Keeping up with three excited boys on a family day out can’t be easy, but Victoria Beckham managed to do it in six inch stilettos when she recently visited a theme park for the day with her boys, the mother of three never shies away from a little pain in the name of fashion.

But she elevated sartorial suffering to new heights when she insisted on Christian Louboutin high heels for a trip to a theme park at the weekend, where as most would where a comfy pair of trainers or flip flops for a day a Universal Studios in Los Angeles, but Victoria tottered through the day in her six inch Louboutin’s, and her three young boys ran ahead in leaps and bounds whilst she hobbled behind trying to keep up. 

Mrs Beckham’s poor feet looked like they needed a day out too. ’Victoria’s feet looked almost out of shape, her toes were squashed down at the bottom of the shoe and her ankles were forced forward.” One onlooker that spotted on the day said. 

‘The shoes even look like they were too big for her. There was a huge gap at the back.’

But Victoria stood out from the crowds in a sleek black dress, oversize sunglasses and favourite Louboutins, she is rarely seen without her heels.

Even when she was given the honour of throwing the first pitch at an LA Dodgers baseball game she wore wedges rather than trainers.

‘I just can’t concentrate in flats,’ she has said.

Oscar Awards 2009

425slumdogmillionairecast012509Brit film Slumdog Millionaire bagged eight trophies at the Brits including best picture, direction, adapted screenplay and cinematography and these awards cement the reputation of Fox Searchlight as a champion of work that Hollywood won’t risk.

The film Slumdog Millionaire is a love story which has successfully combined an artists ambition but the commercial appeal of the film is broad and most can relate to the film, it will cover all genre’s of tastes and has already appealed to many already, and this is reflected by the films wins on the night winning eight Oscars, including the best picture trophy.

The 81st annual Academy Awards marked an amazing outcome for the movie, which was filled with subtitles, scenes of torture and a Bollywood dance sequence, and these wins give the distributor Film Searchlight a amazing reputation which has resulted in it becoming Hollywood’s top advocate of the kind of daring works that movie studios have all but abandoned.

The director of Slumdog was Brit Danny Boyle, and he captured the fictional account of a Mumbai orphan’s surprising winning streak on India’s version of “Who Wants to be a Millionaire”, from which he tough upbringing in the Indian slums resulted in him having the experience and knowledge to win the show, which was constantly questioned throughout the process of winning – as he was accused of cheating by the government and tortured to try and get him to admit he was a cheat. 

The film was produced by a British company and the wins for the film have dramatized the global compass reading of contemporary movie production, as other top Oscar winners showed. 

kate-winslet_1342366iThe best supporting actress winner was Spain’s Penelope Cruz for “Vicky Cristina Barcelona”; Australian actor Heath Ledger was posthumously named best supporting actor for “The Dark Knight”; and British star Kate Winslet won best actress for “The Reader.” The only acting winner with a U.S. birth certificate: Sean Penn, who played the title character in “Milk.”

The genre of films has appeared to change recently and the big movie studios are steering clear of highbrow literary dramas, aiming their resources at mass-appeal works including family-friendly animation, superhero stories and established franchises such as James Bond and Harry Potter.

As others have ditched movies that require patient marketing to build grass-roots audience interest — “Slumdog Millionaire” debuted in just 10 theaters last November and didn’t reach its widest national release until last weekend — Fox Searchlight has become Hollywood’s unequaled home for films made outside the normal studio channels, the domestic gross from Slumdog is estimated at $100 million. 

Danny Boyle briefly spoke about the film backstage saying: “It’s a triumph for this kind of film.”

Eva Longoria At New York Fashion Week

article-1148464-038e790c000005dc-27_224x688

New York Fashion Week is by far the most stylish event on the city’s calender and it seems Eva Longoria was eager to stand out from the crowd, but the desperate housewives star without a doubt drew attention to herself whilst she attended Matthew Williamson’s runway show but it was for the wrong reasons…

The gorgeous actress plumped for a technicolour coat that featured a rather garish mixture of burnt orange, brown and turquoise, and the awful coat was a surprising and dowdy choice for the 33-year-old, who is usually a picture of sass and sophistication in her customary little party frocks.

Eva was attending the catwalk show for celebrated British designer’s latest collection, and Williamson counts Sienna Miller and Cheryl Cole among his many celebrity friends and he even designed several of Cheryl’s dresses for her appearances on the X Factor – which the hot topic of conversation throughtout the series, even more so than some of the actual acts! 

Eva was sat on the front row at the show to watch the models trot down the fashion runway and she appeared to be having a very good time commenting on the outfits, colours and styles… maybe she should of taken more of a look at what she was wearing! 

Williamson has some crazy designs and he experiments with fur, pairing one coat with maroon leather skinny-leg pants that had snakeskin trim, so maybe Eva’s coat wasn’t so out of place after all.

She added: ‘I used to be such a party girl, id drink like a fish and stay out until all hours. But now I know that if I have a big night out, I’ll sleep late the next day and will probably eat junk food, I’ve turned down a few nights out already. And now that I’m working out, I’m also too busy to shop.’

Alex said she has also cut down on her spending in the wake of the credit crunch saying: ’l've never bought labels for the sake of it. I buy as many clothes in Topshop and All Saints as I do designer.’

She said she does her own nails, make-up and hair and has cut back on her partying in a bid to both keep fit and save money, maybe even WAG’s are becoming more conscious of spending money now!

She said: “I put all the clothes on myself and walk around in it, and I know what feels comfortable. I know how a dress should sit. I’ve worn so many in the past and when I see the photographs I think, crikey, my boobs are up round my neck again because the corsets are too short and not cut high enough.”

Tom Cruise And Katie Holmes Are Moving To The UK

katie_tomAt the UK premiere of his new movie, Valkyrie, Tom Cruise revealed that he and wife Katie Holmes are considering moving to Britain. Now that Madonna has left Blighty behind to return to New York, we could do with some new American A-listers to fill up the celebrity pages of our UK gossip magazines. 

Katie Holmes has already made her mark on Broadway, starring in a production of Arthur Miller’s All My Sons, so the West End is the next step for the actress. Broadway can’t rival the West End for its history, its theatres and the calibre of its actors.

Tom says, “It would be a fantastic move, Katie was absolutely brilliant on Broadway and to work in the West End would be a joy. It is something to consider for both of us. I think we’d love it here.” 

Thanks to the economic crisis, the US dollar is at a high against the pound which is a great opportuntiy especially for multi-millionaires such as the Cruises.

With property prices being slashed across the country, instead of buying a lovely house in London’s Primrose Hill like most celebrities, Tom and Katie could buy a whole street.
