Olivia Wilde

Olivia Wilde Goes Topless for GQ Russia

Ranking as one of the hottest ladies in Tinseltown, Olivia Wilde flaunted her fabulous figure in the June 2010 issue of GQ Russia.

Showing off her bikini body before daringly tossing off her top, the 26-year-old actress did her best to help the popular magazine boost their sales numbers for the month.

The GQ spread comes amidst talk that Miss Wilde is taking time off from her hit show "House" to star in the Jon Favreau directed film "Cowboys & Aliens".

Executive producer Katie Jacobs tells, "Olivia will be there at the very beginning of the season, and then she will not be there for a period of time."

Blake Lively

Underneath that cool exterior lies a shy gal “The sex scene was really awkward. It was my first day, so thank you for that,” the Gossip Girl star said jokingly during an interview for Interview magazine. “I guess it was good to break the ice.” Ben commented that Blake, who by the way looks glamorous and gorgeous on the cover of Interview magazine even in handcuffs, seemed “very poised and comfortable” doing the scene. She was “more mature than some of the crew members”, he says. Blake’s secret to handling such uncomfortable situations? “I’m naturally very shy, but I was brought up in a way where I had to get up and get out of that... I have a big family and no one ever treated me like a child,” she explains. “They always treated me like an adult, like an equal. But with acting, I think half of it is just acting confident.” Blake came from a family of actors but they were all down-to-earth. “I don’t feel like I ever had any sort of Hollywood upbringing,” she says. “I got to travel and visit my family on set. I got to eat craft service. I actually think that was the reason I got into acting: the free food. I literally remember on my first job being like, ‘Yes! I get to have craft service every day!’”

Topless official photos of some Miss Universe contestants have drawn the ire of watchers.

Miss USA and Miss Japan are some of the contestants who posed topless with only strategically placed body paint to cover their modesty.

However, most of the pageant's Asian contestants (with the exception of Miss Japan) have refused to pose naked.

Miss Singapore Universe Tania Lim told The New Paper that she wouldn't do the nude shots because she is representing Singapore. "Coming from Asia, we tend to be more conservative.

The beauty queen added she is thankful that the organisers did not force her to pose naked.

Meanwhile, Miss Malaysia Universe Nadine Ann Thomas had earlier told The Daily Chilli that she would never pose for provocative shots because she doesn't think it is necessary.

In the official Miss Universe photos, Thomas dons a black bikini with green and yellow body paint across her body.

The 2010 Miss Universe pageant will be held in Las Vegas on August 23.

Nadine Ann Thomas

Nadine Ann Thomas, a 23-year old event coordinator, was crowned Miss Universe Malaysia 2010 on May 15th. The 1.73m beauty will travel to the USA to compete in the 2010 Miss Universe pageant on Aug. 22.

US born singer Coco Lee looked at least a decade younger than her 35 years in a tight, pink dress at a recent press conference in Singapore.

The sexy star had dropped by to promote her upcoming concert in October.

It has been 10 long years since the lion city saw her perform and Coco herself admitted that she was nervous about her concert's turnout.

"However, I think the organizers are more worried than I am," she told xinmsn.

A quick check with the organizers ECG Events & Lifestyle, however, revealed that her fears were unnecessary - ticket sales have already exceeded 60 percent.

Moreover, fans can expect a visual feast with over 13 costume changes at the concert.

"For one set of costume I can strip a few times into different styles, so it's going to be rather dramatic!" she enthused.

Coco, who grew up in the States, is unabashedly loud and proud about her assets.

"You people like to see me strip, eh?," she teased.

But despite having a body to-die-for, Coco said it isn't easy for her to maintain her figure.

She added that she fasts whenever she needs to wear something tight-fitting.

"If I eat and my tummy shows, people are going to think that I'm pregnant!" said Coco.

Coco is currently engaged to her Canadian boyfriend Bruce, 52, though the pair has yet to set a wedding date.

"I might announce my wedding at my concert, so you must come and watch it," she said, adding that her ideal wedding would be held near the sea, so it is possible that she would get hitched in Singapore.

Lena Yang

When kung fu meets music

Meet Lena Yang, the pop princess who knows kung fu.

By Chew Wan Ying

At first glance, with her doe eyes and sweet smile, Mandopop newcomer Lena Yang looks like a cross between Jolin Tsai and Zhao Wei.

However, compared to Tsai, Lena is armed with a secret weapon that might give the pop princess a run for her money.

This girl can kick butt – literally.

The budding singer beat 600 contestants from 24 countries to win a medal at the 2009 Hong Kong International Martial Arts Contest.

It came as no surprise when her music label, Rock Records, packaged her as a pop star that knows kung fu.

As much as that sets her apart from the rest of the pop stars ruling the chart, it can be a double-edged sword at times.

She admitted that her background in martial arts intimidated some of her suitors.

“People think that I’m tough, but I am actually very gentle. I would not simply hit my boyfriend,” she said with a laugh, at a press conference in Kuala Lumpur recently.

At 22, Lena had extensive experience in the showbiz, having started modelling for print and TV commercials at 15.

She entered the Hong Kong showbiz at 19 and by that time, she had over 100 commercials under her belt, with Nicholas Tse and Vanness Wu among her collaborators.

Musically, it is hard not to compare her to Tsai, when you consider how similar they are in terms of their pop dance darling image and sexy dances.

Citing her age as an advantage over the 29-year-old Tsai, Lena said, “Many people say that I resemble her, but I hope that one day people can see me as a unique person.”

While she is not against the idea of becoming a goddess for gaming geeks, à la otaku-killer Yao Yao, don’t expect her to head down the route of Hong Kong’s pseudo models, who use sex as a selling point.

“They are models and I’m a singer, so there’s a limit to my sexiness. I will be sexy, but not sleazy,” she replied.

The Shanghai-born lass is also set to start her acting career in Hong Kong.

“We are currently in talks with a few film studios. I wish to take on action roles,” she said, adding that her dream is to work with Ip Man star Donnie Yen one day.

“I learnt Wing Chun before and I was at one point attached to take part in the shooting of the prequel film The Legend Is Born: Ip Man, but I missed the chance as I was busy preparing for my first album then. I really hope to star in a movie or a TV series about Wing Chun in the future,” she concluded.

Taylor Momsen & Sex With Priest?

Tuesday, August 10, 2010

All sexed up Taylor Momsen better watch what she says. Just recently she said that her best friend is a vibrator. Now she talks about having sex with a priest! Three weeks after she put Miley Cyrus on blast, the 17-year-old Gossip Girl star slammed the Catholic Church during a New Zealand radio interview — all while making lewd jokes about sleeping with clergymen. “I was raised Catholic,” Taylor said. “I f***ed a priest once — I’m just kidding.” But the aspiring rocker insists that she does take issue with priests who have been accused of molesting children, which is why she penned the song Going Down with her band, The Pretty Reckless. Hmm, is it just me who sees Taylor Momsen shaping out to be Courtney Love? Is this a blonde thingy.

Christy Yow

Busty Christy gives up nude poses for love

By Noorsila Abd Majid

Love changes everything. Singapore-based Malaysian model, Christy Yow says she will not do any more raunchy photo shoots or movies in the future out of respect for her husband.

In fact, the 23-year-old Ipoh lass, who set tongues awagging with her 36C bustline and subsequently, the leading role as legendary stripper Rose Chan in the movie, The Charming Rose, plans to denounce her sex symbol career.

"If you ask me a year ago, the answer would be NO," Christy tells The Daily Chilli exclusively. "All my friends knows that I am not the marrying sort of girl, especially so when my career is at its peak. But somehow, he feels just right and most importantly, he is good to my parents."

And yes, no more topless or nude photo shoots for her, ala the ones that she did for FHM Singapore and F*** (Film, Fame & Frank) magazine.

Strangely enough, her man and his family are OK with her previous sexy photo spread.

"They are cool about the pictures," Christy explains. "In fact, they understand that the persona in print is far off from who I am and after meeting me and getting to know me - they love the real me."

So in love are they that the model-turned-actress and her Taiwanese hubby have registered their marriage in Singapore recently.

They are planning to hold their wedding reception sometime next year.

"He simply went down on his knees and proposed to me last December," she recaps. "It was very romantic."

The couple began their whirlwind romance at the end of last year after meeting each other at an acting class in Taipei.

"This is not an impulsive decision," Christy reiterates. "I had discussed this in length with my family members as well as my manager. They had given me their blessing."

The budding actress has since, quit her role as Rose Chan, a decision she described as "heart-breaking".

"It will be a lie if I say I don't feel sad about letting it go," says Christy. "Eric Khoo (the movie director) is the most gracious person in the world. When I broke the news to him, instead of getting upset with me he hugged me and gave me his blessing. Like a concerned father he wanted to know more about this wonderful man I am going to give up everything for. He even gave me tips to a successful marriage."

But then quoting her manager, Terence Ang: "Sometimes success cannot replace the happiness of a lifetime."

Olivia Munn

Iron Man 2 Star Olivia Munn Pens Memoir

Get to know me better...

Iron Man 2 star Olivia Munn has put pen to paper about her abusive upbringing and rise to fame in a new autobiography. The actress, who turned 30 recently, has written a candid memoir entitled Suck It, Wonder Woman! The Misadventures of a Hollywood Geek, which hit shelves in U.S on 6 July.

Olivia hopes sharing humorous behind-the-scenes tales of her success, and how she overcame personal trauma, will inspire young women who face similar challenges.

She tells New York Magazine, “I want young girls to know there’s somebody who went through a lot of bad stuff and made it out on the other end. I had an abusive stepfather. And because he was in the Air Force, we were always moving. I was disliked because I was the new girl in every school I went to. But it made me resilient and taught me to use humour to make friends.”

No matter how many celebs have talked about their abuse before, fresh ones are always newsworthy. I guess nothing brings people together like knowing that “there’s another person out there who has gone through hell and back.” And more so if it’s a celebrity. The buzz is that much bigger.

Priyanka Chopra

No haircut for ex-Miss World Priyanka Chopra

Diva alert.

Top Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra has offended a prominent director, Anurag Basu by refusing to cut her mane in his new movie, Silence.

Apparently, the former Miss World, who has experimented with her hair in other films, was not happy when the director asked her to change her style.

"When Anurag suggested she cut her hair really short for the role, PC freaked out. She suggested she could wear a wig instead," claims an insider.

When pressed for comments, Priyanka says, "It's too early to talk about Silence. We haven't decided whether I will cut my hair for the role. At the moment, my focus is on Khatron Ke Khiladi and then Don 2. I only start Anurag's film early next year."

Spiderwoman

Lovelorn 'Spiderwoman' lands in jail

Cookery teacher Berry Chan Sau- har, 25, put a knife to the throat of her ex-boyfriend Terry Chan Tat-fu, 28, to demand that they get back together in December last year, the District Court heard Monday.

Chan was convicted of aggravated burglary two weeks ago.

Describing the case as "unusual" during sentencing, Deputy District Judge Amanda Jane Woodcock said Chan's acts and speech at the time of the offense proved she had an intent to wound her ex- boyfriend.

The court was told the woman, who had no criminal record, had been assessed to be suffering from schizophrenia in September last year, or about three months before the incident.

But Woodcock said an up-to-date psychiatric report showed otherwise.

Terry Chan awoke to find his ex-girlfriend - wearing a wig, gloves and black outfit - holding a knife to his neck

The judge also said Chan appeared calm when giving a statement under caution to the police after her arrest.

Woodcock said Chan's attack was premeditated as she had bought a knife the day before the offense.

The judge also said she believed Chan's act was made out of anger, jealousy and disappointment.

Defense lawyer Jonathan Acton-Bond asked the court to hand down a community service order instead of a jail term.

However, Woodcock said the case was so serious that community service would be inappropriate.

But the judge said she believed Chan's chance of repeating the offense was low with family support.

The pair had lived together since December 2008 but broke up in October last year.

The court heard that on the morning of December 23 last year, Chan shimmied down from the roof of a Cheung Sha Wan building with a rope and took off the window grille of her ex-boyfriend's flat with a screwdriver.

Terry Chan awoke to find his ex-girlfriend - wearing a wig, gloves and black outfit - holding a knife to his neck.

She urged him to get back together but he did not reply. After seeing her wave the knife in her right hand, he managed to disarm her by pinning the woman's hand to the mattress.

Chan bit her former boyfriend's right arm during the ensuing struggle.

He was taken to hospital where he received treatment to an abrasion on his neck.
