Madonna cries foul
Madonna has branded allegations about her diva behaviour in Malawi ‘ridiculous’. The Good Girl Gone Wild singer hit back at President Joyce Banda's claims she demanded VIP treatment including preferential treatment for herself and her entourage at an airport, and an audience with the nation's leader during her recent visit to the African country to oversee her charity Raising Malawi, and has accused the president of spreading ‘lies’. In a statement released via her charity, the 54-year-old star said: “I’m saddened that Malawi's President Joyce Banda has chosen to release lies about what we've accomplished, my intentions, how I personally conducted myself while visiting Malawi and other untruths. I have no intentions of being distracted by these ridiculous allegations.”
Walking gingerly
Charlie Sheen loves snacking on raw ginger. The former bad boy has swapped drugs and alcohol for healthy snacks and his personal chef Khristianne Uy revealed Charlie is always willing to experiment when it comes to food. She told People magazine: “He loves snacking on raw ginger. He'll try anything! He's cool like that. He'll be like, ‘Come to the (Anger Management) set, K, cook whatever you want.' He's working out again.” Although Charlie was once renowned for wild parties at his home, these days the Anger Management actor prefers to have friends over for dinner. Charlie has completely turned his life around following his dramatic firing from Two And A Half Men after he reportedly went on a drug and alcohol binge and fell out with the show’s creator Chuck lorre in 2011.
A Price for the trend
Kate Price thinks she has become a ‘trend-setter’ since designing her own wedding dress. The TV star tied the knot for a second time with her third husband Kieran Hayler at the end of last month in a Willy-Wonka-themed blessing in Weston-super-Mare, South West England, and created her own gown for the occasion, which featured 10 petticoats and a bodice covered in ostrich feathers. Katie thinks her unique outfit choice which is part of her upcoming bridal range has made her a fashion expert after learning dog clothes designer lilly Shahravesh, has taken inspiration from the dress for her new pieces. Writing in her column for The Sun newspaper, Katie said: “I knew that I would one day become a trend-setter. At my recent wedding, I wore an ostrich feather dress that I designed myself. Now I see that fellow couturier lilly Shahravesh has had the same idea ... I'm happy I've been able to teach lilly some new tricks.”
