Newcomer Mia Wasikowska named highest grossing actress of 2010

The Australian-born actress and relative newcomer Mia Wasikowska has been named the top grossing female actress of 2010, according to a recent list compiled by Forbes magazine.

Wasikowska topped the list as she was lucky enough to be cast as Alice in Tim Burton’s massive hit Alice in Wonderland, which raked in a total of $1.03 billion at the global box office. The fresh-faced 21-year-old also appeared in “The Kids Are All Right” alongside Julianne Moore and Annette Benning this year, which took a respectable $29 million at the box office considering the film’s meagre $4 million budget.

Topping the list of highest grossing male actors was Leonardo DiCaprio, after his starring role in Inception.

Pete Doherty gets acting debut in Alfred de Musset biopic

Although the former Libertines frontman Pete Doherty is better known these days for his documented problems with illegal substances than his music, he is not usually associated with the world of film.

All this is set to change with the making of a new biopic of 19th century French poet Alfred de Musset, in which Doherty makes his acting debut. The 31-year-old is set to star opposite Anglo-French actress Charlotte Gainsbourg in the movie, which is a film adaptation of the celebrated literary figure/notorious dandy’s autobiographical novel La Confession d’un Enfant du Siècle.

Speaking of his new role, Docherty said:

“The story is a love triangle, so it’s pretty intense and romantic,”

“I don’t know if I’m a good actor, but they say I am.”

Willow Smith tears up the charts with ‘Whip My Hair’

Rising star Willow Smith, the daughter of Hollywood couple Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith, has shot up the charts with her debut single, the incredibly catchy Whip My Hair.

The fashionable youngster, who is just ten years old, achieved the number two spot with her single in the charts recently.

Smith was robbed of the number one position by (what some people consider to be the massively overrated) Black-Eyed Peas with The Time (Dirty Bit), their monstrous rip-off/sickeningly messed-up mash-up of the Dirty Dancing theme tune.

Many believe the BEP achieved the number one spot due to their involvement in the X Factor live shows, in which they ‘performed’ their dreadful single.

Matt Cardle wins the X Factor 2010

In a somewhat predictable result – considering that he topped the vote for several consecutive weeks – Matt Cardle has been announced as the winner of X Factor 2010.

In what was an unusually anti-climactic final, possibly due to all the ‘fix’ rumours surrounding the ITV show, Cardle was crowned the winner ahead of the supremely talented Liverpool lass Rebecca Ferguson and cocky pipsqueaks One Direction.

Matt Cardle, who was in Dannii Minogue’s category, will release a cover of Biffy Clyro’s Many of Horror as his first single. The original version of this song was only released by the band in January 2010.

BBC Sound of 2011 list revealed

Boots

UGG Boots are really ugly!

I can’t believe that people will go out and buy the monstrosities! Why wouldn’t you buy a lovely pair of knee length PVC boots??? I can’t understand the whole UGG boot phenomenon! And then there is the ridiculous price they want for the beasts, you can pay over £200 for them!!

I have purchased a pair of boots recently for the winter but they are definitely not UGLY UGG’S they are a lovely pair of furry warm boots and have no resemblance to any style of UGG boot, especially those ones made out of wool with buttons on!

Lady Ga Ga bore…off

Is anyone else sick to death of her?
For gods sake she just isn’t funny anymore! And why did she pretend to be a lesbian in the “Telephone” music video? Is it now cool to be straight and pretend your gay? I doubt very much that she is gay! and then pops up Christina Aguilera and Rihanna who are obviously gay too as they thought they should pretend they like girls in their video’s? what the??? get over yourselve’s!

I suggest you try and muster up some talent instead of selling your souls to pathetic blokes who think they might like to see you kiss a girl in your video!

P.A.T.H.E.T.I.C!!!

Tom Hardy

Have you seen Tom Hardy?
Well let me tell you he is the face of today, tomorrow and every other day of the year!!
I don’t think I have seen a better looking man in all my life, he is absolutely stunningly beautiful, I actually watch films that he is in just so I can look at him, he played Heathcliffe in a recent re-make of Wuthering’s Heights in which he was particularly good looking, however the best so far has to be Rock ‘n’ Rolla in which he played handsome Bob and he was especially handsome in this! 100% B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L
