On Lorraine Kelly with Jon Bon Jovi and in OK mag again!


I am in OK magazine again! This is the original picture that has gone in but it is a lot smaller in the mag! The picture was taken at Jennifer Ellison's Glamioke night. I am photographed with Nice Ede who I also bumped into again today at The London Studios...So today we filmed my 5minutes or so slot on Lorraine Kelly Show having been put up last night at the City Inn Hotel, Westminster. Well what a hotel! We were treated like absolute royalty, had blacked out cars to escort us to everywhere and anywhere. It was the most amazing experience, and then today just topped it. I was so nervous but it all paid off when JON BON JOVI was there and I got to share a sofa with him!!! In fact they asked him to get up so I could sit down! I can't believe I met Jon Bon Jovi, he is a legend. Lorraine was lovely as expected and I am sure I sound like a complete idiot but hey. I will have my interview aired on Thursday so watch out! Hope I look good!

Things gone mad



So I appeared in The Daily Mail on Thursday and by Thursday afternoon I had been contacted by GMTV, asking me to go on their show, asked for 4 radio interviews over the next 2 days, Asked to go on Lorraine Kelly, asked for an article by Now magazine, Bella magazine, journalists ringing my mobie number!!! O My God! I had a car pick me up Thursday evening to take me to Radio 5 live and had a really good interview there with someone from The Mirror phoning in saying hats off to me!
I had a look on The Daily Mail website and the commrnts on there about my article were so positive! I am so glad people have understood the concept of my project. I am not trying to become famous...I am a graphic designer, I am just exploring how the media works in today's society. As I am writing this I have just had a phonecall from my local newspaper asking me to do an article with them too. Funny how before I hit the Daily Mail I was being turned down for articles and now they are fighting over an exclusive by topping each others bids!

AAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today has been crazy as my article came out in the Daily Mail!!!!!!! Updates to come soon, I promise!!!
Just got in from a radio interview with Five Live x

London Club and Bar Awards





Piers from OK magazine invited me to this award ceremony on Tuesday at the Riverside Park Plaza Hotel. Arriving on my own was awful but I soon caught up with Piers and we went on the hunt for celebs. We found Michelle Heaton, Andy Scott-Lee, Peter Stringfellow, Alicia (Mysteeq), and we only saw Naomi Campbell when she presented an award! I snuck onto someone's table and even managed to bag myself a free dinner-Fillet steak with the thinnest sliced potatoes I had ever seen, in fact they were pretty much non-existant...but the steak was scrummy! I was then invited onto 'Glamour' party where the likes of Victoria Beckham were hanging out but I had a banging headache from all the free champagne and pina colada's and knew I had to be at uni the next day so headed home! What a loser! I chatted to Michelle Heaton in the toilets about my project and she also thought it was a really fun idea and relevant. I later ran to the men's toilet with Alicia as the security wouldn't let us leave the awards room and the men's was the only one close by! We got a few funny looks by some male celebs when we wandered in and out I must say! Never mind.

Daily Mail interview

Today I had a journalist come round from the Daily Mail to interview me followed by a photographer and stylist/make up artist to take some shots for an article that will hopefully be in the paper this week!
It took me 2 hours to explain my project and talk about everything I had done and then another hour or so for the photo shoot. I really enjoyed today as the people were lovely, and I got to reflect on what I had achieved over the past 3 months. It was quite over-whelming!!! Tonight I have been asked to do a radio interview that will be aired to over 4 million people...more details later!

Cosmogirl photoshoot-long day

Yesterday I went to my Cosmogirl photoshoot. I was there at 10am and didn't have my photoshoot unil 3.30pm which was a bit annoying but they had another girl to do before me and then needed to work out what they were going to do with the props they had ordered. Unfortunately I had been invited to another photoshoot to promote a nightclub in Mayfair but I had to turn it down in order to do this shoot. Who would of thought 12 weeks ago I would be turning down a photoshoot?! I was guted as I sent some friends of mine along instead and they had a great time! Never mind

Music Video recording


Wednesday I went to Dragonfly's music video recording. It was a long day but I am sure I am on screen as I had to be pretending to eat at a restaurant behind where he was singing to his on screen girlfriend. Apparently September time Dragonfly is going to be HUGE, and I believe he will be as he is very talented. Look out for me!

Sex sells

Sunday's News of the World really got me thinking. Nearly every page was "I slept with...(X celebrity)" The reason I brought this paper was because I was told Lewis Hamilton had his first kiss and tell in there. I went to school with Lewis and we have remained friends ever since. I spoke to him to see what he thought and also to congratulate him on his success that day(he came 2nd again at Monaco). Thing was he didn't know about the article and told me that it was lies anyway. He couldn't believe a girl who was 2 years below him at school had done this. How could that girl firstly make that up just for money and secondly obviously not care how it might affect Lewis and his current girlfriend's relationship? I then turned the page to see Imogen from Big Brother on all fours saying how she had slept with Russel Brand. Is this now what people will lower themselves to in order to get in or stay in the spotlight-sex?

Rod Stewarts house for lunch...!


Wow! Ok so I went to Rod Stewarts house Sunday!!!!! How good does that sound! A friend of my family knows his brother quite well and told him about my project. Don Stewart then invited me to Rod's house to get some photos taken with him for my project. Rod's football team were playing that morning in his garden(!!) so it was a great opportunity for me to go then and watch a bit of footie too. Unfortunately it was raining like mad but it didn't stop the excitement in me! As we pulled through the gates to his house I became really nervous, his grounds are amazing. I can't believe how much land he owns. Tennis courts, swimming pool, football pitch with changing rooms and seating, stables...it was incredible. I was introduced to Rod before the football and he kissed my hand to say hello! Shame I didn't get that on camera! He couldn't really talk too much as he was trying to organise his football team but at least I got my photo! I got told off on the way down to the pitch as I tried taking a photo of his land and the house but it wasn't allowed. Just goes to show that the celebrities who have become famous for a huge talent don't need or want the extra attention whereas the others that have become famous for a rubbish reason will do anything to show themselves and what they have off. I am so priviliged to say I achieved meeting Rod Stewart.

Another party...!

Friday night I was invited by Julian Bennet to his birthday party at his house in Putney. My friend and I got extremely lost but when we finally arrived there 2 hours late we were welcomed into the most gorgeous house with a live band in the garden. Thankfully the weather was nice so we mostly stayed in the garden where there was free champagne, wine and beer. Julian had also put on a huge buffet in the dining area however there was not much left by the time we got there!
I got talking to Antonio (Darlene) from 'Bad Girls' on ITV who thought my project was such a good idea. She said that she feels people can definately become famous today without using a talent as celebrities already have! We had a great laugh talking about these celebrities, she was completely down to earth! She was also saying as well how celebrities do pretend they know on another at parties and so wasn't suprised that at Celeb Soccer 6 I wasn't asked why I was there and was just accepted as a celeb. I did have a few drinks too many and decided to leave at about 2am. Other celebrities there included Michelle Collins, Du'aine Ladejo and Chico! Chico was great! He told me I was 'very lovely' and after the photographer from OK magazine asked me to kiss Chico on the cheek for a photo, he whispered "I'll have to return that later!' I must say he smelt divine and yes I did ask him 'What time is it...!"
me and Chico!
