Put your hand on your heart...

...and tell me that you're not excited about the fact that Kylie's back! Even if you're not that excited right now (shame on you) you won't be able to help yourself once you hear her new single - 2 Hearts.

Kylie's taken the sexy, bluesy, 'oh la la' of the Scissor Sisters and Goldfrapp and mixed in her own superstar style to create another piece of pop perfection. Combine that with a vid which sees her strutting about like a S&M Marilyn Monroe and you've got one hell of a comeback -hurrah!

Is She Really Going Out With Him? 2

Posts dedicated to rumours of romance and bizarre couplings in Celebsville.

Today - Jennifer Aniston and Orlando Bloom

Spotted together at an exclusive resort in Mexico. Apparently they share the same agent and were attending said agents wedding. According to some of the other wedding guests they were sharing the odd kiss too. Oh we so want this one to be true!

Animal Magic - Monkey Business 1

Animals - they're brilliant. And we've decided that it's about time we dedicated a section of the LBD blog to them. So welcome to Animal Magic a celebration of our furry and feathered friends and their weird and wonderful world.

First up, allow us to introduce you to Charlie the Karate Chimp - a super smart simian with a penchant for Martial Arts.

Little Black Dress goes to the movies....

Atonement has to be the best book-to-film adaptation since Ann Hathaway sashayed her way across Runway's foyer to serve Meryl Streep. Not only is the story a corker which will have you weeping into your popcorn for about 2hours over the injustices of war; not only does it star the very talented Mr James McAvoy; not only does it question the security of the novelist/reader relationship and the very nature of atonement, but it manages to do all this while oozing a sultry 1930s glamour. A must-see on every level.

Today's "Are they? Aren't they?" coupling - Sienna Miller and Rhys Ifans

They say they're 'just good friends'. Loads of other people say they've seen them snogging! Who do you believe?

'The Big Day'

This BBC1 programme provoked cries of disbelief here at LDB towers. The concept is that your wedding is planned in five days by your friends and family. You and your betrothed have no idea what is going on and have only to turn up on time. How can this be a good idea?!! Think of everything that could go wrong: (in an increasing scale of disaster) the reception being in Pizza Hut, losing all your friends and family forever, the dress being hideous. Moreover, who could willingly give up planning the most self-centred and indulgent day you're ever going to get? This is your one chance to debate over what shade of sugared almond to plump for, to force your sister into a peach puffball, to obsess over stationary for god's sake! Actually on second thoughts, maybe this is the way weddings should be...any thoughts out there?

Hallow and Goodbye…

Finishing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is a bit like ending a seven-year relationship, albeit a slightly unconventional one with an entirely fictional wizarding universe. Does anyone else feel they need therapy now, or at the very least an obsessive deconstruction with girlfriends over a bottle of wine? ‘Why did he leave me??!!!!’

Fringe benefits

Little Black Dress is looking forward to August and to booking a trip up to beautiful Edinburgh for a comedy fix at the Edinburgh Fringe – the best place outside the latest LBD title to get us giggling.

We plan to support the sisterhood by seeing the lovely Josie Long’s show ‘Trying is Good’ (love the title, love the homemade poster!), or the irrepressibly girlie Lucy Porter’s ‘Love-in’. Afterwards we will be haunting various venue bars on the look out for a lonely comic far from home- GSOH is so attractive in a man…

Just Another Manic Monday

As we wave goodbye to the weekend and enter the working week once more, things can seem a little gloomy.

But all is not lost - the sun is out and this post contains the fabulous folky phonics of Feist - guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

Birthday Girls

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US

Are they? Aren't they?

Looks like Chantelle & Preston's marriage may not be not be quite as doomed as it first seemed (i.e. when they announced that they were getting divorced).

This week the pair were spotted returning to the Brighton home they once shared, with bags full of groceries. So was a romantic meal and a spot of reconciliation on the cards perhaps?

Now if I was cynical I might suggest that this whole divorce debacle was a rather cunning way of the couple making even more squids when they sell their 'How we realised that we just couldn't live without each other' story with exclusive photographs of their 're-newing of vows ceremony'. But as I don't have a cynical bone in my body (Uh, uh. No way, not me) I will just suggest that you watch this space...and the new stands!

C'est chic n'est pas?'

Tour de France last weekend, Bastille Day this weekend...at Little Black Dress we're experiencing a trés French moment! There's a veritable chocolate box of tantalisingly romantic flicks to pick from at the cinema - Ma Vie En Rose, Moliere, Paris Je t'aime...

If you're still not satisfied after these, why not hunt out the original Parisian love story Breathless or 2004's Before Sunset on DVD? On the small screen BBC2's series Paris just makes the LBD team want to relocate the office to a leafy boulevard in the Marais and thrash out cover issues on a terrace café. La Petite Robe Noir - it could work!!! It is the home city of Coco Chanel after all...

O.M.G!

It's official The Spice Girls are reforming.

This should be interesting...

Splitsville

Loves young dream (otherwise known as Chantelle and Preston) have announced that they're filing for divorce. Didn't see that one coming.

Still at least they can console themselves with the big fat cheques, due to drop through the letter box any day now, from their 'My Marriage Hell' tabloid exclusives. Harsh? Why yes. But fair? Oh I think so.

It's Friday I'm In Love...

...with Kate Nash's new song "Foundations".

With lyrics like...

"You said I must eat so many lemons 'cause I am so bitter.

I said I'd rather be with your friends mate 'cause they are much fitter."

...how can you resist.

ps. It does have a couple of rude words in it

It's Friday I'm (also) In Love...

...with "Boyz" by M.I.A.

Even more gossip and good stuff for us - hurrah!

Paris Goes Down

...for three days!

So Ms Hilton has managed to serve a measly 3 days of a 23 day sentence (which had already been reduced from 45). Apparently she's been freed early due to a 'medical condition'. Although the exact nature of said 'condition' is yet to be released, I'm guessing it has something to do with a severe allergic reaction to being behind bars. I would imagine that the poor lamb came out in hives as soon as she laid eyes on the natty orange boiler suit she was going to have to wear and her tiny mind would have been totally fried by the idea of living sans mobile and credit cards for the next month.

Paris has since been tagged and placed under house arrest for the next 40 days - anyone want to place bets on how long it takes for diamond encrusted ankle tags to become all the rage in LA? Five quid says Posh will be the first.

Big Brother...

...do we really care?

Despite having managed to avoid watching any of this years BB I still seem to be fully aware of all goings on in house. How does this happen? I did not ask for this. But it would seem that my subconscious just can't resist it. It must be picking up snippets from the fronts of other peoples papers, overhearing conversations at bus stops and have possibly even been sleep-watching the live overnight feed.

So anyhoo, I have decided that if I really must know what's going on then I shall choose where I'm getting my info from. And I choose the brilliant BB blog of Grace Dent. Hilariously honest, even if you don't like Big Brother this is well worth a read, so get clicking and check it out.
