Britney Spearswas not able to impress her German fans from her Circus World Tour recently held in O2 World in Berlin.
Angry fans say that the expensive ticket price was unworthy of the lame performance given by the fat Britney Spears. They labeled her "Dickney" and Speckney" which both mean "fat" in German. Some say it got worst when the pop princess snubbed a group of fans gathered outside her hotel by not signing few photographs but sending out her management to give printed autograph cards instead.
This report was according to German tabloid Bild. Photos of a fuller Britney Spears were also featured. Some, however, believed that the photos were photoshopped since other images and videos from the concert shows a shaper Britney.

Christophe Pourny is not your average New Yorker. He may have an iPod attached to his ears and an EZ pass attached to his windshield, but this is no run of the mill hipster. Listen and youâÂÂll only hear classical music whispering from his headphones, and that EZ pass is attached to a very stylish, but prudent, Volvo station wagon. His childhood in the south of France fed his appetite for a classic yet offbeat ascetic.
While the mere mention of the region brings storybook images to any American ear, the small town of St. Raphael left him longing for the city of light - or any big city for that matter. For sure this was no country bumpkin, after all, his parents ran one of the most well known antique stores on the French Riviera. The rich and famous from all over the world passed through their shop. Worldly people with an eye for the finest treasures from the past counted on the PournyâÂÂs to have just what they werenâÂÂt looking for, but had to have! However, while the rich and famous sought out St. Raphael to fill their weekend treasure hunting, they were sure to leave as soon as they found their gold. When they did leave, there was no one. A half empty shop, his two sisters, and an assigned relative looking after the trio. That is all you would find during the week or during the off seasons. You see these treasures did not find their own way to the Pourny estate. His parents were in fact treasure hunters themselves. So with his parents globe trotting and the chic and fabulous wintering in Paris or Palm Beach, Christophe was left with an active imagination and a promise to himself: One day he would live in Paris. College years found him studying in Paris and apprenticing for his Uncle who just happened to have one of the most famous antique shops in St. Germaine dus pres in Paris. Pierre Madel was a legend and his shop was legendary on Rue Jacob on the left bank. His following stretched from Santa Barbara to St. Tropez. His eye for antiquities was impeccable and his piercing blue eyes were unforgettable. In a former life he had been an actor. Paul Newman looks got him noticed on stage, but mostly by his wife of over 50 years â Arlette Merry. (Herself a well-known stage actress in Paris) It was in this wonderfully warm environment that Christophe learned his craft. Under PierreâÂÂs watchful eye he was able to learn from a master and study from masterpieces that passed through the shop. It was very much this environment that fostered his old worldly charm and passion for all things from times past. It was there that Christophe made another promise to himself: One day, New York. Fifteen years ago ,Christophe Pourny kept that promise and moved to New York to start his own business. How could it not be in the world of antiquities? Over the years Christophe has built a strong and loyal following with the most celebrated interior designers in the business. He is the go-to guy for everything from guilds to finishes. He is equally qualified and specialized in restoration or creation. His work has graced the pages of most major publications and designer retrospectives. His work with the City of New York in City Hall and Gracie Mansion are projects that he is most proud of. After many years as one of New YorkâÂÂs premiere wood finishers, the studio of Christophe Pourny launches its collection of custom wood frames. The first model unveiled is the Rue Jacob. The purity of design and masculinity of its proportions are reminiscent of its namesake.
Elle Decor recently published the first frame in the monthly "Hot List" column. The spot is coveted by everyone in the business as the publication is the benchmark of the interior design industry. The response was overwhelming and even more than the designer himself anticipated. During our interview he told me,
"After 15 years I sometimes feel like a jaded New Yorker, but when I saw the reaction from the Elle Decor readers - I was shocked."
He shouldnt be; Pournys work is second to none and the Rue Jacob is a perfect example of the quality he is known for. The Franklin Report gives the studio a very hard to come by-"Highest imaginable work quality." For more information about Christophe Pourny or the Rue Jacob collection, contact

Looking chic is not effortless. It takes a lot of work and dedication to achieve and maintain a fabulously chick look. While makeup and skin care products are necessary for a polished and elegant look, a well-balanced diet and the right attitude are just as important. Here are some tips to help you rival even the most fabulously chic celebrity. -Judy
Tip #1: âYou Are What You Eat.â I cannot stress this enough, especially to some of my junk food-loving friends: What you put in you body is more important than what you put on your face. Most people buy the ridiculously priced cleansers and moisturizers to achieve a flawless, radiant complexion, while my mother will use whatever brand is on sale at C.V.S. and women constantly compliment her on her perfect complexion and ask her for her secrets. A diet rich in protein (red meat), fish with omega 3 fatty acids (i.e. salmon), fruits and veggies, and a lot of water is the secret. If you eat foods that have the necessary vitamins and anti-oxidants which promote healthy skin, then you will have beautiful, healthy skin no matter what brand of makeup and skin care products you use.
Tip #2: Exfoliate Regularly Exfoliation keeps the pores of your body unclogged and the blood circulation flowing which, as I was taught by my mother, promotes radiant-looking skin. I do a thorough exfoliation weekly with a Korean Sauna Bath Towel (not available on the web but can be found in any Korean supermarket). Whenever I use it, I can see all the pore-clogging dead skin cells come off my body. In between deep exfoliations, I use a body scrub such as Sabonâs Body Scrub in Lemon/Mint. It exfoliates, moisturizes, and leaves my skin smelling sweet! (The new enzyme peels are also great!)
Tip #3: Away With Grungy Locks! Whether you style your hair down, pulled back into a pony tail, or in an updo, healthy-looking hair is a MUST. Hair should always be treated weekly with an intensive deep conditioning treatment. I like to think that when my hair is being deep conditioned, it is being rejuvenated from daily styling with hot irons and harsh elements from styling products and the environment (i.e. sun, pollution). A little silly I guess, but the benefits are not. Shampooing daily is considered a âno-noâ, but there are products such as dry shampoos and hair mists made especially for in-between shampoos. They leave your hair and scalp feeling clean and smelling fresh.
Tip #4: Find a Skin Care Regimen And stick to it religiously. Aside from the usual cleansing and moisturizing ritual, regular exfoliations (2-3 days a week) and a weekly detoxifying facials or facial steams are excellent ways to clear out the pores. Some, like me, may benefit form using a gentle exfoliating cleanser every morning. Whatever you preference, you skin care regimen should consist of products that will leave your skin clean, well moisturized, and blemish-free.
Tip #5: Keep It Simple Too much color on the face especially colors that do not blend or coordinate well with each other, can make you look more like a circus clown than a fabulously chic female. Here is a rule I swear by: If you choose to wear a deep lip shade, go neutral with the eyes, and vice versa. As far as cheeks go, itâs best to stick with shades that match or enhance your natural âIâm gushingâ shade such as pinkish brown shades. Using a bronzer is just as good if you want a little sun-kissed color. However, donât go crazy by applying it all over your face. You want a natural sun-kissed look. Dust bronzer directly on your T-zone (forehead, nose, cheeks, and chin) since that is where the face tans. Oh, and never forget to use an eyelash curler. Itâs the best instant eye opener.
Tip #6: Hands Up, Feet Out A fabulously chic femaleâs hands and feet are always shaped, polished, and well-moisturized. She will not, and does not, let something silly as freezing weather and snow prevent her from treating her hands and feet from a relaxing mani/pedi. If weekly visits to a nail salon does not fit into your budget that is still no excuse for walking around with chipped nail polish and dry hands and feet. It doesnt have to take too a lot of money or time to make sure hands and feet are well groomed. So donât let unpolished hands and feet ruin your fab look.
Tip #7: Never Leave the House without Wearing Your Favorite Fragrance However, if you use the Sabonâs Body Scrub, youâll realize you wont need to spritz any perfume on.
Tip #8: Attitude makes all the difference. It is one thing to look beautiful and another to be a beautiful person. I have often seen an attractive female look less attractive because of her negative, often rude remarks toward others. A female who lacks courtesy and congeniality is very unbecoming no matter how well-dressed and well-made up she may be.
Confidence â a healthy dose of confidence â can make a big difference. Before you expect others to see you as beautiful and fabulously chic, you have to believe that you are. I guess it sounds kind of cheesy. Iâm a step away from telling you to wake up each morning saying âI Am Beautiful!â But how you see yourself influences how you treat yourself and how others will see you. Therefore, if you want people to perceive you as beautiful, then tell yourself that you are beautiful (just took that step and now in Cheesyville, USA) and BELIEVE IT.
Perez Hilton, the celebrity blogger who writes about other peoples drama, has spilled his own drama to the world when he claimed being punched by Black Eyed Peas tour manager.
According to Perez Hilton (Mario Lavandeira in real life) he got into an argument with band members Fergie and will.i.am at the Cobra nightclub in Toronto and was punched by Polo Molina, the bands tour manager.
The blogger told the Associated Press that will.i.am. came up to him and said that he should not write about his band on his blogsite. Perez Hilton, in all his "meanness," apparently refused and called the singer a "faggot" and a gay:
"He was like You need to respect me. He was in my face. He was obviously trying to intimidate me and scare me. I was like I dont need to respect you. I dont respect you and I did say this, and I knew that it would be the worst thing I could possibly say to him because he was acting the way he was. I said You know what, I dont respect you and youre gay and stop being such a faggot."
Perez Hilton was about to leave the club when he was punched from behind.
On his Twitter account, the blogger wrote: "I am bleeding. Please, I need to file a police report. No joke." He also posted his attack video on YouTube.
Sadly though, there was little sympathy for Perez Hilton. (Honestly, I couldnt find any comments on the Web that favors the blogger.) It was like all praises were on the Black Eyed Peas. Even celebrities like Kelly Clarkson expressed how she liked Perez Hilton being punched - a "violence" worth the cause.
These were just three of the million comments on the web about the whole Perez Hilton vs will.i.am thing:
You talk ***** on people for a living then complain about getting punched in the face. Be a man and...oh wait never mind forgot who we were talking about. - STBAT25STBAT25
Am I the only one who has noticed how hypocritical the whole Perez calling Will.I.Am a faggot thing is?Isnât Perez the asshole who made such a big deal out of the whole Miss. California thing and now comes out saying that the biggest insult he could think of is telling someone theyâre gay?Hell he deserves to at least lose a limb for that level of hypocrisy. - Geegollyitsjosh
BOOM BOOM POW! LOL. Perez is sure bitchin up a storm. He claims he got punched in the eye, but I dont see a bruise(unless he has it covered up with concealer). Anyway,what I want to know is what did Fergie do toďťż him for him to call her a "Fugly Bitch"? All he does is talk so much crap about people,didnt it dawn on him that sooner or later someone was gonna get fed up with his trash talking. Hes lucky he just got punched. - FLQuietStorm
