Taylor Swift Unwell, Postpones Louisville Performance


Taylor Swift postponed her performance tonight, July 2, in Louisville to October 11, under orders from her doctor.

A post on her website reads:

"Due to illness and under doctor's orders, Taylor Swift has been forced to postpone tonight's performance, and the show has been rescheduled for Tuesday, October 11. Taylor is sorry to have to disappoint her fans in Louisville, but is looking forward to coming back this fall."

Swift apologized to her Twitter fans, once again without delving into the nature of her ailment.

"Louisville, I so sorry to have to postpone this show to Oct 11. This is my first time having to do this. I'm so, so sorry."

According to CMT, tickets to the cancelled Louisville concert will be honored at the October show. Those seeking a refund can avail it at the place of purchase.

The 21-year-old Country Music star, currently on the North American leg of her Speak Now World Tour, is scheduled to perform next at Charlotte, NC, on July 8.

The tour is scheduled to end on November 22 in NYC Madison Square Garden.

Prince William and Kate Middleton Crowds in Ottawa


Prince William and his new wife Kate Middleton, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, raised spirits as they visited Ottawa to celebrate Canada Day on July 1.

Kate was immaculately styled as usual, this time pairing her fitted cream engagement dress from Reiss with a red hat by Sylvia Fletcher at Lock and Co and a red fan Anya Hindmarch clutch.

The couple made their arrival in an open carriage drawn by horses, not unlike the one used on their wedding day. They were seen standing for a few minutes to witness the opening ceremonies just before a 21-gun salute and a flyover by two Canadian Forces planes.

Prince William gave a speech, partially in French, to the delight of his audience. The blond prince remarked, "Catherine and I especially are so thrilled and excited by the prospect of the next eight days of being part of the Canadian family. It will be an adventure that we'll never forget."

Kate, 29, scored not only a fashion coup but a diplomatic one as well. The long waves were styled around her face to go with the formal dress. Makeup included smoky eyelids and neutral face colors which would not overshadow the rest of her outfit. The red and white colors of her ensemble were perfectly in tune with the colors of the Canadian flag. Not only that, but the leaves on her hat echoed the flag's symbol as did the diamond brooch she sported on her dress, a gift from the Queen.

William also did his country proud, wearing a navy dress suit with black shoes and powder blue shirt. His red tie echoed the hues of his wife's outfit.

Frankly, we can't think of two better ambassadors for Britain!

Salma Hayek's Husband Admits to Fathering Supermodel's Son


Supermodel Linda Evangelista has filed documents in a New York court seeking child support for her son, Augustin James, 4, from Salma Hayek's husband François-Henri Pinault.

The documents state that Augustin "was born out of wedlock to [petitioner] Linda Evangelista, 46, and that [Pinault] acknowledged [her] allegation," a source tells People magazine.

Augustine was conceived in early 2006.

Hayek and Pinault - CEO of PPR, a French multinational holding company worth $28 billion that owns Gucci, Bottega Veneta and Yves Saint Laurent – met in Venice in May 2006. They started dating shortly thereafter, but kept their relationship low key. In March 2007 they announced their engagement and Hayek's pregnancy.

Their daughter, Valentina Paloma Pinault, was born on September 21, 2007.

The couple broke their engagement in July 2008 but later reconciled and married on Valentine's Day, 2009 in Paris.

In the past Evangelista has denied Pinault was Augustin's father. A year after Augustin's birth, she claimed the boy's father was "a New York architect".

Pinault, 49, and Hayek, 44, too have refused to acknowledge the boy with Hayek claiming that Pinault has only three children - Valentina and two from his previous marriage.

Evangelista is reported to have filed the petition seeking child support after the couple failed to reach an out of court settlement. Pinault was a no show at the Manhattan Family Court on Thursday, but only because of a misunderstanding, claims his lawyer, David Aronson.

"We had understood that it was to be a brief, telephone conference," Mr Aronson said.

Under New York law, a father is required to pay 17 percent of his income for child support. According to Bloomberg Businessweek, Pinault's 2010 salary was $5.4 million.

Rachel Weisz New Face of Bulgari Jasmin Noir Fragrance


New bride Rachel Weisz has been picked as the face of Bulgari's new Jasmin Noir fragrance campaign.

The 41-year-old British model and actress married James Bond actor Daniel Craig on June 22 in a private ceremony in New York City after dating him for six months.

The new Bulgari campaign, which will release just in time for the holiday season, was lensed by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, 'who opted for a seductive and sophisticated boudoir-style aura,' reports WWD.

Rachel is a muse to fashion designer Narciso Rodriguez. She was named L'Oréal's global ambassador in 2010.

Earlier in the year, Kirsten Dunst had fronted the Bulgari campaign, also lensed by Mert and Marcus.

The 32-year-old Texan beauty looked in great shape in the body hugging dress with a cut out detail on neck.

She accessorized with golden metallic platforms and orange Hermes Kelly bag.

Her long, dark brown hair was styled in tousled waves with an off center parting.

The Ghost Whisperer star is poised for her feature film directorial debut this summer with the screen adaptation of a 1986 novel by Mary Downing Hahn - Wait Till Helen Comes: A Ghost Story.

She is also one of the co-producers of the film.

Hewitt is amidst the top contenders to play Deana Martin, daughter of Dean Martin, in the singer's biopic titled Memories Are Made of This. The film is based on Deana Martin's book Memories Are Made Of This: Dean Martin Through His Daughters Eyes. The film will be directed by actor Joe Mantegna, with screenplay written by actress/writer Bonnie Hunt.

Hewitt guest stars on Sitcom Hot in Cleveland, which premiered on June 16.

Jenn's Ink Celebrates a Seventies Vibe

On a day that found me unsuccessful with inkspotting the 5th Avenue Festival in Bay Ridge, Fate walked me past Jenn, sitting outside a laundromat a block away from my home.

She happily shared the work on her upper left arm:



These stunning colors encircled her biceps.


She said this piece, inked by Jared Stomber at Kustom Kulture Ink in Baldwin, New York, is an "ode to 1970's fashion". This is one area of interest to her that moves her artistically and she wanted to express it through body art.

Fictional character Rhoda Morgenstern (from The Mary Tyler Moore Show and spin off Rhoda) was among the cultural icons that inspired the design.




The inner part of Jenn's arm also features artwork that recalls the animated birds from the opening sequence of The Partridge Family.


Although her birds are much more elaborate.


Thanks to Jenn for sharing this amazing tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!
