Chery Cole's Twitter War!

Uhhhhhoh! Cheyl Cole is not a happy bunny this evening!! British gossip magazine Now! Today released a story that Cheryl Cole had a secret romance with Alesha Dixon's cheating ex M C Harvey. The So Solid Crew rapper - real name Michael Harvey Jr - fell for the Geordie singer, 28, in 2010 and wanted to make her Mrs Harvey.
'We've known each other for years. But then [after Cheryl split with Ashley] we started confiding in each other,' he explains. A lot of it was like: "We can't trust anyone out there, so we're just gonna trust each other."

'We're both from council estates - she's from one in Newcastle and I'm from one in London. We had a lot of common ground and she was just a f*cking nice girl. But it seems that Cheryl knows nothing of this relationship! She took to her twitter today to deniy anything happened!!
Just in case you had any doubts about Harvey’s romantic tale (that involved Cheryl trusting him with her deepest secrets after she was cheated on by her husband – despite the fact that he’d done exactly the same), the Geordie tweeted the rapper a sarcastic message this afternoon.

Laughing at Harvey’s claims in this morning’s Now magazine, Cheryl tweeted: “Was this "relationship" happening in your head @harveyofficial?! Are you smoking something?”

Threatening to show the world their ‘secret messages’, Harvey wrote: “Do you actually want me to tweet some of the messages you emailed me @cherylcole pipe down and stop playing the saint in front of your fans. “I had your back @cherylcole untill you sent that sh*t, dissapointed in you if the public seen these emails you would end up with egg on your face.
“And let's get this straight @cherylcole I don't need no hype of you! I'd rather go broke and work in sainsburys than talk about your personal sh*t.

"This is not a twitter beef I still have massive respect for @cherylcole but you shouldn't of tweeted that knowing we both have personal messages to eachother #silenceinthecourt."

OUCH!

Caroline Flack Has Ditched The Long Locks And Gone For A Crop!

Caroline Flack has gotten rid of her long luscious locks which all girls had envy over because of her amazing balayage .. sob! It brings a little tear to my eye, I have to admit I really don't like when celebs go for extreme cuts.
She felt it was time for a change and took a whole hair day to get her hair done. We here at Flutterby like it but still miss her stunning sun kissed look. On the upside at least we won't be as jealous now. What you do guys think?

Kim Kardashian is one clever cookie! She posted a picture of herself on her Twitter account showing her new hair. The stunner had dyed her luscious locks a shade lighter. She wanted us all to sit up and take notice of her and from this picture we definitely did because she took the picture in her underwear and your eye is drawn more to her cleavage than her hair!!

All about corals for spring swimwear'. Te next picture she posted say her in the same underwear but partially covering herself in a fluffy white dressing gown with the caption, 'Last shot of the day!

Kim Kardashian's Latest Project - Bible Study?!

So this girl has it all, the house, the cars, the family, the marriage, the divorce, the looks, the chain of shops, the hair, the money, her own perfume, I mean what more could she possibly want? Well bible study of course!
The curvy Kardashian took to Twitter to say "On my way to church with the girls! I want to start a bible study group with my friends!" We all know that her Christian values are very important to her. In her new show of Kourtney and Kim Take New York she says how she found it really hard to finish things with Kris because of her Christian values. "It's hard for me. He has a good heart, he's a Christian -- everything on paper I want in someone, but for some reason my heart isn't connecting." Who knows maybe this is her way of saying sorry to God?! Or maybe it's something else..

TOWIE; Love On The Rocks (Again!)


I am MAJORLY obsessed with “ The Only Way Is Essex”. Last night was should have been all about meetings the new cast members, so when I watched last night episode I was SHOCKED to see that James Argent and Lydia Rose Bright have broken up!!
Lydia and Arg are on the rocks! 
I don’t think anyone saw this coming; they hid it very well from the media! With the departure of Mark Wright I thought that Lydia and Arg would replace Mark and his on/off love Lauren Goodger as TOWIE’s top couple, instead once again they're on the rocks.
Lydia turned to Lauren with her relationship troubles!
Lydia was seeing talking to Lauren and told her “We always argue about the stupidest things. But every time I see him and my hearts crumbles and I love him so much. We've had this amazing experience, and amazing adventure together, but a second part of me is like can you really be this unhappy?”

Who knows maybe this time we will see them both move on! Well at least we know there’s more drama to come from this season!!

R&B singer Shy'm Wears Transparent Corset To Awards, Leaving Nothing To The Imagination!

Barely known outside her native France, R&B singer Shy'm certainly made an impression at the NRJ Awards. The 26-year old stunner arrived at the Palais des Festivals et des Congres in Cannes wearing a transparent plastic corset with white tinsel-like material interspersed to create a frosted effect! Not leaving anything to the imagination!
The rest of the 'outfit' consisted of a toga-like white sheet around her waist to form a skirt, creating a Grecian-style effect baring alot of leg in the process! This dress is certainly not for the faint hearted! So what do you think, too much or ultra stylish? We feel that it is stunning it  maybe just a tad bit too revealing!

Why Not Treat Yourselves And Get Your Valentines Make-up Done With Emma At Belle Facee!

Girls we all love our make-up especially here at Flutterby, we are forever checking out new products and news looks! Every girl loves a treat so why not treat yourself to some Valentines make-up applied by the professional and talented Emma Regazzoli
Emma of Italian decent opened up 'Belle Facee' last year after years of loving make-up and training. The name comes from her Italian background and has the meaning 'Beautiful Faces'. Emma believes that every woman no matter what age has a beautiful face... she is just helping you to perfect what's already there. Why would you not want someone like her to do you make-up with with such a lovely outlook.
Growing up Emma was one of those little girls that always 'borrowed' her mammies and grannies lipstick, she still is!!!! I constantly have to keep an extra eye on her.. sorry Emma! 


From her young age she remembers these words of wisdom from her beautiful peers, and I have seen both of these women and can vouch for that! 
'As my Granny always said, 'a little bit of powder and a little bit of paint, make a little maiden, what she really 'ain't!'...
Or another saying of mine which was drummed into me at 6 years old by Mum, ''pride feels no pain''
... These sayings have stuck with me over the years and now I can hear myself saying these words!'

So there you have it a bit about the wonderful lady herself! Now enough of me gushing about this lady why not check out some of her work, and why not treat yourself to some Valentines Make-up for a night out or in with your man or even enjoy the night out with your girlies! Either way have fun girls! 
Until next time, Flutterby x

Is Caroline Flack Dating TOWIE Star Joey Essex??

Caroline Flack and Harry Styles are only finished a matter of minutes and it looks like she has a replacement toyboy already!

The Daily Star reported this week that the Xtra Factor host was spotted at The National Television Awards getting close to TOWIE star Joey Essex just days after her and Harry broke up! Caroline and Joey were reported to be chatting throughout the night and swapped numbers!
Her relationship with Harry got some very bad press due to the 15 year age gap but that doesn't seem to faze Caroline as Joey is not much older than Harry! Well I suppose at least Joey, 21 is legal to drink!
I can see this upsetting many a girl so we shall keep you posted on this new love affair!

Did Harry Styles Dump Caroline Flack, The Singer Tells A Different Story!

I can safely say that half of the female population are smiling today as news of the slipt between loves young(ish) dream Caroline Flack and Harry Styles. Yesterday Harry confirmed on Twitter that the couple had in fact split.
A rare picture of the couple together
The One Direction singer was reported to be the one to call a day on the relationship fearing that it was getting too serious, but Harry decided to clear up any rumours as he took to Twitter, 'Please know I didn't 'dump' caroline. This was a mutual decision. She is one of the kindest, sweetest people I know. Please respect that.'

So girls there you go girls, Harry is all yours again! Personally we are not surprised that it ended, with the 17 year age gap they were eventually going to want different things, after all Harry was only 17!! But we hope both parties are doing ok!

Michael Bublé Has Never Written A Song Without The Help Of Marijuana

Michael Bublé is one talented man and now we have an insight into his world of music! The singer admits that he believes that marijuana has helped him pen his tunes. Marijuana is a Class B illegal drug that has a hallucinogenic effect and is definitely frowned upon.
But Michael says, 'Marijuana can be very useful in the studio. I never wrote a song without a bit of smoke. It helps create something good.'

His gorgeous wife doesn't agree with his liberal attitude. Model wife Luisana Lopilato, 24 has mad her feelings quiet clear, 'My wife hates the hash fumes' he tells The People. 'Each time we passed a coffee shop I took a deep breath while she was disgusted.'
So do you say each to their own or are you not impressed by the singers habit! One was or the other he does have amazing results!

Gary Barlow Wins Outstanding Contribution Award At The NTA's And It Is So Well Deserved!

It was a great night for Gary Barlow last night as he picked up award for the X-Factor as the Best Talent Show in The NTA's as well as winning the Outstanding Contribution Award.
Gary Picking up Award With Tulisa For Best Talent Show
We have a new found love for Gary Barlow this year as he is just plain gorgeous but now we have HUGE admiration for the singer as we had no idea how much he has done for charity, he was most definitely an unsung hero. Since Gary shot back into the spotlight as part of Take That he has worked tirelessly trying to raise money for causes such as The Princes Trust and Children In Need.

Mount Kilimanjaro team in 2009
Back in 2009 he got Cheryl Cole, Ben Shephard, Alesha Dixon, Kimberley Walsh, Fearne Cotton, Chris Moyles, Denise Van Outen and Ronan Keating to take part in a sponsored climb to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro. The same year he raised over £6 million after organising ‘Children In Need Rocks.’

Then in 2010 he appeared with Robbie Williams to perform their hit single 'Shame' at Twickenham Stadium in aid of Help for Heroes charity and in 2011 for his 40th birthday he held a concert called GB40 held in Shepard's Bush Empire with ALL profits going to charity! 
As if this was not enough the singer went on to do more for charity putting together a number of artists known as 'The Collective' to perform a cover of 'Teardrop' raising a whopping £26 million alongside the Children In Need Concert 2011.

So it was only fitting that last night Gary received the coveted award presented to him by fellow Kilimanjaro climber Chris Moyles.

Taking to the stage a very humble and gorgeous Gary Barlow accepted the award saying  few words,
 "If I could just thank three groups of people: All the people who work in the charities  - they get paid very little and they work 24/7. They are the unsung heroes. Secondly, all the artists. And last of all you guys out there, who always put your hands in your pockets. I know we always ask give, give, give but you always do so thank you everybody."
We have to say we had a tear in our eye when we say the man himself on stage, he is truely an inspiration.

Social Welfare Office Have Banned PJs For Interviews!

We see it everywhere these days, people heading out in their PJs. It used to be the odd time that people pop out to the shop in theirs and run and hope that no-one sees you but now people wear them ALL the time!
Well now a social welfare office in Dublin had erected a sign in its window stating that claimants that pyjamas are not appropriate clothing to wear for those attending interviews. Staff at the Damastown social welfare office said this type of attire will no longer be tolerated. Following a number of complaints from customers the decision was made that unless people are in proper daytime clothing they are not welcome.
Personally we can understand why you would go out day time in your pjs, it is unhygienic and plain wrong. So what do you think should it be banned?
