A little while back, while browsing through the Brit Newspapers (so you don’t have to), I saw mention of one Shilpa Shetty, who was in trouble for some reason a few years ago, but now is no longer — never mind the details, they are completely irrelevant and eminently forgettable.
However, Miss Shetty certainly isn’t:
Not being au courant with the goings-on in Hollywood let alone Bollywood, I have no idea who she is or what she’s done, but she’s definitely worth a look.
…that would be Francesca Eastwood, Clinty’s daughter:
Same girl, different life stages.
Coleen Rooney (wife of former England and Manchester United footballer Wayne Rooney)
Anna Chancellor
Claudia Winkleman
Of course, it’s all about personal taste, so feel free to add your oddities in Comments.
I know that most if not all my Readers are interested in the shenanigans of the BritRoyals, but that’s the flimsy excuse I’ve used for showing the following totty:
You see, her name is Cressida Wentworth-Stanley (née Bonas), and at one time she was the girlfriend of Prince Harry, a.k.a. the Duke of Sussex, a.k.a. Harry Markle, a.k.a. the Ginger Whinger. However, although he was reportedly quite smitten with Cressida, she was somewhat frowned upon by the Palace because she was an… actress.
So they split up, and you know the resultant mess.
I think young Cressy had a lucky escape. She later married another guy named Harry, who has no title but is the son of a marchioness and is also related to a marquess via his mother’s second marriage. Anyway, he has a hyphenated name, which takes care of half the issue for a young Brit girl with aspirations.
Should I explain the middle bit, again?
We haven’t done one of these for a while, so from my archives, feast your eyes on some of the lesser-known beauties of yore:
Patricia Morison
Lisa Gay
Corinne Calvet
Ruth Roman
Evelyn Nesbit
Odette Lara
Hildegard Knef
…and the original Bond Girl, Lilian
And just for the heck of it, something a little more daring from Miss Bond:
Woof.
The other day I was browsing through a report of some celebrity event (so that y’all don’t have to), said event being a country music award thing, featuring 50+ popsy Connie Britton (invited, no doubt, because she once played a country singing star on TV).
Well, says, I, nothing wrong with having a look at Connie, even though she’s a tiresome old Lefty, because I loved her in Friday Night Lights :
Yup, it’s all still there.
However, in scrolling down the page past a few country musicians I’d never heard of before (no surprise as I’m by no means a fan of the genre) I came upon one Hannah Dasher, and my ears suddenly pricked up, because:
Yup, I know she’s a big ol’ gal, but as any fule kno, that’s my particular weak spot.
So on to her music. Here’s You’re Gonna Love Me…
…and by golly, I do.
Afterthought: yes, she reminds me of her too, only in brunette.
