Vanessa Paradis, I just love. She’s the perfect blend of intense sultriness and untainted innocence. Now this is the kind of girl I would marry.

*For those who are not familiar, Vanessa Paradis is a very successful French singer, model and actress.

These two quite scare me at times, Kate and Vanessa. Are they like related or something?

Both have been in Chanel ads.

Faces of Chanel’s fragrances too.

Random shoots.

These are my favourites. Flawless, completely breathtaking.

And then of course. Ahem.

In the fifties and sixties, Brigitte Bardot was one of the most attractive and erotic women in the world. Known as BB by the press, she had her international breakthrough with the film Et Dieu… créa la femme . Throughout her career, Brigitte Bardot started in fifteen films, became actively involved in animal rights and belonged to one of the greatest actresses ever to appear at the Cannes Film Festival.

During her career, Brigitte Bardot lived mainly in Saint-Tropez, in contrast to most other film stars who preferred lying near Monte Carlo. Simply due to her presence, the sleepy fishing village of Saint-Tropez became an internationally watched town. Brigitte Bardot is widely regarded as the person who put Saint-Tropez on the map.

Saint-Tropez has for so long been the playground of princesses, pop stars, gold diggers and sugar daddies. Celebrities come and go, Diddy parties, Lagerfeld shoots, but still, thousands of celebrities combined can’t quite bring back the cheekiness, the elegance, the sexiness, and everything that Brigitte Bardot once was.

Moving on, really, nobody does Saint-Tropez better?

Eva Longoria in Saint-Tropez just before her wedding last month. Errr the gold bikini is a little over the top don’t you think?

Beyonce at Saint-Tropez summer 2007. Hmm not a fan, but love the gold necklace!

Penelope Cruz at Saint-Tropez last year. Close. Very close.

On a lighter note, guess who resides near the ever glamorous beach?

* A $2 million villa in a tiny village called Plan de La Tour near Saint-Tropez.

** Johnny Depp lives in the said villa with girlfriend Vanessa Paradis, daughter Lily Rose and son Jack.

“Rudo y Cursi,” is being shot on Mexico’s steamy Pacific coast and brings together a star-studded group that includes actors Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna, who will hit the screen together for the first time since “Y Tu Mama Tambien” in 2001.

A comedy-drama, “Rudo y Cursi” broadly translated as “Rough and Corny,” is a tale of love and hate between professional soccer-playing brothers played by Luna and Garcia Bernal.

Gael ripped off his shirt and performed a somersault after scoring a goal.

(Hmmm I can just eat this man alive.)

I’ll download, buy the DVDs, whatever it takes. Let’s watch before the year ends.

But.

See, although I can sleep better knowing that there are generous men out there who would want to pose shirtless for me, I just couldn’t help but wonder; why would you want anyone’s name planted above your ass? Unless you hate that person so much, so you’d feel like they are down there all the time. Or you love that person so much, so you’d feel like they are down there all the time.

Kids’ names are sweet. Have their names tattooed on your body isn’t.

Johnny Depp is an exception. Johnny Depp is forever sweet. Alas, Winona is not forever.

Everything was gorgeous, the pictures were stunning. I didn’t think any couple could get any hotter. I was wrong.

Introducing Mr and Mrs Beckham, now this is Domestic Bliss!

“The thing that makes Brad a great actor is that he’s a very genuine person,” Jolie says. “Anybody who’s met him would know that. You can read him, and you can feel that there’s something open and approachable and interesting. And he’s just very real. Whether cameras are rolling or not, he doesn’t change.” She adds, “He’s very solid. I think you know you can count on him.”

Even before they met, David says, he knew Victoria was the one for him. He recalls watching TV after a match with his Manchester United teammate Gary Neville late in 1996 when a Spice Girls video came on. Spotting Victoria in a catsuit, he was transfixed: “I turned around to Gary and said, ‘That one there, that’s the girl I’m going to marry.’ “

“I know that if a marriage doesn’t fit a certain idea, it’s looked upon as a failure,” Pitt says. He wanted to tell a darker, truer tale, one that explored the “unidentifiable malaise” that so often haunts a seemingly happy couple. “You don’t know what’s wrong,” he says, “because the marriage is everything you signed up for.”

“David and I got through it together,” Victoria says. “No one said marriage was going to be easy. Yes, there have been bumps along the road. But the fact is we’ve come out of everything we’ve been through stronger and happier. It’s even better now than when we were first married. After all these years, we can just come home and have a laugh together.”

Who rocks America now?

I’ve never been to a romantic wedding, geez I don’t even know what romance really is. So I continued reading. 

“The newly wedded couple walked into the hall, with background music, From The Moment On, by Shania Twain.” 

Seriously?  

If that could almost make me puke, I wonder, what won’t?  I tabbed my browser, typed ‘best wedding song’ in Google search bar and tada, I bloody found this. Now, if it was my wedding, what song would make me not hate the ceremony? Scrolling down,I saw a retro for those my age, when R&B ballads were hip you know.

Eric Benet feat Tamia – Spend My Life With You 

When I was younger, I kinda like the song. Well, not the song in particular, maybe it was my college boyfriend, maybe everything was nice and sweet back then, or maybe it was Eric Benet himself. I fancied him, we fancied him. Halle Berry is (was) a lucky girl. Got herself a fine sex-maniac husband, grabbed an Oscar – looking like the island of Zanzibar in an Elie Saab’s dress, and the girl’s been in movies with Hugh Jackman for God’s sake.  

Okay, Catwoman was unfortunate. 

Back to Eric Benet and the song, and the video I found at Youtube, can I just say this: Eric, I love you. But hell, I would trade you for a little piece of sizzling Gabriel Aubry too! Yes I would!
