Red-Nosed Celebs Climb Mount Kilimanjaro For Charity

Cheryl Cole, Denise Van Outen, Alesha Dixon, Ben Shepherd, Chris Moyles, Gary Barlow, Kimberley Walsh, Fearne Cotton and Ronan Keating have begun the trek to reach the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa.

It is 19,300 feet high and will take them 8 days to complete the trek.

The aim is to raise money for Comic Relief’s Red Nose Day – this money will go towards charity projects in the UK and Africa that will provide treatment for the prevention of disease, mental health support, maternal programmes and much more. If you want to sponsor them and help donate money to the Comic Relief effort go to www.rednoseday.com

They were let loose on the mountain today in high spirits. Apparently Cheryl Cole and Kimberley Walsh don’t ‘do’ camping!! How are they going to fare and who will crack up first?

Over the coming days look out for updates and check their progress. For today we’ll zero in on Ronan Keating, talented solo-artist and member of Boyzone, and see if he has what it takes to survive this challenge. Continue reading Red-Nosed Celebs Climb Mount Kilimanjaro For Charity

Jade Goody Marries Jack Tweed

Tomorrow Jade Goody will marry her fiance Jack Tweed. But unlike most weddings, which are a joyous occasion, this one is filled with a poignant sadness as she is terminally ill with cancer.

She is hoping to have the strength to walk down the aisle, but may have to postpone the evening’s entertainment if it all becomes too much. Even the Justice Department have stepped in to allow Jack Tweedy, newly out of jail, to stay with her on their wedding night. Jade has put on a brave face as photos of her getting ready for the wedding and choosing her ring reveal her smiling and looking relaxed. Brief moments of happiness, in the midst of her suffering. Continue reading Jade Goody Marries Jack Tweed

Russell Brand – From Bad To Good To Outrageous!

Although Russell Brand may have grown up in Essex, UK,  there is nothing suburban or even remotely humdrum about him. From a child lacking in a sense of identity he now has a unique stage presence. He has been through his own fair share of trials and battles, which mainly stemmed from the difficulties he encountered when growing up.

Russell’s most recent outrage involved leaving a message on the answerphone of Andrew Sachs (of Manuel and Faulty Towers fame), in which he claimed to have slept with his grand daughter Georgina Baillie, a burlesque dancer and member of the dance group Satanic Sluts. He resigned from the BBC as a result. Continue reading Russell Brand – From Bad To Good To Outrageous!

Jennifer Aniston – Rings & Things!

Today is Jennifer Aniston’s birthday – and she’s celebrating the big 4-0. Rumour has it that John Mayer is going to surprise her with an engagement ring – perhaps tonight or maybe on the 14th. Is it going to happen – will she finally settle down at last? Or is it just a dream?

There have been twitterings of a visit to a diamond store! So let’s take a look at the astrology. We will home in on a couple of areas in Jennifer’s natal chart – her fifth house – the one linked with love and romance, and the seventh associated with contractual arrangements such as marriage. Continue reading Jennifer Aniston – Rings & Things!

Justin Timberlake – Happy Birthday!

Justin Timberlake, singer, songwriter, record producer, dancer and actor is 28 today – born in Memphis,, Tenessee on January 31 1981. He’s an Aquarian with his Moon in Sagittarius conjunct Neptune. Justin has his own unique way of doing things and loves to joke around.

Last year he confessed that he suffers from OCD – that is obsessive compulsive disorder and ADD – attention deficit disorder – which must be quite hard to deal with on a day to day basis. Continue reading Justin Timberlake – Happy Birthday!

Prince Harry Splits With Chelsy Davy

This is interesting, coming as it is on the eve of a Solar Eclipse in Aquarius. The Eclipse conjuncts Chelsy’s Jupiter in Aquarius. She is on the verge of her Jupiter return, so maybe she wants to expand her options. This event has been coming on for some time. Perhaps as Mercury is currently retrograde, there may be a few different stories going around about why they have come to this. Maybe they will change their minds further down the line – maybe not. They have been very ‘on and off’ for a long time. Continue reading Prince Harry Splits With Chelsy Davy

Anne Hathaway Nominated For Oscar

Anne Hathaway is ecstatic to be in the running for an Oscar.  She  was nominated for best actress for her part in Rachel Getting Married, in which she played the part of Kym, a recovering drug addict, who comes out of rehab to attend the wedding of her sister Rachel. In the Oscar stakes Anne is equal favourite with Kate Winslet and slightly ahead of Meryl Streep and Angelina Jolie – according to the bookies.

Her chart has a particularly powerful focus on the sign of Scorpio – but no known time. Her Moon is in Libra, and she also has a major conjunction between Pluto and Saturn - again in Libra. Continue reading Anne Hathaway Nominated For Oscar

Barack Obama’s Crystal Chart

I have been meaning to explore the idea of crystal astrology for some while – and Barack Obama’s chart seemed a great place to begin. The reason for this is that I find it helpful to look at a chart from a number of different perspectives. For me anything that acts as an additional portal to another order of information is very welcome. This is the reason why I like to bring client dreams into astrological interpretations.

The idea is that a crystal is allocated to each of the 360 degrees of the zodiac. The information needed to create your own crystal chart can be found in Marina Costelloe’s book ‘Crystal Astrology’. For each degree she gives a number of  associations including the Sabian symbol - but for this post I will focus on the crystal and its expression alone. Continue reading Barack Obama’s Crystal Chart

Paul Burrell – A Time Of Peace And Plenty

Studying Paul Burrell’s chart, (no known time), I began thinking about which aspects and planetary placements might coincide with being a butler or a courtier in a Royal household. A deeper look enabled me to realise that in his case his success was largely due to his mercurial abilities.

The Merriam Webster dictionary defines this as having qualities of eloquence and ingenuity combined with a certain sleight of hand.  Paul has such qualities in copious amounts – and these have enabled him to rise through the ranks, starting as footman to Queen Elizabeth II, becoming personal butler to Diana, Princess of Wales, and finally ending up as a celebrity and media personality in his own right.

Kate Winslet Wins Two Golden Globes

British actress Kate Winslet has all the hallmarks of a Libra with a dash of spice for good measure. She came away from the 2009 Golden Globe Awards with two Golden Globes. One for best actress in the film Revolutionary Road which was diected by her husband Sam Mendes. The second for best supporting actress in The Reader. She surpassed a number of Hollywood’s most famous including Meryl Streep, Angelina Jolie, Ann Hathaway and Kristin Scott Thomas.

She had a history (as she says) of not winning anything, having been nominated many times before. Her breathless speech left no doubt about how excited she was to have finally triumphed. Continue reading Kate Winslet Wins Two Golden Globes
