British fashion designer Alexander McQueen has been found dead in his London apartment early yesterday morning according to news reports, he was just 40-years-old.
According to reports the police were called by London Paramedics to his apartment at around 10:20 a.m. after the body was discovered, according to some sources he was found hanging.
A statement was released saying “Alexander McQueen today announces the tragic news that Lee McQueen, the founder and designer of the Alexander McQueen brand has been found dead at his home, at this stage it is inappropriate to comment on this tragic news beyond saying that we are devastated and are sharing a sense of shock and grief with Lee’s family. Lee’s family has asked for privacy in order to come to terms with this terrible news and we hope the media will respect this.”
Just last week his mother, Joyce McQueen, passed away to which he went on his Twitter page (which is now deleted) to say “I’m letting my followers know the my mother passed away yesterday if it she had not me nor would you RIPmumxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. but life must go on.”
To make this even more sad, Alexander McQueen was due to show off his new collection during Paris Fashion Week next month. A true legend in the fashion industry, he will live on forever through his clothes.
We all know that Jordan is the epitome of classiness but she may have just outdone herself by wearing this costume for this years Halloween.
Jordan aka Katie Price decided to dress up as some kind of horny devil or something while her cross-dressing cage fighter boyfriend Alex Reid forgot to dress up and went out in one of his g-strings, fishnet top, a bra and pair of highheels with some kind of hat on top.
The pair and some of their friends went to the fourth annual BloodLust charity ball for the night, they were joined by these fellow classy people:
(L-R) Emma B went as a vampire, Alicia Douvall as a ghost from the French Revolution, hostess Hofit Golan wore a tiny pink outfit, while socialite Henry Conway was a vampire.
On the other side of town was the Harry Potter cast who went to a bary named Harry’s Bar in Mayfair, their costumes went like this – Rupert Grint dressed up as Alex DeLarge from A Clockwork Orange, Ton Felton as a Ghostbuster, with his girlfriend Jade Olivia looking like a sexy Cruella De Vil and as for the main man himself Daniel Radcliffe .. he carried his costume in a bag thinking nobody would see it but then this picture has popped up.

Paris Hilton really will do anything to try and keep herself relevant these days wont she? Today the the airhead obviously forgot that London gets pretty damn cold in the winter time because she went out in a sleeveless top and no bra - showing off her nippy niples to anybody who was around.
Paris who is in London to promote the UK version of that show she did when she is looking for a best friend, managed to find herself some press earlier this week when she latched onto Lady GaGa , obviously that friendship last a whole five minutes.
To make me loathe her even more, Paris still goes on like she did about 4 years ago by pretending to be a dumb bitch. When she was asked who the British Prime Minister is she said “Yes, it’s Gordon Ramsay, isn’t it?” Mixing the Hells Kitchen chef up with the actual Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
Will someone please give this girl a brain transplant or just put her out of her misery, I don’t believe for one second she actually thought Gordon Ramsay was the British Prime Minister, she has probably eaten in Ramsay’s restaurants many times.

But then again, I am just giving into Paris Hilton trying to make herself relevant by writing about her stupidity and pointing out she likes to show her frosty nipples off in the freezing cold weather.
Chinese press and bloggers have been less than favorable about London’s contribution to Beijing’s Olympic closing ceremony – criticizing contributions from the London Mayor Boris Johnson and David Beckham.
As the torch was put out in the “Bird’s Nest” stadium, one blogger described Mr Johnson as “arrogant, rude and disrespectful” when he accepted the Olympic flag. There were mixed opinions too about the eight-minute cameo performance featuring a London bus, Beckham, the singer Leona Lewis, Led Zeppelin’s guitarist Jimmy Page, dancers and singers.
The Titan Sports Daily contrasted the “neatness” of the Chinese performers with the “outrageous outfits” worn by the Britons. Unlike the Chinese custom which tends not to reveal their weakness to the outsiders, “the British seem to like to laugh about their stupidity in a funny way”, it said.
“During the performance, when the London bus pulled over, all the passengers waiting for the bus rushed into the door at the same time, which truly damaged the British image,” it added.
In the run-up to the Games, Beijing officials had run a campaign to “civilize” the city’s inhabitants, teaching them of the importance of queuing in Western culture.
It also complained that Lewis and Page were not A-list celebrities. “Unfortunately, the singer and Jimmy Page are absolutely not famous enough to be known or recognized by millions of the Chinese audiences. As for David Beckham, he was supposed to kick the football towards the red circle in the center of the ‘Bird’s Nest’. In the end, just like any of his penalties at a football match, he totally missed it. He kicked the ball to the left and dropped in the crowd, then was picked up by a lucky Chinese volunteer who would not let go of the ball.”
The Daily First praised the use of a red London bus, but questioned whether the performance had anything to do with sport or the Olympic Games. Mr Johnson was also criticized for accepting the Olympic flag with one hand only.
