Remember the days when the self-styled queen of Burlesque, Dita Von Tease, would leave no stone unturned in an effort to shock, appall and raise eyebrows? Well, now it appears the 36 year old ex girlfriend of the equally outrageous fashion freak, Marilyn Manson, has finally grown up.

Resembling Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz, in her little checked, knee-length dress, and having dumped her husband Manson who more resembled Count Dracula than a human being, Dita was spotted this week at a Paris airport with a real Count, Count Louis Marie de Castelbajac, the son of fashion designer Jean-Charles de Castelbajac.
Prior to the airport sighting, the singer and count couple, who have an eleven year age difference between them (with Louis being only 25), also attended the Coachella Music Festival recently.
Dita was married to rocker Marilyn Manson in 2005 but she filed for divorce a year later.
She said at the time: ”I wasn’t supportive of his partying or his relationship with another girl. As much as I loved him I wasn’t going to be part of that.”

Yet another young lady who has grown and changed before our very eyes is the 19 year old star of the Harry Potter movies, Emma Watson. From the gangly little Hermione Granger who attended Hogwarts, Emma has now become a regular at international fashion shows and has now become the featured face of Burberry’s latest major advertising campaign. It is predicted the prestigious contract will boost her estimated £8 million fortune by six figures.
Burberry’s creative director Christopher Bailey told The Evening Standard: ”Having known and admired the lovely Emma Watson for quite some time, she was the obvious choice for this campaign.”

But if you’re looking for anything less glamorous, unpolished and resembling mutton dressed as lamb, look no further than any international airport between Los Angeles, Milan and Heathrow and that’s where you’re sure to find Victoria Beckham.

Having utilized just about every fashion, colour, design and disaster during her days in the public eye, it seems that Posh Spice is running out of ideas to catch the pap’s attention, so now she’s going for…..slut!
The former Spice Girl was spotted in London after arriving from a much warmer L.A., in a pair of tiny denim cut-off hot pants, Daisy Duke style, and realizing the English weather was a few degrees lower than L.A. she rapidly switched to a warmer pair of ripped black denim jeans which merely served to accentuate the skinny frame of the wife of A.C. Milan footballer, David Beckham.
Vicky, 35, had teamed up the stressed black jeans with a faux fur jacket and Christian Louboutin heels and was carrying one of her trademark Chanel handbags, the cost of which could clear the national debt.
The 35-year-old is back in London to support her husband David Beckham as he picks up his 112th England Cup when the team plays Andorra at Wembley Stadium on Wednesday.
Never knowing exactly where she’s going to be from one day’s end to the next, Posh arrives with jeans and shorts but she’s now hoping that with David returning to L.A. Galaxy on July 11th to continue his $250million contract, she’ll at least know what she’ll be wearing each day.
Spending so much time apart has proved a problem to Posh in more ways than just fashion, and when David was asked about the problem he revealed, ”This is what I have to do to stay in the England team. It was my idea to try to go on loan somewhere and in my head I thought A.C. Milan. Of course, it’s hard when a husband is on the other side of the world playing football. Victoria knows me and why I wanted to do it. (so do we!!!!) She protested, but we’re grown up enough and we’ve been married for 10 years this July.”
Maybe David should point out that at 35 his wife should have out-grown tiny denim shorts!
