Victoria Beckham's new haircut

I'm feeling pissed off today, though probably not nearly as pissed off as the thousands of people stuck at some or other airport, or those who've had their flights cancelled due to the latest terrorist threat.

Robert and I are due to travel to New York for a few days this month, among other things to visit with close friends who cannot make our wedding, and now this happens. It upsets me because more than it being inconvenient, it's worrying. It scares me to think that there are some stupid fucks out there who board a flight with every intention of killing everyone on board - including themselves. Like I wasn't already afraid of flying, now I have this to worry about.

I guess we can be relieved they managed to stop it from happening - we hope. Right now they are saying no hand luggage at all. Does that include handbags? Robert tells me it does. And what if you chuck your purse, keys, and everything else into your check-in bags, and they lose them? I don't even want to think about it.

What about tampax? Robert tells me apparently you can take that along in a clear plastic bag. Gee, great. In the old days when my grandparents traveled, they actually had clothes made or bought for a flight /cruise - people dressed up back then. I still like to wear something relatively smart when I fly, but without the ability to refresh my makeup, why bother? Anyway, I know there are more important things in life than whether or not you can reapply lipstick at 30 000 feet, or be able to disguise your tampax in a suitably attractive handbag, but I'm not running for office dammit, I'm just a woman who wants to travel safely to New York with her fiancé, and likes to be presentable.

In other news:

Looks like we may be getting a glimpse of baby Suri. Reports have it that Annie Leibovitz (my favourite celeb snapper) is shooting pics of the little one, and they will appear in Vanity Fair magazine this autumn. Most babies look like scrunched-up little old men when they are born, so maybe it's a smart plan on their part to have waited. I'm sure their little girl (wow, perhaps she does exist!) is going to be very cute, though I sincerely doubt she will be as beautiful as the most beautiful celeb baby ever - Junior Andre (Katie Price and Peter Andre's baby).

Britney Spears reveals she has in fact lost it completely, and according to In Touch Weekly magazine, has given Feders a black Amex card with no limit. According to the mag it's “to prove how much she trusts him.”

I can think of a hell of a lot of other ways you can show the world you are happily married and trust your partner, other than committing financial suicide. Like, why not pose in innumerable severely airbrushed pictures on the cover of OK! magazine? If it's good enough for the Beckhams ... .

And on the subject of Victoria Beckham, she revealed a new hair do this week, and I have to say, I like it. Its modern and edgy, and its probably giving her scalp a well-deserved break from all those horrid extensions. Not to be bitchy or anything (who, moi?) but her skin looks kind of weird in the above image - almost painted. Is she taking to airburshing her skin with makeup now?
