If Sandra Bullock likes to be in control, Victoria Beckham is much worse: she describes herself as a complete control freak.
“I don’t mind making mistakes,” she said. “I just can’t live with anyone else’s mistakes.
“I’m a complete control freak. I’m not the easiest person to work with because I’m so passionate and being a working mum, it’s a balancing act.”
Beckham — who successfully swapped singing for a career in clothing — also opened up about her first ever fashion show, which left her feeling incredibly nervous.
“I felt beyond vulnerable,” she said. “I’d never known nerves like it in my life. The night before, I got nodules in my throat.”

Lady GaGa recently declared that developing her own individual look helped her feel liberated.(Liberated from what?)
Even if she admires Jennifer Aniston, she finds her quite boring. Lady Gaga admits Jennifer is beautiful but declared that she prefers to look interesting rather than pretty.
“Fashion saved my life,” she told Canada’s Flare magazine. “It was complete liberation… it made me feel powerful, ambitious and much more resilient.”
We all need an image that screams, ‘I’m an individual!’ I think Jennifer Aniston is beautiful – she’s gorgeous – but I prefer to look interesting rather than pretty.

Internationally renowned band, Green Day has commissioned 21 original pieces of art inspired by music from the band’s most recent album release, 21st Century Breakdown.
The paintings will be shown exclusively at the StolenSpace Gallery in Shoreditch, East London from 22nd of October until 1st of November to coincide with Green Day’s sold out UK concert tour and opening the day before the band’s two sold-out performances at the O2 Arena in London.
The band, who have sold over 60 million albums world-wide, feel that art and music share a common bond. “We’re really excited to be associated with this incredible show,” Green Day front-man Billie Joe Armstrong said. “Seeing the pieces that our new album has inspired is very exciting. We feel a strong connection to that type of creative expression; we think the fans coming out will love it.”
The show’s curator, artist, Logan Hicks, said that the gallery will feature contributions from an international pool of artisans, such as world renowned New York-based painter Ron English, Amsterdam-based street artists The London Police, French stencil artist C215, British illustrator Will Barras along with artists Eelus, Chris Stain, Sixten, Adam 5100 and more. Each of the collaborating artists were each sent through a lyric sheet and asked to produce a piece of art that reflected that song, to highlight the connection between music and art.
“I chose artists whom I felt had a similar visual approach to art as Green Day does to its music,” said Hicks, a stencil artist and die-hard punk-rock fan, whose portraits of band members Billie Joe Armstrong, Tre Cool, and Mike Dirnt will also be on display. “Although most of the artists represented are well-established in their careers, they embrace the same emotional rawness with their art, which speaks from the heart and swings with the fist.
“Their subject matter is struggle and injustice — they shoot from the hip and their art is their weapon.”A number of the participating artists were featured with Hicks in Banksy’s “Cans Festival” which took place last year in an abandoned taxi tunnel behind Waterloo Station and attracted over 120,000 people on opening weekend.
