Queen brow Hollywood stars returned to its roots Hall Open

of the World," as she is known in Hollywood.

Two decades after she arrived in the U.S., Soare is living the American dream. This week she came home to share a bit of that dream with Romanians — opening her first European salon in Bucharest.

She has an empire of 800 outlets in the U.S. and 600 overseas, including brow salons in Japan, Thailand and Hong Kong. Perhaps the biggest measure of her stardom: she's been on the Oprah Winfrey show.

Soare's interest in brows is in fact a passion for the living architecture of the face — plus a talent for spotting and exploiting a niche in the lucrative beauty business.

The petite Romanian with flowing caramel locks grew up in the Black Sea port of Constanta during the grim communist era. The daughter of tailors, Soare left in the dying months of Nicolae Ceausescu's regime to join her then husband, a ship captain, who had defected to the West about three years earlier.

life under communism, we did not have the ethnic diversity that I experienced in America then, "she said on Monday. Her first celebrity client was the 1980s supermodel, Cindy Crawford. Naomi Campbell has entrusted his brows Soare's skilled hands for the past 18 years.

When a reporter sad the fact that he does not have the sweeping brows of Romanian woman, he explains that this is due to the width of the brow bone. Romanians tend to have wider bones of the forehead, while the women of northern European origin tend to have narrow faces and therefore shorter brows.
Signed magazine covers and pictures adorn the newly opened salon in Bucharest's luxury Radisson hotel. Madonna and her entourage stayed there during his sticky and Sweet tour in 2009.
Clients Winfrey, Claudia Schiffer, Jade Pinkett, a smiling Heidi Klum, Catherine Deneuve, and even a man with inch-thick bushy brows, gaze down to the client.

Madonna expresses her masculine side in tailored power suit and shirt at designer launch party

She made the power suit famous in the eighties in her Express Yourself video.

And now it seems Madonna is determined to bring the trend back, as she was spotted wearing a masculine tailored suit and shirt in London last night.

The 51-year-old singer arrived at a launch party for fashion designer Diane Von Furstenberg at Claridge's Hotel wearing the outfit, which she teamed with a black fedora hat and black belt, which drew attention to her tiny waist.

But it wasn't only her Express Yourself suit that sparked hundreds of copies.

The singer has been hailed as a fashion icon for the majority of her career, although she admits she did make some style errors in the eighties.

Describing her most embarrassing outfit in a recent interview, she said: 'It was the purple lipstick, fluorescent-green sweater combo.

'It’s OK, it was the eighties. It was a bad-hairstyle era. Let’s face it!'

Other stars to attend the prestigious event last night included Victoria Beckham, Joan Collins and Gwyneth Paltrow.

Paltrow's appearance at the party suggests reports of a cooling in her friendship with Madonna are no longer true.

There were claims earlier this month that the pair had stopped speaking after a series of fall outs, which left Madonna out in the cold by her former best friend.

'They don't speak,' Us Weekly magazine quoted a source as saying. 'I can't tell you exactly why they had the falling out.'

However, both Gwyneth and Madonna looked happy and relaxed as they left Claridge's after the party last night - suggesting they have put their issues behind them.

Madonna casts Fox family for Wallis Simpson film

Madonna has cast James Fox and his son Laurence Fox in her film about Edward VIII's wife, Wallis Simpson.

The film, titled W.E, began shooting on Monday. Madonna has co-written the movie, which she is also directing.

James Fox will play King George V, while Laurence Fox has been cast as his son Bertie, Edward's younger brother.

Australian actress Abbie Cornish will play a modern-day New Yorker, who becomes obsessed with King Edward's decision to abdicate for his lover.

Andrea Riseborough, best known for playing former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in BBC drama The Long Walk to Finchley, will play Simpson.

James D'Arcy, who starred in ITV2 opposite Billie Piper in Secret Diary of a Call Girl, has been cast as Edward VIII.

W.E is Madonna's directorial debut on a feature-length movie. She previously directed a short film, Filth and Wisdom, which premiered in Berlin in 2008.

British film critics slated the London-based drama, with the Guardian's Peter Bradshaw calling it "dumb and tacky".

Madonna warned over staff party

Madonna has received an official warning from council officers after staff at her London home upset neighbours by staging a noisy party.

Nearby residents complained as loud music and singing ruined what should have been a peaceful Sunday afternoon near the Queen of Pop's Marylebone property.

But it would appear that Madonna was not to blame. While employees of the Material Girl were getting into the groove in London, the singer herself was out of the country.

As the property's listed owner, Madonna was nonetheless issued with a noise abatement order. The 51-year-old singer was warned that any further offence could land her with a £5,000 fine.

Westminster City Council were called shortly before 2pm on June 27 following a complaint.

Arriving around 30 minutes later, officials deemed the singing and music coming from inside the house to be so loud that it constituted "statutory nuisance".

Noise officers managed to contact the partygoers via the entryphone, at which point it was discovered that the property's owner, Madonna, was not present.

A noise abatement notice was served on the revellers by posting it through the letterbox, after which the music stopped. A further notice addressed to the owner was handed to staff in person the following day.

Westminster City Council said the case is unlikely to go to court, but warned that any further offences could see Madonna summoned to appear before magistrates.

Councillor Ed Argar, cabinet member for city management, said: "If people want to hold a party, regardless of the time of day or night, they need to show some common courtesy to their neighbours, who should not have to pay the price for others' selfish behaviour."

Madonna - Sticky & Sweet Tour

Madonna has reached a career apex where she’s not so much a longstanding artist, but a living legend. This doesn’t guarantee an all-out commercial takeover for each project she releases, but it does speak to the sheer quality of her body of work: the product sells itself without flashy marketing.
Madonna The Sticky & Sweet Tour comprises three hours (two on DVD, one on CD) from a 2008 Buenos Aires concert. The CD component is a given pleaser for longtime fans. It’s the DVD, however, that’s the universal draw. Spanning the breadth of her musical output from 1983’s “Borderline” through 2008’s “4 Minutes,” the show accomplishes a remarkable feat not only in its ability to survey an exciting array of music genres — but also in the infinite spectacle of stage antics, choreography, and fashions that have made M such a long-lasting force. At the same time, the foundation is planted firmly in distinctively contemporary, highly enduring technique.
Indeed, very few artists these days have the luxury to produce a live show of such massive proportions. Over the course of two full, uninterrupted hours comes an abundance of grandiose sets and effects; a voluminous line-up of dancers; precisely engineered sound and sequence; and sharply produced, celebrity-studded video clips.
When M opens the show with “Candy Shop” seated on a throne that’s perched atop a silver stairway, one might be inclined to think the Queen of Pop has bitten off more than she can chew. Certainly, the first few notes out of her robust 5’4” frame sound shaky and timid. Yet, as the determined audience’s cheers mesh with the spectacle of candy-colored lights, she wastes no time picking up momentum. Once she reaches Destination: Center Stage, the “Sweet Machine” can run full-throttle, with agile dance moves and spirited interplay churning out plentiful helpings of sticky rhythm and grooves.
“Vogue 2008” sets the 1990 classic to the Timbaland production of “4 Minutes,” transforming it from a house-driven workout to a minimalist, hip-pop jam. Followed contrastingly by a retrofied update of “Into the Groove,” the scene changes from mechanical futurism to a vibrant, Keith Haring-designed backdrop — over which the 50-years-young performer seamlessly twists and writhes around moving fixtures before double-dutch jumproping in time to the song’s breakdown.
During the second half of the concert, La M delves into her ballad side — as well as her flair for international influences — more smoothly than usual. Where past tours saw her make a strained effort to be serious with slower songs, Sticky & Sweet finds her in a much more becoming, relaxed mode as she delivers the plaintive “Devil Wouldn’t Recognize You” and “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina,” on which she’s joined by several acoustic guitarists, an accordion player, and violinist. Meanwhile, the entire dance troupe is flanked by traditional folk musicians on a festive, multiculti update of the originally understated “La Isla Bonita.”
Only a couple disappointing moments surface in the show, as far as musical arrangements are concerned. The faux Grunge-rock interpretation of “Borderline” strips the tune of its uncomplicated beauty and replaces it with a monotonous drivel of guitars, to which M adds one of several jarring, random screams of “Motherfucker!” Elsewhere, her '90s proclamation of self-assurance, “Human Nature,” is given a talkbox-driven funk treatment. This itself isn’t such a bad idea; but its placement in the show is noticeably anti-climactic, and the vocal delivery is feeble.
The confident lyrics and engaging musical structure of “Heartbeat” and “She’s Not Me,” both from the Hard Candy album, best encapsulate the energetic flavor of the experience. As M aggressively interacts with a handful of clones adorning the stage, the latter number’s message that “She doesn’t have my name, she’ll never have what I have,” truly comes to life.
30 minutes of behind-the-scenes footage from the tour is also included. This is more in-depth than similar video found on The Confessions Tour DVD. Still, its lack of in-depth scenes from any single aspect of the experience leaves a feeling of detachment. Unquestionably, it’s Madonna and company’s actual show — the entire spectacle of song, dance, style, and attitude — that make the Sticky & Sweet Tour an invigorating and highly memorable happening.
