Kelly with her good friend Gerry Butler at the premier of The Ugly Truth on Tuesday the 4th of August

My friend Gerry Butler invited me to his UK film premier in London this week.  It’s not every day your old pal becomes a huge movie star and so off I went to Leicester square to see The Ugly Truth. The place was like a circus. A huge stage and screen were set up outside the cinema with Scott Mills introducing Katherine Heigle and Gerry. Thousands of people and tons of press lined up to catch a glimpse of the stars. As I fought my way through the crowds and heavy security I caught Gerry’s eye on the red carpet and he gave me a big smakeroonie on the lips. That was worth the 5-hour train journey alone!
The film is laugh out loud funny. Gerry plays an obnoxious, smug TV presenter and Katherine plays an uptight TV producer. It’s a Rom Com in the There’s Something About Mary vein. I loved it.

At the after party at The Dorchester I bumped into singers Sharleen Spiteri and Dot Alison who are also friends of Gerry’s from the old days in Glasgow. We partied on into the early hours with Kelly Brook and a cool new band called Vagabond. Check them out at King Tuts this Wednesday. They’re hot!
 

Greetings, Styles Saloners, from L.A.

I'm in La La Land on a shoot for a charity project called Safe which is raising awareness and funds to stop human traffiking. We are photographing A list actresses in thier safe places. My friend, Nick Haddow along with actress Emma Thompson came up with the idea after meeting Helen Bamber who is an amazing lady who helps people without a voice. Click on thehelenbamberfoundation.org for more information. The project is supported by Working Title Films and Chanel. I had to stop off in New York on the way to LA to choose the clothes! It's a hard job but someones got to do it.

Photographer Nick is a Glasgow boy with a great sense of humour. We're photographing Demi Moore with her 4 doggies in her fabulous glass tree house and hanging out in Sharon Stones back yard with her kids and we just look at each other and laugh. I suppose you all want to know what they were like? Well, let me tell you - they didn't dissapoint.

These women are quite amazing. They look nice when you first meet them. No make up. Beautiful skin and very, very slim.  But then when the expert hair and make up is applied, they slip on the Chanel and get infront of the camera, they transform. They know exactly how to pose, where the light should be, what thier best side is. The camera loves them and they come alive in front of it. You know why they get the big bucks. It was fantastic. Oh and thier houses ain't bad either.

That's the work, the play has been a bit of a bind too.  Chateau Marmont for dinner with my friends dj Lisa I'Anson and husband Amos who was in Culture Club with Boy George. They have set up an amazing website called Talenthouse.com. It's a platform for all types of artists to network and promote.  I went to the launch party the other night in a Bel Air mansion. It was very glam. Very LA. Amos is a bit of an advertising genius and he is very excited about his new venture. I'm showing him style-salon at the weekend to see what he thinks of our girly site.

My friend Normandie Kieth threw a pool party the other day. Nick and my LA pals from the 80s Marcy and Donya went along. I couldn't believe it. Every girl that walked in was better looking than the last. They were all cool, funny and sexy and I'm thinking you don't get this scene down at Greens pool in Finnieston! Then I found out I was hanging out with the ex WaGs of Puff Daddy or is it P Diddy, George Clooney and Gary  Oldman.  Only in L.A!
