Believe it or not it, it has been ten years since the passing of Princess Diana. And to commemorate her memory, her sons organized a concert that took place over the summer. Additionally, both William and Harry spoke at a memorial service for their late mother held today. Prince Harry had this to say about Diana.

“To us, two loving children, she was quite simply the best mother in the world. But we would say that, wouldn’t we?”

Other dignitaries were also present, intermingled with celebrities such as Bryan Adams and Elton John, at the hour-long service, which took place at Guards Chapel. Um, I think that I’ve reached my quota of jokes in poor taste for the day, so I’m going to just end this right here, with some grace and dignity. There.

The pint-sized British actress can often be found these days, stumbling into walls and being led around by friends after a long night of bar-hopping. Those close to her fear that her partying has reached a new level, due to the influence of her friend and current houseguest, Rhys Ifans. Friends of Sienna’s believe that Miller is attempting to keep up with the wild Ifans, and that she’s running herself ragged. It also doesn’t help that Sienna is currently feeling as if co-star, Keira Knightley, who appears to be eclipsing Sienna in their upcoming film together, “The Edge of Love,” which Keira’s mother wrote with her daughter in mind.

“They are good friends but she feels Keira’s star is rising while she is not getting the same glory and not being offered the same high-profile parts.

“She has been going out on the town a lot as a result but it is beginning to take its toll, particularly as she feels she has to keep up with Rhys, who is a notorious party animal.”

That’s the way to get an Oscar, sweetie. It worked for Tara Reid. Oh wait, it didn’t. It’s a horrible idea. I take that back.

Owen Wilson’s ex-girlfriend, Stephanie Conley, dated the actor back in 2005 and talked about how during a recent visit with Wilson, he seemed to be very content with his life. She said that the news that he’d attempted to commit suicide both shocked and saddened her.

“I saw him very recently and he was on vacation and having such an amazing time.

“Obviously something has gone very wrong in his personal life since then but he was so happy - I just don’t understand.”

In the face of rumors that Owen was using such drugs as heroin and cocaine, his attorney is repeatedly denying that the “Wedding Crashers” was currently suffering from substance abuse. Additionally, friend and fellow co-star in the upcoming Ben Stiller project, “Tropic Thunder,” is also denying allegations made by ex-girlfriend, Courtney Love, that he was instrumental in sending Owen down the path of hard-partying that lead to his recent attempt to take his own life. Additionally, it’s widely believed that Owen was suffering from a depression that plagued him as a result of his failed romance with Kate Hudson. However, it’s no secret that Owen is a generally well-liked figure and that the public is rooting for him.

Wilson’s public perception is “very positive,” industry analyst Paul Dergarabedian of Media by Numbers said Tuesday. “Owen Wilson has a really good reputation and people in general really feel bad for him right now.”

And we are no exception, good luck, Owen! How awkward it must be when someone who isn’t liked very much attempts to take their own life. Probably like when an unattractive person goes missing. It’s just not as important, really. OMG, I’m totally just kidding! But if you did happen to laugh, then YOU’RE the horrible person and not me, cause I didn’t even mean it! Ha!

Thanks for your patience. We’re trying to get our server issues solved.

Nipping into H&M following a good hour in Debenhams, I was surprised to find myself drawn to a massive display in the children’s department! They’re now stocking Sanrio Hello Kitty merchandise - and some of the items are great for (kitschy) adults as well as the under tens they’re aimed at. Cute little hairclips for […]

Here’s Tim Gunn baring his choppers and looking a little tipsy. “I love your handbag so much that I’m going to chew on it, darling!” The tall elegant Park Avenue lady that is Mr. Gunn has a new show that premieres Sept. 9 on Bravo. It’s called “Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style”. Who gives a shit? What’s up with “Project Runway”? I need “Project Runway” like Amy Winehouse needs a rail to blow. Tim lets us in on how he felt about some of the past contestants and what this season is going to be like. I’m sweaty over this. Jesus, I love that show.

Us: Which Project Runway designer could most benefit from your fashion know-how?

TG: That’s a great question. God, I don’t know — maybe Diana Eng from season two. She’s our little math and science nerd and she kept saying that her own personal style wasn’t a priority for her, but if you’re going to be in fashion and especially if you’re going to be a designer, you’d better send a message about what you can do for your customer.

Aw, I liked little Diana! “Do you like this dress I made out of a tesseract? You need to times Pi by the square root of 976 to work the zipper!” Keep reading for who Tim still speaks to and what’s up for this season of “Runway”! I just soiled myself!

George Clooney and his grizzled yet fine ass attended the 75th Venice Film Festival and shilled his new flick “Michael Clayton”. I saw the trailer for this one, and it looked terribly boring until Tilda Swinton popped up. I could watch Tilda Swinton peel potatoes. She could show me paint samples and I’d be enthralled. She could even talk about the drudgery of filming “High School Musical 2″ and I’d be rapt and offer to freshen her drink.

In ‘Michael Clayton’ — headed into theaters in October — Clooney plays an in-house “fixer” at one of the largest corporate law firms in New York City. Known as “The Janitor” by his colleagues, his job is to clean up the messes of the wealthy clients represented by his employer — the law firm of Kenner, Bach & Ledeen. Burnt out and discontented in his job, Clayton doesn’t have the option of quitting, because a divorce, a gambling habit and a failed business venture have left him without funds.

Like I said, stifle your yawn. But Tilda Swinton! Remember that flick when her gay son accidentally killed his new lover and the guy from “ER” was blackmailing her ass and she had to run around trying to cover everything up? That’s a hot movie. Tilda’s so boss. I know this post was supposed to be about Clooney but just enjoy the pictures of him and think about how cool Tilda Swinton is. And how much taller she is then him. Shit, she could break him over her knee and do some more hot films without batting an eyelash.

And you thought there couldn’t be anything worse than a being a closet case cult member who worships volcanoes and aliens. Tom spoke about his new film. He’s playing Colonel Claus Graf Schenk von Stauffenberg, who was a German colonel who tried to off Hitler and is a national hero in Germany. Germany wasn’t pleased with this. If you’ll recall, they initially didn’t want his ass in their county because he’s in a dangerous mind-controlling cult. And then when they were allowed to film, 11 workers were injured in a set accident. Xenu isn’t his co-pilot on this one.

“All I can say is, ‘Save your comments until you see the movie,’ ” Cruise, 49, tells the German weekly, Bunte, regarding the German politicians and media who have attacked his religious beliefs and his decision to play one of Germany’s greatest heroes in his new movie Valkyrie.

“I want to think positive and concentrate on the film,” the actor says in the magazine. “I carry a great responsibility to the Germans, for whom a man like [Colonel Claus Graf Schenk von] Stauffenberg means so much.”

Well, they’ve had enough to deal with concerning their own national history and stuff without your gay ass bringing flying saucers and mind control and espionage tactics into their fair land. They’d like to keep it simple, thanks. Take your damn personality reader out of here!

This is where she’s going to prove us all wrong. This is where she puts the Funions down and takes back her rightful place as our Pop Queen. We may slam her left and right for being a neglectful mother, and slutty, and a drunk-ass and crazy and inbred - but it’s only because we love her and want her back. We want this to work! Really! Brit’s new single “Gimme More (Chocodiles)” has emerged onto radio and details are being revealed as to what’s going to happen during her MTV performance on Sept. 9. She’s teamed with that greasy magician and it’s going to be some mirror mess.

Angel will guide Spears in and out of a series of mirrors, making it seem as though she vanishes and then reappears several times, a source told the Daily News yesterday.

Other dancers in the complicated number are being called upon to harness up for simulated flight, the source said.

I hope that harness is ready, she had her ass cheeks hanging out the day and I felt better about my own. Keep reading for how much money Britney supposedly makes a month AND for more album details!

Aside from spending her time looking pocket-sized and absolutely adorable, Kylie Minogue has finally had a chance to get back into the recording studio to work on some new tracks and according to Victoria Newton of The Sun, at least one of the tracks is “a surefire No1.” The song, entitled, “2 Hearts,” was written by the tiny popstress after she’d been spending lots of time taking in the club anthems on the party island of Ibiza.

“We are now in the final stages of the album and are having to make some difficult but exciting decisions about which songs will stay and which ones will go. But I think you can safely say that 2 Hearts will be staying.

“I started working on this album a year and a half ago and can’t believe it is nearly finished.”

Yay! Oh, I heart Kylie and can’t wait to hear her little voice on the airwaves again, with some new stuff. Also, I have to say, I’m loving this Grace Kelly-in-jeans look she’s rocking. It baffles my mind that she’s dealt with cancer, a break-up and is still able to keep her shit together and come out with an album without so much as missing a beat. Britney, you taking notes?
