Beyonce splashes out on £200,000 diamond stilettos for new music video

Beyonce is well known for her show-stopping costumes, having stepped into the limelight wearing next to nothing in her sexy leotards or overly embellished pieces.

And, it looks like the singer is set to impress once again in her next project.

As the boss of British brand, House of Borgezie, has revealed that they have sold the beauty a pair of bejewelled Princess Constellation heels that she will wear in her upcoming video.

The stilettos were sculpted in a boiling furnace by skilled jewellers before they were encrusted with 1,290 sparkling diamonds which weigh in at 65.60 carats.

They were inspired by the Paul Simon hit 'Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes' and has set Beyonce back an eye-watering £200,000.

Chris, who has been in the jewellery business for over 22 years, flew over to Los Angeles to meet the singer a few months ago and spent FOUR hours measuring her feet.

He added: "The word had gone around and I had a call from her people a couple of months ago.

"I went to America and spent four hours measuring her feet. It has to be down to the millimetre, once they are done there is no going back.

"She was really down to earth and really lovely and was very happy with the shoes.

"Beyonces just one of those fantasy customers.

"If you want someone to model your creations, you cant get any better than Beyonce.

"Ive been told the stilettos are for her next video which should be out in the autumn."

Chris, from Eccleshall, Staffs, launched his Constellation collection last May and two pairs have been sold with one going to a mystery buyer who lives in Dubai.

The shoes come with a lifetime guarantee and purchasers have their feet moulded in plaster of Paris.

He added: "They are the crown jewels of stilettos. They're a bit like the 1960s E Type Jag - it doesn't matter what you do, youre not going to improve on them.

"Occasionally in a designer or artists life there may come a moment in time when you stand back and realise you may just have created your finest work so far. I think this is truly that moment.

"Like any royal crown, the Princess Constellation will still be here in a thousand years time.

"Obviously I have sold shoes to people in Dubai who have so much money but Beyonce is the biggest public figure I have ever sold anything to."

* In July last year, Chris Shellis created the worlds most expensive clutch bag which costs a wallet-busting £105,000.

The du palais clutch bag, which measures 7in (17cm) by 5in (12cm) and weighs 542g, is crammed with 345 diamonds and 18ct gold clasps.

It took a dedicated team of goldsmiths and diamond setters more than 100 hours to create the bag, which comes with a secret compartment big enough for an iPhone.

Not every gospel songstress deserves to be a Pastor’s wife – Patience Nyarko

Gospel sensation Patience Nyarko who previously revealed she does not and has no intention of getting engaged to a man of God (pastor) has hit hard on her gospel artistes who doubles as Pastor’s wives “Asofo Maame” .

The gospel artist said some of these Pastors wives drive away souls from their husbands church with their dressing and attitude.

Due to such characters, Miss Nyarko said it is not every female gospel artists that deserves to be a pastor wife.

“Many gospel artists are collapsing their husbands’ churches. Some pastors are suffering because of their wives. Some of them because of the fame they have look down on their husbands

I will plead with pastors not to just jump into marriage with artists because they sing or have fame but rather marry women who can help them grow the church and keep the Lord’s ministry moving”, she advised

She said some Pastors wives don’t have time to support their husband at church and are always busy with showbiz activities; but it is their duty to support and work for the growth of the church.

She urged all pastors to be careful in choosing artists as wives since their mission in their work as men of God comes with a whole lot of responsibilities.

Explaining why she does not want to marry a Pastor on ATV’s “Angels Corner”, she noted she can’t just jump into a relationship with a Pastor because she sings but rather wait on God’s calling.

“Personally I have no intention of getting married to a man of God but if the time comes and that’s the direction God’s wants me to go, I can’t reject God’s calling.

But for me to just jump into a Pastor’s arm because of favor or just because I want to be called “Osofo Maame” has never existed in my world” she said.

The Trust Production singer who has her second album “Wafom Kwan” in the market further indicated that asgospel artists they are vessels of the Lord and must live their lives as such.

Shatta Wale Apologizes to Samini, Charterhouse and Others!

Shatta Wale is back with another letter. This time round, he is apologising.
 In a latest social media post, Shatta wrote;

"Letter To the Industry...Share It..I was making a point maybe my approach was Bad but that point i was trying to make still holds...‪#‎NOTIME‬ ‪#‎KWIKIT‬ ‪#‎BHSM‬
LETTER TO THE INDUSTRY… PEACE, BE STILL_Mark 4:39

Every birth brings to every household good tidings and blessings. You and I brought joy on this plane and are blessings onto our folks and the universe as a whole.
The instance i set eyes on MAJESTY, calm and peace went up my spine, his cries were distinct with words saying "make peace daddy" I have struggled with this message for a while and prayed over it. Anytime i held him in my arms those are the words that resounds in my soul.

I have been through a lot and thankful to the lord for all my trials and tribulations. He made me strong and has always won victory for me in the face of adversity. He's kept his promise and has never disgraced me. He has in many ways spoken to me and I have listened. He's spoken to me again and I humbly oblige.

By this piece I am calling for a suspension of hostilities in our industry and would like to ask for pardon if by my actions or inactions caused grief to all industry persons.
My code of belief has always been to wrestle against sinister motives and overcome hurdles in our industry that seeks to pull down and impoverish the ghanaian artiste and the industry as a whole.

I mean well and hold on to my philosophy, I believe all in the industry shares the same vision and ask we joinforces to wrestle our demons to see our industry thrive for posterity.
Apologies to my brother Samini and his family, to Mr. Ayoade and the staff of charterhouse and GhOne, to every journalist, blogger, media house, presenter and my colleague artistes I may have stepped on.

Lately there's been an external attempt to start a feud between me and my younger brother Stonebwoy, but we are above it. Let's bust a tune fi dem, I say to my young brother.
To my brother Samini, I say we owe the world a collaboration and a worldwide Peace Tour.

I hope my message will not be misread and misconstrued. I am not asking Charterhouse to withdraw their case against me or sought after awards and also not seeking to win the media over. Thank you.

I am carrying out the highest order as a servant of God onto mankind.

God bless Ghana and our entertainment industry. Let's get together and forge ahead.

Chris Hemsworth's abs leave Christina Applegate in awe

 Actress Christina Applegate admits to being "in awe" of actor Chris Hemsworth's abs. Hemsworth strips down to his underwear for a performance in the new comedy "Vacation". And although the scene garnered lots of laughs from movie-goers, the film's star, Applegate, says Hemsworth's physique is no laughing matter. "It didn't make me laugh because we were just in awe of his abs," Applegate told people.com of filming the scene. "It got quiet on the set there for awhile." Applegate, 43, says she remains mystified as to how Hemsworth was able to get into such great shape. "He said, 'I don't really do anything, I just surf,' and I'm like 'that is not from surfing guy. You don't want to give us your secrets? That is not okay'."

"Thank you Shekhar (Ravjiani)! It is a brilliant script... I can't wait to play haseena," Sonakshi, 28, posted on Twitter after the music composer Shekhar congratulated the actress for her new outing.

Dawood has two sisters -- Haseena Parkar and Saeeda Parkar. Haseena, who was known as the underworld queen, used to stay with her son Alishah and a 21-year-old-daughter in Mumbai's Nagpada. At the age of 55, she passed away last year after suffering a massive heart attack.

She was the seventh child in a family of 12 kids. Her father, Mohammed Ibrahim, was a police head constable in Mumbai crime branch.

This is not the first time Sonakshi, who is currently busy with her stint in "Indian Idol Junior", will be starring in an underworld film. She had played Dawood's love interest in "Once Upon ay Time in Mumbaai Dobaara!", which was said to be based on the life of the fugitive don.

"Haseena" will go on floors from next year.

No big effort: Sofia Vergara on make-up

Actress Sofia Vergara says she doesn't leave her house without make-up.

The 43-year-old, who is engaged to actor Joe Manganiello, says applying cosmetics is "no big effort" and is an essential part of her daily routine, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

“Part of being Latin is really putting ourselves together. For example, I don't like leaving the house without lipstick, some blusher or mascara. For me, putting on make-up is like brushing my teeth. It's no big effort,” Vergara told Closer magazine.

The “Modern Family” actress says she has started taking more care of herself as she has gotten older.

“My beauty regime has changed since I turned 40. I use suntan lotion whenever I go out. I wish I'd done that religiously in my younger years because I believe prevention is always better than cure. Once you have a sagging neck, that's it.

"I have to watch my diet, too. A year ago, I started making juices with vegetables for a healthy meal option. I also have a huge problem with desserts and cake,” she said.
