Three parties, one night, one city.

Getting my nails done in the pop up salon
So last night was a bit of a crazy one work wise.
I had to squeeze in three parties, that were in opposite parts of town, all before 8pm.
First up Myleene Klass's pop up nail bar in Soho, straight from work at 6pm.
Myleene's the latest celeb to turn her name and hand to beauty.
Everyone does it these days, if you haven't launched a makeup range, a nail varnish or clothing line it seems you're no one in 2011.
First it was just models and fashion celebs now it's every Tom, Dick and Harry. From Fearne Cotton to some random TOWIE bird.
Anyway Myleene has launched a collection of wrap on nails. Basically patterned stickers that wrap around your nail and file off.
They're good fun, although possibly a little bit tacky. Sorry.
Anyway fair play to Myleene she wasn't afraid to get her hands dirty and got to work sticking them on everyone.
And she had a sexy looking array of champagne and cupcakes.

One of the many handsome looking cake stands

Myleene getting busy with our manicures.

    
I then jumped into a cab and headed over to Altitude 360 at the top of the Millbank Tower ( floor level 28) for a Marilyn Monroe book exhibition.
The views across London and down The Thames were amazing. Especially all lit up under the stairs and in the moonlight.
London really is a beautiful city.
With a glass of wine in hand, I took a moment to stare out across the landscape and think about how lucky I felt to live in London and do a job I really enjoy.




I finished the night at The Spectacle Wearer Of The Year awards at Battersea Power Station.
After a few interviews on the red carpet (or in this case the green carpet) with Max from The Wanted (who won Spectacle Wearer Of The Year, yep, I never knew he wore glasses either) and The Only Way Is Essex girls Lauren Pope and Lauren Goodger, we sat down to have dinner and enjoy ourselves


Me, Max and Sonja
Gok Wan and Kara Tointon were hosting the awards.
The whole night got a bit messy. This happens every now and then at events when all our showbiz journo buddies are out.
Anyway to cut a long, and potentially career damaging, story short we got seriously re-hydrated on free wine.
There are rumours we may have commandeered the catwalk at one point, downed wine straight from the bottle, start a flower fight with the floral centre pieces and thrown some sexually inappropriate moves, not just on the dance floor.
However, rumours are over rated so lets just leave it there.

Sam, George, Sonja, Me and James

The Wanted - peeing on a hamster

Had a really busy week last week.
Started off by intervieing The Wanted.
The lads are joining the London 2012 Olympic Torch Replay team... exciting stuff.
So not only did I get to chat to the five lads I also go to hold the Olympic torch....whoop.

The Wanted, me and the Olympic torch
They might look like five naive and innocent boy banders but they revealed they often get so wasted they don't know what they're doing.
Max told me he recently weed on a hamster when he was hammered saying: "I was at a party and the lights were broken. I was feeling around in this room and I'm half-blind anyway.
"I started having a wee and suddenly thought: 'That doesn't sound like a toilet', so I pinched it, opened the door to let some light in and saw it was a hamster's cage. To be fair I did clean out all the sawdust. No, I didn't clean the hamster. It was soggy.
"My nan was so disgusted last week when she read that I wet the bed when I was drunk.
"Now she's going to hear I pissed on a hamster. Great."

Jay chipped in: "Me and Nathan were sharing a hotel room in Burnley, apparently I came in blind drunk, unzipped my rucksack, which had all my clothes in, and just took a piss in it."


The lads also admitted they wante to go to V festival in fancy dress saying: "We were thinking we might wear ski masks so we can go out into the crowd and muck about. We might go raving in a burka.
If you see a group of people at the stand-up urinals in a burka, you'll know it's us. That would be hilarious."

They also admitted the hate The Only Way Is Essex as they're a bunch of chavvy orange clones.
The said they'd never date any of the cast in a million years saying they're "too good for them."
