The majority of the 8,000 torchbearers were selected after being nominated by friends and family for their work in the community.
Will was the
109th runner to take part in the 70-day 8,000 mile torch relay and he certainly
proved a crowd pleaser in the sleepy town.
He also
posted: 'Crazy energy in the UK.'
Many of the
torchbearers have listed the torch for sale on Ebay with some wanting £100,000
for the piece of history.
Engaged to
rapper Wiz Khalifa – who picked up the Best New Artist Award – she was sure to
put her left hand on her hip, showing off the gorgeous diamond engagement ring
he gave her in March.

Norwood turned up the heat on Sunday evening at the MGM Grand Garden in Las
Vegas, Nevada, at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards.

The
temperature is beginning to rise and it's time to start planning ahead. With
spring and summer styles already determined, a lot of the apparel for those
seasons is hitting the racks now! Maybe you aren't planning on buying your warm
weather essentials just yet, but it won't hurt to map out your potential
purchases. With the print madness the fashion industry has been seeing, it's
safe to say that if you're purchasing printed wraps, they won't go out of style
before summer begins!
But American star and The Voice judge Will.i.am also somehow managed to score a spot in today’s procession and ran a mile with the Olympic torch through Taunton, Somerset.
The 37-year-old, who has admitted to be obsessed with Twitter, kept his fans up-to-date by tweeting furiously throughout the run.
The musician
found time to pose up with plenty of fans along his short route with the flame
and posted several pictures to Twitter.
The Black
Eyed Peas star, whose real name is William James Adams Jr, posted: 'Its nuts
here in taurton...so much excitement...#runningthetorch.'
'#TWEETtheTORCH
thank you coca.cola for this once in a life time experience to come to taunton
and #runthetorch...'
The 70-day
relay started in Land’s End on Saturday and will finish on July 27 at the
opening ceremony of the Games.
It cost £495
to make each torch, but runners were offered the chance to buy them for just
£215 while those who won their places through sponsors such as Coca-Cola were
given them free.
But
Will.i.am told fans he was taking his torch home and posted a picture of
himself outside a helicopter following the event.
Brad Pitt In Balenciaga – ‘Killing
Them Softly’ Cannes Film Festival Premiere.
As expected,
Brad Pitt looked devilishly handsome on the red carpet for the ‘Killing Them
Softly’ premiere during Cannes Film Festival this evening.
The actor
opted for a classic look wearing a Balenciaga black tuxedo with a white dress
shirt, black bow-tie and a satin cummerbund.
He looked to
be having a lot of fun on the red carpet taking pictures on his iPhone. The
only thing missing from his look was his arm candy – Angelina Jolie.
Amber Rose struggles to conceal her
assets in strapless dress at the Billboard Awards;
Amber Rose
is famous for her eye-popping fashion choices.
And once
again the model wasn't exactly shy when it came to showing off her cleavage,
which looked ready to tumble out as she walked the red carpet tonight at the
Billboard Music Awards.
In a
barely-there white sheath dress, the 28-year-old strutted her bodacious body,
happily showing photographers front and back angles of her full figure.
The
skin-tight dress, which went from the middle of her breasts to the top of her
thighs, had a gold zipper down the back.
When
modelling the outfit alone, Rose looked comfortable in her own skin.
But when
Khalifa – who was flanked by none other than Justin Bieber – grabbed her for a
photo opportunity, she seemed to stiffen up as if she was trying to get loose
from his grasp.
Tweeting
excitedly from the event, Amber wrote: 'My Baby Won!!!!! Yay!!!!
#BillboardAwards'
Rose, who
once dated Kanye West, became engaged to the 24-year-old rapper in March.
When she accepted
his proposal, Khalifa tweeted excitedly: 'She said ‘yes’!'
While
awaiting their wedding, the couple have been living in the suburbs of
Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, where Rose told People she’s been keeping busy
reading loads of bridal magazines.
Do we love Alicia Keys hairstyles.
‘Vous N’avez Encore
Rien Vu’ Cannes Film Festival Premiere.
It was damp
night on the red carpet, in more ways than one, at the ‘Vous N’avez Encore Rien
Vu’ premiere during the 2012 Cannes Film Festival this evening.
Li Bingbing:
The Asian actress wore a Gucci petrol blue gown embellished with black leather
details on the shoulders. Also jumping on the dark lip colour trend, she
completed her look with a slicked back bun and a Gucci black clutch.
Najwa Karam:
The Lebanese singer wore a Zuhair Murad gown. The nude long-sleeve gown with
white embroidered details fails to excite. I never thought I would say that
about a Zuhair Murad gown.
Bérénice
Marlohe: The new Bond girl wore a custom gold lamé Emilio Pucci gown. Her
halter gown with a pleated skirt and black lace insert is not my favourite
Pucci gown of this festival. With her hair pulled back she opted for a nude lip
colour and smoky eyes. Swarovski jewels completed her look.
This has to
be the most disappointing night in Cannes history.
Hopefully
the Chopard Party at the L’Oreal Suite will grant us with some great red carpet
looks.
Who Was Your Best Dressed At The 2012
Billboard Music Awards?
Brandy Norwood In Hervé Léger by Max
Azria – 2012 Billboard Music Awards
The singer
wore a Herve Leger by Max Azria Spring 2012 bandage dress.
Her
curve-enhancing mauve-coloured fringed bandage dress with rose-gold metal
accents was style with rose-gold metallic Christian Louboutin bow-accented
‘Lady Peep’ slingbacks.
The rest of
her accessories included a gold leopard-print clutch and a selection of London
Manori statement jewels.
I love the new
do. Those tight voluminous curls give this look a retro Diana Ross vibe.
Smoky eyes
and a neutral lip colour provided the finishing touches.
It's All in The Details.
Last week’s
Met Gala still has me in lala land, but what dug me even deeper into it was
these very photos on From Me to You photo blog. The other articles and posts I
read [and written] have been all about best dressed, but nothing has explored the
details of the couture on that night one week ago. These photos show the
smallest, yet brightest, accents of the night and highlight the little things
that go unnoticed but shouldn’t. Admire the underlying beauty that creates a
look and peer into the photos from behind the lens of this sneaky, quirky
fashion photographer.

Mom Knows Best
Warm Weather Prints for summer;
But those
sixty-something degree days we've been having are throwing me off my fashion
game. Currently, I have swimsuit coverup patterns on my mind. With prints
"in" this spring, it's inevitable that there will be poolside prints
everywhere this spring and summer. Whether they be bright, black, solid or a
mixture of all three, prints are emerging!
COUPLE OF THE DAY
Alicia and
husband Swizz Beatz enjoyed a rare night away from their 19-month-old son Egypt
Little bright treasures;
As summer
knocks on the door, we have to make sure we're fully prepared before we hop
into a whole new season. Going into summer without the right essentials is like
going on vacation without a suitcase, a big "no no". To avoid any
fashion dilemmas, I've decided to give you all that's essential when it comes
to little bright treasures. Why treasures, you may ask? They're treasures
because in life, without hitting the gold mine and finding your treasure, you
won't live life to the fullest. But this
summer, you want to live not only your life to the fullest, but also your
fashion life. Even though the "treasure" may not be vital to your
style, I'm going to guide you to your treasure that you need to make it
fabulously through the summer looking dazzling every day!
1.) Bright,
bold jewelry- Why in the world do you need to own a necklace with 15 chains and
every color? How about asking yourself this: Why not? Not only is this necklace
fabulous, but it's so un-typical. You don't walk down the street and see a
necklace like this very commonly. It's stylish, it's rare and it's a great
piece to add to your jewelry box. Not only is it summery, but if you're wearing
any solid color, it will match!
2.) Bright
nails- This is a fabulous look and more widespread. Although common among teen
girls and stylistas, it's a great look when the rest of your outfit is bold and
bright. Be fashionable from the tip of your finger to the tips of your toes
with this trend!
3.) Handbag,
handbag, handbag- What completes an outfit like a good, old fashioned clutch?
Nothing that is! Keep your essentials close to you inside a stylish little
clutch. Match the color to your outfit, or even color block with a totally
different color. They're very versatile and very stylish.
4.) Flats-
Metallic with bright? You might think it's too much, but it's just enough. When
worn with the right jeans, or shorts, and a plain or patterned shirt, these
flats will rock your world. You'll have fancy twinkletoes with the bright
yellow tips, who doesn't want that?! Not only are they trendy, but they're cute
and bubbly. They say a lot. The yellow is a confidence booster!
5.) Back to
the nail polish trend, see tip #2. [but this is the color to aim for if you're
thinking orange]
6.) Last but
not least, make-up bag- Stay organized with this hard-to-miss make-up bag from
kate spade. For summertime, bring it to the beach and pack it with sun block,
moisturizer and chap stick. For a night out, stick it in your handbag
[certainly not in a clutch.. it wouldn't fit] with your emergency make-up
inside!
I hope this
bright little pointers help set you in the right direction for summer
essentials. For more summer fashion tips, stay up to date with Fashion is
Freedom! Enjoy the warm weather and don't forget to protect your skin from UV
rays.
Be bright,
bold and beautiful.
LOOK OF THE DAY.
