Nigella's Down Under Ahead of Next Week's Nibbies
Lovely Nigella Lawson was Down Under yesterday, signing copies of her book Nigella Express at the Queen Victoria Building in Sydney. I'm a big fan of the celebrity chef, and it seems that a lot of you love the domestic goddess too. We'll see how popular her book is when the winners of the Galaxy British Book Awards are announced next week, as Nigella Express is up for the Play.com Popular Non-Fiction Award.
Fab Blab: Nigella Lawson on Fur
TV chef and food write Nigella Lawson caused controversy last night when she announced that she'd happily wear fur if she killed the animal herself. Appearing on The One Show on BBC1 Nigella was asked if she thought the fashion industry should outlaw fur. She commented,
"Going into a shop and buying a fur coat would be an act of weakness.
Battle of the Quick Chocolate Mousse: Nigella vs. Giada
Yesterday, while visiting my old friend The Food Network, I watched two episodes — one Nigella and another Giada — in which recipes for a super-simple chocolate mousse-like dessert were made. Both looked divinely delicious and uncomplicated to make — way easier than the chocolate mousse recipe I wrote about awhile ago. I decided to make them both and have a taste test to see which recipe was better.
Nigella Lawson Dishes Out Tough Love
While the chatty chef serves up generous portions on TV, off screen Nigella Lawson has been getting into tiffs with her husband about preferring not to leave the fruits of their labor to the fruits of their loins. Nigella has made it well known that she plans on leaving none (zip!) of their £100 million estate to their children. Seems like she may be taking Melinda Gates' take on inheritance to the next level?
Who Said It, Martha or Nigella?
The blogosphere is running amok with a story about a "feud" that is brewing between Martha Stewart and Nigella Lawson. Martha supposedly referred to Nigella as, "what's her name who married the Saatchi." Which caused Nigella to respond that Martha has "insecurities."
US-Bound BMI Winner Lily Helps Nigella Launch Saatchi
Nigella Lawson looked gorgeous at her husband's Saatchi Gallery Launch Party last night on the King's Road, and a host of celebrities braved the weather to welcome the artworks to their new home in Chelsea. Mariella Frostrup wrapped up in an on-trend chunky knit, while still sexy Stephen Dorff continued his leather jacket and plaid shirt combo. Lily Allen went monochrome in fashion and beauty: BellaUK wants to know do you love or hate her look?
Lovely Ladies Celebrate The Lavender Trust
A load of lovely ladies attended the 10th Anniversary Party of The Lavender Trust at Breast Cancer Care at Claridge's in London last night. Emma Thompson, Nigella Lawson and Thandie Newton smiled for pictures alongside Annie Lennox, who sang at the Lavender Trust's launch party back in 1998 and performed again at last night's anniversary party. Lisa Snowdon looked great in her pretty dress, as did Claudia Winkleman who went for big blue circles like Sophie Ellis-Bextor had the night before.

Nigella Lawson Not So Tough After All
Last week I told you about reports that the wealthy chef's children wouldn't be inheriting her money for the sake of them understanding the value of a euro. She issued this statement denying the rumors on her website on Friday.
You might have noticed in the press that I have (apparently) cut my children out of my will, cruel mother that I am.
