“Holiday shopping is very stressful for me,” admits Nicky Hilton. She’s not the only one who gets stressed over her holiday gift list! My advice is to give yourself plenty of time and that’s what Nicky, along with Nicole Richie, Mischa Barton, Mandy Moore and Jamie-Lynn Sigler are doing. They got a jump start on their holiday shopping last week! “The holidays are coming up and I’m just looking for presents for my friends,” says Nicole, who attended a special celebrity shopping event at H&M on Sunset Boulevard. “I’m shopping for the holidays a little selfishly, for myself tonight,” says Mandy, who was also looking for gifts for her family. “I kind of have to help mom and dad just a tiny bit. Sort of hip up their wardrobe!” “Just getting stuff for the holidays and stuff coming up, cute party dresses,” says Mischa, who loves H&M’s designer collaborations. “Comme des Garcons, I love it, it’s amazing and I’m sure it will sell out real quick, so that would be on my wish list,” says Mischa. Jamie-Lynn Sigler also plans to give the Comme des Garcons line to her friends and loves that affordable stores like H&M make it possible to give stylish gifts on any budget. “It’s less expensive, you don’t have to break your wallet shopping for people. It’s perfect.”

Extras are needed to rub shoulders with the stars in a gritty fantasy film being shot in Great Yarmouth. Malice in Wonderland features Hollywood hearthrob Mischa Barton and Danny Dyer with Bob Hoskyns also lined up to take a role. Anyone chosen at the audition will then appear in the background of the Lewis Carroll inspired crime fantasy as it is filmed around the resort over the summer. And as well as offering people the chance to appear on the big screen, the hard hitting and imaginative film is yet another feather in Yarmouth’s growing cap as a top destination for movie locations. Film producers have already secured the name of Mischa Barton, famous from the hit television series the OC and movies St Trinian’s and Don’t Fade Away. English born Mischa will play the lead role Alice, who enters the fantasy world of wonderland full of criminal lowlifes based on Lewis Carroll’s colourful children’s novel. The audition took place in Yarmouth’s Hippodrome from noon to 4pm. People had to be over 18 and were asked to dress up as ball room dancers, punks or in a criminal gang theme.
Thanks to Mischa B for this find!
