You might remember that Camden pub and occasional celeb hangout The Hawley Arms
was gutted by fire earlier this year. Well, last night Noel Fielding
hosted a fundraiser for the beloved venue and some other celebs showed up to show their support. Amy Winehouse also spent a little time at Dingwalls, where the event was held, wearing a string vest and showing off the bra collection she seems oh-so-proud of.
This weekend Eastnor played host to The Big Chill festival in Herefordshire. Noel Fielding, Julian Barratt and The Mighty Boosh band were among the performers, which was rather fitting as it was a Big Chill event where the band
made their debut in June. The boys proved they're no regular band (just like they did at
their very own festival last month) with their TV characters coming to life through costumes, dances and of course the songs.
Russell Brand and Noel Fielding took to the stage as a double act yesterday evening,
reprising their Goth Detectives team for a charity gig at the Lyceum Theatre. Although Russell covered up with sunnies when he left Soho House, we got a glimpse at his eyes in all their smudged guyliner glory when he joined pal Noel in a taxi after their peformance. Both "guyliner" — which is thicker than normal eyeliner to make it easier for men to grip — and "manscara"
will appear on shelves in Superdrug this week, with the company's director of trading highlighting Russell and Robbie Williams as famous masculine men who have set the trend.
Those wonderful men of
The Mighty Boosh headlined their own festival in Kent at the weekend, with musical guests and comedic set-pieces that caused glee among the Boosh-ily dressed fans. Noel Fielding took to
the pirate galleon stage, towing an amusingly grumpy Julian Barratt behind him
in a dinghy, before singing classics from the TV show such as "Eels", "We Are The Mutant Freaks" and "Bouncy Bouncy" – magic. Rich Fulcher dressed in
some super-scary get-ups, and I was happy with the appearance of my favourite character – The Moon – who did a tribute to Jay-Z with
his very own version of "99 Problems"!
Almost-identical twins Har Mar Superstar and Bob Fossil (Fulcher)
had a dance off in identical blue safari suits.
Noel Fielding never fails to have fun with any possible photo opportunity (well, perhaps
barring one) – whether he's dressed as
a cowboy or
a clown, or has props like
that memorable hairdryer. Good times. Last night the hairdryer was replaced with a beer and some twiglets, and he was wearing
his glitterball bodysuit on the bottom half of his body with a blazer-covered top half.
