Rihanna and Kylie Galavanting Around the UK

So, Rihanna got the tube (the Jubilee line to her own gig at the O2 if you must know) and Kylie Minogue was in Essex to collect an honorary doctorate from the Anglia Ruskin University in Chelmsford. Such massive national pride right now!

Although she was accompanied by an entourage and bodyguards, Rihanna swiped her very own Oyster card at the tube barriers, as she travelled underground to her very own concert at the O2. Naturally, Twitter went mad and we even got pictures for proof. The above pic is courtesy of Lisa Marie O'Keeffe, via Twitter. Those are some very lucky people! And for those of you who can never get a seat during rush hour, you're not alone - Rihanna was made to stand too! 

Elsewhere in the UK, a newly brunette Kylie Minogue travelled to Essex and was given an honorary Doctor of Health Science award, in recognition of her work for breast cancer awareness. She even gracefully signed autographs for adoring fans - what a sweetheart!

Essex Fashion Week..no, really!

Oh shut uuuuuuup. We're not sure just how much of this to take seriously, so take to the official Essex Fashion Week website to find out everything you need to know about the 'other' Fashion Week Britain has to offer. 

It takes place from March 24th - 26th, and promises a model scouting competition throughout the event, as well as a celebrity auction, a glam party in the notorious Faces club, a performance from James 'Arg' from The Only Way Is Essex (no word on Nanny Pat just yet, but there's still time for her to confirm an appearance),  a VIP speedboat and so much more.
