Rickie-Lee Coulter Slammed By Myer Over Carols Wardrobe

While most of us watched the Christmas Eve Carols by Candlelight concert and reveled in the festive season, key sponsor Myer was seething. The retail giant was furious because Ricki-Lee Coulter opted to wear an Alex Perry dress over one from its own stable of designers.

“On several occasions Myer, Channel 9 and Vision Australia made clear to Ricki-Lee’s manager that it was desirable that she wear a designer from the Myer stable,” Myer spokesman Mitch Catlin said. “Myer would have hoped that Ricki-Lee’s manager, who also represents Jennifer Hawkins, the face of Myer, would have had Myer foremost in his mind when it came to dressing talent.”

Apparently Carols organisers were also displeased.

But isn’t this event about raising money for Vision Australia and spreading Christmas cheer, rather than selling a few dresses? If it weren’t for Myer raising the issue I’d have been none the wiser. I might be idealistic, but it seems to me that sponsoring an event should be more about good will than capital gains. All this does is make the retail chain appear petty, which isn’t a good look around Christmas time.

Ricki-Lee Coulter's Raunchy New Clip

Since splitting with her ex-husband James Babbington last year, Ricki-Lee Coulter has ditched the nice girl image for some saucy pop tracks. Coming hot off the heels off “Don’t Miss You” comes another angry girl anthem, “Hear No See No Speak No.”

“It’s about getting to the point of strength in yourself where you just don’t want to hear someone’s voice,” she explains. “You no longer want to see their face or see the same situations reoccurring. And you no longer want to talk it out anymore.”

And nothing says strength like a dominatrix, so Ricki Lee’s donning the latex and fishnet stockings for the sexy clip. She plays a woman wronged who meets a mystery man, played by Gold Coast Titans player Daniel Conn. He faces a serious grilling at the hands of Ricki and her whip!

It all sounds quite controversial, so it’ll be interesting to see whether Video Hits plays a toned-down version this Saturday. The single hits radio today ahead of its official release on October 23.

Ricki-Lee’s a New Woman

Ricki-Lee Coulter has returned from a three-month trip to the United States with a “NEW sound, NEW look, NEW woman to set loose on you all.”

The pop star wrote about her “marathon of studio sessions” on her MySpace page. She called the trip “exhausting,” but adds that the experience “was an amazing adventure.”

But the good news for fans is that all the hard work wasn’t in vain. A new single “isn’t too far away at all,” with the album to follow.

Ricki-Lee Coulter and Sophie Monk Get Tummy Tucks, The Natural Way!

Ricki-Lee Coulter proudly flaunts her curves in her music videos, but she’s made no secret of feeling a little self conscious at times of her voluptuous size 14 figure. So it’s only fitting that the stunning singer has become the face of the holdmetight shapewear collection.

“Body confidence and personal empowerment is a big issue for Australian women and something I take very seriously,” Ricki-Lee said in a statement.

“holdmetight understands how a woman wants to look and feel, which is why I’m so proud to announce my ambassadorship role for the label. Now the very sexy products in the holdmetight range that I wear underneath my gowns and outfits for stage, screen and on the red carpet are available to everyday women, everywhere!”

Funnily enough another Aussie popstar is launching their own range of body sculpting lingerie. Skinny Sophie Monk will launch her rival gut-busting brand on Tuesday. Does Sophie really need any help for her willowy frame?

I know whose underclothes I’d be more inclined to trust!

Ricki-Lee Sets Sights on Global Domination

It looks like leaving the Young Divas could be the smartest thing Ricki-Lee Coulter ever did. While her former bandmates have released yet another album of 80s dance covers, Ricki-Lee’s exciting originals are attracting attention all over the world.

Ricki-Lee has just signed a major record deal with dance label Ministry of Sound. They’ll release her sophomore effort Brand New Day in the United Kingdom and Europe.

“I am still in shock that this has actually happened and that I am signed to Ministry of Sound,” she told The Sunday Telegraph. “It is a huge honour and it feels like a bit of a pat on the back as well.

“I wouldn’t have thought my music would even be eligible to be considered by a label like Ministry of Sound. They are so cutting-edge and are really renowned for making stuff happen. The big dream is ending up in Ibiza – that would be very cool, to end up playing in one of the biggest clubs in the world.”

Brand New Day will also be released in Japan by indie label Pony Canyon.

“Japan is like the second-highest territory in the world, so that is a pretty big deal in itself,” she added.

“To finally be sitting at the doorstep of two massive international releases, it’s still not real in my head.”
