Natalie Cole wields the pen

Natalie Cole wields the pen
Natalie Cole shows herself as a writer in her article for Jason Binn’s magazine, Los Angeles Confidential — this issue is Binn’s début as editorial director.
Natalie, a ten-time Grammy winner, writes movingly of her bouts with addiction and illness: “Whatever horror stories you have heard about chemo are true. It is absolutely one of the most debilitating and difficult experiences that could ever happen to a human being … Trying to perform was a real challenge. Just picture an IV hanging from a wardrobe rack in my dressing room in Japan as I tried to prepare for two shows in a night!”
The singer has no qualms discussing “my younger, hell-raising days. I was an active drug user and heroin was my drug of choice.” (Doctors feel that needle use brought on hepatitis C and Natalie’s recent kidney failure.)

Ralph Fiennes was the guest of honor at last night's Los Angeles Confidential magazine party at the Mondrian Hotel's SkyBar. He's on the current cover and he's also nominated in five categories for Golden Globes: Best Supporting Actor, The Duchess Best Actor Miniseries/Motion Picture for TV, Bernard and Doris Best Miniseries/Motion Picture for TV, Bernard and Doris Best Motion Picture Comedy, In Bruges Best Motion Pictures Drama, The Reader
As cameras went nuts shooting flashes at him, we asked him to describe the Golden Globes experience. "It's another world," he said. "I remember when I first came, I was nominated (for 1993's Schindler's List)and it was another world to me. It’s another world to see so many established faces in one room."Kim Kardashian tugged on her dress top to keep from having a wardrobe malfunction and talked about boyfriend Reggie Bush. "We're not engaged. I don't know when that will ever happen. People keep asking, but I don't know!"She said she's "gearing up" for the third season of Keeping up with the Kardashians in March and she loves it. "Look, basically our job is to wake up and work with our family every day. It couldn't get any easier." What we'll see in Season 3: "I think that everyone assumes we all live in my mom's house and this season we're going to show where we all live. We're going to show a lot of our own elements."Bai Ling's been busy, too. "I have 8 movies in post production," she said. She also praised Ralph Fiennes. "I'm friends with him. I know him. There's something very sensitive and true in his soul."What wasn't true, she said, were those reports that she had shoplifted at LAX airport in February 2008. "It was a mistake. I'm innocent."
