Steven Spielberg's Kids' Band, Wardell, Signed by Jay Z's Roc Nation


Jay-Z's Roc Nation label has just signed another high-profile act -- and this one has a pedigree that's just as impressive asBlue Ivy's! The mogul's latest acquisition, indie-folk duo Wardell, is comprised of Theo and Sasha Spielberg, two of Oscar-winning filmmaker Steven Spielberg's and Kate Capshaw's children.

Big brother Theo, 25, provides all the instrumentals for Wardell (including guitar, drums, and piano) and sister Sasha, 23, the nostalgia-tinged vocals. Roc Nation's website describes their collaboration thusly: "Sasha and Theo are brother and sister. That familiarity and fondness informs the music that they make together, which is at once warm and summery, comfortable and chill as a result of their Los Angeles upbringing." The management company also represents Shakira, Haim,Rihanna and Kylie Minogue.
In an interview with Teen Vogue this year, the musical pair talked about what inspired them to pursue music (Theo citesThe Strokes' This Is It, while Sasha points to Christina Aguilera's Stripped and Janis Joplin's Pearl) and what it's like to work together. "It's pretty rad," said Sasha. "The amount of inside jokes between us has skyrocketed…"

It's been quite a year for the talented siblings, who played withVampire Weekend and Haim at the storied South by Southwest music festival in Austin in March and released their debut EP, Brother/Sister, this summer. In addition to being signed by a major label, Sasha, according to The Hollywood Reporter, recently sold the pilotGirls Without Boys (co-written with Emily Goldwyn and produced by Rashida Jones) to ABC.

Chelsea FC Boss Roman Abramovich and Girlfriend Dasha Zhukova buy's off restaurant table to lunch date.

He’s wealthy enough to book every table in any restaurant of his choosing if he wants to dine out in private, and judging by the empty chairs surrounding Roman Abramovich on Monday afternoon it looked as if he’d done just that. Indeed, it was quiet enough to hear a rouble drop when as the Russian oligarch enjoyed a lunch date with partner Dasha Zhukova at Puny restaurant during their current stay in picturesque Italian coastal town Portofino. The couple were spotted as they surveyed their menus in silence before a waiter approached and obligingly took their order. Someone's pleased: Roman Abramovich smiles broadly as he relaxes in an empty Portofino restaurant with Dasha Zhukova The good life: Roman sits with a large glass of red wine in front of him on the table while his model girlfriend checks the menu Giving orders: A restaurant employee takes their food orders With a glass of red wine in front of him, Chelsea owner Roman looked relaxed in a short sleeve

It's one of the biggest social events on the A-list calendar, so the pressure is on for the A-list to shine at the Golden Globes.   And while Margot Robbie, Zooey Deschanel and Anna Gunn lit up the red carpet, leading the best-dressed pack in off-white, not everyone got it quite right. Sandra Bullock,  usually so fashion-forward,   made a rare misstep at this year's event in an unflattering pink, blue and black color block gown and messy side ponytail but, way out in front of the worst-dressed pack, Lady Victoria Hervey wore a dress that made her resemble a reject from an X-rated version of Dancing On Ice. Paula Patton, Julia Roberts and Jennifer Lawrence also turned heads for all the wrong reasons. Here FEMAIL round up the best and the very worst fashion of the 71st annual Golden Globes awards.

25 year old Brazilian model Dai Macedo from the central state of Goia beat 26 other contestants to win the 2013 Miss Bum Bum contest which is quite popular in Brazil. Dai impressed judges with her 42in derrière and went home with 5,000 reais ($2,100). She will also make a lot of money in advertising contracts. You would expect the butt that won her the contest to be 100% natural but it's not. "It isn't 100% natural. I had a butt lift. I always had a large backside but liposuction improved it,' Dai said.  SEE MORE PICTURES FROM OTHER CONTESTANTS Share 2 2 Share 0 3 Share 0 4 Share 1 5 Share 0 6 Share 0 7 Share 1 8 Share 0 9 Share 0 10 Share 0 11 Share 0 12 Share 0 13 Share 0 14 Share 0 15 Share 0 16 Share 0 17 Share 0 18 Share 0 19 Share 0 20 Share 0
