Barack Obama is sworn into office at the White House as proud Michelle and daughters look on…

President Barack Obama was sworn into his second term on Sunday at noon in front of only his wife and two daughters in a simple service.

His younger daughter Sasha said: ‘Good job, Daddy!’ after he correctly recited the oath of office.

‘I did it!’ he gleefully responded. Sure to keep him on his toes, he followed that up with a quick ‘You didn’t mess up!’

The swearing in ceremony took place on Sunday in keeping with the laws states in the Constitution which states that Presidents’ terms begin at noon on January 20. Normally the oath of office is given on the steps of the Capitol and is followed by his address to the nation, but because this year it happens to fall on a Sunday- and inaugurations are never held that day of the week- the oath of office was given quickly in the Blue Room of the White House instead.

When President Obama takes the oath again tomorrow in front of the packed Mall, it will be his fourth time doing so. Only the President’s immediate family and a few relatives were present, along with a crew of journalists to witness and televise the event. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

First Lady Michelle embraces Barack as President thanks donors at second-term reception!

Barack Obama told elated supporters tonight that the inauguration was a time to celebrate ‘our incredible nation’ as he kissed wife Michelle after being sworn in for his second term.  The first couple attended a reception in Washington D.C. tonight along with Vice-President Joe Biden and wife Jill.

The Obamas were at the National Building Museum to celebrate those who supported the campaign and benefactors of the Presidential Inaugural Committee. Michelle looked glamorous in a sequined, black cocktail dress and statement earrings while Dr Biden wore a navy blue dress with a bold necklace. Obama thanked his many donors for their support at the event and said his second inauguration is a celebration of the country and its citizens, not the election results.

He reminded the crowd that ‘what we’re doing is celebrating each other and celebrating this incredible nation that we call home’. He encouraged the crowd to enjoy the inauguration and said he needs them to work as hard as they can on issues important to them. Obama said the inauguration is a reminder that ‘there is something bigger than ourselves’.

He kept his comments brief and quipped that he has to save some of his lines for his speech on Monday. He also gave his opinion on a much-debated matter his week – his wife’s new haircut.

He said: ‘I love her bangs. She looks good. She always looks good.’ Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Beaming Obama savors his second inauguration: ‘I want to take one more look… I’m not going to see this again!’

President Barack Obama today savored the hundreds of thousands of supporters gathered to witness his second inauguration in Washington D.C., grinning as he waved enthusiastically to the crowds lining Pennsylvania Avenue. And in a moving display of his appreciation as he left his public swearing-in ceremony at the Capitol building early this afternoon, he was seen pausing a moment to look back towards the crowds and reflect on the vast sea of people before him.

‘I want to look out one more time because I’m not going to see this again,’ he said quietly to someone next to him as he took in the spectacular view.

The president appeared just as grateful for the support as he walked hand-in-hand with his wife as part of the Inauguration Parade, which featured floats from 60 organizations, as it snaked through the city’s streets. The parade came after Obama was sworn into office by Chief Justice John G. Roberts as the president’s proud wife Michelle and two daughters, 11-year-old Sasha and 14-year-old Malia, looked on.

After he took the oath with two bibles – one belonging to Abraham Lincoln, the other to Martin Luther King Jr. – Obama addressed the crowd of supporters in an impassioned speech and urged the country to work together.

‘Our individual freedoms requires collective action,’ he said. ‘We do not believe that in this country, freedom is reserved for the lucky, or happiness for the few… We must act together, as one nation and one people.’Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Kobe Bryant’s daughter Natalia celebrates 10th birthday…

NBA Laker’s MVP Kobe Bryant’s daughter Natalia celebrated her 10th birthday on Saturday, January 19, 2013. Her mother Vanessa Bryant stated she wanted to keep her daughter’s birthday private and would therefore not be posting any photographs.

The Bryants recently reconciled thirteen months after announcing their divorce, the NBA superstar Kobe Bryant and his wife Vanessa confirmed last month that they have chosen to get back together.

‘We are pleased to announce that we have reconciled. Our divorce action will be dismissed. We are looking forward to our future together,’ read the statement, which Vanessa posted on her Instagram account.

The couple have been starting off the new year on the right foot and have been shamelessly posting photographs – and kind words – of each other on their social media profiles. The Lakers guard only joined Twitter on Jan. 4, but he’s already managed to share an image of his wife sending him a big kiss. Last week the mother-of-two shared her love for her husband on her Instagram, which she launched in December. The couple have two daughters together.

Spotted: Tulisa as she tucks into some potato chips from a petrol station looking chavvier than ever!

She’s often seen with ridiculously large hoop hanging from her ears, but it looks like Tulisa likes the savory variety too. The singer was seen tucking into a pack of Hula Hoops after picking up some bottles of fizzy drink from a petrol station. Wearing a matching velour tracksuit, quilted leather jacket and a baseball hat, Tulisa was a far cry from the polished looking judge on the X Factor.

Now that the talent show is over, the judge has been reverting back to her pre-stylist, N-Dubz style, and the results have made her look chavvier than ever. And this latest outfit seems to be proving Louis Walsh right who branded her ‘a chav in a tracksuit.’ But luckily, the only crime Tulisa committed at the petrol station, was against fashion – unlike her cousin.

The last time Dappy -real name Costadinos Contostavlos – filled up on gas, he ended up facing a jail sentence after being found guilty of affray and one assault offence. The 25-year-old got involved in a brawl at a petrol station and now could end up with a maximum sentence of three years’ imprisonment for affray and six months for assault by beating – which included spitting at a man. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Khloe Kardashian: ‘I’m happy being heavier!’

She recently lashed out at U.S. tabloids for their false reports surrounding her personal life. But when it comes to the public scrutinizing her appearance, Khloe Kardashian has learned not to take notice. The 28-year-old says she no longer listens to what people have to say about her fluctuating weight because she can never please everyone.

The youngest Kardashian sister, spoke about her impressive weight loss of 30 pounds in 2009 thanks to taking Quick Trim pills. But the star revealed that even though she triumphed in some sense, she still found herself being criticized by others. Khloe – who is married to basketball player Lamar Odom – admitted that she now feels comfortable no matter what the scales say.

She told the February 2013 issue of America’s Glamour magazine: ‘A few years ago I lost 30 pounds, and people still wanted to criticize. And honestly, I’m happy with myself if I’m a little heavier.’ She continued: ‘I realized: Why am I trying to conform to someone else’s idea of beauty? I think I’m beautiful either way.’ Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Alicia Keys forced to lower asking price of her modern New York penthouse to $15 million…

She sang about A Woman’s Worth in her album Songs From A Minor.

But Alicia Keys was more concerned about the worth of her house this week as she chopped $2.95 million off the asking price. The singer has been trying to sell her New York City penthouse since listing it in March 2012, but was forced to lower the selling amount from $17.95 million to $15 million.

Alicia – who is married to music artist Swizz Beatz and has a two-year-old son Egypt with him – purchased Eddie’s Murphy’s sprawling luxury estate in October. They paid $12 million which is more than half the original asking price of $30 million for the 32-room Colonial mansion with recording studio.

So it’s no wonder they are trying to shift the apartment at 30 Crosby Street, which used to belong to singer-turned-actor, Lenny Kravitz. He paid $7.128 million for it in 2000 and relisted it after a renovation for $17 million in 2002.
Eight years later, he sold it to Keys for $12.75 million.  The light and airy pad featured several flights of stairs which eventually lead to a beautiful rooftop lounge. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Matthew McConaughey reveals he was ‘mad’ after hearing best friend Lance Armstrong’s doping confession…

McConuaghey, who is a Texas boy… just like Armstrong, admitted he was ‘p***** off’ after hearing his friend admit to using performance enhancing drugs, according to MTV .

‘My first reaction was I was p***** off,’ he said, after saying he wanted to be ‘delicate’ in discussing the matter. He added: ‘I was mad. I then got kind of sad for him. First off, I had a part of me that took it kind of personally, which I think a lot of people have.’

‘For him, it was impersonal because he was living a lie,’ McConaughey continued. ‘It was a whole unanimous facade he had to carry around.’

The pair have been friends for years and have enjoyed holidays together, trained together and even worked together… especially on Armstrong’s charity, Livestrong.

‘What I realized is that those of us that took that personally, like, “Oh, he lied to me,’ it’s not true,” McConaughey added ‘What I mean by this is, what was he supposed to do? Call me to the side and go, “Hey man, I did it but don’t tell anybody.” Then I would have really had a reason to be p***** off at him, going, “You want me to walk around holding this?’ “ Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Happy birthday Stacey Dash! Actress turns 46 years old…

Multiracial actress Stacey Dash turned 46 on January 20, 2013. The actress who found fame on the big screen as ‘Dionne Davenport’ for the 1995 movie Clueless has remained youthful from the first time we watched her. The single mother to two children, son Austin and daughter Lola, made headlines during the general election campaign for her support of presidential candidate Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan.

Dressed in a tight black dress with lace detail on the arms, Leona showed off a more curvaceous figure than usual as she performed on the show called Wetten Dass. Her hips were further accentuated by the peplum detail on the skirt and the thin belt around her waist. The singer coordinated her necklace to the belt creating a stylish and symmetrical look. The 27-year-old appeared to go tight-less for the event giving viewers a glimpse of her shapely calves.

Her newly lightened hair had been given a slight curl and it fell loose down her shoulders. Leona added a splash of color to her outfit with bright lipstick as she sung her heart out. The star debuted her new look for the first time on Monday when she was spotted out and about in Los Angeles where she unfortunately managed to pick up a parking ticket. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

New Year, New Look: Singer Cassie debuts new hairstyle…

Multiracial RnB singer Cassie isn’t a stranger to new hairstyles and with her latest move, the singer is sure to keep folks talking about her for a while. The ‘Janet Jackson – Control’ inspired curls give the singer a more edgy style. The 26-year-old “King of Hearts” singer tweeted photographs of the new look simply captioning them “New Year.”

The singer who has been in a relationship with mogul/rapper Diddy (Sean Combs) was recently spotted with him house hunting in Beverly Hills. The jolly rapper and Cassie were spotted being given a tour of a $24.5 million Beverly Hills mansion. The historic house, which sits on two acres, was originally owned by Harry Cohn, the legendary founder of Columbia Pictures.

In more recent years it functioned as the home of Guess? founder Georges Marciano, and is being sold of as part of his bankruptcy proceedings.
It was put on the market for $24.5million, but film-maker Jerry has reportedly had a $23million offer accepted. And Diddy may decide he does not want to lose face by being outbid for the seven bedroom property.

Eva Mendes dresses in a floaty floral frock… but still manages to shows off her sexy curves!

At first glance, her floaty floral frock looked somewhat on the dowdy side. But on further inspection, Eva Mendes’s summery printed day dress expertly displayed the actress’s dangerous curves as she went shopping in Los Angeles on Saturday. The 38-year-old has slipped into the patchwork and printed long-sleeve attire to go shopping at the Locali Conscious Convenience store for organic food.

Eva, who has a penchant for vintage dressing, paired the ensemble with beige wedges and a brown and tan leather shoulder bag. The Cuban star wore her glossy brown locks in a gorgeous wavy style and shielded her eyes with charcoal-rimmed sunglasses. All eyes were on the actress as she left the Hollywood eatery early in the evening and headed home, no doubt to hunky partner Ryan Gosling.

The couple were recently apart over the New Year’s period because of work commitments. Ryan and Eva have been dating for over a year since starring in the gritty drama The Place Beyond The Pines together. The movie is a crash-course collision of nonstop action, drama and romance. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Kris Jenner and Khloe Kardashian are mirror images of each other’s misery at LA Clippers game…

Mother and daughter looked so glum even though their team won. Front row seats at a basketball game are supposed to be fun and exciting, but for Kris Jenner and her famous offspring Khloe Kardashian the experience proved to be the opposite. The reality stars sat through the Los Angeles Clippers vs Washington Wizards game at Staples Centre wearing miserable expressions.

What’s more surprising is that Khloe’s husband plays on the Clippers team and they won that night, 94 to 87. Khloe, 28, appeared to spend much of the time scanning text messages on her cell phone, and even showed one to Kris with an annoyed look. Kris, 57, meanwhile, stared ahead with legs crossed and eyes narrowed. Perhaps the pair were in the middle of a fight with each other, or with someone else in the family.

While the cause of their moodiness can’t be pinpointed for sure, they certainly were in no mood for a spirited basketball game. Khloe looked dark and dejected in her black ensemble, hugging her coffee-colored handbag close to her chest. Kris fiddled with the huge rock on her left hand while holding an iced tea. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Britain’s Got Talent: Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon brave the elements in flesh exposing outfits…

They say celebrities live in a bubble and it seems Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon really do. The Britain’s Got Talent judges arrived at the London Palladium on Sunday wearing the most inappropriate outfits possible, proving they clearly hadn’t bothered to read the weather forecast.

As the snow fell Amanda looked visibly cold in her backless frock, while Alesha looked equally as chilly in a white suit with nothing beneath it. Goosebumps were practically visible on 41-year-old Amanda as she tried and failed to shelter herself from the elements with a British themed umbrella.

Her dress by Stella McCartney, which fell just below her knees, featured just one long sleeve while the other was left out in -2C cold. But it was when she turned around that the ludicrousness of her dress was revealed as it featured a cut out back with just a flimsy bit of flesh colored material. Her silly outfit didn’t stop there as her black shoes featured a precarious cigarette thin style heel, which was surely dangerous on the snow splattered red carpet. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Kim Kardashian during filming of new reality show: ‘I was causing people to get into physical fights, crying, leaving!’

Her new reality show Kourtney & Kim Take Miami premieres this Sunday night. And it seems that fans of the famous Kardashian sisters are in for a dramatic treat. As Kim has revealed just how much drama she created during filming of the show, which took place last year.

‘This season I really took a look back and I realized how much in everyone’s business I really was, and how nosy I was – to the point that I was causing people to get into…physical fights, crying, leaving, storming out…with the best intentions,’ she admitted. ‘Cause everyone was having issues and I was always trying to bring people together or just make it better.’

Kim added that fans won’t be seeing the moment she and boyfriend Kanye West found out that she was pregnant with their first child:

She’s dabbled in music before, even releasing a single Jam (Turn It Up) last year. And Kim Kardashian once again flexed her singing chops as she enjoyed a night of karaoke whilst attending a private party at Life Star Nightclub, in Abidjan, Ivory Coast on Saturday night. The 32-year-old reality star was seen belting out the tunes in a special VIP area of the club.

But all eyes were hardly on the pregnant star’s performance. The attention was rather diverted to Kim’s fashion choice on the night. The Keeping Up The Kardashians star, who is over three months pregnant, displayed her famous curves in a black peplum dress. The attire barely contained Kim’s cleavage with it’s low-cut and sheer neckline.

The attire barely contained Kim’s cleavage with it’s low-cut and sheer neckline.

Make-up free Sofia Vergara readies herself for an early morning workout…

She is famed for her particularly bounteous curves. So Modern Family favorite Sofia Vergara’s fans will no doubt be a little concerned to see the actress going for an early morning workout session in Los Angeles this weekend. But the canny actress and model was no doubt just working at keeping herself in peak condition when she went for a sweaty session in Beverly Hills on Saturday.

Make-up free, the Colombian star looked in a serious mood as she prepared to work on maintaining the figure that helped make her a multi-millionaire.

Matthew McConaughey: It’s a ‘circus’ with three kids!

Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves have their hands full following the arrival of their new son – and third child – Livingston.

“Another plate at the table… actually he’s not eating at a plate, he’s on mama because he’s only 10 days old,” the 43-year-old actor told Access Hollywood at the New York Film Critics Circle Awards in New York City on Monday night when asked about his new baby.

“It’s getting to be more of circus that’s for sure!” he added. “The first time and second time were charming too. I promise you,” the actor, who was honored for his roles in “Bernie” and “Magic Mike” on Monday, told Access.

The proud dad beamed about his other two kids Levi, 4, and Vida, who turns 3 this month, when asked if his third child was a charm.

Heavily pregnant Amber Rose reads up on home births as she prepares to welcome her first child…

As her due date nears, it is only natural that Amber Rose is thinking more and more about the task ahead of her. And it seems the heavily pregnant first-time mother has some ambitious plans for the birth of her child. Amber was spotted clutching a booklet on home births on Sunday. While it was once the normal practice, giving birth at home fell out of favor in the U.S. in the 40s and today fewer than 1 in 100 women opt for it.

But it is clear that Amber Rose is at least looking into the idea.  While a rare choice in the U.S., giving birth at home remains an option in other developed nations, particularly Holland. Supporters claim it helps a mother bond with her child in a relaxed environment, in which she feels secure. However critics point out that a mother has far fewer pain relief options available, and must be transferred to a hospital if a complication arises, causing a delay in treatment.

Amber looked as if she was due any day as she stepped out on Sunday with her partner Wiz Khalifa in Hollywood. Wearing a black and white clinging maxi dress which highlighted her bump, the 29-year-old model was helped carefully into their car by Wiz. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Ellen Pompeo’s daughter Stella enjoys a day out at the mall with mom and dad…

Ellen Pompeo loves spoiling her little girl. The Grey’s Anatomy star was in a celebratory mood as she stepped out for a day at the mall with the center of her universe, daughter Stella, as well as her husband Chris Ivery. The happy trio were spotted at Westfield Shopping Centre on Saturday, and what was an unseasonably warm winter day for Los Angeles.

Ellen must have been feeling pretty good, now that her hit series has begun it’s ninth season, for she splurged on a pair of helium balloons with cartoon caricatures. The 43-year-old actress held onto both balloons, but three-year-old Stella helped by tugging on the strings. The family stopped by Giggles N’ Hugs, a popular children’s eatery and play area, where Stella got to romp around and act her age.

That’s where Ellen undoubtedly purchased the festive party decor, which also included a set of party plates and cups for later. Ellen looked fit and healthy, wearing light grey jeans, an animal print top and denim jacket, as well as comfy black high-top sneakers. Stella was a cheerful sight in her purple tee with gold design, jean skirt and purple sneakers. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Chelsee Healey hops on a train to London with a full face of make-up… but no lipstick!

She’s done the foundation, the eyebrows, the eye shadow, even the eyelashes. But one thing Chelsee Healey seemed to forget during her make-up routine was the addition of some lipstick. The usually glossy actress traveled lip-color free to London on Monday. Leaving from Manchester Piccadilly, Chelsee jumped on a train carrying a Louis Vuitton weekend bag.

Obviously dressed for the cold weather, the Waterloo Road actress wore a double layer of fur: the first on a knitted jumper, the second on her black coat. Her raven haired extensions were covered by a black Trilby hat that matched the perfectly lined color of her eyebrows.

Chelsee had obviously been looking forward to the trip down south all day, as she repeatedly tweeted about it on the social networking site. And she was in very good spirits due to the hangover-free weekend she’d just enjoyed.

Sultry star Nicole Scherzinger leaves little to the imagination in sheer dress to promote new single…

She was often the picture of demure style on this year’s X Factor, in her long flowing gowns, but for her return to the studio Nicole Scherzinger slipped back into more typical pop diva wear. And what better way than to grab some attention for your new single than wearing a daring mesh dress, which left little to the imagination.

The fiery singer wore a very revealing tight black dress and a struck a variety of prowling poses as she shot her new video in west London. Eagle eyed X Factor fans will remember the star invited her boys – James Arthur and Jahmene Douglas – to the shoot of her video during last year’s series. Both boy’s jaw’s dropped as they watched the Hawaiian-born beauty work her magic on camera.

But these sultry shots show off a rather different side to the Don’t Hold Your Breath hitmaker and often hyperactive X Factor judge. In one sch-mazing shot Nicole poses provocatively, showing off her pert derriere, in the sheer dress, with just a short jacket protecting her modesty. In another the dazzling beauty, who is dating Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton, looks virtually naked in the revealing dress. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Britain’s Got Talent: Dixon is a cool in high-shine skirt and print top while Amanda Holden warms things up in orange!

They’ve been going for similar outfit options for the Britain’s Got Talent auditions so far.

But as Alesha Dixon and Amanda Holden arrived for the London stint of the ITV show, they couldn’t have looked more different,
Alesha, 34, paid homage to the cold weather sweeping the nation in a ‘CHILL’ slogan top and high-shine metallic miniskirt, while Amanda opted for a warmer color palette in an orange and blue sleeveless dress.

Former Strictly Come Dancing judge Alesha teamed her outfit with a pair of white pointed court shoes, and finished off her look by wearing her hair in a high ponytail, complete with a roll quiff at the front. Adding a splash of colour, Alesha sported red lipstick, and kept the rest of her make-up simple. Amanda, meanwhile, paired her ladylike outfit with a pair of matching orange suede court shoes, and wore her newly-brunette bob teased into curls.

And while Amanda’s dress was intricately patterned from the front, it had a simple navy block color from the back. The 41-year-old mother-of-two finished off her outfit with a thin black belt which highlighted her slender figure and tiny waist. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Make-up free Eva Mendes takes the dogs for a late-night walk as Ryan Gosling pops into Seven Eleven…

Together they are one of Hollywood’s hottest power couples. But it isn’t all champagne and roses for Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes. Instead the couple were spotted fitting in some chores as they took their dogs for a late night walk around their Los Angeles neighborhood on Sunday night.

Eva had her hands crossed in front of her chest as she took her dog Hugo and Ryan’s dog George for a stroll along a narrow patch of grass. There was nothing very Hollywood about the scene, which saw a dressed down Eva walking along waiting for the dogs to finish their business. The make-up free star wore her hair pulled back into a simple ponytail, and was dressed in flowered pants and a wrap cardigan.

Meanwhile Ryan looked every bit his heartthrob self as he popped into the 7-Eleven to stock up on drinks. He picked up three Cokes, all full fat, for him, Eva, and his assistant, who was holding George’s lead. Eva, 38, and new beau Ryan, 32, will soon be steaming up the big screen in the upcoming crime drama The Place Beyond the Pines. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Spotted: Sandra Bullock toting her two-year-old son Louis to the barber…

He’s growing bigger by the day – but for now, Sandra Bullock’s toddler son Louis is still not too big to be carried. The Hope Floats star was spotted toting her little man on Monday as she took him to the barbers in Los Angeles. Sandra didn’t seem mind the extra 30 or so pounds as she hefted Louis to Rudy’s Barbershop.

The 48-year-old star is in great shape, but kept those firm, flexed muscles hidden beneath the black cardigan she was wearing. Sandra’s casual ensemble also included a white tank and baggy jeans cuffed at the shins, perhaps to better show off her fantastic studded black loafers. Louis, whom Sandra adopted two years ago this month, was similarly dressed in a white crew-necked T-shirt with black stripes and jeans.

The Oscar-winning star of The Blind Side wore her jet-black hair straight and long, so it was a good guess that Louis was the one getting the haircut that day. However, after walking through the shop once, Sandra was spotted leaving with Louis’ hair looking exactly the same it was. It’s not clear why Sandra left without getting a haircut, but perhaps there was a wait that she had no time for. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Kim Kardashian rocks a side parting as she jets to France to join Kanye West at fashion week…

She’s only just had her new bangs cut for real. But it appears Kim Kardashian is already learning that while it might be fashionable, a fringe can be a pain to style. The reality star neatly hid her trendy new hair beneath a side parting as she stepped out for the Stephane Rolland Fashion Show in Paris on Tuesday.

Kim teamed the striking hair style with one of her favorite black and white outfits, complete with a handy fur, which the pregnant star clutched in front of her growing bump. She is no stranger to the designer, having worn a selection of his couture looks for a cover shoot for Hia, an Arabian women’s lifestyle magazine.

Kim tweeted a picture of the flowing gowns on the catwalk, writing: ‘What an amazing Stephane Rolland show!!!!’ Taking to her Twitter page she teased her fans: ‘Date night in Paris.’

After a money-spinning promotional trip to the Ivory Coast in Africa, Kim wasted no time jetting to France to join her fashion-loving boyfriend Kanye West, who is in town for the shows. While Kim was earning money on her African adventure Kanye had been spotted sitting forlorn as he watched shows alone from a prized front row spot. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Britain’s Got Talent: Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon wear vibrant looks…

Each audition is another opportunity to show off another show-stopping look and on Tuesday Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon made a bright effort to get noticed at the Britain’s Got Talent auditions.

Both female judges stepped out at the London Palladium wearing eye-catching ensembles and the pair clearly hadn’t called ahead to co-coordinated their outfits. Amanda, 41, wore a neon melon Italia power stretch dress that boasted a white reflective panel down the front, adding optical illusion detail. The garment by Milly retails at £440 and Amanda teamed the vibrant frock with a pair of black pointed heels.

Alesha had also selected a bold look for the day’s filming wearing a houndstooth patterned jumpsuit, a dusty pink jacket and a pair of pink and orange heels. The jumpsuit boasted a plunging neckline and cup detail and the singer teamed the garment with a chunky gold necklace. Amanda arrived in great spirits and seems to have put Sunday’s altercation with Simon Cowell firmly behind her. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Ellen Pompeo, husband Chris and daughter Stella have a fun day at the mall!

Ellen Pompeo loves spoiling her little girl. The Grey’s Anatomy star was in a celebratory mood as she stepped out for a day at the mall with the center of her universe, daughter Stella, as well as her husband Chris Ivery. The happy trio were spotted at Westfield Shopping Center on Saturday, and what was an unseasonably warm winter day for Los Angeles.

Ellen must have been feeling pretty good, now that her hit series has begun it’s ninth season, for she splurged on a pair of helium balloons with cartoon caricatures. The 43-year-old actress held onto both balloons, but three-year-old Stella helped by tugging on the strings. The family stopped by Giggles N’ Hugs, a popular children’s eatery and play area, where Stella got to romp around and act her age.

That’s where Ellen undoubtedly purchased the festive party decor, which also included a set of party plates and cups for later. Ellen looked fit and healthy, wearing light grey jeans, an animal print top and denim jacket, as well as comfy black high-top sneakers. Stella was a cheerful sight in her purple tee with gold design, jean skirt and purple sneakers. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Oops! Nicole Scherzinger commits a fashion NO!

She normally gets it right when it comes to her sartorial choices but on Tuesday Nicole Scherzinger suffered a slip up in the style stakes. The singer cut a chic figure in a houndstooth jacket as she arrived at KISS FM radio station. But as she undid her coat to pose for pictures she revealed tight leggings with her top tucked in, a rare unflattering look for the Hawaiian born singer.

The singer teamed the outfit with a pair of Stella McCartney heels and a pair of round thick-rimmed sunglasses. And adding a pop of color to the monochrome attire Nicole had a coral red shade of lipstick across her pout.
Nicole is in town to promote her new single Boomerang which will premiere on air on Thursday ahead of its release in March.

The former Pussycat Doll showed off her shape in a series of raunchy pictures for the single, wearing a mesh dress and no underwear. Nicole has also been spending some quality time with her boyfriend Lewis Hamilton in recent weeks. After a hectic 2012 that saw the couple spend weeks apart, owing to their individual schedules the pair spent a relaxing break in Hawaii over Christmas and New Year. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Halle Berry and daughter Nahla enjoy some girl time at Disneyland!

With all the drama surrounding her custody battle in recent months, a fun distraction is just what the doctor ordered. So Halle Berry took daughter Nahla to the happiest place on earth on Monday as they visited the Disneyland theme park. The pair were seen at the children’s venue in Anaheim, California, enjoying a day out with just the girls.

Leaving Halle’s fiancé Olivier Martinez as well as the four-year-old girl’s father Gabriel Aubrey out of the equation, they were instead accompanied by another mother and her child. Halle, 46, looked casual in a grey long-sleeve top and blue jeans with black buckled boots. The actress wrapped a black jumper around her waist and donned a stylish fedora hat on her head.

The Cloud Atlas star chatted with a friend as they pushed their strollers though the Bank Holiday crowds. They got a little help as they were accompanied by their own chirpy guide to the park. Nahla was clearly eager to stay close to her small pal, at one point reaching her hand out of the pushchair to hold on to the other little one. Halle will soon be busy promoting the upcoming comedy Movie 43. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Salma Hayek speaks about living away from Hollywood as she stuns in red at Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week…

She relocated from Hollywood to France after tying the knot with Gallic billionaire François-Henri Pinault a few years ago. And it appears actress Salma Hayek has no regrets, insisting she’s loving life in Europe. Of course, one of the main perks of being married to the fashion tycoon is unlimited access to the world’s top fashion houses and guaranteed front row at Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week.

Since it kicked off over the weekend, Salma has been hitting the fashion shows, including Giambattista Valli on Monday night. The Mexican actress showed off her fabulous figure in a plunging red dress and black boots as she joined US Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour at the Valli Haute Couture Spring-Summer 2013 show.

Her appearance on the front row comes as Salma spoke about her new life in Paris. She told People magazine: ‘It’s great. This is a good time in my life. Paris is a beautiful city.

Sportscaster Ahmad Rashad BARRED from his home – days after messy split from millionaire wife Sale Johnson!

Ahmad Rashad is no longer welcome at his home – after his soon to be ex-wife had him booted from their property that they once shared in a lavish Florida complex. Days after reports that his marriage to former model Sale Johnson was crumbling, she has taken drastic measures to keep Rashad away, including hiring guards.

Their home, which is reportedly worth about $5 million, is on the Bears Club complex in Jupiter, a collection of multimillion-dollar homes that NBA legend Michael Jordan also calls home. Golf superstar Tiger Woods, who has been through some marriage troubles of his own, also lives nearby.

A source told Gossip Extra that Rashad was recently able to get through the gate when he arrived at the home, but ‘guards escorted him out’ as he tried to get into the clubhouse. It’s the first salvo in what is believed to be an ugly divorce between the former football player and his wife.

A source told Gossip Extra: ‘Sale cut Ahmad off from all the clubs they’re members of, and had the fob that gets him through the guard gate at the Bears Club deactivated.’ 

The exclusive gated community was founded in 1999 by legendary golfer Jack Nicklaus and his wife Barbara, and is built around a golf course. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Kim Kardashian teams daring thigh-high boots with a faux fur coat as she and Kanye West continue Paris love-in with romantic date night!

She may be three months pregnant with her first child, but it doesn’t look as though Kim Kardashian will be shopping for maternity wear anytime soon. Heading out on a romantic date night with rapper beau Kanye West, the 32-year-old socialite vamped it up in a pair of sexy thigh-high boots as the couple headed to Lasserre restaurant in Paris on Tuesday evening.

Teaming her daring footwear with a striking faux fur coat and a black minidress, the reality star proved she doesn’t plan to let her sassy style slip in the near future. Kim – who has been dating Kanye for around nine months – completed her look with a pair of fierce leather gloves and her wavy raven locks swept into a stylish side-parting.

Although she kept her pregnancy curves hidden under her all-black ensemble, the star was sporting the unmistakable radiant glow of an expectant mother-to-be. As usual, dapper Kanye had made sure to coordinate his outfit with his girlfriend’s look; teaming a pair of leather pants with a simple black blazer jacket, a cozy grey scarf and camel suede fringe-detail shoes. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Ice-T’s model wife is ready for a baby: ‘I want a little Coco!’

Coco Austin and Ice-T are planning to start a family. The stars of Ice Loves Coco, who have been married for over ten years, recently spoke to In Touch magazine about expanding from two to three. And the model-turned-burlesque dancer has already picked out a name if it’s a little girl: Chanel.

Tinging similarities to the luxury French fashion house founded by Coco Chanel, she told the tabloid: ‘I want a little girl! We already have the name — Chanel. I want a little doll of my own! I could teach her to walk in heels and do her hair,’ she said.

Coco, who is currently starring in Las Vegas revue Peepshow, said she is looking forward to sharing tips and tricks of the beauty business if she has a daughter. But she’s not necessarily ready if her imaginary child were to follow in her footsteps, adding that she’d ‘want her to be a lawyer’. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Rochelle Humes and bandmates ‘The Saturdays’ launch their reality show in the UK…

Her band The Saturdays are trying to crack America and while Rochelle Humes says she would love to enjoy similar success to Beyoncé, when it comes to listening to her own music in the bedroom department, that’s where the similarity ends.

The Saturday’s singer said ‘she would never listen’ to the band’s pop tracks to get in the mood, unlike the Beyoncé who admitted to GQ that she pops on her track 1+1 before making love to husband Jay-Z. However that may not be the case for the music made by Rochelle’s husband, Marvin Humes, and his boyband JLS.

Speaking to the MailOnline at the launch of their show at the Soho Hotel in London on Wednesday, the expectant mother said: ‘We definitely don’t listen to our music in bed. We’d more likely listen to a JLS track!’ 

The same can be said for Frankie Sandford who joked at the idea of putting on one of their 13 singles before getting it on with boyfriend Wayne Bridge: ‘Can you imagine listening to Higher before having sex?’Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Halle Berry dresses down as she takes her sick cat to the vet…

Her 2004 movie starring Sharon Stone and Benjamin Bratt may have flopped in comparison to Michelle Pfeiffer’s 1992 version. But when it comes to her off-screen antics Halle Berry is the ultimate Catwoman. The actress came to rescue on Wednesday when her pet got ill, racing to the veterinarian surgery in Culver City, California.

The 46-year-old didn’t even have time to attend to her appearance before taking her white and ginger-haired feline to see medical experts. She simply slipped on a cap over her cropped hair and donned jeans and T-shirt for the outing. The star teamed her clothing with buckled boots and the fresh-faced star wore aviator sunglasses over her eyes.

Halle seemed much happier as she left the building with the appropriate medicines than when she went inside after rushing from her car. The screen star forced a smile as an onlooker cooed over her cat and she balanced the carried and the prescription drugs. She can now rest easy knowing her four-year-old girl Nahla won’t have to come home from school and worry about the health of her beloved moggy. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Kim Kardashian teams her fur coat with jogging bottoms… while Kanye hides behind a homemade ski mask!

It’s not like Kim Kardashian to be underdressed. So it comes as a surprise to see her heading out for dinner in Paris dressed in jogging bottoms and a simple vest top. Perhaps the reality star thought her extraordinarily expensive accessories spoke for themselves – she completed her look with a luxe fur coat and a designer bag.

While Kim was rocking an all-black look, her boyfriend Kanye West was feeling very colorful for once. The rapper hid behind a bright red ski mask as he attended the Maison Martin Margiela Haute-Couture show as part of Paris Fashion Week. The unusual accessory appeared homemade – with the slash apparently freshly cut through the wool.

But despite his unusual facial wear there was no mistaking Kanye in his crisp white suit and black overcoat. The couple have been busy enjoying themselves in Paris following Kim’s promotional trip to the Ivory Coast. On Tuesday night they were seen dining together at the upmarket Lasserre restaurant. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Nigel Barker and wife Cristen attend DuJour February issue launch!

He was publicly humiliated when he was fired by Tyra Banks from America’s Next Top Model last year. But it seems Nigel Barker has moved on from his disappointment, as he was spotted tenderly smooching his wife Cristen at a fashion event in New York on Wednesday.

The 40-year-old model turned photographer seemed to be having a great time as he enjoyed the glamorous atmosphere. The Londoner looked rather dapper in a black suit, while his spouse looked fragrant in a black and white shadow patterned dress.

And he was certainly in demand, as model Coco Rocha also grabbed him to make sure she had a snap taken with the fashion photographer at the DuJour February issue launch at posh restaurant The Darby. The 24-year-old Canadian beauty certainly stole plenty of glances in an attractive black pantsuit. Ironically, Nigel has revealed that becoming a member of the America’s Next Top Model’s judging panel cost him work.

He said: ‘When I was approached about Top Model, my career was on a real upward spiral. I had just done a bunch of great editorials and was getting calls from the likes of Jil Sander and Versace. It crossed my mind that if I joined the show, it could be considered selling out and for a while there, it was tough. A lot of people wouldn’t go near me.’ Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Heidi Klum visits The Tonight Show with Jay Leno… then dances on Jay Leno’s desk!

Back in 2003, Heidi Klum flashed her $8 million Victoria’s Secret bra while on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

And the German supermodel’s appearance on the late-night talk show Wednesday did not disappoint, as the mother-of-four danced atop Jay’s desk while wearing an ultra-sheer LBD. As she shimmied to Rihanna’s Only Girl, both of the 39-year-old’s toned thighs were clearly visible to the viewers thanks to the gown’s see-through panels.

‘Always love chatting with my friend @jayleno on the #tonightshow,’ the Project Runway host tweeted to her 1.2 million followers.

Heidi had also danced on a table at Harvey Weinstein’s Golden Globes after-party where a bewildered-looking Nathan Fillion made sure the teetering star didn’t fall. The celebrity pals had evidently made a bet that if the Canadian hunk dropped his pants, she’d dance on the table.

Klum, who appeared on Leno alongside Seann William Scott, was on the show to promote the eleventh season of Project Runway, which premieres January 25. When she’s not dancing on tables, Heidi has her hands full with her eight-year-old daughter Leni and her three children with pop singer Seal – seven-year-old son Henry, six-year-old Johan, and three-year-old Lou. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Tom Cruise’s son Connor celebrates turning 18 with a DJ gig… as big sister Isabella cheers him on…

It was a special occasion on Wednesday, as Tom Cruise’s son Connor celebrated turning 18. And the DJ was in the right place for it, as he no doubt got to make the most of being of legal drinking age in London. Connor had a DJ gig and took to the decks at the trendy Boujis nightclub in South Kensington.

And the celebrity offspring had his biggest fan there to watch him – in the form of big sister Isabella, 20. Connor and Isabella, who have always had a close relationship, were adopted by Tom and second wife Nicole Kidman. Connor was dressed casually to celebrate his birthday and wore a red plaid shirt along with black pants and matching lace-up shoes.

Joined by a group of friends in the club they drank Grey Goose Vodka and had some crack baby shots, which went down well. He and Isabella both wrapped up warm to combat the cold weather, with Connor in a simple black coat and his sister sporting a khaki parka. Isabella also wore a simple black tank top, matching skinny jeans tucked into oxblood Doc Martens and a navy beanie hat to keep her head warm. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Biggest Loser’s Sam Poueu expecting first child a year after horrific fall: ‘God kept me alive so we could have our baby!’

Just over a year ago their future looked bleak. But Biggest Loser couple Sam Poueu and Stephanie Anderson are expecting a first baby together. It comes just over a year after Sam almost died after falling 54 feet from a fire escape. However Stephanie helped nurse her man back to health, and now the married couple of nine months will welcome their first child in July.

Personal trainer Sam, 27, told US Weekly: ‘Just from the experience of her being my caretaker post-accident, it was a dead giveaway that she’d be a fantastic mother. That was an early sign for me that our child is going to have the best mother ever.’

The selfless former contestant, who bonded with Sam as they both battled the bulge on the hit NBC show, had quite the task on her hands. Sam woke up in hospital with a punctured lung, severed kidney, shattered pelvis, fractured tibia, and traumatic brain injury after his accident in September 2011. But he said their good news has put all of their bad memories in the past.

He said: ‘Given everything we both have been through this past year, this [pregnancy] eclipsed everything. It put everything back into perspective. I felt like this was one of the many reasons God kept me alive during the five-story fall, so I could be the father of my wife’s baby.’

And his wife revealed he is now returning in kinds some of the care he received from her during his recovery. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Kim and Khloe Kardashian lash out at father’s widow over allegations of abuse: ‘She’s a piece of trash!’

Kim and Khloe Kardashian have blasted their late father’s widow for a tabloid story which accuses Kris Jenner of child abuse.

Ellen Kardashian – who married Robert just before he died in 2003 following a battle with cancer – claims to have found old diaries belonging to the late lawyer which slam his former wife Kris Jenner as a terrible mother to their kids Khloe, Kim, Kourtney and Rob.

Mariah Carey wipes her tears after ‘spectacular’ American Idol audition: ‘He made me cry!’

Tantrums were replaced by tears on Thursday’s American Idol when an unemployed teenager brought the house down in Louisiana. After weeks of catfights between Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey, judges managed to put their feuding aside for a round of soulful auditions in Baton Rouge.

By far the strongest act of the night was 19-year-old Burnell Taylor, the last act to perform on the bayou. Coming from a musical family in New Orleans, Burnell described how he lost everything in Hurricane Katrina. Wearing a pair of turquoise shorts, Burnell sang I’m Here from The Color Purple – a film about the life of black females in the south during the 1930s.

‘It was an eye-opener and it made me appreciate the things that I do have,’ said the humble teenager.

The poignant performance was too much for mum-of-twins Mariah, who openly wept: ‘Burnell made me cry, Burnell’s tone is ridiculous,’ said the multi-platinum artist, as she wiped away her tears.‘I loved it… I don’t even want to…’ she stuttered. ‘I felt every word you sang. Just spectacular,’ added the 42-year-old Glitter performer. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Alicia Keys celebrates 32nd birthday at Madrid’s 40 Principles Awards in sheer plunging gown!

She looked like she’d stepped away from the microphone at a vintage Motown recording. Or perhaps just away from the window in an atmospheric film noir, whatever mystery Alicia Keys managed to convey in this stunning black dress… it was certainly beguiling.

The Girl on Fire, who turned 32 today Madrid’s 40 Principles Awards, was like a blast from the past in the stunning fitted gown that tapered into an interesting diaphanous bodice that looked a bit like a bra. Her hair was pure ’60s and set off nicely with a pair of chain-link earrings. And unlike Taylor Swift, who changed from her stunning Kaufman Franco gown into preppy brogues and sweater, Keys took her sultry look onto the stage.

The mother-of-one swapped her dress for pants but kept the theme of the look by wearing a sheer black top that showed her bra while she performed and accepted the rather impressive Best US Composer of the Last Decade award. Her hair was pure ’60s and set off nicely with a pair of chain-link earrings. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Kris Humphries ‘turns down Kim Kardashian’s $10 million offer to settle their divorce?’

She previously claimed she felt ‘handcuffed’ to Kris Humphries because he refused to divorce her. But it seems Kim Kardashian’s cuffs are set to stay on a little longer, as the basketball player has reportedly turned down a $10million offer to settle their case.

According to RadarOnline.com, Kris, who is asking for an annulment on the basis of fraud, refused to accept the monetary payment in order to bring their lengthy divorce battle to an end.

A source close to proceedings told the website: ‘After Kim filed for divorce, she offered Kris a $10 million payoff, with the agreement that he would not continue to pursue an annulment to their marriage on the grounds of fraud. The source added: ‘He wants to be able to marry in a church again, with a clear conscience, when he finds someone special.’

However, Kris is said to have turned down the offer because it has ‘never been about money’.

‘Kris is deeply religious and he believes that the only way he can do that is if his marriage to Kim is annulled.’

A spokesperson for Kim has denied that she made the offer. And contrasting reports on the battle on TMZ.com suggest that instead of making any such offer, Kim is in fact refusing to pay Kris anything. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Kim Kardashian, Kourtney, fresh breast milk, psoriasis: ‘I don’t want to do this!’

When Kim Kardashian’s psoriasis failed to clear up after using numerous lotion and potions, the reality star turned to her sister Kourtney for help. And in a new outrageous episode of the pair’s reality show, Kourtney & Kim Take Miami, the duo reveal their home remedy for the 32-year-old’s skin condition.

However, she wasn’t quite expecting it to come this time, as she puts it: ‘fresh off the boob. These spots have been, like, really continuous… for like six months they haven’t gone away…so the fact that they’re white is a good sign,’ she says. ‘So I just want to keep on trying it.’ Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Pregnant Kim Kardashian is in full plume as she shops for more jewels with Kanye West…

Since dating Kanye West she has stepped out in an array of unusual fashion choices. But Kim Kardashian’s latest outfit may well be her most outrageous yet. The pregnant reality star stepped out in a giant bird-inspired white feathered ball gown as she went shopping with her beau in Paris on Friday.

The dress, which would probably look more appropriate on the catwalk, hardly did the curvy star’s figure any favors with it’s billowing skirt. The attire also appeared to be a tad too tight around the 32-year-old’s bust, creating tiny folds in the fabric just underneath her cleavage. Kim paired the ball gown-style dress with a cream linen jacket which, despite being chilly in the French capital, she opted to drape over her shoulders.

The raven-haired star accessorized with a pair of black stilettos and wore her glossy locks out in her usual straight style. In comparison, Kanye meanwhile looked relatively dressed down in a pair of black pants, grey T-shirt and black jacket. The rapper wore a scarf around his neck and smart black shoes on his feet.

She has been labelled a ‘piece of trash’ by her stepdaughters. Now Ellen Kardashian has fired back at reality television personalities Kim and Khloe Kardashian, accusing them attacking her online with vicious lies.

She may be 43-years old with a ten year career in showbusiness, but Jennifer Lopez can clearly compete with even the youngest pretender in the style stakes. The singer and actress stepped out at a promotional screening of her new film Parker showing off her famous behind in an eye popping Kaufman Franco gown.

The floor length white dress featured a number of strategically placed slits which showed J-Lo had forgone underwear for her night out in Las Vegas on Thursday. With her long brown hair pulled into a loose updo – black eye make-up and pale lipstick added to her striking appearance.

The moment Obama learned he’d won four more years: White House releases picture of President taking Romney’s concession call…

This photograph shows the moment that President Obama learned he had won re-election against his Republican challenger Mitt Romney.

Taking the call perched on a chair at the Fairmont Millennium Park Hotel in Chicago, the president was apparently wished well by his defeated opponent.

The historic image was captured by the Obama administration’s photographer Pete Souza and was posted onto the official White House Flickr account for all to see.

Body language experts have had a field day with the signs that the just-triumphant president is giving off to the camera.

They claim that by perching on the back of the chair, the president is implicitly suggesting that he does not expect the telephone call to be a lengthy one. Interpreting Obama’s standing rather than sitting position, the experts have noted the two candidates frosty relationship and that the president is not sitting down to talk to his rival.

More obviously the president’s fingers are pressed to one of his ears, which may suggest that the room in the hotel is very noisy and that his re-election team have erupted in rapture. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Obama insists he won’t back down on taxes as Republicans in the House block cuts for middle-class…

Republicans in the House are blocking a bill that would prevent a tax increase on the first $250,000 of income earned by all Americans, President Barack Obama said last week Saturday. The Democratic-controlled Senate has approved the measure, but Obama said House Republicans have ‘put forward an unbalanced plan that actually lowers rates for the wealthiest Americans.’

Obama supports a plan to raise taxes on families earning more than $250,000. In his weekly radio and Internet address, Obama said ‘the math just doesn’t work’ on the GOP plan. Obama’s comments mark the fourth time since his re-election that he has used the radio address to push for middle-class tax cuts as part of a plan to avert a looming fiscal cliff – and his most sharply partisan tone.

Obama said his plan to raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans should come as no surprise to Republicans or anyone else.

‘After all, this was a central question in the election. A clear majority of Americans – Democrats, Republicans and independents – agreed with a balanced approach that asks something from everyone, but a little more from those who can most afford it,’ Obama said.

His plan is ‘the only way to put our economy on a sustainable path without asking even more from the middle class,’ Obama said. It also is the only plan he is willing to sign, the president said.

Obama’s comments came as House Speaker John Boehner said Friday there has been no progress in negotiations to avert the ‘fiscal cliff,’ a combination of automatic tax increases and spending cuts set to take effect in January. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Obama and Boehner try to thrash out deal to end fiscal cliff deadlock as Republicans set to agree to higher taxes…

President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner met Sunday at the White House to discuss the ongoing negotiations over the impending ‘fiscal cliff,’ the first meeting between just the two leaders since Election Day.

Spokesmen for both Obama and Boehner said they agreed to not release details of the conversation, but emphasized that the lines of communication remain open.

The meeting comes as the White House and Congress try to break an impasse over finding a way to stop a combination of automatic tax increases and spending cuts scheduled to kick in at the beginning of next year.

Obama met in November with Boehner, as well as Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.

The president spoke by telephone with Reid and in person with Pelosi on Friday.

Obama has been pushing higher tax rates on the wealthiest Americans as one way to reduce the deficit – a position Boehner and other House Republicans have been steadfastly against.

Republicans are demanding steeper cuts in costly government entitlement programs like Medicare and Social Security.

One GOP senator said Sunday that Senate Republicans would probably agree to higher tax rates on the wealthiest Americans if it meant getting a chance to overhaul entitlement programs.

The comments by Bob Corker of Tennessee – a fiscal conservative who has been gaining stature in the Senate as a pragmatic deal broker – puts new pressure on Boehner and other Republican leaders to rethink their long-held assertion that even the very rich shouldn’t see their rates go up next year.

Obama looks to use political capital in ‘fiscal cliff’ negotiations…

President Barack Obama is trying to spend what former President George W. Bush called “political capital.” That’s the good will and clout you get from a re-election victory. Obama’s predecessor boasted after his 2004 win that he’d amassed political capital and planned to “spend it” in his second term.

Obama is now trying to do the same ting, standing firm with Republicans in negotiations on averting the year-end fiscal cliff and refusing to budge on his insistence that top tax rates — not just overall tax revenues— go up in any bipartisan fiscal deal.

Clearly, his re-election win has given him more leverage.

He campaigned on letting Bush-era tax cuts expire for households earning over $250,000 a year. And polls show that if Congress can’t agree in the next three weeks and the economy goes over the “fiscal cliff” triggering large automatic spending cuts and tax increases, more voters will blame Republicans than Democrats.

Obama’s second-term agenda will be shadowed by budget woes!

Even if President Obama succeeds in getting Republicans to agree to tax hikes on the wealthy as part of a “fiscal cliff” deal, the country’s grim budget realities will still cast a long shadow — limiting his ambitions as he begins plotting a second-term agenda.

Any agreement is likely to result in less than the $1.6 trillion in new taxes over the next decade that Obama requested in his initial offer to House Republicans, and White House aides are signaling to allies that any new money from taxes would be used almost entirely for deficit reduction — not for ambitious, new spending programs or government expansions.

Where Obama entered office four years ago planning to seize a moment of economic crisis as an opportunity for transformational policies such as the $800 billion stimulus and his health care overhaul, he begins his second four years with few, if any, similarly expansive or costly prospects.

GOP activist: “Obama needs teleprompter ‘because he fried his brain on drugs!”

Cathie Adams, former Texas GOP chair, gave a pre-election speech this November claiming that a “Marxist” President Obama needed a teleprompter “because he friend his brain on drugs.”

In a presentation at a Grassroots America We The People “Call To Action” meeting Adams repeatedly referred to the president as “Barack Hussein Obama” and claimed the president was using his “green agenda” to cover his true agenda of “Marxism,” reported Right Wing Watch.

Adams went to far as to note the way Obama “glared at Mitt Romney,” and that she was so offended she wanted to “go up and just smack his face.” Concluding the address, Adams blamed the president for the struggling economy, and claimed that the legalization of marijuana as unconstitutional.

She questioned the voting to legalize the drug in Colorado: “And if we legalize it, will we empty out our jails and will we be safe for ever more? No. I’m telling you, Barack Hussein Obama has got to have a teleprompter because he fried his brain on drugs.”

Obama tells Barbara Walters that he’s ‘confident’ REpublicans will cave in on taxes in ‘fiscal cliff’ deal…

President Barack Obama said on Tuesday night that that he is ‘confident’ the Republican party will cave in on taxes and break the deadlock on a dead over the ‘fiscal cliff’. Speaking to Barbara Walters on ABC News on Wednesday, Obama said he believed that Republicans would eventually join Democrats to extend current rates for 98 percent of earners before the deadline in 19 days time.

‘I’m pretty confident that Republicans would not hold middle class taxes hostage to trying to protect tax cuts for high-income individuals,’he said.

He added ‘I remain optimistic. I’d like to see a big package. But the most important thing we can do is make sure that middle class taxes do not go up on January 1.’

But John Boehner accused the president of ‘slow-walking’ towards the cliff, as reported separately by ABC.

‘Where are the president’s spending cuts? The longer the White House slow-walks this process, the closer our economy gets to the cliff,’ Boehner said on the floor of the House of Representatives.

After the men met to discuss the economic problem on December 9, Boehner said: ‘It was a nice meeting, it was cordial, but we’re still waiting for the White House to identify what spending cuts the president is willing to make as part of the ‘balanced approach’ he promised the American people.’

Talks and counter-offers are ongoing between Obama and Boehner as they try to work out a way to forestall next year’s automatic tax increases and spending cuts that could hurt the economy.

Obama and Boehner met on Sunday at the White House. The White House then offered a new proposal lowering its proposed figure for tax revenue from $1.6 trillion to $1.4 trillion. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Diana Ross braves a broken ankle to sing for President Obama in TNT Christmas special…

Just last week, she was pushed out of LAX in a wheelchair after breaking her ankle at a party in early November.

But ever the professional, Diana Ross was in fighting form on Sunday, as she took to the stage to sing for President Obama at the annual TNT Christmas Special in Washington DC .

Still recovering from her injury, the veteran singer dressed up in a long royal blue gown complete with oversized gold pendant and earrings for the festive show.

She later changed outfit to appear onstage with the President, his wife Michelle and their daughters Malia and Sasha.

Sporting a more festive black and white gown with silver embroidery, the star performed a duet with actress and singer Megan Hilty.

And her floor length gowns successfully hid any sign of a plaster cast on her ankle.

The 68-year-old proved she is as good as her word – after previously reassuring fans she would be at the celebration.

Her spokesman told Mail Online earlier this month: ‘Ms Ross accidentally slipped and broke her ankle at the end of a show in India in November. She is fine and has been recovering. She will be performing next week for the President in Washington DC.’ Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

First Lady Michelle Obama gives presents to children… but forgets to put on a smile!

Tugging a huge red sack stuffed with toys, First Lady Michelle Obama delivered about 900 gifts to the Marine Corps’ Toys for Tots campaign but perhaps lost in the seriousness of her mission, forgot to wear her smile.

Taking a few minutes to thank military families at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling in Washington, D.C. Mrs Obama shared how they make her job ‘easy’ in their representation of the U.S. as well as in inspiring her role in the White House.

‘The military families are what inspires my work,’ she said at the annual toy drive started by a Marine reservist and his wife. Somehow you’re always the ones who find the extra hours in the day to give back, above and beyond what life has thrown your way anyway,’ she said.

Among the unwrapped toys donated today by White House employees and American CEOs were Mrs Obama’s two daughters 14-year-old Malia and 11-year-old Sasha, according to the White House.

Mrs Obama along with Jill Biden, wife of Vice President Joe Biden, started the Joining Forces campaign in 2011 to honor and support military families. Before slapping her hands together to get to work, Mrs Obama wished volunteers and service members at the military base ‘Happy Holidays.’ Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Outrage as Gangnam sensation Psy performs for President at charity concert…

President Barack Obama has been pictured shaking hands with a South Korean rapper who sang about wanting to kill American soldiers. PSY, born Park Jae-sang, performed at a White House charity event on Sunday, despite a deeply controversial performance in 2004 that has shocked and outraged American fans.

The rapper showed off his signature dance moves while performing ‘Gangnam Style,’ which has the most watched YouTube video in history. PSY owes his popularity to his Korean pop hit taking hold among tens of millions of American fans.

However, countless fans were offended by the lyrics from an anti-American protest song he sang that included the lines: ‘‘kill those f****** Yankees who have been torturing Iraqi captives…kill them all slowly and painfully.’

The rapper, 34, apologized after the anti-American protests made national news.  Calls for PSY to be removed from the lineup of the annual ‘Christmas in Washington’ benefit at the White House, which raises money for the Children’s National Medical Center. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Michelle Obama is backing Anna Wintour as U.S. Ambassador to France…

Anyone doubting the veracity of Washington rumors that Anna Wintour, the famously icy fashion queen of New York City, will soon become a high-profile American ambassador in Europe should look no further for substantiation than the archives of Vogue magazine.

In March 2009, the magazine – ruled by Wintour as her personal fiefdom – devoted its cover and eight glossy pages inside to an interview with the new First Lady Michelle Obama alongside a fabulously glamorous set of photographs shot by legendary portrait photographer Annie Leibovitz.

The ‘Michelle Obama Edition’ hit the newsstands with the glowing headline The First Lady The World’s Been Waiting For – and transformed her public image at a stroke.

When she first appeared on the political stage, Michelle was dismissed as a slightly awkward, intellectual lawyer: an angrier, African-American version of the young Hillary Clinton. But when Vogue was finished with her, Michelle was recreated as a softly elegant global fashion icon and role model: a perfect Jackie to her husband’s JFK for a multi-racial age.

The Vogue cover was the culmination of a year of hard work by the ambitious and hard-working Ms Wintour, a committed Democratic Party fundraiser who spotted the White House potential of the Obamas when Barack was still regarded as a rank outsider. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

John McCain set to block Susan Rice nomination for Sec of State as he prepares to take-up key committee seat…

Senator John McCain has said that he will join the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, setting up a potentially explosive battle if, as expected, President Barack Obama nominates Susan Rice as Secretary of State.

McCain, the 2008 Republican presidential nominee, told Foreign Policy magazine’s The Cable blog that he would join the Senate Foreign Relations Committee while remaining on the Senate Armed Services Committee.

While the Republican leadership in the Senate insists that no decisions have been made on committee assignments, McCain’s stature and foreign policy expertise is such that he is unlikely to be denied his wish.

McCain, who finishes a six-year term as top Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee this year, said he would not challenge Senator Bob Corker for a leadership position on the Foreign Relations committee. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

School lunches to be allowed unlimited meats, grains, USDA announces…

The Agriculture Department is responding to criticism over new school lunch rules by allowing more grains and meat in kids’ meals.

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack told members of Congress in a letter Friday that the department will do away with daily and weekly limits of meats and grains. Several lawmakers wrote the department after the new rules went into effect in September saying kids aren’t getting enough to eat.

School administrators also complained, saying set maximums on grains and meats are too limiting as they try to plan daily meals.

“This flexibility is being provided to allow more time for the development of products that fit within the new standards while granting schools additional weekly menu planning options to help ensure that children receive a wholesome, nutritious meal every day of the week,” Vilsack said in a letter to Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D.

The new guidelines were intended to address increasing childhood obesity levels. They set limits on calories and salt, and phase in more whole grains. Schools must offer at least one vegetable or fruit per meal. The department also dictated how much of certain food groups could be served.

While nutritionists and some parents have praised the new school lunch standards, others, including many conservative lawmakers, refer to them as government overreach. Yet many of those same lawmakers also have complained about hearing from constituents who say their kids are hungry at school. Visit Huffington Post to continue reading…

Susan Rice drops out of consideration for Secretary of State saying that partisan politics are to blame!!!

Susan Rice has officially dropped out of contention for the next secretary of state, saying that the continued partisan debate prompted her stop fighting for the post.

‘If nominated, I am now convinced that the confirmation process would be lengthy, disruptive and costly – to you and to our most pressing national and international priorities,’ she said in a statement obtained by NBC News.

A number of Republican senators- notably John McCain from Arizona- opposed her likely nomination because of her role in the administration’s handling of the attack on the American consulate in Benghazi.

Republicans took issue with Rice for failing to mention any Al Qaeda involvement in the attack on the Libyan embassy that left Ambassador Chris Stevens dead along with three others. During appearances on five separate morning shows, Rice continually said that the attack was triggered by an anti-Islam movie made in America.

‘That trade-off is simply not worth it to our country…Therefore, I respectfully request that you no longer consider my candidacy at this time,’ she wrote in the letter.

Rice had never officially been nominated to the position, which needs to be filled after Hillary Clinton steps down in January. Rice’s role as the United Nations ambassador made her the presumed candidate for the job, and President Obama’s close relationship with her all but sealed the certainty for her nomination.

‘Today, I spoke to Ambassador Susan Rice, and accepted her decision to remove her name from consideration for Secretary of State, While I deeply regret the unfair and misleading attacks on Susan Rice in recent weeks, her decision demonstrates the strength of her character, and an admirable commitment to rise above the politics of the moment to put our national interests first.’ President Obama said in a statement released Thursday afternoon.Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Madeleine Albright on Susan Rice‘s withdrawal: ‘It’s appalling what happened here!’

Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright said she found the treatment of U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice by Republican senators “appalling,” arguing that her consideration to be the next Secretary of State became a “political football” that had very little to do with her actual career and record as a public servant.

“I just think it’s appalling what happened here. Appalling,” she told The Huffington Post in an interview on Friday morning, noting she had known Rice since she was 4 years old.

“I think there are many aspects to this which … are just completely fabricated and unfair, and just not the right way to treat someone who has dedicated her life to serving the United States.”

On Thursday, Rice called President Barack Obama and formally took herself out of the running to be the next secretary of state. In a Washington Post op-ed, Rice said she decided to withdraw after:

“it became clear that my potential nomination would spark an enduring partisan battle.”

“I think it was a political attack, in many ways, that had not much to do with her,” said Albright on Friday, saying Rice had become a “political football.” Visit Huffington Post to continue reading…

Susan Rice could become National Security Adviser later in Obama’s 2nd term!

President Barack Obama was meeting privately Friday with Susan Rice, the embattled U.N. ambassador who abruptly withdrew from consideration to be the next secretary of state after a bitter, weeks long standoff with Republican senators who declared they would fight to defeat her nomination.

And White House officials are leaving open the possibility Rice could ascend to National Security Adviser, a position that does not require Senate confirmation, over the next four years. Her reluctant announcement Thursday makes Democratic Sen. John Kerry, the presidential contender in 2004, the likely choice to be the nation’s next top diplomat when Hillary Rodham Clinton departs soon.

Rice may end up close to Obama’s side in another way, as his national security adviser should Tom Donilon move on to another position, though that is not expected imminently. The security adviser position would not require Senate confirmation.

Rice’s efforts to win over skeptical Republican senators in unusual, private sessions on Capitol Hill fell short. The senators emerged from the meetings still expressing doubts about her qualifications. Visit theGrio to continue reading…

Harry Belafonte: “Obama should ‘work like a third world dictator’”…

Singer and social activist Harry Belafonte appeared on MSNBC’s Politics Nation last night, hosted by Al Sharpton, to discuss the GOP and President Barack Obama’s second term.

Sharpton noted that Belafonte fought for decades for the “entitlements” the right wing is trying to do away with in order to balance the nation’s budget deficit. This includes Medicaid, social security and Medicare.

Belafonte believes that by voting for a second Obama term by an significant margin, Americans have chosen the direction that they want this country to go in.

“The American people, in their maturity, declared themselves fully,” Belafonte said. “We want what Barack Obama is talking about. We want our country to go in that direction.” Belafonte adds that he is fascinated by “corrupt people who sit trying to dismantle the wishes of the people.”

“The only thing left for Barack Obama to do is to work like a third world dictator and put all these guys in jail,” Belafonte said. “You’re violating the American desire.” Via theGrio

Mourners gathered before a white casket decorated with while lilies and pink roses at the St. James Missionary Baptist Church to lay Perkins to rest.

‘It’s a very tragic circumstance, a tragic situation,’ pastor Steve Sweeney said as he offfered a prayer for God that both Perkins’ and Belcher’s family would find healing, and that their infant daughter Zoey would have strength.

Perkins’ great-uncle Ted Downing told mourners at the service that the she loved her family and above all her daughter:

Jovan Belcher shot dead girlfriend and then killed himself after she told him he was NOT the father of her baby!

Kansas City Chief’s player Jovan Belcher shot his girlfriend dead before shooting himself because she told him he was not the father of their baby daughter, it was revealed today.

The Long Island mother of the player Cheryl Shepherd said the couple argued over the paternity of their three-month-old daughter right before the murder suicide at her son’s home in Missouri.

Mrs Shepherd was in the home when her son shot Kasandra Perkins, 22, nine times before fleeing. He is believed to have kissed her dying body and their baby daughter goodbye before he left.

A source told the New York Post: ‘The mother believed that there was an issue over whether [Belcher] was the father. She said he believed he wasn’t necessarily the father of the child.’

A Kansas City law-enforcement source confirmed: ‘She told police there was a question about the paternity.’

It is unclear if the paternity issue was the reason why the rocky relationship ended in such a violent and tragic way.

The source added: ‘The implication was that paternity was what the two of them were fighting about — that the baby might not have been his.’

The couple had been receiving counseling for relationship and financial problems, police said. A spokeswoman said she would not comment on the doubts raised over baby Zoey’s paternity. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Cheryl Cole ‘suing X Factor for $2.3million’ she claims she is owed after being fired from US show!

Cheryl Cole was dropped from Simon Cowell’s talent show. The British pop star got the axe as a judge on the US version of X Factor and now she’s reportedly suing the show’s producers saying she’s owed $2.3 million in pay.

Cheryl, 29, who previously sat at the judges’ table on X Factor UK, was brought on board the American version in 2011 after signing a lucrative deal. Although the Promise This singer was let go from the show before Season One even got under way, she wants her money, more than $2 million of it, TMZ is reporting.

Cheryl claims that she signed a ‘Pay or Play’ contract with Blue Orbit Productions that assured her $1.8 million for the first season and $2 million for the second even if she didn’t appear on the program.

Furthermore, the model-author says producers promised to pay her various miscellaneous expenses for each season. These include $100,000 wardrobe allowance, $25,000 for a stylist, as well as $15,000 per month for hotel lodging in Los Angeles and $2,500 a month for other living expenses.

But even before Season One aired, the dark-eyed brunette was fired. Producers reportedly were convinced the American audience wouldn’t understand what she was saying beneath her heavy Geordie accent.

Nicole Scherzinger became Cheryl’s replacement before she, in turn, was let go and replaced by Britney Spears. Although Cheryl concedes that she was paid the $1.8 million for Season One, she says she’s still owed the $2 million for Season Two plus all that money for her various expenses.

Big money: Cheryl Cole, pictured with Simon Cowell on X Factor UK, was dumped from the US version of X Factor and now she’s suing the show’s producers for more than $2.3 millionLegal documents: The dossier provides an insight into just what Cole was promised by Blue Orbit

The legal documents, filed on December 7, state: ”Plaintiffs are informed and thereon allege that it was Blue Orbit’s intention (and its practice as to other performers to whom Blue Orbit paid such allowances) to pay out these allowances as part of payroll along with other compensation.

‘The Agreement also provides that Blue Orbit is to reimburse Cole for the cost of personal security and first class airfare between London and Los Angeles for Cole and coach round-trip airfare between London and LA for three individuals on Cole’s staff.’

Ice T: “Coco made me look and feel like s***’!”

They are the happily married couple who have their own reality TV show titled Ice Loves Coco. But the seemingly blissful union between Ice-T and Coco has been rocked after photographs of the buxom blonde getting cozy with another rapper has emerged.

In pictures seen on MediaTakeOut.com, Coco, 33, is seen cuddling up to a rapper called AP.9. In all of the snaps, Coco and AP.9 are seen kissing one another on the cheek.

In one image, the reality TV star smooches him on the side of the face and in two others AP.9 is seen planting them back on her own cheeks. One more intimate-looking snap shows the rapper even nuzzling into her neck.

The pictures were taken in Las Vegas, where Coco is currently performing in her topless show Peepshow, in a role she recently took over from pregnant Holly Madison earlier this year.

Ice-T’s wife is in Sin City without her husband and the famous rapper has been left outraged by the pictures.

In a series of tweets that he has since deleted, Ice-T wrote: ‘Regardless.. They would take Posed pics every time. Most of them disrespectful and in bad taste. She’s made me look.. And feel like shit,’ he tweeted.

Dermot O’Leary and Nicole Scherzinger enjoy a pint in Corrie’s Rovers Return ahead of the Live Final…

The X Factor is gearing up for it’s ninth live final, but whilst the production team and contestants get busy with last minute preparations, Dermot O’Leary and Nicole Scherzinger took a break to visit one of Manchester’s most famous pubs.

Visiting the set of Coronation Street, the two got behind the bar of the Rovers Return and pulled themselves a pint. With beaming grins on their face, Dermot and Nicole were definitely a far cry from the normal punters gracing the traditional pub.

However, the pair looked a little at odds with each other when it came to their attire. Dermot looked ready for a ball in a black and white tuxedo, whilst Nicole was more casual yet festive in a Christmas jumper.

Tweeting about their impromptu visit, Nicole made a joke along with a snap of her and the X Factor presenter: ‘Oh just another day at the office…’

For Dermot though, he got a bit more of a treat from a flank of Manchester City and United fans creating an escort around him as he left the set. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Shonda Rhimes disses Katherine Heigl in interview with Oprah Winfrey!

Grey’s Anatomy has had some pretty sensational storylines — bomb explosions, plane crashes, mass shootings, etc. — but not all of the drama happens onscreen.

Four years ago, series star Katherine Heigl caused a bit of a stir on set when she withdrew her name from Emmy consideration because she felt she hadn’t been “given the material to warrant a nomination.” Writers on the show were reportedly miffed, and though Heigl remained on the show for two years after the incident, her relationship with series creator Shonda Rhimes always seemed strained.

Rhimes — who also created the Grey’s spinoff Private Practice and the political drama Scandal, starring Kerry Washington — recently sat down with Oprah Winfrey for an Oprah’s Next Chapter interview airing Sunday, Dec. 9, on OWN. Among the topics they covered? Heigl’s infamous Emmy snub.

“On some level it stung, and on some level I was not surprised,” the Grey’s head writer, 42, tells Oprah in a teaser for the interview. “When people show you who they are, believe them. I carry that with me a lot. It has served me well.”

Heigl, 34, left the medical drama in 2010 to pursue film projects and spend more time with her family — she and husband Josh Kelley adopted daughters Naleigh and Adalaide in fall 2009 and spring 2012, respectively — but earlier this year, she expressed interest in returning to Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital to close out her character’s arc.

Nicole Scherzinger was not impressed as she and ‘angel’ Jahmene Douglas forced to duet with ONE microphone at X Factor final!

It’s a live show, so anything can happen! And for Jahmene Douglas and Nicole Scherzinger – it did. Last night a technical error almost ruined their duet together.

Singing Whitney Houston’s Greatest Love during the X Factor final on Saturday, Nicole’s microphone broke down, forcing her to share one with her act Jahmene.

After figuring out her microphone was not working, Nicole rushed over to Jahmene and took his microphone to continue singing her part, with the two later sharing it to complete the song.

Both stars showed signs of frustration, but continued and delivered the dramatic ballad pitch-perfect. Despite the fact the two managed to belt out the song without errors, Nicole did seem upset afterwards by the technical error.

Dermot O’Leary declared: ‘This is the biggest show in the UK and we can’t afford two working mics? That’s what a live performance is all about!’

However, Nicole was not impressed, saying: ‘Well it sucks when your mic is not on, but he’s my little angel and to share the stage with him, that’s the reason that I’m here.’

Earlier, Jahmene declared his love for his mentor, saying how she always sends him messages and texts and she’s ‘the best mentor anyone could ask for’. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

X-Factor UK: Final fashion show down! Nicole Scherzinger vs. Tulisa Contostavlos…

They’ve been battling it out in the style-stakes every Saturday night for the last two months. But Nicole Sherzinger and Tulisa embraced very different looks for their final Saturday night showdown.

While the former Pussycat Doll embraced old school Hollywood glamour in a floor-length red gown, Tulisa looked fashion forward in a bespoke, black dress.

Nicole might be busy concentrating on her two final acts, but she clearly had time to get her style just right for the final Saturday night performance show, changing into three different outfits.

The US star stepped out onto the X Factor stage in the red, sparkly Zuhair Murad dress with a pair of towering Charlotte Olympia shoes. She wore her dark hair in soft waves and added a pair of statement, gold earrings.

Tulisa looked less elegant but more edgy in an avant-garde black dress, made especially for her by Suzanne Neville. The London-born singer showed off her legs and a hint of cleavage in the figure-hugging dress with sheer paneling.
She added a pair of skyscraper Prada shoes and Swarovski cuffs and rings, creating a much edgier style than Nicole. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Paris Hilton relaxes poolside with her toyboy lover… after partying at a Miami nightclub with former BFF Kim Kardashian…

They used to be best friends. But Hollywood socialites Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian fell out after the Armenian beauty’s meteoric rise to fame eclipsed her pal’s.

It seems however that the pair are ready to reconcile, as the fellow reality TV stars were spotted at the same nightclub together for the second time in recent weeks.

On Saturday the 31-year-old did not seem to be suffering any ill effects from her late night as she smiled, flaunted her toned figure and canoodled with her latest love.

The designer turned DJ and her 21-year-old lover were poolside again at Miami’s Fontainebleau hotel on Saturday after a night out.

The couple both sported identical printed hoodies in the same design as Paris’ one-shouldered swimsuit and black and white hats. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Belle of the Jingle Ball! Cheryl Cole outshines everyone at Capital FM Christmas gig…

Cheryl Cole can certainly be relied upon to spice up a Christmas concert. The star ignored the weather and went for a dramatically daring black satin jumpsuit – and not much else. And the skin-tight suit did not exactly hinder her performance at the Capital FM Jingle Bell Ball at the O2 Arena on Saturday evening, as she leaped around the stage with Girls Aloud and then performed a solo set.

The low-cut jacket, with brass button details, showed off most of her chest, and Cheryl narrowly avoided a wardrobe malfunction as she posed for photographers. With her hair pulled back into a sleek ponytail and donning sexy stage make-up, the 29-year-old Promise This hit maker made sure she stood out among the star-studded guest list.

Sizzling in the sexy jumpsuit, the star upped the glamour even more by sporting a pair of stilettos underneath the outfit. Cheryl posed solo at the gig, although she joined her Girls Aloud band members on stage, after recently reuniting for their ten year anniversary.

The star was also joined by JLS, Little Mix and The Script at the A-list Christmas performance. Though the popular girl band Little Mix were without one of their members, as Perrie Edwards was reportedly too ill to perform at the ball. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Mixed race UK: Olympic star Jessica Ennis is the ‘face of today’s Britain’…

Golden girl Jessica Ennis has been hailed as the face of today’s Britain, as figures revealed mixed race people are among the fastest-growing ethnic minority groups in the country.

The 26-year-old Olympic heptathlete, of Sheffield, South Yorkshire, is engaged to white construction worker Andy Hill, while her father Vinnie is from Jamaica and her mother Alison is from Derbyshire.

At least 1million people were born to mixed race parents, the 2011 census is expected to reveal on Tuesday – but experts believe the actual figure could be twice as much, reported the Sunday Times.

Alison Powell and Vinnie Ennis, parents of new heptathlon world champion Jessica Ennis, at their home in Sheffield, August 17, 2009

It comes as a poll by think tank British Future revealed only 15 per cent of Britons are uncomfortable with mixed race marriages – a figure which is dramatically down from 40 per cent two decades ago.

Only one in 20 people aged 18 to 24 would be uncomfortable if their child was in a relationship with someone of a different race – and they are more worried about them marrying a richer person.

‘Jessica Ennis was not just the face of the Olympics this summer,’ British Future director Sunder Katwala told the Sunday Times. ‘She could stake a fair claim to be the face of the census too.’

British Indians are expected to be revealed in the census data as the largest ethnic minority group in the country, but the figure of mixed race people has shot up from 677,000 in the 2001 census.

A British Future spokesman said: ‘When the parents of Olympic champion Jessica Ennis, who are from Jamaica and Derbyshire, met in Sheffield in the 1980s, a majority of the public expressed opposition to mixed race relationships. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Champion: The British Future survey also found only 42 per cent of people could correctly identify Jessica Ennis (pictured winning gold in the London 2012 heptathlon in August) as mixed raceBiracial glamour: Jessica Ennis is a front-runner 

Fan: “Oh my god – I can’t believe it’s Cheryl Cole!”

Cheryl Cole must be used to screaming fans when she is on stage performing.
However, the pop star’s appearance sent one woman into delirium as she left a London night club in the early hours of Sunday morning.

The woman began screaming: ‘Oh my God, I can’t believe it’s Cheryl Cole, oh my God! oh my God!’.

Cheryl’s transparent lace top, which clearly showed her black bra, did not exactly calm the crowds. The Parachute singer left little to the imagination in her sheer lace top as she was escorted from the Rose Club.

Cheryl’s brunette hair was swept back in a sleek ponytail and she kept the style going with dramatic black eye make-up. With such a daring top, it is not surprising that the star kept her lower half a little more demure with wide-leg pants and pointy nude heels.

Connie Britton explains adoption decision…

It may not have been exactly the way she envisioned starting a family, but actress Connie Britton has no regrets about her decision to adopt as a single mom.

During an appearance on The View this week, the Friday Night Lights star opened up about adopting her son Yoby last year, saying: “I lost both of my parents within three years of each other and I kind of thought, ‘What am I waiting for?’ The man will come and if I want to have my own kids I can do that, but I [knew] this was something I [wanted] to do.”

Calling motherhood a “wonderful and life-changing experience,” Connie adds that it’s even helped bring out her musical side!

“It is really true, I sing to him all the time. Poor thing practically never hears me just say a straight word. I sing everything like we’re in a musical,” laughed the doting mama. “I guess he likes it. He wasn’t able to defend himself because he couldn’t speak until just recently.” Via CelebBabyScoop.

Matt Damon: “My daughters are all about the presents!”

By blending their Christmas traditions, the holidays pay off in a big way for Matt Damon and Luciana‘s daughters.

“We do the Latin American Christmas Eve gift opening and we do the American Christmas morning gift opening,” the Promised Land actor, 42, told PEOPLE during the film’s premiere on Thursday in Los Angeles.

“We have this weird fusion for Christmas, but I think it just means more gifts for the kids, so they’re into it.”

But aside from the present palooza, Damon’s holiday plans don’t include much more than laying low with his family, including Alexia, 14, Isabella, 6, Gia, 4, and Stella, 2.

“I’m just going to hang out with my kids,” he says. “ We’ve been on the Promised Land train a little bit for the last week or so, and we’re looking forward to just settling down.”

Halle Berry and her daughter Nahla headed out for some quality mother-daughter time on Sunday, and took a stroll along the picturesque coastline of Malibu.

At one point, it seem the combination of walking and the windy weather proved too much for the youngster – and she promptly decided to lie down for a rest on the sand.

Halle was pictured giggling as she attempted to encourage her daughter back up onto her feet.

The duo enjoyed some one-on-one time together before heading to meet Halle’s fiance Olivier Martinez, for lunch.

Boxing fan Martinez and Halle Berry watch Marquez versus Pacquiao fight…

The couple were seen out and about after apparently viewing the fight, getting into their awaiting car and heading off into the night. Olivier would have surely been in his element watching the match.

The French actor has always had a passion for boxing and and was taught how to fight by his father, who was a Spanish professional boxer. The couple tried their best to go incognito during the outing, Halle keeping her head down as she made her way to the couple’s car.

He’s 30 years her senior and has had plenty of younger and beautiful ladies on his arm. And after showing off his flexibility on Miami Beach on Sunday, it might be easier for some people to see why Russell Simmons is a hit with the ladies.

The 55-year-old music mogul could be seen practicing yoga and meditation with his girlfriend Hana Nitsche, 26, on the Florida sands.

At one point the father-of-two children stretched his muscles so far as he bent over, that his head touched his knees.

It seems he has some serious persuasion skills too as managed to get his Germany’s Next Top Model star beau to emulate his poses.

Appearing to jokingly mock her man, Hana giggled as she put her leg up behind the one planted on the sand and made a tree pose.

She also stretched her triceps as she pulled up her arms behind her back while sitting by the ocean following a refreshing dip in the water.

They’ve been battling it out in the weekly X Factor fashion wars for the past eight weeks.

But Nicole Scherzinger and Tulisa Contostavlos made sure to save the best until last, with each of the leading ladies stepping out in showstopping ensembles as they took to the stage at the X Factor Final 2012.

Gold panel detailing at the bust and a clinched-in waist completed the stunning dress, which marked the end of a series of style wins for the star.

She completed her look with equally draamtic eye make-up, a pair of simple hoop earrings, while she let her ensemble do the talking by keeping her long raven locks scraped off her face into a simple ponytail.

Stéphane Rolland Haute Couture shoes and jewelry by Shaun Leane and Maria Piana finished off her finale ensemble.

Tulisa Contostavlos refused to be overshadowed by her fellow judge, looking equally incredible in a beaded floor-length gown by Hollie de Keyser.

Featuring a daring thigh-high split, and a curve-enhancing bustier top, the 24-year-old singer teamed her gorgeous dress with dazzling diamond drop earrings and simple bronze eye make-up.

Tulisa completed her final look with her dark brunette locks teased into delicate waves and swept to the side.

Nicola Roberts, 27, wore a monochrome tuxedo jacket over a tight dress and a pair of heels.

Stacey Dash reveals new scripted series trailer…

A few months ago, when Stacey Dash posed in a bikini while endorsing former presidential candidate Mitt Romney for president, she was slammed by fellow actresses who thought she was publicly whoring herself for attention without having a project to promote.

It seems as they were wrong as multiracial actress and mother Stacey Dash is working on a few projects.

Over the weekend, she released a trailer for a new scripted series that she wrote and co-created called ‘Stacey Dash Is Normal’. In the web series, Stacey will play an over-the-top, more emotionally conflicted version of herself who must visit a therapist in order to figure out her life.

No word yet on when the series is set to premiere, but it looks like it could be pretty funny…or pretty corny depending on your sense of humor.

Check out the trailer below:

Khloe Kardashian goes for a slap dunk as she piles on the make-up courtside…

As the wife of a basketball player Khloe Kardashian knows all eyes are on her when she goes to a game. And although she was made-up to perfection at the Clippers game the X Factor US host decided to pile on the powder and glossy ipstick courtside.

Eventually her pals were persuaded to tell the 28-year-old reality starlet to stash her compact in her designer bag as people were starting to become distracted. Khloe’s husband Lamar Odom plays for the Los Angeles Clippers and luckily her make-up mishap didn’t distract the team from defeating rivals the Phoenix Suns by the final score of 117-99 at Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles.

Reality starlet Khloe has been taking her new groomed regime incredibly seriously appearing on various chat shows in her own clothing range the Kardashian Kollection.

However, she did eventually leave her face alone and must have realised that her husband had won as she later tweeted: ‘Congrats Clippers!’ Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Blanket Jackson larks around as he enjoys a sweet treat after karate class…

Perhaps it was brain freeze or a sudden stomach ache. But something prompted Blanket Jackson to pull a startled face as he indulged in a post-karate ice-cream cone in Calabasas Saturday afternoon.

Accompanied by a pal and his bodyguard, the 10-year-old son of pop star Michael Jackson had literally gone from the dojo at Dawn Barnes Karate Kids directly to Baskin-Robbins. The long-haired youngster was even wearing a T-shirt bearing the school’s name, which matched his yellow belt – the second level (called Kyu) of achievement in Gozen Karate.

Blanket, born Prince Michael Jackson II, was still wearing the pants from his martial arts uniform – called a gi – and white sneakers. Not seen Saturday was his older siblings Prince, 15, and Paris, 14.

The trio, watched over by grandmother Katherine, were last spotted together riding the Jungle Boat Cruise and Splash Mountain at Disneyland over Veteran’s Day weekend.

His teenage sister took to her Twitter on Friday to reveal that she’d dyed her brunette locks black and posted a photo with the caption: ‘I apologize for having bipolar hair, deal.’ Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Nicole Scherzinger on Cheryl Cole: “I don’t understand why anybody would do that”…

In her autobiography Cheryl Cole described her first meeting with Nicole Scherzinger as ‘awkward’. The Girls Aloud singer explained how she was left cringing after Nicole sang her track Promise This back to her.

Not impressed with the way Cheryl remembers their encounter Scherzinger, 34, blasted Cole making her look bad.

Speaking to Fabulous Magazine, Nicole admitted that she had not had a chance to read Cheryl’s book but wasn’t sure what to ‘believe’.

She explained that she had seen the quotes and felt the whole thing was ‘silly.’

Nicole told the publication: ‘I’d like to give her the benefit of the doubt and hope that she would only have spoken highly of me because I’ve not spoken poorly of her.’

However upset at the fact Cheryl had failed to speak well of her, Nicole went on to explain what really happened.

Snapping back, the Don’t Cha singer said: ‘No. No. The story is I met her once at The X Factor and I wanted to make her feel good.’

‘I said I’d heard her song on the radio and I think I sang the words “promise this”. But I really don’t know any lyrics after that.’

‘And then that is made out to be something else and I don’t understand why. I don’t understand why anybody would do that. It’s been blown out of proportion and it’s silly.’

In the book, entitled, Cheryl: My Story, Cole described the meeting as ‘really embarrassing’. She wrote: ‘I swear to God the woman sang the whole song, to my face.It was just so awkward.’

Cheryl likened it to performing Baby One More Time up to Britney Spears and notes: ‘Can you image how weird that would be?’ Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Spotted: Padma Lakshmi, 42, flaunting amazing bikini body in Miami…

As the host of America’s most popular cooking show, Padma Lakshmi could be forgiven for carrying a few extra pounds.

But the Top Chef host appears to have mastered the art of maintaining her figure in between seasons of the program, judging by the shots of the 42-year-old showing off her incredible bikini body in Miami earlier this month.

The mother-of-one drew attention to her washboard stomach and toned arms in a strapless baby blue bikini, which featured tassels on the top and tie sides, as she frolicked in the surf.

Padma wore her raven hair loose for the beach day, and shielded her eyes from the sun behind a pair of aviator sunglasses.

The former model, who has previously stripped off for magazines including Playboy and Allure, recently spoke about how she gets back into shape after filming wraps on Top Chef.

She said: ‘I’m lucky. I have a fast metabolism, I’m tall, and my digestive tract is ironclad and can really take a beating. Having been a model for 15 years, I…know a thing or two about how to dress if I’ve put on a few pounds.’

‘And I usually gain between 10 and 15 pounds over six weeks each season. Then I spend 12 weeks working it off.’

And Padma, who welcomed daughter Krishna in 2010, also spoke in a recent interview about her battle to lose her pregnancy weight. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Tulisa gets straight back to the day job after X Factor final…

The X Factor has certainly raised her profile, but unfortunately the same can’t be said for her record sales.

So in a bid to promote her debut album, Tulisa got straight back on with the day job after Sunday’s X Factor final, as she played an intimate gig at the BT Tower on Monday.

Instead of taking a break after her hectic weekend, the star clearly had her career on her mind as she took to the stage to perform a number of her new tracks at the BT Infinity event.

Not looking quite as glamorous as she did the night before, the former N Dubz star wore a simple black outfit as she performed on the 34th floor of the building.

Slightly more demure than some of her other looks, the 24-year-old wore a pair of loose-fitting black pants and a modest, black satin tank top.

She added a pair of reasonably modest black heels and kept her jewelry simple, with just a plain silver crucifix hanging around her neck.

Tulisa kept her make-up simple, opting for smokey eyes and just a touch of nude lipgloss, adding to her conservative look.

She wore her glossy dark hair in waves and tied it back into a side ponytail, with a half fringe sweeping her face.

As well as tracks from her new album, Tulisa performed some classic songs including Cyndi Lauper’s ‘Time After Time’. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

She is known for her eccentric wardrobe choices and now she has upped the ante by chaneling an actual musketeer. Multiracial Cher was preparing to fly out of Los Angeles on Monday and her French infantry soldier inspired get-up caused quite a stir.

The 66-year-old pop star seemed delighted with her ensemble though as she smirked to herself while sauntering through LAX.

Cher grinned at all those around her as she confidently made her way to her flight and seemed not in the least concerned that she looked like she was in fancy dress.

The all black ensemble consisted of a large musketeer style hat – made famous by French musket-wielding soldiers during the Renaissance – black leggings and a swashbuckling type black leather coat.

Her boots were also reminiscent of one of Louis XIII’s famous military men.

The I Got You Babe singer also gave off d’Artagnan vibes with her hair – the long straight locks were similar to that of the historic French hero – whose tale is best told in the classic film The Three Musketeers.

Cher accessorized with a pair of mirrored sunglasses and a glitzy metallic carry-on bag and just a hint of cleavage could be seen underneath her jacket. The headline-grabbing songstress was recently rumored to be marrying a Hell’s Angel biker 24 years her junior.

Spotted: Biracial basketball player Stephen Curry and daughter…

Biracial basketball player Stephen Curry and daughter Riley,5 months, were captured in a Kodak moment right before Monday’s game between the Golden State ‘Warriors’ and the Charlotte ‘Bobcats.’

Curry spent a bit of time with his daughter before assisting his fellow teammates in defeating the ‘Bobcats’ 104-96. Although Riley fell asleep and missed most of the action, the crowd was on their feet as her dad scored several points and blocked numerous passes.

Curry’s trip to Charlotte was more like a trip down memory lane and less like an ordinary basketball game. A native of North Carolina, Curry got to visit family and friends as well as old spots in the city where he and wife Ayesha used to hangout.

“The lady who used to give me ice cream at the old coliseum is still here. She stopped me and said hi and offered me another scoop if I wanted one. … Little stuff like that makes the whole night special,” said Curry after the game.

Sister, Sister indeed! When first-time mom Tamera Mowry-Housley welcomed son Aden Nov. 12, she turned to twin Tia Mowry-Hardrict, 34, for some much-needed advice.

“The first thing, she was like ‘oh my goodness, how do you do this breastfeeding? It’s difficult, it’s hard, and it hurts!’” Tia, whose son Cree is 17-months-old, tells me this week during ABC Family’s 25 Days of Christmas Winter Wonderland event in NYC. “I’m like ‘just stay with it. Everything will be fine.’”

‘I’m like ‘Tamera, you just have to let them pile up a little bit, and sleep when your baby sleeps, because if you don’t, you will be a walking zombie.’”

Playing it safe: The rapper and the model decided to not announce their second pregnancy until September at the VMAs

RIP! Norah Jones‘ father Ravi Shankar has has died aged 92…

Ravi Shankar, the sitar virtuoso who became a hippie musical icon of the 1960s after hobnobbing with the Beatles and who introduced traditional Indian ragas to Western audiences over an eight-decade career, has died. He was 92.

A statement on the musician’s website said he died in San Diego, near his Southern California home.  The musician’s foundation issued a statement saying that he had suffered upper respiratory and heart problems and had undergone heart-valve replacement surgery last week.

The prime minister of India, Dr. Manmohan Singh’s office confirmed his death and called him a ‘national treasure.’ Labeled ‘the godfather of world music’ by George Harrison, Shankar helped millions of classical, jazz and rock lovers discover the centuries-old traditions of Indian music.

He also pioneered the concept of the rock benefit with the 1971 Concert For Bangladesh. To later generations, he was known as the estranged father of popular American singer Norah Jones.

As early as the 1950s, Shankar began collaborating with and teaching some of the greats of Western music, including violinist Yehudi Menuhin and jazz saxophonist John Coltrane. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Get a room, love! Madonna puckers up to toyboy lover Brahim Zaibat on stage in Brazil…

She may be a 54-year-old mother-of-four, but Madonna certainly doesn’t seem ready to leave her raunchy side behind just yet. Continuing her tradition of shocking and causing controversy with her live shows, the queen of pop proved she’s still got it as she puckered up to her toyboy lover on stage in Porto Alegre, Brazil.

The Like A Virgin hitmaker seemed to surprise Brahim Zaibat – who at 25, is almost 30 years her junior – with a saucy smooch while her gig was in full motion. Locking lips for all to see, Madonna certainly didn’t hold back with her very public display of passion, with the star ramming her tongue straight down the throat of her man.

Oops! Walt Frazier refers to Kris Humphries as  ‘the Kardashian guy’ during Knicks/Nets game…

During Tuesday night’s epic game between the New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets, Hall of Famer and Knicks commentator Walt Frazier referred to Kris Humphries as “the Kardashian guy.”

Apparently Frazier wasn’t familiar with Humphries and questioned fellow commentator Mike Breen during the game, “Oh, that’s the Kardashian guy?”

Breen replied with, “Yes, it is.”

Nicole Scherzinger: ‘I’ll wear Spanx and a push-up bra to cook Christmas dinner this year!’

She is the ultra-glamorous Pussycat Doll who soared to glory on this year’s X Factor when her act James Arthur won.  Her ‘sha-mazing’ performance on the show won her countless new fans – many of whom gaped at her dazzling dresses on the show week after week.

And now, the sha-mazing star herself has revealed just what she’s going to be wearing this 25 December: A pair of not-so glamorous Spanx.

The suck-me-in control pants have fast become the go-to garment for celebrities and regular folk alike looking to banish the bulge and avoid the dreaded VPL – and they are now set to make up Nicole’s Christmas look too.

Even slender young stars like Katy Perry, Tulisa and Kristen Stewart admit to wearing them, and everyone from Princess Beatrice to Kim Kardashian via Jennifer Lopez has inadvertently flashed a glimpse of their Spanx.

So if nothing else, Nicole, 34, is in excellent company.

 The star told Closer magazine she would be pairing her control pants with a push-up bra: ‘I’ll be wearing Spanx and a great bra to lift up those puppies!’ she said in an interview with the magazine.

‘I can’t wait to have Christmas with my family,’ she added, saying that she would be indulging on chicken, dumplings and pecan pie. There’s no diet then,’ she says. ‘I like to pig out over Christmas and work it off in January.’

‘Then I’ll go running in Hyde Park and do Bikram yoga classes. I also try to cut down on salty foods and eating late at night.’ she continued. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Woody Harrelson the surfer dude makes a splash on a break from shooting a movie…

Woody Harrelson took time off from shooting his new moving Catching Fire to brush up on his surfing skills in Hawaii. The 51-year-old actor was spotted riding waves along Oahu’s North Shore this week.

The Surfer, Dude star lives in Hawaii with his wife Laurie Louie and their three daughters, Deni, 19, Zoe, 16, and Makani, six, and surfing is one of his favorite sports.

Woody was spotted on Tuesday taking to the waves on his blue surfboard and having a marvelous time, even though it seemed he had more wipeouts than standouts. The Cheers star would paddle along on the waves and manage to stand up a few seconds on his board before falling backwards into the ocean.

Woody took it all in stride, and perhaps just hanging out with his male buddy was fun enough. The No Country For Old Men star was even caught checking out his fellow surfers – including a curvy bikini-clad brunette. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Biracial actress Cree Summer expecting baby #2…

Great news! Cree Summer is expecting her second child with husband Angelo Pullen. The delightful news came via Twitter a few days ago during a conversation with fellow actress Tia Mowry-Hardrict.

“Brave is 20 Months old and I am 7 months pregnant with her Lil sister,” tweeted Summer.

Cree recently spoke with Curly Nikki about her daughter’s natural curls and the lack thereof saying: “It’s actually very straight and very blond! My father has blue eyes, blond hair and my mother is very dark skinned. My husband is not mixed, and he’s maybe a shade or two darker than I am.”

“And here comes my very fair skinned, straight haired, gray eyed daughter! If my daughter didn’t look like him, I’d have a lot of explaining to do! It’s still early, and it looks like it’s starting to get a curl to it, but for the most part, it’s very light and very straight.”

Summer and husband Angelo will welcome their baby girl early next year. Cree has starred in several animations since leaving ‘A Different World’ over a decade ago. Via BCK.

Lala and son Kiyan get in the holiday spirit, talk Santa Claus…

La La Anthony and her son Kiyan,5, celebrate the Christmas season with candy canes and jolly hats. The reality star and her son are looking festive in their black and grey wear, posing next to a large striped pole.

La La recently gave her two cents on Santa Claus and Kiyan coming to grips with the reality of him not being real.

“My little man Kiyan is almost six years old this holiday season, which means I may only have two or three more Christmases where he believes in Santa Claus. That’s a bittersweet realization for me,” said the reality star.

“I know that finding out the truth about Santa is part of growing up, but I just love seeing his eyes light up when he talks about what ‘Santa’ left him. Will it be the same when he knows it’s just mom and dad? I guess all I can do is cherish this time while it lasts.”

Kiyan is La La and husband Carmelo Anthony’s first child together. Via BCK.

Ten love letters Mick Jagger sent to girlfriend that inspired hit Brown Sugar fetch more than £185,000 at auction…

They are the passionate love letters Mick Jagger wanted to keep under wraps. Written in the summer of 1969 to his secret lover Marsha Hunt, they reveal a tender side to the Rolling Stones singer rarely seen in public.

Jagger is understood to have made it clear to his former girlfriend that he wished to keep them private – but she had other ideas.

Yesterday, they went under the hammer for an incredible £187,250 after a three-minute bidding war at Sotheby’s.

The 10 letters, said to paint a picture of Jagger as a ‘poetic and self-aware’ 25-year-old, were written to the American-born singer while Jagger was in Australia.

In one steamy note, he promises Marsha: ‘I will kiss you softly. And bite your mouth too.’ In other letters, he is more poetic, musing: ‘If I sailed with you around the world/All my sails would be unfurled.’

Miss Hunt provided the inspiration for the Stones’ 1971 hit Brown Sugar and gave birth to Jagger’s child Karis in 1972 after a three year love affair. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

American Idol fashion faceoff: Mariah Carey outshines Nicki Minaj…

She is known as one of the biggest divas in the music industry. And Mariah Carey showed that she’s still very worthy of that title as she rocked up to tape Hollywood week for American Idol in Los Angeles on Wednesday.

Surrounded by several stylists, make-up artists and assistants, the songstress made sure to trump fellow Idol judge-turned-enemy Nicki Minaj in the fashion stakes.

The 42-year-old showed off her curves in a bright red strapless gown complete with an array of glittering diamond jewels.

The Butterfly hit maker also wore a pair of skyscraper heels and held a pair of tinted sunglasses in her hands.

After getting her foundation touched up by a make-up artist, Mariah made sure all eyes were on her as she strutted into the studios.

In stark contrast, Nicki exited her car with no assistants in tow and was wearing a very casual and uncharacteristic pair of velour tracksuit pants tucked into fluffy boots.

On her top half she slipped on a matching black T-shirt and leather motorcycle jacket.

Nicki had her trademark blonde hair out in a straight style and had a signature swiping of bright pink lipstick on her lips. The two divas had a shaky start and introduction to the American Idol panel earlier this year when they had an explosive row. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Kim Kardashian wears matching outfit with sister…

They are currently filming their spin-off reality show Kourtney and Kim Take Miami. And it seems spending all that time together is having an effect on Kim and Kourtney Kardashian’s wardrobes.

The famous sisters coordinated their outfits ahead of a South Beach shopping trip on Wednesday and both opted to wear peplum skirts.

But while they chose the same shape of skirt, the similarities between the two ensembles ended there.

Kourtney, 33, looked chic by teaming the fashionable skirt, in an olive hue, with a structured coral top that boasted shoulder pads – leaving her looking like a smart businesswoman.

But her younger sister Kim, 32, naturally felt the need to make her own outfit as sexy as possible.

She wore the tight-fitting skirt in leather, her favorite fabric, and teamed it with a black crop top in order to flash some of her midriff.  Both of the reality stars completed their looks with black court shoes.

The sibling duo were seen arriving at a Sisley store to do a spot of shopping. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Nick Cannon talks Mariah Carey and premarital sex with Howard Stern…

It seems as though waiting to have sex until marriage is becoming a hit in Hollywood. The latest couple to reveal they waited until after tying the knot to have sex are Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey.

During an interview with Howard Stern, when asked how he was able to wait to have sex, Nick Cannon responded:

“It was Mariah Carey. If Mariah Carey gave a bad blowjob, I didn’t care. In my mind, I’m with it. Either way its one of the most beautiful women that ever walked the planet.”

When asked if he was nervous to feel her up after the wedding, he responded:

“I was excited. It was so different because we were jet setting and traveling and stuff [while we were dating]. So I would be back home, there would be other chicks, but this was the one woman that was like none of that is going down. I knew her values.”

Back in 2008, Mariah Carey talked about her relationship with Nick and revealed that waiting made their marriage even more special:

“It’s not that we had no intimacy, we just didn’t have complete intimacy. It’s just me, and my feelings. I definitely don’t want to push it on anybody else. But we both have similar beliefs, and I just thought that it would be so much more special if we waited until after we were married. And it was, and it still is.”

Fortunately for them, they didn’t have to wait long as they were married two months after dating.

Whites will no longer be a majority in U.S. by 2043 as Hispanic population surges, Census data reveals…

Shift: Hispanics, currently 17 per cent of the population, will more than double in absolute number, making up 31 per cent, or nearly 1 in 3 residents

White people will no longer make up a majority of Americans by 2043, according to new census projections, part of a historic shift that is already reshaping the nation’s schools, workforce and electorate.

The official projection, released today by the Census Bureau, now places the tipping point for the white majority a year later than previous estimates, which were made before the impact of the recent economic downturn was fully known.

America continues to grow and become more diverse due to higher birth rates among minorities, particularly for Hispanics who entered the U.S. at the height of the immigration boom in the 1990s and early 2000s.

Since the mid-2000 housing bust, however, the arrival of millions of new immigrants from Mexico and other nations has slowed, pushing minority growth below its once-torrid pace.

‘Moving forward, the U.S. will become the first major post-industrial society in the world where minorities will be the majority,’ Suarez-Orozco said.

‘With the white baby boomer population now leaving the work force, the most fundamental challenge will be connecting with this fast-growing U.S. group in terms of their education.’

The U.S. has nearly 315 million people today. According to the projections released Wednesday, the U.S. population is projected to cross the 400 million mark in 2051, reaching 420.3 million a half century from now in 2060. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Data: This graph shows the current racial population (green) in regard to the 2060 estimates by the U.S. Census Bureau (orange). These numbers show a steep decline in the number of white Americans while the Hispanic and black populations appear to risePopulation surge: America continues to grow and become more diverse due to higher birth rates among minoritiesChanges: The non-Hispanic white population, now at 197.8 million, is projected to peak at 200 million in 2024, before entering a steady decline in absolute numbers as the massive baby boomer generation enters its golden yearsStalled: Since the mid-2000 housing bust, the arrival of millions of new immigrants from Mexico and other nations has slowed, pushing minority growth below its once-torrid pace

Iman visits the Wendy Williams show, talks fashion and 20-year marriage to David Bowie…

One of our favorite supermodels, Iman, stopped by “The Wendy Williams Show” on Wednesday to share some of the sage advice she has picked up over the years and to stun us with her age-defying beauty, of course.

The 57-year-old beauty wore a chic magenta suit, silky purple blouse and sparkly cocktail rings, all from the Rachel Zoe’s stylish, yet struggling, clothing collection. And after being sidelined from rocking heels due to a foot fracture this summer, it was nice to see the star back in her beloved stilts.

Iman told viewers that there is nothing ladylike about wearing ballet flats and that she was dying to get back into her stilettos.

“Brian Atwood are the only shoes I can wear. Who knew that something this high could be comfortable?” she said.

And while heels are a permanent part of her style arsenal, we were surprised to learn that makeup isn’t. For a woman who runs a major cosmetics brand, Iman revealed that she only wears makeup once or twice a week for meetings and interviews.

The lack of speckle doesn’t seem to bother her better half. Iman’s 20-year marriage to legendary rocker David Bowie is the stuff fairy tales are made of.

The secret behind their long-lasting love? Iman said that keeping their personal and professionals lives separate is the key to keeping the marriage intact all these years.

“We never have photographs taken in our apartment and we don’t do fashion shoots together,” Iman said. “Home is private.”

Watch Iman talk about the secret to her 20-year marriage below:

Show Review: Prabal Gurung pre-Fall 2013…

As we move into Fall, fashion collections get darker and more texture-heavy, reflecting the autumnal chill that is soon to come: well for most designers at least. With his assortment for the season, Prabal Gurung is showing that he doesn’t believe in more neutral hues for Fall, as his latest creations are as bright as they come.

The modern printmaster continues his signature patterns, taking from a bevy of inspirations including his native country of Nepal, Baz Luhrmann’s 1996 film Romeo + Juliet, and vintage ads from Versace and Versus.

All the influences are apparent from the collection’s visual beauty to the avant-garde and sexy vibe that runs through almost every look. Visit FashionBombDaily to view the full 2013 collection…

Nicole Scherzinger stuns in a fringed little black dress as she goes for sushi dinner with girl pals…

After several visits to the Japanese restaurant over the past few weeks, it’s probably safe to assume Nicole Scherzinger has a penchant for sushi.

The X Factor star hit Nobu in London again on Wednesday night, this time accompanied by a handful of female friends.

And looking as shamazing as usual, the star donned a trendy little black dress that featured fringes all over for her girls night out.

She braved the cold and opted to go tightless, showing off her toned dance legs as she made her way to the restaurant.

Nicole sported her usual smokey eye makeup and donned a pair of peep-toe stilettos to complete the glamorous look for her girls night out.

After dinner, the star continued her night with friends and headed over to The Box, making time for a quick hug with a delighted fan on the way.

And the former Pussycat Doll star is a big fan of the Japanese restaurant, as she has been spotted there many times in the past few months, often enjoying a late night sushi dinner with former X Factor judge Louis Walsh. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Mariah Carey tweets a cute snap of son Moroccan chilling out in his pajamas…

It’s become pretty common for parents to share photos of their kids on social media. And Mariah Carey is the perfect example of a mum wanting to show off her baby to the world. The singer tweeted an adorable photo of her son Moroccan chilling in his pajamas on Wednesday night.

Mariah’s 20-month old son was laid back against a pillow with his legs spread out in a comfy position. His cute Afro hair has grown considerably over the last year, and his big brown eyes could have been inherited from his mother or father Nick Cannon.

Holding onto a stuffed animal, Moroccan looked straight at his mummy behind the camera. His sister Monroe wasn’t pictured, but she may well have been in the arms of her doting dad.

The cuteness of her son, left Mariah lost for words as she shared the photo on Twitter with the simple comment: ‘Roc… what more can I say?’

With 448 retweets and counting, clearly the American Idol judge’s followers shared her appreciation. Via DailyMail

Spotted: Seal arriving LAX airport in the company of a mystery woman…

Since Heidi Klum and Seal ended their marriage, the model has already stepped out in public with a new man who just so happened to be her bodyguard Martin Kirsten.

But her British ex-husband has yet to become official with another woman.
However, on arrival in Los Angeles from London, Seal was seen with a mystery lady… and she couldn’t be more different from Heidi.

This doesn’t mean his brunette traveling partner wasn’t pretty. She had a quaint girl next door image and went make-up free for the long trip.

Wearing a black blazer, white T-shirt, grey jeans and a chunky patterned scarf, the mystery girl carried a duty-free shopping bag as she walked through customs.

Her outfit was far less frivolous get up compared to the bikini-clad girl Seal was picture with earlier in the year. The Newborn Friend singer on the other hand seemed to be taking fashion tips from pop prince Justin Bieber.

Playboy interview Matt Damon, talks career, family life and new movie!

Among Hollywood’s tiny circle of leading men, Matt Damon is considered a quiet giant. In a look-at-me industry he’s a stealth star, at least compared with Leonardo DiCaprio, George Clooney or Tom Cruise—free from rumors, personal spinouts and scandals.

Fiercely guarded about his personal life, wary of self-promotion and constitutionally allergic to showy moves on-screen and off, Damon is rumored to have earned as much as $20 million a film.

In the past decade he has aligned himself with such directing heavyweights as Martin Scorsese (The Departed), Joel and Ethan Coen (True Grit), Clint Eastwood (Invictus, Hereafter), Cameron Crowe (We Bought a Zoo) and Steven Soderbergh (The Informant!, Contagion and three Ocean’s caper flicks).

PLAYBOY: Since we spoke in 2004 you’ve worked nonstop, married and had three daughters, along with a stepdaughter, with Luciana Barroso, kept active politically and philanthropically and—probably most important to moviegoers—become an action star in the Bourne franchise. With Jeremy Renner starring in last summer’s The Bourne Legacy, are you officially done with Bourne?

DAMON: The thing that drove Bourne, the deepest source of his angst and anguish, what made him interesting, was the fact that he didn’t have his memory. By the end of the last one we did, he has his memory back. When he knows who he is and where he’s going, there’s not much left for me to play.

He’s just an utterly efficient machine, and when he’s in only that mode—some of us involved with those movies refer to him as “Mission: Bourne”—it’s fun to watch for a little while, but I don’t know if you can watch that for a whole movie. Visit Playboy to read Matt Damon’s full interview…

Matt Damon: “Michael Douglas was a wonderful kisser in Liberace movie!”

Marital bliss: Damon said he is ‘shi**y’ at spicing up the romance in his relationship with wife Luciana

As a family man with three children and a stepdaughter, Matt Damon was understandably nervous about taking part in a number of nude scenes for his TV movie Behind the Candelabra.

But the actor has admitted he is regularly seen in the buff in the forthcoming HBO film about the relationship between his character Scott Thorson and entertainer Liberace, played by Michael Douglas.

‘Normally I’d say no to nudity, but I just did a lot of it playing the long-term partner of Liberace,’ Damon says in a new interview with Playboy magazine. ‘I mean, it’s tastefully done. But this movie’s not going to be for everyone.’

The actor also discusses his love scenes with Douglas, and even complements him on his kissing technique:

‘Michael was a wonderful kisser,’ he laughs. ‘My concerns ended up mattering a lot less once we were filming. The dynamic between the men was complex and interesting.’

‘Liberace was very powerful and adored, a great showman making $50,000 a week doing his act in Vegas. Scott was much younger and grew up in foster homes, so there was a lot to play.’

In fact, Matt describes how the two actors thought hard about how to act out their scenes of passion.

‘We both have a lot of gay friends, and we were not going to screw this up,’ says the actor. ‘It wasn’t the most natural thing in the world to do, though. Like, for one scene, I had to come out of a pool, go over to Michael, straddle him on a chaise lounge and start kissing him.’

‘And throughout the script, it’s not like I kiss him just once. We drew it up like a football plan.’

The HBO film, which will air next year, is based on Thorson’s autobiographical book Behind the Candelabra: My Life With Liberace and was filmed over the summer. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Aisha Tyler and Shemar Moore visit ‘Watch What Happens Live’…

“The Talk” co-host Aisha Tyler and Shemar Moore were guests at the clubhouse for “Watch What Happens Live” on Wednesday evening. And things got steamy when Sweet “Aint Nobody Got Time For Dat” Brown got a lap dance from a shirtless Shemar Moore who looked like the black version of ‘Magic Mike’.

After Andy Cohen cheated on the “Gimmie Shemar Moore” ‘spin the wheel to take off clothes’ game, and the “Criminal Minds” star’s shirt came off, things got real strip-clubbish.

A shirtless Shemar Moore gave Sweet Brown a lap dance while everyone cheered him on. And hilarity ensued. Sweet Brown said:

Tulisa Contostavlos poses for Sheer Magazine: “I’m no model, but I am getting better at posing!”

Kicking off: Tulisa said although she is no model, she has got better at posing

She may say she’s no model but it’s all there in black and white as Tulisa reveals her dark side in one of her raunchiest shoots yet.

The 24-year-old positively sizzles in front of the camera in a selection of revealing outfits, showing off her slim figure and soulful attitude as she perfectly pouts in front of the camera.

And although the solo singer said she ‘hates having to stand still’, the results of her glossy magazine shoot even impressed the sometimes grouchy X Factor judge.

‘I like the images, but I hate having to stand still. I like to move around a lot and be active. Being quiet and still is a challenge for me!’, Tulisa told Sheer magazine.

She added: ‘I’m learning as I go along, I’m no model but I am getting better at posing.’

And the self-styled Female Boss said although she was more than happy to ditch some of her more colorful outfits for the Italian Vogue inspired shoot, she doesn’t let herself worry about her fashion choices.

Spotted: Cheryl Cole out and about with boyfriend Tre and fellow bandmate Nicola…

Mechanic Cheryl Cole?

Cheryl Cole may have been bang on trend in her jumpsuit as she dined out with fellow band member Nicola Roberts but her navy outfit may have been more at home on the back of a mechanic rather than a model.

Although the 29-year-old brunette showed off her slim figure in her tight outfit, she was left fading into the background as 27-year-old band-member Nicola’s bright pink cardigan caught onlooker’s eyes.

But Nicola and Fight For This Love singer Cheryl looked like they couldn’t care less as they laughed and joked leaving the central London restaurant, with Cole’s boyfriend Tre Holloway in tow, of course.

Nicola paired her bright jacket with strappy sandals and some skinny jeans while her dip-dyed blonde hair was loose around her shoulders.

Cheryl had her long brunette locks curled into loose ringlets and added some bright red lipstick to brighten up her look, finished off with some wedge leopard print boots.

Although the jumpsuit may have cinched in the star’s tiny waist because of it’s simplicity it gave the impression of being similar to a boiler suit used by mechanics.

Although her boyfriend Tre didn’t seem to mind the look as he joined the girls on their night out. He stepped out in a trendy smart casual look in pants, shoes, a checked shirt and smart grey jacket.

The dancer finished off his look with a baggy beanie hat on his head shielding him from the London chill, while he wore glasses to complete the look. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

American Idol fashion face-off: Mariah Carey outshines Nicky Minaj again…

She certainly does not enjoy being put in the shade. And notorious diva Mariah Carey seized her chance to shine when her rival Nicki Minaj turned up late to an American Idol taping in Hollywood on Thursday.

The saucy singer looked almost at her best as she teetered her way into the venue surrounded by bodyguards. The 42-year-old had certainly pulled out all the stops, and was a real show-stopper dressed head to toe in gold.

Mother-of-two Mariah reveled in showing off her meaty yet defined legs in a high cut dress, while her strappy shoes also helped to show them in the best light.

And she was able to secure all of the attention after her fellow judge and rival made the unprofessional mistake of turning up two hours late. And even then she looked like she had been dragged through a hedge backwards, wearing a particularly unflattering outfit.

The 30-year-old, who hails from the rough New York neighborhood of Queens, may have been going for a ghetto fabulous look in her Hello Kitty slippers, fur jacket jeans and hooded top.

But the move backfired spectacularly, and the producers of the show will have been left speechless by her attire. The girls managed to steal all of the attention, but the show’s other judges Randy Jackson and Keith Urban were both in attendance. Via DailyMail.

The stylish way to travel! Alexandra Burke matches her luggage with her jacket as she jets off to LA…

Fifty shades of grey: The former X Factor winner looked a little less colourful as she attended a charity event in London earlier this week

Alexandra Burke is certainly embracing the pop star lifestyle and the fashion statements that come with it. The former X Factor winner was spotted at Heathrow airport on Thursday showing off her style credentials by donning a jacket in the same fabric as her suitcase.

The singer used the airport hall as her own personal runway to show off her matching orange and black outfit by German luxury label MCM. Jetting off to LA in style, the star made sure every part of her outfit was color-coordinated.

Both the tan colored leather jacket and the luggage featured the brand’s logo – which was a favorite with rappers in the 90s – and the colors coordinated with her sneakers and quirky beanie as well.

With the long transatlantic flight in mind, Alexandra kept comfortable in black leggings and a T-shirt. The star later tweeted a picture of herself in business class seat on the airplane.

She took off the coordinated accessories, pouted and made a peace sign to her Twitter followers.

She didn’t share what she would be doing once she arrived in LaLa land, simply writing on her page: ‘And I’m off …. See you beasties on the other side …. Xxx #LABound.’

But whatever her mission is in Hollywood, it’s sure to have something to do with making music. Alexandra has been spending a lot of time in the studio plotting her way back to the charts, after her last single only hit number 33 in the UK. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Cheryl Cole gets festive in novelty knit as she joins ‘Girls Aloud’ at BBC Maida Vale studios…

It’s been hailed as Christmas Jumper Day and it seems Cheryl Cole is more than happy to embrace the festive spirit. The Girls Aloud star turned up to the BBC Maida Vale Studios in London on Friday morning sporting her own take on festive knitwear.

The singer was seen grinning widely as she walked out of her chauffeur driven car wearing an old school retro jumper.

She kept warm in the top, which had a pink, yellow and white pattern, while she finished off her cute look with a small leather skirt underneath.

Cheryl opted for tights to complete the ensemble, while her nails were still painted red from her evening out the night before with bandmate Nicola Roberts and boyfriend Tre Holloway.

Nicola appeared to be missing from the studio visit, while Nadine Coyle, Kimberley Walsh and Sarah Harding were all in attendance. Nadine braved the cold more than her bandmates as she went for bare legs, flashing the flesh in a mini polka dot dress and heels.

Although she did keep her coat on as she made her way inside, and tied a bright yellow scarf around her neck.

Harding and Walsh instead went for pants, with Sarah going for a vibrant pair of printed bottoms with a loose black jumper and her blonde locks worn in a side ponytail. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

They recently starred together in The Heat, and it seems Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy struck up a friendship on set.

The two actresses were spotted enjoying a family day out in Disneyland in Anaheim, California, on Thursday. Sandra pushed son Louis around in a stroller and Melissa was joined by acting husband Ben Falcone.

The actresses bundled up in hats and coats as they strolled through the theme park and introduced baby Louis to all the Disney characters.

And Louis seemed content letting mum Sandra do all the heavy-lifting as he leaned back in his stroller and clutched a toy.

Meanwhile, Melissa was enjoying a popcorn treat as she walked ahead of her friend as she chatted to Ben. The two thespians are set to star in a new blockbuster by Bridesmaids director Paul Feig, set to be released in April.

Cop comedy The Heat is about an uptight FBI agent and an unconventional Boston police officer who are forced to work together. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Spotted: Kim Kardashian attending friend’s restaurant opening in a bib!

She’s best known for spilling out of her clothing rather than spilling on them, but it seems that was exactly what Kim Kardashian feared.

Attending the restaurant opening of her best friend Jonathan Cheban in Miami on Thursday , the big-bottomed reality princess donned an odd-looking white bib over her little black dress.

However, the strange white accessory of course did not distract from her curvacious figure, which was once again put on full display by a thigh-high split.

The figure-hugging dress featured a row of buttons on the bust, and it appears Kim added the white bib-like scarf to the outfit herself in an attempt to style it up, and make sure no food was spilled on the frock.

She donned her usual pair of stilettos and appeared in full make-up, leaving her long tresses straightened and falling down her back.

The Kardashian girl was joined by her brother-in-law Scott Disick on the night out, though there was no sign of her other famous sisters. Jonathan, a BFF to the Kardashian clan, seems to have been severely influenced by his time spend jetting around the world with the super star family.

His restaurant, Sushi Misaka, is specifically designed for high-profile guests, as it only has space for 60 people and boosts its own celebrity entrance, presumably to ensure all the famous diners will not be missed by the paparazzi. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

‘It’s incredible!’: Emeli Sandé‘s delight as her debut tops iTunes best selling albums of 2012 chart…

A winners smile! Emeli Sandehas the best selling album of 2012 on the UK iTunes charts

At the beginning of the year, very few people had heard of the singing sensation that is Emeli Sandé.

But after an incredible 2012 – which saw her perform not only at the Opening Ceremony for the Olympics, but also the Closing Ceremony and most recently, the X Factor final – the star has now come out on top.

According to iTunes, her debut album Our Version Of Events was the best selling record on the site in the UK. The star was followed in the charts by Ed Sheeran and Lana Del Rey, who also managed to wow iTunes users with their music.

The biracial British singer was overwhelmed to learn she had bagged the number one spot and send out a statement to thank her fans:

‘To hear that I’m iTunes’ Artist of the Year and that Our Version Of Events was the best-selling album on iTunes this year is just incredible!,’ it read. ‘Thank you for all your support and making this year even more special.’

Emeli also picked up a Brit Award this year, as well as three Mobo Awards.
Her current single collaboration with Labrinth, Beneath Your Beautiful, also reached the number one spot in the charts. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Twitter rolls out its own photo editing and filter features after Instagram bans its pics from being seen in tweets!

In the next salvo of an escalating war between two giants of social media, Twitter has announced new versions of its iOS and Android apps to mimic Instagram-style filters and editing software just one day after the Facebook-owned picture app completely blocked user’s ability to embed its photos in tweets.

The new Twitter app will allow users to take a pic, crop it, enhance it, run it through one of eight filters, and then share it, all without closing the app.
The filters were made by Aviary, a company that specializes in photo editing software for mobile apps.

Tech-watchers call it a defensive move against the looming giant of Instagram.
Photo filters have become wildly popular but it’s still uncertain how many users will adopt the new Twitter app as Instagram has developed its own unique identity.

Kevin Systrom, the CEO of the photo-sharing service that was snapped up by Facebook earlier this year, announced last week that Instagram has turned off support for ‘Twitter cards,’ signaling a deepening rift between two of the web’s biggest brands.

Twitter users started to complain earlier this week in public messages that Instagram photos were not displaying properly on Twitter’s website.

Clarifying the situation, Systrom later released a statement saying: ‘We believe the best experience is for us to link back to where the content lives.’ Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

Multiracial Love: Nicole Scherzinger and beau Lewis Hamilton attend Jack Reacher premiere…

The pair were looking very loved up as they attended the Jack Reacher premiere in Leicester Square on Monday night. Nicole and her F1 racing beau were seen staring into each other’s eyes as they hugged on the red carpet.

Lewis looked delighted to be spending some time with his girlfriend, who has been busy with the reality show since she joined the judging panel in June.
The 34-year-old singer looked suitably stylish for the event in a demure black dress.

The Zeynep Tosun garment boasted satin panels and quilted detail, cut out shoulders and a metal bow embellishment around her neck. Nicole teamed the dress with a pair of black peep toe heels and a snake-print clutch bag. She had her dark tresses pulled up into a tight bun. Visit DailyMail to continue reading…

‘Jack Reacher’ movie premiere…

Meeting his fans: The Hollywood A-lister signs autographs for all of his fans at the premiere

While most people covered up in coats and scarves, Rosamund Pike brought a touch of sunshine to the Jack Reacher premiere.

Not to be outdone by the wintery weather, the British star wore a canary yellow, backless dress as she hit the red carpet in Leicester Square on Monday night.

Joined by co-star Tom Cruise, the actress ensured that all eyes were on her in the floor-length Alexander McQueen gown as she posed for photographs.

Instead of opting for dark, dreary colors to match the weather, the former Bond girl fought off the winter blues in the bright, eye-catching dress.

With cutaway sides, the star must have felt the cold, but pulled off the look with confidence, showing off her tiny frame.

Looking as elegant as ever, and in great spirits, the 33-year-old smiled as she met fans and chatted on the red carpet.With her hair tied back in an elegant knot and with natural-looking, minimal make-up, the actress proved her style credentials.

Rosamund was joined by the film’s star Tom Cruise, who opted for a more casual red carpet look, ditching his usual suit.

The Mission Impossible actor wore a pair of dark blue jeans, a black jumper and a black suede jacket for the premiere of his latest action flick.

She might have had a hectic night last night, but X Factor judge Nicole Scherzinger also turned out to see the new film, with boyfriend Lewis Hamilton in tow.

The singer showed off her figure in a skin-tight black dress, while her other half looked every inch the Formula One driver in a casual jacket and sneakers.

Another star of the film, David Oyelowo, looked suave in a pinstripe suit, while Angela Riseborough looked a little more demure than last night in a buttoned up sheer shirt and burnt orange suit.

The new action film, which is based on the popular books by British author Lee Child, follows a retired military policeman who gets dragged into a murder case.
