‘My grandmother always told me: “Never look down on people unless you are helping them up.” That is a mantra I absolutely believe in’ ‘I don’t see her as a superwoman. She is just my mum, although she is an inspiration’ Sophia We are more used to seeing businesswoman Karren Brady sharp-suited and booted in Lord Sugar’s boardroom than enthusing over frocks in her walk-in wardrobe. It is the first time that the 44-year-old vice chairman of West Ham United football club has allowed cameras into her family home, in Solihull in the West Midlands, but with the new series of BBC1’s The Apprentice due to start next week and her latest book, Strong Woman: The Truth about Getting to the Top, flying off the shelves, she says the time…

With a CV that spans TV, theatre, film and radio and a bulging contacts list of celebrity pals, Denise Van Outen passed her interview to become HELLO!’s star contributor with flying colours. Over the coming months the Strictly Come Dancing finalist, former star of hit stage show Chicago, chatshow The Big Breakfast and 1990s sitcom Babes in the Wood, who had her own breakfast radio show on Capital and has a new weekend spot on Magic, will exclusively interview her famous friends on behalf of HELLO!. She will encourage them to reveal all about their love lives, family and colourful careers. As we catch up with Denise, 39 – who’s married to musical theatre star Lee Mead, 31, with whom she has daughter Betsy, who turns three this week –…

Her sister is increasingly practised at performing charitable duties and now Pippa Middleton is following in the very capable footsteps of the Duchess of Cambridge. On the same day that Kate visited the Willows Primary School in Wythenshawe, Manchester, Pippa headed to Berkshire’s Mary Hare School for profoundly and severely deaf children to open a £2million boarding house. The 29-year-old author and food columnist learnt about the school through a friend. At Christmas she attended its production of Mary Poppins before conducting a book signing of her party-planning tome Celebrate in a nearby pub, donating 10 per cent of sales to the school. Having seen first hand what Mary Hare does for its pupils, she became an ambassador for the school, announcing at the time: “I wanted to help out…

Maxima of the Netherlands – who becomes Europe’s youngest queen when her husband Willem-Alexander is inaugurated as the country’s monarch this week – responded easily to a number of hard-hitting questions in her last interview as Crown Princess. Yet there was one pressing query – “Can you tell us what you’ll wear for the investiture?” – which was answered with a laugh and a simple: “No.” From that moment on it was anyone’s guess as to what the Argentine-born royal would wear for her grand moment at Amsterdam’s Nieuwe Kirk, to take place just hours after the abdication of her mother-in-law Queen Beatrix, 75. But with the royal collection at Maxima’s fingertips, there was one thing that was certain: she’d have her pick of some truly amazing gems. Maxima, 41,…

GARETH MALONE Second child for music star Choirmaster and broadcaster Gareth Malone is celebrating becoming a dad for the second time. “It’s a boy! Gilbert Malone born on Saturday. Very proud of my brilliant wife. Mother and baby doing well,” tweeted the 37-year-old, who was awarded an OBE last year. Gareth and wife Becky are also parents to a daughter, Esther, who was born in 2010. Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein, 61, and his wife Georgina Chapman, 37, have named their baby boy Dashiell Max Robert, it emerged last week. He is the first son for Harvey, who has three daughters from a previous marriage. ZOOEY DESCHANEL Apology for bomb caption blunder New Girl star Zooey Deschanel has received a formal apology after a US TV station named her as a…

It is one thing to look well-dressed pre-pregnancy, but quite another to look sleek and stylish when your figure changes by the day At almost seven months pregnant, the Duchess of Cambridge looks so swellegant, it isn’t surprising she won yet another style accolade last week: being named the world’s best-dressed mum-to-be by Vanity Fair. Kate’s blending of high street with high fashion helped her pip expectant movie stars Hallé Berry and Penélope Cruz, and supermodels Eva Herzigova and Lara Stone, to the No. 1 spot on the Top Ten Best-Dressed Pregnant Ladies list. And stepping out last week on her four engagements, she showed exactly why she is such an accomplished fashion queen, as she bumped up her style in four different outfits. “Unsurprisingly, the Duchess of Cambridge has…

HOLLYWOOD PAYS TRIBUTE AS BARBRA IS HONOURED FOR HER GLITTERING FILM CAREER Some of the film world’s most famous faces flocked to New York’s Lincoln Center last week to see Barbra Streisand (above right, with husband James Brolin) pick up the 40th annual Chaplin Award in honour of her contribution to cinema. Among those paying tribute to the 71-year-old star, who received her gong from former US President Bill Clinton, were Michael Douglas, who was joined by his stunning wife Catherine Zeta-Jones (above), Pierce Brosnan (right, with wife Keely Shaye Smith), Liza Minnelli (far right, with Jeremy Irons) and Barbra’s Funny Girl co-star Omar Sharif, who described her in his video tribute as “the one I loved the most”.

MAGMA-FICENT This amazing natural firework display was captured on film by German photographer Martin Rietze when the Japanese volcano Sakurajima erupted recently. The electric light show that crackles across the red-hot lava rain is believed to have something to do with the electrically charged particles of ash reacting with the atmosphere when they shoot into the sky. PLANE SAILING Flying comes naturally to the squid, Japanese scientists have discovered. With jet propulsion from a nozzle that ejects water near its head and aerodynamic lift from the spread of its fins and tentacles, this mollusc can move through the air at up to 11.2 metres per second. By comparison, the world’s fastest man, Usain Bolt, averaged a mere 10.31 metres per second at the 2012 Olympics. “We should no longer consider…

If, like the majority of Brits, you struggle to eat your five portions of fresh fruit and vegetables a day, our handy guidelines will help you up your intake with ease Only one in five people in Britain are consuming the recommended five portions of fruit and vegetables a day, according to a new global survey. At 22 per cent we still score higher than the rest of Europe – with an average of only eight per cent of people meeting the healthy-eating target – but the majority of us could do a lot better, the Nielsen survey discovered. In fact, the typical Brit eats just three to three and a half portions of their five a day and this shortfall could have health implications in the long term. According…

Suzanne Young and Brent Crawford After their church ceremony, Suzanne and Brent enjoyed the sea air with their guests at the Redcastle Oceanfront Hotel in Donegal. Catherine Hatchard and Alex Neill University sweethearts Catherine and Alex wed in the OBE Chapel at St Paul's, and jetted off on honeymoon to Mauritius. Holly Maguire and Michael Dwan Holly and Michael kicked off their big day with a ceremony at St Nicholas Church, Liverpool, before repairing to Thornton Manor, Cheshire for their reception, where the bride's father Paul started the dancing with a moving rendition of Amazed by Lonestar.…

The Mad Men star and single mum has some weighty issues to grapple with as the retro ad drama returns after a break Memorable characters are the stock in trade of TV drama Mad Men, set in a New York ad agency in the 1960s. And, as the sixth series airs in Britain, few have attracted more controversy than Betty. It was the role that turned actress January Jones into an instant sex symbol, a chilly Hitchcock-style blonde who first enjoyed the sympathy of the show’s fans as Don Draper’s long-suffering wife. But as Betty’s behaviour turned darker and very un-motherly, viewers began to turn against the character. On top of that, January had to spend much of the last series as “Fat Betty”, weighed down by prosthetics as her…

When Dawn French married her boyfriend of just over a year last weekend, fuss was kept to a minimum. The comedy star exchanged vows with charity worker Mark Bignell in a private ceremony at a luxury Cornish eco-hotel. Among close friends and family at The Scarlet, overlooking Mawgan Porth beach near Newquay, were Dawn’s comedy partner Jennifer Saunders, screenwriter Richard Curtis and comediennes Kathy Burke and Sue Perkins. Alison Moyet sang at the reception, as did Dawn’s daughter Billie, 22, from her marriage, to Lenny Henry. Each of the venue’s 37 rooms was decorated in a “spring woodland” theme, with rustic arrangements of peonies and lily-of-the-valley in jam-jars. At the reception guests were treated to a fireworks display as they looked out on the beach below the hotel, with red…

‘She seems like a genuine person. It is nice she makes the time for something she thinks is worth doing’ It was a feast of fun when the Duchess of Cornwall joined forces with showbiz royalty Barbara Windsor at Clarence House to toast the Big Lunch Community Awards winners. Camilla is patron of the Big Lunch – a scheme that encourages communities to get together over a shared meal – and former EastEnders’ Queen Vic landlady Barbara Windsor has been an ambassador since the scheme launched five years ago. Barbara helped judge the five winners of the awards, which recognised positive changes that have taken place in the cities, towns and villages that have held Big Lunches. The Duchess, 65, wearing a blue Anna Valentine wool dress, greeted Barbara warmly…

PEACHES GELDOF ANIMAL MAGIC AHEAD OF NEW ARRIVAL If there is one person who knows all about feeding time, it’s Peaches Geldof, so who better to be treated to VIP access to the animal enclosures at London Zoo than this fun-loving mum? Last week – just days before the 24-year-old and her husband Thomas Cohen welcomed their eagerly awaited second son Phaedra – she managed a last-minute family outing with Tom and their one-year-old, Astala (right). Determined to get the most out of the day, wild-at-heart Peaches (left) persuaded staff to allow the trio to get up close and personal with the animals, taking the opportunity to compare the meerkat… and the aardvarks. “We got a personal meet and greet,” she tweeted. “They were so cute and gentle; they let…

Two investigated over topless Duchess photos A paparazzi photographer and the Italian publisher of French Closer magazine have been placed under formal investigation for invasion of privacy after topless photos of the Duchess of Cambridge were published last September. If found guilty, Ernesto Mauri – who heads Mondadori, owned by former Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi – could be fined up to €45,000 (£38,000) and the magazine could be closed for five years. Photographer Valerie Suau denies she took the pictures of Kate sunbathing on a private estate in France. If found guilty, she faces up to “one year in prison and a fine of €45,000” said a spokesman for the prosecutor. At the time, St James’s Palace said the photographs were “reminiscent of the worst excesses of the press during the life…

‘I haven’t read the Harry Potter books, but I have seen all the films’ Prince William In a week that has seen the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry enchanting old and young alike, it was most appropriate that the trio ended a hectic week of work and royal engagements on a visit to the home of the world’s favourite wizard, Harry Potter. These three – soon to be four – are the future of the monarchy, and the Queen marked the week following her 87th birthday by happily taking a back seat as the Kensington Crew stepped into the spotlight. In their busiest week since last year’s London Olympics, the six-months-pregnant Duchess of Cambridge carried out four engagements, Prince Harry three and even Prince William – who…

Forget the summer of love. This year, it’s the summer of glamorous baby bumps. And it’s not just the Duchess of Cambridge who is pregnant; several of our favourite celebrities are preparing to welcome a bundle of joy over the next few months and, as their due dates draw ever closer, excitement is building. Some are pregnant with their second child, like Jessica Simpson; others are first-time mothers, like Sophie Winkleman and Kim Kardashian. In Hollywood, star mums-to-be include Penélope Cruz and Halle Berry, who tells us all about her “miracle” pregnancy aged 46, on page 72. Meanwhile in the music world, Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas is rocking a blossoming figure, and Michael Bublé is expecting his firstborn with wife Luisana. Here we take a look at various…

SINGER AND NEW MUM SHAKIRA LOVES LIFE ‘WHENEVER WHEREVER’ WITH MILAN Pop star Shakira is the first to admit that adjusting from jet-set singer to a life of nappies and night-feeds hasn’t been plain sailing. “I didn’t expect babies to need so many diapers,” laughs the 36-year-old, who welcomed her first child – a son, Milan, with football ace boyfriend Gerard Piqué – in January. “Nobody told me they needed to be changed so often. I mean he’s a great, great baby. He’s an easy one, I think. But nobody told me it would be this hard. It takes a lot of energy from you.” Not that the Colombian star is complaining. “I love it, I’m really enjoying every bit of it,” she says. “It’s just that it’s not as…

YES, CHEF! London’s Old Billingsgate was transformed into an English country scene, complete with grassy paths and displays of herbs and vegetables, for the third annual Relais & Châteaux Dîner des Grands Chefs. The 600 guests sipped champagne before sampling some of the 15 five-course menus created by 46 chefs working in teams of three led by Raymond Blanc. They then took part in a charity auction, raising more than £100,000 for Action Against Hunger.

The TV critic and ITV1’s Daybreak showbiz editor turns roving reporter for HELLO! to bring us the hottest telly gossip. This week, Dawn O’Porter plays the generation game and the return of the troubleshooter who means business Dawn O’Porter has never shied away from tackling taboo subjects but in her latest TV show the 34-year-old has taken on one of her toughest subjects to date: teenagers. “I spy on them with their mums and dads – who they think are away – by watching a live stream from the house and seeing how the kids behave,” says Dawn (above) of Undercover Mums for new channel TLC. And she tells me she ended up feeling more empathy towards the teenagers. “It’s a horrible thing to say ‘blame the parents’ but…

With a little over a week to go before her second child is due, it’s little wonder that Coleen Rooney has babies on her mind. But then again, she has also been busy putting the finishing touches to her first children’s range. It was at the launch of her Cool Candy children’s range for littlewoods.com that HELLO! caught up with the fashion designer, who’s also the wife of Manchester United footballer Wayne Rooney. Looking chic in 5in YSL heels, a black Littlewoods dress and J.Crew necklace, Coleen looked more catwalk model than expectant mum. Her equally stylish celebrity friends – including former Emmerdale actress Sheree Murphy, Atomic Kitten Natasha Hamilton and TV presenter Danielle Lloyd – brought their own children along to enjoy the tea party at Liverpool’s Hope Street…

He has been called one of London’s most eligible bachelors, but it looks as though James Middleton is off the singles market after falling for actress and TV presenter Donna Air. The Duchess of Cambridge’s brother, 26, and the former Byker Grove star, 33, were snapped holding hands as they left private members’ club Loulou’s in London’s Mayfair last week, where they had been joined by James’s sister Pippa and her stockbroker boyfriend Nico Jackson and by Donna’s close friend Princess Beatrice and her mother Sarah, Duchess of York. Before hitting Loulou’s, James and Donna, who has a nine-year-old daughter, Freya, from her relationship with conservationist and businessman Damian Aspinall, had been to see satirical musical The Book of Mormon. The couple first met in February, at another private members’…

‘We wanted to thank each other for a beautiful ten years together’ The day after her wedding ten years ago, actress Tricia Penrose made the wish that she and her new husband Mark Simpkin would renew their marriage vows a decade later. Now that dream has come true for the 43-year-old actress, in a romantic ceremony in Cheshire, attended by close family, including their sons, Jake, nine, and Freddy, four, and a host of celebrity friends, among them Samia Ghadie, Coleen Nolan, Rylan Clark and Gillian Taylforth. “It wasn’t about renewing our vows because we needed to. For us it was an opportunity to celebrate how our marriage has grown stronger and stronger,” says Tricia, who was dressed in the same hand-beaded Thai ivory silk gown by Hollywood Dreams she…

’I was shocked to find out I was pregnant... Olivier and I wanted to be parents and God made the dream come true’ In a light and airy suite of the Alvear Palace Hotel in Buenos Aires, Halle Berry welcomes HELLO! with a smile. Taking a seat in a comfortable Louis XV armchair, she says, “I can’t wait to get out and explore this city.” She constantly toys with her spectacular engagement ring, a four-carat emerald and diamond bauble that her fiancé Olivier Martinez, whom she’ll wed in the coming months, gave her last year. The 46-year-old X-Men star is hypnotic, even dressed down in leather leggings and a dark, baggy jumper. She looks radiant. And not surprisingly. Our meeting comes just days after she confirmed that she’s expecting a…

When the hello! team arrives at Louis Smith’s house bright and early on a Monday morning, a damage limitation exercise is in full swing. The Olympic gymnast had thrown a “lively” housewarming party on the Saturday night and some serious clearing up is in order. The decorators have already been in to patch up the paintwork, the pool man is in the garden fixing the hot tub and Louis’s mum Elaine is still cleaning the kitchen. In the middle of the bustle, Louis is a beacon of calm, coolly singing along to a Motown classic blasting out of the sound system. “He’s so laid back,” says his mum, passing by with a dishcloth in hand. “He’s never rushed in his life.” ‘I want a little Louis Smith Jr running around,…

Three months since getting engaged, model and former Miss World Rosanna Davison, daughter of chart-topping singer Chris de Burgh, is yet to go shopping for a wedding dress. But she’s had plenty of food for thought after taking centre stage in HELLO!’s exclusive photoshoot, her slender, 5ft 11in frame clothed in exquisite bridal haute couture. From Zuhair Murad’s gown with its jewel-encrusted bodice and snowflake-like feathered train, Stéphane Rolland’s cashmere embroidered Tsarina design, and Elie Saab’s silk and organza confection; to Georges Chakra’s lace and feather, modern fairytale-inspired creation and Karl Lager feld’s divine ultra-feminine, knee-length design – a modern twist on classic Chanel – our beautiful bride-to-be declared them all “amazing”. BIG DAY DREAMING But when it comes to her own big day, Rosanna – who will wed businessman…

HELLO! goes behind the scenes of The Great Gatsby to discover how the classic 1920s make-up looks can still be a roaring success today With an all-star cast including Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan and Isla Fisher, The Great Gatsby is one of this year’s most highly anticipated films and puts flapper girl style back in the spotlight. We ask the film’s make-up designer Maurizio Silvi for his take on this distinctive look and tips for how to wear it well. Inspired byThe Great Gatsby, this season’s catwalks showcased the beautiful make-up of the 1920s. What makes it so appealing? “The ’20s look is having a comeback. The costumes in the film and new cosmetic collections will, I think, influence the season. Among the fashions that will remain forever in history,…
