‘The animals are what make this home. They give it heart’ In the winter dusk, against the backdrop of possibly the prettiest Georgian manor house in England, Lady Chichester is feeding her camels, among her other animals. “This is what I do every afternoon when I’m at home in the country,” says the scarfled and booted Countess, whose alter ego as a trustee of the Royal Opera House and vice chairman of St John’s Smith Square is all “theatre, smart dresses and jewellery”. Her menagerie is charm itself: the Kunekune pigs, Ruby and Pearl, who come when called and shake a trotter on request; two miniature Sicilian donkeys; a flock of characterful alpacas; Gwenllian and Cariad, the badger-faced Welsh mountain sheep; and Llarry the tame llama. Lady Chichester’s daughter, Lady…

What better way to see in the new year than in a beautiful beach resort with your other half? That was clearly the thought going through the minds of these loved-up celebrity couples, who jetted out to tropical climes to start 2013 in true A-list style. Jennifer Aniston put rumours of a pregnancy to rest when she displayed her enviably toned tummy in Mexico’s hotspot, Cabo San Lucas. The actress, who frequently holidays in the exclusive resort on the Baja California peninsula, famed for its beaches, shops, and spas, was revelling in down time with her hunky fiancé Justin Theroux. The pair had chartered a private jet for their vacation – although, contrary to some gossip sites’ predictions, they didn’t tie the knot and start the year as husband and…

Intent on kicking off the new year with some family fun in the sun, some of our most glamorous celebrities jetted off to some of the world’s most exotic locations. While stars such as Jessica Alba and Myleene Klass dressed for the occasion in stylish beachwear, Rod Stewart opted for white shorts and a vest for a trip to the beach with his clan in Florida. The Some Guys Have All the Luck singer, who celebrates his 68th birthday on Thursday, looked on as wife Penny Lancaster, in multicoloured hot pants and a sheer white top over a red bikini, played with their sons Alastair, seven, and Aiden, who will turn two in February. Rod’s 33-year-old daughter Kimberly, from his first marriage to Alana Hamilton, also joined them, bringing along…

Hats off to the royal family for knowing just how to see out the year in style. The Queen attended the final Sunday service of 2012 at St Mary Magdalene Church on her Sandringham estate wearing a bold fuchsia coat with black trim and matching black and pink hat, while her daughter-in-law the Countess of Wessex (left) went titfer tat in a similar jaunty style, albeit in more neutral hues. The pair were greeted by a crowd of around 200 and ahead of the 40-minute service they spent time mingling with the well-wishers, including one small supporter, who presented the Queen with a bunch of pink carnations that matched her outfit perfectly (right). They were joined by the Duke of Edinburgh, who appeared in fine spirits, making the short journey…

Pop princess Kylie Minogue kicked off 2013 with a bang – literally – when she took on creative ambassador duties at the spectacular Sydney fireworks display on New Year’s Eve. The On A Night Like This singer wore a suitably sparkly dress to start off the countdown to midnight, heralding a fireworks display a cross Sydney Harbour that cost a dazzling AU $ 6.6 million (£4.2m) (below), set to a soundtrack of Kylie’s biggest hits. And the impressive display didn’t fail to wow the 44-year-old. “The atmosphere was electric and it was a night I will never forget,” she enthused on New Year’s Day. “Sydney has the reputation as the New Year’s Eve capital of the world – and it certainly lived up to that promise,” added Kylie, who was…

Since going public with their romance in December, Taylor Swift and Harry Styles have been practically inseparable. The loved-up pop pair spent some time before Christmas in Harry’s home county of Cheshire, where they celebrated Taylor’s 23rd birthday in sweet style, with a delivery of 23 cupcakes from a local bakery. Then they sloped off to Park City, Utah, on a skiing trip together with pop pals Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez. For New Year’s Eve, they pulled out all the stops, ringing in 2013 in time-honoured fashion in Times Square – by sharing a midnight smooch. The 18-year-old One Direction star danced away the first part of the evening at Jay-Z and Coldplay’s concert at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, before heading to central Manhattan to support his girlfriend as she…

She is the only one of Princess Caroline’s four children to bear a title and Princess Alexandra of Hanover certainly proved herself queen of the ice last week. Cutting a beautifully regal figure in a diamante-studded dress (left), Alexandra, 13, was cheered on by (above) her aunt Charlene – a sportstar in her own right as a former Olympic swimmer for her native South Africa, whose husband Albert was part of Monaco’s national Olympic bobsled team – as well as her mother and big brother Pierre (all above). They were all clearly impressed by Alexandra’s graceful moves on the rink at the tenth annual Figure Skating Championships in Monaco, the latest in a string of competitions that have seen the young royal’s efforts rewarded with silver and gold.…

The Duchess of Cambridge has plenty of reasons to look forward to a thrilling 2013, starting with her 31st birthday on Wednesday. But the highlight of her year will, of course, be the birth of her and the Duke’s first child this summer. A royal baby means Kate and William will need a bigger home and more staff, requiring planning and re-arranging. Will William leave his job as an RAF Search and Rescue helicopter pilot? Will the couple find themselves a new country home if they leave Anglesey? How will they decorate their new apartment in Kensington Palace? And who will they choose as godparents for their child? The arrival of a new heir to the throne will make this year really special, not just for the royal family, but…

Comedian Jim Davidson was bailed by police last week after being questioned on suspicion of sexual offences dating back approximately 25 years. The 59-year-old, who had been due to appear on the new series of Celebrity Big Brother, was arrested in London by officers from Operation Yewtree, the investigation set up in the wake of the Jimmy Savile sex abuse scandal. He was bailed to return in March, pending further inquiries. “The complainants were then in their mid-20s. Jim vigorously denies the allegations,” said a solicitor for the former Big Break presenter. “He answered police questions as fully as he was able to after this passage of time. He has not been charged with any offence.”…

IT’S OFFICIAL: DAME HELEN IS THE QUEEN OF HOLLYWOOD Oscar-winning The Queen actress Dame Helen Mirren unveils her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, delighted not only by the award, but also its location next to fellow Brit Colin Firth. “I couldn’t be prouder and more happy that I’m actually going to finally lie next to Colin Firth, something I’ve been wanting to do for a very long time,” joked the 67-year-old, who was joined by husband Taylor Hackford (right). The actress, whose film Hitchcock is tipped to be an Oscar nominee this week, also wanted a quiet moment with her star. “I am going to have to come here tomorrow and have another look at it, when everybody is gone,” she said. KATIE MAKES SURE SHE’S A HANDS-ON…

Ashley Roberts, last year’s runner-up on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me out of Here!, has swapped the heat of the Australian jungle for the sometimes frosty Dancing on Ice judging panel. The former Pussycat Doll won the hearts of the nation in the reality show with her positive attitude and producers doubtless hope she will help thaw relations between Jason Gardiner and Karen Barber on the ice-skating show. Jason and Karen clashed in a blazing row in 2011 and the acid-tongued choreographer missed last year’s series as a result. Ashley, 31, wearing an eye-catching pink dress, stood between the feisty pair at the launch of the glittering new series, which features Pamela Anderson, Samia Ghadie, Olympian Beth Tweddle and Anthea Turner among the contestants, with British Winter Olympic superstars Jayne…

SIXTY GLORIOUS YEARS IN FILM Art lovers gathered at London’s Serpentine Gallery to celebrate the opening of Jonas Mekas’s show of film and photographic work from a remarkable career spanning 60 years.

STYLE AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT The stars were shining Mediterranean-style when Lebanese-born designer Noor Fares and Greek heiress Eugenie Niarchos showed their Galactic Garden jewellery collection at the Shizaru Gallery in London’s Mayfair. Guests including Camilla Al Fayed and Julia Restoin Roitfeld enjoyed champagne and spiced tofu and hummus curry leaf canapés as they admired the…

Ever since Dr Michael Mosley shed nearly a stone in five weeks following the 5:2 eating plan for his programme “Eat, Fast and Live Longer” for the BBC2 science series Horizon last year, intermittent fasting has become a diet phenomenon. Fans say you will not only lose weight, but be healthier, too – and scientific research appears to back this up. The 5:2 plan followed by Dr Mosley is simple: women consume just 500 calories, and men 600, for two – consecutive or non-consecutive – days each week, then eat normally for the other five days. However, it is nothing new. In the US, studies into longevity have long concluded that calorie restriction and intermittent fasting can lead to better health and longer life. We have had the dodo Diet…

One of the hardest-working women in showbusiness, 79-year-old New Yorker Joan Rivers has recently completed a sell-out UK tour and is busy with her E! Entertainment show Fashion Police, in which she and her co-hosts cast a critical eye over what the stars have been wearing. The no-holds-barred comedienne regularly performs at venues all over the world and is the author of a dozen books, including I Hate Everyone… Starting With Me. She also stars with her only daughter Melissa, 44, in the reality show Joan and Melissa: Joan Knows Best, which follows their trials and tribulations as they share a home together. Joan, who is grandmother to 12-year-old Cooper, divides her time between New York and Los Angeles. She considers herself an Anglophile and “adores” spending time in the…

When it comes to ringing in the new year, there’s no doubt that it helps to have friends in high places. Shunning the tropical hotspots favoured by many celebrities, Madonna and Anne Hathaway opted instead for the wintry wonderland of Gstaad, where they were guests of couturier Valentino in his luxury ski chalet. One website reported that Valentino and his longterm partner Giancarlo Giammetti – the honorary president of the fashion house – had spent €500,000 (£406,000) on a lavish New Year’s Eve party, at which Madonna and Anne reportedly serenaded the designer. The 54-year-old pop legend and the 30-yearold Les Misérables actress seemed to get along famously, judging by a photo posted on Twitter of the two A-listers holding hands while standing alongside Giancarlo. After dining on fine foods…

Clearly, there is little need for new year’s diet resolutions for this select group of celebrities. Dotted in exotic locales around the globe, some of the world’s most beautiful women were definitely bikini-ready for their festive holidays. Demonstrating she’s just as toned as models less than half her age, Cindy Crawford, 46, cut a stunning figure as she strolled across the sands of Cabo San Lucas in Mexico in a flowing kaftan by Melissa Odabash. Looking sleek in a white top over a striped bikini, the X Factor judge and Pussycat Doll star Nicole Scherzinger displayed her “Schamazing” frame while on a romantic break with her beau Lewis Hamilton. The 34-year-old took the Formula 1 driver to her native Hawaii for Christmas and the New Year, where they spent time…

With their hands cradling her baby bump, a beaming Kim Kardashian and Kanye West celebrated their “New Year, New Beginnings” with the announcement that they are expecting their first child. The couple, who have been dating for about eight months, say they feel “so blessed and lucky” about the news, which Kanye excitedly revealed to fans while he was on stage at an Atlantic City concert last week. Appearing two days later at a New Year’s Eve party at 1 Oak nightclub Las Vegas, which Kim reportedly received $300,000 (£184,000) to host, the reality TV star admitted she was trying to get used to the changes in her body. “I haven’t had any morning sickness, but it still isn’t the easiest,” she said. “It’s not as easy as people think.…

There were no shrinking violetsat Queen Margrethe of Denmark’s New Year bash. While their husbands Prince Joachim and Crown Prince Frederik wore traditional military dress uniforms, Princess Marie (above) and Crown Princess Mary (right and top right) opted to boldly glow, in vividly hued gowns. Marie chose a hot-pink satin gown for the annual event, accessorising with the tiara she wore for her wedding in 2008. But all eyes were on stylish Mary, who was looking her absolute zest in a figure-flattering off-theshoulder orange design by Jesper Hovring – the dress she wore to the event three years ago, this time teamed with ruby tiara and necklace. The banquet, held each year at Christian VII’s Palace in Copenhagen for members of the Order of the Elephant, Denmark’s highest order of…

His Playboy Mansion in Beverly Hills is party central, but it was an extra-special celebration for Hugh Hefner when he married on-off girlfriend Crystal Harris. The intimate ceremony, beneath a floral archway on the mansion’s grand staircase in front of a select group of family and friends, saw the Playboy mogul, 86, pledge his loyalty to Crystal, who is 60 years his junior. Hugh’s 83-year-old brother was his chief groomsman and even pet spaniel Charlie had a starring role, dapper in doggy tails. “Crystal & I married on New Year’s Eve in the Mansion with Keith as my Best Man,” Hugh tweeted afterwards. “Love that girl!” It was second time lucky for the couple, who met in 2008 and announced their engagement on Christmas Eve 2010. They were to wed…

Every relationship has its baggage and Cheryl Cole’s romance with dancer Tre Holloway is no exception. The couple saw in the new year in New York and at the end of the visit wheeled their suitcases from the hotel to their waiting car (left) – despite Cheryl’s towering heels. It certainly looks like the wheel thing for Cheryl, who started dating Tre in July. The pair are said to be “inseparable” and during their US trip spent a night at Tre’s mother’s home in New Jersey. Despite sub-zero temperatures, the singer looked chic in leather trousers and a belted coat (right) – a long way from the casual style she showcases in the video for her single Ghetto Baby, in which she dazzles with her main man in retro sportswear…

Naomi Campbell takes few things sitting down. However, the model was left without a leg to stand on when a torn ligament meant she was snapped wheelchair-bound in New York (left). It emerged last week the injury had been sustained when she was “knocked over and robbed” in Paris late last year – which, according to the New York Post, left her “very upset and shaken up”. US media reported that Naomi had suffered a knee injury and had been flown to Colorado. There, she was reportedly treated by orthopaedic surgeon J Richard Steadman, whose patients have included football star Ronaldo. Ensuring the model gets the best security treatment, meanwhile, is her boyfriend Vladimir Doronin (together, above right), who’s said to have beefed up her body guard team. The French…

’We were very lucky to have the Princess’s name. It’s extraordinary how it opened doors and enabled us to have a seat at the table’ The new year brings with it a new challenge for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry – taking on the ownership and safeguarding the income of the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund. The fund, which was established within days of the death of the Princes’ mother in 1997 and has since given away more than £105m to worthy causes, closed as a staffed, operational organisation on 31 December. In March, it will fall under the care of the Royal Foundation of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry. The royal trio’s foundation will safeguard the fund’s name and ensure…

‘Every time I walk on the diving board, I am terrified. Every single time. Terrified. I can’t look down because it is so high’ Olympic diving star Tom Daley (left) wins medals with his eyes closed ‘HRH may be bemused at being a fashion icon, but he’s proved himself the king of tailoring’ GQ magazine says “Suits you, Sir!” to the Prince of Wales ‘If you’re determined to make the party, dress in your best, expect the worst’ More sartorial wisdom, this time from Sir Terry Wogan ‘I love your country, Russia, its people, its history, its writers. I love your culture, your intelligence’ Actor Gérard Depardieu goes to Russia with love after being granted citizenship following a tax row with his native France ‘I sometimes hate myself for being…

‘When I got to the entrance of the church with my dad, I couldn’t wait’ One year after lifting the Strictly Come Dancing glitterball trophy, McFly drummer Harry Judd had an even bigger reason to celebrate: his marriage to violinist Izzy Johnston in a magical, festive church ceremony in Hertfordshire. “It was just perfection,” says Harry of their Christmas wedding, which also included performances by both McFly and Izzy’s classical musician brothers, as well as a spectacular first dance, complete with lifts and spins. “Genuinely the best day ever,” he adds. “Izzy looked absolutely beautiful.” The couple were joined by celebrity friends, including actress sisters Kara and Hannah Tointon, former footballer and Strictly contestant Robbie Savage and former Busted band member Matt Willis and his TV presenter wife Emma. Harry’s…

Anton Du Beke and Jerry Hall were not the only ones disappointed when they were the second couple knocked out of the latest series of Strictly Come Dancing. So, too, were Anton’s legion of fans – but there is good news, as later this month he and his professional dance partner and fellow Strictly star Erin Boag take to the floor for a nationwide dance tour, Anton and Erin Go to Hollywood. “Think Fred and Ginger, top hats and canes, beautiful sparkling dresses – for Erin, not me! – and you get the idea,” Anton tells hello!. It’s the fifth tour for the pair, who have danced together since meeting in 1997, and features hits such as That’s Entertainment! and numbers from classic musicals including Gigi and Easter Parade. “We’ve…

‘I would say I’ve lost a lot in material terms, but the material is just material. What I lost had a lot of sentimental value’ They’ve been dating since autumn but glamorous Goga Ashkenazi, the owner of French label Vionnet, and Fiat heir Lapo Elkann have kept their relationship largely low key. However, all that changed last week after intruders broke into the Uruguayan mansion where the pair were holidaying and made off with a reported £2.8million in jewellery. London-based oil and gas tycoon Goga, 32, and Lapo, 35, were spending the run-up to the new year in the exclusive resort of Punta del Este – known as “The Hamptons of South America” – when thieves broke in and stole 17 pieces of jewellery and more than £20,000 in cash…

‘They won’t get married but enjoy spending time together. Simon always remains close to his exes’ He has made it an annual event and, clearly reluctant to break with tradition, music mogul Simon Cowell saw in the new year surrounded by a bevy of beautiful women in sunny Barbados. The X Factor boss was holidaying with close friends and former flames by his side – including ex-fiancée Mezhgan Hussainy, from whom he split last year. The party included 1980s pop singer Sinitta, another ex-girlfriend, as well as Simon’s friend, model Lizzie Cundy, but 53-year-old Simon spent most of his time with 39-yearold make-up artist Mezhgan – whom he had described as “The One” before admitting that he wasn’t really cut out for marriage. They were spotted enjoying a jetski ride…

So thrilled was Len Goodman to marry his long-term love Sue Barrett (together, below left) that he took to the dancefloor with her for “a spot of dance-teacher dancing” – and even struck a pose afterwards with Strictly Come Dancing professional Anton Du Beke (right). The cha-cha-charming Strictly judge married Sue, 47, his girlfriend of more than ten years, at private dining club Mosimann’s in Belgrave Square, in front of 30 friends and family – who thought they were simply going to lunch. “We’ve had a marvellous day, with marvellous food surrounded by all my dearest family and friends,” Len, 68, told the Daily Mail of the £25,000 wedding, which included a champagne reception and five-course meal. “And now my gorgeous Sue is the new Mrs Goodman.” Len, 68, and…

It was difficult to know who has the leading role in Charlotte Casiraghi’s life right now – actor boyfriend Gad Elmaleh or her adorable pet pooch. Both accompanied the socialite, keen horsewoman and Gucci model as she travelled to Nice to spend the festive season with her family. Charlotte and Gad were first spotted together in a French nightclub in December 2011, shortly after her split from long-term boyfriend Alex Dellal. Although now an item for more than a year, the couple are rarely photographed together. Discreet it may be, but the romance would appear to have the blessing of Charlotte’s mother, Princess Caroline of Monaco. Last summer Gad, 41, accompanied Charlotte, 26, on a cruise in the Mediterranean with her family and in September she joined him at the…

She was one of the most photographed women the world has ever known, yet until now this image (right) has remained a secret. Last week, more than 15 years after her death, a black-and-white shot of the young Lady Diana Spencer came to light, showing the future Princess of Wales in 1979, when she was aged 18, relaxing in a chalet in Val Claret in the French Alps. In the background her friend Adam Russell – the greatgrandson of former Tory Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin – reads a book that he’s resting on her shoulder. In 1981 – two days after Diana’s engagement to the Prince of Wales (together, left) – the picture came into the possession of the Daily Mirror newspaper and it appears a decision was made not…

A sparkling blaze of light bursts over the Thames as London rings in the New Year. Some 250,000 revellers thronged the riverbank to catch the spectacle and hear the chimes of Big Ben.

Instead, he’s perfecting his “game face” for when he comes up against Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly for Best Entertainment Presenter. “It it was their 13th time being nominated I’d be annoyed, but since it’s their 12th I’m just fine,” Dermot, 39, jokes with HELLO! about the award ( like all the awards, the winner is decided by a public vote). “The boys are terrific and everyone going up against them knows they’ll probably win, so I have to practice putting on my ‘I’ve lost to Ant and Dec’…
