‘There is an energy here that allows me to regenerate and recharge, to relax and recuperate’ Arriving in the magical Mediterranean, writes Tamara Beckwith, I was fully prepared for an exclusive photo shoot and ready to take a closer look at the private side of musician, singer song writer, photographer and philanthropist Julian Lennon. I was excited but slightly apprehensive. I’ve known Julian for about 18 years. We met through mutual friends and he was a regular sighting at all the most fun private parties in Los Angeles in the late 1990s. Being the only son of Beatles legend John Lennon and his first wife Cynthia has sometimes been an albatross more than a blessing, but the talented musician’s 1984 debut album Valotte went platinum and made him a star…

When it was first revealed that Simon Cowell was to become a father, some were sceptical that the 53-year-old eternal bachelor was fully committed. But by strolling hand-in-hand along the St Tropez seafront with his pregnant girlfriend Lauren Silverman – and stopping to give her a tender kiss – the media mogul sent a clear statement to the world that he is ready to embrace his new role. Keen to keep their relationship under wraps until 36-year-old New York socialite Lauren’s divorce from Andrew Silverman had been finalised – the settlement between the former couple was reached in August – Simon appeared delighted to be reunited with his “very special girl” after she landed in the French Riviera to spend the week with him. The X Factor mogul, who has…

It was certainly A Beautiful Day for Michael Bublé and his wife Luisana Lopilato last week, when the couple celebrated the arrival of their baby son, Noah. He’s the first child for Michael, 37, and his Argentine actress, model and singer wife, 26, and he wasted no time in expressing his Crazy Love for the new arrival. Posting a picture on Instagram of himself beaming at the camera while the newborn slept in his mum’s arms (left), Michael shared his happiness with fans. “Overjoyed and filled with gratitude at the arrival of our son Noah Bublé. Born this morning, August 27th at 2.26am in Vancouver, Canada,” the proud dad wrote on Twitter. The couple (right), who married two years ago, announced in January that they were expecting a “mini Bublé”,…

Eva Longoria washed her ex out of her hair last week by paying a visit to friend and hairstylist Ken Paves. Perhaps Desperate for a pampering session following her recent split from boyfriend Ernesto Arguello, Eva turned to her hair hero, emerging hours later (left) with luscious locks, a shopping bag full of goodies, starworthy giant sunnies and – the most important postsplit pick-me-up – a broad smile. The previous day, the former Desperate Housewives star had also been riding high, working up a sweat as she hit the Hollywood Hills on her bike (below). The 38-year-old actress seems to be getting over her Crazy Kind of Love. Eva met Ernesto (together, below) in April, when he was a contestant on her dating show Ready for Love. The pair soon…

Adapting to single life is always easier when you have friends around you, and luckily for Naomi Campbell there have been no shortage of companions to take her mind off her recent split from billionaire Vladimir Doronin. The latest, Oscar-winning actor Adrien Brody, has been holidaying with Naomi on Roberto Cavalli’s yacht in the Mediterranean and last week joined her for a day trip to the Spanish island of Formentera. The model is thought to have been friends with Adrien for a number of years and the pair are rumoured to have been an item. They certainly seemed close on their day trip (right), with Naomi appearing relaxed in her all-white outfit (left). The 43-year-old has been enjoying some downtime after filming the UK series of her model search series…

She was granted a decree nisi that effectively ended her ten-year marriage to Charles Saatchi at the end of July, and last week it appeared that Nigella Lawson had put her marital woes well and truly behind her. After arriving at a London hairdressing salon (left), the domestic goddess emerged looking a cut above with her flattering up do (right). And though she was dressed all in black, her mood seemed anything but, with even the rain failing to dampen her smile. Last month, Nigella, 53, indicated she was back to business as usual when the avid tweeter returned to the microblogging site for the first time since photographs were published showing art dealer Charles putting his hands around her neck during a meal outside a London restaurant. Posting a…

Hollywood director Clint Eastwood and his wife Dina have separated after 17 years of marriage. According to Us Weekly, former TV news presenter Dina confirmed that although she and Clint remain close, they have been living apart for some time. The four-times Oscar winner has not been pictured in public with his wife for two years. “Clint fell out of love with Dina a long time ago,” a source told the American magazine, adding that their separation was “amicable”. The 83-year-old – who rose to fame in Sergio Leone’s spaghetti Westerns, including The Good, The Bad and The Ugly – fell for Dina, 48, after she interviewed him about his film Unforgiven in 1992. The couple tied the knot in March 1996, when the Dirty Harry actor organised a surprise…

‘I intend to wear sequins until I get turfed out, which will probably be rather soon I fear’ Vanessa Feltz (left) isn’t sure she’ll sparkle on the dancefloor as she reveals she is joining this year’s Strictly Come Dancing “You know, he’s not playing King Lear. It’s Batman!” Matt Damon defends his friend Ben Affleck after Bruce Wayne fans began an online petition in protest at the casting ‘I won’t go to anyone’s house for dinner. Why anyone does is beyond me. It makes me jittery’ But what if your friends are all MasterChefs, Gregg Wallace? ‘I can’t afford for my hair or bra to catch fire. It might take a fire crew several days to extinguish’ Country music legend Dolly Parton launches a new firefighterthemed rollercoaster at her Dollywood…

‘They have always made the happiness of their girls their priority, hence their civilised relationship’ It’s the question everyone is asking. Are the Duke of York and Sarah, Duchess of York about to remarry? According to newspaper articles, the couple have rekindled their romance and could walk up the aisle again. But HELLO! has been told that the reports are wide of the mark and the only York marriage on the horizon is between their elder daughter Princess Beatrice, 25, and her beau of more than six years, Dave Clark. The Andrew and Sarah wedding chatter began when the couple, both 53, turned up together at Balmoral to spend a weekend with the Queen. Her Majesty has stayed in touch with Sarah and admires the way she and Andrew have…

‘Isn’t she charming? I’m so happy to have a grandchild, finally’ Princess Michael of Kent With her baby daughter lying contentedly in her arms, new mum Lady Frederick Windsor gazes awestruck at the tiny infant’s peaceful face. Maud Elizabeth Daphne Marina Windsor, 42nd in line to the British throne, is the first child born to 33-year-old actress Sophie and her husband Lord Freddie, 34. Maud is just ten days old when HELLO! is invited to the couple’s West Hollywood home for this world exclusive photoshoot. Despite the presence of excited family, Freddie’s “thrilled” parents Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, who flew in from London to meet their first grandchild – plus the HELLO! team – the delicate bundle of joy at the centre of all the attention is blissfully…

Even before it hit the big screen, new teen fantasy film The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones was causing quite a stir, as stars Lily Collins and Jamie Campbell Bower can testify. The on-screen, and until recently off-screen, lovers – who last week prompted speculation that their romance might be back on after they seemed on very good terms at the movie’s German premiere in Berlin – have only had to step out together in public for hysteria to ensue. “We went to one event and somebody fainted,” marvels Lily, 24, who plays the film’s heroine, the feisty Clary. Then she stops to correct herself. “Actually, she didn’t faint for me, she fainted for Jamie – she took one look at him and just dropped. “It was quite a thing,…

Arriving back home after her secret Las Vegas nuptials, actress Katherine Kelly was greeted by no end of congratulatory messages. The Mr Selfridge star and new husband Ryan Clark had surprised family and friends with their “shotgun-style wedding”, covered exclusively last week by HELLO!. But if Katherine felt any guilt at not letting on she need not have worried. “They were all thrilled for us,” she says. This week, the ex-Coronation Street star is likely to make even more headlines with her role in major new ITV1 drama The Guilty, as a mother whose son is found buried yards from his home five years after he had disappeared. Katherine read Kate McCann’s book on the disappearance of her daughter Madeleine to prepare for the role, but she chose not to…

It was the night Taylor Swift got even with our very own teen Romeo, Harry Styles of One Direction, for dumping her earlier this year and reportedly breaking her heart. Meanwhile, another American pop princess, former Hannah Montana and Disney star Miley Cyrus, saw her twinkly crown slip with a raunchy routine that involved her “twerking” in a latex bikini. This year’s MTV Video and Music Awards went with a bang, with style chameleon Lady Gaga kicking off a night of outrageous performances, shocks and surprises. Among the night’s winners was Taylor, 23, who scooped the award for Best Female Video for I Knew You Were Trouble. She admitted earlier this year that the song was inspired by her romance with handsome Cheshire boy Harry, 19. And the songstress couldn’t…

TOP MARKS FOR GROUCHO CLUB The annual exodus of Soho-based socialites heading to Ibiza took in a celebrity-packed party at the popup version of their favourite private members’ club, the Groucho Club Villa. Guests including the Duchess of Cornwall’s son Tom Parker Bowles, EastEnder Patsy Palmer, chef Gizzi Erskine, Jade Jagger, who had her range of jewellery on display, and newly reunited couple Jaime Winstone and Alfie Allen danced the night away in the Balearic hillside location and sipped on Grey Goose cocktails. STARS ZERO IN ON CHARITY NIGHT Noelle Reno and Francesca Barrow hosted an intimate evening at the newly opened Façonner Town House in London’s Belgravia to raise money for Chasing Zero, a charity that is helping in the global effort to reach zero aids-related deaths worldwide. Guests…

‘Illuminated by crystals and patterns, the colours evoke the night sky’ Dusk falls on a magical garden filled with lush tropical plants in a tucked-away, quiet corner of Ibiza. It’s the perfect setting for this eveningwear collection from Giorgio Armani, in which subtle shades of jade, grey and turquoise segue into midnight-blue and black, lit up by twinkling stars. The designer called the collection Kaleidoscope because, he says: “It is like looking through a prism, which breaks down colours, refracts and illuminates. “There are subtle metallic effects, unexpected splendours,” he adds. “This is a collection filled with surprises, but not drama. The materials are always fluid, gently following the silhouette. Light silks and organzas, discreet yet with substance, to give a new shape to my designs, a natural progression from…

Snakes alive! Here’s how to get wrinkle-free without the sting… Lacura Wrinkle Stop uses the unique ingredient Syn®-Ake, which mimics the effect of a protein found in snake venom and can lead to smoother skin in days – at a fraction of the price of high-end treatments. When Lacura wrinkle stop was launched in 2009 ift caused a hugfe stir with fans and bfeauty editors. It quickcly became one of skincare’s hottest buys, and flew off shelves. The secret lies in its key ingredient. The patented active agent Syn®. Ake, which mimics the effect of a protein found in snake venom. Syn®-Ake has been proven to help reduce wrinkles and to smooth skin. Clinical tests show a reduction in wrinkles of up to 52 per cent after only 28 days*.…

After a long, hot summer of ice creams, treats and snacks, lazy days and some late nights, it’s time to get your kids, and yourself, back on track – as well as back to school. The Change4Life initiative from the NHS is due to launch a national campaign called Smart Restart, which asks families to sign up to five healthy changes and pledges and to keep them up for six weeks. Some of these changes may seem obvious, but sadly the message is still not getting through. A recent report found that only 1 per cent of the packed lunches kids take to school meet the nutritional standards of school food. The latest figures on childhood obesity also make worrying reading: more than 28 per cent of five-yearolds in Wales…

CHOCOLATE MARTINI Amaze and delight your guests with this chocolate version of a martini – but watch out, as it’s a very smooth and easy-to-drink concoction… Serves 1 Preparation time 5 minutes, plus chilling INGREDIENTS • 1 tbsp finely grated dark chocolate • 50ml/2floz whipping cream • 1½ shots (60ml/2½floz) Irish cream liqueur • 1½ shots (60ml/2½floz) crème de cacao • ½ shot (25ml/1floz) vodka • Ice cubes 1.

Cooking doesn’t get any tougher than this! It’s the final of Celebrity MasterChef this week and hosts John Torode and Gregg Wallace (above) will be expecting a faultless three-course meal. Janet Street Porter, Ade Edmondson, Les Dennis and Brian Capron are still in contention at the start of this week’s trio of programmes, but only three will make it to Friday’s final. Nowadays it seems contestants are ready to spin sugar from the moment they first rattle their pots and pans, but when I made it to the quarter-finals of the first series back in 2006, you could have won with a spaghetti bolognese. Someone else who savoured their time on the show is former winner Lisa Faulkner. I’d never won anything before,” she says of her 2010 triumph. “It…

Born Jessica Ellen Cornish in Essex, Jessie J has shot to fame around the world via spells in the brit School for Performing Arts with fellow stars Adele and Leona Lewis and as a songwriter for the likes of Chris Brown, Miley Cyrus and Alicia Keys. In 2011, her debut album Who You Are, which featured hit singles Do It Like a Dude and Price Tag, reached No. 2 in the UK charts. She has since cracked America, her singing talent has earned her headline slots all over the world and she won a seat on BBC talent show The Voice as a mentor. She also spectacularly shed her trademark dark bob for Comic Relief, having her head shaved in March and dyeing the resultant crop bleach blonde. After two…

Hands-on dad David Beckham certainly had them full last week, when he took his daughter Harper to a baseball game in Los Angeles. While the former footballer might have turned up to watch the action on the field, his lively tot had other ideas. Sitting on her proud pop’s lap, Harper playfully pulled at David’s cheeks and, indicating she has perhaps inherited her designer mum Victoria’s style savvy, rearranged his cap. After being briefly diverted by a treat, Harper – who has clearly been brought up to share her snacks – poured what was left in the packet into Dad’s mouth and later rewarded his patience with a kiss. With Victoria in the UK, David had taken Harper, two, and sons Brooklyn, 14, Romeo, who turned 11 last weekend, and…

Jessica Simpson can’t contain her delight as she curls up with fiancé Eric Johnson and their 16-month-old daughter, Maxwell Drew, to introduce her baby son Ace Knute to the world. The Texan singer and actress gave birth to her second child by planned Caesarean on 30 June, only 14 months after the couple welcomed their daughter to the world. But, as 33-year-old southern belle Jessica tells HELLO!, discovering she was pregnant was “definitely a surprise”. Eric, a former American footballer, was just as excited the second time around and the handson dad helped introduce Maxi – as little Maxwell is known – to the idea of becoming a big sister. “She was so cute – she would kiss my belly,” says the proud mum. Doting dad Eric, who proposed to…

Among those getting into the carnival spirit in London’s Notting Hill last weekend was actress and model du jour Cara Delevingne, who showed off her street dance skills during the famous fiesta (left). Saying it with flowers in a floral-print crop top and blooming lovely headband, the 21-year-old joined fellow revellers (above), including members of the cast and crew of her latest film Kids in Love, as she embraced the Caribbean vibe. Cara is filming alongside We’re the Millers star Will Poulter, who seemed happy to be a supporting actor off set, too, gamely obliging when she jumped on board for a piggy back (right). “Missing carnival already,” she tweeted when the fun was over.…

If the smile on her face is anything to go by, Katherine Jenkins is far from all at sea after the end of her romance with stockbroker Adam Bidwell. Stepping out after dinner at London eaterie Nobu in a nautical-themed jumpsuit last week (left), the mezzosoprano looked tanned and relaxed following a girls’ holiday in the US. “Fab weekend with friends in NYC/The Hamptons but great to be back in Blighty for the Bank Holiday...” tweeted the 33-year-old, who is said to be “sad” but “moving on” following the split. The former couple, who were introduced by mutual friends in February, seemed to be singing from the same song sheet over the summer, when they attended a polo match (above right) and Glastonbury (right). But Katherine reportedly decided to go…

Having captivated TV audiences in shows such as This Morning and Dancing on Ice, Holly Willoughby has now become a silver screen goddess. In arty images (left and above right) captured by Rankin, the popular presenter is in shining form after being given an all-over silver paint job. Holly’s sterling efforts were part of a new promotional campaign by toothpaste brand Oral B and, according to the mum of two, putting together her sleek new image was no easy task. “It took two hours to get paint on, shine applied and a tiny bit of sculpting to my face,” she said. “It was a great experience to see yourself as you never have before.” Despite being famous for her curvy figure, it was Holly’s gnashers that helped her test her…

He is heir to the throne, but for one photographer the opportunity to snap Prince Charles sitting on a rather more commonplace item of furniture proved too good to resist. The resulting image, which captures the then 21-year-old royal water skiing on an old chair balanced on a table behind a speedboat driven by Lord Snowdon (above) is one of numerous candid images of the Windsors taken by Ray Bellisario (left) to be auctioned for charity. Ray, 77, is putting his entire back catalogue of 23,000 photographs – along with his copyright – up for sale, with the proceeds going to Reach for Rights, the charity he founded to provide free legal help to those who cannot afford it. Among the photos are fascinating never-published images of the Queen and…

FERGE AND JOSH DUHAMEL Couple welcome baby Axl Jack Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie, 38, and her actor husband Josh Duhamel, 38, are celebrating the birth of their first child, a baby boy named Axl Jack. The new arrival weighed 7lb 10oz when he was born at a Los Angeles hospital, weeks after his dad had admitted he was “excited” but “nervous” about becoming a first-time parent. Fergie, who officially changed her name from Stacy Ann Ferguson to Fergie Duhamel earlier this month, gave birth via a scheduled Caesarean. TAMZIN OUTHWAITE AND TOM ELLIS Call time on seven-year marriage Actors Tamzin Outhwaite and Tom Ellis have split . A spokesman for the couple, who are parents to Florence, four, and one-yearold Marnie, said: “Tamzin and Tom are sad to confirm…

Peace in the Middle East was the main topic of discussion during an audience with Pope Francis In a week which saw the crisis in Syria take centre stage both in the UK and around the world, King Abdullah II and Queen Rania of Jordan met with Pope Francis at the Vatican for a discussion which focused on peace in the Middle East. Queen Rania, known for her work promoting crosscultural and religious understanding, wore a white veil – a gesture usually restricted to Catholic royals. And, in another break with Vatican protocol, Pope Francis, who is known as “the people’s Pope”, bowed to the Jordanian queen upon her arrival. The royal couple spoke with the pontiff privately for about 20 minutes. Afterwards, the Vatican released a statement saying that…

Teaming boho bracelets, on-trend floral print and flowers in her hair for a shopping trip to London’s King’s Road, everything about Cressida Bonas says natural, individually stylish and unfussed. Which is exactly why, friends say, she has captured Prince Harry’s heart. Explains one member of her circle: “Cressida, like Harry, is not just a charmer, she has a fun personality with a sharp sense of humour and is not in the slightest bit afraid to send herself up. At the same time she is extremely feminine and elegant with it. It’s not hard to see why Harry is clearly captivated by her.” According to unconfirmed reports, she has just returned from a safari in Botswana with her Prince and it has further been claimed the couple will be engaged by…

When we last saw Monaco in wedding mode in 2010, Prince Albert of Monaco was marrying Olympic swimmer Charlene Wittstock in regal style. But last week, it was a rather more discreet affair as Princess Caroline’s son, second-in-line Andrea Casiraghi, set the seal on his romance with Colombian heiress Tatiana Santo Domingo, establishing their six-month-old son Sacha as third in the line of succession. Known for their boho style, the couple stayed faithful to their laidback reputation during celebrations on Caroline’s yacht Pacha III ahead of their 31 August nuptials. At a hen party, Tatiana’s closest confidantes – including Andrea’s pregnant sister Charlotte Casiraghi, Eugenie Niarchos, Bianca Brandolini and Lauren Santo Domingo – seemed inspired by her beloved Ibiza haunts, sporting floral garlands and white frocks. Naturally the groom and…

‘It feels fresh and fantastic. I feel like a very proud daddy’ Simon Who better to kick off this year’s series of The X Factor than Simon Cowell himself? The talent show supremo, making a surprise appearance at the press launch at The May Fair hotel in London last week, says: “It feels fresh, fantastic, and I’m very proud to be a part of it. Once again, I feel like a very proud daddy.” The 53-year-old father-to-be was joined at the exclusive event by judges Louis Walsh, 61, Sharon Osbourne, Gary Barlow and Nicole Scherzinger, 35, who looked “schermazing” in a strapless jumpsuit from Three Floor. Host Dermot O’Leary, 42, was also on hand. And HELLO’s Inside Entertainment was there to get the lowdown on the tenth series, which kicked…

It seems actress Rachel McAdams can’t get enough of time travel. Her latest film, About Time, picks up on the same theme as past roles in The Time Traveller’s Wife and Midnight in Paris but, as she says: “It’s weird as I never actually get to do the time travel.” In the new Richard Curtis-directed romcom, her character Mary falls in love with a guy who can go back and forth in time. So what would the 34-year-old Canadian actress fix if she could do the same? “Oh my goodness! It’s like that butterfly effect isn’t it? What if you fixed one thing and you ruined everything else? I probably wouldn’t tamper with too much. I’ve seen too many movies to know what happens there. But, I’d love to go…

‘One mum said to a doctor, “I gave birth to him but you gave him life”’ Eight years ago, Joanna Lumley flew to Bangladesh to meet Arif, a shy, five-year-old boy who’d been born blind. There she witnessed the simple cataract operation that restored his sight and she removed the bandage from his eye, as he saw the world for the first time. Last week, they met again in a touching reunion at the Islamia Eye Hospital in Dhaka, which had first treated Arif. Now a shy teenager, his awkward smile turned into a broad grin as the actress and campaigner handed him a Chelsea strip, her gift for him from the UK, and they looked at the photos of themselves from her last trip. “I longed to see how…

Special moments come when you unwind, without forcing any issues or allowing negative emotions (such as fear or anger) to overwhelm you.

The bells are ringing for Doc Martin and teacher Louisa as the sixth series of the Martin Clunes comedy-drama starts. But far from domestic bliss, it’s not long before the newlywed Doc’s life unravels as he struggles to cope under the same roof as his bride (Caroline Catz, left, with Martin), baby Henry and Portwenn’s newest arrival, his mum Margaret (Claire Bloom). “His mother arrives to say his father died a few weeks before, but she forgot to invite him to the funeral,” reveals Martin, 51. And although playing a doctor, Martin faced real-life health issues after picking up a virus while filming in idyllic Port Isaac in Cornwall. “I lost a stone. They had to remake my wardrobe to fit,” he recalls. Fortunately for all, Martin still scrubs up…

Rock royalty’s latest queen and king Rita Ora and Calvin Harris took a day off from their hectic schedules to spend a casual day together in Manhattan. Proving Calvin’s dedication to his new relationship – the couple went public with their romance just four months ago – the Scottish star jetted straight from a cancelled gig in Las Vegas to New York, where 22-year-old Rita had made a star appearance at the MTV VMA awards. SWEET TWEETS Clearly excited at their impending get-together, Rita wrote on Twitter: “Waiting for my baby,” followed by a picture of Calvin, 29, on his arrival, with the caption: “Look who’s here!” After a week of wearing a variety of elegant ball gowns and cocktail dresses for the award celebrations, the RIP singer opted for…

Keen to chip in and do her bit for the British restaurant trade, Lady Gaga delighted staff at a popular London takeaway when she arrived with friends and ordered meals to go (above and below right). After perusing the menu at the Sea Shell of Lisson Grove in Marylebone, the singer treated her entourage to fish suppers, ordering haddock and chips, plus the house speciality of popcorn prawns for herself. Dressed in an eye-catching combo of black latex dungarees, platform Alaïa boots, a pink bra and shell hair accessories (right and above right), Gaga may have looked like a fish out of water in such humble surroundings, but staff at the chippy did not batter an eyelid. “She comes here a lot, whenever she’s in town, so we know her,”…

Cheryl Cole’s latest giant rose tattoo has become something of a thorny issue. Pictures of the singer’s inking on her lower back and bottom did sit well with everyone and she has vowed the latest artwork would be her last after suffering “9/10” on the pain scale Cheryl was less stung by the barrage of criticism. Laughing off the comments, she posted a floral picture on Instagram bearing the message: “Keep Calm and Smell the Roses,” as well as pictures of the tattoo (above). She also reposted Twitter support from fans, including Coronation Street star Michelle Keegan, who wrote: “No gonna lie I actually heart @Cherylcole new tattoo!” The former Girls Aloud singer, 30, who got her first tattoo in her teens, revealed part of the giant etching during the…

Having recently admitted to being an Instagram convert – albeit under a pseudonym – Kate Moss will have had plenty of holiday snaps to add to her online album this summer. After spending recent weeks in Spain, she and her rocker husband Jamie Hince moved on to another Mediterranean hotspot, joining Topshop boss Sir Philip Green and other guests in St Tropez for a stylish lunch party on the resort’s Pampelonne beach.

Fast becoming a regular Down Under, Georgia May Jagger recently returned to Sydney to promote the city’s 30 Days of Fashion and Beauty event. The golden girl of the modelling world (left) looked 24-carat glam in a shimmering jacket and shorts by Sass & Bide and gladiator sandals, giving off a glow that not even jet lag could diminish. Describing herself on Twitter as “So excited,” the 21-year-old added: “I love you Sydney.” And despite being thousands of miles from home, she was lucky enough to have some family support in the form of her mum Jerry Hall, who was en route to Melbourne, where she’s due to star as Mrs Robinson in a stage production of The Graduate. “I’m excited see her,” Georgia said. “We will hang out and…

It was most poignant that, as news of Hollywood power couple Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones’s marital split hit the headlines, Michael was preparing to attend the Deauville American Film Festival, the event at which he had first met his wife 15 years earlier. The 68-year-old actor cut a solitary and pensive figure as he holidayed aboard a yacht in the Mediterranean ahead of the festival in northern France, where his latest movie, Behind the Candelabra, the critically acclaimed biopic of flamboyant pianist Liberace, was last Friday’s openingnight film. Two days before, it had been confirmed that he and Welsh beauty Catherine, 43, were “taking time apart” to enable them “to evaluate and work on their marriage.” Rumours of a separation had been rife for months, but sources close to…

Rolf Harris has been charged with nine counts of indecent assault and four of making indecent images of children. “The alleged indecent assaults date from 1980 to 1986 and relate to two complainants aged 14 and 15 at the time of the alleged offending,” said a representative of the chief Crown prosecutor for London, who concluded that it was “in the public interest” to charge the former children’s TV and Animal Hospital presenter. The Australian - born entertainer, 83, who was awarded a CBE in 2006, is also charged with making indecent images between March and July last year. Rolf, also an artist and singer, was first questioned by police last November, five days after his Berkshire home was searched by officers working for Operation Yewtree – the investigation set…

The Lincoln Memorial behind them, US President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle (left) wave to crowds at a ceremony commemorating the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington, the historic gathering at which Martin Luther King Jr gave his iconic “I Have A Dream” speech. The country’s first black president was joined by ex-president Bill Clinton, media mogul and actress Oprah Winfrey, and political scion Caroline Kennedy (above) as he spoke of the civil rights movement and America’s segregated past, as well as continuing struggles for justice today. “Because they marched [in 1963], America became more free and more fair,” he said to the tens of thousands gathered across The National Mall (below). “We will vindicate the faith of those who sacrificed so much.” It was an especially poignant…

‘George has been very good and is sleeping well… He’s sleeping at the moment for now – fingers crossed!’ Standing on a clifftop against a background of the Irish Sea, the Duchess of Cambridge was on radiant form as she made a surprise public appearance – her first since the birth of Prince George six weeks ago. Described by locals as looking “absolutely gorgeous” in Paige skinny black jeans, a sage Ralph Lauren jacket over a white and green Zara blouse and Pied a Terre wedges, Kate helped start an ultra marathon endurance race round Anglesey with her husband. The Duchess had made a lastminute decision to attend the event at Holyhead and laughed and chatted with well-wishers, telling them she had left baby George at home with “Grandma”. This…

George Clooney and Sandra Bullock gave a demonstration of pure star power as they zoomed in to launch Venice’s world famous Film Festival with their space thriller Gravity. Crowds greeted the pair with cheers as they made their entrance to the Palazzo del Cinema in a water taxi (above), Sandra stunning in a neon block-colour dress and George as suave as ever in an opencollared shirt and shades. The old friends had arrived in Venice from George’s home on Lake Como along with Sandra’s other leading man, her adorable little adopted son Louis (left). Later on the red carpet (right), the two singletons made a perfect couple with Sandra’s dramatic red origami gown set off by George’s black tux.

‘When you have kids in the public eye you have to be more watchful’ Top chef Jamie Oliver is reflecting on his life in the mid-1990s when, he says, he had about £30 left over after a week’s work at Antonio Carluccio’s Neal Street restaurant. “All my wages went on bills,” recalls Jamie, 38, as the campaigning chef publishes his latest book, Save with Jamie, to coincide with TV show Jamie’s Money Saving Meals, both aimed at helping cash-strapped families cook on a budget. At the time his thengirlfriend Jools was a waitress at nearby restaurant Maxwell’s. “She got badly paid, and we had a car, so there was no spare cash. But we still ate well. My strategy would be just to buy for the day, so on my…

For Hollywood heartthrob Orlando Bloom, one of the best things about appearing on Broadway is that he and his jet-setting family get to call New York home. “We love it here,” enthuses the Pirates of the Caribbean star, whose model wife Miranda Kerr and two-year-old son Flynn usually split their time between her native Australia, his home country of Britain and their base in Los Angeles. “I don’t want to leave. I love the city, I feel so lucky to be working here and have them here with me – it’s great to all be in one place,” adds the 36-year-old, who last week made his Broadway debut in a new production of Romeo and Juliet. Orlando says he was nervous “but really excited” about his first time treading the…

WHAT THE BLAZES! It looks as though photographer Kawika Singson’s very sole is on fire as he angles in for a good shot of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park right on top of a lava flow. The lava was so hot that Singson’s tripod and shoes burst into flames – or so we are led to believe. Apparently, however, the shot itself is something of a set-up, staged by Singson to brilliant effect. HAIL TO THE OTHER BLUE PLANET Just when we thought Earth was the only blue planet, the Hubble space telescope has brought us images of another one out there. HD189733b lies around 63 light years beyond our solar system in the constellation of Vulpecula and gets its hue from atmospheric gas. It’s an inhospitable place, where molten glass…

Pillow marks, a puffy face, breakouts and a grey, sagging dull complexion – these are all symptoms of sleep deprivation. Every woman recognises them, but now science has finally proven it: lack of sleep is ageing. In a clinical study at University Hospitals Case Medical Center in the US, scientists found that sleep quality impacts skin function and ageing. Commissioned by Estée Lauder, the research showed that poor sleepers not only displayed visible signs of skin ageing, but too little slumber also had a negative effect on the skin’s ability to retain moisture and counteract the negative effects of pollution and ultraviolet rays. “Our study is the first to conclusively demonstrate that inadequate sleep is correlated with reduced skin health and accelerates skin ageing,” says Dr Elma Baron, associate professor…

There was no shortage of style at Alber Elbaz’s recent Lancôme party in Paris, but actress Gemma Arterton provided one of the standout looks of the night in a black one-shoulder gown teamed with a smoky-green eye and glowing skin. Just back from holiday, she was fresh faced and looking fab, with the help of make-up artist Alex Babsky. “The minute I saw Gemma’s stunning Elbaz gown I knew this look would be all about a modern, smoky eye,” he says. “I also didn’t want to cover up her tanned and freckled holiday skin, so we agreed to focus on a mix of maximum eye and minimal skin.” Here’s how he did it… Freckle face “I used the tiniest amount of Lancôme Teint Idole, £27.50 (7), applied with a Giorgio…

1 FILM ABOUT TIME Starring: Domhnall Gleeson, Rachel McAdams and Bill Nighy This sentimental romcom with a sci-fitwist will have you reaching for the tissues while simultaneously charming your socks off. The latest from Notting Hill writer-director Richard Curtis, it follows 21-year-old Tim (Domhnall Gleeson) as he discovers he can travel back in time to any point in his life and uses his unique talent to win the heart of Mary (Rachel McAdams, above right with Domhnall). This neat contrivance requires some suspension of disbelief, but the natural chemistry of the two leads and an excellent supporting cast, including Bill Nighy (above) as Tim’s offbeat father (from whom he inherits his time-travelling ability) combine to reveal the film’s tender message that one should make the most of life while one…
