1FILM CLOUD ATLAS Starring Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Jim Broadbent and Hugo Weaving Among several other roles, Halle Berry plays a 1930s Jewish woman (below left, with Jim Broadbent) and an Asian man in futuristic Korea, Tom Hanks is a greedy, murderous doctor in 1849 and an action-hero in post-apocalyptic Hawaii (above right, with Halle), and an almost unrecognisable Hugh Grant pops up as a tribal chief (above left).

Back in the UK after a romantic holiday in Dubai, Tamara is looking tanned – and exceptionally happy (above).

But my response to that would be: “When you know, you know”’ Tamara Tamara Ecclestone cannot stop smiling.

Richard’s home life was just as successful as his career. In 2003, he was invested with his CBE at Buckingham Palace, watched by his wife of more than 50 years Ann Davies and his grandchildren Harry and Rachael (together, above) The country might have loved the selfsufficiency-striving Tom Good, but Richard Briers – the man behind the Good Life character – was far from his biggest fan. The genial actor – who died last week at the age of 79 – said he found the lovable but hapless, woolly-jumper-wearing Tom as “terribly selfish”. “It was all about him all the time and he was terrible with the wife,” he said. “I never particularly liked him at all.” In contrast, Richard – who died peacefully at home after being diagnosed with…

The key is to get diagnosed. Diabetes – both type 1, which is an auto-immune disease, and type 2, which tends to develop later in life – is manageable. With this in mind, Boots has teamed up with charity Diabetes UK to offer free in-store diabetes risk assessments for type 2. People deemed to be at moderate or high risk will be offered advice and given a letter to take to their GPs. NEED TO KNOW Diabetes is caused by the body’s inability to deal with insulin, the hormone that regulates blood sugar levels and enables glucose to be used by cells as energy. Type 1 usually affects people under 30 and, because it is an auto-immune disease, it can be hereditary. People with this type of diabetes are no…

First they took Los Angeles by storm. Then it was the turn of their native London. And, last week, it was Paris that was at the centre of the constant swirl of activity surrounding the Beckham clan. The family of six travelled together to the French capital for the first time since David signed a five-month contract to play for the city’s football team, Paris St-Germain. Naturally, their presence didn’t go unnoticed, with a huge crowd of fans and media waiting to greet them as they set foot in the country. “It was as if the President of the United States had come to town,” one onlooker said. “The whole place was swarming with security units.” Fashion designer Victoria, David and their four children had travelled from their new home…

So, who is Cressida Bonas and why is Prince Harry so smitten? It clearly takes a very special girl to capture the heart of Britain’s most eligible bachelor.

SHADY CHARACTERS At the merest hint of danger these incredibly versatile insects and sea animals colour-co-ordinate with their surroundings and instantly become camoufl aged. The leaf mimic bush cricket can, for example, look equally convincing as a green leaf (above left, in Borneo) or a brown one (below right in Ecuador). Above right: a fi lefi sh cheats the Grim Reaper by disguising itself as marine vegetation, while the pygmy seahorse (below left) is practically indistinguishable from the coral in Kimbe Bay, Papua New Guinea. But it is not only when predators draw near that these con artists decide to melt into the background; it is also a neat technique for ambushing their prey.
