Newlywed pop star James Blunt was back in the saddle just days after his marriage to Sofia Wellesley in September. The award-winning singer put plans for a honeymoon on hold after marrying legal consultant Sofia – the pair tied the knot in two ceremonies, a legal service in the UK and a blessing in Majorca – and instead indulged in a bit of horseplay for the video for his new single, When I Find Love Again. “Spending seven hours on a horse for the shoot was pretty funny actually,” James tells HELLO! from Germany, the latest stop on his Moon Landing world tour. The video sees James, 40, play the role of cowboy and racing around the Spanish desert. It sounds glamorous, but James hadn’t ridden a horse since leaving…

‘He pulsates sexuality. I can only imagine he is a killer in the sack’ Desert Island Discs host Kirsty Young (left) needs no convincing that Sir Tom Jones is a Sex Bomb ‘He’s the first man that I have dated who cries when I sing’ Sounds like your beau Taylor Kinney needs to work on his Poker Face, Lady Gaga ‘To be asked to follow in the footsteps of Johnny Carson, Billy Crystal, Ellen DeGeneres and everyone else who had the great fortune of hosting is a bucket list dream come true’ Neil Patrick Harris is full of Glee at being awarded hosting duties for the 2015 Oscars ‘She was such a whore!’ Chris Noth, Mr Big in Sex and the City, is surprisingly ungentlemanly about his former on-screen wife…

My father was a great dad, but his role was as the breadwinner. He was an accountant and would leave the house at 7am, get back at 9pm, read the paper and wind down from work. He wasn’t expected to do any housework or cooking, food shopping or childcare. He didn’t know what a nappy was, so changing one was beyond him. These days being a breadwinner is a dual role – it doesn’t excuse you from sharing responsibility at home – but we work harder, for longer, especially in a metropolitan area where house prices are high, and making time for children isn’t easy. There is growing evidence to suggest that, even now, large numbers of fathers are missing milestones in their children’s lives due to increasing hours and…

BLAKE BUMPS UP THE STYLE ON HER RED CARPET RETURN Judging by Blake Lively’s dazzling turn in a nude Michael Kors creation at the God’s Love We Deliver awards in New York (left), she’s unlikely to let pregnancy stand in the way of her famed red carpet flair. She told People magazine her maternity style would consist of “things that are stretchier, because that’s all that fits!” And for her first public appearance since announcing her pregnancy via her lifestyle website Preserve this month, Blake, 27, chose a stretch tulle gown that fits right into her plan. The star, married to fellow actor Ryan Reynolds, has also opened up on a more personal topic: her thoughts on starting a family. “It’s something that I’ve always wanted…

Sienna Miller stole the show last week in a floor-length silver gown at the premiere of Foxcatcher , her first film in almost two years, at the BFI London Film Festival. The 32-year-old, who stars in the real-life drama alongside Steve Carell and Channing Tatum, proved she hasn’t lost the “wow” factor as she walked the red carpet in a shimmering dress by British brand Galvan with her golden mane pinned up in braids. “I didn’t work for a year after my daughter was born, and I really wanted to knuckle down this year and get a lot under my belt,” she said of her role as wrestler’s wife Nancy Schultz, her first since the birth two years ago of Marlowe, her daughter with actor Tom Sturridge.…

Trying to get a word in when chatting to the five Saturdays stars is quite an achievement. There is baby news from second-time mother-to-be Una Foden, Strictly Comes Dancing gossip from the newlywed Frankie Bridge, who is a contestant on the latest series, fashion and beauty chatter from Vanessa White and Mollie King, who are both signed with modelling agencies, and TV tips from Rochelle Humes, who has enjoyed a stint as a This Morning presenter alongside her pop star husband Marvin. There is no doubt that The Saturdays are a multitasking creative collective, and it’s also obvious from spending time with them during their recent Greatest Hits Live! tour that they are not only bandmates but best friends too. While the costumes are custom made for each singer, backstage…

He is young, handsome, single and royal – so who better than Prince Harry to preside over a gala charity night dominated by successful women? But, the Prince sadly lamented, for an event that attracted 260 guests, the vast majority of them female, the seating plan at the annual 100 Women in Hedge Funds London Gala left a lot to be desired. Dressed smartly in a dinner jacket, the 30-year-old royal guest of honour started his speech by joking: “I am not entirely sure who made the seating plan, but I am sitting between two men. I thought it would just be 100 women and myself.” CARING FOR OTHERS The event, held in benefit of the charity WellChild, of which Harry is a patron, took place at London’s Royal Hospital…

It doesn’t matter how old a woman is or how prestigious a position she holds, when she feels unwell there’s no one quite like mum to make things better. So it is little surprise that during her struggle to overcome the extreme morning sickness hyperemesis gravidarum that has plagued her during her second pregnancy, the 32-year-old Duchess of Cambridge has sought refuge in the comforting cocoon of her parents Carole and Michael Middleton’s Berkshire home. It was a chance for the ever-supportive Carole not only to dispense some much-needed tender loving care to her daughter, but also to spend quality time with her grandson Prince George, in whose life she plays such a pivotal role. “Kate is feeling so lousy. She just wanted to be with her family and out…

JUDE LAW Actor’s ex expecting his fifth child Jude Law is to become a dad for the fifth time. A spokesman for the 41-year-old actor last week confirmed in a statement that his ex-girlfriend Catherine Harding, 23, is pregnant. “Whilst they are no longer in a relationship, they are both wholeheartedly committed to raising their child,” it read. The new arrival is due in the spring. Jude is dad to five-year-old daughter Sophia from his relationship with Samantha Burke and to three children from his marriage to Sadie Frost – Rafferty, 18, Iris, who turns 14 this month, and 12-year-old Rudy. • Avatar actress Zoe Saldana, 36, is expecting twin boys with her husband Marco Perego. “She is beside herself happy over it all,” said a source close to the…

Her star-studded wedding might have been the stuff of fairytales, but it was back to business for human rights barrister Amal Alamuddin last week – though with one notable difference. Bucking the trend among celebrity brides of retaining their maiden name, it was as Mrs Clooney, new wife of Oscar-winning actor and film director George, and not Ms Alamuddin that she flew into Greece to take up her latest case. The 36-year-old international legal whizz found herself greeted by the kind of frenzied fanfare normally reserved for Hollywood stars such as her husband. The Beirut-born British lawyer – who married in a Venetian extravaganza last month attended by A-list friends including The Bourne Identity actor Matt Damon, supermodel Cindy Crawford and British actress Emily Blunt – is advising the Greek…

If anyone is eligible to give rising star Lily Collins advice on handling fame, it’s her dad Phil. With more than 40 years in music, first with Genesis and then as a solo artist, the father of five knows all about the ups and downs of life in the public eye. Not that Phil, 63, thinks his daughter by Jill Tavelman, his second wife, needs any help. “I don’t think anything can stop her; Lily’s going from strength to strength,” he says of the 25-year-old, who has already acted alongside Sandra Bullock (The Blind Side) and Julia Roberts (Mirror Mirror) and whose latest film is an untitled Warren Beatty project. “She’s very together – she’s not a scatterbrain, she’s not LA, she’s really capable of doing anything she puts her…

Kate Ford is deep in the Cheshire countryside. It’s less than an hour from the cobbles of Coronation Street yet it could be a million miles away as the actress takes a well-earned break from one of the biggest storylines she has ever filmed. Ahead of the TV wedding of her character Tracy Barlow next week, Kate’s awayday brings back happy memories of her idyllic childhood growing up on a farm in the Lake District. “Sitting on a horse today, surrounded by mud and fields, wearing a £5,000 designer dress… It’s like two worlds colliding,” she laughs, clearly relishing her time away after a 12-hours-a-day filming schedule as Tracy plans the perfect marriage to soulmate (and, unbeknown to her, murderer) Rob Donovan, played by Marc Baylis. “I’m always happy in…

THE GOOD TIME GANG Battersea Evolution in South London was the venue for a gala dinner to celebrate luxury watch brand IWC Schaffhausen’s three-year partnership with the BFI London Film Festival. Making timely appearances were Keeley Hawes, Erin O’Connor, Douglas Booth and other big names, enjoying champagne and canapés before dinner cooked by Michelin-starred chef Angela Hartnett. Stephen Fry and Julie Walters were honoured for their contribution to British comedy. AN ART-WARMING AFFAIR The cream of society celebrated the opening night of Plant Life, the new exhibition from artist William Roper-Curzon at the Hartnoll and Daughter Gallery in London’s Mayfair. The illustrious guests – among them Jack and Amber Guinness, Daisy Cecil and fellow artist Timothy Betjeman – drank wine as they viewed the paintings on display. The show consists…

Kate Moss has never committed a fashion faux pas in her 25 years of modelling and was bang on-trend again at the launch of Brazilian footwear label Melissa’s London flagship store in Covent Garden. The style queen oozed street-savvy glamour in a raven-hued yeti-style jacket teamed with her signature skinnies and a sheer navy top, with exquisite beaded detail. A chic black, burgundy and gold clutch and Azzedine Alaïa boots made for a truly glam-rock look.…

Everyone is familiar with hay fever, which is triggered by pollens, usually in spring and summer. But for an estimated 15 to 20 per cent of Brits, the sneezes and sniffles last all year and the most common culprit is dust mites. It is a growing problem and one that Allergy UK aims to highlight during Indoor Allergy Week, which this year runs from 20-26 October. Present in all houses in the UK, dust mites are the most prevalent of all allergens, causing problems for up to 85 per cent of asthmatics. Our increasingly warm and humid homes are thought to have led to the rise in the number of people with dust mite allergies, as they provide the ideal environment for the tiny creatures. Unable to survive in dry…

Libra 24 SEP – 23 OCT Are you entitled to celebrate? You are on this planet experiencing the precious gift of life – what better reason to celebrate is there? To suggest this is not enough is to insult creation. We are placed here to enjoy every moment, not to suffer. But, sometimes, we forget this and see no reason to rejoice. This week’s events, triggered by a helpful link from Mars to Venus, should inspire you. For your new, enlightening, worry-quashing forecast, call 0906-751 8080. Scorpio 24 OCT – 22 NOV If this is Spaceship Earth and we are all passengers on the same vessel, where’s the captain? Where’s the cockpit? And what is wrong with the public address system? Why don’t we ever get unequivocal announcements or instructions?…

As the model other half of comedian David Walliams, 30-year-old Lara Stone brings the good looks to the relationship as well as a career-driven mind. The Dutch model and L’Oréal Paris spokesmodel was first discovered at the tender age of 12 when she was on holiday with her family in Paris. From those first steps, she signed up to Elite Model Agency then later IMG Models and was launched onto the catwalks of some of the biggest fashion houses, such as Givenchy, Chanel, Fendi and Calvin Klein. Her gap-toothed smile has become her trademark, with Vogue naming her one of the “Faces of the Moment” on its May 2009 cover. She has featured in the top ten of Forbes World’s Top-Earning Models and No. 1 on models.com’s Top 50 Models…

Clad in a blue Stewart Parvin coat and dress, the Queen stood out among a sea of ceramic poppies as she walked with the Duke of Edinburgh in reflective mood in the old moat of the Tower of London. They were visiting a striking memorial marking the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War and paying tribute to the 888,246 British and Commonwealth servicemen who lost their lives in the global conflict. Nearly all the poppies – one for each of the fallen – have now been placed in the evolving installation, which will be completed by Armistice Day on 11 November. Entitled Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red, it was created by ceramic artist Paul Cummins. “I was inspired to create this installation after reading a…

DAME MAGGIE SMITH IN COMPANIONABLE MOOD AT WINDSOR Her Downton Abbey alter-ego Violet Crawley might never be awed by the grand people she meets, but actress Dame Maggie Smith was modesty personified at Windsor Castle last week. The theatre and screen star became a Companion of Honour, receiving her award – one of Britain’s highest – from the Queen last Friday. Dame Maggie, 79, is now part of an elite group to be granted the right to put the letters CH after their name. Past recipients include Dame Judi Dench, Lord Coe and painter Lucien Freud. Earlier in the week, actor John Barrowman had clearly had a check-list for his visit to Buckingham Palace which included a tribute to his Scottish roots. The Glasgow-born Doctor Who star donned a traditional…

Chloe Madeley, the daughter of TV couple Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan, has slammed rape threats she received on Twitter last week as “cowardly” and “extremely chilling and lewd”. The former Dancing on Ice contestant, 27, was subject to online abuse after mum Judy spoke about rape on TV show Loose Women. “I absolutely wasn’t suggesting that rape was anything other than a horrendous crime and, as I said on the programme, I was in no way attempting to minimise the terrible ordeal that any woman suffers as a result,” said Judy. The 66-year-old had called for footballer Ched Evans to be allowed to return to play for Sheffield United after serving a jail sentence for rape. “He’s served his time,” Judy…

Elegant in white, Queen Rania of Jordan joins more than 300 international leaders at a two-day conference in Sharjah, UAE, on the plight of the 1.8 million refugee children currently scattered across the Middle East and North Africa. The Queen is well-placed to talk about the problem, since her country alone is currently home to some 650,000 refugees from neighbouring Syria – nearly a tenth of Jordan’s total population. More than half of the refugee children spotlighted receive no schooling, a point not lost on mother-of-four Rania. During her keynote speech at the conference, which was hosted by Sharjah’s ruler, Sheikh Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi (above), she noted: “The most valuable thing we can offer these children is education, to protect them from loss and despair, and prevent the…

No sooner had she touched down from her whistle-stop tour of South Africa than Victoria Beckham was flying off again, this time to Los Angeles with her family. Landing at the airport late in the evening and wearing shades to cover any traces of jet lag, the designer, businesswoman and international goodwill ambassador for UNAids balanced her daughter Harper on her hip while the sleepy three-year-old tried to doze on her shoulder. Leading the party were two of Victoria and husband David’s sons, Romeo, 12, and nine-year-old Cruz, both of them with rucksacks and matching weary expressions. Despite the long-haul flight and her recent flurry of international travel Victoria, 40, still managed to look immaculate in a black blouse with a Peter Pan collar, black skinny jeans and spike-heeled boots.…

Mark Francis Vandelli is in the throes of a sartorial disaster when HELLO! arrives at his spectacular seven-bedroom home, set high in the hills of Cannes. “I’ve just discovered that my clothes have been eaten by moths!” exclaims the Made in Chelsea star, greeting us with a kiss while his maid Jana serves us tea on his terrace overlooking the Mediterranean and the Côte d’Azur town so synonymous with glitz and glamour. “I don’t mind destroying something fabulous if it’s at an incredibly decadent party – it almost tells a story – but to moths? I mean, really.” The 25-year-old shakes his head. “I can tell you, they have eaten their way through Bond Street.” Mark has invited us to the South of France to take an exclusive glimpse into…

There’s no rest for the wicked, as the saying goes, so we can only assume EastEnders Lothario Max Branning has had many a sleepless night. The same can now be said – minus the wickedness – of the actor who plays him, as Jake Wood swaps the gritty drama of Walford for the glitter of Strictly Come Dancing – emerging as one of the favourites to win. “I don’t do things by half, Richard, you know me,” laughs the 42-year-old father of two. “I like a challenge, I like to push myself and this seemed perfect. I’ve always liked a bit of glitz and glamour, so I embrace the spray tans and the sequins. Also my kids love the show.” Jake says of Amber, nine, and six-year-old Buster: “They really…
