Victoria Beckham was taking care of business in London while husband David was minding the children in California last week. The 40-year-old designer power-dressed with a grey tailored blazer slung across her shoulders, skinny jeans, a striking pair of leopard-print high heels and a business-like tote from her own collection as she arrived to check on the progress of her first flagship store in Mayfair ahead of its September opening. The chic mother of four swept in to survey the prime 7,000sq ft site, which is being transformed by architect Farshid Moussavi. DOG DAY AFTERNOON Back in Los Angeles, where the family has been spending much of the summer, David was left holding the baby of the family, three-year-old Harper, on a trip to the dog groomer. The cute little…

As one-fifth of girlband The Saturdays, she is no stranger to skimpy outfits, spray tans and busting a few moves. So it’s little wonder that newly married mum of one Frankie Bridge can’t wait to get the glitter ball rolling on her latest project. Last week, the 25-year-old was the first contestant to be confirmed for the line-up for this year’s Strictly Come Dancing. Leaving fans in no doubt about her excitement, the singer broke the news on BBC Breakfast with a visit to the show’s Media City studios in Salford (left and above right), saying she was a huge fan of the show. But the singer, who last month married ex-England footballer Wayne Bridge, with whom she has ten-month-old son Parker, is worried that her pop band background might…

He’s lightened up a lot since becoming a dad in February, but there were some distinctly shady goings on when Simon Cowell tweeted a shot of himself and baby son Eric having fun together on board a yacht. The X Factor judge delighted fans with a photograph of the pair wearing matching aviators (left), which he captioned: “Taking after daddy.” The latest in a series of father-son images was taken during a family break in the Hamptons with Eric’s mum Lauren Silverman (right, with Simon) and shows just how much the entertainment mogul loves fatherhood – something that has taken even him by surprise. “It’s not that difficult. If you’ve got a good partner it’s a lot of fun,” he said recently. “It’s easier than I thought.” Having uncovered a…

Actress Rosamund Pike may be expecting her second baby, but she isn’t letting pregnancy slow her down. Looking all-white in a bump-flattering dress (left), the 35-year-old popped into This Morning last week to chat about her new film Hector and the Search for Happiness. And it seems her own search for happiness is complete. Rosamund confirmed earlier in the summer that she and long-term love Robie Uniacke, 53, are expecting a baby brother or sister for their son Solo, two. And despite having to put in a lot of legwork on the promotional trail for her new film, Rosamund looked positively glowing when she appeared alongside co-star Simon Pegg at the London premiere last week (below).…

‘I’ve still got plenty of lead in the old pencil, but I only write to one person’ Singer Rod Stewart is writing the book of love with wife Penny (together left) ‘I am just not very good in it. I hate it. My acting is very one-note and I can see I got complacent’ Daniel Radcliffe says his performance as Harry Potter was far from wizard ‘Auditions are the worst things in the world. There are more humiliating ways to torture yourself, but I haven’t experienced them’ Mad Men star Jon Hamm says tryouts and reading for parts makes him crazy ‘I have never been chosen as one of the top five hottest actresses in a bikini. And honestly, it’s a godsend’ Actress Julia Roberts would rather make a splash…

Watch out, Hollywood – there’s a new generation of mini celebs on the way. Yes, this summer there’s been a definite baby bump bonanza in Tinseltown as A-list stars including Mila Kunis, Scarlett Johansson and Eva Mendes prepare to hear the pitter-patter of tiny feet. Another trait these mums-to-be share is that they’re all dressing for comfort as they await the arrival of their little girls and boys. Here, HELLO ! takes a look at the leading ladies who are gearing up for their biggest roles – as mums. CHRISTINA AGUILERA Grammy-winning singer Christina Aguilera has been bumping along nicely as she waits to add a daughter – her first child with fiancé Matthew Rutler – to her family. “I’m really excited to meet our baby girl – this has…

The last time I sat down with Robin Williams was less than a year ago, writes entertainment journalist Gabrielle Donnelly. He was, he said, at a “wonderful time” of his life. He was visiting Los Angeles from his home in Tiburon, just outside San Francisco, to promote The Crazy Ones, a short-lived TV sitcom. He looked terrific – wiry and energetic in a cool black-on-black ensemble, the jokes flying, bright eyes sparkling in the ageless face that could change from a boy’s to an old man’s in the blink of a one-liner. Everything was going fine, he said. He was at a point in his career – contrary to reports that have circulated then and subsequently – where he could work if he wanted to, not because he needed to.…

With her timeless and elegant beauty, smouldering sensuality and fierce intelligence, Lauren Bacall was the epitome of old-school Hollywood glamour. Her death last week after suffering a stroke at home in New York at the age of 89 marked the end of a golden age. “She lived a wonderful life, a magical life,” said her son Stephen Bogart. “Her life speaks for itself.” Among those paying tribute were Barbra Streisand, her co-star in The Mirror has Two Faces , for which Lauren was Oscar nominated. “She was an original,” said Barbra. Tweeted actor Hugh Jackman: “Lauren Bacall… you will be missed. By me… and the entire world.” Lauren’s screen debut at the age of 19 opposite Humphrey Bogart in To Have and Have Not…

He has worked as a weatherman, a West End actor and a scriptwriter. Now showbiz reporter Ross King can add novelist to his CV. And the Good Morning Britain star was joined by a host of famous faces as he celebrated the start of this new chapter in his life. Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes, Carol Vorderman, Sue Barker, Kate Garraway and Paul Daniels and Debbie McGee all joined Ross, 52, as he launched his book Taking Hollywood with a swanky party at London’s Mandarin Oriental hotel. The idea for the novel came about when his long-time friend, author Shari Low, approached him with the suggestion of writing his biography. “I didn’t feel I had enough to say. My life hasn’t been full of terrible setbacks and nor was I…

With a client list that includes Sarah, Duchess of York and Nancy Dell’Olio, plus heads of state and royalty, Ivana Daniell is on a mission to get people moving again. Whether it’s a bad back or sore knees, a gym injury or illness that has left you in pain and unable to move unrestricted, she can help. A trained dancer who turned to rehabilitation Pilates after injury, Ivana decided to use what she had learnt to improve the lives of others. “I see so many people in pain, unable to even walk freely, that I have devoted my career to getting people moving and living free from pain again,” she says. To achieve this, she uses a combination of postural assessment, Gyrotonics, which uses equipment to strengthen and tone the…

Kim and Nick Taylor After celebrating their wedding in the peaceful Lincolnshire fens, Kim and Nick jetted off to Indonesia for an exotic honeymoon. Jo and Colin Caudwell Jo’s stunning Caroline Castigliano gown – her prize for winning one of HELLO!’s fabulous wedding competitions last year – was carefully packed for the long journey to New Zealand, where she and Colin tied the knot at Markovina Vineyard. The happy couple then enjoyed a luxury honeymoon in Thailand – again, all part of her wonderful prize. If you’d like us to consider your photos for Just Married, please send a selection, by email only, to…

Peter Capaldi will have already clocked up an impressive number of air miles when Doctor Who starts this weekend, having been on a global tour to promote the new series, in which he stars as the 12th Time Lord. And all without the aid of a certain time-travelling police box… “The very first thing I had to do was get into that Tardis, and I’m thinking, ‘Oh my God, this is the actual Tardis,’ except of course it’s not bigger inside, it’s actually smaller,” says the Glaswegian actor, 56, who made his debut as the Doctor in last year’s Christmas special. The challenge of taking on the role vacated by Matt Smith during the show’s 50th anniversary year is mind-boggling, even for the star of The Thick of It, who…

He regularly hits the headlines for his relationship with Jennifer Aniston, to whom he’s been engaged since August 2012, however much he tries to keep himself under the radar. Actor and writer Justin Theroux, 43 – whose cousin is documentary maker Louis Theroux while travel writer and novelist Paul Theroux is one of his uncles – has writing credits on the likes of Tropic Thunder, Iron Man 2 and Rock of Ages and has appeared in such films as Zoolander and 2011’s Wanderlust, on which he met Jennifer. He’s now starring as New York Police Chief Kevin Garvey in the fantasy TV drama The Leftovers, set in a world where two per cent of the population has mysteriously vanished. Here, Justin opens up about his love for big cities, tattoos…

After years as the world’s most desirable bachelor, George Clooney will soon have to get to grips with married life after he ties the knot with Amal Alamuddin. But the famously genial Hollywood star already knows the ropes when it comes to playing host, as he proved last week, when he and his fiancée warmly welcomed guests to his holiday home on Lake Como, Italy. The 53-year-old and Amal, 36, seemed delighted to be joined by their visitors, who arrived in suitably glamorous style on a red speedboat, which George then deftly helped to moor. SAVE THE DATE Sure to have been a major topic of conversation was the couple’s wedding, which reports have said might take place on 20 September at George’s Italian home, Villa Oleandra, after they posted…

Eva Longoria and her billionaire beau revved up their romance last week as the loved-up couple scooted around Miami Beach. The former Desperate Housewives star and media entrepreneur Jose Antonio Baston, 46, looked wheely in love as they cruised the streets on a scooter (left) and enjoyed a romantic stroll in the summer sun (below and right). The pair’s romance – which started ten months ago – seems to be going strong and Eva was showing no signs of being phased by news that ex-husband Tony Parker has remarried, tying the knot with Axelle Francine in Texas two weeks ago. Twice-wed Eva, 39, hasn’t ruled out the possibility of another trip up the aisle herself. “You never say never to anything,” she has said.…

Peter Phillips probably never expected to take centre stage with rock legend Bruce Springsteen, but that’s exactly what happened last week, when the royal and the rocker saddled up to a party at London hotel Claridge’s. The unlikely duo were on hand to toast the start of the Longines Global Champions Tour, a prestigious showjumping competition being organised by the Queen’s eldest grandson (left) for the second year on the trot. Bruce was in town with his wife Patti Scialfa to cheer on their daughter Jessica (all right). She was one of 30 competitors taking part in the equestrian extravaganza on Horseguards Parade in central London, though it seems Jessica was the one doing the cheering at the launch party (inset, below right). The following day, the 22-year-old took part…

CELINE DION Takes time off to care for husband Singing superstar Celine Dion has put her career on hold to care for her husband René Angélil (together, left) while he is treated for cancer. The 46-year-old Think Twice singer has cancelled all shows until 2015, including a tour of Asia and her regular concerts in Las Vegas. “I want to devote every ounce of my strength and energy to my husband’s healing, and to do so it’s important for me to dedicate this time to him and to our children,” the singer said in a statement. “I also want to apologise to all my fans everywhere, for inconveniencing them, and I thank them so much for their love and support.” The couple are parents to three sons, René-Charles, 13, and…

Danielle Hope’s feet have barely touched the ground in the four years since she won Over the Rainbow. Her victory on the TV talent show took her straight into the West End production of The Wizard of Oz as Dorothy, swiftly followed by a stint as Eponine in Les Misérables. It was only on a recent trip to visit her family in Manchester that her success hit home. “I was in the shed my dad had built for me and my younger brother David when we were little. I sat down and I just started to cry. It was as if everything that had happened in those four years suddenly struck me,” the 22-year-old tells HELLO! “I was thinking, ‘Has all of this actually happened to me?’” Not that the…

GETTING SHIRTY IN MAYFAIR Number 42, the private members’ club in the heart of London’s Mayfair, was the tops as the venue for the launch of Elizabeth Emanuel’s new collection of women’s business blouses for Thresher & Glenny, in collaboration with The House of Britannia, the luxury conglomerate that celebrates all things British. House of Britannia chair Lady Delves Broughton hosted the cocktail party, where guests, who included one of the Queen’s senior spokesmen, David Pogson, and acclaimed actor Edward Fox, drank champagne as they admired drawings of the collection on display. RESORTING TO A PARTY Fashion-loving Londoners made their way to the Pompadour Suite at the Café Royal on Regent Street to celebrate the launch of the Vilshenko Resort 2015 collection of stylish, simple separates and pretty floral dresses.…

Michelle and Mark hit the decks... Ibiza has been the place to be seen this summer, as celebrities have flocked to Europe’s most glamorous party island. Engaged couple Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright led the way, joining the famous names in the Balearics to soak up the sun and party up a storm. The pair, who have recently moved into their first home together in Essex and are due to tie the knot next year, were seen at the exclusive Ocean Beach club. The 27-year-old former The Only Way is Essex star was booked to DJ at the Lipsy London Pool Party, hosted by the fashion brand where Michelle has her own line. The former Coronation Street star was on hand to support her man and was turning heads herself…

A familiar beat started up from the DJ’s decks. “Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof…” invited Pharrell Williams. Joan Collins didn’t need any persuasion to take to the dancefloor, she tells HELLO! , as she gives us an intimate glimpse into party season in St Tropez in the South of France and shares her secrets to looking fabulous into the early hours… ‘ The [Pharrell Williams] song Happy has to be the most infectious tune of the year. Like my fellow guests at my friend Monika Bacardi’s glamorous pre-Venice AMBI Pictures party in St Tropez earlier this month, I was powerless to resist. Springing to my feet with my husband Percy [Gibson], who’s a fabulous dancer, I clapped and waved my arms along with the…

With events such as hammer throwing and a tug of war open to all-comers, who could blame the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall for having a shot at the Ballater Highland Games. Dressed in tartan (far left), the couple seemed keen to get into the spirit of things, toasting competitors with a dram of whisky (left) as the annual event celebrated its 150th year. Scotland’s Duke and Duchess of Rothesay had arrived by car from nearby Birkhall on the Queen’s Balmoral estate, where they are spending the summer, before touring the site and watching dancing and athletics in the chieftain’s tent. The day was a family affair for Camilla, who was joined by her daughter Laura Lopes and grandchildren Eliza, six, and four-year-old twins Gus and Louis,…

She’s barely mastered the art of walking, but that’s not stopped North West from taking her first steps into the modelling world. The 13-month-old daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West appears in the latest edition of Carine Roitfeld’s CR Fashion Book, wearing Chanel (left), alongside a quote from the fashion house’s creative director Karl Lagerfeld, who wrote: “It’s never too early to care about fashion!” The photograph is not the tiny tot’s first fashion moment, however; she’s also appeared beside her parents in a shoot for Vogue. And Kim (right, with Kanye and North in New York recently) has said that despite North’s youth, she is no dummy when it comes to perfecting her look. “When she is aware there’s a camera she does this pose face,” the reality…

Pop legend Olivia Newton-John has found the one that she wants – to have a selfie with. The Grease star met her waxwork in Las Vegas and couldn’t resist taking a photo of the two of them (below). The mannequin, which will be displayed at Madame Tussauds in Hollywood, portrays Olivia, who’s now 65, in her unforgettable role as Sandy in the hit 1978 musical. “It’s very strange, it’s very bizarre,” said the singer. “It’s like before and after.” Olivia came face to face with the waxwork at the Flamingo Las Vegas hotel, where she is performing a Summer Nights residency, thrilling hopelessly devoted fans with tunes from Grease as well as some of her own hits, including Physical and Xanadu. As she posed for photos for fans, Olivia acknowledged…

Eight plainclothes police officers searched the Berkshire home of pop veteran Sir Cliff Richard last Thursday, in relation to an alleged historical sexual offence. The 73-year-old categorically denied the allegation in a statement. “For many months I have been aware of allegations against me of historic impropriety which have been circulating online,” it said. “The allegations are completely false. Up until now I have chosen not to dignify the false allegations with a response, as it would just give them more oxygen. However, the police attended my apartment in Berkshire today without notice, except it would appear to the press. “I am not presently in the UK but it goes without saying that I will cooperate fully should the police wish to speak to me. Beyond stating that today’s allegation…

One of the brightest lights in comedy went out last week with the death of Robin Williams. The 63-year-old actor and comic, loved and admired for his inspired improvisations, brilliant mimicry, boundless energy and sweetness of nature, took his own life. In an emotional statement a few days later, his wife Susan Schneider confirmed that Robin, who was suffering from depression, had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. “Robin’s sobriety was intact and he was brave as he struggled with his own battles of depression, anxiety as well as early stages of Parkinson’s disease, which he was not yet ready to share publicly. “It is our hope in the wake of Robin’s tragic passing that others will find the strength to seek the care and support they need to treat whatever…

Looking a bit like he could use some of his on-screen superhuman strength, Thor star Chris Hemsworth plays double duty, juggling two of his three young children as he arrives in LA with wife Elsa Pataky, India Rose, two, and five-month-old twins Tristan and Sasha. Over the last few months the family has often been on the move – as well as shooting the Avengers: Age of Ultron in London, Elsa has family in Spain, Chris is Australian and the couple are based out of Malibu. Next up, the 31-year-old hunk will start work on The Huntsman, with Charlize Theron.…

She may be one of the world’s most beautiful actresses, but only now in her 30s does Jessica Alba finally feel comfortable in her own skin. And the mother of two – who bares almost all as vengeful exotic dancer Nancy in Sin City: A Dame to Kill For – credits marriage to producer Cash Warren and motherhood for her newfound confidence. “I feel better now than I ever have,” says the star, who juggles being mum to Honor, six, and Haven, three last week, with her Hollywood career and running The Honest Company, a business she co-founded to source high-quality natural products for families. “It’s crazy looking back on my 20s because it feels like they flew by. It showed me that whatever I thought I knew, I don’t…

Leo 24 JUL – 23 AUG Why are there so many billions of people on the planet? A little excessive, surely. You couldn’t possibly get to meet them all. But perhaps we are here in such numbers so we never run out of others to blame. There will always be a fool who should have known better, an idiot who’s made it all go wrong.

With a witty script, co-written by Denise, and a soundtrack of 1980s and 1990s hits, the musical centres on successful, beautiful, happily-married Stephanie, who seems to have it all – until a message on Facebook evokes powerful memories of her first love. “It’s not a jazz-hands musical, it’s very realistic,” says Denise.
