It’s known as the world’s most glamorous gala and last week the New York Met Ball showed why. After 2013’s punk theme, the show-stopping event paid tribute to “America’s first couturier”, Charles James, with white tie and tails and trains a-plenty. From Sarah Jessica Parker’s high-drama monochrome Oscar de la Renta number to an ethereal Suki Waterhouse in a tiered tulle Burberry gown, this was couture glitz at its finest. Winning the prize for biggest dress was supermodel Karolina Kurkova, who took up the backseat of her limo in an elaborate hand-painted Marchesa masterpiece. “I have to figure out how to sit down,” she told HELLO!, as she sparkled in more than $1million (£600,000)-worth of Harry Winston diamonds. British-born Charles James was a giant of mid-20th century fashion, famous for…

After making one conversion – becoming a devoted dad to baby Mia – Gloucester Rugby’s player-coach Mike Tindall looks likely to give new career options a try. The former England captain has hinted at his intention to retire from the sport after the final match of the season. Mike shared the news with his Twitter followers last week following a game at Gloucester’s home ground. “Looks like the last game at Kingsholm has been played,” he tweeted in the wake of his team’s 38-30 victory over London Irish. “Gutted it has to end.” To mark the occasion, he enlisted the support of one special little fan. Carrying three-month-old Mia in his arms, he made a post-match lap of the pitch (right). Dressed in the Gloucester strip, the tiny tot had…

Vintage fashion couldn’t be more on trend these days and as any savvy fashionista knows, there are some dresses that never go out of style. Just ask Queen Maxima of the Netherlands, who took sartorial recycling to a whole new level by borrowing a 33-year-old dress from her mother-in-law’s closet. Celebrating the country’s Liberation Day (far left and below), Maxima donned a silky emerald gown that then-Queen Beatrix wore to an official visit to Belgium in 1981 (left). Famed for her vibrant outfits, the creation, with its crystal and marabou feather details, fitted the royal’s style to a T. A shared wardrobe is just the latest display of the close bond between the two ladies. Beatrix (above) has described Maxima as “an intelligent, modern woman” – just the formula to…

Ensuring her daughter Betsy had a model fourth birthday party was no problem for Denise Van Outen, who treated the youngster and friends to a trip to Legoland in Windsor – with Betsy’s dad Lee Mead joining them (above). The venue was an ideal choice for the couple, who separated last July after work commitments led to the end of their marriage. With Lee now back on home ground following a stint in the US, they have been spending more family time together. And they were certainly united in their aim to give their little girl a big day full of fun. “Betsy and her friends loved the rides,” Denise tweeted. “Betsy had an amazing party.”…

Fans of Katherine Jenkins must have been wondering if she’d had a whirlwind wedding after the mezzo-soprano posted pictures of herself in what appeared to be a bridal gown a mere three weeks after she announced her engagement. Dressed in a floor-skimming white dress from British designer Suzanne Neville, Katherine looked very much like a beautiful bride. However, the only aisle Katherine was planning to walk down was on a British Airways 787 Dreamliner plane ahead of its launch Chengdu, -London direct flight. The mezzo-soprano performed Hallelujah and Amazing Grace on the flower-adorned steps of the aeroplane (top right) to a thrilled audience in the Chinese city. Although the bride-to-be has yet to name the date for her wedding, reports suggest that she and New York-based artist and film-maker Andrew…

Last week Pippa Middleton bowled over guests at the Waitrose Summer Party, held at Lord’s Cricket Ground in London, before enjoying extras – a cosy dinner with her brother James and his girlfriend Donna Air. Sporting a green Tabitha Webb lace dress and nude heels, Pippa mingled with celebrities at the bash thrown by the supermarket – the Duchess of Cambridge’s little sister writes a column for the Waitrose Kitchen magazine. The 30-year-old caught up with Great British Bake-Off queen Mary Berry who, it has been revealed, is a favourite of the Duchess, and Ben Fogle, with whom Pippa shared a cab to the restaurant Trishna to join her brother’s party. There the Middletons were joined by Donna and a mutual pal, Tom Kingston, though Pippa’s boyfriend Nico Jackson couldn’t…

Tennis legend Roger Federer and his wife Mirka last week welcomed twins for the second time. The seven-time Wimbledon champion, already dad to twin daughters Myla and Charlene, born in July 2009, revealed the happy news on Twitter. “Mirka and I are so incredibly happy to share that Leo and Lenny were born this evening! #TwinsAgain #Miracle,” the Swiss star tweeted. The 32-year-old announced the arrival of his twin boys just hours after pulling out of the Madrid Masters to be at the side of his former tennis pro wife of five years as she gave birth. “I’ve decided to withdraw from Madrid to be with my wife Mirka during these next few exciting weeks for our family,” he said. “I apologise to my fans and hope to be back…

It wasn’t “The Club” of the hit JLS song, but the magnificent Scottish stately home of Mount Stuart that was alive with the sound of music on 3 May when the band’s Jonathan “JB” Gill married his long-term love, professional dancer Chloe Tangney. The groom’s former bandmates Marvin Humes, Aston Merrygold and Oritsé Williams, Marvin’s wife Rochelle – a member of girlband The Saturdays – and dancer and former Pussycat Doll Kimberly Wyatt joined the 140 guests who travelled to the picturesque Isle of Bute for a ceremony filled with love, laughter, tears and singing, led by a spine-tingling gospel choir. “Music is obviously a massive part of our lives, so it was always going to play a big part in our day,” JB told HELLO!, who were thrilled to…

Acclaimed US musician Tori Amos has just hit the road and the Professional Widow singer, who turned 50 last year, says she would like to see more women her age touring. “There are many more men who are able to be accepted by the music culture as they turn 70 than women,” says Tori. “Barbra Streisand has just done a tour and Bette Midler still performs and the fact Kate Bush is playing so many dates after 35 years is fantastic, as well as very brave and bold. It’s inspiring.” But as Tori releases her 14th album, Unrepentant Geraldines, this week and embarks on an 80-date world tour, her 13-year-old daughter Tash, who sings on the album, has put certain stipulations on her mum. “She’s said not too much skin…

She is one of Britain’s best-loved musical stars and a very famous person could be among those cheering Ruthie Henshall on when she makes her debut in Billy Elliot The Musical this week – the Earl of Wessex, a former boyfriend. “Edward is absolutely lovely,” she says. “We still keep in touch on birthdays and at Christmas. Will he bring his children to see the show? I hope so. “I definitely wouldn’t have wanted to be the Countess of Wessex, though,” adds Ruthie, who dated the Prince on and off for five years from the late 1980s. “I wouldn’t be able to do the work I love in that role. They would have needed bodyguards and sniffer dogs in the theatre every night.” Ruthie, 47, went on to marry Canadian…

From 1960s chic to cool nautical style, spots and stripes are classic fashion looks. They’re also one of Donna Air’s favourite trends, making the mismatched pair a natural choice for her first styling assignment for HELLO!. “I wear spots and stripes a lot,” says the 34-year-old model, TV presenter, mum of one and dedicated follower of fashion. “Coming up with all the concepts for these shoots, I have various ideas of what I’d like to do across the year, but this seemed a great idea to kick off with. “While it’s an obvious summer trend, it’s also really kind of classic and something that can be chic all year round,” she says. “If you do it right these patterns can be current, but also timeless.” Talking to Donna and seeing…

The Queen and the Prince of Wales are both fans and it is available on the NHS. But although homeopathy is used to treat everything from the common cold to malaria and cholera, a recently published study suggests it is no more effective than a placebo. Homeopathy uses natural substances that, taken in large doses, cause the symptoms of a disease or condition. It then dilutes them to perhaps one part in a million, in a tincture – usually a weak alcohol solution – sort of like an extremely weak vaccination. Practitioners say you do not need the active ingredient itself and that its chemical memory is sufficient to effect biological changes. However, after analysing research into the impact of homeopathy on 68 health conditions, Australia’s National Health and Medical…

THREE-SPICE CRUSTED SCALLOPS WITH GRAPES ‘Ever since I first used scallops, they’ve become a regular part of my cooking. I’ve sourced them from various parts of the country and even from across the Channel, but I find Rye Bay scallops the best. They’re quick to cook and have a fantastic natural, juicy sweetness.’ Serves 4 Preparation time 15 minutes Cooking time 8 minutes INGREDIENTS • 12 king-sized scallops, cleaned and coral removed • ½ tbsp sesame seeds • ½ tsp chilli and ½ tsp garlic flakes, mixed • ½ tsp ground coriander and ½ tsp ground cumin, mixed • 3 tbsp olive or vegetable oil • 100g/4oz unsalted butter For the grape sauce • 200g/7oz whole black and green seedless grapes, washed • 50g/2oz fresh mint leaves, washed • 25g/1oz…

She is the queen of daytime TV, but 54-year-old Lorraine Kelly, who has just launched this year’s High Street Fashion Awards, says she is no style icon. “For a long time I would wear absolutely anything – as you can see from the evidence over the years. You’d think my pals would have told me,” she laughs. “It all changed for me after 50. The fashion from Mad Men became all the rage, I lost a bit of weight and took a bit more of an interest in it. I love Twitter for feedback. People say they like it, or they don’t.” The awards are voted for by viewers – phone lines open this week – and are an annual highlight for Lorraine. “It’s a big celebration of what we…

It’s 20 years this month since Friends hit our TV screens and Courteney Cox is still stunned by what a success the show was. “We had 52 million viewers. Fifty-two million viewers. It’s crazy,” she says. The sitcom made Courteney a household name, but she hasn’t been resting on her laurels since it finished in 2004. As well as acting in hit TV comedy Cougar Town, she’s also directed several episodes of the show and her movie directorial debut, the comedy Just Before I Go, premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival last month. Her personal life is going just as well. After her divorce from David Arquette – the father of daughter Coco, who turns ten next month – the 49-year-old actress found love again, with Snow Patrol guitarist Johnny…

For bride Kirstie Rooney, it was a case of something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue-blooded when she found a royal gatecrasher at her wedding. The Duke of Rothesay helped make Kirstie and husband Barry’s special day even more so after bumping into them at Ayr Town Hall. Prince Charles was in the town for a parade and reception by the Queen’s Own Yeomanry, of which he is the royal honorary colonel. Dressed in khakis, he had been attending an honorary celebration for the regiment held in the same building as the Registrars’ Office where Kirstie and her army private husband had just tied the knot. After offering his congratulations, Charles posed for photos with the happy couple, who said it had been “absolutely amazing”. They added: “Who…

Michelle Keegan’s dream journey is far away from the cobbles of Weatherfield. The hellomagazine.com columnist and former Coronation Street star has her heart set on visiting the troops on the frontline. She was inspired by a visit to Tedworth House in Wiltshire (below and below right), the recovery centre run by Help for Heroes, where she chatted to some of the injured military personnel being treated there (left). “I know a lot of people who are in the military so it’s something I’m passionate about,” she said. “I’d love to go out and visit the troops – particularly after seeing them today. With what’s been going on in places like Iraq and Afghanistan, it’s humbling to hear the stories when they return. Some of them are incredible.” As well as…

Long surrounded by the sweet smell of success, it was only a matter of time before Cheryl Cole launched her own fragrance. The singer has been experimenting with different kinds of notes and the result, StormFlower, is due to hit stores in August. “I am so EXCITED!!!,” she wrote on Instagram, sharing “a sneak peek direct from the shoot for my very first Fragrance!!!” (above). It’s a busy time for Cheryl. Not only will she make her X Factor return soon, it’s also reported she’ll perform a new single on the live final of Britain’s Got Talent. Little wonder the newly ombred star, showing off her chic style in LA last week (left), told HELLO! recently: “There’s that famous quote, ‘Blondes have more fun,’ and I think they do.”…

After a decidedly dark time for the Geldof family, Sir Bob’s eldest daughter Fifi Trixibelle had some happy news to announce – her engagement to busker boyfriend, Andrew Robertson (left). Alongside the words: “Boydonegood”, the 31-year-old PR executive posted a picture of her sparkling diamond ring on Instagram, next to a “sunny sideways selfie” (both right). The couple are expected to hold the wedding in July next year. Fifi’s news comes not long after reports that her father has proposed to his partner of 18 years, Jeanne Marine (far right). Both engagements follow the death of Peaches, 25, (below right, with sisters Fifi, Pixie and Tiger Lily), who passed away last month, leaving behind children Astala, two, and 11-month-old Phaedra, and her musician husband Thomas Cohen. “Bob and Jeanne have…

Her latest role sees her as the vindictive fairy intent on destroying the young princess’s happiness. But in real life, Maleficent star Angelina Jolie is enjoying her own happy ever after with her actor fiancé Brad Pitt and their six children. Out on the royal-blue carpet in London to promote the film, the couple’s joy at being together was plain to see as they exchanged loving glances and grins while posing for the press photographers. “He is so lovely,” said Angelina, 38, of her partner of ten years while he played Prince Charming with the fans at Kensington Palace, posing in selfies and planting kisses on cheeks. Angelina’s words came not long after she talked about the “deep love” she shares with the 12 Years a Slave star. “I never…

‘This is the worst craving as sauerkraut smells and every time you open up a jar it just reeks the whole kitchen. It’s not like ice cream where everything smells lovely’ Actress Mila Kunis (left), who is expecting a baby with fiancé Ashton Kutcher, is in a pickle over her pregnancy cravings ‘Back, despite public demand’ Stage magician Paul Daniels reveals the title of his latest show, which people may like a little, but not a lot ‘Point me to 50 people online who think I’m super sexy. I’ll point you to 50 more who say he’s old and looks like my dad’ Mad Men star Jon Hamm doesn’t wish to advertise his sex-symbol status ‘There comes a point where you have to match bits of you with the other…

BURGER QUEEN KEIRA IS NO BUN WORSHIPPER As she tucks into chips and a burger in a beer garden in Berlin, Keira Knightley reveals what may be the secret to her slim figure: ditching the bun (below). The absence of cutlery didn’t phase the down-to-earth A-lister, who made do by eating with her fingers. DEMI AND BRUCE’S GIRLS HIT THE RED CARPET IN L.A. Demi Moore, 51, and daughter Rumer Willis, 25, put rift reports behind them as they make a stylish splash together, hand in hand, at the Palo Alto premiere in LA (above). Meanwhile, Rumer’s sisters Scout, 22, and Tallulah, 20, from Demi’s marriage to Bruce Willis, had their own night out at Nylon’s Young Hollywood bash (below). It seems the girls are thrilled about last week’s birth…

As rumours continue to swirl that Strictly Come Dancing presenter Claudia Winkleman may take the reins from Sir Bruce Forsyth to join Tess Daly as co-host, choreographer and dancer Camilla Dallerup tells HELLO!’s Inside Entertainment that she is fully behind the potential duo. “My gut instinct is that they might keep it with Tess and Claudia,” she told us when we caught up with her at a charity photoshoot for Breast Cancer Campaign last week. “They’ve been part of the brand for so long that it wouldn’t be like someone actually replacing him. You can’t really replace someone like Bruce. I wish whoever takes over the best of luck because they’re massive boots to fill.” She is, of course, sad that the 86-year-old won’t be part of the show any…

Dazzling on the red carpet in London before performing at Gabrielle’s Gala, Rita Ora showed she had stayed true to the words of her new track I Will Never Let You Down by jetting straight from the Met Ball in New York to support the cancer charity event. Barely having time to catch her breath, the singer looked fresh-faced and fabulous as she joined celebrities including Lindsay Lohan, Chloe Green, Ronan Keating and Tamara Ecclestone at the Old Billingsgate fundraiser for Gabrielle’s Angel Foundation for Cancer Research, set up by songwriter Denise Rich in memory of her daughter Gabrielle, who died of leukaemia aged 27 in 1996. “I’m a bit jet-lagged but who cares, I need to be here to support the charity,” said Rita, shimmering in a gold, slashed-to-the-thigh…

Glowing with health and happiness, actress Kate Bosworth really does have the golden touch. Married last summer to her Big Sur director Michael Polish, she has three films in the pipeline and a successful fashion collaboration with Topshop. She’s also the new face of skincare range SK-II. Not bad for a girl who calls her famously mismatched eyes – one is hazel, the other is blue – a “defect”. Here, we chat to Kate her about skincare and style. Kate, how did you come to work with SK-II? “I’ve been a true fan of the products for many years. I was introduced to SK-II when I was 21 by my make-up artist Pati Dubroff and because I have seen such incredible results in my skin and firmly believe in the…

A-list advocates of homeopathic remedies include the Prince of Wales, who has long championed alternative medicine, and businesswoman Jo Wood. “The earth supplies us with everything we need to keep fit, well and healthy,” she says. “That is why homeopathy is the right choice for me.” Former tennis player Annabel Croft says she uses homeopathy to treat “everything from early signs of coughs and colds to sports injuries”, while David Beckham talked positvely about the results of the homeopathic treatment he received after breaking a bone in his foot only weeks before the 2002 World Cup. Other famous homeopathy fans include Hollywood stars Johnny Depp and Catherine Zeta-Jones, sprinter Usain Bolt and musician Sir Paul McCartney.…

1 EVENT ROYAL WINDSOR HORSE SHOW Organisers of the Royal Windsor Horse Show say this year’s event will be bigger and better than ever – and the first day is free of charge to all visitors who trot along to see the equine extravaganza. Set in the Queen’s back garden – aka the grounds of Windsor Castle – the show, now in its 71st year, features more than 130 equestrian competitions including dressage and showjumping. Added attractions include more than 200 stalls and a funfair, plus entertainment including the Musical Ride from The Household Calvary and The King’s Troop Musical Drive. You might even spot the Queen – Her Majesty is renowned for her love of horses and the royal patron has attended the event for the past 43 years.…

Home from the US and back on the London party scene, Prince Harry was celebrating once again, but this time for a very good cause – the success of the charity Sentebale, which he co-founded ten years ago to help vulnerable children in the southern African kingdom of Lesotho. To mark the milestone, Harry and his Sentebale co-founder, Prince Seeiso of Lesotho, were joined by a group of supporters – including Harry’s cousin Peter Phillips and his wife Autumn – at the Sentebale Summer Party, a glittering bash at The Dorchester hotel. The dress code was smart-casual, prompting Harry and many of the men to go tieless. The ladies still opted for elegance, however, with singer Joss Stone, classical star Camilla Kerslake, actress Jodi Albert and Jecca Craig – a…

Prince George is quickly blossoming into the star of the royal family and now he has a flower named after him. A new variety of daffodil called Georgie Boy will be unveiled at this year’s Chelsea Flower Show and his great-grandparents the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh could be among the first to see it. “We’d like to think the Queen will come and have a look at it, but we won’t know until the day which stands she’s going to visit. There’s no guarantees on that one,” the flower’s creator Johnny Walkers, who has won medals at the show every year for the past two decades, told HELLO!. “I don’t know what I’ll say – you wait for the Queen to talk to you, you don’t start talking…

Along with his words of tribute, Sir Mick Jagger sang a final song for his longtime companion L’Wren Scott (left) at her memorial service in New York. Ending with the lyrics: “You ache just like a woman, but you break just like a little girl,” Bob Dylan’s Just Like a Woman was a poignant choice by which to remember the 49-year-old US fashion designer, who committed suicide in March. Sir Mick was joined at the service at St Bartholomew’s Church in Manhattan by some of the biggest names in film, music and fashion, including actresses Meg Ryan, Julianne Moore and Sarah Jessica Parker, film directors Martin Scorsese and Baz Luhrmann, Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter and Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, fashion icon Daphne Guinness and Sir Mick’s fellow Rolling Stones…

Following her split from Coldplay singer husband Chris Martin (below right), it seems Gwyneth Paltrow is single-minded in her determination to expand her lifestyle brand website goop.com. Last week, the actress opened a pop-up shop in Los Angeles, selling clothing, jewellery and housewares. The treats in store were not confined to the shelves, however, with the Iron Man star popping in to sign copies of her books. The 41-year-old Oscar winner also hosted a launch party, where she was supported by her mum Blythe Danner (left). “I don’t know if we’ll do a permanent store,” Gwyneth said. “But I find this exhilarating. It’s a real buzz.” She is definitely sold on the idea of retail. Users can buy things that appear on her website and she also organised the second…

Nearly three months in and it’s obvious Simon Cowell’s baby son Eric gets a resounding “Yes” from his dad every time. The besotted talentshow judge tweeted a series of photographs of the 11-week-old (bottom right) along with a caption confirming that the tiny tot is “very handsome like his dad”. It’s not the first time he’s made the comparison. Shortly after Eric’s birth in February, the 54-year-old said: “He looks just like me… He’s amazing.” Mum Lauren Silverman seems equally pleased and when they took him to an LA restaurant last week, she could not resist picking him up to give him a cuddle (right). Eric wasn’t the only one being showered with affection during their lunch at Villa Blanca, with Lauren, 36, snuggling up to her man when their…

ELENA BALTACHA Tributes as tennis ace dies at 30 Wimbledon champion Andy Murray led the tributes to fellow British tennis star Elena Baltacha, who died last weekend aged 30 after losing her battle with liver cancer. “The more time that passes, the more people will celebrate everything that Bally did because she was a great character and she got everything she could out of her potential,” he said. Ukraine-born Elena, who had been coached by Andy’s mum Judy when she was younger, was diagnosed with the disease two months after she retired from the sport last year. “We are heartbroken beyond words at the loss of our beautiful, talented and determined Bally,” said her husband Nino Severino, her former coach, whom she married in late 2013. • Virgin Soldiers author…

The Queen looked in radiant health as she and the Prince of Wales arrived for the historic Order of the Bath service at London’s Westminster Abbey last Friday. Her Majesty wore a heavy robe with a train on top of an Angela Kelly evening gown with silver shoes and matching clutch for the ceremony, which is held every four years. After a dress rehearsal the day before, it was decided that the cumbersome regalia might hamper the Queen when climbing up and down the steps of the Abbey’s Lady Chapel of King Henry VII to take part in the offering of gold and silver coins. Instead, Prince Charles, in his role as Great Master of the Order, stepped in to perform that part of the service, which sees 12 knights…

As they awaited the birth of their second child, Bruce Willis and his stunning wife of five years Emma Heming-Willis kept the due date a closely guarded secret. So, too, was the baby’s gender. Not even the couple themselves knew the answer to that question. “We’re going for the big reveal on the day. It will be the greatest surprise of our lives,” Emma confided to HELLO! shortly before the birth. Emma, 37, and 59-year-old Bruce – along with the world – got their answer last week with the arrival of Evelyn Penn Willis, a beautiful baby sister for the couple’s two-year-old daughter Mabel Ray. “Going through the experience again is just as special for me as it was first time around,” the new mum told HELLO! exclusively just days…

Whether gracing the red carpet at film premieres or gliding up the aisle to marry Prince Rainier III of Monaco after a whirlwind romance, Grace Kelly was the epitome of old Hollywood glamour. So when Grace of Monaco director Olivier Dahan wanted to bring the princess to life on the big screen, it was only natural that he call upon luxury jewellery house Cartier to recreate some of her priceless jewels. With approval from the Sovereign House of Monaco, the French jewellers reproduced five iconic pieces, the most impressive of which is the replica of the 10.47-carat, emerald-cut, diamond engagement ring that the Prince presented to Grace just a few months after they met. Film buffs may recall that she wore the ring in her last…

SIR ELTON TURNS ON THE POWER Sir Elton John dazzled starry guests when he took to the stage to play some of his greatest hits beneath the famous chimneys of Battersea Power Station. The Rocket Man was performing at a party held to thank everyone involved in the redevelopment of the London landmark and to bring together people from across the community. Games of Thrones star Rose Leslie and milliner Philip Treacy were among the 2,000-strong crowd enjoying champagne and food from luxury stalls. The evening ended with a spectacular lightshow. C’EST CHIC IN CHELSEA Designer Jasper Conran brought some Gallic élan to Chelsea when he hosted a soiree to launch A Season in France at the family brand’s London flagship store.

Wearing a cut-out burgundy Jenny Packham gown, Kate Beckinsale kept her hair and make-up understated but on-trend at the recent Empire Film Awards. “Kate’s dress was sexy and sophisticated, so hairdresser Christian Wood and I worked together to do something quite fresh and young to play it off,” says make-up artist Emma Day about Kate’s palette of glossy nude cosmetics and high ponytail. Here, Emma tells us how to get the look at home… Nude and improved “Kate has radiant, youthful skin so the first thing I set out to do was maintain that glow,” says Emma. “After prepping her skin with Aesop Mandarin Facial Hydrating Cream, £33, from Liberty, and By Terry Serum de Rose, £79 (6), from Space NK, which acts as a primer, the next step was…

Taurus 21 APR – 21 MAY Love, some people say, makes the world go round. Others believe money does that. Your heart has always influenced your decisions far more than your desire to gain wealth. If you could wave a magic wand, you’d give all you’ve got to someone who needs help. Financially, that may be beyond you this week – but, emotionally, it’s perfectly possible. And it’s all that is needed. The planets say wonderful changes are possible. Call 0906-751 8080. Leo 24 JUL – 23 AUG There are some events that you cannot predict.
