Madonna strikes a sultry pose for Louis Vuitton

Madonna shows that she’s losing none of her sex appeal with age in a stunning ad for Louis Vuitton.
The 50-year-old singer has been pictured sporting unsightly bulging veins – a result of her rigorous exercise regime – in recent months.
But there are no prominent veins in sight as she poses seductively on a chair while holding a leg up – wearing fishnet tights, a tailored jacket and stilettos in the sexy shoot.
The newly-divorced star is said to have commanded a £6.5 million fee for the campaign.

Photographer Steven Meisel, who shot Madonna’s controversial 1992 book Sex, worked with her on the promotion.
Yesterday Madonna returned to Argentina twelve years after playing the country’s former first lady Eva Peron.
She arrived in Buenos Aires for the Latin America leg of her world tour with her three children and a huge entourage including 200 dancers, technicians and crew members.
Today she announced that she would be postponing the first of four shows in Buenos Aires.

Her opening concert at River Plate Stadium was delayed because mechanical problems delayed the plane transporting some of her wardrobe and sound equipment said Maria Florencia Puppo of the local production company time 4 Fun.
Television stations showed hundreds of fans abandoning lines for the concert, which was delayed until Friday. The opening concert will now take place on Thursday.
Madonna has been enjoying the company of baseball star Alex Rodriguez since announcing her split from husband of seven years Guy Ritchie in October. She and Ritchie offically divorced last month.
Rodriguez was pictured in the front row of one of Madonna’s concerts last week and then turned up in Mexico City this weekend, where the singer was performing as part of her world tour.
The New York Yankees star and his wife divorced in September, months after he made tabloid headlines for a rumored, but denied, dalliance with Madonna.

Britney Spears poses for Rolling Stone magazine

Britney Spears appears finally to have put her much-publicised breakdown behind her after landing the cover of Rolling Stone magazine.
Despite striking a wholesome pose in jeans and T-shirt on the publication, Britney admits her son’s language is not so clean-cut.
The singer admits she was horrified to discover Sean Preston, three, has been using the F-word, while two-year-old brother Jayden James likes calling people ‘stupid’.

Comeback queen: Britney Spears’ appearance on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine harks back to her wholesome all-American girl image
She tells the prestigious magazine: ‘Every time they come to visit me, I think about how much they’re such special people.
‘(But they) are starting to learn words like ‘stupid’, and Preston says the F-word now sometimes.
‘He must get it from his daddy (Kevin Federline). I say it, but not around my kids.’
She also reveals she has started dating again after her controversial relationship with paparazzo Adnan Ghalib earlier this year.
But the chance for romance has been severely limited because she is chaperoned by her assistant Brett and Adam Leber, an associate of her manager Larry Rudolph.
She said: ‘(One recent date) right when we got there, we just knew it was just bad. He looked like an older version of Harry Potter, but skinnier… So I had to get dessert first.
‘And the other date I had, the guy was really, really tall and a lot older.
‘We’re trying to ask him questions, like, “Ok, you’re into martial arts, so what kind of martial arts are you into?” And he was like, “Oh, all kinds.” But you know how silly we are, so we were just cracking up.’
Britney’s cover shot harks back to her pre-meltdown image as an innocent all-American girl, the photograph cements what has been a remarkable comeback for the troubled Toxic singer.
With a recent number one U.S. single, Womanizer, and new album Circus out next week, Britney looks to have travelled a long way since she removed her hair with electric clippers in full view of the paparazzi in February 2007.
Britney has appeared on the cover of Rolling Stones five times before, her previous appearance being more than five years ago.

Her first appearance on the cover of the magazine in April 1999 caused controversy because she was 17 at the time.
In the photo, taken by David LaChapelle, a teenage Britney poses in her underwear on the phone while clutching a Teletubbies Tinky Winky doll.
The 26-year-old was spotted leaving LAX airport in California yesterday, accompanied by her protective father Jamie, who held a hand over the star’s mouth to prevent her from talking to photographers.
Britney was catching a flight to Germany, before she then goes to France and finally England for a promotional tour of her single, Womanizer.
In London, she will make a live appearance on reality show The X Factor on Saturday.
Britney’s appearance comes after Mariah Carey and Will Young appeared on recent Saturdays, mentoring the contestants.
The X Factor episode will mark Britney’s first UK television performance for five years.

Beyonce strikes a pose for V Magazine

She’s known as the sexy, strong, fierce singer famous for her stylish outfits and curvy figure.
But Beyoncé sheds her tough outer skin to reveal a softer side in a new interview as she begins the exhaustive preparations for her 110-date tour starting next year.
‘When I’m onstage I’m aggressive and strong and not afraid of my sexuality. The tone of my voice gets different, and I’m fearless. I’m just a different person’.

Beyoncé strikes a pose for V Magazine as she talks about her image: ‘It’s really hard to stay on earth sometimes when you’re a celebrity’
And the name of that different person? Her alter ego, ‘Sasha Fierce’, whose name is the title of the second CD of her new 17-track double album.
‘It’s a way for me to differentiate what I do onstage from who I really am – It’s a way for me to not lose myself, to keep my life in perspective, because it’s really hard sometimes to stay on earth when you’re a celebrity.
‘There’s so much going on, and so many people give you whatever you want and say everything you do is great.’.

The singer starts a ‘stripped down, but bigger than ever’ 110-date tour in April and is planning a stylish entrance
‘At this point, I kind of have it down. I know boundaries, and I can look at somebody and say I don’t want them in my circle.
‘I’ve been doing this for twelve years professionally, and I’ve learned. it’s easier now.
‘Fame is a lot of work, but it doesn’t consume my life. I’m not obsessed.’.

Dressed to impress: ‘When I’m onstage I’m aggressive and strong and not afraid of my personality’
The singer tells V Magazine (www.vmagazine.com) that her new tour will be ‘stripped down, but also bigger’ than 2007’s appropriately titled ‘Beyoncé Experience’.
In that show she made her entrance in a cloud of theatrical smoke wearing a floor-length, cracked disco ball dress while pyrotechnics rained down behind her, and commandingly asked the audience, in three distinct parts: ‘Ladies and gentlemen. Are you ready. To be entertaaaaaaaaaaaained?’.

Transformation: Beyoncé storms the cover of V Magazine
‘It’s funny because right before the show I’m under the stage making sure my double-stick is in the right place, my pack is turned on, and my shoes have the stickies on the bottom so I don’t slip – all of these things that are so not glamorous.
‘Then I take my last slip of water, clear my throat, close my eyes, and tell myself: “You are fierce. You are fierce. You are fierce!”
‘And the second I take that first step and hear the crowd, I kind of transform. By the time I get up to the stage, I’m in the zone.
‘It’s like I’m ready for war.’.

Beyoncé in a range of poses as she prepares for her next world tour
V Magazine (www.vmagazine.com) asked top photographer Bruce Weber to shoot Beyoncé for the cover, and the songstress arrived at the shoot in an Obama state of mind, wearing an Obama T-shirt and with the president-elect’s surname manicured on her fingernails.

Her mood was matched by the magazine, which prepared 50,000 ‘Obama’s in the House’ red, white and blue stickers to add to front cover.
Editor Stephen Gan said ‘the issues were on their way to newsstands and this was our own small way of commemorating the moment.’
Also in the issue is Steven Meisel’s take on a recent U.K. trend of ‘dogging’, in which young couples engage in explicit activities in parked cars and public parks.
Meisel shot 28 pages and the model-filled images represent his first shoot for the magazine.

Actress Mischa Barton breast slipped out of her gown

Actress Mischa Barton suffered an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction last night as she revealed a little more than intended while leaving a fashion show in London.
The star’s breast slipped out of her satin red and gold evening gown as she jumped into a taxi after the Fashion For Relief show at the Natural History Museum in South Kensington.
The stunned 22-year-old quickly covered herself up and buried her head in her hands as the car pulled away.

Mischa was among a host of stars at the charity event including Princess Eugenie, Cheryl Cole, Sarah Brown and Elizabeth Jagger.
Earlier this week Mischa was spotted with actor Josh Hartnett at trendy club Bungalow 8, however the Pearl Harbour star has since denied rumours of a romance.
Mischa recently split from Rooney frontman Locke, 24, after almost seven months together.
The couple had just returned from a nearly three week safari and charity junket through Africa and all that togetherness seems to have been their downfall.

Wardrobe malfunction: The embarrassed star rearranges her dress before burying her head in her hands
A source said it was Mischa who pulled the plug. The source told In Touch magazine: ‘Mischa and Taylor’s romance worked because they spent so much time apart.
‘He’d be on tour or she’d be working in Europe and they talked over the phone or e-mail.
‘They fought almost every day on the trip. She broke up with him just a few days after they returned to LA.’.

Kate Moss’s seventh Topshop collection

With a new Topshop store due to open in New York later this year – his first in the US – how Sir Philip Green must have been hoping that his star signing would pull her finger out, and design an extra-specially strong collection for the occasion.
It seems he may have got his wish: certainly, Kate Moss’s seventh collection for the chain seems to be her most commercial yet.
Drawing on the rock chick look which has been her signature style ever since she turned 30, Moss’s new collection features skinny jeans, fake fur gilets, slouchy knits and a raft of the tea dresses which have proved so popular each season with London’s army of Moss-alikes.

Star of the show: Kate Moss’s Topshop swallow dress is set to be a hit
One, a flirty-skirted affair with a low sweetheart neckline, is guaranteed to be a sell-out. In midnight blue, it is emblazoned with the swallow print that Moss considers to be her ‘signature motif’, and was inspired by the small tattoo of two swallows that adorns her lower back.
But that’s as feminine as it gets, with the rest of the collection a hard-edged paean to after-hours dressing.

Rock chic: The collection stays true to Moss’s rock and roll roots.

A cropped leather jacket spattered with studs, wet-look skinny jeans and a black faux fur jacket all provide the perfect uniform for watching underground gigs in poky Camden bars.
Kate Moss Topshop collection launches in British stores tomorrow and will be available online at topshop.com from 6am. Prices range from ?18 for a vest to ?130 for a premium dress.

Commercial: The signature style of skinny jeans, slouchy knits and faux fur coats and prices that start at ?18 will appeal to the Moss-alikes.

Kate Moss sexiest photoshoot ever

She is notoriously reluctant to be interviewed, but Kate Moss has finally broken her silence – to launch a stinging attack on men.
Her scathing remarks on the opposite sex accompany one of the Croydon-born beauty’s sexiest photoshoots ever.
The supermodel poses in a series of striking black and white photos, including one risqué shot which features Moss wearing nothing expect a pair of elbow-high gloves, for U.S. magazine Interview.

Laid back: Kate Moss strikes a relaxed pose in a high-leg leotard and bizarre metal belt for the Interview magazine shoot
In one shot, a laid back Moss leans against the wall in a high-legged leotard, with her tiny waist ‘crowned’ by a unusual-looking belt made of metal wires.
For the feature, the 34-year-old covers up her long blonde hair with a short platinum blonde wig, harking back to the 1980s haircut of Blondie star Deborah Harry.

The supermodel, who is dating Kills frontman boyfriend Jamie Hince, reveals in the interview that she doesn’t think terribly highly of the opposite sex.
‘Absolute b******s. Men are not to be trusted,’ she said.
She also boasts of her sexual abilities, admitting she has more experience with men in her thirties: ‘I’m a lot better in the sack now.’.

She also reveals her daughter, Lila, is a fashion freak and much-more strong willed than she was as a child.
The model also chose the interview as an excuse to pour water on rumours that she doesn’t eat and is too skinny.
She said: ‘I didn’t eat for a long time. Not on purpose. You’d be on shoots with bad food or get on a plane and the food would be so disgusting you wouldn’t eat it.’.

‘I never liked being that skinny. I was never anorexic, so I was never that skinny.’
Her comments, which also appear in this week’s Grazia magazine, come as she was snapped enjoying a romantic night out with Hince.
Moss was pictured leaving pop star George Michael’s house following the final leg of his two-year worldwide tour to mark the end of his live career.

As well as Moss and Hince, other guests in attendance were Matt Lucas and a mystery male companion.
And despite giving the rare interview, Moss proved she is still keen to avoid the paparazzi glare as she tried to shield herself from cameras by covering herself with a jacket.

Moss was styled by Karl Templer for the Interview shoot. The magazine is currently on sale in U.S. newsstands.

A bustier Billie Piper performs a racy striptease

A bustier Billie Piper performs a racy striptease in the back seat of a limousine as she reprises her role for hit ITV2 drama The Secret Diary of A Call Girl 2.
Clearly she hasn’t let her first pregnancy hold her back, as the actress tantalises viewers by losing her top and peeling off her jeans in a promotional advert for the new show.
Billie leaves little to the imagination as she wriggles out of the clothes, and replaces them with just a trenchcoat and a pair of high heels.

Gone: And the actress is just left in her black underwear
Dr Who star Billie, 25 – high-class hooker Belle in the show – is left in revealing black underwear as she provocatively coats her lips with gloss in the saucy scene.
Billie is seen striding down the street before hopping into a parked limousine where she begins to ready herself for an evening’s work as alter-ego Belle.
The actress’ swelling bosom somewhat gives the game away, but all other signs of her pregnancy are concealed.
The series returns next month.

Belle’s back: Billie is reprising her role in the hit series, and has carried on filming even throughout her first pregnancy.

The actress is married to actor Laurence Fox, and their child is due at New Year
Meanwhile Billie said she is suffering cravings for Greek food during her first pregnancy.
And actor husband Laurence Fox’s culinary skills are helping satisfy her hunger pangs.
‘Billie is always hungry, so Laurence is cooking non-stop,’ a source said.
‘He’s doing moussakas, Greek salads and meze.’
The couple are ‘over the moon’ about their baby, due at New Year, around the time of their first wedding anniversary.

new 1940s-style underwear range

Queen of burlesque Dita Von Teese undoubtedly made her name taking her clothes off.
And now, as she launches a stunning collection of retro underwear for Wonderbra, it may be more tempting for other women.
Von Teese said the Wonderbra range was inspired by the glamour of the 1940s and 50s.
“I love it when you can go about your daily business with the knowledge that you have a little secret of your own on underneath,” she said.

“Lingerie shouldn’t be something you just put on for your lover; you should do it for you.
“It’s not about seducing men, it’s about embracing womanhood.”
One bra-bottom combo features a magnetic clip, “making daring stripteases a cinch”, according to Wonderbra.
The limited edition lingerie collection goes on sale on September 23.
Von Teese, whose retro chic brings to mind old school glamour of stars such as Ava Gardner and Betty Grable, firmly refuses to be careless about her appearance.
“I know the picture the paparazzi want is me coming out of Starbucks in jeans with my hair all messy, but that’s just not going to happen,” she laughs.
“I just think that when you take a minute to look your best, you get what you want. And,” she adds, “I pretty much get what I want.”.

Dita’s elaborate routines have featured her riding crystal horses or dancing with strategically placed pink feathers.
She’s entertained the likes of Jade Jagger and the Marquess of Bath’s son Ceawlin, modelled for Jean Paul Gaultier and Marc Jacobs.
And her famous act gyrating inside a giant martini glass caused such a stir it was emulated by Cameron Diaz in Charlie’s Angels.
Though her body clearly helped her make her fortune, it was her head for business that transformed her from underground star to worldwide phenomenon.
Burlesque had all but disappeared until Dita’s skill updated the style for the modern audience.
Let’s see if her business brain achieves the same success on the underwear world.

Georgia May Jagger stepped out in a bikini

Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall’s daughter Georgia is clearly a chip off both the old blocks.
The model in training has inherited her father’s famous lips and her model mother’s stunning figure as she stepped out in a bikini while holidaying in France.
Georgia, 16, is on holiday in the French resort of Le Lavandrou with her boyfriend Thomas.

The schoolgirl is already signed to model agency Independent and is one of the faces of trendy Japanese clothes brand Uniqlo, and also graces the pages of UK fashion magazines.
Meanwhile, mother Jerry, who put up with Mick’s womanising for 20 years, recently insisted she would never want her daughters to date a man like their father.
The pair, who have four children together, were one of the most celebrated couples of the Eighties but the Rolling Stones frontman’s roving eye was almost as legendary as his musical talent.
She revealed she would ‘never’ want daughters Elizabeth, 21, and Georgia to be in a relationship like the one she had with Jagger.

Not like Mick: The 16-year-old is holidaying with her boyfriend Thomas, and mother Jerry has said she never wants her to date a man like her father
She said: ‘No, never. But I don’t think they would. They have far more confidence than I did, and they have great boundaries. It took me longer to learn those.’
Hall conceded she had put up with the star’s behaviour for too long.
She said: ‘I always thought he would change, and that was my big mistake. People don’t change, unless they really want to, and you can’t make them. I probably stayed with him for longer than I should have done.
‘All I can say is that I really loved him, and he really loved me, in spite of all the other women.’
The couple wed in 1990 in Bali more than ten years into their relationship, but the marriage ended in 1999 after it emerged Jagger had fathered a child with Brazilian model Luciana Morad.

Singer Javine Hylton shows off her post baby

Javine Hylton looks half the woman she was after shedding three-and-a-half stone since the birth of her daughter Angel Mai Hylton Harvey.
The singer, 26, who gave birth in February, has gone from 14 stone to 10.5 stone, thanks to a combination of diet and exercise.
She told Closer magazine: “I feel much more confident posing naked this time. I feel proud of myself, even though I’m not in as good a shape as I’d like. My body has changed and my boobs are a bit bigger – although they’ve headed south!”.

What a difference four months makes: Javine shows off her new figure
“Having Angel has totally changed me,” says Javine.
“Before, if I woke up with a cloud over my head, I’d let it last. Now I have a beautiful baby, how can I not smile? And if you smile, it makes them smile. I feel so much more laid back.”
The singer admits that the first few weeks of motherhood were a struggle. “I kept bursting into tears and I even asked my mum if she thought I had post-natal depression. But it was just the shock of having a baby.
“It didn’t help that I got mastitis [inflammation] in both boobs, which was agony. I had to take antibiotics, which gave Angel thrush in her mouth, so I stopped breastfeeding.
“At that point, I could hardly look in the mirror,” she admits.
“I’d always thought of myself as a fit, athletic person, but I’d spread everywhere! My bum was enormous – it came round on all sides and stuck out behind me!.

“I’d put on four stone while pregnant – going up to 14 stone – and although I’d lost some of the weight, my pre-pregnancy jeans wouldn’t fit. I’d cover up in Harvey’s [her partner] biggest T-shirts and tracksuit bottoms.”
Six weeks after giving birth, Javine met personal trainer Tim Hayes.
Tim developed a diet and fitness plan for the new mum, who then weighed 12.5 stone.
He put her on a strict, five-times-a-week regime of aerobic and core-strength exercises.
“Tim really pushed me, which is what I needed,” says Javine.
“He also put me on a healthy diet. I used to have toast and Marmite for breakfast, pasta for lunch and then fish and potatoes in the evening. I was also addicted to crisps. I used my pregnancy to eat as much as I liked – that’s why I went from ten stone to 14 stone!”
These days, Javine’s typical menu is porridge with a banana for breakfast, brown rice and veg for lunch, prawn stir-fry for dinner and healthy snacks like sugar snap peas or Brazil nuts.
After 14 weeks on the regime, Javine has lost another two stone. She is now 10.5 stone and a healthy size 12.
However, she says: “I want to get down to my pre-pregnancy weight of ten stone, and shift my wobbly tum. I’ve just started having a salon treatment called Hypoxi. It’s a targeted fat-burning programme that helps tone up the area. I’m seeing results already.
“Harvey didn’t think I could lose all the weight, but he didn’t realise how strong I am. If I decide to do something I can usually pull it off!” says Javine, who’s also been recording a new album since the birth.
“It’s been really hard work. There have been times when Harvey and his friends have come in with a big bucket of KFC and I sit there with my brown rice and steamed veggies – but I’ve got used to it.”
Harvey and Javine are now planning a holiday in Ibiza, and she says she can’t wait.
“I’m not quite ready for a bikini. I might try an all-in-one costume with cutaway bits though,” she grins.
