Lindsay Lohan appears on the cover of edgy style magazine Paper

A week after posing in a nude photo spread as Marilyn Monroe, Hollywood starlet Lindsay Lohan remains in seductress mode.
The actress, sporting blonde locks and a slender frame, stars in a sultry new shoot for edgy style magazine Paper, where she defends her hard-partying, law-infringing, rehab-hopping past, declaring: “I am what I am.”
The 21-year-old puts her troubled year down to her family woes – and the bright lights of Hollywood.

She told the publication: “I had a lot going on in my life and that was a way of hiding from it.
“I hadn’t seen my dad; I had a lot of work stress ’cause I was constantly working and never took time to stop.”
“Everything was go-go-go, and the easiest thing was to run away from it, going out and drinking at night.”.

Step ahead: Lindsay says she’s now focused on getting her flailing career back on track
She adds, “But I didn’t realize it was getting in the way of my work – what I’ve worked for my whole life.”
But her multiple stints in rehab has changed all of that, she insists.
“There’s not really much else to do when you’re sitting in a treatment center. It’s like, ‘Why am I here? Let’s think.’ “.

Now, after a series of unsuccessful big screen releases including Georgia Rule and I Know Who Killed Me, she’s focused on getting her career back on track.
She says: “Right now I just want to find a great script, a great role.”
“I was so used to working and working and working, and for a good few months there was nothing for me to do. Now I know what it’s like to be an out-of-work actor, and how much it scares me.”.

Lindsay Lohan hones her Daisy Duke-look

Her acting career has received a critical mauling recently, so it comes as no surprise Lindsay Lohan is concentrating on her dress sense instead.
The troubled actress’s latest look of cut-off denim shorts appears to be inspired by seventies sex symbol Daisy Duke.
Leaving little to the imagination with her clinging black top, waistcoat, and massive Jackie O sunglasses, Lohan was out-and-about in West Hollywood yesterday.

Catherine Bach played the sexy short-shorts-wearing cousin Daisy in the popular U.S. TV show, The Dukes of Hazzard, while Jessica Simpson took up the role for 2005’s big screen incarnation.
It’s been a bad start to the year for Lohan, who spent most of 2007 in rehab being treated for substance abuse.
While her contemporaries Keira Knightley and Scarlett Johansson have been nominated for an Oscar and won a Bafta respectively, Lohan’s latest film was awarded a staggering EIGHT Golden Raspberry Awards.

I Know Who Killed Me, shot around Lohan’s first of three stints in rehab last year, was named Worst Film of the year, last week.
She picked up two wins as Worst Actress for playing two characters who may or may not have been twins.
Her dual roles also got Razzied for a scene in which the two characters appear together, as Worst Screen Couple.

The film was also named Worst Remake or Rip-off, for paying dubious homage to Hostel, Saw and The Patty Duke Show.
Her campy horror film, I Know Who Killed Me, which has never been released here, surpassed the record seven wins previously held by Battleship Earth and Showgirls.

Carey’s new album

Singer Mariah Carey shows off her new toned body in her latest music video which sees her cavorting about semi-clothed in a nerd’s fantasy.
The video for the aptly named single Touch My Body was shot by X-Men director Brett Ratner.
“Mariah looks better than she has ever looked. It’s ridiculous,” Ratner said.

The geek in the video is played by 30 Rock actor Jack McBreyer, whose character fantasizes about a date with Carey.
“Without making fools of ourselves, we really took this all the way.

“I never had so much fun shooting a video.”
Touch My Body is the first single from Carey’s new album E=MC2.

Battle of the red carpet baby bumps

It is difficult enough to get a plus-one ticket to the most prestigious showbusiness awards ceremony of the year.
But three of Hollywood’s biggest stars managed to sneak in an extra guest or two.
Cate Blanchett and Nicole Kidman were both carrying little stowaways at the biggest event on the movie calendar last night.

Miss Blanchett won the baby bump stakes on the red carpet. The best actress nominee, who is expecting her third child in April, wore a brilliant aqua marine gown created for her by Dres Van Noten.
Miss Kidman, 40, who is almost four months pregnant with her first baby, also dazzled in her custom Balenciaga gown and Bottega Veneta clutch, and a glittering diamond necklace designed by L’Wren Scott.

Proud mother-to-be: Nicole Kidman dazzled on last night’s Oscars red carpet in her custom Balenciaga gown and a 1,399-carat diamond necklace designed by L’Wren Scott
The sparkling necklace included a total of 7645 rough, faceted and polished diamonds totalling 1,399 carats.
A spokesman for designer L’Wren Scott yesterday confirmed that Nicole Kidman’s stunning diamond necklace had been custom made for the actress but would not comment on how much the piece was worth.
However, an expert from Hatton Garden – London’s jewellery quarter – said that the necklace would have a retail value of around £3million pounds.
Actress Jessica Alba, who is pregnant with her first child, wore a strapless empire line Markesa dress with Cartier jewellery.

So proud: Nicole’s husband Keith Urban accompanied her to last night’s event and kept a protective arm around her
Two nights earlier, Angelina Jolie had shown her bump for the first time on Friday evening at the Independent Spirit Awards.
She beamed as her partner Brad Pitt, 43, wrapped an arm around her waist. “I do not want people bumping into me so Brad is my protector,” she joked.
The couple have yet to confirm the pregnancy, which will be her second, but speculation is rife that the 32-year-old is expecting twins. Judging by the size of her bump at this early stage, the rumours could be well founded.

Baby bumps weren’t the only stunning accessories on the red carpet. Actress Rosamund Pike sparkled in diamond jewellery created by H Stern.
The star of screen and stage led the beauty stakes for Britain on the Oscar red carpet last night wearing a stunning canary yellow off the shoulder dress designed by Roland Lauret.
The London-based actress was with fiance the director Joe Wright who made the film Atonement which was up for seven academy awards including best picture.

Rosamund said that she and Joe started their morning with a French toast for breakfast and a three-hour drive to get the ceremony at the Kodak theatre in time because of heavy traffic.
Actor James McAvoy, leading man in Atonement, arrived at the ceremony with wife British actress Ann-Marie Duff wearing a blue gown created by Mosquino and matching saphire and diamond earrrings and ring.
The 28 year-old British actor said it was “incredible” to be at the Oscars.
He added: “What a great night for really intelligent film-making.”
He said Americans found Atonement “depressing and humorous” while most Britons laughed less at the film.
Best actor winner Daniel Day-Lewis arrived with his wife Rebecca. Day-Lewis said he was feeling “like a British rail sandwich, a little curled up at the edges.”
He added: “It’s been a great ride but you do set yourself up for unknown surprises at the Oscars.”

secrets of Keira Knightley seemingly versatile cleavage

She’s famously flat-chested – but just as well known as a buxom pirate girl – and now Keira Knightley has revealed the secrets of her seemingly versatile cleavage.
Miss Knightley, who has described her naturally small breasts as ‘pecs’, has confessed that her busty transformation is all down to make-up.
The slightly built 22-year-old Atonement actress shot to worldwide fame in the blockbuster Pirates Of The Caribbean – with breasts spilling over the tight corset she wore in the role of Elizabeth Swann.

But it was all an illusion, made possible by the film-studio art of “bosom make-up”. It is a skill from Hollywood’s golden age that fell out of favour with the advent of silicone enhancement.
Miss Knightley said: “They painted my t**s on me for the films, which is extraordinary because it’s kind of a dying art form – in the past, they used to have whole sections of the studios devoted to bosom make-up.
“And I loved it, completely loved it. Because it was the first time in my life I had big t**s, and I didn’t even need surgery.’
She said the process of creating the cleavage took 45 minutes every morning before filming started.

A make-up artist would apply a slightly darker shade of base make-up between Miss Knightley’s own breasts to create a shadow to increase the ‘cleavage effect’.
The actress’s assets were digitally enhanced in movie posters for her 2004 film King Arthur. In British versions she appeared in her natural state, but in posters for the US they had grown to a C-cup size, causing much debate among cinema-goers.
Miss Knightley said she was anxious not to be typecast in her Pirates role and took the risk of appearing in the 2005 film Domino as a model turned bounty-hunter.
In an interview in Easy Living magazine the actress, who is dating actor Rupert Friend, tells how she solved the dilemma of nudity required in Domino after being told by director Tony Scott that the role called for her naked bottom to be displayed on screen during a sex scene.
“I said, ‘You can have my t**s, but you can’t have my a**.’ And he was going, ‘I just want the a**; I don’t want the t**s.’
“Then one day Tony called me in to his office and there were three very beautiful women standing there completely naked, and I couldn’t quite take my eyes off bits of them.
“And he said, ‘Which one do you want, then?'”
The actress was being asked to pick a derrière-double. She said: “I did pick a very beautiful bum.”.

Kate Moss on a recent shoot for YSL

She has been criticised for looking worryingly thin but Kate Moss may yet become a more suitable role model.
The 34-year-old is embarking on a healthy-eating regime apparently in the hope that it will boost her fertility.
“Kate is taking her diet and health seriously,” says an insider.

“She has been taking extra iron supplements and stocking up on spinach and greens.”
The party-loving supermodel is also said to be planning to give up alcohol and coffee.
Kate has been dating The Kills frontman Jamie Hince following her split from Babyshambles rocker Pete Doherty last June and I’m told the couple have already discussed a baby.

“Kate is desperate to have another child,” my source adds.
“She loosely follows the same diet as Gwyneth Paltrow does, which is Dr Nish Joshi’s cleansing diet, but she has tailored it around trying to get pregnant.”

Jennifer Lopez gives birth to twins

Jennifer Lopez and her husband were ecstatic today after she gave birth to healthy twins.
The actress welcomed the babies – a boy and a girl – into the world in the early hours of this morning in a Long Island hospital outside New York.
The girl was born at 12:12 a.m. and weighed 5 lbs. 7 oz. The boy followed at 12:23 a.m., weighing 6lbs.

Mother and children are said to be doing well as she recovers from the birth.
The babies are the first children for 38-year-old Lopez and the fourth for her third husband, actor and singer Marc Anthony, 39, who wed in 2004.
Anthony also has two sons and one daughter from two previous relationships.
“Jennifer and Marc are delighted, thrilled and over the moon,” said Lopez’s manager Simon Fields.
News of the birth follows the disclosure that Lopez and Anthony have sold rights to the first pictures of the twins for a reported $6m, or £3m, to America’s People magazine.
In keeping with Hollywood fashion, the babies are also expected to appear on prime time U.S. television shows after the photos appear in People.
The couple celebrated the impending births with a baby shower in New York on January 19.
“They were just beaming the entire time,” said one partygoer.
Long-time friend, actress Leah Remini described Lopez as “a born mom” and very nurturing.
She said: “With our daughter, she’s so great. I mean, lets her go in her closet and play with her coats or her jewellery. She’s just so giving and loving.”
After months of rumours that she was expecting, Lopez announced her pregnancy on November 8 during a concert tour.
“Marc and I are expecting a baby,” she told the crowd during her performance.
“We didn’t want to say anything before because we didn’t want to take away from the tour, but we’re expecting,” she told the audience at the final concert on her joint tour with Anthony.

Overjoyed: The couple are said to be thrilled with the new additions to their family
The news that his daughter was actually expecting twins was finally confirmed by Lopez’s dad earlier this month in an interview with a Spanish-language television station.
During the early weeks of her pregnancy, Lopez skilfully avoided the question, even when appearing on TV in October with experienced interviewers Diane Sawyer and with David Letterman.
She also shrugged off the secrecy, telling Harper’s Bazaar magazine: “I kind of feel like everybody knew anyway. I was on tour with a bubble gut.”
But she said her choice to try and keep the pregnancy private for as long as possible was important to her.
“I do realise people want to know because they’re interested, but this is the first time I’m going through this,” Lopez told the magazine.
“This is my experience and my husband’s experience, and we get to hold that for a little while.” Being tight lipped has long been Lopez’s style.
When she married Anthony in June 2004, her representatives would neither confirm nor deny the wedding had taken place.
What are not being kept secret are Lopez’s plans now that she’s a mother. The hard-working performer intends to take off time.
She said in a recent interview: “Once I did the tour, I really just wanted to shut it down, and since then I’ve had to do three things, including a video.
“It may not sound like a lot, but you know, as this point, any woman can sympathise. It is a lot. I was ready just to sit.”
Lopez is believed to have given birth at Long Island’s North Shore Medical Centre in a private room she has had reserved for more than two weeks.
The luxury room, which has a wooden floor and is furnished with a brown leather couch and giant TV, had been kept vacant for a fortnight until Lopez went into labour.
Despite hospital denials, it was recently revealed the facility has been put on kidnap alert over fears that someone may try to snatch Lopez’s new-borns.
Staff have been undertaking specialist ‘Code Pink’ drills to ensure they are prepared in case anyone attempts to take the babies.
It has also been revealed that the Lopez’s babies will be moving into £60,000 luxury nurseries.
According to the sources, the Latin pop star has prepared an ocean-themed room along with English furniture and French-made cribs embellished with hand-embroidered bedding for her soon to be arriving twins.
She has also put up 18-karat gilded trim and chandeliers in her nurseries at her Long Island home, as well as her mansions in Bel Air, California, and Florida’s Fisher Island.
The twins will also have matching one piece baby suits by Huddy Buddy, with pink and blue tags reading “I’m part of a set.”
To guard them against the chilly New York winters, they would also be provided with matching pink and blue cashmere sweater and pants sets designed by Baby CZ.

Jordan is turning into a lollipop doll

Katie Price has been a busy woman of late in between promoting her new book, work commitments and motherhood, so the 29-year-old can easily be forgiven for taking some time out to indulge in a little retail therapy.
Looking relaxed, the glamour model known as Jordan hit Wags’ fashion favourite Cricket while in Liverpool dressed in a tight blue tiger striped top, figure-hugging three-quarter trousers and heels.
But despite having a breast reduction operation in LA before Christmas, the tiger stripes did nothing to hide that famous cleavage.

Price, known for her raunchy style of dress, has been trying to cultivate a more natural, classy image and wants to put the bad old days of Jordan behind her.
As well as a breast reduction, Price has dyed her hair dark and has been covering up instead of dressing down, although it’s clear this outfit revealed her wilder side.
Her makeover plan took a turn for the worse last week after she revealed more of her cleavage than intended at a book signing of her autobiography, Pushed To The Limit.
The mum-of-three, married to Peter Andre, suffered a wardrobe malfunction when her sparkly basque did not completely cover her generous cleavage.

Lindsay Lohan’s nude Marilyn Monroe tribute

After the frenzy caused by Lindsay Lohan’s topless tribute to Marilyn Monroe, more sensational pictures have surfaced.
The Mean Girls star, 21, stripped off for New York magazine to pay homage to the screen siren.
Sporting a blonde wig, Lohan was covered only by a sheer printed sheet in a bid to recreate Marilyn’s final photoshoot before her death.

The shoot was done by famed photographer Bert Stern, who also photographed Monroe’s The Last Sitting in 1962 – she was found dead from an apparent drugs overdose just six weeks later.
And 46 years on, Stern and Lohan have recreated the now iconic pictures.
Lohan said she was “comfortable” with the nude shoot, but admitted she had done 250 sit-ups the night before to prepare.

But Lohan’s father has refused to look at the pictures of his topless daughter, expressing fears that the troubled star could be headed for the same fate as Marilyn.
He told America’s Us Weekly: “I’m not going to look at the photos — that’s my daughter!”
“I pray there are no parallels to her and Marilyn Monroe’s destiny.”
Dina Lohan, however, approved of the photoshoot claiming that the shots were done tastefully and supported her daughter’s view that it was the opportunity of a lifetime.

Inspiration: Monroe’s classic pose for ‘The Last Sitting’ in 1962, which inspired Lindsay
She told People: “I looked at it as art, and as Lindsay doing a character. So I don’t look at them like it’s Playboy; she was being a character. So if you look at it that way, you can look at it as a mother.”
“Lindsay was very excited when she first got the phone call,”
“Of course we talked about how they would be done. Lindsay said, ‘Mommy, I’m never going to get this opportunity to do it again.’ She was very thankful she was asked.”
Lohan is no stranger to battling personal demons – last year, the hard-partying star spent time in rehab after being charged with drinking while under the influence, and later served an 84-minute stint in jail as well as community service.

The former Hollyoaks star is the face of Ultimo’s D-G range

Gemma Atkinson has proved once again why she’s one of the nation’s favourite pin-ups.
The model’s skimpy blue bikini barely contained her surgically-enhanced 34E breasts as she lapped up the Spanish sun while on a romantic break with boyfriend Marcus Bent.
Atkinson, 23, spent some time making waves in the sea before enjoying a passionate embrace with the 29-year-old footballer.

The starlet first set pulses racing with her appearance on reality TV show I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in 2007, where her ample physical attributes made an impression.
However the shapely actress lost some of her curves during the fortnight on the show, due to the sparse jungle diet and her rigorous daily exercise regime.

Gemma Atkinson continues her reign as the Queen of the bikini babes
This left the self-confessed “gym-freak” in a panic – especially as it meant a breast decrease.
However judging from these pictures, Atkinson has clearly regained her curves.
The glamour girl, who is the face of Ultimo’s D-G range, has had a turbulent relationship with striker Bent.

Gemma is enjoying a romantic getaway with footballer Marcus Bent
The couple, who are currently building a home together, started dating a couple of years ago after meeting at a party.
He was engaged to Kelly Clark, the mother of his two-year-old daughter, at the time.
After they split up, Atkinson dated Manchester United footballer Cristiano Ronaldo and was linked to Newcastle United player Alan Smith.
But if their fun in the sun is anything to go by, the couple are sizzling hot.
