Jemima Khan goes commando

Despite her attempt to look demure, Jemima Khan still managed to turn heads on a night out recently.
The 34-year-old socialite’s outfit may have been lady-like, but her modesty ended there – as she was pictured stepping out of her car – without any underwear on.
Khan, wearing a knee-length black pencil skirt and grey ruffled top, was apparently unaware of her faux-pas as she made her way smiling to a pre-Bafta party, held at Cecconi’s restaurant last Friday.

However, it appears it was not a once-off – she was again seen without briefs two days later after emerging from a party at London’s Mark’s Club.
Although she appeared solo on both nights, rumours have been circulating that she is back together with actor Hugh Grant, who was also at the event.
The pair met discreetly last week in Paris, the capital of romance, where they were both staying on business.
Miss Khan was filming a campaign for perfume house Azzaro while Grant was meeting with directors.
A friend of the couple said Grant, 47, who has seemingly been enjoying his bachelor lifestyle and was recently photographed drunkenly kissing a group of students, is desperate to win Jemima back.
“Hugh’s said that he really messed up with Jemima.
“He has spent months regretting their break-up. At the time he didn’t want stability and marriage but now he is sure that is what he wants, and he wants it with Jemima.”
“Jemima has been having fun but she never really got over the split with Hugh,” says the friend.
“She wants to marry and settle down.”

Anton and Kate share a tender moment outside the North Star pub

They insist that they enjoy a purely working relationship.
In which case, Kate Garraway and Anton du Beke are extremely close colleagues.
The pair who were partners in the last series of Strictly Come Dancing have been photographed in a lingering embrace outside a pub.

Emerging from the pub, Kate looks left, and right, apparently to see if the coast is clear.

Du Beke comes out and the couple start to walk towards his car.

Anton and Kate share a tender moment outside the North Star pub in Islington last Thursday evening, but Kate insists the two are just good friends
The 39-year-old GMTV presenter is also said to have enjoyed a series of lunches with du Beke and become a regular late-afternoon visitor to his London bachelor pad.

As her spokesman insisted yesterday that suggestions of a relationship were wide of the mark, Miss Garraway, 39, emerged from her North London home with what appeared to be a forced smile.
She and her husband, former Labour spin doctor Derek Draper, drove away in their Mercedes with their 23-month-old daughter Darcey, paying no heed to the fact that one of the tyres on the car was totally flat.
In pictures taken last week, 41-year-old du Beke was seen breaking into a huge grin after sharing a clinch with Miss Garraway outside a pub near her home, where she had been hosting a fundraising event for Great Ormond Street children’s hospital.
Her husband had left 90 minutes earlier.
During their time on the TV dance floor, viewers had noted how the pair warmed to each other and du Beke declared: “Kate and I have been practising so hard. Sometimes I grab her a*** to put her in the mood or fondle her a little bit to get her ready to perform.”
At the end of last month, a witness who saw the pair leaving du Beke’s flat near Tower Bridge said: “They held hands. At one point, his hand was on the small of her back and he gave her an affectionate squeeze on the bottom.”.

All smiles: Kate with husband Derek Draper and their daughter yesterday
The dancer himself split with his girlfriend Caroline Feraday, another TV presenter, last year.
It is not the first time he has appeared close to a Strictly contestant – in the first series he was affectionate towards opera singer Lesley Garrett.
Du Beke – born Anthony Paul Beke – has been much in demand for joint television commitments with Miss Garraway.
They travelled to Devon to film GMTV’s Inch-Loss Island, where three overweight women are put on a vigorous exercise and diet regime.

The pair are currently working on a BBC show to celebrate Bruce Forsyth’s 80th birthday, which requires rehearsing for seven to eight hours at a time, once or twice a week.
“This explains why they are spending so much time together,” said a source.
“Kate and Anton are not having a sexual relationship. Kate and Derek are very happy together.
“As a married couple, they have spoken openly about their rows and they do have a fiery relationship, but they are in love.”
A spokesman for the couple said the “suggestion” of an affair in the Sunday Mirror was “utterly false” and they had instructed solicitors to begin libel proceedings.

Britney Spears’ chaotic lifestyle

Wearing torn fishnet tights and exposing her underwear, it seems a spell in a psychiatric hospital has done little to change Britney Spears’ chaotic lifestyle – or her dress sense.
The troubled star, who checked herself out of the UCLA Medical Centre earlier this week, was spotted taking a cigarette break at the Millennium dance studio in Hollywood.
Looking bedraggled, the bra-less 26-year-old skipped out of rehearsals to smoke and adjust her torn fishnets in full view of waiting photographers.

Holes ahoy: The star sports ripped fishnets outside the Millenium dance studios, yesterday.

Scruffy: Britney adjusts herself during a cigarette break
The former pop princess is currently under the watchful eye of her father Jamie, who has taken charge of his daughter’s estimated £20 million estate and personal affairs since she was committed to hospital over a week ago.
Both he and Miss Spears’ mother Lynne, are said to be upset their daughter was released from hospital 11 days early after her lawyers overruled doctors’ advice.
In a joint statement the pair said: “We are deeply concerned about our daughter’s safety and vulnerability and we believe her life is presently at risk.”
Both parents, who are divorced, strongly disapprove of her relationship with Birmingham-born photographer Adnan Ghalib.

Back to normal: Britney adopts the same scruffy look she was sporting before she went into hospital
Miss Spear’s recent hospital stay is the latest incident in a series of public meltdowns for the star.
Five weeks ago the Toxic star was stretched into an ambulance after refusing to hand over her children to ex-husband Kevin Federline following a three-hour stand-off with police.
The incident resulted in a hospital stay – and the loss of custody of sons Sean Preston, two, and Jayden James, one.
Then on 28 January her family, with the agreement of record company executives, called in police and an ambulance to re-admit the singer for psychiatric evaluation.
The decision followed numerous displays of erratic and bizarre behaviour by the star which included crying barefoot outside her home.
A restraining order against her former manager Sam Lufti is also in place, alleging that he drugged the star and took over her finances.
Lynne Spears made the declaration in court alleging that Lufti drugged her daughter and cut her phone wires in order to manipulate her.
Britney is said to be desperate to regain control of her estate and finances and is seeking to have a court order granting her father conservatorship overturned. She is battling to regain custody of her sons.

Jennifer Lopez shows off her HUGE baby bump

Hollywood diva Jennifer Lopez was in full bloom as she walked the red carpet at a UNICEF charity benefit hosted by Madonna at the United Nations headquarters in New York last night.
The singer, who is expecting twins, arrived with her husband Marc Antony in tow, and joined a star-studded crowd inside which included Gwyneth Paltrow, Gwen Stefani, Demi Moore, as well as Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes.

Oh baby, baby! Jennifer Lopez kept a close eye on her bump as she arrived at a New York charity bash last night
Earlier, she told People magazine: “I’m feeling good,” but admitted, “I haven’t gone out a lot for the past few months.”
She added “Right now the best thing I can do for myself, for my body is to keep resting which is not easy for me. I like keeping busy and it is very hard because if they say ‘be off your feet for four hours a day’, I’m like ‘oh, God!’ It’s hard.”
It comes just days after her farther David Lopez confirmed wide-spread reports J-Lo is expecting twins.

Mother load: Jennifer is due to deliver her twins any day now
He revealed in an interview on Spanish TV: “Yes, twins. The thing is in my family, my sister also had twins, so it’s a hereditary thing.”
And when asked how he felt about the big news, the grandpa-to-be expressed his happiness for his famous daughter.

Double trouble: Jennifer’s father has confirmed the star is expecting twins.

Centre of attention: heavily pregnant J-Lo, with husband Marc Antony by her side, attracted the attention of friends Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise
He added: “I’m very proud. Jennifer has yearned to be a mother for many years.”
With the 38-year-old singer’s due date getting closer and closer, her dad says he already has gifts ready for the babies.
He explained: “In Puerto Rico it’s custom to buy an azabache [black stone] bracelet for babies to protect them from the evil eye, it’s part of our culture.”
However, Mr Lopez did not reveal was the sex of the babies – although friends of the star and her husband Marc were recently seen taking presents of both blue and pink to a baby shower.

Sarah Harding and Gemma Atkinson today unveiled their latest lingerie campaign

Sarah Harding and Gemma Atkinson today unveiled their latest lingerie campaign just in time for Valentine’s Day.
The Girls Aloud singer, 26, and I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! reality star, 23, flash their figures in a series of underwear poses in the latest campaign for Ultimo.
A week before February 14th, Ultimo’s latest collection features Gemma and Sarah dressed in a series of bra and knicker combinations.

Blushing belle: Sarah Harding sizzles in her hot pink lingerie in the new Ultimo ads
Scottish firm Ultimo flew their celebrity models to the warmer climes of Miami, Florida for the photo shoot last month to make sure they didn’t get too chilly in their briefs.
Ex-Hollyoaks actress Gemma, who is planning to launch a pop career following her appearance on Soapstar Superstar, was unveiled as the face of Ultimo’s D-G range in November.
Gemma wowed viewers of I’m A Celebrity two months ago with her svelte size 4 figure and her surgically-enhanced 34E breasts in a series of skimpy bikinis.

Sizzling: Gemma Atkinson shows off the tan she acquired in the jungle in I’m A Celebrity.

Yin and yang: Sarah Harding shows off her toned stomach
Sarah piped her Girls Aloud bandmates to become an Ultimo spokesmodel in 2006 and models their A-C line. The latest Spring/Summer 2008 shots mark her last campaign as an ‘Ultimo Angel’.
The pop star admits she spent time in gym getting in top shape for the new ad: “I am not a supermodel like all the other previous Ultimo models so I worked really hard to look the best I possibly could.”
Ultimo creator Michelle Mone said: “Sarah has been great to work with. When Sarah was signed as The Face and Body of Ultimo in 2006, she was not a professional model like her predecessors, however, the more Ultimo photoshoots she experienced, the more confident she became.

Busty beauty: Gemma Atkinson is the face of Ultimo’s D-F range
“It has been a pleasure to work with Sarah and I wish her all the best for the future. Sarah’s successor will be named soon.”
Gemma and Sarah follow in the footsteps of previous Ultimo models Rachel Hunter, Penny Lancaster and Helena Christensen.
The latest Ultimo collection is available from Debenhams stores nationwide.

Alex holidays in Dubai

Just one day after Coleen McLoughlin stepped out in a skimpy bikini, fellow WAG Alex Curran proved she was not to be outdone.
The 25-year-old – whose husband Steven Gerrard is preparing to captain England at Wembley tonight – was spotted lounging by the pool of her luxury hotel in a skimpy blue and white bikini in Dubai today.

Sun lover: Alex Curran was spotted working on her tan in Dubai today.

Wayne Rooney’s fiancée is also enjoying a sun holiday – she arrived in Barbados earlier this week for a girls only getaway.
Alex is said to be staying at an exclusive £2000-a-night villa – complete with personal butler – with two fellow WAGs, a pregnant Jude Cisse, wife of ex-Liverpool star Djibril and Thierry Henry’s estranged wife Claire.

Earning her stripes: the WAG steps out in her skimpy blue and white bikini
It’s the latest luxurious treat for the 25-year-old Alex – earlier this month she was seen driving her £100,000 Mercedes C class AMG, a Christmas present from her Gerrard while totting a £1,500 Zagliani python-skin handbag.
All distractions, perhaps, from the trauma she experienced in December as four masked raiders broke into her £3million mansion while her two young daughters slept upstairs.

Making a splash: as Alex holidays in Dubai, her husband is preparing to captain England tonight.

Bonding: Alex having fun in the pool with Claire Henry
She was confronted by the intruders after they hammered down a back door at her home.
She said: “It was absolutely terrifying, a horrendous experience.”
The robbers escaped with jewellery worth thousands of pounds. It was the sixth raid in 18 months on the home of a Liverpool player.
Gerrard has since employed a security team at the family’s home.

Scorching: Colleen, looking toned and sexy, warms up again after taking a dip.

Mischa Barton’s secret romance Revealed

Mischa Barton is in a secret romance with the young director of her latest film.
Mail Online has leared that the British-born Hollywood actress has been very quietly dating Brett Simon, the director of her new movie, “The Assassination of a High School President,” which debuted at the Sundance Festival on 21 January.
The film, a spoof of social strata in an uptight catholic high school, co-stars Bruce Willis and his actress daughter with Demi Moore, Rumer.

Romance: Micsha with Brett Simon (centre) in a promotional shot for her upcoming film
The project didn’t win much praise from the notoriously fickle audiences at the prestigious festival, but according to a source Mischa and her director couldn’t have cared less.
“This is a major love affair,” the source says, adding that Mischa and Brett’s relationship has showed no signs of slowing down since the film wrapped.
Previously, Mischa dated her ‘The O.C.’ co-star Benjamin MacKenzie, and for several years, partying oil heir Brandon Davis.
But it was director Brett who has ultimately won her heart.
The source says: “They became very close right from the start of shooting last summer, and Mischa was pretty insecure about carrying the movie.
“Brett was the one who helped her get over that by spending hours alone with her helping her develop her character and refine her performance. That’s how they got together.”
Previously, Brett was best known for a series of short films he directed before his ‘Assassination’ project caught the eye of Hollywood producers.
He also directed the Killers’ video for their monster hit “Somebody Told Me.”
The source says that video was enough to convince Mischa to sign onto the film.
Even as Brett worked in Los Angeles on the film’s final cut last month, he took time away from the editing bay to help Mischa recover from her embarrassing drunk-driving arrest in West Hollywood.
“Brett was the first person she called,” the source says of Mischa’s arrest.
The couple have been quietly spending nearly every night together for the last several months, the source adds.
And “they didn’t spend a night apart” at the festival, the source confides, even though many involved with the movie remain unaware about the true nature of the director and his star’s relationship.
The source says: “This is the most serious Mischa’s ever been about a guy and he’s the most mature man she’s ever dated. They’re in love and no matter what happens with the movie, this is going to stay serious.”

Gentlemen prefer blondes

Gentlemen prefer blondes – just ask Paris Hilton.
The heiress arrived on the red carpet for the LA premiere of her new film The Hottie And The Nottie yesterday wearing a shocking pink figure-hugging dress – just the gown made famous by her hero Marilyn Monroe.

Thinking pink: For the LA premiere of her new film, Paris Hilton wore a gown inspired by Marilyn Monroe’s iconic outfit from the 1953 movie Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
Paris has long held an affinity with 50s sex symbol, saying back in 2006: “There’s nobody in the world like me. I think every decade has an iconic blonde – like Marilyn Monroe or Princess Diana – and right now, I’m that icon.”
The 26-year-old was joined at the event by her parents Rick and Kathy Hilton, along with the her co-star Christine Lakin and Entourage star Adrian Grenier.

Kisses: The heiress greets her fans as she sashays along the red carpet
In the upcoming film, “hottie” Paris vows to abstain from men until her “nottie” best friend finds a boyfriend.
But she insists she does have the occasional off day. She told Parade magazine: “I think we’re humans. All girls feel like a ‘nottie’ some days – like someone who isn’t turning heads.

Dynamic duo: Paris with her co-star Christine Lakin
“That’s just part of life. I just get a facial or a massage. Pampering yourself gets you back into ‘hottie’-ness.”
For her next acting role, the star – who was reportedly kissing 24 actress Elisha Cuthbert at a New York club last week – plans to make a guest appearance in The L Word, the series about lesbians.
She says: “It’s true. I have no idea what kind of character I’ll be playing, but it’s a good show.”

Amy Winehouse emerges from rehab

Amy Winehouse appears to be on the mend as she left rehab today looking noticeably healthier.
Although she has spent the past 10 days dealing with her demons, the troubled singer looked decidedly refreshed as she was pictured leaving the London clinic with her father and lawyer.
Dressed in a white skirt and black polka-dot vest, Winehouse appears to have put on weight and looks a far cry from the pale and washed-out figure she presented just a few weeks ago.

Gently does it: Winehouse makes her way around the rehab grounds today, before heading to the UK embassy to update her visa
A spokesperson for the singer confirmed Winehouse on her way to renew her American visa.
The spokesperson told Mail Online: “Amy’s doing brilliantly. Everyone has been really happy with her progress in the past week.”
The good news comes ahead of the Grammys, due to take place in LA on February 10th, where she has been nominated for six awards including album of the year.

Looking up: The singer’s family are delighted at the progress she is making in rehab
Yesterday, her father was with Winehouse’s manager who brought the Back to Black star Nandos and diet coke.
At the treatment centre in Marylebone, the singer has been trying to kick her well-documented drug habit.

On the mend: Amy at the rehab facility in London yesterday looking better than she has in recent months. She is pictured on her way to a gym at the facility
After watching their daughter and friend decline in recent months, Mitch and Kelly Osborne took Amy from her East London home to get some help.
The 24-year-old’s substance abuse problems reached crisis point after she was caught on video two weeks ago smoking what appeared to be a crack-pipe.
As she decided to go to rehab, her management released a statement saying: “Amy decided to enter the facility today after talks with her record label, management, family and doctors,” Universal Music Group said in a statement.
“She has come to understand that she requires specialist treatment to continue her ongoing recovery from drug addiction,” the statement said.
When she first checked in, the singer brought two suitcases and two large holdalls, suggesting that she might be staying at the centre for quite some time.
