Cindy Crawford stunning photoshoot for French Vogue

.

In her 20s she was the ultimate bombshell.
Two decades on, Cindy Crawford somehow manages to look even better.
The mother of two has appeared in a stunning photoshoot for the December issue of French Vogue.

At 42 she has clearly lost none of her natural beauty, with flawless skin and lustrous hair.

And the demands of motherhood have, if anything, left her famous supermodel figure even more toned.
Miss Crawford reportedly keeps in shape by hiking and using the Power Plate vibrating gym machine, and she sticks to a high-protein diet.
She has appeared on more magazine covers than any other model in history.

Nicollette Sheridan showed off her toned body

Desperate Housewives star Nicollette Sheridan hit Malibu beach in a tiny black string bikini which revealed a body that would put women half her age in the shade.

Nicollette is back on the prowl again after splitting from singer Michael Bolton following a two year engagement.
The actress and 55-year-old crooner decided to go their separate ways in August, with Bolton saying last month that they ‘remain friends’.
The couple originally dated for five years in the mid 90s, before splitting in 1997.
After the Sussex-born actress ended her engagement to Swedish personal trainer, Nicklas Söderblom in 2005, she resumed her relationship with Bolton.
The couple announced their engagement in March 2006.

Lindsay Lohan and girlfriend Samantha frolic on the beach

She’s been busy mopping floors and serving chips in her latest role.
But actress Lindsay Lohan looked a world away from any hard work as she continued enjoying a romantic break with her girlfriend, DJ Samantha Ronson.
The loved-up couple held hands and splashed about in the waves while on a romantic vacation together in Los Cabos, Mexico.

Lohan, 22, has been dating 30-year-old Sam – sister of music producer Mark Ronson – for several months and rumours are circulating that the pair are engaged.
At one point on their holiday, the couple tried to get hotel staff to use a large beach towel so photographers could not see them.
But they look far from camera shy in these pictures.

Charlize Theron looked happier than ever as hit the beach with boyfriend Stuart Townsend in Malibu.
The 33-year-old, who was sporting a revealing patterned bikini – showed off her body boarding skills as the Irish actor looked on.

Charlize and Stuart have been happily together for seven years and she says that their relationship has changed her for the better.
‘He got through to me on a level that no one else did. Stuart made me softer. He was one of the few guys who wasn’t afraid of me. What he saw was not toughness but vulnerability,’ she told Elle magazine.

Beach fun: Charlize’s dog Tucker joins her in the water.

The star also explained why she has no plans to marry the 35-year-old.
‘I want to know that I wake up every morning with him because I want to, not because a piece of paper says so,’ she said.
Theron won an Oscar in 2003 for her role in Monster but her own life has been packed with drama.
When she was just 15 she witnessed her mother shoot her father dead at the family home in South Africa. Her mother opened fire on her husband in self-defence against his domestic violence.

Stunning model Kelly Brook enjoys the beach

Stunning model Kelly Brook, recently seen enjoying her newly single status in St Tropez, France, has just signed up for TV reality show I’m A Celebrity.
It will be back to work soon – in the Australian rainforest – as the TV presenter faces the endurance test of a lifetime, the Daily Star reports.
Brook, who has just split from 42-year-old fiancé Billy Zane, saying she is ‘too young to marry’ at 28, has been frolicking in the mediterranean resort with a friend.

On my own: Kelly enjoys the beach at St Tropez, free to find new love
The ITV show throws celebs together, as they swap lavish lifestyles for a basic existence in one of the world’s most inhospitable climates.

Bed will be a hammock, and to earn more than the basic rice and water dinner, Brook will have to undergo challenging endurance tests.
And it’s not just the physical workout – Brook’s Australian adventure looks likely to be an emotional rollercoaster too. Past series have seen Jordan and Peter’s romance take shape, and petulant posing from former sex pistol Johnny Rotten.
It remains to be seen how Brook will fare, swapping a luxury lifestyle and a film star fiancé for life in a jungle clearing.
But with scorpions, snakes and poisonous spiders for companions, perhaps the jungle won’t be such a change from Hollywood after all.

Little Britton shows off her bikini

She strides confidently down the beach in her bikini, displaying a trim tummy and toned thighs.
Fern Britton, pictured in Cornwall last week, must be feeling that all the fuss over her figure was worth it.
The TV presenter endured widespread criticism after it emerged that she had gastric band surgery.

She had, after all, neglected to mention it when congratulated on her dramatic weight loss.
Some viewers felt they had been misled, and Miss Britton, 51, missed four editions of This Morning with ‘nervous exhaustion’ at the height of the affair.
But despite the fuss – and rumours that she had her pay frozen over the issue – the operation was an undeniable success.

Summer fun: Fern enjoys the beach in Cornwall
On the beach with her TV chef husband Phil Vickery, she cut a very different figure than she did when photographed in a similar bikini three years ago.
The mother of four even tried some energetic bodysurfing while wearing a wetsuit.
Miss Britton has dropped from a size 22 to a size 16, shedding five stone. She initially said: ‘It’s taken me two years and a lot of hard work.’
But in May she admitted having had the surgery around two years ago, saying that she was very pleased with the results.

Broadcasting chiefs were already at odds with Miss Britton over her planned clothes range.
Since then she has signed a £700,000-a-year deal to stay on at This Morning – the same amount as her previous contract.
It was claimed she had been pushing for a 10 per cent pay rise.

Liz McClarnon shows off her new size

As Atomic Kitten’s curvy blonde bombshell it seemed that Liz McClarnon wasn’t short of confidence.
But her participation in reality show Celebrity Love Island told a different story.
Competitive weigh-ins with fellow stars left the 27-year-old humiliated and self-conscious alongside the rakish frames of fellow islanders Lady Isabella Hervey and Rebecca Loos.

Svelte: Liz McClarnon shows off her new size 8 figure during a holiday in the Med
‘I was uncomfortable the whole time and hunched my shoulders to hide my body.’ Liz told Now magazine. ‘When I got home and saw the pictures, I knew I had to do something.
‘It wasn’t just my weight that bothered me, but my lack of confidence. I didn’t want to be that hunched, shy girl.’.

Now and then: Liz on holiday two weeks ago (left), where her hips were noticeably shrunken compared to a beach stroll in 2005 on Celebrity Love Island in Fiji
And do something she did. Liz turned to her hypnotherapist mum in her bid to quit her junk food habit.
Liz said: ‘Before I tried hypnotherapy I’d eat four bags of crisps a day and lots of chocolate.
‘But soon after my first session my eating habits changed. It was easy to drop the junk food. Within two weeks the weight was falling off’.

The singer, who is preparing for the release of a new single this Christmas, has lost a stone since starting the regime in October, dropping from a dress size 12 to a size 8.
Liz’s newly slender frame is set to be gracing our screens sooner than that however, as she’ll be taking part in Celebrity Masterchef which kicked off this week.

Pop past: Liz McClarnon with her Atomic Kitten bandmates Natasha Hamilton and Jenny Frost last year
The original line-up for Atomic Kitten included Kerry Katona, but she left the group just weeks before they had their first UK number 1 single.
The group was formed in 1997 but only received success in 2000 with their single Whole Again.
Kerry Katona was replaced by band member Jenny Frost and the group continued to have continuous success including the number one hit Eternal Flame that was originally recorded by Eighty’s girl group The Bangles.
The group parted in ways in 2004.

Katie posed aquamarine bikini on Brighton Beach

She’s released children’s books, novels and perfumes as part of her £30million empire but Katie Price was right back where she started yesterday with a racy modelling shoot.
Her alter-ego Jordan was in full swing as she posed in an aquamarine bikini on Brighton Beach before slipping into an army-green two-piece and cowgirl hat.
The 30-year-old returned to work after taking some time off to move into her new £2.5million seven-bedroom home in Surrey, which used to be a retirement home.

Model behaviour: Katie Price in Brighton yesterday
The two-acre estate boasts enough room to land a helicopter as well as stables for her horses, a gym and an indoor swimming pool.
Katie says: ‘We’ve been busy unpacking boxes in our new house, which we all love – especially Harvey, who’s been splashing around in the swimming pool.’
The star, who has two children, Princess Tiáamii, 1, and Junior, 3, with husband Peter Andre and a son Harvey, 6, from a previous relationship, also denied plans she’s trying for baby number four.
She told OK! magazine: ‘I’m really busy with my horse, the move and my career and I just want to enjoy the kids we have at the moment.
‘Just because we’ve got a bigger house doesn’t mean I’m having more kids – baby number four isn’t on the cards quite yet!’.

Australian actress Teresa Palmer enjoying a break with new love

Another day, another girl, as Russell Brand embarks on a brand new holiday romance.
The 33-year-old comic actor and television presenter was seen enjoying a break in Mexico with 22-year-old Australian actress Teresa Palmer.
And in true Russell Brand style, he took to the beach in a pair of shorts that were even briefer than his female date’s.

Holiday romance: Russell Brand is enjoying a break in Mexico with new love, Australian actress Teresa Palmer
Lothario Russsell was spotted looking very serious about his new loved as he waded through the surf with his arm around Teresa.
The 22-year-old actress, previously starred in 2007 film December Boys with Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe, who she shared a steamy love scene with, and horror film The Grudge 2.
She has dated OC actor Adam Brody, and split from her retired Australian Football League player boyfriend Stuart Dew in March 2007.
An onlooker spotted the duo and said: “They looked like any loved-up couple on holiday. If I didn’t know about Russell’s reputation, I’d be sure it was serious.”
And taking the star’s reputation into account – he has dated Kate Moss, and Big Brother contestant Kate Lawler among others, it may not be worth putting any money on it.

Brief encounter: Russell wore a brief pair of tight swimming trunks for a jet ski ride with the 22-year-old
Brand recently signed a £1.8 million two book deal with HarperCollins last week, with the first book due out for Christmas.
He told The Sun: “The new book’s philosophy, yes, but more Clarkson than Kierkegaard.
‘I’ll pontificate on subjects as diverse as West Ham, Morrissey and tea-bagging – all of which are potent ontological metaphors.
‘If I haven’t solved the riddle of existence by chapter two I shall hurl the manuscript onto Nietzsche’s grave and French kiss Bertrand Russell’s corpse.’.
