Because she’s worth it!

She fronts a beauty campaign and is often seen uttering the phrase ‘Because you’re worth it.’   And it seems that on Wednesday Cheryl Cole decided she deserved a pampering and headed to a hair salon in West Hollywood.

The 29-year-old singer emerged from the beauty parlour with beautiful and bouncy tresses and it seems that she was pleased with her do, judging from the smile on her face.

Cheryl had her hair swept across her face in a flick and had pulled if over her left shoulder to leave the salon.  The Geordie singer wore a simply strapless maxi dress and a pair of turquoise sandals.

Cheryl had her hair done ahead of a dinner date with boyfriend Tre Holloway and the couple were later spotted out in Hollywood together.

Their romantic meal comes after reports claim the pair are looking at buying a house together, suggesting they are ready to take their relationship to the next level.

‘They’ve been talking about a proper base there for a few months and contemplated renting but decided it was more sensible to buy

‘They are both ready for that commitment.’

Cheryl is also said to be so smitten with Tre that she is considering starting a family with him, quashing rumours that she had grown bored with her boyfriend of one year.

Kimberley Garner shows off her bikini body!

She’s the willowy blonde who shot to fame on Made In Chelsea.   But away from the bitching and backstabbing of the E4 reality show, Kimberley Garner has been working on a new project – her own range of swimwear.

The 23-year-old star is seen showing off her tanned and toned figure in a variety of her sexy bikinis and one-pieces in a stunning Barbados photoshoot.

From tiny monokinis to even smaller Brazilian style bikinis, Kimberley has been working on the Kimberley London line for the past few months to perfect her designs.   But while she has only been seeing the dream become a reality over the past few weeks, she insists that she has had the ideas for the range since the tender age of nine.   ‘I’ve been working on this range since 1st January but I’ve had the ideas since I was a child and I got told off for sewing sequins onto a bikini while I was in school!’

And Kimberley has certainly pulled out all the stops to ensure that her range is a success – from funding it herself to the fact the designs are made in England, to the fabric imported from Italy and the tiny gold coin and ‘K’ details made in France.   She said of the range: ‘I wanted to make my designs wholesome but also sexy and cheeky, and provide an aspirational image for young girls.’   The reality star has also ensured the swimwear is affordable, with the £65 price tag sitting somewhere between high-street prices and designer.

She said: ‘Melissa Odabash’s bikinis cost around £200 so I wanted to keep the price down on my designs.’   But Kimberley’s comment about pricing comes after Melissa’s recent comment slating the young star for daring to design her own swimwear collection with no experience.

However, Kimberley is fully aware of the hard work that designing swimwear requires, having given up all of her free time over the past five months to dedicate herself to making her new business perfect.   She said: ‘I haven’t seen a weekend for months. This is my baby and I’m doing everything I can to make it a success.’   Kimberley’s designs can be purchased from her website Kimberleylondon.com

Make-up free Adele!

She famously puts lots of effort into her lush red locks for appearances at award shows – but when she’s offstage Adele doesn’t appear to be so well acquainted with a comb and brush.   The scruffy-haired singer was pictured out in West London on Saturday looking as if she had just rolled out of bed.

Perhaps she was making an emergency trip to the shops to collect some much needed products to tame her wild locks.

Although the multi award-winning star had been spending most of her time in her Sussex mansion over the past year, she was spotted back in Notting Hill – where her mother Penny Adkins now lives in the singer’s former home – on Saturday.   Dressed in a black poncho and leggings, the mother-of-one popped into a branch of Whistles clearly on a mercy dash to add to her wardrobe.   Despite being free of make-up and without her trademark beehive, the Oscar-winnning singer failed blended into the homogenous mass of shoppers.

Her shopping excursion comes amidst reports Adele is back in the studio recording a follow-up to her 2011 album 21.   With her first album being named 19 and her current age as 24, perhaps we can assume her third album will be named 24.   Last week, the Mirror claimed Adele was on ‘lockdown’ in the studio and was also planning to record some of the album in Los Angeles.   A source told the paper: ‘Adele is currently in a recording studio in London and it’s in lockdown mode for the next few weeks. Four tracks are finished in terms of writing and she’s now laying down preliminary vocals with backing music and singers. The rest of the record will be done in LA.

‘The feel is very much Adele going back to her roots, with some modern jazz and a couple of classic old songs.’   Adele’s last album 21 sold over 25million copies and won her a string of awards.   However, over the past year she’s been taking a break to focus on her personal life, including meeting boyfriend Simon Konecki last year and the birth of their son Angelo last October.   In an interview last year, she said she was in no rush: ‘They’ll come when they’re ready, and when I’ve got something to sing about.   ”I’m just going to lay some concrete, set up home and just ‘be’ for a bit. There will be no new music until it’s good enough and until I’m ready.’   Of course, she was persuaded to come out of her break to record the theme song to the Bond movie Skyfall, which won her an Oscar, Grammy and Golden Globe.

Eddie Redmayne only has eyes for girlfriend!

He’s becoming known as a romantic hero after roles in Les Miserables and My Week With Marilyn.   And it appears British actor Eddie Redmayne is just as romantic in real-life as he enjoyed a romantic dinner with girlfriend Hannah Bagshawe in London on Wednesday.   The actor, 31, and his publicist lover were spotted hand-in-hand as they left the Bluebird Cafe on the King’s Road in Chelsea.

At one point, the pair stopped for a romantic clinch on the pavement.   The couple, who are believed to have started dating in January 2012, made it official on the red carpet at the London premiere of Les Mis in December.   In a recent interview, Eddie admitted he was colour blind and relied on his brunette girlfriend to help him pick his clothes.

He told People.com: ‘I’m confused with colours. When I go out to premieres and events, I have to check with my girlfriend that the trousers match the top… I recently wore a blue suit – and I had to ask her if it was really blue rather than purple. She assured me it was blue. I could not tell the difference.

‘I’m lucky to be with someone who is very supportive.’   Of course, Chelsea has long been Eddie’s stomping ground, having grown up in the exclusive West London district as a child.

Meanwhile, Eddie is currently filming Jupiter Ascending alongside Mila Kunis, Sean Bean and Channing Tatum.   The sci-fi film, directed by Lana Wachowski and Andy Wachowski, is set in the future, with Mila as a lowly janitor who discovers she has a great genetic destiny.

Jupiter Ascending is due to release in July 2014.

Kourtney Kardashian and Kris Jenner touch down in London!

They are always at the forefront of trends and fashion.   So when Kourtney Kardashian and her momager Kris Jenner travelled to London, it came as no surprise that they were armed with a mountain of luggage.   As the pair touched down at Heathrow Airport on Wednesday morning, they were followed by a trolley containing 11 large suitcases and suit bags – to ensure they had enough outfit options for their stay.

Clearly having planned her ensemble carefully, Kourtney looked chic in a black and white chequered coat as she exited the airport, pushing her daughter Penelope in her pram and holding onto her son Mason.   Kris, meanwhile, wore an odd ensemble consisting of a heavily patterned black and white trouser suit and a white shirt.

Opting for comfort over style for the long-haul flight, Kris topped off her outfit with a pair of flat loafers.

Little Mason, meanwhile, looked ready for bed following the flight in a blue all-in-one, teamed with a pair of black biker boots.   Kourtney was joined by her boyfriend Scott Disick for the trip, as the newly-crowned ‘Lord’ is due to attend various social commitments while in the English capital.

Kourtney and her family flew into London after a busy stay in New York

On Tuesday, Kourtney and Kris slipped on firefighter outfits while visiting a local station in Manhattan.   The 57-year-old matriarch and the 34-year-old socialite skipped the massive hose in favour of brandishing pike poles for the tourist snap, which they posted on Instagram.   ‘It was an honor to visit everyone at Fire House 10 thanks guys!’ the momager tweeted to her 2.9 million followers.

Firehouse 10 is located across the street from the World Trade Center site and the 9/11 Memorial.

A total of 343 firefighters and paramedics were killed in the devastating 2001 terrorist attack.

Earlier on Tuesday, the reality stars were seen leaving their Manhattan hotel alongside Kourtney’s partner Scott Disick and their son Mason.

The mother-daughter duo rocked matching Hermes Birkin bags, which cost around $15,000.

Kourtney wore a green Army jacket over a black leather top and skinny jeans tucked into riding boots.

Kris followed close behind in a printed blouse, black leather trousers, and high-heeled booties.   Sour-faced Scott and his sharp cheekbones carried little Mason while clad in a black top under a leather jacket and light-blue jeans.

Cesc Fabregas girlfriend in legal battle!

A former Premier League star’s girlfriend has been embroiled in a legal battle with her millionaire ex-husband after the footballer became involved in a row over a £7million property. Elie Taktouk argued his former wife Daniella Semaan understated the amount of financial support she receives from boyfriend Cesc Fabregas during their divorce proceedings.

He launched a legal bid yesterday in a further attempt to stop the sale of the luxury Belgravia flat they once shared after he was ordered to use profits from the sale and a top-up payment to give her £1.4million for a new home.

The Lebanese property tycoon applied for leave to appeal after a company owned by Barcelona star Fabregas put in a bid for the Grade II-listed Upper Belgrave Street flat.   The Court of Appeal heard the company offered about £5.4million for the property.

Mr Taktouk said the move means his ex-wife would be allowed to stay in their former home if the former Arsenal footballer buys the luxury flat and still receive the top-up payment.

However, the court rejected his application for leave to appeal the order yesterday.

Mr Taktouk and Miss Semaan divorced months after photographs appeared in the media of her on holiday with the 25-year-old Spaniard in Italy. Miss Semaan, who has two children by Mr Taktouk, gave birth to her and Fabregas’ first daughter last week.

Mr Taktouk claimed that during the divorce hearings his ex-wife understated the amount of financial help she will receive from Fabregas, who is believed to earn £5million a year.

Her evidence led to judge Mr Justice Coleridge ordering the sale of the luxury London flat.

Mr Taktouk’s barrister, Stephen Lyon, told the Court of Appeal that Miss Semaan had argued that Fabregas’ obligations were only to their child, and not her.

He said she claimed she only received money to travel to Barcelona from London and financial support while she was there.

‘Mr Fabregas, we say, is quite clearly a resource of far greater significance than the wife let on in the course of her evidence,’ claimed Mr Lyon.   ‘We say it is rather extraordinary that, less than three weeks after judgment was handed down, through his company in Barcelona he was offering to purchase (the flat).   ‘What would happen is she would remain in occupation with £1.4 million in the bank, which was not the intention of Mr Justice Coleridge.

‘It is quite clear from the judgement that the broad thrust of his assessment was that Mr Fabregas was a wealthy boyfriend who provided her with funds when she was in Barcelona, paid for taxis, flights, and expensive presents.   ‘He is clearly a resource of far greater significance. Had Mr Justice Coleridge known that, the outcome might well have been a different one.’   The court heard that Mr Taktouk had previously claimed that the flat was not theirs, but actually ultimately owned by his wealthy father.

However, Lord Justice Jackson refused Mr Taktouk the right to appeal.

He said there were no arguable grounds on which to suggest Mr Justice Coleridge’s assessment of the wife’s financial position was wrong.

Lord Justice Jackson told the court: ‘No doubt he will support the child, but the long-term support of Mr Fabregas for the wife is not something which could be counted on.   ‘Even if the company controlled by Mr Fabregas buys the former matrimonial home, this will still not be a property which the wife owns.   ‘She will live there only by the permission of Mr Fabregas and the fact that his company has made an offer – an insufficient offer, it would seem – does not materially change the facts as they were before Mr Justice Coleridge.’

Mr Taktouk and Miss Semaan married when they were 24 and living in Lebanon. They had two children, a boy and a girl, before their divorce.   She gave birth to Fabregas’ baby girl, Lia, while he was on the pitch in a Champions League game against Paris Saint-Germain two weeks ago.   The World Cup-winning former Arsenal captain transferred to Barcelona in a £25 million move in 2011, taking him back to the club where he began his career.   Although his application for leave to appeal was refused, Mr Taktouk has an application to block the sale of the flat due to be heard by a judge in the next few weeks.

Nicole Scherzinger Torn over X Factor Job!

Nicole Scherzinger is ‘torn’ about whether of not to make a return to the X Factor judging panel.   While the singer was thought to be a ‘dead cert’ to make a comeback on the ITV talent show, it has now been revealed that Nicole has not yet officially decided either way.   Nicole is hesitating because she has an incredibly busy few months ahead, including the release of her hotly-anticipated new album.

The source said: ‘Nicole just doesn’t know if she can do both. It really is all or nothing for Nicole – she wants to be able to give 100% to whatever she signs up for.

‘They’ve offered her a good deal but are still talking to her to work out if she can do both. She hasn’t said no yet because she loves the UK – she got an amazing reaction from the public and she has set up her home here in London.’   Nicole won herself millions of fans worldwide through her appearance on last year’s X Factor, with her enthusiasm and dedication leading to both of her acts, eventual winner James Arthur and runner-up Jahmene Douglas, making up the final two of the competition.

However, Nicole is aware that being on the show takes up a huge amount of time – the judges also spend time with their acts learning where they have come from and their stories so far as well as mentoring them for the live shows.

And as October also marks being the biggest month of the year for record sales, Nicole will have to decide where her priorities lie – as she is hoping to achieve the same success from her hit single Boomerang with the release of her as-yet-untitled album.   But Nicole will have to make a decision in the near future as the live auditions for the X Factor kick off imminently.

The source added: ‘The future’s uncertain – and Nicole is concerned that it’s huge commitment to take both on.

‘She’s torn between the two and has to choose between one or the other – she loves both and she’s in an impossible situation.’   In addition, if Nicole decides not to sign up for another series of The X Factor, the likelihood is that she won’t continue to live in London – as she will no longer need a base in the capital.   Gary Barlow and Louis Walsh are rumoured to be rejoining the show, but fellow judge Tulisa has reportedly been axed with former panellist Sharon Osbourne favourite to replace her.

 

 

Love is in the air!

He’s been busy as Diet Coke’s new creative director after unveiling his first can design in March.

So Marc Jacobs is making sure he takes full advantage of his well-deserved vacation with boyfriend Harry Louis.

The couple were seen showing off their chiseled physiques in skimpy swimshorts as they kissed, held hands and frolicked in the ocean together on Ipanema Beach on Sunday in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The fashion designer and his porn star beau were seen lounging on their sunbeds with a female friend, drinking fresh coconut water as they soaked up the sun.

Marc, 49, wore a tiny black swimsuit while Harry, 25, who has already made a name for himself in the adult movie industry, donned heart-patterned shorts that left little to the imagination.

Both men sported incredible muscular physiques as they shared a lingering kiss on the sand, before taking a dip together in the ocean.   The pair clearly couldn’t keep their hands off each other, holding hands and kissing as they enjoyed their day in the sun.

At one point, the affection even appeared to get too much for Marc as he seemed to gently be pushing his lover away when he tried to kiss his neck.

But there were no hard feelings as Marc, clearly impressed by his boyfriend’s impeccable body, snapped photos of the hunk as he stood in a series of different poses.

Marc was also seen lathering on sunscreen to make sure there was no sunburn marks at the end of the day as Harry appeared occupied with his cellphone.

The pair were likely taking the holiday to see in Marc’s 50th birthday, which falls on April 9.

After their amorous sunbathing session, Marc donned a V-neck black T-shirt and baggy trousers, while Harry barely covered up in a skimpy blue tank top, opting to leave the beach in just his swimshorts.

Harry is clearly smitten with his famous boyfriend, tweeting a series of messages and pictures of Marc in quick succession on Sunday.

In one tweet, which shows Marc in a pool, Harry wrote: ‘Hot, beautiful, and just too sexy for one single pic!!! I love my baby!!!!’

In another tweet he wrote, ‘Sunny and hot!!! With my baby next to me, even hotter!!!!’

The pair have been dating for a little over a year after Marc split from his handsome Brazilian ex-model boyfriend Lorenzo Martone in 2010.

Initially, the couple refused to confirm or deny reports that they were dating.

According to Brazilian gossip site GPSBrasilia, Marc met his youthful and exotic-looking partner in London, where Louis is now based.

 

 

 

 

 

The look of Love!

As One Direction’s world tour gets underway, Liam Payne is intent on spending as much time with his girlfriend as possible.

The teenage pin-up was seen escorting dancer Danielle Peazer to exclusive London nightclub Whisky Mist on Tuesday night.

Earlier in the evening, Liam had been performing at the O2 Arena with the rest of the band, so was probably excited to unwind with his nearest and dearest.

Liam looked happy and relaxed as he left the club in the early hours of the morning, holding hands with the pretty brunette.   Dressed in a pair of black jeans and white Converse trainers, he wore his polo shirt buttoned all the to the top, giving him a clean-cut look.

An enormous gold watch gave the only clue that he wasn’t just an average teen on a night out with his sweetheart.

Danielle, 24, showed off her incredible figure in a pair of tight black trousers and a cropped grey T-shirt that featured an applique jewel motif, and highlighted her enviably toned tummy.

 

Her usually curly brunette hair was blow-dried straight for her date with Wolverhampton-born Liam.

The couple are thought to have one of the strongest relationships in pop music, with Liam breaking millions of Directioners’ hearts when he hinted that he may even quit the band to be with Danielle, a dancer, full time.

The Daily Star reported that Liam misses Danielle so much while he is travelling around fulfilling work duties that he has considered quitting the band altogether.   They quoted the singer as saying: ‘I can’t stand being away from Danielle. If it’s between the band and her, I’ll choose her.’   The paper also reported that of the members of One Direction – Zayn Malik, Harry Styles, Louis  Tomlinson and Niall Horan – it is Liam who suffers the most from homesickness.

He reportedly even asked bosses if Danielle could accompany him and the band on their gruelling  Take Me Home world tour, which will see them visit 118 countries between now and October.

However, his request was denied and he was told that he should be concentrating on work.

It’s Liam and Danielle’s second shot at romance following a split last year.

The pressures of touring kept them apart for long periods of time and their relationship floundered.

This too was was said to be of concern to the Up All Night singer.   A source told the Daily Star: ‘Since getting back together with Danielle at the end of last year they have grown much closer and really bonded. Liam hates being away from her.

‘He relies on her for so much emotional support. Some of the other lads in the group are the  total opposite – they just want to party and chat up girls.’

Danielle might take comfort in knowing that should she want to see Liam, she only has to take a tube to Baker Street.   It was recently revealed that One Direction are to be immortalised in wax at Madame Tussauds.

Just like their human counterparts, the waxworks will be embarking on their own world tour later this year, visiting New York and Sydney.

The models will go on show in London, New York and Sydney from April 28 until early 2014.   Fans had a chance to see the waxworks in their formative stages when a short segment appeared on ITV’s Daybreak on Wednesday morning.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Beckingham Palace goes up for Sale!

It is a £10 million mansion they have made their own, adding a recording studio, helipad and indoor and outdoor swimming pools.

But now David and Victoria Beckham are to sell their Hertfordshire home, nicknamed Beckingham Palace, after 14 years as they seek a more cosmopolitan life in London.

The stars, however, don’t want just anyone moving in. They are keen to ensure the home goes to a family, telling estate agents they only want to sell to a private buyer, not to a developer who might split the property – called Rowneybury House – into luxury apartments.

A source close to the family said David, 37, and Victoria, 38, didn’t want builders to cash in on their name, explaining: ‘They know there aren’t lots of individuals looking for houses of this size, and developers would jump at the chance to turn it into smaller flats, which would have added value because of the Beckham connection.

But both David and Victoria spent years improving Rowneybury and they’re prepared to wait for the right buyer who will continue their work, rather than someone looking to cash in on their name.’

Ironically, the couple bought the house – a former council-run children’s home – and its 22-acre grounds from a property developer, Richard Maher, in 1999, when they paid £2.5 million. Their additions include a snooker room, a gym and floodlit tennis courts.

But since the family moved back to Britain in January – after David left Los Angeles Galaxy to join French side Paris Saint-Germain – they have been spending most of their time in a rented £20 million house in Kensington.

It is relatively close to the head office of Victoria’s fashion business in Battersea and the exclusive designer boutiques of Bond Street – and even before they took over the high-security  property, the couple tended to stay in hotels such as The Savoy when working in London, rather than make the one-hour trip to Hertfordshire.

They are now hoping to buy a family home in Kensington or Mayfair.

The source added: ‘When they moved back from LA they thought they would use Rowneybury at weekends. But since they’ve been back they’ve been so busy in London they’ve barely been there.’

The couple’s sons, Brooklyn, 13, and Romeo, ten, lived at Rowneybury after they were born and the family kept it on as their British base after David was signed to Real Madrid in 2003.

The Beckhams – who also have a seven-year-old son, Cruz, and 20-month-old daughter, Harper – are believed to be keeping their £11 million Beverly Hills home for breaks during the school holidays.

They are celebrating Easter there.
