Hit: Elegance personified Duchess Catherine
Catherine certainly knows how to make an impression and once again she wows in the style stakes as she and Prince William arrive in Canada in this gorgeous lace dress, which highlights her enviable figure while remaining classy. The Duchess has brought 30 outfits with her on the Royal Tour, so far they have all been as stunning as this one.
The 25-year-old singer – who is well known for her eccentric tastes – is obsessed with the British TV show where people bring in their valuables to find out their value, and friends have now bought her a DVD box set of classic episodes so she can watch them on the road.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “Lady Gaga is really into her antiques so British pals thought she might be interested in the programme.
“It went down a storm and Gaga hasn’t stopped watching the DVDs. She loves how the old people think their antique is a bit of old tat but ends up costing thousands. It’s right up her street.”
The ‘Judas’ hitmaker herself has some expensive items in her closet – she was given the red shoes worn by Judy Garland in 1939 movie ‘The Wizard of Oz’ as a present from her management earlier this year.
It is not the first time Lady Gaga has been linked to a love of television – she has previously confessed she adores watching cookery shows when she has some down time.
She said: “When I get time off, I like to watch cooking shows, I’m really obsessed with them. I’m a really good cook now, just from watching those shows. My specialty is Italian.”
Daniel Craig’s former fiancee has banned anyone from mentioning him in her presence.
The James Bond star split from Satsuki Mitchell – who he got engaged to in 2007 – last November, and she was stunned to learn he had married actress Rachel Weisz in a secret ceremony last month following a whirlwind romance.
Satsuki’s father, Christopher Mitchell, said: “His sudden marriage came out of nowhere. We heard about it like everyone else, by reading the newspapers. She doesn’t mention his name now and tells me off if I do.”
According to Christopher, Satsuki had realised their relationship would never have worked out but had only just begun to get over her split from 43-year-old Daniel when the news broke about his marriage.
He told the Daily Mail newspaper: “Satsuki has only just reached a happy place. She has since said, more than once, that the break up was the best thing for her.
“She knew he was not the man she wanted him to be and there was something wrong in the relationship.”
Christopher is worried about the impact Daniel’s marriage will have on his daughter because he became concerned she had developed an eating disorder when they split up last year.
He said: “I have suggested to her on a number of occasions that she might have a disorder. Yet whenever we’re together she eats like a horse.”
Daniel and Rachel – who first went public with their romance in December when they spent Christmas together at a cottage in the English countryside – tied the knot in front of just four people, the actor’s daughter Ella, 18, the actress’ four-year-old son Henry and two friends at a pal’s house in New York state.
Rachel, 40, split from Henry’s father, ‘Black Swan’ director Darren Aronofsky last year, announcing in November they had been separated for some time but remained “close”.
The couple star together in upcoming horror movie ‘Dream House’ – to be released in September 2011 – which they shot throughout 2010.
Emma Watson “cried” uncontrollably when finished filming the last ‘Harry Potter’ film.
The actress – who was just 10 when she first played Hermione Granger in the wizard franchise – couldn’t control her emotions when she had to hang up her Hogwarts outfit for the last time when shooting on ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2’ wrapped.
Speaking on UK TV show ‘Daybreak’, she said: “It was so strange … I kind of felt quite numb, I couldn’t really – it doesn’t seem like your feeling anything. And it was when they said, ‘That’s Emma down and Rupert wrapped,’ on ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’, and it just hit me and it was incredibly emotional obviously.
“I cried, cried, cried, cried, cried – it was really emotional and overwhelming.”
Although she is sad the ‘Harry Potter’ movies have come to an end, Emma, now 21, is looking forward to taking on new roles – as long as they don’t require so many years of her life.
She said: “I mean it’s so funny, when I’ve signed on for other projects, other things, people don’t really understand why I get quite jumpy and quite concerned and I think it’s because I’ve signed on for one thing and it turns into a 12-year project. And I realise that everything else won’t be like that, but I just can’t believe what it turned into.”
Emma – who starred in the movies alongside Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint – will always be proud to have portrayed witch Hermione and isn’t worried about being typecast in the future.
She said: “If I’m going to be associated with anything, I’m so thrilled that it would be her and it would be this.”
The Duke of Cambridge beat his wife – who used to belong to the Sisterhood boat crew – by 10 lengths as they each joined a team to race across Dalvay Lake on Prince Edward Island in Canada on the fifth day of their tour of the North American country.
Before the contest the prince was asked who he thought would triumph, and he joked: “We are of course.”
But Kate quipped: “He’ll be lucky.”
The royal couple – who tied the knot in London’s Westminster Abbey on April 29 – hugged and congratulated each other following the race.
Kate steered her team’s boat, while William’s boat led from the start and it was clear from the beginning his vessel looked more likely to win.
The duke and duchess arrived at the event via horse-drawn carriage and were greeted by thousands of supporters, and some had camped overnight to get a glimpse of the royal couple.
Earlier in the day, the prince – who flies Sea King helicopters in the RAF (Royal Air Force) – took part in a dangerous helicopter manoeuvre on the lake, landing a Canadian military helicopter on the water for the first time.
The couple – who will leave Canada for California on Friday – also took in Province House, where the idea for the country was born.
William said in a speech, which he partly spoke in French, it was “quite a moment” to be stood in front of the building where the “Canadian federation was forged”.
Cheryl Cole’s ex-husband Ashley is planning to propose to her for a second time.
The 28-year-old singer and the soccer ace – who divorced in 2010 amid claims he had cheated on her with five women – wants to re-marry his ex-wife and is now looking for the “biggest” diamond he can find to get down on one knee, so the pair can start a family.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “He is convinced Cheryl will agree to marry him and wants the biggest diamond he can get.
“She’s desperate to start a family but he knows she’ll want to do it as a married woman.”
Cheryl – who has had a makeover with newly blonde hair following her sacking from the US version of ‘X Factor’ – spent the afternoon with Ashley’s mother Sue at her home in Chigwell, Essex, yesterday and she is “glad” to have her former daughter-in-law back in her life.
A source said: “Sue is incredibly fond of Cheryl and is forever singing her praises. She says she is so glad to have her daughter-in-law back.
“She realises how insanely happy Cheryl makes Ashley and believes they are a good team. Sue saw the positive impact which Cheryl had on Ashley. She loves her son and wants the best for him – as far as she is concerned Cheryl was nothing but a positive influence”
However, Cheryl’s mother Joan is not so keen on the reunion, and was upset seeing them together at the Girls Aloud star’s 28th birthday party on Friday night .
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “Joan has Cheryl’s best interests at heart. She is the person who is most open and honest with her and was there to pick up the pieces when they split.”
She reportedly said at Cheryl’s party: “I don’t want her to have him back. I’ll never forgive him for what he did to her.”
Meanwhile, Ashley has confirmed he is opening a restaurant and club in central London with hip-hop mogul Jay-Z.
He said: “I’m delighted to be working with Jay-Z. I have grown up listening to his music so to be doing business with him is amazing.”
Jay-Z added: “It’ll be the hottest place in town.”
The 26-year-old star – whose mum and dad are Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne – praised the couple’s 30-year marriage, and wished them a happy anniversary.
Writing on her twitter page, she said: “happy anniversary mum and dad! you are the definition of true love! @MrsSOsbourne @OfficialOzzy. 30 years of true love! (sic)”
However, Kelly didn’t take too kindly to the comments of one fan, who suggested Sharon and Ozzy’s relationship was “f****d up” referring to an incident in 1989 when the former Black Sabbath rocker reportedly attempted to strangle his wife.
He tweeted: “@MissKellyO Didn’t your Dad strangle your Mum unconcious? f****d up love if you ask me. (sic)”
To which Kelly replied: “go and f**k yourself with a hedgehog! (sic)”
Sharon recently revealed she was so shocked to receive sexy text messages from her husband, she was convinced a thief had stolen his mobile phone.
She said: “I got a text from Ozzy yesterday and I’m like, ‘Jesus, somebody’s stolen his phone.’ Because I thought somebody found his phone and they were texting me dirty messages.
“And Silvana, my assistant, goes, ‘Oh my god, Ozzy’s just sent you this really dirty text.’ And I’m like, ‘Well it’s not him, somebody must have stolen his phone, he can’t text’. But it was him.”
The 32-year-old socialite was spending the July 4 holiday in New York’s exclusive Hamptons district with her 18-month-old son Mason when a passer-by screamed “bitch” at her.
Writing on her twitter page, Kourtney explained: “I love how I was walking nicely w my son in the Hamptons and a drunk w***e yelled BITCH because I waved at her instead of saying hi. #classy (sic)”
Up until then, the ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ star had been enjoying a cruise with son Mason and boyfriend Scott Disick.
She tweeted: “Happy 4th of July babies! Nothing like a Hamptons cruise with my family. (sic)”
However, Kourtney isn’t the only member of the Kardashian clan to have encountered problems with members of the public.
Last year, her sister Kim had a drink thrown over her while filming scenes for her reality show ‘Kim and Kourtney Take New York’.
Kim said: “I want to address this because everyone has been asking me if I’m OK after the bar fight last night. I’m totally fine, guys.
“Last night, Kourtney, Scott, Khloe and I went out to a bar to have a fun night on Khloe’s last night in New York. A drunk male fan came up to me and asked to take a picture, and I obliged, but his girlfriend, who was also drunk, got a little out of hand.”
