'There is no sex tape,' claims LeAnn Rimes after rumours of illicit footage surface

She has no problem informing the entire world of her day to day movements via social networking sites.

But there is one part of her life that LeAnn Rimes is claiming she would never share.

The recently married actress has spoken out today to deny the existence of a sex tape, reportedly filmed during her first marriage to dancer Dean Sheremet.

The 28-year-old took to her favourite communication platform, Twitter, to debunk the stories circling the web that illicit footage featuring LeAnn and Dean was found on a moving truck.
 
'I hear there are rumors (sic) of a 'sex tape,' the Northern Lights star wrote.

'I have never filmed myself having sex on tape, period. Haven't joined that club lol.'

LeAnn and Dean were married for eight years but separated in 2009 with their divorce being finalized last summer.

LeAnn then married her Northern Lights co-star Eddie Cibrian last month in a beach-side ceremony.

But despite LeAnn's clear denial of the tape's existence, her former husband wasn't so dismissive of the claims.

'Things like this happen,' Dean told Perez Hilton.

'We were married for eight years, we did a lot of shit.'

Continuing life as normal, LeAnn was spotted out and about the day the rumours surfaced enjoying a day of shopping with her step-son Mason, 6, in Malibu, California.

The actress held on tight to Mason's hand as they browsed several clothing stores and picked up coffee and cupcakes at the Crumbs Bakery.

Stunning Abbey Clancy soaks up Sardinian sun in sparkly bikini while gorgeous baby Sophia snoozes

It can be hard work relaxing on holiday - just ask Abbey Clancy's beautiful baby girl Sophia.

She's with her 25-year-old model mother and footballing father Peter Crouch on holiday in Sardinia - but while Abbey made an effort to top up her tan, her 12-week-old little daughter didn't even have the energy to keep her eyes open.

Abbey had briefly got her little girl out of her shady pink pram before popping her back in again safely out of the Mediterranean sun.

However, Abbey had no such qualms, and added to her golden glow as she relaxed with a friend in a black string-tie bikini covered in silver sequins.

The stunning model and her fiancé Peter Crouch are on a pre-wedding holiday in Sardinia.

Naturally, Abbey is taking the opportunity to show off her amazing post-pregnancy bikini body in as many different bikinis as possible.

Yesterday, it was difficult to believe that the Liverpudlian model had even had a child as she looked so toned and tanned in a £178 Vix Monaco two-piece, which she teamed with a chiffon sun jacket.

And her future husband, 30-year-old Tottenham Hotspurs player Crouch, complemented her with white swimming shorts.

Clearly smitten with his fiancée and her stunning post-pregnancy body, Crouch couldn't resist grabbing her pert posterior as they smooched in the sun.

The pair, who are due to get married on June 30, jetted off to Sardinia for their first family holiday with Sophia, who was born in London's exclusive Portland Hospital on March 14.

Staying in a four-star hotel by the sea, they looked completely besotted with their little girl.

After arriving at the Italian island on Wednesday night, the couple were keen to soak up the sun yesterday.

And after enjoying an alfresco breakfast of boiled eggs and toast, they lounged by the pool.

At one point, the tactile couple shared a lounger and started snuggling under a towel.

It also looked like they were hoping to enjoy some watersports after making inquiries at a kiosk on a nearby pier.

The vacation comes just three weeks before the couple are expected to wed following a two year engagement.

The Mail On Sunday's Katie Nicholl column told how they will tie the knot at the Stapleford Park hotel in Leicestershire on June 30.

A friend said: 'They sent out wedding invites with details engraved on a candle.

‘The ceremony will be at the Church of St Mary Magdalene in the grounds of the country house, followed by a reception in the Grand Hall.

‘Abbey has booked a band, she’s looking for a magician, and there will be some karaoke later in the evening.’

Since becoming a mother, Clancy has spoken about how much she was enjoying parenting.

She wrote in Now magazine: 'Being a mum is amazing! I've turned into one of those women I hate because I'm always talking about the baby.

'She's so pretty - I was surprised she's a girl because I was convinced I was having a boy.

Kate and William bring a touch of glamour to charity gala

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge made a dazzling entrance at a charity gala dinner at Kensington Palace.

Looking stunning in a Jenny Packham gown, accessorised with LK Bennett shoes and a clutch bag, Kate brought her usual touch of simple elegance to the Duke and Duchess's first official public engagement as a married couple.

The couple were attending the 10th annual Absolute Return for Kids (Ark) Gala Dinner.

Kate's style has been scrutinised since officially becoming a member of the Royal family following her wedding to Prince William in April.

With her recent appearances - meeting the Obamas at Buckingham Palace and horse racing at the Epsom Derby at the weekend - she tested the sartorial water with simple but chic pieces concentrating on mainly High Street names.
 
However, the Duchess pulled out all the stops for the glamorous event, attending in a shimmering figure-hugging peach designer gown.

William and Kate attended the reception with 900 other guests at Perks Field and later sat down to a private dinner before the prince gave a speech.

Musician and DJ Mark Ronson and his band provided the soundtrack of the evening for the royals and guests who had paid £10,000 a ticket for the exclusive charity event.

The Duke and Duchess attended on behalf of the Foundation of Prince William and Prince Harry - a body which raises sustainable funds for charitable grants.

The gala dinner was held in an enormous luxury marquee.

As the guests arrived, a troupe of divers entertained them by plunging acrobatically into a specially constructed pool.

When the royal couple's Jaguar limousine pulled up, they were greeted by calls from banks of photographers asking them to pose for a picture.

Financier Arpad Busson, co-founder of the organisation, warmly welcomed them before they climbed a few steps to the entrance of the building before posing and smiling for the waiting cameras.

Outside the banquet hall was a covered reception area with two champagne bars and stalls serving sumptuous canapes from the Mediterranean and Far East where guests gathered before dinner was served.

The Duke and Duchess mingled with some of the more prominent figures or chatted to associates of their host, Mr Busson, known as Arki to his friends.

William and Kate were the centre of attention with people crowding around them to get a view of the newlyweds or take their picture on camera phones.

Mr Busson has two sons with his former partner, model Elle Macpherson, and in recent years has dated actress Uma Thurman.

The royal couple chatted to his sons, Flynn Busson, 13, and his eight-year-old brother, Cy, laughing and joking with them.

After about 45 minutes, they made their way into the circular banqueting room which was filled with almost 100 oval tables.

Among the guests seated on the Duke and Duchess's table were Oscar-winning actor Colin Firth, actress Liz Hurley, socialite Jemima Khan and broadcaster Mariella Frostrup.

Elisabeth Murdoch, the daughter of media tycoon Rupert Murdoch, also had a place, as did William's private secretary, Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, and Baroness de Rothschild.

Anish Kapoor, the British-based, Indian-born sculptor, who won the Turner Prize in 1991, was another guest with a seat close to the Duke and Duchess.

Kate sat between Crown Prince Pavlos of Greece, a distant relative of William, and Mr Busson, while her husband was opposite her with socialite Countess Debonaire von Bismarck on his left and Princess Marie of Greece on his other side.

Wrapped around the edge of the room was a multi-coloured dot-matrix display which would later be used to show the bidding for charity lots that included a stay on the Maltese Falcon - the world's largest sailing yacht - or a Kenyan safari at a luxury lodge.

On the tables were tiny consoles to allow the wealthy guests to place their bids and around the room were swings for performers to use to entertain the guests.

The £10,000-a-head dinner featured auctions to raise donations for Ark, which has projects helping disadvantaged children around the globe.

In the UK it sponsors a number of academy schools and runs other projects like Teaching Leaders and Future Leaders.

Ark was co-founded in 2002 by the financier Arpad Busson, who now acts as a trustee of the organisation.

Made In Chelsea's Funda and Agne strip down for a racy car wash

They might star in the posh reality TV show Made In Chelsea, but Funda and Agne look anything but classy in their latest photoshoot.

The former girlfriend of Spencer Matthews and Francis Boulle’s intern took part in a racy car wash in their tiny bikinis.

But it was all in the name of technology, for an iPhone app called Beach Car Wash for their fans to download.

Brazilian-born dancer Funda Onal, 26, showed off her amazing figure in a nude bikini embellished with gold sequins.

While Lithuanian Agne Motiejunaite, 26, posed in a red and white polka dot bikini while she washed the vehicle.

When she wasn’t waxing the car though, Agne took time out to sit on a Swiss Ball in black strappy heels.

In their TV show, which centres around a cast of wealthy twenty-somethings who live in Chelsea, London, Funda and Agne haven’t met each other.

Yet off-screen they seem to be best of friends if these photos are anything to go by.

In this week’s episode Funda’s boyfriend Spencer, 22, broke up with her because his feelings for Caggie Dunlop, 21, became too strong to ignore.

There had been a love triangle between the trio until he finally made the decision to dump Funda.

Meanwhile, after single Agne decided to go on a date with her boss’s friend Fredrik Ferrier, which made Francis extremely jealous.

Despite Funda losing her boyfriend, she seems to be catching plenty of attention from other male admirers and stars in the latest music video by boyband Encore.

In the video, which has just hit the internet, Funda plays a cheating girlfriend and gets up close and personal with singer Cairo Woodword.

The single Tit For Tat will be released on July 17th and is sung by Cairo, Pierre Joseph and Mark Asari.

The Saturdays play live in tiny shorts as Nicola Roberts overcomes her nerves to make solo stage debut

They've never been afraid of wearing skimpy outfits onstage - but The Saturdays outdid themselves on stage in Newcastle last night.

The girl group were sporting the tiniest Daisy Dukes as they played a short set at a gig thrown by the city's radio station, Metro Radio Live.

But not all of the girls thought the look was right for them. It seems that Rochelle Wiseman was not having one of her more confident days and instead opted for pale denim skintight jeans rather than the tiny cut-off denims her bandmates were wearing.

However, one person who had most definitely overcome her nerves was Nicola Roberts, who made her live solo singing debut, just days after saying she was dreading going on stage without her Girls Aloud bandmates.


Talking to MTV earlier this week, she'd revealed: 'I'm nervous and I'm dreading the night before. I know I'm going to be like losing half a stone in weight overnight, so I'm going to have to get myself into the zone.'

She added: 'There does feel like there is a little bit of extra pressure, because it is just me and it feels a little bit like, is that enough, is it enough to just look at that?'

However, she seemed to quash her butterflies and impressed the crowd, singing debut solo single Beat Of My Drum in a tiny red and pink dress accessorised with a kooky headscarf and multicoloured strappy heels.

Other acts playing the bash included dubstep queen Katy B, Chipmunk, Sophie Ellis Bextor, The Feeling, The Wanted, rapper Example, hot new band The Overtones and Amy Winehouse's god-daughter Dionne Bromfield.

Meanwhile, Nicola has been explaining why she chose to take such a different direction musically with her new single.

Working with hot underground music producer Diplo, she explained: 'I tried to drum in to him that I wanted these quirky dollops of sound like M.I.A. (who he's worked with before) or Major Lazer (his Jamaican dancehall project).

'Don’t try and make this record come back like a commercial, just-for-radio song with 500 dance synths all over it ‘cause it’s not where I’m trying to go.'

Scouse beauty Nicola also says she feels like she's unleashed her singing voice properly for the first time too.

She said: 'I was sick to death of singing the quiet, whispery parts. I was like, no, f*** this, I’m going to sing!'

Talking to MTV, Nicola said it was good that it was so different to Girls Aloud: 'It was important my first single was different to anything else around.

'I love that it’s a song everyone can sing and dance along to.

Nicola Roberts will be releasing her debut album ‘Cinderella’s Eyes’ in October.

Meanwhile, the Daily Mirror is reporting that Girls Aloud are heading back into the studio in January.

But apparently, the girls are ditching their former producers, hitmakers Xenomania.

A source said: 'At the moment the Girls are really excited about their new beginning, although they are scratching their heads over who will create signature hits for them.

'They’re excited they’re going to be making a fresh start together on this next adventure of their lives.

'In six months time it’ll be back to work as normal – they are itching to get back in the studio.'

The band are reportedly set to reform to celebrate their 10th anniversary next year at a special festival for the London 2012 Olympics at the O2 Arena.

Nicola though is onstage again for a hometown gig at Liverpool's Radio City Live tonight, before playing T4 On The Beach on 10 July.

Beat Of My Drum is then released on 18 July.

Meanwhile, MTV Music show On Set With Nicola Roberts is on at 2pm tomorrow.

Also on stage at the event was another singer known for her pale skinned look. Sophie Ellis Bexter appeared on the bill in a red thigh-length mini dress and gold heels as she promoted her new single, Starlight.

The next Metro Radio Live is on 7 July and will feature JLS and Olly Murs.

Selling out: The make-up you can leave on all night which rejuvenates skin

It is a nightly chore for  every woman – removing the day’s make-up before going to sleep.
But perhaps not for much longer. A powder that can be worn to bed and even rejuvenates skin while you sleep has been selling out within minutes as insecure women seek to cover up a poor complexion.

Research shows that an increasing number are tempted to sleep in their make-up because they are worried about their looks.

Two-thirds admit that they are nervous to take it off when they are with a new partner, and 16 per cent think they are unattractive when they are bare faced, the poll of 1,000 women found.

Nearly a quarter said they slept wearing make-up up to three  times a week – despite knowing it isn’t good for their skin – and 35 per cent said they would sleep in it if they could.

But the makers of Bare  Escentuals Pure Transformation Night Treatment reckon their product can be worn all night with no ill effects. The key is, apparently, that  the powder from their Bare Minerals line is lighter than other make-up as it blends with the natural moisture of the skin, rather than sitting on top of it.

Brand manager Lee Etheridge said that thanks to ‘active soil complex’ – a mixture of 70 minerals – in the make-up, the skin is encouraged to replenish and pore sizes reduce.

 
She added: ‘When you are young, the skin cells replenish every 28 days, but as you age, cells build up on the skin for longer. The active soil complex helps improve the turnover of these cells, which makes pores appear smaller.

‘Many women don’t have confidence in their skin and just want to feel good about themselves. This is a treatment they can fit into any skincare routine.’

The make-up, which costs £45  and is applied with a brush, comes in four shades for a range of  skin colours. Its makers claim it lasts throughout the night and does not leave any marks on the pillow. Beauty experts said the product would appeal to women in need of a confidence boost.

Alice Hart-Davis, beauty expert and creator of www.goodthingsbeauty.com, said: ‘This is a very unusual product because it is an overnight treatment that also has cosmetic benefits.

‘In principle, I object to anything that makes women feeling under pressure to improve their looks in the bedroom, but in practice, I know how many women do their level best never to let their other half see them without make-up.

‘For them, and for women who lack confidence in how their skin looks, it could be a handy addition to their night-time face care routine.

‘The idea of a night treatment is not new, but the idea of a night treatment product that has cosmetic benefits too, and makes you look better while you’re wearing it, is a real novelty.’

The product has been featured on shopping channel QVC, which carried out the make-up survey, twice this year and sold out within minutes both times.

It can also be bought from Selfridges in London, Manchester and Birmingham and Bare Escentuals Boutiques in Covent Garden, St Albans and Windsor.

Julianne Hough parades her killer figure in crop top and denim skirt

Julianne Hough has a lot going for her - she has a burgeoning Hollywood career, an A-Lister boyfriend, and to top it all she has a killer body that most women would die for.

The 22-year-old rising star paraded her rock hard body on the set of her new movie Rock of Ages yesterday.

She showed off her revealing costume as she made her way to the movie set to film a scene and had a drink to cool down as she walked.

Hough was showing off her sizzling hot figure in a cut up black top, pink bra and denim skirt.

She accessorised with studded cowboy boots and a matching leather fanny pack.

Her long blonde hair was curled into big waves which framed her gorgeous face.

Julianne is currently filming a remake of the classic Eighties movie Rock Of Ages with Tom Cruise, Malin Akerman and Russell Brand.

She has been getting hot and heavy with her other co-star Diego Boneta who she shares several intimate scenes.

The actress had to wrap her legs around Boneta while wearing a bikini and indulged in a passionate kiss - but all for the cameras of course.

This may not have gone down well with her boyfriend, American Idol host and media guru Ryan Seacrest.

So much so that he took time from his busy schedule and flew down to Miami last weekend to spend some time with his lady love.

But it has been reported recently that things are going so well between the pair that he is even thinking about asking her to marry him.

A source told Radaronline that the couple are 'so in love it’s unreal', before adding: 'I have never seen Ryan like this before.

'I’ve seen him with past girlfriends and he has never been like this with them.

'He is literally crazy for her, he absolutely dotes on her and just can’t do enough to make her happy and feel special.'

'Marriage is definitely on the cards. We all thought he was going to propose Valentine’s weekend, but then he didn’t... typical Ryan!

'He wants to do things on his terms and wow everyone, he’s never one to be predictable!'

Irina Shayk goes from flip-flops to heels for her close-up as she sizzles in backless dress

The pressure of looking perfect at all times can be difficult for even the most professional models.

So it was no surprise to see Irina Shayk giving in to the pressure today as she arrived at the FOX studios in New York wearing a pair of black flip-flops, before changing into peep-toe heels for her close-up after having her hair and make-up done.

Regardless of her change in footwear though, Irina looked absolutely stunning in her cap-sleeve pink backless dress which highlighted her incredible figure.

Irina was at the studios for an interview with Good Day New York where she talked about the award she received from the Russian American Foundation for her contributions to the community.

The 25-year-old star accepted the award at the ninth annual Russian Heritage Festival at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York earlier this week.

And just as we thought the Sports Illustrated model was dressing modestly for a change, she shocked her fans with a dangerously low-cut strapless bodice.

The plunging gown left everyone wondering how it stayed upright as she attended the event.

Irina looked lovely in the black sequinned gown though, which was so long that her heels were completely hidden.

The model was born in Yemanzhelinsk, Russia, and attended the event as a tribute of her home country.

The Russian heritage festival explores the diversity of the country’s culture through live performances, crafts and ethnic foods.

Yesterday’s event was part of the month long celebration of the arts and culture of New York’s Russian-speaking immigrants from Former Soviet Union.

Among her achievements, she is the first Russian to ever appear on the cover of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue.

Irina is barely ever seen at public events with her boyfriend Cristiano Ronaldo, but the couple are more than happy to show public displays of affection off the red carpet.

Late last month Irina and the Real Madrid footballer spent a romantic holiday together in Ronaldo’s hometown, Funchal, Madeira.

They had been spending time with the footballer’s family and Cristiano’s little boy Cristiano Jr on the Portuguese island.

Jennifer Metcalfe shows off her fuller figure in a bikini as she films Hollyoaks in Ibiza

Three years ago, Jennifer Metcalfe attracted attention with her worryingly thin frame.

But as she films Hollyoaks in Ibiza, it appears the actress has regained her curves.

Enjoying a break between filming, the brunette beauty, 27, soaked up the sun in an animal-print bikini.

Her shapely figure comes less than a year after she admitted undergoing a £2,000 vaser liposuction procedure to remove excess fat from her upper thigh and bottom area.

Following the procedure, Jennifer dropped from a dress size of 10 to 12 around her hips to a size six to eight.

And, speaking recently, the 27-year-old insisted she is proud of her decision to undergo the procedure, and is now happy with her curves.

She said: 'I think surgery is a really personal decision that only you can make.

'If there's something on your body you really don't like, it doesn't matter if your mother doesn't see it or your boyfriend doesn't see it - it's what you feel comfortable with.'

Meanwhile, joining Metcalfe in Ibiza was her Dancing On Ice partner boyfriend Sylvain Longchambon, 30, the couple lay side-by-side on the warm sand.

And despite the sunny weather when the photos were taken, Metcalfe complained the weather had been unusually bad for a majority of her stay on the island.
 
So when the weather was bad, she's been hitting the hotel gym to train for an upcoming 10k run.

She Tweeted: 'Grey skies and p**sing it down so just did 75mins on treadmill!!

'Sunshine...? Ya kiddin??? Its awful.'

But Metcalfe did manage a wild night out with her Hollyoaks co-stars, describing it as 'carnage'.

Despite the fun she was having, there was plenty of work too for the actress, who is having to wear a prosthetic belly for her role as pregnant Mercedes Fisher.

The feisty barmaid is having a baby with footballer fiancé Riley Costello (Rob Norbury) - despite her on/off affair with his father Carl (Paul Opacic).

Wearing a tiny yellow dress over her baby bump, Mercedes looked uncomfortable as she chatted on the beach with her on-screen mother Myra - played by Nicole Barber-Lane.

Pamela Anderson lingerie pictures shows the ageing star got a bit of much needed help

Pamela Anderson is 43, has two children, and by all accounts does not look bad for her age.

But, new photographs showing the former Baywatch star in a variety of poses in revealing lingerie, shows that she may have had more than a little help from an airbrush.

The former Playboy model turned actress is promoting the underwear for European lingerie company Bonita De Mas.

But the images show the actress with very taut, clear skin and without a hint of cellulite - when other more natural pictures have shown that she does suffer from the dreaded orange peel.

Pamela sways and gyrates while the camera clicks away, catching the star in various positions.

She shows off a wide range of the company's underwear collections including a black lace two piece with matching dressing gown.

With her long blonde tresses curled into waves and a heavy face of make-up, Pamela pouts her way through the shoot.

In one of the images, Pamela recreates the Marilyn Monroe pose in a white halter neck dress that is being blow up.

But unlike the Fifties icon who covered up her modesty, Pamela flashed a bit of her red underwear and the top of her stockings.

Bonita De Mas is a Parisian lingerie designer and the underwear line and it's website gives a distinct description of its line.

It is caricaturised 'by a blend of French elegance with colourful touches of Latin Mediterranean style to create an amazing sensual collection,' the site says.

One person who will not be complaining about how much she has been airbrushed is Pamela's new boyfriend Jon Rose.

The pair were seen publicly smooching while watching a tango show in Argentina earlier this week.

They have been dating for a few months and the professional surfer and environmentalist could not seem to get enough of the actress.

She has been spending a lot of time in the South American country as she takes part in their version of Dancing With The Stars, called Bailando por un Sueño.

Pamela had also starred in the U.S. version and the regular dance training has certainly kept her legs in great shape.

But she has also credited her two sons Brandon, 15, and Dylan, 13, for helping keep her trim.

She said: 'My kids keep me in shape. I play every sport with them - football, basketball, baseball.

'I'm always outside and on the beach and in the water and I'm not a real gym person.

'I don't do the gym and I don't diet. I'm vegetarian but I don't diet.'

Pamela has had a rocky love life over the years so she is surely hoping that this latest relationship works out.

She was married to Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee, the father of her two boys, in 1995 after only knowing him for 96 hours.

They then filed for divorce twice before reconciling twice but broke up permanently in 2000.

Pamela married Kid Rock in July 2006 but filed for divorce from just four months later.

In October 2007, Pamela married Rick Salomon but after the couple separated two months later she asked the courts to annul the marriage citing fraud. She was also engaged to model Marcus Schenkenberg.

Cheryl Cole puts twenty outfits up for sale in online charity auction

She's a style icon and has earned her rightful place on many a Best Dressed list.

And now Cheryl Cole is giving fans a chance to own a small part of her wardrobe.

The former ex-Factor judge is partnering up with retailer ASOS to sell twenty outfits in an online auction to raise funds for her charity.

The sale, starting on Monday, comes after Cheryl set up her own charity in association with the Prince's Trust.

Cheryl said:'As we are still in the early planning stages for my Foundation, we’re still working out what the fundraising events will be.

'However, when I was clearing out my wardrobe it occurred to me that the clothes I was bagging up for charity could now benefit my own charity, which is really how the idea for the clothes auction started.'

It is thought the pieces will sell for much more than their retail value, especially given the controversy surrounding the singer's sudden exit from the X-Factor last month.

The Cheryl Cole Foundation is dedicated to supporting projects in the North East spearheaded by youth charity The Prince’s Trust.

It is raising funds to help disadvantaged young people from the region where Cheryl was born.

To launch the auction, ten looks will be released on Monday, followed by one new release on each week day of the sale.

For each item, ASOS Marketplace is running a ‘lowest unique bid’ auction.

The lowest unmatched bid received – per item of clothing – will win the auction for that individual piece.

All proceeds raised through the clothes auction will be matched by ASOS  – doubling the amount raised.

The money will be donated in full to the Cheryl Cole Foundation and distributed by The Prince’s Trust to projects in the North East determined by the Foundation to be the most in need of financial support.

Outfits include personally-selected pieces from Cheryl Cole’s wardrobe, some of which have created the most recognisable looks throughout her solo career, including three Herve Leger bandage dresses, the  Philip Lim multi-colour playsuit she wore on the X-Factor, and a plunging Roberto Cavalli dress.

Lily Allen and Sam Cooper arrive for final rehearsal ahead of their weekend wedding

Lily Allen couldn't hide her excitement yesterday as she arrived for the final rehearsal ahead of her wedding this weekend to fiancé Sam Cooper.

The 26-year-old singer looked radiant as she arrived at St James the Great church in Cranham, Gloucestershire, for some final preparations before her big day.

Wearing a pretty blue dress, beige cardigan and green wedges, Lily clutched a folder as she made her way into the venue where she will become Mrs Sam Cooper later today.

Painter and decorator Sam, meanwhile, went for a more laid-back look in jeans, a black jumper and brown shoes.

The couple were met at the venue by Lily's father Keith Allen, who entertained his family with a song on the ukulele, before they did a run-through in the church with their vicar.

Lily and Sam are thought to be going for a traditional English wedding, judging by their save-the-date card sent earlier this year which featured a mock-up of the couple on the back of a tractor.

And, in preparations for the wedding this weekend, staff at the church were seen loading buckets of plants and flowers into the church.

The couple's wedding invitation was also revealed - a simple design featuring a pencil drawing of the church on the front and a blue ribbon down the side.

It is understood that the newlyweds will then throw a lavish reception for 300 in the garden of Lily’s country bolthole near Stroud.

Lily will be wearing a gown designed by Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel for the occasion.

The road which runs past the tiny church and surrounding public footpaths will be closed by police from 7.30am to around 1pm, with only the wedding party, guests and residents allowed through.

One resident said the couple are hoping to enjoy an English country wedding.

‘She is very generously going to use the village choir,’ she said.

‘She wants to have a typical village wedding. She is very sweet.

'She has come to the village and is asking for help where she needs it. We hope it goes well.’

The church is expected to host guests such as Glastonbury boss Michael Eavis, and actress Jaime Winstone.

T4 presenter Miquita Oliver, a childhood friend of the star, will be one of the bridesmaids, with Lily's sister Sarah also expected to be part of the wedding party.

And it seems Lily is more than a little excited about her big day.

Asked on Twitter by Claudia Winkleman how she was feeling, Lily tweeted back: 'I'm GREAT, I'm getting MARRIED EEEEEK !!!!!'

Lily and Sam have been together since July 2009 but they've been friends for years.

In the past Lily has described Sam as the "love of her life, saying: 'Sam treats me differently. He's told me he'll look after me forever.

'That's what I've always wanted - someone to look after me.

'We've never had one argument and there's nothing about him that annoys me.'

Kate Moss and pals arrive at the Isle Of Wight Festival for the world's coolest hen do

Kate Moss last night arrived at the Isle Of Wight Festival for what will be arguably the coolest hen do ever.

The 37-year-old model, who is engaged to Jamie Hince, the frontman of The Kills, donned skintight leather trousers as she arrived at the annual music event with friends including Jade Jagger and Samantha Morton.

Sadie Frost and Meg Matthew were also believed to be at the festival for Kate's hen do.

After making her grand entrance, Kate and her pals headed backstage on the back of a golf buggy to catch the best of the night's musical entertainment.

Festival promoted John Giddings revealed earlier in the day that Kate was having a hen do themed around Channel 4 show Big Fat Gypsy Weddings.

He told Absolute Radio, who are broadcasting from the event, broke the news but admitted it was meant to be a secret.

Describing the hen do, he said: 'The big fat gypsy wedding. Apparently that's the theme. Apparently she's going to be dressed up like that.'

But he then added: 'I might have made it up and you believed it.'

A total of 75,000 revellers are converging on the island for the 10th anniversary of the festival which reincarnated the legendary events of the late 1960s.

This year's headliners are Kings of Leon, Foo Fighters, Kasabian and newly-reformed Pulp.

One of the acts to take to the stage this evening included Alexandra Burke, who performed a selection of her tracks wearing a pair of tiny white hotpants, basque and fitted lace jacket.

Yesterday, Alexandra wrote on her Twitter page: 'Isle Of Wight Festival tomorrow. I AM SO SO EXCITED!!!!!'

She then tweeted a picture of herself backstage at the event wearing a pretty denim dress and high tan wedges.

Other acts include Liam Gallagher's new band Beady Eye, which he formed after splitting from Oasis, Kaiser Chiefs, Iggy and the Stooges and Eliza Doolittle.

Giddings said he chose a line-up with a more contemporary feel than previous years which have featured 'retro' headliners such as Paul McCartney, the Rolling Stones, David Bowie and The Who.

He said: 'We have had The Beatles (Paul McCartney) and the Stones and I came to the answer that for our 10th anniversary we should come into the 21st century and grow up.

'The Foo Fighters and Kings of Leon are the two biggest rock bands around at the moment and Kasabian have taken up the mantle from Oasis now that they've split up - these are the bands of the future.'

He said there were still other legendary acts he would like to appear but had been unable to book so far.

He said: 'I would love to get Bruce Springsteen, Pink Floyd; I ask Bob Dylan every year but he never replies.'

Despite his claim to have moved on to 'young' bands, his line-up includes Pulp, originally formed by Jarvis Cocker 33 years ago, and Foo Fighters, which are led by Dave Grohl, the drummer from early-90s grunge rockers Nirvana.

Geoff Lloyd, DJ for Absolute Radio said: '2011 is an extra special year for the Isle of Wight Festival and we'll all be there to celebrate its 10th birthday in style.'

Hampshire police will be targeting the sales of both illegal drugs and 'legal highs' at the event.

Inspector Terry Clawson said: 'Tens of thousands of people in one place gives us similar challenges to policing any busy town or community.

'We'll be using tried and tested tactics to help people stay safe while they have a good time in this festival neighbourhood over the next four days.'

He added: 'It's also important to remember sales of so-called 'legal highs' are banned at the festival. If reports of any sales are received, security stewards and the police will take action.'

Beaming Kelly looks delighted with her new Brook as she goes blonde for summer

She's had a very difficult year after losing her baby when she was nearly five months pregnant.

But it seems Kelly Brook is slowly starting to piece her life back together after her tragic loss, judging by pictures of the model out in London yesterday.

The 31-year-old star beamed for photographers as she emerged from a hair salon after treating herself to a new look.

Clearly hoping for a new 'do for summer, Kelly spent a couple of hours in the hairdresser's seat to get highlights and transform her locks from a dark brunette to a caramel brown.

Wearing a pair of on-trend coloured jeans in a candy pink colour, teamed with a denim jacket, white top and plimsolls, Kelly looked happy and relaxed on her day out.

Kelly's outing comes just a week after she took to Twitter to promise fans she would 'be back soon' after months of silence following her miscarriage.

She was just under five months pregnant with a baby girl when she suffered the tragic loss in early May.

The news came just six weeks after her shock announcement she was expecting a child with former rugby player Thom Evans.

The couple had been dating for less than four months when Brook announced she was pregnant.

Following a month-long break from the micro-blogging site as she tried to come to terms with her loss, Brook returned to Twitter last week.

She wrote: 'Thank you everyone for your lovely messages, it means so much. I will be back soon xxxxxx.'

Since her miscarriage, Brook has been recovering at home in Kent with boyfriend Evans and her mother Sandra Parsons.

After announcing her pregnancy in March, Brook admitted it was unplanned but believed she had found 'the one' in 26-year-old Evans - a former teammate of her most recent ex-boyfriend Danny Cipriani.

She said: 'That is what happens when you are in love - you surrender to whatever is to be. It wasn't a plan, but if it happened, it happened. We were boyfriend and girlfriend.'

Coleen Rooney shows off her curves in a yellow bikini

Coleen Rooney today took to Twitter to deny reports she is expecting her second child after photos emerged of her looking curvy on the beach in Barbados.

However, the 25-year-old star tweeted fans that she is not pregnant, and is actually proud of her womanly figure.

She wrote on her Twitter page: 'Another lovely day in Barbados! And no am not pregnant! Cant i breath out and relax on holiday without a pregnancy rumour!#AmnoskinnyMinnie!'

Coleen was seen today showing off her figure in a bright yellow two-piece as she holidayed in Barbados with husband Wayne Rooney.

The mother-of-one, who is also on holiday with her 18-month-old son Kai basked in the sunshine on a sunlounger at the exclusive Sandy Lane resort before having a dip in the sea to cool off.

Meanwhile, Wayne was staying safe in the sun by staying out of direct sunlight and wearing a baseball cap after his recent hair transplant, perhaps after reading advice from experts that too much sun exposure after the operation could cause the grafts to fail or even change the colour of the hair to make the plugs more noticeable.

Talking about the effects of sun on transplant patients, transplant surgeon Dr Bessam Farjo explained: 'It's dangerous. Men can't feel the scalp burn.'

Earlier today, Wayne treated fans to a glimpse of his scalp which appears to be healing well after the operation.

He tweeted: 'The new hair is coming on people. Swelling gone down #hairwego .'

Wayne and Coleen have also been meeting fans during their time on holiday.

Today Wayne told his fans on Twitter: 'Some man about 50 just asked me for an autograph on the beach. And then started crying his eyes out. Wow. Emotional people.'

Meanwhile, despite the designer bikinis, Coleen was keeping it real when she and Wayne went out to dinner last night as her parents looked after baby Kai.

She posted a picture of herself on her Twitter page wearing one of her own designs for catalogue firm Littlewoods.

She wrote: 'Just leaving for dinner in barbados in my Coleen (littlewoods) dress!!!;

Coleen visits Barbados several times a year, while Wayne only get to fly to the Caribbean in between football seasons.

It's the first time they've returned to the island as a couple since Wayne was embroiled in scandal last September when he was reported to have slept with two prostitutes while Coleen was pregnant with Kai.

While the WAG has enjoyed a few vacations since the furore, they've only holidayed together once since, last October.

Wayne and Coleen left Kai in the care of her parents to enjoy a week long break at the seven star Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai.

The couple jetted off to the £2,000-a-night hotel after Wayne secured a huge payrise after threatening to leave Manchester United.

The Rooneys have been fond of Barbados for years and built a £5million house on the island's 500-acre Royal Westmoreland development last year.

The six bedroom villa comes with an infinity pool and breathtaking sea views from the bedroom, and the living room areas.

Other familiar celebrity faces with holiday homes on Barbados includes ex-boxing champion Joe Calzaghe, Wayne's team-mate Rio Ferdinand, Gary Lineker, cricketer Freddie Flintoff, and TV hosts Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly.

No nudity, says Katy Perry

Singer Katy Perry says she is not shy about showing off her skin, but she doesn't enjoy going nude either.

"I like to play (the sexy) card because it's fun and definitely in my deck, but I like to tease," people.com quoted Perry as saying.

"I'm like a burlesque girl. I definitely won't be doing a Playboy spread, but I will be doing a kind of Dita Von Teese style," she added.

The singer says she feels more confident ever since she tied the knot with British comedian Russell Brand last month.

"I'm confident in my skin I guess, lately. I think that when you're in a supportive relationship, you don't care anymore about outside. Things that may have irked you before don't matter because you found someone who loves you no matter what," she said.

Prashant Narayanan, whose hot videos from " Bhindi Bazar" has been topping the popularity charts says he thinks he is sexier than Emraan Hashmi on screen

Your leaked sex scenes from "Bhindi Bazar" have been getting a lot of online hits. Was it very difficult to shoot those scenes?
It was very difficult man. She was wearing too many clothes. I just chanced upon the link. There's a lot of kissing in the video. The video is steamy and we both looking hot.

Do u think on-screen you are sexier than Emraan?
Definitely, so.

Will you then be taking over the tag the Bollywood's serial-kisser tag from Emraan?
Facebooks have tags. I want to take over the tag of being an actor who makes a sensible choice of films.

What's it that you find hot in a woman?
I think if a woman can exude love and lust together without making it too external, then that is hot. I find three women who are very hot. They are Deepti Naval, Vedita Pratap Singh and Shilpa Shukla.

What's the steamist sex scene that you have watched in movies?
I think some of the celebrity sex videos, including that of Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian and Pamela Anderson are hot.

Do you think video leaks help in a film's publicity?
Well, our country runs on mediocre films, plots, actors, scripts, sleaze. So, anything to turn on an unsuspecting public and to cheat a person of their hard earned money works. Of course, for a lot of people who have the power of the internet with them, this is a great chance to see a lot of things that an aam public may not get to see. So, it's definitely helpful. If the video does not end in being beneficial for the film, then it is not good. But if it is, I am happy.

So, is this leaked video good or not?
Yes, it is.

Is it true that you the surprise package of Murder 2?
I am not the surprise package but the shock factor of "Murder 2".

Stewart cuts wrist during taping of Weiner skit

The story about U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner's use of Twitter to send a lewd photo to a woman has been awkward for comic Jon Stewart, a friend of the congressman's. On Tuesday, it proved painful.

Stewart broke a glass and gashed his wrist while taping a Weiner skit on Comedy Central's "The Daily Show." The taping was briefly stopped so a bleeding Stewart could get medical attention, then resumed after he was bandaged up. Network spokesman Steve Albani said the accident was left in Tuesday's show.

Stewart and Weiner briefly roomed together when they were younger, a point "The Daily Show" host noted over the past week. That hasn't stopped Stewart from making fun of his friend, who admitted Monday to inappropriate online contact with women he met on social networks.

Tuesday's skit featured Stewart in a mock news conference designed to resemble Weiner's from the day earlier. Stewart broke the glass when the script called for him to make a margarita.

The show posted a picture of Stewart's bandaged wrist and a bloodstained cuff of his shirt.

Brigitte Nielsen had fling with Arnold Schwarzenegger

Brigitte Nielsen has come out of the woodwork to spill some beans about Arnold Schwarzenegger. The Danish actress told the UK’s Daily Mail that the two were involved while working on the set of the 1985 movie Red Sonja. Schwarzenegger was dating Maria Shriver at the time.

“How serious it was with [Maria], I don’t know,’’ Nielsen told The Mail. “He never spoke about her, and the way he was living his life with me, I felt I was the only one. Then I realized about him and Maria and, wow, I felt cheated. Maybe I wouldn’t have got into it if he said, ‘I’m going to marry Maria and this is dead serious,’ but he didn’t, and our affair carried on.’’

New attitude

Has Michelle Williams found love again? The actress is reportedly with Jane Eyre director Cary Fukunaga , reports PopSugar.com. They were photographed looking like a couple near her Brooklyn home.

No holds barred

Couric, 54, didn’t hold back when discussing two newsmakers. Of Sarah Palin: “She makes good copy and so they cover her incessantly and maybe more than they actually should.”

And Donald Trump: “He actually can be a very, very nice person with a good heart. But I think he was just acting like a jackass for a while.’’

Fashion plate

Lady Gaga had some issues Monday night after accepting her award as top fashion icon during the Council of Fashion Designers of America awards.

He’s bad news

We’ve seen reality villains before, but Bentley Williams is one for the books. The Bachelorette contestant quit the ABC show Monday, telling star Ashley Hebert that he missed his daughter.

The truth? The Tampa native wasn’t interested in Hebert at all. When she wept when he told her he was leaving, his voiceover rolled, “It’s so annoying to hold a girl who is crying, crying. crying.’’ Williams also said behind her back that Ashley was an “ugly duckling.”

Even host Chris Harrison was shocked, blogging: “This [guy] is different and it is nothing to joke about.’’
