Heartbreak for 'devastated' Kelly Brook as she loses baby girl

By SARA NATHAN

Devastation: Kelly Brook has been left heartbroken after losing her baby girl at nearly five months


Kelly Brook has been left ‘devastated’ after losing the baby girl she was expecting with her boyfriend Thom Evans.

The striking model, 31, who was nearly five months pregnant, was rushed to hospital at the end of last week, but tragically suffered a miscarriage.

Miss Brook had announced she was pregnant after just three months of dating former rugby union international Evans.


Heartbreak: The baby was the first for Kelly and boyfriend Thom Evans


This evening, Miss Brook was resting at her farmhouse in Kent and a spokesman for the star told the Daily Mail: ‘I can confirm that Kelly and Thom have very sadly lost their baby.

‘They request that everyone please respects their privacy at this very painful time.
‘There will be no further comment.’

A friend said: ‘Kelly is understandably devastated, she’s at home and she’s being looked after by Thom and her mum Sandra.

‘There’s nothing you can say to anyone at a time like this – she just needs to be allowed some time alone to grieve.’


Resting: Kelly, seen in Los Angeles earlier this month, is now with her family in Kent



Trauma: Kelly looked happy and excited as she was spotted at her family home in Kent last month

Cher Lloyd gets butterflies as she unveils her new

By GEORGINA LITTLEJOHN

New look: Cher Lloyd unveiled her new butterflies tattoo on Twitter this weekend - and new hair extensions in Miami last week


She already has an assortment of tattoos scattered across her person.

But Cher Lloyd clearly thought that seven was just not enough as she unveiled a new inking this weekend.

The X Factor contestant showed off some new designs on her right arm, an extension of one she already had.


New etchings: Cher showed off her butterflies, added to a bird that she had done two months ago in tribute of her late uncle


The 17-year-old posted a black and white photo on her Twitter page of her arm, which had been inked with five butterflies.

They were joined by a question mark and a peace sign, as she added to the bird carrying a ribbon that she already had.

On the ribbon is the word 'Boo', a tribute to her late uncle Edward 'Boo Boo' Smith, who died last September after being tricked into taking a heroin substitute.

In an interview last year, Lloyd admitted: 'I’m not even old enough to have a tattoo, but I have three. I know it’s naughty.'


Paying tribute: Cher had a bird flying from a cage done in March, which she added the butterflies to


Cher already has a bow on her back, musical note on her left hand and Spanish phrase on her right arm which reads Bolsillo Lleno De Suenos' - which means 'pocketful of dreams'

In January, she then got song lyrics on her left arm - 'All That You Have Is Your Soul' - lyrics from a Tracy Chapman song of the same name, and an image of a large diamond on her right hand


The red has gone: Cher has got rid of her fiery locks for a more sophisticated colour


Tattoo fan: Cher also has a diamond on her right hand and song lyrics on her left arm


Cher also unveiled a new hairstyle as she landed in Miami last week, where she had the tattoo done and where she is believed to be working on her debut album.

The long brown hair extensions come a month after she ditched her fiery red locks for a sleek dark bob, which she added too with caramel and blond extensions.


More etchings: She also has a musical note on her left hand and a Spanish phrase on her right forearm



Not enough: She even has a bow inked on her lower back

Russell Brand is not such a sex god in his ghastly white Y-fronts

By SARAH FITZMAURICE

Tighty-whities: Russell Brand parades around in his pants at his hotel in Miami


He proudly boasts about having had sex up to 20 times a week with a gaggle of beautiful woman in his heyday before marrying Katy Perry.

But reformed lothario Russell Brand looked a far cry from his old, leather-trousers-and-teased-hair self today in Miami.

The comic actor paraded around in a pair of unflattering white Y-front pants during rehearsals for his upcoming film Rock Of Ages.


Pretty in pink: Russell Brand in a pair of lilac harem pants as he takes a stroll on the boardwalk in Miami


At one point the 35-year-old put his hand down the back of his underwear as he gazed at his phone.

His revealing attire put Russell's pasty white, gangly body on display.

His appearance by the hotel pool harked back to Rhys Ifans' infamous scene in Notting Hill, where he poses for photographers in his grey pants.

Perhaps Brand thought his tighty-whities were preferable to the lilac harem trousers he was sporting earlier in the day.


Snap happy: It wasn't long before fans spotted the Arthur actor and Brand obliges by posing for a picture


Russell, who is married to pop princess Katy Perry, decided he couldn’t keep his pantaloons to himself and strutted his stuff on the boardwalk in Miami clearly in the Spring mood.

And wearing the statement trousers meant he was quickly spotted by some fans with whom he happily obliged posed for pictures.

Yesterday Brand started his day in a pair of super-short exercise shorts as he greeted the morning taking in the view from the balcony of his waterfront rented property.


What's so funny? As the girls walk off they are giggling. Was it excitement at meeting Brand or because of his silly trousers?


Didn't fancy footwear? Brand changes to a pair of white trousers but opts to liberate his feet from shoes



Taking the plunge: In New Zealand, Brand's wife Katy Perry braves a bungee jump before her concert


He tweeted: 'Where can I do stand up in LA please? A bit folky and lo fi where food is not served and people are gentle? Much love.'

While Brand is soaking up the sunshine in Miami, his wife Katy Perry is in New Zealand on her California Dreams tour.

The singer braved a bungee jump ahead of her concert tonight, tweeting a picture of her in mid-jump.

The big day was a week ago, but for the brands Kate wore, celebrations are only just beginning

By LIZ JONES

Sell out: Demand has surged for bridal dresses like the Alexander McQueen gowns Kate wore


All eyes have swivelled to the new Duchess of Cambridge to take up the baton and help our fashion industry limp out of the recession.

Becoming the unofficial style ambassador is the best job Kate can be doing for our morale and the economy.

But every brand (and they were all British) involved in the wedding, in however small a way, has seen sales go through the roof.

By far the biggest surge in orders has come from the U.S. We can expect these to increase when Kate goes there on her first official tour in the summer.


In demand: The perfumee Kate wore was Illuminum's White Gardenia Petals


THE FRAGRANCE
On her wedding day, Kate wore White Gardenia Petals from Illuminum, created by British ‘nose’ Michael Boadi.

The clean, fresh scent has a note of coconut bursting into ylang ylang, lily of the valley and jasmine, with amber wood as the base note.

Demand is so high there is a waiting list of customers longing to smell like the royal bride.

White Gardenia Petals costs £70 and is available exclusively from roullierwhite.com

THE EARRINGS
While Kate’s tiara was made by Cartier and borrowed from the Queen, her stunning earrings were a gift from her parents.

The diamond-set oak leaves with a pear diamond drop and pave-set diamond acorn were inspired by the new Middleton coat of arms.


Unavailable: Robinson Pelham won't be making anymore earrings like the Duchess', despite requests


BRIDESMAID DRESSES
Having designed children’s wear for 30 years, Marlborough-based Nicki Macfarlane is renowned for her exquisite outfits for bridesmaids and pageboys. She made the four young bridesmaids’ dresses: ballerina length, box-pleated ivory silk satin gazar, layered over organza, wild silk and petticoats.

They were handmade in Wiltshire and Kent, given an English lace trim and embroidered with the child’s name.



Pretty: The young bridesmaids, pictured with Maid of Honour Pippa Middleton in an Alexander McQueen design, wore handmade dresses by Nicki Macfarlane while their shoes were by the Rainbow Club


BRIDESMAID SHOES
Rainbow Club, based in Exeter, has been designing, making and hand-dyeing wedding shoes since the mid-Eighties.

Kate’s bridesmaids wore classic Mary Janes in satin, embellished with a Swarovski crystal buckle. Sales manager Richard Coles says: ‘We’ve been run off our feet, with people calling from all over Europe and the U.S.’

Why did Kate choose this little firm of 30 employees?

‘For the quality. We guarantee we will dye a shoe to match the exact colour of the dress. The Royal Wedding shoes were a special shade of ivory.’

Children’s bridesmaid shoes start at £30, rainbowclub.co.uk


THE HATS

Vivien Sheriff is a milliner who has her atelier in a decidedly unglamorous farm building in Wiltshire.

She made the famous fascinator worn by Kate on her first royal engagement in February, and was commissioned by 53 guests to make bespoke pieces.

Every piece is handmade by a team of six. An elaborate headpiece can cost up to £1,000. Since the wedding, online sales have doubled.


Best foot forward: Kate stepped into married life wearing LKBennett wedges


'The Kate': The shoes have been re-issued in her name

COURT SHOE WEDGES

The day after the wedding, Kate teamed a wintry blue Zara dress with a cropped black blazer and LK Bennett Greta wedges, £150. This prompted the chain to reissue the style, renaming it the Kate. It will be available in June, but already has a waiting list.

The Kate effect has meant sales of all wedges have soared at Topshop, Hobbs and even Christian Louboutin.

Is that really workout wear? X Factor USA judge Cheryl Cole visits celeb gym

By SARAH FITZMAURICE

Jumping for joy? Cheryl Cole was seen leaving Tracy Anderson's gym in L.A. yesterday wearing unusual workout attire and performing a number of bizarre movements as she left the gym


She has just landed one of the biggest gigs in showbusiness as judge on the U.S. version of the X Factor so Cheryl Cole could be forgiven for jumping for joy.

But as she left celebrity trainer Tracy Anderson’s gym yesterday she was quite literally doing just that - which made for a bizarre sight indeed especially because of what she was wearing.

The petite singer, who is said to have asked her brother Garry to move to America with her, ran down the steps of the gym in Studio City and performed a series of jumps pulling her knees up high to finish off her workout.


What are you wearing? The singer raced down the steps of the gym before jumping into the air. Cheryl had decided to wear a striped navy jump a pair of camel coloured baggy trousers and a pair of aviators


While her warmdown exercises may have seemed slightly unorthodox her clothing for the gym was much more curious.

Cheryl had chosen a pair of camel coloured pants and a striped navy jumper, which seemed an odd choice for the gym session and the effects of the workout could clearly be seen on the top which appeared drenched in sweat.

In fact the jumper was the same one Cheryl had worn during her flight from London to LA on Friday.


Hello USA! Cheryl arrived into LAX on Friday with her brother Garry by her side to ensure she doesn't get homesick. The auditions for the show start today


The 23-year-old will be living with the singer at her beachside hotel so she doesn’t miss home too much.

Cheryl has admitted: ‘I’m a really homely person. I miss home when I’m only away for a few days,’ The Sunday Mirror reported.

The Geordie singer’s appointment was confirmed on Thursday alongside Cowell and LA Reid as a judge on the U.S. version of the show – ending months of speculation.


Big shot: Cheryl has been given a £1.2million deal as a judge on the X Factor but is said to have been given just a year to make an impression on the American audience


The singer has landed a one-year, £1.2 million ‘make or break’ contract to appear on the new show and has a year to really make a name for herself stateside.

Cole’s deal is actually for three years – but producers have written in a get-out clause so they can dump her if she fails to win over US viewers.

There has already been some concern that her Geordie accent could prove baffling for the Americans but Cowell has said that Fox bosses back her all along.

Cole – who has been a judge on the British version of the show since2008 – said she ‘couldn’t wait to get started’ on the transatlantic version. ‘I absolutely love it in the UK and with the talent they have in America I am sure we’re going to find someone very special.'


Bye Bye U.K.: Cheryl was seen at London Heathrow on Friday in her striped navy jumper, which she wore to the gym yesterday, and a pair of beige trousers ahead of her flight to LAX

Was a 3am balcony leap the reason Prince Harry looked a tad under par at the Abbey?

By CHARLOTTE GRIFFITHS

Best foot forward: Prince Harry arrives at Westminster Abbey... but is said to have hurt his ankle eight hours earlier after leaping from the Goring Hotel veranda


As he stood at his brother’s side in Westminster Abbey waiting for the bride to arrive, Prince Harry drew more than a few questioning glances.

Despite his smart military uniform, the young Royal appeared a little jaded, with his hair askew and a definite look of someone who had not had enough sleep.

Now a possible answer to the question of why Harry seemed a touch under par on Royal Wedding day has emerged.


Unusual exit: How Harry is said to have left the Goring Hotel hours before his appearance as best man at his brother's wedding


Sources have revealed that the best man was out socialising until 3am – eight hours before the wedding.

And he is said to have left the party venue with an athletic leap from a balcony which saw him land awkwardly on one ankle.

The scene of the raucous goings-on was The Goring, the hotel which the Middleton family had taken over in the days before the wedding on Friday, April 29.

On the Thursday evening, a group of the young Royal circle had congregated in a bar there and were enjoying themselves heartily.

The festivities came to an end only at 3am when a young copper-haired reveller casually jumped off a veranda balcony, landing with a clumsy thump on a lawn 6ft below – to roars of laughter from his friends.


Proud moment: Prince Harry accompanies his big brother down the aisle for the wedding


According to sources, that reveller was the athletic Harry, whose looming day of duty had not stopped him sharing a few drinks with friends.

An onlooker said: ‘Harry was with Pippa Middleton and Chelsy Davy among other friends for some pre-wedding drinks.

'He was the life and soul of the party until the early hours.

‘People were surprised to see him there so late before one of the biggest wedding days of the decade, and even more surprised when he jumped off the balcony – and landed with a thump.

'He had struggled to climb up the railings to get into position, so when he jumped over the edge he did so rather unsteadily and landed awkwardly next to a flower bed.

‘He flinched for just a moment before he stood up, rubbing his ankle. Then he looked up, smiled and waved to a roar of cheers before disappearing on to the lawn where there was a secret exit.

‘People were laughing and joking that his fall could have seen him walking through Westminster Abbey the following morning with a broken leg. At one point it was thought he’d twisted his ankle.

A spokesman said: ‘Prince Harry had a private dinner with his brother, Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall. What he did after that is a private matter.’

William larks around on a boat in Ibiza with Kate and the Middleton clan in never-before-seen pictures

By MAIL ON SUNDAY REPORTER

Athletic in Ibiza: Pippa Middleton performs a flawless backflip in to the warm waters of the Mediterranean as an admiring Kate looks on from the stern of the motor yacht


They were carefree days before the world became entranced by their every movement.

This is Kate Middleton and her sister Pippa as they've never been seen before, enjoying an exuberant holiday in Ibiza with their family and Prince William.

Taken in 2006, these previously unseen pictures capture a fleeting moment in the lives of the couple when they could behave like ordinary twentysomethings, unencumbered by the responsibilities they now carry as the new stars of the Royal Family.



Playful: Pippa climbs back aboard as William jokingly grabs Kate; right, the sisters relax on deck, with Kate using her camera


Sunshine days: William, in red shorts, with Pippa (left), Carole, in green bikini, and other holiday guests


They show the Prince larking around with Kate and Pippa, the girls' mother Carole and their brother James on a boat belonging to Carole's brother Gary Goldsmith during a week-long sunshine holiday to Ibiza.

Pippa shows off her athletic prowess -- and her enviably toned physique -- performing a backwards dive into the sea.

Kate, who also looks stunning in her white bikini, is content to stand back and watch.


Heir in the air: Watched by Carole, Kate, James (in the patterned shorts) and Pippa, William attempts a backflip from the boat...


... but the young royal finishes with an ungainly belly-flop into the water


Making waves: The Prince failed to match Pippa's graceful aquatic display


Carole, who won admiration at the wedding for her elegant appearance, also reveals a youthfully trim figure in an emerald green bikini.

Meanwhile, in his red swimming shorts, William could be any young man eager to impress his girlfriend by performing a backflip -- which somehow turns into a belly-flop by the time he hits the water.


Her Royal Hotness: Pippa in her bridesmaid's dress at her sister's wedding


The pictures reveal the extent to which the Middletons invited William into the heart of their family.

During their week in Ibiza, they stayed at Gary's £5million villa, dubbed 'La Maison de Bang Bang'.

Dressed down day? Katie Holmes opts for casual comfort shopping day

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Casual Katie: Mrs Tom Cruise enjoyed a dressed down day yesterday as she hit the shops in LA yesterday


On Thursday evening she had looked every inch the Hollywood starlet as she graced the red carpet at an awards ceremony – but yesterday was clearly a dress down day for Katie Holmes.

The actress took in a spot of shopping at Barney’s in Beverly Hills wearing a pair of skinny jeans a pink vest top and flat pumps, a much more casual look compared to her polished appearance the night before.

Katie appeared to have forgone any makeup and had her hair scraped up into a messy top bun.

The mother–of-one perused the show section of the store enjoying a some alone time retail therapy.

Katie had taken centre stage the night before as her husband Tom Cruise was honoured by the Simon Wiesenthal Centre.


Polished and preened to casual and comfy: Katie looked stunning on Thursday night at an event honouring her husband while she opted for comfort yesterday


The 32-year-old actress looked stunning in the black dress with green sash, which she teamed with black sandals, as she posed with Cruise outside the event.

However, it was inside the event that Holmes really stood out from the crowd, as she glowed while applauding the honorees at the ceremony.

The couple were also accompanied by Cruise's 16-year-old adopted son Connor as the Mission: Impossible actor was presented with the Humanitarian Award - the highest honour bestowed by the Simon Wiesenthal Centre, a Jewish rights organisation which also educates people about the Nazi Holocaust.


Too much choice? The 32-year-old actress looked at shoes and enjoyed some alone time in the Barneys store in Beverly Hills


Cruise, who played a German military officer who planned an assassination of Adolf Hitler in the 2008 film Valkyrie, was honoured for his support of the organisation throughout his life.

Absent from the ceremony was the couple's five-year-old daughter Suri, who is perhaps too young for such an occasion.


Late night? The mother-of-one appeared tired as she made her way around the store. The night before she had joined Tom at a party


Despite reports that she and her husband are planning to have more children, Holmes recently insisted that she is happy with the size of her family.

She also said that Cruise and ex-wife Nicole Kidman's adopted children Connor and 18-year-old Isabella get on incredibly well with Suri.



Red carpet royalty: Katie was looking picture perfect at the Simon Wiesenthal Center's Annual National Tribute Dinner on Thursday evening


She said: 'They're great kids, a great brother and a great sister to Suri, and she's a great sister to them. It's not, "This is stepmotherhood and this is motherhood".

'I'm not worried about it (having another baby). She's got really good friends and great cousins, so I feel happy about it.

'We have a really busy household, and it's really fun and fulfilling. There's always something going on.'

Oh my god! Sing If You Can presenter Stacey Solomon gets the chop

By JODY THOMPSON

Get shorty: Stacey Solomon showed off her new short hairstyle as she left ITV1's London studios after an appearance on Loose Women yesterday


She only recently went back to her roots and ditched the bleach to return to her natural brunette - and now Stacey Solomon has rung in the changes ever further by having her hair cut into a wavy bob.

The 21-year-old star revealed her brand new do as she left the ITV studios on London's South Bank after a guest appearance yesterday on Loose Women.

Smiling for the cameras as ever, Stacey showed off the style wearing a bright peach top with a white bow, taupe leggings and red bowed flipflops.


Give us a wave: The Sing If You Can presenter has had her long brunette hair cut into a wavy bob


The former X Factor star, who won last year's I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here - is famed for her non-stop talking and exclamations like 'Oh my god!'.

She came third on the X Factor in 2009, won last year’s I’m A Celebrity Get Me out Of Here and this year's Celebrity Mum Of the Year and lives in Dagenham, Essex, with her three-year-old son, Zachary.

Stacey currently co-hosts with comedy star Keith Lemon the hysterical Sing If You Can, a guilty Saturday night pleasure on ITV1 for many, but a show that also more importantly raises money for the Teenage Cancer Trust charity.



Longer locks: Stacey, left, on I'm A Celebrity at the end of last year, and right, in 2009 during her time on X Factor


The show sees celebrities attempting to sing songs while all sorts of distractions happen around them - like last week, when football legend Rodney Marsh and singer Ray Quinn attempted to sing Blur's Parklike while surrounded by dogs.

Teenage Cancer Trust aims to ensure that every young person with cancer and their family receive the best possible care so the show is well worth watching and donating - or just donate anyway.

Meanwhile, ditzy Essex star Stacey, who confirmed last month that she is wokring on her debut album, also has a book coming out on 12 May.

Her autobiography, it's called My Story So Far.
