Hats off to Kelly Rowland as she shows off her toned figure in a blue bikini

By Mail Online Showbiz Reporter

Beach babe: Kelly Rowland shows off her toned figure in an aqua blue bikini and floppy sunhat as she soaks up the sun on Miami beach


As she's recording her new album at a Miami studio, you can't blame Kelly Rowland for hitting the beach in-between sessions.

So after spending Sunday in a sexy cut-out blue swimsuit, the 29-year-old singer opted for the same colour in a bikini as she spent the day on the beach.

Covering her face from the hot 29-degree sunshine with a large sunhat, Rowland showed off her newly-toned figure as she strolled up and down the beach.

Since flying back to her Florida home over the weekend, the former Destiny's Child member has splitting her time between the recording studio and the shoreline.

Her beach sessions have been giving her plenty of time to show off the results of her shapely figure from losing 10lb after cutting out sugar from her diet and doing the Jeanette Jenkins Butt and Thigh Blast fitness DVD.

After arriving from Atlanta, Georgia - where she spent the first eight years of her life - Rowland went straight to the beach on Sunday.


Healthy new lifestyle: Rowland has credited her new toned figure to Gillian McKeith's diet tips and a fitness DVD


Writing on her Twitter page, Rowland enthused: 'It's SO HOT out in Miami today.
'I want a tan... (Don't judge me!!!)... I'll be more chocolate.'

Rowland recently credited British TV diet expert Gillian McKeith with her new healthier lifestyle.

She said: 'I'm telling you, I'm not eating sugar. I didn't even try to lose weight.

'I read this book, called You Are What You Eat. The author [McKeith] is talking about sugar, she's talking about meat, she's talking about cheese.


'I want a tan': Rowland soaks up the sun


'I did some of those things for a month, but for the most part, it is just sugar that is gone from my diet.'

Rowland has also been working hard on her as yet untitled third solo album, and is preparing for the U.S. release of single Shake Them Haters Off.

It will not be available in the UK, instead she will release Commander, her latest dance collaboration with David Guetta.

Discussing how dance music has influenced her sound, she told Pinboard: 'Don't judge me, listen to the record.


Sun worshipper: Rowland wore a cut-out aqua one-piece on Sunday


'For so long being in a group was part of my blood. I had to almost reprogramme myself for just me, I, Kelly.

'Everyone was like, "Are you going to do a full dance album or are you going to do an urban album?" I'm doing both, because I won't allow anyone to put me in box.

'I've got to find my voice. I blame myself a little bit for not having the faith to do that, and I finally have the faith to do that.'


In shape: Giving up sugar helped Kelly shed 10lbs, without dieting



Kelly has had her own successful solo career after the release of her album Simply Deep in 2002 and Ms Kelly in 2007.

She also scored a number-one worldwide hit with Dilemma, a collaboration with rapper Nelly.

Kelly began her ascent to stardom at the age of eight, after moving to Houston, Texas, and meeting future bandmate Beyonce.

The girls were tutored by Beyonce’s father, Mathew, who later managed the band.

Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe look devastated as they shoot their final Harry Potter scenes

By Daily Mail Reporter

Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe film the final scenes of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in Hertfordshire, looking noticeably distraught


The lead actors from the Harry Potter films have expressed their devastation over the franchise coming to an end, but now the pain has been captured on their faces.

As Emma Watson, who plays Hermione Granger, and Daniel Radcliffe, wizard Harry Potter, shot their final scenes for the film, they looked distraught.

The actors were shooting in the countryside near Stevenage, Hertfordshire, for the seventh and final Potter movie and were noticeably emotional

Watson had her hand on Radcliffe’s shoulder to comfort him, while their co-star Rupert Grint, who plays Ron, also had a frown on his face and his arm in a sling.

The final episode in the series will see the three friends propelled into the future, where we will see them as middle aged parents

Some of the final filming for the new flick is also taking part in London, and just days ago Kings Cross station was transformed into platform 9 ¾ for the adaptation of JK Rowling’s books.

Recently Watson likened the end of the series to ‘a friend dying’ and Radcliffe told the London Evening Standard: ‘It’s going to be bizarre


Emma Watson, Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint shoot in a field near Stevenage, the new Harry Potter film will be released in November


‘I’m going to be devastated. It’s going to be very, very sad because it’s been such an important part of my life.’

The young actors have become millionaires through the films and the series is the highest-grossing film franchise of all time, taking more than £3.7 billion.

Producer David Heyman has said the crew is just shooting the final scenes now of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, which will then be spit into two parts.

The first part will come out this November and the second next July.

As shooting came to an end Radcliffe revealed he that Harry Potter was not always his favourite role.

In a surprising confession the 20-year-star said he would have liked to have been cast as the superhero Spiderman.

The film role of the web slinging crime fighter went to American actor Tobey Maguire, with the first Spiderman film in 2002 one of the most successful of all time.

'I was always unbelievably jealous of Tobey Maguire playing Spiderman,' Radcliffe said.

'I do think Spidey is the coolest of superheroes.'

The boy wizard was recently voted the second greatest character ever created in the TV and film over the last 20 years by US magazine Entertainment Weekly.

The five Potter films have also outperformed all three Spider-Man films at the box office.

But Radcliffe will be seen in the final two instalments of the Potter series created by author JK Rowling.

Radcliffe also said he would be 'devastated' when filming finished.

'There is nothing I watch without it triggering a series of memories. Everything [about the films] is so linked to my life. At the same time, it is exciting. It is the end,' he said.

Radcliffe said he had always found Potter interesting to play - even if he wasn't the coolest super-hero.

Asked what makes Harry interesting, he said: 'That he's not perfect. He's capable of being quite arrogant, pigheaded and a little bit selfish.

'He can make himself something of a martyr when he really doesn't have to.

'All those characteristics are wonderful because it separates Harry from archetypal superheroes that you often get.'

Michael Jackson's children receive more than $33m each in singer's will

By Daily Mail Reporter

Michael Jackson's daughter Paris (l) and two sons Prince Michael II (Blanket) and Prince Michael I (r) at the memorial service for their father. They will each receive $33million from Jackson's will


Michael Jackson left his children more than $33million each in his will, it has been revealed.

Prince, 13, Paris, 12 and eight-year-old Blanket will all begin to receive their share of the money from trust funds when they turn 30, according to Jackson's will.

It is also thought the trust funds will increase in value in terms of interest, commercial ventures and an increase in money when Katherine dies - with each of Jackson's three children expected to be worth $300million by the time they are 30.

However, it has emerged Jackson left nothing to his brothers, sisters or father before he died last June.

A source said: 'Michael had fallings out with his father and brothers but, being the generous soul he was, it's almost unbelievable he left them with nothing.'

In addition, Jackson left both his ex-wives, Debbie Rowe and Lisa Marie Presley, out of the settlement.

Jackson's 23-page document shows that the singer left 40 per cent of his $300million estate to his children, 40 per cent to his mother Katherine and 20 per cent to charity






















Jackson also left his mother Katherine, who is legal guardian of the singer's three children, $99million


The children will be permitted to fund trustees for cash at the age of 21, but they will not be entitled to free reign on their share until the reach 40.

A source told the News of the World: 'Michael's mother and his children were the dearest thing to him in his life, so he made sure that they would benefit when he died.

'In truth, those children will never have to want for anything - and that's what Michael wished for.'

However, the documents have caused many disagreements in the Jackson family, as many of the singer's siblings are said to have thought they would have received something in Jackson's will.

Many of the family members are also said to be concerned that Jackson's mother Katherine, who is legal guardian of his children, has not yet received her $99million share.

Katherine currently receives a total of $81,000 a month from Jackson's estate to pay for the children's food, school fees, clothes and other expenses, but sources say money has been tight in the household since Jackson died.

Jackson's estate is run by Los Angeles lawyers John McClain and John Branca.

He's the one: Kerry Katona declares her undying love for boyfriend just weeks into their relationship

By Daily Mail Reporter

Besotted: Kerry Katona can't wipe the smile from her face as she spends the bank holiday with new boyfriend Adam Waldron


They may have only been dating for a matter of weeks, but unlucky-in-love star Kerry Katona has boldly declared her new boyfriend is 'the one.'

The besotted reality TV star, 29, has told friends she is madly in love with painter and decorator Adam Waldron, 33, who she met on Facebook.

She has been travelling from Surrey to spend time with the 33-year-old, who lives with his parents in Warrington, Cheshire - where Kerry's mother also lives.

Kerry spent the bank holiday weekend with Waldron after dropping her children Heidi, three, and Max, two, with her mother.

The couple were joined by friends as they went shopping for supplies before going to Kerry's £3,500-a-month Surrey home to relax.

The budding relationship comes after Kerry's nasty split with husband Mark Croft, the father of her children, who has admitted to helping waste her millions on drugs and alcohol.


Feeling great, looking great: Kerry looked happy and healthy today as she ventured out in a flattering maxi dress with boyfriend Adam

According to the News of the World, Kerry told a friend: 'I never thought I could trust another man. But Adam has completely swept me off my feet with his kindness and sensitivity.

'He has turned my life around. I feel so in love. I just hope it lasts. You could say I'm head over heels with Adam and I'm sure he feels the same way.

Kerry told the friend that unlike Croft, who she claims exploited her celebrity, Adam was interested in her for who she was as a person.


Turning her back on the past: Kerry still has a tattoo bearing her ex Marks' name

'We've connected on every level and I don't want our relationship to end. Adam listens to me and understands the pressures I have to face.'


Blossoming romance: Kerry steps out with Adam, who she has described as a 'down-to-earth guy'


The new couple were spotted shopping for supplies with friends before retiring to Kerry's Surrey house to spend the weekend

Katie Price fails to muster up a smile on family day out with Alex Reid and Harvey

By Mail Online Showbiz Reporter

Withdrawn: Katie Price and Alex Reid couldn't hide their unhappiness as they arrived at the Lost Island Encounter with Katie's son Harvey


She was attempting to make the most of the blazing sunshine by enjoying a day out with her husband and son.

But still Katie Price couldn't muster up a smile as she and Alex Reid took her son Harvey to the launch of a new family attraction in Kent.

Wearing a loose white cardigan over a vest top and leggings, Katie, 32, looked subdued and withdrawn as she arrived at the Lost Island Encounter at World of Golf in Sidcup.

Alex, who wore a Star Wars t-shirt with jeans, boots and a leather jacket, didn't look much happier either - but cheered up when he was given a balloon lightsaber to play with.

The couple took Harvey for a stroll around the golf course, which is based around a Lost Island theme and includes cascading waterfalls, 1950s jeeps and a crashed jet plane.

Their subdued behaviour could be down to the fact they have been having trouble conceiving.


Uninterested: Katie watches as Alex tries to play with a balloon lightsaber with Harvey


Stressed: The model appeared to have blotchy skin as she arrived at the attraction


According to the News of the World, Katie is furious after finding out Alex had been keeping his fertility problems a secret from her.

A source told the paper: 'They've been trying for weeks and weeks, and she's reached the end of her tether.

'She blames Alex and finds it embarrassing because she told the world she'd have his baby as soon as she could.'

And Alex is said to be finding it difficult to cope with Katie's constant pressure on him to give her what she wants more than anything - another baby.

The source added: 'Katie feels cheated he didn't tell her so she is being vile to him. He feels her obsession with having a baby is destroying their marriage.'

Kelly Brook parades around in another flirty outfit as she lives it up in LA

By Sarah Bull

Bloomin' lovely: Kelly Brook stepped out in Santa Monica today in a floral jumpsuit


She is in Los Angeles on business, but Kelly Brook appears to be having a rather pleasurable time of it.

The actress, who is the U.S. ahead of the release of new movie Piranha, enjoyed a relaxing day in Santa Monica visiting friends.

She was dressed for the warm weather in a floral jumpsuit that put her long legs on show in all their glory.


Legs eleven: The actress put her impressive pins on show


Along for the ride: Kelly's boyfriend Danny Cipriani is also in LA


The 30-year-old has paraded a series of stylish ensembles during her time in the city, including a heart-print dress.

Brook may also be updating her wardrobe ready for her impending move to Australia this September with boyfriend Danny Cipriani.

The couple will head to Melbourne after rugby player Cipriani decided to leave London Wasps and instead signed a two-season contract with the Melbourne Rebels.

After the move, Brook will return to Britain - conveniently missing out on Melbourne's winter - purely for work commitments.

While Brook has not had a huge amount of success in her acting career - starring in films such as Fishtales and School for Seduction - she is hoping Piranha will put her back on the map, although she says she knows it is not award-winning material.





Stylish parade: Kelly wore a heart-print dress on a outing in LA earlier this week


It is a 3D remake of the 1978 horror classic.

She said recently: 'It’s just a big, fun B-movie - lots of boobs, blood, gore and drama. I don’t think I’ll be getting any Oscars for.

'In Piranha there’s lots of cool people. It’s about a lot of fish that eat a lot of buff boys and big-breasted girls. It’s all set during spring break.'

Film role: Kelly shooting scenes for Piranha 3-D with porn star Riley Steele in Arizona

Sex And The City's Kim Cattrall reveals her drooping jowls

By Daily Mail Reporter

Jowls: Sex And The City star Kim Cattrall revealed her sagging neck as she left a London theatre last night


She's long defied the ageing process, but it seems the years are slowly catching up with Sex And The City star Kim Cattrall.

The 53-year-old, famous for her role as man-eating PR executive Samantha Jones, revealed signs of sagging jowls as she left London's Shaftesbury Theatre last night.

It was the only part of her to betray her age and she looked otherwise youthful in tight skinny jeans and a stylish tuxedo coat.


Taking it in her stride: The 53-year-old looked otherwise youthful in skinny jeans and a tuxedo jacket

Cattrall, who is in the capital to promote the Sex And The City sequel, recently said she isn’t 'ready' for plastic surgery.

'I don’t think "not for me", I just don’t know yet,' she said. 'I don’t think I’m ready for it.'

'I think the greatest fear is that you look in the mirror and you don’t see you. I like to look in the mirror and think I look good.

'I try and take care of myself, but I don’t ever want to get to the point where I don’t see myself, that would be really scary.'


Off duty: Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis both kept it casual as they left Claridge's last night


On the road again: Sarah Jessica Parker was seen at Heathrow airport today


Catrall's co-stars Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis were earlier spotted leaving Claridge's hotel.

Sarah Jessica Parker stayed in but was seen arriving at Heathrow airport today.

While Sex And The City 2 has opened to lukewarm reviews, the stars are already preparing to make a third movie.

Cattrall says: 'We will go on for as long as there are new stories to tell. I think it would become less fun if we started repeating ourselves, which we have managed to avoid thus far.'

Sex And The City 2 is in cinemas now.

Saint Rihanna replaces video sinner: PVC clad 'dominatrix' wraps up for holy Israel visit

Saint or sinner? A modestly dressed Rihanna visits The Church Of The Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem today...


The world saw two very different faces of Rihanna today - the private saint and the public sinner.

In the morning her latest video emerged on the internet and it was as raunchy as we've come to expect from one of pops most daring performers, packed with faux-lesbianism and PVC outfits as she posed as a dominatrix.

Then in later in the day a much more modestly-dressed Rihanna popped up in Jerusalem, one of the world's most holy cities, for a whirlwind tour of its religious must-sees.


And while she wore little more than PVC underwear on screen, in person she was wrapped up in a demure maxi dress and sarong, with barely a scrap of flesh showing.


*** SCROLL DOWN TO WATCH THE VIDEO... ***


.... as this raunchy video for Te Amo was released on the web, showing her as a PVC-clad dominatrix


The singer chose the brightly coloured outfit for a day touring some of Jerusalem's most Holy sites.

These included The Church Of The Holy Sepulchre, said to be the site of Jesus Christ's tomb, and the Western Wall, one of the Jewish faith's most religious sites.

She also fitted in a spot of shopping at the Egyptian market, before she headed off to do some voluneteer work in Tel Aviv.

Covered up: A demure Rihanna visits the Western Wall, one of the Jewish faith's most important sites


Sight seeing: Rihanna toured Jerusalem, before doing volunteer work in Tel Aviv


But while Rihanna may have had a very holy day, the web was buzzing with talk of her latest music video for Te Amo.

The daring scenes portray the heterosexual Barbadian singer as a leather clad dominatrix, kissing and striking suggestive poses with dark-haired French supermodel Laeticia Casta.

The explicit video, leaked onto the web, even shows Rihanna as a dominatrix in sado masochistic bondage scenes.

The 22-year-old mounts the tied up Laeticia from behind, forcing her head down towards the bed.

She also crawls on top of her co-star as the pair, wearing matching PVC underwear, lie on a table.


Pilgramage: Rihanna soaks up the religious atmosphere as she visits one of the cities most holy sites


Mother-of-three Laeticia, 32, is no stranger to controversial music videos - she starred in Chris Isaak's Baby Did A Bad, Bad Thing in 1999, which VH1 refused to air before the watershed.

The new video is set in the manicured grounds of the romantic 15th century Château de Vigny, just outside Paris.

It was directed by Anthony Mandler, whose casting call asked for 'beautiful, sexy and glamorous' females who are 'comfortable in their bodies'.


Demure: The singer couldn't have been more different to her video self


Daring: The video, leaked onto the web, was directed by Anthony Mandler


Mandler has directed videos for some of the world's biggest pop stars including Usher, Nelly Furtado, Eminem and Enrique Iglesias and Te Amo is the 11th time he has worked with Rihanna.

Writing on his Twitter page, Mandler enthused: 'Thanks to all of Rihanna’s fans for the long list of suggestions... we're gonna follow our instincts and give you guys something special...'

The isn't the first time Grammy winner Rihanna has pushed the boundaries with her videos. Her upcoming Rockstar 101 video shows her naked but for a few strategically placed chains

Hugh Jackman goes bananas with daughter Ava as the pair make the most of the New York heat

By Sarah Bull

Bananas! Ava tries to feed her father Hugh Jackman as they travel home in the New York heat


To anyone they passed, they looked like a typical father and daughter making the most of the heat in New York.

But the man being fed a banana by his daughter was actually Hugh Jackman, who attempted to blend in with the crowd as he picked Ava up from a dance class.

Jackman, who has been crowned the Sexiest Man Alive, also hid his Hollywood heartthrob status as he travelled home with Ava and son Oscar on the subway yesterday.


Cute: Ava looked adorable in a polka dot dress and pink shoes, and pulled funny faces as she sat on her dad's shoulders


Jackman's four-year-old daughter looked adorable in a polka dot dress, striped socks and pink shoes, while her Wolverine star dad tried to stay cool in the 29C heat in a black t-shirt and shorts combination.

The 41-year-old actor and wife Deborra-Lee Furness decided to adopt after having trouble conceiving.

Jackman said recently: 'We were definite about it. Adoption is about taking a baby into your home - and your heart. It's the best thing we've ever done.'


Again, again! Ava can't hide the look of delight on her face as Jackman shows off his upper body strength and swings her with one arm as they walk along


Normal man: Jackman takes the subway home with his two children


And Jackman says despite being incredibly happy looking after his two children, the couple have no intention of adopting again.

He added: 'For Deb and me, our family is the most important thing to us, but we travel so much that we fear if we have more kids, it'll be too much.'

Jackman is often seen enjoying time with his children in New York around his hectic filming schedule.

He has just finished shooting Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, a film set in 19th Century China, and has just announced he will star in X-Men Origins: Wolverine 2, the sequel to last year's hit action movie.
