Doctor Who assistant Karen Gillan lets her glamorous guard down as she's spotted off-duty in a baggy shirt

By Mail Online Reporter

Feeling tired? A run-down looking Karen Gillan running errands in north London yesterday


With the latest series of Doctor Who at an end, relative newcomer Karen Gillan was probably hoping to have some time out from the celebrity spotlight.

But spotted running errands near her north London home yesterday, it looks like the redhead Scot is quickly realising she is becoming a tabloid favourite.

Clearly unprepared for the photographers, the 22-year-old was looking a bit rundown and tired as she picked up some shopping with her photographer boyfriend Patrick Green.


Time off the glamour: Gillan was a world away from her sleek red carpet appearance with her scraped back hair and blemishes


In contrast to her usual flawless appearance, the former model had succumbed to a spot of blotchy skin and had a few spots around her chin.

In contrast to her usual designer dresses, Gillan teamed a baggy blue shirt with black mini-skirt and ankle boots as she walked near her home.

In a recent interview, Gillan admitted she wasn't as confident as her Doctor Who character Amy Pond.

She said: 'I still see myself as a girl. Amy is a lot cooler than me. She has a different walk from me. She struts. She's bad.'


Busy: Gillan was laden with bags as she ran errands with her boyfriend Patrick Green


Gillan is currently back on the audition trail before her second series of Doctor Who starts filming later this year.

Critics universally praised both Gillan and new timelord Matt Smith in the latest series, which ended last month.

Despite the couple's on-screen kissing scenes, Gillan admitted her boyfriend was quite relaxed about them.

She said: 'It is full-on snogging. My boyfriend is surprisingly cool with it.'


New role? Gillan was carrying a script for her latest acting role

Sex kitten Nicole Scherzinger goes head-to-head with girl next door Konnie Huq at X Factor auditions

By Chris Johnson

Fashion face-off: Nicole Scherzinger dressed in a sexy red and purple Karen Millen dress while Xtra Factor presenter Konnie Huq went for the girl next door look at the third day of X Factor auditions in Manchester today


With Cheryl and Dannii away, guest judge Nicole Scherzinger and Xtra Factor presenter Konnie Huq have been working extra hard in the glamour stakes.

And today was no exception as the duo had another fashion face off as they arrived to the third day of auditions in Manchester.

Pussycat Nicole, 32, slipped into an eye-catching red and purple Karen Millen dress, which clung to her enviable curves in all the right places, and oozed sex appeal.

The singer, who won Dancing With The Stars in the U.S. earlier this year with professional dancer Derek Hough, who is rumoured to dating Cheryl Cole, opted for the high street number after wearing Victoria Beckham designs for the past two days.

Meanwhile former Blue Peter presenter Konnie, 34, slipped into a pretty, floral tea dress.

Luckily the ensemble was tiered, saving her blushes when a gust of wind blew the dress skywards to reveal another layer to the outfit.


Fan friendly: In her figure-hugging dress, Nicole had plenty of waves and kisses for those who had waited patiently to see her

Yesterday Konnie hot footed it around in a pair of very short shorts and cooled off in the soaring temperatures as she chatted to hopefuls.

She even cooled off under a white sheet as balmy Britain basked in glorious weather.

Nicole, whose race ace boyfriend Lewis Hamilton finished in second place today at the British Grand Prix in Silverstone today, had a broad smile and plenty of waves for her fans as she left her hotel and was whisked to the auditions.

Normally she'd be supporting Hamilton, 25, from the stands, but today she had work to do as she embarked upon her third day as a guest judge for the hit ITV show.


Going British? Nicole Scherzinger wore a dress designed by Victoria Beckham for the second day in a row at the X Factor auditions yesterday


She is sitting in for pop star and regular judge Dannii Minogue who is in Melbourne, Australia, on maternity leave after giving birth to her first child, son Ethan, last week.

Cheryl is also still absent while she recovers from deadly malaria, which she contracted on a recent holiday to Tanzania with Scherzinger's dancing pal Hough.

For the first two days, Nicole turned up for X Factor auditions in Manchester wearing outfits designed by Victoria Beckham.

Yesterday she wore a short black dress with exaggerated shoulders and a peplum skirt which Posh wore for a night out in Paris last December.


Home from home: As Scherzinger spends more time in the UK, we wonder if she is turning into Victoria Beckham?


A day earlier the Pussycat Doll arrived in a figure-hugging grey dress, which accentuated her curves.

Scherzinger, who will appear alongside Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh on the judging panel for the auditions, has been lined up as a judge on X Factor U.S., according to reports.

The U.S. version is due to start in 2011, but so far, only Cowell has been confirmed for the judging panel.

A source told Radar Online that the Pussycat Doll will have a chance to impress Cowell on the UK show and get the inside story on the U.S. version at the same time.

Scherzinger recently won Dancing With the Stars in the U.S.

Even in her granny-pants bikini Taylor Swift is a bathing beauty

Bathing beauty: Despite her granny-style bikini bottoms Taylor Swift looks good on the beach in the Bahamas


With a body like hers Taylor Swift can get away with the most edgy of fashions.
But even she struggled to look good in her granny-style bikini bottoms as she sunbathed on the beach in the Bahamas.

While the Fifties-style pants might have had the benefit of holding in the stomach of a fuller figured sunbather, they added nothing to Taylor's petite frame.

Despite this the country singer's good looks could not be disguised by her unflattering outfit.

The bathing beauty wore her blonde hair naturally wavy and tied in a funky side-ponytail. She wore red-rimmed sunglasses with her outfit.

Taylor, 20 was holidaying at The Cove on Paradise Island.

The Love Story star recently accepted an award for her skills as a young songwriter, the Hal David Starlight Award.


Well deserved break: Taylor holidayed with a group of friends


She was presented with the gong by John Mayer at the Songwriters Hall Of Fame gala in New York.

Mayer - who has collaborated with Swift in the past - told the audience that she could have a 'hit record in any era.'

'Don't confuse everybody loving one thing as hype,' he added. 'Sometimes that's everyone agreeing that it's fabulous.'

Red hot Rihanna looks good from all angles as she relaxes poolside in Barbados

By Mail Online Reporter

Perfect from all sides: Rihanna shows off her fine form as she cools off in the pool


Rihanna dazzled in Barbados last week in a teeny gold bikini as she cooled off in the pool.

The R & B singer was enjoying some much needed R & R before heading off for the North American leg of her world tour.

Rihanna was also rocking a radical new bright red and black hairdo, cropped short at the sides with a cockatoo looking quiff smoothed over to the side and some huge 80s door knocker style hoop earrings.

She had a whirlwind couple of days, landing in her hometown last Wednesday before jetting out just two days later to catch her boyfriend, Los Angeles Dodgers star, Matt Kemp, play at Fenway Park against the Boston Red Sox.

Sean Garrett, the producer of Rihanna's new album told the press last week that the singer is getting back to more 'happy' and 'upbeat' music.

He said things got serious for a while on Rated R as she told the story of her beating and subsequent break up from ex-boyfriend Chris Brown, but that she's now making a return to her Pon de Replay and Umbrella roots.

Rihanna and Brown went through a painful public break-up back in February last year after Brown assaulted her in his car following a row between the couple.

Rihanna, whose full name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty, suffered a split lip, bloody nose and scratching to her face.

Brown, who plead guilty to assault, avoided jail time but was sentenced to six months community service, five years probation, ordered to attend domestic violence classes and banned from going within fifty-yards of Rihanna.

Rihanna has since gone on to find happiness with baseball star Kemp, who she credits with bringing some calm to her often crazy life.

'I feel so comfortable and it's so easy,' the 22-year-old told the July issue of Elle Magazine. 'I have such a chaotic life, but at the end of the day that is just my peace.

'It keeps me sane really, talking to him and talking to my family.'

She went on to explain that it was crucial for her to move on from Brown.

'I just wanted to wake up one day and not have that pain anymore,' she said.

'I wanted to be with him again or just get over him - it was either or, I just didn't want to feel the pain, the confusion.'

Sensual: Kylie Minogue writhes among her half-naked co-stars in the video for new single All My Lovers


Her previous videos have seen her dancing on a table in gold hotpants and performing a sexy routine in a plunging white catsuit.

So it comes as no surprise to see Kylie Minogue writhing around among half-naked extras in the video for her new single All My Lovers.

Wearing a white cobweb-style T-shirt over a bra and knickers and matching white thigh high boots, the 41-year-old singer is seen with a look of ecstasy on her face as she lays on the top of her lingerie-clad co-stars.



Youthful: The singer looks ultra sexy in the sheer outfit for the new video


The video - directed by Joseph Khan, who has directed videos including Britney Spears' Toxic - won't be released until next month, but fans have been teased with a taster preview.

And it isn't only Minogue who is getting sexy in the new video - her co-stars also appear to be overcome by the mood, and are seen passionately kissing and embracing throughout.

Human mountain: Minogue stands on top of her co-stars while filming the video in Los Angeles earlier this month


The All My Lovers video also shows Kylie has no intention of covering up her figure, or her most famous asset, as she gets older.

She said recently: 'Every time I put on a pair of hotpants I think, "This is the last time." But it's not. It makes me laugh that my bum has become such an obsession!

'When it came to the video and I knew I was going to be in tiny hotpants again, I was like, "Cover my legs and bum with body make-up." It's definitely the way forward and my secret to having a great bottom!'

All My Lovers is the first track to be taken from Minogue's upcoming 11th studio album entitled Aphrodite, due for release on June 5.


Daytime casual: Minogue wore a loose vest top and skinny jeans as she visited her management offices in London yesterday


Explaining her inspiration for the track, she explained: 'The single was one of the last tracks to be written for the album.

'As I was recording it I knew that All The Lovers had to be the first single as it sums up the euphoria of the album perfectly.

'It gives me goose-bumps, so I’m really excited to hear what everyone thinks of it.'

Gary Lineker's teenage son shown the red card by Big Brother winner Sophie Reade

By Daily Mail Reporter

Don't look now, George! Big Brother's Sophie Reade was seen kissing Coronation Street star Lucien Laviscount at a London club last night after dumping Gary Lineker's son


Gary Lineker's son has been dumped by glamour model girlfriend Sophie Reade - and she's wasted no time moving on.

The Big Brother winner has called off their two-month relationship leaving student George, 18, nursing a broken heart.

Sophie has already found his replacement - former Coronation Street star Lucien Laviscount.

In what will come as another blow to the teen, she was seen kissing the actor, who played Ben Richardson in the soap, outside London nightclub Alto last night.


Sophie, 20, and George first stepped out in public in March but she told him this week that she just wants to be friends.

George posted a message on his Facebook site on the internet warning people to 'mind their own business' and replaced a photo of the couple together with a picture of himself on his profile.

Friends left messages of support, offering him get-away breaks and told him to 'keep his chin up'.

A close friend told how George, who suffered from leukaemia as a child, said: 'They were really close and almost like best friends.


Nursing a broken heart: George with the Big Brother 10 winner in March


'They had been out together loads of times but Sophie decided she wanted to see other people.

'George had introduced her to his dad and she got on really well with his friends.
'But both of them are young and want to see other people.'

A spokeswoman for Sophie Reade confirmed the pair were no longer a couple.

She said: 'As far as I understand there is no relationship. They are now friends but nothing more.'

George was first spotted out in public with Sophie on March 29 at a London party hosted by Walker's Crisps.

Sophie - wearing a salmon pink skirt and black top - was caught gazing lovingly into George's eyes after the bash.

He had initially attended the party with dad Gary, 49, and his wife Danielle, 30.
