That's not Joe! Jonas Brothers Nick and Kevin get to grips with rotund sunbather as they film new TV show

By Chris Johnson

Who's this then? Nick, left, and Kevin Jonas film scenes for their new TV show The Jonas Brothers: Living The Dream on the beach in Malibu, Los Angeles


Don't worry, Jonas Brother Joe has not been replaced by this beached specimen.

The 20-year-old heartthrob was nowhere to be seen on location in Malibu, Los Angeles, as his siblings Nick, 17, and Kevin, 22, filmed for the band's reality TV show.

But presumably he was just taking a breather as his brothers engaged in a beach treasure hunt with their metal detectors in hand


Metal detectors at the ready: But their brother Joe was nowhere to be seen


The pair were shooting scenes for the new series of their reality show The Jonas Brothers: Living The Dream.

The second season of the programme kicks off on March 21 on the Disney Channel.

Fans will be treated to 11 episodes of behind-the-scenes footage shot as the band embarked on a 16-city European tour in 2009.


Mischief: The duo are seen creeping up on a rotund sunbather as part if the skit


Ready to roll: They have apparently located some treasure with their metal detectors, right under where the sunbather is lying


Struggling: Nick gets to grips with the man and tries to roll him over


As well as following them on the road, the show will also delve into the trio's other passions, including how they stay healthy and how past relationships inspire their music.

How this little beach skit will feature is yet to be seen, but it certainly looks entertaining.

Nick and Kevin can be seen getting to grips with the rotund sunbather in these photos, after apparently detecting some kind of treasure located beneath him.

Naked ladies play a supporting role on Keira Knightley's blouse as she arrives at Laurence Olivier Awards lunch

By Georgina Littlejohn and Chris Johnson

Not her usual look: Keira Knightley at the Laurence Olivier Awards nominees lunch in London in a printed skirt and blouse combo


She's never been one to shy away from nudity.

But as Keira Knightley mingled with VIPs at a prestigious awards lunch, it was the naked ladies printed on her blouse that were causing a stir rather than the actress herself.

The star, who usually plays it a little more strait-laced, certainly pushed the fashion boundaries in the ensemble.

Drawings of nude women were emblazoned all over her Keira's mocha-coloured blouse, with red collar, while she had puppies printed on her A-line black skirt.

The 24-year-old actress showed off the bizarre outfit as she arrived at the Haymarket Hotel in London this afternoon.

She was a guest at the Laurence Olivier Awards Nominee Luncheon Party ahead of the ceremony which takes place on March 21 at the Grosvenor House Hotel.

She rubbed shoulders with other nominees at the lunch.

Melanie Chisholm - better known as Spice Girl Sporty Spice - looked chic and stylish in a black trouser suit which she accessorised with a dainty clutch bag.

Tough competition: Melanie Chisholm and Patina Miller are both up for the Best Actress in a Musical or Entertainment

Melanie, 36, has been nominated for the Best Actress in a Musical or Entertainment for her role in Blood Brothers at the Phoenix Theatre.

But she faces tough competition from Patina Miller, who is nominated for her performance in Sister Act.

She beamed for the cameras as she arrived at the lunch in a sexy short black and white polka dot dress and towering black heels.

Also attending was legendary actor James Earl Jones, who is up for Best Actor for his role as Big Daddy in the new adaptation of Tennessee William's classic play, Cat On A Hot Tin Roof.

The play, which is directed by former Fame star Debbie Allen, and features an all-black cast, is also up for Best Revival.

'I've always been conscious of my weight... but I finally feel confident,' says Leona Lewis as she bares her toned midriff

By Georgina Littlejohn

Looking lean: Leona Lewis shows off a toned figure in a fashion shoot for Grazia magazine


She has a voluptuous figure that has been the envy of women everywhere since she shot to fame three years ago.

But Leona Lewis said she only now feels confident about her body after admitting that she has always been quite conscious of her weight.

However, as the 24-year-old singer showed off her slimline figure for a photoshoot for Grazia magazine, the shy side to Leona emerged when asked about her weight loss

Last month, the Run singer admitted she had slimmed down from a size 14 to a 10 after going on a major detox after spending months in the studio.


Fuller figure: A curvier Leona snapped at an awards do in February 2009


She said she ate lots of vegetables, avoided all processed food and drank nothing but water for a whole month.

But when a member of her team mentioned to the Grazia journalist that she had lost weight recently, Leona winced at the remark.

She said: 'That's what everyone's been saying but I'm quite an average size. I've always been conscious of my weight.'

She said there is nothing that she would change about herself and added: 'No, I feel pretty confident.'

But Leona also admitted that she is more aware of her appearance since becoming famous.

She said: 'Now I sometimes feel like I can't wear certain things, so I've stopped looking at photos of myself. You become more self-conscious.'

Raised in Hackney, East London, Leona said she has been kept pretty grounded by her parents.

And despite spending most of last year in Los Angeles recording her album, she said she prides herself on being normal and didn't get seduced by the luxurious celebrity lifestyle while in the US.

She said: ' No, I don't wear diamonds or anything like that. I did have a fitness trainer for a week but then I realised I preferred classes.

'Overall, I'm quite good with how I spend my cashola.'

Leona also dismissed rumours that while in Los Angeles, she had a breast enlargement.
She said: 'It's weird that people look at you like that. I wouldn't go up to someone and say, "Oh my God, look at your bust."


The interview appears in this month's Grazia, out today


'That's very strange to me, it's just too personal.'

Leona also spoke about her latest body art - her tattoo that goes halfway down her back and is a poem about horses.

And she admitted that her long-term boyfriend Lou Al-Chamaa, didn't like it to begin with.

She said: 'He was a bit annoyed at first. He was like, "It's permanent!"
And Leona said getting a tattoo, almost seen as rebellious for the clean-cut singer, is not the first step towards a Britney Spears-style breakdown.

She said: 'Britney's got a lot of people around her who are just really bad and out of order.

'I trust every single person around me, and if I feel even a whiff of uncertainty I won't have that person around me.'

The full interview with Leona and more pictures appear in this week's Grazia magazine, on sale today.

By Daily Mail Reporter

Businesswoman: With her scantily dressed mother's help, Juanita soon shifted the cookies to workers on a construction site

In her Christian Louboutins, bodycon miniskirt and sequinned top, Eva Longoria looks nothing like your average Girl Scout.

But that's exactly the outfit in which her character Gabrielle Solis chose to sell Girl Scout cookies on the set of Desperate Housewives yesterday.

She was helping onscreen daughter Juanita sell the charity treats.

Desperate Housewives: Robin seduces Katherine in show's first lesbian relationship

By Daily Mail Reporter

New relationship: Robin, played by Julie Benz and Katherine, played by Dana Delany end up in bed together in an upcoming episode of Desperate Housewives


Desperate Housewives is set to have its first lesbian relationship.

Katherine Mayfair is seduced by former stripper Robin Gallagher in the U.S. show's new series.

The scenes come after a dream sequence in which Katherine, played by actress Dana Delany, is left stunned when new housemate Robin strips off after spilling maple syrup on her bra.

Robin, played by Julie Benz, wipes it off with her finger, after which Katherine steps forward and goes to unhook her bra.

On this occasion the steamy scenes are simply a dream and Katherine wakes up with a start.

But later in the episode the dreams become reality when the pair end up naked together in bed.

Benz, who recently joined the show, said filming the scenes was fun.

'Dana's a great kisser,' she said. 'Joining the cast of Desperate Housewives has been nothing short of amazing.

'The girls are all so fun to work with and have welcomed me with open arms. I'm so thrilled that there is such a buzz about my character's relationship with Dana's.

'It's really beautiful and was so fun to shoot.'

Viewers have already seen the characters embrace, in a scene in which they were being chatted up by a couple of guys they decided they don't fancy.

Robin said afterwards: 'It was perfect. They were so turned on but so going home alone!'

Lindsay Lohan protects her modesty... with the help of a strategically placed jacket

By Daily Mail Reporter

Fashion victim: Lindsay Lohan giggles after realising her mini dress is exposing too much flesh at the Roberto Cavalli Fashion Show in Milan


The slinky metallic mini dress was the perfect choice for posing in front of the paparazzi.

But Lindsay Lohan hadn't thought about the view the cameras would get when she took her seat at the Roberto Cavalli Fashion Show in Milan.

The actress was in fits of laughter after realising her dress had risen unsuitably high, exposing her leg as she sat in the front row.


Don't look now: A strategically placed fake fur jacket protected her modesty


Her bitten nails could clearly be seen as she hid her face while deciding what to do.

Eventually the 23-year-old used a fake fur jacket to protect her modesty.
Lindsay is in Milan for the city's fashion week.


Perfect for posing: Lindsay shows how the dress should look


Following the show she joined Courtney Love and Elisabetta Canalis at the after party.

This time Lindsay covered up in a pair of metallic harem pants and a fake fur gillet.

Meanwhile Love looked almost respectable in a mini dress and fringed jacket, although the ladder in her wet look tights somewhat spoilt the effect.

Also joining the party goers was Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood and his Brazilian girlfriend Ana Araujo.

The pair looked happy to be photographed together, cuddling up for the cameras.

Who knew so many celebrities were Canadian (bet you thought most of these were American)

By Georgina Littlejohn

First Ladies: Canadian singers Avril Lavigne (left) and Alanis Morissette perform at the Winter Olympics 2010 closing ceremony last night


We've either seen them on the big screen or sung along to their songs without giving a second thought to their nationality.

How many of us assumed actor Michael J Fox, and singers Avril Lavigne, Neil Young and Michael Buble were American?

In fact, they all hail from across the US border, Canada to be precise, and were out in full force last night to proudly wave the flag for their country at the closing ceremony of the Winter Olympics.


Quick change: Michael Buble sang the unofficial national anthem before stripping off to a reveal a white tuxedo
The ceremony took place in Vancouver yesterday at BC Place, the official venue of the Winter Olympics 2010.


The Games have dominated Canadian life for the past two weeks, so it was only fitting that the country's biggest stars should be there to commemorate the event - and heap praise on their athletes, who came away with 14 gold medals, the highest of any country in any Winter Olympics ever.


Stereotypes: The stage was set for everything Canadian from maple leaves to Mounties to huge inflatable beavers


Celebration: Fireworks light up the night sky over Vancouver as the Winter Olympics 2010 come to an end

Among giant inflatable beavers, dancing lumberjacks and stripping Mounties (including Michael Buble), they took part in an 'I am Canadian' segment of the closing ceremony, presented by Star Trek legend William Shatner, Back To The Future star Michael J Fox and Beetlejuice actress Catherine O'Hara.

Shatner, 78, came on first and told the crowd: 'I'm Bill and I'm proud to be Canadian.'

Playing on his most famous role as Captain James T Kirk, he referred to Canada as the 'final frontier' and joked that he was proud that Canadians are 'people who know how to make love in a canoe'


To boldy go: Although now residents of the US, William Shatner and Michael J Fox spoke of their undying love for their native country


Winners: Canada's Sidney Crosby waves the Canadian flag during celebrations after their victory over the US in the men's ice hockey gold medal game


Michael J Fox, 48, who now spends most of his time out of the limelight since being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, then received a rapturous welcome as he came on and said that he still supports the Canadian hockey team despite living in the US.

He said: 'If I'm watching the U.S. and Canada play hockey, I'm sorry, I'm wearing a Maple Leaf on my sweater.'

One of Canada's most famous sons is legendary singer Neil Young, who lives in the US but was born in Toronto.

Burning flame: The Olympic torch burns throughout the closing ceremony

He has said he has no intention of ever giving up his Canadian citizenship, especially after being awarded the Order of Canada in December, the Canadian equivalent of a knighthood.

He honoured his country's efforts at hosting the Games, as he took to the stage with just his guitar and harmonica and treated the crowd to his 1976 song Long May You Run.

Next up was sexy crooner Michael Buble, 34, who came on stage dressed as a Mountie - a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police - complete with red uniform and wide-brimmed hat, and sang Canada's unofficial national anthem, The Maple Leaf Forever.

He then ripped off his costume to reveal a white tuxedo underneath before launching into some of his hit songs.

It was then the turn of the Canadian rock stars to take to the stage, with Ottawa-born Alanis Morissette, 35, treating the crowd to Wunderkind, while Avril Lavigne, 25, sang her hit song Girlfriend.

And Vancouver-based band Nickelback rocked the audience with their song Burn It To The Ground.
