Vanessa Feltz shows off the results of her gastric band as she slips into a little white dress for Devil's Double premiere

By Daily Mail Reporter


In good company: Reality shows collide as Lord Rob from Dirty Sexy Things accompanied Funda Onal to the premiere while Ben Ofoedu was dressed in a bizarre ensemble at the screening


She has slimmed down from a size 24 to a 14 after having a gastric band fitted.

And last night Vanessa Feltz showed off the results of the operation as she slipped into a little white dress for the London premiere of The Devil's Double.

The 49-year-old presenter displayed her noticeably slimmed down figure, as well as a deep golden tan, as she and fiancé Ofoedu arrived for the event in Leicester Square.

New figure: Vanessa Feltz displayed the results of her gastric band surgery as she slipped into a little white dress for the premiere of The Devil's Double in London last night. She has gone from a size 24 (right) to a 14


Vanessa underwent the £4,000 operation in Belgium last June after a surgeon relative recommended it.

However, the mother-of-two admitted in December the results of having the operation had been slower than she had hoped.

She said: 'I think I had this fantasy that the weight would drop off magically, but actually it was slower than I expected. It's going in the right direction though.'

On-trend: Rosamund Pike also wore white, which was featured heavily on the S/S 2011 catwalk shows


Vanessa wasn't the only one to opt for a white dress at last night's premiere.

Actress Rosamund Pike led the charge in a sparkling number cut just above the knee with tiny slashes on both legs, hemmed in with a smart slimline belt.

The 32-year-old finished off her outfit with a pair of black peep toe pumps and a miniature purse adorned with a zebra print patches.

In good company: Lord Rob from Dirty Sexy Things accompanied Made In Chelsea's Funda Onal to the premiere while Rick Parfitt Jnr brought his own pretty racy date


Meanwhile Made In Chelsea star Funda Onal stayed on-trend with a loose, low cut summer dress, nude peep toe heels and a salmon pink handbag.

She was accompanied by Lord Rob - a fellow reality star who appears in Channel 4's Dirty Sexy Things, which follows the fortunes of a group of models.

Rob also got in on the act with a white long sleeve T-shirt, though he opted for dark coloured jeans.

Golden brown: TOWIE's Lucy Mecklenburgh arrives at the premiere


The twosome later tweeted about their night, both excited at having met Latif Yahia, who the film is based on.

Rob wrote: 'Had great night at the devils double film premier with @FundaOnal, amazing amazing film, really outstanding.'

While Funda posted a photo with the caption: 'Met the original 'devils double' @latifyahia tonight what an inspiration! We could all learn a lot.'

Scarlet fever: Linzi Stoppard dazzled in a one-shoulder red dress with gold accessories in theme with the movie's poster

Essex and proud: Kirk Norcross poses with a couple of bikini-clad ladies at the premiere of The Devil's Double


Linzi Stoppard bucked the trend, choosing bright red for her showstopping number at the after party for the screening held at China White.

The violin-playing daughter of Tom Stoppard completed her eye-catching outfit with a pair of gold strappy wedge heels and a matching handbag.

TOWIE stars Kirk Norcross and Lucy Mecklenburgh also made appearances, alongside Rick Parfitt Jr and girl group Belle Amie - whose outfits were more suited to a festival than a red carpet premiere.

Festival fodder: X Factor finalists Belle Amie misjudged the event with their festival-style outfits


Also present was lead star Dominic Cooper - who also went for a slightly unorthodox ensemble comprised of a dark coloured blazer, white shirt, turquoise tie, light blue trousers and grey shoes.

The film is based on the true story of Latif Yahia's life as the double of Saddam Hussein's notorious and sadistic son Uday in Iraq.

Cooper said: 'Getting into the mind set was very hard because I despised Uday and I could find no redeeming quality, so it was about understanding what made that man the way he was.

I like this guy!: Latif Yahia and the man who plays him in the movie, Dominic Cooper


'Because there are truly no redeeming qualities, no moral code - so you really have no idea how someone functions like that.

'I looked at things like his relationship with his father and the fact that Saddam never thought him capable of any military stance, and certainly wasn't going to offer him the role of taking over power.

'So you understand the aggression and the hatred and the bile. That gave me at least a key to understanding the psyche.

'Not that it excused it but at least it gave me an understanding of who that man was.'

Yahia's family's lives were threatened unless he agreed to live with Uday in Saddam's palace and appear in public for him if his life was thought to be at risk.

Lydia Bright and James Argent show they're stronger than ever with loving display in Marbella

By SARAH BULL

Stronger than ever: The Only Way Is Essex stars Lydia Bright and James 'Arg' Argent showed they are back together with a loving display while on holiday in Marbella this week

Thousands of The Only Way Is Essex fans were left devastated when James 'Arg' Argent and Lydia Bright revealed they had split earlier this year.

But now it seems the couple have put their differences behind them and rekindled their relationship.

Lydia and Arg showed they are stronger than ever by putting on a loving display while on holiday in Marbella, kissing and cuddling as they relaxed in the sunshine.


Kisses and cuddles: Arg looked smitten with Lydia as he struggled to keep his hands off her while they relaxed int the jacuzzi


Wearing a tiny red polka dot bikini and a white cowboy hat, it was little wonder Arg struggled to keep his hands off his svelte girlfriend.

The couple made the most of their time off together, and enjoyed a relaxing dip in the pool as well as the jacuzzi at The Sisu Boutique Hotel and Spa in Puerto Banus.

The breakdown of Lydia and Arg's relationship was shown on the second series of The Only Way Is Essex, following a series of arguments stemming from Lydia's belief that Arg was cheating on her.


Beach bodies: While Lydia looked stunning in her red and green bikini, Arg still has a way to go on his weight loss quest


And despite his insisting that he had been entirely faithful, Lydia decided Arg didn't treat her well enough, and ended the relationship.

But Arg refused to accept that it was over, attempting to win Lydia back with flowers and heartfelt phone calls.

In the finale of season two of The Only Way Is Essex, Arg was seen pleading with Lydia to give him another chance, after she arrived at Mark Wright's pool party with another man.


Soaking up the sun: The loved-up pair smiled at each other as they enjoyed the warm weather


I love you! Lydia grins as she draws a heart on Arg's chest with her suncream


Now it seems Arg's determination to win back his girl has paid off, as he confirmed on Twitter earlier this week that the pair were back together.

He wrote on his Twitter page: 'Very proud of my beautiful GIRLFRIEND @LydiaRoseBright.'

A proud Arg then added: 'We're back together guys!'

The next series of The Only Way Is Essex is due to start on ITV2 this autumn.

Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal compete for the best beach body as they hit the surf after father's wedding

By Sarah Bull


Sibling love: Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal spent some time together in Hawaii following their father's wedding earlier this week


They are hugely popular Hollywood actors, so don't get to spend much time together.

So when siblings Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal had the opportunity to meet up at their father's wedding, they were determined to spend as much time as possible together.

Following the nuptials earlier this week, Jake and Maggie were seen hitting the surf in North Shore Oahu, Hawaii on Wednesday.

Beach bodies: Jake showed off his buff physique in a pair of blue swimming shorts, while Maggie opted for a black strapless swimsuit


And it seems the pair were competing for the best beach body as they strolled into the water.

While Maggie showed off her slender frame in a chic strapless black swimsuit, Jake caused a stir as he displayed his enviably muscular physique in a pair of printed blue swimming shorts.

In a recent interview, Jake said it was his sister's love of acting and musical theatre which first inspired him to get into the industry.

Bit cold? The pair had a quick dip but appeared to have found the water slightly too cool as they made their way out

He said: 'Some of my earliest memories are of my sister coming back from doing a rehearsal for some musical during elementary school.

'I would watch her, and I realized that she got attention that way. I joined her and we would put on shows together and she would always boss me around.

'She would put on a stage performance of Cats, and I would be a lone, poor cat sitting in the corner while my sister performed. I never got to be the star. I did everything wrong according to her.'

But Jake said recently he has no desire to collaborate with Maggie on a film project any time soon, after they appeared together in Donnie Darko in 2001.

He said: 'I love her a lot, but we don't go around looking for something to work on together.

'I would rather spend time with my niece and spend time as brother and sister.

'It would take something that I love so much, that I would need her to be a part of, and vice versa.'

Jake and Maggie took a back seat earlier this week as they attended the wedding of their father Stephen to filmmaker and professor Kathleen Man.

The informal ceremony took place on the beach in front of just 30 guests.

Man is a Hawaii native who graduated from the Punahou School, where President Obama went to high school, in 1992.

He split from Naomi Foner nearly three years ago after 32 years. Jake and Maggie's mother Naomi is also in the showbiz industry.

The American screenwriter even earned herself an Oscar nomination and won a Golden Globe for River Phoenix screenplay Running On Empty.

Stephen and his new bride were both dressed in white, feeling the water between their toes as they walked barefoot on the sand.

What I wore today: Blogger who chronicles every outfit becomes internet sensation

By Daily Mail Reporter


Sophisticated: Poppy, from Guildford, Surrey, has won an army of female fashion followers with her funky outfits and style tips


For evidence that social networking websites fuel an unhealthy fascination with the everyday lives of others, look no further than Poppy Dinsey.

The 24-year-old blogger has become an internet sensation by posting pictures of herself online wearing a different outfit for every day of the year.

She has won female fashion followers with her designer dresses and style tips.

Fashionista: Poppy Dinsey has been posting what she wore every day on her blog 'What I Wore Today' and has become an internet sensation

Variety: Poppy shows her support for the national team, and in a cosy looking furry scarf


Male admirers, meanwhile, have appreciated shots of the brunette dressing in a saucy Santa costume on Christmas Day and a plunging top on National Cleavage Day.

Poppy, of Guildford, Surrey, started her ‘What I Wore Today’ blog on January 1 last year after making a New Year resolution to vary her outfits.

Her site now attracts 90,000 visitors a month and she is planning to expand it into an entire social network for fashion fans to upload their own pictures.

Poppy, who studied economics at University College, London, was working for a property search engine when she went on holiday to California in December 2009.

She says: ‘I came up with a New Year's resolution to try and wear something different every day, take a picture on my iPhone and upload it.

‘The previous year I'd decided to always have nice nails, so it seems my resolutions are quite girly.

Swimwear: Poppy posts her favourite bikinis online during the summer months to show off her figure - and the swimsuits

Casual wear: Poppy displays a one-piece hooded tracksuit on a casual day alongside her trendy glasses

Party clothes: Poppy's racy costumes have earned her plenty of male admirers

Glamourpuss: Poppy shows off some more of her party wear


‘Partly, it was just that I was feeling smug wearing a dress in California and wanted to show it off to people shivering in a coat in England.

‘It was a completely throwaway project. I had no idea how big it would become.’

Poppy's first post read: 'Hopefully by the end of 2010, I will have posted 365 photos of what I wear each day.

‘There is zero point to this blog other than to persuade me to wear a lot more of my rather extensive wardrobe.'

As she quickly won a loyal following, she accompanied the pictures with humorous and saucy comments.

A jumper featuring a reindeer was captioned 'Well Christmassy. Cut me, I bleed port'.

Under a shot of her in pyjamas she wrote 'Yes, I did get new pyjamas for Christmas. Yes, they do match my ginger teddy'.

Summertime: Poppy shows off her summer wardrobe by posting T-shirts and shorts on her blog - and of course her sunglasses

Patterns: The 24-year-old displays a dress and play suit with cute patterns on for any occasion


And she said of her sexy Santa costume on Christmas Day: 'I am still so drunk enough to think this is appropriate attire for the grandparents'.

Modelling a demure dress, she wrote: 'I look surprisingly 'pleasant' today like butter wouldn't melt. It is a mistake I assure you.'

On National Cleavage Day, she said of her plunging top: 'Apparently it's National Cleavage Day?! I remember being thoroughly disappointed last year when I missed it, choosing some sort of puritan sacking dress instead (unusual, admittedly, as I do tend to have my boobs on display one way or another).'

Explaining her success with the site, Poppy said: ‘It only takes 30 seconds to check the site and women know they are going to see a different outfit every day. It does become addictive.

‘I am a normal person, not a size 6 and even if I am tired or sick I post a picture.

‘People get ideas of things to wear and how to mix them in a more realistic way than you see in some magazines.

Corporate cool: The fashion blogger takes photos of herself in office-appropriate outfits on her iPhone and posts them on her blog

Say cheese: The blogger keeps going and make sure to takes her picture every day of the year, even if she's sick or tired


‘There is a male following too. Right from the beginning, a lot of guys have been looking. They often ask me advice for what to buy their wives or girlfriends.’

Poppy has turned the site into a business model with users able to click on links to buy the outfits featured.

She has also been hired by retailers as a fashion guru and has reported from London Fashion Week and music festivals.

She now plans to expand the site into a social network where anyone can upload their daily outfits with competitions where users vote for ‘the most fashionable’ efforts.

This is my serious face: Poppy in a demure, daytime outfit and, right, as a sexy Santa

Business woman: Poppy has turned the site into a business model with users able to click on links to buy the outfits featured


Poppy said: ‘Rather than just doing a blog about myself, which has been my self-indulgent project until now, I'm launching as a proper social networking site where people can upload their own outfits.

‘We are already testing the site with about 100 people, and are almost ready to go.’

The site will come with an iPhone app, allowing users to take pictures of themselves easily and then tag the clothes they are wearing.

Visitors using links to buy the clothes will earn a sales percentage for the site, while those uploading pictures earn points which can be swapped for store discounts.

Poppy said: ‘It's a lot like tagging friends in Facebook but you'll be tagging clothes. It's very simple, and I hope people will want to do it every day.’

That outfit's a write off! Katie Price sports garish gold catsuit with excerpts from her book Comeback Girl written on it at launch

By Holly Thomas


Blonde ambition: Despite saying recently that she preferred her hair dark, Katie seemed prepared to make as much of her gigantic golden locks as possible


No-one ever expected Katie Price to shy away from the limelight at what she hoped would be a 'record breaking' book signing.

And given her trend for traffic-stopping attire on these occasions, fans were doubtless eager to see what the glamour model would turn up in for her latest effort, Comeback Girl.

It's safe to say that Katie didn't disappoint. Wearing a golden superhero-style catsuit inscribed with lines from her new book, and a belt made out of miniature versions of the cover, subtlety was not the order of the day.


The sparkly bra, heavy make-up and trademark gigantic hair added to the show and perhaps even heart stopping look.

Katie pulled out all the stops to ensure she bagged the 1,952 signatures she needed to break the current record for book signings in one sitting currently held by former world chess champion, Anatoli Karpov, who signed 1951 copies of his book within 8 hours in 2006.

Writing on her official site, Katie promised: 'Everyone who attends the event will be able to have their name included in the acknowledgements for my next novel when it comes out in October. And they will also receive an exclusive woven wristband to mark their participation on the day.'

Tacky: Katie's catsuit was covered in phrases from the book, while her belt was made from mini versions of the cover


Possibly Katie feared even these temptations wouldn't prove sufficient, adding a strange further incentive: 'Plus, one lucky person will be randomly picked to appear in the book as a character. Just think how jealous your friends would be!'

To add to the anticipation, Katie tweeted shortly before the signing: 'Woo hoo so excited about my signing! Leaving soon just trying to squeeze in my cat suit ha ha xx'

Sadly, it was not meant to be as Liz Smith, Records Manager at Guinness World Records, said: 'Unfortunately on this occasion Katie did not successfully achieve a new record, but we hope to welcome her for another record attempt in the future..'

Loyal: Despite Katie's fall from public favour in recent years she still has a devoted fan base

Patient: Fans queued up outside the O2 Academy in Leeds to get personalised signatures from their idol


And Katie added: 'Wow! That was amazing!! What a shame we didn't quite break the record but we were close. Thanks so much to everyone who came along to support me.

It's been a really brilliant day and I loved every minute.

'My fans really are the best and it was great so many of them came out to try and help me do this. Woohoo! The Comeback Girl is already at number 1!'

Katie has a history of wearing controversial outfits for her book signings, notably her children's book Mermaids and Pirates, for which she dressed up as an actual mermaid.

Proud: Katie was pleased with the turnout, tweeting her thanks to fans after the signing and excitedly announcing that her book had already 'shot' to number one

Mission (not quite) accomplished: Katie retreated to her Rolls Royce still clutching her book, Comeback Girl


She has recently been criticised for her unkind revelation that she 'never loved' her husband Alex Reid, from whom she is now separated.

However despite appearances (and a long history of post-divorce animosity) it seems things are more settled between Katie and her other ex Peter Andre.

Andre met Katie's current boyfriend Leandro Penna when all three of them turned up to see Katie and Peter's son Junior take part in his school sport's day.

Andre reportedly shook Leanro's hand, later saying that he 'seemed like a very nice man'.

Always grabbing the eye: Katie has a history of wearing outrageous outfits to her book signings and launches

No stone unturned: Kate has even launched a line of equestrian clothing, inspired by her love of riding and the colour pink

Like father, like son: Justin Bieber and dad's matching Hebrew tattoos

By Daily Mail Reporter


Matching: Justin Bieber and his father Jeremy both had tattoos inked on their torsos earlier this year in Israel as this newly released photo shows


Justin Bieber and his father pose topless, showing off their matching tattoos.

A newly-released photo shows the father and son in Israel earlier this year where they had the etching done together.

The pair had the word 'Yeshua,' which means Joshua in Hebrew, etched onto the left side of their torsos.


Bieber first showed off the etching when he went on a Hawaii break with girlfriend Selena Gomez in May.

It came as Justin's second tat, with the teen seemingly sharing his father's love of the ink.

The Baby singer also has an etching of seagull on his left hip, which he had done to celebrate turning 16.

Unveiled: Bieber first showed off the inking in May during a Hawaii break with girlfriend Selena Gomez

More ink: The singer has two tattoos - the Hebrew inking and a seagull, which he had done when he turned 16


Justin's Christian faith is important to him, with the star saying prayers in English and Hebrew before going on stage to perform.

The singer was raised primarily by his mother Pattie Mallette, but he has remained close to his father over the years.

'I have a great relationship with my dad,' he told Seventeen last year.

'When I was younger, he taught me how to play some songs on the guitar, like 'Knockin' on Heaven's Door' by Bob Dylan.'

'He taught me how to drive, too," Justin added. 'He's cool.'

Seconds out! Crystal Harris lands low blows on Hugh Hefner after revealing unsavoury bedroom secrets

By Mike Larkin


Low blow: Crystal Harris hit former fiance Hugh Hefner below the belt when she appeared on the Howard Stern Show


Legendary Lothario Hugh Hefner is idolised by his followers around the world because of his decades of experience with model girlfriends.

But it looks like the the Playboy mogul will have to fight to save his reputation following explosive claims made by his former fiance Crystal Harris.

The glamour model could not resist hitting her ex-fiancé below the belt when she appeared on shock jock Howard Stern’s show today.


The 24-year-old did not mind fighting dirty despite the fact she walked out on Hefner days before their planned wedding in June.

Harris said sex with the 85-year-old Playboy founder lasted 'like two seconds'.

She added: 'Then I was just over it. I was like, 'Ahhh.' I was over it.

'I just like, walked away. I'm not turned on by Hef, sorry.'

She dealt a further blow to the ladies man's reputation when she revealed they had only been intimate once.

Crystal clear: Harris made sure Hefner knew she did not love him by ditching him days before their planned wedding in June


She said: 'He doesn't really take off his clothes. I've never seen Hef naked.'

Harris has already moved on from her relationship with the 85-year-old magazine publisher.

She has been spotted spending a great deal of time with the Jordan McGraw, son of Oprah Winfrey star Dr. Phil.

Despite denying rumours of a romance with the songwriter last month, she was spotted out with him at high-end New York bar Knave.

Dumb blonds? Hugh with his ex lovers Bridget Marquardt, Holly Madison and Kendra Wilkinson in 2006


An bystander told People: ‘They were joined by two women who stayed for about an hour,

‘Crystal was drinking mojitos and laughing, and Jordan was sipping a drink on the rocks.

‘But once their friends left, they really settled in and seemed more and more comfortable.’

However she is not the only one to move on from their disastrous engagement.

Hefner has already announced he has two new girlfriends since their split last month.

He has previously dated up to seven models at once, with conquests including Brande Roderick, Izabella St. James, Tina Marie Jordan, Holly Madison, Bridget Marquardt, and Kendra Wilkinson.

Despite barely being able to see his hand without a magnifying glass, Danielle Lloyd insists her premature son is making progress.

The former Celebrity Big Brother contestant posted a picture of Harry's tiny paw clutching her finger on Twitter today.

His little pink claw looked minute as it wrapped around mummy, with the first signs of his nails forming.

Life hung in the balance for Danielle and fiancé Jamie O'Hara's son when he was born on July 13.

Their new addition to the family was born ten weeks early, weighing in at just 4lb 4oz.

He was immediately put on a ventilator to assist with his breathing, but doctors remained positive from the start.

A spokesperson said at the time: 'Baby O'Hara has been moved to a special Neonatal Unit at a hospital sixty minutes from Danielle and Jamie's home in the Midlands.

'The baby is currently on a positive pressure ventilator (PPV) to assist with his breathing but doctors are very positive and Jamie and Danielle are very thankful to the medical team for all they are doing.

'The couple have decided on the name Harry James O'Hara for their new son. Finally, they have been overwhelmed and are grateful for all the kind messages of support that they have received.'

The couple became parents for the first time in July 2010 when they welcomed Archie into the world.

Genius, but Amy's was not a life to admire

By AMANDA PLATELL

A friend of Amy Winehouse conceded after she drank herself to death on Saturday that, yes she had her problems, but ‘she never did anyone any harm’.

If only that were true. The packets of cigarettes and bottles of vodka, beer and rum left outside her home in Camden, North London, by adoring fans bear testimony to how much she affected vulnerable young people.



Along with flowers and farewell notes, this was their way of saying goodbye to a woman they worshipped and emulated — not just because she was a musical genius, but also, I suspect, because of her car-crash lifestyle.

How tragic that her fans think a bottle of Smirnoff is a fitting farewell to a woman they loved — for it was vodka that killed her.

Or that a packet of cigarettes was an appropriate offering to leave at this shrine, given she suffered from emphysema, a smoking-related lung disease.


Amy’s love of vodka was legendary. Even in her hard-drinking, rock  ’n’  roll set, no one had ever seen anyone drink so much of it so fast. In her final few weeks, she had been found comatose several times by her bodyguards after binges.

How can her lifestyle be seen as glamorous after she died in such terrible and lonely circumstances?

I’m not sure what’s saddest: that this recovering drug addict was annihilating herself with spirits, having been ‘clean of drugs’ — so her father says — for 18 months; or that it was not a friend, lover, mother or any other family member who found her body, but a security guard, someone paid to watch over her.


We’ve come a long way from the days after Princess Diana’s death when people left carpets of flowers outside Kensington Palace. Today, it’s bottles of the vodka that killed their heroine.

Amy’s music was so resonant not just because of her talent, but because she sang of her isolation and pain.


This was a young woman who came from a broken home and whose relationships always seemed to result in despair.

Her very public solution to easing this pain was to take drugs and to drink. Her life was a lesson in self-destruction. The tragedy is that it wasn’t just for her, but for countless other young women who hero-worshipped her.

The result was that, for the vulnerable and impressionable, I fear Amy Winehouse made crack cocaine cool. She made alcoholism attractive. She made abusive, violent relationships exciting.

Even when her ballet pumps were covered in blood after she’d injected heroin between her toes or when she was photographed battered and bruised after yet another encounter with her husband Blake Fielder-Civil, young women empathised with her.One obituary said: ‘Rock stars act out our wildest desires and darkest dramas on our behalf so we do not have to.’



Would that it always were the case. After all, if Amy Winehouse could get hammered and out of her head yet still tour the world and make millions, what was the problem with her lifestyle?

For an answer, you have only to visit any High Street on a Saturday night to find countless wasted young women so drunk they don’t care what man they go off with, so out of their heads on drugs they’re anyone’s.

And why should they think this is anything other than normal behaviour when their idol Amy Winehouse downed six shots of tequila for breakfast?



For all her talent, she was a role model of the worst kind. And her eight years in the music business mirror a shocking increase in alcohol among women.

Figures published in 2009 showed 250 girls were arrested every day for violence, mostly fuelled by alcohol. One in four were aged between ten and 17.

In the years Amy was a star, a generation of ladettes was born, out of their heads and out of control, but thinking they were oh-so-cool.
