'I was nicknamed duck-bum!': Kimberley Walsh opens up about her body image issues

By Iona Kirby





Feeling fit: Kimberley Walsh is the new ambassador for PUMA TrainLite trainers





She's the curviest member of Girls Aloud, but Kimberley Walsh has always seemed confident with her womanly figure.



In fact, unlike most of her bandmates, the 29-year-old has maintained a manageable weight throughout her career.



She certainly looks comfortable in her own skin, but Kimberley has revealed she struggled to come to terms with her shape while at school.





The singer was even nicknamed 'duck-bum' by her peers.



She told the new issue of Zest: 'When I was at dance classes in Bradford, my teacher would always shout, "Pull in your bum, Kimberley!"



'And I’d say, "I’m trying - it just won’t go in!"



'It’s been sticking out since I was two. I had the biggest bum out of about fifty girls in my class.'



And Kimberley says she has a fellow popstar to thank for helping her realise that her curves are beautiful.



Body confident: Kimberley, pictured here greeting fans at the Horrid Henry premiere, is finally happy with her 'normal' figure





It was when Beyoncé shot to stardom that Kimberley learned how to dress for her shape.



'We were exactly the same age and she looked amazing, so I started to dress like her and suddenly my shape made sense,' Kimberley said.



'I’d think: "Oh, yes. Beyoncé’s wearing a figure-hugging dress and drawing attention to her tiny waist", so I’d buy a new dress and a large belt, go out and pretend to be Beyoncé. She was a great alter ego for me.'



Supportive: Sarah Harding and Nicola Roberts join Kimberley at premiere





Beyoncé's influence has clearly stuck, as Kimberley usually does a great job of dressing to show off her best assets.



She stole the show at the premiere for her new film Horrid Henry at the end of last month.



The star looked radiant in a bright red dress and lipstick to match, and was joined on the red carpet by fellow bandmates Sarah Harding and Nicola Roberts.



Red hot? Girls Aloud looked very different back in 2003



Glam: By 2009 the girls had a much more glamorous look





The film is based on the popular children's books of the same name, in which Kimberley plays Horrid Henry's cousin, Prissy Polly.



She follows in the footsteps of Sarah, who launched into the acting world with a role in the two St. Trinian's films.



Kimberley also spoke out in the interview about about exercising with the rest of the Girls Aloud group.



'Some days, we’d all work out together. It was very amusing.



'Nadine can’t run at all. Her legs are so thin, all she does is say: "It hurts to run,''' Kimberley said.



Until Beyoncé came along, Kimberley says she had an unrealistic idea of how her body should look.



‘I grew up thinking Kate Moss was the perfect woman but that was a totally unachievable body shape for me. It was never ever going to happen,' she said.



Now, Kimberley seems to have embraced her body. She has recently landed a role as the ambassador for PUMA TrainLite trainers.



But she maintains that while she has confidence in it, her figure is nothing special.



She added: 'I hate the word "normal" but that's what I am.'

Taking style tips from the beau was a bad idea: Sienna Miller shows off scruffy style jetting into Ibiza with boyfriend Tom

By Daily Mail Reporter





What happened? Sienna Miller showed off a scruffy style with dip dyed hair and mismatched clothing as she jetted into Ibiza with her beau Tom





She has been dating Tom Sturridge since April and it is hardly surprising that Sienna Miller has found herself influenced by him.



But it appears that the usually stylish Sienna, 29, has started taking style inspiration for her boyfriend and has adopted a scruffy new look.



The model and actress jetted into Ibiza with Tom last week and displayed a mis-matched casual ensemble and crucially messy dip dyed hair.





Sienna, who is known for being a blonde bombshell, has ditched her luscious light locks in favour of a multi-tonal colour with pink ends.



The Alfie star was dressed in a pair of skinny grey jeans, brown boots, a long T-shirt and a short blue knitted jumper, which made for a mismatched look as she arrived into the party island.



Tom, 25, was sporting his unkempt beard a navy jumper and black jeans with the couple appearing to mimic the others attire.



Where's the glamour: The actress appears to have been taking style tips from her boyfriend and is sporting a much more casual style compared with her blonde bombshell persona



Scraggy do: Sienna has dip dyed her hair pink which is a starling new look compared with her sleek blonde hair





Her latest look is starkly contrasting to her usual red carpet ready look or her boho chic style that she is often seen sporting.



It has been reported that Sienna has recently put down a deposit on a £2.9million north London house and she has asked The Boat That Rocked actor to move in with her.



Affectionate: The couple were seen cuddling as they waited for a car. Sienna is said to have put a deposit on a £2.9million London home and asked Tom to move in



Heavy lifter: The actress was more than happy to help out with the luggage





According to the Mirror a source said: ‘This is her dream home and she really can’t wait to move in.’



‘People may think that four months isn’t a very long time for a couple to be together, but Sienna wears her heart on her sleeve.



Sienna was first linked to Tom in April, two months after she split from actor Jude Law.

Pregnant Jessica Alba raises belly laughs in birthing class sketch with Jimmy Kimmel - where HE has a child called Pippa Middleton

By Jody Thompson





Scroll down to watch the sketch...



Belly laughs: Pregnant Jessica Alba raises more than a few giggles in her birthing class sketch with comedian Jimmy Kimmel which aired in the U.S. last night





Heavily-pregnant Jessica Alba showed she was still game for a laugh literally days away from the birth of her second child by taking part in a hilarious comedy birthing class sketch on Jimmy Kimmel's U.S. chat show last night.



Jimmy stands in for Jessica's husband Cash Warren in the skit and joins sultry Jessica, 30, at her birthing class.



In the hilarious sketch on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Jimmy, 43, starts goofing around as soon as he gets there, asking the birthing educator taking the class: 'How are babies made?'



Gather round: Kimmel was pretending he was standing for Jessica's husband, Cash Warren



This is how it feels: The funnyman was asked to don an 'empathy belly'





He then is asked to wear an 'empathy belly' by the teacher and when she asks if any of the mothers-to-be wanted to volunteer to go through a mock birth, Jimmy puts his hand up.



As Jessica takes on the role of the father and helps him push, Jimmy moans: 'Why did you do this to me?'



To which she replies: 'You asked for it!'



After lots of pushing, Kimmel eventually gives birth to the fake baby, and says: 'I want to name it Pippa Middleton.'



Keep pushing: Jimmy then goes through with a mock birth while Jessica pretends to be the father



Fierce: The mother-of-one certainly put Jimmy though his pregnancy paces



And breathe: Jimmy put a lot of effort into the fake birth





In real life, Machete star Jessica is due within the next few weeks, but she's currently busy too promoting new movie Spy Kids: All The Time In The World 4D.



She's understood to be expecting another girl and is planning a 'hypnobirth', and explained to TV chat show host and comedian Ellen Degeneres what it entailed.



She said: 'Basically my husband takes me through sort of a meditation. So he's like saying, 'You're relaxed and you're floating on clouds', while you're going through labour and your contractions.'



Can I hold her? One of the birthday class students can't help corpsing



A father's love: Jimmy cradles the newly mock-born baby



What's in a name? Jimmy named his newborn plastic daughter after Pippa Middleton





She added: 'He just sort of does a guided meditation. I'm just concentrating on breathing and staying relaxed because it's when you get tense that makes the whole labor worse and more painful. That's all it is. It's not like a weird thing.



'I actually did this with Honor…it is kind of a way to relax and know that the contraction will only last for so long. You just need to concentrate on the breathing and just the sound of his voice.



'You know, normally I want to strangle him, but at that moment it's sort of calming and wonderful.'



Jessica's film Spy Kids: All The Time In the World 4D meanwhile opens in the UK in 19 August.



Plugging away: Jessica was also properly interviewed on Jimmy Kimmel Live! ahead of the release of her new movie Spy Kids: All The Time In The World 4D

Pirates and princesses: Knox and Vivienne dress up as mother Angelina Jolie treats her brood to a trip to the Pottery Cafe

By SARAH BULL



Pirates and princesses: Knox went all out in a pirate hat in sunglasses while Vivienne looked cute in her white frilly dress as mother Angelina Jolie treated the family to an afternoon at Richmond's Pottery Cafe



While their father Brad Pitt shoots his new movie World War Z, his children have been living in Richmond with their mother Angelina Jolie.



And Angelina has been doing her utmost to keep her six children occupied during the summer with various excursions.



Today, Hollywood actress Angelina decided to take her family to Richmond's Pottery Cafe for an artistic afternoon of painting.





Dressing up: Angelina's three-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne looked adorable in their outfits





And it seems her three-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne thoroughly got into the spirit of the cafe's 'Pirates and Princesses' summer holiday theme.



A spokesperson at the Pottery Cafe's Richmond branch told MailOnline: 'They all had a lovely afternoon of painting, and we hope to see them again soon!'



While little Vivienne left the venue wearing pretty red glittery shoes and a Princess-style white frilly dress, Knox went all out with his ensemble - donning a black pirate hat and sunglasses, along with a black and red striped top, as mother Angelina led him out of the cafe.





Time to go home: The family had enjoyed an afternoon of painting their own crockery at the venue





And despite most of Angelina's days out with her family have seen her leave one or more of the children at home, today's excursion involved each of her six sons and daughters.



Angelina didn't appear to have enough hands as she attempted to load her brood into a people carrier after their afternoon of fun.



But a proud Shiloh, five, made her own way to the car, carrying a bag packed full of products from the afternoon's activity.





Proud: Five-year-old tomboy Shiloh carried a bag full of the products of the afternoon to the car





Maddox, seemed preoccupied with a balloon from the cafe as the family headed back to their temporary home, while Pax chomped on a cake after his tiring day out.



Meanwhile Zahara clung to her mother's hand as Angelina, who looked chic in a black dress and nude wedge heels, loaded her brood into the vehicle.



Angelina certainly wants to make sure her children are seeing all the sights London has to offer, and last week, took them to the city's Aquarium while Brad was busy filming.



The couple also took their children to the theatre to see Wicked over the weekend, to celebrate Maddox's 10th birthday.





Saying goodbye: Angelina clutched Vivienne and Zahara's hands, while Maddox seemed more interested in blowing up a balloon than getting in to the car





One at a time! Angelina calmly herds her six children into the people carrier as the family head home





Hours of fun: The Pottery Cafe sees parents join in with painting pots and plates with their children

I ding dang do! Paddy McGuiness's dating show Take Me Out scores first engaged couple

By Jody Thompson





TV romance: Kayleigh Kane, flashing her ring, and Fabian De Fabiani have got engaged after meeting on dating show Take Me Out





Saturday night dating show Take Me Out is celebrating its first engagement - but the happy couple almost fell at the first hurdle when the prospective dater rejected his fiancée on the show.



Teacher Fabian De Fabiani, 24, chose another contestant instead of Kayleigh Kane, 22, on the episode of the Paddy McGuinness-hosted show, which was shown on New Year's Day this year.



But afterwards, Fabian realised that he'd picked the wrong girl and tracked nursing student Kaleigh down on Facebook.





He told today's Sun: 'I really kicked myself. She was so beautiful. You go on it, there are all these lights, the adrenalin is going, and I wasn't as observant as I should have been.'



Kaleigh said she had been crushed when he rejected her too, saying: 'I was disappointed. I thought he seemed amazing but he didn't look at me once. I think he was too busy showing off.'



However, she was thrilled when he got in touch after the show - then when they met up properly and went on a date, they realised there was a spark.



Beside the seaside: Fabian proposed to Kayleigh here, on Eastbourne beach in East Sussex





Fabian, from Beckenham, south London, then popped the question to Kayleigh as they walked along the beach near her home in Eastbourne, East Sussex.



The pair told The Sun they will be invited Paddy, 37, famed for his 'ding dang doo!' catchphrase, to their nuptials when the date is finally arranged.



Kayleigh gushed: 'I didn't think I would be the sort of person who would be engaged to someone I met on TV, but it's just amazing.



'He's gorgeous. And he makes me feel like I'm the only woman in the world. He leaves notes telling me he loves me, a T-shirt that smells of him, and has sent flowers.'



At the helm: Take Me Out is hosted by Paddy McGuinness





The fun show features 30 women from across the UK looking for a man.



One single guy then walks into the studio to give his name, age and where he is from.



Each of the girls have a light in front of them and if at any point they decide this guy is not for them, they switch him off.



Take them out: The show features 30 women all looking for Mr Right





Each week, the girls return to the show for another chance to find Mr. Right - and when and if they're chosen, they get sent on a date to mythical nightclub Fernando's, which is also filmed for the show.



The ITV1 show, with the catchphrase 'No likey, no lighty' is currently recruiting prospective contestants for the next series.



Single ladies and gentleman are asked to go to http://www.itv.com/takemeout for all details.

After 20 years of marriage Kris and Bruce Jenner decided to commemorate their love and wedding anniversary the only way they know how - with a lavish, televised vow renewal ceremony.

And to go against every normal wedding tradition, the entire wedding party wore white.

In true Kardashian fashion the entire ceremony was filmed for an upcoming episode of their E! show Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
