Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie look so in love at charity ball

A newly released unauthorised biography claims there are 'irreparable tensions' in Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's relationship, but there was certainly no sign of strain as they attended a charity ball in Los Angeles last night.

The tactile couple didn't leave each other's side as they mingled among the star-studded crowd at a UNICEF ball at the Beverly Wilshire.

The couple, who have six children, revelled in their night off parent duty and stole romantic moments at every opportunity.


Angelina, 34, a UNICEF ambassador, was seen gazing adoringly at her 46-year-old partner of five years and at one point ran her fingers through his hair.

While there were a host of stars at the event, including George Clooney, Matt Damon, Bruce Willis and Cindy Crawford, the couple were most interested in chatting with time with surprise guest Muhammad Ali.
They both appeared star-struck as they shook hands with the former boxer, who is considered one of the greatest heavyweight championship boxers of all time.

Angelina even launched in for a hug with the 67-year-old, who suffers from Parkinson's Syndrome.

It was clear that the Hollywood couple remain unshaken by the allegations made in Ian Halperin's new book, Brangelina: The Untold Story of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

'They've broken up so many times it would make your head spin,' the author claims, declaring the couple will break up by 'Christmas 2010.'

But it all looked rosy last night as they put their support behind the charity.

The evening was designed to honour individuals who made key contributions to UNICEF's mission to save and improve children lives worldwide.

Producer and long-time philanthropist Jerry Weintraub was honored as Man of the Year with UNICEF's Danny Kaye Humanitarian Award.

The evening raised more money for the organisation than any UNICEF Ball to date.



Weintraub, Pitt, Clooney, Damon and Don Cheadle allo donated $250,000 to help the organisation's mission to reduce the number of preventable deaths of children from 24,000 to zero.

Weintraub directed the actor's in Ocean's Eleven and it's follow-up franchise.

Other guests included Joan Collins, Larry David, Selena Gomez, Benji Madden and Joel Madden and Alyssa Milano.

Katie Price returns to jungle for a second stint on I'm A Celebrity to 'give her side of the story'

Model Katie Price is gearing up to appear in I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! for a second time - becoming the first ever star to return to the jungle.

The glamour girl has decided to return to the Australian bush because she wants the public to see the real her - and after agreeing a deal for £350,000.

Ms Price believes that going back into the jungle will help her regain the initiative in the ongoing PR battle with ex-husband Peter Andre.


Explaining her decision, Ms Price told a friend: 'It will help me communicate with the public directly and not through third parties.'

The figure Price is to receive represents a record amount for any contestant. ITV are to formally announce the full line-up for this year's series tomorrow.

A TV source revealed: 'She is ratings dynamite. She has always been hugely popular on ITV and she's seriously outspoken. And with the break-up of her marriage being so high profile, her appearance - and her comments - are sure to be explosive.'
It is believed that Ms Price, who has commitments in the U.S. when the show starts on Sunday, will be flown into the jungle after the other contestants, arriving unannounced for maximum impact.

MailOnline first told last week how ITV bosses were hoping to entice Jordan into the jungle.

At the time, she turned down the offer, then demanded £450,000 but now appears to have changed her mind.
She will be the first contestant to re-enter the jungle, where she will be expected to camp without home comforts and take part in a series of challenges which usually involve swimming through infested rivers and eating horrible bugs.

Her last appearance on the show in 2004 proved compelling viewing as the nation watched her and Andre's growing friendship.

She paraded around the jungle in a white bikini, a fairly transparent tactic usually adopted by the curviest contestants.

She was voted out and arch-rival Kerry Katona went on to win that year.

After the show finished, she and Andre embarked on a real-life romance and married in 2005. Their first child, Junior, was born the same year. Their second child, Princess, was born in 2007.

Having caught the bug for reality television, the pair began to live their lives on screen and their fly-on-the-wall series, which followed their lives both in the UK and the U.S., became one of ITV2's most watched programmes




This year, though, the couple announced they were splitting after almost four years of marriage, leading to a bitter public break-up.

It is not known whether she had to secure Andre's agreement to go back on the show or whether she plans to leave her three children with her cagefighter boyfriend Alex Reid.

Price will be up against another ex-Page 3 model on the show, former 1980s Page 3 star Sam Fox, who is rumoured to be netting around £60,000 for the show.

Ex-footballer Colin Hendry, snooker player Jimmy ‘Whirlwind’ White, Mis-Teeq pop star Sabrina Washington and TV presenters Colin McAllister and Justin Ryan are also taking part.

Former Strictly Come Dancing dancer Camilla Dallerup, ex-soccer hardman Vinnie Jones, former Coronation Street actor Bruce Jones, ex-WAG Lizzie Cundy and former EastEnder Robert Kazinsky - who played Stacey's brother Sean in the soap - are also tipped to appear.






Interior design TV presenters Colin McAllister and Justin Ryan are renowned for their frequent bickering, fussiness and tantrums on screen and are expected to liven up the show.

The pair have also been a couple for 22 years and married in a civil partnership last year in London.

They are reportedly being paid £65,000 each to appear in the three-week show.

Last night, former EastEnder Lucy Benjamin, whose greatest claim to fame is shooting Phil Mitchell on EastEnders, and Kim Woodburn, from How Clean Is Your House?, were also both seen at the airport today and are also believed to be flying out to Australia for the series.

As she falls out of yet ANOTHER revealing outfit, would you take style advice from Katie Price?

With the upcoming publication of her style advice book, it seems Katie Price is putting a lot of thought into what she's wearing.

Weather you'd want to look like her is another matter.

The heavily tanned glamour model left her hotel in London last night, falling out of a black corset dress with feathered skirt.

The corset struggled to contain her inflated chest, which at times she held in an attempt to prevent embarrassment.

And her blue suede heels may have been fashionable, but they didn't add to her over the top outfit.

Her alter ego Jordan made her name from the lack of clothes she wore, and as Katie Price her spectacular array of outfits have courted attention for their in-your-face garishness.

However, in defiance of her critics, Katie Price is set to release her Standing Out guide next week, featuring an in-depth look at her changing wardrobe over the years and step-by-step advice on how to recreate some of the former glamour models most famous guises.




Never one to shy away from the limelight, Katie offers tips on how to achieve the 'Jordan' look - platform stripper heels with ankle socks and Wonderbra a must - as well as choosing the perfect wedding dress, a make-up masterclass and plastic surgery advice.

You may wonder what Katie is doing writing a style guide, and even the author herself makes it clear in the introduction that readers may draw the same conclusion, so perhaps it is more of a statement on how not to dress.

Whatever your opinion it certainly makes for an entertaining read as the guide takes us through the the outlandish outfits which have been just as colourful as Katie's private life.

So in celebration of the 'style icon' grab your sequined hotpants and fake tan as we take a look back at Katie's trademark wardrobe over the years...



In the book Katie shares 'My ten style commandments' with her fans. Here we see what we can learn from the horse-loving model.

1) Make sure you match.

Katie's obviously escaped the recession: 'I even choose my diamonds to make sure they co-ordinate with my look. For example, if a ring's got a pink stone in it I wouldn't wear it with a blue outfit.'

It's not a concern that worries most of us, but Katie is quick to reassure any worried fans that she has a solution.

'Luckily my big diamond ring goes with everything, but it's usually in our safe at home and even I don't know how to unlock it! Besides, it's not practical to wear it all the time because it's so bloody big.'

2) Don't be afraid of colour.

Just glancing at this page will show Katie is pretty fearless when it comes to colour - especially pink.

'I usually wear bright colours as I like to have a happy aura,' she reveals. But there are times when she resorts to black. 'If I've put on a bit of weight or feel bloated - I always turn to black clothes for their slimming effect.'

3) Grooming - it's not just for horses.

No, grooming is also for Katie Price. 'If I've chipped a nail - oh my god, I just wouldn't feel happy leaving the house.'

4) Keep it comfy...

She may be famed for her skin-tight, revealing outfits, but Katie is a normal girl at heart. And she wants her friends to feel relaxed too.

'Whenever friends come round my house I like them to be comfy too, so I'll ask them to bring their pyjamas or trackies and get changed when they arrive.

5) ...But suffer to be stunning.

She might be newly divorced, but Katie's wedding is still on her mind.

'At my wedding I wore three huge hairpieces to walk down the aisle. It was bloody heavy, I can tell you, but it was well worth it for the effort.'


6) Don't be a slave to fashion

How does Katie make sure she stands out? Think sparkles - and scissors. 'I'll always customise an outfit with diamante studs or cut it up to make something completely unique.'

7) Never worry about the weather - or what other people think.

'In my head it's always warm and sunny - the central heating is always on full blast at home anyway.'

8) Confidence is key.

It seems even fat girls can look good - as long as their nails are immaculate, that is.

'I look at shapely girls like J.Lo and Beyonce and think, if I were that big I wouldn't have the balls to wear something so revealing. But they are obviously so confident and comfortable with themselves they just look fantatsic and sexy.'


9) Don't forget to look in the mirror - from all angles!

You may think this is advice Katie could do with, but it seems she meant to look like that.

'There's been confident, and then there's been deluded,' she reveals.

'These women probably think people are staring at them because they're looking hot, whereas what they're actually thinking is, Bloody hell, how horrific are those stretch marks? You've got to be realistic.' Indeed.

10) You don't have to splash the cash to look good.

This may sound a bit rich from someone who co-ordinates their diamonds, but Katie really means it.

'These days the high street is so good you can look fabulous on a tight budget,' she advises.

Mind you, it's easier when you don't have to.

'The other day I spent seventeen grand on Versace bedding at harrods. It was ridiculous. I just thought, Well I better have the best f-ing sleep ever.'






Britney Spears is racy in lace as she films video for controversial new song 3

Cavorting with two men in a skimpy see-through lace outfit, this is Britney Spears filming scenes for her latest controversial song 3.

The track has already claimed the top spot in the U.S. charts and is taken from her forthcoming album The Singles Collection, released next month.

Masterminded by Max Martin - the producer who helped catapult 16-year-old Spears into the world spotlight with Hit Me Baby One More Time 10 years ago - the lyrics fall back on the Britney tried and tested sexy routine.
While the lyrics are less controversial than her last hit If you seek Amy (which refers to sexual intercourse), the song mentions 'Peter, Paul and Mary' - not a homage to the 60's folk group, but a sexual slangword for a threesome.

On the track, Britney, 27, sings: 'Three is a charm, two is not the same, I don't see the harm, so are you game?'

And the video was also shot in true Britney style, with the mother of two spending most of her time grinding against two muscular male dancers in the lace outfit.
She then switched to a flesh coloured leotard to continue the steamy routine, which she filmed in Los Angeles last week.

Britney, who is now being managed and mentored by her father Jamie Spears, seems well on the road to recovery after her well-documented breakdown last year.

Millions of adoring fans watched her flashy Circus tour complete with big-top, acrobats, clowns and jugglers, which earned Britney $74.6million in its first 48 shows but was not loved by critics, who compared her to a miming robot.
Her new song 3 will be released in the UK to buy in shops on November 16, ahead of her The Single Collection, set to hit shelves on November 23.

In a statement, Britney said: 'I want to thank my fans for making 3 the No. 1 song on the Billboard Hot 100.

'I am truly blessed with the greatest fans in the world and I am so happy y'all love it because I do this all for you.'

Spears has sold more than 63 million albums worldwide since her debut as a teen pop phenomenon with the single Baby One More Time, which was released internationally in 1999.

Heidi Klum's enormous bump takes centre stage at the Emmys

She’s just weeks away from giving birth to her fourth child in five years, and it was Heidi Klum’s bump that took centre stage at the Emmys last night as the supermodel hit the red carpet in a stunning black dress.

The 36-year-old, who wore her hair tied back in an elegant bun, was glowing as she posed for photographers outside the Nokia Theatre alongside singer husband Seal.

She later told reporters that there was a major benefit to being pregnant at the event, she didn’t have to worry about sucking her tummy in.
‘The great thing about being pregnant and going to these things is that I don’t have to suck my stomach in,’ she said. ‘It’s fabulous! I can let it all out.’

Klum was wearing a Marchesa gown designed by Georgina Chapman, but said she hadn’t put much thought into her attire।
‘It wasn’t really hard for me, but it was hard for the woman that designed a dress for me,” she told People.com.

‘She started about two or three months ago and that’s kind of difficult…It’s black because I figure, at eight-and-a-half months, black is better! I think it’s elegant and it’s slimming.’
‘It wasn’t really hard for me, but it was hard for the woman that designed a dress for me,” she told People.com.

‘She started about two or three months ago and that’s kind of difficult…It’s black because I figure, at eight-and-a-half months, black is better!The Victoria's Secret star, who was nominated for best reality show host for Project Runway but lost out to Survivor presenter Jeff Probst, has attended the prestigious awards show five consecutive times in the last five years, and has been pregnant during three.

Last night she had firefighters worried that she might give birth on the red carpet.

'Hey, did you see Heidi Klum? She's like 8 months pregnant. So you be ready, you might have to deliver,' fire Inspector Jim Fisher was overheard telling colleague Craig Hancock as they and other authorities brought the VIPs into the Nokia Theatre.I think it’s elegant and it’s slimming.’
The German born model - who has three children, Leni, 5, from her relationship with Flavio Briatore, Henry, 3, and Johan, 2, - insists her fourth baby will be her last.

She says: 'We're outnumbered... four is perfect - three is a lot, but four? It's a lot of work.'

The couple are yet to settle on a name for the baby.

'Because we know it's going to be our last baby, it's way harder. We've never had this back and forth before,' said the star, adding they hope 'the light bulb will come on' when they see their new daughter.
