Gwyneth Paltrow: Sexy teacher on 'Glee'

There have been many celebrities who have graced the halls of William McKinley High as guest stars in hit US TV show Glee.

And among the most highly-anticipated celebrity performers on the programme includes Gwyneth Paltrow.

In a new clip from the episode, due to air in America on Tuesday night, the 38-year-old actress is seen wearing a sexy mini-kilt and black knee-high boots as she belts out Cee Lo's Forget You.

Paltrow plays substitute teacher Holly Holiday, who comes into the school when Matthew Morrison's character Will Schuester gets sick with 'monkey flu'.

Singing is something of a new foray for Paltrow, who also performed live at the Country Music Awards earlier this month to sing Country Strong, the title track from her upcoming movie.

And, as well as earning a standing ovation from the audience at the awards, Gwyneth's performance went down incredibly well with her Glee co-stars.

The show's creator Ryan Murphy said: 'She loved it, actually. She's just the best. She's the easiest, breeziest girl around - she's such a professional. She was so prepared, she worked so hard.'

American singer Cee Lo added he was 'flattered' to have had his hit track performed by an Oscar-winning actress on such a popular show.

He said: 'I really am just flattered that not only Glee [covered it, but it was Gwyneth singing.

'I didn't realize when we first did the clearances for it. I just thought that maybe it would be sung by the cast, but it turns out to be her. I'm like, "That's just, that's too awesome."

But while Gwyneth has wowed fans with her singing voice, she admits taking on a film role which required her to perform was daunting.

However, luckily for her, she was able to call on some of her more famous friends for advice.

Gwyneth said: 'I asked Faith Hill a lot of questions ... and Beyonce actually too. I studied Beyoncé a lot and her concerts for her kind of confidence.'

As well as performing Forget You, Gwyneth also sings a mash-up of Rihanna's Umbrella and Singin' In The Rain.

Jane Lynch, who plays cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester in the show, said: 'Gwyneth Paltrow is the substitute and the kids all start to love her, so there's kind of a rivalry between Sue and Gwyneth's character.

'She's got the goods. She can sing, she can dance. I really was [blown away]. I saw them doing a mash up of Singin' in the Rain and Umbrella.

'They are singing and dancing their hearts out and Gwyneth is leading them. She's amazing.'

Mila Kunis: Black Swan Sexy

Mila Kunis looks stunning at the Black Swan closing night gala during AFI FEST 2010 at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood on Thursday (November 11).

The 27-year-old actress wore a black silk crinkle chiffon and grosgrain bow dress from Oscar de la Renta.

Mila had to film a love scene with Natalie Portman for the film, which she found very difficult to do because of their friendship. “It is slightly uncomfortable to have to be intimate with a good friend. The scene’s important for the character, but we went in going, ‘This is going to be a little different,’ yeah,” she told Virgin Media.

“We shot everything both ways. Sometimes I would be the sweet one and Natalie would be the mean one, and then we’d flip it. At the end of the day it was all up to Darren [Afronsky]

Rumer Willis is white hot in a bikini shoot on Malibu beach

Rumer Willis has proved that it's not just her famous mother who knows how to rock a bikini.

The 22-year-old daughter of Charlie's Angels Full Throttle star Demi Moore stripped down to a tiny white swimsuit and a long skirt with ruffles for a photo shoot on the beach in Malibu yesterday.

Despite the chilly autumn day, Rumer proved she was the consummate professional as she posed in her string two-piece.

With her long dark hair flowing loosely down her back, Rumer also slipped on a crocheted white top.

At one point she draped herself across rocks for a seductive, if uncomfortable, pose.

Rumer's career is definitely on the rise. She starred in the horror film Sorority Row last year, has had a recurring role on 90210 and just wrapped filming The Diary of Preston Plummer.

Written and directed by Sean Ackerman, Rumer stars opposite Trevor Morgan in the coming-of-age story about a young man man who drives a young woman to her home on Amelia Island in Florida, where he uncovers dark family secrets.

Next up for Rumer is the film Walks, where she'll star alongside Brittany Snow, Taryn Manning and Lukas Haas. Filming is scheduled to begin next month.

The actress doesn't seem to have time for much of a personal life with so much work, but she has been spotted out and about with actor Chord Overstreet.

Overstreet is one of the newest cast members currently appearing on the hit TV series, Glee.

However, both insist that they are just good friends.

Katie's Secret ; Kinky Costume Steals The Show at Lingerie Spectacular

Even surrounded by scantily clad supermodels, saucy singer Katy Perry is still the centre of attention.

The newlywed star put on a spectacular show as she helped launch the Victoria's Secret fashion gala in New York.

Curvy Katy, 26, left the lingerie firm's skinny supermodel "angels" in the shade as she sang hits, including Teenage Dream and California Gurls.

She started off dressed in a raunchy, low-cut purple bustier befor e changing into a kinky yellow PVC dress and thigh-high lace- up black boots.

The 29-year-old Brazilian model led the $2mi l l ion diamond bra she was showing off last month in the Big Apple.

Joining her were British model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, who replaced Megan Fox in the cast currently shooting Transformers: The Dark Of The Mo on movie, and Alessandra Ambrosio.

Bingle's baffled by bikini-babe

UH OH. Someone's telling porkies. Lara Bingle says a girl who is claiming to be her cousin isn't a relative at all.

Confidential reported earlier this week that Zoo Weekly Swimsuit Calendar model Nicole King, who claimed to be related to Bingle, took up bikini modelling after being inspired by her "second cousin".

But Bingle, who is filling in for expectant mum Jackie O on 2Day FM, took to the airwaves yesterday to deny the claim, saying she has never heard of this long-lost relative.

"This is so bizarre. I do not, I don't have a cousin," she told co-host Kyle Sandilands. "This is just bizarre."

Bingle added: "I'd be so embarrassed to be lying, I have never even met her in my life, I don't know who she is."

King, meanwhile, is standing firm, saying that her mother, Jennifer King, is a cousin of Bingle's late father, Graham Bingle.

"We are definitely related. My mum and Lara's dad were cousins," King told Confidential. "Of course we're related ... we both look great in a bikini."

Angelina Jolie talks about “extremely sexy” Brad Pitt in Vogue

Brad Pitt is “handsome,” said Angelina Jolie in an interview for the December issue of Vogue. She even says that he is the “extremely sexy”. And if some tabloids talked of a “strained” relationship between Brad and Angelina, the beautiful actress denied any rift between them. She is still madly in love with him.

“I think he’s an extremely sexy — extremely handsome and the most sexy … When I think about him, I just think of the man who’s such a great friend and such an extraordinary father. And that’s when I fall, you know, when I have my moments of getting caught up in how much I love him … it’s usually when I see him with the children,” she says.

Throughout the interview, Angelina also reveals some parts of their private lives, especially concerning their two adopted children, Pax, 6, and Maddox, 9.
The actress tells how she is trying to make the best breakfast in the world and receives daily compliments from her children, but she readily concedes that the kitchen is not really her strong point.

“I’m not the best cook,” Angelina reveals. “Pax is a better cook than me. Pax likes to cook. But I try to when I can. Any house that we’re in, we all chip in. But the kids are very sweet … so enthusiastic anytime I cook. Especially Maddox; he’s just this little man that’s very supportive of me — it’s like he’s raised me a bit. So I cooked them all breakfast before school this morning, and he has that kind of ‘Thanks, Mom! Good job!’”.

Regarding her charity work, Jolie commented, “My children are from the countries that I work in. I don’t see my family as a global family. I don’t see it separate. So when I look at my kids, and I wake up and hear something’s happening in Pakistan, I think: It’s Asians, and my children are from that part of the world. Those kids are very much like my kids. So I’m happy to be able to go.”

On her role in ‘Salt,’ originally meant for Tom Cruise: “I felt it was a weird thing that every time you ask for a strong female role, it’s written in this strange way where it uses sexuality far too much. Or it’s all about being a woman and beating a man. So it wasn’t a surprise to me that the only way to do a strong female role properly was to not have originally written for a woman.”

Miss World 2010 Nude Photo Scandal?

In October, Alexandria Mills became the first American woman to be crowned Miss World, but now rumors of a nude photo have surfaced on the Internet, potentially tarnishing the soft-spoken 18-year-old's wholesome image.

According to RadarOnline.com, the racy photo of Mills was taken this summer.

The celebrity gossip site reports that the picture was taken in what seems to be a bathroom and was originally sent to her boyfriend.

The site says it has seen the photo and has confirmed its authenticity.

Mills took over the Miss World title from Kaiane Aldorino of Gibraltar, who was named Miss World 2009 at a ceremony last December.

Mills is the latest in a growing list of attractive celebrities to have private pics catch the public's eye.

In 2009, Miss California USA Carrie Prejean sued pageant organizers for religious discrimination. But, according to NBC, the legal battle imploded when pageant organizers uncovered a sex tape featuring the Christian beauty queen.

That same year, Ashley Greene, the fresh-faced actress who played Alice Cullen in the box-office hit "Twilight," went on the offensive when nude photos of the 22-year-old surfaced on the web. Greene's lawyer confirmed the authenticity of the shots but threatened to sue anyone who published them, claiming displaying them was unlawful.

Katy Perry helps send sexy Victoria's Secret show out with a bang

Katy Perry led the dance party that doubled as the finale of the 2010 Victoria's Secret fashion show, an annual parade of skimpy, sexy and over-the-top lingerie.

In a yellow, strapless bustier dress covered in pink hearts, Perry - who also wore the thigh-high boots that were a trend among the catwalkers - fit right in with the likes of models Adriana Lima, Chanel Iman and Karolina Kurkova.

Her other outfit was a purple bustier that boasted a bustle.

Perry sang a medley of her own songs, including Teenage Dream, Hot N Cold and California Gurls, but it was Blondie's Call Me booming through the speakers that got the three dozen models bouncing around the stage.

Blondie lead singer Debbie Harry was in the audience along with Serena Williams, Adrian Grenier, Nicky and Paris Hilton and Tyson Beckford.

R&B star Akon got his turn to serenade the models, performing Angel during the section of the show dubbed Heavenly Bodies. There were even a few dance moves between the singer and Lima, donning a $US2 million ($A1.99 million) bra encrusted in Diamiani diamonds and sapphires.

Other themes were the exotic Wild Things, the heavy metal-infused Tough Love, the flirty Pink Planet, the sports-themed Game On, and the wholesome-but-not-really Country Girls. For that, model Lindsay Ellingson put on a straw corset and Alessandra Ambrosio wore a high-neck chiffon baby-doll top with a super-low panties.

Unlike most fashion shows, the clothes here are not all that important, but the elaborate signature wings and other props, including boxing gloves and peacock tails, add to the excitement on the runway.

Victoria's Secret says that underneath all the sparkle, feathers and studs are some push-up bras and lacy bottoms that are sold in stores, but, really, who'd notice?

Several catwalkers got their first pair of wings this year, which is a literal and figurative coronation of the brand's top models. They include Erin Heatherton, Lily Aldridge and Candice Swanepoel.

The difference between some of the newer models and more seasoned VS Angels, however, is an electricity and warmth that was largely missing from the runway. Doutzen Kroes and Miranda Kerr sat out because they are both pregnant, and the company and Heidi Klum, who got the crowd going last year when she bared a toned, fit body just weeks after giving birth, recently ended their affiliation.

Longtime model Isabeli Fontana did enjoy a fully engaging moment during this show when she strutted in a silver bra and sequin swim bottoms carrying an oversized barbell and tossed it to a group of bare-chested male gymnasts.

Fans beg for more nude Kym

It sounds like Street fans want a bit more Carry On with their Corrie.

According to the soap's creator Tony Warren, viewers are desperate for more scenes of Kym Marsh in the buff.

Kym, who plays Michelle Connor, caused a stir last year when her character accidentally dropped her towel in front of a hunky builder as she was getting out of the bath.

Tony said: "Once, I paid for a taxi and didn't have enough change for a tip and the cabbie said, 'Don't worry - just give us another scene of Kym Marsh in a bath tub.'"

The actress herself admitted viewers are still fascinated by that scene.

"Everyone always asks about that and says 'I can't believe you were naked in that scene!' I wasn't actually naked! I didn't actually strip off," she insisted.

Don't ruin the dream Kym!

Jennifer Aniston May Go Topless in Upcoming Flick

Jennifer Aniston is clearly in good shape for a woman of any age -- let alone a 41 year old. Just how good, we may soon find out.

Aniston's co-star in next year's Judd Apatow-produced comedy "Wanderlust," Malin Ackerman, let it slip at yesterday's People's Choice Awards nominee ceremony that Aniston likely plays a nudist in the film.

"Wanderlust" is about a married couple (Aniston and Paul Rudd) who confuse a hippie commune for a B&B, at which point -- all together now! -- hi-jinx ensues. And yes, by hi-jinx we mean peyote-imbibing and bed-hopping, mostly.

When asked by "Us" magazine about the odds of a naked Aniston appearing in the picture, Ackerman demurred: "There's a very big maybe. One of the cast members is a nudist -- I am not the nudist!"

While Ackerman equivocated on the issue, the British press, as you might guess, has been less uncertain. In August the "Daily Mail" ran a story with the headline: "Jennifer Aniston Hoping to Relight Her Box Office Credentials With New Topless Film Role."

The piece went on to report that Aniston's character "also indulges in a threesome with two other women, sleeps around with numerous men and takes drugs."

If true, the role signals a considerable departure for the actress who has built her career on playing sexy but wholesome girls-next-door. But audiences may be growing weary of such characters. Aniston's last film, a rom-com with an unfortunate promotional poster called "The Switch," generated only $42 million at the global box office.

For Rachel Green, er Jennifer Aniston, it could be the right time for a change.

Lindsay Lohan: Topless in Max Magazine

In between stints in rehab, Lindsay Lohan apparently had time to pose topless for Max Magazine for reasons unknown. It's not really anything special.

For one thing, the photo is a little ridiculous. It looks like her breast is hanging out for shock value, which is all good in theory, but it just looks silly.

Furthermore, how many Lindsay Lohan pictures and magazine spreads have you seen like this one? Dozens, most likely. Still, proceed if you wish ...

LOL. Did she miss the top three buttons and happen to crouch down with her chest pushed out? Crazy how these mistakes happen when you're Lindsay Lohan.

Nelly Furtado's secret to being sexy

Nelly Furtado isn't surprised people think she looks good because she's taken so many "sexy vitamins" in the past.

The Canadian singer is currently working on a new album, which will provisionally be released next year. The star is married to sound engineer Demacio 'Demo' CastellĂłn and has seven-year-old Nevis from a previous relationship.

She is proud of her career and the way her life has panned out, especially when she thinks of how much was made of her appearance when she started out.

"It's kind of weird. I get it now that I look back and I go, 'Wow, I was pretty sexy.' I've definitely taken some sexy vitamins in the past! It's cool," she laughed.

"When I first started my career, I didn't like it because I was trying to establish myself as a serious musician before I was a sex symbol."

Nelly is 31, and loves being a young mother. She started wanting kids when she was 20, explaining she couldn't walk past a pregnant woman without feeling a tug in her chest.

Being a mum is the most important thing to Nelly, and she makes sure Nevis understands her job.

"She gets it. I've always explained my job to her," she told Stylist magazine. "Even when I would get ready I would say, 'This is mummy's uniform - I wear all this make-up so it sparkles from 100 meters away and you can see mummy on stage from the audience.'"

Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2010: A View From Backstage

Victoria’s Secret is guarded like a fortress. But a glimpse inside Manhattan’s Lexington Armory Wednesday morning offered a preview of the lingerie maker’s brightest night of the year.

Several hours before the annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, 30 models sat in four rows, each draped in pink robes and flanked with stylists tending to their hair and makeup. Under the spotlight at one end of the room was an arrangement of “100% human hair” extensions, each marked with a model’s name. The day began around 8 a.m. and will carry well into the night after two performances and an afterparty at recently-opened Midtown club.

One model, South Africa’s Candice Swanepoel, could only offer a few details about her three outfits. “They’re all very different,” she said as a stylist arranged clips in her hair. “One is sexy but another is very cute.” Swanepoel is returning for her fourth straight show and says she’s excited about recently becoming a spokesmodel for the brand. In August, she hosted the opening of Victoria’s Secret’s first Canadian store in Edmonton.

The night will also include fresh faces. Katsia Damankova, who has been with Ford Models since 2006, continues to study journalism at a university in St. Petersburg, Russia. Damankova joined Victoria’s Secret earlier this year and will appear in her first show tonight. On her debut night, she says she’ll keep her mind on “the beauty and the great people.”

Along with the statuesque performers, Victoria’s Secret has booked Katy Perry and Akon for tonight’s 8 pm show. Akon is appearing just two weeks before the expected release of his fourth album, Akonic. Tonight, look for a performance of the the album’s first single, fittingly called “Angel.”

Olivia Wilde's Sexy Wet Vanity Fair Photo Shoot

Olivia Wilde is heating up the pages of Vanity Fair with a super sexy spread and RadarOnline.com has a sneak peak at the photo shoot which is sure to set pulses racing.

The TRON beauty looks stunning posing in a wet, white dress submerged in a a swimming pool and her fierce new look is a far cry from her days in scrubs on the hit TV show House.

In the December issue of the glossy fashion magazine, Wilde talks about her new projects and her upcoming movie role in the western Cowboys & Aliens.

"What's great is that I don't have to play the weeping lady in distress," she said about her role alongside Harrison Ford. "I get to play a pretty cool and powerful woman.

"I love the horses, I love the guns. For an actor, to be in a Western feels almost like a rite of passage.

Wilde will next star in TRON: Legacy with Jeff Bridges, set for release in December.

'Romantic and naughty' lingerie that fastens with magnets!

A French label, Lingerie Dement, has launched a range of lingerie that fastens with magnets, rather than the traditional hook and eye straps.

The line that translates as 'insane lingerie' features discreet magnetic clasps set at the front of the bra and concealed by bows. Even the knickers
come with the 'flick-off' function at the hips.

The label's website calls the range 'romantic and naughty', and the magnetised system 'very strong'. The 'Volant' design is described as 'perfectly suited to small breasts', with 'ruffles and bows to highlight the curve of the hip'.

lingerieThe 'Charmant' range, is designed to suit larger cup sizes, and promises to be invisible beneath clothes. Knickers from the luxury brand cost from 45pounds, while a navy silk set costs 137pounds.

It retails online at French website jollia.fr, and at a number of boutiques in Paris and the U.S.

“It brings a little bit of theatrics into the bedroom,” the Daily Mail quoted stylist Sam Saboura as telling New York Daily News.

“There's kind of a fun quality to undressing someone in an intimate way, and this would give that tear-away effect,” he said.

Miranda Kerr Poses Naked, Pregnant And Talks Family In W Magazine

Miranda Kerr, the Victoria's Secret model from down under, decided to celebrate her glowing seven months pregnant body by showing it off on the cover of W magazine.

In the black-and-white photograph, shot by the legendary Patrick Demarchelier, the 27-year-old, appears ridiculously slender and petite even though she's nearing the end of her 9 months. Framed in soft lighting, a sweet-looking Kerr is cradling her belly while gazing demurely down at it. Also naked it appears, is Kerr's unadorned face which shows barely there make-up. And even her famed toussled hairstyle is minimal and slicked back.

Although the Aussie stunner is usually photographed with bedroom eyes and wearing nothing but lingerie and glitter, this image isn't intended to be flirty, fun or remotely sexy. But, perhaps provocative. And, definitely sweet.

While Kerr and her actor husband, Orlando Bloom, have kept mum about the sex of the baby, they're happy to extoll the virtues of family. "For me, family is life, the decision to start one wasn't complex at all," Kerr told "PEOPLE" magazine. "My career has been wonderful, but it's not my life."

While it's clear Kerr has her familial priorities where they should be, do you think she showed model behavior as a mommy? Some critics have suggested otherwise.

Is it always appropriate for celebrities to flaunt their naked, pregnant bodies to the public? And, if you had the opportunity to grace an international cover with a baby bump, would you dare?

Kendra Wilkinson can be sexy without posing nude!

Kendra Wilkinson shocked and confused fans by featuring on the cover of Playboy's December issue, after announcing that she wouldn't pose for the men's magazine again, but insisted the photo was from an old shoot.

"I am on the December cover of Playboy but it wasn't from a recent shoot. The photos are from a shoot I did 2 years ago, when I was still living in the mansion," the New York Daily quoted the reality star as writing on her blog.


"I'm flattered to be on the cover again and as you all know Playboy has a very special place in my heart! I just wanted you guys to know I didn't recently pose," she said.

On the season premiere of her E! reality show "Kendra," the 25-year-old was shown posing for a racy test shoot, while wearing a green bra, black panties and black thigh-high boots. In the episode, Wilkinson struggles with the decision of whether to pose for the magazine, run by ex-boyfriend and media mogul Hugh Hefner, again.

"I can still be sexy and have fun and be a sexy mom and not pose nude," she said to husband NFL athlete Hank Baskett, with whom she has an 11-month-old son.

"Maybe Playboy is the answer. I need to get back to being me again. The real Kendra, the crazy, free spirit," she said.

Kristin Stewart Appearing Nude in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn

As fans of Twilight grow more mature, so do the sequels based on this popular vampire romance novel series. The first in a two-part finale, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 is currently shooting in Brazil, and news has come forth from E! Online that Kristen Stewart will appear naked in the movie, giving the nearly always topless Taylor Lautner a run for his money.

Director Bill Condon is sticking fairly close to his source material in bringing Bella and Edward's Brazilian honeymoon to the big screen. There will be more sex than all three past Twilight movies combined, as the pair consummate their marriage before the camera. Condon will keep this final chapter within the boundaries of its PG-13 rating, but the current shooting script is reportedly pushing those boundaries, with Stewart set to strip way down to nothing at all.

Here is what a source close to the upcoming sequel had to say:

"The script actually has Kristen practically naked in it, a lot."

"Practically" means we won't be seeing any parts of her body that wouldn't make it past the MPAA in earning that PG-13. Though, as E! Online reports, Condon is the type of director who likes to keep it real, and he plans to bring a sense of authenticity to the lovemaking that will be on display in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 comes to theaters November 18th, 2011 and stars Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Ashley Greene, Anna Kendrick, Jackson Rathbone, Nikki Reed, Peter Facinelli. The film is directed by Bill Condon.

Japan bra maker seeks to lift tourism during APEC meet

As Japan hosts a Asia-Pacific summit this week, a women's underwear maker Wednesday unveiled a bra that is meant to lift spirits as well as bust lines and support the country's tourism sector.

Triumph Japan showcased its bustier-style "Welcome to Japan! Bra" that it said was inspired by a tour guide's uniform, features a display for images of sightseeing spots and can greet visitors in three languages.

A row of three electronic push buttons running down the centre of the garment triggers audio greetings in English, Chinese and Korean.

"Furthermore, tour guide flags are inserted on each side of the bra," the company said. "When not used to guide tourists, the flags act as side stays, providing good support and creating an attractive bust line."

The most risque feature is a short skirt attached to the dark blue outfit that flips up to reveal a map of Japan.

Triumph said it hoped the design, the latest in a line of not-for-sale promotional bras it has launched to mark major trends and events, will help support Japan's goal of attracting 30 million foreign tourists a year.

Promising a lingerie boost for the country's hospitality industry, it said: "Identifying and making good use of abundant tourism assets that still remain untapped in Japan will contribute to stimulating the domestic economy."

Triumph released the model as Japan hosts an Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation summit and weeks after Tokyo's Haneda airport opened a new runway, an event Triumph honoured with a small aircraft attached to one bra strap.

Kim Kardashian channels Barbarella in stunning new bikini advert

She is usually known for her waist length dark brown hair.

But reality star Kim Kardashian went to the lighter side in a Marilyn Monroe-esk platinum blonde wig as she modelled for the Kardashian's new line of bikinis for Beach Bunny Swimwear.

In the commercial Kim, 30, sported the wig with a hot white bikini paired with space age white knee high platform boots to create a modern day Barbarella style scene.

The picture was posted to Kim's own website and is part of the new advertising campaign for the swimwear line and Kim admitted her inspiration had come from the classic sci-fi flick.

'My Divinity Collection was inspired by Jane Fonda in the movie Barbarella, where she plays a super-sci-fi-sexy Queen of the Galaxy,' she wrote on her website alongside the picture.

Both Khloe and Kourtney, Kim's sisters, also took part in the shoot which saw all the girls don blonde wigs for the occasion.

Kim was spotted today enjoying some down time with her friend and fellow reality star Simon Huck of E!'s The Spin Crowd.

The pair browsed several high-end clothing boutiques in the Meatpacking district of New York. Last night Kim and her sisters launched their own pre-paid credit card called the Kardashian Kard aimed at making teens more financially responsible.

The sisters have also been busy after the launch of the New York arm of their clothing store Dash last week, with the upcoming release of their first joint autobiography Kardashian Konfidential.

Kim candidly opens up in the new book about being single and what she wants in a man.

'Is it weird that I'm now the single one?' she questions of herself. 'It is definitely a change for me.'

'If you were to ask me in high school where I would be at 30, I would have said I'd be a housewife with four kids,' she admitted.

But after several failed relationships she is becoming more aware of what she wants and needs from a man.

'Whatever relationship I'll be in next I realise I can't be this work machine all the time. It's not realistic. I want a normal relationship.'

Ke$ha Wears a Bikini!

The party don't start 'til Ke$ha walks in...wearing a skimpy bikini!

Hanging out with pals at North Bondi Point beach in Sydney, Australia on Wednesday, the "Tik Tok" singer, 23, doffed her typically glittery, technicolor wardrobe.

For her sunny holiday, Ke$ha (real name: Kesha Rose Sebert) sported a black, two-piece bikini.

The star -- whose new song "We R Who We R" debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 last week -- recently sniped at critics who slammed her singing skills.

"I don't have the best body in the world," she told Seventeen mag, "but I know for a fact that I have a really good voice."

Ryanair releases flight attendant bikini calendar

European budget carrier Ryanair has once again invited controversy with the release of its 'Girls of Ryanair' calendar.

First launched in 2008, the annual calendar features female flight attendants from the airline posing in bikinis, often on board or beside Ryanair planes.

The initial launch of the calendar was greeted by anger from some, including the Spanish government, whose Women's Institute sent letters of complaint to the airline.

Ryanair chief Michael O'Leary has defended the calendar on the grounds that it raises money for charity.

The airline says it aims to raise €100,000 ($A137,000) for charity this year, bringing the total raised from its calendars to more than €400,000 ($A548,800). Ryanair crew select a charity to support each year – this year's beneficiary is Germany's 'Tafel', who provide food to people in need.

Tafel's Chief Executive, Gerd Häuser, welcomed Ryanair's move.

"We encourage German passengers to buy even more Ryanair cabin crew calendars this year in the knowledge that every €10 they spend on the cabin crew calendar goes straight to Tafel,” he said.

O'Leary said the calendar sold particularly well in Germany, even as the airline announced plans to cancel flights on nine routes in the country due to a proposed air passenger tax.

Ryanair and its outspoken boss have long courted controversy over its low-cost operating model, which sees passengers hit by a variety of fees including a £5 ($A8) charge for printing out their own boarding passes. The airline phased out check-in desks last year.

Earlier this year, O'Leary suggested another way to make money would be to charge passengers to use the toilets on board planes. The airline has also said it is looking into 'vertical seating' as a way to fit more passengers on to planes.

Rihanna Performs in an Embellished Bikini For Italian X Factor

There was certainly nothing Grimm about this fairy tale performance.

R&B star Rihanna took inspiration from Rapunzel last night when she appeared on the Italian version of the X Factor.

The singer started her performance swinging on a long blonde plait that connected two models who were dressed like heroine from the famous Brothers Grimm story.

And not to be outdone by her two fair maidens, Rihanna's long red locks hung sexily down her right shoulder.

The 22-year-old also showed off her curvaceous figure in a floral bikini as she strutted her stuff and sang her latest single The Only Girl (In The World).

She then appeared to take inspiration from another children's story as her male dancers surrounded her clutching brooms.

In a scene reminiscent of the chimney sweep dance from Mary Poppins, her dancers leapt and pranced around waving their brooms in their air and incorporating the tools into the routine.

It was Rihanna's second TV talent show appearance in just over a week after she appeared, singing the same song on the British X Factor on October 30.

And her dancers could have done with their brooms then after they got into a food fight with her props on stage.

Italy was the singer's lastest stop on her promotional tour for her new album, Loud, which is released this Friday.

She also performed at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Madrid, Spain, where she also met up with her good friend, pop star Katy Perry.

The night before, Rihanna turned rock chick and surprised Bon Jovi fans by joining the band in the middle of a performance of their classic hit Livin' On A Prayer.

Texas Represents In The Most Important Bikini Contest To Take Place In The Bahamas Over The Weekend

Son Lam, who photographs lots of stuff for us, was in the Bahamas over the weekend. (We, on the other hand, weren't.)
While there he ran across the finals of the Swimsuit USA International Model Search, and his journalistic instincts were engaged.

Seven of the finalists were from Texas, including a handful from our very own Houston.
Apparently distracted by stuff, our man was unable to provide names. The website is of little help, so our information is limited to what we could determine from the contestants' sashes.

But it's obvious the Bahamas were Texas Proud this weekend.

Miley Cyrus Bring Sexy Back In Europe

Watch as Miley Cyrus performs her hit single “Who Owns My Heart” live in Europe last night.

Does saying Miley Cyrus, 17, brought sexy back in Europe make me a creep? I mean, the young Disney star (Hannah Montana) performed her hit “Who Owns My Heart” live last night in a pretty revealing outfit.

We already covered the whole Miley Cyrus side boob spectacle that went down on the red carpet in Europe last night. If that wasn’t enough, Cyrus took the stage in what looked like some sort of lingerie or something along those lines, let’s just say that a 17-year-old should not be wearing it.

From alcohol consumption in Spain, side boob on the red carpet and now this risqué performance, it looks like Miley Cyrus is on the correct path to a Disney star meltdown. (Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan)

In all honesty, I just wish she would turn 18 (November 23rd) already so this whole underage, too sexy news buzz will all go away. It’s almost getting as hold as all of the rehab/jail news that pops up about the doomed star, Lindsay Lohan.

Aly Michalka's Sexy Maxim Spread

The "Hellcats" star posed for a sexy spread in the December issue of Maxim.


Showing off her smokin’ hot body, Aly Michalka teamed up with Maxim magazine for its December 2010 issue.

The “Aly and AJ” gal worked it for the camera like a seasoned pro, which is sure way to make guys everywhere drool.


In other news, opening up for a press interview, Aly revealed the two most important things in her life. “My music is something that is extremely personal. It's something that can't really be compared to anything else, because it involves my sister and she's my everything.”


Although she loves what she’s doing, Aly also added how difficult it is to be away from sister AJ while filming for “Hellcats” in Vancouver, Canada.

Michelle McGee Strips Nude on SandraBullocksRevenge.com

Michelle 'Bombshell' McGee, One Woman Behind the Break-Up of Sandra Bullock and Jesse James, Poses As Spokesperson For AshleyMadison.com

The site's domain name is called SandraBullocksRevenge.com, but how long that will stay that way remains to be seen.

The website is part of a viral campaign for AshleyMadison.com, the website that encourages people to cheat, and McGee was paid $500 an hour to pose for the website.

Many are reporting that the shocking part is not the face that Michelle McGee strips naked on the site, but that she does so on a domain bearing Bullock's name.

Sandra Bullock's camp has not commented on the site yet.

Jake Gyllenhaal’s ‘Nude Fest’ With Anne Hathaway

In her latest drama “Love & Other Drugs,” Anne Hathaway portrays free-spirited Maggie Murdock, who suddenly finds herself under the “drug” of love when she is charmed by Viagra salesman Jamie Randall, played by Jake Gyllenhaal.

But getting hot and heavy wasn’t exactly an enjoyable experience for the 27-year-old starlet.

“It’s racy – very racy. I keep asking people if it is too sexy for them. However it is just part of the job,” Hathaway told Pop Tarts at the film’s Hollywood premiere last week. “That being said, it is intensely mortifying taking your clothes off in front of other people, but it is also intensely mortifying doing a lot of things in front of people and I’ve learned how to deal with that. Who knows if I will ever do it again, it depends on the material.”

And according to Gyllenhaal, it is as real as reel can be.

“The sex is portrayed in a real way, in an intimate way, and nobody is hiding behind anybody,” he said. “I think that that is hopefully what love is about and that is what these two characters do in this movie. I hope people would want to see that, and if not then we’re both naked – so..."

But luckily for Hathaway and Gyllenhaal, the “awkward” situation was softened a little by the fact they’ve gotten intimate on-screen together before.

“We had already had fake onscreen sex before in ‘Brokeback Mountain’ so it came naturally, we just had to do it again. But in all seriousness, it was very brave of Anne. I think women tend to be objectified more than men and she really does bare a lot, not only literally but figuratively. Her performance was incredible,” Gyllenhaal said. “But we’re friends and we understand the process of acting, and as a result of that we felt comfortable, even when it was awkward, and we try to joke about it. I try to be as respectful as possible, and if you are respectful on the set it makes it as dirty as it can be onscreen.”

And despite of Gyllenhaal’s A-list status, the folks in the Viagra world weren’t too warm when it came to giving characterization tips.

“It was an amazing world to learn about, primarily the sales in pharmaceuticals. I was fascinated to find out how hard it is to get into that world – to learn information from active people, particularly people selling from Viagra,” he added. “So often when you’re making a movie about something, (the real professionals) are like ‘come on in.’ That wasn’t the case for this movie, but it was fascinating. It took a while for people to open up – I didn’t know why there was so much secrecy."

Vanessa Minnillo is in a bikini

It's another day another bikini for Vanessa Minnillo.

The pretty TV presenter is currently enjoying a fun-filled break in Mexico with fiancé Nick Lachey and some friends.

The couple are celebrating their engagement, which they announced last week, as well as their birthdays which fall on the same day - Vanessa turns 30 and Nick 37, tomorrow.

Minnillo showed off her amazing body in a teeny tiny pink bikini and was careful to keep the sun from damaging her complexion too much by keeping a large floppy sun hat in place as she lounged poolside.

She also kept her huge sparkler in place, firmly on her ring finger, and who can blame her?

The brand new platinum and diamond engagement ring by jewellers Bader & Garrin, is said to be worth an estimated $125,000.

'We're excited and incredibly happy about our engagement and we look forward to a wonderful future together,' the couple said in a statement last week.

It will be a second marriage for Nick, who is divorced from singer Jessica Simpson.

The couple have been dating on and off since 2006.

'They're so happy, doing great,' a source told America's Us Weekly. 'Thrilled about it.'

One person that purportedly isn't so happy is Simpson.

A source, who claims to be a close friend of the Dukes of Hazzards star, tells celebrity website Popeater: 'Even though Jessica wants to be happy for Nick, this is a very difficult time for her.

'Nick was the love of her life then, man, and he was her first, so she will always have a very special place in her heart for him. She's deeply saddened.'

Former 98 Degrees star Nick and pop singer Jessica were married in 2002 but split three years later, when Jessica filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences.

Their married life was caught on cameras for their reality MTV show Newlyweds.

Jessica later admitted she was furious when Nick jumped back into dating very soon after they split up.

She told Elle magazine in 2007, 'Oh, it hurt me. Two or three weeks later? Yeah, I'd say it kind of hurt me.'

But the 30-year-old eventually moved on, enjoying high-profile romances with singer John Mayer and Dallas Cowboy Tony Romo.

Simpson is now in a happy relationship with NFL football player Eric Johnson.

The engagement announcement comes just a week after Nick and Jessica had an awkward encounter after both turning up for dinner dates with their partners at Red O on the same night.

Sources say the former couple stayed well clear of each other all night.

And there was no danger of the two couples colliding at the weekend.

While Nick and Vanessa carried on their joint celebrations in Mexico and the former Miss Teen USA wowed in a variety of colourful little bikinis, the first Mrs Lachey was bundled up warmly at Dulles airport in Washington DC.

Simpson looked cute in some tight black jeans and a multi-coloured poncho style cardigan.

She was putting on a brave face for the cameras, holding hands with Johnson as they strolled through the airport.

Hopefully they weren't on their way to Mexico.

Kendra Wilkinson in semi-naked post-baby photo shoot

Ex-Playmate Kendra Wilkinson steamed up the TV screens in a semi-naked post-baby photo shoot during her inner struggle to feel sexy as a new mum.

Now married with an 11-month-old son, the curvy blonde showed off her new body on the season premiere of herself titled E! reality show on Sunday night.

Kendra has lost her baby weight and is ready to be the sexy, athletic diva her fans have grown to love.

During the first episode, she was swayed back and forth over a decision to pose once more for Playboy, and did the test shoot as a warm up.

But the fire quickly fizzled out when a surprised Hank turned up mid-shoot and whisked Kendra away for a serious chat.

Cameras followed 25-year-old Kendra, NFL star Hank and their baby Hank Jnr as they started a new life in Philadelphia. Baskett had signed up to play with the Philadelphia Eagles at the time.

Kate Moss to Launch Lingerie Line

Now that the eternally gorgeous Kate Moss has presented her final collection for the UK's Topshop, the supermodel-turned-designer is turning her attention to a new fashion project. Moss reportedly plans to partner with Topshop boss Sir Philip Green on a new line of luxurious lingerie taking on brands such as Agent Provocateur for whom she has modeled in past (above). Contrary to her image as a hardcore party girl, the secret to Moss' design success is attributable to her serious business approach, Green tells Vogue UK. "It was worked at in earnest," Green says of the Topshop collaboration. "In the market today, product is king. You've got to have great merchandise. We've been working at it as a business to build proper ranges with proper work going into the product and Kate trying all the pieces on." That last bit doesn't hurt, of course.

Watson tired of fake nudes

Emma Watson is refusing to get upset over a series of pictures which purportedly show her posing naked - branding the latest fake nude snaps "tiresome."

Images which show the Harry Potter star's head digitally superimposed onto a naked girl's body have reportedly been circulated around the campus of Rhode Island's prestigious Brown University, where she is currently studying for a degree in English Literature.

Watson is said to be seeking out the original fake snap so she can stop it reaching any further, and a representative for the star reveals the actress is growing tired of dealing with so many digitally-doctored pictures.

Her spokesperson tells Britain's Mail on Sunday, "There have been a number of nude fakes over the past two months. Emma has seen them and finds them tiresome. People should know better."

Watson has faced fake nude snaps several times - in May her reps demanded the removal of rude photos from the Internet, while a man in Britain was spared jail in August after he created digitally-altered pictures of the actress and posted them on the Internet.

Taylor Momsen -- bras and EMAs

Taylor Momsen is all about creating some sort of newfound attention for herself, and you saw that perfectly at the premiere event for "Call of Duty: Black Ops" recently. Dressed in just a bra and some kind of warped suit coat, the 17-year old "Gossip Girl" star definitely stood out from the crowd at the launch of the popular video game.

So what's next for Taylor? Crossing the pond for the 2010 MTV Europe Music Awards in Madrid on Sunday. She announced on Friday that she was heading over to Spain, and she is now there getting ready (and presumably excited) for the big event.

You can check out some new photos from the "Call of Duty" launch to the left. Do you think sometimes that this get-up is a little much, or do you applaud Taylor for her sense of style?

Camille Donatacci in a Bikini for Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

Kelsey Grammer’s former wife Camille Donatacci hung around in a bikini on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills this week. She talked about how she liked time away from Kelsey in the episode that aired this week. Little did she know that by the time the show aired she wouldn’t be having to be around Kelsey at all.

Camille Donatacci is the woman the other women on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills love to hate. She flirts with their husbands, brags about the lifestyle she and Kelsey live and talks about how hard she works as a mother while employing four nannies. The 42-year-old has two children with Kelsey Grammer, Mason Olivia, 9, and son Jude Gordon, six.

By the time the show aired, Grammer had left his wife of 12-years and is living with a younger version of her, 29-year-old flight attendant Kayte Walsh, in New York City.

Glowing Myleene Klass shows her pregnancy curves in all their glory in a white bikini

Like most pregnant women, Myleene Klass is getting used to her ever-changing body.

But as she relaxed by the pool at her Los Angeles hotel, it looked like the presenter was enthralled by her pregnancy curves.

During her five hour sunbathing session, the 32-year-old repeatedly fiddled with her bikini top, which was struggling to contain her ample cleavage.

The former Hear'Say singer spent a few days in California on a working holiday, where she presented the red carpet arrivals at the BAFTA Britannia Awards on Thursday night.

With lines to learn, Klass decided to make the most of her time in the sun and went through her script by the pool.

And she kept up her beachwear tradition by opting for a white halterneck bikini - which looked remarkably similar to the one she wore in Marks & Spencer adverts when she was expecting her first daughter Ava three years ago.

Of course, Myleene famously resurrected her career with a white string bikini on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! four years ago.

Before going to work at the Britannia Awards on Thursday night, Klass posed a photo of herself in a bikini on her Twitter page, saying: 'By the pool learning my lines for tonight. Unreal...

'Red carpet for Britannia awards! Lines nearly learnt. Nearly. Err.

'Righto. Frocked up and ready to roll. First interview with the Fryster. Gonna hug him.'

At the glitzy bash, Klass interviewed a host of stars including Jeff Bridges, Dakota Fanning, Marion Cotillard, Jane Lynch and Carey Mulligan.

Displaying her growing belly in a black and red strapless gown, Klass cuddled up to fellow Brit Stephen Fry for a photo for her Twitter page.

She also posed alongside Bridges - who she nicknamed 'Santa', House actress Olivia Wilde and Kevin Spacey.

After a couple of hours mingling with the stars at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza, Klass then headed off for the after-party.

Signing off on her Twitter: 'Top night. Fav people, Michael Sheen, Jane Lynch (Sue Sylvester) and Carey Mulligan. Have changed into my flats. Off to the party!'

Klass announced in September that she and partner Graham Quinn were expecting a sibling for three-year-old Ava in March.

Her pregnancy came after the couple spent 18 months trying to conceive.

Klass said this week she is looking forward to finding out the baby's sex at her 20 week scan.

She said: 'I don't know what the flavour is yet but I am going to be finding out. It's funny when you say it ruins the surprise, but the surprise is like a tomato or something. It's only going to go one of two ways, right.'
