Where did that come from? Eliza Doolittle reveals romance with Paris Hilton's rocker ex Benji Madden as they stroll hand-in-hand

By Alanah Eriksen


Loved up: Eliza Doolittle confirmed her relationship with Good Charlotte rocker Benji Madden as they strolled the streets of LA, very aware of the paparazzi


They've been tweeting each other a few harmless messages over the past month, but Eliza Doolittle has now revealed very publicly that she is dating Good Charlotte rocker Benji Madden.

The English songstress walked hand-in-hand with Paris Hilton's ex yesterday on the streets of Los Angeles.

She beamed and put her arm around her new man's shoulders, so the paparazzi could get their shots.


They looked at ease, with Benji tapping away on his phone, before the couple went into a French restaurant to eat.

Eliza, 23, took advantage of the warmer weather across the Atlantic, stepping out in just a T-shirt and a checked shirt.

Her 32-year-old beau covered up more in a leather jacket and black jeans.

Benji appears to have been spending a lot of time in London lately, tweeting about his escapades and name-dropping several English celebs, including Dizzee Rascal, Tinie Tempah and Samantha Ronson.


Comfortable together: The couple clearly didn't care who was watching, as they walked hand-in-hand, Benji preoccupied on his phone

Me and my beau: The couple have been sending each other harmless texts over the past month but have not been spotted together until now


Some of his comments have been a play on words of the first part of Eliza's last name.

On December 6 he wrote: 'Life is GOOD when you DOO what you LOVE'.

Eliza re-tweeted the comment and Benji said the next day: 'Just DOO It,' which is the same motto Eliza has on her Twitter page.

Last month, he teased her about England's penchant for beans on toast, and she wrote: 'I have officially converted @benjaminmadden to an @Arsenal fan ! Wooooooo !'

Are they singing? The pair looked like they were having a great time as they headed into a French restaurant for a bite to eat


Eliza has obviously broken up with childhood friend Ollie, who she dated for about three-and-a-half years.

She was last seen with him in April, looking smitten as she planted a kiss on his lips on primrose Hill.

Last June, she spoke about the relationship: 'Two and a half years ago I got together with Ollie, a hip-hop rapper, who I’ve known since I was 12. I’m in love and really happy.'

It's over: Eliza looked very much in love with her boyfriend of three-and-a-half years, Ollie, back in April as the pair locked lips on Primrose Hill


But when asked about marriage and children, she said: 'It’s not going to happen for a long time because Ollie and I are still so young. It’s nice to talk about it, because if you don’t think it’s what you want some day, then maybe you’re in the wrong relationship.'

Meanwhile Benji, who is the twin brother of Nicole Richie's husband Joel Madden, most recently dated Hugh Hefner's ex 'number one girlfriend' Holly Madison.

But they broke up in January after only two months.

He was in a high-profile relationship with Nicole's best friend Paris Hilton for nine months in 2008.

Before that, he was engaged to Australian model Sophie Monk.

'We are both beyond broken hearted': Katherine Jenkins and Gethin Jones call off their engagement

By Emily Sheridan


It's over: Katherine Jenkins and Gethin Jones, pictured at Royal Ascot in June, have split up after four years together


Katherine Jenkins and Gethin Jones are 'heart-broken' after calling off their engagement.

The Welsh couple, who have been dating since 2007, have mutually decided to end their relationship.

The classical singer, 31, and TV presenter, 33, both revealed their split with simultaneous announcements on their Twitter pages.


Devastated Jenkins wrote: 'Sorry for being quiet of late, its just that I have some very sad news. Geth & I have decided to go our separate ways.

'We are both beyond broken hearted. All your hugs & support will be much appreciated xxx.'

And her ex-fiancé added: 'Hi everybody. I'm deeply sad to tell you that Kath and I have ended our relationship as a couple. We are both heart broken... Gx.'

The pair started dating in late 2007 after meeting on the set of Strictly Come Dancing, which Jones was participating in, while Jenkins was a guest performer.

Heartbreak: The TV presenter confirmed the split on his Twitter page


The couple, who shared a £4.7million home in Richmond, South West London, announced their engagement in February after the presenter proposed with a £10,000 diamond ring on a boat in Mexico the previous month.

In October, Jenkins told the MailOnline they were struggling to find time in their busy schedules to set a wedding date.

She said: '2012 is such a huge year, we’ve got the Olympics happening, the Queen’s Jubilee, my sister turns 30, there’s so many things happening that it doesn’t leave us with much time.

Tennis fans: The couple together at Wimbledon in July


'We will do it, just not yet. There’s no rush. We will get round it.'

And in interview with the Mail On Sunday's You magazine a few weeks ago, Jenkins said she was looking forward to starting a family with her handsome boyfriend.

She enthused: 'I'd like to have a family of my own - slip away for a bit and do nothing but spend those early years with my children.

'I'd like to think I can come back, but I believe children are a gift and I want to enjoy them some time in the next few years. Gethin does too.'

Curse of the cat face: Big cheeks and high brows, the stars trying too hard to stay young

By Leah Hardy


As she skied elegantly down the slopes at her favourite winter resort of Klosters in Switzerland earlier this month, there was no denying Tara Palmer-Tomkinson’s fabulous physique.

However, a closer inspection of pictures reveal the former It-Girl’s face is virtually unrecognisable. At 40, she appears to have developed the soaring eyebrows, triangular visage and slanting eyes so familiar on many famous women.

Stars such as Kylie Minogue, Carla Bruni, Lulu and Madonna are just some of those who’ve begun sporting facial features so feline that they’re now being dubbed the ‘Celebrity Cat Club’. It’s usually the next step on from the ‘pillow face’, where so much filler is pumped into cheeks, they begin to look unnaturally plump.

TARA PALMER-TOMKINSON (left). Adrian Richards, of Aurora Clinics, says: 'Her eyebrows are much higher, usually the result of Botox. KYLIE MINOGUE (right). She denies using Botox but her high brows, plump cheeks and glossy forehead giver her a kittenish look


But what measures do these women have to take to get the distinctive cat-faced look made infamous by the so-called Bride of Wildenstein — former millionaire art dealer’s wife Jocelyn Wildenstein — in the late 1990s?

Dirk Kremer, a Harley Street plastic surgeon, explains: ‘While the “pillow face” is caused by using too much filler, the “cat face” is the result of having too much of everything — all done badly. Those soaring eyebrows occur when too much Botox is given, especially in the centre of the forehead. This makes it very smooth and can cause the centre of the brows to drop.

‘The outer edges of the eyebrows then fly up in a very artificial way. It’s a kind of Fifties diva look that is ridiculous on most women.

‘The second element of the cat face is cheek fillers. If too much is put in, the enlarged cheek presses against the eye, making it look smaller and slanted. This is especially obvious if the woman is smiling.

‘Too much filler also gives the face a triangular look: wide at the cheekbones and comparatively narrow at the jaw. In moderation, this is a youthful shape; but in excess, it just adds to the feline quality. And if Botox has always been used to eliminate any lines, the smooth, artificial, cat-like shape is further emphasised.’

But why, when the cat look is so strange, do so many celebrities end up slipping into it?

Plastic surgeon Rajiv Grover, from London’s King Edward VII Hospital, says: ‘Studies show the central facial triangle is a major element of the beauty of the young face. Full cheeks act as a “pedestal” for the eyes, enhancing their appearance.’ The theory is that plumping up our cheeks makes us look more youthful and returns us to our former beauty.

Dr Kremer adds: ‘Fillers in moderation can be amazingly rejuvenating. Celebrities try them and get a lot of compliments. So they think: “Why not put in more and look even better?”

‘But by insisting on the same dose at shorter intervals, they can forget what they used to look like and lose all sense of proportion and reality.’

PRISCILLA PRESLEY (left). A fake cosmetic 'doctor' injected her face with illegal industrial silicone - and went to jail. CAPRICE BOURRET (right). The model purred that 'good genes', not Botox, were the reason for her youthful features


Plastic surgeon Dr Marco Lens says he regularly sees the ‘cat face’ in his Harley Street surgery. ‘Women come to me because they know they don’t look right, but don’t know why,’ he says. ‘By blowing up their faces like a balloon, they don’t look younger, but like old women trying to look younger.’

So it’s not surprising that some celebrities are learning the lessons of those who have gone too far with Botox and fillers.

Instead, actresses Jennifer Aniston and Anna Friel choose treatments like peels, gentle lasers and skin-tightening such as Pelleve that help to improve the texture, elasticity, clarity and firmness of skin. The result is a more elegant, natural look.

The good news about temporary fillers is that they wear off in between four and 18 months, depending on their thickness. Botox also wears off after four to six months.

So, in most cases, an accidental cat face will vanish of its own accord.

Where did those come from? Daring Dawn French wears an above the knee skirt and shows off her legs for the first time in years

By J J Anisiobi


For years she chose never to reveal her body and always covered up.

Now after her dramatic weight loss Dawn French has finally begun to embrace her slimmer figure.

The curvy comic was spotted leaving Heathrow Airport and was showing signs of her new found confidence today.

Confidence: Dawn French departs from Heathrow Airport and shows off her legs for the first time in years, today


The 54-year-old comic was dressed all in black but for the first time in many years showed off her legs as she got ready to fly to America.

Dawn wore a long double breasted coat with a an above the knee dress and black boots.

The silhouette of her legs was the clearest view we have ever had of her newly trim body as she almost always used to wear trousers or long dresses.

Heading out: Dawn wore an all black outfit for her flight


Dawn's has lost over six-and-a-half stone from eating healthy and taking long walks with her dog close to her Cornwall home.

She separated from Lenny Henry in October 2009 and their divorce was finalised a year later.

Lenny has also trimmed down since the break up and has been seen with a new flame.

Moving on: Lenny Henry is dating Lisa Makin who shares a resemblance to his ex-wife Dawn


Henry, 53, is seeing producer Lisa Makin, 45, a high-profile figure in the theatre industry.

The dark-haired Miss Makin bears more than a passing resemblance to Miss French – particularly now the comic actress has dramatically lost weight.

A close friend of Henry told the Mail: ‘Lenny and Lisa have been dating for several months. They are very happy together.’ The couple are said to have met through mutual friends.

Kate and Harry, getting on wellie: Prince and Duchess choose matching footwear to watch William play football

By Louise Eccles


Great minds: Harry and Kate take a stroll in their boots


The Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry are not exactly known for sharing sartorial tastes.

But it seems they do both have a penchant for £300 leather-lined wellington boots.

While watching her husband Prince William from the sidelines of a football match, Kate committed a rare fashion faux pas when she turned up in the same green wellies as her brother-in-law.


The luxury boots were made by 80-year-old French bootmaker Le Chameau, which specialises in upmarket country attire.

On its website, it boasts that the footwear has ‘full-grain leather’ lining for ‘warmth and comfort’ and is made using the ‘finest craftmanship’.

Prince Harry seemed unconcerned by their matching footwear, however, and was seen laughing with the Duchess as they stood on the edge of the pitch on an estate near Sandringham.

They watched William win the 11-a-side football match alongside villagers and estate workers at Castle Rising, owned by Tory peer Lord Greville Howard.

Kate managed to look stylish from the sidelines in a £1,500 outfit. She wore a £695 toscana sheepskin jacket from one of her favourite retailers, L.K. Bennett.

She also kept warm in a £355 almond-coloured wool jumper from Alice Temperley’s Notting Hill label, Temperley, London. Miss Temperley is a popular designer with the Middletons and created the emerald dress which Pippa Middleton wore to her sister’s wedding reception in April.

To complete this look, Kate hid her long, wavy hair beneath a cowboy-style hat and showed off her figure in a pair of skinny jeans.

Her casual clothing was a long way from her Christmas Day attire the following day when she wore a long, plum-coloured coat, matching hat and £1,900 earrings for a church service in Sandringham.

Meanwhile, Kate and William’s wedding day kiss on the balcony of Buckingham Palace has been named the nation’s favourite TV moment of the year in a poll.

She'll be the Millionairess soon! Newly-engaged Holly Valance recreates famous pose by Sophia Loren in 1960 movie

Fingers crossed: Holly Valance recreates a famous scene in the 1960 movie The Millionairess, which starred siren Sophia Loren, as she promotes EuroMillions


It's not secret that Holly Valance's man has a bit of money in the bank.

And now that she's marrying him, the Australian singer is set to become a millionairess, or rather, billionairess.

So it's fitting that she has recreated a pose, from the 1960 film The Millionairess, made famous by Italian screen siren, Sophia Loren.


In a new EuroMillions campaign, the 28-year-old can be seen in a sexy corset and knickers with stockings hoisted up by suspenders.

She adds some old Hollywood glamour with a massive hat, white gloves and peep-toe heels with a circle of diamonds on each one.

Years gone by: Sophia played an arrogant heiress who married to please her father, in the film which was set in London


Her blonde hair is pulled back and tiny pearl earrings are added to the ensemble.

Holly holds her left hand up and crosses her fingers - urging EuroMillions players to check their tickets to see if they are a missing Christmas millionaire.

But she has nothing on Sophia, now 77, who, at 26, was two years younger than Holly when she starred in the movie, set in London.

World's apart: Holly, 28, mirrored the scene made famous by Italian Oscar-winner Sophia, now 77


The Oscar-winner played an arrogant heiress who married to please her fathe.

The Strictly Come Dancing star Holly last week recreated a scene from another famous movie, One Million Years B.C.

The then 26-year-old Raquel Welch, now 71, played cave girl Loana in the 1966 film.

Holly showed off the results of her gruelling dancing schedule in her own fur bikini, as she posed on some rocks with her fingers crossed.

She's at it again: Last week, the star recreated this sexy pose from the 1966 film, One Million B.C., made famous by Raquel Welch


No doubt Holly's fiance, property developer Nick Candy, will be a proud man when he sees the photos.

The former Neighbours star took to her Twitter page last week to announce he had got down on one knee and asked her to marry him.

Nick, 38, who has been dating the star for three years, whisked her away to the Maldives on Wednesday for a Christmas break, and proposed to her on the beach with the words 'Will you marry me' written in fire.

And Holly took to her Twitter page to post the photo of him proposing and wrote: ' 'And I said YES!!! ♥ Happiest day of my life!!!!! Xxxx.'

Russell Brand emerges without his wedding ring after 'massive fight' ruins his Christmas with Katy Perry

By Daily Mail Reporter


Sign of trouble? Russell Brand stepped out for a shopping trip in London today without his wedding ring on


Russell Brand stepped out without his wedding ring today amid rumours of marriage trouble.

The comedian, 36, was spotted on a solo shopping trip in London after spending Christmas 7,000 miles apart from his wife Katy Perry.

He happily soaked up the love from fans during his outing and even posed up for a photograph with a delighted blonde shopper.


But the Arthur star's sparkling diamond band, which matches the singer's wedding bling, was noticeably absent from his left hand.

Katy was not wearing her ring either while holidaying in Hawaii over the festive season.

The couple decided to spend Christmas apart after huge argument, it has been claimed.

A source is quoted as telling Us Weekly magazine: 'They had a massive fight. She was like, "F*** you. I'm going to do my own thing."

Meanwhile the source said that Russell replied: 'Fine, f*** you too.'
The source added: 'They haven't split up just yet, but things are not good. The fighting is getting worse.'

Katy, 27, was seen lapping up the fine weather in Hawaii on December 25 with a group of friends while comedian Brand was seen in a pub in Cornwall, England.


Soaking up the love: The comedian was happy to pose with a pretty blonde fan on the street


Is it Katy on the line? The comedian looks deep in conversation with someone on his cellphone inside a store

What's on your mind? Russell looked a little preoccupied as he looked at clothes in a London shop


The couple were said to have planned Christmas together with reports Katy was going to jet her family in a private plane over to the UK to celebrate together.

In November, Brand's mother Barbara had tweeted she was looking forward to spending the festive season with her son and daughter-in-law.

She wrote on Twitter: 'Spoke to Russell and Katy, they are so happy, it's lovely. We will all be together for Christmas.'


Oceans apart: Katy Perry spent Christmas in Hawaii while her husband was in Cornwall

Getaway spot: The house in Coverack, Cornwall where Russell spent Christmas with David Baddiel


A spokesperson for the couple has not yet commented and neither Katy nor Russell have alluded to their relationship on Twitter.

The couple, who married in October last year after a whirlwind romance, have gone out of their way lately to quash speculation that their marriage is on shaky ground.

She has previously used Twitter to dismiss marriage rumours. She tweeted: ‘Just cause we don’t flaunt our relationship doesn’t mean there’s something wrong w/it. Privacy is our luxury. ’

By Alanah Eriksen


Buckle up! Coronation Street actress Michelle Keegan tried her hand at jet-skiing with singer boyfriend Max George as the rest of his The Wanted bandmates watched in Barbados


They shared an intimate moment at the airport in Barbados ahead of their romantic getaway.

But yesterday was more action packed for Michelle Keegan and Max George as the Coronation Street star took her fiance for a spin on a jet-ski.

In what was like a meeting of the WAGs of the popstar world, the actress led the girlfriends of The Wanted band members as the group hit the beach.


The couple were joined by Tom Parker and his girlfriend Kelsey Harwick, and Siva Kaneswaran and his girlfriend Nareesha.

Their fellow bandmates Jay McGuiness and Nathan Sykes were also there but did not appear to have brought along any lady friends.


That was fun! Michelle sprints up the beach, still wearing her life-jacket, after the ride with her boyfriend

The girls have accompanied their men to the Caribbean where they will be singing at a concert on New Year's Eve at the exclusive Sandy Lane Hotel.

Michelle showing off her slim and toned legs in a tiny purple and blue jumpsuit which she paired with gold aviator sunglasses.

She looked relaxed with a makeup-free face and her brunette locks loose for most of the day before she tied them back in a loose bun.

The 24-year-old appeared to be getting along swimmingly with the other girls.

Not to be outdone: Fellow bandmate Siva Kaneswaran and his girlfriend Nareesha walk up the beach to meet the others

Fun without the girls: Nathan Sykes and Jay McGuiness were also there, but did not appear to have invited any lady friends along


Nareesha gave the actress, who plays Tina McIntyre in Corrie, a run for her money in the best beach body stakes.

She also donned a small jumpsuit - but in a zebra print - but, unlike Michelle, opted to strip to her bikini for her own jet-ski ride with her boyfriend.

She showed off her taut stomach and slim pins in the two-piece.


Making the most of it: The actress recently said it was her and Max's first Christmas as a 'proper couple'


Fashion statement: Michelle looked cute in this blue and purple patterned jumpsuit and aviator sunglasses, which she shed later on

And Siva couldn't take his hands off the stunning brunette.

Michelle and Max were spotted at the Barbados airport on Tuesday, looking more in love than ever as she planted a kiss on his forehead.

Michelle has said she couldn't wait to wake up with Max on Christmas Day at her family home.

'This is actually our first Christmas as a proper couple, so I am really looking forward to it,' she told Now magazine.


Are you feeling nervous? The group share a laugh as Michelle put on her life-jacket in preparation for the jet-ski ride

Mr and Mrs: Siva and Nareesha look effortlessly cool in their sunglasses and beachwear


'He works away quite a lot, so I don't really get a chance to see him, but at Christmas we'll get to spend quite a lot of time together.'

Michelle said she was happy with whatever gift Max got her.

'I don't mind what I get . It's not about all that for me.

'I just like seeing everyone and I love actually wrapping presents and giving them to people, especially if I've found the right thing.'


Beauties: Michelle chats to Nareesha, who gave the actress a run for her money in the best beach body stakes, flaunted her toned legs in this striped bikini

What a hunk: Max had a go on the jet-ski himself, before stripping off and flaunting his abs on the beach


But the three times Sexiest Female British Soap Awards winner reveals she is not as body confident as people may think.

Posing for a festive Christmas shoot for new! magazine, Michelle confessed: 'I’m not confident at all, I’m just very laid back. I’ve still got insecurities, which I think every girl’s got.'

Max proposed with a ring and a puppy in June this year, after just six months together, catching Michelle by surprise.


Here come the boys: Max and Nathan make their way across the sandy beach after an afternoon in the sun


Are you ready? Siva watches as Nareesha puts on her life-jacket before a turn on the jetski

As late as last week, Michelle revealed she still had no idea what she was going to get Max.

She said: 'He's got everything! He hasn't got any hair, so I can't get him hair products.

'He only likes one aftershave so I can't buy him that, and he wears the clothes he gets given at shoots. I'm panicking!'


In control: Siva shows intense concentration as his girlfriend enjoys the ride


Are you guys watching me? Tom's girlfriend Kelsey looked like she was having a whale of a time on the jet-ski
