A message from Kanye? Kim Kardashian is caught checking her phone as she visits laser hair removal centre

By Mike Larkin


Checking her phone: It seemed Kim Kardashian may have just received a message from Kanye West as she attended a laser hair removal centre in Santa Monica today


She has been keeping her lips sealed about her relationship with rumoured new boyfriend Kanye West.

But actions speak louder than words, and after being spotted with what appeared to be a love bite on her neck yesterday, Kim Kardashian was seen anxiously checking her phone in Los Angeles today.

The reality television personality could not stop looking at her mobile as she attended a laser hair removal centre in Santa Monica, which suggests she was receiving messages from a certain special someone.


And after a marathon 24-hour dating session with the RnB favourite earlier this week, perhaps she was anxious about being away from the singer's side.

If she had seen the Stronger star she would have no doubt brought a smile to his face, as she was wearing an extremely tight pair of black leggings which drew attention to her famous derriere.

Kim, 31, appeared to have had a late night, as she was keeping her tired eyes covered by a pair of aviator sunglasses so large, even noted shades wearer Kanye would have been impressed.


Bottom of the fashion stakes: Some would argue Kim scored an own goal by wearing such tight leggings

Can't put it down: It appears the reality television personality was not comfortable with the idea of missing a text message

One person who does not seem interested in Kim's fledgling new relationship is her estranged husband Kris Humphries.

Sources close to the basketball star have told TMZ he is completely indifferent to the news.

Instead he is focussing on having their divorce finalised so the Keeping Up With The Kardashians favourite is out of his life for good.

Moving on: Kris Humphries is more interested in getting a divorce than the news of his wife's rumoured new relationship

The insider also said he is more sure than ever the fame-hungry television star does not represent the things he believes in, and that he is just ready to put this in the past.

The website also rubbished Kanye's reported claim he could have his friend Jay-Z kick him off the New Jersey Nets roster.

While he is a part owner in the team after investing $4.5m, he does not have any say in team matters and is actually a fan of the player.

His stake is also tiny compared to that of Russian businessman Mikhail Prokhorov, who agreed to a $200 million deal to become a principal owner of the Nets in 2009.

Granny's girls: Princess Eugenie and little Lady Louise join the Queen for Easter Sunday church service

By Emily Allen


Princess Eugenie stepped out with her grandmother the Queen today for the traditional Easter Sunday service at Windsor Castle.

The Duke of York's daughter, 22, accompanied the monarch and the Duke of Edinburgh to the Mattins service at St George's Chapel.

The Queen wore a lilac, green and white Stewart Parvin silk dress with a lilac crepe coat and a matching hat by Philip Somerville, while the young princess wore a navy dress, cream coat and small navy hat.

She looked a picture of elegance - and showed off her increasingly svelte frame - as she accepted flowers from well-wishers and didn't seem to mind that her elder sister Beatrice was not there to lend a hand.

Her father Prince Andrew was at the service, however, as well as Princess Anne and husband Tim Laurence.

Prince Edward arrived with wife Sophie, Countess of Wessex, in a pink coat with a cream hat, and their daughter Lady Louise Windsor.

The service, conducted by the Dean of Windsor, the Right Rev David Conner, included the hymn Thine Be The Glory and the National Anthem.

Afterwards the Queen was greeted by well wishers gathered outside the chapel.

She was presented with posies by Jasmine and Savannah Willans, seven and nine, from Standlake, Oxfordshire, grandchildren of a Military Knight of Windsor.

They were joined by Emilia Bolton, 12, from Southfields, London, whose late grandfather was also a Military Knight of Windsor.

The knights are retired military officers who receive a pension and accommodation at Windsor Castle and provide support for the 0rder of the Garter and services at St George's Chapel.

Savannah, nine, said as well as wishing them happy Easter, the Queen asked her if the flowers had been picked from her garden.

She said: 'We were very nervous, we were shaking.'

Several other children also gave flowers, including Grace and Ben Abbott, nine and seven, who travel every year from Ipswich with their parents for the occasion.

And Freedom Scott Tansley, ten, from Glasgow, said it was the 12th time he had met the monarch.

'When the Queen came up to me she said, 'oh so you're back here now again',' he said. 'I've met her 12 times now.'

After the service the Queen left by car to applause from the gathered well wishers.

Davina: I felt so relieved when my mother died (... please God, don't let my death be a relief to anybody)

By Chris Hastings


Davina McCall has revealed her sense of ‘relief’ at the death of the mother who virtually abandoned her as a child.

The former Big Brother presenter said Florence Kock’s passing in South Africa in 2008 finally ended the heartbreak caused by the pair’s troubled relationship.

She said: ‘When she died I felt a sense of relief that I could stop swinging from side to side. And I also think, “Please God, when I die, don’t let it be a relief to anybody.” ’

Ms McCall, 44, did not attend her mother’s funeral but forgave her for the years of abandonment.

She said: ‘I imagined her in the hospital bed, and I imagined these shoots of light going from my palms, all over, across the world, to South Africa, to the hospital where she was at, and going straight into her heart.

‘All I kept saying was, “I forgive you. I forgive you. I forgive you.” ’

This week Ms McCall will host the second season of the ITV show Long Lost Family, which seeks to reunite adopted children with their birth parents. She said her own estrangement from her French-born mother began with her parents’ divorce when she was three.

Happy ending: Davina McCall has three children with husband Matthew Robertson

Ms McCall, who was shipped off to her grandparents in Surrey, stayed in contact with her father, Andrew, but saw little of her mother in France. Her holidays there would end in misery as her mother, a glamorous socialite, failed to turn up for pre-arranged meetings.

She would also drag her daughter around Parisian nightclubs and left her alone in one when she was 12, with a stranger having to take her back to her mother’s house.


The star moved back in with her father at 13 but her attempts to repair the relationship with her mother always ended in failure.

Ms McCall said: ‘I tried so hard . . . time after time, I kept thinking, “This is the bridge.’’ ’

She said her mother’s refusal to show her affection left her ‘catatonic with grief’. She said: ‘I couldn’t make her invite me into her bed for a hug when I’d had a nightmare. I felt she’d done something to betray me or hurt me.’

Ms McCall, who has three children with husband Matthew Robertson, now accepts her mother was ‘damaged’ and ‘did the best she could with what she had’. But as a teenager she sought solace in drugs and by 16 had experimented with cocaine and heroin. She managed to get herself clean by the time she was 25.

Twenty years on, Ms McCall is one of Britain’s top presenters – and admits the only thing that grates now is the ageing process. She said: ‘Ageing is hard. I think my face is all right . . . but I’m getting slightly saggy skin round my body. Slight underarm softness. Slight soft skin, inside my legs.’

Up-TOWIE girls: Chloe Sims shows off her very long legs in white shorts... as she shops with Lauren Pope on Rodeo Drive

By Donna Mcconnell


Limbs eleven: Chloe Sims showed off her endless legs in white shorts as she hit Rodeo Drive with gal pal Lauren Pope on their final day in LA

Chloe Sims has undergone something of a style transformation of late - binning her trashy boob-baring looks for a more understated wardrobe.

And seen out shopping in Beverly Hills famed Rodeo Drive, she certainly cut a classy figure in her white shorts ensemble.


Chic look: Chloe pair a white tunic style top with short shorts and nude heels for a classy look

Essex babes: Lauren and Chloe certainly flew the flag for Essex style on Rodeo Drive

With her pneumatic chest kept under wraps, Chloe, 30, more than ably represented Essex style in all its leggy glory - and for once drew attention for all the right reasons.

Seen out with travel pal Lauren Pope, the pair looked super glamorous for the high profile shopping trip, and were accompanied by an equally stylish brunette friend.

Lauren, 28, looked lovely in a lemon shift dress which she paired with high grey sandals.

Chloe and Lauren flew first class to Los Angeles and hit the party scene straight away. As well as rubbing shoulders with Jennifer Lopez, and Katherine Jenkins at a celebrity party, last night they dined at celebrity sushi haunt Katsuya with friends.

However it seems the fun is about to come to an end, as the Lauren tweeted that it was in fact their last day in LA - and they seemed determined to make the most of it by bagging some last minute treats.

Lost? The trio seemed to be slightly confused about where to go next

Meanwhile, the girls will no doubt be glad to return in time to film a summer special in 'Marbs'.

TOWIE bosses are to take the hit reality show to the Spanish resort of Marbella their favourite holiday spot in the next few months.

The show has been embroiled in a legal row with former Big Brother winner Brian Belo, who claimed he came up with the original idea for the series.

He is also currently working on reality show Marbella Beach in which Channel 5 is said to be interested.

We mean business: The girls looked serious about bagging some bargains in Beverley Hills

A TOWIE insider insisted their Spanish special has been in development for months. Sam Faiers has admitted the cast had been begging producers to let them film in Marbella – where one of her grans lives.

She told The Sun: 'We are begging for a series in Marbella and I have told them that if they go they are getting Nanny Wendy in it.

'She is mad, wears Juicy tracksuits, has a little shih tzu and drives around Marbella in a convertible.'

Just call me... Cheryl: Miss Cole finally drops Ashley's name (for her music career)

By Daily Mail Reporter


No more Mrs Cole: Cheryl just wants to be known by her first name for her pop career and not her former footballer husband Ashley's surname

She's aiming to be as big as star as Rihanna and Beyonce - and now it seems that Cheryl Cole is finally ready to put her failed marriage behind her.

The singer is reportedly dropping the name Cole - and like the music world's biggest stars, will simply be known by her first name - Cheryl.

However, she's not actually removing the name legally. But it is still something of a statement, and further confirms that she has moved on from serial cheat Ashley.


A source told The Sun: 'She’s not removing Cole legally, it’s just a career statement.

'She’s in a really good place at the moment and wants to take life by the balls.

'She can’t wait to start performing live again and her new stage name has given her comeback an extra bit of spice.'

Cheryl never ditched her marital surname even after separating from Chelsea and England star Ashley last year.

Party time: Cheryl tweeted a picture of herself at Kimberley Walsh's boyfriend Justin's birthday bash on Friday

And she's already started work on claiming her place back in the charts as she filmed a new video in Los Angeles last week for song Call My Name.

And it seems the former X Factor judge is keen to take on Rihanna and co as she was seen gyrating in a pair of leopard skin hotpants with a floral print crop top.

Meanwhile, the Girls Aloud singer partied with Kimberley Walsh at the birthday of boyfriend Justin Scott on Friday at Vanilla in central London.

Earlier in the day Cheryl met up with her former Girls Aloud bandmates to discuss a Girls Aloud comeback tour.

'I want to take a break for a couple months': Denise Welch threatens to quit Loose Women

By J J Anisiobi


After 10 years on Loose Women, Denise Welch has threatened to walk away from the ITV1 show for good.

The 53-year-old has been left feeling exhausted with all of her current commitments and wants to try and lighten her work load.

Denise said that she is finding it difficult to make time for her two sons because her schedule is already so busy with presenting and acting.

Time to go: Denise Welch has threatened to quit Loose Women due to her hectic schedule

Her recent split from husband Tim Healy has put a strain on her relationship with her boys and she wants to make more time available to be with them.

The former Coronation Street star is currently doing a UK theatre tour with her new play Steel Magnolias.

She told the Sunday Mirror: 'I’m touring all around the country and then have to race back to the studio. I was already knackered trying to do them both before the tour even started and rehearsals were in London.'

Making way: The mother-of-two wants to spend more time with her two sons

She also explained how she has been finding it tough to continuously be juggling her responsibilities, and naturally she has dropped the ball a few times.

It was on Loose Women that the Celebrity Big Brother winner announced her 23-year marriage was over.

Denise now wants to be there for her sons Matthew and Louis, who are finding their parents separation difficult to deal with.

The break up: Tim Healy and Denise split this year after 23 years of marriage

When the theatre tour is over she plans to take a break from the ITV1 daytime show for at least two months to see her children more.

She told the newspaper: 'I haven’t done that in years and I think I’ll deserve it by then.

'Then I’ll see what happens after that and whether I’ll go back. Who knows what might come up ­between now and then?'

Last week Denise revealed to Closer magazine how her hectic work timetable had helped her shed some excess pounds.

At 5ft 4, the mother-of-two, has slimmed down since leaving the Big Brother house earlier this year, and she thanks her schedule for the transformation.

She said to the magazine: 'I’ve been so busy, I’m back to a size 8-10 and around 9st – which is what I was after I was on Dancing On Ice last year.'

Life's a beach! Olivier Martinez bonds with Halle Berry's daughter Nahla on a day out in Malibu

By Leah Simpson


Family day out: American Actress Halle Berry and partner Olivier Martinez spent the day at the beach with Halle's daughter Nahla Aubry in Malibu

She is currently embroiled in a legal spat with her former partner Gabriel Aubry over their four-year-old daughter Nahla.

But while Halle Berry is reportedly attempting to win permission to move the youngster to her fiancé Olivier Martinez's native France, the group have been putting on a touching display during the Easter break.

The actress and her loved ones took to Malibu where they frolicked on the beach.

Apple of their eye: Olivier keeps a watchful eye on Nahla as he and Halle stroll together on Malibu Beach

The 45-year-old appeared to be in utter bliss as she enjoyed the fresh ocean air and having her two favourite people around her.

The busy star took time out from the time consuming school runs she is often seen on to play in the sand with her child.

Wearing a pink bikini underneath a loose white T-shirt and denim shorts, the pixie-haired movie star looked effortlessly good.

Nature's biggest fan: Nahla found the things around her very intriguing during the beach trip

Her little girl was dressed in a pretty multi-coloured striped dress but despite her delicate look, she clearly has a tomboy personality.

Nahla was enthusiastic about discovering the nature around her, running up and down the shore to collect decayed palm leaves and large rocks.

And she appeared to be getting along brilliantly with her future step-father, swinging on makeshift apparatus under the Frenchman’s guidance.

The two even had some alone time as he took the little girl for a small dip in the water while her mother captured the moment on camera.

According to TMZ.com, Berry's legal council hope to prove that Gabriel’s modelling schedule would mean he has plenty of free time to travel back and forth from the US to Europe to visit his child.

However Gabriel is vigorously opposing the proposed move, which must be approved by the custody judge.

Did these flirty pictures of Kris Smith with model Jennifer Hawkins signal the end for heartbroken Dannii Minogue?

By Emily Sheridan and Donna Mcconnell


I've got my eye on you: Kris Smith's burgeoning friendship with model Jennifer Hawkins, seen together last October, are said to be responsible his split from Dannii Minogue


With her eyes smiling and a wide grin transfixed on Kris Smith, these pictures that capture model Jennifer Hawkins growing closeness to Dannii Minogue's ex-partner are said to be one of the reasons for the couples split.

The pictures taken last October are said to have signalled the final nail in the coffin for the former X Factor judge who was heartbroken after seeing pictures of their flirty friendship.

Both Kris, 33, and Jennifer, 28, who work as models for Australian department store Myer have denied having an affair. But the chemistry between them is more than apparent.


Too close? The pictures taken last October are said to have signalled the final nail in the coffin for the former X Factor judge who was heartbroken after seeing their flirty friendship pictured

Model behaviour: The pair both model for Australian department store Myer


Despite being dogged by rumours of model Kris's flirting, Dannii is said to have fought hard to save the relationship and she gave up her job as an X Factor judge to move back to Australia.

However a source told The Daily Star: 'Kris wanted Dannii to be a stay-at-home mum. He wanted her to quit Australia's Got Talent and her modelling work and any job that took her away from home.'

The new pictures emerged as Kris was seen back in his day job for Myer yesterday in Sydney with model Hawkins for more promotional duties.

While the former X Factor judge, 40, is at home in Melbourne with their 20-month-old son Ethan, Kris is over 500 miles away at the Rosehill Racecourse in Sydney.

Much friendlier: Kris and Dannii in happier times with Jennifer and her fiance Jake Wall last year

Judging a best dressed content at the racecourse this weekend, Myer bosses refused to let Kris be photographed next to former Miss Universe Jennifer.

Jennifer, who is engaged to male model Jake Wall, said last year: 'Kris is so much fun, he’s such a cool guy. He’s much more of a mate to me it’s nice.'

And while he awkwardly shared the stage with brunette Lauren, they didn't share any eye contact.

However, after their promotional duties, Kris kept his distance from the two women, despite their friendlier working relationship last year.

Dannii wrote on Twitter: 'It brings me great sadness to tell you that Kris and I have separated... our son Ethan remains our number one priority.'

Meanwhile, Mancunian model Kris wrote on his page: 'Dannii and I have a deep mutual love and respect for each other and although things have not worked out we have a gorgeous son together that we both love and implore everyone to respect our privacy at this challenging time.'

Heartbroken Ultimo founder Michelle Mone 'trashes estranged husband's Porsche after discovering new romance with their designer'

By Emily Sheridan


Shock split: Michelle Mone and her husband Michael announced their split after Christmas following 19 years of marriage

Heartbroken lingerie tycoon Michelle Mone reportedly trashed her estranged husband Michael's Porsche after discovering he was in a new romance with one of their company designers.

The Ultimo founder was shocked to discover her husband of 19 years had quickly moved on following their shock split at last Christmas.

According to The Sun, the mother-of-three, 40, discovered that Michael, 46, had spent the night with Ultimo designer Samantha Bunn, who Michelle considered a friend.


Michelle had a good working relationship with Samantha, who lives in Derby and to join the Mone family at their home for dinner whenever she was in Scotland.

A friend tells The Sun: '(Michelle) started noticing Sam was constantly in Michael's office, flicking her hair and laughing.

'About two weeks ago, Michelle asked her outright if she was having an affair with Michael. Sam denied it point blank.'

Michelle allegedly hired a private investigator, who took photographs of Michael and Sam going to a hotel room together.

Cryptic: Mone wrote a message about trust on her Twitter page on Thursday

According to The Sun, Michelle has allegedly fired Sam and keyed Michael's £120,000 Porsche Panamera.

Michael denied cheating on his wife before their split, telling the paper: 'Prior to our split, there was no relationship.'

While Michelle is yet to comment on the revelations, she left a cryptic message on her Twitter page on Thursday.

She wrote: 'Lesson never trust anyone 100% apart from your kids & mum & dad.'
The couple split shortly before Christ,as. but it is believed Michael was still living at one end of their mansion in Lanarkshire.

Body confident: Michelle admitted her husband wasn't happy when she did a lingerie shoot two years ago

In February, Mone, whose lingerie business had a £10.3million turnover last year, revealed her pain over the breakdown of their marriage.

She told the Sunday Times: 'I miss him. I miss what we had. I just keep thinking I'm going to be on my own for the rest of my life.'

She said she will never get married again and men were probably frightened of her anyway.

'I wish I was that woman who relied on her husband to do things for her. To buy her things, to cling on to [him] in the way a wife does. I don't think a lot of men like independent women. I just became too strong...

'Why did I want to be Michelle Mone? Why did I want to start all these businesses? Why can I never be satisfied with what I've got? Why can't I just chill, become a wife? Be at home? I'm not dissing housewives, but why couldn't that be me? And then maybe I wouldn't have gone through all this heartache.

Support: Mone with her good friend Carol Vorderman at the Cheltenham Festival in Gloucestershire last month

'I think the business has taken over my life. It is my life.'

The couple founded MJM International with her husband in 1996, launching the first of her cleavage-enhancing Ultimo bras in 1999.

Michelle had read about a new silicone product while on holiday in Florida, and obtained the European licence to make bras from it.

The cracks began to show when Michael objected to his wife posing in her underwear for the £40million brand two years ago after famously shedding six stone.

She revealed it was 'the first time I'd ever gone against my husband'.

Mone's representative has yet to respond to the MailOnline's request for comment.
