Make mine a plus three: Pregnant Jessica supported by daughter Honor and husband Cash at Spy Kids premiere

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Blooming beautiful: Pregnant Jessica Alba looked radiant today as she attended the premiere of her new movie Spy Kids 4: All The Time In The World in Hollywood

She's due to give birth any day now.

But Jessica Alba still managed to squeeze in a public appearance today as she attended the premiere of her new movie, Sky Kids 4: All The Time In The World, today in Hollywood.

The stunning actress was supported by her husband Cash Warren and three-year-old daughter Honor at the event.


Red carpet royalty: The actress wore a full-length maxi dress with a star pattern


Jessica looked stunning in a floor-length black and white, star patterned maxi dress.

She wore her hair in a stylish updo and cradled her bump as she posed for photographs on the red carpet.

At one point her co-star Joel McHale jokingly hid her burgeoning belly behind his suit jacket as they had a group snap taken along with Jeremy Piven, who also appears in the film.

The movie is the fourth in the Spy Kids franchise, but the first time Alba has had a role.


We're coming too: She was supported by her husband Cash Warren and three-year-old daughter Honor


She plays the part of retired spy Marissa, who is thrust back into action along with her two step children, played by Rowan Blanchard and Mason Cook, after maniacal Timekeeper (Jeremy Piven) attempts to take over the world.

In a recent interview, Alba revealed that her three-year-old daughter thinks she is old enough to 'drink vino and drive'.

Little Honor Marie is set to become a big sister when her mother and dad Cash Warren welcome their second child later this year.


Cute: the father and daughter share a giggle as they arrive to support Jessica


And appearing on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Alba said her new status has convinced Honor that she is ready to become an adult.

'She's excited, she says she's going to actually be the mommy [and] I'm going to be the grandma. That's the way she phrases it,' she said.

'My girlfriend asked her, "Are you excited about being a big sister?" And she's like, "Yeah, because I'm going to be a grown-up. I'm going to drink vino and drive."'


Hiding the bump: Co-star Joel McHale covers Alba's burgeoning belly with his jacket as the pose with fellow co-star Jeremy Piven

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Dedicated support: Miley Cyrus has got her seventh tattoo, this time in support of gay rights

Most people who promote a cause might usually do some volunteer work or perhaps donate some money.

The singer got the 'equal' symbol permanently etched on her middle finger, writing on Twitter: 'All LOVE is equal'.

It appears that Miley is referring to The All Love is Equal campaign launched by the Gay & Lesbian Rights Lobby.

Miley has been very vocal on gay rights in the past.

Earlier this month, when Casey Anthony was infamously acquitted for the murder of her daughter Caylee, Miley tweeted: You know the world is skewed when people get away with murdering children, but we cant get gay marriage legalized in the state of California.'


More ink: Just over two months ago she picked up her sixth tattoo, an anchor design whilst on her Gypsy Hearts tour in Brazil



With love: Miley also has an outline of a love heart on her pinky




Spiritual: Miley has a dream catcher on the right side of her ribcage, which she acquired earlier this year


Recently a leaked photograph of the singer getting her dream catcher tattoo done leaked online.

Westlife's Kian Egan announces he and wife Jodi Albert are expecting their first baby

By Sarah Bull


Excited: Westlife singer Kian Egan has revealed he and wife Jodi Albert are expecting their first child together


Westlife star Kian Egan and his wife Jodi Albert have announced they are expecting their first child.

The 31-year-old singer told fans on his Twitter page this afternoon that he and Parade singer Jodi are 'delighted' about the prospect of becoming parents.

He wrote: 'Myself and my wife @JodiWonderland are delighted to say we are expecting our first baby! We are so happy and cannot wait to be parents x.'


Former Hollyoaks actress Jodi, 28, also reiterated the couple's statement on her Twitter page.

The couple married in a romantic ceremony on Turtle Beach in the Caribbean in May 2009, after five years together.

Since then, Kian has been working hard not only in Westlife but also managing Jodi's girlband Wonderland.

Proud: Kian announced the news on his Twitter page this afternoon


Talking about her hopes for the success of the group recently, Jodi said she was looking forward to the challenge of competing with the success of bands such as Girls Aloud.

She said: 'I know that Girls Aloud may reform next year, but I welcome that as I think we can hold our own. If we become half as successful that’s be amazing.'

'We have gained quite a few fans, though, in part thanks to Westlife who we’ve opened for in concert in front of 70-odd thousand people – not many new bands get that chance. It’s been great for us and the reception’s been good.'


Expecting: Jodi kept her stomach hidden as she and Kian stepped out last month


But Jodi also revealed she actually had to audition for her husband before he agreed to put her in the band.

She said: 'Don’t get me wrong, it was probably one of the hardest auditions I’ve ever had to do and I’ve been to a lot of auditions in my life.

'But I just had to grit my teeth and go for it, and forget for a second about everything else. I thought to myself, I either want to do this and get signed or I can get silly about it and then I may as well just go home.'

Who's a beautiful baby? Zara's niece gets an excited cuddle from mummy

By Daily Mail Reporter


Smooch: Peter Phillips' wife Autumn plants a smacker on the cheek of their baby daughter Savannah as they leave the Palace of Holyroodhouse after the wedding of Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall

Her demeanour might well have been one of dignity and elegance for her sister-in-law Zara Phillips' wedding yesterday.

However today, Autumn Phillips showed off an all together more unguarded and loving side as she planted a kiss on the cheek of her adorable baby daughter as they left the Holyroodhouse.

Savannah looked delighted and grinned as her mother lifted her into the air and landed her lips on the little one's face.

Oh baby! Autumn chats with a policeman outside Holyroodhouse the day after the wedding, as baby Savannah looks on with curiosity


The youngster was also captured staring curiously at a policeman who chatted casually with her mother as they waited outside the wedding reception venue.

They were joined by a smiling Peter Phillips who looked relaxed as he loaded his family's belongings into a waiting car, including Savannah's buggy.

Dressed in jeans and casual shirts, the couple's easygoing attire was in stark contrast to the smart splendour displayed for the wedding the day before, and also the evening wear on show at the pre-wedding cocktail party on board HMS Britannia.

But today, it looked as though the whole family had thoroughly enjoyed the wedding of Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall as a string of Royals gradually emerged from the wedding reception venue throughout the afternoon.

The morning after the night before: Autumn and Peter Phillips look relaxed as they load Savannah's pushchair and other belongings into their car

All smiles: Little Savannah looks delighted as she gets a playful kiss from mummy while dad Peter beams as he joins his family outside the venue


Zara's mother, The Princess Royal, Prince Harry, the Duke of York and Prince Edward with his wife the Countess of Wessex were all spotted leaving the palace - along with Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie - at various points throughout the day.

And, of course, the happy couple were seen making their way home.

Mike Tindall, known for his love of a good party, looked as thought he'd had the time of his life after marrying long-time love Zara.

The England rugby star was spotted wearing the same grey trousers and blue collared shirt he did the day before and looked as though he hadn't slept a wink. He later re-emerged in a change of clothes.

His new wife Zara looked radiant in white jeans, flip flops and a beige sleeveless top.

The newlyweds departed from the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh this afternoon in a chauffeur-driven silver Mercedes.

In all their finery: The couple's casual attire today was a far cry from their smart suits worn at Zara and Mike's wedding yesterday

Cocktail hour: The couple also turned on the glamour for a pre-wedding drinks party on HMS Brittania the night before the big day


But instead of heading off on honeymoon, the sporting couple are postponing their break and preparing for a return to training this week.

Former equestrian world champion Zara, 30, will be competing in the Gatcombe Park horse trials later this week and England rugby star Tindall, 32, is likely to feature in a match against Wales next Saturday.

The Queen and Prince Philip left by helicopter and were taken to Balmoral Castle to begin their summer holiday Prince Charles and the Duchess or Cornwall are thought to have left before them and headed for the Caslte of Mey.

The couple have been determined to keep their wedding a private family occasion, but the crowds have been equally determined to share in their happiness during the first Royal wedding to be held in Scotland in 20 years.

Happiest day of their lives: Mike and Zara the day after their wedding, looking happy and relaxed

Flower girls: Beatrice and Eugenie leave with floral memories of the big wedding while Harry's happy to be out of his suit

By Emily Allen


Morning after: Princess Beatrice clutches wedding flowers as she leaves Holyroodhouse Palace in Edinburgh with her boyfriend Dave Clarke


They are so beautiful - it really would be a shame to waste them.

Well, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie certainly thought so as they were pictured clutching a bouquet of flowers from the wedding of Zara Phillips and rugby star Mike Tindall.

Perhaps they thought they would brighten up their own homes - and serve as a memento of their cousin's big day.

Or maybe they thought they would cheer up their mother, Sarah, Duchess of York, who was not invited to the Scottish nuptials.

Princess Eugenie - also clutching flowers - leaves in a bright blue dress and blazer with her father Prince Andrew


Despite the beautiful blooms she was carrying, Beatrice looked rather worse-for-wear as she left the Palace at Holyroodhouse in a navy blue blazer, pink scarf and flat shoes - with long-term boyfriend Dave Clark in tow.

A more fresh-faced Princess Eugenie left the palace with her father Prince Andrew in a turquoise dress, black ballet pumps and a navy jacket.

Meanwhile, Prince Harry looked pleased to be out of his wedding suit. He was photographed in a much more hangover-friendly jeans and a blue denim shirt as he got into a white Jaguar XJL for a lift home.

Dressing down: Prince Harry in a more comfortable jeans and linen shirt, and Princess Eugenie looking delighted with her free bouquet


Dressed down as ever, mother-of-the-bride Princess Anne left the palace in a navy blue anorak and departed Edinburgh in a waiting Bentley.

Earlier in the day photographers were waiting outside the palace only to see new groom Mike Tindall still in his wedding gear.

His new bride Zara however, wore flat, brown leather sandals, white jeans and a sleeveless beige top, whilst her hair was scraped back in a ponytail.

Smart: Princesses Eugenie, left, looked elegant in a chocolate-brown dress whilst Princess Beatrice opted for a bright blue dress adorned with flowers and crystals - not to mention a 'satellite dish' hat


With Tindall having finally changed his clothes, the newly-weds headed off in a silver Mercedes to enjoy one last afternoon together before Tindall returns to training with the England rugby squad tomorrow.

Former equestrian world champion Zara, 30, will be competing in the Gatcombe Park horse trials later this week and 32, is likely to feature in a match against Wales next Saturday.

The Queen and Prince Philip left by helicopter and were taken to Balmoral Castle to begin their summer holiday.

Prince Charles and the Duchess or Cornwall are thought to have left before them and headed for the Caslte of Mey.

The pair emerged a little later and Mike had finally changed out of his wedding gear into something a little more casual

THE SATELLITE DISH OR THE LOO SEAT - WHICH WAS WORSE?

It had been widely-regarded as a fashion faux pas – but the pink silk hat that Princess Beatrice wore to the Royal Wedding was almost topped this weekend - but not quite.

At her second royal wedding this year, the Princess showed off her love for unusual headgear with a hat widely described as 'a satellite dish'.

One Twitter commentator tweeted: 'Is Beatrice helping Sky get close up coverage?'

Headgear: Princess Beatrice's 'satellite' dish wedding hat was not as bad as her Royal Wedding 'loo seat'


The peculiar turquoise number perched at an angle on her head and matched her Angela Kelly turquoise double silk fitted jacket and dress which was adorned with flowers and crystals.

But despite it's unusual design, fortunately for Beatrice it did not attract quite as much negative attention as the much-derided hat she wore to the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton in April.

The 22-year-old put the distinctive Philip Treacy design up for auction on eBay following the uproar raising £81,000 for children's charities.

Not bad for a £1,000 creation which had variously been compared to a cat flap, a pretzel and a toilet seat.

'I'm not going to stop until I have a Bentley like Simon Cowell's!' Cher Lloyd reveals plans to become a 'big businesswoman'

By Sarah Bull


Big plans: Cher Lloyd says she wants to be as big as Simon Cowell


Cher Lloyd has revealed she isn't going to stop in the music industry until she is rich enough to buy a Bentley like the one Simon Cowell owns.

The 18-year-old singer, whose debut single Swagger Jagger is released tomorrow, said she isn't going to let any criticism hold her back in her mission to make it as the next big thing in music.

She said: 'I just ignore anyone that doesn’t like my music. I’m not stopping until I have a Bentley like Simon has got.'

Nice ride: The 18-year-old admitted she's not going to stop until she has a Bentley the same as the one owned by Simon Cowell


Cher also revealed Simon has always encouraged her to stick to her own unique style when it comes to her attitude and her music.

She added to the Sunday Mirror: 'He told me not to change and not let people tell me what to do. He said listen to people that know best but always do what your gut says is right. He’s a good man.

‘I’d love to be like Simon. I really look up to him and everything he has achieved. I want to be a big businesswoman.

'One day I’d like my own record label to give other artists the chance to get their music out there.’

In the meantime, Cher is hoping Swagger Jagger and her debut album, out in November, prove successful.

And the former X Factor star said despite negative criticism surrounding the catchy track, she maintains it is a good song.

She said: 'Swagger Jagger stood out from the beginning as the first single. But there are other tracks on the album with different sounds. I’d love my album to do well.

'And I’d love to do a tour as well at some point so I can perform the songs live. I’m going to be doing lots of gigs this year no ­matter what.'

Since appearing on The X Factor, Cher has made a name for herself as one of the most famous former contestants, but says she doesn't think of herself as a celebrity.

Colourful: Cher performed her debut single Swagger Jagger at T4 On The Beach earlier this month


She said: 'I don’t really see myself as being famous. I’m just well-known. I’m coping well with it all, I think. My whole life has changed, but I’m ­learning something new every day.

'I’m no big drama - I just get on with it and don’t care. I don’t expect too much and in return don’t expect too much from me.'
