Let's go for a spin! Demi Moore and a friend set off on a jet ski ride, yesterday on the Caribbean island of St Barts


Well, it stopped them from tweeting for a short while at least.
And Demi Moore certainly looked like she was enjoying herself as she cruised the waters around St Barts on a jet ski.

Wearing a body-hugging black wetsuit and life vest, the 48-year-old actress took a spin on a jet ski with a friend in tow.


The Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle star and her actor husband Ashton Kutcher have spent the last few days on the Caribbean island, sunning themselves on a yacht owned by Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, 44.

Ashton, 32, looked like a seasoned pro as he jetted around dressed in striped swim trunks, a black life vest and a headband.


Hold on! Demi is in control as she glides over several waves


But later, as Demi was spotted out shopping on the mainland, he stayed behind on the yacht.

Perhaps Demi was picking something up to wear to Abramovich's star-studded New Year's Eve bash, which was one of the hottest tickets in town.


I'm right behind you: Ashton Kutcher walked along the yacht then went jet skiing on his own


Several celebrities, including Salma Hayek, Jason Statham and Ellen DeGeneres have been spotted on the Caribbean island, and were rumoured to have attended last night's party.

Ashton recently revealed why he often gushes about his actress wife on social networking site Twitter.

In an essay for US Harper’s Bazaar magazine, he admitted he loves online flirting.

He said: ‘Sending sweet nothings on Twitter or Facebook is also fun. In some ways, it’s no different than sending flowers to the office.

'You are declaring your love for all to see. Who doesn’t like to be publicly adored?’

‘Tom is taking an interest in Rosie’s career. He thinks she has real star quality and it’s fantastic for her to be on their books,’ says my LA spy.

‘Tom’s influence has already transformed his wife Katie Holmes into a media-savvy woman, and now he wants to help Rosie.’

Scientologist Cruise has also offered to advise Rosie on his beliefs, should she take an interest, says my spy.

Dorset-born Rosie’s first big-screen role is in action flick Transformers: Dark Of The Moon.

Seeing in the new year: Kylie Minogue welcomed in 2011 on Jools Holland's Annual Hootenanny on BBC


She's not a stranger to welcoming in the New Year with Jools Holland on his annual Hootenanny.

And last night Kylie Minogue once again joined the diminutive musician as they welcomed in 2011 on the BBC.

The 42-year-old singer looked stunning in a skintight leopard-print dress and matching shoes as she performed some of her biggest hits, including recent smash Better Than Today.


Grr! Kylie wore a stunning skintight leopard-print strapless dress for her performance on the show


Kylie, who appeared on the show for the third consecutive year, was just one of the musical legends to appear on the programme, alongside The Who star Roger Daltrey and Gnarls Barkley frontman Cee Lo Green, who performed his hit single Forget You.

Alison Moyet, Rumer and Vampire Weekend also performed on the show, with comedians Jo Brand and Martin Freeman among the star guests in the audience.

But it was Kylie, who had curled her hair especially for the occasion, who received one of the biggest cheers of the evening when she took to the stage.


Excited: Kylie and Jools pose as the mark the start of the New Year


Belting out her hits: Kylie sang some of her most famous hits including recent smash Better Than Today


Before counting down to the next decade, Kylie joined Jools on the piano as she belted out Better Than Today, much to the delight of the star-studded audience.

And the pint-sized singer was clearly excited about welcoming in a new year, writing on her Twitter page earlier in the day: 'Put Your Hands Up... if you feel the love for 2011...whoooOooOoOoOOOPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy New Year ... love Kylie xxxx'

Kylie also revealed some of her resolutions for 2011, admitting she is hoping to make a return to movies following her cameo role as the Green Fairy in Moulin Rouge in 2001.

She said: 'I don’t know why I haven’t done it yet. Musicals are, it’s no surprise, right up my alley and I would be in seventh heaven doing a musical.

'It’s going to happen somehow but I need to be a bit more pro-active.'

The Hootenanny, which always boasts an all-star rosta of performers, is one of the most popular New Year's television shows.

Talking about fronting such a successful programme, Jools Holland said: 'I have been incredibly fortunate in working with and observing so many amazing people, which is always strange and thrilling.'

However, the programme has caused some controversy in the past, with viewers complaining that they had been misled by the fact the show is pre-recorded and not live.

But, defending the programme, a BBC spokesperson said at the time: 'Jools' Annual Hootenanny is an idealised New Year's Eve party with a line-up that would surely be impossible to deliver on December 31.'

Wrapped up warm: Jessica Simpson and her fiance Eric Johnson head for dinner in Aspen, Colorado for New Year's Eve


After spending a happy first Christmas together, Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson are clearly making the most of the romantic festive season

The couple were all smiles as they strolled through the snow holding hands while making their way to a New Year's Eve dinner.

And the pair made sure they wrapped up warm, with Jessica wearing festive reindeer leggings, snow boots and a faux fur jacket.

Johnson, a former American football player, turned life coach looked equally wrapped up in a padded black jacket, and patterned hat and scarf.

Eric's first Christmas with his in-laws Joe and Tina, Jessica's sister Ashlee, brother-in-law Pete and nephew Bronx in Encino, California, appeared to have gone well.

'Eric is the perfect addition to our family!' Jessica tweeted on the day after Christmas.


Snow go: Jessica and Eric looked very much in love on their winter holiday


'I'm so grateful this holiday season!!! I hope everyone had a magical Christmas
! Love you X.'

Eric and Jessica announced their engagement in November after just seven months of dating.

The news came less than two weeks after Jessica's ex-husband Nick Lachey announced his engagement to long-time girlfriend Vanessa Minnillo.

Public: Christina Aguilera and Matthew Rutler walked hand-in-hand as they left the Ivy yesterday in West Hollywood, California


Perhaps they WANTED to be seen. If not, Christina Aguilera and her new boyfriend chose the wrong restaurant for a pre-New Year's Eve lunch date.

The 30-year-old Burlesque star walked hand-in-hand with Matthew Rutler as they left the Ivy yesterday in West Hollywood.

Wearing black leggings, cowboy boots, a camouflage jacket and sunglasses, Christina kept her head down as her burly bodyguard pushed through the throng of photographers, who gather daily outside the Hollywood hotspot.

After filing for divorce from her husband earlier this year, she has been adjusting to life as a single mum.

But that might not be for too much longer as Christina has introduced her new man to her two-year-old son Max, which could suggest things are getting serious for the new couple.

The group enjoyed some quality family time together at The Petersen Automotive Museum.


How chivalrous: Matthew opens the car door for a smiling Christina


Happy day: Christina and Matthew took her son Max to a museum Thursday and the group seemed to enjoy themselves


In fact, Matthew and Max seemed to hit it off as the group smiled and joked as they made their way home.

Christina ditched her trademark raunchy outfits for a comfortable jacket, a skull and cross print T-shirt, black jeans and studded biker boots, topped off with a black and white peaked cap.

She also appeared to have abandoned her characteristic heavy make-up, ditching her signature bright red lipstick and opting for a cosmetics-free look.

While Christina held Max in her arms, Matthew stuck to carrying a cup of coffee.


Hitting it off: Max and Matthew seemed to get on well and the trio looked relaxed as headed for home after their fun day out


This year has been a mixture of ups and downs for the singer, who called time on her relationship to husband Jordan Bratman earlier in the year.

Christina, who married Bratman in 2005, filed for divorce, blaming her first feature film Burlesque for driving the couple apart.

And although the singer couple met her current beau on the set of the film, where he worked as her assistant, she insists that they only started dating after she filed for divorce.

‘Matthew is a special person,' she told People magazine. 'We had a really strong friendship on the movie. Once I filed for divorce, we started dating.’


Au natural: Christina ditched her trademark red lipstick and went make-up free for the group outing
