Immaculate: Penelope flaunted her post-pregnancy curves in a stunning purple lace fitted dress as she received a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame today


Penelope Cruz was the picture of gorgeous glowing health today as she received her star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame.

The 36-year-old who just recently welcome a son into the world, revealed her post-pregnancy curves in a stunning purple lace fitted dress as she addressed a crowd of fans in a ceremony outside the El Capitan Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard.

The outfit highlighted her curvaceous figure after giving birth to her son Leo Encinas Cruz just over two month ago.


Big moment: With her husband Jarvier Bardem watching from the crowd and her close friend and co-star Johnny Depp in tow, the actress posed in front of her star situated on the famous Hollywood strip


For the ceremony she let her golden-tipped brown locks flow naturally and slipped on a pair of sky-high Christian Louboutins.

With her husband Jarvier Bardem watching from the crowd, and her close friend and co-star Johnny Depp in tow, the actress posed in front of her star situated on the famous Hollywood strip.

Leaning down to touch the honourable plaque, the Spanish-born actress beamed with happiness.

Before the star was unveiled, Penelope took to the stage and gave a sentimental and gracious speech.


Proud: Johnny got up to the stage and said a few words about his co-star and friend


With a light humour, she credited her Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides co-star Johnny Depp as being the one who helped her learn English when she first moved to Los Angeles.

'I want to thank the man with the hat. Let me tell you about the man with the hat. I came to Los Angeles for the first time in 1994, I spoke no English. I only knew how to say two things, two sentences. One was, 'How are you?', the other one was, 'I want to work with Johnny Depp.

'In the last 10 years I have worked with him twice and that has improved my English, so now I know how to say, 'I want to work with Johnny Depp again!


Friends: The pair have known each other for 10 years and starred in two films together


'Thank you Johnny for your friendship, your friendship, your talent, you are such an inspiration to so many of us, always.'

The Vanilla Sky star also thanked her Pirates Of The Caribbean director Rob Marshall, who gave the actress a glowing review as he introduced her to the stage.

'Thank you Rob Marshall for being here today and the beautiful things you said.

Thank you for your continued generosity and kindness, you are a big heart with a pair of legs walking around this world always with a smile on your face,' she said.


Hugs: The two actors embraced after the ceremony was over


Lovers: Penelope left with her proud husband Jarvier Bardem


Following the ceremony, Penelope embraced Johnny for a cuddle before leaving with her husband Bardem.

In Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, Penelope plays the daughter of pirate Blackbeard and the love interest of Johnny Depp's character, Captain Jack Sparrow.

She is the 2,436 person in the entertainment industry to receive the top honour of a star.


Crowd pleaser: The audience went wild for Johnny


Her first major film was 1992 drama Jamon Jamon, where she played a woman who finds herself pregnant by a man that her mother does not approve of, prompting the mother to hire an underwear model to seduce her.

It was her real-life husband Jarvier Bardem who played that role.

Penelope starred in her first English-language film The Hi-Lo Country in 1998.
She later starred in many acclaimed dramas including Vanilla Sky, Blow, Captain Corelli's Mandolin and many others.

She is also the first Spanish-born actress to win an Academy Award, scoring a Best Supporting Actress nod in 2009 for her performance in Vicky Cristina Barcelona, in which she also co-starred alongside Bardem.

Penelope and Javier welcomed their first child at the end of January.

'Both parents and baby are doing great,' her representative said at the time in a statement.

The baby was born in Los Angeles at the world-renowned Cedars Sinai hospital
They married in early July 2010 in a private ceremony at a friend's home in the Bahamas.

Walking tall: Michael Jackson's children Paris and Blanket are growing up fast

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

All grown up: Michael Jackson's children, Paris, 12 and nine-year-old Blanket appeared to have had a growth spurt as they stepped out to a toy store in Beverly Hills yesterday


They have mostly stayed out of the spotlight since their father's tragic death in 2009.

But when Michael Jackson's children stepped out yesterday to visit a Beverly Hills toy store, many may not have even recognised them.

The two children appear to have had a massive growth spurt in the two and a half years since their father's death.

Blanket, who now nine years old, in particular is looking more and more like his father everyday.


Flashback: Blanket has had a growth spurt since his father's funeral, seen nestled between siblings Paris and Prince Michael I


Blanket, otherwise known as Prince Michael II, appeared a far-cry from the little boy the world saw on stage at Michael's memorial.

Yesterday, as he walked side-by-side along the street with his sister, he was almost a foot taller and had more distinct features reminiscent of his late father.

Paris too has also grown to significant proportions, clearly inheriting the height gene from her father, who was a statuesque 5'11.


Aunty: LaToya Jackson, Michael's sister, accompanied the children to the store


Catching up: At just 12, Paris is almost the same height as LaToya


The 12-year-old was almost the same height as LaToya Jackson, Michael's sister, who accompanied the children to the store.

She also displayed more distinct features of her mother Debbie Rowe, with her angular jaw and bright blue eyes.

'Can we call her Justine Bieber Beckham?': David reveals his son Romeo's suggestion for their baby daughter's name

By GEORGINA LITTLEJOHN

Special guest: David chatted to Kimmel about him and Victoria expecting a baby girl and their sons wanting to call her Justine


In true showbiz style, they have given their three sons some very unusual first names - Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz.

But even David and Victoria Beckham will draw the line somewhere and that line is naming their daughter after Justin Bieber.

David was a guest on Jimmy Kimmel's chat show last night, and revealed that middle son Romeo wants to call her Justine Bieber Beckham, in tribute to his favourite pop star.


Surely it runs in the family? David bursts into laughter as Kimmel joked that it was unacceptable that his son Brooklyn should have to try out for his school football team


He also admitted that Victoria was relieved to be expecting a girl as she didn't want 'another penis' in the house.

The footballer told his host that he and Victoria had a few names in mind for their daughter, who Victoria is due to give birth to this summer.

And he said they had also asked their sons for some ideas and added: 'When we got told it was a boy, my middle son Romeo said, "How about Justin Bieber as a name? Justin Bieber Beckham?"


In tribute: Beckham's son Romeo wanted to name his baby sister after his favourite pop star Justin Bieber


'So now we know it's a girl, he said, "Well, how about Justine Bieber Beckham?"

He said Romeo, who is eight, and his six-year-old brother Cruz were big fans of the pop star and had met him at his concert.

When Kimmel joked that Beckham could get Bieber to deliver him a pizza or mow his lawn, the LA Galaxy star added: 'The funny thing is, I was on the way to school drop off the other day and my youngest said, "Do you think we could have a play date with Justin Bieber?" I think he's a little bit busy.'

Beckham was accompanied to the show by Victoria, Romeo and Cruz, but explained that his oldest son Brooklyn, 12, was at football try outs to which Kimmel joked: 'Tryouts? He has to try out? That's totally unacceptable.'

David then revealed that all his boys are competitive and play all sports including baseball, American Football and basketball.

In fact, David regularly takes his sons to watch the LA Lakers play and last night was snapped courtside with Romeo.


Upwardly mobile: David Beckham looked like a Wall Street banker yuppie from the 80s as he spoke to Jimmy Kimmel on his show last night


He and the family - minus Brooklyn - were snapped arriving at the studios to pre-record last night's show.

And Victoria, who was wearing limited-edition 18 carat gold sunglasses from her own collection, took to her Twitter page as she watched the interview from backstage.

She wrote: 'Sitting with the all the boys in the green room watching David film tonight's show x we are so proud of him!!! X vb'

Observers also commented on David's suit and how much he looked like a character from Wall Street.

Oh, baby! Kelly Brook takes her bump for a colourful evening at the notorious Box nightclub

By GEORGINA LITTLEJOHN

Blooming: A glowing Kelly Brook is snapped arriving at The Box Soho nightclub in London last night, her baby bump clear to see under her tight black dress


Being pregnant might have put her acting and modelling on hold for the time being.

But it certainly doesn't appear to be stopping Kelly Brook from hitting the nightclubs, particularly the ones that are starting to build a notorious reputation.

Kelly, 31, was snapped arriving at The Box in Soho, her burgeoning bump all too clear to see beneath her tight black dress.

The actress, who is almost four months pregnant with her first child, was seen entering the nightclub, which has already got itself a reputation as 'Britain's seediest VIP club'.

And we're sure that Kelly is probably the first pregnant celebrity to walk through its doors

She had a beautiful maternal glow about her as she arrived at the venue, which is already proving to be a favourite among celebrities for its "anything goes" attitude.

And afterwards, she took to her Twitter page to declare: 'Had a fun night at The Box best London Burlesque I have seen!!!'


Going to see what the fuss is about: Kelly looked excited to be checking out the venue that has already been dubbed 'Britain's seediest VIP club'


Jude Law is becoming a regular guest and other famous faces that have partied at the venue included Prince Harry and his cousins Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice, Kate Moss and cricketer Kevin Pietersen.

Last night, Sucker Punch star Vanessa Hudgens was also there with cast mates Jenna Malone and Jamie Chung.

Kelly also flashed a ring on her wedding finger, sparking speculation that she and her rugby player boyfriend Thom Evans have got engaged.

The couple, who have been dating for five months, announced they were expecting a baby together last month.

Kelly confirmed the news on her Twitter page and wrote: 'Thom and I are happy to announce we are expecting a baby girl. We are delighted XXXX.'

Yesterday, a friend said that her cravings for junk food have her worried that she might struggle to lose her baby weight after the birth.

Speaking to the Sun, they said the model has been gorging on burgers, Ben & Jerry's ice-cream and Subway sandwiches.

They added: 'Kelly's career revolves around her body and she's not prepared to spend months after she gives birth working off her baby weight.

'She's getting back to eating healthily and eating her favourites, which are big salads with fish and hearty home-made soups.'

Cheryl Cole's curves are back! Singer is looking healthier than ever as she poses for Glamour magazine photos

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Glowing with health: Cheryl Cole looked better than she has done in ages as she posed for stunning pictures in the new issue of Glamour


She had a difficult 2010 with the collapse of her marriage to Ashley Cole and a battle against life-threatening malaria.

But now Cheryl Cole appears to be back to her old self - and even seems to have gained a little weight in all the right places.

The Girls Aloud singer and X Factor judge - who has been spending a lot of time in Los Angeles recently - looked healthier than she has done in ages as she posed for some stunning photos for the latest issue of Glamour magazine.


Defiant: The singer hit back at U.S TV executives who suggested she should tone down her Geordie accent for the U.S version of The X Factor


In one photo, Cheryl - dressed in a pink floral playsuit - is positively glowing as she lies back on a stretch of grass.

And another black and white snap shows her riding a bike - while the cover sees her showing off her curves as she poses in a fitted white dress.


The full interview with Cheryl appears in the May issue of Glamour, which is out now


Cheryl is currently waiting to hear whether she has landed a job as a judge on the U.S X Factor.

Svengali Simon Cowell has said he wants her on board but show executives have expressed concerns that the singer does not have a high enough profile in the U.S - and there has also been some anguish about whether viewers will understand her accent
However she dropped her strongest hints yet in the magazine that she would be overlooked for the job - by admitting her career diary was empty.

'I really plan to not plan,' Cheryl said. 'I've had my life mapped out for the best part of ten years, so for now I just want to enjoy myself and live for the moment.'

‘I also miss British chocolate, American chocolate is awful! It’s like wax. I have to get some Dairy Milk or Galaxy brought out. As for their KitKats… I don’t know how they can even call them KitKats.’

The full interview is in the May 2011 issue of Glamour, which is out now.

By SARAH FITZMAURICE

Split: Brian McFadden and Delta Goodrem have announced their separation


They got together in 2007 and the couple became engaged later that year but after four years together Delta Goodrem and Brian McFadden have called time on their relationship.

The former Westlife member and Australian singer issued a joint statement and said the decision to break up was mutual and amicable.

McFadden, who moved to Australia to be with Delta, took to Twitter to thank his former fiancée for their time together.

Brian posted: ‘I love Delta and always will. She is one of God's living angels. I thank her for giving me the best years of my life. Please give us time x’


Moving tribute: The former Westlife singer took to Twitter to pay tribute to Delta


‘Delta Goodrem and Brian McFadden regretfully announce that they are no longer engaged, and after much consideration, have mutually decided to end their relationship,’ their joint statement read.

‘This decision has been made with a lot of soul searching from both parties with the realisation that they have grown apart.

'They leave the partnership with respect for one and other, wishing each other success and happiness for the future.’


Feeling the strain: Last week Delta was seen looking uncharacteristically dishevelled and Brian jetted into Perth ahead of Australia's Got Talent auditions


Brian, 30, and Delta, 26, met in 2004 when he asked her to duet with him on the song Almost Here.

At the time McFadden was still married to reality TV star Kerry Katona, the mother of his two children, although they had separated and the song was about their break up.

The pair have spent increasing amounts of time apart since selling the house they shared together in Sydney last year.


Musical meeting: Brian met Delta when they teamed up to duet on the song Almost Here in 2004


While Brian has been spending most of his time in Australia, Delta has been based in L.A. writing and recording her fourth album.

While the couple have been leading increasingly separate lives Brian published a gushing message to Delta on his Twitter page.

He said: 'Happy valentine to the most beautiful thing to ever arrive on this planet. My angel, my soul mate, my best friend, my life. @delta_goodrem x'

The Aussie singer failed to reply on Twitter to the public message and has as yet not commented on the split via the social networking site.
