Elizabeth Hurley has maintained her stunning figure with a wide array of controversial diets over the years.

But after new boyfriend Shane Warne revealed he's lost 22 pounds over the past few months, fans are wondering if his model girlfriend has influenced his diet.

The Australian cricketer showed off his slimmed down physique in a tight T-shirt today as he launched his clothing line in Mumbai, India.

Standing next to svelte Hurley, 45, in tops from his Spinners range, there was no denying Warne looked better than he has done in years.

Although Warne's manager insisted his new slimline look was down to a health kick of his own decision, many have noticed the sportsman's more coiffed appearance in recent months.

His manager James Erskine laughed off speculation that diet-conscious Hurley had influenced her boyfriend, insisting the 42-year-old was simply getting fitter so he could match his twentysomething teammates in the Rajasthan Royals.

Erskine said: 'He has been on a real fitness campaign since about eight weeks before he went to India.

'When you are 42 and you're competing against a team of young 20-year-olds, you have to be fit.'

'His weight normally fluctuates but he is in unbelievable form at the moment. I was with him a couple of weeks ago and he said he was down to 82kg (12st 9lbs).'

Apparently Warne shifted the pounds after cutting down fatty food and alcohol in his diet, drinking more water and shakes and his new routine of daily runs and workouts.

Hurley upset dieticians last year when she admitted she skipped breakfast, Tweeting: 'Mugs of hot water first thing, maybe an espresso and a few oat cakes mid morning.'

She also was said to have followed a cabbage soup diet to lose her baby weight following the birth of son Damien in 2001.

With his poker playing and past reputation for womanising, Warne has always been known as a 'man's man'.

But the Rajasthan Royals captain revealed on Twitter last month, he was started to spend more time on his appearance and had no qualms about admitting to using Estee Lauder moisturiser - the beauty firm which Hurley models for.

He Tweeted: 'Questions re facelift / Botox etc - are absolute rubbish - I am 86kg - lost 7kg and are close to being the fittest I have ever been.

'I am also eating very healthily and am flattered that people think I look younger - I have worked hard over the last 5 months on fitness and lifestyle - it's far from a quick fix - fitness and being healthy is now a daily habit - I feel great and never been happier in my life.

'As I said seems hardwork paid off - thanks for all the compliments re looking younger - will keep up my daily routine - big game v KKR tmrw.

'Yes had teeth whitened (18 months ago) - new Estee lauder moisturiser for my skin have made a big difference too - Yes I'm still a man hahaha.'

Warne's launch came after he and Hurley were the guests of honour at a party thrown by Rajasthan Royals owner Shilpa Shetty and her husband Raj Kundra.

Shetty has been subjected to rumours she is pregnant with her first child in recent weeks so she took to Twitter to decry them.

She wrote today: 'Sick and tired of all the congratulatory msgs and calls,so for the last time "I AM NOT PREGNANT".all this is so annoying..grrrrrrrrr.'

Meanwhile, Hurley has also been working on her Elizabeth Hurley Beach collection.

She Tweeted today: ':In Bombay, finishing work on sampling 2012 kaftans for my collection. All looking gorgeous. Best fabrics in India & best embroidery.'

Hurley and Warne have been dating on and since at least December, when she was forced to go public about her split from estranged husband Arun Nayar after she was photographed kissing the cricketer.

The Estee Lauder spokesmodel insisted she and Nayar, 46, had separated months earlier, but her husband was said to be upset by the photos.

Hurley and Warne were first linked last July after the model was photographed chatting to the Australian at the Glorious Goodwood Festival.

The self-made multi-millionairess looked glamorous compared to the night before, when she'd kept it casual and gone out make-up free for dinner at Balans in Soho.

Loved-up: Smiling Leandro looked smart as he lead his girlfriend to the restaurant for their dinner date

'I think it’s called growing up. Light and funny has a more compelling quality when you’re younger,' she said.

'Make love to that microphone': Lady Gaga pushes American Idol contestants to their theatrical best

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Theatrical: Lady Gaga tutored the four remaining American Idol contestants, advising them to add a touch of theatre to their performance


Lady Gaga is not known for her restrained approach to performing - whether it be emerging from an egg or dousing herself with blood onstage.

So perhaps she was just what American Idol needed to liven it up as the final four contestants performed last night.

The eccentric pop superstar pushed the Fox singing competition's finalists to add theatrics to their renditions of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller songs.


Intimidating? Gaga tutors the religious country singer Scotty McCreery, who kissed his crucifix when she told him to act like the microphone was his girlfriend


Her advice that Scotty McCreery should pretend that the microphone is his girlfriend prompted the deep-voiced 17-year-old country crooner to kiss the cross around his neck.

'You've got to get right in the center of that hot dog,' she advised the conservative singer.


Ready for super stardom: McCreery received plaudits from the judges for his performance


Lady Gaga's steamy direction didn't seem to deter McCreery, who impressed the judges with both his rollicking take on The Coasters' Young Blood and heartfelt rendition of Alan Jackson's Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning) during the beginning of Wednesday's episode when the finalists were tasked with performing inspirational tunes.

'You're ready for superstardom, and I hope you make it,' Randy Jackson told McCreery afterward.


Popular: The singer has the audience on their feet


Lauren Alaina also seemed poised for greatness with her inspirational ballad of Martina McBride's Anyway, but she wasn't ready to proclaim that she was 'evil,' as noted in the lyrics to Elvis Presley's Trouble, until she received some motivation from Lady Gaga, who directed the 16-year-old singer to sing the ditty in character.

'When I was 16, I was way too weird to be on American Idol,' Lady Gaga admitted.
The result was apparently delicious, with Steven Tyler noting that Alaina 'delivers a song like a blue plate special.'

What an outfit: Lauren Alaina and the other contestants performed songs by writers Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller


Haley Reinhart, 20, wasn't quite as yummy.

The judges bickered about her interpretation of Michael Jackson's Earth Song.
Tyler was a fan, but Jackson and Jennifer Lopez didn't eat it up.

'I felt like you were just screaming,' Jackson said over a chorus of boos from the crowd.

Reinhart returned with a vengeance - and a string orchestra - with Ben E King's I (Who Have Nothing).


Taking her advice: Gaga tutors Hayley Reinhart, who then had her stand-out performance of the season


Two different sides: Hayley sang 'Earth Song' by Michael Jackson then Ben E King's I (Who Have Nothing)


Lady Gaga directed her to let out a dramatic exhale in the middle of the song.

The judges were floored. Jackson dubbed it 'her moment' of the night, and Tyler informed her that she 'just Reinharted yourself into the middle of next week.'

'That was amazing,' said Lopez. 'One of the best performances of the year.'

James Durbin, the wailing 22-year-old rocker, opened the show clad in tails with Journey's Don't Stop Believin' and closed it down with a metal-tinged take on The Clovers' Love Potion No 9.


Getting into it: Gaga and James Durbin share a love of performance


Hands on: Gaga shows James how to move


Jackson, who formerly played bass with Journey, said Durbin was 'paying homage to my friends,' and Tyler attested that he 'did it right.'

'You can sing anything,' Lopez told Durbin after Love Potion No. 9.
One of the four finalists will be eliminated tomorrow night.

Bollywood beauty Aishwarya Rai keeps it simple in pretty brown dress at Cannes

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Keeping it simple: Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai looked pretty in a brown dress and black heels at a photocall in Cannes yesterday


It must be difficult having to come up with outfits for every single occasion ahead of the Cannes Film Festival.

So Bollywood beauty Aishwarya Rai can be forgiven for going for a plain outfit as she attended a photocall for the festival yesterday.

However, while Aishwarya's dress was absent of any glamour, it flattered her lithe figure and complemented her brunette hair.


Beautiful: Aishwarya is arguably one of the most recognisable Indian actresses in the world


The 37-year-old actress teamed the dress with a pair of black strappy sandals as she posed on the dock.

Aishwarya, who is arguably one of the most recognisable Indian actresses, was at Cannes to announce she would be signing on for a new project - a tale of a fictional Bollywood star entitled Heroine.

Asked if the film would be at all autobiographical, Aishwarya replied: 'That's what the viewer will probably be searching for, but very honestly, as an actor, it's your professional responsibility to give to your characters with absolute commitment.


Red carpet glamour: Aishwarya chose a stunning asymmetric dress for the opening night of Cannes earlier this week


Aishwarya posed at the photocall with director Bhandarkar and producer Ronnie Screwvala.

The actress has been keeping busy during the Cannes Film Festival, and also made an appearance at the opening night ceremony and screening of Woody Allen's Midnight In Paris looking stunning in a nude asymmetric beaded gown.

A release date for Heroine has yet to be announced, but production is due to commence in June.
