Kirstie Alley strips down to leotard on Dancing With The Stars as last three put best foot forward ahead of finale

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Star turn: Kirstie Alley dressed in a long brown dress for her second spin with Maksim Chmerkovskiy on Dancing With The Stars last night

She may have got the lowest score of the night.

But Dancing With The Stars contestant Kirstie Alley certainly turned heads with her raunchy routine, which saw her strip down to a leotard.

The former Cheers actress defied her 60 years as she put on the sultry show during a freestyle dance with partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy.

Stripped: But there was a purpose to her covered up attire as she soon ripped it off to reveal a skin-tight black leotard

Kirstie initially swept onto the dance floor conservatively dressed in a long brown gown for her second spin with Maksim.

But there was a purpose to her covered up attire - because she wasn't planning on wearing it for long.

The actress proceeded to circle the floor to show off her slimmer frame after ripping off her costume.

But the move failed to wow the judges, who gave her and Maksim 27 points.

The Dancing With The Stars finale is just around the corner, and all three remaining stars certainly brought their A game ahead of it, last night.

With each required to perform two dances, the couples chose two very different styles for both the judges choice and freestyle rounds.

Michael Jackson's children spruce up in their smartest clothes for weekly worship with grandmother

By JODY THOMPSON

Well turned out: Prince Jackson got his collar straightened by a family friend before he entered the church at Woodland Hills, Los Angeles yesterday

Their grandparents have always been strictly religious - and it seems that Michael Jackson's children are now having to go to church on Sundays as part of their new 'normal' life.

Paris 13, Prince, 14 and Blanket, nine, were seen looking incredibly smart as they accompanied their grandmother Katherine Jackson, their legal guardian, to a Jehovah's Witness chapel at the weekend for worship.

Jackson himself was a Christian and had pledged to bring up his children with God in their lives and it looks like his family is continuing his wishes.

Tied back: A suit-wearing Blanket Jackson had his hair in a ponytail before he headed into the church

Blanket - real name Prince Michael Jackson II - even had his long hair tied back in a ponytail as a mark of respect as they prepared to join the Woodland Hills Congregation in Los Angeles.

He is said to have his hair that length in tribute to his father who liked it long.
Blanket was dressed in a very grown-up white shirt with a dark suit and tie that looked like he had a bit of room to grow into.

We are family: Paris Jackson, left, looked equally smart as she joined her brothers Prince and Blanket for the service

Prince - real name Michael Joseph Jackson Jr - meanwhile was seen getting the collar of his smart two-piece neatened up by a family friend.

Paris - real name Paris-Michael Katherine Jackson - meanwhile was in a modest black long-sleeve shift dress with white embroidery around the hem, collar and cuffs, worn with sandals.

Their father the King Of Pop died on 25 June 2009 aged 50 and the whole Jackson clan have been mucking in since to make their lives as normal as possible.

As well as going to church in public for the first time, they now go to school.
And as reported by the Mail Online last week, they also go to afterschool drama class near their LA home.

In February, the children gave an interview on U.S. television and said they even fancied following their late father into showbusiness.

However, 80-year-old grandmother Katherine, and their aunt La Toya, 54, who's closely involved in their upbringing, want them to live as normal a life as possible before any attempt to launch themselves fully into the public eye.

Family fun: The children were seen leaving an afterschool drama class in LA last week

La Toya said in March: said of her nephews and niece in March: ‘They have gone to school and they really like it, so I’m very happy for them. It’s taught them something totally different about people and life.'

She also revealed they recently donated clothes to help Japanese earthquake and tsunami victims.

She said: They said they don’t mind doing and giving whatever. It was so sweet. They say, ‘Can we give our clothes to them?’ It’s really sweet.”

LaToya explained: 'My brother, their father, was just giving to everybody – $400 million of his personal money he gave to charity, and I support every penny of it.

'I think it’s very important for them to know what their father has done and to follow that legacy and to keep in their heart and mind to give always.'

A self-conscious Victoria Beckham shows her growing baby bump at manager Simon Fuller's Walk of Fame ceremony

By Daily Mail Reporter

Baby on board: Victoria Beckham shows off her baby bump in a loose fitting black dress as she watches Simon Fuller receive his Hollywood star today

She's apparently already booked a caesarean section in July to give birth to her fourth child.

And with only around six weeks to go, Victoria Beckham's baby bump is starting to look very visible.

However, the 37-year-old seemed a little self-conscious today as she stepped out in Hollywood to see her manager Simon Fuller receive his star on the Walk of Fame.

Wearing a loose fitting black dress with a bow detail at the front, the star positioned her bag in front of her bump and held her dress in place with a hand.

She wore her long brown hair loose over her dress as she posed alongside the American Idol creator when he received his award.

And with her husband David Beckham in London, their 12-year-old son Brooklyn accompanied her to the ceremony looking casual in a white shirt and black jeans.

Happy and relaxed: Mrs Beckham seemed conscious of her growing bump and held on to her dress as she strolled in the sunshine

Show of support: Mrs Beckham poses alongside her manager Simon Fuller and son Brooklyn who accompanied her in lieu of his father David, who is in London

A spokesperson for Mrs Beckham recently told MailOnline: 'It is no secret that Victoria will be having her baby in the U.S. - we will not be confirming the date although early July is correct.'

Meanwhile Fuller, who famously managed The Spice Girls, posed in front of a star-studded audience including American Idol judges Jennifer Lopez and Randy Jackson.

Lopez looked stunning in a clinging powder blue long-sleeved dress, as she sat next to husband Marc Anthony in the front row.

There was no sign of third judge Steven Tyler.

This season's American Idol rejects, Haley Reinhart and James Durbin, also arrived to show their support, with Durbin wearing a jacket adorned with a union flag.

Host Ryan Seacrest and one-time Idol winner Carrie Underwood made speeches, with Seacrest paying a more personal tribute to Fuller.

He said: 'He is innovative, strategic, creative, kind, generous and, above all, he is a tremendous friend to all of us who have gotten to know him.'

Hopefuls: Idol rejects James Durbin and Haley Reinhart also arrived at the ceremony to cheer on the programme's producer

Seacrest looked smart in a dark suit, while Underwood, who has become one of the most successful Idol winners, looked stunning in a white lace dress.

The final of American Idol will take place on Tuesday and will feature Lauren Alaina and Scotty McCreery.

The winner will be crowned in a special Wednesday night episode this week.

So will philandering Giggs' patient wife Stacey forgive him yet again?

By Alison Boshoff

Serene: Stacey with husband Ryan Giggs at the awards last Thursday

The confession, made nearly two weeks ago at their enormous mock-Tudor mansion outside Manchester, must have been painful to make and worse still to hear.

But proudly standing by Ryan Giggs at the Manchester United Player of the Year awards last Thursday, his wife Stacey Cooke appeared serenely untroubled.

Her hair was just so, and her lipstick a perfectly executed slash of vampish red.

You would hardly have known that a bombshell had just been detonated under her pretty nose – that her husband was being accused of having a six-month fling with former Big Brother contestant Imogen Thomas.

She was well aware, of course, that all eyes would be on her – and that everyone in the room would know her husband was the Premier League footballer who had taken out an injunction.

It remains to be seen whether she will leave him, taking with her a slice of Giggs’s £25million fortune and their two adorable children.

He swears that the story is not true in many respects.

And the fact is that she is still with him. His Bentley remains unmolested in the garage, and she has not taken the scissors to his collection of Dolce and Gabbana suits.

Ex marks the spot: Ryan Giggs had an intense romance with TV presenter Dani Behr (left) and dated former PR girl Caroline Stanbury

Celebration: Ryan Giggs with son Zach at Old Trafford after he collected his 12 Premier League winners medal for Manchester United

Why? Well, while the rest of us may think of Ryan Giggs in terms of his public image – as a successful footballer who has been impeccably loyal to Manchester United and so on – it seems that his wife might have long suspected that there is another, darker side to him. Indeed the Imogen Thomas brouhaha is by no means the first time that she has had cause to believe her husband has not been faithful.

Take the start of their romance in 2001. While dating Stacey, a local girl, Giggs was also unable to resist a reportedly simultaneous fling with pillow-lipped It-girl Caroline Stanbury, a blonde who reduced men including Prince Andrew to jelly. Then Stacey became pregnant, and Caroline was history.

Perhaps Giggs’s ability to attract and discard women so rapidly should have rung alarm bells for Stacey, a determined cool-headed individual who likes her leather soft and her heels high.

Charismatic Giggs had – in those years – forged a reputation in the bars and clubs of Manchester as a young man who could score as fluidly off the pitch as on it.

One patch of the city – off Peter Street – became known as Giggsy’s Corner in honour of the rumours that this was where he liked to bring girls when they were courting. He started his career as a lothario with an intense spell squiring singer Dani Behr, then at the peak of her fame.

But Dani dumped him for fellow footballer Les Ferdinand, and Giggs consoled himself with models, strippers and an air hostess. One of them claimed in the papers that he was a four-times-a-night lover.

Some of his flings were well known – such as model Rachel Hunter whom he seduced after meeting in 2001 at a sports awards. Actress Patsy Kensit also bulldozed him with chemistry at a film premiere in 1995. He didn’t seem to put up much resistance.

His early years with Stacey were complicated, with Giggs embroiled in a complicated partner swap with Dave Gardner, his one-time best friend. Gardner was, you see, at one point Stacey’s fiancé.

But Stacey and Giggs fell for each other, and Gardner was apparently left seriously disgruntled. For Giggs had also dated Gardner’s younger sister, Emma, and she had miscarried the baby they were expecting in 1998.

The view in Manchester was that Emma should become Mrs Ryan Giggs, and some were astonished when Stacey entered the frame – pregnant in 2002.

Their daughter Liberty was born later that year – seven weeks premature and weighing only 3lb. Giggs was said to be so bowled over by the emotions of fatherhood that he proposed marriage to her in the delivery room.

But Stacey seems to have struggled quite seriously to get him to commit – possibly a legacy of his own unhappy upbringing with an absent father.

The wedding, pencilled in for spring 2004, was cancelled.

And the talk of other women was never far away. But, like so many other WAGs, Stacey Cooke learned to live with her suspicions.

It must have been a struggle. She even went so far as to kick him out in 2005 – he was sent to live with his mother after an indiscretion reached her ears. He was seen driving to their home to pick up their daughter and spend time with her, and Stacey confirmed that he had indeed moved out of the house.

‘He denied any wrongdoing but she does not believe it,’ a friend said at the time. ‘She is not sure if a leopard can change its spots.’

Ryan Giggs has earned a reputation as a womaniser, so his fling with Imogen Thomas, pictured yesterday, left, will come as no surprise to some. Wife Stacey Cooke, right, even once kicked him out over an alleged fling

Despite this, however, she went on to take him back, have another child with him and marry him in a curiously unromantic ceremony at the Lowry Hotel in 2007.

Giggs seemed almost embarrassed to be tying the knot at the time – there were a grand total of nine guests.

He said in an interview at the time: ‘I have Liberty and Zach now so I am probably as content with life as I have ever been.’

Giggs’s dour public image of recent years masked a continuing appetite for partying – but only in trusted company.

‘Only last weekend when United won the title and Man City won the FA Cup, he was in the Living Room bar with the other players, standing on a table and singing, “There’s only one team in Manchester”,’ said a source.

Medal of honour: Ryan Giggs was given an OBE - Officer of the Order of the British Empire - in 2007

‘He’s still very much the social leader, always the life and soul of the party. He just makes sure he does it behind closed doors now.’

Giggs’s agent Harry Swales remains amazed by talk of infidelity, saying: ‘I can’t believe it, he’s such a family man.’

The footballer has certainly tried very hard to keep it secret – and he could argue that this has been done to spare his family pain. His children are still young – Liberty is eight and Zach just four.

While there might be a melancholy atmosphere behind doors at their mansion in Worsley, which features a glass tower and an indoor pool, complete with a Welsh Dragon design on the tiles, perhaps it’s not the end for Ryan and Stacey.

One associate of the couple said last night: ‘He still promises that the story is false, and she loves him.’

'I missed my favourite meal': David Beckham tucks into pie and mash as soon as he jets into London.. but his boys like U.S. food

By Daily Mail Reporter

Much missed dish: David Beckham enjoyed a meal of pie and mash when he landed in London earlier today. He posted a picture to his Facebook page

His boys have adapted well to their lives Stateside and appear to like nothing more than tucking into local foods.

But while David Beckham might love his life out in sunny L.A. when he is back home he likes nothing more than tucking into traditional British fare.

The footballer arrived in London this morning and wasted no time sourcing his most-desired local dish.

David posted a picture of himself enjoying the comfort food and said: 'Landed back in London this morning. Missed my favourite meal, so headed straight for some pie and mash. Heading upto Manchester tomorrow, can't wait.'

While Beckham might miss British food it seems that his boys have developed a taste for American food and were seen enjoying three different dishes earlier this week.

Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz were all seen tucking into some tasty treats which are virtually staples at American football games as they watched their dad play for LA Galaxy.

While Brooklyn, 12, appeared to be enjoying a slice of cheesy pizza, Romeo, eight, wolfed down some blue candy floss, and six-year-old Cruz seemed to like his hot dog.

The group were with a minder as they watched Beckham take to the pitch as LA Glazy took on Chivas USA in Carson, California.

Absent from the group was mother Victoria, who is currently in London working on her fashion range.

It was revealed earlier this month that Victoria, who is seven months pregnant with her and David's fourth child, has apparently booked in a Caesarean section on July 4th.

A spokesperson for Victoria told MailOnline: 'It is no secret that Victoria will be having her baby in the U.S. - we will not be confirming the date although early July is correct.'

But the spokesperson denied reports David and Victoria were considering calling their little girl Atlanta, adding: 'David and Victoria have a shortlist of names and once they have met their daughter then they will decide - Atlanta is not on that shortlist!'

Victoria is said to have preliminarily booked her C-section at a London hospital, but instead opted for Los Angeles as the place of birth.

Meanwhile, as Victoria keeps busy with her fashion range during her last few weeks of pregnancy, David has also got some new fashion plans himself.

The 36-year-old sportsman has announced his plans to launch his own male underwear range.

David fronted the Emporio Armani underwear campaign in 2007, appearing on giant billboards and magazine spreads, which resulted in a doubling of profits for the Italian company in one year, from around £14.1 million to £38.7 million.

In action: The boys were watching their father David play for LA Galaxy

His Armani experience gave him insight into the fashion industry and he soon spotted a gap in the market for well-cut T-shirts and fitted boxer shorts.

He said: 'I have had the idea of doing a bodywear collection for some time now.

'The push to do something of my own really came as a result of my collaboration with Armani.

'It proved to me that there is a real market for good-looking, well-made men's bodywear.'

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt take the children to the cinema... and mummy's the star as they watch Kung Fu Panda 2

By Daily Mail Reporter

Mummy's touch: Angelina Jolie held onto Maddox and Shiloh's hands as they crossed the road and left the Kung Fu Panda 2 premiere

Like any other family the Jolie-Pitts sometimes fancy a trip to the cinema on a Sunday afternoon.

But unlike other families the brood got to see their mother in the starring role, as they attended the premiere of King Fu Panda 2 in Los Angeles yesterday.

After Angelina Jolie had fulfilled her obligations posing on the red carpet, she gathered her oldest four children together and headed into the cinema to watch the screening.

With Brad Pitt taking Pax and Zahara by the hands, and Angelina taking Maddox and Shiloh, who was dressed in a miniature suit, it was a truly family day out.

Road safety: Doting father Brad Pitt holds the hands of Pax and Zahara

Last week, she admitted her brood prefer Jack Black's character to her own.

'My kids like Po played by Jack Black much better than they like me as Tigress,' she told the Chicago Sun-Times.

'I guess Po is the Dragon Warrior, so it’s only natural. Meanwhile, I’m saying, "Look at what I can do." And they’re like, "Great, but where’s Po?’”

Perfect pins: Angelina gives fans a glimpse of her perfect pins at Grauman's Chinese Theatre

Earlier it had been a different story as Angelina made her grand arrival.

All eyes were on her enviably slim legs today as she arrived at the Hollywood premiere in a black top and slinky skirt slashed to the thigh.

With her hair in a loose ponytail, a pair of black heels and minimal makeup, the star looked sophisticated as she signed autographs and waved to fans.

All smiles: Angelina shares a giggle with Brad as they are accosted with a giant panda on the red carpet

At one point the 35-year-old star shared a giggle with Brad as they were accosted by a giant panda on the carpet.

But despite his partner's glamorous ensemble, Brad looked rather dowdy in comparison, arriving in a granddad style matching tan polo shirt, trousers and shoes.

The actor had received some good news, with his movie The Tree of Life winning the prestigious Palm d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, despite dividing the critics.

Thigh skimming: Angelina showed off her enviably svelte figure in a thigh skimming skirt and slinky black top

Contrast: In comparison to his glamorous girlfriend, Brad Pitt looked a little more dowdy in his all-tan outfit

Angelina was last week supporting the actor at the film's premiere in Cannes - the film is directed by Terence Malick and co-stars Sean Penn.

But she was concentrating on her newest project today - reprising her animated role of martial arts expert Tigress in the film, which co-stars Jack Black as clumsy bear Po.

Jack Black also attended the premiere where he was his usual enthusiastic self, playing up to the cameras and posing with the giant panda.

The actor also looked distinctly low key in a long black jacket, black T-shirt, jeans and trainers, at one point taking a flying leap down the red carpet, which ran alongside Hollywood Boulevard.

He joined co-stars Lucy Liu and Seth Rogen at the star-studded event, with Seth also opting for a low key look, sporting striped sweater and jeans.

Lucy, who reprises her role of Viper in the film, looked stunning in a white frilled minidress and black sash.

Cheryl's curves: How American way of life is giving Miss Cole a fuller figure

By SIMON CABLE

Healthy: Miss Cole looks tanned and curvier but she has already lined up a punishing fitness schedule with Gwyneth Paltrow's trainer to lose weight

Her weight plummeted to around six stone following her battle with malaria last year.

But it seems that the American way of life has helped Cheryl Cole get her curves back.

The 27-year-old singer looked healthy and fuller-figured as she arrived at the airport in Chicago on Saturday after filming the latest round of auditions for the U.S. version of X Factor.

In 2010: Miss Cole was much thinner last summer, performing at Wembley Stadium in June 2010

She showed off her tanned legs in navy shorts, which she teamed with a white vest, patterned blazer, flat cap and sunglasses.

But there are signs Miss Cole's newfound curves may not stick around for long, as she has already embarked on an exhaustive fitness regime with the help of Gwyneth Paltrow's personal trainer.

TV bosses are said to be keen for a style consultant to create a new image for Miss Cole and help make her a U.S. household name.

As part of their plan to transform her, they have sent her to personal trainer Tracy Anderson, whose A-list clients have also included Madonna and Jennifer Aniston.

Success: Paula Abdul has been applauded for her outfit choices on the programme so far and Miss Cole could use a stylist to ensure she isn't outshone

But Miss Cole may also need some help in the fashion stakes after being criticised for her choice of outfits on the show so far, while fellow judge Paula Abdul, 48, has won plaudits.

Although the Girls Aloud star has secured a £1.2million-a-year contract to appear on the U.S. X Factor panel, producers have included a get-out clause so they can drop her after the first series if she fails to win over viewers.

There have already been concerns that her Geordie accent could prove baffling to an American audience.

The Only Way Is Essex beats Downton Abbey and Sherlock to take home the YouTube Audience prize at the BAFTA Television Awards

By SARAH BULL and GEORGINA LITTLEJOHN

Thrilled: The Only Way Is Essex cast and crew couldn't believe it when they won the YouTube Audience Award at the BAFTA Television Awards

The Only Way Is Essex took home the YouTube Audience prize at the BAFTA Television Awards tonight.

The hit ITV2 programme beat shows Downton Abbey, Sherlock, Miranda, Big Fat Gypsy Weddings and The Killing to receive the prestigious prize, the only award in the evening which is voted for by the public.

Taking to the stage to accept the BAFTA, stars Sam Faiers and Amy Childs were literally jumping up and down and screaming with glee, while Mark Wright said: 'We're absolutely overwhelmed to be here tonight, even to be nominated. But to win, it's incredible.'

And Amy wanted to have her own input, leaning over to the microphone and saying her catchphrase 'Shut up!' into the microphone.

Screams all round: The group take to the stage to accept their award

After winning the prize, Joey Essex told MailOnline: 'It's reem!'
While Mark elaborated: 'I'm in shock. There's no way I thought we were giong to win.

And when they called our names out, and all the screaming... I'm still in shock.'

Amy added: 'I couldn't believe it when they called our names out. I just hope I didn't trip over my dress! Did you see me and Sam jumping up and down on stage?'

Victory! Sam, Amy, Lauren and Lydia pose with their award

Other awards during the ceremony tonight included the best drama series prize, which was presented to BBC1's Sherlock.

The hit series beat shows such as ITV1's Downton Abbey, as well as BBC3's Being Human and E4's Misfits.

Sherlock - based on Conan Doyle's timeless stories - was launched last summer and became a huge hit, despite running to only three episodes although new shows are now in production.

Writer and co-creator of the modern day adaptation of the detective shows Mark Gatiss said: 'It's a huge honour and a fantastic surprise. Thank you so much - it's a huge thrill.'

Big Fat disappointment: Big Fat Gypsy Weddings stars Paddy Doherty and wife Roseanne Doherty must have been disappointed to miss out to TOWIE

The New Media prize went to Wallace And Gromit's World Of Adventure, beating online spin-offs and apps for the BBC's Brain Test Britain, the Thick Of It and Misfits.

Another early winner at the awards bash at London's Grosvenor House was the BBC1 film Between Life And Death which was named best single documentary.

Presenter Graham Norton raised a chuckle as he lined up the International TV Show award when he cracked a gag about Geordie Cheryl Cole's recent recruitment for the US version of the X Factor.

Stunned: Misfits star Lauren Socha took home the best supporting actress prize at the awards ceremony

'Just because a programme has subtitles doesn't mean it can't be successful - just look at Cheryl Cole on American X Factor.'

The prize went to epic Danish crime drama The Killing. Norton joked: 'Thank you Denmark - first bacon, now The Killing.'

Gatiss and Steven Moffat first had the idea for Sherlock after a conversation on a train about their love for the Victorian detective but did not take it any further. Moffat said the credit for getting it off the ground should go to his wife.

Delighted: David Attenborough won the specialist factual award for Flying Monsters 3D

Speaking backstage, he said: 'For two-and-a-half-years we just talked about it and I casually mentioned it to my wife, Sue, who is a producer and she leapt at it so we would still be on the train.'

Benedit Cumberbatch, who plays the master sleuth, said he was proud to be in the 'very, very good company' of his fellow nominees.

He said: 'I'm a big Misfits fan so I thought they were in with a shot.'

Moffat also confirmed there could be more series of Sherlock to come, saying: 'Of course it's got legs. It is 100 years old and still a hit.'
