Catapulted to style stardom as a result of her sister's wedding, Pippa Middleton's clothing choices are almost as influential as her sister's. The day after the wedding, the little sis stepped out with a gray leather Modalu bag that sold out almost instantly. And we're sure she's done wonders for High Street brands such as Zara.

But earlier this month, Jezebel pointed out that Pippa committed "the ultimate pantyhose sin" while she was spotted wearing nude tights in Paris, "no less."

And somehow, the skin-toned hosiery trend is catching on! The Telegraph reports that sales of nude tights has "risen by up to 85 percent in the past year."

The shocking increase has been attributed to a hesitancy to jump from opaques in the winter months to bare legs in the spring, as nude stockings offer an in-between of sorts. A second, more health-conscious reason for the once-taboo (possibly still taboo) trend: "[It] may also be driven in part by fears over sun exposure. Malignant melanoma is Britain's second most common cancer in 15 to 34-year-olds."

Will you follow Pippa's lead and wear nude hosiery on cooler summer nights, or have you sworn off the flesh-toned tights?

Alyssa Campanella, 21, is dating "Tudors" actor Torrance Coombs, 28, UsMagazine.com reports.
And Coombs appeared to be super-psyched about Campanella's participation in the pageant and her subsequent win, Tweeting Sunday night, "Ridiculously proud of @AlyssCampanella, aka Miss CA USA," and, "Pardon my french, but HOLY F*CK! SHE WON! Congrats to @AlyssCampanella, Miss USA 2011. I am a puddle." No, we are a puddle! Honestly, that is kind of adorable.
Campanella, for her part, has been posting pictures of herself and Coombs. She also hinted at her relationship during the pageant itself, telling host Giuliana Rancic, "I'm obsessed with the Stuart and Tudor era. Whenever I go to Barnes & Noble I'm always in the history section and that is where you will find me," adding, "I watch 'Game of Thrones,' I watched 'Camelot' -- I know those are fantasy but I also watch the Tudors, so I'm a huge history geek."

The pregnancy came as a shock to them both, especially as they had split up just a couple of months before.
But if these pictures are anything to go by, it looks as though Jack Wilshere and Lauren Neal are very much a couple again.
The Arsenal star, 19, and Miss Neal, 22, were snapped kissing and being very affectionate towards each other as they enjoyed a holiday on the Italian island of Sardinia yesterday.
They snuggled up on their sunloungers on the beach as Wilshere lovingly stroked her burgeoning bump.
And they hugged and kissed at the water's edge as they dipped their feet to cool off from the hot sun.
And pregnancy is suiting Lauren very well and she looked radiant in her shiny coral bikini.

The reunited couple are making the most of their time together before the start of the next football season in August and before their first child is born later this summer.
Wilshere found out in April that Lauren was pregnant, even though they had ended their three-year relationship a few months before.
The midfielder, who is emerging as England's hottest young star, was reported to be 'shocked but delighted' by the news.

Kristin Cavallari, who recently said that she was ‘really fat’ during The Hills (Heidi Montag said something similar just yesterday) revealed how she’s getting fitter for her wedding:

 ”I’ll probably keep up my regular gym routine for the coming months … until spring. And then probably two months before [the wedding] I’ll go at it harder,” says the former Hills star, 24.
“If I eat really healthy, then I’ll probably cut out alcohol for a month or two before my wedding. My fiance makes me comfortable. I’ve dated other guys, and I’ve felt like I’m not skinny enough. But with Jay, I’ve always felt really comfortable in my skin.”
… says Kristin.

Did you experience something similar with Kristin? Feeling that you ‘are not skinny enough’ for the guys you date?

He's known for his tactile manner but Russell Brand will raise more than a few eyebrows with these shots of him holding a pretty girl's hand.
The reformed lothario, 36 , is on set in Miami where he's filming new movie Rock of Ages, and the fair haired maiden is clearly a crew member.
Russell is given to such displays of warm affectionate towards people that such tender gestures largely go unnoticed.

But the fact that the pair of them were holding in hands today in a manner normally reserved for romantic couples is striking.
It comes hot on the heels of news that Brand's wife of eight months, pop sensation Katy Perry, is extending her tour well into November.
A source told the Mail: 'Katy has only four days off until the end of September, when she’s in Brazil.’

She may have only been dating Mel Gibson for less than a month.
But 25-year-old fetish model Stella Mouzi has already made a name for herself in the fetish and bondage modelling world.
The attractive brunette has appeared in a slew of risqué and provocative photos taken at fetish clubs in her native Greece.
Wearing a low cut sleeveless black body suit and fishnet stockings, Stella posed in one picture seductively pulling on suspender straps wrapped round her neck.In several others she poses with other scantily clad girls all wearing little more than a string bikini.
Her natural dark appearance was accentuated with steaks in her hair and bright red lipstick.

SELENA Gomez is getting jealous! Sources say the teen star becoming increasingly envious of boyfriend Justin Bieber and his relationship with his female fans.
“Selena has become more and more insecure because of the way Justin is with his fans,” says one source.
“Justin is a real flirt and loves the attention. While he tells Selena there’s nothing in it, she can’t help but feel upset about it and she told him so.”
Meanwhile, Gomez has confessed she never wanted to be a role model.
“I never really said I want to be a role model. But then when it happened I was so down for it,” she said.
“I’m human, I’m not perfect. I make mistakes all the time, but I guess my job is to keep those mistakes to myself, which I’m already fine doing and just try to be the best I can be for those kids.”

JENNIFER Lopez admits her marriage takes a lot of “hard work” — but insists it’s worth it.

The Jenny From The Block hitmaker – who raises twins Max and Emme with husband Marc Anthony — says despite making her relationship look easy, it still takes a lot of effort, time and energy.

“Just like anything in life you have to put the time in and that is what we do. We give time to each other and to our babies,” she said.

“We have so much love between us but like anything in life you have to put hard work in to a marriage if you want it to work. But it’s definitely worth it.”

Lopez has previously admitted there’s “conflict” in her marriage.

“People seem to think that when there’s conflict in a relationship it’s always a bad thing, but I think you need a challenge,” she said in April this year. READ MORE
