  • Pregnant and proud: Jessica Alba drapes her curves in a summer dress as she says it's better to show a baby bump than hide it

    She said earlier this month that she feels much happier showing off her baby bump than trying to hide it.
    And Jessica Alba did just that as she stepped out with adorable three-year-old daughter Honor wearing a cute blush-coloured summer dress with a peach cardigan.
    The 30-year-old actress took Honor to pick up some baby supplies at Bel Bambini in Beverly Hills before the arrival of the new addition to her family later this summer.
    In a recent interview with Latina magazine, Spy Kids 4 actress Jessica said she had embraced the changes pregnancy has made to her body, and is proud of her new figure.
    She said: 'If you are sporting a pregnant belly, it's better to show it than to hide it.
    'The more figure-forming your clothes, even though you have more curves, the better.

    The Only Way is gusty for Lydia Bright who struggles to control her dress as the TOWIE gang helicopter in for the Duke of Essex Polo Trophy

    If you're going to be arriving for a social event by helicopter then you have to make sure that there will be no wardrobe mishaps on arrival.
    Something which Lydia Bright clearly didn't take into account when she got out of a helicopter that had flown her to a VIP event in her native county today.
    The Only Way Is Essex star was snapped struggling with her dress as she climbed out of a helicopter to join the rest of the cast at the Duke of Essex Polo Trophy in Gaynes Park, Epping.
    Caught in the breeze from the aircraft's blades, Lydia unwittingly flashed her black sparkly pants as she started to walk across the lawn.
    Realising what was happening, she grabbed her white dress and tried to pull it down before she cleared her windy path and laughed in embarrassment as she finally managed to smooth her frock down.
    And she took to her Twitter page to post a picture of her with her co-stars and said: 'Me & the gals fab so far. Apart from the slight incident when my dress flew up from helicopter!'
    Lydia was one of several members of the TOWIE cast attending what they consider the highlight of their summer social calendar.
    Now fully bonafide VIPs since the huge success of their reality TV show, the gang were brought to this year's event by helicopter, giving them the full five-star treatment.
    The gang never miss the event and it was where Lydia met James 'Arg' Argent a few years ago.
    Peter was this year's guest of honour and opened the match by throwing a ball at the start of the game.
    And Alex arrived with new girlfriend Chantelle Houghton who looked very pretty in a maxi dress with an unusual green, white and black print - although she had to call on Alex to help untangle her when she caught her heel on the hem.

    Katy Perry Insists New Smurfs Flick is Family-Friendly

    KATY Perry insists there will be none of her usual risqué antics on show when she takes to the big screen as a Smurf.

    The sexy singer — who’s married to British comedian Russell Brand — provides the voice of Smurfette in this summer’s Smurf movie but she insists her performance and animated alter ego, unlike her music videos, will be completely family friendly.

    “It’s a great film that all ages can enjoy,” says Katy.

    “There’s no sneaky innuendo’s or sort of taboo things. It’s a positive story, it has a sweet side, there’s a great message. It’s just one of those ‘you can’t go wrong’ type of films. It’s very family orientated.”

    Perry recently spoke of her love of the Smurfs.

    “I love the Smurfs,” she said.

    “They’re so cute. I want all the t-shirts and toys even now. In fact I should be getting them free with me being Smurfette. I can start a whole collection.”

    Emma Stone Has Girl Crush on Christina Hendricks

    EMMA Stone fancies Christina Hendricks!

    The actress — who’s currently dating her Spider-Man leading man Andrew Garfield — revealed has a crush on the Mad Men star in an interview with America’s Advocate magazine.

    “Christina Hendricks,” said Stone.

    “It’s a no-brainer. Everything about her does it for me. That’s my kind of woman.”

    Emma recently admitted she used to suffer from panic attacks.

    “I was in therapy. From 8 to 10, I was borderline agoraphobic,” she said.

    “I could not leave my mom’s side. I don’t really have panic attacks anymore, but I had really bad anxiety. There was a lot of fear, but [coming to Hollywood] was also very exciting.”

    CELEBRITIES are making a splash in seriously showy swimwear this summer.

    A regular old two-piece just doesn't wash any more as reality stars and WAGs vie to be queen of the wahey-ves.
    These days their cossies and mono-kinis are covered in flowers, ruffles, hoops and straps or piled up with more extras than a branch of Accessorize.
    All hail the rise of the blingkini - a totally impractical but fabulous way to wear your swimwear.
    Rihanna and Lady GaGa started the craze, stepping out on stage in daring two-pieces designed to cause a stir.

    And now the TOWIE girls are getting their swimwear custom-made by blonde Chelce Hall.
    The 20-year-old Essex girl was working behind a bar in Marbella when she started designing her own swimwear.
    Today she works full time at home with her mum and dad in Chigwell to create made-to-measure pieces, and is branching out into evening wear with her new company By Chelce Designs.
    Every bikini is made to measure - usually after a personal consultation - and can take up to four weeks.
    Prices start at £65 and go up to more than £200, depending on the level of detail.
    Chelce says: "I like being different. I've never wanted to look the same as anyone else.
    "I started designing my own bikinis to stand out and soon people were commenting on them and asking me to make pieces for them.
    "I've been friends with Lydia Bright for years and she was the first of the TOWIE girls to wear one of my designs.
    "After she wore the 'Valentine' bikini, I had hundreds of enquiries - now there's a waiting list.
    "Another favourite is the sunflower bikini that Chloe wore at the pool party.
    "Flowers are definitely a big trend for the summer.

    "But the whole point of my swimwear is that it's different from anything else around, so once I've finished those orders I'll start on totally different designs to keep things interesting and individual.
    "I know not everyone gets my designs. Some people would feel really silly in them and think they are OTT. They are meant to be fun but also stylish.
    "Anyone can follow fashion but not everyone has style. It takes a certain type of person to carry off the more out-there looks.
    "Today, people are dressing up for the day as well as the evening. Your poolside look is just as important as your going out look."
    Here, we pick our favourite totally overboard poolside outfits plus show you how to pimp your bikini.

    Steamy scenes are no big deal: Sulagna Panigrahi

    Rubbishing rumours of her playing the bad girl in Murder 2, Sulagna Panigrahi, a name that burst into B-town out of nowhere and became part of the sudden wave of promotional rants and raves for the new film, Murder 2, talks about the fun and frolic she was part of on the
    sets of the movie. And fun, according to this petite actress, is about crawling into a tunnel full of rats, running around in some remote location and many more such scary escapades.  “I play a 16-year-old innocent girl who’s fighting for her life. Mohit Suri (the director of Murder 2) showed me this horrid tunnel where I was supposed to shoot a scene among rats and asked if I was scared of them. Of course I wasn’t, but the rats were so tiny and cute that by the end of the shot, the whole unit was concerned if they were hurt; no one was really bothered about me,” she laughs.
    Sulagna came into the spotlight after she did a television show on conjoined twins called Ambar Dhara. So how did the entry onto the big screen happen? “My producer Rajan Shahi fixed a meeting with someone at Vishesh Films. After that I met Mohit. His first reaction after seeing me was that I fit the role. I was at their office, sitting with Mukesh sir (Bhatt) and wondering if all this was a dream,” she gushes. Steamy scenes, skimpy clothes, sexy love-making…the Murder franchise is incomplete without all the sensuality. So were there any inhibitions before taking on this role? “When I got to know that the auditions are for Murder 2, I was pretty skeptical. Thankfully, I don’t have any such scenes in the movie. But nowadays steamy scenes are no big deal,” Sulagna says, contradicting herself.
    Her recent photo, where she’s biting a chilly and showing off her toned midriff, has been doing the rounds of several publications lately. What went into creating such an interesting pose, a mix of an innocent face and a sensual aura? “I made sure I didn’t bite the chilly too hard, or else the picture would have turned out to be something else,” she jokes.
    A recent role that fascinated Sulagna was Vir Das’ character in Delhi Belly. “I would love to have taken his place and sung Ja Chudail in the movie,” she says. And who is the one actor she would love to share screen-space with some day? “Aamir, Hrithik and Ranbir. I know I am supposed to name one, but it’s good to have options no?”
    And how is working in TV different from films? “In TV, before you finish your makeup, there’s someone knocking at your door and calling you for the shot. Whereas in films, it’s much calmer; they just let you be and don’t pressurise you. In TV, if you ask a director for a retake, he will tell you that the tapes have already gone for telecast. So that’s the main difference. TV literally keeps you on your toes…phew!” she ends on a weary note.
