She usually exudes something of a superwoman persona - pinging back into shape mere weeks after giving birth, and preaching the virtues of her organic lifestyle. But model mother Miranda Kerr has revealed for the first time that her natural birth with baby Flynn was far more difficult than she first let on. In a new interview, Miranda reveals: 'I actually thought I was going to die at one point and left my body.' Speaking to Australian InStyle magazine, the 28-year-old says: 'I was looking...

She might have been unfairly described by one of her cast mates as nothing more than an 'extra'. But there are not many walk-on parts that lead to your very own calendar, as Maria Fowler has proved. And if these sexy pictures are anything to go by, The Only Way Is Essex star is set to get pulses racing every month next year, making her a household name in more ways than one. Maria, 24, is seen in a number of poses - and two pieces - as she posed for the camera on the shoot, which took place in...

The Only Way Is Essex star Billie Faiers certainly caused a commotion yesterday as she went shopping for a new car. The 21-year-old star donned an incredibly low-cut jumpsuit as she popped to her local Audi garage to check out the latest models. Perhaps hoping for a discount, Billie seemed oblivious to the stares her outfit was attracting as she tested out vehicles including a £34,995 soft-top. And the reality TV star looked delighted with her potential purchase as she sat in the vehicle and...

Just one year after giving birth to her first child, Mission Impossible 4 actress Paula Patton has slipped back into a string bikini. The Los Angeles native was joined by her husband, R&B singer Robin Thicke, today as she strutted around the beach in Miami, Florida. Wearing a tiny brown string bikini and Chanel sunglasses, Paula, 35, showed off her curves as she frolicked in the water. Later, the svelte star drew looks of admiration as she took a break from working on her tan and relaxed...

When friends told me about Britain’s first naturist spa hotel in Birmingham — Clover Spa, which opened in March — I couldn’t help but giggle as they expressed their horror at the very idea of holidaying naked. They pondered the discomfort of sunburned bits and shuddered at the thought of baring all for the world to see. Little did they know that I’d already been to a naturist spa, and loved it. I have always been insecure about my body. In fact, for the first year of our relationship,...

With her ultra curvy figure, tiny green bikini, and long blonde hair, former Playboy model Shauna Sand certainly made an impression as she hit the Miami beach today. The 39-year-old model showed off her somewhat striking figure in the itsy bitsy two piece, which left little to the imagination. The former Playmate splashed around in the surf, at one point even running into the sea, revealing an ultra toned figure. The green bikini also showed off the model's deep tan to optimum effect. But there...

She tells her children to do as she says and not as she does. But the words of mother of 14 Joanne Watson – who receives more than £2,000 a month in state handouts – have fallen on deaf ears. Her 15-year-old daughter Mariah is pregnant, the father has ‘left the scene’, and the youngster is about to start living off benefits. Mrs Watson, 40, is raising her giant brood alone after parting from her husband John, 46, three years ago, and breaking up with subsequent partner Craig le Sauvage,...

Officials say the death toll from a train derailment in northern India has risen to 60 as more bodies are being pulled out of the mangled coaches.

Col. Amarjit Dhillon told the Associated Press on Monday that many more bodies were trapped under the twisted coaches and soldiers were using...

The head of the U.N. refugee agency said Sunday that drought-ridden Somalia is the "worst humanitarian disaster" in the world after meeting with refugees who endured unspeakable hardship to reach the world's largest refugee camp. The Kenyan camp, Dadaab, is overflowing with tens of thousands of newly arrived refugees forced into the camp by the parched landscape in the region where Somalia, Ethiopia and Kenya meet. The World Food Program estimates that 10 million people already need humanitarian...

Hey, remember how in Funny People Adam Sandler's character starred in a bunch of bad big-budget movies? Well, Sandler's dual-role comedy Jack and Jill, in which he plays a man and his own sister, totally seems like it could be one of those fake films. Except it's real, and it's less than spectacular. The trailer is full of lazy jokes and cliches — but before you watch, check out the four things that I've pinpointed as the most offensive elements. Katie Holmes is in this. I appreciate Holmes...
