Valentino’s Chateau in Paris
It seems the Italian designer is not just a dab hand at designing clothes. Wonder if Kimye considered getting married here?

Julianne Moore’s New York City garden
Just because your garden is small, doesn’t mean it can’t be impressive. Julianne even managed to squeeze in a basketball net.

Today’s Best Dressed star is birthday girl Rihanna.

Rihanna knows how to mix up her look and is often spotted in some of the most stunning outfits you have ever seen…swiftly followed by some of the worst.

However, when she gets it right, she really gets it right, so we picked our favourite looks here – what do you think?

Her red carpet looks are always quite classic, these black and red dresses portray old Hollywood glamour and class with a touch of Rihanna’s cheeky style.

Her second outfit is very retro, the headscarf is a perfect touch and we love the polka dot sandals. Doesn’t she look like Beyoncé’s double in this photo?

This monochrome outfit is elegant and still quite sexy, the baggy shirt looks great with the tight black pencil skirt; it’s all about balance!

Sunshine is the best way to get Vitamin D but unfortunately the sun rarely shines on our lovely green isle.

However, while the sun plays hide and seek with us, there are plenty of other ways to stock up on this essential vitamin.

Eat fish
Stock your cupboards with tins of salmon and tuna. You don’t have to eat them every day but try to have a fish dinner maybe once or twice a week

Have a few mushrooms
Portobello and shiitake mushrooms are a great source of vitamin D and are really nice in a stew or risotto.

Cod liver oil
It’s true – things that are good for you are normally not particularly nice. However, use this sparingly as it contains high levels of vitamin A that is not good for you.

Have cereal for your breakfast
Most cereals are fortified with vitamins, including vitamin D, and you can even increase your intake by using a milk that is fortified with it too.

We can’t lie, we’re still devastated over this celebrity split.

It would seem Lamar Odom is holding out hope of getting his girl back.

Lamar is going through a messy split from Khloe Kardashian that seems to be ongoing judging by recent episodes of Keeping up with the Kardashians.

Khloe  filed for divorce from the basketball star but it seems Lamar isn’t giving up that easy and was spotted wearing his wedding ring in LAX before flying out to Spain where he is joining a professional basketball team.

Perhaps he thinks the time apart can heal their marriage and wants her to know it.

We love the sound of this new TV show, Gotham.

Set to be a prequel to the Batman days it will star Ben McKenzie (Ryan from The O.C.) and Jada Pinkett Smith as Fishy Mooney.

The young Bruce Wayne is yet to be announced but we hope it’s someone good. We even have a few suggestions if they’d listen…

Jada is set to star as a gangster boss who is described as “imposing, hotheaded and notoriously sadistic”. We can’t wait!

There should definitely be more roles like this for women. We think Jada is going to kill it.

If you want your bum to look nice in jeans, you don’t really need to have a lot of junk in your trunk. Anyone with a bit of know-how can find a pair that will make their bum look fabulous!

Here are a few tips to make your bum look SHEmazing!

Choose skinny jeans over flares
Flared jeans overpower the frame of your body and make your bum look smaller than it is.

Always go for low-rise jeans
If the rise on your jeans is too high it will only make your bum look longer, flatter and not so sexy.

Pockets, pockets, pockets
This is key (especially if you don’t have much of a backside). Jeans with back pockets help pump up your behind. In fact, the higher the pockets, the better.

Avoid dark colors
Dark colors don’t show the definition of your body, so for a sexier bum, choose lighter colored jeans.

Know your size
Don’t get one size too small or one size too big. With jeans, the perfect fit is the best fit.

This is awful!

Sarah Hyland, who plays Hayley Dunphy in Modern Family left a party in Sydney early after being inappropriately touched by a fan.

The party was being held in Sydney as that is where the cast are filming at the moment and the incident happened as Sarah posed outside for fans and signed autographs.

A man is said to have grabbed the actress’ breast after asking for a photo to which Sarah screamed: “Don’t touch me there!” and pointing angrily at the fan before her security intervened.

The poor girl is then said to have left early and very upset. She took to her Twitter account to voice her anger at the incident and apologise to her fans for leaving early, which we are sure they understood!

What a horrible thing to happen to a woman especially as all eyes and cameras are on her.

Not that he needs reminding, but poor Leonardo Di Caprio has been up for five Academy Awards but has never won an Oscar.

However, the Wolf of Wall Street star still manages to have a laugh about it. While he was attending the Academy Award’s annual luncheon for nominees (annual luncheon, excuse me), The Great Gatsby actor took out a small white card for a journalist, pointed at a part that said ‘five nominations, zero wins’ and said “Zip!”.

He added: “It’s quite interesting. People think I feel I’m overdue for something. Anyone wants to be accepted by their peers, but the truth is every year is unique and everyone is just going to vote for who they think is worthy.”

The actor, who is up against Christian Bale, Bruce Dern, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Matthew McConaughey this year, went on to say: “I’ve had the same mentality ever since I got my first movie. I got my foot in this door and I am going to continue to jam it in there.”

Aw, poor Leo – fingers crossed for this year.

Did you know that a wrinkle takes 15 years to manifest itself? That means, those tiny crow’s feet you get a 40 begin to develop at the age of……we’re pretty sure you can do the maths here. Scary isn’t it?

Luckily, there are a few things you can do to delay this inevitable skin problem.

Eat good fats

It’s not obvious, but eating healthy fats is probably one of the best ways to keep your skin wrinkle-free. Good fats are needed to produce collagen, the protein responsible for keeping your skin plump.

Don’t be fooled by big brands

Rather than spending an arm and a leg on one beauty product alone, spend a reasonable price on natural products with multiple uses. For instance, coconut oil makes for a good eye make-up remover and body lotion.

Manage stress levels

Easier said than done – we know! But stress actually breaks down the production of collagen in the skin. So before you drive yourself to have a nervous breakdown, just relax with some friends – let your hair down.

The new trailer for Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill’s upcoming movie, 22 Jump Street, is outand it looks as though the movie itself will be hilarious.

There was one part of the trailer we weren’t too impressed with however, and that was the Chris Brown and Rihanna joke.

While we love a good laugh, we can’t help but feel a joke about something so serious is a bit tasteless. Did they take it too far?

Have a look at the trailer above and decide for yourself!
