Hooded Beyonce tries to go incognito days after dumping father as her manager

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

We can see you: Beyonce shades her face under her hooded jacket as she heads to her car in New York today


Beyonce attempts to keep a low profile just days after announcing she is no longer being managed by her father.

The 30-year-old singer was spotted in New York City today, hiding under a hooded jacket as she headed to her car with a security guard in tow.

On Monday the singer confirmed she had parted way on a 'professional level' with father Matthew Knowles, who has masterminded her career since her Destiny's Child days.


New era: It is the first time the singer has been seen since she dumped her father as her manager on Monday


In the statement, Beyonce stressed her devotion to her father on a personal level.
'He is my father for life and I love my dad dearly. I am grateful for everything he has taught me,' Beyonce said.

However their relationship is said to have become strained after it was confirmed a year ago that he had fathered a love child with Alexsandra Wright.

The little boy called Nixon was born after Wright claims she had an 18-month affair with Knowles.

This led to the unravelling of Beyonce's parents marriage and her mother Tina filed for divorce in late 2009 after 29 years of marriage.

Tina Knowles worked as a stylist for Destiny's Child and continues to style her daughter. Together they launched a clothing line, House of Dereon.

Matthew was also said to initially be resistant to Beyonce's union with her now-husband rapper Jay-Z.

There have been rumours over the past couple of years that Beyonce was going to fire Knowles as her manager and instead partner with her husband's company Roc Nation.

In an interview with The Associated Press, he also said his daughter's decision to part ways with him as her manager is all part of her growing up.

He acknowledged Beyonce is a 'very, very smart businesswoman', and says as she turns 30, it is natural that she wants to have more control over her affairs.

Beyonce is currently working on her fourth studio album, a follow-up to 2008 disc I Am... Sasha Fierce.

At last, embattled Sandra Bullock manages to raise a smile

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Perky: Sandra Bullock looked cheerful as she left her New York apartment today for a trip to the gym


Sandra Bullock took the bull by the horns today, so to speak, and made a concerted effort to cheer herself up with a trip to the gym.

The actress has been spotted looking a little down in the dumps in recent days in the wake of her ex-husband Jesse James planing to release a tell-all-book on their marriage.

But as she left her New York apartment this morning, the 46-year-old Oscar-winning actress had managed to raise a smile.


Grin and bare it: The actress played it casual and was carrying a pair of running trainers as she made her bright and breezy exit


Sandra played it casual in three-quarter length trousers and a black top as she headed to for a workout to release some endorphins.

Yesterday she was pictured looking glum as she went out for a stroll with her adopted son Louis.

Her downcast day out came immediately after her ex-husband Jesse James revealed the book cover of his memoir.

In the book James recalls parts of his life spanning 41 years.

He writes about everything from his tough upbringing, and struggles with addiction to success and fame.

He also touches on his failed marriages, which will no doubt refer to his ex-wife, Sandra.

Speaking to U.S magazine People, he describes what the tome will entail.


Mother and son: Sandra seen here on Tuesday with son Louis, cutting a rather glum figure


'I've lived a pretty crazy life,' he said.

'My life has been defined by many things and not just the events of the last year.
'I just wanted [the memoir] to be a good story, a page-turner and hopefully people will see it as that.'

For the the cover, the 41-year-old is seen posing in the theme of the famous American outlaw with whom he shares the same namesake.


'Pretty crazy life': Jesse James's new book cover


Holding a.44 Magnum revolver, he wears a Western Style suit and bowler hat.

He said he settled on the look rather than, 'some variation of a bad prom photo, serious Thinker pose like most book jackets show.'

James, the former head of now redundant West Coast Choppers, appeared in the reality TV reality series Monster Garage and also featured in the documentary Motorcycle Mania.

But the tattoo-clad star is of course most famous for his marriage Bullock - and their bitter split.

Their relationship imploded last year just days after her Oscar win for The Blind Side when she discovered he had been having an affair with a tattoo model.

Sandra then divorced James in April 2010 after more women claimed that they had affairs with Jesse during their marriage.

The split came days before Sandra announced in April that she had proceeded with plans to adopt a baby boy born in New Orleans.

Sandra and Jesse had started the initial adoption process four years earlier.

Louis was already united the former couple in January 2010, but they did not announce the news until the Oscars in March 2010.

After the couple's split, Sandra continued the adoption of the baby as a single parent.

Jesse is now engaged to tattoo artist and reality TV star Kat Von D.


Dishing the dirt: Sandra's ex-husband Jesse James revealed the cover of his tell-all book, American Outlaw, earlier this week


Sandra is currently in New York to film the drama film Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close based on the novel by Jonathan Safran Foer.

The story follows a nine-year-old amateur inventor and astrophysicist who scours New York city for a lock that matches a mysterious key left by his father after he was killed in the September 11 attacks.

Sandra stars alongside Tom Hanks, John Goodman and James Gandolfini n the film which will be released in 201

Sandra was recently listed at the 22nd highest earner in Hollywood for 2010, taking home over $22 million and this year is set to be as good professionally for the star with four films in production and five in development.

Is Cameron Diaz going too far? Actress displays bulging biceps as she collects an award at CinemaCon

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Musclebound: Cameron Diaz showed off her biceps as she collected her Female Star of the Year Award from Drew Barrymore


She's well known for showing off her fabulously toned body - but it looks as though Cameron Diaz may be trying to impress her boyfriend A-Rod just a little too much.

The actress was looking more muscular than ever as she picked up an award at the annual CinemaCon convention in Las Vegas on Wednesday.

Cameron, who accepted the prize for Female Star Of The Year from Drew Barrymore, was wearing a strappy, fitted white dress for the occasion - which showed off her recently acquired biceps.


Pumped up: The actress showed off her muscular look in a strappy white dress at the event in Las Vegas


And while she has always been toned, her muscles suggest that perhaps she might have been hitting the gym a little too heavily of late.

But the muscular look appears to be popular with her current beau.

A-Rod's ex-wife Cynthia also had well-toned biceps - while it is a look also favoured by another one of his exes, Madonna.


Best of friends: Cameron shared a friendly moment with Drew Barrymore, who had presented her with the prize


Cameron not only accepted the award at the annual convention - in which U.S cinema chain owners gather for a preview of forthcoming films - but she also promoted her new movie Bad Teacher.

She stars in the film as a foul-mouthed, money-hungry teacher who goes to extreme lengths to try win the affections of a new teacher - whom her colleague is already dating.

The film - which co-stars her ex Justin Timberlake - is due for release later this year.

What's your number? Gavin Rossdales's fatherly pride as Kingston gets his first phone number from a girl

By SOPHIE FORBES

Like father like son: Kingston Rossdale makes friends with an older girl at the Coldwater Canyon Park in Beverly Hills yesterday while on a day out with his father Gavin Rossdale


Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdales eldest son Kingston has always appeared to be a confident little boy.

And yesterday the four-year-old showed he had inherited his parents' charm as he sat chatting with a girl he met in the park.

The youngster even appeared to swap phone numbers with her while on a boys day out at the park with his father, Bush front man Rossdale.

At first, a nervous-looking Kingston needed some encouragement from his father who reassured him before he sat for a while and chatted with the young lady.

Initially the fashion forward tot, wearing jeans and a white vest, tried to hide behind his father who grinned and helped his son by talking to the girl himself.


First time: The little one came over all shy at first and had to get some encouragement from his father


Eventually Kingston built up the confidence to sit down on the wall next to her and begin talking.

In an adorable and touching moment in the young boy's life, the little girl and Kingston then appeared to swap phone numbers on their matching iPhones.


This is how you do it: Gavin, who has been married to Gwen Stefani for eight years, encouraged his son to chat to the young girl


After spending some time being pushed on the swings the father and son duo then headed back to their car to head home.

'That was a big moment...It was like watching him tie his shoes for the first time,' Gavin was over heard saying as he walked to the car.

Gavin, 44, has been married to No Doubt singer Gwen Stefani for eight years and the pair have another son, Zuma, who is two-and-a-half.


Boys time: Later the Bush front man pushed his son on the swings


Kingston's compassionate mother Gwen recently donated $1million to Save the Children’s Japan Earthquake-Tsunami Emergency Fund to help in the relief and recovery effort.

Stefani said: ‘I’ve been inspired by Japan for many years and have a true love, appreciation and respect for the Japanese people and their culture.

‘The disaster in Japan is beyond heartbreaking and I want to do anything I can to help.

‘I would never be able to make a gesture like this without the love and support of all the fans over all these years.'

'I thought they were Swedish Fish,' jokes Katie Holmes as she explains why she bought Penis Gummies for Suri

By JODY THOMPSON

Awkward: Katie Holmes explained that she initially hadn't realise what Suri had picked up in the restaurant's gift shop


It was the picture that caused consternation, amusement and not a little shock the world over over - and now Katie Holmes has explained why her three-year-old daughter Suri Cruise came to be carrying some rather X-rated sweets earlier this month.

Katie had taken Suri and some friends to a New York restaurant specialising in desserts when the little girl was spotted holding a box of 'penis gummies.'

But in an interview for The Ellen DeGeneres Show, which airs tomorrow, the 32-year-old explained she thought they were 'Swedish Fish' - fish-shaped jellies as she laughed off the incident.


Laughing it off: Katie explained what had happened to Ellen DeGeneres on her chat show in an interview which screens tomorrow


Katie explained: 'Recently, I took her to get ice cream in New York at this place called Serendipity that we go to all the time. It’s for kids.

'We go in and we are waiting for a table and she grabs some gummies that are boy part gummies. I was horrified.'

Katie was clearly still so embarrassed by the episode, she couldn't bring herself to actually say what the sweets were.


Mummy, what are these? Suri picked up the sweets in New York restaurant Serendipity 3


So the former Dawson's Creek star spelled it out to show host Ellen, saying: 'P-e-n-i-s gummies. I said, oh wow those aren’t Swedish Fish.'

Ellen, 53, interjected and joked: 'Even I know that, I know the difference there!'
Katie laughed and continued: 'They are called p-e-n-i-s gummies and they look like it. She was holding the box and I was like okay, wow we don’t need that right now.

'Because I thought if I said "put that back!" and then she’s going to say, "what is this?" And I really didn’t want to have that conversation.

'I was like, why are selling these here? This is for kids. And then it was on the cover of a magazine that I’m giving her those gummies.'

To the uninitiated, Swedish Fish are a type of chewy fruit-flavoured fish-shaped candy sold in the U.S. made for decades by Swedish candy producer Malaco, until Cadbury bought the brand from Leaf in 2006.

In the UK, they are sold in Ikea, including the more hardcore 'salmiak' flavour, or salted liquorice flavour.


Candy confusion: Katie joked that the Penis Gummies weren't exactly the same as Swedish Fish


Katie was on Ellen to promote her new TV mini-series The Kennedys, which premieres on Sunday in the U.S.

The ReelzChannel plans to show the mini-series between April 3 to April 10.
The show has also been picked up in the UK and will also be screened by both BBC2 and HISTORY next month.

The eight-parter sees Katie as Jackie Kennedy and Greg Kinnear as John F Kennedy.

However, the real-life Kennedy family and associates are said to be unhappy about the Jon Cassar-directed series, claiming its scripts were inaccurate and overly critical.

Lindsay Lohan takes a private jet to New York to search for a new flat as she plans move

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Moving on: Lindsay Lohan takes a private jet from LA to New York, where she is searching for a new home


Jewellery store charging $2.99 to watch Lindsay surveillance footage online


Lindsay Lohan is planning to leave Los Angeles and set up home in New York, her mother has revealed.

According to Dina Lohan the troubled actress is 'actively looking' for an apartment to rent.

Lindsay has been seen more and more in the city in recent weeks, flying in on a private jet a few days ago to join her family for a vacation on Long Island.

'She will be in New York a lot more going forward. She's actively looking for places in the city with her younger brother Michael,' Dina said.

'She loves it here. And she has a lot of friends who already have places, so she might sublet.'

Lindsay's decision to move may well have been sparked by her ex-girlfriend Samantha Ronson, who this week went public with her new relationship.

The actress moved into a beach home next door to Ronson's in Venice Beach, California after her release from rehab earlier this year.

And while Lindsay claimed the move was just a coincidence, it was widely interpreted as a sign that she hoped for a reconciliation with her former partner.

But if she does make the move eastward, Lindsay will still need to make regular visits to LA, where she is facing trial over the alleged theft of a $2,500 necklace she has been accused of stealing from a high-end store in Venice, California.

She is next due in court on April 22 after she refused a plea deal.

Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore and daughter Scout enjoy a family day out... at the foot spa

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Family affair: Ashton Kutcher tagged along while his ageless wife Demi Moore took her daughter Scout out for a day of pampering over the weekend


Living with four women has obviously had an effect on Ashton Kutcher.

He joined his wife Demi Moore and her daughter Scout out for a day of pampering over the weekend.

The extended family visited the Aurora Foot Spa on Saturday in the up-scale suburb of Beverly Hills, California.

And while for most the thought of a indulgent foot spa would be a dream, the family looked somewhat downcast during their day out.

Especially Ashton, who was not his smiling self as he he headed back to the family car with step-daughter Scout.


Chic: Demi wore a pair of black fitted cargo pants and fur lined leather jacket and a long tie-dye scarf for the outing


The trio were dressed casually chic for their outing, with Demi in a pair of black fitted cargo pants and fur lined leather jacket and a long tie-dye scarf.

Ashton cuddled up in a cream cardigan which he wore over a flannelette shirt and paired with tan trousers and moccasins.

Demi's 19-year-old daughter wore simple black trousers, a striped t-shirt and a grey blazer.


Scout is the daughter of Demi's ex-husband Bruce Willis.


Downcast? Ashton was not his smiling self on his day out as he headed back to the family car with step-daughter Scout


Demi and Bruce divorced in 2000 and have two other daughters, Rumer, 22, and Tallulah, 17.

Willis is now also remarried to British model and actress, Emma Heming.

Ashton was recently in NYC where he was spotted in a kissing scene with Lea Michele for their upcoming movie New Year’s Eve.

The 33-year-old star was spotted puckering up to Glee star, as they filmed a scene for the movie.

In it he plays a guy who hates New Year's Eve, while Lea plays a back up singer for Bon Jovi, who is also due to make an appearance in the movie.

Sucker Punch star Vanessa Hudgens is slinky and see-through at film's premiere, while her co-stars break into dance

By ANDREA MAGRATH

We like to boogie: The stars of Sucker Punch broke into an impromptu dance on the red carpet at the London premiere of their film tonight


Their film has had an underwhelming reception from critics, so what are girls to do? Dance.

The stars of Sucker Punch shrugged off their bad reviews to have some fun on the red carpet at the London premiere tonight in Leicester Square.


Slinky: Vanessa Hudgens was glamorous in a white backless gown by Alberta Ferretti


While Vanessa Hudgens and Abbie Cornish looked on nervously in their glamorous gowns, their carefree co-stars Emily Browning, Jamie Chung and Jena Malone burst into an impromptu boogie.

The colourful group dazzled as they posed together on the red carpet, and didn't let the damp evening wet their spirits as they giggled like schoolgirls together.

High School Musical star Vanessa, 22, went for all-out glamour in a floor-length white gown by Alberta Ferretti.

Vanessa wore her hair up to show off the backless dress to its full advantage, and displayed her new butterfly neck tattoo.

Abbie Cornish, 28, also chose Alberta Ferretti in a coffee-coloured long dress with lace overlay and dazzled in £175,000 worth of Cartier jewels.


Girls just wanna have fun: Actresses Jamie Chung, Jena Malone and Emily Browning got in on the fun, while their co-stars looked on


Jamie Chung stood out in a flirty hot pink Dolce & Gabbana dress and black peep-toe heels.

The film's star, Australian actress Emily Browning, wore a 1920s style Azzaro dress, while entourage star Carla Cugino wore a bright blue Oscar de la Renta frock.

Jena Malone, best known for her roles in Stepmom and Donnie Darko, wore an interesting printed dress with slashes at the neck and hip by Juan Carlos Obando.

The film has been widely panned by critics, with Time Out calling the Zack Snyder-directed fantasy thriller 'confusing and self-defeating.'


Girl Power: Sucker Punch stars (L-R) Jamie Chung, Abbie Cornish, Jena Malone, Carla Cugino, Emily Browning and Vanessa Hudgens pose together on the red carpet


Nevertheless the film's stars say they had a ball filming it, despite being forced to undergo rigorous workouts involving military and martial arts training and strict diets, in order to complete the action sequences in their tiny corsets and leotards.

But Emily Browning, who became a household name in Lemony Snicket's A Series Of Unfortunate Events says the girls unwound together with a weekly 'cheat night' from their diets and fitness regime.

'Wednesday nights we would all go out and eat cakes together, or just have a cheat night and get together,' she said on the red carpet tonight. 'But we were hanging out all the time and we would have sing-a-longs. It was lots of fun.'


Girlfriends: Jamie Chung does some solo moves before cuddling up to Jena Malone


Abbie Cornish appeared on U.S. TV show, Jimmy Kimmel Live last week to promote the film and described how she was shooting an action scene when a fellow star came at her with a WW1 rifle with a steel bayonet on the end.

'I ducked it but the timing was off and this steel bayonet comes at my head it hits me on the side of the head,' she said.


Stylish: Abbie Cornish also chose Alberta Ferretti, while Jamie Chung looked gorgeous in a hot pink Dolce & Gabbana frock

Over the last week, Perry has been leaking sneak peeks of the video shoot before the promo is seen in its entirety on Thursday.

Perry's other worldliness appearance is inspired by the lyrics of the song, about falling in love with a foreigner.

She's a wonder! Fans get their first glimpse of Adrianne Palicki in action as Wonder Woman as filming gets underway in LA

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Action woman: Adrianne, a relative unknown, beat several other actresses to win the coveted role


Ever since Adrianne Palicki landed the role of Wonder Woman in the remake of the classic TV series, fans of the show have been eager to see the actress in action.

Now they finally have the chance to catch a glimpse of Adrianne taking on the role, after the first pictures were released from the set of the show in Los Angeles.

The snaps show Adrianne - in her sexy new Wonder Woman costume -running down the street during the filming of an action sequence.


New look: Adrianne's costume swaps the pants worn by Lynda Carter in the 1970s for a pair of skin-tight PVC trousers


And the 27-year-old also shows off her stunt skills at one point by running over the roof of a car.

The original version of Wonder Woman was one of the biggest small screen hits of the 1970s and made a star of Lynda Carter, who played the superheroine.

The character was known for having a wealth of superpowers, including superhuman strength, superhuman speed and extra-strong senses.


Show makeover: Wonder Woman - aka Diana Prince is not only a crimefighting vigilante but also a successful corporate executive


The new incarnation will also feature actress Elizabeth Hurley, who will play Wonder Woman's nemesis Veronica Cale.

Hurley recently revealed she was part of the show by posting on Twitter when she first got the role: 'Thrilled to be doing the NBC pilot Wonder Woman'.

She added that she will be playing the lead character's nemesis saying: 'I'll be playing the evil villain. Can't wait'.

It was announced in February that relative unknown Adrianne Palicki had beaten a number of other actresses to the role of Wonder Woman.

Palicki is better known in America for her role in the drama series Friday Night Lights, but has yet to make a household name for herself.


Carefully does it: Several scenes feature the character jumping over cars during the sequence


Shortly after she was revealed to have the lead a photo of her appeared in the character's revamped costume, which ditched the 'big pants' worn by Lynda Carter in the 70s in favour of skin-tight PVC trousers.

However the costume attracted some controversy for not featuring the patriotic American stars and stripes which featured on Carter's outfit.

Rival TV network Fox said; 'The new and allegedly improved Wonder Woman (a.k.a Diana Prince) has been given a head-to-toe makeover by artist Jim Lee, replacing her signature American flag decorated briefs with skintight…pants and purging the super hero of all her trappings of Americana.

The new show is written by writer and producer David E. Kelley, who brought Ally McBeal, Chicago Hope and Boston Legal to our screens.

No broadcast date for the show has yet been given.

Many Hollywood actresses had been vying for the coveted role of Woman Woman, among them Mad Men actress Christina Hendricks.

Palicki is better known in America for her role in the drama series Friday Night Lights, but has yet to make a household name for herself.

Shortly after she was revealed to have the lead a photo of her appeared in the character's revamped costume, which ditched the 'big pants' worn by Lynda Carter in the 70s in favour of skin-tight PVC trousers.

However the costume attracted some controversy for not featuring the patriotic American stars and stripes which featured on Carter's outfit.

Rival TV network Fox said; 'The new and allegedly improved Wonder Woman (a.k.a Diana Prince) has been given a head-to-toe makeover by artist Jim Lee, replacing her signature American flag decorated briefs with skintight…pants and purging the super hero of all her trappings of Americana.

The new show is written by writer and producer David E. Kelley, who brought Ally McBeal, Chicago Hope and Boston Legal to our screens.

No broadcast date for the show has yet been given.

Many Hollywood actresses had been vying for the coveted role of Woman Woman, among them Mad Men actress Christina Hendricks.
