After three miscarriages and failed IVF, twins are born ...

By CHRIS BROOKE

Bundles of Joy: Libby and Harry were born after their mother, Stacy, had three miscarriages


After three miscarriages and failed IVF treatments, Stacy and James Bodle feared they might never have a family of their own.

But they say an experimental fertility treatment using egg yolks and soya oil cured the condition causing the miscarriages and they are now celebrating the arrival of twins Libby and Harry.

‘I’ve hardly slept for the 13 weeks since they were born but I’m not complaining,’ said Mrs Bodle, 30. ‘They have been the happiest weeks of our lives.


Stacy and James Bodle endured years of heartbreak as they tried to start a family but an undetected medical condition caused Stacy to repeatedly miscarry after falling pregnant with Harry, left, and Libby


‘We were trying for three years for a family and we started to think this day would never come. There were so many awful times and to sit here and see our lovely twins staring back at us is wonderful.’

The treatment involved a combination of natural fats made up from egg yolks and soya oil. Doctors believe this intralipid liquid, a calorie-rich potion normally used in tube-feeding sick patients, could help more women achieve their dream of motherhood.

Sarah Jessica Parker spent yesterday with her twin daughters

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Doting mother: Sarah Jessica Parker spent yesterday with her twin daughters in Manhattan


She's famous for playing the hippest fashionista who ever walked the streets of Manhattan, but isn't it refreshing to see Sarah Jessica Parker like this?

The 46-year-old actress spent yesterday with her 22-month-old twin daughters in Manhattan, in a casual outfit that would no doubt horrify alter ego Carrie Bradshaw.

But then wafer-thin Carrie, who pirouettes through the city's streets in heels and mini-skirts - often with a giant flower on her head, always tries a bit too hard.


Wardrobe malfunction: Parker unwittingly reveals undergarments as tends to daughter


And it's very hard to manage toddlers while wearing Manolo Blahniks, after all.

It's a refreshingly normal outfit from Parker, who normally tries to promote the cutting-edge fashion at the heart of her juggernaut of a franchise.

Clearly her focus for the day is firmly upon her twin daughters Marion and Tabitha.


A lovely sight: Parker looked refreshingly normal on day out with her girls


It was quite a transformation, from Carrie with cigarette and phone in either hand, to the working mum with pram and toddlers in tow.

Parker even shrugged off a wardrobe malfunction with a smile, as she bent over to tend to one of her beautiful daughters.

The trio enjoyed the morning at a playground before heading to buy groceries, where Parker checked a recipe list carefully.

The star even carried her own shopping bags, and still looked as chic as Carrie wielding a clutch bag.

And while her clothes weren't sharp, the response to reports that Parker leaves the bulk of her childcare to two nannies, was implicitly so.

Katie Price marks her Argentina trip with ANOTHER tattoo...

By EMILY SHERIDAN

'OMG it hurts': Katie Price posted a photo of herself getting a new tattoo by Mariano Antonio (right) at the American Tattoo parlour in Buenos Aires


Many visitors to Argentina end up going home with a traditional mate cup, tango music recordings or Che Guevara memorabilia.

But Katie Price decided to commemorate her romantic trip to her new boyfriend Leandro Penna's native country in a rather different way - by getting a new tattoo.

The glamour model, 32, opted to have another etching added to her inner left arm - alongside her older designs of a crown and her daughter's name 'Princess'.


I can't look: Katie fixes her gaze on boyfriend Leandro Penna as Antonio tattoos her arm


Price also had her first husband Peter Andre's Christian name above the crown, but had a cross tattooed on top of it in soon after they split in 2009.

But as she posted a photo of herself apparently getting another tattoo in the same place - perhaps she is finally covering up all trace of her tribute to her ex.


Before and after: Is Price getting a new design over her 'Pete' tattoo - which she had crossed out (right) during a trip to Ibiza soon after their 2009 split?


Body art: The glamour model also has a ribbon on her right ankle and a pink bow on her lower back


Although she teased fans by announcing she had a new tattoo and posting a photo on her Twitter page, the glamour model declined to show fans what it looked like, preferring to wait a few days for the redness to subside.

She wrote: 'In the middle of having a new tattoo ...OMG it HURTS grrrr ahhhhhh.'

Justin Bieber jets out of Sydney after getting pelted on stage

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

I had a cracking time: Justin Bieber waves to fans as he takes a plane out of Sydney today bound for Melbourne after being egged on stage on Friday night


After getting pelted on stage, it seemed Justin Bieber was in no mood for an Egg McMuffin meal.

Instead, the teen singer settled for a Burger King as he was spotted jetting out of Sydney, Australia, today.

The 17-year-old star had the embarrassing misfortune of being egged on Friday night during a performance in front of thousands of screaming fans at the the city's Acer Arena.


The tour continues: Bieber was spotted carrying a Burger King as he boarded the aircraft earlier today


Footage of the incident showed two eggs landing within a metre of the Canadian superstar.

Then four more eggs appeared to fall from directly above the singer, prompting some internet users to question if the incident was all a set-up.

According Australia's Herald Sun, Justin didn't miss a beat during the egg incident.


Playing it casual: The singer was dressed in jeans and a hoodie teamed with red and black trainers


He continued performing as a helper quickly cleaned up the mess.

The egg attack outraged many Biebers fans who quickly took to the internet.

One web user named Taylor wrote on Thejustinbiebershrine.com: 'I was soo angry when I saw this, I hate whoever did this. Why bother?'


Justin doesn't crack: The superstar singer was pelted with eggs, but he didn't miss a beat and continued performing

Another fan took to Twitter a warning: 'Dear person who threw eggs at @justinbieber in Sydney, you now have over #9millionbeliebers after you, be afraid! We go harder than hard!'

Skynews Australia posted a short video of the incident on Youtube a short time after it happened.

Justin is now heading to Melbourne where he will perform on Monday and Tuesday night as part of his My World Tour.

Elton John wells up at the wedding 14 years after he sang for Diana at Westminster Abbey

By ANDREA MAGRATH


Emotional: Elton John appeared rather misty-eyed during the Royal Wedding today


In an emotional interview three years ago, he described singing at Princess Diana's funeral as a 'surreal' experience he hoped never to have to repeat.

So it is understandable that returning to Westminster Abbey today would be an emotional experience for Elton John.

After initially arriving at the event in high spirits, the singer appeared a little misty-eyed at one point in the ceremony.


Memories: The singer famously played at the funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales fourteen years earlier


Elton was pictured biting his lip and his eyes looked red-rimmed as he gazed at the proceedings.

Earlier the 64-year-old shared a laugh with partner David Furnish and fellow guests as they took their front-row aisle seats inside the Abbey.


'Surreal': In 2008 he gave an emotional interview discussing his performance of Candle In The Wind at Diana's funeral in 1997


He received a huge cheer as they arrived at the Abbey, and waved gaily at the crowd.

But Elton's mood turned sombre, perhaps as he reflected on his tribute to his late friend, the Princess Of Wales at her funeral on September 6, 1997.

Elton's re-worked rendition of his hit Candle In The Wind moved the millions of viewers to tears and is widely regarded as the best-selling single of all time.

In a TV documentary aired in 2008, the singer recalled: 'Me playing at the funeral was one of the most surreal things I have ever done.


Excited: Elton looked in high spirits as he and a distracted David Furnish (left) waited for the ceremony to begin


'What was going through my mind was, "Don't f*** this up. Don't sing a wrong note. Don't sing the wrong note. Be stoic.

"Don't break down and just do it to the best you can possibly do it without showing any emotion whatsoever."

'My heart was beating quite a lot, I have to say,' he told VH1 'RocDoc' Me, Myself and I.


Proud: Sir Elton beams with happiness as he watches Prince William and his new bride walk down the aisle to leave the Abbey


'This is an unreal experience and I hope I never have to do it again.'

Elton was less forthcoming when asked by BBC Radio 5 outside the Abbey how he enjoyed the wedding.

Speaking after the ceremony, his response was: 'It's not the Oscars.'

From faux chav to green goddess...

By JAN MOIR

Glamorous: The Duchess of Cambridge's only sister has become an overnight sensation following her sister's wedding to Prince William


A life can change in a moment. And certainly something seismic happened to Pippa Middleton when she stepped out of the car at Westminster Abbey.

As far as the world is concerned, it was BC and AD. Before the Church, then After the Dress.

Yes, Kate’s glorious bridal gown rightly grabbed all the headlines. But smoking hot on her heels was lil’ sis, poured into a column of buttermilk satin, in a button-backed dress that was tighter than a coat of paint.


Party girl: Pippa Middleton is almost unrecognisable from her University days. She loves fancy dress


After all, her role as maid of honour was a secondary one. Hold the bouquet, keep smiling, don’t let the bride get spinach on her teeth.

Most importantly, she had to attend to a majestic bridal train that was almost nine feet long. A duty that required a lot of bending over.

So if you have to do this in front of a global audience of billions, you might as well bunny dip in an unforgettable frock that is going to maximise your best asset.

Mince, mince, mince, dip, dip, dip, she went; our glorious Pippa the Big Dipper. Not since the first Panzer tank turned and fled at the battle of El Alamein has a rear end made such an impression on the world.

The impact has been incredible. So much so it is no exaggeration to say everything has changed for Pippa.


Fun: Pippa sports a Burberry cap and a fake barbed wire tattoo to pose as a chav.


Rear of the year: Pippa Middleton's rear became one of the most talked about things on the internet


In one shake of a tail feather, she has become a global celebrity, a household name and one of the most talked about people at the wedding of the century. More than that, she is now one of the most eligible women in the world.

For in the three days since the wedding, her stock has soared a million-fold. She’s in big, big demand.

American magazines will want to put her on their covers, fashion designers will want her to wear their creations and dukes will be queuing up to marry her.

Not to mention the swarms of rogues and rascals who will want to distil some of that royal potency for their own dastardly ends.

£4,000-a-night honeymoon: William is to whisk Kate off to a tropical hideaway

By REBECCA ENGLISH

And they're orf: Kate and William at Buckingham Palace on Saturday before flying by helicopter for their 'mini-moon'


The newlywed Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are to honeymoon in a £4,000-a-night villa on one of the most beautiful and romantic islands in the world.

Prince William is to whisk his bride away to a secret hideaway in the Indian Ocean for a ten-day holiday later this month.

It was widely expected that the couple would be going on honeymoon this week after their wedding on Friday. But at the weekend it was announced that the Duke, a search and rescue pilot, would be returning to work tomorrow at RAF Valley on Anglesey.


Not even Kate is aware of where the couple will be going for their honeymoon but it is understood to be an exclusive island in the Seychelles (Stock image)


Despite his status as second in line to the throne he had to apply for leave like his colleagues. He was given a week off for the wedding but was told that he would have to split any further holiday requests – hence the delayed departure date.

The Mail can reveal that the Duke and Duchess are due to fly out by private jet in mid-May before being taken by helicopter from the mainland to the tropical retreat.

Two Scotland Yard protection officers checked the destination a fortnight ago to ensure it would give the couple the privacy they crave. The Mail is not publishing details of the location, and it is understood that not even Kate is aware of the exact destination.

The resort, which is surrounded by coconut groves, offers almost complete isolation. Its white sand beaches are bathed by crystal-clear turquoise waters and are a sanctuary for sea turtles.

Only a handful of luxury villas are dotted across the island. Hand-crafted out of local wood, each has an open-air bathroom area with sunken bath and shower, a private garden and a wooden deck with freshwater rock pool and yoga pavilion.

There is a butler on hand in every villa, and a personal chef will conjure up a daily menu based on freshly-caught fish and whatever delicacies the couple wish.


The couple were seen flying from Buckingham Palace for their 'mini-moon' in a helicopter


The area is an eco-haven and while snorkelling, kayaking or diving are encouraged, its tranquillity is preserved with a ban on jet skis and similar watersports.

A source said: ‘It’s one of the most incredible places you will ever visit and Kate will have the time of her life. It’s everything you could want from a honeymoon destination and more – beautiful beaches, tropical seas and complete privacy.

‘The prince’s protection officers flew out two and half weeks ago to check it out and their villa has been booked and confirmed.

‘It’s a real Robinson Crusoe kind of place. There are some beautiful hikes, but if you can’t be bothered to walk a golf cart will transport you. They will also deliver you a picnic with ice-cold drinks.



Like everyone else he works with, Prince William had to apply to take time off before the wedding


‘If you fancy some company there is a little beach bar and a restaurant. Most people, however, prefer to eat meals brought by the butler on the privacy of their deck while watching the sunset.’

Over the weekend the Duke and Duchess have been enjoying a ‘mini-moon’ at a mystery location in the UK. They flew in the Queen’s helicopter from Buckingham Palace on Saturday for a two-night break.

Clarence House refused to reveal their destination, or issue official pictures of the honeymooners. Previous royal newlyweds, including Prince Charles and Princess Diana and the Queen and Prince Philip, all posed for photographers.

The secrecy sparked a nationwide guessing game with alleged sightings of the couple from the Isles of Scilly to North East Scotland.

A Clarence House spokesman said last night: ‘The couple have asked the media to respect the privacy of their honeymoon, therefore we can neither confirm or deny speculation.’

Kinky boots: Miley Cyrus dons risqué leather outfit

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

On tour: Miley will perform in 11 South American cities before heading to the Philippines and then Australia


As she took to the stage in Equador last night, Miley Cyrus appeared as if she has gone to the Taylor Momsen school of fashion.

The 18-year-old pop star came out to perform in a racy black and red leather outfit which left little to the imagination.

The actress and singer has returned to work and last night kicked off the start of her Gypsy Heart Tour at the Atahualpa Staduim in Quito, Equador.

Miley rocked a cropped red leather embellished jacket with black leather hight waisted hot pants, thigh high boots and unusual black suspenders and stockings as she sang and danced her way through the set.

She was joined on stage by several equally as racily dressed dancers.

The Hannah Montana star left her home in Los Angeles on Thursday to begin a 20 date tour through South America, The Philippines and Australia.

'Amazinnggg. This crowd was beyond incredible. I cried my eyes out. so touched.'

Before taking to the stage last night Miley clearly had time to catch up on watching the Royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton.

She tweeted her opinion of the lavish affair and even joked about becoming a princess herself.

Katy Perry mocks internet sensation Rebecca Black

By GEORGINA LITTLEJOHN

Mocking: Katy Perry sang an acoustic and tuneless version of Rebecca Black's Friday on stage in Melbourne last night


There are probably a lot of teenage girls who would be thrilled to bits if Katy Perry decided to sing one of their songs during her concert.

But not Rebecca Black, who will no doubt be feeling a little disappointed with the Firework star's 'tribute' to her.

Perry poked fun at the teenager when she performed her song 'Friday' at her gig in Melbourne yesterday.


You know the words: With a sarcastic look on her face, Katy led the audience into a rendition of the chorus


And Katy decided the only way to sing it was out of tune, mocking the fact that the 13-year-old used auto-tuning on her vocals.

As she started an acoustic set during the gig, Katy, 25, with a mocking wide-eyed look on her face, declared to the crowd: 'So I can't play the flute. But that's ok. Because everything magical happens on a Friday.'

She received loud cheers from the audience inside the Rod Laver Arena, with one, who was recording the performance, declaring: 'No way'.


Big Down Under: Rebecca Black, seen here arriving at LAX airport yesterday, had 15,000 Melbourne fans singing her song


Rebecca Black, who comes from California, shot to fame earlier this year after heavily auto-tuned video of Friday went viral.

But unfortunately for the teen, it attracted a barrage of criticism and even death threats after her video was viewed by more than 110 million times on YouTube.

And Black admitted she was shaken by the vicious comments she received online.

Speaking on Good Morning America last month, she said: 'When I first saw all these nasty comments I did cry. I felt like this was my fault and I shouldn't have done this and this is all because of me. Now I don't feel that way.'

Berger says they were listening to Carey's We Belong Together after the children were born.

Cannon tweeted this afternoon: 'My wife just gave me the most incredible anniversary gift ever in life! I won't ever be able to top this!'
