Dr Love: Matt Smith and Daisy Lowe take their never-ending PDA Stateside

By ANDREA MAGRATH

Matt Smith and Daisy Lowe take their never-ending PDA Stateside     1
Summer lovin': Matt SMith and Daisy Lowe look as loved up as ever during a working holiday in LA


He is supposed to be over in the States working.

But Matt Smith looked like he was more than a little distracted yesterday in Los Angeles - though who could blame him, with model girlfriend Daisy Lowe by his side.

The couple looked as loved-up as ever as they strolled hand in hand, got hot and heavy on the beach and tucked into lunch during their Californian sojourn.

Getting to grips: The Doctor Who star couldn't resist a cheeky squeeze as he and his gorgeous girlfriend strolled through LA


Matt, 28, and his 22-year-old girlfriend spent a relaxing day in the sunshine and appeared prepared for any weather eventuality, making several costume changes throughout the day.

Both started out in a shorts and vests as they strolled through the shops. They kissed and hugged as they walked clutching refreshments, and Matt couldn't resist a cheeky squeeze of Daisy's behind.

The couple stopped by an outdoor cafe where they tucked into a hearty lunch on the side walk.

Then the lovebirds headed down to the beach, where they lay in the sand and cuddled.

Hot and heavy: The couple are rarely seen not in a steamy clinch at home or abroad

Lazy days: Matt and Daisy stretched out on the beach for some canoodling


Model and designer Daisy read a book, while Matt snoozed next to her, but it wasn't long before their near-constant PDA was back in full force again.

Later they managed to untangle themselves long enough for Matt to get in a jog, and Daisy looked a little glum being separated from her man as she took a solo stroll.

In a recent interview Matt admitted there are some drawbacks to dating the Doctor. 'The workload and the level of attention you get in this role of Doctor Who are significant, but hopefully you can find someone that supports you, which I am lucky to have,' he told the Daily Mirror.

'One hopes it is a pleasant experience to be going out with me.

'If you were an astronaut, the Prime Minister or a brain surgeon, I think that would be harder because they are dealing with life and death every day.'

Despite yesterday appearing to be strictly holiday-mode for the couple, Matt recently revealed his plans for the LA trip.

'I’m going over to Los Angeles to dip my head in the pond,' Matt told the Mirror. 'I am going to be having loads of meetings with film people and that sort of stuff.

The long and short of it: The couple appeared prepared for any weather and made several costume changes throughout the day


'I have a lot of ambitions. I would like one day to direct and I just want to keep doing quality work. LA is kinda groovy – I really like it out there.

'Would I get a big part, who knows? Sadly, that is not up to me. That all depends on people in the American film industry and whether they want to put me there. But I certainly won’t complain if that happens.'

Matt and Daisy began dating in February last year but split after just a few weeks.
They soon rekindled the romance though and have been going strong ever since.

Work it out: Matt finally broke away from his girlfriend to get a work out it, and Daisy looked a little glum being separated from her man as she took a solo stroll.


Daisy supported Matt at the BAFTA Television Awards over the weekend, but her mother Pearl has poured cold water over speculation of an engagement.

‘That’s a long way off at the moment. Daisy is too young for that right now,' the designer recently told the Sunday Mirror.

'There is no rush is there? I waited until I was 38! I just liked to be sure after 16 years. We did it for the party to be honest.'

Ego alert! Simon Cowell gives Nicole Scherzinger a cake with his face on it for her birthday

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Ego alert! Simon Cowell gives Nicole Scherzinger a cake with his face on it for her birthday  1
Brave Face: Nicole smiles after receiving Simon's joke T-shirt in Seattle today


It should have been the icing on the cake but instead Simon Cowell's birthday surprise for Nicole Scherzinger took the biscuit.

The sardonic talent show don waited until the last minute of the second day of Seattle auditions to give his fellow judge her treats.

Today she turned 33, and was apparently so keen to celebrate the milestone with her new colleagues that she's issued constant reminders.

The Pussycat Doll even emailed Simon last night, lest he forget.

She needn't have worried, as the irascible judge was planning to have his fun with her.

After flowers from L.A Reid and a 500-strong rendition of Happy Birthday from the audience led by Paula Abdul, not to mention plenty of teasing from Simon, he finally handed over his 'gifts.'

First up was cake with a picture of him on it and just one candle, he then followed it up with a T-shirt also featuring his visage, with the additional detail 'I heart' detail on it.

Nicole smiled broadly as she held up the joke garment, but it seemed she was expecting something more from the billionaire.

Destroyed: The image of Simon was defiled on the birthday cake


So perhaps the state of the cake, which was photographed and uploaded to Simon's Facebook account, betrayed her real feelings.

The image had been roundly defiled, all in the name of fun, we're sure.

An insider confirmed that she was disappointed: 'I think Nicole might have been expecting something fancy.

'Simon’s face on a cake and T Shirt probably wasn’t exactly it, but no doubt she will get her own back when his birthday comes around!'

But Nicole still got quite a fuss, nonetheless.

No less than four groups asked to sing special versions of Happy Birthday in their bids to impress her.

Birthday Girl: Nicole enjoyed an epic rendition of Happy Birthday today, led by fellow judges - including Paula Abdul


It was an emotional day for the newest member of the panel, who admitted she's still getting her head around her fantastic new job.

The singer, who was wearing a stunning silver mini-dress and had her hair swept up on her head, said: 'I am so excited, I woke up this morning and its my birthday, I have an amazing job working with three of the most wonderful people in the world that I have ever met... '

Before joking: 'Well two actually – and then there’s Simon too!'

Smug: Simon secretly contemplates his cunning plan


She reserved extra praise for Paula Abdul, Scherzinger gushed: 'She is my idol and she wished me happy birthday today! '

'And now I get to sit next to her, and stare at her in a kinda creepy way, I think, and just because I just love her so much'

One insider said: 'Nicole has been reminding everyone for weeks that her birthday is coming up and she even emailed Simon last night to remind him so he wouldn’t forget when he arrived at work today, she as so cute'

But it was L.A. Reid who welcomed her with a big bunch of flowers, while Simon is keeping his big surprise under wraps.

Today is Scherzinger's actual birthday but she already started celebrating in earnest at the weekend in Vegas.

Serenade: Nicole thanks the crowd for birthday song


The beauty, who is dating F1 champion Lewis Hamilton, enjoyed a daytime event and then partied the night away at TAO Nightclub at the Venetian hotel.

For the evening event she looked stunning in a glittering mini dress which she paired with taupe shoes and bag.

Her long raven hair in soft curls which cascaded over her shoulders.

In the day, Scherzinger was presented with an an amazing five-tiered cake decorated in gold and pink with her name in glittering letters perched on the side.

The cake was covered in musical symbols, a microphone and the second tier even featured a corset

But it probably could've benefited from Simon's face.

Watch out Bieber! Selena Gomez admits she has a crush on 'handsome' ladies' man Shia LeBeouf

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Watch out Bieber! Selena Gomez admits she has a crush on 'handsome' ladies' man Shia LeBeouf  1
Blushing: Selena Gomez is overjoyed by surprise meeting with her long-term crush, Shia LeBeouf


He may have millions of adoring fans but Justin Bieber might just be jealous that the one girl he wants to go weak at the knees for him, girlfriend Selena Gomez, has a crush on another star.

The 18-year-old is mad for Transformers star Shia LeBeouf, and she's not afraid to admit it after posting footage of her surprise meeting with the 25-year-old actor on YouTube.

Gomez' friends tricked the Disney star into going to LeBeouf's dressing room on the pretence she was meeting fans.

And despite her fame, Gomez was starstruck and only managed to blurt out 'I'm so sorry to bother you,' before running out of his dressing room.

But action man LeBeouf chased her down and gave her a hug before posing for pictures with the brunette.

'Thanks for being so sweet to me,' Shia told Selena. 'You’re really sweet to me.'

Idol: LeBeouf chased Gomez after she fled his dressing room


'I admire you,' Selena spluttered, and back in her own dressing room she berated her friends.

'You guys suck! You used my fans as bait!' she said.

'He’s so cute…Oh my gosh, he’s so handsome, I’m so embarrassed.”

Adding, 'Now he thinks I’m crazy!'

You Guys Suck: An overwhelmed Gomez lets the encounter sink in


Gomez posted her video yesterday and titled it Meeting Shia, with the caption 'best day ever.'

You can only wonder what Bieber thinks about it, as he was today still patiently following his lady on the promotional trail for her new movie and album.

The 17-year-old, who is more used to being the headline act, accompanied Gomez to an early morning appearance on Fox & Friends in Manhattan this morning.

The pop star appeared a little weary though, and stopped for a caffeine fix while on the run.

Thirsty work: Justin Bieber required a caffeine hit today as he accompanied Selena Gomez to an early morning appearance on Fox & Friends in Manhattan, today


Clutching an Au Bon take-away coffee, the teen sensation eagerly sipped what seemed like a much needed pick-me-up.

Trying not to steal the limelight from Selena, Justin dressed down for the occasion in a pair of charcoal jeans and a black t-shirt.

But with his signature red baseball cap perched firmly on his head, there was no doubt the chart-topping singer was present.

Selena looked sensational in a slinky knee-length purple coloured sating frock, which she paired silver pointed toe heels.

The dress accentuated the singer's glowing olive complexion and she wore minimal make-up on her flawless and youthful face.

And while Selena looked all grown up for her promotional appearance, on the show Selena said that she would not be completed ditching her Disney roots.

'I have finished with Disney Channel, but that does not mean that I want to completely disown the fact that I do have a younger generation looking up at me,' she said.

'I feel like I’ve done the best I can. If I make my family proud and if I make my fans proud that’s all that matters to me.'

Supporting each other's careers is just another sign that the couple relationship is getting stronger and closer as days go by.

Last week, even after surviving a reported fan attack at Macy’s Herald Square in New York, Justin made sure to pick himself up and head to Selena’s film premiere.

Bieber there met up his girlfriend to support her at the premiere for Monte Carlo – her new romantic comedy that also stars Leighton Meester and Katie Cassidy.

Days before he also wrapped a protective arm around Selena when she hosted the MuchMusic Video Awards awards ceremony.

Busy: In addition to his own heavy workload, Justin has been busy playing doting boyfriend to Selena, as she continues her promotional trail for her new movie and album


Selena had had a rocky few weeks after she fell ill and was admitted into hospital for 24 hours with malnutrition earlier this month.

The awards was Selena's first public appearance since her dramatic hospital dash.

Bieber took to the stage to accept an award, which he shared with hip hop star Drake, after they were named joint winners of best international Canadian video.

Selena has been having a ball celebrating her new romantic comedy with her female co-stars over the last couple of weeks.

Doting: Justin also wrapped a protective arm around Selena when she hosted the MuchMusic Video Awards awards ceremony earlier this month


The film sees three young women on holiday in Paris and find themselves whisked away to Monte Carlo after one of the girls is mistaken for a British heiress.

Selena stars in the film alongside two of Gossip Girl’s actresses Leighton Meester and Katie Cassidy.

Monte Carlo is set to be released next month, so Selena was keen to promote her new project to her fans.

Selena is currently promoting her hit song 'Who Says' which she performs with her group Selena Gomez and The Scene.

Anything you can do, Sis: Pippa now rivals Kate in selling power as £129 red Hobbs dress sells out

By TAMARA ABRAHAM

Pippa now rivals Kate in selling power as £129 red Hobbs dress sells out  1
Retail royalty: Pippa Middleton's Hobbs NW3 dress sold out on the retailer's website after she was seen wearing it two days in a row - for a shopping trip on Tuesday (left), and again for Wimbledon on Wednesday (right)


Pippa Middleton loves her favourite red dress so much, she's worn it two days running. And it seems we love it too, as it has now sold out across the UK.

Hobbs NW3's Wyldes shift was a bargain at just £89, reduced in the summer sales from £129, but once the Duchess of Cambridge's sister was seen wearing it for both a shopping trip on Tuesday and Wimbledon yesterday, the retailer's website was slammed with orders.

For the lucky few that managed to get their hands on one of the frocks, which has military-style buttons at the shoulders and pocket, it promises to serve them well.

Versatile: The bright red shift, which was on sale for £89, can be dressed up or down


The 27-year-old proved just how versatile the dress is, teaming it with flats for a trip to Russell & Bromley on the King's Road, then ramping up the style factor the following day with tan espadrille wedges and sunglasses.

With such a bright hue, it is important to keep the accessories simple, and Miss Middleton did just that.

On both occasions she wore simple gold hoop earrings and carried one of her trusty Modalu bags - which, incidentally, also sold out when she was spotted carrying one after the Royal Wedding.

Love match: Pippa arrived at Wimbledon yesterday with boyfriend Alex Loudon


The consumer reaction to Pippa's clothing is beginning to mirror that of her sister's.

Almost everything Catherine has worn since her engagement has sparked a similar response, and Reiss has even had to reissue old stock due to customer demand.

But while the High Street's mass-market appeal helps us identify with the glamorous siblings, they are wise to use high-end designers from time-to-time as well.

Tender: The pair looked loved-up as they watched the match between Roger Federer and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga


Alice Temperley, who designed the emerald green gown that Miss Middleton wore to her sister's evening wedding reception, has said that despite customer demand, it was a one-off piece and she will not be making replicas.

She told the Daily Telegraph: 'We'd made it specifically for her and I wasn't going to start trying to capitalise on that.'

Roger Federer crashes out of Wimbledon in the quarter finals as tournament of upsets continues

By DEBORAH ARTHURS

Out and down: Roger Federer slumps in his chair after his surprise exit at the hands of Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga


There was shock for a second day running at Wimbledon as Switzerland's Roger Federer crashed out of the tournament in the quarter finals.

The world number three was beaten in an unexpected defeat by French hope Jo-Wilifried Tsonga, who battled the six-times Wimbledon champion in a five set marathon.

It means Andy Murray now has one less challenge to overcome as he aims to win his first Wimbledon title, having breezed past Feliciano Lopez in straight sets in imperious form.

Tsonga's reward for beating Federer is a semi against Novak Djokovic. Murray's victory means he will now face another Spaniard, Rafael Nadal, who made it through to the semi-final by seeing off the challenge of Mardy Fish.

Federer's defeat came after the Swiss had established a strong two-set lead where it seemed he had the game in his stylish white bag.

But in an amazing comeback that stunned the crowd, Tsonga snatched victory from the jaws of defeat by beating Federer three sets to two, winning six games to four in the final set.

A delighted Tsonga performed a victory dance as Roger quietly walked from the court he has come to call his own over the past eight years.

After his match Murray said he was surprised at Federer's exit but that Tsonga had simply played too well for even the Swiss legend to cope.

A pat on the back: Federer has the class to acknowledge Tsonga on a job well done


'I don't think Roger played a bad match,' said Murray.

Sometimes other guys just play too good.'

Confident Federer fans looked jubilant as Federer easily took the first two sets.

But their smiles faded as he lost the third set and it became clear he could not push back against Tsonga's unwavering energy.

Lightening up, Cheryl, the X-brunette: Cole goes for more fun as a blonde

By SARA NATHAN

New look: Cheryl Cole shows her colours as she visits the US Embassy


Like an X Factor reject, that big blousy brunette look was never going to last the distance. So Cheryl Cole has cut her losses and gone sleek. And blonder.

The singer showed off her new hairstyle as she emerged in public for the first time since her dreams of winning over America were left in tatters.

Miss Cole, who turns 28 today and will celebrate with a £20,000 party tomorrow night, is keen to forget the humiliation of being axed as a judge from X Factor USA after four days. A friend said she was making a fresh start – and going blonde was the first step.

The singer has sent a stylish purple and black invite to friends including her Girls Aloud bandmates Kimberley Walsh, Nicola Roberts and Sarah Harding, X Factor judges and record company executives.

The location has been kept secret so far, but reads: ‘You are invited to celebrate Cheryl’s birthday. Friday 1st July. 9pm til late. Venue to be advised.’

Second step is a little more time out. ‘Cheryl has had a long year, everything has really taken its toll. She’s taking some time to work out what she wants to do now. It’s a new year, a new look.’

Light weight: Cheryl sports a shorter blonde cut for summer


Miss Cole arrived at the American embassy in Grosvenor Square, London yesterday to collect the U.S. work visa that would have allowed her to join Simon Cowell on the U.S. show.

She looked happy and healthy as she strode through the sunny London streets dressed in a black jacket, a £130 Stella McCartney vest top emblazoned with tulips, tight black jeans and towering black boots.


Lightening up, Cheryl, the X-brunette 3
Elegant: Miss Cole yesterday and, with big hair, in the US


‘The application had already gone through from when she was doing the U.S. X Factor and it was the final date to complete it otherwise it would have to be done again,’ a source said. ‘What’s good is that now she can work in America whenever she wants – so she can still crack the States.’

When a star usually emerges with a drastic makeover it usually signals one thing – they have something to hawk.
And so, questions quickly arose when Cheryl Cole emerged from five weeks in hiding sporting a brand-new blonde bob.


Lightening up, Cheryl, the X-brunette 4
Lighter shade of Cheryl. She shows off her new hair style and colour


It was the first time she had been seen since her American dreams were left in tatters after being axed from the X Factor USA last month.

Considering the last time she made such a drastic change was when she dyed her hair bright red last October as part of her deal with French beauty brand, L’Oreal, it was a question worth asking.

What new project was she attempting to promote, did she have a new album - and what point was she attempting to make?


Lightening up, Cheryl, the X-brunette 5
Stepping out: Cheryl Cole calls in at the US Embassy to collect her visa


But surprisingly, a close friend told the Daily Mail that Mrs Cole had chopped off her long brunette mane – always supplemented by expensive extensions – to make a fresh start in her life.

And this will entail the petite star taking a small break from showbiz, as the friend said: ‘Cheryl has had a long year, everything has really taken its toll. She’s taking some time to work out what she wants to do now.

‘She’s not retiring or giving up showbusiness, she just wants a short break.’

Judge for yourself: X factor judges Simon Cowell, Cheryl Cole, Dannii Minogue and Louis Walsh


The source added: ‘Cheryl is on fine form – she had a very rocky few weeks, but she’s just looking forward to a new year and to celebrating her birthday with her friends tomorrow night.

‘It’s a new year, a new look – she wanted a change and she wanted to feel free.’


Stressful: Divorce from Ashley Cole


Simon Cowell, 51, admitted he had received a message from Mrs Cole saying she felt ‘let down’ by him, adding: ‘A hundred per cent I have to take full responsibility, because I do have a lot of sway.

‘The hardest thing to accept is that everyone has painted me as a monster because I embarrassed her. But the truth was I was protecting her.

‘I apologise that all this has become public and I understand the stress she is under, and I hate that… I am sorry this has caused so much anguish and embarrassment, but I stand by what I believe was the right intention. And I would say that to her face right now.’

During her time in seclusion, it was revealed Mrs Cole had struck up a close friendship with her ex-husband, cheating Chelsea footballer Ashley Cole - and had even spent the night at their former marital home in Hurtmore, Surrey.
Friends denied that they had shared a bed.

Eat your heart out Victoria Beckham! Presenting the eight-inch pair of Louboutins...

Eat your heart out Victoria Beckham! Presenting the eight-inch pair of Louboutins...  1
High feat: Christian Louboutin has designed a pair of eight-inch stilettos for a silent charity auction which closes at 10.30pm tonight to help raise funds for the English National Ballet


You can't turn the page of a magazine without seeing the likes of Victoria Beckham or Coleen Rooney teetering around in a pair of sky-high Christian Louboutins.

But now the 47-year-old, French shoe designer has taken height to the next level producing a pair of eight-inch, red-soled stilettos.

Based on the ballet shoe, the towering silk and Swarovski-encrusted heels are being auctioned off along with a number of other fashion wares to raise funds for the English National Ballet (ENB).

These are one of a number of unique lot items which have been specifically created by some of the leading names in fashion.

Designers including Erdem, Giles Deacon, Moschino, Roksanda Ilincic and Julien Macdonald have donated ballet-inspired pieces, modelled by professional dancers.

The current sale - which is hoped to raise over £50,000 for the ENB - comes following the Arts Council's decision to cut its grant by around £2 million.

Louboutin said: 'I could not help being inspired by English National Ballet... after all... isn’t the classical dancing ballet slipper the ultimate heel?

'The heel which makes dancers closer than any other women to the sky, closer to heaven!'

Without raising necessary funds the world famous ballet company will be forced to cutback performances and touring.

The Summer Party Silent Auction opened last Thursday and will close at 10.30pm tonight.

Roksanda Ilincic added: 'It was a challenge to develop an individual slant on a piece that’s so famous for looking a certain way but a challenge is always inspiring.

Centre stage: Giles Deacon's tutu is based on the character of the Black Swan in Swan Lake


'Also, I think every girl has her fantasy ballet tutu in mind so to have the opportunity to create has been magical.'

Founded in 1950 by Dame Alicia Markova and Sir Anton Dolin, the English National Ballet employs 65 dancers and a symphony orchestra.

There has traditionally been collaboration between ballet and fashion dating back to Coco Chanel

and dance director Sergei Diaghilev in the 1920s.

'I hate my babies and my older children are animals,' says Octomom Nadya Suleman

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

'I hate my babies and my older children are animals,' says Octomom Nadya Suleman  1
Love lost? Octomom's Nadya Suleman says that she 'hates' her eight babies and has called her older six children 'animals'


She is the mother of fourteen children, who gave birth to the longest surviving octuplets in U.S history.

But in disturbing comments sure to alarm social services, Octomom's Nadya Suleman has said she 'hates' her eight babies.

The 36-year-old single mother also calls her six older children 'animals'.

'I hate the babies, they disgust me,' she told InTouch magazine. 'My older six are animals, getting more and more out of control, because I have no time to properly discipline them.'

In a picture taking by the magazine, one child is seen eating dry-wall in her run-down home.

Suleman says that her dream of having a big family has now turned into her worst nightmare as she struggles to take care of her huge family.


'I hate my babies and my older children are animals,' says Octomom Nadya Suleman  2
Having a break? Suleman was seen today without her brood leaving the Howard Stern studios in New York City

'The only way I can cope is to lock myself in the bathroom and cry. Sometimes I sit there for hours and even eat my lunch sitting on the toilet floor. Anything to get peace and quiet,' she said.

The reality TV mother has even considered suicide.

'Some days I have thought about killing myself. I cannot cope,' she said.


'I hate my babies and my older children are animals,' says Octomom Nadya Suleman  3
Looking pleased: The mother-of-fourteen had a sly grin on her face as she left the Manhattan studios


In another breath, Suleman tries to insist that she still has love for her children, but says in hindsight she wishes that she never gave birth to any of them.

'Obviously I love them - but I absolutely wish I had not had them,' she said.

The reality TV mother is also in financial hot water, especially when it comes to her home in La Hambra, California.


'I hate my babies and my older children are animals,' says Octomom Nadya Suleman  4
Struggling: Suleman says that her dream of having a big family has now turned into her worst nightmare as she struggles to take care of her huge brood


Up until recently, Suleman has managed to avoid being kicked out of the property for months, even though she has been facing foreclosure since last year after failing to meet monthly payments.


But now the man who sold the property to Suleman's father Ed Doud has recoiled and taken serious actions to get her and her children removed.
The mother says she has not got a penny to her name and cannot even effort to put food on the table.
'My bank account is overdrawn by $300 and Have no money to pay for the children's school, food or the mortgage.'
Suleman, who is currently on unemployed and public assistance programs, may however have found a way to boost her income.
She recently filmed an episode of a new TV celebrity dating show called Celebridate, for the cable network HDNet.
The unusual star has admitted that, having never dated before, this is a big step for her.
She says that she has been celibate for 12 years and has only slept with an ex-boyfriend and the sperm donor of her children.
But there is no doubt that Suleman is confident of her ability to attract the other sex.
'Ever since I was little, I was aware that men wanted me and the hardest thing was keeping them away,' she said.
Celebridate, which premières in October, is to be hosted by Blind Date's Roger Lodge and will reportedly also feature Superman's Dean Cain.
Nadya delivered all eight of her octuplets, including two daughters and six sons in January 2009.
Before that she gave birth to all of her other six children, the first being a son called Elijah in 2001.
