Nigella Lawson weight loss

Nigella Lawson’s voluptuous figure made her an international sex symbol almost overnight, but there’s now a lot less of the star for fans to love.

The celebrity chef, 53, has showed off her dramatically slimmer figure in promotional pictures for her new US cooking show The Taste, which premieres on January 22.

Nigella has always insisted she doesn’t want to be “thin” because being healthy was much more important.

Despite this, she has slimmed down dramatically in the past six months, going from a size 16 to a slender size 12.

George Clooney bed hops with Cindy Crawford in new ad

George Clooney bed hops with Cindy Crawford in new ad

George Clooney loved doing his latest advertising campaign – and not just because he was paid big bucks!

In the campaign to promote Casamigos tequila, a brand launched by Cindy Crawford’s husband Rande Gerber, the actor gets to hop in the sack with the supermodel herself.

Both Rande and George’s girlfriend Stacey Keibler also make an appearance in the ad, which involves the foursome bed hopping and getting caught between the sheets with the wrong partner, thanks to drinking the tequila.

The tongue-in-cheek advertisement is finished with the tagline: “It could happen, please drink responsibly” and was written and produced by Clooney himself.

George is a regular in cheeky advertisements for Nespresso, and also starred in an ad for a Norwegian bank.

George and his partner Stacey have been friends with Rande and Cindy for years and are often spotted holidaying with the pair at their Mexican retreat.

Lily Allen welcomes baby number two

Lily Allen welcomes baby number two

Congratulations to Lily Allen and Sam Cooper! The pair have welcomed their second child, a girl named Marnie Rose Cooper.

Lily is said to be overjoyed with the arrival, not only because she has a new bundle of joy, but also because her new daughter shares the same birthday as her musical heroes David Bowie and Elvis Presley.

The 27-year-old, who gave birth on Tuesday night, is said to be in good health and enjoying time with both her newborn and her 14-month-old daughter Ethel.

“Marnie is a real cutie. Sam and Lily are ecstatic about adding another girl to the family. A little sister for Ethel is brilliant news to lift the January blues for the family,” a source told UK newspaper The Sun.

Shortly before the birth, Lily was trying to bring on labour by eating curry, posting to her Twitter account, “third curry this week”.

She also tweeted that she was going to give birth while listening to heavy metal music.

“My husband is currently making me a Pantera mix cd to take to the birthing suite. #cute”, she posted.

Rosie O’Donnell welcomes her fifth child

Rosie O’Donnell welcomes her fifth child

She surprised the world when she announced she had tied the knot, and now Rosie O’Donnell has done it again, revealing that she and wife Michelle Rounds have welcomed a baby girl.

Announcing the news via Instagram, Rosie shared the first shot of their adopted baby girl.

“We are thrilled to announce the arrival of our daughter Dakota,” she wrote alongside the image.

“Mums and baby are healthy and happy,” a representative also confirmed to the MailOnline.

Rosie, who has four children with her ex-wife Kelli Carpenter, married Michelle in a secret ceremony last August.

The little arrival is certainly happy news for the pair, who have both undergone significant health scares in the past year. Michelle was diagnosed with a rare cancer and, not long after, Rosie suffered a heart attack.

The pair, who are now back in good health, have excitedly welcomed their new daughter and are planning a bigger wedding before family and friends later this year.

Happy birthday Kate! Duchess turns 31 today

She’s never been much of a party girl, but the pregnant Duchess of Cambridge is expected to have an even quieter birthday than usual this year.

Kate turns 31 today, and will reportedly mark the occasion with a simple dinner at home with her husband William.

It has been a draining few weeks for Kate, who is suffering hyperemesis gravidarum, a rare complication of pregnancy that causes severe and prolonged nausea and vomiting.

In honour of Kate’s big day, here are our favourite pictures of the Duchess from the past year.

Radiant Zara Phillips denies pregnancy on Gold Coast

She was positively glowing and wearing a series of suspiciously baggy outfits, but Zara Phillips has denied she is expecting the next royal baby.
Zara Phillips

She is positively glowing and wearing a series of suspiciously baggy outfits, but Zara Phillips has denied she is expecting the next royal baby.

The Queen’s granddaughter is on the Gold Coast promoting the Magic Millions racing carnival and her radiant complexion and aversion to figure-hugging clothing had reporters falling over themselves to ask if she was pregnant.

“No,” Zara emphatically answered. “When you’re going out, everyone is ‘When are you getting married’, then it’s ‘When are you having kids’. In the future we’ll see what happens.”

Zara’s loose-fitting shirt had tongues wagging.

Her baggy cocktail dress only fuelled pregnancy rumours.
