Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ five-year marriage is officially over, with a New York judge finalising their divorce yesterday.

The couple’s high profile union was dissolved in a Manhattan courthouse just seven weeks after Katie filed divorce papers.

Katie cited “irreconcilable differences” at the reason for the split, and asked for sole legal custody of the couple’s six-year-old daughter Suri.

Tom, Katie and their legal teams met days after the documents were filed to hammer out a divorce settlement and custody arrangement.

Tom, 50, agreed to let his estranged wife have primary residential custody of Suri and consented to a generous child support payment.

Katie will also walk away from the marriage with a portion of the couple’s sizeable property portfolio and a “good will payment” of several million dollars as a reward for the speedy settlement.

It is Katie’s first divorce, and Tom’s third. He split from his first wife Mimi Rogers in 1990 and his second wife Nicole Kidman in 2001.

Prince Harry ‘nude pictures’ published online

Prince Harry 'nude pictures' published online

Has partying Prince Harry gone back to his wild ways? The 27-year-old playboy was snapped completely naked at a bash in Las Vegas last week.

The photos were reportedly taken in a hotel VIP suite where Harry was playing a game of strip billiards with a group of friends and some girls they’d met at a bar earlier that night.

US entertainment website TMZ has published several of the images online. In one, Harry is seen cupping his genitals as a topless woman stands behind him.

In another, the prince is naked and bear-hugging an apparently equally nude woman from behind.

It seems the young royal is certainly living it up, with video emerging of him chatting to bikini-clad girls and racing US swimmer and Olympic gold medalist Ryan Lochte at a pool party.

Harry also attended a party at MGM Grand’s West Republic club to celebrate the launch of Jennifer Lopez’s new tour.

There was no immediate word on whether the pictures were in fact of the prince, but Clarence House has since confirmed that the naked images published on the internet are indeed of him.

In one image, Harry is cupping his genitals while a seemingly nude woman hides behind him.

In another, he is embracing a naked woman from behind, again completely nude.

“Prince Harry’s spokesman at Clarence House has confirmed to MailOnline this morning that the pictures are genuine, but said they would not be commenting on them,” the newspaper’s website reported.

Easy-to-follow celebrity health and beauty tips

Easy-to-follow celebrity health and beauty tips

Celebrities often step out looking flawless, so we are happy to report that their health and beauty secrets aren’t as difficult to follow as you may think!

Take a look at these celebrity tips on everything from puffy eyes to gorgeous looking legs.

Balance your lifestyle

She was once ashamed of her curves, but today Sofia Vergara is embracing them! The actress says the secret to keeping yourself looking slim is all about moderation.

“Not too much food, not too much exercise, not too much anything. Everything in moderation. And of course, wearing sun block, doing the things that your dermatologist tells you to do — that helps with the aging process,” she told Fox News.

Making time to exercise

Like most of us, Michelle Obama has a lot on her plate. But the first lady and mother-of-two makes it a priority to get her daily work out in.

She told Village that she hits the gym at about 4.30am to make sure she works out before her children wake up. And what if she is on the road? She takes along a skipping rope!

Long lashes

Jessica Alba says she has one beauty must.

“Always curl your lashes, even when you don’t have mascara,” she told Allure magazine.

“I usually don’t use mascara that much unless I’m looking really tired and puffy-eyed. I curl my eyelashes and brush a little mascara on the tips.”

lovely legs

Christina Hendricks opened up to Marie Claire magazine about how she prepares to show her bare skin on screen.

“If my legs are showing, the makeup artist adds a tiny amount of foundation to body lotion and rubs it in. Now if I have an event to go to, I’ll buy CoverGirl foundation and mix it in with my lotion.” she said.

The perfect smile

Julia Roberts has one of the best smiles in Hollywood, so it’s no surprise that her beauty tip is all about her best asset.

“I brush [my teeth] with baking soda. [My grandfather] would put a big heaping mound of it on his toothbrush. He had only one cavity in his entire life,” she told InStyle magazine.

glowing hair

Kate Middleton is known for her long, often perfectly blow dried, locks.

The young royal has her hair cut every eight to 12 weeks and uses organic vegetable-based hair dye.

What to eat, what not to eat

Beyonce told Elle magazine that she would never do a crash diet again, after she went on a Master Cleanse for her role in Dream Girls. She said there are much better ways to lose weight.

“Well, I don’t eat pasta every day. I’m not trying to lose or gain weight, but I do have to work out and watch what I eat. I’m not someone who can go crazy. I’ll usually have cereal for breakfast and a salad for lunch and a light dinner, and then on Sundays I’ll allow myself to have whatever I want,” she said.

elegant eyes

Jennifer Aniston knows that her eyes are one of her best features, so how does she keep them wrinkle free?

Every night the actress places Vaseline under her eyes as part of her daily beauty regime. In the morning she then fills the sink with water and ice cubes and dips her face in to shrink her pores and reduce puffiness around her eyes.

Prince Philip discharged from hospital

Prince Philip discharged from hospital

Prince Philip has been discharged from hospital after being treated for a recurring bladder infection.

The Duke of Edinburgh, who spent five days at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary in Scotland, seemed to be in good spirits as he shook hands and joked with staff before getting into a waiting Range Rover.

“The Duke was a very good patient,” senior staff nurse Denise Webster said. “As he left the hospital he told staff to behave themselves and he said he was going back to enjoy the rest of his holiday.”

The 91-year-old was first hospitalised for the bladder infection during the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations in early June.

He was then forced to cut short his holiday at the royal family’s Balmoral estate when he was taken to hospital by ambulance last Wednesday. Buckingham Palace said he had since returned to his annual summer break with his family.

The Duke’s hospitalisation was his third health scare in the space of eight months. The Queen is set to attend the Opening Ceremony of the Paralympic Games on August 29, but there is no word yet on whether Prince Philip will be joining his wife.

Sam Stynes: If Jim hadn’t died, we might have split

Sam Stynes: If Jim hadn't died, we might have split

AFL legend Jim Stynes’ widow Sam has opened up about their marriage in an emotional TV interview.

Jim died in March after a three-year battle with cancer. He was 45 years old and widely regarded as one of the nicest men in sport.

But Sam says life with Jim wasn’t always easy, and she isn’t sure their marriage would have lasted had Jim not been diagnosed with a terminal illness.

“We joked that if Jim didn’t get sick we could’ve ended up divorced,” Sam told A Current Affair last night.

“It was definitely a possibility, however, I think that what always kept us together and that’s why I married Jim, as well as loving him it comes back to Jim’s Catholic religion.

“Once he commits to something he sticks it out, and when times were tough he was like ‘We’ll just keep working at it, we’ll stick it out’, and that’s what we did.”

Sam says this determination was sometimes interpreted as selfishness, but insists Jim needed to be selfish to manage his busy schedule of public engagements.

“Jim’s closest friends, all in good humour, would say that Jim was a selfish prick,” Sam said. “But it was selfishness that you have to have to go out into the community and do what he did.

“He was a phenomenal man and I don’t think he was put on this earth to just not do much with his life. He was here to work with youth in the community and do good things.”

Jim and Sam had two young children, daughter Matisse and son Tiernan. His autobiography Jim Stynes – My Journey is on sale now.
