The pictures that prove Kate isn’t pregnant

The pictures that prove Kate isn't pregnant

What baby bump? Kate showed off her extremely flat stomach last week.

The gossip mills have been working overtime, churning out rumours that the Duchess of Cambridge is pregnant with her first child.

Pictures of Kate touching her stomach have been held up as incontrovertible proof she is expecting, and a British MP’s comments about how a royal baby would be fabulous for the economy as good as confirmed the pregnancy in the eyes of the gossip magazines.

But how many pregnant women (or any women, for that matter) have stomachs as flat as the one Kate showed off at the Olympic cycling last week?

As Kate hugged William to celebrate another British gold medal, her shirt rode up, exposing inches of completely bump-free flesh. It certainly didn’t look like there was anything other than a very small salad hiding in her abdomen.

And then there’s Kate’s current penchant for champagne. The Duchess attends so many galas and soirees that she is rarely seen without a glass of bubbly.

Most recently she was snapped sipping away at a pre-Opening Ceremony event, something you can bet she wouldn’t do were she pregnant.

Perhaps more significant is that this is the Diamond Jubilee year, and Kate and other members of the royal family are under strict instructions not do anything to overshadow their matriarch the Queen in what is meant to be her finest hour.

William and Kate take their royal duty extremely seriously, and their schedule this year has been extremely punishing, including countless appearances around the UK and a tour of Malaysia, Singapore, the Solomon Islands and Tuvalu later this year.

There is, as royal watchers put it, simply no time in their busy calendars for a baby — at least until next year.

But no matter how much evidence there is to the contrary, the rumours Kate is pregnant will persist and one day — hopefully soon — they will be true.

Fans go wild for newly single Johnny Depp

Fans go wild for newly single Johnny Depp

Recently single Johnny Depp is back out in Hollywood and showing that he’s still got it.

The 49-year-old turned up at an Aerosmith concert at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on Monday night and was swamped by a sea of female fans.

But the A-lister, who separated from his partner of 14 years model Vanessa Paradis less than two months ago, wasn’t just there to enjoy the show — he soon became part of it.

He surprised the audience and celebrity guests Liv Tyler, Jim Carrey and Seth Green by jumping up on stage, grabbing a guitar and jamming with Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler to Train Kept a Rollin.

And the party didn’t stop there. Following the concert, Johnny and the band gathered their famous friends for an after-party at Harry Morton’s Pink Taco on Sunset Boulevard.

Wearing his signature black fedora, Johnny was all smiles as he signed autographs and chatted to adoring female fans.

Johnny has been spotted around Los Angeles since his split from Vanessa in late June and has been linked to his Rum Dairies co-star Amber Heard.

He briefly reunited with his 39-year-old ex last month for a family holiday in the south of France with the pair’s two children Lily Rose, 13, and Jack, 10.

Brange won’t be sending wedding invitations

Brange won't be sending wedding invitations

Access to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s upcoming wedding will be hard to come by — even for family members.

Although very few details have been released about the pair’s wedding plans, Ange’s cousin Martin Poucher has said the pair are being very selective about who will be asked.

“Trust me, there will be no wedding invitation,” he told Celebuzz.

“The family has joked about who will be invited.”

Although Martin doubts he will be on the guest list due to his distant relationship with Angelina, he is still “excited for them”.

Recent reports suggest the high profile couple are planning to tie the knot at their French estate, Chateau Miraval, in front of just 20 guests including their six kids, Maddox, 10, Pax, 9, Zahara, 7, Shiloh, 6, and four-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.

Brad, 48, also recently bought Ange a £250,000 ($370,000) watch as an early wedding present.

The piece is a Patek Philippe Minute Repeater, which normally takes up to two years to be delivered to customers.

Although there is no set date, the nuptials — which have reportedly been planned with precision by Brad — are set to take place before the end of this year.

Tom Cruise rents Disney Land castle for Suri

Suri Cruise already has the wardrobe of a princess and last week she got the fairy tale castle to match.
Suri Cruise Cinderella Castle

Suri Cruise already has the wardrobe of a princess and last week she got the fairy tale castle to match.

Suri, six, was treated to a night in Disney World’s famous Cinderella Castle Suite. The lavish room can’t be booked – instead Disney chooses who stays there. It is not known how much the chosen few pay for the privilege.

Tom has been a guest several times before, and is thought to have pulled a few strings to make his daughter’s princess dreams come true.

Tom and Suri haven’t seen much of each other since Katie Holmes filed for divorce in June. They spent their time at Disney World enjoying rides and shopping for souvenirs.

Tom and Suri stayed in Cinderella’s castle for a night.

Lucky guests receive a wake-up call from Cinderella herself.

The suite is modelled after a 17th century French chateau.

It has a private lift, a 24-hour concierge and other magical touches.

The suite was built as a vacation home for Walt Disney and his family.

Sadly, Disney died five years before the apartment was finished.

It lay deserted until 2006 when it was refurbished to its current standard.

Paris Jackson posts pic of bedside shrine to dad Michael

Paris Jackson tweets pic of bedside shrine to her dad Michael

Paris Jackson has created a shrine to her father Michael Jackson, covering her bedroom wall in pictures of him.

The 14-year-old took time out from the recent Jackson family drama to create the wall, which took her three hours.

“Someone commented on my pic saying “obsessed much?” yeaa u better believe it…A whole wall of his pics is the LEAST I could do,” she tweeted.

The collage includes numerous magazine and newspaper pictures, taken throughout the King of Pop’s career.

The creation of the shrine comes just a fortnight after a much publicised dispute Paris and her siblings had with other members of the Jackson family, including her aunt Janet, over the whereabouts of their grandmother Katherine.

The 83-year-old was out of contact with her grandchildren for 10 days after she was whisked away to a luxury spa in Arizona and cut off from technology.

Despite allegedly being “tricked” into going, Katherine has revealed that she will not take any legal action against her children.

“This chapter of chaos is closed, and we are supportive of family unity in spite of recent events and arguably poor decisions,” Perry Sanders, Katherine’s attorney, told TMZ about the events.

Oprah’s Bollywood diet!

Oprah's Bollywood diet!

Oprah has stepped out looking slimmed down and posted this picture of herself working out on Twitter.

The trimmed down star turns her back on Hollywood fad diets as she drops 15kg on a spicy new eating plan.

Oprah Winfrey has made no secret of her lifelong “war on wobble” with the scales fluctuating wildly throughout her career. But now the talk show queen has found a groundbreaking — and delicious — new way to shave off weight, and after shedding 15kg she’s looking better than ever! So what’s her secret?

The 58-year-old has not resorted to the latest Hollywood fad diet of poached chicken and wilted greens — instead she’s feasting on delicious Indian food. A source at her production company, who speaks to Oprah on a weekly basis, tells Woman’s Day that inspiration struck on a recent trip to the subcontinent.

“She fell in love with the taste of curried vegetables and other Indian fare while filming a segment for her TV show Oprah’s Next Chapter,” says our insider.

“She loves traditional vegetarian cooking, especially dishes based around spinach, cauliflower, peas or green beans. She sees it as ideal because she has always been looking for a way to make a diet stripped of dairy and red meat more interesting.”

Prince William dreads the ‘kiss cam’

Prince William dreads the 'kiss cam'

The nail-biting cycling events weren’t the only things making Prince William nervous at the London velodrome during the Olympics last week. The Duke of Cambridge has admitted he was scared of being put on the “dreaded” kiss cam with his wife Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge.

The loved-up royal pair, who are Olympic ambassadors, were photographed embracing during the celebration of the British Men’s Pursuit Team win, but managed to escape a very public kiss.

“I was absolutely dreading they were going to come and show myself and my wife, and that would have been very embarrassing,” Prince William told the BBC

Apart from the balcony kiss that they shared following their wedding, William and Kate rarely put on public displays affection.

During the interview, in which he was joined by his brother Prince Harry, Wills also revealed that they were very surprised by their grandmother’s part in the Olympics opening ceremony, where she performed alongside Bond star Daniel Craig.

“We were kept completely in the dark about it, that’s how big the secret was,” William said.

“She did such a good performance that she’s been asked to star in the next Bond film. I’m thrilled for her.”

Tom Cruise’s secret Katie files

Tom Cruise's secret Katie files

Her intimate confessions could give him information that may destroy her career.

The custody battle for Suri may be behind her, but Katie Holmes could face a whole new war against Tom Cruise — this time to save her reputation. Speculation is rife that Tom, 50, could be consolidating an arsenal of evidence that may discredit Katie, 33, professionally and personally.

Among it could be a file filled with Katie’s innermost thoughts, feelings and fears, procured during a Scientology confessional process known as “auditing”. According to reports in UK magazine Now, Katie’s friends are concerned her ex-hubby may have access to a dossier detailing her admissions.

“By the time you’ve had years of these sessions, your dossier will be expansive,” a source tells the magazine. “It essentially lays out your faults and issues. If made public that information could be damaging.” Carmen Llywelyn, the former wife of devout Scientologist and My Name Is Earl star Jason Lee, has spoken openly about the auditing experience.

“The church goes into your bedroom,” she told Access Hollywood. “When you’re going through the auditing process, if a question or a thought comes up that has to do with your husband or an intimate sexual detail, you are required to say it. I don’t want to get too gross, but [it would] have to do with sexual positions.”

Posh and Becks: We’ll have baby number 5!

Posh and Becks: We'll have baby number 5!

Friends say their once-strong relationship is on rocky ground, but David and Victoria are determined to fight for their marriage…and another baby may be just the solution.

When Victoria Beckham suggested last week that she and David were in talks to add to their brood, no-one was more shocked than their closest friends. For months, their inner circle had been helplessly standing by, witnessing what they believed was a once-perfect marriage slowly crumbling.

But when asked by US Glamour magazine recently if there were plans for a fifth baby Beckham, Victoria teasingly replied, “Never say never!” Sources in London, where the two are attending the Olympics, have even suggested they’re already trying to conceive. “They’ve always wanted five children to give them a family of seven — their lucky number,” a friend tells newspaper The Daily Star. “Both Victoria and David are very patriotic and would love it if she got pregnant while they’re in London for the Olympics. The other children were conceived overseas, so they’re hoping their final child will have a ‘Made in Britain’ tag.”

All the crowing about adding to the family is in stark contrast to the tattered relationship that several sources close to the couple have been describing to Woman’s Day. Just days after their 13th anniversary last month – during which, our insider says, David sank beers with a buddy while watching soccer rather than spoiling his wife — the UK’s golden couple stalked into a cocktail party wearing grim expressions.

Soon after arriving, David, 37, and Victoria, 38, proceeded to have a hissed argument in front of stunned guests. “She had a face like thunder and at one point turned and walked away from him,” a witness tells us exclusively. “He called after her loudly but she stormed off to the bathroom.” Insiders claim their public petulance has been a lot more than a minor bump in the road of their otherwise perfect marriage.
