Olympic PDA for Kate and Wills

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are certainly getting into the Olympic spirit and couldn’t contain their excitement when Britain took out gold in the cycling event.

In a rare display of public affection, Wills and Kate embraced and cheered as they watched the British men’s cycling team break a world record in their qualifying round and go on to win gold.

Joined by Prince Harry and Sophie, Countess of Wessex, the young royals spent the afternoon at the velodrome enjoying the fun, and even took part in a Mexican wave with the crowd, which included British Prime Minister David Cameron.

Beckham lights up Dover Cliffs

British women got a rare treat last night when giant images of David Beckham dressed only in his underwear were projected across the White Cliffs of Dover.

The images, which were so large they were visible from France, were to promote the football star’s ‘David Beckham Bodywear’ collection, which he is launching with Swedish brand H&M.

Although brief, the stunt certainly got people talking on Twitter. The hashtag #beckhamsbriefsofdover soon started trending with one Twitter user cheekily tweeting “Rock climbing anyone?”

Marketing coordinator for H&M Christopher Seychell said of the campaign: “We’ve never worked with such big briefs”.

The sad face of Monaco’s Princess Charlene

Princess Charlene caused a major scandal last year when she was reportedly caught trying to flee Monaco just days before her lavish wedding to Prince Albert.

She sobbed throughout her big day and spent her honeymoon in a different hotel from her new husband, but has repeatedly denied she is unhappy.

Last month, Albert and Charlene celebrated their first wedding anniversary but rumours their relationship is on the rocks persist.

What do you think about the royal couple? Are they unhappy, or just misunderstood?

Robyn Lawley: Plus-sized and proud

At size 16, Robyn Lawley is four sizes bigger than most fashion models, but that hasn't stopped her launching a career half the super-skinny set are jealous of.
Robyn Lawley

At size 16, Robyn Lawley is four sizes bigger than most fashion models, but that hasn’t stopped her launching a career half the super-skinny set are jealous of.

Robyn, 23, was born in western Sydney and started her career as a “straight size” model. The pressure to be thin was too much and after a year she quit, unable to maintain the size 8 figure required.

Instead, she signed with a plus-size agency and has never looked back. She is now one of the world’s most in-demand models and this week became the first plus-size model to star in a Ralph Lauren campaign.

Here are our favourite pictures of the Australian beauty.

Tom Cruise takes Suri to Walt Disney World

Tom Cruise takes Suri to Walt Disney World

Picture: Twitter @AlexFeoli

Tom Cruise has been spending some quality daddy-daughter time with Suri, taking the six-year-old to Walt Disney World in Florida.

Just weeks after his divorce from Katie Holmes, the 50-year-old star strolled through the park hand-in-hand with his daughter, who was dressed up as Ariel from Disney’s The Little Mermaid, and alongside his sister Cass Mapother.

A number of visitors to the park spotted the star, with Marianne Cohen of Tampa telling People magazine that Suri “looked like she was in heaven”.

“It was really cute. She was walking around like she owned the place, having the time of her life, and Tom, who looked really handsome, was talking to her, was really engaging with her,” she said.

Numerous fans took to Twitter, posting pictures of their celebrity sighting.

Since the announcement on June 29 that Katie was filing for divorce from Tom, Suri has been mostly spotted out and about with her mum taking in the sights of New York, while Tom was busy working on his new film Oblivion.

Tom and Suri were reunited a month after the divorce and have been snapped spending one-on-one time together on a couple of occasions, including a helicopter ride to the Hamptons for the afternoon.

Leisel Jones: An amazing career in pictures

Leisel Jones might not be going home from London with a medal, but she's still got plenty to be proud of.
Leisel Jones

Leisel Jones might not be going home from London with an individual medal, but she’s still got plenty to be proud of.

Just days after critics accused her of being too fat, the 26-year-old swimmer qualified for the 100m breaststroke final and finished a very respectable fifth.

This is Leisel’s fourth and last Olympics. She was just 15 when she made her Games debut in 2000, and has since blossomed into one of our greatest swimmers, winning three gold medals, four silver and a bronze.

Here are some pictures from Leisel’s remarkable career.
