Kirstie Alley strips down to leotard on Dancing With The Stars as last three put best foot forward ahead of finale

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Star turn: Kirstie Alley dressed in a long brown dress for her second spin with Maksim Chmerkovskiy on Dancing With The Stars last night


She may have got the lowest score of the night.

But Dancing With The Stars contestant Kirstie Alley certainly turned heads with her raunchy routine, which saw her strip down to a leotard.

The former Cheers actress defied her 60 years as she put on the sultry show during a freestyle dance with partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy.


Stripped: But there was a purpose to her covered up attire as she soon ripped it off to reveal a skin-tight black leotard


Kirstie initially swept onto the dance floor conservatively dressed in a long brown gown for her second spin with Maksim.

But there was a purpose to her covered up attire - because she wasn't planning on wearing it for long.

The actress proceeded to circle the floor to show off her slimmer frame after ripping off her costume.

But the move failed to wow the judges, who gave her and Maksim 27 points.

The Dancing With The Stars finale is just around the corner, and all three remaining stars certainly brought their A game ahead of it, last night.

With each required to perform two dances, the couples chose two very different styles for both the judges choice and freestyle rounds.

Michael Jackson's children spruce up in their smartest clothes for weekly worship with grandmother

By JODY THOMPSON

Well turned out: Prince Jackson got his collar straightened by a family friend before he entered the church at Woodland Hills, Los Angeles yesterday


Their grandparents have always been strictly religious - and it seems that Michael Jackson's children are now having to go to church on Sundays as part of their new 'normal' life.

Paris 13, Prince, 14 and Blanket, nine, were seen looking incredibly smart as they accompanied their grandmother Katherine Jackson, their legal guardian, to a Jehovah's Witness chapel at the weekend for worship.

Jackson himself was a Christian and had pledged to bring up his children with God in their lives and it looks like his family is continuing his wishes.


Tied back: A suit-wearing Blanket Jackson had his hair in a ponytail before he headed into the church


Blanket - real name Prince Michael Jackson II - even had his long hair tied back in a ponytail as a mark of respect as they prepared to join the Woodland Hills Congregation in Los Angeles.

He is said to have his hair that length in tribute to his father who liked it long.
Blanket was dressed in a very grown-up white shirt with a dark suit and tie that looked like he had a bit of room to grow into.


We are family: Paris Jackson, left, looked equally smart as she joined her brothers Prince and Blanket for the service


Prince - real name Michael Joseph Jackson Jr - meanwhile was seen getting the collar of his smart two-piece neatened up by a family friend.

Paris - real name Paris-Michael Katherine Jackson - meanwhile was in a modest black long-sleeve shift dress with white embroidery around the hem, collar and cuffs, worn with sandals.

Their father the King Of Pop died on 25 June 2009 aged 50 and the whole Jackson clan have been mucking in since to make their lives as normal as possible.


No flies on him: Prince brushes the last bits of lint from his shoulder before he prepares to enter the church with a friend


As well as going to church in public for the first time, they now go to school.
And as reported by the Mail Online last week, they also go to afterschool drama class near their LA home.

In February, the children gave an interview on U.S. television and said they even fancied following their late father into showbusiness.

However, 80-year-old grandmother Katherine, and their aunt La Toya, 54, who's closely involved in their upbringing, want them to live as normal a life as possible before any attempt to launch themselves fully into the public eye.


Family fun: The children were seen leaving an afterschool drama class in LA last week


La Toya said in March: said of her nephews and niece in March: ‘They have gone to school and they really like it, so I’m very happy for them. It’s taught them something totally different about people and life.'

She also revealed they recently donated clothes to help Japanese earthquake and tsunami victims.

She said: They said they don’t mind doing and giving whatever. It was so sweet. They say, ‘Can we give our clothes to them?’ It’s really sweet.”

LaToya explained: 'My brother, their father, was just giving to everybody – $400 million of his personal money he gave to charity, and I support every penny of it.

'I think it’s very important for them to know what their father has done and to follow that legacy and to keep in their heart and mind to give always.'

Football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo takes charge of his baby son... and girlfriend Irina Shayk gets a cuddle too

By SARAH BULL


Like father, like son: Cristiano Ronaldo has been pictured for the first time out with his son Cristiano Ronaldo Jr


Cristiano Ronaldo has been pictured for the first time with his baby son Cristiano on a day out in Portugal over the weekend.

And, in the first shots of 10-month-old Cristiano, the resemblance between the father and son is uncanny.

With a head of downy black hair and olive skin, little Cristiano looked adorable as he was carried by his proud father.

The baby also appeared to have taken after his father in terms of his love of designer fashion, as he was wearing a Burberry checked shirt, denim jacket and matching Burberry baseball cap - which he wore backwards to make it more trendy.


Cute: The 10-month-old baby was the spitting image of his football superstar father, in his Burberry shirt and matching denim baseball cap, which he wore backwards


Also on the outing was Ronaldo's girlfriend Irina Shayk, who looked chic in a tight pair of grey trousers, black vest top and white blazer jacket.

And it seems Russian model Irina has adapted well to the family style of life, as she was seen cuddling up to her boyfriend's super-cute son in the back of the car.

Irina has remained loyal to Ronaldo despite the revelation last year that he had become a father. The baby was allegedly born to a 20-year-old British student following a fling with the star after they met in a London club.


Chic: Ronaldo's girlfriend Irina Shayk joined the football on the day out in Portugal, and looked stylish in a pair of tight grey trousers teamed with a black vest top and white blazer jacket


My turn for a cuddle: Irina keeps a tight grip of Cristiano as they head home, with Ronaldo keeping a protective eye over the pair


The Portuguese star stunned the world when he announced out of the blue last July that he had become a father.

The winger said from the start that the child would be under his 'exclusive guardianship'. But his mother Dolores is helping to raise the child.

After announcing the birth on Facebook, Ronaldo wrote: 'It is with great joy and emotion that I inform I have recently become father to a baby boy.


Cuddling up: Irina and Ronaldo were seen enjoying a romantic day out in Portugal over the weekend


'As agreed with the baby’s mother, who prefers to have her identity kept confidential, my son will be under my exclusive guardianship.'

And while Ronaldo's mother Dolores is essentially raising the baby between Madrid and Portugal due to the football star's career commitments, Ronaldo spoke recently about how his life had been affected by becoming a father.


Taking in the scenery: The pair enjoyed the sights and sounds in Ronaldo's home country


He said recently: 'Of course something like this affects you. It's a different type of responsibility.

'Maybe I feel more comfortable. I'm comfortable when things are going well: my family, the club, my friends, that gives me important support for everything else.

'Of course I change the nappies. It's not the thing I like best in the world, but I do it.'

Teen dreams: Shirtless Justin Bieber and sweetheart Selena Gomez head to the beach in Maui

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Shirtless: The teen singer wore a pair of bath shorts teamed with flip flops while Selena donned a pink bikini top and Daisy Dukes


After winning six gongs at the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday night, it looks like Justin Bieber has decided he deserves a holiday.

The 17-year-old pop star was pictured heading to the beach in Hawaii yesterday after jetting to Hawaii with girlfriend Selena Gomez.

Stripped to the waist, the Canadian star showed off his rock hard stomach in a pair of bathing shorts teamed with flip flops and white sunglasses.

Selena, meanwhile, was wearing a pink bikini top and Daisy Dukes, and was carrying a leopard print bag as she took a walk with her other half.

Als on show was a new tattoo on Bieber's toros under his arm, in addition to one he got when was 16 of a bird on his waistline.

Earlier the young couple were spotted arriving to Maui hand in hand after taking a flight from Los Angeles LAX.


Body art: Bieber showed off a new tattoo - a row of mysterious symbols under his left arm - in addition to the bird etching on his waistline


Justin and Selena, 18, went fully public with their romance at the awards show in Las Vegas - sharing kisses and hugs in the audience.

The young lovebirds smooched as Bieber picked up his six awards and dominated the star-studded ceremony.

Gomez appeared to be making a good impression on her boyfriend's family, as she sat with her arm around Bieber's mother, Pattie Mallette.

She was, however, notably absent from her beau's two acceptance speeches.
Bieber, who was wearing a gold tuxedo jacket, grinned as he took home six awards during Sunday's ceremony.


Holiday time: Justin and Selena arrived at the airport hand in hand for their romantic holiday together


The pint-size pop star shared a slightly awkward hug with Gomez as his name was read out as the winner of digital artist of the year.

He thanked his family, his fans, manager Scooter Braun and Usher - who signed the youngster to his record label and turned him into a superstar.

'Basically everyone who helped me get out of my hometown and live my dream,' he said.

Young love: The pair were dressed casually as they arrived in Maui


Bieber and Gomez made up for their awkward moment as the former YouTube sensation was named the top new artist of the year.

Bieber leaned in for a passionate kiss with his girlfriend and she beamed with delight as she watch her man on stage.

The Canadian pop sensation thanked 'god' as he picked up his second award and paid tribute to his proud mother.

'Mom - you've been amazing. You've been travelling with me, putting up with all my crap,' he said.

Bieber also won awards for top pop album, top streaming artist, top song and top social media artist.

Meanwhile, the first trailer for Bieber's women's fragrance Someday has been revealed.

Flying high: In the trailer, the pair are seen floating around in the sky


The advert, which has been labelled 'ridiculous' by some, sees a young girl spray the fragrance on her neck, at which point Bieber appears next to her before whisking her up into the sky and flying through the air.

Talking about the fragrance recently, Bieber told WWD: 'Let’s be real, the way a girl smells is very important to a guy!

'I have such a deep connection with my fans, so creating a fragrance that I personally love is another way I can bring them closer to my world.'

So will philandering Giggs' patient wife Stacey forgive him yet again?

By ALISON BOSHOFF


Serene: Stacey with husband Ryan Giggs at the awards last Thursday


The confession, made nearly two weeks ago at their enormous mock-Tudor mansion outside Manchester, must have been painful to make and worse still to hear.

But proudly standing by Ryan Giggs at the Manchester United Player of the Year awards last Thursday, his wife Stacey Cooke appeared serenely untroubled.

Her hair was just so, and her lipstick a perfectly executed slash of vampish red.

You would hardly have known that a bombshell had just been detonated under her pretty nose – that her husband was being accused of having a six-month fling with former Big Brother contestant Imogen Thomas.


Ex marks the spot: Ryan Giggs had an intense romance with TV presenter Dani Behr (left) and dated former PR girl Caroline Stanbury


She was well aware, of course, that all eyes would be on her – and that everyone in the room would know her husband was the Premier League footballer who had taken out an injunction.

It remains to be seen whether she will leave him, taking with her a slice of Giggs’s £25million fortune and their two adorable children.

He swears that the story is not true in many respects.

And the fact is that she is still with him. His Bentley remains unmolested in the garage, and she has not taken the scissors to his collection of Dolce and Gabbana suits.

Why? Well, while the rest of us may think of Ryan Giggs in terms of his public image – as a successful footballer who has been impeccably loyal to Manchester United and so on – it seems that his wife might have long suspected that there is another, darker side to him. Indeed the Imogen Thomas brouhaha is by no means the first time that she has had cause to believe her husband has not been faithful.


Celebration: Ryan Giggs with son Zach at Old Trafford after he collected his 12 Premier League winners medal for Manchester United


Ryan Giggs has earned a reputation as a womaniser, so his fling with Imogen Thomas, pictured yesterday, left, will come as no surprise to some. Wife Stacey Cooke, right, even once kicked him out over an alleged fling


‘He’s still very much the social leader, always the life and soul of the party. He just makes sure he does it behind closed doors now.’

Giggs’s agent Harry Swales remains amazed by talk of infidelity, saying: ‘I can’t believe it, he’s such a family man.’


Medal of honour: Ryan Giggs was given an OBE - Officer of the Order of the British Empire - in 2007


The footballer has certainly tried very hard to keep it secret – and he could argue that this has been done to spare his family pain. His children are still young – Liberty is eight and Zach just four.

While there might be a melancholy atmosphere behind doors at their mansion in Worsley, which features a glass tower and an indoor pool, complete with a Welsh Dragon design on the tiles, perhaps it’s not the end for Ryan and Stacey.

One associate of the couple said last night: ‘He still promises that the story is false, and she loves him.’

The Prince and the President: William greets Obama and Michelle at the Palace as tanned Kate takes to Royal duties like a natural

By JAMES WHITE

Newlyweds: Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge, back from their honeymoon, meet with the First couple inside Buckingham Palace


President and First Lady flew to London a day early due to ash cloud fears

Just third state visit by U.S. President to Britain in 100 years

Obama and Cameron vow to support 'Arab Spring' uprising


Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge today welcomed the President of the United States to Buckingham Palace in their first big test as a Royal couple.

Fresh from their Seychelles honeymoon, a well-tanned Duchess of Cambridge performed her Royal duties with aplomb as she spoke to Mr and Mrs Obama in a 10-minute private meeting.

There were smiles all round moments earlier when the Obamas arrived at Buckingham Palace and were met by the Queen and Prince Philip.


Sorry we couldn't make the wedding: The couples chat and no doubt the recent Royal marriage ceremony was a topic of conversation



Friendly: The couples met before President Obama was the subject of a 41-gun salute


They arrived in the Presidential limousine known as The Beast, which pulled into the front of Buckingham Palace just before noon.

After the meeting of the heads of state, the Obamas spent about 10 minutes speaking with Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge, before meeting more Royal figures.

Senior members of the Queen's household were introduced to the Obamas in the Bow room.

Among them were the Queen's private secretary Christopher Geidt, her treasurer Sir Alan Reed, master of the household Air Vice Marshall David Walker, and the Lord Chamberlain Earl Peel.

Others who met the president and his wife included Brigadier Archie Miller-Bakewell, Philip's private secretary, Lieutenant Colonel Andrew Ford, comptroller of the Lord Chamberlain's Office, and a number of ladies-in-waiting to the Queen including Virginia Ogilvy, Countess of Airlie.

The Obamas were then taken to Buckingham Palace Gardens where they faced with a guard of honour, 101 soldiers from the 1st Battalion, Scots Guards, and three officers lined up in two rows. Behind them were the Band, Pipes and Drums of the Scots Guard.

The air was shattered by the noise of booming gunfire as a 41-gun salute was begun by the King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery in nearby Green Park while simultaneously at the Tower of London another was fired by the Honourable Artillery Company.

The guardsmen gave a royal salute and then the American national anthem was played in honour of the US president.


Hold on to your hats! The windy weather plays havoc with the Royal party



Ceremonial welcome: The Obamas are joined by members of the Royal Family to hear the U.S. national anthem


The British National Anthem was not performed as the Queen is in residence at the palace and so it was needed to mark her arrival at the historic building.

Major Rory Shannon, in command of the guard of honour, approached the heads of state and formally stated that the troops were ready for inspection. Mr Obama, with the Duke, then walked down the terrace steps to the waiting soldiers in their bearskins and scarlet tunics.

The major escorted the president along the two lines of guardsmen as Philip followed a pace behind.

The U.S. leader could be seen exchanging words with the senior officer as they passed the troops who, when not performing ceremonial duties, are fighting soldiers.

Protection: The heavily-armoured Presidential limousine arrives at Buckingham Palace


At the end of the inspection, Mr Obama took his place beside the Queen and watched as the guardsmen marched off before the party headed inside for lunch.

Earlier the President declared the UK-U.S. partnership 'an essential relationship for us and for the world'.

But he began his visit today by making a solemn statement about the loss of life in Joplin, Missouri, where a tornado claimed 116 lives on Sunday night.

The U.S. president flew into Stansted airport ahead of schedule last night to avoid the possibility of disruption to air travel from the ash cloud from an erupting Icelandic volcano.

He had been due to fly from Ireland on board Air Force One this morning to be greeted at the Essex airport by the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall.

But the decision was taken to bring forward the visit after the announcement of cancellations to some UK commercial flights due to the ash billowing from the Grimsvotn volcano - with more disruption expected in the days to come.

The state visit - only the third by a U.S. president to the UK in 100 years - comes at a time of close co-operation between Britain and America on issues ranging from Libya to Afghanistan, counter-terrorism and the Middle East peace process.

This strong partnership was reflected in a joint article written by Mr Obama and Prime Minister David Cameron for The Times, in which they declare: 'Ours is not just a special relationship, it is an essential relationship - for us and for the world.'

After his early arrival, Mr Obama was spending the night in the US ambassador's residence in London, Winfield House in Regent's Park.


Solemn: Barack Obama began his British visit today by making a statement about the appalling loss of life in Joplin, Missouri, where a tornado left at least 116 people dead


Despite the hasty change to their planned schedule, Mr Obama and wife Michelle were still given the formal welcome expected of a state visit.

They were greeted by the Lord in Waiting Viscount Brookeborough, who met them on behalf of the Queen.

Instead of a traditional red carpet they left the plane on special red-carpeted stairs because of windy conditions at the airport.

Later today the Obamas will view the royal picture gallery before a wreath-laying visit to Westminster Abbey and a state banquet in the evening.

The couple will stay as guests of the Queen at Buckingham Palace tonight and tomorrow.

Tomorrow will be devoted to politics, with talks between Mr Obama and Mr Cameron at 10 Downing Street, followed by an address to both Houses of Parliament, in which the president is expected to say that the US has no closer ally in the world than Britain.

In their joint article, Mr Obama and Mr Cameron put the transatlantic partnership at the heart of the drive for global stability and prosperity.


Hello Britain: President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle step off Air Force One as they arrive at London Stansted Airport last night

'When the United States and Britain stand together, our people and people around the world can become more secure and more prosperous,' they wrote.

'And that is the key to our relationship. Yes, it is founded on a deep emotional connection, by sentiment and ties of people and culture.

'But the reason it thrives, the reason why this is such a natural partnership, is because it advances our common interests and shared values.

'It is a perfect alignment of what we both need and what we both believe. And the reason it remains strong is because it delivers time and again.

'Ours is not just a special relationship, it is an essential relationship - for us and for the world.'

They also promised not to abandon the protesters fighting for democracy in the 'Arab Spring'.


Flying the flag: British and American colours stand along The Mall leading to Buckingham Palace in preparation for the visit


'We will not stand by as their aspirations get crushed in a hail of bombs, bullets and mortar fire,' said the two leaders.

'We are reluctant to use force, but when our interests and values come together, we know we have a responsibility to act...

'We will stand with those who want to bring light into dark, support those who seek freedom in place of repression, aid those laying the building blocks of democracy.'

It comes after Foreign Secretary William Hague and US secretary of state Hillary Clinton sent out a message to Syria's President Bashar Assad to halt his regime's repression of pro-democracy activists.

Speaking to American reporters shortly before Mr Obama's arrival, Mr Cameron said there was 'an incredible alignment of views' between his administration and the White House on key global issues, including the military mission in Libya, the uprisings of the Arab Spring, Afghanistan and Pakistan.



'Smile, honey. We'll be meeting the Queen and that hat cost a lot of money.'


And he paid lavish tribute to Mr Obama's style, saying that as well as being 'courageous' over issues such as Osama bin Laden, he was also 'thoughtful, measured and serious'.

The current closeness of the UK-U.S. relationship was remarked upon at a joint press conference following talks between Mr Hague and Mrs Clinton at the Foreign Office.

Mrs Clinton joked: 'If there were any closer alignment, we would worry about each other.'

The two leaders are expected to drop in on a barbecue being hosted by their wives Michelle and Samantha for families of military personnel involved in joint UK-U.S. missions overseas.

Mr Obama is due to travel on to France on Thursday morning for the G8 summit of leading industrialised nations in Deauville, also being attended by Mr Cameron.

'I missed my favourite meal': David Beckham tucks into pie and mash as soon as he jets into London.. but his boys like U.S. food

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Much missed dish: David Beckham enjoyed a meal of pie and mash when he landed in London earlier today. He posted a picture to his Facebook page


His boys have adapted well to their lives Stateside and appear to like nothing more than tucking into local foods.

But while David Beckham might love his life out in sunny L.A. when he is back home he likes nothing more than tucking into traditional British fare.

The footballer arrived in London this morning and wasted no time sourcing his most-desired local dish.


Delicious: David and Victoria Beckham's son Brooklyn, 12, was seen enjoying a slice of cheesy pizza as he watched his dad play for LA Galaxy


David posted a picture of himself enjoying the comfort food and said: 'Landed back in London this morning. Missed my favourite meal, so headed straight for some pie and mash. Heading upto Manchester tomorrow, can't wait.'

While Beckham might miss British food it seems that his boys have developed a taste for American food and were seen enjoying three different dishes earlier this week.

Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz were all seen tucking into some tasty treats which are virtually staples at American football games as they watched their dad play for LA Galaxy.

While Brooklyn, 12, appeared to be enjoying a slice of cheesy pizza, Romeo, eight, wolfed down some blue candy floss, and six-year-old Cruz seemed to like his hot dog.


Tasty: Romeo (left) and Cruz certainly seemed to be enjoying their candy floss


Meanwhile, as Victoria keeps busy with her fashion range during her last few weeks of pregnancy, David has also got some new fashion plans himself.

The 36-year-old sportsman has announced his plans to launch his own male underwear range.

David fronted the Emporio Armani underwear campaign in 2007, appearing on giant billboards and magazine spreads, which resulted in a doubling of profits for the Italian company in one year, from around £14.1 million to £38.7 million.


My favourite! Cruz, six, tucked into a hot dog as he watched the match


His Armani experience gave him insight into the fashion industry and he soon spotted a gap in the market for well-cut T-shirts and fitted boxer shorts.

He said: 'I have had the idea of doing a bodywear collection for some time now.

'The push to do something of my own really came as a result of my collaboration with Armani.

'It proved to me that there is a real market for good-looking, well-made men's bodywear.'
