Chris Evans doesn't look too impressed after Vanessa Feltz crashes into his £300,000 Ferrari

He's a proud collector of Ferraris, and has a fleet of the luxury cars to choose from when he heads out for the day.

But Chris Evans may have been left regretting his decision to take his £300,000 Ferrari 599 GTO for a spin this morning, after a fender bender which left the vehicle scratched and damaged.

However, rather than a unaware member of the public causing the damage, the guilty party was actually fellow radio DJ Vanessa Feltz, who accidentally backed her white mini into the Ferrari twice as she pulled out of a tight spot in the car park after finishing her Radio 2 show.

Evans, 44, tried to hide his shock as he clapped eyes on the silver and yellow super-car, which had huge scratchmarks on the front bumper.
Damage: The crash left the front of the car scratched and damaged

Apparently, Feltz remained completely unaware about what she had done, and headed home after the minor crash.

Evans is such a fan of the Italian supercars that he has a vast collection of the vehicles.

In the summer last year, Evans splashed out on a £12million Ferrari 250 GT to celebrate the success of his show on Radio 2.

The father-of-one posted a photograph of the red car on his Twitter page after he found out his breakfast show had pulled in more listeners than previous host Sir Terry Wogan.

He took delivery of the Ferrari 250 GTO and then posted a picture of the sought-after 1960s classic, tweeting the caption 'The new one has arrived.'

The car, described as the 'Leonardo da Vinci of motoring', would have cost £6,000 when it was new in 1963. Only 36 were ever made.

Evans had a busy morning after interviewing Elton John on his radio show.

But the Rocket Man singer was left red-faced after accidentally saying the f-word live on air, and apologised later for saying 'that naughty word'.

Later, Evans wrote on his official blog: 'Wonderful to chat to Elton John this morning. A bundle of fun and a ton of talent. Always happy to talk about anything. He is both a superstar and a fan - the perfect combination. He loves what he does and loves the other people that do it too.

'You gotta have your projects! They keep you going. Elton John is the personification of that philosophy. I have a treasure chest of respect for him. He has been to the dark side and back, and lived to sing the tale.'

Kim Kardashian unveils her slimmer legs in skin-tight jeans

It looks like Kim Kardashian is Keeping Up with her sister Kourtney on the weight loss front.

The 30-year-old reality star was spotted out and about in Los Angeles with noticeably slimmer legs - and face - compared to a few months ago.

Kim, who is famous for her curves, showed of her thinner thighs in a pair of tight-fitting jeans, teamed with a beige top and cropped jacket.

However her denims still exhibited her famous derrière, which showed no signs of disappearing as she strutted down the street in Studio City yesterday afternoon.

Kim's sister Kourtney recently revealed she had lost 45lbs (more than 3st) over the past year since giving birth to son Mason - making her the tinniest of the three sisters.

Last night the pair were seen on the Piers Morgan Tonight show where they plugged their new reality show, Kourtney and Kim Take New York.

They also discussed their body image, with Kim saying she fluctuated between an American size 4-6 (British size 8-10) and petite Kourtney saying she was a 'healthy size 0' (British size 4) - but still curvy.

Kim told Morgan that she believed she and her sisters promoted a healthy body image, saying: 'We're not your typical stick-thin skinny girls you see in the magazines.'

Speaking about her fluctuating weight, Kim added: 'When I am heavier I see it goes to my thighs so when that happens I will go to the gym and it makes me feel a little bit more secure and confident.'

The sisters then went and stood next to cardboard cut-outs of themselves and Piers asked them to say what they were not happy with about their bodies.

Kourtney commented that her chest was uneven in her cardboard cut-out, saying: 'This boob is bulging and the other isn't.'

She then admitted that 'these babies are not real,' before Kim insisted that her chest was entirely natural and that she had not had any breast enlargement procedure.

Kim said of her cut-out: 'I must say I am pretty content. I am pretty confident.

'Physically we are quite confident girls. We are glamour girls. We love the hair we love the make-up, but we're also OK without all that too.'

She added that the best way to feel 'fantastic and skinny' was to date a tall, hunky athlete as she discussed her new beau, NBA star  Kris Humphries who is 6ft9in tall.

'I feel tiny next to him,' she commented.

Kim also revealed how she funded a church set up last year in Calabasas by her mother Kris Jenner.

The revelation came after Morgan asked the reality star if she knew how much she was worth, to which Kim replied: 'Whatever it is, I give 10 per cent away to the church and that's what I was taught. Every year. Absolutely.'

During the chat on his CNN show Piers Morgan Tonight, the host asked if Kim had 'given away millions', to which Kim confirmed: 'Yeah.'

'There's a charity that I work with a lot that I donate money all the time - the Dream Foundation - and my mum has helped create a church, so we help fund that,
it's in Calabasas,' she said.

The 30-year-old was referring to tax-exempt contributions to the LifeChange Community Church, which was founded by Kris and Reverend Brad Johnson.

Michelle Obama gives wedded bliss to Kate Middleton and Prince William

Having been happily married for 20 years, Michelle Obama is in a pretty good position to hand out marriage advice.

And today, she gave Royal couple Prince William and Kate Middleton the benefit of her wisdom on how to achieve wedded bliss.

'Enjoy! Love each other, have fun - and go on a great honeymoon!' she said in an interview with Good Morning America.

However, the First Lady said that she did not know if she had been sent any 'save the date' notices for the royal nuptials on April 29.

'Not that I know about - but I don't get my mail directly,' she told interviewer Robin Roberts.

But Mrs Obama said she did not necessarily expect an invite.

Just like any couple, they should invite who they want to invite to their wedding,' she said.

'This is a personal, private thing. And I wish them the best.'

Mrs Obama was on the show to discuss her 'Let's Move' physical fitness campaign, to encourage better diet and exercise habits.

She also discussed the recent shootings in Tucson, Arizona, commenting that her presence at the memorial service on January 12 'Gives me energy to do the next thing... It's truly a privilege for me to be doing that kind of stuff.'

And she responded to criticism that she did not choose an American designer for her outfit at the recent China state dinner, opting instead for an Alexander McQueen fiery red gown.

'Wear what you love!' That's all I can say That's my motto,' she said.

Annie Lennox's daughter Tali unveiled as face of Julien Macdonald's new High Street line

Her mother may be the world-famous recording artist, but 17-year-old Tali Lennox already looks set to become a star in her own right.

The teenager, who is the daughter of Annie Lennox and Uri Fruchtmann, is already carving a successful career as a model, and was unveiled today as the face of Julien Macdonald's latest range for Debenhams.

And as the most outspoken judge on Britain's Next Top Model, Macdonald certainly knows potential when he sees it.

Tali, who has walked the catwalk for Prada, Burberry and Missoni, looks stunning in the collection, which is predominantly eveningwear.

With her hair in Eighties-style waves, she models asymmetric minidresses in black and punchy orange, as well as military-inspired shorts and jackets.

One LBD, which is sure to prove a hit with shoppers at Debenhams, features an oversized corsage that would put Carrie Bradshaw to shame.

Tali has also been tipped to become one of the new faces of Burberry. If the rumours are true, she will follow in the footsteps of Emma Watson and Kate Moss, and joining a line-up that includes Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.

In an interview earlier this month she spoke of her passion for music and fashion: 'I never expected I'd be doing [modelling]. However, I've always been very interested in and inspired by fashion. When I was younger, I used to want to be a fashion designer.

'I don't know how long I'll be modelling. But I'm not afraid of the day it ends, because I'm looking forward to focusing more on my real passions which lie in creativity.

'I always enjoyed singing at school. I had lessons, did grades and sang in the choir for years.

I'm not sure if I'd ever pursue it. My voice is a bit low and husky - not the same calibre of that of my mum's or my sister Lola's, who has an exceptional gift for singing.

'But I love music, so if the chance arose I wouldn't necessarily shy away from it.'

Diamond by Julien Macdonald is set to be a younger sister line to the exisiting Star by Julien Macdonald collection.

Debenhams describes it as: 'Flirty, fun, shorter, tighter and lower cut!

'Diamond is Julien’s signature glamorous, sexy style has been realised through glitzy flattering party pieces, perfect for a night out on the town.'

Having children is the most important thing in my life. :Christine Bleakley

First she donned a huge wedding dress and now Christine Bleakley has revealed she is desperate for children saying becoming a mother is the most important goal in her life.

The 31-year-old presenter outlined her strong desire to have children on Daybreak discussing a Daily Mail article regarding the fertility of women as they age.

The debate was centred on warnings from doctors that women at 35-years-old are six times more likely to have fertility problems than women aged 25-years-old and Christine stated that having children was her highest priority in her life.

She said: ‘For me, I’m 31, I don’t have babies. And for me, having children is the biggest and most important thing I’m ever going to do in my life.’

‘It’s not about my career, it’s not about your job or anything else, it’s about that.’

With Christine reaching the age where her fertility could cause problems when trying to conceive children she was adamant she wanted children.

The news may see boyfriend Frank Lampard heading for the hills as the revelations could turn up the pressure on their relationship.

Earlier in the week Christine donned a huge wedding frock on her TV show and  was the first to quip that Frank might have been freaked out by her appearance and said he was ‘currently running a mile’.

The dress was in fact a mock up of a dress worn on My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding which documents the wedding customs of traveller people.

But the sheer sight of her in the wedding frock could have been her way of sending a not-so-subtle message to Frank about her intentions.

While Christine made light of Frank’s possible reaction speculation about an impending engagement have been swirling around the couple for some time, since she moved into Lampard's London home.

The couple have both spoken about their contented home life, and a source told the Daily Mail recently that Lampard has told friends that she is 'absolutely the girl for him.'

And while marriage could be on the cards soon, Christine did outline that she isn't quite ready for children.

She said: ‘I just don’t feel quite ready to do it yet. I don’t feel ready to sort of have that role.’

When it was put to Christine that at 31, she’s still quite young, Christine replied: ‘It is, well yes, but you know suddenly, you’re 35 in a flash and it’s just the timing doesn’t feel quite right and yet I still want children, so.’

Christine and Frank, who has already has two daughters with former fiancee Elen Rivas, have been together for just over a year.

'I couldn't keep up with him,' says porn star after '36-hour cocaine bender' with Charlie Sheen

A porn star who partied with Charlie Sheen just hours before he was hospitalised yesterday says he was 'wasted out of his mind'.

Kacey Jordan, 22, told TMZ she 'couldn't keep up' with the Two and a Half Men star, who was rushed to the emergency room in the early hours suffering 'severe abdominal pains.'

Sheen is now back at home and 'feeling great', according to the sitcom's producer Mark Burg, who adds the actor is expected to return to work on the show on Tuesday.

Adult film star Jordan, who claims she was at the actor's Beverly Hills home, says their 36-hour bender involved '$20,000 worth of drugs'.

She claims a drug dealer was called to the $8 million house late at night on Wednesday.

'This guy comes in with a Gucci satchel, all professional... He sits down at the kitchen table and dumps out like five eight-balls' (slang for an eighth of an ounce, or 3.5g each, of cocaine).

'We're talking twenty grand worth of coke.'

Jordan claims the actor was smoking cocaine from a pipe while watching porn with her and her friends for two hours.

She also says he offered to buy her a baby blue Bentley, after she admired one he had bought for another woman present, and asked her to spend more time with the group 'because they needed a blonde.'

The porn star, who has hired a lawyer, says she left the house hours before the 911 emergency call was made.

'I had to leave because if I didn't leave I'd be in the hospital. I couldn't keep up,' she says.

A call to 911 was made by the star's neighbour and friend Dr. Paul Nassif - husband to Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star Adrienne Maloof, after they themselves received a call from someone within Charlie's house.

'We did receive a call from Charlie's house this morning, asking for medical assistance and advice,' the couple tell People magazine in a statement, 'and immediately insisted the caller dial 911. Dr. Nassif also immediately called 911.'

A Los Angeles City Fire Department spokesman confirmed that they had received a 911 call requesting help at the Beverly Hills address where Sheen lives.

'We had a call to dispatch at 6.35am this morning,' he said.'This call came into dispatch as a medical run and we responded out there to the location.

'We had one of our rescue ambulances, which has two paramedics, and we had one of our engines, which has four fire fighters on board and one of our EMS commanders respond to that location.

'We transported at least one individual from that location to an area hospital.'

Sheen was carried out of his Los Angeles home on a stretcher and loaded into an ambulance at 7am.

Actress flirts and flashes her legs at much younger TV host again Brooke Shields

Brooke Shields put on an outrageously flirty display as she made an appearance on live U.S. television.

The 45-year-old actress threw caution to the wind and poured her figure into a striking red mini-dress, which might have been better suited to a woman half her age.

She then proceeded to put on a touchy-feely display with presenter Mike Catherwood - 14 years her junior - who had stepped in to co-host Live With Regis & Kelly yesterday.

Brooke flashed her long legs and a big smile at the 31-year-old radio personality as he stood in for the show's regular presenter Regis Philbin.

After joking about how amazing Regis looked, as Mike was standing in for the aging host  who is retiring, she then repeatedly reached out and touched his arm during their interview.

Finally she told him : 'You're very pretty!'

Mike, who is the host of radio show Loveline on KROQ, appeared to be loving the attention and laughed at the crushing actress.

But Brooke, who is married to television writer Chris Henchy, had a challenger for Catherwood's affections from host Kelly Ripa, who told him: 'You're perfect. Absolute perfection.'

Kelly, 40, admitted that Mike looked identical to her husband Mark Consuelos, and said of when she saw him backstage: 'I was in heaven back there!'

Mike joined in the praise, two, calling them 'two of the most beautiful women out there.'

Mike has nothing to worry about from the two wannabe cougars however - Kelly has been married for 14 years and Brooke for 10.

The 31-year-old who is four months pregnant said that she is excited about the pregnancy but is in no hurry to tie the knot, reported Daily Mail online.

Hudson, who already has a 7-year-old son Ryder with ex-husband, 'Black Crowes' singer Chris Robinson, said that she is hoping for a girl.

Ranbir Kapoor takes Katrina Kaif for a joyride

There were reports that Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif were not in good terms but that's not true. The duo was spotted having fun together recently. Ranbir took Katrina for a joyride in his two seater Audi R8.

“Ranbir is really fond of that car, and he's just as fond of Katrina. He was spotted taking the wheelies out for a drive around Juhu with Katrina by his side,” NDTV quoted a source as saying.


It is said that Ranbir decided to spend some quality time with his 'good friend' Katrina having wrapped up the shooting of his next film Rockstar directed by Imtiaz Ali. Well, we won't go further into their relationship, as they need space too!

A.R. Rahman Receives the World Economic Forum's Crystal Award

He has done it again! On Wednesday, international music maestro A.R. Rahman was in Davos, Switzerland to receive the World Economic Forum's Crystal Award for his 'contributions to worldwide culture and art.'

A.R. Rahman was pleased to receive the accolade and told the crowd, Countries that work to eradicate poverty and help the poor are the best. Short but sweet acceptance speech!

And just the other day the famous music maker got another Oscar nom, this time for the soundtrack of Danny Boyle's hit movie 127 Hours with Hollywood hottie James Franco.

The song "If I Rise" that features British pop singer Dido was nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Song and the film's soundtrack was nominated for Best Original Score.

But competition is tough as "If I Rise" featuring British pop songstress Dido is up against tracks like "Coming Home" from Country Strong, "I See the Light" from Tangled and "We Belong Together" from Toy Story 3.

In the Best Original Score category, 127 Hours is up against movies like How to Train Your Dragon, Inception, The King's Speech and the hugely popular The Social Network that snagged most trophies at this year's Golden Globe awards.

But the Slumdog Millionaire hit maker is in no way in need of more awards! The score for Slumdog earned him numerous awards, including Oscars, Grammys and a Golden Globe.And he can now add the Crystal Award to his long list of trophies.

Amitabh Bachchan to Play Colorful Character in 'Boodha'

Amitabh Bachchan is no stranger to changing looks for movies. He took on a very young appearance for his role in Paa that won several awards. And now Big B is set to dye his beard and hair for his next project, Puri Jagannath's Boodha.

And the star is not adopting just any look; he's gearing up to dye his hair and beard in what has been describes as a 'flamboyant' color! We can't wait to see the result! Will Big B go orange, or perhaps red? Only time will tell.

The film will start shooting in February and no other details have been revealed. The only thing we know is that Big B's character is an old man who thinks he's still young and wants to keep up that appearance.

Director Puri Jagannath told Hindustan Times, "That's right. Bachchan sir is going totally psychedelic for his part in Boodha. You see, he plays a man who is 60 but believes he's still 25."

"So he moves around dressed and made up like today's youngster. And if anyone calls him a boodha he is livid. He will be dyeing his beard and wig," he added.

We're sure this character in denial is nothing like Amitabh in real life! The handsome Bollywood veteran sports his natural hair color with style. Don't you agree?

Kareena Kapoor Down with Food Poisoning on the Set of 'Bodyguard'

Oh no! Kareena Kapoor has fallen ill on the set of Bodyguard! We guess even Salman Khan's muscles were no match for the food poisoning that took Bebo by surprise the other day while filming Siddique's new project.

Bodyguard is a Bollywood remake of the Malayalam film with the same name. And after playing a somewhat chubby cop in the box-office hit Dabangg, Sallu has been asked to undergo a complete makeover for his role in Bodyguard.

The romantic action film is produced by Alvira Agnihotri, Atul Agnihotri and Alvira Khan, while Pritam Chakraborty is responsible for the soundtrack.

Kareena had been on the set of the flick in Pune for days when bad luck struck and she had to stay in bed and rest. According to the buzz, Bebo's beau Saif Ali Khan has been in touch with his belle several times a day to make sure she is taken care of.

Bodyguard is set to release on August 27, but this major setback will surely delay production, which will probably make up for lost time. We hope Bebo gets better soon!

Ranbir Kapoor cancels his first world tour

Ranbir Kapoor has finally cancelled his much publicized world tour due to lack of hit numbers under his arms. He is waiting for ‘Rockstar’ to release so that he can include those numbers in his dance show. His other colleagues accompanying him like Bipasha Basu, Katrina Kaif, Mallika Arora have a bountiful of hit numbers to charm the audience. .

Last year, papa Kapoor told the media, "You can`t go on a world concert without a bank of songs. Now that Ranbir has a few chartbusters, it's the right time."

On the suggestion of his family members, Ranbir cancels his world tour. He is now waiting for AR Rahman to complete the music of his upcoming film, ‘Rockstar’. 

Confirming the news a source told, "This is the first time that Rahman has scored music for a Ranbir starrer. Ranbir going on a world tour without the Rahman songs makes no sense."

Hope, Ranbir gets enough grooving numbers to enthrall his audience.
