Myleene Klass takes daughters Ava and baby Hero for a girlie day in the sun

With the sun shining brightly and a birthday to celebrate, it's no wonder that Myleene Klass had a beaming smile on her face.

Of course that's probably more to do with the two gorgeous little girls on her arm than some warm rays and turning 33.

The TV presenter looked absolutely radiant and she strolled though central London, cradling two-week-old baby Hero in one arm, and holding three-year-old Ava with the other.

Myleene and her daughters were joined by her friend as they made the most of the warm sun, on what was Britain's hottest day of the year so far.

The former pop star looked gorgeous in a black maxi dress and big floppy hat, which she accessorised with huge sunglasses and a brown animal print bag.

And she looked happy and relaxed as she held her newborn in her arms.

Wrapped up in a multi-coloured blanket from her Klass's Baby K Mothercare range, Hero slept soundly in her mother's arms as she, her friend and little Ava did some shopping.

This is the first time we have seen Myleene since she gave birth to Hero on March 25.

And yesterday she took to her Twitter page and wrote: 'Today I'm the same age as Jesus and to mark it, I'm going to change out of my PJs and FINALLY leave the house!

Last Friday she tweeted a picture that her fiancé Graham Quinn took of the three girls together, as Hero made her public debut.

She wrote: ''World meet Hero, Hero meet world! One whole week old today! (Dad's the official photographer!)'

Irina Shayk shows Ronaldo she looks as good in a wedding dress as she does in a bikini

Footballers are a famously fickle lot - particularly when it comes to relationships.

So you can understand why their girlfriends would feel the need to pull out all the stops to keep them committed.

Irina Shayk snared Ronaldo with her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue-worthy body, and in her latest photo shoot she shows him that she looks absolutely gorgeous in a wedding dress too.

The ever-obliging model even gave him a variety of options.

Irina, 25, shows off her enviable curves in a range of different wedding dresses which are part of Israeli designer Dany Mizrachi's Haute Couture 2011 collection.

He describes his dresses as 'three dimensional creations' and rebuilt his fashion empire after an altercation with his brother drove him to the brink of bankruptcy.

All designs are suited to the bride who wants to make a big statement with her dress.

Features include nipped in waists, detailed corsets, big corsages and even bigger.

Some of the lacy designs have slightly transparent skirts that show off Irina's enviable legs.

Others are inspired by the Eighties, or even ancient Greece.

Dany Mizrachi's  shoot look place in a desert, with the white of the dresses contrasting beautifully with the red of the rocks and stones forming the backdrop.

The Haute Couture collection also includes a couple of coloured dresses - perhaps the model is suggesting what her maid of honour could wear.

Irina was a swimwear and underwear model, featuring in campaigns for Intimissimi and Armani Exchange, until her transfer into high fashion in 2010.

She is especially popular in Spain, where her boyfriend plays football for Real Madrid. Glamour Spain named her the 'Best International Model of 2010'.

Brooke teamed her raunchy T-shirt with a pair of stonewash jeans, boots and a black leather jacket.

Sacha, 19, opted for a similar colour palette and dressed in a pair of tiny denim shorts a see-through black top a leather jacket and patterned tights.

The blonde actress seemed to enjoy the concert and joked on her Twitter afterwards: ’Would officially turn lesbian for @jessiejofficial Muhahahaaa!’

The girls recently posed for a raunchy photoshoot for the April edition of lesbian magazine Diva which saw them snuggle up together naked in the tube.

Brooke, who plays Sophie Webster on the Manchester-based soap, spoke of their roles on the show and said: ‘We like being the nation’s two favourite lesbians.’

The girls have had a close relationship in real-life and have known each other for over 12 years  and were originally friends at drama school when they were six-years-old.

Brooke told Diva: ‘'We’re like sisters. It’s mad because when Sacha came onto Corrie we kind of realised why we’d been friends all them years ago.’

I’m free to sign outside YRF: Ranveer Singh

On Monday, Ranveer Singh was back on the streets of Delhi, flagging off his second movie, Ladies V/S Ricky Bahl. Being directed by Maneesh Sharma, who gave his career a flying start, this rom-com revolves around a con man. Written and produced by Aditya Chopra, it will open on December 9. Ranveer is being touted as Yash Raj Films’ in-house mascot, even though lately he’s been spotted in the company of other filmmakers, including Karan Johar.

“I do have a three-film contract with YRF but it’s not exclusive. The only condition was that Band Baaja Baraat would be my first film. Now, I’m free to sign films with other banners,” he says, admitting that he’s in talks with other producers.

“Karan is a brilliant director and one of the warmest people I’ve met. I’d love to work with him. As for YRF, I’m too small an entity to be the flag bearer for the banner.”

Earlier, he was mistaken for Ranbir Kapoor and dismissed as the son of an affluent businessman who had financed his launch. The allegation Ranveerhurts. “I was upset by the rumour since I’d worked really hard for my break. Hopefully now that I’ve swept all the Best Debutant Awards except one (IIFA) and have my fingers crossed for that too, my detractors are convinced I can act a bit. My dad couldn’t have paid for all these awards.”

His debut film recently celebrated a 100-day run. Many theatres brought the film back in its 15th week, and it was running in 122 screens across India.

Ranveer is now in the Capital with Parineeti Chopra, one of the second leads in Ladies V/S Ricky Bahl, along with Dipannita Sharma and Aditi Sharma. Anushka Sharma plays the lead. “Parineeti is a newcomer but was born to act. She was nervous on the first day of shoot but not as shaken as I was. She’s a fast learner.”

And what about Anushka, his ‘good friend’, who’s apparently moved on to Ranbir? He says, “I’ve no idea about what’s been written in the newspapers.”

Imran Khan’s first visit to the Taj Mahal

The Taj Mahal  is on every couple’s must-see list.  Imran Khan, who tied the knot with girlfriend Avantika Malik earlier this year, is looking forward to his first visit to  the monument. But it will be with Katrina Kaif, his Mere Brother Ki Dulhan co-star.

A source associated with the film says, “When director Zafar Ali was discussing the Delhi-Agra outdoor, Imran asked if they’d be shooting at the Taj since he’s  never been there before.”

Zafar is filming his most romantic track near the famous monument. Says the source, “The idea of the song is to celebrate love. And since most of the film is set in the North, what better backdrop than the Taj Mahal that was built by Shah Jahan in the memory of his queen, Mumtaz.”

ImranImran wrapped up a scedule of Shakun Batra’s Short Term Shaadi with Kareena Kapoor this weekend. He’s currently in Delhi to film a couple of scenes and songs with Katrina for Mere Brother Ki Dulhan before heading to Agra.

Says Imran, “Never mind if my first visit to one of the world’s seven wonders is for work. I’m still very excited.” However, wife Avantika Malik won’t be around as she doesn’t accompany him on shoots. But the actor plans to return to the Taj Mahal with her some day soon. He says, “I’d sure like to go there with her. But there is too much work for now. We can take a holiday any time later.”

he director who's all set to release her directorial venture Mary Magdalene, starring Shiney Ahuja, says she had decided to give the actor another chance.

Hollywood actor Edward Norton gets engaged in India

According to New York post online, the Academy Award nominated actor popped the question to the Canada-born Robertson during their Indian vacation three weeks back. Norton, 41, and Robertson, 37, have always kept a low profile and hardly made any red carpet appearances together. No wonder they managed to hoodwink the Indian media during their visit.

The confirmation of Norton’s engagement has apparently come from his ex girlfriend Courtney Love.

Talking about Norton and Robertson, Love told the website: “It's about time. He's 41, they've been together for six years. He needs to have babies. I wonder what kind of ring he got her? He bought me a ruby.”

In the past, Norton has been engaged to Courtney Love and also dated Salma Hayek.

First look - Salman Khan’s next film ‘Ready’

Since it’s a remake of Telugu film Ready, the storyline is no different. Salman plays a man who tries to help his friend in getting married to his love of life but instead kidnaps another girl by mistake, played by Asin. The movie promises to be a laugh riot, and boasts a huge star cast and funny, eccentric characters. Most part of the film was shot in the exotic locales of Sri Lanka, for which the makers, especially Asin had to face severe criticism from the South film fraternity.

The original film featuring Ram and Genelia D’Souza released in the year 2008 was a big hit and cashing in on its success, other remakes in Tamil and Kannada were also made. Surprisingly, all the remakes did extremely well at the box office.

The makers of Hindi remake are also expecting the same magic. Ready is all set to hit the theatres on June 3. Here is the first look of the Salman Khan-Asin starrer Ready:

Freida Pinto shares her beauty secret

Freida tells the Scottish newspaper Daily Record that drinking vegetable juice makes her skin glow.

“I make loads of fresh vegetable juices with coriander or pepper so that it's tastier. The concoction makes my skin glow and is good for the digestive system too,” said the 26-year-old starlet who skyrocketed to fame after the super success of the multiple Oscar winning film Slumdog Millionaire.

Ironically, there used to be a time when Freida wasn’t confident of her looks and body.

“When you doubt something about yourself, you start thinking there's also something wrong with your hair, your body or your clothes,” Freida added.

Today, all those complexes are done away with. Freida is the face of the international cosmetic brand L’Oreal.

Jennifer Garner has landed the title character in Walt Disney Pictures’ upcoming big-screen adaptation of Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple mystery novel series.

According to IGN, the character - immortalized in countless films and TV shows over the past 50 years - is traditionally an elderly woma
n, but Disney's reboot will revolve around a much younger Marple cracking crimes.

Irrfan Khan not interested in Total Recall

While the rest of Bollywood would die for a role like that, actor Irrfan Khan has just turned down the remake of the 1990 Hollywood hit, Total Recall.

The reason: The sci-fi thriller didn’t excite him. “I said no because I didn’t want to do it. It wasn’t the kind of film I’d want to do,” says the 48-year-old, who is, however, busy shooting for other big ticket Hollywood flicks such as Life of Pi and The Amazing Spider-Man.

Irrfan“I do films that I want to do. It’s not like a need to survive there (in Hollywood),” he says, adding that he’d never want to shift base to Los Angeles. “I will never do that. I can survive on the film offers I’m getting there, but to me, it’s only like luxury.”

Even the moolah doesn’t attract him. “Once you shift there, it becomes a kind of compulsion, and I don’t want to fall into it. If I can’t live in my own country, how will I survive there?”

Prod him about his negative role in The Amazing Spider-Man, and Khan says, “Usko latka hua chhod kar aaya hoon, abhi jaoonga aur utaroonga usko (I’ve left him hanging, wait till I get him down)!”

As of now, the actor is looking forward to his Friday Bollywood release, Thank You, in which he plays a “male chauvinist pig, who thinks women should be kept under control”.
