Angelina Jolie hides her bikini body under a wetsuit as she joins Brad Pitt and the kids at water park

The couple that plays together stays together.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt made a big splash in Malta today as they took their family of six to a marine park for some water-themed fun.

Despite the temperature being a balmy 23 Celsius on the Mediterranean island, Angelina wore a wetsuit to keep warm when she took a dip in the water.

The Changeling star has been criticised recently for being incredibly thin and her lack of body fat could be making her more susceptible to the cold.

Her long-time boyfriend Brad Pitt looked much more summery as he ventured out shirtless, flashing his muscled chest and toned torso while he carried three-year-old son, Knox.

The couple's other children, Maddox, nine, Pax, seven, Zahara, six, Shiloh, five, and Vivienne, three, also joined in the fun at the family day out at the Mediterraneo Bio Park.

Situated alongside the Mediterranean at 'White Rocks' in Bahar ic-Caghaq, the marine park is dedicated to conservation, research and education to reveal the 'secrets of the sea.'

Along with the chance to swim with the bottle nose dolphins, guests can marvel over sea lions, parrots, snakes, tortoises, turtles and lizards.

The globe-trotting family are currently in Malta while Brad Pitt films the zombie movie, World War Z.

Pitt, 47, and Jolie, 36, have rented a $11 million mansion in the Qrendi area of the island, according to Us Weekly magazine.

The brood have all relocated to holiday destination while he films the post-apocalyptic horror movie.

Brad plays the lead role of role of Max Brooks, an agent of the United Nations Postwar Commission who published a report a decade after the Zombie War.

Brooks scours the world collecting the stories and experiences of those who have survived the conflict that almost eradicated humanity.

The film, directed by Marc Foster, also stars Mireille Enos and Matthew Fox.

Earlier this month, the Hollywood heartthrob was also spotted wearing the wedding ring, sparking rumours that Brad and Angelina had tied the knot.

Angelina is currently enjoying box office success in the U.S. as the voice of Tigress in Kung Fu Panda 2.

Her next starring role will be as iconic Egyptian leader Cleopatra, which has just gone into pre-production.

Hugh Hefner reveals second new girlfriend in a matter of days following wedding split

Being dumped days before a wedding is supposed to be the most painful of love splits.

But this is obviously not the case with Hugh Hefner, who has announced the identity of his second girlfriend since he was humiliatingly dumped by fiancée Crystal Harris almost a fortnight ago.

The Playboy mogul spoke on Twitter about his new love, Playmate and actress Shera Bechard.

And at just 25-years-old she is a mammoth 60 years younger than the magazine publisher.

After he was questioned about her he tweeted: 'Shera is both our November 2011 Playmate & my new girlfriend.'

Previously he had sent her messages including, 'Goodnight, darling' and 'I miss you. I can't wait for your return. Love, Hef.'

The Canadian model, who shares the same hometown as Star Wars director George Lucas, responded multiple times to the multi-millionaire, including teasingly telling him: 'Will tweet you some pics tonight.'

Hefner has already been raving about Anna Sophia Berglund, who he calls his new 'best girl'.

The 85-year-old seemed smitten with the  25-year-old blonde bombshell, who has spent time in the mansion and was the Playmate of the month in January 2011.

'With Crystal gone, Anna is my best girl,' Hefner tweeted.

'Anna is really one in a million.'

Strangely enough, Hefner also admitted that his new lady is friends with his runaway bride.

'She's also Crystal's good friend,' he wrote.

Crystal Harris, 25, was due to marry Hefner last Saturday in a lavish ceremony at the Playboy mansion but she called it off just five days beforehand.

Harris has claimed that Hefner's love of women was one of the major problems in their relationship.

'It doesn't make sense to have so many women around but still have a marriage,' she told E! Online.

'It doesn't make sense, so it was the right thing. I wasn't the only woman in Hef's life and it wasn't going to stay that way after the marriage.'

'I love [Hefner],' she added. 'He is the sweetest person I've ever met in my entire life and I'll always love him and he'll always be a dear friend and I'll always visit him all the time.'

Ms Clancy says she's 'not a wimp' anymore as she poses for one of her raunchiest shoots

She's about to tie the knot with her cheating footballer fiancé Peter Crouch - and model Abbey Clancy says she's toughened up as she talks about her future.

The Liverpudlian beauty chats candidly about her relationship with the 30-year-old England and Spurs striker in an interview to go with her cover shoot for the August issue of Esquire magazine.

Abbey, 25, also reveals all about how she's finding life as a new mother and that she still has some professional ambitions left.

But the statuesque stunner says that there are some downsides to being a footballers' wife - not least being branded a WAG.

She confessed: 'I’ve been called worse things...girls who go out with footballers are branded in a certain way.

'People can say what they want. Now I’ve got my baby, things don’t matter as much to me. I’m not as wimpy as I was.'

But she let slip: '[Football] bores the life out of me!'

In an accompanying sizzling nine-page shoot exclusively for Esquire, completed just a month after she gave birth to her daughter Sophia in March, Abbey shows off her enviable post-baby figure.

In some of her raunchiest poses yet, she drapes herself on the back of a motorbike in fashion from Louis Vuitton, Isabel Marant and Manolo Blahnik.

Styled by one of the world’s most influential fashion stylists, Katie Grand, and shot by the acclaimed photographer Solve Sundsbo, Abbey looks incredible.

However, the star claims to have been unattractive as she grew up - and claims that her natural hair colour is actually black.

Abbey reckons: '[I was an] ugly child. My natural hair is jet black. I used to have it down to my bum. And I went through a phase of being obsessed with fake tan. So from the age of 14 to 16 I looked like an Apache Indian!'

Nevertheless, she says she always had a natural aptitude for a life in front of the camera.

She muses: 'I’ve always been a bit of a poser. I was chucked out of ballet lessons for looking in the mirror. I’m not vain, I just love make-up and dressing up.'

And she added of her ambition to model for Victoria's Secret: 'I used to say if it happened I’d die happy, but now I’ve got a baby I can’t die, because I’ve got to look after her.'

Katie Price and Leandro kiss on horseback as her beau impresses with his pukka polo skills

They still can't actually speak each other's language - but Katie Price and Leandro Penna let their horsemanship do the talking yesterday.

The loved-up pair were showing off their polo skills on the pitch in Berkshire - and the 33-year-old model turned businesswoman seemed impressed by her toyboy's ways with a mallet.

In fact, onlookers said that Leandro, 26, was a natural and looked even better riding than trained horsewoman Katie.

Perhaps he'd had some sneaky lessons before in his home country of Argentina, where their horsemen are famed for their polo skills.

Meanwhile, Alex Reid, 35, still has some kind words for his soon-to-be ex wife Katie.

Talking in this week's issue of New! magazine, the cagefighter said: 'She’ll always have a special place in my heart. I would have given my life for her.

'I am a romantic for better or for worse, so yeah, that hurts. I wish it had worked out. It’s sad because I was fighting the whole way to save it. It wasn’t my choice [to split].'

However, he said of his new girlfriend, Big Brother winner Chantelle Houghton, 27, that she's a 'real lady'.

He said: 'The great thing about her is that she’s so feminine, a real lady. It’s nice to be with someone who’s a real lady. She really is just so sweet, so girly.

'I’m cheeky. I’m like a little kid and I play around, [I make] little bum jokes. I tone that down a bit. She’s not a prude, she’ll find it funny, but I want to be a gentleman.'

And perhaps unsurprisingly, he confirmed that being with Katie had given him a taste for being in the public eye.

He said: 'I got my first big TV show a week before I met Katie. Being with her was brilliant. It opened so many doors. It got me put on the map, even though I’d been working for 20-plus years in showbiz.'

Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem make a rare public appearance together in Madrid

They keep their private life under wraps at the best of times, normally only pictured together in more candid situations.

So it was an unusual sight to see Penelope Cruz and husband Javier Bardem in public together.

The Spanish couple ventured out together in Madrid to attend the unveiling of their stars on the city's Walk Of Fame, called Street Of Stars

Penelope opted for one of her favourite colours, bright red, for the ceremony wearing a sassy one-shoulder dress with a matching pair of Christian Louboutin heels in a strange material.

The 37-year-old wore a huge grin on her face as she posed next her star.

Husband Javier Bardem was also honoured at the Spanish capital's new tourist attraction, the hunky actor cut a dash in a blue shirt, black jeans and shoes.

It was the second time Penelope received a star this year, in April she became the very first Spanish actress to have her name immortalised on Hollywood's famous walk of fame.

Penelope and Javier joined their good friend, director Pedro Almodovar, to watch their stars unveiled on the busy Calle Martín de los Heros.

The tribute to Spain's celebrities included a total of 25 inaugural stars - with each receiving a sidewalk plaque made of granite, marble and steel.

Actor Antonio Banderas, singer Julio Iglesias and tenor Placido Domingo were also among those receiving the accolade, with plans to add one to two new stars each year.

The couple have a baby son, Leo, who was not present at the event.

The actress recently revealed that her son has helped her stop being such a workaholic, saying she no longer feels guilty about taking time out to switch off from her career.

She said: 'I think we all change every day but after years of being a workaholic and always being tired, I’ve changed rhythm and found a more happy equilibrium.

'I don’t feel guilty when I don’t work now. Before, when I went home to Spain from America, I’d forgotten how to holiday properly — how to lie on the beach and relax.

'I’d go and lock myself in the bathroom with my Blackberry and check for work emails. My family knew about this and always tried to hide my phone.'

Penelope also admitted she feels very lucky to be a successful actress and the opportunities it has given her.

She said: 'I feel I have won the biggest lottery.

'I’m doing what I love as my job and I am so grateful for the things that I have.

'I never forget that to have a house and food on your plate is not normal for so many people.'
