She may be married... but Kim Kardashian proves she can still tease the boys in a leggy lace dress

By CHRIS JOHNSON

We are family: The Kardashian sisters were out in force in New York today and their spirits were not dampened despite the rainy weather, from left Kourtney, Khloe and Kim

The weather may have been dismal. But Kim Kardashian was anything but as she stepped out in drizzly New York today in a very sexy black lace dress.

The newly-married 30-year-old reality star put her legs on display in the short ensemble, which was see-through on top and revealed her black bra underneath.

Despite her recent nuptials to Kris Humphries, Kim duly proved that she can still be quite the tease when it comes to her alluring style.


Hot to trot: Kim looked stunning in a short lacy little black dress as she arrived back to her plush hotel


The E! television personality was joined by her sisters Khloe, who jetted into the Big Apple earlier this week, and Kourtney as they filmed more scenes for their spin-off reality show Kourtney & Kim Take New York.

Pint-sized Kim added some extra height next to her towering sister Khloe in a pair of vertiginous Christian Louboutin python heels.

She has previously worn these shoes during another outing in the city and is clearly quite a fan of them and today decided to give them a second showing in public.


Running for cover: Kim and her sibling Khloe take cover under a large black umbrella


The sisters took shelter under a large black umbrella as they exited their plush hotel in the Gramercy Park area of New York.

Kourtney, meanwhile, looked stylish in a silky black jumpsuit which she teamed with an leopard print clutch bag.

Khloe also opted to cover her legs, wearing black trousers teamed with a sheer black blouse and animal print jacket.

'It's important for them to have space': Petra Ecclestone bought Candy Spelling's £52m mansion so her dogs can live in comfort

By DANIEL BATES

LA lifestyle: Petra has been attending meetings and enjoying her life in Beverly Hills

She had claimed it was to let her spend time between Britain and America more easily.
But now Petra Ecclestone has revealed the real reason why she bought her £52million Los Angeles mansion - so her miniature dogs can have more space.

The 22-year-old has admitted that concern for her five pets was why she splashed out her father’s money on the 14-bedroom property.


Animal lover: Petra Ecclestone pictured here the Dogs Trust Honours in London last year

Even though she already has a six-story £56 million mansion in Chelsea, Ms Ecclestone felt that they deserved more room to live, she said.

Now that the dogs have homes on two sides of the Atlantic, they are beginning to rival their owner - once dubbed ‘the most spoilt girl in Britain’ - for over pampering.

The Los Angeles property is a sprawling 57,000 square foot house called The Manor which was built by the late TV producer Aaron Spelling who was responsible for such shows as Dallas and Charlie’s Angels.

Built in the style of a French chateau it is located in the exclusive Holmby Hills area of Los Angeles.

It has a huge garden in the front and the back, a swimming pool and a double staircase that was inspired by one featured in ‘Gone with the Wind’.

In an interview Ms Ecclestone said that she persuaded her father, billionaire Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone, to buy her the property because she thought it was ‘homey and livable’


Lap of luxury: The heiress bought Candy Spelling's California home for £52 million


‘I didn’t want a modern kind of house,’ she said. ‘It was a great investment at the end of the day’.

Ms Ecclestone added that she had to also think about her miniature dogs.

‘It’s important for them to be able to have space,’ she said.

The pets include a Rottweiler and a Bulldog which will now apparently feel more comfortable having even more room to wander around.


Pampered pooches: Petra's pets will have the run of the 57,000 square foot house


Ms Ecclestone is currently living at the mansion with new husband James Stunt, 28, whom she married last month at a lavish ceremony at 15th Century Odescalchi Castle in Italy where the entertainment was provided by Eric Clapton and the Black Eyed Peas.

The property had been sold by Mr Spelling’s widow Candy, mother of actress Tori Spelling. When it was first listed in 2009 it was the most expensive property on sale in America at the time.

Not such a Pretty Woman: Mother dresses girl aged THREE as prostitute in Toddlers and Tiaras pageant

By DAISY DUMAS

Just a toddler: Paisley, three, is dressed as a prostitute in tomorrow's episode of Toddlers and Tiaras

Tomorrow's episode of Toddlers and Tiaras may unleash a barrage of outrage in the direction of a three-year-old pageant queen's mother.

The TLC show sees the woman dressing her young daughter, Paisley, as a prostitute, mimicking Julia Roberts' character from hit movie, Pretty Woman.

A sneak preview of the show reveals Paisley dressed as the one-time drug using street walker, Vivian Ward, reports RadarOnline.com.


Street walker? Paisley struts her stuff on stage, doing her best to stick to the routine she has learnt. Her act comes with a backdrop of the Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel


Complete with shiny thigh-high black boots, white tank top, skin-tight blue mini skirt and lookalike blonde wig, Paisley imitates the curb-walking Sunset Strip prostitute.

Her tiny dress is even detailed with the metal clasp of Ms Robert's minimal outfit which left nothing to the imagination in the Oscar-nominated 1990 film.

Contest judges are seen laughing at the image of the child strutting the stage, hand on hip.


Complete with shiny thigh-high black boots, white tank top, skin-tight blue mini skirt and lookalike blonde wig, Paisley imitates the curb-walking Sunset Strip prostitute from Pretty Woman


The audience appears to join in, too, many clapping and applauding Paisley's turn in the child beauty pageant.

Not everyone agrees, though, and one mother is clearly shocked by the inappropriate outfit choice.

'Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman as a prostitute,' she says. 'I would never ever do that to my little girl. Ever!'


Amusing: The judging panel seem to enjoy the three-year-old's depiction of an LA prostitute, though one mother was shocked


Paisley's act even comes complete with a mini backdrop of the Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel, where Vivian lived in luxury with Richard Gere's character, Edward Lewis, for a week in the movie. The prostitute's services for the week cost Mr Lewis $4,000.

The appalled mother goes on: 'Us pageant moms already take a huge rap for what we’re doing to our little girls and it’s outfits like that that give us a bad rap.'


Bizarre: An earlier episode saw four-year-old Maddy Jackson wearing fake breasts and a padded bottom on stage for a beauty pageant


Tomorrow's episode is sure to appal some watchers who last week condemned the show for reaching a 'new low'.

It saw four-year-old Maddy Jackson from Mt Juliet, Tennessee, emulating buxom country singer Dolly Parton - complete with fake breasts.

Toddlers and Tiaras airs on Wednesdays at 9pm on TLC

Peter Crouch puts football future to one side as he enjoys Italian holiday with wife Abbey and daughter Sophia

By KIRSTY MCCORMACK

One big happy family: Peter Crouch, his wife Abbey and their daughter, Sophia Ruby, enjoy a day out while on holiday in Capri, Italy

Most people may sit at home twiddling their thumbs when waiting on a decision that shapes their future career, but not footballer Peter Crouch.

The lanky striker fled to the Italian island of Capri with his wife Abbey Clancy and their five-month-old daughter, Sophia Ruby, ahead of his move to Stoke City.

The couple, who married in June this year, were seen holidaying in the popular resort spending quality time as a family.


Mummy's girl: Abbey holds on to five-month-old Sophia Ruby as the family settle down by a lake while on holiday in Italy


Check me out: Abbey relaxes by the pool in a bikini and sunglasses getting ready to take photos of her husband and daughter

Clancy, 25, wore a skimpy blue and white checked bikini with dark sunglasses as she relaxed by the side of the pool and watched 30-year-old Crouch take a splash with Sophia Ruby in the swimming pool.

The family were also photographed making the most of the Italian culture and mingling with the locals as they strolled through the town.

Crouch, who previously played for Tottenham Hotspur, was seen pushing his daughter's buggy as his child, who wore a pink headband, took in the Italian atmosphere in her mother's arms.


Bum's the word: Abbey adjusts her hair, not her skimpy bikini bottoms, while posing by the pool in the sun

Clancy chose to cover up for their day out and wore a low-cut linen dress and gold sandals over a bikini.

The happy family were later pictured taking a break from their walk at a nearby lake, where Hells Kitchen contestant, Clancy, had decided to show off her slender figure again, this time in khaki green halterneck bikini top.


That's my girl: Peter teaches Sophia Ruby how to swim while the family enjoy some quality time together

The lingerie and catwalk model didn't strip completely though as she folded her dress down to her waist and put her dark sunglasses on, whilst her husband chose to keep his long sleeved top on in the hot weather.

It was announced that the 6ft 7in football player was moving to Stoke City on August 31.


Stoked: Peter was bought by Stoke City for £10 million last month and has begun training with his new team

The Premier League club announced that they had bought the striker for a record fee of £10million which could rise to £12million on a four-year contract.

After the move was finalised, Crouch revealed that his former Tottenham Hotspur colleague, Jonathan Woodgate, was a major influence upon his decision to join Stoke City.

'I feel like a muppet': Lucien admits defeat as his crush on Amy comes to nothing after Kerry accuses her of leading him on

By GEORGINA LITTLEJOHN

Feeling foolish: Lucien talks to Big Brother about his disappointment that nothing will happen between him and Amy

Yesterday he was warned against falling for the redheaded Essex girl by a couple of his fellow housemates.

And tonight, Lucien Laviscount laid his cards on the table and admitted he felt like a 'muppet' after Amy Childs revealed that she doesn't fancy him.

The young actor headed to the Diary Room and poured out his disappointment to Big Brother and said it had been confirmed what everyone had told him about her.

Looking forlorn and wrapped in a blanket, he said: 'It’s like your parents tell you you're going to Disneyland Florida and then you find out you’re going to Disneyland Paris…. it's not the same.


Heart-to-heart: Lucien tells Amy he is happy for them to just be friends

'I feel like a muppet… I got shot down.'

Earlier, he had been out in the garden with Amy and Kerry Katona but when he left to use the bathroom, he overheard Kerry tell Amy not to lead him on, to which Amy responded that she wasn't attracted to him.

As Big Brother throws the housemates a cocktail party, Kerry decides to try and encourage the romance but Lucien gets fed up of chasing Amy around and shuns her.

She runs over to him and playfully punches him and then rolls on top of him before he tells her to stop teasing him.


Give us a cuddle: Amy goes to give Lucien a hug...


... and ends up jumping on him and rolling off the sofa


The pair later have a heart to heart in the garden and Lucien admits that he got the wrong impression because he was 'under a spell' which he couldn't shake off.

He then tells the beauty therapist that he is more than happy to be just friends with her.

Meanwhile, the housemates woke up this morning divided after yesterday's pose off saw Take This win the battle of the bands.


To the victors the spoils: Take This are treated to a full English breakfast for winning the bands task


Take This - consisting of Paddy, John, Bobby and Darryn, were treated to a full English breakfast while the other band Kela - Edward, Kerry, Lucien and Amy - woke up having spent the night camping outside.

Darryn declares that the fry-up is 'gold dust' and tells Big Brother that the 'room service has been brilliant' as he and the other three tuck into their feast.


Are you hungry? John kindly offers his leftover breakfast to Kerry


John feels sorry for his twin and the others so takes leftovers out to the groupies in a plastic bag but is told off by Big Brother for spending time with them.

As his punishment, he must got to the Diary Room and sign hundreds of Take This posters, to which he shrugs and says: 'In one night I signed 2,000 autographs in Germany.'


Let the RSI begin: As punishment for mixing with the 'groupies', John is made to sign hundreds of Take This autographs

What on earth is Abbey Crouch not wearing? WAG leaves little to the imagination as she arrives at GQ Awards in barely-there dress

By GEORGINA LITTLEJOHN

What's happened to your dress, Abbey? Mrs Crouch leave little to the imagination in a lacy number as she arrives at the GQ Men of the Year Awards

When you're battling with scores of other sexy female celebrities for the red carpet cameras, it's a good idea to make sure you're wearing something that will definitely stand out.

Which Abbey Crouch clearly had in mind as she got dressed for the GQ Awards last night - even if it looked like she hadn't got dressed at all.


The desired effect: If Abbey wanted all eyes on her last night, then that's certainly what she got


The model, 25, arrived at the bash in London in an outfit that left very little to the imagination.

The black lacy number barely covered her, revealing her bra and knickers underneath the flimsy lacy mesh and tassels.

She sent the flashbulbs into a frenzy as she walked down the red carpet at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden in towering black heels.


The Doctor and real-life assistant: Matt Smith, who won most stylish man, poses with girlfriend Daisy Lowe


And while the attention-grabbing dress may not have been suitable for the cool windy evening, it had the desired effect on the crowds who were waiting to glimpse a few celebs but couldn't keep their eyes off the Liverpudlian model.

It also showed off her sensational figure, which she has managed to regain just six months after giving birth to her first child, daughter Sophia..

She was without footballer husband Peter Crouch, and arrived alone at the event, which honours and recognises the most influential and debonair men of the year.

And while all eyes were on Mrs Crouch, she also had to do battle with the other girls who arrived with their men on their arms and looked equally as sensational.

Daisy Lowe also opted for lace but her dress was less revealing that Abbey's, even though it clung to her curvaceous figure in all the right places.

Strictly Come Dancing 2011: Holly Valance, Nancy Dell'Olio and Lulu bring the glamour as full dancing lineup is revealed

By SARAH FITZMAURICE and GEORGINA LITTLEJOHN

Glamour girls: Holly Valance is set to strut her stuff on this year's Strictly Come Dancing show

There isn’t a shortage of glamour in this year’s show with Australian actress Holly Valance, sexy Italian Nancy Dell’Olio and Sixties pop star Lulu showing off their twinkle toes.

Other lovely ladies lined up for this year’s Strictly Come Dancing include One Show host Alex Jones and Waterloo Road actress Chelsee Healy, who will be donning sequins and feathers aplenty for the competition.

Former Neighbours star Jason Donovan and McFly drummer Harry Judd will be strutting their stuff and hoping to impress on the dance floor.



Sizzling salsa: Nancy Dell'Ollio and singing superstar Lulu have also accepted the challenge to show off their shapes


And there are plenty of former sports stars taking part, with former boxer Audley Harrison and tennis star turned TV presenter Dan Lobb putting on the tap shoes for size.

Robbie Savage, who has denied he is taking part to his fans on Twitter, is also joining the lineup, which may leave some fans bemused by his recent posts.

His move from the football pitch to the ballroom will raise a few eyebrows among football fans who knew him as one of the most aggressive figures in the game.

He was once dubbed the dirtiest player in the Premiership, on account of the mass of yellow cards he picked up during his career.


Music to your ears? Former Neighbours actor Jason Donovan and McFly drummer Harry Judd will also be showing off their moves


Sports stars: Former tennis player Dan Lobb, former boxer Audley Harrison and football bad boy Robbie Savage will be shaking their things on the show this year


Savage has since carved out a career as a Radio 5 Live broadcaster, picking up a Rising Star prize at the Sony Radio Academy Awards earlier this year.

Finishing off the lineup are actress Anita Dobson, impressionist Rory Bremner, astrologer Russell Grant and former MP Edwina Currie.

The show will once again be hosted by Sir Bruce Forsyth and Tess Daly and the judging panel will also remain unchanged with Len Goodman joined by Alesha Dixon, Craig Revel Horwood and Bruno Tonioli to critique the hopefuls.


Strictly Come Sparkling: Waterloo Road star Chelsee Healey, actress Anita Dobson and One Show host Alex Jones will be donning the glitter and sequins


Salsa shakers: Stargazer Russell Grant, former MP Edwina Currie and impressionist Rory Bremner


Claudia Winkleman will also be supporting Tess on the nail-biting Sunday night results show.

The stars will be seen joining their new dance partners this weekend, but the pairings are being kept under wraps until then.


This year's series will feature the biggest scale live programme so far, with a broadcast from Wembley Arena in front around 6,500 fans for Children In Need.

Strictly starts at 6.10pm on BBC One, Saturday 10th September.
