S/mileage’s newest PV preview released!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1Kvzbcu3FUendofvid

[starttext]

Super cute girl group S/mileage released a preview of the PV for their 3rd single, “Onagi Jikyuu de Hataraku Tomodachi no Bijin Mama”. The insanely long title has caused international confusion, as translators are puzzled on how to decipher it correctly. The winning translation thus far is, “My friend’s beautiful mother who works for the same hourly wage.”

…

In any case, the PV stars former Morning Musume member Nozomi Tsuji as the ‘beautiful mother’ who works with the girls in a small restaurant. From the clip, viewers can look forward to a very energetic dance number sequence from the group, and even a hilariously sultry .Tsuji-mama’.

The PV is set to be released simultaneously with all four versions of the single – Regular, Limited A (+DVD), Limited B (+DVD), and Limited C (+DVD) – on September 29th.

A decade on, Kylie Minogue is Spinning Around in her hotpants again for Get Outta My Way

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVDZ00XHDAgendofvid
[starttext]
By Jody Thompson

Red hot: Kylie Minogue sports a pair of barely-there pants in the video for new single Get Outta My Way which was premiered online today

She's got one of the most famous rears in the world - so fans will be delighted that Kylie Minogue is brandishing her rather beautiful bottom again in the video for her latest single Get Outta My Way.

This time round, the hotpants are red rather than gold and are matched with a skimpy red satin top and sexy suspender-style over-the-knee boots.

Kylie, 42, infamously reignited her career by donning a pair of gold hotpants in the video for her 2000 hit Spinning Around.

In the spotlight: The singer throws shapes of a different kind on the dancefloor

The video saw the star catapulted back up the charts after a fairly fallow period in her career - and the hotpants went into the popular culture history books.

They were bought by the video's stylist for just 50p at Portobello Road vintage market in London's Notting Hill, and went on to be displayed at the Victoria And Albert Museum.

However, this time round, the red hot pants are most definitely brand new and part of a dazzling array of costume changes in the promo.

In Vogue: A touch of the Madonnas here as the Aussie popstrel poses in her promo

The new video for her forthcoming single also features Kylie writhing on the floor in echoes of the raunchy promo for another of her hits, 2003's Slow.

The follow-up to her last hit single All The Lovers, the video for Get Outta My Way got it's UK premiere online at 11am today.

It's the second single to be released from her current album Aphrodite.

The star's 11th LP, it went to Number One when it was released in July, exactly 22 years after her first UK Number One, her self-titled debut album.

Removal men: Kylie sports a gold basque as some topless men rearrange the furniture

As well as showing off her behind and rolling around on the floor, the I Should Be So Lucky Aussie songstress - who was recently awarded UK citizenship - the star takes part in a choreographed West End musical-style routine using chair.

She also wears an amazing sculpted gold dress at one point, with matching gold shoes and an outrageous claw-shaped knuckle duster.

On the throne: Pop queen Kylie gets a boost from her dancers

Sex kitten: The singer sports a fierce looking gold claw-shaped knuckle duster

Kylie's coming: The star stalks along like a cat

The video also has incredible lighting effects and some rather fit looking men who must have been hot doing doing all that dancing as they take their tops off a lot.

The video was directed by promo dream team AlexandLiane, who have previously shot videos for Cheryl Cole's Parachute, La Roux's I'm Not Your Toy and The Ting Tings' award-winning video for Shut Up And Let Me Go.

The incredibly catchy Get Outta My Way meanwhile hits the shops on September 27.

Hairy Potter: Stubbly Harry is a boy wizard no more in Deathly Hallows

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhghCE0O9FYendofvid

[starttext]
By Daily Mail Reporter

Taking a look in the mirror: Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) surveys his reflection in a broken looking glass in a newly released still from the forthcoming Part 1 of Deathly Hallows

He started his wizarding career as a fresh-faced 11-year-old.

But in the latest and final chapter of the hit franchise, Harry Potter has come of age.

In newly released stills from the forthcoming Part 1 of Deathly Hallows, Daniel Radcliffe is seen looking into a broken mirror, sporting an unshaven, stubbly look.

No doubt the shattered looking glass holds some greater significance than Harry just checking out his unkempt appearance.

In the final instalment, Harry goes on an intrepid adventure with friends Hermione Granger (Emma Watson) and Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) in a bid to topple the evil Lord Voldermort.

Other images released today show the trio looking rather downcast as they traipse along together. In another he is seen coming to blows with his former teacher Professor Remus Lupin (David Thewlis).

Looking glum: In another shot, the wizard is seen looking downcast as he walks alongside friend Hermione (Emma Watson) and Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint)

Harry is also shown alone walking through the darkness, lighting the way with his wand.

The first part of the final two films begins as Harry, Hermione and Ron set out on a perilous mission to track down and destroy the secret to Voldemort’s immortality by finding the remaining horcruxes, where the Dark Lord has hidden portions of his soul.

Without the guidance of their professors or the protection of Professor Dumbledore, who met a sticky end in The Half Blood Prince, the three friends must now rely on one another more than ever - as dark forces threaten to tear them apart.

The final two movies are likely to be the darkest Harry Potter films yet.

Spooky: Harry enters Bathilda's bedroom, with only his wand to light the way

Speaking about how difficult it was to shoot two Harry Potter films back to back, Radcliffe told fans at the BFI Movie-Con III in London recently: 'It was hard.

Before, the producers and directors were very good at taking all the pressure on their shoulders, but this time going into it we were slightly more nervous than we were before, because we didn’t want to screw it up as it's the last one.

'It was a long shoot, near enough 18 months, but a film set is the best place in the world as far as I’m concerned. The first part is a very weird road movie kind of thing.

'The first part is slower paced, but only compared to the second part. There’s more of an exploration of the relationships between the characters, that’s tested for the first times. And you’re not in Hogwarts, which gives it a very different feel from the other movies

Coming to blows: Harry and his former teacher, Professor Remus Lupin (David Thewlis) share a heated moment as a shocked Ginny (Bonnie Wright) looks on

'This is the first time I’m genuinely excited to see the film. Because it was filmed over such a long period, I’ve genuinely forgotten what we shot early on.'

Radcliffe's co-star Watson said before shooting the final scenes that she was certain she would find it difficult to film the exit scene, adding: 'It's been half of our lives. It's made us, it's formed us. It's such a big part of my life so it will be really sad.'

Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows sees director David Yates back at the helm.

He was also behind Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix and Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince.

The second Deathly Hallows film will see Harry, Hermione and Ron aged, using the same ageing technology employed by experts on The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button.

Speaking about how she would find it to see herself as a 40-year-old, Watson laughed: 'I can't wait to see that!'

Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part 1 is released on November 19.

Lady Gaga starves herself to fit into her costumes, new book claims

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHloy9LgiXYendofvid

[starttext]
By Daily Mail Reporter

Slender: Lady Gaga looking slender. Her petite frame is under scrutiny in a new book that claims she has unusual eating habits

A new book is claiming that Lady Gaga was hospitalised six times in 2009 due to her yo-yo dieting which caused her to get dangerously ill.

The singer's former tour manager David Ciemny says the controversial star goes to dangerous lengths to fit into her infamous costumes.

In his new book Poker Face: The Rise and Rise of Lady Gaga, Ciemny says the performer found it hard coping with her new found celebrity.

'When I say she was sick, I mean physically and mentally.'

David writes in his book that Gaga would go on junk food binges while on tour and would gorge on sweets and unhealthy food.

He claimed she'd then not eat for weeks so she could slim to fit into her costumes. He recalls she once lost 20 pounds in between fittings.

Toned: It's claimed that the singer goes on eating binges where she scoffs junk food and then doesn't eat for days afterwards

Talent scout Wendy Starland added, 'The pressure on her to lose weight was very high.'

The issue had allegedly been the subject of concern when she shot her music video for Paparazzi.

A witness from the shoot said: 'Producers had to shoot around her. They draped fabric over her thighs and shot her backside with a softer lens.'

Fluctuating weight: Although Gaga has never been fat - her weight has fluctuated during her career. Her costumes are usually revealing and tend to leave nothing to the imagination

David's wife Angela also weighs in on what she described as bizarre behaviour by Gaga. She claims that the 24-year-old would cuddle up next to her in bed before her performances and then beg for her to come back when she left.

'I would say, 'Gaga, I have a husband to go home to. I'll be in the room next door.

'She'd call and text me, 'I miss you Ange, can you come back?'

Angela said she would return to Gaga's room and they soon ended up spending lots of time together.

Unique style: Gaga always pushes the envelope regarding her fashion but it's now claimed she's pushing herself too far in her quest to remain skinny

'We literally would do our make-up together every morning and get ready for bed together at night.'

The Bad Romance singer has admitted in the past to being insecure.

'When I wake up in the morning I feel just like any other insecure girl. Then I say, B***h, you're Lady Gaga, you get up and walk the walk today.'

Gaga also revealed she was bullied about her appearance while at an all-girls private school in New York.

Bullied: The singer has revealed that she was bullied about her looks while attending an all girls school as a child in New York

'I had a very big nose, very curly brown hair and I was overweight. I got made fun of.'

Although the hurtful comments hit her to the core, Gaga admits that throwing herself into her work and her musical talent helped her to cope.

However, Gaga's desire to succeed and to please her fans has sometimes taken its toll on the petite star.

In January she was forced to cancel four US shows suffering from an irregular heartbeat brought on by exhaustion.

She also tested 'borderline positive' for Lupus, a tissue disease which claimed the life of her aunt.

Unflattering: Lady Gaga's costumes sometimes don't portray her figure in the best light.

Following a severe case of jet lag after arriving in Australia, Gaga passed out three times while performing her first show in Auckland back in March.

'I was so jet lagged,' she told Australian radio show Kyle and Jackie O.

'I passed out about three times on stage that night but I got myself to the floor. I'd rather die on stage than walk off because I was going to pass out.'

There has been speculation about Gaga's eating habits before.

A rep for the singer had dismissed reports earlier this year that Gaga was just eating baby food in order to stay slim.

Her fans are probably hoping that Lady Gaga's non conformist attitude and sense of individuality isn't lost in her quest to become skinny.

Poker Face: The Rise and Rise of Lady Gaga is out on September 14.

Jessica Alba's sheer sexy as she exposes bra at airport

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98EQ9zDnjPcendofvid
[starttext]

By Daily Mail Reporter

Peek-a-boo: Jessica Alba wore a sheer top through LAX airport revealing her bra and a hint of her toned stomach

Is Jessica Alba promoting a new movie? It would appear so by the see-through top she was wearing through LAX Airport on Thursday.

The sultry siren looked stunning in her revealing outfit on her way back from Venice Film Festival where she attended the screening of her new film Machete.

Alba, 29, wore faded roll-up jeans, cream cropped jacket and a beige see-through top which showed her black bra underneath.

The Fantastic Four star does try to be modest sometimes by revealing that she didn't go totally naked when filming nude scenes in Machete.

'I had undies on, and I had other stuff on, and they just sort of etched it out in post production. That's not really me. I'm better covered up.'

Jessica recently stood up for her Machete co-star Lindsay Lohan saying that despite LiLo's recent troubles she's a 'brilliant actress'.

Tease: Alba covered up half of her top as faced the waiting photographers. She was on her way back from Venice Film Festival promoting her new movie Machete

'The fact that she can poke fun at herself - she's a brilliant actress. Mean Girls is a classic. It's so good. How can you ever forget that?

'I think people should probably focus more on someone's career and maybe less on someone's personal circumstances.

'It's nobody's business. Everyone goes through their own thing.'

Jessica is back to work in earnest after taking time out to have her baby Honor who is now two-years-old.

Why so glum? Alba looks a bit tired after her long flight from Italy but has husband Cash Warren and two-year-old daughter Honor waiting for her at home

She's also appearing in the star-studded cast of Little Fockers, the third instalment in the franchise that features Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro playing out the awkward son-in-law vs. overprotective father-in-law relationship.

Jessica revealed that her character in the movie is 'totally crazy'.

'I play a pharmaceutical sales rep who is very, um, outgoing and has no sense of personal space. She says exactly what's on her mind and has no filter at all.

Back to work: After taking time out to have her daughter, Alba is back to work with new film Machete, pictured here at the opening of the movie at Venice Film Festival

'She was really fun to play because I'm pretty much the opposite of that.'

Alba admitted that keeping a straight face on set was a big challenge as most of her scenes were with funnyman Ben Stiller.

Little Fockers, which is set a few months after the events of the last instalment Meet The Fockers, is due in theatres December 22.

Kim Kardashian gets steamy with two naked men (but it's just for a photo shoot)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PReB5VxuQYendofvid

[starttext]

By Daily Mail Reporter

Spiky Sandwich: Kim Balderdash snuggles in between two hunky naked men on the cover of Prestige magazine. The sharp edges on the dress by The Blondes stopped the guys getting too close

The men look toned and sexy but Kardashian appears to be more interested in staring into the camera than the hot bodies on either side of her.

Kim was probably trying to keep her distance as her love life has been a bit of a roller-coaster of late.

She recently bought a stunning $4.8million house in Beverly Hills with the intention of living in it with then boyfriend Reggie Bush but they split up weeks after the purchase.

Not known for being afraid to show off her body, Kim Kardashian got raunchy with two naked men for a recent photo shoot for Prestige magazine.

Kim wore a cleavage-baring spiked dress while her two hunky male companions sandwiched the star wearing nothing at all.

The reality show tweeted to her fans, 'This might be one of my most risque covers to date!'

Kicked off: Kim ended her relationship with NFL star Reggie bush after 4 years together. Reggie is said to have hated Kim's public lifestyle

Kardashian is now reportedly dating American footballer Miles Austin who is said to be a rival of her ex Reggie - who's also an NFL player.

On the new series of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Kim's mum Kris Jenner is making it a mission to find Kim a husband.

With sister Khloe married to basketball star Lamar Odom and Kourtney now mother to baby Mason, Kris thinks that at 29-years-old Kim might end up on the shelf but Kim is trying not to feel the pressure from her mum.

New love: Kim is dating American football star Miles Austin but will this one last the distance?

'I think she's really anxious and probably way more anxious than I am for me to settle down. At my age, she already had four kids...I don't feel any pressure.

'Now is the one time in my life I can be 100% selfish. I'm not married, I don't have kids, I can focus on my career. But Kim already knows she wants a big family one day.

'I definitely want kids and I want four kids, for sure. But I need to find a husband first!'

Dash babes: Sisters Kim, Kourtney, Khloe and mum Kris have become one of the most famous families in the US thanks to their reality show Keeping Up With The Kardashians

'I always say, where do you want to go eat? If they pick a super trendy restaurant, then that's like, the worst sign.'

The early episodes of Keeping Up With The Kardashians were filmed before Kim got together with Miles - who is said to appear later on in the series.

In another scene from the hit series, Kim is seen in a steamy clinch with her handsome bodyguard but fans will have to wait to see if anything developed with him.

Guarding Kim's body after hours: In an upcoming episode of her show, Kim is rumoured to kiss her bodyguard pictured above

Kim was recently forced to deny that she's dating teen heartthrob Justin Bieber. She appeared on The Tonight Show to put paid to the rumours.

'This is illegal, this is disgusting. He's a cute kid and it's it.'

Justin and Kim were pictured frolicking on the beach for an Elle magazine shoot and she did say that she would date him if he was legal but says they are just friends

Cougar Splash: Kim and Justin Bieber frolicked in the water while posing for a magazine shoot. She later had to deny that she wanted to date the teen singer

'For the record, I'm not dating Justin Bieber, I would not date Justin Bieber.'

This is good news for the The Bieb's fans who had sent Kim death threats when speculation first mounted that she was dating the singer.

Derek Hough pays late night visit to Cheryl Cole as her divorce from Ashley comes through

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yznqL7Sd3Msendofvid
[starttext]

By Simon Cable and Liz Thomas

A shoulder to cry on? Derek Hough arrives at Cheryl Cole's Los Angeles hotel in the early hours of Friday morning

Following his late night visit spent most of Friday in rehearsals with his new DWTS partner Jennifer Grey, with Cheryl expected to fly back to London to fulfil her X Factor judging duties this weekend.

A district judge granted the X Factor star a decree nisi from the footballer on the grounds of his unreasonable behaviour in less than a minute yesterday.

Cheryl Cole was comforted by 'close friend' Derek Hough at her Los Angeles hotel room just hours before her divorce from Ashley Cole came through.

The American dancer was spotted making a visit to her hotel in the early hours of Friday morning - as London's High Court was about to declare she was a single woman again.

After being granted a 'quickie' divorce from Chelsea footballer Cole, no doubt fans will be hoping she will finally clarify the nature of her relationship with Dancing With The Stars' professional Hough.

Divorce: Cheryl and Ashley Cole were granted a quickie divorce yesterday

The pair now face a six-week 'cooling off period' before a decree absolute is issued, ending their marriage for good.

Neither Cole, 29, nor his 27-year-old wife was present at the High Court hearing in London.

The Chelsea defender was at the England team hotel in Watford preparing for last night's European Championship match against Bulgaria at Wembley.

Cheryl signed the divorce petition at the end of July, while still recuperating from malaria at the former marital home in Surrey. In it, she said Cole's unreasonable behaviour was still continuing.

In the pair's absence, the judge ordered Cole - who earns £82,000 a week at Chelsea - to pay Cheryl's divorce costs, which court papers said were £1,500.

However, the real cost of the split will be decided in the coming weeks when the pair decide how to divide their assets as well as their joint £22million fortune.

It remains unclear whether Cheryl will keep the £6million marital home in Surrey.

There is also a question mark over who will have custody of the couple's chihuahuas, Coco and Buster.

Cheryl was initially said to have told friends she wanted 'nothing' from Cole in the divorce.

Instead, she was said to be prepared to walk away from their marriage with just her own earnings - believed to be £8million. He is believed to have earned at least £18million while they were together.

The pair married in July 2006 at a lavish ceremony in St Albans, Hertfordshire.

Hearing: The case was heard in the High Court's Family Division this morning

But the marriage ran into trouble in January 2008 when Cheryl was left devastated by claims that her husband had slept with 22-year-old hairdresser Aimee Walton.
More lewd allegations came to light in February this year.

First it was reported that he had sent salacious text messages to glamour model Sonia Wild. It was further claimed he had slept with blonde football club secretary Vicki Gough.

Another woman, Alexandra Taylor, then came forward claiming to have slept with Cole soon after he began dating Cheryl in 2004. A fifth girl, Anne Corbitt, emerged saying she slept with him during Chelsea's tour of the U.S. in 2009

Separate countries: Cheryl is currently in Los Angeles, while Ashley is in London

His wife's legal team initiated divorce proceedings in May. She caught malaria the following month while on a four-day break to Tanzania with Hough. She spent two weeks in hospital.

Fellow X Factor judge Simon Cowell has told the Mail that being diagnosed with the disease in early July had been a 'wake- up call'.

Cowell said: 'We have spoken a lot. My feeling is that she is in a better place mentally. In a weird way this has made her life better. I think she had realised she had taken on an awful lot of commitments.

'I am not saying she wanted to go through it but she has definitely come out with a different perspective and I think you will see a sharp, focused Cheryl Cole when she returns [to work]. At the end of the day your health is the most important thing.'

Baby's back: Dirty Dancing star Jennifer Grey comes out of the corner to rehearse for Dancing With The Stars

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60PVtfZZiLcendofvid

[starttext]

By Daily Mail Reporter

Baby's comeback: Jennifer Grey made her return to the dancefloor as she begun rehearsals for show Dancing With The Stars

As the star of one of the Eighties cult dance movies, her dance experience is well documented.

So it should come as no surprise that Dirty Dancing star Jennifer Grey's return to the dancefloor is one of Dancing With The Star's most highly anticipated debuts.

And in what could prove to be a dream pairing, Jennifer, 50, is partnered with Derek Hough, the two time DWTS champion who has stolen the heart of British pop star Cheryl Cole.

Favourites: The Dirty Dancing star has been paired with DWTS champion Derek Hough

Jennifer, looked fabulous at 50 and ready for her dancefloor close-up in a skimpy vest and workout tights as she arrived at the rehearsal studios.

She last showed off her moves in 1987's Dirty Dancing, the film which made her a worldwide star.

However, although she and co-star, the late Patrick Swayze, who died of cancer last September, inspired a generation of dance fans with their moves in the blockbuster romance, she has said that she doesn't feel like the favourite at all.

Do you love me: The pair get up close and personal but despite her previous experience she said she doesn't feel like the favourite

The way we were: Jennifer seen with her co-star, the late Patrick Swayze, he died of cancer last year, in the 1987 cult film

She told Usmagazine.com: 'Seriously? No, I don't at all! We all have different strengths and weaknesses,' she added...'and I've got a handful of both.'
Jennifer said she signed up for the show because she thought it would be 'really fun.

'I thought it would be a really great way to challenge myself and show by example to my 8-year old what it's like to watch mommy walk through her fears.'

In fact she said candidly of the forthcoming dance challenge: 'I'm scared silly.'
The actress's career never quite reached the dizzying heights of her role as Frances 'Baby' Houseman in the coming of age story.

Lunch time: The pair headed off for lunch together as they prepare to put in hours of dance practice together

In the early 1990s, Jennifer underwent cosmetic surgery on her distinctiv nose but the procedure was disastrous and she required a second plastic surgery to repair the damage.

The resulting transformation left her so changed to the point that even close friends failed to recognise her, and her new appearance negatively affected her career.

Of the experience she said at the time: 'I went in the operating room a celebrity – and came out anonymous. It was like being in a witness protection program or being invisible.'

New recruits: Bristol Palin enjoyed a laugh with partner Mark Ballas, while The Hills star Audrina Patridge struck an elegant pose with her partner Tony Dovolani

Best foot forward: Bristol's appearance may help put to rest speculation that the 19-year-old has already been a bit difficult

Jennifer , who lives in Los Angeles has been married to actor/director Clark Gregg for nine years. They have an eight year old daughter named Stella.

Politician Sarah Palin's daughter Bristol Palin also took her first steps in rehearsal for her turn in the Dancing With The Stars ballroom yesterday.

The former first daughter of Alaska joined her partner Mark Ballas at a studio to begin rehearsals for the eleventh season of the hit ABC show.

Bright and breezy: Professional dancer Chelsie Hightower and Audrina Patridge looked fresh-faced as they arrived for rehearsals

The teenage mother will have to lose any inhibitions to give the sensual performances expected from participants of the sometimes raunchy dance show.

Also seen rehearsing was The Hills star Audrina Patridge with her dance partner Tony Dovolani.

Bristol's appearance may help put to rest speculation that the 19-year-old has been a bit difficult when it comes to preparing for the competition.

Bristol Palin seen before and after a long day's practice at the rehearsal studios

She was seen yesterday arriving along with contestant David Hasselhoff for rehearsals as they geared up for the latest series of the show.

Palin, Hasselhoff, Patridge are appearing on the show along with singer Michael Bolton, Grey, R'n'B singer Brandy, comedian Margaret Cho and former Brady Bunch actress, Florence Henderson.

Former NBA star-turned-actor Rick Fox, actor Kyle Massey, American football star Kurt Warner and Jersey Shore's Mike 'The Situation' Sorrentino make up the list of contestants.

Boys are back in town: Michael Bolton and David Hasselhoff got their dancing shoes on too

Get those dancing shoes on: This season's Dancing With The Stars promises to be one of the best ever with a stellar line up
