Justin Bieber looked like a Smurf as he attends an NBA basketball game in Atlanta yesterday


He may only be 16 years old, but Justin Bieber isn't afraid to experiment with style and fashion.

And this was clearly evident when the teen heartthrob attended a basketball game in Atlanta yesterday.

Wearing a blue hat, yellow jacket, and big black-framed glasses, the Baby star looked just like a character from the Smurf cartoons.

But at this point, Bieber could step out dressed as Big Bird and he would still be besieged by ecstatic teenage girls.

The singer's hairdresser Vanessa Price recently revealed that he spends $750 every time he gets a haircut.

Talking in the February issue of Vanity Fair, Justin revealed that he hadn't even wanted his trademark old haircut in the first place.


Teenage dream: Justin is confident enough to experiment with style


His new lighter fringe was was first envisioned and cut by stylist Vanessa Price, who worked on his debut album cover shoot a ear ago.

However, he grew to love it and now won't let anyone else but Price handle his hair.


Going solo: Justin wasn't with girlfriend Selena Gomez


It was also revealed that when he did the interview in December, the pair were already planning a future new ‘do', though Justin said he couldn't do anything too drastic because it was his trademark.

He also confessed he was aware of the website 'Lesbians who look like Justin Bieber,' which features women sporting Bieber hair.

Justin presented the award for best animated movie at the Golden Globes last Sunday.
His co-presenter was True Grit star Hailee Steinfeld.

Feeling blue: Sam Faiers and her Only Way Is Essex co-star Amy Childs were both wearing blue floor length gowns at tonight's British Comedy Awards


Russell Brand cancels appearance to look after ill friend

Miranda Hart big winner on the night with three awards

Host Jonathan Ross keeps audience in stitches with gags


There was no nothing funny about The Only Way Is Essex stars Sam Faiers and Amy Childs's appearance on the British Comedy Awards red carpet tonight when they turned up in two seriously impressive blue gowns.

The reality TV stars and glamour models had scrubbed up incredibly well with Sam, 19, in a slash-necked, floor-length baby blue frock whereas Amy, 20, went for a neon shade as they joined the cream of the UK's comedy stars at London's IndigO2.

Together with Dancing On Ice star - and Peter Andre's new girlfriend - Elen Rivas, the reality girls even managed to challenge Hollywood star Goldie Hawn in the style stakes.


Reality stars: Sam and Amy were joined by their Only Way Is Essex co-star Harry Derbidge at the bash at London's Indigo2


The ceremony, hosted by Jonathan Ross, was being shown live for the first time on Channel Four after transferring from ITV.

Miranda Hart was the big winner on the night, walking off with a hat-trick of awards - even beating Ant and Dec in the People's Choice award, which was voted for by the public - despite the cameras being live with the Geordie pair backstage at the Liverpool Britain's Got Talent auditions.

Sam and Amy joined their Only Way Is Essex co-star Harry Derbridge on the blue carpet at the bash, along with the likes of Elen Rivas, Sheridan Smith, Goldie Hawn, Ulrika Jonsson, Jerry Hall and Stacey Solomon.

They also presented the award for Best Comedy Entertainment Personality to TV Burp's Harry Hill - although he didn't accept the award himself, sending comedy character Wagbo up onto the stage instead to the amusement of the reality TV trio.

Other stars presenting awards included Duran Duran, impressionist Ronnie Ancona, diver Tom Daley, Wonder Of The Solar System presenter Professor Brian Cox, David Mitchell and Robert Webb and Tinchy Stryder.


Golden girl: Goldie Hawn wore a shimmering frock and matching shoes as she arrived to present Best TV Comedy Actor to Thick Of It star Peter Capaldi


Blue carpet style: Dancing On Ice star Elen Rivas was wearing an unusual off-the-shoulder black dress with silver embroidery detailing



Funny girls: Legally Blonde star Sheridan Smith was wearing a short teal dress whereas Stacey Solomon plumped for a nude frock with red heels


Host Ross kicked off the evening with a string of gags directed at fellow comics and celebrities, branding Eamonn Holmes an 'elephant in the room' and describing Simon Amstell's acting as 'so wooden Ray Mears tried to make a canoe out of him.'

He also joked about Sir Elton John and partner David Furnish's baby Zach, quipping: 'David, if you're watching, the baby needs changing. Elton's bored with it already.'

However, the bash had to make do without Russell Brand, who pulled out of the ceremony to look after an ill friend.

It would have been the first time that Brand and Ross had been reunited for a broadcast since the notorious Sachsgate affair.



Surprise: Michael McIntyre was given his Best Male Comic award by his Britain's Got Talent co-judge Amanda Holden live during filming


Applause: Michael thanked the audience at the Liverpool BGT auditions for his award as Amanda and David Hasselhoff clapped too


The comedian hinted at the scandal in a video message played as he accepted the award for Outstanding Contribution To Comedy.

Saying that even though he spent most of his time now in the U.S. he still managed to keep up with British comedy.

He joked: 'I have even found a way to rip off the BBC iPlayer, after all the damage I've done to them already! Haha, Jonathan, what did you do? You were supposed to be a father figure!'

But Brand added: 'I've never been more proud to be British than since I've come to America.

The first award, Best Male Comic, went to Michael McIntyre. He was presented with his award live at the Liverpool auditions of Britain's Got Talent by co-judge Amanda Holden.


Comedy hat-trick: Miranda Hart was the biggest winner on the night, walking off with three gongs


To the genuine surprise of McIntyre, she gave him the gong, saying: 'It gives me and the Great British public a massive honour to give you the award for the best floppy haired and nodding head comedian, congratulations!'

To wild applause from the audience, he said: 'It's a genuine surprise, I didn't know what was going on! It's such an honour and a thrill and it's so nice to be here with such a supportive audience.'

The next award - given by Lauren Laverne and Phil 'The Power' Taylor was for Best Comedy Panel Show and went to Would I Lie To You?

Lee Mack, Rob Brydon and David Mitchell took to the stage to pick up the award, surrounded by the BBC show's producers.

Accepting the award, Mack joked: 'We'd just like to thank the creators of Call My Bluff for not suing us.'

Best New TV Comedy went to BBC2's Miranda. The star of the show, Miranda Hart, said she was 'genuinely thrilled' as she picked up the first of three gongs.


Night out: Inbetweeners stars Emily Head, Joe Thomas, Blake Harrison and Simon Bird took time off from filming their movie for the bash



Partners: Jerry Hall and boyfriend Warwick Hemsley were also at the ceremony


Other winners included Harry Hill, who the Comedy Entertainment Personality award, presented by the Only Way Is Essex stars, Peep Show writers Jesse Armstrong and Sam Bain, who won the Writer's Guild Of Great Britain Award, The Thick Of It star Peter Capaldi, who won Best TV Comedy Actor, presented by Goldie Hawn.

Although she confessed onstage that she rarely watched television and hadn't seen any of the nominees, she said as she presented the award: 'Honouring comedians is so important I take my hat off to all of you. We deserve to be recognised.'
Capaldi replied: 'I used to have a labrador called Goldie.'


All smiles: Ulrika Jonsson looked like she was bursting for the loo in PVC trousers as Jonathan Ross's wife Jane Goldman showed her usual quirky style


Miranda Hart was the biggest winner on the night, landing gongs for Best Comedy Actress as well as Best New British TV Comedy and the public-voted People's Choice award.

Fellow female funny girl Jo Band meanwhile won Best TV Female Comic, and received her gong from Professor Brian Cox.

Teen comedy The Inbetweeners won Best Sitcom and The British Comedy Lifetime Achievement Award went to Roy Clarke, the writer of numerous hit shows including Last of the Summer Wine and Open All Hours.


Hair do: Charlie Brooker, who won for his show Screenwipe, had his hair re-styled by host Jonathan Ross


Charlie Brooker, the star of the satirical show Newswipe, which won the Best Comedy Entertainment Programme, thanked Sky News which he said provided 'about 85%' of his material.

Best Male Breakthrough Artist went to John Bishop, but as he was on tour and couldn't be there in person, so award presenter accepted it on his behalf.

Best Female Breakthrough artist meanwhile went to Samantha Spiro who played Simon Amstell's auntie in BBC2's Grandma's House.


Funny men: Pineapple Dance Studios star Louie Spence and Dara O'Briain mug for the cameras as they arrive


CBBC's Horrible Histories meanwhile was the first ever children's show to win at the British Comedy Awards when it landed the Best Sketch Show category.

The award ceremony was held for the first at the Indigo2 in south-east London and was on Channel 4 for the first time in 20 years after it transferred in a three-year deal.

The show has attracted its fair share of scandal over the years, including gags that have backfired as well as voting controversy.

Channel 4 promised to bring the ceremony 'bang up to date, reinvigorating the brand and reverting to a live broadcast, injecting spontaneity, excitement and edge into the new-look awards show'.

Simon Cowell tells Oprah of the day he was kicked out of a US TV network after bosses dismisses American Idol pitch

Exit Factor: Simon Cowell tells Oprah of the moment he was kicked out of a US TV network after a failed American Idol pitch


He's the most powerful man in TV and poised to launch a £150 million version of X Factor in America to a predicted 30 million viewers.

But life wasn’t always so rosy for Simon Cowell, who has revealed he was once thrown out of a meeting with US television executives after pitching the format for Pop Idol, his first reality series.

The show, a precursor to X Factor, became an overnight hit when it aired on ITV in 2001.

So encouraged by its success, Cowell and his then-business partners Simon Fuller and Simon Jones flew to Los Angeles to sell the format.

But the 51-year-old mogul has confessed to Oprah Winfrey on her Master Class show, which will screen in America tonight, that he left the US with ‘my tail between my legs’.

Recalling one meeting with a senior executive from an unnamed network, Cowell said: ‘It was so bad that a minute into the pitch the guy said, “No.”



Embarrassed: Simon confessed to Oprah that he was left waiting outside the building after he forgot to hire a car


Wind up: Simon refused to be silenced and couldn't resist cracking a joke at the TV executive who shunned the American Idol pitch


To wind him up, I said, “So, it sounds like you’re interested?” He said “Get out” and we were thrown out of the network.’

But the humiliation didn’t end there – the group hadn’t booked a car to pick them up, so they were left red-faced sitting on the steps outside the building.

‘I turned to the other Simons and said, “The good news is, it will never get worse than this.” ’


Success: Judges Steven Tyler, Jennifer Lopez and Randy Jackson sit on the panel for season 10 of American Idol


Cowell, who became an international star when the Fox network bought Pop Idol and turned it into American Idol, used the interview to fuel speculation that he will quit the British X Factor to focus on the US show.

He has homes in London and Los Angeles and had planned to fly between the two cities twice a week when both series are on air in the autumn.


Swan song: Simon Cowell gave the interview as he prepares to quit American Idol amid speculation that he may launch The X Factor in the US


Moustache: Simon looked horrified when Oprah produced a photo of him in his 20s with long bushy hair, a moustache and wearing a short t-shirt


But it seems Cowell has now had a change of heart. He said: ‘I asked a successful guy, “What’s the best advice you can give me?” He said, “Simon, know when to leave the fair.”

‘I think that’s good advice – one year, I actually found myself thinking, “I’ve run out of insults, I don’t know how I’m going to tell people they suck.”
‘Something inside you says, “You know what, it’s time to go.”

‘I’ve enjoyed myself, I mean it’s not the most difficult job in the world, is it?’

Shopping up a storm: Reese Witherspoon out and about in Paris picked up some goodies at the Chanel store


Paris is the perfect place for a romantic weekend. That is, unless you are looking for your wedding dress.

Reese Witherspoon left her fiancé Jim Toth at home as she visited the city of love's most upmarket boutiques.

At 3.30pm she headed to Chanel, where she left laid down with new purchases before heading to the new headquarters of Giambattista Valli at 5.30pm.


Dress shopping: Reese had appointments at four major fashion houses sparking rumours that she is looking for her wedding gown


Reese announced last month that she is engaged to marry agent Toth.

Reese, who won an Oscar for her role in Walk The Line, began dating Jim, 40, a talent agent at Creative Arts Agency, in January 2010.

It will be the second marriage for the How Do You Know star.

She was previously married to actor Ryan Phillippe for seven years but the couple divorced in 2007.

They have two children together Ava, 11 and Deacon, seven.

Toth got down on one knee over the Christmas period with a four carat Ashoka cut diamond and platinum ring worth an estimate $250,000.

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Larger than life: Jack Black was spotted leaving a gym in West Hollywood today


He's made his name playing larger than life characters in films such as Nacho Libre and Tropic Thunder.

But it looks like Jack Black is ditching the more rotund look in an effort to get into shape.

The 41-year-old was spotted leaving the trendy Equinox gym in West Hollywood earlier today, wearing a large blue T-shirt and baggy brown tracksuit bottoms.

Clutching what looked like a protein shake in his right hand, the Shallow Hal star looked as if he has just stepped out from an intense workout.

And he wasn't afraid to poke a little fun at himself, performing some high-energy kung-fu moves for photographers.

Black, who has been married to wife Tanya since 2006, recently purchased a home in Los Angeles after two years of searching.


High kick: Jack showed off his enthusiastic Kung Fu prowess outside the gym


The Los Feliz area home was bought for $5,965,000, and used to belong to Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea (real name Michael Balzary).

Built in 1915, the two-story 6,500 square feet house has seven bedrooms, three bathrooms, a swimming pool, a motor court and solar roof panels.

It sits on a flag-shaped lot of more than half an acre.


Homeowner: Jack recently bought a $3.85 million home in Los Feliz, Los Angeles


Flea, 48, bought the house in 2008 for $3.85 million, according to public records. He also owns a home in Malibu.

Black plays the title role of Lemuel Gulliver in the 3-D comedy adventure, which was released on Christmas Day.

The actor and wife Tanya have two sons: Samuel Jason Black, four, and Thomas David Black, two.

Birthday treat: Peter Andre and Elen Rivas leave the C London restaurant in Mayfair after a meal to celebrate her 36th birthday


They've only been dating for two months, but it looks like things are getting serious with Peter Andre and Elen Rivas.

To celebrate the Spanish model's 36th birthday, the singer, 37, is whisking his new girlfriend away for a romantic break at a spa.

After dining at C London in Mayfair, the couple sped away in Andre's Bentley to their mystery hotel destination.

The birthday girl looked stunning as she stepped out in an orange dress, which she covered in a pale pink designer coat and matching heels.

Rivas's birthday meal came after she introduced her new boyfriend to her friends for the first time.

The recent Dancing On Ice evictee wrote on her Twitter: 'Oh guys had an amazing lunch with a few of my girlfriends. Just left... Mr A came and pick up and met everyone...

'He's so nice and polite to my friends .. We are off to a beautiful hotel/spa till tomorrow night... Happy birthday.'


A present for Elen? Andre was carrying a yellow gift bag - perhaps a gift for the birthday girl


The couple met at their agent Claire Powell's 45th birthday party at the Crazy Bear Members Club in London on November 20 last year.

But they only went public with their relationship two weeks ago when they were photographed going to watch Flashdance: The Musical in the West End.

Last weekend, Andre Tweeted his support for Rivas before her Dancing On Ice eviction and received a 'Thanx so much gorgeous' in reply from the model.

Just 24 hours earlier, Andre treated her to a good luck dinner at Italian restaurant La Capanna in Cobham, Surrey.

When asked if she had received jealous messages from Andre fans, Rivas replied: 'The opposite. On Twitter my followers have gone up massively - thousands and thousands.

'They must like me because everyone is saying such nice things like they are glad that we are together, "You make such a nice couple" - lovely stuff. Everybody is so happy for us. I get beautiful tweets.'

Andre and Rivas's burgeoning romance is their first relationship since they split from their respective exes Katie Price and Frank Lampard.

Rivas split from Lampard in November 2008 after seven years together, while Andre ended his three and a half year marriage to Price in May 2009.

In between their work commitments, the pair have been visiting each other at their homes. Andre lives in Surrey, while Rivas resides in a £3million Chelsea townhouse - bought for her by Lampard.

The pair also have children the same age - Rivas has two daughters Luna, five, and Isla, three, while Andre is dad to Junior, five, and Princess, three.

Back to work for Lindsay Lohan as she heads to a post rehab photo shoot

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVw2l-I6KGQendofvid

[starttext]


Laying low: Lindsay Lohan gets back to work at an all day photo shoot at Siren Studios in Los Angeles


She has being laying fairly low for the past few weeks since leaving the Betty Ford Centre.

But yesterday Lindsay Lohan headed back to work with a photo shoot at Los Angeles' Siren Studios.

The recently rehabbed actress, 24, headed into the studio early this morning for the second day of shooting looking fresh face and with wet hair ready to be made up to be camera ready.

Wearing cut off jeans shorts and a white vest top, the star covered up with a funky patterned cardigan and carried her favourite black Chanel flap bag with chain straps.

She looked slim but healthy wearing zero make up and her long hair back to almost her natural strawberry blonde colour.

Last night she spent all night at an eight-hour shoot for Japanese fashion label JJ Japan, leaving in the early hours at the wheel of her silver Mercedes accompanied by her assistant Elenore.

The star's father Michael Lohan visited Lindsay on the set of the shoot late last night.


Night shoot: The troubled actress spent the night before at the studio also


Michael today admitted to RadarOnline.com that he was the member of the Lohan camp who reportedly offered to pay assault accuser Dawn Holland $25,000, following media reports that his daughter was involved.

Lindsay's lawyer Shawn Chapman Holly also spoke to RadarOnline.com, but denied she had any involvement.

'I have never entered into any agreement with Ms. Holland or with any representative of Ms Holland - on Ms Lohan's behalf or otherwise - for money to be paid to Ms Holland, either directly or indirectly.'

Out of this world! Nicki Minaj takes her fashion inspiration from outer-space

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_09Qi3510Iendofvid

[starttext]
By SARAH FITZMAURICE

Inter-galactic style: Nicki Minaj showcased another new look taking inspiration from the stars and donned a new blonde wig for her night on the town


Her fashion sense could leave you thinking that she’s from a galaxy far, far away.

So when Nicki Minaj stepped out last night in yet another drastically different look she did nothing to dispel the feeling that she’s on her own planet, especially in the style stakes.

The 26-year-old rapper hit the town in London dressed in a space-inspired tight dress showing off her impressive curves.

She ditched the candyfloss pink wig worn earlier in the day and selected platinum blonde locks for her night out accessorising with a chunky gold chain slung around her neck.

Keeping her fans in the know, she disclosed her plans on Twitter telling her followers: 'First stop : Oceana , Second stop : Runway! Let's go LONDON!!!!!!!!'
The singer has ensured she has been followed around London town during her stay and her status updates have let her loyal army of fans know exactly where she is and what she is up to.


On her own planet: Nicki Minaj's fashion sense raises a few eyebrows and she stepped out in an unusual tight dress for a night out in London


But her followers, which she nicknames her Barbies, and their eagerness to catch a glimpse of their idol meant she nearly didn't attend Runway nightclub.

She tweeted: 'Had a blast @ oceana! Security issues r now preventing us from entering runway...'

Earlier in the day she took her attention-seeking to new lengths stepping out with a bright pink candyfloss-inspired wig balanced on her head.


Rounding up the crowd: Excited fans camped outside the hotel waiting for the singer to emerge, but she kept them updated on her movements throughout the night


Taking her hair to new heights and her fashion sense to an all-time she squeezed her famous curves into a tragic bright purple jumpsuit.

She teamed her bright pink hair with matching platform shoes and quirky plastic accessories.

But while her statement fashion sense and vibrant hair is nothing new, her larger-than-life hair seemed to have taken inspiration from the lightweight sugary snack.

Judging from the chaos sparked as the U.S. star emerged from the Dorchester hotel earlier today, her efforts to keep her profile raised certainly seems to be working.

And while her screaming fans may have been daunting to other celebrities Nicki was happy to dive into the pushing crowds and basked in the attention of her fans.


Is this too much? Nicki teetered out of her hotel to a crowd of screaming fans dressed in a bright purple jumpsuit and a candyfloss inspired bright pink wig


While many vied for a signature from the music personality one lucky fan was stroked by their idol as Nicki reached out and gave one girl a loving touch.

Nicki seems to have been enjoying her time in London and paid tribute to her London fans on her Twitter.

She posted: Ugh! The lonon barbz r giving me life! They're so passionate. They're still @ the hotel. The hotel is threatening to kick me out.’


Keeping it real! Nicki stepped out in a bizarre outfit for her promo tour of London radio stations earlier today. She was overwhelmed by screaming fans outside


But for one fan, meeting the colourful character proved all too much and the rapper later posted: ‘Earlier one of my barz fainted in my arms…’

The singer nicknames her followers Barbies, copying Lady Gaga who calls her fans little monsters, playing on her love of pink which is seen throughout her fashion sense, her music and her collaborations.

Not only does Nicki regularly step out in the vibrant colour but her album is titled Pink Friday and she also launched a pink shade or lipstick with MAC cosmetics, sticking to the bright theme.


Centre of attention: The 26-year-old rapper was happy to pose for photographs and showed off her crimes to fashion and sugary snacks


Manij mania: Nicki stroked a fan's head while another fan fainted in her arms according to a Twitter post


And it seems the songstress who is on a promotional tour in the U.K. has been enjoying her time in the capital city which has seen her travel around radio stations to promote her music.

She has picked up British lingo and said she like the word ‘peng’ meaning ‘hot, dope, fly’ to her Twitter page.

When the rapper landed in London earlier this week she was mobbed by fans at the airport after Tweeting what time she would be landing.
