Kerry, 30, has told her friends that she is 'desperate' to be a size eight again, a size she manage to stick to while training for Dancing On Ice, and has kicked the booze and takeaways in order to slim down.

Speaking to Closer magazine, one said Kerry was worried about looking fat next to former TOWIE star Amy Childs, 21, who is also believed to be entering the Big Brother house when the series returns soon on Channel 5.

By SARAH FITZMAURICE

Helping hand: Emma Watson was seen helping her friend drive her car as she sat in the back seat after leaving a premiere on Monday

She is one of Hollywood’s highest paid actresses and in-demand models of the moment but it appears that Emma Watson can also drive a car from its back seat.

The Harry Potter star was seen directing from her seat in the back of the car as she and two friends left The Change Up premiere.

And it seems that Emma was in great spirits as she appeared to manoeuvre her friend’s gear stick and stretched her hand out towards the steering wheel.



Used to the attention: While Emma is no stranger to photographers her friend seemed put off and, to her amusement, needed help to work the hybrid car


Emma, who has said goodbye to her role as Hermoine Grainger after the final Harry Potter film was released last month, is no stranger to attention from snappers.

But her friend appeared to be extremely put off by the photographers and was left needing directions from his friend on how to use her hybrid car.

Emma had attended the film screening at the Landmark Theatre on Monday night which had seen stars Ryan Reynolds accompanied by his good friend Sandra Bullock, Olivia Wilde and Jason Bateman walked the red carpet.


This is how you do it: Emma had been at The Change Up premiere when her friend tried, and failed to drive her car


Centre of attention: Given the followers Emma was attracting she probably thought she would make a speedier getaway if her friend drove

From 'Cole Cappuccino' to 'Katona Karrot'... Pippa Middleton's 'Royal Mocha' leads the celebrity tan tone scale as the most desirable shade in Britain

By JESSICA SATHERLEY

Choosing the right shade of fake tan can be a tough decision, but it has been revealed that Pippa Middleton is influencing British women to opt for a ‘Royal Mocha’ tone this summer.

Miss Middleton's glow has been named the most desirable skin tone by a new study which discovered the most and least desirable celebrity tans of 2011.

And as Pippa’s complexion came out on top, Kerry Katona’s ‘Karrot’ look left her at the bottom of the heap of the celebrity tan-tone chart.


Live chart: The models became part of the world's first tan-tone window display boasting celebrity branded skin shades at The Really Buff Boutique in London's Soho


Cheryl Cole’s ‘Cappuccino’ tan was the second most popular hue, followed by Amy Childs’ ‘Essex Copper’, Christine Bleakley’s ‘Burnished Bronze’ and Katie Price’s ‘Pricey Pecan’.

And yesterday six bikini-clad women were modelling the celebrity branded skin shades at a pop-up beauty salon in London’s Soho area.


Ready for summer: The bikini-clad models show off their fake tans for summer by holding beach balls with their celebrity branded shades


A team of experts, led by tanning guru James Harknett, studied over 100 female celebrities over a three-month period to identify the total of six distinct shades favoured by the rich and famous.

More than 2,000 British ladies then took part in the poll to vote on whose tan came out on top.

Pippa’s gorgeous glow dubbed ‘The Royal Mocha’ nabbed a whopping 60 per cent of the votes, closely followed by Cheryl Cole, who achieved 26 per cent of votes.

Bikini girl Selena Gomez enjoys poolside fun in Miami (and Justin Bieber strips down too)

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Taking time out: Selena Gomez relaxed by the pool in Orlando on Friday

Selena Gomez took a break from her tour schedule for an afternoon of poolside fun in Miami.

The Disney star, who turned 19 earlier this month, slipped into pretty pink bikini to cool off from the Florida heat on Friday.

At one point, she untied her bikini top to avoid getting tan lines as she reclined on a sun lounger after taking a dip in the pool at a luxury Orlando hotel.


Cooling off: The star risked a wardrobe malfunction as she took a dip without her swimsuit properly tied up

The performer, who kicked off her summer tour on July 24 in Costa Mesa, is travelling throughout the US on her Dream Out Loud tour for the rest of this month.

Her boyfriend Justin Bieber joined her for part of the tour last week and was spotted taking in some sunshine the following day in Miami.

Hinting he has been in a rather romantic mood of late, he wrote on Twitter that same day: 'What makes you so beautiful is that you don't know how beautiful you are... to me.'


It's a tough life: Selena's boyfriend Justin Bieber enjoyed the Florida sun too as he emerged from his hotel in Miami on Saturday

He also had a great deal of affection for the city too, adding: 'I LOVE MIAMI.'

The 17-year-old was spending time with singer Sean Kingston, who recently recovered from a jetski accident.

Bieber describes the star as a 'real friend.'

He is taking a month off to relax with his pals - and of course Selena - before beginning work on his next album.

Gomez is set to perform in Atlanta tomorrow night.

'I couldn't speak for 48 hours': Lady Gaga reveals her devastation after learning of Amy Winehouse's death

By SARAH FITZMAURICE

I couldn't speak: Lady Gaga reveals how devastated she was when she heard about Amy Winehouse passing away

Lady Gaga has revealed she was so devastated by Amy Winehouse’s death she couldn’t speak for 48 hours.

The Judas singer appeared on The View chat show, which aired in the U.S. earlier today, and spoke of her grief, even though she never met the Back To Black singer.

She told the panel: ‘I am just so devastated and so sad and I really could not speak for 48 hours straight I was in such shock.’


'Most lovely and kind': Lady Gaga revealed how much she loved Amy, despite never meeting her, as she appeared on The View chat show

Lady Gaga then went on to explain how a lesson should be learnt from the death of the singer, who she described as ‘the most lovely and nice and kind woman’.

She told the ladies of the ABC panel: ‘I think the most unfortunate thing about it all is the way that the media spins things, like we can learn from Amy's death.

‘I don't feel that Amy needed to learn any lessons. I felt that the lesson was for the world to be kinder to the superstar.’


Black and white: The 25-year-old singer donned a dogtooth patterned outfit for her interview on The View where she gave some frank responses and spoke about Amy Winehouse

‘Everybody was so hard on her, and everything that I knew about her was that she was the most lovely and nice and kind woman.’

The outspoken singer also said: ‘You know, you can't have it both ways. You can't enjoy listening to someone sing sad songs about the blues and heartbreak and then not expect them to be truly heartbroken.’

Lady Gaga, who is currently on a promotional tour for her new single, spoke about Amy just last week on Omaha 94.1 Radio during an interview where she revealed she was often mistaken for the soul singer before she herself found fame.


Drug problem: The panel discussed the Back to Black singer's battle with drugs and Lady Gaga spoke out about how she managed to quit hard drugs

After hearing the news of Amy’s death Lady Gaga took to Twitter and posted: ‘Amy changed pop music forever, I remember knowing there was hope, and feeling not alone because of her. She lived jazz, she lived the blues.’


Take it away: Lady Gaga jumped on the piano and started singing to the audience and talk show hosts


Gaga, who has admitted to using hard drugs in the past, said she no longer did drugs apart from being an occasional user of marijuana saying ‘I am a little bit part of the green club’.

She explained how she stopped using hard drugs when her father called her out.

She said: ‘My dad was like, “I know what you're doing, and just so you know, I did it and I lost every friend and everything that I ever had while I did it.” He shared with me his life story and his struggle, so that was what ultimately changed my life. Honestly it was the best thing that happened. I never went back.’

Smoking hot: Miley Cyrus lights up the lake (and a cigarette) in a revealing bikini which shows off her slender figure

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Lighting up: Miley Cyrus smokes a cigarette while smoking a cigarette and holding her new puppy Floyd in Orchard Lake, Michigan yesterday

She may be famous for being a Disney star, but Miley Cyrus is starting to look markedly different from her Hannah Montana days.

The former Disney star sported a slinky grey bikini which showed off her slender figure and growing number of tattoos as she spent the day with boyfriend Liam Hemsworth at a Michigan lake yesterday.

And it seems the actress and singer has also developed a nasty habit as she was spotted lighting up several cigarettes while soaking up the sunshine.


Svelte: The singer and actress showed off her slim figure as she took a break on the lake with her boyfriend and several friends

The star was clearly having a great time as she carried her brand new puppy Floyd with her on the jetty, and clung on to him when she took a dip in the water, at Orchard Lake.

The pooch was by the singer's side all day, and she later changed into a white vest top and red patterned skirt to take him for a walk.

Later, the star took a ride on a jet ski with her Australian boyfriend, Liam, 21, who has just been filming his new role in the hotly anticipated film adaptation of The Hunger Games


A dog's life: Miley held her miniature pooch as she took a dip in the sea

It's clear that the Hannah Montana star's relationship with the actor - her co-star in film The Last Song - is firmly back on after the pair split briefly last year.

They were joined by Miley's friend, former star of reality show The City, Erin Lucas.

'Lake day with @erin_lucas and our bfs :),' Miley wrote on her Twitter page yesterday. 'We already put them do a coffee run but it's taking WAY tooo long!'


Romantic day out: Miley and Liam Hemsworth enjoy a jet ski ride together on the lake


Her new smoking habit comes in contrast to comments she made in her 2009 autobiography Miles To Go, according to the New York Post.

'I would never smoke,' she wrote. 'I always say that for me, smoking would be like smashing my guitar and expecting it to play.

'I'd never do that to my voice, not to mention the rest of my body,' she added.


Taking a break: After taking a dip, Miley lights a cigarette and chats to friends wearing a stripy towel, with her hair still wet from the water
