Has Liz Hurley given Shane Warne a metrosexual makeover? Cricketer shows off his toned figure after losing 22 pounds

The couple who models together... Shane Warne and girlfriend Elizabeth Hurley models T-shirts from his Spinner fashion range in Mumbai


Elizabeth Hurley has maintained her stunning figure with a wide array of controversial diets over the years.

But after new boyfriend Shane Warne revealed he's lost 22 pounds over the past few months, fans are wondering if his model girlfriend has influenced his diet.

The Australian cricketer showed off his slimmed down physique in a tight T-shirt today as he launched his clothing line in Mumbai, India.

What a difference: Warne is looking toned and sculpted compared to his heavier frame last year (right)


Standing next to svelte Hurley, 45, in tops from his Spinners range, there was no denying Warne looked better than he has done in years.

Although Warne's manager insisted his new slimline look was down to a health kick of his own decision, many have noticed the sportsman's more coiffed appearance in recent months.

His manager James Erskine laughed off speculation that diet-conscious Hurley had influenced her boyfriend, insisting the 42-year-old was simply getting fitter so he could match his twentysomething teammates in the Rajasthan Royals.

Erskine said: 'He has been on a real fitness campaign since about eight weeks before he went to India.

Keeping up with young ones: Warne's manager said he has lost weight so he was able to compete with his twentysomething teammates


'When you are 42 and you're competing against a team of young 20-year-olds, you have to be fit.'

'His weight normally fluctuates but he is in unbelievable form at the moment. I was with him a couple of weeks ago and he said he was down to 82kg (12st 9lbs).'

Apparently Warne shifted the pounds after cutting down fatty food and alcohol in his diet, drinking more water and shakes and his new routine of daily runs and workouts.

Hurley upset dieticians last year when she admitted she skipped breakfast, Tweeting: 'Mugs of hot water first thing, maybe an espresso and a few oat cakes mid morning.'

Mr Metrosexual: Warne and Hurley attended a party at Shilpa Shetty's house on Wednesday night


She also was said to have followed a cabbage soup diet to lose her baby weight following the birth of son Damien in 2001.

With his poker playing and past reputation for womanising, Warne has always been known as a 'man's man'.

But the Rajasthan Royals captain revealed on Twitter last month, he was started to spend more time on his appearance and had no qualms about admitting to using Estee Lauder moisturiser - the beauty firm which Hurley models for.

He Tweeted: 'Questions re facelift / Botox etc - are absolute rubbish - I am 86kg - lost 7kg and are close to being the fittest I have ever been.

'I am also eating very healthily and am flattered that people think I look younger - I have worked hard over the last 5 months on fitness and lifestyle - it's far from a quick fix - fitness and being healthy is now a daily habit - I feel great and never been happier in my life.


Trim and toned: Warne arriving for a cricket meeting in Mumbai on Tuesday


'As I said seems hardwork paid off - thanks for all the compliments re looking younger - will keep up my daily routine - big game v KKR tmrw.

'Yes had teeth whitened (18 months ago) - new Estee lauder moisturiser for my skin have made a big difference too - Yes I'm still a man hahaha.'

Warne's launch came after he and Hurley were the guests of honour at a party thrown by Rajasthan Royals owner Shilpa Shetty and her husband Raj Kundra.

Shetty has been subjected to rumours she is pregnant with her first child in recent weeks so she took to Twitter to decry them.

She wrote today: 'Sick and tired of all the congratulatory msgs and calls,so for the last time "I AM NOT PREGNANT".all this is so annoying..grrrrrrrrr.'

Meanwhile, Hurley has also been working on her Elizabeth Hurley Beach collection.

She Tweeted today: ':In Bombay, finishing work on sampling 2012 kaftans for my collection. All looking gorgeous. Best fabrics in India & best embroidery.'

Hurley and Warne have been dating on and since at least December, when she was forced to go public about her split from estranged husband Arun Nayar after she was photographed kissing the cricketer.

The Estee Lauder spokesmodel insisted she and Nayar, 46, had separated months earlier, but her husband was said to be upset by the photos.

Hurley and Warne were first linked last July after the model was photographed chatting to the Australian at the Glorious Goodwood Festival.

Long and short of it: Katie Price wore tiny black shorts and over-the-knee boots for a night out in London with boyfriend Leandro Penna last night


She's the celebrity many love to hate as she herself acknowledges - but Katie Price turned something of a Twitter landmark earlier this week which she landed more than 1million followers.

Toned: The star kept the make-up to a minimum again last night as she showed off her tanned and toned legs in tiny shorts


The currently bleached-blonde mother-of-three kept up her relatively make-up free look from earlier in the week, but this time dressed up in a black top with a glitzy necklace, tiny black dress shorts and pointy over the knee kinky boots.

The self-made multi-millionairess looked glamorous compared to the night before, when she'd kept it casual and gone out make-up free for dinner at Balans in Soho.

Looking very tanned from her recent trip with Leandro to his homeland of Argentina, the star last night had her hair swept from her face in a high ponytail.

Loved-up: Smiling Leandro looked smart as he lead his girlfriend to the restaurant for their dinner date

She was on the arm of equally tanned and honed Irish businessman husband Hugh Hanley.

Julia Roberts is still a pretty woman as she flashes her long legs for sultry new magazine shoot

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Pretty woman: Julia Roberts flashes her long legs in a new editorial for W Magazine

'Make love to that microphone': Lady Gaga pushes American Idol contestants to their theatrical best

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Theatrical: Lady Gaga tutored the four remaining American Idol contestants, advising them to add a touch of theatre to their performance


Lady Gaga is not known for her restrained approach to performing - whether it be emerging from an egg or dousing herself with blood onstage.

So perhaps she was just what American Idol needed to liven it up as the final four contestants performed last night.

The eccentric pop superstar pushed the Fox singing competition's finalists to add theatrics to their renditions of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller songs.


Intimidating? Gaga tutors the religious country singer Scotty McCreery, who kissed his crucifix when she told him to act like the microphone was his girlfriend


Her advice that Scotty McCreery should pretend that the microphone is his girlfriend prompted the deep-voiced 17-year-old country crooner to kiss the cross around his neck.

'You've got to get right in the center of that hot dog,' she advised the conservative singer.


Ready for super stardom: McCreery received plaudits from the judges for his performance


Lady Gaga's steamy direction didn't seem to deter McCreery, who impressed the judges with both his rollicking take on The Coasters' Young Blood and heartfelt rendition of Alan Jackson's Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning) during the beginning of Wednesday's episode when the finalists were tasked with performing inspirational tunes.

'You're ready for superstardom, and I hope you make it,' Randy Jackson told McCreery afterward.


Popular: The singer has the audience on their feet


Lauren Alaina also seemed poised for greatness with her inspirational ballad of Martina McBride's Anyway, but she wasn't ready to proclaim that she was 'evil,' as noted in the lyrics to Elvis Presley's Trouble, until she received some motivation from Lady Gaga, who directed the 16-year-old singer to sing the ditty in character.

'When I was 16, I was way too weird to be on American Idol,' Lady Gaga admitted.
The result was apparently delicious, with Steven Tyler noting that Alaina 'delivers a song like a blue plate special.'


Intense: Gaga stares at Lauren Alaina as she performs her version of Elvis' Trouble



What an outfit: Lauren Alaina and the other contestants performed songs by writers Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller


Haley Reinhart, 20, wasn't quite as yummy.

The judges bickered about her interpretation of Michael Jackson's Earth Song.
Tyler was a fan, but Jackson and Jennifer Lopez didn't eat it up.

'I felt like you were just screaming,' Jackson said over a chorus of boos from the crowd.

Reinhart returned with a vengeance - and a string orchestra - with Ben E King's I (Who Have Nothing).


Taking her advice: Gaga tutors Hayley Reinhart, who then had her stand-out performance of the season


Two different sides: Hayley sang 'Earth Song' by Michael Jackson then Ben E King's I (Who Have Nothing)


Lady Gaga directed her to let out a dramatic exhale in the middle of the song.

The judges were floored. Jackson dubbed it 'her moment' of the night, and Tyler informed her that she 'just Reinharted yourself into the middle of next week.'

'That was amazing,' said Lopez. 'One of the best performances of the year.'

James Durbin, the wailing 22-year-old rocker, opened the show clad in tails with Journey's Don't Stop Believin' and closed it down with a metal-tinged take on The Clovers' Love Potion No 9.


Getting into it: Gaga and James Durbin share a love of performance


Hands on: Gaga shows James how to move


Jackson, who formerly played bass with Journey, said Durbin was 'paying homage to my friends,' and Tyler attested that he 'did it right.'

'You can sing anything,' Lopez told Durbin after Love Potion No. 9.
One of the four finalists will be eliminated tomorrow night.

Bollywood beauty Aishwarya Rai keeps it simple in pretty brown dress at Cannes

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Keeping it simple: Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai looked pretty in a brown dress and black heels at a photocall in Cannes yesterday


It must be difficult having to come up with outfits for every single occasion ahead of the Cannes Film Festival.

So Bollywood beauty Aishwarya Rai can be forgiven for going for a plain outfit as she attended a photocall for the festival yesterday.

However, while Aishwarya's dress was absent of any glamour, it flattered her lithe figure and complemented her brunette hair.


Beautiful: Aishwarya is arguably one of the most recognisable Indian actresses in the world


The 37-year-old actress teamed the dress with a pair of black strappy sandals as she posed on the dock.

Aishwarya, who is arguably one of the most recognisable Indian actresses, was at Cannes to announce she would be signing on for a new project - a tale of a fictional Bollywood star entitled Heroine.

Asked if the film would be at all autobiographical, Aishwarya replied: 'That's what the viewer will probably be searching for, but very honestly, as an actor, it's your professional responsibility to give to your characters with absolute commitment.


Red carpet glamour: Aishwarya chose a stunning asymmetric dress for the opening night of Cannes earlier this week


Aishwarya posed at the photocall with director Bhandarkar and producer Ronnie Screwvala.

The actress has been keeping busy during the Cannes Film Festival, and also made an appearance at the opening night ceremony and screening of Woody Allen's Midnight In Paris looking stunning in a nude asymmetric beaded gown.

A release date for Heroine has yet to be announced, but production is due to commence in June.

Kim Kardashian is low-key in ripped jeans and flip flops before switching into a skin-tight shift

By Daily Mail Reporter


Rare: Kim Kardashian was spotted stepping out in ripped jeans and flip flops yesterday, before getting back to her glamorous self in a skin-tight shift for An Evening Of Southern Style event for The St Bernard Project later in the evening


Last night Kim Kardashian was at her glamorous best in a white skin-tight shift dress and towering stilettos.

But getting that way isn't without effort.

The 30-year-old retired her usual glamorous attire for a remarkably low-key look as she tended to her grooming routine at the Laser Away Hair and Tattoo in Los Angeles.


In an unusually low-key moment for the brunette beauty, Kim was seen wearing a pair of ripped jeans and rubber flip-flops for her day of pampering.

The casual style she paired with a dove-grey top and black wrap around cardigan.

Kim, who usually favours the heavily made-up look, also went make-up free for the outing and tied her tumbling chocolate locks back in a pony tail.

She did however keep one trademark item, her oversized sunglasses.

Pampering: Before her hair removal session, the indulgent socialite enjoyed a manicure and pedicure at a nail salon in Bedford St, Beverly Hills


Before her hair removal session, the indulgent socialite enjoyed a manicure and pedicure at a nail salon in Bedford St, Beverly Hills.

All the pampering appeared to be for her night out later in the evening, where Kim stepped out in her usual evening attire for An Evening Of Southern Style event for The St Bernard Project, hosted by Britney Spears.

The socialite looked white hot, slipping into a figure-hugging shift dress with a leopard print cut-out trim.

White hot: Later in the evening the socialite looked stunning slipping into a figure-hugging shift dress with a leopard print cut-out trim


She teamed the look with a pair of green suede stilettos with gold ankle strap and wore her hair dead straight.

Kim also got chummy with fellow reality star Kelly Osbourne.

The 26-year-old British television personality is a fan of showing off her slimline figure after losing a huge amount of weight

But it was Kim who couldn't get enough of Kelly's trim physique as the pair bumped into each other at the charity dinner.

Surprise: Kim also got chummy with Kelly Osbourne, greeting her with a massive hug from behind, surprising the petite presenter, who grinned and reciprocated the affection


The socialite greeted Kelly with a massive hug from behind, surprising the petite presenter, who grinned and reciprocated the affection.

Kelly who has been regularly attending a variety of LA A-list events, tweeted her excitement about the night.

'Getting ready for @britneyspears charity dinner benefiting the St. Bernard Fund which help those still struggling from Hurricane Katrina!' she wrote.

Friends: The two happily posed together on the red-carpet


The night's host Britney Spears also wowed the crowd as she looked back to her best in a stunning lime green bandage dress.

The singer's blonde hair curling around her shoulder, she smiled for the cameras.

The star has been locked in the studio preparing for her upcoming tour in recent weeks, and it seems if all the hard work has paid off.

Stunning: The night's host Britney Spears wowed the crowd in a stunning lime green bandage dress on the arm of boyfriend Jason Trawick


Her slim figure was highlighted by her dress, which she teamed with a simple ring and earrings by Geraldo Jewellery.

The 29-year-old appeared relaxed and happy, smiling as she posed for pictures before heading into the party, held at a private residence in Beverly Hills last night.

She was joined on the carpet by her boyfriend Jason Trawick, who looked handsome in a dark blue suit and check tie.

'The St Bernard Project is an incredible organisation whose main focus rebuilding Louisiana,' said the singer, who was born in the state, about the charity.

Jetting off: Today Kim was at LAX to catch a flight out of town with her sisters Khloe and Kourtney


'I am so honoured to be a part of this cause. Louisiana will always be a part of my soul.'

The charity is 'an award winning organisation whose mission is to remove physical, mental and emotional barriers for vulnerable families, senior citizens and disabled individuals who are struggling to recover from the trauma and devastation of Hurricane Katrina,' said a press release for the cause.

The event consisted of a live auction, hosted by Kiss FM's Ellen K while DJ Max Chipchase provided the tunes for the evening.

Jet set style: Khloe opted for a black flimsy jumpsuit and cardigan with matching leopard print shoes and handbag for her flight


Other than making her usual rounds of personal appearances, Kim is also currently designing a new handbag line for sears to add to her growing list of products and endorsement deals

She is currently dating 6ft 9in basketball star Kris Humphries - the pair have been dating since November last year but already seem to be madly in love.

They were recently in Mexico to celebrate the 32nd birthday of Kim's sister Kourtney and were said to be very affectionate and all over each other.

Today Kim was at LAX airport to catch a flight out of town with her sisters Khloe and Kourtney.

Earlier the girls were having a meeting over their Sears clothing line

Casual: While Kourtney went low-key in an oversized coat and denim jeans


The reality sisters loaded up their waiting Cadillac Escalade with their luggage and made their way over to the airport.

Kim slipped into some black jeans, a black and white t-shirt and a black jacket for the occasion, finishing off the look with her trademark Christian Louboutin stilettos.

Khloe opted for a black flimsy jumpsuit and cardigan with matching leopard print shoes and handbag.

While Kourtney went low-key in an oversized coat and denim jeans.

On the road again: After his car crash David Beckham treats the boys to ice cream

By ANDREA MAGRATH

Frozen treat: David Beckham takes sons Romeo and Cruz and the family dog Coco to Pinkberry in Studio City for frozen yoghurt


His 'lucky escape' last week from a multi-car collision on a busy Los Angeles freeway fortunately hasn't scared off David Beckham from getting behind the wheel.

The footballer was pictured taking two of his sons, Romeo, eight, and Cruz, six, out for frozen yoghurt in Studio City, California yesterday.

A few hours later he chauffeured his wife Victoria to dinner at Matsuhisa restaurant in Beverly Hills.


Beckham wears his favourite black beanie for the trip to Pinkberry. Eldest son Brooklyn didn't join the boys' outing


The family dog Coco joined Beckham and the boys for the trip to Pinkberry, where they often stop off for a frozen treat.

Eldest son Brooklyn, who was with Beckham when the accident occurred on Friday, did not join the outing.


Date night: Beckham later drove his pregnant wife Victoria to dinner at Matsuhisa in Beverly Hills


Mrs Beckham sat in the back seat while her husband drove to Matsuhisa - part of the Nobu franchise.

The collision happened after a gold Mitsubishi stalled in the fast lane due to mechanical problems, a California Highway Patrol spokeswoman said.

She said: 'Yesterday at approximately 9.13am Beckham was involved with a collision on the southbound 405 Freeway just south of Artesia Boulevard.'

She added: 'The biggest commotion was when people realised it was David Beckham.'

‘David’s car was taken away from the scene by a tow truck. It had lost a front bumper in the collision.’

Cheryl Cole makes a fashion faux pas in unflattering grey tracksuit

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Is that you, Cheryl? Ms Cole made something of a fashion faux pas in a grey tracksuit as she flew back to the UK


She was obviously thinking she'd go for comfort ahead of her long-haul flight back to the UK.

But Cheryl Cole made something of a fashion faux pas in an unflattering grey tracksuit as she left the U.S. and headed back to London.

The 27-year-old singer hid her petite frame in the unattractive zip top and jogging bottoms combination.


Not a good look: Cheryl teamed the tracksuit with a pair of heeled boots


And the only hint of Cheryl's now-renowned sense of style came with the black boots she teamed the outfit with, as well as her designer white handbag.

But Cheryl seemed happy enough with her outfit, keeping her head down but managing a smile for photographers as she made her way through Los Angeles' LAX Airport.


In disguise: Cheryl tried to go incognito in a pair of huge sunglasses


And it's no wonder the singer is smiling, as she has won rave reviews already for her part on X Factor USA.

Cheryl flew out to LA the day after it was announced that she would be joining the judging panel alongside Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul and LA Reid.


Can't you see anything? Cheryl, who was wearing dark sunglasses, is guided through the airport


Glamour girl: Cheryl's dressed-down look was in sharp contrast to her appearance at the X Factor USA auditions last week


And while Cheryl's involvement in the show has already been a success, she met criticism from some viewers when she sat next to Simon on the panel - the seat usually reserved for Paula Abdul.

An insider told MailOnline: 'The fans are angry because Cheryl is sitting next to simon.

'They call Paula and Simon "Saula" and think that Cheryl is splitting them up.'

In bed with Rihanna! Flame-haired beauty gets intimate with topless man

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER


Sultry: Rihanna is her sexiest yet in the video for California King Bed


Rihanna is her most sultry yet in the video for her new ballad, California King Bed.

In a marked departure from up-tempo hit Only Girl (in the World) the sixth single from her Loud album is a slow-paced song about lovers growing apart.

The short film, which was directed by Anthony Mandler in Los Angeles, features the scarlet-haired Bajan beauty lying between the sheets with a shirtless lover.


All white: The video begins and ends with the pop superstar lying in tall grass in her underwear


As she laments the distance between the protagonists lying on the California King Bed, Rihanna - dressed in white shorts and bra - is sexy and dishevelled as she rolls around restlessly.

Donning a floaty night dress, the 23-year-old then laments to a heavenly backdrop of clouds and a Californian sunset as the lover drifts away.


Intimate: This is the singer's most revealing video yet


The director changes from colour to a black and white lens during the song's third refrain, before switching back to colour for the final shots of Rihanna lying in a field of grass, the same shot that opens the video.

At the end of February, the pop superstar took to Twitter to poll her fans, asking them to choose her next single, she wrote: 'QUESTION EXISTING: I'm shootin a new vid in a cpl wks, I just need u to tell me, which song should I shoot? What is my next single?" she tweeted before firing off, "Its hard to go from s+m to SKIN! Don't want to be 2 swiney.'

California King Bed was announced as the next single just a few days later.


Yearning: Director Andrew Mandler conjured up a real Californian sunset


The singer has been jetting across Europe to promote the big event, which culminated in the rousing gig last night where she blasted through Only Girl (in the World), Disturbia, Don't Stop the Music, Umbrella and the new single.

Rihanna has also just signed on to perform at the opening of The Today Show's summer concert series.

Her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown has also signed on to perform but they will be on stage on separate days - Rihanna on May 27 and Brown on July 15.
