swansong was overshadowed by a memorable send-off from close pal Nick
Grimshaw in the form of a French kiss.

Lily Allen fluffs her lines as she announces winners of Best British Group at BRIT Awards

After years on the awards circuit, you'd expect Lily Allen to be an old pro at presenting - and of course accepting - accolades.
However,
it appeared the singer may have been feeling a bit rusty after a couple
of years out of the spotlight to focus on motherhood as she stumbled
over her lines at Wednesday's BRIT Awards.

she should be reading first when she took to the stage at the O2

Kim Kardashian plays peekaboo as she removes conservative jacket to show off her bra in raunchy sheer top

She was conservatively dressed by her usual standards in a tight white suit.
But
Kim Kardashian reverted to her normal raunchy self when she took her
jacket off to reveal a black see-through top that did nothing to conceal

Review: This old pals' act is a riotous reunion DONKEYS' YEARS

DONKEYS' YEARS (Rose Theatre, Kingston-on-Thames)
Verdict: A tour de farce
Rating:
There used to be a
cricket writer, Alan Gibson, whose despatches invariably included a
description of his calamitous train journey to the county ground from
which he was reporting. I thought of Gibson on my way to see Michael
Frayn’s ace 1976 farce Donkeys’ Years.
Farce
preceded the farce. My head full of politics and cobwebs, I clambered
aboard the wrong train, which then crawled at the pace of a slug. When I
finally realised my error, it took a while to find a connecting train.
That, too, made slow progress.
On
reaching Kingston I found no taxis to speed me to the Rose Theatre, so
had to run. I arrived with a stitch, bathed in sweat. And I had missed
the start.

Review: THE HOTEL PLAYS

THE HOTEL PLAYS (Langham Hotel)
Verdict: Suite idea
Rating:
Three Tennessee Williams
playlets, with all set in hotel rooms, are being performed at a central
London hotel, the Langham (opposite the BBC).
This is a neat little effort. Each scene lasts less than half an hour and is staged in a different bedroom suite.
The
audience is limited to about 30 (it is surprising how many you can
squeeze on to benches in a small room) but there are three ‘sittings’ a
night.
Playwright
Williams had a thing about hotels — he even died in one. Hotels capture a
certain transient glamour, a suggestion of the flaky rendezvous. Yet
intimate. Sitting in these rooms, watching actors play characters in
their night clothes, one feels almost voyeuristic.
The
Pink Bedroom...
Strictly Come Dancing Live combines twangable thighs and ivory smiles for a night of spangly fun

STRICTLY COME DANCING LIVE (Wembley Arena and touring)
VERDICT: Cha-cha-charming!
Rating:
Sequinned hyperbole is the order of the night at Strictly Come Dancing’s road show.
From
the blasting music to the judges’ scripted putdowns, from rugby player
Ben Cohen’s biceps to knicker-model Abbey Clancy’s almost twangable
inner thighs, everything is madly, merrily exaggerated.
The
glitter ball hanging over the ballroom is bigger than a Nasa space pod.
The singers who come prancing on are noisier and warblier — and fatter —
than Christmas turkeys.
They
smack their palms together till the things must sting, such is their
determination to agitate the crowd of crisp-munching family groups and
hen parties.
Some
audience members (ladies, refreshed) scream...

black fishnet bodysuit showed off her fit frame as she left the

ground as she made her way to her waiting vehicle....
'I don't wear a bra': Rihanna reveals to US Vogue

sequined slacks and slinky dresses - she dressed like a boy as a child.
The cover girl explained she didn't take to girlish clothes because she really wasn't around her gender growing up.
'When I was 13 or 14, I didn't want to wear what my mother wanted me to wear,' she share...
THE BLOG FROM BRAZIL: Big Phil's pursuit of a big man, Neymar's ups and downs and Hodgson turns smooth operator

Never mind what loudmouth Texans might say, everything is actually bigger in Brazil. And right now, a mere four months out from hosting football's biggest party in their big ol' back yard, the country has a problem. A big one. It's not unfinished stadia or the protest movements that show no sign of slowing down. Instead it's the chronic shortage of big men. See, Luiz Felipe Scolari (Big Phil, see a pattern?) loves a big man. Always has, always will. His plan to ensure that the only ending natives can countenance - a glorious triumph - comes to pass, is centred on a big man. Little short up front: Big Phil (Felipe Scolari) lacks the big man up front he believes his Brazil team need Injured: Scolari's first-choice 'big man', Fluminese's Fred, has struggled with goals and injury...
