Sharon Stone proves her Basic fashion Instincts are wrong for once at Cannes Film Festival premiere of The Search

While there was a slew of gorgeous stars, and models, on the Cannes catwalk for the premiere of The Search movie, it unexpectedly fell to Sharon Stone to prove that her Basic fashion Instincts were well off the mark for once.

Wearing a black mini-dress which was low-cut with string ties, 56-year-old Sharon truly missed the fashion mark with her odd LBD.

With her hair pushed off her face and large shades on, she looked more like Brigitte Nielsen than a Hollywood movie star.

Sharon Stone not afraid to wear a mini-dress at Cannes

That was in stark contrast to the previous evening when Sharon was at her usual highly glamorous standard in a figure-hugging red dress that showed off her toned body and was worn with a huge amount of de Grisogono ruby and emerald jewels.

So expensive were the rocks that she wore on her body that Sharon needed eight bodyguards to ensure her safety - and that of the jewellery.

It's little surprise then that by the night's end model Cara Delevingne was spotted licking Sharon's face.

Cannes Cannes no-no: Sharon appeared to have left her Basic fashion instinct at home for the night

Barbara Palvin strokes Justin Bieber's face at Cannes yacht party

They were rumoured to be dating after the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in November 2012, and were even seen going to see the Lion King onstage together.

But at the time, Barbara Palvin insisted there was ‘nothing going on’ between herself and Justin Bieber.

Whether or not that was true back then, fast forward a year and a half and the model will have a hard time saying they’re still just friends.

Intense: Justin Bieber and Barbara Palvin chatted intimately, and she was even spotted touching his face

Barbara was spotted intimately stroking the singer’s face when the pair, who are both 20, ran into each other at Roberto Cavalli’s yacht party on Wednesday.

The Hungarian born beauty placed a hand on the back of Justin’s head and ran her thumb over his cheek as they caught up at the bash, held in celebration of the Cannes Film Festival.

In turn, he appeared to have a hand on her waist while she whispered in his ear.

Sweet nothings: The model was also spotted whispering into the singer's ear during Roberto Cavalli's yacht bash

The look of love? The pair certainly looked rather close as they chatted away onboard the yacht

Just the two of us: The two stars were enjoying an intimate moment, even though they were surrounded by people

And perhaps the rendezvous in the South of France would explain why Justin left the party looking like the cat that got the cream.

The Beauty And A Beat hit-maker couldn’t wipe the grin off his face, and even shrugged mischievously, as he made his way off the boat.

Justin was wearing a white sports shirt, black shorts and grey loafers, and slipped on a denim jacket with cosy black sleeves when he got a little chilly.

Barbara on the other hand looked very glamorous in a floor-sweeping silk silver dress with a low-cut and intricate beading, and kicked off her heels to go barefoot.

Gordon Ramsay turns his bowl cut into a proper vintage undercut as he films Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares

It was certainly worrying when Gordon Ramsay stepped out for Victoria Beckham’s birthday with a bowl cut hairdo.

But after a few weeks it seems the TV chef has finally learnt how to style his undercut into a more presentable fashion, as he filmed scenes for Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmare.

Gordon, 47, must have got some tips from his pal David Beckham, who first brought the 1940s look to the world’s attention two years ago.

He finally bought some gel: Gordon Ramsay finally styles his undercut appropriately as he films scenes for Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares

The chef had lathered on the gel to really spike his highlighted-blond locks up as he took a break from filming in Los Boliches, Fuengirola, Malaga.

Some believe that he may have undergone follicular unit extraction - or FUE - surgery, for which the patient is told to shave part of their head in order for doctors to successfully access the roots.

Though surgeons such as Dr Reddy in London's Harley Street offer the procedure without this drawback.

What a difference: The look was certainly an improvement on the bowl cut he had been rocking a few weeks ago

He’s got his cut just in time for the annual Soccer Aid tournament in he will once again play for Team Rest Of The World.

On 8 June, the charity match organised by Robbie Williams will see celebrities and football legends don their studs to help save and change children's lives around the world.

Battling it out for Team England for the coveted Soccer Aid trophy are True Blood Stephen Moyer, comedians Jack Whitehall John Bishop and Michael McIntyre, Take That’s Mark Owen, singer Olly Murs, Take Me Out’s Paddy McGuinness, Robbie’s best pal and co-founder Jonathan Wilkes, Heart FM presenter Jamie Theakston, Good Morning Britain’s Ben Shephard, former JLS star Marvin Humes, and Hollywood actor Dominic Cooper.

Taking a break: The TV chef is currently filming in Malaga

The celebs will be joined by ex-footballers Jamie Carragher, Teddy Sheringham, Jamie Redknapp, David Seaman, Matt Le Tissier with manager Sam Allardyce and coach Peter Reid getting some help from assistant manager Robbie and Bradley Walsh.

The Rest of the World team has host of Hollywood names including Olivier-award winner Martin Sheen (Captain), Oscar-nominated actor Jeremy Renner, X-Men star James McAvoy, Glee’s Mark Salling, Avatar star Sam Worthington, Super Fun Night’s Kevin Bishop and Santiago Cabrera, known for his work in The Musketeers and Heroes.

Gordon, Man Vs Food’s Adam Richman, presenter Patrick Kielty and Westlife’s Nicky Byrne make up the rest of the team that will be managed by Chelsea’s José Mourinho, and also have the help of Alessandro Del Piero, Andriy Shevchenko, Edgar Davids, Edwin van der Sar and Jaap Stam.

Jennifer Lopez flashes the flesh in plunging purple leotard for energetic performance on American Idol finale

She returned to the judges' table this season to pass her wisdom on to hundreds of pop wannabes on American Idol.

But on Wednesday's finale, Jennifer Lopez letting her performance do the talking, as she took to the stage for a powerhouse performance of her new single First Love.

Sporting a plunging purple fringed leotard with flesh flashing panels, the 44-year-old actress and singer shimmied her way through the number.

She teamed her outfit with flesh coloured fishnet tights and high heeled lace up boots.
She wore her long light brown hair loose around her shoulders and flipped it in circles on top of the judge's table at one point.
And at the end of the number, J-Lo sung a few bars of her hit single Jenny From The Block, much to the audience's delight.

The Idol audience were in for a further treat when the star swapped her costume for a marginally more demure number to perform with fellow judges Keith Urban and Harry Connick Jr along with advisor Randy Jackson.
Sporting a flared skirt and sheer top with pretty embroidery protecting her modesty, the star wore her hair in an updo and held a tambourine as she sung Cyndi Lauper's True Colors and Fleetwood Mac's Go Your Own Way.

It’s the celebrity wedding of the year, taking place in the most Romantic city in the world, so it comes as no surprise to see Kris and Bruce getting swept up in the moment. If anything, we’re totally rooting for this power couple!

And, in a well-timed nod to the Parisian fashion house, Kris stepped out yesterday sporting this classic Chanel ensemble. Hailing from the brand’s infamous spring 2013 collection, this navy number is a quirky take on their signature design, featuring classic pearl buttons, a flattering nipped in waist and wide collar.
It's the general consensus in the Fashion Finder office that a Chanel jacket would be the ultimate designer buy.

But, if like us, this is more of a fashion pipe dream, it's still possible to get the look without spending a fortune. Check out our edit of the best pearl-adorned jackets (below), for a budget-friendly approach to the look.

Kris wears her giant wedding ring as she's flanked by Bruce in Paris

With her daughter Kim Kardashian's wedding right around the corner, love is certainly in the air in the City Of Lights.

And perhaps Kris Jenner, 58, is under Cupid's spell, as she was spotted wearing her sparkler Tuesday and Wednesday in Paris, amid reports that she and her estranged husband Bruce Jenner, 64, are separated.

The pair announced they had split in October, but signs show that Kris and Bruce Jenner could be rekindling their romance.

Though, this isn't the first time the momager has shown her nostalgia for her marriage with her husband whom she tied the knot with in 1991.

She's been caught wearing the giant rock a few times over past months.

Appearing Parisian-chic, Kris was also donning a textured black Pete Pan-collared blouse and matching pencil skirt with a pair of ankle-strap heels.

Rekindling? Kris and Bruce reportedly split in October

Jennifer Lawrence criticised for 'making an off-hand rape joke' at the Vanity Fair and Armani party in Cannes

It was meant as a joke, but unfortunately for Jennifer Lawrence her rape quip at the Cannes Film Festival has seen her roundly criticised, even by those who were previously the actress's champions.

At an industry party hosted by Vanity Fair and Armani party on May 17, Jennifer's off the cuff and off-hand remark was overheard, duly noted and subsequently has snowballed into a PR nightmare for the 23-year-old.

Jennifer had revealed that when she first met Gravity director Alfonso Cuarón she started screaming and approached him saying: 'I broke out my rape scream for you!'

With Jennifer being one of the few celebrities who doesn't have a Twitter account, there is still no apology, or comment on the matter, from either the actress or her PR team.

Party pooper: Jennifer Lawrence at the Vanity Fair and Armani party in Cannes where she allegedly made the rape joke

Celebrity blogger, Perez Hilton wrote: ‘We know you're always open and honest in interviews, but COME ON, a rape joke?!?

'We're sure she thought that what was said at the party was private, but even still, that's no excuse for a rape joke!! They're not funny, ever.’

Democraticunderground.com wrote: 'This time, however, Jen may have unintentionally shown fans a bit too much of her private side. Here's hoping she does some damage control before there's any permanent harm to her career.'

Party on: Jennifer Lawrence, Sam Claflin and Laura Haddock attend Lionsgate's The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 party at a private villa on May 17 in Cannes

Fishwrapper blog took this view: 'We're not mad, Jennifer, we're just disappointed. And, OK, we're pretty mad, too.'

Others though thought that perhaps people were making too much out of a remark which was meant to be private and never intended for public consumption.

'Jennifer Lawrence made a rape joke. Tumblr announces it's shutting down for the rest of the week!' wrote Better Khai Saul sagely on his Twitter.

Leaving town: Jennifer left the Cannes Film Festival the following day on May 18

Crushable website declared: 'By her blasé use of the terminology, it seems likely that she’s been lucky enough never to be in a situation necessitating that type of scream, or else I hope she wouldn’t throw it around so casually.'
Whether Jennifer will take the time to apologise or comment on the matter remains to be seen, as she is still currently filming the latest Hunger Games installments.
MailOnline contacted Jennifer Lawrence's representatives for a comment on this story.

Manchester United seal £20m deal for Toni Kroos as Louis van Gaal gives his approval

Manchester United have agreed a deal to sign Bayern Munich midfielder Toni Kroos and are set to make a stunning move for his team-mate Arjen Robben.

A £20million deal for Kroos was agreed when David Moyes was still in charge at Old Trafford and his successor, former Bayern coach Louis van Gaal, has said the move can go ahead.

Kroos, 24, flourished under Van Gaal at Bayern and is keen to work under his old coach again.

The same is true of Robben, who was one of Van Gaal’s first signings in Germany when he joined from Real Madrid for £20m in 2009.

The 30-year-old winger has recently signed a three-year deal but that is unlikely to discourage Holland coach Van Gaal, who will be working with Robben at the World Cup.

United are understood to have agreed a £27m fee with Southampton for left back Luke Shaw and Borussia Dortmund centre half Mats Hummels is a target.

Charlotte Church tones it down she teams harem-style trousers with blazer and mirrored shades

After leaving BBC Radio 2 in a bright orange number last week, Charlotte Church couldn't have chosen something more different when she headed out in the capital on Wednesday.

The Welsh opera singer blended in with the crowds thanks to her all-black outfit as she perused a number of stores.

The 28-year-old hid her famous curves and instead opted for a comfortable pair of harem-style pants, complete with cuffed hem.

It's summer you know! Charlotte Church must have been feeling a little warm after stepping out in an all-black outfit for a shopping trip in London on Wednesday

The on-trend mother-of-two appeared to be solo for her outing, while sporting a pair of matching mirrored shades.

Despite the rising temperatures, Charlotte's look wouldn't have looked out of place in winter thanks to her thick blazer.

However, she did opt for a pair of flip-flops, while injecting a hint of colour to her outfit by carrying a pale blue bag on her shoulder.

Time for some colour? The Welsh opera singer kept her long-sleeved blazer on as she perused the shops, while carrying a pale blue bag

Blending in: The 28-year-old teamed her jacket with a comfy pair of harem-style trousers, featuring cuff hem

She has been spotted in several eye-catching ensembles of late and the brunette beauty had stayed true to her current sartorial form up until now..

On Monday of last week, the former child star was hard to miss in her vibrant dress which she teamed with a navy cardigan, which featured silver fringe detailing.

She accessorized her ensemble with the same blue snakeskin handbag, and golden gladiator sandals.

The rules were challenged by agent Daniel Striani but his complaints that it affects wages and locks down power for the continent's biggest teams were rejected

Uefa has won a legal challenge to the European Commission that put into jeopardy the future of their Financial Fair Play (FFP) legislation.

The regulations, which have been in place for four years, aim to improve the overall financial health of European football by encouraging clubs to run in a more economically sustainable manner.

While Malaga was the highest profile club banned from European football last season, bigger outfits have felt the pinch recently, with Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain just two of the teams sanctioned this term.

Last year, agent Daniel Striani challenged the rules, arguing that they would result in restricted investment in clubs and damage player wages while ensuring power in football remained with the continent's biggest clubs.

The Commission, though, sent a letter to Striani and Uefa, rejecting the complaint and insisting it will not investigate it any further. It was noted that no club had complained to the European Commission about FFP and that the Commission itself was widely consulted about the rules before they were implemented.

Striani has four weeks to submit observations before the decision is made final.

A spokesman said: "Uefa is very pleased that this decision by the European Commission upholds all aspects of the FFP regulations."

The decision comes just days after Uefa laid down sanctions against several clubs, including City, who were judged to have breached FFP rules. The Premier League champions were given a €60m fine to be paid over three years and have been restricted to registering 21 players in next season’s Champions League squad, while they must maintain wages at their present level.
Striani's lawyer, Jean-Louis Dupont, also brought the case in a Belgian court, so it is yet possible it will proceed. He could not be reached for comment.
