Nicole Scherzinger brings the glamour in cut-out dress

Her daring fashion choices were talked about almost as much as her crazy catchphrases were during the last series of the X Factor.
And showing she’s getting off on the same foot this year Nicole Scherzinger made sure she turned heads as she arrived to begin filming the bootcamp section of the popular ITV show on Thursday.
But not wanting to be outdone Sharon Osbourne made sure her return to the singing competition didn’t go unnoticed– as she arrived showing off a rather fresher looking face.

Ready to judge: Louis Walsh, Sharon Osbourne, Nicole Scherzinger and Gary Barlow arrived to film the bootcamp section of the X Factor on Thursday

The 60-year-old looked younger than her years as she posed alongside Nicole, Louis Walsh and Gary Barlow.
Dressed in a wide leg black trouser suit, the wife of Ozzy, looked ready for business and raring to go. 
Sharon, who showed off her perfectly coiffed deep red hair, was no doubt excited about her return to the show, replacing Tulisa this year.

Nicole also looked ecstatic to be there as she showed off her impressive figure in an interesting ensemble consisting of a red double zip skirt and a white top with a cut-out detail and racer straps.
It was however her hair which raised the most eyebrows as the singer, who is the face of Herbal Essences, wore her locks in an interesting bun with the front section falling loose to frame her face.
Revealing her slim legs the skirt fell just below her derriere and her lithe legs looked even longer than usual with the help of a pair of black Cilla stilettos by Kurt Geiger. 

Chatting: The judges all appeared to be getting along well as they got to work on the show

  

Her co-judge Louis opted for a different look to usual –wearing a black open neck shirt with his suit.
The Irishman was no doubt feeling slightly emotional as he recently confirmed this would be his last year on the show – so his final time attending bootcamp.
Standing a little bit aside from the rest of the group was head judge Gary Barlow, who looked surprisingly casual for the day’s activity.

Hair raising: Nicole showed off a very interesting hair style which complimented her fashionable dress

Wearing a pair of dark green chinos with a short sleeve blue shirt, he added a pair of blue shoes which didn’t particularly match the outfit. 
Taking to Twitter during the morning, Gary wrote: ‘Beautiful morning ! Boot camp starts today #XFactor’
The gang appeared to all be getting along very well and were seen laughing and joking with each other before heading in for a hard day of decision making.
It’s not just the change of panel which makes the 10th series of the X Factor different, hopefuls will - for the first time ever - have to tackle two sets of auditions.  First, they will face the judges eyeball to eyeball in an intimate audition room.
If they receive three or more yeses here they will then have to perform for the judges once more, this time in an arena, to prove they can also impress an audience before securing a coveted place in the next stage in the competition – bootcamp.

Doing a Beyoncé! Hollyoaks actress Jessica Fox shows off new pixie crop as she heads out in skintight jeans and a turquoise top

When the Queen of Pop debuts a new hairstyle, you know it's going to be big.
And it seems that Hollyoaks star Jessica Fox is on the same wavelength as Beyoncé, showing off a new pixie crop as she headed out on Thursday.
The 30-year-old wore skintight blue jeans and an on-trend turquoise draped top as she wandered through London with a pal in tow.

Gone for the chop: Hollyoaks actress Jessica Fox showed off her new pixie crop hairdo as she headed out in London on Thursday

While not everyone can pull it off, ditching the long straight hair in favour of a short, sleek crop seemed to work for the soap star as it highlighted her elfin features.
And clearly confident about the dramatic change, she grinned as she breezed through town, following an appearance on The Wright Stuff.
Jessica seemed to have got her low-key daytime look just right, showing off her slimline frame in the super skintight trousers.

Daytime chic: The star managed to pull off a simple but stylish daytime look, pairing skinny jeans and a draped turquoise top

Elfin: The new hair style suited Jessica's elfin features, seemingly pleased with it as she confidently breezed through town

The light-coloured top complimented her skin tone and she acessorised with a large white bag and a pair of Espadrille-style wedges.
Making the most of having a strapping young male friend with her, the actress persuaded him to carry her blue suitcase for her.
And it seems that the hair comparison with superstar Beyoncé didn't pass Jessica by, as she wrote on Twitter: 'Can only assume that Beyonce saw my hair cut and thought 'I'll have a bit of that'. Right?'

Got lost? Jessica and her pal wandered around London after she appeared earlier in the day on The Wright Stuff

Speaking to Digital spy, she said: 'They were really exciting to film. It took us about five days to film in total, which is a huge amount of time for Hollyoaks to spend on something.'
'Out of all my years at Hollyoaks, this definitely seems to be the storyline that's getting the biggest reaction, which can only be a good thing,' she added.

Charlie feels guilty as she targets Hazel in bumble bee task as she admits that their friendship is over

They've been at loggerheads since falling out over the live nominations at the beginning of the week.
And despite agreeing to be civil, it seemed that tensions were still fraught between Charlie and Hazel during Thursday night's Big Brother.
The Irish model got angry as she was targeted in the team's bumble bee task, leaving former friend Charlie feeling guilty.

Joining forces: Charlie and Gina were tasked with making the other housemates work during Thursday night's Big Brother, singling out Hazel

The morning after another tense day in the house, Big Brother assigned housemates a new task, making Gina Queen Bee.
But the game was anything but light-hearted as Charlie was tasked with dishing out 'stings' to housemates not pulling their weight while making jars of honey.
And while the others took it in their stride, Hazel got more and more irate, telling the girls to: 'F*** off.'
Halfway through the task, Sophie confided to Gina that Hazel wasn't impressed with the task and was getting angry, spurring her on even more.

Not impresses: Hazel did not take kindly to being stung in the task, believing that she was getting the worst of it

Reign of terror: Gina and Charlie had a leisurely day while the others got to work producing jars of honey

The pair then decided to single Hazel out after being told that they would receive a champagne dinner for two if they picked someone.
Getting repeatedly stung, Hazel screamed out out in Charlie's direction: 'F***ing b***h. I'm not joking I'm about to go over there.'
Later in the bedroom, Gina told Charlie what she had heard, saying: 'Hazel just called us f***ing b***hes - she's going crazy.'
Charlie asked the others if she had heard her right, asking: 'Did she actually say f**king little b***hes?'
'The thing is it is just a task, you have got to try your best to have a laugh with it. I still don’t think it is necessary though. You can’t get angry at the people you are doing a task with,' she added.

Big Brother 2013: Hazel becomes irritated during bee task

Worker bees: The rest of the house had to spent the day working, while being stung by Gina and Charlie

Loggerheads: Tensions rose between Hazel and Charlie as the day went on

Resentful: In the diary room, Hazel admitted that she'd felt singled out all day thanks to Charlie and Gina

'You are all equal housemates, anyone has to be put in a position above you to be bossy and they don’t like it do they,' she added.
But a sore Hazel wasn't seeing the funny side of the task, telling the twins that she felt like she was being targeted.
'Over it…I will do it for us. But when I feel there is targeting going on it’s a bit silly at this stage. I was just about to say some people in this house need to get a life and that is what Charlie fell out with me about,' she said.
'I am not a walkover. I have given her enough chances and I am not into it anymore. I am civil to her and she is civil to me. Fair enough,' she added.

Frank discussion: While having their dinner, Gina and Charlie talked about how they didn't trust Hazel

Entertain me: Gina let the power go to her head and later ordered the twins and Hazel to dance for her

During a break in the task, Gina and Charlie chatted about the events following the nominations as Charlie admitted she was still worried.
'Half of me is thinking is it a bit drastic of me, the whole cut off the friendship over thing with Hazel,' she said.
'It was drastic, because I am like that…my family laugh at that. I might forgive people but there is always a bulb in my head that switches to that’s enough and I stick to that. I always do that,' said Gina
Feeling a little guilty, Charlie added: 'What is wrong with me? My caring side feels bad. I hope she feels alright. I felt bad did we pick the wrong person.'
'Maybe we should have picked someone who would have taken it more light-hearted. If they ask us again we will just pick someone else. I didn’t expect her to go that wild,' agreed Gina.

Refusing: Hazel said that she wouldn't make a fool of herself and dance on Gina's whim

In their stride: The twins weren't so precious and attempted an Irish jig for the rest of the group

Hazel later moaned about the task in the dairy room, saying: 'I kind of just go through it as much as I could and I was getting irritated by the stinging as it was really high.'
'Then I guess there was a bit of usual targeting thing which happens with every task where there was a bit of a division…I am glad we don’t all live in a Bee world and are constantly under the reign of Queen Bee.'
Meanwhile, Gina and Charlie enjoyed their dinner together, discussing the the phonecall from her boyfriend.
'He told me to stay away from Hazel,' said Gina. 'His voice changed, and I know now that I've been right about her from the beginning.'
And she made her feeling perfectly clear that evening in bedroom, alluding to the conversation while Hazel was 'asleep' next to her.

Turning on her: While Hazel slept beside them, Gina alluded to her feelings about her to the others

Asleep? Hazel looked like she was pretending to sleep as Gina talked about who she trusted and who she didn't

Gwen Stefani relaxes with her family on the beach in Cannes... while wearing an over-sized Paris T-shirt

She was spotted leaving the UK at the weekend as she headed to France for a family holiday.
But it seems that Gwen Stefani may have got confused about which part of the country she was flying to as she wore a T-shirt with the word Paris written on the front, even though she was sunning herself in Cannes on Thursday.
The No Doubt singer stuck to her style guns during her day on the beach with husband Gavin Rossdale and their two young sons, wearing her usual red lipstick and with her blonde hair poker straight.

Know where you are? Gwen Stefani wore a Paris T-shirt on Thursday, despite the fact that she was holidaying in Cannes

The singer, who has been spending every moment of the school holidays with Kingston and Zuma, was the doting mum yet again as she played with them in the sand.
But instead of stripping down to a bikini herself and showing off her much-lauded athletic figure, Gwen stayed almost completely covered up.
She paired the oversized T-shirt, which read 'Paris, France', with a calf length white skirt, held up by a black belt.

Beach attire: The singer certainly didn't blend in during her day out with the family in a long white skirt and baggy T-shirt

Getting involved: Gwen spent most of her time watching her two young sons who were playing in the sea

On mum duty: The star kept charge of all their belongings and took charge of the day out while the boys played

Covered up: Gwen made sure that she didn't flash much flesh, even protecting herself from the sun with an umbrella

Looking not quite beach-ready, Gwen wore her long blonde hair perfectly styled, and instead of going bare-faced she wore a full face of make-up.
Obviously wanting to keep up her trademark image, despite the fact that she was having a day by the sea, Gwen stood out compared to all the other bikini-clad holiday-makers.
And the American star seemed more concerned about playing with her little ones than sunning herself, wading into the sea so that she could keep an eye on them.

Quick paddle; Instead of going for an actual swim, the singer made do with just dipping her feet in

Trademark look: even though she was relaxing on the beach, she kept her trademark hairstyle and bright red lipstick

Not so low-key: Instead of going simple for her day at the beach, Gwen had clearly put a lot of thought into her outfit

Her British rocker husband was also getting involved, spotted sitting in the surf as he splashed around with his boys.
The family of four landed in Nice on Saturday, with Gwen standing out from the crowd thanks to her all-in-one denim jumpsuit.
The family have been making the most of their summertime holiday in London so far and have been spotted spending lots of time together.

Playing: Gwen looked on as rocker husband Gavin Rossdale sat in the water with their sons

On Wednesday the foursome were spotted taking in a safari adventure at the Woburn Safari in Bedfordshire, enjoying a drive through the animal kingdom and taking spins on the zip line.
On Tuesday Gavin and Gwen took the children to the park in Primrose Hill to continue their fun-filled break.

Jet set style: Gwen looked on-trend in a denim jumpsuit as she landed in Nice just days before

Emma Roberts 'turned away from bakery' after trying to queue jump to get a popular Cronut

Her star is continuing to rise but Emma Roberts is starting to display some diva tendencies.
On Thursday, the actress was rather embarrassingly turned away from a New York bakery after attempting to skip the queue.
Emma rocked up at the Dominique Ansel Bakery, home to the Cronut - a combination of a croissant and donut which is currently all the rage.

Don't you know who I am?: Emma Roberts attempted to queue jump to get a Cronut from the Dominique Ansel Bakery in New York on Thursday

Upon seeing a queue of hungry customers winding around the block, the 22-year-old and her publicist allegedly attempted to skip to the front, but were sent to the back of the line by the doorman.
Emma apparently then slunk back to the end of the queue but gave up on waiting after several minutes.

Later on Emma appeared on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon in a white lace off-the-shoulder dress with nude panel to simulate a plunging neckline, and finally got what she wanted as the host presented her with a Cronut.

Rejected: The actress and her publicist were embarrassingly turned away by the bakery's doorman 

'Embarrassed' Emma signs autographs after being 'turned away from...

All the rage: Everyone is trying to get a piece of the croissant and donut hybrid, but Emma was impatient

Perhaps the niece of Julia Roberts ought to take a leaf out of Heidi Klum's book, as the supermodel scored herself a box of Cronuts after patiently making her way to the top of a waiting list.
'I have literally waited weeks to try one of @DominiqueAnsel's Cronuts and it was definitely worth the wait!' she tweeted on Thursday.
Heidi then shared a photo of herself on a private jet with a box strapped into the seat beside her and wrote that she was 'Flying back home with a box of #cronuts for my loved ones'.

Pretty in peach: Emma filmed Live With Kelly and Michael at the ABC Lincoln Center Studios earlier in the day

Mobbed: The 22-year-old greeted her adoring fans while promoting her latest film We're the Millers

Despite recently being arrested for domestic abuse after a fight with boyfriend Evan Peters, the incident doesn't seem to have put off Emma's fans.
The star and was mobbed for autographs as she arrived for an interview on Live with Kelly and Michael to promote her latest film We're the Millers.
Although it was the early hours of the morning and still dark outside, the actress looked fresh faced and immaculate in a pretty peach dress.

That's more like it: Heidi Klum had been patient and joined a waiting list to get hold of her Cronuts

Worth the wait: The supermodel was delighted with her sweet treats and strapped a box into the seat beside her while flying home to her family

The dress was flattering and feminine with a scoop neck and elbow length sleeves and a diaphanous A-line skirt that ended just above her knees.
Emma wore her hair in loose waves with a section pulled back to show off her face which was made-up to perfection with subtle hues highlighting her pretty features.
The actress kept her accessories simple with just a pair of delicate gold earrings and pointed black heels which gave her look an elegant edge.
