Madonna shows off diamond encrusted grills as she attends Menton music festival with boyfriend Brahim Zaibat

Madonna showed off her distinctive looking grills when she arrived in the south of France accompanied by boyfriend Brahim Zaibat.
The 54-year-old singer was paying a visit to Menton, a picturesque coastal town close to the French-Italian border and site of the annual Festival de Musique de Menton – a celebration of classical music with performances from a range of global artists and symphony orchestras.

But while then occasion was all about classical music, Madonna also took the opportunity to show off the distinctly urban grills she previously showcased for followers on picture messaging service Instagtram.

The bizarre fashion accessory includes 24 diamonds and an open-tooth design that shows her real teeth underneath.

Something to smile about: The singer shows off her grills as she arrives at the event in southern France with Brahim Zaibat

Evidently delighted with her new mouthpiece, Madonna has since showing them off in a range of shots over the last few weeks, including one in which he appears to be biting down on a sword.

Dressed a little less provocatively than usual in a polka dotted black dress and white cardigan, Madonna was spotted taking in performances from concert pianist sisters Katia and Marielle Labèque and Basque band Kalakan, with whom the singer is close friends.
But while Zaibat looked bright and cheerful in a Comme des Garcons T-shirt, his famous girlfriend looked distinctly weary as they entered the venue for a night of world music.
Indeed, Madonna appeared to be ready for a good nights sleep as she ran a hand through her hair, her eyes downcast as she followed festival art director Paul Thomas Emmanuel into the event, with a grinning Zaibat bringing up the rear.

Exhausted: The pop legend runs a hand through her hair as she arrives at the venue for a performances from piano sisters Katia and Marielle LabËque and Basque trio Kalakan with Zaibat and festival artistic director Paul Thomas Emmanuel

Eyes right: Something has caught Madonna's eye as she arrives accompanied by her young boyfriend

The Borderline singer added a touch of mainstream glamour to an event not generally known for attracting mainstream celebrities.
But while she was warmly greeted at the event, she’s said to be less welcome in Russia after reportedly violating the terms of her visa by claiming money for a performance in St. Petersburg last year.
According to ABC performers are not allowed to earn money in the country while visiting on a tourist visa.
Lady Gaga has been accused of breaching the same rule while performing in Moscow and St. Petersburg with her Born This Way tour in 2012, but insiders claim real the source of the controversy is their apparent promotion of gay rights while visitors.

Seats please: The festival director places a hand on the hitmaker's back as she makes her way to her seat

Passing the time: Madonna and Zaibat chat to another guest as they wait for the performance to get underway

Material girl: Madonna looked surprisingly low-key in a black polka-dotted dress and white cardigan at the Menton music festival

‘The Russian government is sending a shot across the bow to Lady Gaga, Madonna, and other performers who are taking up gay rights in Russia,’ Centre for the National Interest executive director Paul Saunders told ABC.
During her concert in Russia, Madonna reportedly told the audience: ‘Gay people here and all around the world have the same rights.’
The comment is understood to have incensed advocates of St. Petersburg’s anti-gay law, which prohibits people to openly talk about homosexuality around minors.
Anyone breaking the law face potential fines, deportation and – in extreme cases – imprisonment.

Miss World moved to Bali after Muslim protests in Jakarta

Indonesian Muslim hardliners have resumed protests against the Miss World pageant as organisers said the event would go on as scheduled this weekend on the resort island of Bali.
In Jakarta, the capital, about 1,000 members of the hardline Islamic group Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia rallied outside the building housing the local organiser of the contest.
Chanting "Allah akbar" (God is great), the protesters, mostly women, waved banners reading "Miss World Culture Liberalisation Campaign" and "Reject Miss World".
There were also protests in the Sumatran cities of Medan and Pekanbaru, and in Makassar, in Sulawesi. Protesters gathered at council buildings, calling on the government to revoke the permit for the contest.
The organiser, MNC media group, said it was not possible to cancel the contest or move the venue, and said the government had given assurances that it would provide security and protection for the event.
"I think there is a misunderstanding," Hary Tanoesoedibjo, head of MNC, said in Bali on Wednesday. "I assure that there will be nothing that runs against our culture. I would not accept if there was a bikini show."
The chair of the Miss World Organisation, Julia Morley, had earlier confirmed that none of the contestants would wear a bikini.
The competition will be held partly on Bali, with the final round set for 28 September on the outskirts of Jakarta.
Budi Rusmanto, an organiser in Jakarta, said: "The contest will not be different from other beauty pageants in Indonesia. The only difference is the participants."
Rejection of the event has come not only from hardline groups but also from the country's most influential group of clerics, the Indonesia Ulema Council, whose fatwas are followed by many devoted Muslims.
Last week the council urged the government to cancel the event, saying the exposure of skin by women in such a competition violated Islamic teachings.
Most Muslims in Indonesia are moderate but a small extremist fringe has become more vocal in recent years.
On Wednesday, hundreds of protesters took to the streets in Surabaya, Indonesia's second largest city, and Bandung, the West Java capital. On Tuesday, hundreds rallied in Jakarta.
The Islamic Defenders Front, a hardline group with a long record of vandalising nightspots, hurling stones at western embassies and attacking rival religious groups, has pledged to disrupt the event if it is allowed to be held in Indonesia.

Just to scare HALLOWEEN guests: Simon Cowell's face is engraved on pumpkin outside Jonathan Ross' home

The spooky transformation of Jonathan Ross' family home in Hampstead was completed with a particularly eye-catching carved pumpkin.
Although this may sound fairly normal for this time of the year, it was the design that the TV host had chosen which proved to be a little unusual.
The X Factor USA judge Simon Cowell was immortalised on the large orange vegetable, to welcome famous guests to the infamous Halloween party on Thursday.

Scary stuff indeed! A pumpkin with Simon Cowell's face carved into it sits outside Jonathan Ross's home

No one could accuse Ross of not taking Halloween seriously when preparations began on Wednesday, and were finished off with the pumpkin and a gruesome dangling head.
The whole exterior of the TV host's three-storey property was in the process of receiving a ghoulish makeover, as builders got to work transforming it into a spooky castle.
The 52-year-old will be hoping to trump last year's celebration which was attended by Gwen Stefani, Stephen Fry, Bryan Ferry and Chloe Moretz.

Veg-Factor! The carving undoubtedly resembles the father-to-be

More cobwebs needed: The star will be hoping this year's event will trump last year's celeb-packed bash

The front of the house was covered in large cobwebs and creepy gargoyles, while the windows were boarded up with bars and ivy.
There was a number of pumpkins sat outside the front door in true Halloween style, while the normally white door was hidden by scaffolding.
The star tweeted at the weekend to say: 'We are compiling our Halloween playlist and reminiscing on how good Mighty Boosh were. Nice way to spend a Saturday!'

Count Dracula: The TV host really upped the ante at last year's party

Hidden: Builders can be seen working on the spooky exterior which hides the whole front of the property

Last year the presenter dressed up as Count Dracula complete with top hat, long yellow talons and a red, silk-lined cape.
Speaking at a Halloween event at the weekend, Jonathan told the Crawley and Horley Observer: 'The kids enjoy Halloween and so do we.
'Every year we throw our own Halloween party and create our own spooky maze in our back garden'.

Going all out! Guests at last year's event included Gwen Stefani, Stephen Fry and Bryan Ferry

Terrifying: Kate Moss and Jamie Hince sported white face paint and Adam's Family style robes for last year's party

If the impressive surroundings weren't enough for guests at last year's bash, they were also welcomed by performers on stilts dressed in scary costumes.
Children who visited the property trick or treating were rewarded with candy floss, which left them looking very happy indeed.
Stefani arrived looking like a zombie Sandy from Grease while QI host Fry wore a noose around his neck and a flamboyant, gold baroque outfit.

Vincent Kompany hosts charity dance party in Brussels with 2manydjs to raise money for children living in poverty

Between winning the Premier League with Manchester City and leading Belgium's charge at the World Cup, Vincent Kompany somehow found time to host a gala fundraiser and dance party featuring 2manydjs for children in poverty.

The City and Belgium captain donned a three-piece suit and black tie and accompanied his wife Carla Higgs to his Go Crazy for Charity event in Brussels on Wednesday night.

Other guests include former tennis world No 1 Kim Clijsters, also an ambassador for the charity, and Kompany's sister Christel, who is president of his Belgian Promotion league football club BX Brussels.

The party, which had Belgian club superstars 2manydjs and DJ Lorenzo Ottati scheduled to play at 1am and 3am respectively, was in honour of SOS Children's Villages for which Kompany is an international ambassador.

Kompany, just back from a City jaunt to Abu Dhabi and due to appear in a friendly for Belgium against Luxembourg on May 26, has been involved with the charity for nine years.

When named an international ambassador in April, Kompany said: 'No child should grow up alone, without love and a stable home. Yet, sadly over 150 million children experience the fear of being alone, without love, without a family and without safety and stability.'

Belgium's World Cup group H campaign begins on June 17 against Algeria.

Supporters: Clijsters with her husband Brian Lynch and Gevaert with her husband Djeke Mambo

In the family: Christel Kompany is president of brother Vincent's football club BX Brussels

Christina Hendricks keeps her figure under wraps in demure navy dress

She is one of the stars of Sixties drama Mad Men and when it comes to technology it appears as if Christina Hendricks is stuck firmly in the past.

While the beautiful 39-year-old actress looked elegant at the Variety Studio powered by Samsung Galaxy at Palihouse in West Hollywood on Thursday, she almost ruined an attempt at a group selfie with some fellow actresses.

As Lena Heady held up her phone and Molly Parker, Anna Gunn, Bellamy Young and Michelle Monaghan gathered round, Christina was busy looking behind her and almost missed the proceedings but the group persevered and eventually got their shot.

Wrong way Christina: Mad Men beauty Hendricks got distracted as her famous friends including (L-R) Molly Parker, Anna Gunn, Lena Headey, Bellamy Young and Michelle Monaghan attempted a group selfie

Since Ellen DeGeneres' infamous Oscar selfie because the most retweeted tweet ever, group selfies have become extremely popular and the selection of actresses tried their own version at the event on Thursday.

Christina was demure in a navy dress which covered up her famous curves.

Concentrate; Once they got Christina's attention the group worked hard to get their shot

The money shot! The six famous faces finally managed to get themselves all into the same frame as Anna Gunn snapped a picture

With her red hair styled in loose waves, the look was elegant and sophisticated and quite similar to costumes from Mad Men.

Christina completed her look with a pair of red heels, which perfectly accented her striking dress.

And she wasn't the only one who made an effort with her famous pals also showing off their individual style.

Elegant: Christina opted for a demure navy dress which she jazzed up with red shoes as she attended the Variety event on Thursday

Power players: Hendricks and Bellamy Young are currently starring in two of TV's most successful shows, Mad Men and Scandal respectively

Patriotic: Michelle Monaghan's heels were the colour of the American flag as she posed for a picture with Christina on Thursday

Headey was the most casual in jeans and a shirt but she jazzed her look up with a pair of tan heels.

Parker opted for a black trouser suit and matching patent heels for a businesslike outfit while Gunn displayed her recent weight loss in a little black dress.

Young - who plays First Lady Mellie Grant in Scandal - was suitably elegant in a red dress while Monaghan chose a grey shift and heels in the colours of the America flag.

Stunning: Soft make-up emphasised Christina's pretty features as she attended the Variety Studio event in Hollywood on Thursday

Strike a pose: Despite her selfie mishap, Hendricks is comfortable in front of the camera and knows how to strike a pose

Ever professional: Following their selfie fun, the six actresses took part in a round table discussion

While Christina was in a great mood at the Variety event, she had a tough time in Cannes recently when her new movie was booed at the 67th annual Film Festival.

Lost River, Ryan Gosling's first film as a writer and director, was loudly booed at a press screening in the French riviera city.

'Boos reportedly drowned out the applause,' according to Entertainment Weekly.
