The Great Gatsby star Joel Edgerton shows off his muscular physique as he goes shirtless for an early morning swim

With a co-star like Leonardo DiCaprio, The Great Gatsby actor Joel Edgerton didn't have much chance of standing out as eye candy in Baz Luhrmann's recent film.
But the 39-year-old actor certainly didn't have that problem as he went shirtless on Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia, earlier this month.
Joel showed off his impressive muscular physique as he made the most of the sunshine and enjoyed the warm water.

The Australian actor was seen wrapping a towel around his waist after emerging from the sea, later putting on a grey tank top as he prepared to head home from the day on the beach.
Joel has gone from relative unknown to causing a stir in the movie industry his films this year.
After making a name for himself in Gavin O'Connor's 2011 drama Warrior, Joel subsequently landed a series of high-profile gigs including The Great Gatsby and The Odd Life of Timothy Green alongside Jennifer Garner.

He was also cast in western Jane Got a Gun opposite Natalie Portman and will take a starring role in Jeff Nichols' sci-fi film Midnight Special.
And it was reported this week that Joel is in the middle of talks to join upcoming movie Exodus, playing Egyptian ruler Ramses alongside Christian Bale's prophet Moses in Ridley Scott's biblical epic.
Scott has been planning the project for a while, but things fell into place earlier this year when Steve Zaillian signed on to rewrite Adam Cooper and Bill Collage's original draft, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

X Factor judge jokes he will star in rival show Strictly Come Dancing

Louis Walsh could put his ballroom moves to the test as a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing.
The X Factor judge claims he will star on the rival BBC One dancing competition which is due to air in the autumn.
The mogul recently announced that he would quit the X Factor after the upcoming series in order to focus on music management. 

Set to put on his dancing shoes? Louis Walsh arrives at the launch of this year's X Factor at the Corinthian Hotel in London

Speaking to the Daily Star newspaper, he said:  ’I am going to be a contestant on 'Strictly Come Dancing'. But I am saying no more than that.’

But if the star is serious about joining Strictly, his appearance in the competition is sure to frustrate X Factor bosses.

Both shows attract huge TV audiences and are aired at similar times on a Saturday night. 

Team: Louis poses with his fellow X factor judges Nicole Scherzinger, Gary Barlow, Sharon Osbourne and pet dog Bella

The star has recently faced criticism from Mel C, who said his departure from the X Factor will benefit the show.
The former Spice Girl, who fell out with Louis in 2003, told Richard Bacon on Radio 5 Live: ‘I think it would be a gain if he left, wouldn't it?’

She added: ‘What does he actually do?’

When Richard said that Louis had managed successful boybands such as Westlife and Boyzone, Mel replied: ‘Sorry, he has done a hell of a lot for the industry. I take it all back.’

Legend: Veteran Strictly Come dancing presenter Bruce Forsyth poses with co-host Tess Daly

Louis is also unlikely to get a friendly reception from Strictly co-host Sir Bruce Forsyth.

He hit out at the 85-year-old star, saying that he ‘shouldn't even be alive’ at his age.

He also said: ‘Brucie is too old. He's from a different era.

‘He doesn't know anything about young people or modern entertainment. His time is finished.’

The TV veteran retorted: ‘Louis Walsh said I should be dead by now. Can you believe that, from a jumped-up karaoke judge?’

Michelle Keegan mistakenly reveals Corrie storyline outcome as she tweets a picture of her script

Dedicated Coronation Street fans have been kept on the edge of their seats as the storyline between David Platt and his pregnant wife Kylie heats up.
But while ITV bosses have been keeping viewers guessing as to who the father of her baby is, it seems that Michelle Keegan may have inadvertently let it slip.
The actress posted a picture of co-star Jack P Shepherd on her Twitter account on Tuesday, with two scripts lying just in shot on the table, much to her followers' amusement.

Slip up: Michelle Keegan posted a picture of co-star Jack P Shepherd on Tuesday, with Coronation Street scripts mistakenly in shot

Although the star quickly deleted it, a number of Twitter users managed to retweet and save it before she realised her mistake.
The section on show describes a scene where Jack's character David receives the DNA results that he had secretly requested, following his wife's one night stand with his brother, Nick.

Huge storyline: Viewers have been waiting in anticipation to find out who is the father of Kylie's baby

Feisty character: Michelle plays Tina in the soap, who will discover that it was David who put his brother Nick into a coma

  

Some Twitter fans admitted that they zoomed in to try and work out the spoiler from the picture, although there was some disagreement about what it actually said.
In what is one of the soap's key storylines, Kylie, played by Paula Lane, will give birth next month, unaware that her husband knows that she slept with his brother.
David confides in barmaid Tina after she discovers that it was him who put Nick in a coma, and goes about trying to secretly order a DNA test.

Dramatic: David's brother Nick ended up in a coma thanks to his actions, which Michelle's character Tina discovers

Michelle's Twitter snap is of her co-star smoking a shisha pipe in a cafe during a rehearsal session, obviously unaware that the two scripts were clearly visible.
It's not the first time that Michelle has got into trouble for posting Twitter snaps, as a picture of herself apparently topless appeared on her account on April.
The snap was saved and shared by a number of her 1m-plus followers before it was deleted six seconds after it appeared.
But she denied being the unidentified woman in the picture and blamed a pal for hacking her account.

Part of the family: Michelle was at a family party with boyfriend Mark Wright at the weekend

Nostalgic Peaches Geldof shares a cute snap of her Jewish wedding dance

She married her rocker boyfriend last year and it is clear that Peaches Geldof has not got tired of sharing her wedding snaps.

She recently posted a candid photo of herself dancing a traditional Jewish wedding dance with her new husband.

Looking the picture of happiness, the TV presenter was pictured laughing as she is raised on a chair alongside hubby Thomas Cohen.

Joy: Peaches Geldof dances the Jewish Horah dance at her wedding to Thomas Cohen last September

The 24-year-old shone in an an elegant shimmering evening dress and wore her hair in a glamorous up 'do.
She captioned the photo: ‘Me and @woodsock dancing the traditional Jewish wedding dance the Hora on our wedding night with his dad Keith in front!’
The couple married in September at the same church where the funeral of Peaches’ mother Paula Yates was held 12 years ago.

Cute couple: Peaches and Thomas have been dating for almost three years and married in 2012

The Jewish Horah wedding ritual, which involves the wedding party lifting the married couple onto chairs and dancing around them, is a nod to the couple’s Jewish heritage.

Cohen told the Mail on Sunday: ‘My parents met on a kibbutz in Israel, I’m very proud to be Jewish and a big part of me being a creative person comes from being Jewish. The eccentricity in Jewish musicians really connects with me.’
‘Peaches is Jewish – her grandmother is Jewish – she only discovered it last year. It makes a lot of sense to me.

Proud mum: Peaches regularly keeps her followers updated on her young family, sharing a snap of her youngest son, Phaedra Bloom

‘She seems to me like a Jewish woman, the way she thinks and behaves. The first present I ever bought her was a Star of David from an antiques shop in Covent Garden. She wears and really loves it.'
The couple have two sons, Astala Dylan Willow, two, and Phaedra Bloom Forever, four-months old.

This is the second marriage for Peaches, who wed American singer Max Drummey in Las Vegas in 2008 and divorced from him three years later.
