Some like it hot: Jessica-Jane Clement heated up the red carpet at the London premiere of Margin Call at the Vue West End


Fans at the Vue West End in London last night may have been hoping for a glimpse of Demi Moore at the Margin Call premiere.

But they had to make do with some more home-grown talent for a touch of glamour, with I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! contestant Jessica-Jane Clement turning up instead.

The 26-year-old heated tings up on the red carpet in a tantalising scarlet dress.


Jessica-Jane put her famous figure on show in the GorgeousCouture.com 'Alexis' dress with cut-out panels that flashed extra inches of skin.

The Real Hustle star debuted a new auburn hair colour, after weeks in the Australian jungle last year with her raven locks.

She added a hot pink clutch bag and silver heels to the outfit.

Revealing: The I'm A Celebrity star debuted a new red hair colour and her latest tattoo on her leg

Miss Clement, engaged to hairdresser Lee Stafford, proudly showed off her latest tattoo, which she acquired in December.

The lucky cat design , on her right calf, is called 'maneki neko' in Japanese and it literally means 'beckoning cat.'

Originally they were a symbol of luck for businesses that used to have them on their storefronts beckoning customers and advertising their shop.

Glamour: Bianca Gascoigne also attended, wearing a leopard-print wrap dress

The cat on Jessica-Jane's leg is holding a gold coin which is usually worth ten million ryou.

Also contributing to the glamour stakes was 25-year-old Bianca Gascoigne, who wore a leopard-print wrap dress with red platform heels.

While Demi Moore failed to show up, other stars were on hand to promote Margin Call to UK audiences.

Kelly Clarkson's bandage dress works overtime... to control her ample curves

By Daily Mail Reporter


Curves ahead: Kelly Clarkson performs at the Sony press event in Las Vegas in a clingy bandage dress


It has become a tried-and-tested trick for celebrities on the red carpet.

Last night, Kelly Clarkson poured her curves into a clingy bandage dress to perform at the Sony press event at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

The singer, 29, wore the popular Herve Leger style that promises to hug curves in all the right places.

And the tight blue dress certainly worked hard to contain her curvaceous figure and give her a slimmer silhouette.


The bandage dress has become a staple for stars including Kate Winslet, Jennifer Lopez, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Jennifer Love Hewitt.

Kelly chose a royal blue sleeveless one, which retails for $1,350, to appear at the convention, where she belted out hits including Mr Know It All.

The Miss Independent singer has turned to the style before, most recently wearing a gold version to perform on X Factor USA in November.


Star attraction: Kelly belted out hits from her new album


Flirtatious: Clarkson was welcomed on stage by CEO and President of Sony Corp. Sir Howard Stringer

Favourite style: Kelly Clarkson wore a similar style to perform on The X Factor USA in November

Kelly looked like she was having a great time on stage, flirting with CEO and President of Sony Corp. Sir Howard Stringer as he introduced her onstage.

She was joined at the event by Justin Timberlake, Ryan Seacrest and Will Smith, who were all invited to introduce new products to the press.

Miss Clarkson has been on a promotional spree in recent weeks, performing on Saturday Night Live and at the Allstate FanFest in New Orleans.


Big pockets: The company also shelled out for Justin Timberlake to appear at the press conference


Celeb friendly: Will Smith and Ryan Seacrest were among the A-listers invited to introduce new products

Kelly's profile is on the rise again, as she confirmed that she will make a guest appearance on the next season of The Voice.

The singer will join her good friend and The Voice mentor Blake Shelton as part of his team.

The arrangement may have been made when the pair partied together over New Year's with Blake's wife Miranda Lambert, who is also scheduled to guest-mentor, and his co-star Adam Levine.

Love Me Do! Playful Paul McCartney scoops Nancy Shevell off her feet on Jamaican break, as she displays petite figure in bikini

By Nadia Mendoza


Water baby: Nancy Shevell got into the spirit of her Jamaican holiday with Sir Paul McCartney by snorkeling


With less than three months of marital bliss; you might expect Nancy Shevell and Paul McCartney to still be relishing in the honeymoon period and opt for a post-festive getaway alone.

But the sociable couple have chosen to holiday with designer Ralph Lauren and his family; including fellow newlyweds Lauren Bush and David Lauren in Jamaica.

The group were seen soaking up the sunshine together, but the former Beatle clearly only had eyes for his wife as he was seen scooping her into his arms and lifting her from the floor.


Slender: Nancy shows off her trim figure and taut stomach in strapless pink bikini

The look of love: Newlyweds only have eyes for each other as son James awkwardly averts his eyes from their embrace

The duo, who married in a civil ceremony at Old Marylebone Town Hall last October, were also joined by Paul's children James and Stella, from his relationship with Linda, and Beatrice, from Heather Mills.

Nancy typically defied her 51 years, looking effortlessly beautiful in a bright pink bikini.

While she was undeniably slender, her trim figure suited her tall supermodel stature and she has maintained curves in all the right places with shapely thighs and a plentiful cleavage.


Going in for the kiss: Paul and Nancy still appear to be in the honeymoon period during their public display of affection


Young at heart: Paul and Nancy were joined by his children Beatrice, James and Stella from former marriages

Post-festive getaway: To coincide with his holiday, Paul has announced his new album will be called Kisses On The Bottom

She was adventurous by stepping into the water rather than just topping up her tan on a lounger.

And she put vanity aside by wearing goggles and a breathing device to have a go at snorkeling.

But despite being in the company of the Lauren family - and even Paul's children - she seemed most content when it was just the two of them strolling through the grounds.

Ahoy there! Nancy and Paul appear to be waving to a passing ship as they socialise with the Lauren family


Too hot? The temperatures prove too much for Nancy and she takes off her shorts and T-shirt

Fellow newlyweds: Lauren Bush and David Lauren tied the knot just one month before their friends in September

To coincide with their New Year break, McCartney also has another reason to celebrate.

The 69-year-old, who turns 70 in June, has ended weeks of speculation after revealing his upcoming album will, perhaps unusually, be called Kisses On The Bottom.


Keeping dry: Nancy covered up in a white sundress while Paul lurked beneath a towel


Covering up: Nancy was keen to avoid hair heat frizz by wearing her hat

Ready for a lie down? Paul arranges his towel with the help of Nancy after having been for a dip

It will be released next month and include two new tracks called My Valentine and Only Our Hearts.

The record will also feature a collection of tracks McCartney grew up listening to as a child; and is described as 'a deeply personal journey'.

On his website, Paul explained that the name of his new album came from the lyrics of the opening number I'm Gonna Sit Right Down And Write Myself A Letter, made famous by Fats Waller in 1935.


Bonding: Paul devoted time to James, who has followed in his father's musical footsteps with a singer/songwriter career


Swapping skills: While Stella is the designer, she took snapshots as photographer sister Mary was absent

Relaxing: James and Stella talked with Paul and new wife Nancy, who they clearly get along with better than former stepmother Heather Mills

The album was recorded at the legendary Capitol Studios in Los Angeles, New York and London throughout 2011 and features guest musicians Eric Clapton and Stevie Wonder.

Daughter Mary photographed her father for the album sleeve.


Affectionate: Even during a stroll, Paul and Nancy remained in contact by holding hands


Strolling along: The couple grabbed some alone time away from family and friends during a walk

'Bring back Holly Willoughby!' Christine Bleakley labelled 'bland and rigid' by viewers after Dancing On Ice debut

By Sarah Bull


'Bland and rigid': Christine Bleakley failed to impress with her debut on Dancing On Ice alongside Phillip Schofield last night


She had been hoping to find her niche after landing a presenting role on Dancing On Ice.

But Christine Bleakley failed to impress with her debut on last night's show, with many viewers coming forward to label the 32-year-old presenter 'bland and rigid'.

Christine presented the series premiere alongside Phillip Schofield, but left scores of DOI fans demanding the return of former host Holly Willoughby, who left the programme to take a role presenting BBC's new talent show The Voice.


One viewer wrote on Twitter: 'After watching Dancing on Ice last night Christine Bleakley has the warmth of a cold tap when it comes to presenting.'

While another wrote: 'Sorry may b alone in this bt Christine Bleakley is 2 stiff & starchy 4 DOI, need someone much more relaxed and natural, eek'

A further viewer added: 'Very happy that #dancingonice is back to its old form!! However, Christine Bleakley is awful and way too rigid! I miss #hollywilloughbooby.'


Muscular: Christine showed off her toned arms in a sleeveless red dress on the show


New line-up: While Christine didn't impress, the new judges, Louie Spence and Katarina Witt, won positive reviews

And another wrote: 'Christine has nothing on Holly, bring her back!'
Some other viewers contested that Christine had done well on her first show.

One tweeted: 'Co-host Christine Bleakley proved she has enough live TV experience for this gentle show.'

And another added: 'Christine Bleakley looks so pretty, I love that dress!'

A further viewer said that it was actually the new judges that had let the show down, writing: 'DOI - christine bleakley was gd but not feeling the new judges at all - esp louis!!! #bringbackjase&emma.'

An ITV spokesperson said: 'We’ve had positive feedback about Christine and Phillip presenting the new series of Dancing On Ice.'

However, Christine had chosen the perfect outfit for her DOI debut, showcasing her amazingly toned arms in a stunning full-length red sleeveless gown.

The mixed reactions to Christine's Dancing On Ice debut is likely to come as a disappointment to the presenter, whose contract with Daybreak ended early last year.

But her former co-host Adrian Chiles, who was also let go from the ITV show, can take cheer from having £1.5million in the bank, after accounts from his company Basic Broadcasting Limited reveal he doubled the amount of cash in the bank in 2011 from £740,574 in 2010 to £1.5million.

Chiles, 47, set up the company in 1996 with his now ex-wife, Radio 4 presenter Jane Garvey, to channel the pair's earnings, and his total assets now stand at £1.9million - up from £1.2million in 2010.


Not found her niche: Christine had been hoping to find more success with Dancing On Ice than she had on Daybreak with Adrian Chiles

Chiles and Bleakley joined Daybreak in September 2010 on reported £6 million-a-year salaries after a successful stint together hosting the BBC's The One Show.

Despite the reaction to Christine's Dancing On Ice debut, the show's new judges Louie Spence and Katarina Witt won positive comments from viewers on social networking sites.

And figures today show that a peak audience of an impressive 9.9million viewers watched the show.
