Giving things another go? Katie Price spotted on night out with ex Leandro Penna after 'he proposes on Christmas Day'

By Sarah Bull


New claims that Leandro asked Katie to marry him

Giving things another go: Katie Price was seen being carried out of a London nightclub by ex-boyfriend Leandro Penna on Sunday night


They split last year following claims that the language barrier was leading to problems in their relationship.

But it seems Katie Price is giving it another go with Leandro Penna, and started 2012 with her Argentinian ex-boyfriend in a London nightclub.

Leandro was seen carrying Katie into a waiting cab following a 'raunchy' night out with the mother-of-three at the Kassaba Lounge.


While the pair's faces could not be seen, Katie was identified by her black furry boots as Leandro's silver jumper was also spotted.

And a source at the nightspot on Sunday night said Katie and Leandro were clearly enjoying each other's company.

The source told the Daily Mirror: 'It was quite raunchy. They kissed on the dancefloor during the night. They were very smoochy with each other.

Destined for each other? It remains to be seen whether Katie and Leandro will properly rekindle their relationship following their night together


Things have been hotting up between them for a few weeks. The party on Sunday had a bikini theme so there were lots of girls in skimpy swimwear but Leo only had eyes for Katie.

'They stayed until about 3am, when Leandro ended up carrying her out to the car.'
And it has also been claimed that Leandro proposed to Katie on Christmas Day.

Katie is quoted by The Sun as telling a friend: 'Leandro came to mine on Christmas Day and asked me to marry him. It was completely out of the blue. I don't know what to do.'

A source claimed to the paper: 'Leandro is desperate to get back together with Katie and doesn't care that she has been out and about with other men since they broke up.

Happier times: Katie and Leandro posing in this cute Twitter photo last year


'He holds a flame for her and obviously believes asking for her hand in marriage will sweep her off her feet. But unfortunately, he doesn't feature in Katie's plans.'

A call to Katie's representative has yet to be returned.

While Katie has remained resolutely silent on her Twitter page over the past few days, Leandro has posted a series of cryptic messages.

He tweeted: 'If someone is stupid enough to get away from you, be smart enough to let it tog.'

Leandro then added: 'Life is short - kiss slowly, laugh loudly, love deeply and forgive quickly.'

Katie and Leandro quickly sparked a relationship after meeting at Elton John's Oscars party in Los Angeles in February 2011, just weeks after her split from second husband Alex Reid.

She was previously married to Peter Andre, with whom she has two children, Junior and Princess, and she is also mother to son Harvey, from her relationship with Dwight York.

How Simon Cowell lured Alesha from Strictly with a £350k pay packet: Dixon announced as new judge on Britain's Got Talent

By Ben Todd and Emily Sheridan


Alesha Dixon is leaving Strictly Come Dancing – for Simon Cowell’s ITV show Britain’s Got Talent.

The former pop star stunned BBC executives yesterday morning by quitting the Corporation’s flagship Saturday evening programme.

Within hours, she was unveiled as a judge in the revamped BGT, which begins auditioning for contestants later this month.

New role: Alesha Dixon has been confirmed as a new judge on Britain's Got Talent, just hours after quitting Strictly Come Dancing


Miss Dixon, 33, is said to be receiving £350,000 for her new job – believed to be three times her Strictly salary estimated at £100,000. Last night her manager Malcolm Blair insisted she had not moved for money. He said talks had been going on between ITV and Miss Dixon for the last ‘couple of weeks’.

However, he confirmed the BBC was made aware of her defection only yesterday morning.

'It was never about the money,' he said. 'Alesha’s had three incredible years on Strictly but there comes a time when you have to move on.'

ITV, though, is delighted with the 'coup'. One insider said: 'This is really good for BGT. Simon really wanted her on the show.'

A BBC executive, who learned of her exit only when told by the Mail, said he was surprised at the station’s decision.

He said: 'Alesha took a while to bed in at Strictly so I’m surprised ITV decided to book her.'

Another BBC insider said: 'Strictly is bigger than Alesha. We gave her her big break.'

Miss Dixon rose to fame in pop band Mis-Teeq, then won Strictly as a contestant before becoming a judge on the show.

Last night there were whispers she had quit because she wants to record an album and promote it in the autumn, when Strictly is on. This latest job would allow her that opportunity.

Whatever her motivation, the signing and financial outlay mark a huge investment by ITV and Cowell.

Both BGT and The X Factor, Strictly’s big rival, were hit by reduced ratings last year.

As they were: Cowell and Amanda Holden will be back for the new series, but David Hasselhoff and Michael McIntyre will not


The last series of BGT was the first in which Cowell was not a judge throughout the show, returning only for the live finals.

Two judges – former Baywatch star David Hasselhoff and comedian Michael McIntyre – were hired to replace Cowell and Piers Morgan, alongside Amanda Holden.

However, neither proved a success and left after just one series.

Miss Dixon will join a returning Cowell, Miss Holden and comedian David Walliams in the revamped line-up. Walliams is believed to be receiving £800,000 for his role.

In September 2010, there had been speculation linking Miss Dixon with a move to Cowell’s team on The X Factor.

However, she eventually signed to stay with Strictly, which enjoyed one of its most successful series.

Yesterday, Miss Dixon said: ‘I am delighted to be joining the judging panel of Britain’s Got Talent for 2012. It’s a fantastic show and I am very excited to be working with Simon, David and Amanda on the search for a new star.’

Cowell added: ‘I love Alesha. She is feisty, opinionated and knows what it’s like to be both a competitor and judge on a hugely popular TV show.’

Cowell, who has spent the past seven months in the U.S., insisted he was returning to BGT because he missed ‘the British public’.

He also revealed this year’s winner, as well as performing at the Royal Variety Performance, would receive a prize of £500,000 – with him putting up half the money.

In contrast, last year’s winner Jai McDowall received just £100,000.
Cowell, 52, said: ‘I miss Britain, and I miss the British public, and I miss judging them.’

Elaine Bedell, ITV director of entertainment and comedy said:'‘There’s no head judge quite like Simon Cowell. And I’m delighted David and Alesha will be joining Simon and Amanda on the panel.'

Who will replace her? Who will sit with Craig Revel Horwood, Len Goodman and Bruno Tonioli?


A BBC spokesman said: 'Alesha has had three really successful series of Strictly and we wish her well in the future.'

In a statement explaining her departure from Strictly, Miss Dixon said: 'After three incredible years on the Strictly Come Dancing judging panel I have decided that it is time to move on.

'Strictly Come Dancing will always hold a special place in my heart as it has been such an amazing experience, both as a winning competitor and as a judge.

'I would like to say a big thank you to everyone involved in the show, the production team, my fellow judges, and a very special thank you to the fans for their support.

'Music is my great passion and the reason for the other incredible opportunities that have come my way and I am looking forward to getting back into the studio and focusing on making a new record in 2012.'

Triumph: Dixon and Matthew Cutler in the final of Strictly Come Dancing in 2007


The new judging line-up for Strictly is not expected to be announced until late spring or early summer.

However, last night an internet campaign had started to bring back former judge Arlene Phillips.

The 68-year-old was controversially axed for Miss Dixon in 2009, sparking accusations of ageism.

Other early names being touted include ballet dancer Darcey Bussell, former ladette Zoe Ball and Dirty Dancing star Jennifer Grey.

In 2008, Cowell said: 'Strictly Come Dancing p***es me off more than anything else. I would love it. I just wish I owned that show.'

Maybe she should have ordered a curry! Heavily pregnant Beyoncé and Jay-Z saw in 2012 at Brooklyn restaurant

By Kirsty Mccormack


Still waiting: Beyoncé and her husband Jay Z pictured here in September last year spent New Year's Eve in New York restaurant Buttermilk Channel


Despite reports saying that she has given birth, Beyoncé spent New Year's Eve enjoying dinner with her baby bump still intact.

The 30-year-old singer saw in 2012 by dining with her husband Jay Z at Buttermilk Channel in Brooklyn, New York.

Chances are the pair weren't at one of the city's hottest restaurants with a newborn baby - proving that the Single Ladies star is still heavily pregnant.


According to Radar Online, the famous couple enjoyed a strictly A-list menu, but it is not known if any of the luxury dishes were at the top of Beyoncé's cravings list.

Foodrepublic.com states that the food on the night was a 'tour de force from the talented chef Ryan Angulo.'

It included a rich foie gras terrine with pickled grapes, butter-poached lobster, duck meatloaf with more seared foie gras and a bittersweet chocolate and duck jus.

No doubt Beyoncé has a healthy appetite at the moment and was making the most of being able to eat what she wants.

Me and my bump: The internet rumour mill went into overdrive on December 30 suggesting that Beyoncé, pictured here last month, had given birth


However, other reports claim that the Dreamgirls star gorged on fried chicken while Jay Z enjoyed some oysters.

Of course the singer would have skipped a champagne toast at midnight and probably opted for a glass of orange juice instead, but any day now she is expecting to become a mother.

And just because she's expecting, doesn't mean the singer is following the traditional maternity wear trends.

A source told People that Beyoncé had dressed up for the annual event: 'She looked amazing. She wore sky-high heels. It was really impressive for an enormously pregnant woman.

'She looked like she was about to give birth,' they added.

The internet rumour mill went into overdrive on December 30 with reports that Beyoncé had given birth to a baby girl.

Seeing in the New Year: The famous couple spent December 31 in Buttermilk Channel in Brooklyn, New York


According to reports - which neither the singer herself nor husband Jay-Z had confirmed - the U.S. star had named her daughter Tiana May Carter.

The news came after reports suggested that staff at St Luke's Roosevelt Hospital - a private facility in New York - had been told to prepare for a VIP arrival.

The singer has understandably spent the past few months in the Big Apple as she approaches her due date

No doubt she has spent a lot of the festivities relaxing in the multi-million pound penthouse apartment which she shares with her rapper husband.

'I was told I was too fat for the stage': Jennifer Ellison steps out in another bandage dress as she reveals why she lost five stone

By Emily Sheridan


Slim and trim: Actress Jennifer Ellison shows off her new size 8 figure in a CelebBoutique bandage dress at the Coterie restaurant in Widnes, Cheshire on New Year's Day


After losing five stone, no wonder Jennifer Ellison is showing off her trim physique in the tightest of dresses.

And as she stepped out in Cheshire last night, the former Brookside actress revealed the turning point that made her decide to lose weight.

The TV star, 28, revealed a director at a theatre audition said she was 'too fat' for the part, which prompted her to overhaul her diet and start working out.


Ellison admitted the cutting remark as she celebrated New Year's with dinner and drinks at the Coterie Wine Bar in Widnes - where she lives with husband Robbie Tickle and their son Bobby, 23 months.

Now a svelte and toned size 8, Ellison certainly had the last laugh as she showed off her figure in a £109 CelebBoutique Kimmy Adelisa bandage dress and a pair of towering Christian Louboutin platform heels.

The former Hell's Kitchen winner, who is set to star on the new series of Dancing On Ice, piled on the pounds while pregnant with Bobby and struggled to lose the weight after as she battled with post-natal depression.

Don't rain on my parade: Ellison didn't let the wet weather dampen her spirits

Although she was unhappy with her weight, it was an extra blow when her agent told her why she had missed out on a part she really wanted.

She told The Sun: 'My agent started off by telling me how sometimes we have to say things that are hurtful but that he wouldn't be doing his client justice if he didn't say it to them.

'Then he told me what the director had said about me. He said that I desperately needed to get back to my Chicago weight and that if I wanted to continue working in the West End I had to slim down.

'I felt so humiliated. I believed I had made a complete fool of myself in front of all those people at the audition. It was an awful time but I have to admit, that director did me a favour.'

The 5ft 7 star described herself as a 'hippo mamma' after she went from a size 8 to 18.

She lost some weight in 2010 after enrolling at boot camp in preparation for her nude scenes in the touring production of Calendar Girls.

But it wasn't until last year, she really started to conquer her weight battle.

She has now shared the secrets of her transformation in a new fitness DVD Jennifer Ellison's Fat Blaster Workout.

The new DVD, which is co-presented by celebrity personal trainer Elia Siaperas, sees Ellison go through a five step workout, including Fat Blaster, Tone Blaster, Box Blaster, Power Blaster and Belly Blaster.

Legally blonde (and curvy!) Reese Witherspoon shows off her enviable figure as she holidays with her children in Hawaii

By Kirsty Mccormack


Ready steady go! Reese Witherspoon runs into the sea with her son Deacon while on holiday in Hawaii today


She may be a Hollywood star but Reese Witherspoon looked like any other holiday-goer today.

The 35-year-old actress was spotted on a beach in Hawaii with her two children, Ava, 12, and eight-year-old Deacon, showing off her enviable figure.

The family looked like they were enjoying the New Year as they had fun in the sea with some boogie boards.


Reese certainly looked relaxed as she ran into the sea wearing a halterneck swimming costume.

The Legally Blonde star was showing off her curves in the teal-coloured swimsuit - which she teamed with a pair of aviator sunglasses.

However, it took her quite some time to make a decision about venturing into the water as she stood with friends and watched on as the children had fun.

At one point Reese was seen laughing with a female companion as she wore a large black baseball cap.

When she finally decided to join her children, she seemed a bit self-conscious of her figure and attempted to hide it with the large red and yellow board.

The mother-of-two was later seen wearing different swimwear in the form of purple bikini briefs and a red long-sleeved top.

She had also changed her sunglasses and was clutching a bottle of sun tan lotion and a foam rugby ball.

The Academy Award winner obviously didn't fancy taking to the sea in her two piece despite the sunny weather.

Her husband, Jim Toth, was nowhere to be seen as the group relaxed on the beach, but no doubt he was nearby if the family had seen in the New Year together.

Reese is probably enjoying some down time with her husband and children before she begins promoting her latest film, This Means War, which is scheduled to be released on February 17.

By Lucy Buckland


Showing what she's got: Until now, Coronation Street actress Michelle Keegan has kept covered up while on holiday in Barbados with her fiance, The Wanted's Max George


Until now, she has kept covered up as she joined her fiance on the beach.

But Michelle Keegan gave holidaymakers a New Year's Day treat as she stripped off to her bikini, revealing her incredible toned body.

The Coronation Street actress and her boyfriend Max George spent the first day of 2012 with his band mates from the Wanted, taking a sailing trip around Barbados.


The group were in the Carribbean to play a private New year's Eve concert with Rihanna at the plush Sandy Lane resort where Simon Cowell is staying.

Michelle, 24, boarded the boat in a cute floral white and pink dress, clinched at the waist with an elastic band, and a pair of black flip flops.

Max, 23, couldn't keep his eyes off his stunning fiancee as they walked up the beach.


What are you worried about? Michelle has previously said she doesn't feel confident about her body, despite being voted the sexiest woman in soap

A little help please: The 24-year-old is helped back onto the catamaran after going snorkeling in the tropical water


Like a gentleman, he carried her bag.

Bizarrely, Michelle was then seen donning a pair of long denim overalls, before the heat eventually got to her and she peeled off her clothes to reveal a cute swimsuit.

The two-piece featured a black and white striped halterneck top and black bottoms.
The couple lazed on the yacht, taking in the stunning views.


What a waist: The actress showed off her taut stomach during the sail with the rest of The Wanted and some of their girlfriends

Michelle, who plays Tina in Corrie, exposed her flat stomach, and long bronzed legs, while Max revealed his buff chest, wearing just a pair of red swimming trunks.

She looked relaxed with a makeup-free face and had her brunette locks tied up in a loose bun.

The couple were joined by Tom Parker and his girlfriend Kelsey Harwick, and Siva Kaneswaran and his girlfriend Nareesha.

The look of love: Max can't take his eyes off Michelle on the beach as they head towards the boat


Their fellow bandmates Jay McGuiness and Nathan Sykes were also there but had not brought along any lady friends.

Before The Wanted took to the stage the night before, the jokey five said they wanted to party with Barbados native Rihanna.

'She is a messy character so hopefully we will get her involved in our parties,' Max told The Sun.


All aboard! Michelle gets ready to climb onboard a boat in her floral dress, but the 24-year-old actress made sure she was prepared to go for a dip by donning a bikini underneath


Lovely legs: Max George can't keep his eyes off his leggy fiance


Happy couple: The Wanted's Max George and Michelle Keegan spent their first Christmas together this year


Jay McGuiness said: 'What I predict is that we turn up at a club she is in and try to pester her, say we are The Wanted then are swiftly escorted away from her table by 20 guards.'

In preparation for their exclusive concert The Wanted have been keeping a hectic schedule of sunbathing, sailing and tweeting.

Jay McGuiness shared a hilarious picture of Siva Kaneswaran with oodles of sunscreen on his face.


Find your sea legs! Michelle Keegan gets ready to hit the sea as Siva Kaneswaran's girlfriend Nareesha watches her walk the gangplank

What for me! Max climbs aboard after seeing Michelle get on the boat safely


He wrote: 'So @SivaTheWanted has his WAR-PAINT on!! ("War-paint" is a small reference to our current song, "Warzone")'

And Siva posted a photo of him rubbing what looked like Aloe Vera cream on his band mate's chest.

Simon Cowell and his ex Sinitta are staying at the resort and other celebrities spotted in Barbados include Myleene Klass, former wag Lizzie Cundy, TopShop heiress Chloe Green, TV presenter Emma Forbes and singer Andrea Corr.


Aren't you hot? Bizarrely, Michelle changed into a pair over long overalls on the boat, before the heat got the better of her

Obama Being Accused Of Using Attorney General Eric Holder To Rig The 2012 Presidential Election (Video)

A newly released video online is accusing President Barack Obama, of using disgraced Attorney General, Eric Holder, to rig the vote for the 2012 presidential election. Holder is pushing for a loosening of restrictions, regarding voter ID laws in America, chipping away at legislation state by state.

Eric Holder and Barack Obama

People opposed to Obama and Holder's maneuvers in this regard state, the relaxing of the law would mean anyone could vote and repeatedly for a candidate in the election, as they would no longer need to show polling station employees a valid U.S. state ID card for verification.
