Beyoncé seriously embarrassed Blue Ivy Her parents might be two of the coolest people on the planet, but that doesn’t stop Blue Ivy Carter getting embarrassed by Beyoncé and Jay-Z. Blue, six, was in the crowd at their On The Run II show in London and was not impressed when sexy images of her mum flashed across the screen… Hilariously, she was seen covering her eyes and ducking behind the barrier. We feel your pain, Blue… Love Island’s Sophie passed away Love Island fans were shocked last week to learn Sophie Gradon, one of the biggest characters from series two, had been found dead at the age of 32. Sophie’s boyfriend, Aaron Armstrong, revealed the heartbreaking news on Facebook, writing, ‘I will never forget that smile I love you so…

Once, Ayda Field was known simply as the woman who tamed pop playboy Robbie Williams. But with rumours the couple have signed a £10 million deal to be X Factor judges and her name in the running to star on Celebrity Apprentice, here’s all you need to know about the 39-year-old American. Who is she? Ayda was born in LA to a Turkish father and American film-producer mother. She lost contact with her dad at the age of four when her parents split and he returned to Turkey. At 18, she got back in touch but their relationship remained strained until her wedding day, when she called him to make peace. Career highlights Her witty personality landed her a regular guest spot on ITV’s Loose Women. Earlier this year Ayda…

Look away, Jacqueline! WHEN: 17 JUNE WHERE: LAS VEGAS His second baby with wife Jacqueline Jossa is due any day now, but Dan Osborne has taken some time out and headed Stateside to party instead. Dan was enjoying a stag do last week, when he was inundated with a whole lot of female attention. The former TOWIE star looked very cosy with one female as they chatted and hugged poolside, but she wasn’t the only one, as he also enjoyed some time with two other women. Looks like what happens in Vegas, doesn’t always stay there. Justin and Hailey reunite WHEN: 16 JUNE WHERE: BROOKLYN, NEW YORK It looks like there’s One Less Lonely Girl in New York, as Justin Bieber was…

There’s no denying Gemma Collins is one of the standout characters from ITVBe’s The Only Way Is Essex and, since turning into a walking, talking social media meme, the 37-year-old ex-car saleswoman has enjoyed fame on a different level. But it seems The GC (as she refers to herself) has got a bit too big for her Louboutins as she prepares to release her second book The GC: How To Be A Diva. When Now sits down with Gem, it becomes clear it’s the perfect title for her book, as she lays down the law. ‘Has this girl been briefed?’ she asks her agent. Despite the fact that we haven’t been sent a copy of the book (which hasn’t yet been released), Gemma isn’t impressed to learn we haven’t read…

Kourtney Kardashian doesn’t have much of a private life. Since she and her famous sisters, Kim, Khloé, Kendall and Kylie, chose to feature on their own reality TV show, there’s pretty much nothing the family hasn’t shared with the public. Kourtney,39, is photographed almost everywhere she goes. And everything, from her clothes and accessories to her make-up become instant sell-outs. But being so popular can’t be easy. Daisy Gonzalez, 20, should know. She has regularly been mistaken for Kourtney for the past four years… ‘As I jumped out of my car and headed towards the entrance of the supermarket, a group of young girls ran up to me. ‘Oh my God! You’re Kourtney Kardashian!’ they squeaked, holding out their phones and snapping pictures. I couldn’t help but laugh to myself.…

Joey’s weekend prison break  I spent last weekend with Joey as he was out on home leave and has been out a few times in recent months. I’m really enjoying the time we’re spending together – staying in bed together, waking up and going out has been lovely. It’s so nice to have him at our home and seeing all the real world outside of that prison visit room. We go shopping and out for dinner – all the nice, normal things I’ve waited so long for! By the way, we weren’t looking at wedding venues [below] – we were supporting Joey’s brother at his music video filming! I’ve kept it private and not posted before as I’m too busy enjoying myself but also he’s still in prison. That carries…

‘She won’t give in or take pity on herself’ The phrase ‘what a difference a day makes’ springs to mind when we see these latest photos of Katie bouncing back to happiness. It’s been years since we’ve seen her looking this upbeat – and we’re not the only ones to notice the difference. ‘Kate’s been telling friends she needs a fresh start,’ our insider tells us. ‘She refuses to give in or take pity on herself. Instead she’s brushed herself down to start all over again as she believes staying positive is the only way she can go on – despite facing some of her darkest days.’ This smiling Katie is a stark contrast to the emotionally drained mum-of-five, who reportedly turned to wild nights out and PAs to help…

‘Women need to know they are not alone’ In February this year, Kym Marsh marked what would have been her son Archie’s ninth birthday. He was born at 21 weeks and passed away not long after. Since losing Archie in 2009, the Coronation Street actress has been vocal about miscarriage and stillbirth. ‘It’s something you never get over,’ Kym says. ‘And it’s something so many people are going through all the time.’ Kym’s Corrie character, Michelle Connor, also suffered a stillbirth in early 2017. The actress admitted that the difficult storyline took her to ‘dark places’ but hoped the scenes might help other women in the same position to get help. Kym now raises money for the Mariposa Trust, a charity that…

Family means everything to Mark Wright, from supporting wife Michelle Keegan in filming BBC1 drama Our Girl overseas to following his younger brother Josh’s football career. And last week, Mark, who’s spent the past nine months based in Los Angeles as co-host of US TV show Extra , dropped the biggest hint yet he is set to spend more time back in Blighty, staying in his wife’s hometown of Manchester. ‘I love the vibe of the city’ And it’s not only so he can see more of Michelle. Mark, 31, tweeted, ‘The bro moving to Manchester, means il be making many trips to see him play at Bradford. @VelvetMCR looks like il be seeing you a lot. The family loved the hotel last week. Thank you again [sic].’ Mark’s announcement…

1 Date nights with a difference  Who said date nights can only happen at the start of a relationship? Make time to go out together and avoid losing that sense of having fun. ‘It’s important to keep date nights up in order to keep that lust in the air,’ explains life and relationship coach Carole Ann Rice. ‘Spice it up with a little role play – meet your partner at a venue and pretend you’ve only just met. Enjoy being flirted with and chatted-up. Be seduced!’ 2 Small surprises This doesn’t mean spending a fortune. Little and thoughtful are the key words here. Whether it’s picking up that new book they keep banging on about or giving them a massage after a long day – it’ll prove you haven’t become…

Dan Edgar and Amber Turner’s romance has dramatically unfolded before our eyes on TOWIE . And in May, Dan finally plucked up the courage and asked Amber to be his girlfriend. But will things be smooth sailing for the lovebirds? We asked Judi to reveal what these latest loved-up holiday snaps really mean. TRUST ISSUES Sitting with torsos far apart and legs filling the gap suggests trust and intimacy issues. The gap means a couple can face-watch, but it’s the smiles that look fake here. Amber strokes his face, but isn’t leaning forward to create a genuine rapport. CONTROLLING SIGNAL Amber’s left hand suggests a controlling signal. And it’s odd that Dan keeps his shades on. Wouldn’t he whip them off if this were true passion? OVER-PERFORMED LAUGHTER Amber’s laughter…

Baby joy for Eva! Congrats are in order for American actress Eva Longoria, 43, and her husband José Bastón, 50, who welcomed their son, Santiago Enrique, last week. The duo – who have been married for two years – made the announcement in an interview, saying, ‘We are so grateful for this beautiful blessing.’ N’aww. And while the 6lb 13oz tot – who was born at celeb birthing centre Cedars-Sinai on 19 June – is Eva’s first born, the Desperate Housewives star has had lots of practice being a mum as she is stepmum to José’s three children – Mariana, Natalia and José – from his ex-wife Natalia Esperón. Sounds like it’s going to be a full house for the Bastóns! Who’s that girl? Just this…

Ferne McCann  You only need to glance at her Instagram to know one thing Ferne is proud of – other than her adorable daughter Sunday – is her mum bod. The former TOWIE star, 27, who gave birth in November, is in great shape. But, she says, ‘The confidence I have in my body comes from having the utmost respect for it. Growing a human being inside of you is just insane.’ A bit of exercise as ‘a release’ from stress clearly helps too! Katie Piper  Katie was so keen to help other mothers embrace their post-baby bodies she created a plan – the Healthy Happy Mum Plan – to help them get back to looking and feeling their best. Since giving birth to her second child Penelope in December…

YES ‘If you love someone, anything can work!’ Reality TV star Megan McKenna, 25, is in a relationship with former Love Island star Mike Thalassitis, 25. I feel like if you really love someone, a long-distance relationship won’t matter to you. Anything can work if it’s the right person. And just because you’re abroad, it doesn’t mean you can’t communicate with your loved one. For instance, if you were away working for six months and you could only see your other half once in those months, you could FaceTime. There’s lots of options. Obviously it’s not an ideal situation, as you’d much rather spend the time with them properly, but if you love someone, you will make the effort to see them no matter how far…

PRIMED TO PERFECTION A lightly tinted primer is all you need for gorgeous skin. Choose one with light-reflecting pigments to give skin a luminous glow and blur imperfections. And if you feel the need for other make-up, a primer will ensure that it all stays in place with minimal touch-ups. ACE YOUR BASE Foundation isn’t about covering up your complexion, but enhancing it. A good base is one that ‘disappears’ into the skin, hiding flaws as it does so. Swap a heavy foundation for ones with sheer coverage or choose a CC cream – apply it with a brush and soften hard lines with a beauty sponge. FAUX FRECKLES Who didn’t notice the Duchess of Sussex’s pretty freckles on show at The Wedding? If you’re not blessed with natural freckles…

Hi, darlings! I’d like to discus s Katie Price admitting she once used Kier an Hayler’s finger (while he w as asleep) to unlock his phone so she could snoop. There are two issues here. First, you’re always going to find something y ou don’t like when you go through someone’s phone, because people can r ant and say things they don’t neces sarily mean. Second, if you’re at the stage wher e you need to look thr ough your partner’s phone then y ou should break up, because the trust is gone and you’ll nev er get it back. Dear Nadia, I’ve got two boys after me; one is maybe too safe and one’s hurt me before. I always go for the bad boy and I’m scared of making…

Hi Alexandra, you look incredible! What’s your fave way to keep fit? I absolutely love the gym and am very into my fitness, so I tend to work out at least five times a week with HIIT (high intensity interval training) sessions, running, weights, Pilates and yoga. Impressive! And what motivates you to work so hard in the gym? I rely on exercise to keep me strong both physically and mentally, and it keeps my energy levels up during periods where my schedule is hectic! Do you have a body part that you struggle to keep in shape? I’ve always been conscious of my arms, but I’ve spent time working on them and am now a lot more comfortable. I think every girl has insecurities about their body. Tell us…
