Abbey Clancy Holidays In Dubai With Husband Peter Crouch And Daughter Sophia
Yesterday Abbey Clancy tried (and failed) to tweet a pic of one of her new bikinis so we're very happy to be able to bring you Tuesday's selection.
A super slim Abbey rocked this teeny, purple two piece poolside in Dubai.
The model is currently holidaying at the Le Royal Meriden Hotel in Dubai with footballer hubby Peter Crouch and 14-month-old daughter Sophia.
And it look like little Sophia is already following in her mum's fashionable footsteps - just look at that headscarf!
Abbey recently revealed that her weight has dropped since giving birth to her daughter. She told The Mirror: "I've just been running around after my baby and horse riding.
"I weigh less than I weighed before I had the baby and I'm really happy with my figure. I'm lucky to be blessed with good genes."
Lea Michele Is A Million Miles From 'Glee' Character In Cleavage Bearing Dress
After it was revealed she'd come 14th in Maxim magazine's list of the 100 hottest women, Glee's Lea Michele was keen to show exactly how she'd earned that position as she filmed a TV appearance yesterday.
Lea looked a million miles away from her goody two-shoes Glee character Rachel Berry as she arrived outside The Ed Sullivan Theater in New York wearing this eye-popping number.
The actress looked stunning in a cut-out white dress for her guest spot on The Late Show with David Letterman.
She was on the show to discuss Glee's series finale, which will see Rachel graduate from high school along with fiance Finn Hudson (who just happens to be her real life boyfriend, Cory Monteith) and best mate Kurt Hummel.
There had originally been doubt cast over the future of Lea's character, with rumours she would not appear in the fourth series of the hit show, but now the graduating trio will move to New York in a new storyline.
And we should expect all the other current regular cast members to return to the show too, with creator Ryan Murphy confirming they will all be back for the next outing. Source: HuffPost
Miley Cyrus Forgets Her Skirt On Billboard Music Awards Red Carpet
Miley Cyrus is on a one-woman mission to shake off her teeny bopper star image after forgetting to put on a skirt and a bra for this year's Billboard Music Awards.
The singer and actress vamped it up in a Jean Paul Gaultier jacket, skyscraper heels and tousled hair on the red carpet at last night's bash in LA.
The star has recently come under fire for her super slim body. Her weight is said to have dropped to just over 7 stone as a result of hitting the gym and reportedly only eating 1000 calories a day in a bid to shape up for film roles. Source: HuffPost
Kelly Brook Strips Down For Cannes Phone Booth Photo Shoot
Kelly Brook has decided that the Cannes Film Festival is the perfect excuse to strip off for a sexy new shoot, in a phone booth of all places.
We're not quite sure what she's doing here, or indeed why, but then Kelly's never exactly been one to need an excuse to strip off...
She's been in Cannes to promote Keith Lemon's new film Keith Lemon: The Movie, where she also suffered an indecent proposal during a photocall.
A French millionaire offered the model a cheque for £800,000 to spend the night with her.
According to The Mirror he began screeching, "Just one night! Please, one night! I have money!""
A bodyguard then came to her rescue and ejected the man from the lavish Majestic Barriere hotel.
Kelly assumed the stunt was organised by notorious prankster Keith, but he insisted he had nothing to do with it.
Elliot Turner Sentenced To 16 Years For Murder Of Aspiring Model Emily Longley
Violent killer Elliot Turner was told he can "put away thoughts of champagne, Bentleys and girls" by the judge as she sentenced him to 16 years behind bars for killing aspiring model Emily Longley.
Wealthy jeweller's son Elliot Turner, 20, was found guilty by a jury at Winchester Crown Court on Tuesday of murdering 17-year-old Emily Longley in a jealous rage.
Turner had called Longley, a "whore" and strangled her after becoming incensed by Facebook pictures of her with ex-boyfriends and other men.
Sentencing him on Tuesday, Mrs Justice Dobbs said:
"You told your parents you loved Emily - you really do not know the meaning of love.
"Loving someone is not telling them they are a whore, it is not trying to control them, it is not threatening them, it is not slagging them off to your friends.
"You did not love her, she was just a trophy.
Emily, whom Justice Dobbs described as a "lovely, fun-loving girl" had come over from New Zealand to study at college just eight months before her murder.
She had suffered from abusive relationships back home in New Zealand and had emotional problems and was vulnerable, the court heard.
The wealthy jeweller's son was a well-known playboy on the Bournemouth and Poole party scene. Called "All-Talk Turner" by his friends, he was part of a gang of rich young men in the area. The group called themselves The Firm, a reference to the brutal Kray twins, gangsters which terrorised London's West End.
Justice Dobbs described Turner as possessing a "breathtaking" arrogance, she said that Turner's lack of remorse was "galling."
In particular she referred to an interview that Turner had given to the New Zealand Herald.
During the interview, Turner bragged about the number of women he'd slept with, drugs he'd taken and said that Emily had fallen pregnant with his baby, claims that Emily's father rubbished.
Turner said he acted in self-defence when Emily attacked him and he grabbed her by the throat for five or six seconds and he then woke up to find her dead in his bed in Bournemouth, Dorset, in May last year.
His parents, Leigh, 54, and Anita, 51, also face jail sentences after being found guilty of helping to cover up the crime by destroying a confession letter from their son and taking away vital evidence after the killing at their home.
They will be sentenced later after being convicted of perverting the course of justice after the five-week trial. Turner had admitted the same charge.
Emily's father, Mark Longley, called Turner "evil" and said he hoped he would suffer every day in prison for killing Emily.
Turner had a history of obsession with women and soon showed signs of jealousy towards Emily after they met in December 2010.
Speaking outside court, Mr Longley said he was satisfied with the outcome.
"We are pleased he is not on the streets now. He's an incredibly dangerous person and we are relieved he cannot do this again."
He said the family could now move on and grieve for Emily. Source: The Huffington Post
Mother-Of-Five Catherine Furey Dies After Attempted Vinegar Abortion
A pregnant mother of five died after drinking vinegar during a botched home abortion.
Catherine Furey, 38, from Salford, Greater Manchester, suffered a fatal reaction to the industrial-strength liquid. She was rushed to hospital but later died.
Police arrested her sister-in-law and best friend Dawn Chadwick who handed her the vinegar bottle. The MEN reports Mrs Furey's husband is still too upset to talk about the incident. Mrs Chadwick was also later charged with manslaughter for allegedly helping Mrs Furey abort the baby.
But the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) offered no evidence when the case went before Manchester Crown Court and a not guilty verdict was recorded against the defendant.
At the court hearing on May 14, the trial judge, His Honour Justice Henriques, endorsed the CPS decision to offer no evidence.
Mrs Furey's family have said they do not blame Mrs Chadwick, a mother-of-four with learning difficulties, for the death on December 1, 2010.
Mrs Chadwick reportedly took the bottle of vinegar - similar to the type often used in chip shops - out of a cupboard and passed it to Mrs Furey, who is thought to have researched using vinegar for an abortion on the internet.
Mrs Chadwick, from Monsall, Manchester, was arrested in July 2011 and charged with unlawfully supplying a poisonous or noxious substance with the intent to cause the miscarriage of a woman.
In January prosecutors raised the charge to manslaughter, but after a CPS review it was decided Mrs Chadwick should not face court action.
Kevin Rogers, branch crown prosecutor for the CPS, said: "This was a tragic case, the consequences of which sadly led to the death of Catherine Furey.
"A senior crown prosecutor considered all of the available evidence at the time in accordance with the code for crown prosecutors. The key and significant evidence was alleged admissions made by Dawn Chadwick to the police during her interview.
"A decision was made to charge Dawn Chadwick with manslaughter; this was the correct decision at that time.
"All cases are subject to continuous review resulting in both the defence and prosecution commissioning and receiving reports from expert witnesses in February/March 2012.
"The prosecution instructed Professor Jane Ireland, a leading forensic psychologist and chair of the experts advisory group of the British Psychological Society.
"Following consideration of both reports, the prosecution concluded that the alleged admissions made in interview would not be admissible in criminal proceedings.
"The law in that regard is clear and against us proceeding on the basis of the interview alone, leading us to the conclusion that there is no longer a realistic prospect of conviction.
"The family of the deceased have been made aware of the decision and have expressed understanding of the position."
Solicitor Alex Preston, speaking on behalf of Dawn Chadwick's family, said: "Catherine died in tragic circumstances.
"From the outset, her family made it abundantly clear to both the police and the CPS that they did not blame Dawn for Catherine's death.
"Indeed, Catherine's sister described her prosecution as a 'second tragedy'.
"Dawn was devastated by her friend's death. Dawn has significant learning difficulties and should never have been charged with the initial charge of supplying a noxious substance to cause an abortion.
"Despite this, the CPS actually elevated the charge she faced several months later to manslaughter and it is not until now - a full 18 months after Catherine's death - that her name has been cleared.
"Dawn is extremely relieved that her ordeal is finally over. She and the rest of the family would now like to be left alone to grieve." Source: The Huffington Post
Lauren Odes, Worker 'Sacked For Having Big Breasts And Wearing Tight Clothes', Represented By Gloria Allred
A worker claims she was dismissed because her breasts are too large and she dressed too provocatively for her Orthodox Jewish employers.
Lauren Odes was employed on a temporary contract at New York lingerie warehouse Native Intimates, but was claims she was fired after less than a week for being too attractive.
Odes, who also alleges she was asked to tape down her breasts, is being represented by Gloria Allred, a feminist lawyer with a history of championing women’s rights.
The New York Post quoted Allred: “She was told by supervisors that ‘You’re just too hot for this office. Maybe you should wear your boyfriends’ T-shirts and sweatpants.
“Ms Odes alleged that the supervisor suggested that Lauren try taping her breasts down to make them appear smaller.”
The blonde 29-year-old claims she was fired from her temporary position by telephone after leaving the office to change her tight black dress at the request of her employers.
Odes, who has filed a gender and religious discrimination complaint to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, told a press conference: “We should not be judged by the size of our breasts or the shape of our body”
She added that her attire in a business selling “thongs with hearts placed in the female genital area and boy shorts for women that say ‘hot’ in the buttocks area” was entirely appropriate, Reuters reported.
Her duties included data entry and coordinating the shipping of samples to customers.
Odes added: “I understand there are Orthodox Jewish men who may have their views about how a woman should dress…but I do not feel that any employer has the right to impose their religious beliefs on me.” Source: The Huffington Post
