Dating: Kelly Brook with boyfriend Thom Evans after she lost the baby

Kelly Brook has spoken for the first time about her tragic miscarriage, describing it as ‘the hardest, most terrible time in my life’.

The model, 31, lost the baby girl she was expecting with rugby player Thom Evans in May when she was five months pregnant.

Kelly says she has spent most of the past few months holed up in her Kent home dealing with overwhelming moments of sadness, guilt and loss.


Healing: Kelly and Thom have recently been out on dates to Take That and Wimbledon (pictured)


But with her characteristic optimism, the star believes the experience has brought her closer to Thom and allowed her to focus on her career.

She says: ‘The whole thing has been a huge journey. There are so many complex stages of bereavement that I’m still going through.

She enjoyed long relationships with actors Jason Statham and Billy Zane, then England rugby ace Danny Cipriani before dating Thom, 26.

The couple met last December in a nightclub – ‘of course’, she laughs – and Kelly fell pregnant very quickly.

She says: ‘We were very grown up about it, and I felt lucky to have met someone who I trusted and who was kind, generous and responsible.

At the time, we just approached the pregnancy in the best way we could. As two people who didn’t know each other very well at all!’

Pregnancy suited her, and she and Scottish international Thom were photographed happily strolling in the sunshine together, her burgeoning bump on display.

But sadly she was rushed to hospital at the beginning of May and later lost her child.

Kelly says: ‘The whole thing has been a complete drama because having children wasn’t even on my radar.

Thom has only known me pregnant – all hormonal and blotchy – but he was always there for me.

Dirty dancing: Rihanna straddled an older man last night while performing in her home country of Barbados as part of her Loud concert tour

Is there nothing Rihanna will not do on stage?

The 23-year-old singer yet again pushed the boundaries of her stage performance by pulling an older man on stage and jumped on top of him to give him a raunchy lap dance.
Looking a mixture of petrified and bewildered, the greying gentleman lay on the ground and looked up at Rihanna as she straddled and writhed on top of him.


The Only Girl in the World: The Umbrella star put on a revealing show once again


Rihanna was in her home country of Barbados for the latest leg of her Loud tour.

Wearing black hot pants, a bra top and ankle boots, the Umbrella singer was seemingly intent on giving the man the time of his life with her dirty dancing.

The man, who appeared to be at least three times Rihanna's age, looked like he was coming perilously close to suffering a coronary from all the excitement.


Home coming: Rihanna was also in Barbados for Monday's Kadooment Day carnival


In the audience watching would have been her friends and family that live on the Caribbean island but Rihanna did not appear to care and carried out her usual set of suggestive dancing and explicit moves.

Rihanna also showed off her body in a daring white string bikini while enjoying time at the beach earlier this week.

Spellbound: Emma Watson and co-star Johnny Simmons sharing a tender kiss in Los Angeles

She has complained that men find her intimidating.

But now it seems Emma Watson has bewitched her latest co-star after they were spotted embracing in Los Angeles.

Emma, 21, looked ‘besotted’ as she tenderly kissed Johnny Simmons, 24, who stars with her in the upcoming £30 million drama The Perks Of Being A Wallflower.


Embrace: The couple show their true feeling for each other after being spotted on the street in Los Angeles

The couple have been spotted together before, but previously it was denied they were in a relationship.

Yet there could be no doubt that they are deeply involved as the Harry Potter star, in a multi-coloured maxi skirt, white sweater and sandals, and Johnny were locked together in a lingering clinch outside a restaurant in Santa Monica.


The couple, who are starring together in the film The Perks Of Being A Wallflower, share a hug and gaze lovingly into each others' eyes


Emma has fought hard to shake off her prim schoolgirl image after playing Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films.

And her new American boyfriend should suit her purposes well – he has a slightly risque past and even had the odd run-in with the police. His film career includes playing a drug addict and sexually explicit scenes.

An onlooker told The Mail on Sunday: ‘They were all over each other, kissing and hugging. It was very sweet to see. She looked utterly besotted. A girl recognised her and approached her.

Emma was polite and acknowledged her, but she just wanted to be with Johnny and was clearly under his spell. They’re obviously head-over-heels in love.’

Johnny has spent the night with Emma at the upmarket house in Santa Monica where she has been staying with friends.

A source said: ‘The moment Johnny turned up Emma was all over him. He stayed overnight at least one night this week. It is clearly a serious relationship.

Going hell for leather: The first official photo of Anne Hathaway as Catwoman in The Dark Knight Rises has now been released

Batman bosses have kept fans guessing with how Anne Hathaway is going to portray Catwoman in upcoming movie The Dark Knight Rises.

And now, with the first official photo of the actress in character, it seems Catwoman is going to be tougher than ever in the sequel.

While Hathaway's outfit can't really be seen, it appears the 28-year-old actress is wearing a black leather catsuit, with a zip up the front, teamed with a pair of black goggles and lashings of red lipstick.


Don't mess with her: Anne looks like a lean mean machine as she rides a futuristic motorbike


The shot shows Catwoman on a motorbike, which looks very similar to the one owned by Batman in the last film, The Dark Knight Rises.

Very little information has been revealed about the storyline of the new film, in which Hathaway stars as Selina Kyle, also known as Catwoman.

However, a source recently told Hollywoodlife.com of Anne's Catwoman costume: 'Anne's outfit is more tactical, like the comic book, than the previous Batman movies.


Heads down: Bodies fall to the floor as Anne whizzes around on her extraordinary vehicle


Previous incarnations: Halle Berry as Catwoman in the 2004 film and Michelle Pfeiffer in the role in 1992 movie Batman Returns


'She will definitely be wearing the goggles, and it's going to be less sexy than Halle Berry and Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman costumes. She's going to look more like a robber.'

Hathaway was yesterday spotted on the set of the new film, showing off her legs in a pair of tiny black shorts.

Anne, who was wearing heavy make-up, chatted with a member of the production staff while she stretched her legs during a spot of down time.


Clawfully good-looking: Hathaway showed off the wonderful form that landed her the part of Catwoman in The Dark Knight Rises during filming in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania


Caught in the act: Marion Cotillard is snapped as she takes part in a scene for the upcoming film


Prepations: A stuntman was seen on Catwoman's bike on the set earlier in the day


Although the ladies on set provided the glamour, it was the stunt men who generated the excitement.

One was seen shooting down a set of stairs in a exotically-designed motorbike during one of the more thrilling moments of the day.

The Dark Knight Rises also stars Christian Bale, Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine and is set to be released in July 2012.

Clawfully good-looking: Anne Hathaway showed off the wonderful form that landed her the part of Catwoman in The Dark Knight Rises during filming in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

It looks like glamorous Anne Hathaway is definitely the top cat on the set of The Dark Knight Rises.

The actress showed off her perfect legs as she prowled around in a tiny pair of sports shorts between takes.

And the star, who is playing Catwoman in next year's most hotly-tipped blockbuster, definitely did not look like she was overindulging in the cream as she looked in tip-top shape.


Vested interest: Anne showed off the toned body she sculpted for the part in a tight-fitting black top


Anne, who was wearing heavy make-up, she chatted with a member of the production staff while she stretched her legs during a spot of down time.

It looks like the Oscars hostess has been working hard to get in shape for her role as high-kicking thief Selena Kyle in the final part of Christopher Nolan's hit trilogy.


Whisker away: An assistant takes Anne to her next destination during a hectic day of blockbuster movie-making


A source told the Mail: 'Anne is working out five days a week. She's taking it very seriously and wants her body in tip-top condition.

'Secretly she hopes to upstage Halle Berry, who last played Catwoman.

'She's doing dance classes, weight-training and cardio - she wants to be the sexiest Catwoman ever.'


Cot in the act: Marion Cotillard is snapped as she takes part in a scene for the upcoming film


She is playing Miranda Tate in the film, an ally of Bruce Wayne's who works on the board of his company.

Although the ladies on set provided the glamour, it was the stunt men who generated the excitement.

One was seen shooting down a set of stairs in a exotically-designed motorbike during one of the more thrilling moments of the day.

The Dark Knight Rises also stars Christian Bale, Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine and is set to be released in July 2012.

Provocative: These highly-sexualised images of 10-year-old Thylane Lena-Rose Blondeau from the Tom Ford-edited January issue of French Vogue, have caused concern

She reclines among leopard print pillows, her rouged lips pouting at the camera. But shockingly the model in these highly sexualised pictures is only 10 years old.

The provocative images of Thylane Lena-Rose Blondeau, who is tipped as the next big thing on the fashion scene, are causing a storm of controversy with campaigners furious that a child so young should be displaying the sexual allure of someone twice her age.


Suggestive: Images such as these have paved the way for a recent Government initiative in the UK to enforce restrictions on the sexualisation of children in the media and sexual content in advertising


Thylane has appeared in numerous campaigns and her image is all over the internet.

To date she has an impressive portfolio - the French girl has graced the cover of Vogue Enfants and posed for high-end editorials.

Born in the Ivory Coast, she has already been compared to Sixties siren Brigitte Bardot - who at the age of 15 appeared in ELLE.

But these latest images, complete with heavy make-up and stiletto heels, which appear in French magazine Cadeaux, have brought the issue to a head.


Premature sexualisation: Experts have warned about the psychological implications of such young children being involved in the modelling industry


They come in the wake of a recent Government initiative in the UK to enforce restrictions on the sexualisation of children in the media and sexual content in advertising.

Reg Bailey, Chief Executive of the Mothers' Union, was commissioned to conduct the independent review on the pressures faced by children today.



Lost society: In the Bailey review a survey revealed that 88 per cent of parents agreed that children are under pressure grow up too quickly, with 58 per cent accounting this to celebrity culture


A spokesperson for the Mothers' Union told MailOnline: 'We have grave concerns about the modelling agency who represent Blondeau, which clearly does not know if it represents a child or an adult.

'Photo shoots requiring her, a 10-year-old-girl, to dress in full make-up, teetering heels and a dress with a cleavage cut to the waist across her pre-pubescent body deny Blondeau the right to be the child she is.

'These images would, we hope, post Bailey Review, not pass through the standards of magazines, on street advertising and other media within the UK.'

In the review a survey revealed that 88 per cent of parents agreed that children are under pressure grow up too quickly, with 58 per cent accounting this to celebrity culture.

Smash: Rowan Atkinson's £650,000 McLaren F1 spun several times, smashed into a tree and ploughed into a road sign before catching fire on the opposite side of the carriageway

Actor Rowan Atkinson cheated death last night after careering off the road in his 240mph supercar.

The £650,000 McLaren F1 spun several times, smashing into a tree and ploughing into a road sign before catching fire on the opposite side of the carriageway.

The Mr Bean star, 56, pulled himself free from the wreck and was looked after by a passing motorist until emergency services arrived on the A605 at Haddon, near Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, at 7.30pm.


Smash: Actor Rowan Atkinson cheated death after careering off the road in his 240mph McClaren F1 supercar, pictured here in 1998


Firemen tackled the blaze and an ambulance crew took him to nearby Peterborough hospital where he was believed to be recovering last night.

It is not the first time the Blackadder star has crashed the supercar, which can sprint from 0-60mph in just three seconds.

In 1999, a year after buying it following the phenomenal success of his Mr Bean movie, he collided the red vehicle with a Rover Metro in Lancashire.


Accident: The front of the car was wrecked in a previous collision with the rear of a Rover Metro in Lancashire, in October 1999


Recently appearing on BBC's Top Gear 'Star in a Reasonably Priced Car', he listed the vast array of cars he currently owns, before setting the fastest lap.

In 1994, the British car magazine Autocar stated 'it has too much performance for the public road,' but 'will be remembered as one of the great events in the history of the car, and it may possibly be the fastest production road car the world will ever see'.

Mr Atkinson, who has a passion for fast cars has written articles about different vehicles for specialist car magazines.


In style: Rowan Atkinson's character Mr Bean has less of a passion for fast cars


Though his collection of cars changes regularly, he also has a £125,000 Aston Martin Virage, a vintage Rolls-Royce, and an elderly Morris Traveller, which he regularly drives around the Oxfordshire village where he lives in a £1 million former rectory.

He also has a £2.5 million townhouse in Chelsea. Last night an East of England Ambulance Service spokesman confirmed the accident.

He said: 'A man has since been conveyed to hospital with minor injuries after the car he was driving left the road earlier this evening.'

Let's Bieb having you: Bidding has been slow so far for Justin Bieber's old trainers despite the fact they are being sold to benefit the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund

The mere mention of his name is renowned for sending young girls giddy with delight.

So the news teen sensation Justin Bieber is auctioning a pair of his worn Supra trainers for charity should have been enough to kick off a bidding frenzy.

Bieber Fever has failed to take hold however, as just four bids have been made despite the lot being open since July 19.


It's four charity: Just four bids have been made so far for Bieber's sweaty shoes


Charity auction website charitybuzz.com will be hoping there will be a last minute stampede to land the unique item, as the proceeds are being used to benefit the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund.

Bidding for the shoes closes next Wednesday, so there is still plenty of time for fans to get in line.

One crumb of comfort for auction organisers is the fact $900 has already been bid for the sweaty sneakers, which is nothing to be sniffed at.


Supra deal: A fan could have a chance of owning Bieibers old shoes if they bid $1,000 in the auction


However the revelation will add more credence to claims the singer's popularity is finally declining after his near omnipresence over the last few years.

Bieber, who is dating teen favourite Selena Gomez, burst onto the music scene two years ago as a cutesy, clean-cut pop sensation.

But it would seem Justin Bieber is becoming quite the rebel these days.

Earlier this week the 17-year-old star was spotted wearing a T-shirt which literally turned the air blue with an unmissable, unsavoury song lyric printed in huge white writing.

Showing off her skills: Kelly Brook showed off her hula hoop as she took to the grass at the Bulmers cider garden

Earlier this week she was awarded the best bikini body beating Jennifer Lopez and Pippa Middleton to the top spot.

But Kelly Brook proved she has more bows to her string than just good looks and an incredible figure as she hosted the launch of a cider garden earlier today.

The model, 31, got into the summer spirit, despite the wet weather and showed off her hula-hooping skills at the Bulmers Cider Garden at Riverside Walkway in Southbank earlier today.


Getting into the swing: Kelly managed not one but five hula hoops as she took to the grass


Despite the lack of sunshine the model donned a pair of bright red leather shorts and a cute white shirt with peter pan collar which she wore with a pair of black and white gingham peep-toe-heels.

And she didn’t let her shoes get in the way of having good time and was seen taking to the grass with not one, but five brightly coloured hula hoops.


Loosing rhythm: While Kelly managed to keep the hoops up for a few seconds eventually gravity took its toll

Age defying: Jane Fonda discusses her body image, men and getting older in a new interview with this month's Harper's Bazaar magazine

She may be 73, but Jane Fonda is looking - and feeling - as good as a woman a third of her age.

A photograph of the actress and fitness guru in the new issue of Harper's Bazaar magazine shows her looking stunning in a slinky black dress complete with sheer panels with polka dot detail.

The actress tells the publication that she has learned to love herself after a long battle with bulimia and issues with her self image.


Tips: Jane Fonda is promoting her new self help guide Prime Time


She eventually stopped and instead turned to exercise. 'I don't do lunges, though, because I have a fake knee and a fake hip,' says Jane, who is promoting her new new self help book Prime Time.

Despite her incredible figure, which she recently showed off to wide admiration at the Cannes Film Festival, the star reveals she has long battled with her own self image, partly due to her relationship with her father, actor Henry Fonda.


Slinky: The actress wowed onlookers with her clingy white gown on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival back in May


Now the actress is not letting her age get in the way of vanity.

'I’m vain,' she says. 'My arms are thin, but I’m vain about loose flesh. And so I’m careful that what I wear will show off my best parts, which are my waist and my butt.'

But she is conscious of not trying to dress too young for her age.

'I have people in my life who will say, "Honey, you’re trying too hard," she says. 'I like being saucy, but I’m 73 and a half. I’m still trying to find my way between matronly and coltishness.'


Claim to fame: Jane's role as Barbarella in the 1967 film thrust her firmly into the public eye
