Cheryl Cole makes a fashion faux pas in unflattering grey tracksuit

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Is that you, Cheryl? Ms Cole made something of a fashion faux pas in a grey tracksuit as she flew back to the UK


She was obviously thinking she'd go for comfort ahead of her long-haul flight back to the UK.

But Cheryl Cole made something of a fashion faux pas in an unflattering grey tracksuit as she left the U.S. and headed back to London.

The 27-year-old singer hid her petite frame in the unattractive zip top and jogging bottoms combination.


Not a good look: Cheryl teamed the tracksuit with a pair of heeled boots


And the only hint of Cheryl's now-renowned sense of style came with the black boots she teamed the outfit with, as well as her designer white handbag.

But Cheryl seemed happy enough with her outfit, keeping her head down but managing a smile for photographers as she made her way through Los Angeles' LAX Airport.


In disguise: Cheryl tried to go incognito in a pair of huge sunglasses


And it's no wonder the singer is smiling, as she has won rave reviews already for her part on X Factor USA.

Cheryl flew out to LA the day after it was announced that she would be joining the judging panel alongside Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul and LA Reid.

And while Cheryl's involvement in the show has already been a success, she met criticism from some viewers when she sat next to Simon on the panel - the seat usually reserved for Paula Abdul.

An insider told MailOnline: 'The fans are angry because Cheryl is sitting next to simon.

'They call Paula and Simon "Saula" and think that Cheryl is splitting them up.'

Emma Watson shows why she was named world's best-dressed woman

By SARAH BULL

Spellbinding: Emma Watson looked stunning in a monochrome dress as she left the Ritz Hotel in Paris


She was named the world's best-dressed woman earlier this month, and it's not hard to see why.

Emma Watson showed exactly why she beat stars including Cheryl Cole and Kate Moss to the top of Glamour magazine's survey as she stepped out in Paris yesterday showing off her enviable figure in a frilly minidress.

The 21-year-old actress looked stunning in the monochrome dress, which she teamed with slicked back hair and a pair of sky-high heels while leaving the Ritz Hotel in Paris.


Fashionista: Emma showed off her enviable figure in the flirty outfit, which she teamed with on-trend slicked back hair


Emma has worked hard to transform herself from innocent young actress into a world-famous fashionista, but her status was secured earlier this year when she won a job with cosmetics house
Lancôme.

In a statement released by Lancôme, Emma said: 'Being a Lancôme ambassadress today is an immense pleasure and a great honour.

'For me, Lancôme is an authentic brand. It reflects elegance, class and style.'


Who's your friend? Emma shared a joke with one of the hotel staff as she headed out for the evening


In February, she was handed the Elle Style Icon award by Vivienne Westwood, who admitted to having no idea who the actress was.

Watson also launched an eco-friendly collection with Italian designer Alberta Ferretti, a line called Pure Threads by Emma Watson.

NeNe: Celebrity Apprentice Was 'Toxic' for Me

http://img2.timeinc.net/people/i/2009/news/091123/nene-leakes-240.jpgNeNe Leakes never had second thoughts about quitting Celebrity Apprentice. It all just got to be too much, she says.

"I don't regret it. I felt very good about it. I always do what my gut tells me to do," the Real Housewives of Atlanta star says in an interview airing Wednesday on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

She adds: "I'm a grown woman, and nobody makes decisions for me. I make my own decisions. It was a toxic situation for me."

Particularly poisonous, of course, was her feud with Star Jones. In an episode two weeks ago, Leakes unloaded on Jones in front of a client, then walked off the show. She doesn't regret that either, but admits it didn't need to get that ugly.

"I needed to get it out," she says. "I wish I could have maybe had a different delivery, maybe better word choices, but I'm OK with it. I felt she deserved it. I know everybody in Hollywood knows I'm telling the truth [about Jones]."

Of course, things evened out this past week, when Donald Trump fired Jones. "When I said on the show yesterday that Star got fired, there were applauses in the audience," says DeGeneres. "People were thrilled that Star got fired."

To which Leakes replies: "Yeah, let's clap about it."

Taylor Armstrong & Hubby Secretly Separate

http://www.usmagazine.com/uploads/assets/articles/41038-real-housewives-taylor-armstrong-hubby-secretly-separate/1305064995_armstrong-290.jpgTaylor Armstrong has finally left her icy husband, Russell.

A source tells the new issue of Us Weekly (on stands now) that the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star has secretly separated from her banker husband of seven years.

"They've had huge marital problems related to finances," the insider says of the pair, who were seen together with daughter Kennedy, 5, at a May 7 Lollipop Theater Network event in Burbank, Calif.

The couple's marital problems are nothing new: Bravo viewers watched them bicker constantly during the show's first season, and Taylor even likened their marriage to a business arrangement.

Still, the recent split is taking a physical toll on Taylor. "She's emaciated -- down 10, 15 pounds," a source tells Us.

The Real Housewives drama doesn't end there. New cast member Brandi Glanville, 38 -- Eddie Cibrian's ex -- and Kyle Richards, 42, have been "going at it" since filming began on season 2. "They got into a fight and Brandi lunged at Kyle," a source says. "They had to be separated by producers."

Bethenny 'Laying Low' After Emotional Season

http://img2.timeinc.net/people/i/2011/news/110523/bethenny-frankel-240.jpgThe season finale of Bethenny Ever After was Monday night – and now Bethenny Frankel says it's time to take it easy.

"I love the show, I'm proud of it," Frankel told PEOPLE at the National Magazine Awards on Monday. "It's been a very emotional, intense season. But we're starting filming in July for season 3, and I need the hiatus."

She recouped with husband Jason Hoppy at the Viceroy Anguilla for two weeks after filming, she said, and since then has been trying to slow down. "I have really checked out of my own life a lot," the reality star, 40, said. "I'm laying low. I really hit the wall going 90 miles an hour."

Frankel celebrated her daughter Bryn Casey's first birthday a day early at Dylan's Candy Bar in New York Saturday with "a big celebration." Then she had a relaxing Mother's Day, which was exactly what she wanted.

Despite rumors that they might be moving to L.A,, Frankel says her family is staying put for now. "It's an ongoing conversation but I have a business opportunity that will keep me in New York, so I don't think that I can move to L.A."

She and Hoppy plan on spending a relaxing summer in New York exploring their neighborhood.

"We've only lived downtown for a year, so we keep finding new pockets," she said. "Jason and I like to walk around, find new restaurants, sit outside, have sangria or SkinnyGirl margaritas. We just like to venture out. New York is such an amazing place so we like to find new little outdoor cafes to hang out."

OC Vicki Tells Brandi Glanville To "Be Careful"

http://www4.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/Vicki+Gunvalson+137th+Kentucky+Derby+Arrivals+EaZXjzLMQ_wl.jpgReal Housewives of Orange County star Vicki Gunvalson has strong words for Brandi Glanville, the ex-wife of LeAnn Rimes’ husband Eddie Cibrian, who is joining the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

“Be careful,” she tells me at the Mint Jubilee Celebration surrounding the Kentucky Derby. “It’s not all glamour. You’re going to shed some real tears. You’re going to see people hurt you that you never thought could hurt you before. I think she’s in for a rude awakening. It’s not all fun at times, but the experiences have been that of a lifetime. I wouldn’t change it for the world. It’s been great.”

Hm, what does he think of her Beverly Hills counterparts?

“I met all the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and they were lovely ladies,” she says. “It’s interesting that they would throw another franchise in the same one-hour distance from us, but we’re very different in regards to lifestyle and money. I mean, I wish I had their money. I don’t. We’re more of the middle-class of California, whereas they’re absolutely the upper class. I think that the viewers like California, they like the lifestyle, they like the color scheme, and both of our shows are being a hit because of that.”

Vicki, who debuted on the show in 2007, confesses that her portion of the reality show is as real as it gets.

“I just know my story’s all true. I don’t know what the other girls are doing. This is a reality TV show, and I feel like a lot of it is being lost in this pre-thinking about what we’re going to film. I don’t do that; my life is my life. When I cry, I cry real tears. When I laugh, I’m woo-hooing. I don’t know what the other women are up to; I stay focused on myself, my career, my family, and I try to do the right thing.”

What misconceptions could she clear up about herself?

“I think people love me or hate me,” she says.  “There’s no middle of the road. I’m lucky today at the Oaks, I had so many people come up and cry and say I’ve given them inspiration as a woman, and taught them good work ethic. They complimented me on being a good mother. If there’s anything negative, I don’t hear it. I try to stay away from the blogs and the bad things. I think the bad would be that I’m insensitive and I’m too hard, but I’m not. I’m compassionate and caring about other people. I give back to our community, and I love my work and my family. If that’s what makes me a bad person, then so be it.”

Loose Women meet loose women...as TOWIE's Billie and Sam Faiers give verdicts on rival show Made In Chelsea

By Jody Thompson


Partners in crime: Sam Faiers and sister Billie were on Loose Women today - and Billie gave her verdict on rival reality show Made In Chelsea


They're two of ITV's most-loved shows - and it was definitely a meeting of minds when Loose Women hosted sisters Sam and Billie Faiers from The Only Way Is Essex today.

The pair were on the show as fans still mourn last week's TOWIE series finale - and Billie gave her verdict on Channel Four's new posh version of the show.

Talking to show hosts Carol McGiffin, Andrea McLean, Cilla Black and Denise Welch, she said of last night's Made In Chelsea: 'The set up is very similar to The Only Way Is Essex, but it's completely different.

'The characters are so posh, their accents and everything! I couldn't stop laughing watching it.'

Meanwhile, her TOWIE co-star Amy Childs was even more dismissive of the show on her Twitter account. She said: 'These people need vajazzles and the ompa lumpa tans ....Turned off o dear. yawn xxxx'

As for being on Loose Women, it was a television show that got the thumbs up from the Faiers sisters.

Billie wrote on her Twitter afterwards: 'Loved being on loose women this morning !! Was great !! So glad they loved their goody bags from @MinniesBoutique!! Xx'

Reality stars: The sisters run their own business Minnie's Boutique as well as appearing on TOWIE


The sisters had given the four presenters goody bags from their new venture Minnie's - and were photographed with them afterwards.

The Faiers sisters also confirmed again that their dream customer at their new clothes shop would be Kate Middletopn, the new Duchess of Cambridge.

Sam said: 'Obviously, we're the complete opposite, we're Essex girls with an Essex boutique, and she's like royalty, but we've got some nice evening wear that she'd like.'

Billie revealed that their shop was now on the hen party trail too.

Goodie bags all round: Sam posted up a pic of herself and her sister giving Denise Welch, Andrea McLean, Carol McGiffin and Cilla Black gifts from their shop Minnie's Boutique


She said: 'In our shop we get loads of like people from up north, Scotland, lots of groups of girls coming down on hen weekends, they're coming in Minnie's then going up Sugar Hut that night.'

However, she mused: 'We have more fans out of Essex than we do in Essex, definitely.'

The second series of TOWIE finished last week with a raucous pool party, several bust-ups and plenty of chances to see Mark Wright’s he-vage.

Sam then immediately flew off to Mallorca for a few days holiday with new boyfriend Joey Essex.

With Sam in a bright pink bikini and Joey in multi-coloured swimming shorts, the pair could barely keep their hands off each other as they relaxed on the beach.

She then tweeted two pictures from the couple's short break, one of a heart in the sand containing both her and Essex's initials, and one of the pair grinning for the camera with their arms around one another.

Essex told his Twitter followers yesterday: 'Landed, wish I was still in spain! Was roasting this morning!!! :('

TOWIE is due back on our screens later this year.

Made In Chelsea meanwhile, which follows west London socialite Caggie Dunlop and her group of friends, is on this Monday at 10pm on E4.
