Katy Perry Performs With Rolling Stones – the 28-year old was a surprise guest when she appeared on stage this weekend with the legendary rockers.

It was a return to the past for the group as Katy performed a version of their song Beast Of Burden. Back in 1983 they performed a version of the same song with Bette Midler that was released as a single and made it into the charts.

The band had announced their special guest a few hours earlier via Twitter. Katy was certainly dressed up for the occasion as she took to the stage dressed in a little leather bustier matched with thigh high leather boots and a short skirt.

The unlikely duet took place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas during the Stones latest gig on their 50 and Counting tour.

Despite the fact that Mick Jagger will be 70-years old in a couple of months time Katy seemed quite excited about getting up close and personal with the rock singer on stage. In fact she took to her Twitter page to share with her almost 40m followers “Yes, I just did gyrated on Mick Jagger. WHAT?! #Stones50“

Obviously Katy got so excited that she forgot how to string a few words together so her next tweet had her apologising to her mother for her terrible grammar.

Her next tweet had her sharing this photo of her and Mick Jagger singing together on stage. It seems like the I Kissed A Girl singer is a bit of a Stones fan doesn’t it!

It is not just her looks that get Katy plenty of exposure and she has already taken Mens Health Sexiest Woman of 2013 title.

Red Carpet Photos As Great Gatsby Opens Cannes Film Festival – there were plenty of movie stars and models on view as The Great Gatsby opened this year’s Cannes Film Festival.

The Baz Luhrman directed movie has received some mixed reviews so far. Unusually for the opening movie of the festival it has already been released in the US. Luhrmann brushed off the early poor reviews of his adaptation of F, Scott Fitzgerald’s novel by saying that the critics had “horrendously criticised” the book when it was first reviewed in 1925.

As well as viewing the new Gatsby movie the invited gala audience also got to see a special performance by singer Lana Del Rey. The whole event was overseen by French actress Audrey Tatou who was given the title mistress of ceremonies for the evening. Tatou wore a summery daisy print dress from Red Valentino for her first showing at the festival.

All of the Great Gatsby main cast were there on the red carpet for the opening night of the festival with the movies 2 main stars Leonardo Di Caprio and Carey Mulligan leading the way.

Apart form the many movie stars seen making their way down the Cannes red carpet there were plenty of representatives from the world of fashion. Most notably 47-year old supermodel Cindy Crawford was there looking stunning in a cleavage baring Roberto Cavali white and gold gown. Other models on view included Cara Delavingne, who wore a sexy black see through Burberry gown, and Georgia May Jagger who wore an eye-catching bright red gown.

Another person who caused something of a stir on the Cannes red carpet was Beyonce’s sister Solange Knowles who wore a see-through beige gown with a nude leotard underneath. On such a cold Cannes evening it soon became pretty clear that she was not wearing a bra with her outfit.

The Cannes Film Festival is on for another 12 days and other movies to show include Only Lovers Left Alive, the new vampire movie from Jim Jarmusch, and Steven Soderbergh’s new biopic of over the top pianist and entertainer Liberace, starring Michael Douglas and Matt Damon.

Billboard Music Awards Winners and Red Carpet Fashions – the big winner this year at the Billboard Music Awards was Taylor Swift who picked up an impressive 8 awards last night.

At last night’s ceremony at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas the 23-year old singer looked very pleased with herself as she was easily the awards most successful artist, picking up a total of 8 separate awards including Best Female Artist, Top Billboard 200 Album (Red) and the night’s top award of Best Artist.

The awards had a new category this year as Billboard introduced the new classification of EDM or Electronic Dance Music with David Guetta winning the first ever award for Top EDM Artist and Skrillex taking the TOp EDM Album award for Bangarang.

Apart from Taylor Swift other multi-award  winning artists included Nicki Minaj who won 3 awards including Top Rap Artist and Top Streaming Artist. Minaj celebrated her award by giving a lapdance to Lil Wayne while wearing a black crop top and a pair of very tight black leggings.

Canadian singer Carly Rae Jepsen also had a great night taking home the awards for Top Digital Song and Top Pop Song for “Call Me Maybe” as well as sharing the award for Top Digital Songs Artist with Taylor Swift.

The fashions worn on the night were of very variable quality with Madonna wearing a very strange looking black stockings and garter outfit and 47-year old Shania Twain rolling back the years in a very stylish silver Grecian goddess gown.

Another woman who hit all the right notes at the Billboard Awards this year was Jennifer Lopez whose Zuhair Murad gown was one of the fashion hits of the night.

Here are the winners of the main categories at this year’s Billboard Music Awards with a sample of the evening’s fashion hits and misses following

Mariah Carey Wardrobe Malfunction On Good Morning America – the 43-year old singer gave early morning viewers a bit of a shock today as she suffered a wardrobe malfunction on live television.

The singer was appearing on Good Morning America as part of the show’s summer concert series when things went a little awry. Mariah is famous for her revealing stage outfits and the busty mother of two found today that her dress was just not up to the job of containing those famous curves.

Mariah was talking to GMA host Lara Spencer when her nude sequined outfit bust at the rear and she was heard to say on live tv ” it popped darling.”

At this stage Mariah had to hold the dress close to her to avoid flashing on live television and grabbed both of her breasts while she waited for the wardrobe department to come and make an emergency repair. Lara helped out by covering Mariah’s chest with her interviewer’s clipboard and Mariah’s backstage team came on to make repairs to the dress zipper.

It was clear what Mariah’s worry was as she said to Lara “I’ll just hold them up the whole time” as she grabbed both breasts. Although she is normally very happy to show plenty of that famous cleavage Mariah was obviously not keen to cause a national outcry by exposing both of her boobs on morning tv!

Things started out so well for her early morning appearance as she looked great in the mermaid style nude and gold Versace sequined outfit but she may well think twice before agreeing to any more shows on that time in the morning.

The GMA morning concert was being relayed live from New York’s Central Park and Mariah performed her new single #Beautiful as well as Always Be My Baby.

To add further to the drama later on in her short set Mariah was heard muttering a four letter word as she made her way up a small flight of stairs. realising that she had been caught out again on live tv she quickly responded by saying “You didn’t hear that.”

After recent criticism from some who said that she was not performing live on American Idol but had been lip-synching Mariah can take some small measure of comfort from knowing that nobody will be accusing her of not  performing her songs live when they see this particular performance.

Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth Break Up – it looks like after weeks of rumours about the state of their relationship Miley Cyrus has broken up with fiancé Liam Hemsworth.

US Weekly is reporting that Miley has said to a friend that the pair are “done”.

The same magazine is also reporting from another source that Miley and Liam have “strange sleeping arrangements” a reference to the fact that they are believed to be sleeping in separate bedrooms.

20-year old Miley and 23-year old Liam have been in a relationship since meeting on the set of their 2009 movie  The Last Song. Things hotted up last year when Liam and Miley got engaged in June.

Things might not be quite so cut and dry however as since the article has appeared in US Weekly Miley has taken to Twitter to post a photo of herself in what seems to be a wedding dress. This may still be a bit of a red herring though as the photo was taken on the same day that Miley shot her new video so there has been speculation that the dress could have been used in the video shoot.

The news follows on from many rumours of problems with the pair’s relationship as Miley has been said to be jealous of Liam’s relationship with Mad Men actress January Jones. January gave birth to a son, Xander, in 2011 and has always refused to name the father.

It is partly Miley’s jealousy over this relationship that is believed to have influenced Liam’s brother’s feelings about her. Liam’s brother Chris is said to have said that he felt the relationship was unhealthy because of Miley’s reaction to Liam’s contact with other women.

The biggest clue that things looked to be going wrong was given in April this year when it was announced that the pair’s June wedding had been postponed. Various reasons were given including one that Miley was keen to concentrate on her new album but none of the excuses seemed very convincing.

No doubt we will hear officially from both Miley and Liam in the days to come.

Geri Halliwell Almost Falls Out Of Her Dress At Australia’s Got Talent – the former Spice Girl narrowly avoided an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction when she appeared at the auditions for Australia’s Got Talent.

The 40-year old is taking over the role of judge on the show from her former bandmate Mel B. She was arriving for the show on Sunday when her strapless pink outfit started to make a bid for freedom.

Geri quickly grabbed the bra style sides of her outfit to keep her modesty and looked a little embarrassed by the whole episode.

It is not Geri’s first tv experience of a wardrobe malfunction as back in 1997 when the Spice Girls appeared on stage at the BRIT Awards to accept their award for Best British Single for their song Wannabe, she had one of the music world’s most public wardrobe malfunctions when her right breast popped out of her red sequinned gown on live tv.

It was a time when the Spice Girls were the biggest in thing in UK music and that night Geri also provided what  is probably the most well-known outfit in British music history when she wore the famous Union Jack dress. This was actually just an ordinary dress on which Geri’s sister has sewn a Union Jack tea towel but it caught the media’s and the nation’s imagination. The dress was such an icon that it was later sold to the Hard Rock Cafe in Las Vegas for £41320 in a charity auction.

Apart from raising such an impressive amount for charity that Union Jack dress sale also made it into the Guinness Book of World Records becoming at the time the most expensive piece of clothing sold by a pop star.

Geri’s latest dress problems are even more embarrassing than they might be as she has just been speaking to Australian media about the clothes worn by today’s pop stars saying that she thinks they should be less slutty and maintain more of an innocent look. Oops Geri, spoke too soon we think. She did have the honesty to admit however that she was probably up for some criticism herself as many people would think that she wore her skirts too short.

Geri’s dress problem happened in Melbourne which is one of the many stops for the Australia’s Got Talent judges as they search the country for the next big star. LIke our own Britain’s Got Talent the first stage of the show is a tour of the regions to make sure that the whole country gets a chance to audition for the show. The AGT judges will spend the next month on their search for talent before they move onto the next stage of the show.

Geri’s fellow judges on the show include recently married UK funny lady Dawn French as well as Kyle Sandilands and Tim Omaji. Incidentally Mel B was unable to appear as a judge on the show as her existing network Channel Seven took out an injunction preventing her from taking part in the show which is shown on the rival network Channel Nine.

Miley Cyrus Flashes The Flesh For New Single – the singer has just released this new promo photo to help launch her latest single.

Miley can be seen wearing a very revealing monokini in the style of Borat but with a considerably better body. She is wearing the black monokini that shows off plenty of flesh as well as showing off some of her tattoos.

The former Disney star turned singer is clearly very body confident as the swimwear shows most of her breasts and the bottom section is cut very high up on her hips.

The new single, We Can’t Stop, will get its first public airing on Ryan Seacrest’s breakfast radio show and although she has talked about how important the music is to her Miley is obviously keen to maximise the available publicity with not just this swimwear promo shot but also a series of new photos released via Twitter in the last few hours.

The new set of Twitter photos show Miley from behind looking at an early morning sunrise, wearing a fur coat and cuddling up to a husky puppy as well as a photo of her showing off her abs in a white crop top and leggings whilst standing next to music producer Mike-WILL. Another shot shows the singer wearing the same crop top outfit as she stands astride an exercise bike.

Miley was in the news just a few days ago when reports were circulating that she and Liam Hemsworth had broken up. The pair had already caused some speculation over the state of their relationship when they announced that they had delayed their wedding.

One suggestion for their relationship problems was the fact that Miley is said to be very jealous over Liam’s relationships with other women and in particular that with January Jones. January is the news today herself as photos are circulating showing her topless scenes in her new movie Sweetwater.

Glamour Women of the Year Awards –  tonight saw a host of glamorous stars arriving at Berkley Square Gardens for this year’s Glamour Women of the Year Awards.

The big winner of the evening was singer turned fashion designer Victoria Beckham who turned up for the evening with a much younger man on her arm. As husband David was away in America she arrived on the arm of her 14-year old son Brooklyn who was well turned out for the event in a smart dark suit. Victoria broke with her usual choice for red carpet events and instead of wearing something from her own fashion label wore a black scallop style top and trouser outfit from rival Belgian designer Margiela.

Victoria walked away with the night’s biggest award when Christopher Bailey presented her with the Woman of the Decade award.

Other winners included Rita Ora who won the Best Solo Artist award and Miranda Hart who was presented with her Best Writer award by diminutive comedian Ronnie Corbett, one of her comedy heroes.

The Saturdays picked up the Best Band award and clearly all enjoyed being able to dress up for the evening. The usually ever reliable Mollie King from the band did get some negative comments for her choice of outfit for the evening with some labelling it as a little trashy as the red dress gave the impression of revealing a lot of flesh although on closer inspection you could see that there was a nude coloured layer that protected her modesty. The outfit also featured a strange-looking thin belt that made it look like she was wearing a tape measure.

Another winner who got some poor reviews from the fashion bloggers was The Voice judge Jessie J who won the Editor’s Special Award but won no awards for her choice of evening for the outfit which was a royal blue tunic style trouser suit. This was matched with a pair of very gaudy looking gold coloured earrings.

Cher To Appear Live On The Voice – the multi-award winning artist is to make her first live tv appearance for more than 10 years.

The 67-year old has been confirmed to appear on the season finale of NBC’s The Voice on June 18th. Her last live television performance was on VH1′s Divas Las Vegas show in 2002.

She has been a star for many years being the only person to have a No 1 single on the Billboard charts in each of the last 6 decades.

As well as this she is also the only person to have won all of the following: an Academy Award (Moonstruck 1988), a Grammy Award (Believe 1999), An Emmy Award (Cher – The Farewell Tour 2003), a Golden Globe Award (You Haven’t Seen The Last Of Me from Burlesque 2010), and the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival (Mask 1985).

Cher will be performing the song Woman’s World on the show, a track from her new album of the same name, which is due to be released this September. The Woman’s World album is Cher’s first new album release since her 2001 album Living Proof.

Living Proof featured several tracks that made use of the Auto Tune vocal software which was first heard on her 1998 hit single Believe. This new recording technique became known as the “Cher effect” and was later used by many other recording artists such as T-Pain, Lil Wayne, Snoop Dog and Kanye West. There have also been plenty of people speaking out against the use of Auto Tune including Christina Aguilera and Jay-Z.

The X Factor had to stop using Auto Tune for its competitors in 2010 after it was revealed that several performances had been “enhanced” by using the software. After enraged viewers took to Twitter to air their concerns Simon Cowell ordered that the software not be used for any future episodes of the show. It was also discovered that the Auto Tune software had been used on Cowell’s other show Britain’s Got Talent, and may have even been used on the famous first audition by Susan Boyle.

Apart from her music Cher is also famous for her penchant for plastic surgery. Although she has admitted to having had work done on her nose, teeth and breasts there are many rumours that she has also had surgery on  her cheeks and buttocks as well as having a rib removed. Cher’s comment on the topic of plastic surgery is “If I want to put my tits on my back, it’s nobody’s business but my own.”

Incidentally if anyone thought that Cher’s private life was complicated then it looks quite pedestrian when compared to her mother’s. Cher’s mother Jackie has been married 8 times (marrying 2 of her husbands twice) and her own mother was just 13-years old when she gave birth to her in 1926.

Leah McFall

Voice Finalists Leah McFall, Mike Ward, Andrea Begley, Matt Henry – tonight saw the live semi-final of The Voice and there were some close calls to make from the 4 judges teams.

Most people would rate Will.i.am’s team as possibly the strongest of the four this year and things weren’t made easy for the voting public as Leah had a less strong performance than last week and Cleo Higgins had what was easily her best week of the whole series.

Having said that it was the right decision to put Leah through to next week’s final after her performances over the last few weeks. There are many people who believe that she is a real find for the show and her highly individual performances of Minnie Ripperton’s Lovin’ You and Gloria Gaynor’s I Will Survive, show a real talent for making difficult and iconic songs her own.

Mike Ward

The Minnie Ripperton song has notes in it that only dogs can hear and the Gloria Gaynor song has become a karaoke classic but both sounded fresh and new in Leah’s hands. Last week’s iTunes release of I Will Survive got to Number 3 in the charts and quickly became The Voice’s biggest hit easily outshining last year’s winner Leanne Mitchell’s earlier release of Run To You, which only made it to Number 45. Prior to Leah’s release the highest position any act from The Voice had reached was Tyler James’ Single Tear which got to Number 28 last year.

The other singer who seems destined for big things this year is country singer Mike Ward. He manages to combine an authentic sounding American country voice with good looks and modesty and even if things don’t work out here we think he could make a great career for himself in the US. Although he beat Joseph Apostol in the public vote there is still a small audience for country music in the UK.

The 2 hour live final of The Voice can be seen on BBC1 next Saturday starting at 7.15 pm.

Check out that brilliant version of I Will Survive by Leah Mcfall from last week’s show below

Are Selena Gomez and Ed Sheeran An Item? – it is being reported today that Selena Gomez has moved on after her break-up with Justin Bieber.

Us Weekly is reporting that Gomez and Sheeran were introduced by mutual friend Taylor Swift a few weeks ago at the end of May. The Us Magazine source reported that Gomez and Sheeran were “hooking up.”

It was originally thought that Sheeran had found another songwriting buddy after he was spotted last week  leaving Gomez’s home carrying some guitars. It now looks as though it wasn’t just music on his mind.

Sheeran has made no secret of his attraction to the sexy brunette and was quotes as saying that he “wouldn’t mind” being set up with her .

There is plenty of scope for more meetings over the next weeks as Ed Sheeran is currently supporting Taylor Swift on her latest US tour.

According to the magazine’s source one of the reasons that Gomez is attracted to the 22-year old singer songwriter is the fact that he is much more mature than her previous boyfriend. He is also described as being a much “deeper” person. One comment made to the magazine was that Gomez was sick of having to act like she was looking after a child.

Certainly we can’t imagine Sheeran behaving in the same way that Justin Bieber did on his recent UK tour. Sheeran is known for being a quietly spoken and utterly professional musician whose main drive is always the music. This seems like a big draw for former Disney child star Gomez who may well be hoping that this relationship can be played out in private rather than in the public eye like her last relationship was.

The Voice Final Provides Shock Result and More Holly Cleavage – tonight’s live final of BBC’s The Voice produced a very unexpected winner as Holly Willoughby outdid herself on cleavage front.

It was predicted almost everywhere before the final that there would only be one winner as the odds were slashed on Leah McFall to an incredible 2/7. It was starting to look like the other finalists would only be turning up to make up the numbers especially after Leah’s impressive download sales of her I Will Survive cover.

Well tonight certainly didn’t turn out according to the script (no pun intended Danny!). It seems that the nation got firmly behind Northern Ireland’s quietly spoken, partially blind singer Andrea Begley who beat both Leah and country singer Mike Ward in the final vote after Matt Henry had been voted off earlier in the evening.

Andrea certainly sang very well during the final but there is some doubt whether her voice is distinctive enough to make much of an impact on the charts. Leah on the other hand has already proved herself a hit with the public and is apparently heading for the recording studio tomorrow despite not winning tonight’s competition.

Her mentor Will.i.am looked less than impressed tonight and after the result was revealed he did not appear in any more shots fuelling speculation that he was making an early exit from proceedings. Some were trying to place part of the blame for Leah’s failure with him as he paired up with the singer for a very strange rendition of Cher and Nancy Sinatra’s Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down). The song featured far too much of Will.i.am’s fairly average vocal talents and did little to showcase Leah’s incredible vocal range.

Whatever the reasons for Leah failing to lift the night’s big vocal prize the Twitter community took the result rather badly with the Twitterati almost causing a broadband meltdown with their thoughts on the voting.

The other big Voice trending topic or should that be big points trending on Twitter was the famous Holly Willoughby cleavage. There seems to have been much talk about how the show’s ratings always increase the more Willoughbooby that is on show so tonight’s final should have seen some impressive viewing figures.

Holly’s dress was her most revealing yet and it was no surprise that shortly after she appeared with “the twins” on show the hashtag “PerkyBoobs was soon trending on Twitter.

Holly is on record as saying that she is quite relaxed with the public and press focus on her world-beating cleavage and has said in interview “it’s fine, they’re only boobs.” Yes Holly but as Keith Lemon would say only boobs maybe but they are great boobs nonetheless.

We wait to see what will happen to Andrea and Leah over the coming weeks and we expect to hear much from Will.i.am about tonight’s final. Let’s hope whatever happens that both girls end up selling more records than last  year’s winner Leanne Mitchell whose debut album failed to sell even 1k copies and only made it to 134 in the album charts when it was released.

Are Katy Perry and John Mayer Back Together? – the 28-year old singer has been talking to Vogue about her past relationships and especially her feelings for rocker John Mayer.

Talking to Vogue Katy says: ’I was madly in love with him. I still am madly in love with him. All I can say about that relationship is that he’s got a beautiful mind.”

Katy says to the magazine that she and Mayer are over and that the relationship finished in March. This doesn’t seem to be the whole story however as she and Mayer have been spotted together in New York this weekend.

Despite arriving at different times in different cars the pair were still spotted by eager photographers and it is starting to look like Katy may have spoken a little prematurely about the end of their romance.

As well as talking about her relationship with Mayer Katy also talks about her high-profile, if speedy, marriage to comedian Russell Brand. She says that she has not heard a word from him since his text message to her 2 years ago when he asked her for a divorce.

As well as revealing that the bombshell text was sent to her on New Year’s Eve, Katy also talks a little about why she thinks the marriage didn’t work.

She says that she thinks he couldn’t cope with the demands her hectic tour schedule made on their marriage and her California Dreams tour seems like it was the final straw. She also hints that there may be other reasons behind the split but doesn’t go into any more detail.

The July issue if Vogue also marks Katy’s first cover for the legendary fashion magazine.

Elton John’s White Tie and Tiara Ball 2013 – there was plenty of showbiz glamour on view at this year’s Elton John White Tie and Tiara Ball.

This year marks the 15th consecutive year that the star-studded ball has been held to raise funds for the Elton John Aids Foundation.

The award for the most attractive couple of the evening went to Les Miserables actress Samantha Barks who was at the event with her male model boyfriend 33-year old David Gandy. Gandy is known for his sense of style and can be relied upon to make an effort for a red carpet event. Not for nothing is he referred to as David Gandy Eye Candy!

This time out though it was his 22-year old actress girlfriend who was turning heads with her choice of a cream dress with an extremely plunging front.

Another person who can be relied upon to look good for a big occasion is actress Uma Thurman who looked in great shape in her figure-hugging dark gown.

The Tie and Tiara Ball was held tonight at Woodside, Elton and David Furnish’s home in Old Windsor. Every year the ball has a different theme and this year’s theme is love. Previous years themes have included Surfin’ USA and The Glory of Venice with last year’s ball being themed around 60′s Motown.

The event is always very well attended and as well as a number of big screen stars there are as you would expect plenty of stars from the world of music who Elton gets to come and perform for his guests. In previous years performers at the ball have included Sir Tom Jones, Brian Wilson, Take That and Barry Manilow.

The Elton John Foundation makes a lot of money from the sale of tickets to the event, which cost several thousand pounds each and also benefits from a number of different fundraising events held on the night including some very desirable lots being sold off at a charity auction. In the past items to be auctioned off have included the first ever private photo session with Mario Testino, Princess Di’s favourite photographer.

The Foundation has raised in excess of £50m already and you can guess that tonight’s ball, which is still going on, will have added a significant amount to that figure.

Amongst the many guests tonight are Natalie Imbruglia, Eva Herzigova, Jerry Hall, fashion experts Susannah and Trinny,  and Liz Hurley, who was going to tonight’s ball minus former cricketer Shane Warne but on the arm instead of her friend the fashion designer Patrick Cox.

Mariah Carey’s Fourth of July Special – the singer has been pre-recording a section for the Macy’s Fourth of July Firework Spectacular.

The 43-year old singer was in New York’s Liberty State Park yesterday to lay down some segments for the tv show. It is going to be a bit of a family affair for Mariah this year as the tv special is being hosted by her husband Nick Cannon.

She looked to be fully in Fourth of July mood as she wore a bright red dress with plunge front and cut-away nude side detailing to film some songs for the show.

This year will mark the 37th consecutive year for the Macy’s Fourth of July Fireworks which are on show on the day itself if you can get yourself to the Hudson RIver. You will need to be over by 12th Avenue to get a good view and the best viewing can be had anywhere between 24th and 42nd Streets.

As well as catching up with Mariah the show is also set to include performances from Taylor Swift, Tim McGraw and Selena Gomez. The whole show has been arranged by Usher this year.

As always there will be plenty of fireworks in the New York sky as well as on stage. There are going to be an estimated 40k separate fireworks used during the main portion of the show, all synchronized to a special 25-minute score.

There looks to be plenty of Mariah to see during the Macy’s show as not only was she seen wearing the red dress but she was also spotted in a short sparkly black dress and a country-style gingham check blouse matched with short blue trousers.

For anybody unable to get to the live Fourth of July event you can watch the whole thing being relayed live on NBC from 8pm EST.

Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger Wedding – it seems like the Avril Lavigne Chad Kroeger wedding is this weekend in the South of France but opinion is divided as to whether it took place yesterday or is due to take place tomorrow.

A number of sources are claiming that the wedding took place on the 29th in Cannes bur one of the major pieces of evidence for this appears to be Avril’s manager Mark Heller’s tweet saying “‘I’m in south of France about to see my little Rok star #avril get married I am so happy to be part of this special celebration.”

Despite this being quoted by many others as sufficient evidence that the wedding must have taken place  People is quoting a “source close to Avril Lavigne” as saying that the wedding has not taken place yet.

People and the Daily Mail are saying that in fact the pair will be getting married tomorrow in the South of France. Chad is already on record as saying that he did not expect to be getting married until he met Avril and seems keen to make the whole weekend one to remember. Avril was previously married to Deryck Whibley from Sum 41.

The Nickelback lead singer certainly seems to be the romantic type as he proposed to Avril just 1 month after meeting her and she was very impressed with how it all happened. ’I had been making this scrapbook of my time in the studio. I walk over and he had taken a photo of himself holding the ring box and put the Polaroid in my scrapbook. Because I had stickers everywhere he put in ‘Will you marry me?’ It was really romantic and kind of made sense.’

One other thing that seems to be confusing the wedding onlookers in France is the fact that Avril and Chad threw a big party for all their guests and some reporters believe it to be the after wedding reception and others think it is a pre-wedding party!

Whether the wedding was yesterday or is due to take place tomorrow lets wish the happy couple all the best.

Red Carpet Fashions and Wardrobe Malfunctions at the BET Awards – yesterday saw the annual BET Awards being held at LA’s Nokia Theatre L.A. Live.

As usual what everyone was wearing was at least as big a topic as who was winning the awards this year.

It now seems almost expected that at there will be at least 1 wardrobe malfunction at every major prize-giving event. Add to this some very revealing outfits and you can see that there was a lot of celebrity flesh on show again this year.

Although obviously not a wardrobe malfunction actress Meagan Good’s dress got a lot of second looks. The 31-year old Deception actress raised plenty of eyebrows when she turned up on the red carpet wearing an extremely low-cut and hugely cleavage bearing blue dress which also featured a large slit up to her thigh.

Meagan was clearly not wearing a bra as her nipples could be seen through the fabric of the dress and many commented whether it was right that she wore the outfit to present the Best Gospel Artist award and also noted the fact that as of last year Meagan is married to a preacher!

Amber Rose was caught unawares by a sudden gust of wind as she arrived at the awards with fiance Wiz Khalifa. The sudden gust caused a minor wardrobe malfunction which revealed the 29-year old’s bare bottom under her bright yellow and black dress.

Singer Nicki Minaj’s outfit managed to steal the headlines from her duet companion Chris Brown. Nicki’s tight silver coloured corset top showed an eye-popping amount of cleavage that ensured all eyes were on her when the pair took to the stage on Sunday night.

One outfit that seemed to meet with universal praise was the stylish black leather spaghetti strap top and pencil skirt combination worn by 27-year old Grammy Award-winning singer Ciara. The singer turned up at the awards together with her boyfriend Future, though many people might not remember that he was even there with her.

Here is a list of some the award-winners from this year’s BET Awards:

Best Female R&B/Pop Artist – Rihanna

Best Male R&B/Pop Artist – Miguel

Best Group – Macklemore & Ryan Lewis

Video of the Year – Drake with Started From The Bottom

Best New Artist – Kendrick Lamar

Best Actress – Kerry Washington

Best Actor – Jamie Foxx

Best Movie – Think Like A Man

Best UK Act – Emeli Sandé

Lifetime Achievement Award – Charlie Wilson

Katherine Jenkins Celebrates Birthday With Style – the classical singer celebrated her 33rd birthday yesterday with family and friends and looked very stylish in a classy outfit.

Although she was actually 33 on 29 June such is the life of a celebrity that she didn’t have a chance to celebrate until yesterday.

It certainly hasn’t been all hard work for the Welsh singer over the last few weeks though as she has been seen at Royal Ascot, Glastonbury and over the last 2 weeks she has been a regular visitor to Wimbledon for the tennis championships.

Jenkins seems to be having a much more relaxing time in the last month or so after a difficult May when she lost her recording contract with Warner Music Entertainment. The talk at the time was the singer had been demanding £1500 a day from her management for styling, hair and make-up whilst she attended promotional events.

An industry insider said at the time that this was not an unusual figure to demand but the problem was that Katherine’s record sales did not back up her demands and it is estimated that her £5.8m record deal with the company may have cost them over £2m.

On a happier note Katherine seems to have found love again after she has started dating former London Wasps rugby player Adam Bidwell. It is her first serious relationship since splitting from long-term boyfriend Gethin Jones in 2012. As well as his rugby connections Bidwell is well-known as a close friend of Prince Harry’s.

Certainly any troubles seemed a long way away on Friday night as she hit the town with a group of friends and her family. The group started off their celebrations with some cocktails on the rooftop bar at Radio in the ME Hotel on The Strand. They then moved on to STK, the exclusive restaurant in the ground floor of the hotel.

Katherine is a girl who loves dressing up for a big occasion so she was sure to look stylish for her own birthday celebrations. She wore a grey and lime coloured illusion dress which she matched with a light coloured pashmina and nude heels and clutch bag.

She will soon be seen on tv as one of the star performers at the Buckingham Palace gala performances to mark the 60th anniversary of the Queen’s coronation. Katherine is a favourite if the Queen and was even invited to a private lunch at Buckingham Palace a few years ago.

Katherine has confirmed that she will be wearing some specially designed outfits from Suzanne Neville for the series of royal gala performances. We may have some interesting outfits to see in that case as Neville was responsible for the daring low-cut gown that Jenkins wore to last year’s Derby.

Beyonce Poses Nude For New Flaunt Magazine – the singer is seen naked in the latest issue of Flaunt but it turns out that the photos are actually 2 years old.

Beyonce is seen nude in several of the photos including the magazine’s cover feature. She has had her body covered in bronze and multi-colour glitter for the shots which are probably her most revealing photos so far.

The sexy photos were taken by Tony Duran in 2011 as part of the promotional work for her Year of 4 album and have been kept secret until now.

As well as the revealing photos Flaunt also carries an interview with Beyonce in which she discusses amongst other things what food and drink she enjoys. She has received some criticism for her relationship with soft drinks manufacturer Pepsi but is happy to stand up for the company and unlike a lot of celebrity endorsements it seems that this is a case where she actually likes the drink.

‘Pepsi is a brand I’ve grown up seeing my heroes collaborate with. The company respects musicians and artistry.’

‘I wouldn’t encourage any person, especially a child, to live life without balance. When you work out, take care of your body, rehearse as hard as I rehearsed in the commercial, I think it’s great to have a Pepsi or Diet Pepsi when you want one. It’s all about choices.’

The singer also talks about some of her charity work in particular her involvement with Chime For Change, which deals with the issue of female empowerment. The charity is currently benefiting from the release of 5 short films that were first seen as part of the special Chime For Change concert at Twickenham last month.

As well as Beyonce the charity also features input from Salma Hayek and Gucci;s Creative Director Frida Giannini.

You can read the full interview as well as seeing more of those naughty photos in Flaunt issue no.128, The Context Issue, which is on sale now.

Rita Ora Performs With Blue Hair And Wearing White Bra Top – the 22-year old wore one of her more eye-catching ensembles today when she appeared at T In The Park.

Rita seems to have a thing for little bra tops at the moment as today’s white bra top follows on from her outfit at  yesterday’s Yahoo Wireless Festival which featured an orange bra top.

Just to add something a little different to today’s outfit Rita was sporting a bright blue dipped hairstyle.

The crowd at today’s performance in Kinross certainly seemed to enjoy the whole show as Rita put on one of her energetic all bouncing round the stage shows for them. Despite the already high temperature Rita was determined to make things even steamier as she showed off plenty of cleavage in her revealing stage outfit.

Rita is known for her sexy stage clothing and just last November has an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction during a concert at London’s Wembley Arena when a zip on her leather jacket moved lower than expected causing a nipslip for the singer.

Following Rita’s Wireless Festival performance this weekend Snoop Dog has been speaking of his admiration for the singer saying: ”I love Rita Ora, she’s a special lady.”

He also said that he thinks the singer is hot ”in a real way.”

Joining Rita for today’s T In The Park were Little Mix, The Killers, Ocean Colour Scene and David Guetta.
