Tulisa knows how to get the X Factor as she copies Cheryl Cole's fishtail plait for Liverpool auditions

By SARAH BULL

Copycat: Tulisa Contostavlos sported a fishtail plait almost identical to Cheryl Cole's as she arrived at the X Factor auditions in Liverpool today


It must be hard living in the shadow of previous X Factor judge Cheryl Cole.

So Tulisa Contostavlos could be forgiven for using Cheryl for style inspiration as she takes to the panel for this year's sereis.

The 23-year-old singer arrived at the X Factor auditions in Liverpool today sporting a side fishtail plait almost identical to Cheryl's style last October.


Lady in red: Tulisa looked stunning in her red pleated dress, which she teamed with black mesh sandals

And it's not the first time Tulisa has taken inspiration from Cheryl's previous looks, as she was seen wearing a hooded dress similar to the ones favoured by Cheryl as she took to the stage at T4 On The Beach over the weekend.

But despite her copycat hairstyle, Tulisa, who is celebrating her 23rd birthday today, looked stunning in a chic red pleated dress and black mesh heeled sandals as she posed for photographers outside the auditions.

Meanwhile, Tulisa's fellow judge Kelly Rowland also caused a stir as she arrived for the auditions.


Happy birthday! Tulisa, who turns 23 today, was greeted with a huge cheer as she got out of her car


Kelly, 30, showed off her incredible figure in a pair of tiny floral shorts, teamed with a blue vest top and navy jacket, teamed with huge orange platform sandals and a huge pair of sunglasses.

Arriving in the city, Kelly tweeted: 'Alright Liverpool... Bring it on!'
She later added: 'Everyone wish my fellow #XFactor judge @officialtulisa a happy happy birthday!!!'

The girls' fellow X Factor judges Gary Barlow and Louis Walsh also cut a smart appearance as they arrived at Liverpool's Echo Arena for the auditions.


Leggy lady: Kelly Rowland also caused a stir in her outfit - a pair of floral shorts with a blue vest top and platforms


Last night, Tulisa was photographed playing it safe in a black dress and tights as she celebrated her birthday out in Liverpool.

Tulisa teamed her skater-style dress with a pair of huge sunglasses and swept her long brown hair to the side as she headed out with members of the X Factor team including presenter Dermot O'Leary.

Later in the evening, X Factor presenter Dermot tweeted his followers a picture of Tulisa enjoying her birthday cake with the caption, 'Happy birthday young lady!'



Greeting the fans: The former Destiny's Child singer looked delighted as she waved to fans and signed autographs


Making her way in: Kelly waves as she arrives at Liverpool's Echo Arena for the next round of auditions


He later added: 'That, by the way is Tulisa. And it's her birthday, and it's a cake etc etc.'

Meanwhile, despite Tulisa's profile being increased dramatically since her inclusion on the X Factor judging panel, it seems she is struggling to adjust to her elevated celebrity status.

She revealed to her Twitter followers yesterday: 'So apparently I have 2 bring security with me if I go ibiza this year? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.


Here come the boys: Gary Barlow and Louis Walsh looked smart in their outfits as they arrived


Posing up: Louis smiled widely as he had a picture taken with a group of fans


'I think they must be doing it in case any1 starts with me and they have 2 hold me back 2 stop me getting in2 trouble!'

She later added: 'This year I shall b sporting boxer shorts on my head instead of thongs,even more gold chains & a new tat saying CHAVTASTIC on my forehead!'

But while Tulisa might be struggling to comprehend her elevated level of fame, it's working well for her band N-Dubz.


Understated: The night before, Tulisa didn't quite have the X Factor in her plain black outfit as she celebrated her birthday in Liverpool

Little Monsters! Lady Gaga gets eggs thrown at her as she leaves a club in Sydney after night of partying

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Mobbed: Lady Gaga got swarmed by fans as she left a nightclub in Sydney, Australia last night


She is used to fans screaming and cheering her name, desperate to get close enough to touch her.

But last night Lady Gaga was the victim of some much more negative attention.

The singer had eggs thrown at her as she tried to leave the ARQ night club in Sydney, Australia, after a night of partying.


Good night: Gaga smiled as she made her way back to the car accompanied by a team of bodyguards


Despite the crazy situation, which didn't actually see the 25-year-old get hit by the projectiles,Gaga maintained her composure and kept a big smile on her face as she was escorted through the crowd to a waiting car.

However, one man in the crowd was in fact hit by and egg.

The Born This Way singer rocked a risqué black leather outfit which left little to the imagination as she spent the night bar-hopping in the Australian city.

Why my Suri doesn’t wear a coat in the cold, by Katie Holmes

By ANDREA MAGRATH

Pretty in pink: Katie Holmes covers the new issue of InStyle magazine and discusses criticism of her parenting of Suri


Her daughter is one of the most photographed people, let alone children, on the planet.

So on occasion, it is inevitable that the cameras are going to witness Suri Cruise doing, or wearing, something that causes other parents to raise an eyebrow - from the now-infamous 'penis' sweets the five-year-old unknowingly selected in a store, to her penchant for heels.

And now Katie Holmes has explained the story behind the much-criticised pictures of Suri out in New York in freezing winter temperatures without a coat.


Battle: Katie defends pictures of her daughter without a coat in winter, saying she knows the five-year-old will inevitably ask for the coat 'after a block of walking'


Speaking to InStyle magazine, the 32-year-old admits to being red-faced over the pictures.

'Recently, Suri and I were taking a walk and a fight got started because it was cold outside and she didn't want to wear her coat,' she tells the magazine. 'My philosophy is, well, fine, because after a block of walking you're going to ask me for your coat.

'So the pictures of her [without a coat in cold weather] are sort of embarrassing, but I said, "Suri, I'll take the hit. Just put it on when you get cold".'


'Manly' romance: The actress reveals that Tom's taste in romance involves taking her flying in fighter jets


Katie insists she doesn't feel pressure to give Suri a little brother or sister. 'We already have a very big family; a full household with cousins who are over a lot,'

she says. 'My biggest thing is making sure she's fully taken care of and doing well.'
The Mad Money star reveals how the family unit deals with their hectic

schedules: 'We Skype, and we try not to go for a week without seeing each other,' Katie tells the magazine.

'We're also very good at setting up camp wherever we go.'

Princess Charlene of Monaco 'spent honeymoon sleeping 10 MILES away from husband Albert' in different hotel

By PETER ALLEN

Royal couple: Monaco's Prince Albert and Princess Charlene leave the Palace after their wedding earlier this month


Prince Albert of Monaco and his bride spent their honeymoon in separate hotels ten miles apart, it has been claimed.

The 53-year-old billionaire and his 33-year-old wife of just over a week have cut short their trip to South Africa so he can take a DNA test to resolve a multi-million pound paternity claim.

But it has been alleged that while the newlyweds were away, they stayed apart – with Princess Charlene in a hotel in the beach resort of Umhlanga Rocks and her husband ten miles away in the city of Durban.


Sun-kissed: Prince Albert checked into the Hilton in Durban...


Reports of Albert’s alleged philandering had driven Charlene, a former Olympic swimmer, to try to run away from Monaco three times before their wedding.

But after the ceremony went ahead, the couple were expected to spend their honeymoon together in a £4,000-a-night suite at the Oyster Box Hotel in Umhlanga Rocks.

Prince Albert was thought to have booked the luxurious President’s Suite, which is spread over two floors and features its own swimming pool and a freestanding marble bath overlooking the Indian Ocean.


...while his wife was miles away at the Oyster Box


However, a South African newspaper has claimed that Princess Charlene stayed alone in a cheaper suite at the hotel, while Prince Albert checked into another hotel in Durban.

The report in City Press said: ‘It has been confirmed by a hotel spokesperson that Princess Charlene stayed in the Buthelezi Suite...Prince Albert stayed at the Hilton Hotel in Durban.’

The newspaper also suggested that when the couple met South African president Jacob Zuma, ‘they arrived in the same car but left in two separate vehicles’.


All smiles: Princess Charlene and Prince Albert II of Monaco step out at the Oyster Box Hotel, where they were due to stay, but it has now been claimed the couple slept ten miles apart during their honeymoon


Awkward? Princess Charlene and Prince Albert II of Monaco put on a show by kissing each other during their honeymoon in South Africa


It added: ‘Pictures of Charlene taken this week showed an unhappy woman who rarely smiled. The only time she showed real delight was when Archbishop Desmond Tutu hugged her.

‘Charlene and Albert cut short their South African stay on Friday, citing urgent business in Monaco as their reason.’

Albert must now undergo DNA tests to answer claims that he has fathered a third, and possibly even a fourth, love child.


Miles apart: Princess Charlene stayed at the Oyster Box Hotel, while Prince Albert was at the Hilton Hotel in Durban


Comforting: Princess Charlene shared a moment with South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu during a visit in Cape Town during her honeymoon


He already has a six-year-old son, Alexandre, with Togolese former air hostess Nicole Coste, and a 19-year-old daughter, Jazmin, with Tamara Rotolo, an American estate agent.

A constitutional expert last week suggested to French magazine VSD that Charlene had a ‘pact’ to produce a legitimate heir with her new husband before the couple can go their separate ways.

The professor, who teaches at the lycee Albert 1 in Monaco, added: ‘It’s the main reason for this peculiar marriage.’

Stay away, boys! Brian Austin Green chaperones Megan Fox to new film set after revelations of Transformers fling

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER


United front: Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green prove they're together and happier than ever on the New York City set of her new comedy The Dictator this morning


Brian Austin Green certainly made his presence felt as he chaperoned his wife Megan Fox to her first day of work on The Dictator today.

The former Beverly Hills 90210 stuck right by the actress' side as he escorted her onto the New York City set of The Dictator this morning.

It seems Green may be feeling a little over-protective following revelations Fox sparked up a romance with co-star Shia LaBeouf while filming Transformers.


It's a bird, it's a plane: Megan and her man hang out in the Big Apple


For her part, Fox looked low-key in a blue v-neck T-shirt, black leggings, a baseball cap and trainers.

This is the second time in a week that the couple has been photographed together; on July 7 they strolled hand-in-hand through the streets of Santa Monica, California, looking happy and in love.


Under her umbrella: The 25-year-old actress really IS a shady lady!


Happy go-lucky: The starlet isn't going to let any rumours dog her: she's going to grin and bear it!


The star, who was sacked from the Transformers franchise, is now hoping to resuscitate her once red-hot career withThe Dictator.

The film, which stars Sacha Baron Cohen and Anna Faris, is being directed by Larry Charles who helmed Bruno and Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan and certain to be hilarious.

Additionally, Megan is also starring in Friends With Kids alongside Bridesmaids alums Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudloph and Jon Hamm as well as Knocked Up director Judd Apatow's yet-to-be-titled project.



Together forever? The brunette beauty and her husband made their first public outing since Shia LaBeouf revealed he hooked up with his Transformers co-star on 7 July in Santa Monica, California

Bronze goddess Emma Watson walks the red carpet for the final time with Harry Potter co-stars Daniel and Rupert

By ANDREA MAGRATH

Statuesque: Emma Watson walks the red carpet at the premiere of Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part 2 in a strapless bronze Bottega Veneta creation


Emma Watson looked like a bronzed goddess as she walked the red carpet for the final time for Harry Potter today.

The actress dazzled in a stunning strapless creation by Bottega Veneta at the premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 in New York.

Emma, Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint were joined by other stars of the film including Tom Felton and Alan Rickman, and celebrity guests Sarah Jessica Parker, Matthew Broderick and Seth Green at the event.


The last time: Emma posed with her co-stars Rupert Grint and Daniel Radcliffe on the red carpet at the final Harry Potter premiere in New York today


Of her dramatic gown, Emma said: 'New York is such a fashion capital, I felt I could push the envelope a bit. With London I went a bit more classic (in her fairytale Oscar de la Renta dress) but for today I wanted to do something edgier.

The 21-year-old wore her gamine crop slicked and looked very grown up in elaborate gold leaf eye make-up.

Her striking appearance is a far cry from the little girl who turned up to the New York premiere of the first film, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in 2001.


Fashion forward: Of her dramatic gown, Emma said, 'New York is such a fashion capital, I felt I could push the envelope a bit. With London I went a bit more classic but for today I wanted to do something edgier'


Excited: Daniel Radcliffe, who has starred for a decade as the boy wizard, said he was 'sweating like pig in labour' with all the excitement, while Rupert Grint said he would miss people screaming his name


Farewell: The 21-year-old actress said it was 'tricky juggling act to do my job and be professional but it's very emotional'


Suave: Tom Felton (left), who plays Draco Malfoy, Matthew Lewis (centre), who plays Neville Longbottom, and Alan Rickman, who plays Professor Snape were dapper in their suits


Daniel, who turns 22 next week, was also shown a picture of himself as 12-year-old at his very first Harry Potter premiere. He laughed, 'I'm basically the same aren't I, I look the same, with just a slightly deeper voice.'

Speaking to Time Out this week he joked that his diminutive frame isn't the typical Hollywood action hero build.

'It’s very rare in your career that you get to play an action hero. I’m not the natural frame and stature of an action hero, so I may not get to play one again.


All grown up: The cast of the film franchise posed together inside the Lincoln Center


'I'll miss people screaming my name': Rupert Grint was the first to arrive and spent over an hour signing autographs and taking pictures with fans


Fan favourite: Emma said she planned to sleep and eat 'a very big brunch' tomorrow, when her Harry potter duties are wrapped up forever


He added: 'Things like bursting out of the water in film six, surrounded by a ring of fire…I won’t get to do that again. I miss that stuff.'

Speaking about his last outing as the boy wizard, Daniel said: 'I said to someone the other day, "It’s like the emotional range of Shakespeare with the action and blood of Tarantino." The body count in this film is massive.'

On the red carpet today, he added: 'The film is so much better than anything we've ever done, people will go nuts for it.'


End of an era: Daniel Radcliffe said of his co-stars Emma (right) and Rupert, 'No one knows what it's been like to go through this mad journey but us'


Family affair: Sarah Jessica Parker and her husband Matthew Broderick brought along their son James Wilkie


Radcliffe discussed his starring role in Broadway show How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, which his co-stars went to watch him in this week.

'Whenever you know they're in the audience you feel very proud, they're people I've worked with for 12 years so it means so much,' Daniel said.

Rupert Grint, who cheered Daniel on at the show this week, said: 'I was so proud (watching him), he looks so happy, completely in his element.'



Star of the show: Daniel Radcliffe is guided along the red carpet amidst screaming fans and photographers


Die-hard: Some bespectacled fans wait to see the cast


Rupert, the first of the film's stars to arrive, spent over an hour signing autographs and posing for pictures with fans on the red carpet.

Visibly overwhelmed as he spoke to reporters, he said: 'It's great to see everyone and the enthusiasm they have, it's very moving.

'It's crazy. It's very special to experience this, I'll miss it. I like these (premieres), being screamed at.'


Fairytale: Emma said she had chosen a more classic dress for the London premiere, and cringed when shown a picture of herself at the very first Harry Potter premiere in New York in 2001


All that glitters: Emma Watson looks slick as she arrives at the Late Show with David Letterman in New York today ahead of the premiere of Harry Potter


Earlier today Emma arrived at the Late Show with David Letterman today looking gorgeous as ever in a glittering mini dress.

With her gamine crop slicked back, the 21-year-old posed for photographers wearing the unusual one-sleeved Prada dress.

The fashion-forward outfit was only let down by her black patent and cork wedges.

The style, a favourite of Kate Middleton, has been popular of late thanks to the Duchess, but looked a little too conservative for her sequinned silver frock.


Thanks for the memories: Fan Deanna Nolasco waits for a glimpse of the stars at the New York premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2


Turn out: The streets near the Lincoln Center are lined with eager fans
