2007-07-18 00:22:00
Victoria Beckham has tried to win over America with her charm, wit and fashion sense, and she's not ashamed to use her most powerful commodity – her marriage.

Hot HeirIf you're going to take up surfing, it's generally a good idea to find some waves. But try telling that to Paris Hilton . The 26-year-old, sporting a one piece star-covered number, took to the calm water for lessons on a long board with Australian pro-surfer Koby Aberton. Free to be me: a rather proud Paris takes a stand Unsteady as she goes: the heiress was all smiles during the lesson, despite struggling to keep uprightIt's proved to be a popular past time for Paris, who first showed off her surfing prowess during her post-prison holiday in Hawaii. This time, she soaked up a brief moment of glory as she successfully managed to stand upright, before quickly crashing down again with a spectacular splash.   Calm blue ocean: Paris took to the almost wave-free water in a skimpy one piece suitShe eventually admitted defeat, and instead lay on the board and sunbathed. A day earlier, Paris relaxed on the beach with a group of male pals, and showed off her latest purchase, ...

Stumpy, the duck born with four legs, has found loveStumpy, the duck born with four legs, is only three quarters the chap he used to be. After catching one of his feet in chicken wire, he had to have the entire limb amputated.     A feathered friend: Stumpy and AliceBut the accident turned out to be a blessing in disguise. The new streamlined three-legged Stumpy can waddle much faster than before, enabling him to catch up with his lady friend Alice when he is feeling amorous. And their owner believes it will not be long before the couple have a brood of ducklings to keep them on their toes.   Best feet forward: Stumpy as a duckling�It is wonderful that Stumpy has found love,� said Nicky Janaway, who runs the Warrawee Duck Farm in the New Forest with her husband Paul.

Streisand shows what not to wear
2007-07-15 19:27:00
You would think that by the age of 64, most women would be self-conscious enough to ensure their choice of evening wear does not expose parts of the body which have...well dropped below standards. But no one seems to have shared this with legendary entertainer Barbra Streisand as she stepped out in this rather unflattering black dress at the Clinton Global Initiative in New York. Exposed: Streisand flashes more than she realises.Streisand seemed to forget what a photographer's flash can do to a black dress as she unwittingly revealed she had left the black bra tucked up in her drawer at home. But this was not the first time Streisand has been left emmbarrased by the camera. Last month she was snapped outside her LA home looking like she had given her make-up artist and hairdresser the day off.

And Hogwarts itself is in trouble with the arrival of new teacher Dolores Umbridge (Imelda Staunton) who’s been brought in to stop the students experimenting with magic during their lessons.Her plan is obvious to nobody but Harry and pals Ron and Hermione who catch on that if they don’t know how to cast spells, they’ll have no defence against Voldemort. The answer is to recruit a group of like-minded students a...

The hulky hound with double the muscle powerMaybe they should call her a whoppet - after all, she's a whopper of a whippet. This is Wendy, the dog whose appearance is a long way from the usual long, lean and sleek look of her breed.   Beware: Wendy on the prowlShe was born with a genetic defect which has left her looking like the Incredible Hulk of Hound s. While her head, heart, lungs and legs are the size of those of a normal whippet, her gene defect means she is "double muscled". She weighs 4st4lb - twice as much as she should - and has bulging neck muscles, burly shoulders and haunches like a baboon. And unlike ordinary whippets known for their lithe and narrow frame, this four-year-old pedigree doesn't just have a sixpack stomach, she has a 24-pack.   The Incredible Hulk : The dog made of muscleSadly, her mixed-up genes mean she may have a shorter life expectancy than most breeds.

Worth £8m and preparing to be the face of Chanel , Emma Watson is a girl with a magic touch Emma Watson: The magic touchBeing an international child movie star can be a bit trying. For example, while making the new film Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix, Emma Watson became somewhat cheesed off with the movie's director, who likes to have, on average, 30 takes for each scene. She asked him if she was "contractually obliged" to repeat her lines so many times. David Yates — perhaps mindful of the fact that this teenager was being paid £1million for her performance as Harry's sidekick Hermione — told her that actually, yes, she was. It was a rare display of attitude from Emma, who is very popular on set and who has close relationships with everyone from her driver, who loves her like his own daughter, to the producer. "She is genuinely a very popular girl," says a source on the movie. "I never hear people bad-mouthing her, and I...
