A Wicked day out! Brad and Angelina take spellbound brood out to see West End musical Wicked for Maddox's 10th birthday

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Celebration: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie took Maddox (left) to see the stage musical Wicked in London today for his 10th birthday with Shiloh, Zahara and Pax also coming along for the afternoon out

It's been a wet and dull summer's day in London - so what better way to entertain your bored children in the holidays than an afternoon out at the theatre?

That was Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's plan, as they took their brood out in London today to see the West End smash hit musical Wicked.


Fun day out: The family had been to Victoria's Apollo Theatre for the matinee performance


The family had clearly fallen under the production's spell too, and were seen beaming broadly as they left Victoria's Apollo Theatre to get a car back to their base in Richmond.

Daughter Shiloh, five, in particular seemed smitten by the show, and left clutching a cute winged monkey, a stuffed toy version of one of the show's fantastical characters.


Hands on: Brad and Angelina were beaming as they herded their happy brood to a waiting car


She and Maddox were joined by sister Zahara, six, and Pax, seven with three-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne deemed a bit too young for the afternoon's entertainment.

Angelina, 36, looked rather dressed up considering it was the middle of the afternoon, and was stunning in a classic LBD and nude heels


Daddy duty: Brad is currently in the UK filming World War Z but took time out of his filming schedule to go out with his family


Brad, 47, however was far more casual in a dark indigo shirt, denim jeans and black boots.

He had taken some time out from filming his latest movie World War Z in London to join his family for the matinee performance.

Angelina certainly wants to make sure her children are seeing all the sights London has to offer, and last week, took them to the city's Aquarium while Brad was busy.


Hollywood in town: Waiting fans could not wait to catch a glimpse of the A-List stars


The cast members were said to be delighted to have the famous family come to see their Wizard of Oz themed show.

'There was definitely a big excitement backstage! Everyone was on a high,' a Wicked cast member told Us Weekly.

The family did not sit in a VIP box but sat in the orchestra area and were surrounded by a few empty, reserved seats to maintain their privacy.


Daddy's little girl: Brad helped Zahara into the car by giving her a lift up as Angelina got in


Angelina has already been seen popping into a toy shop in Richmond to buy her children presents, including water pistols and pretend money.

Brad is in the capital filming his new zombie movie, World War Z. He is also producing the film, an adaption of Max Brooks’s novel.

Jennifer Lopez dives into work wearing a dolphin tattoo as Marc Anthony 'begs her to take him back'

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Dolphins equal no drama: Jennifer Lopez is all smiles on the Atlanta Georgia set of her new film, What To Expect When You're Expecting yesterday, safe in the knowledge that ex-husband Marc Anthony is begging her to take him back

Jennifer Lopez is not letting her divorce drama get in the way of her new job.

The 42-year-old star, ever the consummate professional, was all smiles on the set of her new film What To Expect When You're Expecting in Atlanta, Georgia, yesterday.


Secret smiles: J.Lo had a huge grin on her face after reading a mysterious text


Her outing comes amid rumours her estranged husband Marc Anthony is begging her to reconsider their split.

'His mood shifts from blaming her to begging her to take him back to telling her she is destroying his life,' a source told Us Weekly.

When it comes to cutting a divorce deal: 'He's being difficult on every little point. He wants to prolong things so she reconsiders.'


J. Lo phone home: The 42-year-old actress takes a phone call on the set of her new film in Atlanta, Georgia


But J.Lo is said to be loving her new-found singledom and has no intention of reuniting with Marc.

'She is very happy,' a second source proclaimed. 'She is surrounded by love.'

She certainly seemed content while filming scenes for her latest film at the Georgia Aquarium on 4 August.


Body language reveals all: Jennifer seemed to be pulling away from her hubby back in May as he clung to her arm at Simon Fuller's star ceremony

Wearing a grey dress and big black boots with her hair styled in a loose bun, the actress seemed happy and relaxed on set as she text on her phone.

She showed off a dolphin tattoo on her right shoulder, which may be for the film, or may be in honour of the football team she and her soon-to-be-ex own, the Miami Dolphins.

Loyal girlfriend: Chantelle Houghton sat by Alex Reid's side at his press conference earlier yesterday but the couple appeared bored as they tried and failed to suppress yawns

He has been gushing about just how much he loves his girlfriend Chantelle Houghton and despite her sitting right by his side Alex Reid was puckering up to someone else earlier yesterday.

Showing off: As the pair were weighed they showed off their moves


As the fighters were posing for pictures attempting to intimidate the other Alex leaned in for a cheeky kiss, which left Barrett raging and security had to step in to start a fight breaking out.

Before Alex took to the scales he was seen sitting down with Chantelle who, to be frank, looked extremely bored by the proceedings.

As the cagefighter sat in a cocky manner with his legs spread the former Big Brother contestant was seen attempting to suppress a yawn.


Squaring up: Alex and his opponent tried to intimidate each other before Alex surprised everyone by kissing Jason


And as her man got up onto the stage to size up to Jason, Chantelle had a glazed look on her face as Alex was weighed posing with his arms in the air.

He then stepped down to square up to Jason, who he is fighting tomorrow, before planting a kiss on his mouth.

Neither Alex, nor Chantelle mentioned the incident on Twitter.


Pucker up: Alex leaned in and kisses Jason on the lips which left the fighter raging and security had to pull them apart


Yesterday the couple gave a saccharine profession of love on This Morning gushing about each other and discussing their past relationships.

Alex explained: ‘I was very nervous when I first met Chantelle, because my heart was still broken... but she's mended it.'

And Chantelle was equally complimentary and said: 'I've got a lot going on personally... He makes me feel so secure. He makes me feel complete.'

'She's mended my broken heart... he makes me feel complete': Alex Reid and Chantelle Houghton gush about their love

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

'It's love': Chantelle Houghton and Alex Reid gaze at each other as they admit they're in love on This Morning

They've both been burned by their shortlived marriages and subsequent divorces.

But after just over three months together, it appears Chantelle Houghton, 27, and Alex Reid, 36, have overcome their heartbreak and found 'love'.

During their first joint TV interview, the couple said the 'L word' for the first time and admitted they had discussed possible marriage.



Whirlwind romance: Houghton was camera-ready as she left the ITV studios, but Reid appeared distracted


In a saccharine profession of love on This Morning, Reid said: 'I was very nervous when I first met Chantelle, because my heart was still broken... but she's mended it.'

Alluding to his estranged wife Katie Price, who dumped him in January after less than a year of marriage, he said: 'I was scared of love after... you know.

'It feels like there's no pressure - at first I was a bit stand-offish and I was like "hold on" - I was scared of love after for better for worse.'

Houghton met Reid at - ironically - the Fate Awards in Belfast on April 15 - just days after she split from TV presenter Rav Wilding following a five month romance.


Plenty of PDA: The couple sat shoulder-to-shoulder with their hands entwined during the interview


As well as dealing with breaking up with Wilding, Houghton was struggling to come to terms with news from her doctors her yo-yo dieting had seriously affected her fertility and she may not have children.

She said: 'I've got a lot going on personally... He makes me feel so secure. He makes me feel complete.'


Talking love: The new couple were questioned by Eamonn Holmes and his wife Ruth Langsford

Funeral for Charlie Sheen's Two and a Half Men character to air during season premiere

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Killed off: Charlie Sheen's Two and a Half Men character Charlie Harper will be killed off in the new season of the show

He was dramatically fired from hit comedy series Two and a Half Men earlier this year, to be replaced by Ashton Kutcher.

But Charlie Sheen's character in the series, Charlie Harper, faces a somewhat stickier end in the first episode of the forthcoming season.

According to reports, the jingle writing womaniser will be killed off, with cast members past and present attending his funeral.


All change: Ashton Kutcher takes Sheen's place in a new promo for the new season of Two and a Half Men alongside Angus T Jones and Jon Cryer


Deadline.com reports that the hotly anticipated episode will open with a memorial service attended by several of Harper's girlfriends.

His beach side home will then go on sale, with real life celebrities viewing the house.

This is then likely to lead to Sheen's replacement Ashton Kutcher buying the house with leading cast members Jon Cryer and Angus T Jones somehow remaining there with him.

The two-part season opener has been shrouded in secrecy with reports from Deadline that some scenes will be shot on a closed set.

Sheen has moved on to other projects and is currently developing a new comedy series Anger Management.

From 'Cole Cappuccino' to 'Katona Karrot'... Pippa Middleton's 'Royal Mocha' leads the celebrity tan tone scale as the most desirable shade in Britain

By JESSICA SATHERLEY

Choosing the right shade of fake tan can be a tough decision, but it has been revealed that Pippa Middleton is influencing British women to opt for a ‘Royal Mocha’ tone this summer.

Miss Middleton's glow has been named the most desirable skin tone by a new study which discovered the most and least desirable celebrity tans of 2011.

And as Pippa’s complexion came out on top, Kerry Katona’s ‘Karrot’ look left her at the bottom of the heap of the celebrity tan-tone chart.


Live chart: The models became part of the world's first tan-tone window display boasting celebrity branded skin shades at The Really Buff Boutique in London's Soho


Cheryl Cole’s ‘Cappuccino’ tan was the second most popular hue, followed by Amy Childs’ ‘Essex Copper’, Christine Bleakley’s ‘Burnished Bronze’ and Katie Price’s ‘Pricey Pecan’.

And yesterday six bikini-clad women were modelling the celebrity branded skin shades at a pop-up beauty salon in London’s Soho area.


Ready for summer: The bikini-clad models show off their fake tans for summer by holding beach balls with their celebrity branded shades


A team of experts, led by tanning guru James Harknett, studied over 100 female celebrities over a three-month period to identify the total of six distinct shades favoured by the rich and famous.

More than 2,000 British ladies then took part in the poll to vote on whose tan came out on top.

Pippa’s gorgeous glow dubbed ‘The Royal Mocha’ nabbed a whopping 60 per cent of the votes, closely followed by Cheryl Cole, who achieved 26 per cent of votes.
