It's a hard life! Sophie Monk indulges in a little yoga during a break in filming

By Mailonline Reporter

Indulging the soul: Sophie Monk takes the time to fit in a few yoga stretches during a break in filming on the beach in Maui, Hawaii yesterday


Sophie Monk is currently in Maui, Hawaii filming her new Australian TV show.

But it's not all work and no play for the model, as she took the opportunity during breaks to indulge in a few yoga stretches.

Monk was pictured yesterday showing off some of her best moves on the beach, dressed in a black bikini top and skimpy denim shorts.

When she did get back to work though it didn't look like she'd be in danger of working up too much of a sweat.

The crew filmed her reclining on a sun bed while she sipped from a can of Pepsi.
Nice work if you can get it!

The 30-year-old has been in Maui filming for several weeks, and has been spotted showing off her toned abs and svelte figure in various skimpy bikinis whilst frolicking in the surf.

Monk was recently pictured back in the company of her ex-boyfriend, John Diaz who she had previously split with after finding him in bed with another girl.

The pair were seen holding hands as they visited a coffee shop in Los Angeles together.

Sophie was linked to Entourage star Kevin Connolly in the weeks after her split from Diaz, a plastic surgeon.

But friends said Diaz was desperate to win the blonde back.

'He has been very persistent, calling and showing up at her home,' a friend said.

Monk announced the break up in an interview with an Australian radio station in July, saying: 'I rock up in the morning with a coffee and presents and he [Diaz] had a present there - a chick.'

She initially fled the scene, before deciding to confront him.

'I walked back in and went, "What’s going on?" and actually had a conversation,' she recalls. 'I spoke to the girl. She was in shock. I didn’t know her. She was innocent.'

Monk, who has starred in Click and Date Movie, recently wrapped filming The Legend of Awesomest Maximus, a comedy starring actor Rip Torn and former Beverly Hills 90210 star Ian Ziering.

She previously dated Good Charlotte rocker Benji Madden.

Christine Bleakley overdoes the fake tan as she reunites with Adrian Chiles ahead of TV return

By Daily Mail Reporter

Tan fan: Christine Bleakley appeared to have overdone the fake tan as she promoted her new ITV show Daybreak


With her return to TV screens looming, Christine Bleakley is obviously keen to look her best.

But as she posed for a photoshoot to promote her new show Daybreak it appeared she may have been seeking beauty advice from her fellow WAGs.

The presenter appeared to have layered on the fake tan in a typical footballer's wife style, with her skin boasting a dark glow.

It comes just a few weeks after she and boyfriend Frank Lampard were spotted enjoying a night on the town sporting matching orange glows.

But while Lampard matched his skin to Christine's, her old friend Adrian Chiles appeared to have stuck to his natural skin tone.

The pair are set to be reunited five months after they last shared the sofa for The One Show.

Orange? Christine on a night out with boyfriend Frank Lampard


They will return to TV as they front their new programme, which is replacing GMTV, from next Monday.

Chiles, 43, walked turned his back on the BBC in April after it emerged he was being asked to make way for Chris Evans on Friday nights.

It has since emerged that he even rejected a chat show offered by BBC bosses desperate to keep him at the station.

BBC1 controller Jay Hunt said: 'Of course Adrian was hurt. Adrian was hurt by the changes to Friday night.'

She told an audience at the Edinburgh Festival that he was offered a 'range of opportunities' including a chat show and sports shows and said it was 'the sort of offer of work that a lot of presenters would give their back teeth for'.

Christine announced she would be joining Chiles in July after she signed a £4million three-year deal with ITV after the BBC withdrew its £900,000 two-year-offer to stay at the corporation.

Their arrival has seen the departure of veteran GMTV hosts Penny Smith and Andrew Castle, while Kate Garraway has been handed the role of entertainment editor.

Emmys 2010: Glee and Mad Men celebrate big wins, as autistic film Temple Grandin scoop the most awards

By Daily Mail Reporter

Triumphant: Glee's Sue Sylvester (left) picked up Best Supporting Actress gong and co-star Lea Michele missed out on a Lead Actress, but certainly won over fashion critics with her Oscar De La Renta dress


TV film Temple Grandin wins five gongs, including Best Actress in a TV movie for Claire Danes

Glee gets three trophies, but is beaten by Modern Family for Best Comedy

Mad Men gets two awards, with third win consecutive for Best Drama Series

They're two of the biggest shows on television right now, so it was no surprise to see Glee and Mad Men picking up a host of coveted awards at the Emmys last night.

Musical comedy Glee received three accolades at the Los Angeles ceremony, including Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy for Jane Lynch, for her performance as caustic coach Sue Sylvester.

The show also picked Best Director of a Comedy Series for creator Ryan Murphy, but missed out on the coveted Best Comedy gong to Modern Family.

Thank you: Glee star Jane Lynch, in a one-shouldered Ali Rahimi gown, accepts the outstanding supporting actress in a comedy series award for her part as Sue Sylvester. The musical show won a total of three awards


The hugely popular musical show also received an award for Outstanding Guest Actor Neil Patrick Harris, who played Brian Ryan, Will Schuester's (Matthew Morrison) old high school glee club nemesis.

Mad Men made it a third consecutive win for the prestigious best drama series at last night's 62nd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, with Erin Levy and Matthew Weiner also receiving a trophy for outstanding writing for the show, set in 1960s America.

But the bigger winner last night was TV film Temple Grandin, which led the haul with five gongs.

The made-for-TV biopic stars Claire Danes as autistic animal scientist Temple Grandin who revolutionised practises for the humane handling of livestock on cattle ranches and slaughterhouses.

Danes won the gong for best actress in a TV movie, with the flick also being honoured in the category for best director (Mick Jackson), best movie, and nods for David Strathairn and Julia Ormond for their roles as supporting actor and actress.

The film debuted on HBO in February and received overwhelmingly positive reviews.

An emotional Temple Grandin, who was also celebrating her birthday, was there in person and appeared onstage with the cast as the film raked in its awards.

Mockumentary Modern Family was named Best Comedy, beating Glee, The Office, Curb Your Enthusiasm, 30 Rock and Nurse Jackie to the title.

To our fans, we are so grateful, we are so thrilled that families are sitting down together to watch a television show, and we're so happy that you have let us into your families,' said Steven Levitan, Modern Family executive producer.

The best comedy series award was the first for the freshman sitcom, which also captured an acting award for Eric Stonestreet and a best writing trophy.

Mad Men's series creator Matthew Weiner seemed to take the night in his stride.

'I knew one day I would run somewhere and win a trophy,' Weiner joked earlier in the ceremony when he dashed to the stage to claim the Emmy for best drama series writing with Erin Levy.

Humbled: David Strathairn picked up the trophy for best supporting actor in Temple Grandin


Bryan Cranston's portrayal of a meth dealer in 'Breaking Bad' and Kyra Sedgwick's role as a brassy deputy police chief in 'The Closer' earned the pair top drama series acting awards.

Cranston's honor was his third trophy for playing a high school math teacher gone wrong, while his co-star, Aaron Paul, earned his first award as best supporting actor for playing his partner-in-crime.

'During the time it took me to walk up here, I venture there were 200 text messages to the other nominees saying, 'You were robbed.' I cannot argue with that,' Cranston said.


High praise: Weiner, flanked by January Jones, makes a speech as Mad Men writer Erin Levy holds her award for outstanding writing for a drama series for, the second award the show received


Archie Panjabi of 'The Good Wife' was honoured as best supporting actress in a drama for her part as a law-firm's in-house private investigator, as Emmy voters spread the riches widely among veterans and fresh faces.

Edie Falco of 'Nurse Jackie' and Jim Parsons of 'The Big Bang Theory' were honoured for their comedy series lead roles.

Falco's trophy for playing a tough but troubled nurse came after her hallmark turn as a mob boss' wife in 'The Sopranos,' for which she won three best drama actress Emmys.

'Oh, this is the most ridiculous thing that has ever, ever happened in the history of this lovely awards show. I'm not funny!' Falco said.

Parsons won for his portrayal of a scientist as nerdy as he is brilliant. He ended fellow nominee Alec Baldwin's two-year winning streak for '30 Rock' and beat out other heavyweights including Tony Shalhoub, nominated for the final season of 'Monk' and a three-time winner, and Steve Carell of 'The Office.'

'Now I know how much I didn't think this was going to happen. Some of you apparently voted for me. That was very sweet,' Parsons told the theatre audience.

Trio of fun: True Blood stars Alexander Skarsgard and newlywed real life couple Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer presented the award for best director for a TV movie which went to Mick Jackson for Temple Grandin


Stonestreet of 'Modern Family' and Lynch of 'Glee' were honoured for their comedy-series supporting roles.

'All I wanted to be was a clown in the circus when I was a kid growing up,' said Stonestreet, who plays a boisterous gay dad and partner. He thanked his parents for their support and promised to send his trophy home with them.

Lynch also thanked her folks along with her wife, Lara Embry. The pair married in Massachusetts in May.

'Top Chef' won best reality series, ending the seven-year winning streak of 'The Amazing Race.'

George Clooney accepted the Bob Hope Humanitarian Award from his former 'ER' co-star, Julianna Margulies, who lauded his fundraising efforts for victims of this year's earthquake in Haiti, the 2004 tsunami in Indonesia and the September 11 terrorist attacks.

Clooney, recalling evenings spent with Bob and Dolores Hope at the home of his aunt, singer Rosemary Clooney, said he was inspired by the late comedian and his wife, now 101.

Much of the group ended up on the Nokia Theatre stage to kick off the awards with a high-energy version of 'Born to Run,' with Fallon on guitar.

'Tonight we're going to celebrate your work,' Fallon told the audience. 'So let's have some fun tonight.'

Last year's host, Neil Patrick Harris, was a presenter Sunday and took the time to rib Fallon.

Kerry Katona 'finds new love through online dating site'

By Mail Online Reporter

New love? Kerry Katona is said to have found a new man on match.com


Kerry Katona is said to have found a new boyfriend after signing up to an online dating site.

The 29-year-old star, who recently split from builder Adam Waldron, has apparently already been on a date with kick-boxer Scott Gibson after meeting him on match.com.

Kerry is thought to have been so impressed by the pictures of 29-year-old Scott that she sent him a series of messages under a false name, before eventually sending him a picture of herself.

But, upon receiving the picture, Scott is said to have replied: 'You look a bit like that Kerry Katona!'

A friend of Kerry's told the News Of The World: 'He's handsome, muscly and a nice guy.

'Kerry thought it was brilliant Scott had no idea who she was at first.'

And it was after the pair had their first date at a romantic wine bar in Brighton that Kerry really started to get excited about her future with the fighter.

The friend added: 'After the date she was buzzing. She said they kissed goodnight and it was electric. She is having a lot of fun at the moment.'

The pairing is also reminiscent of Kerry's rival Katie Price meeting cage fighter Alex Reid shortly after splitting from Peter Andre.

A spokesperson told the newspaper last night that Kerry had met Scott, but wasn't ready to start a new relationship.

And Kerry said recently that despite her split from Waldron, she is enjoying the single life.


Martial arts expert: Kerry is thought to have already enjoyed one date with kick-boxer Scott Gibson

Speaking at the premiere of Angelina Jolie's new movie Satl earlier this week, she said: 'I'm single. Dating my kids at the minute which is quite good.

'I've had it with men. I've had enough.'

Kerry was also quoted as saying that after two failed marriages, she has no plans to walk down the aisle a third time.

She said: 'I'm never getting married again or ever having any more children.

'There are no plans to move back up North with anyone, I live in London now with my children. I'm staying single and that is it.'

Emmys 2010: Kim Kardashian and Glee's Lea Michele gush over each other's dresses as stars hit the red carpet

By Daily Mail Reporter

Leading the star: Kim Kardashian and Glee's Lea Michele took to the red carpet at the 62nd Annual Primetime Emmy Award in Los Angeles, with Kim wearing a white Marchesa gown and Lea in an Oscar De La Renta dress


Kim Kardashian and Glee star Lea Michele joined the mutual appreciation society as they both gushed over each other's outfits at the 62nd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards.

The starlets started complimenting one another and swapped jewellery tips as they were interviewed on the red carpet by Ryan Seacrest outside the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles tonight.

Kim, 29, looked dazzling in a Grecian-style, floor length white Marchesa gown while Lea, 24, opted for a dark blue Oscar De La Renta dress, which Kim revealed she was 'freaking out' over.

While on the red carpet, Kim was quizzed about her relationship status, but appeared unsure whether she was 'taken' - despite being seen out and about with NFL hunk Miles Austin.

When asked whether she was 'taken' by E! presenter Seacrest, the curvy brunette said: 'I don't know, I don't know. I'm dating.'

And even though she looked immaculate in the figure-hugging number, Kim complained of difficulties choosing the right dress because she felt bloated from overeating the previous day.


Hight hopes: Glee is nominated for 19 awards, with Lea up for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series

A plethora of stars from the world of film and TV were present at the glitzy television awards ceremony.

Mad Men's January Jones said she felt 'like a peacock' in her dramatic blue gown, complete with Madonna-style cone bra detailing.

She also appeared to confirm she is dating Saturday Night Live cast member Jason Sudeikis, by admitting he was her 'good luck charm' for the night.

Her co-star Christina Hendricks poured her famous curves into a plunging grey number, with tassells around the bust and down the side.

Fellow Mad Men actor Jon Hamm, who plays the dashing Don Draper in the Sixties show, was with his parter Jennifer Westfeldt.

The couple have been dating for 12 years and he joked that they were going to get married at the ceremony, with Westfeldt saying it would be an 'easy moment'.

Jimmy Fallon hosted the awards on NBC, which aired live across America after three decades of tape-delay broadcasts for the West Coast.

Fans shrieked from the bleachers outside the Nokia Theatre as Fallon arrived before showtime.

There were also cheers as Tina Fey, LL Cool J, Kevin Bacon, John Goodman, Eva Longoria and veteran funny lady Betty White walked the red carpet.

Desperate Housewives star Eva looked stunning a flowing black gown and was joined by her husband Tony Parker.

She said she had enjoyed her summer vacation in Europe and was now back to work on the set of the hit show, with Season Seven set to air next month.


Dazzlers: Mad Men's Elisabeth Moss, British star Emily Blunt and Dexter actress Jennifer Carpenter all went for asymmetrical designs

The 35-year-old also commented on the tight nature of her oufit around the bust, saying: 'It's always tight on top.'

Hit musical comedy show Glee about a high school glee club was led the nominees at Sunday's Emmy Awards, including bids for best comedy series and cast members Matthew Morrison, Lea Michele, Jane Lynch and Chris Colfer. The show was nominated for a total of 19 gongs.

Modern Family was another freshman comedy front-runner, while 30 Rock was trying for its fourth consecutive best comedy series Emmy and Mad Men competed for its third drama series trophy.

Others defending their title included Bryan Cranston of Breaking Bad and Glenn Close of Damages, who claimed drama series acting honours last year, and, on the comedy side, Toni Collette of The United States of Tara and Alec Baldwin of 30 Rock.

Looking dapper: Fellow Glee star Cory Monteith, left, and Kevin McHale smarted up in suits while co-star Jenna Ushkowitz looked sexy in red


The public had a hand in writing some of host Fallon's material. He planned to bring many celebrity presenters onstage with introductions submitted through Twitter.

Other Emmy contenders included Conan O'Brien's short-lived Tonight, which was nominated as best variety, music or comedy series while the show with Jay Leno back in charge was snubbed. David Letterman's Late Show also missed out on a nod, but 2009 winner The Daily Show With Jon Stewart was nominated.

The final season of Lost competed for best drama series and for acting honours for star Matthew Fox and supporting cast members Terry O'Quinn and Michael Emerson, chosen as best supporting drama actor last year.

Family affair: Actress Susan Sarandon and her daughter Eva Amurri, left, were a vision in their contrasting black and nude-coloured garments, while, right, Glenn Close and her daughter Annie Starke


HBO came into the ceremony as the kingpin after claiming 17 awards at the Aug. 21 creative arts Emmys, followed by ABC with 15 and Fox with nine. CBS, NBC and PBS each claimed seven.

The Pacific, the World War II miniseries produced by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, was the top nominee and captured a leading seven creative arts awards, which recognize technical and other achievements.

Ratings for the awards have increased importance: The TV academy's contract is up for renewal with the four major networks that had been airing the show in rotation for eight years, and the academy hopes last year's 8 percent audience increase is a trend after an all-time low in 2008.

The show's live nationwide broadcast and scheduling could be factors. The Emmys typically have aired immediately before TV's mid-September kickoff, but NBC pushed up the awards telecast to avoid a conflict with its Sunday night National Football League games that begin Sept. 12.

But fewer people tend to watch summertime TV, and the 5 p.m. PDT pre-primetime slot for the Emmys on the West Coast also tends to draw a smaller audience.

Fascinators: The Duchess of York and her daughters wore matching headwear to the family wedding


The Duchess of York put nearly £5 million of debts and the threat of bankruptcy behind her as she and her daughters enjoyed a family wedding yesterday.

Fergie, in a gem-studded dress, Beatrice and Eugenie all sported feather fascinators on their heads to match their outfits.

Looking tanned after eight foreign holidays this summer, Fergie, 50, was in Dummer, Hampshire, for the wedding of her half-sister Alice to banker Nick Stileman.
