Britney has been branded Puff Mommy

Britney Spears' parenting skills have come under fire yet again after photographs emerged showing the star smoking in front of her son as he plays with a packet of cigarettes.

The singer, branded 'Puff Mommy' by the American press, eventually takes the Marlboro Lights and a lighter from the two-year-old's hands, but continues to subject him to second-hand smoke.

Health experts have criticised Britney's 'shocking' behaviour, calling her a 'poor role model' for her children.

It comes a week after Britney officially agreed to give her ex-husband Kevin Federline sole custody of the couple's two sons, Sean Preston and Jayden, 1.

She is currently allowed two visits and one overnight per week in the settlement.

It is the latest in a string of high-profile parenting dramas for the 26-year-old.

In January this year, she was placed on lockdown for a mental evaluation after she locked herself in a room with Sean Preston at her LA home and refused to hand him over to Federline.

In February 2006, she was caught driving with Sean Preston on her lap with no seat belts and the following month she received a visit from child welfare officers when Sean Preston fell from his high chair, bruising his head.

That same year, she was photographed nearly dropping him while leaving a New York hotel.

Bar Rafaeli strips down to her bikini

All eyes were on Leonardo DiCaprio's girlfriend Bar Rafaeli as she showed off her model figure on St Tropez's beach yesterday.

The Israeli beauty, 23, showed off her stunning curves which have landed her modeling jobs with Ralph Lauren and Victoria's Secret.

Arriving at the French Riviera's seaside with a female friend, a hot and bothered Bar swiftly removed her floral jumpsuit.

It appeared the beauty was desperate to jump in the inviting water as quickly as possible as she performed a rapid strip before plunging into the refreshing sea.

Bar's golden tan was perfectly complemented by her hot pink bikini and aviator shades.

Those unaware of Bar's celebrity status wouldn't be too hard pressed to guess her profession - as she arrived on the beach she swung her hair around shampoo ad-style.

Meanwhile, Bar's actor boyfriend Leonardo was nowhere to be seen.

The actor has just finished a string of movies and is set to start filming Quentin Tarantino Inglorious Bastards alongside Brad Pitt later this year.

The couple have been dating since 2006 after the Titanic star ended his long-term relationship with supermodel Gisele Bundchen.

Eva Mendes strikes a smouldering pose Calvin Klein campaign

After a stint in rehab earlier this year, Hollywood star Eva Mendes is back in business.

The 2 Fast 2 Furious actress appears in a smouldering new ad campaign for Calvin Klien's Seductive Comfort underwear range.

She is also gearing up to begin work on her next film, the crime drama Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans which will co-star Val Kilmer and Nicolas Cage.

Bouncing back: Eva Mendes in a new Calvin Klein campaign

Mendes checked into the Cirque Lodge in Utah in January to treat 'personal issues,' amid reports of drug use and body issues.

She says: 'There are so many lies out there regarding my recent trip to Cirque Lodge. But I don't care what people think. I just don't care. So I will neither confirm nor deny.

'I'm not a spokesperson for any kind of substance-abuse organization.'

But the 34-year-old isn't ashamed of reaching out for help.

'I'm proud of people who have the determination and the fearlessness to actually go and face their demons and get better.'

Still, she admits that she's still 'sensitive on the subject', and recently snapped at a reporter for US magazine who joked that in Hollywood, Alcoholics Anonymous should be called Alcoholics Unanimous.

In response to the journalist's quip, she said: 'I'm not making jokes, because people die from this stuff.'

'So, honestly, I think it's a bit tacky that you made a joke. I've got to be honest.'

Britney Spears showed off her slimmed down figure

Britney Spears has lost a stone in recent months - but it certainly hasn't come cheap.

The star signed up to a £11,000-a-month diet and exercise regime after her bloated tummy sparked pregnancy rumours earlier this year, according to a report.

The mother-of-two, who eagerly showed off her slimmed down bikini body during a trip to Mexico over the weekend, is back to 9st after the stress of her custody battle saw her tip the scales at 10st 4lbs.

The singer sparked pregnancy rumours after appearing bloated during a trip to Cabo in May. Her expensive heath make-over included £5,000-a-month on a nutritionist and diet supplements, £4,000 on a personal trainer and £2,000 on a private dance choreographer.

A source was quoted in Closer magazine as saying: 'She limits herself to 1400 calories a day with one 'cheat day' where she'll treat herself.'

'She also changed the way she eats, trying to have only two thirds of what is on her plate. It's all about portion control and fresh food now. And lots of water in place of Red Bull.'
Big spender: Britney is said to splash out £11,000-a-month on diet and fitness

She has also taken on some of Victoria Beckham's diet tips, eating plenty of steamed fish and snacking on edamame beans.

Britney also endures intensive work-outs with Pussycat Dolls' personal trainer James Van Daff as well as three-hour dance classes six times a week.

The source added: 'Britney piled on a lot of weight earlier this year. She was sho stressed about the custody case and her medication for her bipolar disorder also made her put on weight. She was tired of being flabby and wanted to do something about it.

Now, says the insider: 'Britney is so proud of herself because her ab muscles are back'.

'She's feeling better than she has in ages.'

Elisabetta Gregoraci shows off her bikini body

Six weeks after their romantic Roman wedding, it appears the honeymoon still isn't over for Formula One boss Flavio Briatore and his new wife Elisabetta Gregoraci.
While most newlyweds spent an average of two weeks on holiday following their nuptials, billionaire Flavio can afford to extend his romantic vacation.

But the vacation isn't as intimate as the couple may have hoped for, they have been joined by a host of friends, including retail tycoon Sir Philip Green.

The couple have been holidaying on a yacht docked in Sardinia over the last few weeks, giving 28-year-old model Elisabetta plenty of opportunity to show off her stunning figure in a series of eye-catching bikinis.

Despite his new wife's striking curves, portly Flavio was content enough with his larger size to let it all hang out.

The couple, who share a 30 year age gap, attracted a lot of attention as they strolled down the beach in Marinella surrounded by their huge entourage.

Stephanie McMichael 15 minutes of fame with a raunchy photoshoot

Big Brother reject Stephanie McMichael has launched a desperate bid to hold onto her fifteen minutes of fame.

The blonde 19-year-old posed for a series of raunchy shots, in a bikini, and to add variety, a skimpy tennis dress, in what looks like a last ditch attempt to extend her moment in the spotlight.

After being the first housemate to be voted off, Stephanie is clearly keen to maximise the few opportunities that have arisen as a result of her brief stay in the Big Brother house.

The 19-year-old posed for the series of provocative shots wearing lingerie, sportswear and a tiny crocheted bikini.

She even recreated the famous Athena tennis girl poster for one shot.

Since leaving the house Stephanie has been linked to former Big Brother contestant, Liam McGough.

The pair struck up the latest z-list romance to emerge from the reality show after meeting at a Miss England party at the Studio Valbonne bar in central London a few weeks ago.

Geordie Liam and Steph reportedly swapped numbers and arranged to meet up last week at the birthday bash of BB8 winner Brian Belo at the Embassy nightclub.

The pair hit it off and headed to Big Brother contestant Ziggy Lichman's pad for a nightcap, where they allegedly spent the night together.

.A source told The Sun they are now texting daily, and added: 'The chemistry between them was instant. Liam's a real charmer and they have been texting each other non-stop.'

'Stephanie is approaching things with caution but can't wait to see Liam again.'

The former Girls Aloud hopeful who auditioned for television show Popstars: The Rivals, has also dated BB6 winner Anthony Hutton.

Jenny Frost looked toned and tanned in a stripy bikini

Atomic Kitten singer Jenny Frost certainly didn't live up to her surname as she showed off her sizzling figure on a sweltering holiday in Greece.

The 30-year-old singer and her DJ fiance Dominic 'Dom T' Thrupp are vacationing with their baby son Caspar in the Greece's largest island Crete.

Despite giving birth just nine months ago, Jenny has slimmed down to her pre-baby shape.

As she frolicked in the pool with Dominic and baby Caspar, Jenny showed off her svelte, tanned figure in her tiny stripy bikini.

In the sweltering temperatures of Crete, the family couldn't tear themselves away from the refreshing, cool water of the hotel swimming pool.

While glowing Jenny continued to work on her already dark tan, she made sure baby Caspar was covered in plenty of sunblock and a hat to keep the sun off his face.

Jenny and Dominic couldn't take their eyes of their baby son as they watched him enjoy his first experience of water floating about in an inflatable seat.

The Whole Again singer and long-term love Dominic welcomed Caspar last October after a worrying pregnancy.

During a pregnancy scan, doctors highlighted a possible abnormality on the baby, which lead to weeks of anxiety for the expectant parents.

She said: 'At my 20-week scan a development problem showed up with Caspar's head, which was a huge concern and very scary.
Happy families: Jenny Frost smiles lovingly at fiance Dominic Thrupp as he cradles their son Caspar

'I have the best friends and family in the world but I like to deal with things on my own, so I went back into my shell and sat on the sofa, watched TV and ate.

'I just blocked everything out and said my prayers, and we got the all-clear at 27 weeks. We kept as positive as we could and, thankfully, Caspar's perfect.'

Since giving birth to Caspar, Jenny has turned her back on the London party scene in favour of quiet nights in.

Jenny, who is part of London's Primrose Hill set alongside Kate Moss, Davina Taylor and Sadie Frost, admits she does get the occasional night out, but doesn't go as wild as she used to.

Sea of love: Jenny kisses her fiance Dominic as floating baby Caspar looks on

She said: 'Before I got pregnant, I was the most irresponsible person in the world. I liked to get drunk and party but I changed overnight. Having a baby has completely transformed my life.'

As well as getting to grips with motherhood, Jenny has also turned her hand to TV presenting and hosted the BBC Three show Snog, Marry, Avoid.

Meanwhile, Jenny is still singing with Atomic Kitten as festival gigs up and down the country.

Despite the pop trio - comprising of Jenny, Liz McClarnon and Natasha Hamilton - announcing a hiatus in 2004, they returned to the performing scene last year and in January released the single Anyone Who Had A Heart.

Mischa Barton in her saggy swimsuit

Mischa Barton was hoping to stand out from the bikini crowd in a distinctive crochet swimming costume at Malibu beach this week - but it didn't quite go according to plan.

The Hollywood actress had a bikini malfunction after her saggy costume revealed more of her derrière than intended as she frolicked on the sand.
Sun lover: Mischa Barton hit a secluded beach in Malibu wearing a crochet one-piece swimsuit earlier this week

Mischa appeared oblivious to the slip-up, and continued to enjoy her low-key afternoon of sunshine and romance with her boyfriend Taylor Locke.

The former star of The OC has been back on her best behaviour following her arrest in April, which saw her sentenced to three years probation for drink driving.

She told Nylon magazine: 'That was a low point for me. I never, ever would have thought I would be arrested.

Saggy: Mischa revealed a little more than intended in her saggy swimsuit

'I was disappointed because it associated me with a group of girls that I would rather not be associated with.'

The actress now spends much of her time living in Paris rather than Hollywood.

She says: 'I love the art and the museums. So far I have been hanging out, really – going to art exhibitions, lots of museums.

When back in LA, Mischa spends most of her time catching up with Locke, who plays guitar with the band Rooney.

Of her romantic life, she says: 'I would rather date outside of the industry. I think actors are a special breed, it takes a specific personality to be an actor - there needs to be some kind of balance.'

Woman in the pink skirt

Singer Heidi Range usually cuts a confident figure onstage with top girl band Sugababes.

But it seems the pretty Liverpudlian is less than confident strolling the beach in a bikini as she covered up most of her curvy body in a flowing skirt.

Heidi sunbathed in the 90 degree heat but seemed quite keen to keep her derriere covered and under wraps at all times where possible with her pink gipsy-style skirt.
Cover up: Heidi Range of top girl band The Sugababes covers up her curvy derriere with a long pink skirt as she holidays in Miami

Heidi, whose band hit the top spot with song 'Woman in the Red Dress' was seen sunbathing on Miami Beach with older sister Hayley.

But it seems the 25-year-old singer was keen to avoid the ever-present paparazzi because as soon as she spotted them, she apparently called hotel security to be escorted back to the hotel.

She was accompanied by two extremely tall security guards who dwarfed the pint-sized singer, as they walked her back to her five star hotel.

Quite why the singer felt the need to cover up is unclear, as she cut a fine figure in her zebra print bikini.

Earlier Heidi kept cool in the pool but was spotted doing a few sneaky exercises later in the day at the Miami Beach hotel.

The Sugababes completed a gruelling tour of the UK earlier this year, playing in both Glasgow and Edinburgh, and Heidi is obviously determined she will still fit into her red touring Dress when she gets home.

The pop star recently bought a London house with long-term love, MTV presenter Dave Berry.

Brooke strips off for raunchy bikini photo shoot

Brooke's wrestler dad Hulk used to insist his little girl wasn't left alone with a boy, or even allowed to go on a date.

But as these steamy photos show the 19-year-old aspiring pop star is now in control of her own destiny.
Brooke's father Hulk refused to let his daughter go on any dates while she lived at home

The shots were taken to promote her new reality TV show - Brooke Knows Best.

The teenager found fame in her parents' TV show Hogan Knows Best, but after the collapse of their marriage she has moved into her own home in Miami.

Her attempts at a pop career have been ridiculed in the American press, but this hasn't stopped Brooke from pursuing her ambition, followed by the cameras.

Brooke's mother Linda filed for divorce from Hulk in November last year after 23 years of marriage.

The couple's relationship was rocked when son Nick, 17, crashed his car while street racing, leaving passenger and family friend John Graziano, 22, with severe brain injuries.

Hulk Hogan was popular as a champion of the World Wrestling Federation in the 1980's and now hosts the NBC game show American Gladiators.

Argentine Strictly Come Dancing

Strictly Come Dancing was a huge hit when it started in Britain four years ago and the formula has been repeated to equal success across on the world.

But while most countries' versions feature traditional dances such as the foxtrot, samba, tango and jive, the Argentine show has its own racier take.

The latest episode of Bailando Por Un Sueno (Dancing For A Dream) featured 32 Argentine celebrities pole-dancing with regular people.

While past Strictly Come Dancing contestants in Britain such as Natasha Kaplinsky and Alesha Dixon wore lycra, sequinned gowns, the Argentine contestants' outfits leave little to the imagination.

The pole-dancing segment last week saw the women in PVC and lycra bikinis, PVC boots, and some brave contestants managed to venture on stage in g-strings.

Meanwhile, the male dancers were covered in face paint and loin cloths and little else.

The show has been going for three years and featured traditional dances, but this year producers have decided to spice things up with the pole-dancing, strip-tease and hip-hop segments.

The raunchier show stars a host of Argentine celebrities, including former Victoria's Secret model Carolina Ardohain, actress Jessica Cirio and former porn star Ilona Staller.

The sexed-up series has proved to be a ratings winner and proved a welcome distraction from the country's economic problems and revolting farmers.

Last week's episode of Bailando Por Un Sueno attracted over a third of the country's audience share.

Luciano Lopez, an editor at Argentine news service Primiciasya.com, told Variety: 'People are looking for more entertainment after such a long time of social problems.'

Alex Curran hit the beach in a frilly string bikini

Leaving barely enough time for her tan to fade, Alex Curran has jetted off for her second sun holiday in as many months.

The WAG hit the beach in a frilly string bikini in Spain over the weekend while enjoying a girls-only break, despite just returning from a three-week stay in Miami with husband Steven Gerrard.
Fun in the sun: Alex Curran has arrived in Spain for her second luxury holiday in as many months

Alex, who has two children Lilly-Ella, four, and Lexie, almost two, looked toned and taut as she frolicked along the foreshore.

The WAG recently revealed she has embarked on a new fitness regime.

She says: 'I've started power walking with my mum a few times a week and I can really tell the difference.

'We also have a pool at home and every other day I try to swim 25 lengths while the girls are playing.'

Shaping up: Alex says she has ramped up her exercise regime

'I haven't felt quite the same about my body since having children and I would just like to be fitter to be able to keep up with my girls.'

Alex says it is her shape, not a number on the scales, that she is focused on changing.

'I never weigh myself. I'm not sure what I weigh - I think I'm around eight and a half stone.

'I can tell if I've put on a few pounds by the way my clothes fit. It's best to keep off the scales as you can drive yourself mad.'

Making a splash: Alex cooled off in the sea

Anna Kournikova Strike a pose

When Anna Kournikova first stepped on to the international tennis stage in 1998, she quickly gained pin-up status thanks to her womanly curves.

Following a period out of the game due to injury, the Russian beauty returned to the scene three years ago cutting a skinnier, athletic frame, much to the disdain of her male fans.

Just four months after showing off her tiny figure at a triathlon in Florida, it appears the 27-year-old has regained the stunning figure that she was famous for.
Showing front in the front row: Anna Kournikova is back to her curvier figure again after cutting a skinnier figure over the last few years

The blonde was clearly proud of her shapely figure as she stepped out in a white mini skirt and plunging black camisole at the Red Carter swimwear fashion show for Miami Fashion Week at the Raleigh Hotel.

The tennis star, who lives in the sunshine state with boyfriend Enrique Iglesias, had a front row seat at the show, which gave her opportunity to ogle some hunky male models.

Earlier that day, Kournikova helped the St Louis Aces' tennis team beat the Springfield Lasers at the Dwight Davis Tennis Center in Forest Park, Missouri.

Although she has not officially retired, Kournikova has been largely missing from the international tennis scene since 2003 after injuring her back and foot.

Strike a pose: A curvier Anna poses before the fashion show

In recent years she has been devoting her energies to charity tennis matches, modelling and sport education.

Her super skinny appearance at a charity match several years ago hit the headlines and the tennis star was forced to defend her weight loss, insisting it was training to get back in the shape which had resulted in her tinier frame.

In a recent interview with Sports Illustrated magazine, Kournikova hit back at a series of press rumours regarding her romance with Iglesias and body shape.

She said: 'I’m not married, not pregnant, didn’t have a boob job, no Botox. What else?

'I’m a different person!. People say, "I can’t believe how much you’ve changed." What did they expect? People grow, evolve. It would be sad if I didn’t change!'
