Courteney Cox showed off her stunning figure when she stripped off on the beach for her new TV show.

The former Friends star wore a revealing white bikini, as she filmed scenes for comedy series Cougar Town.

Looking younger than her 45 years, the actress' toned body turned heads as she splashed in the sea on the Will Rogers State Beach in Malibu, California.

After filming the revealing scenes modest Cox covered up her bikini body in a stripey towel.

She then changed into a red maxi dress to cuddle five-year-old daughter Coco, who was on set to watch her mum.

Cougar Town, which started in the U.S. last month, stars Cox as divorced single mother Jules Cobb.

The ABC sitcom sees Jules searching for love in a small Florida town, as she tries to get back into the dating scene.


Finding all single men her own age are 'broken, gay or chasing young girls', Jules decides to date younger men.

'Cougar' is an expression which refers to an older woman looking for a toyboy.

However, Cox is far from the stereotype of an unattractive, desperate woman.

Critics have given the series mixed review, with many questioning Cox's suitability as a 'cougar'.

However Cox has revealed that she prefers her new role to the character of Monica in Friends.

She told the LA Times: 'I hope this show is a huge hit and that people love it. Because I like playing this character more than any character I've ever played.

Bond girl Olga Kurylenko new Campari face for 2010 calendar

As a Bond girl, she's not easily shaken or stirred.

Which means Olga Kurylenko is perfectly unruffled about following in the footsteps of a host of Hollywood A-listers as the new face of Campari.

The 29-year-old Ukrainian actress has been chosen as the drink's latest calendar girl, taking on a role previously held by Jessica Alba, Salma Hayek and Eva Mendes to name but a few.

Toast of the town: Bond girl Olga Kurylenko will take over from Jessica Alba as the new Campari girl for 2010

Olga, who will take over in 2010 from Alba, this year's Campari Girl, shot the Italian brand's 11th calendar, dubbed Campari Milano, in Milan.

Her predecessors may be much better known but there is no doubting her model looks will live up to the brand's sophisticated image.

'Olga was a natural choice,' said Campari chief executive Bob Kunze-Concewitz.

'[She has] great charm, grace, elegance and sensuality that represents the perfect incarnation of the Campari brand.'

Temptation: Olga Kurylenko in the Campari calendar. She gained an international audience as Bond Girl Camille in Quantum of Solace

Airbrushed? Me? The 29-year-old actress looks like an animated computer character in this shot for the Campari 2010 calendar

In the retro-themed shoot, Olga, who came to international prominence as Camille in the most recent James Bond film Quantum of Solace, poses confidently clutching a bottle of Campari in an old train carriage.

Beautiful onlookers gawp at her through the windows.

In another, just like Jessica Alba's campaign, she looks airbrushed within an inch of her life in a black leather top and black trousers.

'It was a truly unique experience,' she said.

'I was delighted and intrigued by Campari’s proposal: to play the Campari woman and interpret the essence of Red Passion.'

In keeping with its experimental approach to the arts, Campari chose the young up-and-coming Italian photographer Simone Nervi to immortalise Kurylenko.

The drinks are on me: Olga, who stars in Campari's 11th calendar shot in Milan, said: 'It was a truly unique experience.


It takes two to tango: Olga, here for Campari, appeared naked for the Ukranian edition of lads magazine Maxim

Blake Lively in new film The Private Lives Of Pippa Lee

Blake Lively may play a wildchild in Gossip Girl, but even her character Serena Van Der Woodsen would baulk at some of these raunchy scenes.

In stills released from her little seen film, The Private Lives of Pippa Lee, the 22-year-old actress plays troubled teenager Pippa, who runs away from home and is introduced to a world of bondage and drugs by her lesbian aunt.

Pippa ends up acting in lesbian bondage films and developing a taste for drugs before she is rescued by the much older publisher Herb Lee, played by Alan Arkin.
Spanks for the memories: Blake Lively meets a dominatrix in new film The Private Lives Of Pippa Lee

The film is directed by Daniel Day Lewis's wife Rebecca Miller, who also wrote the book the movie is adapted from.

While most of the film centres on the 50-year-old Pippa Lee, played by Robin Wright Penn, Blake stars as the younger Pippa in the flashback scenes.

The elder Pippa is the epitome of a perfect wife and mother and finds her life unravelling when she moves with her husband to a retirement community.

She finds herself drawn to handsome neighbour Chris, played by Keanu Reeves.

Her friends have no idea of Pippa's crazy teen years and her tumultuous childhood.

The young Pippa runs away from home after finally tiring of violent clashes with her bipolar mother Suky (Maria Bello) and her pastor father Des (Tim Guinee).

Seeking refuge with her aunt, she is stunned to find out she is a lesbian in a relationship with a dominatrix named Kit (Julianne Moore).

Kit is thrilled to meet the fresh-faced Pippa and soon casts the confused teen in her depraved S&M movies.

In one scene, Blake strips down to her retro underwear and is spanked on the backside by a severe-looking dominatrix dressed in black.

In another sequence, Blake ends up in a dog collar with a chain and is controlled by her two 'captors'.

But after turning to drugs, she finds her salvation in protective Herb, who falls for the vulnerable young woman.

The Private Lives Of Pippa Lee was first screened at the Berlin International Film Festival in February and was well received by critics.

It had a limited run in British cinemas in July, taking £108,160 in the box office.

The film is released on DVD in the UK on November 2 and has a limited run in US cinemas from November 27.

Melinda Messenger strips off for lingerie brand

Melinda Messenger proved she still has the curves that propelled her to fame, as she showcased the new Ultimo lingerie designs for bigger busted women.

The 38-year-old became famous back in the 90s when an advert showing her in her underwear was banned.

The controversy helped Melinda launch a successful career as a page three girl.

Earning their keep: Since having her breasts surgically enhanced Melinda Messenger hasn't looked back - and she's still working at 37

Face of Ultimo: Melinda represents the brand's range for bigger busted women

Twelve years later Melinda's surgically enhanced 34DD breasts are still earning their keep.

Melinda has been the face of Ultimo's D to G collection for more than a year. And she is currently hosting Five's Live From Studio Five show.

But her svelte figure doesn't come with out work. Melinda says it is thanks to the help of a natural diet pill - LIPObind, which she took after she put on 21lbs following the birth of her youngest child.

‘I was going to pose in my underwear for the first time in eight years! I suddenly thought 'Oh my God - I've got three kids and now I've got to take my clothes off!’,' she said.

Red lady: Melinda, a mother-of-three, says she would support her daughter if she followed her into modelling

The mother-of-three also says she would support her daughter Evie if she chose to follow in her footsteps.

'There are plenty of people who will pull you down and attack you – but that’s not what life’s about. It’s about following your heart,' she told the Metro.

'If she feels compelled to be a model, then I’m behind her, but she’s only five. She said she wanted to work in a library, then the next day she wanted to be like Madonna.'

Melinda's own mother denounced her when she launched her glamour model career. The two were only reconciled after the birth of Melinda's first child.

Looking good: Melinda says she would no longer go topless

serena williams posses nude for ESPN magazine

Serena Williams certainly served up a surprise on the cover of America's ESPN magazine.

The tennis champion peeled off her usual sportswear to appear completely naked on the cover of the publication's 'Body Issue'.

The 28-year-old looks a picture of confidence while wearing nothing but a smile, her modesty saved only by some very strategic posing.

Naked ambition: Serena Williams on the cover of America's ESPN magazine

But the athlete has previously admitted she struggles to accept her body shape.

'My thighs... I think they're too big,' she has said. 'And also my arms. I think they're too muscular. They're too thick.

'Sometimes I look at myself in the mirror and am, like, I want to lose my inner thigh. I've got to do an hour of cardio today, or whatever. I try not to do it, but the insecurity comes back sometimes.

'I want women to know that it's okay. You can be whatever size you are, and you can be beautiful both inside and out.'

Back on top: The tennis champion is ranked No. 1 again after today's victory at the China Open in Beijing

The release of the magazine in the US marks a triumphant day for Serena.

She is now back on top of the rankings after a 6-3, 6-2 victory over Ekaterina Makarova in the second round of the China Open in Beijing.

But her journey back to glory has not been without controversy - last month she made a furious outburst against a line judge at the US Open.

TV viewers around the world saw the player launched a threatening, profanity-laced tirade at a female line judge after being called for a foot fault.

'If I could, I would take this ******* ball and shove it down your ******* throat,' she reportedly said.

She was fined $10,000, which is around £6,000, and later apologised for the incident.

Halle Berry adopts a smouldering pose for her new perfume

Halle Berry wades through the surf in a cotton dress verging on transparent and relaxes in a revealing crochet dress looking every inch the alluring star.

She knows how to play a role - and when it comes to launching your own brand of perfume - that has to be nothing short of stunningly sexy and available.

The 42-year-old becomes the latest in a long line of celebs to promote their own line of fragrance - but hers has taken more work than most.

Beauty on board: Halle Berry adopts a smouldering pose for her new perfume

She has spent two years coming up with the scent, a woody smell and image are meant to evoke memories of the beach.

Halle told the WWDBeauty website: ‘(Before my fragrance) I was mixing other brands that shall remain nameless to make my own scent with fig and mimosa.

‘With Halle, I added olibanum, which is an African root, which brings spice to the fragrance, and sandalwood, which smoothes everything out and makes it yummy.

‘It’s very sensual, very natural, very much reflective of the outdoors.’

The perfume, which contains olibanum and mimosa, was two years in the making

The top notes of the scent are Sicilian bergamot, fig leaves and pear blossom. It also contains notes from freesia petals, hibiscus flowers and mimosa.

In between making perfumes and movies, Hall has been caring for her 11-month-old daughter Nahla with her Canadian model boyfriend Gabriel Aubry.

Meanwhile, Halle has topped a poll of the most stylish Oscar looks of all time.

Halle wore a burgundy Elie Saab dress with sheer top and floral patchwork to the 2003 Oscars, where she picked up the Best Actress trophy for Monster's Ball.

Her win made history as Halle became the first African-American woman to win the accolade.

Coming close behind Halle in the Galaxy Minstrels poll, was Keira Knightley's 2006 Vera Wang outfit, and Heidi Klum's 2008 Galliano dress.

A few days earlier they were playing barefoot in the festering slums they call home.

But for 24 hours, Rubina Ali and Azharuddin Mohammed Ismail were transported to a fairytale world.

The youngsters, the only reallife slumdwellers among the child stars of Slumdog Millionaire, were guests of honour at the Oscars.

Ten-year-old Azharuddin, who plays a young version of the lead character's brother Salim, and Rubina, nine, who plays the young heroine Letika, were dressed in brand new outfits and had their hair cut for the occasion.

Initially shy, they linked arms with fellow child actor Ayush Mahesh Khedekar, and walked hesitantly down the red carpet.

Just a few hours later Slumdog Millionaire was the toast of the Academy Awards, and the children stormed on stage punching the air to celebrate.

At one point Azharuddin played with Danny Boyle's best director Oscar, balancing it on his head.

The children were cast in the film in the hope they would reflect the vitality of the slumdwellers. There was an outcry after they returned to their lives of extreme poverty after filming.

However Boyle and the film's producer Christian Colson have insisted they have been generously provided for.

Slumdog Millionaire's Dev and Freida said to be dating off-screen too

Slumdog Millionaire on-screen lovers Dev Patel and Freida Pinto have been spotted shopping for a ring, fuelling speculation the pair are romantically involved.

The couple were seen browsing the selection in the Oxford Street branch of a High Street jeweller's on Valentine's Day.

Earlier this week co-star Anil Kapoor, claimed the pair are an item in real life as well as on the big screen.

An onlooker who saw the pair in H.Samuel's told The Sun: 'Dev and Frieda seemed completely smitten with each other.

'They spent 15 minutes in the jeweller's and were quite happy to sign autographs and talk to fans.

'They paid particular attention to one of the cabinets which was full of the more expensive rings stocked by the store chain.

'They didn't buy anything in the end, but they certainly spent plenty of time studying the range.'

The two young stars are said to have grown close while promoting the film - a favourite for the Oscars this weekend - around the world.

Indian actor Kapur said of the couple's relationship: 'I think this is the beginning of something exciting.

'They definitely make a great pair and look very good together.'

Patel, 18, from Harrow, has already bagged a clutch of awards for his role as Jamal in the film. Ex-model Pinto, 24, plays his sweetheart Latika.

Kapoor reportedly made his remarks on a U.S. radio station where he referred to their 'magical chemistry'.

Presenter Ryan Seacrest asked the actor: 'Dev and Freida...is there any action going on behind the scene there?'

Kapoor answered: 'As a matter of fact, when I meet them I feel there is something happening.'

Patel first met Pinto during an audition for Slumdog Millionaire. Later she offered to take him around Mumbai and the two hit off very well.

The two debutantes are riding high on the unmatched success of their first gig.

After sweeping all major awards this season the duo now awaits the Oscars night on Sunday where the film has garnered whopping 10 nominations.

Last night the pair were both in Los Angeles at separate pre-Oscar parties. Pinto looked stunning in a two-tone gold and yellow dress while Patel cut a dash in black trousers and a grey button-up top.

According to friends, Pinto finished with her fiancé, Mumbai PR agent Rohan Antao, last month saying she could not be with him and be a world-renowned actress at the same time.

During her meteoric rise to stardom, she had kept Rohan a secret from the media.

Sources say that Rohan is 'devastated' at losing the girl he thought he was marrying.
