No prizes for guessing who owns this car: Katie Price adds to her Barbie fleet with a pink Range Rover

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Adding to her fleet: Katie Price, pictured in Marbella with boyfriend Leandro and son Junior last week, has ordered a bright pink Range Rover


There is no mistaking who this Barbie-style car belongs to.

Katie Price is set to take delivery of a new Range Rover - decked out completely in her signature pink.

The 33-year old model and reality TV star is believed to have splashed out £100,000 on a luxury Vogue car - so it would match with her fleet of pink vehicles.


Barbie style: The £100,000 Range Rover Vogue has been customised by Project Khan in Bradford


Katie's collection already includes a pink VW Beetle, a candy pink scooter and a pink horsebox both of which are emblazoned with her famous silver glittery tiara stamp.

She also owns a white Range Rover.

The Barbie pink vehicle is hardly going to help Price remain incognito. She has complained in the past about being trailed by photographers.

She attracted backlash in February when police gave her a rolling road block on the A3, causing lengthy delays for other motorists.


Pink lady: Katie poses with a new customised scooter in March


Today the pink Range Rover was spotted being taken on a test drive outside vehicle company Project Kahn in Bradford West Yorks which customises luxury cars for a string of Premiership footballers. It will be delivered to Katie's house later.


One for the horses: Price also drives a matching horse box


A worker from Project Kahn said: 'Everyone was quite excited when we found out the car was for Katie Price.

'It's a top of the range Vogue with all the fittings and extras such as a satnav.

She bought the car and then it was brought to us to do everything to it.

'Everyone was pretty shocked at the colour when they saw it. Obviously we get asked to do all sorts of things to cars but we've never been asked to paint one this bright a pink before.

'Some people thought it was just a funny idea but some of the workers thought it was a silly thing to do, she'll get spotted straight away in that.


One for every day of the week: And finally, the reality star also owns a pink VW Beetle to complete the fleet


'She chose the colour herself, we made up loads of colour cards for her and that was the exact shade she picked.

'She's had bits of the interior changed, the pedals have been changed to aluminium and she's even had a diamond clock inserted.

'The exhaust was also altered, it's now aluminium and a bit louder but really that was just done for aesthetics so it looked nicer.

'We've dealt with a lot of celebrities wanting to personalise their cars but this was one of the funniest.'

Come on guys... be brave, says £20m singleton Emma Watson, 21

By LIZ THOMAS


Single: Emma Watson, who looked stunning in a green Marchesa dress at the MTV Movie Awards, says her fame intimidates men


With an enviable figure, a successful career and £20million in the bank, Emma Watson might expect to have would-be boyfriends queueing around the block.

Yet the 21-year-old Harry Potter star is currently unattached.

Miss Watson feels that many men are ‘intimidated’ by her.


Leggy lady: The 21-year-old actress showed off her enviable pins in the dress


And she gave them some simple advice: ‘Be brave.’

The elfin-faced Briton, who is busily promoting Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part II), the final instalment in the series, told an interviewer that men rarely pursue her.

‘It must be the fame wall. It must be the circus that goes around me.

‘Me, as a person, I find it hard to believe I would be intimidating.’

She also revealed how some men feel the need to be rude or dismissive simply because she is famous and successful.

‘Sometimes, perhaps because they are intimidated, they feel they have to knock me down,’ she told the Sunday Times Style magazine.


All white on the night: Earlier in the evening, Emma arrived on the red carpet wearing a short white dress, also by Marchesa


‘They know perfectly well who I am, but say, “How are the Narnia films going?”.’

Billed as the ‘darkest’ Potter film yet, Deathly Hallows II will premiere in London on July 7 and is expected to break box-office records when it is released in cinemas on July 15.

Miss Watson’s character Hermione Granger accompanies Harry on his last attempt to beat Lord Voldemort and his dark forces.

The actress has postponed her studies at Brown University in Rhode Island to focus on her career, and is currently filming The Perks Of Being A Wallflower.


On stage: Emma also treated fans to an exclusive clip from Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part 2



Former love: Emma with financier then-boyfriend Jay Barrymore back in 2008



Rock chick: Emma also appeared in a music video for then-boyfriend George Craig's band One Night Only

Tom Hanks surrounded by London's D-listers at his Larry Crowne premiere

By ANDREA MAGRATH

I'd rather chat to the baby: The Oscar-winner made friends with five-month-old Tyler Sercombe


He's a double Oscar-winner and has been at the top of Hollywood's A-list for over two decades.

But Tom Hanks found himself surrounded by reality stars and glamour models this evening at the supposedly glittering premiere for his new film Larry Crowne.

The actor looked a little bemused as he posed on the red carpet, probably wishing he had his co-star Julia Roberts by his side to add a little more star power to the event.

Roberts will undoubtedly show up to promote the film at the LA premiere on June 27, but she left Tom to go it alone at the screening at Westfield shopping centre in London today.


Who are these people? Tom Hanks looks a little bemused as he poses on the red carpet of his film premiere for Larry Crowne at Westfield


Tom will have had trouble recognising most of the attendees, with the exception perhaps of Ronnie Wood and David Hasselhoff, who both brought along their young girlfriends.

Other than the Rolling Stone, the Baywatch star and one Cherie Blair, the guests at the premiere were primarily made up of ITV2's finest.


Colourful: Nicola McLean chose to show off her cleavage at the event, Kerry Katona opted for legs, while Danielle Brown broke traditional style rules and showed both


Kerry Katona posed up with her fellow Can Associates clients Nicola McLean and Danielle Brown.

Kerry looked svelte in a her multi-coloured mini dress, which showed off her golden tan from her and Danielle's recent girls trip to Marbella.

Nicola wore a black jumpsuit with a plunging neckline that put her surgically enhanced decolletage on prominent display.


Reality stars: The Only Way Is Essex stars Sam Faiers (left) and Lydia Bright both attended



TOWIE night out: Sam posed with her boyfriend Joey Essex on the red carpet, while co-star Harry Derbidge also attended


Elen Rivas was more casual - and far more demure than Nicola - in black jeans and clogs with a T-shirt and tweed jacket.

Also attending the screening were stars of The Only Way Is Essex.

Lydia Bright wore a gold dress with sequinned embellishment and nude heels, while her co-star Sam Faiers wore a nude maxi skirt with a cropped leather jacket.


Someone Hanks might recognise: Ronnie Wood added some star power, attending with his girlfriend Ana Araujo


Sam and Lydia were joined by Sam's boyfriend Joey Essex and their co-star Herry Derbidge.

She tweeted from the screening: 'Was in the same cinema with calzaghe, ronnie woods, the hoff, Tom hanks, and many more! Great film. X x'

Joe Calzaghe and Kristina Rihanoff, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and KT Tunstall all attended.


Coupled up: David Hasselhoff and girlfriend Hayley Roberts and Joe Calzaghe and Kristina Rihanoff attended


Lovely ladies: (L-R) Leonora Crichlow went for head-to-toe black, Katie Waissel showed off a new 'do and Sophie Ellis Bextor wore a flirty love heart dress


Former X Factor contestant Katie Waissel debuted yet another new hairstyle, arriving with long curly blonde locks after wearing her hair in a short crop for several months.

Tom stars in the romantic comedy (which he also directed), about a man who loses his job and reinvents himself by returning to college.

There, he develops a crush on one of his teachers, played by Roberts. The pair last starred together in Charlie Wilson's War in 2007.

How to wear black: Miranda Kerr effortlessly outshines the A-listers in a sexy dress, slit to the thigh at CFDA gala

By CHRIS JOHNSON

Sexy style: Meanwhile Australian-born Victoria's Secret model Miranda Kerr also opted for black, but wore a design which looked sleek and stunning, showing off her curves and left leg with the garment split to the thigh


There may have been a kaleidoscope of colours at the CFDA Fashion Awards in New York tonight, but all eyes were firmly fixed on Miranda Kerr.

The stunning 28-year-old model managed to outshine a slew of A-listers in a stunning floor length black gown, sexily slit at the thigh.

She teamed the outfit, which came complete with cut out side panels, with a gold belt and gladiator-style gold cuffs, looking the epitome of Hollywood glamour.


Say cheese: Twilight star Ashley Greene stood out in pink as she posed with designer Michael Kors and Miranda


With her hair in a sleek chignon, the model at one point posed alongside designer Michael Kors and Twilight star Ashley Greene on the purple carpet.

Posing exactly five months after giving birth to son Flynn, Australian-born Kerr proved once again how genitally blessed she has been with her dress showing off her enviably toned figure.

Elsewhere, while she and Lady Gaga shared the same colour theme, the style and cut of the outfits could not have been any more contrasting.


All smiles: The Australian model looked stunning in a black number with cut out panels


The 25-year-old singer channelled a punk rock prom queen with a spiked corset style upper half, complete with sheer material across her décolletage, proving that the colour black could be just as eye-catching as they stole the limelight from the ladies in brighter colours.

The outfit was, unsurprisingly, short and the design flowed into a dramatic ruffled train, which the Born This Way singer teamed with a pair of 12inch platform heels.

With a turquoise wig, the fashion icon added a splash of colour to her otherwise monochrome look.


Colour blocking: Pregnant Jessica Alba wore a stand out purple and orange outfit, reminiscent of Cheryl cole's attire for the first day of the U.S. X Factor auditions before she was dropped from the show


Meanwhile, Jessica Alba went for a more brightly coloured look, in a brightly coloured orange top and a floor length purple skirt, which diverted attention from her growing baby bump.

The 30-year-old actress had clearly plumped for this season's 'colour blocking' trend, favoured by the likes of Cheryl Cole.

She paired her outfit with gold bracelets and glittery gold shoes, with oversize gold earrings.

Joining her were more sombrely dressed stars Shenae Grimes and actress Kirsten Dunst, with Dunst decked out in a black tuxedo and slim fitting trousers.


Suits you: 90210 star Shenae Grimes and actress Kirsten Dunst opted for trousered outfits rather than glamorous frocks


Grimes plumped for a more feminine black and white corset top and chunky black heels.

There were a good few ladies in red, with models Doutzen Kroes, Alessandra Ambrosio and Karlie Kloss all arriving in variants of bright scarlet, Kloss posing with designer Jason Wu.

Lady Gaga and Marc Jacobs are sure winners at Monday night's Council of Fashion Designers of America awards, already named this year's style icon and lifetime achievement winners.

Jacobs is up against fellow hipsters Alexander Wang, and Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough of Proenza Schouler in the top womenswear design category. Wang and the Proenza duo are also competing with Reed Krakoff as top accessories designer.

In the running for menswear are Michael Bastian, Patrik Ervell and Simon Spurr.


Ladies in red: Dutch-born Victoria's Secret model Doutzen Kroes, fellow Angel Alessandra Ambrosio and Karlie Kloss with designer Jason Wu


Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen are nominees for the emerging talent prize in womenswear, challenging Prabal Gurung and Joseph Altuzarra.

They arrived at the event in contrasting outfits, with Ashley opting for a pretty blue dress and Mary-Kate opting for a more striking brassy gold blazer over a black skirt.

A few of the A-listers opted for gold with Canadian actress and Entourage star Emmanuelle Chriqui wearing a bright yellow mini dress, actress Naomi Watts in light gold and British singer Estelle in a low cut darker gold gown.

Alexander Wang, Phillip Lim and Robert Geller have nods in the up-and-coming menswear designer category, and Alejandro Ingelmo, Eddie Borgo, Pamella Love and Jason Wu in accessories.


Double style: Ashley (L) and Mary-Kate Olsen (R) arrive in contrasting outfits with Ashley in a blue pastel gown and Mary-Kate wearing a brassy fold jacket and black skirt


The other big competition of the night? Which designer brings the highest-wattage celebrity date to the Lincoln Center.

In years past, Gwyneth Paltrow and Blake Lively showed up on the arm of Michael Kors, Eva Mendes and Scarlett Johansson with Francisco Costa, Rihanna with Max Azria, and Victoria Beckham with Jacobs.

Sofia Coppola is slated to give Jacobs his lifetime prize.

Nicole's got the Sex Factor: Scherzinger won't have any problems pulling in viewers as it's confirmed she IS replacing Cheryl Cole on U.S. show

By ANDREA MAGRATH

The Sex Factor: Nicole Scherzinger was pictured taking a dip in her hotel in France last week


The ongoing saga of the U.S. X Factor judging panel may finally be over.

Show bosses have announced that Nicole Scherzinger will indeed be replacing Cheryl Cole.

And the Pussycat Doll proved perhaps why she became a favourite of show bosses as she cooled off in a pool in France last week.

The 32-year-old stripped down to a white bikini and flimsy T-shirt to take a dip at her hotel in southern France before flying back to the UK.

Nicole filmed an appearance on the Graham Norton show today, but will be jetting off again soon to start her new role at the New Jersey auditions on Wednesday.

It emerged over the weekend that Cole had been invited to return to her role after being fired a fortnight ago, but the 27-year-old has snubbed the offer, leaving the Pussycat Doll free to take her place.


Finally confirmed: X Factor have announced that Nicole Scherzinger IS replacing Cheryl Cole on the judging panel


Fox, FremantleMedia North America and Syco TV released a statement this afternoon announcing the news.

It read: 'Nicole Scherzinger will be replacing Cheryl Cole on the judging panel of The X Factor.

'Nicole will join Simon Cowell, L.A. Reid and Paula Abdul on their search across America to find the next global superstar or group to win the life-changing $5million dollar recording deal.


The smile says it all: Nicole is in the UK where she was pictured at the ITV studios today ahead of flying back to the U.S. for X Factor auditions on Wednesday


'Nicole has previously joined Simon Cowell as a guest judge on The X Factor for the UK version of the show in 2010. Steve Jones will act as sole host of The X Factor.'

Show bosses did an unexpected U-turn when they offered Cheryl her job back on Saturday.

She was given 24 hours to decide, but after previously knocking back a consolation-style offer of returning to her old post on the UK version, Cheryl now appears to be severing ties with the franchise.


She's got talent: Nicole, pictured performing on Britain's Got Talent last week, will be joining Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul and L.A. Reid following Cheryl's departure


Show sources were quick to point out that an official comment had never been released confirming Mrs Cole’s axing – and that her picture and biography had been kept up on the Fox X Factor website.

But friends of the Girls Aloud star believe their silence is part of Fox executives' plan to wriggle out of paying Cheryl out - as they were banking on her not turning up to the next auditions on Wednesday, making her in breach of contract.

But the singer is thought to have threatened to make public emails and text messages that prove she was indeed fired, the Daily Mirror claim.


Thanks but no thanks: Cheryl turned down Fox's offer to return to the U.S. version

We're up here: Looking like ants in a giant rock garden, intrepid climbers become the first to scale uncharted 1,000ft structures in a land that time

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Making history: Two of the climbers ascend the 'Wine Bottle' rock for the first time in Chad's remote Ennedi desert after travelling hundreds of miles across desert


If you blinked, you might miss these two intrepid climbers, looking like ants in a giant rock garden.

But they made history by being the first mountaineers to ascend an awesome formation in a remote part of Chad.

Untouched by humans, this is the stunning desert home to the stacks, arches and 1,000 feet walls of rock that dominate the Ennedi Plateau - long regarded as the holy grail of the climbing community.

'It's fair to say we were like kids in a candy store', said climber and photographer Jimmy Chin. 'This was like finding a new continent for climbers, literally. I was stunned at the rugged nature of the landscape.'


Climbing: James Pearson is seen making the first ascent of the 'Citadel' formation in the Ennedi desert in Chad


He travelled last December with a crack team from his home in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, to the 20,000 square miles of virgin African climbing territory in central Chad that are reminiscent of Utah's Monument Valley.

Equipped with three trucks and provisions for three weeks, Jimmy, 38, and his team slept in the desert and braved armed bandits - just so they could make each climb there the first.

After flying 8,000 miles to the country, the team spent four days driving hundreds of miles across the desert on dirt roads to reach the remote and almost inaccessible Ennedi Plateau.

Occasionally, they would cross paths with nomadic camel troupes.


Is it much further? James Pearson climbing the Arch of Bishekele with the backdrop of the stunning Ennedi desert


'There was some element of a long shot about this, but you know if you go on a trip with Mark it is going to be difficult, it is going to pose problems, it is going to question you as a climber.'

Likening the journey into the wastelands of the plateau as like travelling back in time, Jimmy and the team came across the local people who spent their days hiding from the 38-degree heat in straw huts.

'Even in December the temperature was extreme,' said Jimmy. 'In summer the thermometer can exceed 47 degrees. '

Able to support themselves with petrol, food and shelter the adventurers were stunned when the open expanse of the desert exploded into the land that time forgot.

'Visually it was just like the canyon lands of Utah,' explained Jimmy.


Swinging time: An awesome shot of Alex Honnold and James Pearson rappelling off the Arch of Bishekele after climbing to the top


'We saw arches, stacks and walls that we knew had never been ascended before. This was a dream scenario, there was unlimited potential there.

'You are talking about 200ft high stacks, 1,000ft high walls, all there ready to be climbed.'

Faced with an enormous amount of choice, Jimmy and his team approached the Ennedi methodically. 'We decided to climb the 12 most impressive features we could see in the three weeks we had.

'We climbed the fabled Aloba Arch, which at 700ft tall and 300ft wide is the tallest free standing arch in the world.'

In the middle of their ground-breaking tour, the team faced off against possibly their greatest challenge - bandits.


Ready to rock: Crack climber Mark Synnott racking up gear for the ascent in the Ennedi desert which is located in a remote North African region of Chad


Jimmy said: 'At one point after a climb, all of us but James were confronted by a gang of four armed with ten-inch daggers.They were trying to edge us away from our cars, which were still some distance away.

'They were gesturing for our cameras and equipment, dressed in head scarves and they were extremely aggressive. James appeared on the scene off the side of one of the rock formations and I indicated to him to run back to the cars.

'I managed to document over 5,000 photographs during my time there and it was one of the pleasures of my life to be the first to explore such pristine and virgin climbing routes.'

Tat's too funny! Eva Mendes gets fake Twilight facial tattoo in hilarious Hangover sketch at MTV Movie Awards

By JODY THOMPSON

Tat's not a good look: Eva Mendes starred in a Hangover spoof with Jason Sudeikis top open the MTV Movie Awards last night


January Jones's ex boyfriend Jason Sudeikis opened last night's MTV Movie Awards with a hilarious sketch based on The Hangover sequel - which saw Eva Mendes get her face tattooed.

In the skit, Jason, 35, agrees to have a beer with The Hangover's Justin Bartha and Twilight star Taylor Lautner after a yoga session.

He first wakes up confused and finds he is sat on the wall of Osama Bin Laden's Pakistani hide-out.


Crazy scenes: Eva discovers what she's had done later in a flashback


Deep water: The spoof saw Jason Sudeikis waking up and finding Eva in his bath tub


However, he then wakes inside to find he's in a filthy hotel room with Eva in his bathtub - but no Lautner.

Eva meanwhile discovers she's got a 'Team Jacob Forever' tattoo on her cheek, referring to Lautner's Twilight character Jacob Black.

As she sees the facial decoration in the mirror, she screams: 'What the f***?! I'm Team Edward. I've always been Team Edward,' of course referring to Robert Pattinson's character Edward Cullen.



Fresh blood: In the skit, Eva is also seen pretending to bite off Twilight star Taylor Lautner's finger


Tasty: Eva, who has recently confessed that she can't cook, appears to get stuck in to a bit of tasty Taylor


Finger of suspicion: Jason, who hosted last night's MTV Movie Awards, later finds the discarded digit


Sudeikis then stumbles in on Black Swan's Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis getting passionate, finds James Franco trapped in a canyon from 127 Hours and chats to Justin Timberlake - as Sean Parker - in The Social Network over the phone.

He finally finds the Twilight hunk - missing a finger which Mendes has bitten off - making out with Kunis and Portman.

Meanwhile, The Other Guys star has revealed that she can't cook.

The star - who has been in a relationship with George Augusto for nine years - says she is so hopeless in the kitchen so relies on restaurant food and home deliveries to ensure she gets the nourishment she needs, when she's not biting off Taylor Lautner's fingers, that is.


Morning after: The actress jokes that the tattoo wouldn't be so bad if it said Team Edward


She admitted: 'I open the fridge and don't know how to get from point A to point B. I do want to start because I feel really pathetic - at a certain age you've got to learn how to provide for yourself.

'We get home delivery meals three times a week and we go out the rest of the time. It's so embarrassing.'

Eva is currently filming See If I Care alongside Matthew Modine and Patricia Arquette.

A comedy drama, it's due out next year.


In the pink: Eva wore a classy dusky pink evening gown to Spike TV's Guy Choice Awards on Saturday night


The MTV Movie Awards meanwhile were the usual mix of controversy and fun.

While there were no Brunos descending from the ceiling onto unsuspecting Eminems, Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis raised eyebrows when they groped each other's private parts onstage.

Robert Pattinson also landed a kiss on Taylor Lautner and shocked the audience by using the f-word.

The awards are on tonight at 9pm on MTV here in the UK.
