Baby bump: Model Miranda Kerr shows her baby bump for the first time in this video for her Kora organic skincare range


She married in secret and kept the happy news that she is expecting under wraps for as long as she could.

But now that she and husband Orlando Bloom have confirmed that the Victoria's Secret model is pregnant, Miranda Kerr has revealed her small bump for the first time.

In a video to promote her new organic skincare range Kora, 27-year-old Miranda's burgeoning baby bump is obvious while she practices yoga.

And while mere mortals would be quite pleased to have her figure even at four months pregnant, the slightly protruding stomach is an obvious change from her usual diminutive figure.

It appears that the Australian supermodel will be following in the footsteps of her former Victoria's Secret colleague Gisele Bundchen, and will maintain her enviable figure through her pregnancy.

Miranda speaks on her virtuous lifestyle in the video, Miranda Kerr's Organic Life with Kora, but manages to avoid the preaching tone that has irritated so many of Gisele's critics.


Early days: Kerr, who is four months along, shows the smallest hint of a bump, only obvious because of her tiny frame


Model behaviour: The devout Buddhist promotes healthy living by eating organically and practicing yoga. She undoubtedly will remain fit and healthy throughout her pregnancy


'Kora is about nurturing your core, your inner and outer self - your mind, your body and your spirit. Kora is a choice in how we live our lives,' she says.

'We can choose to fill our bodies with nutrients through eating organic foods. We can choose to value our bodies through exercise whether it be yoga, running or whatever appeals to you; By taking the time out to really relax and rejuvenate and reflect.

'I live in one of the busiest cities in the world and I'm travelling constantly, yes I've chosen to create my own organic lifestyle that no matter where I am I can apply this lifestyle.'

Both Miranda and Pirates of the Caribbean star Orlando embrace an eco-friendly lifestyle, with Miranda, who hails from country town Gunnedah, dreaming of a quiet life one day.


Organic life: The 27-year-old shows speaks about her healthy living lifestyle in the video


'Nurturing your core': The Australian model promotes the virtues of exercise and relaxation in the video


'My ideal situation would be to live on a farm in a solar-powered house with a hammock and a vegetable patch,' Miranda said in past interviews.

'When this is all over that's where I'll be.'

The couple married suddenly and in secret in a romantic, intimate ceremony in Anguilla last month, fuelling speculation that Miranda was pregnant. Their fans didn't have to wait long before the announcement came.

Orlando was beaming at a press event for his new movie The Three Musketeers earlier this month. 'I'm really excited about it, it's great,' he said.

But the actor, 33, will be forced to spend much of the pregnancy away from his new wife, as filming will be taking place in France and Germany.

'I'll go home as often as possible,' Bloom says. 'She'll come out here too.'


Changing body: The Victoria's Secret model is famous for her tiny frame and killer curves, and will undoubtedly bounce back quickly thanks to her healthy lifestyle

'My friends don't sell me out': Sandra Bullock reveals how she kept adoption of baby Louis secret

A survivor: Sandra talks to Matt Lauer on the Today Show about her amazing friends and little Louis


Sandra Bullock has revealed the close network of friends who helped her keep the adoption of her baby under wraps.

'It takes good people with integrity,' she said, describing her eight-month-old boy as her 'Little Cajun Cookie'.

'I remember, I read something like "How did someone keep a secret?” and it’s - human beings exist that have integrity, that know how to keep their mouth shut - that know the picture, that don’t sell out their friends.'

*** Scroll down for video ***


Stunning: Sandra looks better than ever on her first official TV interview since splitting with Jesse James

The Oscar-winning actress was giving her first official TV interview today since discovering husband Jesse James was cheating on her.

And she opened up about her feelings for the friends who helped her get through the difficult time.

She insists that if a friend ever betrayed her, she wouldn't hesitate to cut them out of her life.

'They know if they screw up they’re not coming on the next vacation, I’m not going to baby-sit their kids. I will cut them, I will take them down,' she told Today host Matt Lauer.


Feeling low? Sandra Bullock leaves a Starbucks in Austin on Sunday looking down and out


But the 46-year-old cut a somewhat lonely figure on Sunday as she left a local Starbucks

The actress was no doubt aware that ex-husband Jesse James had brought new girlfriend Kat Von D on a weekend trip to Austin, where both Sandra and Jesse live.

Seemingly putting her smiley disposition on ice, the American actress played it casual in turn-up denim shorts, flip flops and a striped top.

She was in New Orleans over the weekend to mark the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina and to see the progress made in the stricken city since the natural 2005 disaster.

However, her recent divorce from her cheating ex-husband Jesse James is surely not far from her mind - especially as he is flaunting his relationship in front of her.

James was also pictured yesterday in Austin, making no secret of his new relationship with LA Ink star Kat Von D as they strolled hand in hand down the street together.

Oscar-winning actress Bullock, 46, had visited the New Orleans high school that she helped rebuild for the opening of an on-campus health clinic.

Looking stylish in a fitted navy dress, towering peep-toe heels and sleek hair pulled to one side, the beaming star spoke of the 'unimaginable kindness, perseverance and hope' she had seen at Warren Easton Charter High School, which was swamped by the fierce storm.

Single mother: Sandra with her adopted baby Louis back in July in Austin, Texas


Bullock - who hugged staff and cracked jokes with reporters - has a special place in her heart for New Orleans.

Her adopted eight-month-old son Louis was born there and she has bought a home in the city so he can stay close to his roots.

In a sit-down interview with Matt Lauer, set to air on Tuesday on the Today show, she revealed she calls her son her 'little Cajun cookie'.

Reflecting on the 'long, long process' of officially adopting the baby Bullock added that the tot 'was always mine'.

'It wasn't like I felt someone was going to take him away. But it was nice to have someone say, "I think you're a fit parent,"' she added.

As for how she kept the adoption a secret, Bullock credits her friends and family who 'are filled [with] massive amounts of integrity' and who, even when things get bad, are 'still the same friends.'

Lights, camera, action: Justin Bieber performs onstage at Madison Square Gardens tonight where he was filming for a 3D concert movie


Teen heartthrob Justin Bieber was back on top tonight as he performed a high-energy sell out gig in New York.

The pint-sized popstar, 16, who cancelled a concert on Sunday due to illness, delighted a sell-out crowd at Madison Square Gardens.

Given that the event was being filmed for the Canadian star's 3D concert movie, the teen made sure his routines were particularly energetic, with lots of jumping, kicking and on-stage action.

He was joined on stage by a plethora of star guests, including Sean Kingston. His mentor Usher, Miley Cyrus, Ludacris and Jaden Smith are also thought to have took a turn before the screaming crowds.

Earlier in the day Justin, who made it big after becoming a YouTube sensation, tweeted: 'I’M FEELING GREAT!!! LET’S MAKE SOME HISTORY NYC!! MORE SURPRISES THAN EVER TONIGHT!!! THANK U ALL!! 2nite a dream becomes REAL!!'

And Jon Chu, who’s directing the filming of the movie, teased: 'You’re gonna love the show tonight… We got some tricks up our sleeves!! You’re gonna flip… Just sayin’. C u there!'


He's back: The Canadian heartthrob, who cancelled a gig on Sunday due to illness, lit up the stage in white jeans and jacket and purple trainers


Bieber fever: The crowd screamed and applauded as the pint-sized popstar entertained them


On Sunday Justin pulled out of a gig at the New York State Fair in Syracuse due to illness, rescheduling the performance for September 1.

He recently revealed he had been feeling ill, tweeting to fans on August 28: 'Been super sick lately but u guys are carrying me. thank u for the love.'

The following today he was forced to cancel his Sunday gig on doctor's orders. The show that Bieber would have played in Manchester, New Hampshire on September 1 has now been moved back three months to December 9.


Joining in the fun: Justin was watched by a series of celebrity guests including Miley Cyrus, right

Hobo chic: Drew Barrymore ditches the glamour for grunge

Hobo chic: Drew Barrymore dressed down as she arrives at LAX yesterday


With a new movie to promote, she has been pulling out all the stops to make herself look both glamorous and stylish in recent weeks.

But Drew Barrymore looked far from stunning as she arrived at LAX airport yesterday.

The 35-year-old actress seemed to be trying out a new 'hobo chic' image, with her floppy felt hat, baggy tie dyed T-shirt, knitted baggy cardigan and ripped jeans.

Hiding behind dark sunglasses, she didn't want to be recognised as she gripped a large cup of coffee.

The actress is no stranger to changing her look - she has sported brunette, blonde and red hair over the years and experimented with grungy styles.

'My style is totally eclectic. It depends on what mood I wake up in,' she said recently.

'Am I feeling retro 60s? Am I hippy chick from the 70? But I love floral patterns too - I'm actually a bit of a girlie girl.'


Under your hat: Barrymore's outfit was in stark contrast to her glamorous red carpet attire


And considering the star's tired looking posture yesterday, perhaps the last few week's busy lifestyle has taken its toll.

She has been promoting her latest romantic comedy Going The Distance in which she stars alongside ex-boyfriend Justin Long.


Stunning: The actress showed off her more glamorous side at the Hollywood premiere of new film Going the Distance last week


The film follows a couple who try to make a long distance relationship work between San Francisco and New York.

Barrymore had no problem working with her ex.

'I loved getting to do a film with someone that I do have a history with and we could bring a tremendous amount of honesty to it,' she said recently.

'We sort of saw that as a surreal opportunity and maybe it will feel a little more relatable too because it is kind of real.'

Fashion Foray: Kim and Koutney Kardashian model clothing from their new K-Dash line which will debut on shopping channel QVC September 10


The Kardashian sisters certainly know thing or two about fashion.

The girls are often on the list of best dressed and rarely put a foot wrong in the style stakes.

And now the three, along with their mother, Kris Jenner, are about to cash in on their fashion no-how, launching a range of clothing for popular TV shopping channel QVC


Keeping it real: The K-Dash line of clothing and accessories will range in price from $20 - $240


The Kardashian clan are joining forces with Ginny Hil to create a fashion clothing and accessories line called K-Dash by Kardashian.

The new line will include everything from belts and handbags to leggings, tunics and faux fur-trimmed vests.

And it's all very competitively priced, ranging from $20-$240.

K-Dash by Kardashian is set to debut on QVC as part of Fashion’s Night Out, live from New York’s Rockefeller Center on Friday, September 10th 9PM EST.


Fashion pros: Kim Kardashian and her mother Kris Jenner both looked amazing on the red carpet at the Emmy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday


The Kardashians have been very involved in the day to day creative process, working closely with Ginny Hilfiger, sister of Tommy Hilfiger, to articulate the styles as they envisioned them.

And who better to model the range than the gorgeous sisters themselves?

Kim and Kourtney showed off some of their new designs on the streets of Beverly Hills.

Kim wore the faux fur trimmed sweater vest with grey knit leggings before changing into the ponte red knit dress and faux leather motorcycle jacket.

New mom Kourtney opted for the leopard belted tunic and leather fringe cross-body bag for her first shot then changed it up into a bright blue sweater and black leggings.


Stylish sisters: Kim and Kourtney rarely put a foot wrong when it comes to their red carpet fashion choices


Kim couldn’t be more excited about their new range, saying: '[QVC] reaches a different audience than we’re used to. We always welcome that.'

Kourtney added, 'It’s a great way to interact. You get to put your opinions behind everything you do.'

The sisters already have a foot in the fashion industry with their two Dash clothing boutiques, based in Calabasas, California and Miami, Florida. They also sell the clothing on-line.


Fashionable family: Kim, Kourtney, Khloe and Kris have all been heavily involved in the creative process of their new line which they are designing with Ginny Hilfiger


Kourtney and Khloe are in charge of the active running of the stores on a day to day basis while Kim looks after public and media relations.

Dash sells clothing and accessories from a variety of celebrity brands. The hottest ones among the boutique’s regulars include Whitney Eve, Abbey Dawn, Miley Cyrus, La Rok, Mason, Naven and D’Amore, as well as swimwear from Beach Bunny, Vix and local label Alexis.

The store also carries Junk Food T-shirts and their own brand of scented candles and water bottles.

The boutique is currently developing its menswear collection and the recent buzz around the entertainment world is that the boutique will open another branch in New York.


Retail mecca: The Kardashian sisters own two hugely popular Dash stores, one in Calabasas, California and the other in Miami, Florida


The Kardashians run a huge, highly profitable business empire.

They have two mega-successful reality TV shows - Keeping Up With The Kardashians and spin-off show Kourtney And Khloe Take Miami, are paid thousands just to turn up on the red carpet at various events and endorse a range of diet supplements amongst other things.

But Kim is the stand-out business success of the Kardashian family.

Marketing experts estimate she is worth around $5.4million a year.

Kim endorses the Quick Trim Diet, work-out DVDs, Beach Bunny Swimwear and her own perfume range.

In addition her website kimkardashian.com pulls in more viewers than Vogue and is estimated to bring in around $600,000 a year in ad revenue.

Peace out: Hilary Duff wears a T-shirt with a message as she leaves her Pilates class in North Hollywood yesterday


As a newly married woman, it's clearly all about peace and love for actress Hilary Duff.

The former Disney star sported a sleeveless T-shirt with a peace sign emblazoned on it as she left a Pilates class near her home in North Hollywood yesterday.

The star chatted on her phone as she left the class looking particularly low key in baggy grey tracksuit bottoms and Ugg boots.

The 22-year-old star is clearly still glowing after her nuptials to hockey player Mike Comrie just a few weeks ago.

'The giddy feeling is still there,' she recently told OK! magazine.

'[It's like], "Oh my God, I just got married!"'

When asked if tying the knot has changed anything, the actress joked: 'I get to ask him to feed the dogs more often!'


Working out: Duff looked low key in a sleeveless T-shirt and grey tracksuit bottoms and Ugg boots


Duff and Comrie tied the knot in Santa Barbara in front of their closest friends and family.

The actress, who made her name as a teenager in Disney TV series Lizzie McGuire, wore a strapless Vera Wang dress, with her hair swept up into a bun, while Mike donned a traditional black Tom Ford tuxedo.

The happy couple then jetted off on a romantic honeymoon to Mexico.
