Diana's diamonds: William gives Kate his mother's favourite earrings

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Favourite: Kate wore the remodelled earrings on tour in Canada and Diana was regularly spotted wearing the jewellery

Prince William has given a pair of his mother's earrings to new wife Kate.

The Duchess of Cambridge wore the diamond and sapphire gems during the couple's official visit to Canada and America.

Kate, 29, had Diana's heavy studs remodelled into drop earrings and wore them for the first time when she watched Andy Murray from the Royal Box at Wimbledon last month.

The earrings were thought to be among Diana's most precious jewels and she was spotted wearing them at dozens of events during the 1980s and 1990s.


Comparisons: From the Duchess' wedding day commentators were already comparing the couple to Princess Diana and Prince Charles


A courtier told the Sunday Mirror: 'Now they're married William wanted her to have some of his mother's favourite pieces.'

It is not the first time the Duchess' style has been compared with the late Princess Diana's.


Kate wore a similar outfit to that of Princess Diana when she visited Canada by donning a maple leaf hat.


Both sported red hats with white dresses during their official visits but Princess Diana made a slightly bolder statement by wearing a matching red scarf.

Crowds across the globe were eager to make comparisons as Diana and Charles made a similar tour in 1983.


The People's Princess: Diana devoted her time to charity work..


Princess Diana was the main attraction with thousands of people waved flags and shouted the slogan 'We Want Di'.

And Prince William's new wife was also a real crowd pleaser and her wardrobe had been one of the main topics of discussion.

The couple are currently deciding on a permanent London base, and are tipped to take Apartment 1a in Kensington Palace, a lavish 19-room suite that was once the home of the late Princess Margaret.



And Kate was seen to be equally interested in speaking to people on the official Canada tour, doing impromptu walkabouts


It was reported the couple also considered Apartments 8 and 9, the former marital home of Charles and Diana where William grew up, but Kate is said to have been uncomfortable with the idea.

'They have been to look around Margaret's apartment and like it very much,' said a source.

Just the two of us: Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt leave their brood at home as they head out for a romantic lunch in London

By JESSICA SATHERLEY

Just the two of us: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were spotted enjoying a romantic lunch together without the company of their children at London's Dorchester Hotel

They are in the UK with their six children while Brad Pitt works on his new movie World War Z.

But, after spending some time with their ever-expanding brood, Brad and partner Angelina Jolie decided to leave the kids at their rented London home so they could enjoy a romantic lunch together at London's Dorchester Hotel.

While Brad looked smart in a pair of beige trousers and white shirt, Angelina went for a classic look in her white long-sleeved T-shirt, taupe pencil skirt and beige Lanvin patent espadrille wedges.


Quick entrance: The pair made a dash into the famous hotel where they enjoyed a meal together


Despite the fact the pair have both been spotted out and about in London separately over the past few weeks, it's the first time they have been seen together since late June.

And while Brad works hard on his new movie, adapted from the novel by Max Brooks, Angelina has certainly been enjoying keeping herself and her brood busy.

This morning, Angelina braved the unseasonably cool morning to take her three-year-old daughter Vivienne to Streets Florist in Richmond.

The 36-year-old sneaked into the shop all in black and hid under her oversized aviator sunglasses as she carried her Louis Vuitton bag and held onto Vivienne’s hand.


Low profile: Earlier in the day, Angelina was spotted trying to go incognito in a florist shop in Richmond in an all black ensemble and oversized sunglasses


But despite trying to blend in and subtly pick out some flowers, the florist shop owner and fellow onlookers were shocked at the famous customer.

Shop owner Mark Nunez told MailOnline: ‘She bought calillies, roses and thistles and altogether bought two bunches of flowers, a gift bag and some gift cards.

'Everyone in the shop was pretty shocked when she walked in but she didn’t say anything about who the flowers were for.’


Shocked onlookers: Local residents in Richmond weren't expecting Hollywood star Angelina Jolie to stroll into the florist


Angelina held one bunch and Vivienne held the other as they soon left Streets and headed back to their car.

The Tourist star is currently in the capital with her brood including Vivienne’s twin brother Knox, Maddox, nine, Pax, seven, Zahara, six, and Shiloh, five.

The day before, she had taken her children to a cinema in Richmond for a private screening of the new Harry Potter film.

She was again wearing a signature black ensemble and shades, alongside her classic Louis Vuitton bag.


Gift pack: Angelina didn't say who the flowers were for but she bought two bunches and a pack of gift cards from the shop


The film, which is rated PG-13, is said to contain some sequences of intense action violence and frightening images.

Yet care-free parent Angelina still took the whole family to watch the action-packed film.

As the family left the theatre after watching the movie a small crowd gathered and local police came to their assistance at they piled into a waiting mini-van.

Pax, nine, couldn't help but show his cheeky side, sticking his tongue out at the onlookers while wrestling with his older brother Maddox as they climbed into the car.

Angelina and the children flew into London from Los Angeles airport on Thursday and had previously also flown to Malta while Brad was filming scenes there.

Amy Winehouse Found Dead In London Home

A very, very sad day for music fans. Amy Winehouse, a singer who was as tortured as she was talented, was found dead by London police in her home Saturday. She was 27 years old.

"Everyone who was involved with Amy is shocked and devastated. Our thoughts are with her family and friends," said Chris Goodman, a spokesman for her publicity representatives. He said her family will issue a statement when they are ready.



The British singer's record label, Universal, confirmed her death on Saturday.


"We are deeply saddened at the sudden loss of such a gifted musician, artist and performer," the statement read. "Our prayers go out to Amy's family, friends and fans at this difficult time."


Singer and actress Kelly Osbourne, who helped Winehouse check into a drug addiction treatment facility in 2008, was one of many who grieved for the singer on Twitter.


"I cant even breath right now im crying so hard i just lost 1 of my best friends. i love you forever Amy and will never forget the real you!" she tweeted.


Personally, I loved Winehouse's music, from the light jazz of Frank to the 50's/60's soul revival that was Back To Black. Besides her obvious vocal talents, her lyrics managed to gut-wrenching, witty, sarcastic and vulnerable all at once. But honestly I am also not surprised at this news, as Winehouse seemed to struggle with severe drug addiction from the moment she became famous. It's so sad that we won't be able to get anymore amazing music from her, because I believe she had at least a few more great albums in her if she could've conquered her demons. I guess we'll never know. Rest in peace Amy. Watch and/or listen to a few of my favorite Amy Winehouse songs/live performances below.

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Curvy: Kim Kardashian poured her famous figure into a green mini dress today to attend a Midori party

Her highly anticipated bachelorette party is being held in Las Vegas tomorrow night.

But Kim Kardashian doesn't appear worried about getting plenty of rest ahead of her big night.

The reality star was pictured all dressed up for another party today, pouring her curves into a tiny green mini dress as she left her Beverly Hills home for a Midori party.


Famous figure: The 30-year-old has been upping her workout routines ahead of her August 20 wedding

Kim is an ambassador for the alcohol brand, and is attending a party for the company today in Los Angeles.

The 30-year-old showed off her famous figure in the revealing frock, which she paired with matching nude belt, heels and clutch bag.

Kim has lightened her hair recently, and her new reddish hue shone in the sunlight.


Pre-wedding party: Tomorrow night Kim will fly to Vegas for her bachelorette party


She asked her fans on Twitter for make-up advice as she prepared for the event earlier today, tweeting: 'Glamming up with @MakeupByMario for a fun Midori
party...is it too much to do green make up? or should we do bronze smokey?'

It is likely Kim, who is not a big drinker, will be having a tame night despite the alcohol brand playing host.

She has said that she is nervous ahead of her send-off from single life in Sin City tomorrow night.


Scared: the reality star has admitted she is nervous about what her sisters have in store for her


She and fiancé Kris are both partying in Vegas tomorrow night, but are being kept away from each other by their friends.

Kris will be celebrating with his buddies at Lavo in The Palazzo, while Kim will be surrounded by sister Khloe and Kourtney and best friends Lala Vasquez and Brittny Gastineau at Tao in The Venetian hotel.

The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star has voiced her fear over what lies in store for her this weekend.

She told People magazine: ‘I'm not really into all the typical things, so I'm hoping that's not the case.

Inside the Kardashian family album: Kim shares happy snaps from Disneyland trip

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Happiest people on earth! The Kardashian clan, including Kylie, Kendall, Kim, Rob and Kourtney, along with her husband Scott Disick and their little son Mason took a trip to Disneyland last week

Kim Kardashian has been frantically planning her forthcoming wedding to Kris Humphries.

So the reality TV star took time out for some bonding with the Kardashian clan - and what better place to do it than the happiest place on earth?

The entire family descended on the popular theme park Disneyland last Tuesday and today shared their happy family snaps.



All smiles: Kim and Kendall put their perfect smiles on for the camera, while the boys, Scott and Rob, throw up hand signals behind them


Escorted by security and a tour guide, Kim and her sisters Kourtney, Kendall and Kyle, mother Kris Jenner, brother Rob, and Kourtney's husband Scott enjoyed a VIP tour of the park.

The family even took along Kourtney and Scott's one-year-old son Mason, who experienced his first ever trip to the theme park.

Family-orientated Kim excitedly blogged to her fans about the adventure.


Fantasia: The group also posed with Mickey Mouse, but according to Kim, little Mason got scared of the big-eared cartoon character


'We went to Disneyland last week, and we honestly hadn’t been in years!,' she wrote. 'It was Mason’s first time! He had such a great time.

'He was so scared to meet Minnie and Mickey and would only high five them! No hugs or kisses, LOL!

Avoiding the thrills and spills of the high-speed rollercosters and rides on offer, the group made sure to stick to more-children orientated rides to accommodate for the tiny tot.


Tears: Mason needs a cuddle from his mother after becoming afraid of the cartoon characters


'We went on It’s a Small World, Peter Pan’s Flight, Dumbo and so many fun rides! He was a little afraid of the Roger Rabbit Car Toon,' Kim continued.

Ditching her faithful high heels for some comfortable flat sandals, Kim went casual but cute for the occasion in a black and white printed romper.

Meanwhile all her sisters opted for denim mini-shorts, with Kourtney slipping into tiny black cut-offs and Kendall and Kylie wearing near matching light blue varieties paired with similar midriff baring vests.


Afternoon nap: Midway through the trip, a tiered out Mason took a little nap in his stroller, his tiny eyes shaded by the sunlight with some adorable Mickey-eared sunglasses


The snap happy family took numerous pictures of their day out including posed shot with Minnie and Mickey Mouse.

Seems like only yesterday, dear: The Queen and Duchess of Cambridge relive glorious royal wedding day with private viewing of THAT dress

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Admiration: The Queen talks with the Duchess of Cambridge as they view the wedding dress the Duchess wore during her April marriage to Prince William

The Queen today enjoyed a private viewing of the Duchess of Cambridge’s stunning wedding gown with Kate ahead of a public showing of the dress at Buckingham Palace.

More than half a million people are expected to view the dress as part of the Palace’s annual summer exhibition this year, but her Majesty was give her own tour by the Duchess.

The pair chatted as they admired the £250,000 Alexander McQueen dress which had the world enthralled when Kate married Prince William in April.


Viewing: The Duchess of Cambridge arrives at Buckingham Palace with Her Majesty, The Queen, to see the wedding dress and cake before both go on public display


Amid the pomp and splendour of a truly unforgettable day, The Dress was undoubtedly the star of the show.

But the ghost-like appearance of the headless mannequin used to exhibit the gown prompted her to describe it as 'horrible' during a private tour with Kate of a new Buckingham Palace exhibition.

The Queen and the Duchess were given a sneak preview of the exhibition, which opens to the public tomorrow.


One is spooked: The Queen was heard to describe the headless mannequin as 'horrible'


The monarch led the way and, with her hands clasped behind her back, strode into the Ballroom and stopped about 10 feet from the dress with Kate standing beside her.

As the pair chatted, the pitch of the Queen's voice raised and she said 'horrible' and then 'horrid'.

It appeared the mannequin's lack of a head may have perturbed the Queen, who added: 'It's made to look very creepy.'

Kate countered with her own view and said it had a '3D effect'.


Exhibition: The monarch, her hands clasped behind her back, led the way as she and Kate toured the displays in Buckingham Palace


And just like the most gracious stars, the Duchess of Cambridge’s stunning wedding gown is returning for an encore.

Those of us who admired it from the comfort of our sofas at home, can now see the Alexander McQueen dress right up close – if we can get our hands on what is rapidly becoming the hottest ticket in town.

The dress is to take pride of place at Buckingham Palace’s annual summer exhibition this year, ensuring we can bask in the afterglow of Kate and William’s wedding day just that little bit longer.

Are Kate and Wills planning a family? Couple save top tier of wedding cake for christening of first child

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

The Royal wedding cake is now on display at Buckingham Palace, with the top three tiers recreated after the Royal couple saved two and guests ate the third

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge could have been thinking about having children as early as their wedding day, it emerged.

The couple decided to save the top tier of their magnificent eight-tiered wedding cake - a tradition usually undertaken by couples who plan to serve the cake at the christening of their first born.

The pair put the top two tiers of the cake away and tucked into the third as they celebrated their marriage with friends and family, royal wedding cake designer Fiona Cairns said.


The couple cut the fruit cake, made of 17 individual cakes, with a sword


Ms Cairns said: 'As is tradition, the Duke and Duchess have kept the top two tiers. The third tier was cut up and served at the wedding together with the extra fruit cake we supplied.'

Miranda Eason, editor of You & Your Wedding magazine, added: 'Saving the top tier to celebrate the birth of the first born is the tradition.

'But couples are also saving it for their first anniversary to crack open with a bottle of bubbly.'



The bride gave detailed instructions for the cake to include 17 different blooms and foliage for their meaning or symbolism

The confectionery masterpiece, covered in cream and white icing and decorated with up to 900 delicate sugar-paste flowers, is going on display at Buckingham Palace as part of an exhibition dedicated to the royal nuptials.

It's a hard life: Tamara Ecclestone gets helicopter to shops from daddy's yacht in Monaco whilst on holiday with Petra

By JODY THOMPSON

Clunk click: Tamara Ecclestone straps herself in to get a lift in a helicopter from the yacht where she's staying in Monaco to the shore

Billionaire heiress Tamara Ecclestone took relaxation to a sky-high new level on holiday yesterday - she saved her legs from a tiring walk to the designer stores by getting a HELICOPTER to nip to the shops.

Tamara caught a Heli Air Monaco flight whilst relaxing with her sister Petra on their Formula 1 boss father's luxury yacht moored off the coast of Monaco.

At least the previously bikini-clad Tamara covered up - a bit at least - for her spot of retail therapy, pulling on a pair of tiny denim cut-off shorts, pink vest and cuffed sandals.


Up and away: The heiress can afford to avoid public transport or a dodgy dinghy to go shopping


However, while most mere mortals put up with a canvas beach bag that smells vaguely of mouldy towels on our summer hols, Tam was proudly sporting an expensive cream designer handbag.

Perhaps she was popping out on her own to buy a last-minute minute wedding present for her sister, who's walking down the aisle in a few weeks.

They've been joined by their boyfriends on their summer break and have been hard at work deepening their already teak-coloured tans on deck.


Back on dry land: Tamara may have been taking advantage of Monaco's designer stores to buy a last-minute wedding gift for sister Petra


Earlier, Tamara was seen basking in a tiny silver and white tie-sided bikini, while Petra had plumped for a top piece with a pale blue top and multi-coloured bottoms.

At one point, they both grabbed bottles of water from the on-board ice bucket, having worked up a thirst while sat round the on-deck pool on the boat, called Force One.

Petra is making sure that her tan is in ship shape for her wedding next month - and it appears that Tamara may be following in her younger sister's lead.


Luxury stay: The pair are staying on their Formula 1 boss father's superyacht


She appeared to be accessorising her swimsuit with a earlier in the week with a huge sparkler on her ring finger.

Younger sibling Petra, 22, is engaged to her beau of four years businessman James Stunt and the pair are walking down the aisle in a few weeks.

Tamara, 27, is currently dating Omar Khyami a 37-year-old stockbroker.

Little Shiloh puts her mother Angelina Jolie in the shade with her cool sunglasses

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Shady ladies: Angelina Jolie, Shiloh and Zahara were spotted at Los Angeles airport yesterday

As one of Hollywood's brightest stars, it is hard to outshine Angelina Jolie.

But her daughter Shiloh managed to do just that at Los Angeles airport yesterday.

The five-year-old looked like a little superstar in the making as she styled out a pair of shutter shades - made famous by Kayne West - while walking through the airport with the actress.

Her sister Zahara, six, had a pair of bright white glasses of her own, but opted to carry them in her hand.



Star in the making? Shiloh looked rather chuffed with her green shutter shades


It is clear that Angelina and partner Brad Pitt encourage their daughters to discover their own personal styles.

The couple's first natural-born daughter wore her standard boyish garb of a grey tracksuit while Zahara looked adorable in a floaty white top and jeans.

Shiloh clutched a Pokémon toy and her favourite blue security blanket and Zahara had two dolls in tow.

The trio - as well as bodyguards and a flannel shirt clad nanny - were flying out of Los Angeles after just a brief stay in the city.

They have spent much of the past few months in Malta while Brad films his latest movie, World War Z.


Carry on: Zahara opted not to wear her white sunglasses


In keeping up with her daughters, the 36-year-old actress wore a classic pair of aviator sunglasses.

The Tourist star also wore a chic, all black pants ensemble and nude pumps while carrying a large Louis Vuitton tote bag.

Of course, it is no surprise the star was carrying the designer luggage - she recently starred in a Louis Vuitton 'Core values' ad campaign which she shot in Cambodia.

The ads are set to run for 18 months and will feature other celebrity humanitarians like Bono and his wife Ali Hewson, the founder of fashion line EDUN.
