She may only be five-years-old – but Harper Beckham is already bagging some of the hottest gig tickets in town. 

Attending the Justin Bieber concert at London's O2 Arena on Friday – her dotting dad, David, captured the ADORABLE moment she was caught up in the magic of the music. 

Posting a short video to Instagram, little Harper can be seen waving a mobile phone in the air as she sways to Life Is Worth Living – evidently a tune she knows inside out.

She is wearing a pretty white dress, while her super long hair is tied back in her trade-mark plaits. 

Even her older brothers – Brooklyn, 17, Romeo, 13, and Cruz, 11 – came along for the concert; with the Beckham clan sitting in one of the arena's private boxes. Cruz is also said to be a big Justin Bieber fan and no doubt was delighted to attend too. 

Mum Victoria sadly couldn't make it as she is busy with Fashion Week responsibilities.

Their short-lived marriage barely limped on for 18months, but the subsequent divorce of Jean Bernard Fernandez Versini and Chery Cole has been in the offing for close-to a year.

However, it has now been revealed that the former X Factor judge and her estranged businessman spouse will be granted a divorce in a London court on Thursday.

Neither party will be required to appear in person.

It is believed that Jean Bernard – affectionately known as JB to his friends – will not receive a financial settlement as part of the split. 

A source told The Sun: "This has been the result of months of negotiations, but Cheryl and JB reached an agreement two months ago. And there has been no financial settlement… JB is not going to be paid any money by Cheryl."

In light of her relationship with One Direction star Liam Payne, 23, Cheryl has been eager to get her divorce finalised as soon as possible. 

Several photographs of the popstar suggest that she is pregnant with her first child – another motivating factor in bringing her second marriage to an end before the year is out.

It is not know how far into her pregnancy the 33-year-old is, but some sources have told tabloid publications that she is already nearing the six-month mark.

With Kimberley Walsh adding fuel to the pregnancy fire by stating that her BFF will make a brilliant mum, Cheryl Cole and her beau Liam Payne headed out for sushi in London last night. 

Unsurprisingly, the former X Factor judge's appearance sparked oodles of commentary on the supposed impending arrival of a little pop prince or princess.

Wearing a beige, polo-neck jumper dress with tall black boots, the 33-year-old completed her look with a heavy camel-coloured coat.

Hitting celebrity hotspot Nobu, the duo turned in for the night early – also opting to shun booze for bottles of water during their meal.  

Still, some fans expressed concern that the love-birds seemed particularly exhausted; Liam, 23, had bags under reddened eyes while Cheryl also seemed tired. 

Of course, Mr Payne recently returned from a recording session in LA and may still be suffering from the effects of jet-lag.

He met his girlfriend of ten months way back in 2008 when he was just 14 – with Ms Cole, who is currently in the midst of divorcing her second husband – .giving the then wannabe-star a resounding 'yes' following his audition.

However, it wasn't until two years later that the One Direction singer returned to the reality TV show – and made it through to the live finals. He and his bandmates ultimately finished third in the competition, going on to become the biggest band of the last decade.

We know and love her from her S Club 7 days ("there ain't no party…") but Hannah Spearritt was completely unrecognisable when she stepped out in London earlier this week. 

Embracing a cool Goth vibe, the 35-year-old was attending the Everyday Heroes Party.

Wearing high-waisted SUPER long black trousers, she teamed those with a turtle-neck which boasted long-sleeves and lace detail. 

Her makeup was also seriously on point: Hannah rocked a dewy foundation with heavy kohl eye-pencil and bright red lips.

Of course, the one-time pop starlet was part of the mega-selling S Club 7 in the late Nineties and early Noughties. They sadly disbanded in 2003, although they reunited last year for a once-off arena tour.

Ms Spearritt has more recently turned her attentions to acting and earlier this year, she played Mercedes Christie in Casualty.

A mentally-ill young man stabbed new dad Dr Jeroen Ensink to death as he went to post baby cards announcing the birth. 

His daughter, Fleur, had arrived into the world just 11 days before the tragedy.

The 41-year-old academic was renowned in his field and died metres from the front door of his London home on December 29 last year.

Femi Nandap, 23, had launched a random, vicious attack, repeatedly stabbing Dr Ensink.

Jeroen's wife, Nadja, was at home with their baby. She became concerned at his delay and went outside to see if she could see him. There, she found his body among Fleur's baby cards, which were strewn on the ground and splattered in blood. 

Her husband was pronounced dead at the scene.

This morning at the Old Bailey, Nandap, of Woolwich, south-east London, admitted the manslaughter of Dr Ensink by reason of diminished responsibility. He appeared via video link from Broadmoor hospital.

The case has been adjourned until October 10 for sentencing.

Prosecutor Duncan Atkinson QC told the court: "There has been extensive psychiatric consideration in this case and the psychiatric opinion is clear, cogent and unanimous."

He added: "Given the defendant's history, the facts of the offence itself, the Crown take the view it is not in the public interest to pursue the murder allegation and that decision has been taken I'm consultation with the family of the deceased."

Less than three months before he killed Jeroen, who was originally from Holland, Nandap appeared in court accused of possessing a knife and assaulting a police officer.

It was alleged he had two kitchen knives with him in Edmonton on May 22, 2015 and that he assaulted PC Wellings on the same day.

Dr Ensink was a renowned water engineer and a dedicated humanitarian who was committed to improving access to water and sanitation in deprived countries.

Well, it looks like all the drama that went on last week was for nothing.

As Selena and Justin went to war with each other, we thought Sofia Richie was the woman for JB since he seemingly fought so hard for her.

But now, he's hanging out with a brand new lady.

The singer was out in Tape Nightclub in London with Rihanna, but there was another woman hanging on his arm all night.

Now, in all the pap photos, her face is covered (and let's not bet on Bieber putting up any snaps on her).

However, some eagle-eyes fans noticed that she looks a lot like one girl from Justin's Hawaii crew from last month (remember all the snaps of them in the swimming pool?).

So now, was Sofia Richie all for show or is he really into Hawaii's Bronte Blampied?

In the world of Justin Bieber, who knows…

A woman in her 60s has been killed and five people have been injured during a knife attack in central London which occurred around 10.30pm last night.

According to The Sun, the woman – who has yet to be identified – is believed to have been a Spanish speaker who was in the area on a hen do.

A 19-year-old man was arrested at the scene after being tasered by armed police who arrived within five minutes.   

A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police said that terrorism and mental health issues have not yet been ruled out as motives for the attack.

The Guardian has reported that Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley said: “Early indications suggest mental health is a significant factor in this case and that is one major line of inquiry.”

“But of course at this stage we should keep an open mind regarding motive and consequently terrorism as a motivation remains but one line of inquiry for us to explore.”

The condition of the attack’s other victims – two women and three men – is still unknown.

Right now, life is good for Pippa Middleton. For one, the 32-year-old’s dashing millionaire Old Etonian boyf James Matthews, 40, popped the question a week ago.

That and she’s currently enjoying all the trappings of royal life – without having to bother herself with public service.

Even big sis Kate must feel a smidgen jealous.

Here, and as detailed by today’s Mail On Sunday, we wrap just SOME of the lavish gifts that Ms Middleton has reportedly had showered on her since she and Mr Matthews began dating properly earlier this year (they also enjoyed a brief dalliance in late 2012).

 

1) A £250,000 art deco engagement ring with a three-carat Asscher-cut diamond at its centre.

 

2) A £14,500 Cartier Ballon Bleu watch – Kate has one too. 

 

3) A £100,000 classic car of her choosing to mark the engagement – a 1960s Mercedes Pagoda, like the one driven by Kate Moss, is top of the wishlist.

 

4) Lavish holidays to Corsica and Verbier, the Swiss party resort.

 

5) Nights out in London’s most exclusive restaurants – including Notting Hill hotspot Casa Cruz, where a single steak costs £50; high-end Indian restaurant Rasoi in Chelsea, and tapas restaurant Cambio del Tercio in South Kensington.

 

6) Numerous trips for the whole Middleton family to St Barths, where his parents own and run the Eden Rock hotel. They tend to travel on his £3m private jet.

 

7) A whole new floor added to his £17m Chelsea, London home. Pippa moved in after just two months of dating, and James immediately set about developing an extra floor in the house to accommodate a new bathroom especially for her.

 

8) A lavish 33rd birthday bash on September 6. Friends say he has a ‘huge surprise’ planned and will also fly the whole Middleton family (again, on his private jet, natch) to the Caribbean.

 

9) A wedding to remember: the pair are due to marry next year. Pippa is thought to have set her heart on a reception in the Scottish Highlands where the Matthews family own a 10,000-acre estate. The grand Victorian hunting lodge at Glen Affric in Inverness-shire has 11 bedrooms. It can only be rented as a whole… for more than £20,000 a night.

As it does every year to mark Queen Elizabeth II's birthday, the Trooping The Colour celebration took place in London recently.

A true spectacle of pomp and ceremony, all the usual royal suspects were there: Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice; 95-years-and-still-going-strong Philip; Charles and Camilla; the loveably rougish Harry, as well as the lesser known likes of Prince Michael of Kent.

But the true shining stars of the big Windsor day out were undoubtedly Wills and Kate and their totes adorbs children Prince George, 3, and one-year-old Princess Charlotte.

However, one individual who isn't as blinded by the Cambridges' gloss as the rest of us is evidently the woman-of-the-hour herself, Queen Elizabeth.

Indeed, the 90-year-old reigning monarch was quick to scold her grandson when she caught him on the doss.

Yes – instead of waving to the gathered masses from their Buckingham Palace balcony, Prince William at one stage opted to hunker down alongside his young son.

Until, that is, granny tapped him on the shoulder and instructed him to stand up.

As for Wills – well, he looks decidedly unimpressed. In fact, we dare say his royal sulk has just about made our day.

The cherry on the top? That would be little George's subtle-but-deadly face-palm…

One Direction are on a bit of an extended hiatus at the moment, and it seems that a fan may have gotten a bit upset by the news.

This morning, Harry Styles was woken up to find someone had vandalised on the side of his house – and the term they used is less than pleasant.

Now, it might not have been a fan at all, and it might not have even been targeted at Harry, but the big, bold, black letters that spelled, “c**t,” were certainly unwelcome.

In pictures, the writing is seen sprayed across the white walls of his London home, which we’re expecting will be painted over as soon as possible.

Let’s hope the vandals don’t strike his home again.

We at Shemazing! HQ fancy a refreshing G&T every now and then, but a hotel in London is opening a four-floor gin distillery – and you can spend the night.

It will feature a traditional gin bar, a gin museum, a special gin shop, a 'Gintonic' restaurant, a real-life distillery and a number of boutique hotel rooms. We like it already!

If you stay, you can also join its 'Ginstitute' where you will learn all about blending your own gins and making some delicious cocktails.

It plans to open in November, but we're kinda already there in our heads.

Niall Horan's definitely one of the most down-to-earth Irish celebs out there, as he proved yesterday once again.

The One Direction singer joined Snapchat just last week, and yesterday posted this photo showing him doing something very un-celeb like indeed – taking the train to a gig.

"TUBE!" Niall captioned the Snap – as caputured by Goss.ie – which shows him sitting in an almost empty carriage on London's Northern Line.

Unexpectedly, Twitter soon exploded, with Londoners having meltdowns all over the place:

Judging by Laura Whitmore's social media updates later in the evening, Niall was en route to a Kodaline gig at The Roundhouse with some friends, including Irish-Moldovan presenter Diana Bunici:

But while Niall might have taken the Tube to the gig like Joe Soap, he did of course get to watch the gig from side-stage, because, well, he's Niall Horan.

Just another day in the life of a superstar.
