London

Arguably, she hasn't had a hit in Hollywood in close-to a decade.

Certainly, her last role of any note in a major feature film was playing Diane Howser in the moderately successful Bobby. Released in 2006, it also starred Ashton Kutcher, Helen Hunt and William H Macy. 

Since then, Lindsay Lohan has had bit parts in independent films, as well as various cameo appearances. She even nabbed a West End role late last year, but that has now concluded – leaving her, once again, unemployed.

Often seen in London in the company of wealthy men, a source told the New York Post's Page Six that the 29-year-old is "broke," and "sleeping at different guys’ apartments." They added: "But she thinks she’s Elizabeth Taylor."

The same website also says that Lindsay was recently approached by Burger King, which wanted her to star in one of its ads.

Apparently, she was asked to wear a Spicy Chicken Fries box, smoke a chicken fry like a cigarette, and vamp a “spicy” monologue.

Understandably, her management company weren't happy with how the advert set out to mock her, but they also know she isn't in a position to turn down work.

"Lohan and her managers at Untitled Talent suggested some alternate concepts to no avail," Page Six explains; meaning her representatives were eventually forced to politely decline the fast food chain's offer.

Earlier this week, Lindsay posted a bizarre image to Instagram to mark her 29th birthday.

The shot showed the bottom half of the New York native's body. She is pulling down her white under-pants, and also has on a white shirt and black strappy sandals.

 

My birthday is tomorrow!!!!! Where shall I go to soak up the sun and be with my sister!!!???

2015 should represent new beginnings of sorts for Li-Lo. The ongoing legal troubles which dominated her 20s – she has been arrested, charged and even jailed on several occasions – are finally behind her. 

But it seems her once-promising acting career has been largely killed off.

One industry insider recently commented: "A couple of years ago she was the train-wreck that no one could get enough of – the world was fascinated by how spectacularly she'd come off the rails. She was paparazzi gold.

"But now? She doesn't even have that. Her tabloid appeal has really worn off.

"She's been relegated to the same status as a one-time soap actress or former reality TV star."

Though the millions of women who found themselves drooling over his perfect face in Fifty Shades might disagree, Jamie Dornan has previously spoken of his love of having a beard.

Indeed, he's said he believes it makes him more distinguished and less cutsie-looking.

But the actor struck a balance while out and about in London yesterday, sporting neither a full beard nor a clean-shaven look.

Instead, Jamie boasted a handlebar moustache – which unsurprisingly he managed to pull off to perfection. 

Although dressed down in a blue t-shirt and navy jeans, also on show were his toned biceps.

The 33-year-old Co. Down-native was accompanied by his English wife, Amelia Warner, also 33, and their 18-month-old daughter, Dulcie.

The facial hair is not by choice, however: he has grown the moustache for a role in the forthcoming Jadotville. 

Released next year, the feature film documents the story of Co. Kerry Commandant Pat Quinlan, who led a stand-off with French and Belgian troops in the Congo in the early 1960s. 

Playing the suited and booted Christian Grey in the big-screen adaptation of EL James's Fifty Shades Of Grey, Mr Dornan sent hearts aflutter when the film hit cinemas in February.

It eventually went on to gross half a billion euro at the box office.

Thankfully, Jamie has already signed up for the sequel, Fifty Shades Darker, which is due for release on February 10, 2017.

It is believed that he has been offered a €1.35m bonus to do a full frontal nude scene in the movie – an offer which he is said to be considering carefully.

The company is already famed for its minimalist approach to brand awareness – but its latest advertising campaign goes one step further: using a sequence of 18 emjois on billboards erected in London.

Depicting a series of well-known traffic and roadworks symbols to reflect the city's notoriously congested roads, McDonalds even added in its own addition to represent a drive-thru: it's enough to make a crying smiley face turn happy too.

An image of the billboard was this evening shared on Twitter by social media expert, Jennifer Hassan, who works in London for Viber. She spotted the ad at the Aldgate East tube stop, in the East End area of the city.

Ikea and Coca Cola are some of the other big names who have lately opted to embrace the use of the Japanese ideograms in adverts and promotional drives.

Ikeas's offering was released in February of this year, allowing customers to download images depicting the likes of its famed Swedish meatballs, sofas and bookcases, and the company's instantly-recognisable blue and yellow stores.

Two of celebville's hottest new couples went on a seriously cool double-date in London yesterday – taking to the River Thames waves for a private boat ride.

Taylor Swift, who this evening takes her tour to Dublin, was there with her boyf Calvin Harris in tow, while Gigi Hadid brought love-interest Joe Jonas.

Then, just to make the whole situation even cooler, former Victoria's Secret angel Karlie Kloss tagged along for good measure. Can you even be a third wheel is you're one of the world's highest paid models? Seemingly so.

Tay-Tay, 25, and 31-year-old Calvin were recently named as showbiz's most powerful couple – and they certainly look incredibly loved-up as the boat made its way through the English capital.

Less tactile, but every bit as cute, were 22-year-old Gigi and Joe, 25 – and good to see that, once again, there's no awkwardness whatsoever between exes Miss Swift and Mr Jonas.

Karlie Kloss can be seen in the centre of the same image – which was posted this morning to Taylor's Instagram account – smiling warmly. Her long-term boyfriend, 30-year-old entrepeneur Joshua Kushner, was sadly absent.

​"Little known fact: Karlie is secretly an unofficial historian/London tour guide. Kind of,” Swift captioned the photo.

It has already notched up in excess of a million likes.

The Mean Girls star has been granted a restraining order against the 37-year old German native who had been obsessively stalking her.

Daniel Vorderwulbecke left Lindsay, 28, ‘constantly looking over her shoulder’, and was banned from approaching the actress, but when she failed to return from the U.S to give evidence against him in court, he was not charged with stalking the celebrity.

At Westminster Magistrates Court yesterday Vorderwulbecke was banned from contacting Lindsay directly or indirectly, in person or by electronic means.

The District Judge Ikram said, “These offences are particularly serious. They are serious because of their nature but also because of the frequency of contact and the nature of the contact.”

The DJ has previously been convicted of harassing the manager of the Chiltern Firehouse, a celebrity haunt in London which Lindsay reportedly often visits.

While there he claimed the manager was preventing him from seeing his ‘wife’ and made various threats of revenge when he was barred from the restaurant.

He had also been convicted of criminal damage when he smashed a cigarette bin outside the Playhouse Theatre in London where Lindsay was performing in September of last year.

The judge has imposed a 12-month mental health treatment order as well as a restraining order which will not allow the man to contact either Lindsay or the staff of the Chiltern Firehouse.

Vorderwelbecke has previously delivered a number of strange ‘gifts’ to the star which included a loaf of bread, a tampon and a fake marriage certificate.

He is currently being held at a psychiatric hospital but has also been bombarding the star with abusive messages, one of which read “I’ll get you, wherever you are”.

While he had been charged with stalking Lindsay, her failure to show up in court and provide evidence meant that the stalking charges were dropped.

This isn’t Lindsay’s first experience in dealing with the law, her legal issues have been well documented by the press. Just recently her lawyer had to explain why she had only completed 10 hours of the 125 hours community service she has been tasked with.

He and Oscar-winner Jennifer Lawrence, 24, have been supposedly dating for close-to a year, but 38-year-old Chris Martin has now been spotted walking arm-in-arm with another woman: namely pop starlet Kylie Minogue, 47.

The duo took a stroll through a London park at the early hour of 1.30am on Monday.

She had just finished a gig at the nearby Hyde Park – and evidently met up with the Coldplay frontman when she was finished. 

The close friends walked past the city's parliament buildings and Buckingham Palace before disappearing into the famed St James's Park.

Kylie herself is currently single following the breakup of her most recent relationship, while Chris "consciously uncoupled" from his wife of more than a decade in April of last year.

It is thought that he and Ms Lawrence remain in a committed relationship: just weeks ago they attended a U2 concert together in California and afterwards went with Bono to the after-party at Chateau Marmont on Sunset Boulevard.

Indeed, a representative for Kylie told Mail Online: "They are not dating. There is nothing in it. I know from both sides that they have been friends for a long time."

Meanwhile, Jennifer remains Stateside. Last night, she was out with friends for a casual dinner in New York.

When part-time singer Lorraine O’Reilly took to the stage recently to play a mixture of cover songs and her own original material, she found herself suddenly taken aback: for sitting in the audience mere metres away was one of the artists whose songs she was due to perform.

Emeli Sande has sold millions of records and has a No.1 album in Our Version Of Events. One of her biggest hits is undoubtedly Read All About It – a song that Co. Cavan-native Lorraine had lined up as part of her set at the Old Windsor Working Men’s Club near London last Friday.

She told 2fm’s Breakfast Republic this morning that Emeli caught her eye as soon as she walked in the door. “Not everyone might recognise her but I did immediately.”

She also explained that the superstar singer was seated only about 3metres away from the stage. Worse still, Lorraine had to get through a full 45minutes of material before she came to Read All About It.

By then, however, much of the gathered audience had recognised the Scottish musician – and the crowd understandably erupted with Ms O’Reilly introduced the song.

She describes the next few moments as a “blur”: less than a minute-and-half into her expert rendition, Emeli joined her on stage having been handed a mic.

The resulting duet is spectacular – with Lorraine expertly hitting every note alongside her more famous counterpart.  

Ms Sandé also sang Next To Me for the audience before leaving the stage.

Lorraine moved to London five years ago and now works in insurance, although she made it through to the live The Voice UK finals last year.

Last Friday’s gig was in aid of two charitable causes: the Ring Of Beara and the Ring Of Kerry cycles.

He boasts a movie director dad and a superstar, icon musician mother – but Rocco Ritchie was barely recognisable stepping out in London last night.

Nodding to the early Nineties in light denim jeans, a kaleidoscopic shirt and long, wavy tresses, the 14-year-old looked older than his teenage years. Certainly, he bore a striking style resemblance to the Madonna of some 25 years ago.

He was accompanied by his 46-year-old dad, and his father’s fiancée, model Jacqui Ainsley, 33. They have been together for five years and although they have yet to set an exact wedding date, they have three children together aged four, three, and one.

Earlier this week, Rocco had playfully referenced one of his famous mum’s biggest hits, Like A Virgin, while posing up with a friend for a selfie. His blond hair was pushed back off his face and he sported a towel fashioned into a 1990s-era hair-band.

Earlier this year, Madonna, 56, claimed she wasn’t allowed to “express herself” during her eight-year long marriage to Guy Ritchie.

The pair, who tied the knot in 2000, also adopted two more sons during their marriage: David, nine, and Mercy, five.

Robbie Williams and his wife of five-years Ayda Field are being sued for sexual harassment by a former employee, according to reports from the US today.

Gilles De Bonfihs was briefly a personal assistant to the pair – before being fired in January of this year.

TMZ exclusively says he is now claiming that among more mundane tasks including getting coffee and picking up laundry, he was expected to talk about sex and comment on Ayda’s body.

Specially, he alleges that 35-year-old Ms Field would walk around in various states of undress; share intimate details of her sex life; question him about his sex life, and ask him to answer questions and comment on her body.

Robbie Williams, 41, is named as a defendant, but Mr Bonfihs doesn’t make any sexual harassment allegations against him.

Musician Robbie and actress Ayda have been together for close to a decade. They have two children together: two-year-old daughter Theodora Rose and a son, Charlton Valentine, who was born last October.

For much of their relationship they have lived at their Los Angeles mansion, also the location of their 2010 nuptials, but they regularly spend time at their sprawling home in London.

Paris Hilton was today en route to Liverpool from London, but rather than opt for a helicopter or chauffeur-driven car, the reality TV star and socialite decided to make the three-hour journey via train.

 

Next stop – Liverpool!

A photo posted by Paris Hilton (@parishilton) on

Sitting comfortably in a Virgin first-class carriage this morning, the 34-year-old happily posted pictures to her Instagram account of her unassuming commute.

Paris, who is worth €90m, would have paid as little as €100 for her ticket.

She is in the UK to promote her new perfume and this afternoon is at a branch of Superdrug in Liverpool to meet and greet fans.

Incredibly this is her 18th fragrance in just 11 years – her very first offering, Paris Hilton for women, was released back in 2004 at the height of her fame and went on to be an international best-seller.

Yesterday, the heiress also treated herself to a stealth London shopping spree: donning a short, dark wig and giant sunglasses she hit Topshop’s flagship store on Oxford Circus.

Wearing comfortable-looking skinny jeans and a €155 Johnson herringbone bow sweater, she picked up a haul of accessories and clothing – all packed into six large carrier-bags.

She’s clearly a big Topshop fan too. “Always find the cutest clothes and accessories there!” she said of the Philip Green-owned store afterwards.

 

Ms Hilton only arrived in London from Los Angeles yesterday – and came with no fewer than eight suitcases for her trip.

After her UK stopover, she travels to Cannes for a DJ gig before moving on to Mexico. Her new single, High Off My Love, is released on Friday.

It looks like that George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin are getting closer to their big day!

It’s been reported that George and Amal have obtained their marriage licence this afternoon.

Speculation has suggested that the actual wedding ceremony will take place in Italy.

When Clooney was questioned on his upcoming nuptials, George spoke fondly of his wife-to-be.

"I'm marrying up." 

While our hearts are breaking, we still can’t wait for the couple’s big day!

Bradley Cooper shocked fans at the weekend when he was spotted flipping burgers in a fast food restaurant in the centre of London.

But fear not, our lovely Bradley has not fallen on hard times, but was instead preparing himself for his latest film role.

The actor was seen practicing his burger flipping skills on Sunday before he was pictured filming the scene yesterday.

An insider revealed that Bradley wanted to learn the “art of the flip”.

“Bradley was training alongside genuine Burger King staff. The aim was to learn the ‘art of the flip’ which he nailed fairly quickly.  There was no real fanfare from him. You’d never know he was a big star by the way he spoke to people.”

Cooper plays a chef in his new movie, which has yet to be titled.

With all of this practice, we’ve no doubt that he’s mastered the art of flipping burgers already!
