By MARCUS BARNES


Not too comfortable: Justin Bieber's face says it all as his girlfriend Selena Gomez wraps her arms around him during a basketball game in Dallas


Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez continued to flaunt their young love at a basketball game last night.

Selena in particular being very touchy feely with her beau who appeared a little uncomfortable with her public displays of affection.

The pop superstar's face said it all as his Disney star girlfriend wrapped her arms around him during the NBA playoff match between Miami Heat and Dallas Mavericks at the American Airlines Centre in Dallas.


Nonchalant: The pop superstar keeps his hands in his pockets as Selena plants a loving kiss on his cheek


Justin, 17, kept his hands in his pockets at one point while Selena placed her arms tenderly around his neck and planted a kiss on his cheek.

The expression on his face seeming to indicate he was less than happy with his girlfriend's attentions.

Later he shared a warm embrace with the 18-year-old star of Wizards of Waverly Place, but was more concerned with the basketball match for most of their evening.

The expression on his face seeming to indicate he was less than happy with his girlfriend's attentions.

Later he shared a warm embrace with the 18-year-old star of Wizards of Waverly Place, but was more concerned with the basketball match for most of their evening.


Avid fan: Justin appears to explain what's going on to his Disney star girlfriend as they enjoy the NBA playoff


Selena wore a white top with see-through lace sections across the midriff and on the arms, while Justin wore a black baseball cap and a matching jumper with an ice-cream logo emblazoned on the front.

The outing was a far cry from their recent romantic break to Hawaii.

During their holiday Justin and Selena were pictured frolicking in the sea together, Selena straddling her boyfriend as he held her up in his arms.


Deep Concentration: The couple managed to tear their attention away from each other to concentrate on the game


In the playoff match Miami Heat lost 86-83 to the Dallas Mavericks - the result left the teams tied at two games apiece in the best-of-seven series.

Perhaps Justin was distracted because he was conducting research for his forthcoming basketball movie.

Approached about the movie by MTV, he said: 'I know, it’s gonna be crazy!


Cheering the team on: Selena was seen clapping while Justin shared a joke with a friend


'You’ll have to see. I can’t really reveal too much about it.'

Justin's co-star Mark Wahlberg also recently spoke about the new film.

He explained that he was impressed by Bieber's video audition, saying: 'He sent me a video of himself, and, yeah, I think he's really talented.'

Cheryl Cole slams Cowell as she declares friendship is over

By SARAH FITZMAURICE

Not friends: Cheryl Cole has told friends her friendship with Simon Cowell is over after the humiliation on the X Factor


She has been keeping a low profile since being fired from the U.S. version of the X Factor after just four days on the show.

But Cheryl Cole is said to be furious over the humiliation she has been subjected to and has told friends she is through with her friendship with Simon Cowell.

The singer, 27, is said to be so angry with the music mogul after he spoke out about her departure from the show stateside that she wants to cut all ties with him, according to reports by The Sun.


Stunning: Cheryl is seen in a romantic new shot as she launches the website for the Cheryl Cole Foundation


A source told the paper: ‘Cheryl trusted him implicitly and she doesn’t do that with many people.’

‘He made a mockery of their friendship so now it’s dead in the water.’

Cowell broke his silence over Cheryl’s exit from the show over the weekend and said the star had clearly been ‘uncomfortable’ while filming auditions for the talent show in America.

The multi-millionaire admitted he had received a message from Mrs Cole saying she felt ‘let down’ by him, adding: ‘A hundred per cent I have to take full responsibility, because I do have a lot of sway.


'Not herself': Simon said Cheryl was out of her comfort zone in the U.S. and had hoped she would return to the UK version of the show


‘This has been a rough two weeks. The hardest thing to accept is that everyone has painted me as a monster because I embarrassed her. But the truth was I was protecting her.'

‘I apologise that all this has become public and I understand the stress she is under, and I hate that. But we have all been under a lot of stress.’

While Cowell has said he was hoping Cheryl would return to the U.K. version of the X Factor and then said he invited her back to the U.S. show a source close to Cheryl told MailOnline: ‘Why would she go back when they let her down so badly?'

Last night at the Glamour Women Of The Year Awards Louis Walsh refused to talk about the former judge and said: ‘Change the record, seriously.’


Happier times: Cheryl Cole and Simon Simon Cowell on the X Factor in 2010 sharing a joke together


But the Irish manager did tell MailOnline he thinks that this year’s U.K. X Factor was ‘the best series yet’ and hinted that they may have already seen a winner in the auditions.

When asked about the U.S. X Factor and rivalry with Simon he said: ‘We are going to smash it, up until this week I was worried about the U.S show, but after seeing some of the talent out there it’s going to be amazing.’

While Cheryl and Simon's friendship is said to be 'over' Paula Abdul has taken to Twitter to talk about the Geordie singer.

She posted: 'Cheryl is amazing. We have forged a wonderful friendship & have been & will continue to stay in touch..'

Then added: '..I'm excited for everyone to see and hear what she is about to do next. xoP.'

Piers causes tears as he tells leader of teenage pop group to ditch bandmates on America's Got Talent

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Hopefuls: Teenage group Poplyfe took to the stage in scenes on aired last night on America's Got Talent in a bid to make it through to the Las Vegas round


Piers Morgan reduced a teenage girl to tears on America's Got Talent last night.

The former Fleet Street newspaper editor told the lead singer of Poplyfe that he was impressed with her vocal.

But he gave her a cruel ultimatum saying he would only put her through if she ditched her five other bandmates.


Mr Nasty: But Morgan told the lead singer she should dump her other five bandmates - otherwise he would give his vote


Saving the day: But fellow judges Sharon Osbourne an Howie Mandel came through and put the entire group through to the next round


Sticking to her guns, the girl, whose name was not revealed on the show, said: 'I cannot go without my brothers.'

Luckily for her, fellow judges Sharon Osbourne and Howie Mandel gave her and the rest of the band the thumbs up and put them through to the next round in Las Vegas.

But Piers said to them: 'Judging you as a group, I'm going to say no.'

The six-piece band, who are aged between 12 and 16 and who performed Travie McCoy's track Billionaire, were delighted with the final result after being saved by Howie and Sharon.


Introductions: The band is made up of members aged between 12 and 16


Acoustic set: They performed a version of Travie McCoy's track Billionaire


As they exited the stage, the lead singer triumphantly shouted at Piers: 'We will show you.'

But it appeared the stress of the audition was a little too much to take.

Moments later she dissolved into tears backstage when host Nick Cannon asked her why she was so emotional.

With tears in her eyes, she replied: 'Because I thought I was going to have to leave them.'

Last night's show kicked off with a hilarious skit by celebrity impressionist Melissa Villasenor.


Impressive: Kenyan acrobatic group Zuma Zuma got the thumbs up as they made a human pyramid


She earned laughs with her interpretations of Barbara Walters, Miley Cyrus, Kathy Griffin, Christina Aguilera and Natalie Portman.

Afterwards Sharon told the shop worker: 'You won't be working in retail much longer.' Melissa received three yes votes from the judges.

Next up was the A+C Twins, who failed to impress with their rendition of My Girl.


Wow: Anita McCoy did the splits to the surprise of the judging panel


Oh dear: The A+C Twins failed to impress despite comparing themselves to The Jacksons, seen here with judge Howie attempting to help them out


Howie even joined them on stage for a verse, but the twosome were sent packing after Sharon told them they couldn't sing.

An acrobatic group from Kenya called Zuma Zuma caught the attention of the judges as the put on a high-energy routine that saw them build a human pyramid. They secured the approval of all of the judges and made it to the next round.

But 33-year-old showman Mauricio Herrera was another flop in a night of weird and wonderful acts.

He performed Ricky Martin's Livin La Vida Loca, with Piers buzzing him out from the off before branding it 'horrendous'.

Other acts who made it through to Vegas included acrobatic couple The Daring Jones Duo, eight-year-old swing singer Sadie and The Elektrolytes, a hip-hop dance group.


How cute: Swing singer Sadie was a big hit with her very impressive voice


You're out: Mauricio Herrera failed to serve up the good with his rendition of Ricky Martin's Living La Vida Loca, leaving Piers with his head in his hands

Pippa returns to the scene of her triumph: The younger Middleton heads to the Goring Hotel for a beach party with her parents

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Life's a beach: Pippa Middleton glides out of the Goring Hotel in London where she attended a beach party held in their garden


Pippa Middleton was catapulted into the limelight after wearing 'that dress' at the royal wedding and last night she returned to where it all began.

The Duchess of Cambridge's sister accompanied her mother Carole and father Michael on a return visit to the Goring Hotel for a special beach party.

Her royal hotness, 27, looked great in a patterned dress by French label Maje which she cinched in with a beige belt.

Keeping things casual, Pippa accessorised with a bright purple cardigan and a pair of the same leg-lengthening nude L.K. Bennett court shoes worn by sister Kate to last week's Derby.



Chic: The Duchess of Cambridge's sister looked great in her floral patterned dress and purple cardigan


Oddly, her shoes were an almost exact match of those worn by her mother.

Carole Middleton's dress was also a similar cut to her daughter's, featuring a coloured hexagonal design matched with a silk belt tied around her waist.

Father Michael kept it simple in a black suit with a red tie.



Best foot forward: Pippa's shoes were almost exactly the same as those worn by her mother, Carole


The threesome, and some friends, visited private members' club Harry's Bar before returning to the hotel where they spent the night before the royal wedding.

They went back to The Goring to attend a beach party, held in the hotel's grounds where the owners have built a new beach bar.

Owner Jeremy Goring brought in Basil Charles, owner of Basil's Bar on the Caribbean island Mustique, to oversee the exciting project.


Jolly good night: The threesome leave Harry's Bar private members' club


It is being built by Blue Forest, who specialise in über-luxury, sustainable tree houses and eco-lodges.

And the interior of the bar, while inspired by Basil’s, has been given some quirky touches of its own by The Goring’s interior designer, Russell Sage.

They have shipped in tons of sand, three fishing boats and a palm-thatched roof - as well as cocktails created by Basil.


Pin-up Pippa: Kate Middleton's sister smiles as she makes her way home


Pippa and her parents would have been able to choose from concoctions such as the Mustique Mule, the Hurricane David and Basil’s Rum Punch.

Earlier in the week, Pippa showed she had lost none of her athletic prowess by taking part in a triathlon.

Despite soaring temperatures, Kate’s younger sister earned a well-deserved medal after completing a 5km race in the GE Blenheim Triathlon, which takes place every year at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire.


Guests: Judith Chalmers and a male companion leave the Goring event


Dressed for the beach: Christopher Biggins wears a Hawaiian shirt and shorts to the event


Pippa was joined by two male friends and opted to do the running part of the competition while the boys completed tough swimming and cycling sections.

Dressed in a pink and grey vest, matching shorts, a £270 pair of Bulgari sunglasses and with an ankle tag to time her, Pippa breezed through her race, completing it in a time of 25 minutes and 30 seconds.

‘People were excited to see her,’ said Alex Coulson, an organiser of the event which attracted 6,000 spectators.



She's a winner: With another athlete at close quarters, Pippa Middleton crosses the finishing line at the GE Blenheim Triathlon


‘The boys completed their courses in good time and joined Pippa to run across the finishing line together.’

Pippa is well-known as a keen sportswoman. At Marlborough and Edinburgh University, she played hockey and tennis and, like her sister, works out daily.

'I only found out I was replacing Cheryl Cole when I read the papers', admits new X Factor USA judge Nicole Scherzinger

By SARAH BULL

Last to know: Nicole Scherzinger admitted to Graham Norton that she only found out she was replacing Cheryl Cole on X Factor USA when she read the papers


The ongoing X Factor saga has kept fans riveted with constant changes in the judging panels both in the UK and Stateside.

But now Nicole Scherzinger has revealed she only found out she would be replacing Cheryl Cole on panel of the U.S. show when she read it in the newspaper.

Recording an interview on The Graham Norton Show, which airs on Friday, Nicole said: 'I haven’t said this yet, but I think it’s official that I have been made a judge. It's an amazing opportunity.


Stunning: Nicole wore a tribal-print minidress as she performed her new single on the show


'I’m kind of finding out (what’s happening) along with everyone else. It’s kind of crazy to read about it in the newspaper first.'

However, Nicole said she is looking forward to working with music mogul Simon Cowell on the programme.

She told Norton: 'He is someone you can learn a lot from. But when we are in that room it’s all about the music and the talent and I focus on the contestants, its what I am really passionate about.'


New role: It was a quick pit stop for Nicole, who begins her X Factor duties in New Jersey on Wednesday


Show bosses officially announced yesterday that Nicole will indeed be replacing Cheryl, and will 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.

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


Famous friends: Also appearing on the show were Tom Hanks and Simon Pegg


What's that you said? Nicole gasps at one of Norton's famously close-to-the-mark jokes


Finally confirmed: X Factor officially confirmed on Monday that Nicole IS replacing Cheryl on the judging panel


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


The Graham Norton Show airs on BBC One this Friday at 10.35pm.

Princess for a day: Jessica Alba's daughter Honor celebrates her third birthday by dressing up in regal attire

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Happy Birthday to me! Jessica Alba's daughter celebrated her third birthday by dressing up as a princess for the day in New York


She is one of the most popular celebrity offsprings in the world, so it was quite fitting that Jessica Alba's daughter Honor celebrated her third birthday by dressing up as a princess for the day.

Accompanied by her mother, the three-year-old was spotted in the regal attire as they ventured out in Manhattan today.

She wore a badge on the front of the costume which said 'Birthday Girl' and clutched a toy doll.


Cute: Honor wore a badge on the front of the costume which said 'Birthday Girl' and clutched a toy doll


Jessica, 30, was beaming as she proudly held her daughter's hand.

The actress, who is expecting another child this year, dressed casual and comfortable in head-to-toe black.

Her growing baby bump was clearly visible in a fitted tank top, paired with a sheer striped cardigan and high-waisted trousers.

Jessica accessorised with some chic strappy wedges, a beaded necklace and her obligatory Ray-Ban sunglasses.

Jessica's husband and Honor's father, Cash Warren was clearly absent from the outing today.


Proud mother: Pregnant Jessica proudly held onto her daughters hand


Last night Jessica attended the CFDA Style Awards in an orange and purple gown reminiscent of the outfit Cheryl Cole wore for the very first US X Factor auditions last month.

Even though she looked pretty in the gown, the flowing Diane Von Furtstenberg frock featuring a coral top with lilac billowing skirt, evoked memories of Cheryl's now infamous colour-blocking faux pas.

But rather than offend with a back-combed bouffant, Jessica wore her hair slicked back in a simple chignon up-do exposing some oversized earrings.


Taking tips? Jessica stepped out in an orange and purple gown at the CFDA Fashion Awards last night, which was reminiscent of the outfit Cheryl wore for the very first US X Factor auditions, last month


A source within the production team told The Mail on Sunday: ‘Obviously Cheryl is a gorgeous woman, but she turned up to the first day’s filming of The X Factor looking a bit weird in purple flares.

Everyone was talking about how she looked - but for all the wrong reasons.'

Meanwhile, Jessica has collaborated with International luxury jewellery and watchmaker Piaget.

The actress is the new face of the company's Possession range.

The new campaign was shot by renowned fashion photographer Patrick Demarchelier.

The Possession collection is said to 'represents a bond, an official or secret story of love or friendship.'

The 20th anniversary range is available in white or yellow gold, paved with diamonds or left nude.

How Suri Cruise, five, already has a $150,000 shoe collection

By TAMARA ABRAHAM

Fancy footwear: Suri Cruise, pictured in $110 Ugg boots (left) in March and purple satin heels (right) later that day, has a shoe collection believed to be worth over $150,000


She has always displayed a strong sartorial instinct, and has been wearing heels since the age of three. Now, it appears that in just a few short years Suri Cruise has acquired quite the shoe collection.

The five-year-old daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes has $150,000 worth of footwear in her closet, according to news reports published today.

And you'd be unlikely to spot any Stride-Rite among the young fashionista's array, as sources claim she already has a taste for high-end labels such as Christian Louboutin and Marc Jacobs.


Sartorial instincts: Suri is regularly seen in heels, despite her tender age, and her mother is even believed to have commissioned bespoke pairs for the five-year-old from her favourite designer labels


They say Ms Holmes, 32, has even been getting her favourite designers to custom-make shoes for Suri, to accommodate her little one's penchant for heels.

A source told Star magazine: 'Suri has so many designer shoes.

'She’s a massive fan of Marc Jacobs and she’s had several shoes custom-made, so if they didn’t come with a heel, Katie had them redesigned for Suri. She commissioned a pair of Louboutins for her a while back!'

They added that Suri is insistent in her fashion choices, turning to tears if she doesn't get her way


Flat out: Despite her precocious penchant for heels, Suri also has an impressive array of ballerina flats, including designs by Marc Jacobs (left), and is almost never seen in the same pair twice


But $150,000 on shoes is small fry compared with the rest of the youngster's wardrobe, which is believed to have a value of $3.2million.

She has been spotted out in a $2,140 Dolce & Gabbana trench coat, and last year she was spotted with an $800 miniature version of her mother's Ferragamo bag.

Last month Suri even came 21st in a list of Glamour magazine readers' style icons, beating Lady Gaga and Sarah Jessica Parker in ranking.

Bikini babe Christine Bleakley can't keep her hands off boyfriend Frank Lampard as they enjoy romantic Vegas vacation

By SARAH BULL

Romantic rendezvous: Frank Lampard and Christine Bleakley giggle as they enjoy a romantic holiday in Las Vegas


They may have been dating for nearly two years, but it seems Christine Bleakley and Frank Lampard are still very much in the honeymoon period of their relationship.

The couple were pictured kissing and cuddling as they enjoyed a romantic holiday in Las Vegas earlier this week.

Christine, who showed off her slender figure in a blue and white polka dot bikini, couldn't resist pulling her Chelsea midfielder for a series of kisses as they basked in the sunshine before taking a dip in the hotel pool.


Pucker up: The couple's love for each other was clear as they kissed and cuddled in the hotel pool


And the feeling was most definitely mutual, as Frank cheekily kept grabbing his girlfriend's pert posterior as they relaxed at their hotel.

It was reported last month that Frank is apparently to be planning a romantic proposal on board one of Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich's luxury yachts.

Father-of-two Lampard, 32, is preparing to get down on one knee in Sardinia next week and ask for Bleakley's hand in marriage.


Bikini babe: Christine showed off her slender figure in a navy blue and white polka dot bikini


Come here for another smooch: Christine pulls in Frank for another romantic clinch as they relax on the sunloungers at their hotel


A source said: 'Frank intends to propose in the most romantic way possible. He's got it all planned out. He will spent most of June away with Christine and by the time he and Christine are back in London, they will be engaged.

Sardinia holds a special place for the couple because it's where they enjoyed their first proper holiday as couple last July after England crashed out of the World Cup.

In an interview with the Mail earlier this month, Christine, 32, downplayed any speculation about getting married, despite admitting how happy she was with her footballer beau.


Cheeky! Frank couldn't resist grabbing his girlfriend's pert posterior as they basked in the Las Vegas sunshine


She said: 'People keep asking when he’s going to ask me to marry him. But I’m the last person who should know that.

'We went to Paris for two days a few weeks ago and suddenly it was, "Look, they’re ring shopping." No, we weren’t and he certainly hasn’t asked.

‘We’ve only been seeing each other a year and a half, which isn’t long enough for me. There are his children to think about, too.

'I can’t imagine not being with Frank, and I’d like to enjoy being married to him for a while before having children. Frank would have more tomorrow, but he knows I’m not ready for it.’

Sam Faiers and Joey Essex cuddle up as they enjoy the rides at Thorpe Park... but still won't confirm engagement reports

By SARAH BULL

Cuddling up: The Only Way Is Essex stars Sam Faiers and Joey Essex cuddled up as they enjoyed the sunshine at Thorpe Park in Surrey today


They first sparked rumours they had secretly got engaged earlier this month when Sam Faiers stepped out wearing a diamond solitaire on her ring finger.

But the The Only Way Is Essex star and her co-star boyfriend Joey Essex are still refusing to either confirm or deny the report, despite Sam flashing her new jewel at every opportunity.

The couple were seen cuddling up as they enjoyed the rides at the Thorpe Park theme park in Surrey today along with Sam's two young cousins.


Summer style: Sam looked slender in a vest top and maxi skirt, while Joey stuck to his favourite grey tracksuit and flip flops


However, perhaps the pair should have rethought their outfit options for the day out, as both of the reality stars struggled in their summer chic clothes.

While Sam's maxi skirt got in the way as she made her way around the hair-raising rides, Joey's flip-flops also proved troublesome.

But their problematic outfits didn't stop the pair thoroughly enjoying themselves on the rides,with Sam tweeting her fans this afternoon: 'At Thorpe park! With Joey and my 2cousins! All rides soo good :-) Wohoo!'


I'll race you! Sam and Joey compete on the Depth Surge four-lane water slide


Picture perfect: Joey ensured his hair was still looking 'reem' ahead of the start of the ride, while Sam just looked relieved when she got to the bottom


There was no mention from Sam on Twitter however about her ring.

Joey added on his Twitter page: 'On way to Thorpe Park with @SamanthaFaiers . Harvey & George!!! Can't wait to get on these rides!!! Exciteddd maannnnn.'

The pair took on rides including the scary Depth Charge, a four-lane super slide, with Joey pausing at the top of the slide only to ensure his hair was still looking 'reem'.


Flying high: The couple were also accompanied by Sam's two young cousins, who looked to be having a good time


Having fun: Sam shrieked with laughter on one of the rides, but perhaps a maxi skirt wasn't the best option


It has been an exciting few weeks for the TOWIE pair, following a trip to Marbella and an exciting win at the BAFTA Television Awards.

But the date of the awards, at which the programme took home the YouTube Audience prize, proved a problem for Sam, who was planning to go to Marbella with co-stars including Amy Childs.

Sam told MailOnline that she and Amy had to change their flights as they had originally booked to fly out on the Sunday - the day of the Baftas.


Are they aren't they? Sam and Joey have yet to comment on engagement rumours


She said: 'We weren't sure if we were going to be invited and weren't sure of the dates and me and Amy had booked our flights to Marbella on the Sunday.

'And then when we got our invites through, I said, "right, we've got to change it".
'So I was on the case, and we flew to Marbella first thing on the Monday, so I knew I couldn't get too drunk on Sunday!'
