As if we needed reminding! Nicki Minaj gives her fans an eyeful as she goes topless in racy flashback snap

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Not shy! Nicki Minaj retweeted a topless photo of herself on Wednesday, preserving her modesty with just her hands

There's no denying that she likes to experiment with the way that she looks.
But Nicki Minaj took it one step further on Wednesday, as she retweeted a topless photo of herself, preserving her modesty with her own hands.
The star seemed keen for all of her fans to see the old snap of her, which showed her half dressed as she stood backstage.

Cheeky snap: Safaree Samuels aka Scaff Beezy posted the racy picture of Nicki while she was getting changed

Proving once again that she's far from shy, the Starships singer re-posted the flashback snap after Scaff Beezy uploaded it to his account.
Nicki's executive producer and rumoured boyfriend clearly didn't have any qualms about the world seeing the star in the buff, adding it to his Twitter for everyone to see.
And far from being embarrassed, Nicki decided to show it off to her 16.6 million followers, proud of her famously curvaceous figure.

Quirky style: Nicki has recently designed her own clothing line for Kmart, so that her fans can try out her look for themselves

The superstar wore one of her typically avant garde hair styles, with her blonde locks piled up high on top of her head in one of her trademark looks.
And the rapper seemed to be trying on a number of bridal-style dresses in the snap, posing before zipping herself up into what looked like a wedding gown.
Nicki has recently launched her own clothing range for Kmart, so that her fans can actually try out her eclectic style for themselves.
A recently surfaced video reveals a taste behind-the-scenes of the 30-year-old High School singer's newest clothing collaboration.

Trademark look: Nicki was joined by Scaff as they attended a design meeting for the new collection

She said: 'We're definitely working on the leggings that I love for my body so that women, no matter if they're slim or they're thick or whatever, can feel comfortable.
The Other Woman actress made a point of letting her fans know: 'I'm doing this for women, in general, to feel good and sexy.
It has just been announced that Nicki will join former American Idol co-judge Mariah Carey at the forthcoming BET Awards as she's set to take to the stage.
'Just announced: Mariah Carey, Ciara, India.Arie and Nicki Minaj will perform on the #BETAwards!! June 30 #12days,' tweeted Stephen Hill, the president of the TV network.

Favourite do: Nicki sported the same hair style back in 2011 when she sat front row at Carolina Herrera's New York Fashion Week show, next to Anna Wintour

She's lost her swimsuit! Sports Illustrated model Chrissy Teigan strips down completely nude for GQ magazine

By JADE WATKINS

In the nude: Sports Illustrated model Chrissy Teigan poses completely nude in the July edition of GQ magazine

As a Sports Illustrated model she's no stranger to stripping down.
But in a new photo shoot for famed men's magazine GQ, Chrissy Teigan goes completely nude.
The 27-year-old is pictured wearing nothing but a pair of stilettos in the very racy snap.

Bikini gal: Chrissy has posed in Sports Illustrated's famed Swimsuit Issue four years in a row, in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013
The bikini mode

In the image, Chrissie poses in the great outdoors, leaning against a window pane just managing to cover her modesty by crossing her arms over her breasts.
In one hand she holds a fan and the only item of clothing she is wearing is her dainty pair of beige Marc Jacobs heels.
Chrissie, the fiancee of singer and songwriter John Legend, also lets her natural beauty shine through wearing minimal make up on her complexion and her hair styled in a natural wave.

In love: Chrissy is currently engaged to singer and songwriter John Legend

The bikini model is often seen in next to nothing, posing in Sports Illustrated's famed Swimsuit Issue four years in a row, in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013.
She is also known for her hilarious and often controversial Twitter and Instagram feed.
Earlier this year, she was red flagged on Instagram after posting a nude snap of herself getting a spray tan.

It's war: Earlier this year Chrissy drew the Twitter wrath of troubled Amanda Bynes who called the swimsuit model 'old' and 'ugly' in a defensive and mean-spirited rant

Chrissy tells GQ that it was in fact her mother who took the snap.
'What no one knows is that my mom took it! My mom frickin' threw me under the bus!' she says with a laugh.
More recently Chrissy drew the Twitter wrath of troubled Amanda Bynes who called the swimsuit model 'old' and 'ugly' in a defensive and mean-spirited rant.
Teigen then posted a tweet in which she said it was 'unsettling' that Bynes had any 'support' to retweet her recent bizarre rants.
She followed up with another tweet that read: 'Support people with mental illness, yes. But don't condone/enable scary and poor behavior.'
Bynes, 27, responded by saying that Teigen was 'not a pretty model compared to me' and claimed she was 'far prettier' than the Sports Illustrated beauty.

Kisses all round... and the loudest roar as Andy hugs mum: Judy's tears as Murray is first British man to win Wimbledon in 77 years

Andy Murray beats Novak Djokovic 6-4, 7-5, 6-4 on Centre Court in a scorching Wimbledon men's singles final
Scot, 26, becomes the first British man to win Wimbledon since 1936 and puts himself in line for a knighthood
Embraces his coach, physio, dietician, fitness guru, girlfriend, best friend, father, friends - and then his mother
Girlfriend Kim Sears and Judy Murray among boisterous crowd yesterday as court temperatures nudged 50C

By ROBERT HARDMAN

Our golden boy: Andy Murray ends 77 years of waiting for a British champion as he kisses the Wimbledon men's trophy yesterday after defeating world No 1 Novak Djokovic in straight sets



Game, set, match, championship, sporting history and 77 years of collective national gratitude to the Olympian from Dunblane.
In an epic display of resilience, perseverance and sheer guts, Andy Murray finally filled the greatest void in British sport’s trophy cabinet at 5.24 yesterday afternoon, beating Novak Djokovic 6-4, 7-5, 6-4 to become the first British man to win Wimbledon since 1936 and put himself in line for a knighthood.

Glorious moment for British sport: Andy Murray holds up the Wimbledon trophy after defeating Serbia's Novak Djokovic in the Men's Final today

He nearly committed an equally historic faux-pas at the moment of triumph, having clambered up into the stands to embrace his coach, physio, dietician, fitness guru, girlfriend, best friend, father and a few chums along the way. On his way down again, he remembered that there was someone else seated just behind the players’ box.

So proud of you, son: Andy Murray finally makes it up into the crowd to give mother Judy a hug and a kiss after beating Novak Djokovic...

...she had earlier wept for joy as Murray took the point to become the first British men’s singles winner since 1936

Sheer relief: Andy Murray collapses to his knees after beating Novak Djokovic in three straight sets

To arguably the loudest cheers of the entire day, he returned to hug his mum.
History will record this as a straight sets affair. There was, of course, nothing straightforward in his victory over the world No 1. Time after time, the path to victory was blocked as the indomitable Serbian bounced back and pushed Murray to the limits.

What a match: Great Britain's Andy Murray celebrates beating Serbia's Novak Djokovic on a sweltering day 13 of the Wimbledon Championships in south-west London

At times, the Centre Court temperature was nudging 50C (122F). While that precluded any use of the dreaded sliding roof, which Murray hates, it made for Saharan conditions.
The 26-year-old wasn’t just sweating. Long before the first set was over, his shirt would have breached a hosepipe ban. Up in the Royal Box, even the Duke of Kent, president of the All England Club, had already removed his jacket, whereupon the Prime Minister, Leader of the Opposition and others felt safe to follow suit.


Unbelievable: On his knees, head in hands, Murray is overcome by his achievement at the end of his dramatic match against Novak Djokovic of Serbia

Winners: Andy Murray, left, poses with the Wimbledon trophy alongside Novak Djokovic after he won the Men's singles final match at the All England Lawn Tennis Championships in Wimbledon

He's done it! Spectators watching a TV screen in an outdoor area of Wimbledon celebrate as Andy Murray beats Novak Djokovic of Sebia in the men's singles final

Applause: Murray poses with the Gentlemen's Singles Trophy during the Wimbledon Championships 2013 Winners Ball at the InterContinental Park Lane Hotel

She can't believe it: Kim Sears was ecstatic as Murray won the championship point at the end of an action-packed Wimbledon men's singles final

That's a dress? Courtney Stodden leaves nothing to the imagination in a fishnet body stocking and pasties

By CHELSEA WHITE

Nothing to hide: Courtney Stodden shocked as she headed to a Hollywood club in a porn star inspired look on Saturday night

Oh Courtney Stodden, you've done it again!
The controversial teen reality star has once again ensured tongues are wagging, stepping out in a porn star-inspired look on Saturday night.
Courtney manged to shock even the most blase clubgoer as the 18-year-old and husband Doug Hutchison headed to a fetish club in Hollywood.

Big night out: The 18-year-old and husband Doug Huchison went to fetish club, Bar Sinister

Wearing a completely see through fishnet body stocking, the internet identity showed off almost every inch of herself - including her recently surgically enhanced chest.
The 18-year-old was far from shy despite her more than ample assets threatening to spill over the top of her strapless black 'dress'.
Posing for the camera and shocked onlookers, the sometimes singer stopped short of being completely naked thanks to two well-placed star pasties and a pair of tiny lace and leather French panties, which left her bottom exposed.

Interesting look: Wearing a completely see through fishnet body stocking, the internet identity showed off almost every inch of herself - including her recently surgically enhanced chest

Despite wearing very little, the 18-year-old made sure to accessorise wearing a vinyl hat and matching platform lace up boots as well as a tiny crucifix necklace.
Looking far older than her years, the star left her long blonde hair out and straight and surprisingly wore a modest amount of make-up, going for a nude lipstick and just a light smokey eye.
Clearly her much older husband Doug had hogged all the mirror time.

The 53-year-old got into the Gothic theme of the club, Bar Sinister, donning smudged black eye make-up, lipstick and pink blush.
The Green Mile star seemed extraordinarily comfortable with his new look, smiling and posing for pictures with his wife.
Keeping with the club's dark theme, Doug wore an all black ensemble of black jeans and T-shirt and also added a crucifix necklace.

Brand new: The reality star recently went under the knife to transform her C cups to double Ds

The unusual couple - who have drawn criticism for their large age difference - struggled to keep their hands off each other as they entered the club, with Doug planting a large passionate kiss on his young wife as they arrived.
Inside the couple were just as amorous, with Courtney carefully balancing on her husband's knee while she chatted with birthday boy Plastic Martyr.
The 24-year-old androgynous model, who has been spotted on nights out with Courtney recently, made sure to include the Couples Therapy stars in his birthday celebrations, suggestively feeding Courtney cake.

Feeling like a gooseberry? Bradley Cooper and Gerard Butler bond at Wimbledon leaving Suki Waterhouse out

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Yes! Bradley congratulates Scot Gerard on his countryman's win

Bradley Cooper might be dating Suki Waterhouse, but the Hollywood star's bromance with Gerard Butler took over at the Wimbledon men's singles final.
The two actors wore light coloured suit jackets and spent the time in between serves and rallies having what looked like a jolly good time.
While they laughed and chuckled together, poor Suki, 21, watched from the sidelines as though she wasn't in on the joke.

Strike a pose: Bradley takes a self-portrait of himself and Gerard

LOL: Bradley and Gerard cement their bromance at the Wimbledon men's singles final

Gerard, 43, completed his Wimbledon outfit with some white chinos while Bradley, 38, stuck to matching suit trousers, although together with their retro sunglasses the two wouldn't have looked out of place at the men's final back in 1963 thanks to their vintage looks.
Like Kim Sears, Suki had opted for a mint green colour for the sunny tennis match, clipping her blonde hair back into a cute half up-half down look with her chunky fringe framing her model face.
Being a Scot, Gerard was particularly thrilled when Andy Murray won the tournament and shared his joy with Bradley.

Celebration: The trio stand up to applaud Andy following his win

Three's a crowd? Suki Waterhouse accompanied Bradley to the tennis final too

Gerard and Bradley have been friends since 2010 when they co-presented an award at the Oscars, and obviously wanted to make the most of their time together in London, especially as Butler's girlfriend wasn't in attendance.
At one point, The Hangover star pulled out his Blackberry mobile phone and took a self-portrait of himself and Gerard.

Vintage style: Wearing light-coloured suits and retro frames Bradley and Gerard could have been attended the 1963 men's final

But Brad and Suki weren't the only famous friends the Scottish actor had in the crowd, for he was chatting to Wayne and Coleen Rooney before the match had started.
Clearly there was no hard feelings between Celtic fan Gerard and Wayne whose teams played against each other in a charity match two years ago.
The actor donned his team's famous hooped jersey along with a number of legends and celebrities to raise money for an African charity to end famine.

Finally some attention! Suki leans in to her boyfriend

However the show of love between Brad and Suki was evident earlier in the week, on day 11 of Wimbledon where the two were seen snuggling and kissing as they watched Andy Murray beat Jerzy Janowicz.
The couple have been dating since the start of the year, seemingly meeting for the first time at the Elle Style Awards wear Cooper was presented with an award.
He had previously been rumoured to be dating his Silver Linings Playbook co-star Jennifer Lawrence after splitting with Zoe Saldana, however he laughed off the gossip by telling Nancy O'Dell at the Golden Globes that he 'could literally be her father.'
If that's the case, then he could even be Suki's father, who is two years younger than Jennifer.

Something in your teeth? Bradley chewed on a toothpick during the match

Footy chat: Butler catches up with the Rooneys sat in the Royal box at Wimbledon

Pre-season tips: After playing an ex-footballer in Playing For Keeps, Gerard and Wayne probably had a lot to chat about

Triumphant: Andy Murray holds his trophy high after winning the Wimbledon championship

Gripping: Andy and Novak Djokovic during the men's singles final

I know how to work the camera too, mommy! Miranda Kerr's giggling little man Flynn shows he is a model in the making

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

That's funny! Miranda Kerr's little man Flynn was full of giggles as he ventured out with her supermodel mother on Monday in New York

It looks like little Flynn could be following in his mother Miranda Kerr's very fashionable footsteps.
The two-year-old tot looked like a little model in the making on Monday as he hammed it up for the cameras while out with his mommy in New York.
The youngster was full of giggles, and held on to the cute pose as the paparazzi snapped away.

Of course Miranda, 30, also served up one of her winning smiles, making for yet another picture perfect moment.
Both looked impeccably turned out; Miranda wore a white vest and summery skirt while Flynn was clad in a colourful outfit of blue shorts, green Converse, an orange belt, grey top and cap.
On Saturday Flynn was pictured in the Big Apple with his father Orlando Bloom, 36, but was apparently off duty, looking a little sleepy as he snuggled up to his Lord Of The Rings star daddy.

Holding that pose! The tot looked cute as a button in a colourful outfit of blue shorts, green Converse, orange belt, grey T-shirt and cap, while Miranda was all summery in a white vest top and a multicoloured skirt


Still smiling: Flynn gave Miranda a run for her money in the modelling stakes as he kept on smiling for the cameras

Kerr, who married Bloom in 2010 before giving birth to Flynn the following year, recently revealed she likes nothing more than to relax and let Orlando take charge when they are at home.
Speaking in the swimsuit edition of Net-A-Porter‘s digital magazine The Edit recently, she said: 'I am quite dominant in my career, so what really works for me when I come home, is to relax more into the feminine side.
'If you’re really an alpha female, you don’t allow [your partner] to have the space to feel like the man in the relationship.

Daddy's boy: Flynn spent some time out with father Orlando Bloom on Saturday in the Big Apple

'Maybe I am too traditional, but men feel important when you ask for their help, instead of thinking you can do it all on your own.'
Miranda recently parted ways with Victoria's Secret but insists there was no falling out and it was simply time to move on.
She said: 'Ed [Razek, current model casting agent for the brand] and I are really good friends, and we both decided it was impractical for me to continue. I have such fond memories of working with them.'

I'm off duty: The toddler was a little more shy and retiring during his outing with daddy

It's the cinema, not a club! Courtney Stodden wears inappropriate low-cut dress as she heads to see The Heat with Doug Hutchison

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Date night: Courtney Stodden dressed to the nines as she heads to the cinema with her husband Doug Hutchison on Monday

She may look well beyond her years with her surgically enhanced chest and excessive make-up.
But at the end of the day Courtney Stodden is just like any other 18-year-old who likes nothing more than a cinema date with her boyfriend – although in her case it’s with her 53-year-old husband Doug Hutchison.
And rather than keeping it low-key for sitting in a theatre, the TV personality pulled out all the stops in a very low-cut dress and her usual stripper style heels – as she headed to watch The Heat.

Low cut: The 18-year-old seems to show off more cleavage every time she steps out and didn't disappoint on cinema trip

Wearing the strapless black and white dress, the blonde somehow managed to show off even more cleavage than usual.
It was also rather on the short side, showing off plenty of leg, helped along by her favourite style of platform heels.
Her long blonde hair was straightened falling down her back and she completed her date look with a splash of pink lipstick.

Loved it: After the film Courtney tweeted that she had really enjoyed The Heat

Chatting away on her phone she seemed rather engrossed as her husband Doug strolled alongside her with his arm around her waist.
Following the film the star took to Twitter shared her thoughts on the movie, she wrote: ‘LOVED The Heat. Sandra Bullock & Melissa McCarthy were amazing!’
It was a busy day for Courtney who earlier kept up her parade of skimpy outfits while buying cosmetics with her doting older husband.
The star and her actor husband hit up a MAC cosmetics store in Los Angeles with Courtney in a typical eye-popping outfit.

Protective: As per usual Doug put his arm around Courtney's waist perhaps to stop her from toppling over

Class of '92 re-United: David Beckham enjoys a day in Manchester with former teammates Giggs, Butt, Scholes and the Neville brothers

By KIMBERLEY DADDS

Reunited: David Beckham, Paul Scholes, Nicky Butt, Ryan Giggs, Phil Neville and Gary Neville are spotted heading to Artisan Bar & Restaurant in Manchester on Monday night

He's gone on to become an international superstar and arguably the most famous footballer of all time.
But David Beckham went back to his roots on Monday night as he headed out in his old haunt of Manchester with his former Manchester United team mates Ryan Giggs, Gary Neville, Phil Neville, Nicky Butt and Paul Scholes.
The footballers headed out en masse to catch up and unwind for the evening as they reminisced about the last 22 years.
The six Reds legends had a lot to catch up when they met up at the Artisan Bar & Restaurant on Monday, 22 years to the day since they signed their first professional contracts at Old Trafford.

Catch up: David looked dapper in his smart casual ensemble as he stepped out in a checked shirt, dark jeans and smart shoes

Beckham has since gone on to marry a Spice Girls star, move to Los Angeles and become an international superstar known the world over.
But he looked more than happy to be catching up with his long time pals, showing his down to earth side as he walked along in a checked shirt, dark jeans and smart shoes.
The rest of the men opted for a variety of shirts or T-shirts and jean combos, either with trainers or brown leather shoes.

En masse: The footballers looked in high spirits as they grinned and giggled as they caught up in their old stomping ground of Manchester

They grinned and giggled as they were spotted walking along to the bar to mark the occasion.
Even before United won the FA Youth Cup in 1992 there had been talk of a crop of youngsters to compare with the Busby Babes, who won the first competition in 1953.
Each one was developed by United from a very early age, some signing schoolboy forms with the club at the age of just 14.

A class apart: Harrison (left), with Ryan Giggs, Nicky Butt, David Beckham, Gary Neville, Phil Neville, Paul Scholes and Terry Cooke in 1992

Looking a bit different: Giggs, Butt, Beckham, Gary Neville, Phil Neville and Scholes recreate the above photo with Ferguson ahead of Gary Neville's testimonial match in 2011

The term 'Fergie's Fledglings' came back into common usage during the 1995–96 season, after Ferguson largely used this second group of youngsters coming through to replace a number of distinguished older players who had left the club.
Following a 3–1 opening day away defeat to Aston Villa, pundit Alan Hansen commented on Match of the Day 'You'll never win anything with kids.'

Dapper: The boys headed to the Artisan Bar & Restaurant to enjoy some food and drinks together

The young side, with an average age of just 24, then went on to overturn Newcastle United's 10-point Christmas lead to win the club's third league title in four years. This was followed up by a 1–0 win over Liverpool in the 1996 FA Cup Final to secure the Double. A period of great success followed, the most outstanding triumph being The Treble in 1999.
Many of the so-called 'Class of '92' became regulars for both club and country during this time.

Brandi Glanville had a little too much fun during a bar crawl in West Hollywood on Monday, July 8. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star got drunk with her book agent, Michael Broussard, and several other friends at popular gay bar The Abbey. Glanville used Twitter to invite E! personality Ross Mathews and his partner, stylist Salvador Camarena, to join on on the fun, but the couple passed on her offer.

The Bravo reality star kicked off her night by having dinner with Broussard and a "friend from Texas" named Kevin. "I need to bottle my children's energy," she tweeted, referencing sons Mason, 10, and Jake, 5, with ex-husband Eddie Cibrian. Later that night, one Twitter user offered to buy Glanville a shot of alcohol. "If only I could take one!" she replied. "I'm a wine drinking . . . cheap date! My friends say after one glass my voice gets really high."

The crew then migrated to nearby restaurant Dan Tana's. Glanville got so intoxicated throughout the course of the evening that she struggled to stand up while checking into the London Hotel. The former model even suffered a nip slip and exposed her black thong underwear while stumbling on the pavement. (Glanville's strapless dress appeared to be see-through.)

The single star also attempted to make out with Broussard, who rebuffed her advances.

Glanville -- who is penning a follow-up to her tell-all book Drinking and Tweeting: And Other Brandi Blunders -- explained her behavior via Twitter the following morning. "I got drunk with my gays. It's not murder," she wrote. "Everyone kept sending us drinks. I was being polite."

When one Twitter user suggested her behavior was "maybe not the best look for a mom," Glanville agreed, but argued, "the boys were at their dad's. I'm allowed to f-ck up." Another Twitter user wrote, "I think you're great, but those photos should be a wake up call not to do that again. It happened, learn and move on."

Olympic volleyball gold-medalist Kerry Walsh Jennings shows off latest trophy as she poses NAKED during pregnancy then cradling her newborn for 'The Body Issue'

Kerri Walsh Jennings is the latest sports star revealed to have stripped off for the fifth annual issue of the ESPN Magazine and she's done so during and after her pregnancy
NHRA funny car racer Courtney Force, Denver Nuggets forward Kenneth Faried and New York Mets pitcher Matt Harvey are among the sports stars gracing the pages of this year's issue

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Kerri Walsh Jennings is the latest sports star revealed to have stripped off for this year's ESPN Magazine's 'The Body Issue' - and she's done so during and after her pregnancy

Kerri Walsh Jennings is the latest sports star revealed to have stripped off for this year's ESPN Magazine's 'The Body Issue' - and she's done so during pregnancy and just two months after giving birth to her third child.
The blonde beauty who won gold in women's beach volleyball at the London Olympics proudly appears on one of eight covers with her baby bump, and inside the glossy pages she is shown cradling her adorable newborn daughter Scout.
Walsh Jennings is one of 20 athletes who dare to bare all for the fifth annual 'The Body Issue,' showing the world the incredible physiques required to compete at an elite level.

The Olympic gold-medalist looked incredible after the birth of her adorable child

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick also appeared on one of the eight covers for 2013

With the toned body of a professional athlete, Kerri looked incredible in both images.
But she confessed even she had her fears ahead of the ESPN shoot.
'Driving (to the photo shoot) I was sweating bullets,' she told People magazine. 'I was really, really nervous. I felt exposed, not just physically, but with all of my insecurities.'
She said she felt more comfortable in the pre-baby pictures than the post-baby ones - taken just two months after Scout was born in April.
'I was big and rotund when I'm usually the opposite, but it was really comfortable because I felt almost like I was in costume,' she told ESPN.
'But for the second (shoot), I was two and a half months out from having a baby. I'm supposed to be tight and toned and strong, but I have a lot more work to do.'
However, she said the act of labor made her feel like a super hero and respect her body more than ever.

The heavily tattooed footballer looked perfectly toned as he posed at the beach for the issue

'Having babies - literally delivering a baby - makes me feel like Wonder Woman,' Walsh Jennings told ESPN. 'Everything else seems minor compared to the soul-shaking thing that is labor.
'I'm still a critic of my body - I'm still a woman - but I respect my body more than I have in my life. It's not perfect, but I can't tell you how proud I am of my body.'
She explained to People, however, that she has been working hard since the birth of her daughter to get back into tip-top shape and prepare for her first tournament after becoming a mom for the third time.
'I have been working my butt off literally every single day,' she said.
Other stars revealed to be gracing the pages of the famed issue, which hits newsstands on July 12, include San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, 77-year-old golf Hall of Famer Gary Player and Washington Wizards point guard John Wall.
The appearance of Player is likely to be a polarizing issue. The native South African, Player won nine majors from the late 1950s to late 1970s, including three Masters championships.
Another golfer, Carly Booth, also made her debut in the magazine.

The magazine's most polarizing issue may be including an appearance from 77-year-old golfer Gary Player

The native South African, Player won nine majors from the late 1950s to late 1970s, including three Masters championships

The Scot, who turned 21 this summer, said she grew up working out in a homemade gym built by her father on her family's land.
She has five tattoos, including a Shakespeare quote that reads: 'It is not the stars to hold our destiny, But it is ourselves.'
Gorgeous blond NHRA funny car racer Courtney Force and Denver Nuggets forward Kenneth Faried each grace one of eight covers, while New York Mets pitcher Matt Harvey also shows off his fine form.
Laying provocatively on a huge car tire in the desert, 25-year-old Force is certainly a force to be reckoned with. In another shot, the driver is pictured nude carrying a red gas can down the middle of an empty road.
She told The New York Daily News that she had to train extra hard to keep up with her male counterparts on the track.
'We're driving 10,000 horsepower cars and although I am a female, I have to work extra hard to drive one of these cars to keep up with the men.'
Harvey poses with nothing but his mitt and a baseball in the magazine and a second image shows his sneaking out of a hotel room, naked, with dirty dishes covering his modesty.

You won't tyre of this image: In the fifth annual 'The Body Issue,' blonde NHRA car racer Courtney Force graces one of eight covers

Weapon of choice: Denver Nuggets forward Kenneth Faried shows off his chiseled form as he grips a basketball with his fingertips

Looking glovely: Miesha Tate, the 26-year-old No. 1 bantamweight contender on the women's Ultimate Fighting Championship circuit, posing in nothing but a pair of pink boxing gloves on the beach

The right-hander is used to being in the limelight for his feats on the field, but stripping off for the American public in 'The Body Issue' was another ball game.
'It was kind of nerve-racking at first,' Harvey told The Daily News. 'I've never been fully nude in front of random people like that before - especially with a camera around. But now that it is all done, it was a fun experience.'
Other stars featured this year included Miesha Tate, the 26-year-old No. 1 bantamweight contender on the women's Ultimate Fighting Championship circuit, posing in nothing but a pair of pink boxing gloves on the beach and professional snowboarder Elena Hight, who goes bare down a mountain with just her board.
Basketball player Faried also snagged a cover this year and the 23-year-old, nicknamed the 'Manimal,' shows off his impeccably toned physique again in the spread with his weapon of choice - a basketball - in his grip.

Pitched it just right: New York Mets pitcher Matt Harvey also shows off with his mitt and a baseball in hand

Beyoncé is gilded in glitter... and not much else as she appears nude on cover of Flaunt magazine

By DONNA MCCONNELL

Daring: Beyonce is covered in glitter in a nude cover which appears on Flaunt magazine

Beyoncé Knowles has posed for her raciest cover yet, as the mother of one appeared nude for magazine Flaunt.
With her blushes spared only by a liberal coating of bronze glitter, it is possibly her most revealing photoshoot to date.
The daring editorial by photographer Tony Duran was shot in 2011 as part of her Year of 4 album campaign, but now the pictures have emerged in a stunning editorial in Flaunt magazine.

Thigh Roller: Beyonce posed in denim shorts on July 4th

Another picture from the magazine sees the singer's curvaceous figure lying prone on the floor with the same body paint.
And in other photos she is covered in multi-coloured tribal style make-up with her hair painted gold for the latest issue of Flaunt Magazine.
In the accompanying interview she responds to questions about her status as a gay icon, and shares tidbits with fans about her likes and dislikes.
In answer to the question about why gay men are drawn to the singer like 'gay icons' Judy Garland, Barbra Streisand, Cher, and Madonna.

Beyonce and JAY Z attend JAY Z and Samsung Mobile's celebration of the Magna Carta Holy Grail album

'I'm flattered if I'm in the company of those great women. I think they love that we are bold, unafraid to love, and flaunt our sexuality and strength,' she told Flaunt.
And if you're hoping to enjoy a picnic with the award-winning singer, don't worry it won't break the bank.
In her picnic basket she revealed she'd simply like: 'A cozy blanket, red wine, fruit, '90s R&B playing on my iPod. I don't think you need much else.'
The feature delves into the singer's philanthropic side - she gave a quarter million dollars to Hurricane Katrina relief; helped raise $1 million to aid Haiti after the 2010 earthquake; and recently signed on to Gucci's widely successful Chime for Change campaign to promote equal rights for females.
And it's an area she uses to connect with her fans. While some dismiss this generation's youth as the "me me me" generation and 'slack-tivists' [people who are activists online but not in the real world], Beyonce says her fans show her the opposite of that image.'
She told Flaunt: 'At my concerts I see the opposite. They are engaged in making a difference. We have collected tons of donations that will go towards creating jobs and helping people get jobs.
'That's something I want to celebrate. For Chime for Change we raised awareness and over $4 million in one day for equal rights for girls everywhere.
'So many people at that concert were young. They are more socially responsible than they get credit for.'
Meanwhile pop's ultimate power couple go from strength to strength.

Proud wifey: Beyonce posted a picture of a young Jay Z with the caption 'Platinum #MagnaCarta'

Jay-Z's new track Part II (On The Run) was revealed last week on Thursday, and a solo version of it has popped up on the internet featuring Beyonce's lyrics only and going by the name of On The Run.
The full, original track is a follow-up to the couple's 2003 smash hit collaboration Bonnie & Clyde.
Part II (On The Run) was one of the first tracks leaked from Jay-Z's highly anticipated new album, Magna Carta Holy Grail which was released on July 4th and has sold over a million copies.
Proud Beyonce celebrated the nearly instantaneous platinum certification of Jay-Z's new album by sh uploading one of his old school pictures to Instagram emblazoned with the phrase 'Bow Down'.
Beyonce is still in the midst of her Mrs Carter World Tour.

Love and devotion: Beyonce and Jay-Z's lyrics on the track give goosebumps as they sing of their devotion to one another

That's a little fruity! Woman finds strawberry shaped like a penis in her garden

By NICK ENOCH

Carole Collen, 52, was picking fruit yesterday morning when she discovered the cheekily-shaped crop dangling in her garden

A woman picking strawberries in her garden got quite a shock after finding one shaped like male genitalia.
Carole Collen, 52, discovered the cheekily-shaped crop dangling in her vegetable patch yesterday morning.
The mother-of-two from Dartford, Kent, brought it inside to show her family - and then took a photo so her friends could see it.

Ms Collen, a professional housekeeper, has now popped the sexy strawberry in her fridge to preserve it for a charity raffle

Ms Collen said: 'When I saw it, I just thought "Oh my God".
'It immediately reminded me of a man's bits and I just had to take a photo.
'At first, I thought a snail must have eaten into it, but it hasn't - it's all natural.
'It's funny how a strawberry can grow like that and my family couldn't stop laughing.
'I must admit though, I did think it was a bit small. It would be nice if it grew a bit bigger.'
Ms Collen, a professional housekeeper, has now popped the sexy strawberry in her fridge to preserve it for a charity raffle.

Never looked better! Helena Christensen, 44, shows off the body that made her famous as she strips naked for photo shoot

By IONA KIRBY

She just gets better with age: Helena Christensen, 44, looks fantastic as she bares all for FutureClaw Magazine

She was a top supermodel in the 1990s and two decades later, Helena Christensen has still got it.
The star celebrated her 44th birthday in December and she just gets better with age.
And the Danish beauty is still happy to put the figure Gianni Versace called ‘the best body in the world’ on display.

Helena has stripped naked for a photo shoot in the new issue of FutureClaw Magazine.
She can be seen showing off the body that made her a Victoria’s Secret Angel in all its glory as she perches on a chair.
While the picture of Helena in her birthday suit may be the most daring, there a plenty of extremely sexy photos in the shoot.

Swan song: In another shot the supermodel posed with a swan figurine protecting her modesty

Cheeky: Helena holds a second swan in another picture, while hoisting up her dress to reveal her bare bottom

One snap sees the star wearing just a black strapless bra while protecting her modesty with a swan figurine.
Swans are something of a recurring theme in the images as Helena also holds a white one while hitching up her dress to reveal her bare bottom in one snap.
The beautiful brunette later lounges on a bed in a bra and frilly knickers and squeezes her breasts together while wearing high-waisted knickers and a jewelled bolero.

At home with Helena: The photos were taken in the star's gorgeous New York apartment

Keeping her curves in check: In one sexy shot the Danish beauty squeezes her breasts together

Helena styled herself for the photo shoot, which took place in her New York apartment, in her own clothes.
She graces the cover of the magazine wearing a black slip and planting a kiss on her pet lizard, who belongs to her son Mingus.
Other snaps see the star in various sheer lace dresses with racy lingerie underneath.

Ooh la la: It's not hard to see why Gianni Versace said Helena has the best body in the world

Vintage vixen: Helena styled herself for the shoot, in her own clothes, most of which were vintage

The never married model also took part in an interview with the fashion publication.
She revealed that if a man wants to be her boyfriend, he should ‘Make me laugh, love and feel. And make me feel I do the same for him.’
While many think Helena has the most fantastic body in the world, she believes ‘all the naked women in Helmut Newton’s pictures’ deserve the title.

Sheer delight: Helena is still happy to put the figure that made her a Victoria's Secret Angel on display

‘They were long, lean, toned and yet feminine and curvaceous,’ she explained.
Helena admitted that Marilyn Monroe is one of her favourite female icons and added: ‘Jean Seberg and Jane Birkin are two others.’
She said: ‘Their style is effortless, personal and greatly compliment their personalities.
‘I think Willem de Koenig and Lucien Freud had amazing presence and style, not to mention otherworldly talents.’

She's still got it two decades later: The stunning brunette was a top supermodel in the 1990s

Cover girl: Helena plants a kiss on her son Mingus' pet lizard on the cover of the fashion magazine

Stunning Jennifer Aniston looks as youthful as ever while lounging in bed in new Smartwater advert

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Angelic: Jennifer Aniston poses in bed against a blue-sky backdrop in a new Smartwater advert

She is a huge proponent of a healthy, active lifestyle.
So it's no wonder Jennifer Aniston would opt for water over coffee in the morning - at least according to a new advert.
The 44-year-old looked as youthful as ever as she lounged in bed while holding a bottle of water for her new Smartwater campaign.

Health nut: The 44-year-old is a huge proponent of healthy living, and recently confessed that eating a Big Mac played havoc on her digestive system, pictured in Hollywood in 2011

Jennifer - who has been a spokesperson for the brand since 2007 - is seen sitting up in bed as she stares serenely into the camera, her piercing blue eyes perfectly complementing the blue-sky backdrop dotted with clouds.
Her famous honey-coloured hair falls in waves over her shoulders as she leans forward.
The image - which is Jennifer's first colour ad for the brand - is accompanied by the words, 'Vapor-distilled purity, just like the clouds.'
The Friends star has always been open about her dedication to a healthy lifestyle.
She recently admitted her regret after eating a McDonald's Big Mac.
'Wow, my body did not react well to that!' she recently told New York magazine.

Getting close: Jennifer's fiance Justin Theroux has allegedly agreed to tie the knot in California after the couple couldn't agree on a location, pictured in New York in May

'It was like putting gasoline in a purified system. I am always trying to eat organic and natural foods, so that just made my stomach turn and made me feel terrible.'
Meanwhile, Jennifer's fiance Justin Theroux has allegedly agreed to tie the knot in California.
The high-profile couple were forced to postpone their wedding due to their hectic work schedules, and have been looking at dates in early December.
A source close to Justin, 41, said this was a 'breakthrough' as the 'main source of uncertainty has been removed'.
The source said: 'Jen and Justin have gone back and forth on where to marry and whether to have a destination wedding so many times.
'Jen has always made it clear LA was her first choice and Justin has compromised and agreed to marry in California.
'Justin's reservations with LA are well known and he wanted to marry on the East Coast where his friends and much of his family is based, where he proposed to Jen and where he feels most comfortable.'
Justin is now said to be 'resigned' to a Hollywood wedding - albeit on a smaller scale than most.

Sweeteners in diet drinks 'don't cut your weight' and can be just as harmful as regular versions

Aspartame is put in fizzy products such as Coke, Pepsi and 7UP
Study claims some drinks containing it linked to illness

By FIONA MACRAE

Concerns: Sweeteners used in diet drinks to help weight loss can be just as harmful as full-sugar versions, a food expert has warned. A can of diet Coke is pictured

Sweeteners used in diet drinks to help weight loss can be just as harmful as full-sugar versions, a food expert has warned.
Aspartame is put in fizzy products such as Coke, Pepsi, 7UP and Sprite as a healthier option.
But a study claims that some drinks containing the ingredient are linked to weight-gain, diabetes and heart disease – with just one can a day said to increase risks of high blood pressure.
Professor Susan Swithers said that it was not uncommon for people to be given messages that artificially-sweetened products are healthy.

But she claimed: ‘The data to support those claims is not very strong, and although it seems like common sense that diet sodas would not be as problematic as regular sodas, common sense is not always right.’
Professor Swithers, of Purdue University in Indiana, US, claims that one possible explanation is that having a low-calorie drink or two is treated as a licence to over-indulge in fatty or sugary snacks.
Another is that artificial sweeteners fail to trigger the brain regions and hormones that tell us we are full and so we eat more.

Findings: A study claims that some drinks containing Aspartame are linked to weight-gain

The drinks may also double the odds of developing metabolic syndrome – a cluster of symptoms that greatly increase the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
Writing in the journal Trends in Endocrinology and Metabolism, she said: ‘The current public health message to limit the intake of sugar needs to be expanded to limit intake of all sweeteners, not just sugars.’
But British experts said that diet drinks do no harm.

Sue Baic, of the British Dietetic Association, said: ‘There is a large body of evidence that shows that diet drinks can be really useful.’
Gavin Partington, of the British Soft Drinks Association, said that the professor had produced an opinion piece that ‘runs contrary to decades of scientific research’.

Hunk in trunks! Louis Smith shows off his gymnast physique in skimpy shorts for Gay Times magazine cover shoot

By JOANNA CRAWLEY

Cover star: Louis Smith poses for the new issue of GT magazine, showing off his athletic physique in tiny trunks

He won a legion of fans at the London 2012 Olympic games not to mention during his triumphant turn on the dance floor on last year’s Strictly Come Dancing, and Louis Smith is bound to win a few more devotees with his latest magazine shoot.
The London 2012 champ is Gay Times magazine’s latest cover star, with the gymnast showing readers the incredible physique which earned him those Olympic silver and bronze medals.
The risque shoot sees Louis try out two pairs of tiny trunks to pose topless for the gay title.

Look at that body: Louis Smith talks London 2012 and gay men in sport during his interview with GT magazine

The cover image sees the 24-year-old facing the camera head on in a pair of tight blue swimmers as he flexes his muscles.
Inside the magazine, the athlete changes into a pair of equally small, striped trunks as he’s shown leaning against a wall with his head bowed down.
The athlete contemplates his rise to stardom with the magazine, since becoming one of the poster boys of the Olympic games last year.

Athlete: Louis performs on a pommel horse and signs copies of his new book 'Louis: My Story So Far' earlier this month

Twelve months on from his incredible achievement, Louis reveals that he never entered his sport to reap the benefits of being rich and famous:
'When you first start off doing something like gymnastics your aim is never to become famous and rich. You love the sport, you do the sport, and for me things are progressing beyond that… things are evolving, I guess, things are taking a different route.’

Medal winner: Louis won a bronze and a silver medal at the London 2012 Olympic Games almost a year ago

The gymnast also makes reference to the changing face of sport and how it’s still a tough world for gay athletes:
‘Expectation - no matter what it is - tends to build up pressure and nerves. I had an expectation on me to perform and to achieve certain results in the games, and I think if you’re in a sport that’s deemed as a man’s sport you have that expectation to be straight.’
‘That’s a lot of pressure to carry on your shoulders, so that’s tough.’
Louis adds that he doesn’t think there’s much of an issue for gay men in his sport compared to others though:
‘You know there’s been a lot of people that’ve come out in gymnastics… because you’re always wearing a leotard, it’s a very artistic sport, it’s not rolling around on the floor getting muddy, so I don’t think there’s that much pressure.’

Louis was in a serious relationship with swimming teacher Billie Whyatt, 21 but they parted in April 2011 due to his hectic schedule.
At the time Louis admitted he wanted to concentrate on his training, but was nevertheless ‘heartbroken’ when they split up.
In numerous interviews since the break-up he has talked about how much he misses her, and says that he saw Billie as his ‘future wife.’
Whilst he's still single Louis does admit to one celebrity crush, revealing to GT that if he could be gay with any celeb he would pick family man Will Smith:
‘I got asked this the other day… I said Will Smith. Because he’s very dedicated to his family, he’s very loyal, funny, hard working and talented. So, in the most non-sexual way, it would have to be based on the person.’

‘The Bridge’: FX’s New U.S.-Mexican Border Thriller

By Jace Lacob

FX’s ‘The Bridge,’ about a serial killer investigation that entangles both sides of the U.S.–Mexico border, is very good. If you haven’t seen the Danish-Swedish series it’s based on, you might even think it’s great.

Diane Kruger and Demian Bichir in "The Bridge." (Frank Ockenfels/FX)



Borders are complex signifiers, reinforcing both national and cultural identities as well as distinguishing between outsiders and insiders. Where you are, how you see yourself, depends largely on what side of the wall—visible or invisible—you’re standing on at the moment. Few modern-day national borders are as fraught or as psychologically charged as that between the United States and Mexico, a nearly 2,000-mile line in the sand that is the most frequently crossed international border in the world.

It’s this international way station that acts as the backdrop for FX’s provocative new mystery thriller The Bridge, which is based on the Danish/Swedish drama Broen and which begins its 13-episode run Wednesday night at 10 p.m. The American adaptation of the hit drama series (a ratings success in the Nordic region as well as in the U.K.) moves its crosscultural concerns away from Scandinavia, instead exploring the socioeconomic, psychological, and cultural effects of the border between the U.S. and Mexico and two detectives from either side of the divide.

When the corpse of a woman is discovered in the middle of the Bridge of the Americas (also known as the Cordova Bridge), which links El Paso, Texas with Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, each country claims jurisdiction over the incident. As the bridge is shut down while the identity of the victim is ascertained, detectives Sonya Cross (Diane Kruger) and Marco Ruiz (Demián Bichir) square off over whether an an ambulance—carrying a wealthy American citizen in the throes of a heart attack—should be allowed to cross the border.

It’s the first time that these two disparate people—American and Mexican, female and male, introspective and gregarious—have met, and the collision between Sonya and Marco informs much of the drama to come as they are forced to work together to track down an insidious and intelligent killer. The woman on the bridge, as the detectives come to learn, isn’t just a single corpse: the top half and the bottom half belong to two separate victims, one an American judge and the other an unknown female, one of former murder capital Juárez’s hundreds of slain women in the last 20-odd years, whose continued disappearances and deaths now register barely a mention in the American media.

The Bridge’ uses the personality clash between its lead detectives as stand-ins for the border’s never-ending tug of war.

The killer, it seems, has a need to bring to light some of the shocking inequalities between the U.S. and Mexico, but he is no crusader. Instead, he—or perhaps she—delights in causing mayhem on both sides of the border, illuminating the travesties facing those trapped by the border while simultaneously perpetuating them. He has a drive to create both carnage and impact, and he reaches out to Daniel Frye (Matthew Lillard, appropriately smarmy here), a drug-addicted newspaper reporter working well below his potential, in order to cast his message even wider.

Who the killer is and what he truly wants remains the season’s largest mystery, but as I argued last year about the original Danish/Swedish version, The Bridge isn’t just about the plot to catch a serial killer, but also literal and figurative connections. In the original, Swedish detective Saga Norén (Sofia Helin) and her Danish counterpart, Martin Rohde (Kim Bodnia), are diametrically opposed in every way, but over the course of the 10-episode series, they manage to come together in an unexpectedly emotional manner: “Just as Saga tries to forge an emotional connection with her partner, Martin Rohde (Kim Bodnia), the show itself parses connections between a personal guilt and societal complicity, between the past and the present, the bridges between countries, cultures, and individuals.”

That rubric applies here as well; while FX sent out only three episodes to critics ahead of the show’s launch, it appears fairly early on that the American version of The Bridge similarly intends to take a deep dive into the cultural and psychological undercurrents of the border crossing, exploring the role of drugs and human trafficking on the area, of pimps and cartels, of cops and criminals. Under the aegis of Elwood Reid and Meredith Stiehm, The Bridge uses the personality clash between its lead detectives as stand-ins for the border’s never-ending tug of war.

The early episodes of The Bridge show some minor changes to the overall plot of Broen, ones necessitated by the shift away from the more cosmopolitan Copenhagen/Malmö border to the troubled one between El Paso and Juárez. One subplot exchanges homeless people for illegal immigrants crossing into the United States. Changes to the serial killer plot are fairly cosmetic, but the cultural divide between the U.S. and Mexico, far more vast than the relatively minor gap between the two wealthy Nordic social democracies in the original, provides even more thematic depths. Those murdered girls of Juárez loom large here, informing the story in unexpected and challenging ways. We keenly feel the sense of complicity on both sides, symbolized by those many graves.

Having said that, The Bridge has quite enough suspense and tension within make the American adaptation worth checking out. As the action shuttles back and forth between El Paso and Juárez, the cast of characters widens to include all manner of colorful and troubled individuals, those dreaming of better lives and those escaping their hellish pasts. Like its predecessor, The Bridge looks to find ways of connecting and understanding those whose viewpoints are markedly different from our own.

That's one way to keep cool! Skinny Lady Gaga steps out in just her bra in balmy New York... then airs her boots out of the car window

By AMELIA PROUD

Forgot something? Gaga stepped out in sultry in this barely decent ensemble

It's crazy hot in New York at the minute, with temperatures balancing out around the 90 degrees fahrenheit mark.
But even so, Lady Gaga perhaps took her attempts to cool to the extreme by stepping out in a tiny black lacy bra.
The anti-wallflower wore just a frilled balconette bra with a tiny black skirt and a pair of her trademark boots, and if she wasn't Lady Gaga, she may well have been pulled aside for flashing.

Barely decent: Lady Gaga stepped out in New York on Thursday just wearing her bra, a tiny skirt and boots

There are different rules for the 27-year-old star, however, so she was allowed to flash away as she strutted down the New York sidewalk.
Then, perhaps unsure as to whether she'd garnered enough attention, Gaga hopped into her car and stuck her giant boots out of the window to air.
For good measure, she shoved a cheeky monkey toy up into the car window.

Put some clothes on! Gaga kept her cool but the bra was a bit too much, and also too little

What a transformation: Gaga, sucked in stomach or no, is much thinner now than she was

Gaga set to perform first major gig since surgery at the iTunes festival in London.
Gaga was in a wheelchair and recuperating since undergoing hip surgery in February.
According to Britain's Sun newspaper, Gaga's team are spending £500,000 on the production at the iconic venue.
A source told The Sun: 'The gig in Camden has a huge budget and is likely to be the first anyone sees or hears of her album. The Haus Of Gaga team have been working in secret on costumes and stage sets for the show from their base in Paris.'


Flashing the flesh: Nothing is left to the imagination when it comes to Gaga

Black is back: The colour combo was tasteful at least

Airing herself: Gaga thrust her boots out of the open window, showing her bruise off in the meantime

Wacky: Gaga then thrust this beguiling little fellow into the spotlight

'Gaga’s dancers have also been rehearsing but she’s only told her closest friends about the new direction she’s taking. The music is going to be a big departure and Gaga’s dreamed up a whole new image for the album.'
A spokesperson for the singer was unavailable for comment.
The show will be part of the iTunes festival and Gaga will join the likes of Justin Timberlake, Kings of Leon, Arctic Monkeys and Elton John over the event's 30 nights of shows.
Gaga has sparked speculation she has recently undergone a nose job, after it appeared more streamlined at a recent Gay Pride event.
The singer took to the stage to speak at the celebration in New York and her nose appeared to be slimmer and smaller.

Kate on a birthing ball, yoga with Pippa and Wills at birthing classes: The preparations for the birth of the royal baby (as imagined by celebrity photographer Alison Jackson)

By KATY WINTER

With the birth of the royal baby imminent it would appear that the lookalike Prince William and Duchess of Cambridge are keen to fit in some last minute preparations

There can be few pregnancies in history that have been subject to as much scrutiny as that of the Duchess of Cambridge.
While the world has been following the Royal family's new golden couple since the moment they met, Kate's pregnancy with their first child is one that they have managed to keep remarkably private.
Little is known of the planning, preparation and day-to-day build up for the royal birth that is going on behind the guarded palace walls.

Many couples chose to use a gym ball during labour to ease contraction pains- and it seems the lookalike William isn't afraid to be a hands-on birthing partner

But now, thanks to famous look-a-like photographer Alison Jackson we can catch a glimpse of what the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge might be doing.
Like most expectant couples, Alison has her 'William and Kate' attending sonogram appointments and birthing classes, while sister 'Pippa' is available to step in to help with yoga to prepare the mother-to-be's body for the arduous task of labour.

Kate and younger sister Pippa lookalikes keep fit by hula-hooping together, which also helps strengthen the back and core; essentially in pregnancy

The two girls are also snapped indulging in spa treatments and even getting a spray tan to keep looking their best, before the couple pick out baby clothes with a woman who looks remarkably like Queen Elizabeth.

The sex of the royal baby is not thought to be known, even to the Duke and Duchess

The couple have said that they want to be 'hands on' parents, and it seems the lookalike William is starting before the child is even born

'William' lookalike reads up on what to expect once the little one arrives, while 'the Queen' dusts up on the latest issue of Horse and Hound
