Jennifer Lopez beats Anthony split blues by partying

Jennifer Lopez has chased away the blues caused by her recent split from husband Marc Anthony, by celebrating her 42nd birthday in Miami.

Lopez and her entourage of 16, which included her mother, sister, manager and stylist, enjoyed a lavish dinner at Scott Conant’s restaurant, Scarpetta, inside the Fontainebleau hotel

“Jennifer looked radiant in a purple and silver evening dress,” People magazine quoted a source as saying.

“And when they brought out her birthday cake after the meal, she began to sing. She was very happy. The whole group had a blast, staying for hours. They closed down the restaurant,” the source added.

Lopez and seven others had also enjoyed a pre-birthday dinner at the Wine Cellar of the Forge on Miami Beach.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Transforms for T-3

UK model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley knows how to use her assets to charm her way into replacing Megan Fox in the upcoming “Transformers 3″ sequel. She’ll maintain Fox’s hot quotient and bring some English sophistication to the role as well. But can she act, and does it matter?

 

Huntington-Whiteley, 23, is best known for her work for Victoria’s Secret swimsuit and lingerie catalogs, but in her short career, she debuted on the New York runways in 2004, she’s represented top brands.

She’s appeared in campaigns for Abercrombie & Fitch, Bloomingdale’s, Clinique, DKNY, French Connection, L.A.M.B., Pepe Jeans, Shiatzy Chen, Ralph Lauren, and Top Shop among others.

She started modeling for Victoria’s Secret two years later and was named “Model of the Year” by Vogue in 2009. She has a sultry sexiness that combines wide innocent eyes with luscious pouty lips.

But can she act?

She will be playing the lead opposite Shia LaBeouf . The film is set to debut on July 1, 2011.

But can she act?

Beyond dating 44-year-old French actor Olivier Martinez, and after him, hooking up with English actor Jason Statham, 37 in April, the answer would be no. At least she has no acting credits to her name.

But in the Transformers movies the CGI generated machines are really the stars, and no one would expect Huntington-Whiteley to be anything more than eye candy.

Miley Cyrus' Most Sexually Charged Song Yet (Hear it!)

Teen sensation Miley Cyrus, who has pledged to remain a virgin until she marries, sings her most sexually provocative song yet, dueting with heavy metal bad boy Bret Michaels on newly released single “Nothing to Lose.”

                                  

Miley, who just turned 17 and is still a minor, sings seductively with the former heavy metal Poison frontman, who is 46, old enough to be her father. Here’s one verse from the song:

“Tonight in the darkness there’s nothing to loseWe both know better than this, still we can’t resistSlowly get undressed.”

Miley is also recording a cover of Poison’s hit rock ballad “Every Rose Has its Thorn.”

Beside being underage, Cyrus’ provocative episodes, which range from racy photos leaked onto the Internet to near nipple slips in public, fly in the face of her professed born-again Christian, family values philosophy.

Miley’s free-spiritedness has been lauded by some and condemned by others, but she appears to be showing no signs of curbing her behavior.

To the contrary, her overt sexuality is becoming more evident with every appearance, whether its her risque pole dance move at the American Music Awards, or the sexy bikini and wet tee-shirt shots in her new movie, “The Last Song.”

Among the lyrics of the song:

So close your eyes just for tonight,She says, let this be all right, all right And then she falls down on me, So close I can feel your breathe Tonight in the darkness with nothing to lose If the truth is all we can see, If I fall for you,Would you fall for me.

Selena Gomez, Glamour Beyond Her Years in Elle Mexico (photo)

Selena Gomez’s continued rise as a fashion icon got another push from the Mexican edition of Elle magazine, which features her on the cover of its August issue. She exudes glamour and sophistication beyond her years.

The magazine declares Gomez”La Chica del Momento,” literally translated Girl of the Moment, but really it means she’s the latest Hollywood “It” girl.

“Minimalistic,” is how her stylist, Basia Richards describes her style.

Despite her baby-faced boyfriend, Justin Beiber, Gomez has taken on all of the trappings of womanhood.

She just celebrated her 19th birthday and her transition to an adult career seems on track.

She’s photographed wearing a classic, Altuzarraa ensemble, wide-rim Scala Pronto hat and a Gucci belt with tassels, not exactly the wardrobe of a teenager.

Her hair is in curls and her makeup is neutral.

Gomez released her third album, When the Sun Goes Down, in June, and her new movie “Monte Carlo” hit theaters this month.

She’ll launch her “We Own the Night Tour” in just two days.

While music is on her mind at the moment, Gomez has been bitten by the acting bug. She starred in the Disney series “Wizards of Waverly Place,” since 2007.

Check out her feelings on the subject below:

Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart: Full Comic Con Interview (watch)

Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner provided some revealing insights into the filming of “Breaking Dawn, Part 1,” at Comic Con.

Ashley Greene, Nikki Reed, Elizabeth Reaser, Booboo Stewart and Julia Jones were also on hand at the convention.

One of the highlights of “Breaking Dawn” events was the extensive news conference involving the Twilight trio.

Kristen, for example, explained the lengths the movie company went to keep Bella’s wedding dress a secret.

“The wedding was secret-service style. It was insane. The crew was completely inconvenienced and grumbling around set,” she said at the “Breaking Dawn” press conference.

“You don’t understand what this means to us,” she said she told the security team. “If this dress gets on the Internet, I’ll die.”

The birth of Bella’s half-human, half-vampire baby was another key movie scene that produced an unexpected reaction.

“We had an animatronic baby, the scene where [Bella] had to be introduced to the baby for the first time,” Pattinson explained during Thursday’s press conference.

“[The puppeteer] is sweating right below my eyeline, trying to [reach] up to get the [animatronic baby's] hand up to touch your face,” Stewart said.

“And then it sticks to your hair and pulls a little bit and you’re like, ‘Ew, get that thing off me! Get me a real baby, this is ridiculous!’ ” she said. “And it had hair!”

“If you’ve ever seen a baby with a wig on …,” Pattinson offered. “[It] looked like a little troll on a stick.”

Film trailer: Robert Pattinson in 'Bel Ami'

The trailer for Bel Ami, adapted from the Guy de Maupassant novel and starring Robert Pattinson (The Twilight Saga), hit the web July 23.

After his post-Twilight performance as a human in Water for Elephants, Pattinson stars in another romantic period drama.

The footage follows Pattinson as a young man in 1890s Paris who moves from pauper to power through his charms and his seduction and manipulation of wealthy women and wives with influence.

The film costars Uma Thurman (Kill Bill), Kristin Scott Thomas (Nowhere Boy), Christina Ricci (Monster) and Colm Meaney (The Damned United).

The film is directed by British theater director/writer Declan Donnellan and co-artistic director/designer of the well-respected Cheek by Jowl Company Nick Ormerod.

Without a release date, the IndieWire's Playlist column suggests the film may premiere at the 2011 Toronto Film Festival in September.

Udita will always be my support system

Actor Udita Goswami and filmmaker Mohit Suri split after she moved to Los Angeles. But the Murder 2 director insists she will always be his support system. Ask him if they are still in touch and he says: “Yes. She even stood by me after my father’s demise last month. We will always share a great rapport.”

Apparently, long distance became too much to handle for the couple. Last year, it was reported that Mohit was all set to marry Udita, but only if his film, Crook: It’s Good To Be Bad, turned out to be a success. Unfortunately, the Emraan Hashmi-starrer didn’t work at the box office.

“I don’t want to get into details about what went wrong. But the biggest problem is that we’re both very busy with our respective careers. Still, she has been extremely happy about the success of Murder 2. Udita will always be my support system,” says Suri.

“Finally, the feeling of delivering a big hit has started to sink in. I am, of course, excited about it. I lost my father last month. But I really wish he had seen my success too,” says the filmmaker, who has directed films like Kalyug (2005), Woh Lamhe (2006) and Raaz: The Mystery Continues (2009) in the past.

“I feel such a success (Murder 2) was long overdue. I have been making films since 2005 and although some have worked, I never witnessed such a euphoric response to any of them,” says Suri, who feels the film has done well due to the positive attitude of a few people involved with Murder 2.

“I am really thankful to Emraan, Mukeshji and Bhattsaab. I was always confident about my work,” he says, adding that Murder 3 is surely happening. “We are still working on the script. But I can promise more blood, gore, sensuality and drama in the next part,” he laughs.

“Emraan will surely be a part of it because people associate Murder with him, but no leading lady is fixed yet. For us, the script is the most important entity,” says Mohit, adding that he is going to take a break now. “I plan to visit all my school friends in the US before starting work again,” he wraps up.

She's got legs! Former Disney star Demi Lovato shows off her killer curves in leather short shorts

Teen star Demi Lovato is no slouch when it comes to her travel style.

The singer and actress put a fashionable foot forward today as she arrived at LAX rocking edgy yellow heels paired with black leather shorts, a bright yellow platforms and a floppy black hat.

Demi, 18, peered through her sunglasses and waved at the crowd of photographers as she strutted past them to check in for a flight to Florida.

Leggy lady: Demi Lovato showed off her toned figure as she arrived at Los Angeles International airport today wearing short shorts

Then the former Disney star took to Twitter to let her fans know where she was going by tweeting: 'Getting on a plane, Miami here I come!'

It's been a tumultuous past year for the teenage star, but her music career appears to be unaffected.
Her newest single, Skyscraper just debuted at number ten on the Billboard Hot 100 song chart, making it her most successful début yet.

Friendly: Demi waved to photographers as she headed to catch her flight

According to Billboard.com, the ballad is also the second most downloaded single after LMFAO's Party Rock Anthem.

Demi, who has been working hard to promote her new music, is savouring her success after entering a treatment centre last November in Illinois.

The star recently revealed the extent of the problems, which led to her seek treatment.
'I became like a little brat on set,' she told Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS FM radio show earlier this month.

Fashionable: Demi accented her look with a black hat and edgy jewellery

'I just had so much growing up to do, not that I ever intended to be that way. I just had so much going on in my head. It all just boiled up and I ended up doing things that I regret to this day.'

Demi ended up seeking help after allegedly punching a back up dancer during the South American leg of the Jonas Brothers tour.

'It was the elephant in the room,' she told Seacrest of her eating and cutting disorders.

Her biggest début:  Demi's new single Skyscraper just debuted in the top ten

'Everyone knew about it. It was affecting every aspect of my life. I was cranky, I was irritable, I was not pleasant really to work with,' she said.

The 18-year-old is now rumoured to be single after reportedly dating the much older 36-year-old Ryan Phillippe for 'several months'.

However, according to the New York Daily News, the pair's fledgling relationship suffered when Phillippe's ex-girlfriend Alexis Knapp gave birth.

'It was really hot and heavy for a while,' a source told E! Online, but the arrival of Knapp's now two-week-old baby Kai 'kind of threw her for a loop'.

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

She already wears Princess Diana’s sapphire and diamond engagement ring. Now the Duchess of Cambridge has another heirloom from her husband’s late mother.

Prince William has given her a pair of Diana’s favourite earrings, also in matching sapphire and diamonds.

Kate, 29, has given them her own style twist, having the studs remodelled into drop earrings.

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

A courtier is quoted as saying: ‘Now they’re married, William wanted her to have some of his mother’s favourite pieces.’ 

William said he proposed to Kate with Diana’s 19-carat engagement ring so his mother could be part of the occasion.

 The Duchess of Cambridge wore them for the first time when she watched Andy Murray from the Royal Box at Wimbledon last month and also wore them during the couple's official visit to Canada and America.

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

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

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

One is wheel-y not amused: Pippa Middleton’s fancy BMW sports car is clamped

Pippa Middleton may have friends and family in high places, but that hasn’t prevented the sister of the Duchess of Cambridge having her car clamped.

It’s a humiliation that thousands of ordinary people face every day and will probably have come as quite a shock to the shapely 27-year-old, whose life lately has centred around looking fabulous at swanky events and adorning magazine covers.

According to eyewitnesses, Pippa’s £40,000 BMW Z4 soft-top was immobilised by a bailiff in a street in London’s fashionable Chelsea, where she has a flat. 

Locked: The bailiff sets to work clamping Pippa's flash BMW in posh Chelsea, where she lives

It shall not be moved: Pippa's Z4 is going nowhere after authorities immobilised it

We’re sure that Pippa will be driving around again soon. However, it may not be in the Z4 for very much longer, because according to reports the royal sister-in-law may be getting an upgrade to an armoured car. 

 While Kate is guarded round-the-clock by the Royal Protection Squad, Pippa’s security arrangements are more low-key.

Driven to humiliation: Pippa has suffered the embarrassment of having her car clamped 

She does carry a panic alarm linked to the police, but her parents are said to be worried that the hugely popular party planner may be attacked by a crazed fan or even kidnapped and want her protection beefed up.

Millionaires Michael, 61, and Carole Middleton, 55, want to buy Pippa a £95,000 bomb-proof Audi or BMW according to The Sun.

A source told the paper: ‘Carole and Michael have taken a raft of measures following advice from one of William's most trusted bodyguards. 

‘Pippa's car will have all the latest security devices, including armour plating. It will be bomb proof.’

Since attending the Royal Wedding in April as a bridesmaid to her sister, Pippa has become something of a national obsession, not least because of her much celebrated derriere.

A Facebook page has even been set up called the Pippa Middleton Ass Appreciation Society, which urges internet users to show their appreciation for the ‘Minxy Middleton’.

One fan, MeaganR, wrote on the page: 'I want a bum like Pippa Middleton- anyone else agree after seeing her in that dress!?'

There is also a spoof Twitter account with over 3,000 followers for Pippa’s assets called @pippasass, which after the royal wedding jokingly asked: ‘'Wow what a wedding. What did people think of my Bum?’

She’s sure to find that particular profile a bit cheeky – along with the bailiff who clamped her car.

'Victoria and I swap baby tips all the time,' says new mother Emma Bunton as she poses with baby son Tate

Emma Bunton has told how she and fellow ex-Spice Girl Victoria Beckham have been swapping baby tips after becoming mums again just weeks apart.

The 35-year-old - once known as Baby Spice - gave birth to Tate Lee Jones in May.

‘As soon as we can possibly meet up, we will. But for the moment we’re making do with emails,’ Miss Bunton told Hello! magazine. 

Baby joy: Emma Bunton poses with her new son Tate in this photo from Hello magazine. The Spice Girls star also revealed she and bandmate Victoria Beckham have been swapping baby tips

The singer lives in the UK while Mrs Beckham had her fourth child, daughter Harper Seven, two weeks ago in Los Angeles.
 

The full interview appears in this week's Hello!

‘We’ve been swapping bits of advice and photos and sharing our excitement,’ added Miss Bunton, who also has a three-year-old son, Beau, with partner Jade Jones, 32.

The Dancing On Ice judge said she shares a strong bond with her former band mates – especially now they are all mothers.

‘The first bouquets through the door were from Victoria, Geri (Halliwell) and Mel C. They came with little notes and that is always special to me, to get those from the girls.

'The relationship we girls have will always be special. Now our kids are friends too and as they grow, it will be wonderful to watch them all and the different stages in their lives.'

Miss Bunton gave birth to Tate at London's Portland Hospital on May 6 and said she and Jones both sobbed when they held the 7lb bundle.

She said: 'Mum was busy snapping away with her camera and there is one shot of the three of us: Tate is in my arms and I have tears pouring down my face, Jade is kissing me and he's streaming with tears. It was very emotional!'

After originally announcing her pregnancy last November, the Dancing On Ice judge revealed in February she was expecting another boy with Jones.

And in January, the couple revealed they were engaged after 11 years together.

Spice network: Victoria has just given birth to daughter Harper, and Emma said she is looking forward to seeing their children grow up together

Miss Bunton has previously spoken of her fears she would never conceive after being diagnosed with endometriosis when she was 25.

She said while pregnant with Beau: 'I remember the doctor saying at the time, "Fifty per cent of women with endometriosis go on to have children." I thought, "Only 50 per cent..." It scared the life out of me. I was frightened.

'I've been so worried for such a long time that I might not be able to be a mum.'

The full interview is in the new edition of Hello! magazine, out now.

Friends forever: Emma revealed the girls are still close friends and see each other as often as they can

Final Days of filming Ra.One

Red Chillies team along with director Anubhav Sinha, have been working day and night to complete their magnum opus Ra.One, starring Shah Rukh Khan, Kareena Kapoor and Arjun Rampal. With the final days of shooting commencing, there is tons of excitement on set.

Filmfare correspondent Ashwini Deshmukh was lucky enough to be on the sets during filming and in her excitement could not stop herself from tweeting the latest scoop. SRK being the showman that he is was swinging and twirling in mid-air for his various stunt performances, as the crowds of people watching held their breath. Risky business our superstars have to indulge in! Shah Rukh was also seen in a completely different costume from his regular G.One outfit seen on the promotional posters. Hmm, interesting. Wonder what the new look is all about?

Ashwini shared that SRK has an amazing amount of knowledge when brainstorming with director Anubhav Sinha and his team about each forthcoming shot they need to take. SRK advised the team in regards to high-end appliances, gadgets and software that are to be used for shots. 

Not only does he have loads of knowledge, but he has some wonderful friends. He thanked Sanjay Dutt and Priyanka Chopra for doing cameos in Ra.One. “3 days of hectic shoot…last 4 days to go. My heartfelt thanks to Sanjay Dutt and Priyanka Chopra for being so wonderful on the sets. Bless you.” And as if that wasn’t thanks enough, he even gifted Sanjay a Ducati bike and Priyanka an acoustic guitar!

Tarun Mansukhani of Dostana directing fame assisted in directing Ra.One. Tarun wanted a break from scripted and was interested in gaining experience working on an action flick. Ra.One director Anubhav Sinha graciously accepted Tarun’s offer to assist when he found out he was interested. Tarun was so excited he tweeted “This time I’m gonna get the stunt team to put me on a rig! I wanna know what its like to flyyyyy like a super hero!” Do we sense a passion for action and adventure?

And the talk of B-Town is the fabulous metallic grey bike G.One rides in certain scenes of the film. As SRK tweeted, it was a “cool futuristic bike” used for a thrilling action sequence. We look forward to seeing it on the big screen!

And of course, the notoriously late Shah Rukh Khan tweeted that he was late arriving to set and that the team of the film is “too patient” with him. He concluded with SRK brand humour, signing off with “have to work before they fire me from the job”. As if there could be a Ra.One without its G.One!

But nothing melted our hearts like this tweet from SRK. “Surrounded by blue cloth. doing jumps not to prove I am a hero but cos I believe i can fly…I believe cos all of you make me believe that.” Too sweet, na?

With Anubhav Sinha tweeting “Another set wrapped today. Moving on to the last set the day after. Been busy, will write in detail after final wrap.” we are certain that fan excitement has shifted into high gear. We cannot wait to see what the Ra.One team has come up with!

Ra.One to release this year on October 26.

Bipasha not too happy with John

While John Abraham used Simi Garewal's show Simi Selects India's Most Desirable to extend an olive branch to his ex Bipasha, Bipasha hasn't quite taken to it.

The actress had her say courtesy her Twitter page: "I don't need to be on a talk show to prove my goodness! My relationship with John Abraham is over for good - for reasons known best to the both of us."

She further added to her rant, saying, "What happens between two people is supposed to stay between the two when it's over, that's the dignity that I have grown up with and the respect I deserve."

John thought that a public outpouring on Simi's show was the best way to let Bipasha know how sorry he feels about the big bad break up. So he re-shot the show, poured his out heart out and said it like he felt it and then 12 minutes of the segment were cut at the editing table.

On the other hand, Bipasha may be linked to all the single hotties out there - from Rana Daggubati to Josh Hartnett and even Shahid - but she knows what she wants. "Waking upto stories about my life everyday is no fun! Making me sound tragic when I am in a happy place is not ok with me!"

It's clear that Bipasha is single, ready to mingle and loving it, but is John regretting the break-up or envying her happy place. That is something we'll never know. 

Amy Winehouse is believed to have died from a mix of ecstasy and alcohol

The tragic singer died at her home in North London yesterday (23.07.11) and although police have said it would be "inappropriate" to speculate before the post-mortem is carried out, friends believe a "dodgy" ecstasy tablet killed her.

A pal told the Sunday Mirror: "She has spent the last seven days on a massive bender and people were saying she's going to drink herself to death. It was an ecstasy overdose. She could do cocaine until the cows come home. But this was obviously a dodgy pill."

MTV producer Danny Panthaki claimed his friend's boyfriend was one of the first policemen at the scene and backed up the overdose story saying: "My friend's boyfriend is a policeman and he's the one who found Amy Winehouse dead. Overdosed on ecstasy."

Although police and ambulances reported to the scene within five minutes of the emergency call being made, the 27-year-old singer was dead when they arrived.

Superintendent Raj Kohli, of London's Metropolitan Police said: "No post mortem has taken place and it would be inappropriate to speculate on a cause of death.

"On arrival, officers found the body of a 27-year-old woman who was pronounced dead at the scene. Next of kin have been informed, and we can confirm it was Amy Winehouse. The death of any person is a sad time for friends and family, especially in the case of a person such as Amy Winehouse, who was known both nationally and internationally".

Although her parents Janis and Mitch Winehouse knew their daughter was struggling with addiction, the news has taken them both by surprise.

Janis - who admitted thinking it was "only a matter of time" before her daughter died explained about seeing the Rehab singer the day before her death: "She seemed out if it but her passing so suddenly still hasn't hit me. Amy always said 'I love you mum' when we would say goodbye. They are the words I will always treasure. I'm glad I saw her when I did."

Amy's devastated father Mitch - who was on a plane to New York to prepare for a performance in the city tomorrow (25.07.11) when news of his beloved daughter's demise was revealed - spoke of his heartbreak from the city before getting the first plane back to London.

He said: "This isn't real, I'm completely devastated. I'm getting the next plane back. I'm coming home. I have to be with Amy. I can't crack up for her sake. My family need me. I'm devastated, it's such a shock."

Kelly Osbourne paid tribute to "best friend" Amy Winehouse

Kelly Osbourne has paid tribute to "best friend" Amy Winehouse, following her tragic death earlier today (23.07.11).

The 27-year-old British singer was found dead at her London home at around 4pm local time and Kelly - who enjoyed a close friendship with Amy - is struggling to come to terms with the news.

She tweeted: "I can't even breathe right my now I'm crying so hard i just lost 1 of my best friends. I love you forever Amy & will never forget the real you. "i miss my friend! im going to be off twitter for a while thank you for all your support! #Pray4Amy (sic)!

Fellow singer Nicki Minaj also took to the micro-blogging website to express her shock, writing: "Please tell me Amy Winehouse didn't die. Is this some sick joke?"

Rihanna said she was "heartbroken" by Amy's death but hopes her music legacy will live on.
She tweeted: "I am genuinely heartbroken about this #DearAmy.

"#DearAmy U made a MAJAH impression on this industry and throughout the world, in such a short space of time...too short! #ICONSneverDIE (sic)"

Amy's spokesman Chris Goodman released a statement, saying: "Everyone who is involved with Amy is shocked and devastated. Our thoughts are with her family and friends. The family will issue a statement when ready."

The Rehab hitmaker - who had a history of drug addiction and heavy drinking - was discovered at her north London home by emergency services, and her death is currently being treated as "unexplained".

A police statement said: "Police were called by London Ambulance Service to an address in Camden Square NW1 shortly before 16.05hrs today, Saturday 23 July, following reports of a woman found deceased.

"On arrival officers found the body of a 27-year-old female who was pronounced dead at the scene.

"Enquiries continue into the circumstances of the death. At this early stage it is being treated as unexplained."

A section of the road where Amy lived was cordoned off as journalists, local residents and fans gathered at the police tapes.

Amy won widespread acclaim with her 2003 debut album, Frank, but it was 2006's Back to Black which brought her worldwide stardom, winning five Grammy Awards. However, she had a high-profile battle with drink and drugs and had several stints in rehab, including one last month.

She also had a troubled marriage to Blake Fielder-Civil, who she divorced in summer 2009 after two years.
