Rachel Weisz poses with a lion

Bond girl Rachel Weisz posed with a live lion for Bulgari's latest fragrance campaign. 

Clutching a bottle of Jasmin Noir scent and draped in diamonds, the 41-year-old flashed some smouldering looks alongside a live lion, one of the emblems of the luxury label. 

The daring pictures were shot by photography duo Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott who recently snapped Naomi Campbell for Gucci. 

Preview images have been released following the news that the actress has been chosen as the face of the brand's Jasmin Noir fragrance that will launch this August. 

"Rachel Weisz embodies the quintessential contemporary woman. Her beauty, portrays simple yet extremely intriguing femininity," the Daily Mail quoted a spokesperson for the brand as saying. 

This collaboration comes just weeks after news of her secret, New York wedding to 'Bond' star Daniel Craig emerged.

Nicole Scherzinger: "I used to be so insecure"

Former Pussycat Dolls reveals that she was a "geek" while growing up

She became an instant sex symbol when she launched to fame as the lead singer of girlband the Pussycat Dolls, but Nicole Scherzinger says she was actually a "geek" before she became a popstar.

The 33-year-old, who recently replaced UK singer Cheryl Cole as a judge on the US 'X Factor', reveals that she struggled with low self-esteem while growing up.

"I was a geek in high school. I only got rid of of my glasses when I joined the [Pussycat] Dolls," she says in an interview with InStyle magazine.

"I didn’t have great self-esteem growing up. I was so insecure. I had a really sheltered life, a strong Catholic family. The only place I opened up was when I was singing, performing."

The Pussycat Dolls split up last year and the star is now going it alone, she recently released her debut solo album 'Killer Love.'

Nicole, who is dating 26-year-old Formula 1 racer Lewis Hamilton, shows just how flexible she is in a stunning photo-shoot for the fashion magazine where she is pictured doing the splits.

In a second shot she is pictured staring at the camera seductively while wearing a low-cut white outfit.

The 'Hold Your Breath' singer admits that she works hard to maintain her figure.

"My physique definitely takes work," she says. "But I fluctuate... Sometimes I'm in superhero mode and I'm all buff and lean, but at the moment I'm a little more relaxed."

The full interview is available in the latest edition of UK InStyle

Kate Moss' teenage sister is model in the making

Charlotte Moss, the teenage sister of Kate Moss has been lauded as a star in the making after she was spotted at her sister's wedding recently. 

Charlotte, 13, known affectionately as Lottie, could follow in her supermodel sister's footstep, after agent Carol White, who famously turned down Kate, said that she is a "beautiful and fresh" face for the future.
"Lottie has wonderful features and could definitely make a model" the Daily Express quoted White, who founded Premier Models as saying.

However, the youngster's mother, Inger said that Charlotte is still too young.
"Lottie is too young. When she is old enough, it will be her decision," Inger said.
The youngster and Kate, 37 share the same father in Peter Moss, whose second wife Inger is Lottie's mother.

Kristen Stewart loves her risk-taking co-star

Kristen Stewart and Garrett Hedlund star in "On the Road."

While Robsten are still going strong, Robert Pattinson had better watch his back because Kristen Stewart is totally bonding with another costar, Garrett Hedlund. 

"They became really close friends after filming in 'On the Road,'" a source close to the pair tells us of the gorgeous actors, whose new flick, based on the famous Jack Kerouac book, is due out later this year. 

But despite having worked together, what keeps these two good pals hanging out afterwards?  

"They have very similar personalities," our expert insider reveals. "Garrett is a free spirit who is a risk taker, and so is Kristen. Garrett rides a motorcycle, and Kristen is totally into it. They both have a bit of daredevil in them."  

Calm down, R.Pattz fans, before sending those death threats to Garrett, you should know that these two buds are strictly platonic. But as long as we've gone there, ya know, should anything ever go wrong with Rob, Garrett sure ain't a bad backup plan for K.Stew! 

"They are truly just friends," says our K source, who also adds that Garrett is "currently single." 

Last month, the two were spotted partying in London with fellow "On the Road" costar (and Rob BFF) Tom Sturridge and his ladylove, Sienna Miller. The crew were photographed exiting the Groucho Club in the wee hours of the morning. 

And it turns out K.Stew and G.Hed have been spending time together, domestically, too.

"They were hanging out with friends at Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles a few weeks ago," adds the pal of the pair. "They definitely keep in touch." 

And while Kris' main man has been sequestered to Canada shooting "Cosmopolis," we doubt it's totally painful enjoying the company of a totally hot cowboy in the meantime. 

Apparently, Kris just can't resist a dude with a guitar. (We completely understand.)

Paris Hilton urges stalker to stay away from her

Paris Hilton has opened about her obsessed fan who was arrested outside her beachfront home on Independence Day (04Jul11). 

The socialite branded the man a 'creep' and urged him to leave her alone, reports the Daily Express.
Hilton was enjoying the holiday festivities at her house in Malibu, California when cops were alerted to a man sitting on the beach outside, peering into her home.

James Rainford was detained on suspicion of breaching a restraining order, which bans him from going within 200 yards (183 m) of the star, and she watched from her balcony as he was bundled away in a squad car.
Hilton has now written about the incident on her Twitter.com page, imploring the man to stay away from her.
She wrote, "My stalker needs to leave me alone... Creep."

Lindsay Lohan: "I should never have been jailed"

Lindsay Lohan has launched a furious tirade against the American judicial system – less than a week after her release from house-arrest.

The 24-year old actress’s once promising career has been blighted by high-profile scrapes with the law over recent years, including an arrest for driving under the influence, court-ordered spells in rehab and a series of stints behind bars for parole violation.

But Lindsay – a free woman after completing 35-days of house-arrest for the alleged theft of a $2,500 necklace – believes she never should have been sent to prison in the first place.

“Unless you’re a killer, I don’t see a reason to stay there,” she told Italy’s Vanity Fair magazine. “I never hurt anyone but myself.”

The actress – who found fame as a fresh-faced 11-year old in 1998 movie ‘The Parent Trap’ – also believes being thrust into the spotlight at an early age contributed to her bad behaviour.

“I think that being young and in the position that I was in you don’t really take the time to appreciate what you have,” she said. “It was all a whirlwind and I’m not a kid anymore, I’m 24 and I’ve made mistakes but I feel like if I can just stay focussed I can achieve what I want to achieve.”

Rihanna: Men 'should have to earn my love'

 

Think you have what it takes to date Rihanna? 

Currently single (she split with pro baseball player Matt Kemp in December), the 23-year-old "California King Bed" singer tells the August issue of Cosmopolitan U.K. she's ready for romance.

"I'm open to love. But guys should have to earn it. Because the minute they get it, they want something else," she explains. "Men are like hunters: they like the chase. So you have to keep 'em guessing. Actually, I'm like that too. I get bored quickly. So if someone can make me laugh, that's the best."

Being in the public eye, she says, makes dating more difficult. "It can definitely be intimidating to guys to date someone in this industry," Rihanna admits. "It's really hard to find a guy who doesn't care about that stuff. Right now, it's easier just having my career to focus on." 

The singer also opens up about her devastating split with Chris Brown, who abused Rihanna following a pre-Grammys party in February 2009.

"It was a very aggressive and defensive time, and that allowed me to start not giving a s---. I walked around with a very f--k-you attitude," Rihanna says. "I've always been good at masking my emotions. For me, it's tougher to be vulnerable than to be tough."
