Meet Aiden, Rod Stewart's eighth baby and, he says, his last

By LIZ THOMAS

Happy Family: Rod Stewart with Penny Lancaster and their second - his eighth - baby


It looks like a photo of a family spanning three generations. Of course, in fact it shows only two.

Rod Stewart poses with wife Penny Lancaster and son Aiden after becoming a father for the eighth time, aged 66.

The couple, who have another son, five-year-old Alistair, spent two years trying to conceive and Miss Lancaster, 39, underwent three rounds of IVF.


This week's Hello! magazine


They said they were so nervous that they kept news of the pregnancy secret for as long as possible.

Stewart said: 'Aiden truly is a miracle. In the beginning we took it for granted that our second child would be as easy to conceive as Alistair was, but the long journey was more than worth it.'

The singer said that Aide, born on February 16, looks like him.

And he told this week's Hello! magazine: 'My way of settling him when he's crying from colic is to carry him around, singing to him.'

Stewart has previously said Aiden will be his last child, adding: 'I can't have any more kids, otherwise I'll be touring until I'm 90.'

But he admitted he would to 'pretty much anything' to keep Miss Lancaster happy - so the final decision could be down to her.

Make-up free Lindsay Lohan channels Native America look

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

New look: Lindsay Lohan pictured out for lunch with a friend in the Venice Beach area of Los Angeles yesterday


Lindsay Lohan opted for an eye-catching new look as she ventured out in Los Angeles yesterday.

The troubled actress, who was wearing barely a scrap of make-up, channelled the Native American look by wearing her hair in plaits.

She was joined by a male friend as they dined at The Otherroom in Venice Beach - just down the road from the jewellery store where she allegedly stole a $2,500 necklace.


Trendy: The actress teamed her Pocahontas-style hair with a below-the-knee tribal-inspired sweater


Lindsay teamed her Pocahontas-style hair with a below-the-knee tribal-inspired sweater.

The 24-year-old has now dropped her surname and wants to be known as just Lindsay.
Her reasoning is not to create a stronger showbiz brand, according to her mother Dina, however.

The 48-year-old, who also revealed that she and daughter Ali, 17, will be losing the name too - said the decision was taken to distance herself from disgraced father Michael.


ut and about: The actress dined at The Otherroom, just down the road from the jewellery store where she allegedly stole a $2,500 necklace


TMZ reports today that Major has got a protective order from a judge in Florida ordering Michael to stay 500 feet away from her and have no other contact.

According to the website, she is afraid of Michael coming after her from coast-to-coast, prompting her to ask a judge 2,500 away in Sarasota County to protect her from him.


Family feud: The actress and her mother Dina don't want to be associated with Michael Lohan and dropping their last name


Michael was charged last week with assaulting her. In court documents she claims 'he took a wet towel over my mouth + nose + was strangling me' before throwing her against the footrest of the bed.

She further claimed he sliced himself with a razor blade and said if she went to police 'he would say I injured him. He is insane'.

Michael claims Major assaulted him.

While his daughter might be dropping her surname, her mother Dina and sister Ali will use the maiden name Sullivan.

However, it's believed that her brother, Michael Lohan, Jnr, 22, will keep his father's name.

Sam Attwater wins Dancing On Ice 2011

By JODY THOMPSON

Winner: Former EastEnders star Sam Attwater lifted the Dancing On Ice 2011 trophy after skating a 'passionate' Bolero with partner Brianne Delcourt


Former EastEnders star Sam Attwater was crowned the Dancing On Ice 2011 champion after one of the tightest grand finals the show has ever seen

The 24-year-actor won the public's hearts with his 'passionate' version of show star's Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean's Bolero - despite accidentally leaving his hand on her breast at the end as they sprawled on the ice.

Sam gushed about Brianne, 29, too as he lifted the winner's trophy, saying: 'I've had the time of my life. I've made a friend for life and I wouldn't be here now if it wasn't for Brianne.'


High five: The pair were thrilled to be crowned champions - and Sam dedicated his win to Brianne, who he said would be a 'friend for life'


The pair won through with their consistently good skating since the show started in January and Sam had been the bookies' favourite since day one.

However, they had caused controversy earlier in the show's run over accusations they had tried to manipulate viewers with a 'faux-mance' between themselves.

In February, they had told show host Phillip Schofield they were 'an item' as they conducted a series of photoshoots in glossy magazines, even posing in bed with just their ice skates and giving quotes saying they ‘loved each other to bits’ and had met each other’s parents.

The ill-feeling's mutual! Real Housewives of Beverly Hills rivals Camille and Kyle paste on smiles for photo call at Hollywood party

By Daily Mail Reporter


Say cheese: Camille Grammar, left, looks away from rival Kyle Richards as they posed with their Real Housewives of Beverly Hills co-star Adrienne Maloof and Taylor Armstrong at a Hollywood party last night


It doesn't take a body language expert to figure out what's going on here.

In fact there's no hiding the mutual disdain between Real Housewives of Beverly Hills stars Camille Grammer and Kyle Richards.

The infamous foes were pictured together on a blue carpet last night at Hollywood gossip columnist Perez Hilton's birthday party.


And it seems the pair could hardly bare to look in the same direction as each other, with Camille distractedly averting her gaze away from Kyle.

Kyle, 42, and Camille, who is also 42 and the ex wife of Frasier star Kelsey Grammer, constantly fell out during the first season of their Bravo reality TV show.

In true Hollywood style, they attempted to patch things up - but their precarious relationship was constantly rocked by back-stabbing and two-faced behaviour.

Body language: The pair pasted on their best Hollywood smiles as they did their best to hide their disdain for one another

Friend or foe? The duo constantly fell out during the first season of their Bravo reality show. They were both in blue last night for gossip columnist Perez Hilton's 33rd birthday party


They were joined by their co-stars Adrienne Maloof and Taylor Armstrong at last night Blue Ball party for Perez.

However fellow cast members Lisa Vanderpump and Kim Richards, Kyle's sister, were not in attendance.

Kim and Kyle - who were also constantly at loggerheads during the show - are the aunties of socialite and heiress Paris Hilton.

Making an effort: Former Disney star Selena Gomez poses with Perez as she turned up to the event with a blue ensemble, plus blue lip stick and make-up

Best foot forward: Dancing With The Stars contestant, WWE star Chris Jericho and his professional dancer partner Lacey Schwimmer


Other guests at last night's Hollywood party included 18-year-old former Disney star Selena Gomez, who joined the throng of guests in wearing a blue outfit.

But she made an extra special effort, sprucing up her look with blue lipstick and eye make-up.

Dancing With The Stars professional Lacey Schwimmer and her WWE dance partner Chris Jericho also came along.

Meanwhile, burlesque star Dita Von Teese provided some of the entertainment at the gig, changing from her floor-length blue gown into a sexy, sequinned pink number on stage.

Singing in the rain! Thousand of X Factor hopefuls brave grim Los Angeles weather as U.S. auditions begin

By Chris Johnson


Crazy scenes: A growing crowd of 18,000 hopeful pictured in the car park of the LA Sports Arena in Los Angeles today where the first U.S. X Factor auditions got underway


X Factor U.S. officially got rolling today as thousands upon thousands of hopefuls descended on Los Angeles for the first round of auditions.

A swarming crowd of around 18,000 people are assembled in the car park at the LA Sports Arena in Downtown Los Angeles - making it the largest talent show turnout the city has seen.

Despite the rainy weather, would-be contestant camped out overnight in a bid to get a good spot before doors opened at 9am this morning.

Not deterred: Despite the rainy weather, wannabes braved the elements as they took their place in the huge queue in a bid to get an audition


A show insider told MailOnline: 'The scenes down here a crazy. There are around 18,000 people here and the numbers are growing by the second.

'There's gridlock on the freeways into the venue, it's absolute chaos.

'These auditions are going to be going on well into the night - there are a lot of people to get through.'

Dedicated: Would-be-contestants camped out over night before doors opened at 9am this morning

Front of the queue: Revellers stand behind the gated area at dusk


As it's the first round of auditions, hopefuls will perform in front of producers of the show, rather than the judges, which has still not been revealed in full.

Simon Cowell, who is heading the panel, has revealed one of the judges however - record executive and music producer Antonio 'L.A.' Reid.

He has helped launch the careers of stars including Mariah Carey, Pink, Rihanna, Kanye West and Justin Bieber.

Showing what she's got: Jordan Adelberger reveals her short red dress underneath her robe

She's got swagger: Kameron Kemp shows off her free-styling rapping abilities while another fan waves an LA Reid banner, one of the judges on the show


Today's crowd is a mixed bunch, with people ranging in age from 12 to the ripe old age of 87.

Maranda Jones, 16, from Huntington Beach, Los Angeles, plans to wow producers with a song she wrote herself.

The teen, who was joined by her father, said: 'I hope I'm good enough. I'm just so excited to be here. I know Simon wants confidence and if I give it everything I've got then I can't go wrong.

'I'm excited, not nervous,' she added confidently.

Far and wide: Antonia Duggar, left, travelled all the way from Liverpool in the UK to attend the auditions

Mixed crowd: A father and son duo arrived with a huge double bass in tow


Karen Turner, 18, from Newport Beach insisted she would not be fazed if she comes face-to-face with Cowell at a later audition.

'Simon doesn't scare me. I plan on intimidating him! That will shock him from the start!'

Paul Pointer, 54, is hoping X Factor will give him a chance to get recognition, despite his age.

He said: 'I want to thank Simon for giving people like me, my age the chance to live our dream.

'I might be older than most but I sure as hell ain't gonna let that stop me!'

Madding crowd: Teams of people arrived to the audition venue and the crowd is still growing


Across the swelling crowd, hopeful are waving banners as they excitedly wait to see if they will get the chance to audition.

One group had assembled a giant X out of fizzy drinks cans and there is also a hudge 3D stage where people can have their photographs taken.

There has been much speculation about who the other judges will be for the American version of X Factor, which kicks off in September on Fox.

Names touted have included former Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger and George Michael.

Wave your hands in the air: Other hopefuls seen here waving their placards


Meanwhile, Cheryl Cole, who is a judge on the British show, is still very much in the frame to join the panel.

However some Fox executives are believed to be less than keen after audience focus groups showed that she was not that popular in the States.

The winner of the show will receive a Sony Music recording contract worth $5 million - which trumps the £1m deal offered on the British show.

The judges: So far Simon Cowell and LA Reid have been confirmed as judges on the U.S. panel

Hair raising! Jason Gardiner reveals new £12,000 hair transplant as Laura Hamilton scores perfect 10s on Dancing On Ice final

By Jody Thompson


Hair today: The previously bald Dancing On Ice judge Jason Gardiner revealed the results of his £12,000 hair transplant live on the show's grand final tonight


It's a secret he'd literally been keeping under his hat - but tonight Dancing On Ice's acid-tongued judge Jason Gardiner unveiled his new hair transplant live during the grand final.

The 39-year-old Australian was so bowled over by children's TV presenter Laura Hamilton's performance on the rink that he doffed his trilby to her - and revealed the layer of dark brown growth on his previously shiny pate.

Jason flashed the fuzz after Laura and partner Colin Ratushniak landed straight 10s from all three judges for their routine to the Pointer Sisters' I'm So Excited.

Hats off: The judge decided to literally take his hat off in salute to Laura Hamilton's perfect 10s after her routine in the grand final to The Pointer Sisters I'm So Excited


As he shocked the crowd with his unveiling, he said: 'Laura I have to say I take my hat off to you - incredible! You have just proven why you are in this competition. You just took it to another level.'

Surprised co-host Holly Willoughby gasped afterwards: 'I'm almost sepeechless about what was under the hat!'

It's understood Jason spent £12,000 on the procedure where follicles are taken from the back of the head on embedded into the crown.

It had been rumoured before the final that the judge would be unveiling his thatch on the show, but that was denied by host Phillip Schofield at the start.

As he and Holly addressed the viewers, he said that instead Jason would be debuting his new do on tomorrow's This Morning - however, he was soon proved wrong to the delight of the studio audience.

Jason had been enthusing about his new thatch on his official Twitter page earlier in the day - and revealed he was already preparing to have a second operation.

He told his 60,000 followers: 'I will have a second one in order to get back all the hair I lost. The medical technology these days is just remarkable!

'It is quite miraculous what they can do these days. Dr Ziering is a genius! x Thank you I'm very happy with the results.'

Mail Online can reveal that the Dr Ziering in question has more than 19 years of experience as a hair transplant surgeon based in Southern California, at Beverly Hills and Newport Beach, and in Las Vegas, Nevada.

It's not known exactly when and which clinic Jason had the operation in however.

Chloe Madeley meanwhile denied that she had needed a rink-side psychothearapist to overcome her nerves ahead of the final.

The show's announcer revealed: 'She said that the only shrink she needs is bubble wrap around her bruises.'

Hair we go: Jason Gardiner was so impressed with Laura that he revealed his new hair transplant in her honour - but the public voted for Sam


Chloe's father Richard Madeley, who was sat in the audience with wife Judy Finnegan, also heckled the judges at one point after he felt they marked her too low for her routine to (I've Had) The Time Of My Life from Dirty Dancing.

Richard's heckling wasn't enough to save his daughter however, and after the first public vote, she was off the show, meaning she landed first place on the show.

The remaining two couples, Sam Attwater and Brianne Delcourt and Laura and Colin were then left to battle it out and skate the routine made famous by the show's chief coaches, Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean - the legendary Bolero.

Judges votes no longer counted - and it was solely down to the public to decided who would be the Dancing On Ice 2011 champion - and they decided on Sam, despite Laura's perfect 10s.

How do you say 'hold on tight' in Spanish? Katie Price takes Argentinian boyfriend Leandro - and a translator - to theme park

By Daily Mail Reporter


Ay dios mio! Katie Price and Leandro scream as they stare down the 80ft drop at the top of the Oblivion ride at Alton Towers today


With her speaking no Spanish and him barely managing a few words of English, it's a wonder how Katie Price and her Argentinian lover have managed to communicate.

Until she had the bright idea of hiring a translator, which although not very romantic, is certainly practical for every day conversation.

However, the Spanish lady came in handy today when Katie took her along with her and Leandro on a trip to a theme park this weekend.

Katie, 32, and Leandro, 25, were guest at the Alton Towers Resort Theme Park for its opening day.

And so she didn't struggle with phrases such as 'does this ride look to scary/' or 'it's a bit too fast for me', the translator was on hand to help out.

According to onlookers, the Spanish lady Katie had hired was tied to the couple all day.

One said she had clearly trained her against talking to the press because anytime anyone approached the couple, the translator would step in with a firm 'no'.

Katie, Leandro and a couple of her friends arrived at the theme park in Staffordshire on Saturday evening and took over five rooms in the resort's hotel.

They met up with Katie's friend Danielle Lloyd, who was also a guest at the opening weekend along with actress Tina O'Brien.

Child's play: Katie and Leandro looked bored as they rode the Sonic Spinball ride


The next day they hit the theme park as Britain's Greatest Escape opened its gates to the public after the winter break.

The couple went on the Sonic Spinball, the first ride that greets visitors on entering the park, but their bored looks said it all as they headed off for something more thrilling in the shape of Oblivion - the world's first vertical drop roller coaster.

The couple and their friends were later seen enjoying themselves on some of the fairground games dotted around the park.

And according to one witness, as Katie tried the Plate Smasher game, her friends egged her on telling her to imagine ex-husband Peter Andre's face was on it.

Celebrity guests: Danielle Lloyd and fiancé Jamie O'Hara attended the opening weekend as well as actress Tina O'Brien


Katie is a big fan of the theme park and has also been seen there with estranged husband Alex Reid at the height of their romance.

He, however, declined to go on Oblivion and stuck to screaming on Th13teen, a ride which he promoted when it opened last March.

It was little surprise Katie wanted to get away this weekend having found herself the subject of several headlines in regard to her new beau and her divorce battle with Reid.

Today, an ex-girlfriend of Leandro spoke out and said he had left her after she had given birth to their daughter Sophia, now three-years-old.

And Romina Brizzo also warned Katie that the male model was only interested in her for her fame and fortune and is using her to become a celebrity.

Speaking to the News of the World, Brizzo, 25, said: Leo loves to date wealthy girls. Jordan is no different. She is just another stupid rich girl who has fallen for his charms. He looks innocent but he isn't.'

But he hit out at her accusations and told the paper: 'I've no wish to get into a slanging match with the mother of the child I love very much.'

New love: Katie and Leandro, seen here at the races last week, met at Elton John's Oscar party last month - but his ex-girlfriend warned the glamour model that he was only after her for her fame and fortune

Westlife make concert a family affair with Kian Egan's wife as their supporting act

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Gravity Tour: Kian Egan, Mark Feehily, Nicky Byrne and Shane Filan of Westlife performed last night at the Birmingham LG Arena


Westlife returned to the stage last night by performing at Birmingham’s LG Arena and kept their supporting act within the family.

Kian Egan’s wife Jodi Albert jumped on stage with her girl band Wonderland, who are managed by her husband and Louis Walsh.

Westlife’s concert was the perfect opportunity to raise the Irish girl band’s profile and Shane Filan’s wife and sister were also singing along in the audience.


Supporting act: Corrina Durran, Jodi Albert, Kasey Smith, Leigh Learmont and Sharon Condon of Wonderland performed ahead of Westlife


And Wonderland made sure to steal some attention from the boy band by sporting skin tight leather trousers.

Former Hollyoaks star Jodi was joined on stage by her band mates Sharon Condon, Corrina Durran, Leigh Learmont and Kasey Smith.


Happy couple: Jodi Albert of Wonderland performed ahead of her husband and manager Kian Egan of Westlife


They performed their debut single Not a Love Song, which was released last month ahead of their debut album release this summer in June.

After 12 years, 14 number one singles and 11 albums, Westlife’s fans might be a little older these days but their popularity seems just as strong, as screaming fans filled the LG Arena.


Man band: Kian and Shane Filan, Mark Feehily and Nicky Byrne belt out their hits sing together on stage


Their Birmingham performance was part of their current Gravity Tour that kicked off earlier this month and will see them tour the UK until June 27.

Their stage show boasted flames, ticker tape and a mechanical bench which moved the band over the audience.

Kian, Shane, Nicky Byrne and Mark Feehily belted out some of their biggest hits including Uptown Girl and Flying Without Wings.

They also treated the audience to their upcoming single Starlight as well as an acoustic version of Adele’s Rolling in the Deep.

Westlife’s manager and X Factor judge Louis Walsh also formed Wonderland after holding auditions for the five girl group in 2008.

Kian helped Louis hold the open auditions and they are now co-managers of the band.

After over three thousand hopefuls auditioned in Dublin, the five girls were chosen and reportedly signed a six figure record deal with Mercury Records.

Wonderland also supported Westlife’s Where We Are Tour last year and will join the band throughout the rest of their current Gravity Tour.
