Victoria Beckham wears baggy pyjama style trousers shocker but still looks amazing with Harper

Victoria Beckham wears baggy pyjama style trousers shocker but still looks amazing with Harper

It must be a terrible burden* being a fashion designer â€" you absolutely MUST look amazing, ALL the time.

But that doesn’t seem to be a problem for Victoria Beckham who as well as setting up her own e-commerce website recently , has also mastered the art of looking effortlessly stylish and high end fashion at every opportunity.

Here she is in her latest travelling outfit. which is both practical and gorgeous. No one wants to fly in tight clothes, but Posh always gets papped at the airport, so must look her best.

The answer is baggy pants. Oh how we love her baggy pants. But what we also, slightly enviously, admire here is her ability to wear something we’d never dare to and carry it off with artistic flair.

Mrs B is setting trends here, which clearly is her job and all, but we’re starting to realise how bloody good she is at it. Weird baggy comfort goes Posh.

Of course her outfit in no way detracted us from the adorable, squeezable face of Harper ( see her here with daddy ), who looks like she’s just been rudely awoken, but being the good little thing she is, hasn’t burst into tears. Yet.

The girls and the rest of the Beckham boys (minus David, shame) landed in LA after taking a flight from France. We assume they're catching up with their old school pals and stuff after moving back to London. But Victoria has also Tweeted about working out with celebrity fitness trainer Tracey Anderson recently, so there's bound to be a bit of that involved too.

Maybe that's the reason for the wide trousers? Nah, course not.

* We are obviously aware that it isn't a terrible burden bein g a fashion designer - it's an incredible privilege - but you know...

"Enjoying every bite" Kim Kardashian has given in to her pregnancy cravings then

"Enjoying every bite" Kim Kardashian has given in to her pregnancy cravings then

It's nearly lunchtime, and we've been thinking about food since er, 10.09am. And Kim Kardashian's really not helping at all, as she Instagrammed a picture of her first junk food pregnancy craving - a burger with cheesy chips from In n' Out burger in LA.

The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star added: "I spoke too soon! My 1st pregnancy craving! Enjoying every bite". She's referring to the fact she's just been on TV and denied she was eating junk food.

We really want to eat this, right now

Talking on a US TV show, Kim said: "I want to have those cravings, like cheeseburgers, but I haven't. Now I eat healthy, I don't know what's going on!" she said. Kim also said she was eating vegetables and ranch dressing, saying: "I have the biggest sweet tooth and I love junk food. Being pregnant I don’t’ like any of it. I’m waiting for the moments when someone’s like let’s go to McDonald’s and Taco Bell - that’s not happening for me and I’m kind of sad about it."

Well, congratulations on finally craving a cheese burger with cheesy chips, Kim.

We're still big supporters of Kim's fringe

Poor old Kim has also had to defend herself, yet again, from online commenters who've slagged off her pregnancy style.

"For any concern that my clothes are too tight, I have so many pieces custom fit for my growing body! They make pregnancy Spanx which are tight," she blogged. "So this theory sounds ridiculous! I feel my best when I am in heels and chic clothes! Happy mommy, happy baby!"

How is she still in heels? HOW?

She also went on Good Morning America to talk about why she's always wearing high heels. "I love high heels and I feel that you should wear what you should feel good in. Flats are just not me but I’m trying them out, so we’ll see!" Brave move, Kim.

Kim wore three amazing outfits out yesterday (we can barely be bothered to change out of our work clothes in the evening, and we're not even pregnant). She swapped her caramel leather dress for a nude dress, then wore a jewelled blue dress later. Busy.

'You couldn't see me and I couldn't see you': Blind singer wins The Voice judges' hearts with "amazing" audition

'You couldn't see me and I couldn't see you': Blind singer wins The Voice judges' hearts with "amazing" audition

BBC talent show The Voice will kick off this weekend with an unforgettable audition from a blind singer who cannot see the judges reactions.

Andrea Begley, 26, from County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, only has 10 percent vision and has to be helped onstage for her performance by the floor manager.

She began losing her sight at the age of five through glaucoma and can now barely see at all.

Andrea said: “I found I had a condition called glaucoma which is pressure in my eyes and it has meant that I have lost 90 percent of my vision. Glaucoma is a degenerative condition so once your sight is gone there is no means of getting it back. I had to adapt things for example playing with my friends and watching TV, ordinary things that you take for granted.

“Music really became my get out and it was a natural progression really.

“When I sing it takes me to somewhere else, I feel a sense of relaxation. I can do it without any assistance or issues and t hat is why it is so important. This is the biggest challenge I have done.”

After an emotional performance singing Angel, judge Danny O’Donoghue says her audition was “amazing”.

Andrea explained: "I came on the Voice for the very basic reason you couldn’t see me and I couldn’t see you"

 

He then quizzes her about coming on the show and entering the blind auditions where the judges cannot see the acts until they push a button to pick them to go through to the next round.

Andrea explained: “I came on the Voice for the very basic reason you couldn’t see me and I couldn’t see you.

“For once I am on a level playing field with all the other contestants.”

Andrea then had to ask the judges afterwards if their chairs turned as “she couldn’t really tell”.

Tom Jones  said “Your voice is so beautiful. I had to let you know that. We feel emotional about the way you sing.”

Jesse J added: “I applaud how courageous you are and you should be proud of yourself right now.”

Viewers will find out on Saturday night which judges turned their chairs for Andrea and who she picks as her coach if she gets through.

Other highlights on the first episode include Welsh singer and care worker Ashley Morgan, 26, whose dad performed with Tom Jones and Will.i.Am lookalike Matt Henry, 34.

The 95 minute show kicks off at 7pm on Saturday and will go head-to-head with Ant Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway on ITV.

It opens with a medley by the judges â€" Danny, Tom Jones, Jesse J and Will.i.am â€" which Beeb bosses hope will wow fans.

Referring to the auditions, Tom Jones: “What I listen for is originality. I like the ones that hit me with a natural sounding voice.”

Jesse J said: “I want to hear someone with potential that gives you goosebumps.”

Kim Kardashian’s kar krash klobber

Kim Kardashian’s kar krash klobber

She may be pregnant but Kim Kardashian’s ever-expanding waistline hasn’t stopped her squeezing into some of the tightest gear around…

Far from settling for sober maternity wear, Kanye West's 32-year-old baby mamma has gone totally the other way, with some outrageous designer outfits that might raise a few eyebrows even if worn by a woman not carrying a child.

Here’s some of the disasters she’s been spotted in recently:

No stretchy middles and loose fitting stuff for Kim as she seems reluctant to ditch her signature look of pinched-in waistband to compliment her hour glass figure. Trouble is, she doesn’t have a waist anymore.

And her dazzling array of outfits that used to look fabulous on her are just plain wrong as the one-time slimmest part of her ­sensational body is now the widest.

The reality TV star’s clobber ranges from flamboyant ostrich feather skirts to dresses she could almost burst out of.

But, despite her snug, inappropriate and often revealing choices, it’s refreshing Kim is clearly not ashamed of her pregnancy curves and is still as body confident as ever.

She wrote on her blog recently: "I see comments from many people that I only wear black and I'm trying to hide my pregnancy or I’m ashamed, which is so beyond ridiculous! I’ve always worn black and I love it. So simple chic! But I do wear white and color all the time as well.

"Fashion is fun and I love experimenting even when I’m pregnant". But she also admitted there are painful parts to being preggers.

Controversially, Kim also revealed that she might not give her unborn baby a name beginning with K when it's born in July. Which would be a shame as the baby might feel left out - a bit like Rob Kardashian. And just look at how well he turned out...

Angelina Jolie sparks speculation of secret wedding to Brad Pitt as she swaps engagement ring for gold band

Angelina Jolie sparks speculation of secret wedding to Brad Pitt as she swaps engagement ring for gold band

We all know that Angelina Jolie is some sort of superwoman so it’s a good thing for the world that she has landed back in Los Angeles safely after a trip to the Congo.

The caring actress, 37, took a short trip to the African country and nearby Rwanda, as part of her work as an ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in a bid to raise awareness of horrendous acts of war zone rape.

Angelina, who really is rather lovely, had been doing some important work in Africa before jetting back to the US

And it didn’t take long for rumours to start flying around Hollywood like very fast things after she arrived back in the US as she wore a new ring which sparked speculation she had got married to fiancé Brad Pitt.

Angelina swapped her impressive emerald-cut diamond engagement ring for a more subtle gold band which prompted much excitement all around.

However, it turns out she won’t be walking down the aisle just yet â€" the star decided to wear some more simple jewellery out of respect for the work she was undertaking.

This is Angelina leg-bombing. Maybe she'll do this at the alter at her wedding

And it seems the trip left quite a mark on the caring star.

In a video released by The Guardian, she said: “It’s often that we speak about the drama and the pain and the horrors of the Congo. But it’s also a wonderful place with extraordinary people."

Ant and Dec shocked by their Let's Get Ready To Rhumble success: "We did it for a laugh!"

Ant and Dec shocked by their Let's Get Ready To Rhumble success: "We did it for a laugh!"

A good old pop reunion is always a massively exciting thing â€" just like when Em in the place reunited with Easy V (that’s a Wannabe reference to Emma Bunton and Victoria Beckham in case we’ve lost you already) for the Return of the Spice Girls tour in 2007.

And, even with all the brilliance of The Big Reunion and the comebacks of bands such as B*Witched, Liberty X, Blue and Atomic Kitten on the show, it’s Ant and Dec’s shock storm of the charts this week that’s surprised us most.

But we shouldn’t be worrying our little heads with our own thoughts when the Geordie presenting duo are in a state of utter disbelief at the spike in digital sales of their 1994 hit Let’s Get Ready To Rhumble.

The track has stormed to the top of the mid-week charts following their performance on Saturday Night Takeaway at the weekend.

This is Ant and Dec looking super cool now but they looked equally as brilliant as PJ and Duncan back in the old days

Speaking about the random turn of events on ITV’s Daybreak, Ant said: “It was a joke. We were fans of The Big Reunion anyway, so we were going to do something with them at the end of the show.

“And then we realised that we didn’t kind of have enough to fill what the End of the Show, Show, normally run to. And we thought, ‘Well, we could possibly dust off the old baseball caps and give it a go for a laugh.’

The TV hosts decided to perform their old hit "for a laugh" so here's a picture of them, erm, laughing

 

“And the production team on Saturday Night Takeaway went mad, saying, ‘We remember that song, let’s do it!’ So we thought, ‘It would be a bit of a laugh then, we’ll do it.’

“We never expected we would be number one in the mid-week charts.”

Now, in our heads, the 90s are still happening because they were actually BRILLIANT but with all The Big Reunion bands back again and Ant and Dec on course to score their first ever number one, it’s like time stopped and we’re living in a blissful heaven of sheer excellence.

Little Ant and Dec from Saturday Night Takeaway are yet to reveal their feelings on Let's Get Ready To Rhuble but they don't look impressed here

 

And it seems it’s the same for Dec and his bestie as they still remember the dance routines from 1994.

Dec said: “We did a little bit of rehearsal on Thursday. We had four hours in our schedule to rehearse the dance, and we spent an hour and it all kind of came back to us. We’d obviously done it so many times in the past it all came back to us, so we had three hours off.”

And, after announcing their plans to try and rake in some cash by breaking America, the lads are so kind that they are planning to donate some of the money they make from the song to charity.

Absolute legends.
