1 /11 Olga Kurylenko looks exquisite in a silk gown as she arrives for the Valentino SS17 show at Paris Fashion Week (0.01/1) Olga Kurylenko stood out even as she shunned the brighter shades on Sunday night. Turning out for the Valentino SS17 show at Paris Fashion Week, the exquisite brunette favoured in a nude palette that beautifully complemented her skin tone. The silk dress sat just off her shoulders and rouched in at her middle to accentuate her lithe frame. Scroll down for video Former Bond Girl Olga - who starred in 2008's Quantum Of Solace - sachayed into the venue wearing peep toe heels that set off the simple garment. Olga went boldly braless, letting the flirty fabric skim over her shape at a full length that just cut off at her ankles. She wore a simple beauty look, with her hair slicked back in a wet-look style and her eyes dark and emphasised using shadowy make-up. It's not the first Fashion Week presentation that the French stunner has shown her face at this week as she was also in attendance for Christian Dior's show on Friday. Sunday's Valentino show was due to see the first solo collection by creative director, Pierpaolo Piccioli. Previously, Piccioli shared the brand with fellow creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri, who confirmed her exit from the fashion house in July. And the stars were certainly out to see the solo debut, since the show attracted the likes of Olivia Palermo, Jessica Alba, Dakota Fanning and Lily Collins. Showing his support, Valentino Garavani was also there to see Piccioli take the helm for his namesake brand. He sat beside Hollywood actress Alba, looking sharp in a charcoal suit with his trademark tan suitably topped up after a summer yacht- hopping across Europe with Palermo.

2 /11 Will Young reignites his feud with former pop boss as he throws shade during Strictly interview He famously answered back to Simon Cowell during his days as a Pop Idol contestant, in 2002. But Will Young seemed to reignite his feud with his former pop boss on Sunday night, as he expressed his relief that he no longer had to come face-to- face with the notoriously hard- to-please music mogul. Speaking after the first round of eliminations on Strictly Come Dancing this weekend, the Pop Idol winner took the opportunity to throw shade at Simon. He told Claudia Winkleman: 'I'm really nervous. But, there's no Simon Cowell... so that's nice!' On the night, Will was saved by the British public and put through to next week's Movie Week of Strictly Come Dancing after throwing himself into a Jive with Karen Clifton on Saturday evening. It seemed to bring back memories of his reality TV debut on singing competition Pop Idol, a show which saw him triumph over pop rival Gareth Gates and be named winner. At the time, Cowell was on the judging panel alongside Pete Waterman, Nicki Chapman and Neil Fox. Facing criticism specifically from judge Simon, singing hopeful Will boldly bit back after one memorable rendition of The Doors' Light My Fire. Simon called the performance 'Dinstinctly Average' and Will said: 'All of us have been dying to say things to you – I've written about ten things to say to you. 'I think it's nice that you have given opinions on this show. I think in previous shows you haven't, you've just projected insults and it has been terrible to watch. 'I think, this show, I think you have been better, and I think you have given opinions and you've backed up your opinions. 'It is your opinion. I don't agree with it. I don't think it was average. I don't think you could ever call that average. But it is your opinion and I respect that.' Light My Fire went on to be one of Will's best-selling songs when he released it as a single on debut album From Now On. Since the show, Will has publicly branded the X Factor judge a 'bully' telling The Huffington Post UK in 2015: 'I don't like bullies, and I don't know if there's a nurturing side to his shows. 'It always comes from the top. There definitely wasn't enough pastoral care, and I can't bear seeing people that aren't looked after. 'I didn't like it at school, and with my friends. I've never liked it, and that's my question for him.' Meanwhile, during Sunday night's show, Radio DJ Melvin Odoom and his partner Janette Manrara became the first celebrity couple to leave. Melvin was due to join US musician Anastacia in the dance-off, however the latter was unable to perform again after a serious injury in training during the week. Melvin was sent home by the British public with the lowest votes after his Tango to M People's Movin' On Up failed to impress the judges, and earned him a measly score of 22. Of his time on the show, Melvin said: 'I just need to say, every single person on this show; the contestants, the dancers, the production, the judges, everyone is absolutely amazing. 'It's a blessing to be on the show and thank you for Janette, it's been a great experience for me, thank you!' Janette added: 'Melvin is one of those individuals that you meet and never forget from the first moment you meet them. 'He's got such a beautiful soul, such a gorgeous smile, an infectious personality and I just want to thank you for making this, although short, an extremely sweet journey amazing for me.'

3 /11 'We'll need to pay attention to Matthew in NC' Posted 36 minutes ago Updated 33 minutes ago

Raleigh, N. C. — Temperatures will remain mild and skies will remain cloudy in the Triangle this week as meteorologists closely monitor the path of Hurricane Matthew, a category four storm that could brush North Carolina's coast by the weekend. There's still a lot of spread in the model tracks for Hurricane Matthew late this coming week," said WRAL meteorologist Nate Johnson, "and we can't rule out a landfall or significant impacts here in the state. "

According to the U. S. National Hurricane Center in Miami, Matthew is expected to pass across or close to the southwestern tip of Haiti late Monday before reaching Cuba.

Johnson said Jamaica, Cuba and Haiti will be heavily impacted by the storm starting late Sunday and into Monday.

By early Friday morning, the storm could be off Florida's coast, causing concern in North Carolina.

"After that, we have to start paying close attention to Matthew [here in the state]," he said. "Looking beyond the official Hurricane Center forecast, computer models suggest that Matthew is likely to stay off-shore, but it's not a sure thing. "

High temperatures will top off in the mid-70s in Raleigh this week, and little to no rain is expected as meteorologists track Matthew's path towards the coast.

4 /11 Cheryl covers her tummy with oversized coat as she steps out amid claims she's 'expecting her first child' with Liam Payne The former Girls Aloud star teamed her knee-length coat with a loose fitting lilac blouse, while black suede boots, also knee-length, rounded off a chic, seasonal ensemble. Cheryl ensured her outfit was not overshadowed by opting for a subtle, subdued make-up and a simple center-parted hairstyle. The singer was without boyfriend Liam as she causally mingled with passersby during her latest appearance in the capital. The pair - who have been dating since February - recently put the rumour mill into overdrive with speculation that they are ready to tie the knot and start a family. The singer's PR team added fuel to the fire after tweeting a snapshot of the brunette beauty posing for a selfie as she worked on a new mystery project. And while it was first photo of Cheryl since pregnancy rumours emerged, the pic gave little away, due to it being a cropped close-up. Fans also went wild recently after Liam changed his Twitter bio to say he is 'the happiest man in the world'. Speculating as to whether this could be a hint that Cheryl is pregnant, the social media platform went into meltdown as fans struggled to cope with the claims. Cheryl's mother Joan Callaghan has been seen buying pregnancy goods in a branch of Mothercare late last month- heightening rumours the star is pregnant with Liam's child. A source told The Sun : 'She had a massive pregnancy pillow which helps make your bump more comfortable when you’re trying to sleep. She was asking the assistant for advice about another kind that she wanted.' Meanwhile her impending divorce to Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini has reportedly stalled due to his reluctance to sign a 'no talk' order. The singer is being prevented from taking her relationship with new love interest Liam Payne, 23, to the next level due to her ex's refusal to sign documentations banning him from talking about their short-lived marriage. 'J-B has moved on, it’s been a really tough year for him with his father dying, leaving him the only remaining member of his family,' a friend of the Frenchman revealed to The Mirror . 'Then there is getting divorced and being bound by a confidentially agreement – which means he can never defend himself or clarify any false reports. 'He’d never say anything bad about Cheryl but he realised a long time ago, when he had to deal with everything alone, she wasn’t the girl for him,' the pal continued on in hopes of clarifying Jean-Bernard's stubbornness. The Geordie beauty married Jean-Bernard in 2014 after a three month courtship. She announced their separation earlier this year. Since the uncoupling, Jean- Bernard is reported to have found solace in his estranged wife's friend, Vanessa Perroncel. And it is his strong-willed stance against signing the papers that will inhibit Cheryl from ploughing ahead with her relationship with One Direction's Liam - whom she first laid eyes upon during The X-Factor in 2010.

5 /11 Ken Clarke reveals that Margaret Thatcher wept when she lost 1990 leadership bid Tory grandee Ken Clarke has revealed that Margaret Thatcher broke down in tears when she lost her bid to become the leader of the Conservatives in 1990. Clarke, who was a health minister in Thatcher's cabinet, shines a light on his relationship with the 'Iron Lady' in his compelling memoirs, Ken Clarke: Kind of Blue. He discusses the former Prime Minister's dismay when she realised she did not have the support of her party to remain leader of the Conservatives, a position she had held since 1975. Thatcher had been Prime Minister for 10 years by 1990 but, while she did have plans to resign in the near future, she felt there was still work for her to do. Clarke explains that Thatcher felt she was the only person who could lead a 'successful resolution to the aftermath of the Gulf War'. However, while she beat rival Michael Heseltine in a vote for the leadership of the party, she did not do so decisively enough. When Clarke was approached for his opinion on what the PM should do next, he said she was shaken by his advice. In an extract published in the Sunday Times, he writes: 'She tried to jog me out of my pessimism by talking about what could be achieved by a better- organised campaign than the disastrous one so far. I refused to be cheered up. 'I described the proposed campaign as a Charge of the Light Brigade.' In the book, which is being serialised by the Sunday Times , Clarke goes on to say he told Thatcher to step down and let John Major and Douglas Hurd run and he refused to promise her his support. He added that the PM looked 'visibly shaken' by his attitude and advice, but insisted that he was being 'defeatist'. However, it was just a day later that Thatcher announced in a cabinet meeting that she would be standing down as leader and Prime Minister. Clarke recalls in the Times: 'It began with the Prime Minister reading a prepared statement announcing her intention to go. She was weeping profusely and was quite unable to read the statement without breaking down.' The Tory grandee also adds that while she had essentially been ousted by her own party, each member of the cabinet was 'genuinely deeply saddened' by the occasion.

6 /11 Filipino housewife is ‘Vietnam Idol’ THEY told her she couldn’t make it in “Vietnam Idol,” a popular singing tilt. But 28- year-old Janice Buco was destined to prove them all wrong.

On Friday night, Buco wowed even her fiercest detractors and was adjudged the winner of the seventh season of “Vietnam Idol.”

She is the first Filipino and foreigner to ever join and win the contest, which only opened its doors to non-Vietnamese singers this year.

Buco, who adopted the stage name of Janice Phuong, chalked up her victory to sheer determination and a lot of guts.

“I didn’t have an inkling that I would win. I thought I’d only end up in second place because I was a Filipino and not Vietnamese,” she said on Saturday.

On the night of the finals on Friday in , she could not believe her ears when the host called her name as the victor, defeating a 22-year-old local.

“Up to now, it still hasn’t sunk in. I couldn’t help crying when they announced that I won,” she said.

She won 54.25 percent of the audiences’ votes with her powerful alto, taking home a cash prize of 600 million Vietnamese dong ($28,600). “Vietnam Idol” is based on the show, “American Idol.”

Buco, a native of Bohol province, has been staying in for a couple of years with her Vietnamese husband, Minh Que.

She was supposed to perform for President Duterte when he visited and met with overseas Filipino workers in Hanoi last week, but her busy training schedule got in the way.

“I really wanted to perform for him. It would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience,” she said. Before joining “Vietnam Idol” in March, she was making a living by singing in bars, while her husband was her band mate and a flamenco guitarist.

Her parents, Eutiquio and Honoreta, wanted to fly to Vietnam to see her perform but her father did not have a passport at the time.

“He told me, ‘You’ve reached your dreams. Don’t ever change.’ He even said ‘sorry’ because they were not here for me,” she said.

Joining the popular contest was unplanned. She and her Vietnamese husband were at the movies when they chanced upon the ongoing auditions for “Vietnam Idol” in March.

“I asked my husband to ask the organizers if I could join. He told me that I couldn’t since I was not Vietnamese. But it was open to foreigners, who could speak and sing in Vietnamese,” she said.

Their movie date had to give way for an impromptu audition as she rushed in, in unglamorous clothes and sans make up.

“If I went home to change, the organizers might change their mind,” she said.

For her audition, she sang a Vietnamese song, “Cam On Tinh Yeu” (Thank you, my love), while her piece for the finals was “Hello Vietnam.”

She was the only foreigner who auditioned, competing against local singers who obviously had better grasp of their native language.

Buco never expected that she would eventually make it to the list of Top 12 finalists, with the organizers assuming that she only sang English songs.

For her audition, she was even asked to belt out Filipino tunes like Freddie Aguilar’s “Anak” and “Sa Ugoy ng Duyan.”

Buco trained intensively for three months, leaving behind her work, and had to catch up on her halting Vietnamese. She also had to learn more Vietnamese songs.

It hadn’t been a bed of roses for her at all. Aside from singing in a language she was not very fluent in, she had to contend with bashers on social media, who told her that she didn’t belong.

“They told me that I shouldn’t have joined the contest and that only Vietnamese singers could win this contest. They even told me to go back to the Philippines and sing there,” Buco said.

Unperturbed, she went on with her training as the criticism only pushed her to try even harder.

“I was even more inspired to practice singing in Vietnamese. I wanted to show them that I can sing their songs as well,” she said.

Her husband, being a professional musician, also supported her by coaching her in Vietnamese diction to make her performance as natural as possible.

Victory became within reach when she ranked second, just a spot behind her 22-year-old Vietnamese rival, Viet Thang, from the northern province of Hai Duong.

On Friday night, triumph became officially hers when she was adjudged the best singer in the land. “I was quite nervous before the performance. But I didn’t feel any shyness at all. I told myself, ‘Bahala na (Come what may)’ It turned out to be a great night,” Buco said.

As the newest Vietnam Idol, she will be managed by the organizers for the next couple of years —a dream come true for this Filipino woman who was unable to finish college due to poverty.

Buco is looking forward to jumpstart her professional career in music, with her husband by her side and her family in the Philippines cheering her on.

Just last week, she launched her first single: “Love You in Silence,” a melody with lyrics that are a mixture of Vietnamese and English.

To Filipinos in Vietnam who dream of joining singing tilts but are apprehensive in doing so, she has this simple advice: Muster your guts and courage, and dream big.

“If you really want to sing, you can’t be fainthearted. You really have to go for it. Like I said, ‘pakapalan lang ng mukha,’” she said, chuckling. TVJ

8 /11 George Clooney, Hugh Jackman Help MPTF Celebrate Its 95th Birthday The Motion Picture and Television Fund celebrated its 95 years under the stars Saturday with a little reception and a big concert at its Calabasas campus.

Host George Clooney joked that Kirk Douglas , one of the organization’s benefactors, “is not impressed so much, but to the rest of us 95 is a big deal.”

Indeed, Douglas crowed, “I am five years ahead of the sign,” pointing to the posters that marked the MPTF ’s 95 years, after the band struck up “Happy Birthday” and he was presented with cupcakes to mark his upcoming centennial. He said he almost didn’t attend. “I don’t know who Jennifer Lawrence, Emma Stone, or Kevin Hart are, so I’m glad I came here tonight.”

MPTF’s 95th Anniversary Celebration ‘Hollywood’s Night Under The Stars’

Over the years, Kirk and Anne Douglas have given more than $40 million to the MPTF, among other charitable donations, son Mike Douglas said, including to L. A. Unified School District and the Children’s Hospital.

Throughout the evening, there was plenty of singing and dancing interspersed with anecdotes of those who had received help from the fund whether in the form of palliative care, financial support, or shelter in their later years. These included everyone in the industry from producers and directors to composers, grips, and makeup artists.

Clooney said he wouldn’t be singing, but “when Jeffrey Katzenberg calls you, which he’s likely to do, take the call, you’ll be glad you did.”

One of the most moving moments was Jeremy Renner ’s telling of actor Travis Davis (“Friday the 13th”), who developed stomach cancer and died in 2009 at age 40. The MPTF provided palliative care and support to him and his family. “Whatever the challenge, you don’t have to face it alone,” said widow Leryn Davis. You are in an industry that cares for its own in many wonderful ways.”

Another segment related how, long before the passage of the Marriage Equality Act, the spouse of a makeup artist, who was just referred to as Bob, received financial support for groceries and rent.

That was the message of the night in the midst of Hugh Jackman singing tunes from “Les Miserables,” Derek Hough (“Dancing With the Stars”) performing “Singin’ in the Rain,” and Norm Lewis , belting out “Music of the Night” from “The Phantom of the Opera.”

Sheryl Lee Ralph told the guests, “The real party is backstage. Hugh Jackman is walking testosterone. George Clooney, you did it for me then, you do it now.” She introduced Helen Reddy , “the original Broadway Dreamgirl.”

Other highlights included Kevin Spacey , Loretta Devine , and Johnny Mathis singing “Misty,” which was intro’ed by clips of Clint Eastwood in “Play Misty for Me,” and Jane Lynch , Kate Flannery , and Tim Davis .

Chris Pine and Bryan Cranston related how their relatives lived in the retirement home in their later years. Pine’s grandmother Anne Gwynne enjoyed the rose garden, he said. Cranston had the audience laughing as he related how his mother, Peggy Sell, lived in Harry’s Haven. Although she had Alzheimer’s he learned from a nurse that she had set up a relationship there. “I told the nurse my one concern was will she become pregnant,” he said. “We had a good laugh, but all joking aside I was glad she found companionship in her later years.”

Devine, Jim Gianopulos , and Yvette Nicole Brown got to the serious business of asking guests to contribute.

Brown, who got involved in Next Gen through Katzenberg, said “I give what I can now, knowing I may need it in the future.”

9 /11 Daisy Lowe heads to Strictly Come Dancing rehearsals wearing a camouflage top and jeans She's been at the centre of a family storm after the man who believed Daisy Lowe was his daughter for 13 years has spoken out about his heartbreak after not seeing the model for over a decade. The 27-year-old model, whose mother is Pearl Lowe, was just 14 when she discovered Bronner Handwerger, 51, was not her father after a paternity test revealed her godfather Gavin Rossdale was in fact her parent. But Daisy put a brave face on things and beamed as she arrived to Strictly rehearsals looking ravishing in a tight grey top and black skinny jeans on Sunday. Scroll down for video She squeezed her hourglass figure into a pair of high-waisted suede skinny jeans as she stepped out on Sunday. Daisy, who wore her raven locks loose to fall over her shoulders, looked voluptuous in a tight grey sweater with white stripes which she tucked into her trousers. The statuesque beauty gave her feet an off day from her usual heels and looked trendy in a pair of laced up flat boots. Her outing comes as her estranged ex stepdad says he hasn't seen her in over a decade. Speaking to the Sunday Mirror , Bronner discussed his desperation to reunite with Daisy as he claims he has not spoken to her since 2003 despite frequent attempts to get in touch with the star. Daisy's formative years spun a convoluted tale after her fashion designer and one-time singer mother enjoyed a short- lived marriage with Bronner, who she met in Israel in 1988. During her marriage, Pearl became embroiled in a one night stand with 'best friend' musician Rossdale, singer and guitarist with rock band Bush. When Daisy was 14 she followed up on undergoing a paternity test based on her mother's suspicions that Bronner wasn't the father, although Gavin vowed to never speak to Pearl again if Daisy had the DNA test. After discovering Gavin was in fact the father, Bronner was left heartbroken yet maintained his relationship even when he split with Pearl: 'For 14 years Daisy was my daughter. I doted on her like any father would. 'Things didn’t work out between me and Pearl but I was determined to be a huge part of Daisy’s life .' In Pearl's 2008 autobiography All That Glitters she claimed their relationship broke down after Bronner hit Daisy - a claim he vehemently denies. He said: 'I never hit Daisy once. Why would I? And why would she be in my life so much after if I had? It’s just not true... It was a very loving father/daughter relationship. I idolised her. She called me Daddy and in my eyes I always was.' Despite not seeing Daisy for so many years Bronner, who is happily married with three children, gushed that he was proud to see how Daisy had turned out - although he does reiterate his wasted efforts to see her. MailOnline has approached representatives for Daisy and Pearl for comment. In 2014, Daisy spoke to Evening Standard about her discovery over her paternity: ‘(It was) a very interesting time. That age is when you’re at your most malleable; you’re developing frontal lobes. ‘But I’m very proud of those times, cos at those moments when the s*** hits the fan I could either go out and get really f***** up or I could go home, cry myself to sleep and wake up in the morning and give my mum a big cuddle... 'I now have a really good relationship with my father. It’s been blossoming for the past year but it really happened over Christmas. We got to spend time together.’ The stunning star is currently competing on Strictly Come Dancing and Bronner's words come just a day after she wowed judges on Saturday night with an energetic Cha Cha Cha, which won her an impressive score of 30.

Geri Horner, Melanie Brown and Emma Bunton are reuniting while Beckham and Melanie Chisholm have declined to take part. Singer turned fashion designer Beckham, 42, told The Sunday Times' Style magazine that she wished the trio well, saying: "Of course, as a new group, I do. " But she suggested her ex-bandmates do not sing their old hits, saying it would make her feel "sad". " I do think they should sing new material, though, because what we did as the Spice Girls was so special," she said. "If they sang Spice Girls songs, I think I might be a bit sad. " Beckham's ex-bandmate Chisholm previously revealed why she decided not to take part, saying "something didn't feel quite right and I had to follow my gut". "There's a lot to be said for bowing out on a high note," she told Love magazine earlier this year. Beckham also insisted she and husband David, who are parents to sons Brooklyn, 17, Romeo, 14, and Cruz, 11, and five-year-old daughter Harper, will not be having a fifth child. "No! I am done," she said. Beckham also revealed she hates appearing on the red carpet, saying: "I just can't wait to get down the carpet and be done with it. "I don't know if it's the years of being photographed and the criticism, but I just feel exposed and vulnerable and uncomfortable, and I can't be myself. "

Scroll down for video Mother-of-two Mel showed off her killer physique in a bright orange pencil skirt as she stepped out with Matt last Wednesday.
