Don't let Abramovich see you! Ashley Cole takes a drag on his cigarette as he is driven through Beverly Hills to meet his friends for lunch


He's supposed to be one of the country's top professional sportsmen who is paid a phenomenally huge amount of money for his skills.

But clearly no one's told Ashley Cole that smoking is not only bad for his health but for his career too.

The Chelsea and England star was snapped puffing away on a cigarette as he enjoyed his summer break.

The 30-year-old defender was seen taking a deep drag as he sat in the back of a car as he drove through Los Angeles.

Wearing a Panama hat, he seemed oblivious to the cameras as he puffed away without a care in the world.


And exhale: Ashley blows out his smoke as he takes in the view from the car window


Ashley is in the Californian city on a boys' holiday as he enjoys some time off from his Premiership and European Championship duties.

And as the old adage goes, boys will be boys, none more so than Ashley and his buddies who have been making the most of their Golden State break.


Not quitting yet then? Ashley is snapped having another cigarette as he had lunch with friends at a poolside bar in Beverly Hills



Something funny, lads? Ashley holds on to Shaun Wright-Phillips as they share a joke with their group which also included Zat Knight (khaki shorts)


Soon after he was snapped in his car, he was seen hanging out with some friends at a poolside bar in Beverly Hills.

Among his pals joining him for lunch and vodka-based drinks was Bolton Wanderers star Zat Knight and Manchester City winger Shaun Wright-Phillips.

Summer break: Ashley looked relaxed and happy as he laughed along with his mates


They ordered a huge round of food which included a large plate of chips, a Caesar salad, sushi and some crudités.

They larked about and shared a joke while chatting on their mobiles phones and sharing pictures and messages.


Say when: Ashley tops up Zat's drink with some vodka as they relax over their lunch


And they kept the merriment topped up as they ordered two bottles of Grey Goose Vodka with cranberry and orange juice to mix it with.

Ashley is staying with a friend and a few days ago he was seen playing the dutiful house guest as he took out the rubbish.


Just chilling: Stuffed from their lunch, Ashley and the boys head to a poolside bed to relax in the sun


The full-back got to know the city last summer when he fled there after suffering a humiliating World Cup defeat.

The ex-husband of Cheryl, who he has reportedly been calling to offer his support after her X Factor dismissal, was then snapped smoking a cigarette as he arrived at a beer party.

Emma Watson laughs off romance rumours with new co-star (and workout buddy) Johnny Simmons

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Just friends: Emma Watson chats to her co-star Johnny Simmons after a run in the country in Pennsylvania


Emma Watson has laughed off reports of a romance with her latest co-star Johnny Simmons.

Despite the couple being photographed going for a run together in the Pennsylvania countryside, the Brit insisted they were just friends.

Wearing a pair of cropped leggings and sports jacket, the 21-year-old looked fresh-faced after her workout session.

The Harry Potter star has been in the U.S. since last month filming The Perks Of Being A Wallflower with Simmons.

The movie is an adaptation of the novel of the same name by Stephen Chbosky.

And despite recent internet reports claiming the pair are a couple, Watson's representative insists her client is just work colleagues with Simmons, 25.


Friendly: The pair have formed a friendship while filming The Perks Of Being A Wallflower


Her rep tells the MailOnline: 'This is complete fiction.'

Watson was linked to Simmons just days after she lamented about her non-existent lovelife in an interview with the Sunday Times.

She said: 'I say to my friends, "Why hasn't X called me? Why doesn't anyone ever pursue me?" They're like, "Probably because they're intimidated."

'It must be the fame wall. It must be the circus that goes around me. Me, as a person, I find it hard to believe I would be intimidating.'


Keeping in shape: Watson has been spotted working out a lot more in recent weeks


In a recent interview with Vogue magazine, Watson said she and Potter co-star Daniel Radcliffe often used to share relationship advice during filming.

She said: 'We would help each other compose texts to our most recent flames.'

Watson has been single since a brief fling with One Night Only frontman George Craig last year.

You'll just have to keep on searching... Katie Price is left red-faced after auditions for her new reality show are a washout

By JESSICA SATHERLEY

On the lookout: Katie Price sat on an X Factor-style panel during the public auditions but the hordes of contestants organisers had anticipated failed to materialise


She was probably prepared to fend off the advances of a legion of desperate wannabes at live auditions for her new reality show.

But Katie Price was left flummoxed when barely a handful of of potential contestants turned up to try out for her latest television show at the Westfield shopping centre in Shepherd's Bush, London.

Amusingly, aides had been expecting hundreds of wannabes to queue for a spot on her find-a-model programme, Discovered By Katie Price, and put up rows of crowd control barriers.


Small gathering: The area around the stage at Westfield was relatively empty


However the glamour model later sat red-faced on an X Factor-style panel as organisers were reduced to begging random shoppers to join in.

A witness told The Sun newspaper: 'It was a disaster. She was on stage with her arms folded and a face like a slapped bottom.

'Her people were trying to tempt shoppers to take part - most of whom would never have passed for a model in a million years.'



What crowds?: The barriers outside Westfield remain empty


On the hotspot: A potential male model stands in front of Katie and her panel at Westfield in Shepherd's Bush, London


The show is being filmed for Sky Living and hopes to use Miss Price's knowledge, gained from fifteen years in the business, to find exciting new talent.

According to the website: 'Katie's on the hunt for "the next big thing" to sign to a new talent agency. The winner will get a year long contract, personal mentoring from Katie and loads of other fabulous prizes.'

The former glamour model was snapped with a huge sparkler on her wedding finger as she arrived at Westfield shopping yesterday, sparking rumours she may be engaged to her current beau Leandro Penna.

Argentinean model Penna, 25, who is thought to have bought the piece of jewellery for her, accompanied Price on her big day.



New bling: Katie Price was snapped wearing the new bing ring on her wedding finger today


Katie’s tweet this morning might have been aimed to dismiss the rumours though, as she posted: ‘Everyone keeps saying I have very big news to announce.

‘I’m confused I don’t know what you mean!’

As well as her new ring, the 33-year-old was also showing off a very heavy tan and large blonde wavy hair.

She dressed up in a little black skirt, tights and a white top alongside black strappy heels on her way to search for the UK’s hottest new model.

The mother-of three tweeted on her way to auditions: ‘I’ve been told very high standard of people auditioning today can’t wait to get there woo hoo.’

Leandro, who Katie has been dating since February this year, joined her for moral support today.

In love: Her Argentinian boyfriend Leandro Penna (right) joined her to the auditions in Westfield


Since sparking up their romance, Katie has already been tattooed on her ankle with the date that they met as a symbol of their love.

Discovered by Katie Price, which will air on Sky Living this autumn, will see Katie set up Black Sheep Management modelling agency to find a model who ‘will break the mould’.

She has started touring the UK to find the new boy or girl who is expected to front commercial marketing campaigns.


Pink lady: Katie drove her huge pink four wheel drive to the auditions today


The successful candidate is expected to have the ‘drive, passion and hunger to rival hers’, according to programme-makers.

Those who make the shortlist will be put through their paces in a series of challenges and learn about the industry in the show.

Talking about the show, Katie said: ‘This is a really personal mission for me. I know I’m a good businesswoman and if I find the right boy of girl, I would like to sign them to my new agency.’


Twice as nice: Peter Andre poses with the 2011 Premier Inn Celebrity Dad of the year award at Premier Inn Kensington Olympia


Meanwhile, Katie's first husband, Peter Andre, has been awarded the title of Celebrity Dad Of The Year.

The singer, 38, picked up the gong for the second year running beating the likes of Elton John and David Furnish - the first ever gay couple to be shortlisted for the award - Jonathan Ross and Michael McIntyre.

The Premier Inn Celebrity Dad of the Year rewards 'the celebrity dad who has impressed the nation by balancing a hectic public life with the demands of parenting", according its blurb.


Family outing: In April Peter took his two children and stepson Harvey to Cyprus while his ex-wife was on holiday in Argentina with new boyfriend Leandro Penna


Andre said: 'This means a huge amount to me as being a dad is my most important role.
'This feels so great. It was an honour to win last year but to still have the public's support and best wishes is a tremendous feeling.'

He also tweeted to followers to express his joy at winning.

Peter wrote: 'Thank you thank you thank you for all who voted . I have just won Celeb Dad of the year. really proud to be a dad to three awesome kids.

'Can't tell you how happy this has made me.Love you guys.Lots of awesome dads out there who all deserve recognition.This ones for you guys.'

He accepted the publicly-voted award at a Premier Inn in Kensington, west London, today.

Andre is father to Junior, five, and Princess, three, from his marriage to Katie Price, and stepfather to her son Harvey, nine.

X Factor judge Paula Abdul shows off her super skinny legs in skin-tight jeans

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Slim pins: Paula Abdul's legs looked shockingly skinny in her jeans when she left the Setai Hotel today on her way to the American X Factor auditions in Miami


Paula Abudul kept her incredible legs under wraps today as she arrived at the Miami X Factor auditions.

But the former singer still managed to show off their incredible shape as she slipped into a pair of skin-tight jeans.

The smiling 48-year-old looked fantastic in her casual attire, teaming her dark blue denims with a grey vest and brown cardigan.

Paula sexed up the look with a pair of vertiginous gold heels, which gave the pint-sized star a little more height.

It's not often Paula is seen dressing down for her X Factor appearances.

She is usually glammed-up to the nines in a designer dress or pencil skirt.


Pint sized proportions: Paula flaunted a tiny frame as she waved to fans in Miami


Svelte factor: TV judge Paula turned heads with her skinny limbs as she left the her hotel in South Beach earlier today


Her understated wardrobe choice still managed to turn heads, though, proving once again that the former 80s pop star's style can grab as many headlines as her younger counterpart, Nicole Scherzinger.

Paula and her fellow X Factor judges are currently staying at the lavish Setai Hotel in Miami's South Beach.

Moments later, Simon Cowell left the hotel and made his way across town to join her.

The 51-year-old British media mogul looked like he may have slept through his alarm.

Rushing out of the hotel lobby, he looked to have barely had time to button-up his shirt and was clutching an assortment of alternative shirts for his TV appearance later that day.

Mon petit amour! Jennifer Lopez takes mini-me daughter Emme for a play date in Paris

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Mini-me: Jennifer Lopez's daughter Emme was the splitting image of her superstar mother as the they spent the day at Parc Monceau in Paris today


There's no doubt that Jennifer Lopez's adorable twin daughter Emme has hit the gene-pool lottery.

The two-year-old twin toddler was the splitting image of her superstar mother as the they spent the day at Parc Monceau in Paris today.

Mother and daughter bore an incredibly striking resemblance to one another as the 41-year-old singer carried her little one through the gardens.

With both girls wearing their hair pulled back, Emme showed she is blessed with her mother's pretty facial features.

Taking a break from the array of dressy ensembles she has worn during her European promotional tour, Jennifer went rather casual for the occasion in a long black maxi dress and tan jacket, paired with matching strappy flat sandals.

She accessorised with some 1950s style white sunglasses and oversized hoop earrings.


Beautiful girls: With both girls wearing their hair pulled back, Emme showed she is blessed with her mother's pretty facial features


Little Emme was cute in a cream skirt, a matching embroidered knit and Mary-Janes.
The youngster was also joined by her twin brother Max, who looks a lot like his father Marc Anthony, who was not present for the family outing.

The little boy looked hip in a pair of jeans, white t-shirt and miniature designer trainers.

J-Lo's mother Guadalupe joined her daughter and grandchildren at the park, along with another family member.

The two toddlers played with toys, with Emme clutching onto dress-up doll and Max, a plastic water-gun.


Family day out: Little Emme was joined by her twin brother Max and her grandmother and J-Lo's mother Guadalupe, far right, and another family member, far left


The entire family then later boarded a merry-go-round and enjoyed the ride.

J-Lo looked especially happy to be having a break from her heavy promotional schedule for her new album Love?

In the last few days the singer has also been wowing with her wardrobe choices as she tours Europe on the chat show circuit.

Yesterday she slipped into a sharp white blazer dress, which flaunted her fabulous figure.


Her legs in particular were accentuated by the thigh-skimming number.

The day before, Jennifer first emerged from her hotel in a grey tunic garland with tiny silver and gold sequins and then later slipped in a mini-dress adorned with pearls.


Fun times: J-Lo and the family then later boarded a merry-go-round and enjoyed the ride


Earlier in the week she flaunted her toned physique in a white figure-hugging white shift dress with chain detail while out and about in London.

J-Lo recently revealed that she was planning a trip to the cinema with her friend Victoria Beckham to see the Hangover 2.

On Alan Carr: Chatty Man! she said: 'We saw Hangover together so now it is a tradition. So when I get back to LA we will go see [The Hangover Part II].'

And she revealed that, in order to get into the screenings without being spotted, Jennifer said they 'go dressed down in sweats and sneakers. We sneak in through the kitchens.'

Hoping for a fitness DVD deal? Josie Gibson shows off her curves on the beach

By ANDREA MAGRATH

Sunshine holiday: Josie Gibson parades on the beach in Marbella in a red bikini


She proudly posed for pictures in a bikini after losing three stone in January.

And while it appears as though Josie Gibson has gained back the weight, it hasn't stopped her proudly parading on the beach in a bikini.

The Big Brother winner wore a skimpy red two-piece during a hen's weekend in Marbella, Spain.

The 26-year-old looked like she is well and truly over her split from John James Parton, laughing and smiling in the sunshine.

Later Josie tucked in to a big lunch at a cafe with a friend, enjoying a large beer to wash it down.

The Bristol blonde announced in late March that she and her former Big Brother housemate had parted ways.


Baywatch moment: The Big Brother winner jogged along the shoreline in another red swimsuit


Chilling out: After her run on the beach, Gibson sat down in the sand


Speaking to Now magazine, she revealed that the Australian taunted her about her weight.

'He put me through so many mind games. He used to go on about my weight all the time,' she said. 'He would take the p**s out of my looks and make me feel ugly. He used to tell me I was thick.

'I can only be myself and I can't always be everyone's cup of tea.

'I think I'm a bit like Marmite, really. People either love me or f****** hate me.

If people like me, they like me; if they don't - they can f*** off!'


Appetite: Josie tucked in to a large lunch by the seaside, with a beer to wash it down


Now and then: Josie appears to have re-gained some of the three stone she lost earlier this year


In January Josie dropped from from 16st 7lbs to 13st 7lbs.

At the time she credited her weight-loss to eating healthily and exercising between three and four times a week.

A friend told Mail Online that she had re-gained some pounds in recent months, and rather than desperately trying to lose the weight fast, Josie is embracing her size 16 figure and designing a plus-size clothing range for Curvissa.
