What a prankster! Kim Kardashian sends stepfather Bruce Jenner into a panic over missing $200k Ferrari

By Leah Simpson


During the last series of her reality show, Kim Kardashian got her family worked up into a frenzy when she burst into tears after losing one of her diamond earrings which she complained she had worked hard for.

So the 31-year-old should have known the effect she’d have on protective stepfather Bruce Jenner when she led him to believe her luxurious car had gone missing.

Kardashian got the former sportsman panicked when they went out for a go kart-riding session yesterday and the 62-year-old expressed his wish to take her car for a spin.

Dreaming up a cunning plan: Kim Kardashian pulled a prank on a her stepfather Bruce Jenner as they filmed their reality show

However the Keeping Up With the Kardashians decided to take matters into her own hands when it came to protecting her $220,000 Ferrari 458 Italia.

The brunette stepped out to move the flashy set of wheels to a location where Jenner wouldn’t be able to get his hands on it.

Bruce was clearly concerned for the whereabouts of the white hot vehicle, taking to his mobile phone to report it stolen.

Where is it? Bruce was clearly panicked when the vehicle appeared to be missing from where it was originally parked

However Kim later came out to let him know it was all a joke and she had in fact parked it out of his reach.

Thankfully a stressed Bruce saw the funny side and all was forgiven as she hugged him to apologise for frightening him.

The pair are very close after the father of The Hills star Brody Jenner, married Kardashian’s mother Kris Jenner when Kim was just a child.

Fooled you! Kim who donned leather trousers and designer shoes for the outing later showed him to where she had moved the car

He even walked her down the aisle when she got hitched to her estranged husband, basketball player Kris Humphries, last August.

While Bruce was dressed more appropriately for their day of sports activities, Kim was in the mood putting on a fashion show.

She donned a sky high Christian Louboutin heels which were hardly likely to help her put her foot down when racing around the track, along with a pair of leather trousers which complimented her rounded derrière.

With her hair pinned back away from her face, the star - who is dating rapper Kanye West – teamed the look with a black and grey button up vest and large hoop earrings.


Utter relief: Thankfully the former sportsman saw the funny side and all was forgiven

Tatt's not good enough for the cover then: Megan Fox's back inking is airbrushed from front of magazine

By Kimberley Dadds


She's one of the hottest women in Hollywood so Megan Fox rarely has to be photoshopped for magazine spreads.

But the editors of France's Grazia obviously wanted to change her image when they edited one of her back tattoos out of her cover photo.

The Transformers actress was shot in a sultry pose for the front of the May issue.

Cover girl: Megan Fox appears on the front of Grazia France's May issue - minus a Nietzsche tattoo she has often been spotted showing off

And although one of her tattoos, a Shakespeare King Lear quote, was shown in the picture, her other tattoo - a Nietzsche quote - was erased for the image.

Megan adorns the cover dressed in a revealing white and black racerback frock, which shows off most of her back.

She smouldered for the camera as she put her right hand up, which showed off a large white and gold ring.

Spot the difference: But editors chose to include the exact same image in the centre of the magazine, without the image being doctored

The editors clearly didn't mind her Shakespeare tattoo which reads: 'We will all laugh at gilded butterflies'.

But they doctored out her other inking, which has the words by the German philosopher, reading: 'And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.'

What makes the photoshopped picture even more odd is that on the inside pages of the same edition of the magazine, the exact same shot of Megan is shown - with her tattoo still intact.

On show: Heads at fashion brand Armani were happy to show off Megan's tattoo in their advertising campaigns

The same tattoo has previously been seen on the stunning actress when she has stripped to her bikini on various beach holidays.

And heads at Armani clearly didn't mind it when they included it in a number of their advertising campaigns.

Fox is known for her penchant for skin art and has a total of eight altogether.
Although there is one that she wasn't quite as fond of - a portrait of screen legend Marilyn Monroe on her right forearm.

She has undergone laser surgery to remove the inking because she wants to avoid attracting 'negative energy'.

She explained when she started surgery to erase it last year: 'I'm removing it. It is a negative character, as she suffered from personality disorders and was bipolar. I do not want to attract this kind of negative energy in my life.'

Vera Wang puts model on Photoshop diet, slimming waist to impossible proportions

By Kristie Lau


Another day, another Photoshop fail of epic proportions. The waist of a Vera Wang model appears to have been airbrushed to an impossibly tiny size, making it almost narrower than the width of her head.

The model, who wore a White by Vera Wang bridesmaid gown, and appeared on the David's Bridal website, had a slender, yet normally proportioned waist in a back view.

The front shot, however, saw the model's midriff whittled down to what seems to be almost half its actual size.

Bizarre: A model dressed in a Vera Wang bridesmaid gown is shown with a super skinny waistline that looks to be the same size as her head. A back view shows a far more proportional waistline

Even more ridiculously, the $168 gown, is magically transformed from the charcoal-coloured design seen from the front to an entirely different amethyst tone when viewed at the back, Jezebel.com points out.

In fact, the back view image shows what could actually be a different gown - and model - altogether.

While the front view displays a tight bodice all the way to the knees, the back view falls loose just below the bottom.

It seems odd that David's Bridal would include an inaccurate image of the asymmetrical design from the designer's Fall 2011 collection.

According to Vera Wang’s official website, the stockist is one of few who sell the White bridal collection so correct images of the gown should be readily available.

Regardless, the model who is wearing the dress is seen with a correct-proportioned waist throughout other photographs in the collection.

It is not the first time a model's waist has been airbrushed to appear slimmer.

Ralph Lauren used Photoshop in 2009 to shave so much off model Filippa Hamilton's frame that her waist appeared narrower than the width of her head - despite the fact that she was already a U.S. size 4.

The fashion label later apologised for the unnecessary edit.

A spokesperson said at the time: 'After further investigation, we have learned that we are responsible for the poor imaging and retouching that resulted in a very distorted image of a woman's body.'

Grazia magazine was also guilty of its own careless picture alteration.

The British title admitted to whittling down the size of the Duchess of Cambridge's waist for the front cover of a special Royal Wedding edition.

A spokesperson called the Photoshop job an 'accident'.

The American Medical Association introduced a policy against excessive Photoshop use last year.

The organisation released a statement that said it would 'discourage the altering of photographs in a manner that could promote unrealistic expectations of appropriate body image.'

Hope you're keeping up with the Steps! Claire Richards busts a move onstage as she continues band's reunion tour

By J J Anisiobi


Keeping up with Steps: Claire seemed to be back in her groove as she executed some of those old school moves on the Steps reunion tour

Claire Richards had reportedly received extra training ahead of the tour - but she appeared to be back in her groove as she hit the stage in Manchester this week.

The 34-year-old busted out the old moves band Steps became famous for, as she wore a tight black peplum top and matching leggings on stage at the M.E.N Arena.

And she didn't appear to be having any trouble keeping up with her bandmates.

Reunited and it feels so good: Steps seen live on the Manchester date of their reunion tour

A review for the Manchester Evening News praised the 'parade of glitzy co-ordinated outfits – designed to flatter the individual members, of course, with many eyes on Claire who has had a well-documented battle with her weight.'

And it seems she proved popular with the audience, as the reviewer she she got 'the biggest cheers of the night with her every move.'

Earlier today the Steps singer was seen as she checked out of her Manchester hotel along with the rest of her bandmates before she jumped on a coach to Nottingham.

The 34-year-old kept a low profile in a pair of large sunglasses and was seen holding the plastic waterproof cover from her child's push chair.

Curvaceous Claire was dressed in a pair of black leggings with a plain top and black boots which she teamed with a green army style jacket.

The singer was making her way to Nottingham to continue the comeback tour of the 90s group along with Ian H Watkins, Lisa Scott-Lee, Faye Tozer and Lee Latchford-Evans.
Bandmate Faye, 36, looked svelte best as she left the hotel.

The mother-of-one showed off her slim figure in a pair of tight trousers which she wore with grey UGG boots and a loose fitting blue top.

The blonde star wasn't the only band member who chose to wear the extra comfy footwear as pint sized performer Lisa stepped out in a similar pair.

The Welsh-born star looked relaxed behind a pair of large sunglasses but it was Lee that looked truly pleased to be back on the road.

The 37-year-old had a sly grin on his face as he made his way to the coach with his hood pulled up over head.

The laid back singer turned actor has been keeping himself in good shape and hit the gym on a regular basis.

Little and large: Lee Latchford-Evans and Lisa Scott-Lee were in better moods as they boarded the coach to Nottingham


He tweeted today: 'Morning workout followed by @USN_UK IGF Pure Protein. Now on bus heading to Nottingham! Think I've got a big show tonight ha ha x'.

The groups tour has been sold out and critics and fans alike have been heaping praise on the former chart toppers.

Some fans took to Twitter to talk about the show with one person stating: 'Just seen Steps In Manchester! I felt 10 years old again! So magical! To anyone who thinks they can't sing...Go to this tour! Amazing!!'

Another person said: 'On my train home, had a fab time in Manchester as always! Steps again tomorrow... Why not!'.

The tour, which kicked off in Belfast last week, was set to end in London next Thursday but due to popular demand the band will continue until the end of the month finishing in Sheffield.

'The way I look makes it hard to meet men': UK's biggest female bodybuilder reveals why she's still single after nine years

By Sadie Whitelocks


She's spent years bulking up in a bid to be a world champion bodybuilder.

But now Rene Campbell, 35, claims that her muscular physique has stopped her from finding love, and for the past nine years she has remained single.

The self-confessed 'Bigorexic' from Brighton, who has two children from a previous marriage, says that most men are turned off by her stacked 13.st 5lb appearance and find it difficult to cope with her regimented lifestyle.

Looking for love: Rene Campbell has spent years perfecting her body in a bid to be a top bodybuilder

Ms Campbell, who boasts 26 inch thighs and size 18 shoulders, works out intensively for two hours a day and sticks to a strict meal plan, which sees her eating seven chicken breasts and consuming 4,200 calories in the space of little more than 12 hours.

While she is proud of the way she looks, the divorcee says her appearance also has its downfalls.

'I’m single at the moment after splitting with my ex-husband – dad to my two sons – nine years ago.


While she is proud of the way she looks, the divorced mother says her appearance also has its downfalls

'I’d love a boyfriend who could cheer me on at competitions and cook my chicken for me, but the way I look does make it harder to meet men.

'But what makes having a relationship even harder is finding someone who can put up with my regimented lifestyle.

'I was dating two years ago, but the guy struggled with the fact that I had to put my training first,' she told Now Magazine:

Ms Campbell describes that she now feels 'married' to the bodybuilding industry.

The British national champion, who was no stranger to sports after years of long distance running and triathlons, first started bodybuilding in 2008, as she began to idolise women with muscular strength.

She set her self the task of becoming Britain’s biggest female bodybuilder and gradually her slender frame transformed as she tripled her calorie intake and sought the help of a personal trainer.

She now loves exhibiting her strong body and feels more confident than when she was a slender size 8.

She adds: 'For the first time in my life, I feel comfortable in my own skin.

'I can’t ever imagine being thin again – I’m so much happier this way.
'For now, I guess I’m married to the industry.'
