Twiggy and her daughter Carly Lawson like to chat, often at the same time. Their conversation, peppered with raucous laughter, weaves in and out of various topics as they talk over, and occasionally finish, each other’s sentences. They hoot at the suggestion that Leigh Lawson, Twiggy’s husband of 25 years and Carly’s stepdad, must have to fight to get a word in. “We’re all very loud,” says the fashion icon and designer, who has described her 35-year-old daughter as her best friend. HELLO!’s shoot marks Mother’s Day, but the pair will, unusually, be apart this year; Twiggy, 64, who divides her time between London, Suffolk and the US, will be in New York and Florida. Normally she and Carly celebrate the day together and Twiggy still displays the handmade gifts…

She was UK football’s first female managing director but last week Karren Brady was promoted to a different kind of premier league. The businesswoman and Lord Sugar’s sidekick on The Apprentice was invested with her CBE at Buckingham Palace by the Duke of Cambridge (right), with husband Paul Peschisolido and their children Sophia and Paolo (left) looking on. Karren, who was honoured for services to entrepreneurship and women in business, said it was an “awesome achievement”. With a stint as MD at Birmingham City behind her, the 44-year-old and the “fanatical” Aston Villa-supporting Prince William had plenty to talk about. “He asked if I would like to… go and work for Aston Villa,” said Karren, now vice-chairman of West Ham United. “Unfortunately, I said not.”…

Seated in the back of a colourful rickshaw on a crowded street in Vietnam, Norway’s Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit couldn’t resist taking a fun royal selfie. With their official escorts waiting patiently, the couple also invited their delighted driver to join them in the snapshot (right) before he took them back to their hotel in Hanoi. It was one of several lighthearted moments during a whirlwind tour of the South-East Asian country. The couple’s nonstop schedule saw them attend a welcome reception at the Presidential Palace, visit the 11th-century Temple of Literature and be formally honoured at a state banquet, followed by a concert at the capital’s elegant opera house. Mother-of-three Mette-Marit looked stylish throughout the trip, but caught special attention with the cream silk top, lace…

Each year, Sport Relief encourages celebrities to take on challenges that are way outside their comfort zones. In 2014, it was the turn of Alex Jones, who was left feeling on top of the world (right) after climbing Utah’s Moonlight Buttress. The One Show presenter became a rock star by scaling the 1,200ft precipice (below) to raise more than £300,000. “I can’t believe I’m at the top,” said Alex, who celebrated her 37th birthday during the climb. “It’s such a feeling of elation. I just wanted to touch solid ground for so long. Everything aches – the bottom of my back, my hands are in pieces…” It took the Welsh-born beauty, who spent three months training for the event and two days and nights to finish – she slept in…

Singer Fergie was among the millions of Americans saying sláinte to St Patrick’s Day celebrations last week. The Black Eyed Peas vocalist – who has Irish ancestry – attended a party in California with her husband, actor Josh Duhamel, and their six-month-old son Axl, who had more than Irish eyes smiling with his leprechaun hat and black-and-white Guinness-hued outfit (left and above). Fergie could be even closer to the Emerald Isle, following reports she’s joining Simon Cowell and Cheryl Cole on the judging panel of The X Factor . “It’s not a done deal just yet, but things have been positive,” said a source. If true, Fergie will no doubt be hoping her stint will be as successful as that of fellow BEP member Will.i.am on BBC1’s The Voice .…

‘I have a worm farm. So if people say, “Do I have worms?” I can say, “Yes”’ Green-fingered star Dannii Minogue (left) unearths a passion for gardening ‘Long hair...... Don’t Care!!!!!!’ Madonna was Causing a Commotion after she uploaded a photo of her hairy armpit to Instagram ‘I don’t think dads do changing nappies. I’ll leave that up to the nanny’ It’s a no from new dad Simon Cowell when it comes to dealing with dirty diapers ‘It’s lonely. It’s aggressive. You kind of don’t want to watch your kids go through it’ Ex-Wimbledon ace Andre Agassi isn’t keen for his kids to get into the tennis racquet ‘I always knew I was going to be a millionaire. I’m a Trotter, so it is going to happen at some stage’…

L’Wren Scott first started making clothes when she was growing up as a teenager in Utah and couldn’t find anything to fit her 6ft-and-growing, gazelle-like silhouette. Yet it is testament to her skills as the designer she went on to become that her dresses came to be worn by celebrities of all shapes and sizes – from the petite Sarah Jessica Parker to the curvaceous Oprah Winfrey. L’Wren had an instinctive feel for elegance and a womanly eloquence that spoke of another, more gentle age, perhaps a remembrance of her early love of vintage pieces. Yet there was a sense of the sensual, exquisite exotic, too, about both her and her designs. It is why they were so beloved by the rich and famous, including Jennifer Lawrence, Michelle Obama, Angelina…

As Shakira happily says, this has been the best year of her life – and it’s all down to one person, her little boy Milan. The hugely successful singer-songwriter became a mother for the first time 14 months ago and has been deeply in love ever since. “Milan comes first in everything,” Colombian-born Shakira, 37, says of her son, whose father is FC Barcelona defender Gerard Piqué. The singer met the Spanish international, who is ten years her junior, when he appeared in the video for her song Waka Waka , the official anthem for the 2010 World Cup. After a break from the recording studio, this week sees the release of the singer’s tenth album, simply titled Shakira . Fans have already been treated to the first single –…

Dame Angela Lansbury made a triumphant return to the West End last week in Noel Coward’s Blithe Spirit , reprising the role of dotty medium Madame Arcati that won her a fifth Tony award on Broadway in 2009. It is the first time in almost 40 years that the Murder, She Wrote actress has performed on the stage in Britain – and it’s at the very same venue – now the Gielgud Theatre – where her mother, Moyna MacGill, made her debut in 1918. “It feels like coming home,” says the 88-year-old, who was born in London but evacuated to the US during the Second World War when she was 14. “I feel the British people know me so well through movies and the television and I feel very at…

She made her name in movies and now Bond Girl Gemma Arterton is hoping for similar success in London’s theatre world. Earlier this year the Kent-born actress opened the candlelit Sam Wanamaker Playhouse at Shakespeare’s Globe with an acclaimed run of The Duchess of Malfi. And the 28-year-old has just been unveiled as the host of this year’s prestigious Olivier Awards, alongside Stephen Mangan, who is treading the boards in Olivier-nominated comedy Jeeves & Wooster in Perfect Nonsense. “Darling, I’ve never been [before],” she said of the awards, adding her busy schedule has meant she hasn’t been able to see all of the nominees. “I think I’ll have to wing it on the night. I have seen a lot, but I have been away working and was in the theatre…

They were one of the most successful girlbands this country has ever produced and, since Girls Aloud called it a day for good a year ago, all five singers – Sarah Harding, Cheryl Cole, Nadine Coyle, Nicola Roberts and Kimberley Walsh – have achieved individual success in a variety of fields. Last week, Sarah began the daunting process of starting her solo music career, kicking it off in grand style by performing a set at Kensington Palace, the London home of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. Speaking exclusively to HELLO! , Sarah told us of her nerves ahead of her Palace debut, which saw her take part in a show that celebrated five years of the Street Child charity, which aims to create educational opportunity for some of the…

In her animal-print jacket, Cheryl Cole was front-row fabulous at the Roberto Cavalli catwalk show in Milan, pumping up the glamour with a winning nude lip and statement eye combination created by make-up artist Arianna Cattarin. “The inspiration was a true Cavalli look,” Arianna says. “The classic Roberto Cavalli muse always has big, sexy eyes and amazing skin.” Here, Arianna reveals the secret behind the look. Face facts Primer, foundation, concealer and powder are essential, says Arianna. “I primed Cheryl’s skin with L’Oréal Paris Skin Perfection Day Moisturiser, £16.99 (4), to really set the base. Then I then applied L’Oréal Paris True Match Foundation in Nude Beige, £9.99.” You will also need to remove any hint of minor imperfections to create a blank canvas. “I used YSL Touche Eclat, £25…

Mother’s Day is a huge deal in Liverpool – it’s different from anywhere else I’ve been. In the evening all the mums and daughters and the aunties and the nans get dressed up and go out for dinner and a dance and you don’t see a man for miles. It’s all about spending time with the girls and giving the mums a good night out. This year I’m going to be on a girlie trip with my mum [Karen, pictured right] and my sister [Elle] for Mother’s Day and Pete is going to be looking after Sophia [Abbey and Peter’s daughter, who turned three recently]. Having lost my nan so recently, it is going to be a difficult day for my mum especially, so we’re going to go somewhere really…

Like many people who come into contact with Will.i.am, Joanna Lumley has fallen under the spell of the charismatic US star of BBC1’s The Voice. “He was everything I had hoped he’d be, and more – charming, articulate, a whirlwind of ambition and talent, as sweet as pie and as dandy as a peacock,” says Joanna, having jumped at the chance to hang out with the singer-songwriter and founder member of The Black Eyed Peas at his palatial Los Angeles home for a new documentary. “The film we made is truly a rare thing,” she adds. “It affords a glimpse into the life of the musician, entrepreneur and philanthropist that has made Will.i.am a household name and a megastar.” Joanna clearly holds a huge torch for the 39-year-old, who takes…

With her endless legs in killer heels and blonde hair tumbling over her shoulders, Rebecca Adlington seems perfectly at ease as she poses in a contour-hugging dress. Indeed, the double Olympic gold medal-winning swimmer says she’s never felt better. “I feel good about myself right now,” tells the 25-year-old, showing confidence a world away from the insecurities she revealed about her appearance last year in I’m a Celebrity… Get Me out of Here! . Joining Rebecca – Britain’s most successful swimmer in a century – is her mother Kay, the perfect duo for HELLO!’s exclusive celebratory photoshoot ahead of Mother’s Day. They are used to being in each other’s company; Kay endured more than six years of 4am starts to take her daughter from the family home in Mansfield to…

It was not just the newborns who were crying when the Countess of Wessex returned to Frimley Park Hospital in Surrey to open a neonatal unit. Both Sophie’s children were born there so it held special memories for her – and in terms of emotional scenes, this was one royal visit that could not fail to deliver. The Countess met new parents (below), infants and hospital staff but it was while recalling her personal connection with the hospital that her feelings brimmed over. In 2003, Sophie was rushed to Frimley Park when she suffered a life-threatening placental abruption in the final stages of her pregnancy with daughter Lady Louise. Dangerously ill from blood loss, she had an emergency Caesarean, performed by the Queen’s gynaecologist Sir Marcus Setchell, and remained at…

With mounting speculation that she could one day find herself living in the ultimate des-res, Cressida Bonas has found herself a home in the rather less salubrious surroundings of Shepherd’s Bush, West London. Prince Harry’s love has reportedly found a flat in the increasingly trendy area, which counts the likes of Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Carey Mulligan among local faces and is only a short Tube journey from her royal boyfriend’s home. “She and her friend Daisy have been hunting for somewhere nice and cheap but also close to Kensington Palace,” a source said. “She has no intention of living with Harry just yet.” A West London postcode is not the only thing Harry and Cressida apparently have in common, however – genealogists have discovered they are distantly related. As well…

As an international pop star with legions of fans, you’d think Nicole Scherzinger would be used to seeing posters of herself. But the former X Factor judge couldn’t contain her excitement when she spotted an ad for her new Missguided clothing collection last week. The singer stunned passers-by as she darted into a central London Tube station to strike a pose next to a poster of herself (left). She was equally blown away by her appearance on the side of a London double-decker. “My new collection and MY FACE on the side of a bus! LOL!,” she tweeted. The Don’t Hold Your Breath star spent last week in the UK, where she showed off her Schamazing figure in one of her own LBDs (left), featuring sexy side panels, as she…

ELSA PATAKY AND CHRIS HEMSWORTH Couple announce twin boys Spanish actress Elsa Pataky, 37, has given birth to twin boys, her second and third children with Thor star Chris Hemsworth, 30. The proud parents are yet to reveal the names of the new arrivals, who were born in Los Angeles. The couple are already parents to daughter India Rose, who will turn two in May. CHRIS BROWN Star is back in jail Singer Chris Brown was jailed last week after bragging he was “good at using guns and knives” during a group therapy session in rehab. The 24-year-old has been under court supervision since assaulting then-girlfriend Rihanna on the eve of the 2009 Grammy Awards. He was sentenced to a 90-day anger management course in November after he threw a…

I first realised there was a problem with my hearing about three years ago when meeting Princess Anne. Her French is impeccable, but I had to ask her several times to repeat herself. I have a photograph of myself leaning in, trying to understand what on earth she is saying to me. But I didn’t do anything about it and the problem got worse. If I couldn’t work out what people were saying to me, I either looked like I was ignoring them or just pretended I was too busy doing something else. There was also the language issue. Although I have been here for 30 years, I sometimes wasn’t sure if it was a misunderstanding on my part. Matters came to a head last June. I was at the…

Soprano Camilla Kerslake’s relationship with England rugby union captain Chris Robshaw is changing key, she tells HELLO! – they’re tuning up for marriage and babies. “I’ll become a mum over the next few years,” says Camilla from her chic hotel room in Brussels, where Chris, her beau of four years, has whisked her away for a mini-break. “We’ve been building an extension at home to create more room for this. “Because of our ages – I’m 25 and Chris is 27 – we’ve just begun to think about it seriously. Chris has always said he’d prefer to start a family before he’s 30 and although we’ve not discussed exactly when, we both want it. “I’d like two children and would adopt a third,” adds Camilla. “Chris would probably want a…

The washout winter is likely to be bad news for hay fever sufferers as all the warm, wet weather has opened the floodgates to a rising pollen count. The birch pollen season has already begun in the south and is quickly moving across the country, travelling northwards at about five degrees longitude per week. Hay fever is on the rise and it is predicted that the number of sufferers in the UK will increase by 5 per cent a year, particularly in built-up areas. At present, the figure stands at 16 million and, for the vast majority of sufferers, an allergy to grass pollen is to blame – which is why high summer is the time of year most commonly associated with the sneezes, sniffles and red itchy eyes…

Four months after welcoming her third child, son Bear Blaze, Kate Winslet set the red carpet alight as she arrived for the LA premiere of Divergent in a Safiyaa London gown which showed off her post-natal curves to perfection. “Mother Nature has been a little kinder to me this time,” remarked 38-year-old Kate, who’d appeared in a similar dress shortly before her due date. The Oscar-winner has made it clear that shedding her pregnancy pounds isn’t down to any rigorous regime. “Having just had a baby, I’m not going to be thinking about my a**e,” the straight-talking Brit told Glamour magazine in January. Kate plays cold and calculating Jeanine Matthews in Divergent , a role she thoroughly enjoyed. After joking: “It was great to feel I was intimidating people every…

Denmark deployed not one but two impossibly glamorous Princesses to welcome the Turkish President Abdullah Gül and his wife Hayrünnisa to the country on their state visit last week. Both Crown Princess Mary (left, with Crown Prince Frederik) and her elegant sister-in-law Princess Marie (above and far left, with Prince Joachim) could have been mistaken for film stars as they posed on the red carpet amid a blaze of flashbulbs before entering a gala dinner at Amalienborg Palace. A single glance at the Princesses’ jewels made it obvious, though, that they belong to one of Europe’s oldest royal houses. Even Hollywood royalty would find it hard to match Mary’s heavy pearl necklace with its blush-toned pendant, let alone her magnificent wedding tiara, for which her pink brocade gown by Carla…

With her great legs and impeccable breeding, who better than Jodie Kidd to be the face of one of horse racing’s most prestigious events? The fashion favourite has teamed up with milliner Philip Treacy for this year’s Derby Festival at Epsom. In the collaboration, Jodie models looks inspired by different areas of the Surrey racecourse – The Hill, The Duchess Stand and the Queen’s Stand – showcasing the role style plays at the two-day event. “I’ve always been a fan of horses and have been riding since I was small so I am really excited to take two of my passions – fashion and racing,” Jodie, 35, told HELLO!. “I can’t wait to put on a beautiful Philip Treacy hat and soak up the atmosphere on Derby Day. I can’t…

She became an overnight superstar and sensationally made it into the record books as she skied her way to Paralympic glory, receiving acclaim from the likes of Victoria Beckham along the way. No wonder Kelly Gallagher and her guide Charlotte Evans were jumping for joy as they mounted the Paralympic podium in Sochi earlier this month (above, with Kelly on the right). Racing down the slopes at speeds of 60mph (bottom left), the partially sighted skier and her guide took the Super-G slalom title in 1 min 28.72 sec to win not only their first gold but Britain’s first for skiing in either the Winter Olympics or the Paralympics. “Every morning I have to pinch myself. I just can’t stop looking at my medal,” Kelly, 28, who suffers from the…

Nobody can forget her dazzling appearance in a white bikini on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! in 2006 (below). And Myleene Klass, who is now a mother of two, showed she still has a figure to die for on a recent trip to South Africa. Before diving in for some shark spotting, the 35-year-old joked on Twitter: “Off to see something with a bigger mouth than me.” Although the sharks didn’t give her a fright, she did have a scary moment when she landed to find her luggage missing. But as she told HELLO! last week: “Ultimately, all you need is your passports, some money and basic clothes rolled up. You will get by regardless if your bags get lost – which mine have now done countless…

She’s just about to open a smart new store. And like any smart businesswoman, Victoria Beckham wanted to check on its progress. So, last week, the 39-year-old fashion designer headed to London’s Dover Street with her husband David in tow to visit what will be her first stand-alone boutique when it opens in the autumn. The 7,000sq ft store, with an interior designed by architect Farshid Moussavi, is a major move for Victoria, who said about it recently: “I think the time is now because I know my customer. It will be the first time that the people will really be able to see the brand through my eyes.” The store will sell all of Victoria’s brands including her ready to wear lines and denim, sunglasses and accessories ranges. FAREWELL…

South African Paralympic star Oscar Pistorius put his home on the market last week with the aim of raising funds to cover legal costs. The athlete hasn’t returned to the R5million (£277,000) five-bedroom home in the capital Pretoria since he fatally shot girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp through the bathroom door on Valentine’s Day last year and “cannot contemplate ever returning to live there again”, said his lawyer Brian Webber. “Due to the delay in finalising the trial, the decision to urgently dispose of his single biggest asset has had to be made,” he added. The murder trial has been running for four weeks. The court heard last week that the runner, who has had both his lower legs amputated, was wearing his prosthetic limbs at the time of the shooting. Oscar,…

In the aftermath of the shocking suicide of L’Wren Scott, it was Rolling Stone Charlie Watts who expressed the absolute devastation of her long-time partner, his bandmate Sir Mick Jagger. “He’s not really well,” he said, as the Stones prepared to fly out of Australia, having postponed their Asia/Pacific tour after hearing the terrible news. “He’s not really here.” Those two short sentences said it all. L’Wren’s tragic death has left Sir Mick bereft, in anguish and absolute disbelief that the woman he believed he would spend the rest of his life with had taken such desperate measures. Last Monday morning, the fashion designer hanged herself inside her luxury New York apartment. She was discovered by an assistant to whom L’Wren had sent a text, asking her to go round…

Scarlett Johansson was radiant in red at last week’s UK premiere of Captain America: The Winter Soldier. The actress, who plays Black Widow Natasha Romanoff in the latest film in the Avengers franchise, joined co-stars Chris Evans, Samuel L Jackson and Anthony Mackie at the packed premiere in London’s Westfield. Scarlett – expecting her first child with fiancé Romain Duriac – chose a Vivienne Westwood dress that flattered her barely-there five-month baby bump, upping the glamour with deep red lips and leopard print heels (far left) to greet fans. “It’s unbelievably overwhelming to be here. The fans are inspiring, and I’m excited for them to see the movie,” she said, noting fans who had come dressed as their favourite Avengers superhero. “We’ve got a few Black Widows out here today.…

As BBC Breakfast’s Susanna Reid prepares to make a multimillion-pound switch to ITV, former daytime TV favourites Richard and Judy say too much pressure is placed on presenters and that show bosses need to be more patient. Speaking on the red carpet at the Royal Television Society Programme Awards last week, the couple said there was no formula to getting it right, something they discovered after moving from ITV to Channel 4 in 2001. “Most people discover what works purely by accident,” Richard Madeley, 57, told HELLO!. When asked if Susanna was the one to turn around ITV’s early morning fortunes, he said: “I think that’s a huge burden to put on anyone’s shoulders, it’s never as simple as that. The chemistry of that kind of programme is very delicate,…

REGGAE, STEADY GO Acclaimed actress Helena Bonham Carter got into the carnival spirit as she hosted A Night of Reggae at London’s Roundhouse, which raised more than £1.4million for Save the Children. The 450 VIP guests, including newsreader Jon Snow, Pointless presenter Alexander Armstrong and Bridget Jones author Helen Fielding, enjoyed a champagne reception plus Jamaican patties and jerk chicken, before a feast of reggae from stars including Jimmy Cliff, Dawn Penn and Maxi Priest got everyone dancing the night away.

Guests enjoyed champagne and canapés as they listened to stirring speeches by…

It’s a look that’s oh-so tempting, yet surprisingly hard to perfect; the new nude, as seen on the catwalks of Valentino, Balmain, Preen and Dolce & Gabbana. It’s the effortlessly gorgeous make-up that Jennifer Lopez, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Cara Delevingne often wear, but you need to know how to master it. “Nude make-up is timelessly beautiful and always popular because what you see is the face and not the make-up,” says Caroline Barnes, who creates flawless looks for the likes of Anna Friel, Cheryl Cole, Pixie Lott, Nicole Scherzinger and Mollie King, and has launched her own collection of Max Factor nude lip glosses. “But make no mistake – nude make-up does not mean no make-up and the key to getting the look right lies in the details.” Here Caroline…

Aries 21 MAR – 20 APR People misunderstand each other more often than they realise. Some cynics even argue that when two individuals believe themselves to be in total agreement it is probably because neither fully gets what the other envisages.

I need to tell you how the Equinox can lift your spirits. Call 0906-751 8080. Taurus 21 APR – 21 MAY Your key to future success lies in reexamining something you think of as a failure. Something that happened a while ago that you feel bad about. A sense of recrimination or regret is colouring…

Being reunited with Olivia Colman and the rest of the Rev cast for a third series of the Bafta-winning sitcom has been “like an old family reunion”, says lead actor Tom Hollander. “There’s a relaxation of putting on a, you know, favourite old cardigan or something.” There is a surprise in store for Tom’s inner-city vicar Adam and long-suffering wife Alex (Olivia). “There’s a new baby, which messes up their lives more, screws up their sex life and invites more people into their house,” he says. Adds Olivia: “The baby suddenly belongs to the parish. So everyone who is knocking on the door anyway is now also knocking on the door to look after the baby.” The Twenty Twelve actress hasn’t been entirely surprised by the success of Rev. “You…
