Editor’s LETTER Oh no – she’s done it again! Actress Jennifer Lawrence just can’t stay upright when she goes to the Oscars! She went head-over-heels on the red carpet last week (bottom left) and at the 2013 awards dramatically tripped on the stairs as she went to accept her award for best actress (bottom right). Even at this year’s Golden Globes, she dropped a diamond bracelet on the floor! But she always laughs off her mishaps, and it’s good to see that glam stars can be clumsy just like us!…

NAUGHTY LIZ! Elizabeth Hurley, 48, has seemingly made a dig at former boyfriend Shane Warne, 44, following the cricketer’s rumoured dalliance with Ultimo lingerie boss Michelle Mone, 42. Elizabeth posted a shot taken from the 1968 movie Planet Of The Apes – which shows actor Charlton Heston kissing a female ape – along with the caption, ‘No accounting for taste.’ Ouch! Lucky B! Beyoncé, 32, certainly won’t be short of a few outfits to wear after being given the run of Topshop’s flagship London store for a three-hour spree. ‘She picked up clothes for herself, friends, family and her daughter,’ an insider said. We’d love to have seen the bill! Keen to make the most of her time in the city, the singer also found time to pop out for…

Former Strictly star Lisa Riley stepped out last week looking happy and confident, but behind the smile she’s masking a pain that’s evident in her recent weight gain. Clearly having piled on a few pounds in recent months, Lisa told pals, ‘I know I comfort eat.’ And it’s not surprising. With her work as a presenter on the latest Strictly tour finished, Lisa, 37, has finally left behind the show she adores, which has seen her through one of the hardest times in her life: the heartache of losing her beloved mum, Cath, to cancer only weeks before Lisa’s debut on the show in 2012. The star has since gone from strength to strength professionally, but with her work commitments it’s doubtful she’s had time to grieve properly. Pals admit that dancing…

Woman’s Own caught up with Jane, 50, as she prepares to release a new album, The Singer Of Your Song, and go on tour, to talk about those pictures, leaving Loose Women and finally having time to spend with her beloved mum Jean. We thought you looked great in your bikini in Barbados, but from your blog you sounded really disappointed! Well, I think the camera never lies and I was shocked. In my head I thought I looked fab. But you did look fab! Oh behave yourself. I looked great from the back, I thought, ’That’s a great derriére’, but then when I turned around I was like, ’What…

Former Strictly Come Dancing star Susanna Reid has been left ’angry « and embarrassed’ after her estranged partner, Dominic Cotton, created a profile on a dating website. The couple, who have been together for 15 years and have three sons, said in a statement that they ’have agreed to separate but remain friends. The welfare of their children Sam, 11, Finn, nine, and Jack, eight, is paramount.’ But it appears that Dominic has wasted no time at all in moving on. According to his profile on match.com, he is ‘currently separated’ and looking for a woman aged 35 to 45. Dominic writes, ‘Underneath my blokeish exterior I am a sensitive soul.
