By Jody Thompson


Smiling in the rain: The Saturdays star Mollie King was beaming despite wearing tiny hotpants in the wet and chilly summer weather as she left Manchester's Lowry Hotel today


It's been raining today in many parts of Britain, not least up north as the UK's wonderful summer continues - but The Saturdays star Mollie King seems to take the sunshine with her wherever she goes.

She and the girls were pictured leaving Manchester's Lowry Hotel today in biting wind and rain - but despite the inclement weather, Mollie brightened up the day with her sunny smile - and by baring her pins despite the chill.

The blonde beauty was wearing tiny black hotpants and smiling broadly as bandmates Una Healy and Vanessa White covered up in jeans and grimaced in the weather alongside her.

Summer in the city: Mollie (L) was still grinning as her bandmates Una Healy (C) and Vanessa White (R) grimaced in the weather despite wearing jeans

Stand by me: Rochelle Wiseman had also covered up in Manchester with a brilliant 'Kate Mouse' T-shirt with jeans and jacket, with Frankie Sandford in tight trousers and a blazer

Homeward bound: Una had a smile on her face once she was in the warm car ready for the journey home


Good natured Mollie appears to be cheerful whatever the situation too.

Constantly on the road right now, the girls had been filming with the BBC today in Manchester and were heading back down south tonight.

But Mollie wrote tonight: 'Singing musical songs on the bus home from Manchester!!! The best by FAR starlight express!!!!!!!!'

Just popping out: Una and the girls played a gig supporting Boyzone in South Queensferry, Scotland, last night, before filming for the BBC in Manchester today

On song: Rochelle (L) was wearing a spiked bra top for the show in the grounds of a stately home, while Vanessa was in shorts and a leather jacket


Rochelle also tweeted that she'd had fun in Manchester, writing: 'Thanks to everyone waiting outside in Manchester, nice to see you all xx'

The girls had been up in Scotland last night, supporting Boyzone at their open air gig at Hopetoun House stately home in South Queensferry.

They had donned their more usual skimpy outfits for the show, with Rochelle wearing a daring spike-studded bra top and Una almost falling out of her tight pink bustier.

Pout and about: Una and the girls have been on the road promoting their new single All Fired Up


Vanessa meanwhile was wearing turquoise cut-offs and an orange and pink tie-dye top - though she kept warm in a black leather jacket.

Meanwhile, the video for the girl group's forthcoming single All Fired Up will be premiered on their official website on Tuesday.

There's a 30-second teaser of the video, featuring behind the scenes footage, currently on the site.

The five bandmates look stunning in a variety of different outfits, striking sultry poses.

Clap your hands: The single hits the shops on 4 September


In the clip, they can be seen in a studio dancing, splashing around in water and even being covered in large specks of glitter.

The single is released on 4 September.

Beforehand, the band have live appearances on August 13 at Towneley Live Festival, with dates on August 20 at V Festival in Weston Park, Stafford, and the day after at the other leg of the bash at Hylands Park, Chelmsford.

Her first ever close-up: Victoria Beckham tweets new picture of David holding Harper, as he reveals tattoo of daughter's name

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Daddy's angel: David Beckham poses with his daughter and shows the world his little girl's angelic face

Proud mum Victoria Beckham has tweeted a picture of David cuddling their newborn daughter.

Little Harper Seven gazes into the camera for her first ever close-up, of which many more are likely to follow.

The former Spice Girl wrote: 'I took this beautiful picture and wanted to share it with you, baby Harper cuddling Daddy! x VB'


Daddy's girl: The Harper tattoo was unveiled tonight it's full glory after LA Galaxy beat FC Dallas


Just last night, David displayed his latest inking after scoring for LA Galaxy, his daughter's name in fancy font.

The father-of-four, 36 , removed his shirt after playing a key role in the club's 3-1 win over FC Dallas, and seemed cockahoop to cement his performance with a goal.

So it seems that his young daughter's name is quite the lucky talisman.


Family friends: Gordon keeps an eye on the match while looking after the Beckham clan and his own daughters


His other charm came in the guise of friend Gordon Ramsay, who was cheering him on from the stands with his own children and the Beckham boys Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz.

David's first baby girl with wife Victoria was born earlier last month and David gave a teasing glimpse of the new inking on his neck just weeks later during a television interview.


Questioning the referee: David's personal supporters appear to be annoyed with the action on the pitch


The inking sits just above his tattoo of Jesus being carried by three cherubs, which are meant to symbolise sons Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, eight and Cruz, six.

Beckham said at the time: ‘It’s Jesus being carried by three cherubs and obviously the cherubs are my boys and so my thought of it is that at some point my boys are going to need to look after me and that’s what they’re doing in the picture. It means a lot.’


Outplayed: Did little Harper spur her father on?


Man of the match: Beckham gave his all tonight


Celebrating: Gordon punches the air as Romeo and Brooklyn look delighted with their father's performance


David also posted a video on Facebook explaining why he had the tattoo and what it represented.

That tattoo was the handy work of one of LA’s biggest tattoo artists, Mark Mahoney, who has worked on a long list of famous names who include Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie and it's likely that the Harper inking was courtesy of his hand too.

I don't like your friends: Selena Gomez 'dumps' Justin Bieber over new pals

By J J ANISIOBI

You'll leave me suicidal: Singers Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez, who have allegedly split up, at the 2011 ESPY Awards in Los Angeles last month

Young sweethearts Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez have reportedly broken up after the Disney star told Justin she didn't approve of his new hip-hop music friends.

The Wizards Of Waverley Place star, who has been dating the Baby singer since the start of the year, has allegedly dumped the 17-year-old teen sensation because she is worried about the influence his new friends are having on him.


Summer dreaming: Justin Bieber on vacation in Hawaii with Selena in earlier this year


In recent weeks, Justin has been spending more time publicly with Sean Kingston, rapper Lil Wayne, and singer Chris Brown who has a new song with the Canadian teenager.

Chris Brown became a figure of notoriety after he attacked his ex-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009 which resulted with the Only Girl In The World singer having to go to hospital and Brown being charged with assault and making criminal threats.


Shown the back door: Justin and Sean Kingston in a blue t-shirt, leave the Selena Gomez concert last weekend


Lil Wayne meanwhile served eight months of a one year prison sentence in 2010 after pleading guilty to possession of a weapon.

Justin has been friends with Jamaican singer Sean Kingston since they recorded the song Eenie Meenie together in April 2010 and last weekend when Justin and Sean were driving around South Beach in a Rolls Royce convertible, they were pulled over by a police officer who thought it was suspicious that two youngsters should be driving such an expensive car.


Bad boys: Chris Brown and Lil Wayne are allegedly part of the reason Selena has dumped Justin


Although the two boys didn't break any law and were allowed to continue driving, it is thought that Selena didn't like the attention that the incident drew to Justin.

The final straw allegedly came when Justin took Sean to watch Selena perform that same weekend in Florida.

A friend of Selena told the Sun newspaper: 'Selena told him to stop hanging with these bad people. She didn't want him to crash her gig.

Shooting the breeze: Gordon Ramsay and David Beckham have seaside chat as their children hit the waves in windy Malibu

By Jody Thompson


All at sea: David Beckham and Gordon Ramsay sit on sand bags as they watch their children kids play in the Malibu surf yesterday


They might have multi-millions between them, but fathers Gordon Ramsay and David Beckham showed today that they still enjoy the simple pleasures in life.

The Michelin-starred chef and the footballing legend took time out from their hectic schedules yesterday to take their children down to the beach where they enjoyed a good chinwag while their charges played.

The Beckhams have rented a beachfront mansion for the summer holidays and are making the most of living on the usually sunny shores of the Pacific ocean, even if it was a bit overcast and breezy yesterday.


While David, 36, sat with Gordon, his three sons – Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, eight, and six-year-old Cruz – hit the surf.

Victoria, 37, meanwhile appeared to be staying in the shade with four-week-old daughter Harper Seven.

Gordon meanwhile appeared to have taken along daughters Megan, 12, and Matilda, 10, as well as twins Jack and Holly, 11.

I see no ships: The two proud fathers kept a close eye on their charges in between having a good chinwag on the seashore


The Beckham's seven-bedroom rented house – which is owned by Steven Spielberg – is worth £25million and is said to cost £93,000 a month to stay there.

All the more reason for the Beckhams to invite their friends over and of course, the Ramsays are incredibly close to the family.

David and Gordon certainly have a lot to talk about right now.

All at sea: The Beckham and Ramsay children were having fun hitting the Californian surf on what was a rather breezy and overcast day


David may have been asking Gordon advice about baby Harper Seven, his first daughter - and Gordon, 44, has a lot on his mind right now too.

It was revealed on Friday that he had declared war on his wife Tana’s family by suing her father, mother, sister, brother, brother’s wife — and even her father’s alleged mistress.

All six were named in an explosive writ lodged at the High Court containing a blizzard of claims from the celebrity chef.

Ramsay wants millions in compensation from father-in-law Chris Hutcheson whom he sacked as chief executive of his restaurant empire — after a host of allegations against his one-time mentor.

Suited and booted: Gordon had scrubbed up to take wife Tana to the Fox All-Star Party in Pacific Palisades, California, on Friday night


They include allegations that Hutcheson hacked into Ramsay’s personal and company files and that he had wrongly withdrawn £1.42 million from the company to fund a double life with a secret second ‘wife’ and family.

Gordon also claims Hutcheson paid his mistress £5,000 a month for doing nothing and put his real wife and son on the company payroll too, and wrote five-figure cheques to himself.

Despite his troubles, Gordon is still thought to be on course to open the latest in his chain of restaurants.

Surf's up: The Michelin-starred chef had joined David and his sons for some boogie boarding last week


Bread Street Kitchen, the newest restaurant at One New Change, London, is set to open next month.

Gordon had also visited his close friend David at his Malibu house last week and the fathers had joined in with the surfing fun that time.

Looks like Emma has finally found a man who isn’t terrified of her! Harry Potter actress besotted by movie co-star

By Caroline Graham


She has complained that men find her intimidating.

But now it seems Emma Watson has bewitched her latest co-star after they were spotted embracing in Los Angeles.

Emma, 21, looked ‘besotted’ as she tenderly kissed Johnny Simmons, 24, who stars with her in the upcoming £30 million drama The Perks Of Being A Wallflower.

Spellbound: Emma Watson and co-star Johnny Simmons sharing a tender kiss in Los Angeles


The couple have been spotted together before, but previously it was denied they were in a relationship.

Yet there could be no doubt that they are deeply involved as the Harry Potter star, in a multi-coloured maxi skirt, white sweater and sandals, and Johnny were locked together in a lingering clinch outside a restaurant in Santa Monica.

Emma has fought hard to shake off her prim schoolgirl image after playing Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films.

And her new American boyfriend should suit her purposes well – he has a slightly risque past and even had the odd run-in with the police. His film career includes playing a drug addict and sexually explicit scenes.

An onlooker told The Mail on Sunday: ‘They were all over each other, kissing and hugging. It was very sweet to see. She looked utterly besotted. A girl recognised her and approached her.

Embrace: The couple show their true feeling for each other after being spotted on the street in Los Angeles

The couple, who are starring together in the film The Perks Of Being A Wallflower, share a hug and gaze lovingly into each others' eyes


Emma was polite and acknowledged her, but she just wanted to be with Johnny and was clearly under his spell. They’re obviously head-over-heels in love.’

Johnny has spent the night with Emma at the upmarket house in Santa Monica where she has been staying with friends.

A source said: ‘The moment Johnny turned up Emma was all over him. He stayed overnight at least one night this week. It is clearly a serious relationship.

They might have denied it before but they don’t seem to be trying to hide it now.’
Another friend said: ‘Emma loves how down-to-earth and normal Johnny is. He’s very charming and sweet.’

Emma and Johnny were seen together in a park in June, but at the time her publicist strongly denied they were an item.

That month at the MTV Movie Awards afterparty Johnny was spotted pinching Emma’s bottom. It was only recently Emma lamented how hard it is to find a boyfriend.


Emma with her Harry Potter co-stars Rupert Grint and Daniel Radcliffe at the New York premiere of 'Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 2 last month


She said: ‘I say to my friends, “Why hasn’t x called me?” They’re like, “Probably because they are intimidated.” It must be the fame wall.

I find it hard to believe anyone would find me intimidating.’

Johnny – Alabama-born and brought up in Texas – has a past in the tradition of Southern ‘good ol’ boys’.

He was arrested aged 19 in May 2006 for going at 80mph in a 65mph zone. Two days later he was arrested again for being in possession of alcohol below the legal age of 21 and was fined £350.

The 2009 film Jennifer’s Body featured him and Amanda Seyfried in a sex scene which he told his parents not to watch because he was so embarrassed.

He was lauded by critics for playing a drug addict in The Greatest, also starring Pierce Brosnan.

Emma and Johnny met on the set of The Perks Of Being A Wallflower in May.

Due for release next year, the movie is adapted from a controversial novel that couldn’t be further removed from Harry Potter, featuring drugs, sex and suicide.

Emma, who earned an estimated £19 million last year thanks to the final two Harry Potter movies and deals with Lancome and Burberry, recently announced she will attend Oxford University this autumn in an exchange year from her studies at Brown University in the US.

Her former loves include financier Jay Barrymore, eight years her senior, and musician and fellow Burberry model George Craig.

Spokesmen for Johnny and Emma did not return calls or comment last night.

Daybreak duo put on four-day week (but their pay remains the same)

By Sara Nathan


Ratings flops: Daybreak hosts Christine Bleakley and Adrian Chiles


It cost ITV £10million to bring their celebrated ‘chemistry’ to its breakfast show sofa.

But just 11 months after launching Daybreak, Christine Bleakley and Adrian Chiles are being bumped down to four days a week – as ratings continue to plummet.

Chiles, who viewers are said to have found ‘grumpy’, and his co-star will now work just Monday to Thursday, although their generous pay packets are expected to remain in place.


Miss Bleakley, 32, joined ITV on a £4million, two-year deal, in June last year, shortly after her former BBC One Show co-host Chiles, 44, had signed a £6million, four-year contract.

The pair launched Daybreak amid great fanfare, but the show has not fared well with either viewers or critics.

Popular Kate Garraway – the sole presenter left from its predecessor GMTV – will step into Miss Bleakley’s place on the sofa on Fridays, while Dan Lobb will replace Chiles.

The move will take place in September after the Rugby World Cup in New Zealand, during which the show will be replaced by some early morning matches.


Last night an ITV source told the Daily Mail: ‘This is symptomatic of just how difficult things are on Daybreak at the moment.

We need to recapture the warmth of GMTV and viewers adore Kate, especially when she is teamed with Dan.

They haven’t taken to Adrian so well and they are only just starting to warm to Christine.’

ITV chiefs are desperate to revamp the show after ratings slumped to just below 700,000 viewers, less than half BBC Breakfast’s average of 1.5million.

As the Mail revealed in April, ITV found through polling that viewers were fed up with ‘grumpy’ Chiles and thought Miss Bleakley – engaged to Chelsea footballer Frank Lampard – was a ‘giggling airhead’.

Editor Ian Rumsey was axed last month, and even ITV chief executive Adam Crozier has admitted: ‘Daybreak has not performed as we would have hoped.’

ITV said last night the move to a four-day week was ‘always planned’ as part of the presenters’ contracts.

You'll send them ape! Tom Felton enjoys coffee and cigarette break with Jade Olivia sat next to a no smoking sign

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Coffee and catch up: Tom Felton was seen enjoying a break with his girlfriend Jade Olivia before he sparked up a cigarette

He has been working hard promoting his new film Planet of the Apes, so it seems Tom Felton relished the opportunity to grab a quick coffee and cigarette with his girlfriend.

But in his haste to relax the actor unwittingly sparked up right next to a no smoking sign.
Tom,23, took time out from filming a segment on a US TV show to spend time with his beautiful girlfriend Jade Olivia.


Coffee and fag break: The actor also enjoyed a cigarette while outside and looked around before lighting it


The pair were seen chatting together and drinking coffee in the sunshine before the actor lit a cigarette.

He then leant back against a wall, which clearly displayed a sign prohibiting the habit, before handing the cigarette over to his girlfriend.

The British Harry Potter star was sporting a healthy tan, in contrast to his pale skin of previous years which he had to keep for his character of Draco Malfoy.


Rule breaker: The actor brazenly leant against a wall which clearly displayed a no smoking sign as he enjoyed his cigarette


Earlier today Felton’s Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes co-stars James Franco, Andy Serkis, and Freida Pinto appeared on The View chat show to talk about the new film.

Franco, who split from his girlfriend-of-five years Ahna O’Reilly last month explained how he had to work intimately with a fake chimp for his role as a scientist.


Care to share: Tom gave his cigarette to his girlfriend who also decided to break the no smoking rule


Making the most of the time off: Tom, who showed off a healthy tan made the most of the time off from promoting his new film


King Kong actor Andy Serkis, 47, described how he enjoys playing animals and mythical creatures with high-tech 'performance capture' equipment.

He told The View hosts: ‘Put simply I wear a suit with lots of cameras and dots on it," he said. "So the acting is translated into the digital character that you see.’


More promotion: As Rise Of Planet of The Apes opens in the U.S. Andy Serkis, James France and Freida Pinto appeared on The View earlier today


Pinto, 26 admitted that after Slumdog Millionaire she was ‘living in fear’ that she would never get another film role and that if her acting career didn't work out she was set to become a wedding planner.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes is released in the US today and in the UK on August 12.

Back up plan: Freida admitted she was living in fear after the success of Slumdog and said that if acting didn't work out she would become a wedding planner

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Sticking together: (from left) Paris, Blanket, Prince and Prince's girlfriend Niki on a fun day out together at Six Flags Magic Mountain

The Jackson children enjoyed a day of roller coasters and games on a day trip to Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California.

The three children Prince, Paris and Blanket were seen having a blast on the rides and walking around the park together.


Whoosh! The kids hold on tight as they start to drop


They spent the day with their cousins Jaafar, Jermagesty and a few friends.

Prince even brought along his girlfriend Niki Berger. They looked a happy pair, holding hands and walking between the rides together.

The group were dressed in shorts and t-shirts for a day outside in heat of a California summer.


Hold on tight: The thrill seekers get ready for a 20-storey free fall


Six Flags Magic Mountain is home to the most roller coasters on the planet, so there were plenty of rides for the youngsters to choose from.

The thrill seekers were spotted grinning on the Déjà Vu ride, where passengers plummet a 20-storey free fall at 65 miles per hour and dangle face down as they climb a 90-degree tower.

Since their father the King of Pop died of 25 June 2009 aged 50, their family has been working to make their lives as normal as possible.

Bride has something old sorted as she weds in 127-year-old dress worn by her great-great-grandmother

By Daily Mail Reporter


Something old, something borrowed: Allison Shellito wore her great-great grandmother's dress for her wedding day - and it was still in almost perfect condition 127 years after it was first worn


On Allison Rinaldi’s wedding day she didn’t have to think twice about what her 'something old’ would be.

For even before her husband popped the question she knew when she said I do she would be wearing a wedding dress that had been in her family for 127 years.

Bought in 1884 for her great-great-grandmother’s wedding day, it has since been worn by her grandmother, aunt and mother too.

'I always knew I wanted to wear the dress,' 23-year-old Alison said.

'I even tried it on when I was a little girl.


'Not only did I think it was beautiful but I loved the sense of history which came along with it too and I am such a family kind of girl it meant a lot for me to carry on the tradition.

'My mum and grandma would always talk about what an amazing wedding days they had had while wearing it, so I thought it would bring me luck if I did too.

'And I was right as our wedding day was perfect and wearing the dress made it even more special.'

It was on June 11th this year when graphic designer Allison married graduate student Chris Rinaldi in St Louis, wearing the same dress as three generations of her women in her family had worn before her.

And there to prepare her as she squeezed into her historic dress was mum Mimi, 55, who had worn the very same dress 29 years before on the 5th June 1982.

Keep it in the family: Jean and John Shellito, who married in 1941 with Jean wearing the wedding dress that belonged to John's grandmother, Nellie, who wore the dress in 1884 for her own wedding


'It was so emotional helping Allison get into the dress, but utterly wonderful too as it made me recall my own special day,' says Mimi.

'Like me Allison was getting married on the university campus where she had met her husband, which is exactly what I did when I married her dad Jack.

'And I can safely say Allison’s day was just as wonderful as mine was.

'She had a few more guests than I did, but both weddings were full of joy and laughter.

'Allison looked amazing in that dress and it will be a day we all remember for a very long time.

'I just hope the dress brings Allison as much joy, love and happiness as it gave every other woman who wore it before us, as each of us went on to have long and happy marriages.'

The dress, of tone-on-tone ecru silk brocade patterned with flowers, was made in 1884.

Allison's paternal great-great-grandmother, Nellie Campbell, first wore it when she married A.G. Shellito in 1884 in Iowa.

Memories: Allison's mother Mimii also wore the dress on her wedding day in 1982 when she married Jack. 'It looked as stunning on Allison as it had so many years before when I wore it,' she said


But unlike Allison and Mimi, Nellie’s wedding was much smaller and held in the family home in Iowa.

Allison said: 'It always surprised me to find out Nellie had chosen such a grand dress for a wedding at her home.

'We don’t know much about the day apart from that it was on December 30th 1884 and no more than around 12 people attended.

'But she really must have felt like a princess to have worn such a dress in her own front room.'

The dress then skipped a generation, until Jean Lawman married Nellie's grandson, John Shellito in Iowa on December 26th 1941.

Jean was too frail to attend grand-daughter Allison’s wedding this year and sadly passed away two weeks after the ceremony, but Allison tells of Jean’s joy when she found out she was also going to wear the dress.

'Grandma had a long life and passed away in her sleep when she was 91, just days after my wedding, ' she said.

'And I know she wished she could have been strong enough to make it to the wedding as she was so excited to see the dress again.

Happy times: Allison's aunt Barbara wore the dress on her wedding day too. 'She loved seeing the dress in all its glory again, said Allison


'Chris and I made sure we told her all about it though before she passed and she was over the moon to hear how it had also made me as happy as it had made her on grandma’s big day.

'I asked her how she had come to wear it she told me before she died: 'It was beautiful, it was offered and it fit!

'She actually tried it on the night Pearl Harbour struck and then my granddad had to enlist, so they were married a few weeks later.

'Like me they also got married in a church and then after had a small reception at a hotel. '

Next to wear the dress was Allison’s mum Mimi Balazs Shellito when she got married in 1982 to Jack, now 58.

Mimi said: 'I loved the way the dress caught the light, it was just made of the most exquisite material I had ever seen.

'And that’s why it lasted and I am glad to say it looked just as stunning on Allison as it had so many years before when I had worn it.

'The dress just glowed and so did my daughter.'

Barbara Shellito of Boston also wore it, when she wed Jean's son Paul on July 12th 1975 in Wichita, Kansas.

Allison said: 'My Aunt Barbara was there on my wedding day and I know like my mum, it brought back so many happy memories of her wedding day when she married Uncle Paul.

'She loved seeing the dress in all its glory again.'

Considering its age the dress is in pristine condition thanks to it being lovingly stored in linen sheets for the past 127 years.

So much so Allison tells how she made barely any alterations to the dress on her big day.

The only thing she had to do was go on a diet so she could fit in it.

he said: 'The dress is just stunning and I would have loved it even if my mum and all my other relatives had not worn it.

'To me its vintage look is so modern and it just has this sheen which glows.

'And it is so different from all the usual strapless gowns girls today always seem to wear.

'My mum had some patching done to it before her wedding, but apart from that it was in perfect shape, it was just so well made and so carefully looked after.

'The only issue that at my age my mum was smaller than me so I knew it was going to be a tight fit to get in it.

'But before my wedding I dieted like mad and thankfully it fit me like a glove.

'The only thing I did differently was that I wore a bustle under mine.'

Allison could not have been happier with the results and neither could her doting new husband.

'Chris was a bit jealous that everyone had seen the dress before him, but he understood how important it was to me, ' tells Allison.

'And when I saw the look on his face as I walked down the aisle I knew I had made the right decision.

'He loved it and thought it was beautiful.

'He was so nervous though it took him a little while to register what I was even wearing, but once he did he absolutely loved it.

‘It was a magical day.'

Allison hopes if she has a little girl the tradition will continue and to ensure the dress continues to stay in immaculate condition she changed into a different dress for her reception.

'I would love nothing more than if I have a daughter she will want to wear the dress, ' said Allison.

'It's just got such sentimental value now for all of us.

'With that in mind I wanted to make sure I did not spill anything on it or tear it at the reception.

'And so I changed into a short 1960s cocktail dress.

'Amazingly after all these years nobody had split or torn the dress and I certainly did not want to be the first.

'Thankfully I managed to not get a single mark on it and now it is back wrapped in the linen cloth and in storage, safely put away until the next girl in our family hopefully wants to wear it.'

Ashton Kutcher will play 'Internet billionaire with a broken heart' on new series of Two and a Half Men

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Anticipation: It was announced today that Ashton Kutcher will be playing a billionaire with a broken heart on the forthcoming series

Speculation has been mounting about Ashton Kutcher's character in Two and a Half Men, ever since he was announced as Charlie Sheen's replacement earlier this year.

It was finally revealed today that the 33-year-old actor will play Walden Schmidt, an 'Internet billionaire with a broken heart,' on the new season of the hit show, which airs on U.S. network CBS this September.


Comedy king: New details have been released about Ashton Kutcher's Role in Two and a Half Men


But Entertainment President Nina Tassler would not 'confirm or deny' reports that Sheen's character Charlie Harper would be killed off.

She also refused to reveal any more details of how the series would continue without Sheen, commenting that keeping 'the mystery is part of the marketing.


All change: Kutcher will play heartbroken rich man Waldon Schmidt on the show, alongside cast members Jon Cryer and Angus T Jones


The script for the episode, according to Tassler, is as 'smart and funny and irreverent and risqué as the show has always been.'

And Kutcher seems to have already made a good impression.

'There is great value in hiring an actor like Ashton Kutcher,' she said. 'He is extraordinarily professional, talented, funny, and gifted.
