Sisters who lunch: New mother Petra Ecclestone shows

She is yet to confirm reports that she has given birth to a little girl called Lavinia. But unconcerned about making an official announcement, Petra Ecclestone decided to take a break from her new role and treat herself to a leisurely lunch.  The heiress, who has instantly snapped back to her former shape, was joined by her newly engaged sister Tamara and her fiancé Jay Rutlland in Los Angeles.   Looking good: Petra Ecclestone, who is believed to have had a daughter, stepped out for lunch in LA on Thursday The 24-year-old mother showed off her figure in a tight grey dress, which she wore with a pair of denim platform trainers. She accessorised her look with a pink patterned scarf and a grey handbag, while her long blonde hair was worn loose and she covered her eyes with sunglasses. While Petra certainly looked bronzed, her tan just didn’t compare to her old sister’s Tamara, who has recently been sporting a rather extreme colour.    Sister time: Petra was joined

I get that I need to rest but this is so not me,

For most women, starting maternity leave would be a breath of fresh air away from those pesky work commitments. But for Rochelle Humes, one-fifth of UK hit band The Saturdays, all the relaxing is proving slightly stressful. As the 24-year-old took some time out at a hair salon, getting her luscious locks styled to perfection she opened up on Twitter about her down time.   Pampering: Rochelle uses up her time on maternity leave with a quick pampering session 'I get that I need to rest but this is so not me. I hate doing nothing. Gonna be a long few weeks #maternity leave Miss my Sats,' the What About Us singer wrote. And perhaps for Rochelle her maternity leave is slightly bitter sweet as it comes just as The Saturdays scooped their first number 1 singer. Rochelle spent around two and a half hours having her hair styled at the Inanch Salon as her girls flew to Dublin.   Missing her Sats: Rochelle took to Twitter and admitting doing nothing could be stressf

Teen Mom's Jenelle Evans 'snorts crushed up narcotic painkiller'

She has made repeated visits to rehab to beat her drug abuse problems. And now shocking footage has emerged of a woman, believed to be Teen Mom personality Janelle Evans, snorting a crushed up painkiller. The 21-year-old recovering heroin addict is spotted bending over a counter and inhaling a white substance said to be a crushed up Percocet tablet in the video, which was shot in summer last year.   Candid camera: Jenelle Evans has allegedly been caught snorting what is said to be crushed up Percocet in a shocking new video A combination of oxycodone and paracetamol, it is a narcotic pain reliever used to treat moderate to severe acute pain.

She claims she is no longer using drugs after spells in rehab 'The pills are Percocet, and she did not have a prescription for them. 'She could be really violent when she didn’t g

They may be minus Rochelle Humes but The Saturdays are still steaming through their performance schedule. Frankie Sandford, Mollie King, Una Healy, Vanessa White arrived in Dublin on Thursday afternoon - ready for their performance at The Bord Gáis Energy Theatre. Dragging their suitcases behind them the girls showed they certainly don't pack light with Frankie scooping the prize for the biggest pull along.   What About Us: The Saturdays show they are no divas by pulling along their own luggage as they leave Dublin airport Despite only staying one evening in the Irish capital those fashion conscious girls looked like they had packed enough clothes to last a week.

FIRST LOOK at The Voice auditions: Sparks fly

Sparks fly between coaches Jessie J and Will.i.am as they squabble over contestants as The Voice returns this weekend. During the first edition of the show, the pair are embroiled in a heated exchange after Jessie takes exception to the Black Eyed Peas star chipping in while she is trying to entice a hopeful to her team. The programme returns on Saturday night for the first round of auditions in which the coaches choose the wannabes they would like on their team.      Hopefuls:  Matt Henry and Leanne Jarvis sing their hearts out on the blind audition of The Voice - set to air on Saturday evening But Jessie accuses Will of siding with fellow judge Danny O'Donoghue and claims that he is continually trying to stop the contestants from choosing her. In the show the coaches often have to go head-to-head to persuade the best entrants they should join their roster. At one stage, Jessie grumbles: 'He never wants people to pick me.' The dispute led to fel

More than a Material Girl! Madonna joins the billionaires'

Her latest tour generated plenty  of controversy – and, it seems, plenty  of cash. Madonna has become the world’s  first billionaire female pop star  after the most successful year of her three-decade career. The 54-year-old has earned more than $300million (£200million) in the past 12 months, pushing her net worth above the $1billion (£650million) mark.   Material Girl: Madonna is now believed to be a billionaire thanks to her highly successful world tour and savvy business ventures A string of concerts that saw her baring her bottom, flashing her breasts and posing with pistols attracted more than 2million fans and grossed $305million (£200million), making it the most successful tour by any artist in 2012.   Added to profits from business ventures, merchandise sales, property and endorsements, plus $700million already in the bank, it has elevated the Material Girl singer into the billionaires’ club. Others in the same wealth bracket include chat show host Opr

The Winslow Boy: What a fine defence of justice and the Press!

Terence Rattigan’s The Winslow Boy may be set in the London of 100 years ago but it keeps throwing topical pebbles at you. A young boy is expelled from naval school after being accused of pinching five shillings. The case ends up in the House of Commons and the High Court. Do we not think of the Chris Huhne case? A piffling offence can snowball into a political scandal. The Press piles in, supporting little Ronnie Winslow (Charlie Rowe) against the unyielding naval and political Establishment.   Timely performance: Naomi Frederick and Henry Goodman as Catherine and Arthur Winslow at the Old Vic A reporter visits the Winslow family house and is more interested in the human angles — and the design of their curtains — than the dry legalities. The Winslows’ telephone keeps being rung by newshounds. I may be going completely mad about this current Press standards row we have in the London of 2013, but are there not echoes of it here in Rattigan? A politician lawyer, Si
