Kate Winslet: Ned is The One

KATE Winslet has told friends her new man Ned Rocknroll is "The One"

The star, 35, is "madly in love" with Richard Branson's nephew and wants to set up home with him, a pal revealed.

The pair spent the weekend at Ned's aunt's house in Chichester, West Sussex.

A source said: "They have really fallen for each other. They are even mentioning marriage."

Married Ned, 33 — born Abel Smith — has rejected a US job offer to be near twice-wed Kate after they got close on Branson's holiday isle Necker in August.

He is separated from his wife Eliza.

Megan Fox's hair-raising Christmas ads

MEGAN Fox gives fans an early Christmas present with these classy festive ads for Armani.

The actress underwent a glamorous style overhaul for the promos, rocking a couple of finely-crafted hairdos and sexy black frocks. 

It's a far cry from the jeans and crop top-clad babe who dashed about the place in the first two Transformers films. 

Megan was famously fired from the franchise after comparing director Michael Bay to Adolf Hitler. 

Talking candidly about his approach to movie-making, she said in an interview: "He's like Napoleon and he wants to create this insane, infamous mad-man reputation. 

"He wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is. So he's a nightmare to work for but when you get him away from set, and he's not in director mode, I kind of really enjoy his personality because he's so awkward, so hopelessly awkward. 

"He has no social skills at all. And it's endearing to watch him." 

Despite her sacking, Megan – who was replaced by British model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in the movies – is desperate to watch Transformers 3. 

She said: "I haven't seen it yet but I want to. 

"It's not like I didn't want to see it because I did. The trailer looked awesome but I didn't want to go to a crowded theatre and watch it because of how that may have looked. 

"I have no problem with Transformers or Shia (LaBeouf). He's a great guy and I still count him as a friend."

Now risque Rihanna exposes her bottom half in revealing photoshoot

As a superstar you can expect the rough with the smooth. And having been chased from a muddy field by an angry farmer for posing topless on his land, Rihanna was certainly due some luck.

Today the risque R&B singer finds herself on the cover of style bible Vogue.

In the front picture she presents  an almost sophisticated look with a  Monroesque pout and blonde hair.

Inside, however, she’s back to her old tricks – posing more provocatively and  revealing every inch of her legs against some rusty girders. She also sports a natty beret.

Rihanna has courted controversy with a series of edgy videos – including being tied up and taped to the wall with clingfilm in the video to her hit ‘S&M’.

But in a Vogue interview, the singer insists: ‘That’s not me. That’s a part I play. You know, like it’s a piece of art… I just want to make music.’ The singer, born Robyn Rihanna Fenty, said that life with her parents, Monica Braithwaite and Ronald Fenty, a former crack addict, triggered her rebellious attitude.

‘I saw too much. I was way too mature for my age,’ she revealed.

Last week, the singer ended up being humiliated when farmer Alan Graham, 61, halted a racy video shoot on his land at Bangor, County Down.

He had agreed for one of his fields to be used but protested when he spotted her stripping down to a bikini made up of red handkerchiefs.

How passionate Pippa gave her chap a smacker at 4.30am after boxing match

They had just spent several hours watching well-bred young men beat each other senseless in the boxing ring.

 Even at 4.30am, however, Pippa Middleton and Alex Loudon were still in romantic mood.

The couple shared a lingering kiss yesterday as they waited for a cab outside a London hotel where they had attended the Boodles Boxing Ball charity event.

Pippa gazed tenderly into her boyfriend’s eyes before the lateness of the hour caught up with her and she failed to stifle a yawn.

The couple’s body language dispelled any remaining suspicions that they had drifted apart following 28-year-old Pippa’s show-stealing appearance at the royal wedding in April, when her pert derriere won world-wide admiration.

Mr Loudon, 31, a former cricketer who played for England in a one-day international against Sri Lanka in 2006, is now a financier. 

He and Pippa, younger sister of the Duchess of Cambridge, have been dating for more than three years.

For Saturday night’s event at the Park Plaza Hotel, she wore a striking red gown with plunging neckline and gold high heels with matching clutch purse. 

Also attending the ball, which cost £1,950 per table of ten, were Geri Halliwell, Prince Harry’s ex-girlfriend Chelsy Davy and his brother William’s old flames Jecca Craig, Olivia Hunt and Isabella Anstruther- Gough-Calthorpe.

There was no sign of the princes, but their cousin Princess Beatrice made an appearance in a floral gown.

Charlize Theron talks Kristen Stewart, taps into Rage

Charlize Theron is on a two-week break from her evil queen duties in "Snow White and the Huntsman," and is enjoying her time in glamorous, movie-star fashion -- playing video games.

"I'm a bit of a gamer," she told us at Friday night's launch party for the new game Rage, a first-person shooter from Bethesda Softworks. "Not too crazy, but I've been known to game."

Theron served as host for the launch, which staged a full takeover of Chinatown's historic Gin Ling Lane -- vendors, restaurants and booze joints all -- and featured a performance from the Black Keys.

Turning heads in a black tuxedo jacket and tiny cocktail dress, Theron paused to reflect on her current gig as Kristen Stewart's nemesis in the dark retelling of the fairy tale.

"I haven't gotten to work with [Kristen] yet ... it's mostly been me and my kingdom, alone, while everyone is out looking for her," she said. Production will resume in two weeks in London, where the pair will finally go head-to-head.

"We've had one day together, she did some off-camera for me and we got to hang out a little bit. She's super cool and she's going to be amazing in this," Theron said. 

The Oscar winner has been making some interesting choices of late, departing from leading lady fare and catsuit-sporting action leads. In addition to her villainous turn in "Snow White," she'll portray an alcoholic writer of teen books in Jason Reitman's "Young Adult."

Penned by Diablo Cody and set for a holiday release, there's talk that Charlize could be an awards contender come January. 

"More than anything, I wanted to work with Jason Reitman and I thought the material was really interesting. I try not to think about that stuff too much and just respond organically," she said.

Organically responding to the festivities on Gin Ling Lane was George Clooney's current girlfriend, Stacy Keibler, who arrived alone but found some pals to catch up with.

Newly single "True Blood" werewolf Joe Manganiello was on the prowl, hanging with a male pal and saying hello to "Captain America" star Chris Evans.

"Wonder Woman" star Lynda Carter made an appearance, as did Seth Green, John Krasinski and Alessandra Ambrosio. 

A Ministry shout-out to Topher Grace, who cut an impossibly long men's room line by obliging one of the gift shop vendors with a photo, getting him escorted into their private bathroom.

Now Middleton family website promotes ‘sculpt your own prince’ clay doll

With its Britannia-themed scratch cards and princess outfits, Carole and Mike Middleton’s online business Party Pieces has never fought shy of its Royal connections.

And now the website, for which the Duchess of Cambridge used to work, has selected its gift of the year - a clay doll that can be sculpted into a ‘Handsome Prince’.

The item, called Sculpt Your Own Boyfriend, promises to fulfil any single girl’s dream.

According to text on the website: ‘If you’re finding that landing your dream guy is proving too difficult, too time-consuming and seemingly doomed to failure, all you need to do is get hold of this kit and learn to design a whole variety of gorgeous guys from the Millionaire to the Movie Star to the Handsome Prince.’

The 15in toy comes with five different colours of modelling clay, special modelling tools and a guide that teaches you to design 25 ‘types’ of boyfriend.

A picture of the same product on a different website shows the doll on bended knee with an engagement ring in a box. 

However, this picture was omitted from the product description on the Party Pieces website. 

Mysteriously, the original blurb on the website accompanying the photograph of the doll has recently been removed. Now there is only a paragraph of text, with no mention of a ‘handsome prince’.

It is not the first time that last-minute changes have been made to the website.

Last year an interview with Kate and her siblings was posted on the company’s web-magazine Party Times, which is edited by Kate’s sister Pippa.

Blink and you'll miss her: The X Factor bosses gloss over contestant Sian Phillips' axing over criminal past

Elizabeth Hurley and Shane Warne pictured moments before his surprise proposal

Former Australian cricketer splashed out £30,000 on diamond ring

She was sporting a stunning sapphire and diamond ring on her wedding finger today, but Elizabeth Hurley and Shane Warne chose not to comment on the reports he had popped the question when they appeared together at the Dunhill tournament today.

Now, the couple have confirmed their engagement by thanking fans for their well wishes over their Twitter accounts.

'Thanks for all your congratulations,' Hurley tweeted, adding a picture of the couple which she said was taken just before the dinner last night at St Andrews where Warne, 42, proposed.

The Estée Lauder model presumably had no idea that her boyfriend of ten months was about to ask her to marry him as they posed happily for a picture inside the exclusive Old Course Hotel.

Miss Hurley was wearing a strapless nude bandage dress and heavy smokey eye-make-up while the Australian cricketer wore a sharp suit and purple tie.

REMIND YOU OF ANYTHING? WARNE'S ROYAL INSPIRATION

Liz Hurley's impressive sapphire engagement ring (right) bears more than a passing resemblance to the one Prince Charles gave to Princess Diana in 1981, pictured left.

That 12-carat oval sapphire, surrounded by a cluster of 14 diamonds, cost £28,500 from Garrard of Mayfair at the time. 

It was, of course, presented to Kate Middleton by Prince William on their engagement in November last year. Jewellers have reported a rush for similar-looking rings ever since.

But sapphire has long been a popular choice for engagement rings as it has come to symbolise love, truth and commitment.

In the 12th Century, crusaders would present their wives with sapphire rings to test their fidelity, believing the vivid colour would fade if a woman was unfaithful.

Well wishes: Both Elizabeth and Shane tweeted their thanks to fans for their congratulations
