Is that meant to be the YMCA? Paris Hilton shows off her moves on the dancefloor

Paris Hilton showed off her dance moves last night, throwing her arms in the air as she partied in Las Vegas.

At one point, it appeared the blonde socialite was attempting the moves to the ultimate 80s track - YMCA by the Village People.

But if that was her intention she was missing the Y, so perhaps Paris was just showing off her toned arms to her fellow party goers.

Paris has just returned to the US after spending time in Britain filming her new TV show My New Best Female Friend.

Last night, she was joined by boyfriend Benji Madden for the nightclub party.

But while Paris hit the dancefloor and was quickly surrounded by fans clicking photos, her guitarist boyfriend stayed at the bar, where he watched the crush from a safe distance.

Evergreen Liz Hurley shows off her stunning figure on yet another bikini shoot (the ones she claims to hate)

For someone who claims to hate doing bikini shoots, Elizabeth Hurley looks pretty comfortable showing off her enviable figure.

Despite being a 43-year-old mother-of-one, Hurley looks more like a youthful twentysomething as she reclines on an Indian beach in a new sizzling photo shoot.

In an interview for this week's issue of Hello! magazine, Hurley reveals her stunning curves in a series of bikinis from her Elizabeth Hurley Beach collection.

The Austin Powers actress has often spoke of her disdain for bikini shoots, saying she has to put in months of hard work getting her body ready before going in front of the camera.

She said: 'Frankly, I've always disliked being photographed in a bikini.

'I remember being offered an American Vogue cover and then being horrified because it was the bikini issue.

'It actually turned out great, but I was gibbering with fear. I need to do a great deal of exercise and eat a lot less to feel comfortable on the beach now.

While few would deny she's in amazing shape, Hurley admits she doesn't mind a bit of digital-enhancement.

She said earlier this year: 'I like a certain amount of retouching, like anybody.

'We all like to get rid of spots and shadows under our eyes. I’ve always been quite particular - I don’t like my face to be retouched.'

In the Hello! interview, Hurley also responded to criticism of the tight-fitting pink bandeau dress she wore at an Estee Lauder breast cancer event at the Tower of London last month.

Despite her husband Arun Nayar and six-year-old son proclaiming their approval for the dress, some critics believed it was inappropriate for Hurley's cleavage to be so prominent during a breast cancer event.

She said: 'Well Damian and Arun liked it. It was actually a beautiful dress but I agree it looked insanely right.

'It didn't look quite so odd at home; something must have happened in the car on the way there.'

Diva Mariah Carey arrives with 20 suitcases ahead of X Factor performance... well, she is staying three nights

Mariah Carey lived up to her diva reputation as she arrived in London for a three-night stay today... accompanied by 20 suitcases.

The singer and her husband Nick Cannon needed two huge trolleys to carry their bags. Porters pushing them through Heathrow airport seemed bemused by their haul.

When the newlyweds arrived at the Dorchester they were met by a crush of Mariah's fans, who held up banners saying 'Congrats MC and Nick'.

Mariah, who is 11 years older than her 27-year-old actor husband, dressed for comfort in grey leggings and open toe boots.

The 38-year-old kept warm with a long black cardigan, while Cannon dressed smartly in a pinstripe suit.

This week on the X Factor all the contestants will be performing a Mariah ballad - with the soul singer on hand to instruct them.

There are are plenty to choose from - with a career spanning 18 years, Mariah was named the best selling female artist of millennium in 2000 and has had more US number one hits than any other female in history.

The hopefuls have already covered one of Mariah's songs, Hero, currently at Number One in the British charts.

The track is raising funds for the Help For Heroes campaign and looks set to be one of the biggest selling British records of all time.

On Saturday night Mariah will join the remaining finalists on stage in a special performance of the track, as well as performing her latest single I Stay In Love.

Her X Factor debut comes after Simon Cowell personally stepped in to request her.
Mariah has also been tipped as a possibility to replace X Factor judge Dannii Minogue at the end of the series, when the singer is widely tipped to leave the show.

Following her X Factor performance Mariah and her husband will be flying to Monaco for the World Music Awards.

The couple, who originally met at the Kids' Choice Awards in 2005, married at her private estate in the Bahamas in April after a whirlwind six week romance.

They fell for each other when Cannon flew to Antigua at the end of March to play Mariah's love interest in the video for her single Bye Bye.

Has ex-Blue Peter presenter Zoe Salmon used sticky-back plastic to protect her modesty?

Former Blue Peter Presenter Zoe Salmon appeared to be putting the skills she learned on the show to good use yesterday.

The former Miss Northern Ireland somehow managed to hold up her revealing red dress at a party to celebrate the release of a special Coronation Street DVD.

Could she have borrowed some sticky-back plastic from the art and craft box?

The gorgeous blonde sent pulses racing in the dress - which was slit down to her stomach.

Salmon, 28, became the 30th Blue Peter presenter when she joined in 2004. She quit the BBC1 show earlier this year.She recently told her how her appearance in the show had won her many young admirers.

'The thing is they are all in school uniform and about 12 and proclaiming their love.

'It’s nice and sweet and I try to let them down gently but it’s not easy. Some even cry,' she told the Daily Star.

Salmon isn't the first Blue Peter star to shed the prim and proper image usually adopted by presenters on the popular children's show.

Konnie Huq tunned heads in a stunning satin gown with a plunging neckline at the Spiderman movie premiere last year.

The show which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, has been slowly losing popularity with figures for the last series falling below 500,000.

Editor Richard Marsden resigned last year after a it emerged that a child had posed as a competition winner, leading the BBC to be fined £50,000 by the television industry regulators Ofcom.

The show was at the centre of a number of scandals last year when bosses changed the results of a vote to name the show's cat, asked a visitor to pretend to be a competition winner and admitted two competition winners were child actors.

Blake leaves jail and checks straight into rehab... but Amy is too busy throwing a tantrum to greet him

Amy Winehouse's husband Blake Fielder-Civil was released from Edmunds Hill Prison in Suffolk today.

The Back To Black singer was nowhere to be seen as the 26-year-old left jail for the first time in 12 months.

Instead, she opted to stay at home in London's Camden.

Winehouse, who left hospital on Monday after receiving ongoing treatment for a 'chest infection', looked far from jubilant as she emerged from the residence this afternoon with make-up smeared across her face.

She appeared to be in an agitated state, lunging at a photographer stationed outside her home.

It is not yet clear when the couple will be reunited.

Fielder-Civil was in better spirits, grinning from ear to ear as he walked out this morning wearing jeans, a striped red T-shirt and a trilby hat.

He was, however, showing signs of his time behind bars, sporting a chipped front tooth and red scratches down his arms.

But his freedom was short-lived - he is believed to have checked straight into a rehab facility as part of the terms of his release.

Fielder-Civil pleaded guilty to assaulting James King, 36, outside a pub and then plotting to bribe his victim in a £200,000 deal not to testify in court.


It's almost a year to the day since eight plain-clothed officers hand-cuffed Fielder-Civil at the couple's flat in Bow, East London, and led him off to cells as a hysterical Winehouse watched on.

Fielder-Civil's own mother has previously expressed concern about his return to Winehouse's world and his family are desperate for him to stay with them at their Lincolnshire home.

Georgette Civil said in July: 'Giving him and Amy another chance is like putting a gun to Blake's head while playing Russian roulette.'

'If he goes it could be a death sentence for the two of them.'
