Victoria Beckham's got an unlikely style icon

Her husband might be considered one of the world's most stylish men, but Victoria Beckham has apparently found inspiration for her new menswear collection in an unlikely celeb.

According to reports, Victoria's a huge fan of Russell Brand's flamboyant and slightly disheveled look. 

"She loves his unique fashion sense and she's letting his style influence her designs", a source close to the award-winning eponymous designer told Now magazine.

Katy Perry's soon-to-be-ex-husband is renowned for his backcombed mane and skinny black jeans. Not exactly the classic, elegant styling Victoria is known for.

Will we see husband David modeling her new threads? After that H&M ad, let's hope so...

Nicole Scherzinger and Lewis Hamilton back on?

Looks like Nicole Scherzinger and ex-boyfriend, Lewis Hamilton may have rekindled their romance just in time for Valentine's Day.

The on-off couple split for good late last year. But, now they've apparently been spotted holding hands while heading to dinner in Hollywood.

According to the paparazzi, the pair were happy to pose for photographs together.

It's been a tough week for Nicole. She's reportedly "disappointed" after Simon Cowell axed her from the X Factor US judging panel amid poor ratings.

As they were smiling for the cameras, Lewis gave his view on Simon's decision. The Formula One driver apparently said: "It's not good without her, huh?"

Only time will tell...

Angelina Jolie wrote farewell letter to Brad Pitt in Afghanistan

Angelina Jolie has revealed that she wrote a farewell letter to Brad Pitt on a recent visit to Afghanistan.

As part of her work as a UN goodwill ambassador, Angelina has toured the war-torn country several times. But on one occasion she penned the letter to her actor partner in case anything happened to her.

"I've had moments recently when I went to Afghanistan, and I've got off a plane thinking this is fine. And then I got there and they said: 'The people are very angry with you. They are angry that you are a woman and you are American and you are with UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) and you are the target'", she told OK! magazine.

She added: "They gave me a briefing and they said everyone needs to write their blood type down...I wrote a note to Brad in the process and figured if anything happens he'll find it."

"I was fine, but then two weeks later they did attack the UN and they killed everyone in the bunker."

Madonna 'livid' over MIA Super Bowl middle-finger stunt

It's been the topic of pretty much every conversation we've had since the early hours of Monday morning. And now Madonna has apparently admitted that she is unimpressed by MIA's half-time Super Bowl stunt.

In case you've been living in a box, MIA showed her middle finger to the cameras during a performance of 'Gimme All Your Luvin'' with Madonna and Nicki Minaj.

NBC has already been forced to apologise for the incident.

According to The Sun, Madonna is also "livid' with the singer's swearing.

"Madonna wasn't impressed. She prides herself on professionalism. MIA did nothing similar in rehearsals", a show insider told the newspaper.

"Nobody knew she was going to pull this stunt. Madonna wanted to put on a world beating performance. But everyone ended up talking about this girl's middle finger."

Oo-er. We wouldn't want to upset the Queen of Pop. Just look what happened to Elton John...

Karl Lagerfeld labels Adele 'too fat' and Lana del Ray 'not bad'

Karl Lagerfeld has discussed his favourite female artists while guest editing a New York newspaper.

The head of legendary fashion house, Chanel told Metro New York that Adele was a "little too fat" although he "preferred her and Florence Welch" to new singer, Lana del Ray.

He said: "The thing at the moment is Adele. She is a little too fat, but she has a beautiful face and a divine voice.

"Lana del Ray is not bad at all. She looks very much like a modern-time singer. In her photos she is beautiful".

The outspoken designer then waded in to the debate about Lana's alleged lip fillers, adding: "Is she a construct with all her implants? She's not alone with implants".

Karl even gave his views on MIA's controversial Super Bowl performance in the issue, published today. She flipped her middle finger at the camera while performing with Madonna on Sunday night.

"Nowadays people give the middle finger quite quickly - it's not the best behaviour. Everybody does that, what's new about that? It's just become a bad habit.

"People in magazines are 50% bimbo and 50% pregnant women", he said.

New celeb couple alert! Lily Collins and Zac Efron dating?

Forget Taylor Lautner, actress Lily Collins is apparently dating a new Hollywood hottie: Zac Efron.

The pair were reportedly seen getting cosy at a steakhouse in LA on Saturday night. They then left through the restaurant's back exit to try and avoid the pap's who had gathered outside.

While Lily took the attention in her stride, Zac apparently looked rather shocked as they were whisked away in a waiting car.

"Zac literally ran to the car and jumped in", a pap told American website X17online.com. "But Lily kept her cool and took her time. She wasn't worried about not being seen by us."

Lily's the daughter of musician, Phil Collins. She's just landed the role of Snow White in a film adaptation of the classic fairytale.

Maybe she was just asking Zac for some acting tips?

Russell Brand 'texting Zooey Deschanel'

Russell Brand is reportedly trying to move on from soon-to-be-ex-wife, Katy Perry by sending flirty text messages to Zooey Deschanel.

The comedian has apparently had a thing for New Girl actress, Zooey for a little while. And now that they're both going through divorce, he allegedly wants to take her on a date.

An insider apparently told OK!: "Russell has had his eye on Zooey for a long time. And he's been sending funny, flirty texts to see if they can get together.

"He thinks she's hysterically funny and cute, too. He loves her quirky sense of humour, and thinks they'd be great together both on-and off-screen. There's a real spark there."

Zooey is apparently "very aware" though that she's pretty much the double of the singer. 

Katy hasn't been letting the rumours get her down. Last night she was snapped looking very sporty at the Super Bowl...

Palace source confirms Kate Middleton and Prince William's new four-legged addition

Hurrah! Prince William and Kate Middleton have indeed adopted a new four-legged friend.

A few weeks ago, we reported that Prince William had apparently bought wife, Kate Middleton a puppy for her thirtieth birthday. The pair were spotted walking a little black dog on the beach near their home in Anglesey. Now, a palace source has confirmed that the dog is their new pet.

The pup is thought to be a ten-week-old Cocker Spaniel, bred by Kate's mother, Carole Middleton.  The couple are apparently keen to keep the dog's name under wraps - reportedly telling palace aides that it is a "private" matter.

Search and Rescue pilot, William has now flown to the Falkland Islands on routine deployment for six weeks. It's thought Kate and the pup will spend time in London while he's away.

Did Cheryl Cole and MC Harvey have a secret relationship? He seems to think so...

After an absence from the headlines, Cheryl Cole seems to be everywhere today.

Not only has she been tweeting pictures of her new shoe collection - and looking very LA in a Wildfox sweatshirt - she's also been defending herself from yet more rumours about her love life. This time surrounding an unlikely beau: Alesha Dixon and Javine's ex, MC Harvey.

In an interview with Now magazine, the rapper said that the pair had a brief fling in 2010. They apparently became close after Cheryl split from husband, Ashley Cole.

After hearing the news, the singer took to Twitter to directly challenge Harvey's claims.

She tweeted: "Was this 'relationship' happening in your head @harveyofficial?! Are you smoking something?

"'I think I've met you once maybe twice at public events and with your wife."

But Harvey stood his ground.

He replied: "Do you actually want me to tweet some of the messages you emailed me @cherylcole pipe down and stop playing the saint in front of your fans."

Before adding: "I had your back @cherylcole until you sent that disapointed in you if the public seen these emails you would end up with egg on your face.

"And let's get this straight @cherylcole I don't need no hype of you! I'd rather go broke and work in sainsburys than talk about your personal sh*t."

Cheryl is yet to respond, but best friend and bandmate, Nicola Roberts defended Cheryl (and made us laugh, a lot) with this Tweet: "Emails?! I think someone's been having you on mate... She doesn't do emails, she does phone sex."

In the interview, Harvey said: "There was a relationship and an attraction to each other's aura.

"She's a good girl. We've got a great respect for each other."

Clearly. TBC...

More artwork for Rihanna, this time a £100,000 crystal portrait

Now she's back from Barbados and sporting a new tattoo (see above), Rihanna's apparently been avoiding the holiday blues with a spot of shopping.

First on the list? A giant portrait of Marilyn Monroe made from 65,000 Swarovski crystals.

According to The Sun, Rihanna commissioned British artist Claire Miliner to create the unusual portrait for her home after seeing her previous pictures of David Beckham and Elvis.

The 5 foot portrait - which took four months to make -  reportedly weighs thirteen stone. It also changes colour.

Claire told the newspaper: "A 100 per cent Swarovski crystal portrait is very luxurious -- people stand and stare because it constantly changes colour, sending rainbows round the room.

"Because of who Rihanna is, everything had to be done through her interior decorators. But they told me afterwards that she loved it."

That's good news. We can't imagine she does returns!
