How much bigger can pregnant presenter Ulrika get?

Ulrika Jonnson looked set to pop as she went shopping with new husband Brian Monet.

The mother-to-be wore a long flowing white skirt and loose T-shirt on the outing, but she still couldn't conceal her enormous baby bump underneath.

Jonnson, 40, is expecting her fourth child any day now and the strain is starting to show. With a flushed face and wind swept hair the Swedish TV presenter looked keen to put her feet up for a well-deserved rest. She wore comfortable blue sandals to help take some of the strain off her back.

Ulrika announced she was expecting a boy with advertising executive Brian, 39, in Hello magazine back in March but she is no stranger to maternal life.

She has three children from three previous relationships: 13-year-old son Cameron by John Turnbull; seven-year-old daughter Bo by Markus Kempen; and three-year-old daughter Martha by Lance Gerrard-Wright.

The former weather-girl has had a turbulent love life with a string of high-profile relationships, including with former England manager and fellow Swede Sven-Goran Eriksson.

In 2002 she presented the show Mr Right, where an eligible bachelor had to choose a girlfriend from a group of women. She married the contestant - Lance Gerrard-Wright in 2003, only to divorce him two years later.

But the reality show star admitted recently to Hello magazine: "I don’t give any thought to the fact that I will have four children by four fathers.

"I have three amazing, beautiful children. The fact that relationships with their fathers didn’t work is not solely my responsibility."

Despite this she claims she is a fantastic mother.

“I nurture them with huge amounts of love, discipline and confidence," she said.

Ms Jonnson claims she has always cherished the idea of having a large family. So perhaps after she has recovered from her latest pregnancy she may begin to plan baby number five?

Nicole Richie and her rocker beau take baby Harlow to the park

Motherhood clearly suits socialite Nicole Richie given the size of the smile on her face.

The Simple Life star, 26, beamed with happiness as she took her four-month-old daughter Harlow for a day in an Los Angeles park with boyfriend Joel Madden.

The new parents took their cute daughter out for a stroll in the spring sunshine in their local area of Glendale.

Wearing cut-off Paige denim shorts and hippy Kaftan-style top, Nicole look slender and healthy compared to her gaunt frame of previous years.
Style icon Nicole made sure baby Harlow was colour co-ordinated in a lilac two-piece.

Meanwhile, proud Dad Joel - whose twin brother Benji is dating Nicole's best friend Paris Hilton - couldn't take his eyes of the two women in his life.

Family time: The young couple play with their four-month-old daughter

Joel and Nicole started dating in late 2006 after the rocker ended his two-year relationship with teen singer/actress Hilary Duff and Nicole split from DJ fiance Adam 'DJ AM' Goldstein.

Just weeks into their relationship, Nicole was arrested for driving under the influence on her way home from Joel's home in LA.

Last July, she was ordered to serve four days in jail, but only ended up spending 82 minutes behind bars due to overcrowding.

Since becoming a mother, Nicole insists her partying, wild child days are behind her and her daughter has given her a new sense of purpose.

Earlier this month, Nicole gushed: "Everything I do is for her.

"I was so excited from the minute I found out I was pregnant ... and it's been nothing but an amazing ride since.

"Joel actually changes more diapers (nappies) than I do. It's his time with her. He sings to her. He laughs with her, plays with her. It's amazing.

"I feel like my group of five to 10 friends, they really love her, like she's theirs ... My friends never go outside for smoke breaks anymore, they don't curse, they are definitely more demure. It's actually been really interesting."

Lindsay Lohan's lesbian kiss with Mark Ronson's sister in Cannes

Lindsay Lohan and her ‘girlfriend’ Samantha Ronson were caught kissing in Cannes last night.

The two - who have maintained that they are just friends amid rumours that they are a couple - gave into their inhibitions as they cavorted on the top deck of P Diddy’s party yacht.

Diddy’s infamous parties- and boat - are are known to be wild but his night was overshadowed by Lindsay’s and Samantha’s clinching embrace.

The Mean Girls actress looked happy as she intimately conversed with her DJ friend.

The sister of Producer Mark Ronson did not seem to care who was watching their steamy kiss.

Lohan has been linked to a string of men from Colin Farrell to Jude Law.

But it was strange to see that Lindsay - who isn't seeing anyone at the moment - had a ring on her engagement finger.

Their open display of affection could confirm rumours that started last year about their relationship.

It was reported that Samantha, 30 kept in contact Lindsay when she spent a stint in rehab last year.

They apparently kept in touch with explicit messages to each other.

Rumours also emerged that Samantha had moved in with Lindsay to help her stay out of trouble but let's not forget that Ronson was on the clubbing scene with Lohan during her infamous hit and run DUI in May last year.

Curvy Christina Aguilera lives the glamorous life in New York

She may be a new mother, but Christina Aguilera hasn't let it slow her down.

The 27-year-old singer, who gave birth to son Max just four months ago, was at her glamorous best as she hit New York yesterday in a figure-hugging bright print dress.

By evening, she'd slipped into a sheer grey vest which showed her leopard-print bra, black leggings and suede Christian Louboutin heels for a night of clubbing with her record executive husband Jordan Bratman.

Off duty: Christina took time out from looking after her baby Max for the afternoon outing

While Christian has clearly mastered looking effortlessly chic after shedding her formerly Dirrty image, the same can not be said for Bratman, who looked rather dishevelled by comparison.

The couple arrived in the city on Monday to attended Christian Dior fashion show.

Christina is expected to return to the recording studio this month where she plans to work with DJ Premier.

Date night: after a costume change, Christina and her husband Jordan visited a New York club

She recently revealed she's not short in inspiration for new material to follow up the hugely successful Back to Basics album.

She said: "This whole incredible thing that's taken part in my life, between the pregnancy and the birth, I've got so much to be inspired about and so much in my life to write about.

"This next album will have a whole new me, so there's a lot to look forward to."

Is Girls Aloud Sarah Harding copying Amy Winehouse's shorts and bra look?

Who would have thought Amy Winehouse was a fashion icon for other stars?

Well, Girls Aloud's Sarah Harding for one seems to be following the troubled soul singer's sartorial style - or rather, lack of it.

Just like Miss Winehouse, who likes nothing better than wearing a cut-off shorts and a bra, the girlband member has taken to wearing... cut-off shorts and a bra (sort of).

The 26-year-old boasted the flesh-revealing ensemble yesterday in Brighton after wearing an equally skimpy outfit on stage the night before.

Meanwhile, 60 miles away in Camden, north London, Miss Winehouse, 24, was still wearing the combo she has donned almost every day for the last two weeks.

One wonders if the Back to Black singer knew Miss Harding was a fan of the less-is-more dresscode?

But her decision to go out wearing minimal clothing is unlikely to surprise anyone.

The singer made £100,000 just for posing in her underwear in a bra deal with Ultimo.

It's also thought the star's sexbomb image has earned her a total of £2.5million since Girls Aloud formed six years ago.

The group are also famed for giving sexually-charged performances.

At a recent Belfast concert, Miss Harding straddled half-naked dancers and panted at fans: "Are all your fantasies coming true?"

During their Tangled Up tour the fab five began have begun each show suspended 12ft above the stage in superhero capes and clingy black Spandex bondage gear.

And Cheryl Cole, Kimberley Walsh, Nicola Roberts, Nadine Coyle and Miss Harding all take turns to writhe with scantily-clad male dancers.

With Ashley still in the doghouse, Cheryl Cole turns to a faithful companion - her chihuahua

With a loyal companion in short supply thanks to her husband's indiscretions, Cheryl Cole has turned to the most faithful male in her life - her chihuahua Buster.

The singer was thrilled to be reunited with her pup after a Girls Aloud performance in Brighton last night, nursing him on her lap as she headed back to her hotel.

The 24-year-old was driven away by her band mate Nicola Roberts, who strangely decided to play chauffeur for the evening.

Buster has been a stalwart figure for Cheryl - after all, she dressed him in his own special diamante-studded outfit at her £1 million wedding to Ashley in 2006.

While her affection for him remains strong - her marriage hasn't faired so well.

The couple haven't been seen together since allegations of his infidelities surfaced in January, and neither have resumed wearing their wedding ring.

Cheryl has thrown herself into work, and is in the middle of their sell-out Tangled Up! tour, their fourth tour in the six years they've been together.

It appears to be a welcome distraction for Cheryl, who said recently: "There's always something going on, people having a gossip or sharing a joke and it's really homely.

"We've got stacks of DVDs – Friends, Only Fools and Horses which Sarah really loves and lots of chick flicks."

Girls Aloud are scheduled to perform at the London's 02 tomorrow.

Claudia Schiffer plays sex kitten for Vogue magazine

She dominated the catwalk during the 1990s, now Claudia Schiffer is proving she's still worthy of supermodel status.

The 37-year-old has stripped off - save for briefs, hold-ups and a feline mask - in a provocative cover shoot for the German edition of Vogue magazine.

The mother-of-two stars in a photographic collection, boldly titled Sex, by renowned fashion snapper Mario Testino, who is famous for shooting the world's most high profile stars, including Princess Diana and Madonna.

Claudia has steadily emerged back on the modelling scene after taking time away to raise her son Caspar, who was born in 2003, and daughter Clementine, who she welcomed a year later.

Late last year she teamed up for a shoot with Chanel style maestro Karl Lagerfeld, who plucked her from obscurity to be the face of brand more than 20 years ago.

The German born star famously declared last year that the new generation of models can no longer achieve the kind of global celebrity she, Naomi Campbell and Cindy Crawford enjoyed in the 1990s.

She said at the time: "In order to become a supermodel one must be on all the covers all over the world at the same time so that people can recognise the girls.

"That is, for now, not possible, not least because the advertising industry is very much taken nowadays by popstars and actresses. Supermodels like we once were don't exist any more."

Claudia, who is now lives in a £5million Suffolk mansion,

In 2002, she married Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels film producer Matthew Vaughn after ending a long term romance with magician David Copperfield.
