Funeral for Charlie Sheen's Two and a Half Men character to air during season premiere

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Killed off: Charlie Sheen's Two and a Half Men character Charlie Harper will be killed off in the new season of the show

He was dramatically fired from hit comedy series Two and a Half Men earlier this year, to be replaced by Ashton Kutcher.

But Charlie Sheen's character in the series, Charlie Harper, faces a somewhat stickier end in the first episode of the forthcoming season.

According to reports, the jingle writing womaniser will be killed off, with cast members past and present attending his funeral.


All change: Ashton Kutcher takes Sheen's place in a new promo for the new season of Two and a Half Men alongside Angus T Jones and Jon Cryer


Deadline.com reports that the hotly anticipated episode will open with a memorial service attended by several of Harper's girlfriends.

His beach side home will then go on sale, with real life celebrities viewing the house.

This is then likely to lead to Sheen's replacement Ashton Kutcher buying the house with leading cast members Jon Cryer and Angus T Jones somehow remaining there with him.

The two-part season opener has been shrouded in secrecy with reports from Deadline that some scenes will be shot on a closed set.

Sheen has moved on to other projects and is currently developing a new comedy series Anger Management.


Moving on: A lawyer for Capri Anderson said she was 'relieved; the lawsuit had been dropped

Run out of garage space, Becks? David Beckham is in seventh heaven as he adds customised Ferrari to his car collection

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Hot wheels: David Beckham has a new car parked up on the driveway of his rent Malibu home, a stunning Ferrari 612 Scaglietti

It seems baby Harper Seven isn't the only new addition to the Beckham household - with this $300,000 Ferrari parked in the driveway of the family's Malibu summer beach house.

The black Ferrari 612 Scaglietti, complete with a customised number '7' logo, appears to be the latest motor in David and Victoria Beckham's collection of luxury cars.

Of course the number seven holds a special meaning for LA Galaxy star David - not only is it his daughter's middle name, but it is also his shirt number from his Manchester United days.


Posing together: The LA Galaxy star enjoyed the surf over the weekend in Malibu with his sons, from left, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz


Customised: The sportsman has had a No. 7 logo added to the shiny black motor, a reference to his daughter Harper's middle name and his shirt number from his Manchester United days


The car was spotted taking pride of place in the driveway of the couple's rented Malibu mansion.

With a top speed of 196mph, it can accelerate from 0-60mph in precisely 4.2 seconds.

And without any customisation, the Italian motor costs in the region of $250,000 brand new.


Pricey: Without any customisation, the car costs in the region of $250,000


Others in his collection include a customised black Escalade, a giant off-road Jeep, a BMW, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Porsche as well as several motorbikes.

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Pink lady: Katy Perry unveiled a bold new hair colour as she stopped off at a gas station in Los Angeles with her in LA yesterday

By SARAH FITZMAURICE

Helping hand: Emma Watson was seen helping her friend drive her car as she sat in the back seat after leaving a premiere on Monday

She is one of Hollywood’s highest paid actresses and in-demand models of the moment but it appears that Emma Watson can also drive a car from its back seat.

The Harry Potter star was seen directing from her seat in the back of the car as she and two friends left The Change Up premiere.

And it seems that Emma was in great spirits as she appeared to manoeuvre her friend’s gear stick and stretched her hand out towards the steering wheel.



Used to the attention: While Emma is no stranger to photographers her friend seemed put off and, to her amusement, needed help to work the hybrid car


Emma, who has said goodbye to her role as Hermoine Grainger after the final Harry Potter film was released last month, is no stranger to attention from snappers.

But her friend appeared to be extremely put off by the photographers and was left needing directions from his friend on how to use her hybrid car.

Emma had attended the film screening at the Landmark Theatre on Monday night which had seen stars Ryan Reynolds accompanied by his good friend Sandra Bullock, Olivia Wilde and Jason Bateman walked the red carpet.


This is how you do it: Emma had been at The Change Up premiere when her friend tried, and failed to drive her car

From 'Cole Cappuccino' to 'Katona Karrot'... Pippa Middleton's 'Royal Mocha' leads the celebrity tan tone scale as the most desirable shade in Britain

By JESSICA SATHERLEY

Choosing the right shade of fake tan can be a tough decision, but it has been revealed that Pippa Middleton is influencing British women to opt for a ‘Royal Mocha’ tone this summer.

Miss Middleton's glow has been named the most desirable skin tone by a new study which discovered the most and least desirable celebrity tans of 2011.

And as Pippa’s complexion came out on top, Kerry Katona’s ‘Karrot’ look left her at the bottom of the heap of the celebrity tan-tone chart.


Live chart: The models became part of the world's first tan-tone window display boasting celebrity branded skin shades at The Really Buff Boutique in London's Soho


Cheryl Cole’s ‘Cappuccino’ tan was the second most popular hue, followed by Amy Childs’ ‘Essex Copper’, Christine Bleakley’s ‘Burnished Bronze’ and Katie Price’s ‘Pricey Pecan’.

And yesterday six bikini-clad women were modelling the celebrity branded skin shades at a pop-up beauty salon in London’s Soho area.


Ready for summer: The bikini-clad models show off their fake tans for summer by holding beach balls with their celebrity branded shades


A team of experts, led by tanning guru James Harknett, studied over 100 female celebrities over a three-month period to identify the total of six distinct shades favoured by the rich and famous.

More than 2,000 British ladies then took part in the poll to vote on whose tan came out on top.

Pippa’s gorgeous glow dubbed ‘The Royal Mocha’ nabbed a whopping 60 per cent of the votes, closely followed by Cheryl Cole, who achieved 26 per cent of votes.

Vanessa Feltz shows off the results of her gastric band as she slips into a little white dress for Devil's Double premiere

By Daily Mail Reporter


In good company: Reality shows collide as Lord Rob from Dirty Sexy Things accompanied Funda Onal to the premiere while Ben Ofoedu was dressed in a bizarre ensemble at the screening


She has slimmed down from a size 24 to a 14 after having a gastric band fitted.

And last night Vanessa Feltz showed off the results of the operation as she slipped into a little white dress for the London premiere of The Devil's Double.

The 49-year-old presenter displayed her noticeably slimmed down figure, as well as a deep golden tan, as she and fiancé Ofoedu arrived for the event in Leicester Square.

New figure: Vanessa Feltz displayed the results of her gastric band surgery as she slipped into a little white dress for the premiere of The Devil's Double in London last night. She has gone from a size 24 (right) to a 14


Vanessa underwent the £4,000 operation in Belgium last June after a surgeon relative recommended it.

However, the mother-of-two admitted in December the results of having the operation had been slower than she had hoped.

She said: 'I think I had this fantasy that the weight would drop off magically, but actually it was slower than I expected. It's going in the right direction though.'

On-trend: Rosamund Pike also wore white, which was featured heavily on the S/S 2011 catwalk shows


Vanessa wasn't the only one to opt for a white dress at last night's premiere.

Actress Rosamund Pike led the charge in a sparkling number cut just above the knee with tiny slashes on both legs, hemmed in with a smart slimline belt.

The 32-year-old finished off her outfit with a pair of black peep toe pumps and a miniature purse adorned with a zebra print patches.

In good company: Lord Rob from Dirty Sexy Things accompanied Made In Chelsea's Funda Onal to the premiere while Rick Parfitt Jnr brought his own pretty racy date


Meanwhile Made In Chelsea star Funda Onal stayed on-trend with a loose, low cut summer dress, nude peep toe heels and a salmon pink handbag.

She was accompanied by Lord Rob - a fellow reality star who appears in Channel 4's Dirty Sexy Things, which follows the fortunes of a group of models.

Rob also got in on the act with a white long sleeve T-shirt, though he opted for dark coloured jeans.

Golden brown: TOWIE's Lucy Mecklenburgh arrives at the premiere


The twosome later tweeted about their night, both excited at having met Latif Yahia, who the film is based on.

Rob wrote: 'Had great night at the devils double film premier with @FundaOnal, amazing amazing film, really outstanding.'

While Funda posted a photo with the caption: 'Met the original 'devils double' @latifyahia tonight what an inspiration! We could all learn a lot.'

Scarlet fever: Linzi Stoppard dazzled in a one-shoulder red dress with gold accessories in theme with the movie's poster

Essex and proud: Kirk Norcross poses with a couple of bikini-clad ladies at the premiere of The Devil's Double


Linzi Stoppard bucked the trend, choosing bright red for her showstopping number at the after party for the screening held at China White.

The violin-playing daughter of Tom Stoppard completed her eye-catching outfit with a pair of gold strappy wedge heels and a matching handbag.

TOWIE stars Kirk Norcross and Lucy Mecklenburgh also made appearances, alongside Rick Parfitt Jr and girl group Belle Amie - whose outfits were more suited to a festival than a red carpet premiere.

Festival fodder: X Factor finalists Belle Amie misjudged the event with their festival-style outfits


Also present was lead star Dominic Cooper - who also went for a slightly unorthodox ensemble comprised of a dark coloured blazer, white shirt, turquoise tie, light blue trousers and grey shoes.

The film is based on the true story of Latif Yahia's life as the double of Saddam Hussein's notorious and sadistic son Uday in Iraq.

Cooper said: 'Getting into the mind set was very hard because I despised Uday and I could find no redeeming quality, so it was about understanding what made that man the way he was.

I like this guy!: Latif Yahia and the man who plays him in the movie, Dominic Cooper


'Because there are truly no redeeming qualities, no moral code - so you really have no idea how someone functions like that.

'I looked at things like his relationship with his father and the fact that Saddam never thought him capable of any military stance, and certainly wasn't going to offer him the role of taking over power.

'So you understand the aggression and the hatred and the bile. That gave me at least a key to understanding the psyche.

'Not that it excused it but at least it gave me an understanding of who that man was.'

Yahia's family's lives were threatened unless he agreed to live with Uday in Saddam's palace and appear in public for him if his life was thought to be at risk.

By ALANAH ERIKSEN

Happy for some free time: Emma Watson smiled as she dined with friends at a cafe in Santa Monica

It's an awkward time that a lot of women can identify with - when your hair is too short to tie in a ponytail but still long enough to get in the way.

Millionaire Harry Potter star Emma Watson proved she was human after all as she flicked her hair out of her eyes on the streets of Los Angeles yesterday.

The 21-year-old first appeared on the big screen as a long-haired Hermione Granger in 2003.

She kept the trademark brunette tresses throughout the eight instalments before chopping her locks into a pixie-style cut last year.


Stylish star: Emma looked relaxed in a floaty skirt and striped t-shirt


She sported a slicked back style at the world premiere for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 in Trafalgar Square last month.

But she now appears to be growing a bob, having not had a haircut for months.

Emma was seen yesterday enjoying some time off as she dining with friends at a cafe in Santa Monica before happily strolling around the beachfront city.


Ever-changing: Emma arrived on our screens as long-haired Hermione Granger (right) but chopped her tresses for a pixie bob last year and was seen at the London Harry Potter premiere last month with a slick style


She appeared fresh-faced, wearing a blue and cream scarf over a stripped t-shirt and floaty white skirt.

She added brown sandals, a white purse and a pair of dark Ray Ban-style sunglasses, similar to those seen on several celebrities this summer.

Despite the movie franchise which made her famous coming to an end, Emma still has a string of work commitments

Taking time out: Selena Gomez relaxed by the pool in Orlando on Friday

Selena Gomez took a break from her tour schedule for an afternoon of poolside fun in Miami.

The Disney star, who turned 19 earlier this month, slipped into pretty pink bikini to cool off from the Florida heat on Friday.

At one point, she untied her bikini top to avoid getting tan lines as she reclined on a sun lounger after taking a dip in the pool at a luxury Orlando hotel.


Cooling off: The star risked a wardrobe malfunction as she took a dip without her swimsuit properly tied up

The performer, who kicked off her summer tour on July 24 in Costa Mesa, is travelling throughout the US on her Dream Out Loud tour for the rest of this month.

Her boyfriend Justin Bieber joined her for part of the tour last week and was spotted taking in some sunshine the following day in Miami.
