Merry Christmas! The Kardashian clan all get together and pose for a very glamorous holiday card


The Kardashian family have released this year's Christmas card - and in true Kardashian fashion, it's a very glamorous affair indeed.

Kim, Kourtney, Khloe, Kyle, Kendall, Bruce Jenner, Rob, Kris Jenner, Scott Disick, little Mason and Lamar Odom are all featured in the card, which has a very vintage Hollywood theme to it.

And Kim and Khloe couldn't wait to show off the pictures on their blogs.


Say cheese! The Kardashians, Odoms, Disicks and Jenners all smile and relax a little during the photoshoot


Kim says: 'Every year the whole family gets together to take pics for our family Christmas card. This year was extra special because we had a new addition to the family… little Mason!

We went super glam this year and each went for our own look. Kourt chose a tailored suit to match Mason and Scott, Khloe went for gorgeous peach ruffles and I chose a floor-length white gown. How stunning do Kendall and Kylie look!? This might be my favorite of all our family Christmas cards!'


The Disick-Kardashians: Kourtney and Scott pose with their adorable little son Mason, who donned a suit


Kim looked stunning in a floor-length white gown and sophisticated updo, while Khloe opted for a feathery sleeveless brown dress.

The reality star recently dispelled rumours that she's pregnant, saying she's just packed on a few pounds while filming Kourtney and Kim take New York.

Kim told MTV: 'My reaction is, "God, I've got to stay away from those hot dogs and nuts on the street corner and the ice cream!" Like those trucks, I've never seen that before - trucks of ice cream.

You have to stop and eat! I couldn't control myself, so [in] New York [I] put on like 10 pounds and then I'm pregnant with Kanye's baby, so whatever! What can you do?! Hit the gym!'


What a dapper little gent! Kim can't stop gushing over how handsome Kourtney and Scott's son Mason looks


We love it! Kim and Khloe say this is the most glamorous Christmas card shoot they've had in years


Meanwhile Kourtney decided to go a more unique way with a black suit, while Kyle, Kendall and Kris all opted for glamorous gowns.

Khloe says: 'Christmas cards have always been a REALLY big deal in my family. For as long as I can remember, my mom has made it a point to go all out, whether it was a ninja turtles themed card, or bringing a Santa into the mix, each year she always managed to top the year before.

'I'd have to say though that our card this year might be my favorite. It turned out beautifully -- just SO glam! Plus, Mason is in it, which makes it even more special. Look at him standing there in his pinstripe suit, such a little gentleman!!! LOL. I love it!'

Back to work: Miley Cyrus is seen arriving on the set of her new movie So Undercover in New Orleans as she emerged for the first time since she was filmed smoking a bong


Miley Cyrus surfaced for the first time since she was pictured smoking a 'bong' today.

The teen star walked nonchalantly onto the set of her new movie So Undercover, which she is in New Orleans to film.

Her reappearance comes days after the emergence of the tape, which captured the 18-year-old giggling uncontrollably after taking a hit on the pipe with friends.

Today, Hannah Montana star Miley appeared to be trying to put the controversy behind her as she carried a healthy water bottle and chatted to a friend.

The Disney star plays an FBI agent in the action comedy, going undercover into a sorority house.

She is living on location in Louisiana, taking her away from her home near Los Angeles, California. This is where she was filmed smoking the bong, five days after she turned 18 on November 23.

Sources insist the pipe wasn't filled with marijuana - instead, she is said to have been smoking salvia, a powerful hallucinogenic herb.

It is legally available for sale in California - where the video was shot - and in other states in America.

In the tape, which was posted on celebrity website TMZ, a male friend lights the plastic pipe and she starts to inhale.

He is seen telling her: 'Take all of that in.'


New role: The actress plays an FBI agent who goes undercover into a soriority house


She pauses briefly before swallowing more of the smoke. The singer then turns to camera and laughs: 'OK, I'm about to lose it now.'

A female friend advises: 'Just lie down.'

Moments later Miley says: '[I'm] having a little bit of a bad trip.'

She then laughs for almost a minute while talking nonsense.

Last month Miley told MTV News that she was planning 'a fun party' for her birthday.
TMZ reports that the clip was shot by a friend - but later stolen.

Hopping around: Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore lark around in front of the Great Pyramids of Giza in Egypt


They flew to Egypt on business, but it looks like Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore have made sure they have plenty of time to see the country's amazing sights.

After attending a conference in Luxor last weekend, the famous couple travelled north to Cairo to visit the Great Pyramids of Giza.

Showing their funny side, the couple leaped in the air for a photo in front of the ancient wonders of the world, which they posted on their Twitter pages.

While Demi, 48, looked like a regular tourist in her jumper and jeans, her 32-year-old husband embraced the local dress in a hooded dishdasha and matching trousers.

The couple arrived in Egypt last week to attend the End Human Trafficking Now international forum.

They attended the two-day conference in the southern city of Luxor - near the Valley Of The Kings and Valley Of The Queens - before heading north to Cairo.

The cause is close to the couple's heart after they set up their own charitable foundation DNA, which aims to bring an end to sex slavery.


Serious: The couple attended the Stop Human Trafficking Now forum in Luxor on Sunday


The couple's trip comes after Kutcher defended their regular Tweeting of affection to each other on the micro-blogging site.

He told Harper's Bazaar magazine: 'He said: ‘Sending sweet nothings on Twitter or Facebook is also fun. In some ways, it’s no different than sending flowers to the office – you are declaring your love for all to see. Who doesn’t like to be publicly adored?’

But he warned it was important to be cautious about what you post.

Kutcher, who titled his essay Has Texting Killed Romance?, said: ‘Just remember that what you post is out there – and there’s some stuff you can’t unsee.’

The couple celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary together in October.

New love: Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal can't wipe the smiles off their faces as they went on a romantic stroll to a grocery store in New York recently


It's clear Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal are still enjoying the honeymoon period of their relationship.

But things seem to have taken a more serious turn as he has already introduced the young singer to his other favourite person - his movie star sister Maggie Gyllenhaal.

Taylor was seen holding hands with the actress's four-year-old daughter Ramona as they strolled together in New York.

The new couple were the epitome of domestic bliss as they giggled and smiled during a walk to a local grocery store.

With her arm wrapped affectionately around his shoulders, Taylor and Jake appeared to be in a world of their own as they wallowed in their new-found love, looking at each other adoringly.

Singer Taylor and actor Jake started dating in October. It comes a year after the Brokeback Mountain star split from Reese Witherspoon.


Quality time: They were celebrating Thanksgiving with Jake's sister Maggie. Later Taylor joined her for a stroll along with the actress's daughter Ramona


Taylor, who turned 21 this week, was previously linked to Twilight star Taylor Lautner.

Jake and Taylor were spotted enjoying each other's company in Brooklyn, New York, on Thanksgiving late last month.

After stocking up on groceries, they joined Jake's sister Maggie for dinner.

Jake has been promoting his new film Love & Other Drugs in Sydney recently while Taylor has been in Nashville working on some new music.



Smitten: With a coffee in hand, Taylor put on an affectionate display with her actor boyfriend as she put her arm around him


But despite their hectic schedules the pair made the time to meet up earlier this week when they arrived back in Los Angeles and went on a trip to Beverly Hills.

The couple seem to be going from strength to strength, with sources close to the couple confirming that it's a serious relationship.

'Taylor is smitten. She loves how nice and affectionate he is,' an insider told Us Weekly magazine.

'Jake likes that Taylor is sweet, low-key and very easy to be around.'

Debut: Matt Cardle's music video for winner's single When We Collide was released today


X Factor 2010 winner Matt Cardle's ex-girlfriend accused him of dumping her as soon as he had his first taste of success.

But Lauren Cutmore will undoubtedly be smirking when she sees her ex's new music video for winner's single When We Collide, which made its debut today.

Proving that even X Factor bosses can't edit out the 27-year-old Essex man's past, the pretty 24-year-old makes a cameo appearance in the clip.


Can't re-write history: Cardle is seen celebrating with his ex-girlfriend Lauren Cutmore in the footage of his X Factor journey


Primarily made up of footage of Cardle's X Factor journey, his ex-girlfriend can be seen celebrating with him after he was put through to the boot camp stage of auditions.

Miss Cutmore told the Daily Mail that the former painter and decorator cut off contact with her after getting through to the judge's houses round.

Lauren's father Mick Cutmore told the Sunday Mirror in October that X Factor bosses may have influence Matt's decision to dump his daughter.


Cutthroat: His ex claims that Cardle dumped her saying he would stand a better chance if he was single


Christmas number one? The 27-year-old's Biffy Clyro cover is on track for the top spot, already selling over 100,000 copies


'They said he would stand a better chance if he wasn't with someone,' he claimed.
But while the X Factor may have been keen to promote Cardle as available throughout the series, even they cannot re-write history.

With the moment he found out he had made it through the first stage a poignant moment for Matt, it was impossible for producers to edit Miss Cutmore out of the footage.


Supportive: Miss Cutmore could be seen lining up with the X Factor hopeful at the London auditions in early episodes of the series


Her cameo is very short though, lasting only a couple of seconds.

The rest of the music video is made up of Cardle in a spotlit studio, playing a guitar.

During an interview with the Daily Mail this week, the singer played down his ex's claims, but conceded that they were based in fact.

Blooming: TV presenters Myleene Klass (left) and Holly Willoughby make a glamorous entrance to A Night Of Heroes Military Awards at the Imperial War Museum in Lambeth, south London


They may be expecting, but Myleene Klass and Holly Willoughby didn't let their burgeoning bellies affect their style at the Night Of Heroes Awards last night.

The pregnant TV presenters looked stunning in colourful floor-length gowns as they joined a host of stars, including David Beckham, Katherine Jenkins and X Factor winner Matt Cardle, at the annual military awards, nicknamed 'The Millies'.


Former Hear'Say singer Klass, 32, went for old Hollywood chic in a strapless jade green dress and fur stole, while This Morning host Willoughby, 29, wore a fitted blue wrap gown.

Klass and partner Graham Quinn are expecting their second daughter in March, while Willoughby is pregnant with a sibling for her 19-month-old son Harry in May.

The former pop star, who already has a three-year-old daughter Ava, presented an award at the event at the Imperial War Museum in Lambeth, south London, with Jeremy Clarkson.


Colourful: Classical singer Katherine Jenkins (left) wore a striking magenta dress, while Queen of the Jungle Stacey Solomon looked sleek in a white dress


Writing on Twitter at the ceremony, she said: 'The Millies. A room full of inspiring service men and women. Feel so proud of my own dad (who served in the Royal Navy)...

'Wish the rioters/general idiots could see the faces of the service children walk to the stage wearing their fallen dads' medals. THAT'S brave.'


Paired up: Girls Aloud singers Kimberley Walsh and Nicola Roberts (left) and actress Bernie Nolan and her daughter Erin


On the way to the awards, Willoughby claimed her bump was looking noticeably bigger than normal.

Also bringing some glamour to the ceremony was classical singer Katherine Jenkins, who wore an asymmetrical magenta dress, and newly-crowned Queen of the Jungle Stacey Solomon, who wore a flowing white Grecian number.



Where's your Blue Peter badges? Former Blue Peter co-hosts Zoe Salmon (left) and Konnie Huq both attended the ceremony


Representing Girls Aloud were band members Nicola Roberts and Kimberley Walsh, who posed together on the red carpet.

Redhead Nicola wore an off-the-shoulder leopard-print Vivienne Westwood dress, while Kimberley looked chic in a black and nude lace shift.

It was a reunion of sorts for former Blue Peter co-presenters Zoe Salmon and Konnie Huq, who worked together on the BBC show in the mid-Noughties.

Northern Irish Salmon, 30, wore a strapless, velvet teal mini, while Xtra Factor presenter Huq, 35, showed off her figure in an asymmetrical dress.

While many celebrities attended solo, David Beckham brought his eldest son Brooklyn, while former Brookside actress Bernie Nolan arrived with her daughter Erin, 11.

Beckham was joined by former England teammates Rio Ferdinand and Frank Lampard and his presenter girlfriend Christine Bleakley.

Here come the aristocracy: Andrew Lloyd Webber and Over The Rainbow winner Danielle Hope (left) and actor Sir David Jason and his girlfriend Gill Hinchcliffe


One couple making their red carpet debut was Celebrity Big Brother star Chantelle Houghton and former Crimewatch presenter Rav Wilding.

Also in attendance was Ann Widdecombe, Coronation Street's Helen Worth, soul singer Beverly Knight, David Jason, Ross Kemp, Lord Lloyd-Webber, boy band McFly and Labour leader Ed Miliband.

The annual ceremony celebrates the bravery of the Armed Forces and military heroes and will be broadcast on ITV1 on Friday night.
It was hosted by Amanda Holden and Phillip Schofield.

Cat's got the cream: A smiling Rebecca Ferguson visits an estate agent in her native Liverpool this afternoon


She may have been the runner-up in this year's X Factor, but the future is certainly looking bright for Rebecca Ferguson.

Amidst reports she is set to sign a record deal with Simon Cowell, the mother-of-two was spotted house-hunting in her native Liverpool today.

Looking thrilled to be back home in Merseyside, the stylish singer, 24, beamed with happiness as she popped into a local estate agent.

Wearing a hat, fluffy coat and a pair of jeggings, Ferguson was joined by her younger brother Sam, 21, as she picked up some sales leaflets of a few properties in the Allerton suburb of Liverpool.

The singer told the Liverpool Echo she was hoping to find a 'nice house' for her and her children Lillie May, six, and Karl, four.

While Ferguson and Cowell are declining to confirm reports of a deal between them, her house-hunting suggests a big payday is looming.


Looking forward to the future: Rebecca leaves an estate agent after picking up some information on a few properties


Searching for a family home: The single mother wants to find a house for her two children Lillie May, six, and Karl, four


Earlier this week, she told the Echo: 'I have a day meeting with management. I imagine there will be interest and I will find out about contracts.

'It would be amazing to record my own album. I like to write my own songs.'

Speaking this week, Cowell said: 'I love her and she will have a fantastic career. She's unique and knows her own mind.'

Her mentor Cheryl Cole is equally positive about the singer's future: 'I think the future is bright and this is the start of a life-changing moment for Rebecca. She is an amazing person with a great heart and she deserves to go far.


Close: Rebecca was joined by her younger brother Sam Ferguson, 21
'She knows what she is and knows what she wants to be and we've seen that over the weeks.'


While Cowell is yet to confirm if he's signed Ferguson, fellow judge Louis Walsh tipped the Scouser to have a 'brilliant recording career'.

Cowell is also said to have offered his boy band One Direction and fourth place singer/rapper Cher Lloyd recording contracts.


Stylish: Rebecca looked chic in a fluffy coat and leggings - but may have found her feet a bit cold in her strappy sandals
