- Tara Reid, Amy Childs and Kerry Katona battle for best bikini body as the girls

Time of their lives: Una Healy is hoisted into the air by her boyfriend Ben Foden as they enjoy a holiday in Ibiza


Una Healy engaged in a bit of water sports with her rugby player boyfriend today as they playfully recreated the iconic lift scene from the film Dirty Dancing - minus the clothes.

The Saturdays' singer, 28, stripped down to her bikini bottoms for a dip in a swimming pool in Ibiza as she enjoyed her first holiday with boyfriend Ben Foden.

Foden, 24, who plays for the Northampton Saints, had no trouble lifting his tiny girlfriend above his head as she gracefully extended her arms and pointed her toes.

The scene was reminiscent of the romantic 1987 film starring Patrick Swayze, who in a famous scene hoisted Jennifer Grey's character Baby into the air as they practiced in the water.

The Irish singer, who was born and bred in County Tipperary, was enjoying a recent break from her hectic performance schedule with her four fellow Saturdays' bandmates.

It was also a chance for her to reunite with Foden, who has just returned from playing rugby for England in Australia.


The band appeared at the Isle of Wight festival last month and this weekend performed at both T4 on the Beach and the Mercedes Benz Music Festival at Brookland in Surrey.

Things are only set to get busier for the band as they prepare to release their new single, Missing You, followed by the album Headlines.

Both will be released next month.

Seen this somewhere before: Amber Rose recreates Grace Jones's iconic 1978 pose for former partner Jean-Paul Goude

Just like Grace Jones, Kanye West's model girlfriend Amber Rose is fast gaining fame for her stunning figure and shaven head.

As the rapper's launches his new blog KanyeWest.com, he decided to celebrate his new internet venture by showing off the former stripper's shapely figure.

In the risqué shot - an out-take from Rose's Complex magazine shoot last year - the part Italian, part Cape Verdean model recreates Jones's iconic 1978 pose of her holding a microphone while nearly naked.


The original: Grace Jones in the original 1978 image, which was used on the cover of her 1985 album Island Life


The original Jones photo was taken by her former partner Jean-Paul Goude and was published in New York magazine in 1978.
Jones loved the image so much she used it on the front cover of her 1985 compilation album Island Life.
Last year, Rose, 27, recreated a series of Jones album covers for American magazine Complex.
Amazingly, the microphone pose never made the publication, but West clearly decided it was worth being published after putting it on his blog.

The pair started dating exactly a year ago after originally meeting in 2008 when West was engaged to designer Alexis Phifer.

The rapper wanted Rose to star in his Robocop video, but the couple insisted their relationship was purely professional at this stage.

However, after splitting from his fiancée after a six year on/off relationship, Rose and West got together.

West and Rose briefly split last June, but by July, the pair were back together again.

The Philadelphia-born beauty has an exotic lineage, with her mother hailing from the West African island of Cape Verde and an Italian father.

In the interview with Complex magazine last year, Rose spoke of her bisexuality and stripper past, insisting West doesn't mind her colourful background.

She said: 'Yeah, they label me a bisexual freak stripper that beds Kanye on a daily basis.
"Amber Rose, the bisexual, dyke, freak," whatever. I'm extremely open with my sexuality. I can be in love with a woman, I can be in love with a man.

'Kanye knew my life, so when the blogs came out like, “Oh, Kanye do you know she was a stripper, that she used to date girls?” Kanye was like, “Tell me something I don’t know.” Everybody has a life and a past.'



Baby blue and deep purple: Selena and Leighton stroll along the shores in the south of France while filming their new movie Monte Carlo


Selena Gomez and Leighton Meester soaked up the sun in the South of France today - but it was for business, not pleasure.

The were spotted strolling around the foreshore in swimming costumes while shooting scenes for their upcoming movie, Monte Carlo.

Disney darling Selena, 17, wore a turquoise two-piece while Gossip Girl's Leighton Meester, 23, was decked out in a deep purple one piece.

They were also joined by their bikini-clad co-star Katie Cassidy, 23 from the TV show Melrose Place.

Selena and Leighton were seen boarding a private plane to Monte Carlo yesterday, having just finished filming scenes in the romantic city of Paris.

Selena was snapped shopping at the Guerlain counter at Galeries Lafayette yesterday in Paris, but carried a bag of Laudree macaroons onto her flight.

Leighton opted to bring her guitar along, perhaps for a sing-a-long.


Leading lady: Selena replaced Nicole Kidman for the part after bosses decided to target a younger audience


All three actresses certainly appeared to be enjoying some female bonding time as they soaked up the sun in Monte Carlo.

Co-star Corey Monteith who plays Finn in the hit TV series Glee was in Paris to film scenes with Selena, but did not appear to be on set in the south of France.

Taking the lead role in Monte Carlo is a major step forward for Selena.


Snack time: The actresses refuelled between takes


The Wizards of Waverly Place star replaced Nicole Kidman, 43, when the film makers decided they wanted to gear the movie to a younger audience.

However, Nicole is still on board as a producer and the film is set to be released on February 11, 2011.

Monte Carlo is loosely based on the novel Headhunters by Jules Bass.

The three actresses play friends who pose as socialites in Monaco after Selena's character is mistaken as a wealthy British heiress.

Take five: Selena and Katie are all smiles as they enjoy the sunshine


Selena's foray into motion pictures could help her shed her Disney image.
It could also help expand her fan base even further.

Yesterday, Selena sent out a message to her two million plusTwitter followers.

The popular performer shared the news that she now has over five million friends on Facebook.

Selena is also currently enjoying a major publicity blitz.

Don't look now, George! Big Brother's Sophie Reade was seen kissing Coronation Street star Lucien Laviscount at a London club last night after dumping Gary Lineker's son


Gary Lineker's son has been dumped by glamour model girlfriend Sophie Reade - and she's wasted no time moving on.

The Big Brother winner has called off their two-month relationship leaving student George, 18, nursing a broken heart.

Sophie has already found his replacement - former Coronation Street star Lucien Laviscount.

In what will come as another blow to the teen, she was seen kissing the actor, who played Ben Richardson in the soap, outside London nightclub Alto last night.


Sophie, 20, and George first stepped out in public in March but she told him this week that she just wants to be friends.

George posted a message on his Facebook site on the internet warning people to 'mind their own business' and replaced a photo of the couple together with a picture of himself on his profile.

Friends left messages of support, offering him get-away breaks and told him to 'keep his chin up'.

A close friend told how George, who suffered from leukaemia as a child, said: 'They were really close and almost like best friends.


Nursing a broken heart: George with the Big Brother 10 winner in March


'They had been out together loads of times but Sophie decided she wanted to see other people.

'George had introduced her to his dad and she got on really well with his friends.
'But both of them are young and want to see other people.'

A spokeswoman for Sophie Reade confirmed the pair were no longer a couple.

She said: 'As far as I understand there is no relationship. They are now friends but nothing more.'

George was first spotted out in public with Sophie on March 29 at a London party hosted by Walker's Crisps.

Sophie - wearing a salmon pink skirt and black top - was caught gazing lovingly into George's eyes after the bash.

He had initially attended the party with dad Gary, 49, and his wife Danielle, 30.



Attention-grabber: Tara Reid, 35, showed off her amazing bikini body today in this shiny blue two-piece

It's not the sunniest day today - but that didn't stop the Celebrity Big Brother babes stripping off.

The battle for the best bikini body began with American Pie actress Tara Reid the first to don a two-piece.

The 35-year-old sat in a sparkly blue swimsuit as she chatted poolside with a covered-up Kerry Katona, former Coronation Street actor Lucien Laviscount and model Bobby Sable.

Also joining the group was redheaded bombshell Amy Childs, 21, donning a pink and white striped bikini.

But their amazing figures weren't the only thing the girls revealed.


Not your type? Amy told Kerry Katona that she didn't fancy male model Bobby Sabel and she was 'fussy' when it came to men


Amy admitted in the sauna that she thought former Coronation street star Lucien Laviscount wad a 'good body' but he was too young for her at 19


Former Only way Is Essex star Amy joined a now-bikini-clad Kerry, 30, in the sauna, for an old-fashioned girly gossip.

She boldly asked the mother-of-four, who recently split with Take Me Out contestant Dan Foden, is she 'had a new man', to which Kerry replied 'I'm done with men'.

But Amy wouldn't let up, saying: 'No fitties in here for you? What about Bobby?'


New bod: Tara admitted in 2006 she had had liposuction and a breast augmentation which 'went wrong' but has since had it fixed



Look at me: Tara showed off her double-jointed thumb to Amy Childs, Lucien Laviscount, Bobby Sabel and Kerry Katona


Kerry said she though the model was too young for her at 25.

Amy said she was single but was quick to add: 'He's got a good body though doesn't he, what's his name, Lu,' referring to Lucien.

But she also said she thought he was too young for her at 19.

Kerry swooned: 'Yeah he's sweet, don't you fancy him? He's gorgeous, I think he's dead handsome.'

And there doesn't appear to be any cattyness among the three bikini-clad women, with Kerry saying


Girly Gossip: Kerry lounges back in the house sauna as the girls discuss the men in the house


Kerry put a stop to any rumours she was dating anyone when she told Amy she was single and that she was 'off men'


Tara was 'down to earth, not what I expected'.

Tara may have been less willing to show off her body a few years ago after botched plastic surgery.

The 35-year-old, who got married to Bulgarian financier Zachary Kehayo last week, admitted in an interview in 2006 that she had had liposuction on her stomach and a breast augmentation.

But it left her with bulges on her stomach and bumps on her breasts.


Dead gorgeous: The girls' mouths dropped when they caught a glimpse of a topless Lucien as he worked out in the house gym


Ripped: Lucien showed off his muscles as he worked out with weights in front of the mirror


Chilled out: Lucien relaxed on a sun lounger in the backyard of the house after having a work out


She said the surgery 'went wrong' but told how she had had it because her breasts were uneven and she wanted a six pack for a new movie role.

'Right after the surgery I had some bumps along the edges of my nipples, but the doctor said, 'Don't worry, it's going to be better.' But after six months it started to get worse and worse.'

Tara had another operation to correct the surgery and had more liposuction in hopes to even out her stomach.


Like chalk and cheese: Male model Bobby Sabel showed off his six-pack while a fuller-figured Darryn Lyons looked on

Eyes away! A newly-married Tara Reid trys to contain herself next to Bobby as they sweat it out in the sauna


Kerry stunned Tara today as they sat on sun loungers, chatting about their weird talents.

She asked some of the housemates: 'Do you want to see how long my tongue is? before poking out her tongue really slowly, which Amy found hilarious.

She said: 'It keeps going longer, Kezza... That's so scary.'

A baffled Tara asked: 'How do you practice this?' before revealing her own freaky talent.

'I have one trick I can do,' she said.

Luxury pad: Male model Bobby Sabel, 25, looked relaxed as he lay on a lounger in the Celebrity Big Brother house


'But it's not really good like that. It's just my thumb. It's double jointed... it goes all the way back like that.'

Bobby was also seen shirtless today, reclining on a chair in a pair of red swimming trunks.

Earlier, Jedward twins, aka John and Edward Grimes, had an early morning swim in the pool at the luxury pad, based in Elstree, Hertfordshire.

They wore matching striped trunks and managed to keep their trademark coiffed hair upright.
