Fight Night with Nicky and Bijou?

It’s so hard to keep up with the feuding that goes on in Young Hollywood these days.

Case in point-Nicky Hilton and Bijou Phillips.

What's the latest on those two?

At last night’s opening of the Intermix boutique on Robertson Boulevard, Phillips apparently wasn’t too keen on hanging with the hotel heiress.

A source tells me a television reporter asked Hilton and Phillips to do an interview together. Phillips turned him down with a grimace. She shook her head and said, "Nope. Those are the rules," reports an onlooker.

Fortunately, it didn’t spoil the evening. They both headed inside for the bash, where E! Online’s Hollywood Party Girl reports she saw the ladies actually hanging out and chatting it up.

Is there a feud simmering, or are there some new red carpet rules I don't know about? Whatever.

Isla Fisher's Action Ban

Pregnant Isla Fisher was banned from doing stunts in her new film 'Hot Rod'.

The Australian actress wasn't even allowed to film a scene where she was standing on a moped, because the crew were worried something could go wrong with her pregnancy.

She said: "They wouldn't even let me do that one scene where you see me standing on the moped. They only let me do the drive up and the turn, and then the stuntwoman took over. At least, I hope it was a woman in a red wig, but it may have been a man!"

The 31-year-old star - who is expecting a baby with her fiancé, Sacha Baron Cohen - also explained why she tried to keep the pregnancy a secret.

She told Britain's The Independent newspaper: "In the beginning, I dodged the rumours. I was trying not to be rude, but there's a time before you're sure everything is all right with no complications that you just don't want to discuss it."

Mary Mcdonnell Granted Restraining Order Against Stalker.

Actress MARY McDONNELL has been granted a restraining order against a stalker after the crazed fan posted photographs of the star's children online.

McDonnell, who plays President Laura Roslin on cult TV show Battlestar Galactica, obtained the cease-and-desist order from a California court earlier this week (ends28Sep07) after images of her kids Olivia and Michael appeared on an internet fan forum, reports PageSix.com.

The stalker, from Kansas City, Missouri, posted the pictures online using the screen name 'peakeana'.

One student who attends Brandeis University near Boston, Massachusetts, says: "I have personally seen this woman following Mary McDonnell around on campus."

Farrah Fawcett's Cancer Treatment

Farrah Fawcett has flown to Germany to receive "alternative cancer treatments".

The former 'Charlie's Angels' star - who was told her cancer of the lower intestine had returned in May - made the decision to travel to Frankfurt after being told the treatment she wanted wasn't available in the US.

A spokeswoman for Frankfurt's University Clinic said: "I can confirm that Farrah Fawcett was here and was treated here, but I have no more information."

Farrah's close friend Craig Nevius said: "She was declared 100 per cent cancer free and then it came back. She was discouraged by the treatments she got here. The fact that it recurred after all that she went through was heartbreaking.

"She has been in Germany getting alternative treatments not allowed in the US."

Nevius also revealed Fawcett, 60, is filming her cancer battle for a possible documentary.

He said: "She's been documenting everything in a video diary for what could be a very important documentary."

Kimberly Stewart's revealing night at a Playboy party

Kimberly Stewart may have been almost falling out of her dress, but she managed to fit right in a party held by Playboy last night.

The model worked a very busty blonde look as she arrived at London's Sketch nightclub in a plunging v-neck black dress.

The daughter of rocker Rod Stewart famously had her breast implants removed, so her ample - if a little uneven - cleavage is likely thanks to a push-up bra.

Taking the plunge: Kimberly Stewart the launch of a Playboy store last night



Playing up: the model worked the camera in an all black outfit

Kimberly had an enlargement at 18, but decided to return to her natural state - and rather curiously gave the lumps of silicone to her friend Jack Osbourne as a gift.

She said: "I gave him my implants, I framed them and I signed them and I engraved them and he has them on his bathroom wall.


Hello boys! Even Kimberly looks rather surprised at her buxom look

At the time, Rod encouraged her decision to take them out. She recalls: "He's very supportive of whatever I do. He was just like, 'If you don't feel comfortable, if you don't feel safe, just get them removed.'"

Meanwhile, a host of other guests arrived ready for fun at the Playboy store launch event, including reality TV star Danielle Lloyd, model Leah Wood and singer Lily Allen.


In his element: Calum Best was all smiles as he posed with Playboy bunnies



Bag ladies: Danielle Lloyd and Jade Goody enjoyed the free delights

Jade Goody, who's home was robbed earlier this week, also made an appearance but left swiftly after her ex Jack Tweed arrived.

Lothario Calum Best looked more than thrilled at his invitation and looked in his element as he posed up with a group of bunnies.

Mel B enlists Posh to design sexy frocks for Dancing with the Stars

Having a style icon pal comes in handy sometimes. And as if she didn't have her fingers in enough pies, Victoria Beckham is to design her fellow Spice Girl Mel B's costumes for Dancing With The Stars.

The American version of the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing kicked off this week and Mel was a massive hit dancing the cha-cha.

Posh is a natural choice to help design the huge range of outfits Scary Spice will need if she manages to do well in the competition.
Grand designs: Posh has offered her services to pal Mel B and plans to help design some sexy looks for her appearances on US dance show Dancing with the Stars
Victoria, 33, who is in Japan to promote her perfume range, already boasts her own clothing line, VB, and created jeans for Rock And Republic.

She has also designed a handbag collection for fashion label Samantha Tharasa, but Mel won't be needing one of those as she dances her way into the hearts of the American public with her partner, Ukrainian-born ballroom champion Maksim


Dazzling: Mel won praise for her appearance in the first show earlier this week. She appeared in her trademark leopard-print.

Mel, 32, said: " Victoria is gonna come to one of the shows.

"She is excited, she said, 'I have to design your costumes'. We're sorting that out at the moment as I'm very keen for Vic to put her stamp on my costumes. Everybody knows she has amazing style, just look at all the different dresses and looks she pulls off and the trends she starts.

"I want her to help design a couple of my looks for me, so we're sitting down to throw about some ideas shortly."

Scary, who married film producer Stephen Belafonte in June, is in the middle of a child support battle with actor Eddie Murphy after he was proved to be the father of their five-monthold daughter Angel Iris.

Mel got off to an impressive start on Dancing With The Stars on Monday night.

Beforehand, dressed in her trademark leopardskin print, she confessed she was terrified - but it didn't show as she danced her way into the judges' affections.

She might be regarding that cutaway frock as her lucky dress - she was wearing it backstage on the set yesterday.

Meanwhile it was revealed that Vic and her husband David - who flew to Britain today after his father Ted's heart attack - hope to one day join the Pussycat Dolls on stage for a raunchy dance routine to help boost their profile in LA.

With Vic in the Pussycat Dolls and Mel on Dancing With The Stars, it looks as if it will be difficult to find time to rehearse for the Spice Girls reunion tour, which kicks off in December. Busy girls.

Charlie Sheen daughter accusations

Denise Richards' former nanny has alleged the actress' ex-husband Charlie Sheen inappropriately touches their daughters.

Richards' legal team have submitted a sworn declaration from Diana Alvarez - as part of the couple's ongoing battle for custody of three-year-old Sam and two-year-old Lola - voicing "concern" and "alarm" about Sheens behaviour towards his children.

Alvarez raises her "concern" as to whether Sheen inappropriately touched the girls' "molees" - their nickname for breasts - and their "tushys" - referring to their bottoms - although her declaration lacks any concrete evidence.

Alvarez also alleges Sheen sleeps in the same bed as Sam while his fiancée Brooke Mueller sleeps in the guest room, according to the New York Daily News newspaper.

Sheen - who fired Alvarez after accusing her of spying on him for Richards - has branded the "diabolical accusations" "laughable and inane".

The 'Two and a Half Men' star also stated: "During the 18 months before my request to select my own child-care provider, not a single complaint was made or received regarding the welfare of the children while under the care of myself and/or Brooke.

"I repeat - NOT A SINGLE COMPLAINT by either Ms. Richards herself, or her representatives and nanny."

Gwen Stefani's Madness Misery

Gwen Stefani was so in love with Suggs she cried when she discovered he was married.

The No Doubt star revealed she had a massive crush on 'Madness' singer when she was growing up and broke down when she found out he had tied the knot with Bette Bright.

Speaking on the BBC Radio 1 Legends show on Tuesday night (25.09.07), Gwen said: "When I was younger, me and my friends found out about Madness and we loved it. I think because it was from England, and London, we loved that whole culture.

"And when I first saw the video for 'One Better Day' and saw Suggs' wife I literally started crying - it was craziness!"

Gwen also admitted she only really started appreciating Bob Dylan when she was older.

She said: "My mom and dad used to listen to Bob Dylan all the time when I was younger, and I couldn't stand it. I kept thinking, 'What is this guy moaning about?' But now I'm older I love his music, and can appreciate him for the poet he is."

The 'I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry' star - who is currently dating Justin Timberlake - is said to be in talks with film bosses to star as the sexy superhero in a movie version featuring the Justice League of America, a crime fighting superhero team featured in DC comics.

Cheryl Cole's sexiest brunette

Cheryl Cole has been named the world's sexiest brunette.

The Girls Aloud singer - who is married to Chelsea soccer star Ashley Cole - beat Hollywood beauty Jessica Alba to the top spot in the poll by Britain's Nuts magazine.

Men questioned in the survey also revealed they would rather marry a brunette than a blonde, because dark-haired girls are more trustworthy.

Nuts deputy editor Hans Seeberg said: "Blondes may have a reputation for having more fun, but that's no good if their hair colour actually puts men off. Men are less likely to get involved in a serious relationship if they think there's a chance the girl might be having too much fun while their backs are turned."

Despite being one of world's most desirable females, Cheryl recently confessed she dislikes her own body.

The 24-year-old pop beauty is very insecure about her looks and has to work extremely hard to maintain her slender figure.

She said: "I'm not happy with my body. I have to watch my weight and really put myself through it, trying silly diets or doing stupid gym workouts.

Pamela Anderson's party fears

Pamela Anderson's wild partying is putting her health at risk.

The former 'Baywatch' star - who contracted hepatitis C from sharing a tattoo needle with ex-husband Tommy Lee - is said to be in danger of seriously damaging her liver with her excessive drinking and constant partying.

A source told New York Post newspaper: "She parties almost every night. She drinks, she does stuff and she's got hepatitis C. Her liver is shot but she keeps living this crazy lifestyle.

"We don't think she understands how serious this is. She has two kids and may not be around to see them grow up at this rate."

The 40-year-old actress - mother to sons Brandon, 11, and Dylan, nine - is said to be leading an even wilder lifestyle since she began dating Paris Hilton's ex-boyfriend Rick Salomon.
The source said: "They went wild over the MTV Video Music Awards weekend. I just watched them party with my jaw open."

Pamela has allegedly been telling friends she is engaged to Rick - who she has only known for six weeks - and has even told some pals they are already married.

Sarah Harding Moves DJ Lover into New £1m Pad

Sarah Harding isn't one to waste time. The Girls Aloud singer has just bought a new £1m flat in London's Camden and moved in this week.

And even though her relationship with DJ Tom Crane has only been going steady for a few months, she's already moved him in too.

Moving in: Girls Aloud's Sarah Harding is setting up a love-nest with DJ boyfriend Tom Crane

The 25-year-old, attending the Links Of London watch launch in Grosvenor Place last night, said: "I've been looking to buy a flat for ages now and I've just bought one and moved in this week.

"The kitchen isn't finished and the floorboards aren't even finished but I just couldn't wait.

"Tom has moved in too, we just decided, 'Why not?' We're mad about each other and it feels right. If it all goes wrong then fine, but why not give it a go? I'm sick of playing games with men. We've been friends for years so that's why it works so well."


Mad about the boy: Sarah has bought a £1million apartment and her DJ love is set to move in too
Sarah had two bids on other flats in north-west London rejected before finding her perfect pad.

She added: "It's so hard to find a flat in London at the moment, I'm very lucky I can afford one, but I had two offers fall through before I found this one.

"I love it, it's a two-storey maisonette and it's really quirky, which is what I wanted. I bid £15,000 under the asking price and I still got it.

"I am gutting the entire place and redecorating to suit my taste. When I'm finished it'll probably be worth another £100,000. But finally I have a place to call home."

After the watch launch Sarah and Tom headed off for dinner to celebrate his birthday, which is today.

Sarah has earned herself a reputation as one of the capital's biggest party girls after being snapped repeatedly in various states of sobriety outside some of London's most popular nightspots.

But she insists her relationship with club DJ Tom is changing all that.

She told us: "He's a great influence on me, I'm trying to calm down now. We try to just go for dinner and stay in and not party too much, but of course I still enjoy my nights on the town."

Sex and the City's Carrie Goes from Blonde to Brunette

Sex and the City fans are being kept guessing on details of what the plot of the film will be – but Sarah Jessica Parker couldn't keep one of the film's secrets under wraps.

The actress who plays fashion-forward journalist Carrie Bradshaw arrived on set having undergone a dramatic change in hair-colour from her usual curly blonde do to a more classic brunette.

Just what's prompted this change of hair colour is unclear – let's hope it's not due to relationship dramas with her notoriously fickle onscreen beau Mr. Big.

Filming of the big screen version of the cult wildly successful Sex and the City television show started earlier this week, after a deal was sealed between feuding actresses Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall.

Kiss and make up: Sex and the City co-stars Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall share an awkward kiss onset but rumours of a rift persist

Tentative proof that the two have made up – on film anyway – came as the two shared what looked like – even for two actresses - a very awkward kiss.

Parker and Cattrall reportedly fell out during the filming of the television show, which ended in 2004.

Friend: Rift began after Cattrall objected to Parker's hefty payday on the original series

Celebrity websites reported attempts to make the movie stalled when Cattrall demanded for the same money as Parker who was always paid more for the television series due to her additional role as executive producer.

However despite coming together on Monday as filming started, reports have already emerged that the feud between Cattrall and Jessica Parker may still be simmering.

Kim is reported to have stormed out of a reunion party for the cast held on the weekend in New York.

Foe: Kim Cattrall (Samantha), is said to have had a row with Parker at a reunion party for the cast before filming began

The actress was apparently "scowling" as she left the bash at Butter restaurant to celebrate the start of filming Sex and the City: The Movie.

A source told the New York Daily News: "Kim left earlier than the others and was wearing a scowl. She was just shooting a dirty look at the paparazzi."

The source added: "Thirty minutes later the other two left, with big smiles on their faces. Kristen climbed into a town car and Sarah looked like she was walking home."


Natural look: Kristin Davis, Sarah Jessica Parker and Cynthia Nixon appear to be the best of friends as they stroll together on location

Earlier the actresses arrived for filming looking less than glamorous in their casual clothes. But a few hours in hair and make-up and they were transformed into their chic and stylish New York characters.

But onset at least, it appears the actresses are putting on a united front.

Britney's ex-bodyguard blows lid on her 'drug use and nudity'

A former bodyguard of Britney Spears has accused the pop star of post-rehab drug use and of having "issues of nudity" as he gave evidence in the custody battle over her two children.

Tony Barretto, who was yesterday revealed as the "secret witness", filed a declaration in the custody battle which alleges "issues of nudity by Ms. Spears, drug use and safety issues involving the children."

Laywer Gloria Allred told reporters: "Today we came to court with a key and secret witness in the Britney Spears/Kevin Federline custody battle. Our client's name is Tony Barretto. He was employed as a bodyguard for Ms. Spears from the time she came out of rehab until May 17th.

“During that time he was in her home on a full time basis, drove Ms. Spears to various appointments and observed her behavior inside of her home, outside of her home and around her children."

“He became very concerned about the children and their safety. Though he was reluctant to come forward amd become embroiled in her custody dispute he decided to do so because of his concern about the safety and well being of the children. He is a father of young children himself."

In a further twist to the bitter tug-of-love, Barretto also gave evidence about a planned "hit" on Britney's ex-husband Kevin Federline.

FBI and LAPD are investigating reports about a suspected plot to carry out "a contract hit" on Federline.

Spears married Federline in October 2004. She filed for divorce last November and the divorce became official July 30.

The two have joint custody of sons Sean Preston, who turned 2 on Friday, and Jayden James, who turned 1 on Wednesday.

Federline reportedly has been fighting to get full custody of the two boys.

Britney made a disastrous start to her career revival last week in her opening act at the MTV Video Awards, which was followed by more purported photos of her without underwear hitting the Internet.

Britney's team opted not to cross examine Barretto, but Federline's attorney, Mark Kaplan, said it was not unusual for lawyers to decline questioning a surprise witness.

"Sometimes lawyers don't like cross-examining when they don't know what the extent of the answers will be," said Kaplan.

Kaplan did not discuss what went on inside the hearing, but told reporters his client was not seeking more money from Spears.

Kaplan said a new custody hearing would likely come in mid-November. An exact date was not yet available.

In yet more bad news for the troubled singer, her management company yesterday announced they had dumped her.

The Firm said in the statement: "It saddens us to confirm media reports that we have terminated our professional relationship with Britney Spears."

"We believe Britney is enormously talented, and has made a terrific record. But current circumstances have prevented us from properly doing our job. We wish Britney the best."

Angelina's attack on Brad: 'Just be quiet and look pretty'

Angelina Jolie has all of Hollywood talking after launching a scathing attack on her partner Brad Pitt, according to new claims.

Grazia reports that Angelina was overheard complaining about his lack of financial prowess, telling a male companion: "The reality is 'we're not a company together. Things should be separate. I think you know I make my own financial decisions."

"Brad knows there are times he should just be quiet and look pretty. I won't talk to Brad about this because you know how he is financially, which is stupid. Someone has to make the big decisions though.

"He'll put his money into things, [but it's] bizarre. It doesn't always make sense to me."

Reports of the alleged conversation, which is said to have taken place at New York's Waldorf-Astoria Hotel on September 5, first surfaced in American publication In Touch.

Claims of the scathing attack are said to have upset Brad - who has tried to step away from his image as a pin-up in recent times - and left him feeling "emasculated."

A source told Grazia: "Brad has really gone out of his way not to be viewed as pretty. He's always seemed very sensitive about it and I think he hates being put in that box.

"Brad is incredibly proud of all the charity work he has done in New Orleans, so of course, it must have been disappointing to hear such a comment attributed to his own girlfriend."

Still, it appears the storm is quickly passing. Despite the claims, Brad has continued to talk of increasing his brood, which already includes 6-year-old Maddox, Pax, 3, Zahara, 2, and Shiloh, 1.

Brad told reporters: "They say, 'Any plans for a fifth?' And I say, 'And a sixth, and a seventh, and an eighth, and a ninth.' That's my answer."

And after pictures emerged of Angelina with a substantial bump under her figure-hugging dress, there has been speculation that she is already pregnant.

Jennifer Lopez's Relationship Blame

Jennifer Lopez admits she was partly to blame for the breakdown of all her relationships.

The singer-and-actress - who has been married to male model Ojani Noa and dancer Cris Judd, and had high-profile relationships with P. Diddy and Ben Affleck - believes it is important to realise that nobody is blameless when a romance fails.

Jennifer - who is now married to Latin singer Marc Anthony - said: "I learnt to take a look at myself and not to point the finger, like, 'Well, this person did this to me.' But say, 'What did I do?' The hardest thing in life is to really look at yourself in the mirror and ask, 'What's not so good about me, what can I fix?' It's so much easier to play the victim, I think."

The 38-year-old star realised she had to change in order to make her marriage to Marc work.

She added: "Your responsibility for what you do in a relationship is the most important thing and not always going, 'He could do this better and he could do that better.' Well, what can I do better, you know? I could have taken the time to really ask what was wrong."

Fergie Defends Hellraisers

Fergie has defended young Hollywood hellraisers Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan.

The Black Eyed Peas singer - who battled an addiction to dangerous drug crystal meth in her 20s - understands what the troubled stars are going through.

Speaking at a Conde Nast Fashion Rocks event in New York, she said: "I was young when I went through my stuff. Leave them alone. If they want to get better, they're going to get better on their own."

Fergie believes the constant public scrutiny of 25-year-old Britney and 21-year-old Lindsay's private lives is badly hindering their recovery and is adamant they need space to get better.

She added: "If somebody is going to change, they have to want to do it themselves. I think it is really unfair to them when they are trying to get help. We're all watching and commenting day by day on their rehabilitation. It's not fair. You're supposed to have a sanctuary, a place where you can go and not be pressured every day."
Mother-of-two Britney - who entered rehab earlier this year shortly after shaving all her hair off - had a disastrous comeback performance at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday night (09.09.07), amid reports she is using drugs.

Lindsay has entered rehab for a third time after admitting in a statement she was addicted to alcohol and drugs when she received a one day jail sentence for driving under the influence.

The super-slim singer has been gorging herself on calorific treats, including devouring seven McDonalds meals in the space of just six days, in a bid to pile on the pounds.

Amy has also been eating Caribbean food, including yams, dumplings, bananas and delicious jerk chicken, as part of her quest to gain weight.

A fellow diner at London's Mr Jerk restaurant, where Amy has dined three times in the last week, revealed to Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "Amy came in and was in really good spirits and ordered an extra large portion of brown stew chicken which she polished off in minutes.

"She was looking really healthy and it's clear she's putting on weight again."
Amy's weight is believed to have plummeted to a tiny 91lbs following a turbulent few weeks which saw her overdose on a cocktail of drugs and check in and out of rehab.

Shakira has gone back to school.

The 'Hips Don't Lie' singer attended classes in History of Civilisation at the University of California, Los Angeles, this summer.

A source said: "While everyone else has been at the beach, the MTV Awards and the Emmys, Shakira's been studying History of Western Civilization all summer at UCLA."

Cleve said he had no idea who Shakira was and was stunned to discover she was a world famous singer.

He said: "She told me she was visiting from Colombia and that she was just doing this for her own enlightenment and enjoyment. She looked like just an ordinary student. She wasn't flamboyant, she didn't act like a big celebrity or anything."

Helena Christensen's man-free home

Helena Christensen has never lived with a man.

The Danish supermodel - who has a seven-year-old son, Mingus, with ex-boyfriend Norman Reedus - is much happier living alone than co-habiting with a lover.

She said: "I've never married even though the press always says I was married and divorced. I've never even lived with anyone, including the father of my son."

The 38-year-old beauty admits she can become "pathetic" when she starts dating a new man.

She said: "It's not easy to open up to someone and not worry about being crushed. And, nowadays, with texts and whatever, it's so easy to make mistakes. We all do it. We all become pathetic."

Helena also revealed she likes to test how compatible she is with a prospective boyfriend by getting drunk with them.

She said: "It's always a good thing to get a little tipsy together, because if someone can still be cool when they're a bit drunk, that's a good test. And then when you have to do something mundane and routine and boring, and see how that goes. You know, are we going to be able to change nappies together?"

The 'Hung Up' singer was visited by the head of Malawi's Social Services earlier this month and has now been given the all-clear to formally adopt two-year-old David Banda.

O.J. Simpson Arrested

O.J. Simpson was arrested yesterday (16.09.07) for his alleged involvement in an armed robbery.

The former American footballer has been charged with a string of offences, including two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, during the incident at Las Vegas' Palace Station Casino on Thursday (13.09.07).

He is accused of trying to steal sports memorabilia being sold by a private dealer out of his hotel room, which he claimed belonged to him.

Simpson has been ordered to be held without bail after police officers seized him from his hotel room at the Palms Hotel, also in Las Vegas.

Walter Alexander was also arrested, while four other men are still wanted by police.
Tapes of the alleged confrontation have been obtained by US website TMZ, which show Simpson was the ring leader.

At one point, the 60-year-old can be heard repeatedly saying: "Think you can steal my s**t and sell it?"

Eva Longoria's Underwear Snub

Eva Longoria refused to sign a sexy photo of herself for charity, it has been claimed.

The 'Desperate Housewives' star was asked at a recent charity event to autograph some pictures of her posing in underwear, but refused because she found them unflattering.

A source said: "When Eva saw the pictures she said, 'No I hate those!' But she agreed to sign some more demure photos instead."

Meanwhile, Eva - who married basketball star Tony Parker in July - has confessed she hates kissing other men.

The 32-year-old actress, who plays feisty housewife Gabrielle in hit show 'Desperate Housewives', is required to film a lot of sex scenes for her job, but does not enjoy her on-screen smooches.
She admitted: "I hate the kissing. Kissing is the most intimate thing. It was weird for me before I was married.

"I'm not sure Tony's happy with it, but he's not the crazy husband about it. We don't talk about it because it's just not a comfortable thing to talk about."

Zara Phillips Shows Off Her Fuller Figure As She Prepares To Defend European Title

Equestrian Zara Phillips ditched her jodphurs for a less than flattering outfit as she walked the course of the European Equestrian Championship.

Usually impeccably dressed in a fitted riding costume, Zara looked out of sorts in a white vest and ill-fitting cargo-style shorts which hinted at a fuller figure than usual for the world champion sportswoman.

Dressing down: Zara walks the course of the European Equestrian Championship

Clearly Zara has more important things on her mind than fashion, as next week she begins her defence of the European Eventing Championship she won two years ago, before going on to take the World title last year.

The 25-year-old royal, who is engaged to rugby player boyfriend Mike Tindall, 28, said there was no extra pressure on her, going as the defending champion.

She said: "It's just more exciting".

The granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth will be competing in the Evening dressage on at the Pratoni Del Vivaro in southern Rome.

Zara and her winning horse Toytown have been putting the final touches to their preparation before flying to Rome, at Blenheim, where she won her European gold in 2005.

Last year Zara followed her mother, the Princess Royal, on the roll of honour as BBC Sports Personality of the Year.

Tommy Lee quits Motley Crue following brawl at MTV awards

Tommy Lee has quit his band Motley Crue, the latest episode in a humiliating week.

He was given a public beating at the MTV awards by Kid Rock, another musician - who married Pamela Anderson after she and Lee divorced - for letting Anderson sit on his lap.

Lee had to apologise to singer Alicia Keys for the scuffle, which took place while she was singing. And Kid Rock may face charges following enquiries by the police into the incident.

A Pam in hand: Tommy Lee gets his hands on Pammy

Rock spoke out on a radio programme to explain his side of the story.

Rock, 36, said of the strained relationship between him and Lee: "It's been going on for five years.

He told the radio hosts: "Last contact I had with him was when me and Pam were going through our divorce.

"He picked up her Blackberry and started e-mailing me a lot of horrendous things. It was extremely disrespectful."

"I did what any man would do, any man across the country, across the world would do."

Fired up: the pair both had to be restrained by security

The fight broke out between Pamela Anderson's former husbands at the MTV Video Music Awards earlier this week.

MTV VJ Sway said during the post-show that he saw Kid Rock walk up to the Motley Crue drummer, who was sitting next to Diddy, and "deck him."

Earlier that night the Baywatch star was spotted cosying up to Lee, who is the father of her two sons.

The incident was confirmed by Palms Hotel and Casino public relations representative Larry Fink.

Another eyewitness, rap producer Rich Nice, said although Kid Rock threw the only blows that landed - a backhand slap and a punch - Tommy Lee was the instigator.

Nice said:"It looked like Tommy Lee initiated it because Kid Rock was ignoring him," said Nice, who was two tables away. "And Tommy Lee kind of antagonized him. And then when Tommy Lee stood up, it looked a little weird, like 'Yo, what?"'

Must be kidding: Rock and Lee were involved in a fight at the MTV Video Music Awards

"When Tommy stands up is when Kid hit him the first time with a backhand," Nice continued.

"And then Tommy Lee looked like he was trying to get at him to aggressively retaliate and then Kid Rock hits Tommy Lee again - bong. And then security grabs Tommy Lee in a headlock and pulls him off."

Ex lovers quarrel: Pamela Anderson's former husbands went head to head

It's notable that security guards let Kid Rock stay for the rest of the show while Lee was dragged out.

The incident inspired plenty of mock rebukes from the hip-hoppers in attendance.

"They say it's only rappers," said Sway. "I told you rockers fight too."

Diddy noted: "It's not just the hip-hop artists that sometimes have a problem."
