Hollywood goes Halloween: It's Paris Hilton in Wonderland

Partygirl Paris Hilton led the Hollywood party pack in the fancy dress stakes as she donned two different similarly saucy outfits for a weekend of Halloween shindigs.


First up was a nautical theme, as Paris stepped out for a pal's fancy dress bash in Hollywood's Bel Air.

Paris in Wonderland: Paris Hilton donned two revealing outfits for a weekend of Halloween partying

Wearing a strapless corseted minidress decorated with anchors, topped off by a sailors hat, Paris showed plenty of her perma-tanned leg.

But it was her second outfit in which she upped the raunch factor as she adopted a demented Alice in Wonderland theme with a white PVC minidress, with layered petticoats, suspenders and stockings.

And the final touch of drama, a pair of bizarre contact lenses.

Cheeky girl: The wannabe actress revealed rather too much from behind in her demented Alice in Wonderland style frock

Paris was letting her hair down after working on a film in Toronto all week and after getting in a row with an adult movie shop which was promoting her infamous home-made sex tape 'One Night in Paris'.

Petulant Paris demanded that the promotional posters were torn down, and threatened to sue the store for all they had. Apparently while wearing another costume - this time a skeleton and mask outfit.


But the ex-jailbird wasn't the only celebrity out on the Halloween prowl. Desperate Housewife Teri Hatcher, looked a right fright dressed as the Queen of Hearts at the Dream Halloween charity bash.

Wearing a face full of clown-like make up, and a tightly corseted ball dress, Hatcher's outfit was a red carpet nightmare. But on this occasion it was fitting.

And actress Jamie-Lee Curtis showed off her still enviable pins while dressed as a not very scary circus ringmaster.

As did Bruce Willis and Demi Moore's daughter Rumer, who dressed as a showgirl.

But the weekend's hot ticket party was actress Kate Hudson's Hollywood bash. Attended by on/off boyfriend Dax Shepard, Mary-Kate Olsen and father Kurt Russell.

Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler looked as if he was wearing his stage-make-up as he joined the stars out on the town for the big party weekend.

Britney gets lippy: The singer unveils her new trout pout

Troubled pop princess Britney Spears has left her fans gobsmacked after lip injections have given her a trout pout.

The fallen pop star forked out to have her lips plumped up last week but ended up with slightly more than she bargained for.

Britney had hoped to keep the beauty treatment a secret, making a hush-hush visit to a plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills last week – and came out concealing her mouth.

Looking swell: Britney and her full lips after visiting a cosmetic surgery clinic

Yet the following day she revealed her new pout to the world when she was snapped in oversized shades.

A LA source said: "Brit hoped her new lips would improve her look without being really obvious to anyone.

"But onlookers literally stood opened mouthed when they saw her. She looked freaky."

Britney keeps a stiff upper lip about her recent beauty treatment.

The new look comes a few days after Miss Spears's lawyers reached an out-of-court settlement in her hit and run case.

The singer, 25, was ordered to pay around £500 after hitting a parked car when driving without a valid California licence.

But the payout did not seem to concern Miss Spears.

Oops! Britney Spears got more than she bargained for when she forked out to plump her lips up

At one point on Friday she was photographed dancing around her LA home in a bikini – perhaps in excitement about Saturday's day out with her sons.

Unfortunately, their quality bonding time was slightly hampered by the presence of the monitor she has been allocated during her acrimonious, and ongoing, child custody dispute with estranged husband Kevin Federline.

Like Leslie Ash Britney's attempt to have fuller luscious lips has resulted in a trout pout

The singer has regained visitation rights of her sons, Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1.

The singer on Saturday was spotted driving with her children in Studio City, Calif, in her white Mercedes convertible, which was decorated with pumpkins on the dashboard.

Hippy shake: She dances at home

A presumed court-appointed monitor was seated in the front seat, with her sons in the rear.

On Wednesday, L.A. Superior Court Commissioner Scott Gordon had temporarily suspended her visitation rights.

A source close to Spears said the judge removed her rights after the pop star was unreachable by a cell phone designated for court-related scheduling.

On Thursday, Kevin Federline's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, said he expected Spears would get visitation reinstated soon because "she has complied with the part of the order [causing the suspension]."

Lawyers for both sides did not respond to calls for comment.

Sharon Osbourne walks out of X Factor live on air

Sharon Osbourne walked out of the hit Talent show X factor last night after two of her three acts faced being sent home.

A spokesperson for the show said tonight: "We've not heard from her, and we don't know if she's going to be back."

The feisty 55-year-old wife of former Black Sabbath star Ozzie Osbourne announced live on air during last night's results show: "I'm out - gone!"

Show host Dermot O'Leary told viewers: "Sharon can't choose between her acts. The final vote will be between three judges, as Sharon has decided to leave."

A mutinous Sharon Osbourne is flanked by the rest of the X factor judges. She walked off last night's show life on air screaming 'I'm out - gone'

Kimberley Southwick, 19, was thrown off the ITV1 programme by the judges after poor viewers votes left her facing eviction, alongside fellow under-25 contestant Alisha Bennett.

Sharon refused to take part in the eviction process, leaving Louis Walsh to send Kimberley home after her performance of It's Raining Men received a mixed response.

Earlier in the show, after Alisha's poor performance Sharon pleaded: "Get rid of me, not her."

Yet contestant Kimberley claimed "We knew it would be us in the bottom two and Sharon knew it too,"

She added that Sharon had been "great", but admitted she felt hurt that she was not more supportive during the live programme.

Swan song: Kimberley Southwick belts out 'It's Raining Men' which failed to impress the judges

"I understand why she's so upset, but you know, I would have liked her to have held my hand a bit longer, and stayed on stage with us," she said.

"I think she just took it as a personal thing that it was me and Alisha in the bottom two."

Kimberley said she was unsure whether Sharon still planned to leave the X Factor, adding: "She did quit on air, but I haven't spoken to her this morning. end

X Factor bosses are now in crisis talks after Shazza told the show's host, Dermot O'Leary: "What I did was no good—and I think I'm going home now, Dermot."

A show insider said: "At this point in time Sharon has said she is no longer a judge on The X Factor. We are hoping she will be able to sleep on her decision and calm down.

"The public rejected two of her acts and she took it as a hammer blow. She also blames herself for picking both girls the wrong songs."

The judges take to the stage. This year's series has been plagued by feuds and controversy

Radio 1 breakfast host Chris Moyles is allegedly being lined up as a replacement should Sharon finally decide to quit.

A source added: "Chris Moyles has made it clear he's on standby if Sharon or Louis Walsh walk out at short notice. Simon Cowell is likely to take him up on that offer."

This year's series of the X factor has been plagued by feuds and controversy. Louis Walsh has been sacked and rehired and rumours have been rife over Sharon's reported jealousy of sexy judge Dannii Minogue.

Meanwhile loser Kimberley will return to work in the pub owned by her parents.

The 19-year-old recently quit a call centre job because she found it 'boring'.

Snooker legend Willie voted off Strictly Come Dancing

Snooker legend Willie Thorne is the latest celebrity to be voted off Strictly Come Dancing.

Thorne and ex-soccer star John Barnes were the bottom two following the public vote. It was then left to the judges to decide which celebrity was axed.

A crest fallen Willie Thorne, pictured with dance partner Erin Boag, is told of the judges decision to vote him out of the show

In Saturday night's show Judge Bruno Tonioli had told Thorne his dancing style resembled "a polar bear in the Sahara".

Head judge Len Goodman, who awarded him six out of ten, said: "Impeccable footwork. I looked at your feet and there were no balls when there should have been heels.

"Your posture, it's all those years of popping the green... it will get better, of course it will."

But on Sunday night's elimination show, all four judges elected for Willie to walk after he failed to impress them in the dance-off with Barnes.

The bottom two: After the public had voted, the judges had to choose who to axe from between John Barnes and Willie Thorne

Thorne and dance partner Erin Boag had danced the tango, while Barnes had elected for the jive.

The competition continues next week when the couples will perform either the American Smooth or the Samba.

Last dance: Its the end of the show for Willie Thorne, but John Barnes gets to dance another week

The night Bea was let down by her gown

Having chosen a glamorous green Marchesa gown studded with crystals, she was no doubt hoping to attract some admiring glances.

Unfortunately for Princess Beatrice, it wasn't the frock that turned heads.

Arriving for a party, she stepped out of her car and her bodice slipped down – revealing rather more decolletage than royal protocol might allow.
Incoming: Beatrice was very nearly let down by her dress

Bea-have: A bleary-eyed Princess Beatrice enjoyed another night out on the tiles this week at Swarovski's Fashion Rocks event

The 19-year-old princess's accidental slip happened after the Fashion Rocks extravaganza at the Royal Albert Hall on Thursday night.

Having left the fashion and rock show, held in aid of the Prince's Trust, she repaired to the after-party at the nearby Baglioni Hotel.

Beatrice, who had shared a box with Dame Shirley Bassey and designers for Marchesa earlier in the evening, was ushered into the venue by her hosts and a bodyguard who tried to ensure that nobody stood on her trailing pale green gown.

Wobbles: Princess Beatrice makes her exit from the Prince's Trust event looking somewhat unsteady on her feet

She appeared rather nervous on arrival but soon relaxed with a drink in her hand.

She chatted to Kelly Osbourne, who was in a gothic-style black dress, about the pitfalls of her delicate outfit.

Alluding to her earlier difficulties, Beatrice remarked: "I love it but I keep on having to lift it off the floor and pull the bodice up."

Swig: Chanel model for the night Lily Allen reverted to type after her Fashion Rocks gig with an unladylike swig from a bottle of alcohol

When the party stared to fill out, Beatrice was whisked into a cordonedoff area where billionaire Topshop boss Philip Green was holding court.

Despite most of her party leaving shortly after midnight, Beatrice stayed beyond 1am to mingle with young guests such as Oscar Humphries, whose father Barry performed at Fashion Rocks.

Mr Green, who had entertained Kate Moss and her boyfriend Jamie Hince in a private box at the show earlier, came to the party without the supermodel but brought along her best friend Davinia Taylor.

Miss Moss stayed away, perhaps having learned that her former boyfriend Pete Doherty had turned up hoping to bump into her there.

She's no lady: Lily was the picture of elegance earlier in the evening - but it didn't take her long to revert to her usual unladylike behaviour

She instead opted for drinks at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel with singer Beth Ditto before going on to the nightclub Paper. She left the club bleary-eyed in the early hours.

Meanwhile at the star-studded event a host of other celebrities partied hard.

Loudmouth Lily Allen had looked demure earlier in Chanel when on the red carpet, but the ladylike veneer soon vanished after a few hours at the after-party.

A worse for wear Lily was seen swigging from a bottle of Jagermeister, a German bitter liqueur, as she left the official Fashion Rocks afterparty at the Baglioni hotel in Kensington at 2am.


Flash: Peaches was ambushed by a surprise flasher

She travelled all of a couple of miles to Punk in Soho, where she carried on partying.

Hardly befitting behaviour for someone wearing Chanel couture - even if it is borrowed. One wonders what Karl Lagerfeld would think?

Earlier the singer, who is dating Chemical Brothers star Ed Simons, was asked the secret to her new slim figure, she answered: "Love".
Titter: The flasher gives Peaches and pal Jamie Winstone something to laugh about

Lily has recently bought a new place in Queen's Park, and has invited Simons to move in with her.

At least she decided to leave the photographers alone on this occasion. The singer received a police caution this week for an alleged attack on a photographer earlier this year.

But for Peaches Geldof, it was less Fashion Rocks and more fashion shocks as she was accosted by a flasher.

As she left Punk Club, a man dressed only in a bathrobe, with the words "the more assured" and a pair of trainers exposed himself to Peaches and her actress friend Jamie Winstone.

After taking a peek, the wannabe DJ, made a fast exit in the back of a black cab with pals.
