Elle Macpherson’s dog has enough cache to launch a fashion campaign of her own.

Bella, the supermodel’s labradoodle, 5, will become the face of designer dog brand Dogside.com in the UK, adorning lamp-posts with a mini billboard.

Bella has already been photographed being walked near Elle’s £7.5million Notting Hill home.

Dogside says Bella is ideal for showing off its leads, coats, scarves and bowls, for “today’s stylish urban dog”.

Flora Page of the website said: “We approached leading models about signing up their pets. Elle is a dog lover and was top of our wish list, so we were thrilled when she phoned up in person to say that she would love Bella to be the face of our brand.”

But Beverley Cuddy, editor of Dogs Today magazine, warned: “When Paris Hilton took her Chihuahua everywhere, there was a rush in sales of handbag dogs. Adopting a celebrity’s hairstyle as they chop and change is fine but acquiring a dog for fashion to mirror a celebrity idol is disastrous. Lots of people chuck these dogs out after a few months.”

Miranda Kerr was left “blinded” when she was accidentally sprayed in the face by perfume on the red carpet.

The Victoria’s Secret beauty appeared at the launch of the lingerie brand’s new Heavenly Enchanted fragrance.

But as she sashayed past Dancing With The Stars personality Melissa Rycroft, Australian-born model Kerr, 26, got a face full of the scent.

One guest said: “Melissa was telling people later she felt really bad. [Miranda] was momentarily blinded.”

Australian rising star Isabel Lucas will become the face of a new ad campaign for the state of Victoria, of which Melbourne is the capital city.

The Hollywood-based Transformers star will front for a new multi-million-dollar campaign showcasing Victoria’s so-called provincial villages.

Lucas is a graduate of the homegrown television soap opera Home And Away. She is shown in the ads promoting the Daylesford natural springs region.

Tourism Minister Tim Holding said the $7.3 million advertising push will emphasise Victoria as Australia’s “premium indulgence and wellbeing destination”.

He said, “If you ever want to see a campaign that captures the essence of what a region is all about, this is a campaign that does that.”

The chief executive of Tourism Victoria, Greg Hywood, said: “This will be spread over three years – we’ll be leveraging other villages off this campaign. It’s basically saying come to Victoria, involve yourself in the village experience.”

The Hills star Audrina Patridge believes her new movie Sorority Row is the new Scream.

Audrina, 25, shot to fame starring in MTV’s reality show The Hills and now has a starring role in new horror movie Sorority Row.

She said: “I was always a big fan of Scream and I feel for younger kids, this will be their Scream. You don’t know who the killer is – it keeps you guessing.”

Audrina admitted it is “weird” that people know so much about her life after appearing on the MTV show The Hills.

She said: “It’s bizarre that strangers know so much about my life. I have people coming up to me and going: ‘I can’t believe so-and-so just left you.’ That’s definitely weird.”

Audrina was the subject of media reports last year when it was found that naked pictures of her had been leaked on to the internet.

She said: “I did those pictures when I was 18. The photographer was a friend of mine at the time. She screwed me over. But I don’t regret it. When I’m an old lady, I’ll be like: ‘This is what I used to look like.’”

Burlesque star Dita Von Teese says she uses a waterproof glue to attach her nipple tassles to her body.

Dita, 36, performs a raunchy burlesque routine in a giant Martini glass that sees her strip off and appear in a tiny g-string and pair of nipple tassles.

Talking about how she attaches the tassles, she told the UK’s more! magazine: “I use serious waterproof glue, because I’m in a Martini glass. Crystals are heavy, and there’s a lot going on.

“I’ve got a shower of water going down from the olive, so I’ve got to have something serious. I can’t afford to lose a nipple tassle during my show.”

Here are the latest red-hot pictures of G.I Joe hunk Channing Tatum working as a stripper.

The Hollywood star used to drive the ladies wild as a hunky nightclub entertainer before hitting the big time.

The star would strip to a skimpy pair of underwear in front of rowdy groups of bachelorette and divorce parties to earn a living.

Now one fan of Tatum’s has told how she got a sexy striptease from the actor at her bachelorette party.

Amy Coleman even claims that after his raunchy striptease Tatum even told her to call off her wedding.

“He was awesome, a really good dancer and a really nice guy,” Amy told the National Enquirer.

Tatum, who stripped under the name Chan Crawford, was just out of high school when he joined ‘The Male Encounter’ group as a teenager in Florida in 1999.

Tatum was paid $50 to dance with a group of male performers before taking the stage on his own and stripping down to his smalls.

The group would then go into the audience and perform individual lap dances, for which Tatum could make another $100 in tips.

Tatum worked Amy’s bachelorette party at the now closed Club Joy in Tampa, Florida.

“He did this Camp Granada skit, where he starts out as a nerd with glasses and a hat, with a notepad on his knees, pretending he’s writing a letter home to his parents and mouthing the words to ‘Hello mudda, Hello fadda’,” said 37-year-old Amy.

“Then the disco music started up and the clothes came off.”

Amy then told her friends she thought Channing was the cutest of the stripes, so her friends called him over to their table.

“When he found out I was getting married, he said, ‘Don’t get married.’

“We hung out and I told him, ‘What are you doing here? You need to be modeling.’

“I told him I was going to see him on billboards some day.

“He was really naïve about it and humble.

“But then he said if he was on a billboard some day, ‘You can look up at me and realize you could have had me right here’ then he held up his little pinkie meaning I could have him wrapped around my finger.

“He was so sweet – or maybe he was trying to get lucky.”

Anna Paquin wants the world to know that she doesn’t wear a bra when she’s having sex and that’s why she is happy to appear nude in onscreen love scenes.

The 27-year-old actress, who plays Sookie Stackhouse in True Blood, says: “Maybe there are a lot of women who keep their bras on while they have sex. I don’t happen to be one of them.

“I don’t think a naked body is particularly shocking or interesting. It’s not the culture I was raised in.

“I was not brought up in the United States. I don’t share the [attitude] that you can have graphic violence but – God forbid – you can’t see someone’s nipples.”

Paquin, who was raised in New Zealand, films many of her love scenes for the TV series with her real-life love, fiancé Stephen Moyer.

“I am happy,” the blonde says of her life.

“I’ve somehow managed to get into a situation where my personal life and my professional life are not at odds.

Like the vampire genre Paquin has become more popular in recent years. She attributes that to the cyclical nature of popular culture.

“It’s hard to explain why certain things hit the pop-culture fascination when they do,” she says.

“It’s like, why does a certain type of clothing come back into fashion? Why, suddenly, is someone wearing something they wouldn’t have been caught dead in six months beforehand?

“How do you explain a trend? You can’t.”

Shutter Island, a hotly anticipated new movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio, will have its release delayed, Paramount said.

The US release of the movie directed by Martin Scorsese will be put back from October 2 until February 19, 2010.

“Our 2009 slate was green-lit in a very different economic climate and as a result we must remain flexible and willing to recalibrate and adapt to a changing environment,” said Paramount Pictures chairman and chief executive officer Brad Grey.

The movie, set in 1954, is the tale of an upcoming US marshal assigned to investigate the disappearance of a patient from Boston’s Shutter Island Ashecliffe Hospital.

“Martin Scorsese is not just one of the world’s most significant filmmakers, but also a personal friend,” Grey said. “Following a highly successful 2009, we have every confidence that Shutter Island is a great anchor to lead off our 2010 slate, and the shift in date is the best decision for the film, the studio and ultimately [Paramount parent] Viacom.”

The father of Kourtney Kardashian’s expected baby is already pitching in for the child’s arrival.

Scott Disick and Kardashian went shopping for clothes and have started studying up on parenting and pregnancy. “Scott and I went to Barney’s and I said to the guy, ‘I need a baby gift,’ and I bought a cute little cashmere hat.

“Then we went to Planet Blue [in LA], and I was like, ‘I need a little cute something cute,’ so we picked up some baby shoes.”

Kourtney was also being showered with gifts from her sisters and mum. She said: “Kim got me like a huge basket filled with stuff. She was so excited. And she and Khloe got me some stuff in Africa when they were there. My mom got me an Hermès blanket that I was dying for!”

Kardashian and Disick, an entrepreneur, are keen students of all things prenatal. “We watch these videos together on some random website I found called healthguru.com. They have videos which tell you what to expect, like the size of the baby at different stages, what the baby is doing inside. They’re cool. Neither of us have read a book, but we’re going to.”

Kardashian also intimated Disick likes to get close to the unborn child. “Every time he leaves me he kisses my stomach and says goodbye to the baby and talks to it. It’s so cute.”

The screen beauty cannot understand why she is a pin-up.

And she says she would rather go out for breakfast than hit the gym.

She said: “I think it’s incredibly funny that people consider me sexy, because most days, I look like a hot mess.

Fantastic Four actress Jessica, 28, revealed: “Last night, my girlfriend and I were like, ‘That’s it! We have to be more disciplined about going to the gym.’

Actress Alicia Silverstone has told how Woody Harrelson inspired her to become a nudist.

The Clueless star said she first got into taking her clothes off while she was tending to her garden.

And she credits former Cheers actor Harrelson, 48, for her decision to strip off.

She said: “[It] probably started when I was doing my garden the first time. I’d be out there, and it would be scorching hot, so I would take off all of my clothes and garden. And then I would jump in the pool and swim – and I always get in the pool naked.”

Silverstone, 32, told a US magazine: “I used to spend a lot of time with Woody Harrelson, and he’s not afraid to get naked.”

Brad Pitt not called in for Sherlock Holmes – studio

Brad Pitt is not reuniting with director Guy Ritchie to make Sherlock Holmes, according to Warner Bros.

Pitt was earlier reported to be arriving in London to take up the role of Moriarty, nemesis to the famous and much-loved British detective.

But Warner Bros., which is making the movie, disputed the claim in a statement to a magazine.

A studio representative said: “The report in today’s London Mirror is completely inaccurate. Brad Pitt is not joining the cast of Sherlock Holmes and we’re extremely pleased with the production of the film.”

The earlier report claimed Ritchie didn’t like the look of the movie, which co-stars Jude Law and Robert Downey Jr, and that he called in Pitt for an 11th-hour rescue.

But the rep said plans for its release will go ahead. “As planned, it will be released on Christmas Day 2009. In order to complete the movie, we’ve scheduled a few days on set to shoot a couple of additional scenes, obtain pick-up shots, and perfect some of the visual effects elements, all of which is standard film-making practice.”

Cindy Crawford has revealed that she has cellulite and she doesn’t care whether ‘bad’ pictures of her wearing a bikini get published.

The 43-year-old supermodel said: “I have cellulite. I admit it.

“But sometimes I just say, ‘Screw it, I am going to wear a bikini.’”

Crawford has been snapped wearing bikinis this summer while holidaying in Italy and France with her husband Rande Gerber and actor George Clooney.

But while the world’s media has mostly celebrated her toned figure, the mum-of-two says she does not care if people spot any flaws.

“I think I look good for my age,” she says. “I am not 25; I am 43.

“That feels like a big pressure, especially when the National Enquirer is dying to get a picture.

“I am so aware that I don’t want to change the way I live because of that kind of attention… You just brace yourself for a bad picture.”

And the 5ft 10in beauty claims that she doesn’t wake up looking like a supermodel.

“I always say even I don’t wake up looking like Cindy Crawford! What people see on magazine covers is one moment that was perfect… the light, the hair, the make-up.

“That’s a two-hour process. People get excited that they’re meeting the Cindy Crawford from the Playboy spread 13 years ago, but I am a mother of two now.”

Eva Longoria Parker is set to expand her business empire with a new restaurant in Las Vegas and a chain of airport eateries.

The Desperate Housewives star is proving her entrepreneurial chops with the success of her restaurant Beso – ‘kiss’ in Spanish – in Hollywood.

Now she is set to open a second venue in Las Vegas – along with a lounge called Eve – and said she is “so excited”.

The 34-year-old said: “Vegas has the most energy in the world. It’s a foodie city, which is great for us because of our menu. Everything we offer is pretty unique. Nobody in Vegas has anything similar.”

But the expansion does not stop there – Longoria is also launching a series of small-scale versions of the restaurant at airports, starting with Los Angeles.

They will be called Besitos, which means ‘little kisses’ in Spanish.

Longoria said she is a hands-on businesswoman and will be traveling regularly to Las Vegas to oversee the new venue.

“I’m a big fan of the art of cuisine. I love to cook and I love to entertain, so I feel like this is just an extension of me,” she said.

She added she considers the restaurant “like my second home. [My husband] Tony would eat there morning, noon and night if it was open! His favourite dishes are the tortilla soup, the chili rub skirt steak and the Vera Cruz corn.”

Except I gave some to my stepdad, who drives needy kids wherever they have to go. “I love my parents and, look, there’s only a couple of legs – family, work, friends – to stand on. “I enjoy what I do, but I have a sensibility about it. I show up, hit my marks, say my words.”Ashton, 31, married Indecent Proposal star Demi, 46, in 2005.

He will next be seen on screen in Spread – in which he plays a gigolo servicing older women.
