Get an Eiffel of Jennifer and Justin - The Sun

Get an Eiffel of Jennifer and Justin - The Sun

The pair were spotted cosying up under an umbrella as they shopped in Rue St. Honoré on Tuesday, but reappeared last night suited and booted for a meal at the exclusive Jules Verne restaurant, situated on the first floor of the Eiffel Tower.

Looking fresh-faced and showing no signs of jet-lag after their long flight, Jen and Justin held hands as they headed out for an evening of top nosh.

The couple, who have been together since May 2011, looked more loved-up than ever, arousing further suspicion that they may be on the brink of tying the knot.

In April, Jen flew back to her roots in Greece, reportedly to check out potential wedding venues.

She is said to have hinted to staff at the Elounda Beach Hotel about a July wedding.

It seems the former Friends star may even pip ex-husband Brad Pitt — who announced his engagement to Hollywood beauty Angelina Jolie in April — to the matrimonial post.

The 43-year-old actress has had a string of bad luck when it comes to love, but fans and friends are hoping that Jen has found her Mr Right at last in actor Justin, 40.

Essex batsmen strangled by Surrey spin - Romford Recorder 24

FriendsLife Twenty20: Surrey (128-8) beat Essex (111-9) by 17 runs

Surrey came from staring defeat in the face to picking up a comfortable victory Essex lost eight wickets for 44 runs as they collapsed from 44 without loss to 88-8 chasing Surrey’s originally modest 128 off their 20 overs.

The Eagles recovered slightly but finished 17 runs short of their target.

Despite their powerful batting line-up Surrey only hit 15 fours in their innings and Essex only managed eight fours with Tim Phillips hitting the first and only six of the match.

Rory Hamilton-Brown won the toss and elected to bat and the skipper opened up with Steven Davies.

The wicketkeeper moved off the dreaded duck with his third ball and Hamilton-Brown thumped a four from Phillips’ last delivery of the opening over.

David Masters was the other opening bowler and Davies hit him for three fours in the over.

But the stumper was out, stumped by former England keeper James Foster, off the bowling of Phillips.

Graham Napier came into the bowling attack in the fourth over, replacing Masters and the all-rounder removed the captain, caught and bowled, for nine.

Zander de Bruyn came and was walking back the very next ball with his middle stump knocked out of the ground to leave Napier on a hat-trick.

Ryan ten Doeschate struck next, taking the wicket of Spriegel, clean bowled for 13.

Jason Roy was the next man to depart, skying James Franklin to long on where Masters claimed the catch.

Zafir Ansari and Gary Wilson looked to steady the ship, passing the 100 mark but the former edged Phillips behind to leave Surrey 108-6.

Gareth Batty tried to increase the rate but he was clean bowled by Napier to leave the hosts struggling on 115-7 going into the end of the innings.

Murali Karthik and Wilson added 12 but with two balls remaining Bopara clean bowled the latter.

Jade Dernbach came out for the last ball and picked up a single meaning Essex need 129 to win at just under six and a half an over.

Out came Bopara and Mark Pettini to open the innings and the England international hit Dirk Nannes for two fours in his first over, the second of the innings.

The pair put on 44 before Dernbach forced Pettini to edge behind to Davies for 20.

Greg Smith was the new man but he was run out for nine bringing Owais Shah to the crease.

But with the former England man was out for the same score, LBW to Batty.

Ryan ten Doeschate entered the action but he lost Bopara soon after as he was caught by Spriegel off the bowling of Batty.

And the Dutchman departed off the bowling of Spriegel, skying the ball to Roy.

Essex keeper James Foster came and went without scoring, LBW to Ansari, as the collapse continued.

Graham Napier could not stop the slide as he was run out by Jason Roy and Essex had lost seven wickets for 42 runs when they were cruising.

Franklin was the next man to depart two runs later with a leading edge to Hamilton-Brown off the bowling of Gareth Batty.

Phillips finally gave the crowd some entertainment as he launched Spriegel into the crowd to inject life into the Essex innings again that had looked rudderless since Bopara was dismissed.

Dernbach came back on and Masters could not score with the paceman bowling him for three leaving Essex needing 24 off nine balls.

The Eagles needed 22 off the final over to win and 21 to tie with Nannes to bowl the last over.

Phillips hit a single off the first ball leaving Tymal Mills on strike, who edged the second ball doen to third man for a single.

With three balls to go Essex needed three sixes to tie the match and send it into a Super Over.

But the next ball was a dot ball removing any chance of a win as Surrey claimed the spoils.

TOWIE'S Gemma Collins strips down to swimsuit to tell Arg: You ain't ever gonna get this candy - The Sun

The 31-year-old whipped off her bright pink sarong and showed off her curves in a black one-piece as she declared she was "f***ing sexy" and pal James "Arg" Argent could "kiss my a**".

Gemma was seen approaching Arg as he mucked around in the pool after the champagne spray party on last night's TOWIE special The Only Way Is Marbs.

The cast of the hit ITV2 show headed to Marbella, Spain, earlier this month to film the one-off episode.

As Gemma stood in front of the boys, Joey Essex asked: “So are you two getting together or what?”

In the last episode of series five Gemma was seen declaring she "loved" Arg, 24, and giving him a kiss.

But the former car saleswoman has obviously had a change of heart since then.

She blasted: “Well I just want to say something to you (Arg), you’ve been going around discussing what happened between us, let me tell you something now, you don’t ever disrespect a girl again.

“Take a look at this, because you ain't ever gonna get this candy.”

Gemma then undid her sarong, to unveil her swimsuit underneath.

Arg was left looking stunned and confused, before announcing: “I don’t get it Gemma, I don’t understand.”

She then told the chubby crooner: “I don’t like the way you turn around and say, oh she’s got a pretty face but she’s got a bad metabolism."

Before adding: "I am f***ing sexy James. I am sexy and I know it.”

The furious blonde continued: “I don’t even want to go out with you Arg, you disrespect girls. You cheated on Lydia how many times?

“You think I’m pretty, but I’m too fat to go out with you James.

“I might not be a size 10, but I’ve got a good heart."

She then held up a little finger before smacking her bum as she announced: “So take that and kiss that.”

Gemma then flounced off, wiggling her bum from side to side, before shouting back at Arg: “Kiss my a**” as their castmates struggled to contain their giggles.

Showing off her Marbella tan! TOWIE's Sam Faiers continues to promote her book wearing not one but two colourful dresses - Daily Mail

By Kirsty Mccormack

|

Fans of The Only Way Is Essex watched as she sunbathed around the pool last night, but today Sam Faiers was showing off the tan that she'd worked so hard for.

The 21-year-old reality TV star arrived at the ITV studios today wearing a pretty long-sleeved shirt and skirt but left the building wearing a completely different outfit.

Sam was continuing to promote her book Living Life The Essex Way and made an appearance on Loose Women following The Only Way Is Marbs special which was shown last night.

Change of plan: Sam Faiers arrives at the ITV studios today in a printed dress but leaves wearing a hot pink number

As Sam arrived at the studios, she was more than happy to pose for the cameras in the turquoise and white printed shirt and skirt from New Look's Limited Collection, which featured a black collar and waist band.

She teamed the cuffed garment with black cut-out heels and a spiked necklace while wearing her blonde hair in a bun.

However, once inside Sam made sure that she had a quick outfit change and showed off her tan even more in a hot pink sleeveless dress by Hybrid and floral heels.

The Minnie's Boutique owner may have been feeling a little worn out in her first outfit after doing a mini radio tour of Radio 1 and Kiss FM.

After speaking to the Loose Women panel, Sam spent time getting to know singer Paloma Faith, who was also on the ITV1 show, and had her photo taken with her which she later posted on her Twitter page.

On last night's special episode, fans of the show watched as Sam's romance with Joey Essex blossomed as they holidayed with their friends and co-stars.

Someone else who is enjoying a recent romance is Lydia Bright, who spent time with new boyfriend Tom Kilbey in Spain.

She also showed off her tan when she attended an Espirit store launch party on London's Regent Street yesterday.

The blonde star showed off her tiny frame in a black dress which she wore with an electric blue blazer that appeared to be tucked into the dress.

Lydia completed her look with a pair of platform heels and looked rather happy as she left the clothes store with a few shopping bags.

Joining her at the event was Made In Chelsea star Francesca Hull who wore a nude-coloured vest with matching embellished shorts while carrying an over-sized pink clutch bag.

Singer Dionne Bromfield kept her look simple wearing light blue skinny jeans, a white vest and a turquoise blazer while Donna Air showed off her slim figure in black cropped trousers, pointy heels and a netted top.

I like Sam.

I hate Cheska she's so ugly and rude !! Sticking her ugly nose in peoples BUSINESS !!

Neither of the dresses are particularly flattering & for a 21 year old just NOT quite right....only my opinion.

Lydia really is starting to look like a man in drag!

she dresses like a 40 year old, both dresses are for an older women not a 21 year old.... Then again they all look old before their time, not being bitchy just stating the fact they all dress too old and look older than they are.....

Is it a coloring book

London Irish centre Joseph to make full England debut - Reading Evening Post

London Irish centre Jonathan Joseph will make his first start for England in Saturday's second Test against South Africa in Johannesburg.

The 21-year-old helped set up England's only try after coming off the bench in the final minutes of last Saturday's 22-17 defeat in Durban.

And he will now make his full debut as England look to add a cutting edge to their backline.

Joseph comes in for the injured Brad Barritt with Manu Tuilagi shuffling across to inside centre.

England boss Stuart Lancaster said: "I am delighted for JJ. He has trained very well and showed against the Barbarians and in his short time on the field in the first Test that he is ready to make the step to international rugby.

"To have two 21-year-old centres is exciting and we are looking forward to seeing this combination in action."

Prop Alex Corbisiero, Joseph's London Irish team-mate, has recovered from a knee injury and is included among the replacements, while former Reading back-row forward Tom Johnson, who now plays for Exeter Chiefs, retains his place at blindside flanker.

England: 15 Ben Foden (Northampton), 14 Chris Ashton (Northampton), 13 Jonathan Joseph (London Irish), 12 Manusamoa Tuilagi (Leicester), 11 David Strettle (Saracens), 10 Toby Flood (Leicester), 9 Ben Youngs (Leicester); 1 Joe Marler (Harlequins), 2 Dylan Hartley (Northampton), 3 Dan Cole (Leicester), 4 Mouritz Botha (Saracens), 5 Geoff Parling (Leicester), 6 Tom Johnson (Exeter), 7 Chris Robshaw (Harlequins), 8 Ben Morgan (Scarlets).

Occupied territory: Protesters evicted from their squalid camp in Finsbury Square in night-time swoop move to east London park - Daily Mail
  • Evicted Occupy London protesters descended on new camp in east London just hours after being moved on from a seventh month occupation of a square in the capital
  • Anti-capitalist Occupy London protesters had been evicted in a 'peaceful and low-key' during 1am police swoop
  • Around ten tents were pitched this morning on new site and camp appears to be growing in size by the hour

It took a great phalanx of police and bailiffs finally to evict Occupy London protesters who had doggedly clung on to their squalid camp in Findbury Square, north London.

But within hours of that major dawn raid to clear one site - which had been blighted by the around 135 tents for the past seven months - authorities were again caught on the back foot as campaigners simply descended on a new location, little more than a mile away.

Around a dozen protesters - some wearing masks - had pitched tents in Shoreditch Park, east London, by lunchtime today.

Police were on the scene within minutes but appeared powerless to act.

Now residents of the trendy east London square face the prospect of a protracted fight to clear the area of the encampment, which started off with about ten tents but seems to have at least doubled in size by this afternoon.

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: 'We are aware of tents pitched in Shoreditch Park.

'Officers are monitoring the situation but are not present at the scene. An appropriate policing plan is in place.'

Dozens of police officers and private security guards had taken several hours to clear anti-capitalist protesters from their north London camp after launching the swoop at 1am today.

The clear out was organised by Islington Council after a successful court action by the authority to move the group which held London's last remaining Occupy outpost.

The camp was set up on the public land of the square in October, as an extension of the Occupy movement’s protest in St Paul’s Churchyard - which ended in eviction in February.

Today, Metropolitan Police confirmed they were present at the scene which is being cleared by a private security company.

Two weeks ago a judge heard the protest had caused 20,000 damage to the land, cost the council 26,000 on security, and lost it 12,000 in rent plus income from the square’s restaurant which had to close.

There had been an adverse impact on local business and complaints about anti-social behaviour from the camp, which increasingly became a focus for the homeless, and which had no running water or sufficient toilet facilities.

Councillor Paul Convery, Islington Council’s executive member for community safety, said: 'Finsbury Square is public space for the people of Islington, one of Britain’s most deprived boroughs.

'We’re returning the square to community use, and it is being cleaned and will soon be reopened to the public for the summer.

'Today’s enforcement action was peaceful and low-key, and I’d like to thank the police, our street outreach team, and other partner organisations for their help.

'A number of vulnerable and homeless people have been living in the square. We have been speaking to them and offering advice and support to those who need assistance.'

Before protesters were evicted from the neighbouring camp at St. Paul's Cathedral in February, Finsbury Square was used as an overspill.

It later became an 'eco village' where sustainable technologies were showcased.

But there was no sign of that now - the once pleasant park is now a barren, litter-strewn dump.

But Tom McCarthy, a resident at Finsbury Square, insists the camp serves an important purpose.

He wrote on the Occupy Finsbury Square blog: 'This camp makes a political statement about our society.

'Since Occupy opened the camp on 21 October, it has become a home and community for many homeless people, for whom the system has failed.

'In evicting this community, Islington Council – who have helped to re-home some people that have ticked certain boxes – are potentially leaving some people in a much worse position than they are already in.

'We ask Islington Council to not go down the same route at the City of London Corporation – cleansing the City of homeless people is not the way forward. Helping to find real solutions is.'

A few gallons of Jeyes fluid should clean the place up.

I've seen homeless people live in better conditions than that

Send in a few farmers and their tractors and a couple of JCBs and follow with a sheep-dip for the campers

The word Bulldozer springs to mind to evict them from Shoreditch. How much is this costing the tax payer to clear up the rubbish and for the policing. Everyone has a right to protest but not if they are causing a public nuisance and trespass. Still you have to assume that this rabble are all actively seeking employment or doing voluntary work of some description and not merely idling away their time.!

think you need Farmer Dan down there
