Beyonce steps out in wide neck dress for date night She always seems to get tongues wagging when it comes to her fashion sense. And Beyonce hit it out of the park once again on Friday as she stepped out for a date night with husband Jay-Z in New York City. The 36-year-old Crazy in Love singer looked quite chic in her knee-length leather grey frock. The garment featured a wide neck which was actually bordered with a zipper, while the somewhat short hem made sure her fit legs were on full display. Very delicate, transparent PVC heels made it look like the pop princess had opted to forgo any footwear completely. She accessorized with a large cheetah print handbag which she clutched in front of her, and a pair of large, cat eye sunglasses. Her famous caramel tresses were parted neatly in the middle and fell down past her bust, while light pink lipstick was her most noticeable bit of make-up. Husband Jay-Z, 47, apparently decided to keep things pretty casual for the big night o...

Hugh Hefner's son and daughter visit Kimberly Conrad/2017/Hugh Hefner son Marston Hugh Hefner's son Marston and his daughter Christie visited the home of the Playboy mogul's second wife, Kimberly Conrad, just two days after his death.

Christie, 64, who is Hefner's oldest child by his first wife, Mildred Williams, was seen wearing a black sweater, black pants and heeled boots. She was accompanied by two unknown people as she crossed the street. Hefner's two other children, Cooper, 26, and David, 62, were nowhere to be seen. The founder of Playboy passed away on Wednesday at the age of 91 after contracting a bug two weeks prior, according to TMZ.  Heartbreaking footage has emerged of Hefner inside the Playboy Mansion just months before he died, showing him looking extremely frail and using a walker...

Piers Morgan Farewell to the Hef, the King of Sex I first met Hugh Hefner ten years ago in the lascivious bowels of his legendary Playboy Mansion in Los Angeles. He’d invited me to his legendary Midsummer Night’s Dream summer party and I took my then fiancée – now wife – Celia. (A decision my then America’s Got Talent co-judge David Hasselhoff found unfathomable: ‘Man, don’t you know the golden rule? Never take sand to the beach We were greeted by the most eye-popping spectacle: hundreds of mostly semi-naked and completely naked women with various body parts painted, swarming around inside a giant fabulously decadent marquee. Handsome young male barmen served vast bottles of vintage champagne and Jack Daniels and beautiful waitresses proffered huge slabs of fresh lobster and crab. In the centre lay the infamous Grotto, surrounded by a vast artificial lake, where some guests were already frolicking in the cave-infested water. As I soaked in this extraordinary scene, Paris Hil...

EXCLUSIVE Jim Carrey's ex's note years before her / ex-girlfriend In a newly-discovered note that she wrote two years before taking her own life, Jim Carrey's ex-girlfriend blamed the actor for exposing her to a debauched life of sex and drugs and scorned him for 'giving her' herpes. The note was written by Catriona White on April 8, 2013, on her iPad. It is not known if she ever sent it to Carrey before she took her own life on September 28, 2015. She died just short of two weeks after 30th birthday. At the time, she and Carrey had broken up after she told him about testing positive for herpes. He maintains that he never had the disease and that she contracted it before they met. The note was discovered by lawyers working on behalf of her family in a wrongful death lawsuit against Carrey, 55. They say he gave her the pills to kill herself after obtaining them in a false name and allege that he gave her STDs without warning her. On Friday, just as White...

Lion bites Ospreys hooker Scott Baldwin/Ospreys and Wales hooker Scott Baldwin Scott Baldwin is an early contender for the most bizarre injury of the year after being bitten by a lion in Bloemfontein. The Ospreys and Wales hooker was forced to miss his side's 44-25 thumping by the Cheetahs after an incident at Weltevreden Game Lodge. Initially it was unclear why the forward was absent but Osprey's head coach Steve Tandy admitted it was not rugby related. He said: 'There was an incident with a lion, it's nothing to do with the lion in all fairness to it but he did bite Scott. 'When you put your hand into a fence and there's a lion in there, you can expect to get bit. 'He had plenty of warning, so it's pretty stupid on Scott's behalf. He's pretty lucky,' Tandy added. A number of the Ospreys team posted pictures with lion cubs on social media but it seems Baldwin misjudged the big cat.  Fortunately the 29-year-old isn't expected...

How toddler who stole Harry's heart helped war hero father/2017/ Invictus Games 2017 Her cheeky smile put her centre stage at the Invictus Games yesterday when she helped herself to a few handfuls of Prince Harry's popcorn. But little Emily Henson's family will not have been surprised that she stole the Prince's heart - for the two-year-old has already been the inspiration behind her father's incredible journey from tragedy inAfghanistan to Paralympic glory. Emily is the daughter of David Henson, a former Royal Engineer who lost both of his legs in 2011 when he stood on an IED during an attempt to clear a building of mines in Afghanistan so locals could return. As he lay in a military hospital shortly after the blast, the Army took his sperm and froze it, so that he might have children in the future if he wanted. He later said it was not something he gave much thought to at first, but, after marrying his wife Hayley, the couple decided to try for a child th...

The pair were given prime position during the match between the United States and Denmark - the eventual gold medal winners. While Harry is known to be an enthusiastic spectator the royal appeared to be slightly distracted during the match as he and Rose enjoyed a joke.

However, despite his newfound friendship Harry seemed to spare a thought for...

Treasure hunter discovers rare 2,000 year old Roman coins/Roman coins /£200,000 with a metal An amateur historian using a metal detector in a farmer's field has told how he found a once-in-a -lifetime hoard of 2,000-year-old silver Roman coins - worth up to £200,000 ($267,000). Some of the metal disks were minted during the era Roman general Mark Antony was allied with his lover Cleopatra in Egypt and experts said a find of this size and variety is very rare. A single coin can sell for up to £900 ($12,000) so fisherman Mike Smale, 35, was astonished when he uncovered one pristine coin after another dating back to 32BC. The coins will be handed over to the coroner for valuation and then likely sold to a museum, with the profits split between the farmer and Mr Smale. Mr Smale, 35, found the hoard of 600 rare ancient coins in a farmer's field in Bridport while hunting with friends from the Southern Detectorists club. Father-of-one Mr Smale, a fisherman from Plymouth, De...

Barack Obama joins Prince Harry at the Invictus Games/2017 Prince Harry reignited his friendship with former US President Barack Obama today as the pair attended a wheelchair basketball match at the Invictus Games in Toronto together. The 33-year-old royal has met the 56-year-old politician on several occasions previously and struck up a warm friendship with him and wife Michelle. Both men were casually dressed at the Pan Am Centre as they took their seats to watch a fast-paced match between the USA and France, all the while chatting enthusiastically, laughing and joking. Although their arrival was unannounced, the high-profile duo was mobbed by a huge crowd as they walked in and word quickly spread. Obama enjoyed a hugely successful state visit to the UK in 2011, when he and his family stayed with the Queen. And last year he and his wife had dinner with William, Kate and Harry at Kensington Palace, where they met Prince George. Obama has also thrown his support behind Harr...

Prince William backs Imperial War Museum Holocaust exhibit Prince William yesterday visited the Imperial War Museum to discuss the launch of new galleries which will tell the story of the Holocaust in conjunction with the Second World War for the first time. His visit came as the museum, in South London, outlined visionary plans to retell the story of the Holocaust in the context of the war and revisit survivors' tales while also delving into the lives of the Nazi perpetrators. As part of the £33.5million project, the museum will examine common but false preconceptions: the ideas that the Holocaust was contained within Germany, that Nazi commanders were forced to carry out atrocious acts, and the belief that concentration camps were run in a sanitised way. The Duke was welcomed by Viscountess Rothermere, whose husband Viscount Rothermere is chairman of the Imperial War Museum's Foundation board. Lord Rothermere's great grandfather, the first Viscount Rothermere, d...

Prince Harry surprises WWII veteran at the Invictus Games/2017 Prince Harry surprised a 102-year-old World War Two veteran with a personal visit after he publicly thanked the royal for all he had done for service personnel. Sgt James Norman Baker appeared live on a television screen during a wheelchair rugby match at the Invictus Games tonight to pay tribute to Harry for setting up the competition. The 33-year-old prince, who himself served for a decade in the army including two tours of Afghanistan, was so moved that he ran up the stairs of the arena to find Sgt Baker, who was in a wheelchair, and greet him. Sinking to his knees, he held the old man's hand and listened to him as he repeated his gratitude. Sgt Baker said afterwards: 'I wanted to show the athletes my support and enjoy the games. See their spirit. 'They show amazing strength of character as well as body. I think they do a wonderful job. 'It's important because without this, a lot of them w...

How Viagra cost Hugh Hefner his hearing/Hugh Hefner / Crystal Harris / 91 yesterday Erectile dysfunction drug Viagra caused the late Hugh Hefner to lose his hearing in one ear, according to more than one of his lovers. Hefner's widow Crystal Harris said in a 2011 interview that the former editor of Playboy magazine, who passed away yesterday at the age of 91, tried to avoid taking the drug during his old age for that reason. And his ex Karissa Shannon said that even though he used hearing aids, only one of his ears functioned properly. A 2007 study on the effects of Viagra led the FDA to administer a warning to consumers, letting them know that their auditory systems can be damaged as a result of taking the drug. Shannon said that people talking to Hefner had to lean down to his level for him to understand them. Additionally she said that, even if you sat right next to him, he was not able to hear what you were saying. Along with hearing loss, Viagra can cause tinnitus, ...

Hillary Clinton and others wish Julia Louis Dreyfus well In the 20th century, the women of the Hollywood elite created their own ways of keeping the virtue they held most dear: their beauty.

Dhaka man left severely disfigured following tiger attack Hope is on the horizon for a Bangladeshi man left severely disfigured following a vicious tiger attack. Hashmot Ali, 45, lost almost his entire face as a result of the incident - and multiple attempts to reconstruct his face have all failed thus far. The father-of-three has been in 'hiding' for the 23 years since the brutal mauling out of fears he would be judged by cruel strangers. He will now make the eight-hour journey to the country's capital, Dhaka, to speak to reconstruction specialists in hope of having his face fixed.

Obama, Bush, Clinton give Presidents Cup executive buzz Former presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton were all smiles as they attended the Presidents Cup in New Jersey. The trio posed for photos with players and wives on each team during the opening ceremony on Thursday. Obama was sporting a pair of dark shades as he flashed his signature smile and shook hands with some of the players. Each former president also wore their Presidents Cup polos to the event. It was the first time three US presidents have attended the matches at the same time since this event began in 1994, named after the highest office in the land. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump, who equally loves golf, had his hands busy with the 70th anniversary of the National Security Council, which took place in Washington, DC. The 12th Presidents Cup between the US and an International team began in raucous but light-hearted fashion in front of the past three presidents at Liberty National. A pac...

Prince Harry makes surprise appearance at charity event Prince Harry gave a barn-storming speech today in which he implored young people to 'look up from your phones' and stand up for what they believe in. The royal was the surprise guest at Toronto's WE Day event, part of a global day of celebration to bring young people together and make change through social good. More than 5,000 schoolchildren were in the city's Air Canada Centre and gave Harry a tumultuous - almost evangelical - welcome when he appeared on stage. The prince said there was too much cynicism and apathy in the world and called for young people put aside their fears and make their voice heard. He said: 'In today’s world too many people feel cynical and apathetic. 'I get that the challenges we face sometimes seem complex and even scary, especially when we don’t know who to turn to for answers. 'I know that while this generation of young people wants to make our world a better pla...

Coroner's report contradicts Otto Warmbier torture claims A coroner's report on the death of Otto Warmbier conflicts with some claims made by his grieving parents, who say he was tortured during the 15 months he was detained by the North Korean government. In an interview on Fox & Friends on Tuesday, Fred Warmbier said that when his son was released and returned to the U.S. in a medically-induced coma in June, it 'looked like someone had taken a pair of pliers and rearranged' his bottom teeth. But the Hamilton County Coroner's report, obtained by the Cincinnati Enquirer on Tuesday, found Otto's teeth were in 'natural and in good repair' when he died six days after returning to the U.S. The coroner found a collection of 10 scars on Otto's 'well-developed, well-nourished' body, but nothing serious enough to indicate he was tortured. At least half of them were faded, indicating that they were older.  The newer scars could have been...

More than 120,000 people flee volcano in Bali A massive evacuation is under way on the Indonesian island of Bali as more than 120,000 flee a smoking volcano which appears on the brink of erupting. Scientists say a dramatic increase in the number of tremors indicates a potentially catastrophic eruption of Mount Agung is 'imminent'. Evacuees have been relocated across the resort island, taking shelter in temporary camps, sports centres and other public buildings. An exclusion zone around the mountain extends as far as 7.5 miles from the crater but people further from the volcano are also leaving in fear for their lives. 'I would definitely be following the advice to stay outside the exclusion zone,' said Heather Handley, an assistant earth sciences professor at Sydney's Macquarie University. The increase in tremors suggests an eruption is 'imminent,' she added. Mount Agung, 47 miles from the resort hub of Kuta, has been shaking since August and threa...
