Think of the children When Angelina Jolie married Brad Pitt, the whole family played a role. Eldest sons Maddox and Pax walked their mum down the aisle; flower girls Zahara and Vivienne threw petals, while Shiloh and Knox were ring bearers. Pax baked the cake and all the children helped decorate Ange’s dress with their artwork. Fast-forward two years and as the couple get set for a shock divorce, it appears their vastly differing parenting styles have driven a wedge between them – with damning accusations volleyed from both camps. No one ever emerges unscathed from a bitter break-up, but you can’t help fearing their children are the real victims of this divorce.…

The bombshell news that Angelina Jolie had filed for divorce from Brad Pitt last week caused shockwaves around the world. And unlike most celebrity break-ups, there was no joint statement or promises of staying friends as their split quickly turned nasty. Brad, 52, took the worst hit as wild rumours surfaced he’d been abusive to his children, was hooked on booze and weed, partied with Russian prostitutes, and had enjoyed an affair with his Allied co-star, Marion Cotillard – something she’s strongly denied. THE FINAL STRAW Meanwhile, 41-year-old Angelina – who reportedly flew into a rage when Selena Gomez, 24, posted a flirty picture with Brad at the Golden Globes in January – was accused of surrounding herself with a “coven” of powerful female pals to help plot Brad’s demise,…

CLOSER’S PSYCHOLOGIST EMMA KENNY SAYS: “Brad and Ange’s divorce seems to be far from amicable, but it may still be possible for them to put a halt to all the mud-slinging and come out of this with their heads held high. Like most divorcing couples, there is initial anger but then you need a crisis mediation before things turn uglier. Brad and Ange need to air their issues with each other – with a third party to keep the peace. In the UK you are made to do this in order to work through the hostility as the only people that really get hurt by all this behaviour are the children. “They’ll be going through a lot of emotional upheaval at the moment as their parents negotiate their…

They put their six-year feud behind them in December, but pals say Jordan and Pete’s truce is hanging by a thread after a row erupted over their children, Junior, 11, and nine-year-old Princess, last week. Despite the youngsters’ accounts recently being removed from Instagram after not meeting the age limit of 13, the ex-glamour model is helping the children launch careers in the public eye and pals say she’s infuriated Pete by letting them use her name not his – claiming “Price” would get more clicks online. Commenting about her plans in an interview last week, Jordan – who is thought to be planning to set up accounts in the children’s names, but manage them herself – said: “Princess Price will be her stage name, not Andre.” Although Pete has…

Until her birthday celebrations last week, Jessica Wright hadn’t been seen with her famous sister-in-law for months – amid reports their relationship had cooled. But Jess tells Closer she’s been in constant contact with Michelle Keegan since her new TV drama, Our Girl , aired earlier this month to rave reviews. Jess, 31, tells us: “I’ve been messaging Michelle – she’s really happy with the response the show has received. And Mark is so proud of her.” The former TOWIE star recently blasted rumours that her brother Mark’s marriage to Michelle is on the rocks, insisting they’re “perfect together.” The size 10 star also lashed out at the body shamers who trolled her online last month. Jess says: “I’ve relaxed for a year, so I have put on weight –…

JACQUELINE: ‘Dan would be better at organising the wedding than me!’ They’ve had more than their fair share of bumps in the road, but Jacqueline Jossa and Dan Osbourne are looking to the future – and planning their wedding is top of the agenda. The couple, who started dating in 2013 before getting engaged in Greece last summer, were forced to postpone their big day earlier this year after they ran out of time to organise everything. It followed a difficult time for the pair, which included allegations from Dan’s ex-girlfriend Megan Tomlin – mother of his son Teddy, three – that they were still sleeping together after he got together with Jacqueline. Megan also claimed that he had threatened her with violence. Now Jacqueline, 23 – who has 19-month-old…

Closer psychologist Emma Kenny says: “In situations like these, there will be a complete sense of helplessness and so many questions left unanswered. People often blame themselves, and may wonder if they’ve done something to drive that person away – but the answer, of course, is not usually. There can be many reasons why someone would leave, from mental health issues to severe stress. The problem is, what can you do? Without resolution, it’s very difficult to cope. It can be difficult for people who’ve lost a partner to think about getting into a new relationship, and they may struggle with feelings of guilt. But it’s important that life goes on and that you do the things that make you happy and give you focus, whether it’s getting back into…

She completely overhauled her body, going from Geordie Shore kebab-lover to fitness queen and dropping an impressive 3st in the process. And just last week Vicky Pattison was announced as the new presenter of spin-off show I’m A Celebrity: Extra Camp, a year after being crowned Queen of the Jungle. But Vicky admits being one of the busiest celebs on the showbiz scene has left her struggling to stay a petite size 6 and she’s endured the wrath of online trolls who still mock her about her weight. “Since leaving the jungle last year it’s been a complete whirlwind,” she explains in her famous Geordie accent. “My feet haven’t touched the ground – let alone the inside of a gym! It’s quite difficult to keep up with what, at times,…

Newly single Cara Delevingne and Amber Heard hit the London Fashion Week party circuit last week for their second night out together in the past month, sparking speculation their friendship could be turning into something more. They were joined by model Clara Paget at London club LouLou’s to attend a star-studded bash – although they avoided being pictured together. The pair have been friends since meeting on the set of their film London Fields in 2013. But they have grown closer, following bisexual 30-year-old Amber’s divorce from Johnny Depp earlier this year, and 24-year-old Cara’s recent split from singer St Vincent. A source says: “Cara and Amber have been growing closer and letting their hair down after their traumatic splits. Mutual pals say they wouldn’t be surprised if a romance…

CHER LLOYD ‘She’s had work done on her nose’ After a two-year hiatus from the showbiz scene, Cher Lloyd recently returned to make her musical comeback. But her looks overshadowed her return, with many fans speculating she’d had surgery to appear more like her former X Factor mentor Cheryl. Three years ago, Cher, 23, said she wasn’t tempted by surgery, saying: “There’s a line in the song [her track I Wish ] where I sing ‘I wish I woke up with a butt and a rack’ and I really, really do. But I won’t go under the knife.” Twitter fans were shocked at Cher’s transformation, with one writing: “Thought Cher Lloyd was Cheryl Cole, was most impressed by her transformation especially her change of accent!” while another posted: “Cher Lloyd…

This month a report by the charity Children with Cancer UK hit the news. There were lots of alarming headlines like Modern Life Is Killing Our Children because its stats showed cancer rates in young people were up 40 per cent since 1998, and among those aged 15 to 24, the figure was 60 per cent. That’s all very frightening, but I want to put it into perspective for you, and explain that there’s a huge amount we can do to protect young people’s health. DON’T BE TRICKED BY STATS New cases of childhood cancer rose from 10 people per 100,000 in 1998 to almost 16 people per 100,000 today. That’s not a huge number – cases are still rare. It’s about how the report used numbers, so if we’d…

POSTMAN PAT: THE MOVIE ONE FOR THE KIDS SUN 2 OCT, NOON, E4 Yes, indeed, a movie version of the Big Man’s adventures, this is Postman Pat’s silver screen debut – voiced by Stephen Mangan and with the cheerful songs sung by Ronan Keating.

AUGUST 2014 After nearly a decade together, the couple marry at their estate in France. Angelina’s dress features her children’s drawings. OCTOBER 2014 They begin filming By The Sea, where they play a couple on the verge of breaking up. There were rumours of rows on set. NOVEMBER 2014 Reports of issues in the marriage surface after they appear to engage in a heated exchange on a hotel balcony in Australia. APRIL 2015 Brad is photographed with a bruise under his eye, amid claims the mark came after a fight with Angelina. NOVEMBER 2015 The couple make their last public appearance for the premiere of By The Sea – which Ange said was “hard to film at times.” JANUARY 2016 Selena Gomez shares a pic with Brad at the Golden…

She’s been dragged back into the love triangle that’s haunted her for the past 11 years, and insiders say Jennifer Aniston is distraught that she’s been caught up in her ex-husband Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s divorce drama. Last week, Twitter was flooded with memes, showing her supposed joy at the couple’s demise. There were even reports that Jen had referred to Angelina as “Groom Raider.” Jen, 47, who married actor Justin Theroux, 45, last year, has never quite managed to escape the label of “the scorned woman” since she divorced Brad in 2005, following his alleged affair with Angelina when they worked together on Mr & Mrs Smith . A source says: “Jen is far from rejoicing at Brad and Ange’s divorce. She’s devastated at being dragged into the…

Speculation has been mounting recently that Cheryl could be expecting her first child with toyboy Liam Payne, and as Closer reported last week, the singer has cancelled a string of personal and work commitments, sending the baby rumour mill into overdrive. LAYING LOW Cheryl hasn’t been seen in public since Simon Cowell’s record label party in July – though her PR company Tweeted a head and shoulders photo of her working on a mystery project last week. And insiders reveal she’s laying low, preferring to stay at home with her family or visiting close pal and former bandmate Kimberley Walsh, 34 – who is six months pregnant with her second child. And sources say the singer, 33, has been really struggling recently without boyfriend Liam, 23 – who has spent…

She’s endured a lengthy battle with her fluctuating weight and, after admitting she’d gained a few pounds, last week Lauren Goodger was snapped looking downcast just days after her landmark 30th birthday. Insiders tell Closer that the reality star – who is returning to TOWIE later this year – has reached an all-time low due to being single and feeling insecure, and is adamant that becoming a mum will ease her problems. PSYCHIC READING In her magazine column last week, Lauren – who admitted she was feeling broody last month in an Instagram post of herself and a friend’s baby – said: “I had a really good psychic reading last week. I don’t want to divulge too much, but one thing she did say was that I’m going to get…

‘I never dreamed he’d walk out and never come back’ The thought of a loved one going missing without a trace is harrowing – but, sadly, for thousands of people it’s a reality they are coping with every day. According to research, someone is reported as missing every two minutes – and 250,000 disappear each year (140,000 of those are children). Girls are more likely to vanish in the under-18 age bracket, but once people reach adulthood it’s more likely to be men. And latest figures have shown a rise of three per cent year on year – though it hasn’t been established why. Fortunately, most of the missing are found safe and well within 48 hours – but around 2,500 remain missing each year, and for their families the…

BEING A ROLE MODEL: “I endeavour every day to be a good role model and also to be myself, so when I do hear people saying I’m a good role model it nearly makes me cry.” FALLING IN LOVE: “I don’t know whether being in the public eye has helped or hindered my love life. Imagine how hard it is for a bloke to come up to me in a bar and talk to me? Everyone thinks I’m some sort of drunken nutcase anyway! I think you shouldn’t look for love, you shouldn’t search for it – you should fall into it so desperately and so unplanned. And that’s what I’m waiting for, I suppose.” ONLINE TROLLS: “They will find something negative to say about anything positive. They can’t be…

They were spotted cosying up to one another last weekend at a London Fashion Week after-party, and now sources tell Closer newly single Georgia May Foote is ready for a relationship with former rugby player – and Kelly Brook’s ex –Thom Evans. Georgia, 25, announced her shock split from Strictly’s Giovanni Pernice last month – after the pair fell for each other while competing on the show last year. Now pals say the former Coronation Street actress is eager to move on with Thom. A source says: “Georgia’s always had a crush on Thom and has told him she’s ready to start dating again.” Insiders reveal the pair swapped numbers at the after-party and have been texting non-stop since. Pals say Thom, 31, is already sweeping Georgia off her feet.…

WHO WORE IT BEST? Eva Longoria vs Alessandra Ambrosio They are two of the most beautiful women in Hollywood, and actress Eva and model Alessandra looked more than all white in this sexy Misha Collection skirt, which features eyelet detailing and a thigh-high split. Both ladies completed the look with white halter tops and red manis – however Alessandra opted for a choker neckline and gold sandals, while Eva went for textured heels and a wider neckline. VERDICT They’ve both added their own flair to this skirt, but Alessandra’s super-flattering halter top and barely there heels make her this week’s winner.

MY MOST EXPENSIVE POSSESSION IS… A Chanel bag, which cost £3,000. MY LAST PURCHASE WAS… A jumper and skirt from Zara. I do love buying clothes! SPENDER OR A SAVER?

Tell us about your TV comeback? I’d been off for so long I’d forgotten how to do anything else apart from get pregnant and moan [Davinia is mum to Gray, nine, Lux, five, Asa, two, and Jude, 10 months]. It’s been fabulous to bring the character back. Had you planned to reprise your role? [Laughs] No! I called my last baby Jude. That’s a bit cringe but I just really liked the name. I thought, “I’m not going back, that character’s dead and buried!” I thought I might have hated being back, but I don’t. What made you want to return to Hollyoaks ? I’d been approached once before but I’d just fallen pregnant. This time around, I’d been preparing a boring lasagne for the boys and…

The character of Ben Mitchell in EastEnders has been played by five (!) different actors. First as a baby in 1996, then as a toddler until 2000 then, after a six-year absence, Charlie Jones was the troubled youth. He was followed by Joshua Pascoe, then finally – in Sep 2014 – Harry Reid joined as the Ben Mitchell we know and love today. Before Albert Square beckoned, he toured the UK performing shows in schools to help deal with underage drinking and bullying. Aww!…

She was pictured looking a little worse for wear as she attended a London Fashion Week party last week – now insiders say Kate Moss’ on/off romance with toyboy Count Nikolai von Bismarck is really starting to take its toll on the supermodel. Kate was first linked to party boy Nikolai in October last year – after splitting from rocker husband Jamie Hince a few months earlier – and insiders say the couple’s future is on the rocks after Kate, 42, kicked the 28-year-old out of her home last week. A source says: “Kate can be a bit of a fool in love and even though she’s kicked Nikolai out a few times over his partying and crazy antics, she always forgives him. Kate’s friends are advising her to leave…

Her troubled marriage to Mark Wright has come under intense scrutiny lately, with multiple reports claiming that Michelle Keegan and the ex-TOWIE star have clashed over his wish to start a family, and the actress wanting to wait. But insiders say Michelle, 29, is on an all-out mission to fix their relationship and has now done a U-turn on their baby plans. BABY PACT Last week, Michelle revealed she was having some downtime after months of filming, saying: “I’m quiet on the work front for a while.” And our source reveals: “After saying that now wasn’t the time, Michelle has made a pact with Mark and told him to give her a 12-month window. She feels this will be enough time to get used to the baby idea. But she…

She’s known for her rock- hard abs and seriously ripped selfies, but fitness fanatic and personal trainer Chloe Madeley shocked her fans last week when she announced that she was relaxing her super-strict diet and training programme. Chloe, 29, admits that it’s hard to stick to such a regimented lifestyle – which sees her hitting the gym twice a day and tracking her nutrition to the last calorie. And after moving in with her boyfriend, rugby player James Haskell, 31, she has decided now is the time to give her body a bit of a break. FINDING A BALANCE Speaking to Closer, Chloe reveals: “Most professionals prep their bodies like that around twice a year, but for the past four years I’ve been doing it every couple of months. After…

Her fame has been fading in recent months, culminating in the axing of her reality show I Am Cait after just two seasons, but now insiders say Caitlyn Jenner has a new X-rated plan to boost her ailing career. Pals close to the transgender one-time Olympian, 66 – formerly known as Bruce Jenner – say she has signed a megabucks deal to pose topless for French Vogue in the hope of reviving her profile. A source says: “Caitlyn went from being one of the most sought-after celebrities in the world following her coming-out shoot with Vanity Fair to seeing her popularity plunge in a matter of months. “Up until now, she’d been keen to protect her modesty and be seen as a beacon of sophistication, but she knows she needs…

She suffered a very public split from on/off boyfriend Lewis Hamilton in February last year – but friends say that after finding love again with toyboy tennis hunk Grigor Dimitrov, Nicole Scherzinger is ready to take their relationship to the next level. The happy couple, who began dating last summer, were spotted ring shopping last week during a romantic getaway in Italy, sparking rumours that an engagement could be imminent. Bulgarian sportsman Grigor, 25, couldn’t keep his hands off the 38-year-old X Fact or judge as she tried on rings in Portofino, Italy, and pals say the former Pussycat Doll couldn’t be happier. While Nicole has remained tight-lipped about the romance, sources close to the pair say that the tennis ace makes her “happy,” while she has previously admitted she…

Escort Zayna Alkhatib has come up with a novel way to make easy money – by going on a sex tour of university cities during Freshers’ Week. Zayna, 26, even offers student discounts and last year earned around £20,000 in just over two weeks – after lowering her price by over 25 per cent, from £130 to £100 an hour. EASY MONEY Now Zayna is hoping to repeat her rich pickings during this year’s Freshers’ Weeks. She says: “I was a student once and I know how hard it can be financially – students get discounts in clothes shops and at certain restaurants, so I thought, ‘Why not offer the same service?’ Students are easy customers; usually their demands are straightforward and I teach them about safe sex. It’s a…

THE MOVES Lisa recently admitted that when she reached 35, she found it difficult to stay in shape and has to push herself harder when it comes to exercise. The TV presenter works out four times a week, either with her personal trainer or at a Tai Chi or yoga class. She adds: “If I can’t get to a class, I’ll do moves at home such as planks, crunches, squats and burpees.” ” THE FOODS The former model is lactose intolerant and has also cut wheat and gluten from her diet. She often starts the day with a smoothie, while lunch is salmon and avocado, and dinner is sea bass with asparagus. The star is also “obsessed” with chocolate rice cakes.

“I used to work as a legal secretary, but I recently resigned because my monthly salary of £930 – plus £220 a week tax credits and £34 child benefit – was wiped out by expensive childcare costs. “I’d like to get back into the same line of work at some point but, right now, I’m trying to figure out how many hours I need to work to live comfortably as a single mum to my twins, Henry and Georgia. I’ll get four weeks of working tax credit at £150 per week, as well as £117 in child tax credits. I also think I’ll receive housing benefit, but I have no idea how it works. “The twins have just started school, so I need to pay £5 per child per morning…

Sharon Osbourne recently opened up about suffering a breakdown last year, and former One Direction singer Zayn Malik has cancelled tour dates due to extreme anxiety. Mental health issues can affect anyone, whatever their lifestyle, and listening to the warning signs is essential. They could be physical, like constant headaches or backache (due to muscle tension) or emotional; feeling empty, a loss of interest in having fun or socialising and a lack of energy. Sound familiar? Take action. INSTIL CONFIDENCE IN KIDS The Children’s Society has found that children are becoming more anxious about their bodies at a younger age, labelling themselves as “fat” or “ugly” as young as three. It’s no surprise children worry about their appearance as there is so much pressure to “look good” in society today.…

Are you looking forward to another series of The Apprentice ? Very much so. You filled Nick Hewer’s shoes as adviser to Lord Sugar last series. Did you enjoy yourself? My problem is, I don’t normally enjoy anything when I’m doing it, but when I look back I think: “That was absolutely great, wasn’t it?” Though I don’t enjoy getting up every day at 4am, it’s horrible. It’s exhausting physically, especially for someone of my advancing years. It’s a shock to my system that takes weeks to recover from. Any Apprentice highlights? When I reflect on it, I enjoyed the series and I felt much more comfortable doing it this time than I did the last series. I think the whole thing was…
