Inhoudsopgave van Issue 650 - Closer

We’ve all seen the pictures of celebs who’ve snapped back into shape straight after having a baby and good luck to them. But here at Closer we think our shoot with former Emmerdale actress Adele Silva is one of the most beautiful we’ve done. After three miscarriages Adele feared she’d never become a mum and she’s utterly besotted with 10-week-old daughter Sienna. She told us: “It’s amazing what my body has been through, so I’m not going to put pressure on myself. Losing weight is the least of my worries.” Quite right. She looks truly stunning because she looks truly happy.

She was seen drenching Britain’s Got More Talent presenter Stephen Mulhern in water after he compared her to plastic surgery addict Jocelyn “Cat Woman” Wildenstein last week. But insiders say despite trying to laugh off the incident, Amanda Holden went into meltdown backstage – telling pals she hates all the surgery speculation about her remarkably youthful looks. An insider says: “Amanda tried to laugh off the comparison, but she found it deeply offensive and was upset after filming. She always wants to look her best and is adamant that she hasn’t been having invasive surgery.” The 44-year-old star insisted last December she’d turned her back on Botox two years ago and had been using non-invasive Collagen Wave facials – which cost around £250 a session and use radio frequency to…

After showing off her amazing size 10 figure in her latest campaign for Atkins, Kelly Brook has told pals that new boyfriend Jeremy Parisi has been showering her with compliments. Kelly, 35 – who’s fluctuated between a size 8 and a 12 over the years – has lost 8lbs and three inches from her waist in four months by cutting out starchy carbs and sticking to high-intensity interval training. And sources say ju-jutsu trainer Jeremy, 30, can’t get enough of her body. A pal says: “Kelly’s the most body confident she’s been in months. She said she loved flaunting her figure on the Atkins shoot and that all the hard work has been worth it. There are certain areas she still wants to tone, but Jeremy adores her body and…

She’s made no secret of her fertility battle, admitting she’s “frustrated and exhausted” with trying to conceive a sibling for her 23-month-old daughter North. But pals say Kim Kardashian’s so desperate for another child she’s considering backtracking on her refusal to use a surrogate. In a recent episode of The Kardashians – which aired in the US and was filmed three months ago – Kim’s seen crying while looking at an ultrasound after months of IVF treatment. A source says: “IVF is taking its toll on Kim. She thinks the hormones are making her fat and moody, and it’s putting pressure on her relationship with Kanye – it’s all they talk about. She’s reached the end of her tether, and has done a U-turn, saying she would think about using…

Last week, bizarre posters of Victoria and David Beckham appeared on the streets close to their London home, bearing the caption “famous for nine million minutes.” Now insiders reveal that Posh, 41, is worried someone is out to harm her family and has hired a private investigator to get to the bottom of it. A source says: “Victoria and David don’t know who’s been putting up the posters or why, but they’re concerned as they’ve appeared near where they live. They asked their staff to remove them and are worried a stalker may be targeting them.” Pals say the incident is opening old wounds – in 2002, Posh believed she, Brooklyn and Romeo were the target of a kidnapping plot. The source adds: “Posh is anxious but she’s putting all…

Their marriage has been reportedly rocky over the past six months – but insiders say Brad Pitt is planning to use his wife Angelina Jolie’s upcoming 40th birthday to help strengthen their romance. A source says: “Ange and Brad have had a difficult few months, but they’re committed to working through their issues. They’ve both realised they need to devote more time to each other and are planning romantic weekends away. “Brad has planned a string of surprises for Ange’s big birthday on 4 June, including a trip to a private island, which he’s hired out just for them. He’s even bought an antique emerald ring, which he’s engraved with the date they first met.” The pair sparked speculation their marriage was under strain when they appeared to have a…

Last week Annegret Raunigk sparked controversy when it emerged that she’d given birth to quadruplets – one girl and three boys – aged 65. The babies, who were conceived through IVF using donated embryos, were born at 26 weeks and are in intensive care. Incredibly Annegret, a language teacher from Berlin, already has 13 children aged between 10 and 44, from five fathers. Despite criticism, the single mum said: “I think one needs to decide for oneself and not listen too much to the opinions of others.” We ask two older mums if Annegret’s right to have a child later in life… YES: ‘A baby at 53 brought me joy’ Debbie Hughes, 57, from Daventry, says: “While having four more children at 65 is extreme, I don’t judge Annegret. If…

Chris, how did the TFI reunion come about? C4 asked us to do a 20-year anniversary show. I was bang up for it until I did the maths and had to say: “It’s only 19 years...” I think they’re just hoping no one notices. What made you want to bring it back? I never got to say goodbye, as I left when there were 10 shows to go. Let’s call it closure. What can we expect from this new show? Tune in to find out! Blur will be on… Who were your most memorable guests first time round? Jarvis Cocker was the best – we had him on two days after he was arrested at the Brits for mooning Michael Jackson. Courteney Cox was high maintenance: she arrived with a…

ASK US ... If you’ve ever wanted to ask us a question here’s your chance! Q WHAT’S THE STRANGEST THING THAT’S EVER HAPPENED TO YOU DURING A CELEBRITY INTERVIEW? Olivia, via email A Senior showbiz writer Katherine Romero says: “When I interviewed Geordie Shore’s Charlotte Crosby I was shown into her hotel room and asked to do the interview while the star sat on the bed. Midway through, Charlotte lay down and closed her eyes. I wasn’t sure if she actually nodded off, but it must have been a pretty boring interview!” YOU DEBATE! HOW OLD IS TOO OLD TO BREASTFEED? Mum-of-three Maha Al Musa admitted last week that she still breastfeeds her six-year-old daughter, Aminah, because she believes in the “power” of breast milk. The…

10am I try to get a good sleep on holiday – my aim is to come home again without any bags under my eyes. I get up and go straight for a hotel breakfast – something hearty, like pancakes with fruit, and a smoothie. 10.45am I’ll my keep my outfit simple with denim shorts, baggy T-shirts and flip-flops – I always take a plain pair of Havaianas. I always pack last minute, forget underwear or pyjamas, then buy them from the airport! 11am When I’m in the sun, I don’t worry about make-up. I stick to Witch moisturiser and maybe a Dr Jart BB cream as it’s tinted and contains SPF. Sun cream is a must and I take a Hawaiian Tropic one – it smells great. 11.15am I’ll hit…

Kimberley Walsh New mum Kimberley, 33, has a healthy approach to food and fitness THE MOVES Kimberley, who’s mum to Bobby, nine months, bucked the celeb trend of pinging back into shape after having a baby, instead choosing to shed pounds at a sensible rate. Talking about the rumours she lost 2st six weeks after Bobby’s birth, she says: “It’s strange that anyone would think I have time for fitness yet or that I’d even be thinking about it.” Kimberley lost her baby weight gradually, thanks to lots of walking and working out in her home gym, once she felt ready. She described her hour-long workouts as “a treat after looking after a baby.” THE FOODS The star, who is a size 10-12, follows a low-carb, protein-rich diet, enjoying omelettes…

Where do you shop? Mainly at Waitrose – their organic range is fab. Once a week, I’ll nip to health food chain Whole Foods to stock up on supplements and super foods, although it’s quite pricey. I spend £100-£150 on a weekly shop. What is your daily diet? First thing, I have a hot water with lemon, apple cider vinegar and a slice of ginger before making a smoothie with chia seeds, berries and leafy veg. I’ll usually have a small bowl of oats too, to keep me full. For lunch, I’ll make brown rice with prawns and chopped coriander, then dinner is usually salmon with stir-fried veg. I snack on energy bars, oatcakes and lots of raw veg. What won’t you eat? I don’t go near anything that’s labelled…

Second best is better than fantasy first! No one is ever truly happy to settle for second best. If you’ve got your heart set on a Prada handbag, coming home with a Primark copy won’t have you jumping for joy. And it seems women feel the same about men. In a recent study, women who were turned down by an attractive guy went on to be cruel to less attractive men and reject their advances – apparently to retain their sense of self-worth. Let’s be honest, lots of men do the same thing! When we’re young, we’re often told to reach for the stars, that nothing is impossible, and that we should strive to achieve whatever we want. However, if we go through life with a fixed idea of who…

Q My long-term partner of 12 years has recently told me he doesn’t like the way I give head. I listened to his reasons and took them on board, but I feel ridiculously hurt and angry and wonder why he didn’t say something sooner. Name withheld, by email A I suspect he just missed the moment. The right time to be honest about what we like and don’t like sexually is at the start, but very few people speak up then because they’re worried they’ll put the person off. Or perhaps your technique worked for him before and doesn’t now? Our bodies and needs change as we age (men tend to want firmer, stronger sensations and women gentler). The fact you are so upset by his comment could be…

LOVE ISLAND BACK, WITH A BIT OF FLACK Caroline Flack is about to enjoy some fun in the sun hosting the revamped (and fabulous) ITV reality show Love Island, but reckons she is pretty hopeless at matchmaking herself. She tells us: “Sometimes I get it really wrong. I dated a guy once but remember thinking, ‘He’s not my type.’ Instead I thought my friend would like him – so I let her go on a date with him and she was so insulted afterwards!” Caroline has no plans to parade about in swimwear on the Mallorca-set show (sorry, menfolk), instead adding: “My wardrobe is going to be beachy and fun, rather than night-time glamorous – but not a bikini!” The original Love Island went out in 2005-2006 and had celebs…

They looked incredible as they soaked up the sunshine in Spain last week with their boyfriends. And insiders say sisters Sam and Billie Faiers have now made a secret pact to try to become pregnant at the same time – telling pals they can’t wait to be mums together. Billie, 25. welcomed her daughter Nelly last July with fiancé Greg Shepherd – who she is set to wed next summer. Meanwhile, Sam, 24, opened up about her plans to start a family with boyfriend-of-six-months Paul Day last month, saying: “I’d love marriage and kids with him in my future.” A source reveals: “This was the first holiday Sam and Billie have had as a foursome with their boyfriends Greg and Paul. They were telling friends they’ve never been happier or…

She appeared to send out a loaded public message to her ex-fiancé Mark Wright on the eve of his lavish wedding to Michelle Keegan on 24 May – but pals have told Lauren Goodger it’s time to bury the past with her ex-fiancé and finally move on. Just two days before the star-studded wedding, Lauren, 28, posted a pointed message on Instagram, which read: “She’s the kind of girl a guy meets when he’s too young and f***s up because there’s too much living to do. But later he realises she’s perfect.” And reports even surfaced that Lauren – who was engaged to Mark and dated him on/off for over a decade until their split in 2011 – was planning to gatecrash the lavish Suffolk ceremony, with his family asking…

Last week, Jeffrey Spector, 54, made the heartbreaking decision to end his life after doctors informed him he had an inoperable tumour on his spine that would leave him paralysed from the neck down. Fearing that he could become a burden to his family, the father-of-three chose to kill himself at the notorious assisted-suicide clinic Dignitas in Switzerland. A haunting image showed him having dinner for the last time, before taking his life the following day by administering a fatal dose of a lethal drug. Jeffrey enjoyed a final meal in a restaurant with his family and close friends, including his wife Elaine, 53, and their daughters Keleigh, 21, Courtney, 19, and Camryn, 15 – who backed his decision and posed for a photo to mark the poignant occasion. Sixteen…

After years of fiery rows and drunken spats on Geordie Shore, Vicky Pattison insisted to Closer in March that she’d managed to curb her rages with exercise. But last month, the reality star – who was sentenced to 180 hours’ unpaid community service after being found guilty of attacking a girl in a bar in 2013 – hit the headlines after she was reportedly hospitalised following a boozy nightclub brawl in Marbella. And speaking to Closer, Vicky insists while she’s embarrassed by her antics, she was shocked by the uproar. She says: “I know I have young fans but I never claimed to be a role model and I don’t want to be one. I’m a young girl who goes out, gets drunk and makes mistakes. I’m only human. It…

As Adele Silva cuddles up to newborn daughter Sienna Evie on Closer’s photo shoot, it’s clear to see that she’s completely besotted with her smiley bundle of joy. And while some celebs are triumphantly back in skinny jeans within days of giving birth, Adele – who only gave birth to Sienna 10 weeks ago – is keen to show off her “real post-baby body,” and tells us she’s in no rush to get back into her size 8 jeans. After suffering three heartbreaking miscarriages prior to this pregnancy, the ex-Emmerdalestar has taken to motherhood like a natural, and admits that losing her baby weight is the last thing she’s worrying about. She says: “I never thought I’d have a child, so to finally have Sienna here is the most special…

He became a household name after making a series of successful reality shows, but celebrity dad Peter Andre admits he often worries about his children Junior and Princess searching for him on the internet – and insists on super-strict parental controls to restrict their online access. Pete, who has nine-year-old son Junior and seven-year-old daughter Princess with ex-wife Katie Price, and nine-month-old daughter Amelia with his fiancée Emily MacDonagh, says: “It’s terrifying for me to have my children surfing the internet. They can type something innocent but it may lead to inappropriate things popping up. I also don’t like the idea of them Googling me! “They’re allowed to watch children’s TV and use the internet for homework, but that’s it. I have a password to the wi-fi that only I…

One’s a reality star who found fame when a sex tape went viral – the other’s a critically acclaimed singer. But while Kim Kardashian and Beyoncé may have taken different routes to stardom, it seems their wardrobes are going in a similar direction. The pair have endured a seemingly frosty relationship ever since reports surfaced in 2012 claiming they hardly spoke while their husbands Kanye West and Jay-Z were on tour together. The Carters then failed to attend Kim and Kanye’s wedding last year. But in an unlikely twist, we can’t help but notice how Bey has gradually been following Kim’s style lead. Even Kanye recently claimed the singer was inspired by his wife, saying: “When Beyoncé was working on her album she had pictures of Kim on the wall…

1 Happy Mondays singer Shaun Ryder turned the air blue with F-bombs when he appeared on the 6pm show. TFI Friday went on to be filmed with a time delay! 2 The “Freak Or Unique” segment featured a lineup of various oddballs showcasing their unusual looks or talent, such as this lovely lady with a bikini made from actual piercings. 3 Geri Halliwell once had an arm-wrestling contest with Kylie Minogue, before they inexplicably leaned in for a snog. Chris obviously liked it – he and Geri went on to briefly date. 4 A regular segment named “Ugly Bloke” featured a guy who, despite being a tad challenged in the looks department, had the chance to turn down a gorgeous girl who asked him out. 5 Yes, it’s childish, but…

Her husband of nearly three years, Chris O’Dowd, may be a successful Hollywood star who’s appeared in films Bridesmaids and St. Vincent, but TV presenter and fashionista Dawn O’Porter insists the pair – who welcomed son Art in January – still share the role of breadwinner. She says: “Everything is split equally in our relationship – there’s no breadwinner. We are both as hard working as each other and it’s a 50/50 split. Our son Art has taken my surname O’Porter, which is a mash-up of Chris’ surname and mine. I think it’s prehistoric for our son to just have his father’s surname and not have a little of me in there.” And despite 35-year-old Chris’ A-list status, Dawn jokes that she doesn’t see his career in movies going the…

Apply the pearly white powder to the inner corners of your eyes to make them look brighter, and over the tops of cheekbones for extra sheen.

HOW TO… Shake working mum guilt Mum-of-four Victoria Beckham has admitted she finds it hard to juggle her fashion career with her family. While she’s hardly your average working mum, every parent knows how tough it can be to leave your kids while you go to the office. Not everyone wants to be (or can afford to be) a stay-at-home mum, but how can you shake the guilt of working? LIFE LESSONS Remind yourself that you’re going to work to ensure your children can have the best life possible. Not only that, your kids are likely to be working parents, so watching you work hard is a great lesson. Teaching children to have a strong work ethic and be independent can only be a good thing. CHANGE PERSPECTIVE When you…

Jumping to conclusions alert! Have you ever thought he might just prefer to keep his phone in his pocket so he doesn’t lose it, or so he’s always ready to take a call or answer a text? Most phones now have a lock code, so even if he left it lying around, you couldn’t look at it anyway. And then there’s the big question: Would you take a sneaky look if you could? If the answer to that is yes, you really need to think hard about why you don’t trust him – and why you haven’t already ended it.…

Why do I get pain during sex? Q I get pain during sex, mainly on deep penetration. I’ve had STI tests done and all were fine, though I was told my cervix looked inflamed. What could it be? Georgia, by email A The pain could be caused by the constant pressure on the ovaries that occurs during sex – rather like male testicles, ovaries can be sensitive too. Other possibilities include endometriosis, and even irritable bowel syndrome. An inflamed cervix on its own with negative STI tests is not necessarily anything to worry about, as long as you’ve had a normal smear test result recently, but I would ask your GP to refer you to a gynaecologist. What’s wrong with my tum? Q I had bad food poisoning a few…

Maeve Hallmark, 35, is a bingo hall manager from Manchester In my 20s, I was always going out, bought designer labels and saddled myself with a mortgage I could barely afford to pay. By 2003, I had six credit cards with a total of £11k on them. I kept it up for a while, but after missing a few payments, a demand for £1,500 landed on my doormat last October. I’d kept my debt secret – even from my boyfriend Vincent, who’s an artist. Coming clean was hard, but my parents paid off £1k, and now I’m trying to cover the rest, which I’ve had consolidated. Now I try to be more realistic about money. I don’t go out every Saturday, however I did book a holiday with friends as…

What’s in store for the new series of Most Haunted ? Lots of new locations – including a funeral parlour in Hull, which was very scary, and we’ve recorded some fantastic phenomena. We’ve also got new members of the team and new equipment that can convert soundwaves made by spirits into something humans can actually hear. How does that work? We used to use something called a “Spirit Box.” But our EVP [Electric Voice Phenomena] specialist, Eamonn Vann-Harris, said it wasn’t accurate because you think you’re getting a John or a Bob, but it could be a Radio Stoke DJ! With the new system you’ll get an answer: “Can you hear me? Yes...” Yikes. Do we get to hear anything? In the funeral parlour episode, Fred…

Both Billie and Sam boast enviable bodies and the girls work hard to maintain their slender figures. Sam admitted in her recent autobiography that she took her weight loss mission to the extreme after her split from Joey Essex in late 2013, saying: “I became obsessed with working out.” But after being diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease Crohn’s in February last year and dropping to a size 4 and 6st, Sam adopted a healthier lifestyle to get back to just under 9st and a healthy size 8. Speaking to Closer recently, the 5ft 5 star said: “Working out makes me feel great, but I keep a healthy balance. I like resistance training exercises, like squats and lunges. I’m conscious of my arms so I’m always trying to tone them up…

She’d insisted she loved her smaller bust after removing her implants in February and returning to her natural 32B size. But after speculation that surgery addict Jordan – real name Katie Price – had secretly undergone an eighth boob job recently, the star raised eyebrows last week when she flaunted a dramatically boosted cleavage on the red carpet – as well as an alarmingly tight, wrinkle-free complexion. And insiders reveal no one has been more shocked by the star’s dramatic U-turn and new look than her toyboy husband Kieran Hayler, 27. A source reveals: “Katie’s friends wondered if she’d had a boob job a few weeks ago, but she’d been keeping covered up. Now she’s been proudly showing off her bust and saying she’s never been a fan of the…

She’s only been dating new boyfriend Tom Jimson for a few months, but insiders say Danielle Lloyd has told pals she’s already calling herself his “wifey” and says the pair are eager to wed by the end of the year. Danielle endured heartache last August when she split from footballer husband Jamie O’Hara – father of Archie, four, Harry, three, and 21-month-old George – amid claims he’d been repeatedly unfaithful. She was then said to have fallen for club owner George Panayiotou during their six-week romance late last year. Now pals fear the 31-year-old – who threw property developer Tom a surprise birthday party near his Dubai home last weekend – is rushing into her new romance. A source says: “Danielle organised a big party for Tom’s birthday and spoiled…

When it comes to the Kardashians’ love lives, there’s little they hold back – and the family’s matriarch, Kris Jenner, is no exception. Insiders reveal momager Kris, 59, has enlisted the expertise of a sex guru to help spice up her romance with her 34-year-old toyboy, Corey Gamble. A source says: “Kris wants to keep Corey on his toes. She’s turned to Dr Ava Cadell, who’s been described as ‘the world’s leading sexologist.’ Kris wants to be a sex goddess and has even signed herself and Corey up for a couples’ course.” On an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians – aired in March, Kim revealed her mother didn’t hold back in the bedroom saying: “The bed bangs up against the wall. I swear I heard moaning!” And insiders…

Dubbed Strictly Come Dancing’s “Siberian Siren,” Kristina Rihanoff has repeatedly hit the headlines for her relationships. She’s furiously denied a romance with her 2013 dance partner Ben Cohen – who split from his wife after appearing on the show – but the ex-rugby player was last week spotted leaving her flat early in the morning after the pair were snapped at a charity event. And this isn’t the first time Kristina’s love life has caused controversy – in 2008 she had a fling with fellow dance pro Vincent Simone when his fiancée was pregnant, then in 2009 she started dating boxer Joe Calzaghe, just after he split from his long-term girlfriend. So is Kristina unfairly vilified, or is she really the man-eater she’s often portrayed as? YES ‘Kristina is like…

They’re regarded as one of Hollywood’s golden couples, but last week, Jennifer Garner and husband Ben Affleck were hit by claims that their marriage is on the rocks and that they’ve secretly separated. Insiders claim the pair – who wed in 2005 and are parents to Violet, nine, Seraphina, six, and Samuel, three – have become increasingly distant as they row over Ben’s constant partying and gambling. Last year, Ben, 42, even admitted he had been banned from playing blackjack at a Vegas casino, saying: “I took some time to learn the game and became a decent blackjack player. And once I became decent, the casinos asked me not to play blackjack. I mean, the fact that being good at the game is against the rules at the casinos should…

HOW OLD WERE YOU WHEN YOU FIRST FELL IN LOVE? I was just six years old – she was a little angel called Miranda. WHAT’S THE WORST LIE YOU’VE EVER TOLD? I’ve told people I don’t snore, but apparently I do – and quite loudly. I still don’t really believe it, though. AND WHAT IS YOUR WORST HABIT? I eat really quickly, which isn’t great when you’re eating with other people, as I’ll have finished my starter and want my main before anyone else wants theirs . WHAT’S THE WEIRDEST THING THAT’S EVER BEEN THROWN AT YOU ON STAGE? Toilet roll. I think they were trying to make the joke of Andrex being like Andre.…

WHO WORE IT BEST? ASHLEY JAMES V DAWN O'PORTER This electric blue voluminous frock (£780) from Dawn O'Porter's vintage-style range BOB isn't an easy shape to pull off, but both ladies look fab! Despite being one of Dawn's designs, Made In Chelsea star Ashley wore the ’70s-style number first, teaming the dress with an oversized printed bag and necklace. A week later, Dawn followed suit, but accessorised with just a metallic clutch. VERDICT Less is often more and for that reason designer Dawn takes the style crown. STYLE CRUSH! TIERED PERFECTION! Sienna Miller, 33 Never one to disappoint on the red carpet, the actress and mum-of-one caused a wave of wows in this custom-made dusky pink Gucci number. The romantic ruffles, statement neck and bold accessories made her stand out…

As Rachelle Friedman Chapman cradles her baby girl, Kaylee, she still can’t believe she’s a mum. Rachelle was partying with friends on her hen do in 2010 when one of them accidently pushed her into the shallow end of a pool, breaking her neck and leaving her paralysed from the chest down. Rachelle, 29, was devastated to learn she’d never walk again and even more heartbroken when she was told she wouldn’t be able to carry a child. Thankfully, an old university friend offered to be a surrogate and she’s now mum to Kaylee, who was born last month.

ANNA KARENINA KEIRA AFFAIR SCANDAL Sat 6 June, 9pm, C4 Keira Knightley stars in this powerful love story, directed by Joe Wright – the man behind box-office hits Pride & Prejudice and Atonement. Keira stars as Anna, who’s married to a government minister (Jude Law) but has an affair with a dashing officer, a definite no-no in 19th century Russia.
