By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Gravity Tour: Kian Egan, Mark Feehily, Nicky Byrne and Shane Filan of Westlife performed last night at the Birmingham LG Arena


Westlife returned to the stage last night by performing at Birmingham’s LG Arena and kept their supporting act within the family.

Kian Egan’s wife Jodi Albert jumped on stage with her girl band Wonderland, who are managed by her husband and Louis Walsh.

Westlife’s concert was the perfect opportunity to raise the Irish girl band’s profile and Shane Filan’s wife and sister were also singing along in the audience.


Supporting act: Corrina Durran, Jodi Albert, Kasey Smith, Leigh Learmont and Sharon Condon of Wonderland performed ahead of Westlife


And Wonderland made sure to steal some attention from the boy band by sporting skin tight leather trousers.

Former Hollyoaks star Jodi was joined on stage by her band mates Sharon Condon, Corrina Durran, Leigh Learmont and Kasey Smith.


Happy couple: Jodi Albert of Wonderland performed ahead of her husband and manager Kian Egan of Westlife


They performed their debut single Not a Love Song, which was released last month ahead of their debut album release this summer in June.

After 12 years, 14 number one singles and 11 albums, Westlife’s fans might be a little older these days but their popularity seems just as strong, as screaming fans filled the LG Arena.


Man band: Kian and Shane Filan, Mark Feehily and Nicky Byrne belt out their hits sing together on stage


Their Birmingham performance was part of their current Gravity Tour that kicked off earlier this month and will see them tour the UK until June 27.

Their stage show boasted flames, ticker tape and a mechanical bench which moved the band over the audience.

Kian, Shane, Nicky Byrne and Mark Feehily belted out some of their biggest hits including Uptown Girl and Flying Without Wings.

They also treated the audience to their upcoming single Starlight as well as an acoustic version of Adele’s Rolling in the Deep.

Westlife’s manager and X Factor judge Louis Walsh also formed Wonderland after holding auditions for the five girl group in 2008.

Kian helped Louis hold the open auditions and they are now co-managers of the band.

After over three thousand hopefuls auditioned in Dublin, the five girls were chosen and reportedly signed a six figure record deal with Mercury Records.

Wonderland also supported Westlife’s Where We Are Tour last year and will join the band throughout the rest of their current Gravity Tour.

Hand me the microphone, Mum! Jennifer Hudson upstaged by her son on The View

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Stealing the limelight: As soon as Jennifer Hudson brought her19-month-old son on the set of The View it was clear that he would not go unnoticed


She went on the The View to promote her album and chat about her incredible weight loss story.

But Jennifer Hudson, 29, was quickly upstaged by her son David Jr, who accompanied her onto the set.

At first the 19-month-old had all of The View ladies cooing and fawning all over him as he sat on his mother's lap.

Co-hosts Whoppi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sherri Shepherd and Elizabeth Hasslebeck couldn't get enough of the little boy as they greeted the Academy Award winning singer and actress.

Jennifer explained that she brought David on the show because he couldn't bear to be without his mother.

'He wouldn't let me leave him, so I had to bring him with me,' she told the ladies.


Enamoured: The adorable toddler had all of The View ladies cooing and fawning all over him as he obediently sat on his mother's lap and took to the microphone


Clearly not camera shy, he held onto the microphone for his mother throughout the segment.

Showing he shared his mother's passion for singing, he cooed and hummed the whole was through Jennifer's interview.

But the proud mother was nonplussed, and could only speak of the love she shared for her son.

'I just learn from him, he keeps me smiling everyday,' she said. 'I run out of space on my phone, trying to capture everything he does.'

She then showed a clip of David Jr. singing along to a R&B song while wearing just a nappy.


Confident: The tot was clearly not camera shy as he held onto the microphone for his mother throughout the segment


Dressed in baby blue Rocawear puffa jacket, a pair of jeans and all-white trainers for his TV-screen début, David Jr. was epitome of cute.

His slim-line mother dressed in a simple black top and trouser combination that showed off her incredible figure.

She jazzed the outfit up with a aqua blue belt and some sparkly bangles.


Stunning: Following on from her appearance on the show, the beautiful singer was busy promoting the new album in New York City


Jennifer spoke of her dramatic weight loss on the show, which has seen the singer lose a staggering 80 pounds.

As before and after shots were shown on the screen behind her, the Dreamgirls star said that David Jr. does not recognise her in old pictures which show her former curvier figure.

'Sometime he doesn't recognise me before, because this is the only mommy he has known,' she said.

An 'emaciated' Lady Gaga releases shocking photo to promote new album

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Alien: Lady Gaga just released this picture via her Twitter account of her looking emaciated and gaunt


She has made her name by being one of the most controversial performers in the world but Lady Gaga may be taking the shock factor a bit far.

The singer just released this photograph of herself with a clearly altered appearance as part of the promotion for her new album, Born This Way, which is released on May 23.

In the photo Gaga is sporting prosthetic cheek bones and painted eyebrows which make her appear gaunt and emaciated.


Shock jock: Lady Gaga, seen here last month in Paris, is known for her crazy costumes


The shocking photo was posted by the star on her Twitter page and is the first official posting regarding her highly anticipated new record.

Gaga's rail-thin frame has been the subject of much speculation since she rose to fame.

Last year the author of an unofficial biography, and ex-GaGa tour manager, David Ciemny, claimed the star was hospitalised six times in 2009 due to her starving herself to fit into her outrageous stage costumes.

Born This Way will come as her second major studio album.

The 24-year-old singer clearly goes to great lengths to provoke a reaction from her appearance and even admitted last week that her hair is now falling out from all the over-dying.


Fresh faced: The singer appeared healthier and more natural aged 18 when she was attending Manhattan Girls School


Gaga, who is naturally a brunette, has become known for her platinum blonde locks says she misses her dark hair when she 'has to get a chemical hair cut because my blonde hair is falling out,' she told People magazine.

While promoting the upcoming album, Gaga has also been busy continuing her Monster's Ball tour.

Tomorrow she will be performing in Oakland, California then Sacramento on Wednesday before heading to Las Vegas this weekend.

As well as continuing her tour, Gaga has been busy praying for those caught up in the troubles in Japan.

She has also been busy raising funds for the region, designing a prayer bracelet, the profits of which will go to a Tsunami relief fund.

In just 48 hours sales raised more than $250,000 for the charity.

She paired the bright dress and cardigan with a black fedora and black patent peep-toe heels which off set the outfit.

A dog's best friend: The loyal spaniel that stayed by its companion's side until they were rescued from tsunami zone

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Loyal to the end: A dog remains at the side of his wounded friend in the wake of the tsunami - miraculously, both survived


This loyal spaniel saved the life of his injured friend who was barely moving by sticking by his side following the tsunami - and leading a group of rescuers to him.

In heartwarming footage, the brown and white dog leads reporters to the injured mud-splattered animal who is lying flat out among the wreckage.

The dog had seemingly stuck by the side of the wounded animal in Arahama, Sendai, for days following the earthquake and tsunami.

TV crews who were filming in the area initially thought the spaniel was guarding a dead dog, before they excitedly realised the injured animal was alive and being protected.

The dog was later rushed to the vets in Mito, while the loyal dog was taken to a nearby shelter.

The crews thought the white dog was dead but shout excitedly 'Yes! Yes! He is alive' as they spot his head moving.


Warding off danger: The brown spaniel-cross tried to keep a news crew away as he guarded his injured friend


Faithful: Despite surviving a natural disaster, the dog showed no fear as he tried to protect his friend


The crews were shocked to discover that the apparently dead dog has survived.

In an English translation, the reporter apparently says: 'We are in Arahama area. Looks like there is a dog. There is a dog. He looks tired and dirty. He must have been caught in the tsunami. He looks very dirty.

'He has a collar. He must be someone's pet. He has a silver collar. He is shaking. He seems very afraid.

'Oh, there is another dog. I wonder if he is dead.'

Another person off camera asks: 'Where?'

The reporter continues: 'Right there. There is another dog right next to the one sitting down. He is not moving. I wonder. I wonder if he is alright.'


Protector: After barking at reporters, the dog returns to his fellow canine's side


The voice off-camera says: 'The dog is protecting him,' with the reporter replying: 'Yes. He is protecting the dog. That is why he did not want us to approach them. He was trying to keep us at bay.

'I can't watch this. This is very difficult to watch. Oh. Look. He is moving. He is alive. I am so happy to see that he is alive.

'Yes! Yes! He is alive. He looks to be weakened. We need them to be rescued soon. We really want them rescued soon.

'Oh good. He's getting up. It is amazing how they survived the tremendous earthquake and tsunami. It's just amazing that they survived through this all.'



Miracle: The weaker dog begins to stir and his friend puts a comforting paw around him


Both dogs have now been rescued, according to a Facebook post by Kenn Sakurai, president of a dog and cat food firm which aids animal rescue operations.

'The one which came close to the camera is in the better condition,' he explained.

'The othere white, gray and black was weak. So it is in the vet clinic in Ibaraki Prefectre.The other dog is in the shelter of the same area.

'But please know that those two are just the tip of the iceberg. There are more and we need help.'

'I cried over all the nasty comments': How did an innocent wannabe like Rebecca Black become America's most reviled teenager?

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

YouTube sensation: Rebecca Black was launched into the spotlight this week after her heavily auto-tuned song Friday was viewed more than 15 million times online


13-year-old says 'It feels like I'm being cyberbullied'

She did not write the much-mocked lyrics


Rebecca Black became a YouTube hit for all the wrong reasons this week after her heavily auto-tuned song Friday was viewed more than 16million times online.

But the American teenager, who has been dubbed the worst singer in the world insists, she is talented - and says the fact that people remember her song means something.

Online critics have savaged the record, which is about a teenager getting ready for the weekend, but it is soaring on iTunes anyway.


Make me a star! The 13-year-old's mother paid $2,000 to get the song and video made


The 13-year-old's mother paid $2,000 to the LA based Ark Music Factory - production company for aspiring teen singers - to get the song and video made.

The video was shot in her father's home, and friends and family were the extras.

Presented with two songs to potentially record, she chose 'Friday' - but she did not write the mocked lyrics.

Some cyberbullies have even told the teen she deserves to die.

Rebecca gave an interview to Good Morning America and said: '[The worst thing I've read was] I hope you cut yourself and I hope you get an eating disorder so you'll look pretty, and I hope you go cut and die.


Never give up: The aspiring singer, who lives in Orange County, performed the National Anthem on GMA in an effort to prove she can sing


'When I first saw all these nasty comments I did cry.

Remarkably for a girl so young and so attacked, she also defended herself and plans to continue pursuing her musical dreams.

'I decided not to give the haters the satisfaction that they got me so bad I gave up,' Black said, explaining why she refused to take the video off of YouTube.

Thanks to iTunes, she's profiting from the experience.

The money will go to her savings, her school theater program and Japanese relief efforts. 'I just want to be able to keep doing what I love, which is singing.'

Rebecca, from Orange County, in California, also told GMA how her dream is to duet with Justin Bieber.

She said: 'I have Bieber fever. I am in love with Justin Bieber.

'Just thinking about it gives me butterflies.'

And she sent a message to the teen pop sensation asking if he wanted to do a duet.

Te amo, Cupid Boy! Kylie Minogue kisses 'special man' Andres Veloncoso live on stage during Spanish show

By JODY THOMPSON

Come here, you: Kylie Minogue beckoned over boyfriend Andres Veloncoso for a kiss during her show in Barcelona


She's hinted lately that he may be the man she finally settles down with and has babies - and Kylie Minogue confirmed her deep feelings for boyfriend Andres Veloncoso with her most public display of affection ever.

The 42-year-old Spinning Around star was playing a date in 32-year-old Andres's home country of Spain when she beckoned him to the stage - and planted a kiss full on his lips.

Speaking in halting Spanish, she told the crowd at the Palau Saint Jordi in Barcelona: 'I'm so happy to have family here tonight, especially someone. My Cupid Boy.'


Love you back: Andres had been blowing kisses at his girlfriend of three years during her show in the city at the weekend


She then searched for Andres in the crowd of thousands and as he blew kisses towards her, the singer gestured to him to come and get the real thing.

he singer had earlier rather aptly performing her song Cupid Boy to huge video images of the hunky male model - who Kylie calls her 'special man' - during the date of her Aphrodite: Les Folies tour at the weekend.

Earlier this month, the star celebrated her five year all-clear following her battle with breast cancer - and hinted that marriage and babies with Andres may be on the cards


What a smacker: The Spanish crowd went crazy when Kylie demonstrated her love so publicly to her 'special man' - local boy Andres


She marked her cancer-free milestone in Milan after a gig there with her tour's creative directors Dolce & Gabbana, who designed all the costumes for it.

She'd earlier told Australian newspaper the Herald Sun: 'I feel like I’m back with all guns blazing...Obviously, it’s going to be exciting but it’s also going to be surreal and momentous and a bit scary.'

The singer, who has been dating Andres for three years, has previously voiced her concerns that she may not be able to have a baby following her battle with breast cancer.

But asked earlier this month whether she would ever think about surrogacy or adoption, Minogue told Grazia magazine: 'I do think about them and I would absolutely look into those options because children and family are very important to me. It's something in my mind.'


Look of love: Kylie celebrated her five-year all-clear from cancer earlier this month with Andres with a big party after her gig in Milan


Kylie, whose sister Dannii had a boy last year, recently said of having a baby: 'I would really love to be a mother, but I just don't think it can ever happen.

'After everything I've been through - the treatment for breast cancer - I may not actually be able to conceive.'

'Andres is a natural with children. We will just have to see but I’m not sure if that will be part of my future.'

But she continued: 'There’s more than one way to skin a cat. It’s important for women to know there are other options available, whatever means you have to use to have a family - if that’s your desire, go for it.'

And the star added: 'I have a very special man. I might get married, you never know...'

B.o.B has just debuted a new music video filmed to support his song titled "Dr. Aden". It revolves around a female doctor who joins a government organization "without the slightest hesitation."

Zip yourself up, Justin! Bieber flies low as he suffers a wardrobe malfunction on stage

By GEORGINA LITTLEJOHN

Flying low: Justin Bieber seemed unaware that his fly was undone as he came on stage at the Liverpool Echo Arena last night


After spending the day trapped inside his hotel, you'd have thought that Justin Bieber would have had plenty of time to go over his tour costumes.

But it would seem that in his over-excitement to leave his suite and get on stage, he forgot to adjust probably one of the most important parts of his outfit.

The teenage pop sensation has forgotten to zip up the fly on his trousers, which gaped open as he came on stage at Liverpool's Echo Arena on Friday night.

Justin, 17, seemed blissfully unaware of his wardrobe malfunction as he greeted the screaming 11,000-strong fans that had been waiting for their idol to arrive.

And not only were they treated to a view of their pin-up in the flesh, but they also got a bit more than they bargained for.



I've got it covered: Justin kept his hand strategically placed over his open zipper as he strutted his stuff for his screaming fans


And as the singer gyrated and thrust some moves in their direction, he kept his hand over his crotch instead of trying to subtly turn round and quickly zip it up.

Not that his fans seemed to care, as they screamed, cried and sang along with the pop star as he treated them to a setlist packed full of his hits including Baby, Never Say Never and his debut single One Time.


Hello Liverpool! Sunglasses on, Justin bent over in his futuristic outfit to try and hide his open fly as he performed a dazzling set


And joining in was WAG Alex Gerrard, who had brought her two young daughters Lilly-Ella, seven, and four-year-old Lexie along to the gig, but seemed to be enjoying it as much as them.

It was Bieber's only date in the Merseyside city but he almost didn't make the concert after he was trapped in his hotel by hundreds of female fans who had converged outside the Hard Days Night hotel, hoping for a glimpse of their idol.


Bieber fever: Alex Gerrard looked delighted as she took daughters Lilly-Ella and Lexie to the show


They crowded round all doors of the boutique hotel making it impossible for Bieber to leave his hotel room.

And the Canadian teen was warned by police he could be arrested if he attempted to venture outside and would be charged with 'inciting a riot.'

Fans cautioned by police amid scenes of pandemonium at Hard Days Night hotel


Liverpool residents may have felt a case of a deja vu today.

The birthplace of the Beatles was brought to a standstill as screaming Justin Bieber fans took over streets outside the singer's hotel and police were brought in to control the hundreds of schoolgirls clambering for a glimpse of their idol.

The 17-year-old singer has been warned by police that he could be arrested for 'inciting a riot' if he steps outside.


Deja vu: Police held back screaming schoolgirls camped outside the Hard Days Night hotel





Chaos: Police were called in to control fans outside Justin Bieber's Liverpool hotel today


Bieber is due to perform at the Liverpool Echo Arena tomorrow night, and had planned on enjoying his day off with a historic Beatles tour around the city.

But his plans were nixed by police who fear the scenes outside the Hard Days Night hotel could descend into a 'possible riot situation.'

The Canadian hitmaker, currently holed up in a deluxe £950 a night suite, wrote on his Twitter page this afternoon: 'This is crazy. There are like thousands of people out there. Love everybody but gonna try and get some sleep. Please don't scream. LOL.'


Teen idol: Justin Bieber pictured at his London concert at the O2 arena this week


Justin, who is famous for making time for his legions of 'Beliebers', appears to have grown frustrated with his enforced hotel-arrest, tweeted this evening: 'I can't even say hi to my fans outside cuz of the police. Some bull.

'Trying to work it out so I can say whatup to my fans,' adding: 'I love you guys!'
He managed to negotiate a compromise this evening, and was allowed out on his balcony to wave to the screaming fans.

Police have cordoned off the hotel entrance, holding hundreds of school girls - and their mothers - at bay.

One woman was led away by an officer who was seen giving her a stern caution.
Another young fan attempted to climb the hotel wall, while concerned hotel employees watched from inside.

Justin is in the middle of his world tour, and will play extra dates in London and Manchester next week before Sheffield and Nottingham and then heading to Germany.

The teen sensation reached eight million followers on Twitter this week, beaten only by Lady Gaga, with 8.6 million.


Overwhelmed: Schoolgirls clambered for a view of their idol, but he was been warned by police not to go outside


Trapped: Bieber and his entourage have been told by police that if they leave the hotel they could be arrested for inciting a riot


The scenes are reminiscent of the scenes that followed the Beatles at the height of their fame.

Hundreds of school girls headed straight for the hotel after school today, and were seen pushing and shoving as they attempted to get a photo of the star on their phones.

Bieber uploaded a photo of the scenes to his Twitter page taken as he attempted to venture outside earlier today to go sightseeing.


Not just the teens: A woman is led away and cautioned by police


Attendees have reported solid screaming throughout Bieber's two-hour sold out concerts.

The singer performs all of his hits including Baby, Never Say Never and Somebody To Love.

At his Birmingham gig, he broke hearts when he chose a girl from the audience to sing One Less Lonely Girl.

He picked the young girl from the crowd to sing to and presented her with 12 red roses declaring there was now: 'One less lonely British girl.'


Mania: A Bieber fan is overwhelmed... just like the Beatles fans in 1964


Look familiar? The chaotic scenes are reminiscent of police attempting to restrain Beatles fans in 1968


It was only for show though, as the teen idol recently went public with his romance with Disney princess Selena Gomez.

The pair attended the Oscars together last month in their first public appearance as a couple.

Although he didn't attempt a Brummie accent, he did speak in a Cockney accent in a bid to 'speak British'.

The teenager also spoke of his love for the national dish, fish 'n' chips.
