Sadly, it is time to retire the Pimm’s for another year, but one thing that you can enjoy as the cold weather blows in is a good red wine by a roaring fire.

British designers really showed what they had at London Fashion Week this week as the depth, breadth and creativity of their designs

He doesn’t exactly tear up the rule book here: big, heartfelt ballads dominate, as with the gorgeous In My Dreams, and the Jessie J-featuring Up, on which the Essex lass thankfully refrains from bawling at the top of her lungs.

A source close to Justin however has been quick to say that he has never sent Mila a picture of his penis. Other stars reportedly targeted include Jessica Alba, Christina Aguilera, Vanessa Hudgens, Selena Gomez and Miley Cyrus.
