Lucky Day: Nicola Roberts films her second solo music video in New York City and flashes her knickers

In her first solo music video, Beat Of My Drum, she wore patterned pants and now Nicola Roberts is flashing some new knickers.

The 25-year-old singer was shooting a video in New York yesterday for her new upcoming single and showed off a pair of leopard print smalls.

The Girls Aloud star teamed up the pants with a barely-there floral dress and some Nike high tops.

Despite looking like she’d forgotten her trousers, Nicola appeared to be starting a new fashion trend in the Big Apple.


New trend? Nicola appeared to have forgotten her trousers but pulled off the look in the tiny dress


Her second single Lucky Day follows the release of Beat Of My Drum last month from her debut solo album yet to be released.

The album, titled Cinderella’s Eyes will be released on September 26 this year to follow on from two single releases.

But although she received raving reviews from music critics for Beat Of My Drum, Nicola failed to top the charts with it.

The upbeat pop song was written by Nicola, with the help of Maya von Doll, Wesley ‘Diplo’ Pentz and Dimitri Tikovoi.

Nicola was filming the video yesterday at St Marks Place in the East Village of New York City and when she wasn’t dancing around, she posed behind some newspaper stands.

And she tweeted after filming: ‘Today was my ‘Lucky Day’… Had the best time shooting my 2nd video. I met some lovely people. I love NY… All feels very surreal right now. X’

Dance moves: The star was dancing around the streets of New York with her hands in the air


But after a fleeting trip Stateside, Nicola was back in London today for the film premiere of Horrid Henry at London’s Southbank today.

Roberts tweeted this morning: ‘Just landed in London after THE scariest bumpiest flight ever! Didn’t sleep a wink! HATE flying x’

She walked the red carpet to lend her support to Girls Aloud bandmate Kimberley Walsh, who has a role in the children’s film.

Sarah Harding also arrived for the event, but their other bandmate Cheryl Cole was nowhere to be seen – nor was Nadine Coyle.

Amy Winehouse booed and jeered by Serbian crowd as she slurs and stumbles her way through Belgrade concert

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

A let down: Amy Winehouse looked inebriated as she arrived on stage an hour late in Serbia, staggered about, slurred her words and was jeered by the audience


Earlier this month she checked out of rehab and was given the go ahead to embark on her European tour.

But it would seem that Amy Winehouse has spectacularly fallen off the wagon as her Serbian fans found out to their horror last night.

The singer was booed as she took to the stage in Belgrade on the first leg of her 12-date stint, and looked intoxicated as she stumbled around the stage.


Hello: Amy holds on to her guitarist who she went over and hugged as after being introduced onto the stage at Belgrade's Kalemegdan Park


An hour after she was due to arrive on stage, after being introduced by one of her backing singers, she staggered on and made her way to the back to hug one of her guitarists.

Wearing a short green and black dress that accentuated her cosmetically-enhanced breasts, she sat down on one of the speakers and adjusted her shoes while her concerned backing singer asked if she was ok and steadied her back to her microphone.

Amy, 27, looked confused and then took off one of her shoes which she threw on the floor before walking unsteadily over to her microphone.


Are you ok? As she stumbled around looking lost, her backing singer grabbed her hand in concern


After missing her cue a couple of times, she proceeded to deliver a half-spoken and mumbled version of her song Just Friends, her last release back in 2008.

Halfway through, slurring her words which she had difficulty stringing together, she told the crowd at the city's Kalemegdan Park: 'Let me bring the band introduction.'

But then she tried to continue singing the song, smiling all the while, seemingly oblivious of how she was coming across to her fans.

After hugging herself and failing to sing most of the song, she then came back in as the band finished, looked surprised and then slurred 'Just Friends' into the microphone as an astonished crowd booed and halfheartedly clapped.

The situation didn't improve much throughout the concert, as the Back to Black singer disappeared off stage several times leaving her band playing.

And according to local press reports, the 20,000 fans described as a 'scandal' and a 'disaster'.


What is she doing? To the amusement of her band, Amy bends over on stage to take off one of her shoes


Fans were also angry as may had paid about £35 a ticket which is a lot of money in a country where the average salary is about £274 a month.

One fan angrily wrote on YouTube - where videos of her disastrous performance have been posted - that he was still mad at her.

They fumed: 'She started a show and turned her back to public (btw, for most of us it was not that easy to give the money for ticket because of the economic situation in Serbia) and that was just the beginning of her disrespect and bizarre behavior.

'She did not sang one song from beginning to the end, Some of them she didn't even tried to sing. Not a fan anymore'

Amy is due in Turkey tomorrow to play Istanbul's Kucuk Ciftlik Park and also has dates in Greece, Spain, Switzerland, Italy, Poland, Hungary and Romania, finishing up on 15 August at Iolanda Balas Soter Stadium, Bucharest.

Earlier this month she checked out of The Priory Clinic at the suggestion of her father, Mitch, over concerns she was drinking too much prior to her live shows.


Outrage: Fans, who had paid a lot of money to see her play, turned on the star afterwards and called the show a 'disaster'


Her spokesman said: 'Amy Winehouse has completed her assessment at the Priory Clinic in London and will continue as an outpatient.

'She is now looking forward to playing shows around Europe this summer and is raring to go.

'She would like to send a huge thanks to all her fans for the messages of support she has received over the last week and can't wait to see them.'

Golden girl Taylor Swift glitters in a shimmering fringed dress and knee-high boots

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Going for gold: Taylor Swift kicked off her Speak Now world tour in Omaha, Nebraska tonight looking stunning in a gold fringed dress and knee high black boots


She is one of American music's shining lights, with her platinum-selling albums and a stash of awards to her name.

So it was perhaps fitting that 21-year-old Taylor Swift sported a striking golden fringed dress on the first date of her Speak Now world tour tonight.

The 21-year-old singer teamed her fringed mini dress with a pair of knee-high black boots as she kicked off her most elaborate tour yet in Omaha, Nebraska.

The star also returned to a past habit of writing on herself for live shows, this time seeming to scrawl a lyric along her arm in black pen.

Backed by a nine-piece band and eight dancers, the singer played for two hours, changing costume several times as she performed songs from hit albums Fearless and Speak Now.


Fun times: The 21-year-old singer looked like she was enjoying herself as she played a cherry red guitar and sung to the enthusiastic crowd


Earlier, she had told People.com how she helped plan the theatrical looking show, which includes pyrotechnics and a fake snowstorm.

'The tour is exactly how my imagination looks and I'm so excited that we get to have these entire scenes created on stage,' she said.

'I started out in theatre so you definitely see influences of that.'


Skin graffiti: Taylor wrote what looked like lyrics on her arms in black pen for the show


'We get to have such groovy, cool stuff happening,' she added to MTV about the stadium-based show. 'I've never had pyro before. I've never had aerialists before.

It's got this grand staircase. The stage in itself looks like an old-world theatre.

'I can't believe we get to play stadiums. I'm so excited about this tour. I want to live on that stage. I hope people leave the concert feeling like they know you better.'

The star also said she saw the tour as a 'thank you' to her fans, who made Speak Now one of the most successful albums of last year.


American sweetheart: Taylor revealed she has had a lot of input into the theatrical tour


'That's why I'm so blown away. That's why I can't wait to go out on tour and thank them personally,' she said.

And she certainly seemed to enjoy tonight's show, tweeting after her performance: 'Woah Omaha. That first show was SO much fun and I can't wait to see you again tomorrow!!'

Now Lady Gaga 'gives birth' on stage: Outrageous singer releases gold liquid

By MARCUS BARNES

Another Gaga stunt: Lady Gaga donned a fake baby bump, rested her feet in stirrups and 'gave birth' to gold liquid as she sang hit Born This Way on Saturday Night Live


She's covered herself with blood, emerged from an egg and danced around with a crucifix on her crotch.

And now Lady Gaga can add giving birth to her growing list of outrageous stage show stunts.

With a false belly attached to her midriff, the singer placed her legs in a pair of stirrups and proceeded to secrete gold liquid during a performance on U.S. show Saturday Night Live.


Controversial: The singer is never one to shy away from outrageous stunts - this the latest in a long line of bizarre performances


The 25-year-old singer began her performance by emerging from a pod, emblazoned with the name Beluga Gagaviar No1 - a reference to the famous, and very expensive, brand of caviar.

Wearing a pair of PVC trousers and a cropped PVC blazer, which exposed her ultra-flat midriff, she launched into a typically energetic performance, singing all the vocals live as usual.

Towards the end of the song her dancers surrounded her and, when she emerged from the scrum Gaga had acquired a huge bump.

She immediately headed from a mock hospital bed to the side of the stage where her dancers helped into a pair of stirrups, and she subsequently 'gave birth' to a gold liquid.

The performance was part of Saturday Night Live's closing show which was hosted by singer Justin Timberlake.


Eccentric: Gaga's influence spread to the set of the show which was covered with gold and black stripes to match the outfits of her dancers and herself


Plenty of bottle: Gaga joined in the fun throughout the show dressing up as a wine bottle in this Liquorville with host Justin Timberlake


Gaga also performed her songs Edge Of Glory and Judas during the show, as well as joining in with the comedy sketches.

she was the female element in a song about threesomes performed by Timberlake and comedian Adam Samberg.

The hilarious song, which included the chorus 'It's okay when it's in a three-way, it's not gay when it's in a three-way. With some honey in the middle there's some leeway, the area's grey in a one, two, three-way.'


Surprise: Timberlake and Samberg end up in bed together without Gaga in the amusing video


The singer kept a straight face throughout the song, which sees Timberlake and Samberg end up in bed together without her.

In another scene she put a huge cork on her head, with a dress covered in grapes and a huge wine glass on each of her arms in Timberlake's Liquorville sketch.


Appeal: Gaga asked fans to send in videos for the advert and editors were inundated with material


Fans responded within minutes and uploaded hundreds more videos.

As the videos streamed in, editors worked on the video in real time dropping in new footage as it was received.

The film was completed four days ago, just in time for Gaga's performance on yesterday's season finale of Saturday Night Live.

Lady Gaga takes ANOTHER spectacular tumble on stage

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Shame: This latest embarrassment is the second time the singer has fallen on stage this month


Lady Gaga has taken a humiliating tumble on stage for the second time this month.

Video has emerged showing the Paparazzi singer tripping over her jacket during a live show in Atlanta last night.

But as a true professional she got right back up and continued her performance like nothing had happened.


Hitting hard: The singer had done several head rolls so maybe she had gotten dizzy


The 25-year-old singer was singing and dancing to Poker Face and did several head rolls and before throwing her jacket onto the floor.

As she continued her dance routine she then stepped onto jacket, stumbled before falling flat on the floor.

A minder at the bottom of the stage then took the jacket so she would not fall again and Gaga pranced forward onto the stage to join her dancers and effortlessly joined in the choreographed routine.

Several video pieced together show her spectacular fall from different angles.


Caught on camera: Several videos of the fall were taken which showed Gaga from varying angles


Less than two weeks ago Gaga made another fall as she jumped off of her piano wearing towering heels in the middle of a song in Houston on April 10.

Leaping off the burning piano onto the stool, her heel accidentally flicked the stool away from her, and Gaga fell flat on her back under the piano.

The singer has had to issue an apology recently after using an offensive term during an interview with NME magazine.

Justin Bieber's female doppelgänger becomes a YouTube sensation in her own right

By ANDREA MAGRATH

'You say I'm Bieber, you say it's hot - but let me tell you, no it's not: Dani Shay has become an internet sensation for her parody of Justin Bieber's Baby


A successful pop star is always going to inspire a slew of wannabe impersonators.
But this may just be the best one yet.

A 22-year-old woman who bears a striking resemblance to teen sensation Justin Bieber has become a YouTube sensation in her own right.

A video of the folk singer from Orlando performing a parody of Bieber's hit single Baby has so far attracted 230,000 hits on the website - the platform from which the 17-year-old Canadian launched his own career in 2007.


Doppelganger: The 22-year-old woman's song about people stopping her in the street thinking she's Bieber has attracted over 230,000 hits on YouTube so far


Dani, who describes herself as 'a lesbian who looks like Justin Bieber, but is uniquely different in her own ways,' says: 'I am stopped everywhere I go because people think I am Justin Bieber.

'Before I even knew who he was, no matter what I was wearing, I would be asked for photos, autographs, et cetera.'

Her song, What The Hell, includes the lyrics: 'I guess you noticed, I guess you care/
About the way I flip my hair.

'You say its Bieber, you say its hot/ But let me tell you, no it's not.

'Am I on TV? Girl you playin'/ He looks just like me - what are you sayin'.

'There's another who looks and sings like you/ And he's on every channel of YouTube.

'And I was like "what the hell are you talking about?/ This face has always been mine.'


Separated at birth? Dani is also an aspiring singer/songwriter


Miss Shay's video has even been included on a popular website dedicated to 'lesbians who look like Justin Bieber.

Women who fit the description - named 'Bebians' - can upload pictures of themselves looking like the pop star to the site, which also sells merchandise with the slogan 'I'm not Justin Bieber.'

Dani has denied she is simply riding on Bieber's coat tails. she says: 'I've had my hair like this for years, and I've had my face like this all my life.'


The real deal: Justin attended a screening of his film Never Say Never: 3D in Madrid yesterday


Perhaps luckily for Dani, Justin has traded his famous side-swept locks in recent months for a shorter, choppier 'do.

The real deal is in the middle of his world tour, and will perform tonight in Barcelona.

Yesterday he attended a screening of his film Never say never: 3D in Madrid.

Bieber will perform in Zurich, Milan and Tel Aviv over the next month before moving on to Malaysia and Australia.

Cheeky! Frankie Sandford sizzles in tiny leopard print hotpants as The Saturdays play last night of their debut tour

By JODY THOMPSON

Girls on stage: The Saturdays, (l-r) Mollie King, Rochelle Wiseman, Una Healy, Vanessa White and Frankie, were rounding off their month-long headline tour in the city


They've made a name for themselves by singing together, partying together and even wearing the same outfits - but Frankie Sandford was cut above her Saturdays bandmates on the last date of the Headlines tour last night.

The 22-year-old brunette was sporting daring cheek-flashing leopard print hotpants as the band rounded up their first ever string of live dates in Dublin.

The girlband are never shy about flashing their thighs - in fact, Frankie's bandmate Mollie King was also wearing shorts, but in not quite such an eye-wateringly short style.

However, it's unlikely Frankie was wearing the revealing outfit to garner any male attention.

The singer has been dating West Ham left back Wayne Bridge, 30, for the past two months.

She and her fellow Up songbirds Mollie, 23, Vanessa White, 21, and Rochelle Wiseman, 21, were rounding off their month-long live stint in 29-year-old Una Healy's hometown on Dublin at the city's Olympia Theatre.


Leather ladies: Rochelle, left, and Mollie, right, were both sporting raunchy black leather minidresses during the show at one point


Short and sweet: Vanessa, left, wore very short mini skirt during the concert after one costume change, while Mollie wore a neon vest and denim shorts


However, they won't have long to relax with their other halves, as they are heading straight into the studio to start work on their new album and prepare for their next tour, which will kick off in December.

Una gushed of her hometown gig afterwards: 'Tonight's final gig in Dublin felt like an incredible homecoming- all my family and friends were in the audience.'

But the other girls were a little sad to be ending their time on the road.

Mollie said: 'We've had an absolutely incredible time on our Headlines Tour and can't believe it's finally over' and Rochelle added: 'While we're all sad the tour is finished, we're really excited about the months ahead.'

And loved-up Frankie concluded: 'We feel confident that 2011 will be our best year yet!'

If she keeps wearing outfits as short as last night's, her male fans will certainly agree...

But if they fancy their chances with the singer, they might be out of luck.


Party on: The girls repaired to The Gibson Hotel in Dublin after their tour finale gig for a well-deserved celebration


The star spoke for the first time this week about her relationship with former England player Wayne.

The pair were first spotted together near Bridge's £2million Cheshire mansion in late December - just weeks after Sandford split from long-term live-in boyfriend Dougie Poynter.

Sandford claims she can't remember when they started dating, describing their romance as a 'whirlwind'.


Stepping out: Una, left, and Vanessa, right, were both wearing their party frocks for last night's do


She tells the new issue of More! magazine: 'I really like Wayne. It's going great with him.

'But we're just a normal couple really. To be honest, I'm really not sure how long we've been together, it's all been such a whirlwind...

'He's really special though and it's different with him.'


Saturdays night out: Mollie, left, and Frankie, right, seemed thrilled with the way the tour had gone


The girls celebrated the end of their tour last night meanwhile with a party in the Irish capital.

The girls donned their glad rags for a knees-up at the city's swish Gibson Hotel.
