Back to MySpace? A tired looking Justin Timberlake leaves re-launch party of the social media site with brunette pal

Justin Timberlake is now a happily married man, but doesn't mean can't burn the candle at both ends.
The Suit & Tie singer was seen leaving a showbiz party in LA on Wednesday night - with a mystery brunette in tow - looking tired they got in their awaiting car to drive home.
The event held at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles, was to celebrate the re-launch of MySpace, which Justin has dipped into his own pocket for.

Justin along with business partners Chris and Tim Vanderhook, bought the once-popular social media site for $35million dollars in 2011.
The price almost seems like a bargain buy when compared to the $580 million that Rupert Murdoch spent on MySpace back in 2005, and the $63.47 billion that Facebook is now worth.
The 32-year-old singer is hoping that his cool credentials can boost the brand, and compete with the likes of Spotify.
Perhaps the actor was inspired from his role as Napster founder Sean Parker in the critically acclaimed movie The Social Network.
Inside the event, Justin was seen putting his arm around his beautiful In Time co-star Olivia Wilde, and chatting to Glee actress Dianna Agron.
Justin's wife Jessica Biel, 31, however, was not in attendance at the event.
Hopefully Jessica isn't the jealous kind, as her husband Justin has just released a rather racy new single cover artwork.
For Justin's next release, Tunnel Vision, his brooding face appears on the cover of the single inside a silhouette of a naked woman.
The Social Network actor was seen keeping his head down as he left through a private exit of the event on Wednesday night.
The star-studded event saw an impromptu performance from Miley Cyrus who joined Pharrell Williams and Robin Thicke for a sing song onstage.
Talking to Ellen about Jessica earlier this year, Justin described his wife as his 'best friend' explaining that their relationship 'suits' him.
He added sweetly: 'Every once in a while, I can catch a glimpse of her when she doesn't see me looking. I have this moment where I'm like, 'If you never make a good decision – if you only make bad decisions – for the rest of your life, you made one really good decision,'
When Jessica appeared on Ellen last year, she also shared her thoughts on their marriage.
She revealed: 'The weirdest and kind of most wonderful thing [about being married] is that word. That's my husband.'

Sarah Harding swaps party dresses for a suit as she supports wounded soldiers by making a House of Commons speech


She's much more used to the bright lights of Soho than the suited-and-booted world of Westminster.
If she felt nervous about giving a speech to MPs, Sarah Harding didn't show it.
The former Girls Aloud singer appeared at the House of Commons today in her new role as an ambassador for wounded soldiers.

She went to parliament to make a speech to MPs on behalf of the Coming Home campaign by the Haig Housing Trust.
Sarah joined members of the Falklands Veterans Foundation to urge politicians to offer more support to injured troops who need specially adapted homes when they return from war.
In a pink and black column dress and a black jacket with silky collar and panels, the 31-year-old certainly looked the part.
She chose a pair of black and blue snakeskin strappy heels where the colour on the soles was slightly worn away, showing she was relying on old favourites to give her confidence for the speech.
When her ambassador role was announced, friends revealed that the singer, who performed in front of nearly 300,000 fans on the final Girls Aloud tour, was terrified at the prospect of addressing the MPs.
'This, though, is a whole different ball game. She is utterly terrified,' a friend told the Mirror.
'Sarah has been asked to give a speech, which she is writing herself, on behalf of the charity.
'She will urge MPs to offer more fiscal and emotional support to our returning troops. It is something she feels passionately about. 
'So she agreed to take part even though public speaking really isn’t her thing.'
Sarah posed for photographers outside the Commons before taking to a rather different kind of stage from the ones she's used to.
With one side of her hair pinned behind her ear, showing off white drop earrings, the party girl stood next to the Coming Home banner to promote the £20million fundraising campaign.
Each specially adapted home costs between £150,000 to £300,000, according to the charity, so an injection of star power was just what the campaign needed.

She's certainly earned it! Heel fanatic Victoria Beckham beats Sarah Jessica Parker and Rita Ora to be crowned celebrity with the best shoe collection

  • Victoria Beckham tops polls followed by Rita Ora and Sarah Jessica Parker
  • Duchess of Cambridge, Kelly Brook and Emma Watson also in top ten
  • Average women owns 10-50 pairs of shoes
  • She is the A-lister with an addiction to vertiginous heels who rarely steps out in public without a pair of Louboutins on her feet.
    She even famously said that she 'can't concentrate' in flat shoes - so it comes as no surprise that Victoria Beckham has been crowned the nation's celebrity shoe idol.
    According to the latest research, the former Spice Girl clinches the title of ‘best celebrity shoe style', narrowly beating Sarah Jessica Parker and Rita Ora to claim the top spot.Curious to discover more about whether or not the nation is filled with shoe-obsessed shoppers, the study conducted a poll looking at British women’s preferences and purchasing habits when it comes to footwear.
    When asked to stipulate how many pairs of shoes they currently owned, the majority of respondents (43 per cent) said between 10 - 50 pairs while a quarter claimed they owned just 5 -10 pairs and 15 per cent admitted that they had simply lost count.
    Furthermore, when asked to specify how much they spent, on average, on a new pair of shoes, the majority of respondents said they spent between £10 - £50 per pair. 
    A third of the women taking part claimed between £50 - £100, while 11 per cent said ‘over £100’. 
    Other contenders for best celebrity shoe style were Jennifer Lopez, the Duchess of Cambridge, Kelly Brook and Emma Watson.
    Jennifer Aniston narrowly missed out on the top ten list, earning 32 per cent of the vote while 26 per cent of Britons felt that Diane Kruger had a great shoe style.

    TOP TEN CELEBRITY SHOE IDOLS

    Victoria Beckham (67 per cent)
    Rita Ora (64 per cent)
    Sarah Jessica Parker (61 per cent)
    Jennifer Lopez (58 per cent)
    Kate Middleton (55 per cent)
    Gwen Stefani (52 per cent)
    Kelly Brook (49 per cent)
    Miranda Kerr (43 per cent)
    Taylor Swift (37 per cent)
    Emma Watson (35 per cent)
    According to the research, 57 per cent of respondents admitted that they had bought shoes in the past as a result of a celebrity being pictured wearing them. 
    Furthermore, when asked whether or not they preferred to purchase high street options or designer shoes, 75 per cent of respondents said they preferred to purchase shoes from high-street retailers. with just 17 per cent admitting they preferred to splurge on designer options.
    Mark Pearson, Chairman of MyVoucherCodes.co.uk, who carried out the research, said: 'It’s typical stereotype to think that women love their shoes, but our results show just how much women are willing to part with for them- and how many pairs are stashed in wardrobes across the UK.
    'Interestingly, many British women cited Victoria Beckham as their top celebrity shoe icon, beating out Rita Ora and even Sarah Jessica Parker to the top spot, who put Manolo Blahniks on the map during her Sex and the City days.'

    No time to party! Kendra Wilkinson works on her birthday as she makes a guest appearance on Playboy Radio

    It seems Kendra Wilkinson does not like taking a day off.
    For the reality star celebrated her 28th birthday by making a guest appearance on a radio show in Miami Beach on Wednesday.
    But it seemed she had made sure to come prepared to have some fun once the hard work of her interview spot next to a swimming pool was over.

    For she was clearly wearing a turquoise bikini underneath an visually pleasing ensemble of a figure hugging white vest and tiny tight shorts.
    Of course, the fact she was appearing on her friend Jessica Hall's show on Playboy Radio suggests it would not have been the most taxing of appearances.
    Kendra of course has a long-standing relationship with the pornographic media empire, as she shot to fame one of mogul Hugh Hefner's three girlfriends, even starring in the E! reality television series The Girls Next Door which followed her life in the Playboy Mansion.
    Not seen on Wednesday was her husband Hank Baskett and their three-year-old son Hank Jr.
    The former NFL wide receiver, who now owns training center Athletic Gaines, was busy promoting the OverDog video game app at the E3 convention in Los Angeles.
    Her 30-year-old beau made sure to tweet: 'Lil Hank & I want to wish you a very Happy Birthday baby!!! We love you & are blessed to call you wife & momma!!'
    Kendra has been joined in Miami for a girls-only holiday by make-up artist Jo Jo McCarthy, Sons of Anarchy star Kristen Renton, and presenter Jessica Hall.
    Yesterday she was spotted taking advantage of the Florida sunshine as she frollicked on the beach with her girlfriends in a revealing pink two piece swimsuit.

    Pictured: New couple Kate Upton and Maksim Chmerkovskiy on romantic dinner date (and his top is more low cut than hers)

    Sports Illustrated model Kate Upton and Dancing With The Stars professional Maksim Chmerkovskiy are pictured here on their Monday night dinner date.
    The snaps add weight to reports earlier this week that the pair have struck up a new romance.
    But it looks like curvy Kate, 21, is going to have some competition in the wardrobe stakes from the snake-hipped Ukrainian dancer, who set about showing more 'cleavage' than busty Upton on their New York outing.

    While Kate opted for an all-black ensemble, consisting of a racy sheer top with netted sleeves, Maksim, 33, was more 'pec-ish' than peckish, taking the plunge in an unbuttoned white top.
    It was a special occasion for Kate too - she was celebrating her milestone 21st birthday on the day of their romantic rendezvous.
    The duo are said to have held hands under the table as they dined together at upmarket Italian restaurant Scalinatella on New York's Upper East Side.
    'It's very new,' a source told US Weekly. 'They were set up through friends. They just started dating.'
    'They were very canoodly,' the source said. 'It was a very intimate meal.'
    Both of the stars' reps declined to comment, with a source close to Kate claiming the two have known each other a long time and are just good friends.Kate, meanwhile, rang in her 21st birthday in a rather unlikely place. 
    The swimsuit model spent the day with her uncle, Congressman Fred Upton (R- Mich.) and GOP Whip Kevin McCarthy.
    McCarthy proudly posted a picture of the trio on his Instagram page, prompting his nephew Zac McCarthy to write:
    '@repkevinmccarthy don’t forget you got a 21 year old nephew….'

    Lock-a-likes! One Direction get their very own hair doubles... to stand in just for shots from behind

    They say Samson’s strength was in his hair and it’s much the same for boybands.
    So it’s no surprise that One Direction have got themselves a set of hair doubles to stand in for them in those all-important behind shots. 
    Three lucky lads with luscious locks, who are meant to represent Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik and Niall Horan were spotted milling about in Miami following a day of filming with the band. 

    And although from the front the lads looked nothing like their pop star counterparts, from the back their styled locks looked almost spot on.s who, the hair-a-like for Zayn was seen with a name badge on his trousers.
    While the stand-in’s hair was spot on his body shape was rather different, looking much more built than the real Zayn. 
    Clearly enjoying the life of a boyband for the day the men were seen picking up a bite to eat and taking pictures of the waiting fans.
    Unfortunately the hordes of girls standing in the rain didn’t look too taken with the hair on show.
    Perhaps it might have been a different story if they had caught a glimpse of Harry Styles’ stand-in, as his curly haired mop is without a doubt the most famous in the band. 
    Meanwhile as their stand-ins were on hand all day for their head shots, the actual group were spotted leaving a recording studio after a long day’s work. 
    The caring boys made sure to stop and waves to their fans who had no doubt been waiting all day to catch a glimpse of them.
    Showing off their impressive tans after spending a day on a luxury yacht the group all looked in high spirits.
    Dressed down in casual wear the boys seemed relaxed and despite a long day working all of their hair was still in perfect place, although Zayn decided to keep his covered up with black cap. 
    Earlier in the week the group caused a stir when Harry, Niall and Zayn were all more than happy to wander around shirtless. 
    With a couple of days off before their concerts in the Florida city, the stars made the most of the warm weather and decided to hire their own 90ft custom-built boat.
    While they are currently in Miami as the tour is in the early stage of its North American leg, they are also taking their time to record fresh material for their hotly anticipated third studio album - due for release later this year.
    The band kicked off the North American leg of their Take Me Home tour at the weekend after having a week off to relax with their friends and family.

    Kanye West skips off to Europe AGAIN... leaving heavily pregnant Kim Kardashian to grapple with cheating claims alone in LA

    Kim Kardashian was left to cope with the fall-out of cheating claims on her own this week after Kanye West skipped off to Europe yet again. 
    The Heartless rapper, who partied in New York on his 38th birthday over the weekend without his pregnant girlfriend, left the East Coast and turned up at an art show in Switzerland on Tuesday. 
    He was in the city to attend Art Basel and host a listening party for his upcoming album, Yeesus.
    The following day the couple were hit by allegations he cheated on her with a Canadian model after they met at one of his shows. (Spokespeople for both Kim and Kanye vigorously deny the claims).

    Despite the fact the reality TV star, 32, has been grounded in LA for weeks as she prepares to give birth, Kanye has continued to gallivant across the globe ahead of the release of the record.
    The couple have been apart for much of her pregnancy, with performer choosing to spend time in Paris and New York rather than with his girlfriend. 
    Meanwhile, Kim is preparing to move back in with with her mother Kris Jenner before the arrival of their girl in a few weeks. Her new LA family home is undergoing huge - and very costly - renovations. 
    It's unclear if Kanye intends to move in with the Jenners too. 
    Kim did her best to put on a brave face in LA on Wednesday as she emerged in Beverly Hills by best friend Jonathan Cheban.  
    She stepped out just hours after America's Star magazine reported Leyla Ghobadi's claims of a flight with the rapper, which allegedly began in July 2012.
    Leyla alleges the affair continued even after Kim had announced her pregnancy after Kanye dismissed his relationship with the reality star as just 'for publicity and nothing serious'.
    Explaining her decision to reveal the relationship, brunette Leyla said: 'This is going to destroy the Kardashian family. It’s bad. It’s really bad. It’s just embarrassing. But if I were Kim and about to have a baby, I would want to know.' 
    Kim's representatives denied the reports, while Kanye's added: 'This most recent attack on Kanye West and his family is totally without merit.
    'It's a blatant attempt by a misguided individual who is clearly seeking publicity, and another in a series of malicious stories drummed up by non-credible "news" sources.' This is a sad attempt to hurt two people trying to live their lives.'
    But Leyla has remained defiant and even set up a Twitter page on Wednesday to address her critics, or as she put it: 'To show you guys what I'm really like. Not just doing this for 'The Fame'.'
    Leyla then began a Twitter rant. 'Maybe I went about this the wrong way but how else am I meant to get thru to her? I am NOT the bad guy in this situation. nothing more 2 say,' she wrote.
    'The woman will always get the blame for everything huh.'
    When asked by other users if she has proof of the affair, the curvy model tweeted: 'Proof? Yeah because I was going to take pictures of myself f***ing him. I could show u calls but I'm not about to put his number on twitter.'
    She later added: 'Okay I'm out. Said what I had to say. To the haters- u don't know s*** about the situation. Everyone else who's being supportive; thank you.'
    Kanye is said to have first set his sights on curvy model Leyla when he saw her dancing in the crowd at his show in Atlantic City in July last year.
    And despite Kim also being present at the gig in Revel’s Ovation Hall, Kanye reportedly instructed a member of his entourage to seek out Leyla and invite her backstage. 
    The rapper is then reported to have invited Leyla for cocktails at AC’s HQ Nightclub, before asking her to come back to his hotel room. 
    However, Leyla declined, adding to the publication: 'I refused, as I felt it was too rushed.'
