Danny Cipriani left holding the dog as Kelly Brook stays in bed...all for work of course

He might not look happy about taking his girlfriend's little dog for a walk round the block.But new pictures of Kelly Brook released today will no doubt put Danny Cipriani in a better mood once he sees what's waiting for him at home.
As the rugby star took the actresses small pedigree pug Rocky - a gift to his girlfriend last year - for a walk near the couple's London home, Kelly lounged around looking sexy on a bed as she took part in a campaign for a new bed design.

Chore: Danny Cipriani was spotted taking Kelly Brook's little dog for a walk in London today

The model showed off her enviable figure in a set of photos for mattress manufacturer Silentnight, which is launching a range of high-tech beds called PocketZing.
The mattresses are filled with pro-biotic microcapsules called Purotex, which work on the same principle as the pro-biotic yoghurt drinks, by putting friendly bacteria into the fabric of the mattress.
And Kelly raved about the health benefits of the new beds, and said they were exactly what her demanding lifestyle needed.
She said: 'Having such a busy schedule means I’m constantly on the go and don’t always have the time to look after my body in the way I’d like.

'Having a bed with pro-biotic qualities means it’s doing my body good while I sleep – you can’t ask for more than that from a bed!
'I’m not known for being a morning person, but I’m hoping that will change with my new bed! Let’s face it, everyone could do with a bit of zing in the mornings… couldn’t they?'

• Strictly Come Dancing live tour review: It's a real ballroom blitz

Unfortunately, her busy lifestyle appeared to have got the better of her yesterday when she was snapped running errands in London, where she was seen wearing dark glasses, no make-up and a similarly all black outfit.
Unusually, her trademark toothy smile was nowhere to be seen and she instead looked like she had the weight of the world on her shoulders.

Sweet dreams: Kelly shows why she is every man's ideal bedtime companion

Perhaps the her downcast demeanour is related to news that rugby-playing Cipriani is considering a move to a club Down Under.
His future is up in the air as the Wasps player is said to be considering joining Melbourne side.
And clearly such a move would mean major implications for Kelly, who is currently on tour with the Strictly Come Dancing Live show.
Cipriani is out of contract in the summer and was approached by Rebels representatives Rod Macqueen and John Connolly last week as part of the new Super 15 franchise's recruitment drive.
Should Cipriani complete a move to Australia, he would be unavailable for the 2011 Six Nations and therefore almost certainly out of England coach Martin Johnson's Rugby World Cup plans.
Asked whether it would be possible for Cipriani to remain part of the elite squad when based in Melbourne, Johnson said: 'No of course it's not. The seasons are the same.

Where's your smile, Kelly? Miss Brook looks decidedly downcast as she was seen out and about in London today

'They are playing through February and March so he wouldn't be available for England during the Six Nations.
'It is impossible for him to play for England in the Six Nations if he is over there. I am sure he understands that.'
But Cipriani is adamant that playing for England is still his ambition and says an attractive offer from Wasps would resolve any problems.

He said: 'It was interesting to hear about the Melbourne offer.

'But I am in positive talks with Wasps, and they are moving forward. If they are positive, it will put a full stop to everything. My first loyalty is to Wasps.'
No doubt news that may just change the downcast look on Kelly's face.

Who brought their mum? Madonna, 51, goes clubbing with Jesus Luz, 23, and his pals

She's been hitting the clubs since her Studio 54 days in New York  in the Seventies. So Madonna could be forgiven for wanting to put her feet up these days with a cup of cocoa.
But the mother of four obviously feels there is still enough petrol in the tank to party. And who better to hit the dance floor with in Rio De Janeiro last night than toyboy lover Jesus Luz?
Unfortunately, the singer looked more like a reluctant mum dragged along to a frat party as she watched Jesus, 23, strip to the waist and dance in the sweaty venue with  his friends.

Let's go dancing: Madonna and Jesus Luz went to the Circus nightclub in Rio De Janeiro last night

Taking a back seat: The singer appeared to be one of the oldest people in the venue, with most of the patrons more than half her age

While Jesus got into the groove, Madge stuck to the sidelines, leaving the dancing to the much younger club-goers.
That was hardly surprising. After all, she was more than double the age of the average clubgoer at the Circus Nightclub and at times appeared a little sleepy and withdrawn.
After getting their music fix, the couple were escorted to a waiting car and driven back to their hotel.

It's getting hot in here: The Brazilian model threw some dance moves, but Madonna played spectator and remained seated

But after her arrival in Rio for the carnival earlier this week, she reunited with the Brazilian model over an Italian dinner on Tuesday night.
Earlier yesterday, Madonna did some charity work and spent an hour talking about helping Brazil's poor children with a man who could become the country's next president.
Sao Paulo state Governor Jose Serra, who is considered a likely entrant in the 2010 campaign to succeed Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, came away impressed with her youthful vitality.

Time to go: The pair were later escorted to their car and went back to the hotel

Back on: Earlier they were spotted leaving a restaurant and looked happy together despite reports last week Jesus had dumped the singer

The singer posed for photographers as Serra wrapped an arm around her, but didn't respond to questions about their meeting.

Serra said Madonna expressed a desire to help needy young Brazilians after she toured a Sao Paulo centre that helps children.
He seemed most impressed by Madonna's youthfulness, saying: 'She seems very young, much less than her (age).'

D-Day for John Terry as he arrives in Dubai for Valentine's showdown with wife Toni

Love-cheat John Terry arrived in Dubai tonight for a Valentine's weekend showdown with his wife Toni.
Looking tired and grim-faced, the footballer arrived at his hotel after his seven-hour flight from Heathrow for a heart-to-heart discussion with his 28-year-old wife.
And he will not be in the best frame of mind after he enduring a stinker in last night's defeat at Everton - a potentially crucial slip-up in the Premiership title race.

About to meet the family: John Terry arriving at his hotel in Dubai tonight

The sight of his three-year-old twins Summer Rose and Georgie John should give him a lift, however.
Terry has not seen them since his wife fled to Dubai on January 29 after revelations of Terry's affair with Vanessa Perroncel, a French model who has a child with former Chelsea player Wayne Bridge  - and they have apparently been asking when Daddy is due to arrive.

An onlooker at the hotel where Toni is staying with the girls told The Sun: 'Summer Rose was crying her eyes out, the poor mite. I heard Toni say, "Don't worry, Daddy's coming tomorrow".
'She seemed to cheer up when she heard that. Despite everything that has happened they must be missing him so much.'

Toni looked chic yesterday in a black bikini with gold trim as she awaited Terry's arrival in Dubai

And it appears the feeling is very much mutual.
Terry was photographed clutching a customised washbag featuring a photograph of him with one of his daughters as he left the Malmaison hotel in Liverpool yesterday for the Chelsea match.
The 29-year-old, who was sacked as England captain last week over revelations of the affair, has been allowed to miss Chelsea's weekend FA Cup tie against Cardiff and given compassionate leave to fly to Dubai.
Chelsea assistant manager Ray Wilkins said Terry had discussed taking a break from club duties with manager Carlo Ancelotti.

Toni's stylish black and snake print bikini showed off her trim figure

He said: 'He will not play this weekend. Carlo is giving him a bit of time off.
'He will come back and prepare for our game against Wolves on the 20th.
'They just had a little chat, John and Carlo, and decided that would be the best for all concerned.'
Chelsea will feel they can do without Terry if he plays anything like as badly as he did in last night's 201 defeat.
His most catastrophic lapse the defender misjudged the flight of a long ball and jumped at the wrong moment, allowing Everton's Louis Saha to take it down on his chest and volley in the winner.
He was also accountable for the first goal - a header by Saha, who escaped Terry's attention to meet a corner at the near post.

On the phone: Toni keeps in touch with friends on the beach

All alone: Toni has the beach to herself

Even Gary Lineker on Match Of The Day last night suggested he played like he was in need of his upcoming break.
England fans will be hoping a happy outcome to the talks with Toni restores his form ahead of the summer's World Cup and she is said to be preparing to take Terry back.
The couple have booked a table in her hotel's exclusive Maya restaurant on Valentine's Day this Sunday.
She said earlier this week: ‘I am so glad he has been given the time off and really pleased he could make it.
'We’ll enjoy our time together and make the most of it.’
But she has insisted if she is to give their marriage another go, he must abide by a strict new set of rules.

VIP service: John Terry is chauffeur-driven across the tarmac to catch his plane to Dubai today

The WAG has apparently told the £170,000-a-week international, 'It's my way or it's over,' and demanded he curtails his boisterous lifestyle.
In a series of tearful phone calls to the disgraced footballer, Toni is believed to have said: 'Things have to change. There will be no more chances. Please, I really want this to work. I know you do too.'
However, Terry's attempt to mend things with his wife may be hindered by the presence of his in-laws, who have been lending support to their daughter out in Dubai and helping to look after their twin grandchildren.
Sue and Alan Poole are said to be 'not at all happy' with the way Terry has treated their daughter.
Meanwhile Terry found an unlikely ally today in the form of controversial FIFA president Sepp Blatter, who said the former England captain would have been applauded in some countries for having an affair rather than sacked.

Blatter, in Vancouver for the International Olympic Committee's session, joked
that in 'Latin' countries such as France, Italy and Spain, Terry's conduct may
not have been considered a problem.
'Listen, this is a special approach in the Anglo-Saxon countries,' he said.
'If this had happened in let's say Latin countries then I think he would have been applauded.'
It was Blatter who famously suggested in 2004 that women footballers should wear tighter shorts and skimpier kit to increase the popularity of the game.
'Let the women play in more feminine clothes like they do in volleyball,' he said.
'They could, for example, have tighter shorts. Female players are pretty, if you excuse me for saying so, and they already have some different rules to men - such as playing with a lighter ball. That decision was taken to create a more female aesthetic, so why not do it in fashion?'

Renee Zellweger brings sexy back at the Berlin Film Festival in her backless blue dress

But there was no danger of the Oscar-winning actress fading into the distance at the festival opening tonight, when she dazzled in a daring backless blue dress.
The 40-year-old star flashed plenty of flesh in the strapless gown with a long train as she posed on the red carpet at the opening ceremony and premiere of Chinese film Tuan Yuan (Apart Together).

Katie Price is the belle of the ball in her Disney-esque gown as she attends Vienna Opera Ball

As the biggest night in Austria's social calendar, the annual Vienna Opera Ball draws royalty and aristocrats from around the continent to Austria's capital.
So when Katie Price waltzed into the Vienna State Opera House last night, the elite in attendance could have been forgiven for wondering just how a glamour model scored an invite to such a prestigious event.
Wearing a baby blue strapless ballgown and dripping with diamonds, Jordan lived out her princess fantasies as she arrived as the guests of Austrian entrepreneurs Irene and Alexander Mayer.

Belle of the ball: Katie Price steals the limelight in her baby blue strapless ballgown and diamonds as she arrives at the Vienna Opera Ball at the Vienna State Opera House last night

Fortunately for Price, she had the limelight all to herself after fellow celebrity guest Lindsay Lohan failed to show after reportedly missing her flight from Los Angeles.
Lohan was offered $150,000 to be the date of veteran Austrian tycoon Richard Lugner, who famously pays a different female celebrity to be his date at the ball every year.
Lugner originally invited Price to be his date, but 'un-invited' her after she broke his embargo of telling the media about her invite before his official announcement on January 20.
Instead, the Mayers stepped forward and invited Price as their guests and asked the 31-year-old to spend time with them in Vienna ahead of the lavish event.

Near miss: Price checks her low-cut dress is still covering her famous assets

Looking like her outfit had been inspired by a Disney princess, Price gave the guests - including Austrian president Heinz Fischer and his wife Margit - an eyeful of her surgically-enhanced décolletage in her low-cut dress.
Throughout the evening, a nervous Price was seen adjusting her dress over fears her cleavage may fall out.

Her arrival in Austria came as she defended her parenting skills after ex-husband Peter Andre publicly revealed his disapproval of Price putting make-up and false eyelashes on their two-year-old daughter Princess's face.
During her brief trip to the city, the horse-mad model paid a visit to the Spanish riding school.
Price said: 'I’ve heard a lot about what is probably the most important ball in Europe.
'I’m really looking forward to dancing the Viennese waltz with my friends and getting to know Austria.
'I’m an ambitious dressage rider and can’t wait to see the Lipizzaner at Vienna’s Spanish Riding School.'
Price was invited by the Mayers after meeting them several times at charity events back in Britain.
Retail mogul Lugner, 77, claimed Lohan had driven him crazy with her demands before she informed him she wouldn't be able to make it.

He told the Austrian press:'She refuses to take a scheduled flight and told me I must get a private jet sorted out for her. I managed to book an eight-seat jet, but she refused to accept my offer.
'She claimed it would be too uncomfortable and she would not be able to get any sleep when travelling in it. I haven’t got a choice, I suppose.'
Instead, Lugner ended up bringing his significantly younger girlfriend Anastasia 'Katzi' Sokol.
Lohan would have been the latest in a long line of famous women to attend the Vienna Opera Ball.

Every year since 1992, millionaire Lugner has paid a female celebrity to be his escort to the prestigious ball, the highlight of Austria's social calendar.
Previous escorts included Nicollette Sheridan (2009), Dita Von Teese (2008), Paris Hilton (2007), Raquel Welch (1998) and Sophia Loren (1995).
