Back to work for Myleene Klass (lucky for her it's on a Barbados beach as she shoots new ad for Marks & Spencer)

It seems her love affair with the bikini shows no sign of abating.
No sooner had Myleene Klass finished her television presenting duties at the weekend than she was off to Barbados.
The musician was pictured today in a range of two-pieces as she shot a new ad campaign for Marks & Spencer on the beach.

Myleene looked classy in a white number and blue sarong before changing into a pink one for some more poses.
Earlier, as parts of the UK were again blanketed with snow, Myleene changed quickly into a leopard-print two-piece and headed down to the beach.

But as she stood in the surf and flaunted her lithe physique, she was unaware of a huge wave building up and crashing towards her.

As she ventured a little deeper into the clear blue water Myleene was caught out by the powerful surge that whipped the top half of her bikini clean off.
Thankfully - or not for her male admirers - she managed to protect her dignity before holidaymakers copped an eyeful.

Maybe the malfunction wouldn't have happened if she'd been wearing an M&S bikini, many of which she has modelled in recent years.
A fashion insider said: 'I'm surprised she's not wearing an M&S bikini, given the amount of money it pays her.
'M&S does have a leopard print bikini, but this is certainly not it. She may not be contracted to wear its bikinis, but such photographs are hardly likely to please them.'

She shows off the enviable figure that won her the M&S campaign
Myleene, 31, was enjoying time off in the Caribbean sunshine in her leopard-skin print bikini before she began shooting a new M&S ad campaign today.
The TV presenter will no longer star in the M&S fashion campaigns after Dannii Minogue was announced as the new face of Marks & Spencer earlier this month.
But she will work on a number of projects for the High Street store, including M&S Money and M&S Online TV.
She jetted off to the holiday island after Popstar To Operastar, the celebrity talent show she hosted, finished on Friday night, with Darius Danesh crowned the winner.

And either her fiance Graham Quinn decided she deserved some much needed alone time and stayed at home to take care of their daughter Ava, or both were being particularly camera-shy.
Whatever the reason, Myleene certainly seemed to be enjoying some peace and quiet as she lay back on her lounger in a trilby-style sun hat and a glossy mag for an easy holiday read.

'I consider myself quite the lady,' declares Lady Gaga as she goes topless in magazine shoot

She been renowned for her eccentric clothing and preference to wearing underwear in public.
But in a new interview, flamboyant singer Lady Gaga proves she's a living contradiction as she insists she's 'quite the lady'.
The 23-year-old singer, real name Stefani Germanotta, makes the declaration in a revealing new interview with Q magazine, which sees the pop star posing topless.

The Poker Face star poses in little but a pair of spiky black trousers and metal chains around her neck in the simple shoot, which took place last December, just weeks before Gaga was diagnosed with 'exhaustion'.
Despite regularly flashing the flesh on stage, Gaga says she's more traditional than people realise.
She said: 'Well, I believe in certain institutions: cooking, serving dinner, taking care of my family. So I consider myself quite the lady.'
Signs of stress were clearly visible during the interview and photoshoot, which abruptly ended after Gaga broke down in tears.
She was advised to postpone a concert in West Lafayette, Indiana, on January 15 on doctor's orders.
Gaga's exhaustion, which led to a concert being cancelled in Indiana, was already in evidence during the interview

The singer was suffering breathing problems just moments before she was due to take the stage and was advised to take several days off.
At the time, she apologised on her Twitter micro-blogging site: 'I've been crying for hours, I feel like I let my fans down tonight. An hour before the show, I was feeling dizzy and having trouble breathing.'
'I can't apologise enough for how sorry I am... My stage has complicated mechanical elements, everyone was concerned I'd be in danger during the two hour show, since I had passed out earlier. I am so devastated.'

 
The journalist writing the accompanying interview confirms reports that Gaga broke down during the interview, which took place a few weeks before she cancelled the gig in Indiana due to 'exhaustion'.
Sylvia Patterson wrote: 'Over the next three hours, the shoot slowly but painfully begins to unravel as various technical conundrums arise...

'Gaga is perplexed, convinced the lighting makes "my eyes look dead" or accentuates her "weak chin"...
'"Listen to what I'm saying," declares Gaga, more forthright and uncompromising than global pop entities than global pop entities twice her age. "I just don't like the photo."

'Soon her invincible demeanour dissolves. "I'm stressed..." She retreats to her dressing room, only to mere minutes later in tears and wearing enormous shades...
'She says she has to leave and hopes the shoot can be rescheduled. "I'm just not in a good place right now."'
In the Q magazine interview, Gaga admitted she had many emotional battles with her record label over her individual style.
She said: 'The last thing a young woman needs is another picture of a sexy pop star writhing in sand, covered in grease, touching herself.
'My image was an issue at my record label. I fought for months and cried at meetings.
'I got criticised for being arrogant because if you're sure of yourself as a woman they say you're a bitch whereas if you're a man and you're strong-willed it's normal.'

Attention-seeking Peaches Geldof is no lady in red as she exposes herself in back of taxi

The Issa catwalk show is usually quite a refined affair - so it must have been a relief for organisers that Peaches Geldof saved her latest antics for the taxi journey, and not the event itself.
The sometime model and party girl posted a picture of herself on Twitter, with her dress pulled up to a dangerously indecent height.
The pose, which exposed the 20-year-old's heavily tattooed thigh, seemed at odds with usual celebrity efforts to avoid photographers capturing them at such angles.

Indeed, Peaches even seemed to take some pride in her overexposure, captioning the photograph the words: 'It's freezing, but I'm braving the cold for the Issa show later in a red Issa dress... probs gonna get a cold!!'

 
Demure: Peaches' Issa dress actually fell to just above the knee

By contrast, when pictured later at the show, the red strapless dress looked rather demure, hitting just above the knee.
The daughter of former Boom Town Rat Sir Bob Geldof sat front-row at the high-brow event, which was also attended by Princess Beatrice, Alexandra Burke, Jodie Kidd and Pearl Lowe.
It was one of a string of events she has attended as part of London Fashion Week.
Yesterday alone, she appeared to have as many outfit changes as the models, when she wore a different outfit to each show she attended.
And each ensemble was more revealing that the last, with thigh-skimming black dresses at Pringle and Pam Hogg, and sheer cut-out panels at Jaeger.
Her fellow fashionistas, meanwhile, were rather more sensibly dressed for the shows, teaming their frocks with everything from blazer jackets to fur coats.
Peaches, who turns 21 next month, has previously designed her own collection for designer label PPQ and online retailer Very.
Her younger sister Pixie, 19, has been equally visible this week, although with a role on the catwalk at Vivienne Westwood Red Label, is playing a larger role in the London Fashion Week proceedings this season.
Last week Miss Geldof was spotted in a passionate embrace with her male friend Eamon Kelly at New York Fashion Week.
Later she denied that Kelly was anything more than a friend.

Coleen Rooney shows off her toned figure in bikini just THREE MONTHS after giving birth

Most new mothers wouldn't dream of wearing a bikini just three months after giving birth.
But, then again, most new mothers aren't Coleen Rooney.
The 23-year-old WAG showed off her toned figure and enviably flat stomach in a black bikini while on holiday with son Kai in Barbados.

Coleen had no qualms about displaying her figure in the stylish two-piece as she relaxed with family on the Caribbean island.

 
The star, who is on holiday without husband Wayne, who has footballing commitments with team Manchester United, teamed the sexy ensemble with a pair of mirrored aviator sunglasses and a loose ponytail.

Yesterday was the first time Coleen has bared her post-baby figure in public.
After arriving in Barbados on Saturday, the star opted to cover up in a pink patterned beach dress, clearly self-conscious of her new body.
But it seems Coleen has now shed her image concerns, as she showed by wowing fellow holiday-goers with her toned figure.

Coleen has clearly been enjoying showing son Kai the wonders of the ocean, although she has ensured he has been covered in high factor suncream as he played the beach.
Coleen was seen smiling with pleasure as she cuddled Kai, dressed in a light blue babygrow, and relaxed on the beach with relatives.

The trip has also been an opportunity for Coleen to show baby Kai the Rooneys' new £5million holiday home on the island.
Over the next two weeks, the family will be staying at the whitewashed villa which is situated on the island's 500-acre Royal Westmoreland development.

The six bedroom villa comes with an infinity pool and breathtaking sea views from the bedroom, and the living room areas.
And if the six bedrooms in the main house are not enough, a detached two-bedroom cottage for additional guests so Wayne and Coleen can enjoy the run of their house.
