PAOLO DOESN'T NEED TO SCREAM AFTER SPLIT

 PAOLO Nutini didn't seem like he needed to Scream at the T in the Park launch despite reports that he recently split from his girlfriend Amber Anderson. 
 The Pencil Full of Lead and New Shoes singer was in a jovial mood as he mingled with muso pals including Voice star Stevie McCrorie and his brother Paul  at the bash in Glasgow's St Luke's church last Friday night.
After T in the Park boss Geoff Ellis and Tennent's head of sponsorship George Kyle made speeches, the talented Paisley lad who was clad in denim even took time out to have a giggle with The Showbiz Lion about the length of his hair, joking that he was turning into biblical character Samson. 
Paolo, 29, is reported by The Mirror to have split from 26 year old model Amber after their romance 'fizzled out'. 
The two started dating at Glastonbury in 2014 after Amber passionately made out with him in a bath in his raunchy video Diana, but the Caustic Love singer has obviously taken heed of his album title to turn to pastures new. 

JAMES MARTIN BUCKS TREND OF CLEAN EATING ON TOUR

THEY claimed chefs were the new rock n roll, and James Martin's first ever headline tour proved that - with even a bit of music thrown in for good measure.

The dishy and down to earth Yorkshire man from Saturday Kitchen managed to hold his own on the stage of Glasgow's Royal Concert Hall as he  led us through some of his favourite recipes of all time. 

The action was live so there was no room for retakes as James, who quits the popular telly show next month, chopped, grilled, fried and even munched his way through some interesting dishes.

Full fat cream and butter were order of the night as James bucked the trend of clean eating to go for some of his more indulgent dishes like the full fat brioche eggy bread and pancetta, the perfect hangover cure.
He did of course offer a few healthy alternatives that he'd made for the NHS, but it was all tongue in cheek as he played on his star status by showing how you could make an 8 pence portion of soup into something you could charge £18 for, with the right trimmings.
A particular highlight was his trick with spinning sugar over one audience member's walking stick!
After twenty year on stage James has struck up a rapport with his audience and his cheeky charm made everyone warm to him.
There were Plates galore, some Mates in the form of video guests like Mary Berry, and a few Automobiles thrown on stage as props.
The only frustration was not getting to sample the food which once cooked appeared to be carted off to some lucky member of the production crew backstage.
James says he has no new show planned after this but we're sure we'll see more of his food in the not so distant future.
The rest of the 25 date Plates, Mates and Automobiles tour reads like this...

SANDI THOM USES HYPNOSIS BEFORE BIRTH

SANDI Thom is insisting on a natural birth for her first child with hubbie Matt Benson. The Punk Rocker star, who is due to give birth any minute, refused to be induced by doctors 
She told her online followers: "Still here!! Said no to induction. Baby will come when baby is ready!"
Sandi who is releasing her new album in just a few weeks time, took up running to ensure her body wouldn't get too out of shape with her pregnancy.

She has also prepared for the birth by taking up the unusual practice of  hypnobirthing.

Sandi who has been going through the process with  founder of KG hypnobirthing Katharine Graves.explained: " I can safely say it's the best thing I ever did. Not only do you learn everything you would have learned in an antenatal class but you're also equipped with some wonderful relaxation techniques to help guide you through your labour and a greater understanding of exactly what is going on inside your body at the time.

The process replaces words like contraction with words like wave and surge.

Sandi added: "Basically before I go to bed, Matt reads one of several relaxation visualisations whilst combining that with his touch. It may be that he strokes my hand, my forehead or my abdomen. I simply relax myself and let my subconscious mind soak in every word he says. 

Eventually over time I begin to associate this touch and these visualisations with pure relaxation so when I do go into labour it is the quickest and most effective way to send me into a deep relaxed state. Being in this state of mind will then trigger my body to go into the same state, as body always follows mind and if my body is relaxed, it is open and soft and my uterine muscles will open quicker and more effectively with less pain and discomfort."

CRAIG DAVID HEADS TO T IN THE PARK

COMEBACK king Craig David can't wait to appear at  Scotland's T in the Park fifteen years after he last played the SECC in Glasgow.
Slicker Than Average hitmaker Craig, who has been working with  Big Narstie and teasing us about a possible mixtape with Drake of late, made a big name for himself at the start of  the noughties with hits like Fill Me In and 7 Days.
After performing on the latest series of The x Factor, and recently inking a new deal with Insanity Records he's ready to perform again for his Scottish fans at Strathallan Park this summer with a taste of his TS5 show.
TS5 began as an  exclusive pre party in his Miami Penthouse known as Tower Suite 5 and it proved to be so successful Craig turned it into a radio show before selling out to crowds around the world.
He's sure to impress the T partiers on the Sunday with some old skool anthems mixed with current chart topping house.
He'll be joining headliners including the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Calvin Harris, the Stone Roses, and talents like Bastille, Faithless, Travis, Jess Glynne, Tinie Tempah, Frightened Rabbit, Jake Bugg, The 1975 and James Morrison at the fest which takes place from July 8 -10. 
James Morrison who also recently returned to the fore with new album Higher Than Here said of the fest: "I've played T in the Park only a few times but it's always wicked, the crowds are amazing with massive energy! Last time I sang a lot harder because of it and this time is going to be no different. I'm ready to give back the same. Can't wait, see you soon T in the Park."

WHO HAS THE BEST LIPS?

PUCKER up cause it's time to see which celebrity has the best lips!!

You might not get a chance to get up that close and personal but you can have some fun at the thought of it... 

According to a new poll This Morning presenter Holly Willoughby has the celebrity lips Brits love.

 The survey asked respondents to pick out the lips they adore from ten celebrity pictures.

 Holly scooped almost a quarter (24%) of the vote with those questioned saying her lips were sultry, sexy and oozed glamour.

 Fashion designer and queen of the pout Victoria Beckham took second place with 17% of people loving her lips, whilst Britain’s Got Talent favourite Amanda Holden came in at third with 15%.

 Out of those questioned, 11% picked out model and TV presenter Kelly Brook’s lips as their favourite.

 Alesha Dixon and Mick Jagger took joint fifth place with nine per cent loving their lips. Respondents said the Rolling Stones’ frontman’s lips were iconic and instantly recognisable.

 Coming in at seventh place was singer Cheryl Cole (six per cent) followed by BGT’s Simon Cowell with four per cent.

 Rounding up the ECigaretteDirect.co.uk poll in ninth and tenth place were Jessie J and Harry Styles with three and two per cent of the vote respectively.

 One male respondent said: “Holly Willoughby has lips to die for - they’re perfect. The right size and shape for her face. Her TV husband Phillip Schofield is a very lucky man to look at those lips every morning.”

 A female who took part said: “Victoria Beckham always looks perfect and tops off every stunning outfit with her famous pout. It can sometimes make her look a bit miserable, but I’d love to be able to pout with such confidence. Whenever I give it a go I look slightly mad.”

 Another added: “Mick Jagger has the most iconic lips in showbusiness. Admittedly he’s been around for some time but who doesn’t recognise those famous lips?”

 A male respondent commented: “Amanda Holden is just perfect. She always looks so well groomed and her beautiful smile and lips are the icing on the cake. I’d love to kiss them.”

Top ten:

1.      Holly Willoughby         24%

2.      Victoria Beckham       17%

3.      Amanda Holden          15%

4.      Kelly Brook                  11%

CAROLINE FLACK DETERMINED NOT TO HAVE BAD HAIR DAY

CAROLINE Flack might be upset after leaving X Factor but she's determined not to have a bad hair day.

The telly presenter admitted she was devastated after being axed after just a year on the show but she's hoping things will look up now she's been made brand ambassador for Regis Salons. Formerly blonde Caroline  is planing to make waves in her new role by returning to her signature ‘dip dye’ hairstyle.

As a regular visitor to her local Regis Salon, Caroline has, over the last couple of months, been trialling the new Illumina colour service by Wella Professionals, which was debuted exclusively in Regis Salons earlier this year.

Caroline said of her new style role: “It was so exciting to be asked to be the new face 0f Regis Salons; I jumped at the chance. I’ve always loved to experiment with my hair and regularly visit the salon to make subtle changes to the length or colour, to keep the style looking fresh.

 What I love about Regis is that, as well as being experts in recreating the latest looks from the catwalks and the red carpet, they really care about great hair.  It's good fun to try out new styles and colours but as long as your hair is looking healthy you'll always feel more confident.  If I have a bad hair day I feel more self-conscious and it can affect my mood, so it's really important for me to take care of my hair.”

Jenny Smith, Marketing Manager at Regis UK, added: “We announced Caroline as the new brand ambassador to our salon mangers at the annual Regis UK conference earlier this year and they were all extremely excited.

“Second only to her legs perhaps, Caroline’s hair is instantly recognisable as beautiful and on-trend – she’s rarely ‘papped’ having a bad hair day, which fits perfectly with our ethos: ‘have a great hair day’. We’re really looking forward to working alongside a real hair and style icon, and can’t wait for the campaign to get underway.”
