Catherine Zeta-Jones danced her way to an Oscar in 2002 musical Chicago, but will her daughter Carys be following in the Swansea-born star’s nimble footsteps?

The 12-year-old got her first taste of razzle dazzle when she performed along with her dance troupe at the NYC Dance Alliance Foundation gala over the weekend while her mother and father, Hollywood actor Michael Douglas, looked on.

‘Mummy gets nervous for her,’ admitted 46-year-old Catherine, who also has a 14-year-old son with Douglas, called Dylan.

‘That’s the way it goes these days: I get really nervous and she breezes through it. The way that my mum used to do for me . . . it all comes around.’

If Catherine learnt anything from Chicago, it’s that when you’re good to mama, mama’s good to you.

Breakfast with Pixie in pearls

Although she dyed her hair bright pink this week, pint-sized pop star Pixie Lott can still pull off a more conservative look when required.

The 24-year-old singer does a good imitation of Holly Golightly, the lead in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, complete with little black dress, pearl necklace and diamond tiara.

The image became iconic after the late Audrey Hepburn played her in the 1961 film.

Pixie will play Holly Golightly in a stage adaptation of the film in March next year.

Too posh to pocket it

Brand Beckham is alleged to be worth £1 billion, according to specialists at the London School of Marketing, so Victoria can afford to be nonchalant about her income.

I hear that Posh Spice declined to take a dividend from her company Moody Productions last year.

She took out £750,000 in 2013, but latest accounts for the firm, which she set up in 1997 to channel her earnings from the Spice Girls, disclose that it is holding £345,295 in profits. This compares with £115,815 held in the business in 2013 after Victoria took her dividend.

Victoria’s fashion design business is managed by other companies and the Beckham family are said to together generate between £30 and £40 million a year — more than the Queen.

Lady Bra plugs Bentley - and her title

Her shapely behind will soon be perched in the House of Lords, but Michelle Mone shows no sign of reining in her vulgarity.

The Ultimo bra tycoon tweeted a characteristically busty picture of herself attending an award ceremony this week.

As well as boasting about her name changing — she’s now Lady Mone of Mayfair, God help us — she also managed to plug her dressmaker, Suzanne Neville, as well as Bentley cars, who provided a chaffeur service for VIPs on the evening.

I suppose we should just be grateful that it wasn’t a government limo Mone was using this time. Recently I revealed she’d borrowed Work and Pensions minister Iain Duncan Smith’s taxpayer-funded Jaguar no fewer than six times in her role as a business tsar.
