THE BIG PICTURES
Selena Gomez goes braless in extreme plunging dress with dangerously high split in Paris
The 23-year-old singer appeared to forgo underwear altogether in the sophisticated gown that flattered her incredible figure.
And the Geordie Shore star yet again pushed her own self promotion as she took to Instagram once more to show off her bikini clad figure on Tuesday.
Rob, 28, dashed to Atlanta on Monday to be with his girlfriend and returned still wearing the same clothes he'd been seen in 24 hours earlier.
Kim Kardashian has hit back at criticism over sharing a nude picture... by posting another one.
Karlie Kloss sizzles in form-fitting cut-out scarlet dress with sexy bra detail in Paris
The 23-year-old model stepped out wearing a red form-fitting dress which fell down to below her knee and had a cut out section on one side of her cleavage.

THE BIG READS
Emma Thompson has condemned awards shows such as this Sunday's Oscars because the season goes on for too long 'and drives everybody insane', writes Baz Bamigboye.

Baz Luhrmann has contracted hot British choreographer Drew McOnie to direct his 'baby' - the stage musical version of Strictly Ballroom - in Britain and give it a fresh perspective.
Like a red light or a wailing alarm, it wards us off - switch over, it shrieks, go to bed, do anything but don't watch any programme with a title like Britain's Weirdest Council Houses (C4).
The extraordinary love story of the late Botswanan president Sir Seretse Khama and his middle-class white English wife Ruth Williams endured despite all the obstacles and outrage.
REVIEWS
FILM
This excellent, low-budget film is about teenagers in small-town America, just like George Lucas's American Graffiti all those years ago.
For every improvement on the original 2009 thriller El Secreto De Sus Ojos, the Chiwetel Ejiofor and Nicole Kidman (pictured) there are a dozen misfires, despite a splendid cast.
On the basis of this sequel, which has moments of exhilarating silliness, but is mostly a mess, I won't mind waiting at least another 15 years for a third outing of Derek Zoolander, writes BRIAN VINER.
Oliver Parker's film, while never reaching anything like the heights of the original at its glorious best, has the same sort of gentle charm and a few bursts of inspired physical comedy, writes BRIAN VINER.
R.L. Stine's series of bestselling horror stories for children are cleverly adapted in this fantasy adventure - but beware, the U certificate; some of your little darlings might find it decidedly scary.
Youth has some moments of brilliance, but is mostly plain strange, a melancholic meditation on old age. Still, as an old man reflecting on a lifetime of missed opportunities, Michael Caine is terrific.

JAMES MORRISON
Higher Than Here (Island)
Morrison became pops prince of pain after he was rejected by reality TV show Fame Academy, and he remains a tormented soul here. Building on the Motown sheen he added on 2011s The Awakening, he addresses his mothers depression on Too Late For Lullabies and sings Heaven To A Fool about his late father. Big ballads dominate, given authority by Morrisons commanding voice, but there are detours into funky, Eighties soul and pulsing house, too.

We Love Disney (Verve)
Some classic Disney songs are interpreted by a diverse cast of singers on an album made for the label that was once home to Ella Fitzgerald. R&B; crooner Ne-Yo adopts a suitably jazzy tone on Friend Like Me (from Aladdin) and Ariana Grande shows her Broadway chops on Zero To Hero (Hercules). Country singer Kacey Musgraves turns Spoonful Of Sugar (Mary Poppins) into a Nashville romp, but Jessie J overstates her case on the Little Mermaid song Part Of Your World.

SKINDRED
Volume (Napalm)
Welsh rockers Skindred skip between genres without losing their edge. Volume is the Newport bands sixth effort, and it uses pile-driving guitars and powerful yet intricate drums to navigate a path through heavy metal, reggae and dance. Titles such as Hit The Ground and Sound The Siren tell their own bruising story, but there is plenty of finesse amid the fury. Bristling with energy and intent, these rousing choruses sound tailor-made for next summers festivals.

SHAWN MENDES
Handwritten (Island)
Aged just 16, this week Mendes became the youngest singer since Justin Bieber to top the U.S. album chart, and comparisons between the two Canadians are inevitable. This debut relies heavily on romantic teen ballads, while recent single Life Of The Party embraces the thwack and boom of modern pop. There is more to Mendes, though, with the pounding acoustics of Something Big and Strings closer to Ed Sheeran.

MARTIN GORE
MG (Mute)
As the main songwriter in Depeche Mode, Martin Gore can write catchy pop songs in his sleep. But this solo album offers an intriguing detour, comprising 16 electronic instrumentals recorded in his LA home. With its gently pulsing rhythms and subtle hooks, MG sounds like the soundtrack to a sci-fi film, while there are nods to Kraftwerk and David Bowies 1977 album Low. It may not be essential, but MG is an enterprising reminder of Gores talent.

IMAGINE DRAGONS
Smoke + Mirrors (Interscope)
Finding their niche between the meaty pop of OneRepublic and Coldplays shiny rock, Las Vegas band Imagine Dragons had a major hit with Radioactive, a single that sold nine million. This second album charts a similarly glossy path. New single I Bet My Life chimes perfectly with a machine-tooled pop landscape where sparkling hooks are everything, but there is greater individuality in the jittery electronics of Gold and the beats that power Hopeless Opus.

KATHRYN ROBERTS & SEAN LAKEMAN
Tomorrow Will Follow Today (Iscream)
Crowned best duo at last years BBC Folk Awards, guitarist Lakeman and singer Roberts mix traditional fare with ear-catching originals. The Devon husband-and-wife team deliver a blood-soaked preface on murder ballad Child Owlet. Another ancient tune, The Robber Bridegroom, is similarly sinister. Self-penned numbers bring light relief: Song To Live By offers advice to the couples twin daughters; The Banishing Book is a racy gem.
