The brightest stars of the small screen were out in force on Sunday for one of the hottest nights of the Hollywood calendar - the 68th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards. And Emily Ratajkowski made sure her first time at the star-studded ceremony was a night to remember. The 25-year-old highlighted her slim but curvy figure in an elegant royal blue strapless mermaid gown with a show-stopping train.

Aspiring model Georgia Nicoll, (far left) 22, wore a gold sequinned mini dress for a night out at the Wellington Club in Knightsbridge eight weeks after her mother Helen, (right) 53, died. The blonde, who recently completed a theology degree at Durham University, posed for photographs with friends at the event which featured burlesque dancers and drag queens on July 31 last year. Her mother had been found dead at the family's £1.5million Cambridgeshire home (bottom) on June 4. Mr Nicoll, (top) 54, was yesterday said to have started dating a 45-year-old dental expert four months after the death of his wife.

A couple, from Cambridge, chose to travel the world instead of put their children into a school because they felt they couldn't find one that was good enough. Paul and Caroline King, who met whilst travelling, have spent the last 19 months taking their children Winston, 6, and four-year-old Henry around 15 countries. The couple claim their sons are more advanced than other children their age and after looking at around 20 schools for their eldest Winston they made the life changing decision. After selling their £280,000 house and its contents they have now educated the boys themselves in 15 countries and currently have no plans to stop.

Children in Dorada in Colombia ran from hippos owned by the former estate of drug lord Pablo Escobar as they emerged from a river while they played. The hippos, pictued left in one of the rivers, are left behind from the smuggled zoo of Escobar, inset, who was killed in 1993. The drug lord's life is part of an Emmy nominated Netflix series, Narcos, which has returned for a second series after pulling in 3.2 million viewers worldwide for the first series. His expansive estate, pictured centre top and entrance top right, which is 20km sq is now a theme park, pictured centre bottom. As well as hippos, Escobar had an array of wild animals like flamingos, elephants and giraffes, some of which can be seen in the Narcos credits, pictured bottom right.

Red Snapper Recruitment is paid nearly £5million a year by the Ministry of Defence to provide staff for the Iraq Historic Allegations Team. The agency is owned by husband and wife Martin and Helen Jerrold, who live in a £2million home in Islington, North London.

Three pipe bombs found in New Jersey and two IEDs that terrorized New York City all have one thing in common - cell phones. Each bomb had an old-school flip phone as a detonation timer. All phones used as detonators were similar in design. Investigators told NBC 4 New York all the old-fashioned flip phones were found attached to the devices. An undetonated pressure-cooker explosive had a cell phone attached to it and New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said the device was similar to the one that exploded in the Manhattan neighborhood of Chelsea. No one was injured in the New Jersey explosion and approximately 29 people were hurt after the explosion in Manhattan.
Seaside Park is approximately an hour and a half south of Chelsea in Manhattan.

The home used as 4 Privet Drive in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is for sale in Bracknell for £475,000. Owners will get a three-bed house with large garden and cupboard under the stairs, seen in the first film when Daniel Radcliffe brought the book star to life, pictured left. The house, pictured right, was sold a few years ago for £290,000 but has been extensively redecorated since then. Inset, Harry is whisked away by Rubeus Hagrid to start his wizard training in Hogwarts.

The 31-year-old revealed the happy news to Hello! Magazine , admitting the surprise proposal is  a nice end to a traumatic year after she suffered a horrifying crash on TV show The Jump.

This year's Strictly Come Dancing is the usual line-up of the hopeful and hopeless, bound together by ropes of nerves and stitched up - in more ways than one - by sequins. The squad must always include an ex-boy band hunk, a model who wants everyone to 'see the real me', a soap actress running out of lather, a comedy turn whose cha- cha will give us a laugh, plus a lady of a certain age with a glint in her eye. Add a sporting hero, a pop princess, a preening presenter and a wretch hauled off the breakfast TV sofa and voila!

Rio said goodbye, while some said good riddance, on Sunday night as Brazil's controversial indulgence with the Olympic movement ended. If an eerie, ghostly silence had been notable through many of the sports arenas as Paralympians battled for gold over the previous fortnight in front of swathes of empty seats, silence was curiously also at the top of the running order of the Closing Ceremony. This was the final, last lap as Brazil waved farewell to around 15,000 athletes who had descended on Rio for the Olympics and the Paralympics, and millions watched on their television sets across the globe. They had been warmly welcomed by Rio and their efforts, after a slow start, became extremely popular with both weekend of the games a sell out in the Olympic Park.

Photos taken in China over the past 16 years lift the lid on life as part of a 1.3 billion population, with cities such as Beijing and Shanghai suffering the most overcrowding. Pictured (top left) a swimming pool in Daying county, Sichuan Province; (top right) students sit an exam in Yichuan, Shaanxi province; (bottom left) student housing for a university in Wuhan, Hubei province; (bottom right) taxis outside Beijing's International Airport; and (inset) crowds waiting for a residential compound to open for sale in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province.

Former bodybuilder Zef Eisenberg (pictured, right) crashed and broke his pelvis and was airlifted to hospital from the adrenaline-fueled Straightliners Top Speed event at Elvington airfield in North Yorkshire today (left). He was riding a £350,000 turbine bike (inset) - the fastest of its kind in the world - built by the Madmax team he funded with cash from the £162million sale of his sports supplement company Maximuscle in 2011. Competing in the omega class, the thrill-seeking businessman came off the high-powered machine - which has a helicopter engine - during his timed track run at around 2pm.

Russian-born Miss Jones, 27, was pictured with Mr Balls, 49, during a break from rehearsals. The pair were seen again later the same day giving each other a friendly farewell hug.

An 'organised gang' of beggars are reportedly encouraging their children to target shoppers and commuters in wealthy London neighbourhoods. Police officers were called to Paddington Railway Station after the large group, believed to be Romanian, were spotted harassing members of the public. The gang of women were also using their children, some thought to be as young as three, to approach shoppers outside the luxury department store Harrods in Knightsbridge, begging for money. An eyewitness said the women were 'professionals' who target a specific 'demographic'.

Perfume guru Jo Malone, pictured right in her first shop, made her fortune with unusual perfumes but when she was diagnosed with cancer, her unique and keen sense of smell was cruelly taken away. She recounts her battle in her new novel, including the support of her family, pictured with her left, as she underwent surgery and chemotherapy to aid on the road to recovery.

After a balmy Indian summer made way for sudden storms which lashed parts of the country, it would appear autumn has finally arrived. Temperatures for the rest of the week are expected to range from 18 to 20C, with lows of around 14C - typical for late September. This comes after Met Office figures revealed the first half of September was warmer on average than June, July and August - with temperatures hitting up to 34C at the start of the month. But this weekend some sun-seekers appear to be clinging desperately to what remains of summer as they enjoyed a skinny-dipping session in Brighton (bottom left). The impending arrival of the autumn equinox in four days time was illustrated on the banks of the River Conwy in North Wales (right) and in the mist covering the Peak District (top left).

The footage, believed to have been filmed in China, has already been viewed thousands of times on social media. In the video, the two hapless brawlers spend most of their time posing before delivering only a few blows. The clip, more than two minutes long, ends with the two men appearing to make up. Viewers on social media were quick to find the funny side of the footage. One person wrote: 'Worst. Kung fu street fight. Ever.'

Nic Simpkin, head of finance at Berkeley Group, is said to have used the Albert Hall box to woo secretary Amanda Nelson with food, wine and a show in £315 seats. Details of the apparent date emerged in High Court documents as Mr Simpkin has been dismissed from his role and is taking legal action over unpaid bonuses. Mr SImpkin, from Teddington, denies an intimate relationship.

The McCafe in Paris (left) serves ground Arabica coffee, club sandwiches and soup but none of its classic fast food menu. People have been sharing pictures online of the new coffee shop, which looks unlike any McDonald's in this country. Emma Cheston tweeted a picture of a tempting counter (top right) full of muffins, cake, brightly coloured macarons and pastries, with the shocked and heart emojis. American Carrie Charlick also tweeted a photo of the counter and wrote: 'Look at the @McDonalds in Paris @McCafe #wantoneintheus.'

Aldeburgh Golf Club in Suffolk has had to introduce a 'local rule', approved by the sport's governing body The Royal and Ancient in St Andrews, to take into account 'abnormal conditions'. A sign on the notice board warns: 'A large brown Burmese cat has been seen picking up and carrying away golf balls in the vicinity of the 14th hole.' It informs players the cat is being treated as an 'outside agency' - referring to the ball being moved by someone other than the player or caddy - allowing a substitute ball to be dropped without a penalty, unless it is in the rough.

MailOnline Travel has compiled some of the most breathtaking examples of crystal-clear water from around the globe. Pictured (top left) Jökulsárlón Lake in Iceland; (top right) the Sua Ocean Trench in Samoa; (bottom right) Havelock Island, in India's Bay of Bengal; (bottom left) Blue Spring in New Zealand; and (inset) Star Beach, in the Philippines.

Go pick on someone your own size! A funny video clip shows a tiny dog scaring off three lion cubs who try to take its food. As the felines approach in the footage, the pooch barks and charges at them - and the big cats retreat. The video didn't make clear where the 'food fight' between the animals took place.

Heart-stopping footage shows first-time father Carlos Henrique putting down his son's carrier (left) at a hospital in Teófilo Otoni, in eastern Brazil. The carrier flips (center), sending the baby on a dangerous fall. Receptionist Leonardo Araujo reaches out his arm just in time to catch the newborn (right), inches from the ground. Henrique, a businessman, yelled: 'My God, catch him!" when he saw his first son tumbling from the counter Tuesday evening. Araujo, who has worked in hospitals for about 15 years, was finalizing the mother's file on the computer when he heard the father scream. The parents had tried to close the carrier beforehand but it didn't work, Araujo said. They tried again after the fall, without success.
