Kelly Brook puts on a busty display in shimmering gold gown which clings to her famous curves at charity gala
Kelly Brook and her boyfriend Jeremy Parisi made quite the dashing couple as they enjoyed a glam date night on Sunday at the Brilliant is Beautiful gala dinner.
The pair, who were cut from Saturday's live show as the allegations surfaced, wrote: 'Today, we have had a tough day with a false allegation. Don't believe everything you read, both Amelia and Josh will be stating the truth.'
The Hollyoaks babe sizzled in the skimpy two-piece which displayed her award-winning pert posterior to perfection as she enjoyed a romantic day on the beach with her boyfriend Greg Lake in Ibiza.
Bratavio have become the first act to be ejected from X Factor. The wannabe pop duo were booted from the live show on Sunday evening after receiving the least support from both viewers and the judges.

REVIEWS
FILM
LIBBY PURVES: Todd Phillips's War Dogs boasts unusual subtlety of character for a film about gun-runners. The Night Manager made us imagine arms dealers as smooth sophisticates...
Credit where credit's due: the first few minutes of Tod Williams's thriller-horror, based on a Stephen King novel, are brilliantly unsettling.
The return of Matt Damon, and of director Paul Greengrass, brings back all the exhilarating if rather po-faced entertainment to a movie series that seemed to have run out of puff, writes BRIAN VINER.
The Commune is apparently inspired by Thomas Vinterberg's own experience of growing up under the same roof as other middle-class families, writes BRIAN VINER.
The American author JT LeRoy is widely described, not least in this documentary, as a literary sensation. Which is all very well, unless you haven't actually heard of him, writes BRIAN VINER.
This is a decent follow-up to the 2013 original and again features Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga as crucifix- waving American ghostbusters Ed and Lorraine Warren.
MUSIC REVIEWS AND FEATURES
Still a Funny Girl, with a little help from her friends: Barbra Streisand's Encore is a theatrical tour de force, writes ADRIAN THRILLS
The first Barbra Streisand album for two years finds one of Broadway's greatest singing stars going back to show tunes. Subtitled Movie Partners Sing Broadway, it is witty, theatrical and corny.

OASIS
Be Here Now (Big Brother)
High on their own undoubted importance, Oasis delivered a bloated parting shot to Britpop with 1997s Be Here Now. Its songs were too long, with too many uninspired guitar solos, and this deluxe re-issue reiterates its position as the bands first misstep. Despite that, the bonus material has its appeal: forgotten B-side Stay Young is one of Liam Gallaghers finest moments; DYou Know What I Mean? is cleverly remixed by Noel.

ONEREPUBLIC
Oh My My (Interscope)
Having made his name as the go-to-guy for female singers aiming to conquer the charts, from Adele to Taylor Swift, OneRepublics Ryan Tedder keeps his best songs to himself here. His Denver quintet can veer too close to skilful pastiche (Ed Sheeran on Lets Hurt Tonight; Coldplay on Future Looks Good), but there are glimmers of real inspiration on the Peter Gabriel collaboration A.I. and power ballad Choke.

PIXIES
Head Carrier (Play It Again Sam)
The key US rock band of the late Eighties, Boston quintet Pixies unwittingly set the template for the subsequent grunge movement with their second album Surfer Rosa. Head Carrier sticks to a tried and trusted approach and, on All I Think About Now, even recycles a Surfer Rosa riff. The sparkle of original bassist Kim Deal is missed, although her replacement Paz Lenchantin does add dreamy, soprano harmonies. They can do better.

BON IVER
22, A Million (Jagjaguwar)
Justin Vernon (aka Bon Iver) dispenses with any conventional song titles or structures on an album that reverses his recent move towards the mainstream. The Wisconsin singer is a friend of Kanye West they played together at Glastonbury and the rappers influence is evident in his electronically enhanced falsetto vocals. Adele hailed Vernons last album as the soundtrack to my heart. She may not feel the same about this one, but it is still beguiling.

CRAIG DAVID
Following My Intuition (Insanity)
Craig Davids unlikely return marks 2016s most astonishing resurgence. A teenage star when his first album sold eight million, he was turned into a national joke after being mercilessly lampooned on the Bo Selecta! TV series. But heady comeback single When The Bassline Drops put him back in the charts, and he offers a familiar mix of pop, R&B; and two-step garage beats here. One track, 16, even references his 2000 single Fill Me In.

WALLIS BIRD
Home (Mount Silver)
Wallis Birds powerful voice veers from a whisper to a frenzied scream, and the Irish singer-songwriter uses it to dazzling effect on an album of raw, confessional love songs on which she also plays most of the instruments. The stripped-back title track is sung a capella, but a move from Dublin to Berlin has furnished her with a more European perspective, with the jazz-rock of her early records giving way to pulsing electronics on Odom.
