THE BIG PICTURES
Geordie Shore's Sophie Kasaei leaves NOTHING to the imagination in sheer bralet for dinner in the Toon
The reality star flashed more than expected as she peeled off her denim jacket to reveal her sheer bra and eye-popping assets beneath.
The 53-year-old Friends star put on an animated display with her man as they returned from a trip to New York, after Johnny, 41, joined his band for an appearance on The Late Show.
The actor, 37, hid behind cardboard held up by a woman as he puffed away on his cigarette ahead of the screening of his film Seven Stages to Achieve Eternal Bliss.
Alessandra Ambrosio, 37, highlighted her envy-inducing figure in a crop top and zebra print underwear as she lounged around in the sun.
The television personality was praised by fans when she decided to showcase 'all her flaws' in a fresh-faced snap via Instagram on Friday
Caprice, 46, shows off her age-defying good look in sweeping satin gown at swanky London bash
The 46-year-old model was every inch the star as she departed up-market bar Annabel's while rocking a sizzling red gown with an asymmetric hemline.

THE BIG READS
For all the brilliant magic in Harry Potter And The Cursed Child, which has crossed the Atlantic and landed on Broadway, where it will run . . . probably for ever ...
Emma Thompson (pictured) has written the show's book, basing it on the 2005 film which she adapted from Christianna Brand's Nurse Matilda stories - originally published in the Sixties.

The actress, who appeared alongside Gary Oldman in Darkest Hour, has been cast in the film musical All You Need Is Love, written by Richard Curtis and directed by Danny Boyle.
The Hollywood star is expected to play Max, the daddy in MotherFatherSon, an eight-part thriller by Tom Rob Smith, alongside Billy Howle.
REVIEWS
As if The Guernsey Literary And Potato Peel Pie Society were not enough of a mouthful, it comes from the producers of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.
John Krasinski, who directed, co-wrote and stars in the superb A Quiet Place, might get more respect next time he arrives in England, writes BRIAN VINER.
Deeply disturbing films about disturbed people can make compelling cinema, and Scottish writer-director Lynne Ramsay may have done just that.
Three gigantic mutated animals against Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson is not a fair fight, but director Brad Peyton spins it out for nearly two hours in Rampage.
Anyone who wants to plunge back into the Eighties this Easter Weekend can either go to see Nik Kershaw in concert in Bridlington, or see Ready Player One at their nearest multiplex.
Sci-fi film A Wrinkle In Time is a bit of a mess and owes a fair amount of its box-office appeal to the presence of Oprah Winfrey, writes BRIAN VINER.

THE WANDERING HEARTS
Wild Silence (Decca)
Theres an appealing rawness to this debut. A male-female quartet with a folk-rock penchant, their harmonies will elicit comparisons with Fleetwood Mac, but the acoustic instrumentation looks more to country, with Fire And Water a lively hoedown and Burning Bridges a nostalgic ballad.

VARIOUS ARTISTS
Fifty Shades Freed (Island)
The final instalment of the film trilogy has yielded an uneven but entertaining soundtrack. It mixes new material from stars such as Sia and Dua Lipa with pop newcomers. The most intriguing inclusions come from emerging Californian singers Kiana Ledé, Sabrina Claudio and Julia Michaels, who steal the show.

THE SKIDS
Burning Cities (No Bad)
Scottish punk pioneers The Skids show a real sense of urgency on this bracing comeback, their first album in 37 years. They race through the first ten songs without pausing for breath, slowing the pace only on the atmospheric closer Desert Dust. Singer Richard Jobson is a galvanising presence, while Bruce Watson wisely avoids trying to emulate the angular guitar sounds of the late Stuart Adamson. With the band now back on tour, this is a distinguished return

THE ROLLING STONES
On Air (Polydor)
'Our policy is to produce an authentic Chicago R&B; sound, said the Stones to the BBC in 1963, and these early radio sessions are steeped in the blues. With Brian Jones on superb slide guitar, they tackle Bo Diddley and Muddy Waters, making On Air a distant cousin to last years Blue & Lonesome. The rough and ready originals also catch the ear, including Satisfaction and a forceful The Spider And The Fly. >★★★★

Wembley Or Bust (Sony)
Recorded at Wembley Stadium in June, this CD/ DVD celebrates ELOs flawless blend of pop and classical. Rockaria has some suitably operatic flourishes, while the overblown 10538 Overture was the template for Oasiss Be Here Now. Lynne is more of a craftsman than he is a showman, but its hard to resist the melodic sweep of Mr Blue Sky, Xanadu and the Traveling Wilburys Handle With Care.
