Standing at just 5ft 2in, Kim Kardashian is a bit too small to be a supermodel.

But in these latest snaps taken on her recent holiday to the Dominican Republic, it looks like she treats the walk to the pool like a catwalk.

Showing off her hourglass curves in a bright orange bikini, the reality star looks toned and tanned.

The pool is your catwalk: Kim Kardashian shows off her amazing curves in an orange bikini on holiday in the Dominican Repubilc

The sexy shots are the latest in a selection of photos taken during the recent Kardashian-Jenner family holiday to the Dominican Republic.

The large clan rented a $6,000-per-night 35,000-square-foot villa at the Casa De Campo complex on the Caribbean island.

The trip marked the Kardashian's annual family holiday following on from their trip to Bora Bora last year.

At the time, Kim was accompanied by her now-estranged-husband Kris Humphries, who ended up proposing to her weeks later.

Lap of luxury: Kim embarked on a low-calorie diet in a bid to get her body ready for the photos

Although Kim has been dating rapper Kanye West since before going to the Dominican, it may be a bit too early for him to join her on holiday.

No doubt it will be a bit overwhelming for Kanye to be subjected to scrutiny by the protective family so soon into a relationship.

And of course, as Kim is still legally married, the hip-hop star may well be biding his time out of respect.

Ahead of her trip to the Dominican, Kim embarked on a quick fix diet to get her figure bikini ready.

She lost 10lbs in 10 days after following the Sunfare's 1,300 calorie-a-day meal-delivery programme.

-One-year-old Hayley was 'overlooked and neglected'
-Doctors were 'arrogant and unprofessional'
-Parents were repeatedly told there was 'nothing to worry about'


By Andy Dolan


A mother driven to despair as her baby daughter lay dying in hospital bribed a nurse with a £100 gift voucher in the hope of improving her care.

Hayley Fullerton died of heart failure within a month of her first birthday after doctors ignored Paula Stevenson’s pleas to transfer the little girl to an intensive care unit.

In the weeks leading up to Hayley’s death, Miss Stevenson became so concerned about the ‘brutal’ care her daughter was receiving that she tried to bribe one nurse to stop her daughter being ‘overlooked and neglected’.

Yesterday, the 40-year-old told an inquest: ‘I was out of my mind with worry and was so upset. The doctors were arrogant and unprofessional.

‘I tried to express my concern to the nurses, I even bought a £100 gift voucher in an attempt to bribe one of them.

‘I hoped the other nurses would hear about it and look after Hayley in the hope they would get one too. But nothing worked.’

Hayley had been diagnosed with a hole in the heart before she was born, and was admitted to Birmingham Children’s Hospital for corrective surgery when she was ten months old.

Miss Stevenson said that while the operation was a success, complications arose during Hayley’s recovery after doctors inserted the wrong size tube into her lung, causing it to collapse.

The inquest heard Hayley’s parents became increasingly concerned that their only child was struggling to breathe and looked ‘puffy’ – but were repeatedly told by medics that there was nothing to worry about.

When her lung collapsed for a second time, Hayley was put in an isolation ward, despite Miss Stevenson and husband Bobby Fullerton begging doctors to transfer her to intensive care.

The couple and Hayley’s grandparents, Sylvia and Edward Stevenson, kept a vigil at her bedside, but Hayley died in November 2009 – four weeks after the corrective surgery.


Hayley Fullerton was born with a hole in her heart, and had to undergo surgery aged 10-months-old to correct it

It was during the recovery from the surgery when complications arose, ultimately leading to her tragic death

A report by the hospital concluded that there had been failings in the little girl’s care and said Hayley may have survived if there had not been.

Miss Stevenson, who kept her maiden name after marrying Mr Fullerton, said that the more she complained about her daughter’s treatment, the worse it seemed to become.

She added: ‘All Hayley did was sleep. What was happening to her was destroying me.

‘Hayley’s experience at Birmingham Children’s Hospital can only be described as brutal.’

Miss Stevenson and Mr Fullerton live in Australia, but Hayley was born in Northern Ireland, where Miss Stevenson grew up, so that her family could be around her. The couple took her to Birmingham Children’s Hospital for surgery because it is a major centre of paediatric cardiac care.

The inquest continues.

Sultry star: Cheryl Cole has released a teaser to clip to her upcoming video for new single Call My Name, which shows her looking hot to trot in a pair of tiny hotpants

She first gave a glimpse that the video for her new single was set to be a sultry affair when she set about filming the promo in a sexy pair of hotpants last month.

And now that the full version of her highly anticipated track, Call My Name, is about to be released tomorrow, Cheryl has now posted another teaser clip online.

Ever the fan pleaser, the Girls Aloud star has sent excitement into fever pitch by releasing the footage.

Scroll down for video...

What a tease! The Girls Aloud star has given a glimpse of the promo a day before its full release

And she certainly looks her best as she writhes around in a tunnel wearing a pair of revealing leopard print shorts, which showed off her toned legs.

Cheryl, 28, can be seen sauntering into the tunnel wearing the tiny get-up, which she matched with a floral print crop top and bright jacket.

She flings her toned body back as the camera zooms into her pert derriere and thighs.

And in other images from the 53-second clip, Cheryl shows off her toned midriff as she changes into some baggy colourful trousers, a tiny neon yellow cropped top and another blazer.

Cole wears her hair up in a big ponytail for the video as words print across the screen, saying: 'The only way to a woman's heart is along the path of torment... Marquis De Sade.'

And she sexes up her image as she spins around with the wind blowing her locks in her face.

It was only a few weeks ago that Cheryl was seen filming the video in Los Angeles as she dressed to impress to act out the scenes.

Feedback from listeners flooded social networking sites immediately, and the star 'retweeted' a number of positive responses.

The reaction on Twitter was overwhelmingly positive, with many commenting that Call My Name is set to be their 'summer anthem.'

The single is the first release from her third album A Million Lights, which is available to download on June 18.

The album features collaborations with Alex Da Kid, Lana Del Rey, Jim Beanz and newcomers Pantha and HyGrade and her manger will.i.am.

The single will be Cheryl's first release since The Flood in January 2011, which charted at No.18 in the UK charts.

She's ready to give birth any day now and is also engaged to be married, but that hasn't stopped Chantelle Houghton from badmouthing a former lover.

The 28-year-old star slammed footballer Jermain Defoe in her weekly magazine column following reports that he has cheated on his current girlfriend Alexandra Burke.

Houghton referred to her own relationship with the Tottenham Hotspur player and advised the X Factor winner to 'ditch him.'

Now and then: Chantelle Houghton is expecting a baby with Alex Reid (L) but has blasted her former lover Jermain Defoe (R)

'I have heard that Jermain Defoe has allegedly slept with another woman behind Alexandra Burke’s back,' the blonde started her new! magazine column with.

'All I can say is that I really wouldn’t be surprised if it’s true, because he cheated on me too! I think that he’s a nasty little rat and should concentrate on scoring on the pitch rather than off it!' she added.


Already strained? The footballer is alleged to have cheated on X Factor winner Alexandra Burke


Forgetting her troubles: The singer laughed off the rumours as she performed alongside hunky male dancers at the weekend

Houghton - who is expecting her first child with Alex Reid - dated Defoe for four months back in 2009 but revealed that she wishes she'd 'never got involved with him.'

'I hate the way he treats women. Anyway, how did he ever pull Alexandra Burke in the first place? I don’t know her, but I would definitely encourage her to ditch him.'

It was alleged last week that Defoe enjoyed a hotel fling with Geordie model Laura Brown, 23, in Newcastle, having met her in person only twice previously.

However, Burke wasn't letting the allegations get her down and still performed at the weekend surrounded by a group of hunky male backing dancers.

Brown now reportedly says that she regrets the incident and feels sorry for singer Alexandra.

According to The Sun, Brown said that she had become friendly with Defoe, 29, via Facebook, admitting: 'I’m not going to lie - we did have sex.'

She reportedly added: 'I never planned on sleeping with him, it just happened.
'You can see girls in Newcastle clubs week after week with different footballers and I think, "You are so stupid," now I’m the stupid one.'

Fitness fanatic: Miley Cyrus walked her dog and did Pilates today in LA

She's been looking incredibly thin lately, and the reason may be Miley Cyrus' obsession with exercise.

The 19-year-old starlet was caught out not once but twice today in skimpy workout gear.

This morning she was spotted in tiny Lycra bicycle shorts, a black bra and grey tank top walking her dog in Studio City, California.


Alaskan Klee Kai Floyd led her owner around as they frolicked in the sunshine.

Her legs looked endless in the brief exercise bottoms, which showed off almost too much of her skinny thigh.

Later in the day she changed into a different grey top and black yoga trousers to take a pilates class in West Hollywood.

Disappearing star: The Hannah Montana star has been looking awfully thin as of late

Her flat midriff was on full display, and her hip bones were startlingly visible.

She has been caught out almost daily doing some form of exercise or another.

She has furiously maintained that she is not, in fact, anorexic, after a series of reports suggested that she was suffering from the eating disorder.

She took to her Twitter page to debunk the rumours, claiming her weight loss was due to a dietary allergy.

Miley wrote: 'For everyone calling me anorexic, I have a gluten and lactose allergy,' she wrote on her Twitter account yesterday. 'It's not about weight it's about health. Gluten is crapppp anyway!'

She told one fan: 'Everyone should try no gluten for a week! The change in your skin, physical and mental health is amazing. You won't go back!'

Miley's frame has been noticeably slimmer lately - in comparison to just seven months ago during a performance on stage in November.

Fans of the former Hannah Montana star became concerned about the star after after she recently tweeted a photograph of herself inhaling the contents of a Carl's Jr takeout bag.

Optical illusion: Kris Jenner cleverly shed pounds in a flattering frock while leaving her NYC hotel today

She's the oldest of the Kardashian women, but Kris Jenner looks just as good as her daughters do.

The 56-year-old matriarch wowed this morning as she stepped out of her New York City hotel in a snug Stella McCartney frock.

Her daughters clearly get their curves from their shapely mother, who looked fantastic in her Octavia Stretch Dress.


The black side panelling created an optical illusion effect, narrowing the reality star's already slender figure.

She paired the ensemble with a bright coral statement necklace and a demure pair of black heels.

While Kris was all smiles as she exited the Gansevoort Hotel in Manhattan's trendy Meatpacking District, it has been reported that she is furious with her daughter
Khloe after speculation emerged the youngest Kardashian sister wants to end her reality show with her husband Lamar Odom.

According to Radaronline.com, the mother-of-six has been trying to convince the 27-year-old that Khloe and the basketballer need to stay on air.

She and her family members have signed a $40 million, three-year contract to remain on the E! network with their series 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians'.

In fact, she's already envisioning another way that she and her daughters can make some money in the form of yet another reality show.

'Crazier things have happened' she told the New York Post.

She adds that she fully support 32-year-old Kim should she actually run for mayor of Glendale in five years time as she has stated she would.

Changing shape: Kerry Katona weighed around 9 1/2st during her holiday in Dubai in March (left), while she famously gained two stone post-liposuction in June 2009 (right)

Just three and a half years after undergoing £15,000 worth of surgery, Kerry Katona has had more liposuction.

The reality star revealed she had a secret liposuction operation last month and tiring of the sagging skin around her stomach.

Despite her fitness regime and dieting over the past few years, the 32-year-old found she couldn't do much to improve the elasticity of the skin around her midriff.

She writes in her OK! column: 'Right now I'm high as a kite on painkillers because I'm recovering from a tummy tuck.

'No matter how much weight I lost, I couldn't get rid of a pocket of skin that hung like a kangaroo pouch.'

Last week, the former Atomic Kitten singer spent £8,500 on lipo and a 'tightening' procedure of her stomach, legs and bum.

Weighing around 9 1/2st when she went in for surgery, Kerry is hoping she will lose 1 /1/2 stone taking her to her goal weight of 8st and giving her 32C-26-34 measurements.

After giving birth to four children, like many mothers of large families, Kerry struggled to try and reverse the actions pregnancy had done to her body.

She caused controversy when she first underwent liposuction in August 2008 to get rid of her baby weight because she had only given birth to her son four months earlier.

Although she had lost 2st following Maxwell's birth in April 2008 and had recently been made bankrupt, MTV footed the bill for her surgery, which took the 5ft 3 star from 12 stone to 8 stone.


Yo-yo dieter: Kerry was a healthy size 10 before going into the Celebrity Big Brother house last July (left), and pictured looking trim after her 2008 liposuction in January 2009 (right)


As well as liposuction, she also had her 34GG breasts reduced to a 34DD.

But by June 2009, she had piled back on two of the six stone that she lost.
But by February 2010, she was back to a size 10 and 9st 3lbs after enrolling at boot camp.

She kept up the good work all year and in December released her fitness DVD Kerry Katona Real Fitness.

In January 2011, she underwent a non-surgical treatment called Mesosculpt to get rid of her stretchmarks.

Last October, she revealed she had gained a stone while in the Celebrity Big Brother house, complaining she looked 'fat', despite being a size 10.

In January this year, she revealed she piled on the pounds again over Christmas, but managed to lose a stone following a post-holiday detox, leaving her tipping the scales at 9st 4lbs.

She said: 'After having four kids, I’m not confident about my belly. When Max was born in 2008, I was offered liposuction for a TV show - and I think I’d have it all if I could get it for free.

'In the past few weeks, my arms have become super toned. I feel like Arnold Schwarzenegger... but I still hate my stomach.'

She admitted she wanted liposuction 'if I could afford it'... but it appears now she can.
