She's one shady lady: Caroline Flack practices safe sun as she covers up in a floppy black hat on Miami beach

When most celebrities hit Miami Beach, they usually make the most of the sun - and paparazzi - by stripping down to a bikini. However, Caroline Flack has been rather more sensible on her Florida holiday this week, spending plenty of time in the shade and covered up. Rather than overdo the tanning, the Xtra Factor host has been seen covering up from the hot midday sun in T-shirts and hats or hiding under the shade of her cabana. Beach life: Caroline Flack looks chic in a black hat as she relaxes in her cabana on Miami Beach Shady lady: Caroline made sure she didn't spend too much time in the blistering sunshine The brunette and her presenter pal Laura Jackson arrived in Miami for a girlie holiday earlier this week.

Doting mother Elizabeth Berkley clutches her son Sky as the pair step out for baby class

The Showgirls star clutched son Sky, nine months, as she took him to music class in Beverly Hills.

BAZ BAMIGBOYE: A hot potato for Lady Mary as she takes on new lead role

Downton Abbey star Michelle Dockery is in negotiations to play the lead in the movie adaptation of best-selling novel The Guernsey Literary And Potato Peel Pie Society, set during and after World War II. Michelle has been offered the role, but there’s no deal in place yet. But various parties involved hope the actress will be available to start preparing for filming after shooting ends on the fourth series of ITV’s Downton in August. New role? Michelle Dockery is in negotiations to play the lead in the movie adaption of the book The movie, based on Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows’s tale of a magazine writer who uncovers the story of a book society, established on Nazi-occupied Guernsey in order to fool curfew patrols, is being directed by Simon Curtis. Mr Curtis happens to be married to Elizabeth McGovern, Michelle’s Downton screen mother. Curtis took over as director from Kenneth Branagh, who had planned to make the picture with Kate Winslet.

Oddball comedy drama Bernie is trying something different that's not quite working

U.S. writer-director Richard Linklater has made a weird little biopic about a real-life, small-town mortician and murderer, well loved in his local community of Carthage, Texas. The role is embraced by Jack Black, who is on good, if muted, form. He makes Bernie a well-intentioned, churchgoing innocent, cruelly exploited by the affluent widow (Shirley MacLaine) he was eventually accused of slaughtering. The reason this is a curious film is that it’s interspersed by mockumentary footage of locals (played by actors but often quoting real witnesses) enthusing about Bernie. Little sympathy is extended towards his victim. Jack Black doesn't quite make it all the way as Bernie One resident even comes out with the justification: ‘It’s not as bad as people say — he only shot her four times, not The story is too one-paced and monotonous to capture a big audience, and falls midway between comedy and drama, but Black gives his most nuanced performance in years.

Inside the Box with DAN WOOTTON: Phillip Schofield pays out for 'paedo list' stunt

When Phillip Schofield handed the Prime Minister a list of names of supposed paedophiles on live TV last November, he had no idea the ten-second stunt would end up personally costing him tens of thousands of pounds. Until now it’s been widely assumed that ITV would put up the majority of the libel payout to Lord McAlpine, whose name was briefly visible on a card that the 51-year-old presenter handed to David Cameron during his appearance on This Morning. However, I’m told Phillip has agreed to split the £125,000 damages plus legal costs, meaning he will lose at least £62,500 from his £1million salary this year. Doing the honourable thing: Phillip Schofield has agreed to split the the libel payout to Lord McAlpine, whose name was briefly visible on a card that the presenter handed to David Cameron on This Morning Libel pay out: A technical fault was blamed when the list accidentally flashed on screen on This Morning, meaning Lord McAlpine's name was

He's quite the romantic hero in real-life too: Eddie Redmayne

The actor, 31, and his publicist lover were spotted hand-in-hand as they left the Bluebird Cafe on the King's Road in Chelsea. Low-key: Eddie Remayne and his girlfriend Hannah Bagshawe leave the Bluebird Cafe in Chelsea on Wednesday At one point, the pair stopped for a romantic clinch on the pavement.

Gone with the wind! Alessandra Ambrosio accidentally shows off her perfect pins as her split maxi skirt blows up in the breeze

As a Victoria's Secret model, she regularly shows off one of the most enviable figures on the planet. And so perhaps it was unsurprising that Alessandra Ambrosio looked unflustered when her maxi skirt fluttered up to reveal a great deal of her toned legs as she went shopping on Thursday. The star's daringly split grey maxi skirt was no match for the Los Angeles wind and it blew up to reveal her well-toned thighs.

Iron Man nails it: Witty one-liners, a droll superhero and Gwyneth Paltrow beating up baddies -

Comic-strip superhero movies are not exactly noted for intelligence, wit or humour. Iron Man 3 is the welcome exception. The big asset of the series has always been Robert Downey Jr as the billionaire playboy, talkaholic and unrepentant sex addict Tony Stark. He is a nerd’s bedsit fantasy, a brilliant scientist and inventor who’s impossibly wealthy and irresistible to women. The director and co-writer is Shane Black, who — way back in the Nineties — was the highest-paid screenwriter in Hollywood but now ranks as Tinseltown’s most underrated talent. Scroll down for trailer Magnetic hero: Robert Downey Jr. as eccentric genius, billionaire, philanthropist Tony Stark, better known as Iron Man He’s hardly a household name and seems to have done nothing for the past eight years, so a few reminders of his quality may be necessary. He burst onto the scene in his early 20s with screenplays for Lethal Weapon 1 and 2, unpretentious buddy movies that skilfully mingled
