Funeral for Charlie Sheen's Two and a Half Men character to air during season premiere

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Killed off: Charlie Sheen's Two and a Half Men character Charlie Harper will be killed off in the new season of the show

He was dramatically fired from hit comedy series Two and a Half Men earlier this year, to be replaced by Ashton Kutcher.

But Charlie Sheen's character in the series, Charlie Harper, faces a somewhat stickier end in the first episode of the forthcoming season.

According to reports, the jingle writing womaniser will be killed off, with cast members past and present attending his funeral.


All change: Ashton Kutcher takes Sheen's place in a new promo for the new season of Two and a Half Men alongside Angus T Jones and Jon Cryer


Deadline.com reports that the hotly anticipated episode will open with a memorial service attended by several of Harper's girlfriends.

His beach side home will then go on sale, with real life celebrities viewing the house.

This is then likely to lead to Sheen's replacement Ashton Kutcher buying the house with leading cast members Jon Cryer and Angus T Jones somehow remaining there with him.

The two-part season opener has been shrouded in secrecy with reports from Deadline that some scenes will be shot on a closed set.

Sheen has moved on to other projects and is currently developing a new comedy series Anger Management.

Run out of garage space, Becks? David Beckham is in seventh heaven as he adds customised Ferrari to his car collection

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Hot wheels: David Beckham has a new car parked up on the driveway of his rent Malibu home, a stunning Ferrari 612 Scaglietti

It seems baby Harper Seven isn't the only new addition to the Beckham household - with this $300,000 Ferrari parked in the driveway of the family's Malibu summer beach house.

The black Ferrari 612 Scaglietti, complete with a customised number '7' logo, appears to be the latest motor in David and Victoria Beckham's collection of luxury cars.

Of course the number seven holds a special meaning for LA Galaxy star David - not only is it his daughter's middle name, but it is also his shirt number from his Manchester United days.

Customised: The sportsman has had a No. 7 logo added to the shiny black motor, a reference to his daughter Harper's middle name and his shirt number from his Manchester United days


The car was spotted taking pride of place in the driveway of the couple's rented Malibu mansion.

With a top speed of 196mph, it can accelerate from 0-60mph in precisely 4.2 seconds.

And without any customisation, the Italian motor costs in the region of $250,000 brand new.

By ALANAH ERIKSEN

Happy for some free time: Emma Watson smiled as she dined with friends at a cafe in Santa Monica

It's an awkward time that a lot of women can identify with - when your hair is too short to tie in a ponytail but still long enough to get in the way.

Millionaire Harry Potter star Emma Watson proved she was human after all as she flicked her hair out of her eyes on the streets of Los Angeles yesterday.

The 21-year-old first appeared on the big screen as a long-haired Hermione Granger in 2003.

She kept the trademark brunette tresses throughout the eight instalments before chopping her locks into a pixie-style cut last year.

Emma was seen yesterday enjoying some time off as she dining with friends at a cafe in Santa Monica before happily strolling around the beachfront city.

From 'Cole Cappuccino' to 'Katona Karrot'... Pippa Middleton's 'Royal Mocha' leads the celebrity tan tone scale as the most desirable shade in Britain

By JESSICA SATHERLEY

Choosing the right shade of fake tan can be a tough decision, but it has been revealed that Pippa Middleton is influencing British women to opt for a ‘Royal Mocha’ tone this summer.

Miss Middleton's glow has been named the most desirable skin tone by a new study which discovered the most and least desirable celebrity tans of 2011.

And as Pippa’s complexion came out on top, Kerry Katona’s ‘Karrot’ look left her at the bottom of the heap of the celebrity tan-tone chart.


Live chart: The models became part of the world's first tan-tone window display boasting celebrity branded skin shades at The Really Buff Boutique in London's Soho


Cheryl Cole’s ‘Cappuccino’ tan was the second most popular hue, followed by Amy Childs’ ‘Essex Copper’, Christine Bleakley’s ‘Burnished Bronze’ and Katie Price’s ‘Pricey Pecan’.

And yesterday six bikini-clad women were modelling the celebrity branded skin shades at a pop-up beauty salon in London’s Soho area.


Ready for summer: The bikini-clad models show off their fake tans for summer by holding beach balls with their celebrity branded shades


A team of experts, led by tanning guru James Harknett, studied over 100 female celebrities over a three-month period to identify the total of six distinct shades favoured by the rich and famous.

More than 2,000 British ladies then took part in the poll to vote on whose tan came out on top.

Pippa’s gorgeous glow dubbed ‘The Royal Mocha’ nabbed a whopping 60 per cent of the votes, closely followed by Cheryl Cole, who achieved 26 per cent of votes.

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Taking time out: Selena Gomez relaxed by the pool in Orlando on Friday

Selena Gomez took a break from her tour schedule for an afternoon of poolside fun in Miami.

The Disney star, who turned 19 earlier this month, slipped into pretty pink bikini to cool off from the Florida heat on Friday.

At one point, she untied her bikini top to avoid getting tan lines as she reclined on a sun lounger after taking a dip in the pool at a luxury Orlando hotel.

The performer, who kicked off her summer tour on July 24 in Costa Mesa, is travelling throughout the US on her Dream Out Loud tour for the rest of this month.

Her boyfriend Justin Bieber joined her for part of the tour last week and was spotted taking in some sunshine the following day in Miami.

Smoking hot: Miley Cyrus lights up the lake (and a cigarette) in a revealing bikini which shows off her slender figure

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Lighting up: Miley Cyrus smokes a cigarette while smoking a cigarette and holding her new puppy Floyd in Orchard Lake, Michigan yesterday

She may be famous for being a Disney star, but Miley Cyrus is starting to look markedly different from her Hannah Montana days.

The former Disney star sported a slinky grey bikini which showed off her slender figure and growing number of tattoos as she spent the day with boyfriend Liam Hemsworth at a Michigan lake yesterday.

And it seems the actress and singer has also developed a nasty habit as she was spotted lighting up several cigarettes while soaking up the sunshine.


Svelte: The singer and actress showed off her slim figure as she took a break on the lake with her boyfriend and several friends

The star was clearly having a great time as she carried her brand new puppy Floyd with her on the jetty, and clung on to him when she took a dip in the water, at Orchard Lake.

The pooch was by the singer's side all day, and she later changed into a white vest top and red patterned skirt to take him for a walk.

Later, the star took a ride on a jet ski with her Australian boyfriend, Liam, 21, who has just been filming his new role in the hotly anticipated film adaptation of The Hunger Games


A dog's life: Miley held her miniature pooch as she took a dip in the sea

It's clear that the Hannah Montana star's relationship with the actor - her co-star in film The Last Song - is firmly back on after the pair split briefly last year.

They were joined by Miley's friend, former star of reality show The City, Erin Lucas.

'Lake day with @erin_lucas and our bfs :),' Miley wrote on her Twitter page yesterday. 'We already put them do a coffee run but it's taking WAY tooo long!'


Romantic day out: Miley and Liam Hemsworth enjoy a jet ski ride together on the lake


Her new smoking habit comes in contrast to comments she made in her 2009 autobiography Miles To Go, according to the New York Post.

'I would never smoke,' she wrote. 'I always say that for me, smoking would be like smashing my guitar and expecting it to play.

'I'd never do that to my voice, not to mention the rest of my body,' she added.


Taking a break: After taking a dip, Miley lights a cigarette and chats to friends wearing a stripy towel, with her hair still wet from the water
