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.

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.


Cooling off: The star risked a wardrobe malfunction as she took a dip without her swimsuit properly tied up

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.

Hinting he has been in a rather romantic mood of late, he wrote on Twitter that same day: 'What makes you so beautiful is that you don't know how beautiful you are... to me.'


It's a tough life: Selena's boyfriend Justin Bieber enjoyed the Florida sun too as he emerged from his hotel in Miami on Saturday

He also had a great deal of affection for the city too, adding: 'I LOVE MIAMI.'

The 17-year-old was spending time with singer Sean Kingston, who recently recovered from a jetski accident.

Bieber describes the star as a 'real friend.'

He is taking a month off to relax with his pals - and of course Selena - before beginning work on his next album.

Gomez is set to perform in Atlanta tomorrow night.

You could have made an effort! Wayne Rooney dresses down as he takes a glam Coleen for a romantic meal returning home from tour

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Casual look: While Coleen was glammed up for their romantic date Wayne Rooney looked scruffy on Saturday

He has been away on a pre-season tour with Manchester United for three weeks so upon his return Wayne wasted no time in taking his wife out for a romantic meal.

But it appears that he didn’t have enough time to smarten up and looked scruffy in comparison to Coleen who had clearly put in the effort for their dinner date at the weekend.

The pair dined at Gusto restaurant in Alderley Edge on Saturday but Wayne arrived in a pair of ripped jeans, black trainers a grey polo shirt and a black sports jacket.


Didn't read the dress code? As the couple arrived at Gusto in Alderley Edge Wayne looked scruffy compared with the man in suit walking past

Meanwhile Coleen looked lovely in a cream lace dress with a structured jacket and a pair of nude Louboutin heels.

And adding to her outfit the WAG had her hair piled up on top of her head in an oversized bun with a pair of gold drop earrings.

As the couple pulled up, Wayne's attire was highlighted as a smart couple walked into the restaurant ahead of them, with the man wearing a dapper suit.


Mixed style: While Coleen had dressed up in a cream lace dress with a smart jacket and heels Wayne wore a pair of scruffy jeans and a sports jacket

Wayne has been on tour playing football in the U.S. and earlier today he tweeted that he was glad to be back home.

He posted: ‘Back home with @ColeenRoo and Kai. Nice to be home. Edwins game on Wednesday. Looking forward to it.’

Pictured: Michael Douglas and wife Catherine Zeta-Jones smoking... seven months after he beat throat cancer

By CHRIS JOHNSON

Up in smoke: Michael Douglas smokes what appears to be a cigarette while aboard a yacht in the Italian Riviera last month

In January Michael Douglas proclaimed he was confident he'd beaten throat cancer.

But as these photos show, it seems the 66-year-old is struggling to keep his nicotine addiction under control.

The Hollywood actor is seen here smoking what appeared to be a hand-rolled cigarette while aboard a yacht on a recent holiday in the Italian Riviera.


Double trouble: His wife Catherine Zeta-Jone was also seen puffing away during the break

His wife Catherine Zeta-Jones, who supported her husband through his stage IV cancer battle last year, was also clocked with a cigarette in hand during the break.

To many, the image of the couple smoking just seven months after Douglas returned to health may come as a something of a shock.


Hard habit to kick: A recent study showed that it is not uncommon for cancer patients and their family members to continue smoking after diagnosis

However, statistcs show it is not uncommon for people who develop cancer to continue smoking after diagnosis.

A recent U.S. study by Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center found that up to 18 per cent of lung cancer patients continue to smoke after discovering they have the illness.

And around 25 per cent of family members also kept up the habit, despite having watched their loved one's battle the condition.

Abbey goes cardinal! Mrs Crouch looks fierce in fiery figure-hugging red frock on rocking night out with new husband Peter

By JODY THOMPSON

Red hot: Abbey Crouch looked sensational in a figure-hugging scarlet dress on a night out with new husband Peter at Gilgamesh in Camden, London last night

They only just got back from their honeymoon in Ibiza last month - but Peter Crouch and his new wife Abbey looked they were carrying on the party last night after an evening carousing at London's glitzy Gilgamesh.

Abbey, 25, looked flaming hot in a skintight strapless red dress and nude strappy Louboutin heels to show yet again that she's lost every inch of her baby weight since giving birth to first baby Sophia Ruby four months ago.

The couple looked as if there were having a rollicking night out as as they left the north London restaurant and bar made comedy rock signs in the back of the car that was taking them home.


Rocking out: The model and her footballer spouse looked like they'd had a wild night out and were throwing hand signs in the back of the car taking them home


Wild night: It was hard to tell who had more fun, Peter or his new wife


In fact, it was hard to see who was having more fun, leggy model and TV presenter Abbey or her Tottenham and England footballing star husband, 30.

Clearly, the new parents, who both work, felt the need to let off some steam.

Abbey has also gone back to work already and announced last week, that unlike Zara Phillips, she would be taking her husband's surname and was leaving Clancy behind with her single days.


Last minute adjustments: Abbey made sure her strapless dress didn't slip as she made her way to the car


Home, James: By the looks of it, the pair would be needing Alka Seltzer when they got up for baby Sophia Ruby's morning feed today

Charlie Sheen in dramatic 'rescue of ex-wife Brooke Mueller from rehab in Mexico via private jet'

By JODY THOMPSON

Gallant act: Charlie Sheen is said to have 'rescued' ex wife Brooke Mueller, the mother of his twin sons seen here in March, and is paying for her to undergo rehab in the States

He's been there himself and reckons he knows the best way of dealing with addictions - and Charlie Sheen has staged a dramatic intervention in an attempt to help ex wife Brooke Mueller get clean.

As previously reported by MailOnline, Brooke, 33, had tried twice to leave the States to go on a controversial 'extreme' rehab in Mexico, and apparently, made it on the third attempt.

But 45-year-old Sheen was worried that the radical regime, which was to use drugs not even licenced in the U.S., could kill her - and flew in his private jet to rescue her.


Winning: Charlie Sheen, seen here in Los Angeles last month, is said to be paying for her ex wife's treatment


TMZ reports that the former Two And A Half Men star has decided he'd rather have Brooke Mueller go through the same treatments he recently underwent so he's brought her back to put her into rehab in America and he's paying.

The star apparently flew down to Mexico in a private jet, picked her up, and brought her back to the States after she'd only been south of the border for 12 hours.


Happier times: The couple in 2009 with Charlie's daughters from his marriage to Denise Richards


Sheen has brought on board a team of expert doctors and Brooke has been installed at a secret location and he's paying for the whole thing.

There has been no confirmation about the dramatic rescue mission from Mr Sheen's people to MailOnline as yet, however.

The reality TV star had been planning to head to Mexico to undergo treatment with the controversial drug Ibogaine, to stop her cravings for illegal drugs.

Anything Dad can do... Becks and sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz strike a stunning pose on their surfboards as they paused for photo op in Malibu surf

By SARAH BULL

Strike a pose: David Beckham and his sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz put on a show for the paparazzi in Malibu by leaning on surfboards with their hands on their hip

He usually only strikes a pose if there's a hefty number of zeros after the pound sign.

But David Beckham fooled around with his three sons in front of the paparazzi while playing in the Malibu waves.

The football ace, along with Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, 8, and Cruz, 6, propped themselves up on their surfboards, gave their best brooding glance and perched their other hand on their hip.


Like father, like sons: The Beckham boys appear to have adopted David's sporty nature as they all hit the waves together in their wetsuits


Hiding: After posing for the photographers, David and his sons appear to be shielding themselves from the paparazzi behind their boards


Gordon Ramsay and his family, who are close friends with the Beckhams, also had a dip in the water.

The celebrity chef was spotted visiting the ever-growing brood this weekend.

However, after meeting baby Harper Seven, Gordon still managed to squeeze in some surfing with pal David, as the pair hit the waves with their families.


Surfin' USA! Gordon Ramsay hit the surf in Malibu, California, with close friend David Beckham and their families after visiting his new goddaughter Harper Seven



Smiles all round: The pair appeared in good spirits as they showed off their surfing skills in the sea


Donning a wetsuit, Gordon laughed and joked as he tried to catch the best waves with David's oldest son Brooklyn.

Despite reports Gordon has been asked by the couple to be Harper's godfather, the Beckhams' spokesperson insisted there were no plans to have their daughter christened, adding their younger son Cruz hadn't been christened either.


Let's get this one! Brooklyn can't hide his excitement as he prepares to boogie board on a huge wave with Ramsay

Also on the day out was Gordon's children, Megan, Jack, Holly and Matilda, as well as his wife Tana, who gave the surfing a miss, instead choosing to soak up the sunshine on the beach.

Meanwhile, Victoria was also absent from the beach, instead choosing to stay inside with baby Harper in the luxurious $150,000-a-month mansion the pair are renting for the summer from Steven Spielberg.


Getting tired? Beckham's boys have been photographed surfing frequently over the past few weeks


Going again: Little Cruz Beckham looked as though he coudn't get enough of the surfing action


The seven-bedroom, ten-bathroom mansion was custom-built for Spielberg and looks out on to what has been called 'the most exclusive piece of sand in the world'.

Pierce Brosnan, Dustin Hoffman, Danny DeVito and Goldie Hawn all live in the area.

A neighbour said: 'It's very peaceful and relaxing for the Beckhams. I've seen Victoria on the beach watching the dolphins with the family. She must feel like she's in heaven.'

A source close to the Beckhams, who are worth an estimated £165million, said: 'As soon as Victoria saw pictures of the house she told David it was the perfect place to relax and recover after the birth of the baby.

'David didn't think twice and signed a lease straight away.'


Scream! Brooklyn looks slightly scared as David lifts and throws him in the water



What's so funny? Earlier in the week, Beckham was pictured messing around in the water with his three sons


Since then, the footballer and his sons have been frequently seen on the beach, often with their bulldog Coco.

Earlier this week, David was spotted snapping pictures of his three boys catching the waves in Malibu - and it seems the trio are becoming keen surfers thanks to the amount of time they have been spending in the sea in recent weeks.

Victoria has yet to be seen following the birth of baby Harper on 10th July, apart from a Twitter picture of the former Spice Girls star with her beautiful little girl.

And David recently revealed baby Harper is already a fashionista in the making, with a growing collection of fashionable garments.


Clinging on: Cruz holds tight to his father as they enjoy the sunshine and the warm water


Wet and wild: David displayed his muscular physique in a black pair of swimming shorts and surf top


Speaking about the two-week old baby girl, the former England captain, 36, said: ‘Everything Victoria’s put on her so far looks amazing, she's got a great wardrobe already.

'My wife is going to definitely take care of that.’

And even though Victoria had to have a fourth caesarean, Beckham said the couple were still keen for ‘one more’ baby.

He said: ‘Are we done now or will we see any more in the future? We'd like one more.

'We've always said we'd love a big family and five was the number. If we're lucky enough, then we hope to have one more. Victoria's doing amazingly well. So we'll see.'

Zara's VERY merry wedding knees-up: A vodka fountain, takeaway chips and why Tindall didn't reach bridal suites until 2pm

By REBECCA ENGLISH, REBECCA EVANS and DAVID WILKES


Dishevelled but happy: Zara leaves Holyrood House the morning after the wedding party, while Mike Tindall, still in his morning suit well into Sunday, takes stock of the impressive surroundings

Even by their own spectacular standards, it was one heck of a party.

After a night of hard-drinking revelry with their wedding guests, Mike Tindall and his royal bride Zara Phillips did not arrive back at their suite in the Palace of Holyroodhouse until 2pm yesterday.

While Zara had managed to change into her favourite flip-flops, skinny jeans and a baggy linen top, Tindall was still wearing his morning suit and had clearly not been to bed.


Well groomed: What a contrast! A perfectly coiffured, delighted Mike and Zara leave Canonbury Kirk en route to Holyrood House where the revelry that would continue well into the following afternoon got underway


The dishevelled features of many guests bore testimony to the excesses of Saturday night. Prince Harry’s eyes looked as baggy as his denim shirt and jeans, while Zara’s brother Peter spent 15 minutes trying to work out how to get his golf clubs, daughter Savannah’s push-chair and wife Autumn’s hat box into the boot of his car.

He then accidentally drove off with Tindall’s kit bag and had to bring it back ten minutes later.


All partied out: Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie take home a flower arrangement each


Despite the presence of the Queen and every senior member of the Royal Family, Saturday’s wedding had got off to a less than auspicious start when the broken-nosed groom turned up to church chewing on a piece of gum accompanied by his best man, fellow rugby player Iain Balshaw, complete with black eye after falling off his moped.

And the post-ceremony reception, held at the 12th Century palace, Her Majesty’s official residence in Scotland, was even less regal. Guests knocked back ice-cold shots from a vodka fountain while morning-suited revellers nipped out for takeaway chips in the early hours.


Baggy eyes, baggy shirt: Prince Harry yesterday


Fortunately, the Queen had already left in order for the ‘young ones to let their hair down’ – a gesture she might well live to regret when she gets the cleaning bill.

And it wasn’t just the youngsters who over-indulged. Zara’s father, Captain Mark Phillips, was found snoring in an armchair in his hotel bar at 2.30am.

As one royal source said: ‘It was just a family knees-up. Your archetypal wedding, really. Except with a lot of royals and rugby players. And a lot of drinking. In fact make that a hell of a lot of drinking.’

Here, we reconstruct the events of a very untraditional royal wedding.
