Gabriella Cilmi


Two years after she was catapulted from obscurity into the charts with breakthrough pop hit Sweet About Me, Gabriella Cilmi is channelling a more mature look for her new album.

Having turned 18, Cilmi has put her teen pop days behind her for a sexy new style.

Promoting her second album and latest single Hearts Don't Lie, Cilmi strikes a sultry pose in a skimpy yellow swimsuit.


Despite her sexier image and recent photoshoot for FHM magazine, Cilmi insists she won't be a regular in men's magazines.

She said: 'I look at them and I laugh at them, because I know that they're not very representative of me, and who I am as a person, and what my music's about.

'I thought Pink's done it, Beyoncé's done it, all these people have done it, and I'm like, 'You only live once, why not give it a shot?

'Would I do it again? I don't think so. I guess you learn not to get caught up in the same stuff, you learn for next time. I don't regret it, but I wouldn't do it again.'

As part of her new disco diva image for her new album Ten, Cilmi shows off her dancing skills in variety of colourful dresses in the fast-paced video for Heart's Don't Lie.

In a recent interview, Cilmi admitted her dresses are so tight, she fears she may collapse.


Winning formula: Cilmi's new single sees her reteam with pop production house Xenomania


She said: 'I love the whole disco fever thing - but sometimes my dresses are so tight, I feel like my lungs are going to collapse.'

Hearts Don't Lie sees Cilmi re-team with English pop production house Xenomania, who have been responsible for most of Girls Aloud's biggest hits.

It's the second release from her new album Ten, which Cilmi describes as 'lots of uptempo funk and disco-inspired numbers designed to make people groove'.

Now based in England, the Melbourne-raised star admitted she's got a crush on young royal Prince Harry.

She told the Mail On Sunday's Live magazine: 'It's Harry's freckles that do it for me. They're so cute. In the very unlikely event that he asked me to marry him I'd have to decline.

'I'd never fit in at Buckingham Palace. If you'd ever seen me eat at the dinner table you'd understand. I attack my food. I need to wear bibs. My family have learnt to sit at a distance because my food flies everywhere. I don't think the Queen would approve.'

• Cilmi's new album Ten is on sale now. Her new single Hearts Don't Lie is out on June 7.

The £6m ad that's got Britain talking - and sobbing

Life-cycle: The £6m ad for John Lewis shows infancy, a birthday party, a clumsy kiss in a university corridor, marriage, parenthood and the path into old age


Sometimes we forget just how short and precious our time on this planet really is. It's for this reason that John Lewis's new television ad seems to have struck an uncharacteristic chord.

You won't find many people admitting to crying over the usual flood of formulaic adverts on our screens - yet this 'moving' ad has got Britain talking - and sobbing into their breakfast bowls.

At 91 seconds long, and costing £6million, the ad has been watched an incredible 100,000 times in the single week that it has been available on YouTube.

The premise is simple - the life cycle of a woman from birth to old-age. But like all classic ads - and this is surely destined to become one - this simplicity is where its strength lies.

The ad shows infancy, a girl's birthday party, a clumsy kiss in a university corridor, marriage, pregnancy, parenthood and the path into old age.

It is similar to the stunning 'life-cycle' sequence in the animated Pixar film Up, which moved many to tears.


Hit: At 91 seconds long, and costing £6million, the ad has been watched an incredible 100,000 times in the single week that it has been available on YouTube


Marketing technique: The prop department only used products available to buy in store at John Lewis


Its score is a reinterpretation of Billy Joel's Always A Woman, performed by Fyfe Dangerfield, of the band Guillemots.

Dangerfield now plans to release the track on May 3 and it could be destined for the top of the charts.

Although some viewers may find it too sentimental, it's actually a pretty modern picture of Britain. There are matriarchal figures, multi-ethnic relationships and children among the expensive patio sets.

Its message is 'treasure life and your family'. But as one wag pointed out: why is the entire advert - which must span 70 years - set in a single era?


Treasure life: The entire advert which must span 70 years is however set in a single era


Production: The advert was made using nine actresses to play the woman from infancy to old age

Who's steamed up the Tardis? The Doctor shares a passionate kiss with companion Amy

Passionate: The Doctor is caught off-guard as his companion Amy Pond grabs him for a kiss


Her revealing outfits have left fans in no doubt she is the most sexiest Doctor Who companion in the history of the hit science fiction drama.


*** Scroll down to watch video ***


Now Amy Pond is to appear in one of the most risque scenes the BBC show has ever seen as she forces herself on the Time Lord in her bedroom.

Viewers will be shocked to see Karen Gillan's character kissing the doctor played by Matt Smith as he is backed up against the side of his Tardis.

She even tells the 907-year-old Time Lord she doesn't mind if it is a just a one-night-stand - despite the fact he has already spurned her advances on a bed.

Wearing the trademark mini skirt, Amy even tries to undress the Doctor who briefly reciprocates when she kisses him before pushing her away in tonight's episode.

Quite how the more traditional Doctor Who fans will react to the scenes, which will air at tea-time, remains to be seen.

In a first for the show, Amy even jokes about how long it is since the Time Lord last had sex, makes suggestive innuendoes and provocatively lies down on the bed in front of him.


Heated: The Doctor responds and kisses Amy back but then pushes her away


It is unclear if she is acting out of character as part of a wider plot. When Billie Piper's assistant Rose Tyler lunged at the Doctor and kissed him in 2006 it was revealed that her body had been taken over by villain Cassandra.

The heated moment occurs when the attractive red-head takes the Doctor back home - when the Tardis touches down once again on the night before her wedding.

She then produces the wedding ring that she planned to don before she fled with the Time Lord.

And it becomes clear that Amy - who had been working as a kissogram - wants to do more than just talk as she begins flirting with him.


Scared: The Doctor looks horrified as Amy forces herself on him


Amy declares that fighting off the evil Weeping Angels, which feature in tonight's episode, has made her think about her life.

The flirty companion tells the show's hero that she has been thinking: 'About what I want. About who I want. You know what I mean.'

After he fails to get the hint, she then tells him 'Doctor in a word. In one very simple word even you can understand...' before she jumps on top of him on the bed.
He yells at her: 'You're getting married in the morning.'


Come here, sexy: Amy makes a pass at the Doctor after they land in her bedroom after fighting off the evil Weeping Angels


Geroff me! The Doctor spurns Amy and runs off the bed to the Tardis


Now in full seductress mode, Amy replies: 'Well, the morning is a long time away. What are you going to do about that?'

The stunned Doctor makes his escape to the other side of the room where the Tardis is parked, telling her: 'Amy listen to me I am 907 years old do you understand what that means?'

Amy: 'It's been a while.'

When he tells her the relationship could never work, she replies: 'You are sweet doctor, but I really wasn't suggesting anything quite so long term.' She then give him passionate kiss.


No escape: Amy is determined to get her Time Lord in bed


Then as if he has come to some revelation he says: 'I don't know why, I have no idea, but quite possibly the single most important thing in the history of the universe is that I get you sorted out right now?'

In a clear innuendo she replies: 'That's what I have been trying to tell you.'

The scenes are far cry from the more staid and stuffy days of William Hartnell and Patrick Troughton. But it is unclear how the modern family audience of the show will respond.

Actress Miss Gillan, 22, told Graham Norton about the scenes when she was interviewed for Monday's edition of his BBC1 chatshow. She told him that her long term boyfriend was 'cool' about the kissing.


You're getting married! The Doctor tries to push Amy away on the eve of her wedding day


She also said she was amused about being called the sexiest Doctor Who assistant ever.

Miss Gillan drew attention recently after she was spotted changing her outfit three times in a day.

Last week's episode of Doctor Who sparked outrage among 5,000 fervent fans - after ruining the cliffhanger ending with a trailer for a TV talent show.

The Corporation was forced to apologise to viewers after an animated cartoon of Graham Norton and an on-screen caption for entertainment show Over The Rainbow popped up during the gripping climax of the sci-fi television hit.

Thrilled: Olivia is happy to hear high praise from judges Piers Morgan, Simon Cowell and Amanda Holden

Jeff explains to Piers Morgan about the bandage: 'I had an operation on it last week to sort it out because I was snoring a lot at home.'

His act sees him stripping and using a skipping rope to Nelly the Elephant music.

Best pals Ruth and Chantelle, whose act is called Different Dreams also appear.

The pair, who first met at a bus stop, rehears at Chantelle's house. She tells the judges her mum is deaf so she doesn't get bothered by the noise. They perform their version of Barbara Dickson and Elaine Paige's I Know Him So Well.

Bystanders flee for their lives as space balloon overturns car in botched launch

When space balloon launches go wrong: A cloud of dust is sent up in the air as the balloon crashes to the ground in Australia today


Bystanders were forced to flee for their lives today when the launch of a giant space balloon in the Australian Outback went badly wrong.

The multi-million pound balloon - along with its heavy payload of scientific equipment - ripped from its mooring and careened across the desert, overturning an SUV.

One witness said she felt lucky to be alive after the car-sized, unmanned gondola hanging beneath the balloon careened out of control into the vehicle parked next to hers at the launch site near Alice Springs




Damage: Scientists inspect the damage done to their multi-million pound equipment after the crash today


The balloon was part of a research project by academics and students at the University of California, Berkeley, and several Taiwanese universities designed to study gamma rays in space from 25 miles above the earth.

As the huge balloon filled with air, it ripped from its mooring and dragged across the desert, crashing into and overturning a parked four-wheel-drive vehicle and strewing debris across a wide area before coming to a halt.

No-one was injured in the accident, which was captured on video by an Australian Broadcasting Corporation television film crew.


In the way: The balloon overturned this SUV when it ripped from its moorings


Debris: Scientists inspect the damage to the equipment


Alice Springs couple Stan and Betty Davies were in their car when the gondola broke free and came lurching towards them, hitting the vehicle next to them.

'We were sitting in our car and preparing to move it out of the way and we were actually within about a foot of being wiped out,' Mrs Davies told ABC.

The exact cause of the crash was not immediately known, though wind gusts were suspected.


Aftermath: The wreckage of the balloon is gathered up after the failed attempt


Ravi Sood, an astrophysicist from the University of New South Wales who was overseeing the balloon launch, said quick-changing wind conditions could cause difficulties for launching such large balloons.

'Ballooning, that's the way it happens on occasions but it is very, very disappointing. Gut-wrenching actually,' Mr Sood was quoted as saying by ABC.

Equipment was being recovered from the site, and Mr Sood said the team hoped to try again next month to launch the balloon.
