Spot the difference! Brad Pitt's body double gets to work on set of new zombie movie

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Double take: Brad Pitt's body double, left, was spotted on set of Brad's new movie World War Z in Malta yesterday


It was a case of double vision yesterday as Brad Pitt - and his body double - got to work on the set of the star's new movie.

The actor, 47, is shooting zombie film World War Z in Malta and had a stuntman on hand to help get the job done.

The stand-in wore an exact copy of the star's wardrobe and even replicated his stubble.

He was also seen getting a wig fitted for a wig in the same style as Brad's shoulder-length mane.

Of course, the double feature in any close-ups in the film, but instead steps in for the film's presumably dangerous action shots.

Brad's stuntman shares a near identical frame as the movie star, so viewers will likely be unable to tell the difference on the cinema screens.

So far Brad appears to be having a ball on the set of the new film.

He has also been getting visits from Angelina and the children too.

Earlier this week, his brunette partner of five years and two of their six-strong brood visited him on set.


Handsome: Brad is known for his smouldering good looks and has been voted People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive twice in 1995 and 2000


Zahara and Shiloh were given the chance at a behind-the-scenes look at Brad’s latest film.

The actor took a break from shooting scenes to spend time with his daughters and their 36-year-old mother.

The four members of the family enjoyed spending time together and were exploring the scenery as well as chatting to members of staff on the set.

The whole family have relocated to Malta while Brad films his new post-apocalyptic horror movie.

Brad plays the lead role of role of Max Brooks, an agent of the United Nations Postwar Commission who published a report a decade after the Zombie War.


Date night: Earlier this week, Brad and his partner Angelina Jolie enjoyed a meal at the De Mondion restaurant at the Xara Palace Hotel, where Brad enjoyed dinner with his ex-wife Jennifer Aniston, eight years earlier


Brooks scours the world collecting the stories and experiences of those who have survived the conflict that almost eradicated humanity.

The film, directed by Marc Foster, also stars Mireille Enos and Matthew Fox.

Earlier this week, the Hollywood heartthrob was also spotted wearing the wedding ring, sparking rumours that Brad and Angelina had tied the knot.


The big move: Angelina and the whole brood, seen here last week, have relocated to Malta while Brad films his new post-apocalyptic horror movie


Whether or not the jewellery is for Brad's role is unknown, but he was not wearing the ring when he dined with Angelina earlier in the week.

Brad had chosen a familiar restaurant for the romantic dinner date, the same eatery he had dined with his ex-wife Jennifer Aniston in 2003.

The couple enjoyed a meal at the De Mondion restaurant at the Xara Palace Hotel, where Brad enjoyed dinner with his former wife eight years earlier.

You Are Not Alone: Michael Jackson's children find strength in each other on the second anniversary of father's death

By NADIA MENDOZA

Siblings: Prince and Paris look happy and laid-back during their cinema trip
Earlier this week, they were presented with custom-made Michael Jackson memorial motorcycles.


Michael Jackson's children put on a brave face yesterday, just two days before the second anniversary of their father's death.

Prince and Paris' close relationship has helped them heal following the trauma of losing their role model.

The siblings, who bear a striking resemblance to one another, shared a joke and smiled together as they headed to the cinema.


Family friend Marcell 'Porkchop' Miller designed the bikes, plastering them with images of the King of Pop through various stages of his career.

The specially crafted vehicles will be driven through Forrest Lawn cemetery tomorrow to honour the Billie Jean legend.

On June 25, 2009, the award-winning idol died of acute propofol intoxication after he suffered cardiac arrest at his LA home.


Larking about: Prince makes his sister smille as he listens to his iPod in one ear


Jackson's hometown of Gary, Indiana - where he lived until 1969 - are also planning a tribute to mark his passing, and promise to do so every year.

Mayor Rudy Clay said: 'The world can expect a "Tribute to Michael" every year in June in Gary, Indiana. The world is invited.'

Prince and Paris are clearly doing their best to carry on as normal, despite the tragedy. The pair both opted for a casual look, dressing down in jeans and combat trousers, and wearing matching necklaces with identical pendants.


Symbolic? Both Prince and Paris wore matching pendants today


Despite only being 14 and 13 respectively, both teenagers looked older than their years, and could easily pass for 16 or 17.

Their uncanny similarity derives from mother Debbie Rowe, while half-brother Prince Michael II was born from an unknown donor through artificial insemination from a surrogate mother using Jackson's sperm.

Their little brother, usually referred to as Blanket, joined them and their cousins, Jermaine Jackson's children, in Thousand Oaks, California.

Ignoring sunny 21ºC temperatures, the group opted to hide in a cool auditorium instead of relishing the good weather outside.

Blanket, 9, didn't look quite as relaxed as his siblings, but did show off his jovial side with his T-shirt slogan.

The youngest member of the family wore a top with, 'Things for Today: Brush Teeth. Be Awesome' on it.

Now that's what you call Glamping! Wayne and Coleen Rooney arrive at Glastonbury by helicopter

By SIMON CABLE

Arriving in style: Coleen Rooney poses with Wayne's cousin Claire and friend Amy Louise Wilkinson next to their private chopper as they touched down at the Glastonbury festival


They have just spent the past few weeks lounging on a beach in Barbados. So it is understandable that the thought of camping in a tent at the Glastonbury Festival would not hold any appeal for Coleen and Wayne Rooney.

Instead, the couple have splashed out £15,000 making sure their stay is rather more comfortable — and certainly drier — than most other festival-goers this weekend.

Yesterday morning, they arrived with friends in a private helicopter which ferried them from their home in Cheshire to a luxury campsite next to the festival site.


Mrs Rooney couldn’t resist posting a photograph of herself arriving by helicopter on her Twitter page — wearing oversized sunglasses despite the gloomy weather.


The couple have hired a six-person Winnebago at nearby Windinglake Farm, advertised on the company’s website at £6,000 for the weekend, and have treated their friends to ‘podules’ — pop-up boutique-style hotel rooms — at the site.

Their Winnebago is fitted with leather sofas, a shower, televisions and a kitchen.

In addition, they have paid £270 for themselves and each of their party to make use of the facilities at the farm.


VIP style: The couple clutched their drinks as they made their way to the stage with their entourage


They have their own bar and restaurant, as well as a security service to ferry them the half-mile to and from the festival.

It is a far cry from most other revellers, who have paid £195 to camp in tents on the 900-acre Worthy Farm, with many struggling to find spots that were not waterlogged.


Glasto here we come! Wayne and Coleen Rooney set off for the Glastonbury festival


Slumming it in designer boots: Coleen chose a pair of £255 Hunter & Jimmy Choo wellies to stomp about in the mud in


The couple are with Wayne’s cousin Claire, Coleen’s long-time friend Amy Louise Wilkinson and her brother Anthony. In true WAG fashion, Coleen opted for a pair of £350 custom-made Hunter wellies with leopard-print lining.

The Manchester United star confirmed this month that he had undergone a hair transplant, but since then has kept it firmly tucked away under a baseball cap or hood.

Wayne and Coleen made a brief appearance on the Pyramid Stage yesterday for the start of blues legend BB King’s set, greeting crowds as they walked in, arm-in-arm.


Loved up: Wayne later tweeted a picture of himself and Coleen in the VIP area


Family day out: Coleen and Wayne leave the VIP area with Wayne's lookalike brother


The couple posed for a happy snap before setting off this morning, Coleen excitedly tweeting: 'Glasto here we come!!!!'

Manchester United star Wayne was suitable casual for the muddied festival grounds in a zip-up hoodie and T-shirt.

Despite their VIP arrival, the couple's festival getaway is far less glamorous than their most recent holiday.

The Rooneys jetted in from their luxurious holiday home in Barbados this week, after a holiday spent sipping cocktails on the beach.

The Rooneys are gearing up for a heady weekend of partying, shrugging off a callous interview by Helen Wood that was published today.

Miss Wood, who slept with Rooney while his wife was pregnant with the 20-month-old son Kai, has told ES magazine that she has 'no regrets over hurting Coleen.'

The 24-year-old former prostitute, posing naked, remarked: ‘I don't regret hurting her because the way I see it is, if you want to be a d*** get back with the person who cheated on you.’


Where's the VIP area? Somehow we doubt the Rooneys will be setting up their tent in the general camping section


Enjoying the atmosphere: Fans watch The Wu-Tang Clan perform at the Glastonbury Festival


But she added: ‘He is so unbelievably normal. Dead timid. Out of all the footballers that I've met I'll never know why he cheats.

'There's a lot worse than him. He reminds me of the boy at school who tried to be the lad's lad, but he's not.’

Wayne and Coleen are just two of the stars who have travelled to Glastonbury for the annual festival.


Famous faces: Jaime Winstone and Will Young were among the famous revellers


Mud-tastic: Professor Green (centre) also made an appearance at the festival


And, despite bad weather over the past few days, the Pyramid Stage speakers appeared to blow away the rain clouds today as the first major acts delighted the crowds amid glorious sunshine.

Mud-caked revellers got a reprieve from the downpours as the Moroccan act Master Musicians Of Joujouka and rapper Chipmunk got proceedings under way on the two main stages.

Sarah Chivers, 48, from Enfield, north London, is at the festival with her daughter Clare.


Luxury: Sara Cox tweeted a picture of the RV she is staying in at Glastonbury


Blondes have more fun: The Xtra Factor presenter Caroline Flack and MTV host Laura Whitmore also attended


She said: 'We've been here since the crack of dawn on Monday - it feels like we've been to three festivals before the acts have even started.

'We're most looking forward to U2 tonight - the line-up early on is pretty mediocre but it's better that way. The best is yet to come.'

As well as U2, Morrissey and US rap act Wu-Tang Clan were eagerly anticipated among the crowd.

New face, new man: Shane Warne plays smooth-faced English gent as he accompanies Elizabeth Hurley to Elton John's White Tie and Tiara Ball

By SARAH BULL

Red carpet debut: Elizabeth Hurley and Shane Warne leave the model's London home to head to Sir Elton John's White Tie and Tiara Ball


Shane Warne's new appearance continues to baffle and entertain in equal measure.

The 41-year-old Australian cricket star played the smooth-faced English gent as he escorted his girlfriend Elizabeth Hurley to Elton John's White Tie and Tiara Ball.

The pair, who have been dating since last December, cut quite a dash as they headed to the annual fundraising event held at Sir Elton and partner David Furnish's Windsor Home but the main talking point was Mr Warne's distinctly smoother face.



Smooth operator: Shane Warne as he was in 2005 and how he now looks six years on


The cricketer, who has built up a reputation as a stereotypical macho Australian 'bloke', appeared to be wearing make up to boost his looks.

He had his eyebrows shaped into a definite arch, perhaps styled by his own girlfriend, together with a goofy smoothed over hairstyle.

Also noteworthy was his distinctly smoother looking face, particularly the area around his eyes with the disappearance of his crow's feet.


You old smoothie: Shane Warne's altered appearance has led to speculation from some observers


Posed up: The couple, who have been dating since last December, looked smart in their outfits


In recent weeks observers have noted that the cricketer's formerly weathered, rough and ready appearance has altered somewhat thanks primarily to his weight loss, though he has rubbished any suggestion of surgery.

Last week, cosmetic surgeon Dr Shahab Mahdi told the Daily Star: "The difference in Shane's appearance is dramatic. In my opinon it looks as though he has had a facelift.'

His army of followers are not convinced either, accusing Shane of having a little help in the anti-ageing department.


The morning after! Shane Warne didn't look like he was recovering from a hangover today while strolling around London


Making a statement: Elizabeth opted for an animal-print gown which featured a long trailing train


One fan took to Twitter, saying: 'He looks like a waxwork, all plucked and sculptured.'

Another blogger from the social networking site wrote: 'How much surgery has shane warne had? Lol, the male version of jordan!'

However the 41-year-old bowler defended himself, retaliating with: 'Questions re faclift/ Botox etc are absolute rubbish.'



Home and dry: Liz Hurley wears Shane Warne's dinner jacket as they arrive back at her Chelsea home


New look: The cricketer has shed his rough and ready image for a more dapper, smooth look


The sportsman is believed to have lost around 22lbs over the last few months, largely due to his girlfriend's influence.

In fact, Shane has now completely changed the way he thinks about food, as he showed on his Twitter page when he asked his followers for advice on what to eat.

He tweeted: 'Feel like a hot pie with copious amounts of sauce with crinkle cut chips!! What the best pie?'


Stunning: Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie attended the event with their mother Sarah Ferguson


Hosts for the night: Sir Elton and partner David Furnish pose for photographers inside the party


But Shane then added just minutes later: 'NO Shane!! 78kg is target currently 82.5. Settle on a protein shake with an apple and banana - sob.'

In the fashion stakes Elizabeth stuck to her usual formula in a floor-sweeping animal-print gown.

She admitted to her Twitter followers earlier in the day that she had been struggling to decide what to wear.

She wrote: 'Off to Elton & David's White Tie & Tiara Aids fundraiser. Can't decide which dress......'

Meanwhile, Shane looked sharp in a black tuxedo which highlighted his recent weight loss.

Elizabeth and Shane looked happier than ever as they attended the ball, keeping their arms around each other and smiling for photographers.

And, in a recent interview, Shane said he was looking forward to spending more time with his gorgeous girlfriend.


Smile, Boris! Becker and wife Sharlely 'Lilly' Kerssenberg arrive at Sir Elton's Windsor home for the annual event


He said: 'She's a lovely lady. We get on really well and I'm spending a lot of time in England this summer, working for Sky.

'We'll wait and see what happens between Liz and I - but at the moment things are great.'

Earlier in the day, Shane was photographed arriving at Elizabeth's London home with a huge grin on his face and carrying a bag of golf clubs.

Elizabeth, 46, announced in December that she had split from husband Arun Nayar, after pictures emerged of her kissing cricketer Shane Warne in a hotel in London.
Following the pictures' publication, both Hurley and Warne hastily issued statements revealing that their respective marriages had been over for some time.

Since then, the new couple have been making headlines for their on/off romance, rendezvous in Australia and India and tabloid rumours of his alleged infidelity.

Elizabeth married Indian textile heir Nayar at Sudely Castle, near Winchcombe, Gloucestershire, in March 2007 - and had a traditional Hindu wedding at Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur, India.



New love? Glee star Matthew Morrison arrived hand-in-hand with a mystery woman


The ceremonies were attended by numerous celebrities, including Sir Elton John, who gave the bride away.

Announcing her separation from Arun, Liz tweeted: 'Not a great day. For the record, my husband Arun & I separated a few months ago. Our close family & friends were aware of this.'

She added: 'Painful, sad days. Arun & I separated for private reasons but FTR he has been a great father to our son Damian & will always be in his life.'


Date night: Noel Edmonds and wife Liz Davies arrive at the estate


Brunettes have more fun: Alexa Chung and Nancy Del'Ollio were among the invited guests


Dressed in black: The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo star Noomi Rapace arrives


Hours later, Shane, 41, took to his own blog to confirm that his tumultuous marriage to wife Simone was also over.

In a statement he said: 'Sadly and unfortunately, Simone and I split up a while ago, our close friends and family were informed at that time.

'It is a private matter so we did not make it public. We remain friends and will continue to be good parents.'

A notorious philanderer, Shane split from Simone, the mother of his children Brooke, 13, Jackson, 11 and Summer, 8, after a string of affairs, including a notorious sex text scandal in 2000 which saw him stripped of his Australian vice-captaincy.


Casual wear: Earlier in the day Elizabeth was seen out shopping while Shane later popped around to her house carrying his bag of golf clubs

Well, if it suits you...! Princess Eugenie recreates Ascot success with red gown at Elton John's White Tie and Tiara Ball

By SARAH BULL

If it suits you...! Princess Eugenie looked stunning in a corseted red gown by Vivienne Westwood at Sir Elton John's White Tie and Tiara Ball, which was similar to the Alexander McQueen dress she wore to Royal Ascot earlier this month


She won praise from fashion's fiercest critics when she arrived at Royal Ascot last week in a plunging, corseted Alexander McQueen dress.

So it's little wonder Princess Eugenie decided to attempt to recreate her Ascot success by wearing an incredibly similar red number to Elton John's White Tie and Tiara Ball.

The 21-year-old princess looked stunning in the Vivienne Westwood full-length gown, which was corseted to accentuate her tiny waist and feminine curves.

Eugenie teamed the dress with a pair of gold earrings, a nude-coloured clutch bag and matching nude peep-toe heels.

However, she had some competition to be the centre of attention from her older sister Princess Beatrice.

Beatrice, 22, also looked incredible in a nude Elie Saab net and flower gown, pulled in at the waist to highlight the extent of her dramatic weight loss.


Family night out: Eugenie attended the annual fundraising event with her sister Princess Beatrice and mother Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York


The royal is almost unrecognisable in a red Vi after shedding an astonishing amount of weight over the past year.

She was spurred into losing her puppy fat by pictures which showed her wearing a tight blue bikini in the Caribbean in 2008.

However, Beatrice said she was not ready for the barrage of criticism she received following the shots.


Lady in red: Eugenie won rave reviews from fashion's fiercest critics for her McQueen dress at Ascot


Svelte: The dress highlighted Eugenie's slim figure and drew attention to her feminine curves


She told the Daily Mail at the time: ‘It was such an unflattering bikini and I've got one that's so much nicer, so I could have kicked myself for wearing it.

'I thought people were a bit mean, although I know it comes with the territory. The trouble is, I don't have much confidence so it can be quite upsetting. I could probably do with losing the odd pound though, so perhaps it is the kick I need.'

Beatrice, who has faced a battle with her weight similar to that of her mother Sarah Ferguson, has previously put her transformation down to trainer Nadya Fairweather, whose help she enlisted in the lead-up to the London Marathon.

An emotional Lady Gaga wipes away tears as she remembers Japanese earthquake victims

By GEORGINA LITTLEJOHN

Compassion: Lady Gaga wipes away her tears as she remembers the victims of the Japanese earthquake at a press conference in Tokyo today


She donated more than £1million out of her own pocket towards relief efforts after the Japanese earthquake and another £500,000 from sales of her charity bracelet.

So it was no surprise to see the Lady Gaga compassionately shed a tear for the victims of the disaster which devastated the country in March.

The singer was at a press conference in Tokyo today to promote the MTV Video Music Awards Japan.


Choked up: The tears falling down her face, Gaga struggles to compose herself


She will be performing at the awards, which take place on Saturday, which have been renamed Video Music Aid Japan and will raise money for the Japanese Red Cross.

Today Gaga broke down as she spoke about her love for the country.

She said: 'I am always so inspired when I come to Japan, inspired by the spirit, the passion, the love, the absolutely infectious joy of Tokyo.'


Hello, Tokyo: Gaga arrived at the press conference in her new aquamarine wig and black Aladdin pants


And she encouraged people from all over the world to visit the country, which has seen a huge plunge in tourism since the disaster, the nation's biggest recorded earthquake struck.

It created a tsunami that caused widespread destruction and set off a crisis at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant about 140 miles (220 kilometers) north of Tokyo.

It killed almost 20,000 people, tens of thousands more were left homeless and thousands of others were forced to leave homes near the plant because of the radiation danger.



Please visit: Gaga urged tourists to come to Japan declaring it 'beautiful' and 'safe'


Wearing a long aquamarine wig, she said: 'I can't say enough to people all over the world that the majority of Japan right now, Japan in general, is very safe. It's fine to come here. It's beautiful.

'The most important thing, and the best thing, we could do for Japan right now is to boost tourism.

'I would like to use my position here today and all week long to run around Tokyo enjoy the beautiful city and kiss all the beautiful little monsters and scream at the top of my lungs that everyone should come visit this beautiful place.'


Thirsty work: Gaga sipped from a china tea cup which had Japanese characters that read 'Pray For Japan' across it


For luck: The singer kisses an Okiagari-Koboshi, a traditional Japanese doll


During the press conference, she sipped tea from a china cup that was painted with Japanese characters that read 'We pray for Japan'.

She was also presented with an 'Okiagari-koboshi' - which means 'getting up little priest' - a Japanese traditional tumble doll that is considered a good-luck charm and a symbol of perseverance and resilience

GaGa arrived in Tokyo on Tuesday, days in advance of her performance on Saturday's Music Aid Japan benefit concert which will be broadcast live to an estimated 30 million households in Japan, Korea, Singapore and China.


For her Little Monsters: Gaga stopped to sign autographs as she left a restaurant last night...


... and kept her faithful followers happy as she stopped to greet fans at the airport


Last night she was bombarded by fans as she left Shabuzen, a popular restaurant that specialise in a common Japanese dish called Shabu-shabu, which is a Japanese hot pot, in the trendy night life area of Roppongi, in Tokyo.

But ever gracious to her 'Little Monsters', she happily stopped and signed autographs for them, just as she did when she arrived at Narita International Airport.


Just put your paws up: Gaga gives her trademark claw-hand sign and then waves to her fans as she heads out of the airport
