Now that's got to hurt: Drunk goes tumbling head over heels down two flights of stairs... and still walks away

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Steady approach: It starts off well for dinner-suited man as he grabs the hand-rail, left, but he is soon in trouble, right, as he falls flat


Most people like to let their hair down once in a while during a big night out on the town.

But this dinner-suited reveller took things to extremes when he rolled down two flights of stairs after being thrown out of an awards ceremony.

CCTV footage of his antics has now been posted online, showing the unfortunate middle-aged man's attempt to make his way home in all its glory.


Keep on rolling: The drinker tries to use his leg as leverage in his quest to stand up, left, before regaining some composure, right, half-way down the stairs


Starting behind the Savoy Hotel in central London where he had earlier been ejected from a theatre awards ceremony hosted by Stephen Fry, the man at first grips a hand-rail as he attempts the first few steps.

But his pace quickens and he falls on his face for the first - but not the last time.

Regaining his feet on the middle section of the steps, the middle-aged drinker is quickly in trouble again, rolling head-first over the hand rail.


Pole-axed: This time the man falls in style, falling over the central rail before landing on his head, right


Ouch: It's going to be a case of a very sore head in the morning for this chap as he lands flat, and right, he heads for home, his work on the stairs done


Worryingly, the man falls directly on his head before rolling to the bottom of the steps.

However, the ill-effects of concrete to the face appear only temporary as the mystery man dusts himself down, wipes blood from his head and weaves his way home.

Pippa returns to the scene of her triumph: The younger Middleton heads to the Goring Hotel for a beach party with her parents

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Life's a beach: Pippa Middleton glides out of the Goring Hotel in London where she attended a beach party held in their garden


Pippa Middleton was catapulted into the limelight after wearing 'that dress' at the royal wedding and last night she returned to where it all began.

The Duchess of Cambridge's sister accompanied her mother Carole and father Michael on a return visit to the Goring Hotel for a special beach party.

Her royal hotness, 27, looked great in a patterned dress by French label Maje which she cinched in with a beige belt.

Keeping things casual, Pippa accessorised with a bright purple cardigan and a pair of the same leg-lengthening nude L.K. Bennett court shoes worn by sister Kate to last week's Derby.



Chic: The Duchess of Cambridge's sister looked great in her floral patterned dress and purple cardigan


Oddly, her shoes were an almost exact match of those worn by her mother.

Carole Middleton's dress was also a similar cut to her daughter's, featuring a coloured hexagonal design matched with a silk belt tied around her waist.

Father Michael kept it simple in a black suit with a red tie.



Best foot forward: Pippa's shoes were almost exactly the same as those worn by her mother, Carole


The threesome, and some friends, visited private members' club Harry's Bar before returning to the hotel where they spent the night before the royal wedding.

They went back to The Goring to attend a beach party, held in the hotel's grounds where the owners have built a new beach bar.

Owner Jeremy Goring brought in Basil Charles, owner of Basil's Bar on the Caribbean island Mustique, to oversee the exciting project.

It is being built by Blue Forest, who specialise in über-luxury, sustainable tree houses and eco-lodges.

And the interior of the bar, while inspired by Basil’s, has been given some quirky touches of its own by The Goring’s interior designer, Russell Sage.

They have shipped in tons of sand, three fishing boats and a palm-thatched roof - as well as cocktails created by Basil.


Pin-up Pippa: Kate Middleton's sister smiles as she makes her way home


Pippa and her parents would have been able to choose from concoctions such as the Mustique Mule, the Hurricane David and Basil’s Rum Punch.

Earlier in the week, Pippa showed she had lost none of her athletic prowess by taking part in a triathlon.

Despite soaring temperatures, Kate’s younger sister earned a well-deserved medal after completing a 5km race in the GE Blenheim Triathlon, which takes place every year at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire.


Guests: Judith Chalmers and a male companion leave the Goring event


Dressed for the beach: Christopher Biggins wears a Hawaiian shirt and shorts to the event


Pippa was joined by two male friends and opted to do the running part of the competition while the boys completed tough swimming and cycling sections.

Dressed in a pink and grey vest, matching shorts, a £270 pair of Bulgari sunglasses and with an ankle tag to time her, Pippa breezed through her race, completing it in a time of 25 minutes and 30 seconds.

‘People were excited to see her,’ said Alex Coulson, an organiser of the event which attracted 6,000 spectators.

‘The boys completed their courses in good time and joined Pippa to run across the finishing line together.’

Pippa is well-known as a keen sportswoman. At Marlborough and Edinburgh University, she played hockey and tennis and, like her sister, works out daily.

'I only found out I was replacing Cheryl Cole when I read the papers', admits new X Factor USA judge Nicole Scherzinger

By SARAH BULL

Last to know: Nicole Scherzinger admitted to Graham Norton that she only found out she was replacing Cheryl Cole on X Factor USA when she read the papers


The ongoing X Factor saga has kept fans riveted with constant changes in the judging panels both in the UK and Stateside.

But now Nicole Scherzinger has revealed she only found out she would be replacing Cheryl Cole on panel of the U.S. show when she read it in the newspaper.

Recording an interview on The Graham Norton Show, which airs on Friday, Nicole said: 'I haven’t said this yet, but I think it’s official that I have been made a judge. It's an amazing opportunity.


Stunning: Nicole wore a tribal-print minidress as she performed her new single on the show


'I’m kind of finding out (what’s happening) along with everyone else. It’s kind of crazy to read about it in the newspaper first.'

However, Nicole said she is looking forward to working with music mogul Simon Cowell on the programme.

She told Norton: 'He is someone you can learn a lot from. But when we are in that room it’s all about the music and the talent and I focus on the contestants, its what I am really passionate about.'


New role: It was a quick pit stop for Nicole, who begins her X Factor duties in New Jersey on Wednesday


Show bosses officially announced yesterday that Nicole will indeed be replacing Cheryl, and will start her new role at the New Jersey auditions on Wednesday.

It emerged over the weekend that Cole had been invited to return to her role after being fired a fortnight ago, but the 27-year-old has snubbed the offer, leaving the Pussycat Doll free to take her place.

Fox, FremantleMedia North America and Syco TV released a statement on Monday afternoon announcing the news.


Famous friends: Also appearing on the show were Tom Hanks and Simon Pegg


What's that you said? Nicole gasps at one of Norton's famously close-to-the-mark jokes


Finally confirmed: X Factor officially confirmed on Monday that Nicole IS replacing Cheryl on the judging panel


Thanks but no thanks: Cheryl turned down Fox's offer to return to the U.S. version


The Graham Norton Show airs on BBC One this Friday at 10.35pm.

Princess for a day: Jessica Alba's daughter Honor celebrates her third birthday by dressing up in regal attire

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Happy Birthday to me! Jessica Alba's daughter celebrated her third birthday by dressing up as a princess for the day in New York


She is one of the most popular celebrity offsprings in the world, so it was quite fitting that Jessica Alba's daughter Honor celebrated her third birthday by dressing up as a princess for the day.

Accompanied by her mother, the three-year-old was spotted in the regal attire as they ventured out in Manhattan today.

She wore a badge on the front of the costume which said 'Birthday Girl' and clutched a toy doll.

Jessica, 30, was beaming as she proudly held her daughter's hand.

The actress, who is expecting another child this year, dressed casual and comfortable in head-to-toe black.

Her growing baby bump was clearly visible in a fitted tank top, paired with a sheer striped cardigan and high-waisted trousers.

Jessica accessorised with some chic strappy wedges, a beaded necklace and her obligatory Ray-Ban sunglasses.

Jessica's husband and Honor's father, Cash Warren was clearly absent from the outing today.


Proud mother: Pregnant Jessica proudly held onto her daughters hand


Last night Jessica attended the CFDA Style Awards in an orange and purple gown reminiscent of the outfit Cheryl Cole wore for the very first US X Factor auditions last month.

Even though she looked pretty in the gown, the flowing Diane Von Furtstenberg frock featuring a coral top with lilac billowing skirt, evoked memories of Cheryl's now infamous colour-blocking faux pas.

But rather than offend with a back-combed bouffant, Jessica wore her hair slicked back in a simple chignon up-do exposing some oversized earrings.

A source within the production team told The Mail on Sunday: ‘Obviously Cheryl is a gorgeous woman, but she turned up to the first day’s filming of The X Factor looking a bit weird in purple flares.

Everyone was talking about how she looked - but for all the wrong reasons.'

Meanwhile, Jessica has collaborated with International luxury jewellery and watchmaker Piaget.

The actress is the new face of the company's Possession range.

The new campaign was shot by renowned fashion photographer Patrick Demarchelier.

The Possession collection is said to 'represents a bond, an official or secret story of love or friendship.'

The 20th anniversary range is available in white or yellow gold, paved with diamonds or left nude.

How Suri Cruise, five, already has a $150,000 shoe collection

By TAMARA ABRAHAM

Fancy footwear: Suri Cruise, pictured in $110 Ugg boots (left) in March and purple satin heels (right) later that day, has a shoe collection believed to be worth over $150,000


She has always displayed a strong sartorial instinct, and has been wearing heels since the age of three. Now, it appears that in just a few short years Suri Cruise has acquired quite the shoe collection.

The five-year-old daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes has $150,000 worth of footwear in her closet, according to news reports published today.

And you'd be unlikely to spot any Stride-Rite among the young fashionista's array, as sources claim she already has a taste for high-end labels such as Christian Louboutin and Marc Jacobs.


Sartorial instincts: Suri is regularly seen in heels, despite her tender age, and her mother is even believed to have commissioned bespoke pairs for the five-year-old from her favourite designer labels


They say Ms Holmes, 32, has even been getting her favourite designers to custom-make shoes for Suri, to accommodate her little one's penchant for heels.

A source told Star magazine: 'Suri has so many designer shoes.

'She’s a massive fan of Marc Jacobs and she’s had several shoes custom-made, so if they didn’t come with a heel, Katie had them redesigned for Suri. She commissioned a pair of Louboutins for her a while back!'

They added that Suri is insistent in her fashion choices, turning to tears if she doesn't get her way


Flat out: Despite her precocious penchant for heels, Suri also has an impressive array of ballerina flats, including designs by Marc Jacobs (left), and is almost never seen in the same pair twice


But $150,000 on shoes is small fry compared with the rest of the youngster's wardrobe, which is believed to have a value of $3.2million.

She has been spotted out in a $2,140 Dolce & Gabbana trench coat, and last year she was spotted with an $800 miniature version of her mother's Ferragamo bag.

Last month Suri even came 21st in a list of Glamour magazine readers' style icons, beating Lady Gaga and Sarah Jessica Parker in ranking.
