Make mine a plus three: Pregnant Jessica supported by daughter Honor and husband Cash at Spy Kids premiere

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Blooming beautiful: Pregnant Jessica Alba looked radiant today as she attended the premiere of her new movie Spy Kids 4: All The Time In The World in Hollywood

She's due to give birth any day now.

But Jessica Alba still managed to squeeze in a public appearance today as she attended the premiere of her new movie, Sky Kids 4: All The Time In The World, today in Hollywood.

The stunning actress was supported by her husband Cash Warren and three-year-old daughter Honor at the event.

Red carpet royalty: The actress wore a full-length maxi dress with a star pattern

Jessica looked stunning in a floor-length black and white, star patterned maxi dress.

She wore her hair in a stylish updo and cradled her bump as she posed for photographs on the red carpet.

At one point her co-star Joel McHale jokingly hid her burgeoning belly behind his suit jacket as they had a group snap taken along with Jeremy Piven, who also appears in the film.

The movie is the fourth in the Spy Kids franchise, but the first time Alba has had a role.

We're coming too: She was supported by her husband Cash Warren and three-year-old daughter Honor

She plays the part of retired spy Marissa, who is thrust back into action along with her two step children, played by Rowan Blanchard and Mason Cook, after maniacal Timekeeper (Jeremy Piven) attempts to take over the world.

In a recent interview, Alba revealed that her three-year-old daughter thinks she is old enough to 'drink vino and drive'.

Little Honor Marie is set to become a big sister when her mother and dad Cash Warren welcome their second child later this year.

Cute: the father and daughter share a giggle as they arrive to support Jessica

And appearing on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Alba said her new status has convinced Honor that she is ready to become an adult.

'She's excited, she says she's going to actually be the mommy [and] I'm going to be the grandma. That's the way she phrases it,' she said.

'My girlfriend asked her, "Are you excited about being a big sister?" And she's like, "Yeah, because I'm going to be a grown-up. I'm going to drink vino and drive."'

Now that's dedicated support! Miley Cyrus gets her SEVENTH tattoo... an inking on her finger in recognition of gay rights

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Dedicated support: Miley Cyrus has got her seventh tattoo, this time in support of gay rights

Most people who promote a cause might usually do some volunteer work or perhaps donate some money.

But singer Miley Cyrus has taken one step further in showing her support for gay rights, by getting a new tattoo.

The 18-year-old got inked for the SEVENTH time, showing off the new design on her finger via her Twitter account.

Show cause: The singer got the 'equal' symbol etched on her middle finger, writing on Twitter: 'All LOVE is equal' in reference to a campaign was launched by the Gay & Lesbian Rights Lobby

The singer got the 'equal' symbol permanently etched on her middle finger, writing on Twitter: 'All LOVE is equal'.

It appears that Miley is referring to The All Love is Equal campaign launched by the Gay & Lesbian Rights Lobby.

Miley has been very vocal on gay rights in the past.

Earlier this month, when Casey Anthony was infamously acquitted for the murder of her daughter Caylee, Miley tweeted: You know the world is skewed when people get away with murdering children, but we cant get gay marriage legalized in the state of California.'

More ink: Just over two months ago she picked up her sixth tattoo, an anchor design whilst on her Gypsy Hearts tour in Brazil

With love: Miley also has an outline of a love heart on her pinky

Spiritual: Miley has a dream catcher on the right side of her ribcage, which she acquired earlier this year

Recently a leaked photograph of the singer getting her dream catcher tattoo done leaked online.

The photograph shows a topless Miley lying down and clutching a shirt to her chest to cover her modesty.

Lydia Bright and James Argent show they're stronger than ever with loving display in Marbella

By SARAH BULL

Stronger than ever: The Only Way Is Essex stars Lydia Bright and James 'Arg' Argent showed they are back together with a loving display while on holiday in Marbella this week

Thousands of The Only Way Is Essex fans were left devastated when James 'Arg' Argent and Lydia Bright revealed they had split earlier this year.

But now it seems the couple have put their differences behind them and rekindled their relationship.

Lydia and Arg showed they are stronger than ever by putting on a loving display while on holiday in Marbella, kissing and cuddling as they relaxed in the sunshine.

Kisses and cuddles: Arg looked smitten with Lydia as he struggled to keep his hands off her while they relaxed int the jacuzzi

Wearing a tiny red polka dot bikini and a white cowboy hat, it was little wonder Arg struggled to keep his hands off his svelte girlfriend.

The couple made the most of their time off together, and enjoyed a relaxing dip in the pool as well as the jacuzzi at The Sisu Boutique Hotel and Spa in Puerto Banus.

The breakdown of Lydia and Arg's relationship was shown on the second series of The Only Way Is Essex, following a series of arguments stemming from Lydia's belief that Arg was cheating on her.

Beach bodies: While Lydia looked stunning in her red and green bikini, Arg still has a way to go on his weight loss quest

And despite his insisting that he had been entirely faithful, Lydia decided Arg didn't treat her well enough, and ended the relationship.

But Arg refused to accept that it was over, attempting to win Lydia back with flowers and heartfelt phone calls.

In the finale of season two of The Only Way Is Essex, Arg was seen pleading with Lydia to give him another chance, after she arrived at Mark Wright's pool party with another man.

Soaking up the sun: The loved-up pair smiled at each other as they enjoyed the warm weather

I love you! Lydia grins as she draws a heart on Arg's chest with her suncream

Now it seems Arg's determination to win back his girl has paid off, as he confirmed on Twitter earlier this week that the pair were back together.

He wrote on his Twitter page: 'Very proud of my beautiful GIRLFRIEND @LydiaRoseBright.'

A proud Arg then added: 'We're back together guys!'

The next series of The Only Way Is Essex is due to start on ITV2 this autumn.

Fashion Event - sass & bide for Myer

sass & bide designers Heidi Middleton
and Sarah-Jane Clarke

To celebrate the launch of the sass & bide concession stores, Myer hosted an evening for guests to view the latest sass & bide collection and meet the talented designers, Sarah-Jane Clarke and Heidi Middleton. Guests were treated to music, champagne and canapes as they browsed the racks of brightly coloured clothes. The new range is true to the sass & bide aesthetic of bold prints and colours, mixed with intricate detailing.

Heidi and Sarah-Jane were so lovely and down-to-earth, making time to mingle with all the guests. They both looked amazing in their beautiful clothes which were accessorised with bright accessories.

With Myer and David Jones battling it out for Australian fashion supremacy, Myer's acquisition of a 65% stake of sass & bide for $42.24M in February this year, sent a clear message to David Jones (who previously stocked sass & bide) that they were getting serious about fashion. Myer chief executive Bernie Brookes indicated that Myer had big plans for sass & bide and hoped to expand their range to potentially include perfume and accessories.

Sass & bide concession stores were rolled out across 30 Myer stores in an amazing 15 days to co-incide with the label's latest collection. Brookes indicated the brand would maintain its independence, with Myer looking to leverage of sass & bide's experience in fashion and design to help with marketing and visual merchandising.

In a time when the Australian retail economy is struggling, the move to Myer couldn't come at a better time for sass & bide. Heidi and Sarah-Jane have come along way from selling jeans at London's Portobello Road market in 1998 and I have no doubt this talented duo will continue to do amazing things on the Australian and international fashion scene.

Thanks to Myer and sass & bide for hosting such a wonderful evening!

Check out some of the pictures from the night:
