He's got specs appeal! Justin Bieber heads for Tokyo in a pair of uber-geeky glasses.

Justin Bieber arrived at the airport in Hawaii yesterday wearing a pair of very geeky thick black-rimmed glasses. The pint-sized popstar was en route to Tokyo, and he clearly wanted to make sure he landed there looking cutting edge. This isn't the first time the 16-year-old has worn glasses out in public, with a red pair and a white pair that he's experimented with in the past.

Specsy! Jusin Bieber departs from Hawaii wearing a very trendy pair of glasses


Bizarrely, the white plastic specs comprised of just the oversized frames and had no glass in them at all. But, let's face it, at this point Bieber is so adored by his fans that he could step out in a bin bag and still get mobbed.
The pop star wowed the crowds when he attended the Jewish wedding of his guitar player and musical director Dan Kanter in Toronto on Sunday. To the delight of the wedding guests, Bieber grabbed the microphone and took to the stage to belt out a few songs.


Teen dream: Justin was in Hawaii as part of his My World tour


Accompanied by two very foxy backing singers, he sang and danced on stage. The groom soon reclaimed the spotlight by picking up a guitar and playing along with the star, who had taken off his yarmulke to get down on stage. Despite his energy, Bieber is clearly exhausted by all the travelling he's doing as part of his My World tour.


Do you think I'm specsy? Justin gets mobbed by young fans outside the GMTV studios in London back in January


And he took to Twitter to talk about it. He says: 'crazy we lost a day in the air. basically flown around the world in the last 2 weeks. middle of the night here but my body is confused. 'Very excited because back home its Tuesday morning and my book is finally out!!!! First Step 2 Forever!'

'That's just not funny mummy': Angelina Jolie reveals her six children are her toughest critics.

Who needs a director when you have six very opinionated - and honest - children? Angelina Jolie has revealed how her brood of six children became a regular fixture on set while she recorded her new animated movie Kung Fu Panda 2. Describing them as like a 'focus group' she said they became 'part agents, part managers'.

Promotional blitz: Angelina Jolie, with Kung Fu Panda 2 co-star Jack Black, has revealed how her children sat with her as she recorded the animated movie


And they certainly didn't hold back when it came to expressing their opinions. Jolie told USA Today: 'They'll sit in a room and say, "That's just not funny,"' admitting the scrutiny from her children keeps her 'competitive'. The 35-year-old actress, who voices kung fu master Tigress, has six children with partner Brad Pitt - Maddox, aged nine, Pax, aged seven, Zahara, aged six, four-year-old Shiloh and two-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne. The elder three are adopted. But despite their brutal honesty - and thinking co-star Jack Black was 'cooler than mommy' - Angelina says bringing them along to recording sessions was very rewarding. 'We've got kids of all ages so we joked that we had our own focus group.' And while she was prepared for them to get impatient watching her speak into a microphone, it actually worked out quite well. 'When they're there and they hear you making kung fu sounds and jumping around, you can see them giggling through the glass it makes you go that much further.'

However, Jolie did admit she had concerns regarding the adoption issues raised in the flick, especially when they visited the Dreamworks studios to see a rough cut of the movie.
'I wondered how they'd respond to the themes of the film,' admitting that herself and Pitt were 'sensitive to see if there was going to be a big discussion that night about adoption and orphanages'.
But in the end there were no questions. As Jolie explains: 'That's because we talk about those issues at my house all the time, very openly.
'We've had those discussions so often, they're such happy, wonderful discussions.'
Kung Fu Panda, the original, was 'one of the kids' favourite movies,' Jolie said. And reinforcing how they inspired her during recording, she explained: 'If you look at your own children, you want to do something you know will be better than the first one.'
However, the Oscar-winning actress conceded that she did have hang-ups about the sound of her voice.
While she would usually have her brooding good looks and presence to light up the screen, animation is clearly different.
Jolie told the publication she hates the sound of her own voice.
'You know, when you hear your own voice, you can find it quite boring and uninteresting.
'Suddenly, you get very shy that your voice is not enough, because I'm not musical and I don't know my voice.'
Kung Fu Panda 2, which is released on May 26, marks the third animated film between Jolie and Black.
Before the original, in which they both featured, they also paired in the 2004 flick Shark Tale.

The pregnant actress appeared on the Jimmy Kimmel show to promote her new movie Something Borrowed. She was later accompanied by her fiancĂ© and the father of her baby, Muse rocker Matt Bellamy, as she left and was then decidedly more dressed down. Hudson had changed into a long flowing brown dress, a cream cardigan and wore flip flops as she exited the television studio.

Hudson is starring in the upcoming romantic comedy which also stars Ginnifer Goodwin and John Krasinski. The star, who is due in July, has been busy promoting the film both in New York and Los Angeles. The Almost Famous actress revealed yesterday on Live With Regis and Kelly that she has a pet name for her fiancĂ© and like to call him her 'baby daddy'. 'It’s weird to say fiancĂ© to me, I like baby daddy,' she said. 'So he’ll be baby daddy until he’s hubby.' Hudson, who is currently in her third trimester, also revealed that it was the shows' host Kelly Ripa who had encouraged her to pursue Bellamy after bumping into him at Coachella music festival last year.

Waiting: Kate says she and Matt have not found out the sex of their baby and want it to be a surprise

'When we first met, Kelly and I were working out together and she kind of gave me the wink and said "I like this guy for you,"' she said. She also revealed that it is fate she ended up with a British man. 'What's funny is even before I met Matt, I was going to get a flat there. I shot Nine in London. I've shot twice there and have a whole life with lots of girlfriends.  'I was constantly online looking at properties and then, lo and behold, I meet my man, my baby's daddy', she added. Earlier in the day, Kate was spotted wearing the same white dress on the Ellen DeGeneres talk show where she was all smiles despite admitting her pregnancy was making her 'exhausted.'

'I get really exhausted,' she told Ellen. 'More tired, more sick, more everything.' Kate and Matt can't wait to meet their child, but refuse to find out ahead of time whether they are having a boy or a girl. 'I looked at Matthew and said: 'We're almost there',' says Hudson. 'It's so easy to find out.' 'But this way, there's no expectation on what the baby is. You're not thinking about what they look like. You're literally just going: 'Is it a boy or is it a girl?', she told USA Today. The actress already has a seven-year-old son, Ryder, with her ex-husband Black Crowes singer Chris Robinson.

Tracey Emin goes minimalist after having breasts reduced from size 34G to 34DD.

One of her most famous works listed everyone she had ever slept with, so you would hardly think of Tracey Emin as a shrinking violet.But there is one thing about the controversial artist which can now accurately be described as shrinking – her breasts.Miss Emin, 47, flew to the U.S. recently for an operation to reduce her ample bosom from a 34G to a 34DD.

She said: ‘If you haven’t had children and you’ve got really big breasts, your breasts get bigger and bigger. My neck ached, my back ached, and I just thought, enough is enough.’The artist, who was left unable to have children after having an operation for endometriosis, said she developed a large chest after starting to take the contraceptive Pill at 14. Since then her breasts ‘grew out of control’, she added.

She said she was confident, felt beautiful in herself and was a poster girl for bigger women in Brentwood. But it seems The Only Way Is Essex star Gemma Collins changed her mind and has decided to lose some weight after all.The curvy car saleswoman, who is nearly 17 stone and wears a size 20 dress, was seen working up a sweat as she was put through her paces during a gruelling fitness session lead by a No.1 Boot Camp trainer.

The reality TV star was happy to let it all hang out, dressed in a tiny work-out top which she had tucked under her breasts, and a pair of Lycra shorts.The outfit, which did little to flatter her fuller figure, will no doubt draw comparisons with the pictures that emerged of weather girl Clare Nasir when she embarked on a fitness regime which saw her slim to a size 6. 

But Gemma is not looking to undergo such a dramatic transformation and a spokesperson for the reality star told MailOnline she is simply hoping to become more healthy.
He told MailOnline: 'Gemma is heading to a week-long boot camp where she will be looking at her diet and seeking nutritional advice.'

'She is exercising to become more healthy and a healthier shape.'Collins, who has often spoken about her crush on fellow TOWIE co-star Mick Norcross, was seen skipping, boxing and jogging and certainly didn’t seem to slack during the tough training which took place just over two weeks ago.However, her bid to lose weight comes after she has spoken about her confidence with her voluptuous figure on numerous occasions. 

DVD due soon? The pictures of Gemma will no doubt be compared to the 2010 snaps of weather girl Claire Nasir who was snapped working out (left) in a lime green lycra two piece before dropping down to a size 6

Collins took part in a revealing photo shoot for heat magazine and said: ‘If I had to walk down a catwalk next to Kate Moss, I would. As long as I could have a tan and heels, it'd be absolutely fine!’‘I'm not perfect, but I am confident and I feel beautiful. I'm a size 18-20 and almost 17 stone, so I'm doing it for us bigger girls.’

She added: ‘Some people are like, “Gemma, why don't you get the weight off?” and I say, “Cos I feel sexy!” The day I feel gross is the day I'll do something about it - but I don't.‘I love my boobs, and I've got a little waist. My hips are a little bit fat, but you've got to shake what your mama gave you!’Gemma joined her fellow TOWIE stars last night for the wrap party to celebrate the end of series two of the hit show. The final episode of the series, which aired last night, showed Gemma bursting into tears after thinking that Mick Norcross, who she has openly admitted to liking, was coming over to talk to her with some champagne.
