Pictured: The moment one of Justin Bieber's heavies 'clobbered' one of New York's finest

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER


Crowds: A melee ensued when Justin Bieber came outside to greet fans during a publicity event in New York


These pictures show the dramatic scenes as an undercover NYPD cop was allegedly taken out by one of Justin Bieber's own bodyguards.

The undercover policeman was mistaken for a crazed fan trying to attack the teenage superstar in a bizarre melee that resulted in one of Bieber's own security guards being issued with a summons.

The pint-sized singer was at an event at Macy's department store in New York when the cop was allegedly grabbed by a bodyguard as screaming teenage girls surged towards the 17-year-old.


Taken out: Bieber was at an event at Macy's department store in New York when an undercover cop was allegedly grabbed by one of his bodyguards as screaming teenage girls surged towards the 17-year-old


The plain-clothed officer stepped in to protect the Canadian heartthrob from the crowd surge when an overprotective Bieber bodyguard allegedly grabbed him and tried to pull him away from the boy.

Bieber was reportedly shaken up by the incident, which saw the bodyguard issued a summons for disorderly conduct.


Shaken up: Justin Bieber was greeting fans at a promotional event to launch his new fragrance Someday


Initial reports from the scene had suggested that a man had jumped the barricades, attacking Bieber and knocking him to the ground - but police have since denied that he was touched or hurt.

‘It was a momentary well-intentioned misunderstanding and the event went well,’ a spokesman for Bieber told the New York Post. ‘He’s completely fine and has no injuries.’

A witness said the 17-year-old Canadian singer shouted: 'What? What?' as the incident happened, before rushing back into the store and not talking to waiting reporters.


Supporters: Dozens of fans had camped out in front of the famous store for two days to get the opportunity to meet their idol


Dozens of fans had camped out in front of the famous store for two days to get the opportunity to meet their idol, who was doing a personal appearance to launch his new fragrance Someday.

Another witness told the New York Daily News that people who had been waiting for hours got too excited and began pushing the barrier down, meaning he did not even get time to wave at his fans.

Bieber tweeted this evening: ‘today went well at macy's.. the fans were AMAZING, thanks to all the fans who came out to support it was a breath of fresh air :)’

He had appeared on The View on Thursday morning and tweeted before his Macy’s appearance: 'Gonna chill..grab a bit..then see everyone at MACY's for the #SOMEDAY launch. LEGGO!!'


Bieber fever: People who had been waiting for hours got too excited and began pushing the barrier down


Earlier: Justin Bieber challenged The View presenter Elisabeth Hasselbeck to a Segway contest as he appeared on the ABC network daytime talk show this morning


Bieber's fans, known as 'Beliebers', rallied to support the singer after the incident, on the initial understanding that somebody had tried to attack him.

One young lady was so overcome by the incident that she had to be carried away by police officers.

Bieber has had other security scares including at an event in 2009 at the Roosevelt Field Mall that was cancelled after thousands of fans mobbed the shopping centre.

He tweeted to his followers to leave the mall because police threatened to arrest out of control fans.

Elizabeth Hurley and Shane Warne make their red carpet debut at 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


Elizabeth Hurley and Shane Warne tonight made their red carpet at Sir Elton John's White Tie and Tiara Ball.

The pair, who have been dating since last December, looked smart as they headed to the annual fundraising event held at Sir Elton and partner David Furnish's Windsor Home.

While 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......'

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

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


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

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.

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


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

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.'

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.

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.

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

Pretty in pink: Petra Ecclestone and Jackie St Clair opted for blush hues for the occasion

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

Louis Walsh denies that he indecently assaulted man in nightclub toilet

By ELEANOR HARDING

Louis Walsh had seen Westlife sing in Dublin before the alleged incident


Louis Walsh last night denied allegations that he indecently assaulted a man in a nightclub toilet.

The X Factor judge said: ‘The allegations made against me are wholly false and with no foundation.

‘I will happily cooperate fully with the police and am 100 per cent confident that after a full investigation I will be fully exonerated.’

An anonymous 24-year-old, who is understood to be a single father, told police that Mr Walsh, 58, touched his groin after they struck up a conversation, according to The Sun newspaper.

According to the unsubstantiated claims from the alleged victim, the attack happened in the early hours of April 10, when Mr Walsh is said to have visited Russell Court Hotel in Dublin.

Earlier in the evening, Mr Walsh had attended a concert by Westlife, the Irish boyband he created.

The man allegedly told police he chatted with Mr Walsh in the hotel’s private Global Bar, before the pair moved on to its well-known Krystle nightclub.

His statement to officers claims the TV star then indecently assaulted him in the nightclub’s toilets.


The venue: The alleged assault is said to have taken place at the Krystle nightclub, inside Dublin's Russell Court Hotel


According to The Sun, a police source said the investigation was ‘ongoing’ and that officers have taken CCTV footage from the nightclub and will also study film from cameras in the hotel.

A spokesman for Mr Walsh said: ‘He vigorously denies all of the allegations. If contacted by the police he will willingly co-operate with any investigation. Louis categorically denies any wrongdoing and will fight to clear his name.’


Famous: The nightclub is one of the most popular and exclusive in Dublin
Last night, the alleged victim refused to comment.


Mr Walsh is on the judging panel for this year’s X Factor, alongside Gary Barlow from Take That, Kelly Rowland from Destiny’s Child and N-Dubz singer Tulisa Contostavlos. The Irishman first appeared on the programme in 2004 alongside Simon Cowell and Sharon Osbourne.

Mr Walsh became well-known in the 1990s for creating the group Boyzone after deciding to create an Irish version of Take That.

Under his management, they achieved international success, selling more than 12million copies worldwide



Back to work: Louis Walsh arrives at the London Studios for X Factor yesterday


He later used the same formula to produce Westlife, co-managed by Boyzone member Ronan Keating. Mr Walsh launched his television career as a judge on the Irish edition of reality music show Popstars.

After finding a band on that show he was brought across to London to star in Popstars: The Rivals on ITV. It was on this show that he found UK fame, as mentor of the winning group, Girls Aloud.

During his time on the X Factor, Mr Walsh had success with classical-style boyband G4, who went on to have a chart-topping album and completed two tours of the UK.

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

Racy Katie! Ms Holmes wears a white see-through top as she dines at Miami restaurant

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER


Racy Katie: Katie Holmes left a Miami restaurant today in a white crochet top which exposed her black bra


She is known to keep her wardrobe on the conservative side with her array of sophisticated dresses and covered-up comfortable casualwear.

But in a daring turn, Katie Holmes stepped out today in a white crochet top, which exposed her black bra.

The 32-year-old sported the uncharacteristic risqué look as she left a restaurant in Miami.

The actress had clearly gone for a relaxed look, paring the vest with some white floaty trousers and embellished sandals.

Toting a cup of coffee, she topped off the look with a fedora hat, black wayfarers and a make-up free complexion.

Katie has been getting into Miami style with her array of beachwear.

On the weekend, Katie showed off her slimmed-down physique in a bikini as she played with five-year-old daughter Suri on Miami beach.

Mother and daughter are together at the seaside town in Florida where Tom Cruise, 48, is filming Rock of Ages.


Beachy keen: The actress had clearly gone for a relaxed look, paring the risqué vest with some white floaty trousers and embellished sandals


Katie wore a red bikini and pink denim shorts while Suri was fully clothed in a multi-coloured dress.

The family were also spotted celebrating Father's Day in Miami on Sunday where Katie and Suri were pictured strolling with Cruise and then boarding a boat.

The close-knit trio were seen around the marina together in casual weekend wear.

Katie carried Suri in her arms, as always, to the luxury yacht which they hopped on for their afternoon cruise.


Accessorising: Toting a cup of coffee, she topped off the look with a fedora hat, black wayfarers and a make-up free complexion


After they boarded the yacht, named Marquis, Katie and Suri sat on the deck while Cruise kept cool inside as they sailed out to sea.

The couple have been the butt of break-up rumours pretty much from as soon as they got together six years ago.

But the loved-up twosome showed that their relationship is stronger than ever and were very touchy-feely at an event in Miami Beach later in the weekend.


Making waves: On the weekend, Katie showed off her slimmed-down physique in a bikini as she played with five-year-old daughter Suri on Miami beach


Katie lovingly grabbed her husband of nearly five years from behind and Cruise reciprocated, resting his hand over hers in a sweet gesture.

The couple turned up the Miami heat during a night out with the cast members from Rock of Ages including Julianne Hough and Malin Akerman.

They cosied up at Larios Cuban style bongo club and seemed to enjoy their date night in the Sunshine State.


Beach babes: Katie keeps close to her daughter Suri as they play in the water


Cruise is undergoing an amazing transformation to play long-haired, tattooed rocker Jaxx in the film, which is due for release next year.

Also starring Russell Brand, it tells the story of a girl who arrives in Hollywood at the height of the 1980s rock scene.

It's a very different role for Cruise, and Katie has given her backing to the career departure for her husband by revealing that he likes to perform at their home.

'Tom is such an amazing performer. Yes, we have music in our house and it’s amazing,' she told Access Hollywood.
