Puppy love! Tough guy Colin Farrell melts as he pets a tiny dog while taking a break from filming Winter's Tale

He’s known for his tough guy roles in movies but it seems in real life Colin Farrell is just a softy at heart.
The actor was spotted making a fuss over a cute puppy on the set of his new movie Winter’s Tale on Sunday as a member of crew presented it to the actor.
Colin couldn’t help but smile as he stroked the chocolate brown pooch which was being cradled in the arms of a woman he was chatting to.

Puppy love: Colin Farrell was spotted petting a dog on the set of Winter's Tale in New York City

The canine seemed to brighten up the day of the 36-year-old – who was coping with the cold weather as they recorded scenes by Cooper Union in New York City.

 

The hunky screen star wasn’t exactly looking himself as he stood wearing a white shirt, black coat and flaunting a very dark slicked back hairstyle.
Helping himself to a sandwich from the catering table, he was of course still in character as Peter Lake.

Smitten: The actor got to grips with the pooch on a break from filming at Cooper Union

In the forthcoming film, which is based on a novel with the same title, Colin's character forms a special bond with the horse, which also acts as his guardian angel.
The love story follows what happens when the burglar falls for a dying young woman, played by flame-haired Downton Abbey star Jessica Brown Findlay, after breaking into her Manhattan mansion.
The story will flick between the 19th century and present day New York, and is the directorial debut of the Oscar-winning Beautiful Mind writer Akiva Goldsman.

Lunch time: The actor grabbed a sandwich as had a chat with workers on the film during his break

Not his usual look: Colin was looking far from his hunky self as he was in character

But Colin's path will not be easy, for he has to evade the clutches of a thoroughly rotten gangster played by Russell Crowe, who is the one who presses him into thievery in the first place.
On Wednesday he was getting to grips with another much larger animal, taking his co-star on a horse ride in New York.
Jessica Brown Findlay wrapped her arms round his waist and clung on for dear life as the powerful stallion took full advantage of the wide open spaces at Prospect Park.

'I guess I've been more adventurous with my style and clothes since I've become a mother.

'When I was younger, I was really uncomfortable in dresses and high heels. Over the years, I've embraced a more feminine side.'

Which brush is best for your style? We give you a comprehensive guide to how to match your haircare to your hair type

With drawers full of serums, mousse and hairspray, few of us could be accused of neglecting our hair.

But no lotion or potion is going to do much good unless you also invest in the right basic tools. The most important of these? The humble hairbrush.

'There's no point spending a fortune on styling products and hairdryers if you don’t have a good brush,' says Giles Robinson, senior stylist at the John Frieda salon in London's Mayfair.

There's no point spending a fortune on styling products if you don't have the right brush, so here we show you how

But the number on offer - from cut-price to eye-wateringly expensive - is staggering. From paddle brushes to round brushes, cushioned brushes and vented brushes, where on earth do you start?
We asked Giles to explain exactly what each brush actually does, and for his best of the bunch.

Best for … Detangling

Tangle teaser
'These brushes have soft, synthetic bristles of different lengths that get rid of tangles without tugging the hair. There are variations on the basic brush, with bigger heads or longer handles, but none of them is an improvement on the original. If you have a brush that sits in the palm of your hand, you're on top of the area you're combing and there's less chance that you’re going to pull the hair and break it.'
Best buy: Tangle Teezer Elite, £11.99, sally express.com

Drying longer, thicker hair

Paddle brush
'These wide, flat brushes won't tame frizz, or create a shape in the way that a  round brush will, partly because the bristles are usually plastic and don't offer the same grip. But, if you have thick, long hair and want to dry it straight, a paddle brush is a good way to rough dry it and take out most of the moisture before you style with a round brush.'
Best buy: Kent Phat Pin Paddle, £9.95, kentbrushes.com

 

Getting a frizz-free finish

Large barrel brush
'This is essential for any straight style. The best brushes are made of boar bristle. It's a natural fibre so hair reacts better to it than to something synthetic. Boar  bristle also grips hair better, helps distribute the hair's natural oils and gives a smooth, frizz-free finish. The larger the barrel, the better. Look for a minimum diameter of 60mm.'
Best buy: Extra-large round brush, £27, thebristlebrushcompany.com

Creating volume

Small barrel brush
'If you have short, fine hair like many older women, you want to create volume very close to the roots and it's easiest to do that with a smaller-barrelled brush. Look for natural bristles, and a diameter of around 40mm.
Best buy: Radial brush, £23.20, philipkingsley.co.uk

Styling a sleek bob

Styling brush
'If you've got a hairstyle that doesn't require much volume - such as a pixie crop or a bob - try these. The plastic bristles tend to be slightly closer together than those on a paddle brush, meaning they offer slightly more grip, but the smaller head is better for controlling shorter styles.'
Best buy: Medium 7 row styling brush, £7.09, denmanbrush.com

Brushing out curly hair

Vent brush
'If you have curly hair that has been dried naturally, or with a diffuser, or if you've styled it curly, a bristle brush will leave it fluffy. A vent brush will smooth it through but still leave curls well defined. It's also useful for tidying up curly hair the day after a blow-dry.'
Best buy: Medium vent brush, £4.09, superdrug.com

Day-to-day brushing

Cushioned brush
'The best are made from 100 per cent boar bristle. The cushioned base allows bristles to gently massage the scalp, improving the blood flow to the area, resulting in healthier hair.
'To give definition to waves or curls, try rubbing some wax into the bristles before brushing.'
Best buy: Mason Pearson Pure Bristle Brush, from £38.50, escentual.com

Up-dos

Dressing brush
'If you regularly create up-dos that require a lot of backcombing - like beehives - this is invaluable. The pointy handle is designed so you can easily section hair off. And the narrow bristled head allows you to get right into the roots.
'And, when you've finished styling, you can spritz the bristles with hairspray and smooth everything down.'

She can do demure! Rihanna looks picture of innocence as she launches new perfume Nude... but is that necklace a gift from Chris Brown?

Rihanna showed off her demure side as she launched her new fragrance Nude in a virginal white dress and minimal make-up.

The 24-year-old Diamonds singer glimmered in the white gown with lace finish at Macy's Westfield for her third perfume launch.

Accessorising it with a gold chunky necklace, which is believed to be a gift from Chris Brown, the star smiled sweetly as she posed with the curvy bottle of scent.

Spritz: Rhianna looked gorgeous in a simple white gown and gold necklace

Hosting the event Rihanna, who also met eager fans, couldn't stop smiling.

Speaking of the fragrance, which is her third, Rihanna told Women's Wear Daily: 'When creating my first scent, Reb’l Fleur, I wanted it to be a really strong scent – daring and bold. I have gotten more personal with Nude.'

Online the new perfume is billed as: 'Having fruity aromas of guava, mandarin and pear are located at the opening of the composition. The heart is blended out of white flowers: gardenia petals, velvety Sambac jasmine and creamy orange blossom.'

A gift?: Rihanna recently posted a snap of the same chunky necklace as she is wearing suggesting if was from Chris Brown

'You better not give it away': The coy couple have been posting suggestive pictures for weeks, including one image of her new gold choker - believed to be a gift from Chris

She does demure! Rihanna looked innocent in a white dress with lace finish

And although Rihanna may have been picture perfect at the event it was a change to the raunchy snap she shared on Thursday which showed her planting a kiss on her former flame Chris Brown's cheek.

In a caption the 24-year-old also refers to Chris, 23, as her ‘baby’.

The tender image shows Rihanna wrapping her arms around Chris’ neck was he keeps his head down and she nuzzles into him.

As athletic and impressive as Madonna's body is, we've all seen enough of it on stage to last a lifetime.

As athletic and impressive as Madonna's body is, we've all seen enough of it on stage to last a lifetime.
Slipping into something miniscule and flesh-flashing in her spare time is a bit of a Busman's Holiday for Madonna so it's she does the opposite to most people by a pool.
Madge, 54, every the contrarian, covered herself up almost completely as she enjoyed family time time by at her hotel in Rio where she's set to perform on Sunday night as part of her MDNA tour.

Beach er, babe: Madonna covered up her athletic body (and wisely, her porcelain skin) by her hotel pool in Rio where she relaxed with her children and boyfriend Brahim on Saturday

Wearing joggers, a T-shirt featuring black and white polaroid snaps (that hopefully weren't of herself), a large warm looking cardigan and a sun-hat; Madonna was as protected from harmful rays as you can get.
The mother-of-four didn't forget her bug like sunglasses, either, meaning her face was particularly safe.
Of course, you don't get to remain youthful like the queen of pop by sitting in the sun so there is tried and tested method in this apparent madness.

What does she see in him? Madonna's chap has got an incredible body

Modern family: Brahim obviously gets on well with Madonna's children, he was spotted enjoying a walk with Rocco - Madonna's son by Guy Ritchie

Her boy-thing Brahim has no immediate cares about the ravages of time and was happy to show off her his incredible six pack, as we imagine, his girlfriend perhaps was too.
He looked to be relishing the time spent with his iconic lover and her children and could be seen sauntering around with Rocco, 12.
Lourdes, 16, was also spotted fussing over her gorgeous younger siblings David and Mercy.

Such devotion: Madonna's Rio fans have prepared her a giant letter

Taking it to the next level: And there was also this banner, to welcome the queen of pop

Madonna's still going while her history is transformed into an iconic legacy.
Her infamous conical corset - designed by Jean Paul Gaultier (who would use it as the blueprint for his perfume bottles) sold for $52,000 at Christie's in London last week.
So with a figure as iconic as that, it's probably wise the keep it under wraps until showtime.

Mario Lopez has married longtime girlfriend Courtney Mazza in a star-studded ceremony in Mexico.

The couple exchanged vows at the $30million seaside Punta Mita estate of Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis, with Eva Longoria among guests.

Lopez, who shares a two-year-old daughter with the Broadway dancer, proposed over New Year's weekend last year.

Simply beautiful: Mario Lopez and Courtney Mazza's wedding, surrounded by guests they married in a white gazebo

The X Factor U.S. and Extra host saw his bride walk down the aisle just before sunset. Extra was the first to report the nuptials.

The couple met in 2008 when the former Saved By the Bell actor was starring in A Chorus Line on Broadway. 

They share a daughter, Gia, who Lopez said in June would be the flower girl at the ceremony, along with his three nieces.

Here comes the bride? The ceremony was packed with famous faces

A mariachi band played during the festivities, which will air in a two-hour television special later this month called Mario & Courtney's Wedding Fiesta. Lopez has been outspoken about his Hispanic heritage and his desire to raise his daughter with full knowledge of her cultural background.

The groom's good friend Eva Longoria meanwhile gave fans a sneak peek of her own wardrobe before the ceremony.

Dressed in a sexy cobalt blue gown with a thigh-high slit, the actress posed with her mother in an image posted on Twitter.

The actress later admitted she couldn't breathe, but was satisfied that at least 'the dress looks good!!!' after worrying it wouldn't work.

The television star, 39, popped the question over New Year's weekend last year in Ixtapa, Mexico.

'We took a walk alone as the sun was setting,' he told UsWeekly after the proposal. 

'I told Courtney that I wanted the mother of my children to have their last name. She was silent at first from shock, then she leaped for joy and did a little jete!'

She added: 'Besides our daughter's birth, this was the best moment of my life!'  

It is the first marriage for Mazza, and Lopez' second.

Their little one: Lopez and Mazza, with their little girl Gia, arrive to the Wendy Williams Show in New York City on October 18

He was previously married to Ali Landry in 2004 in Mexico but their marriage was annulled two weeks later due to his infidelities.

Mario admitted that he cheated at his bachelor party days before their wedding.

'At that point I was not ready to settle down,' he told Us. 'I wasn't man enough to know how to go about handling it.'

He explained that days after their wedding a horrified Landry confronted him after being shown a photo of him in a compromising position with a woman at the party.

Lopez' nuptials with Mazza are slated to air on TLC network on December 8.
