That's what you call timing! Nick Lachey and Kelly Ripa dress up as Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries on wedding day

By Eleanor Gower


Bad timing: Kelly Ripa sported a white strapless wedding dress while Nick Lachey put on stilts under his suit as Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries on this morning's edition of Live! With Regis and Kelly


With Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries today announcing their split, the timing was impeccable for Kelly Ripa and Nick Lachey's choice of Halloween costume.

Lachey, 37, who guest hosted on Live! With Regis and Kelly this morning, put on stilts underneath black trousers and sported a white tuxedo in a hilarious spoof of Kris's appearance at August's reality wedding.

And 41-year-old Kelly channelled her inner reality TV star in a dark Kim style wig, meringue dress and diamond headband and veil.


They were clearly having a great time as they waved and posed for pictures on a special Halloween edition of the show.

But at the time of planning their Kim and Kris outfits, they would have been unaware of the divorce announcement made by the couple today.

Nick, standing in for permanent host Regis Philbin, joined in the fun, with the couple appearing as Prince William and Kate Middleton, Sammi 'Sweetheart' from Jersey Shore and Dancing With The Stars Nancy Grace.

I do: The pair exchanged loving glances in the Halloween special which also involved them sporting a selection of other outfits

They also took off reality show Toddlers and Tiaras, Charlie Sheen, an air hostess and pilot from drama Pan Am, Justin Bieber and Katy Perry and Russell Brand.

But despite Regis Philbin being away this morning, he still popped up in the guise of Heidi Klum at the end of the show.

The German-born model arrived in a Regis-style suit, grey wig and make-up.

'It's very hard being Philbin,' said Heidi, who is well known for her impressive Halloween costumes.

'All these wrinkles. I can only deal with it for so long.'
Meanwhile, Kelly had tweeted her excitement before the start of the themed show.


Wedding greeting: Nick was clearly having a good time in his elongated outfit, while Kelly showed off her slim figure in the Kim style dress

Happy Halloween: The couple did their utmost to get into the Halloween spirit on the popular morning show


'So excited!!! Today's Halloween show is fierce! Thanks in advance @NickSLachey! And @HeidiKlum!' Kelly tweeted before this morning's programme.

Nick added on his Twitter: 'Hey everyone, happy halloween!! I had a blast on @Regis_and_Kelly this morning.'

'I'm going to be a mummy': Jessica Simpson FINALLY confirms she is pregnant

By Daily Mail Reporter


The truth is out there: Jessica Simpson has confirmed she is pregnant and comically dressed up as a mummy to accompany her happy announcement


Jessica Simpson has finally confirmed what everyone's been thinking - she is indeed pregnant.

The 31-year-old reality star has just made an official announcement on her website.

She wrote a short message, telling her fans: 'It's true, I am going to be a mummy.'


The former singer, who is engaged to NBA star Eric Johnson, also comically dressed up in a mummy Halloween outfit in a photograph to accompany the announcement, while cradling her bump.

Jessica has been at the centre of swirling pregnancy rumours for weeks now - but until today has remained mum.

Expert believe the star to be at least six months gone.


Breaking the news: Jessica tweeted a link on Twitter today, which linked to the announcement on her website

It's official: Jessica's website with the photo under the caption 'It's true! I am going to be a mummy'


According to speculation by a Boston-based gynaecologist, Jessica is heading into her third trimester.

The doctor, Dave David, told RadarOnline: 'She looks to be 26 weeks, which is around six months.

'It is definitely a pregnancy and not weight gain. You can by the shape of her abdomen, her belly wouldn't be that rounded if it was just fat.'

The 'hole' truth: Simpson lays a hand on her belly during a stroll in Beverly Hill with fiance Eric Johnson yesterday


Yesterday Jessica reunited with Eric after jetting back to the West Coast from her business trip in New York.

Simpson was seen laying a protective hand over her growing tummy as she walked hand-in-hand with Eric.

She was dressed casually in black leggings, platform Alaia boots and a holey beige jumper.

Eric was the perfect gent and helped his wife-to-be into their black BMW by holding the door open for her as she got in.

Perfect gent: Eric helps his wife-to-be back into their car. The couple appeared to be in great spirits and put on a smiley and affectionate display


The couple looked in good spirits as they put on a smiley display during their outing in Beverly Hills.

Last week Jessica, along with her mother Tina and some friends, checked out several apartments in New York.

The former singer is reportedly looking for somewhere to buy in the Big Apple for her and fiance Eric to reside now that she spends so much time there working on her fashion lines.

What would Lord Sugar say? Young Apprentice Harry Maxwell caught swigging champagne in Royal haunt Mahiki

By Daily Mail Reporter


Brazen: Young Apprentice wannabe Harry Maxwell was caught swigging a bottle of £1,000 Dom Perignon at London club Mahiki - a favourite haunt of the Royals


He says his intellect is unrivaled in the boardroom of the Young Apprentice.

But Harry Maxwell must be feeling a bit silly after pictures of him drinking underage emerged yesterday.

The 16-year-old was spotted swigging from a bottle of £1,000 Dom Perignon champagne as he partied in Royal haunt Mahiki last week.


He appeared to be knocking back the cocktails too.

Master Maxwell, one of 12 competing on the BBC1 show that started last week, also proved adept at another task - pulling the ladies.

One onlooker told the Star on Sunday: 'Harry snogged at least five girls. He was just trying to get with as many as he possibly could.

'He was just going up to girls and saying, "I’m from the Apprentice" and then going in for the kill.'


Skills outside the boardroom: The 16-year-old also proved a hit with the ladies as he kissed and danced with string of young girls at the club

Won't your friend mind? Obviously not. Harry gets down to business with two girls


The plucky reality star, who is currently doing his A levels at the £9,725-a-term Rugby School, hopes to win the £25,000 prize on offer in the show.

He does have expensive tastes after all.

'He posed with a bottle of Dom Perignon, which cost £1,000,' the Star on Sunday's insider revealed


Check me out Lord Sugar! Harry makes moves on a third girl at the club


Dressing down: Harry, right, and his team got a grilling from Alan Sugar, left, after failing to win the first task on the show


'Even if he didn’t buy it, he obviously liked it.

'Most 16-year-olds probably wouldn’t even know what a bottle that expensive looked like.'

However, Harry did not get off to a good start on the show's debut episode last week.
He and his team received a grilling from Lord Sugar after failing to win the first task.

Speaking about his appearance on the show, Harry's mum Jane admitted to the Lutterworth Mail: 'There was a little bit of arrogance there but that’s him, he wouldn’t have made it to the last 12 if he didn’t.'

Sixteen-year-old Mahamed Awale was the first Young Apprentice hopeful to be fired.

Fright night, Essex style! The TOWIE girls don PVC, knee-socks and towering heels for spookiest night of the year

By Sarah Bull and Holly Thomas



Fright night! Lucy Mecklenburgh, Lauren Pope, Lauren Goodger, Maria Fowler, Jessica Wright, Harry Derbidge and Peri Sinclair donned their spookiest attire for an Essex-style Halloween


They dress up at every possible opportunity so it comes as no surprise that the TOWIE girls went all out while filming a Halloween special yesterday.

The Only Way Is Essex stars went for the tightest, shortest, most revealing outfits they could possibly find, and covered themselves in fake blood for good measure, as they arrived to shoot their spooky scenes.

And as the night drew in, the gang certainly got into the spirit of the occasion, spooking each other under the cover of night.

Look behind you! Harry and Maria pounced on a giggling Lauren as they got into the spirit of the occassion


Harry Derbidge was especially enthusiastic, and threw himself into the role of zombie sailor with vigour, pouncing on co-star Lauren Goodger in the woods - accompanied by Maria Fowler dressed as a Black Swan.

The threesome descended into giggles as they tripped over themselves outside, Harry's bloody make-up around his mouth an appropriate foil to Lauren's red-spattered clothes.

However though Harry loved his ghoulish new look, he calmed down for a tender moment with his new love interest, Kurt.

Lauren Pope decided to go for a sexy sailor look, in a tiny white and blue pleated mini-dress, and accessorised her outfit with white knee-high socks, a sailor's hat, leopard-print heels and lashings of very realistic looking blood.


Tripping over themselves: The threesome became carried away as they messed around in the park

In high spirits? Harry loved his ghoulish new look, but calmed down for a tender moment with his new love interest, Kurt


She arrived for the filming alongside housemate Lauren Goodger, who kept things relatively simple in a military-style brown dress, black knee-high boots and matching black gloves.

And it was nice to see the two Laurens using their creativity for their Halloween looks, after their attended the Bloodlust Ball this weekend wearing sparkly minidresses that wouldn't look out of place on a usual Saturday night in Essex.

Meanwhile, as she arrived to film the TOWIE Halloween party, Maria Fowler opted to accentuate her curves in a black tutu to go as the Black Swan from Natalie Portman's movie thriller.

The skimpier the better: Maria Fowler donned a black tutu to be the Black Swan for the evening


But it was Chloe Sims who had the most impressive Halloween outfit, choosing to wear a black Queen of Hearts type outfit.

The 29-year-old star donned the black PVC dress, which featured a black and silver chequered corset, and teamed the scary outfit with a matching headpiece, thigh-high boots and fake blood.

Even the TOWIE crew who weren't seen filming Halloween scenes this afternoon dressed up for good measure.

Joey Essex tweeted fans that he was struggling to find a suitable outfit for trick or treating, before eventually settling for a green alien-type suit.

He wrote on his Twitter page: 'Halloween woowwwwwww... Can't wait to trick or treat in my Alian (sic) outfit! Haha.'

TOWIE newcomer Peri Sinclair was also seen getting into the spooky spirit earlier this week as she shopped for a sexy outfit for the big day.
