New rumours couple have decided against 'K' name

By AMELIA PROUD

Looking swell: Kim Kardashian looked radiant as she showed off her baby bump in a pretty bikini just days before being rushed into an early labour

She suffered throughout what she described as a difficult and painful pregnancy.
But in the few days before she was rushed to hospital with suspected preeclampsia, there was a sanguine beauty about Kim Kardashian as she relaxed in Los Angeles sunshine.
The 32-year-old looked beautiful as she showed off her expectant form in a pretty bikini while relaxing by a pool with friends.

Perfect form: Kim showed off her beautiful form in the snakeskin two piece

She gained a substantial amount of weight during her pregnancy and Kardashian is apparently already trying to shift those pounds.
Meanwhile it's been revealed that the baby's name does NOT start with a 'k': 'They're not quite ready to announce the name yet,; a source close to the couple tells Us Weekly.
'But the name definitely does not start with a K, despite all the rumors that have been out.'

Proud: Kim said she didn't enjoy being pregnant but she looks comfortable with her swollen form

The reality star is reported to have just left hospital following the birth of her daughter in the early hours of Saturday morning according to Hollywood Life.
And according to reports she can’t wait to get back in the gym and regain her slim figure.
‘She’s already looking ahead to when she can exercise again,’ a source told Us Weekly.
Another added: ‘She really wants to get back into shape. It’s important to her.’

Putting her feet up: Kim looked happy and relaxed as she soaked up the Calirfornia rays

Kim, 32, was working with trainer to the stars Tracy Anderson throughout her pregnancy, but the publication also claims she is considering hiring Gunnar Peterson.
Gunnar is responsible for helping Kim’s younger sister Khloe, 28, with her recent 25lbs weight loss.
While she is not able to start exercising just yet, Kim is allegedly already watching what she eats.

Ever stylish: Kim looked as well put together as always in her swimwear

The magazine claims that the star’s hospital room is chock-a-block with flowers but she has insisted well-wishers are not allowed to bring any tasty treats for her to eat.
‘She has over 30 bouquets from loved ones,’ a source said. ‘She told everyone not to bring sweets – she said she doesn’t need any temptations.’

Oh baby, what a majestic send-off! Kate steals the show at Trooping the Colour ceremony with a dazzling last appearance before leaving the limelight

The Duchess of Cambridge travelled to the pageant in a carriage with the Duchess of Cornwall and Prince Harry
Trio smiled and waved at the crowds lining the route as the carriage drove to the televised military spectacle
Royal family gathered on balcony on Buckingham Palace to watch spectacular RAF fly-past
After ceremony Queen paid a 'private and quiet' visit to her husband Prince Philip, who is recovering from surgery

By IAN GALLAGHER

The queen was surrounded by members of her family, who watched a Royal Air Force fly pass by on the balcony of Buckingham Palace

In many ways it was a very familiar Royal balcony tableau.
Prince William and Kate giggled and flirted. The Queen, striking in blue, acknowledged the spectacular fly-past with a beatific smile.
There was some good-natured tomfoolery from Prince Harry, who made his sister-in-law laugh with a tickling gesture. And there was even a mildly recalcitrant child, Prince Edward’s five-year-old son James, Viscount Severn, who couldn’t resist making faces.

Patriotic: The Red Arrows trial red, white and blue smoke as they fly over Buckingham Palace, seen from the rear

But the glaring omission from yesterday’s line-up at the Queen’s official birthday celebrations was, of course, the Duke of Edinburgh, who is still recovering from abdominal surgery. Without his bolstering presence, the scene appeared incomplete.
No sooner had she dispensed her final wave, though, than Her Majesty was off to visit her husband in hospital.
But if the day belonged to the 87-year-old Monarch, all eyes were on the eight-months-pregnant Duchess of Cambridge, making her last public appearance before the birth of her first child.
Before the balcony appearance, Kate watched proudly as her husband took part in the traditional Trooping the Colour on horseback as Colonel of the Irish Guards.

The Joker: Always eager to please, Harry makes Camilla and Kate chuckle during the celebrations

Wearing a pale pink Alexander McQueen coat with pearl buttons and matching hat, she had travelled to the pageant in a carriage with the Duchess of Cornwall and Harry, smiling and waving at the crowds lining the route.
Other senior Royals also arrived in carriages before the Queen made her entrance, travelling with her cousin, the Duke of Kent, in a glass coach for the short journey from Buckingham Palace to Horse Guards Parade.
The Queen, dressed in a royal blue Angela Kelly coat and hat with a matching lace dress, took the salute as her family – including the Duke of York and his daughters Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, and the Earl and Countess of Wessex with their daughter Lady Louise Mountbatten-Windsor – looked on.

Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie were dressed in smart outfits and dainty hats as they attended their grandmother's official birthday celebrations. Princess Eugenie's elaborate headwear was designed by Sarah Cant

After the parade ended, the Queen was cheered as she was driven back to Buckingham Palace, and the King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery fired a 41-gun salute in Green Park.
It is thought to be only the third time that Philip has missed the event after not attending in 1962 and 1968 when he was away on royal tours.
She first took the royal salute in 1951 - when she deputised for her sick father, George VI - and has continued receiving the mark of respect every year except 1955 when there was a national rail strike.

Prince Harry, the Duchess of Cambridge and Prince William share a joke as they gathered with other members to celebrate the grand ceremony

Other royals watching included the Duke of York and his daughters Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, and the Earl and Countess of Wessex with their daughter Lady Louise Mountbatten-Windsor.
Taking part in the ceremony on horseback are the Prince of Wales - who is Colonel of the Welsh Guards, the Princess Royal - who is Colonel of the Blues and Royals, and the Duke of Cambridge - who is Colonel of the Irish Guards.
More than 1,000 soldiers, horses and musicians are taking part in the parade known as 'Trooping the Color,' an annual ceremony marking the queen's official birthday.
The ceremony is also an important social occasion for the Guardsmen taking part and gives their wives, girlfriends, and relatives the chance to celebrate the achievements of the young men and enjoy the spectacle.
Many of the spectators in the stands overlooking the parade ground were dressed in morning suits or smart suits, while women wore dresses topped with hats and fascinators.
After the parade ended, the Queen was cheered by crowds gathered along the Mall as she was driven back to Buckingham Palace, where she watched an aerial display by the RAF.

Kim Kardashian gives birth to baby girl! Star has first child by Kanye West a month early at Los Angeles hospital

By BIANCA CARNEIRO

The happy couple: The child's birth comes just days after Kanye West's 36th birthday on June 8

Kim Kardashian gave birth to her first child on Saturday - a month ahead of her due date.
Mail Online exclusively revealed that the 32-year-old had been admitted to hospital in Beverly Hills on Friday.
The reality star had taken out a birthing suite at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center - a hospital of choice among many celebrities including Britney Spears, Victoria Beckham and Jessica Simpson.
Hours later - around 1:30 a.m. on Saturday - she gave birth to her baby girl.

Her partner, rapper Kanye West, and mother Kris Jenner were reportedly at her side.
Her due date was reportedly July 11 - the same day as Kate Middleton.
Kim had planned to have a C-section but after suffering an infection had decided to take the precaution of going to the hospital a few weeks early, according to X17Online.
Both mother and baby are in good health and resting, but given the early birthday, the littlest Kardashian has been placed in an incubator.

It's a girl! Kim Kardashian has reportedly given birth to her first daughter with Kanye West on Saturday

The 36-year-old rapper, who celebrated his birthday on June 8, was last spotted at the Yeezus listening party in Switzerland Tuesday.
He's been heavily active in promoting his new album, due out on Tuesday, and fans wondered whether he was referring to his post-Kardashian lifestyle in the lyrics to his track, New Slave.

A gift for the new mom: Best friend Brittny Gastineau stopped by the hospital Saturday afternoon bearing flowers

No further details have been released and the couple have not given any hint at what they will name their daughter.
The couple announced the pregnancy in December.
Kardashian has been married twice before - to musician Damon Thomas in her 20s and most recently to basketball player Kris Humphries.

On her way? On Friday a limousine was spotted outside Kim's home

On Friday night West skipped out on a listening party for his latest album in Los Angeles, prompting speculation the baby was on its way.
Several of Kim's close friends, including Scott Disick and Jonathan Cheban both attended the party.
Sources close to the couple later confirmed to Mail Online that she had been hospitalized.
It's been a stressful week for the pair as rumours circulated that he cheated on her with a Canadian model after they met at one of his shows, though spokespeople for both Kim and Kanye vigorously deny the claims.

Helping hand: Best friend Jonathan Cheban helped pack the private car on Friday

West raps: 'I’ll move my family out the country/So you can’t see where I stay/So go and grab the reporters/So I can smash his recorders.'
Asked for this thoughts on parenthood, he said: 'One of the things was just to be protective, that I would do anything to protect my child or my child's mother... [But I haven't fully developed those thoughts yet.'
He continued: 'Well, I just don't want to talk to America about my family. Like, this is my baby. This isn't America's Baby.'

So close: Last week she was spotted out to lunch with friends in West Hollywood

Kim was last seen out and about on Wednesday in a baby bump-hugging green Top Shop dress having lunch at Casa Vega with her friend Jonathan Cheban.
On Friday her mother Kris Jenner was spotted visiting her pregnant daughter's Los Angeles mansion, possibly ready to get a head start with the packing.
Jonathan popped by the house hours later and was spotted transporting a Louis Vuitton bag from the house and into the back of a private car.

Moral support: Kim's best friend Jonathan Cheban was seen leaving her Beverly Hills residence on Saturday as Kim is said to have made her way to Cedars-Sinai hospital

The birth of the couple's first child comes just weeks after Kim celebrated her pregnancy in a star-studded baby shower at the home of a family friend in Beverly Hills.
More than 50 guests sat amongst tens of thousands of dollars of flowers in a series of private garden marquees erected especially for the occasion.
With the shower themed in the color pink, to coincide with the sex of the baby, which was revealed on the premiere episode of the eighth season of the family's reality show.
Kanye also attended the bash arriving later and shielding his face with a hoodie.

Concern? Jonathan appeared to have a look of concern on his face

A source told the MailOnline that Kanye was very friendly to all of the guests at the bash and attentive to Kim the whole time.
'Kanye came (as fathers usually do) and spent the whole time going around to greet and say hello to everyone and every few minutes he would go back to Kim, rub her tummy, and whisper to her and make sure she was having a good time,' the insider said.
'They opened gifts together, and at the end they left together.'

Undercover father: Kanye also attended the bash arriving later and shielding his face with a hoodie

In the season premiere of season eight of her reality show Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Kim revealed that she was having a baby girl, showing Kim discovering the news during an sonogram.
Dr Paul Crane, the family's doctor, laughed as he found Kim and her sisters Kourtney and Khloe, and their mother Kris Jenner all in the office excitedly waiting together.
'I don't see any pee-pees,' Dr Crane said as he tried to determine the gender, adding: 'I'm thinking it's a girl.'
'Oh my gosh! What's the percentage?' a nervous Kim was heard asking the doctor.

Pregnant Kim Kardashian stuck in Los Angeles while Kanye West celebrates birthday in New York

By JENNIFER PEARSON

Grounded: Expectant mom Kim Kardashian was forced to skip boyfriend Kanye West's birthday bash in New York apparently because she's too far along in her pregnancy

Kim Kardashian wasn't there to celebrate Kanye West's birthday.
While pals like Beyonce and Jay-Z were on hand at the party in New York City, Kanye's girlfriend of more than one year was noticeably absent - stuck Los Angeles because she is no longer able to travel by plane ahead of the birth of their first child next month.
A source confirmed to Us Weekly: 'Kim isn't allowed to fly'.

Birthday boy: Kim was conspicuously absent as Kanye celebrated turning 36 years old with pals Jay-Z, Nas and others at Ms. Lily's in New York on Saturday

Kanye rang in his 36th year at Caribbean-inspired hotspot Ms Lily's.
Other guests at the low-key bash included Nas, Kourtney Kardashian's fiance Scott Disick and Kim's best friend Jonathan Cheban.
Kim was stuck in Los Angeles, her growing belly appearing to be getting bigger by the day, to await the birth of their first child due next month.

Not jealous we hope: While enormously pregnant Kim was stuck in Los Angeles, Beyonce graced Kanye's party in a sexy midriff-baring number

But her thoughts were with Kanye as he rubbed elbows with his party pals.
The reality star publicly declared her love for her boyfriend as she wished him happy birthday on Twitter on Saturday.
'Happy Birthday to my best friend, the love of my life, my soul!!!! I love you beyond words!' Kim tweeted.

Looking fabulous: Jay-Z's gorgeous wife Beyonce, who had a baby last year, showed off her tummy that was remarkably toned

The brunette beauty also attached a photo collage, featuring several pictures of the couple looking madly in love together.
Kim presented the Mercy hitmaker with a $750,000 Lamborghini for his birthday last year but sources close to Kanye revealed that he warned her not to buy him anything lavish this year.

Low-key evening: Kanye's party guest Jay-Z is a dad too and afterwards headed home with Beyonce to their baby girl Blue Ivy Carter

An insider told HollywoodLife.com: 'He doesn't want Kim to think about trying to do something big for him on his birthday when she's pregnant.
'All he really wants for his birthday is peace of mind for him and Kim.'
Kanye is due to perform at the Governor's Ball in New York on Sunday.

Overflowing with love: Kim posted a collage of couple pics wishing Kanye a happy birthday, calling him 'the love of my life, my soul!!!! I love you beyond words!'

Duchess of Cambridge in final preparations for Palace nursery as she is pictured on shopping trip at high-end designers with just five weeks until Royal baby is due

By MARK DUELL

Purchases: The Duchess of Cambridge was pictured shopping with a woman believed to be her lady-in-waiting

With only five weeks to go until her due date, it's time to ensure her home is ready for the new arrival.
The Duchess of Cambridge has been pictured shopping with a woman thought to be a lady-in-waiting for soft furnishings at the high-end interiors specialist Bernard Thorp in Chelsea, south-west London.
The visit last Tuesday saw 31-year-old Kate spend 45 minutes inside the shop to decorate the new nursery at Kensington Palace in central London, less than six weeks before her due date of July 13.

Upmarket store: Kate, 31, went shopping at interiors specialist Bernard Thorp in Chelsea, south-west London

Just hours earlier she had been with her husband Prince William, 30, and around 2,000 other guests at Westminster Abbey for a grand service to mark the 60th anniversary of the Queen’s coronation.
There she wore a delicate daisy lace dress with silver-grey ribbon detail and a soft peach shantung jacket with nude heels, before changing into a navy blue dress and magenta cardigan for her shop.

The front of the store was decked out in light blue, but there was no indication that she bought the colour. It was in fact reported that Kate picked out beige and brown English handmade fabrics inside.
Kate was fascinated by all the designs and picked out two,’ a source told the Daily Star Sunday. ‘She had very definite ideas about what she liked. It was boiling hot outside so the door was open.

Non-specific: The front of the fashionable store in south-west London was decked out in light blue

‘She was feeling the heat so we sat her down with a glass of water. The Duchess was charming and so lovely. She didn’t put on any airs or graces. She said she’d got so many ideas after coming in.’

Choices: She picked out beige and brown English handmade fabrics at the shop, according to a newspaper

Walking away: Kate has one more scheduled official public engagement before she goes on maternity leave

Last week: The Duchess of Cambridge (top centre) arrives with Prince William (top right) and Prince Harry (right), and (left-to-right) Queen Elizabeth, Prince Charles, Prince Philip and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, for a service celebrating the 60th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth's coronation at Westminster Abbey on Tuesday

The Duchess has one more scheduled official public engagement before she goes on maternity leave, when she names a ship on Thursday in Southampton, Hampshire.
Kate will also attend Trooping the Colour next week to mark the Queen’s birthday - and is debating whether to join William at the Order of the Garter ceremony in Windsor a few days later.
Bernard Thorp, which was founded in 1971, says on its website that its ‘hand screen printed fabrics and wall coverings are of impeccable quality with an ethos of service second to none'.

Working off those pregnancy pounds in style! Holly Madison goes for a jog in cleavage-baring crop top and tiny shorts

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Great shape: Holly Madison set off for a Saturday morning run in a sporty pink crop top and tiny grey shorts

Holly Madison gave birth to her baby girl only three months ago.
However the former Peepshow star appears to have sprung back to her pre-pregnancy shape as she took in an energetic morning run in Las Vegas on Saturday.
Holly was sweating off the pounds with a smile as she bounced along the neighbourhood street amidst trees and green foliage.

Keeping it fun: The new mother, who gave birth to daughter Rainbow only three months ago, sweat off the pounds with a smile and positive attitude

The 33-year-old showed off her bosomy figure in fuchsia athletic bra and grey shorts with comfy elastic waistband.
Her scanty attire did little cover that hourglass form, exposing plenty of cleavage, stomach and legs.
Adding a fashionable flair were Holly's turquoise-blue and pink trainers.

Making good progress: She gained 40 lbs during pregnancy but Holly has shed most of the excess weight

She ran alone but had a handy iPod plugged into her ear to keep her entertained and motivated.
The new mother wore her blonde hair pulled back in a ponytail during most of her heart-pumping routine, but during her stretching portion allowed it fall out of its clasp and around her shoulders.
Holly eventually slowed down to extend those muscles in a few relaxing stretches.

In the zone: Holly worked herself up to a good physical trot

Picture perfect: The pretty Holly as camera ready and wore a light trace of make-up

Breather: Now and then Holly slowed down to rest and perhaps switch the tune on her iPod

The former star of The Girls Next Door - and one-time favourite gal pal of Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner - delivered a healthy daughter named Rainbow, with fiance Pasquale Rotella, on March 5.
Throughout her pregnancy Holly stuck to a healthy diet and exercise regime.
After Rainbow was born, Holly consumed 1,100 calories a day to help shed the excess 40 lbs gained during those nine months of pregnancy.

Getting the toned look: Holly took time out for a quad stretch

Bent: Holly stretched out the large muscles in her legs and it felt great

Other side: The burlesque star must realise that staying flexible and toned is key to health and happiness

The frequent guest to nightclub openings and other Sin City events does admit to a few tricks of the trade when it comes to looking red carpet-ready.
'How do I hide my leftover preggo belly for the red carpet? Combine all my favourite slimming tips: a high waist, a flared skirt and a wide belt,' Holly has said.
She also revealed that a gym workout before a party and wearing a corset also help.
A pretty coral frock she wore to the PRiSM bash on May 31 complimented Holly's curves while disguising the bulges.

Home stretch: Holly flexed her foot to get a better stretch and she certainly felt that one

Feeling good: Holly looks forward to moments like these when she can take off for some time alone

Room to move! Heavily pregnant Kim Kardashian finally opts for maternity wear as she steps out in a billowing white dress and sensible sandals

By AMELIA PROUD and JADE WATKINS

Maternity style: Kim Kardashian stepped out in a billowing white dress on Tuesday

It seems that maybe finally giving up the tight attire as she continues in the final stages of her pregnancy.
The 32-year-old reality star stepped out in one of her most maternity orientated looks yet on Tuesday.
The mother-to-be wore a billowing white mini dress, which allowed plenty of room for the heavily pregnant star to feel comfortable.

Room to move: The attire allowed for plenty of room for the heavily pregnant star to feel comfortable

The ensemble resembled that of a Mumu, but in the shorter and more chic variety.
The Keeping Up With The Kadashians star teamed the roomy item with a black blazer and a pair of sensible black studded sandals.
Kim wore her raven locks out in a wavy style and accessorised with a black leather Hermes Birkin bag and a pretty crystal necklace.

This is the pinnacle: Anderson is incredibly thin so soon after the birth of her child

The TV star's outing comes after she received a visit from fitness trainer to the stars, Tracy Anderson, earlier in the day, who arrived with her own young baby and squeezed into tiny, tiny jeans.
This would either be a galling or encouraging sight to Kim, given the changes her figure has undergone since she became pregnant last year.

Baby body workout plan: Celebrity trainer Tracy Anderson has worked with Madonna, Gwyneth Paltrow and Nicole Richie, and says that Kim's body will be better after the baby than before she was pregnant

It wasn't clear whether or not this was a social visit or if Tracy was there to work through some gentle exercises
with Kim as her due date approaches.
Anderson says Kim will have no problem regaining her pre-pregnancy body because she is already in tip-top shape.

Training schedule: Kim Kardashian, pictured here earlier in her pregnancy, has hired trainer Tracy Anderson to help her get back into shape after her baby is born

Tracy, who is also responsible for keeping Gwyneth Paltrow and Nicole Richie in shape, told HollywoodLife.com: 'I know she will. She's so young, and she's got me helping her, so she's going to look better after pregnancy than she's ever looked. I guarantee it.
