Michael Forever Tribute Concert: A Complete Look


Slowly but surely bringing the family's newest addition out on their routine weekend outings, Jessica Alba and Cash Warren took Honor Marie and baby Haven out to eat in West Hollywood on Saturday (October 8).

The "Sin City" actress and her helpful hubby both dutifully tended to their little ones as they headed to Dominick's restaurant for a delicious brunch.

Of her daughter, who was welcomed into the world on August 13th, Miss Alba recently told People magazine, “She just started smiling."

The 30-year-old proud mama added, “[The other] morning Cash was talking in her ear, whispering and kissing her and she was smiling the whole time. It’s an amazing connection.”

Showing off her flawless post-baby body, Miranda Kerr took over cover duties for the November 2011 issue of Harper's Bazaar Australia.

Baring all for the magazine, the 28-year-old supermodel was photographed by Simon Lekias and styled by Jillian Davison for the not-to-be-missed spread.

With the interview quickly turning to Miss Kerr and husband Orlando Bloom's nine month old son Flynn, the Aussie beauty adorably referred to her little guy as a "bundle of love".

"It's the best thing I've ever done," she dished about her newfound parental role. "Becoming a mother puts everything into perspective. You become more comfortable in your own skin."

And while she already returned to the runway while strutting her stuff during multiple shows at the recent Paris Fashion Week S/S 2012 festivities, Miranda told that she hasn't ruled out trying her luck at acting.

Of the possibility of changing over to her hubby's profession, Kerr said, "If someone approached me and it sounded interesting, I wouldn't be opposed to it."

Still battling health woes, Zsa Zsa Gabor was once again taken to the hospital to receive a higher level of care on Saturday (October 8).

The 94-year-old was reportedly taken to the UCLA Medical Center due to a rising fever and troubles with her feeding tube.

Commenting on the situation, Gabor's husband, Frederic von Anhalt, said that his wife is is "very unstable" condition at the current time.

The sad news comes after Zsa Zsa has suffered a broken hip and multiple blood clots over the past year - while she also had her leg partially amputated back in January.

As she readies for the November 7th release of "Here I Am" in the UK, Kelly Rowland got a jumpstart on promotions by gracing the cover of the November 2011 issue of Cosmopolitan UK.

The former Destiny's Child singer showed off her fit and fine figure in a sizzling spread while opening up to the magazine about topics ranging from her estranged father to her breast enhancement procedure.

Highlights from Kelly's interview are as follows. For more, be sure to visit Cosmopolitan UK!

On her feelings towards her estranged father:
“I haven’t seen my dad for almost 20 years. It’s nothing I want a pity party for. He left me and my mum, and I was angry. I wanted to be a daddy’s girl so bad. God damn The Cosby Show because that made me think ‘Why aren’t my family like that?’ But this is not a perfect world”.

On getting a boob job:
“I said in an interview a long time ago that I’d get it done because I just had little nuggets for boobs and it was bothering me. The decision was 10 years in the making so I’m comfortable talking about it. It’s something I really wanted to do for myself – not for a man, not for work, for myself… and I love them”.

On why she broke off her engagement to American footballer Roy Williams in 2005 when she was 24:
“I was too young for marriage. I remember my sister B [Beyonce] asked me one question: she said, ‘Well, you know what you want now, don’t you?’ and I was like ‘Yes’. It was so hard and embarrassing because everyone knew. I’d posed for the front cover of a magazine in my wedding dress and it was on sale! But sometimes you fall down and you learn from it”.

Enjoying a romantic night out on the town, Paul McCartney and fiance Nancy Shevell dined at Cecconi's restaurant in Mayfair, London, UK on Friday (October 7).

Looking very much in love, the former Beatles band member and his American heiress fiance were arm-in-arm as they breezed past paparazzi upon finishing their evening meal.

The sighting comes as the pair has a big weekend ahead of them - as reports tell that Sir Paul and Nancy are readying to tie the knot.

"They have been given special dispensation by the council to marry on Sunday and have chosen what would have been the groom's former bandmate John Lennon's 71st birthday for their big day," the Daily Mail tells.

Followed by a sure-to-be grand reception at McCartney's back garden, the two are staying mum about the alleged nuptials, with the Daily Mail report adding, "Neither of them want a huge fuss made and the main priority for both was family."

Gathering together to remember the man who changed music forever, a star-studded lineup took over the stage at the "Michael Forever" Tribute Concert in Cardiff, Wales on Saturday night (October 8).

Held as a commemoration of Michael Jackson, the Millennium Stadium venue was packed with 50,000 attendees as Jamie Foxx and Fearne Cotton tended to co-hosting duties.

Drawing the loudest applause of the night were the King of Pop's three children, as Paris, Prince and Blanket stood in front of the crowd clad in MJ-esque attire.

Speaking only briefly, 13-year-old Paris said to those who came out for the show, "We're very happy to be here on this special night to honor our father."

With performances by the likes of Leona Lewis, Christina Aguilera, Ne-Yo, Gladys Knight, Smokey Robinson, Cee Lo Green and Jackson family members including La Toya, Tito, Marlonand Jackie, Mr Foxx announced prior to the onset of the festivities, "Tonight is a history lesson. We're going to cover five decades of greatness."

Meanwhile, Smokey was happy to bring Michael's music back to the forefront rather than the headline-dominating trial of Dr Conrad Murray, as he said, "This is a great counter-act to that. And it gives people something happy to do, rather than thinking about what's going on in the trial."

Ne-Yo added, "It's not about the controversy. It's not about the trial. It's not about his death. It's about celebrating his life. It's about celebrating his music."
