Justin Bieber in "totally reckless" 100mph high speed car chase through LA
Justin Bieber was apparently involved in a 100mph chase in LA as he tried to get away from paparazzi.
The man/boy (we're still confused) was given a speeding ticket by police at about 10.45am yesterday but insisted he was being chased by five or six other cars.
This claim is backed by a local councillor called Dennis Zine, who called authorities after seeing Bieber's distinctive chrome Fisker Karma being chased.
Zine, who was a Los Angeles police officer for 33 years ( with 18 of them spent as an LAPD motor cop), reckons that the chase exceeded 100mph as paparazzi engaged in wild manoeuvres to keep up with Bieber, including driving on the hard shoulder and cutting up other vehicles.
Zine told TMZ said he saw Bieber's car drive up behind him and zoom around him, weaving wildly in and out of traffic while the other cars gave chase and reckons his estimate that he was driving at 100mph wer e "conservative".
Bieber was given a speeding ticket, but Zine reckons he should have been pulled off the road for driving recklessly and speeding. Even though the paps were hounding him he was still endangering lives. He said: "This was very bizarre, very outrageous and showed a total disregard for life and property.
"The way [Bieber] was driving was totally reckless, I would have arrested him if I had pulled him over," he said. "I wouldn't have given him a ticket and let him go."
TMZ are reporting that a total of 10 other drivers called 911 and that a member of Bieber's security team was in the passenger seat during the chase.
Last April Bieber called off a meeting with the Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem, saying he had cancelled partly because he did not want to face the country's notoriously aggressive paparazzi.
Rihanna on heartbreak: "I never thought I'd feel that pain in my life. I'm afraid of feeling that again"
Rihanna has spoken to Harper's Bazaar US magazine about how hard she finds it to let people in after having her heart stomped on before. She also talks about the controversy surrounding her decision to record two duets with ex-boyfriend Chris Brown.
The 24-year-old said, "I'm rebellious through my music, my fashion, tattoos and my hair. I have been conservative in my love life...it's pretty much nonexistent. If I come across someone who I find really cool, I'll hang out. But the minute I find that we're getting too close I just...I don't let people in."
It's a refreshing bit of honesty from the star who always seems so strong, confident and completely unflappable.
She goes onto reveal, "When I was in love, I fell so hard...The way it made me feel was priceless. And in a blind of an eye my whole life changed. Everything that I knew was different. I never thought I'd feel that pain in my life. I'm afraid of feeling that again."

While she doesn't specifically name Chris Brown as the person who hurt her, they did go through a devastating and dramatic public break-up in 2009.
The rapper was arrested and charged for assault after hitting Rihanna in a car on the way to the Grammy Awards. A restraining order was issued, although later lifted.
We've only just noticed how cool Rihanna's nails are in this picture
Â
She and Brown started talking again and controversially even recorded two duets together earlier this year - Birthday Cake and Turn Up The Music.
She tells Harper's, "The fans could have said, 'We don't want anything to do with it'. I understood that people had every right to be concerned about it, but I didn't see it that way because I'm in a different place."
Rihanna's father recently told Grazia magazine that he thinks they were "the perfect couple" and that he hopes they get back together. Which is a smidgen terrifying, but we're pretty sure that's the last thing she's thinking about at the moment as her beloved grandmother passed away earlier this week and she dropped everything and rushed back to the States to support her mum.
On a lighter note (that's a joke - you'll get it at the end of the next sentence) Rihanna also talks about how she'd like to put on some weight. (See?) She says, "I don't know if there's something going on with my body right now, but I'm eating everything in life!
"I miss my ass. It just went away! I need a butt. I have an idea of one, but it's not living up to its full potential right now."
The August issue of Harper's Bazaar is out on July 17
Benedict Cumberbatch: "I wish my 15-year-old self had known about my allure to the opposite sex"
Yeah, we're in love with The Cumberbatch. Every since the silky voiced 36-year-old gave Sherlock a massive dose of the 'yeah, we totally woulds', we've become a bit obsessed with him. And we're not alone. In a new interview with Instyle magazine, the actor talks about his new-found sex appeal and particularly the Twitter fan account, @Cumberbitches, that has been set up in his honour and has nearly 30,000 followers.
"I wish my 15-year-old self had known about my allure to the opposite sex! It's flattering, though I do worry about what it says for feminism, it's quite a perjorative term. Cumberbabes might be better."
Can you imagine Benedict saying "Cumberbabes" in that melodic voice. *swoons like Victorian maiden subsequently undoing years of feminist groundwork*
The only problem with pictures is we can't hear his lovely baritone voice
Â
He also talks about being a single man after splitting up with The Thick Of It actress Olivia Poulet last year after 12 years together. The interviewer asks him if he's enjoying being a batchelor (Cumber-batchelor?): "Yes and no. I have a sort of clock ticking. I'd really like to be a dad before I'm 40, but at the same time I'm in this weird territory where people know me before I know them."
That gives us four years to stalk him, make him love us and then convince him we should be the mother of his children. Wow, I think we may have just crossed some kind of line. What a strange feeling.
The Batch is currently a busy man and has recently been in LA filming his role as the villain in the second Star Trek movie and has already shot his scenes for upcoming mega-movie The Hobbit in which he plays Smaug The Dragon: "It's an extrapolation of a performance into something other than an actor. But essentially [even though you're in front of a green screen], you're still doing a scene."Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
He can rock blonde or brunette Â
He mentions how he nabbed a voiceover role in The Simpsons: "I was at a meeting yesterday in the same place The Simpsons is recorded and heard there was a part going in an episode. I said, 'I hate to muscle in here, guys, but could I record it?' Next thing, I'm standing in a room with all those famous voices: Bart, Marge, Homer, Lisa..."
He also talks about how weird it is being recognised now after a decade of hard slog: "I'm quite sensitive to people noticing me. There are times when I'm relaxed, then others when it does make me self-conscious. I'm not complaining - it's all come from good things...
"I'm glad it all came when it did. I think it's wonderful that you can go from 19-year-old unknown to superstardom, but for me, having a slightly harder time of it to begin with, doing a lot of theatre work and with every penny counting, means I'm humbled by the reality of the profession."
The full interview is out soon in August's issue of InStyle magazine.

'He was totally reckless': Justin Bieber gets speeding ticket after 100mph chase through LA
Justin Bieber was apparently involved in a 100mph chase in LA as he tried to get away from paparazzi.
The teenage heart-throb was given a speeding ticket by police at about 10.45am yesterday but insisted he was being chased by five or six other cars.
The claim of a chase is backed by a local councillor called Dennis Zine, who called authorities after seeing Bieber's distinctive chrome Fisker Karma being chased.
Mr Zine, who was a Los Angeles police officer for 33 years, reckons that the chase exceeded 100mph as paparazzi engaged in wild manoeuvres to keep up with Bieber, including driving on the hard shoulder and cutting up other vehicles.
Mr Zine said he saw Bieber's car drive up behind him and zoom around him, weaving wildly in and out of traffic while the other cars gave chase.
Bieber was breaking the law by driving recklessly and speeding and the paparazzi were breaking the la w by hounding him, he claimed.
"This was very bizarre, very outrageous and showed a total disregard for life and property," Mr Zine said.
Can I help, officer? Justin talking to police on a previous occasion Â
Zine, a witness to countless crashes and fatalities during his police career, said he was surprised no-one crashed.
"The way (Bieber) was driving was totally reckless, I would have arrested him if I had pulled him over," he said. "I wouldn't have given him a ticket and let him go."
Yesterday's incident is not the only conflict between the floppy-haired singer and the paparazzi.
In May, a photographer called authorities, complaining he was roughed up by the star in The Commons at Calabasas shopping centre.
Authorities said the scuffle happened when a photographer tried to take photos of Bieber and his girlfriend Selena Gomez.
Last April Bieber called off a meeting with the Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem, saying he had cancelled partly because he did not want to face the country's notoriously aggressive paparazzi.
Cheryl signs deal for tell-all autobiography. Ashley Cole: you have our permission to panic
Is it too early to start queueing? Cheryl Cole has signed a megabucks deal with publisher HarperCollins to write her life-story.
The book is due to come out on October 11 with the money men hoping it'll hit the bestseller lists in time for Christmas.
(She'll have to get cracking. Two months to write, edit, publish and market a book? Sheesh.)
The book is expected to go into detail about her marriage and split from love rat ex-husband Ashely Cole - which is really what everyone wants to read about, isn't it? Just us? Don't lie.
We bet Ashley won't enjoy this news. Anyone got his phone number?
Â
The book will cover her childhood and her rise to fame through ITV talent show Popstars: The Rivals. It should also cover her brief tenure as a judge on The X Factor US - and her subsequent firing by mate and mentor Simon Cowell.
We're guessing Simon might feature heavily in the book - especially as he talked about her in his biography by Tom Bower.
This is exactly the expression Simon is going to pull when he hears about the book
Â
HarperCollins said, "For the first time Cheryl will tell her story in full in her own words."
We're so excited we almost forgot it's nearly dinner time. Now we're excited about this and dinner. The scandal! The gossip! The cheating!          Â
Hurray! It's revenge time!
Â
We just hope she doesn't skim over the whole break-up bit. Not because we're gossip vultures (okay, not only because we're gossip vultures) but because it always gets right up our noses when people write 'autobiographies' and skip out massive chunks of their lives. You can't suddenly think "well, this isn't their business" if you're writing a bloody autobiography. By the very nature of the process you're saying your life is our business.
Anyway - back to the book.
Carole Tonkinson, publisher for Harper non-fiction, said, "Cheryl Cole is the nation's sweetheart. We are absolutely thrilled to be publishing her story.
"Cheryl's an amazing woman with a capacity to inspire everyone. She emerges from every challenge stronger and with more grace and good humour and beauty - inner and outer.
"We're still pinching ourselves that Cheryl chose us as her publisher and we're going to do everything in our power to make this the Christmas number one."
Can you even begin to imagine how much they must have paid her? Is that crass? Sorry. (Not really.)
The Girls Aloud girls will no doubt play a starring role
Â
Cheryl has previously said she would consider writing a book about her life - mainly because there are so many unauthorised ones doing the rounds: "I see these girls that say, 'This is literally like a bible for me - I read it and I hang off every word it says', and I've had nothing to do with it. I don't have the heart to say 'this book is almost completely made up'."
Millie Mackintosh gives us hair envy in new photoshoot
These pics of Made in Chelsea hotpot Millie Mackintosh have made us feel a little bit ashamed about our greasy, split-end ridden locks.
The pictures were taken for hair care brand Umberto Giannini. When she starred in a sexy online novel for the company in March of this year, sales of their Incredible Body range rose by a hair-raising (geddit? GEDDIT?) 80%.
Oh, Prof Green - you're a lucky man
Â
She starred as a femme fatale (with awesome hair, obviously) who seduces a barman by stripping off and flashing her 'Incredible Body'. Geddit? Okay, we'll stop asking now.
We want this top/dress. Anyone know what it is?
Â
Millie apparently even postponed her holiday so she could do the photoshoot. And we're glad she did because she looks amazing and we get to stare and point at her lovely face.
Speaking about the shoot Millie said, "In the online novel I played a super sexy femme fatale. This latest shoot gave me the chance to try some completely different hair styles.
"All the styles have volume and body but all look so different, I love them!
"My two favourite products from the range are the Root Boost Volume Spray and the Volume Mousse For Big Hair."
Okay, we're sold. Give us the products
Â
Millie is also the face and body of St Tropez tan and, oh pretty much everything else.
She's also busy supporting her boyfriend, Professor Green, at his various gigs around the country. According to his Twitter page he's off to Ibiza for two weeks from tomorrow. Wonder if she'll be joining him? If she is can we borrow her hair until she's back?

Conor Maynard tells us about naked modelling, his celebrity crushes and that odd thing he does with his hand... (VIDEO)
Â
Houston, we think we have a problem - we seem to have developed a crush on a man who has a penchant for silly hats.
When we met Conor Maynard earlier this week after he performed super intimate gig at Spotify (he could see our face when he was singing, it was off putting for us, so God knows how he felt), we were pleasantly surprised to discover that the 19 year old is a thoroughly nice chap.
Following the huge success of Can't Say No, which sat at number 2 in the chart for well ages in March, Conor is releasing second single Vegas Girl on 22 July, which features a lady with lovely boobies in the music video (obviously we had to point this out to the teenage singer in our chat).
Speaking of ladies with boobies (fact: most ladies have them), it turns out that Conor actually can say no to some of them - namely Tulisa. That's about the only one though - watch the video above to find out who Conor does fancy cracking onto in the near future.
And somet hing else he can say no to (we're starting to think his song was a lie. A LIE!) is naked modelling. We know, it's a damn shame.
Find out more on this - and all about Conor's secret hand signs and his favourite type of cheese above.
Conor's debut album Contrast will be available on Spotify on July 30 - but if you can't wait until then, listen to some of his jazzy songs here.
Not allowed within 300 yards of him: Woman who smashed Simon Cowell's window with brick is banned from contacting him
A 30-year-old woman has admitted smashing a window at music supremo Simon Cowell's London home with a broken brick.
Leanne Zaloumis was granted bail at Isleworth Crown Court in west London, but told she must not attempt to contact Cowell, or go within 300 yards of his Holland Park property.
The defendant, of Catford, south east London, admitted being in possession of a brick with the intent to damage or destroy property, and breaking a window on March 24, but pleaded not guilty to two other counts of affray and burglary.
Cowell was watching TV in his bedroom when he heard a "loud bang" coming from his bathroom.
Zaloumis was taken to Notting Hill police station after being found inside a walk-in wardrobe at the mansion, a previous hearing was told.
She was also accused of shouting at Cowell and hurling items at his bathroom window while standing on a roof outside.
The 52-yea r-old X Factor judge called his staff and was taken back to his bedroom during the incident at around 10.30pm on the Saturday night.
Zaloumis appeared in the dock today with her hair tied back, wearing a black T-shirt and a zipped sweatshirt.
Emily Dunnett, prosecuting, accepted the not guilty pleas on behalf of the Crown.
Judge John Denniss did not sentence Zaloumis today because of administrative delays, but granted conditional bail because she has already served around three months in custody.
As well as banning her from contacting Cowell, which he described as like a "restraining order", he told her she must stay at her home address, remain inside between 7pm and 7am and wear an electronic tag.
A sentencing date of August 2 was fixed by Judge Denniss, but he told the court he will not be sentencing Zaloumis.
He explained that as the defendant has already spent 102 days behind bars, that would be the equivalent to an appropriate sentenc e.
"This is sufficient punishment in my view," he said.
"But I think for your own protection, and for the protection of the public, that it is appropriate for an order of supervision for 12 months."
He warned Zaloumis that if she breaks her bail conditions, she will return to prison.
Cowell was not present at the hearing but his spokesman, Max Clifford, said: "He is glad that the judge was understanding and sympathetic, and hopes that she gets some help and support."
“I call him in tears saying I’ve been dumped’": How Andrew Lloyd Webber helps to mend his daughter's broken heart
ANDREW Lloyd Webber never stops. Despite being a year off ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂbus-pass age, tonight the multimillionaire theatre impresario launches yet another talent show.
Having already found a Maria, Nancy, Joseph and an Oliver, he’s now in search of a Jesus to star in a spectacular arena version of his 1970s smash Jesus Christ Superstar.
On top of writing the official Diamond Jubilee song, Lord Lloyd-Webber has been busy working on Superstar, which is hosted by Amanda Holden.
Dawn French, Jason Donovan, Mel C and his casting guru David Grindrod are among the judging and casting team.
But, despite all this, the 64-year-old has still found time to play agony aunt.
When his daughter Imogen recently split from her doctor boyfriend, he was the first person she called.
The broadcaster and writer admits she always calls her dad when she is heartbroken.
With three marriages under his belt, you would imagine Lord Lloyd-Webb er would be an expert in the ways of the heart. But apparently he is often lost for an answer.
“Dad is still the first person I call when I am dumped because he can never understand it.
“I call him in tears saying ‘Oh, God, I’ve been dumped’, but dads can’t understand why anyone could not love their daughter and not think they are the most beautiful, amazing creature in the world,†she laughs.
“At that moment you need that adoration.â€
Close: The pair at a premiere in New York
At 35, Imogen â€" ironically the author of the bestselling The Single Girl’s Survival Guide â€" has found herself alone again.
“I have just been ditched, so I am abiding by the book’s rules. The first one is to throw yourself into work, so that’s what I have been doing, working 15-hour days.
“I liked him, I thought he was one of the good ones, but it didn’t work.
“We had been together long enough that I thought it might work â€" but, no.
“I have grown up, I think. It was the first relationship I have had that wasn’t with someone ridiculous. He had a proper job and was absolutely lovely. Never mind... next!â€
Her father has already become a grandad thanks to her brother, Nicholas, so she says the pressure is now off. But that doesn’t mean she has given up hope of starting a family.
“If it happens, it happens,†she says. “If it doesn’t, so be it. I wrote in the book that maybe I’d adopt one day, I don’t kn ow. I am not the kind of person who would raise a child on her own.
“I certainly wouldn’t rule out adoption or freezing my eggs if that’s what it came down to. If it turns out I cannot have a baby, there are millions of children out there who need a good home.
“But I refuse to believe you are not complete if you are on your own and you haven’t had a baby.â€
Growing up with a super-rich dad hasn’t meant doors have automatically opened for Imogen, nor that she has never had to worry about money.
Home is a rented flat in New York. Her father might be the man behind huge shows including Evita, Cats and Starlight Express, which he wrote for Imogen, but from an early age he told his five children he would not be leaving them his cash and they would have to make their own way in the world.
Her father has figured largely in her life, despite splitting from her mother, Sarah Hugill, when she was six. Life was a mixture of boring routine look ed after by her mum, punctuated by glitzy showbiz excess with her father.
Glitzy: Imogen, brother Nicholas and dad in 1989
“My parents are great friends. I get on very well with Madeline, my stepmum, so it has all worked out for the best. They were so young when they married â€" my mum had had two husbands and two kids by the time she was my age.
“I had a pretty normal upbringing. I lived with my mum from the age of six, so it was the Tube to school and beans on toast for tea. Then, occasionally, we would do something crazy. We would go to the Oscars, or Starlight Express was written for us, then we would go back to normality.
“We were very conscious of how lucky we were.â€
Imogen is grateful her father told her she won’t see a penny of his fortune.
“He has been absolutely brilliant about that. When he came out and said it, we all knew a long time before and that’s why I am, hopefully, a normal person.
“I think he has done well with all his kids and none of us feel entitled. We all know we have got to work. I have been busting my gut on three full-t ime jobs for quite a while now. He has given us a good work ethic and he gave me the gift of a great education, which I have used.â€
After her self-help book, Imogen did promotional work on American TV that led to her landing a job as a liberal pundit on the right-wing Fox network. Now she is a presenter on the rival MSNBC channel.
“I spent a lot of time failing as a writer,†she confesses. “I had one very successful book but before that I wrote books that never got published.
"Then I got all this telly work in America and thought ‘I will always write, so why not move to America and give it a go?’
"I was single, so I went. It was the biggest risk of my life. I moved continent, away from everything I love, my family and friends. It was very frightening.
“Nobody knew who my father was. I worked with business journalists for six months and one day they turned around and said ‘Is Andrew Lloyd Webber your father? Why didn’t you tel l us?’â€
Panel: Superstar line-up of Jason Donovan, Mel Chisholm and David Grindrod. Andrew Lloyd Webber
Imogen has been working on the screenplay of The Single Girl’s Survival Guide after it was bought by Lloyd Levin, the Bafta-winning producer behind United 93, Die Hard 2 and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider.
The script is now doing the rounds of Hollywood’s A-list female stars.
Imogen has also just written a Âbestselling ebook with Sky Sports presenter Georgie Thompson, Declan Donnelly’s ex-girlfriend, called The Twitter Diaries â€" hailed as Bridget Jones does social networking.
In it, two female friends â€" one a New York shoe designer, the other a British sports presenter â€" develop a trans-Atlantic friendship via Twitter. Like the characters in their book, they helped each other through their romantic problems.
“I’d be there crying ‘It’s all gone wrong’, and Georgie would make me laugh.
"She was on the end of Skype when I split up with the doctor and I was there for her when she split with Dec. She has been a fantastic friend,†Imogen saysâ€
She adds her father struggles with technology, only getting an email account recently. “Dad has a Twitter account but, as he types so badly, dictates his tweets.
“He only started emailing last year. The first I got from him I thought was spam. Then I saw the e-mail address and howled with laughter.â€
Superstar or not, Lord Lloyd- Webber clearly has his limits.
THE TWITTER DIARIES: 2 CITIES, 1 FRIENDSHIP, 140 CHARACTERS, £6.99, PUBLISHED BY BLOOMSBURY READER, IS OUT IN PAPERBACK ON AUGUST 16.
Brad Pitt’s mum writes an anti-gay marriage letter, standing in the way of her son’s wedding to Angelina Jolie
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie surprised us all by getting engaged earlier this year, after openly stating that they wouldn’t tie the knot until same sex marriage is legal across the States.
The couple are still hoping to hold out until this is the case â€" with Brad revealing that no date has been set for the big day. The actor said in May: “We truly have no date. I'm still hoping we'll figure out our marriage equality in the States before then.â€
So, why then, is Brad’s mum indirectly standing in the way of the best showbiz wedding ever (well, since his first one) by writing an anti-gay marriage letter to a newspaper in America?
Not only is s he directly opposing a cause that her son works tirelessly for, but her comments could delay their ceremony even more. Why, Jane, WHY?
Ange is very close to Brad's mum - here they are bonding
Â
In the letter that she wrote to her local paper, the Springfield News-Leader, on Tuesday, Jane Pitt described herself as a “Christian [who differs] with the Mormon religion.â€
She added: "Any Christian should spend much time in prayer before refusing to vote for a family man with high morals, business experience, who is against abortion, and shares Christian conviction concerning homosexuality just because he is a Mormon.â€
Mrs Pitt went on: “Any Christian who does not vote or writes in a name is casting a vote for Romney’s opponent, Barack Hussein Obama - a man who sat in Jeremiah Wright’s church for years, did not hold a public ceremony to mark the National Day of Prayer, and is a liberal who supports the killing of unborn babies and same-sex marriage.â€
See! Here's Brad at the White House. Pretty cool, huh? Â
There was a lot of confusion after Jane’s letter was published, with some doubt about whether it was actually Brad’s mum.
However, the newspaper confirmed that it WAS written by the showbiz mom, releasing the following statement: “Editor's note: To clear up earlier confusion, the News-Leader has verified the letter writer is the mother of actor Brad Pitt and local businessman Doug Pitt.â€
Katy Perry dismisses her relationship with Rob Ackroyd as ‘not serious’ (here’s to hoping he already knew that)
We’re feeling a tad awkward for Rob Ackroyd right now â€" Katy Perry has just thrown a massive custard pie right across the Atlantic Ocean and straight into his face.
Despite all the gushing that Rob did about Katy in a recent interview, the singer has dismissed their fling (see proof of it here) as nothing serious.
And when asked  whether they were officially boyfriend and girlfriend or if it was purely ‘about sex’, he replied: “No, no, it’s not like that.
“Um, more like the other one... She’s the real deal.â€
Better luck next time, eh Rob?
If Rob finds this a tad embarrassing, he probably shouldn’t watch Katy’s film Part Of Me. It hears the 27 year old stating that she doesn’t want to find a new man.
She says: “For me, right now, I'm totally not looking. I'm just looking to heal. And I'm on that path. My fairy tale has absolutely changed. I don't need the Prince Charming to have my own happy ending. I can make the happy ending myself.â€
Yes, ogling hot men is fun. Okay, more than fun. It's an essential part of our day - like lunch followed by cake at 3pm.
But as much as we like to celebrate male beauty, 3am is all about worshiping the wonderful world of women too - so we've put together a list of our top 100 female celebrity crushes.
This isn't just about hotness - although that's taken into consideration - it's about women who make us feel inspired and powerful and like we could be rich and famous too if we ever get round to leaving our sofa.
These women are kick-ass. And we'd be honoured if they ever decided to kick our ass. (We should say 'arse', but that sounds ridiculous.)
Have a look through our gallery below and let us know if we've missed anyone out, if you agree or disagree with our order and then take a moment to appreciate how long it took us to write all the captions.
Nicole Scherzinger jumps around in her bikini, like the happiest celebrity we've ever seen
We like going on holiday and hanging out at the beach and everything, but we don't know if we've ever had as much fun by the seaside as Miss Scherzinger here.
The singer was literally jumping for joy in the sand during her trip to Mexico yesterday, throwing her long deer-like legs into the air as she lept around for the camera.
We knew that she was a dancer, but check out that AIR. Mighty impressive.
Whether Nicole is really enjoying her job on The X Factor, still reeling from her reunion with man Lewis Hamilton or just a massive fan of the ocean, she couldn't have looked happier if she'd tried during this little shoot.
Check out her amazing holiday snaps below...

She's spending a few days in Cabo San Lucas this week, while Lewis gears up for the British Grand Prix over at Silverstone.
And given that it's chucking it down here in Britain, we don't blame Nicole for jetting off to the sunshine - we would if we had a few million in the bank too.
And if you weren't quite jealous enough of the 34 year old already, it turns out she's an awesome surfer too.
She was taking part in the Oakley's Learn to Ride event on the beach, which probably means that - in exchange for these snaps - she got a free trip. Hmph. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
