Avril Lavigne is a skater girl with a soft side as she frolics in pretty frilly bikini on her French party boat

Avril Lavigne is clearly determined to relax and have a good time on her holiday in France. 

The Canadian singer was clearly enjoying herself as she returned to her St Tropez party yacht today wearing another stunning bikini. 

Clutching a drink, the 26-year-old showed off her enviably toned figure in a blue and white checked two piece.

At one point, she sported a large white floppy hat to shade herself from the sun, and handed a drink to friends.

 

It's the second day the star was spotted partying on the French yacht - yesterday she was seen in a bright strapless bikini diving into the water.

It's clearly a girly style holiday for the star - as there has been no sign of her boyfriend Brody Jenner, stepbrother to Kim, Khoe and Kourtney Kardashian.

Luckily today, Avril managed to avoid yesterday's wardrobe malfunctions which saw her bikini bottoms slipping down as she hauled herself out of the sea. 

However, she later preserved her modesty with a white sarong which she wrapped around her bikini bottoms. 

She also waved a cigarette around and danced on the luxury boat, which was adorned with an American flag.

Perhaps the star is taking time to relax before recording her next album - the sequel to this year's Goodbye Lullaby.

'I already have eight songs,' she recently told her Avril Lavigne fansite. 'I would like to release the fifth album really quick.'

She added: 'This record was more mellow, and the next one will be pop and more fun again. I already have a song that I know is going to be a single, I just need to re-record it!'

New love: Avril has been dating Brody Jenner since last year

Avril has been dating Brody since February last year following her split with husband Deryck Whibley, a guitarist with rock band Sum 41.

The couple were married for just over three years before announcing their split in September 2009 with their divorce finalised in November 2010.

The singer says writing songs about the emotional experience helped her through the split along with confiding in her girlfriends. 

'They were there for me,' she told TV Week magazine. 'It did me really good to be able to tell them everything.

'It helped me come to terms with the things that had happened.'

She added: 'It also helped put my feelings down in paper. It was comforting. It's always been like that for me. 

'When I was a kid, I had my diary to confide everything in. Now I write songs. It really was a form of healing.'

Avril has been dating Brody since February last year with the singer even having his name tattooed on her ribs, 

Brody also has her name tattooed on his arm.

Feeling indecisive? Fergie steps out in two dramatically different looks at amfAR awards in Paris

Someone was feeling a little indecisive last night. 

It seems that Fergie just couldn’t make up her mind when it came to what she was wearing and she stepped out in not one but two different outfits at the amfAR inspirational gala last night. 

The Black Eyed Peas singer showed off two dramatically different looks last night in Paris taking on a hard edgier look before slipping into something a little more seductive and feminine. 

  

Feeling indecisive: Fergie stepped out in not one but two dramatically different looks at the amfAR gala in Paris last night 

The 36-year-old arrived at the Inspiration Gala held at the Pavillon Gabriel in a fierce Louis Vuitton outfit consisting of a pair of tiny black hot pants, thick waistbelt, a cropped jacket with large fur sleeves and a pair of laced up patent boots. 

She had her hair slicked back and finished off her look with a pair of bright red lips and carried a small hard octagon LV clutch bag with tassel detail. 

To match her edgy look Fergie posed with a stern face, and plenty of attitude to match her outfit. 

Fashion friends: While the Black Eyed Peas singer arrived in Louis Vuitton outfit but later changed into a dress with by her friend Marc Jacobs

Nice view? Fergie showed off her derriere as her fashion friend Marc Jacobs appeared captivated by her sultry pose

However later in the evening as she went to collect her award for Piaget Award of Inspiration at the event she had transformed her look to ladylike chic in a demure polka dot dress with peplum detail by Marc Jacobs. 

Fergie had also taken her hair down and wore it in loose curls around her shoulders as she picked up the honour which recognised her activism and support of AIDS research programs.

The Californian singer has not been having a good week in Paris from a fashion point of view.

Earlier in the week, the songstress stepped out sporting very orange and streaky feet and wrists, having clearly not followed the golden rules of fake tan application.

Being honoured: Fergie was given the Piaget Award of Inspiration at the event and happily accepted her award

 

Girlie look: Fergie had changed from her fierce edgy look into a demure Marc Jacobs dress for the awards ceremony

Her mistake was highlighted even more by her pale white hands which appeared to have been missed during the process.

Her fashion faux pas follows an Allure Magazine interview in which she talked about her looks.

She said she was shocked when her look on a recent American Idol performance sparked plastic surgery rumours.

'I did two major drastic things, which is hair to the side - it was the first time - and the big neon lip,' she said.

'I wanted to try something different, and all of a sudden it was this big backlash. 

Loved-up: Emily attended the event with her boyfriend Max Irons, the son of British actor Jeremy Irons

Cute display: Emily and Max met in Los Angeles, but Max lives in London and commutes out there for work

'People were saying 'It's a fake Fergie.'

'I heard about some ridiculous amount of money that I spent on my face, which I think is absolutely insane.'

While the singer may have been attempting to put her best fashion foot forward changing her outfit her decision may have been influenced after spotting Sucker Punch star Emily Browning with the same Louis Vuttion hardcase clutch bag in a gold version of her silver one.

The 22-year-old actress showed arrived wearing a short playsuit and sexy knee-high socks.

Stunning: Diane Kruger looked amazing in red, while Dita Von Teese looked immaculate in her midnight blue dress

 

Lady in red: Diane looked stunning in her scarlet plunging dress which revealed perhaps a little too much of her chest than she may have realised

Emily also posed up with her boyfriend, the devastatingly handsome Max Irons, who looked smart in a black tuxedo.

The Australian actress Emily and Max, the son of British actor Jeremy Irons, started dating last year and looked happier than ever as they kissed and cuddled on the red carpet.

Diane Kruger and Dita Von Teese were also at the event and opted for all out glamour on the red carpet. 

The 34-year-old German actress looked showstopping in a plunging scarlet gown with matching red lips and wore her hair in a top knot bun. 

Burlesque dancer Dita also opted for a floor length frock and dazzled in a midnight blue that emphasised her voluptuous curves and tiny waist.

Not hungry? Elizabeth Hurley and Shane Warne ignore their food and lunch on each other instead on restaurant date

They may have been heading out for lunch but it seems eating was the last thing on Elizabeth Hurley and Shane Warne's minds this afternoon.

The couple, who last night stole the show at Sir Elton John's White Tie and Tiara Ball, appeared entirely enamoured with each other as they popped out for a bite to eat.

Elizabeth and Shane, who started dating last December, couldn't stop kissing as they lunched in London.

Lunch date: Following their appearance at Sir Elton John's White Tie and Tiara Ball last night, Elizabeth Hurley and Shane Warne headed out to grab some lunch this afternoon

Not hungry? But the pair seemed more interested in lunching on each other than eating their food

The couple certainly looked smart on their lunch date, with Elizabeth donning a navy jersey dress similar to the Issa number sported by Kate Middleton in her and Prince William's engagement photo.

Meanwhile, cricketer Shane looked dapper in a pair of dark blue jeans, white shirt and black jacket.

Last night, the pair cut quite a dash as they headed to the annual fundraising event held at Sir Elton and partner David Furnish's Windsor Home, but the main talking point was Mr Warne's distinctly smoother face. 

 

Puckering up: The pair, who have been dating since last December, kissed and cuddled as they made the most of their time together

In recent weeks, observers have noted that the cricketer's formerly weathered, rough and ready appearance has altered somewhat thanks primarily to his weight loss, though he has rubbished any suggestion of surgery.

Last week, cosmetic surgeon Dr Shahab Mahdi told the Daily Star: "The difference in Shane's appearance is dramatic. In my opinion it looks as though he has had a facelift.'

His army of followers are not convinced either, accusing Shane of having a little help in the anti-ageing department.

 

Smart: While Elizabeth looked smart in a navy jersey dress, Shane wore a pair of dark jeans and black jacket

One fan took to Twitter, saying: 'He looks like a waxwork, all plucked and sculptured.'

Another blogger from the social networking site wrote: 'How much surgery has shane warne had? Lol, the male version of jordan!'

However the 41-year-old bowler defended himself, retaliating with: 'Questions re faclift/ Botox etc are absolute rubbish.'

Red carpet debut: Elizabeth and Shane were last night seen leaving the model's London home to head to Sir Elton John's White Tie and Tiara Ball

 

Smooth operator: Shane Warne as he was in 2005 and how he now looks six years on

The sportsman is believed to have lost around 22lbs over the last few months, largely due to his girlfriend's influence.

In fact, Shane has now completely changed the way he thinks about food, as he showed on his Twitter page when he asked his followers for advice on what to eat.

He tweeted: 'Feel like a hot pie with copious amounts of sauce with crinkle cut chips!! What the best pie?'

You old smoothie: Shane Warne's altered appearance has led to speculation from some observers

New look: The cricketer has shed his rough and ready image for a more dapper, smooth look

But Shane then added just minutes later: 'NO Shane!! 78kg is target currently 82.5. Settle on a protein shake with an apple and banana - sob.'

In the fashion stakes Elizabeth stuck to her usual formula in a floor-sweeping animal-print gown.

She admitted to her Twitter followers earlier in the day that she had been struggling to decide what to wear.

She wrote: 'Off to Elton & David's White Tie & Tiara Aids fundraiser. Can't decide which dress......'

The feeling is mutual! Tiffani Amber Thiessen returns the favour with a Justin Bieber T-shirt

Justin Bieber proved he was a big Tiffani Amber Thiessen fan at the MuchMusic Awards on Sunday.

And now it is clear the feeling is mutual.  

Just days after the 17-year-old walked the red carpet wearing a Saved By The Bell T-shirt featuring her character Kelly Kapowski, Tiffani returned the favour by wearing a T-shirt with Bieber on the front.

The 37-year-old White Collar star rocked the fan favourite with dark jeans and a black blazer to the New York screening of the film Horrible Bosses. 

Tiffani played the role of Kelly in Saved By The Bell from 1989 to 1993, just one year before Bieber was even born.

She then went on to star in Married...With Children, Blossom and Beverly Hills 90210, making her favourite pin-up for teenage boys during the nineties.

Justin was this week involved in a scuffle as he made his way into Macy's Herald Square in New York for his new perfume launch. 

But People reported that when he went outside to see fans, a plain-clothes police officer jumped in to try and protect him from fans and ended up getting into a scuffle with of of Bieber's security guards.

Bieber’s spokesperson Matthew Hiltzik told the New York Post: ‘It was a momentary well-intentioned misunderstanding and the event went well. He’s completely fine and has no injuries.’

The singer was reportedly shaken up by the incident, which saw the bodyguard issued a summons for disorderly conduct.
