I get fashion inspiration off my dad': Leah Weller shows off her model looks on cover of Tatler as she reveals Modfather influence

She may be a beautiful model gracing the pages of fashion magazines.
But Paul Weller's daughter Leah has revealed she actually gets a lot of her fashion inspiration from the ageing rocker himself.
Leah Weller shows off her picture perfect looks on the front cover of March's Tatler magazine.

But while she looks stunning, revealing her body in a series of different outfits, she opens up about her style choices inside the pages.
She tells the magazine: 'I definitely get fashion inspiration from my dad, I love the way he dresses, and he loves his clothes.'
But you can't quite picture the Modfather wearing anything similar to that shown in the fashion shoot for the publication.

Not only does Leah show off her flawless look on the cover, but several pages are dedicated to her inside.

In one image the 21-year-old even shows off her cleavage in a floral bra underneath a see-through mesh top.
She wears her hair volumised with a high-waisted red skirt.
In another picture she smoulders at the camera while sporting a sequin jacket as she rests back on a bed.
Appearing in a couple of black and white shots as well she reveals her versatility as a model in the different poses and looks for the magazine.
But while she's clearly carving a success for herself in the modelling scene, it's not the only thing Weller is concentrating on.
And it seems it's not only fashion where she draws inspiration from her rocker father, either.
Leah is also determined to establish her own music career, adding: 'Modelling’s cool, but it’s also, like, I have to make music.  I’m working towards an album. And I DJ.  It’s a passion.'
But one thing's for sure - she's not engaged to her boyfriend, Tomo Kurata: 'I’m not sure where that came from. But, like, whatever. I just want to focus on my career.’

Even celebrities have cheat days! Jennifer Garner drops the diet to grab pizza with daughter Violet


She has a figure other women would kill for, but even Jennifer Garner enjoys the occasional cheat day.
The slender star stopped by Brentwood Country Mart to pick up what many actresses would consider banned - some pizza and carb loaded Italian.
Clearly excited to be ditching the carrot sticks for cheesy garlic sticks, Jen was all smiles as she picked up the tasty feast with daughter Violet in Santa Monica, California.

Showing off her super mum skills, Jennifer managed to make it to her car with a large pizza in one hand, a bag of sides over her arm and a drink holder with coffee - from her favourite Brentwood Country Mart store Cafe Luxx.
The mother of three was defeated by the car door however, forcing her to pop the pizza - from Los Angeles eatery Louise's Trattoria - down briefly to get all the food and her seven-year-old into the vehicle. 
The Dallas Buyer's Club actress donned a black and white stripped knitted sweater with tight blue jeans and knee high black boots for her food gathering outing.

Her tight jeans showed that despite not starving herself, Jennifer still has a svelte figure.
The actress - who is married to Argo star Ben Affleck - has previously said while she works hard in the gym she tries not to take fitness and diet too seriously.
The actress told SheKnows in a recent interview: 'One secret is to not freak out and not go so hard-core that I can’t sustain it, because I’ve done that before and it doesn’t work for me.'

And having cheat days is an important part of that.
'After everyone is in bed, I’ll go to a girlfriend’s house and have a glass of wine, and chocolate, and just dish.
'Then I switch to tea because I have to drive home. Time with your girlfriends is the most regenerative thing.'

The 40-year-old does have one tip for mothers on how she keeps her children - Violet, Seraphina, 4, and baby Samuel - and herself healthy.
'One thing I always do is right around 3 o’clock when everyone starts to get hungry, I make sure there are cut up vegetables out on the counter,' Jennifer said.
'There are carrots, bell peppers, sugar snap peas, lots of fresh vegetables. You have to have the food out in front of them.'

Cassie's Law: Unfit drivers to be banned from the road within hours of failing sight tests in memory of girl, 16, who was killed on pavement by 87-year-old

Drivers who are medically unfit to take the wheel will lose their licenses in a matter of hours after 45,000 people signed a petition in memory of a 16-year-old girl who was killed by a partially sighted 87-year-old.
Cassie McCord was hit by Colin Horsfall as she stood on the pavement, three days after he failed an eye test but refused to surrender his licence.
Her mother Jackie has campaigned for the past two years for a law to instantly bar unfit drivers.
The Department of Transport (DfT) has now announced it is working to 'accelerate' the process to enable officials to seize licences more quickly.
Currently, it can take days to revoke the licence of someone who has been deemed a danger by police.
But now the DVLA will inform people they can no longer legally drive within hours of being tipped off by police officers.
Although not a change in legislation, the procedural improvement has been dubbed Cassie's Law and has been hailed by police as a potential life-saver.
Mrs McCord, from Colchester, Essex, said: 'I am confident this is a really good solution.
'The fact the Department for Transport has listened to someone like me who has no power is amazing.
'Next week it will be two years since Cassie died. The timing could not be better.'
Cassie, who wanted to become a lawyer, was on her way to college when she was killed.
Police were in the process of trying to get Mr Horsfall's licence revoked when Cassie died.
Three days before he had driven into the exit of a petrol station in Colchester and then failed a police eye test.
He walked with a stick and used a zimmer frame but despite being urged to surrender his licence, he refused.
Police were applying to the DVLA for his licence to be revoked but the process took days. 
Mrs McCord had campaigned for a change in the law but the DfT said it instead has strengthened procedures to enable medically unfit drivers to be stopped quicker.
Under the previous system it would take the police up to four working days to notify the DVLA via post or fax.
The new plans will enable police to tell the DVLA about eye test failures more quickly through a new electronic system.
Drivers will be told they are not allowed to drive within a matter of hours of failing the test.
Those who drive after their licence has been revoked could be fined up to £5,000 or sentenced to up to six months in prison.

A DVLA spokeswoman said officials have been working with the Association of Chief Police Officers to introduce a faster system to deal with roadside eye test failures.
She said: 'This new process will reduce the risk of motorists whose eyesight has been identified by the police as not of the required standard for driving continuing to do so.'
The department said licences will not be revoked immediately but communication between the police and the DVLA will improve and allow licences to be seized within a matter of hours.
It will then be up to the DVLA to decide whether the licence should be returned or revoked.
Mrs McCord presented her petition to Road Safety Minister Stephen Hammond in October.
 

The MP said yesterday: 'We have every sympathy with Mrs McCord and would like to thank her for her valuable work in raising awareness of this issue.
'The DVLA and the police have worked closely to greatly streamline the process for revoking a licence when the police identify that a driver's eyesight is inadequate.
'The decision whether to revoke a driving licence on medical grounds remains with the DVLA, though the process for informing drivers that their licence has been revoked has now been accelerated.'
Alan Jones, the Police Federation's roads policing lead for England and Wales, welcomed the decision.
He said: 'It seems absolute nonsense a police officer who knows someone has defective eyesight has not be able to do anything.
'We believe what the Department for Transport has suggested is something which would work.
'I know Cassie's Law asked for the police officer to have the authority to suspend a licence.
'In this suggestion, the officer acts as a conduit and we are happy with that.'

The new process will be operational between 8am and 10pm Monday to Friday.
Mrs McCord, who also has a son Sam, 20, and is divorced from her children's father Graham, said: 'People are incredible. We could not have done this without all the people who have supported us and I do not have the words to express my gratitude to them.'
Mr Horsfall had pressed the accelerator on his automatic Astra instead of the brake when he hit Cassie.
Mrs McCord said: 'Colin Horsfall was just a very selfish man. I just feel that he knew he was unfit to drive but that didn't stop him.
'The police don't have the power to temporarily withhold a driver's licence. Had they had the power to do that, Cassie wouldn't be dead. And there are other tragedies like hers.'
Mr Horsfall was interviewed by police after the accident, at Colchester General Hospital, and was told Cassie had died.
He died three months later of his injuries and pneumonia.
Three days before Colin Horsfall crashed into Cassie he failed an eyesight test after a separate crash but refused to surrender his licence

I basically live in a sorority house with my girlfriends now,' reveals single Eva Longoria as she kicks up her heels in photo shoot



She may be 37, but Eva Longoria has revealed she lives like a sorority girl.

The 37-year-old actress, who's reportedly rekindled her relationship with ex-boyfriend Eduardo Cruz, revealed that she prefers having roommates to being alone.

The Desperate Housewives star flaunted her toned pins poolside in the spring issue of Cosmopolitan for Latinas magazine, which hits newsstands February 5.

'I grew up with three sisters and love a full house, I basically live in a sorority house now in West Hollywood with girlfriends,' Eva told the mag.

'My mother gave me one piece of advice that's always stuck with me. Don't forget where you came from.'

The Golden Globe-nominated actress and the 27-year-old brother of Penelope Cruz were spotted leaving Longoria's L.A. home separately Wednesday morning.

The on/off couple, who have a 10-year age gap, dated a year before splitting last March.

The single star then briefly dated NY Jets Quarterback Mark Sanchez until last October.

Eva divorced cheating basketballer Tony Parker in 2010 after six years of marriage, and she revealed that 'love did not work with' him.

Before the Spurs point guard, Longoria was married to General Hospital star Tyler Christopher from 2002 to 2004.

Eva reminded the world of her modeling roots for the Cosmo cover, which has the petite Latina in a periwinkle Maria Lucia Hohan frock, BCBG stilettos, and plenty of gold jewelry.

The politically-active star also discussed her philanthropy, reading up on Democracy, and her new female-oriented Las Vegas steakhouse, SHe.
'Latinas make up the largest labor pool in this economy. I want to invest directly in their success,' Eva said.

Earlier this week, Longoria donned a black jumpsuit and Christian Louboutins to moderate an onstage Q&A with Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor.

She then proudly posted candid snaps from the event to her 5 million Twitter followers.

'I've been studying the Constitution for myself but also as a way for me, as a Democrat, to comprehend the Right,' said Longoria.

'I think it's important that people who are politically active understand both sides. One of my biggest pet peeves is speaking out of ignorance.'

Eva recently wrapped the film Frontera in New Mexico with Ed Harris and End of Watch scene stealer Michael Peña.

In the drama, due out later this year, an American sheriff attempts to track down an illegal alien involved with a robbery which left his wife dead.

She's going to have a ball! Beyonce is poised for kickoff in new snap released ahead of her Superbowl performance

It's the biggest honour an American artist can receive, well, after singing at a presidential inauguration that is, but as we all know... Beyonce already nailed that look.
So on Sunday, she gets to tick another box by performing the Super Bowl halftime show in New Orleans and possibly a chance to put the inauguration lip sync scandal behind her as she seemed to do at the press conference held on Thursday afternoon.
She explained herself there (it was all down to lack of rehearsals, the weather and technical faults) but for this most favourite of American daughters, it really never mattered.

After all, lip sync she might have but the gargantuanly successful beauty has got style, attitude and star quality in spades.
And she announced that she intends to sing live at Sunday's event after singing the Star Spangled Banner with no aid in front of the press conference on Thursday, telling them: 'It's what I was born to do.'
She showed this in shots from rehearsals for the event.

Beyonce even managed to make a long john-style onesie look sensational as she practiced and prepped.
In behind-the-scenes snaps for the dress rehearsal, the 31-year-old displayed her curves in the clingy attire.

And while Beyonce may have appeared as though she had just stepped out of bed, make-up free and her hair in tumbling curls, she looked cute and youthful.
Putting in her all for the practice run, Beyonce showed just what viewers of the famous half-time show are in for when they tune into the sporting event this Sunday. 
After her miming controversy at Obama's Inauguration last week, the Crazy In Love star appeared to be singing live as well as exerting her famous dance moves.
Pared back: In other raw snaps, make-up free Beyonce was certainly not afraid to reveal a pared down look as she was seen wearing a beanie covering her long tresses and a basic black T-shirt

As well as Beyonce's personal snaps, a new Super Bowl promo photograph of the singer was released on Tuesday.
Dressed as a football referee in a striped and black hot pants, she shows off her curvy figure in daring thigh high boots.
When she steps on the stage on Sunday at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Beyonce will be hoping to put the recent lip syncing controversy of her Inauguration performance behind her by putting on a dazzling show.
The diva was accused of miming the National Anthem at President Obama's inauguration ceremony, when a spokesman for the Marine Corps Band said she opted for a pre-recorded track of the song instead of singing live.
Ready to rumble: As well as Beyonce's personal snaps, a new Super Bowl promo photograph of the singer was released on Tuesday

But hours later, a Marine spokesman backed off the claim and insisted he didn't know one way or the other: 'No one in the Marine Band is in a position to assess whether it was live or pre-recorded'.
Meanwhile, Beyonce is already stirring up a frenzy of anticipation for Sunday's show.
But amid swirling rumours, her Destiny's Child band-mate Michelle Williams recently denied that Beyonce would be reuniting with with the band for the show.
Michelle, 32, told WRUG Media: 'I'm going to be in the musical Fela! I hate to disappoint the people and tell them that it's not true.'
The singer is headlining a world tour of the Tony Award-winning show, which kicks off Tuesday in Washington, D.C.
But according to the show's website, she will intriguingly not be appearing in the show that day.

'I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry,' Williams said of the reunion rumours. 'But we did record a song with each other before the holidays.'
Destiny's Child - Love Songs, a greatest hits compilation of the group's most romantic recordings will feature a new song, Nuclear - their first in eight years.
However, Michelle did hint that a reunion outside the recording studio may still happen, saying: 'We have talked about it. You know, one day soon.'


Rooney Mara shows her edgy side in black leather before playing it sweet and innocent in white on the red carpet

What a different a few hours makes.
Rooney Mara proved she was a style chameleon on Thursday, going from a biker babe to a feminine vision in white in New York.
The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo star showed why well picked basics and simple colours are the stylish way to dress for any occasion.

Earlier on Thursday, the 27-year-old showed off her street fashion credential in a look that appeared inspired by her motorcycle riding character on the famous crime franchise.
The star had cool down to a fashion science donning an almost completely black outfit of fisherman pants, black lace-up boots, a black leather jacket, white t-shirt and a grey oversized scarf.
But do not think just because her outfit consisted of simple pieces with clean lines it came at a bargain price tag, the star's bag alone cost more than $5000.
The Row Tall Day Luxe Bag is one of the high-priced creations by former child stars turned designers Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.

Despite having a bag which should have given her an instant confidence boost, the Academy Award nominated actress looked unsure as she walked the streets of New York.
Hiding behind a pair of dark glasses and with her brunette hair tucked behind her ears, the star held her hand to her head at one point as if lost or confused.
There was no such lack of confidence however, when she walked out on the red carpet a few hours later.
Rooney looked like a couture angel as she posed for the premiere of her film Side Effects at the AMC Lincoln Square in New York City.
Not so simple on the wallet: While her outfit featured basic pieces it was far from cheap with the actress' bag costing more than $5000 alone

Looking perfectly polished the 27-year-old wore a stunning white dress with floral detail and a ruffle edge.
The dress was made more edgy - but still feminine - by a second layer a cropped long-sleeve matching top with heavily embellished shoulders, which the actress wore over the top.
Rooney made sure to keep with her simple is more mantra wearing her hair parted in the middle and slicked back.
The actress also kept her accessories to a minimum wearing almost no jewelry and just unintrusive patent nude slingback heels.

The stunner also went for a minimalist look with her make-up wearing a nude but tanned face with her strong eyebrows being the focus.
In her latest movie, Rooney plays a wife of a hapless trader - played by Channing Tatum - who after he is released from prison, struggles to understand his wife as she slips into a deep depression. When she seeks out the help of a  psychiatrist - Jude Law - the thriller begins.
The film is directed by Steven Soderbergh who heaped praise on the actress in a recent Vogue interview.

The X Factor: The star says she is often hypercritical of herself
'(She has) the X factor that you can’t really teach, that watchability that an actor needs,' he told the magazine.
'My job was to make sure my camera was in the right place to capture it, to get what she was putting across.'
Despite being highly acclaimed, Rooney said she struggles to be happy with what she does.
'I’m hypercritical of myself. Anytime I see anything I’ve done, I wish that it had gone differently because you figure it out as you go along, and you’re always discovering new things. I’d probably feel that way about anything that I did.'
