By SARAH FITZMAURICE



Stunning shots: Kate Moss and Jamie Hince pose up together in intimate picture taken by their official wedding photographer Mario Testino, which appear in American Vogue's September issue



It really was a moment the fashion world had been waiting for.



And as Kate Moss sashayed down the aisle to marry Jamie Hince she certainly didn’t disappoint and in a vintage-inspired gown made by her close friend John Galliano.



Now, the official pictures shot by celebrated photographer Mario Testino have been released and the snaps are simply remarkable.





The look of love: The celebrated photographer captured Kate gazing at her new husband in an intimate moment on their July 1 wedding





The shots, seen in American Vogue magazine's September issue, provide an intimate insight into the July 1 nuptials and Mario, a close friend of Kate’s, has created some of the most beautiful pictures ever seen of the supermodel on her very special day.



Given her 20-years experience in front of the camera Kate, 37, appears happier than ever as she poses in the stunning prints.



In one shot the happy couple are seen kissing behind a leafy tree in a stolen moment away from their guests.



In another Kate is seen gazing at her new husband while he looks out of the back of their car just moments after the couple became husband and wife.





Mother and daughter bond: Kate and Lila Grace pose together in an intimate shot in a warm embrace





One snap from the shoot shows the close bond Kate shares with her daughter Lila Grace as mother and daughter pose together their bed skin touching.



Lila Grace was one of Kate's 16 bridesmaids and the model is pictured smiling with them and pageboy Alfie in a picture that captures a sense of the magical, with soft lighting and leafy backdrop.



Each shot captures the emotion, passion and style of the day in a way that Testino, with his intimate knowledge of Kate, can and the results are spectacular.

Hardman Ryan Gosling gets his baby co-star guzzling on set of new movie

By CHRIS JOHNSON



Caring side: Ryan Gosling is seen feeding a baby a bottle of milk while shooting his new movie, The Place Beyond The Pines today in New York



Here is Ryan Gosling in character as a hardman motorcyclist - who won't stop at anything to support his family.



In a rather incongruous scene, the bulked-up actor, complete with his bleach blond hair and scary fake tattoos, cradles and feeds a baby a bottle of milk on the doorstep of a house.





Biker style: Gosling plays the character of Luke, a motorcyclist stuntman who considers turning to crime to provide for his family





Filming continued on location in Schenectady, New York, today on The Place Beyond The Pines, where Gosling was also joined by co-star Eva Mendes.



The movie, which is not due out until 2013, follows the story of motorcyclist stuntman Luke (Gosling) who considers turning to crime to provide for his wife and child.



But his actions put him on a collision course with policeman-turned-politician Avery Cross, who will be played by Bradley Cooper.



X-Men: First Class actress Rose Byrne will portray Cooper's on-screen wife, replacing Greta Gerwig who was initially slated for the part.





Doting daddy: Ryan cradles the baby in a rather incongruous scenes, wearing his biker boots, leathers with painted-on tattoos sprawling up his arm





Ryan has transformed for his role, dying his hair and beefing up too.



He was trussed up in leather trousers with paint splatters and a sleeveless black T-shirt, revealing the sprawling tattoos which have been painted on to his arms.



Ryan recently talked about what it was like working with George Clooney and how he ended up at the receiving end of one of George's famous on-set pranks.





Ready to roll: Gosling was later joined by one of his co-stars, Eva Mendes, on location who arrived looking casual and make-up free





Up In The Air star George has also had a long-running prank war with his Ocean's co-star Brad Pitt, with one stunt involving some rather rude bumper stickers.



Ryan and George's political drama The Ides Of March meanwhile is out on 28 October.



It also stars Philip Seymour Hoffman, Marisa Tomei, Evan Rachel Wood and Paul Giamatti.

No auto-tune! Rebecca Black tries to prove her critics wrong by performing LIVE on America's Got Talent

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER



Live performance: Teenage YouTube sensation Rebecca Black performed her song Friday live on America's Got Talent tonight



As far as Internet sensations go, she has been one of the most successful after her song Friday attracted more than 100 million views.



So it was fitting that Rebecca Black was invited to perform on tonight's results show for the YouTube week of America's Got Talent.



And the 14-year-old star, who was widely derided for her heavy use of auto-tune on the much-maligned song, seemed determined to prove her critics wrong by singing it live.





Impact: The young internet sensation looked self assured and confident as she added a section of new song My Moment into the mix





Wearing a glittery tunic style dress and black tights, the singer looked confident and self assured as she sang and performed alongside a group of dancers.



She also added some sections of her latest single 'My Moment' into the number.



Her performance tonight came after it emerged that she has left school and is now home schooled after being bullied.



'When I walk by they'll start singing Friday in a really nasally voice,' she told ABC news. 'Or, they'll be like, "Oh hey, Rebecca, guess what day it is?"'





Black tie: Rebecca wore a glittery black tunic style dress and black tights for the energetic performance





Meanwhile, other YouTube sensations hoping to become as famous as Rebecca, competed for the audience vote in the results show.



Glow in the dark trick cyclist Matt Wilhelm made it to the semi finals of the show, with judge Howie Mandel calling him 'original and different.'



Judge Piers Morgan added that he thought the Chicago BMX biker could go 'all the way,' and win the big prize - a cool $1 million plus a headline show at Las Vegas's Caesar's Palace.





Triumphant: glow in the dark trick cyclist Matt Wilhelm made it through to the semi finals of the show





Success: Dance troupe Gymkana beat out Glee style choir Powerhouse on tonight's talent show







Delighted: Dancers Gymkana were overjoyed when the American public voted to put them through





Also triumphant were acrobatics group Gymkana, who beat the rather cringe-worthy Powerhouse choir who got their inspiration from TV show Glee.



'I just love the fact that you guys are still at college and do what you do,' judge Sharon Osbourne told the victorious troupe.



Singer Kevin Colis was also put through in a tough category after he impressed with his rendition of Bruno Mars's The Lazy Song.





Overwhelmed: Kevin Colis from Texas, made it through after impressing the judges with a Bruno Mars song





Tough decisions: Piers Morgan, Sharon Osbourne and Howie Mandel seemed pleased with the outcome of tonight's results show where more acts were decided for the semi finals





Delighted: Beth Ann Robinson impressed all three judges, with Sharon calling her a 'special young lady'





'You are a tough category but I think you can give them a run for their money,' judge Howie Mandel told the Texan singer.



'I'm overwhelmed from all the support,' the curly haired crooner told the audience.



Joining him was 14-year-old ballet dancer Beth Ann Robinson whose performance mixed traditional ballet with contemporary dance.



'You are a very special young lady,' Sharon told her. 'At 14, to be able to move like that - you make dance look effortless.'





Back next week: The gothic, zombie style West Springfield Dance Group were saved by judge Sharon Osbourne's wild card



All 12 acts had won a chance to get their big break by posting audition videos online for the YouTube round.



Crashing out of the show were acrobatics team Aeon, 'clogging' group TNC Elite, child contortionist Breena Bell, illusionist Brett Daniels, freestyle basketballer Kalani, and adorable, talented bulldog Gabe Rocks.



Judge Piers Morgan didn't look too disappointed to see Gabe Rocks go, as part of the dog's act yesterday was to pretend to urinate on his image.





Eliminated: Show dog act Gabe Rocks failed to get through to the next round, much to the delight of judge Piers

All geek and no chic: Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg tops GQ magazine's list of worst-dressed men

By Daisy Dumas





Ctrl, Alt, DELETE: Mark Zuckerberg tops GQ's list of worst-dressed men



Consummate nerd and Harvard drop-out he may be, Mark Zuckerberg also happens to be one of the most powerful men in the world.



But for all of his billions of dollars, technological genius and philanthropoligical leanings, the co-founder of Facebook remains a very, very bad dresser.



So bad, in fact, that GQ magazine has just voted 27-year-old Zuckerberg the 'worst dressed man in Silicon Valley.'



Califiornia's technological enclave is, of course, no Milan runway, but to top the list at so young an age and ahead of so many other fashion culprits, is impressive to say the least.



No stranger to lists, Zuckerberg was named Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2010, but this time, the onus is on the entrepreneur to sharpen up his sartorial acumen.



GQ says: 'Nerds run the world. But with their notoriously horrid fashion choices, some dotcom entrepreneurs could use a style IQ boost. While their tech innovations deserve kudos, their outfits are one giant leap back for mankind.'



But Zuckerberg takes the crown, his poorly-fitting jeans, penchant for flip-flops, old-fashioned ties and badly-cut blazers, as immortalised in the Oscar-winning movie, The Social Network, all contributing to the position.



GQ says of the young man's dubious style: 'Oblivious to the fact that jeans and ties come in skinny sizes — or that suits exist — the father of Facebook (and we do mean father) loves to recycle the fresh-from-Stats-class look.'



Flop flop: Multibillionaire and Harvard drop-out Zuckerberg loves a baggy jean, an Adidas flip flop and teenage fabourite, hoodies





Sean Fennessey, editor of GQ.com, told MailOnline: 'It's not necessarily the casual nature of his look - wealth doesn't insist on suits and opulence. Look where that got the Winklevoss twins. It's the fit and the form that put him at the top of our list.



His advice for the Zuck? 'Tailor. Tailor. Tailor. The man has an estimated worth close $18 billion. He could buy Savile Row if he wanted.'



Their '15 worst offenders' also include Howard Stringer, Chairman of Sony Corp - who is mocked for looking like he is a amateur angler - and Microsoft's Bill Gates, whom GQ believes resembles an aged Harry Potter, channelling 'lazy preppy.'



Steve Jobs also makes it onto the rollcall, his offence being the 'self-inflicted uniform' of 'black turtleneck, dad jeans and Seinfeld kicks.'



It is not just GQ who have judged Zuckerberg. So risible is his style that it has inspired the creation of a spoof fashion label, Mark by Mark Zuckerberg. The label's site, a tongue-in-cheek nod to Marc by Marc Jacobs' eponymous spin-off, is a treasure trove of all things geek.



Anything Mark can do: Zuckerberg's bad taste has inspired mock fashion label and style site, Mark by Mark Zuckerberg





The online shop features a range of Zuckerberg-esque garments, all of which are very much within the price range of the Palo Alto local, who is worth an estimated $13.5billion.



There is a $32 bathrobe, $6 Hanes socks - 'both Mark and his chosen socks are characteristically plain and lumpy,' - $46 elasticated jeans and his favourite Adidas flip-flops. There is even a motif-emblazoned tote bag, aka 'The Goldman Sack.'



Thankfully, says GQ, the mock site doesn't actually sell any clothing.



Now, there's nothing wrong with a dash of geek chic - just ask the drifts of celebrities who cannot stop themselves from buying into the heavy-rimmed specs look. David Beckham, Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears are all sudden converts to bespectacled cool, seemingly take a lead from the hipsters in London's East End and New York's Williamsburg areas.



Whether they pull it off or not is another question.



Celebri-geek: David Beckham, left, and Britney Spears are two of many celebs who have both bought into geek cool, though their true nerdiness is in doubt





Where edgy stylists, notably Grace Woodward, have years led the pack in geek chic, the hordes joining them have catapulted the erstwhile nerd's staples - heavy-rimmed black spectacles, shirts buttoned to the neck, high jeans, rolled-up trouser pegs - onto the high street.



Granted, Zuckerberg is a very busy man. But there is a distinct lack of chicness - not so much a hint of elevatory irony - about Zuckerberg's wardrobe choices that land him squarely in geekdom.



Only time will tell, but could grandpa-style flip-flops, dressing gowns and white socks become the new word in urban cool?



Mr Fennessey is hopeful we'll all be spared: 'Safe to say, the Zuck isn't birthing any style trends. We're thankful for that.'

TECH ENTREPRENEUR BECOMES A MALE MODEL



Elsewhere in the world of geek chic, Tumblr founder David Karp has just become a new model for Japanese fashion brand, Uniqlo.



The shaggy-haired, blue-eyed pin-up of fashionable nerdiness's new role as a male model is squarely at odds with the tech geek style we've seen in the GQ list.



Not just a prety face: David Karp is the founder of Tumblr and leads the way in making technology model-worthy





The 25-year-old New Yorker, reportedly worth an estimated $10million, is refreshingly white-sneakers and flip-flop free.



In a Uniqlo video, the blogging entrepreneur speaks about the success of Tumblr as a platform for creativity, while wearing a Uniqlo outfit. And pulls it off without pair of ubiquitous heavy-rimmed specs in sight.



Unique geek: Karp is one tech nerd who really can claim the title geek chic as he models for Uniqlo

Pregnant Jessica Alba raises belly laughs in birthing class sketch with Jimmy Kimmel - where HE has a child called Pippa Middleton

By Jody Thompson





Scroll down to watch the sketch...



Belly laughs: Pregnant Jessica Alba raises more than a few giggles in her birthing class sketch with comedian Jimmy Kimmel which aired in the U.S. last night





Heavily-pregnant Jessica Alba showed she was still game for a laugh literally days away from the birth of her second child by taking part in a hilarious comedy birthing class sketch on Jimmy Kimmel's U.S. chat show last night.



Jimmy stands in for Jessica's husband Cash Warren in the skit and joins sultry Jessica, 30, at her birthing class.



In the hilarious sketch on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Jimmy, 43, starts goofing around as soon as he gets there, asking the birthing educator taking the class: 'How are babies made?'



Gather round: Kimmel was pretending he was standing for Jessica's husband, Cash Warren



This is how it feels: The funnyman was asked to don an 'empathy belly'





He then is asked to wear an 'empathy belly' by the teacher and when she asks if any of the mothers-to-be wanted to volunteer to go through a mock birth, Jimmy puts his hand up.



As Jessica takes on the role of the father and helps him push, Jimmy moans: 'Why did you do this to me?'



To which she replies: 'You asked for it!'



After lots of pushing, Kimmel eventually gives birth to the fake baby, and says: 'I want to name it Pippa Middleton.'



Keep pushing: Jimmy then goes through with a mock birth while Jessica pretends to be the father



Fierce: The mother-of-one certainly put Jimmy though his pregnancy paces



And breathe: Jimmy put a lot of effort into the fake birth





In real life, Machete star Jessica is due within the next few weeks, but she's currently busy too promoting new movie Spy Kids: All The Time In The World 4D.



She's understood to be expecting another girl and is planning a 'hypnobirth', and explained to TV chat show host and comedian Ellen Degeneres what it entailed.



She said: 'Basically my husband takes me through sort of a meditation. So he's like saying, 'You're relaxed and you're floating on clouds', while you're going through labour and your contractions.'



Can I hold her? One of the birthday class students can't help corpsing



A father's love: Jimmy cradles the newly mock-born baby



What's in a name? Jimmy named his newborn plastic daughter after Pippa Middleton





She added: 'He just sort of does a guided meditation. I'm just concentrating on breathing and staying relaxed because it's when you get tense that makes the whole labor worse and more painful. That's all it is. It's not like a weird thing.



'I actually did this with Honor…it is kind of a way to relax and know that the contraction will only last for so long. You just need to concentrate on the breathing and just the sound of his voice.



'You know, normally I want to strangle him, but at that moment it's sort of calming and wonderful.'



Jessica's film Spy Kids: All The Time In the World 4D meanwhile opens in the UK in 19 August.



Plugging away: Jessica was also properly interviewed on Jimmy Kimmel Live! ahead of the release of her new movie Spy Kids: All The Time In The World 4D

This is a bit awkward! Joe Jonas and Shia LaBeouf blank each other on Hollywood street

By Daily Mail Reporter





Stars collide: Shia LeBeouf and Joe Jonas almost brush shoulders at Sunset Plaza in Hollywood today





If you once imagined that in Hollywood you bump into celebrities every day only to be disabused of this notion, this picture is for you.



Because today, in a fairly quiet area of Hollywood called Sunset Plaza, Joe Jonas and Shia LaBeouf nearly bumped into each other on the street.



Jonas, 21 , as you can see below, is pulling the same face we all do when we've a) seen someone we know but don't want to talk to, or b) seen someone we know but are unsure if they remember/know who we are.





Transformers star LeBeouf on the other hand, seems genuinely not to have noticed the singing Puritan.



The 25-year-old is, of course, regarded as one of the coolest men in the film industry today, so perhaps LaBeouf was simply rocking his poker face.



And he was heading determinedly to Cafe Med, which serves the most delicious pasta in Hollywood, so perhaps hunger was driving him on.



Those of you familiar with L.A and the love of automobiles which renders walking a less acceptable pursuit in the community than even smoking, or heaven forbid, ageing, will wonder what the two stars are doing on foot.



Ships that pass: Shia and Joe today, they never even spoke





In Los Angeles, skinny gym fanatics will scream in agony if they're forced to walk more than three metres to a restaurant, and that's the non-celebrities.



So we have to clear up the fact that the Shia was leaving the parking lot as Joe headed back to his car with his team.



Sunset Plaza is also Hollywood's high street, every town has one, only in this case KFC is replaced with Mirabelle.



Joe dined at the equally high-end Japanese restaurant, Katsuya, in Hollywood the night before after he attended the premiere of 30 Minutes or Less.



Shia will head to Vancouver, Canada, next month to begin production on his political thriller, The Company You Keep, and has grown his hair and beard for the role.



New role: Shia yesterday, showing off his beard as he grabbed a coffee in Hollywood

I ding dang do! Paddy McGuiness's dating show Take Me Out scores first engaged couple

By JODY THOMPSON



TV romance: Kayleigh Kane, flashing her ring, and Fabian De Fabiani have got engaged after meeting on dating show Take Me Out



Saturday night dating show Take Me Out is celebrating its first engagement - but the happy couple almost fell at the first hurdle when the prospective dater rejected his fiancée on the show.



Teacher Fabian De Fabiani, 24, chose another contestant instead of Kayleigh Kane, 22, on the episode of the Paddy McGuinness-hosted show, which was shown on New Year's Day this year.





Beside the seaside: Fabian proposed to Kayleigh here, on Eastbourne beach in East Sussex





But afterwards, Fabian realised that he'd picked the wrong girl and tracked nursing student Kaleigh down on Facebook.



He told today's Sun: 'I really kicked myself. She was so beautiful. You go on it, there are all these lights, the adrenalin is going, and I wasn't as observant as I should have been.'



Kaleigh said she had been crushed when he rejected her too, saying: 'I was disappointed. I thought he seemed amazing but he didn't look at me once. I think he was too busy showing off.'





At the helm: Take Me Out is hosted by Paddy McGuinness





However, she was thrilled when he got in touch after the show - then when they met up properly and went on a date, they realised there was a spark.



The fun show features 30 women from across the UK looking for a man.



One single guy then walks into the studio to give his name, age and where he is from.

Each of the girls have a light in front of them and if at any point they decide this guy is not for them, they switch him off.





Take them out: The show features 30 women all looking for Mr Right





Each week, the girls return to the show for another chance to find Mr. Right - and when and if they're chosen, they get sent on a date to mythical nightclub Fernando's, which is also filmed for the show.



The ITV1 show, with the catchphrase 'No likey, no lighty' is currently recruiting prospective contestants for the next series.



Single ladies and gentleman are asked to go to http://www.itv.com/takemeout for all details.
