She's got the man of her dreams, a figure to die for and is in the holiday location considered above all others by residents of her native Essex. But bikini-clad Lucy Mecklenburgh still couldn't raise a smile as she headed out shopping today with her boyfriend Mario Falcone in Marbella. Perhaps Lucy's unhappy demeanour has something to do with the fact that she was suffering with a slightly sore head after a heavy night out in the Spanish resort the evening before.           Read Here

Harrowing scenes of newly-born dairy calves being lined up and shot dead simply because they are male have left television viewers sickened. The images of three Jersey calves being killed were filmed to highlight the grim reality of the dairy industry. The Channel 4 programme, featuring farmer Jimmy Doherty, was explaining how more than 90,000 male dairy calves are shot at birth every year because there is no market for them. But graphic scenes of a ‘knacker man’ pointing his gun to the head of the calves and shooting them in their brains was too gruesome for many.             More Read

O2 and Talktalk said they were still working to implement the ban. A sixth operator, BT, has been given extra time to make the necessary arrangements. It is expected to act within the next fortnight.      Full Read

Former NFL star Terrell Owens is now also a former IFL player.   In a development that may not surprise football fans in Philadelphia, San Francisco, Dallas and perhaps an NFL city near you, the Indoor Football League team that signed Owens in January has soured on the six-time Pro Bowler.

The most infamous scene to come out of this year's Cannes Film Festival undoubtedly occurred in "The Paperboy," when Nicole Kidman's character urinates on Zac Efron. Hollywood was set afire by the moment, with even stars weighing in on the effect it could have on Kidman's career. (Michelle Rodriguez thought it was great , but won't earn Kidman an Oscar nomination, because she isn't black?) "Paperboy" director Lee Daniels has also given his take on the scene, explaining just why Kidman's character had to relieve herself at Efron's expense. As it out, that's not exactly the story. In Daniels' interview with GQ , the director explains that Efron was attacked by a jellyfish and needed the urine to abate his pain. Though other women offer to provide the ointment (the character is played by Zac Efron, after all), Kidman's character comes through with the clutch line: "If anyone's gonna pee on you, it...

PATIENTS who want cosmetic surgery would have to undergo rigorous mental health checks under shock new recommendations. An official report warns that Britain faces a body image and eating disorder crisis. Brits now put looks before their health, fuelling a rise in mental illness and anorexia, says the report. Both men and women can suffer from Body Dysmorphic Disorder. They may think their busts, bottoms or thighs are too big or too small. Sufferers often think surgery will cure the problem, but it is a psychological illness and many leave the clinic wanting more unnecessary ops. The report, by MPs and charity Central YMCA, urges psychological checks for cosmetic surgery patients.                    Read Here

A number of the show’s stars have been in trouble recently, most notably Lauren Goodger, who had some of her scenes axed after a screaming row with producers.                  More Read

Peak time on the world’s  highest peak, and the queue  of climbers snakes back  down Mount Everest’s  snowy wilderness. The crowds are a far cry from the splendid isolation Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Norgay Tenzing experienced as they pitted themselves against one of nature’s fiercest challenges to become the first to reach the 29,029ft summit. Their incredible achievement as part of the ninth British expedition to Everest came on May 29, 1953 — 59 years ago yesterday, and in time to be announced on the day of the Queen’s coronation on June 2.              Read Here

HOOKERS are selling sex for £60 at the top floor of a Travelodge — as innocent guests sleep unaware beneath them. The European vice girls advertise their services on an adult website. Punters are told to phone from an Asda car park outside the eight-storey budget hotel. They are then directed to a lift away from the busy reception area and bar. The women have rooms close to each other but have trouble communicating with clients because their English is so poor. We sent an undercover Sun team to the hotel in Feltham, West London. A Hungarian girl calling herself Mia took a reporter to a room two floors down and asked for £60 for half an hour.                 More Read

Craig, 31, looked like he’d doused himself in baby oil as he did stomach crunches and weights in the park with his personal trainer.

When you're trying to connect with your god, it helps to find some peace and quiet, if you can. But that was, indeed, no such problem for the architects of these impossibly built monasteries. Constructed at dizzying heights on the sides of mountains, they ensured only the most devoted - and vertigo-free - followers would join them for prayer.   Many were only accessible by steep and secret paths in order to provide the most seclusion as they sought uninterrupted spiritual awakening. By far the most precarious is a monastery that dangles seemingly in defiance of the laws of physics on the side of Mt Huashan in China. Located around 75 miles east from Xi'an City of Shaanxi Province, Mt Huashan is known as 'The number one precipitous mountain under Heaven'. It is one of the five sacred mountains in China.                   More

Tony Blair's evidence to the Leveson Inquiry was sensationally interrupted today when a protester burst in from behind the judge and branded the former Prime Minister a 'war criminal'.

Five years ago she was a seemingly ordinary housewife, living in a modest house on a suburban street. Tonight, British mother-of-two Lindsay Sandiford was languishing in a Bali jail cell after being arrested for allegedly smuggling £1.6million of cocaine.  She has already faced the shame of being paraded before the media, bowing her head and hiding her tears with her hands.  But the 56-year-old single mother's eventual fate could be far worse. Cocaine smuggling on such a scale - police claim they caught her with 4.7kg of the Class A drug - is punishable by death by firing squad. Back on the street that she once called home in the genteel town of Cheltenham, her former neighbours did not seem entirely surprised.                   Read Here

Protesters gathered in front of the Justice Center in Newton waving signs with messages such as "Will God judge me for loving or hating?" and "Don't Fence Me In." Some people dressed in rainbow colors, and entire families chanted "Preach Love Not Hate," angered by comments from Pastor Charles Worley of Providence Road Baptist Church in nearby Maiden during a sermon on May 13. Worley told his congregation the Bible and God opposed homosexuality and that gay and lesbian people should be fenced in.                        Full Read

From the epic wedding objection scene in "The Graduate" to the drunken guest in the classic "Kids in the Hall" sketch, we've seen some pretty memorable on-screen wedding objections over the years.        Read here

Meghan McCain spoke out about some of the hateful backlash she received after criticizing the Republican party in a new column published on Sunday. McCain caused a small uproar on Thursday when she lamented the "the popularity of Michelle Malkin and Andrew Breitbart," and said that many Republicans treat her like "a freak" for her moderate views. Since then, she has received vicious insults about her weight, looks and family on Twitter . She reacted to the attacks in a piece for the Daily Beast . "You would think that by now, having gone through a presidential election with my father in 2008, I would be numb to this kind of name-calling," McCain wrote. "But I’m not. It hurts, it rattles me, it (understandably) concerns my mother...
