Fashion low note: Mariah Carey takes to the stage in unforgiving skin-tight trousers

She's eager to show off her figure after recently losing 70 pounds of baby weight. 
But Mariah Carey, 42, really should have considered going up a size when picking out her outfit for a performance in Austria over the weekend.
The singer's black and red spandex trousers looked eye-wateringly tight as she took to the stage at the Top of the Mountain Concert in Ischgl.

The mother of two topped off the look with a cropped fur-trimmed jacket, black boots and fingerless gloves.
It's not the first time she's worn the two-tone ski pants - she was spotted in the same pair while in Aspen over Christmas.
Mariah jetted to the city over the weekend after renewing her wedding vows to Nick Cannon on the top of the Eiffel Tower on Thursday.
The hitmaker – who married the TV presenter in a surprise ceremony in the Bahamas four years ago – took to twitter to celebrate the 'incredible night' in the French capital of Paris.

She wrote: 'Tonight was an incredible night. I can’t express how amazing it was to renew our vows in Paris at the top of the Eiffel tower.
'Thank you so much to all the fans who came out as always and showed their love and support. I love you!'
Nick – who has recently battled ill health – recently admitted he continued to be amazed by his marriage to Mariah, with who he now has nearly one-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe.

He said: 'We get married every year; it's our thing. I just have to keep doing it to make sure it's real!'
Nick recently revealed the couple planned to celebrate their children turning one with a special celebration outside of the US.
He said: 'It's up in the air right now but it's probably not going to be in the States. We are going to take it overseas.'
When a party at the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France was suggested, Nick appeared to hint the speculation was right, smiling as he said:
'You're good. You're good.'

Can't go a day without you! Kim Kardashian jets to New York and straight back into Kanye West's arms just hours after dining with the President

She had the pleasure of dining with the President at one of the most prestigious events of the year last night, but Kim Kardashian may have had other things on her mind at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.
It seemed the reality television star could hardly wait to get back to her beau after making an appearance at the event with her mother and manager Kris Jenner.
Following a dramatic arrival in an emerald old-Hollywood style dress, the 31-year-old couldn’t wait to leave Washington D.C this morning to spend more time with her latest boyfriend Kanye West.
Together again: Kim Kardashian was back with Kanye West today as they held hands on a lunch date to Serafina in NYC

Kardashian was back to her old ways as far as her dress sense is concerned, today she was seen going for a lunch date with the rapper at pizza restaurant Serafina in New York City.
The star looked more dressed for night out than a lazy Sunday afternoon as she donned a one-shouldered black mini dress as she walked through the Big Apple holding hands with her man.
Kim teamed her frock – which revealed plenty of flesh in the back as the material rose up towards her derriere – with chunky gold bangles and thinly heeled shoes.

Different fashion memos: The couple held hands as they traipsed the street boasting completely different styles

She was preened to perfection as she let her poker straight locks hang loose, meanwhile her date went for a more casual style.
West, 34, threw on a burnt orange jacket over a crisp white T-shirt, teaming the item with large boots and of course baggy jeans.
Once again the trousers were almost falling down past his behind, an impractical style the musician has been frequently flaunting lately.
Theatre fans: They later went to watch a showing of the musical Wicked
While keeping a firm grip on his lady with one hand he was forced to hold on to his clothing with the other in an effort to avoid any embarrassing slips.

The night before Kardashian flew out to the US capital city for yesterday’s celebrity-studded event, he was seen hitching up his denims as he followed his new flame into his apartment.
They obviously can’t go a day without seeing each other as Kim headed to the annual bash which honours the best of political journalism, directly from her romantic night with the star.
On her way back to see him this morning the church-goer squeezed in a little worship time before  boarding her flight.
She wrote on her Twitter page: ‘Who knew they had a chapel in the airport! Church service before the flight!’
Once she had taken to her seat she shared with her followers that she had bumped into media Jason Binn, a leading publisher of luxury magazines.
She tweeted: ‘Look who's on my flight @jasonbinn ... I feel safe now!’
Can't get enough of each other: Kim enjoyed dinner with West on Friday before her big appearance in front of the President

The blonde Balotelli fratelli! Manchester City star Mario steps out with brother Enoch sporting matching peroxide mohican styles

As a footballer for a top flight Premiership club, there can be little doubt that Mario Balotelli has been an inspiration to his younger brother.
And not just when it comes to playing the beautiful game but also, it would seem, as a style mentor too.
The Manchester City striker was snapped out for dinner with his sibling Enoch in Manchester last night as they treated their parents to dinner.

And observers had trouble telling the brothers apart as they both sported the same blonde mohican cut on their heads.
Mario, 21, and 19-year-old Enoch, who had a trial with Premiership club Stoke in December, were snapped leaving the popular San Carlo restaurant with Mario's adopted parents Francesco and Silvia Balotelli, who were visiting from their native Italy.
And they looked in good spirits as they left the eatery and headed back to Mario's home.

It's a family affair: Mario and Enoch were joined by the footballer's foster parents Francesco and Silvia Balotelli
Mario was fostered by the Italian couple when he was three years old after his biological parents Thomas and Rose Barwuah asked social services for help raising their children.
Mario was enjoying being in the company of his family, which no doubt took his mind off recent allegations that he cheated on his model girlfriend Rafaella Fico, 23, with personal assistant Chloe Evans, 21.
Balotelli has previously admitted to a fling with Wayne Rooney escort Jennifer Thompson during his relationship with Rafaella, who has been quoted as saying she would marry him.

According to The Sun, Chloe spent a full week at his mansion this month, where the pair discovered his love of lipstick.
'We were both a bit bored and messing about. so I turned him into a WAG for a laugh!,' 21-year-old Chloe told The Sun.
'We used my make-up, and before you knew it he was Marilyn Balotelli!'
According to Chloe, she and Mario had sex in October 2011, by which point he and Rafaella had been dating for four months.

Michael Jackson's former bodyguard shockingly claims the singer had an affair with Whitney Houston


Two shocking claims: Former bodyguard Matt Fiddes has alleged that he is Blanket's biological father, and that the famous pop star once had a secret affair with the late, great Whitney Houston in 1991Before his tragic death in 2009, Michael Jackson trusted Matt Fiddes to be his bodyguard and confidant.
But now the millionaire martial arts master has made some shocking claims that he is Blanket's biological father, and that the famous pop star once had a secret affair with the late, great Whitney Houston in 1991.
According to Fiddes, who spoke to Jackson three days before his death, Michael even wanted to marry Whitney after their alleged two-week tryst.
'Whitney practically moved in to Michael’s ranch and they had a fling like any other young couple,' Fiddes told London's Sun newspaper.
'But Michael said later he had always hoped the relationship had gone further, and I know he dreamed of marrying her.'


The bodyguard: Former Michael Jackson bodyguard Matt Fiddes is now a millionaire martial arts master who runs a worldwide chain of martial arts schoolsWhile at a 2001 concert celebrating Michael's career in New York, Fiddes said the pair shared a tearful reunion.
'They were both a mess, to be honest. They shared what would be their final hugs and Michael begged Whitney to get off the drugs that were destroying her life,' recalled Fiddes, who runs a worldwide chain of martial arts schools.
'The two of them whispered that they loved each other as they hugged. The emotion was written all over their faces.'
Since her death last February, Whitney's love life has been under the microscope. Earlier this year, the Sun Sunday claimed that Michael's older brother Jermaine had a year-long affair with Whitney.
Jermaine, who was married to Hazel Gordy in 1984, is said to have inspired the video for Whitney's 1985 single Saving All My Love For You.
The hit song's video tells the story of a woman's romance with a married man, with the singer even hiring a Jermaine lookalike for the footage. Whitney even comforted Jermaine following Michael's death.
Another Jackson affair? Earlier this year, the Sun Sunday claimed that Michael's older brother Jermaine had a year-long affair with WhitneyAnd while Jermaine wrote about struggling with his growing affection for Whitney in the HarperCollins book he released last year, You are Not Alone: Michael, Through A Brother's Eyes.


He writes: 'As much as I wanted to lose myself in all these feelings, I told her to wait. Ultimately, we had to go our separate ways and it killed us both.'
In his book, Jermaine also revealed that Michael had warned him of pursuing an intimate relationship with Whitney.
He wrote: '[Michael] didn't fuel the temptation as some guys would. He reminded me about Hazel, about family.'
Jermaine and Hazel split three years after his reported affair with Whitney, following a 14-year marriage. The 57-year-old singer has since had three long-term relationships, and is now married to Halima Rashid - his third wife.
And gay activist Peter Tatchell was the first to allege that Whitney had a long-term lesbian relationship with her best friend and former assistant Robyn Crawford.
Who's your daddy? Fiddes is so confident he's the biological father of 'Blanket' Jackson he plans to go to a Los Angeles court to ask for a DNA test to make it officialWhitney the lesbian? Since her death last February, friends have also claimed that Whitney, seen left in 1994, was once in a lesbian relationship with ex-assistant Robyn Crawford (right)Thatchell speculated that Houston's descent into addiction stemmed from giving up her 'one true love' in order to marry Bobby Brown and kill the lesbian rumors.
He said Whitney and Robyn became inseparable after working a summer job as teenagers in New Jersey. Just hours after her death, she wrote a Valentine’s Day-themed tribute to Whitney hours after she died, which was published in a U.S. magazine.
It said: 'I first met Whitney when I was 16 and knew right away she was special. Whitney was modelling and had peachy-coloured skin and didn’t look like anyone I’d ever met in New Jersey. I can’t believe that I’m never going to hug her or hear her laughter again.'
Media storm: Jackson dangled baby Blanket over a balcony of the Adlon Hotel in Berlin in 2002The lesbian claims have also been backed up by Whitney's sister-in-law and her ex-bodyguard Kevin Ammons. Whitney spoke out about the rumours in 2000, saying: 'I am a mother, not a lesbian. I am not gay.'
The British bodyguard alleged that the pop legend was bald, impotent, anorexic, drug addicted, covered with needle marks, bald, and impotent.
As for Prince Michael Jackson II (nicknamed Blanket), who made his media debut in 2002 when the pop star bizarrely dangled the infant out of a six-story Berlin hotel, Fiddes claims that he was the sperm donor--not Jackson.
Fiddes is so confident he's the father of the 10-year-old boy he plans to go to a Los Angeles court to ask for a DNA test to make it official.
Jackson evidently told Fiddes in 2001 that he wanted Blanket, who was conceived through IVF, to be an athletic child.
Said Fiddes, 'I only want to see Blanket a couple of times a year. It’s not a custody battle.'
Along with his 15-year-old brother Prince and 14-year-old sister Paris, Blanket is currently in the custody of Jackson’s mother Katherine, just as Michael intended.
But even more disturbing was his claim that Jackson entertained Nazism in his final years, thanks to a racist friend in his inner-circle.
'[They] filled his head with anti-Jewish propaganda....We got rid of [the person] filling Michael’s head with rubbish, and we were able to "re-programme" his mind so he didn’t think anti-Semitic thoughts,' said Fiddes.

'In Warsaw, Poland. Just wrapping commercial for Black Power Energy Drink. They put me on the can,' the former heavyweight champion posted on his Twitter feed.

The shamed boxer has been a constant presence in the headlines recently.
In a shocking interview with ESPN's Rick Reilly last week, Tyson claimed he got a prison worker pregnant while serving a jail sentence.
The revelation came after Reilly asked him what stories he had left out of his one man show Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth.
He said: 'Oh yeah. In prison, stuff happens. But she had no baby.'
While he did not discuss when exactly the incident occurred, his longest stint behind bars was when he was convicted of raping 18-year-old beauty queen Desiree Washington in 1992.
Tyson had told the audience at his six-run Vegas show: ‘I went to jail for something I didn’t do’.
Tyson wed Spicer in 2009 in Las Vegas, she is also the mother of Tyson's daughter, Milan.
Tyson has also fathered eight other children.

'I am a woman and I like sex': Single Cheryl Cole talks about missing intimacy, being broody and fancying Prince Harry

She is considered one of pop music's most attractive women - but Cheryl Cole has bemoaned her lack of action between the sheets of late.
The Girls Aloud star says she misses being intimate with someone and admitted: 'I am a woman and I like sex.'
She also said she is feeling very broody and longs to find the right man to settle down and raise a family with.
Soft spot: Cheryl revealed that she thinks Prince harry is 'amazing' but would be worried about being dubbed a 'cougar' if she was to date him
Waiting for her prince: Cheryl Cole, seen here at Radio 1 last week, said she misses being intimate, likes sex and has a crush on young royal HarrySpeaking to GQ magazine, she said: 'I’d love kids. I’m obsessed with babies. I know that is what I was put on Earth to do – to be a mother.'
And she said she has a soft spot for Prince Harry who she thinks is amazing, and added: Me and his dad are as thick as thieves and I knew Harry before I knew his dad so we’ve met a few times.
'I think he’s amazing and I think you can relate to him because he’s made mistakes.'
But she said she would be worried about being dubbed a 'cougar' if she dated him - even though at 28, she is only a year older than the young Royal.
She said: 'He’s cool. Although, I think I would be Cougarville in that relationship. I would be in Cougarville.'
Cheryl is set to release her new single Screw You next month, and, contrary to reports, has insisted it's not about her ex-husband, Chelsea footballer Ashley Cole.
She also said it is not about her former X Factor boss Simon Cowell, who unceremoniously dumped her from the US version of the show last spring.
She said the song is not 'autobiographical' and added: 'It could be directed at whoever you want it to be directed at.'
Cheryl also always has a friend on musician and The Voice coach Will.i.am, who today came out in support of her and said he was glad that she had turned her back on the X Factor.
Speaking to the Sunday Mirror, Will, who collaborated with Cheryl on her hits Heartbreaker and 3 Words, said being a judge was a 'waste of talent'.
He added: 'Cheryl is a great artist and a great performer and I think the world needs that. Music is what got us here.
'If you’re not singing any more or writing songs then you’ve abandoned your base. Cheryl Cole to me is not Kim Kardashian or Paris Hilton.'
