OK! UK Gold Media Pack 2014

the world’s most powerful
celebrity magazine

OK! is in a different league from
every other celebrity magazine.
We are purely celebrity based
which means every single feature
– whether it’s an at-home, food
or fashion – is about celebrity.
Since we exclusively cover
weddings and at-home shoots
it means we get closer to the
celebrities than other titles,
and we also have a tongue
in cheek humour that means
while serious issues are dealt
with sensitively, our other shoots
have a unique sense of fun.
The Editor

“OK! Magazine leads the way
in bringing our loyal readers the
most fabulous exclusive stories
week after week, which is why
we are the world’s number one
celebrity magazine.”

Below: Jessica and Justin are the
talk of the town after they were
rumoured to have secretly got
married. The ceremony was said
to have taken place the day
after Jessica attended the
London premiere of her latest
film, Total Recall opposite Colin
Farrell (facing page inset)

W
ell that’s one way to get the
gossipers off your back! While it’s
not been confirmed, it is believed
that Jessica Biel got married to
Justin Timberlake in a secret ceremony away from
the prying eyes and ears of the world and just one
day after she jetted out of London on her press
tour for Total Recall. When asked, just days before
the reported nuptials if they’d set a date, the
actress was quick to dismiss the question:
‘Everyone’s been telling us to enjoy the
engagement because it goes away so quickly.’ She
added that she wanted ‘extend’ the romance of the
engagement period for long as possible.
The ravishing pair dated for four years but split
briefly in 2011 after Jessica gave an embarrassing
speech at Justin’s surprise birthday party. However,
they soon got their relationship back on track
and the LoveStoned singer popped the question
at Christmas with a square-cut custom-made
diamond ring. It’s thought they returned to the
proposal destination of Jackson Hole, Wyoming, for
the wedding on a private estate while guests stayed
at the Four Seasons. Celebrity cake designer Sylvia
Weinstock added fuel to the rumours by writing on
Twitter that she was in the area.
Here, the 30-year-old beauty talks about her
new kick-ass role, why she’s vain and staying away
from the ex-girlfriends…
Will we see you on screen with Justin?
If it was the right thing, we would consider
working together. He’s excellent in every genre!
You have to be delicate if you’re working with your
partner and sometimes it’s just too close. I think

brad pitt talks dedication
to his family, feeling like he’s
‘hit the lottery’ and learning
from John travolta…
H
e’s been twice named Sexiest Man Alive,
but there’s much more to Brad Pitt than
the chiselled jaw and piercing blue
peepers. These days, the 48-year-old
actor is spending time behind the camera, having
just produced and starred in his new flick, Killing
Them Softly. He’s also a dedicated family man,
saying he and fiancée Angelina Jolie ‘do everything
we can to carve out some semblance of normalcy
for the kids’, adding: ‘It’s not unusual for them to
be covered in paint. We have mud fights. It’s chaos
from morning until the lights go out, and
sometimes after that.’
Here, Brad talks the value of money, sharing
parenting duties and how he ticket-dodged to see
John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever…
despite your wealth, do you try and
teach your kids the value of money?
Of course – we try to prepare them for life on their
own and to have respect for the world at large.
have you ever worried about money?
No, I never did. I’m thinking about when I was
struggling and not sure if you’re going to pay the
rent, but you can’t give to every beggar on the street,
you end up with nothing in your pocket! [Laughs]
but you give a lot of money to charity…
I really feel like I’ve hit the lottery. The more
I travel, the more I understand what opportunity I
have, and most people don’t have that. It’s nothing
more than luck and you need to pass that on.
do you really think you’ve just
been lucky?
The fact is, wherever you’re born determines your
opportunity in life. It’s not equal.

Above: While Angelina has tried
directing, Brad insists it’s not his
thing: ‘I’d be too obsessive, too
much of a perfectionist.’ Below:
Brad will be taking time off as
Angelina goes back to work,
meaning he will ‘get to be Dad’
Angelina has made her debut as a director
– is that something you might do?
No, I wouldn’t. I’d be too obsessive, too much of a
perfectionist. It’s just not a good idea.
Weren’t you once going to become
a journalist?
I was in J school, but I really was a bit feckless!
[Laughs] It was more about getting out of class and, of
course now, I wish I had certainly studied more.
When did you start thinking about acting?
It wasn’t until two weeks before graduation, everyone
was taking jobs and I didn’t have one lined up,
I always lamented that it wasn’t an opportunity,
but then it just occurred to me, I could go to the
opportunity. So literally two weeks later, I had my car
loaded up and 300 dollars in my pocket.
We remember you in Thelma & Louise some
years ago. Did you think then that your
career was going to take you to this point?
You’re never really thinking that far in advance. I just
wanted to be a part of movies, there’s so much trying
to figure out who you are in the business and what you
want to do with the opportunity once you get there.
Would you say you’ve been saved at some
point in your life by films?
I think films showed me another culture and made
me want to get out and travel the world and meet
people who react to things differently than I do.
I have a distinct memory of seeing Saturday Night
Fever as a young kid. I had to sneak in while the
ticket guy had his back turned!
Did you want to be John Travolta?
No, it was just the idea of this boisterous New York
family hitting and yelling at each other, it seemed
ferocious but there’s a lot of love. I just remember
seeing this thing and being really affected by it.
What do you think about the message
the violent role in Killing Them Softly
gives? Does it glorify the drug dealers?
It’s a violent world we live in, and I don’t agree with
trying to hide that or cover it up. That being said,
it’s also a metaphor for business, and business can
be very cut-throat. It’s just an unfortunate part of
their business. And murder, or being murdered, is
a potential outcome in a life of crime, and that’s it.
Do you and Angelina approve of each
other’s work?
Yeah sure, I mean I want her approval. I want her to
like the movie, I want her to be proud of her man.
You two are known for changing shifts – so
you’ll be home for the next year?
Yeah, Mom is working. I worked a lot last year, this
year Mom is working a lot and I get to be Dad.
What sort of things do you get up to?
It’s great to be with the kids more. We do normal
stuff. I mean, lunch is an adventure for us!
‘killing them softly’ is out in cinemas on september 21.

celebrity
magazine
Gwyneth Paltrow, Jay Z and Beyoncé Knowles, Helen Mirren

Keira is already hard at
work on her next project,
which will keep her busy
until after Christmas
– then she’ll start
planning her wedding
W
hen it comes to acting, Keira
Knightley finds it easier to get
naked than fake love scenes. ‘I’m
not prudish when it comes to
nudity. I’m not afraid to expose myself that way,’
says the 27 year old. ‘I’m much more worried
about revealing personal sides to myself. The
hardest thing to capture about love is the actual
physical intimacy between two people. The way
two people behave when they are next to each
other and touching each other. That’s a difficult
thing to capture on film.’
The star, who got engaged to Klaxons
frontman James Righton earlier this year, has
also revealed that she hasn’t started making plans
for her big day: ‘I’m working on another film
which finishes after Christmas. Then maybe I’ll
start thinking about the dress and the guests and
the venue.’
Here Keira, who stars in a new adaptation
of Tolstoy’s novel Anna Karenina, chats about
marriage, jealousy and she clears up those Fifty
Shades Of Grey rumours…
Was it strange for you playing Anna
Karenina, a character moving away
from a marriage, as you move toward
a marriage?
No, because I didn’t realise at that point that I was.
You can be in a happy place and play an incredibly
miserable character, and vice versa.
The role is very dramatic – did it affect
you at some point during the filming?
I don’t think I was the easiest to live with! It was
quite a relief to finish – the level of emotion which
had to be kept up was quite exhausting, so she
[the character] did come home more than I would
have liked her to.
How did she come home?
I’d just be in a bad f**king mood! [Laughs]
KeirA KnigHTley opens up about coming home in a bad
mood, exposing herself and why she’ll never please everyone…

‘love is
romance,
jealousy,
pain and
great sex’
Asked about influences in
her formative years, Keira
reveals: ‘One of the big ones
would be Much Ado About
Nothing that Kenneth
Branagh directed, which
I used to know by heart.
I watched it so much’
interview by nena wearing/Celebritext
Is there any part of Anna Karenina
that you identify with?
i think every part, and that is what is so
terrifying about her. love is romance, and
love is companionship, love is great sex, and
love is all these wonderful things that we
are sold as, but quite often the other sides
of it – the negative sides of it – actually aren’t
looked at; love is jealousy, love is neurosis,
love is madness, love is
loneliness, love is pain, it
is all such a massive part
of what that emotion is.
When she is at her worst
and most manipulative,
because she so desperately
needs something that
she is not getting, you
watch and think she is
not very nice there. But
actually when you look at
yourselves, we all behaved in a needy way or
a jealous way, we have all felt loneliness, we
have all also had wonderful bits…
What inspires you nowadays
besides making movies?
lots of things – music, theatre, other films,
books, cooking, travel. i have been working
my way through the ottolenghi cookbook. i
did everything that i could from there.
There was a rumour you are going
to do Fifty Shades Of Grey?
F**k no! [laughs] absolutely ridiculous!
just from what i have heard – f**k no!
It doesn’t get that many plaudits…
i heard that as well.
After the intensity of this film,
would it be nice to move on to
something happier?
yes, i did get to the end of this one and it
was like a five-year period of dying in pretty
much everything that i did and thinking i
wanted to do something happy and positive
and just have a bit of a break from that,
so it was a bit of a palate cleanser. i went
off to new york, i did an incredibly happy
and positive film about friends who make
an album.
Tell us a little bit about working
with Karl Lagerfeld – what do you
think of him?
He is amazing. He speaks millions of
different languages, he tends to sit next to
you and hold your hand, and talk to you,
which is very nice. He talks very quickly;
i think he talks faster than i do actually!
[laughs] i go in, and they go: ‘you’re wearing
this,’ and i go: ‘Whoa,
that’s nice, thank you
very much and goodbye.’
i would love to say i go:
‘Karl, make me something
like this!’ But i don’t.
You have been
an actress for a
very long time
now – what do
you consider your
greatest achievements so far?
i don’t know if i can look at it like that
really. i think i have been incredibly lucky
with the people i have worked with and
the opportunities i have had, but there
isn’t one that i have gone, wow, i nailed it,
because it’s subjective. you are never going
to make anything that everybody loves, and
if you are someone like me who was always
looking for an a at school, it is like that
dangling carrot that’s always in front of you
that you are never going to get. so i think
i will be incredibly proud of myself when
i have given up trying to get the a, and
actually understand that it is unattainable.
in anything that i have done, i shoot for the
a, i think the problem is that in acting, it
is just not something that you are going to
get. Because even if you got an oscar, there
are always going to be people who f**king
hated that performance!
Is that a good thing?
absolutely, but unfortunately, if you are
looking for the a, you are always going to
hear the noises that go, i hate you, you’re
s**t. and there goes the a again!
‘anna karenina’ is in Cinemas now.

the mex factorOK! heads to the sun-kissed shores of theOK
Mayan riviera for soMe laid-back paradise…
Below: Hang out by the
pool at the Sensatori or
hit the day beds on the
beach (right)
J
utting out into the Gulf of mexico and the
caribbean Sea, mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula
is soft-edged with infinite powder beaches
and lapped by turquoise waters. the colours
are incredible, everything blazes – from the
electric blue sky and the fierce green jungle that
lays just inland, to the neon red, fuchsia and
orange flowers that dot the landscape.
Stretching southwards between the modern
tourist resort of cancun along highway 307 to
unspoiled tulum in the south, the mayan riviera
coastline caters for all tastes and wallet sizes.
cancun is all about foam parties, theme nights
and happy hours – it’s a throbbing party town
with shiny malls and high-rise hotels. In contrast,
tulum is a laid-back paradise, with stunning cliff-
side mayan ruins, surf shacks and a charmingly
ramshackle collection of cafés and bars. Between
the two is Playa del carmen, which fittingly lies in
the middle – both geographically and in terms of
character. a buzzing town with boutique hotels,
lounge bars and shops selling beautiful crafts,
beachwear, cigars and tequila.
It’s time to plan your winter break…
What stars might I see?
this summer, Peter and abbey crouch enjoyed
a sun-kissed break in cancun, while fellow
footballers Joe cole and Wayne rooney have also
holidayed here. Shakira has performed in cancun,
Jennifer Lopez shot a pop video on the beach,
Kim Kardashian, Leonardo Dicaprio and christina
aguilera have all partied here, while Brody Jenner
tweeted: ‘omG, cancun is out of control!’ the
boho vibe of tulum also attracts the stars – Drew
Barrymore, Natalie Imbruglia, Jaime Winstone,
True Blood star alexander Skarsgard and amanda
Seyfried have all been spotted here. meanwhile,
Julia roberts, cameron Diaz, Gwyneth Paltrow
and Uma thurman have been spotted staying near
Playa del carmen.
Where should I stay?
OK! checked into the Sensatori, a luxury ocean-front
resort just a 30-minute drive from both cancun and
Playa Del carmen. the bonus with staying at the
Sensatori is that it’s all-inclusive (including spirits,
Sol lager and house wine), so once you’ve paid up
front, all you’ll need is cash for souvenirs!
Despite its size, the 438-room resort has been
sympathetically designed so that some areas
are dedicated to families, in terms of pools and
activities, while more secluded areas are reserved
for couples. Several of the five pools snake around
the landscaped gardens – one is an adults-only
pool with Balinese day beds and a swim-up bar,
while another is kid-friendly with water features.
OK! stayed in a junior premium suite and,
while sipping our welcome drink, we were guided
through a choice of five different scents to be sprayed
daily in our room and offered a choice of five
different soaps for our in-room Jacuzzi bath.
every day the bath towels were twisted into
a different shape on the four-poster bed –
from kissing swans to a dinosaur! the room
is stocked with plenty of DVDs to choose
from, complete with a delivery of popcorn
straight to your room should you wish.
What can I do
at the hotel?
OK! loved hanging out on the canopied
day beds on the beach. Butlers circulated
all day taking drink orders and bringing
around snacks. our favourite was the electric
Lemonade (vodka, lemonade and melon)
and the delicious bite-sized chimichangas
(burritos). there’s plenty on offer for little
people, with action centring on the azulitos
Play house, stuffed with the latest toys.

If you fancy the sounds of the sea, have a massage
in one of the Sensatori’s beach-side wooden thatched
pavilions or, for total tranquillity, enjoy a treatment
in the cool sanctuary of the indoor spa. here OK!
chose the hot stone massage that began with a warm
chamomile neck pillow placed around our shoulders,
before giving our body over for an hour of pure bliss.
or, get married! We saw two weddings a day, so
the hotel is hugely popular venue for tying the knot.
OK! loved to guess the couple’s nationality from the
music at the reception – coldplay and Westlife for the
Brits and soft rock and country for the americans!
Where can I eat?
many guests never leave the Sensatori, with its six
on-site restaurants, including a mexican, Italian
and caribbean. for those who want a blow-out
eight-course gourmet extravaganza, dine at the
adults-only Le chique, or if you’re not sure want
you fancy, Spoon is perfect as you can graze from
the groaning buffet or order from the live cooking
stations. afterwards kick back at the mojito Lounge
bar, which boasts 31 different mojitos, or take in the
live band at the roof Garden Lounge.
for reasonably priced traditional dishes
and fresh seafood outside the hotel, OK!
recommends La Parrilla in Playa del carmen.
We loved the chicken fajitas and beef tacos
with fresh guacamole, refried beans and huge
margaritas. afterwards stroll around the shops
along the car-free fifth avenue and have a cocktail
on the rooftop of Deseo hotel. While in Puerto
morelos, we loved Dorla triny’s for a simple feast
of chicken chimichangas and beef fajitas with
tortilla chips, salsa and lime.
What else can I do?
You can’t go to this corner of mexico and not visit
one of the spectacular ancient mayan ruins, with
chichen Itza, one of the new seven wonders of
the world, a key tourist attraction. OK!, however,
travelled to the smaller coba, where the main
temple ruins are 42m high and hidden amid
dense jungle. We visited temples dedicated to
honey and rain and spotted darting lizards and
curious stingless bees. We then went swimming
in a beautiful sink-hole – a natural phenomenon
when the ground gives way and the hole has
subsequently filled with water. the perfect end to
an incredible day was swimming in the cool green
water deep inside the jungle.
We also loved Puerto morelos – a tiny fishing
town which we stumbled upon by accident when
we ended up walking an hour and a half up the
beach from our hotel, passing wooden jetties,
pelicans and frigate birds. the town, with its
iconic leaning lighthouse as a result of the 1967
hurricane, has some great souvenir shops where
you can haggle over the price of handmade
jewellery, beachwear, wooden toys and cigars.
after all the exertion, we took a pew at the beach-
side Los Pelicanos bar to sip ice-cool corona and
listen to the musicians playing the harp and guitar.
elsewhere, divers will love the cancun
Underwater museum, a collection of 400 undersea
stone sculptures, including a life size VW Beetle,
located in the waters of the manchones Natural
Park (between cancun and Isla mujeres). animal
lovers, meanwhile, should head to the 1.3 million
acre Sian Ka’an Biosphere reserve to spot
crocodiles, monkeys and turtles.

santa phwoars!OK! chills out california-style
in laid-back santa Monica…
S
anta Monica is nicknamed hollywood-on-
sea and it’s easy to see why. this tiny eight
sqm beach-side resort, wedged between
Malibu and Venice Beach, is crawling with
celebs! Expect to see Jennifer aniston and Justin
theroux enjoying a romantic dinner, David
Beckham and his boys surfing in the sea,
Courteney Cox walking her dogs along the beach
and Kate hudson shopping in american apparel.
so if you want to combine the sights of Los
angeles (the centre of Beverly hills is a 20-minute
drive away) with some surf and beach action
on the sun-kissed Californian coast, then santa
Monica – where temperatures often reach 20˚C in

rent your own place by the beach. a house can
work better if you’re travelling as a family, it’s
more budget-friendly than staying in a hotel
and you also get to live like a local. OK! stayed
in the super-cool Canyon Beach house, just a
few yards from the sandy beach. the all-white
wooden cottage has plenty of charm and lots of
mid-century period features such as funky light
fittings, a vintage cooker, a claw-foot bathtub
and a huge fireplace. OK! loved the soothing all-
white décor, the funky faux zebra skin poufs and
its perfect location, just a 30-minute walk from
the promenade shops and the pier, and a quick
drive up to nearby Malibu. another nice touch?
the owners were on hand for advice and tips and
provided lovely eco bath potions as well.
If a five-star hotel is more your scene, choose

the Loews or the Viceroy.

Monica recently. Elsewhere, one of the best places
to spot a star is the saturday organic farmers’
market on arizona avenue, while the Ivy at the
shore restaurant on ocean avenue, where singer
Fergie and Josh Duhamel have dined recently, is
another a-list magnet.

where OK! sampled the fantastic sushi at sunset
menu. highlights include the eel roll topped with
avocado and toasted sesame and the santa Monica Fog
– tuna and shrimp with a ginger sauce. If you’re enjoying
the rides on santa Monica pier but need to refuel,
stop off for a burger at the new pier Burger Café or
indulge in Maine lobster and truffle fries at the
Lobster, a pier institution. For something hip and
healthy, the true Food Kitchen at santa Monica place
Mall is amazing. OK! loved the tasty bison burger
almost as much as the cool outdoor terrace with its
bright yellow parasols. Italian restaurant Giorgio
Baldi, across the road from the Canyon Beach
house, seems to be the celeb flavour of the month,
with Jennifer aniston and rihanna having eaten
there recently. another favourite for gourmet steaks
is the Boa steakhouse on santa Monica Boulevard.
What sights must I see?
a great way to get around santa Monica without a
car is by cycling. rent a bike at perry’s (there are
several outlets along the seafront) and check out
the celeb-owned houses. or, for the fitter, try the
neighbouring resorts of Venice Beach and Malibu.
head to santa Monica pier, the 100-year-old
iconic landmark, where you’ll find fairground
rides, a rollercoaster and a beach-level aquarium
at the UCLa ocean Discovery Center.
Don’t miss annenberg Community Beach
house, with its fantastic ’20s-style pool and some
great picnicking areas. Gwen stefani and her brood
have just been spotted there. Elsewhere, sporty
types can join the surfers catching the waves, try
their hand at volleyball, go rollerblading along the
ocean-front path or go hiking in the santa Monica
Mountains, where 580 miles of public trails await.

What is there to do?
I
t’s hip, it’s hot, it’s happening! Sizzling
temperatures, latin beats, non-stop beach
action and a hedonistic club scene, miami is
the place to party. For many first-time visitors,
miami is all about the beaches and the confetti-
hued art deco jewels that line ocean Drive. But
once you’ve crossed the causeway from the
atlantic ocean barrier island to downtown miami,
you’ll find overlapping neighbourhoods such as
stylish coral Gables, vibrant little Havana and
the arty Design District. So should you ever get
bored of watching the toned bodies playing beach
volleyball or scantily clad rollerbladers zooming
up and down the palm tree-lined South Beach
boardwalk, there’s plenty more to see and do!
there’s plenty to keep you occupied if you don’t
want to leave the w Hotel – chill by one of the
two pools (you may spy Paris Hilton on the next
sunlounger) or lay on the private stretch of beach,
with w staff on hand with eye masks, face mist and
even sunblock assistance if you wish!
it’s all about the body beautiful in miami, so if
you want to join the health pack, sign up with the
w’s own celebrity trainer, Simone cavalletti, who
can customise a fitness regime and organise boot
camp and beach yoga sessions for you. there’s
also a rooftop tennis court, basketball court and
the Sweat Fitness center if that’s your scene.
or, in OK!’s case, we took out one of the hotel’s
kayaks for a spin on the turquoise waters, as well
as a bike to explore the coastline.
if that’s all a bit strenuous, take refuge at Grove,
a lush poolside garden dotted with low-slung
chairs and shaded by trees hanging with lanterns,
bird cages and even sheets of poetry!
Bliss Spa is another place to pamper yourself.
OK! relaxed in our robes and nibbled on olives,
cheese, fruits and a chocolate brownie before our
treatment. we opted for a deep tissue extreme
sports massage – a pretty intense experience, but
one that ironed out any aches so we were ready to
party! Going for pure indulgence, we then had a
hot milk and almond pedicure. Heaven!
Situated in the epicentre of all the South Beach
action, OK! checked into the ultra-hip w South
Beach on collins avenue. and the moment we
entered the 20-storey hotel, our jaw was on the
ground in amazement. with its floor-to-ceiling
screens, zebra-print rugs, fur-covered chairs and
Damien Hirst and andy warhol artwork, it’s no
wonder the lobby is the place to see and be seen.
while w is a party palace – Jessica alba, Bruno
mars and cameron Diaz have hit the funky
lounge bar living Room, and wall nightclub – the
408 bedrooms offer a place to relax, with each
spacious room featuring sea-facing glass balconies,
plasma tVs and Bliss Spa potions.
OK! checked into one of the hotel’s new ViP
Suites, which allows you to live like a celeb, from
the moment you’re picked up from the airport in
a private limo. other perks? Free entry to wall,
your very own butler and a private pool cabana!

A stroll along Ocean Drive to check out its many
one-off boutiques is a good place to start. For arty
and lifestyle stores, make a beeline for the Design
District, while the downtown Village of Merrick

Aventura Mall, to the north of Miami, is where
you’ll find outposts of NYC stores Bloomingdale’s,
Macy’s, Abercrombie & Fitch and 270 other stores.

JLS boys for Marvin Humes’ stag
do earlier this year), lunching
at Monty’s (a favourite for the

at Privé (like Eva Longoria) you’re
bound to see a celeb or ten!
Khloé and Kourtney Kardashian
have their fashion boutique Dash
in town, while Kim (left) and
Kourtney are filming a new series
of Take Miami. Kim and her beau
Kanye West have also been seen
dining at upscale steakhouse
Prime One Twelve.
OK!
If you don’t want to venture from the W,
you’ll find an outpost of the legendary
Mr Chow, where classic dishes such as
peking duck, green prawns and crispy
beef have been given a modern twist.
Expect to see an A-lister dining beneath
the restaurant’s 125ft Swarovski-crystal
chandelier. For the freshest of seafood, OK!
dined at the hotel’s The Dutch restaurant
and oyster room. We loved our fresh clams
and scampi ravioli as well as skate wing
with a saffron cous cous. There were cocktails
to complement each dish, with OK! voting the
Perfect Storm, a tequila, ginger and lime creation,
as our favourite!
Bâoli restaurant/bar/club, with its enchanting
terrace and garden and lengthy cocktail list, has
a St Tropez party vibe. Under fairy light-adorned
trees, OK! dined on Chilean sea bass, served with
edamame purée and orange miso sauce. And
when the clock struck midnight, we were handed
a sparkler to dance with and the action hotted up!
A popular celeb spot is Michael’s Genuine, a
buzzy bistro in the Design District, where Jennifer
Aniston has been spotted. OK! enjoyed the balmy
ambiance on the outdoor patio, and feasting on
the slow-roasted pork shoulder with cheese grits.

T
he sound of Louboutins clicking and
champagne corks popping can only mean one
thing – it’s London Fashion Week! And there’s
only one place for any self-respecting model,
designer or fashionista to lay their perfectly coiffed
head – The May Fair Hotel, where OK! recently
headed for a taste of the highlife.
The hotel is such a celebrity hot-spot that paparazzi
are permanently camped outside. Flashbulbs were
popping when we arrived, but we were far too
‘fashion week cool’ to stare. We were welcomed to
the hotel’s dark and sparkling bar with the specially
created Pout cocktail made with rum, mint and just
an air-kiss of cranberry, followed by bento boxes
of crab tempura, unbelievably fresh sweet-chilli
prawns and mini spring rolls. Despite having to
face Fashion Week’s wafer-thin beauties in the very
near future, we also succumbed to a mini chocolate
and gold leaf cupcake, safe in the knowledge
that we had a secret weapon in our arsenal the next
day…
In the morning we headed straight to the spa –
a haven of black marble with zen sculptures and
water features built into the walls – for our Catwalk
Wrap. While it won’t turn hourglass beauties into
size zeroes, our therapist tells us it helps with water
retention and skin tone, and ‘just means you can get
into that pair of jeans you’ve been having trouble
with’. Sounds good to us!
To start, we were bound in algae-soaked bandages
then lay on a heated bed for an hour while we
enjoyed a scalp and foot massage. It’s not advisable
to drink alcohol for 24 hours after this treatment or it
destroys all the beneﬁts, but when it means looking
that bit better in your favourite little black dress, it’s
totally worth it. Next stop, the front row!

paul hollywoodthe ‘great british bake off’ star shares two
tasty treats from his new book ‘pies & puds’
Deliciously retro anD serves six
savoury choux buns
with creamy mushrooms
this recipe has a retro feel about it, and it’s none
the worse for that. the deliciously savoury flavours
here, and the beautifully crisp choux pastry, will
always go down a storm.
heat your oven to 220˚c/gas 7 and line a
baking tray with baking parchment.
to make the choux buns, put the butter, salt
and water into a large saucepan. heat gently until
the butter has melted, then bring to the boil.
immediately remove from the heat and tip in the
flour and thyme. beat with a wooden spoon to
form a smooth ball of dough that should leave the
sides of the pan.
now vigorously beat the egg into the hot
dough, a little at a time. this takes some elbow
grease! as you add the egg, the dough will
become stiff and glossy. stop adding the egg if the
dough starts to become loose – but you should
use up all or most of it.
spoon the dough into 6 large blobs, each
about 7cm in diameter, on the prepared baking
tray. (alternatively, you can pipe the choux on to
the tray.) sprinkle the parmesan evenly on top
of them.
bake in the centre of the oven for 10 minutes
until the choux buns are well risen and golden.
then turn the oven down to 190˚c/gas 5 and bake
for a further 30 minutes to ensure the centres are
cooked. the buns should be crisp and dry. on
removing from the oven, split one side of each
bun open to allow the steam to escape. transfer
to a wire rack to cool. For the filling, melt the
butter with the oil in a large, wide frying pan.
add the shallot and cook for a few minutes until
soft but not coloured. add the mushrooms, garlic
and thyme. cook over a high heat for about 10
minutes, stirring often, until the mushrooms are
buttery, soft and reduced in volume by about half,
and their liquid has been driven off.
add the sherry and crème fraîche and allow
to bubble gently for about 10 minutes to reduce
the sauce. stir in the lemon juice and parsley and
season with salt and plenty of black pepper.
cut each choux bun fully in half. Fill with the warm
mushroom mixture and serve, with a green salad.
For the choux buns
100g unsalted butter, cut into
roughly 1cm cubes
Pinch of salt
300ml water
130g strong white bread flour
1 tbsp chopped thyme
4 medium eggs, beaten
25g Parmesan, finely grated
For the Filling
25g unsalted butter
1 tbsp olive oil
1 large eschalion (banana
shallot), sliced
600g mixed mushrooms,
roughly chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1tsp thyme leaves
2 tbsp dry sherry
200g crème fraîche
Juice of ½ lemon
1 tbsp chopped flat-leaf parsley

This is a really pretty gâteau, perfect to serve as a
dessert for a summer party or special meal.
First make the sponge. Heat your oven
to 180˚C/gas 4. Butter and base-line a 23cm
springform cake tin.
Put the eggs and sugar in a heatproof bowl
over a pan of simmering water and whisk together
using a handheld electric whisk until thick, pale
and moussey, and doubled in volume. The mixture
should hold a trail on the surface when you lift
the whisk. Take off the heat and gently fold in the
melted butter, then the flour.
Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and
bake for 15-20 minutes until cooked and lightly
golden. Leave to cool completely, then remove the
sponge from the tin and peel off the paper. Line
the sides of the same tin with baking parchment,
first snipping a line of parallel cuts along the base
of the paper so it will fit snugly against the base. Put
the sponge base back into the tin.
To make the mousse, break up the jelly and put
it into a small pan with the water. Melt gently over
a low heat until smooth. Take off the heat and set
aside. Purée the 200g strawberries in a blender
until smooth and pass through a sieve to remove
the seeds.
Using an electric whisk or a mixer with a whisk
attachment, whisk the evaporated milk for at least
5 minutes until it is thick, bubbly and doubled in
volume. Gently fold in the liquid jelly, then fold in
the strawberry purée.
Arrange the strawberry slices around the edge
of the lined tin, cut side against the tin. Scatter any
extra strawberries over the sponge.
Pour the strawberry mousse
into the tin and gently level the
surface. It doesn’t matter if the
mousse doesn’t quite cover the
strawberries. Place in the fridge
for at least 2 hours to set.
Melt the chocolate in a
bowl over a pan of hot water.
Dip a few strawberries into
the melted chocolate to partially coat and place
on a piece of parchment to set. Put the remaining
melted chocolate into a paper piping bag, snip off
the tip and drizzle lines of chocolate over the top
of the mousse. Finish with the strawberries.

dishes from his latest cook book, ‘the french kitchen’
ServeS Six – a deliciouS Starter or light bite
DANDeLiON AND BAcON sALAD
the classic salade lyonnaise is made with
dandelion leaves, and if you are lucky enough to
have a garden with an untreated area in it, you can
pick your own. But dandelions can taste a little
bitter to some, so you can use frisée salad or curly
endive if you prefer.
pick through the salad leaves, and then wash
and dry them carefully. cut the bacon into strips
or batons, place them in a non-stick pan with
a drop of olive oil and then cook slowly over a
medium heat.
cut the baguette into about 20 slices, make
each about 1cm thick. Drizzle them with olive oil,
then bake in a preheated oven at 200°c/Fan 180°c/
Gas 6 for about 15 minutes or until crisp. rub with
a cut clove of garlic.
put a saucepan of water on to boil with a splash
of white wine vinegar. crack the eggs and carefully
drop them into the simmering, vinegared water to
poach. it should take 4 minutes for the whites to
be cooked, but the yolks should still be runny.
put the salad leaves in a bowl and pour the
golden-brown bacon and fat on top. Add the bread,
red wine vinegar and remaining olive oil, season
lightly with salt but generously with pepper, then
toss. serve the salad on to plates and place the
drained, hot eggs on top. serve immediately.
ingredientS
400g dandelion leaves

Dijon is famed for its mustard, hence the title of
this wonderfully simple and delicious chicken
recipe. In fact, I like to use several different
mustards here, as each adds its own character
and flavour to the finished dish. It’s always worth
having a selection of mustards anyway and they
keep well. Savora mustard contains a number of
spices and a touch of honey sweetness.
Preheat the oven to 200°C/Fan 180°C/Gas 6. Melt
the butter and oil in a roasting pot or flameproof
casserole dish on the hob. Season the chicken,
then add it to the pot and colour it on all sides.
Put the chicken in the oven to roast for 1¼
hours, but every 15 minutes turn the bird, baste it
and add some white wine until you’ve used up all
the wine. Once the chicken is cooked, take it out
of the pot and set it aside to rest.
Slice the mushrooms, add them to the pot and
cook them for 2–3 minutes. Pour in the brandy
and flambé briefly, then set aside to keep warm.
For the sauce, melt the butter in a heavy-based
pan, add the flour and cook for 3 minutes. Pour in
the milk, whisking well. Bring to the boil and cook
for 7–8 minutes. Stir in the crème fraiche, take the
pan off the heat and whisk in
the mustards and tarragon. Add
the mushrooms and any liquid
from the roasting pot to the
sauce. Do not boil the sauce again
or it may split and taste bitter.
Joint or carve the chicken
and serve with the mushroom
sauce. You need nothing more
than a few vegetables and a twirl of noodles.

Cross platform
partnership marketing
For the launch of the Nokia Lumia – the iconic
technology company’s first smart phone –
we created bold and stylish advertorials that
allowed the brand to use the power of OK!
Magazine in a communication campaign
tailored specifically to meet their stringent
marketing objectives.
This was a Northern & Shell cross platform
solution with a celebrity slant and executions
within OK!, new! and Star magazines
including integrated editorial pieces and for the
first time, spectacular front page ‘take overs’.
This partnership proved to be a fantastic and
spectacular way for Nokia to immerse their
brand within the fabric of Northern & Shell’s
celebrity titles and deliver exceptional stand
out for the Lumia’s launch.

Has the actress
(right) been hanging
out with rock ’n’
rollers for too long?
Kate’s often snapped
with a cigarette
in hand at events.
While out and about
she often tries to
cover the cigarette
with her hands – but
the smoke trail is
still visible!

Yes, we were mightily
shocked too when we saw
snaps of Jess puffing away
(right). the star, whose
book the honest Life
came out earlier this year,
prides herself on living
a toxic-free life, so we’re
not sure where cigarettes
come into the equation...

brushing her teeth
at the same time as
smoking a cigarette.
the actress (left)
appears to have put her
addictions to alcohol
and drugs behind her
– can she now do the
same with cigarettes?

some of the well-
known names behind
this month’s challenge.
emmerdale star
Kelsey-beth Crossley is
another famous face
eager to take advantage
of the extra support
offered this month
for wannabe non-
smokers. the actress
says: ‘it will be a
huge achievement
for me if i manage
to quit for
stoptober. i really
want to use the 28 days as just
the beginning of a smoke-free
life and i am more determined
than ever to succeed.’

obody wants to be a
smoker these days. banned
from public areas, pubs
and restaurants, smokers
have become social pariahs – doomed
to huddle in ever-dwindling groups
outside workplaces and bars. Celebrities
caught on early. bar the odd exception
– lindsay lohan, Kate Hudson or
Katherine Heigl – many have stopped
smoking or at least are careful not to be
photographed with a cigarette in hand.
For those lonely souls who are still
puffing away but are eager to stop, then
‘stoptober’ is the month to do it. last year
160,000 people stopped smoking for 28
days in the mass-organised event which
is supported by the british army and
big name football clubs, as well as major
charities including Cancer Research uK
and the british Heart Foundation. Mr
Motivator, linda Robson and big brother
stars Gina Rio and Dan Neal are just

battled to kick
