    LINDA EVANS NAMED QUEEN OF THE KITCHEN

    Actress Linda Evans has been named queen of the kitchen after winning 'Hell's Kitchen'.

    The former Dynasty star battled it out against comedian Adrian Edmondson in the live final on ITV1.

    Ultimately, the 66-year-old was chosen by the voting public as their favourite celebrity chef.

    Linda has spent the past 16 days under the tutelage of Michelin star chef Marco Pierre White as part of the reality TV show.

    In the very first episode of the show things didn't look promising for the actress as she was banished from the kitchen for disappointing Marco.

    However, she battled back and soon emerged triumphant in various tasks, including being the first contestant to kill an eel during one.

    Michelin-starred chef Raymond Blanc even picked Linda's crab starter and oriental salmon main as his favourite lunch during the final.

    After it was announced that she had won Linda clasped her hand over her mouth in disbelief before hugging Edmondson.

    She also announced that she had "loved" her experience in the kitchen.

    The Golden Globe-winning and Emmy nominated actress is most famous for role as Krystle Carrington on prime-time soap 'Dynasty'.

    After she left Dynasty, Evans semi-retired from acting and has only made occasional television appearances.

    She now resides in Lakewood, Washington, and owns a small chain of fitness centres.

    HAVE THEY OR HAVEN'T THEY? - PLASTIC FANTASTIC

    Have they or haven't they? That's the age old question when it comes to celebs and plastic surgery.

    Fame can often be a young person's game so it's little surprise that some stars decide that the act of growing old gracefully needs a little help.

    A nip here and a tuck there to give nature a helping hand is practically de rigueur when you live your life on a cinema screen or in the glare of a paparazzo's camera.

    These stars have all prompted speculation due to their changing faces - from nipped in nostrils and plumped up pouts, to ironed out wrinkles and crow's feet corrections.

    Some go for the subtle look, leaving it unclear whether their fresh new look is the work of a scalpel or simply 'healthy living'.

    Such coyness means that snaps of stars such as Goldie Hawn, Madonna, Meg Ryan and Posh Spice are regularly speculated over.

    Whether the rest of these stars have or haven't gone under the knife? It's between them and their surgeon.

    One thing is for sure though - these celebs are now all looking suspiciously plastic fantastic.

    But can you really expect any different when it comes to the knifestyles of the rich and famous?

    EastEnders won the battle of the soaps at last weekend?s British Soap Awards held on the drama series? home turf: BBC Television Centre.

    As well as winning the esteemed Best Soap award, the BBC One show scooped another six awards, including a lifetime achievement honour for actress and national institution, Barbara Windsor.

    Their other prizes were won by Robert Kazinsky (Best Actor), Nina Wadia (Best Comedy Performance) and Maisie Smith (Best Dramatic Performance from a Young Actor).

    It was the second year running that EastEnders beat off all competition for the Best Soap title.

    Their big rival, ITV?s long-running Coronation Street, still managed to get six awards of their own, including Best Actress for Katherine Kelly, Best Newcomer for Craig Gazey, an achievement award for writer Peter Whalley and the Best Villain title going to Gray O?Brien.

    Host for the evening was Philip Schofield and after the ceremony the guests moved on to the after party where they bopped and shimmied the night away.

    Cape Province, South Africa
    A WORLD OF DIVERSITY AND DIFFERENCE IN SOUTH AFRICA

    From vast plains to rolling mountains and golden beaches to barren deserts, South Africa is a vast country of huge diversity.

    And its bustling cities are just as varied as its landscapes - from the likes of hustling Johannesburg to the cosmopolitan Cape Town.

    The country is renowned for its wines and is the world's largest producer of gold.

    In 2010, it will also play host to the 2010 FIFA World Cup, the first time the contest has been held on the African continent.

    Cape Town is the second largest city in South Africa and is the capital of the Western Cape Province.

    It is also the legislative capital of the country, being the location of parliament and other government buildings.

    One of these is the old city hall, a large Edwardian building in the city centre that was built in 1905.

    It was here, on 11 February, 1990, that Nelson Mandela made his first public speech just hours after being release from prison.

    Cape Town is noted for its architectural heritage, with the highest density of Cape Dutch style buildings in the world.

    One of its latest constructions is slightly different however - the main stadium that will host matches during the World Cup.

    Known as the 'Mother City', the Cape Town metropolitan area covers a vast sprawl; however, the city centre or 'bowl' is relatively small.

    It is nestled between Table Bay and the Table Mountain range, which provides a dramatic backdrop to the city.

    The flat-topped Table Mountain, along with other famous peaks such as Lion's Head and Apostles Mountain, form part of the Table Mountain National Park.

    This area is a significant tourist attraction, with many visitors using the cableway or hiking to the top of Table Mountain.

    Its main feature is what gi...

    Seven ginger Guinea pigs for adoption named after famous red heads
    Seven Ginger Guinea Pigs Looking For a Home
    Seven ginger guinea pigs rescued by The Blue Cross animal charity have been named after famous red-heads.

    Staff at the animal charity have dubbed the model line-up after flame-haired celebrities Fergie (Sarah Ferguson), Annie, Bonnie (Langford), Nicola (Roberts of Girls Aloud), Geri (Halliwell), Bianca (Butcher, character in the UK soap Eastenders) and Lily (Cole).

    The seven copper-coloured cuties were brought into The Blue Cross adoption centre in Burford, Oxfordshire, along with five other Guinea pigs because their owner could no longer care for them.

    Staff at the centre are nuts about the ginger gang, who are thought to be about two years old, and said the seven lookalike sisters love to huddle together for company. They are rehoming them in pairs and groups as they are very sociable creatures.

    Katie Stiles, animal welfare assistant at The Blue Cross, one of the UK's leading animal charities, said: "These pretty ginger Guinea pigs are beauties with a real star quality so it only seemed right to name them after famous red-heads.

    "Guinea pigs can make brilliant pets for adults and children and we have already found these lovely ladies new homes."

    The Blue Cross centre in Burford, Oxfordshire rehomes dogs, cats, horses, rabbits and other small animals as well as Guinea pigs.

    Photographer's Lovely Bubbly Psychedelic Shots
    The humble bubble is revealed in stunning detail in these extraordinary psychedelic photographs.

    Jane Thomas' close-up shots capture the incredible patterns which form in the soapy water before it is blown out through an ordinary bubble wand.

    According to the 58-year-old, she was inspired to create the colourful masterpieces while doing the washing up.

    She comments: "One day I noticed the flat soapy films across the squares of the grid inside a grill pan.

    "I don't think I'd ever noticed their tiny colourful patterns before and it struck me they'd make a good subject.

    "I couldn't wait to get the camera out, that's when the mania for bubbles came about".

    Jane says her eye for detail has come from years of describing surroundings to her blind husband, Geoffrey.

    She said: "It has made me much more observant which, I think, is often how I notice tiny details of things around me which I like to photograph.

    "Although Geoffrey can't see my work he is the most supportive person I know. I wouldn't be doing any of this without his help, suggestions and encouragement"

    To get the shot Jane uses a variety of soaps - from normal children's bubble mixture to washing up liquid and shampoo.

    She says it takes a long time to get the right images and once the solution is applied to the bubble wand she has just 30 seconds to capture the best patterns.

    "I use a bright, office angle-poise lamp to illuminate the soap which I always photograph flat in the wand, never as a round bubble.

    "I have the camera, with a macro lens, on a tripod and I use a cable release for the shutter.

    "A soap film, if it's thick enough, can last in the wand for well over ten minutes but the patterns appear within the first few minutes of that time.
