Not much of a petrol head: Mischa Barton and her boyfriend run into car trouble as they holiday in Spain

After taking herself off her 'man ban', Mischa Barton and her new beau Sebastian Knapp have proved inseparable.
Currently holidaying in Formentera with the London-based actor, yesterday the couple appeared to get into a spot of bother when their car broke down.
Mischa and Sebastian were spotted standing in the street as they waited for assistance.

Wearing a khaki green jacket as her straight hair fell to her shoulders, the 26-year-old looked like she was ready for the beach.

 

She showed off her legs in a pair of short pink denim shorts which she teamed with a neon pink one-piece.
The actress completed her summer look with a pair of pale pink studded pumps and a nude side bag.

Sebastian was dressed causal in a pair of white trainers, a green baseball cap, a white top and a pair of of grey shorts.
As her boyfriend assessed the damage of the vehicle from a distance, the actress was seen touching up her make up.
The couple removed their belongings from the boot of the car when assistance arrived on scene and towed the car away.

Earlier in the week, the happy couple were spotted departing the island of Ibiza as they loaded their luggage into a waiting vehicle after grabbing a bite to eat at Burger King.
Mischa appeared to be wearing no make-up, as she donned a pink lace dress that featured sheer billowing sleeves and a white star print.
She teamed the garment with white plimsolls and quirky sunglasses and even enjoyed a beer with her beau before making her way to the airport.

Sorry, ladies - but we men can NEVER just be your friends: As scientific research confirms what he learnt the hard way, COSMO LANDESMAN gets a few things off his chest

Ladies, I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you know that wonderful male friend who offers you a shoulder to cry on or company when you can’t get a date on a Saturday night?
The one you are absolutely certain has no sexual interest in you whatsoever? That man is a liar. That man is a cheat.
He is a con man guilty of friendship fraud. I know this because that man is me. And he’s every other man, too.

 

'Perhaps if I carry her far enough she'll sleep with me...': New research has shown that most men would jump into bed with their female friends at the drop of a hat

I’ve always fancied my female friends. At the age of ten, I fell in love with a girl called Pamela.
Too shy to tell her how I felt, we stayed friends right through the hormonal onslaught of adolescence. She blossomed into a great beauty; I blossomed into a chubby blob.
We’d get drunk together and she’d put her arms around me and say the words no man wants to hear: ‘You’re like a brother to me.’

 

When a woman says that to a man, what she is really saying is: ‘I would never go for somebody like you in a million years.’
This whole ‘I just want to be your friend’ thing doesn’t make much sense to men. We think that if you really like a man, if you really enjoy his company, his mind, his good manners, his humour and if you’re single, why wouldn’t you want to sleep with him? 

Rings true: When Harry Met Sally, starring Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan, posed the question of whether men and women can ever be just friends

The 1989 film When Harry Met Sally first raised the question of whether men and women can ever be just friends.
In the movie, Harry, played by Billy Crystal, was adamant that it wasn’t possible because the issue of sex always got in the way. Sally, played by Meg Ryan, disagreed. This week, science has declared that Harry was right all along.
In a survey by the University of Wisconsin, 88 sets of young male and female friends were asked to rate their attraction to each other in a confidential questionnaire.
It found that men — whether attached or single — were more likely to be attracted to their female friends and want to go on a date with them than the other way around.
Put simply, it means that given half a chance, most men would jump at the opportunity of having sex with their female friends. And yet, despite what these and other researchers have discovered over the past two decades, many women still believe a man can carry on a friendship with a woman, free from any thought of hanky panky.
I know sophisticated and worldly women — married and single — who will say of their male friends: ‘Oh, he never thinks of me in that way.’ How naive they are! 
It would be wonderful if men could be friends with a woman without ever imagining what it would be like to sleep with them. But then we wouldn’t be men.

They say that men think about sex every seven seconds. While this may be an exaggeration, we certainly think about our female friends in ways that would make them blush

They say that men think about sex every seven seconds. While this may be an exaggeration, we certainly think about our female friends in ways that would make them blush. 
As far as guys are concerned, friendship is merely an aphrodisiac. A man can meet a woman who is not, at first glance, that attractive or his type. But as time passes and he gets to know how funny and smart and fun she is, that woman becomes very sexy indeed — and men don’t mind the long game, like I did with Pamela.
For three decades I did my duty as a loyal and devoted friend — I was the shoulder to cry on, the dispenser of tea and sympathy, hugs, advice and brotherly affection.
I hid my disappointment when she gushed to me about her latest love, just as I hid my delight when it all went wrong.
I did this because what I always carried with me was hope. I clung to the belief that one day Pamela might change her mind.
And that day — or, rather, that drunken night — actually happened. OK, so it took 30 years for it to occur, but one morning I woke up in bed next to my best female friend. 
In films, sex between ‘just friends’ is usually shown to be awkward and the whole encounter is portrayed as an embarrassing mistake.
But it wasn’t — for me. That night was worth waiting for and while we didn’t last as a couple, our friendship survived our little fling and I still see Pamela today.

 

Loyal shoulder to cry on: But the male friends of many women secretly yearn for their relationships to escalate beyond the purely platonic, research shows

With other female friends I haven’t been so lucky. When I attempted to cross the friendship line with one woman, she slapped my face. Another said I was a ‘creep’.
My friend Lorraine just burst out laughing when I tried it on with her — and her reaction hurt far more than the other two.
But the most disastrous encounter was with a woman I will call Emma, who I met during my university days.
While I was ‘like a brother’ to her, she was like Bridget Bardot to me. We had a 35-year friendship. I never missed a birthday or a note of congratulation when she got her degree, married her husband or gave birth to her children.
I was the perfect male friend — until her marriage broke down.
Distraught at the break-up of her marriage, I did what a friend is supposed to do: I took her out to drown her sorrows.
Yes, I confess that at the back of my mind was the thought that I could be in with a shot.
And then many drinks later, in the words of the old Frank and Nancy Sinatra song, I went and spoiled it all by doing something stupid — like making a lunge for her.
Later, she wrote me a long letter about how I had ‘betrayed her, used her, lied to her’ and compared me to some internet creep trying to ‘groom’ her.
It seems that when a man discovers that a good female friend harbours sexual feelings for him he is flattered, but when a woman makes that discovery she feels saddened.
For women, friendship is about trust. When they say they want a cuddle, they really do just want a cuddle. When a man says he wants a cuddle, he means that he will tolerate one in the hope it leads to sex.

 

Keep those feelings hidden: Any attempt by men to get their secret feelings for female friends out into the open is liable to backfire, this writer advises

But what is a chap supposed to do? If you hide your sexual feelings you feel like a fraud — but if you are honest and open your heart you can end up being condemned. 
So can the expectations and desires between men and women who are friends ever be reconciled? 
Only if men realise that having sexual desire for a woman who is just your friend is fine — but trying to do something about it is not. (My success with Pamela was an exception to the rule.) Lose your self-control and you can easily lose a life-long friend.
And for their part, women have to accept the fact that yes, he does think that way about you — but it’s no big deal, or it shouldn’t be.
The best thing is if you can both be honest with each other, laugh it off and leave it behind. After all, what are friends for?

Saucy! Caggie Dunlop strips down to just her underwear to get hunk's attention...but it's only for a music video

Caggie Dunlop strips to her underwear in a laundrette but it’s all part of the job. 
The former Made in Chelsea beauty is the star of Lonsdale Boys Club’s music video for their second single Ready To Go and she gets things heated up by doing a saucy striptease. 
In the video, Caggie, 23, and pals spot the three musicians - Charlie, Topher and Loz – as they drive by and the blonde beauty immediately plots a way to snare the hunky lead singer.

Caggie Dunlop strips off to her underwear in the music video for Lonsdale Boys Club Ready To Go in order to attract lead singer Charlie Weaver

When her pal accidently on purpose spills ice-cream on Charlie, she sends him in the direction of the nearest laundrette where Caggie shows up.
The saucy singer-songwriter pulls off her clothes to reveal red underwear and a white bustier bra before changing into a white vest and green shots as she starts flirting with the hunky singer.

 

 

If this doesn't get his attention, nothing will! Caggie strips off for Charlie

While his unfortunate bandmates wonder where he has gone to Charlie and Caggie enjoy a dip in a pool and a passionate kiss. 
The pair then join their friends for some frolicking on the beach.
The chemistry between Caggie and handsome Charlie was palpable earlier this month as they filmed the scenes.

Caggie, who has previously dated Spencer Matthews, certainly seemed to be enjoying the company of Charlie as she gazed up at him while laughing.
She was later seen adjusting a necklace of his while he looked out to the sea.
The pair also seemed happy while they filmed the pool scene.

Things heat up for the pair after a dip in the pool as they enjoy a passionate kiss

Once again, the two appeared very close with one another and couldn't stop smiling as they chatted away and filmed scenes for the video.
Ready To Go is Lonsdale Boys Club's second single, and will be released on September 2, followed by their eponymously titled debut album later that month.
Caggie was recently linked to One Direction's womaniser Harry Styles after the pair snuggled up closely at West London's Dorsia club.

 

The loved up pair finally go to catch up with their friends after spending time flirting and canoodling in the pool

Harry, who is becoming well known for his preference of dating older women, shocked his fans when it was reported he was seeing Dunlop, who is only five years his senior.
After the pair were spotted partying together, a source told the Mirror newspaper how the pair had been flirting with each other even before One Direction headed to the US for their tour.

'Dominant or submissive, which one are you': Bikini-clad Imogen Thomas takes tips from erotic smash Fifty Shades of Grey

No wonder Imogen Thomas needed to take a dip in the pool.
The glamour model was probably desperate to cool down after reading the saucy S&M bestseller 50 Shades of Grey, dubbed Mommy Porn.
Thomas was on tenterhooks while reading the erotically charged novel - choosing to continue reading instead of lazing on the loungers.

 

Can't get enough: Imogen Thomas is gripped by the erotically charged bestseller 50 Shades of Grey
Squeezing into a patterned bikini, Thomas sat next to the pool while she dipped both her feet into the waters and her nose in the book.

 

She tweeted: 'Loving and addicted to 50 shades of grey: dominant or submissive which one are you?'
Eventually she managed to get away from the gripping storyline to go for a swim.

 

 

 

Thomas tweeted: 'Loving and addicted to 50 shades of grey: dominant or submissive which one are you?'

 

 

 

And if Thomas is in a bikini, photographers won't be far away.
The beautiful Big Brother star posed for cameras during her swim, but we're sure it wasn't long before she went back to some more lurid chapters of the novel.

 

Summer loving: Thomas is clearly enjoying the London weather at the moment

Thomas had previously moaned about the sunny weather because of unwanted attention -  writing yesterday, 'When the sun comes out the slimeballs come out! Jeeeeeez!!!!'
But it didn't seem to have spoilt her summer fun yesterday, parading through a London park wearing denim hot pants, a string bikini and eating an ice lolly suggestively.

 

Relaxed: The Welsh beauty is all smiles after sunning it up in the pool

If Thomas is a fan of the book, she's sure to love the planned movie.
Universal Pictures have bought the screen rights, and fans have set the internet abuzz with who they think should play the the manipulative billionaire who introduces a college graduate to the world of bondage and kinky sex.

 

Ice cool: Thomas was out in the London sun yesterday, where was caught suggestively sucking an ice lolly

 

A host of male heartthrobs have been rumoured for the part of Christian - including Ryan Gosling, Alexander Skarsgard, and Ian Somerhalder, while Kristen Stewart and Emma Thomposn  are contenders for female lead Anastasia.
E.L. James' explicit sensation has topped charts practically since its release in April, and filming for the big-screen version will reportedly begin in September.
Of course, Thomas may have to put on more clothes when she heads to the cinema though.

Divorced. The children have left home. If the phone rings, it's only a call centre... I admit it, I'm lonely

Arriving home from work, the lamp on a timer that has welcomed me back through the gloom of the past few months, burns, unnecessarily, in the sunny kitchen.
I’m reading a thriller, which is living up to its name. I sit down, still in my work clothes, and return eagerly to chapter three.

Two hours later, I put the book down and realise it’s dark. The lamp provides the only pool of light in an otherwise pitch-black house.
It’s also quiet, deathly quiet, without even the hum of the central heating or the swoosh of the washing machine to break the silence.
The mobile phone on the table beside me is silent. It hasn’t rung or beeped probably since yesterday, maybe the day before.
No calls, no emails, no texts, no Facebook notifications, no tweets, and there’s nothing blinking on the answering machine because no one has rung my landline since December, except people in call centres who can’t pronounce my name.

 

Novelist Marion McGilvary has opened up about how lonely an empty house can feel

All these methods of communication, and yet no one is communicating with me.

There was a time when coming back to an empty house would fill me with pleasure. I’d luxuriate in the extra, unexpected bonus of having the place to myself, and happily breathe in the peace and quiet.
But now, with the children grown, gone or not yet home from college, it’s just lonely.

There, I’ve said it: I’m lonely.

We’re all so popular now, so connected. Social networking is the buzzword.
We have all these new verbs: we blog, we Skype and tweet our thoughts in fewer than 140 characters.
We post our status on Facebook and talk and surf constantly on our mobiles, so that the trains or buses in the evening are a sea of heads, all bowed as though in prayer, worshipping their BlackBerries and iPhones, tap, tap, tap — the rosary of the text message.

It’s a mark of shame not to have any friends, real or virtual, no followers, not to be linked in to everyone you ever met for five minutes — once — at a party in 1974.

So finding yourself at home, alone, with only 30 followers on Twitter, four of whom are the same person, a silent phone and no one you care to call must mean there’s something wrong with you.
You’re unpopular, friendless, abandoned, alone. Lonely.
Surely somewhere there’s a party you should be at, a dinner you should be invited to, a partner who should be partnering you, a family who should be missing you?

Marion McGilvary says too much 'me time' leaves her feeling lonely

In my case, I have four children and my solitude is only temporary. Soon my newly graduated son and student daughter will arrive to re-colonise their bedrooms.
For the next year or two, my semi-adult offspring will continue to be reluctant, economic refugees in the house.
Even grown-up children need their parents — but they just need them to be alive. They don’t need them in the same room.
They want you to be uncomplainingly happy somewhere over there. In the background, out of the way.
And only to step forward when needed. They don’t want you to tag them on Facebook. This is as it should be.
You raise them to be confident, caring, well-adjusted, independent adults with rich, fulfilled lives and friends of their own.
You can’t whine about being lonely if they then do just that. If mine were still clinging to me for company, I would feel I had failed them.
Like, surely, I have failed at this popularity contest called life if I’m lonely; as, apart from Eleanor Rigby, the elderly and the recently bereaved, apparently I’m the only one who feels this way.
It’s not as though I am unfulfilled. I’m a novelist with a convivial job in a publishing company. My colleagues are sociable and fun.
‘Can’t you call someone from work?’ my former husband urged recently, when a back injury transformed me from able to disabled in the course of a day, and I realised, with horror, that he was one of the few people in my support system I could call on for help.

She's electric! Minnie Driver brightens up her workout with neon pink leggings

Not everyone wants to be noticed during a workout but with her trim figure, Minnie Driver is happy to turn heads.
The 42-year-old actress decided to draw attention to her slim shape by heading to the gym today in a pair of skin-tight leggings in an eye-popping electric pink hue.
She let the neon bottoms make a fashion statement and teamed them with a simple thin white top and matching trainers.

 

Bright spark: Minnie Driver was a sight for sore eyes in a pair of electric pink workout leggings today

Minnie also off-set her colourful trainers with a cobalt blue bag as she made her way to her workout session in Beverly Hills.
The brunette left her locks loose and went make-up free for the outing but shielded her face under a pair of aviator sunglasses.
She was seen chatting into her mobile phone as she hurried down the street.

Eye-catching style: Minnie also sported a simple white top and trainers and off-set the neon with a cobalt blue handbag

It seems the Good Will Hunting star sticks to a strict exercise regime which is how she stays in such great shape.
Over the weekend Minnie was spotted enjoying an outing with her son Henry in Malibu.
The three-year-old showed he is already a natural in front of the camera when he and his famous mother were seen leaving Coogie's Beach Café.

 

Fantastic at 42: It's no wonder Minnie is happy to show off her figure when she looks so good in skin-tight leggings

 

On the go: Minnie made a phone call as she hurried through Beverly Hills to get to her exercise session

The cute little boy waved and pointed at the camera and even stood naturally with Minnie for a photograph, completely undaunted by the lens.
Minnie had been notoriously secretive about Henry's father when she first announced her pregnancy, but recently became more relaxed about her little boy, recently telling The Observer magazine: ‘I don’t need to protect him anymore. He can fend for himself. He’s a grown-up.’
Henry's father was then revealed to be Timothy J Lea, 52, co-producer of Mninie's TV drama The Riches, as well as hit shows CSI New York and Law and Order.

 

Fuss-free: The star appeared to be wearing no make-up but covered up her face with a pair of aviator sunglasses
