Kellan Lutz models for Calvin Klein Underwear
Kellan Lutz shows a different side to himself as he models in Calvin Klein's new underwear campaign. The Twilight actor said he worked on getting in shape before shooting: "Working out in a gym can get boring, so I prefer to be outdoors doing something active. Whether it is scuba diving or swimming, I just want it to be something extreme. The one sport that I love to do is snowboarding. It's a great core and leg work-out." Well, it definitely seems to have worked!

Rihanna was feisty as ever on stage in France last night (that now-iconic Mickey Mouse helmet! Love it!), despite rumours that the starlet had been rushed to hospital earlier in the day. Reports claimed that Rihanna spent two-and-a-half hours in accident and emergency being treated for a mystery illness before heading back to the concert venue. Looked more like she spent the day at Euro Disney than in a hospital!

Surely that's in bad taste…?
