California Coastal Commission Rejects U2 Guitarist's Plan for Five-House Compound Near Malibu

Apparently not a "Beautiful Day" for U2's The Edge.

At Los Angeles Times, "Coastal Commission rejects U2 guitarist's Malibu development plan":

The California Coastal Commission on Thursday rejected a controversial proposal by U2 guitarist the Edge to build five mansions on a rugged ridgeline above Malibu that is home to mountain lions and native chaparral.

The 8-4 vote was the culmination of what has become a closely watched property rights battle between the musician, whose real name is David Evans, and the agency that regulates development along the California coastline.

"In 38 years of this commission's existence, this is one of the three worst projects that I've seen in terms of environmental devastation," Peter Douglas, the agency's executive director, said in an interview after the vote. "It's a contradiction in terms — you can't be serious about being an environmentalist and pick this location" given the effects on habitat, land formation, scenic views and water quality.

Douglas said he expected the matter to end up in court.

And from Steve Lopez, "The Edge is a bully, not an environmentalist."

Now that's what you call a ball-gown! Tennis player Bethanie Mattek-Sands goes Gaga at pre-Wimbledon party in wacky yellow dress

By EMILY SHERIDAN

Flamboyant: American tennis player Bethanie Mattek-Sands makes an entrance at the WTA pre-Wimbledon party in a tennis ball dress


Bethanie Mattek-Sands has described herself as the Lady Gaga of the tennis world due to her flamboyant fashion taste.

So who better to dress the American tennis player than one of Gaga's own designers.

The 26-year-old made an attention-seeking entrance at the Women's Tennis Association pre-Wimbledon party in London last night in a tennis-inspired dress.


Wild thing: Mattek-Sands' dress was made using real tennis balls by London-based designer Alex Noble


The startling dress included a neon green corset made of parts of tennis balls, with matching shoulder pads.

More tennis balls were then attached to some neon green chiffon to create a Mohican-style hat.

Mattek-Sands, who is currently No.31 in the world rankings, commissioned British designer Alex Noble to create her flamboyant gown for the bash at the Kensington Roof Gardens.

Mattek-Sands is no stranger to breaking the style rules, who was fined for wearing a cowboy hat on the court in 2005.


Breaking the rules: Mattek-Sands is hoping to slip in a bit of her individualism to the court at Wimbledon this year


A lover of crazy fashion, Mattek-Sands knows she will have to tone down her wardrobe to adhere to Wimbledon's strict dress code.

So the pre-Wimbledon bash was the perfect opportunity for her to show her individualism outside the rigid rules of the South West London club.

She said last month: 'I don't think I can really challenge the colour rule right now.

'You know, I got to figure something out. Obviously the white, you got to work with a lot of the cuts. Obviously I'll be wearing my high socks. But yeah, it's always challenging to think of new things for Wimbledon.



Colour statement: American tennis player Serena Williams wore a figure-hugging jade Burberry dress, while Russian player Maria Sharapova wore a red skater dress


'I think the fans that come to Wimbledon appreciate everything I do. I think it's more probably the members and the people higher up that are tut-tutting me.'

Mattek-Sands and Noble met up in Madrid and Copenhagen earlier this month and was open to his idea of making the gown out of tennis balls.

In an online video following the making of the gown, Mattek-Sands said: 'Fashion has always been super-interesting for me.'

What a covert operation: Frank Lampard spent three months planning his £150,000 proposal to Christine Bleakley

By LIZ THOMAS

'Off in our own bubble': Christine Bleakley and her new fiancé Frank Lampard are in high spirits as they leave Soho House in West Hollywood last night


It took three months of secret planning and cost as much as £150,000 but Christine Bleakley has insisted fiancé Frank Lampard’s proposal was 'not very fancy'.

The couple are holidaying in America on a trip estimated to be costing £30,000 taking in Las Vegas and Los Angeles.

The Chelsea footballer is understood to have lavished in excess of £120,000 on the ring and arranged for one of his friends that worked in America to fly out ahead with it - to make sure that the proposal remained a surprise.


No wedding plans just yet: Bleakley told her Daybreak colleagues the pair were just enjoying the engagement before thinking about the actual nuptials


Lampard, 32, got down on one knee after a romantic beach side lunch in Los Angeles where the couple have spent the last few days.

Miss Bleakley, also 32, confessed she 'cried for ten minutes' after he proposed.

The couple have been on a two week break staying first at the Wynn Encore five star luxury resort in Nevada for almost a week, which costs £400 a night, and boasts its own golf course, private cabanas, four pools and a spa.


'It was a military operation': Bleakley and Lampard step out for dinner to celebrate their engagement in Beverly Hills


They travelled to California last weekend and it is understood they have been staying at the the £350-a-night SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills, which is a favourite with Hollywood biggest names.

Club class flights cost in excess of £8,000 return each at this time of year.


On cloud nine: The couple's happiness was clear to see following the proposal, with Christine saying that 'it all feels a bit surreal'


'He got a bit lovey-dovey': Frank's affectionate behaviour this week in Las Vegas did not go unnoticed by the UK media, and Christine now admits he did shower her with love in the lead up to the proposal

'I was kinda large'... but look at Jennifer Aniston now as she flaunts her toned figure in a plunging tuxedo and briefs

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Sexy: Jennifer flaunts her perfectly toned and tanned figure in a chic Ann Demeulemeester ensemble as she poses seductively with her Horrible Bosses co-star Jason Bateman for Marie Claire magazine


In a new interview Jennifer Aniston has admitted that as a child she was 'kinda large'.

But the 42-year-old actress was anything but as she slipped into a plunging tuxedo jacket and pair of briefs in a photoshoot for the July issue of Marie Claire magazine.

Jennifer flaunted her perfectly toned and tanned figure in the chic Ann Demeulemeester ensemble as she posed seductively with her Horrible Bosses co-star Jason Bateman.


Cheeky: For her cover shot, Jennifer also snuggles up to her other Horrible Bosses co-star Jason Sudekis in a nude pink satin slip


In the image the stunning former Friends star seductively cradles the actor's chin as he stands looking dapper in a black Giorgio Armani suit.

For her cover shot, Jennifer also snuggles up to her other Horrible Bosses co-star Jason Sudekis.

With a seductive stare, the actress sexily tugs at the actor's tie as she poses in a nude satin slip.

Jennifer also shows off her newly chopped and blonder bob in a messy bed hair style and her complexion is kept natural in minimal make-up.


'I was kinda large': Jennifer in her younger days


In her accompanying interview, the Hollywood actress reveals that as a child her frame was on the larger side, especially when she was an extra on one of her dad's John Aniston's soap opera's Search For Tomorrow.

'When I was 12, I asked him if I could get a part on his show,' she said.

'I wore a yellow skating outfit, and I was kinda large. It's hard to look good in yellow and I certainly did not.'

These days Aniston certainly does not need to worry about her size.

Her incredible figure has helped earn her numerous film roles, magazine covers and advertising campaigns.


New love? Jennifer was seen with Sudeikis, and her rumoured new love interest Justin Theroux at the MTV Movie Awards after party at the Soho House in Hollywood last week


Sophisticated and sexy Jennifer is especially a firm favourite covergirl in the magazine world.

In her latest film, Jennifer plays a sexually aggressive dentist who assaults her assistant, leading to him conspiring to murder her.

During filming, Jennifer and Jason were rumoured to have sparked up a romance, but in her interview the actress explains that their relationship was purely platonic.

'We should clear it up right now. We never dated, right Jason' she asks the actor.

'No, we didn't. But do we have to put that in the story? My mom - she will be crushed,' he replies jokingly.

While she's not dating Jason, Jennifer has something going on with another man with a name starting with the letter 'J'.

Sunshine state: The Royal couple's Canadian tour will be followed by a three day trip to California this July


The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will have an entourage of just seven people for their tour of Canada and the US, St James's Palace said today.

Seven may seem like quite a lot of support for two people. But the entourage includes two press secretaries and a couple of private secretaries to ensure that royal protocol is followed.

Catherine - who is fast becoming a fashion icon - has broken with tradition by asking not asked to be accompanied by a dresser.

The cutest dancers: Street dancing eight-year-olds steal the show on America's Got Talent

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Off to Vegas: The Art of Teknique show off their Hip Hop dance moves on America's Got Talent


They are still at elementary school. But this trio of street dancing pre-teens stole the show on last night's America's Got Talent.

The Art of Teknique - three boys aged from eight to ten - won themselves tickets to Vegas after they started busting out some killer Hip Hop moves dressed in dapper suits and black trainers.

The boys grinned cheekily throughout their performance and the judges were delighted, praising them for their 'real skill'.


Got the moves: The boys, aged eight to ten, were in perfect sync


Piers Morgan told the youngsters: 'You were absolutely brilliant,' while Sharon Osbourne added: "You guys love it. You love to dance.

'You're very natural performers, I adore you.'

When stand-up comic Howie Mandel asked the boys, from Sacramento in California if they liked girls yet, one shyly replied: 'No!'


Dapper: The boys wore matching suits and trainers for their performance


The usual crowd of strange wannabes was also out in force for the auditions, hosted by Nick Cannon, including a 46-year-old man who claimed to hold the world record for blowing up hot water bottles to bursting point.

Sadly he was unable to even explode even one - blaming a new brand.

Piers said: 'That was one of most pointless things ever seen in my entire life.'



We did it! The three best friends celebrate getting three yeses, as their mums watch from the side


Go boys! Their mothers watched from the side with Nick Cannon


An aunt of another rejected contestant then confronted Piers and told him he was 'no good'.

The highlight of the show for CNN host Piers was a 55-year-old realtor from Denver who came on stage with a 'special song' for him.

Marylee told the judges: 'I write songs for dead people. I take stories about someone who has died then write a song about them.

'I sang silently for decades. But I have written a special song for someone here who happens to be alive.'


Songs for dead people: Marylee made an exception and composed a song for a living person - Piers Morgan


I love her! Piers backed Marylee, saying 'it's about as good as it gets'


Piers put his head in his hands but after she had serenaded him, along with a projector movie of old Piers footage, he said: 'That was a good a song as I have ever heard and one of the best movies.

'I'll definitely see you go all the way. It was great for me and you get a resounding yes.'

Sharon and Howie disagreed however and Piers' crooner had to go home.



The panel: Piers, Sharon Morgan and stand-up comic Howie Mandel


Another hit of the night was a band of young dads called BGP who gave a rendition of Elton John's Bennie and the Jets.

They received the first standing ovation of the night and Piers said they had 'great charisma'.

Other contestants included a free-style dancer called Alaska who had the judges joining in, a 'charming' pole-dancer and a wannabe comedian who once told 676 jokes in one hour.
