Meanwhile Heidi Klum went for the simple and understate look in a black mini dress, embellished only with white embroidery around the neck.

The 37-year-old presenter of Seriously Funny Kids matched her tailored shift with a pair of black high heels, wearing her hair in a simple slicked back bun.


White ladies: Disney star Selena Gomez, 18, and Kim Kardashian, 30, wore matching outfits


Perhaps her low-key look was simply down to time constraints.

Earlier in the day the mother-of-four had dressed down in a striped shirt as she took her daughters Leni, six, and Lou, one, to ballet class with husband Seal.

Choosing white were reality star Kim Kardashian and Disney Star Selena Gomez, 18, whose boyfriend Justin Bieber was absent - away performing in Europe.

Sisters Paris and Nicki Hilton wore pink and white mini dresses, posing together as they stood on the red carpet under the late afternoon LA sun. Paris held one leg up in the style of a flamingo, while her sister posed more traditionally.

Also on the red carpet was the Black Eyed Peas, with Fergie making it clear she was ready to embrace whatever the evening threw at her.

The glamorous frontwoman said she's become strangely curious - and a little afraid - of what the infamous slime will feel, smell and taste like at the 24th annual Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Award.

She'll be donning a custom-made outfit for a kid-friendly medley with her fellow Peas, marking the group's first time at the slimy ceremony.

'We've always been on tour every year,' said Fergie. 'My mom would call me and say, "You know you're nominated for Kids' Choice Awards."

'I would watch the show on the Internet, and it would make me sad that we couldn't be there. This is a special moment for us to be able to come to this particular award show and rock it.'

Fergie and the Peas are also up for one of the fan-favourite ceremony's blimp-shaped trophies in the favourite music group category against musical siblings the Jonas Brothers, country crooners Lady Antebellum and boy band Big Time Rush, who are also slated to perform at the University of Southern California's Galen Center, along with Willow Smith and Train.

Presenters - and possible slimees - include Jason Segel, Russell Brand, Josh Duhamel, Sofia Vergara, Jane Lynch and Miranda Cosgrove.

Marjorie Cohn, Nickelodeon's president of development and original programming, admitted celebs are usually given a head's up if they're due for a sliming but promised that no one can truly anticipate the green goop.


TV stars: iCarly star Miranda Cosgrove, 17, Debby Ryan, 17 from 16 Wishes and Gossip Girl's Taylor Momsen


All dressed up: Disney star Bella Thorne, 13, Race To With Mountain star AnnaSophia Robb, 17, and Life Unexpected's Arielle Kebbel, 26


'Everybody knows if they're going to be slimed, but nobody exactly knows what it's going to feel like or how they're going to respond to it,' teased Cohn.

'There's still a giant sense of surprise. No one rehearses being slimed. You can't really imagine the feeling of that coldness dripping through your clothes and into every pore of your body.'

A host of aspiring young stars and actresses joined her on the red carpet, keen to have their moment in the spotlight.

Judge that: Gary Barlow and Lily Allen 'to join X Factor'... and Simon Cowell will be back on panel of five

By LARA GOULD

'Very different': Take That star Gary Barlow and pop singer Lily Allen are being lined up to join The X Factor as judges as the show undergoes a radical overhaul


Take That star Gary Barlow and pop singer Lily Allen are being lined up to join The X Factor as judges as the show undergoes a radical overhaul.

A senior source on the ITV show said the pair are set to join Louis Walsh and Dannii Minogue on the panel.

Simon Cowell is returning to the show - but only for the live programmes, when the number of judges will be increased to five.


He's back: Simon Cowell is returning to the show - but only for the live programmes. Cheryl Cole, who is pursuing other opportunities in America, is not believed to be taking part in the next series


Cheryl Cole, who is pursuing other opportunities in America, is not believed to be taking part in the next series.

ITV boss Peter Fincham this week confirmed The X Factor - which started in 2004 - will be 'very different' when it returns in August.

He told The Mail on Sunday: 'We will announce plans for the panel when we are ready.

'But what I can tell you at this stage is that the new series of The X Factor will be very new and very different from what we have seen before.'


New faces: A senior source on the ITV show said Barlow and Allen are set to join Louis Walsh and Dannii Minogue on the panel


A senior X Factor source added: ­'Contracts are due to be signed this week for the existing judges who are returning.

'Lily Allen and Gary Barlow are the names that are being talked about to fill the vacancies.'

Award-winning songwriter Barlow, 40, has already made several appearances on The X Factor with his band Take That.

Allen, 25, has said that she planned to retire from making music following the phenomenal success of her two Top 10 albums Alright, Still and It's Not Me, It's You.

Barlow and Allen have recently set up their own record labels and both may be interested in the opportunities to develop talent as mentors on The X Factor.

Even though Simon Cowell is launching the American version of The X Factor this year, he has agreed to work on the live part of the British shows.

Christina Aguilera ditches her toy-boy for the day... and spends some time with her young man

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Mummy's boy: Christina Aguilera picks up son Max from pre-school in Santa Monica today


Christina Aguilera burst out from under the shadow of scandal she's been living beneath to enjoy the Californian sunshine with her son Max today - as she played the role of doting mother with conviction.

The Burlesque star, 30 , even managed some friendly conversation with estranged husband Jordan Bratman, 33, as he handed over the three-year-old's toys and chair after dropping him off at the Santa Monica pre-school.

It created a startlingly different vignette from the images currently associated with the Ain't No Other Man singer.


Playful: Young Max sticks out his tongue at photographers as his mother carries him into their car


Her toy-boy boyfriend she was arrested with in West Hollywood on suspicion of DUI and public intoxication, was nowhere to be seen today.

She was later cleared and released while Matt Rutler, who had been driving, was charged and only discharged with $30,000 bail.

Aguilera met the 25-year-old production assistant on the set of Burlesque last year, and has seen her reputation plummet since they made their relationship official in November last year.


Single parent: Max's dad, record producer Jordan Bratman, had dropped the three-year-old off at pre-school earlier in the day



Bright and breezy: The singer gave herself a boost with a push-up bra


It has been claimed that they had already been dating for some months, but Aguilera only filed for divorce from Bratman in October, citing 'irreconcilable differences.'

It's been downhill from there on in, with performances at the Grammys and the Super Bowl lambasted - the latter saw her forget the words to the National Anthem - and course that arrest.

The mugshot of Aguilera that finally made it's way into the public domain was terrifying in itself but then the tales of drug excess and a terrible dependence on alcohol began to circulate.


Copy cat: Christina was joined by a friend and the pair wore matching sandals


Parent swap: The singer's ex Jordan Bratman was also pictured at the school as the former couple swapped child care duties

Video of babies 'talking' takes the Internet by storm and is viewed TEN MILLION times on YouTube

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Online hit: Twins Sam and Ren McEntee, aged just 17 months, enjoy a lively exchange in which they laugh, raise their hands emphatically and nod their heads


A home video of two babies engaged in an animated conversation in a kitchen has become an Internet phenomenon.

The two-minute clip shows twin brothers Sam and Ren McEntee, aged just 17 months and barely able to stand, enjoying a lively exchange in which they laugh, raise their hands emphatically and nod their heads.

So far the footage has attracted a staggering 9.4million views on YouTube.

This is probably because the boys' conversation is so adult in its mannerisms and they appear to genuinely understand what each other is saying.

Transfixed viewers even made suggestions as to what the brothers might be talking about - before comments on the video were disabled.

Suggestions had included one brother telling the other 'That diaper is so 2010', before receiving a response of 'If you're so smart, where is your other sock, Einstein?'

The babies' mother Abby has a blog, twinmamarama.com, on which she writes about her experiences as a twin sister raising twin boys.


Good times: The home video has been watched almost ten million times


Mrs McEntee wrote on Wednesday: 'We've had a fascinating time seeing language blooming around here. Now the experts weigh in on this kind of twin language.

'I remember my own folks talking about my sister and I sending out verbal signals (essentially squeaks and shouts) in an attempt to pinpoint the location of our twin sister around the house!'

Child development specialists have even chimed in to say how natural and healthy it is for babies to develop language skills as they mature.


An early 15 minutes? The brothers arrive to make in Times Square, New York, to make an appearance on Good Morning America this week


Professor Karen Thorpe, of the Queensland University of Technology’s School of Psychology and Counselling, told ABC News: 'Babies are wired for communication from the start and we see here a fine example of how sophisticated and beautiful communication in even young children can be.'

The broadcaster also reported that 40 per cent of twins develop what appears to be their own language.

However, they are mimicking sounds and mannerisms that they have heard or seen, rather than actually understanding what each other is saying.
