The nearest most of us get to a slathering of St Tropez is the brown stuff that comes out of a bottle.

Not so for Beyoncé and hip-hop beau Jay-Z. The two lovebirds soaked up the fun on the sun-soaked French Riviera.

Rapper Jay-Z with the music midas touch needs a holiday after working flat-out with Rihanna (still top of the charts with Umbrella) and remixing Amy Winehouse’s Rehab.

Winehouse does rate the rapper even if she can’t remember meeting him for the first time because she was drunk. According to TSQ, she says, “(It was) really cool. He’s real sweet. I like Jay.”I remember one night we were some place and I was so drunk that Jay kept saying, ‘Okay, Amy, come on, sit down. You still with us?’” Helen

Drop down to St Tropez

It is hot work in a recording studio. So much so Kelly Rowland had to strip down to promote her brand spanking new solo album Ms Kelly.

She also admits that her record would never be released at the same time as former band member friend Beyonce. ‘We don’t like to release albums at the same time. We don’t think of it as competition, but everyone else does so we try and avoid it.’

The album track Ghetto is the best of the rest featuring Snoop Dogg. Stevo

Back on the scene

Your 5-a-day dished up. It’s good for you.

1 Grab your hat. Is gorgeous George Clooney getting married or what?

2  Pamper-me-week for Nicole Kidman. The A-list actress turns 40.

3 Top art hero. Walt Disney versus Leonardo Da Vinci. You decide.

4 Katie Holmes pregnant again? Baby number two news.

5 Naked ambition. Justin Timberlake likes to let it all hang out.

Six-pack Justin

So it seems there is a little bit of Mrs Doubtfire in all of us.

According to one of the latest online fashion polls, the no-frills dress worn by Robin Williams (when he was the big-busted nanny in Mrs Doubtfire) has made it into the Top 10 iconic movie dresses of all time.

The number one slot went to Marilyn Monroe’s billowing white halterneck dress from the film The Seven Year Itch.

In second place was the black Givenchy dress worn by Audrey Hepburn when she starred as Holly Golightly in Breakfast At Tiffany’s. The Givenchy dress sold at auction for £467,000. Look out for more movie-inspired dresses this week at Fashion At 4pm. The Ronald

That white dress

Amy Winehouse scooped the song gong of the year at the Mojo awards.

The jailhouse-tattooed singer’s single Rehab from her seriously good Back To Black album blew away the competition – and was voted for by Mojo readers.

Mojo’s editor-in-chief Phil Alexander said, ‘Rehab is nothing short of a modern-day classic.’

She out missed on the best album, however. The thumbs-up instead went to The Good, The Bad & The Queen, by Damon Albarn-fronted rock band.

Rocker Ozzy Osbourne was also celebrating with his icon award. Stevo

Classic Rehab pays off for Winehouse

It had to be the shortest-lived trend ever. Didn’t even last a season. Well it is fashion, darling.

Now I won’t say it wasn’t fun while it lasted. I went Swap-A-Rama Razzmatazz in east London where you swap clothes with whoever you’re standing next to. I waltzed out with a Stella McCartney jersey dress, thank you very much.

Hot on the kitten heels of one swap shop, come many more. Y-Swap and Visa Swap are chomping at the bit to pull in the customers.

But sometimes too much attention kills a trend flat. We are not into Britney bashing but this dress-switch for the cameras made us want to unswap fast.

Cast-offs or swap chic. You decide

Julia Roberts and husband Danny Moder were celebrating last night after the birth of their son, Henry Daniel Moder.

Baby Moder was born yesterday morning in Los Angeles and is a brother for two-year-old twins Phinnaeus and Hazel. Claudette

The time of day when we need a wardrobe pick-me-up.

Angelina Jolie reminded us about our love affair with the little black dress. The A-list actress cat-walked up the carpet (red) at her Mighty Heart premiere in New York and looked a million dollars even though she just paid a teeny $26 for her dress. Alexander McQueen’s dress costs just a bit, ahem, more. Find a sugar daddy, sugar mummy, sugar friend… and let them treat you to this must-have…

Alexander McQueen corsage bustier dress, £2,700. Because it’s worth it…

Your 5-a-day dished up. It’s good for you.

1 Wedding party and football parties. Check out Rod Stewart versus David Beckham.

2 Sixtysomething party and pop princess party. Check out Paul McCartney verus Kylie Minogue.

3 Pin-up girl and pap-it girl. Check out Shabnam versus Charley.

4 Polo and football. Prince William versus Robbie Williams.

5 Baby talk and baby rumours. Check out Christina Aguilera versus Nicole Richie.

Let’s get this party started

Football matches, premieres, house moves, photo shoots and pap-dodging. David Beckham is a man on a mission. Here he is in one place for five seconds after his last Real Madrid match with his sons who are growing like marrows.

Beckham and boys

Premieres, talk-shows, red-carpet spins and hanging with Brad. Angelina Jolie is always on the trot in her Louboutin heels (we’re not obsessed with the shoe-maker, honestly. Angie wore her Lous with her $26 black dress last week). Here she is more dressed down with her kids who are, yup, growing like marrows also.
