Noted musician Sidhant Kapoor is releasing his latest single titled ‘Beparwah’, inspired by the spirited life of children from the slums, as depicted in the poem ‘Slum Children at Play’ by legendary writer Ruskin Bond. The verses touched Sidhant’s heart and inspired him to compose Beparwah as a song that celebrates the carefree nature of street children. The single released in a gala ceremony at the Sahara Star Hotel, Mumbai in the presence of guest star Tabu and other eminent guests; Sidhant’s father actor-singer Ruhan Kapoor, Paul Marshal, Tejas Verma, Gunjan Sinha and Somansh Dangwal.

To get the rights, Sidhant went all the way to meet the revered writer at his famous home in the hills of Mussoorie. Mr. Bond was moved by Sidhant’s passion. He not only gave his permission but narrated the poem in the track and made a special appearance in the video. Making...

Abbey Clancy feels guilty leaving her children for work. The 'Britain's Next Top Model' judge is struggling to balance her career with caring for her daughters Sophia, four, and eight-month-old Liberty, whom she has with her husband Peter Crouch, and has admitted tearing herself away from her little ones is starting to send her ''mad.'' She explained: ''Working-mother guilt is an ongoing problem; I beat myself up about it. ''We're up in the night with the baby, knackered and snapping at each other. I'm borderline going mad. You feel guilty going to work, leaving them (at home) ill.'' The 30-year-old model is currently...

Britain's Next Top Model is strutting back onto our screens next year, and the first pictures of the new judging panel have now been revealed.

Abbey Clancy, Paul Sculfor, Hilary Alexander and Nicky Johnston strike a pose together for the first time in the images.

Clancy said: "Britain's Next Top Model is a show very close to my heart as it's where I started my career so I am thrilled to be returning as head judge.

"We have an incredible team working on this series and I can't wait to bring my own spin to the show.

"Lifetime viewers should expect more drama and style than ever before, and the girls better be ready to bring their A game!"

Britain's Next Top Model is returning to Lifetime after Sky axed the series in 2013.

The next series began filming this month and will air on Lifetime on 2016.

Abbey Clancy will be returning to the catwalk as the head judge on Britain's Next Top Model next year.

The former contestant will be bringing her expertise to the panel alongside fellow head judge and model Paul Sculfor, as well as fashion director Hilary Alexander and celebrity photographer Nicky Johnston.

Just don't mention that she was only runner-up in 2006. That would be awkward.

Clancy might not have taken the top prize when she competed, but the show launched her career, and she went on to win Strictly Come Dancing in 2013 instead.

She was also a contestant on this year's Great Comic Relief Bake Off. Is there nothing she can't do?

Britain's Next Top Model is returning on Lifetime after Sky axed the series in 2013.

The new series begins shooting in September, and will air from an undisclosed date in 2016.

The Shock!

In tonight's episode of The X Factor (September 26), Cheryl Fernandez-Versini boldly chose to send Chloe-Jasmine Whichello through to Judges' Houses.

After completing her final 6 lineup, the singer made the controversial decision to swap Orla Keogh for the former Britain's Next Top Model contestant (despite having previously put Chloe O'Gorman through in her place), dividing opinion on social media.

Digital Spy rounds up some of the best reactions to the 'Crazy Stupid Love' singer's Boot Camp u-turn below:

Bad bad bad bad bad decision @CherylOfficial keeping Chloe Jasmine. Shes fake. No one likes her. And youve just swapped trash for diamonds.

@CherylOfficial Big mistake with Chloe Jasmine, she is awful. Its sad girls that were better went home

Am I missing something with Chloe Jasmine am I?

Vile.... #XFactor

I think Chloe Jasmine annoys me more...

It's fair to say that Lisa Snowdon knows her stuff when it comes to fashion, given that she has a big modelling CV and even hosted Britain's Next Top Model. It's also fair to say that we're not all blessed with that kind of style savvy! Luckily, Lisa's helping out in her TLC show Your Style in His Hands, which sees men spending £5,000 on a brand new wardrobe for their partners. Yikes! We caught up with Lisa - who'll be celebrating TLC's first birthday on April 30 - to find out more about the show, turning the tables in the revenge episode, the mistakes the men make and what she thinks of Kanye controlling Kim's wardrobe...

So, Lisa, what are the couples like in the show?

"All the couples are so cute. They've all got different stories and different situations - some of them are married, some of them aren't...

Britain and Ireland's Next Top Model concludes its ninth series this week and to celebrate the show has released a special compilation video looking back at nine years of tears, catwalks and model melodrama on the Sky Living reality show.

Watch the retrospective video from Britain's Next Top Model:

The video features some of the show's most memorable moments in its nine-year history and also includes clips of the former judges and hosts such as Lisa Snowdon, Huggy Ragnarsson and Julien MacDonald.

Elle Macpherson, Dannii Minogue and Tyson Beckford are the current panel of experts on the reality show.

The Britain and Ireland's Next Top Model final airs on Thursday, September 5 at 9pm.

Emma Ward, Lauren Lambert and Sarah Kennedy are the trio of girls aiming to secure a model contract.

The final challenge will feature the trio in a swimwear shoot for St Tropez.

London, June 23: TV host and model Lisa Snowdon has criticised pop star Britney Spears's style choices. She feels the pop star needs to "do more".

"I think Britney Spears doesn't always make the best of what she's got. She's a really pretty young girl but, she could do more," femalefirst.co.uk quoted Snowdon as saying.

Snowdon, who was associated with reality show "Britain's Next Top Model" between 2006 and 2009, believes there are a lot of celebrities who get their clothing choices right every time, be it on the red carpet or their day-to-day lives.

"Natalie Portman's got an elegant, understated style and I always.

Fashion expert Louise Roe knows that romance never goes out of style. The host of NBC's Fashion Star was vacationing with her boyfriend of 2½ years, Josh Slack, when he proposed to her - with her great-grandmother's aquamarine ring. "I'm on cloud nine," Roe tells People. "We're going to choose an engagement ring together but for now I'm wearing this, which has huge sentimental value to me."Poll: The Wedding Album You Can't Wait to See in 2013A British television personality and fashion editor-at-large for Glamour, Roe, who turned 31 on Monday, has replaced Elle MacPherson on Fashion Star and hosts Plain Jane on MTV.

We didn't think it would happen, but a foreigner has been named "America's Next Top Model!"Sophie Sumner of Oxford, England edged out Laura Lafrate of Scotia, New York as the winner of Season 18 of the long-running modeling competition.This cycle's theme was "British Invasion," with seven U.S. models competing against seven U.K. models. Sumner won over Tyra Banks and the judges with her strong photos and vivacious personality. Sumner previously competed on "Britain's Next Top Model" and was the runner-up in Season 5 of that show. During "America's Next Top Model," Sophie expressed doubt that a Brit could win, and was visibly surprised when she was named the winner. Check out her winning moment below:Sophie's prizes include a $100,000 contract with Covergirl, contracts with L.A. Models and New York Model Management, a guest correspondent role on "Extra," a fashion spread in Vogue Italia. She also will record a...

America's Next Top Model's clash of nations wrapped up Wednesday night, with Britain's Sophie Sumner and America's Laura Lafrate squaring off in the finale. So, who did their country most proud? Read on to find out the winner. After a dramatic finale that saw Lafrate rushed to the hospital early on with an apparent panic attack, it was Sumner who walked away with the title. The judges heaped praise on the British contestant, with host Tyra Banks even using the word "genius" to describe her work in one contest. The show's 18th cycle, themed "British Invasion," featured American and British models competing.

The "America's Next Top Model: British Invasion" cycle came to an end Wednesday night (May 30) and the winner is ... Sophie Sumner. This was Sophie's second trip to the Final 2, as she made it that far on her cycle of "Britain's Next Top Model," but this time it ended better for her.

The finale saw the girls do the annual Cover Girl commercial and print ad shoot. Laura has a panic attack in the middle of the shoot and is taken to the hospital, but she rallies and performs well at a photo shoot for Vogue Italia - her look is very complimentary to the high-fashion spa surroundings of the shoot.

Tyra comes to the house to give Laura a counseling session, to which Laura says in a talking-head moment, "She wasn't just a judge. She was Tyra Banks, a person, just like everybody else." Heh.

The final runway show is...

Maybe the Brits were exactly what Tyra needed to spice up the eighteenth cycle of America's Next Top Model, because we haven't seen a meltdown on the show this crazy since Tyra screamed, "We Were All Rooting For You!" at Tiffany in cycle 4.

If you haven't seen the first two episodes of this new British Invasion cycle, a little background: Half of the models previously appeared on Britain's Next Top Model, including Louise -- the curvaceous and strong-willed beauty throwing the fit below. On Bntm, Louise (who came in as her cycle's runner-up) got into trouble for her bad attitude, and it looks like not much has changed since her trip to our shores. In this clip from Wednesday's upcoming episode, Louise decides to take on Tyra's newest and most outspoken judge, who's more than comfortable when it comes to yelling at spoiled young ladies on TV: The Hills' Kelly Cutrone.

Jasmia Robinson was the first girl eliminated from "America's Next Top Model: British Invasion." She tells Zap2it that she doesn't think having been on "Britain's Next Top Model" gave the Brits an advantage.

Are you glad you did "America's Next Top Model"? Was it everything you hoped or expected it would be?

"I'm definitely glad that I did 'America's Next Top Model.' I got to meet Nigel Barker, Miss Jay, Tyra Banks, who had been my idols for years. Ever since I was a little girl I'd watched 'America's Next Top Model' and dreamt of being on the show. To actually live it was a dream come true. I wish I had gone further in the competition, but I dont' regret it. It was my first time in America and to be on 'America's Next Top Model' and to have that platform to America,...

National pride was at stake on the Season 18 Premiere of "America's Next Top Model" (Wed., 9 p.m. Est on The CW).

The girls faced off against their compatriots from "Britain's Next Top Model" on the runway/catwalk, and the competition was fierce.

The first bout saw Jasmia going up against Azmarie. As they turned at the end of the runway the English model deliberately flung her coat in Azmarie's face and she was not happy about it.

Fiesty Scot Ashley was in fierce form as she yelled "Bring it on, b*tch!" at her opponent, Candace. However, when Candace trash-talked back to her, Ashley got all upset.

"She called me a prostitute!" she said incredulously. "She can't call me that. How rude!"

After she was dissed by Seymone, Londoner Louise offered some advice: "Love, wind your neck in!" The insult was lost on Seymone, however. "Wind up your neck? I don't know what that means.

Here we are, "America's Next Top Model" fans! Not only is our favorite ridiculous reality show back, but there are Brits! Cheerio, guvna! Based on the pictures they released pre-show, we think the UK girls have a huge advantage over the Us girls.

During intros, here's what stood out:

We love the androgynous girl, Azmarie. She comes across way better in person than she did in her still photo. Sophie says the dictionary is from Oxford, which is where she's from. We are confident she has a huge vocabulary and mastery of the English language. Annaliese says the Us is "not ready for the British invasion. We did it once, we can do it again." Do you suppose she means the Beatles? Because we whipped your butts in the Revolutionary War, thanks.We meet Laura, the bisexual, who has designs on Azmarie the lesbian. Then there's Ashley, who is Scottish,...

"America's Next Top Model" is back for its 18th cycle Wednesday night (Feb. 29) on the CW. Tyra Banks tells TV Guide it's "the most competitive season" they've ever had.

"We've never had teams before. So it's seven British girls versus seven American girls. And the British girls are from 'Britain's Next Top Model' so they have a little bit of a leg up," says Banks. She also shares some really interesting insight into past seasons.

"In Cycle 3 we had a plus-sized girl, Tocarra, and I felt like she was a star and could win. And I was outvoted. And that haunted me forever," says Banks. "And Nigel confessed about a year ago that he made a mistake by sending her home. He says it was probably one of his biggest mistakes in 'Top Model' history."

"When Tyson Beckford was our guest judge, it went on and on and on.

The British are coming! Tyra Banks's hit show America's Next Top Model returns to the CW for its 18th cycle on Feb. 29 with a brand new twist: seven young women will compete against seven favorite contestants from Britain's Next Top Model.

Matt Damon attended Lisa Snowdon's 40th birthday party in London on Saturday night. Along with his wife Luciana, who looked gorgeous in a teal gown, Matt attended the UK TV presenter's bash at the Portland Place venue. Lisa and Matt are apparently great friends, having met back when she dated George Clooney. Her relationship with George was on-again, off-again from 2000 to 2005. In the years since, Lisa has stuck largely in the UK working on projects like Britain's Next Top Model and the Capital Breakfast morning show. Matt and Luciana headed to England after a getaway to St. Barts. Matt Damon was shirtless for the vacation with Luciana, Chris Hemsworth, and a pregnant Elsa Pataky. The group hung out on a mega-yacht - complete with a helipad - for a few days, which came as a nice break from the cold for NYC residents Matt and Luciana. View Slideshow ›...

He also claimed that he had snubbed an offer to be on the judging panel for Britain's Next Top Model. "I think the Next Top Model shows are turgid. I turned it down. I said no," Perou told Digital Spy. "I find it a nonsense. Having said that I turned down Next Top Model, I did do Make Me A Supermodel, which was in the UK and in the States. But I couldn't do any more of those shows because they are a nonsense." He continued: "The talent pool for those shows is so small because if you were good enough to be a model, you would (more)...

Britain's Next Top Model star Amelia Thomas has admitted that she nearly "cracked" on the show.
