Miley Cyrus has never confirmed that she is dating actor Liam Hemsworth. But any doubt surrounding the pair’s relationship will surely be put to rest after seeing these steamy pictures.

Hannah Montana star Miley, 17, was spotted frolicking on the beach in Australia with The Last Song co-star Liam, 19, earlier this week. The actress, who spent New Year visiting Liam’s family and friends in Phillip Island, Victoria, seemed completely smitten with her new boyfriend as they spent the day at the beach.

Wearing a cropped T-shirt which showed off her washboard stomach and pierced tummy button, teamed with denim hotpants and aviator sunglasses, Miley looked every inch the American beach babe. Liam went for a ‘surfer dude’ look in a striped vest top and board shorts, also teamed with the Hollywood wardrobe staple of sunglasses.

Miley, who has been staying with Liam’s family for the past week after finishing her world tour, flew back to Los Angeles with Liam Tuesday — but not without causing chaos. Despite managing to keep largely out of sight during her trip, Miley’s presence was soon made known by the groups of fans who began waiting outside the Hemsworth family home in the hope of catching a glimpse of the Disney star.

When Miley, who had managed without a security escort for her whole trip, flew home from Melbourne airport, she caused such excitement that she was given a police escort through the terminal and rushed through customs in a bid to escape the paparazzi and screaming fans.

Jessica Alba shows off her shrinking curves

As one of Hollywood’s most popular pin-ups, Jessica Alba is known for her curvy figure. But as she walked up the red carpet at the People’s Choice Awards in Los Angeles Thursday night, the actress appeared less shapely than usual.

Wearing a silver mini-dress with plunging neckline, her razor-sharp collarbone was clearly protruding and her bust appeared slightly deflated. Despite spending the New Year’s holiday relaxing in Mexico with her family, Alba looked tired as she arrived at the ceremony. Wearing a pair of huge knotted leather Burberry Prosum platform heels with a silver and green Antonio Beradi mini-dress only accentuated Alba’s slender figure. One reason behind the actress’s apparent weight loss could be her busy filming schedule in recent months.

Since giving birth to daughter Honor Marie 19 months ago, Alba has made five movies and is set to begin filming a new comedy alongside Christopher Walken soon.

Cher-ing the spotlight

It must be daunting to star in your first movie. But who better to ease Christina Aguilera into the Hollywood life than Oscar-winning actress Cher, who co-stars with the singer in upcoming film Burlesque.

Clearly revelling in her acting success as she took 29-year-old Christina under her wing, Cher looked happy and content as the pair shot scenes together in Los Angeles. The musical film, which tells the story of a burlesque club called The Burlesque Lounge, sees Christina’s small town character Ali unveil her amazing voice in the venue, owned by Cher’s character, former dancer Tess.

Reese Witherspoon is all smiles

Reese Witherspoon definitely isn’t wallowing after her recent split from Jake Gyllenhaal. Just a few weeks after the couple ended their three-year romance, the Oscar winner was all smiles as she met a female friend for lunch Tuesday.

Looking casual in a checked shirt and grey skirt, Reese looked happy as she caught up with a friend over sushi in Brentwood, Los Angeles. The 33-year-old actress obviously had plenty to talk about with her blonde friend as they dined at the Sugar Fish Sushi restaurant, before making a pitstop at the Tavern Cafe for takeaway coffee. With a wide smile across her face, Reese presented her friend with a belated Christmas gift before saying goodbye.
