Elizabeth Hurley has maintained her stunning figure with a wide array of controversial diets over the years. But after new boyfriend Shane Warne revealed he’s lost 22 pounds over the past few months, fans are wondering if his model girlfriend has influenced his diet. The Australian cricketer showed off his slimmed-down physique in a tight T-shirt Friday last as he launched his clothing line in Mumbai, India. Standing next to svelte Hurley, 45, in tops from his Spinners range, there was no denying Warne looked better than he has done in years. Although Warne’s manager insisted his new slimline look was down to a health kick of his own decision, many have noticed the sportsman’s more coiffed appearance in recent months. His manager James Erskine laughed off speculation that diet-conscious Hurley had influenced her boyfriend, insisting the 42-year-old was simply getting fitter so he could match his twenty-something teammates in the Rajasthan Royals. Erskine said: “He has been on a real fitness campaign since about eight weeks before he went to India.”

Lauren Alaina and Scotty McCreery to battle it out in American Idol final

The next American Idol will be Lauren Alaina or Scotty McCreery – after Haley Reinhart was eliminated from the show. Alaina, 16, and McCreery, 17, will go head to head for the tenth American Idol title this Tuesday. A record 95 million votes were recorded after the semi-final show. Country crooner Scotty McCreery was the first to find out he had made it through followed by Lauren Alaina. McCreery and Alaina will face off Tuesday, with the 10th season Idol champion crowned on Wednesday. It will mark the youngest finale matchup in Idol history. Producers lowered the minimum age requirement to 15 years old this season, which allowed Alaina, who’s been compared to fourth season Idol winner Carrie Underwood, the chance to audition last year.
