You only turn 30 once, but that hasn’t stopped Kim Kardashian from blowing out the candles on her cake four times to celebrate the milestone.

The reality star finally brought her celebrations to an end Friday night with a fourth — and final, she claims — bash in her honour after an epic week of partying in three different cities.

Her last evening of birthday fun was in itself a double event. Kim dazzled on the red carpet of a charity event at Cipriani, New York in a strapless fishtail gown by Zac Posen and jaw-dropping emerald and diamond necklace.

After attending the Angel Ball, the curvaceous beauty changed into another fishtail gown for a private party for just a select group of friends on a luxury yacht in New York harbour.

She tweeted en route: ‘Just left the Angel Ball now time for a wardrobe change before my bday bash on the yacht!’

Her second outfit of the evening was a similar to the earlier look, but the sparkly material wasn’t quite as flattering on her bombshell hourglass figure.

Kim partied with her close-knit group of friends and family, and obviously enjoyed the private affair as much as her over-the-top nightclub events earlier in the week, and wrote on Twitter on Friday morning: ‘A girl couldn’t ask for better friends! I seriously love my friends! Thank you everyone who celebrated with me tonight! I love you so much!’

Mariah Carey launches Christmas album… still mum about ‘pregnancy’

Mariah Carey showed off her new music and new curves last night as she showcased her second Christmas album Merry Christmas II You in New York.

The singer was at the event with husband Nick Cannon, 30, who looked delighted to be standing up on stage with his wife.

And in her tight blue dress and black heels, the singer looked more voluptuous than ever.

With her blonde hair down around her shoulders, the 40-year-old couldn’t hide how much fuller her face has become over the past couple of months.

The Honey star looked anything but shy though, looking her usual confident self as she smiled and joked with the crowd.

Despite constant reports that Mariah’s weight gain is because she’s pregnant with her first child, neither she not Cannon will confirm or deny anything.

Frail and gaunt Michael Douglas ‘responding well’ to treatment

He has remained defiant throughout his battle with throat cancer.

But Michael Douglas couldn’t disguise the effect it has taken on his health as he strolled through New York on Friday.

The 66-year-old actor looked gaunt and pale as he accompanied his daughter Carys, seven, to school.

It was three weeks ago that his wife Catherine Zeta-Jones cut short her trip to Britain and announced she was pulling out of a film in order to look after the star.

It prompted fears that his health had worsened after she initially claimed that she intended to remain in Wales to watch the Ryder Cup tournament at the start of October. However, friends of the star last night insisted that despite his frail appearance, he was responding well to treatment.
