Eva Mendes enlists her large dog for protection after she is forced to get a restraining order against a stalker

By DEBBIE EMERY

Guard dog: Eva Mendes' dog, Hugo, stayed close to her side as the pair walked in West Hollywood yesterday


You can't blame Eva Mendes for sticking close to her large dog after a crazed fan turned up on her doorstep last month.

The Other Guys star has obtained a temporary restraining order against the New York man who, according to her filing, falsely believes that he has a relationship with the actress and thinks she is 'willing to die for him.'

After stalking her since 2008, the obsessed fan turned up at Mendes' home on May 31, prompting the 37-year-old actress to take legal action, and up her canine security.


Showing the strain: Mendes appeared tired as she after a stressful week of legal drama in which she filed a restraining order against a stalker


Mendes claims that John C. Luna, 39, of Melville, New York, has been harassing her for the past three years with both notes and audio recordings.

One such message is from 2009 in which he apparently talked about moving to California to find her, reported U.S. entertainment website E! Online.


Watchful eye: Hugo, a Belgian Malinois, is described by his movie star owner as, 'a really sweet attack dog.'


In the legal filing, Mendes states: 'As a result of Mr. Luna's conduct directed at me...including references in a letter that he knows I am willing to die for him, and his showing up at my house on May 31st, 2011, looking for me, I am in constant fear.'

Luna has been ordered to stay at least 100 yards away from the actress, her home, her car and anywhere she might be working. The case will go to court on June 20.

Oops... Glamour model Nicola McLean's cropped T-shirt exposes a little too much flesh

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Fashion faux pas: Nicola McLean perhaps should have reconsidered her cropped vest before she stepped out in London today


She made her name by posing half-naked for various mens' magazines.

So it was hardly a surprise to see Nicola McLean wearing an outfit that flashes a healthy portion of flesh while out in London.

However the glamour model may regret wearing such a short, cropped vest after seeing these pictures.


Stretch marks: The glamour model has loose skin on her midriff following two pregnancies


The 27-year-old, who gave birth to her second child Striker last March, exposed her stretch marks with the revealing top - a faux pas which she probably hadn't anticipated.

Although a quick look in the mirror before she headed out would've put paid to that.
The model teamed her grey vest with a pair of camouflage trousers, a black cardigan and flip flops.


Should have brought an umbrella: Nicola got caught in a sudden downpour and had to return to her car soaked to the skin


She spent the day out with her husband, Walsall footballer Tom Williams and their son Striker.

The couple got caught in a sudden downpour and returned to their car soaked by the rain.

Regardless of her erroneous fashion choice, Nicola looked a lot healthier than she has done since the birth of her second son.

Toned: Kara showed off her stunning figure in a pair of skin tight leather trousers and a satin top

By JODY THOMPSON

Making a point: The star was in incredible shape for her appearance on the live final of the show


It wasn't only the finalists who were left breathless on the So You Think You Can Dance live final on BBC1 tonight.

Viewers at home were left gasping when Jennifer Lopez gave a sizzling live performance in a glittery catsuit that was so lowcut is showed off her bra - and so tight it revealed every inch of her famous rear.

The 41-year-old star was performing her recent No. 1 single On The Floor on the show, ahead of her appearance tomorrow on the bill at Capital Radio's Summertime Ball.

To a standing ovation from judges Sisco Gomez, Louise Redknapp, Nigel Lythgoe and Arlene Phillips, host Cat Deeley was almost speechless before paying tribute to the star's performance with a simple: 'The one and only Jennifer Lopez!'

Having been told the result from Cat, all he could exclaim was: 'I just feel amazing, it's amazing!

'I'm speechless. It's been the best thing I've ever done in my life.'

Cat didn't too badly herself in the style stakes, wearing a tiny tight sequined red mini dress.

The winner of the show meanwhile was tap dancer Matt Flint, who landed the £50,000 prize and the chance to dance onstage in Hollywood.

He had managed to stay out of the bottom two throughout the show.

Despite basing herself in London for much of the past two decades, Kylie says she could never choose between her adopted and native homes.


Old favourite: Kylie was first seen wearing the coat last winter in London


'If it had to choose to be the other side of the world and that was it, I don't know if I could do that,' she said.

'My life is on both sides of the world, travel is the way it is at the moment.'

Earlier this week, the star was greeted with a flashmob of fans singing I Should Be So Lucky to her as she arrived at Sydney's Wildfire restaurant, where she played a surprise semi-acoustic set, which you can watch below.

Earlier, Lily had looked radiant as she arrived at St James church in Cranham giving fans a first glimpse of her Chanel wedding dress.

Looking dapper: Sam looked extremely smart in a navy suit and a slick haircut as he and Lily shared a joke as they made their way to their car


While the lace dress nipped in her waist it also boasted a fishtail skirt and Lily was wearing an elaborate lace headdress with a flower detail on the side of her veil.
