They may be her little muffins but Tulisa may well be wishing she left the oven on after being completely outshone by Little Mix at the Key 103 Jingle Ball.

They may be her little muffins but Tulisa may well be wishing she left the oven on after being completely outshone by Little Mix at the Key 103 Jingle Ball.
Even without Perrie Edwards, the Little Mix girls turned up the volume with their raunchy outfits onstage in Manchester.
Newly slim Jesy Nelson shone as she gyrated onstage in fishnet tights, denim ripped shorts and a leopard print top, all topped off with lashings of red lipstick.

The 20-year-old threw herself into the performance pulling off a slick show with bandmates Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall as Perrie was in New York with boyfriend One Direction's Zayn Mailik.
But the Wings hitmakers may have to get used to not having Perrie around for the near future, as a spokesperson for the group has confirmed the violet-haired starlet has been ruled out of all Little Mix performances until further notice due to a 'recurring throat problem'.

The 19-year-old singer has been ruled out of the band's performance at the Capital FM Jingle Bell Ball on Saturday, and may not perform with them for the rest of December.

The Female Boss: Tulisa squeezes herself into a leather jacket

A Little Mix spokesperson said: 'Leigh-Anne, Jade and Jesy do not want to let down the fans coming to see them so will perform at the upcoming shows, including Capital FM's Jingle Bell Ball at the O2 this Saturday, without her until she is well enough to return.'

The group have slowly turned from pop princesses clad in Primark into a fully fledged girl band and their sleek look must not have gone unnoticed by former mentor Tulisa, who also performed in an all black ensemble.
But rather than look sophisticated Tulisa ended up looking decidedly High Street next to Little Mix in her too tight jeans, sleeveless leather jacket and wedged shoes.

Fashion fail: She gave it her best shot, but not many fashionistas were cheering along with Tulisa

Victory is sweet: Jesy Nelson looked fierce as she performs at Jingle Bell Ball, its just a shame Tulisa can't compete

Impressive: Tulisa's tattoo can clearly be seen as she opted for a sleeveless leather jacket

Instead of sashaying around the stage Tulisa opted for a more underground style of performance, putting her hands up in the air in the style of a football supporter at a winning match.
Perhaps the star was merely trying to boost sales of her flagging single Sight Of You, which isn't thought to even be in the top ten despite a performance on X Factor on Sunday.
The Female Boss may be in line for redundancy if midweek figures prove to be correct, The Sun reported her album had sold just 7,000 copies in the first two days, a miniscule number after being plugged on ITV prime time show X Factor.

Although Tulisa, 24, may not always get her style right on X Factor, her onstage outfits have taken a turn for the worse with her all black combination on stage at the Jingle Bell Ball looking out of place.
Speaking to MailOnline Tulisa revealed she was nervous about releasing her album, saying: 'I am really excited about the release of my first solo album.
'I'm also very nervous, it's kind of like two emotions and I'm either going to feel really extreme about one or the other when it comes out.

She's their stand-out player! Transsexual woman (aged FIFTY and 6ft 8ins tall) makes her debut on junior college basketball team

At 50-years-old, standing six-feet eight inches tall, weighing 220 pounds and covered in naval tattoos, Gabrielle Ludwig caused enormous waves when she made her college basketball debut for Santa Clara community college last week.
Born Robert John Ludwig, the former Desert Storm veteran is believed to be the first transsexual athlete to play college sports as both genders and as she stepped onto Contra Costa College gym, the Fremont resident towered at least a foot over team-mates 30-years her junior.
Having completed her transition from man to woman in July of this year, Gabbi as she is now known took to the court watched by her teenage daughter, Janelle, who has decided to give her the moniker of 'Maddy', a combination of mom and dad in recognition of her father's sex change.

Gabrielle Ludwig, 50, made her debut for Santa Clara community college last week and stands six-feet eight-inches and weighs 220 pounds

Supported by Santa Clara athletic director Mike Perez and coach Corey Cafferata, Gabi managed to get clearance to compete with players 30-years younger than her after they learned the California Community College Atheltic Association decided gender by birth certificate.
Having already played as a man in 1980, Gabi needed to petition a court and show medical confirmation that she had changed her sex - so on November 30th, an Alameda County Superior Court judge declared Gabrielle Monika Ludwig a woman and gave her a female birth certificate.

 

Answering claims that her size is an unfair advantage when playing basketball, Dale Murray, commissioner for the Coast Conference, which oversees Santa Clara College said he has seen little evidence of any advantage.
'She just happens to be a bit taller than everyone else,' said Murray.

'What if she was born a female and six-feet five-inches? She's a little older than other community college players, so that's probably to her disadvantage.'
Others are not as sure that the college basketball player should be allowed to continue.
'That's an awfully large woman and I'm not sure how to answer that because all sports have unique individuals in them,' said Logan McKechnie, an attorney and commissioner for the Central Valley Conference.
'Is it fair that all professional sports athletes have to face Peyton Manning each year?' he said. 'I don't think, frankly, fairness enters into it.'
Some draw inspiration from Gabbi, including Alexis Madayag- Thompson, who plays as guard alongside her and is deaf.
'I think it's great. It revolutionises sports a little bit to open-mindedness,' said Thompson.
Indeed, Gabi's girlfriend Maryann Pondevida, 42, from La Palma, said that her partner has every right to play as the others.
'If she's cleared to play, what's the problem?'
However, as always, some individuals have taken objection to what can be considered an unconventional player taking to the court.
'It ain't right,' said Ray Galli, 58, who watched the game with a friend whose daughter played on the opposition team.
'For one, she's 50-years-old and no.2...come on, these girls out here are young. Start your own league if you want to do that.
'I don't want to see a 50-year-old man in the locker room.
'I mean you're born a guy right? I'm not sure if all the parts are there or what.'

Training with Santa Clara team mates, Gabrielle began her basketball career as a man at college in 1980

Gabrielle Ludwig took to the court for the first time last week on December 1st and she is believed to be the first transsexual player to have competed in male and female basketball matches

Experiencing a 69-62 loss in her first game against College of the Siskiyous, Gabbi made three rebounds during the seven minutes she played on December 1st.
With two failed marriages behind her, one failed suicide attempt and one 19-year-old daughter who calls her 'Maddy', Gabbi is now living a happy life with her partner and her two young children.
Born Robert John Ludwig in Berlin, he moved to Long Island when he was nine and began to secretly cross dress into his mother's clothes at any opportunity he could.
'It was aspirin to a bad headache,' said Gabbi to USA Today.
Confused by his sexuality at the time and bullied at school for his effeminate manner at 15, Robert attempted suicide.
However, once puberty hit, he became a large man and began to realise that he was only attracted to women and then entered in 1984 into a nine-year stint in the Navy.
He traveled the world as an aviation anti-submarine warfare technician in Desert Storm and after the war he decided that he had been born into the wrong body and began the process of gender reassignment.

Beginning to take female hormones, he began to grow breasts much to the confusion of his wife of 11 years who he ultimately divorced from.
'I feel I betrayed her trust,' said Gabbi. 'That is a cross I have to bear the rest of my life.'
As the gulf between who he was and what he was widened, Gabbi began to suffer from deep depression.
'You look in the mirror and you have breasts and are developing a woman's body, and you have male genitalia,' Ludwig says. 'You kind of feel freakish. It's like you are stuck in the abyss.'
The Internet helped him discover he was not alone and that he suffered from gender identity disphoria.
Changing his identity in January 2007 from John to Gabbi, the final sex change operation which confirmed Gabbi as a transsexual took place in July 2012.
The entire cost for the operation was over $130,000 - all paid for on insurance - and now with her first basketball game she is beginning to find the happiness that has eluded her for so long.
'Through camaraderie, we kind of figure out where the hell we are in life … ' Ludwig says. 'We as human beings, we just want to be loved.'

Scarlett's French kiss: Johansson and new boyfriend Romain Dauriac take their love to streets of New York

Scarlett Johansson shares a tender morning kiss with her new man as they leave their New York hotel for breakfast on Wednesday.
The 27-year-old actress is seen here wrapping her arms around French journalist Romain Dauric, before leaning in for a smooch.
After weeks of keeping things low-key, it seems Scarlett is now feeling ready to go public with her new 30-year-old lover.

Je t'aime: Scarlett Johansson and her French lover Romain Dauric share a sweet kiss on the streets of New York on Wednesday

There was certainly nothing coy about their display yesterday as they put on an affectionate show the morning after dining out together in the Big Apple.
Like a scene from a movie, Scarlett and Romain stopped in the middle of the street and flung themselves at each other, apparently overcome with a flutter of butterflies.
Last month MailOnline revealed the pair were dating, just weeks after Scarlett's split from from advertising executive Nate Naylor.

Early risers: The couple were spotted leaving their hotel before venturing out into the Big Apple for breakfast

Casual style: Scarlett wore jogging bottoms and trainers, matching her boyfriend's style with a puffer jacket and shades

The couple are believed to have met through mutual friends and have been spotted together at clubs and bars in Paris and New York over recent months.
Last month, Romain waited in the wings as Scarlett took to the red carpet in New York for the premiere of her Hitchcock movie, before whisking her off to dinner.
For their outing on Wednesday, both opted for casual attire and matching style puffer jackets.
Scarlett completed her day-time attire with jogging bottoms and scarped her hair back into bun, hiding her make-up free face under a pair of shades.

Affectionate: Scarlett places a hand on Romain's back pocket as they stopped to share a tender moment

Blossoming romance: The couple have been quietly dating for the past few weeks after being introduced through friends

Spring in their step: The couple walk down the steps of their hotel after dining out in the city the night before

Romain is the former editor of French magazine Clark which specialised in underground French urban art, and is the current manager of a creative agency.
The couple are both friends of French tattoo artist Fuzi, who earlier this month tattooed Scarlett with a horse shoe and the message 'Lucky You', on her rib cage, which she proudly showed off.
While Romain is believed to have plumped for a tattoo which reads Lost Illusions.
Scarlett split from Ryan Reynolds in December 2010 after a two-year marriage. He is now married to Blake Lively.

What baggage? Scarlett toted two designers back over each shoulder for her outing

Girl next door: The Hitchcock actress wore her hair tied back in a loose bun

She had been dating New York ad exec Nate Naylor for the past year.
But a source told People magazine on October 15 - the same day that the Lost in Translation star was first pictured in New York with Romain - 'She broke up with him last week.
'He's pretty upset, but the writing was on the wall. A lot of people were surprised it lasted this long.'
Speaking to Vogue in April, Scarlett said she was focused on enjoying her work and life.
'It's just been a good time. I've had peace. Relative peace," she said at the time. "I just want to work on things that are really hard and when I'm not working on things that are really hard, I want to hang out with people I like to be with and that's it.'

Dinner date: On Tuesday night the couple were seen leaving their hotel and headed out for a romantic dinner
