Living life in the fast lane: Vanessa Hudgens shines in white glitzy dress as she attends Monaco Grand Prix fashion show

A few years ago she was best-known as the star of Disney films but these days Vanessa Hudgens is a mature and glamorous young woman.
The 23-year-old is clearly getting used to the jet-set lifestyle and looked radiant as she attended a fashion show in Monaco yesterday.
The U.S. star was a guest of honour at the Amber Lounge event in Monte Carlo ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix.

Wearing a floor-length white dress, Hudgens literally shimmered as she posed with her hand on her hip.
The sequinned garment featured spaghetti straps and the brunette actress wore it with a simple gold bangle and a butterfly ring.
With her dark hair draped over her right shoulder, Hudgens grinned for the cameras before making her way inside where she gave a speech in front of the star-studded audience.

Watching the High School Musical star was socialite sisters Tamara Ecclestone and her married sister Petra.
Tamara showed off her curves in a figure-hugging light gold dress which she wore with spiked Louboutin shoes.
The brunette carried a glitzy Union Jack clutch bag and cosied up to her blonde sibling as they posed for photos.

Petra also bared her legs in a long-sleeved embellished dress which she teamed with gold stilettos.
She, too, carried a patriotic clutch bag and tried her best to channel the mean and moody look for the cameras.
Joining the sisters was Tamara's boyfriend Omar Khyami who wore a black shirt with blue faded jeans.

Their father - and Formula One supremo - Bernie was also in attendance and arrived with his dark-haired fiancée Fabiana Flosi on his arm.
Another couple who appeared to be smitten with one another was Skins star Nicholas Hoult and his girlfriend Jennifer Lawrence.
The Hunger Games star looked fantastic in a bright red one-shoulder dress which she wore with gold strapped heels.
Hoult looked rather smart in black trousers and a light blue shirt as he stayed close to his actress girlfriend.

The famous faces found themselves in Royal company at the fashionable event as not only did Prince Albert II of Monaco show up with his wife Princess Charlene, but so did Sophie, Countess of Wessex.
The 47-year-old wore a knee-length champagne-coloured dress as she posed with various important guests and was later seen enjoying the fashion show from her seat.

However, two people who didn't see the models strut down the catwalk was Nicole Scherzinger and her beau Lewis Hamilton.
The U.S. singer is obviously in Monaco to support her racing driver boyfriend, and were seen walking around outside the event with the former Pussycat Doll showing off her enviable figure in a slinky black dress and sparkly heels.

Rihanna was possibly making a reference to smoking cannabis – something she often does on her Twitter page.
The star jetted into Los Angeles from London earlier this week and is no doubt enjoying catching up on some rest.
During her time in London over the past few weeks, Rihanna was seen at countless events and parties - as well as jetting back and forward to various locations promoting her movie debut Battleship.

But the singer did admit recently that sticking to such a hectic schedule was beginning to take its toll on her.
She said: 'One morning last November I woke up and started crying so hard.
'If I cry, it's because I'm very angry and I can't do anything about it because I've run into a dead end. That's when the tears would come down.'

But he obviously wanted to get to work promoting the Andrew Dominick film, in which he plays a contract killer alongside stars including Scoot McNairy, Ray Liotta, Vince Curatola, and Ben Mendelson.
Although Brad said he wasn't troubled by violence in movies.
The actor was speaking at a press conference after the world premiere screening of the film and said that violence is an accepted part of the gangster world and noted that violence goes hand in hand with crime.
Brad said he would have little problem with his children watching violent movies when they're older.

'I would find playing a racist more unsettling than playing someone who shoots someone in the face', Brad declared.
'We live in such a violent world' he added and then asked people who love hamburgers to think about the killing involved in creating that burger. 'I don't see a world without violence', he added.
The film Killing Them Softly suggests that murder in a gangland setting is acceptable.
One of the movie's key moments has Brad and a Mob lawyer, played by Richard Jenkins, discussing the execution of some robbers as a simple business transaction.

Indeed one line in the film is sure to become much quoted as Brad's character says to Richard: 'America's not a country, it's just a business'.
It uses the gangster genre, and humour, to make larger points, not always successfully, about the state of the economy.
'We were certainly at the apex of the mortgage loan debacle,' Brad said on the beginning of the project. 'I felt that I was reading a gangster film and it wasn't until the very end that it coalesced for me as far what the direction of the film is pointing to overall - that this microcosm is actually saying something about the macro world.'

He added that he doesn't intend Killing Them Softly, which is scheduled for release this September, to be read as his views or to be fodder for the upcoming election season.
'I always feel that crime films are about capitalism,' said Dominik, the director of The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.
'It's the only genre where it's perfectly accepted for all the characters to be motivated by a desire for money only.'

A castle fit for the Queen of Pop! Celine Dion puts her private island Quebec chateau on sale for a whopping $29.5 million

She's sold over 200 million albums worldwide and is one of the highest-paid female performers in history.

But apparently having homes on two private islands has become one too many for Canadian singer Celine Dion.

The 44-year-old songstress has decided to unload her French Normandy-style, four-story chateau in Gagnon -- complete with furnishings and artwork -- for $29.5 million, which will make it one of the five most expensive residences in Canada.

According to her 70-year-old husband René Angelil, the sale comes thanks to Celine's three-year residency at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, and their US-based children, 11-year-old René-Charles and 19-month-old twins, Nelson and Eddie.

'We are mostly in Florida, René-Charles goes to school here,' René told TVNZ, referring to the pair's other island property, a mansion on Jupiter Island with a water park.
'And of course there are commitments in Vegas because of Celine.'

The gated island, located roughly 15 minutes from downtown Montreal, boasts a private bridge, security station, outdoor swimming pool, game room, wine cellar with tasting room, three living rooms, a wood-paneled library, and double master suites.

Located in the sleepy Mille Îles River, Gagnon is a former mining town in East-central Quebec just in the Laval region.

Just under 20 acres, the towering castle has 24,000 square feet of living space.

Dion and her family moved into the property in 2001 after 300 people refurbished and expanded the $8 million property over a three-year reconstruction period.

During Christmas time, Celine would turn their mansion into a glittering winter wonderland, even placing two high toy soldiers at the gates.

The water around the island is too shallow for boats to move through, which helps keep trespassers and tourists at bay as does the network of security cameras.

Despite the precautions, a 41-year-old stalker was arrested outside the property in 2009 for pressing the intercom at the mansion's front gate.

Sotheby's International Realty in Quebec broker Joseph Montanaro will handle the sale of the property.
Celine and her husband aren't planning to leave Canada completely as they are keeping their more modest $2 million country chalet in Notre Dame de la Merci in Quebec.

The best-selling Canadian artist with the five-octave vocal range grew up the youngest of 14 children in a poverty-stricken home in Quebec.

Dion first met her husband and manager in 1980, when she was 12 and he was 38, after she and her mother sent him a demo tape of a song they had written.

René mortgaged his home to finance Celine's first record.

Celine's hit song 'It’s All Coming Back To Me Now' was prominently featured on an episode of Glee this past week.

The brunette star had to postpone her Las Vegas shows from March to June when doctors diagnosed her with a viral illness and weakness in her right vocal cord.

Her new show of hit songs, designed exclusively for The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, features 31 musicians in a full orchestra and band.

The casino spent an eye-watering $95 million building the special Colosseum venue for her in 2003.

It was specially equipped with a humidifier to protect the singing diva's voice. Tickets for the in-demand show in sell for up to $250 each, and it regularly sells out.
