R&B recording artist Cassie Ventura - known simply as Cassie - has stripped down for a raunchy photoshoot with Esquire magazine.

But the songstress, rumoured to be dating her manager, Shake Ya Tailfeather rapper P Diddy, was sure to add some humour into the mix, as she promoted her new mixtape, RockaByeBaby, with a fun interview with the magazine.

Bare-ly covered: the bold singer revealed more than a hint of side boob in one flattering shot

The 28-year-old modeled in a number of outfits for the magazine, all of which revealed far more skin than the fashionista has in the past.

First she donned a very high-cut translucent white leotard, revealing the entirety of her legs and thighs but modestly covering her arms.

The stunning singer's tattoo of a star on her left upper thigh was on show, as was side-shaved hairstyle she's famous for.

Stepping it up: Cassie completely nailed a recent shoot for Esquire to promote her new mixtape - RockaByeBaby - and it all started with this translucent leotard

The next look involved black boy-leg underwear over the top of a gold leotard with a slit down the middle revealing the majority of her stomach.

When the starlet turned to the side in the same outfit, she showed off a serious amount of side boob as well as her completely bare back.

Another shot had Cassie kneel on a chair wearing heels so high it's doubtful they were even made for walking.

She knows how to work it: Cassie has also just been named as the face for Forever 21's Summer 2013 collection

The mixtape features tracks with Rick Ross ('Numb') and Wiz Khalifa ('Paradise'), both of which were released first to promote the record.

When Esquire asked why she goes simply by her first name, her response was: 'I've been Cassie my whole life,' adding that 'People would meet me and say, 'What's your stage name?' 'Well, Cassie.''

But the down-to-earth Connecticut local joked, 'It's not like I'm Madonna'.

Heels for days! Lucky she had that chair to lean on, as those shoes don't look easy

As for the romance between Cassie and P-Diddy, the pair have managed to keep the details quite private, but it is widely acknowledged that they are a couple.

'I miss him', Cassie said recently when she uploaded a photo to Instagram of the pair.

To add to her busy schedule, the star has also just been signed on as the face of the Summer 2013 Forever 21 collection.

You wanna mess with me? The edgy songstress struck some bold poses for the magazine, showing off her toned tummy

RockAByeBaby: Cassie's new mixtape was released in April and features the likes of Rick Ross and Wiz Khalifa

Wink wink, nudge nudge! Despite keeping things low profile, Cassie captioned this photo of her and P Diddy with the words 'Miss him' in late April of this year

If Aliki Chrysochou wins BGT, she’ll marry boyfriend who stood by her during brain illness

Aliki Chrysochou reveals her plan to wed on romantic

Audition ... Aliki Chrysochou

Published: 21st May 2013

BRITAIN’S Got Talent star Aliki Chrysochou says if she wins the show she will celebrate by marrying her long-term fiancé.

The blonde stunner met partner Alex while she was recovering from deadly brain bug encephalitis and says a romantic wedding on a Greek paradise island would be the perfect way to follow winning the ITV show’s final next month.

She told TV Biz: “Alex and I have been together for nine years. If I won Britain’s Got Talent I’d love to go and get married on one of the Greek islands.

“That’s where my grandparents are from and a wedding there would be wonderful. Alex has always been very supportive of me. He’s so excited about me being on Britain’s Got Talent.” Aliki, who won a standing ovation for her version of Evanescence’s Bring Me To Life on Saturday, added: “Alex and I met through my brother, Fotis — they were friends and used to play basketball together.

“Alex is a singer/songwriter and he knew I sang, so he asked me to perform one of his songs and things went from there.

“That was back in 2004 and I was still recovering from encephalitis. I was back at university in Sheffield but I was still on medication.

“Alex used to come to doctor’s appointments with me and he played a big part in helping me get my confidence back.

“I don’t think I could have got through it without him.”

Smiles better ... Aliki Chrysochou beat brain bug to be on BGT

Aliki told the BGT judges at her audition that she had to rebuild her life from scratch after battling the brain disease, which left her temporarily unable to speak, read, write or walk.

And hospital doctors told her horrified parents to expect the worst after Aliki, then aged 19, failed to respond to treatment for six weeks.

Aliki told how when the disease first hit, doctors thought she was just worn out from studying for her music degree at Sheffield University.

But it soon became clear her symptoms were far more serious — and had been triggered by inflammation of the brain. She said: “I would go to brush my teeth and have no idea how to do it. When I poured a cup of tea, I’d let the boiling water spill and burn my hand.

“I can remember going for a coffee with friends and not being able to say a single word. It was like a switch had been turned off in my brain.”

As Aliki’s symptoms worsened, doctors referred her to London’s National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery for treatment.

It took six weeks before she could begin to communicate with her worried parents, who had kept a constant vigil by their daughter’s bedside.

Tearful ... Aliki Chrysochou is emotional after telling the judges about her illness

She explained: “My mum Debbie was in the hospital one night and when she started singing to me, I hummed along with the song.

“It was the first time I had responded to her since I was taken into the hospital. From that point on I began to recover but it was a slow process.

“I had to learn to read again using an ABC book for one-year-olds and my brother would give me simple sums — such as one plus one — to complete.

“Gradually I made progress and I was able to go back to university one year after I caught the illness. I graduated two years later, in 2005.”

Aliki had to take medication for a long time but has now fully recovered. The singer — who was praised by Simon Cowell for her “natural talent” — now works as a music teacher, splitting her time between London and Cyprus. And she told how her struggle has inspired her to aim high: “I definitely think what happened to me has made me more ambitious.

“I believe that the day you realise you are going to die is the day you start living and I know now to make the most of every moment I have.

Rear of the Year History and past winners

The very first ‘Rear of the Year’ award was presented in 1976 to Barbara Windsor but it was a further five years before the award became an annual event with a presentation to actress Felicity Kendal in 1981.

Rock singer Suzi Quatro won the award in 1982 and three singers followed her to win the title – Lulu in 1983, Elaine Paige in 1984 and Lynsey de Paul in 1985.

The first award to a male celebrity was in 1986 when comedian Michael Barrymore joined Anneka Rice in the media spotlight.

Actresses Anita Dobson and Su Pollard won the title in 1987 and 1988 respectively but, in 1990, the ‘Rear of the Year’ went to the first Royal on the growing list of celebrities when Marina Ogilvy, the daughter of Princess Alexandra, walked away with the title.

Following a two year’s break in the presentations and a major change of format, Ulrika Jonsson’s rear asset took the title in 1992, followed by actress Sarah Lancashire in 1993. Mandy Smith and Richard Fairbrass were joint winners in 1994, after which the competition switched to a mid Summer format in 1996 with actress Tracy Shaw receiving the public vote.

Since then the ‘Rear of the Year’ award has been presented each and every year to both a male and female celebrity.

1997 Melinda Messenger & Gary Barlow 1998 Carol Smillie & Frank Skinner 1999Denise van Outen & Robbie Williams 2000 Jane Danson & Graham Norton 2001 Claire Sweeney & John Altman 2002 Charlotte Church & Scott Wright 2003 Natasha Hamilton & Ronan Keating 2004 Alex Best & Aled Haydn-Jones 2005 Nell McAndrew & Will Young

The 19th Century bustle, worn with a tight-fitting corset, first focussed attention on the exaggerated

but fashionable female rear and, as they say, it’s never looked back.

1940’s and 50’s Hollywood film stars Betty Grable, Marilyn Monroe, and Jane Russell then popularised the well-rounded rear of the period, quickly reversed in the 1960’s by a neater, more boyish rear, typified by top models of the decade Jean ‘The Shrimp’ Shrimpton and ‘Twiggy’.

The 1970’s and 80’s brought with them a gradual increase in the size of the fashionable rear until the 1990’s when health and fitness became the major fashion influence – slimming down the general rear ‘look’ once again.

Following the 2012 Olympics, the fashionable rears of both men and women have become more toned as a result of specific exercise regimes to trim the gluteus maximus – the largest and most superficial of the buttock muscles – to resemble the rears of the Olympic Gold Medal celebrities.

The rear will probably always exert a major influence on fashion and the way men and women want to look – which is why the annual ‘Rear of the Year’ awards are a clear and positive indicator of the very latest trends in body shape.

No wonder you caught his eye! Model Nina Agdal shows off the bikini body that landed her Adam Levine

Well she is certainly in keeping of Adam Levine's taste.

In new photographs released of Sports Illustrated model Nina Agdal it is clear to see why the 21-year-old has become the object of The Voice judge's affections.

The shots reveal that Danish brunette ticks all of the Maroon 5 frontman's boxes when it comes to his leading ladies - she's young, she's beautiful, she's foreign and most importantly, she's a bikini model.

The new model: Adam Levine has reportedly been 'having fun' dating Sports Illustrated model Nina Agdal since early spring

As if trying to be a rock and roll cliche, the singer almost solely dates models - especially those found in a Victoria's Secret catalog.

According to old Us Weekly, Adam has reportedly been 'having fun' dating the latest model on his arm.

A source lose to the Maroon 5 frontman told the magazine: 'It's still new.'

Can you blame him? Stunning new shots for Colombia-based Maaji Swimwear show Nina is a model with a big future

The pair have reportedly being seeing each other since early spring.

And no wonder Adam has been enjoying his time dating the model - in the bikini shoot it is obvious her figure is what men write music about.

Modelling for Colombia-based Maaji Swimwear Nina is a model with a big future in the nautical but nice 2013 Seaside Reverie collection.

Dangerous curves ahead: Showing that she is more than just a skinny model, Nina playfully twisted her figure around putting on display her ample curves, with her barely there bikini revealing off her toned behind

Wearing her hair in tight waves, the 21-year-old immediately grabs people's attention confidently starring down the lens of the camera in patterned bikinis.

Showing that she is more than just a skinny model, in one shot Nina playfully twists her figure around putting on display her ample curves, with her barely there bikini revealing off her toned behind.

So stunning is the Denmark-born model, that she even managed to smoulder while wearing the not always faltering, and far more covered up, monokini.

No holding her back: Nina even managed to smoulder while wearing the not always faltering, and far more covered up, monokini

Not to mention she made the very Salvador Dali inspired look of having a lobster attached to her head look sexy.

A non-bikini clad Nina was spotted at watching her boyfriend at work recently on the set of The Voice.

'[Nina's] hair was up in a bun and she wore a low-cut, white sleeveless top and dark jeans,' an audience member told the magazine. 

Pose perfect: Wearing her hair in tight waves, the 21-year-old immediately grabs people's attention confidently starring down the lens of the camera in patterned bikinis

'She was watching the show on a monitor with others backstage.'

No doubt having the model by his side has been helpful after Adam came under fire for being unpatriotic after he said he hated America during the show on Tuesday.

'I hate this country,' the singer remarked when viewers voted two of his contestants off The Voice last night.

He later said he was saying it frustration and jest.

'It's still new': The 34-year-old rocker further fueled speculation he was seeing the Danish 21-year-old when she was recently spotted on the set of The Voice

His newest lady has been making headlines of her own, after the five-foot-nine stunner recently accompanied high school senior Jake Davidson's prom after Kate Upton couldn't make it.

Nina starred in the Carl's Jr. Super Bowl advert as well as campaigns for Billabong, Macy's, and Frederick's of Hollywood.

Her 34-year-old rocker only split with Victoria's Secret model Behati Prinsloo in March after nearly a year together.

The womanising singer has also reportedly romanced pop star Jessica Simpson, tennis player Maria Sharapova, German model Janine Habeck, and VS models Angela Bellotte and Anne Vyalitsyna.

Few would disagree that Welsh dance troupe Pre Skool are one of the cutest acts to hit Britain's Got Talent for quite some time.

The 12-strong group were ecstatic when they managed to win a place in this year's grand final after winning the most public votes after first place, vocal group Luminites.

The youngsters, made up of children aged five to eight, screamed in delight as Simon Cowell took it to public vote after they were in the top two with solo dancer Joseph Hall.

Cute: Welsh dance troupe Pre Skool perform their high-energy routine during the 3rd semi-final of Britain's Got Talent

The group from Port Talbot are made up of the younger siblings of Nu Sxool - who ended up in the final last year.

The energetic troupe were the fourth to perform during Thursday night's third semi-final, dancing to a medley of tracks, including hosts Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly's 1990s hit Let's Get Ready To Rumble.

David Walliams said: 'Fantastic. Normally in a dance group, you have a star dancer, but in this group you're all stars.'

High energy! Young dance troupe Pre Skool ended up progressing after judges took it to the public vote

Alesha Dixon was won over: 'You guys are so cute. I love you. You've worked so hard and it's paid off.'

Amanda Holden managed to luck out when she declared before the results: 'Best act of the night so far. If you're not in the final, I will kiss Simon Cowell.'

Responding to criticism some of the younger contestants can handle the pressure and disappointment of not progressing, Simon joked the children were actually middle-aged 'midgets'.

Scream and shout: Young dance troupe Pre Skool performed to a medley of hits 

It's Luminites and Pre Skool in the final as they win the most...

He said: 'These are all 45 year old midgets. I love your personalities and your sense of fun. It was the best act of the night so far.'

When Dec how long they had spent perfecting their routine, one of the children responded: 'A year!' before changing her mind to a week.

In the results show later that night, David and Simon opted for Pre Skool to progress, while Amanda and Alesha chose 35-year-old Joseph.

Making a song and dance: Two of the young dancers kick off the fast-paced medley

David enthused: 'This is so hard. They both came out with such huge attack and energy and both gave such fantastic performances. I'm gonna say Pre Skool.'

Simon looked terrified of disappointing the eager faces of Pre Skool before him when he was the last judge to vote.

Let's dance! The troupe wore school uniforms and sparkly trainers

He said: 'Joseph you were fantastic, Pre Skool you were amazing. I really am torn on this. I'm gonna take it to the public and vote for Pre Skool.'

Fortunately for Pre Skool, they received more votes than Joseph so will now appear at the grand final on June 8.

Calming them down: Anthony McParlin and Declan Donnelly managed to keep control of the excited children

Mac's the way! Laura Whitmore makes a traditional British summer statement in a stylish overcoat

They say the Mac is the ultimate British summer fashion accessory - lightweight, elegant, and easy to pop on when the inevitable summer showers pour down.

However Irish television presenter Laura Whitmore made the simple wardrobe staple look ultra sexy as she stepped out wearing the classic piece.

With her coat wrapped around her petite frame, the 28-year-old MTV star looked achingly chic as she departed ITV's studios in London on Friday.

Irish beauty: Laura Whitmore cut a fine figure as she left the ITV studios on Friday in a chic Mac overcoat

The pretty blonde showed off her impressive pins as she hot-footed it from the TV studios' Southbank base in a pair of high heels.

Her light summer shirt was visible at the top of her coat's neckline, but the Mac extended down to cover her short white skirt, allowing her legs to take all the attention.

The cute TV star was glowing as she left the studios after discussing music on the Lorraine show in the morning.

Hot legs: The MTV presenter showed off her perfect pins as she wore a short skirt and high heels

I've got to run: The pretty blonde had to dash to an interview with pop boys Union J

Seriously, I've got to go: Laura was keen to meet the former X Factor contestants for a recorded chat

But there was no time to waste, as she had to make a mad-dash across town to interview hot new pop stars, Union J.

'Now off to @mtvuk to host @mtvuknews with @unionJworld' Laura tweeted after she darted off from the studio.

The star had livened up the Lorraine show panel at ITV as she sat on the sofa earlier in the morning to dispense her music knowledge.

She was a picture of beauty as she appeared on the early morning show in her elegant outfit against the garish background of the talk show.

It has been a great week in the style stakes for Laura as she attended an Esquire party on Wednesday in a white silk outift.

Despite the British weather being traditionally cold with light showers, the Irish babe has been showing off her smooth legs in short cut outfits.

Laughs on Lorraine: The presenter had a lot of fun on the live morning chat show

However the presenter underestimated her own star power at the event as she made something of a faux pas with actor-turned-rock-star Jared Leto.

'Introducing myself to Jared Leto again and him replying 'yea you interviewed me before' #cringe' she tweeted, highlighting an awkward encounter with the 30 Second's To Mars star.

Laura was amongst the guest that attended the exclusive bash for the high-end men's magazine at Somerset House.

Alesha Dixon rocks an eye-wateringly short strapless minidress at BGT live semi-finals... as Amanda Holden covers up

The thigh's the limit! Alesha Dixon rocks an eye-wateringly short strapless minidress at BGT live semi-finals... as Amanda Holden covers up in asymmetric metallic number

She's already made an impact in the first two Britain's Got Talent live semi-finals by parading her impressive pins in a series of tiny dresses.

But Alesha Dixon took her skimpy sartorial statements to a whole new level on Thursday night when she rocked a positively eye-wateringly short strapless minidress. 

The 34-year-old singer made sure she was the centre of attention as she took to the stage alongside co-judges Amanda Holden, Simon Cowell and David Walliams in the tiny multi-coloured printed number by Alexander McQueen, which barely protected her modesty.

Battling it out: Alesha Dixon rocked an eye-wateringly short strapless minidress at the Britain's Got Talent live semi-finals on Thursday night, while co-judge Amanda Holden went for a fashion-forward metallic pencil dress

Featuring an asymmetric jagged hem and a flattering sweetheart neckline, the eye-catching dress ensured the BGT judge commended attention as she showed off her fabulous figure for all to see.

Alesha added even more height to her statuesque frame with a pair of tan lace-up gladiator sandal-style heels, while adorning her decolletage with a bronze-coloured statement necklace. 

The singer completed her look by wearing her raven black locks in voluminous curls, while complementing her naturally stunning looks with striking bronze make-up. 

A brave choice: Alesha's sexy multi-coloured printed number by Alexander McQueen certainly ensured she was the centre of attention

Plenty to smile about: Both female BGT judges looked great in their very different dresses as they prepared for the third live semi-final

While Alesha stole the show on the Britain's Got Talent stage, Amanda certainly gave her co-judge a run for her money in a fashion-forward metallic pencil dress by Jaton Couture.

Featuring a knee-length asymmetric hemline and a chic pussy-bow collar, the golden gown ensured the 42-year-old star made a style statement of her very own as the straight-talking quartet prepared to watch the acts battle it out for a coveted place in the ITV1 show's final. 

In spite of her incredible figure, Alesha has always maintained she doesn't obsess over her weight, and would rather enjoy life than constantly worry about piling on the pounds. 

Going for gold! Amanda made a style statement in a fashion-forward metallic pencil dress by Jaton Couture, featuring a knee-length asymmetric hemline and a chic pussy-bow collar

Style statement: Amanda injected a pop of colour to her ensemble with a pair of neon green stiletto heels

She previously told Zest magazine: 'I don't obsess over weight, I don't own scales. It is about being strong and having a healthy heart.

'I'm never going to have Jessica Ennis' stomach - because I love my carbs and I love my food, but I go by how I feel.

'I make sure that I get my exercise in when I can, I am conscious about what I eat, but I treat myself when I want to.

Third time lucky: Amanda and Alesha joined fellow judges Simon Cowell and David Walliams for the third BGT semi-final

Dapper dude: Simon looked slick in a navy blazer, crisp white shirt and jeans as he saluted the audience

'That keeps me happy and that's how I live my life, in a balanced way. It is about being strong and healthy - that is one billion times more important than being skinny.'

Thursday night's show will see dance troupes Freelusion and Pre Skool, singers Robbie Kennedy and Rosie O'Sullivan, illusionist Stevie Pink, juggler Thomas Bounce, rapper MC boy, vocal group Luminites and solo dancer Joseph Hall battle it out for a place in the BGT final on June 8.

Straight talking: The judges saw a total of seven acts battle it out in the hope of progressing to the BGT final on June 8
