From the May Fair to Antigua: Maria Fowler sunbathes in strapless bikini to work on her real tan rather than one from a bottle

It’s certainly a hard life, gallivanting from Nobu to the May Fair to Antigua.

And Maria Fowler couldn’t wipe the grin from her face soaking up the sunshine in the Caribbean.

The former TOWIE beauty, 25, took a break from the arduous task of the London social scene to work on a real sunkissed tan rather than one from a bottle.

Maria was busy tweeting from the golden sands, but rather than highlight was tourist attractions she had visited, it was all about the diet.

As soon as she landed she wrote: ‘First day in Antigua and I heve realised maybe putting on a stone since my last holiday was not a good idea #BlameItOnLove #Wahh’

But issues with her curvier physique didn’t seem to last long, with Maria soon adding: ‘Fry up for breakfast… Spaghetti bolognaise for Lunch…. Mm what’s for dinner *Hand Over Face* #GettinFatter

‘Oh I forgot to add 2 plates of spaghetti bolognaise! I need will power I was so skinny last summer wahhhh ‘

But despite the best intentions to detox on her return to the UK, it was back out for wining and dining.

Last night, Maria and football beau Lee Croft headed to the May Fair hotel to celebrate their first six months together.

During her time abroad, the redhead tweeted: ‘Loving holidays… But missing @croft7 so much xxxx’

She added: ‘Having last food before we head to airport in a bit! Antigua’s been amazing. Looking forward to getting back home to lee #LongestWeBeenApart’

Maria also claimed she would be returning to the holiday destination again, quipping: ‘fk Dubai and marbella and the rest… Its alllll about the carribean would not bother goin dubai or marbs again!’

 
The cheek of it! Argentine actress Lola Ponce shows off her pert bottom in a revealing swimsuit on the beach.

She may not be very well known just yet but Lola Ponce is certainly making her mark.

The Argentine actress and singer set pulses racing as she stripped down to a sexy one-piece for a day at the beach in Miami today.

The 29-year-old displayed her ample curves in the black swimsuit, which had a cut-out side and back as well as displaying a good deal of the beauty’s pert bottom.

She scraped her brunette tresses into a bun but still managed to get her locks wet when she took a quick dip in the ocean.

Lola, whose full name is Paola Fabiana Ponce, also wore a pair of square-framed sunglasses to shield her eyes from the sun’s rays.

She was joined by her boyfriend and co-star Aarón Díaz for the romantic sunshine-filled getaway.

The pair strolled in the sand and even played a game of paddle ball in the turquoise waters as they made the most of their break.

The couple star together in Mexican telenovela El Talismán, in which they play brother and sister.

While Lola’s star is set to rise she already has some celebrity friends.

The stunning star is pals with Hollywood heartthrob George Clooney and the pair were seen dancing together at 2008’s Venice Film Festival in Italy.

As well as appearing in a host of television shows and films, Lola has had success in the music industry.

She has released four albums to date.

 
Unless “The X Factor” agrees to fork over more money, it seems Britney Spears won’t be joining the show’s judging panel anytime soon.

The FOX competition series reportedly offered the “Womanizer” singer a $10 million contract to join the second season as a mentor but, according to The Wrap, Spears shut it down in hopes of a much larger counter-offer.

Spears’ camp is allegedly looking for $20 million for the singer to appear on the show, a much higher paycheck than former judge Paula Abdul, who earned around $2.3 million during her stint on “The X Factor” last year.

The negotiations with Britney come as producers are desperate to find one more big name celebrity to join Simon Cowell and LA Reid, as auditions have already started with the second season premiere date slated for September 2012.

Spears might be picking the stage over the judging panel as a source close to the singer revealed she is considering a resident performer offer at a Las Vegas hotel in the fall.

Four Syrian generals, two colonels, a lieutenant colonel and three noncommissioned officers are among the Syrian refugees who have entered Turkey in the last two days.

The military came along with more than 200 refugees who crossed the Turkish border and taken to Reyhanli refugee camp, one of a half dozen shelters established by the Turkish authorities in the province of Hatay.

Initially reported the presence of two generals, but hours later it was clarified that there were four and expected a public statement of military deserters.

According to Anadolu, the generals had been in command of the forces of Damascus, Homs and Latakia.

So far, among the Syrian military exiles were only two high ranking: Asad Riad Colonel Mustafa and General Shaikh.

Asad Riad set in last summer the Free Syrian Army, a guerrilla force composed mainly of low-ranking military deserters, fighting against the regime of Bashar al-Assad and starred in the Battle of Homs.

Shaykh Mustafa arrived in Turkey in January and since then, both military has been involved in a domestic confrontation has even split the armed opposition forces.

Ousama Mardini, a man
Syrian businessman in exile in Sweden, which aims to coordinate the opposition, had advocated in January to replace Asad Sheikh to Riyadh, as the Colonel, in his opinion, had a weak personality and seemed too inclined to the Muslim Brotherhood.

“We need someone with a strong personality, we must end the mistakes that Asad Riad, now, many soldiers desert the Syrian regime and should be supported, coordinate, organize, and is not,” he said Mardini.

Sheikh proclaimed in January the creation of a new military council led by him, but was overruled by Asad Riad and now both have their supporters among Syrian fighters of all form, fighting largely autonomously.

Asad Riad is closer to the Syrian National Council, which aims to represent the opposition to the regime of Bashar al-Assad, while those opposed to this organization are committed to the leadership of Sheikh.

The arrival of four general Turkish refugee camps bring a new dimension not only to the question of the relation of forces within the Syrian opposition, but also the survival of the government of Bashar al-Assad.

In the past two days announced his defection, with videos posted on the Internet, Brigadier General Ahmet Kasim Farzat and Deputy Minister of Oil, Abdo Hussameddin. EFE
