Murray charges into final

Defending champion Andy Murray has never lost a match in Shanghai
Defending champion Andy Murray has never lost a match in Shanghai
Andy Murray dismantled world number one Roger Federer in straight sets in their semi-final to continue his remarkable winning run at the Shanghai Masters.
The two-time defending champion made it into another final at the tournament following a high-class display in a 6-4 6-4 win. The Scot, who has never lost in Shanghai, returned superbly to set up a title match with Novak Djokovic, the man he beat to win the US Open last month.
The world number three kept his focus amid some confusion at the start of the second set. He saw six break points go begging and was told the roof would be closed as light rain started to fall. As the roof was closing, Federer went on to hold his serve, but the rain quickly stopped, the roof reopened and the Swiss then had no answer to Murray.
The rain returned before Murray served for the match and the roof was closed completely this time. A substantial delay led to both players going off court, but it could not derail the Scot as he closed out the match on his return. He started like a train, breaking in the opening game of the match with some booming shots.
Federer, though, responded in kind, levelling the scores after his opponent had fought back from 0-30 down to 30-30 only to surrender the game with a weak unforced error. Murray had another chance to break in game three, but the Swiss dug in to hold.
The world number one was threatening to find his rhythm, but Murray was also looking strong and a huge forward winner which wrong-footed Federer helped him get back to 2-2. He then raced into a 0-40 lead before a Federer double fault gave him a second break. Four successive holds gave Murray the chance to serve for the set at 5-4 and he did so.
The game of the match came at the start of the second set. Murray carved out six break points thanks to some superb returning and stunning passing shots, only for Federer to save each one. At deuce number seven, Federer pointed out to the umpire drops of rain were starting to fall and claimed the court was becoming slippery.
Federer got his wish for the roof to be closed, much to Murray's apparent frustration, perhaps a reminder of the Wimbledon final when he lost to Federer under the Centre Court roof. Play continued while the roof was closing and Murray got a seventh break point, only for Federer to save it at the end of a truly incredible, marathon point.
Both players looked certain to win it at one stage only for their opponent to somehow stay alive before Federer finally ended it with a cute drop shot which Murray, for once, was just unable to get to. And the Swiss then sent down an ace to hold for 1-0. As the rain relented, Murray got the good news the roof would open again and he made it 1-1.
Both players held for 2-2 before the Scot got his nose in front again, breaking for a 3-2 lead. Murray consolidated his advantage to go 4-2 in front and maintained that break. There was yet more confusion and a long delay while the roof was closed properly before Murray was finally given the chance to serve out the match, which he did on his first match point.

Unique gold Nissan GT-R for Usain Bolt charity

The fastest man on Earth drives a very fast car - who'da thunk it?Usain Bolt is the fastest man on Earth - a 'double-triple' Olympic horde of six gold medals plus five world championship titles attest to that. Although he's been pictured with Ferraris and fast BMWs in the past he now drives a Nissan GT-R, a car that does 0-62mph in 2.8 seconds.

Do the Nissan GT-R and Usain Bolt make a good match?
The combination of Bolt and GT-R therefore seems quite appropriate - and with the Nissan's ultra clever four-wheel drive system, perhaps he's less likely to crash it... Moving swiftly on.

But what has Usain Bolt got to do with Nissan?
The Olympic Champion is in fact Nissan's new 'Director of Excitement' - no, we're not making that up, and don't let it put you off. As well as speccing his own 'Bolt GT-R' he's also been hard at work producing a one-off gold GT-R for

What charity is the gold Usain Bolt Nissan GT-R supporting and when does it go on sale?
The unique gold GT-R goes to auction on eBay later this month, with all proceeds set to benefit the Usain Bolt Foundation. The Foundation works to create opportunities for children and young people in the sprinter's home country, Jamaica.

First pics: Jennifer Aniston’s HUGE diamond engagement ring from Justin Theroux

It's not like we didn't think that A-lister Jennifer Aniston would like a bit of bling.

But our mouths fell open at the size of her engagement ring from Justin Theroux when these first pictures landed on our desks today.
The Hollywood actress *FINALLY* debuted her rock this weekend as she stepped out with her fiance in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
The couple - who got engaged in August - looked as loved-up as ever as they left their accommodation for a romantic stroll.

The betrothed pair looked relaxed in jeans and casual jackets as they took time out of their hectic schedules to be together.
Jen has been filming latest movie, comedy 'We're The Millers' in nearby Albuquerque.


Justin popped the question back in August, to coincide with his 41st birthday (and to steal the limelight away from her ex Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie who were reportedly getting hitched that weekend) but the pair have remained low-key since about their wedding.
The 'Friends' star was seen shortly afterwards wearing a simply gold band on her wedding finger.

And although they've been tight-lipped about when they will tie the knot, OK! Magazine report that they may well chose holiday destination Mexico as the location.
A source told them: "Jen has fallen in love with New Mexico, it has a very relaxed vibe that fits both her and Justin perfectly, so it would be a great place for them to have the wedding."
A source told US magazine that Jen and Justin have been eyeing up Julia Roberts' New Mexico ranch as a potential venue AND they've had yet another celeb acting as their wedding coordinator.
No doubt it'll be SOME wedding.

Kate Middleton has a gossip with Frank Lampard, obvs learning the off-side rule

We never had Kate Middleton down as a football fan, but today she hung out with some of the England players and looked to be having a jolly good time.

Kate Middleton was with hubby Prince William at the launch of the National Football Centre, where she was spotted having a big old gossip with none other than Frank Lampard.
 
Onlookers at the event said that Kate Middleton hadn't been brushing up on the off-side rule, so we reckon Frank Lampard was talking her through the technicalities.
Mind you, she looks far more interested than we do when being taught about football. Snore.
Kate MiddletonKate Middleton looked to be having a goold old chat with the players. Copyright [Rex]Or maybe they were discussing Frank's upcoming wedding to Christine - Kate knows a thing or two about big weddings after all.
Ashley Cole was also in attendance, but Kate Middleton wasn't spotted talking to him. We don't really blame her on that front.
However, Prince William was overheard telling Ashley off about his latest Twitter debacle. Prince William apparently said: "If you continue to be a naughty boy they'll take your Twitter account off you!"
Kate MiddletonKate Middleton looked as gorgeous as ever in this coat dress. Copyright [Rex]A 'naughty boy' is a bit of an understatement Wills, but well done for the reprimand.
Kate Middleton looked as gorgeous as ever, wrapped up against the cold weather in a green coat dress.
She cinched the dress in at the waist with a chunky belt and finished the outfit off with dark tights and black boots - the whole ensemble has officially made us excited for autumn fashion.

Pregnant Fearne Cotton cradles growing baby bump under autumn cardi

We've been on Fearne Cotton baby bump watch ever since she announced the news she's expecting.

And today the Radio 1 DJ looked more pregnant than ever as she arrived at the BBC for her daily show.
The mum-to-be hasn't been showing much of a bump yet, since announcing back in August that she's expecting.
But today she looking bloomin' gorgeous as she cradled her growing figure under an autumn cardi.
Fearne got the seasonal transition spot on in a grey dress, black tights and the Aztec-inspired cream knit.

The fashionista completed the look with a fierce black leather bag and matching shoe-boots.
And she topped it off with her trademark John Lennon sunnies and a brown beanie hat.
The 31-year-old, who is expecting her first child with boyfriend Jesse Wood, told Company magazine she wasn't a fan of the idea of maternity clothing so would just be upping her size for a few months.


She said: "I'm not keen on the idea of elasticated waistbands, so I'm sticking mainly with clothes I like but in bigger sizes! Maybe I'll have to go a bit more boho but nothing too off the beaten track.
Speaking about how she plans her style she added: "I usually plan three looks before I go to bed and then decide how I feel when I get up. Some days I'll put something daring and bright on and other times I just want to hide away so I go black and baggy.
"I'd be lying if I said [being in the public eye doesn't affect what I wear]. There are definitely some days where I want to roll up in a pair of dirty jeans and an old jumper, but it's not worth the s**t I'd get."

Kate Middleton is back in her trusty tights, winter must be here!

Kate Middleton is back in her black opaques which can mean only one thing: winter is here.
It must be winter if Kate is back in her trust tights! Copyright: [rex]

After a summer of tanned pins, the Dutchess has fallen back on her wardrobe staple: trusty black tights, leading us to conclude there is no going back now, winter has officially begun.
Some people say it's the first frost on your car, we say it's the purchase of opaque tights.
And there is no bigger celeb fan than Kate Middleton who has supported the toasty trend pretty much every winter until about May.

Kate donned the first of this years' opaques for a trip with Wills to the Honourable Society of the Middle Temple, where they were on hand to give out some scholarships to selected lucky students.
It seemed, as ever, like the couple were having a fab time and were seen laughing and chatting with each other throughout the day.
In her first public outing since the Royal tour when *those* photos broke, Kate looked totally at ease and thrilled to be there.
We just REALLY want Kate's hairdressers' number, OK?! Copyright: [rex]
However, we reckon she was just thrilled with her amazing hair as per.
Judging by these snaps, the Dutchess is almost definitely in the midst of a massive smug LOL after catching a glimpse of her amazing bouncy 'do in a window.

Daisy Lowe shows off her curves for latest Jean Paul Gaultier Diet Coke bottle



The 23-year-old can be seen flaunting her hour-glass figure in the latest ad while the design from the ‘Tattoo’ bottle is projected onto her body. She wears a pillar-box-red hat and lipstick as well as a huge grin on her face, emulating Diet Coke’s fun philosophy – to celebrate the lighter side of life, the female body and, of course, fashion.
Lowe who is a self-confessed fan of the designer said: ‘I love Jean Paul Gaultier's designs, they're so iconic’
‘[he] creates clothes that make women feel powerful and feminine,’
This is the third and final limited edition bottle in the collection and demonstrates Gaultier’s passion for body art. The previous two designs ‘Night & Day’ were inspired by Gaultier’s iconic bra and his signature use of Breton stripes.
The ‘Tattoo’ bottle will be available free with every purchase of two 500ml bottles of Diet Coke, at selected Boots stores nationwide from mid-October.

US award for chart topper Adele

Adele has scored yet another music award for her hit Rolling In The Deep
Adele has scored yet another music award for her hit Rolling In The Deep
Adele has been honoured for her airplay success in the US after her hit Rolling In The Deep was one of the most frequently played songs on radio.
The track notched up 1.35 million performances in one six month period last year and to date has been broadcast more than two million times.
It was the most played song in the US in 2011 among artists registered with royalties body Broadcast Music Inc (BMI).
Other artists were recognised for reaching new milestones for their work at the annual BMI London Awards staged at the Dorchester Hotel.
Mark Hollis, the frontman of Talk Talk, was honoured for his song It's My Life receiving three million plays since it was first recorded and released in 1984. The track went on to greater success when it was covered by US band No Doubt, who accounted for much of the airplay. Mark, whose band still has huge cult appeal, has rarely made any public appearances since leaving the music business following his only solo album in 1998.
Dwina Gibb, the widow of Bee Gees star Robin who died earlier this year, attended the event to collect awards on behalf of her late husband's group. She and son RJ saw the group honoured for three million plays of Stayin' Alive and five million plays of How Can You Mend A Broken Heart.
Rolling In The Deep's two million plays since its release early last year are the equivalent of the song being performed back-to-back for more than 12 years.

Bernstein outlines importance of Respect



David Bernstein has stressed the importance of the Respect campaign
David Bernstein has stressed the importance of the Respect campaign
David Bernstein has identified his Respect agenda as the single most important task he faces as FA chairman.
Bernstein is ready to roll out a new Code of Conduct, possibly in time for England's friendly with Sweden in Gothenburg on November 14.
"I came into this position as chairman with five things I'd identified, one of which was respect, in its wider sense," he said. "Not just towards referees but player-to-player, the whole respect agenda. I'm beginning to think it's the most important thing I've got to deal with as chairman of the FA."
The implementation of the Code of Conduct will mark the end of a process that began in January, since when the FA have lost the services of Fabio Capello and John Terry, and found themselves bearing the brunt of Ashley Cole's outrageous Twitter rant which cast a shadow over Tuesday's landmark opening of the National Football Centre at St George's Park.
And whilst Bernstein is anxious to spell out no connection should be made to the code and the actions of Cole and Terry, who has still to decide whether he will appeal against his four-match ban for making a racist slur at Anton Ferdinand at Loftus Road in October last year, it is clear its publication cannot come quickly enough.
Cole sought out Bernstein on Monday night to personally apologise for labelling the FA "a bunch of T***s" on Twitter last Friday.
It was a reaction no-one could possibly excuse - and one it is hard to imagine being aired within a club environment where there is no such blurring of the lines between team selection and overall discipline.
Bernstein thinks so, not least because he gets the strong sense England's players actually want to be there.
"These guys share a desire to play for England. They really do value it," he said.
"But the FA is a complicated organisation. Having the whole regulatory side alongside Club England has created a degree of confusion. There has been a lack of clarity and the fact we haven't sat down with them has led to a bit of fuzziness."

Singer Rihanna shines with Diamonds

Rihanna has topped the UK singles chart with Diamonds
Rihanna has topped the UK singles chart with Diamonds
Rihanna has scooped the top spot in the UK singles chart with her new track Diamonds.
The Barbadian star knocked last week's number one, Gangnam Style by rapper Psy, to number two.
Mid-week sales predicted it would be a straight fight between Rihanna and One Direction for chart supremacy, but the boy band's song Live While We're Young entered in third place.
Adele's new single, the Bond theme Skyfall, is likely to challenge for top spot next week after entering the chart at number four despite only going on sale on Friday.
Another new entry, Ellie Goulding, landed her sixth Top 40 hit with Anything Could Happen going in at number five.
Meanwhile, Muse chalked up their fourth number one album with The 2nd Law.
Folk four-piece Mumford And Sons dropped to second place in the albums chart with their release Babel.
US singer Pink maintained her grip on third place with The Truth About Love, while Battle Born by Las Vegas-based band The Killers was also a non-mover at four.
Emeli Sande climbed two places to five with Our Version Of Events, while vocal harmony group The Overtones had the second-highest new entry with Higher going in at number six.

And despite packing out the south London venue with screaming fans, Cheryl Cole's biggest supporters were clearly her BFFs as they tweeting their excitement and pride at her performance.
Nicola Roberts got emosh as she watched Cheryl wow on her 'A Million Lights Tour' tweeting: "I am so so so so proud right now.. wiping tears @CherylCole #AMillionLightsTour"
While Strictly Come Dancing star Kimberley Walsh posted: "so unbelievably proud of @Cherylcole right now!!!!!!!!! Love her tooooooo much! #amillionlights".
Kimberley, Nadine and Nicola were spotted sitting together at the O2 and Cheryl's PR company posted this picture of the three of them together. But there was no sign of fifth member Sarah Harding.

Kate Middleton and William Windsor send Reese Witherspoon babygro for newborn Tennessee, naw

Talk about having friend in high places.
American magazine Star reports that Kate and Will sent the actress a patriotic Union Jack babygro.
The present was also accompanied by a handwritten note from the royal couple.
Reese met the couple when they visited Los Angeles last year and it seems they hit it off with the actress.
 
The couple was also alleged to be among the first of many famous faces to shower the newborn with gifts.
Reese Witherspoon previously admitted that she had invited Kate and Will to attend her wedding to Tim Roth.
She said last year: ''I can't even contain my enthusiasm for the royal wedding!"
"I'm kind of bummed I'm not invited [though]. My girlfriend asked me if I was invited. Well, no, but I invited them to my wedding!''
Robert Pattinson has offered up his babysitting services. [Copyright Wenn]
Reese's 'Water for Elephants' co-star Robert Pattinson is also reported to have sent a gift.
A source told Star: ''Rob was one of the first to call and he even promised unlimited babysitting services."
"The baby is the toast of Hollywood.''

Newcastle to play at the Wonga Stadium?

The Sunday Telegraph reports that the club will finalise an agreement worth £8 million a year within the next fortnight.
The deal will begin from the start of the 2013/14 season and last for three years.
While Newcastle fans will welcome the injection of cash, they may wince at their St James' Park home being renamed the Wonga Stadium.
In 2009 owner Mike Ashley rechristened it Sportsdirect @ St James' Park after his own chain of sportswear stores - a move that provoked considerable anger among supporters.
Last year the ground, Newcastle's home since 1892, became the Sports Direct Arena.
Wonga offers short-term loans at very high interest rates. It currently has a shirt sponsorship deal with Blackpool.

Sports Direct Arena, Newcastle
TEN MORE FUNNY STADIUM NAMES
Pizza Hut Park - Texas, USA
Nicknamed "The Oven" by fans of the resident FC Dallas MLS team. If the players turn up 30 minutes late, you get your ticket for free. Sadly, the deal passed its sell-by date in January 2012
KitKat Crescent - York, England
York City 'had a break' from their usual "Bootham Crescent" name for a five-year period from 2005-2010.
Wankdorf Stadium - Berne, Switzerland
Wankdorf Stadium? Home of the Young Boys of Berne? Must. Avoid. Obvious. Jokes.
Gaylord Entertainment Center - Nashville, USA
Now renamed the more acceptable Bridgestone Arena; but from 1999-2007 those big, nasty, butch hockey players from the Nashville Predators ensured it was never easy to come away from the Gaylord Entertainment Center with a result.
Middelfart Stadium - Middelfart, Denmark
The 'atmosphere' at this ground is always said to very intimidating.
Hotto Motto Field - Kobe, Japan
We won't dwell on this baseball stadium's name for too long. After all, it was called the "Yahoo! Baseball Stadium" between 2003-2004.
Dick's Sporting Goods Park - Colorado, USA
The home of the MLS side the Colorado Rapids. Arsenal fans beware though, they are owned by Stan Kroenke, one of the Gunners' main shareholders. That deal with Emirates won't last forever you know!
Bargain Booze Stadium - Northwich, England
Witton Albion changed the name of their Wincham Park ground for a couple of seasons to this doozy...or should that be boozy?
Mitsubishi Forklift Stadion - Almere, Netherlands
Well, if the fans of Almere City aren't able to lift the roof?
Arnold Schwarzenegger Stadium - Graz, Austria
Local team Strum Graz named their stadium after their city's most famous son, only to then revoke it in 2005 when Arnie refused to stop an execution as governor of California.

Liam Payne is dating Leona Lewis?! *picks jaw up from keyboard*

Liam Payne is reportedly seeing Leona Lewis.
Leona and Liam? Really? Honestly?! Copyright: [wenn]

*check eyes*
Yes, you did read that correctly — Liam Payne is believed to be dating, hooking up with, Mr Lover Lovering X Factor winner Leona Lewis!
Feel free to pick your jaw back up off the keyboard before we continue.
Yes, despite Liam only having been single for a few days and Leona being eight years his senior, a 'close family source' told The Sun the pair are getting on just great!
The source told the paper: "As soon as the chance came to ask her out he grabbed it — and they really enjoyed their dates together."

So it would seem that Harry Styles isn't the only member of the band with a penchant for the older ladies!
The source continued: "Although they were in London they managed to stay out of the limelight and are really into each other."
However we want to know how would Liam have even found the time to fit in a date since splitting up with Danielle Peazer last week?
Liam has only just split up with Danielle. Copyright: [wenn]
We knew Liam was single and all that after the boys' appearance on Chatty Man, but we did expect him to remain that way for at least… well, a few days at least!
Plus, if it is true then it must be a dream come true for Liam who admitted in January, "My celebrity crush has got to be Leona Lewis... love Leona Lewis."
Whats more if it is true, who knew Leona Lewis was such a cougar? Miaow!

TOWIE’s Mario and Lucy: ‘Amy Childs is only known for sticking plastic on people’s vaginas’

Lucky Mecklenburgh and Mario Falcone have slammed their former TOWIE costar Amy Childs, saying she was only known for 'sticking plastic on vaginas'.
We get the feeling Mario and Lucy aren't the biggest Amy Childs fans. Copyright: [wenn]

Yes, the new series of TOWIE hasn't even begun yet and already there is drama brewing in Essex!
Lucy told the Daily Star on Sunday: "You know what makes me laugh about Amy is, she slags off TOWIE all the time and says we should be axed."

"And then she hears there could be a movie and she says she'd love to do it."
And Lucy went on to say that if a TOWIE movie is on the horizon, then Amy better butt out.
"She is so rude and disrespectful. She left so long ago and the show is doing so much better now. I don't think she should have an opinion," Lucy told the paper.
Lucy reckons Amy shouldn't be in the TOWIE movie. Copyright: [wenn]
Mario then jumped in saying how Amy was a fool to leave the show and how he found it 'ironic' when Amy commented that he and Lucy didn't get any good story lines.
Mario says: "Amy's problem is she forgets where she came from. She left TOWIE and she fell flat on her face".
Oof!
"She said Lucy, Lauren, Chloe and I should be axed because we have run out of storylines, which is ironic seeing as her only storyline was sticking bits of plastic on people's vaginas."
At which point we would just like to interrupt and suggest that we are pretty those were sequins and not plastic.
The new series of TOWIE starts tonight at 10pm on ITV2 and we actually don't think we could be any more excited, vajazzles or no vajazzles.

Cat Deeley marries Patrick Kielty, Edith Bowman is bridesmaid *picks jaw up from keyboard

Cat Deeley is officially Mrs Patrick Kielty after the pair secretly wed this weekend after ten months together.
PatCat are MARRIED!? Copyright: [rex]

Yes, this really did happen and no, we don't think we can handle the randomness at this hour either, we haven't even had our Weetabix for cripes sake.
We know we should probably get over it, but we still can't quite believe these two are an item!


Plus, to add to the amazing randomness, Edith Bowman was Cat's bridesmaid.
Honestly, now it just sounds like we are chucking names at you, but it's true!
Cat married Patrick in Rome! Copyright: [wenn]
PatCat, as everyone are now calling them, tied the knot at an intimate ceremony in Rome in front of about 60 family and friends.
A source told The Sun: "Cat was stunning", yeah tell us something we don't know, "she looked absolutely beautiful, and the reception afterwards was pretty quiet by normal standards".
The source also said how the plans were kept a secret even from their closest family until a few days before!
"The wedding plans were top secret. Friends of Paddy and Cat only found out in the last few days."
The pair got hitched at the St Isidore's College Church close to the Vatican which specializes in Irish weddings and Patrick even flew over his priest from Belfast especially.
And it would seem that this weekend was the weekend to have a secret wedding, after Anne Hathaway and Adam Shulman also exchanged covert vows.

Tooting postcode tops income list

Research has found that income per home in one particular postcode in Tooting is £66,100, higher than anywhere else in the country including traditionally upmarket areas such as Knightsbridge, Kensington and Chelsea.
The figures are contained in the Wealth of the Nation 2012 report by CACI, a data company that specialises in postcode analysis.
Meanwhile a postcode in Salford Quays in Manchester was found to have the sixth highest average household income in the UK at £63,700 due to the BBC moving much of its operations there.
Tooting Common in south west London. Image: Stefan Rousseau/PA WireNeither Tooting or Salford were in the top 10 the last time that CACI carried out the research in 2006.

The company admitted that the results are “surprising”.
CACI it said that the Tooting postcode in question - starting SW17 6 - is home to a large number of “well-educated, senior managerial young couples”, meaning that many homes have two generous incomes.
Its research found that a noticeable absence of poorer retirees in the postcode in question means that the average income in the postcode remains high.
The area in question borders Tooting Graveney Common and contains a high proportion of newly-built houses and flats.
Property prices in Tooting have risen sharply in recent years due to its proximity to green space and large selection of pubs, bars and restaurants, including some of London’s best curry houses.
The area is also attractive to young professionals as it is located on the Northern Line of the underground and therefore has good transport links into the City of London.
Farhad Ahmed, a member of the Balham and Tooting Community Association, said that Tooting’s attraction is its diversity. However he said that not all parts of Tooting are affluent.
“The area is really diverse. Parts have the highest average income but there are also areas that are very deprived. You find people with low the lowest incomes there as well with half a mile of that area. It is a strange mixture, really.
He said that house prices in Tooting have “steadily gone up” but said there are places “about three-quarters of a mile away that you’ll find are the lowest prices properties in the borough”.

It wasn't just Justin Bieber's fans who had "Bieber Fever" as the teen idol kicked off his national tour in suburban Phoenix.
Video posted on KTVK-TV's website showed the pop star vomiting twice on stage on Saturday night during his sold-out concert at the Jobing.com Arena in Glendale. He left the stage after each episode but returned and even managed an encore.
KTVK reported Justin's fans sang some of his songs while he was offstage and he later apologised for being sick.
Justin later tweeted: "Great show. Getting better for tomorrow's show!!!! Love u."
He later added: "And ... Milk was a bad choice!"
Justin's 45-city Believe tour continues at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Paris 2012: Top 10 concept cars

McLaren P1 (© Microsoft-Magic Car Pics)
Motor shows are a great excuse for car manufacturers to go mad and showcase outlandish concepts, most of which have no hope of making it into production. Paris 2012 is no different, with a number of hot "design studies" to capture the imagination. Here are MSN Cars' ten favourite.

McLaren P1 (© Microsoft-Magic Car Pics)
Boom - way to make an impact at your home show, Peugeot. The Onyx is a jaw dropping supercar concept built around Le Mans racer diesel hybrid technology. And as if up to 680hp wasn't impressive enough, it also features real copper panels and a dashboard made out of old newspapers.#

McLaren P1 (© Microsoft-Magic Car Pics)
Previewing the next generation of Smart road cars - not to mention the technology that will underpin the next Renault Twingo - the ForStars is a proper show stopper, thanks to the movie projector built into the bonnet, star-gazer friendly roof and its cartoonish visage.

McLaren P1 (© Microsoft-Magic Car Pics)
The Concept Active Tourer is sure to raise eyebrows amongst BMW enthusiasts. Not only is it a people carrier, it previews a new range of three-cylinder turbo engines, plug-in hybrid technology and - shock - it's front rather than rear-wheel drive. 1 Series GT here we come.

Could this be what the next generation of Nissan Qashqai looks like? Though the chunky proportions seem fun we're less convinced about that cross-eyed front end. Either way, we won't be seeing the TeRRA's hydrogen fuel cell electric drive in dealerships anytime soon. Shame.

One of the few genuine secret squirrel cars at the 2012 Paris Show, the Porsche Sport Turismo is a sort of Panamera shooting brake concept. Except it's actually slightly smaller. And better looking. Plug-in hybrid power hints of future production plans, too. Remember when Porsche used to build sports cars?

If this is what the next Lexus IS looks like, count us in. The LF-CC does a great job of transferring the premium Japanese brand's latest design language onto a smaller vehicle, and suggests a future compact coupé is on the cards. Sublime detailing throughout.

At first glance the Crosslane Coupe may look like just another of Audi's off-road Q-models. But it's actually a rather unusual two-door design with a targa roof. It also debuts a 1.5-litre three-cylinder engine, which combined with two electric motors provides 177hp. Exotic materials, too.

We knew it was coming, but that doesn't make it any less sensational - the new McLaren P1 is aiming to re-write the rulebook for 'ultra sports cars'. No word on the engine or performance yet, but we do know it generates 600kg of down-force at 'track' speeds.

It's got a range-extender powertrain, solar panels, social media integration and it's targeting the burgeoning compact crossover market - it's hard to thing how this SsangYong electric-eXicting user Interface Vehicle could be any more on trend. Looks good, too.
