Slender Anna Friel dons tiny hotpants as she embarks on family work-out

Now here's a work-out with a difference. British actress Anna Friel wears a tiny pair of hotpants as she and her family enjoy a spot of exercise.

The bizarre scene was captured in Hollywood near to the home the Pushing Daisies star shares with her actor boyfriend, David Thewlis, and their daughter, Gracie.

Wearing an equally tight-fitting black vest top and black trainers, the 32-year-old and Thewlis, 46, took it in turns to push the buggy transporting their little girl.

Perhaps Friel is attempting to retain her trim figure for the forthcoming release of Land of the Lost, due for release in June.

In the film, she plays Holly Cantrell, assistant to Will Ferrell's disgraced paleontologist, who find themselves in a strange, alternate world inhabited by dinosaurs, monkey people and reptiles.

After the first season of her U.S. series Pushing Daisies was axed, Friel turned down six other pilot offers to concentrate on her movie career.

Judging by these pictures, the actress might to well to consider following other stars by bringing out a family fitness DVD.

Rihanna unveils controversial new gun tattoo

Given her recent domestic assault, one might think Rihanna would be the last person who'd want to glamourise violence.

But the 21-year-old made the unusual decision to have a handgun tattooed on her body this week.

The singer, who has often been seen wearing a miniature gun pendant necklace, had the weapon etched across her ribcage.

Weapon of choice: Rihanna shows off her new tattoo of a handgun

She visited Los Angeles based tattoo artist BangBang, who initially drew two guns on either side of the tops of her arms.

But the singer decided against having the weapons inked on in such a prominent position because of her contract with make-up brand Cover Girl.

BangBang wrote on his website: 'I really wanted to put it here [on her arms]… She loved ‘em. But, Cover Girl wouldn’t have liked it much… and they pay the bills!'

He continued: 'Ended up doing it on her ribs.'

Rihanna already has many other tattoos, including a collection of stars plunging down her back, a music note on her ankle and a Pisces sign behind her right ear.

She also has a star inside her left ear, a Sanskrit prayer going down the hip, the word Shhh... down her index finger, and a tribal patter on her right hand.

Rihanna has been keeping a reasonably low profile in recent times following her assault drama.

She was allegedly beaten up by her boyfriend Chris Brown during a heated argument in his sports car the day before the Grammy Awards.

The couple, who reconciled after the incident despite his domestic battery charges, are said to be on a break.

Brown is expected to be back in court for an arraignment on April 6.

Legal experts have claimed that the case against Brown could hinge on Rihanna's co-operation.

Her spokesperson has previously insisted that she will 'do everything that the law requires her to do'.
