Natascha among 'World's Greatest Beauties'

"Pensioners shine in new beauty poll

Three women who are old enough to claim their pensions have appeared in a list of the 10 most beautiful women in the world.

French actress Catherine Deneuve, 67, was fifth in the list, which was based on the amount of media coverage given to a select group of celebrities.

Dame Helen Mirren, 65, came sixth and 76-year-old Sophia Loren, a grandmother of two, was in 10th place.

Spanish actress Penelope Cruz, 36, took top spot in the list which was compiled for clothing firm Wizard Jeans.

Sally Allen, from the firm, said all the women in the list possessed natural beauty.

She said: "As someone once said, the difference between pretty and beautiful is that pretty is temporal, whereas beautiful is eternal."

The full list of the 10 most beautiful women in the world is: 1 Penelope Cruz, 2 Claudia Schiffer, 3 Kristin Scott Thomas, 4 Queen Rania of Jordan, 5 Catherine Deneuve, 6 Dame Helen Mirren, 7 Charlize Theron, 8 Kate Beckinsale, 9 Natascha McElhone and 10 Sophia Loren."

McElhone's Tribute To Late Husband

"British actress Natascha McElhone has paid tribute to her late husband with a memorial service exactly a year after he died of a heart attack.

The Californication star was filming in Los Angeles when her plastic surgeon partner Martin Kelly suffered a cardiac arrest on 20 May last year, collapsing on the doorstep of the couple's home in London.

McElhone, who was pregnant with the pair's third child at the time of Kelly's death, attended an emotional remembrance ceremony in London on Wednesday.

Family and friends of the couple gathered at the Royal Society of Medicine in the British capital to commemorate Kelly's life.

The couple's eldest son, nine-year-old Theo, paid tribute to his late father in a short speech, describing him as "a boy inside a man".

McElhone and Kelly's family also includes Otis, six, and baby Rex, who was born five months after Kelly passed away."
