David Walliams has realised he needs to "move on" from Lara Stone

The 43-year-old TV star was seen without his wedding ring for the first time since he and the Dutch model embarked on a trial separation in February at the Communications Business Awards in London on Thursday (18.06.15) and insiders say he has accepted his marriage is over.

A source said: "David was holding out hope that he and Lara would stay together. But after going to America this month he realised he needs to try and move on. This is the first step in that direction."

David - who has two-year-old son Alfred with 31-year-old Lara - credits his friends for helping him cope with the split and is now throwing himself into work, with US movie bosses keen to turn one of his children's books into a film.

The source added to the Daily Mirror newspaper: "He met up with James Corden while he was in Los Angeles, it helped to clear his head and his friends have rallied round, helping him to move on with the split.

"There is a lot of interest in David in America. His children's books 'Mr. Stink' and 'Billionaire Boy' are the most likely candidates.

"But it all depends on how much time he has and whether he can commit to such a big project.

"There is also the possibility of him being a judge on one of Simon Cowell's shows in the US. It has been a welcome distraction from his marriage problems."

Lara Stone's Un-Photoshopped Calvin Klein Photo Shoot Is Beautifully Real

In this age of Photoshopped perfection, it's rare to see an image of a model or celebrity that hasn't been unduly modified with a little nip there or a flash of illumination there. However, Lara's Stone's un-Photophopped Juergen Teller-shot Clavin Klein photo spread for System Magazine presents a rare, unedited glimpse into what a woman's body looks like without the aid of an Instagram filter or the virtual liposuction of a smart computer. The model, who gave birth to one-year-old son Alfred after temporarily relinquishing her modeling career due to weight gain, bravely placed her post-pregnancy body on display clad in little more than Calvin Klein skivvies for the System spread.

Be forewarned: Stone's shoot is an NSFW, skin-to-the-wind ode to poise and boldness. Most female celebrities and models strategically select the day on which they debut their post-baby body as a date when they're nearing their goal weight and have indulged in their fair share of grueling two-a-day personal training sessions, laser resurfacing, and body facial. The moment you lay eyes on Stone's shoot, it becomes abundantly clear that Stone's intent was not to mock the general public with such illusory trickery. And the authenticity of the photo shoot makes it all the more beautiful. Though Stone remains amongst the legions of seemingly untouchable beauties who even a 100 pound weight gain could not fell, her honesty in presenting a post-pregnancy body with its changed topography and what society may deem flaws is downright heroic.

Check out some of the shots below, then head over to Refinery 29 for the rest of the shoot.

Balenciaga’s Fall Campaign Pairs Kate Moss and Lara Stone

KATE, LARA AND BALENCIAGA:Balenciaga’s fall ads feature two big model coups and the power of provocation. Kate Moss and Lara Stone were shot together for the first time — both fully clad in looks from the fall Balenciaga collection, but shown in a rather sensual position.

“For me, the fall collection began with the real women of Balenciaga — women who are multifaceted and multidimensional: strong and sensual yet also austere and mysterious,” said Alexander Wang, Balenciaga’s creative director. “I wanted the first image for the campaign to frame Kate and Lara in a mysterious conversation.” The image appears to be less about talk than body language with Moss positioned reclining on her side with an arm draped around Stone, who appears to be leaning in for the kill — a kiss, a whisper, whatever. It’s suggestive stuff.

Steven Klein shot the images with art direction by Pascal Dangin of KiDS Creative. Panos Yiapanis styled the shoot while Anthony Turner did hair and Val Garland handled makeup. The campaign will appear in international publications in July.
