Gold run: Mo Farah powered ahead of the field in the closing stages of the 10,000m to claim Britain's sixth gold of an extraordinary day

Great Britain's Super Saturday became a golden weekend as Team GB triumphed in six separate events at London 2012.

The gold rush on Britain's best Olympic day in a century started with the men's coxless four team and women's lightweight double sculls, who topped the podium in front of an ecstatic Eton Dorney crowd early in the day.

Their double gold became a triple triumph when the women's team pursuit cyclists stormed to victory in the Velodrome at world record pace, before GB's athletics stars capped a remarkable day in the Olympic Stadium.

Earlier Team GB won two rowing golds and yet another in the velodrome as the women in the team pursuit claimed victory with another world record.

When Ennis's moment of triumph came the audience were ecstatic and she sat on the track and wept. She then broke into a huge smile, acknowledged the adoring crowd and wrapped herself in a huge Union flag marked 'Olympic Champion'.

Interviewed by the BBC, she burst into tears and said: 'I am so shocked, I can't believe it. I am so happy.'

Farah hugged his stepdaughter Rhianna and wife, Tania, who is pregnant with twins, as he draped himself in the Union flag.

Talking to the BBC he said: 'This is the best moment of my life.'

The Somali-born athlete, who attended Feltham Community College and Isleworth and Syon School in London, danced for joy around the track.

Rutherford, from Milton Keynes, said: 'That is the most amazing feeling in the world.'

Away from the Stadium a sensational world record-breaking performance by women cyclists in the team pursuit, in the frenzied atmosphere of the velodrome, led to another gold.

Great Britain's female cyclists had fulfilled their lifelong dream by claiming a stunning team pursuit gold in a blistering world record.

Britain have now won four of the five gold medals on offer after three days of track cycling, with five events to come, after Joanna Rowsell, Dani King and Laura Trott clocked three minutes 14.051 seconds to triumph with a sixth consecutive world record in the three-woman, 3km event.

The wins propelled the British team into third position in the medal table with 29 - 14 gold, seven silver and eight bronze. And with strong gold medal contenders Jessica Ennis and Mo Farah to compete later tonight, Britain's could make it an unprecedented five golds in one day.

Over at Eton Dorney, the British national anthem was belted out for the third day in four as Team GB dominated the water once again.

Great Britain made history with two more gold medals and a silver on the final day of competition to confirm their status as the world's leading rowing nation.

With four golds - and an incredible nine medals in total from an unprecedented 13 finalists - London 2012 was Great Britain's most successful Olympic regatta ever.

The men's coxless four crew led from start to finish to cross in 6 minutes, 3.97 seconds. Australia was a half-length behind in second and the United States took the bronze.

Mark Hunter and Zac Purchase won silver, but lost their Olympic title in the men's lightweight double sculls to Denmark and were still inconsolable hours after a race of high drama.

In the Velodrome, Britain's newest cycling heroines paid tribute to the support team which keeps them ahead of the game as they won gold in a thunderous atmosphere in the velodrome.

Speaking after the success in the women's team pursuit - which not only saw the trio win gold but also set their third world record of the day - Joanna Rowsell said Team GB's preparation gave them an advantage over other nations.

She said that everybody from support staff to mechanics played their part: 'Other nations have really raised their game so it's great that we are leading the way.

'You never want to be complacent but we had had a great day and I felt we had more to give coming into the final race.

'The atmosphere was tremendous and the crowd helped drive us on.'

The trio completed a remarkable achievement as they set a third record of the day to take gold in the 3km competition.

They beat a strong US team in the final with a time of three minutes, 14 seconds. Canada took bronze.

Although Saturday was largely a day of celebration for Team GB, Zac Purchase and Mark Hunter's silver medal was tinged with disappointment as they were narrowly pipped to gold.

The seat broke on Purchase and Hunter's boat less than a hundred yards into their race, causing calamity for the British pair as the contest had to be restarted.

It looked like the duo were remarkably going to hang on for gold only to be pipped in the final few yards by Denmark.

Britain, the reigning world champion, maintained its dominance of the discipline that stretches back more than two decades to the days of rowing greats Steve Redgrave and Matthew Pinsent.

The gold was Britain's seventh medal of the regatta - and third gold - to surpass its total from Beijing four years ago, making it the country's biggest rowing haul in the modern era.

Their victory also denied Australia's Drew Ginn a fourth gold in four Olympic Games - a feat that would have been a first for an Australian.

Triggs Hodge, the British stroke, repeatedly punched the air after sealing victory and the four crew members got in a huddle on the jetty after climbing out of the boat.

The Australians and the British then embraced, a friendly ending to months of mind games and trash talk by the rival crews.

Ginn said Australia would turn the final into a 'drag race,' going out hard from the start, but it was Britain which took the early lead by 0.3 seconds after 500 meters.

The cushion was 0.6 seconds at the 1,000 and 1,500-meter markers and Britain held on comfortably as they were roared home by the crowd, winning by 1.22 seconds.

The coxless four crew was also cheered on by Lieutenant Reed's fellow sailors and Royal Marines who are embarked on HMS Bulwark providing Games security in Weymouth.

Reed said: 'The hours we do, the pain - it was all worth it in the end.'

A bewildered Copeland said: 'I can't believe this is real - that we just won the Olympics.'

A little help from my friends: The cyclists were cheered on by Paul McCartney, following his appearance at the Opening Ceremony last Friday

She took them out several weeks ago in her attempt to tone down her heavily made up appearance.

But it seems that Kim Kardashian missed her beloved hair extensions so much, that she has had them put back in.

The 31-year-old reality star revealed her longer locks via her Twitter page yesterday.

They're back! Kim Kardashian had her favourite hair extensions put back in yesterday, and shared the look with her fans via Twitter

Pouting for the camera in a self-snap, she wrote 'Long locks, I really missed you.'

Kim also shared that she had lightened her locks with a few lighter brown pieces, asking her fans what they thought about the new look.

'Longer & lighter hair for the summer...do you like?' she wrote.


Long and lighter: The reality star also had some light brown pieces put in her long mane

Self snaps all around: Kim tweeted the pictures from a day on set and posed happily with her make-up artist in another self portrait

The raven-haired beauty also appeared to have had some new long feathered eyelash extensions applied as well.

While Kim's hair was perfectly coiffed, the same may not be said about her skin.
While the TV star's complexion is usually completely flawless, she appeared to be suffering from a spot of bother.

Usually taut and smooth, her forehead looked to be a victim of a pesky breakout, perhaps a result of a recent facial.

KarDASHian: Yesterday, the full length of Kim's hair was revealed as she dashed to her car following a gym session

Kim tweeted the pictures from a day on set and posed happily with her make-up artist in another self portrait.

'On set with @realmakeupbymario aka @makeupbymario on twitter! So complicated lol,' she wrote.

Kim had her locks coloured on Thursday, and reportedly sat in the hair salon for a reported five hours for the ordeal.

The raven-locked reality star emerged after getting a snip (and presumably a few other indulgences), with glossy waves tumbling around her shoulders.

The marathon trip was par for the course for Kim, however, being is known to keep herself perfectly primped and polished for the camera.

Long session: Kim had her locks coloured on Thursday, and reportedly sat in the hair salon for a reported five hours for the ordeal

The multihyphenate was photographed sitting in a salon chair while a female stylist combed her finger's through her freshly dried hair.

And while most would take the moment to tune the world out, it seemed Kim was reluctant to relax, clinging to her iPhone and making sure it didn't die out with a charger attached in a nearby socket.

Kim appeared to have had a pedicure as well, holding her feet up with tissue paper tucked between her toes to prevent the polish from sticking.

The way it was: Kim's hair before fell just below her shoulders

Not one to skimp on beauty treatments when out or at home, as she walked out of the West Hollywood salon she carried a bag of Kevin Murphy products.

Somewhat out of character, she juggled her heels alongside her phone and handbag, hobbling to the car barefoot, lest she smudge her pedicure.

Kim, who some might say is a modern-day bombshell, surely enjoyed the pampering session after an exhausting day on set for a recent fashion photoshoot.

Earlier this week, she likened herself to Sophia Loren as she tweeted an array of pictures of herself slipping into costume.

Pared down look: Since dating her rapper boyfriend Kanye, Kim had somewhat pared down the hair and make-up regime

'I love playing dress up,' she wrote on her Twitter page, with the accompanying snap of herself in a shimmering silver backless dress.

Earlier she posted a picture of herself puckering up her lips in front of the mirror, her hair, sans her usual extensions, coiffed into a bouffant style.

'Finding my inner Sophia Loren,' she mused.

It seems that the consequences Of Kristen Stewart's actions are continuing to sink in... and hard.

After moving out of the Los Angeles home she shares with boyfriend Robert Pattinson following the expose of her steamy affair with married director Rupert Sanders, the Twilight star is said to be in pieces.

The 22-year-old is reportedly staying with her former producer Giovanni Agnelli at his Sunset Plaza abode.

A mess: Kristen Stewart is said to be in pieces as the full consequences of her affair with married director Rupert Sanders continue to sink in

The Welcome To The Rileys movie maker offered the actress a place to stay after she moved her belongings out of her and Robert's Hollywood Hills home last week, according to Radaronline.com.

Holed up in his apartment complex and terrified to face the pubic, the actress is said to be beside herself.

'Kristen is acting like a heartbroken teenager,' a source told the website.

Heartbroken: The 22-year-old cannot comprehend what life would be like without boyfriend Robert Pattinson

'She is crying her eyes out non-stop and does not want to communicate with anyone.

According to insiders, Kristin is terrified that she has lost Rob forever, and that there is no going back for the pair, following her affair with the Snow White And The Huntsman director.

'She is beyond mortified and humiliated and she is also broken hearted,' the source says.

'She says she truly loved Rob. She says he was her soul mate, but she blew it and now she is scared that she has lost him forever.

Tawdry: Kristen's affair with Snow White And The Huntsman director Sanders was exposed over a week ago

'She is pretty much inconsolable.'

The devastated star is said to be so upset that she has not showered in several days and is gorging on ice-cream.

'Kristen hasn't showered or changed or washed her hair in several days,' the source told Radaronline.

'She is laying around in her T-shirt and shorts and eating ice cream. She really wants to believe that she can win back Rob, but I think deep down she knows that isn't the case.'

Time apart: Both Kristen and Robert have moved out of the LA home that they share together

Kristin and her new roommate Agnelli appear to be close, and he has so far been very supporting of the Twilight star.

Last week Agnelli defended the actress in a bizarre series of tweets, claiming her affair with Sanders was not sexual.

'I'll say right now what the manipulative media isn't saying... Kristen Stewart did not have any type of sex with Rupert Sanders,' he wrote.

New roommate: Kristen is currently staying with her Welcome To The Rileys producer Giovanni Agnelli, far right

Italian Agnelli took to Twitter to defend the starlet, who starred in his film Welcome To The Rileys.

'The spin that keeps growing on this story is staggering,' he wrote. 'There was NO on set affair. Stop printing LIES.'

However pictures may tell another story.

The full set of astonishing photographs which captured Kristen locked in a series of steamy encounters with married director Sanders were revealed yesterday.

The candid pictures lay bare the duplicitous pair's intimate betrayal of their respective partners, Pattinson and Sander's wife Liberty Ross, who have been left heartbroken in the wake of the scandal.

Rushing to her defense: Italian Agnelli took to Twitter to defend the starlet last week

Kristen and Rupert may have thought their afternoon of passion was being conducted away from prying eyes.

But unfortunately for them, July 17 marked the moment they were well and truly caught out.

Two weeks later the photographs - showing them kissing and hugging at secluded stop-offs around Los Angeles - were published in American magazine Us Weekly.

It saw Kristen's shy and retiring image turned upside down over night and caused outrage among devastated Twilight fans.

Not only has it left a dark stain on her reputation and - some say - tainted the Twilight franchise, but the scandal has thrown the spotlight on to Sanders.

The British director might be used to standing behind the camera - but, along with Kristen, he has been thrust centre stage of the resulting media onslaught.

By his own admission, he is now 'praying' that he can ride the storm - and save his marriage to British Vogue model Liberty Ross, 33, who he has two young children with, Skyla and Tennyson.

At 19 years Kristen's senior, some have pointed the finger more firmly at the 41-year-old filmmaker for engaging her young and impressionable sensibilities.

Whatever the case, the pair were each forced into a remorseful public apology - making it the first time Kristen has ever acknowledged her four-year relationship with 26-year-old R-Patz.

She called it a 'momentary indiscretion', conceding the fling had 'jeopardised the most importantthing in my life, the person I love and respect the most...'

Gushing, in a very unlike-Kristen way, she pleaded: 'Rob. I love him, I love him, I'm so sorry.'

Sanders referred to his 'beautiful wife and heavenly children,' adding: 'I love them with all my heart. I am praying that we can get through this together.'

More than a week on from the news breaking, the torrid tale has generated a constant stream of headlines, while the question still remains as to how the story will resolve.

Pattinson, who remains in hiding, is said to be taking the news hard - and drowning his sorrows.

People.com reported this week that Robert has been 'drinking and relying on friends to deal with the pain'.

After moving out of his LA love nest with Kristen, the actor sought refuge at his Water For Elephants co-star Reese Witherspoon's Ojai ranch in California.

Liberty, who played Kristen's on-screen mother in the Huntsman, meanwhile, is said to have banned Rupert from ever working with Kristen again.

It's cast doubt on whether he will get to helm the rumoured sequel movie.

As for R-Patz and K-Stew, they still have a final film to promote in November, Breaking Dawn Part 2.

No doubt the studio behind the blockbuster franchise - Summit Entertainment - is praying the pair stick it out for one last red carpet hurrah.

After putting in years of work to bring the Olympics to London you would think David Beckham would be glued to his television screen.

But the English legend preferred to show off his riding skills today as he took his custom built 93 Knucklehead for a spin in Los Angeles.

The midfielder looked quite the bad boy as he zoomed through the streets of Venice astride his classic chopper.

Knucklehead: David Beckham showed off his chopper as he zoomed through the streets of Los Angeles today

All the hoopla that followed the 37-year-old's appearance at the opening ceremony of the event last week seemed to have been forgotten as he enjoyed a relaxing lunch in the trendy Venice Beach area.

Much was made of the fact he was left out of the Great Britain Olympic football squad, despite the fact the past-his-best star is playing in the much maligned MLS in the U.S.

However his work to get the UK selected as the host nation was rewarded, as he got to pretend to steer the speedboat carrying the Olympic flame to Sir Steve Redgrave during the opening ceremony, who then ran the torch into the stadium.

The former Manchester United player looked far removed from the traditional biker image of leather jacket and jeans.

Instead he donned a pair white trousers, brown shoes, black T-shirt and a suede coat.

Unusual riding attire: David's outfit would certainly not have past muster with Arthur Fonzarelli

But it seems David had a good excuse not to be home watching the sport, as he needs all the practice he can get for a road trip with foul-mouthed chef Gordon Ramsay.

According to the Daily Mirror, the big bike enthusiasts will embark on a 382-mile trip along the Pacific Coast Highway, from Los Angeles to San Francisco.

Goldenballs will ride his custom-built 93 Knucklehead, while Ramsay will be on his £20,000 Harley Davidson motorcycle.

But he is not the only big name David likes to ride with - he's also joined Tom Cruise for a spin in the past.

The macho pair started the Midnight Boys Bike Club at the end of 2010, so they can enjoy sessions in the Hollywood Hills together.
