Who's a beautiful baby? Zara's niece gets an excited cuddle from mummy
Her demeanour might well have been one of dignity and elegance for her sister-in-law Zara Phillips' wedding yesterday.
However today, Autumn Phillips showed off an all together more unguarded and loving side as she planted a kiss on the cheek of her adorable baby daughter as they left the Holyroodhouse.
Savannah looked delighted and grinned as her mother lifted her into the air and landed her lips on the little one's face.
Smooch: Peter Phillips' wife Autumn plants a smacker on the cheek of their baby daughter Savannah as they leave the Palace of Holyroodhouse after the wedding of Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall

Oh baby! Autumn chats with a policeman outside Holyroodhouse the day after the wedding, as baby Savannah looks on with curiosity
The youngster was also captured staring curiously at a policeman who chatted casually with her mother as they waited outside the wedding reception venue.
They were joined by a smiling Peter Phillips who looked relaxed as he loaded his family's belongings into a waiting car, including Savannah's buggy.

Zara Phillips: wedding to Mike Tindall was amazing but sad I'm not on honeymoon
Zara, who will still be known by her maiden name, said: ''The day was amazing and to have all of your friends there in one place, for both of us, was the best part of it.
''Unfortunately both of us do have quite busy lives so it's going to have to wait a bit for a honeymoon, but it is quite nice to go back to work as well.
''We're kind of missing the quiet period where we can catch up and have some sleep. It's back to work and that's what we do.''
She said the day had been nerve-wracking, adding: ''Everyone looked really serious when I walked in.''
Zara Phillips’ wedding dress….granny-chic?
We were taken aback by Kate’s dress choice as she stayed true to her homeland but chose a designer so eccentric, the fashion population couldn’t help but choke with happiness. She broke free from the quintessential shackles of ‘well-behaved’ royal wedding wear, and chose to let her fashion personality coyly peep through her silk tulle McQueen veil. But for me, equestrienne Zara’s novel approach to selecting her wedding dress truly defines the term ‘granny chic.’ She only went and chose Stewart Parvin, her grandmother’s regular (and favourite) outfitter and the very man who kitted out Queenie on the day.
OK, to the dress: a fussy silk tulle cathedral veil which appeared to oddly sprout from the top of Zara’s head rather than fall gently onto her face wasn’t the most appealing first view as she stepped out from the car, but things improved slightly as we focused lower down. The dress itself; a silk faille and duchess satin creation with a corseted waistline appeared flattering, but averagely exciting. It didn’t give me the sudden I-will-replicate-very-dress-for my-wedding-day moment as I got with Kate’s.
For a person considered something of a royal rebel this wedding dress was a safe choice. Maybe Zara was sending out a silent message, that by keeping it low key she wanted to avoid direct comparisons with wedding dress limelight outlaw, Kate. Or maybe being 13th in the line of succession to the throne means you’re in no rush to charm the public into ‘accepting’ you as the future queen with your choice of needlework or dress cut.
But critics will refer and compare Zara’s sartorial shrewdness to that of Kate’s, and will measure, inch for inch, the godliness that Sarah Burton’s touch brought to Kate’s big day with that of humble Edinburgh College of Art educated Parvin’s. Even though Kate’s dress was phenomenal in comparison, for me it’s a case of creating a fresh legacy that will have us recalling Zara Phillips as the woman who made grannies fashionable again.

Jersey Shore' isn't affecting how nation views N.J., poll says
Here's the real situation: It turns out MTV's "Jersey Shore" isn't killing New Jersey's reputation after all.
A new nationwide poll finds the reality show about a group of hard-drinking, foul-mouthed 20-somethings at a beach house in Seaside Heights may even be helping a bit by bringing attention to the real Jersey shore.
The Fairleigh Dickinson University PublicMind poll, released today, found no statistical difference between those who have seen the show and those who haven't.
It also found that the series is drawing attention to the state's 127 miles of beaches and generating positive buzz for the Garden State as a whole.
"The show isn't hurting the nation's view of the state," said Peter Woolley, director of the poll. "In fact, it may be promoting one of the state's best features — not Snooki, but the shore itself. It seems to me viewers are looking past The Situation to the shore scene itself."
The poll found that 43 percent of those who have seen the show have a favorable opinion of New Jersey, while 41 percent who've never seen it also think New Jersey is great.
Michelle Diaz of Philadelphia was strolling the Seaside Heights boardwalk Friday with two friends when they happened upon Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino during a break from that day's taping of the show.
JWoww, Snooki & Pauly D Get MTV Spin-Offs
Well this was a shore thing.
With the huge success of MTV’s Jersey Shore, it’s no surprise that fans would be clamoring for a little more quality GTL (Gym, Tanning, Laundry) time with the shows breakout stars. Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, Paul “Pauly D” Delvecchio and Jenni “JWoww” Farley are currently filming season 4 of Jersey Shore in Italy and are scheduled to return to Seaside Heights this summer to film a fifth season with their fellow Guidoes and Guidettes that could be their last.
Snooki, JWoww and Pauly D have all inked deals with MTV to star in their own 12-episode spin-offs set to air sometime in 2012. “We’re excited to put the spotlight on their lives away from the shore as they pursue their individual passions, careers and relationships,” Chris Linn, MTV’s executive vice president of programming and head of production, said of the spin-offs. “Both series are fun, fresh ways for us to evolve what is an already successful brand for us.”

The first spin-off will star BFFs Snooki and JWoww as they move into a $1.5 million house together. “It’s pretty much just the concept of me and Jenni being on our own without our roommates,” Snooki told MTV News. According to MTV:
“Snooks is finally moving out of her parents’ house and into a place with JWOWW—but she’s unprepared to deal with actual problems. The two have their sights set on a $1.5 million pad, but they don’t know what a mortgage is. Or how to write a check. Conflict erupts because Snooki ‘didn’t change the toilet paper.’ She also ‘ate a ton of JWOWW’s food.’”
Apparently the girls planned on moving into together after Jersey Shore, whether or not the cameras were rolling. “It was a concept before the show [was green-lit]. We legitimately just wanted to buy a house together,” JWoww revealed. “She wanted to get out of her dad’s, and I wanted to move out of the home that everyone could see on TV, so they were like, ‘Let’s shoot it!’ ”

Pauly D’s spin-off will follow the gel enthusiast jet-setting around the world as an in-demand DJ. “We threw around some ideas that maybe could be about my life, before the show and now after the show, maybe bring my entourage along,” he told MTV News. “It’ll be probably along the lines of, I used to be this DJ in Rhode Island, DJing two sets a week, hustling, promoting and all of a sudden, I’m on this show, and now they’re sending private jets for me to DJ for these huge crowds, yet I’m still the same guy that was DJing for 200 people, just loving life.”
“He’s distinguished himself onscreen as the fun-loving, well-coiffed and dependable guy you can’t help but want to hang out with,” said Linn. “We know viewers are curious about his life away from the shore, and we look forward to exploring new possibilities around that.”
