King Colin arrives home in London... but did Oscar get his own seat on the plane?

Homecoming: Oscar winner Colin Firth and his wife Livia Giuggioli arrive at Heathrow Terminal 5 after their flight from Los Angeles


A triumphant Colin Firth returned home to England yesterday following his Oscar win.
The actor, 50, looked happy to be back in London after his long-haul flight from Los Angeles.

Accompanied by his Italian wife Livia Giuggioli, Firth was wheeling a small suitcase behind him - presumably containing his gold Academy Award - through Heathrow's Terminal 5.

No doubt Firth would have kept his precious Oscar on the plane with him rather than entrust it to baggage.

His wife Livia, 41, looked thrilled to be back in the UK, writing on her Twitter: 'Sooo nice to be home.'

As well as being able to enjoy their home comforts at their Chiswick, South-West London, home, the couple will also be able to spend more quality time with their two children Luca, nine, and Matteo, seven.

Over the past few months, Firth has travelled back and forth between the U.S. and Europe, attending premieres of The King's Speech and award ceremonies.

Prior to his triumph at Sunday's Hollywood ceremony, he has also picked up a Bafta, Golden Globe, a Screen Actors' Guild award and the British Independent Film Award for Best Actor, among many others.

But Firth is unlikely to get too much time to recover - he's due to resume filming on his latest movie Michael Winterbottom's The Promised Land in Israel.

He also has several more films in the pipeline, including Gambit and Stoker.

He has already completed Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy - the adaptation of the John Le Carre novel - which is due for release in September.

The film - directed by Tomas Alfredson - also stars Gary Oldman, Tom Hardy, Benedict Cumberbatch and Mark Strong.

Heidi Klum publicly removes her underwear at awards party for Jay Leno

Will these do? Heidi Klum pulls up her dress as she prepares to remove her underwear for Jay Leno's Oscars night celebrity goody bag


This is definitely not the sort of behaviour we'd expect from the ever-dignified supermodel Heidi Klum.

But clearly the excitement of being part of one of the biggest post-Oscars party had become all too much for her - so she decided to take off her knickers.

Klum was a guest at Sir Elton John's annual AIDS Foundation Oscar party and had arrived looking elegant and dazzling in her Julien MacDonald gown.

But just a few hours later, all her grace appeared to go out of the window when she was approached by Ross Matthews, the reporter for The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

Matthews, 31, was inside the party, the first time he'd been given access beyond the red carpet outside.

The reporter decided to go from celebrity guest to celebrity guest asking them to contribute something for a goody bag for Leno.

Glee star Jane Lynch offered her Visa card - which 'unfortunately' had a $2,000-per-day limit, and Hayden Panatierre gave a napkin with her lip print on.

But Heidi, 37, decided she would give the chat show host something a little more personal.

After Matthews stopped to ask her, she rooted through her tiny clutch bag and said: 'I don't have a lot in here that I can give you.'

But then she added: 'Oh, you can have my underwear. Wait, do you want my underwear?', before she wriggled out of her G-string.

She then dropped it in the bag as Matthews laughed and said: 'Jay will like that.'

Thankfully, husband Seal, who had accompanied her to the party, was out of sight when she behaved in the unladylike fashion.

She was almost outdone by former Beverly Hills actress Tori Spelling who said: 'If I had a glass of wine, I'd be so tempted to take my crotchless spanx off right now.'

Matthews then advised her she might want to consider underwear if she's going to stand on mirrored floors in future.
