Are you wearing X Factor 50? Pasty Jedward catch some sun with Tara Reid in St Tropez

It was less American Pie and more American Thigh as Jedward showed their national support to their new best friend Tara Reid by wearing shorts featuring the U.S. flag.
The unlikely pairing were spotted sunning it up in St Tropez, South France this weekend, and clearly enjoyed themselves as they larked about on the beach.
Let's just hope Jedward put plenty of suntan lotion on as the Irish pair look decidedly pasty alongside the tanned actress.

The trio wore matching fedoras and took pictures of themselves on the sandy beach.

Wearing a green top, sunglasses and denim hot pants, she cut a pretty figure but was outshone in the fashion stakes by the quirky pair.

The eccentric X-Factor stars coupled their matching American flag shorts with short sleeved checked shirts and ties, but wore different coloured trainers and sunglasses.
After walking up and down the beach, they decided to chill off by embarking on a boat ride.
Reid posted on her Twitter page: 'I'm with@planetjedward in st.tropez we all say hi to everyone and that we hope you are having a great day!'

 

Topping up their tan: The trio enjoyed themselves as they caught some sun and larked about on the beach and pier

The Irish pop stars, real names John and Edward Grimes, struck up a friendship with the Hollywood actress when they appeared in last year's Celebrity Big Brother.
And they have enjoyed several trips together, including a previous trip to St Tropez earlier this month.
There is no three's company for this trio, and they also met up last week at posh London restaurant C.

She wrote: 'The ultimate team is back together with @planetjedward we are in london on our way to st.tropez tomorrow for the weekend! Xoxo.'
