Matthew McConaughey can’t wait to sink his teeth into roles that ‘turn him on’ following his Oscar win.

The 44-year-old actor won an Academy Award for his role in Dallas Buyers Club earlier this year and ever since, the offers have been pouring in!

When asked what had changed since winning his Oscar, he said, ”People respond ‘yes’ to RSVPs more often and more quickly.”

The actor added, ”What has really changed is that I am getting more scripts, I’ve got more choices which is great coming off of that. If anything it’s giving me more opportunities, more things to choose from, which I’m embracing.

”And in the middle of getting much more I can more easily now personally ask myself ‘what do I want to do that turns me on? What experience am I going to get out of it?’ So yeah I am getting a lot of things.”

While anticipation is building for Kim Kardashian’s big day, Vera Wang decided to share her excitement over her most recent creation, Kim’s wedding dress.

Vera didn’t reveal too much about the dress itself, but did say it will be an all-time high in her designer career.

“I think it will be a momentous fashion statement.”

Wang then went on to give her approval for Kimye’s recent Vogue cover, especially the dress Kim wore for the issue.

“I loved the cover. I thought it was beautiful. I think it was a more minimalist Kim.”

While Vera wouldn’t reveal anything about the Parisian wedding, Wang said it was essential that Kim felt comfortable and confident on her big day.

“I think that for a bride it’s about how you feel most confident and that’s the most important thing. I’d like to see Kim wear whatever really, really makes her happy.”

This isn’t the first time Vera has worked with Kim, as the famous designer previously created three extravagant wedding dresses for her Kim’s wedding ceremony to Kris Humphries in 2011.

Chia
This seed is not only rich in omega-3 and can be added to any drink from juices, smoothies to even some breakfast cereals.

Meat Cookies
Meat cookies are actually a thing and of course, are a great source of protein. These cookies are made from grass-fed meat, nuts, seeds and berries. Odd combination but they’re filling.

Seeds
Not exactly weird or new but seeds are definitely taking everywhere by storm. Brilliant for topping a bowl of porridge and you can easily find various bags of mixed seeds in your local supermarket.

Pea Protein
Soy beans and whey is out and pea protein is apparently back in. It can be found in your nearest health store. Pea based protein is not only gluten-free but also high in amino acids and iron.

Veggie Smoothies
Not as delicious as its fruit counterpart but veggie smoothies definitely ensure that you get your much needed dose of veg. To make it easier to drink, it’s ok to add some of your favourite fruits in the mix too.

Coconut Oil
A new way to sauté your veggies. Not only does it smell great and gives your food an extra kick, coconut oil is full of good fats and antioxidants. If that wasn’t enough, coconut oil has now been proven to give your immune system a much needed boost.

Emma Willis broke down in tears when talking about her husband Matt Willis’ time in rehab.

The 38-year-old star opened up about their relationship as the couple were interviewed by Fearne Cotton for her new documentary series Fearne and McBusted. 

Emma, who has been married to the McBusted star since 2008, revealed that she stuck by the singer through it all.

She said, “He went to rehab when I’d known him for three months. We hadn’t known each other for very long and I was kind of in this whirlwind with him.

“You don’t really think about it, then more time goes along and he went in again.”

A tearful Emma added, “This isn’t a kid that needs a couple of weeks’ break, it’s someone who genuinely has a problem.

“I’m not going to leave him because he has a problem. You have to stick together and get through it.”

Matt was first admitted to The Priory in 2005 for alcohol abuse and was re-admitted in 2006 for an addiction to cannabis.

In 2008, the year the couple got married, Emma sent the star back to the clinic after his boozing got out of control.

The new fly-on-the-wall documentary sees Fearne chat to the band’s family and friends in a series of tell-all interviews.

OK, we’re being very nosey but…

The net worth of Ireland’s most famous celebrities has been revealed – and we’re just dying to know!

According to The Sunday Times’ 26th Annual Rich List, Irish mega band U2 still has the top spot of Ireland’s richest entertainers with a fortune of €516 million.

Lend us a few quid Bono…

Larry and the lads are closely followed by Lord of the Dance Michael Flatley, who takes second place with a cool €233 million.

We knew we should have kept up those Irish Dancing lessons!

Irish singer/songwriter, Enya, is ‘sailing away’ with around €106million.

One Direction star Niall Horan entered the list for the first time last year and, at only 20-years-old, is already sitting pretty with a net worth of €17 million.

1D still have a lot of catching up to do to take over from U2, however, as their combined wealth is a mere €84 million!

Former Girls Aloud singer Nadine Coyle has remained the same as last year with a net worth of €7milliion. Not too shabby!

The chart of Britain and Ireland’s top 50 music millionaires is in the Sunday Times Rich List 2014 this weekend.

His friends are your friends
He genuinely goes out of his way to make sure that you feel a part of his group.

He remembers
It could be something you said in passing or something extremely important but he remembers every detail. From your favourite ice-cream flavour to that all important anniversary.

You can tell him anything
Whether you’re having a crappy day or just need some reassurance, he will know what to do to make you feel better.

Regular contact
With some guys the basic form of communication can often feel like your pulling teeth, but with him, he always knows when to contact you and you don’t even have to ask.

You’re constantly bragging about him
Your poor friends are probably sick of hearing about him at this stage, but you can’t help it, he seems too good to be true.

Makes an effort
Whether he tries to get along with your friends, learns more about your interests or simply wants to ask about your day, he really does make an effort to get to know you.

Ever since Zooey Deschanel first appeared in Elf, our love for her has simply grown. She has a gorgeous, retro style that we all lust over, especially those eyes – her eyes are simply stunning!

While a lot of it is down to genes, there is a way to achieve her look with make-up.

Base
Make sure you moisturise your skin to give it that dewy look we all lust after. An illuminating moisturiser is great if you have one.

Foundation
Zooey never looks caked in make-up, so make sure you don’t over-do it on the foundation. A creamy foundation is a must as it will allow you to accentuate Zooey’s immaculate dewy skin.

Eyebrows
Full, neat brows are a must so fill those brows in.

Eyeshadow
To achieve the New Girl star’s gorgeous eyes, start with a nude colour eyeshadow and apply a little gold for definition.

Eyeliner
Zooey’s eyes are always popping so use your liquid eyeliner across the top and bottom eye rims.

Mascara
Finish your eyes off with lashings of mascara for full lashes.

Blusher
Make those cheeks pop by sweeping rose blusher across them.

Lips
Finish the look off with a coat of clear or subtle pink gloss.

Beyonce, Jay Z and Solange have released a joint statement addressing the now infamous elevator showdown video.

“As a result of the public release of the elevator security footage from Monday, May 5th, there has been a great deal of speculation about what triggered the unfortunate incident. But the most important thing is that our family has worked through it,” they said in a statement.

“Jay and Solange each assume their share of responsibility for what has occurred. They both acknowledge their role in this private matter that has played out in the public. They both have apologized to each other and we have moved forward as a united family.

“The reports of Solange being intoxicated or displaying erratic behavior throughout that evening are simply false. At the end of the day families have problems and we’re no different. We love each other and above all we are family. We’ve put this behind us and hope everyone else will do the same,” the statement said.

Meanwhile, the person who sold the footage reportedly got a cool $250,000 pay day from TMZ!

Is this really the end of it now? Only time will tell…

1. Good for your immune system
Apparently, sexually active people take fewer sick days and have higher levels of what defends your body against germs, viruses, and other intruders!

2. Boosts your libido
It’s a Catch 22 kind of situation – having sex apparently improves your libido, which in turn is good for your health.

3. Improves your bladder control
Good sex is like a workout for your pelvic floor muscles. When you have an orgasm, it causes contractions in those muscles, which strengthens them. Good to know for somewhere down the line.

4. Lowers your blood pressure
Research suggests a link between sex and lower blood pressure. But why do we feel so flustered afterwards then?!

5. Counts as exercise
Sex is a really great form of exercise. It won’t replace the treadmill, but it definitely counts for something. Sex uses about five calories per minute, four more calories than watching TV. It gives you a one-two punch: It bumps up your heart rate and uses various muscles.

6. Good for your heart
A good sex life is good for your heart. Besides being a great way to raise your heart rate, sex helps keep your estrogen and testosterone levels in balance. When either one of those is low you begin to get lots of problems, like osteoporosis and even heart disease.

7. Lessens pain
Before you reach for an aspirin, try for an orgasm instead.  Studies have shown that orgasms can block pain. It releases a feel-good hormone that helps raise your pain threshold.

8. Reduces risk of cancer
In men that is. Studies have claimed that men who ejaculated frequently (at least 21 times a month) were less likely to get prostate cancer.

9. Improves sleep
You may nod off more quickly after sex, and for good reason. After orgasm, the hormone prolactin is released, which is responsible for the feelings of relaxation and sleepiness. Sound familiar?

10. Eases stress
Being close to your partner can soothe stress and anxiety. Touching and hugging can release your body’s natural feel-good hormone and a brain chemical that revs up your brain’s pleasure and reward system.

You would think after everything that has occurred on Instagram for James Franco, he would stay away from the social media site.

But no, the actor has decided to let off some steam surrounding that controversial sequel of Spring Breakers.

James made it perfectly clear that he did approve of the new film and what was being done to Harmony’s creation.

“STATEMENT ABOUT SPRING BREAKERS 2: This is not being done with Harmony Korine or my consent. The original was wholly Harmony’s creation and these producers are capitalizing on that innovative film to make money on a weak sequel. I want everyone to know that whoever is involved in the sequel is jumping on board a poison ship. It will be a terrible film, with a horrible reason d’être: to make money off someone else’s creativity. Can you imagine someone making the sequel to Taxi Driver without Scorcese and DeNiro’s consents? Insanity! I’m speaking up for Harmony and his original vision and for any creative person who cares about preserving artistic integrity.”

While it’s admirable that James is sticking up for Harmony, as the film’s sequel is being done without her consent.

We think that maybe James should calm it down on Instagram for a little while anyways, especially his questionable selfies.
