It looks like it’s all over for Christina Milian and her fiancé, Jas Prince.

US Weekly have reported that the relationship was ended last month and that the singer moved her stuff out of the family home yesterday.

Christina and Jas began dating in 2010 and got engaged in April of last year, when she was seen with a massive (and beautiful) diamond ring.

The AM to PM singer has an adorable four-year-old daughter, Violet, with her former partner The-Dream.

Sad news for Christina and her family, break-ups are never easy.

With Body and Soul starting this weekend, it won’t be long until the summer festivals are well and truly in full swing.

If you are heading to any festivals this summer, you will do well to read these tips to ensure you leave the festival healthy!

Don’t forget your vitamins
Spending the weekend eating burgers, chips and crisps won’t give you a hell of a lot of vitamins, so make sure you stock up on them before and during the weekend.

Bring some fruit
We know, we know, the last thing you want taking away any limited alcohol space in your bag is fruit, but you will thank yourself if you bring it. A couple of apples and orange are great and the juice content is perfect for when you are feeling, shall we say, hungover?!

Granola bars
We all know breakfast is the most important meal of the day and no a day old pizza does not count as brekkie. Pop a few granola bars in your backpack and munch on them in the morning and throughout the day for energy.

Water
Make sure you drink lots and lots of water, especially if it is exceptionally hot outside. If you don’t fancy spending a fortune on bottled water bring your own – you will definitely thank us for this tip.

Hand sanitizer
And finally, don’t whatever you do go to a festival without bringing your hand sanitizer – have you ever seen a port-a-loo after three days of use by thousands of people…

Look, we’re not used to it ok? Cut us some slack and understand that when the sun comes out, we will lose our minds. Here are some things Irish people are known to do in those odd moments of sunshine:

1. Say things like “I’m going to get a great colour”
Yes, two choices: burgundy or scarlet. Which one are you?

giphy2. Build terrible homemade pools
Leaks, leaks everywhere…

Please put away the baby oil. Please!

fPUUf4. Apply loads of tan afterwards so people think you got a lovely colour
Wow, that doesn’t look fake at all…

5. Chase the ice-cream man whose prices have risen with every degree
Remember when a 99 cone used to cost 99c and not €2? Them were the days…

6. Guys wearing their GAA shorts as swimming trunks
Yes, they do go see-through.

7. Complain about the heat constantly
Jesus though, it’s too warm isn’t it? Heh?

Ahh pier jumping – nothing says summer like hurling yourself into a dodgy harbour.

It’s not even 20 degrees…

10. Ice-cream suddenly becoming a staple part of your diet
Suddenly eating four ice-creams a day becomes a totally okay thing to do.

While we are normally fans of Kelly’s adventurous hairstyles – from dying it lilac to her edgy undercut – this we are not so sure about.

The Fashion Police presenter uploaded an image of her hairstyle for an event yesterday evening and was obviously much more impressed by it than we are…

Kelly wrote: #obsessed with my hair tonight.”

We love the mini plaits as well as Kelly’s great colour, it’s the safety pins that are the problem.

There is something very ’90s grunge about them, but maybe that was what she was going for?!

What do you think of Kel’s latest hair adventure?

Glendalough’s beautiful landscape and rich history makes it the perfect spot for a picnic day out with your friends.

GurteenBay in Roundstone, Galway
This is one of Ireland’s most picturesque spots, offering breathtaking views of Inish Laken Island and the Atlantic Ocean. It’s the perfect spot for a romantic outdoor lunch.

Gabriel Iglesias who featured in Magic Mike has revealed that Matthew McConaughey isn’t likely to return for the sequel.

By the sounds of it, Iglesias might be the slightest bit jealous of McConaughey’s Oscar success for his role in Dallas Buyers Club:

“Word has it Matthew is probably not going to be involved in this one, because he’s worth a lot of money… that whole Oscar thing, the nerve right?”

We can all breathe a sigh of relief though, because the main man Channing Tatum is already preparing for his return:

“I’m about to start training for Magic Mike XXL and it’s back to the monotony of chicken and broccoli.

Your house smells of broccoli for months. There’s no fun. There’s no sugar. There’s nothing I’m more addicted to than sugar.”

Eeek – we’re not sure we could live on chicken and broccoli, but we certainly appreciate the results when Channing does!

Magic Mike XXL is scheduled for release in July 2015.

January Jones has received backlash over a photograph she uploaded to her Instagram account yesterday.

The Mad Men actress uploaded this picture with the caption: “I finally found it! #tbt to my first paid ‘modeling’ gig for a knitting magazine in South Dakota.”

Many of January’s followers were incensed by the image, calling it ‘racist’ and prompting the actress to remove the photo from her account.

She later acknowledged her removal of the photo, saying: “I had to swap my #tbt pics because I was receiving to many negative comments and assumptions. #thisforumshouldbeahappyandfunplaceihavenopatienceforhate.”

The founder and CEO of American Apparel, Dov Charney, has been fired by the company’s board of directors after spending years fighting sexual harassment allegations.

The company released a press statement saying that they had decided to: “terminate his employment as president and CEO for cause.”

Don first founded American Apparel as T-shirt business back in 1991.

The company soon grew a huge fan base both in America and abroad.

However, since its formation Dov has faced constant sexual harassment claims from his female employees, which he usually managed to dismiss or settle.

But it seems the company could no longer ignore the sexual harassment surrounding Don and made the decision to oust him on Thursday.

“We take no joy in this, but the Board felt it was the right thing to do. Dov Charney created American Apparel, but the Company has grown much larger than any one individual and we are confident that its greatest days are still ahead.”

Board members, Allan Mayer and David Danziger, have been appointed as co-chairmen of the company, while the future of American Apparel has still yet to be decided.

If you remember the glorious summers of the ’90s, than you no doubt remember cooling down with a delicious Fat Frog.

While HB no longer makes the delicious ice lolly, they have hinted that our favourite treat might be making a comeback next summer!

Radio station, Spin 103.8 were tweeting the ice cream brand about their Funny Feet ice lolly, when one Twitter user questioned if the frog shaped ice pop will ever be ever returning to our stores.

HB replied to the user and said “anything is possible”, we hope that means a yes, because we will definitely need something nice to cool down with if we get another heat wave in 2015.
