The Iggy Azalea divorce debacle just took a nasty turn.

Last week it was revealed that the singer’s former manager, Jefe Wine, was planning on bringing divorce proceedings against her, and now Iggy has revealed that extent of drama that’s going on behind-the-scenes.

Taking to her Twitter this evening, the Work singer blasted Wine and his lawyer, who has supposedly threatened to tell the media that she gave him an STD.

Well, Jefe, she beat you to it on that front.

In a series of tweets, Iggy revealed all, writing: “My lawyer agreed to be served “divorce” papers but they want to hire someone to serve me in person, probably so it can be another TMZ story.”

“I was also told yesterday via his lawyer if I do not settle out of court, they will go to the press and say I gave him an STD, what’s next?” she continued.

Alarmingly, the 24-year-old added: “I’ve avoided Texas entirely for the last five years. When I do go now, I have a police escort and two armed bodyguards, evidently for good reason.”

While the drama is clearly taking its toll on the singer – no thanks to Snoop Dogg for mocking her on social media – Iggy admitted that since details of Jefe’s claims became public, she has received a lot of “support”.

Let’s hope next week is a better one for Iggy!

There’s been quite a few nostalgic throwbacks recently to Vanity Fair’s classic ‘Raining Teens’ cover of 2003, which boasted nine of the biggest up-and-coming young female stars of the time.

With the likes of Amanda Bynes, the Olsens, Hilary Duff and Lindsay Lohan gracing the front page, it seems like the most glamorous photo shoot in the world.

But actress Evan Rachel Wood, who was one of the chosen nine, has revealed her horror at being treated like “meat” during the ordeal.

Opening up on the darker and more disturbing side of Hollywood, the actress took to Twitter to share her thoughts on the shoot.

“I was almost in tears after this shoot. They tried that dress on me, I wasn’t comfortable but they told me there was no time…cause everyone else took up too much time with their fittings,” began the Thirteen star.

The 27-year-old goes on to recount how she wasn’t allowed to wear flat shoes, and how the girls were then “all lined up, stared at and approved”.

She added: “I was 15 and felt for the first time my identity being erased and the pressure…to shut up and do what you are told. I felt like meat.”

We always looked back fondly on this iconic cover page. It just goes to show that you never know what’s really going on behind-the-scenes.

Heidi Klum is undoubtedly one of the most famous Victoria’s Secret Angels of all time, so we’re not in the slightest bit surprised to hear about her latest business venture.

The stunning model has revealed that she is now set to launch her own lingerie line.

The Heidi Klum ‘Intimates’ collection will be launching worldwide next January in a string of clothing chains including Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s, Selfridges and many more.

We’ll keep you guys posted as to where it will be available to purchase in Ireland!

The 41-year-old has teamed up with lingerie brand Bendon on the collaboration and, naturally, she will be the model and face of the line.

Heidi took to social media to share her delight at her new project, writing: “Super excited about this!!”

As well as being recognised as one of the world’s most beautiful and successful supermodels, Heidi has also demonstrated her presenting and producing talents during her long-term stints on TV shows Project Runway and Germany’s Next Top Model.

So, another amazing achievement for the model, and what sounds sure to be a gorgeous line.

We can’t wait for a sneak peek!

We love Lady Gaga and Madonna individually for what they have done for pop music, but it seems that the two stars just cannot seem to get along.

The latest round of their cat fight was launched by Gaga, who has slammed Madonna for not reaching out to younger artists.

The 28-year-old Artpop singer made the dig during a recent interview, in which she was asked who her biggest musical influences were.

The quirky star responded by naming legends David Bowie, Queen, Freddie Mercury and Michael Jackson among her idols, adding: “I would like to say Madonna, but let me tell you something – if I was an established artist, I would love to help younger artists.”

When the interviewer (rather hilariously) asked Gaga whether she meant that “Madonna has no soul”, the singer coyly responded: “You said it, not me!”

Catty much?

This is just the latest twist in the two singers’ long-running feud.

Earlier this year it appeared that Madonna sent Gaga a not-so-subtle message in her track Heartbreak City. Given how similarities have frequently been drawn between Born This Way and Express Yourself, many believed that when Madonna sings, “You’re a copycat, where is my royalty?” she is directing it at Gaga.

What will she have to say this time around, we wonder?

Hold the phone – Harry Styles wrote a song about Taylor Swift?!

Touché!

While we’re all still obsessing over Out of the Woods, Taylor’s supposed ode to ex-boyfriend Harry, it seems that the One Direction singer has put his thoughts on their romance into song too!

This is just too much.

According to reports today, Harry has penned a break-up song all about “the one that got away” – that’s Taylor – and it featured on a record by singing duo Alex & Sierra.

That’s not even the saddest part – the song is called I Love You.

The song is all about Harry’s regret over the failed romance, and includes such heart-breaking lyrics as: “I fell in love with a beautiful girl/ And she still takes my breath away”.

Guys, you are killing us here.

Just take a listen to the song below, and let us know your thoughts.

Could it be that Harry and Taylor’s love story isn’t over just yet? We’re secretly still rooting for them!

Last month we were treated to the first sneak peek of the new Hunger Games film, Mockingjay Part 1, which comes out on November 21st. 

Now a second preview has been released and it's even MORE epic, if that's possible.

In the trailer, titled Return to District 12, Katniss is on her own with no Gale or Peeta to watch over her – and The Capitol know exactly what they need to do to bring her down.

Lorde's new song Yellow Flicker Beat, written especially for the film, is a great match for this new, darker trailer. We can't wait to see the movie in full!

Ed Sheeran has always been refreshingly honest about his experience in Hollywood. When he was still struggling to make a name for himself, he remembers being ignored by people who had no interest in the twenty-three-old musician. “Everyone in LA introduces themselves with their first name, last name, what they do, how many awards they've won, how much they earn, but only if they know who you are.” Sounds fairly grim to us.
 

 

But fear not, Ed has discovered that not everyone in Hollywood is like this. Step forward BFF's Courteney Cox and Jennifer Aniston. You ladies have restored Ed's faith in humanity. The Lego House singer remembers his first time in Courteney's home and says: “I brought my cousin Murray who isn't a superstar, but everyone spoke to him and thought he was cool. Jennifer's just as friendly. I'd only ever experienced the darker side of Hollywood and they give you faith in everything.” Seriously, how sweet is that?

Seems like Ed and Courteney's friendship works both ways though! Ed introduced the Cougar Town star to her current fiancé Snow Patrol star Johnny McDaid. See, this is exactly how friendships are meant to work!

First we had Iggy Azalea and Snoop Dogg feuding across the twitosphere and now, if the latest Twitter offerings are anything to go by, Russell Brand and Donald Trump will certainly be crossing each other off their Christmas card lists.

Sixty-eight-year-old American business magnate Donald really let loose on Twitter this week and decided that British actor and comedian Russell Brand was going to hear exactly how he felt about him. Calling him a 'major loser' and questioning why Katy Perry ever married him, the savvy businessman probably knew that Russell wasn't going to take that lying down. And he was right.
 

 

In response, Russell asked Donald: “Are you drunk when you write these tweets? Or does that foam you spray on your bald head make you high?” Considering how out-of the-blue Donald's attack was, we think Russell handled it admirably, adding “I don't think your daddy left you any witty ripostes, and everything you have you inherited.”

Donald then bored of the British funnyman's replies and turned his attention to Obama, but for how long? We can't see this bizarre feud dying down anytime soon!

Prince Harry was left feeling a little disappointed at a charity event held in London yesterday when he found himself seated between two men. When the Prince, known for his mischievous side, addressed the 200-strong crowd at a fundraising gala dinner held by 100 Women in Hedge Fund, he quipped: “I am not entirely sure who made the seating plan, but I am sitting between two men. I thought it would just be 100 women and myself.”

The event, which was held in The Royal Hospital in Chelsea, was to raise funds for children's charity WellChild of which Harry is a patron. His brother William and sister-in-law Kate are also patrons, but were notably absent. It has been reported that Kate is suffering from pregnancy sickness and was unable to attend.

Harry's passion for the charity was evident in his speech when he said: “There are few organisations which share WellChild's hunger and determination to do better; my support and admiration for this important charity grows stronger with every inspirational young person, parent or carer that I am lucky enough to meet.”

Harry's mother, the late Princess Diana, was known for her warmth with children and it seems Harry has certainly inherited his mum's traits.

We have pores all over our bodies – they are simply hair follicle glands. They look after us by excreting salt and sweat, and keeping our skin moisturised. But sometimes these glands can get clogged, most commonly on the face.

A build-up of oil, dirt, dead skin or sweat can lead to spots, blackheads and enlarging of pores. Not nice! 

Here are our top tips for ensuring your pores stay unclogged and your skin is blemish-free…

1. Always take off make-up
After a night out the temptation to leave make-up on is strong. Resist the urge! A gentle cream cleanser will remove foundation, mascara and other make-up that can sink into our delicate facial skin. Wearing a primer under make-up also creates a base layer to give skin better protection from heavy make-up and airborne dust.

2. Cleanse, cleanse, cleanse
Even if you're not wearing make-up, it's important to cleanse to remove oil, sweat and dirt that settles on your skin throughout the day. A liquid or gel cleanser will gently remove build-up on the skin, lowering your chances of clogged pores. Yay!

3. Scrub it off
Exfoliating even twice a week will go a long way toward keeping your skin in great condition. A mild scrub helps to gently open pores and remove any trapped particles. It will also get rid of the top layer of dead skin that can clog pores over time.

4. Keep it natural
Skincare products that are laced with chemicals can cause irritation to your skin, meaning it'll produce even more oil than usual. If you have sensitive skin look for hypoallergenic or organic products that will be kind and gentle!

5. Stay clean
It might seem obvious, but eating oily or greasy food isn't just bad for us on the inside. Oily residue can linger on our hands and face, and will eventually be absorbed by the skin. So be sure to clean your hands and mouth after eating that plate of cheesy chips! Giving your phone a wipe with an antibacterial cloth every day, and changing your pillowcase regularly will also reduce your skin's exposure to oil, dirt and bacteria.
