We are very, very excited this morning.

The host for next year's Oscars has been announced, and he couldn't be a more perfect choice.

Neil Patrick Harris has been confirmed as the 2015 presenter, and we just know he's going to kill it!

The How I Met Your Mother actor revealed the news with a cute video uploaded to his Twitter account yesterday, showing his pretty impressive to-do list, including tasks like "Saw a lady in half," "Win a Tony Award, "Rap with Snoop Dogg" and "Star in a Broadway show." The only thing left is, of course, "Host the Oscars." Tick!

Neil's already made a name for himself in Hollywood since HIMYM ended, with a pretty creepy role in Gone Girl and a part in Seth MacFarlane's A Million Ways to Die in the West, too. But presenting the Academy Awards is no easy feat, even for the most relaxed of stars. TV veteran Ellen De Generes struggled last year with lots of autocue fails and stiff jokes – though she did manage to take the most iconic selfie of all time:

We just know NPH is up to the job, though! In the words of Barney, it's going to be legen – wait for it – DARY!

Let’s just get this out there right from the off – no one exactly relishes the thought of having to use a public toilet.

Now, new research has delved into the murky side of what lurks in the bathrooms we share with so many others around us – and it ain’t pretty.

In a new study carried out in the US, researchers from the show The Drs made some rather interesting findings about how using public toilets can impact upon our health.

Undoubtedly, one of the most surprising discoveries made was that the toilet seat is generally one of the cleanest parts of the toilet, which is in direct contrast to the toilet paper dispenser. Indeed, the researchers found that there was a staggering 150 percent more bacteria on the dispenser compared to the toilet seat.

Ew.                                   

While researchers couldn’t emphasise enough the importance of washing your hands (we would hope that this is something you don’t need to be reminded of) they urged people to cover their hands with a paper towel when turning off the tap, so as to avoid the transfer of harmful bacteria right back onto their hands.

So all in all, public toilets are still as yucky as we thought, but this definitely makes for interesting reading!

We are beyond excited right now.

As you may have guessed, we’re pretty massive Friends fans here at SHEmazing! – but then again, isn’t everyone?

Lovers of the classic show received some pretty amazing news today, with online streaming site Netflix revealing that it will be adding the entire Friends collection to its online library.

That’s all 236 episodes – perfect for binge-watching, 365 days out of the year.

Now, we understand that you are very excited – so it’s time to break the unfortunate news that we Irish folk may have to wait a little while before we can experience this treat in full.

That’s right, it’s our neighbours across the pond in the US and Canada who have the privilege of getting first access to the catalogue, but we imagine it won’t be too long before we get to share in the fun.

Maybe a strongly-worded email might speed up the process?

Either way, it’s looking good!

In honour of this momentous news, we’ve decided to take a trip down memory lane, with one of our favourite Friends moments of all time.

Wow.

Khloe Kardashian may want to just avoid the media altogether today.

There has long been speculation over who Khloe’s real father is, and a new name has been thrown into the hat today after the publication of a pretty scandalous story.

A source is claiming that Kris Jenner had an affair with none other than singer Lionel Richie once upon a time, and that Lionel may actually be Khloe’s real father!

What?!

In a story published in In Touch magazine, it is claimed that Kris and the All Night Long singer enjoyed a fling during the eighties, and that Khloe is, in fact, their love child.

“They had a sexual affair – he bragged about it. He said he was on the outs with his wife at the time,” said the unnamed source.

Of course, rumours of the identity of Khloe’s dad have swirled for years, with a number of sources claiming that Robert Kardashian was not her biological father.

It has previously been speculated that Alex Roldan, Kris’ former hairdresser, was Khloe’s real father, after it was revealed that he and the Kardashians’ momager had enjoyed a fling together.

So what do you all think? Is there a resemblance, or is this just a total fabrication?

Excuse us while we just pick our jaws up off the floor.

We've just had a sneak peek of Wonderbra's new lingerie campaign, starring Miranda Kerr, and we are pretty much in awe of the model’s beauty.

The 31-year-old former Victoria’s Secret Angel looks truly amazing as she poses in a navy lace push-up bra and French knickers set, having previously modelled for the underwear brand back in March.

The Australian beauty teased a look at the new campaign last night on Instagram, sharing a behind-the-scenes snap with the caption: “Love from set in Korea xxx”.

And it looks as though Miranda is a popular hit with the public in Korea, with the model sharing another photo of herself being swarmed by adoring fans as she arrived to a special event.

We think we’d be fan-girling pretty hard if we were that close to the beauty, too!

Her latest contract tops off a lucrative year for the mother-of-one, who replaced supermodel Gisele Bundchen as the face of clothing brand H&M back in February, as well as fronting a campaign with sports brand Reebok.

Not bad work, if you can get it!

It looks like Miranda’s star is only on the rise.

Sale season aside, shopping is supposed to be a relaxing, enjoyable way to unwind.

So imagine how horrified you would be if your favourite store suddenly turned into a deadly obstacle course?

Ok, so we might be exaggerating slightly when we say deadly, but we totally feel for these Korean shoppers who fell victim to a hilarious and equally epic prank while browsing in a North Face store.

In a very clever new campaign, the outdoor sportswear brand built a special James Bond-esque changing room, complete with disappearing floor and rock-climbing wall. Then, they put their sporty customers to the ultimate test!

In the brilliant video, the customers don’t know what has hit them when the floor beneath their feet starts to roll away, forcing them to jump onto the wall and climb up for safety.

Next, a snazzy North Face ski jacket is dangled down from the ceiling, and the shocked customers are told that they will have to summon every ounce of bravery within them in order to retrieve it.

Check out what happens in the video.

We have to say, these guys and girls are very good sports – we think we’d just cling to the wall and scream until somebody came to bring us down!

So there we were, thinking that Robin Thicke was going to be utterly devastated when Paula Patton filed for divorce last week.

We were very wrong.

The Blurred Lines singer has put on a brave face and taken a novel approach to the news that it was, indeed, over for him and his wife – by throwing a ‘divorce party’.

And this was no ordinary get-together between a few good buddies, either. No, Robin’s bash, which took place last Friday night, was apparently attended by a bevy of hot models and celebrity pals including Leonardo DiCaprio.

According to a report in Page Six, Robin hit up a club in LA before bringing the party back to his home in the Hollywood Hills.

A source told the publication: “There were a lot of models there. Leo and Robin were being super flirtatious and talking to tons of girls.”

No doubt Robin is feeling extremely sorry for himself after finding out that Paula has moved on with musician Zak Waters, with the pair reportedly now living together.

Now that Leonardo DiCaprio has also reportedly split from his model girlfriend Toni Gaarn, we can see these two becoming a formidable pair on the Hollywood dating circuit.

Is Justin Bieber ever out of trouble?

The star isn’t even back in the States five minutes, and he’s already had a run-in with the police!

According to reports, Justin was pretty happy to be back home and decided that the occasion called for one hell of a celebration.

So, after calling up, oh, 30 or 40 friends and inviting them over to his Beverley Hills mansion, the Baby star ended up throwing one of his infamous all-nighters.

Apparently, police were called to Bieber’s residence not once, but twice, after complaints of noise from concerned neighbours.

Oh, Justin – will you ever learn?

Having recently split from his on-off girlfriend Selena Gomez for the umpteenth time, we can understand Justin wanting to blow off some steam, but isn’t it about time that he grew up a bit?

This is the second time in as many weeks that Justin’s bad behaviour has put him in the headlines. He came in for harsh criticism just last week, being branded “disrespectful” for kicking a ball around Vatican City.

We can’t see any signs of the 20-year-old calming down any time soon.

Selena, come back and work your magical ways!

Fans of boy band 5 Seconds of Summer are going to be distraught over this sad news.

The guys have just revealed that the lovely Ashton is suffering with appendicitis, meaning that they have had to cancel a string of appearances.

Poor Ashton. This is awful!

Now that there’s a man down, the guys have been forced to pull out of the Radio 1 Teen Awards as well as postponing their forthcoming gigs in Japan.

Taking to their website to break the news, the lads apologised to their legion of fans, promising that they would make it up to them when Ashton was back to full health.

“We are so sorry to everyone that had planned on seeing us,” they wrote, adding, “We were so excited to come see you all and we never want to make any of you sad…We hope you understand!”

Could they please be any cuter?

The guys signed off by saying: “Thanks so much for supporting all we do, we love you. Can’t wait for us four lads [to] get back on the road (minus one band appendix) and rock out with you all again soon!”

We hope Ashton feels better really soon, and that the lads will be back on top form once again.

Getting mixed messages? Not quite convinced that he’s into? Or have no idea at all? Fear not! We have the low down on the lads. Here are the tell tale signs that he’s into you *wink* *wink*.

1. You Always Catch Him Looking At You

 This is a great indicator that’s he’s into you! If you catch him checking you out on the regular, it means that he likes what sees *nudge* *nudge*. .

2. He’s Always Really Loud Around You

 When any guy is into someone, he’s always gonna try and show himself off. In lad land this means cracking jokes, being smart and an overall showcase. Think of monkey trying to attract a mate. He’s doing it all for your attention.

3. He Always Says Hello To You First

Whenever you see him, he always says hello to you before any of your friends. This is his subconscious acting out. He’s so excited to see you, that he mentally directs all his attention on your arrival. You can see the joy in his eyes. Prepare for a major hug and a massive smile. If he does this, he’s definitely into you.

4. His Mates Have Heard Of You Before You’ve Even Met Them

If one of his friends says: "oh, I've heard about you from Ben." This is a BIG sign that he’s been talking about you to his friends! Ask yourself this: how much would a guy have to talk about you to have his friends remember your name? A lot! You certainly have left your mark on him if this happens.

5. The Flanter Is Serious Between You Two

“Flanter” – the combination of flirting and banter, for those who have not heard of it. And it’s exactly what it says on the tin. They’re are your guy mates that you’re able to have a laugh with. But with this guy, you’re all over each other, without actually being all over each other. But still, you’re constantly winding each other up, play fighting and smile like idiots around each other.

6. He Texts/Calls You All The Time

You can’t go an hour or two without getting a message from this lad. This shows that you’re in his mind pretty much all of the time. But above all, that he enjoys talking to you. Also, this is a really good way to tell if he’s just into you for your looks. It’s normal for guys to say you looked good in class today, but to go into detail and then ask you out, that’s a red flag. See if he interested in getting to know you.

7. He Blushes Everytime His Friends Tell You He's Crushin’ On You

Boys will be boys. Which means they love showing their mate up in front of the girl he likes. Don’t be surprised if your walking by himself and his friends and they start yelling “Hey there’s *so-and-so’s* girlfriend, or “Hey *so-and-so* isn’t that the girl you’re in love with?”. If his face goes bright red then… well… it doesn’t take a brain surgeon.

8. The Compliments Are Non-Stop With Him

It almost as if he can’t help the words from falling out of his mouth. Even if it’s just a sly compliment while the world is turning around the two of you, it’s a tell tale sign that he can’t help but think you’re gorgeous.

9. Your Girlfriends Constantly Tell You That He’s Into You

If it’s just one of the girls telling you, I wouldn’t pay too much attention to her. But if it’s all of the girls, then they’re probably right. If you’ve been denying it up to this point, well then open your eyes girl! He’s well into you.

10. He’ll Always Offers To Get You A Drink

A most convenient way to tell if he’s into you is if he offers to get you a drink! Two things are for sure when this happens; he’s definitely into and you’re gonna have a great time tonight.

Earlier this year it was revealed that Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper would be back on screen together again… in a movie that was filmed a full two years ago!

The production of  the Depression-era drama Serena was slow to get off the ground, and it took a long time for the writers to find a studio to work with.

Now though, things are underway again. The first trailer was released last month, and now a clip from the film has been revealed: 

It actually looks kinda good… though we're not sure about Bradley's accent!
