Such sad news. Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this sad time.

Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green got a fright last night when their car was hit by a drunk driver in Los Angeles.

The couple, who are parents to sons Noah and Bodhi, were in their Range Rover when a Mini Cooper reportedly crossed over the yellow line in the road and struck the side of their vehicle.

According to entertainment site TMZ, the collision caused a tire to blow in Fox and Green’s car, with the Mini then spinning out of control.

Thankfully, the couple were not harmed in the accident.

Anger Management star Brian is said to have contacted the police, who arrived on the scene shortly after and arrested the driver who was reportedly well over the legal alcohol limit.

What a terrifying incident. We are so glad to hear that Megan and Brian are both okay after the ordeal.

Some of us thought it was a walk in the park and others (usually known as people who tell the truth) acknowledge that the first-time bikini wax is a horrendous affair.

It's an occasion where you leave your dignity at the door and hobble out afterwards wondering what the hell you were thinking clambering up on that table in the first place.

No matter which camp you fall into, what we do all have in common is that we do, at the very least, remember the occasion.

And here’s why…

1. It was the first time a non-medical person in a non-sexy environment asked us to remove our pants.

I knew it was coming, but I really don’t think I like it.

2. It was the first time we realised we might be a bit more attached to our lady garden than we originally thought.

Stop. Stop. I’ll keep it.

3. It was the first time we truly appreciated what our mothers went through in childbirth.

Actually, maybe this is worse.

4. It was the first time we saw our raised knees actually tremble in fear.

Huh, I didn’t know they could do that.

5. It was the first time we were made to engage in pleasant chit-chat while in excruciating pain.

I know I didn’t have to chat about my holidays with the nurse who stitched me up after I fell down the stairs and smashed through our front door on roller skates.

6. It was the first time we questioned whether someone truly, truly despised us.

Did I do something to this woman in a past life?

7.It was the first time we truly questioned societal values and didn’t have to put it in an essay.

This is barbaric and wrong and I’m only doing it because society insists on it… I think.

8. It was the first time we found staring at a buzzing fluorescent light relatively calming.

The flickering of this light will see me through.

9. It was the first time we wondered if our finger nails could be considered a weapon and would we do time if we used them?

Back off and don’t dare go any lower.

10. It was the first time we realised that we are willing to suffer so that our lady garden looks ‘just-so’.

Great, it’s exactly what I wanted. Super-cute. See you in six weeks.

And the cycle continues…

Congratulations are in order today for Taylor Swift.

It has been announced that the singer is in the running for ‘Record of the Year’ in this year’s Grammy Awards for Shake It Off.

The 24-year-old will battle it out against Iggy Azalea and Charli XCX (Fancy), Sia (Chandelier), Sam Smith (Stay With Me) and Meghan Trainor (All About That Bass) for the coveted prize.

Taylor is also up for ‘Best Pop Solo Performance’ with the popular hit.

As if her award nominations were not enough, Taylor celebrated a double-win today as she was officially unveiled as Billboard’s 2014 Woman of the Year.

 

Thanks Billboard. Also thanks, YOU. (Does dorky celebratory dance then trips over a cat toy)

Given that Taylor has sold more albums than any other artist over the course of the past year, we’re thinking she was always going to be the runaway winner.

Taking to Instagram to acknowledge the wonderful news, Taylor wrote: “Thanks Billboard. Also, thanks YOU. (Does dorky celebratory dance then trips over a cat toy).”

Oh Taylor, how we love you.

Coldplay fans – us included – are not happy today.

In fact, we’re trying not to shed tears as we come to grips with Chris Martin’s latest revelation.

The Coldplay front man last night shared the news that the band are working on what may be their final album.

Yes, we’re sad to say it’s true.

Teasing hints about their new record, A Head Full of Dreams, the star said: “It’s our seventh thing, and the way we look at it, it’s like the last Harry Potter book or something.”

Speaking on BBC Radio 1, Chris added: “Not to say that there might not be another thing one day, but this is the completion of something. I have to think of it as the final thing we’re doing. Otherwise we wouldn’t put everything into it.”

Excuse us while we reach for the tissues and play Parachutes on repeat.

If you’ve ever worked in retail, you will know only too well the frustration, irritation and seething anger you endure on a daily basis.

Whether it’s fellow workers that do your head in or those damn customers getting on your last nerve, earning a living on the shop floor is not easy and requires more patience than any of us were ever born with.

Here are just some of the issues faced by shop workers on a daily basis.

1. The moment you encounter a customer who thinks the price of a garment is determined by you, and you alone.

Ah, just take it! They weren’t selling at €70 anyway. Sure, go mad and take a few!    

2. The moment a customer skids under the shutters at closing time and proceeds to browse aimlessly.

What did I ever do to you, ma’am?

3. The moment you realise you're working with someone who thinks till roll changes itself, hangers find their way into the hanger bins on their own and accessory stands tidy themselves.

No, seriously you’re sound. Really, really sound.

4. The moment you pull back a fitting room curtain to reveal 17 crumpled garments in a pile against the mirror.

I’m a good person. I don't deserve this.

5. The moment you're faced with a customer who insists they haven’t worn a garment that smells of dog biscuits and vodka.

I believe you, but let me go get the manager.

6. The moment a customer acts like it's your fault that a particular garment isn't in stock.

Just give me two minutes and I'll whip one up on the sewing machine we keep in the back.

7. The moment a manager guilt trips you into staying late.

Hell is filled with people like you, madam.

8. The moment you check the floor plan and see that you're on 'standards' for the day.

There goes my will to live.

9. The moment your buddy finishes their shift for the day, but you have five more hours to go.

Promise you'll never forget me.

10. The moment your manager hands you your hours for the Christmas sale.

One day I will be dead and none of this will matter.

The Script can do more than just sell out Croke Park – they are legitimate heroes after last night.

Danny O’Donoghue and his bandmates reportedly came to the rescue of a young woman whose car hit a barrier and spun out of control in Manchester.

The accident occurred on the M40 in Manchester, following the band’s gig in the area.

After coming across the accident as they drove past, Danny is said to have ran across the busy motorway to lend his assistance to the driver.

Thankfully, the 25-year-old woman escaped from the vehicle unharmed.

Taking to Twitter to share the incident with his followers, front man Danny wrote: “Thank God she was alright, hit the barrier and spun out, got her out as the engine was starting to smoke.”

“We had to do it or it could have been [very] bad. She’s ok now and that’s the main thing. Her car is totalled,” he added.

Fair play to the lads, they really are Superheroes now!

We feel like we say this way too often at this stage but, poor Iggy Aazalea!

If you thought that Twitter attack from Azalea Banks was the low point of the Fancy singer’s week, you are very much mistaken.

Poor Iggy suffered major embarrassment yesterday when she took to her Twitter account to announce the opening act to her 2015 arena tour – only to name the wrong artist.

While it’s Nick Jonas who will be supporting Iggy on tour, she accidentally tagged his brother Joe in the message.

*Face palm*

“Joe Jonas is going to be my special guest, so get excited girls,” tweeted Iggy.

After realising her pretty major mistake, Iggy went on to delete the tweet, owning up to the error and correcting it in another message.

“HAHAHA wait, sorry Joe, I mean Nick. HAHAHAHAHA s***! DON’T KILL ME!” she wrote.

The mortification of it all!

Just to confirm, it’s NICK that will be supporting Iggy. Definitely Nick!

2. "Remind me, how did you two meet again?"

Implication: Have a good story because, take it from me, you’ll be made repeat it fifty times at your engagement party.

3. "Will you ever make an honest woman of her, hah?"

Implication: I don’t even know what this really means, but I’ve heard people say it at other engagement parties so I thought I’d go for it and I think I pulled it off.

4. "Don’t worry, I’ll make sure to aim the bouquet in your direction."

Congratulations are in order for Gone Girl star Rosamund Pike today, as it has been confirmed that she has welcomed her second child.

The Gone Girl star gave birth to a baby boy at home on Tuesday, having announced her pregnancy in June.

The 35-year-old and her long-term partner, Robie Uniacke, are already parents to two-year-old son Solo.

Speaking after the announcement of her pregnancy in the summer, Rosamund revealed that playing the role of Amy in Gone Girl was what drove her to try for another baby.

In an interview with the Daily Mail, she said: “After filming I just knew I had to go out there and make a human being. The film was so tough and such a hard experience that the instant I finished, I thought, ‘I need to bring something positive into the world.’”

What lovely news for the star! After her interesting choice of name for her first child, we can't wait to see what she names her new bundle of joy!

Kylie Jenner changes her image more often than we stick on the kettle, so we’re not surprised to see a dramatic new look in her latest Instagram snap.

It seems that Kylie has opted to follow in sister Kim’s footsteps with her new ‘do, going for long, jet-black locks.

It’s a much more natural look for the reality star, who has been experimenting with rainbow shades for the past number of months.

First it was chalky grey, then she wowed us with her bright turquoise tresses from her new Kylie Kouture hair extensions range.

For those of you just aching to copy Kylie’s fresh look, you’re in luck, because the star revealed in the photo caption that these are also extensions from her Kylie Kouture range. Fancy!

What do you think of her more natural look? We are big fans!

We know, we know, Christmas is a time of joy and love, but it is also a time of FOOD. Lots of food.

The Irish Christmas experience mainky involves chocolate, alcohol and cake – we know how to do things right in the Emerald Isle.

Here are just nine of the amazing foods we couldn't live without during the festive season…

1. Afternoon Tea biscuits
If you haven't already cracked open a leftover tin from last year, don't worry, you're bound to get at least three more tins from neighbours/long-lost aunts/the Christmas raffle. RIP, jelly star. You were the unsung hero of the Christmas biscuit selection.

2. Roses
The ultimate sign of a stingy person? They only arrive with a box of Roses, not the giant tub. Ah, who cares, it's all chocolate at the end of the day. Prepare for some heated discussions about whether the Coffee Escape REALLY belongs in the Roses collection or not.

3. A selection box
Just for kids? Stop your nonsense and pass us that Curly Wurly.

4. Baileys
Save your gin and slimline tonic for January – once December hits it's pretty much obligatory to have a cheeky Baileys or five on every night out. 

5. The melon boat
The standard Irish Mammy "fancy" Christmas starter. What's that? A glacé cherry? Notions.

6. Sherry trifle
Your nana is duty bound to make at least one of these throughout the Christmas season. Laced with alcohol, of course.

7. The Christmas yule log
Basically a chocolate Swiss Roll with the addition of some icing sugar for "snow" and a plastic holly bough or two. 

8. Turkey and ham sandwiches
Forget Christmas dinner, the sandwich you make that evening while watching your new box set is the TRUE taste of Christmas. White bread (fine, have brown if you like), butter, turkey, ham, optional mayo. Perfection.

9. Fizzy orange
What better thing to wash down that sandwich with than some ice cold Finches or Club Orange? Hello, Christmas.
