A DJ named Mac Lethal (we’re not judging you Mac…much) was asked by a fan to write a song for his cheating girlfriend and break-up with her for him.

Here is the email he got:

“Dear Mac,

Today I found out my girlfriend Nicole is cheating on me. How I found out was a little weird. I found a bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios in the sink. The thing is, she doesn’t fu**ing eat gluten.

I got suspicious and broke into her Facebook account while she was at the Taylor Swift concert, and discovered that she’d cheated on me with six different guys! Please make a video that I can send to her as my way of breaking up with her.”

Darryl.

So…Mac Lethal obliged. And it may be the best thing ever.

This is pretty hilarious. If you wanted to see your favourite boyband in Christmas jumpers, singing a Christmas favourite and playing children's instruments – then you're in the right place!

One Direction appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and did a great (okay, alright) version of Santa Claus is Coming to Town with The Roots. 

Niall just looks so delighted with his little banana shaker! We love it.

Rihanna loves to share every part of her life with her fans, and they certainly missed her when she got kicked off Instagram before returning a few months ago!

Now, the singer has shared some stunning make-up free selfies with her fans, from what looks like a behind-the-scenes shoot or video. Rihanna posted four photos of herself pulling some funny faces and wrote: “She bored.”

Not a speck of make-up can be spotted on the Barbadian singer’s face – in fact we’re not sure why she wears it at all! The singer is no doubt still recovering from her big night at the Diamond Ball she hosted recently, where massive stars such as Brad Pitt, Jimmy Kimmel and the Kardashians were in attendance. We wonder if she has forgiven Brad for his speech yet

It doesn’t sound as if things are going to get any easier for Mel B any time soon if this latest story is anything to go by. Her husband, Stephen Belafonte, is said to have fled to to their home in LA with youngest daughter, Madison. It has also been reported that the couple are planning on divorcing.

Now, a new allegation has come up against the Spice Girl’s husband of seven years that claims her oldest daughter, 15-year-old Phoenix Chi, hates her stepfather. The allegation was made in US court papers by Mel B’s estranged mum, Andrea Brown, who claims that Stephen once frightened Phoenix with a gun. The Sun has reported Andrea’s court documents as reading: “Phoenix told me Steohen had a gun and that he scared her with it.”

To make things even worse, the papers also claim that Stephen told his stepdaughter that he planned to kick her out of home when she turned 16: “Phoenix said that Stephen told her that when she was 16, he was going to throw her out of the house.” However, Phoenix’s grandmother has said she put this down to the difficulty of sharing her mum with someone new: “I was shocked at the this time to hear Phoenix say she hated her stepfather and I dismissed this as result of her having to share mum with him and sister Angel.”

However, Andrea also added that she had never before heard her granddaughter speak about one of Mel’s former boyfriends in that way.

We really do hope this situation gets better before it gets worse – poor Mel, what a sad thing to have to go through so soon after the elation of appearing on The X Factor

The judge has remained tight lipped on the subject, while her mum and sister have attacked Stephen on Twitter while he tried to clear his name.

This week’s beauty blogger of the week is the fabulous Lauren, the face behind beauty site Make Up By Lauren Marie.

Freelance make-up artist and self-confessed cosmetic addict, Lauren, has her finger on the pulse and knows what’s what in the world of make-up and beauty.

We caught with this lovely lady to chat about the contents of her own beauty bag as well as getting a sneak peek into her must-haves and schooled on her top tips!

1. What is your best budget beauty buy?

My favourite beauty buy at the moment are the new NYC BB Beautifying Blushable Cream Sticks. These are little tubes of cream blush that go on super smooth, but have a powder finish, so they stick around all day. They are under €4 and I cannot get enough of them. My favourite shade is 'Never Sleeping Pink' which is a vibrant pink-coral that I think would look amazing in the hotter months….which I know is a rare sight in Ireland.

 2. What is your top make-up tip?

My biggest one is to always wear sunscreen, seems like such a simple tip, but you would be surprised how many of us skip this step in our beauty regime. I have acne prone skin and wearing sunscreen everyday has helped my acne scarring massively. Also the other benefits are that the skin is protected from the sun’s rays which means younger looking skin, which is what we all want right? Other than that I always say get your foundation or base right and you’re good to go!

3. Most girls have a much-loved lipstick – what's yours?

This is a tough question as I am a self-confessed lipaholic! Narrowing a favourite down to just one is like trying to pick your favourite child- OK, slightly dramatic!-  but I would have to choose Mac Syrup, this is a lipstick that I think every girl should own. It’s a muted mauve shade that is so flattering and so easy to wear, which makes it a perfect everyday colour. The formula is really nice and moisturising and I just love everything about that lipstick.

 4. What was your very first perfume and what are you currently wearing?

My very first perfume was Ralph by Ralph Lauren. It was in this small blue bottle. I remember receiving it for Christmas off my parents and feeling so grown up wearing it. At the moment I am wearing Lancome La Vie Est Belle and Giorgio Armani Si and for a budget buy I love Taylor Swift Wonderstruck Enchanted.

 5. You're only allowed to use three make-up products for the rest of your life… what are they?

This would have to be Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer as it covers everything and looks super natural. As I have super straight lashes I would need a mascara and it would need to be waterproof so Maybelline Big Eyes or Falsies would be my pick and of course as a lip addict I would need a lipstick, so something bright and bold to make up for the lack of other make-up on my face!

Made In Chelsea couple Spencer Matthews and Lauren Hutton seemed to be going through a rough patch of late, after some serious allegations came out.

On Monday night's episode of the show, filmed a couple of weeks ago, Spencer's ex Lucy Watson claimed that he had "propositioned" her when the pair had attended an American Football game together recently, telling her he'd be willing to hide things from Lauren if he and Lucy enjoyed a one night stand.

At first Lauren appeared to quickly forgive her new man, telling him, "I trust you, I don't care."

Later though, she admitted it had damaged their relationship in some ways, telling him, "It's annoying me that you've had to lie… A seed of doubt has been planted, I just feel humiliated… You've totally undermined me."

Spencer did his best to patch things up, telling his girlfriend, "I love you and I want us to work."

The L-bomb seemed to do the job, as the pair jetted off to St Barths for the Christmas break together earlier this week!

And if there could be any doubt that things were less than perfect, the couple were quick to share some serious PDAs in view of photographers as they sunned themselves on the beach:

They looked every bit the loved-up couple, though we're not quite sure what's going on in the picture below!

As a classic beauty, Rachel McAdams looks equally stunning with blonde, brunette and even red hair, but we're not sure if she got it right with this latest look.

The Notebook star was pictured in LAX recently rocking a very casual wool coat and tartan scarf, plus a seriously ombre platinum-and-brown hairstyle.

A big change for her!

Rachel seems to have gotten a few inches taken off the ends, too – her most recent style before this was her shoulder length strawberry blonde waves, as seen at the Met Gala earlier this year:

The star has spoken before about her love of fun new styles, saying "I still think about doing blue at some point, but I don't like to change my hair before I'm about to do [a film]—you never know what that character's going to be."

We wonder if this newest 'do could be linked to Rachel's upcoming role as Sheriff Ani in True Detective? The series is set to return to screens next summer and Rachel is reportedly due to start filming very soon.

Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling are one of Hollywood's golden couples, but now it seems they could be on the verge of a split.

40-year-old Eva has been at home with the couple's new daughter Esmeralda in Los Angeles, while Ryan has been spending long periods in Georgia, filming his new movie The Nice Guys, which has understandably put a strain on their relationship as they adjust to life as parents.

But that's not the only source of the problem, a source told OK! magazine. "It's more than just run-of-the-mill stress that comes with having a newborn. They're barely talking… Eva has pushed him away."

The couple's rocky patch apparently got worse when Eva chose not to travel to Georgia to stay there for the duration of Ryan's filming schedule, meaning he is flying regularly between two states to see his family. "So instead of coming home every night to them, he's jetting back and forth just so he can see his daughter," said the source.

The notoriously private couple, who started dating in September 2011 after filming A Place Beyond The Pines, haven't been pictured in public together for over a year.

Eva is reportedly reluctant to go outside in L.A. with baby Esmeralda, most likely for fear of paparazzi. "The last time Ryan was in LA, he told her that she and Esmeralda needed to get outside for some fresh air, but she just wouldn't listen," said the insider. 

On a recent interview with Ellen DeGeneres, Eva spoke about her desire to give her little one a normal upbringing, saying she refused to take on a nanny or other hired help. "Esmeralda has two amazing grandmothers and incredible aunties who come over and help me," she said.

Hopefully this is just a difficult patch for the couple – we love them together!

Sometimes the cinema is seen as the back-up plan when you want to go out, but you don’t want to go out-out.

Oh girls, don’t get us started on ‘out vs. out-out’ dilemma; it’s the eternal conundrum, right?

But here are just five reasons why a night at the flicks is almost always preferable to a night on the beer!

1. You don’t need to suck in your tum, hoike up your boobs and totter out in heels when you decide to kick back and chill out with Paddington.

Stretchy pants and no bra is practically mandatory cinema clobber.

2. You don’t have to perch awkwardly on a wooden stool and have half a pint spilled down your back while trying to look elegant.

Any drink spillages at the flicks will be your own doing as you try to balance your giant bucket of Pepsi on your burgeoning food baby.

3.  You don’t have to make awkward small talk with people you bump into at the bar.

The only sounds coming from you will be contented signs and random muffled belches

4. You don’t need to do your hair or make-up.

All you need to do is show up.

5. You don’t have to power through eight vodkas to get to the holy grail of grease at the end of the night.

A night at the cinema STARTS with grease, baby!

Yeah, we're sold too.

Ten pm showing, please.

Despite telling her parents at the age of 12 that she never wanted to get married, Black Swan star Mila Kunis stepped out at a recent basketball game rocking what looked suspiciously like a wedding band next to her engagement ring.

The stunning pint-sized actress admitted that while the opinion she had of marriage as a pre-teen had changed, she still thought the marriage ceremony should be a private matter, saying: “Don’t invite anyone. Do it privately and secretly.”

Well, if that ring next to her stunning engagement band is anything to go by, it looks like that’s exactly what her and fiancé- of-almost-one-year, Ashton Kutcher went and did!

The smitten pair, who recently welcomed baby daughter Wyatt into their lives, looked totally relaxed at an LA Lakers game and, like the good sports they are, even puckered up for the famous Kiss Cam.

The gorgeous couple met while starring on That 70’s Show, but it took years and many other romances before the pair got together, with Mila saying: “I found the love of my life.”

If that ring on her wedding finger is anything to go by, it looks like Mila and the love of her life have made it official!

Remember how far away Christmas seemed in November? How we laughed at those smug and organised people who did their shopping ahead of time. But with just days left to go the reality has suddenly hit. It's nearly Christmas Eve and you haven't bought so much as a pair of socks.

Here are the stages your poor frazzled self will no doubt experience over the coming days. Stay strong. It's all be over soon!

1. The fear of making The List
WHY did your Mam and Dad decide to have so many kids? This is cruelty.

2. The panic on the bus to town as you realise you've forgotten a load of people
Ah Christ, the 17 cousins.

3. The rabbit-in-the-headlights feeling as you crush your way into the first shop
So. Many. People.

4. Settling for any old present even though you KNOW you could do better
But Nana would love this teatowel, she's all about the washing and drying. Isn't she?

5. That weird feeling of calm as you start to enjoy spending money on random frivolous gifts
I should take this up as a hobby!

6. … Until you remember to check your bank balance
Quick, return the €25 ceramic trinket bowl. QUICK.

7. Giving up after 2 hours for a "well-earned" break
I'm having mulled wine and there's nothing you can do to stop me.

8. Finally buying that last present…
And remembering you still have to buy wrapping paper, cards and gift tags. This torture never ends.

The singer of one of our favourite love songs, Up Where We Belong, passed away today after a long battle with lung cancer.

It was confirmed that English singer Joe Cocker, who won both a Grammyand Academy Award for Up Where We Belong, died today after bravely battling the frightening disease.

The rock and blues singer was famed for covering Beatles tracks and his version of With A Little Help From My Friends reached number one and propelled the Sheffield-born star to music stardom. He then went on to record forty albums and toured the globe treating audience to his distinctive, gritty voice.

Commenting on the singer’s tragic demise, his agent Barrie Marshall said: “It will be impossible to fill the space he leaves in our hearts.”

Joe was called ‘simply unique’ by his agent who also insisted: “ [Joe] was without a doubt the greatest rock/soul voice ever to come out of Britain- and remained the same throughout his life. Anyone who ever saw him live will never forget him.”

The seventy-year-old singer was awarded an OBE in 2007 for his legendary contribution to the music industry.
