Ashton Kutcher has opened up about he and Mila Kunis’ new baby daughter, Wyatt.

Describing fatherhood, there is no doubt that Ashton is over the moon with their new arrival, saying: “The transforming experience of becoming a parent … it’s unbelievable. It’s the greatest thing on earth.”

The couple chose the name Wyatt Isabelle for their little one, and Ashton described how they came to decide on that particular name saying that the name they originally chose just didn’t fit: “I just started listing off anything and everything I saw … like ‘Sign’ and ‘Table’ … and then I was like, ‘all right, I’ve got a really dumb idea. What about Wyatt?’ [Mila] goes ‘That’s it.’ And I was like, ‘Really? I did it?’ She was like, ‘Yeah, that’s it.’”

So cute – we just love these two together.

Although, we did also hear him say during his interview with Conan O'Brien: “When we were pregnant”…

We wonder how Mila feels about that? Hint: Probably not very good.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ divorce in 2012 took many people by surprise – just as their relationship in general had.

From jumping up and down on Oprah’s couch (of COURSE we have included a photo for you!) to rumours of scientology, there was never a dull moment for Tom and Katie’s relationship.

Speaking to People magazine for what feels like the first time she has ever opened up about that hard time in her life, Katie said: “I don’t want that moment in my life to define me, to be who I am. I don’t want that to be what I’m known as. I was an actor before, an actor during and an actor now.”

The Kennedys’ actress also spoke about her daughter with Tom, Suri and says she is learning every day: “I’m learning every day and have been since the minute I became a mom. I love my child more than anything in the entire world. It’s pretty simple.”

Lovely words – we hope to see more of Katie now that she seems to have finally shaken off the label of “Tom Cruise’s ex-wife”!

Also, we imagine her doing the whole interview something a little like this:

Ah, Halloween. The one night out of the year that takes a little more preparation than throwing on some fake tan and putting your hair up.

Halloween costumes take effort, people. Well, usually they do. We won't deny you the opportunity to just put on a witch's hat and be done with it – but with some extra time and dedication just THINK what you could achieve! 

If you're short on inspiration, check out these downright amazing celebrity costumes. Needless to say, we're very jealous. Cue a panic trip to Penney's for last minute supplies!

Here's our top ten countdown…

10. Alexa Chung – The Hamburglar
Childhood memories of birthday parties at McDonald's are suddenly flooding back to us:

9. Neil Patrick Harris and family – Tin Man, Cowardly Lion, Scarecrow and Dorothy
There is no doubt that NPH is the king of family costumes. Sooo adorable. Although little Gideon Scott is clearly having none of this 'posing for a picture' malarkey. Even celebs can't get everything right!

8. Iggy Azalea – Cruella de Vil
Iggy donned this amazing monochrome outfit for Vevo's Halloween party last year in London. And what Cruella costume is complete without a live dalmatian?! Glenn Close would be proud!

7. Cindy Crawford – Slash from Guns N' Roses
You'd never know there was a supermodel under that giant curly wig! Cindy looked every bit the aging rocker for her Halloween costume last year, with husband Rande Gerber accompanying her as Axl Rose. Teamwork at its finest.

6. Fergie and Josh Duhamel – Día de los Muertos skeletons
Fergie paid homage to her great-grandmother's Mexican roots with this very intense Día de los Muertos costume last year. We love the make up!

5. Naya Rivera – Carmen Sandiego
Anyone who sat through a Computers class in primary school will remember sneakily playing Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? when you were meant to be practising typing with Mavis Beacon. Looks like Naya has the same childhood memory – what a costume!

4. Heidi Klum – every year, ever.
Heidi never fails to impress at her annual Halloween party in New York – our favourite has to be this epic glittery robot from her 2010 bash…

…Although last year's "95-year-old Heidi Klum" costume was pretty cool, too. Bonus points!

3. Neil Patrick Harris and family – Tweedledum, Tweedledee, Alice and the Rabbit
A second mention for NPH and David Burtka – they pull out the stops every year! How cute is little Harper Grace as Alice? Serious outift envy.

2. Ellen DeGeneres – Nicki Minaj
Those fake boobs. Enough said.

1. Melissa McCarthy and Sandra Bullock – two old fishermen
What a genius way for these superstar pals to take Sandra's son Fisher trick-or-treating without attracting attention from fans! We are still laughing at those beards. Win!

Last week, Lauren Conrad surprised us all when she cut her hair shorter than it had been in years.

Now, it seems she has caught the bob bug and taken her newly shortened hair even shorter than before!

Kristin Ess, Lauren’s hairdresser, took a snap of the star’s newly cut hair and wrote: “On set today and giving this cutie some catnip and a hair flip.”

Kellogg’s has unveiled the first ever weather powered vending machine dispensing free samples of vitamin D fortified Kellogg’s cereals so that consumers can still get Vitamin D even when it’s cloudy.

Our body creates most of our vitamin D from direct sunlight on our skin but when it’s cloudy we need another solution.

The Kellogg’s vending machine only works when cloud cover is at its highest, blocking our exposure to sunshine and therefore reducing our chances of naturally absorbing Vitamin D.

As part of a social experiment to highlight the extent of street harassment experienced by women, an actress walked the streets of New York City for 10 hours.

The results are frankly shocking and frightening.

Not only are there numerous cat calls and lewd comments but she also is followed by two men on two separate occasions.

So we knew Daniel Radcliffe was talented at speaking very, very fast which he proved on The Graham Norton Show – and it turns out he is no one trick pony!

The Harry Potter actor appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon where he rapped Alphabet Aerobics by Blackalicious and totally killed it!

Here's a reminder of Daniel on The Graham Norton Show singing the Elements song…

It’s all over for Kara Tointon and Artem Chigvintsev!

The couple were partnered together on Strictly Come Dancing three years ago and are just another couple to fall victim to the supposed “strictly curse”.

Speculation that the couple were on the rocks had been reported throughout the year, but it has just only now been confirmed by the actress herself. 

Other stars whose relationships have ended after appearing on the TV show include Rachel Riley and Susanna Reid as well as many others!

Kara also explained to The Telegraph that she and Artem have been over for a while now, but it wasn’t something she wished to announce: “We are not together. We’re fine, but we aren’t a couple any more. The reason I haven’t spoken about it is because I hate reading about myself in that way.”

The former EastEnders star has just wrapped up scenes for the new season of Mr Selfridge

Here's a reminder of the great chemistry Kara and Artem brought to our screens back in 2010 (how has it been that long?!)

So apparently Oscar Pistorius was messaging Katie Price during his trial.

The glamour model was speaking to 3am when she made the bizarre claims, saying: “He was direct messaging me during the case. It’s weird is’t it? He was saying, ‘Thanks for the support’ and stuff. Just all general chit-chat. He was the first one to message me.”

Katie had spoken about Oscar’s trial for the murder of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in her column, but has since said she wasn’t exactly “supporting” him as he seemed to think: “Because I mentioned him in my column, he was referencing that. I wasn’t exactly supporting him, but everyone who goes through a trial will be the only one who knows what really happened.”

Oscar Pistorius was sentenced to a maximum of five years in prison for Reeva's murder on the 21st October last. 

We have to say, we never took Oscar as a regular reader of Katie’s column – but there you go.

Nothing and no one is more spiteful than this dog who HATES a man called Daniel.

In his owner’s arms he barks aggressively at Daniel and when the offending man picks him up, he instantly plays dead until handed back to his owner.

We wonder what Daniel did to be so despised?!

Fans of Bethenny Frankel have voiced their concern after a photo she posted to Twitter drew unwanted attention.

The Real Housewives of New York City star was celebrating the release of her Skinnygirl Cocktails book and tweeted a photo, writing: “Today my newest book #SkinnygirlCocktails is available wherever books are sold!! Go pick up yours today!”

However, it wasn’t the cocktails people were interested in – rather Bethenny’s frame, with Twitter users writing: “For your daughters sake, PLEASE consider seeking medical attention for your eating disorder” and “Wow. You look awfully thin here, Bethenny. I hope it’s just lighting or something.”

It wasn’t all that long ago that Bethenny was ordered by a judge to stop wearing her daughter’s pyjamas, after a photo of her in her four-year-old’s Hello Kitty nightclothes caused a lot of controversy online.

The judge claimed that Bethenny’s defence that the photo was a “joke” was not acceptable, saying: “It’s not a joke. Her child is not a joke.” The judge also added that the reality star had used “poor judgement” in posting the photo online.

Our Beauty Blogger of the Week is the lovely Holly Fitzsimons. We were delighted to catch up with the aspiring make-up artist and are thrilled to share her personal must-have's with you! Her blog All Things Holly offers tips, tricks and reviews and it's clear that Holly is a girl who absolutely lives and breathes all things fabulous. Chock-full of fashion and beauty advice, Holly's down-to-earth approach should make her a hit with girls everywhere. You can't teach passion, but luckily this girl has it in spades.

1. What is your best budget beauty buy?

Anyone who knows me will know that I LOVE Coconut Oil. Not only is it a healthy alternative to cooking oil, I've also discovered that it can be used as a cheap and natural make-up remover, moisturiser, eye cream, hair mask, etc. The list goes on! It works a treat and it's so affordable. You can pick up a big tub of Coconut Oil (preferably 100% Organic Extra Virgin) from your local supermarket for under a fiver and I can guarantee it will last ages.

2. What is your top make-up tip?

I'm going to cheat a little and say two. Some people may know this already but gel eyeliner can be used on the waterline as well as for lining the top lash line so you're basically hitting two birds with the one stone as you won't need to use an eye pencil. Grab a pencil brush with some black shadow to blend it out. It gives a nice smokey effect. I'm pretty sure you will find yourself binning your kohl, kajal or liquid liner after you see just how long lasting and pigmented a gel can be. I'd highly recommend the Inglot AMC gel eyeliner. It's amazing!

My next tip is an important one especially for aspiring make-up artists like myself. I think sometimes we neglect cleaning our make-up brushes but it it really is a MUST! I started using washing up liquid mixed with olive oil (three parts washing liquid to one part oil). Pour the two on a plate and swirl the dirty brushes in circles through the mixture. You will soon see the sheer amount of make-up that accumulates between the bristles. Once the mix has turned completely orange, repeat the circular motion on the palm of your hand before rinsing with lukewarm water. Repeat this process until the water runs clean. Leave them to dry lying on a flat surface allowing the air to circulate all around the brush head. Keep away from any heat source and this will ensure your brushes dry naturally and come out looking good as new.

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

It's so hard to choose but I am a HUGE fan of nude lippys. I own way too many, like most other girls I'm sure! At the minute my favourite has to be 'Honey Love' by MAC. I was told it was the closest to Kim Kardashian's go-to lip colour. It is a gorgeous pinky-nude shade. I like to pair it with MAC's Pro Longwear Lip Liner in 'Nice 'n' Spicy'. Fab combo!

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

Oh God .. My first perfume that I can actually remember was either 'L.A. Style' by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen or 'With Love' by Hilary Duff. I must have been about ten and I thought I was the business with this stuff on. I'd like to think I've upgraded a little since then! Right now I'm wearing Abercrombie and Fitch '8'. I love the A&F scents for daytime. My all time favourite perfume has to be Burberry 'Baby Touch' perfume though. It is divine!

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

This is a tough one as I'm such a make-up addict but if I had to choose, number one would have to be lip liner. I like the size of my lips but the outer colour is quite light so I'd like a lip liner to keep this filled in. It would have to be one from MAC as they are such good quality and the 'Pro Longwear' range are super long-lasting. My second choice would be either the Sleek Eyebrow Kit or Anastasia Beverly Hills 'Dip Brow'. My eyebrows are very sparse and having them filled in makes such a difference. Last but not least, I'd like a BB or CC Cream. I would opt for these instead of a foundation as they're more natural and give the skin a bit of a lift. I am yet to find an amazing BB cream but I do love the L'oreal 'Nude Magique' CC Cream.
