Oh, how we've waited for this moment! Amid rumours and gossip, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi have finally addressed the stories regarding an impending change in their family dynamic. So, after six years of marriage, are one of America's cutest couples welcoming a baby into their home? Unfortunately,no.

Giving us a jokey insight into their family planning decisions, the two ladies pretended to decide in front of The Ellen DeGeneres Show audience whether or not to have children.
“We're not gonna have a baby?” Ellen asked.
“No, we're not.” Portia replied.
“Good for me to know now,” the 56-year-old TV host joked.

So, that's that. Now we know. Feeling pressured into explaining their choice in the past, Portia ,41, simply said that she and Ellen decided to remain childless because they didn't feel they wanted children with “their whole hearts”.

Discussing their love for their nieces and nephews, there's no doubt that the multi-talented couple adore kids, but are content as they are. “It's just going to be me and Ellen and no babies- but we're the best of friends and married life is blissful, it really is.”

Speaking on early morning Australian TV show, Sunrise, Miley surprised everyone present by revealing her true feelings about…herself. “Look at me, I'm a walking joke. I am the joke!”

Commenting on her personality and demeanour, she thinks that she might be better suited to stand-up comedy than singing. Hmmm, don't give the critics too much ammunition, Miley!

The 21-year-old singer is currently performing all over Australia as part of her Bangerz tour and while performing a special set outside the Sydney Opera House, Miley sported pieces from her own jewellery collection, a collaboration with fashion designer Jeremy Scott. The multicoloured, beaded pieces may not be to everyone's taste, but they certainly suit Miley's infamous stage wardrobe.
 

Discussing her transition from child star to fully-fledged popstar, she revealed her secret to staying sane in such a hectic setting. “I just kind of grew up in this world, so fame and money, I kind of know what they give you, which isn't alot. I just decided, about a year ago, that my whole life goal was just to be happy all the time.”

With so many young stars struggling with the pressures of fame, we're glad Miley has such a positive outlook.

We’re not going to lie here – we are beyond excited for this musical collaboration.

It’s being reported today that singer Iggy Azalea is teaming up with the one and only Britney Spears on a new record.

Yes please!

The legendary Britney is heading back into the studio to start recording some new material and is planning some supposedly epic collaborations, starting with the fabulous Iggy.

No doubt artists will be queuing up to work with the Toxic singer, so we are pretty darn excited by this piece of news.

According to reports, the 32-year-old is planning on making her new album “a huge event” and is promising a “star-studded” record to wow her legion of fans.

We might have a little while to wait before being graced with Britney’s album, however. The singer is currently in the middle of her live show, ‘Britney: Piece of Me’, in Las Vegas, and will be taken up with the project until the end of February 2015.

If her past collaborations are anything to go by (we’re thinking Me Against the Music with Madonna – wow) then Britney fans are in for a real treat.

Can you tell that we’re a tad hyped?

Ah, the rom-com. Is there a more perfect genre of film? Probably, but none that we care to know about.

Any movie fan will knows the Nineties was the absolute golden age of romantic comedies. Nora Ephron’s scripts, Meg Ryan’s pre-Botox cuteness and Hugh Grant’s floppy English hair. All the ingredients for a great decade of films.

Here are just five of our faves…

1. Sleepless in Seattle (1993)
This was Meg Ryan’s second Nora Ephron film after When Harry Met Sally (just one year too early in 1989!) and it’s one we come back to time and time again. If that Empire State Building scene doesn’t have you tearing up, then you simply can’t call yourself a rom-com fan.

2. Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994)
As the name suggests, there’s a whole heap of love stories in this film – and one heart-wrenching funeral scene too. Have the Kleenex ready.

3. You’ve Got Mail (1998)
Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks reunited for this iconic movie, loosely based on the 1940 film The Shop Around the Corner. Watching it back now, the dial-up internet and chat rooms are adorably outdated, but any Tinder user can identify with the thrill of meeting someone new online!

4. 10 Things I Hate About You (1999)
The late Heath Ledger is a total heartthrob in this film, long before his terrifying days as The Joker. We still smile every time we hear Can’t Take My Eyes Off You.

 

5. Notting Hill (1999)
We can’t decide if this or Four Weddings is our favourite Hugh Grant flick. He gets extra bonus points for this scene…

Facing your ex is always an awkward situation, so we can’t imagine how we’d react if the whole world was watching.

Apparently, Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult aren’t too thrilled at the prospect, either.

The actors, who dated on and off for three years after meeting on the set of their first X-Men movie, and are set to reprise their roles as lovers Mystique and Beast in the next instalment.

According to reports today however, as production for X-Men: Apocalypse looms, Jennifer is said to be growing increasingly nervous about their love scenes together.

A source told Heat magazine: “It’s come at a difficult time and [Jennifer’s] worried she may get confused if she starts talking to Nick again.”

And we can see why. They couple first got together on the set of X-Men: First Class, later splitting, but deciding to give their relationship another go after reuniting to film sequel X-Men: Days of Future Past.

To make matters worse, the next movie is set to give a lot of focus to the relationship between Nick and Jen’s characters.

Sounds like a recipe for major awkwardness.

While nothing is ever easy where matters of the heart are concerned, Jennifer and Nicholas are total professionals, so we have no doubt that they’ll do a top job with the next movie.

We think it’s safe to say that Miley Cyrus has a tattoo addiction.

The Bangerz star has only gone and gotten inked yet again, just days after unveiling another tattoo homage to her brother.

We hate to sound like our mothers here, but she won’t have any bare skin left at this rate!

The latest addition to Miley’s ever-growing tattoo collection is a cute little alien on her knuckle, to go with the eye, love heart and watermelon slice drawings on the surrounding digits.

Just in the time for Halloween, then!

This is Miley’s second trip to the tattoo parlour since touching down in Australia last weekend.

The singer paid a visit to the popular Eureka Rebellion Trading parlour after flying in to Melbourne, getting brother Braison’s nickname ‘Wukong’ inked onto her wrist.

Braison has repaid his sister’s rather sweet dedication already, by getting her initials ‘MRC’ emblazoned onto the side of his baby finger.

There is a lot of love going on in the Cyrus family!

What do you make of Miley’s new tattoo?

We have to hand it to Shia LaBeouf – the guy knows how to put a hilarious twist on a serious story.

The actor appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night, and was only too happy to give his side of the story regarding his arrest earlier this year.

The 28-year-old actor opened up on the incident which saw him arrested for disorderly conduct after drunkenly wreaking havoc at a showing of the theatre show Cabaret.

If the situation itself sounded amusing in the first place, we were not prepared for the full scale of hilarity surrounding the arrest.

Admitting that he had been drinking “a lot of whiskey”, Shia went on to regale host Jimmy Kimmel about the entire debacle – from chasing a homeless man, to feeding strawberries to middle-aged women and, eventually, spitting on a policeman’s shoe.

You could not write this – the whole thing is like the plot from a blockbuster movie.

If there is one thing that you watch today, let it be this absolutely hilarious interview.

We kind of love Shia all over again.

Check out the video above.

Our Beauty Blogger of the Week is the lovely Sinéad Healy from This Life Diary. Sinéad, who hails from the west of Ireland, set up her blog as a way to kickstart her career in writing and journalism. This Life Diary offers great mix of beauty, style and life advice – we’re big fans!

We got chatting to Sinéad about some of her beauty secrets – read on!

1. What is your best budget beauty buy?
For me it would have to be ANY Catrice product. A very broad answer I know but their foundation is something I swear by and I am in love with their mascaras! The brand is affordable, great quality and perfect for young girls starting out a make-up collection as well as a favourite among those with a wide collection of high brand make up.

2. What is your top make-up tip?
It's a fairly boring answer and quite obvious: give your face a break from make up a few times a week. If that only means taking your make-up off several hours before going to bed every day, then let that be it, your skin needs a chance to breathe. Oh and water, drink ALL OF THE WATER!

3. Most girls have a much loved lipstick – what's yours?
Any of the Kate Moss Rimmel lipsticks. 01 and 107 are my all time favourites. 

4. What was your first perfume and what are you currently wearing?
Lacoste Pink was my first perfume if I remember correctly. Living in a house full of girls means there are no shortage of perfumes, but recently I have been taking to wearing the Paris brand from River Island, at just €17 a bottle it's a perfect everyday scent. For on-the-go, a roll-on version is perfect to pop in your hand bag at just €5.

5. You're only allowed to use three make-up products for the rest of your life – what are they?
A Catrice Eyebrow pencil – without one I would be expressionless as my eyebrows are extremely light. Secondly, Catrice Glamour Doll mascara which is hands down the best mascara I have used in a VERY long time. The last would be Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation. I had a love-hate relationship with this foundation for a very long time but I have grown to love it as it has great coverage and contains an SPF. 

Some great recommendations there!

It's awkward enough putting yourself out there on dating sites and Tinder to find a man, but it's another level of cringe entirely when your little brother does it on your behalf.

26-year-old Adam Clarke decided he'd had enough of his sister Natalie moaning about being single, and he decided to take matters into his own hands by posting an ad to Facebook and Gumtree for potential dates.

 

"She hasn't had a boyfriend for a long while," he says in the video. "Don't know whether it's because she's infertile, she's too old, whatever… I'm not going to go into that because she'll kick off."

He finishes by saying, "If anyone's interested, she's 33, she's got her own car, runs her own business, she's… I've run out of things to say… Anyway, if you're interested, add her on Facebook." Charming!

Natalie features in the video briefly, but she claims she thought her brother made it as a joke and deleted it soon afterwards. Nope – he posted it online and it's already had around 8,000 views.

Things didn't work out too badly for Natalie though, as she's had almost 100 responses so far and has narrowed them down to eight potential dates.

After all that embarrassment we really hope she finds someone!

We’re going to put it out there – we love Scott Disick.

But one person who is not too happy with the reality star right now is Kanye West.

According to reports today, Kanye is unhappy with Scott’s partying ways, viewing it as disrespectful to pregnant partner Kourtney.

A source told HollywoodLife that Kanye, who is extremely close to Kourtney, disapproves of Scott’s frequent absence from the family this close to her due date.

“Kanye would never leave Kim when she was pregnant, unless it was to bring money back home to the family,” said the source, adding, “He didn’t leave Kim alone when she was pregnant unless he was clocking six figures.”

Apparently Scott isn’t in the same mind as the rapper however, with the source revealing that the father-of-two is out partying regularly, and “drinking like the world is about to end.”

Scott, whose partying antics have gotten him into trouble plenty of times in the past, isn’t exactly helping the reports. Just this week he was pictured having a ball in a nightclub in Las Vegas, with Kourtney nowhere to be seen.

We’re sure that Kanye will have a quiet word in Scott’s ear if needs be!
