Kelly Osbourne is pretty furious this morning.

The star has taken to social media to blast the press for writing “fictitious” stories regarding Joan Rivers, expressing her anger in a spectacular Twitter rant.

Kelly was clearly riled after a report emerged over the weekend which claimed that the 29-year-old was planning to adopt the deceased comedienne’s dogs.

The article reported that Kelly, who was extremely close her Fashion Police co-star Joan, was keen to take in her four dogs in the wake of her death.

While the article seems pretty harmless, clearly the privacy invasion during such a sad and difficult time has rubbed Kelly up the wrong way.

The reality star vented her fury this morning, tweeting: “WTF is wrong w/ people, why can’t you just let her RIP? Instead U [sic] still choose 2 write fictitious stories about her dogs to make $! #Sickening”.

Kelly was devastated after Joan’s passing last month, releasing a statement in which she said that she was “completely heartbroken”, describing Joan as “my teacher, therapist, closest friend, inspiration and the only grandmother I ever knew.”

Poor Kelly. With Joan’s unexpected death still so raw, it must be extremely difficult to have to face these kinds of stories each day.

Honesty is the foundation of any strong relationship, but the odd white lie can be just as important in keeping things running along smoothly.

While we’re certainly not advocating telling big fibs, a little “untruth” isn’t the worst thing in the world if it means he cares and want you to be happy.

Here are nine things your man has most definitely lied about at one point or another…

1. His “number”
Unless you both were each other’s first, it’s more than likely he’s slept with way more/less people than he’d ever let on. Maybe he didn’t want you to know how inexperienced he was, or maybe he didn’t want you to feel jealous. Either way, when you asked him he probably picked a random number from the air and now needs to stick with that for the rest of his days.

2. How drunk he was last night
“We had fair few pints” can be roughly translated to “We started on the Jagerbombs around 6pm, I lost my keys, climbed in the front window holding my kebab and fell asleep on the stairs until the sun woke me at 6am.”

3. If he thinks your friends are good looking
It’s possible to think someone’s hot without actually fancying them, but that doesn’t mean he’s going to own up to it. When you ask if he thinks your bestie is hot he’ll probably look shifty and say “What? I hadn’t noticed. Is she?” even if she’s got looks to rival Megan Fox.

4. How much porn he watches
This is just one thing you’re NEVER going to get an honest answer about, so cut your losses now! If you’d like a rough estimate, take the answer he gave you and multiply it by 20. That should do it.

5. What he thinks of your family
Even if your family are the most relaxed around, in-laws are always going to be hard to deal with. Sure, he doesn’t mind heading over for Sunday dinner but that doesn’t mean he and your dad are going to be BFFs.

6. What that dress looks like on you
We’re not suggesting he’d ever think you look anything less than hot, but asking him to rate ten different outfits in a row as you get ready for dinner is just going to prompt him to say “perfect!” over and over again until you go with the first dress you tried on anyway.

7. If he really wants to go on that Girls’ Night Out with you
This lie is generally told early on in the relationship, where you’re both super eager to please one another. What better way to introduce him to your friends than to invite him along to your catch-up cocktail night? He might grin and bear it but it’s all part of the call of duty!

8. If he prefers your cooking to his mam’s
An Irish man is always going to favour his mammy’s cooking, sorry ladies. That slow-cooked beef with roasted root vegetables is just never going to beat a bowl of plain old stew mopped up with some bread and butter!

9. What he really thinks of cuddling
Spooning, snuggling, whatever your preference, you can be guaranteed it's not his. He might enjoy it for five minutes in bed but all you're really doing is forcing him to give up precious bed space!

Bridesmaids has to go down as one of the funniest chick flicks of recent years, so naturally, we’re all bursting for a sequel.

And while previous interviews with cast and crew made it look like it may never happen, one of the film’s biggest stars has just given us fresh hope.

Melissa McCarthy, who played the hilarious Megan Price in the movie, has said that she would be all for reprising her role in a follow-up instalment.

Use your powers of persuasion, Melissa!

Speaking in a recent radio interview, the award-winning actress said: “I had such a good time doing that movie. Every single day on that movie was ridiculously fun.”

“At some point, if Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo say, ‘You know what, we wrote another one’, I would be tickled pink to do it,” she added.

While the movie cleaned up during awards season, producer Judd Apatow previously admitted that he was reluctant to undertake a sequel unless the script could do justice to the original.

“The key is we have to come up with an idea that is as good, or better than the first one,” he said at the time.

With a cast and crew like that on board, we’re sure they are up to the challenge.

Fingers crossed that Melissa’s enthusiasm sets the wheels in motion!

So he did only just grace us with his latest album, but we can't deny that we are devastated over this Ed Sheeran news.

The star has revealed that his next album probably won’t be out until 2016.

What?! But that’s two whole years that we’ll have to wait!

While this will come as sad news to Ed’s legion of fans around the world, his reasoning behind the delay is most certainly justified.

Speaking to The Sun, the 23-year-old star admitted that he has not had a break since before signing his record deal, and he’s looking forward to taking some well-deserved time off.

“I haven’t had any time off since before I signed my record deal, and I want some! I’ll do what I enjoy and it won’t feel like work,” he said.

The hard-working singer added that he won’t be bringing out a Christmas single for fear that it would be “overkill”, saying: “If my song came out next year or the year after, when I haven’t released anything for a while, it will be bigger.”

There is no doubt that Ed’s one of the most dedicated musicians out there, so we think we’ll leave him off this time around….but we’ll be counting down the days until the new record is released!

Start making plans for a few cosy trips to the cinema this week as it looks like you’ll be spoilt for choice!

From Hollywood’s finest women in The Homesman to sharp humour (and a few hotties) in Kingsman: The Secret Service, there’s a little something for everyone!

Here’s a sneak peek…

The Judge

October 17th

Robert Downey Jr is the lead in this drama, which he also produced. The Iron Man star plays big time Chicago lawyer Hank Palmer who returns to his tiny hometown for his mother’s funeral, only to discover that his estranged father is suspected of murdering another man in a hit-and-run. On his journey to discover the truth and defend his father, Hank reconnects with a place he had left behind long ago. Billy Bob Thornton and Leighton Meester also star.

 

The Homesman

October 17th

Hilary Swank gives her best performance in years in this period film, which got great reviews at Cannes Film Festival earlier in 2014 and is tipped as an Oscars contender. The actress plays a pioneer woman who strikes a deal with a man (Tommy Lee Jones) that she finds hanging from a noose, left for dead. She’ll cut him free if he’ll help her on her six week journey to Iowa, bringing with them three women who have been driven insane by the hardships of life on the Nebraskan plains. 

 

The Best Of Me

October 15th

Based on the novel by best-selling author Nicholas Sparks, The Best of Me tells the story of star-crossed lovers Dawson (James Marsden) and Amanda (Michelle Monaghan) who find themselves together again after 20 years apart. Neither can forget their first true love – but can their relationship overcome the problems that drove them apart all those years ago? Bring the Kleenex!

 

Kingsman: The Secret Service

October 17th

This high-octane action comedy is directed by Matthew Vaughn, the man behind Kick Ass and X-Men: First Class. Colin Firth stars as veteran secret agent Harry Hart, who sees potential in a rough kid from the wrong side of the tracks. His aim is to train him up as part of the agency’s super-competitive spy training programme. Samuel L. Jackson and Michael Caine also star in what will surely be one of the biggest action flicks of the year.

Now this is an impressive addition to any CV.

Esquire magazine has just unveiled actress Penelope Cruz as its ‘Sexiest Woman Alive’ for 2014.

The impressive title comes with a coveted cover shoot for the latest issue of the magazine, and the 40-year-old Vicky Christina Barcelona star is positively smouldering on the front page.

While Penelope refused to discuss either her husband, Javier Bardem, or their children, Leonardo and Luna, she did offer an interesting insight into what she finds “attractive” – and it has nothing to do with looks.

“For me, the most attractive, charming, cool, fun, interesting thing is – how could I call it? A plan,” she said.

Penelope is carrying the ‘Sexiest Woman’ torch on from last year’s winner, actress Scarlett Johansson, and becomes the eleventh woman to be honoured with the title.

Other past winners of the title include Angelina Jolie, new mum Mila Kunis, Charlize Theron and Jessica Biel.

Judging from her absolutely stunning photo shoot in the November issue of Esquire, the magazine has definitely made a stellar choice!

That is one fancy title to have. We’ll hold out for next year!

It looks like Zac Efron may have found himself a new lady.

Cue hearts breaking everywhere.

The actor set the rumour mill in motion over the weekend after being spotted at Copenhagen airport with a mystery blonde on his arm.

It looks like Zac and his new lady friend were keen to keep a low profile, with both covering their faces with sunglasses, but the awaiting paparazzi managed to catch a glimpse of the pair looking very cosy indeed.

The 26-year-old Neighbours star has been pretty much off the radar since his summer fling with actress Michelle Rodriguez.

The pair hit the headlines after being spotted on holiday together in Italy, and were pictured having some serious PDAs over the following weeks.

According to reports however, their short-lived romance turned sour after a major bust-up in Ibiza, supposedly leaving Zac heartbroken.

Poor thing.

Well, whoever this lucky lady is, we hope she can put the pieces back together for him!

A new campaign aims to "turn the traditional sense of beauty upside down" with a series of gorgeous images of physically disabled women, posing with and without their wheelchairs.

The project, called Raw Beauty NYC, features 20 different women with disabilities. It was started by former model Wendy Crawford, who was hit by a drunk driver in her 30s and is now a quadriplegic.

One of the women involved described the campaign as an opportunity for those involved to "showcase who they are beyond the wheelchair."

Each photo is different, portraying the women exactly as they wished to be seen.

Photographer Walter Chin said the project was about more than just the 20 females involved. "To me, this campaign is telling 20 stories of inspiration through the lens of a camera to encourage millions of women worldwide to join the Raw Beauty movement," he said.

See the campaign video below:

Anyone who’s feeling a bit out-of-pocket after the weekend might want to look away now.

The New York Post has released a list of the top celebrity earners under the age of 25, and it makes for impressive but depressing reading!

We’re not a bit surprised to see Taylor Swift sitting pretty at the top of the list, but our minds are blown after finding out how much the Shake It Off singer is worth, at the tender age of 24 – $200 million.

Yes, you read that correctly.

Clearly, Miley Cyrus has benefited from the controversy surrounding her antics since the VMAs, and she takes second place with a fortune of $150 million, while Justin Bieber takes the third spot with a cool $130 million.

One Direction and Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe finish up the top five, with their earnings totalling a whopping $118 million (combined) and $110 million, respectively.

Take a deep breath and remember that there is still the miniscule chance that you may win the lottery someday.

TOWIE stars Lauren Pope and Kirk Norcross have put their differences behind them and finally rekindled their on-again-off-again romance.

The couple, who have a six year age gap, got together back in 2010 but split up after just eight months saying things had lost their "spark." Last year they enjoyed another brief fling, resulting in a pregnancy scare for Lauren.

Since then, Kirk, who starred in the first two series of TOWIE, has been linked to models Jodie Marsh and Cami Lee, while Lauren enjoyed a brief romance with co-star Lewis Bloor.

She called things off with Lewis during a recent episode of The Only Way is Ibiza after finding out he had cheated on her.

And after some time apart, it seems Lauren and Kirk have fallen in love all over again! Kirk shared a cosy snap of himself and Lauren over the weekend, captioning it "Feeling fresh after a nice chill night with my Popey!"

It seems the couple talked things over once and for all – later in the evening Kirk took to Twitter again to say:

We hope things work out for the couple!

Model Pippa O' Connor was in shock last night after the sudden death of her mum Louise over the weekend.

​Pippa, her brother Cian and her sister Susannah were left devastated after their mum's body was found at her home in Johnstown, Kildare early on Saturday. 

It is believed she may have suffered a heart attack.

The model broke the news to her fans on Facebook last night, posting this touching message along with a picture:

The funeral is expected to take place on Wednesday.

Speaking to the Irish Independent, Cian said the entire family were reeling from the news. "Losing a parent is always difficult but when it comes out of the blue, it really knocks you. Right now we are spending time together as a family and grieving together."

Pippa's parents separated when she was just one, and she has often spoken about her close relationship with her mother – with her two siblings at boarding school it was just the two of them at home.

The model has one son, Ollie, with husband Brian Ormond.

Irish singer Una Foden has discovered the sex of her new baby, and she is delighted with the news! 

The Saturdays singer is expecting a little boy with husband Ben. 

That is going to be one handsome little man!

Una admitted she was shocked when she first heard the news. "I was actually a little bit taken aback when we found out we were going to have a son," she told Hello! magazine. "But now I'm over the moon and can't wait to meet our little boy."

Ben, however, wasn't quite so surprised! "Ben was adamant from the moment we knew we'd conceived again that we were having a boy," said Una.

The couple already have one child together, the adorable two-year-old Aoife Belle. Just look at that gorgeous family!

In a separate interview, Ben revealed how proud he was of his wife's strength and hard work. "Una's been great,' he said. 'Going on that big tour performing every night on stage is a big ask for someone who is carrying a child so I couldn't be prouder. She's done really well so far."

And if this tweet from Una is anything to go by, Ben was every bit the doting husband as the star celebrated her 33rd birthday over the weekend:

The couple announced they were expecting in September, by posting a sweet picture of Aoife Belle in a t-shirt which said "I'm going to be a big sister." 

Aaaw!
