Taylor Swift is known for being super-lovely to her fans, and she has just proved how amazing she is all over again.
The Shake It Off singer made an incredibly sweet gesture for a sick fan, visiting him to perform a very special duet of Adele’s Someone Like You.
Taylor provided vocals while accompanied on the piano by the incredibly talented young man.
It’s so nice to see a star who invests so much time in her fans.
Just weeks after announcing she is expecting her second child, Irish singer Una Foden has some other super-exciting news to share.
The Saturdays star has just been announced as a new coach on The Voice of Ireland!
Una’s exciting news was announced this morning, with confirmation that the Tipperary native will replace Dolores O’Riordan in the red seat.
Una will join seasoned judges Kian Egan and Bressie on the panel for the next series of the show, while Jamelia’s replacement has yet to be revealed.
Currently based in London with husband and rugby star Ben Foden and their two-year-old daughter, Aoife Belle, Una will commute to Dublin for filming.
Una has just finished up a month-long greatest hits tour with The Saturdays, so no doubt she will be looking forward to turning her talents to a new project. Before fans of the band get too upset though, Una’s bandmate Frankie Bridge has said that this is definitely “not the end” for the girl group.
Phew!
We are big fans of Una’s here at Shemazing!, so we are really looking forward to seeing what she can bring to the show.
To say that Paris Fashion Week has been eventful for Kim Kardashian would be an understatement.
First, she was nearly knocked to the ground by notorious celebrity pest Vitalli Sediuk, then she and husband Kanye were embarrassingly booed for being late to the Lanvin show.
Now, the reality star has come under fire for supposedly forgetting baby North in her hotel!
Video footage has surfaced of Kim emerging from her hotel and walking to her car, hands hanging, only to realise that North is not inside. The star is seen speaking calmly to a member of her security, before turning around to go back inside to get her daughter.
While the Internet has largely gone crazy over the footage, accusing Kim of being an irresponsible mother, we can’t help but wonder if maybe this was just a carefully planned move to show off her rather eye-catching holey ensemble.
What do you think of the footage – would Kim really forget about her own daughter?
Is there anything that Disney can’t make magnificent?
Apparently not, judging by the looks of their amazing new cake invention!
Their latest stroke of genius was unveiled during their recent Fairy Tale Weddings Expo, at which they showcased their spectacular new cake projection mapping invention.
The innovative technique sees images and animations projected onto the wedding cake, adding decoration that is not only customisable but also magical!
Disney-loving couples everywhere are sure to be excited when they see the technique in action, but, naturally, having Tinkerbell flitting across your wedding cake while it’s circled by a horse-drawn carriage is not something that is going to come cheap.
Indeed, these special Disney cakes are so far only available as part of a whole Disney ‘Wishes Collection’ wedding package, with prices starting at $12,000.
Cue hearts breaking all over the world.
There is no denying the magnificence of those cakes. Let’s hold out hope for the release of a more purse-friendly version soon!

Kendall Jenner is swiftly taking over the modelling world, and could be about to land her biggest gig yet, if today’s reports are anything to go by.
Word on the web this morning is that the reality star may finally land her “dream” gig as a Victoria’s Secret ‘Angel’!
With models such as Miranda Kerr, Heidi Klum and Cara Delevingne all having paraded down the VS runway, Kendall would be following in the footsteps of some of the fashion world’s biggest stars.
The reality star has been making amazing strides in her modelling career recently, walking for some of the biggest designers during fashion month.
And, apparently, her talents have not gone unnoticed by the scouts at the lingerie brand, with a source telling In Touch: “They saw all the buzz she got from walking in New York Fashion Week. They would love to lock in a contract with her.”
Given how Kendall has previously said that her biggest dream was to be an ‘Angel’, this is certainly exciting for the model of the moment.
We think she will make an amazing addition to the sexy VS model troupe!
Actress Ellen Pompeo has become a mum for the second time – but she managed to keep her new arrival a secret from the media for two whole months!
The Grey's Anatomy lead revealed on social media last night that her daughter Sienna May Ivery had been born in August by surrogate. She already has one child, five-year-old Stella Luna.
Ellen thanked her co-stars for their help in keeping Sienna's arrival under wraps:
The star also shared a beautiful picture of her husband Chris Ivery kissing the new little one.
The black-and-white photo was captioned, "We love you more than words can say."
We know the baby's a cutie, but it's this amazing nursery we can't get over – is it possible to be jealous of a two-month-old?! Look at that stylish cot!
Ellen says she is smitten with her growing family. "I try my absolute hardest every minute of the day to be the best mother I can to those children," she said in an interview.
"Not having a mother growing up, being a mother is more significant than I can put into words," she added.
Speidi are back! Reality TV stars Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are hoping that a new TV show will be just the thing to smoothen out their marriage problems.
The Z-list Hills stars have made various celebrity appearances in the last few years, as well as taking part in series like Celebrity Big Brother and The View.
The new show, called Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars, aims to make celeb couples rethink their marriage problems and "face demons from their past that are still affecting them now, and in turn, suffocating their relationships."
Heidi and Spencer, who have been married for five years, apparently chose to appear on the show to help sort out their disagreements about having children. "Heidi desperately wants them now, while Spencer is more interested in going out and having fun," say Marriage Boot Camp's producers.
Given the fact that the couple are reportedly living in Spencer's parents house at the moment rather than the lush LA pad they shared on The Hills, we reckon the appearance on the show could be more about paying the bills than sorting out their marriage woes – but maybe we're just being cynics!
Seems like Heidi has more than just marriage issues to sort out – the star was a notable absence at ex-BFF Lauren Conrad's recent wedding, though she did take to Twitter to share her good wishes:
We hope Lauren's marriage fares better than Heidi's!
A man has invented a watch that he claims can calculate your life expectancy, and even tell you when you are going to die.
The Tikker, created by Swedish inventor Fredrik Colting, processes your medical and health history to provide you with the exact time of your death.
While it’s unlikely that the Tikker will make for a wonderful birthday gift for family and friends, its creator insists that users should the information to enrich their lives and make the most of the time they have left with their loved ones.
Now for the science behind the watch. To generate their life expectancy, users are asked to fill in the details of both their and their family’s medical history, as well as lifestyle habits including whether they smoke, or drink alcohol.
The Tikker then processes the user’s score, deducting their age, to generate their specific life expectancy span.
While you may have been expecting an exorbitant price tag, the Tikker can be purchased online for a fairly reasonable £49.99.
The Kutcher baby is probably the most anticipated new arrival of the year, so it's understandable the world can't wait for more details.
New dad Ashton asked for a little bit of privacy for the little one last night – though he did offer up some information!
The star posted a note to his website to announce the birth of Wyatt Isabelle Kutcher (cute!), adding a tongue-in-cheek message to the new baby from her proud parents: "May your life be filled with wonder, love, laughter, health, happiness, curiosity, and privacy."
He also tricked fans by sharing a total of 8 pictures of different babies – and an adorable animal or two – saying, "Can you guess which one is ours, or does it really matter? All babies are cute." Cheeky, Ashton, very cheeky!
See if you can figure it out:
In a final dig at invasive reporters and photographers, the That 70s Show actor posted this note to this Facebook page, along with a link to his website: "Here's your baby photo. Well, one of them is. Now can the helicopter please stop hovering over our house, there is a baby sleeping inside! And she's super cute."
Aaaw!
We wonder which newborn it is! No doubt she's beautiful anyway, with those amazing genes!
New research has found that losing your ability to smell could signal a greater risk of death.
US scientists made the link after carrying out a study in which they tested 3000 people aged between 57 and 85 with various different scents.
According to the study report, published in health journal PLOS One, 39 percent of those who failed the smell test died five years later.
The research deemed one in ten to have a ‘healthy’ sense of smell, after identifying close to every one of the selected scents, which included rose, peppermint, fish and leather.
The lead author of the report, Dr Jayant Pinto, clarified the findings of the study to Reuters, explaining: “It doesn’t directly cause death, but it’s a harbinger, an early warning that something has gone badly wrong.”
“Compared to a person with a normal sense of smell, a person with an absent sense of smell has three times greater risk of dying within a five-year span," he said.
Dr Jayant also added that he and his team intend to investigate their interesting findings further.

Vanessa only recently decided to cut off her “mermaid” hair and go for a short, blonde ombre bob which we LOVED and thought looked so cute on her.
Clearly though, the actress had enough of being blonde and has dyed her hair RED!
Her hairdressers shared a snap of the big change while Vanessa shared a photo of the red being washed out, captioning: "I hit my head…Am I bleeding??"
The style is once again, ombre, and while we do really like the colour and it’s perfect for this season, we wish it was all red, rather than the style she has it in…
Perhaps the change has something to do with her upcoming role in the Broadway production of Gigi!
