In every relationship, there’s the good days and the bad. Bad outweighs the good because when they’re bad, they’re Tyson bad.  It’s always the boy’s fault.  Even if it’s not, it is. Girls sniff them out, searching for the next row, the next wrong word or wrong look. Here is a breakdown of the top fights gals start with their boyfriends and the silliest boy answers:

1.  Were you looking at that girl?

checking out

“No, what the hell.  I was looking at that building, I didn’t even see her.” Oh he saw her alright. 

2.  Why are you still friends with your ex-girlfriend on Facebook?

“I’ve never even been on her page.  Makes no difference to me what she’s at.” 

3.  Ah right, you’re going out with your friends tonight then?

drinking

“Yeah, we’re only going out for a few.  Nothing crazy, quiet enough night.” Um, wasn't tonight supposed to be date night? Nice…

4.  Why do you never wear that t-shirt I got you?

“I have worn that t-shirt soo many times.  You just haven’t seen me those days.” It's all lies. Why doesn't he just say he hates it? So annoying. 

5.  Why do you always have to drive?

“Because I’m a better driver.” All women know this to be false. 

6. You’re not romantic at all…

“I’m not a big woman.”  Would it kill him to pick a daisy from the garden? Just SOMETHING?! We're not asking for a handwritten poem or anything like. 

7. You didn’t even get me a card?!

i hate you

“I thought it was tomorrow.” Men need to learn birthdays are important to most girls, as are anniversaries and Valentine's Day. Deal with it and act accordingly.

It has been reported that Isla Fisher is expecting her third child with Sacha Baron Cohen.

The couple, who were married in 2010 are already parents to two little girls; Olive and Elula.

According to reports, the actress is said to be about three months along. 

The Now You See Me actress first sparked rumours of a baby bump when she was spotted hiding her tummy on an outing in London just days ago.

So cute – we just love these two together!

We still can't believe Ali G bagged Isla…!

Cara Delevingne has a lot going for her. She's a stunning model, a successful actress, and she's besties with the likes of Rihanna, Harry Styles and Kate Moss.

But, if we're being honest, the main thing we're envious of is Cara's eyebrows. So dark and well-maintained! That girl is officially Queen of Brows.

Which is why we nearly fell off our chairs when we saw the model's latest beauty move. During the Givenchy show at Paris Fashion Week, Cara walked the runway with what looked like no eyebrows at all, and we just about burst into tears.

Panic not though, it turns out the star's famous brows were just bleached by make-up artist Pat McGrath as part of the show. See… they're still there. Just paler!

We hope the barely-there eyebrows aren't a permanent look – it's not one we'd be big fans of!

Many of Stella McCartney’s followers were left angry and disappointed yesterday when the designer shared an image of a model wearing one of her designs.

The photo sparked a massive outcry from her followers with people saying she was worryingly thin: “girl’s arms look scary. Shame on you Stella.”

Another follower said that the model must realise she is not healthy: “No offence to the model but you must be aware you are not healthy.”

Stella was then forced to pull the photo, replacing it with a different model in the same design before issuing an apology through her rep to The Independent: “We are a house that celebrates all shapes, all sizes, all races and all ages. We should have been more mindful… It was a quick snap done backstage that was misleading. We listened to our followers and we took it down and replaced it. We can only apologise if we offended anyone.”

Despite the replacement of the photo, followers are still unimpressed with many saying: “Considering what a huge influence stella is on young people and as the mother of a young girl I’m appalled at the previous ‘model’ pic.”

Following on from the success of her award-winning Heat fragrance range, Beyoncé has unveiled her latest fragrance, Wild Orchid, to the world.

With an “enticing, mouth-watering” scent, the fifth fragrance in the Beyoncé’s popular Heat range is an exotic one that channels the singer’s fierce and feminine energy.

With notes of coconut water, amber and pomegranate, it’s the Butterfly Orchid – believed to have magical aphrodisiac qualities – that gives Wild Orchid its exotic signature.

Beyoncé looks strikingly beautiful in the campaign for the new fragrance, shot by renowned photographer Michael Thompson, channelling the simmering seduction of the scent in a flowing purple organza gown.

Michele Alexander shared a video on her Facebook account in which she described how a man named Jay had been following her and friend asking for her phone number for over two blocks. 

Eventually she gets sick of him and turns around with the best response anyone has had to a heckler ever!

Just watch and see…it's amazing.

Justin Bieber and Orlando Bloom came to blows when a feud surrounding their ladies came to a head.

Orlando was said not to be Justin’s biggest fan after he reportedly flirted with his now ex-wife, Miranda Kerr. Justin was then faced with rumours that his then and now current girlfriend, Selena Gomez, was romantically linked to Orlando.

The entire situation came to a head in Ibiza back in July when a video surfaced showing Orlando swing for Justin with people intervening before things got ugly.

So what about the ladies involved in the lads feud?

Surely neither Selena nor Miranda were too impressed by the rumours of their significant others, but of course us ladies don’t come to blows – we pose with one another and smile sweetly for the cameras!

Which is exactly what Selena and Miranda did last night when they encountered one another during Paris Fashion Week last night.

Justin, who is said to be trying to avoid Miranda, skipped the event and instead went for dinner with Kendall Jenner, another of Selena’s supposed frenemies.

At an event held by CR Fashion Book Justin stuck close to the Jenner/Kardashian clan while his girlfriend mingled elsewhere, according to reports. 

Selena and Justin JUST got back together – could they be on the rocks again?!

Hmm, this web is very, very tangled indeed!

Those last few days before payday can be fairly bleak. Making a fiver last a full week certainly isn’t each but it can be done. We know, because we’ve been there! The struggle is real.

Here are a few things you’ve definitely tried when you’re living off your last few coppers…

1. Chancing your arm on the bus
€2.65 for bus fare? Ain’t nobody got time for that. A handful of change and a smile will do the job nicely, as long as the bus driver isn’t in a foul mood. As for the Luas, you might be checking over your shoulder for inspectors for the entire journey, but hopefully good karma from all the other times you DID pay (promise) will see you through this time.

2. Heading home for free food
Obviously this is only an option if you can score a free lift or don’t live too far away. If you do manage to make it home though, you’ll eat like a king. Come at me delicious mammy dinners!

3. Going to aaaall the work events for free snacks
Whether it’s bog standard triangular sambos or swanky canapés, if you can be guaranteed something to eat, you’ll be there. Bonus points if there’s free wine!

4. Saying a silent prayer every time you use the ATM
You’ve hunted down the only cash machine for miles that hands out €10 notes – now to find out if you even have that much in your account. There’s nothing like the sweet relief when you hear that noise, the one that means cash is coming your way.

5. Giving everyone DIY gifts for their birthday
Of course this would be the month that six different pals have their birthdays. An unframed photo of the two of you together? It’ll have to do. Who needs fancy gifts and dinners out, anyway?

6. Forgoing fake tan and baring your pasty arms
When the choice comes down to Sally Hansen or food, sometimes you just need to bite the bullet and work the eerily pale look. Or, y’know, go with out breakfast, lunch and dinner. Priorities, priorities.

7. Creating bizarre food combinations from your kitchen cupboard
Mmmm, cous cous and baked beans. Delish. It’s amazing how many different meals you can actually make from a solitary bag of brown rice, as long as you are willing to forgo taste and flavour…

8. Repeatedly checking your bank balance the night before payday
Usually you don’t get paid until the morning but maybe there’s been some weird glitch? If your bank balance could replenish itself before Dominos stop doing deliveries for the night, that would just be A1.

If you say yes to the majority of these, we hate to tell you…you're totally in love!

1. You cant stop thinking about them
And fantasising about what it would be like if you lived with them as you make yourself a cup of tea. 

2. You’ve forgotten your ex
You hear you and your ex’s song and suddenly you realise you haven’t thought about them in weeks. Hallelujah.

3. Everything relates to them
Oh that’s their favourite coffee shop, better pick one up… Oh look, their favourite band is playing, I should get tickets… Oh there’s that person they despise, better go get my shovel.

ecstatic

4. You like their quirks
That little clicking sound that comes deep within their flem cave when they sleep… Gosh that’s cute.

5. You enjoy doing mundane things, because you’re doing it with them
Ikea furniture building? Pass me the Allen key you old sailor you.

 

6. You find yourself smiling to yourself when you think about them
You know you look like a complete muppet and you don’t even care

7. You don’t notice the opposite sex (as much…)
Your friends point out the hot guy who just walked into the bar and all you have to say is ‘meh’

giphy

8. You feel comfortable with them
Clipping your toenails in their face, that’s love.

9. You don’t feel like going out (as much…)
You just don’t see the point in drinking to debauchery levels when you’ll just want to go home for pizza and snuggles at 1.30am

10. You feel like planning for the future
Not marriage yet – but you’re open to discussing Easter holidays.

Taylor Swift has been rocking a bob for a few months now and we have to say we are mad about it – it even convinced a few of us here to go for the chop!

So we’re a little confused as to why Vogue didn’t embrace Taylor’s new haircut for their upcoming November issue and instead slicked her hair back so it looks like she has a mullet… eek.

We love the cover in general – the pastels look great and Taylor looks stunning, as always. 

She was just recently topped People magazine's best dressed list, and there's no doubt why – she has been rocking some serious outfits recently!

But that hair though…is it just us?!

Ah, Tinder. We’re never sure if we love it or absolutely despise it. Sure, it offers singles a whole new market for finding potential dates, but sometimes it’s all just way too much bother.

What if that guy you just swiped left for could actually have been the love of your life? We can’t be dealing with that kind of pressure every time we use it!

Here are some of the thoughts that run through every Tinder user’s head at one time or another…

1. I need to look good in my profile picture. But not TOO good.
Creating your Tinder profile is an extremely stressful process. “Do I go with this HILARIOUS night out picture where I look like a fun-loving gal even though my make-up’s a mess? Or do I go with this standard selfie where I look kinda pretty but very dull? Maybe I’ll just put a picture of myself looking pensive on a beach to show I’m totally above this whole online dating thing.” So many choices.

2. I have to write a blurb? Oh nooooo.
“A quote? A witty one-liner? Some facts about myself? Oh god, this is impossible. I’ll just leave it blank, that way I’ll seem aloof and mysterious.”

3. I have no matches yet. I give up. I’m going to be an old cat lady.
It always takes a while for your profile to pop up on other people’s radars. That waiting period where you have no matches whatsoever despite going totally overboard with your right-swipes is hellish. But just give it time!

4. Oh, this guy has a picture of him and his ex-girlfriend. Charming.
Nothing screams “I’m on the rebound!” more than a profile picture showing someone cozying up to their ex. Yes, ok sir, it’s proof that you are capable of love. Well done you.

5. Uh-oh. A group picture. What are the odds he’s the one hot guy?
Lads love to choose a group shot as their profile snap, to show how “up for the craic” they are. Problem is, it’s impossible to tell who’s who – especially if all of his pics are in groups. If he can’t be bothered to take one solo pic, he’s probably not worth the effort.

6. OMG A MATCH! SHOULD I MESSAGE HIM?
Sometimes the stars align and that hottie you swiped right for clearly felt the same about you. Rejoice! Now comes the choice – wait around until he messages or send him one yourself. Our opinion? It’s online dating. What have you got to lose? He’ll probably love the fact you made the first move!

7. We’re going on a date. Is it going to be super awkward?
Even though you’ve seen a few pictures of your match, meeting someone from Tinder is essentially like going on a blind date. Rather than messaging for weeks on end, try to get out there and actually meet as soon as possible. That way you can get to know each other in person! Sure, the first few minutes will be a tad awkward and you’ll probably trip over your words saying hello to him. But who cares?

8. What if we fall in love? Do I have to tell my granny we met on Tinder?
Even though practically every second person is using it, there’s still a little bit of a stigma about being a Tinder couple. You can either mutter incoherently about “meeting on a night out” whenever someone asks or you can hold your head high and tell the truth!
