Oh, Taylor, how we love you!

The ever talented songstress featured on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon recently and it was pretty hilarious.

Not only did Taylor confirm she would be performing at this year’s VMAs, she also transformed into 13-year-old Natalie for another instalment of the hilarious Ew! segment.

The Love Story singer had previously teased about her make-under, and now we finally get to see it! Trust us, it was well worth the wait!

During her appearance as Natalie, Taylor confirms she would never, ever, ever, get back with any of her exes…aww, not even Harry?! Disappointed! 

See what she had to say about her exes here!

You put it in your mouth twice a day, but do you really know what’s lurking between and on the bristles?

Here are five nasty germs hiding on your toothbrush:

Influenza
Yes, the virus that causes you to get sick. If you have a cold or are coughing you need to either dump your brush when you are better or soak it in Milton tablets to ensure it is germ free.

Faecal matter
That’s poo to you and me. This is because when you flush the toilet, water droplets are injected into the surrounding area often landing on your toothbrush.

E. Coli
The germ associated with causing you to vomit and have diarrhoea can be found there. Gross.

Blood
Yes, blood – mainly caused by bleeding gums. If this is you, not only should you probably make an appointment with the dentist but you might want to clean your brush.

Food
Well you are brushing the food out of your mouth so this one is not really surprising. Gross, but not shocking.

Bet you’ll think twice now about hanging on to your brush for longer than four months.

BFF's are weird. That's the bottom line. There are things that she can say or do that if someone else did them you would kick them and run away. Here are the major differences between a good friend, and a best friend:

1. Greeting Each Other

Good Friend: “Hi, how are you?”

Best Friend: “Hey ya big bi***!"

 

2. Dinner

Good Friend: Goes back to their own house for dinner.

Best Friend: Gets fed by your parents more than they do their own.

 

3. Nudity

Good Friend: Has never seen you naked, never will.

Best Friend: Has seen you naked more times than you’ll admit to anyone.

 

4. Clothes

Good Friend: Might borrow one or two things but will give them straight back.

Best Friend: A pair of your trousers and a couple of your t shirts have been in their house for about two years at this stage.

 

5. Private Jokes

Good Friend: Might have one. Maybe two. Usually shared with a couple of other people as well.

Best Friend: Too many to count, and they’ve been going for so long they barely even make sense to the two of you, let alone anyone else.

 

6. Other Halves

Good Friend: Will be polite and welcoming.

Best Friend: Is a true judge of whether they’re good for you or not.

 

7. Owing Each Other Money

Good Friend: Might borrow a few quid here and there, but like the clothes, will always return it, and vice versa.

Best Friend: Lost count long ago because it’s bound to even itself out eventually.

 

8. Awkward Conversations/Silences

Good Friend: Some things you just don’t talk about with each other, and might have an awkward silence if one of you does accidentally bring up one of them.

Best Friend: No such thing.

 

9. Tea

Good Friend: Knows how you like your tea.

Best Friend: Tells you to make it yourself.

 

10. Drinking

Good Friend: Might do a shot with you at the bar.

Best Friend: Blatantly steals your drink and tells you when they’re doing it.

 

11. Your Kitchen

Good Friend: Asks politely if they can have something to eat or need a piece of cutlery or something.

Best Friend: Have absolutely no problem raiding it whenever they please.

 

12. Looking After You If You’re Too Drunk

Good Friend: Will look after you and be very considerate, looking after your phone and holding your hair etc.

Best Friend: Pretty much the same, with the only difference being the constant stream of abuse they give you during it.

 

13. Spooning

Good Friend: Would be pretty awkward, unless there’s a few drinks involved.

Best Friend: Inevitable.

Erm, what is this, Iggy?!

Footage of the star’s early career has emerged, and let’s just say it’s nothing like the Iggy we have come to know and obsessively try to rap like into our hairbrushes.

In what will no doubt be an embarrassing situation for the successful star, the song, entitled ‘Nothing Like Me,’ is, rather ironically, nothing like her…

What do you think of Iggy's first brush with the music industry? We're just glad there was a take 2!

It seems as if Gwyneth Paltrow just cannot escape rumours about her love life.

From a reconciliation with her ex, Chris Martin, to being linked with this new name, we just can’t keep up!

It has now been reported that the Iron Man actress is dating none other than the co-creator of Glee, Brad Falchuk.

For those who watch the show, this may not come as a big surprise, seeing as Gwyneth has appeared on the show many times as character, Holly Holliday.

Brad and his ex-wife, Suzanne, called an end to their 10-year marriage only last year, while Gwyneth and Chris announced their separation in March.

Whether the rumours may be just that, rumours, Chris and Gwyneth seem to be in a very loving and mature place.

Look, we know we should save all our money for a rainy day and all that jazz – but sometimes, you’ve just got to splurge. And there are times when you shouldn’t feel one bit guilty over your big spend, for example:

A once in a lifetime holiday
Sometimes, a last minute deal just isn’t good enough. You’ll regret not spending the money to go on a really amazing holiday when you’re older and don’t have the time to go anymore. So get rid of that guilt – it will be worth it!

A good, winter coat
We don’t mean to sound like your mammy here, but if you invest in a good coat, it could last you years. Try and get one that isn’t too trendy though – you want something with lasting style.

A computer
Going cheap on a computer or laptop may come back to bite you in the behind when it suddenly decides to crash and your whole life is gone forever (ok, so we’re being a tad dramatic, but still!). Forking out an extra couple of hundred on a computer with plenty of memory and a good processor is definitely worth it in the long run.

Your car
If you don’t live in a city, chances are you rely on your automobile a hell of a lot. That’s why it’s important to look after it. If you’re buying a new car, and you don’t know a lot about cars yourself, ask someone who does to come along with you. The cheapest option isn’t always the best option, as you’ll end up spending more money getting it fixed when it breaks down every other month. Not good.

A really nice pair of shoes, and a dress to match
Investing in a good quality pair of shoes or dress is never something to feel guilty over. Looking good is part of feeling good after all, so leave the guilt at home!

If you don’t have any important plans tonight, then you may as well make a trip down to Merrion Square to see the open air screening of Dead Poets Society at 8pm.

Good Will Hunting will also be aired in Fitzwilliam Square on Saturday night at 7.30pm.

The Light House cinema in Smithfield will be airing some of his films as well, such as Aladdin on August 23rd and Good Will Hunting on August 24th. All proceeds will go to Pieta House.

She’s undoubtedly one of the most famous babies out there thanks to her parents, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.

And now she even has her very own magazine spread.

While she may have featured in Vogue with her famous mom and dad, this time little North has the camera all to herself – and it’s simply adorable!

The 13-month-old appeared in CR Fashion Book dressed head to toe in luxurious Chanel with what are no doubt very expensive diamonds in her little ears.

In other adorable North West news, her mum recently revealed that she has two faces once the camera comes out: "she does this either mean angry Kanye face or a pose."

Are we the only ones who cannot wait for this girl’s Super Sweet 16?!

A few fashion experts have given their advice on what’s acceptable and what’s not when it comes to wearing tights.

Their rules state that:

  • If wearing nude coloured tights they should match your skin tone exactly.
  • Avoid bright colours and patterns
  • Black tights should be as light a sheen as possible
  • Never wear tights between April and October.

We don’t know what planet, or rather, what warm country they’re living in, but we take issue with these rules. Instead, here are our Irish rules for covering up your legs.

– Wear tights at all times. Middle of summer? Wear tights. In the office? Wear tights. On the town? Wear tights. Wearing shorts? Wear tights.

Tights are the Irish girl’s best friend. It doesn’t matter what time of year, what time of day – it is too cold to have bare legs.

– Light black tights are nice, but completely black is great. In fact, we want to be able to substitute the tights for leggings on a cold day and not have anyone notice.

– Wear whatever colours you want, the madder the better. You can probably trust the pastiness of your legs underneath to mute the bright tones.

– Nude tights not only should be darker than your own colour, they probably have to be. If you’re like us, nude is several shades darker than your natural winter skin. Plus, easier than fake tan, right?

The Cronut may be delicious but it’s so first-half-of-2014. It’s August, yeah? Time to move on.

The food hybrid trend however may be here to stay. Here are some more questionable combos from across the pond which might be making their way to Ireland soon.

Pizza-bon

It’s like a cinnamon bun, but instead of sugar and cinnamon all curled up in a roll, it’s tomato and cheese.

Is it a heart attack on a plate or the most delicious sounding thing ever?

Why not both?

Cragal

Similar to the cronut, the cragal is a combination of a bagal and a croissant. It’s essentially a cronut you can put cream cheese on. Mmmmm…

Ramen Burger

This is one we’re not so sure about. It replaces the burger buns with discs of compressed noodles to give a more Eastern feel to the American classic. We love noodles as much as anyone, but apart from looking a bit gross, doesn’t it kind of ruin the point of noodles? This seems like something a desperate student would cobble together rather than an actual invention.
