Which actress regrets starring in The O.C.?

Celebrity

Aug 6, 2014

Mischa Barton broke our hearts today, when she admitted that if given the choice again, she would "probably not" have starred in the hit show, The O.C.

What?! The actress said she was skeptical from the start when it came to starring in the hit teen drama.

"It's something I came so close to not doing. I had a really great thing with film. People say be grateful for what you have but it certainly not the kind of thing I was expecting it to be. I've kind of seen it all”

Mischa didn’t have an easy time after leaving the show though. She was arrested for DUI in 2007 and in 2009, the actress was admitted into a psych ward after she threatened to take her own life.

But Mischa says she doesn’t care about how she’s perceived in the media, but admitted that the pressure fame placed on her, was difficult.

"It's really tough when you are young in this business. People blow a lot of hot air at you. That's the main thing. Keep your head on your shoulders—even when you think your head is on your shoulders, sometimes it isn't. It's just one of those things when you are growing under a microscope and changing and that evolution is human. That humanity aspect means flaws—which people don't want to see."

We guess that makes sense, but you will always be Marissa Cooper to us Mischa!

Well, it is clear that Rihanna and her ex, Drake, are not on good terms at the moment if his latest concert is anything to go by.

The couple had been dating on and off for nearly two years now but called an end to their relationship recently.

At a recent concert in Toronto, the rapper displayed an image of Rihanna on the screen behind him along with three sixes, a symbol often associated with the devil.

Rihanna’s face was burning red on the backdrop as Drake sang a song that has long been said to be about his famous ex, “Days of East.”

Eek, doesn’t sound like things ended too well between these two!

The 7 most irritating Instagram posts ever

Uncategorized

Aug 6, 2014

by Amber Saunders

Instagram is a place to look good, that much is obvious (hello, filters?!) However, there are those choice few who just take it TOO FAR. Consider yourself blocked.

1. Airport Check-in
It's jealousy, so what.

2. Juice Diets
Ooh, you're just sooooo healthy. Damn it, where's the Dairy Milk?!

3. Healthy Foods
#paleo #cleanliving #glutenfree #fitspo #healthyliving – #youaresoannoyingcanyoupleasestopdoingthisthanks. Unless you are blogging, or have a purpose behind this, no one cares if you went to the gym, you’re eating healthily or you made the most delicious paleo brownies.

4. #nofilter
We get it. You are not just good looking, you are good looking enough to not use a filter. Congratulations! You have achieved more than you know. On a serious note, this hastag is painful.

5. Fake Quotes
Finding a quote in a meme or finding one in Google images doesn’t necessarily mean it is true. Some of the Marilyn Monroe and Brigitte Bardot quotes people post, they have never said.

6. Work-Out Selfies
Oh no, you forget to tell the world you were going to the gym, what will you do now? For some reason some fellow Instagrammers out there feel they should let the world know every time they are in the gym. Whether it is on the treadmill, in the locker room or lifting weights, you just have to show people.

7. Couple Selfies
It can be cute if done tastefully but we do not want to see you sticking your tongue down your fella's throat!

Beauty blogger of the week: Karen and Joanne Constantine

Aug 6, 2014

by Amber Saunders

Lovely Girlie Bits is run by Irish sisters Karen and Joanne Constantine who have a passion for all things beauty and fashion. Their blog is full of tips on make-up, skincare, hair care and fashion and is written with a hilarious tone that will keep you informed and laughing at the same time.

SHEmazing! caught up with Karen who let us in on her beauty secrets and tips:

What is your best budget beauty buy?
There are so many great quality beauty bits out there on the market but if I had to pick just one, it'd have to be Garnier's Micellar Cleansing Water. It's fantastic for removing make-up in a jiffy and because it's always on special offer, there's no excuse not to pick up a bottle and start taking your make-up off each night!

What is your top makeup tip?
I'm going to cheat and give a general beauty tip and a make-up tip because I'm bold! If there's one thing I tell everyone who'll listen to me, it's to ditch the make-up wipes. My skin was literally transformed within three weeks of not using them and cleansing my face properly. My top make-up tip is to blend. Blend your foundation, blend your blush, blend your eyeshadow, blend your bronzer and you will have flawless makeup.

Most girls have much-loved lipstick, what's yours?
Asking me to pick one lipstick is like asking me to pick my favourite child. Thankfully, I've no children and my lipsticks don't get their feelings hurt when I play favourites, so at the moment I'm loving Clarins Joli Rouge in Coral Tulip and The Body Shop Colour Crush Shine in Sunset Romance. I'm more of a gloss girl at heart though and am obsessed with YSL's Gloss Volupte in Beige Nu from the Black Fetish collection and all of the Colour Elixir Glosses from Max Factor.

What was your very first perfume and what are you currently wearing?
I'm obsessed with perfumes and I thank my parents for that. My dad had more fragrances than any other man I know and even now my mam has a bottle of the first ever perfume I bought and that's Anais Anais! How I didn't choke people with the smell of it is beyond me but I loved it. Right now I'm wearing L'Occitane's Cherry Blossom and it is amazing. Although I've only had it a few weeks, it's the one to beat this year!

You're only allowed to use three make-up products for the rest of your life – what are they?
Mascara. I have beady villainous eyes without mascara and it's my desert island product hands down. Wearing it defines my eyeballs, makes me look awake and resemble a human being! Next is a base. I'm embracing wearing a lighter coverage on my skin and so I'd be happy to use Bourjois 123 Perfect CC Cream for the rest of my life. It makes my skin look healthy and radiant. Finally, I'd need a coral lip. Either of the two corals I mentioned above would be fine by me and I'd be able to use them as a blush too!

Check out Lovely Girlie Bits and don’t forget to follow the girls on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube.

It looks like an Irish wedding for this famous couple!

It has been reported that Courteney Cox and Johnny McDaid are going to be having an Irish wedding after all.

The couple were said to be blown away by Ashford Castle which lies on the Mayo-Galway border and are planning on tying the knot there at the end of the year.

This Irish wedding will then be followed by a massive Malibu party to celebrate their nuptials stateside.

Friends actress, Courteney, and Snow Patrol musician, Johnny, became engaged back in June and had been spotted in Ireland this past month.

Will this make for a Friends reunion? Well, they did go to London after all!

Proof that McDonald’s CAN be fancy!

Aug 6, 2014

by Amber Saunders

A Canadian man called Mark Hayes, and his anonymous friend, decided to take it upon themselves to figure out if McDonald’s food, could look as fancy as what you’d get in an expensive restaurant.

He posted his photos on reddit saying: “My friend and I squared off in the kitchen to see who could turn the ingredients of a Big Mac Meal fancy”.

The photos speak for themselves really – though is it just us, or does a burger in a box look a lot more appetising than when it’s all spread across a plate like this?

This is truly excellent.

Another video has been made of Barack Obama singing famous songs and this time it's one of our all time favourites.

Watch as the President of the United States sings (well, sort of!) Iggy Azalea's summer hit, Fancy.

Now if only we could get him to actually do it…!

Kanye West openly disses Britney Spears

Kanye West is being very, well Kanye West again!

During a deposition hearing for the case against him in which he damaged a photographer’s camera, the rapper has been reported by TMZ as saying: “I’m the smartest celebrity you’ve ever f***ing dealt with. I’m not Britney Spears.”

Did he seriously just go there?!

There is really no need for Kanye to compare himself to Britney, and especially in such a negative light.

We love Brit here and it’s good to see her doing so well after a few hard years so we hope she doesn’t let Kanye knock her.

26 toys every Irish person played with as a child

Uncategorized

Aug 6, 2014

by Amber Saunders

Growing up in Ireland, we had a LOT of toys to choose from. Here are some of the toys that have made the list of our favourites:

1. Micro Scooters
They were all the craze for those 10- and 11-year-old birthday gifts. And nothing was quite as cool as scooting along your estate showing everyone what you got. They are still in fashion as you will know if one rolls over your foot on your walk to work.

2. Power Rangers
The variety of colours, the TV show, they dominated the '90s. Go, go Power Rangers! Were you the pink or yellow ranger?!

3. Polly Pocket
The smallest little woman in the smallest little house in the world. Almost immediately after opening, Polly Pocket was lost forever but we did love her.

4. Super Soaker
Essential for a sunny day on the estate green.

5. Furby
Even though their constant ‘FURBY’ noises did get annoying, they were the toy of the '90s. Coming in different colors and designs, they were a child’s dream.

6. Troll Dolls
These little guys were weird and naked and had no function but we loved their smiling faces. Nawww.

7. Barbie
The disproportionate blonde bombshell that gave every girl unrealistic expectations about hair, make-up and waistlines.

8. Bop It
This piece of equipment gave us kids our first high pressure situation. BOP IT!

9. Tamagotchi
This toy taught us how to look after a fake animal that was needy. Was the lesson responsibility or… let something die so you don’t have to deal with it?

10. POGS
The loom band of the '90s.

11. TalkBoy/Girl
The recording device that saved Macaulay Culkin's life in Home Alone 2. It could speed up OR slow down your voice.

12. Pokemon Card
Our moms really hated that we had to catch em' all.

13. TY Beanie Babies
Great stocking fillers and have been said to be quite the collectors item. Don’t throw these babies out, they could be big sellers on eBay in a few years.

14. Buzz Lightyear Action
This little hero sent parents into a frenzy one Christmas (’95 perhaps…?) as every little boy and girl had their eye on this man after seeing Toy Story 1.

15. Hula hoop
A simple design that some kids could master while others looked like a clapping seal.

16. Hungry Hippos
Parents everywhere cursed the day this game was born. The Hungry Hippos just made unnecessary noise and the balls found their way down the couch.

17. My Little Pony
The lucky ones got a mini hairbrush to style their Pony’s hair.

18. Operation
Call the doctor, it’s so much fun to play!

19. Slinky
Simple, yet genius

20. Yo-Yo
Dominating the school yard, ‘walking the dog’ meant something magical when it came to a yo-yo!

21. Roller skates
Before you were allowed the big boy/girl roller skates/blades, you had to test these bad boys out. Highly uncomfortable and dangerous on the wrong feet.

22. Play-doh
The only time play-doh was its true colour was when it JUST came out of its little pots. Then it all melded together and turned a brownish pukey green. It melded into the carpet or your friends hair… it smelled great though.

23. Rubik cube
Genius design blah blah blah … way to make kids feel stoopid.

24. Etch A Sketch
Brilliant design, the best part of it being the swoosh sound when you shook it clear.

25. Game Boy
Mario brothers, Tetris, Frogger; Game Boys kept many a child quiet during a long car journey.

26. Lego
Lego is the king of creation and, while it hurt like hell to stand on a single piece, it was still the thing that kept us busy for hours.
