It has been reported that Sony will be making a Spider-Man spin off in 2017 with a female super-hero lead.

The announcement comes just days after the president of Marvel Studios Kevin Feige said that he wants to have a film with a female lead out sooner rather than later:

“I think it comes down to timing, which is what I've sort of always said, and it comes down to us being able to tell the right story.

“I very much believe that it's unfair to say, 'People don't want to see movies with female heroes,' then list five movies that were not very good, therefore, people didn't go to the movies because they weren't good movies, versus [because] they were female leads.

“And they don't mention Hunger Games, Frozen, Divergent. You can go back to Kill Bill or Aliens. These are all female-led movies. It can certainly be done.”

We couldn’t have said it better ourselves!

TOWIE star, Harry Derbridge, has opened up about his battle with an eating disorder.

The reality TV star appeared on This Morning where he spoke with Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes about his eating disorder, which lasted over a decade.

Harry said that his difficult relationship with food and eating began when he was only eight-years-old as he was a very fussy eater, but as he grew older, things took a serious turn: “I’ve always been a fussy eater but it turned into OCD. My poor mum would bring out the food and everything would have to be separate … Doctors said that if I continued losing weight they would have to send me into a clinic. For me that was the scariest point ever and that’s when I knew I had to change.”

Thankfully, Harry is now in a much happier and healthier place with his relationship with food: “My energy is ten times better, although I’ve also been diagnosed with an under-active thyroid so I’m always a bit tired. But I feel better in my self … I want to go round to schools and talk about it and turn my negative into a positive.”

Style Me Curvy is the essential blog for the many fashion lovers out there.

Not only has it been voted as “Best International Fashion Blog” by Cosmopolitan magazine UK, but it was also announced as this year’s "Most 'Aussome' Fashion Blog" by Aussie Haircare Australia.

The creator behind this chic blog is Louise O’Reilly. Louise works mainly as an international plus size model, and from her experience in the fashion industry she came up with the idea of Style Me Curvy. She said she wanted to create a space to promote “fashion, beauty and style for every kind of curve and body type”, which we here at SHEmazing! HQ just love.

SHEmazing! caught up with Louise, who let us in on her own fashion must-haves:

What item do you think every girl should have in her closet?
A great quality t-shirt bra for support and great shape to an outfit, a leather jacket as it goes with a multitude of items and of course the reliable little black dress 

What's the most expensive item of clothing you've bought? 
I try to invest in key pieces that I know I will get good mileage out of so usually that applies to handbags, shoes or a good coat. My most expensive piece was a Julian Mc Donald coat that was about €450 and lasted years! 

What's your best bargain?
A Zara handbag that was €90 which I found in the St. Stephens Day sales for €7 in immaculate condition!!:)  

What would you say is your favourite accessory?
It's a tie between a Murano Glass and amber necklace (sentimental value) or my open toe biker boots that work so well with most of the items in my wardrobe.

If you could only shop in one store for the rest of your life, which would it be?
Wow that's a VERY tough question. It would probably be Arnotts or River Island. I seem to an obsession with both stores this past year judging by my wardrobe.

Remember that episode of Friends where Monica got a race car bed by accident, and Chandler loved it? Well, we could kind of see where he was coming from if we’re honest. Sometimes we just want bed time to be a bit more fun, or stylish, or ‘other worldly’. Check out these cool beds we can only dream of owning!

A floating bed! Though we might spend all night worrying about falling

A bed, IN a wall. So cosy, no? 

What's cooler than sleeping in a campervan? Sleeping in a campervan IN YOUR ROOM. 

We know this is for kids, but we definitely wouldn't say no to this fairytale bed. 

Again, it may be for kids, but who are kidding – we would SO sleep in this!

Nothing beats a toasted cheese sandwich.

However, one of the disadvantages of having a grilled cheese sandwich, is that you have to eat it fresh. We all know what happens if your toasted sandwich has been sitting for more than a few minutes: it transforms from a melted cheesy dream into a cold lump.

Thankfully, a restaurant in San Francisco has come up with a solution to our grilled cheese woes. The Melt’s Smart Box!

The Melt’s amazing app enables you to pre-order your sandwich, and their Smart Box ensures it arrives to you as fresh as it came out of the toaster.

The Smart Box is an actual invention of NASA and VP of Operations, Greg Hernandez, explained how they came up with the idea: “What we realized is that if you maintained the temperature, and you had even airflow, and a way to get some of the moisture out of the product as it sat in the box, that it can hold a Melt for over 20 minutes and still meet temperature, moisture, and crispness guidelines.”

Sad thing about this genius invention, it’s only available Stateside, but fingers crossed it will arrive to our Irish shores soon.

Michelle Keegan posted a selfie on Saturday night which caused fans to be a bit concerned about her tiny frame. However, one person who wasn’t worried was her ex co-star Jack P Shepherd, who decided to poke a bit of fun at Ms. Keegan instead.  

Jack, who plays David Platt in Corrie, posted his own selfie in the gents with the caption: “Monday. Chillin out in da gents. @michkeegan”

Jack’s photo may not be as pretty, but he does raise an important issue – why do we love taking photos in the bathroom so much?!

Love isn’t easy, and despite the good times a relationships can bring, there are the inevitable heartbreaks too.

You broke their heart
At some point you will break someone’s heart. It’s never easy ending a relationship, and it can feel ten times worse if you’re the one doing the heart-breaking. Break-ups are hard, and hurting someone you care about is even harder.

The one that got away
There’s always one. Despite the years that pass, you can’t help but wonder what he’s doing now. Inevitable Facebook stalking and self-pitying tears will occur.

Wrong time
Wrong place, wrong time, wrong everything. Some things are just not meant to be, but it doesn’t stop them from hurting any less when they do occur. You still can’t help but wonder what could’ve been.

The one who broke your heart
Definitely the worst on the list. Usually this is the one that comes back to haunt you when you least expect it. You’ll never understand it, and you’ll cry yourself to sleep about it, even though you know he’s not worth it. Oh, heartbreak is definitely the worst.

When Galway man Jamie Kelly sat beside Katie Moreau, a Canadian girl, on a Ryanair flight from Barcelona to Dublin, he must have been very charming indeed.

Apparently the two passengers spent the whole flight chatting and totally hit it off. Jamie forgot one VERY important thing though – he never asked for Katie’s number, and he didn’t know her second name, and then they got separated at passport control! Disaster!

However, Jamie’s friends decided to help and launched the #loveatfirstflight campaign on Twitter. Jamie also got some help off Today FM, as he went on national radio in the hope of being reconnected with his disappearing Canadian girl. He told Ray D’Arcy:

“We talked from the plane into the terminal together and stayed talking until we reached the passport control. See, I was so engrossed during the flight and being the gentleman that I am I didn’t want to go to the toilet in front of this beautiful girl so I used the time I had at the passport control to nip to the loo.”

Jamie is one lucky man though, as his attempts to find Katie have not been in vein – the pair are to be reunited at the end of this week!

Some of Katie’s relatives in Canada caught wind of the campaign and told her about it. She is said to be very flattered that the "handsome Irishman" had been so eager to find her. She said:

“When I was on the plane I talked to him incessantly because I had just been travelling for two months in Italy and Spain and it was just so nice to be around English-speaking people, plus I’m a talker.

“We had lots in common, plus he was very easy on the eyes.”

Katie is due to return to Canada at the end of the week, but we doubt a mere plane journey will put Jamie off!

It has been reported that Selena Gomez was pulling out of a car park on Sunday when she crashed into another car, but thankfully no one was hurt. She exchanged insurance details with the other driver and police were not called.

The star has blamed paparazzi for the collision, saying that they were distracting her. She wrote on Twitter afterwards “Only I'd get into an accident because of men with cameras who have great careers and offer the couple a package at Burke Williams. Oh LA.”

This isn’t the first time paparazzi have been blamed for causing accidents – it’s times like these we’re glad we’re not famous!

A study conducted over the course of a day has found that a lot of people think that eating a gluten-free diet, even if you’re not a celiac, is healthier and can help you to lose weight.

Word to the wise: it’s not, and it doesn’t.

In fact, eating gluten-free foods when you don’t have to can actually be bad for your health, as a lot of gluten-free foods are not fortified with essential vitamins and minerals. People with celiac disease are advised by their doctors to balance their diet with a vitamin supplement.

A study by nutrition experts at the University of Florida has found that one third of 97 participants believed that eating gluten-free was healthier. Also, 60% of participants thought it could treat medical conditions, and 32% thought that doctors prescribed gluten-free eating for weight loss.

Just eat your sandwiches, guys. Get them into ye!
