11. Mel B & Eddie Murphy

--MONTAGE--  EDDIE MURPHY & MEL B

What do a former Spice Girl and a Hollywood actor have in common? Not much, judging by the way things ended between these two. Add a baby into the mix and this got nasty. Never mess with Scary Spice.

12. Alanis Morissette & Ryan Reynolds

The beautiful bachelor proposed to the musician after a two year relationship in 2002. Suffice to say, it ended in 2007.

13. Jack White And Renee Zellweger

The Bridget Jones star and the White Stripes singer were together from 2002 to 2004. Didn’t think he would have been Bridget’s type…

14. Justin Timberlake & Fergie

E2C130331E5D4CCBCBB799282342C6

The trousersnake himself, went out with the Black Eyed Peas singer in 1998, back before either of them hit the big time. Perhaps they inspired one another, musically?

15. Tyra Banks & Will Smith

These two could have taken on the world as an unstoppable force of brilliance. They were the IT couple of the early nineties, they were together from 1993-1994 and we wish they still were.  Sad face.

16. Ashton Kutcher & January Jones

Premiere of

Back in the day, 1998-2001 to be exact, a little known actress in the making and a former model turned actor, did the romantic rounds. Since then, she has moved on to dazzling heights with the success of Mad Men and he has been a toyboy and is now a father-to-be.

17. Courtney Love & Steve Coogan

Perhaps the oddest has been left until last. Courtney Love hooked up with the Alan Partridge star in 2005. What they had to talk about is anyone’s guess, but clearly neither look back on the relationship with rose tinted glasses, as Love claimed him to be an embarrassment. Awkward.

This is unbelievable, but yet so believable at the same time…

Kim Kardashian has admitted that she took 1200 selfies in one day.

Yes – one thousand two hundred selfies.

Kim made the admission to her mum, Kris, whilst on holiday in Thailand when she asked: “How many selfies are you gonna do in one day, you’re like obsessed?”

When Kim admitted the (crazy) amount, her mum simply replied: “This is remarkable.”

Yes, that’s certainly one word for it.

Why all of the selfies though? A selfie book for Kanye, duh.

Viva Adonis is written by two Dublin girls, Deirdre Foley and Sinéad Smith who admit to having a pretty unhealthy passion for beauty. Their blog is a mix of skincare tips, fake tan hacks, make-up reviews, beauty tips, fashion and lifestyle.

SHEmazing! caught up with the girls to get the low down on their beauty secrets and tips:

What is your best budget beauty buy? 
D: Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer is probably my most repurchased budget item. It’s an incredible concealer for the price so I always have a few – in my handbag and at home! It’s also one of the only concealers I can use both on blemishes and under the eyes – fantastic stuff.

S: Most definitely the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water. After years of forking out for high-end micellar solutions to take my slap off before cleansing, I’m so glad that a budget version is available. It doesn’t cost much more than a fiver and is often on offer in Boots so, I stock up!

What is your top make-up tip?
D: Don’t cake on the foundation. Use a light hand and then go in with concealer on the areas where you need it. It took me years to learn this one!

S: Put some time into your brows. Whether that means growing them out, filling them in or seeing a professional to get them looking their best, the brows frame the face and instantly make any make-up look you do look sharp and polished.

Most girls have much-loved lipstick – what’s yours?
D: Probably MAC Lady Danger. It’s a real power red and the orangey undertone gives it a retro feel, which I love as I enjoy looking back to the fifties and sixties for make-up inspiration.

S: Oh God, do I really have to choose?! Probably MAC Violetta – an incredibly vibrant true purple. I’ve been stopped numerous times while wearing this by people wanting to know the shade and it goes equally well with a basic daytime look as it does with a smokey eye. It’s probably the most striking lipstick in my collection.

What was your very first perfume and what are you currently wearing?
D: I think my first perfume that I bought myself was CK One – predictable but it’s still a scent I like! Right now I am loving Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess for day and Tom Ford Black Orchid for night.

S: I think my very first perfume was Burberry, the original one. Now I wear Estée Lauder Modern Muse during the day and something heavier like Tom Ford Violet Blonde for evenings.

You’re only allowed use three make-up products for the rest of your life – what are they?
D: Foundation, liquid eyeliner and red lipstick! So Laura Mercier Silk Creme, Stila Stay All Day Liquid Liner and MAC Lady Danger. Don’t ask me again or I’ll change my mind!

S: I always maintain that all I need is my eyebrows on, some mascara and a flash of colour on the lips and I’d be happy out. Right now, that would mean Anastasia Brow Duo in Medium Brown, Make Up For Ever Smoky Lash Mascara and something versatile like MAC Morange lipstick that can be worn as an in-your-face orange lip or blotted down to a lovely, light coral-orange stain.

Don’t forget to check out Viva Adonis and follow the girls on Facebook and Twitter.

Martha Stewart has spoken out about Blake Lively’s new website, Preserve.

And while it seems Blake may have a friend in Martha, we’re not so sure Martha’s latest comments reflect that!

The famous lifestyle and cooking guru said: “Let her try. I don’t mean that facetiously. I mean, it’s stupid, she could be an actress! Why would you want to be me if you could be an actress? I just did a movie yesterday, though – I can’t even tell you about it – but I want to be Blake Lively.”

Martha’s comments have confused us just as much as Blake’s website to be honest.

Cosmo has been around since the 1960s, so you’d think they would have published a lesbian sex guide aaages ago, wouldn’t you? Well, at least the waiting is over, as the magazine have published their first ever article on lesbian sex positions.

Their descriptions of each position are creative, to say the least. Take the ‘sexy spider’ for example:

“How to: Have your partner sit on a chair. Straddle her so you’re facing each other and start with a steamy makeout session. From here she can reach around and penetrate you with her fingers or you can grind your pubic bone against hers. Difficulty: <3 <3”

Or the ‘hot hair salon’:

“How to: Kneel behind your (also kneeling) partner and lightly tug on her hair while you reach around and finger her clitoris. Difficulty: <3 <3”

There are definitely plenty of kinky positions to choose from. Ladies, take your pick!

Today’s epic fail goes to Irish Rail (sorry)!

The company took to their Twitter account this morning to announce that the Drogheda-Bray train would be delayed due to an ill passenger…

Unfortunately for them, but fortunately for everyone else, “ill” was typed as “bill” and so the great sarcastic Irish humour quickly came into play, resulting in comedy gold.

People were very, very worried about the wellbeing of poor Bill, with many writing: “Is Bill ok?”

We do of course hope that the ill passenger on board was ok, too.

So you’ve got your ticket and you’ve got your tent for EP – now all you need is your outfit. Festival fashion can be tricky because you have to cater for all kinds of weather, which is hard to do while looking effortlessly chic at the same time. If you’re stuck for what to wear, then read on for our head to toe tips on rocking it at EP.

Head
You need a hat. End of. If it’s sunny it’ll save your skin from the sun, and if it’s raining it’ll save your hair from the frizz. What kind of a hat? Well, that’s up to you! We would recommend some kind of straw, cowgirl hat. Or if you’re a bit of a raver you could go for a funky peak cap. Wool hats are all well and good, but when it rains, they get soggy. And that is NOT nice.

Upper body
Layers, people! Layers! You need to be able to strip down easily when the sun comes out for those ten minutes, and then layer it back up when the rain comes. Try a string top, under a funky off the shoulder t-shirt, under a loose fitting cardigan or zip up hoody, under a raincoat. You get the drift.

Bottom Half
What you don’t want is a pair of jeans that are going to drag on the ground and get all wet. Go for skinny jeans if you don’t want to show any leg, or a pair of shorts. If you wear shorts, it’s not a bad idea to wear tights underneath for two reasons: 1) for the warmth 2) because fake tan runs in the rain.

Footwear
Wellies are a girl’s best friend at any Irish festival. By all means bring a pair of comfy plimsolls in your bag, but you’ll be in your wellies for most of the weekend. Even when it’s not raining the ground will probably still be mucky, and you don’t want to be worrying about things like that when you favourite act hits the stage!

Little extras
When deciding on what bag to bring, one thing is vital: make sure it has a zip. Losing your phone or money will put a real dampner on your weekend. You’re going to need something that’s you don’t need to hold onto all the time, so a bag pack or a satchel that goes across your chest. The more colourful, the better.

As for hair, plaits are the go-to style for festivals. But if you can’t do those fancy plaits you see on Pinterest, don’t worry. A cool, flower head band will create the same hippy chic look that the plaits do. And bring plenty of bobbins – you know how those things can go missing.

There’s nothing we like better than to while away a few hours by scouring our favourite online shops. But whenever we go to buy anything there’s always the niggling fear that it just won’t fit right. Well, Clothes Horse aims to put an end to our dilemma. They’ve invented a system that will help you find the perfect fit online.

You’ll be asked some basic details about your size, as well as some quick questions about clothes you already own and how they fit, and then they will use this information to determine what size you should get in a specific item.

They’re also planning on going one step further and giving you information on how the item will fit. CEO and cofounder David Whittemore said: “Now, if it’s a loose skirt, we’re going to say that. We discovered that that’s really what gives the shopper the confidence to move forward.”

We definitely like the sound of this – though it may not do our bank balance any favours!
