21-year-old Skye McCole Bartusiak, who played Mel Gibson’s daughter in The Patriot, was found dead in her parent’s home on Saturday. The actress had been suffering from seizures and her family think that she had a seizure and choked while no one was there.

She was found by her boyfriend sitting up in bed in the garage apartment she lived in next to her parent’s house in Houston.

No foul play has been suspected.

Our thoughts go out to Skye’s family and friends at this heart breaking time.

Former Destiny’s Child member Farrah Franklin has been arrested for disorderly conduct in South Carolina.

The details as to what exactly she was doing are still unknown, though sources have said that alcohol was involved.

Hours before her arrest she had posted a photo of herself relaxing on the beach so we’re not sure what happened after the photo was taken to have things go so drastically wrong. She has been released on bail since so we hope she’s getting herself sorted out!

Farrah got the boot from Destiny’s Child in the year 2000 after failing to show up at several gigs and promotional events. She obviously hasn’t had the best of luck since as she was arrested back in 2011 for disorderly conduct aswell.

It can’t be easy seeing your former band mates leading successful careers after you messed up your own, but drinking so much that you end up being arrested is definitely not the way to make amends! Cringe!

Elle Macpherson is known as The Body and with her latest Instagram shot it is not surprising. At 50 years of age – yes 50, we couldn’t believe it either – the supermodel maintains a figure that ladies in their twenties covet.

Joey Tribbiani drooled over her and we often find ourselves drooling over her as well…

The secret to her amazing body is not really that much of a secret. In fact, she puts it down to a green superfood powder, The Super Elixir which – yes you guessed it – is her own product.

The powder is a blend of 45 key ingredients including pineapple, lemon and lime, spinach, carrots, and Chinese herbs to name a few.

Elle pops the powder in some almond milk – no full fat cows milk for her – and it apparently helps to increase energy, improve digestion and decrease weight.

it is a little pricey at £96 but if we end up looking like Elle, it’s definitely worth it!

Experts have warned about how the 5:2 diet may make you live longer, but it could also leave you more susceptible to infection.

The diet, which involves eating next to nothing for two days during the week is said to lower blood pressure, but scientists from the University of Bath have been testing on fruit flies over the last year, and they’ve found that the diet can lead to a 20% increase in infections.

The leader of the study Dr Nick Priest, a lecturer in biology and biochemistry said:

“We know that certain stresses such as starvation or exposure to pathogens can extend life and increase fertility, but we have found that ironically this has a trade-off in terms of immune function.

“Our findings are not all that surprising. We have known for decades that starved mice are more likely to succumb to serious infections.”

“But, there has been a lot more interest in the short term benefits than potential long-term costs.”

“There are clear health benefits to diets such as the 5:2 regime, but we need to bear in mind there are side effects.

“It shows that even the fountain of youth should come with a warning label.”

Abbey said, “I wanted to try something people wouldn’t immediately recognise as ‘me’. It was so much fun.”

We love it!

It’s really nice to see Glee star Lea Michele looking so happy – and we’re only just a tiny bit jealous!

Lea was making the most of her holiday in Positano, Italy, with her model boyfriend Matthew Paetz by her side.

The 27-year-old actress was snapped hugging and kissing her gorgeous beau while on board a boat called Crowne, before taking a dip in the sea.

Lea looked as if she was having such a blast, and could barely take her eyes off her man as they frolicked under the sun.

The couple have only been dating for the past few months, but are said to be getting more and more serious with every day. 

We're so happy for the star!

Adele is said to be undergoing ‘photo-healing therapy’ to cure her fear of being snapped by the paparazzi!

The Skyfall singer apparently has a phobia of being caught on camera, and she has been looking into ways to overcome it ahead of her massive music comeback.

The singer knows she will have paps following her every move when her album is released and wants to be better prepared.

A close pal of Adele is said to have gotten in touch with a photographer in the US known as 'the photo healer' for some Skype therapy sessions.

The star is said to be taking a series of one-hour sessions to help her overcome her fear.

The treatment is said to include manipulating her ''photosphere'', posing techniques to hide problem areas and maximise her assets, building her confidence and figuring out the best angles for pictures.

Good luck Adele – we want you back on that red carpet!

We have a new Miss Ireland – Cork student Jessica Hayes!

Jessica represented as Miss Buck Whaley’s – the Dublin nightclub – and was stunned to hear her name announced at the ceremony in the capital last night.

The 20-year-old Business Studies student said, “I am just so shocked. I am just so, so happy. I entered last year and thought I would not be as nervous this time but I was ten times worse.

“I hoped for the best and to get in the top eight was absolutely fantastic but when they announced I had won I just could not believe it.”

First runner up last night was Shannon Howe, 20, representing Dublin Central

This year broke new ground with the first Irish Traveller competing for the title – Miss Kilkenny Sarah Jane Dunne.

The winner was chosen by a nine-strong panel of judges including the 1984 and 2006 Miss Ireland winners Olivia Tracey and Sarah Morrissey, TV3 Xposé presenter Aisling O’Loughlin, Miss World representative Krishna Naidoo and Dublin Housewives star Roz Flanagan.

Presenters for the evening were Elaine Crowley, of TV3’s Midday show, and TV personality Ray Shah.

Last year’s Miss Ireland, Aoife Walsh, handed over the crown and said the new winner was guaranteed a year she would never forget.

“My life has changed so dramatically throughout my time as Miss Ireland. It has truly been a life-altering experience,” said Aoife.
