Whether you care about the FIFA World Cup or not, one thing is for sure the majority of us will be watching the star studded opening ceremony.

But it seemed uncertain yesterday on whether or not, the great J-Lo would still be performing in Brazil for the opening ceremony. Rumours began to spread that the star had pulled out, due to poor stage conditions.

But fear not J-Lo fans, as her rep. has now confirmed that the 44-year-old singer will be joining Pitbull and Claudia Leitte on Thursday.

The rep. revealed that Jennifer Lopez always wanted to perform at the World Cup Opening ceremony.

“We have been trying to work out scheduling and logistics. Any statements to the contrary were premature. Jennifer would not want to disappoint her fans or fans of (football). She will be there.”

This comes after statements were released by both FIFA and supposedly J-Lo’s own rep. that she wouldn’t be performing at the ceremony.

Either ways, we can’t wait to see what’s in store this Thursday!

It is India’s most famous landmark and has featured in so many films that it’s hard to keep track of.

Rihanna was also in a spot of bother after an apparent photo shoot compromised “the status and sanctity” of the iconic attraction.

Now it seems the Taj Mahal  is about to undergo a beauty treatment that is used by women all over the world – a mud bath – to remove the yellow discolouration caused by pollution.

Basically, the World Heritage Site will be covered in a 2mm layer of lime clay which will be left to dry on the wall. The special mud, which has already been made, will then be cleaned off using distilled water.

This is not the first time the Taj Mahal has been cleaned this way – the same beauty treatment was given in 1994, 2001 and 2008.

The gorgeous white marble building attracts thousands of visitors each year, so it is not surprising it needs a mud bath every now and then.

Laura really does get to meet a lot of famous stars thanks to her work, and it seems the latest one is the loveable Chezza herself.

The MTV presenter managed to capture a selfie with the gorgeous X Factor judge and even called her a sweetie in the description.

Laura captioned the shot: “What a sweetie!!! MTV asks @cherylcole on @mtvmusic June 30th (which is Chezza’s bday!) x”

So that’s another one to add to Laura’s ever-growing celeb list which includes the likes of Miley Cyrus, Niall Horan and even Rihanna!

Kris Jenner either had an online breakdown today, or her Instagram account was hacked, as her followers were left lost for words when some weird text messages were uploaded to her social media account.

A number of strange messages were posted via Kris’ Instagram account earlier this morning. The texts suggested that Kris secretly hated Kanye West and French Montana and only pretended to like them, so she could make money off her daughters’ romances. Ouch!

“So this happened today! Shout out to all of my followers. I don’t like Kanye West! I just pretend I do so my daughters can make a profit. I can’t stand Kanye and I hate Karim…that’s French Montana. He’s not even black. If I liked blacks so much I’d date one! Truth be told they are a way to come up. LOL.. Shout out to Pam from Martin Tachina Arnold you roasted him. Anywho the first to #ihatekanye will get a follow. Thanks dolls!!!”

The strange instagram posts were soon deleted after they were posted online and Kris has yet to release a statement about it.

But we doubt she really posted those messages, as Kris has always spoken so highly of Kanye and well, those messages don’t really seem like her style.

The film version of E.L. James’s best selling erotic novel Fifty Shades of Grey is well on the way, as the author decided to treat fans with a photo of one of the most coveted of props: the key to Christian Grey’s ‘Red Room of Pain’.

She didn’t give too much away, captioning the image with a simple “#nuffsaid”.

The film is at the editing stage and when Director Sam Taylor Johnson was asked if it turned out how she wanted, she replied: “Absolutely. Yeah. I’m excited.”

So are we!

We have some great news for Adam Levine fans out there, as it’s just been revealed that Adam could be coming to the Galway Film Fleadh this summer.

And he’s not the only big star to be arriving in the west on July 8th, as apparently Keira Knightley will be joining the Maroon 5 singer to promote their new film, Begin Again.

“We are looking into getting them, it’s impossible to definitely know at present but we hope they will be here.”

While organisers have yet to announce an official statement about the star guests, we reckon a lot of ladies might be heading to Galway this summer!

Angelina Jolie has spoken about the need to end sexual violence during conflict, in a speech for a conference in London.

The actress was joined by British politician, William Hague.

Angelina opened her powerful speech by declaring: “It is a myth that rape is an inevitable part of conflict … there is nothing inevitable about it. It is a weapon of war aimed at civilians. It is nothing to do with sex, everything to do with power … It is done to humiliate innocent people and often very young children.”

The four day summit is the biggest of its kind ever to be held, and it looks like Angelina got it off to a powerful and, hopefully, successful start.

Here are some things we all belived about love when we were naive teenagers, thank God we’ve grown up…

1. X’s are key to success

tumblr_inline_mrj77uHl4Q1qz4rgp

The amount of X’s he put at the end of a text measured how much he loved you. Fact.

2. Who is the other half of you?

If you didn’t have another half of Bebo, you were no one.

3. Showcase your love at every given chance

tumblr_mhgc3u19881rmf1geo1_250

PDA’s were a part of life back in your teen years. The more you shifted him in public, the more people knew he was YOURS!!

4. Pet names are an essential aspect of any relationship

tumblr_inline_muzuc8DpZ91qh9x31

“Hey baaaaabe” … “Snugglebunny” … can anyone say PUKE?! And also, “criiinge” on remembering that we too did this back in the day.

5. Being Cupid is your main talent in life and you should probably pursue it as a career

Pity it wasn’t a subject in the Leaving Cert you thought to yourself on the day of the repeats.

6. A minimum of fifty texts a day must be sent, or it is not true and viable love

tumblr_mhrdt4LjhY1s1j1jso1_500

Seriously, the amount of credit you went through is frightening.

7. Putting out does not make you easy, it makes you unbelievably cool

Once again, fuelling those cringey memories we have to live with.

8. They say personality is the most important thing, but looks are all that really matter

Sure, you got to shift the hottie from the hurling team, but then all he talked about for four whole weeks was…well, hurling! So not worth the street cred.

This week’s beauty blogger of the week is Megan Daly from Blondes Love Cupcakes. This awesome and funky blog is jammed packed full of useful and honest beauty reviews.

With her very own Esty store and Depop page, you can even buy items that Megan admits to not giving the love they deserve.

SHEmazing! caught up with Megan to find out her beauty secrets and tips.

What is your best budget beauty buy?
My best beauty buy is Cocowel Organic Coconut Oil. It costs about €5.50/€6 in Dunnes Stores for a giant tub that lasts forever. I use it for everything, hair masks, face cream, body scrubs, cuticle softener, body moisturiser, lip balm, after sun… the list is endless. It’s amazing!

What is your top make-up tip?
I think if you’re going to focus on one thing, it should be your eyebrows. Every look immediately looks more polished with a neat set of brows – they make such a difference to your face. I’d say invest in getting your brows shaped professionally and a good brow kit!

Most girls have much-loved lipstick – what’s yours?
I don’t know if I have one in particular… there are so many I love. I recently discovered Lime Crime lipsticks online and ordered one, and I want them all they’re so pretty. I have Babette, and it’s the perfect opaque neutral pink shade. I’m obsessed with it.

What was your very first perfume and what are you currently wearing?
The very first perfume I ever had was one of my mother’s, Obsession by Calvin Klein. Way too strong for a teenager, but I loved it. I actually still wear it during the winter! I currently wear Coco Chanel Mademoiselle, it’s so gorgeous and light but lasts for hours!

You’re only allowed use three make-up products for the rest of your life – what are they?
What a nightmare situation! I would take a dark brown eyeliner pencil so I could use it as a liner/eyeshadow/brow pencil, black mascara and a red lipstick like Mac’s Ruby Woo (which could double as a blush, maybe). They’re timeless and never go out of style, although I think I would get bored very quickly of the same look!!

When it comes to your skin, what you put in your body definitely shows on the outside.

Here are 10 foods that you need to have in your diet for gorgeous, flawless skin:

Cabbage
Not a favourite for many people, but this vegetable is great if you have acne prone skin. Its zinc content helps to get rid of breakouts.

Sweet potatoes
Loaded with vitamin C they help to produce collagen which smoothes out wrinkles and also reduces the appearance of fine lines.

Mushrooms
These are great for protecting your skin from the sun. They minimize the effects of UVA and UVB damage, although we highly recommend you eat these AND wear suncream.

Carrots
These tasty orange veggies are great for clearing up skin breakouts. They are also good for your sight too.

Spinach
Another one for plumping out the skin and reducing wrinkles. It is also good for helping to maintain DNA which reduces the likeliness of cancer.

Red peppers
These tasty veggies are full of vitamin C which is great for smoothing fine lines and wrinkles.

Tomatoes
They contain lycopene which, like the mushrooms, helps to protect the skin from free radicals by the sun which can cause premature ageing.

Dark chocolate
Any excuse for some chocolate to be honest. Dark chocolate works as an antioxidant that reduces rough and imperfect skin.

Tuna
The secret in tuna is selenium which helps to preserve elastin to keep your skin smooth and tight.

Blueberries
These are packed full of antioxidants to help improve blood flow to form new cells and collagen.
