Summer is coming, you have a choice: bare your legs or bare your midriff.

Many women hate the thought of getting their tummies out but these outfits allow for either a subtle glimpse if you are feeling self-conscious.

We love the patterned skirt and top combos worn by Katy and Beyoncé, the pencil skirt style suit the looks perfectly.

Kim K’s look is a little bit more understated and classic. It has just the right amount of skin exposure but is still demure as the length of the skirt is perfect. We love the lace!

Doutzen’s skirt is a little different and has a flare to it but the look is still very Parisian chic which we love.

Rihanna’s former accountant has accused her of squandering her cash on roomfuls of shoes, clothes and jewellery.

The Barbadian singer has been embroiled in a legal battle with accounting firm Berdon LLP for the past two years since accusing them of gross management of her funds.

Rihanna apparently insisted she had $11 million in cash at the beginning of 2009, but an estimated $9 million of this money was mishandled.

But now it seems, one of the firm’s accountants Peter Gounis is biting back by accusing the Rude Boy singer of over-the-top overspending.

Gounis reportedly told the court that the 26-year-old singer squandered her cash on spending sprees and extravagant parties.

If we were young, rich and beautiful, we can’t say we wouldn’t get carried away too.

Very cool.

If your eyes are the windows to your soul than it is vital you have a pretty good brow to frame them. Eyebrows help to define your face and show off your personality so it is important you get your plucking right.

Here are three celebs we think have the best brows – although we’re pretty sure they had a bit of help.

Beyonce
Beyonce’s oval eyebrows are sculptured yet still maintain their thickness. They perfectly frame her face and balance out her thick hair.

Cara Delevingne
You can’t talk about eyebrows without mentioning Cara’s. Her eyebrows are as big as her personality and have gone some way in helping to springboard her to fame.  Not everyone can pull off a heavy, bushy brow but this model does it with style.

Sarah Jessica Parker
SJP’s straight eyebrows perfectly compliment her face. The former Sex and The City star never has them too overdone and their flatness help to give the illusion of width.

The thought of posting a selfie with no war paint on is scary stuff.

But raising money for a really good cause might give you the extra courage you need.

The Irish Cancer Society has been flooded with donations in the past couple of days thanks to the ‘No makeup selfie’ trend.

Thousands of women around the country shared a selfie of themselves wearing no makeup on Facebook and Twitter to raise money for the worthy charity.

‘#nomakeupselfie’ is currently the number one Twitter trend in Ireland as hundreds of photos continue to be posted every hour.

And not to be outdone, even men got in on the craze by posting selfies of themselves with lots of slap on.

The charity says that more than €200,000 has been raised so far and counting, as the trend continues online.

Cancer charities in the UK revealed they have raised more than £4 million thanks to the campaign, with celebrities such as Kym Marsh joining in.

If you would like to make a donation to the Irish Cancer Society Text Pink or Daff to 50300 to donate €4.

Psychologists at the University of Bourgogne in Dijon, France have released a study that reveals how smelling fruit before making a food choice can help us stick to healthier choices.

The study was conducted in two groups, one sat in a room fragrant with pears while the other sat in an unscented room.

Following this the two groups were presented with a three-course dinner. The smell of the fruit only affected how the dessert choices were made rather than the starter of the main course.

It showed how the room that was exposed to the fruit smell were more likely to make a healthy choice.

While more than half of the group sat in the fragrant room chose the fruity dessert option, three out of four of the other group chose the unhealthier option of a chocolate brownie.

Hmm, maybe that apple at the bottom of your bag may come in handy after all.

Miley is never one to cover when it comes to selfies, but it seems the same can be said for her skin too.

The We Can’t Stop star showed a topless picture of her sunburnt skin after she spent some time on the beach in Florida

The singer may want to get a tan but is it worth getting so badly burnt over? We don’t think so.

It’s been two weeks since the Oscars but it seems that John Travolta is still not over his embarrassing name mix up at the award ceremony.

Travolta introduced the Frozen star, Idina Menzel as “Adele Dazeem” just as  she was about to perform the Frozen hit Let It Go.

Travolta decided to make up for the mispronunciation by sending a bouquet of flowers to Idina at the location of her new musical in New York.

Even though Idina has said to have laughed off the name mix up; it was still nice of John to send her the bouquet.

Before going on holidays, many ladies up their fitness levels and ditch the bad foods to get the beach body. Unfortunately, all their hard work goes out the window when they arrive at their destination; however, with a little bit of motivation you can maintain a healthy you.

Exercise each morning
True, the last thing you want to be doing on holidays is a bit of exercise, but there is no better way to start your day than a quick run or ten minute workout.

Explore on foot
Ditch the taxis and public transport and instead opt to explore the city on foot. Not only will it keep you trim and healthy you will also get to see a lot more of the area than you would behind a car.

Stay hydrated
Staying hydrated is the key to a healthy lifestyle and even more so when you are in a warm country and sweating a lot more than usual.

Stick with your fruit
Ditch the fry each morning and instead go for a bowl of fruit to start the day with.

Staying fit and healthy on holidays doesn’t mean you miss out or sacrifice fun, it just means you won’t come back with that bit of extra holiday weight.

Madonna has launched her new skin range MDNA, with a creepy video promotion.

The promo shows Madonna in a black and white video with eerie music playing in the background.

Madonna goes on to say in the video that: “Having good skin is important to me but so are other things.”

The singer describes how she has spent “hours, months and years” working on her new skin range.

Her MDNA skin range features a clay mask, skin rejuvinator and serum.

But unfortunately we will have to wait  to try out the skin range as MDNA is only available in Japan.
