It looks like the rivalry between these two American Idol judges won’t be ending any time soon after both Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj released the music videos to their new songs yesterday.

Being the diva that she is, the We Belong Together singer didn’t hold her tongue when it came to slamming the 31-year-old rapper.

On Power 105.1’s Breakfast Club radio show, the singer, who was promoting her new song You’re Mine (Eternal) pretended she never heard of Nicki Minaj – as if!

“I don’t even remember what that was. That was a moment in my life that I’m just going to press delete,” she said.

Neither Mariah nor Nicki have been invited back to the judging panel of American Idol, but that doesn’t mean the war ends here.

Don’t you just love a good celebrity feud?

Mollie King knows how to dress and is the proud owner of a very stylish wardrobe.

Always one to get the legs out, Mollie loves wearing shorts and we love these navy shorts paired with a navy blazer and striped shirt – office chic!

Patterned trousers are everywhere right now, and why wouldn’t they be – style and comfort at the same time? Yes please!

High waist trousers are flattering on every figure and these navy ones worn by Mollie go really well with her stripey top and tan belt and shoes. A tan bag would have completed the look a little better than her white choice however.

Airport style can be tricky because you need to comfortable as well as look good. Take a leaf out of Mollie’s book and go for comfy slacks paired with a cosy jumper and coat.

A lot of people think that the occasional smoke will have little effect on their body, but boy are they wrong….

New research found that smoking as little as 100 fags in a lifetime can increases a woman’s chance of getting breast cancer by 30%.

They also discovered that smoking a packet a day every day for 10 years will make a woman 60% more likely to develop the most common type of breast cancer- the oestrogen receptor-positive type.

“I think there is growing evidence that breast cancer is another health hazard associated with smoking,’ said the leader of the study.

They believe this could be because the substances in cigarettes act like oestrogen, which would promote the growth of the most common type of breast cancer.

With these alarming figures, we think it might be time to dump those packets in the bin.

Chris Pine has just been announced as the new face of one of the world’s best-selling men’s fragrances, Armani Code – we can’t say we’re surprised.

According to Giorgio Armani, Pine “perfectly embodies the brand’s spirit with his strong charisma and natural elegance. Besides revealing great talent, high versatility and the right amount of irony on set, his magnetic charm makes him the ideal match for this fragrance.”

Michelle Obama wore a beautiful Caroline Herrera gown to the state dinner honouring French president Francois Hollande last night.

The dress, complete with a black lace bodice, full blue gown and black velvet belt was designed by the Venezuelan designer and was sure to make Mrs. Obama the centre of attention at the event.

Hollande attended the event alone following the highly publicised break-down of his relationship with Valerie Trierweiler.

There is nothing worse than the winter vomiting bug – we’d take a head cold over it any day – but thankfully scientists may have found a way to ward it off and it’s pretty tasty.

According to new research, there is a particular ingredient in pizza that can help prevent you from catching the awful stomach virus.

Carvacrol found in oregano oil, which gives pizza its distinctive flavour, has now been found to be highly effective against the norovirus – yay!

Apparently there is a chemical in the herb that strips through the virus’ “tough outer protein coat” which then allows other agents in the body to destroy it.

Unfortunately, before you go stocking your freezer full of pizzas, scientists have said that “no amount of pizza consumption will protect anyone from norovirus”. They also added that if too much is consumed it will cause a burning and numbness of the tongue.

Looks like our best defence is still hand sanitizer, for now at least.

It was announced recently that Rachel Zoe moved  her fashion show from New York Fashion Week to an undisclosed later date in L.A. due to her commitment as a mother.

The stylist and designer explained to Women’s Wear Daily: “As a new mother, my newborn son is too young to travel with me and I’m unable to leave him for the amount of time required to appropriately prepare for the show in New York.”

So instead of taking her regular place front row at the NYFW shows, Rachel took to her comfortable bed to watch the shows on her laptop cradling her adorable newborn.

Rachel captioned the sweet image: “This is how @msjordanjohnson of @rachelzoestudio and I watch the Oscar de la Renta show when No wifi at the office #ODLRLIVE#RZFW #STUNNING.”

It’s official! A spin-off to How I Met Your Mother will be hitting a TV screen near you soon.

Indie film starlet, Greta Gerwig is set to star as Sally, a character described by producers as: “a female Peter Pan who has never grown up and has no idea where she’s going in life.”

The actress will also produce and co-write the show, which apparently will have a style more similar to HBO’s Girls than How I Met Your Mother. 

It is thought Sally will play a character similar to Ted Mosby, explaining to her kids how she met their father. However she will also be going through a divorce from a year long marriage at the time.

All we want to know is who is going to play the Barney character!

There’s a very fine line between heading out in lingerie that should be worn underneath clothing and wearing it to make a fashion statement – in this case, there’s a fine line between fierce and trashy.

Like any trend, the right tips and tricks can help make something work for you.

Tip 1: Mix up the fabrics
If you don’t want to look too bedroom-ready, try mixing up the fabrics. Mix silk with lace or ruffles to add a bit of class.

Tip 2: Make sure it fits
The last thing you want is to be busting out of your corset – never a good look for anyone.

Tip 3: Keep it simple
Add a cute pencil skirt or a small necklace to your outfit. This will make you will look tasteful and respectable at the same time.

So if you want to nail this look, keep our tips in mind and remember this image:
