Emilia Clarke looks absolutely amazing in her latest fashion spread for The Wall Street Journal.

The British actress who plays Daenerys Targaryen on HBO’s Game of Thrones was without the white-blonde locks we’re so used to seeing as she posed for a beautifully natural beach shoot.

The Mother of Dragons was wrapped in baby blue cashmere and snow white chiffon, looking a million miles away from the hot deserts she’s more used to on the show.

Those eyes are even more amazing with her natural hair colour – we’re so jealous!

Lady Gaga has opened up about her battle with depression and admits that she thought she was “dying”. Thankfully, the Poker Face singer has had a positive start to 2014 and insists that she is much better now.

Talking to Bazaar, she said: “I didn’t feel like standing up for myself one more time – to one more person who lied to me. January 1st, I woke up, started crying again, and I looked in the mirror and said, ‘I know you don’t want to fight. I know you think you can’t, but you’ve done this before. I know it hurts, but you won’t survive this depression’.”

The 27-year-old added: “I learned that my sadness never destroyed what was great about me. You just have to go back to that greatness, find that one little light that’s left. I’m lucky I found one little glimmer stored away.”

The Bad Romance singer had also suffered from an eating disorder but reveals that she now has a “better relationship with food.”

We’re glad Gaga is back to herself and applaud her for being so open.

Former X Factor contestant Eoghan Quigg is in the running to perform this year’s Irish contribution to the Eurovision contest.

One of five possible acts to take on the seemingly impossible task of winning the Eurovison for Ireland, Eoghan, who came third place in the 2008 X Factor at only 16 years of age,  will be performing The Movie Song written by Karl Broderick.

His album, self-titled Eoghan Quigg, was released in April 2009 and reached number one in Ireland.

Oh, and just so you know, here is what he looks like now:

We are so used to seeing our favourite actors and musicians done up to the nines and looking fabulous.

However, Kate Winslet and Scarlett Johansson have proved in this month’s 20th Hollywood issue of Vanity Fair that you don’t need make-up to look fabulous after all. Looking fresh and radiant the two women bare all for a spread in the magazine.

The photos were shot by renowned photographer Chuck Close and there were some strict rules involved for those involved. The stars, normally used to being looked after and managed had to arrive alone or with one close friend; there were no fancy foods available – just sandwiches and coffee; the stars had to be available for three hours and have no hair, make-up or styling whatsoever.

We wonder if any divas turned this opportunity down!

Close has admitted that his unorthodox and refreshing way of shooting his subjects can sometimes gain “rough” results due to lack of photoshop and airbrush.

Other portraits also included Brad Pitt and Oprah Winfrey.

Wow, this X Factor band is getting bigger and bigger!

Catching up with their male counterparts, One Direction, it would seem Little Mix are gaining more and more success in the notoriously difficult US music market.

After performing their current single Move on Good Morning America, their new album Salute shot to number one, knocking Super Bowl superstar Bruno Mars off the top of the US iTunes chart.

What an accomplishment, well done girls!

Diana was meant to be the movie of the year but sunk fast following its release last September.

Garnering only an 8% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, who praised Watts’ efforts “under a shoddy script and clumsy direction,” the movie gained criticism from movie reviews worldwide.

Naomi was also nominated for a Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Actress in Diana.

During an interview with JustJared, Naomi spoke about the movie and why it had appealed to her in the first place.

Describing the “pressure” of playing “the most famous woman of our time,” Naomi also said the script read well and appealed to her because it was “just a great love story” and one she had not heard about.
