Anchorman 2 must be doing very well in the cinemas because Will Ferrell a.k.a Ron Burgundy, turned up wearing a suit made of money!

The gaudy suit, made up of dollar bills created quite the stir at last night’s film premiere for The Spoils of Babylon in Los Angeles.

Only Will could get away with this. And maybe Lady Gaga too…

Will and his fellow Anchorman 2 cast mates, including Paul Rudd and Steve Carrell, were recently on Irish soil after holding their premiere in Dublin last month.

Well, it certainly is an impressive suit and you know what they say, if you’ve got it…flaunt it?

Sugar cravings are the bane of every diet attempt. With these healthy snacks, you can conquer your cravings once and for all.

Apples
Since apples are naturally sweet, they are a great substitute for junk food and sweets. You can easily carry them around with you. They will also make you feel full because of their fibre content.

Cinnamon
It doesn’t have to be Christmas for you to enjoy this spice. Eating this miracle worker can stop the blood sugar spikes that make you have sugar cravings.

Tomatoes
Not the sweetest thing in the world, but tomatoes actually help fight sugar cravings. Since they’re high in serotonin (the reason you have cravings at all), you can trick your brain into thinking your sugar cravings have been satisfied.

Katie Price is regularly seen with heavy foundation, exaggerated eyes and bold lips.

So, when she went shopping with her two kids Princess Tiaamii and Jett make-up free she was barely recognisable.

The reality star decided to give her face a day off as she went on an outing with her family. Looking at the pictures, the author is quite the beauty and is certainly able to pull off the au natural look.

The mum-of-three went bargain hunting as she hit the sales before heading to the Mayfair eatery with her children.

The former glamour model, who shares custody of her kids Junior and Princess with her ex hubby Peter Andre, looked very happy to be spending the day with her brood.

She even took to Twitter to express her joy at having the kids for the whole week: “Yaay I have the kids till next week.”

Not one to be overshadowed by her ex, the tweet went out the same day that Peter’s girlfriend Emily MacDonagh gave birth.

Stella McCartney has revealed her top tip for staying fashionable even in sportswear – dressing up and feeling confident in your workout clothes!

In an interview with the Telegraph, she said: “I find that a great kit encourages and inspires me to exercise. When you are wearing something stylish or cool you feel better when you are performing, and I have spoken to athletes who agree”.

Stella spoke about the importance of workout gear in her own life as she is involved in many sports, as well as having a young family, “I’m a bit of an all-rounder in terms of exercise. I run, horse-ride, do dance aerobics in my front room and practise yoga, though not as much as I should. I often cycle to work too, on top of running after four kids, which is probably my main form of exercise!”

Stella’s current Spring/Summer ’14 collection in collaboration with Adidas features vibrant, bright and stylish workout gear, guaranteed to get you moving.

Obviously our lack of motivation is down to boring sportswear and that can only mean one thing – it’s time to shop!

Who rocked the red carpet at last night’s People Choice Awards?

Well, we’ve picked our favourites!

First up, TV’s current sweetheart, Kaley Cuoco looked so feminine and demure in this gorgeous fairy-esque pink dress.

Justin Timberlake kept it simple in Tom Ford on the red carpet last night, but we like it; classy and sexy.

The absolutely stunning Kat Denning chose a floor length number by David Meister with great rose detailing.

Jennifer Hudson looked ethereal in a fitting white dress by Kaufmanfranco that showcased the figure she has worked hard for over the last two years. Her pink lipstick set the look off perfectly.

We’ve all heard the expression, “looking good is feeling good,” and believe it or not, this also applies to your home.

Here are five cheap ways to make your home look good and ‘feel good.’

Have a theme
Pretty much everyone has an era they’re obsessed with, so just because you weren’t around in Victorian times, it doesn’t mean you can’t live in it now. Dress up a hallway or guest room with accessories that reflect your favorite decade.

Change picture frames
When artwork begins to look a bit rusty, you know it’s time for a change.  Modernise wall hangings by getting bigger frames in darker woods.

Give it some color
Adding a few plants and flowers is  a simple way to add some life to your home.

Roll out a carpet
This quick addition can easily change the mood of a room. Think wool rugs for winter and sisal for summer!

Group your collectibles
Filling up an empty shelf with your treasures is always a good idea. Not only is it a reminder of your achievements, but it’s much better than having them scattered around the place.

We nearly lost our beloved Jennifer Lawrence after a fog machine malfunctioned on the set of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay in Atlanta.

According to sources: “filming came to an abrupt halt when this fog machine broke and began spewing so much dense smoke during a tunnel sequence that Jennifer literally disappeared from sight — and everybody panicked.”

Apparently, the 23-year-old and her co-stars were unable to find their way out of the smoke and were heard choking and coughing. The choking actually saved the day though as the noises of gagging and coughing helped set workers find the cast.

Thankfully, the assistant director had their priorities right and screamed: “shut off the smoke machines, get those big fans running… and get Jennifer out of there!”

Hollywood’s sweetheart was a little shook up after the ordeal and felt very nauseous.

Thankfully that’s all she suffered from; without Katniss who would save the city of Panem.

There are plenty of multi-purpose items lying around the house that we pay very little attention to and the humble hanger is one of them.

With this cute idea, you can organise your precious handbags and keep them away from damage and dust – every girls’ dream!

Stack up your precious bags around the hanger and this way, you’ll be able to easily reach them.

If you don’t have a spare coat hanger around the house, you can get a pack from your local homeware shop.

However, a more budget-friendly option would be to head down to a weekend market and nab one from a stall holder.

If you’re feeling a little rebellious, you can also hang long chains and necklaces around it too – jewellery is always a nice way to spice things up!

It turns out pop sensation Justin Bieber’s new film Believe wasn’t a hit with cinema goers. In money terms, the film earned a mere tenth of what his first film Never Say Never made in 2011.

Justin’s first flick grossed $73 million in North America, compared with his latest one, which cost $5 million to make and is expected to gross just $4.5 million in its first five days.

The disappointing figures come straight after the controversial heartthrob announced his retirement on Twitter.

Unfortunately for the Baby singer, the concert film didn’t even make it into the top 10 – apparently all the Beliebers in the world couldn’t move it from its poor 14th position.

However, we shouldn’t worry too much; in the five years since Justin was discovered on YouTube, he has enjoyed a mountain of success. The singer was the first artist to have seven songs from a debut record chart on the Billboard Hot 100 and he received the Artist of the Year Award at the 2010 and 2012 American Music Awards.

If he is able to retire at 19, we’re sure the movie’s flop will have as little impact on him as its release had on the world.

If this is true, all we can say is, “Oh.  My. God.”

Jennifer Saunders has got us all excited after she confirmed plans to write an Absolutely Fabulous movie.

When the English comedian was asked by Jonathan Ross about whether there was a film in the pipeline, the actress responded: “Yes, well I have to do it now because I’ve threatened to a lot.”

Saunders had a lot of pressure from fans and co-stars to write a script – Joanna Lumley was constantly announcing that she was going to do it.

However, the news may have more to do with the fact that Dawn French made a bet with her friend while they were hosting their radio show at Christmas.

Dawn bet the comedian £100,000 that she wouldn’t write it. So, rather than pay out, the three-times BAFTA winner says she will write it.

Poor Dawn – although we think it is money well spent.

Apparently, Colin Farrell feels pathetic for crying when he watched his latest flick Saving Mr. Banks. In our opinion, he has no reason to feel ashamed – it just makes us love him even more.

Colin spilled the beans when BBC’s Radio 1 host Nick Grimshaw admitted that he had cried when he saw the film The extremely handsome actor blamed his emotions on Emma Thompson’s acting, saying: “[She] just rips you from one side of the room to the other emotionally; there’s something particularly raw about what she does in this.”

The dad-of-two, who has worked alongside huge stars like Tom Cruise, Jeff Bridges and Angelina Jolie, confesses that he wished he could have worked with Emma on set.

Unfortunately, the Castleknock born star never got the chance as he doesn’t actually share a scene with the British actress.

“I wish I had worked with Emma man, I wish. We had dinner together and hung out a little bit, she’s wicked. So funny, clever and kind. An amazing woman; I adore her.”

We’re sure the 54-year-old would have loved to work alongside Colin. We know we would.
