Not too unlike her sister Kim, Khloé knows how to create a stir on the internet!

The reality TV star posted a photo yesterday that has deeply shocked and upset many people, and has since been forced to delete the offending image from Instagram.

The photo, which is a meme, shows Khloé and her sisters, Kim and Kourteny, with a caption that reads: “The only KKK to ever let black men in.”

Khloé captioned the image "True", before facing the heat from her followers. 

Now, we all love a good laugh but it hasn’t surprised us that Khloé faced backlash for this as the KKK (Ku Klux Klan) caused so much devastation for African-Americans in the US since the mid-nineteenth century.

Thankfully, Khloé obviously saw just how offensive her post was, and removed it.

It was reported at the weekend that EastEnders actress Lorna Fitzgerald was dating someone with a rather X-rated past.

Her boyfriend of six months, Keo Reid, was revealed to have starred in more than 20 fetish movies.

Now, it appears that the 18-year-old has broken up with Keo and a source tells The Mirror: “Lorna’s such a sweet girl … He was her first serious boyfriend, so you can imagine she’s absolutely distraught. They’re both really upset. She rang him and told him they have to split, but it was very amicable.”

Reports claim that the situation caused poor Lorna quite a bit of stress, and she has found it hard to deal with.

How awful, we hope Lorna follows her heart on this one – it sounds like a very difficult situation for her!

Our beauty blogger of the week is the beautiful Sinéad Kavanagh. Sinéad currently works in education so she describes herself as a "budding make-up artist with a work problem". You can see why we like her, right?

A self-confessed make-up and fashion addict, Sinéad decided to devote time to her passion when a health scare made her reevaluate certain aspects of her life. Thankfully, Sinéad has made a full recovery and is brightening up our weeks with make-up tips, video tutorials and product reviews in a down to earth, honest manner which we know you will all appreciate!

Including The Beautiful Truth in your round-up of beauty news and reviews is highly recommended, ladies.

What is your best budget beauty buy?

Without a shadow of a doubt, it would have to be the Wet n Wild Mega last lipsticks. These lipsticks pack a serious punch of colour, as well as being long lasting on the lips. They have a semi matte formula, but they still feel creamy on the lips. My favourite colours would be Spotlight Red, Bare It All and Mauve Outta Here. At €2.99 each, these lipsticks should be in everyone's makeup bag.

What is your top make-up tip?

Keep your eyebrows natural. I see far too many people with eyebrows that look like they have been applied with shoe polish. Eyebrows are there to frame and accentuate your face, not take over your face like to competing caterpillars. The Anastasia brow Wiz, is a fantastic eyebrow pencil for giving a defined, but natural brow.

Most girls have a much-loved lipstick – what's yours?

This is a hard question because I have so many lipsticks that I adore. I think it would have to be a throw up between Mac Ruby Woo and Smashbox Legendary. Both are blue toned reds, with Ruby Woo being a matte lipstick and Legendary being a really moist long lasting red. I think a red lipstick just makes everything look so much better.

What was your very first perfume and what are you currently wearing?

As a teenager, I wore Exclamation non stop. It was an awful sweet perfume that was a right of passage for many teenagers of my era. Now I have refined my taste in perfume a little bit and I am currently wearing YSL In Love again.

You're only allowed to use three make-up products for the rest of your life… what are they?

Oh God, the horror of having only 3 makeup products for the rest of my life! If I had to pick, it would be the Physicians formula 2 in 1 lash boosting eyeliner and serum. I actually can’t be without this liner, it is fantastic for creating the perfect winged liner. Second would be Make Up For Ever smoky extravagant mascara for creating super volumised and long lashes and finally it would have to be one of the above red lipsticks.

Actress Carol Ann Susi, best known for her role as Mrs. Wolowitz on The Big Bang Theory, has died after a short battle with cancer. She was 62.

Howard Wolowitz's tactless mother was a much-loved character on the show, but viewers only ever heard her loud Brooklyn accent shouting from different ends of the house – though they were once treated to a sneak glimpse:

Big Bang Theory producers Chuck Lorre, Steve Molaro and Bill Prady released a touching statement about Carol's death and the work she had done on the show. "Unseen by viewers, the Mrs. Wolowitz character became a bit of a mystery throughout the show's eight seasons," read the message.

"What was not a mystery, however, was Carol Ann's immense talent and comedic timing, which were on display during each unforgettable appearance. In addition to her talent, Carol Ann was a constant source of joy and kindness to all. Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with her family during this time, and we will miss her greatly."

Some of the show's cast members also took to social media to express their sadness at Carol's passing:

As well as The Big Bang Theory, the actress appeared in a huge number of other shows during her 40-year career, including Grey’s Anatomy, Ugly Betty, That ’70s Show, Sabrina the Teenage Witch and Seinfeld.

Wow, Taylor is really rocking her eyebrow game these days!

The star got a bit of a makeover for the new cover of Wonderland magazine, and we must admit she looks absolutely stunning. Taylor graces the cover with slicked back hair, bronzed cheeks, and brows that even Cara Delevingne would be jealous of.

She also rocks some amazing Sixties and Nineties style, including a Twiggy-style minidress and a sexy black mesh top.

We like!

In an interview with the magazine, the Blank Space singer admitted she is embracing singlehood and has a newfound confidence in herself.

"I've been with myself for so long now, I like it. I’m not willing to give up that independence for anyone," she said. 

"Basically, there's the tiniest, tiniest, tiniest chance you might find someone you can have a real and long-lasting relationship with. In my teenage years, I was enamoured by the idea of romance because I thought it was going to be this ‘happily ever after’ situation."

Taylor also opened up about the pain of receiving negative attention online. "'If people don’t have anyone to talk to about [their problems], they go online and just say wicked, gross, cruel mean-spirited things about people," she said. "I wrote Shake It Off for my own situation, but also for the situation that everyone finds themselves in now. It’s not a celebrity issue, it’s a people issue."

Wise words!

No matter where you grew up, the vast majority of teenage relationships played out in much the same way. Whether you were the object of someone's affection, the loyal matchmaker or the enthusiastic wing woman, everyone in the crew had a role to play, but that didn't mean the relationship was built for the long haul.

Sometime we were lucky if they lasted a lunch-time.

The rumours
You heard rumblings that Darren from the year above was seriously impressed by your Billabong school bag and your Cheryl-inspired dye job. So what do you do? You loiter in the vicinity of his classroom, pretending not to notice him for anything up to a month. How do you even know his timetable? Because you’re slick like a fox, that’s how.
 

The texting
You’re not the only slick one in this whole operation though. Darren has cornered Ryan, who’s shuffled up to Anna, who tries and fails to be cool before excitedly passing on your digits. Two days of awkward, confusing texting follows. You think you're being mature and mysterious, he thinks you're being weird and maybe a little drunk.
 

The courting
In the majority of cases, teenage relationships started out with a few test drives, before a final decision was announced. These test drives, as we all know, came in the form of ‘shifting’ or ‘meeting’ sessions. This was where you and YOUR crew rocked up to the local green where him and HIS crew were waiting.
 

The kissing
After a few minutes of awkward chit-chat, the potential lovebirds would amble off for a bit of privacy behind the electricity generator, leaving Deano and Enda to beat each other up while Michelle, Sarah and Orla feigned disgust, but fancied them HARD.
 

The relationship
Once it had been decided that these sessions had gone well and you were officially ‘with’ each other, the next step was many, many awkward encounters in the classroom and lunch hall. Would it be better to just ignore each other? Probably. Let’s do that. Oh no, don't give your enthusiastic band of little matchmakers a second thought! They'll be fine! Jeez.

We nearly choked on our cornflakes this morning when we saw Kim K's latest photo shoot.

The diva bared all for the cover of Paper magazine's Winter 2014 edition. She can be seen oiled up with her back to the camera and her famous booty on show, while wearing black satin gloves… and not much else. Raunchy!

Paper shared the photos on their website, saying, "For our winter issue, we gave ourselves one assignment: Break The Internet. There is no other person that we can think of who is up to the task than one Kim Kardashian West." Yup, we reckon it's a pretty internet-breaking photo alright!

If you're not quite ready to have Kim's bare bum on show on your coffee table, don't worry – the star also posed for a second, less revealing, cover in which she balances a champagne glass on her derrière. Of course!

The pictures were taken by renowned photographer Jean-Paul Goude at a secret location in Paris two months ago, and Kim was quick to share them over on Instagram with the caption, "Paper Magazine new cover alert! – such a honor to work with the legendary Jean-Paul Goude!!!! Shot this in Paris. Can't wait for you to see the the whole issue."

Kanye took to his own Twitter account straight away to show off the steamy picture, with the suggestive hashtag #ALLDAY… so we're guessing he was happy with how things went!

Others weren't so quick to praise Kim though – Glee star Naya Rivera in particular had a few choice words, if this comment from her official Instagram account on Kim's post is anything to go by:

Catty!

Getting your hands on a copy of American Pie was a rite of passage for any teen back in 1999. Sex, sex and more sex. OK, we’ve heard enough, now gimme!

This classic teen movie was littered with some real gems; memorable scenes and classic one-liners. Was it revolutionary? Probably not. Did it teach us a thing or two? Definitely. Did it blow our tiny minds? Absolutely.

The Pie
So, first there was the actual pie. This lattice decorated apple dessert was a far cry from the charred excuses we rustled up in Home Ec class, so we couldn’t fully get on board with Jim ruining such a good culinary effort. Seriously Jim, use ours. We got a C-!
 

Double Clicking Your Mouse
We weren’t used to hearing girls in films talk about sex in such a full and frank way. When Natasha Lyonne incredulously asked Tara Reid whether she’d ever double clicked her mouse, we shifted uncomfortably and pretended we had no idea what she was talking about, but the scene initiated a whole host of mouse related chit-chat afterwards.
 

The Bible
All you’d find hidden in our school library was a mouldy egg mayonnaise sandwich left behind by a disgruntled 6th year, angry with the system and the man, but the students at Jim’s school had a veritable sex ENCYCLOPEDIA whenever they wanted it. Eh, how is that fair?
 

One Time At Band Camp
Still now, if you hesitantly begin a sentence with the words ‘One time’, you can be damn sure whoever’s there will chime in with a ditzy sounding ‘…at band camp!”  The grosser the end of the sentence, the better. You win this one, Alyson Hannigan.
 

MILF
We were introduced to the term MILF and never looked back. DILFs, BILFs, TILF’s, the list went on. If we could use it, we would. Not that we were doing ANY f’ing anyway. We just know we sounded PRETTY cool.
 

The World Wide Web
We’d be used to scenarios like this now, but back in the day we couldn’t actually believe that someone’s most mortifying moment could be captured on video and streamed live on the internet for all to see.  He’s going back to school after that? We’d have emigrated.
 

And if that wasn't enough, we were treated to not one, not two, but THREE sequels. Surely, they've taught us enough, we're done!

Eminem, who once courted controversy on a regular basis, appeared to have matured and calmed down in recent years, but latest developments are now suggesting otherwise.

Tender songs like Headlights which lament the rappers troubled relationship with his mother are a far cry from his latest offering which not only uses particularly offensive terms, but appears to condone violence against women.

While promoting his latest album, the forty-two-year-old father freestyled alongside members of his Slaughterhouse crew and rapped: “But I may fight for gay rights, especially if they dyke is more of a knockout than Janay Rice/ Play nice? Bitch I'll punch Lana Del Rey right in the face twice, like Ray Rice in broad daylight in the plain sight of the elevator surveillance/ ’Til her head is banging on the railing, then celebrate with the Ravens."

Eminem, real name Marshall Mathers, was no stranger to controversy in his early years as a rap artist, becoming embroiled in various celebrity feuds as a result of his offensive lyrics, but recent years have seen a change in the artist’s tracks and vocals.

If this latest performance, however, is anything to go by, it looks like the rapper we were introduced to in 1999 is officially back.

There's the childhood pal you've known since you could walk. The party animal who's made you stay out til 6am more times than you'd like to remember. And of course, the wise owl you go to for advice about anything and everything.

As we grow older, we solidify older friendships and form new ones too. No matter how unique your pals are, we bet they all fall into one of the key friend categories! 

Here are just a few of them… 

1. The Loyal BFF
She'll be there for you, no questions asked, when you call in tears at 2am. Of course she would – you'd do the exact same for her. No friendship collection is complete without at least one solid best friend!

2. The Mad Scone
A night out with this pal never ends when the pub closes. If there's an after party, she'll seek it out. If you don't see her for a few weeks you can guarantee she'll have a novel's worth of crazy stories to fill you in on.

3. The Socialite
You can't walk down the street without this friend stopping to talk to at least three people. She's a good one to know – and she gets you into all the good clubs/bars/house parties too.

4. The No-Holds-Barred Confidant
You'd tell her absolutely anything (and we mean anything) and you just know she won't flinch. This friend is a great one to approach for advice too – you know she'll be brutally honest.

5. The Mother Figure
She always worries that you're not eating enough or that you're getting too stressed at work. This pal is the one you go to when you just want a relaxed evening cuddled up by the TV. She'll mind you!

6. The Total Opposite
You're quiet, she's loud and proud. Or vice versa. We all need someone completely different to us in our lives – it takes us out of our comfort zone!

7. The Flake
When she finally does commit to a plan, she's the best craic ever, but by God is it hard to tie her down. You're so convinced she's going to cancel that you practically want to run and hug her when she does show up.

8. The Perfect One
Okay, you can't know every detail of someone's life, but this girl just seems to have it all. Great job, great man, great hair (the worst!) – but you can't be jealous because she also happens to be the kindest person ever. You probably have a secret love/hate relationship with this pal!

9. The Gossip
She'll always have the inside scoop on so-and-so's break-up/pregnancy/cheating scandal, but you can't help but worry what she might be saying behind your back too.

10. The Acquaintance
This "pal" is great fun and you have loads of friends in common, but you just never see each other. Any time you do make contact it always ends with  "let's totally grab a coffee soon" which you both know means "let's not make contact again for ages!"

Jennifer Lawrence is known for her candid comments during interviews and her devil may care attitude at red carpet events, but we wonder if her latest remarks may cause more of a stir than she anticipated.

While promoting The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1, the twenty-four-year old actress claimed in an off-the-cuff comment today that she suffered from ‘reverse body dysmorphia’.  Hmmm.

We understand that Jennifer means that she often looks better in her head than in real life (what girl hasn’t been there?!), but unfortunately, a celebrity of her stature needs to remember that psychological issues like body dysmorphia need a little more sensitivity than her remark allowed.

During the interview with Good Morning Britain, Chris Martin’s ex said: “I have such, just like an idea of myself where I’m just like a Victoria Secret model all the time and when I see the truth I’m just like ‘what’? You should see what I look like in my mind. I have reverse body dysmorphia.”

We get where J-Law is coming from and the remarks were met by laughter from her interviewer Richard Arnold, but maybe the lovely Jennifer should leave those kind of references aside in the future.

What do you think?

There is no doubt that Robin Williams’ death back in August left an enormous void in the world of acting and comedy. His tragic suicide left many wondering what could possibly have happened the much-loved actor that would lead him to take his own life. Recent reports have established that neither illegal drugs nor alcohol were found in the sixty-three-year-old’s system, which while comforting also raised many further questions.

It seems, however, that some of these questions were answered today with court documents stating that Robin, who suffered from Parkinson’s disease, was also battling Lewy body dementia.

Those suffering from this form of dementia commonly experience severe hallucinations and both Robin’s doctors and family have agreed that the condition was a key factor in his suicide. The delusions may appear in the form of animals, objects or people from the past and sufferers can struggle to identify friends and family.

Tragically, many people battling Parkinson’s disease also struggle with Lewy body dementia and unfortunately suffer negative side effects from the Parkinson’s medication. Robin’s wife Susan Schneider has revealed that her husband complained about the medication in the days leading up to his death.

We're so sad to hear that Robin had to deal with so much ill health before his untimely death.
