Unless you’ve been hiding under the duvets all week, you’ll have heard of the new phenomenon that is shouting PARKLIFE! at Russell Brand.

As a spoof of Phil Daniel’s character in the video for Blur’s Parklife, Russell is now the butt-end of a LOT of jokes.

Here's Blur's original song:

Now, there’s a video and it is exactly what we’ve been waiting for.

All together now: PARKLIFE!

Everyone was impressed with Romeo Beckham’s stunning performance in Burberry’s Christmas advert – but some comments have caused public outcry.

Many adults on Twitter have been branding the 12-year-old 'hot' – much to the dismay of other users. 

Comments including: “Thinking Romeo Beckham is hot is not creepy right?” have been blasted by other users as completely inappropriate: “Why am I seeing grown women on my [timeline] saying how hot Romeo Beckham is. He’s still a child.”

Channel 4 star Stinson Hunter, known as The Paedophile Hunter, has slammed the comments, saying: “I’ve seen some shocking comments about that Beckham kid – grown women saying he’s ‘fit’ sort your heads out – he’s ten for God sakes.”

He also took to his Facebook account and wrote a lengthy piece about why it is so wrong to brand a child such terms: “I have been watching the comments and am honestly shocked by what I have read it seems that because this person [who made the comments] is a woman that it is perfectly acceptable to say a child is ‘hot’ or ‘sexy’ but when a man say’s it (and they have about children) he becomes villain number one.”

Many people using Tinder in Ireland may have come across a young female by the name of Natalia as they swipe.

However, when you click in to see some more of Natalia’s photos, a stark message appears reading: “Made Up To Work Here But Too Young To Be There – Girls as young as 14 years old are trafficked into Ireland for sexual exploitation.”

The campaign is being run by the Immigrant Council of Ireland and concludes: “Sex trafficking victims have no options. You have the option to help end it now. Visit www.turnofftheredlight.ie/action.”

Other dating profiles set up by agency eightytwety on behalf of the council show women by the names of Ana and Kim, who can be seen to be suffering from violence in their photos.

What a fantastic and striking campaign, we really hope it can help to put an end to the suffering of women and children being sex trafficked in Ireland.

Cheryl, Cheryl, Cheryl…

Or should we say Cheryl Fernandez-Versini?

The X Factor judge has been hitting the headlines for all of the wrong reasons this week – and today is no exception!

Cheryl has now hit out at people not using her full and correct title in a new interview with Marie Claire.

The singer, who looks stunning in the shoot, branded people who cannot get her full name right as “ignorant”: “People are so ignorant about it, they just start calling me Cheryl, but I’ll take that, whatever.”

Hmm, doesn’t sound like she’ll take it very graciously though – does it?!

Cheryl was born Cheryl Tweedy before taking on the married name of Cole, but chose to keep the ‘Cheryl Cole’ moniker following her divorce from footballer Ashley Cole in 2010.

However, following her marriage to Jean Bernard Fernandez-Versini during the summer, Cheryl chose to take on the name Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and has hit out at anyone still calling her by her old names. 

The pop star told Marie Claire that changing her name just seemed like the right thing to do: "It's come quite naturally, you know."

It was rumoured that Chris Martin and Jennifer Lawrence had decided to go their separate ways two weeks ago – but was it all just that, a rumour?

Now, it’s being reported that the couple will attend the premiere of Jennifer’s upcoming movie, Mockingjay together!

Although it has been said the couple won’t be walking the red carpet together, Chris will attend with Jen – so hopefully we can put all of this speculation to rest!

Apparently, Jen and Chris have been spending a LOT of time together over the past week.

People have reported that they are still very much into each other: “They’re very much together. He’s very much into her and they’re still seeing each other.”

We really wish these two would just go public with their relationship and end all of this on-off speculation!

Now that we have entered November, it's time to start focusing in on what beauty products we need for the upcoming party season. 

This year rather than focusing in on the lips, it's time for the eyes to shine and what better way to enhance them than with Max Factor’s new Excess Shimmer Eye Shadow.

The smart 3D silicone gel formula holds its high-impact metallic colour pigments for up to 12 hours so that you won’t have to worry about the colour fading.

The must-have gel shadows have an intense luminosity and smooth colour finish creating envious stares everywhere you go. The formula contains emollients that provide a silky smooth feel for easy application and blending and the high-impact colour pigments deliver sought after shine and intensity.

From muted mauves and cool bright blues to sepia shades and greys, there are endless glamour statements to play with and recreate using the Excess Shimmer Eye Shadows. The creamy gel is great for blending and creating depth; combine with the Excess Intensity Eyeliners for a really dramatic and defined look.

The new shimmer shadows are available in six different colours so you will no doubt find yourself mixing various shades together to create a whole new look.

For a daytime look, go for the more muted copper or bronze shade and crank things up a notch in the evening with the pink, crystal, pearl or onyx colours.

Made for women who want to achieve an on-trend metallic eye look without any hassle, these little tubs will become your go-to beauty essentials this winter.

Jennifer Lopez’s former husband Marc Anthony is getting married again – this month!

According to reports, the 46-year-old singer proposed to girlfriend Shannon De Lima all the way back in March and managed to keep it a complete secret from everyone.

We wonder if this included Jennifer…

The happy couple are set to walk down the aisle this month in the Dominican Republic.

Marc and the Venezuelan model began dating back in 2012, breaking up for a time in January 2013 before reconciling again.

Marc is father to Jennifer’s six-year-old twins Max and Emme and also to 20-year-old daughter Ariana with his ex-girlfriend Debbie Rosado.

Congrats to the happy couple on their happy news!

Oh God, our hearts! Our ovaries! Our everything!

The John Lewis Christmas ads are usually one of the highlights of the festive season and this is no exception.

It may be the best thing about Christmas 2014 – even better than the magical Burberry ad.

This year's song is a beautiful cover of John Lennon’s Real Love by Tom Odell.

We love Christmas!

When National Geographic photographer Aaron Huey posted an image of his son Hawkeye on his Instagram account, he had no idea what would happen.

The picture showed Hawkeye wearing goggles in a sandstorm, clutching his Fuji Instax 210 camera and looking into distance for something to take a picture of, resulting in many calls for Aaron to post his son’s work.

Rather than post on his own account, Aaron set up a brand new Instagram account for the four-year-old, where he now has more than 36,000 followers.

Aaron comes up with special assignments for his son, which included a visit to a squatters camp in southern California; a place where “circus kids, vagabonds, travelers of all kinds” live.

“It was great for Hawkeye to meet these people and see another way of living,” Huey said.

Instant photography is pricey, but Aaron says spending the money on real film for Hawkeye is important."It turns each photo into a genuine interaction, into a conversation. Everyone is smiling when Hawkeye walks away.”

Hmph, we guess our Mammy was too busy wailing about the cost of us leaving the immersion on to buy us a Polaroid camera then…

After a loud, furious fight over the space, the man hops back into his car to drive off – but then changes his mind and does something completely different.

Watch what happens above.

Kylie is now being sued by one of the drivers involved in the three-car pileup she caused back in August 2013.

The accident happened just 18 days after Kylie's 16th birthday when Kylie rear-ended a stopped Toyota with her Mercedes, which then rolled forward and collided with another car.

The woman driving the third car is now suing Kylie for back and neck injuries.

Things aren’t looking good for the youngest member of the Kardashian family, who has had numerous other mishaps during the past year. Kylie was involved in another crash while driving a Range Rover and even managed to find herself issued with tickets during just one day.

On top of this legal headache, she’s also going to have to deal with her mother’s wrath as Kris is also being sued over the accident. The plaintiff is claiming the car was registered under Kris' name and has listed the 59-year-old as a defendant.

Kylie, who is also infamous for posting pictures and videos while driving, really is in big trouble. Could the Jenner sister have her licence taken away? We really wouldn’t be surprised.
