Ever since Donald Trump announced his bid for U.S presidency, the internet has been having an absolute field day.

One Irish model has even weighed in on his campaign.

Roz Purcell, who worked for Trump’s agency in New York once upon a time has said that she is “not surprised” by his bid. She told RTE Ten:

“I don’t know whether he’s going to get it or not, but his campaign has definitely been very interesting to follow.”

In 2010, the Donald himself had picked Roz as the favourite to win the Miss Universe pageant, and he quickly signed her to his agency when she finished in seventh place.

At the time people also couldn’t help but notice her similarity to Donald’s wife Melania. Roz was quick to dismiss those notions, telling Irish Central: “No. C’mon, Melania is absolutely gorgeous. So I take it as a compliment. I think Donald Trump appreciates someone with a bit of character.”

Today the Tipperary native has much more interest in food. Her blog Natural Born Feeder has a huge following and has led her to head back to college to study nutritional therapy. She said it would be nice for her blog “to have a little bit more of a stamp of approval”.

She said that after her years modelling New York, she came to realise that “crash diets” didn’t cut it. She got sick of “trying to fit in a certain shape.”

We agree with Roz on the no crash dieting, we also agree with her about Donald’s “interesting” campaign.

Let’s have a look at some of his most interesting moments so far, shall we. 

His comment on the people of Mexico:

They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. 

His astute business observation on the state of American journalism:

When asked by ABC’s This Week  if he had any regrets:

I have said things that I could've held back. But not that often, surprisingly not that often, but certainly there have been occasions.

When he pointed to the racial tension which exists across the United States:

You look at Baltimore, you look at Cleveland. You look at all of those places, just exploding. We have an African-American president [and] we've never had it so bad.

His response to Democratic candidate Hilary Clinton’s disappointment with his immigration comments:

There's never been a Secretary of State so bad as Hillary. The world blew up around us. We lost everything, including all relationships. There wasn't one good thing that came out of that administration or her being Secretary of State.

Basically, any time he mentions Mexico he manages to stir up some controversy:

Four years later it has been revealed that Rebecca Black is now completely open to gettin’ down on all the other days of the week. She no longer saves her party energy exclusively for Fridays.

What a relief! We were starting to wonder if we should tell her she was missing out on some great mid-week banter.

Back in 2011 the then 13-year old became a viral Youtube sensation when she debuted her single Friday, which now has over 81 million views.

She stepped out for the premiere of her new music video Bad Night on Tuesday. The now 18-year old was sporting a decidedly more mature look than when we last saw her.

Wearing a black romper paired with a fabulous dark cat eye look we barely recognised her from the 2011 viral video.

In March Rebecca spoke with EW about how the down side of all of the attention she received as a result of the Friday video.

“It wasn’t really the kind of attention any 13-year-old girl wants,” she said, and added she had no idea the kind of notoriety she was going to achieve as a result.  “I made the song with no intention of it doing anything, and here it was doing something.”

However, since she started her very own Youtube channel, Rebecca is now able to do whatever she wants with her music as she now has complete creative control.

"That was a thing that I lacked with the people I was working with and had surrounded myself with. I realized that they didn’t care as much about what I wanted to do as much as what they wanted to see me do.”

It may not be Friday just yet, but while we wait in anticipation of Bad Night being released, why not indulge in the ultimate throwback and reminisce with Rebecca’s debut single.

The internet was left agog earlier this week when Taylor Swift got her claws out after a misunderstanding with fellow pop star Nicki Minaj… but now it looks like she has finally done the unthinkable and backed down. 

Taking to Twitter just a few minutes ago, Taylor offered up an apology to Nicki, saying, "I thought I was being called out. I missed the point, I misunderstood, then misspoke. I'm sorry, Nicki."

We never thought we'd see that happen, but Nicki was quick to graciously respond, saying, "Everyone makes mistakes."

The short-lived feud kicked off on Monday night when Nicki tweeted her disappointment about not getting a VMA Best Video nomination for her song Feeling Myself. "If I was a different "kind" of artist, Anaconda would be nominated for best choreo and vid of the year as well," she wrote. "If your video celebrates women with very slim bodies, you will be nominated for vid of the year."

Although the tweets were more of a comment about how racial bias still prevails in the music industry, Taylor took it as a personal slight on her own video for Bad Blood.

"I've done nothing but love & support you. It's unlike you to pit women against each other. Maybe one of the men took your slot.." she wrote at the time.

Since then, both Taylor's enemy Katy Perry AND her bestie Ed Sheeran have both weighed in on the messy Twitter war. With Katy accusing the Blank Space singer of "capitalizing on the takedown of a woman" and Ed defending her to the Daily Telegraph by saying she had done "nothing wrong," this feud has definitely brought about some very mixed opinions.

Now, to wait for Nicki's response to that grovelling apology…

Sean Maguire and his wife of two years Tanya have welcomed their first child thanks to their supportive Twitter followers.

The happy couple became parents to a baby boy Flynn Patrick on July 14. Flynn was born in Vancouver, Canada.

The L.A based couple have relocated in order for Sean to continue filming the series Once Upon a Time. He plays Robin Hood in the series which also boasts Irish actress Victoria Smurfit as a cast member.

She’s responsible for bringing the characters of Cruella De Ville. Victoria was quick to pass on her message of congratulations to the happy family on social media.

Speaking with E! News the pair said: "We are truly blessed to have such a healthy and beautiful baby boy." They also added that both mom and baby are doing great.

Sean was scheduled to make an appearance with his co-stars at San Diego’s Comic Con not too long ago but took to Twitter to explain his hasty departure.

Sean and Tanya originally married in California in 2012 but the couple had a second ceremony in Ireland in 2014 surrounded by more friends, family and a few celebrities.

Ant and Dec were just two of the famous faces spotted at the ceremony in Co. Kerry. The couple chose the Sneem Hotel for their reception and Chloe Agnew (Twink’s daughter) performed at the ceremony.

Lucky little Flynn is already set to be rubbing shoulders with the stars. Sean’s OUAT co-stars Ginniger Goodwin and Josh Dallas, who play Snow White and Prince Charming, of course, welcome their first child last May. Celebrity baby BFFS! So cute.

Congratulations to the new parents!

It's been almost three weeks since Kourtney Kardashian officially kicked Scott out of her house (and her life), and she's already getting lawyered up.

The reality star has reportedly taken on the services of celebrity divorce lawyer Laura Wasser, in an effort to ensure she gets everything she wants in the split. While the couple are not married, they were together for almost a decade, and have three young children together.

The top priority on Kourtney's list is having full custody of the kids, five-year-old Mason, three-year-old Penelope and seven-month-old Reign. Unsurprisingly, Kourtney is determined to protect her little ones from Scott's ongoing spiral of drink, drugs and partying, and so she is looking for "sole custody," a source tells Us Weekly.

Mum-of-three Kourtney met with Hollywood lawyer Laura earlier this week to iron out the details of her legal options, after first consulting with her at the start of July, just days before her split from Scott was confirmed.

And while sole custody might seem like an extreme demand, those close to Scott say he won't be contesting it. "Scott's friends don't think he'll challenge Kourtney," one insider tells the magazine. 

After trying to hide the events of the last few weeks from Mason and Penelope, Kourtney finally did her best to explain the situation to them this week. "Since Scott hasn’t been around, Kourtney finally had to have a talk with Mason and Penelope who have been asking a lot of questions," an insider told Hollywood Life.

“Kids are smart and they knew something was wrong and that their daddy was gone for way too long,” the source explained. “Kourtney sat them down and did her best to explain that their daddy wasn’t going to live with them anymore."

Sounds like the famous mum has a tough couple of months ahead.

If there were any fashionistas out there hoping to turn their expertly curated Instagram feeds into a professional venture, we are so sorry but someone already beat you to it.

Instagram has become a style hub in recent times so we were not surprised to hear that they need a Head of Fashion to manage it all. Seeing as we sometimes rely on the social media site for serious fashion inspiration from time to time, we were actually kind of relieved.

The dream role of millions worldwide was bestowed upon former Lucky magazine editor-in-chief Eva Chen. She has 395,000 followers, just FYI.

An Instagram spokesperson has explained why Eva was chosen for the position and how she’s a perfect fit with the app.

“Eva understands all sides of the fashion community — from the craft of couture to street style, style icons to aspiring models, and storied fashion houses to emerging designers.”

She will take on the head of fashion partnerships role. Meaning she will be using her social media savvy to work with fashion bloggers and brands to promote Instagram’s role in the fierce world of fashion.

Eva even has her own hashtag on Insta, so you know she’s a legit die hard user of the ‘gram. She’s known on the app for a little something called the #EvaChenPose.

Quite simple: rock some on trend footwear, cross your feet and lie yourself across the back of a taxi. Oh, and don’t forget to show off your favourite bag while you’re at it.

 

Something about the lighting en route to LAX made my legs look like they're made out of plastic. #BarbieLegs

Baking fans, we have good news for you… GBBO is set to return for a sixth series in just two weeks.

Mary, Paul, Sue and Mel will be back with a new cast of aspiring bakers from Wednesday August 5th on BBC One. We love the trailer, featuring Mary Berry as a Sound Of Music-era Julie Andrews:

No news on the contestants has been revealed yet, but they should be announced in the next week or two.

In the meantime, Paul Hollywood has been keeping fans updated with a few sneak peeks inside this year's tent in Welford Park, Berkshire:

 

Not long now

Exciting!

After moving over to BBC One last year, ratings for the series shot up to around 10.4 million per episode, from an average of 7.35 on its previous home, BBC Two. Some might say it was the channel change that made the difference, but last year's series made for pretty gripping viewing, as did the Comic Relief celebrity version earlier this year.

After all, we had #BinGate, where a disgraced Iain threw his Baked Alaska in the bin after someone took it out of the freezer too early…

And adorable Norman getting to grips with delicacies like meringues and…pesto

Plus, who can forget Dame Edna gracefully flinging butter into her bowl?

In fact, any moment involving Dame Edna was downright amazing:

Roll on series 6!

People love telling us how good exercising in the morning is for your health. They go on and on about how amazing they feel after pulling out all the stops and perfecting downward dog at the crack of dawn.

Speaking to Self magazine Jennifer Sherman, fitness instructor extraordinaire of NYC says: “Exercising early in the morning jump-starts your metabolism, keeping it elevated for hours and energizes you for the day.” 

Noted. But it’s still a struggle.  So, we rounded up the best ways to ensure you’re up and moving before your alarm even starts.

Plan your outfit

There’s so many options when it comes to gym gear these days. Planning your outfit the night before makes it less tempting to stay in bed and risk not letting the world see your brand new sporty style according to Jennifer

Sleep

No, we don’t mean actually having a lie in until mid-day. Instead try and head to bed earlier the night before so you’re well rested. Jennifer also says “move your alarm clock out of arm’s reach. This way you will actually have to get out of your warm bed to turn it off.”

Be gentle

Liz Arredondo of Be Shri Yoga reminds us that we can sleep in some very odd positions that make our muscles tight as well as sleepy. She says it’s important to try “deep breathing paired with gentle stretches before you start moving more actively.”

Make breakfast

Make your breakfast the night before. Something like overnight oats are easy and filling so you have one less thing to worry about when you wake up.

Find a workout buddy

Author of The 30 Second Body Adam Rosante says “when you know someone is counting on you, you’ll be far less likely to bail.”

Use it as a shopping tool

Adam also suggests using your workouts as a saving tool. “For each planned day, you’ll put a pre-determined amount of money into a ‘pot.’ Watching that pool grow as your body tones is pretty addictive.” Feeling great, looking great and enough cash for a new wardrobe? Sounds like a plan Adam!

Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini might appear to be the perfect husband on the outside, but it turns out he has a bit of a jealous streak.

Cheryl's husband seems to have been watching her every move via Instagram lately, and he couldn't help but post a snarky comment on one particular video. The clip, uploaded by Cheryl's fellow X Factor judge Nick Grimshaw, shows him helping her as she tries out a mini Segway hoverboard.

In the video, Nick keeps a nervous Cheryl steady by grabbing her round the waist and afterwards lifting her off the board.

While the video was definitely uploaded in good fun, restaurateur Jean-Bernard took the opportunity to remind Nick (and his 778,000 followers) that Cheryl was his… and no-one else's. "Jimmy the grym you very funny and strong after all those hours in the gym but remember her ass is mine," he wrote, with two crying face emojis and a pair of watchful eyes.

Not a great move, Jean-Bernard.

The comment has since been deleted, but not before Nick's fans spotted it. "Your comments on here earlier were pathetic. Did you delete them because you realised how stupid and unwanted they were too," commented one user. 

Jean-Bernard tried his best to paint the whole thing as a joke, commenting again later to say, "My ass is taken by God and my wife… Anyway it was fun everybody sleep well. But Jimmy sleep one eye open."

This is not the first time Cheryl's husband has made a public display of jealousy. Back in February, he was snapped looking sullen and refusing to let go of his wife's hand as she posed for a photo with a fan in London's Pancras Station.

Time to grow up, JB…
