Almost all dog owners will be familiar with the struggle that is getting your four-legged pal through a trip to the vet’s office with ease.

Even if your canine companion takes it all in their stride, you’re bound to have seen another unfortunate soul who just can’t convince their pup that it’s really not a big deal.

Social media users have long been documenting their pets hilarious, and sometimes emotional, reactions to being forced into a routine doctor’s visit. Here’s just a few of the best, but there are many more to be found we are most certain. 

"NOOOOOO!"

They will use their charm to try and get as from you as possible:

This guy is just going for the cold shoulder technique:

Or they just let their heartache show:

Going from happiness to despair in 5 seconds:

They turn to older and wiser friends for support:

Sometimes it takes a while for the realisation to dawn on them, but it does:

editorial_headerAround for years, but still as fashionable as ever; we love braids! Whether it’s a classy fishtail version or festival boho style, the possibilities are endless.

And they work great with long and short haired alike – being quickly and easily created by using the right products.

Check out our Get The Look video below and follow our simple steps for creating the ultimate summer braid.

  1. Start by using silicone free TRESemmé Perfectly (un)Done Shampoo and Conditioner. This cleanses and moisturises the hair without weighing it down, making it perfect prep for styling.
  1. Roughly part three sections of hair and braid from the hairline to just above the nape of the neck.
  1. Secure the braids at the end with clear elastics and bobby pins. Repeat the process on the remaining sections of the hair.
  1. Take the remaining hair and begin to braid, securing at the end with clear elastics.
  1. Finish with TRESemmé Extra Hold Hair Spray to achieve maximum hold with extra flyaway control. It is humidity resistant leaving no stiffness or stickiness, but with flexible hold.
  1. Finally, tease out the braids to give them more of a loose-laidback look. And hey presto! you are now all set for whatever activities you have planned this summer.

Have you ever had that horrible moment when you bring your latest fashion purchase home and realise it looks completely different than it did in the shop?

You’re not alone, it happens to people everywhere, every single say. Needless to say, it can get frustrating.

In attempts to remove this annoyance from the lives of any and all shoppers, Buzzfeed went to 20 different dressing rooms to find out why we feel like shadow monsters in some, and fashionistas in others.

Kristin was able to divide the dressing rooms into various categories after her adventures.

  1. These had terribly harsh overhead lighting which she reported was not flattering
  2. Similar to a public bathroom, the overhead lighting wasn’t dedicated to a single stall, meaning everything gets a bit washed out
  3. Lights everywhere! Overhead lights combined with front lights were found to be unnecessary.
  4. The dressing rooms that allow for even the most pale to embrace their bronzed goddess.
  5. The ones that let you know exactly where all of your body parts belong, in case you forgot.
  6. The magic dressing rooms full of flattery.

After visiting 20 different dressing rooms and realising in almost each one she appeared entirely different despite wearing the same outfit, Kristin shared her findings:

“There is no such thing as “normal” lighting. But if you change your environment and you still like what you look like, then congratulations: You have won at shopping.”

She continued; harsh overhead lights are not flattering for anyone and those weird bumps and lumps are in your imagination, magnified by the lighting. Dressing rooms with vertical lights on either side of the mirror are amazing, just be careful you don’t get caught up in the excitement and blow your entire budget in one go.

Still not certain you want to proceed with your purchase? Apparently the wisest option is to try and step outside of the dressing room and take picture, or ask for someone else’s opinion. Just make sure your shopping buddy is someone you have style trust in.

It's been almost a month since Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garmer split up, and Ben has wasted no time in moving on, with the former couple's nanny, no less.

Christine Ouzounian was reportedly hired during Ben and Jen's ten-month trial separation period to look after their children, Violet, 9, Seraphina, 6, and Samuel, 3.

During that period, an attraction apparently developed between Christine and Oscar-winning actor Ben, and although his reps have dismissed the claims as garbage, Christine's story is a very different one.

"She says Ben really, really likes her,” a friend of the nanny told Us Weekly. "She’s saying this is true love."

But just who is the woman who stole Ben's heart? Here's what we know so far…

1. She’s 14 years younger than Ben, and 15 years younger than Jen. Stinger…
28-year-old Christine grew up in California and graduated from Santa Monica High School back in 2005. She went to college in Arizona where she studied communications, and also spent some time studying in Italy. Like Jennifer, Christine was a sorority girl – she was in the Delta Gamma chapter at ASU, while Jennifer was a Pi Beta Phi member at Denison University.

 

2. The Affleck-Garners were not her first celebrity employees
Prior to working for Ben and Jennifer, Christine was employed by How I Met Your Mother star Neil Patrick Harris and his husband David Burtka to care for their toddler twins Gideon Scott and Harper Grace in New York. According to her now-deleted LinkedIn profile, Christine's role involved representing "the family well in the public eye and press," and being "extremely discreet and flexible."

 

3. Her twin sister helped hook her up with celebrity jobs
Christine’s twin Caty has had a number of high-profile PA and nannying roles too, and also worked with Neil Patrick Harris as well as Mel B. The pair were both employed by a high-end Beverly Hills nanny agency which is where Christine got the Ben/Jen job.

 

4. She previously lived in the Bahamas and that’s also where Jennifer fired her
After their divorce announcement, Ben and Jennifer headed to the Bahamas with their kids (and Christine, we assume) for some downtime away from the press. However after discovering there was something going on with her ex-husband and the nanny, Christine was let go. She wasn’t left stranded though, as she no doubt had some old friends living nearby. The 28-year-old spent two years living and working in the Bahamas as a teacher at the Head Start Academy.

 

5. She wasn’t surprised when the media discovered her relationship with Ben…
…In fact she may have been the one who tipped the papps off. According to ET Online, Chris has a good relationship with celeb photographers having worked in the public eye for years. It’s thought she may have been the one who ensured she was snapped by photographers bringing a bottle of champagne into Ben’s rental house in LA.

​Over the last few months, the rumour-mill has gone into overdrive – and it’s not difficult to see why.

For Kylie Jenner has definitely been flaunting her new curves, with her boobs and bum regularly being accentuated by tight clothing.

She’s also been increasingly comfortable posting revealing videos and photographs to Snapchat and Instagram.

And while her body-confidence should certainly be applauded, her age – she’s still just 17 – has nevertheless been an issue of concern.

After all, she admitted earlier this year that she had opted for lip enhancement treatments, and many online observers further speculated that she had surgical procedures on her breasts and bottom.

Now – finally! – the reality TV star has addressed the gossip, revealing the secret behind her body shape… and it seems it has nothing to do with a surgeon’s knife.

Taking to Instagram, the teenager explained: “I love sharing my beauty secrets with you guys and this is a favorite! 

“@PureLeef offers products with All Natural ingredients (which is important to me) to help maintain & accentuate your curves!”

Ms Jenner went on to state that the brand’s butt enhancement cream and breast plumping lotion “stimulate fat cells in the target areas”.

She continued: “I started seeing results after only a month of consistent use. Love their products,” concluding with the hashtag, #curvesonfleek.

Posted last night, the image has already garnered close to a million likes.

However, not all her followers were convinced. And many others reckoned that at 17, she should embrace a more natural look.

“What kind of 17 year old feels the need to enhance their body though… This is when our bodies are at their best, why change that?” asked one. Another echoed that sentiment with: “Why people just be confident with their natural body?”

And a further user stated: “I find this disturbing seeing she is so young. Be a natural beauty.”

Someone else reckoned that Kylie has changed recently: “She seems so conceited lately with less humility than the older girls. It's sorta sad she'll just end up like all her sisters. She won't live her life and will 99% regret this.”

Ms Jenner did, however, also address the marriage rumours that emerged this week when she was seen wearing a sparkling gold band on her ring finger. 

It has been previously suggested that Kylie will wed her boyfriend of a year, Tyga, 25, when she turns 18 next month.

“Not planning on getting married anytime soon :)” she said simply on Twitter.

Back in 2000, her sister Kim Kardashian, now 34, eloped with music producer Damon Thomas. She was 19 at the time.

Mr Thomas filed for divorce in 2003, and Kim went on to marry twice more: to basketball star Kris Humphries in 2011, and to current husband rapper Kanye West last year.

You can’t deny that the TV series Friends was kind of a big deal back in the day. In the early 2000s the cast of the show decided to make the most of their success.

They group famously negotiated their way to be on the receiving end of $1 million per episode. Today that would be just under €1 million, in case you were wondering.

Series creator Marta Kauffman was recently discussing her latest Netflix venture Grace and Frankie when she told reporters that the size of the pay cheques the cast were getting were “kinda ridiculous”.

When asked about the difference between running her current show and her previous sitcom, she pointed out that the kind of money the Friends cast could negotiate was more than any other series at the time.

“A million dollars an episode is kinda ridiculous. Let’s be honest, that’s a lot of money.,” she told the Television Critics Association.

She said that on her current TV series it would be “unrealistic” for that kind of cash to be spent for every episode they produce. Marta explained “that was a case where the cast knew how valuable the show was to the network in terms of the advertisers."

When Friends first began in 1994, the six cast members were each paid a more modest €20,000 per episode. As the series began to grow more and more popular until it became something of a pop culture phenomenon, the cast started demanding they be paid more.

By the time the last series of episodes were on the air in 2003 they were each receiving €1 million each per episode.

While the series still remains fiercely popular, it doesn’t look like the die-hard fans will be getting their much longed for reunion. Earlier this year Matt LeBlanc told the Huffington Post that “he didn’t see it happening.”

We’ll be waiting, if it ever does happen..

Twitter has gone into meltdown this morning with the news that One Direction have finally released their first post-Zayn single. The band dropped the single at 6.30am, posting a Spotify and iTunes link to the new song, called Drag Me Down (no surprises who inspired that name).

As well as a post via the band's official Twitter, the lads themselves have also been promoting the new release all morning.

The single reached number one in the US iTunes chart just 42 minutes after Liam first posted the link, breaking Taylor Swift's previous record of 47 minutes for her hit We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together. Quite the feat!

Listen to the song here:

Niall had teased news of a new music last week when he posted an image of a sound engineer sitting in front of a computer with the caption, "Final touches."

 

Final touches ………

As for Zayn, earlier this week he revealed he had signed a solo deal with RCA records, telling fans he was ready to make "real music" and show fans his true self. Talk about a serious diss!

While his sisters have been providing everyone with plenty of updates on their daily lives, Rob Kardashian has become something of a rarity on social media.

In recent months he hasn’t made many appearances himself, despite his famous family giving him regular mentions.

Yesterday however, the 28-year old brother of Kim, Kourtney and Khloe made a return to social media with none other than a topless photo of himself. While he had developed a trend in the last number of weeks of posting and then immediately deleting his photos, it looks like this is one that’s here to stay.

Showing off his shirtless body on the beach is certainly one way to cause a stir on the internet these days.

While people were surely going to be curious if he decided to make his social media return in none other than a bare chested selfie, it is not quite an up-to-date shot.

Replacing a cute picture of niece Penelope Disick, 3, with one of himself in Malibu, California eating a pulled pork sandwich, Rob was obviously reminiscing about some happy memories. We can’t blame him, who doesn’t love a pulled pork sandwich? At the beach no less!

Meanwhile a source for Hollywood Life is claiming that one of his sisters is very unhappy with his current reclusive lifestyle.

“Kim in particular is furious with Khloe for enabling Rob and feels she’s contributing to the problem.”

Rob’s personal issues have been well documented over the last year or so and just recently Khloe came out in support of her brother in her latest Complex magazine interview.

“He's going through a hard time now, and it's behind gates. With this crazy lifestyle you have to think of places where you can still have your freedom,” Khloé said in support of her brother.

Katy Perry V. The Nuns… the ultimate showdown continues.

Last month it was reported that pop star Katy Perry was in a legal battle over a coveted piece of Los Angeles real estate. Katy attempted to purchase the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary convent in L.A.’s Los Feliz neighbourhood for a cool $15 million (€13.7m), but two elderly nuns have contested the sale.

The Dark Horse singer made the purchase deal with Archbishop Jose Gomez, but two of the convent's five nuns, Sister Rita Callanan and Sister Catherine Rose, had already agreed a sale with another party.

And they say they had every right to do so, as the convent is theirs to sell. Quite the pickle.

Katy even visited with the nuns themselves to try and convince them, but it seems she's simply not a savoury enough character for them. "Well, I found Katy Perry and I found her videos and…if it's all right to say, I wasn't happy with any of it," Sister Rita told the LA Times last month.

Yesterday, a judge ruled that sale of the property to any buyer be put on hold while he comes to a decision about what would be the best way to proceed. In the meantime though, Katy MAY be able to rent the convent, if the other potential buyer, restaurateur Dana Hollister, doesn't get there first.

"We’ll have a battle of potential leases,” Judge James Chalfant told a court in LA yesterday, setting a new hearing for September, at which time Katy and Dana can battle it out for rent of the coveted property.

Let the games begin…

It goes without saying that any of the main presenters of the Six One news on RTÉ tend to be watched with something of a close eye. This is never truer than when somebody decides to make a unique fashion choice.

Exhibit A:

It can sometimes seem as if the entire nation comes to a standstill if one our most famous faces is spotted making what would appear to be a scandalous sartorial choice. For example, last night’s evening news was causing a bit of a stir for exactly that reason.

Sharon Ní Bheoláin appeared dressed wearing on outfit so shocking we were surprised the national wasn’t moved into an official state of crisis.

The issue: she wore jeans.

No, we’re deadly serious. Some viewers were really not alright with her wardrobe last night.

Though this wouldn’t be the first time she’s come under the gaze of the Irish fashion police. This has been going on for years now. 

Well, we honestly didn’t think that denim still wielded so much power but it would seem that your go-to for casual evenings can be enough to shock the Irish people on a Thursday evening.

Thankfully, many more Twitter users came to the conclusion that Sharon can pretty much wear whatever she likes while presenting us with the evening’s headlines.

There'll be celebrations in Kerry this weekend, with the news that Munster native Timothy V Murphy has welcomed his first child.

The 55-year-old, who has starred in True Detective, Sons of Anarchy, Criminal Minds and of course Glenroe, revealed the happy news via People magazine earlier this morning. Timothy's new arrival was born last week in Los Angeles but he and his partner, 32-year-old model Caitlin Manley, waited a few days before confirming it with the media.

"Caitlin and I are delighted to announce the arrival of our son, Sean Fionn Murphy, into the world on July 22, weighing in at 7½ pounds," the couple announced. Timothy also took to Instagram over the last few hours to share some stunning pictures of the little man and his parents.

We adore this one, captioned, "When Irish eyes are smiling":

And how gorgeous is this mum-and-son snap?

News of Sean's arrival comes just weeks after Timothy confirmed the happy pregnancy news on RTÉ Radio 1. "I have a steady woman now, which is good, and we're having a child in a couple of weeks," he told host Brendan O'Connor. "I'm a bit of a late starter alright, but sure better late than never though."

Is Timothy worried about becoming a dad late in life? Not really, it would seem. "I've got a young woman so she can do all the running around – she's 32," he said of Caitlin. "She's Boston Irish, so they're quite similar to us and she's got a good sense of humour."

We hope so with a comment like that!

Just yesterday funny-woman Jenny McCarty shared a sweet childhood photo of her and her cousin on Instagram.

The 42-year old captioned the image “me, my sis and my cousin Melissa 102 degrees at the zoo, not happy campers. #tbt.”

While Jenny has three sister, we were very interested to find out that this cousin was none other than Bridesmaids star Melissa McCarthy. The 44-year old actress and her cousin are now both successful Hollywood stars, but it doesn’t look like they were strutting any red carpets as kids.

In the past the relationship between the pair has been thought to be somewhat tense.

 

A photo posted by Jenny McCarthy (@jennyannmccarthy) on

Last year Jenny was denying any rumours that she had made fun of her cousin’s size in an interview with People magazine. She said that “nothing could be further from the truth”.

Formerly a host on TV series The View, she went on to say: “There is a crazy story going around that I once told my cousin, Melissa, that she would have to lose weight in order to get into show business.”

She explained that was untrue and in fact she actually helped Melissa get her first job in show business so she could “learn the ropes”. She also praised all of Melissa’s success and hard work.

“She has accomplished everything she has accomplished through hard work and her extraordinary talent.”

Jenny further dismissed any claims that she was not inviting Melissa to her wedding to fellow actor Donnie Wahlberg. She said the reports from the National Enquirer were “ridiculous”.

“Donnie and I are planning a very intimate ceremony that will involve a very small group of our closest friends and that's it – not a huge production with hundreds of friends and extended families.”
