The Kardashian-Jenner siblings were out in force at last night's ESPYs, where Caitlyn Jenner was honoured with the annual Arthur Ashe Courage Award.

While Kylie Jenner stole the show in the style stakes with her downright incredible Shady Zeineldine gold sequined fishtail gown, her older sister Kendall made headlines today for very different reasons.

If we were asked to stand in front of hundreds of flashing camera bulbs we'd barely be able to stand up straight, let alone pose with the poise that Kendall did last night.

But the thing that really has us weirded out today? The fact that the 19-year-old model managed to face the cameras for a full 20 seconds without blinking even once. Not once! Fashion brand ASOS picked up on the quirk of Kendall's red carpet routine, and posted this video on their Facebook page to prove just how strange it is:

Even in bright sunlight, with all the flashes, Kendall Jenner didn't blink ONCE in 19.5 seconds at last night's ESPYs. Such a professional

Posted by ASOS on Thursday, 16 July 2015

Here at SHEmazing! Towers we tried not blinking for the duration of the video and failed miserably, so kudos to Kendall for managing it with sunllight, camera flashes and shouting photographers in her face. 

Just to clear things up though, the reality star is definitely NOT a robot, as she has blinked on at least one previous occasion:

This family never cease to amaze us.

She's recently been critical of those who've called her out for being too thin. 

Indeed, Cheryl Fernandez Versini maintains that her incredibly streamlined physique is all down to being busy, as well as the stress of losing her father-in-law.

But certainly in Manchester earlier today, the 32-year-old looked slimmer than ever as she turned up for X Factor filming donning a short leather dress in a multi-coloured pattern, along with black Gucci heels.

Her hair was pulled back off her face and she kept her accessories to a minimum.

The singer also shared intimate snaps from the day with her fans. On Instagram, one shot shows Cheryl moving energetically with her arms in the air.

And a video clip sees her dancing with crew members.

"Just a mild version of what goes on behind the scenes when it gets to that time of day and me and my team are deliriously waiting for Simon to either arrive (or have his hair quaffed)," she playfully captioned the video.

However, and despite her frustrated assurances, Ms Fernandez Versini's remarkably slim appearance continues to cause concern. 

Indeed, as the latest set of pictures emerged from the Manchester auditions, many fans felt compelled to voice their opinions online.

"I am surprised she has any energy to stand up," said one, with another commenting: "She looks like a walking lampshade."

Meanwhile, a third suggested: "Your calves are not meant to be bigger than your thighs…"

In the last few years people have developed a love/hate relationship with carbs.

While some have abandoned them completely and get misty eyed at the mere mention of carbonara, others will proceed to tell you all about how great their life is now without them.

But did you know your locks might actually need carbs in order to unlock their most fabulous potential. Say what? Yes, it’s true.

Carbs are a source of energy that your body needs. Your hair cells grow rapidly, even though sometimes it doesn’t feel like it, so they need carbohydrates are necessary to promote growth and repair in the cells there.

According to Charlotte’s Book lacking carbs makes you tired, and your hair can start to feel the same way.

You can’t dismiss all carbs as being the same. Complex carbohydrates release energy slowly so you don’t get a sugar high associated with say, a full slice pan of white bread.

Carbs that promote healthy cells and hair growth are things like brown rice, grains and whole-grain breads. Complex carbs are also full of fibre and other vitamins you need for a healthy diet anyway, so this is just a fabulous hair bonus.

Timing is also everything. Just like with all eating routines, if you go hours and hours without snacking your blood sugar drops. Not only will you be battling the struggles of the hangry person, but your hair will be challenged too.

This means that the cells receive less energy, so growth and repair takes longer, or may not take place at all. Start stocking up on some healthy complex carbohydrate snacks and let your hair live it’s best life.

While a lot of us may be too young to remember the most highly-publicised court case in American history, we now have a second chance to see the whole thing.

And just in case that doesn’t entice you, it’s going to be full of Kardashians too!

The first pictures of the actors playing the young Kardashian clan on set of American Crime Story have been released, and they look SERIOUSLY similar to our favourite family twenty years ago.

It is no secret that the Kardashian name first came to prominence in the early 1990s during the murder trial of former sports star and actor, OJ Simpson.

In this new series from Glee creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk, David Schwimmer (yes, that’s Ross Gellar) is playing Robert Kardashian – Kim, Kourtney, Khloe and Rob’s Dad.

Selma Blair is playing Kris Jenner in the show. The Cruel Intentions star actually bumped into the momager on a red carpet two months ago, and their uncanny similarities were seen in person for the first time.

Meanwhile Oscar-winning actor, Cuba Gooding Jr, is set to play the role of Mr Simpson himself and John Travolta appears as Robert Shapiro, another of Mr Simpson's defence attorneys. 

With the world’s attention permanently fixated on the lives of the Kardashians, we have no doubt that this show, which is set for a 2016 release, will garner a HUGE audience.

It's barely been two months since Michelle Keegan had her own hen party in Dubai, but the actress got the chance to recreate some of the memories last weekend when she headed to a friend's hen at an equally exciting destination.

The former Coronation Street actress managed to find last-minute flights to Marbella to help her close friend Elizabeth Marsland celebrate her upcoming nuptials, and by the looks of it she had an incredible few days. Earlier this week we were treated to a few snaps of Michelle rocking a gorgeous nude bikini poolside in Marbs, and today she posted some more behind-the-scenes photos for her fans, dishing all the goss on her "epic" weekend.

"I thought I was going to be working all last weekend but it turned out that I wasn’t so I managed to find flights and join the group" she wrote on her Hello! online blog. "There were 25 of us in total and we had the BEST time. We really did…. The weather was glorious at around 30’s every day."

Kicking off the festivities with a meal on the outdoor terrace at Marbella's exclusive Tibu club on their first evening, the gang had a chilled out night checking out "a few of the cool bars round the marina."

Michelle also gave details on where to buy THAT nude bikini, which is from UK label Bikini Reef.

"I own a lot of their bikinis, just because I love how unique and girlie they are… I wore one of their kaftans on my hen in Dubai and they customised it to say ‘bride to be’ on the back! It went down a treat," she added.

"All the hens wore black ones too so we all looked very ‘hen like’ when we were poolside."

But the highlight of last weekend for the new Mrs. Wright? A Beyoncé dance class at a studio in the area, where all 25 of the girls learnt some seriously sexy moves to Single Ladies. "Such a good idea and it was absolutely hilarious," Michelle wrote.

"Everyone had SO much fun, and it’s now an added bonus we all can pull out our fabulous Beyoncé moves on nights out… if anyone reading this is planning a hen party I would heartily recommend this or similar as an activity for everyone to get involved in."

Sounds like a pretty amazing weekend all in all.

Ah running. There’s nothing quite like the feeling of your lungs burning and your entire body shaking when you realise you have made a terrible mistake and you should never have attempted this charity 5K.

And that’s only how it feels putting on your running shoes.

Lucky for you, we found a couple of clever running hacks that will make it easier. We’re not promising you’ll become Sonia O’Sullivan overnight, but hopefully this can help you give it a go. You could become one of those people who gets up to run with the sunrise because you think it's fun

 

Make your snacks for pre and post running delicious.

Especially if you’re running first thing in the morning (you hero). Avoid mushy sandwiches and pre-packaged health bars by looking to real healthy individuals ideas. Buzzfeed asked real healthy people what they eat if you need some inspiration. Go for high-carb, low-fiber and low-fat snacks before you run. 

 

Get a proper sports bra

It can make all the difference. Consider the different types and go ask the professionals about this, it could turn your morning jog into a world record attempt, you never know.

 

Banish shin splints

These can feel like actual death. Runners World have compiled some easy exercises you can do every day to strengthen your calves and ankles if you suffer from shin splints.

 

Sign up for a fun running event

Colour runs are having a bit of moment in the last year or so. Fancy dress may not seem like ideal running gear but they do say time flies when you’re having fun. Any race that’s going to be playing music en route is a sure winner.

 

Invest in some trendy running gear

Make sure your headband game is on point. They work for both keeping your hair and sweat out of your face and also they’re hilarious and fun. You can also get some temporary body art to keep your motivation up while mid-run. Try these to make you feel like an actual cheetah and never give up.

 

Slow down

No need to tackle 13 miles your first time out. Break up some distances with brisk walking to help build up stamina. Try the Galloway method or make up you own by working with some of your favourite songs, walk for the verse then run for the chorus and so on. 

 

Stop stretching before you run

According to studies it won't make a difference. Google dynamic stretches instead if you need a good warm up before you run.

Justin Martin was arrested after he allegedly got into a gun fight with police officers in Boston earlier this week.

According to reports, police officers from the Boston Police Department arrived at the scene upon hearing gunfire. When they arrived, they said that they found the 21-year-old High School Musical 3 star and another man armed and attempting to flee the scene.

TMZ reported that when police began chasing the suspects the actor, who also starred alongside Denzel Washington in Flight, turned and pointed his gun but did not open fire.

However, his fellow assailant did begin shooting which caused the officers to fire back. The Soloist actor was chased down and was eventually caught and arrested.

Justin was charged with unlawful possession of a firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition, carrying a loaded firearm, and two counts of assault by means of a dangerous weapon.

Zac Efron’s former co-star has plead not guilty to all counts and his bail was set at €32,000. His mother spoke to TMZ and said that she is going to try and bail her son out.

Millie Mackintosh and her husband Professor Green were rumoured to be going through some marriage issues lately, but the Made In Chelsea star just made it very clear they are as solid as ever.

Earlier this month the English beauty was reportedly heard shouting "I want a divorce… give me a divorce" at Prof Green (aka Stephen Manderson) outside a nightclub in Turkey, leading many to speculate that the couple were headed for marriage breakdown. Since then Millie has been making every effort on social media to prove that's not the case, most notably with today's cheeky Instagram update.

Posting a photo of her husband cuddled up topless in bed as he played with the couple's adorable dog, Millie wrote, "I know where I'm going to be all day." Not leaving much to the imagination there, anyway…

Millie and her rapper husband are currently enjoying a mini-break at the five-star Limewood Hotel in Hampshire, England, with the reality star posting some enviable photos of their visit:

As for Stephen, he got a little sneaky on Instagram himself lately when he almost convinced the world that Millie was pregnant with the couple's first child.

Posting a photo with the caption, "We have an announcement to make…" the English musician later revealed that Millie's 'baby' was in fact the result of a big dinner.

 

We have an announcement to make…

The couple definitely seem to be doing their best to present a united front after this month's nasty rumours, and long may it last.

If Justin Bieber ever posted a photograph of us and talked about how hot we are and how he has a “#bigcrush” on us, like most girls in the world, we would probably pass out.

But oh no, not Kelly Ripa. The American actress and TV presenter had a hilarious answer when she was asked about the Biebs fancying her.

 

Wow Kelly makes me feel some type of way no disrespect I know she's married! #bigcrush

A photo posted by Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) on

When co-host Michael Strahan asked the 44-year-old mum of three her opinion on Justin having the hots for her, Ms Ripa answered that she thinks it is “a cry for help.” To which, Michael hilariously spit up his drink and nearly fell off his chair.

And how does Kelly’s husband feel about Mr Bieber’s crush on his wife? According to her he was just curious as to where he found the photo. The laughs continued when she answered saying, “a dentist’s office from 1980.”

While Kelly’s answers were seriously funny, we definitely think she must have been at least a LITTLE flattered by the Biebs. Come on, how could you not be?

New mum Blake Lively has been enjoying a working holiday over the last week as she travels around Asia, and we are loving her updates so far. Especially her most recent one, which is something a little more risqué than we are used to from the demure blonde (or bronde, as she is these days).

Taking to Instagram this morning, the Gossip Girl actress posted a close-up shot of her top half in a pink and purple bikini, showing off her noticeably larger assets. Don't worry though, those perky boobs aren't down to surgery, as Blake was quick to point out. 

"The PERKS of breastfeeding #YesThatsRiceInMyHair #BlondevsBronde #BrondeJamesBronde," she wrote. 

Earlier this week Blake revealed she'd (kinda) ditched her signature blonde tresses  for a 'bronde' shade – a mix of brown and blonde – and it's clear she can't get enough of her new darker locks.

With Blake's husband Ryan Reynolds staying Stateside this week due to promotional commitments for his upcoming film Deadpool, it's unclear whether baby James is travelling with her mum or her dad, but we love Blake's cute (and 'perky') reference to being a new mum all the same.

The couple have been notoriously private about their new daughter since Blake gave birth over six months ago, even choosing to keep her name a secret until months later. Although James has made a couple of appearances on Blake and Ryan's social media feeds so far, we have yet to see her (no doubt adorable) little face.
