One of Hollywood’s funniest ladies is coming to visit us! Hurray! Yes, we’re all very excited to hear that Amy Schumer will be appearing at the Dublin International Film Festival.

Director-producer of her newest film Trainwreck, Judd Apatow and co-star Bill Hader are also going to be in attendance at the special screening.

Amy stars in the film as a woman who lives her life with no apologies, even when she maybe should.

A sort of living embodiment of the ‘sorry not sorry’ phrase that comes up quite a lot these days. Her character, called Amy, is a described as a something of a pessimist when it comes to romance until she meets a sports doctor, played by Bill Hader.

Grainne Humphreys, director of the festival said about the appearance: “2015 is proving to be the year of Amy Schumer, a pistol smart satirist, a Facebook feminist, a sassy screenwriter who has film friends in all the right places.

“She has clambered over her fellow comedic peers to ascend to the throne of this year's Comic Most Wanted.”

Amy, 34, not only stars in the film but is responsible for creating her character and writing the screenplay. In 2011 she got a lot of attention for her Comedy Central Roast of Charlie Sheen and became a household name in the US shortly after.

Working with Judd Apatow has turned out quite well for a lot of other famous faces, including fellow funny woman Lena Dunham. Judd is known for introducing new comedy voices into mainstream film.

While Amy doesn’t seem to need much introduction these days, we’re excited to see the trio all together.

The Irish premiere for Trainwreck is August 14 with the Dublin International Film Festival 2016 already being announced to take place February 18-28.

In case you were wondering, Lauren Goodger has confirmed that she is NOT pregnant with boyfriend Jack McLean’s baby.

Phew! We're glad that's cleared up. 

Writing in her column for New! magazine, Lauren has said that she’s sick of people jumping to conclusions.

 

I can't wait to have a baby and be a Mummy and I want to look like this #baby #forever #beautiful #HotMummy #family #unconditonalLove

A photo posted by Lauren Goodger (@laurenrosegoodger) on

While she has admitted in the past that she can’t wait to be a mum, the former Towie cast member is not going to be expecting anytime soon. Duly noted, Lauren; duly noted. 

She says that lately she’s been bombarded with talk of babies and parenting advice (really?). She’s also been dealing with lots of people close to her commenting on her energy levels.

She says in her column:"I'm feeling shattered at the moment. I've been training really hard and I feel exhausted by the afternoon. Between training and Jake, I'm knackered, ha ha!!”

Lauren has been training very hard recently and is showing off her impressive weight-loss on social media. However, despite looking super slim, plenty of folk (or so she claims) reckon there's a baba on the way. 

"People have asked me if my lethargy is down to me being pregnant, but it's not!”

The social media aficionado also commented on how her implants have come under fire. Online commenters noted how her implants looked misshapen and sore when she donned a plunging playsuit on a night out.

"Looking at the photo, I can see why people said they look dented, but I reckon it was just the lighting,” she explained.

She said that as she’s lost weight since January her implants have shrunk, but she is perfectly happy with how they look.

“They're still big but are in proportion with body now and I'm really happy with them."

She said that she’s not going to be uploading pictures just to prove people wrong and show them that she really is happy with her body.

Instead she’s sharing plenty of gym selfies with her almost 500K followers on Instagram.

The world's most famous family raised a few eyebrows yesterday when they stopped for lunch somewhere highly out of character.

With two world-famous actors (including one UNICEF ambassador) as their parents, you'd be forgiven for thinking Knox, Vivienne and co. lived on a freshly prepared vegan diet at all times. but it seems that's not always the case.

Brad, Angelina, 13-year-old Maddox and 9-year-old Shiloh stopped at a Subway shop in Glendale, California yesterday and by the sounds of it they ordered like pros. According to a member of staff, the foursome left with two meatball marinara footlongs, a six-inch chicken teriyaki and some children's meals. The bill came to $44 (€40) – hardly an A-list price tab – and Brad even left a tip of $6 (€5.50).

The Jolie-Pitts unexpected visit soon caught the attention of the media, with their pitstop even making a few news bulletins in the US later that day.

It seems the Hollywood couple had been visiting a Toys R Us store in the area with their brood before heading ice-skating for twins Knox and Vivienne's seventh birthdays. "They rented a bus and headed for an afternoon of ice-skating at Iceland Ice Skating Center," an onlooker told Us Weekly. "Knox and Viv were bundled up with snow hats and mittens. They were really excited about it."

This is not the first incident of late in which Brangelina have ensured their children live a somewhat normal life. Last month the stars and their six kids flew in economy class while travelling from Paris to Nice, waiting at Charles de Gaulle airport for two hours along with other passengers and putting their luggage in the overhead lockers themselves. 

First flying like us normal folks, then eating like us… what's next?

Each week we speak to an inspiring go-getter as part of our Rising Stars series.

Here, 24-year-old Hazel Wallace – better known to her many fans as the Food Medic, explains to us how she mingles her medical degree studies with managing her incredible online profile.

She also intimately discusses 6am starts, the sudden death of her father, and her BIG plans for the future…

Hazel Wallace is busy. Very busy in fact. She’s taking medical exams for one, and she runs her own business. Oh, and she still finds time to go to the gym.

If you follow her on Instagram (and if you don’t you should), you will probably have noticed that she looks her happiest when she’s working out.

And yes, she now has a body to die for.

By Hazel’s own admission, however, this wasn’t always the case.

Five years ago, when she moved from her native Co. Louth to the UK to pursue an initial degree in medical sciences, and a subsequent degree in medicine, she found herself switching between comfort food and what she thought was a healthy diet of fruit, cereals and yoghurt.

Although Hazel was slim, she says she felt lethargic, lacked in body confidence and had dry skin and hair.

“I developed bad eating habits and an unhealthy relationship with food,” Hazel explains to SHEmazing! “During a six week revision period leading up to exams, I decided to join the gym as an incentive to keep me motivated and energised during the study period.

“Alongside my new training programme, I began to feed my body the nourishment it so desperately needed and soon became a more energised, healthy and happy girl. I started to cook meals from scratch, try new foods and experiment with different ingredients.” 

Two years ago, Hazel decided to merge her love of health sciences with her interest in nutrition and fitness, and in doing so, created the Food Medic blog. Her aim was simple: to show people that a healthy lifestyle is possible for everyone regardless of how busy they are.

She also began posting to Instagram pictures from her sessions in the gym, and at last count, her followers totaled some 48,000.

Hazel finds her insta-fame “all a bit surreal” but says she is “humbled by the support and constant positivity” she receives from her followers.

Last year, she even released her first eBook, Clean Eats And Protein Treats.   

The 24-year-old explains that her interest in medicine was first triggered at 14 when her father suffered a stroke and sadly passed away. Medicine, she says, pushes her mentally, while training pushes her physically.

Understandably, her day is planned with military precision – because it has to be.

“I get up at 6am every day to reply to emails and get organised for the day ahead by packing my lunch, a gym bag and my bag for placement or the library,” she explains.

“I spend 9am-4pm in the library revising. I hit the gym afterwards for 60 minutes and come home for dinner. I do an hour of emails and social media or any Food Medic admin that needs attending to.

“I revise for another few hours, prep my lunch for the next day and try to get to bed by 11pm. On the weekends I generally do all my meetings and events. I’m just back from the NIKE NTC tour in Stockholm!” 

And Hazel has big plans too for the Food Medic brand and hopes to one day open a health food café.

“Some say I might bite off more than I can chew, but so far I’m enjoying juggling medicine and a business!” she laughs.

It's already one of the most hotly-anticipated sporting events of the year, and the rugby world cup is now just two months away.

Taking place in England from September 18 to October 31, Ireland will be expected to perform well – emerging top of Pool D, a group which also boasts fellow Six Nations teams France and Italy.

And at least now we know what the boys in green will be wearing: Canterbury, which is making the jersey for the first time since 2007, officially unveiled its design this morning in Galway.

The jersey is simple and classic – and has a striking similarity to the England jersey (probably because they're both made by Canterbury).

There is also a white trim around the neck and no collar.

The Irish rugby team is currently ranked third in the world behind New Zealand and South Africa.

Our best result in a world cup is still the quarter finals stage; we've made it that far five times, most recently in 2011 when the tournament was held in New Zealand.

As part of a new S! TV series, we'll be finding out the answers to some of our viewers' most pressing beauty questions, with the help of make-up artist Stephan Ulvund Øien from IsaDora Global. 

This week, Stephan schools us on how to get strong, on-trend brows at home. As well as having the right tools – a brow pencil, pigmented powder, brow gel, angled brush and more – it's also important to work with the natural line and arch of your brows to ensure they still suit your face shape.

If you want brows to make Kylie and Cara envious, take a look…

From vagina facials to conscious uncoupling to NEVER eating cheese from a tin (she'd rather 'smoke crack'), Gwyneth Paltrow has given fans some pretty bizarre teachings in her time. This one though, from her latest Goop newsletter, really brightened up our morning.

The actress and lifestyle website curator posted a VERY detailed tutorial this week, all about how to yawn correctly. Yup, you read that right. You've been yawning wrong all this time, and Gwyneth won't stand for it any more.

While having dinner with "wonderful yogi" Michael Year, the subject of yawning came up, and Gwyneth decided to pass on some of Michael's wisdom to her readers. So here's how to really "lean in" to your yawn, next time it happens (probably while reading these instructions):

1. Gently tilt your head back to a comfortable position and allow your mouth to hang open widely while you gently extend into it.

2. Contract the back of the throat as if to perform Ujjayi breathing—a whispery breath—which is typically done through your nose with your mouth closed. Breathe deeply through your mouth so you feel the air hit the back of your throat.

3. Inhale and exhale completely while allowing your shoulders to relax as you exhale.

4. When the yawn comes, reach and extend into it, riding the yawn to stretch the jaw muscles.

5. Repeat 8-10 times until tearing starts. As your jaw muscles stretch and relax, and the yawn expands, the lacrimal glands around the eye are squeezed and tearing is induced.

Thanks for that, Gwynnie…

Irish actress Evanna Lynch has taken to Facebook to in order to get young actors in the audition doors this July.

If you know any pint-sized Harry Potter lovers then Evanna, 23, wants you to encourage them to get themselves to London for the open auditions for J.K Rowling’s magical spin-off series Fantastic Beats and Where to Find Them. Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne will also be appearing.

According to the MuggleNet website, Warner Bros. has made the announcement that there will be an open call casting for a young woman’s role in London next Saturday.

The character is called Modesty  a “haunted young girl with an inner strength and stillness.” Sounds like someone Evanna is familiar with. Modesty has “an ability to see deep into people and understand them.”

Evanna has drawn comparisons between her own character Luna and Modesty of the spin-off series. She also thinks that the opportunity is there for any mega-fans like her to land the role of their dreams, just as she did.

Saw this on Mugglenet this morning and have to repost!! Warner Bros. are holding an open casting call on Saturday for…

Posted by Evanna Lynch on Monday, 13 July 2015

On Facebook, Evanna wrote a post about the casting call that encouraged all the Potter fans out there to give it a try. She said:

“I was shy, awkward, too-sensitive-for-this-industry, had not one professional credit to my name and I faced many a raised eyebrow and skeptical comment when voicing my dream to audition.”

Evanna says she loved the character so much which was what ultimately got her the role even though she wasn’t a trained actor.

“I only went out of love for the books and a fierce desire to tell Luna’s story the right way. But I was by all means, NOT ready or trained to audition for a role in a mega movie franchise.”

We think she did a pretty good job considering her character became loved by Potter fans around the world.

Evanna wrote that she just wants to encourage any girls who feel like they’re too shy or might not fit the Hollywood ideal to try what they love. “Put all those alleged obstacles out of your mind and just go as you, nothing more, nothing less,” she wrote to her fans.

Nicely done, Evanna.

Earlier this month, Brody Jenner shocked fans of The Hills when he revealed that much of his relationship with Lauren Conrad was fake for the purposes of the MTV reality show.

Now the 31-year-old has given us some more insights into just how fickle the whole set-up was, when he revealed that he and Lauren really were just friends off set. "A lot of that show was scripted. A lot was improv," he told Yahoo! Style this week.

Describing LC as nothing more romantic than a "dear friend," the reality star said it was funny to have to pretend to be attracted to her during filming.

"It was pretty funny to have to live that reality…We were just friends," he said. "We’d film a scene of us kissing or being in this lovey-dovey scene, and then right after it would be like, 'Cut,' and we’d be like, 'Great to see you,' and we’d go our separate ways."

Was it really all for show? This GIF begs to differ:

During his time on the show, Brody was also linked to Lauren's pals Jen Bunney, Audrina Patridge and later Kristin Cavallari. However he now says those relationships were fakes, having been over-dramatised for the cameras.

"I didn’t have sex with Jen Bunney," he said. "I didn’t hook up with Audrina [Patridge]. I didn’t hook up with any of these girls. And then you get all these people saying, 'Oh, Brody’s a male wh**e. He sleeps with all these girls,' when in actuality I didn’t do that."

As for his other co-stars, Brody said that Spencer Pratt in particular loved the "fake" element of the show and played up to it often. "The crazy thing about Spencer is that he manifested his own destiny," Brody explained.

"'He said, 'I want to be the biggest villain in the whole world. I want people to hate me.; He scripted out all those moments on The Hills. He creates all that drama, but then it actually caught up to him."

It's been less than two months since Michelle Keegan returned from her sun-drenched honeymoon in the Maldives and Dubai, but the brunette beauty headed to the beach again over the weekend… and rocked some serious bikini style while she was there.

The actress was in Marbella with her close friend Elizabeth Marsland, who was celebrating her hen party ahead of her wedding to Emmerdale star Kelvin Fletcher later this year. With over 20 girls heading to the Spanish resort town for the hen, Michelle obviously put in some serious effort to make sure her bikini game was on point.

Posing by the sunloungers in a beautiful wraparound two-piece and white sarong from Bikini Reef, while wearing a mask of Elizabeth's face (not creepy at all), the former Coronation Street star looked just as toned and fit as she did on her recent honeymoon:

"Had the BEST weekend on@littlepintsize hen! Safe to say Marbella wiped the floor with me!" the actress wrote.

In another photo posted by Elizabeth herself, Michelle works a lavender cropped tank top with a black bra underneath as she enjoys the best of the Marbs nightlife.

As for Michelle's new husband Mark Wright, he wasn't far away, having spent the weekend DJing on the Spanish island of Magaluf. Taking to Twitter to post a picture of himself, it's fair to say Mark didn't hold up quite as well as his wife did on her night out:

"My gig in magas tonight !! I think I gave it a bit to much !! #sweatingell" he wrote.

Nice to see the pair are enjoying post-wedding life…

If we had to pick one beauty product we couldn’t live without, mascara would more than likely be at the top of the list. Don’t make us choose please, that’s just mean.

For a lot of make-up addicts their mascara is like a security blanket they just don’t want to give up. . However! Mascara application is something that should be so simple, but can also go terribly, terribly wrong.

Smudging clumping and even sneezing are all little mishaps that we end up facing at some point.Unless you’re a mascara god. Fortunately, there’s some easy tricks that you can use every time to ensure flawless application. No falsies necessary, yay!

If your mascara has gotten a little dry, or become too thick to use, soak it in a cup of hot water for a few minutes to loosen it up for easier application.

If you want the all-day staying-power that waterproof mascara provides, you can expect it to be tougher to remove at the end of the day. Use a normal mascara as a base and then apply a coat of waterproof mascara over the top. Unless you can pull off the single tear drop like Lauren…

If you want to go all out with your long lashes, go for a lash primer. Consider it the same as a foundation primer for those who are serious about wearing some dramatic lashes all day every day. It gives your lashes better grip so your mascara goes on easier and smoother.

The old reliable technique to get the best of your mascara means you shouldn’t pump the wand in and out of the container as it dries it out faster. Instead swirl the wand around the container.

Avoid clumps by wiping off the tip of the wand with tissue so you don’t have the feeling of terror of your lashes becoming one big clump of uni-lash, no one wants that.

Get the most out of your eye lash curler with a hair-styling staple. Your hair dryer. Give your curler a blast of hot air for longer-lasting curl. Just make sure it’s not too hot before you use it, you don’t want to lose any of those precious lashes.

Rihanna has become the victim of another alleged stalker only a year after a previous stalker had been arrested.

The 27-year old Umbrella singer has been the victim of threatening messages on social media. The man had even posted a photograph of a gun and bullets.

On April 30 the alleged stalker posted a selfie outside Riri’s home but when police arrived to the location he had left. Reports from TMZ have said that the user account from where the tweets were sent is registered under two separate names.

The police in the U.S are now tracking the suspect electronically. While the selfies outside her home are not the most pleasant, the other messages he wrote are far more disturbing.

In a tweet the man, named as Alex Mercer, wrote “Should of killed @rihanna a minute back I would be good right now. Sorcery is a weapon I use guns, bout to get a gun licence, can’t use my hands.”

In early June he posted a message saying “Imma marry @rihanna Lord willing s#omebody might die or something.”

Gossip Cop reports that some of the messages, which included Bible verses, were sent to Rihanna’s ex-boyfriend Chris Brown as well as the singer herself.

Some of the man’s tweets refer to her as his “baby momma” and others even refer to the singer’s young niece: “@rihanna tell majesty that her step uncle said happy birthday.”

His Twitter account was suspended but he appears to be using an alias in order to continue to bombard the star with messages. He even directed one to Jay-Z, whose record label Rihanna is signed with: “@S_C_ tell them in not a stalker you know me other page got suspended.”

Early in June a man was reportedly arrested after attempting to gain entry to Rihanna’s New York apartment building but was stopped by her bodyguard.  

This is not the first time Riri has had to deal with situations involving trespassers and stalkers. This time last year a 53-year old man was arrested after he was hand-delivering unsettling messages to Rihanna’s Soho apartment.
