First it was Taylor Swift, now it’s Demi Lovato. Katy Perry just can’t seem to stay on the good side of her fellow pop stars. The face of Moschino is under fire again, and this time it’s because Demi isn’t appreciating fans claiming her music is a rip-off of Katy’s. 

Demi had plenty of reason to celebrate this week after her new single Cool For The Summer went to number one on the iTunes charts, but it was a short-lived celebration for the 22-year old as some music fans were quick to point out the sound wasn’t all that original. 

After hearing complaints that the song sounded a little too like Katy Perry’s smash hit I Kissed a Girl, Demi lashed out on Twitter to stop the comparisons.

Fan were saying Demi’s new song sounded like a mix of Katy Perry’s I Kissed a Girl and Jessie J’s Domino, but Demi was quick to respond in defence of her work.

Katy has yet to respond, but given her history of dramatic catfights, we reckon it won't be long until she does.

Actress Amanda Seyfried has had an incredible career so far in her 29 short years, but she's ready to start easing off her work and making time to start a family.

The Mean Girls star spoke about her hopes for the future in a new interview with Marie Claire, and said her main priority at the moment is planning for motherhood. "I keep feeling like my eggs are dying off. I need to get on it… I want a child. Badly,' she said in the frank interview.

Amanda has been in a relationship with fellow actor Justin Long for the past two years and has spoken before about her wish to settle down with him somewhere far away from the Hollywood glitz and glamour.

The actress recently purchased a second home in upstate New York, and said she hopes it will be her family home one day.

"I want to have kids. And I want them to go to local schools, and there are some really good schools around here," she said to Vogue while discussing the new house in Stone Ridge. "I would like my life to be the same as it is now, but with a little less stress and a little less work."

While many young women may find the idea of motherhood daunting, Amanda says she is looking forward to the challenge. "I'm not ready but nobody's ready. It changes everything… so how you can ever be ready for that?" she told Marie Claire.

The Les Miserables star has made efforts to take more control of her life and mental health in recent years, following a 2012 interview on David Letterman in which she admitted she'd downed shots of whiskey before the live show to calm her nerves.

"I watched it and was like ‘That is not what I want to promote about myself,'" she revealed earlier this year.

Back in 2013, Amanda opened up to InStyle magazine about her panic disorder and OCD, and said she was taking the anti-depressant Lexapro to help her cope. "I have a lot of anxiety that I’ve been struggling with my whole life,” she told Vogue. “So I have been working through it. I’m terrified, but this is exactly what I wanted.”

Yesterday SHEmazing! got the chance to have a sneak preview of what is set to hit River Island shops in the coming months, and we are SO excited. 

This season has been dominated by camel colours, fringe and statement jewellery, and don't worry, these trends are not going anywhere yet as River Island have brought them back again with a more autumn/winter spin. The A/W15 collection also features loads of faux fur, perfect for looking chic on colder days.

We're talking coats, jackets, bags and shoes, it's so stylish and with plenty of colour. But our favourite thing of all about this new collection has to be the sixties and seventies running throughout: think over-the-knee boots, miniskirts and vintage-style prints.

We know you're not ready to let go of the summer clothes just yet, but we guarantee you'll be tempted to plan ahead when you see what's on offer for A/W15.

Some of the coats and jackets for next season

Seventies style stole the show

Faux fur features a LOT… and it's all stunning

If you live in Spiddal and thought you saw Batman recently, you’re not seeing things after all.

Julian Checkley has created one of the best Batman costumes the internet has ever seen.

Galway based Julian runs the Order 66 Creatures and Effects studio in Ireland and created the amazing costume based on the Batsuit from Batman: Arkham Origins. We honestly wouldn’t mind Ben Affleck taking a trip to Galway to try it on for size.

Julian and his team in Galway designed the costume and ordered the 3D-prints from a company in Canada.

After having them delivered to Ireland the team cleaned them up and put the whole costume together. And it is mind blowing. When asked how it really feels to be the Batman, Julian keeps it real: “At first you feel like a bit of an idiot: you're a 45-year old guy dressed in a Batman suit.”

Soz, Ben Affleck, turns out you’re not that cool after all.

Julian has said that putting the costume together involves airbrushing and making an undervest that isn’t just lightweight, but flexible too. Important to for leaping around Eyre Square after villains we’re sure.

Galway residents were left a bit baffled when they spotted Batman charging around town like a true comic book hero. With the help of professional photographer Kamil Krawczak Julian donned the suit and unleashed his inner superhero.

He took to Galway city’s rooftops to photograph the suit in all its fabulous glory.

The suit has taken the internet by storm with images going viral on popular sites Reddit and imgur.

Julian has even had his work featured in The Irish Times and gotten a shout out from Ville-Valtteri Kinnunen, who designed the Batsuit for the popular Batman video game. Impressive.

An Irish Batman out on the streets? If someone has €8,000 to spare then it could become a reality.

Remember Sister Sister? It feels like just yesterday we were watching Tia and Tamara send poor Roger climbing back down from that window feeling utterly dejected.

Now, the twins are all grown up with kids of their own.

Tamera Mowry-Housley, 36, and husband Adam welcomed their second child this week. Ariah Talea Housley was born early yesterday morning.

The parents told People magazine “We are beyond overjoyed and blessed with our beautiful baby girl," adding that their toddler son Aden "already made a welcome video for her.” 

The couple announced that Tamera was pregnant with their second child in January, but one person who already knew was the actress' twin Tia, as the pair still have that twin-mind thing going on apparently. 

Tamera admitted that it’s impossible to keep secrets from her sister, saying, “she just called me and she was like, ‘Are you pregnant?’ And I said, ‘Yep, I am!’"

The former sitcom star was convinced by her fellow hosts on chat show The Real to find out the sex of her baby, and although she seemed delighted to be expecting a baby girl, her husband was a little more apprehensive. "I am scared out of my mind," he told the show at the time.

She may have had a relatively smooth pregnancy, but all the same we imagine Tamera is delighted it's over, having told American Baby magazine earlier this year that she gained a lot of weight during both of her pregnancies. “I carry big. It doesn’t matter how much I eat or exercise, I make big babies," she explained.

Cute babies too, because there’s some pretty genes happening in the Mowry-Housley family. Congratulations to the happy family!

Calvin Harris is currently being jetted around Europe courtesy of his new girlfriend Taylor Swift, but she's not his first high-profile girlfriend.

Long before even meeting Taylor, Calvin dated How We Do singer Rita Ora, and although things ended extremely messily, Rita says there's no bad feelings there at all nowadays.

Although Calvin was dating another woman prior to meeting Taylor – model Aarika Wolf – all eyes are on Rita now to see what she thinks of her ex's romance with a rival singer. There's no drama here though, as Rita says she's simply not the jealous type.

"I'm a girl's girl. I'm not going to have that first instinct of jealousy vibe," she told the Evening Standard.

Taylor and Rita have been pictured together numerous times at award shows, although they haven't seen much of each other since Calvin came on the scene. In fact, it's rumoured Rita stayed backstage at the recent Billboard Music Awards to avoid coming face-to-face with the couple. However Rita still speaks highly of the Shake It Off singer and says she has the utmost respect for her work.

"I think she's one of the most incredible songwriters of our generation. I'm not even just saying it," she told music channel Noisey back in May. "I support women and it comes back to you. I'd love that support. There's a fine line between believing in yourself and being a f***ng arsehole. I don't step on people's toes," she added.

Calvin and Rita dated for a year before things came to a sudden end last summer. Relations soon turned hostile when Scottish DJ Calvin refused to let his ex perform their joint track I Will Never Let You Down at last year's Teen Choice Awards, something which Rita says made things a bit "weird" between them.

We're glad to see there's no grudges being held after all of that drama.

It seems the Kardashian family have been through quite a bit in their lifetimes, and now Kim has opened up about one particularly scary incident, which occurred when her youngest sister Kylie was a child.

During a speech at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco, Kim explained that Kylie was extremely sick when she was younger, so much so that doctors worried she may have a brain tumour.

Kim and her sisters have long been active with children's charities and have visited countless children's hospitals, something which the reality star says was spurred on by Kylie's health scare.

"I'm choosing to get involved in children's hospitals. You don't have to have money to give back and that is so much more meaningful – you can give your time," the mum-of-one told the audience.

Now a fearless teenager who enjoys adrenaline-fuelled activities like snowboarding and dune buggy racing, things weren't always so simple in Kylie's life. Although the illness occurred over a decade ago, Kim said she still thinks back on it as a terrifying time, and recalled having "to watch Kylie while my mom was in the shower, for example."

Long before the Keeping Up With The Kardashians cameras started rolling, Kylie was so sick that she ended up spending a month in hospital while the doctors attempted to figure out what was wrong.

Moving on from the topic of health, Kim, who is pregnant with her second child, discussed a range of things including her coffee-table book Selfish, Hillary Clinton running for president and, of course, Spanx.

When she was asked if she thinks her bikini snaps and sultry photos are objectifying, she said "I don't think it's a bad thing. I think there's power in that and I think I have the control to put out what I want so even if I'm objectifying myself, I feel good about it."

Bad news for Enrique Iglesias as he now is set to appear in court after he was  pulled over by the cops on May 6th in Miami. 

The Spanish singer has faced two misdemeanour charges as he was driving with a license which was suspended in May of this year. 

According to the police report, Enrique was pulled over in Florida and he "jumped from inside the driver's seat onto the rear passenger's seat," while his male passenger "jumped from the front passenger's seat onto the driver's seat."

Although this seat switch didn't fool anyone, it has been reported that both men were handcuffed and Enrique was charged with an obstruction without violence. 

His second charge was for driving with a driving license that had been suspended, which the police man noticed once he put his date of birth and social security number through the system. 

The male passenger in the car with Enrique, who is reported to be his tour manager, was also charged with an obstruction without violence and "stated he does not know why he switch (sic) seats" with Iglesias.

Both men had to sign a release to say they would appear in court and they were then both free to go. They are set to appear in court on July 10th.

Earlier this morning Rihanna finally dropped the video for her current single B*tch Better Have My Money. Last Sunday the singer treated the audience at the BET Awards to a one-minute preview, but it was nothing compared to the real deal.

If you've listened to the song itself, you'll already have an idea of what the video is like – fierce, empowering and VERY explicit. The short film begins with a beautiful Taylor Swift-esque blonde applying her make-up before leaving her house. Walking into the elevator, she comes face-to-face with Rihanna before the doors close.

When the elevator doors open again, the blonde is gone, and all that remains is RiRi and a mysteriously large trunk… so we can guess what happened there.

What follows is not for the faint-hearted. The moral of the story? B*itch better have my money.

Check out the video below… it's RiRi at her very best.

Weeks after she publicly came out as bisexual in an interview with Paper magazine, Miley Cyrus has been spotted getting intimate with Victoria's Secret model Stella Maxwell.

The 22-year-old singer had been linked to Stella in recent weeks, but neither had confirmed anything until now. Earlier this week though, the pair were spotted passionately kissing while on the set of Miley's new music video in Hollywood.

In a video obtained by TMZ, Miley and Stella can be seen looking towards the cameras before beginning to kiss. Things get so hot and heavy at one stage that TMZ even chose to blur the video at a certain point.

Wearing a gold sequinned mini dress and knee-high boots while Stella sported a black jumpsuit and cropped denim jacket, Miley seemed smitten with her new love interest. The couple were first rumoured to be an item a few weeks back when Miley posted this Instagram photo of them together:

Discussing her decision to tell the world she was bisexual, Miley said it was something she had known for years, and that she came out to her family back in her Hannah Montana days. "I remember telling [my mom] 'I admire women in a different way,'" the singer said, recalling a conversation she'd had with her mother aged 14. "And she asked me what that meant. And I said, 'I love them. I love them like I love boys.'"

Prior to meeting Stella, Miley was dating Patrick Schwarzenegger, son of acting legend Arnold Schwarzenegger. The couple were dating for a few months but things went south when Patrick was seen getting very cosy with another woman while on his spring break in Mexico.

We're delighted to see she has found someone new!

The sun is finally here and we are all soaking up as much as we can possibly get.

With temperatures nearing the-mid 20’s it’s safe to say that we are feeling the heat and noticing the colour difference in our skin when we step back inside.

Another little perk to the sunshine is the natural highlights that run through our hair after a day in the rays… Or is it?

While the new little blondie bits make our hair look healthy and glowing, they are in fact a result of hair damage.

When you think about it, we always put on sun cream to protect our skin so why would we not do the same for our hair?

To prevent our hair from becoming split and damaged in the sun, here are five tips to help you keep your hair healthy this summer.

Condition

As the sun breaks down the protein in your hair, it is important that you keep it well moisturised throughout the day so as to avoid any permanent damage. So, when you get up in the morning, put conditioner in your hair and leave it in throughout the day – no rinsing allowed! Well, until you’re out of the sun anyway.

A fedora perhaps?

Hats are the best way to keep your hair protected when you are out in the sun. It’s a great summer for fedoras and floppy hats because wide-brimmed styles are the best for providing full protection.

Sun cream… for your hair?

Yep, the same way that UV protection works for your skin, it works for your hair. A great way to apply this is by mixing 3 tsps of sun cream (preferably a high factor) with a cup and a half of water together in a spray can. Then, just simply spray onto your like any normal hair spray.

Put down that lemon

As much as well all do love the blonde boost that our hair gets in the sun, adding blonde intensifiers such as lemon will greatly damage our hair. Lemon or lemon based products, peroxide and alcohol based products should never be used when in the sun.

Tie it up

Putting your hair up in a bun or any kind of wrapped-up style is a great way to protect your hair’s ends from the sun. The end of the hair strand is the weakest part so it will be more easily damaged than the top of the hair.

They're hardly the shy and retiring type of family, but the latest magazine cover from the Kardashian-Jenner clan is certainly seriously eye-catching. 

Still, no one could deny that Kim Kardashian, who is currently pregnant with her second child, looks incredible on the front of the most recent edition of Rolling Stone magazine.

For the shoot, the 34-year-old embraced a nautical theme, donning a ship captain's hat, navy striped Breton vest, and a crimson bra. 

The cover-shot was taken by the famed Terry Richardson, who was worked with Mrs West on numerous occasions previously.

His work also included high-profile advertising campaigns for Marc Jacobs, Tom Ford, and Yves Saint Laurent. 

And although the reality TV star (naturally) works with a stylist, she reveals in the magazine's accompanying interview that "the makeover Kanye has given me is amazing,” although she did add that she reckons that she would have embraced high-fashion eventually – even without her fashionista husband's help. 

Kim furthermore explained: "I value his opinion. There’s no one more creative in my eyes. There’s no one that gets the relevancy of pop culture [more]."

Even more interestingly, she also revealed that she rarely wears underwear – unless it's figure-hugging, control Spanx.​
