It's no secret that David and Victoria Beckham are one of the best looking A-list couples, so it's no surprise that they would have the most adorable off-spring imaginable. 

Since David joined Instagram a few months ago, he has filled our newsfeed with his lovely family snaps and we seriously hope he keeps them coming. 

Along with David, Victoria and their eldest son, Brooklyn, also share some of their family moments on Instagram and they have now become our favourite celebrity family on social media. 

Over the weekend, Victoria shared an adorable snap of Brooklyn to congratulate him on passing all of his exams and it melted our hearts..

David is also a pro at tugging at our heart strings as he posts pictures with his kids. This post of his three boys shows how important family is to him. "Brothers in arms. My gorgeous boys."

And it's no secret that he's extremely proud of 16-year-old Brooklyn. "Something tells me I love this not so little man so much… Growing up fast into a perfect gentleman and hiking buddy.. I love you big boy." 

 

But Brooklyn has to be the cutest of all, of course. His Instagram account shows how he is practising his photography skills and how he loves to hang out with his little sis.

Mel Gibson's publicist has strongly denied claims he physically assaulted a female photographer outside a cinema in Sydney last night.

Speaking to Syndey's Daily Telegraph this morning, photographer Kristi Miller alleged the US actor turned on her after she took a photo of him leaving the Palace Verona cinema with his new girlfriend Rosalind Ross.

"I took a photo of Mel and his girlfriend and when I turned around he shoved my back really hard," Ms. Miller said.

"It shocked me because I wasn’t expecting it. I don’t know if it was his hands or elbow… I thought he was going to punch me in the face."

Describing the alleged attack, Ms Miller, said the actor was "spitting in my face as he was yelling at me, calling me a dog, saying I’m not even a human being and I will go to hell. He swore and called me a c**t. It was non-stop, he didn’t even breathe."

The story was widely reported in Australian media this morning, but Mel's publicist has denied there was any physical contact between the Braveheart actor and Ms. Miller.

"Basically Mr Gibson and his friend [Ms. Ross] were being harrassed by this photographer and he asked her repeatedly to stop, which she did not,” he told Guardian Australia. “There was never any physical contact whatsoever and the story being told by her is a complete fabrication of the truth.”

Police in the Surry Hills area of Sydney told media they were investigating reports that a male "became involved in an altercation with a photographer outside a cinema on Oxford Street" yesterday evening.

Mel and Rosalind had been at the Palace Verona to watch David Oelhoffen’s 2014 film Far From Men. The actor is living Down Under as work commences on his fifth directorial project, Hacksaw Ridge, starring Andrew Garfield as Desmond Doss, a conscientious objector during WW2.

This incident is not the first time Mel has been accused of physical assault. Back in 2011 he reached an out-of-court settlement with former girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva, who is also the mother of his five-year-old daugher Lucia.

Ms. Grigorieva claimed the actor has physically and verbally abused her during their relationship. She was awarded $750,000 (€647,000) in the settlement, along with a house in California to live in with Lucia until the young girl turns 18, at which point the house must be sold and the proceeds placed in a trust fund.

Rita Ora has opened up about her biggest fear, saying the idea of death is something that has always terrified her.

The 24-year-old said she has been attending counselling since she was a child after suffering panic attacks because of her fear. Rita, who makes her first appearance on the X Factor as a judge this weekend, admits death is her "biggest phobia."

According to The Sun the singer said, "I used to have panic attacks when I was little, saying 'Mum, I don't want to die.' I have been going to therapy and I still try to go every week."

In 2013, the Body On Me singer said one panic attack in particular had completely changed her outlook on life. 

Speaking about the experience, she said: "It scared the living s*** out of me. I started to value things, see things differently. This world can really eat you up and you can forget who you are."

Although she is now learning to deal with her anxiety issues, she said one of her scariest childhood memories is playing with friends in a cemetery in London. "I was seven and playing hide and seek, but no one found me. I thought I was going to get stolen by ghosts."

 

Thank you!! http://smarturl.it/BodyOnMe

Meanwhile, it is reported that Rita will miss the premiere of the X Factor in London this Friday. 

Although Simon pulled out all the stops in securing her the job as a judge in the singing show, her busy US schedule for promoting her latest single with Chris Brown is taking over. 

According to the Daily Mail, the news that she will not be attending the red carpet event with the rest of the judges is said to be a "real blow".

While touring Australia back in March, Ed Sheeran made a stop at  the Home and Away set in Sydney to film with the cast, and now his cameo scenes are set to premiere.

At the time all details of the singer's appearance on the popular Aussie drama were kept under wraps, with producers confirming only that Ed would play himself. Now we've finally been blessed with the details and it sounds like Ed's episode will make for brilliant viewing.

The Thinking Out Loud singer will apparently make a visit to Summer Bay to visit his old nanny, Marilyn Chambers, played by long-standing cast member Emily Symons.

When Marilyn tells residents that her darling 'Teddy' is coming to see her, nobody is any the wiser… until Ed himself shows up and treats the town to a surprise performance in The Diner. 

While Ed's cameo is set to air on Australian TV in the next week or two, the fact that Ireland and the UK are at least a month behind on episodes means that we may have to wait a while to watch it on this side of the world.

Taking time out from a hectic touring schedule to film on set was a no-brainer for Ed, who says he grew up with Home and Away. "It's an Australian institution. It's always on in my local chip shop," he said.

"I got asked to do it and it sounded like it could be fun. I did Shortland Street in New Zealand as well and I'm sure if Emmerdale or EastEnders ever ask me in England I would do that as well." 

Cast member Alec Snow, who plays Matt Page in the long-running soap, said the singer was extremely easy to work with and "a really down-to-earth, nice guy that genuinely wanted to be there."

First stop Summer Bay, next stop Fair City's Carrigstown? We could definitely see Ed sitting down to a pint in McCoy's…

We're excited for this one!

Kristen Stewart is all set to play fashion house founder, Coco Chanel in a new movie which will be directed by Karl Lagerfeld. 

The short film which will premiere at the Metiers d'Arts show in Rome in December will see Kristen depict an actress who is preparing to play Coco for a movie in the short film.

How meta. 

But it really is no wonder that there is a little twist as Karl Lagerfeld is known for producing the shock factor. 

Women's Wear Daily website reports that the film will be "a fictional, behind-the-scenes look at a yet-to-be-made biopic about founder Gabrielle (Coco) Chanel," starring Stewart as a young Chanel alongside actress Geraldine Chapline, who has also portrayed the fashion house founder in previous biopic films".

Karl, the creative director of Chanel, hired Kristen after she reportedly impressed him in the initial stages of the auditions. 

He revealed that the Twilight actress played the role "really, really mean". 

"You only see her in tests and she's complaining about everything. She's mean with the director, mean with the producer."

Kristen is no stranger to Chanel though, as she has modelled for some of their major campaigns, as well as sitting front row at many of their fashion week runway shows.

Mr Lagerfeld conceived the plot, dialogue, costumes and casting, also convincing Harper’s Bazaar editor Laura Brown to portray an American journalist.

“They make so many movies about Chanel, why can’t I make one?” he shrugged.

We think this is going to be interesting!

Miley Cyrus and Stella Maxwell confirmed their relationship a few months ago with some serious PDA, but the pair have not been seen together much since then. 

It seems although they were inseparable a few weeks ago, Stella is no where to be seen by Miley's side now. 

As Miley gears up to present the MTV VMAs, there is no sign of her beau in any of her recent snaps and Stella seems to be preoccupied with her modelling duties.

Stella took to Instagram to share snaps of her and Lily-Rose Depp, daughter of Johnny Depp, modelling for Love magazine, and they look seriously cosy. 

While the Victoria's Secret model post these snaps, Miley seemed to be home alone posting selfies of her with her dog and her choice of night time reading. 

This is not the first time Stella has posted a picture with Lily-Rose and it has prompted fans to ask the question: "Where's Miley?"

Meanwhile, Miley has decided to inform fans that she would rather not shower these days. She posted a photo of herself in a towel saying: "When you take a shower and immediately regret it #showeringistheoldme."

The 23-year-old also informed fans that My Little Pony is the best book to read before bed. "summmm goodnight reading (hint: fillin your brain with MLP b4 sweepy time is key ingredient to goooood dreamzzzz) #B4L #brony."

Theatre is a notoriously tough industry to crack, but it seems you don't have to be the next Benedict Cumberbatch to make your mark on the stage. The creators of a new show debuting at this year's Dublin Theatre Festival are looking for help… from the men of Ireland.

THEATREclub need men from all walks of life to take part in their show, The Game, a new work they hope will redress misogyny by exploring sex work and prostitution in Ireland in a brand new way. 

The show runs from October 6 – 11 in the Cube at the Temple Bar's Project Arts Centre, an intimate venue with a capacity of 70 – 80 people. Each volunteer would only be required to give up a few hours of their time, with five new participants taking to the stage each evening to play "The Game."

The best part? There are no lines to learn, no script, and whatever happens happens. Each volunteer is "doing this to be part of an event – a symbolic act – that calls us all to consider, to think and to review," THEATREclub explains. The men involved won't have to discuss their own experiences, instead they'll be playing out the stories of other men. 

The subculture of prostitution in Ireland might seem like a heavy topic to base a play on, but many of THEATREclub's past works have dealt with similarly tough issues, like 2010's critically acclaimed Heroin, which examined the social history of the drug in this country, and 2013's History, telling the story of the residents of St Michael's Estate in Inchicore.

If you know someone who would be interested in getting involved or simply want to find out more, contact info@theatreclub.ie ASAP.

Tickets for The Game at the Dublin Theatre Festival are available to purchase here.

With the sun shining outside and Halloween still weeks away, Christmas couldn't have been the furthest thing from our minds… until we stepped into the Christmas Market at Brown Thomas.

A dedicated Christmas area opened at Brown Thomas stores  in Dublin, Cork and Limerick last week, catering to anyone planning ahead for the upcoming festive season, and S! TV headed along for a first look.

This year's Christmas range is divided into four themes – Ice Palace, Venetian Winter, I Love Candy and of course, Santa's Journey. With a huge selection of seasonal decorations, gifts and food on offer, there's no shortage of temptation.

Roll on December 25th…

As we are still awaiting the official announcement of the celebrities taking part in Celebrity Big Brother, we have been given a sneak peak at the house they will be spending their time in. 

This instalment of the television series will see celebrities from the UK battle it out against celebrities from the USA which is set to make for some seriously interesting viewing.

The decor of the the house is UK and USA inspired as the Statue of Liberty and Big Ben both feature, along with a lot of red, white and blue. 

The house is fully equipped with a glam room, a swimming pool and immaculately kept lawns. 

The blue, red and white theme extends through out the entire house with the blue sofas being decorated in patriotic pillows. 

The house even boasts a HUGE American style diner and we are getting seriously jealous of housemates all of a sudden.   

Former TOWIE star Dan Osbourne has been confirmed to be entering the house and there is a lot of speculation as to who will be joining him. 

It is rumoured that former super model Janice Dickinson, reality TV star Gemma Collins and wrestler Hulk Hogan could all be gearing up to enter the house too.

It was the 18th birthday present that effectively blew all other gifts out of the water: a white 482 Italia Ferrari, valued at a cool €300,000.

But despite boyfriend Tyga's incredible generosity, it seems that the vehicle wasn't entirely to Kylie Jenner's tastes: over the weekend she had the colour changed, also adding in bright new hubcaps.

The reality TV star and her beau – as well as much of the rest of the Kardashian-Jenner clan – have been partying on the Caribbean island of St Barts, with the KUWTK cameras in tow, of course.

And the break was the perfect time to have her car seen to: Forgiato Wheels in LA's Sun Valley collected and dropped back the newly spruced-up drive while she enjoyed her beach break.

So, what did Kylie go for?

Well, she had the – incredibly expensive – Italian white paint stripped off and replaced with a blue-grey tint. Then the standard black hubcaps were removed and replaced with bright red ones. 

The teenager celebrated the image overhauled with a spin around LA yesterday with BFF singer Pia Mia, also 18, in the passenger's seat. 

And while she was getting the Ferrari seen too, the TV personality also dropped in her €200,000 Mercedes G-Wagon for a shake-up too: the bright red exterior was swapped to a more muted blue. 

We reckon that millionaire Ms Jenner picked up the tab for the paint-job herself: after all, Tyga has battled financial woes in recent years and we reckon that coughing up a six-figure sum for his girlfriend's birthday present will have put enough of a dent in his bank account without having to then worry about added extras.

 

mmmmmm hello @forgiato

Kim Kardashian is often regarded as the queen of social media and today that has been made pretty much official. 

Since signing up to the photo-sharing service Kim and Beyoncé have always been neck-and-neck in terms of rallying up the Instagram troops – but now the reality television star has now come out in front, becoming the world's most followed individual.

As both edged closer towards an astonishing 44million followers, it was hard to know who was going to hit the mark first… but Kim was victorious and now Beyoncé trails by just 100,000 (a drop in the ocean by their standards). 

Although, the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star's could have a lot to do with how much information she shares with the world: she rarely holds anything back and even posted a naked selfie recently to prove her pregnancy. 

Beyoncé, on the other hand, is quite private as she rarely even posts a caption with her photographs. And a lot of what she does post are professionally taken pictures for glossy magazines.

Kim's sisters Kendall, Kylie and Khloe join her in the top ten, with her mother and older sis Kourtney trailing behind in the top 20. 

Although Kim seems to be taking over the world one social media platform at a time, an inside has told Times Live that Kris Jenner thinks Kylie will outshine Kim soon.

Kris was one of the guests in attendance at Jennifer Lawrence's birthday bash over the weekend and it is said that she spent the night gushing about the youngest of the clan.

The source said: "Kris spent much of the night proudly talking about her daughters and how much people loved them. Kris also went on and on about how Kylie is going to be even more popular and famous than Kim, as she's already much more famous at 18 than Kim was.''

And another source told HollywoodLife.com: ''All her life, Kylie's been groomed for stardom and Kris knows it. She thinks Kylie's relationship with Tyga could quite possibly pull in more viewers and be bigger than Kim and Kanye's wedding.

''If that were to happen, Kris would flirt with the idea of having Kylie and Tyga do their own show, if they're willing.''
