Great news festival goers! Electric Picnic have shared the good news that this year they are going to have an on-site launderette in the Jimi Hendrix campsite for all campers to avail of. 

Love that white drop you wore on Friday that goes with everything but now it's covered in muc and spilled drink? Well worry no more!

You can now head to the Surf Laundry Club and have them looking as good as new for another wear. 

The launderette will be open for the entire weekend and is free of charge and is all thanks to Surf who want to keep all the picnic-ers squeaky clean. 

The even better news is, while your clothes are being cleared of an array of unknown substances, you can have a bop top the Surf DJs while wearing one of the jumpsuits provided. 

Electric Picnic is taking place in Stradbally from the 4th to the 6th of September which huge headline acts including Florence And The Machine, Sam Smith and Blur.

As it turns out, it might not be that hard to look like a Victoria's Secret Angel.

Well… kind of.

Yes, we might not all be blessed with supermodel good looks, but we can certainly copy their beauty routine. 

South African Angel, Candice Swanepol, shared her beauty secrets with the world in her latest Vogue interview. 

In it, she revealed her top tips for achieving fresh-looking, blemish-free skin – and it's not actually all that hard. 

Indeed, Candice said that she relies on natural products to ensure she's always catwalk-ready.

"Because I wear a lot of make-up for work it's really important to keep my skin clean after work so I use a great natural face wash, tea tree oil and green tea".

"I use organic coconut oil to take my make-up off, I also add it to my smoothies to keep my skin glowing.

"It's a great all round natural beauty product."

Great for us so, as Vita Coco has just released their all-new coconut oil. We're half way there with you now, Candice!

She also revealed that she NEVER sleeps with her make up on (well, duh) to ensure her face is flawless. 

Having being scouted by a model agency when she was just a teenager, Candice has since walked the runway for big names such as Donna Karan and Michael Kors. She also fronted major campaigns for the likes of Nike. 

So it is no wonder that along the way she has picked up a wealth of insider beauty knowledge. As Max Factor's latest celebrity ambassador, the supermodel will be working with the world-renowned make up artist, Pat McGrath. 

"Pat McGrath taught me all about contouring, which is really big right now," she said. 

And if you want to get a body like Candice too, she thanks yoga, boxing and Pilates. 

We think we might just start using our coconut oil and yoga mats out now… supermodel beauty, here we come!

It's a fact of life that people change when they age – some for the better, and some definitely for the worse.

We looked back at these stars to see how different they look from just a few short years ago. Get ready to be SHOCKED…

 

Calvin Harris

How can someone go from being so nerdy to being SO hot. Taylor is one lucky lady. 

 

George Clooney

Eyebrows! He was a bit of a geek back in the day but George has aged well. He even won sexiest man alive in 1997 AND 2006. 

 

Nicole Kidman

That HAIR! She had some seriously fluffy gruaig in her teenage years but we think Nicole has aged beautifully. 

 

Alec Baldwin

He actually used to be quite hot. What happened, Alec??

 

Pierce Brosnan

He sported a nasty 'tash in his younger days – but we'll let it go because the Navan-man is still our favourite James Bond. 

 

Oprah Winfrey

The weight-loss majorly changed Queen Oprah and we think she is definitely looking better these days.

 

Miley Cyrus

Miley has gone a bit cray-cray over the past few years trying to rub off the Hannah Montana image. She most certainly succeeded too!

 

Lana Del Rey

Woah. We didn't expect this one. From bleach blonde hair to gorgeous red locks, Lana has definitely changed for the better.

 

Kelly Osbourne

The rock 'n' roll wild child has dramatically changed over the years – going from black hair and questionable make up to a fab purple 'do and clothes to-die-for.

Rita Ora has stepped out with the most AMAZING rainbow hair, and we love it!

The former Voice UK judge posted a selfie to her Instagram account, showcasing her new do just days after posting a picture with pink locks. 

The singer has recently released a song, Body On Me, with Chris Brown and she was out and about doing a bit of promo for the single when she revealed her latest hair colour. 

The 24-year-old goes from blonde to brown and from long to short quicker than we can keep up, but it seems she can pull off just about anything at this stage! 

Her recent colourful looks are very Kylie Jenner of her, with her latest style showing pink hair that fades into purple ombré.

Rita was spotted wearing a metallic silver backless topped paired with boyfriend jeans while promoting her video with Chris which has gained a lot of popularity for being extremely racey. 

The singers one year relationship to Ricky Hill came to an end in June and it seems she may just be getting over him by getting cosy beside Wiz Khalifa. 

The pair were seen out together two nights in a row earlier this week.

Is it just us, or is Christmas actually getting earlier every year? Well, if Brown Thomas in Dublin, Cork and Limerick is anything to go by… the festive season is already here.

Yes, a full four months before the man with the bag arrives in Ireland, the famed department store has kicked off a spot of Yuletide joy. 

For 2015 the Christmas Market is, according to Brown Thomas, "filled with Christmas trees and trim, seasonal decorations and festive food". 

"We’ve actually been working on this year's Christmas Market since Christmas last year," BTs also said in a statement today.

And they reckon that they need to launch the market at this time of year to satisfy "customer demand".

"Plenty of shoppers are keen to get organised early," it maintains. "Generally we find that there’s a great response from customers to opening in August especially tourists who are eager to buy pieces they can’t get at home."

The themes for this year’s Christmas Market at Brown Thomas include Ice Palace, Venetian Winter, I Love Candy, and Santa’s Journey.

Ho, ho, ho? Or just bah, humbug?

The sisters are certainly marking the end of the summer in style with a luxurious trip to the Caribbean.

And while their elder sibling Kim has traditionally boasted the world's most famous derriere, it's clear that Mrs West, 34, now has a couple of contenders for her crown lurking in the wings.

Paragliding over the turquoise seas surrounding the French-speaking island of St Barts, 18-year-old Kylie Jenner showed off plenty of booty – but even that was nothing in comparison to Khloe Kardashian, 31, whose ass-ets were on full display. 

On the boat below were sisters Kourtney Kardashian and Kendall Jenner, as well as their young nephew, Mason Disick, five.

All this week, catwalk model Kendall, 19, has been particularly active on social media, sharing several incredible, envy-inducing snaps of the Kardashian-Jenner family trip. 

In shots from yesterday, Khloe can be seen in striking red swimwear, while Kendall also had opted for a one-piece – this time in black. 

Khloe rightly seems incredibly body confident during the beach break.

Indeed, she revealed earlier this month that since splitting from husband Lamar Odom in December 2013, she has shed an impressive 35lbs through better diet and a seriously dedicated gym schedule.

It has also been rumoured that Ms Kardashian's family are concerned for her safety in light on Mr Odom's rants about their relationship – and an apparent ambush outside her Beverly Hills gym last week. 

Khloe has been dating another professional basketball player – James Harden – for the last few months.

The Keeping Up With The Karadashians crew has been by the family's side for the entirety of their Caribbean trip – although a five-months pregnant Kim and momager Kris, 59, did not take part in the water-sports on offer this week.

We really didn't expect this, but it turns out that the way you put your bra on says a lot more about you than you think. 

There's no right or wrong way to put on a bra, but everyone has their own little way they have gotten used to and think is the most convenient. 

So just stop for a second and think.. How do you put your bra on?

According to Patti Wood, a body language and human behaviour expert, the way we choose to put on our bra says a lot about us. 

She says: "There are four distinct personality type – drivers, influencers, supporters and careful correctors – who tent to have very unique ways of doing things, even small tasks."

"Everything you do – and the way you do it – comes together to form a story about yourself, and there's no reason your undergarments shouldn't be a part of that."

You use a back-clasp bra, and clasp it in the back

You're a supporter. This means you are traditional and you do things the straight forward way. 

You clasp your bra at the front then rotate it to the back

You're an influencer. You like to look the part and feel sexy and you gravitate towards more fancy underwear. 

You use a front clasping bra

You're a driver. You are efficient and have no time to mess around with trying to reach the clasp at the back, you want to get things done the easy way.

You clasp your bra then slide it over your head

You're a carful corrector. You want to make sure things are done right so you clasp the bra and make sure it's done properly before putting it on.

We were given a SERIOUS blast from the past earlier today when we realised that none other than Shaggy is in town.

Yes, it appears that the Jamaican-American reggae super-star is in Galway – kicking back with his daughter and enjoying pints of Guinness at Moran’s of the Weir in Kilcolgan. 

The It Wasn't Me singer was on stage in Toronto as recently as the weekend, but he seems to have already brushed-off any jet-lag and has settled into the city of the tribes nicely.

Yesterday, the 46-year-old was snuggled up in his hotel suite with his adorable daughter, watching movies and ordering room service. 

It doesn't seem that Shaggy is performing in the locale any time soon, so we're assuming that this trip is strictly pleasure. 

 

Flew into NY this morning in now on a flt.to Ireland…. Need a Guinness! #familyTime

A photo posted by Shaggy Aka Mr Boombastic O.D (@direalshaggy) on

Indeed, upon flying into New York before connecting to Ireland, he marked one Instagram snap with the hashtag #familytime, adding: "Need a Guinness!"​

Last year, the musician had another major hit with I Need Your Love. His Out Of Many, One Music album also received a Grammy nomination earlier this year.

It's official, Daniel O' Donnell has been announced to take part in the next series of Strictly Come Dancing.

The Irish musician has just been brought back to the public's attention with a performance on the Rose of Tralee which sparked somewhat of a debate on live radio when the presenter suggested that Daniel may not have been singing in tune.

But Daniel has distracted from all that fuss today with his big announcement that he will be one of the contestants on Strictly Come Dancing. 

The singer was speaking on Steve Wright In The Afternoon on BBC Radio 2 earlier today when he said: 

"Earlier this year, I decided to take a short break from touring and told myself that I would only consider doing something if it was both different and exciting."

"Well, what could be more exciting than Strictly Come Dancing? I love to dance and boy am I looking forward to getting started and being the best that I can be!"

We think the other celebs probably have quite a bit of competition on their hands as Daniel is no stranger to success.

He has sold 15 million albums in his career since shooting to fame in 1983 so it's fair to say he has the public's backing. 

Daniel is the eighth celebrity so far confirmed for the dancing contest, alongside Peter Andre who was announced yesterday and Ready Steady Cook presenter Ainsley Harriott.

Although his best friend is going through a rather tough divorce, Matt Damon is quickly approaching his 10th wedding anniversary.  

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight Matt speaks about his best pal Ben Affleck, saying that although he wasn't with his to celebrate his 43rd birthday, the actor is doing well. 

"I think he was actually in Atlanta with his family. So we missed each other but…he’s good. He’s good."

Matt also speaks about marriage as gears up to celebrate his wedding anniversary, although he does admit that "Marriage is insane!"

He has been married to Luciana for ten years this December and he says that "It's a crazy idea but I love being married to my wife."

He does however realise how things to work out for some married couples and says he would never even being to offer any advice to someone else about their relationship. 

The only secret to staying together for over a decade that he was willing to share was that the secret is so feel lucky. "I'm lucky I found my wife. And I guess maybe, if there's any secret… It's to feel lucky." 

"So much of it is out of your hands," Damon said. "I mean, I just had that conversation with my father this weekend. He says the same thing to me. Says it's God's grace, is what he said. Because you just don't get lucky."

The actor is currently filming Martian, a movie which follows an astronaut who was left behind on a mission to mars which is set to be released in October of this year.

This role, like many of his previous movies, requires him to stay in serious physical shape and during the interview he was asked about how he stays healthy. He also has the fifth instalment of the Bourne franchise which means that he may not have time for a beer and a burger any time soon. 

"I always look for an excuse to hang out and have a beer and a burger," he joked. "But no, right now, I have to be in shape, just until February, and then I'm going off the rails."

He was controversially denied the coveted Star Baker title – despite constructing an INCREDIBLE lion entirely from bread.

However, Great British Bake Off's Paul Jagger, 49, has at least achieved another great honour: he's sparked waves of online memes and tributes which affectionately nod to his delicious show-stopper. 

The prison worker's feline was created using a white bread head, a wholemeal tail, and a body filled with figs and walnuts.

Even the notoriously grumpy Paul Hollywood couldn't help but be blown away: the judge declared the lion to be "one of the best things I've seen in bread – ever!"

Mr Jagger was subsequently given a "special commendation," – with GBBO presenter Sue Perkins explaining that the honour was being bestowed because Mr Hollywood "has never ever in his life seen a bread sculpture as magnificent as that one".

Still, Paul was ultimately pipped to the Star Baker post by rival Ian Cumming – a decision which caused countless viewers to take to the likes of Twitter to vent their frustration. 

With a full six days to go until next week's episode, and in order to pay our respects to Paul's magnificent lion, SHEmazing! has decided to round up the very best online responses to the great Great British Bake Off lion…

You might have seen a few interesting looking belts floating around social media of late. Supposedly responsible for helping countless celebs attain hour glasses figures, waist trainers are popping up everywhere.

They remind us of corsets, to be honest, and apparently we are not the only ones because Twitter users are furious with one particular ad for the Miss Belt.

The video has definitely got a few interesting moments in there. It claims that the Miss Belt can give you the “ideal shape in just two steps!”

The before and after shots are certainly shocking, but people are also very annoyed with the how the ad addresses the ‘post-baby bodies’.

The claim that it will help you “hide” your body after you have given birth is not going down well, at all.

There are two colour choices for people to choose from, “stylish black” or “nude”. The ad is also claiming that no one will notice you’re wearing your waist trainer except for the men in your life.

Naturally, people were angry with the ad:

 

Some people were also just confused:

 

Basically, there was a lot of this:
