The last time Kanye West released an album was 2013, and his fans are just not willing to wait any longer to hear the star’s latest work.

Over the last year the father of one has kept his listeners pining for some new songs by teasing them with two singles Only One and Four Five Seconds.

Yeezus was a huge success that shot to the number one spot around the world after its release.

Naturally, his fans are very excited for Kanye’s next musical venture. So much so that one fan started a White House petition which demanded Barack Obama force his album to be released early.

In a short space of time the petition had managed to gather together tens of thousands of signatures.

The petition for the new album, Swish, read:

"Kanye West has kept us thirsty for too long. We haven’t gotten any new singles in months.

The President should order Ye to drop the album on the date August, 21st as his producer Mike Dean has been teasing people about."

Unfortunately for Kanye super fans, the petition was taken down after it was found to be violating the terms of participation.

If it had managed to reach the coveted 100,000 signatures necessary to be brought before Obama and his administration, we can only imagine what Kanye would have to say about it.

Maybe he would appreciate the chance to get to chat with Barack about his latest issue.

Reportedly Kanye wants a no-flying zone to be applied to the area surrounding his house. Apparently he wants his Hidden Hills property to become a no-fly zone in order to protect wife Kim and daughter North’s privacy.

It was announced today that Madonna is collaborating with Moschino's designer and creative director, Jeremy Scott for her forthcoming Rebel Heart tour.  

It is not the first time the dynamic duo have teamed up: Madonna wore one of his designs to the Costume Institute Gala earlier this year. Jeremy also kitted out the singer and her entourage for her latest single Bitch, I'm Madonna. 

We just hope Jeremy puts no capes in his creations for her tour! 

Moschino, the Italian luxury fashion house is renowned for its over-the-top and outlandish designs, with Jeremy designing costumes for many of Hollywood's elite. He famously made the costumes for Katy Perry's Super Bowl half-time show earlier this year and he has also worked closely with Miley Cyrus. 

It's a big year for Mr Scott though, as he has a movie coming out about his life and rise in the fashion industry. Due to be released this September, it will feature appearances from Jared Leto, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, Rita Ora and Paris Hilton.

She made a name for herself as one-fifth of mega-selling The Saturdays – and became a celeb couple stable when she married her rugby player beau, Ben, 30, three years ago.

But despite being based across the water for the best part of decade, Una Foden admits that she still pines for her native Tipperary.

"I love coming home to my family and all that," she reveals. "It's always going to be 'home home' to me.”

As for setting up a more permanent base in Ireland, the singer hints: “You never know… maybe if I can convince Ben to play for Munster!”

Of course, Una has been taking some well-deserved down-time since giving birth to her second child, a son they named Tadhg, back in February.

But in conversation with SHEmazing! she reveals that she’s nearly ready to get back to the grindstone.

Indeed, the 33-year-old musician has just signed up for another series of The Voice Of Ireland. And after mentoring last season's winner, Patrick Donoghue, she understandably can't wait to return.

"I've just signed my contract actually," she tells us at the launch of RTÉ's autumn schedule in Dublin's Smock Alley Theatre.

So will Rachel Stevens, Kian Egan and Bressie all be back in the famous red chairs this year too? “I can't say anything, but I'd love it to be the same three again,” she explains.

With the family-of-four just recently moving into a swish new abode in Northampton, Una will be commuting on a regular basis between there and Dublin once filming kicks off in October.

Now juggling the demands of her toddler daughter, Aoife Belle, as well as baby Tadhg, Una is nevertheless looking as slim as ever in a grey and black floral minidress by Victoria Beckham. In fact, you'd never guess that Una has given birth just six months ago.

"I stayed fit and healthy during my pregnancy," she reveals. "So I had about a stone to lose after. But I didn't put any pressure on myself.

"Even on The Voice, I worked with the stylist during my pregnancy and I just wore clothes a size bigger so I'd be comfortable."

She mightn't put the pressure on in terms of body image, but when it comes to mentoring her acts on The Voice, Ms Foden definitely pushes herself as hard as she can. "I'll be competitive from the word 'go,'" she laughs.

The singer and her fellow coach Kian Egan were notorious for their bickering on the last series of the hit show, and although the pair are pals off air, Una says the arguments were never fake.

"They were very much genuine on the night!" she explains. "But we do get on really."

 

Back in the studio writing today

As for Una's own singing career, while The Saturdays are still on extended hiatus we could finally get to hear some solo work in 2016: "I've been taking time out but I have written a lot and I do hope to start next year," she reports.

Two kids, a solo career, a TV talent show AND a plan to bring Ben and the Munster team together? Sounds like the next 12 months will be very busy for Una.

That awkward moment when you forget to plug your headphones in is not fun for anyone.

It can be even worse when you’re in class.

Which was exactly what one University of Sydney student learned when his classmates caught him watching something very NSFW in a lecture.

While their professor was busy working his way through some PowerPoint slides, some very erotic sounds start filling the crowded lecture hall.

The student seemed to be completely unaware that the rest of the room could hear the audio accompanying the pornographic video he was watching.

However, when he does realise he’s been caught out it gets worse before it gets better.

After making several frantic attempts to turn the laptop off, which fail miserably, the student who has remained nameless, quickly grabs his stuff and bolts out the door. His classmates very nearly give him a standing ovation.

Smooth.

Apparently though, the whole ordeal was a stunt designed to fool his fellow students. We weren’t so convinced either.

But it turns out that the clip is from a collection put together by Aussie student Jamie Zhu as part of his ‘Awkward Uni Situations’ video.

It's a VERY good day for Katy Perry! 

So much so in fact that she let us all in on a secret: namely that she will front the new edition of Harper's Bazaar.

Landing pretty much one of the best covers in the biz, she was evidently oh-so excited to share it with her 28million followers… she put the snap up on her Instagram page.

The Roar singer shared the snap along with the comment: "PEEK-A-BOO! The Icons issue shot by the LEGENDARY Jean-Paul Goude! So rad to be able to share this issue with some of my favs & inspirationals like @Oprah &@gweelos. Grab one to see the incredible transformations! Dress by Saint Laurent by Hedi Slimane".

Yup, suffice to say the edition is kinda is a big deal. Katy was selected as one of Carine Roitfeld's 2015 icons alongside the likes of Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Mariah Carey, Dakota Johnson, and Oprah Winfrey. #Sweet #squadgoals.

On the cover Ms Perry sports a sultry Saint Laurent dress by Hedi Slimane along with a simple Cartier bracelet. What the net fan on top of the dress is for, we don't quite know, but the 30-year-old singer sure pulls it off. 

We can't wait to get the issue now!

It's notoriously a time to really let your hair down surrounded by your closest friends: yes, hen and stag weekends have something of a reputation for debauchery and drunken antics. 

But Ronan Keating and Storm Uechtritz are definitely maintaining low-key celebrations in advance of their Monday nuptials in Scotland.

In fact, it is the former Boyzone singer's teenage children who have been tasked with organising the events. 

For Storm, that means getting the Eurostar from London to Paris with a dozen friends and family of varying ages. The group, who donned pink Storm's hen lanyards, were this morning all gifted with chic monogrammed Burberry scarves.

They also brought on board with them champagne or lemonade and brunch in wicker baskets from London's famed and oh-so posh Fortnum & Mason. 

In one Instagram snap, the bride-to-be was eager to thank her stepdaughter-in-waiting, Missy Keating, 14, for organising the particulars. Also visible in the same image is younger sis Ali Keating, nine.

Meanwhile, back in Ireland, Ronan's own bash was underway with thanks to Jack, his 16-year-old son. In an online post, the musician thanked his eldest child – as well as Storm – for pulling together the pre-wedding celebrations.

The accompanying snap also showed lines of brightly-coloured cooler pouches, each with a sticker naming the reciprocate, as well as a row of white gift bags. "The stage is set," the Dubliner said, playfully adding: "This could get messy."

Ronan, 38, popped the question to his 34-year-old Australian girlfriend of three years in April during a tropical trip to Thailand. "We've been together a few years now and knew we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together.

"I felt it was the right time," he said in a Hello! magazine interview announcing their intention to marry.

Mr Keating also helped design her ring: a stunning oval-shaped diamond set in a diamond-encrusted band.

His divorce to Yvonne Connolly, 41, whom he married in 1999, was finalised earlier this year following their 2011 split. 

Ronan's friend Brian McFadden had previously warned that the stag-do "won't be wild". He added in conversation with the Daily Star: "Ronan's stag do will be all red wine and cigars."

Following their lightning-quick engagement, Ronan and Storm will marry on Monday at the luxurious Archfield House estate and golf club in East Lothian. 

She has also been married once before – to finance chief Tim Iver.

Fans of Disney have countless theories about how each of the films and characters are actually all connected in some way.

One popular theory is one which connects that characters of Disney’s mega-success Frozen with the story of Tarzan.

The idea is that Anna and Elsa’s parents actually never died. Instead when they were shipwrecked, they ended up on an island this is where their mom gave birth to Tarzan.

So, Tarzan is actually Anna and Elsa’s younger brother.

Chris Buck, the director of Frozen has now come out as saying that he believes the theory could actually be true.

In an interview with MTV News, he said that while the connection may not be official, in his mind he considers the characters to all be one big happy family.

Chris explained his own version of the theory on Sunday saying:

“She gave birth on the boat, to a little boy… somehow they really washed way far away from the Scandinavian waters, and they end up in the jungle. They end up building a tree house and a leopard kills them, so their baby boy is raised by gorillas.”

Sounds legit, right?

He went on to say that “whatever people want to believe, go for it.” Fully encouraging fans to continue with their interesting and sometimes bizarre theories he said “that’s the spirit of Disney.”

Excellent news, so we can look forward to the internet producing more of these fantastic observations:

Ah, that explains it:

For the first time since he touched down in Namibia, the 30-year old British royal has been sighted as he works to improve conservation efforts in the country.

He is also sporting a new look, and we’re kind of loving it.

In the 6 weeks since he’s been away the famous redhead, who is fifth-in-line for the throne has started to rock a full beard.

The normally clean shaved Harry seems to have ditched the razor, and no one is complaining about his new style.

In late June, Prince Harry headed off on a three month long trip after completing 10 years of service with the British military.

While in Africa he has been shadowing conservations and veterinarians such as Dr. Pete Morkel as they attempt to deal with the threats against endangered species.

It looks like Harry is certainly not afraid to get up close and personal with some of the animals he’s been working to help protect.

On his recent trip to Khula Care for Wild, a rhino conservation site in South Africa, Harry joined in a round of feeding and met some of the 20 rhinos at the site. Including baby rhino Warren, cute.

Both Harry and his brother William consider wildlife conservation to be a very important cause. Before he took off on his visit, Harry said he thought the opportunity was going to be “amazing”.

The royal is also eager to do his part to change the way locals think about their native wildlife:

"Whether it’s darting a lion or going into a community to see how they are changing the way they are working, and for the local culture to accept that an elephant means more to them money-wise alive than shooting it."

Could it really be true? Will we finally be saying goodbye to the reality TV family that were never afraid of letting us into all aspects of their fabulous and sometimes bizarre lives?

The E! network series Keeping Up With The Kardashians that launched the extended family into the media spotlight is rumoured to be coming to an end.

Reports are suggesting that sisters Kim, Khloe and Kylie are all eager to quit the show. Hollywood Life says that momager Kris Jenner is begging her daughters to stay with the series.

The family have earned millions from KUWTK and the various spin-off shows that documents the private lives of the Hollywood family. Life & Style magazine says that the daughters feel finished with the series and are ready to move on.

"It's not like Kim, Khloe and Kylie don't want to be on television anymore. They just don't want to do Keeping Up With the Kardashians or its spinoffs," a source is rumoured to have said.

"Kris begged them all to stay, even for one more season. But they told her that they all feel the franchise has run its course," the insider added.

Hollywood Life reports that Khloe blames the TV show for ruining her marriage to ex-husband Lamar Odom, while Kylie would much rather be hanging out with friends and boyfriend Tyga than film the series.

The source added: “she’s ready to expand her horizons. She might even go into business with Tyga.”

However, the family did sign a multi-million dollar contract deal with E! in February that ensured the show would remain in the network for four more seasons.

We wonder if the sisters did leave would the show continue without them?

This morning RTE Radio One star Joe Duffy sat down for a chat with presenter Dave Fanning to chat about his new TV series Call Back.

Any Liveline fans are sure to be happy about this news, so you better start preparing yourselves now.

Joe says he’s been “pushing the idea for a few years now” and revealed “the day has come”. The pilot episode for the series has already been produced and the “powers that be” are apparently very impressed.

The idea behind the series is to revisit some of Joe’s most memorable callers from the radio show over the years, and there have certainly been a few.

“Sometimes when an issue is raised, we try and help, but by the time the next Live Line comes around it's moved on to more urgent topics,” the man himself explained when discussing why the format should be on television rather than radio.

The first episode is set to go back for a check-in on the “incredible” day when a woman rang Joe to discuss her elderly neighbour being scammed out of €10,000 by builders which led to a car chase across Dublin as Gardaí pursued the criminals.

“We’re staying with personal stories. Live Line has always been and will always be about the strength of its human stories,” Joe said of the new series.

When asked about how he keeps up to date with some of those stories, he gave a rundown of his morning routine:

“I get up at 6am and go to the gym – with little effect,” he joked. “If I see something in the papers while on the treadmill, I text them the team.”

The veteran broadcaster and his callers have been responsible for some pretty amazing stories over the years, even just recently they managed to help out a young Irish couple in Florida who were robbed.

Comedian Brendan O’Carroll called the show to explain their plight and the couple were soon inundated with offers of places to live as well as job opportunities.

 

We imagine this is going to be one TV series that will have people talking. Six episodes of Call Back are supposedly going to air on RTE in the run up to Christmas this year.

It's the shocking incident that everyone is talking about: Lamar Odom seemingly ambushed Khloe Kardashian in a carpark as she made her way into a Beverly Hills gym for a morning class.

And while it was previously thought that the pair remained on remarkably good terms following their December 2013 split, it seems all is not well.

Now Lamar is hitting back, claiming that the 6.45am meeting was in fact organised in advance. He's furthermore FURIOUS that his estranged wife won't defend him publicly, and he denies absolutely stalking her, assaulting her, or touching her yesterday morning.

"I am not, not, NOT the person that they are trying to make me out to be," he says in a remarkably candid video interview obtained by TMZ. 

Visibly agitated, he admits: "It's hard for me to keep my composure," adding that he now has to "fight back". 

The 35-year-old then seems to issue a threat: "If it happens again I'm going to air EVERYTHING out."

He goes on to emphatically state: "Nobody got followed, no one got hassled, no one got harassed, no one got grabbed on."

The basketball player also says that his reputation as a drug-user and womaniser is unfair, and as that he "doesn't put himself out there" on Twitter and Instagram (unlike the famous family he married into) – the constant attention he endures is unwarranted.

"Me and that girl [Khloe] fell in love," he says sadly. "That's our business."

You can watch the incredible video interview in full here.

Meanwhile, it is also being reported today that Lamar is consumed by jealousy and can't stand that his 31-year-old wife has finally moved on – with another pro basketball player no less.

She and 6ft 5in James Harden, 25, have been spotted together all summer, and it is thought that her family are over the moon with the happy union.

A Kardashian family source told PEOPLE: "Lamar has been trying to contact Khloe, but she is done and has ignored him. Lamar has issues with Khloe dating Harden." 

"It made Khloe first shocked and then scared that Lamar was waiting outside the studio," the source added. "She doesn't know how he found her. She is thinking about getting a bodyguard." 

In particular, her older sister appears concerned: "Kim is encouraging her to get a bodyguard. She told Khloe that his behaviour is inappropriate, and she needs to nip it in the bud before it escalates.

"Khloe is in full agreement, and they're going to start looking into private security right away."
