Emergency services were called to the scene yesterday when Steve-O from Jackass scaled a huge crane to protest against Seaworld. 

There were serious concerns for his safety when he climbed 30metres up the massive structure in California. At the time, he was carrying an inflatable killer whale called Shammy – a reference to the park's most famous attraction, Shamu. 

He was arrested for trespassing – though fans have already begun a GoFundMe page to raise cash for his bail. 

In advance, Steve-O had posted to Facebook saying: "This is Shammy.

"We're going to do a big dangerous stunt in Los Angeles tomorrow that will probably get me in a lot of trouble, and you can watch it happen via a live stream, right here on Facebook, starting at exactly 7pm PST. See you then."

Let's do this live.

Posted by Steve-O on Sunday, 9 August 2015

 

Seaworld has come under a lot of criticism in recent years with plenty of people alleging that its whales and other mammals are not kept in the best of care. As a result, it seems that visitor numbers and profits are falling.

Steve-O later posted another photo saying: "Did I mention that I'm really high in the air? Hearing sirens now. Check the video I posted at 7pm to see what I'm doing. I'll stream live again soon for the stunts."

Incredibly, in order to maximise publicity for the stunt, he furthermore let off fireworks at the top of the crane. 

Indeed, in his final video of the evening he acknowledged: "We definitely have their attention," as he looked underneath him and saw loads of police cars pulling up on the road below. 

And at the end of his final video he said: "Alright! Can I zoom in this f***ing Facebook… That is a lot, A LOT, of f***ing fire trucks. I mean come on!"

Some time later he posted on Facebook saying "Anyone wanna bail me out of jail?"

Last year, the actor and stuntman was slapped with a €220 fine after changing a motorway sign in San Diego to read: "SeaWorld Sucks".

We've been wondering what her boyfriend of a year would give her for her 18th birthday. She is, after all, the girl who probably has pretty much everything.

But last night, Tyga really pulled out all the stops – gifting Kylie Jenner with a white Ferrari worth a cool €300,000.

The reality TV star, who recently bought her own €2.5m home in the swish Calabasas area of Los Angeles, understandably seemed overjoyed with the gift.

Being prompted to go outside the Bootsy Bellows nightclub, where celebrations where taking place with her friends and family, Kylie seemed in total shock when the vehicle, a 482 Italia model, emerged – all tied up in a giant red ribbon too. 

Ms Jenner, who wore a long, blonde wig for the occasion, also swapped outfits during the evening: she first turned heads in a silver minidress before switching into an LBD. 

Her mum, Kris, furthermore her manager and the mastermind behind the Kardashian-Jenner mega-successes, appeared to be equally joyous when the car arrived out in front of the venue – grinning and laughing wildly. 

With the expensive gift, Tyga, 25, has seemingly put his financial woes behind him. Less than two weeks ago it was reported that he was €45,000 behind on his rent – and that his frustrated landlord was therefore seeking an eviction order. 

He was also sued by a woman who appeared in his videos (she claimed she did not consent to appearing topless) and earlier this year a court ordered him to cough up almost €75,000 in back rent to another landlord.  

Although his fourth album, The Gold Album: 18th Dynasty, which was released in June, was widely panned by critics. Indeed, it managed to shift just a few thousand copies in its opening week. 

Meanwhile, millionaire Kylie has a load of birthday celebrations lined up – most notably a massive bash being held this weekend in Canada.

Oz has found love… but it's not with Heather!

It was wedding bells for American Pie star Chris Klein this weekend as he married his sweetheart Laina Rose Thyfault.

The couple, who have been together for almost four years, tied the knot yesterday at an intimate ceremony in Montana. Chris and Laina said their "I do"s in front of 115 guests at Montana's Rainbow Ranch on the banks of the Gallatin River, his rep confirmed to Us Weekly today.

The luxury rustic-style hotel is located in the heart of the Rocky Mountains and has just twenty-one rooms, so it made the perfect spot for a low-key wedding.

Chris popped the question last Christmas after three years of dating, with a source at the time correctly predicting Chris and Laina would get married in summer 2015. "Neither one is interested in a long engagement," the insider, a pal of Chris', said at the time.

Although this is Chris' first marriage, he was engaged to Kate Holmes back in 2003 before splitting from her two years later. Just weeks after the break-up went public, Katie began dating Tom Cruise, though Chris says it wasn't as quick a transition as it was made out to be in the media.

"When we were breaking up, we kept it to ourselves for a while. It looked like it was Katie and Chris together and two seconds later Katie and Tom together, but that's ridiculously compressed… Katie was incredibly respectful about the decision she was making to move on," he said previously.

We're glad to see he has found happiness again!

She has one of the most coveted figures in Hollywood – and Sarah Hyland has now shared some insight into just how hard she works to get that killer body.

The actress, who over the weekend also shared a serious #bodygoals gym snap in which she dons a tiny monochrome crop top, has revealed that when it comes to exercise, she LOVES to mix it up.

The 24-year-old New Yorker, who is currently embarking on a more intense training schedule, took to Instagram last night. In the resulting snap, shared with her 2.2million followers, Sarah dons a tiny grey and neon crop-top and navy Yoga pants. 

She is suspended from the ceiling – evidently taking part in a challenging aerial silks workout. 

"Stepping out of my box and trying new fun things for myself!" she captioned the photograph, adding lightheartedly: "Gonna join the circus."

Also known as antigravity yoga, the exercise involves a mixture of the likes of yoga, ballet and Pilates – all carried out on silk hammocks. Advocates say it strengthens, lengthens and tones your physique fast.

However, in the March issue of Cosmopolitian, Ms Hyland furthermore admitted that she's a big fan of fast food. The Modern Family star even said she "would eat Taco Bell every day!" if she thought she could get away with it.

She is currently dating Dominic Sherwood, 25, an actor and model, and the pair regularly go hiking, biking and walking together around Los Angeles.

Meet Kiran Gandhi. She's a Harvard Business graduate, a drummer for M.I.A. and a socially aware marathon runner. 

Recently Kiran completed the London Marathon, and her experience has gone viral over the last 48 hours. When her period arrived unexpectedly the night before the race, Kiran had to make the choice between wearing a tampon or pad for 42km or going without.

She chose the latter, and decided to use her decision to make a public statement about stigmas and sexism.

"I got my flow the night before and it was a total disaster but I didn’t want to clean it up. It would have been way too uncomfortable to worry about a tampon [for the race]," Kiran wrote on her personal blog. "I thought, if there’s one person society won’t f*ck with, it’s a marathon runner."

Dressed in pink and having raised $6,000 (€5,480) along with two friends for Breast Cancer Care, Kiran finished the 42km course in 4 hours and 49 minutes with her period blood flowing free. Although the marathon took place back in April, a recent article by Cosmopolitan brought Kiran's unorthodox decision into the public eye.

The reaction so far on Twitter has been mixed:

Speaking about her choice, Kiran said it definitely wasn't planned but that she felt it was the right move at the time. "They tell you that for men, their nipples will bleed because of the chafing between their shirts and their skin [while running long distance]. I worried that a tampon might have the same effect," she explained. 

"Granted, that might have been ignorant because people run completely fine, but 26 miles is different than just, like, three or four."

But once she started bleeding, Kiran said she was too excited about how the race was going to even care. "Once I started bleeding, I felt kind of like, Yeah! Fuck you! I felt very empowered by that. I did," she admits.

Ok so it's official, Jennifer Lawrence is our favourite celebrity ever!

The actress showed off her generous and caring side when she made a visit to a children's hospital to meet with the kids and take pictures with fans. 

Jennifer took some time out of her busy schedule of filming X-men: Apocalypse to visit Montreal's Shriners Hospital for Children a few days ago. 

A very special visitor came by to see some of our patients. Jennifer Lawrence is in town filming and spent some time with our #ShrinersCanada kids today. #JenniferLawrence

Posted by Shriners Hospitals for Children Canada on Friday, August 7, 2015

She spent time with children in need where she brought some smiles to kids faces when she surprised them all. 

"A very special visitor stopped by our Canada hospital today," The hospital shared on Facebook. "Jennifer Lawrence is in Montreal filming a new movie and she made time to visit some of our #ShrinersCanada kids and staff. Everyone had a great time!"

They added: "You never know who might visit Shriners Canada."

Jennifer took the time to get a picture with several of the patients in the hospital and even signed a few casts! 

The actress looked great as she went make-up free in extremely casual attire wearing a grey t-shirt teamed with white jeans and her hair in a messy bun.

As ladies we definitely get our fair share of embarrassing moments (unexpected period anyone?) but at least we'll never find ourselves caught out like poor Henry Cavill.

In the new issue of Men's Fitness, the Man Of Steel star dishes out some never-heard-before anecdotes including a very cringeworthy one from a few years back. Henry admitted that he was filming a sex scene for The Tudors when he got a little TOO excited and ended up having to apologise to his co-star for getting an erection.

"It’s only happened to me once, and it was very embarrassing,” the actor tells the magazine. "A girl had to be on top of me, she had spectacular breasts, and I hadn’t rearranged my – stuff into a harmless position. She’s basically rubbing herself all over me and, um, it got a bit hard."

Talk about inappropriate. "I had to apologise profusely afterward," Henry admits. "It's not great when you're in a professional acting environment and somebody gets a boner, is it? No, not acceptable."

Despite that unfortunate incident, the actor says that for the most part he finds sex scenes decidedly un-sexy, and doesn't enjoy them. "You don't think of sex scenes as showing your bum to the nation," he explains.

"It's actually acutely uncomfortable being naked in a roomful of people. The very last thing it is is sexy. The actual physicality is very uncomfortable. All you're doing is smacking your nuts against someone, and nothing is going in."

If you haven't been put off by those charming quotes, you might be pleased to hear that Henry is also on the lookout for a serious lady. "American dating is like carpet bombing," he complains.

"You date 16 women all at once and eventually one of them is supposed to pop out of the crowd? I'm 32 years old. I do want to find a wife and raise a family. I prefer the British way: get talking and see what happens, one at a time."

Following a fued with Nicki's boyfriend Meek Mill and Drake, it seems the singer is steering the attention away as she may have just announced her pregnancy. 

At her concert in Chicago, Nicki brought boyfriend Meek on stage but when she introduced him saying 'Introducing my baby father', the crowd went wild. 

32-year-old Nicki began dating Meek in December of last year and they sparked engagement rumours a few months back when she posted a photo to Instagram wearing a huge ring, but Meek later denied the rumours. 

The pregnancy rumours have yet to be confirmed by either of the rappers but fans are hopeful that the news is true. 

Nicki posted a video to Instagram thanking her fans for attending her Chicago concert which saw a 22 thousand strong crowd come to see her perform.

In the clip she said "Chicago I love you and I'll never forget you, you guys made me so happy and I can't thank you enough. Don't tell anybody what I did to Meek on stage, ok!" 

Earlier this summer, Meek told a radio interviewer "Nicki ain't pregnant, but I wish". Nicki then took to Twitter to say: ""No matter wut he, or anyone else says, Onika Tanya Maraj won't be pushing anyone1 out her vajayjay, until she's married. Now check that. "

Miley Cyrus has become the latest celebrity to pick a fight with international super star Taylor Swift.

Miley is criticised a lot for her videos which some people call inappropriate, including Wrecking Ball, but now she is wondering why other videos don't get the same criticism. 

The 22-year-old stars on the cover of Marie Claire magazine this month and she explains how she can't get her head around the violence in Taylor Swift's video for Bad Blood. 

 

@marieclairemag covvvvaaaaa! Talkin bout @happyhippiefdn

A photo posted by Miley Cyrus (@mileycyrus) on

The video sees Taylor plotting revenge on a former friend and Miley who has a very laid back attitude when it comes to drugs and nudity, can't see how her content is deemed unsuitable when this violence isn't. 

"That's supposed to be a good example?" Miley said about the video. "And I'm a bad role model because I'm running around with my titties out? I'm not sure how titties are worse than guns."

Miley also complained about the double standards in the music industry that she has to deal with everyday, especially when it comes to gender. 

 

Peep my @marieclairemag story!

There is so much sexism, ageism, you name it" she said. "Kendrick Lamar sings about LSD and he's cool. I do it and I'm a druggie whore."

“There’s nothing left to catch me doing,” she told the magazine. “You want to hack my e-mail so you can find my nude pictures? I’ll just f***ing put them up.”

Kylie Jenner has been experimenting with new hair colours of late and we are LOVING the results so far.

On Friday the reality star took to Snapchat to show off her new "bronde" locks, and now she's gone with an even lighter platinum blonde in honour of her 18th birthday, which falls today.

Kylie's older sister Kim gave us a first look at the dramatic new style this morning when she posted a picture of the pair pouting for the camera. "Bad bitch contest you're in 1st place," she wrote.

The birthday girl herself also posted a picture of her bleached blonde 'do, sharing a group shot from the second of many 18th birthday celebrations taking place for her this week. "MY GIRLS. party night. #18@12," she wrote from California, which is eight hours behind Ireland.

Among the friends and family in the picture are Caitlyn and Kendall Jenner, both of whom also headed for a family dinner on Saturday to celebrate Kylie's big day.

The Kardashian-Jenner clan joined forces over the weekend in honour of their youngest sibling, heading out for a meal in Nobu in Los Angeles.

Both of Kylie's parents were there, making it the first public meeting between Kris and Caitlyn. The former couple even posed for a selfie together in the ultimate show of unity:

Kylie's birthday might be today but the celebrations won't end just yet, as the newly legal star has planned a blow-out Canadian bash at Montreal Beach Club next Sunday night, where she can legally drink at 18.
