Kim Kardashian is well known for sharing photos that don't leave much to the imagination, and yesterday was no exception.

The 34-year-old posted a picture of her cleavage to celebrate the fact that she has reached 42 million followers on Instagram and didn't make much of an attempt to include her face in the snap. 

Kim has shared many pictures in the past which showed off her curves and has on more than one occasion broken the Internet.

Recently, Kim's daring photographs have included a full pvc outfit post on Saturday night with sister Kourtney for the celebrations of her youngest sister Kylie's 18th birthday which falls today.

Kylie's official party doesn't take place until Friday night and we can't wait to see what she will be wearing for that. 

Pregnant Kim is no stranger to posting pictures of her boobs as she once shared a very racey photo of herself covered entirely in silver paint on Instagram.

Reaching 42 million followers keeps Kim in third place in the most followed people on Instagram behind Beyonce at 42.6 million and Instagram have 90.7 million. 

This landmark is just 165 days after Kim hit 27 million followers as she has been gaining a new follower every three seconds since posting a picture of her world famous bum in February.

 

27 mil!!!!! Thank you so much!!!! I love you all!!!!!

Briana Jungwirth may only be a few months along, but her baby bump is already beginning to show.

The LA-based stylist, who is expecting a child with One Direction's Louis Tomlinson at the beginning of next year, was pictured running errands in the small town of Oxnard, California over the weekend. Dressed casually and comfortably in a white t-shirt, black yoga pants and black leather sandals, Briana looked every bit the relaxed mum.

Briana was joined by her own mum Tammi Clarke (pictured left below) as she headed into her local passport office to collect some forms.

Given that Louis is still in the middle of his One Direction World Tour and will be for some months yet, Briana must be planning to visit him at some points along the way. Louis is also said to be looking for houses in the Kardashian-approved neighbourhood of Calabasas where Briana's family live.

Although the expectant mum herself has yet to speak out about her upcoming new arrival, Louis did address the topic for the first time in an interview last week, during a Good Morning America appearance to promote 1D's new single.

"Louis, from one father to another I want to congratulate you on your upcoming fatherhood. So how are you feeling?" GMA host Michael Strahan asked the 23-year-old singer. Not seeming too fazed by the question, Louis responded with a genuine "Thank you," adding, "Obviously it's a very exciting time. So, eh, I'm buzzing."

Although Louis and Briana were never officially a couple, they did date for a brief period back in May, just weeks after the 1D singer ended things with his girlfriend of four years Eleanor Calder.

Sometimes you just end up being on the receiving end of some of the most bizarre texts you can imagine.

Whether they’re from your ex or your housemate, everybody has opened up a message at some point and been left feeling a touch confused.  

@textsfromyourex never fails to make us laugh and provide us with some inspiration for replying to those out of the blue messages we would rather not get.

 

Oh yeah. That too

Instagram accounts and Tumblr pages dedicated to such occurrences are always on hand with a reminder that no matter how strange you think your life is, someone will nearly always beat you.

Kate Siegel started the account @CrazyJewishMom to highlight just how hilarious and weird her mom’s messages tended to get. It was an absolute success and we couldn’t get enough of her mom’s no-filter attitude to life.

 

I guess this was to be expected. #crazyjewishmom

Earlier this week the mother of an Irish school girl was heavily criticised for allowing her daughter to pursue her modelling career.

Darcy-Brittain-Dissont, from Co. Down is 13-years old and found herself in the middle of huge controversy when it emerged that she would be walking in the Belfast Fashion Week. She had been signed to the CMPR modelling agency.

Wow! Meet 13 year old Darcy – #cmprmodel's newest signing! This is from her recent test shoot with photographer Gavin…

Posted by Belfast Fashion Week on Wednesday, 5 August 2015

Her mother, Brenda McCleary spoke to Evoke.ie about how she had apparently angered many parents by allowing her daughter to model and how she was in full support of Darcy’s decision.

“I fully approve of Darcy’s desire to model for CMPR and would support her 100%.”

She also went on to say that modelling is something Darcy wants to do in her spare time and they will encourage the teenager who she described as “academically strong.”

The owner of the CMPR agency Cathy Martin has said that the story was blown out of proportion and noted that Darcy would not be placed in situations deemed unsuitable for a teenage girl.

Darcy’s modelling career sparked some controversy when it was compared to the choice of fashion house Dior to use a model who was only 14 to be the face of their label but Cathy feels it is not the same situation. “It is not like the Dior model who was in a sheer dress and walking with adult models," she said.

Sofia Mechetner’s appearance on the runway for the label was contested when she was dressed in a sheer gown which many found too revealing for a young girl.

Darcy’s mom and Cathy Martin have insisted that “No one is exploited. No one is sexualised.”

Speaking with the Belfast Telegraph Darcy admitted she thinks a lot of the controversy surrounding her appearance at Belfast Fashion Week concerns her age. She notes in an interview that Kate Moss started modelling young too so it is not uncommon in the industry.

If there’s one thing we all know for certain, it is that striking the perfect balance in life is hard. Carving out that precious hour or so a day to dedicate to the gym can be hard.

There are days when you’re just not feeling it and would much rather join your friend for happy hour or just lie down on the couch and embrace laziness.

Lucky for you then, we rounded some of the easiest ways to help you stay healthy, and lose some extra pounds. These are small straightforward changes that you can make every day. No stress or bicycle shorts required.

Drink more green tea.

Research has shown is can help people lower their levels of body fat

Enjoy your salad, just relax with the dressing.

They can include added sugars that you will regret later. Stick with the clean veggies that have loads of fibre and lower calories than other lunch options.

Protein for everyone.

Unfortunately for vegetarians, eating lean protiens (turkey, salmon, etc.) will keep you full between meals and help to speed up your metabolism.

Take the stairs.

Drink smaller wine glasses.

No need to ditch the booze entirely this week. If you’re a fan of a glass after a long hard day, then get a smaller glass and indulge a few nights a week rather than every day. Apparently this easy swap can help you shed nearly two stone over a year.

Laugh more!

No, seriously, research has shown that laughing for even 10 minutes a day can burn almost 40 calories. Hilarious.

Sleep.

Working long hours can mean late nights and early mornings, and trying to fit things into your schedule outside of work can mean even less time spent sleeping. However, the University of Pennsylvania found that people who were sleep-deprived over 11 days gained more than 3 pounds compared to the “well-rested” group. So get some sleep!

There has been heart-breaking news for Eurythmics singer Annie Lennox and her family this weekend following a tragic kayaking accident yesterday morning.

Her 22-year old daughter was out on the waters of the Hudson River with her boyfriend, 32-year old Ian Jones when they got into difficulty.

Both Tali and Ian disappeared beneath the surface of the water and it is understood that neither of the pair were wearing a life jacket at the time.

Tali was fortunately rescued by a passing boat, however following the kayak’s’ capsize it is understood that Ian has not been found.

Rescue workers were forced to call off their search yesterday evening when rough conditions were proving difficult for the crew. They explained:

"The rescue operation has been hampered by difficult river conditions but they guys are doing everything they can to locate the missing man."

They said that while time is important in situations such as this, “no one has given up hope”.

The couple are based in New York and have been seeing one another for a number of years, Annie is said to be very close to both her daughter and Ian who is a photographer.

People magazine reports that while the cause of the incident is unknown, Dutchess County Sheriff’s Captain John Watterson believes that both “the river's strong current and alcohol may have played a role”.

Kylie Jenner is one lucky 17-year old. To add to her growing car collection, boyfriend and rapper Tyga has reportedly gifted the reality TV star with a very swanky luxury red Mercedes G-wagon.

Kylie was spotted driving the red jeep around L.A over the weekend and some eagle eye celeb-watches noticed something interesting about the licence plates. They are the same as those on Blac Chyna’s Mercedes.

The Mercedes, once white and then painted pink, was a gift given to Blac Chyna, Tyga’s ex and mother of his son, which he then demanded she give back to him after they broke up. TMZ reports that Tyga had the truck repainted for Kylie to give to her.

Considering Tyga was making headlines recently after it emerged that he is behind on his rent payments, we’re not too surprised that he opted for a lower-budget gift for Kylie than a brand new car.

Kylie and Blac Chyna have been having it out on social media over the last number of months so we can’t imagine this will go down to well with either of the ladies.

Hollywood Life reports an insider as saying: “Blac Chyna is laughing hysterically at Tyga and Kylie. This is straight comedy to her.”

“She loves getting Blac’s leftovers. First it was Tyga, now it’s Blac’s old car.” 

The Daily Mail has reported however that Kylie was simply “borrowing” the car while her own was being customised. According to sources however, Tyga never made it clear that he was expecting the car back.

As well as the car controversy, Tyga also got himself in hot water with his latest Snapchat.

In it, his son King Cairo can be seen “washing2 a luxury white Range Rover. The rapper came under fire when it was thought that his son was washing Kylie’s Range Rover while she and Tyga watched.

 

2 is better than 1 #Kingin

Another photo shared by Tyga showed however that he and Kylie in fact have matching Range Rovers, either way, we don’t doubt that Blac Chyna will have something to say about this weekend’s Kylie centred events.

Sometimes you feel like you have your life totally under control and you can overcome any obstacle that comes your way.

Then there’s the time when you can’t get your eyebrows to match, nothing in your wardrobe is suitable and you just want to get back under the covers and never emerge.

Interestingly enough, the one thing that can bring on this feeling of despair is this:

Whether you’re right or left handed, if you’ve ever tried to give yourself a manicure at home this has surely happened at some point.

However, you need never fear again because the good people at Allure have found us the most simple of solutions.

Glue. Glue is answer to all of your nail woes. Never again will you leave the house looking like you dumped your hand in a paint bucket. Success!

The ultimate life hacks for when you need your nails to be on point but you don’t have the time, or funds, to ask a professional for help.

Just make sure you’re using non-toxic glue. Then paint a thin coat around the nail bed and allow it to act as barrier between your skin and the polish.

When you’re finished with the polish, all you have to do is grab a tweezers and peel off the polish. Perfection, every single time.

Zayn Malik does seem to be moving on quite quickly doesn’t he?

Earlier this week it was reported that the former One Direction member was catching up with Kylie Jenner on social media amid rumours that he broke up with fiancé Perrie Edwards by text message.

Now apparently he’s got his sights set on one of Taylor’s friends, Zendaya. The 18-year old Disney star has caught Zayn’s eye and he seems keen to spend some time with her.

According to The Sun, the pair have been in contact: "Zayn is talking to a lot of ladies very casually, but Zendaya is the most high-profile,” a source has said.

It could be something other than romance that Zayn is after however, as the insider also revealed Zayn wants to work with Zendaya. "He said they should get in the studio together."

Meanwhile, Perrie is not letting her newly single status get her down as she travels across the States with her band Little Mix.

The 22-year old has been enjoying the casino and party scene in Las Vegas, and sharing plenty of snaps on social media as she does.

Fair warning: this video will probably make you feel an awful lot of feelings and also cry.

Wedding photographers Matt and Pacey Harris captured on film the moment bride Brooke Blackledge opened a letter from her mother that had been written 20 years previously.

When she was 18-months old asleep in her baby bed her biological mom, wrote her a note to be opened on her wedding day.

Her adoptive parents found out they were not able to have children of their own and adopted Brooke's older brother Brian, and then 11 years later Brooke. Her mom kept the letter unopened and unwrapped to give to Brooke as a gift on the big day.

In the note, which her mom wrote on a piece of her own wedding dress, she told Brooke how much joy her birth had brought to the family.

"Being adopted, I wanted her to know how much we loved her and I thought it would be extremely precious when she opened it up on her wedding day.”

Brooke married her childhood sweetheart Tyler Zugg in March and her adoptive parent’s touching surprise was all captured on camera.

In case you missed it this week, McDonalds made the announcement that they want to introduce table service to their restaurants.

Not only that, but they are obviously making some serious efforts for their name to be associated with more elegant dining.

Their new ‘gourmet’ breakfast menu has been unveiled for the world to see, and they have included some unexpected items. Sourdough bread and wilted spinach? From McDonalds? Madness.

The menu is currently being tested outside of Brisbane in Austrailia, according to Burger Business.

A ‘Café Breakfast’ inspired string of products include; bacon, chipolata sausage (small pork sausages, FYI), scrambled eggs, grilled tomato, wilted spinach and our favourites Belgian waffles.

There’s also a bacon and egg roll, not just any kind though this is gourmet dining after all. This one comes on a toasted brioche roll with bacon, eggs, spinach and a tomato relish. Yum.

They’re also offering an avocado smash platter that has smashed avocado, spinach, sliced tomato and crumbled feta cheese.

There is rumours of a chorizo and egg brioche roll to be available on the menu. No more double cheeseburgers for the breakfast of champions then?

The upscale food offerings are sure to make the breakfast McMuffins look a little lacking, but it is hard to imagine that fancy spinach and avocados will soon be available via drive-thru but some people are still crying out for an all-day breakfast menu.

It is quite rare that these days you meet someone who hasn’t indulged in a nap at some point in their lives. Not just for infants or small children, 15 minutes of absolute luxury can be all yours if you’re willing to indulge in a quick trip to the land of snooze-ville.

There’s just one problem: optimal napping conditions can sometimes be hard to find.

The trek upstairs to your actual bed can be far too intimidating, especially if it’s a Sunday and last night just went far too well for you. Feeling fragile and needing some cuddles to help you through The Fear?

Then you need this pillow/bed. inspired by the character from Disney's Big Hero 6, this is the best thing we've seen all week.

He’s shaped like a human, so cuddles all day every day.

He supports you when it's time for snacks and tea; no spills, no problems.

There’s also his ability to stretch, so you’ll never be afraid of falling off.

We need one, immediately.
