The celebrations just seem to be never ending this weekend as reality TV star Kylie Jenner turns 18 years old.

However, for the famous Kardashian clan things are not all fun and games, although they could have fooled us. Friday night saw the family donning some of their finest style pieces as they headed off for family dinner at Nobu in L.A.

 

Happy Birthday Ky!!!!!!

Minus brother Rob, 32, the rest of the family were all in attendance, including Kris and Caitlyn Jenner who appeared to be getting along very well as they stepped out to celebrate their youngest daughter’s birthday.

Since her transition Caitlyn has apparently been in limited contact with ex-wife Kris.

Then on Saturday, Kim and Kourtney really got into the dress-up spirit when they showed up a photoshoot.

The pair donned some seriously sexy PVC dresses and black wigs to cover their famous shining locks.

While Kim’s dress seemed to be taking plunging to new levels entirely, Kourtney appeared to be going in the opposite direction as her diamante encrusted bustier brought the term ‘push-up’ to new heights.

Kim’s plunging neckline stopped just above her bellybutton and the Atsuko Kudo design leaves very little to the imagination.

Sister Khloé was also sporting a black strappy number with her blonde hair curled to perfection for the shoot.

Not to be outdone, the birthday girl herself also appeared on hand for the photo call. Sharing a short video clip on Snapchat, Kylie could be seen dressed in a strappy bustier styled dress. The black number emphasised the teenager’s tiny waist with a patent belt.

Well this is some relationship news that we really were not expecting to hear.

Reportedly, Nicole Scherzinger, 37, and beloved ginger Ed Sheeran, 24, are spending an awful lot of time together, enough that there are now rumours the pair are something of an item.

According to The Sun, the two are said to be “in the early stages of dating”.

Nicole and Ed have been friends for some time now, but apparently things started to take a different turn when she split up from long-term boyfriend Lewis Hamilton in February this year.

It was Ed’s songs that helped the former X Factor judge get through her heartache, apparently. The Daily Mail reports that Nicole joined the singer backstage at one of his Wembley Stadium gigs.

 Just days later he apparently whisked her off to his home town in Suffolk where they visited his favourite local pub.

A source has told The Sun, “As far as he’s concerned they were in the early stages of dating and he’s been open about it with close friends and colleagues.”

Since his break-up from long-term girlfriend Athina Andrelos, Ed has been linked to a number of stars over the last few months.

This included Irish model Louise Johnston, but he quickly out those rumours to rest when he said that his love life had been “non-existent” since he broke up with Athina.

Just one month ago they hit the headlines when they announced via social media that they would be splitting up, not Vogue Williams is speaking about how difficult things have been since she and Brian McFadden went public with their split.

The Sun has reported that the 29-year old is still living with husband Brian despite the fact the pair are keen to go their separate ways.

She has admitted that while the living arrangements are odd, they are the most convenient for the twosome.

“My family find it strange but we’ve only just broken up and I haven’t found somewhere else to live.”

The model/DJ went on to say that their break-up was not the result of either of them finding someone else, rather it just didn’t work for them.

“He wasn’t with anyone else, I wasn’t with anyone else, it was nothing to do with that. That’s why we find it easier to be friends maybe.”

While Vogue has admitted that she has found their split very stressful, she is doing her best to move on from their failed relationship.

“I didn’t get married to get divorced. I’m not in a great place. I find every day is quite stressful, every day I’m upset, you just have to move forward with life.”

The Sun reports that Vogue is happy to be single for a while and hasn’t thought about on from ex-husband Brian just yet:

“I think I’ll be single for a while, I’m not ready for that. I still miss Brian, it’s not even crossing my mind just yet.”

Vogue and Brian, 35, were married in Florence in September 2012 and as recently as April the pair seemed to be hinting at starting a family together, with Vogue telling the Irish Independent she was “feeling the baby pressure”.

The first ever Ironman race to take place in Dublin is being held today. The 2,500 athletes took off at 7am this morning, putting the rest of us and our much-loved Sunday lie-ins to shame.

The first stage was a 1.9km swim at Scotsman’s Bay in Dun Laoghaire. Then they tackle 90 km cycle through the city centre and looping back to Phoenix Park. The race then concludes with a 21km half marathon.

We bet you thought they might have been stopping for tea with Michael D after that cycle, right? No, these are serious athletes.

Ironman 70.3 is a mid-distance triathlon but Dublin is expected to host a full-distance Ironman in 2016.

That would be a 3.8km swim, a 180km cycle, and a 42.2km run. So there’s plenty of time for us to get our best cycling shorts out for next year’s training then.

Athletes from over 40 countries are expected to take part today alongside some 1,500 Irish athletes that include professionals Robbie Wade and Kevin Thornton. Just one famous face spotted among the crowd was Bressie, looking very, errr, stylish in his wetsuit…

These athletes include some 500 female athletes, in the last number of years that has been a huge increase in the number of female athletes competing in such events.

The spokesman for Triathlon Ireland Scott Graham has said: “In 2005 we had 800 members, this year we are expecting about 10,250 members. So over the last 10 years it’s been double-digit growth in terms of membership year-on-year.”

Included in the field of competitors this morning is German athlete Sonja Tajsich who has been described as the “fastest triathlete on land.”

Phew! We’ll be thinking of them all while we tackle our Sunday brunch favourites his morning. Plenty of locals along the route are making sure to provide some support for competitors along the way. The Irish Mammy type has never been appreciated, we can only imagine:

After just 4 hours on the course the winner was announced earlier today.

Congratulations Denis, we'll be raising a cup of coffee to you as we prepared for our Sunday midday nap.

After four years as a mentor, will.i.am has reportedly decided to step down for his role  on The Voice UK.

The star of the Black Eyed Peas has been a mentor on the programme since the very first season. Apparently, his decision has come a result of his disappointment with the show not producing any overly successful stars.

According the The Mirror, bosses at the BBC are “desperate” to keep him on the programme, especially since Rita Ora also backed out of her role this year.

A source has reportedly said:

"Will has been in discussions with producers but decided he doesn't want to return this year. He’s disappointed Rita Ora left and is frustrated the show has failed to produce an international star.”

Will is also supposedly upset that his former contestant Leah McFall failed to “set the charts alight”.

There are rumours that American singer Jason Derulo could step in as a replacement for Will. Kaiser Chiefs singer Ricky Wilson is expected to sign on again and there are also plenty of rumours that Kylie Minogue could be making her return in the future.

The Daily Star on Sunday reports that singer Joss Stone, 28, was approached to sign on as a mentor but refused.

A spokesperson for The Voice is reported as saying that negotiations are still ongoing ahead of the series fifth year in production.

Seriously, we would absolutely LOVE to see Zayn and Perrie have it out on the Jeremy Kyle show!

But besides that, Jeremy had a lot to say about how Zayn broke up with his former fiance in his newspaper column.

Jeremy wrote in The Sun newspaper that it doesn't take a genius to have guessed that their relationship wouldn't last that long but he blasted Zayn for dumping his fiancees over text. 

He says it's not acceptable that he would break Perrie's heart by breaking up with her like that. 

He wrote: "It shows something of the class of both of them that, despite her heartbreak, Perrie was back at work and facing the cameras – while, to cause the heartbreak, Zayn stayed hidden behind a cowardly text."

"Breaking up by text is cheap but this one might just cost Zayn dear – about half of the £3million they just forked out on their little love nest, I reckon."

It is reported that this split is completely out of the blue for Perrie who shared a picture of them together just a few weeks ago.

This is Tal Peleg, she is an artist and began using her eyes as her canvas for some of her creations.

She loves make-up and that is what led her to these creations, she told Bored Panda "Makeup is an amazing form of art, and I use it in order to make my eye tell a story."

"I don’t just paint on the eye, but try to use the shape of the eye and its natural curves as part of the illustration in a creative way."

"Inspiration is all around me, and I give my own unique artistic interpretation using makeup. It can be inspired by emotions, movies, fairytales, animals, food, important social matter and more."

"I create all the eye-art on  my own eye, and I use mostly eyeshadows, eyeliners and watercolors, and of course – super tiny brushes. It takes hours of work, and lots of patience, but I really enjoy every moment of the process!"

Cheryl Fernandez-Versini has completely cut her ties with her ex-hubby Ashley Cole as she has purchased a new home in London with her new man Jean-Bernard. 

The 32-year-old has moved back to where she spent her days when she was a part of Girls Aloud. The purchase of this new home means she can finally move out of the home in which she lived with Ashley Cole. 

Cheryl can finally fully move on and a source told the Sun newspaper that she "and JB are so happy in their new place, it's amazing.

"It's huge and has a modern edge. They can really see themselves starting a family there.

"It's a part of town Cheryl knows well and she feels comfortable being back there."

According to sources, they purchased a five-bedroom house which has a swimming pool, jacuzzi and a gym. It is reported that the house also has staff quarters so the couple can be well looked after. 

Cheryl filed for divorce from her former husband back in 2010. 

Cheryl is facing a lot of criticism about her weight during filming of the X Factor but her beau quickly jumped to her defence saying: "She is the most beautiful woman on the planet and she wants to share it. #sharingiscaring No seriously she is."

Healthy is the new skinny

I always thought I was "too much" of everything: too loud, talked too much, too tall, too big, too shrill, too manly… Too, too, too. Fuck about a "too"! We're too fabulous–and exactly the right amount of EVERYTHING we each should be. Embrace your bony knees, flat butt, round tummy, big boobs, pointy nose, big forehead–whatever part of yourself you've been rejecting. The only thing we are doing "too much" of with self-hatred is hurting our own feelings with harsh judgements, rather than opening ourselves up to all the beauty that is our true being underneath the fretting. We have never been too much. We are enough. We are never too fat, too skinny, too manly, too scrawny, too round, too tall, too short… We are who we are and we are loveable as we are. #HonorMyCurves

Ok so it’s the weekend and now we have a bit of extra time to prepare a delicious breakfast.

Usually we’re in a rush to get out the door in time to work, but today we want to make something delicious.

We have lined up some breakfast that you can get working on right away without all the calories.

Avocado Omelette

  • 6 eggs
  • 1 avocado
  • 6 cherry tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • Sea salt

This is definitely what we’re making for brekkie today! This is so easy and it’s just a spin on the regular omelette. All you need to do is crack the eggs and add them to mashed avocado and chopped tomatoes.  Cook the mix on a non-stick frying pan until nicely firm and then crisp it up until the grill.

Wheat-free pancakes

  • 384g of ground almond
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 3 large eggs
  • 100ml of unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons of coconut oil

Thank god! We can have pancakes without the guilt, finally!

All you need to do is combine the ground almond, salt and baking soda in a bowl. In another bowl whisk the eggs, add the milk and oil together. Gradually mix the two bowls of ingredients together and add more milk if necessary. Cook with coconut oil on a frying pan for 3-4 minutes each side and serve with desired toppings.

5 ingredient granola bars

  • 120g of dates
  • 85g of honey
  • 85g of peanut butter
  • 120g of roasted almonds
  • 120g of rolled oats

Toast the rolled oats until golden brown – around 15 mins. Place oats, almonds and dates in a bowl. Warm peanut butter and honey in a pan on a very low heat and then pour oat mixture in on top.  Place evenly in a flat container and place in the fridge. Once set cut into bar squares.
