They has been a lot of rumours surrounding how Kris feels about Caitlyn Jenner, but it seems there are no hard feelings as the pair posed together last night with Kim Kardashian, to start the celebrations for Kylie's 18th birthday on Monday. 

Last night was the first time the former couple were spotted in public together since news that Caitlyn was transitioning to a woman broke. 

The whole family came together last night to begin celebrating Kylie's birthday in an intimate family dinner in Los Angeles.

Kim has been one of Caitlyn's biggest supporters through out her journey and she posted the selfie which seems like a huge step for the family. 

Kanye's wife also posted another selfie with just Caitlyn which the caption "The great Cait" and wow does she look stunning. 

Kim and Khloe also shared more snaps of the night with plenty of pictures of the sisters popping up on social media. 

Khloe posted a picture saying "The festivities are just beginning!! My baby girl is going to be 18!!! I'm legit going to cry I love you ky!"

We're not sure yet what Tyga has planned for Kylie, but earlier in the day she was spotted out doing some car shopping with him so maybe he's getting her a new ride.

We've seen her pull off brown, black and even blue locks – but for the first time, Kylie Jenner has opted for a seriously lighter look.

And we love it!

The reality TV star, who turns 18 next week, took to Snapchat to unveil her new tresses – delighting fans in the process.

The teenager showed off her plumped her lips – which she admitted earlier this year to having had enhanced through temporary fillers – and stuck her tongue out the side of her mouth.

Bronde – a mixture of brunette and blonde hair – has also recently been seen on the likes of Blake Lively, Chrissy Teigen, and Ashley Tisdale.

Earlier this week, it was revealed that Kylie has the world's most viewed Snapchat account. She also has 30.2million followers on Instagram.

However, it should be noted that Ms Jenner has tricked us before: she once donned a bright blonde wig.

Either way, we reckon she looks very like a young Angelina Jolie!

New and bizarre make-up trends are constantly popping up all over the internet, some good, some bad and some very, very ugly.

But there are definitely a few worth taking a look at as they could change your beauty routine forever. Coming straight from the celebs with their #flawless selfies, here's everything you need to know.

Baking
If you want gorgeously illuminated eyes like J-Lo this is the beauty hack for you. Begin by putting a blendable concealer on your T-zone and under your eyes, then pat a yellow-toned loose powder on top. Let it sit for about ten minutes, allowing your body's own natural heat to bake the products together. After the time is up, wipe away any excess powder and you're good to go!

 

Strobing
This technique is actually quite simple and a much easier method than Kim K's signature contouring. Strobing focuses on highlighting prominent points of your face without any bronzer or shading powder. All you need to do is get your favourite highlighter – the type doesn't matter – and blend the product over the high points of your cheek bones, the bridge of your nose and cupids bow. Be careful and use a light hand as you don't want to look like a shiny disco ball.

 

Cut – Crease Eye Shadow
Playing with the placement of your crease can really give you a more exaggerated look, so this method is great if you want to give your eyes an instant boost. Simply apply a base coat all over your eye lid, and use a liquid liner to draw a dramatic cat-eye wing on your lid. Next, with an angled brush and a neutral shadow colour, create a curve until you hit the edge of your liner. Blend it upwards and hey presto – completely dramatic eye make up in an instant!

 

Over Lining
We can all thank Kylie Jenner for this one! To get her look (without having to resort to lip fillers) all you have to do is use a natural dark lip liner to outline all over the crease of your lips. The next step is to get a lighter shade of lipstick and smack it on your pout. And that's it, plumper lips without any hassle!

Binky, Sophie, Lucy, Tiff… there's no denying the Made In Chelsea women all have pretty stellar bodies. But, as with most celebrities, they're not that lean and toned without some help. 

Personal trainer Lonan O'Herlihy reveals how he the MIC cast keep their figures in check, while still dining out on truffles and bubbly in true Chelsea style. Lonan appears in series eight of the show and has worked to train Binky Felstead, James Dunsmore and Josh Shepherd among others.

 

This one came to play last night…. (She wants more followers so guys please give her a follow) @binkyfelstead

Lonan advocates for a high protein diet with unlimited veg and lean meat, and no carbs in the afternoon or evening. "It’s the diet which is the main thing. Around 80 per cent of it is down to diet. A lot of people don’t realise that," he told MailOnline during an interview promoting his new Lenovo workout video series.

"I train the same all the way through the year but my body changes by about 10 kilos because my diet changes."

A typical food diary under Lonan's guidance? "For breakfast, egg whites with some tuna. Lunch, a salad with grilled chicken. Dinner, white meat or fish and vegetables. Snacking on nuts and berries," he advises.

Of course, there's always room for a cheat day so Lonan only insists on strict eating six days a week. "‘Eating well is really easy, it’s just about getting into a routine," he says.

As for alcohol? Well, Lonan says it's best left out at all costs but of course that's not always an option. "If you can avoid alcohol then that’s best. I’ve done 6 months not drinking and I had amazing results," he says.

"But if you’re in a social group it’s just not possible. So I would say look at the calorie content of each, stick to just vodka or gin, which is lower in calories."

As well as being Binky's housemate (and rumoured boyfriend for a time), Lonan is also close pals with other MIC cast members. In fact, he's currently holidaying at Josh's Barbados home.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are back in business, people.

It's been a whole decade since the famous couple have graced our movie screens together but we won't have to wait much longer as they have just released the first trailer for their new movie, titled By The Sea. 

Ange and Brad's newest project is a far cry from the 2005 action-packed comedy Mr. and Mrs. Smith. In By The Sea, Angelina plays Vanessa, a broken woman in the midst of a dysfunctional relationship with her husband Roland, played by her real-life spouse Brad.

In an effort to deal with problems in their marriage, the troubled couple resort to drugs and violence. 

Angelina revealed that she and Brad actually filmed some scenes while they were on their honeymoon last year… not exactly the most romantic way to celebrate being newlyweds.

In an interview with Stylist Magazine Jolie admitted there was a weird vibe on set at time. "We kept joking that all of the crew felt like they were living in a house where the parents were fighting and you don't know where to stand or look," she said. Kind of strange, no?

The stunning actress wrote and directed the flick, set in a seaside town in France back in the 1970s. 

If the trailer is anything to go by we are going to be taken on an emotional rollercoaster ride with this one. Watch it now:

Rapper Chris Brown recently announced that he was working to turn his life around after years of bad boy behaviour. Step one of his many lifestyle changes is spending time focusing on his daughter Royalty, but it seems that's not been very easy for him to do of late.

The No Air hitmaker took to Twitter earlier today to hit out at Royalty's mother, Nia Guzman, for using their child as "leverage" in an ongoing financial battle.

"Some men my age run from their responsibility as fathers. I embrace mine. Just sucks that some females use children as meal tickets," he wrote.

"Using a child as leverage is never ok. The highest praise to the men who actually want their kids."

Chris has been paying Nia $2,500 (€2,270) in child support since discovering he was father to one-year-old Royalty in January of this year. But Nia is now demanding $15,000 (€13,600) each month, six times more than Chris is currently paying her.

And according to sources close to the rapper, he refused to pay anything at all last month after Royalty was sent to Nia's mother's house at the time he was due to see her. He has also contested Nia's plans to get full custody of the little one.

Nia and Chris were never in a long-term relationship but had a brief fling back in 2013. As part of the custody battle, Chris must prove he is indeed Royalty's biological father and must also refute Nia on three points – that he might put Royalty in harm's way, that drugs may be used in her presence, and that she might be in danger of violence from Chris' acquaintances.

Last month a group of gunmen targeted Chris' aunt at his €5m Los Angeles home, holding her at gunpoint as they rooted through the house for valuables.

Sounds like the singer has a rocky road ahead.

Since announcing her pregnancy earlier this summer, rumour surrounding the unborn baby has been rife. 

Kim Kardashian herself regularly laughs off the gossip, but that hasn't stopped the commentators: for weeks they've speculated as to the likes of the baby's sex (she later confirmed it is a boy) and name.

In particular, the reality TV megastar has cited as "ridiculous" suggestions that she and her rapper husband Kanye West would call their son South, despite it being a moniker which would seemingly complement daughter North, aged two, nicely.

However, today it is being reported that Ms Kardashian, 34, and Mr West, 38, have plenty of direction after all. Indeed, they have now very much settled on a name for their new baby… and they have opted for Easton.

Yes, Mail Online – which seemingly has close ties to the Kardashian-Jenner family – is claiming an exclusive on the scoop.

"Easton is the chosen name. It's confirmed that the baby boy will be called Easton," a close family friend is quoted as telling the website this evening.

Reportedly, the celebrity pair were eager to lock in a name in advance of his December birth so that his nursery and wardrobe can be made complete with monograms.

The same source furthermore claims that it was Kim who ultimately came up with Easton – though Mr West is said to love it too. 

"No doubt monogrammed baby bibs are being hand-sewn as we speak," the family friend continues. "Mason is already calling his auntie's tummy Easton."

Kim had previously said during a radio interview she doesn't "like South West," largely because north is "always better" than south – meaning his big sister would have "a better direction".

Still, she is often quick to comment on such matters via her various social media platforms, so we'll be keeping our eyes peeled for a confirmation or denial.

In the meantime, what do you think of little Easton West?

Is coffee good for more than just wearing off the inevitable mid-day slump? 

A new study suggests that drinking a lot of coffee could actually reduce your risk of developing skin cancer. 

In the decade-long study, researchers analysed nearly 450,000 people who drank coffee. The participants had to fill in questionnaires that came from The National Institute Of Health about their various eating and drinking habits.

By the end of the study, close to 3,000 people developed malignant melanoma, a serious type of skin cancer that occurs in the cells that produce pigmentation.

After adjusting the research to account for various risk factors including smoking, family history and sun exposure, researchers found the very interesting association that the people who drank four or more cups of coffee a day were 20 percent less likely to developed malignant melanoma.

Caffeinated coffee in particular lessened the risk even more.

So how is this possible? The authors of the study think coffee contains extremely beneficial compounds (including caffeine) that appear to fend off cancer in a number of ways:

  • They suppress cells that turn cancerous in the sun
  • They fend off oxidative stress and DNA damage
  • They absorb harmful sun rays (kind of like sun screen)
  • And they detoxify carcinogens

This is all BRILLIANT news for us coffee drinkers, especially all of us whose Nespresso bills are sky high.

Close to a year after splitting from rugby player Matt Janney, Emma Watson has opened up about how difficult the whole ordeal was for her.

But rather than stock up on Ben & Jerry's or go overboard on a mad night out, the Harry Potter actress used a decidedly different coping technique in the midst of the break-up… a week long vow of silence.

"I went on a silent retreat, because I really wanted to figure out how to be at home with myself," the actress admits in the current issue of Vogue UK, for which she is the September cover star.

Emma revealed that she booked into a private facility in the Canadian Rocky Mountains where all residents must remain in silence for seven full days.

In fact, the actress felt so lost and down in herself that she checked into the facility even before her romance with Matt was officially over. "I felt really uncomfortable, even before my relationship ended," she said of her extreme decision.

Emma and Matthew split at the of 2014 after over a year together, and the actress describes their break-up as "horrendous." However she is quick to point out that for the most part her love life has been positive, saying that in general past boyfriends have made her feel "really cherished. They've built me up."

Prior to Matt, Emma's boyfriends included her college sweetheart Will Adamowicz, her Perks Of Being A Wallflower co-star Johnny Simmons and One Night Only frontman George Craig.

And has Emma's Hollywood status made it difficult for her to maintain a normal relationship? No, she says, though it does make things a little unbalanced. "I certainly haven't found that with doing all that I do or being all that I am, that I've struggled in my love life," she said. "I just think it's very patronizing towards men. It undermines them."

Victoria Beckham officially won throwback Thursday when she posted an old Spice Girls photo album on her Instagram account last night. And the world obviously went totally crazy afterwards.

Then began the rumours: the girls were reuniting to mark the 20th anniversary of their global hit debut single, Wannabe

Unsurprisingly given her mega-profile and her successful career as a fashion designer, Victoria Beckham was said not be joining the girl gang on stage for their tour – but the others were seemingly very much on board.

Still, late this afternoon Emma Bunton delivered the devastating news that "nothing's happening at the moment". Nooooo!

The Sun had reported today that the reunion tour was definitely in the offing.

"If anything happens and it's concrete, and we decide on something, I will let you know," Baby Spice said on Heart FM this morning.

Mel C later tweeted: "Woke up this morning wondering whether I need to start practising my backflips???!!!" A jibe to which Ms Bunton then replied: "Do I need to put my pigtails in?!?!?"

Victoria Beckham has previously said the London Olympics back in 2012 was definitely her final appearance with the others in any sort of musical capacity.

Although in the past year, the band haven't been shy about meeting up in public and they're quite open about how they are all still really close friends and all stay in touch regularly. 

And we're quietly hopeful that the worldwide reaction today may have given the girls some serious food for thought. Indeed, The Sun reporter who broke the story, Dan Wooton, was eager to stress that no actual denial had been issued. 

He's sticking to his guns, in fact, suggesting via Twitter that an official announcement will still come later this year – a message which Emma then shared with her 1.2million followers. 

Sounds promising, we say!!
