So you know when you go buy yourself some new fab earrings and you're like "Thank God they come with that handy plastic back to hold them in place better"? Well turns out, if you've been leaving the plastic on, you have been doing it all wrong. 

Yes, we have all been living a lie, once you purchase earrings the plastic back has to be removed to create the regular tiny earring backs and we're a tad embarrassed that we never figured this out. 

Over the weekend, 19-year-old Chelsea Smith had an epiphany and realised those plastic backings were to be taken off. 

She shared her newfound knowledge with Twitter, resulting in a total meltdown by everyone who has ever made this mistake. 

"After nineteen years of living I have now realized that you are supposed to take the plastic part off" wrote Chelsea.

It turns out she wasn't the only one in shock following her discovery. Her tweet has been retweeted over 40,000 times by people who are equally as mind-blown by this fact and she even tweeted saying "If only I had a dollar for every retweet that tweet got."

However, following this discovery, others are claiming that the backs actually do have a purpose. Some people tweeted to say if you are wearing over-sized earrings, you need the plastic to hold them in place. In fact, the tweet has now started quite a debate online.

There’s another new girl in town! No it’s not a surprise addition to the hilarious sit com’s cast. 

Zooey Deschanel and husband Jacob Pechenik have welcomed their first baby together. A representative for Zooey confirmed with the news with People magazine.

"I am thrilled to confirm that Zooey Deschanel and her husband Jacob Pechenik are new parents to a beautiful healthy baby girl.”

It has also been confirmed that the 35-year old actress and Jacob did indeed tie the knot, making two surprise announcements in one weekend.

Page Six reports that’s that baby girl was born in Austin, Texas late last month.

The New Girl star confirmed to People magazine in January that she and her producer husband Jacob were expecting their first child together, and that they were engaged.

She said: “Jacob and I are over the moon. We are so excited to meet our little one.”

Zooey kept most of her pregnancy details quiet, including the sex of the baby. She however reveal some of her early struggles. She told Jimmy Kimmel that she found cutting out certain foods pretty difficult.

“You can’t have sushi, you can’t have cheese that tastes good.” 

In March she said that they wanted to keep the baby’s sex a surprise, but that it did take a bit of work:

“The last time the technician [said], ‘Just so you know, I always use the pronoun he — it’s just my habit.’ She set it up because we were paranoid.”

Further details of the pairs supposedly top-secret wedding ceremony have yet to be revealed. 

Congratulations to the happy couple and their new little one!

Not too long ago 1D fans around the world were thrown into complete chaos with the news that member Louis Tomlinson was going to become a dad.

Since the news broke that L.A based stylist Briana Jungwirth was pregnant with the pop star’s child, there has yet to be a comment from the 23-year old himself.

Now band mate Liam Payne has spoken out on his friend’s impending fatherhood.

Speaking with Magic Radio Liam said that when he found out about the news he was “shocked”.

"Well, obviously I was a bit shocked but he's taken super well to it."

According to Liam, Briana is a “lovely girl” and Louis is “very excited” about the baby. Last month Briana’s father confirmed the pregnancy news but so far none of the band members have commented on Briana and the baby.

"He's very excited with what's going on with him at the moment and I feel that stuff like that happens sometimes. He's taking it very seriously,” Liam, 22, has said.

He was also asked about Zayn Malik’s exit and his new record deal with the RCA label.

Liam admitted that while hasn’t spoken to Zayn recently as he’s “off doing is own thing”.

He did explain that leaving a band is a very difficult decision:

"It is a difficult thing to leave the band, but his heart wasn't in it and you have to go with your heart and say I can't do this any more.”

He did say he is looking forward to hearing Zayn’s new music, saying:  "I'm dead excited to hear some of his stuff. I did a lot of work with him in the studio when he was in the band.”

Liam himself has written songs for Cheryl Fernandez- Versini and spent time in the recording studio with Pharell Williams but said that he won’t be going out solo any time soon.

“I love being in the band. I don't know if I could do it by myself now, it's all too comfortable."

Just when we thought the long-running social media style feud between Amber Rose and her former BFFs the Kardashians was drawing to a close, new rumours are leading people to believe the opposite.

Hollywood Life reports that Amber was spotted cosying up with Kim’s former husband Kris Humphries at the Playboy Mansion over the weekend. According to the website this has given rise to speculation that the former girlfriend of Kanye West is not on the family’s good side.

A source has said that: "Amber and Kris were not only flirting, but getting intimate with PDA." 

The continued to explain that the pair were “all over each other at the bar” during the party.

“I think one of Kris' friends said some thing to her then Kris said 'hi'. It took him a second to realize who she was. They both started smiling and talking.”

In the past Amber has sparked a war of words with the famous family, specifically Khloé. The pair shared a heated Twitter debate after she made comments about youngest sister Kylie, 17, and her boyfriend Tyga, 25.

Despite her admitting that she admires Khloé and thinks she’s a really “cool” person last week on Perez Hilton’s podcast, Kanye himself doesn’t believe she has apologised.

Another source has told Hollywood Life: “Kanye despises Amber and nothing she ever says will make that better. She has said things about him and his family he will never forgive.”

The fact that Amber posted a series of snaps of herself on Instagram wearing a white swimsuit almost identical to one Kim wore apparently sparked rumours of a fight between the pair.

We've all been there, feeling a little guilty because maybe we splashed out just a bit too much of our pay cheque on that pair of shoes we needed. But that doesn't seem to be a problem for international superstar Beyonce, she spent a huge €280,000 on a pair of stilettos. 

The singer is well known for her amazing outfits, but this time she pulled out all the stops when she had an English jeweller sculpt these shoes to the exact shape of her foot. 

The boss of the British company, House of Borgezie, has said that they have crafted a pair of princess constellation heels for Bey which weigh an outstanding 65.60 carats and are encrusted with 1,290 sparkling diamonds. 

It is reported that these shoes are going to make an appearance in her upcoming music video 

Chris, head of House of Borgezie, flew to LA to meet with Beyonce and measured her feet for the shoes for an astonishing four hours.

He said "The word had gone around and I had a call from her people a couple of months ago.

"I went to America and spent four hours measuring her feet. It has to be down to the millimetre, once they are done there is no going back.

When speaking about meeting Beyonce, Chris said "She was really down to earth and really lovely and was very happy with the shoes.

"Ive been told the stilettos are for her next video which should be out in the autumn."

The constellation collection was launched last pair and two pairs of the shoes have been sold so far, one to Beyonce and one to a mystery buyer in Dubai. 

The shoes come with a lifetime guarantee so no need to worry about wrecking them on a night out.

No Doubt singer Gwen Stefani has filed for divorce from her husband Gavin Rossdale.

The pair were married for close to 13 years and together they have three sons; Kingston, 9, Zuma, 7, and Apollo who is almost 17 months old.

In a joint statement issued by the pair they have said:

“While the two of us have come to the mutual decision that we will no longer be partners in marriage, we remain partners in parenthood and are committed to jointly raising our three sons in a happy and healthy environment.”

Gwen, who is 45, has filed the legal papers to end their marriage in a California court citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for their break up.

Gavin, the frontman for band Bush, 49, is supposed to have filed his response at the same time and both of the parents are said to be seeking joint custody of their children.

According to TMZ, the pair did not sign a prenuptial agreement before they married in September 2002.

This would mean, according to California law that they are each entitled to half of their jointly owned properties. They have homes in Primrose Hill in London and in Los Angeles.

The last time the pair were spotted together was to celebrate the Fourth of July with Gwen’s parents and their three children.

We're all guilty of it: we wake up full of good intentions. We weather breakfast and maybe even lunch admirably, but at some stage we reckon 'feck it! – the diet starts tomorrow," before diving head-first into a giant glass of wine or family-sized bag of Kettle Crisps.

Because it seems that everyone is always starting their healthy eating regimes and exercise schedules 'tomorrow,' – or indeed 'on Monday…' or on the 'first of the month'.

So what's difficult about starting right now? And what can we do to give ourselves a kick up the arse?

Here, SHEmazing! brings you the ultimate guide to getting motivated…

 

1) Ask yourself why

Are you losing weight simply because you feel you 'should'? A lack of goals or clear targets will allow you to put off the best intentions indefinitely.

So ask yourself why: to fit back into your jeans; to look your best at a wedding; to be able to run 5km without stopping. Keep these goals in mind at all times until healthy living becomes second nature.

And write it all down too – then store it on your phone and refer back regularly. 

2) Know your triggers 

A lot of time, we don't really the reasons that prompt us to overeat – leading to binges. So work out how you eat and why. Do you eat because you're bored, or emotional, or thirsty? Do you always crack at 6pm? Are you someone who needs to have a treat day – or are you better off sticking to a diet plan until you start to see results?

Everyone is different – and you're best placed to identify your own nutritional pitfalls. While you're at it, clear the kitchen out of the food that you know you'll lean on after a tough day.

3) Preparation is key

No matter how much background checks you carry out – you won't get very far if you're not organised. This might mean having a stash of almonds or carrot sticks in your handbag at all times, so when hungry strikes you can reach for something healthy.

It probably means planning the week's meals in advance on a Sunday evening – hitting the supermarket accordingly.

Check out menus before eating out too in order to work out your best bets. The same goes to exercise and the gym: schedule in your sessions and stick to them as you would a job interview or important appointment. 

4) Spread the word

You'll need support no matter what – so tell your friends and family of your plans to get healthy and lose any excess kilos. Explain to them that you really want to quit the yo-yo dieting cycle, and that you're fully committed to making this plan work once and for all.

Spell out why this is something that's important to you, and emphasise that their support could well mean the difference between success and failure. For your own sake too – knowing that others know will help you stay on track.

5) Get visual

Dig out a picture of you wearing your coveted size 12 jeans – or a snap of you in a bikini looking pretty great. Make copies and stick them around your house: the fridge; your wardrobe; the bathroom mirror.

Knowing that you were once fitter and healthier than you are now proves that you can be that way again. If you want, you can even stick up a snap of a celebrity body shape you really admire.

Bank holiday Monday traffic was disrupted in the capital today – when a giant Minion character was blown away from a funfair by strong winds.

The yellow creature ended up on the Old Santry Road – with bystanders and witnesses subsequently helping gardai to deflate it.

It is believed that the Minion was blown away from a local funfair in the Santry area at around 3pm this afternoon.

Numerous social media snaps show the 12metre-long attraction taking up much of the road, with motorists being forced to stop until it was deflated and cleared.

Thankfully, no one was injured when the Minion escaped. Dublin City Councillor Paul McAuliffe highlighted in a statement that while "fairground events and festivals are really important in bringing foot fall to our city villages but even the smallest events have health and safety conditions.

"I have asked the Council to provide me with a report on the incident and for the operators of the fairground to be interviewed by council officials."

Understandably, however, online commentators have been delighting at the incident. 

The large Minion was spotted yesterday in situ at the funfair, seemingly unaware of his fate.

Tweeting from the @VCurrentAffairs handle, Veronica Walsh had posted an image of the popular character before the accident took place.

A group of pensioners have taken a novel approach to securing their dream holiday – namely going online and kick-starting a crowd-funding drive.

Their vacation aspiration was simple too: they hoped to travel by bus from their chilly Alpine village in northern Italy to Ugljan, a coastal resort in Croatia some 750km away.

Incredibly, much of the group has never even seen the sea before; those who have, haven't for many years. 

All are members of the Circolo Rododendro – the local older person's club – and the women meet for a few hours, two afternoons a week.

Nicknamed the Funne, on their weekly agenda is the likes of bingo, playing cards, idle chat and sometimes even a spot of ballroom dancing.

"Ever since I've been a member of the club, people have been saying, 'Come on, let's organise a trip to the seaside!'" Erminia who, at 70, is the youngest of the group, told the BBC.

"But something always went wrong: one would get sick, another would have some other problem."

Their home of Daone has a population of around 500 people, many of whom grew up poor.

"Do you know some people haven't even been to Trento?" Iolanda, another member, explained referring to the nearest city 60km away. "I was 20 the first time I went." And she is unusual in so far as she has seen the sea – in 1977 when she worked as a nanny.

The Funne started fundraising for their dream a year ago by holding a cake sale at the village fair: sadly, the result was underwhelming.

However, it was there that they bumped into Katia Bernardi, a local film documentary maker who has been following their fundraising endeavours ever since.

On Katia's suggestion, they initially tried making a novelty calendar.

A professional photographer and make-up artist (for most, the first and last time they wore make up was on their wedding day) came on board but the calendar was a flop – something which the ladies themselves put down to local disapproval and envy.

They had almost given up hope when Erminia's grandson suggested crowd-funding on the internet. She initially thought he was mad.

"I said, 'Don't be ridiculous, who's going to give money to a bunch of old ladies who want to go to the seaside?' They'll say, 'If you want to go to the seaside, you can pay for yourselves.'" 

Still, they saw donations flood in from as far away as London, New York and cities in Australia. Within three days they had more than doubled their target – money which was then used to take more women on the trip.

They have committed to sending all 350 of their donors a postcard too. 

They chose their Croatian island destination because Ugljan has the same patron saint as Daone: the Madonna of the snow. The saint's day is celebrated on Wednesday; their coach left Daone yesterday.

Their marriage has been the subject of much idle talk over the years, but it seems that Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith are now set to divorce – if well-placed reports from the US are to be believed.

The pair have been married for more than 17 years and have two children: 17-year-old Jaden, a son, and their daughter, Williow, 14.

Mr Smith also has another son, Trey, 22, from his first marriage.

Together, the couple is one of the most powerful in Hollywood and has a combined fortune of some €220m.

“For Will and Jada, holding it together these past few years has been tough because their marriage has been on life support for a long time,” an exclusive insider reportedly told Radar Online.

“They’re exhausted from trying to maintain the façade of a happy union,” the source continued. “They’ve decided to pull the plug in a carefully choreographed manner, [and] agree announcing their split at the end of the summer is the right move.”

Forty-six-year-old Will is currently filming the super villain flick, Suicide Squad. In an usual move, he even took to his Facebook page last night to deny the claims – calling Jada his "queen". 

Certainly, he and his 43-year-old wife have been a gossip magazine stable for years – with their supposed infidelity, bi-sexuality and open marriage being alluded to at various stages of their union.

Prior to Mr Smith's social media post today, neither had tended to comment publicly on unsubstantiated rumour, although Ms Pinkett Smith did partially address the whispers during an interview with Howard Stern in June.

"You've got to trust who you're with," she told the US radio host. "And at the end of the day, I'm not here to be anybody's watcher. I'm not his watcher. He's a grown man."

She later added that "as long as Will can look himself in the mirror and be OK," she was fine too.

The actress herself was dogged by cheating allegations involving her Hawthorne co-star, Marc Anthony, in 2011.

Meanwhile, Will’s apparent on-set chemistry with 25-year-old Margot Robbie, whom he stars opposite in Suicide Squad, was also widely reported on earlier this year.

Then in an interview last year, he seemed to say that his marriage had died and he’s been spotted without his wedding ring too.

“They tried to fix things with therapy, [but] it’s not happening,” the Radar Online source concluded.

An additional source added: “They’re already moving on with their lives. All that’s left is the inking of the divorce papers.”

She began a healthy eating regime and committed exercise programme more than a year ago in the aftermath of the breakdown of her four-year marriage to Lamar Odom. 

And certainly the results are impressive: Khloe Kardashian has never looked better. 

Now, the 31-year-old has revealed just how much weight she's lost: a cool 35lbs from her heaviest! That's two-and-a-half stone.

Ms Kardashian recently posed on the front of Complex magazine in a fitness-inspired shoot and in an interview broadcast on Australian radio show NOVA FM, she revealed that she loves hitting the gym.

"I'm so into it," she explained. "Even this morning, I've been up since 2.30 because I was jetlagged and couldn't sleep, and I still went to the gym this morning." 

The Californian furthermore stated: "It wasn't that intense because I'm still jetlagged, but I make sure that I go.

"Even 30 minutes you feel, 'Okay, I feel good about myself.'" And she added that when she's in LA she goes "hard".

"I know how I want to feel in clothes, and it does become addicting," Ms Kardashian admitted. "Once you start losing weight and seeing results, you're like, 'I want to see more!'" 

It emerged today that Khloe reportedly plans to release her own line of gym gear.

"Khloe's been looking around the gym and noticing what people are wearing, and she knows she can come up with a better fashion line," a source told The Fix.

They also said: "She wants to design a line that is dry fit clothing, but better, sexier and a bit wild. She thinks people should show a certain side of themselves while working out.

"She thinks the current stuff is so boring. She thinks that if the workout clothes were sexier, it would make people want to work out more."
