With her slicked back hair and tanned skin, Selena Gomez looked totally at home on the beach in Miami over the weekend.

It's easy to forget that, just five months ago, the singer was dealing with criticism for her body shape, so much so that she had to take to social media to retaliate. "There's more to love," she said at the time.

 

I love being happy with me yall #theresmoretolove

And while it's clear Selena has been hitting the gym, her signature curves were still very much on show as she jumped in the ocean in a black American Apparel one-piece swimsuit.

The high-cut suit, with a low back and thin crossover straps, showed off Selena's shape to perfection.

It has, of course, already completely sold out from American Apparel's online store.

No doubt aware of the papparazzi presence, Selena couldn't hide her smile as she came up for air.

Visible on the singer's left thigh was a new inking, a stylized version of the Hindu symbol for 'Om,' a chant which is repeated to calm the mind during meditation.

Selena has a growing collection of body art, including the number 76 in Roman numerals on the nape of her neck, 'God Who Strengthens Me' on her left hip, a musical note on her right wrist, and 'Love Yourself First' written in Arabic on her ribcage.

The Hindu symbol is an unexpected choice for the 23-year-old, who is a strong believer in the Christian faith, and a member of LA's Hillsong Church alongside her ex Justin Bieber,

Speaking of Justin, he must be kicking himself after seeing these latest photos…

The pap-favourites of the moment are certainly a stellar lot. 

Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, Angie and Brad, Kate Middleton, Cheryl Fernandez Versini, and – of course – the Kardashian-Jenner women.

They all command attention… and they certainly send waiting photographers into a frenzy whenever they're spotted in public.

What we hadn't considered until now, however, is that Jessica Simpson is such hot-property in the world of paparazzi swarms. 

Last night she hit Craig's, a swish steakhouse in fancy-pants West Hollywood, with her former professional athlete husband, Eric Johnson.

And suffice to say that when they left – via a back-door, natch – the dozens of waiting photogs went crazy.

Jessica, 35, is still under the spotlight following her controversial "drunk" Home Shopping Network appearance.

Indeed, dining at Craig's represented Ms Simpson's first foray into public since the incident.

Dressed casually in black – complete with Louboutin sandals – and carrying a €2,000 Saint Laurent tote, the singer and businesswoman came across as somewhat dazed and confused – the result, no doubt, of the mass of waiting cameras. 

However, at least her handsome husband was on hand to guide her to their waiting vehicle, subsequently allowing her to sit in the front seat alongside the driver.

Jessica Simpson — Dazed in Paparazzi Storm
Jessica Simpson was swarmed by paparazzi Monday night, and it understandably left her a little "deer-in-the-headlights."

Singer Azealia Banks has something of a reputation for her short temper, and things really got the better of her on a plane journey last night.

The star was flying from New York to LAX on Monday evening, and wasn't happy when she had to wait for other passengers to gather their luggage before leaving the plane.

When the flight landed in the early hours of this morning, the singer reportedly made a beeline for the front exit from her first class seat in the sixth row.

However a French man and woman were blocking her way as they took their luggage from the overhead bins.

During the exchange, the man "put his hand out" in front of Azealia, which she didn't take well. According to eyewitness reports published today by TMZ, the 212 singer "spit in the man's face, punched him in the face and clawed at his shirt."

A fellow passenger made a video of the altercation that followed, which shows Azealia trying to pull her luggage out of a Delta flight attendant's hands and eventually calling him a "f*****g f**got."

Police were called (unsurprisingly) and stopped the singer at baggage claim after she exited the plane. Luckily for Azealia, who made headlines last year for her racially charged Twitter rant against Iggy Azealea, the French couple agreed not to press charges.

Taking to Twitter just now, Azealia told a very different story, claiming the French man hit her "in the face."

And her response to anyone who didn't believe her?

Right so.

On Monday night, top model Jourdan Dunn was at LouLou’s nightclub in Mayfair to join the likes of Cara and Suki for a star-studded fashion bash.

Unfortunately for this Victoria’s Secret model however, things did not go according to plan.

On her way out of the venue a model and her friend were surrounded by paparazzi trying to get a shot of the pair.

As they tried to make an exit from Love Magazine’s Fashion Week party the 25-year old’s pal got on the wrong side of one photographer and the two ended up coming to blows.

In a video posted by TMZ, the model can be seen trying to stop her friend from engaging with the paparazzi but it clearly did not work out well.

While it is not clear from the video what started the fight, it does become pretty clear how it all ended, with one photographer on the ground and Jourdan hopping into a car for a quick exit.

The name of Jourdan’s friend is not known although some media outlets speculate that he could be a publicist. 

However he didn’t appear to be at her side earlier in the day when she attended the Burberry show at Kensington Gardens.

Also spotted at the party, but decidedly not in the same video, was Princess Eugenie. The royal was seen arm in arm with Cara Delevingne as they left the party alongside actress Clara Paget.

Last weekend marked London Fashion Week, where Cara and St Vincent were the couple of the moment and plenty of designers showcased their Spring/Summer collections for 2016.

One of our favourite things about fashion week, aside from the celebs and all of the fabulous designs being paraded down the runway, is the street style. The fashion-crowd are pretty easy to spot on their way in and out of shows and there are always so many of them.

Hannah Ewens of Vice realised that it was beginning to feel like anyone with a smartphone who was able to use #OOTD could be a fashion blogger. So, she decided to set herself a challenge at last year's London events:

“Spend €13 a day on the three dumbest outfits I could put together – one each for Friday, Monday and Tuesday – and see if I could get papped by one of those [fashion] people.”

As it turns out, trying to find a LFW appropriate outfit on such a tight budget can be tricky. So Hannah actually resorted to digging through skips at one point.

Her purple fuzz and phone charger ensemble seemed to do the trick though. She caught a few photographers attention outside one venue and they were curious about where she got her ‘pieces’.

“I told them most of my outfit was vintage Vivienne Westwood, because she's the only one I know.

They all nodded enthusiastically, and one man said: "Oh yes, I remember this bag. A big one that year."

She also noted that the posing thing is not as complicated as people would have us believe: “All I had to do was tilt my head down, smile coyly and slump, with my hand resting wherever felt sassiest.”

While she did have her picture taken by plenty of photographs she thought she had fooled, Hannah was only mildly disappointed to discover they didn’t feature on any serious fashion sites.

It's a significant moment in any relationship, the first time you include your new beau in one of your Instagram snaps. 

And in the case of celebrities, of course, the first inclusion of a new partner on IG carries even more weight, as it will essentially end up on every corner of the Internet. 

It doesn't seem like Gwyneth Paltrow cares though as her and her new boyfriend, Glee producer Brad Falchuk, decided to post the cutest picture together on the social networking site. 

Now these two were first linked together in August 2014, when Gwyneth first split from Chris Martin, and very steamy photos were taken while the pair were away together. 

But it was thought to have fizzled out after they were never seen in public together again. 

Last night, at the premiere of Scream Queens – which Brad co-created – Mr Falchuk posted a semi-blurry snap with Gwyneth on his account, captioned, "My date and I."

How cute!

In the meantime, Ms Paltrow posted a shot with Scream Queens actor Nick Jonas: “My kids might be #jealous about this sighting,” she wrote.

We can see things heating up in this new relationship!

For anyone worried about ageing lines and wrinkles or dreaded acne scars, you can now jump for joy as there's a new filler on the market called Bellafill

Bellafill is recently FDA approved, and is also the first of it's kind. 

Yes, we know fillers for fine lines and wrinkles have been around donkey's years but Bellafill claims to safely last for five years as opposed to six to nine months like other fillers. 

The filler was first introduced to treat nasolabial folds (which are your smile lines and so on), but it is also the first FDA-approved dermal filler for acne scars to hit the market. 

The brand received approval based on its study that showed 90 percent of 1,008 patients who used Bellafill treatments for fine lines retained effects after five years.

Dermatologist, Ruth Tedaldi, commented on the results of Bellafill: “The results from this nasolabial fold study provide strong supporting evidence of the long-term safety and expected long-term effectiveness profile that may be experienced by acne scar patients treated with Bellafill." 

"This is because the method of use and type of skin in treating nasolabial folds and acne scars are similar.”

Right now, popular fillers on the market are made up of hyaluronic acid. Bellafill, on the other hand, is mostly composed of collagen and PMMA (polymethylmethacrylate microspheres – what a mouthful!), which work hand in hand. 

After injection, the body absorbs the collagen, while the PMMA sticks around to plump the areas. 

Dr. Ruth says if you're worried about side effects, there's only potential minimal ones like bruising, swelling or redness – but they will go down in a few days.

All of the stars of Orange is the New Black hit the red carpet for Sunday night’s Emmy awards. Before Uzo Aduba could take home her much-deserved award however, one of her co-stars was busy sending fans into a frenzy she was quizzed on the carpet.

Entertainment Tonight asked actress Taryn Manning a question that few of us had thought to end propose, because now we just cannot stop thinking about it: Will Britney Spears be on OITNB?

In case you forget this important moment in pop culture history, Britney and Taryn starred alongside each other in the classic noughties film Crossroads. Which was written by Grey’s Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes, just FYI.

So, Taryn was asked if she would want to see Britney behind bars at some point on the show. Her answer:

"Of course! I want Britney everywhere," Manning said. "She's such a good actor I feel they can do anything with her. I was so impressed working with her.”

While some might doubt Britney’s acting chops, because to be fair the OITNB cast are quite amazing, Taryn gave her the seal of approval:

“She's so sincere in her acting. [With Crossroads] everyone was maybe hoping she wouldn't be good, but she was great."

Britney has just finished filming for a different series, Jane The Virgin, so perhaps this may actually be a reality at some point in the future. Taryn wasn’t quite sure who exactly Britney could play, although we’re sure fans have a few ideas, but she could share some Crossroads memories with us.

“There’s a very specific day [that stands out to me when I look back on the movie] — I was like ‘Sing, sing for me,’ right?- she sang the National Anthem for me in the car — for us — and it was the most perfect thing I’ve ever heard”

We always suspected that despite her petite-frame, Amy Huberman is one seriously tough-cookie. 

And she'll be putting that to the test tomorrow: the 35-year-old actress is filming her brand-new action flick in the capital… and things are about to get seriously feisty. 

Lining up alongside an all-star Irish cast – although the gorgeous male lead is an Englishman – Amy confirmed in conversation with SHEmazing! that she will play a 'goodie' in the forthcoming feature-length film.

With a working title of The Fixer, the Dubliner added that her former rugby player husband didn't try and offer up any combat tips.

"He finds the whole thing quite funny I think," she laughed.

"I've never done an action film before," she also admitted. "It's an Irish production, though initially I didn't know I'd actually be filming here.

"I only have one fight scene – it's tomorrow – so thankfully I'm not bruised today. 

"We choreographed the whole thing the other day… and I'll be fighting a fella too!"

However, Ms Huberman added with a sigh of relief: "My stunt double will take any of the major hits, which is fine by me."

The mum-of-two – who has also penned several successful novels – was on hand this afternoon to launch the third annual Bord Gáis Energy Student Theatre Awards.

She will be on the judging panel for 2016, and the accolades aim to recognise drama in primary (3rd to 6th classes) and secondary schools.

With a total of 12 categories ranging from best overall school musical to best set design, the deadline for this year’s competition is Friday January 29.

"This is a fantastic competition which recognises all the hard work and effort that students, teachers and parents are putting into schools drama around Ireland," Amy explained. 

"It’s a great platform for anyone wanting to participate in the arts and I would have absolutely loved to have taken part in something like this when I was a student."

And in the meantime, Ms Huberman furthermore told SHEmazing! that Bolt, the screenplay she is penning based on her second novel I Wished For You, is very nearly finished. 

"We don't have a cast just yet," she admitted, "but it will be an Irish cast and yes, I do have my dream line-up in mind!"

A 6-year old girl has been making heart melt all over the world since her mom uploaded a video which showed her asking her mom and dad to be friends be kind to one another.

Sherry uploaded the video to her Facebook earlier this week which showed her daughter Tiana pleaded with her mom to get along with her dad.

Sherry and Tiana’s dad are divorced and she told Buzzfeed News she and Tiana’s dad had been “exchanging words in an unkind tone” when Tiana overheard them.

The resulting video has gone viral, as has Tiana’s heartfelt message to her parents:

“I just want all of us to be friends, and if I can be nice I think all of us can be nice too. I’m not trying to be mean but I’m trying to do my best in my heart, nothing else than that.

I want you mom, my dad, everyone to be friends. I want everyone to be smiling.”

Sherry said that her daughter brought her to tears made her feel guilty for the argument. She also said she couldn’t believe the response Tiana’s message has gotten.

“Tiana is very outgoing, has lots of energy, [and is a] very fast learner,” she said. “She is the only purpose in my life. Without her I wouldn’t be where I am today.”

Zendaya Coleman is not like your regular 18-year-old.

She is probably one of the most mature teenagers to ever walk the planet and in a new interview (and awesome photoshoot) for Galore magazine, she opens up about how she deals with racism and how she stays so grounded. 

"My parents always taught me that there is knowledge in your voice," she explained of the infamous Giuliana Rancic comments on her hair at the 2015 Oscars red carpet. 

"I think the way we react to things is a big indicator of our character and what type of person we are." 

And she's so right, as many young celebs aren't able to deal with media attention (we're looking at you Lindsay Lohan). 

"I just had too much respect for myself and didn't want to prove everybody right that's waiting for me to be ignorant and do something dumb, so I took my time until I thought of the best way I could address the comments."

She discusses more about how she prides herself in her honesty throughout the interview and why she believes she needs to stay true to herself on social media. 

"I realised that if I don't like something, I can change it. If I don't feel comfortable with something, then I have a voice to say it's not cool."

We love Zendaya for her no-nonsense attitude to life and think she's a great role model for teenagers growing up, both in and out of the spotlight.
