She's never really been too shy about flaunting her gorgeous figure. Yup, 18-year-old superstar Kylie Jenner is loud and proud on her various social media platforms – and today has certainly been no different.

Donning a teeny, tiny, low-cut white vest teamed with black Moschino knickers, the reality TV star posted a snap to her Instagram page that showed off PLENTY of cleavage. 

Although, Ms Jenner herself was more concerned with the broken talon on her middle finger (no one's looking at your fingers, Kylie!): following a strawberry emojii, she used the caption "broken nail" along with a sad face. 

Understandably, the image has now notched up more than a million likes from her fans. 

In September, Kylie addressed the ongoing speculation that she had gone under the knife in order to achieve a fuller figure. 

Under a website post entitled Kylie Comes Clean: They're Real, she shared a video which showed her demonstrating the before and after effects of good underwear.

"I don’t share this with a lot of people, but everyone thinks I’ve gotten breast augmentation recently, but I haven’t," she explained to the camera.

"I just use the Bombshell by Victoria’s Secret. It’s life-changing. I’ve gotten all my sisters on it and all my friends."

She added: "This is all padding. I think it makes your breasts look great and girlie. This is it. No breast implants. No surgery. Nothing. It’s amazing."

OK, so we're not entirely sure how we feel about it being quite so Christmasy quite so early. 

November 6; we're only just over the excitement of Halloween when suddenly bags of yuletide delights and oodles of festive cheer has flooded shops, streets and homes.

Ho, ho, ho – or bah humbug?

Well, while another six weeks of glittery goodness and mulled wine-infused air might prove taxing, we're today feeling sufficiently good-humoured to embrace the spirit of the season.

And certainly, we couldn't help but get oh-so unreasonably giddy at the sight of the Brown Thomas Christmas window on Grafton Street.

Unveiled last night, this year the theme is Store Of Wonders. As BTs explains: "We have gone back to the simple pleasure of a great story well told and have decided to celebrate the art of storytelling.

"We are doing fairytales and enchanted stories with a Brown Thomas twist." 

Below, we bring you the gorgeous windows – which, it has to be said, are particularly stunning for 2015. In the meantime… 'jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way…'

Where are your Christmas lights right now? If you're like the rest of us, they're probably in a tangled ball of horror somewhere in your attic.

While most of us run screaming at the thought of being presented with a mound of tangled cables – especially if there's a broken bulb in there – some people actually get enjoyment out of solving those kinds of problems.

If you (God forbid) actually find untangling lights rewarding and simple, then Tesco wants to hear from you.

For the first time ever, the retail giant is looking for a full-time "Christmas Light Untangler" to work out of its Wrexham store in the four weeks leading up to Christmas.

Yes, this is a legit job application, and yes it's paid. Tesco promises a "competitive salary" for the lucky candidate.

Throughout December, customers will be able to bring their lights along to the store for a free untangling service, plus replacement of any broken bulbs.

So what will the successful candidate be like?

Well, aside from having a "passion" for all things festive (obvz), you'll need the ability to "untangle three metres of Christmas lights in under three minutes."

If anyone's looking to test their skills, we can point you in the direction of some very tangled lights. Fancy putting up our tree too?

Growing up as the only child of a young single mum, Justin Bieber was always incredibly close to his mother, Pattie Mallette.

When he made it big after being discovered on YouTube by Scooter Braun, Pattie left her home in Canada to go on the road with her young son.

But fast-forward seven years and the superstar singer admits his relationship with his mother is "pretty non-existing."

Justin blames the breakdown of the relationship on his excessive partying over the last few years. 

As well as two arrests for reckless driving – with alcohol and drugs suspected as the cause – Justin was charged with vandalism in 2014, a conviction which cost him €75,000 plus probation, anger management and community service.

The 21-year-old admits he avoided contact with Pattie during his lowest points because he didn't want to face up to his mistakes.

"I was distant because I was ashamed," he tells Billboard.

"I never wanted my mom to be disappointed in me and I knew she was. We spent some time not talking, so it takes time to rebuild that trust."

Even as far back as 2013, Pattie had begun to take issue with some of her son's lifestyle choices – most notably his growing collection of tattoos.

"That's one of those things that I don't necessarily have to like," she told Entertainment Tonight at the time.

"He's going to make his own decisions."

Pattie now lives in Hawaii, and though Justin is based in Los Angeles full-time, the pair have tentatively started talking again of late.

"It’s hard, but getting better," he says. "She’s an amazing woman and I love her."

He was the cutie from Derry – who went on to reach the finals of 2008's X Factor. Indeed, he finished third behind only Alexandra Burke and runners-up JLS.

And while Eoghan Quigg made an unsuccessful bid to represent Ireland at last year's Eurovision (not to mention a disastrous solo album offering early 2009) he's otherwise been absent from the music scene.

Still, here at SHEmazing! we were delighted to stumble upon his Instagram account – a platform on which he boasts some 6,000 followers.

There, the now 23-year-old shares snap-shots from his life – and it seems that he's a lover of football, working out, and tattoos.

And while back in the day he courted PLENTY of attention from the ladies (not to mention a certain fellow X Factor contestant Diana Vickers) it doesn't seem that the former singer has anyone special in his life right now.

Form an orderly queue, folks!

The hazards of wearing a plunge neck!

Jennifer Lawrence looked spectacular in a plum silk gown at the Berlin premiere of Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 on Wednesday, but she almost showed off a bit too much skin for the cameras.

The actress, who was dressed in Dior Haute Couture, was trying to pin a white rose on Donald Sutherland's lapel when she dropped it on the ground.

Bending down, Jennifer realised at just the last second that her dress was gaping open. Luckily she managed to cover her chest with her hand – but the panic on her face says it all, really:

Luckily the actress was sufficiently recovered from her shock by the time last night's London premiere rolled around – indeed, she went for an even more daring gown.

The black and red gown, again by Dior Haute Couture, was held together at the sides by nothing more than two gold chains.

J-Law is no stranger to on-camera embarrassments, of course.

Back in 2013 she tripped up a set of stairs while walking onstage to receive her Best Actress Oscar for Silver Linings Playbook.

And exactly a year later, she had another tumble – this time while walking onto the Oscars red carpet.

Needless to say, Jen declined to attend this year's Academy Awards…

With an 8,000-strong waiting list for the Naked Smoky palette earlier this year, it's no surprise that there would be some hype around Urban Decay's next product launch.

And with Gwen Stefani coming on board to design the cosmetic house's latest palette, we reckon you'll need to get your name on that list fast. 

The UD X Gwen palette officially launched this week in the US, though it won't be available for purchase until November 22.

Featuring a wide range of colours from nudes and neutrals to highly pigmented deep blacks, terracotta reds and one gorgeous creamy gold. the palette is a revelation.

According to Urban Decay founder Wende Zomnir, Gwen was extremely hands on in the design process, weighing in on everything from the choice of shades to the palette's gold metal casing.

Wende says the pair spent hours in her California home "talking makeup and working with her on EVERY detail of this launch."

Gwen seems equally delighted with the collaboration, based on shades that she uses to create her own make-up looks.

 

My Gwen palette faves of the moment. #udxgwen #motd

"We’ve made and created products that I actually wear every single day," she explained at the launch. 

"It’s the real thing. I’m obsessed with everything we’ve done, and I can’t wait to share it."

And judging by these tweets, she's not the only one who is obsessed:

Get the UD x Gwen palette in Debenhams and House of Fraser from December, or online on UrbanDecay.com from November 22.

North West and Penelope Disick are already the ultimate duo when it comes to Halloween costumes, and now they've moved onto joint birthday gifts too.

The adorable toddlers had something of a surprise for their grandmother Kris Jenner yesterday – a homemade gift in honour of her 60th birthday.

Taking to Instagram to post a picture of the sweet snap, the famous matriarch was full of pride for her adorable grandchildren.

No doubt she got a heap of high-cost gifts for her big day, but it was North and Penelope's cake and card that had her smiling.

 

A photo posted by @krisjenner on

"I'm not sure how to express my feelings for the best birthday gift ever," she wrote alongside a snap of a cake decorated with the words "Happy Birthday Lovey."

Except to say that in true Kris Jenner fashion, I BURST into tears…… Beyond the best from my two little ballerinas #penelope #northwest #family #grateful #blessed #memories #heart."

Earlier in the day, Kris got another tasty delivery – this one a breakfast platter of doughnuts and eclairs from her friend, author Sheila Kolker. 

But it wasn't all good news for the Kardashian momager, as yesterday she was also slapped with a multi-million euro lawsuit, over allegations she stole ideas for Kim's app from a US gaming company.

Kung Fu Factory allege that Kris contacted them to put together a "very specific" proposal for a Kardashian-themed game, for which they included information on how the characters would appear and how the game would be played by users. However she then proceeded to launch the app without crediting them.

The Kim Kardashian: Hollywood game made €185m in its first year alone, and the plaintiffs want a large chunk of that in exchange for their ideas and research.

Not a very happy birthday in that case.

Sam Claflin and his wife Laura Haddock were the picture of love last night as they took to the red carpet in London for the Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part Two premiere.

The pair were joined by an extra special guest – Laura's growing bump. Sam took the premiere as an opportunity to reveal that he and Laura are expecting a baby together, and the pair could barely hide their excitement at their happy news.

Clad in an embellished white Burberry V-necked gown and with her hair in a sleek low bun, Laura looked every bit the relaxed expectant mother, posing for photos with Sam and cradling her bump.

Sam and the Inbetweeners star married in 2013, and he has previously spoken out about "falling harder and deeper in love" with his wife every day.

The pair first met at an audition in 2011, and though it took four months before they connected again via Facebook, Sam said he knew instantly that Laura was special.

"'I didn't know anything about her other than that her name was Laura, she was very attractive and she seemed lovely," he said of their first encounter. 

"But I went home, woke my friend up at 7am and said, 'I just met the girl I want to marry. I love this girl like, I love her. She's perfect.'"

Sam is set to revive his role as Finnick Odair in the upcoming Hunger Games movie, released on November 20.

The long-anticipated John Lewis Christmas ad for 2015 has arrived, and boy, does it live up to the hype.

Last year we met Sam and his friend Monty the Penguin, and in 2013 it was The Bear and The Hare, but this year we have an all-human cast.

Our protagonist spends her evenings looking at the stars through her telescope, when she spots a lonely old soul – the Man on the Moon. Through the magic of Christmas she manages to make him feel closer to the rest of the world, and give him some festive cheer.

Norweigen songstress Aurora provides the soundtrack – a haunting acoustic version of Oasis's Half The World Away.

Watch it – and prepare for a few tears.
