With the death toll from this morning's terror attacks in Brussels standing at 34 and still rising, one French paper has expressed the country's support for Belgium in a beautiful way.

Two blasts hit Zaventem airport at around 7am today, followed by a third explosion at Maelbeek metro station an hour later. The attacks come just four months after 130 people were killed doing a series of co-ordinated gun attacks and explosions around Paris on November 13, 2015.

This morning French newspaper Le Monde posted a beautiful and poignant cartoon to its social media feeds, drawn by its resident cartoonist Plantu.

The image, which shows a person painted in the colours of the French flag comforting someone painted with the black, yellow and red of the Belgium flag, was simply captioned "13 november… 22 mars" – the French translation for the date of both attacks.

Since being posted a few hours ago, the image has been shared and liked thousands of times on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Speaking about this morning's attacks, Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel called it "a day of tragedy, a black day" for the country.

Ariel goes on Ellen… and admits she STILL isn’t speaking to her mother

She’s only 18 – but actress Ariel Winter has had to do a lot of growing up in the spotlight.

And as if that wasn’t challenging enough, she’s also STILL not on speaking terms with her mother.

"It has been very sad for me, but at the same time it's been much better for me emotionally and physically to be on my own and have a better, safer household and support system," Ms Winter explained on yesterday’s Elle DeGeneres Show.

The Modern Family star lived with her 37-year-old sister Shanelle Gray until from the age of 14 – only recently moving out when she turned 18 earlier this year.

And speaking about her elder sibling, Ariel also gushed: "She's been the best part of my life. She really is my best friend. She's the most important thing to me."

She added: "She's been there for me through absolutely everything. And I just love her so much. I count on her more than anything."

The women’s mother, Chrisoula Workman, has been accused of emotionally and physically abusing her daughters – something that Ms Workman denies.

Indeed, their brother Jimmy Workman (also an actor – he played Pugsley in The Adams Family movies) has publicly defended their mother.

We all remember Holly Hagan's introduction to Geordie Shore. "I'm fit, I'm flirty and I have double F's."

Well now the reality star wants to lose one of those elements – her boobs.

Five years after undergoing a boob job, Holly has revealed that Star Mag that she no longer wants the attention that her ample assets bring her.

"I've been thinking about it for about a year. I got them done during my glamour modelling days and I feel I've put them to as good a use as possible.

"I don't really want that kind of attention anymore. I'm into fitness now and want to look a bit smaller. I like the shape, but they start at my neck and come right out to my armpits!"

The fitness fanatic also said that she wishes she waited before getting the surgery at 18 and is trying to urge young woman to stop and think about it until you're at least 21-years-old.

Holly has yet to set a date for her boob reduction surgery, but she seems pretty serious about getting them done.

This GAS creation helps brides go to the loo in their wedding dress

When we came across this contraption, our first thoughts were that it's a really good idea.

But the thing that really won it for us was the demo video that comes along with the Bridal Buddy.

As any brides (or brides-to-be) know, going to the loo in your wedding dress in no easy feat.

Dragging along your mother, sister, bridesmaid and the dog (OK, maybe not the dog) makes going to the toilet a extravagant affair when it really doesn't need to be.

Que the Bridal Buddy, which lifts up your dress and holds in it place while you do your business.

Now, for the demo. Watch and laugh ladies, because the whole scenario is more real than we think:

This year is turning out to be a pretty great one for Kildare man Dara O Briain.

In January it was announced that Dara will join Angela Scanlon presenting the reboot of Robot Wars and now he's adding another game show onto his list.

The show is named Go 8 Bit and will air on Dave this autumn. It will see celebrities join Dara and battle it out against each other in classic and new games such as Pac Man and Grand Theft Auto.

”Put a video game controller in the hands of a nun and she’ll turn into a trash-talking bloodthirsty monster,” he told VIP.

“Give a controller to a comedian and they’ll do that too, but be funny. In video games veritas, my friends.

“This show is a raucous, back-biting, properly competitive celebration of the world’s favourite pastime,” he added.

We don't know about you, but we can't WAIT for this to air.

First the Kardashians, now Tyga: Why the rapper is being SUED

It came to light today that the Kardashian sisters are being sued for breach of contract on their beauty line, and now Kylie's boyfriend Tyga is being sued for up to $75,000 (€66,000) worth of damage.

The rapper seems to be a bit of a dine and dash-er when it comes to renting homes as past landlords have described him as a "tenant nightmare," reports TMZ.

Ty rented a property for his company, Egypt Last Kings Clothing, but when his landlord came to visit he found the place abandoned.

The doors and walls were painted black, the ceiling tiles were painted over with abstract art and there were ink stains all over the concrete floor. The landlord also claims that ink was poured down the drain which is an environmental no-no.

According to the celeb site, Tyga owes more than $75,000 (€66,000) in damages and also five months rent which Tyga failed to pay.

Not ANOTHER celebrity divorce! Tamara moves into the spare room*

Mar 22, 2016

by Amber Saunders

Five weeks ago she posted a gushing Valentine's Day message on Instagram – but it seems that all is not well in the Eccelstone-Rutland marriage.

Reports are swirling that the 31-year-old mum-of-one is set to divorce Jay, her husband of three years, with his recent legal woes being cited as the 'final straw' for the billionaire heiress.

One source has told The Sun: "They live in the same house but are no longer in the same bedroom. She has been open that their marriage is effectively over."

The duo are parents to Sophia, who recently turned two.

"Her first priority is protecting Sophia and upholding the family’s reputation," the source added, "so she won’t make any announcements in a hurry."

A spokeswoman told the tabloid that "Tamara has no intention of discussing her marriage with the media at this time," however, another friend added that the couple is "in a different place to a year ago. It’s sad to see".

Ms Eccelstone has recently taken two holidays alone with her daughter, although last month she shared a loved-up Valentine's post with her 200,000 Instagram fans.

Wise men say only fools rush in. . . . What do those wise men know. I knew after our first dinner that you were the one. Thank you for sweeping me off my feet and loving me every day since. Love you always @jayrutland happy Valentines Day

"I knew after our first dinner that you were the one," she said. "Thank you for sweeping me off my feet and loving me every day since. Love you always."

The eldest daughter of Formula 1 chief Bernie Ecclestone furthermore posted an image of a giant wall of heart-shaped flowers that Jay gifted her.

Mr Rutland, a former stock-broker, appeared at a London court last week charged with assisting on-the-run cocaine trafficker James Tarrant. He did not enter a plea and will return to the same court on April 6.

The family famously lives in a 57-room, six-storey, €90million mansion on Kensington Palace – London's most expensive street.

Fresh start? Millie unpacks in new home – without Professor Green

Mar 22, 2016

by Amber Saunders

One month and two holidays later, Millie Mackintosh is finally back in the UK and ready to make a fresh start as a single lady.

The Made In Chelsea star confirmed her split from her husband of two years, rapper Professor Green, just last month, before jetting off to Australia for a beach holiday.

And just last week she headed to Portugal for a week-long exercise and juice cleanse with the so-called Juice Master, Jason Vale.

While we were intensely jealous of Millie's two sun-drenched getaways – and the many, many bikini photo ops – one thing we don't envy is the Post-Holiday Fear she must have been experiencing as she landed back in London over the weekend.

It seems the reality star has been doing her best to keep herself busy since returning home, and has already gotten to work on settling herself in to her new place.

After reportedly moving out of the newly renovated Edwardian home she had shared with her husband – real name Stephen Manderson – in London for the last year, Millie has set up shop elsewhere in London, and last night shared a snap of her neatly arranged clothes hanging on a rail.

"Productive evening," Millie captioned the snap…. which is giving us SERIOUS style envy, btw.
