Ah, Kanye. Yes, yes, we know he's become super annoying and we just can't stand him going on another ridiculous rant, but we have to say, he pulled this one out of the bag.

After the rapper tweeted a picture of him listening to music on Youtube, eagle-eyed Deadmau5 spotted that Kanye was using an illegal torrent site.

The DJ slammed Kanye in a bunch of tweets, but really, it's Kanye – and Deadmau5 probably should have known better.

Mr West ripped it out of him, and to ne honest, it's genius:

Ah, Kanye. Fair play with this one.

This weekend she is performing two sold-out shows, but she still has time to bring her son, Angelo for a trip around Dublin.

The superstar singer was spotted on Merrion Square, where she treated her little boy to a fun day in the playground.

The Hello singer arrived in the capital two days before her concerts in the 3Arena this Friday and Saturday night.

We're thinking Adele must have a soft spot for Dublin as she tweeted a fan from the city during the week to let him know she'll give him tickets to her concert.

The 27-year-old was seen with not a care in the world, free from paparazzi and fans, so she was able to take a calming trip to The Dead Zoo and the Natural History Museum with her son.

We hope she had a ball in our fair city, and takes many trips back here (because we totally want to meet her).

While we love shopping (loveeee), we can't help but get all flustered every time we go to pay for something.

You either can't find your purse, or your money falls out, or your bank card won't work… it can be super annoying.

But that's where Google's new app comes in. In a world of technology, it seems that we don't need cash anymore, right? All we need is an app.

The Hands Free app is debuting in San Francisco today and it sounds pretty damn good.

"Once you’ve installed and set up the app, Hands Free uses Bluetooth low energy, Wi-Fi, and location services on your phone to detect whether you’re near a participating store. When you’re ready to pay, you can simply tell the cashier, “I’ll pay with Google.” The cashier will ask for your initials and use the picture you added to your Hands Free profile to confirm your identity," said the website. 

While it'll only be available in America for the moment, it'll probably hit our shores pretty soon – so we can all say goodbye to our bank balance.

Since the break-up of their marriage, Millie Mackintosh and Professor Green haven't hid away from the public – and Millie is certainly not shy about the drama surrounding her.

The blonde beauty shared a photo on Instagram of her enviable beach body just a few weeks after she announced she is separating from her husband.

In the photo, Millie is seen lying down, bare faced and in a brown itsy-bitsy bikini, while enjoying a glass of rosé. She captioned the image, "rose and chill."

A glass of rosé and some friends by her side is seemingly all she needs to feel better about the split, as the clothing designer shared more photos of her and her friends having a fun night out in Australia. 

Sure a girl's therapy is a bottle of rosé and some BFFs, right?

David Beckham is the ultimate doting dad and we just can't get enough. 

The footballer shared a photo of his daughter Harper on Instagram where she is seen sporting a Manchester United kit.

Standing on her tippy toes, brushing her teeth, David captioned the photo: Teeth time a few hours ago and I walked in to the tippy toes and the United strip plus a perfect plait does that get any cuter."

No, David, it doesn't get much cuter than that. 

David recently came clean on why Victoria wants Harper to follow in her daddy's footsteps.

"I think Victoria's had 16 years of sitting on cold Sunday mornings on the sidelines, watching the boys. She'd like to sit indoors and watch Harper either play tennis or ballet or tap.

"But if ever Harper does want to go and play football, Victoria will support her."

They've been up and down, together and broken up, and honestly, we just can't keep up.

Steph and Jeremy's CBB housemate Scotty T has reportedly spilled the beans that Jez slept with another woman while he was in a relationship with Stephanie.

The newly-blonde then text the girl in question, Caroline Pope, and asked her out-straight if she did the dirty deed with her boyfriend.

Steph took a screenshot of the messages and then posted them on Twitter, before deleting them a while later.

In a string of texts, Steph said: "Is it true u slept with Jeremy, don't lie to me as Scott just said you did."

After the actress sent her more messages, Caroline finally replied and said: "Girl to girl yes I did."

Then Steph uploaded the snapshot on Twitter with the caption: "Yeah true. Girl to girl lol. Both vile. And liars. Sorry for hoping on true love. I'll never love anyone again."

Scott later took to social media to clear up what he said: "Just for the record that's not what was said..that has been fabricated to the max, I have no reason to drop people innit!! #betterthingstodo.

"I did not say that Jeremy cheated, he wasn't in a relationship at that point any way! But it's not true ano for a fact he loved her #jefanie."

Since the news broke that a remake of Baywatch was going to hit our screens, people began to wonder whether David Hasselhoff would make an appearance.

Well you can stop wondering, because it has been confirmed that the Hoff is going back onto the golden shores.

Dwayne Johnson, who is the lead in the new movie, took to his Facebook page to announce the news and spoke to David via videocall.

In the conversation, the Hoff said he was "born ready" to join the movie and he was going to "Rock and Hoff."

We doubt David is going to be prancing around with Dwayne and Zac Efron, but then again, you never know what will come out of this movie.

They've tried to keep their relationship as discreet as possible following the siting of them together after the Golden Globe awards, but we're afraid they can't keep it a secret any longer.

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom seem to have 'confirmed' their relationship as they put on the most affectionate display while in Hawaii.

And it seems that Orlando is totally smitten as he couldn't keep his eyes off Katy as they took a walk with friends.

We have to say, even though neither party has confirmed the relationship, it's pretty clear from these pictures that they're a very loved up pair. And how better looking can a couple get?!

Dirty Dancing is a total classic and never fails to give us all the feels whenever we watch it. 

Which is a LOT. 

So when we heard that they were doing a US TV remake, we were a little sceptical even though we knew we would totally be glued to our screens. 

And now it has been revealed that one of our fave actresses, Sarah Hyland, has joined the cast which already features Nicole Scherzinger and Abigail Breslin in the lead role as Baby. 

The Modern Family actress is believed to have landed the role of Baby's older sister, Lisa, which means she may not be up to too much dirty dance-moves in the film. 

ABC is preparing to make a three hour adaptation of the original classic and with the original screenwriter on board, we have hopes that it won't be absolutely terrible. 

There is still no word on who is going to take Patrick Swayze's role in the reboot and well, let's just say whoever he is, he has VERY big shoes to fill.

We know that Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis are very private so it is always a treat when they open up about their home lives. 

Speaking to Ellen DeGeneres, the 38-year-old  revealed just how scary it is to parent a high-energy toddler. 

"She tried to kill herself on a regular basis," the actor joked.

"Like, she doesn't realise that's a cliff and could be dangerous. She'll just jump off the thing. She doesn't know yet. You would think that they would come with instincts around fire and large falls, and they don't."

He also revealed how challenging it was to organise his low-key wedding to Mila without the media finding out. 

"We really didn't want helicopters at our wedding and it's a legitimate concern.

"So, I was posting things on social media that were in different locations to avoid the helicopters because we didn't want to be, like, screaming our vows at each other."

And they managed to succeed.
