Let's be honest, when you're out for dinner with bae or go for brunch with the girls, we all take a nice food photo for Instagram. It's kinda become a habit for every twentysomething gal.

And while we might moan about how pretensions it seems, we all love getting the picture juuust right.

Well, now there's an app that can turn your brunch into a meal for champions.

Foodie has taken food photo filters to the next level and you can choose a filter based on what kind of food you're eating.

Munching on something chewy? There's a filter for that. Biting into something crispy? There's a filter for that, too.

But the best thing of all? The angle.

We all know the best food shots are from over-head, but unfortunately we are all too morto to climb onto a chair in the restaurant to take the perfect pic.

Well, Foodie has a built-in monitor that will tell you the perfect angle at which to snap, so you can get the best IG photo you can.

So, now you can spend a lot less time taking photos of your food and actually eat it while it's still warm.

We all know Nicki Minaj isn't one to take the high road so when a security guard was using his phone during her concert, she abruptly took it off him and threw it across the stage. Ouch.

The 33-year-old was playing in Dubai on Friday night when she noticed a bouncer off-stage using his phone. After giving a very aggravated look, the rapper stormed over to him, took the phone and flung it, before continuing on with her performance.

And of course, Twitter erupted after the incident:

He's going to think twice before ever using his phone now!

One man was very lucky yesterday when his girlfriend decided to cook breakfast for him.

But, this breakfast wasn't just your average scrambled eggs on toast – oh, no – it was a woven bacon Easter egg with a FULL fry-up inside. Wow.

Added to the Facebook page, The Fry Up Police, Jason Francombe shared the picture to much delight.

"When your girlfriend makes you an Easter egg out of woven streaky bacon and then fills it with fried eggs, sausages, beans and hash brown… Jordan Francombe is a lucky guy."

Lucky, indeed. If only every partner could cook this up on Easter Sunday, we wouldn't even care about the chocolate anymore.

We all kinda gathered that Kim Kardashian would have done anything to be famous back in the day but, now there are claims that Kim and momager Kris Jenner deliberately leaked the sex tape to make her famous.

A new tell-all book about the reality family, Kardashian Dynasty says that Kim signed a contract with Vivid Entertainment to leak her sex tape with singer Ray J in 2003, according to Page Six.

The author of the book, Ian Halperin included a quote from an inside source in the "adult film industry" who said, "a mutual friend of Kim and Paris [Hilton] had advised her that if she wanted to achieve fame, a sex tape would be the way to go.

"Kim had discussed the idea of producing a tape with her family beforehand."

The explosive book also claims that Kris was the one who initially "engineered" the leak in order to give Kim and her family some limelight.

"It was Kris who engineered the deal behind the scenes and was responsible for the tape seeing the light of day," the source said.

The author also said that "it is clear that Vivid would not have announced plans to distribute Kim’s tape without a clear indication from the family that they would give the go-ahead once they had come to terms on a price."

We all know Kim is sick of hearing about her sex tape, so we can only imagine what she has to say about this book, true or not…

The Kardashian/Jenner/Wests certainly went all out for Easter yesterday and it seems that Kanye was keeping one song to himself until the special day came around.

The rapper debuted his new single Ultralight Prayer on Soundcloud, and let's just say it's not what we expected.

The song features on his album The Life of Pablo but the rapper decided to mix it up a tad by slotting in clips by Kirk Franklin, an American gospel musician.

Have a listen here and let us know what you think.

The day after Easter was always a love/hate time with your parents. You JUST received more chocolate than you weigh, and yet your mam or dad would give out to you for eating too much, or getting sick if you take one more bite.

Of course, we always sneaked a little into our room to eat at night time (which, looking back probably caused all of those nightmares) but, now that we're adults, we can eat and drink as much as we want. Yay!

And if you have some lovely Créme Eggs leftover from yesterday, why not have a little party with your Netflix account tonight and indulge yourself with this Créme Egg Mojito.

We know what you're thinking. This is possibly just TOO MUCH. But, take a look at the recipe here (and then look at the fancy pictures) and we're sure you'll probably end up really wanting it (because we totally do):

Ingredients:

  • 25ml Barcardi
  • 25ml chocolate syrup
  • Sprig of mint
  • 25ml 1:1 Gomme syrup
  • Dash of lime juice
  • 25ml soda
  • 1 Créma Egg

 

Method:

Crush mint and place in glass with other ingredients. Stir with crushed ice, top with more ice and garnish with ½ egg and mint.

The creation comes from a bar's across London, but we'll settle having it tonight in our PJ's.

During her performance last night, Adele admitted something that not many women would admit to. She grew a beard.

Throughout her 2012 pregnancy, the Hello singer admitted that her hormones went crazy and she ended up growing a bit of facial fuzz, and called it Larry.

“When I got pregnant I had so much testosterone in me that I grew a beard. I only cropped it last night. It’s actually true.

“I’m not telling a joke. I actually have a beard, but I’m not proud of it. I call it Larry," she told her Glasgow audience.

Now, anyone that has been pregnant knows that it's not uncommon to grow some excess hair due to excess male hormones in your body, but Adele just thought it was all a bit of a laugh and compared her beard to her partner's.

“There are a lot of good beards here. My man’s got a good beard. He trims it sometimes in the summer. It really annoys me – but I do have a beard myself so I can understand when it gets hot.”

Ah, Adele. You're some woman for one woman.

We ALL remember this lad from yesterday, right?

Just as the President of Ireland was making his way through O Connell Street, the army officer decided to have a quick chat on the phone.

Of course the whole country (and every Irish mammy) went into outrage over it (well, we LOVED it) but as it turns out, he was actually doing his job.

A spokesperson for the Defence Forces told the Irish Independent that the man is an army press officer, and was just doing his job at the time.

But now, these photos of the same officer have made their way to the Internet and they will really make you proud to be Irish.

The officer is pictured kneeling to speak to Sheila O Leary, whose father and mother both fought in the Rising in 1916.

Sheila’s parents were Thomas Byrne and Lucy Agnes Smyth, who were both in the GPO during the Easter rebellion. 

Ms O Leary was pictured holding her father’s medals and talking to the officer as she waited for the centenary parade to start.

Many flocked to Twitter to say that there was outrage over the phone picture, but nobody stops to mention that he was the only officer to sit and talk to Sheila while she was on her own.

What a nice guy!

Vogue Williams has slammed “jealous” Kian Egan after he voiced his views on Boyzlife last week.

The Voice of Ireland mentor is clearly not one bit happy about the new band, and when speaking on The Big Breakfast recently, he said they were doing it all wrong. 

“It’s not the right way to do it. I think it was pretty unfair on the fans to make them think that [the bands were uniting.]

“It’s a bit of an off one. You know, a member of Westlife who left the band after four years decides to use half the name for whatever it is they’re doing. If Westlife ever got back together again, it would be Weslife. It would be the four guys who stood in Croke Park the day Westlife ended."

However, Kian's words hit a nerve with Brian's ex-wife Vogue Williams, and in her most recent Sunday World column, she gave Kian a piece of her mind.

“It was actually six years and without doubt, the most successful period for the band, including 12 number one singles. Westlife only enjoyed a further two number one singles after Brian left.

“Kian was pretty vocal in his attack. Thinking Brian doesn’t have the right to use the Westlife name is frankly just plain stupid. I suspect that Kian may have a case of the green-eyed monster. In fairness to Kian, I’d be raging too if I hadn’t thought of the idea myself, seeing how successful it’s been."

Ouch! There seems to be no love lost there.

From the beginning of the year there has been so much drama with the Kardashians/Jenners that we don't even know where to start.

But one person certainly in the middle of it all is Blac Chyna.

From being Kardashian enemy No.1, to dating Rob, the former exotic dancer certainly wiggled her way into the reality family's life – and it doesn't look like she's going anywhere soon.

According to TMZ, the mother-of-one wants a cameo appearance on the show (and let's be real, it would be so juicy) but she's not going cheap.

Blac has asked for $1 MILLION for her short appearances, which seems like a helluva' lot – but the money isn't all she wants.

The website claims that as well as the cash, Ms Chyna wants a non-exclusive contract because she wants her own reality show with Rob in the future.

We can't see that happening anytime soon, especially with Kris Jenner practically running E!, but only time will tell on this one.

From the end of last year we've had every storm imaginable, from Barney to Gertrude, it seemed like they just didn't stop.

However, one Irish weather woman became a national hero when she battled it out with Storm Desmond for a once in a lifetime weather report.

Teresa became so popular that many gifs and memes were made, as well as song remixes and even a ceili dance.

Well, one Sky News weather woman is trying to take our very own Teresa Mannion's place by conducting a very similar news cast.

Joanna Simpson became the UK's national hero overnight as she was almost swept away by Storm Katie.

Very much like Teresa's report, Joanna tried to keep a straight face as the wind bashed against her and blew her hair away.

We have to say, we think Teresa's report won by a long shot as she had to battle the rain as well, but who knows, maybe we need a competition to equal things out.

There's only one weather woman able to brave a bristly storm, and that's Teresa Mannion.

*Exclaimer: This is purely for fun and we really feel sorry for Joanna having to work in that weather.*

Break-ups are bad for everyone. But, when mothers are involved they can just turn nasty.

Zayn Malik is set to sell the home he bought for his ex-fiancee Perrie Edwards' mother.

The 23-year-old singer bought the house for Perrie's mother, Debbie, when they were engaged, but after their break-up last summer, Zayn wants to get rid of the property.

The Sun reports that Zayn is even threatening to take legal action if Debbie doesn't comply with the move, as he wants to banish "every last trace" of Perrie from his life.

"Zayn wants Debbie out," a close source said. "He has told her that he wants the house back and ordered her to leave.

"He has issued Debbie with an ultimatum – get out or he will take her to court," the insider told the paper.

We don't know about you but we can't see this ending well!
