It looks like massive congratulations are in order this morning following the news that one of the noughties' biggest reality stars has given birth!

Jersey Shore star, Jenni 'JWoww' Farley  has become a mum for the second time after welcoming a baby boy into the life she shares with husband Roger Mathews.

Speaking to E! News, a representative for the couple confirmed the good news saying that JWoww delivered "a healthy baby boy today at 6:03 p.m. EST."

The 30-year-old star, who gave birth to her first child – a girl named Meilani Alexandra Mathews in July 2014 – is said to be doing really well following her second delivery, and took to Instgram to share the news with fans.

Uploading an image of her son's name, JWoww wrote: "So blessed to welcome our precious son Greyson Valor Mathews. He arrived healthy at 6:03pm tonight and the most beautiful part is Roger got to deliver him with our doctor. Our family is complete!"

"I took so many videos and pics and want to share them all in one place," she added. "Download my app and over the next two weeks, I will be adding the most beautiful photos and videos!"

Unsurprisingly, the star was inundated with messages from delighted fans, with one writing: "Congratulations on the birth of your baby boy! What a beautiful name you have chosen for him!"

Congrats guys!

If you've ever seen Superbad, you'll know that the 2007 movie is absolutely chock-full of juvenile jokes and immature humour – hardly surprising given that the two main characters are still weeks from graduating high school.

However, it looks like the movie's writer, Seth Rogen, harbours some regrets when it comes to the movie's questionable script which he actually began writing at the age of 13.

Recently speaking to The Guardian newspaper, the 34-year-old writer and actor explained that he regrets the “blatantly homophobic” gags which were a constant throughout the movie which starred Jonah Hill and Michael Cera.

"It’s funny looking at some movies we’ve made in the last 10 years under the lenses of new eras, new social consciousness," he said when discussing the film which grossed $169.9 million worldwide.

"There’s for sure some stuff in our earlier movies and even in our more recent movies where even like a year later you’re like, ‘Eh, maybe that wasn’t the greatest idea'" he said.

While acknowledging that the, at times, homophobic script was delivered by highschool characters, he's not comfortable that the filmmakers were "to some degree glamourising that type of language in a lot of ways."

We wonder if he regrets those bizarre penis drawings as much…

Ellen has some of the biggest stars on the planet join her in studio on a regular basis, and yet our favourite interviews ALWAYS involve children.

The more ridiculous and rambling the better, so we struck gold when seven-year-old Kai –  a regular on the show at this stage – was interviewed by Ellen this week.

Having revealed he's working on a six-pack, confused 'suite' and 'sweet', and melted all our hearts by repeatedly pronouncing 'really' as 'wheely', Kai performed an energetic performance of Cake by the Ocean.

And after all THAT, the budding footballer was surprised by a number of LA Galaxy players including our very own Robbie Keane who looked almost as pumped to be meeting Kai as Kai did.

Taking to Instagram after the big moment, Robbie wrote: "It was an honour being on @theellenshow and of course meeting Kai… Huge fan of Ellen and everything she does to help others. Loving the Ellen boxer shorts."

Ladies, check this out.

OK we admit it, it sounds like something you might read on April the 1st, but all signs point to this bizarre story being legit.

According to reports, KFC fans can relive that famous finger-licking good moment as often as they want following the launch of the fast food chain's new nail polish range. Yes, you heard us.

Created by advertising firm Ogilvy & Mather and food technicians at McCormick – the good folk behind KFC’s spice and herb mix – this range of nail polish comes in two classic flavours, original and hot and spicy.

Speaking out amid the launch, KFC released a statement, advising: "To use, consumers simply apply and dry like regular nail polish, and then lick – again and again and again”, 

Launched as part of a campaign in Hong Kong, the polishes, which come in orange and nude shades, were available to the public for two weeks in order to establish the most popular flavour to push for mass production. 

"The recipe for our edible nail polish is unique and was specifically designed to hold the flavour, but to also dry with a glossy coat similar to normal nail polish," explained John Koay, creative director at Ogilvy & Mather.

Seriously, you still with us?

We're three weeks in to First Dates Ireland, and if you've tuned in from the start you'll know that Irish singles are absolute pros at creating toe-curlingly cringey moments, and tonight's batch of hopefuls are no different.

Look, we've all had that moment where we've forgotten someone's name or, even worse, called them by the wrong one, but at least our moment of horror wasn't caught on camera for the entire nation to cringe at like this poor young woman in tonight's episode.

Chatting to her potential future boyfriend over dinner and drinks, she broke the cardinal rule of a first date, and revealed she had actually forgotten his name by calling him by the WRONG one.

"Did I really say that?" she asked her disgruntled date whose name is SEAN. Sean, babes, Sean….not Shane.

And yes, you really said that.

Not only has she penned some of the most incredible tracks of the last ten years, won oodles of awards and broken numerous music records, Adele also looks like she'd be some serious craic.

Night on the tiles or night in front of the box, everyone knows you'd be guaranteed major bants with Adele which is why we've always considered her our secret BFF. 

Yes, we may have yet to meet her, and yes she definitely doesn't know we even exist, but it doesn't matter 'cos we're still total best friends…you know…deep down in our hearts?

Here are just ten times we knew Adele would slay as our BFF IRL.

1. That time she laid on some tough love after we took our dumbass ex back.

"We've made our bed now, ey Adele?"

2. That time she explained her snarky text to us, and we couldn't be mad for long.

"I'd have been angry too, boo." 

3. That time she got real about her failed relationship, and made us feel better about ours.

"Oh my God, us too!"

4. That time she gave the perfect response to our latest drama.

"Aw thanks! You've got our back, don't you Ad?"

5. That time she knew our co-worker was definitely in the wrong this time.

"I know! That's what we thought!"

6. When she FINALLY told us what happened on THAT night out.

"Oh my God, we knew it!"

7. That time she had the BEST reaction to the joke we told in front of our crush.

"Perfect!"

8. That time she hung on our every word about last night's no-pants-dance.

"Omg, more!"

9. That time we compared ourselves to her and she was having none of it.

"Shaaaaadup!"

10. That time she said exactly what we wanted to hear on a classic hangover Sunday.

"Same!"

Happy Birthday secret BFF, we love you!

Look, most of us are pretty jealous of Kendall Jenner.

From her stunning good looks to her ever-soaring career, the 20-year-old runway model has the public eating out of the palm of her hand, and it looks like iconic 90s supermodel Cindy Crawford is no exception.

We know, we know – if SHE'S jealous, what hope do we have?

Opening up about the reason for her green-eyed envy while chatting to Cosmopolitan, Cindy explained that she was jealous of the new generation's connection with their fans through the likes of Instagram and Twitter.

"I'm so jealous," she admitted. "I feel they have this direct way to communicate with their audience that my generation didn't have.”

"I think it's a responsibility, but it's also a great tool, because they really can be their own publicists," she said of Kendall's Instagram account which boasts a whopping 56.1 million followers.

Explaining the benefit of Kendall and Gigi's social media platforms, the 50-year-old model insisted: "They can present themselves the way that they want to be presented."

When Cindy Crawford is jealous of you, you know you've made it, right?

Kylie Jenner is a lot of things, but rapper she really, really ain't.

That, however, didn't stop the young reality star from lending her voice to a rap track which has been uploaded to SoundCloud by producer Burberry Perry,

In audio which is going to haunt us for years to come, the 18-year-old reality star can be heard 'talk-rapping' on a track which comprises one-sixth of Burberry Perry's six-track self-titled EP, and also features Lil Yachty, Justie Skye and Jordyn Woods.

Beautiful Day is a remixed R-rated version of the theme song to TV show Mister Rogers' Neighbourhood, and it reminds us that no matter how much you might love doing something, that doesn't automatically mean you should.

Kylie, we're thinking you leave the beats to Tyga next time…

Ladies, we don't want to send you completely over the edge given we still have a day and a half of the working week left to get through, but we have some pretty big news for you this afternoon.

It's time for fans of cult classic, The Craft, to start reapplying their plum lipstick because we're about to find out what happened the girls who had us casting spells in our bedroom back in the day.

Responding to the rumours that we are set for a sequel of the 1996 hit film, producer Douglas Wick said: "We wouldn’t so much call it a remake as a ’20 years later’"

"There will be callbacks to the original movie, so you will see there is a connection between what happened in the days of The Craft, and how these young women come across this magic many years later," he revealed. 

Now ladies, before you pass out with excitement, it still hasn't been confirmed whether any of the original cast will be reprising their roles, but that hasn't stopped us doing 'Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board' all morning in Shemazing! HQ.
