We all know Kanye West is no stranger to tooting his own horn, so it's no surprise the world-famous rapper has found something else to celebrate about himself and his wife in recent days.

Speaking to Steve Harvey during a recent radio interview, the Life of Pablo singer paid tribute to the boundaries he and Kim have broken as a 'mixed couple'.

Gushing about his wife of two years and the relationship they share, 38-year-old Kanye insisted: "She’s breaking boundaries on so many levels. You can’t give me an example of as popular of a mixed couple."

"I got friends that have had white wives that before there was a Kimye, they’d go to the amusement park and people would be talking down to them, treating them a certain kind of way. She’s broke boundaries with that," he insisted.

Taking himself out of the equation for a moment (No really, he actually did), Kanye then focussed on Kim's achievements in the world of fashion and beauty.

"She’s broke boundaries in fashion, where designers wasn’t trying to make clothes with women with shape. And now, they’re all about really embracing and empowering women… Can’t nobody disrespect my wife, ever."

If you say so, Kanye.

Two months ago, Coronation Street favourites Alan Halsall and Lucy-Jo Hudson announced their separation which shocked many of their fans. However, last week they were spotted at a football match together.

In their statement on the split, they said that they were always going to be friends, so going to a football match together was no big deal… Until they started kissing.

Of course, this sent their fans into a frenzy with many pondering if they were just really good friends (wink, wink) or if they were officially back together.

Well, Alan's post to Lucy-Jo on her birthday today pretty much confirms that they're back to being man and wife.

The actor took to Twitter and wrote: "Happy Birthday to my beautiful wife @LucyJo_Hudson who is 33 today.

"Love you so much darling, and cannot wait for Paris."

Oooh, it seems a romantic getaway is on the cards, too.

Lucy-Jo retweeted the sweet message along with a line of sparkly hearts and the hashtag #luckygirl.

We're so glad they're back together.

We all know what it's like to feel super-awks on a night out, but at least the moments where we look like a spare t*t at a wedding aren't caught on camera for millions to see like poor Demi Lovato this week.

Despite looking like a million dollars and rocking this year's Met Gala theme to the max, the former Disney star admitted that she felt completely out of place at the New York event, and shared an image to explain exactly why.

Taking to Instagram last night, the 23-year-old singer uploaded a picture of Nicki Minaj throwing the star some serious shade as she approached to get in a photo on the red carpet.

Commenting on the moment, the Heart Attack singer wrote: "This picture pretty much summed up my first and probably last met' before hashtagging the words 'cool' 'so f*cking awkward'. 'not for me', 'sweatpants', 'forensic files' and 'whats good'.

Demi later edited the post and added: "P.S. some of y'all need to learn how to take a joke.. I'm obviously laughing at the fact that 1. I look incredibly awkward and 2. That the shade being thrown in this picture actually gives me life."

In an effort to show that they have Demi's back on this one, one fan went to town on the Anaconda singer, writing: "Nicki is just f*cking ill-mannered, don't pay attention to that ugly b*tch, because Demi looks stunning."

Oooh, we can't wait to see how this one pans out.

Beyonce's Lemonade has made the headlines all week long, mainly because it sparks so many questions about Jay Z's infidelity.

Did he really cheat? Who IS Becky? Why are they not wearing their wedding rings anymore?

But now, a source close to the couple told Us Weekly that the rapper is hitting the studio to make an album of his own.

“Jay is working on an album telling his side of things," the insider explained.

Bey's 60-minute art film addressed long-standing rumours of Jay Z's cheating with lyrics like “This is your final warning / You know I give you life / If you try this s‑‑t again / You gon’ lose your wife."

“The album says it all. It explains how she and Jay got through their problems. The good outweighed the bad, so she gave him a second chance.”

If Jay does create a new comeback album, we're sure it's going to be a great one and maybe we'll finally find out who this Becky REALLY is.

If you are, or ever have been, in a long-term relationship you'll know that there eventually comes a point when you and your other half actually need to pencil in some 'us-time' instead of letting it just happen naturally.

It's no big deal really, but it definitely helps if everyone is on the same page when it comes to the timing of your romantic endeavours, so when Pink recently revealed that she and her partner of ten years still struggle on this front, we KNEW we were in good company.

Chatting to Ellen, the Just Like Fire singer admitted that she and Carey most recently argued because he faceplanted after the singer set about creating a romantic night for both of them.

Recalling the scene for Ellen and her audience, the 36-year-old singer said: "The other night I said, 'Are you going to stay up tonight?'"

"And he said, 'I would like to.' I said, 'I don't really know what that means." she recalled. "Should I light candles and open wine and put on a show? Like, are we going big here? Or are you going to fall asleep again?'"

The star then admitted that she created the perfect romantic setting only to realise Carey hadn't managed to stay awake for it – something all of us have lived through, right ladies?

So it seems that we're not the only ones hooked on the contouring trend.

Instagram make-up artist Teaflego, introduced the beauty trend to her 80-year-old grandmother, and she just can't get enough of it.

Teaflego's grandma Livia, or GLAM-ma as she's known to her fans, shares tutorials on her granddaughter's IG page, and she's a total hit all over social media.

And she's also gone one step further by introducing the technique to her friends in her nursing home.

 

A video posted by makeupbyteaflego (@teaflego) on

Teaflego wrote on her IG page: "My GLAM-MA has made a new trend in the nursing home!!! A bunch of 80-year-olds want to contour and glow. LOL."

And we don't blame them because how FAB does Livia look?!

"In her 80's she has become a star. She is grateful, she loves you and she has a message for you: THERE ARE NO UGLY WOMEN, ONLY LAZY ONES!"

Well, she certainly has an opinion! We just hope that we're as glam at 80.

We hail Emma Watson here at Shemazing! HQ for many reasons, but one reason is her fashion choices.

She's constantly thinking outside-of-the-box when it comes to her style statements, and this year's Met Gala look was no different.

The actress worked the red carpet in a Calvin Klein and Eco Age dress that stood out from the crowds with its unique design of a bustier, trousers and a long dress tail.

But one thing that really makes it different is that it was made from… RECYCLED PLASTIC BOTTLES.

Yep, plastic bottles.

"Plastic is one of the biggest pollutants on the planet," Emma wrote in a Facebook post explaining her look. "Being able to repurpose this waste and incorporate it into my gown for the ‪#‎MetGala‬ proves the power that creativity, technology and fashion can have by working together."

"Each and every part of this beautiful gown has been produced with sustainability in mind," she explained. "The zippers on the gown are made from recycled materials and the inner bustier has been crafted from organic cotton … The organic silk used in the lining of my gown is certified to a standard that guarantees the highest environmental and social standards throughout production.

"It is my intention to repurpose elements of the gown for future use. The trousers can be worn on their own, as can the bustier, and the train can be used for a future red carpet look."

What a woman!

Vincent Browne has been a TV staple for the people of Ireland for many years now, and most of the time he acts in a very professional manner on his TV show Tonight With Vincent Browne.

Except last night, when he made a big boo-boo and swore on LIVE TV. 

He was in the middle of a very heated discussion about Irish Water, and let's just say he got a little too carried away with his argument.

“And the fella who made the real cock up is given promotion to the European commission. It’s f***ing ama… sorry, it’s amazing.”

Of course, everyone watching the show couldn't handle it and took to Twitter cheer him on:

He swiftly apologised after the mishap, telling his guest Phil Hogan, “I’m sorry, I’ve been off for a few weeks so…”

Ah, Vinny. You're a superstar.

If the recent weather has left you researching accommodation and career paths in foreign climes, we might just be able to pull you back from the brink of despair.

According to Met Éireann, the good people of Ireland may actually be in for some sunshine over the coming days, but before you grab the shades and fire up the barbie, we're still a far cry from a proper summer just yet.

As we head closer to the weekend, we can expect some "mild if not warm" weather with temperatures set to reach 21 degrees in some places –  a welcome change from the baltic temperatures we've been battling through of late, right ladies?

However, there will still be some scattered rain showers across the weekend but they will make way for a dry day on Sunday which is said to bring with it some "spells of hazy sunshine".

Hey, beggers can't be choosers, right?!

With the exception of some (Ellen de Generes and Alan Carr, we're looking at you), most interviewers tend to play it pretty safe when it comes to chit-chat with high-profile celebs.

But one young woman, who has decided to take her cue from the braver interviewers in the industry, is the wickedly funny Carly Fleischmann.

The 21-year-old, who lives with both autism and oromotor apraxia, has absolutely wowwed the internet in recent days following her top-notch sit-down with Magic Mike star Channing Tatum.

Despite the fact Carly has had to use a computer to communicate since a very young age, she has established a YouTube series called Speechless with Carly Fleischmann which will see the hugely likeable young woman grill her favourite celebs.

And first up is Channing Tatum…

Ever since bursting onto the music scene in 2001 with her smash hit Fallin', we've had a major thing for Alicia Keys, so we are PUMPED that the über talented New Yorker has finally dropped her latest track.

In Common sounds like somewhat of a departure from Alicia's standard sound, but hey we're open to change from anyone who managed to convince us to return to piano lessons back in the day.

The track is the first single from her sixth studio album, and marks the star's return to the music scene after her last album, Girl On Fire, hit the top of the charts back in 2012.

Taking to Snapchat in recent days, Alicia told fans: "I've been dying to share some news with you for a while. You've been asking and asking and it's finally real."

"That's right, I have new music to share with you and I'm gong to be performing in the next couple of weeks," she continued. "That's right, I'll be performing my new music in my city, my hometown city, the best city in the world to me."

We are only buzzing to check out Alicia's performance of the track on Saturday Night Live this weekend!

We've all done a little beauty Maths in the lead-up to a big event, right?

Deciding you can splash out on a spray tan, but only if you do your own nails is just part and parcel of life for most girls, but not Gigi Hadid. (Obvs.)

The world-famous model, who recently celebrated her 21st birthday, added one seriously costly finishing touch to her Met Gala ensemble, and it just happened to set her back a cool $2,000.

 

Details details.. #NailsByMarySoul @GigiHadid @TommyHilfiger @imgmodels @zayn

That's right; Zayn's bae got her nails DID before the star-studded event on Monday night, and it pretty much cost her what most people shell out in rent over the course of a few months.

The handy work of manicurist Mary Soul, Gigi rocked some serious gold and chrome nail art and even sported miniscule crystals on the UNDERSIDE of the nail for the NYC bash.

We'd like to say good on her, but frankly we're just too jealous.
