Rapper 50 Cent is no stranger to controversy, but it looks like even Curtis Jackson himself knows he overstepped the mark recently after uploading a cruel video which shows him mocking an airport employee.

Filming the young man in Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, 50 Cent can be heard saying: "Look at him. What kind of s**t do you think he took before he got to work today?"

"He high as a motherf**ker right here in the airport. Pupils dilated – the new generation is f**king crazy," he added as the employee desperately tried to ignore his taunts.

Unbeknownst to the In Da Club singer, the employee at the centre of the ill-advised upload, Andrew Farrell, suffers from a social anxiety disorder and a hearing impairment, and was left understandably devastated by the star's treatment.

Despite deleting the video, the footage still went viral and ultimately led Andrew's stepfather, Ken Kramer, to seek legal advice against the hip hop star.

Thankfully, the rapper has now acknowledged the severity of the situation and issued an apology to Andrew and his family in light of his conduct.

"It was certainly not my intent to insult him or the disability community (sic), which is a source of great strength in America. I have apologized personally to him and his family," he said.

"While the incident at the airport resulted from an unfortunate misunderstanding, I am truly sorry for offending the young man," he added.

According to TMZ, Andrew's family have dropped their legal action and are no longer seeking a charitable contribution from the 40-year-old New Yorker.

Victoria Beckham is not exactly known for being a foodie, so it's kind of surprising that people are freaking out over a recent snap of the star's lunch…or lack there of.

In a rare candid photograph which VB uploaded to Instagram over the weekend, the star can be seen tucking into a plate of…well, to us, it looks like one lime and half a lemon, but who are we to say?

According to the woman herself, she's majorly packing in the protein for a busy day ahead, writing: "Lunch time! Eggs on toast and avocado. Exciting shoot today with @ellenvonunwerth. Kisses from London! X VB."

Despite the fairly bland nature of the shot, it still managed to divide fans and followers of the star who actually found themselves arguing over the location of the designer's… toast. No, seriously.

Having been accused of lying about it, one Instagram user defended the star, posting: "Maybe she ate the toast before she put the picture up you eagle eyed critical f*cks! And there's toast right behind her in a f*cking plate .. blind eyed f*cks"

"She's eaten the toast already. Like a pro," guessed one while another told fellow fans: "The toasts behind her on the trolley. The toast is still in the rack." 

Offering a voice of reason in a thread which was dangerously close to collapsing under the weight of its own absurdity, another fan of the star posted: "Don't know why people are having a go, it's Victoria's business what she eats or doesn't eat."

Lads, we literally had NO idea toast was such a big issue.

Tributes to a popular actor and musician have been made following his sudden death at the age of just 38.

Kristian Ealey, who played Matt Musgrove in Brookside between 1998 and 2000 before taking a place among the Hollyoaks cast until 2004, has been honoured by former co-stars and colleagues this week.

The actor and father, who later became a member of popular Liverpool band Tramp Attack, is understood to have gone to sleep with a pain in his arm and tragically never work up.

Paying tribute to the performer who played Ringo Starr in In His Life: The John Lennon Story, Brookside co-star Suzanne Collins said: "I'm very privileged to have called him a friend."

"There were a gang of the young ones who grew up on the set of Brookside, we called ourselves the Brooki Brat Pack and have an incredible bond."

"We were together nearly every day on set and we socialised out of work together, we became family," she said of the actor who passed away while working in Italy. "It has shocked us all to the core. Kris was full of life, full of smiles and so full of music,"

Equally stunned by Kristian's passing, Hollyoaks star, Gemma Atkinsons, tweeted: "Just awful. What a lovely, lovely man! Had many laughs with him at work back in the day… RIP."

Paying tribute to the popular star, Hollyoaks production company Lime Pictures said: "Many crew worked with Kristian on both Hollyoaks and Brookside and enjoyed following his musical success after leaving the show."

Speaking to Digital Spy, they confirmed: "The news has been met with shock and sadness on set and everyone's thoughts are with his family at this time."

Our thoughts go out to Kristian's friends and family.

You know that moment on a night out when you find yourself dancing with someone, but you're not exactly FEELING it?

The intuition isn't really there, you're struggling to anticipate the other person's moves and the tempo is just a bit… off?

Well, call us cynical, but we're pretty sure that's what happened when Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston decided to indulge in an impromptu dance-off during this year's Met Gala.

In a video which was uploaded to Instagram by Valentino PR Carlos Souza last night, the unlikely pair can be seen dancing together, and we are just NOT that into it.

Maybe it's the lack of eye contact, maybe it's the Avengers actor's weird grin when Taylor seems to disappear or maybe it's the way he suddenly skulks off-screen with an awkward clap after he realises he's now dancing on his own. (Robyn would be SO proud.)

We don't know, but we've definitely seen better…

It looks like everyone has had something to say about Beyoncé in recent days, doesn't it?

Following the star's controversial album drop last week, it seems like the singer has been the sole topic of conversation in the world of celebrity, and now Adele has decided to weigh in and give her thoughts on the Drunk In Love singer.

Taking to Instagram last night, the When We Were Young singer uploaded a snap of herself looking fairly emotional as she clutched a giant picture of the star, writing: "I'm not late on this I've just been speechless."

"Beyonce is the most inspiring person I've ever had the pleasure of worshipping," she gushed in the post which has been liked a whopping 387,000 times since its upload yesterday.

With everyone focussing their attention on Queen Bey's supposed relationship problems, Adele decided to shift attention back to the star's career, writing: "Her talent, beauty, grace and work ethic are all in a league of their own."

"I appreciate you so much! Thank god for Beyoncé," finished the 27-year-old Londoner in the poignant post which has hit us right in the feels this morning.

If you love One Direction, then look away now because your dreams of them will forever be ruined.

The latest reports are suggesting that it may be well over a year until we see the lads back together again.

The boyband announced last August that they're going to take some time to work on solo projects and will be back together within 12 months – but fans might have to wait a lot longer than that.

A source told The Sun: "One Direction are not coming together in a year or even two… the boys are not even on track to mention a comeback. All four are loving their own solo freedom."

There have been further reports suggesting that bandmates Louis and Harry aren't even on speaking terms at the moment, but we don't want to even think about that.

Niall Horan seems to be having a blast while on the break though, even playing in this year's Irish Open

The HSE has issued a warning in Ireland against Lyme disease.

Lyme disease is mainly spread by ticks and people who engage in outdoor activities are likely to be more at risk of being in contact with the disease-carrying ticks.

The HSE said that those who work in forest or grassy areas should be extra aware of tick bites by using insect repellent, wearing long clothing and checking for ticks after a day outside.

In a small number of cases, Lyme disease can cause severe debilitating heart and nervous system issues.

"Ticks are tiny spider like creatures that feed on the blood of mammals and birds and will also feed on the blood of humans and occasionally dogs," said Dr. Paul McKeown, HPSC Specialist in Public Health Medicine.

"Ticks are more numerous and more active in the summer months and protecting against tick bites protects against Lyme disease. The most effective way to prevent Lyme disease is by preventing tick bites."

If you are or were a fan of Geordie Shore, then you'll know that Gary and Charlotte's romance is a rollercoaster ride.

It has been five years since they first met each other, and they've been on and off more times than we can count now.

But in the latest turn of events – where Gary had a threesome while on Ex On The Beach – their former co-star Vicky Pattison thinks that he made a huge mistake by letting that go on camera.

Talking about their relationship in her latest New! Magazine column, Vicky said: "If there's trouble in paradise now, it's none of my business. But she's a great girl and she loves the bones off him.

"If Gary has treated her badly, he's made a huge mistake."

And as for Charlotte's reaction to Gary's decision? Vicky is totally on for her pal to let her hair down. 

"If Charlotte deals with it by going out and kissing someone else, good for her."

However, since Gary came back from filming Ex On The Beach, he made a very mysterious statement about the rumours on Twitter and Charlotte told Heat Radio that she's going to "stay well away from him."

Irish performer, Róisín O, is one of those musicians who always makes you feel like you're being given a snapshot into her personal triumphs and pitfalls, and since the release of her debut album in 2012 we haven't been able to get enough.

Authentic, relatable and über talented, Róisín has never failed to deliver on the lyrics and vocal front, but there's no doubt that the video for her latest track Give It Up is likely to win her even more fans and followers.

Shot in just one take and directed by bandmate John Broe, Give It Up boasts an incredible light display seconded only to Róisín's powerful performance and that absolute stomper of a chorus.

Vocally stunning and visually compelling, the track and video have, if possible, made us even more pumped for Róisín's gig in Whealans on Saturday May 14th.

Still to get your hands on a ticket? Here you go!
