So, even as late as yesterday, rumours were swirling that Rita Ora would bow out of this year's Met Gala following claims she and Beyoncé's husband had once had a thing on the side, but if the British star's recent snapshot is anything to go by, nothing could be further from the truth!

Proving that there's nothing but love between herself and Queen Bey, the X Factor judge snapchatted a shot of herself and the Drunk in Love singer, and OBVS the whole world is all over it this morning.

Looking super chill at one of the biggest events in the celebrity calendar, the supposed love rivals posed for a shot which Rita caption 'Family' followed by a heart emoji.

It had been a fairly tough week for Rita in the lead-up to the NYC bash as she was forced to address claims her and Jay Z's relationship has ever been less than professional on Twitter, writing: "I never usually address tabloid gossip but let me be clear, these rumours are false."

Even after shutting down the rumours and declaring her 'utmost respect' for the Lemonade singer, Rita was slammed by members of the public who accused her of overstepping the boundaries when it came to Queen Bey's other half.

If that snapshot doesn't prove she's definitely not Becky with the good hair, we don't know what will.

Forget Paris Couture Week, the Met Gala is the Oscars of the fashion world, where the stars pull out all the stops to impress.

Down through the years, there have been many style highs – refer to SJP’s AH-MAZING take on 2013’s punk theme – and a few bum notes (sorry, Kim, but that floral nightmare is still imprinted on our brains); but the event never fails to produce some awesome fashion.

Last night was the big night, and with a theme of Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology, we were expecting our fave stars to really bring it – and, boy, did they ever bring it.

Here are some of the best – and some of the most outrageous – looks from the night.

Briana Jungwirth, who recently gave birth to Louis Tomlinson's first son, was never going to get an easy time of it when it came to hardcore Directioners, but it looks like they're really unimpressed with her this time.

The young woman, who is no longer romantically involved with Louis, has been slammed by fans of the British band after she shared snapchat vids of baby Freddie having a day out at a music festival.

The videos have come in for serious criticism from fans, some of whom questioned why baby Freddie wasn't wearing noise excluding headphones while others raged over the lack of care given to the child while being carried by Briana's friend Olivia.

Slamming those involved, one 1D fan wrote: "The baby is being shaken and jostled so that Olivia can be the star of her own dance show. You don't shake a baby around like that."

Taking issue with the lack of headphones, she continued: "The music is so loud yet there is no concern for the baby's hearing and babies have a much higher sensitivity to sound."

"They have the baby in the sun and covered up with a towel. If the baby is that hot you should get out of the sun and put the baby in the stroller where there is a real sun shade."

What are your thoughts on this one?

We'll be honest here, we're still struggling to perfect our contouring game, so the idea of having to master it anywhere but your face, let alone your FEET, really isn't doing it for us.

Oh, that's right, ladies. Women all over the world are seemingly getting up close and personal with their tootsies these days, and we are just NOT buying it.

It's hard enough to keep on top of your toenail game on a regular basis without having to add the whole shadowing and highlighting shebang to the rest of your foot, right?

Although if you are looking for a pretty unique excuse the next time you're late for work, the old 'shadow on my big toe wasn't working for me' should definitely swing it.

Ladies, we're out.

For a star who seems as down-to-earth as Amy Schumer, it has come as a major surprise to her fans that she has decided to no longer take pictures when requested by members of the public.

Taking to Instagram this weekend, the Trainwreck actress admitted that a random passerby had terrified her when insisting he take her photograph on Saturday.

Uploading a shot of the man in question, 34-year-old Amy wrote: "This guy in front of his family just ran up next to me scared the shit out of me."

"Put a camera in my face. I asked him to stop and he said "No it's America and we paid for you" this was in front of his daughter. I was saying stop and no," she continued.

Raging over the incident, Amy slammed him, saying: "Great message to your kid. Yes legally you are allowed to take a picture of me. But I was asking you to stop and saying no."

"I will not take picture with people anymore and it's because of this dude in Greenville," she wrote in the irate message which has clocked up more than 24,000 likes since its upload.

Unfortunately for Amy however, not everyone is siding with the actress, with one Instagram user writing: "She wasn't scared she went back and cussed him out in front of his family…if someone was scared they wouldn't go back to the "scarey" person." (sic)

"This was very immature of Amy Schumer. And leave his daughter out of this. This post shows how weak you are to try and get revenge on a man and thus making his daughter, the girl who idolizes her dad above all, resent her father for doing exactly what she did to Kim and Kanye," wrote another.

"He respected her personal space. Her fame is fleeting anyways after she confirmed stole jokes from other comedians," he added.

Echoing their fellow Insta users, another of the star's followers posted: "You're a f*cking dumb lying b*tch. This guy has video proof and you still lie about it."

"Get off your high horse, bc you suck and aren't even funny. You're 15 mins will be up soon and you'll be begging for people to make you relevant again." (sic)

Ouch! We don't see a line being drawn under this one any time soon.

Look, we all know the Geordie Shore girls are partial to a little cosmetic enhancement, but it looks like Charlotte's latest transformation has done little to impress her millions of online followers.

Uploading a fairly creepy video to Instagram this afternoon, the Geordie lass came in for serious criticism from fans who think she's definitely gone too far in the surgery stakes.

Drawing attention to a pair of seriously pumped-up lips, the reality star posed for the camera and played with her hair in footage which hasn't won her much praise or flattery.

Wasting no time sharing their thoughts on the 25-year-old's latest facial enhancement, one fan of the professional party-girl wrote: "Your lips look like sausages."

"You ruined your face with all that surgery," wrote another while someone else added: "Sorry Charlotte but you looks like Michael Jackson." Ouch!

It wasn't all bad news for the always-hilarious Charlotte though as some fans defended the star's decision to go under the knife.

"Looking amazing. Don't mind the haters." encouraged one fan. "If you had normal lips they would be commenting saying where are your lips? If you want plastic surgery get it, it's your body you can change it if you want I think you look gorgeous."

Well, at least SOMEONE has her back, right?

Various units of Dublin's emergency services have responded to a multiple car pile-up which occurred on the N11 shortly before 1pm this afternoon.

The incident took place just before the Wyattville overpass in Cherrywood, Co Dublin, and has resulted in considerable traffic congestion.

It is understood that one of the vehicles travelling on the Dublin dual carriageway was rear-ended which ultimately resulted in a domino effect among drivers who were headed in the same direction.

Both the Gardai and AA Roadwatch have taken to Twitter to confirm the incident.

Units of Dublin's Fire Brigade and multiple ambulance services attended the scene, but authorities have confirmed that no one involved in this afternoon's incident sustained serious injury.

Following the tragic death of a teenage girl in Manchester in the early hours of this morning, authorities have released an urgent warning to the public.

It has been established that the teen died after taking a 'Mastercard' ecstasy pill, and now police are appealing to anyone who may have also taken one of these pills to seek medical attention.

"We are appealing to anyone who may have taken this form of ecstasy, known as 'MasterCard' to get checked out urgently," a spokesperson for police said today in light of this morning's tragedy.

"Even if you took it some hours ago, this pill will still be in your system and could be seriously harming your health," they warned.

The teen had been enjoying a night out in Victoria Warehouse on Trafford Wharf Road in Trafford, Greater Manchester when she suffered an adverse effect to the drug.

There are certain Britain's Got Talent auditions which will always stand the test of time; Susan Boyle, Paul Potts and Connie Talbot to name but three.

But if Saturday's episode of the long-running talent show is anything to go by, it looks like Jasmine Elcock can now add her name to that memorable list.

Performing Cher's 1998 track Believe, the 14-year-old singer held the audience spellbound and even reduced judge, Alesha Dixon, and host, Ant McPartlin, to tears.

In a rare move, the show's hosts Ant and Dec made the executive decision to put the budding star through to the semi-finals by storming the stage and reaching for the Golden Buzzer.

If you're in a heap after Bank Holiday Sunday pints, you may want to gather yourself before pressing play on this one – The feels lads, the FEELS.

Katie Price stunned fans and followers in recent weeks after appearing to support jailed footballer, Adam Johnson, who was charged with sexual offences against a 15-year-old girl, and now it seems even Johnson himself is dumbfounded by the star's interest in his case.

Recently supporting the footballer's intended legal proceedings, Katie tweeted: "What's wrong with a retrial good on anyone trying to defend themselves it's harsh to pick on @f10aye" (sic)

Despite being slammed by her followers for turning a blind eye to the severity of Johnson's charges and ultimate conviction, the former glamour model has now gone one step further and reportedly requested the disgraced sport star meet with her as preparation for an upcoming book.

Speaking to The Sun, a source told the newspaper: "Johnson was made aware of the letter this week but replied, 'I don't want anything to do with her.' He was made aware of the contents but he does not want to know."

Katie's fans aren't the only ones astounded by her interest in his case, with a source explaining that 28-year-old Johnson was put out by her attempts to reach out to him.

"He asked staff to send it back to her and explained he thought it was a bit weird and embarrassing that she is supporting him," they explained. "The letter mentions coming to visit him and she says it is for a book she is planning but he was not interested."

37-year-old Katie has continued to show her support for Johnson's sister Faye following her brother's sentencing, recently tweeting: "Stay strong as I know it's a difficult day for you."
