If there was any doubt that Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid are definitely back on, it has been officially confirmed with the couple's heartwarming Twitter exchange this week.

Having been forced to cancel his appearance at Capital Radio's Summertime Ball this weekend. the former 1D member took to social media to explain the situation to disappointed fans and followers, and no one was more supportive than Gigi.

"To all those people who have been waiting to see me perform at the Capital Summertime Ball today," Zayn wrote. "I flew into the UK last night to appear in my home country in front of my family, friends, and most importantly, my UK fans."

"Unfortunately, my anxiety that has haunted me throughout the last few months around live performances has gotten the better of me," he revealed in a lengthyTwitter post.

"With the magnitude of the event, I have suffered the worst anxiety of my career," he continued. "I cannot apologise enough but I want to be honest with everyone who has patiently waited to see me."

The 23-year-old Bradford-native insisted he will make it up to his fans, writing: "I promise I will do my best to make this up to everybody I've let down today. I know those who suffer anxiety will understand and I hope those who don't can empathise with my situation."

Rushing to publicly support her boyfriend, Gigi shared a snap of Zayn's post before writing: "Z – I’ve seen the battles you go through and the way you fight to get to a place that allows you to get up there for your fans."

"Your bravery in those times makes me proud, but your honesty last night proved what you’re all about, being real," she continued. "Human recognises human."

"We are all here to support you and make each experience easier," she promised. "Your talent and good heart will never lead you wrong. Love you and so proud of you always."

Aw, lads.

Ever since news broke that Amber Heard had obtained a restraining order against Johnny Depp, fans of the former couple wasted no time playing judge and jury.

With the actress claiming that she's been the victim of domestic abuse, one corner of the public immediately accepted the claims as fact while others were quick to defend the Pirates of the Caribbean star against the allegations.

Reminding everyone that they only know what they have been fed by the press, Jaime King has insisted neutrality on the part of the public is vital in this instance.

Speaking to UsMagazine.com, the Hart of Dixie star explained that while Johnny played a very important part in her career, but she is not in a position to comment on what went on behind closed doors.

"Listen, I love Johnny Depp," she began. "One of my very first movies he played my father.  He is one of the most loving, kind, generous, attentive, brilliant men that I've ever met."

In spite of this, Jaime says people need to acknowledge the severity of the matter, saying: "It is a deeply painful situation and people are treating it as if it's entertainment, and it's not f**king funny. And it's not entertaining."

"It's all hearsay. It's all he said, she said. Frankly, it's not about sides because we cannot take sides in a situation that we're not there for, bottom line," she added.

The Sin City star, who recently revealed she had been the victim of sexual assault, insists the former couple need to be given space, saying: "It's about loving and supporting each person by saying, give them their privacy let them work it out."

Since the Orlando gun attack on Saturday night, people around the world have been expressing their shock, grief and condolences online.

Now, author JK Rowling has shared her devastation over the death of Luis Vielma – a 22-year-old victim who worked on the Harry Potter ride at Universal Studios.

The British novelist tweeted: “Luis Vielma worked on the Harry Potter ride at Universal.  He was 22 years old.  I can’t stop crying. #Orlando.”

A colleague of Luis then tweeted the author letting her know that Luis was a Gryffindor and that another Universal staff member is still in intensive care after the attack which left 50 people dead and 53 injured.

The message read: “I worked with Luis he was a gryffindor who would make you proud.  We have a slytherin who’s still in icu.  His name is Tony.”

The Harry Potter creator responded by saying: “I’m praying Tony pulls through.  My thoughts are with all of you #LoveIsLove #Orlando."

 

Harry Potter fans are now showing their solidarity with victims of the attack by sharing quotes and images online accompanied by the hashtag Orlando.

Actress Saoirse Ronan is no stranger to the red carpet, so it’s little surprise that her look at last night’s Tony Awards ceremony was picture-perfect.

The star – who made her Broadway debut back in March with The Crucible – looked stunning in a floor-length barely blush gown with a subtle torso cut-out and soft fishtail end.

The 22-year-old ensured that nothing distracted from the simplistic elegance of the figure-hugging Stella McCartney dress by accessorising only with a pair of simple drop earrings and a thin gold cuff on her wrist.

She allowed her fair complexion to take centre stage with a barely-there makeup look created by New York-based makeup artist Talia Sparrow.

Speaking about the star's style, Talia told InStyle: "We went for a modern and romantic look with youthful, dewy skin…we wanted to keep the look clean and fresh, while sculpting without contouring."

The Brooklyn actress’s look was completed with a low-key hairstyle which had been loosely pulled back into a low braided bun.

The popular and highly acclaimed actress co-presented an award on the night with Girls actor Andrew Rannells.

The star-studded event was hosted by comedian James Corden, who opened the show with a heartfelt tribute to the victims of the Orlando shooting.

If there's one celeb who knows how to work social media to the max, it's Chrissy Teigen.

Whether she's brawling with Piers Morgan, snapping shots of her 'stretchies' or schooling trolls with slick put-downs, Chrissy's posts have always been among our favourites.

And now she's gone and taken it up a notch by snapchatting photos of herself before she became the model and TV star we all know and adore.

Getting all nostalgic, the new momma, who welcomed baby daughter Luna in April, shared a haul of photos with fans which included snaps of her birth cert, her mum and herself as a baby.

Ripping it out of herself, 30-year-old Chrissy wrote "I look like a cute baby boy" alongside a snap of herself rocking the questionable haircut we ALL had before we could speak up for ourselves.

Paying tribute to her mum, Chrissy posted a photo of her alongside a snap of herself as a toddler, and we are legit melting all over ourselves here at SHEmazing! HQ.

The fact that Chrissy's selection of dodgy throwback snaps looks remarkably like our own has made our Monday that little bit easier to deal with.

Keen 'em coming, Chrissy!

Undoubtedly Ryanair has revolutionised the way that we travel – and now the lowcost airline has its sights set on where we stay once we get to our destination.

Yes, Ryanair Rooms is set to launch on October 1, meaning that from the moment you leave home, your entire trip can be looked after by the Dublin-based company. 

It currently has a partnership deal with booking.com, but – in a distinct nod to the AirBnB influence – Ryanair Rooms will allow customers to directly books the likes of hotels, villas, and homestays as well as hotels and B&Bs.

And the emphasis of the new service will – naturally enough – be on low-costs.

“We’re going to transform booking accommodation,” Kenny Jacobs, Ryanair’s Chief Marketing Officer told The Telegraph.

“More and more customers are looking to Ryanair for products other than flights, and we see this as a natural progression towards Ryanair.com becoming the Amazon of air travel.”

It is furthermore rumoured that the company will gradually roll out holiday packages too (much as Virgin Atlantic does already) – offering the likes of all-inclusive breaks away to beach resorts.

Passengers can already book car hire, transfers and city excursions through the Ryanair website.

In fairness, 2002 was a LONG time ago, so it's no surprise our memory of the lyrics for old-school summer stomper, Hot in Herre, is a little rusty.

If, however, you're gonna hit up a Nelly gig it might be an idea to reacquaint yourself with the words to one of the rapper's biggest hits before dying on your arse in front of him, right?

Unfortunately, it looks like this Irish audience never got the memo, and failed majorly when attempting to rap the lyrics to the track during the rapper's Vicar Street performance last night.

After nailing the chorus and launching into the next part, it all went wrong as everyone started mumbling the words and hoping everyone else might pick up the slack.

Hats off to Nelly who gave our fellow countrymen another chance to finish the gig off in style.

On Saturday, Late Late Show presenter James Corden revealed he was feeling anxious about hosting his first Tony Awards ceremony this weekend.

And as news of the worst mass shooting in US history broke that night, the British comedian's task was made all the more difficult.

Yesterday afternoon a tweet was posted to the Tony's official Twitter account stating that the entire ceremony would be dedicated to those affected by the mass shooting which left 50 people dead and 53 injured.

It read: “Our hearts are heavy for the unimaginable tragedy that happened last night in Orlando.  Our thoughts are with the families and friends of those affected.  The Tony Awards dedicate tonight’s ceremony to them.”

And 37-year-old James met the challenge perfectly as he paid tribute to the victims of the Orlando shooting in his opening speech.

With his back to the audience, speaking directly to the camera, he said: "On behalf of the whole theatre community and every person in this room, our hearts go out to all of those affected by this atrocity. All we can say is you are not on your own right now. Your tragedy is our tragedy.”

“Theatre is a place where every race, creed, sexuality and gender is equal, is embraced and is loved."

“Hate will never win. Together we have to make sure of that. Tonight’s show stands as a symbol and a celebration of that principle. This is the Tony Awards."

Numerous attendees on the night were spotted wearing a special translucent ribbon in remembrance of the victims of the attack.

Among them was How I Met Your Mother star Neil Patrick Harris and Academy Award winner Cate Blanchett.

The music industry was left reeling this weekend when news broke that Christina Grimmie had been killed after performing with Before You Exit in Miami on Saturday night.

Christina, who took part in season six of The Voice in 2014, was shot dead by 27-year-old Kevin James Loibl during an autograph-signing event at the Plaza Live venue in Orlando.

Paying tribute to the 22-year-old star during her Revival World Tour, Selena told the audience that she and Christina shared a very close bond, saying: "When she was 14, we met her, and my parents and I signed her."

"One thing about Christina and her family is that she holds her faith so closely to her," Selena continued. "And I think it’s not about a religion and it’s not about anything or good deeds."

"It’s just that she had faith, and I don’t really understand how this really happened, but I would like to dedicate this next song to her," the singer said before giving an emotional rendition of Hillsong Worship’s Transfiguration.

Selena, who posted a photograph of the pair together on Twitter, struggled during various moments of that night's performance, mouthing: "I'm sorry" to fans as she regained her composure.

Kevin James Loibl turned the gun on himself after fatally shooting Christina.
