It's no secret that pop sensation Kesha has had a lot to deal with in the last year.

Between her sexual assault case against music producer Dr Luke getting thrown out and Sony refusing to release her from her contract, it's a wonder she's been able to get anything done.

But in the last few months the Tik Tok singer seems to have turned a corner as she finally began recording music again, successfully played at the Billboard Music Awards and Coachella and even helped a couple of fans get engaged.

Today even more good news emerged as the Wynn in Las Vegas revealed that Kesha will hold a brief residency at their Intrigue nightclub this summer.

Fans who intend on going to any of Kesha's three gigs – which are on June 23, 25 and July 23 – are advised to “dress to impress” with no “athletic wear, athletic footwear, baggy apparel, hats, shorts, flip flops, tank tops, chains, work boots, tattoo, or mma inspired clothing” allowed.

Given all that’s gone on this should be a pretty special couple of gigs for attendees – if they can find anything to wear, that is.

Brooklyn Beckham may only be 17-years-old, but the eldest child of David and Victoria is already covering Vogue.

Wearing a smart black tux with a dicky bow and fedora on the Italian version of the coveted fashion mag, the teen heartthrob proves he's almost as big a poser as his famous parents.

And the accompanying interview shows that not only is the former Arsenal player talented, he's also pretty down to earth.

He told the men's magazine: “My parents taught me to treat people how you want to be treated, and you know, never give up, have a good work ethic and always be humble.”

“When I played football there was a lot of people watching me and my every move, even if I made one mistake, I had to work harder than every single person and prove myself even more."

The star also revealed that his relationship with Kickass actress Chloe Moretz has left him feeling a little torn between London and LA.

He said: “It’s really hard for me to think of which city I prefer…It’s 50/50 because my girlfriend is in LA and all my friends I met at school, but London is my home, it’s where I grew up.”

Given that Brooklyn has yet to reach his 18th birthday, he still has plenty of time to decide what side of the pond he prefers.

Barack Obama hasn’t been afraid to let loose on TV during his two terms as president and last night’s appearance on The Tonight Show was no different.

With his eight years in office coming to an end, Obama decided to run through the progress he's made so far – but unlike your average presidential speech, this one was delivered through song.

As the first active president to appear on the show, Obama “slow jammed the news” with host Jimmy Fallon in a smooth duet which not only slags Donald Trump but sees "Baracky with the good hair" do his best Rihanna impression.

You know what they say: “Once you go Barack, you never go back.”

If you work in an office, you probably send a lot of GIFS to your co-workers throughout the day.

If you have a big group of friends, you probably send a lot of GIFS to each other about your daily ramblings.

If you're still in school, there is no doubt GIFS flying across the air as the teacher tries to tell you something about long division.

We are now living in a world of GIFS – and it's totally our guilty pleasure. We love them.

And now, Whatsapp are finally catching on to our love for moving images as it has just announced that GIFS are coming to the messaging service. Hurrah!

WABetaInfo reports that it'll be really easy to use as well since Whatsapp are just going to auto-play the images and not save them as a video.

GIFS, galore!

Joe Biden has commended the bravery of the Stanford assault survivor in a heartfelt open letter.

The US Vice President – who is actively involved in the White House’s campaign against campus sexual assault – applauded the nameless woman’s bravery for using her story to highlight the difficulties experienced by sexual assault victims.

The letter – which was sent to Buzzfeed News on Thursday – not only thanked the woman who confronted her attacker in court with a powerful letter, but also praised the men who interrupted the attack for having the courage to intervene in a culture which so often chooses to ignore sexual violence.

The anonymous woman's attacker has been sentenced to 6 months out of a possible 14 years in prison for three counts of sexual assault in a case which has shocked the world.

He wrote: “I do not know your name — but your words are forever seared on my soul. Words that should be required reading for men and women of all ages. Words that I wish with all of my heart you never had to write.”

“And I am filled with furious anger — both that this happened to you and that our culture is still so broken that you were ever put in the position of defending your own worth.”

“It must have been wrenching — to relive what he did to you all over again. But you did it anyway, in the hope that your strength might prevent this crime from happening to someone else. Your bravery is breathtaking.”

“You were failed by anyone who dared to question this one clear and simple truth: Sex without consent is rape. Period. It is a crime.”

“I do not know your name — but I see your unconquerable spirit. I see the limitless potential of an incredibly talented young woman — full of possibility. I see the shoulders on which our dreams for the future rest. I see you.”

“You will never be defined by what the defendant’s father callously termed ‘20 minutes of action’. His son will be.”

“What you endured is never, never, never, NEVER a woman’s fault.”

“Your words will help people you have never met and never will. You have given them the strength they need to fight. And so, I believe, you will save lives."

"I do not know your name — but I will never forget you.”

After a long break, Made In Chelsea's most lovable gold-miner Francis Boulle is set to return to the show.

The author of Boulle's Jewels: The Business of Life will be joining his former cast mates at an exclusive resort in Cannes as they film the six-part MIC: South of France summer special.

As well as releasing his book, since leaving the show in 2013 Francis has been jetting between West Africa and South America trading precious metals (as you do).

Last month resident MIC star Jamie Laing told OK! that the door is always open for old cast members to return.

He said: "Yeah I think the great thing about the show is it's always left open, so people can always come back whenever they want."

And he revealed he'd love to see his BFF Spencer Matthews return to the show.

Jamie said: "Yeah so much, he's my buddy. Yeah he's great but he's doing his own thing. He's in Ibiza at the moment, he's got a girlfriend which is super nice and he's all happy and well."

We'd love to see some more of the old MIC regulars return but for now we're happy to have quirky quote producer Francis back.

We get it. It's the Euros. And nearly every man in Ireland is getting giddy with excitement.

First, we had these two lads prank their mother by painting their WHOLE house green, white and orange. And now, we have this lad, who decided to prank his girlfriend.

Liam Kehoe from Co Louth text his girlfriend Rachel, pretending that he won tickets to Ireland's first game in the competition next Monday.

Being the supposedly loving boyfriend that he is, he then asked if she was free.

Rachel quickly responded, "Is this another prank?" before telling Liam that she's off on Monday.

However, Liam, who owns a bar, then hit her back with "Will you cover the bar for a couple of hours??" OUCH.

After the prankster uploaded the messages onto Facebook, he said: "I would imagine she is going to find some way of getting her own back or sweet revenge."

Oh, don't worry Liam, we bet she's plotting something brilliant for you.

Thousands of us pass through or work right in the centre of Dublin, yet when it becomes the norm to us, we don't realise just how gorgeous our capital is.

Well, Canon decided to show us just how pretty the city centre is by holding an event in the capital's most photographic locations, which saw us snapping away until midnight.

The night was crystal clear (which is practically unheard of!) and our lads that went to the event were able to capture beautiful shots of Dublin by night.

A short briefing was given by photographer Dave McKane beforehand, and the results are stunning:

Ever think it would be amazing to meet someone who looks just like you?

Well if Kim Kardashian's experience is anything to go by, it's actually nothing short of cringe-worthily awkward.

A new preview clip for Keeping Up with the Kardashians has been released by E! which shows Kim running into her long time BFF Jonathan Cheban at the doctor's office and – naturally enough – accompanying Jonathan is Kim's doppelganger Kamilla Osman.

Despite the fact the experience is being filmed, Kim does look genuinely baffled with Jonathan's attempt to grab her attention.

Jonathan – who has been feeling neglected by Kim – says: “I was taking her with me because you’re too busy to hang out with me, but meanwhile you’re here hanging out with someone so now I’m p*ssed.”

He brags that he and fashion blogger Kamilla have been having loads of fun on their day out together.

In a cut away Kim explains: "This is super awkward. The fact that Jonathan would take it to this level is so bizarre to me."

"Jonathan is trying to rub this in my face and make me feel some type of way but I don't. Having two kids is a lot and your priorities just change."

So how does it all finish?  With a selfie of course!
