This time two years ago, our social media newsfeeds were awash with footage of friends and family members dousing themselves in ice-cold water all in the name of charity.

And as the public became more and more creative with the execution of their own Ice Bucket Challenge, it wasn't long before many of us forgot the main aim of the endeavour, and simply went around nominating mates for a freezing.

Gaining momentum in the US, the Ice Bucket Challenge was born of a desire to raise awareness of ALS – also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease – and it looks like what many ultimately considered an internet fad has paid off in ways few would have anticipated.

According to numerous reports emerging from the States today, one million of the $115 million raised went towards Project MinE which has aided in the identification of a gene responsible for the degenerative disease – a development which has brought scientists closer to treating the disease which sees the rapid deterioration of patients within just five years. 

Commenting on the breakthrough, Dr. Lucie Bruijin, Chief Scientist at the ALS Association said: "The sophisticated gene analysis that led to this finding was only possible because of the large number of ALS samples available."

"The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge enabled The ALS Association to invest in Project MinE's work to create large biorepositories of ALS biosamples that are designed to allow exactly this kind of research and to produce exactly this kind of result."

In Ireland, our own version of the Ice Bucket Challenge raised a staggering €1.4 million for Motor Neurones Disease.

Made in Chelsea star Lucy Watson is well known for her fiery personality, so it's little wonder one of her followers received a pretty frank message this week when they openly accused her of having an eating disorder.

On Monday the reality star posted a pretty standard picture of herself playing croquet on Instagram and it wasn't long before a troll came along to body-shame her. 

The comment to which Lucy bluntly responded said: “Why is everyone pretending that this is ok? This girl obviously has an eating disorder. She's not "naturally skinny" because we've all watched her for years and she never looked like this. This is validating and publicizing an illness.”

Clearly not in the mood to let that one slide the 25-year-old vegan wrote: “Who are YOU to say I have an eating disorder? Do you think it's okay to publicly declare that someone else has an eating problem like its the ONLY possible way for me to be slim? Not that I maybe work out and eat a vegan diet.”

“But that because I am slim I MUST have an eating disorder. Do you really think that it is okay to try and make people think that? What lifestyle are you validating?”

“Just because you've watched me on tv, does NOT mean you know the ins and outs of my life.”

The MIC cast member’s fans were quick applaud her message and display of self-defence, with one user writing: “Being slim is not a synonym for having an eating disorder, and the two ought not to be automatically associated with one another. The latter term is being thrown around too loosely these days, it is a serious illness that requires diagnosis.”

While another said: “You are one of the most beautiful ladies I've seen, please ignore all the haters, women should aim to always empower each other, it's the greatest gift we have.”

This isn’t the first time the reality star has had to defend herself from bodyshamers.  Back in June Lucy ended up in a Twitter spat with Geordie Shore’s Marnie Simpson after Marnie wrote in her Star magazine column “Lucy Watson looks like a skeleton”.

Fair play to Lucy for standing up for herself.  No one deserves to be publicly criticised for their size.

If you – like millions others – divide your week between watching re-runs of Carpool Karaoke and waiting for the next instalment, you'll be PUMPED to learn that a standalone series of the uber popular Late Late Show segment is on the way!

According to NME, producers of The Late Late Show have partnered up with Apple Music, and will soon be treating the public to 16 episodes of Carpool Karaoke – with one expected to debut in the not too distant future!

Commenting on the news, Late Late Show producer, Ben Winston, said: "We couldn't be more excited to be partnering with Apple Music on this exciting new series of Carpool Karaoke."

"The joy of Carpool is both the intimacy it creates, while seeing the love our passengers have for music," he added. "Where better to showcase that than with Apple Music?"

"We love music, and Carpool Karaoke celebrates it in a fun and unique way that is a hit with audiences of all age," said Eddie Cue of Apple.

With 16 new instalments of the show set to stream weekly, Eddie added: "It's a perfect fit for Apple Music – bringing subscribers exclusive access to their favourite artists and celebrities who come along for the ride."

Unfortunately for James Corden fans, the much-loved British star will not be taking the wheel in this series, with a new host yet to be announced.

From cryptic pregnancy announcements to accusations of domestic violence, it has been an emotional week for actress Lindsay Lohan.  But thankfully the Freaky Friday star has revealed that her life has now taken a positive turn.

In a new Instagram post which was shared last night the 30-year-old revealed she is recovering from the week’s events with friends and apologised for making her private drama so public.

Alongside a picture of her driving a boat, Lindsay wrote: “I am sorry that I've exposed certain private matters recently. I was acting out of fear and sadness.”

“We all make mistakes. Sadly mine have always been so public.”

“I have done a lot of soul searching in the past years, and I should have been more clear minded rather than distract from the good heart that I have.”

“Social media comes with the territory of the business and the world we now live in.”

The former child star – who became engaged to Russian businessman Egor Tarabasov earlier this year – continued: “My intentions were not meant to send mixed messages. Maybe things can be fixed… Maybe not..I hope they can.”

“But I am 30 years old and I do deserve a #GENTLEgiant Life is about love and light. Not anger…Thank you to those who stand by my side.”

The post comes just one day after TMZ revealed threatening texts Lindsay’s father Michael sent to her partner in what appears to be reaction to the actress’ allegations that Egor had strangled her and cheated on her.

 

 

Dear friends. I'm good and well. #ATM I am taking time for myself with good friends. I am sorry that I've exposed certain private matters recently. I was acting out of fear and sadness… We all make mistakes. Sadly mine have always been so public. I have done a lot of soul searching in the past years, and I should have been more clear minded rather than distract from the good heart that I have.  Social media comes with the territory of the business and the world we now live in.

When we think of Summer hair two things come to mind: long and beachy.  But model of the moment Kendall Jenner has decided that neither of those concepts are for her right now as she has given her famous lob the chop.

While Kendall has yet to post an official picture of her new ‘do to her own social media accounts, celebrity hair stylist Jen Atkin has given fans a glimpse of the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star’s new look on Snapchat.

In a series of clips which appeared on Jen’s story yesterday, Kendall is seen wearing an oversized t-shirt with a blown up caricature of her sisters’ late father Robert Kardashian on the back to the salon.

At first only her back is seen as Jen tries to build up her followers’ anticipation by captioning the pic “guess who”.

We're sure Niall is used to female attention since blowing up with One Direction, but this time he took a moment out for his younger fan base.

The singer was playing golf in Co. Down over the weekend, and nine-year-old Holly Carlin couldn't believe it when she found out she was near to the star in the golf club.

Her mother told the Belfast Telegraph that they headed out to the golf course after word spread he was playing, but they certainly didn't expect to meet him face to face.

"I didn't want to tell anyone because I didn't want word to get out.

“This was our one chance to see him, and eventually he came out. We waited for a few hours, but it was all worth it. Holly was in tears. She was so emotional, and in the pictures she was half crying and half smiling.”

And Niall, being the gentleman that he is, even gave Holly his golf glove.

“She is still in the clouds. It was like a dream come true. She has loved him since she was four. She’s always asked me if I think she’d ever get to meet him.

“We were planning to go to the Open on Wednesday, and I had warned her that she probably wouldn’t get near him, so it’s unbelievable that it happened like this,” Holly’s mam said.

Niall is currently gearing up for the Pro-Am tournament at the Northern Ireland Open in Galgorm next week.

Well, it seems like Lauren Goodger is making her way back to TOWIE.

The reality star left the show back in 2012, after being one of the biggest characters since the show's beginning in 2010.

And although she has made her big bucks since quitting, it looks like she wants to make her way back to Essex.

In her latest New! mag column, she said: "I had a great meeting with Lime, the production company behind TOWIE among other shows, brainstorming and plotting the return of LG to your screens!”

She added: "I'd love to be back on TV so watch this space… and don't be surprised if you see me pop up in TOWIE again in he near future."

Eva Longoria's wardrobe in Desperate Housewives was something we all envied (mainly because it was all Gucci dresses and Hermés handbags).

But we have say, her post-DH style is better than ever. She oozes glamour, with hints of casual-cool no matter where she steps out and she's certainly on top of the style charts in SHEmazing HQ!

So it was to our delight to find out that she has just launched her own clothing line, and likes to call it "from work to wine." 

We like the way she's thinking!

The Eva Longoria Collection, exclusively at The Limited, is everything you need for any occasion. We know that sounds like a stretch, but seriously, there's jeans, dresses, shirts, blazers, skirts, t-shirts and more.

She told InStyle: "I think so many women want a versatile wardrobe without the price tag, so a lot of these dresses and outfits you can wear to work and then take off the jacket and now it's a sexy dress.

"I think that's important, for women to be able to mix and match things."

We hear ya, Eva! Who else is forever debating what to wear to after-work drinks?!

The collection lands online on August 15, and don't worry, we already checked if they ship  to Ireland.

We love little more in life than when the food and drink gods decide to ‘adult up’ our favourite childhood treats.

From liqueur-flavoured ice-cream to alcohol popsicles, we are putty in the hands of anyone who manages to combine the two, so hats off to Pops who have everyone in SHEmazing! HQ salivating all over themselves today.

Launching in Balfe’s this Thursday evening, this premium ice popsicle range includes the world’s first alcohol-based Champagne and Bellini popsicles– and this stunning Dublin restaurant has them in abundance!
 

And if Champagne and Bellini aren't your thing, why not kick your long weekend off in style with a limited edition Moscow Mule – a flavour exclusive only to Balfes!

These glorious new creations – which also come in a non-alcoholic Strawberry & Mint and Apple & Elderflower versions – are the icing on the cake as we approach a weekend which actually ends on Tuesday morning.

Pass us that ice bucket – we're going in.

Selena Gomez is absolutely killing it on Instagram lately, and it is PAYING off. 

Earlier this month, the young singer became the most followed person on the social media site, thanks to being “100 percent” herself and "good lighting.​"

Well, it turns out that Selena is raking in the cash as a result of her popularity on Instagram.

According to data company D'Marie Analytics, a post from the Slow Down singer is worth €500,000 when it appears across Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. 

Selena's success on social media is attributed to ignoring sponsored post requests for random products, only advertising those that fit her personal brand.

Selena recently posted a picture of herself with a bottle of Coca Cola, which is now the most liked post on Instagram, with 5 million likes. 

The 23-year-old gains approximately 200,000 new followers every month, reinforcing the fact that she is QUEEN of Instagram. 

All hail!

After the release of Rock DJ, most of us had more than a passing idea what Robbie Williams looked like in the nip.

But considering that was 16 years ago – Yeah, we know – it seems the former Take That member decided the public needed somewhat of a refresher.

With the help of his wife Adya Field, the 42-year-old popstar decided to remind his fans and followers where his various tats are positioned on his body, and why he was considered one of the biggest heartthrobs of the nineties and noughties.
 

After a game of Would You Rather, Robbie revealed he would rather be invisible than have the power to eat as much cake as he desired without gaining weight, and then set about proving to his wife he had indeed become invisible…

He hadn't.

Good man yourself, Rob…
