Remember when Vanity Fair writer, Rich Cohen, recently offered an assessment of Margot Robbie and her native country, and managed to insult millions of people in the process?

Well, while members of the Australian public took to Twitter in their droves to slam both the writer and the article which contained a scathing assessment of the land down under as well as one its most-respected actresses, Margot kept schtum.

And while one might hope she did so in order to take the high road, it was actually because despite the clearly derogatory nature of the piece, Margot was unfazed as she had, in fact, read much worse.

Rich went to great lengths to subtly deride the star, writing "She is 26 and beautiful, not in that otherworldly, catwalk way but in a minor knock-around key, a blue mood, a slow dance."

She is tall but only with the help of certain shoes. She can be sexy and composed even while naked but only in character."

And yet, Margot simply deemed her encounter with Rich as 'odd' and expressed her surprise over the controversy which followed the publication of the piece.

Speaking to The Project, she said: "I remember doing the interview and being like, ‘That was an odd one."

“Then I read it and I was like, ‘Yeah, the tone of this is really weird, I don’t really know what he’s trying to get at or play at," she continued. "But I didn’t expect it’d be like an uproar about it, at all."

"But I’ve read far more offensive, far more sexist, insulting, derogatory, disgusting things on a daily basis," she admitted. "Maybe I’m desensitised to it now."

If that's the case, it's a seriously sad state of affairs.

If you've been glued to Netflix original series, Stranger Things, you'll have been hard-pressed to ignore the burgeoning romance which appears to be blossoming between Mike – one of the show's main protagonists – and his new friend, Eleven.

And while the young actors – Finn Wolfhard who plays Mike is 13 and Millie Bobby Brown who plays Eleven is 12 – have tackled some incredibly harrowing storylines over the course of the show's arc, when it comes to kissing, there's no denying their young age.

Speaking to Vulture, Finn opened up about his first foray into scenes which contained a romantic element, and while he insists he was comfortable, Millie's reaction to their first shift was a little less enthusiastic.

"Because we got along so well and we were friends prior, we were more comfortable with it because we knew what was going to happen," he began before revealing it didn't end quite as well as it began,

"Once it happened, it was just, whatever. Millie's reaction was the funniest thing I've ever seen on set," he admitted. "We didn't kiss until the first take, and we did it. It was a really good take."

"They yelled cut. Millie got up and just looked, like, disappointed," Finn confessed. "Then she yelled out, “Kissing sucks. That sucked.”

And while many young lads would balk at Millie's reaction to their mad skillz, Finn thought it was hilarious, laughing: "It was the funniest reaction I've ever seen on a person, because I was her first kiss. I don't know, it was really, really funny."

Fair play to him – we don't know if we'd have handled that reaction so well.

Top Gear has been in turmoil ever since the exit of Jeremy Clarkson, with ratings taking a major dive in recent months.

Chris Evans, who replaced Jeremy on the show, announced he was quitting on July 4 via Twitter, stating "stepping down from Top Gear. Gave it my best shot but sometimes that's not enough."

Since then, a lot of people have been wondering who will take over from Chris Evans, and hopefully bring Top Gear back to its former glory.

Well, it would seem as though a certain famous rapper is throwing his hat in the ring for the Top Gear gig. 

In an interview with the Daily Star, American rapper 50 Cent expressed his interest in presenting the award winning television hit.

“I would love to work on Top Gear, I could save that show for sure, but it would cost them."

Fiddy went on to explain why he would be good for the job, claiming that “there ain’t a car I haven’t owned over the years, my car collection is as good as anybody’s out there.”

Apparently, the In Da Club singer is a huge fan of the show: “Top Gear was one of the world’s iconic shows and it’s a shame it came to this. It’s a show you know you can watch any country you are in."

50 Cent is no stranger to the camera, having starred in a number of hit movies and television shows. 

We would absolutely LOVE to see 50 Cent on our screens, rapping his lyrics while attempting to drive 120kmph in a Volkswagen Beetle.

Arriving home to a house filled with more candles than you could shake a stick at, we're not surprised this Cork woman believed her partner, Keith Stanton, when he said there'd been a power cut and he needed her help.

After enlisting the help of the Pat Fitz Band, Keith tricked his girlfriend into coming home early so he could get down on one knee and pop the question.

With the band playing I'm Yours by Jason Mraz in the couple's kitchen, Keith told Liz she was 'a fantastic mother and a fantastic partner' before asking if she'd become his wife.

Sharing the footage on their official Facebook page yesterday, Pat Fitz wrote "Keith Stanton proposed to his beautiful partner Liz this summer and asked us to be part of it. We were delighted and honoured to be part of it. Heres how it went…"

The band have been inundated with comments from social media users wishing the Cork couple well, with one writing: "Ah Liz that's fab. Fair play stangy I'm bawling after looking at that."

"Cheers here now a bawling hormonal wreck," added another. "Must not have been a candle left in Cork city"

Well, if everyone else is bawling, we may as well join in…

Whether it was too subtle or too sarky, we're all had moments where we instantly regret a joke we've made on social media.

From realising it hasn't quite landed to sweating over your followers' response to your stand-up material, social media can be a minefield when it comes to the lols as Jeremy McConnell discovered this morning.

After sharing a snap of himself and fellow Celebrity Big Brother contestant, Scotty T, on Twitter, Jezza decided to caption the shot: "Me and Gaz last ni." (sic)

But it wasn't Gaz…and that, ladies, is the joke. (Badum-bum-chiiiii)

Fearful Jeremy had had a lobotomy, the reality star's followers wasted no time schooling him on the Geordie Shore cast, with one writing: "WTF that's Scotty T check again it's defo not gaz lol."

"Awkward moment when you don't even know that it's @ScottGShore and not @GazGShore," added another.

As more and more members of the public took to Twitter to set Jeremy straight, the Dubliner clearly reached the end of his tether, replying: "I know it's Scotty you morons."

Well you can see where the confusion arose Jez…

Rushing to the defence of Jeremy's quality gag, one Twitter user raged: "A majority of tweeters have had a humour bypass. They must have undergone this procedure when they had their brains removed."

Hmmm…we don't know about that one.

“The weirder the better” has long been the motto for success when it comes to YouTube and if the latest ‘100 Layer Challenge’ trend is anything, it’s weird.

Over the last few weeks we’ve seen people apply 100 layers of liquid lipstick in a single sitting, create a ‘polish mountain’ with over 100 layers of nail polish and pile on 100 layers of foundation with totally grotesque results so it was probably only a matter of time before someone decided to do it all at once.

Cue YouTube sensation Jenna Marbles.  The LA vlogger decided to create “the epic meal time of beauty videos” by applying 100 layers of foundation, nail varnish, lipstick, fake tan, hairspray and false eyelashes all at once.

The completion of this phenomenal challenge has already earned the 29-year-old Internet star more than five million video views since the 14 minute test was posted on Thursday.

Before she embarked on her 100 layer journey, Jenna set up the challenge by explaining her inspiration and goal and asked viewers to pray for her skin, lips, arm and beauty blender, all of which she expected “to die” during the application process.

Even by coat number ten the entertainer looked more than caked in makeup and by coat 21 her lashes looked like furry black caterpillars so you can only imagine what she looked like after more than seven and half hours of intensive makeup application.

Her older sister might have broken the internet with hers, but that doesn’t mean Kylie can’t get in on the action when it comes to the Kardashian’s world-famous collection of derrières.

In a move straight out of Social Media for Reality Stars 101, Kylie shared an incredible brief video on Snapchat which seems to suggest she has decided to gets hers inked, but then said little else on the matter.

And social media, as it is known to do, has understandably gone into meltdown mode over it.

The clip, which has amassed over 41,000 views in a day, has sparked debate among the 18-year-old’s followers, with some arguing that the location of the tattoo was inappropriate.

Condemning Snapchat users for casting aspersions on Kylie’s decision, one wrote: “What does having a tattoo on the butt cheek have to do with anything slut related?”

“Last time I check the butt is still part of the body. People get tattoos in their mouth, on their lips, tongue, face ect so why not butt??” (sic)

“Why is everyone trippin' over her getting a tattoo on her ass? Lots of people do it and she's 18 I don't see what the problem is,” added another.

“I love how people get so bent outta shape over stuff like this,” slammed another. “Why y'all get so offended and upset when she get a tattoo? Are y'all related? Did u give birth to her? Did u raise her?”

Now all we're waiting for is the big reveal…

Unless you're happy to shell out for a space in the short – or indeed long-term carpark – while living it up abroad, the vast majority of us opt to get the bus to and from the airport.

So, the news that Dublin Bus have launched a second airport route will be met with delight from jet-setters in the capital today.

According to the Irish Independent, the new route will start at Camden Street, and will serve multiple stops including St Stephens Green, Merrion Square, the Docklands (Silicon Dock) and the IFSC, before ultimately taking the Port Tunnel route to the airport.

The 757 route, which acts as a competitor to Aircoach, will cost €6 one-way and €10 return –  a difference of €1 and €2 respectively in comparison to Aircoach fares.

The announcement will not only be welcomed by air passengers, but also signalled good news for the economy, with Dublin Bus confirming that both the new route and an extension to the old one has created 40 new jobs.

Earlier this month Price Harry made headlines when he live streamed himself being tested for HIV in a bid to break down the stigma which often surrounds the process.

Since then the Royal has continued to raise awareness about important social issues by speaking about his experience of his mother’s death at an event for the mental health charity Heads Together.

In the new clip the Royal can be heard telling footballer Rio Ferdinand that he regrets not opening up about his mother’s death sooner.

 

He said: “Everything can be ok but I really regret not ever talking about it.  For the first 28 years of my life I never talked about it.”

The Prince explained how he had been approached by a friend to see if he would share his experience with three children who had lost their mother to suicide.

Harry said: “[The kids] are now in the process of asking questions, ‘where’s mummy,’ and all this sort of stuff.”

“They had started asking questions and going ‘what is going to happen to us when we get older [because] we haven’t got a mum’.”

“We didn’t even talk about it.  We just sat down and had a laugh and he just said…there’s a classic example of someone who’s [lost their mother and is] normal.”

Rio later explained to the BBC what a valuable experience hearing Harry’s story was for him as he raises his own children after their mother’s death.

He said: “He’s gone through different stages in his life that my kids are going to be going towards.  So to get some of these experiences is very very rewarding for me and very educational in many ways for me in knowing what to expect going forward for my children.”

31-year-old Harry created Heads Together with his brother Prince William and Kate Middleton as a means through which leading metal health charities could unite.

Harry’s mother Princess Diana died in a car accident in Paris in 1997.  At the time Harry was just 12 years old.

If you – like the rest of us – spent more time than you'd care to admit salivating over The Wire's Jimmy McNulty than paying attention to the show's storyline, then it might be high time you hightailed it to Limerick.

After a long period of deliberation, Dominic West and his wife, Catherine Fitzgerald, have decided not to sell their home Co. Limerick and will, instead, be opening it to the public as an on-trend boutique hotel.

Following the death of Catherine's father, the Fitzgerald family were forced to put Glin Castle on the market due to the cost of its upkeep, but the Daily Mail now reports that there has been a distinct turnaround.

Commenting on the news, The Wire actor confirmed that the castle – worth a staggering €4.6 million – will be staying in the family, saying: "No, we’re not selling any more, I’m happy to report. We’ve done a marvellous U-turn."

"Selling up was absolutely heartbreaking for all of us, especially my mother-in-law and my wife and luckily, we’re reopening it as a hotel, all going well, some time next year," he announced.

And it sounds like the Golden Globe-nominated actor is going to be as hands-on as it gets with the property, which has been in Catherine's family for more than 700 years, revealing: "I’m going to manage it. I want to be in charge or as much as my schedule will allow."

"Obviously there will be someone in place far more experienced and qualified than I coping with the day-to-day. But we want to be there," he insisted. "We’re going to be heavily involved. That’s why we’re moving home to Ireland."

More than happy to call the stunning castle their home, the couple and their four children will now be opening it to the public, and we all feel a trip to Limerick coming on all of a sudden.

Rihanna is taking a stand against the pp that has been taking over the world in recent weeks.

There is no denying that Pokémon Go is EVERYWHERE at the moment, but if you are attending a Rihanna concert any time soon, we suggest you leave the phone at home. 

At her concert in Lille, France on Saturday night, Riri announced to the crowd that nobody was to be seen hunting for Pokémon. 

"I don't want to see you texting your boyfriends or your girlfriends," she told her fans during her performance. "I don't want to see you catching any Pokémons up in this bitch."

Fans took to Twitter, referring to the singer as a "queen" and a "legend" for taking a stand against the app. 

Rihanna is not the first person to speak out against Nintendo's latest craze while at a concert. 

A fan at a Beyoncé concert recently LOST IT with a person who was playing Pokémon Go instead of watching Queen Bey at work, and instagram erupted. 

 

She's lucky Solange never saw her. Side note I'm never showering again.

Moral of the story: as with everything else in life, there’s a time and a place for video games.

We wouldn't dare suggest to have an intimate knowledge of your laundry pile or the regularity with which you tend to it, but something tells us you – like us – are not washing your bras after every three wears.

We're right, aren't we? And that is because you are a normal human with a billion other things to do.

But according to the good folk behind London-based lingerie stylists, Rigby & Peller, we're doing ourselves a major injustice by not peeling off our bras and flinging them in the wash after their third outing.

Speaking to The Huffington Post, Candece Etafo, the company’s boutique manager for a New York City branch, not only encouraged ladies to wash their bras after three wears, but suggested we should be alternating our bras on an almost daily basis.

We know – we didn't think that was a thing either.

And if you – like millions of other women – are the proud owner of at least 30 bras, but generally switch between two or three, you're going to want to up your game on that front.

Candace insists we should own 7 to 10 bras each which we should be switching between on the regular. From T-shirt bras to sports bras and from strapless to balconette – something tells us Candace would balk at the greying granny one we opt for on daily basis.

Offering a little advice to the brassiere buffoons among us (that'd be us). Candace explained: "Ideally we want to hand wash with a lingerie wash. However, I’m a realist, I know we live in a busy city so if you do have to, a lot of new machines have a hand wash cycle or a delicate cycle."

"You can close the bras and put them inside a wash bag. After they’re washed you want to hang them dry," she added.

Thanks Candace! We'll get right on that…
