What is going ON with the Kardashian sisters right now?!

A few hours after Kim Kardashian sent social media into total meltdown with leaked footage of a conversation between her husband and Taylor Swift, Kim's younger sister has decided to shake up social media in her own unique way.

It all kicked off when Chloe Moretz took to Twitter earlier today to suggest that celebrities were too busy focussing on their own issues to acknowledge events unfolding in the wider world.

"Everyone in this industry needs to get their heads out of a hole and look around to realise what's ACTUALLY happening in the REAL world, " she tweeted.

Whether Khloé took this remark as a dig at Kim's decision to out Taylor or she was just in the mood for an online scrap, Khloé decided to hit back with a seriously harsh remark directed at Chloe.

Sharing an image of a young woman in an extremely compromising position, Khloé suggested that the female in question was the Kick-Ass star, writing: "Is this the a hole you're referring ChloeGMoretz?"

Reacting to Khloé's post, the actress replied, writing: "Fact check: first photo is me filming my movie Neighbors 2, the second photo is some girl who was wrongfully photographed."

Taken aback by Khloé's unnecessarily harsh post, the reality star's followers wasted no time calling her out on her on it.

"This is honestly embarrassing for Khloe at 32 years old to be trying to throw false shade at a 19 yr old," wrote one while another added: "Chloe, don't waste your time on her. She's 32 and is acting like a child. Age does not guarantee maturity."

Agreeing with social media users, Orange is the New Black star, Ruby Rose, felt compelled to weigh in on the post, writing: "Yo Khloe I thought you were rad when I met you but this is awful and this is a 19 year old girl."

We're not quite sure what Khloé was hoping to achieve with that one…

With her current relationship attracting criticism around the world and her former boyfriend taking aim at her on Twitter, Taylor Swift could be forgiven for thinking things couldn’t get much worse right now.

But it looks like Kim Kardashian-West had different ideas.

For the past few months, rumours have been swirling that Kanye West had referenced the Shake It Off singer in a track without her approval – a claim both Kanye and Kim have been disputing since it bubbled to the surface earlier this year.

And with reports gaining more and more momentum in recent weeks, Kim Kardashian clearly decided enough was enough.

Taking to social media to out Taylor and her apparent manipulation of both the media and the situation, Kim tweeted: “Do you guys follow me on snap chat? U really should.”

Sharing footage of the conversation which took place between her husband and Taylor regarding lyrics contained in Famous, Kim made sure the public knew that Taylor was in on the lyrics from the get-go.

Appearing flattered by her inclusion in the track, Taylor even called it a compliment and assured Kanye that she would confirm she approved the line “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex.”

To even the most disinterested listener, it seems Taylor was on board from the start and more than happy to play the media at their own game should they suggest there existed an ongoing feud between the pair.

Unsurprisingly, Kim’s leaked footage has sent the internet into total meltdown today, with fans and followers weighing in on the spat, but it was Taylor who everyone wanted to hear from.

Taking to Instagram three hours ago, Taylor shared an image of a spiel she had written in response to Kim’s upload, captioning it: “That moment when Kanye West secretly records your phone call, then Kim posts in on the internet."

Suggesting that Kim had purposely misled the public, Taylor wrote: “Where is the video of Kanye telling me he was going to call me ‘that bitch’ in his song? It doesn’t exist because it never happened.”

You don’t get to control someone’s emotional response to being called ‘that bitch’ in front of the entire world,” she added,

In the lengthy post which has been liked more than half a million times, Taylor added: ”Being falsly painted as a liar when I was never given the full story or played any part of the song is character assassination.”

“I would very much like to be excluded from this narrative, one that I have never asked to part of since 2009.”

With fans and followers from both sides weighing in on the situation, one of T-Swizzle's followers said what everyone is thinking right now, simply writing: "Oh Lawd, this is a hot mess."

"You've brought this to yourself," wrote another follower. "So stop with these pathetic things where you play the victim. You know you not."

"You wouldn't be offended if you weren't caught doing something wrong," added another.

This is definitely going to get worse before it gets better.

Whether you love her or loath her there’s no denying Kim Kardashian has a banging bod, but as her latest interview has revealed the star’s enviable figure didn’t come without a whole lot of hard work.

Yesterday Kim explained to People how she’s managed to drop 70lbs since giving birth to her second child Saint West last December and, as you can imagine, the reality star’s weight loss regime involved a strict diet plan and a lot of exercise.

Speaking at a REVOLVE party in the Hamptons, the 35-year-old told People how she used the Atkins 40 plan to clean up her diet.

She said: "I think dieting is so important to weight loss, whereas, I didn't really ever think that before."

"I thought, 'Oh, I can work out, I can just eat whatever I want.' But you have to work out all the time."

The mother of two explained that while the diet generally didn’t feel overly restrictive, she did find herself cheating while out with her kids but admitted that doing so made her feel awful.

She said: "We eat a lot of fish and turkey…And there would be this trail mix with M&M chocolates with peanuts, so there was stuff that makes it you feel like you can live. And not like super restricted to anything." 

"[But] I started going to Disneyland and taking my kids and eating Churros and all that really crappy stuff that I love."

"But then you feel so s****y after you eat it, when you've been doing so good." 

Kim also told the mag that her sister Khloé was a major inspiration to her, especially when it came to doing 6am workouts.

“I've never seen someone so focused.”

"I saw her naked two days ago changing…And I was, 'Oh, my God. You are my body icon.' She's never been more on fire."

By the looks of things these sisters' hard work is really paying off.

Three police officers have reportedly been confirmed dead after a shooting in Baton Rouge, Louisiana this afternoon.

Emerging reports suggest that seven police officers were shot in total near the Airline Highway in East Baton Rouge.

The Irish Examiner has reported that a manhunt has commenced in the area as one shooter is still on the run, while another has already been shot.

One eyewitness claimed the suspect is heavily armed.

According to the Sunday World, around 20 police officers wearing bulletproof vests are currently at the scene of the shooting which is now under investigation.

Earlier this month a man was shot dead by police officers five miles from the location of today’s shooting.

Ever wonder at what age you'll be considered too old to do the things you love?  Well the results of a newly published British survey are here to tell you just that.

Last month Retiresavvy surveyed 2,000 British people to discover their attitudes towards aging and the results they obtained are pretty grim by all accounts.

“Wearing skinny jeans is not acceptable after you turn 47,” reports the retirement planning website, and once you hit 40 “going on a lads’ or girls’ holiday is out if the question”.

The survey revealed that having a favourite boyband and using text talk isn’t acceptable past 36, while getting tattoos and piercings are activities which should be reserved for those under 38 (we wonder what Dame Judi Dench and her new tat would think of that).

To put the results into context: 37-year-old Kate Hudson might be young enough to bare her bum on Insta but is too old to like boybands, 41-year-old Angelina Jolie can wow on any red carpet but is too old to go on holiday with her friends and 47-year-old Jennifer Anistion can still rock a bikini but needs to reconsider her jean collection.

In some non-ageist news, social media is supposedly acceptable at any age so at least you can Tweet away your anger about not being allowed wear skinny jeans into your fifties.

And thankfully women are more likely than men to reject the stereotypes of old age so hopefully those who are rocking their skinnies, tattoos and One Direction tees will happily continue to do so despite the survey’s findings.

It is finally time to break out the short shorts as the hottest day of the year so far is scheduled in for next week.

According to the Irish Mirror, temperatures are set to hit 27 degrees in parts of Ireland this coming Tuesday making it the best day of the year to date.

Temperatures will range from 23 to 27 degrees around the country, with the best places to catch some rays being inland counties like Laois and Offaly.

And just to make sure we finally get some Vitamin D, Met Eireann has predicted that the weather for the whole of next week should be good with Monday ranging from 21 to 26 degrees, Tuesday being a scorcher and the rest of the week being a comfortable 20 degrees.

While many people don’t understand why anyone would want to go vegan, most of us can admit that the movement has led to the creation of some very inventive foods.

And as impressive as Vegan Chocolate Lasagne and No-Bake Peanut Butter Bars are, they aren’t quite as mesmerising to look at as the vegan Smurf Latte.

According to Refinery 29, Smurf Lattes are a beautiful blue beverage made from E3 live blue algae powder, lemon, ginger, agave and coconut milk.

This striking blue beverage's unique colour comes from the naturally derived superfood blue algae (rather than any artificial substance) and is available from Matcha Mylkbar in Melbourne.

The café’s owner Nic Davidson told Mashable that the drink has a “sweet and soury” kind of taste due to the agave and lemon ingredients and since the Smurf Latte was first featured on Instagram requests for the beverage have been flying in. 

Given that it looks this cool, we aren't surprised.

Every girl knows the horror of the public toilet but unfortunately when nature calls sometimes you’ve just got to brace yourself and chance the nearest loo.

So over the years people have developed a number of defence mechanisms to help make this dreaded scenario as bearable as possible and one such coping strategy involves lining the toilet seat with loo roll to protect your bottom from any nasties which may be on the seat.

But according to The Sun, this very exercise could actually expose you to more unwanted bacteria than if you chanced it and went bare-bummed.

As it turns out, toilet seat design is a lot cleverer than you’d expect because the shape and smooth surface of the potty not only creates a comfortable place to sit but also makes it extremely difficult for germs to attach themselves to the seat with the result that the average public toilet seat cleaner than the average kitchen sink.

Toilet paper on the other hand is designed to be absorbent which makes it the ideal substance for bacteria to grab on to.

When a toilet is flushed germs terrifyingly are launched into the air and therefore land on whatever toilet roll is available – which means that by picking up the bog roll to line your throne, you are actually lining it with the very germs you were trying to avoid.  Horrible, we know.

So next time you're tempted to go public, remember to leave the loo roll where it is and perhaps give hovering a go!

MTV reality star Jenelle Evans has reportedly been involved in a car crash while 10 weeks pregnant with her third child.

According to new police documents obtained by Us magazine, the Teen Mom 2 star told police she was 10 weeks pregnant after she was allegedly involved in a car crash with her latest boyfriend David Eason.

The report – which was filed on Wednesday July 6 – states that Jenelle and her partner were involved in a two-vehicle accident in North Carolina in which David rear-ended another car while at a traffic light.

It then states that the passenger in David’s car – who is believed to have been Jenelle – told police she was pregnant and complained of abdominal pain before being brought to a medical centre for treatment.

While the 24-year-old mother has not directly announced her third pregnancy, she did take to Instagram last night to address the incident and how it has been received by the public.

She wrote: “‘So sad.  ‘Disappointing.’  ‘She should have her tubes tied.’  ‘Did she have a miscarriage or is she still pregnant?!’  ‘3 baby daddies!’”

“These are only some hate comments I have been receiving since yesterday.  I don’t understand what is ‘disappointing’ or ‘sad’?!”

“Why not ask if I’m ok from the car accident?!  Why not be concerned about my health?!  I want privacy.  All of you disgust me.”

“Funny how someone else comes out with news they are pregnant and the world is overjoyed.”

 

 

I'll talk when I want to talk. #FuckOff

The words were defiantly coupled with the caption: “I’ll talk when I want to talk.”

Jenelle is currently the mother of six-year-old Jace – whose birth was documented for MTV’s hit show 16 and Pregnant – and two-year-old Kaiser.

The reality star’s battle with drug addiction has been well documented during her time on Teen Mom 2 and she has been arrested 13 times since the show first aired in 2011.

If you aren’t on your best behaviour at your next Justin Bieber concert, you better be prepared to say Sorry as JB has shown he has no time for messing.

During his sell-out Atlanta show on Friday night, Justin was interrupted mid-speech by a fan who decided to throw something onto his stage and – according to E! – the singer was less than impressed with the move.

Taking the opportunity to make a point, Justin told the crowd: "Take this moment to listen and try not to give me a hat or whatever you're trying to throw onto the stage right now, because I probably don't want that sh*t."  Ouch!

Although his comments received a huge round of applause, the Love Yourself performer quickly realised how harsh his message may have sounded and so, not want to break a Belieber’s heart, he added: “Sorry that was mean.”

The effect of the interruption was then obvious as Justin needed a moment to get his performance back on track.

He said: "But yeah, no I lost what I was going to say."

"I was deep into, like, a mode and a zone. I was — I was into it. Now I'm out of it. I'll get it back. Just give me a second."

The star – who is currently touring the US as part of his Purpose World Tour – then continued his show with a song before once again apologising for calling out the fan: "Sorry for throwing your hat but you ruined the moment…Whatever, let's do it."

It sounds like Justin really did feel bad after all.

He’s the Voice Of Ireland host who pretty much wowed the nation when he got Ed Sheeran to sing Thinking Out Loud as Gaeilge.

Released last year, the album Ceol also featured the likes of The Coronas, Kodaline, and Keywest.

And now Eoghan has revealed in conversation with SHEmazing that he’s all set for Ceol round 2 – and that he has a HUGE US-star lined up for it.

“It’s going to be pretty massive,” the 2fm presenter added.

“We’re almost there on it – it’s just a matter of firming up the detail at this stage. I'm not going to name names just yet, they're up there with, say, Taylor-Swift in terms of fame.”

Eoghan was yesterday hanging out with the likes of Rosanna Davison and Samantha Mumba at the 3Live area at Longitude – where Three was hosting acoustic performances, secret gigs and film screenings.

And at the 3Club, Eoghan also impressed the revellers with an indoor DJ set.

“We’ve had a pretty crap summer and then all of a sudden the sun comes out… so I really wasn’t expecting the crowd to show up in the way that they did. But it was epic!

“I love the The Voice and I’d never knock it but it’s very much ‘silly jokes’. So it’s nice to bring back to music every now and then. There are really only a few companies that really do music properly – and Three is one of them.”

He’s adamant he doesn’t particularly have his sights set on the Late Late gig once Ryan Tubridy moves aside, but the 33-year-old says he loves Brendan O’Connor’s new show, Cutting Edge.

“He probably felt he had something to prove,” Eoghan adds, “but he’s definitely proved it now.”

That and he loves the Ellen DeGeneres format: “She does the silly stuff but then gets Obama for a discussion about racial inequality. It’s seamless.” 

Finally, Eoghan, who has been open about his own battles with depression and self-harm, recommends that everyone has a mentor – admitting that he has three.

“Years ago a guy was over from London to do some work with Spin 1038, where I had a show at the time. He liked what I was doing and brought me back with him to work on XFM – where likes of Dermot O'Leary, Russell Brand, and Ricky Gervais all cut their teeth. 

“That was a turning point. And I know I've been very lucky in my career to date.”

U2 frontman Bono found himself in a worrying position on Thursday night as he reportedly had to be rescued by armed French police from a Nice restaurant. 

According to The Mirror, the Dublin rocker was on the seafront terrace of La Petite Maison in the French city when Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel drove a truck into the Bastille Day crowd killing 84 people.

The Daily Mail has reported that staff in the up-market venue pulled down the shutters when they realised what was happening and told everyone to hide until the all clear was given.

Bono and the restaurant's other diners were said to have been “gripped by fear” as the events unfolded and were later rescued by armed antiterrorist police who led the group to the nearby Massena square.

Restaurant owner Anne-Laure Rubi told a French magazine: “Suddenly I saw people running, without shouting.”

“It was a silent panic – it was extraordinary.”

A diner at the venue said: “It took around half an hour for the police to get us out.”

“Like everybody else, Bono had to put his hands on his head and was told to remain calm.”

On Friday U2 posted a picture of The Edge from their official Twitter account with the caption: “Love is bigger than anything in its way – Bono, Edge, Adam, Larry.”

This is the second time Bono has been close to a major terrorist attack in France as last November he was rehearsing with his U2 bandmates in Paris when 89 people were killed in the nearby Bataclan theatre.
