A Twitter post which Kanye dedicated to his mother on her birthday has social media users in bits today.

Sharing a photo of himself and Donda, who passed away in November 2007, Kanye made reference to the impact her passing has had on their family.

Now a father-of-two, Kanye explained that the granddaughter Donda never got a chance to meet had asked if she could visit her grandmother in heaven.

"Nori asked if the airplane could take her to heaven to see you for your birthday," Kanye wrote in the post which has been liked and retweeted more than a quarter of a million times in the last seven hours.

Exceptionally close to his mother, the world-famous rapper added 'I love you mom' in the moving upload which fans have responded to in their droves.

"Aww that's so sad and sweet she is resting now in peace looking over your guys being a beautiful Angel RIP," wrote a fan of the star. "Happy Birthday."

Other fans uploaded footage of the pair together, with one writing: "Thank you for the son you raised so beautifully. Rest Peacefully."

Let’s be honest, Jamie Dornan is a ride in anyone’s language.

And while fans of the Irish star have long since known he’s more than a little easy on the eye, that doesn’t stop them coming over a little hot and bothered every time he gets his kit off.
 

So the moment footage of him filming the sequel to Fifty Shades of Grey hit the internet today, social media users unsurprisingly wasted no time sharing their thoughts on Jamie’s ‘breathtaking’ physique.

Wearing nothing but a pair of swim shorts – he was on a beach in France after all – 34-year-old Jamie channelled his inner Mr. Grey, and prepared to shoot an outdoor sex scene with his co-star Dakota Johnson.
 

And while many actors might avoid filming such intimate scenes in the presence of their real-life other half, Jamie, on the other hand, harboured no such concerns and invited his wife, Amelia, along to the set.

It looks, however, like fans of the star had less interest in Jamie's laidback approach to the scene, and feared more for each other's wellbeing after exposure to the glory that is Mr. Dornan.

They have a point, in fairness.

Let's be fair, even if they annoy you and a shiver runs down your spine when the Kardashian name is mentioned, the girls have style.

Yes, they might have the odd fashion blunder every now and then (who doesn't?) but most of the time, they look slick AF.

So when Kylie wore a Pretty Little Thing dress to the brand's recent launch party in LA, we couldn't help but look it up – and we were pleasantly surprised.

We thought it might have been one of the pricier ones, or a limited edition that nobody else could get their hands on, but nope, it's sitting on the website in all its glory for under 30 quid.

Coming in at €28, the wrap dress also comes in black, dusty blue and pink and will be a dream to style if you're heading anywhere fancy.

Do it like Kylie and team the dress up with a nude pair of heels and a gold choker for that sophisticated and sexy look.

But if you're not into all that, why not take a total U-turn and add a slick pair of black boots and leather jacket to the get-up?

Or if you're heading away on your holliers, go the complete opposite and dress it down with a pair of flat sandals and a floral kimono. Perfect beachy/summer vibes.

Chelsea, who is set to welcome her first child with fiancé Cole DeBoer, was more than happy to chat with fans about the announcement on Twitter earlier today, and told MTV News: "We’re really excited and Aubree is pumped to be a big sister."

The reality star, whose first delivery was featured on season 2 of 16 and Pregnant, admitted that she's feeling a little more apprehensive the second time around, saying: "I feel more nervous for some reason! It's been a while and I want to do everything perfect."
 

When asked whether she and Cole had planned to have a child before their wedding, Chelsea responded: "Not unplanned! But happened faster than we expected! Super happy! We are very lucky."

"Sometimes it's scary sharing such personal things and letting so many people/opinions into our lives," Chelsea told her 1.5 million followers today. "You guys have made us feel so amazing."

Thanking her followers for their support in light of the announcement, the reality star tweeted: "So overwhelmed by all the sweet comments and support. You guys have no idea how much it means to us."

Chelsea and Cole got engaged in November 2015 after a year of dating.

Peter Andre decided to give his wife, Emily MacDonagh, a rather unusual wedding gift.

As we all know, paper is given on the first wedding anniversary, but instead of giving her a book, or a new journal or even a hand-written song (he is a singer/songwriter, right?), Peter opted to give Emily a photograph… of himself.

 

Part two coming soon…. Happy Anniversary My beautiful wife

Not even one with their daughter on it. Nope, just him (and we're betting it was one from his Mysterious Girl days).

Writing in his New mag column, Peter said: "As it's our first anniversary we're supposed to give each other gifts made out of paper, so I joked that I was going to give her a signed autograph – but I didn't think that was special enough, so I gave her a signed photograph instead."

Peter and Emily have a two-year-old child together and are expecting another baby this year.

With rumours swirling that Lamar Odom has relapsed and Khloé Kardashian has stopped paying his rent in LA, fans of the basketball star have hit out at Khloé for apparently deserting her husband when he needed her most.

And unsurprisingly, the reality TV star refuses to take this sarky remarks lying down and wasted no time hitting back at critics who comment on her personal life.

Taking to Twitter to slam Khloé for dating Treyz Songz, one of the star's followers wrote: "@khloekardashian instead of running the streets with Mr.!steal your girl. You need to be helping your HUSBAND."

Hitting back at her online critic, Khloé suggested she refrain from commenting on matters she knows little about.

"Stay in your f*cking lane little girl. You know nothing about anything," Khloé raged in a post which was liked more than 1,000 times. "You're a sheep herded by society."

Hitting back at the 32-year-old star, the Twitter user posted a montage of tabloid stories involving Khloe and wrote: "This is my lane, sis."

Railing against the KUWTK star, another Twitter user wrote: "You want us to keep up with yall but when we keep up..it's a problem get right sis."

"Truth! We are doing what u asked! Keeping up with you! #kanyeshrug," added another.

The tweet initiated a debate which raged back and forth for hours as some of the star's fans defended her and others called her out on her supposed hypocrisy.

Nobody seemed to notice over the past few weeks that Taylor's boobs seem slightly larger than usual. A good bra or a good boob job?

Well, like a few fans on social media, Ariel Winter seems to think it's a boob job and is all for the singer getting them done.

The Modern Family star, who went under the knife herself last year for breast reduction surgery, has publicly spoken out about body shaming.

She told The Talk: "It took me a while to accept myself and I just hope that girls can learn to accept themselves however big or small their breasts are.

"And I have to say if Taylor Swift did get her boobs done then good for her if she felt like she wanted to.

Ariel also commented on her recent liking to tattoos and how no matter what she gets inked or where she gets it, she's shamed for it.

"Everytime I post about getting a tattoo every single person has something to say about it – 'you should be getting tattoos, you're ruining your body, you're destroying yourself even more, I thought you were pretty and a nice person, you're just trash'."

I think we can all learn from Ariel and just be happy with our bodies and ourselves. Be who YOU want to be.

In an open letter published on the Huffington Post website, Jennifer Aniston put to bed any speculation that she might be pregnant.

Titled "For The Record", Jennifer began by saying that her decision to speak had more to do with starting a conversation rather than actually dismissing the rumours.

“Let me start by saying that addressing gossip is something I have never done.  I don’t like to give energy to the business of lies, but I wanted to participate in a larger conversation that has already begun and needs to continue.”

Jennifer hit the headlines after a picture of her in a swimsuit lead some to believe she may be pregnant.

“For the record, I am not pregnant. What I am is fed up.

“I’m fed up with the sport-like scrutiny and body shaming that occurs daily under the guise of ‘journalism’ the ‘First Amendment’ and ‘celebrity news’.”

The 47-year-old actress went on to describe her relationship with the media and the scrutiny she’s been victim to.

“Every day my husband and I are harassed by dozens of aggressive photographers staked outside our home who will go to shocking lengths to obtain any kind of photo.

“This past month in particular has illuminated for me how much we define a woman’s value based on her marital and maternal status.

“The sheer amount of resources being spent right now by press trying to simply uncover whether or not I am pregnant (for the bajillionth time… but who’s counting) points to the perpetuation of this notion that women are somehow incomplete, unsuccessful, or unhappy if they’re not married with children. “

Jennifer has been in the public eye for over 20 years and has faced ridiculous rumours and embarrassment in the media.

However, this is one woman who is not letting the headlines define her life.

“We are complete with or without a mate, with or without a child.

“That decision is ours and ours alone. Let’s make that decision for ourselves and for the young women in this world who look to us as examples.

“We don’t need to be married or mothers to be complete. We get to determine our own ‘happily ever after’ for ourselves.

Saying all this, Jennifer still does not rule out having children rather admits she is not actively trying.

“I have grown tired of being part of this narrative. Yes, I may become a mother someday, and since I’m laying it all out there, if I ever do, I will be the first to let you know.”
