President Obama serenades his daughter and we CANNOT cope

Jul 5, 2016

We're going to come right out and say it – we adore the Obama family.

From the President's drop the mic public addresses to the First Lady's decision to ride shotgun with James Corden, the Obama family are the family you WISH you had if only everyone could just play it cool for five damn seconds.

And yet while President Obama broke the mould in so many, many ways, he remains steadfast in his traditional approach to one particular job – fatherhood.

Reminding the public that you can be schlick as a world leader but a total goon when it comes to your children, good ol' Barack decided to serenade his oldest daughter during yesterday's 4th of July celebrations in the White House, and we cannot get enough.

From his God-awful singing voice to the appreciative-but-please-stop side hug Malia goes for, this is just too adorable.

Ladies, fast forward to 4.00 for that oh-so-golden moment…

Kim K claims her WAIST was NOT photoshopped in new MILF video

Jul 5, 2016

by Amber Saunders

If the Kardashian girls are known for anything it's got to be their killer curves, but with the release of Fergie's controversial new MILF video people are once again questioning if Kim's waist really is tiny as it seems to be.

Mrs Kardashian West appears numerous times in the star-studded clip and – in classic Kardashian style – she is mostly seen in figure-hugging clothing.

But when the reality star is seen wearing a skin-tight body suit which looks like a pair of booty-shorts and a white MILF tee, her waist looks surreally small when compared to her hips.

Fans are continuing to suggest that her waist has been virtually trimmed down in the shot with comments like "omg her proportions look horrifying" and "the photoshop makes her look so distorted" appearing repeatedly online.

In an attempt to silence the haters – or prove she really does have the most naturally curvacious frame on the planet – Kim took to Snapchat on Sunday to share some behind-the-scenes footage from the making of MILF.

Teaching young girls that in order to be "beautiful" they must cinch a waist trainer and photoshop their figure isn't ok. #MilfMoney

In the clip a blonde Kim can be seen posing on set while the caption reads "F*ckYoPhotoShop #CorsetLife", which would suggest that she has had some waist-defining help in the video but that it's of the more traditional kind rather than being technologically enhanced.

The authenticity of Kim's famous figure was also thrown into doubt back in 2014 when her Internet-breaking Paper magazine cover was released.

At the time Paper’s editorial director told E! News: “So many people have asked us 'Oh, is that butt…it can't be real, it's padded, you added to it, in retouching…' That is all 100 percent Kim Kardashian."

"We did not create a body. We did not shave pounds of her waist."

“That is who she is. That's what she looks like. That's why she's a superstar."

New ROMANCE? Professor Green takes Rita Ora for cheeky Nando’s

Jul 5, 2016

by Amber Saunders

You'd think to woo a star like Rita Ora you'd have to go all out with the glamour – flowers, champagne, fine dining maybe?

But apparently the British singer is quite happy trade all that in for a simple cheeky Nando's!

According to The Sun, Rita was spotted in the popular restaurant with none other than Professor Green last week and the pair were reportedly looking pretty cosy as they chowed down on a portion of Peri-Peri chips.

The recently divorced rapper picked the former X Factor judge up from her East London home on Thursday afternoon before taking her for food.

And, according to a Sun source, the pair even shared a quick kiss when Rita got into the car: “Pro picked Rita up and she seemed really excited to be heading out with him. They had a friendly kiss in the car before heading off.” Cute!

So what happens when two pretty major celebrities walk into a chain restaurant? Well, everyone stares.

The source said: “Inside it was really busy and people did stop and stare."

“It’s not every day two of the biggest pop stars in the country are just hanging out together in your local restaurant."

“They seemed totally relaxed and fine being somewhere down to earth. They were laughing and joking and very comfortable in each other’s company.”

I still have hiccups @RitaOra

— Professor Green (@professorgreen) June 27, 2016

Unfortunately friends close to the pair are insisting they are just old friends and that any car kissing was just to say a friendly hello.

Rita – who was admitted to hospital for exhaustion last week – has recently been linked to her ex Calvin Harris.

Meanwhile rumours have been circulating that Professor Green has a romantic interest in our very own Vogue Williams, but Vogue told Loose Women the pair are just mates.

What better way to celebrate the 4th… than to announce our 4th family member!!! 2 weeks ago we met our beautiful daughter Violet #Happy4th

— John Krasinski (@johnkrasinski) July 4, 2016

Looks like this celebrity couple are sticking with a colourful theme as little Violet now becomes the little sister to two-year-old Hazel.

The pair announced they were expecting their second child in January.

John spoke about adapting to life as a dad on the Ellen show where he said Hazel is trying to decide on what accent she should go with.

"She is talking. She's talking a lot. She's starting to do little bits, which is hilarious. Like if she's looking for me instead of saying, 'Daddy, Daddy,' she says, 'Where is that daddy?'.

"And she's starting to pick up on Emily's accent."

Huge congratulations to the pair and we can’t wait to see pictures.

Will Paris Jackson and her mother finally reconcile after all this time?

Jul 4, 2016

by Rebecca O'Keeffe

Debbie Rowe, the mother of two of Michael Jackson's children, Paris and Prince, has been diagnosed with breast cancer.

The couple met in 1996, while Debbie was working as a nurse in Dr. Arnold's dermatology office, where Jackson was being treated for vitiligo, the disorder that changed Jackson's skin colour.

The 57 year old married the Billie Jean singer in back in 1996, having expressed her interest in having his children.

The love birds had two children during their short three year marriage, Paris Jackson, now 18, and Prince Jackson, now 19.

According to TMZ, Paris, who stopped speaking to her mother over a year ago, is not aware of her mother's illness.

This mother-daughter relationship began to fall apart a few years after Michael Jackson's death, when Paris started dealing with a number of personal issues.

Debbie Rowe is currently engaged to The King of Pop's former business manager, Marc Schaffel.

We hope she has a speedy recovery!

Burn! David Hasselhoff didn’t want Leonardo DiCaprio on Baywatch

Jul 4, 2016

by Amber Saunders

We all know that the TV and movie industry can be a cut-throat business, so we shouldn't be overly surprised that stars miss out on acting roles because of other people's egos, should we?

But we're still a little stunned to learn that David Hasslehoff, who played Mitch Buchanan in Baywatch, ensured the Oscar-winning actor, Leonardo DiCaprio, didn't secure a role on the world-famous TV show when he was 15.

Having tried out for the role of Hobie – David's on-screen son – Leonardo ultimately failed to secure the role despite the fact the production team were all for it.

Speaking to the Hollywood Reporter, show producer, Michael Berk, said: "We actually had DiCaprio ready to be cast. But David thought he was too old to play his son."

Concerned how he would appear to the show's global audience, David persuaded the team to re-cast for the role, with Michael revealing: "David thought it would make him look older. He had a lot of concerns of that type."

The role in the show, which ran from 1989 to 2001, ultimately went to nine-year-old Jeremy Jackson whose star never really ascended as high as good ol' Leo's.

Jeez David…

by Rebecca O'Keeffe

Fergie is back, and the internet is loosing its mind.

The reaction to the video has been mixed, with some people seeing it as degrading and others empowering.

One anti-milf commented on the YouTube video saying 'All I see is women with NO self respect. "Milfs" can be sexy without acting like HOES.'

On the pro side of the argument, we saw a number of very positive reactions to Fergie's concept.

One fan commented on the YouTube post saying 'I love that this song is empowering to mothers, that they are still sexy even though they've had kids! its also the first time they're sexualising moms who breast feed.'

Didn’t think Zac Efron could get ANY hotter? Better check THIS out!

Jul 4, 2016

by Rebecca O'Keeffe

As accents go, we have always been major fans of an Australian twang.

And what is hotter than an Australian accent you ask? Zac Efron doing an Australian accent – THAT'S WHAT.

In a clip from his upcoming movie, Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates, Zac is forced to imitate an Aussie in order to sell Tequila.

Throw some shrimp on the barbie, and have a listen here…

The High School Musical heartthrob spoke to news.com.au, where he mentioned his concerns about his dodgy accent.

"Hopefully I didn’t screw up too bad. It’s a very difficult accent and I have a lot of respect for people that can do it well … and for Australia. So I don’t want to mess it up. But for the sake of comedy I will give it my best shot" the star said.

Don't worry Zac, you were #flawless

Efron has already starred in two major comedies this year, Bad Neighbours 2 and Dirty Grandpa, which leads us to think he is trying his hand at a career as a professional funnyman.

Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates is set for release this Thursday, the 7th, and it looks HILARIOUS.

‘Who y’all raping?’ Zendaya lashes out at troll over ‘disgusting’ post

Jul 4, 2016

by Amber Saunders

With discussion surrounding rape culture – and its prevalence in everyday life – continuing to rage around the world, it's no surprise that things got more than a little heated on Zendaya's Twitter page yesterday when she saw herself included in a post about rape.

Sharing an image, which has since been deleted, the 19-year-old actress expressed her distress over our generation's regard for women and sex crimes.

According to The Independent, the former Disney drew her followers' attention to a post which featured her, Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj and Rihanna alongside a reference to 2013 film, The Purge.

Drawing on the premise of the movie – where all crime is legalised for 12 hours – the Twitter user asked: "If the purge was real, who y'all raping?'

Understandably horrified by the post, Zendaya lashed out at the Twitter user, writing: "This is absolutely disgusting and you should be ashamed of yourself."

"Is this really what my generation thinks is ok? she asked "People are sick."

This is absolutely disgusting and you should be ashamed of yourself. Is this really what my generation thinks is ok? https://t.co/brqVohkX9E

— Zendaya (@Zendaya) July 3, 2016

Having gotten the star's attention, the Twitter troll basked in his newfound online notoriety before Zendaya cut him down with a quick assessment of his characteristics.

"The only thing that's lit is your immorality and inhumanity young man. I pray you find some sense," she wrote.

"I don't think I've ever seen something so disrespectful," wrote one of Zendaya's followers in response to the post while another questioned: "Why are people like this allowed on earth?"

Zendaya's posts on the subject have been liked more than 40,000 times since yesterday.

€24 million? Everything we know about the Dublin Bus lotto winners

Jul 4, 2016

by Rebecca O'Keeffe

The Euromillions jackpot was, once again, won in Ireland this weekend, resulting in 22 VERY happy Dublin Bus workers.

The jackpot of €24 million was won by a syndicate of 22 Dublin bus employees, who are all great friends, on Friday night.

Here is everything we know so far…

1. The syndicate was made of 22 men that work for Dublin Bus.

2. Insiders have said that two of the winners recently retired from work, while another two are currently off work on sick-leave.

3. Dublin Bus Chief Executive Ray Coyne has also congratulated the winners, saying “I am delighted for each and every one of them and their families. It is great to see such a large number of our employees sharing in the win. We wish them all the best.”

4. None of the jackpot winners have spoken out as of yet, but five of the lucky men turned up to work this morning- FAIR PLAY.

5. Unbelievably another syndicate based at the bus same depot won more than €4,000 in the same lotto draw. Winners of this walked away with €126 each.

6. Former Lord Mayor of Dublin, Christy Burke, has also spoken out, sending his well-wishes to the 22 new millionaires.

Mr Burke said “It’s great to see it was workers who have been giving out tickets all their lives that finally got the right one."

7. The jackpot was made up of €23.8 million, which will give each of the winners each a fortune of €1.08 million.

8. This is not the first time that the jackpot has been won in Ireland. In 2005, Dolores McNamara from Limerick, won a casual €115 million in the competition, making her one of the wealthiest people in Ireland.

What would you do if you won the lotto?

BREAKING: ‘I gave it my best shot…’ Chris Evans GONE from Top Gear

Jul 4, 2016

by Amber Saunders

This afternoon, presenter Chris Evans has announced that he is stepping down from Top Gear and will no longer front the hit show.

"Gave it my best shot but sometimes that's not enough," he said in a Twitter message. "The team are beyond brilliant, I wish them all the best."

— Chris Evans (@achrisevans) July 4, 2016

However, the 50-year-old added that he plans on maintaining his other projects, stating: "Full steam ahead then with Radio 2, CarFest, Children In Need, 500 Words and whatever else we can dream up in the future."

This morning, police in the UK confirmed that following an allegation made by an anonymous woman in May, Mr Evans may be charged in relation to an incident of historical sex assault.

Full steam ahead then with Radio 2, CarFest, Children In Need, 500 Words and whatever else we can dream up in the future.

— Chris Evans (@achrisevans) July 4, 2016

The woman, a former colleague, claims that he grabbed her breasts during the 1990s and furthermore claims that he regularly exposed himself in her presence.

Chris has absolutely denied the accusations, which he says amount to nothing more than “witch hunt”. He has added: “All these bullying claims and other allegations are just ridiculous.”

It is understood that Mr Evans made the decision to leave Top Gear last week.

Yesterday, just 1.9m viewers tuned into the show, which has been hit by falling ratings since the departure of controversial Jeremy Clarkson.

Mark Linsey, director of BBC Studios, said this afternoon: "Chris is stepping down from his duties on Top Gear. He says he gave it his best shot doing everything he could to make the show a success.

"He firmly believes that the right people remain, on both the production team and presenting team, to take the show forward and make it the hit we want it to be."
