Congrats are in order for Nev Schuman – he's just welcomed a little baby girl.

Nev and his fiancée Laura Perlongo welcomed their baby girl, Cleo James, into the world on Friday.

The proud parents took to Instagram to share the great news. 

Laura shared a photo of her breastfeeding and wrote: "I don't remember this photo being taken or anything about the last 24 hours but bb girl has finally arrived."

"Completely enamored with 6lb 10oz Cleo James born this morning at 6:01. She's everything."

Nev later took to social media to share a picture of him holding his new daughter and wrote: "Best. Thing. Ever. Cleo James arrived at 6:01am weighing 6lbs 10oz. Shout out to my baby mama @el_peego for delivering this bundle of joy."

We're delighted for the new parents!

Graham Norton has always proudly professed his love of living and working in the UK, but the much-loved star admitted this weekend that events of the past few months have left him rather disillusioned.

The presenter and comedian was appearing on The Late Late Show last night, when talk turned to the impending Brexit – and he could not hold back his disappointment over the major political decision.

The 53-year-old admitted he was amazed that the people of Britain voted Brexit through in the first place.

“I was astonished that people bought the pack of lies they were sold, and I feel sorry for the people who voted for it, because they were lied to. They were promised things that are never going to happen,” he said.

Graham went on to tell Ryan Tubridy that he is now concerned over the impact that Brexit will have on Britain’s youth, in particular.

“What is so sad about Brexit is that people over 60 – because it was people over 60 passed that thing – closed so many doors on young people, and shut down options. Shut down options about studying abroad, living abroad, working in places….Don’t make the world smaller, don’t shut things down,” he added.

Graham’s comments gained plenty of support across social media, with many people taking to Twitter to applaud his insights.

“Interesting hearing Graham Norton on Brexit. Again, I agree with him. Nice hearing someone talk about it with sense,” wrote one viewer.

Do you agree with Graham?

When Anne Hathaway finished filming Lés Miserables, it seemed like people were giving her a lot of hate, but it turns out she was dealing with much more than she was letting on.

In an interview with The Guardian, Anne explained that when she won her Oscar for Les Miserables, she was still in her character, Fantine's mindset.

"I felt very uncomfortable. I kind of lost my mind doing that movie and it hadn't come back yet. Then I had to stand up in front of people and feel something I don't feel which is uncomplicated happiness.

"It's an obvious thing, you win an Oscar and you're supposed to be happy. I didn't feel that way. I felt wrong that I was standing there in a gown that cost more than some people are going to see in their lifetime, and winning an award for portraying pain that still felt very much a part of our collective experience as human beings.

"I tried to pretend that I was happy and I got called out on it, big time. That's the truth and that's what happened. It sucks. But what you learn from it is that you only feel like you can die from embarrassment, you don't actually die."

We think she did an amazing performance as Fatine.

Earlier this year, Azelia Banks let rip at Zayn Malik on Twitter in a tirade of homophobic and racist remarks.

She tweeted such things like, "Dude, I make better music than you. Simmer down with that fake white boy rebellion and that wannabe beiber swag," and "Lol u a b**ch n***a." There were many more tweets, but let's just say the language in them went from bad to downright awful.

At the time, Zayn simply replied to her, ""@AZEALIABANKS why you been saying nasty things about me? I wasn't talking about you."

However, now the 25-year-old has penned an open apology to the former Directioner.

She sent the letter into Us Weekly, and you can read it below:

For the most part, when celebs have surgery they keep it on the DL, but not Kerry Katona.

The mum-of-five took to Twitter today to tell her fans she's recovering from liposuction and a tummy tuck.

She wrote: "Well I’ve been recovering from having a s**t load of lipo!! #dontjudge!! 5 kids and all!! And a mini tummy tuck!Just a kick up the arse x."

She then followed that tweet with: "Don’t wanna be the fat cat in the kittens! can’t wait to get back in gym!!"

One fan responded to her saying there's no harm "in a bit of plastic surgery," to which Kerry replied: "It's like going for an eye test these days! How very showbiz."

What do you think of Kerry's decision to be so open?

Even though Halloween is still ten days away, many shops and department stores have already put up their Christmas lights and trees.

Brown Thomas has always been one of those stores that go all out for the festive season, and they went ahead and decorated their windows today – a full two weeks earlier than last year.

The display is somewhat more traditional than previous years, and it was met by some joy, as well as some cynicism.

Here's what the people of Twitter had to say about it:

Well… What do you think of this early display?

The Met Gala is one of the biggest fashion events of the year.

It sees some pretty wild looks from celebs, yet there are always a few gems thrown in among the weird and wonderful.

But it seems 2017 is going to see a more… whacky theme. As rumours from the fashion industry are suggesting, the subject of next year's gala is Rei Kawakubo.

What or who is that, you ask? Rei is the reclusive designer behind a Japanese label called Comme Des Garcons. She's famed for contemporary fashion and often makes radical designs that play with structure, proportions and bold prints.

Can you image what some of the celebs will be dressed like?!

We've been a fan of Bryan Cranston since his Malcolm in the Middle days, so it's safe to say if we came across this in the airport, we'd legit go crazy.

Makenna Enfinger was waiting for a flight in Love Field Airport in the US and was browsing in the Duty Free.

She came across Bryan's new autobiography with a note saying "Open Me" on the front cover. Makenna then found a message from Bryan himself.

It read: "Hi. Hey, thanks for taking a gander at my book. Take this book for yourself FREE! Really. I just bought it – see the receipt.

"I hope you enjoy the read. Have a nice day." Bryan then signed it: "Bryan Cranston, Dallas Airport, Oct 19 2016, 9.45 am."

Imagine picking that up! We have even more love for Bryan now!

Kim Kardashian is – and probably always will be –  an easy target for media outlets and internet trolls.

From homing in on the tape which shot her to super-stardom to questioning her need to share almost every aspect of her life with the world, the reality star has attracted – and successfully defended herself against – countless critics in her time.

And we applaud her for it.

So, as a tribute to Kim on her 36th birthday, we’ve compiled a list of our favourite ‘classic Kim’ moments.

1. That time she covered herself after offering a mate some dodgy advice

2. That time she wasn't afraid to ask the hard questions

3. That time she proved how down with the kids she was

4. That other time she wasn't afraid to ask the hard questions

5. That time she ratted on her own nephew 

6. That time she ratted on her own niece

7. That time she was all of us in work… with a raging hangover

8. That time she was us hearing who our mate hooked up with on the sly

9. That time she was more real about her family than ANY critic

Happy Birthday, Kim!

Normally reserved for covering up embarrassing and sometimes downright AWFUL tattoos, Tattoo Fixers had a slightly different show last night.

Instead of their usual cover-ups, the E4 reality show aired a special episode in aid of Stand Up To Cancer.

Made in Chelsea’s Jamie Laing and news reader Cathy Newman all featured but there was one couple in particular who touched the hearts of everyone watching.

Husband and wife Jon and Claudia lost their son Eddy when he was just seven-years-old following a two-year battle with bone cancer, and both wanted a tattoo to pay tribute to their little boy.

Describing how their son’s death in 2015 was the worst day of their lives, Claudia was bowled over by Jon’s stunning inking of his son’s face on his arm.

"It's incredible, I don't know what to say," Claudia said of her husband's tattoo on his right arm. "He looks so alive."

Claudia opted for Eddy’s name on her wrist with 'love' underneath, and said she felt very emotional looking at it. 

Their heartbreaking story left viewers in tears and many took to Twitter to show their support for the parents.

Jon and Claudia are two truly incredible people.

This week, Nandos gave their menu a little shake up in the UK and Ireland, the first change it has seen since the restaurant made its' way over to our fair green isle.

Now, we all like a little change every now and then, but the chicken chain decided to say goodbye to a very popular burger, and people are seriously p*ssed about it.

The menu said au revoir to the Churrasco Thigh Burger and in its' place is the new Sunset Burger… but Twitter don't like it:

RIP, Churrasco!

While it was all dealt with on the quiet back when it happened, it looks like the fall-out from Perrie Edwards and Zayn Malik's split was pretty horrendous.

And it's all coming out now.

 

In addition to learning that her two-year engagement was over by text, Perrie was left without a place to call her own – something she addresses in the Little Mix autobiography.

"After I split with my partner, out of the blue, I had nowhere to go which was incredibly stressful," she wrote. 

"For a while I had no idea what to do. The girls offered to put me up but they didn't really have room. I thought about renting but I've got dogs and cats, so that was no good." Perrie explained.

 

At the time, the band were promoting Black Magic in the States, and Perrie admits the reality of her situation took a while to sink in.

"While I was in America, things really hit me and I panicked. I realised I was homeless. I was crying every day, dreading coming back."

 

Perrie pays tribute to her mother and Richard Griffiths – the owner of Modest Management – for helping her to settle into Richard's guest cottage until she and her pets could find a place of their own.

"Thank God for him," Perrie wrote. "I put all my stuff in storage, took my dogs and more or less lived out of a suitcase for a good month and a half."

What'll come out next?!
