Currently cruising around on a yacht in the French Riviera, suffice to say that Kourtney Kardashian's Thursday is probably going somewhat better than yours is. 

Yup, the 37-year-old reality TV star is right this moment spending a spot of down-time with her kids – Mason, six, Penelope, four, and 18-month-old Reign – on a sprawling boat on the Mediterranean.

She has also been joined by her mother Kris Jenner and Kris's long-term boyf, Corey Gamble, 35.

Scott Disick, the father of Kourt's children, was not in attendance. 

And just when we reckoned we couldn't get any more envious of her carefree holiday – Ms Kardashian this evening posted a selfie of her gorgeous gold bikini, showing off her pretty rockin' bod in the process. 

The snap has already garnered hundreds of thousands of likes, with many fans commenting that Kourtney looks all sorts of seriously amazing – especially considering she has had three children.

The star has said in the past that she works out up to five times a week with a personal trainer.

This is a developing story.

According to emerging reports, police in the States are currently investigating a shooting at a high school in Texas.

It has since been established that one of the shooters has now been confirmed dead.

Commenting on the devastating incident, the school district confirmed that the school, which has approximately 280 students, has been placed on critical lockdown.

The shooting has taken place just two weeks into the new school year.

For Kim Kardashian it took baring all with a champagne glass balanced on her ginormous behind to finally break the Internet.

But for Zayn Malik, it seems all that’s required is the spurting of a bit of facial hair.

Despite his ongoing personal struggles, the former One Direction band member made an appearance at Tom Ford’s New York Fashion Week party last night to support his girlfriend of almost six months Gigi Hadid.

But while the singer’s perfectly cut double-breasted suit and black polo combo ensured he was looking very dapper on the night, it’s his blossoming beard which really sent his fans into overdrive.

As usual Twitter has become the main outlet for Zayn’s fans’ frenzy, so naturally we’ve compiled some of the best reactions to Zayn's beard for your enjoyment.  Check them out below:

When news broke that Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston had parted ways, the internet was awash with sarky remarks from members of the public asking how long it would take before Taylor cashed in on the break-up and wrote an album of broken-hearted love songs.

Well, it looks like someone has beaten Taylor to the post, and it definitely wasn't who we expected.

Stringless guitar in hand, US chat show host, Stephen Colbert, pulled up a stool and paid tribute to one of the summer's most talked-about romances on last night's episode of The Late Show.

Like many of us who felt we were a reluctant part of the year's biggest showmance, Stephen tapped into the notion by sharing snaps of himself alongside the couple in some of their most infamous shots.

And in one very quick turnaround, he bid goodbye to Hiddleswift and admitted he has his sight sets on the newest Hollywood couple…

When you appear on a show entitled Tattoo Fixers, you'd be forgiven for thinking your tattoo would get… well… fixed.

And after your chosen artist works their magic on your original dodgy inking, you wouldn't expect to see any further mistakes, would you?

Well, unfortunately for one member of the public who rocked up on the super-popular E4 show, their replacement tat is in need of a little editing.

Having been tended to by Alice Perrin, Kat now sports a a tattoo of a clock which boasts two elevens and no number nine.

And viewers wasted no time calling Alice out on her error, with one taking to Twitter to write: "#TattooFixers going to have to do another cover up on this one… two 11s and no 9?"

Thankfully for Alice, many Twitter users rushed to her defence, insisting that tat mistakes happen from time to time.

Guys, we think she knows this – the clue is in the name…

We know and love her from her S Club 7 days ("there ain't no party…") but Hannah Spearritt was completely unrecognisable when she stepped out in London earlier this week. 

Embracing a cool Goth vibe, the 35-year-old was attending the Everyday Heroes Party.

Wearing high-waisted SUPER long black trousers, she teamed those with a turtle-neck which boasted long-sleeves and lace detail. 

Her makeup was also seriously on point: Hannah rocked a dewy foundation with heavy kohl eye-pencil and bright red lips.

Of course, the one-time pop starlet was part of the mega-selling S Club 7 in the late Nineties and early Noughties. They sadly disbanded in 2003, although they reunited last year for a once-off arena tour.

Ms Spearritt has more recently turned her attentions to acting and earlier this year, she played Mercedes Christie in Casualty.

Remember that now legendary Friends episode where Joey is called upon to assist Monica after she was stung by a jellyfish?

Well, after years of wondering whether or not urine could actually cure a jellyfish sting, we finally have an answer courtesy of one rather unlikely pairing.

In a new clip from Running Wild With Bear Grylls, former Spice Girl Mel B is forced to pee on the show’s host after he received a nasty sting from a jellyfish he had picked up to assess for edibility.

The 41-year-old singer explained to the camera: “I’ve seen it in movies before where someone gets stung by a jellyfish someone has to pee on them.”

And so – in the words of Joey Tribbiani – Mel “stepped up” and asked the British adventurer if he needed her to pee on his hand.

After receiving confirmation that Bear was not in a position to perform the dreaded act on himself, Mel got to work with curing his ailment.

But their mission is quickly cast into doubt by a cutaway in which Mel tells the camera: “To pee on demand when someone’s in pain is very difficult.”

Unfortunately for all involved, the clip ends before it is actually confirmed that Mel does manage to overcome her stage fright and pee on Bear.

Then again, some things are probably best left to the imagination.

The latest celebrity relationship news is actually quite a shocker.

Gwen Stefani's ex-husband Gavin Rossdale is now dating Tiger Woods' ex-wife Elin Nordegren.

According to Us Weekly, the relationship is still in the early stages but a close source said the pair totally "hit it off on their first date."

Yep. So the man that cheated on his (stunning) wife with the nanny, is now going out with a woman who was cheated on by her former hubby.

Hollywood romances, eh?

The website claims that the pair have been flying from Florida to LA to see each other and "they want to make it work."

We're not sure about this one!

Whether you watch Game of Thrones or not, you know it's somewhat of a TV phenomenon.

And when you love the show, you really, really love the show.

So, it's no real surprise that this busker in Town Hall Station in Sydney began absolutely coining it the moment he began playing the theme song from the smash-hit fantasy show.

Violinist Vasiliy Shapkin managed to lift the daily drudgery for these commuters, and by the monetary offerings and round of applause he received at the end, it looks like they were pretty grateful for it.

Prepare yourselves for some serious goosebumps, ladies.

When news broke that the world could kiss goodbye to the 'love story' that was Hiddleswift, sources close to the Shake It Off singer made sure the public knew that it was Taylor who called time on the whirlwind romance.

"She was the one to put the brakes on the relationship," a source told US Weekly, but it sounds like there's more to the story than meets the eye.

While rumours swirl that Taylor couldn't handle Tom's desire to court the media (no, seriously), sources in the British actor's camp are fairly scathing of the accounts.

According to the Daily Mail, Tom was simply adhering to his three-month rule before giving the singer the ol' heave-ho.

"He grew tired of Taylor, it wasn’t the other way round," an insider revealed. "The reports are wide of the mark and come as news to all Tom’s friends."

Apparently, the Thor actor struggles to commit to any one woman and found himself bored of the whole relationship.

"Tom drifted from her and it had nothing to do with her being put off by the publicity," a friend of Tom's revealed.

"It’s more to do with the fact he’s a commitment-phobe who gets bored very easily," they added before admitting Tom's sisters give him grief over his reluctance to give any relationship a real shot.

Ouch!

He might be best known for his playboy ways on MTV’s Geordie Shore, but if Gary Beadle’s latest conversation with Lillie Gregg proves anything, it’s that the Newcastle native is a big softie at heart.

During a heartfelt conversation which was filmed for the latest series of Ex On The Beach, Gaz was reduced to tears as he confessed the realities of breaking up with Lillie, whom he had dated for a year.

Despite much speculation that Gaz had left Lillie to reunite with Charlotte Crosby, when asked by Lillie why they really broke up the 28-year-old reality star admitted that he had felt forced to choose between his career and their romance.

He said: “That was one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever had to make in my whole entire life.  Our relationship or my work.”

Describing life in front of the camera as “the only thing [he’s] any f*cking good at”, Gaz told his model ex: “I had to pick what I thought was best for me at the time.  As hard as that was, it meant leaving you.”

He then apologised to Lillie for how he treated her and her family after their split, an admission which brought both Lillie and Gary to tears.

“I’m sorry for the way I treated you after.  I’m sorry if I didn’t message your family because they’ve been nothing but nice to us,” he said.

During the strikingly real conversation, Lillie also told Gaz that the best memories of her life have been with him.

Through tears Gaz replied: “You made me realise that there’s more to life than what I was doing.”

“People who say I’ve changed, it’s because of you.  I can never thank you enough for that.”

 

 

Since splitting with Gaz late last year Lillie has been linked with Celebrity Big Brother winner Stephen Bear but now that that relationship has come to a dramatic end, could a reunion be on the cards for Gaz and Lillie?

For now, we’ll have to wait and see.

Let's be honest, nobody wants to wake up to a clown standing at the end of their bed.

And yet there are some people who will more than happily attend a circus, look at a photo of a clown without shuddering and even sit through Stephen King's IT without breaking into a sweat.

And then there are the other people – people who would rather swim shark-infested waters than spend a moment in the presence of a clown, whether in person or on television.

While the fear may sound juvenile, and something we should have grown out of during adolescence, a vast number of adults suffer from coulrophobia, 

But it turns out our phobia is far from irrational and something which psychologists assert affects at least 12 per cent of American adults.

Outlining why we're justified in our fear of those Godforsaken creatures, psychology professor at Temple University, Frank Farley, said: "They’re hiding their natural face."

"It can raise suspicion or fears," he explained. "Are we in danger? Should we be concerned to be in the presence of the individual?”

But if that was the case, we'd all be reduced to sniffling messes in the presence of a motorcyclist, so what gives?

Well, further to the concealment of their natural faces, many of us aren't so keen on their make-up.

"They are still recognisable – two eyes, a nose, a mouth, for example, but these features are exaggerated," he continued. "That's actually the basis for a lot of fear — the uncanny moment, where things look both familiar and unfamiliar."

And then there's that endless, unnerving smile, right?

Clinical psychologist, David Kupfer, explains: "If someone smiles at you all the time, you don’t trust them. I wonder when I see a clown face what is behind that face."

"I probably suspect that there is something not so smiley or something potentially harmful behind that happy, unrealistically happy, face." he added.

Yup, nailed it.
