According to emerging reports, Gardaí investigating the case of Kym Owens are now trying to establish if the student may have suffered her injuries in a fall.

The 18-year-old remains in critical condition after sustaining multiple severe head injuries as she walked to her student accommodation on November 20.

Gardai believe that the injuries were the result of a serious assault, but medical examinations of the teen's injuries now suggest that they could be consistent with a fall, according to The Irish Times.

After launching an investigation into the incident, Gardaí took more than 200 statements, and it was recently confirmed that three women are currently under investigation.

"Three young females are being investigated for the attack, and it is hoped that they will be interviewed in the coming days," a source revealed.

The Gardai are urging anyone with any information to please come forward, as an assault is still believed to be the primary cause of the injuries.

Justin Bieber has enjoyed multiple sold out gigs in Dublin since he rose to fame in 2009 with his teeny bopper hit One Time.

The hit maker revealed brand new dates for his Purpose World Tour, coming to Dublin next summer.

After his sold out gigs in November, fans are taking no chances this time around and Dubliners have camped out all night in from of St Stephen's Green shopping centre in the hopes of getting tickets. 

Some hardcore fans have been there since yesterday afternoon and camped out in tents at the door of the shopping centre. 

The queue snaked all the way down King Street and fans tried to combat the torrential ran with umbrellas perched over their fold-up chairs and flasks of tea clasped in their gloved hands to ward off the cold. 

The crowd consisted mostly of teenage girls and Mammies, presumably hoping to nab the tickets as a trophy Christmas gift.

When asked why they decided to stay out all night in the hopes of getting tickets, one young fan told SHEmazing!: "Because he is the love of my entire life and I will support that man until my last breath."

Fingers crossed they all get a ticket!

Kim Kardashian has been taking a well deserved break from the spotlight since she was held at gun point in an armed robbery at her luxury apartment in Paris.

Since the crime occurred on October 2, the reality TV star has kept a low profile, only being spotted out and about once in the last three months.

It seems that Kim is beginning to reestablish her social life, as she was snapped with a pal at a Christmas party at the Forum in Inglewood, California.

Hopefully this semi-public outing will be followed by the selfie queen's return to social media in the new year.

The star last posted on Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat on the day of the robbery, but there has been no trace of her online ever since.

Kim recently made an appearance in Love magazine's advent calendar, a video series which releases a video of one star a day until Christmas.

Previous advent videos have featured the likes of Bella Hadid, Kendall Jenner, Emily Ratajkowski and Rita Ora.

The A-list Hollywood duo have been especially guarded of their children's privacy ever since daughter James arrived two years ago.

Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively have since gone on to have another daughter – born in September of this year – though as yet her name has not been revealed.

What now has been unveiled, however, is the children themselves… and they're every bit as precious and gorgeous as we imagined.

Yes, BOTH adorable Reynolds-Lively offspring turned up for their dad's Hollywood Walk Of Fame unveiling earlier today. 

And while the afternoon was all about Ryan, he made sure his wife of four years was firmly in the spotlight too.

"I want to thank my wife, Blake, who is sitting right there, who is everything to me," he begin in a speech which frankly still has us weeping with joy.

"You are the best thing that has ever happened to me.

"You make everything better. You make everything in my life better. You've given me two of the most incredible children I've ever hoped to have."

Blake, 29, looked suitably stunning in a knee-length blue dress while man-of-the-hour Mr Reynolds, 40, was dapper in a complementing suit. 

James and her sister meanwhile were just, well, totes adorbs.

Just days after Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk announced they were expecting their first baby together, media outlets in the US have gone into overdrive over the appearance of a ring on Irina's left hand.

While getting her chill on during a spa day in LA, the model was spotted rocking one seriously stunning emerald ring which has led most people to believe a trip up the aisle is most definitely on the cards.

While the couple have been dating since last year, they only made confirmed it in May and rarely shy away from public displays of affection.

After news broke that they were set to become parents, sources revealed that Bradley has become especially protective over Irina as she prepare for jobs abroad.

"He has been spotted dropping her off at the airport with kisses as she is about to take off for another job,” the source said. “They are just a very sweet couple."

The Russian-born 30-year-old began dating the Hangover actor in 2015 after a five-year relationship with international footballer Cristiano Ronaldo.

Vogue Williams is one busy lady. From being the brand ambassador of Easilocks to the new face of Irish tanning brand, SunKiss, it baffles us how she has any time to herself.

But as we chatted to her today, Vogue was putting up her Christmas tree (the colour theme is red, gold and white FYI), even though she admits that she'll barely see the tree over the Christmas holidays.

And why won't she? Well, work.

Her many TV shows have boomed over the years, and the blonde beauty says she owes that success to the topics in each series – they're real issues for real people.

"I get into real topics that people can relate to. And from those TV shows, I learn a lot and I hope the viewers learn a lot too. 

"So much goes into them, but for next year you're going to see more gritty topics being discussed."

Right now, Vogue swears she can't discuss those "gritty" topics because she "has to see if they'll let me put them on TV first!"

Many look up to Vogue, as she went from being a model to a DJ and now a star on our TV screens, but she knows just as well as anyone that breaking into TV is no easy feat. And even when you have broken that barrier, you still have to handle rejection.

For anyone who wants to go down the television career path, Vogue says that you have to give up a chunk of your life.

"You really need to love it, and honestly, you have to give up your life a little bit. I miss out on so many things. But, if TV is something you want to do, you can't give up on it.

"You will get knocked down, I have. But you just have to go for it, and if it's something you love doing, you won't mind working at it everyday."

When Dancing With The Stars Ireland was announced this summer, it was common knowledge in the realms of the Internet that Vogue was set to present the show. The presenting gig ultimately went to Amanda Byram and Vogue admits that she was disappointed with the news at first.

"I really wanted to be a presenter on Dancing With The Stars, but I didn't get it. At first I was raging, but then I got The Jump, so it all worked out."

And as for handling the rejection? The Dublin native believes that you just have to move on.

"That's just life. For the most part, I don't see it as rejection. I just think that you have to get on with it and move on.

"What's meant for you won't pass you by."

With every job that's in the public eye, you have to look your best – and we think Vogue is an absolute pro at this stage. But, instead of keeping up with the gltz and glamour, Vogue likes to look after her skin first and foremost.

"I love facials. I always have facials. Recently, my skin has flared up, and that never happened to me before, so I'm swearing by facials from Renaissance in Howth at the moment."

And as for her tan, Vogue is loving SunKiss. After recently being named as the new face of the brand, the DJ says that it's the best she's used in years. 

 

A photo posted by voguewilliams (@voguewilliams) on

"You know what, it lasts so much longer!" she gasps. "I'm not overly-girly, and don't like having to take loads of time out to do my tan, but SunKiss is so easy to apply. I have it on in about ten minutes.

"I have mine on for about a week at this stage, and I constantly have showers after the gym, but it's still perfect. The last time I applied it, it last for two weeks!"

Is it just us or does Vogue seem to have it all worked out?!

Former One Direction member, Louis Tomlinson, has been widely lauded for his performance on last weekend's X Factor finale.

Just days after his mother's passing, the singer took to the stage at one of the biggest television events of the year, and did an incredibly job.

And while she was full of praise for Louis, last year's X Factor winner, Louisa Johnson, insists she wouldn't have been able to do the same had she been in the same situation.

"I thought he was so brave. I don’t think I could have actually done that," she told The Sun newspaper.

"I really really felt for him and looked up to him for that," she continued.

The singer, who became the youngest ever winner of the long-running singing contest following her victory last year, insists Louis' appearance deserves the utmost respect.

"Losing someone is such a hard thing in itself and to then go on a show in front of millions of people is very hard anyway and I think he handled it so well."

Louis' mother, Johannah, was just 43-years-old when she lost her six-month battle with leukaemia last week.
