Keeping Up With the Kardashians matriarch Kris Jenner was reportedly involved in a car accident near her home yesterday afternoon.

According to TMZ, the famous momager has possibly been left with a broken wrist after a Prius van ran a red light before crashing into Kris’ white Rolls-Royce.

The front of Kris’ week-old car was destroyed as a result of the collision.  She was treated at the scene by paramedics who were cautious about removing her from the car for fear of making her injury worse.

A source told E! News that the reality star is “shook up” after the incident, but Kris says that despite her hurting hand she is alright.

When a worried fan tweeted Kylie Jenner about the accident, the teen responded by writing: “I was not involved in the accident.  Everything’s ok.”

 

Get well soon, Kris.

A woman in her 60s has been killed and five people have been injured during a knife attack in central London which occurred around 10.30pm last night.

According to The Sun, the woman – who has yet to be identified – is believed to have been a Spanish speaker who was in the area on a hen do.

A 19-year-old man was arrested at the scene after being tasered by armed police who arrived within five minutes.   

A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police said that terrorism and mental health issues have not yet been ruled out as motives for the attack.

The Guardian has reported that Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley said: “Early indications suggest mental health is a significant factor in this case and that is one major line of inquiry.”

“But of course at this stage we should keep an open mind regarding motive and consequently terrorism as a motivation remains but one line of inquiry for us to explore.”

The condition of the attack’s other victims – two women and three men – is still unknown.

I'm a self-confessed Disney lover. I grew up watching the movies over and over again and started going to Disneyland, Paris at the age of one (I've been an embarrassing number of times).

So, if you're just as obsessed as me, then you'll be happy to know that the company want to hire a few Irish people.

The theme-park announced that it is hiring in sales, the food & beverage department and the hospitality department.

But, as always, the applicants must have the following skills:

  • An excellent sense of service
  • Great communication and people skills, as well as respect for perfect procedure
  • Comfort in speaking in French and English
  • A third European language is a plus

If you have all of these and want to find out further, check it out here.

If only I listened in Leaving Cert French…

I have to say that I'm a big fan of the marble effect. It just makes everything look so slick and clean.

And if you love marble the same way I do, then you're going to jump for joy at this video which shows you how to create the marble effect at home.

How to Make Marbled Planters
In this *Teen Vogue* “Dorm It Yourself” tutorial, Chloe Daley shows how to make marbled planters using water and nail polish.

In this case, TeenVogue and designer Chloe Daley create the look on potted plants – but we're sure you can do it on anything you fancy.

You will need a terra cotta pot (if you choose to do up a plant pot like Chloe), white paint, a paintbrush, nail polish, a toothpick, and a plastic container. 

It actually looks easier than we thought, which means; hello marble everything.

As the US presidential election is heating up, more and more people want to know about the private lives of the presidential candidates.

And when Hilary Clinton hugged her nephew after her nomination acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention last week, everyone wanted to know who that man was.

Well, his name is Tyler Hilton and he's an aspiring model who just graduated from California's Loyola Marymount University this past May.

Since catching everyone's attention with that hug, pictures of Tyler have surfaced online from a shoot he did with photographer, Adina Doria.

Adina told ET Online: "He was incredibly professional, very well-mannered and a truly genuine person. He was friendly to everyone on set and arrived early to location."

However, if you're hoping he's a single pringle, you're going to be disappointed as the photographer also let slip that Tyler has a girlfriend: "I learned he and his girlfriend are very active in the LGBT rights movement," she added.

Ah well, you win some, you lose some.

The Shining will go down in history as one of the most frightening films in cinematic history.

From those damn twins to that hideous hall of blood, Stanley Kubrick's 1980 classic is a movie which set Jack Nicholson apart from almost every other actor of his time.

Transitioning from the archetypal family man to a deranged individual intent on ending his wife's life, Jack's performance as Jack Torrance hit its peak when he smashed through the bathroom door growling: "Here's Johnny!"

Axe in hand, Jack epitomised every person's worst nightmare, and it looks like preparing for the scene was as intense as the viewer might expect.

Hitting YouTube yesterday, Jack can be seen talking frantically to himself, jumping up and down, and sprinting on the spot as crew members milled through the set in preparation for the scene's take.

And then it begins…

Yes, it’s all official; after been licensed to more than 50 countries including South Africa, India, New Zealand, Colombia and the US… it's finally our turn to welcome Dancing with the Stars.

Some 11 famous celebrities will soon be paired off with professional ballroom dancers – and we can’t wait to see who the well-known faces are.

RTÉ confirmed this evening in a statement that the show will air in early 2017.

The national broadcaster said: “We are delighted to be bringing such a hugely popular format as Dancing With The Stars to RTÉ One. The show has been a global phenomenon, attracting huge audiences wherever it has aired and we are confident that Irish audiences will take this home-grown version to their hearts.”

A further statement added: “We’re thrilled that RTÉ will be airing Dancing With The Stars, as this format is loved all across the world. We continue to get such great feedback from every country where it airs, so we can’t wait to see how the Irish audience respond to it.”

Since the broadcaster's announcement, people have flocked to social media to ponder who will take part on the show with Twink, Linda Martin and Teresa Mannion all taking the top spot.

It has also been widely assumed that Dancing with the Stars will replace The Voice of Ireland, and the show's presenters, Kathryn Thomas and Eoghan McDermott, will swiftly jump to the dancing ship.

If you arrived back from lunch looking like you've been dragged through a hedge backwards, you mightn't be surprised to learn that a weather warning has been issued for this evening.

With many parts of the country experiencing seriously strong gales, the good folk at Met Eireann have put a marine status yellow gale warning in place.

For those living on the coast, you guys are set to endure the worst of it, with forecasters drawing specific attention to Belfast Lough, Roches Point and Rossan Point.

"Southwest to west gales or strong gales today on Irish coastal waters from Belfast Lough to Roches Point to Rossan Point and on the Irish Sea," read the warning.

Taking to Twitter, they advised the public that conditions are set to calm as the night progresses with winds moderating and showers becoming isolated overnight.

They may become isolated overnight, but we're not taking any chances tomorrow.

Umbrellas, a go.

In a makeover I never saw coming, Shay Mitchell is now a blondie.

Since the beginning of Pretty Little Liars, the girls have all chopped and changed their hairstyle is some way, but Shay always remained the same; glossy, long, dark locks.

So it was super surprising when Shay shared a photo of her and her co-star Ashley Benson, both rocking blonde hair.

 

Double trouble. #findingoutifblondesreallydohavemorefun

Shay captioned the photo: "Double trouble #findingoutifblondesreallydohavemorefun."

Whether this is a wig, or a real dye job, I don't know, but she's certainly killing it.

It seems like Kylie Jenner is really treating herself for her birthday this year.

Not only did she buy herself a new dog and a $200,000 car, but now she's getting a little Insta treat, too.

The reality star took to Twitter to reveal that she's going to disable her comments:

She wrote: "So I'm trying out disabling my comments on Instagram because I'm done w people self-promoting & the "LB"s."

So, it's actually not all the haters that she wants to say goodbye to, it's the annoying 'LB' comments that bother her most, which we totally understand. 

When you're trying to read through a celeb's comments, they're annoying AF.

There have been more times than we care to admit where we've had to be convinced by loved ones to remove our pyjamas and properly dress ourselves before leaving the house for some much-needed joe.

Whether we're hungover and need a grande Americano to settle our nerves or sideways with exhaustion and need a quick Espresso to sort us out, much of our desire for coffee comes when we're rocking a dressing gown.

And you know where you can wear a dressing gown with very few people seeing you? That's right, the safety of your own car.

So, we are PUMPED that Starbucks has decided to open its first-ever drive-thru store in Ireland, but we're a little less pumped that it might just take a few hours to get there…

Set to open in Belfast at the beginning of next year, you're going to have to decide whether your need for caffeine without being seen is as strong as you have always maintained it is.

"The decision by Starbucks to choose Connswater as its first location in Northern Ireland for a drive-through store demonstrates the confidence that retailers have in the scheme and its strategic location in east Belfast,"  said Laura McCarthy of Killultagh Estates.

Asset manager for the company which has signed a deal with the global coffee chain, Laura added: "With such positive activity taking place we believe that now is the right time to invest in the wider project."

OK, so it's not as close as we'd like, but with a little enthusiasm it'll hit the capital in no time, right?

Apart from calling out Kimye and wishing BFF Selena Gomez happy birthday, Taylor Swift has stayed away from social media over the past number of weeks.

With all the controversy surrounding her, it's easy to see why she didn't post anything, but in the small hours of this morning, the songstress made her way back to Instagram.

Taking to Instagram Stories, Tay shared a video of her cat, Olivia.

Ms Swift doesn't actually appear in the small clip, but can be heard talking as Olivia figures out if she's a cat or a squirrel.

Hmmm, OK?

Tay's very quiet return comes after Justin Bieber said he's on Kimye's team yesterday.

Even though she's back, we can't see things calming down anytime soon for her.
