OK so we all know about Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen and Benji and Joel Madden, but there are some major celebs out there with twins… and we had NO IDEA! 

Take a look at these eight famous faces, and the twins that come with them…

1. Ashton Kutcher and Michael Kutcher 

Ashton’s twin Michael suffers from Cerebral Palsy, a cause for which Ashton has been fighting for since he was very young. Infact, Ashton began his modelling career as a way to make money to contribute to his brother’s medical expenses.

2. Gisele Bundchen and Patricia Bundchen

There must be something in the water in the Bundchen household, because stunning looks seem to run in the family! Gisele's twin sister Patricia began modelling years ago, but is now her sister's manager. 

3. Scarlett Johansson and Hunter Johansson

Scarlett's handsome twin brother, Hunter, was born three minutes after her and regularly joins her on the red carpet. Hunter Johansson lives a low-key life assisting charities and working on political campaigns.

4. Vin Diesel and Paul Vincent

We had no idea, but apparently Vin Diesel has a twin brother called Paul. Vin Diesel posted a photo to his Facebook in 2015 of his fraternal twin brother standing next to his late friend, Paul Walker. Vin's twin lives his life out of the spotlight, and works as a producer. #TWINDIESEL

5. Nicholas Brendon and Kelly Donovan

OK this one is just freaky! Nicholas and his brother were born three minutes apart. Many years later, the twins stood side by side with starring roles in Buffy The Vampire Slayer!

6. Olly Murs and Ben Murs

WHO KNEW? X Factor star Olly Murs was born just minutes before his twin brother, Ben. The twins have been in a feud ever since Ben's wedding, which Olly did not attend because he was on the X Factor. 

7. Aaron Carter and Angel Carter

Everyone knows Aaron Carter’s famous big brother Nick of the Backstreet Boys, but did you know he also has a twin? Angel Carter was born one minute after Aaron and is an aspiring model. Angel recently got married, and her twin Nick walked her down the aisle… cuties! 

8. Siva Kaneswaran and Kumar Kaneswaran

The Wanted star Siva Kaneswaran has an identical twin brother, Kumar. These gorgeous Irish twins were born just a minute apart, and are identical.

The vast majority of us have attempted to keep a food diary at one time or another, right?

Whether it was in the aftermath of a two-week sun holiday when you were convinced the plane was tilting on your side or in the run-up to a special occasion, most of us have given it a whirl.

And while there's nothing embarrassing about a list of food – we mean, it's not like we guard our grocery list with our life – it's not exactly something you share with anyone and everyone.

So, we really feel for Jonah Hill who accidentally shared his personal food diary with Drake – a man he had met only once before.

Opening up about the email eff-up while appearing on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Jonah explained that he had been seeing a nutritionist who had advised him to keep track of his daily eats, and send on the deets each day.

"One night I was at home and bored, and was like ‘Oh I didn’t email this guy. I was looking like an hour later through my sent messages. And it must have been ‘D.r.’ because it was doctor, and I had sent it to Drake," he revealed.

And the worst part? Drake didn't even bother responding.

After telling the Hotline Bling singer he had chowed down on yoghurt, salad and chicken that day, Jonah didn't even get a polite 'congrats, man' in reply.

"He didn’t write back, never spoke to him again," Jonah admitted. "Another guy I’ve gotta dump for the rest of my life, a laundry list of people I can never speak to again."

Jeez Drake, manners much?!

When Queen Bey's Lemonade landed earlier this summer, the world had an absolute field day over Becky with the good hair.

Fingers couldn't point fast enough as the public accused various high-profile women of being the one with the lusturious locks and access to a cell phone, but it turns out we were all wasting our time.

 And even Bey's dad was waaaay off the mark – good one, Mathew.

Recently opening up about those infamous lyrics contained within Sorry, Diana Gordon – the track's main writer – scoffed at the notion it was targeting any one female in particular.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Diana – who is better known as Wynter – said: "I was like, ''In what day and age from that lyric do you get all of this information? Is it really telling you all that much, accusing people."

Reflecting on the uproar the song caused upon release earlier this year, she remembers being stunning, saying: "I laughed, like this is so silly. Where are we living?"

Acknowledging that the track has grown legs and gained so much more publicity than she anticipated, she added: "The idea started in my mind but it's not mine anymore. It was very funny and amusing to me to watch it spread over the world."

But before you think it was all a storm in a teacup, it sounds like the themes of the album really do reflect Beyoncé's real-life experience, with Wynter admitting: "With Beyoncé, I feel like the songs we worked on were specifically for her."

So, if we're with Wynter on this one, Becky was no one in particular, but technically there WAS a Becky.

Gotcha.

Street artist Maser made a big impression in Dublin when he created the Repeal The 8th mural on the Projects Arts Centre in Temple Bar.

It was swiftly taken down just days later, which understandably angered a lot of people.

However, fans of the art piece will be glad to know that it's not going away any time soon and was resurrected in the city this morning.

The two new murals can be seen in Blackhall Place, Dublin 7. 

The creation was first made for The Hunreal Issues, which is a website aimed at politically mobilising women in Ireland.

We hope to see more all over the country soon!

Model Amber Rose is as well known for her curvaceous figure and platinum buzz cut as she is for her outspoken personality, so when one of those physical features is removed she’s bound to look a whole lot different.

The 32-year-old star debuted a whole new look on her Instagram account last night when shared two photos of herself wearing a long brunette wig, pinned back into a 60’s style up-do.

The mother of one seemed to use coloured contact lenses and a set of false lashes to complete the transformation.

Comments on the posts were mixed as Amber’s followers struggled to recognise the TV host.  Some fans praised Amber for looking like Whitney Houston in the pics, while others commented “Omg no no no”.

If you missed out on tickets the last time U2 played in Dublin, then fear not, because they're coming back.

Bono revealed the news to a Spanish fan group, U2 en Espana, that they are in the middle of writing a new album and planning a new tour, all to take place in 2017.

"It's not finished yet but you will like it," the frontman said.

"In terms of lyrics it is stronger than WAR, it has more clarity. The tour is for 2017… you might see a few things in September or October though."

The band's last tour was the third best-earning tour in 2015, with the group making over €122m from ticket sales alone, so it's easy to see why they want to do it all over again.

Bella Hadid, the younger sister of superstar-model Gigi Hadid, is a model and equestrian who once had dreams of winning an Olympic medal. 

Bella is constantly being compared to her older sister and has received a lot of attention in the past with claims that she dyes her hair to differentiate herself from Gigi.

In a recent interview with Glamour Magazine, Bella, who is a natural blonde, shed light on the truth behind her dark brown locks. 

"Well, I didn’t really dye my hair to separate myself from Gigi," Bella insisted.

Bella explained her reasons for going dark when she was just 14, stating: "I started dyeing my hair when I was 14. I dyed it black and blue, I wore eyeliner – I was a punk kid."

'I might want to go blonde eventually,' Bella claimed.

While we're complete and utter suckers when it comes to romance here at SHEmazing! HQ, we also live in the real world – well, most of the time – and know that relationships are built on so much more than sweet nothings.

And yet when we consider the vows we exchanged – or plan to exchange – on our wedding day, we can't get past the fairytale sentiments and rom-com declarations.

But one woman, with a decade of married life behind her, has decided to re-write her vows in an effort to properly reflect what it means to be in a life-long partnership, and she may just be our new hero.

Bella Ellwood-Clayton, a sex and relationship writer from Melbourne, has ditched her previous flimsy promises for the renewal of her vows this December, and instead opted to share an insight into what it really takes to be part of a marriage.

In addition to promising her husband, she will "not compare our relationship to manufactured Hollywood film ideals", Bella added: "I will forgive you, endlessly. Partnerships of every kind are annoying. And long-term ones, even more so."

In a vow which will resonate with so many in relationships, she also promised: "I will not compete with you about who "works" harder. I accept that we both work hard, even though our roles and responsibilities will change over time."

And while so many of her vows do focus on the practical, Bella acknowledged the importance of encouragement and gratitude in every relationship, married or not.

"I will remember to make you feel attractive and desirable and compliment you" she promised before vowing: "I will forgive you of all the faults that you share with our children. And be forever grateful that someone in the world can put up with mine."

And we're crying.

I've always been a true believer that you have to love the skin you're in. No matter what your clothing size, weight or height, we're all different, and we're all beautiful in our own ways. FACT.

We all have flaws, every single one of us, so it's a wonder why some people are still shaming each other.

That's where these women come in; Samantha King and Kim Dempsey want to get rid of the hurdles surrounding other people's perception of curvy girls.

Samantha and Kim are both lifestyle, fashion and beauty bloggers and focus on all things stylish for the "curvier" woman. Samantha owns the blog Champagne and High Heels while Kim is the proud owner of SoSoDempo.

Together, they want to ensure that no matter what size, every woman is empowered. 

After finding out from their followers that some women don't feel comfortable attending beauty events, workshops or even beauticians because of their size, the two blogger beauties have created a workshop aimed solely at the curvier woman.

The workshop will feature make-up tutorials, hair tutorials, a fashion show, a shape-wear demo (hello, spanx!), afternoon tea and a Q&A session, so it's certainly not a day to be missed.

And on top of that, BoohooPLUS will be supporting the girls on the day, bringing you all the latest fashion for the catwalk show. Exciting!

Sam and Kim believe that it's their mission to encourage women to love themselves, and that's how their motto, "Loving the Skin You're In, Always, Sam & Kim," was born.

The gals first workshop will take place in Athlone Springs Hotel on September 10 and tickets cost €75, which are available here.

While no one ever knows what Kanye West’s next move will be, we have to admit his recent confession about wishing to collaborate with IKEA did come as a bit of a surprise. 

Speaking to BBC Radio 1 earlier this week, the Yeezy creator expressed his desire to design furniture for the Scandinavian retailer when he told Annie Mac: “I have to work with IKEA – make furniture for interior design, for architecture.”

The controversial rapper explained how he thinks students in particular would love for him to design “a minimalist apartment inside of a college dorm” – even though student housing already tends to be pretty minimalist.

“Yo Ikea, allow Kanye to create, allow him to make this thing because you know what, I want a bed that he makes, I want a chair that he makes,” he said.

But unfortunately for Kanye, IKEA doesn't seem to be interested in joining forces with him right now.

A spokesperson for the brand told CNBC: “At IKEA we are constantly curious about different people, companies, artists and events around the world. To have these connections and inspiring meetings is an important way for us to find new ways to create a better everyday life for the many people.”

“Although we are really flattered by Kanye West's high interest in IKEA and the speculation around a joint venture, we have no plans to collaborate at this point in time.”

So it looks like flatpacking Ye's genius will just have to wait.

After Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne announced their separation earlier this year, the rumour mill went into overdrive as the public wondered what had gone on between the high-profile couple.

Surprisingly enough for a celebrity couple split. they didn't have to wait too long as word quickly got out that the ageing rocker had been cheating on Sharon with celebrity colourist Michelle Pugh.

And while Ozzy and Sharon are said to be working on their marriage, that hasn't stopped Michelle from opening up about her affair with the Birmingham-native.

In an exclusive interview with People magazine, Michelle revealed she had been seeing Ozzy for four years, and considered him the love of her life.

"When I say he gave me the greatest love of my life, I mean it," she insisted. "He made me feel like the most beautiful and worshipped woman in the world."

Despite insisting that the rocker wasn't happy in his marriage, Ozzy has refuted the claims and has dismissed the notion that his relationship with Michelle was anything more than an outlet for his sex addiction.

Charming.

In a statement released to People, a rep for Ozzy said: "He is sorry if Ms. Pugh took their sexual relationship out of context."

"He would like to apologise to the other women he has been having sexual relationships with," they continued. "Since his relationship with Ms. Pugh was exposed, Ozzy has gone into intense therapy."

Remember when Ozzy's only interest was television remotes and dog poo?

We all know this little corner of Dublin. It's remained the same for years, but now it might be time for a makeover.

The Irish Times has reported that two big investment companies are in the midst of looking for planning approval to revamp the corner of Nassau Street and Dawson Street.

The two companies are apparently trying to make it into a new little Grafton Street as they are searching for large international traders to set up shop on the corner facing Trinity College.

Over the past few years, it's been no secret that large retailers have been trying to get hold of buildings in the Grafton Street area, with Victoria's Secret and & Other Stories due to make their way in by the end of the year.

The re-vamp would also include about 100,000 sq ft of office space.
