Yearly Archives: 2016

It seems that for those of us in a relationship, the last year of every decade in our lives is a major danger-zone when it comes to cheating.

So if you’re 19, or 29 – or more importantly if your partner is – you may want to take heed.

That and the most dangerous age of all for straying is… 39.

The results come from a study of 1,000 people by the somewhat controversial IllicitEncounters.com, a dating website for married people which says it has more than 70,000 Irish members.

It has now revealed it has 18 percent more Irish profiles in years ending in nine than for other years in the decade – suggesting the looming presence of another decade causes concern for some.

IllicitEncounters.com said in a statement today: "Beware of the figure nine – it is the danger age as far affairs are concerned.

"This is applicable to men and women. Both go looking for affairs when they are on the verge of entering a new decade.

"IllicitEncounters.com research shows that some people cheat to get their partner’s attention. If their partner’s a workaholic or unavailable to them, being caught with someone else is a way of saying: ‘Hey, if you love me, pay attention to me!'

"‘Payback cheating’ is also common. If you’ve cheated in the past or done something else to hurt your partner, they might retaliate to get even."

The website added that it sees its subscriptions rise by 25 percent over the summer months.

She has a pretty amazing life – a gorgeous, multi-million home in California, a mega career, and a loving family (not to a mention a load of seriously cute dogs

And while Kylie Jenner is still something of an international style icon, we have to say that the last week has been a bit, well, weak for her.

kylie jenner kuwtk huh wut keeping up with the kardashians

1. Sleeves-r-us 

At first glance, this outfit was cute and simple, but then we started to take a closer look.

What is going on with the sleeves? Two separate pieces of fabric buttoned together on one side… not necessary.

2. Hoodie horror

We are all about dressing down and keeping things casual now and then, but this outfit just made no sense.

Thigh high heels with denim shorts and a hoodie? THE HUMANITY!

3. Bizzare baroque

Don't get us wrong, we love a body-suit, especially if you have Kylie's figure to absolutely WORK it, but this just isn't doing it for us. 

Kylie hit the town to celebrate an early birthday on Sunday wearing a sheer jacquard knit jumpsuit, and paired with the belt, it was all a little over the top!

4. Not so green with envy

OK so this outfit could have been lovely, if it were in a different colour. 

The hideous puke-like shade of green is not working for you Ky!

 5. What even? 

Firstly, the pants are too big for her tiny frame, making them look unflattering. 

ALSO, they're literally pyjamas, and not in that sexy lingerie way. 

Luckily, her make-up and hair are ACE, which makes up for the bizarre outfit choice.

King Kylie, we love you hun, but this was NOT your week!

Ever since starring opposite each other in The Wolf of Wall Street in 2013, Leo DiCaprio and Jonah Hill have been fast friends.

And it's always seemed like their friendship stretched far beyond press junkets and red carpet events; these two lads looked like they'd kick it with beer and pizza while watching re-runs of Leo's awkward moment with Lady Gaga at the Golden Globes.

And yet despite knowing – OK fine, assuming – that this was the case, it's always refreshing to see it in action, right?

Thankfully for everyone as enchanted by Leo and Jonah as we are, paps in New York caught the two lads in one of the cutest candid moments we've seen in years.

Spotting his mate waiting on a pal in the West Village this week, Leo took the opportunity to scare the bejaysus out of him by pretending to be a crazed fan only mad for a selfie with lil Jonah.

From Leo's surprisingly goofy run to the lingering hug they share, this has had us falling all over each other at SHEmazing! HQ this morning.

Never change, guys.

It is always a proud moment for parents when your baby learns a new word, however for Ashton Kutcher, yesterday was NOT one of those days. 

Ashton took to Instagram yesterday to share an intimate family moment with his 1.8 million followers. 

In the picture, we see Ashton looking kind of nervous while trying to contain his laughter, biting down on his thumb. 

Apparently, his precious baby girl, Wyatt Isabelle, said the word f**k and he can't help but laugh, even though he shouldn't.  

"When you 22 month old drops an f bomb and it is (not funny) except it's really funny and you can't laugh.#baddads #badmoms"

He claims that he's desperately trying not to laugh, but he can't help it, and in fairness we would laugh too. 

Ashton's wife, Mila Kunis, has been in the press recently, promoting her current film Bad Moms, which seems very fitting considering the happenings of yesterday's Instagram. 

Ashton and Mila, who began dating in March 2012, married in July 2015 in a low key ceremony, with low key wedding rings!  

The couple welcomed baby Wyatt into the world in October 2014, and are currently expecting their second child.

It’s been little more than a week since Lindsay Lohan made a cryptic pregnancy announcement on Twitter and although many people had their doubts over the legitimacy of the claim, Lindsay’s father Michael did not.

Last week the father of seven told Us magazine that the former child star would not lie to him about being pregnant with her Russian fiancé’s child, but it seems LiLo’s mother Dina has adopted a more sceptical stance on the situation as it has been reported that she does not believe Lindsay is expecting.

According to TMZ, Lindsay’s mam says the star’s pregnancy claim was nothing more than an attempt at getting revenge on Egor after it was alleged he cheated on and tried to strangle the actress in a week of intensive drama.

Dina believes Lindsay was distraught when she said she was expecting and that she just “overreacted”. 

Apparently Lindsay and Egor are still engaged and that despite currently spending time apart they do intend on reuniting in the future.

The Freaky Friday actress has yet to comment on her parents’ claims and appears to still be travelling with friends while she recovers from last week’s ordeal.

As if rocking a role in Netflix’s hit prison series Orange Is The New Black isn’t badass enough, Aussie actress Ruby Rose now wants get in on some James Bond action.

Yesterday the 30-year-old model jokingly shared her ambition online when she posted a tattooed bikini pic on Instagram.

In the very Halle Berry-esque snap Ruby can be seen emerging from crystal clear waters in a blue and white printed bikini with her hair perfectly slicked back.

Alongside the pic the actress wrote: “I’d like to be the next Bond girl please, I’ve been practicing all week haha.”

The comment may have been meant in tongue-in-cheek fashion, but that hasn’t stopped Ruby’s followers from jumping on the Bond bandwagon with comments like “Never mind Bond girl, you’d make a great Bond” and “That would be an amazing movie” being echoed throughout the thread.

 

 

 We’re with the fans on this one: Ruby for Bond all the way.

Back in April fans of Hollywood power couple Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling celebrated as the pair welcomed their second baby girl into the world.  But while the occasion was obviously a happy one, it was also touched with sadness as baby Amada was born the same week Eva buried her brother.

In a new interview with Latina magazine, the Training Day actress has described what it was like to lose her older brother Juan Carlos Mendez to throat cancer so shortly before the arrival of her daughter and explained how the experience brought her family closer together.

Eva told the mag: “Losing my brother brought our family closer, and we were already close to begin with…So to just see everybody be there for one another and show up, I feel so lucky to have them.  And then they were there for me when Amada was born.”

“We had a funeral service for him and that same week I had the baby.  So it was really, really intense and obviously beyond heartbreaking, but also kind of beautiful.”

During the interview, the actress also discussed how her brother’s passing influenced the choice of name she and Nice Guys star Ryan gave their newborn.

She said: “In true Latin fashion, we reuse names all the time.”

“My grandmother's name is Amada, and Esmeralda Amada is the name of our oldest.  We had a few names picked out for our new baby, and when she was born, we didn't feel like those names were her.”

“So we went with Amada because it was something we kept going back to.  And it was an emotional time with the passing of my brother.”

“We thought how beautiful to go with what made us emotional and with what felt like her.  When we looked at her, we thought, ‘Aww, Amadita.’”

 

 

Viva @Latina Magazine! So excited about this! Gracias y Besotes!  Latina.com/EvaMendes #EvaOnLatina

We think it's heartwarming to hear how even through her grief Eva was able to find a positive way to remember her late brother in the baby naming process.

With the American presidential election in full swing for what seems like nearly five years, the folks behind Game of Thrones have decided to use some of that political spirit to get some answers.

As we wait to see the final two seasons of the hit HBO show, fans can now vote as to who they would like to see sitting in the Iron Throne at the end of the shows run.

Launching their very own “GoT Party”, HBO is asking you whose side you’re on in this very important election.

“Cast your vote to pick your side in the great wars to come.”

Should we say 'spoiler alert' for this next part? Ok, just to be on the safe side… SPOILER ALERT! Now you've been warned.

Up for election is Mother of Dragons herself, Daenerys Targaryen and her choice of VP is pretty obvious after last season and that’s Tyrion Lannister.

After what was a tough season, Cersei Lannister is back with a vengeance and ready to defend her place on the Iron Throne with the support of running mate Qyburn.

Like a bad smell, Peter Baelish has risen from the ashes and is ready to fight alongside his second-in-command, Sansa Stark.

And Curly-Sue himself, Jon Snow has a new lease of life (literally) as he sets out on his quest for power with the help of Lyanna Mormont.

With 19 million votes already cast, why not make your voice heard or at least go for a nose like we did to see who is in the top spot.

Last week was a historic occasion in American politics as the Democratic National Convention saw the first nomination of a female candidate for president.

However, it looks like Malia Obama wanted a little break from the world of politics as she took some time to be a regular teenager at a music festival.

Barack Obama’s eldest daughter was seen dancing with friends at the Chicago music festival, Lollapalooza over the weekend.

Festival goers were quick to spot the president’s daughter and her secret service detail as they posted snaps of the 18-year-old on social media.

This is comes just days after Malia’s mother, Michelle took to the DNC stage to deliver, what has since been called, one of the most powerful speeches at the event.

This year, Malia graduated from high school and is now taking a year out before heading to college.

And what a way to kick-it-off than making memories at a festival with your best friends.

It's no secret that half the country was regularly revitalised with litres of 7UP in the Eighties and Nineties.

Still, a far newer lemon-and-lime beverage has been muscling in on our thirsty ways since it launched in 2001.

Step forward Sprite – always somewhat of a controversial alternative to its longer-established rival, but nonetheless a formidable option for those in the market for a citrus-based fizzy drink.

Sadly for Sprite, however, the brand endured a bit of a battering on social-media today – with its #BrutallyRefreshing campaign drawing in plenty of hard-hitting criticism. 

Brandishing deeply uncomfortable taglines such as "she's seen more ceilings than Michelangelo"; "you're not popular, you're easy", and "a 2 at 10 is a 10 at 2," it appeared on a male-focused lifestyle website before hastily being removed as the backlash took off. 

Conversation on the matter remained in full flow online this evening – with outraged Twitter users being quick to express their disdain for the advert. 

Among them was popular 2fm host Louise McSharry. Sharing a screen-shot of the offending campaign, she asked her 15K followers: "SERIOUSLY with this takeover in 2016?" The message later received close-to 100 retweets and the same number of likes.

A response to Louise from the editor of the site admitted that the ad didn't reflect its "brand values". "It shouldn't have been there and it has since been removed," he added.

Still, further comments online called the ads "appalling and disgusting," while one person stated: "Sprite's sexist 'banter' marketing campaign tastes old and flat. On the boycott list!"

Others were more playful, however; one user's lighthearted commentary read: "Kinda impressed by how awful Sprite's #BrutallyRefreshing campaign is.

"It looks like someone in advertising was trying to get fired."

Meanwhile, plenty of others simply stated their sudden craving for a cool, refreshing – and non-insulting – bottle of 7UP.

Britney Spears has seen her fair share of bad relationships and even after two failed marriages, still believes in true love.

“Unfortunately, I am a hopeless romantic.

“I have been through horrible relationships, but unfortunately I still believe in love.

Speaking to Australian radio station Hit 104.1, the popstar spoke about her hopes to find love after 2 failed marriages.

"I think you should protect your heart and stuff like that, but I am a hopeless romantic.

“I believe in love.”

Britney famously had her marriage with Jason Alexander annulled in 2004 after just 55 hours which came shortly before her marriage and divorce from Kevin Federline.

But while she still holds out hope for finding love, she’s not focused on it right now.

The Only Way Is Essex star, Billie Faiers has quit the reality show to focus on time with her two-year-old daughter.

The 26-year-old is one of the last remaining original cast members and has been on the show for six years but it seems after welcoming daughter Nelly in 2014, Billie has had enough.

It looks like now Billie’s attention will turn to Nelly and her wedding plans to Nelly’s dad Greg Shepherd.

She reportedly told producers on Friday that she wanted to leave the show which was a huge shock for the team.

TOWIE bosses were shocked by her exit on Friday and the news quickly spread around the cast. Everyone is already mourning,” a show insider told The Sun.

“It’s no secret that Billie has a lot on her plate with her young daughter and marriage plans and to top it off she also wants to expand her family at some point.”

Billie has been open about her plans to have more kids before tying the knot but unfortunately we won’t get to see as much of her next little one.

Nelly has become a much-loved member of the TOWIE cast thanks to the show airing her birthday parties and other family events.
