It’s no secret that some of our favourite celebrities are prone to a little photoshopping every now and again.

When you’re used to being airbrushed within an inch of your life in photographers’ studios, it’s hardly surprising you may opt to re-touch your more candid shots when you can, right?

From Queen Bey to Khloé Kardashian, they’ve all, at times, chosen to tweak and trim, and they’ve all been subject to public backlash as a result.

And it looks like the latest star to do a little adjusting of her own is Lauren Goodger, and the former TOWIE star definitely hasn’t escaped the backlash.

 

Here's the original pic of me in my @lasulaboutique dress loving a summers day #noedit #chillout #allgirlswantslimmerlegs

A photo posted by Lauren Goodger (@laurenrosegoodger) on

After being snapped by a pap on a stroll, Mark Wright’s ex decided to share the same image on her Instagram page, but not before putting some handy tools to work (which she has now changed).

After spotting that Lauren had clearly trimmed down her thighs and ankles, Instagram followers wasted no time drawing comparisons between the original shot and the one Lauren shared.

“She looks lovely but you can see she’s photoshopped her legs to look skinnier by the fuzziness around them and how they’re bumpy,” wrote one. “She looks amazing so she shouldn’t have to do that.”

With social media users questioning the star’s decision to digitally alter her figure, Lauren’s fans defended her and insisted it’s no one's business whether she opts to ‘shop or not.

“Ever one needs to calm down its not worth arguing about Lauren is gorgouse but people are entitled to there opinion. “ argued one. “It is wats happens if u on social media gas no one got that yet.” (sic)
 

“So what if it's photoshopped? Who doesn't photoshop their pics these days!” added another.

Despite the backlash, the two photos have amassed nearly 10,000 likes between them, so we doubt Lauren is too bothered.

Kylie Jenner is used to either being chauffeured around OR driving her shiny red Rolls Royce. The perks of being a reality star, right?

Well, yesterday the 18-year-old had an unfortunate incident which meant she had to get an Uber ride home along with her boyfriend, Tyga.

After getting a flat tire on her car, Kylie and Tyga had to take the mode of transport that normal people get; and she didn't look too happy about it.

The KUWTK star first shared a snap of the botched wheel and captioned it, "I popped my tire."

She then continued to document her journey in the Uber cab and wrote, "we're ubering home. My fault."

Next, along with a filter making it look like she's pulling a sad face, she simply wrote, "sorry."

Who is she saying sorry to, though? To Tyga, for making him get a run-of-the-mill taxi? Or to her fans, for making them realise she can be just like us? SMH.

If you have a partner and are fond of the odd selfie or outfit shot, then you'll know all about dragging your other half around to snap the perfect picture.

They probably hate it, but they love you, so they do it.

However, in a photo recently uploaded onto Beyoncé's website, it appears that Jay is the one dragging Bey around.

In the snap, Beyoncé is standing in a lift, wearing a pretty turquoise dress, but nobody is focusing on her – they're all zooming in on her hubby.

The rapper looks like he's actually taking a selfie of himself and Bey is just getting in the way.

And of course, Twitter just couldn't handle it:

Hilarious.

Over the last few years there has been an increasing shift towards more alternative style weddings, and for one CrossFit obsessed couple in the US that trend resulted in a big day with a difference.

Brooklyn-based newlyweds Oliver Drewes and Christina Moore exchanged vows over the weekend in a Californian tennis stadium as they attended the 2016 CrossFit Games.

The couple – who met on a blind date in a New York gym – had considered eloping for the occasion but instead opted for a fitness themed big day when they won an all expenses paid wedding in a Reebok-run social media competition.

The 30-year-old bride told People: "We had such an amazing time at the 2015 Reebok CrossFit Games that we knew a wedding at the 2016 Games would be nothing short of epic."

"We wanted to elope anyway, so why not in Carson in a stadium full of people who share our values?"

The bride – who wore a white sports bra, tennis skirt, runners and small veil-like headpiece – told InStyle: "I didn't even notice a crowd. My dad talked to me the whole time we were walking [down the aisle], then I just focused on Oliver."

"The crowd was supportive and we were lucky to have friends and family on the stadium floor with us, so we felt loved."

The newlywed admitted she would not have felt comfortable wearing a traditional wedding dress on her big day and so wearing workout gear "only made sense".

According to the Mail Online, the happy couple managed to work CrossFit references into their vows and just in case the occasion conflicted with someone’s cheat day (hate that) the wedding cake was completely paleo.

In fitness and in health…

I guess we'll have to wait and see. Is baby number six on the way?!

An unimaginable tragedy: an eight-year-old girl enjoying a day out in a popular zoo died after a rock was hurled at her by an elephant. 

According to eye-witnesses, the youngster was on her dad's shoulders getting a photograph taken by her mother when the tragedy took place. 

She was struck on the head and later died in hospital.

The establishment, Rabat Zoo on the east coast of Morocco, said afterwards in a statement that it was greatly saddened by the incident.

However,  it added that "accidents of this type are rare, unforeseeable and unusual".

It furthermore highlighted that other accidents have taken place recently in other international zoos – citing Disney World Orlando, where a child was taken a killed by an alligator, and Cincinnati Zoo, where a boy fell into a gorilla enclosure but survived – as examples. 

An investigation into the incident has now been launched, says moroccoworldnews.com.

Videos posted to YouTube depict the little girl receiving medical care from passersby.

Some social media noted that the ambulance was delayed arriving to treat the the youngster.On TripAdvisor, the zoo – which opened in 2012 – has largely positive feedback.

Indeed, one visitor wrote that it is a "world-class zoo and family-friendly". They added: "You can easily navigate a baby stroller throughout the zoo."

We hold our hands up – unless we're gym-bound or bed-bound, the vast majority of us here at SHEmazing! HQ would balk at the idea of going totally bare-faced.

And while we all shared a nomakeup selfie in aid of breast cancer research back in 2014, we generally don't tend to make a habit of it.

There are, however, some very brave women walking amongst who are more than happy to snap themselves looking bare-faced and beautiful at every available opportunity.

Not a jot of concealer, not a hint of lippie, not a trace of mascara… oh, wait.

Ladies? It looks like you have some explaining to do…

1. Oh, to have the genes that provide you with lashes that thick and lips that shade.

A gal can dream…

2. If you're going to wear lipstick, you don't get to rock a nomakeupselfie tag.

Next!

3. Are we totally and utterly sure those lashes are free of mascara?

We are not.

4. You have to ditch ALL the lipstick before you can hashtag nomakeup, right?

Back of the line!

5. We wish our lower lashes and waterline were naturally that dark.

Some girls have all the luck…

6. Wait, eye makeup counts as makeup, right?

It does, it definitely does!

First Harry signed a solo recording deal, and then Liam sent fans into a frenzy when he revealed he was going out on his own as well.

But now, it's Niall Horan's turn.

Simon Cowell has revealed that Niall is set to announce his solo recording deal very soon, and he's teaming up with the major music mogule for it.

"Niall is the most loyal. We are expecting to announce something soon with him," the X Factor judge told People.

“I think they’re all going to do great. I worked with these guys for six years, so I always hoped they would all stay within what I call the Sony family, but I think only one won’t,” Simon added.

He's obviously referring to Liam here, who just signed with Capitol Records last week, and then went on to delete all trace of One Direction from his Twitter account.

It was a rousing speech by any – even his own – standards: Barack Obama implored the USA to make sure that Hillary Clinton becomes the nation's first female president when voters go to the polls in November. 

And, as the current US president is delightfully want to do, Barack veered away from the prepared script somewhat while addressing the Democratic party national conference yesterday.

"Nothing truly prepares you for the demands of the Oval Office," he said. "But Hillary’s been in the room; she’s been part of those decisions. She knows what’s at stake.

"No matter how daunting the odds; no matter how much people try to knock her down, she never, ever quits," he added.

Sitting proudly in the audience of thousands was, of course, Bill Clinton, Hillary's husband of 40-odd years and a former POTUS himself. 

"That’s the Hillary I know. That’s the Hillary I’ve come to admire,"  Barack continued to applause.

"And that’s why I can say with confidence there has never been a man or a woman – not me, not Bill, nobody – more qualified than Hillary Clinton to serve as president of the United States of America.

Significantly, when Mr Obama offered up the "not me, not Bill" line – which wasn't actually in his speech – Mr Clinton's face broke into a sheepish grin.

And when the cheers had died down, Obama added: "I hope you don't mind, Bill, I was just telling the truth!"

If we didn't love her enough already, Mila Kunis has given us yet another reason to think she's one of the soundest stars in the business.

After recently revealing that she and Ashton started off as friends with benefits, Mila then gave viewers of  The Late Late Show a pretty detailed description of the actor's manhood, and now she's spilling deets on the cost of her wedding ring.

While appearing on Conan this week, the Black Swan star acknowledged she has a bit of a reputation for thriftiness, and it turns out this extends to the most important piece of jewellery in her collection.

After telling the audience that Ashton had bought her a stunning engagement ring, the 32-year-old actress admitted she wasn't content with the idea of splashing thousands on a wedding ring, and opted instead to pick one up for €90 on Etsy instead.

Proving he's the flasher one in the relationship, Ashton splashed out an extra $10 and is now sporting a ring from a website we normally get our cutest birthday cards from.

Never change guys, never change.

If you think your house is chaotic just stop and think for moment what it must be like to be part of a family of 21 – because for Britain's biggest family that situation is now a reality.

Noel and Sue Radford from Lancashire welcomed their nineteenth child to the world over the weekend as 41-year-old Sue gave birth to a little girl named Phoebe Willow.

The Radfords found fame on Channel 4's 16 Kids and Counting back in 2013 and have since gone on to expand their impressive brood with three new additions.  But even since Phoebe's arrival, Sue has confessed they could be tempted to have one more.

The busy mum told The Sun: “Our friends and family keep saying I should have one more child to get an even number, rounding the family off at 20.”

“I can’t rule it out. At the moment I am happy to have Phoebe with us. She is healthy and a little stunner.”  

And while you might think the couple’s time would be totally tied up with managing their expansive brood, Noel and Sue also run a successful family-owned bakery and pie business.

According to the Daily Mail, the couple pride themselves of not receiving any benefits from the state and going on annual trips abroad with the whole family.

As well as baby Phoebe, Noel and Sue are also parents to Chris, 27; Sophie, 22; Chloe, 21; Jack, 19; Daniel, 17; Luke, 15; Millie, 14; Katie, 13; James, 12; Ellie, 11; Aimee, 10; Josh, nine; Max, seven; Tillie, six; Oscar, four; Casper, three; and Hallie, aged 13 months.

Congrats!

If you were one of the thousands left devastated by the cancellation of Garth Brooks' Croke Park gigs in 2014 or missed out on Adele's 3Arena concerts back in March, it sounds like you're about to get a second chance to see these musical legends do their thing in Ireland.

Well, according to Lord Mayor of Cork Cllr Des Cahill, that is.

Speaking on Cork's Red FM this morning, the Lord Mayor hinted that the People's Republic might be welcoming both Adele and Garth in the not-too-distant future.

"The speculation that we could be welcoming Garth Brooks and Adele to Leeside next summer is outstanding news for Cork," he said while speaking to prominent radio DJ, Neil Prendeville.

"Although the concerts have yet to be officially confirmed the speculation that two blockbuster gigs are in the pipeline for the new Cork stadium in the summer of 2017 is a huge boost," he added.

Adding even more fuel to the fire, Lord Mayor Cahill took to Twitter this morning to express his excitement over the possibility that the city might soon be hosting two of the biggest names in the music industry.

We know it's not confirmed, we know it's not a sure thing, but that hasn't stopped us planning our route to Cork…
