A garda investigation is underway this morning, following reports that a female cyclist was raped in Dublin, in the early hours of this morning.

According to RTE.ie, the woman was pushing her bike along the Lucan-Newlands Road, in Clondalkin, when the attack occurred.

It is believed that a group of people dragged the woman into a nearby area of parkland, at around 3am.

The woman was brought to hospital for treatment after the ordeal.

Indepdent.ie reports that the area where the attack occurred has now been sealed off, with members of the Garda Technical Bureau now examining the scene as part of an investigation.

The Garda Press Office told SHEmazing that no arrests have been made as of yet, and they are appealing for witnesses or anyone with information to get in touch.

If you have information that you believe could help with the investigation, you are asked to contact Ronanstown Garda Station on 01 666 7700. You can also get in touch with your own local station.

A marriage proposal could be on the cards for former Disney star, Hilary Duff, but not from anyone she actually knows. 

The proposal is coming from a scary individual who is driving all over her town searching for her… creepy right? 

Hilary Duff

Police reached out to Hilary this week to warn her about a man/ stalker who has been driving around Beverly Hills looking for her home.

Law enforcement have said that the ordeal started earlier this month when the man in question hired a limo driver to chauffeur him around the celebrity-filled neighbourhood.

According to TMZ, the man was carrying a picture of a house he said was Hilary's, but did not know her address (thank GOD).

He proceeded to have the limo driver search for two hours, during which he spoke about his plans to propose to Hilary.

When the car ride ended, the driver was pretty concerned about 28-year-old's safety, so he called the police. 

Hilary's security team are aware of the man and what he looks like, and have had issues with him before.

Sources close to the Lizzie McGuire actress say that she has added more manpower to her security and the guards in her gated community are also on alert for this crazy man.

Mistaking one product for another while fumbling around the bathroom bleary-eyed is part and parcel of our morning routine, and yet despite this we've (thankfully) never left the house sporting a bald patch after mistaking hair removal cream for Head and Shoulders.

But if a recent upload to Imgur is anything to go by, not every young woman has been as fortunate as the ladies here at SHEmazing! HQ.

After supposedly mistaking Nair for shampoo, one particular lady did what any self-respecting millennial would do and allowed her sibling to upload an image of her disaster to Imgur.

Sporting a hairstyle not unlike our grandfathers', she gave her best Blue Steel while acting as a walking advertisement for opening your eyes before applying any product to your body.

Unsurprisingly, Imgur users are calling major BS on the snap, with many insisting that the young woman would have realised her mistake before sporting a head you can see your reflection in.

"Staged. Nair BURNS!" wrote one. "You physically feel something burning on your scalp, and you have to wait 15 minutes for it to work."

While some users insisted they could see the edges of a bald cap, others expressed concern over the girl's lathering skills, writing: "I'm more concerned that she didn't shampoo the sides of her head."

"If she thought that was shampoo then she did a sh*tty job of washing her hair," added another.

Can't kid a kidder…

When it comes to dealing with your anxiety, it is important to tackle it head-on from the root cause; to know what your triggers are and to know how to deal them.

And while anxiety is not something you can pinpoint down – it can vary from person to person and from experience to experience – there are a number of common triggers.

1. Caffeine

Whether it’s from your afternoon coffee or your sports drink, caffeine can trigger anxiety in those sensitive to the ingredient. Even just one cup can leave a person dealing with heart palpitations and feelings of anxiety that can appear several hours later.

How to deal with it: Cut caffeine out of your diet completely.

2. Not eating properly

Not eating enough or leaving long gaps between meals can cause your blood sugar levels to fluctuate which can make you feel anxious, confused and unsettled. 

How to deal with it: Make sure you eat breakfast, lunch and dinner, and carry around a few snacks to keep your blood sugars level.

3. Your thyroid

Your thyroid gland regulates your metabolism but it can make you feel anxious if it produces too much thyroid. It can also cause palpitations, nervousness and restlessness.

How to deal with it: Consult with your GP if you are concerned your anxiety is caused by your thyroid gland.

4. Alcohol

Alcohol is a depressant and can make you feel worse, especially if you’ve had a bad day. It can also interfere with your sleep patterns leaving you tired and low, creating a vicious cycle that can be hard to break.

How to deal with it: Skip the alcohol in the evenings and cut back when you are out with family and friends. Not only will you feel better but you’ll look a lot healthier too.

While Made in Chelsea stars Stephanie Pratt and Louise Thompson mightn’t exactly be BFFs right now, we did not think their relationship had plummeted to the point of throwing shade on Twitter.

But since Stephanie has now openly accused her reality TV co-star of cheating on her ex-boyfriend Alik Alfus back when they were together, we think the girls’ friendship has most definitely hit rock bottom.

Yesterday Stephanie shared a link on Twitter to a Look magazine article which suggests Steph and Alik had been texting behind Louise’s back.

 

Alongside the link the former Hills star wrote: “Uh no she was shagging her trainer since March.” 

The accusation was quickly followed by another Tweet saying: “Blame anyone you can but take responsibility, right?…Yawn, snooze its boring now” (sic).

The 30-year-old American then retweeted a suggestion that Louise had been “getting some on the side” during the last season of the hit reality show, before adding: “Dont call someone good looking, Millie moved on too fast from her hubby BUT you can cheat on ur bf….Riiiiight” (sic).

 

 

 

The petite brunette ended her long-distance relationship with leather designer Alik back in May and – according to OK! – Louise recently confirmed she is in a relationship with her personal trainer Ryan Libbey. 

Earlier this summer speculation began that the pair were an item after Louise was spotted getting close to the muscular model while holidaying in the French Riviera.

This is the second time this week the MIC star has been publicly called out on her actions.  On Tuesday Charlotte Crosby hit out at Louise after she criticised the size of the Geordie’s lips in an interview with new! magazine

The vast majority of record labels and music execs adhere to a tried and tested formula when it comes to boy band members.

From the cheeky chappy to the uber-cute one, most members know their role, and for former One Direction member, Zayn Malik, he was most definitely the silent, brooding type.

But it sounds like his 1D persona had less to do with the time-honoured formula, and more to do with his own inner dialogue.

Speaking to Elle, the Bradford-native, who left the band in March 2015, admitted that he struggles desperately with low self esteem and anxiety.

"I don’t have it in me to feel secure in anything I do," he admitted. "I always strive towards something better."

Aware that he often comes across more reserved that one might expect of a former boy band member and up-and-coming solo star, Zayn explained: "It’s why I sometimes come across the wrong way – a bit distant."

The singer, who was forced to cancel his performance at Capital's Summertime Ball due to anxiety, added: "I’m stressed out trying to control how I’m perceived.”

With a nod to his former bandmate Harry's foray into the world of acting, Zayn told the publication that music once took a backseat when it came to his interest in the theatre.

"I started acting when I was in school with theatre studies and then music came afterwards," he explained. "The acting completely stopped because I joined the band, but I'd definitely be interested if I was given the right part."

Ooh, watch this space!

The movie industry were left reeling eight years ago when news broke that much-loved and well-respected actor, Heath Ledger, had died from an accidental overdose.

Having graduated from roles in Aussie soaps and teen movies, Heath's star was, undoubtedly, at the time of his death in January 2008 on the rise.

From his highly-acclaimed performance in Brokeback Mountain to his depiction of the Joker in The Dark Knight. the 28-year-old actor was well on his way to establishing himself as one of the greatest actors in the industry.

And yet despite the numerous accolades and acclaim, much of the star's private life was spent battling many of his own demons which included insomnia and addiction.

Opening up about the untimely death of his son during a recent interview with the Daily Mail Australia, Kim Ledger insisted no one was to blame for his son's passing, but Heath himself.

"It was totally his fault. It was no one else's – he reached for them," Kim said. "He put them in his system.You can't blame anyone else in that situation."

Aware that his son was over-medicating, Kim recalls Heath's sister Katie offering her brother advice on the night before he died, with Kim recalling: "His sister was on the phone to him the night before telling him not to take the prescription medications with the sleeping tablets."

Haunted by his son's assurances that he knew what he was doing, Kim said of Heath: "He would have had no idea."

Heath shared a daughter with actress Michelle Williams.

It’s official – Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have the CUTEST kids on earth.

While the couple’s three-year-old daughter North has been rocking her celebrity status for a while now, until recently little had been seen of her younger brother Saint.

But it seems his parents have decided the seven-month-old is ready to make his Snapchat debut as Kim has used the popular app to share an adorable clip of Saint giggling in his pram.

The snap appeared just one day after Saint was seen attending his great-grandmother’s 82nd birthday party in San Diego which gives the impression he's already a busy little guy.

 

 

Saint seems to have inherited his family’s love for the camera so we’re hopeful we’ll be seeing plenty more of him in the near future.

Kristen Stewart is well known for being super private about her love life, so the fact that she has now opened up about her relationship with Alicia Cargile would suggest that Alicia could be a keeper.

In a new interview with Elle magazine, the Café Society star confessed she is "really in love" with her girlfriend and explained how her relationship with the visual effects producer is so different from her time dating Robert Pattison. 

She said: "When I was dating a guy I was hiding everything that I did because everything personal felt like it was immediately trivialised, so I didn't like it.”

"We were turned into these characters and placed into this ridiculous comic book, and I was like, 'That's mine. You're making my relationship something that it's not.' I didn't like that."

"But then it changed when I started dating a girl. I was like, 'Actually, to hide this provides the implication that I'm not down with it or I'm ashamed of it, so I had to alter how I approached being in public. It opened my life up and I'm so much happier.'"

The 26-year-old actress also admitted that while she and Alicia have had their fair share of problems, their relationship is currently going strong.

She said: "We've broken up a couple of times and gotten back together, and this time I was like, 'Finally, I can feel again.'"

"I think also right now I'm just really in love with my girlfriend."  Awh!

While this is the first time the actress has verbally confirmed her relationship with Alicia, they seem to have been linked for quite some time.  As well as being spotted in public together on numerous occasions, last summer Kristen’s mum referenced the relationship in an interview with Nylon magazine.

Kristen has previously said she would not feel comfortable making a big "coming out" announcement about her sexuality, so we're delighted to see the actress has found a way to open up about love that she is happy with.

After spending years on the cobbles playing Coronations Street’s Rosie Webster, it looks like Helen Flanagan is now enjoying her favourite role yet; mum to her daughter Matilda.

The 25-year-old has been speaking about how her life has changed since becoming a mum to her one-year-old.

Appearing on Loose Women on Wednesday, Helen was asked about her family life and how it’s impacted her life.

“I was lost before I was a mum.

“My life has changed massively. But completely for the better. I’m in my element being a mum.”

Helen faced her fair-share of backlash over the years especially during her time on I’m A Celebrity but it seems motherhood has helped her overcome the scrutiny and focus on what is important.

She has made me so much happier. It changes your priorities and you realise what's important but I am completely besotted with her.

“It is really full on but you don't realise how much until you actually become a mother yourself.”

And like most celebrity mums, the public have also been quick to judge Helen for her parenting choices including her decision to co-sleep with her daughter.

“We did do that but we have a different routine now. We've got our bed back

“It wasn't something that we planned to do but when she was four or five months old, I was breastfeeding her and she ended up in bed with us.

“I would never want to promote sleeping with a newborn as it's dangerous. I felt guilty when I read about it. It's only when they are old enough or strong enough.”

Matilda is Helen’s first child with boyfriend, Aston Villa player, Scott Sinclair but it sounds like she won’t be the last.

“We had talked about trying for a baby last Christmas – and then we said when she's two and now we're saying when she's three, so we’ll see.”
