When it comes to Instagram, Perrie Edwards has it absolutely nailed.

From sneak peeks into the life of a jet-setting popstar to cute family snaps and make-up mishaps, Perrie balances her page perfectly.

But now it looks like she's hoping to take it up a gear when it comes to the bikini snaps if her most recent uploads are anything to go by.

Unfortunately for Perrie, a number of fans have taken it upon themselves to question the singer's motives for this change of direction.

Suggesting that the British star is attempting to compete with her former fiancé's current girlfriend, one Instagram user wrote: "She has nvr done this when she was still with Zayn. I guess she's trying to compete with Gigi." (sic)

"Why always bikini? You never do this when you with Zayn. Why? Trying like Gigi?" added another.

Responding to the suggestion, another fan of the star wrote: "Compete with Gigi? Are you serious? It's very unlikely that's she's trying to "compete" with Gigi."

"Maybe Zany said she couldn't post any "revealing" pictures of herself. Or she could finally be comfortable in her own skin. Don't always assume because you never know," they added.

"She's just feeling confident in her body and has embraced it fully? Her life does not revolve around Zayn, she had a life before him and has a life after him," argued a fan.

"It's sad that all of you put two women against each other for the sole reason that they dated the same man. That's undermining their success," she added.

Preach girl, preach!

From Joan Rivers and Dawn French to Amy Schumer and Sarah Silverman, women have been knocking it out of the park on the comedy scene for years.

And while there still exists a less than subtle suggestion that men have the market cornered when it comes to the laughs, the Funny Woman Awards have done so much to turn that notion on its head.

You only have to look at the popularity of Grease and Dirty Dancing to know many of us women are absolute suckers for a man who can move.

Whether it’s ballroom, disco or Irish, any lad who knows his way around a dance floor is a winner in our eyes, so it’s no surprise we were fan-girling all over ourselves when we came across this footage of a recent wedding.

Uploaded to Facebook by Maureen Quinn, this groom and his mates gave Michael Flatley a serious run for his money, and we are uber impressed.

And having clocked up a staggering 35,865 views since its upload this week, it looks like we’re not the only ones.

It may be some time since you last rocked your pair of Uggs, but for many years, they were the go-to boot for the vast majority of us.

Slouching round? Opt for your Uggs. Rocking a denim mini? Uggs, obvs! Sunday stroll in your skinnies? Pass the Uggs.

And while we've now graduated from the Aussie export, we've still a special place in our hearts for the boots made famous by Paris Hilton, Pamela Anderson and a whole host of other blonde, doe-eyes socialites.

So when news broke that the Ugg Classic was being removed from shelves, we held a brief moment of silence before realising it was simply going on to bigger and better things.

According to Cosmopolitan, the good people behind the Ugg boot have decided that their classic style needs a major update, and are intending to launch a more weather-durable version known as  – wait for it  – the Ugg Classic II.

Commenting on the move, Dave Powers, President and CEO of Deckers Brands, said: "This is without a doubt the biggest launch UGG has ever undertaken in its 38 year history."

"Updating a product as iconic as the Classic was a big decision," he continued. " However, after listening to what our consumers want we knew it was time."

With manufacturers adding a variety of features which will make Ugg-wearing comfy no matter what the weather, you can expect the new version to set you back a little more than the original, but hey it's worth it, right?!

OK, we all know that tattoos relating to your other half can be the kiss of death in some relationships, but we have a good feeling about the one Scarlett Moffatt's boyfriend had inked in her honour this week.

In a tribute to this girlfriend's favourite show  – 90s sitcom Bottom – Luke Crodden added a small tat to his already large collection of body inkings, and Scarlett is over the moon.

Sharing a snap of the tattoo on Instagram, everybody's favourite Gogglebox cast member began by writing: "His full of surprises…" (sic)
 

"Might not be conventionally romantic, but we both knew we love each other when we were sat giggling at conspiracy theories watching Bottom, hence the S in Bottom font," she continued.

"I'd never felt so content at the precise moment in all my life. Love you," she gushed in a post which has clocked up thousands of likes since its upload.

Fans of the TV sensation were quick to share in her delight, with one writing: "This is super cute as I'm nearly finished your book and all you talk about is finding someone who you can just be you around."

Scarlett, who has had to deal with her fair share of online trolling, was met with nothing but positivity when she shared Luke's tribute to her this week.

And now, we 're coming over all teary-eyed.

Over the course of just four days, Kim Kardashian has gone from reality television superstar to the woman single-handedly responsible for the possible collapse of the Taylor Swift empire.

And with Taylor refusing to comment publicly – aside from a brief response on Instagram – one could be forgiven for thinking that the Grammy Award-winning star had managed to turn the other cheek, and is simply waiting for the dust to settle.

But it sounds like the mood in the Taylor camp is far from chill right now, with the Blank Space singer admitting she's terrified Kimye have more up their sleeve.

"At this point Taylor does not know what to expect, she feels like they are capable of anything," an insider told HollywoodLife.

"She wouldn’t even be shocked if they pulled some sort of shady editing to make it look like she agreed to stuff that she didn’t," the source continued. "Taylor feels like she’s at war with monsters, it’s very scary."

According to the source, Taylor is feeling particularly conflicted right now and is deliberating between making her voice heard and wanting the whole situation to go away.

"She wants to stand up for herself but she’s also afraid of dragging it on, in some ways suing them is just going to be giving them what they want."

"But she is very clear that she had no idea that the call was being recorded, which means she can go after them in court,” the insider explained.

“Right now Taylor‘s taking the time to decide if she wants to keep the negativity going and sue them or just try to put this behind her. She does really want to clear her name though, so the word is she’s leaning towards suing."

We can only imagine Kimye's response to that.

When it comes to our current weather, many of us don't want to say anything negative in case we scare it away, but there are definite downsides to the increased temperatures we've been experiencing this week.

From round-the-clock upkeep on hairy shins to our barnet's reaction to the humidity, this heatwave isn't all it's cracked up to be, but it looks like the good folk behind Thanko – a Japanese gadget manufacturer – are only dying to lend a helping hand.

According to the Irish Examiner, our friends in Japan have come up with a way to combat sweaty armpits, and all you need is a small, clip-on fan and a desire to looks like a right eejit in public.

Armpit Coolers, which provide wearers with three levels of breezy intensity, can be attached to your clothes with a small clip and are powered by two AAA batteries.

If you fancy ditching your deodorant and cotton tops during this weather, then you can splash out on an Armpit Cooler for – wait for it – €27.

We don't know about you, but something tells us it might not be a go'er in Ireland…

Getting to know your siblings' other halves can be awkward at the best of times, but when you're part of the Kardashian / Jenner family – and the complicated love lives it brings with it – we imagine it might be just that little bit harder.

Opening up about the issue during a recent blog post, Kendall got super candid and admitted she hadn't always been keen on her siblings' new partners, but did her best to keep an open mind.

"I generally greet the new person with an open mind," she wrote in a piece entitled: "LOVE, KENDALL: Meeting My Siblings’ Significant Others Over the Years.’

"But, I do have a strong intuition when I meet people and there have definitely been times that I’ve gotten a bad vibe," she admitted.

While not naming any names, the 20-year-old runway sensation insisted that she always played the diplomat, writing: "When that happens, I don’t say anything right away, because it’s a really sensitive subject for my siblings."

"I just wait it out and see if he or she finds out on their own," she added.

"Eventually, though, I will say something if I feel like one of my brothers or sisters are being taken advantage of, or could be getting hurt."

The model acknowledged that it might not always be easy for the new person to ingratiate themselves with her as she struggles with shyness at times.

"It’s also sometimes tough for me to meet new significant others because even though I’m welcoming, I’m naturally kind of awkward and shy when I don’t know someone," she admitted.

Whether it's Kris Humphries, Tyga or Blac Chyna she's referring to, we don't know, but we have our suspicions..

I'm going to be really honest here: showbiz junkie I may be, but I have never had a 'team'.

I don't have any particular grá for Taylor Swift, nor hatred of Kim Kardashian. There was a time when I hailed Kanye West as one of the great musical geniuses of our time, but my opinion of him soured somewhere around the time that he began referring to himself as a god.

Impartial as I may be towards the 'squads' of Hollywood, there is one thing I can say with utter conviction: the leaking of Taylor Swift's telephone conversation, and the subsequent tide of abuse it sparked on social media has left me horrified, concerned and sick to my stomach.

Now, I know only too well that those are strong words to use in relation to people I don't know personally, and a story that is considered by many to be tabloid fodder – but if there is one thing I can recognise and relate to, it's bullying.

At this stage, it doesn't really matter which lyrics were or were not approved; the second that video was shared online, this conversation switched from celebrity 'beef' to a full-on witch-hunt, with Kim and Kanye holding the torch.

This video did more than vindicate Kim and Kanye (although we have yet to hear Taylor give her approval to the 'bitch' lyrics) – it threw out ammo to the blood-thirsty nay-sayers who have been on Taylor Swift's tail since sometime between her ill-fated romance with Harry Styles and becoming the highest paid celebrity in the world.

Sure, Kim can say that she was just standing up for her man, but her delight in the blazing reaction across social media took it a step further. This was viewed by her – and so many others – as an achievement.

Kim seemed amused – no, proud – as Taylor got trolled with snake emojis on Instagram, as the 'Taylor Swift Party Is Over' hashtag began to trend on Twitter, as a 'RIP Taylor Swift' mural was created in Melbourne. And those who partook in the trolling found the entire thing as thrilling as they did entertaining.

How messed up is that?

As I read the various articles and social media updates, I couldn't help but wonder what it would be like to be on the receiving end of this tidal wave of abuse and hatred; having people delight in my supposed 'downfall'. After all, she's just a young woman – what has she done to deserve all the hate; to have people waiting with baited breath for her to fail?

Is it because she's had a string of boyfriends? If that's the case, half the population is doomed the next time they put a toe out of line. Is it because she seems too sweet to be wholesome? Is it because she's too successful for the rest of the world to stomach?

I don't know why people hate Taylor Swift. All I know is that I hope she is in the right frame of mind right now, and has the right people around her; because I can imagine there's nothing quite like having the misplaced hatred and animosity of the world upon you to send you over the edge to a dark place.

You can say she got what was coming to her; you can say she lied to the world while collecting that Grammy; you can say that calling Kanye's sex lyric a 'compliment' was weird (I know I do);  but you cannot say that all that justifies the rabid persecution Taylor Swift has endured this week.

Now, there are some who believe that this whole thing is an elaborate PR stunt from the Kardashians – if this is the case, shame on that entire family. And of the suggestion that Taylor is in on it too, all I can say is that I hope it's part of some hard-hitting awareness campaign on the damages and dangers of bullying. 

As for Khloe's attack on Chloe Grace Moretz – I think Ruby Rose summed up what we were all thinking.

This has gone way beyond celebrity beef, a song or a telephone call; this Taylor-Kimye situation is one of the most candid and uncomfortably real narratives we have to date on cyber-bullying, and all those who participated need to give themselves a long, unfiltered look in the mirror.

If you've spent half the morning trying to get a handle on your finances, but haven't gotten very far, you're not alone.

Allied Irish Bank customers have been met with 'connection error' messages when attempting to log in to their account through the bank's official app.

Taking to social media to alert their customers to the issue, Aib Customer Support tweeted: "We're experiencing technical issues on Internet, Tablet & Mobile Banking and are working towards a resolution, appreciate your patience."

As of yet, the customer service department are unable to offer the public a time frame regarding its resolution, telling customers: "I'm afraid we have no update on a time frame as of yet, but we will send an update out once we do."

It is important to note that AIB customers are still able to use their cards and carry out transactions in branch as normal.

When The Late Late Show teased viewers with a sneak peek of this week's Carpool Karaoke, we all knew we were in for a serious treat, but NOTHING could have prepared us for the wonder that was the White House edition.

Maybe it's because she hadn't rode shotgun in over seven years, but the First Lady of the United States really brought her A-game when it came to cruising with Corden.

From Sign, Sealed, Delivered to Single Ladies, Michelle Obama did not hold back, and we are fan-girling all over ourselves here at SHEmazing! HQ this morning.

Oh, and just when we thought it couldn't get any better, Missy Elliott rocked up…
