Calvin Harris has taken to Twitter to confirm that his ex Taylor Swift did in fact play a part in the production of This Is What You Came for which he released with Rihanna earlier this year and the superstar DJ even managed to take a tidy shot at Hiddleswift while he was at it.

Today TMZ reported that back when Talvin was a thing the pair came up with the tune and recorded a demo of it on TayTay’s phone but later decided not to release it together, hence why Rihanna eventually appeared on the track.

And while Taylor was originally named as a co-writer in the credits, her name was later changed to Nils Sjoberg which is apparently her pseudonym.

With reports circulating that the song is what came between the couple and eventually propelled Taylor into the arms of Tom Hiddleston, Calvin has stepped up to put the record straight.

In a series of new tweets the Scottish DJ admits Taylor did play a role in the creation of the song and calls her an “amazing lyric writer” (sweet) before calling out Taylor’s team for trying to make him look bad with the story.

He wrote: “She sings on a little bit of it too…Amazing lyric writer and she smashed it as usual.”

“I wrote the music, produced the song, arranged it and cut the vocals though.  And initially she wanted it kept secret, hence the pseudonym.”

“Hurtful to me at this point that her and her team would go so far out of their way to try and make ME look bad at this stage though.”

Things then got real juicy when Calvin attacked the seemingly unbreakable Hiddleswift by tweeting: “I figure if you're happy in your new relationship you should focus on that instead of trying to tear your ex bf down for something to do.”

“I know you're off tour and you need someone new to try and bury like Katy ETC but I'm not that guy, sorry. I won't allow it.”  Oh, Calvin!

“Please focus on the positive aspects of YOUR life because you've earned a great one.”

“God bless everyone have a beautiful day.”

He finished the Twitter tirade with a link to the song in question in which he tagged Rihanna, not Taylor.

We think we need a little lie down after that.

Plain old vanilla might be the default option when it comes to ice cream, but it seems this summer’s coolest treat trend has gone to the dark side for inspiration.

In between the endless stream of melting chocolate balls, icy Frappuccinos and rainbow coloured doughnuts which have come to dominate Instagram’s food porn network, you may have noticed a very unusual looking iced dessert known as black ice cream.

Pictures tagged #blackicecream show scooped and whipped ice creams served in a variety of ways, all of which are black in colour and seem to be popping up around the world. 

 

 

Black ice cream! Woooooow #happytime #blackicecream #icecream #food #morgensternsnyc

The Tech Times has reported that Morgenstern’s Finest Ice Cream shop in New York is one vendor playing its role in the charcoal-coloured trend.

According to the site, Morgenstern’s black ice cream is Black Coconut Ash flavour which combines dark chocolate ice cream, squid-ink based food dye and a new flavour made from the “charred and processed remains of a coconut shell”.

 

And as if having black ice cream isn’t cool enough, it has been suggested that the activated charcoal in the recipe can help detox the body so you could say black ice cream is actually good for you.

We all know there's no love lost between Piers Morgan and Chrissy Teigen, but it looks like the online feud as finally come to a head after the Sports Illustrated model finally blocked the Good Morning Britain host on Twitter today.

After penning an opinion piece on Jennifer Aniston's recent thought-provoking essay, Piers suggested that despite the fact he has enormous respect for the Friends actress, he can't help but feel she – in some ways – contributes to the unrealistic pressures placed on women in today's society.

"It’s this: female stars like Jennifer Aniston deliberately perpetuate the myth of ‘perfection’ by posing for endless magazine covers which have been airbrushed so much that in some cases the celebrity is virtually unrecognisable," he argued.

And it seems his piece for the Mail Online was the last straw for Chrissy who tweeted: "@piersmorgan saw your piece on Jennifer Aniston. Why do you ALWAYS take the road of being the piece of s**t a**hole?"

"Particularly with women and people of colour. Tell me it's just for clicks? Please tell me you aren't TRULY this vile," she added.

"Morning, Ms Teigen. You didn't actually read it did you…?" Piers responded. "Try doing that before throwing another diva tantrum."

In a break from the norm, it looks like social media users were with Piers on this one, with one Twitter user writing: "I'd usually side with you, but he's right on this one."

"Please don't tell anyone, but I sorta see @piersmorgan 's point on this one," added one while someone else tweeted: "I am a woman and I absolutely agree with @piersmorgan on his new column. How can we preach body positivity & then edit out flaws?"

While debate raged back and forth online, Piers realised Chrissy had taken one very big step, and informed his followers: "And… she's blocked me. Hahaha. It was fun @chrissyteigen – come back when you can handle adult debate."

Ding, ding, ding!

Of the many, many women in Hollywood we fan-girl over on a daily basis, Emma Stone and Maya Rudolph generally tend to come out on top.

Talented, funny and uber-charming, these two actresses have had the press and public eating out of their hands since day one, and we can think of no one else we'd rather have a vino (or 12) with after a long week.

But if we thought we'd seen the best they had to offer, we were oh-so mistaken.

While appearing on Maya and Marty on Tuesday night, the Help actress accompanied the show's host in a stunning rendition of Call Your Girlfriend with the help of two empty butter tubs.

Between their ridiculously sweet vocals and their mesmorising tub-work, these two are our new heroes.

Ladies, this is too good for words.

Dermot O'Leary must be feeling pretty chuffed with himself today as the TV presenter has reportedly signed an £8million contract which will see him host the X Factor for the next four years.

And that's not all – according to The Sun, the new deal will not prevent the British-born broadcaster from working on other projects while signed with the hit show so Dermot will be able to top-up his lucrative pay package whenever he feels the need to do so.

The 43-year-old host lost his spot on the hit talent show last year when he was rather unsuccessfully replaced by Olly Murs and Caroline Flack, but the break seems to have benefited Dermot in a big way as not only will he take back his position as the show’s host, he is also about to become the highest-paid solo presenter on British television.

An insider told The Sun:  “This is the comeback of all comebacks for Dermot.”

“Just one year after Cowell axed him, he’s signing the contract of a lifetime.”

“Simon may have had questions about Dermot’s commitment before but he soon realised he’d made a mistake."

“Even a couple of weeks into the live shows last year, enquires were being made about bringing Dermot back.”

“He had to think long and hard about it because he was loving working on a wide range of projects, including TV series for the BBC, documentaries and his Radio 2 show.”

“But at the end of the day he loves X Factor and he was pretty much able to name his price – it was too good an opportunity to walk away from.”

The X Factor will be back on screens next month with Dermot as host and Simon Cowell, Nicole Scherzinger, Louis Walsh and Sharon Osbourne as judges.

Days after her sudden death following a Kodaline concert in Marlay Park last weekend, Ciara Lawlor has been laid to rest in her native Kilkenny.

The Dublin four-piece flew in from the UK to pay their respects to the 17-year-old girl who passed away after falling ill during their gig in Rathfarnham on July 8th.

According to the Irish Independent, the band joined Ciara's classmates in a heartfelt rendition of High Hopes as parish priest, Fr. Frank Purcell, paid tribute to the 'vivacious' secondary school student during her funeral at Saint John's church in Kilkenny today.

Due to sit her Leaving Cert next year, Ciara, who is understood to have had an underlying medical condition, was described by her heartbroken parents as "down to earth, a friend to everyone, a real people person."

Releasing a statement following Ciara's untimely passing, Kodaline spoke of their regret on Facebook, writing: "We are so saddened to say that during our concert at Marlay Park, a 17-year-old girl with a pre-existing medical condition suddenly became ill."


"We were shocked and devastated to be informed yesterday that despite the best efforts of all medical teams, she passed away in hospital."

"Our immediate thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of the deceased. We wish to extend our condolences on behalf of us and all of our crew," they added.

Ciara is survived by her parents, John and Eimear, and her brothers Barry and Jack.

Vicky Pattison might be well known for her ballsy on-screen persona, but the Queen of the Jungle revealed today that, just like everyone else, she can be her own worst critic.

According to Celebs Now, the former Geordie Shore cast member burst into tears as she shared with the Loose Women panel her battles with self-scutiny.

As part of this afternoon's show, Vicky had to listen back to a pre-recorded clip of herself as she voiced some of the negative thoughts she has about herself and, understandably, the experience was an emotional one for the reality star.

Vicky was reduced to tears as she heard herself saying: “What are you doing here?  You’re not as good as everyone else.”

The tape also revealed how the Newcastle native compares herself to other women and tells herself she’s doomed to fail.

She said: “Look at them – everyone’s so clever and glamorous.”

“They’re thinking, ‘Who are you, what are you doing here?’”

“Just make it easier and go now.  You’re gonna fail and everyone’s gonna laugh.”

Vicky went on to explain that she experiences such negative thoughts every day and admitted she tries hard to act like people’s comments don’t affect her but in reality they do.

She also confessed that her insecurities are only made worse by the comments she receives on social media.

She said: “People tear strips off the way you look, which is never nice. I get everything – people say I don’t deserve to be where I am because of my past.”

 

Since the show aired, Vicky has received a stream of online support with women admitting they love and admire her and encouraging her not to give in to the negativity which at times surrounds her.

The Geordie thanked her fans by tweeting: "So overwhelmed by all your amazing support and messages after my appearance on this afternoon's @loosewomen.. It was a tough one for me!"

A mother-of-one left pub-goers gobsmacked when she showed off her impressive weight-lifting skills in Temple Bar.

Amy O'Halloran, from the UK, was celebrating her birthday over the weekend when she was challenged by her friends to lift a man they were chatting to in a pub.

Now, her friends know that Amy is an amateur powerlifter and a former cyclo-cross cyclist, so when the crowd outside the pub saw her impressive skills, they were shocked.

The British woman lifted the man 14 times above her head, which was captured in an Instagram clip.

She captioned the video, "This happened!… So funny, accrued a little audience and everything (sic)."

Powerlifting in a dress? Now, that's impressive.

Unless you've been living under a rock for the past week, you'll know that a staggering number of people around the world have devoted a serious amount of time to catching a bunch of imaginary creatures with the help of their phones.

And, like everything else that takes the world by storm, it wasn't long before our social media feeds were awash with memes dedicated to the new game and posts detailing the impact it has had on society as we know it.

But if you –  like countless others – have had your fill of info on the trend, you'll be happy to know that there's a Chrome plugin which allows you to rid your feeds of all Pokémon Go references.

PokeGone (Props to whoever came up with that one) is a free extension which means you can log on without having to see anything about the game which is currently taking the world by storm.

Excuse us while we go do a little downloading…
