These days, it seems like every celebrity has their very own cookbook – and now, Kim Kardashian might be hopping on the bandwagon.

If you follow the reality star on Snapchat, then you'll know all about her 'Soul Food Sundays' she snaps about every week.

Yep, the mother-of-two has turned into quite the domestic goddess, and Kanye, Chrissy Teigen and John Legend have all given her the seal of approval.

A source told People, that her friends and family love her cooking so much that they want her to write her own cookbook.

"Kim is starting to cook so much more than she has in her entire life.

"She's actually considering a cookbook, and she's pretty serious about it. It all started with Kanye's encouragement as he loves when she cooks him food," said the insider.

The source added that Kim is "testing the waters" at the moment to see if her fans would be interested in a cookbook and has even started posting more foodie pics on social media.

We're not too sure about this one… Would you be able to handle a Kimmy K Kookbook?!

Much and all as we'd like to pretend we can enjoy a gig no matter what the weather, we don't splash out on those über- sassy flower crowns only to be p*ssed on all weekend.

Thankfully, it doesn't looks like that'll be the case for anyone lucky enough to be heading to Longitude this weekend!

That's right ladies, you can hoof your rain poncho back under the bed because it sounds like the weather gods are planning to smile on you while you kick it wih Kendrick and chill with Chvrches.

According to Met Éireann, despite the clouds and patchy outbreaks of rain affecting the north of the county, Friday is set to reach 22 degrees while Saturday will be perfect festival weather – warm and sunny with just a 10 percent chance of precipitation.

And Sunday? You'll be looking at the same again with highs of 21 degrees and 'no significant volume of rain'.

Now, all we need is a damn ticket.

With discussion surrounding rape culture and the prevalence of victim-shaming continuing to rage around the world, one might wonder who green-lit a safety pamphlet entitled R U ASKING 4 IT?

Issued to students during a police talk at Bristol College last week, the pamphlet outlined measures to ensure personal safety, but failed to see how their literature might be considered victim-shaming of the highest order.

Commenting on the leaflet, Kizzie Tims, 16, who attended the talk along with 50 other students said: "The leaflet was about personal safety – robberies and muggings – but was not appropriate when taking about rape."

Taking to social media to outline the glaring issue with the literature, one Twitter user wrote: "We should be teaching people not to rape, not teaching us how to avoid it!!"

"Victim blaming arose rather quickly from the police, telling girls that they shouldn’t drink on nights out and suggesting that it was more the victim’s job to prevent the attack from happening," explained one 17-year-old male student who also attended the talk.

Responding to the controversy, Avon and Somerset Police acknowledged the literature was ill-advised, saying: "Students were right to challenge the incorrect message. We are sorry and we will be re-delivering the workshop."

"Any suggestion that a victim of rape or sexual assault can ever, in any way, be to blame is totally unacceptable," they added in a series of posts on Twitter.

Too little, too late?

There's nothing worse than coming across a catfish – especially when you kinda fancied them.

That gorgeous lad with blonde hair and crackin' abs actually turned out to be the exact opposite and you're left devastated.

Sure, catfishing is so common that MTV has aired a show about it for years now.

So that's why we were delighted to hear that the dating app, Badoo, has finally taken steps to combat any ill-suitors.

According to Cosmo, Badoo is actually the world's largest dating apps, with an insane 300 millions users, so it's no wonder it's come up with a way to combat the annoying issue.

One of the app's new anti-catfishing features is the 'Selfie Request' function.

So, if you're chatting to someone you fancy, but suspect that all is not as it seems, you can send a 'Selfie Request' to them so they can take a picture right there and then.

If your new interest accepts the request it'll be pretty easy to cop if they're telling the truth or lying. And if they deny the request, well… see ya later, mate.

Another feature for fighting off any liars is the 'Photo Verification' step when you first sign up.

This will ask the new user to send a selfie of a very specific pose, which will then be assessed by one of Badoo's 5,000 moderators. They'll be able to tell if the photo is real or fake, and if it's fake, well then sorry, there's no entry into the site for you either.

As well as that, Badoo has also introduced a video function for users' profiles, which means you'll be able to give an nice little intro to any potential love interests, and you'll also be able to seek out who is real and who is lying.

With all that in order, it should be easy to find a nice partner… right?

Beyoncé and Jay Z are two of the world's hardest working musicians in the business, and as a result of their efforts, the pair have nabbed the number one spot on the 2016 Forbes celebrity couple list.

The Carter's managed to rake in a whopping €97 million in the last 12 months, allowing them to claim the throne as the world's highest earning celebrity couple.

Queen Bey made a cool €49 million this year by playing 19 shows in the past 12 months, and releasing her successful new album, Lemonade

“I’ve never met anyone that works harder than me in my industry,” the songstress once told Forbes.

Jay Z has not released music in three years, but has been busy with a number of other ventures.

The award winning rapper makes millions on his Armand de Brignac champagne, D’Ussé cognac and entertainment company Roc Nation, along with his streaming service Tidal and his 40/40 nightclub in New York City.

Last year's top earning couple was the musical duo Taylor Swift, and ex-boyfriend, and hugely successful DJ, Calvin Harris. 

Had these two music moguls remained an item, they would have been listed as the highest earning celebrity couple in the world, ahead of Beyoncé and Jay Z.

With communities in the United States continuing to reel from the spate of senseless violence which has played out across the country in recent weeks, the Black Lives Matter movement is gaining ever more momentum.

Eager to support the cause and highlight the importance of solidarity, the Anti Racism Network Ireland and the Movement of Asylum Seekers in Ireland have organised a demonstration in Dublin's city centre this evening.

Taking place at the Spire on O' Connell Street at 6.30pm, the organisations have requested the support of those who condemn the 'horrific acts of violence' which have taken place in the States in recent weeks.

"We condemn the horrific acts of violence perpetrated on a daily basis by US law enforcement against Black bodies," they wrote in a Facebook post last night.

"It is clear then that a Black person’s mere existence still represents a threat worthy of extermination, as evidenced by the circumstances surrounding the deaths of Trayvon Martin, Miriam Carey, Tanisha Anderson…"

"We therefore stand in solidarity with the #‎BlackLivesMatter ‬movement in the US and their struggle against deeply ingrained institutional racial prejudice, but also against the international system of white supremacy," they added.

Those who wish to attend the demonstration this evening have been encouraged to bring placards and banners outlining their support for the movement.

Growing up in a house with an Irish Mammy means we're used to being called by the wrong name on the regular – Hell, some of us even answer to the dog's nickname if needs must – but should we ever rise to the dizzying heights of fame enjoyed by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, we'd expect people to know who the hell we are.

Thankfully, the lads behind one of the biggest bands in the world clearly aren't as highly strung as us here at SHEmazing! HQ, and couldn't have cared less when they were mistaken for Metallica in an airport in Belarus recently.

Taking to Instagram to share a snap of himself signing a selection of Metallica merch, Flea wrote: "We were called into customs officials office at an airport in Belarus and they asked us to sign a bunch of Metallica cd's and photos."

"We tried to explain to them that we weren't Metallica but they insisted that we sign anyway," he wrote in a post which has been liked almost 20,000 times since its upload. "They had the power."

"Well I did play fight fire with Metallica once. I love Metallica anyways but I'm no Robert Trujillo," the world-famous bassist added.

Fans of RHCP were all over the story, with one writing: "That's the funniest thing I have ever heard' and another commenting: "That story has made my day."

If Carpool Karaoke wasn't enough to prove they're some of the soundest lads in the industry…

Earlier this year, Disney announced that they are adding on to three of their theme-parks; Disneyland, Disney's Hollywood Studios and Disneyworld but, we didn't expect it to look so ah-mazing.

Star Wars Land is officially in the works and the company just gave us a little glimpse of what it's going to look like.

In a new blog post by Disney Parks, a new image was revealed of the Star Wars galaxy.

"Nestled between towering spires of rock, this thriving port contains a seemingly familiar architecture of markets, landing zones and buildings.

"Look closely and you may find hints of some of the thrilling experiences that are coming – like the Millennium Falcon peeking out of one of the cargo bays, marking the location where guests will ge the opportunity to pilot the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy."

There's still no opening date for Star Wars Land, but we can only guess it'll take a while to create that much magic.

If you sense you might suffer some serious Love Island withdrawals after Cara and Nathan were crowned official winners last night, then it's time to pull up a pew to the programme's spin-off show.

That's right, the lads and ladies from one of TV's most controversial shows are more than happy to give viewers a peek into their lives as those last bikinis are packed away and the sand is blown off those passports.

According to Cosmo, ITV have announced that die-hard fans will be given a chance to follow the islanders as they head back to the UK and get a front-row seat for the fireworks which are bound to go off as they face each other at the wrap party.

"Dishing all the dirt on what happened when our Islanders got dumped from paradise, Love Island: Heading Home follows the contestants as they return to the UK," ITV said in light of the big announcement.

"Coming face to face for the first time since leaving the villa, what will happen when the Islanders are reunited at the series wrap party?" they asked. "Will it be round two for Terry and Malin? Will Tom forgive Sophie's dalliance with Katie?"

Finish off 'a summer of fun, frolics and feverish flirting' by watching those lovestruck lads and ladies adjust to life back in Britain.

Excuse us while we shriek all over ourselves.

They were only married for 18 months, but it seems Cheryl still has her claws dug in to Jean Bernard Versini.

The singer is in the middle of a legal bind with the restaurateur which forbids him to talk about their relationship to anyone.

The former couple are going through a "protracted separation," and Cheryl was afraid Jean Bernard would start to talk about her to the media as she's taking on numerous projects at the moment and it would be bad for her rep.

The Sun reports that the French businessman wants to tell his side of the story.

"JB just wanted to have the freedom to speak but he knew that he couldn't fight against Cheryl's lawyers," an insider told the publication.

"He doesn't have the money for a long drawn out legal battle and Cheryl is adamant she doesn't want him to speak about their relationship."
