Models Gigi and Bella Hadid are known the world over for their stunning good looks, but their mother’s latest holiday snaps show that the source of the girls’ beauty is no great mystery after all.

Last night Yolanda Hadid – who is currently holidaying on the tropical island of Tahiti – took to Instagram to showcase her incredible figure in a red and black bikini.

And the 52-year-old Real Housewives star made sure to let her 1.8million followers know she’s not taking her time away for granted.

She captioned the post: “Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with Love, Grace and Gratitude”.

Not only has Yolanda – who divorced music producer David Foster in December – shared the happy moments of her life with fans recently, she’s also been documenting her ongoing battle with Lyme disease.

Last week the model shared a photo of herself undergoing treatment for the condition – an illness which Bella also suffers from – and despite being hooked up to a drip, she seemed to be feeling pretty upbeat as she smiled and posed for the camera.

 

She captioned the image: “Strenght does not come from physical capacity, but rather from an indomitable will to get well and never give up” [sic].

We're loving this lady's ability to remain positive through the good times and the bad.

G'wan Yolanda!

If anyone is going to have an insider perspective on Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid's rollercoaster romance, it's going to be Zayn's former fiancée, right?

Following reports that the former 1D member is no longer in a relationship with Kendall Jenner's BFF, a source close to Zayn's former girlfriend, Perrie Edwards, reportedly admitted that she wasn't overly surprised.

Speaking to HollywoodLife.com, the insider explained that the Little Mix star knows how difficult it can be to date the Bradford native, saying: "She knows the chaos all too well."

"The ups and the downs with Zayn were exhausting and she’s just happy that she’s in a different place in her life now," they added.

Having been unceremoniously dumped by Zayn back in 2015, the 23-year-old singer is apparently unsurprised that Zayn and Gigi's romance has been far from plain sailing.

"Perrie isn’t surprised that there is already drama circling over Zayn and Gigi," the insider admitted. "Are they together? Did they split? She’s just relieved that she’s not part of it."

She's not the only one!

Helen Mirren might be 70-years-old but the Oscar-winning actress proved she’s far from old-fashioned this weekend when she openly praised Kim Kardashian’s bum.

In an interview with The Sunday Telegraph's Stella magazine, the Dame said that while she’s not an avid fan of Keeping Up with the Kardashians she does respect Kim for her part in redefining modern beauty standards.

She said: “I’m not into the Kardashians, it’s a phenomenon I just don’t find interesting…But – and this is the big word: B-U-T-T – it’s wonderful that you’re allowed to have a butt nowadays! Thanks to Madame Kardashian, and before her, J-Lo.” 

“We’re also allowed to have thighs now, which is great too.  It’s very positive,” she added.

The actress also praised a number of well-known faces for their part in expanding what is seen as acceptable behaviour for women and even expressed her love for “shameless women”.

She said: "Women were controlled by being shamed, so I love women who have claimed their own bodies: Madonna, Chrissie Hynde, Joan Jett, Bonnie Raitt.”

“I love Pussy Riot more than anything in the world. They all raise their middle fingers to this epithet of 'slut'.  They wear what they want to wear, behave as they want to behave.”

 

 

When you're like I have nothing to wear LOL

Back in March Kim Kardashian sparked a whole lot of controversy when she posted a nude selfie on Instagram.

She later said she found the decision to post the photo empowering and that through doing so she hoped to encourage all women to feel empowered.

While her plan might not have pleased everyone, it certainly seems to have worked for Helen.

If international acclaim and a top five single weren't enough to celebrate this year, the lead single of Danish group, Lukas Graham, has announced that life is about to get even better!

Speaking to People magazine in recent days, the 7 Years singer revealed that he and his girlfriend Marie-Louise Schwartz Petersen are expecting their first child.

Clearly buzzing over the wonderful news, Lukas, who recently performed at the Billboard Awards, told the magazine: "In September, a little golden nugget will be welcomed into the world."

"Seeing my child born is so much more important than anything else I’ve got going on," he said in light of his numerous other achievements this year.

The Danish musician went on to explain that his girlfriend's pregnancy takes priority over everything else right now, revealing that he intends to take a two-month break from touring following the arrival of his child in Autumn.

We're super happy for him!

Getting snarky about one of the world's greatest sporting icons following their death is a fairly big no-no in anyone's language, but it looks like good ol' Piers Morgan never got that particular memo.

Thankfully, one of the world's most popular couples wasted no time reminding him of this when he took to Twitter to slam the public's response to the passing of boxing legend Muhammad Ali.

Responding to Pier's tweet which read: "I hope people don't make me sound too perfect when I die. No coats of sugar please" John Legend hit back, tweeting: "You could test us by announcing your retirement."

Proving she always has her husband's back, new momma and Lip Sync Battle host, Chrissy, added: "From what? Trolling isn't a job (I've tried)"

The spat escalated when Piers told Chrissy modelling wasn't a real job and she made reference to an ill-advised comment he made upon the release of Beyoncé's Lemonade.

The snarky digs and comments went back and forth, with Chrissy eventually tweeting: "My newborn just looked up at me and said 'Mommy, why is Piers Morgan so unequivocally douchy/' I didn't know what to say."

Chrissy 1. Piers 0.

Last week, Charlotte Crosby announced on Twitter that she quit Geordie Shore, after it came to light that she suffered an ectopic pregnancy with co-star Gary Beadle's baby.

The drama was all too much for her, so she bowed out, only to regret it on Sunday.

The reality TV star, who burst onto our screens in 2011, wrote on Twitter that it was the "worst decision" she ever made in her life.

Gary, however, decided to reply tp Char's tweet and instantly reassured her that all was not lost.

"It's not to late," he tweeted at the Newcastle native. "Get a bag packed and get your arse here…(sic)."

Whatever Charlotte decides to do, we just hope she's happy.

It absolutely shocked us when Mark Salling was arrested on child pornography charges at the end of last year, but we're even more shocked now to hear that Mark has pleaded not guilty.

According to the Associated Press, Mark, otherwise known as Puck from Glee, pleaded not guilty to two child pornography charges last Friday.

In December 2015, the actor was arrested on suspicion of possessing "hundreds" of explicit child images as well as two videos featuring underage girls.

His bail was set at $150,000 (€132,000) and he also must wear a monitoring bracelet, submit to drug tests, and seek employment.

If Mark is convicted, he could face up to 40 years in prison.

His new trial date has been set for July 12.

We think 2016 is the year of Justin Beiber's unusual hair decisions, however, his latest look is giving us total Draco Malfoy vibes and we don't know if we like it or not.

Justin has been sharing loads of snaps from his weekend, and he's seen with bright peroxide blond hair.

It may be a little to sunny for us, but each to their own we guess.

We at Shemazing! HQ fancy a refreshing G&T every now and then, but a hotel in London is opening a four-floor gin distillery – and you can spend the night.

Portobello Road Gin has announced plans to open the city-centred distillery this week and it'll be ready for gin lovers to sleep in by the end of the year.

It will feature a traditional gin bar, a gin museum, a special gin shop, a 'Gintonic' restaurant, a real-life distillery and a number of boutique hotel rooms. We like it already!

If you stay, you can also join its 'Ginstitute' where you will learn all about blending your own gins and making some delicious cocktails.

It plans to open in November, but we're kinda already there in our heads.

Irish model Jeremy McConnell has claimed numerous times that he's not the father of Stephanie Davis' baby and now he says he has proof.

His reason is; she told him she was "on her period" after their split.

Hmmm, OK then, Jez.

The reality star has been denying the claims since the day the news broke that Steph was expecting and he thinks his proof is pretty solid.

He told TV Now: "Look, if she is pregnant it's not my kid. She had her period. We had been broken up."

I think we all know that us gals can bleed even when expecting a baby, so we're not going to take this proof as 100%.
