It's been a while since we've heard something super fun and sassy from Jennifer Lopez.

After teasing her new song earlier this week, J Lo released the full track on Spotify and it is on repeat in Shemazing! HQ.

As you can guess by the title, this song is going to be your new dating mantra. Who would ask J Lo to make them a sandwich anyway? Jeez…

Now, sit back, listen and remember you're a kick-ass gal and nobody can tell you what to do (except maybe your mammy).

We love pizza. In fact, we love it so much we'd go to great lengths to get it. But, not as great as this man.

Paul Price is a cyber-security expert from the UK and when feeling hungry (or hangry, who knows) one day, he used a simple tech trick to fool the pizza company into giving him free food.

He successfully ordered an 'Americano' pizza with extra pineapple and hot dog stuffed crust, a portion of chicken strippers and a tub of chocolate chip cookie ice cream straight to his door without having to pay for it.

Paul managed to fiddle with the Domino's app so it didn't process any card payment at the end of his order.

But after feeling a little guilty, he decided to pay for the meal when it came to his door.

"I told the delivery driver there must have been a mistake with the order as I never entered any card details and wanted to pay with cash," Paul admitted on his blog.

"He happily left with £26 and my conscience was clean."

The Hollywood couple are sure not hiding away from the limelight to celebrate their engagement. If anything, they're stepping in front of the papz more than ever this week.

Since they announced they were getting married on Monday, Blac has not stopped flashing her mega-bling ring, and after finding out how much Rob actually paid for it, we're not surprised.

Speaking to E!, jewellery designer Ben Baller spilled ALL the beans on Rob's decision.

"He called me and he was like, 'I have some ideas,' and he shot me over a few pics he saw on my IF & Co. Instagram page. He said, 'What can you do for me?' I said, 'Trust me.' And he agreed."

"$325,000 (€285,000) is pretty close to what he paid", Ben told the site. "But it could have been a lot more because of the clarity. It's hard to manipulate that kind of radiance on a diamond".

He also added: "She was really going crazy over the ring. She loves it."

At that price, we're sure she does.

If you're worried about how many calories you're consuming through drinking Prosecco every Friday night, then you need not worry anymore.

The makers of Skinny Champagne, Thomson & Scott, have unveiled its new Skinny Prosecco – and we're excited.

The new fizz contains just 67 calories and half the sugar content of your regular glass. Did we mention it's vegan-friendly, too? And organic. Yep, it just keeps giving.

“We’re all obsessed with the new war on sugar,” says Amanda Thomson, owner of the drinks company.

“I was raised on a sugar free diet by my mother and now 40 years later, it’s finally being recognised as the way forward for many like me who want to avoid the deadly granules! With Prosecco now dominating the market, Skinny Prosecco will be a brand that I’m confident that everyone will look for on the shelves and on their wine lists this year."

It sure will, Amanda. Unfortunately, it's not in Ireland juuuust yet, but if you want more info, visit here

We all love chocolate. There's nothing better than coming home from work and having some toast with chocolate spread on it. Pure bliss, right?

Well, what if you could make your own? We have the basic recipe here but if you want to change it up a bit for your own taste, then go ahead.

Sure, what diet?

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 115g of chocolate (70% or your own choice)
  • handful of hazelnuts
  • 140g unsalted butter, softened and cubed
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 cup sugar (granulated, honey, maple syrup)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch salt

Method:

1. In a saucepan, mix the water, sugar, salt and cocoa powder. Place pan on a medium heat and stir until the sugar and powder dissolve. Continue until it reaches a simmer.

2. Once simmered, remove from heat and add vanilla extract, butter and chocolate. Combine until the mixture is completely smooth.

3. Pour into a jar with an air-tight lid and refrigerate until thick (if eaten straight away it will have a hot fudge consistency).

Niall Horan has taken some inspo from James Corden with his own version of Carpool Karaoke.. except instead of singing, he toured around a golf course with Justin Timberlake.

While cruising around the course in Georgia, Niall chatted to JT and golfer Justin Rose about dancing and music festivals, and when Mr Rose brought up JT's song Sexyback, we thought they miiight have belted out the track.

Unfortunately they kept their (singing) mouths shut, but we now have the song on repeat.

The video is super cute and at the end the stars meet some budding kid golfers who are more than delighted to see them.

If you think your perfect guy is a mix of Justin Bieber and Zayn Malik, then look no further.

Imagine the combo of Zayn's dark brows and piercing eyes along with Justin's pouty lips and blonde hair… Sound perfect?

Well, Twitter has gone into meltdown today after a fan spotted David Carrera, a model from Spain.

He's the IMAGE of the two singers put together and many have said that he's the "perfect combination." 

Many who saw the model questioned if the photo was photoshopped, but David butted in and shared a picture with the caption, "I'm in here."

OK, David. We'll be there soon… Wherever that is…

The Kardashians have been super quiet since their brother Rob abd Blac Chyna announced their engagement two days ago.

And now we can see why as Blac's mam has completely blasted the family.

Tokyo Toni took to Instagram to post a photoshopped image of Kim, Khloe and Kylie crying while holding the train of Blac's wedding dress.

"This is funny!!" she wrote. "However!! Her train would be so long they assess would be in the Michigan triangle holding it and miss the wedding!! That's how far back they will be!!  Shots fired oh well!! It's social media!! And all these reality h**s are  Boxed or botched!!. Bonus – You not even going to be invited! I didn't see the invitation!"

She didn't stop there either as she went on to slag their Armenian background: "PS -,they are Armenian so no blonde hair blue eyes over here wheneva they do have a kid!! Let's get it poppin now!! Lol!!"

We're hoping one of the sisters hit back. It's not like them to go down without a fight.

A New York judge has dismissed Kesha's claims that producer Dr Luke violated her human rights by drugging, sexually abusing and emotionally tormenting her.

Judge Shirley Werner Kornreich gave the ruling in court – which Dr Luke denies. He has not been charged with any crime, either.

After showing a message on social media sent to her by Sony, which says if she retracts her statement she can take back her "freedom," Kesha received support from a number of celebs such as Adele, Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga.

But according to Yahoo, the judge stated that since the alleged incidents happened outside of New York, she can't do anything about it. Kesha's claims also don't meet the high legal bar for "intentional infliction of emotional distress," said the judge.

“Her claims of insults about her value as an artist, her looks and her weight are insufficient to constitute extreme, outrageous conduct intolerable in a civilised society.”

Judge Kornreich added that Kesha didn't say Dr Luke's attack were spurred by hostility towards women.

"Every rape is not a gender-motivated hate crime."
