Let's face it, no one's ever likely to call Blac Chyna 'low-key', but the sheer level of bling which has been boasted  -sorry, posted – on her Instagram page today is cray even for her!

Hours after announcing that she's set to say 'I do' to the K sisters' younger brother Rob, the 27-year-old has uploaded not one, not two but THREE diamond-devoted images to social media.

In a video which was posted to Instagram last night, a gloved hand can be seen displaying Chyna's seven-carat diamond engagement ring,  and it's seriously BLINDING.

 

I'm so blessed and honored to have good man in my life, I love you @robkardashian ! #7carats #VVS @benballer

Unsurprisingly, some of the star's followers were quick to question how just big a 'surprise' Rob's proposal actually was, with one writing: "Why did they have this video taken of the ring while it was being bought?! Or they bought it together..?"

Shortly after the video which left us with somewhat of a migraine, Chyna shared a cartoon image of herself and her bae, and – surprise surprise – even cartoon Chyna can't help showing off that whopper of a rock. 

And just incase we missed it the first three times, a few hours later the star, who shares a son with rapper Tyga, gave us all yet another close-up of the ring which is sure to send Kardashian family life into a tailspin.

Commenting on the rock, one follower of the star said what we've ALL been thinking since that sparkle hit social media yesterday, writing:"Bruh, this is brighter and bigger than my future."

Took the words out of our mouths.

When Anna Chlumsky sobbed over Thomas J's glasses in My Girl, we swore she'd never make us that emotional again, and yet here we are feeling totally moved by the fact our favourite childhood star is set to become a mum again.

The popular Veep star, who tied the knot with husband Shaun So in 2008, announced the news during a Facebook chat with Travel + Leisure yesterday, and her representative has since gone on to confirm reports to People magazine.

Showing off a blossoming baby bump during the chat, the star told Travel + Leisure that a little R&R is top of her agenda now that baby number 2 is on the way.

"It’s all about relaxing," she explained. "Being as expectant as I am, we’re going to keep it low-key and try to get a beach vacation in pretty soon."

The 35-year-old actress, who is proud mum to two-year-old daughter Penelope, has previously spoken of her love for motherhood.

"I didn’t know I would love it this much," she told press during a red carpet interview. "I thought I was going to be a lot more freaked out than I am, but it’s so much better than you could ever imagine."

Congrats Anna!

It looks like this week is going from bad to worse for Michaella McCollum, the 23-year-old Tyrone-native who was recently released from a Peruvian prison after two years and three months inside for drug trafficking offences.

Having recently conducted an interview with RTÉ, both the former model and national broadcaster have been subject to intense backlash on social media, with members of the public scorning the interviewer's gentle approach and Michaella's justification for the crime.

But it seems the backlash has stepped up a notch with the McCollum family claiming they have endured harassment and intimidation at the hands of an Irish daily newspaper.

According to a statement released yesterday by Belfast solicitor, Kevin Winter, the McCollum family have initiated legal proceedings against the newspaper in question.

Thanking various other media outlets for the respect they have been shown with regards Michaella's case, the statement read: "For the most part there have been no issues or difficulties save for one intimidating approach."

The statement continued: "On Sunday two members of staff from an Irish daily newspaper subjected the McCollum family including Michaella to harassment and intimidation as they tried to get into a taxi."

"We are instructed to issue legal proceedings against the newspaper in relation to the incident and a formal letter of claim will issue tomorrow."

While Michaella's family understand the public interest in the case, they have requested 'space and privacy' as they navigate the next stage of Michaella's parole process.

Ooh, Amy Schumer isn't a happy bunny. 

The comedienne has called out Glamour Magazine for including her in a lost of 'plus size' celebs.

In the special 'Chic At Any Size' edition, the 34-year-old has said that the message the mag is sending out will be picked up wrong by teenagers and young girls.

 

A video posted by @amyschumer on

She took to Instagram to voice her concerns on Tuesday: "I think there's nothing wrong with being plus size. Beautiful healthy women. Plus size is considered size 16 in America. 

"I go between a size 6 and an 8. @glamourmag put me in their plus size only issue without asking or letting me know and it doesn't feel right to me. 

"Young girls seeing my body type thinking that is plus size? What are your thoughts? Mine are not cool glamour not glamourous."

A while later she added: "Just a little odd an unfair not to be told."

Do you agree with Amy? We think it's bad that she wasn't even told about it!

Domhnall Gleeson has been making waves all over the world recently, and now he's signed himself on to star in a new Netflix movie.

The Dublin actor is going to star alongside Saturday Night Live's Will Forte in a film about the US satirical magazine National Lampoon.

The mag ceased publication in 1998, but was a major success in the 70s and 80s.

The flick is an adaptation from Josh Karp's book A Futile and Stupid Gesture: How Doug Kenny and National Lampoon Changed Comedy Forever, with Domhnall taking on the role of the mag's boss Henry Beard.

As Star Wars: Episode VIII is set to film in Ireland in May, there's just no stopping this Dublin man.

We all know shopping for make-up can be a bit daunting. You stroll around boots for hours on end (well, minutes on end) trying to find the perfect shade of lipstick, nail polish and powder.

Mix all that up with sending your partner out and it can turn out to be a total mess. That's what this girl did, and her poor boyfriend hadn't a clue what to make of it all.

Here's their conversation below, and just wait until you reach the end, you'll be laughing out loud:

Mrs Brown’s Boys actor Danny O’Carroll is in the midst of setting up a charity fundraiser in Donegal to raise funds for the family of the Buncrana victims.

Danny plays Buster in the hugely popular TV show and originally planned to hold a fundraiser for Pieta House. But, when the star saw the tragedy of Buncrana he decided a fundraiser for the family of the victims would be the right thing to do as well.

“They are two separate causes but I thought with all the celebrities who are going to be in Donegal on May 27 we could get two events up and running,” Danny told The Irish Mirror.

The fundraiser is set to host a celebrity golf classic at the Rosapenna Golf Couse on May 27, and also a gala dinner at the Shandon Hotel and Spa in Dunfanaghy on the same night.

Roald Dahl's stories are something we'll always remember from our childhood. But, one of our all-time favourite's is making its way onto the big screen.

The BFG tells the story of a little girl who meets a Big Friendly Giant, and he shows her all the wonders of Giant Country. At 24-feet tall, with enormous ears and a strong sense of smell, the giant keeps to himself for the most part… Until Sophie comes along.

With Steven Spielberg directing the flick, we can only imagine the wonder and amusement of the movie. And no matter how old we are, we can't wait for the film to bring us back to our childhood.

The BFG debuts in Ireland on July 22, but for now here's the trailer (eeek!).

Tuesday always seems to be the meh day of the week. It's not as bad as Monday, yet it's not hump day either… But this Tuesday has turned around rapidly since we found out that James Vincent McMarrow is playing an impromptu gig in Dublin tonight.

The singer is performing in Doyle's pub with the proceeds going to Dublin's Simon Community.

He sent out a very sweet tweet as well, telling his fans he's going back to where it all began, having first played in Doyle's in 2009.

What more can we say though, a great Irish artist performing for a great cause.

Grace and Frankie delighted our screens last year as Netflix debuted its first season – which had us absolutely hooked.

The two women found their lives were turned upside down when both of their husbands revealed they were gay and ran away with each.

But the two ladies, (despite how different the are) stuck together to make sure they made the most out of their lives.

With so much drama from season one, we can't wait to see what is in store for Grace and Frankie in season two, debuting on May 6.

Watch the trailer here, it already has us hooked (again).

When Sarah Hyland dyed her golden locks black…we didn't know how to feel about it.

Of course she's gorgeous and looks good no matter what colour her hair is, but let's be honest, it was a BIG change.

However, now that we have warmed to the darker hue (and found out the reason for the change), we're ready to switch up our do's after her most recent Dirty Dancing snap.

According to Teen Vogue, Sarah's hairstylist explained that the actress went to the dark side because she is transforming into her character, Lisa Houseman, for the upcoming remake of Dirty Dancing

But now, Sarah has unveiled the next step in her transformation, and that's very, very long hair.

In an Instagram pic of the new do', Sarah captioned the snap, "Say hello to Lisa Houseman." Hello, indeed. We think it's time to make an appointment with our hairdresser.

Ah, the ‘90s; the era of multi-coloured shell-suits, when a bum-bag was the most coveted ‘it’ piece we could own, and we looked to Cher Horowitz for style inspo.

While throwbacks to your botched attempt at ‘The Rachel’ may leave you shuddering with mortification, the ‘90s were undoubtedly a time of unique and colourful fashion statements – which is why we are secretly delighted that they're back in vogue!

We're currently obsessed with the twenty-ten twist on ‘90s fashion – think more ‘Gwen circa Don’t Speak’, less ‘Dwayne Robertson rocking a turtle-neck’ – and here are three of our fave looks to try out this spring.

Grunger Girl

Take your inspiration from the rebellious, don’t-give-a-damn punk-rock look of the Nirvana fan of yore.

Your plaid shirt is your best friend, and you work it to the max – with a crop-top and high-waist mom jeans, over a maxi tube dress, with edgy cut-out boots or your favourite trainers.

Complete the look with a slick of deep purple lippie and a choker, and you’re ready to rock.

Your investment piece: A timeless, kick-ass leather jacket.

Sporty Spice

We hope you’ve been practicing your high kicks, because this season is all about ‘athleisure’ – which basically means that you have free licence to wear your trackies and trainers anywhere and everywhere.

For this look, think Sporty Spice with a modern twist – football jerseys under blazers, ADIDAS stripes down the leg of your smart trousers, wear-with-anything bomber jackets, and trainers with EVERYTHING!

Also, remember: a mesh panel in a T-shirt or leggings will give an oh-so subtle and sexy nod to the trend.

Your investment piece: A mesh numeral top/jersey.

Clarissa Darling

It’s no wonder there’s talk of a Clarissa Explains It All revival – not only did the show guide us through the trials and tribulations of pre-adolescence, but her style was quintessential ‘90s – bold, bright and in-your-face!

Flowery brimmed hats aside, Clarissa is our guide this season when it comes to pulling off that cute jeans-and-T-shirt look. Your dungarees and denim pinafore dress are your go-to pieces, to be teamed with a cute crop top or off-the-shoulder number.

A backpack will complete any look, whether you go for an oversized printed T-shirt and leggings, or a basic ribbed bodysuit and ripped high-waist jeans.

Your investment piece: A slogan bodysuit.

Now, let’s hear it for all the fly chicas!
