While actress and singer Zendaya may be earning more than enough to be totally self-sufficient, she has no plans to leave the nest any time soon. 

The 19-year-old revealed that she still loves living at home with her parents. 

Oh and the perks of living at home remind us all why we actually never want to grow up. 

"I don't have to wake myself up," said the star to Ellen DeGeneres.

"I got a free ride… whenever I want. So why would I want to give that up?

Girl, we hear ya.

We all know that British actor Tom Hiddleston is devastatingly handsome and effortlessly debonair so it's really no wonder that fans are angling for him to play James Bond in the next instalment of films. 

Rumours have been flying for months now that Spectre would in fact be Daniel Craig's last film in the series, leaving the covetable part up for grabs. 

And it really is no surprise that Tom's name is on everyone's lips (well no surprise to everyone but him).

"I don't know honestly if I have a shot, but it's flattering that some people think I do," said the 35-year-old to E! News. 

"I think Daniel Craig has been one of the very best and I bet he [will do] more."

Despite not being convinced that Daniel is leaving, the actor holds a special appreciation for Bond movies. 

"When I was a child, when I was five years old, I remember very clearly on the BBC, they used to play reruns of the Sean Connery and Roger Moore Bonds every Saturday night. 

"It was a thrill that my parents let me stay up past my bedtime to watch it. God forbid you got back to school on Monday and you didn't because that's all people would talk about in the playground."

And it seems that Tom is even well seasoned for the role as he plays a British spy in the upcoming film, the Night Manager. 

Irish actor Aidan Turner has also been rumoured to be in the running for the Bond role (if it's even up for grabs that is).

Spotted posing for the camera in white heels and a cornflower-blue dress this week, there's no denying that Rosanna Davison already has her summer style on point.

Her label of the moment? Self Portrait, which she has already sported not once but twice in the last few days alone.  

The London based label has garnered a huge celeb following over the last couple of years, and while it's been around since 2013, it's still spotted on countless 'Best Dressed' lists.

Lace cut-outs, pretty floral themes and flattering cuts make the pieces oh-so Instagram-friendly – just take a look at Ms. Davison if you don't believe us:

Everyone from Glenda Gilson to Yvonne Keating has been spotted in the designs that fall somewhere between feminine and edgy – but the only problem for us non-celebs is their hefty price tag.

With dresses starting from €300 in Brown Thomas they’re not exactly what you’d call ‘high street,’ and they’re certainly not budget-friendly, unless your budget involves eating only beans on toast for two months.

Fear not though, as with a little digging we’ve found you some pretty good dupes you can snap up for a fraction of the price.

Behold…

1. This summer-ready collared look

Blue Lapel Contrast Sheer Mesh Lace Dress, SheIn, €53.55

 

2. This cobalt blue sheer-panelled number

Blue Sheer Lace Open Back Dress, SheIn, €38.85

 

3. This white peplum dress, perfect for a summer event (though maybe not if you're a wedding guest)

Lisa Dress, Cari's Closet, €130

 

4. And this stunning black number, which we're nabbing for our next night out

Ashley Dress, Cari's Closet, €120

Jeremy Kyle, bless him, has to put up with a whole load of major drama on his famously addictive morning show. 

And today was certainly no different.

In a particularly delightful segment entitled "I didn't sleep with your brother behind your dad's back," a young male guest, Jamie, complains that his glamorous stepmother, Bev, has been unfaithful.

Although Bev insists that she needs a walking stick to help her get around, Jamie's not convinced. In fact, he goes on to claim that she's something of a party animal who regularly performs a particularly sexy dance move – the 'slut drop'.

When a hapless Mr Kyle asks what a 'slut drop,' is (it's OK, Jezza, we didn't know either) his guest happily obliges with a live demonstration. 

Taking to the floor, Jamie widens his stance before squatting down to the ground and then popping back up again – much to the delight of the gathered studio spectators. 

Intrigued, Jeremy decides to give it a go himself – telling his fans that he's "never gone that low before".

The audience goes wild in response to the ITV presenter's resulting moves (we can't say we blame them) – and Twitter predictably reacted with glee too.

One fan stated: "Thought he would rip his trousers doing a slut drop. They were very hugging trousers this morning." Another called the moment "Oscar-worthy".

However, Jeremy mightn't be slut dropping again any time soon: afterwards, the 50-year-old chat show host clutched his back and complained that he thought he'd "pulled a muscle".

When the whole wide world is falling over itself to celebrate big-bummed women, it's easy to feel pretty damn miserable if you're a lady with absolutely no junk in your trunk to speak of.

Whether you're petite with a non-existent ass or tall with a bum that simply melts into your thighs, unless you have curves that Kim and Nicki would be proud of, you may as well sit this decade out.

Everyday is a long-ass day for girls like us, amirite? Here are just some of the struggles we must face….

1. You constantly question what caused this unfortunate pancake-like syndrome.
“Did I sit too much as a child? Oh.My.God. Did I bring this on MYSELF?”

 

2. You have actually lifted your ass up in front of the mirror to see what a “real bum”would look like.
“Get OUT! I'm not doing anything!”

 

3. Highwaisted jeans prove that the only curve you have from behind is the back of your skull.
“Seriously, you can't tell where my back ends and my legs start, can you?”

 

4. Butt implants, padded jeans, six pairs of knickers – you've considered it all.
“I don't care how much it costs! With an arse like that, college would pay for itself.”

 

5. Doing squats in order to GET an ass is difficult when you don't actually HAVE an ass to use.
“I AM pushing it out! I AM!”

 

6. You puzzle over the fact that you can still have cellulite on an ass that doesn't exist.
“How? How is that fair?"

 

7. You love that ONE pair of pants which make you look like you have SOMETHING going on.
“Oh, did my GIANT ASS almost knock you over? Yeah, sorry about that.”

 

8. You check out other girls' bums more than any lad you know.
“Look at it! Talk about perfectly-proportioned!”

 

9. You become paranoid that people in your lectures / on your daily commute/ or in the office refer to you simply as The Girl With No Ass.
“I just wanna be like you!”

 

10. Photo of male celebrities with perfect asses do nothing except enrage you.
“It's wasted on him! It should be mine!”

 

11. Spin classes and bike rides are nothing short of pure agony.
“It's like bone grinding on gristle, lads. Bone grinding on gristle.”

 

12. Your other half has never seen you from behind after the no-pants-dance.
“Stop! Stop! I can see where I'm going!”

 

13. You never sit on anyone's lap because why would you do that to someone?
"I like you..so that'll be a no."

After being spotted on a shoot with celeb snapper Mario Testino last month, there were rumours abound that Kendall Jenner would be appearing on the face of US Vogue's June issue.

With covers for Vogue Brazil, Vogue Japan, Vogue Paris, Vogue China and Teen Vogue under her belt, the last major hurdles left for the NYFW darling are the magazine's British and US outputs.

And while the June issue rumours don't seem to be true, Kendall does in fact appear on *a* cover in the current issue of Vogue US, which hits newsstands today. While Rihanna graces the main cover, subscribers in New York and LA were also treated to a 52-page Kendall supplement.

A woman on her bicycle and an articulated lorry collided near Ranelagh in Dublin a little after 12 noon today; the cyclist is now in at St James's Hospital with serious leg injuries. 

A large Garda presence remained for some time at the scene at Grand Parade Bridge, which was for several hours cornered off and preserved so that a technical and forensic examination could take place. The road has since been reopened to traffic.

It is believed that the 39-year-old woman was conscious when paramedics and the Dublin Fire Brigade arrived to treat her.

Her bike was completely crushed in the incident.

Although her injuries are serious, they are not thought to be life-threatening. 

An Garda Síochána this evening told SHEmazing in a statement: "Shortly after midday a female cyclist aged in her late 30s was seriously injured when she was struck by an articulated lorry at the junction of Grand Parade and Ranelagh Road. 

"The cyclist was treated at the scene by emergency services personnel and removed by ambulance to St James’s Hospital. Her injuries are understood to be serious."

Thankfully, no one else – including the driver of the lorry – was injured.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Donnybrook Garda Station 01 666 9200 or the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111.

If you were excited to see The Weeknd perform alongside Rihanna, then you're going to be sorely disappionted.

The singer has unexpectedly pulled out of the world-wide tour due to "unforeseen" circumstances.

A statement from music website Live Nation reads: "Due to some unforeseen changes with upcoming projects, The Weeknd will no longer be joining Rihanna on her upcoming international Anti World Tour."

Whatever the changes are, who knows, but they must be pretty big if he's cancelled at the last minute. What could be more important than travelling around with RiRi?!

While we all love a good video of someone falling over, this girl's epic fall in a UK nightclub this week is on another level and quickly going viral. 

Caught on CCTV at Level Nightclub in Bolton, Olivia Wood managed a mean feat in falling over drunk; she did it with grace and effortless style. 

Posted on Level's Facebook page as Fall of the Week, the footage shows Olivia trip on the stairs before turning her fall into a graceful swan dive. 

Now THAT is how it is done. 

"I was tipsy but not wasted and just misread the step situation," said Olivia to Metro. 

"My friend had just told me to 'watch the steps as they are quite steep' and I just turned and said 'I know', and then completely flew!"

And it's clear that this girl knows that if you're going to fall, you better do it with style. 

"I just remember holding my breath the whole way down and saying to the woman who helped me up 'I felt like superman then!'

"Then I just got up, laughed and went and got a well earned shot! I just have a bruised leg thankfully but I still had a great night!"

We're giving major props to Olivia today.

The English language serves its purpose pretty well most of the time, but every so often we stumble upon a Danish, French or Japanese word that just simplifies everything.

Take "the day after tomorrow," for example. If you were speaking Georgian, you'd simply call it "zeg." Or that happy half hour after a relaxing meal spent chatting round the table over your empty plates? In Spain, that's the "sobremesa."

If you're considering updating your vocab pool with a few new additions, throw away that English dictionary and look to the rest of the world for inspiration. Here are a few of our faves…

He may have solidified a solo career with the success of his debut single, Pillowtalk, but it seems that Zayn has tried to retain a connection with his former bandmates. 

However, according to the 23-year-old, they are having none of it. 

Speaking to NME magazine, Zayn sadly revealed that he only keeps in touch with one member of 1D. 

"I'm still probably the closest to Liam. We talk on the phone.

"He congratulated me on my single, which was nice. I congratulated him on his Brit Award.

"It was a good chat. We haven't met up in a long time so we want to meet up."

But things still seem to be icy between Zayn and the rest of the group; Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles. 

"I tried to have contact but nobody's reached out. So… whatever."

Things may not have cooled off between the lads after Zayn simply upped and left without warning during their 2015 tour. 

Speaking about the incident, the singer revealed he just ordered a private plane and told his team that he was out. 

"I want[ed] to go home," said the star honestly. 

"I don't know how I knew, but I just did. So I chatted with my cousin. Listened to a few songs. Just waited for my plane to come."

However, Zayn is set to take the charts by storm as his debut album, Mind of Mine, is out on Friday.

A few months ago, Nadine Coyle appeared on This Morning sporting a very orange face – and now it seems Holly Willoughby has fallen into the trap, too.

Fans were taken aback when the presenter shared a photo of her outfit on Instagram, with many commenting that Holls usually looks perfect, but this morning she needed to sack the make-up artist.

One user commented, “Someone at ITV has been heavy handed with the spray tan gun!" while another one chipped in, "What's with the orange face? Normally immaculate Holly.”

Knowing Holly though, she won't pay attention to the haters and just go on with her day. It's hard to look perfect ALL the time, right?
