Amber Rose was one of many women who stood up for former rival Kim Kardashian after the nude selfie scandal last week and it seems she is sick of double standards for women in different industries. 

Speaking at SXSW this week, the model stated that she is tired of different rules for different women. 

"It’s bullsh*t, and this is the thing. They come at me and Kim so hard because I was a stripper and she had a sex tape," said the 32-year-old. 

"So if we could sing, it would be OK if we were on stage half-naked. We all love Beyonce, but she’s on stage half-naked and twerking all the time, yet people say, oh, she has talent so she’s able to do that.

We don’t have the talent that Beyonce has, so we get criticised as former sex workers, but at the end of the day we’re just women – we’re all women – and we should all embrace each other. No one is greater. We're all the same."

The star also noted in an interview with Uproxx that she is sick of being defined by her past job as a stripper. 

"She doesn’t understand why Channing Tatum is considered a respectable actor when he’s a former stripper much like Rose," said a source. 

"She points out how everyone mentions her with 'stripper' as a prefix, but Tatum easily slid into respectability with a few semi-serious movie roles.

"I doubt Rose even minds Tatum as a person, for she’s simply weary of the double gender standards."

Love her or hate her, you have to admire her for speaking her mind.

Geordie Shore has become such a big deal over here that we almost forgot that it wouldn't even exist if it wasn't for the Jersey Shore crew. 

MTV's colossal reality show put this style of TV on the map and who can ever forget the antics of Snooki, the Situation and our fave Pauly "the caaabs are here" D. 

And while Jersey Shore has been over for years, it seems that the ever entertaining romance of the series between Sammi 'the sweatheart' Giancola and Ronnie Ortiz-Magro may have just endured.

Sam and Ron's on-off relationship on the show was notorious for its fiery arguments and making it super awkward for everyone else in the house.  

If you had forgotten how bad it used to be, here's a little reminder. 

Though the show ended in 2012, the couple remained together until their split just over a year and a half ago. 

But reports today are confirming that the pair are back on as they celebrated Sam's birthday yesterday with a close circle of friends. 

"They are seeing each other again, [but] taking it slower this time around," said a source to E! News. 

 

Such an amazing Birthday Weekend spent at my fav. Place @bouncesportingclub @thecbernard !

"They were just in Mexico together as well. They have a lot of history."

See, there's still hope for our ultimate reality show couple, Charlotte and Gaz. Get it together, you guys.

She may have only broken up with her musician boyfriend Rory Williams in the last month, but it seems that Irish presenter Laura Whitmore is in hot demand. 

After her notorious run-in with Hollywood bachelor Leonard DiCaprio at the BAFTA's, it is now rumoured that the presenter is dating former Game of Thrones actor Richard Madden. 

Rich played Robb Stark in the popular HBO series until his character was killed off in the third season but went on to star as Prince Charming in the hotly anticpated live-action remake of Cinderella last year. 

According to the Sun, the pair were introduced through mutual pal and fellow GOT actor, Kit Harrington.

"Laura knows the Game of Thrones cast well, especially Kit, and got to know Richard through those connections," said a source to the paper. 

"She has been telling friends she is excited by the new romance. It’s still early days but it is already clear they really like each other."

"Richard immediately felt a connection and thinks this could go somewhere. There’s real chemistry between them."

"He has done much of the wooing but they’re both very keen."

Meanwhile, Laura also had the exact same reaction we would have had meeting one her fave 90s girl groups, Irish girlband B*Witched. 

And that reaction is to bother them for loads of selfies and also try to convince them to let her join the band.

The Bray presenter turned up at the gig in Sink the Pink club in London last night and it's safe to say she was very excited to meet the gals after the show.

It seems that Taylor Swift has been trumped in the social media stakes and by a member of her own squad no less. 

That's gotta hurt. 

Yep, pop star and Taylor's BFF Selena Gomez has just pipped Tay to the post this week by stealing her crown of the most-followed person on Instagram.

While Taylor is sitting pretty at 69.2 million followers, Selena just edged up to 69.5 at the time of writing making her the most popular person on the photo-sharing app. 

And we can't say we are super surprised. 

Taylor may have to a large fan-base, but the Hands to Myself singer is much more active on the platform consistently posting a hearty mix of personal and work photos as well as her amazing style. 

Despite winning the social media stakes, Selena has admitted in a recent radio interview that she would love to do a proper collaboration with her pal. 

"The opportunity has always been there and I think she is one of the most talented songwriters I have ever met. I don't know – I would want it to be a moment but we'll see." 

Meanwhile other Instagram queens such as Kim Kardashian remain well behind on 63.6 million followers while sister Kylie is on a respectable 54.3.

Kim Kardashian caused total uproar on social media last week after the reality star posted a naked pic to Instagram.

And young actress Chloe Moretz felt the full wrath of Kim and her supporters after the reality star called her out for urging Kim to be a better role model. 

"Let's all welcome Chloe G Moretz to Twitter, since no one knows who she is. your Nylon cover is cute boo," read the stinging tweet. 

But it seems that after all the dust has settled, Chloe has decided to speak about the incident. 

"All I'll say is that I think a lot of things can be misconstrued in a lot of ways," said the 19-year-old to Elle. 

"I think if people looked into something bigger that I was trying to speak upon, they wouldn't be so easy to fire back silly, miscellaneous things."

Kim mentioned Chloe's Nylon cover in her tweet, alluding to the fact that the young actress was also almost nude in the shot save for a strategically placed coat. 

"I mean, I think that's also a lot more based on artwork, so that's a little bit of a different conversation," said Chloe, defending the cover.  

"Like, if I'm talking to a photographer, I'm talking to a stylist, I'm talking to a makeup artist, we're kind of creating and collaborating and making something that is artwork and is special and is different.

"Yeah, it's representing myself, but it's also not representing myself, because it's a character piece. So, I think that is a big difference.

"On social media, like on Instagram and stuff that I post, and the way that I view myself, and portray myself on there, that's definitely a much more personalised take. 

"I'm not collaborating with people to make that, it's my own social media platform in which I'm–it's not a character, it's just me." 

Hmmmm. 

The Neighbours 2 star went on to give her own advice to young fans. 

"Depict yourself adequately as what you want to be seen as. Don't front, don't put something out there that you feel isn't realistic and doesn't portray who you are.

"Just be yourself, be you, and don't be afraid to speak your mind."

Talk about dreams come true. 

The Princess Diaries only had two instalments which in our opinion is not nearly enough, 

And it seems that Hollywood agrees with us because news has just broke of a final film to complete the popular trilogy. 

Director Garry Marshall spilled the beans while out on a press stint for his latest flick, Mother's Day. 

"I was with Anne Hathaway a couple weeks ago, it looks like we want to do Princess Diaries 3 in Manhattan," said the director of the original films. 

"Anne is very pregnant, so we have to wait until she has the baby and then I think we're going to do it."

That's good enough for us! 

The director even hinted at the return of another star, Chris Pine, who appeared in the second film. 

"Maybe… He's quite big now, you know.

"[But] Chris Pine likes me, you know why? Because his father is in Mother's Day!"

Ooh, what a fortunate coincidence… 

And the question on everyone's lips: what about Julie Andrews? No word as of yet but lets just say watch this space…

Ever watch that show on Discovery Channel, How it's made? Well, we did. And everything that was on the show suddenly became super interesting.

Well, one thing that we never came across was how wigs are made – and this video totally nails the intrigue.

How wigs are made

Making wigs is way more intense than you realized.

Posted by INSIDER on Friday, 11 March 2016

Moving faster than the speed of light, a wigmaker has to go through many steps for the outcome to be perfect.

Now, sit back with that glass of Chardonnay and enjoy. It'll mesmerise you.

We all obsessed over Laguna Beach as teenagers, probably because it was our first taste of a reality show.

And let's be honest, we totally fancied 99 percent of the lads on the show, too. But wait until you see the LG boys now.

Stephen Colletti (swoon), Trey Phillips and Dieter Schmitz all met up over the weekend to celebrate Trey's 30th birthday (30, we know, feeling old).

“Human gem. Happy Birthday, Trey,” Kristin Cavallari’s former boyfriend/Lauren Conrad’s BFF captioned the Instagram snap.

As well as Stephen, Trey shared a few photos of the special occasion, and boy, we wish they were all back on our TV screens.

“What a beautiful day in New York to spend with old friends,” the birthday boy said on social media.

All we're waiting for now is a full cast reunion. But, there has been so much drama since the show ended that we doubt a full reunion is going to happen anytime soon. Sob.

We all remember when Giuliana Rancic found herself in extremely hot water last year for saying Zendaya's hair looked like it "smells like patchouli and weed."

But now, another celeb has found the time to criticise Zendaya even more – and we just don't know what she was even thinking.

Julie Klausner, an author and comedy writer, voiced her views on Twitter, saying that Zendaya is under-weight and a bad influence:

And as Zendaya's fans started the backlash, Julie tried to say that she doesn't care about Zendaya and only wants younger generations to be healthy:

But Zendaya had a super sassy comeback, and wasn't even bothered to lecture Julie on her views. She just played it cool and chill, but with a little threat to not mess with her again:

Go Zendaya, you slaaaay.

We didn't quite know what to make of Tayto Park when it first opened its doors back in 2010, but it's since grown to be a pretty exciting attraction.

What started as a small Tayto-themed adventure park in Ashbourne, Co Meath has grown into an expansive theme park housing Europe's largest wooden rollercoaster, The Cú Chullainn, a massive 30m high construction, which had its 'maiden voyage' last summer.

Now Tayto Park is back for 2016 – it re-opens this Friday March 18 – and it has a whole host of new attractions that have us thinking we're going to need to find an excuse to get out to Ashbourne very soon indeed. Though we may need to kidnap our nieces and nephews for the day first,

First up is the park's new Ferris Wheel, plus a "vintage style" carousel and the Rockin' Tug; a boat ride allowing you to "experience the motions of being in the deep blue sea from the very different surroundings of Ashbourne, Co. Meath." Nice.

That's in addition to Tayto Park's current Adventure Zone which features a climbing wall, zip-lining area, the eye-wateringly high Sky Walk bridge, and the stomach-churning rotator and air race rides.

The park's animatronic Dinosaurs Alive experience is also expanding to include Ice Valley, including life-size Ice Age mammals like mammoths, cave bears, saber-toothed cats and giant Irish deer.

If you're heading to Tayto Park on Easter Sunday, kids can sign up for the annual Easter Scavenger Hunt, and Mr. Tayto will be making his usual appearances each day.

More information on opening times and ticket prices can be found on the Tayto Park website here.

Kanye West, the king of Twitter rants, has agreed to join Instagram – but he has one strict condition for his fans, friends and family.

While going on another ramble on social media, the rapper said he was thinking about downloading the photo-sharing app but made it clear that no one can ask him to post anything or tell him what to do.

"No one can ask me or try to tell me what to Instagram… It's my art," he wrote.

"My tweets are a form of contemporary art only compromised by people trying to tell me what to tweet and not to tweet…

"Non artist trying to grab the paint brush…"

We bet his social media savvy wife won't be too happy about that, but sure they seem to be following in each other's footsteps lately so it'll be interesting to see what will happen.
