David Beckham is the ultimate doting dad and we just can't get enough. 

The footballer shared a photo of his daughter Harper on Instagram where she is seen sporting a Manchester United kit.

Standing on her tippy toes, brushing her teeth, David captioned the photo: Teeth time a few hours ago and I walked in to the tippy toes and the United strip plus a perfect plait does that get any cuter."

No, David, it doesn't get much cuter than that. 

David recently came clean on why Victoria wants Harper to follow in her daddy's footsteps.

"I think Victoria's had 16 years of sitting on cold Sunday mornings on the sidelines, watching the boys. She'd like to sit indoors and watch Harper either play tennis or ballet or tap.

"But if ever Harper does want to go and play football, Victoria will support her."

They've been up and down, together and broken up, and honestly, we just can't keep up.

Steph and Jeremy's CBB housemate Scotty T has reportedly spilled the beans that Jez slept with another woman while he was in a relationship with Stephanie.

The newly-blonde then text the girl in question, Caroline Pope, and asked her out-straight if she did the dirty deed with her boyfriend.

Steph took a screenshot of the messages and then posted them on Twitter, before deleting them a while later.

In a string of texts, Steph said: "Is it true u slept with Jeremy, don't lie to me as Scott just said you did."

After the actress sent her more messages, Caroline finally replied and said: "Girl to girl yes I did."

Then Steph uploaded the snapshot on Twitter with the caption: "Yeah true. Girl to girl lol. Both vile. And liars. Sorry for hoping on true love. I'll never love anyone again."

Scott later took to social media to clear up what he said: "Just for the record that's not what was said..that has been fabricated to the max, I have no reason to drop people innit!! #betterthingstodo.

"I did not say that Jeremy cheated, he wasn't in a relationship at that point any way! But it's not true ano for a fact he loved her #jefanie."

Since the news broke that a remake of Baywatch was going to hit our screens, people began to wonder whether David Hasselhoff would make an appearance.

Well you can stop wondering, because it has been confirmed that the Hoff is going back onto the golden shores.

Dwayne Johnson, who is the lead in the new movie, took to his Facebook page to announce the news and spoke to David via videocall.

In the conversation, the Hoff said he was "born ready" to join the movie and he was going to "Rock and Hoff."

We doubt David is going to be prancing around with Dwayne and Zac Efron, but then again, you never know what will come out of this movie.

They've tried to keep their relationship as discreet as possible following the siting of them together after the Golden Globe awards, but we're afraid they can't keep it a secret any longer.

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom seem to have 'confirmed' their relationship as they put on the most affectionate display while in Hawaii.

And it seems that Orlando is totally smitten as he couldn't keep his eyes off Katy as they took a walk with friends.

We have to say, even though neither party has confirmed the relationship, it's pretty clear from these pictures that they're a very loved up pair. And how better looking can a couple get?!

Dirty Dancing is a total classic and never fails to give us all the feels whenever we watch it. 

Which is a LOT. 

So when we heard that they were doing a US TV remake, we were a little sceptical even though we knew we would totally be glued to our screens. 

And now it has been revealed that one of our fave actresses, Sarah Hyland, has joined the cast which already features Nicole Scherzinger and Abigail Breslin in the lead role as Baby. 

The Modern Family actress is believed to have landed the role of Baby's older sister, Lisa, which means she may not be up to too much dirty dance-moves in the film. 

ABC is preparing to make a three hour adaptation of the original classic and with the original screenwriter on board, we have hopes that it won't be absolutely terrible. 

There is still no word on who is going to take Patrick Swayze's role in the reboot and well, let's just say whoever he is, he has VERY big shoes to fill.

We know that Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis are very private so it is always a treat when they open up about their home lives. 

Speaking to Ellen DeGeneres, the 38-year-old  revealed just how scary it is to parent a high-energy toddler. 

"She tried to kill herself on a regular basis," the actor joked.

"Like, she doesn't realise that's a cliff and could be dangerous. She'll just jump off the thing. She doesn't know yet. You would think that they would come with instincts around fire and large falls, and they don't."

He also revealed how challenging it was to organise his low-key wedding to Mila without the media finding out. 

"We really didn't want helicopters at our wedding and it's a legitimate concern.

"So, I was posting things on social media that were in different locations to avoid the helicopters because we didn't want to be, like, screaming our vows at each other."

And they managed to succeed. 

Watch the interview below:

While we are thankful that denim never really goes out of fashion, we were not expecting this beloved fabric to become party of our beauty regime too. 

Yep, this summer we very well may be whipping out denim hues as blue becomes the colour of the season. 

So-called 'denim hair' or 'jair' is currently trending across social media as girls attempt to match up their hair tone to their jeans.

No really. 

Having been sported previously by brave celebs such as Nicole Richie and Hilary Duff, the soft blue hues are actually quite wearable when applied softly to the hair. 

Could you pull it off?

Forget the Oscars, this is one awards show we know we'd REALLY be able to enjoy.

For the last 22 years, the Irish Food Writers' Guild has celebrated the very best of Irish food and native suppliers with their annual awards. This year's event took place at Dublin's Restaurant Patrick Guilbaud, where chefs put together a very special menu for attendees based on the produce of the five main winners.

Unsurprisingly, the whole thing was a slice of foodie paradise from start to finish.

First up was a salad of Silver Darlings Irish herring, potato, green leek purée and toasted buckwheat:

Followed by a main of grilled Irish Hereford sirloin, Brandy Bay Oyster cream and White Gypsy Russian Imperial Stout:

After all that meat, palattes were refreshed with a Mossfield Organic Farm milk pudding and Wild Irish Foragers spring nettle syrup:

And to finish, Riot Rye Bakehouse Borodinsky sourdough ice-cream with chocolate ganache and malt bread tuile (plus a snifter of Highbank Orchards Organic Irish Orchard Liqueur):

WHEW!

If you're not drooling over your keyboard right now then you might as well live on Big Macs for the rest of your life and call it a day.

No can do it quite like Britney Spears. 

From that iconic red catsuit to her VMA's performance with the snake, Brit is a total pop icon and we can't wait to hear what new music she has coming our way. 

And according to the 34-year-old, her new album is going to be her best ever. 

"I'm proud of the work, and it's very different; it's not what you would think at all," she said to V Magazine. 

"But I'm not rushing anything. I just want it to be done right, so that my fans will truly appreciate it."

Britney is slaying three covers of V mag this month as she chats about her new music and 20 years in the spotlight. 

The mother-of-two, who is enjoying a successful Las Vegas residency, looks almost unrecognisable as she posed for the sexy snaps, topped off with a gratuitous portion of abs from a faceless male model. 

Despite songs about public scrutiny such as Piece of Me, the singer revealed that the media simply doesn't get to her anymore. 

"Whoever is in the spotlight, people are really quick to judge. I mean, there are a lot of kids coming up who've experienced that. You know, Justin Bieber, he's huge, and he experiences that. It's just the way the world works, unfortunately.

"I've been doing this for 20 years. I kind of don't pay attention to it. I have my relationship with God and myself and that's what matters to me. I really don't care what most people think."

We reckon she's still got it.

Mother's Day is fast approaching, so before you have a meltdown on Saturday evening and panic-buy seven Terry's Chocolate Oranges and a bunch of roses, take a few moments to check out our gift guide.

We've rounded up our fave mum-appropriate pressies for 2016 – things your mum will actually use rather than just relegating to the back of the bathroom cupboard. Promise!

Here goes…

1. A relaxed evening in
Wine, truffles and natural soy candles… talk about luxury. We love this Hampers & Co gift set – find other varieties on their site too, and use the code MUM16 for a 15% discount.

Candle Light Evenings Set, €44, Hampers & Co

 

2. The perfect night cream
If your mum has sensitive skin or hates overloading with heavily scented products, treat her to some TLC with La Roche Posay's repairing and soothing night cream, Toleraine Ultra Overnight. The Toleraine range is specifically designed for skin that gets dry and tight.

La Roche Posay Toleraine Ultra Overnight, €18.50, pharmacies nationwide

 

3. Brilliant basics
It might be springtime, but the weather is as wintry as ever, so keep your mum's skin protected from the harsh cold with a Vitamin E boost from The Body Shop. We LOVE the presentation of this simple but spot-on gift set.

Vitamin E Gift Set, €37, The Body Shop

 

4. A cuppa with a difference
If your mum has a sweet tooth, get her something different than the usual box of chocolates. This Love Bug hot chocolate gift set comes with a teeny grater (for grating chocolate on top, doncha know) and a whisk for frothing. Pair this with a luxury bar of dark chocolate and you're good to go.

Teatime Gift Set, €5.49, Aldi

 

5. Some arm candy
Jewellery can be a risky gift for mums unless you REALLY know her taste. So keep things safe with this Mother's Day offering from Swatch, which is a twist on the traditional 'flowers for mum' gift idea. Rather than a bouquet, present your mum with this pink Swatch featuring a beautiful rose on the silver dial.

Swatch Only For You Mother's Day Watch, €75, Swatch stores (Grafton St, Arnotts, Dublin Airport)

 

6. An all over body treatment
While face moisturisers are always packed with top-end ingredients, body creams can sometimes fall short of the mark. That's why we love Vichy's Ideal Body range, full of active ingredients traditionally used in face care, such as hyaluronic acid and a host of luxurious oils. The result? Firmer, smoother and more radiant skin.

Vichy Ideal Body Balm, €22, pharmacies nationwide

 

7. A touch of sparkle
We love the simple, classic lines of this Newbridge Silverware tealight holder, perfect for cosy evenings by the fire, or even a relaxing candlelit bath.

Tealight Holder (includes three tealights), €45, Newbridge Silverware

 

8. An uber-glam wallet
This J By Jasper Conran pink and cream wallet is the ultimate spring accessory – if you can bear to give it away!

J by Jasper Conran Purse, €33.50, Debenhams

Leggings, a crop top and a silk bomber – yep, it's pretty much the unofficial uniform of the Insta-supermodel pack.

While Kendall Jenner (and her little sis Kylie) rock a black bomber very well, it's NYFW fave Gigi Hadid who wins out. Never has the relaxed 'I'm just off to spin class' look been pulled off with such style and confidence.

Sadly, Gigi's Saint Laurent bomber will set you back over €2,000, but you don't need a supermodel budget to imitate her style.

Our fave high street and online retailers have some seriously sweet bomber offerings for SS16 that won't see you dropping two months salary in one go…

1. The khaki one

Kendall Bomber Jacket, €40, Dresses.ie

 

2. The sporty one

Katie Sport Stripe MA1 Bomber, €27, Boohoo.com

 

3. The neutral one

Tan Faux Suede Bomber Jacket, €75, River Island

 

4. The 'dress it up or down' one

Floral Embroidered Bomber Jacket, €69.95, Zara

 

5. The classic

Navy Padded Double Pocket Bomber Jacket, €44.99, New Look

We got the impression that Scotty T was not the biggest fan of Jephanie while in the Celebrity Big Brother house, but he really exposed the couple in a recent interview. 

The Georgie Shore lothario revealed that he knew that Jeremy McConnell cheated on Stephanie Davis as soon as he left the CBB house. 

"To be honest, I think it’s quite funny," said Scotty to the Sun. 

"I see them doing this whole love thing, but then I hear he’s off sh*gging girls. I mean he sh*gged one of my mates, she’s called Caroline Pope.”

"He shagged her as soon as he got out of Big Brother. He met her in Newcastle. I think it’s pretty hilarious how they’re going on about this relationship and then all they’re doing is arguing. I just laugh."

The Irish model has already denied rumours that he had cheated on Stephanie with the 19-year-old model the night before the final, a stance that he has reiterated in a tweet today. 

The winner of this year's CBB also has little hope for the relationship lasting very long but wishes them well. 

"Good luck to them like, but I did say from the start I wouldn’t really like to get in a relationship with a girl who cheated on her boyfriend to get with him anyway.

“If she’s done it once she can do it again.

“It’s not what I call a healthy romance. But if they’re happy, they’re happy.”

Steph and Jez put up a total display of love in an appearance on Loose Women last week.
