Khloe Kardashian has lashed out at a fan who commented on Good American factory. 

The reality TV star took her Snapchat followers on a virtual tour of the LA-based facility, showing the various methods used in the production of her new denim line.

The star was accompanied by a full camera crew, despite filming for Keeping up with the Kardashians being postponed until after the new year. 

One fan took to Twtter after watching the videos to say: "By the looks of @khloekardashian Snapchat, she's got a sweat shop working on her jeans."

Khloe quickly clapped back, saying "watch your mouth" after the accusation was made.

"It means a lot to me to fight to make my denim in the US and to be employing good wages to all of my hardworking employees!" she said in another tweet. 

The fan has since been bombarded with tweets from other users accusing her of jealously. She later apologised to the star via social media. 

Others were also quick to defend the reality TV star, saying: "This doesn't look like a sweatshop. It looks like a textile factory. That's what it looks like when people make your clothing. Stop being ignorant."

The reality star launched her Good American denim line last month, and just like little sister Kylie's lip kits, they've been flying off the shelves.

Nothing – and we mean NOTHING – beats the wonderfulness of a tasty, crunchy crisp sandwich.

Whether you're more of a salt and vinegar gal or like to keep things traditional with cheese and onion, most would agree that it is the kind of comfort food that we simply couldn't live without, especially if it's made with an aul bag of Tayto.

And this year, you can eat your sambo in peace – without feeling like you are abandoning your diet – BECAUSE you will be doing it for a good cause.

Yup, Tayto will donate €1 from every €3 sandwich sold in the Tayto Crispmas Workshop to LauraLynn Children’s Hospice from December 1 –  24.

Their announcement is part of LauraLynn being the first dedicated Arnotts Charity of the Year; the department store is committed to raising €25,000 for the charity and supporting their initiatives in various ways over the next year. 

 

Spotted at what have been the crispiest wedding of the year!

The Pop Up Crispmas Workshop is located in the iconic Arnotts Christmas windows on Henry Street and Arnotts Festive Flavours Market in the Lower Basement.

The window design has been inspired by Santa’s workshop in the North Pole and has been custom furnished and decorated to Mr. Tayto’s high standard.

OK, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom are either engaged or are playing a huge joke on us, because… well, LOOK at the size of that ring!

The pair have been together since the beginning of the year and stepped out in New York together on Monday night.

Not only did Katy have a massive smile on her face, but she was rocking a huge diamond ring on her wedding finger.

And eyewitness told ET: "She walked with her left hand leading her, and bent her hand to show off the large sparkler to the cameras.

Whether it's a big joke on us, we don't know, but they do look happy together.

It seems like everyone is obsessed with lip fillers these days, and even the most seasoned of celebs aren't immune to the trend.

Nicole Sherzinger has come under online scrutiny over her allegedly inflated lips. 

The stunning 38-year-old singer has always had a full pout, but fans are speculating whether the star has gone too far with the filler needle.

The X Factor judge recently posed for a new Instagram selfie showcasing a very plump pout, and fans were quick to point out her new look. 

"Please say no to botox and upper lip stretching…you're perfect the way you are," said one.

"You're so pretty please slow down on the fillers," commented another.

Others were quick to defend Nicole, saying they liked her new look and lipstick colour and that the plumper pout was "pretty."

Another suggested that the ex-Pussycat Doll could just be experimenting with over-lining her lips like the Kardashian-Jenners.

"From 1pm tomorrow (November 30) we're celebrating Pitt Bros new location on Millennium Walkway with FREE BBQ for all! 

"We won't stop until the meat runs out."

Well, that's a good promise.

If we were you, we'd be quick, because that tasty grub is going to run out fast.

He's a pro skateboarder, a model and a photographer, but then again, his parents are one of the most famous couples in the world.

Huge congratulations are in order today for Amanda Seyfried and Thomas Sadoski who are expecting their first child.

The actress didn’t so much announce the news but instead decided to show off her baby bump in a fitted dress at a press launch for Givenchy’s new fragrance.

The 30-year-old actress looked stunning in a black mini dress but it was by far her tiny bump that was the focus of everyone’s attention.

Amanda and Thomas met on the set of their off-Broadway show The Way We Get By last year and confirmed in September that they were engaged.

Congratulations to the pair on an amazing 2016 and hopefully we'll get to enjoy some more of what is sure to be amazing maternity style from the ever-fashionable, Amanda.

It's safe to say we all want to feel like Beyonce every single day. It just seems like she can get way more things done in a day than any of us can… amirite?

So, you'll be delighted to know that you can look a little like Queen Bey on Christmas day this year.

The singer has just debuted her new festive hoodie which reads "I SLEIGH ALL DAY."

The loved-up duo, who first met on the reality TV talent show when Liam was just 14, were today attending a Christmas fair in the centre of the English capital.

The pop-star, who recently divorced second husband Jean Bernard Versini Fernandez, wore a tight green wool dress with black boots for the occasion. 

However, and despite Cheryl's appearance, Mail Online reports that a spokesperson for the Newcastle native refused to confirm her pregnancy.

She was married to her first husband, footballer Ashley Cole, until 2010.

Liam, 23, and Cheryl began dating late last year – although it was the spring until their relationship was social media official.
