To coincide with all the excitement of the Grammys, Jimmy Kimmel decided to release the latest edition of Mean Tweets including all of our favourite musical stars. 

From Megan Trainor to the Killers, literally no one was spared from the wrath of angry Twitter trolls in the latest instalment. 

Yep, Jimmy's infamous television segment is always a hit as top celebrities are encouraged to sit down and read out the horrible things people say about them across the internet. 

And as you an guess, no one holds back. 

While Rita Ora is told that she dresses like a "big of d*cks" and Drake is told he looks like a "ferret with a baby afro" , we reckon this might actually be the meanest bunch of tweets yet. 

Watch the hilarious video below:

From audio fails and slaying speeches to last minute cancellations, the Grammy Awards certainly did not fail to deliver in the entertainment stakes last night. 

Topping headlines this morning was Taylor Swift who not only made history by being the first woman to win Album of the Year twice at the prestigious awards ceremony but also for taking the time to slam Kanye in her acceptance speech. 

Last week Kanye debuted a song at his fashion showcase in New York which included the lyrics: "I made that bitch famous" in reference to Tay. 

Taking to the stage with a new cropped hairstyle, Taylor, who had remained quiet on social media since the incident, was quick to defend herself. 

"I want to say to all the young women out there – there are going to be people along the way who are going to try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame."

Yas, queen!

Another young female singer who was expected to steal the show was Adele, but after suffering from audio and pitch problems during her performance of All I Ask, fans were left wanting.

Adele took to Twitter to explain the issues: "The piano mics fell on to the piano strings, that's what the guitar sound was. It made it sound out of tune. Shit happens."

While Rihanna had to cancel a performance of her new material due to an infection, Lady Gaga took to the stage channelling the late David Bowie as she donned a sparkly catsuit and bright orange hair. 

Adopting Bowie's infamous Ziggy Stardust persona, the You and I singer bashed out a medley of the late singer's greatest hits including Heroes, Space Oddity and Let's Dance. 

However, the performance is garnering a certain amount of criticism with fans saying she was trying "too hard" while David Bowie's own son Duncan Jones seemed to tweet a comment that was thinly veiled with sarcasm. 

In the awards stakes, Ed Sheeran has something to cheer about as he won his first Grammy for the song Thinking Out Loud. 

Justin Bieber also took home his first award while Kendrick Lamar swept away the competition taking home a total of five awards on the big night. Marc Ronsen and Bruno Mars also had a rather successful evening as Uptown Funk swept up two gongs including Record of the Year.

It's still a few months until season four of Orange Is The New Black hits Netflix – four months and two days to be exact – but if you're a fan, this might just speed up the wait a bit for you.

Netflix have released an epic compilation of the best behind-the-scenes bloopers from season three, and it's full of clangers that will have you giggling like a loon.

That feeling when you get so giddy that anything anyone says makes you laugh? Yeah, the OITNB cast have that Every. Damn. Day.

Watch below, and prepare to get a fit of chuckles watching Red trying – and failing – to master the line, "I'm back, b*tch."

Last week's Luas strikes caused havoc for thousands of Dublin commuters, as people struggled to get to work and home with one of the city's major transport links cut off.

Now, Luas drivers have threatened two more strike days in March – and that's on top of the additional strikes planned for this Thursday February 18 and Friday February 19.

Yep, you might want to make alternative arrangements for travel on Tuesday March 8 and St Patrick's Day, Thursday March 17.

While March 17 is a bank holiday, it is one of Dublin's busiest days of the year for public transport, as tourists flood the city and residents leave their cars behind to avoid traffic during the annual Patrick's Day parade.

The ongoing dispute is the result of calls by Luas staff for improved working conditions, with some staff members calling for pay rises of up to 53 per cent.

An estimated 90,000 commuters were disrupted by last week's strikes, with this Hailo video showing just how many people had to turn to taxis and other budget-busting methods of transport to get to work:

Other people chose to walk along the tracks:

And some resorted to battling their way onto overcrowded buses during peak hours:

Here's hoping this dispute gets resolved sooner rather than later.

Fans of Irish TV chef Donal Skehan will know his Howth home, which he shares with wife Sofie, very well.

It has featured in his RTÉ cookery shows – Kitchen Hero and Cook, Eat, Burn – as well as providing the backdrop for many of his recipe photos. All in all, it's been Donal and Sofie's home for six years, but now the couple are leaving it, and Ireland, behind.

A move to Los Angeles to further his career as a celebrity chef has long been on the cards for Donal, and with a new Food Network series underway, it seems now is the right time to relocate.

"We’ve done some amazing things in Ireland and now it’s time to do what we do to a wider audience. We’ve a few friends and my uncle lives out there so it won’t be too lonely," he told The Herald last month.

Taking to Instagram this morning, Donal penned an emotional goodbye to his Howth cottage, reliving some of the couple's memories there.

"We said our goodbyes yesterday to the house which was our first home, the place all my shows were shot, the place we worked from, where our neighbours were never short of a big hello," Donal wrote next to a picture of himself and a smiling Sofie at their front door.

"[The house was] where Max came home to for the first time, where we first came home to as a married couple, where we grew veggies out the back all summer long, where the best cliff walks started and finished and where we cooked some of the best dinners and enjoyed the best nights in with friends and family, celebrating birthdays, engagements, babies, anniversaries and more.

"A huge thank you to everyone who crossed the threshold and enjoyed the place as much as we did, for now though it's goodbye to our little Howth home…"

Wishing Donal and Sofie the best of luck with their big move.

The wives and girlfriends of our proud nation's rugby stars – both past and present – are generally a likeable bunch of lassies.

Amy Huberman [Brian O'Driscoll] is a writer and actor of considerable note; Aoife Cogan [Gordan D'Arcy] runs her own Pilates business; Lucy Whitehouse [Tommy Bowe] is a nurse, and Sinead Corcoran [Jack McGrath] is a radiographer. Not to mention that a host of others are also studying at third level. 

Now, if rumour is to be believed, a certain 21-year-old Shuana Lindsay has been thrown into this rather impressive mix.

Yes, Munster scrum-half Conor Murray, 26, is allegedly calling Ms Lindsay his girlfriend – so we thought we'd check her out with a good old social media stalk.

And it seems that the stunning Co Clare woman is one serious hottie: a model and reigning Miss Limerick who finished as first runner-up in the recent Miss Universe Ireland competition. 

Dating for around four months, the Sunday Independent reports that the sportsman spotted Shuana "across a packed nightclub and decided the beautiful brunette was the one for him".

Another source told the same publication: "She is a really beautiful girl who is extremely down to earth and he seems to be pretty keen. They are getting on famously and things are going strong.

 "They have been trying to keep it on the down low but, yes, things are going very well."

Since sitting her Leaving Cert in 2012, Shuana has gradually built up a celebrated social media presence – and she now posts a serious amount of eye-catching snaps to her Instagram page. 

It's probably too early to be talking beautiful Lindsay-Murray babies (sorry – we're getting carried away) but at the very least, here's to hoping that the duo will become a regular sight on the Irish social scene.

Indeed, a source told Goss.ie that the gym-loving model, who is represented by the Andrea Roche agency in Dublin as well as the Holman Lee agency in Limerick, is eyeing a move to Dublin in the very near future. 

"She really wants to make this year about her career," the insider revealed.

"Obviously moving to Dublin means being closer to Conor so that was definitely apart of the decision," they added.

"They are getting on great together."

Shauna's Facebook page previously caught the attention of Conor's teammate, Simon Zebo, and she furthermore boasts notorious lothario Calum Best as a Facebook friend.

The BAFTAs often happen to fall around mid-February, and for the first time in a while this year, they took place on Valentine's Day itself, February 14.

Host Stephen Fry paid homage to many of the "gifts" the US has given this side of the world ("foam fingers… leaf blowers…. syrup on bacon"), before introducing the audience to the first ever BAFTA Kiss Cam – and using it to catch out a few unsuspecting celebs.

After Stanley Tucci planted an absolute smacker on Cuba Gooding Jr's cheek, the cameras turned to Leonardo DiCaprio and the inimitable Dame Maggie Smith.

What followed was one of the most adorable award show moments we've seen so far this year, as Leo leaned in to give a surprised (and totally chuffed) Maggie a big smooch:

Amazing. Maggie even returned the favour by turning around to hug Leo after his inpromptu kiss.

While most of the guests played along with the fun – Bryan Cranson and Julianne Moore went for a full on French kiss – two people who weren't into kissing on camera were real-life couple Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander.

The pair, who've been together since last year, looked downright awkward as the cameras panned to them, choosing instead to stare straight ahead rather than look at each other.

Maybe next time…?!

Long known for her Rapunzel-like blonde tresses, Rosanna Davison took everyone by surprise three weeks ago when unveiled her brand new look: significantly shorter hair sliced up to her shoulders.

"Chop chop!! Thanks to @ceiralambert for the new hairdo," she told her 107,000 Instagram fans late last month while also sharing a snap of her gorgeous gruaige. 

"Still have my @goldfeverhair in for volume but nice to have a change."

Suffice to say that here at SHEmazing Towers, we are BIG fans of the former Miss World's revised hair-do. In fact, we dare say she's never looked better.

We're not the only ones either, for it now transpires that a host of big names are eagerly following in nutritionist Rosie's stylish footsteps. 

First out of the traps was model Holly Carpenter. "Bit of a change for the weekend," she revealed less than a week after Ms Davison took the plunge.

"Got my @goldfeverhair out and a bit of a chop (my own hair has grown so much while my last set were in)."

Then late last week, Irish hairdresser to the stars, Maurice Flynn, shared a snap of Georgia Penna on his Instagram page.

 

Gave @georgiapenna a good chop. I love this length on her! What a babe

A photo posted by Maurice Flynn (@mauriceflynn) on

The model and recent mother-of-two looked seriously amazing with her formerly long locks cut up to just below her shoulders. "I love this length on her," Mr Flynn declared. "What a babe."

Meanwhile, over the weekend Michele McGrath, also a model, showed off her short and sexy style. "Thanks for my new bob @ceiralambert," she declared. "Love it." 

It remains to be seen who the next starlet to embrace a shorter style will be – though we reckon that one-time Miss Universe Ireland Roz Purcell would look all sorts of fabulous with a bob.

And regardless of who goes for the chop next – it's definitely official: the 'Rosanna' is the hottest hair trend going right now.

Tyra Banks gave her fans a huge surprise last month when she revealed that she had welcomed her first son with boyfriend Erik Asla – and now she's finally shared a photo of her new arrival.

The former model recently opened up on her chat show FABLife about her struggle to conceive naturally, but revealed in late January that she and Erik had turned to a surrogate.

Tyra told fans that the couple's son York was "the best present," adding that the pair had "worked and prayed so hard for" his safe arrival. 

"This is the happiest Valentine's Day of my life," the America's Next Top Model host wrote last night alongside a breathtaking snap of herself and her little man.

"York, Daddy@erikasla and I send you so much love."

Speaking about her fertility problems last year, the 42-year-old said it had been a tough journey for herself and Erik.

"I've had some not-happy moments with that, very traumatic moments," she admitted to her co-host Chrissy Teigen, who is expecting her first child soon. 

"It's difficult as you get older. It's not something that can just happen."

He's the king of the chat show; the guy who's on first-name terms with just about every A-lister going. 

And yesterday Corkonian Graham Norton sent the internet wild with a snap posted from New York, where he is currently enjoying some down-time. 

 

@giopionyc I said yes! #Valentine's #newyork…. to another drink! Calm down peeps!!

A photo posted by grahnort (@grahnort) on

Sharing a loved-up Valentine's Day snap, the presenter is seen with his arms wrapped warmly around handsome lawyer, George Sapio.

With the accompanying caption declaring 'I said yes!' along with the inclusion of an engagement ring emoji fans were quick to offer congratulations to the 52-year-old.

However, on further inspection, it seems that Graham was merely enjoying a spot of light-hearted banter: asking everyone to "calm down," he subsequently declared that he had only agreed to another drink… rather than a proposal of marriage.

Nevertheless, several folk were caught up in the moment, with one fan on Instagram declaring: "Ahhhh graham is engaged!!" And another excited individual said: "Omg!!! Congrats!!!!!!!!!!! So happy for you two! Love, love your show!" 

Others excitedly shared chapel, wedding, and celebration emojis in response. 

Late last year it was reported that Graham had split from his boyfriend, music marketing consultant Andrew Smith. It is believed that Mr Norton is currently single.

It's not just a dream, people… it's actually happening. 

Since hearing earlier this month that Dublin would soon be home to its own Cadbury Creme Egg Café, we've been positively quaking with excitement. Now, with just 24 hours to go until opening day, the first photo has emerged – and it looks A1.

Twitter user Alan Kinsella spotted the café – not that you could easily miss it – this morning, and posted this snap:

It definitely looks a little smaller than London's three-floor offering, which comes complete with a ball-pit in the basement, but we all know the chocolatey goodness being served up is the most important part.

Tickets for the Dublin café, which is open until Saturday February 20, have already sold-out, but there are a "limited" number of walk-ins available so you could of course try your luck.

As tickets were free, it's likely people may drop out at the last minute, so chance your arm and you could be sitting down to this…

Or this…

Or even *drools* THIS:

The café has set opening times for its short run, which are as follows:

Lunch from 12pm – 1pm and 1pm – 2pm

Evenings from 6.00pm – 7.30pm

Saturday brunch from 12.00pm – 1.30pm and 2.00pm – 3.30pm

See you there!

New York Fashion Week is already in full swing, and we've got a front row seat to one of the hottest shows in town.

The Tommy Hilfiger Fall '16 runway show kicks off at 4pm Irish time, and while you might not quite make it to New York in time, you can watch a live stream of the show here on SHEmazing. Yup, you're welcome.

Watch the stream below from 4pm:

 

Tommy Hilfiger's Fall '16 collection promises a 1920s Prohibition era feel, so expect lots of pin-curls, drop-waisted dresses and plenty of sequins, beading and texture-heavy pieces.

The show has a nautical theme this year, and after 2015's on-stage beach party (featuring two feet of water on stage) we're expecting big things. Gigi Hadid and Hailey Baldwin are already confirmed to be leading the fashion pack on the TH catwalk today, with a host of other big names expected too.

As well as watching the live stream from 4pm, you can follow Gigi Hadid's pre-show updates from backstage over on Tommy Hilfiger's Snapchat (@tommyhilfiger) all afternoon.

Plus, follow the #TommyFall16 hashtag on Twitter and Instagram for photos and exclusive details.
