Not only is she making her own beauty empire, but Kylie Jenner has reportedly been asked to be the new face of sports brand, Puma.

Not shy of a photoshoot, Us Weekly reports that the reality star will only take on the role as "brand ambassador" and won't be designing anything like Rihanna did last year.

While neither Kylie or Puma have confirmed the story, it's looking pretty solid. Kylie even retweeted a news piece about it this morning.

We do think she'll be an insanely cool cover girl for the brand though and we're expecting a very edgy vibe coming from her.

Let's just say it. Amy Schumer's boyfriend seems to be the most loving boyfriend in the WORLD. Sorry lads.

Not only does he post pictures of her all the time, he also posts messages to say how proud he is of the comedian. 

But now, the furniture-maker took to Instagram to say goodbye (temporarily) to his lady love. 

"Nothing I hate more than saying bye to this human," he captioned a photo of the couple at the beach.

Late last month he also shared a black and white photo of Amy with the caption, "When you find her, risk everything."

AWWWWW. We just can't deal.

Everyone and their granny is gifted a big bar of Tolberone at Christmas and birthdays, so it's safe to say we've all struggled with breaking and eating it.

The chocolate ends up ALL OVER your hands, and if worse comes to worse, the pieces just break everywhere – and that's not fun.

So, when we came across genius Kaitlin Moore showing us the REAL way to eat Tolberone, let's just say we were dumbfounded.

How did we all make something so easy, so difficult?

If you want to know the right way, that won't get smudges of chocolate all over your hands, here's Kaitlin's video:

Fans of Glee might have to look it up under a different name since the TV show legally HAS to change its name.

Entrepreneur Mark Tughan owns a number of comedy clubs in the UK called, The Glee Club.

So, when Glee – the TV show – first aired on our screens, Mark began a gigantic legal battle with FOX in 2011 and accused the show's bosses of stealing his name.

The businessman trademarked "The Glee Club" in 1999, ten years before Glee ever hit our TVs.

He argued that the name of the series was confusing people and putting customers off attending his venues as they associated the show with him.

Fox TV flew over to the UK to attend the court battles and denied breach of copyright since they had no idea that Mark owned clubs under The Glee Club name.

In 2014, High Court judges ruled in Mark's favour but then Fox appealed that decision with lawyers arguing that re-branding would have "catastrophic consequences" for the show and the company.

They said the ruling would effect repeats of the series, future shows, DVDs, CDs and digital downloads.

But even after the appeal, they lost out again at the Court of Appeal this week.

Mark commented on the verdict, telling The Mirror, "It is a great relief that the court has upheld the earlier judgement. We hope that this bring us closure to the end of this whole saga.

For anyone who loves (or wants to start loving) juicing, a bullet-style blender is the way to go.

All you do is chop, fill, blend and go – what could be simpler at 7am when you're still rubbing sleep from your eyes, debating whether you have time to wash your hair?

Sadly for our pockets though, the oft-championed NutriBullet doesn't exactly come cheap, starting at upwards of €85 depending on where you purchase it.

So we are downright shaking with excitement for the launch of Aldi's new smoothie and juice blender, which hits shelves next week.

The Nutrient Blender has a 700W motor (more than the standard NutriBullet's 600W), comes with a large 700ml cup, two smaller 350ml ones, two travel lids and a variety of blade attachments.

The best part? It retails at just €39.99. WIN.

Aldi's original smoothie maker/juicer, released back in October, also flew off the shelves – and while this one is slightly pricier, it's also heaps more powerful than the original 300W motored one.

Aldi confirmed today that the blender (available in gunmetal grey, champagne or red) will be available in stores from next Thursday February 18, which gives you just over a week to bribe someone to camp outside the store with a sleeping bag all night.

Okay, you don't quite need to go to those lengths, but we do recommend getting to your local Aldi early on as these are bound to sell out.

University Challenge has remained a popular show for decades, but we might have another reason to watch it now.

On last nights show, a contestant called Ed Bretherton wowed with his knowledge and his looks.

The student quickly became a fan favourite as he dressed casual in a t-shirt and jeans, in contrast to his fellow team mates fancy attire.

Social media fell even more in love with him when he immediately identified NWA's Straight Outta Compton after just one bar being played.

Here's some of the reactions after his stint on UC:

All we want to know is when he's coming back on the show.

Khloe Kardashian's love life is one very complicated life indeed.

Last weekend, her sister Kim spilled the beans that Khloe was taking a morning hike with Lamar Odom, and rumours flooded in that the pair were back together again.

It was then rumoured that Khloe split from basketball player James Harden a few weeks ago, yet nothing was confirmed so nobody was really sure what was going on.

But NOW, news has surfaced that Khloe enjoyed a night on the tiles with another ex-lover, French Montana.

The pair were spotted having dinner in celeb-fave The Nice Guy restaurant in Hollywood. The couple then headed out to a nearby strip club, Ace of Diamonds.

Khloe's BFF Malika Haqq was also spotted with them on the night, which makes us wonder if Khloe is back with French.

It was no secret that Malika didn't like James, so now that they're playing happy family, it could be for Khloe's benefit.

We're not really sure who Khloe is loving at the moment, but we hope she's happy after the year she went through.

We love a beach holiday with a stack of Marian Keyes books by our side as much as anyone, but we still get a bit of holiday boredom from time to time.

While you might not be into cliff-jumping or Formula One driving, there are heaps of adrenaline-fuelling sports on offer both in Ireland and elsewhere that you don't need to be an extreme sports junkie to try. In fact, you can be a total beginner (and even a scaredy-cat) before you get going.

Nissan's new seven-seater X-Trail is the perfect SUV car for anyone who likes a bit of adventure in their life, and since giving it a go last week we've had extreme sports on the brain.

With that in mind, here are a few of the more, shall we say, nail-biting activities we have lined up for our next trip away.

Flyboarding on Lough Derg
KUWTK fans will remember Kendall's rage that Kylie went flyboarding in St. Barth's without her earlier this season, and we can see why she was so annoyed. A flyboard enables the rider to use jet-powered water pressure to "fly" above the water. Total superhero stuff, and it's available to do in Ireland now too.

 

Bobsleighing in Innsbruck, Austria
Not content with designing the slick new X-Trail SUV, the folks at Nissan also designed a seven-seater X-Trail Bobsleigh, giving it an inaugral run at the historic Olympic Boblsleigh track at Innsbruck in the Austrian Alps. Last week the SHEmazing team followed in the footsteps of Olympic medallist Sean Olsson and tried the bobsleigh out ourselves – and we're already hooked. Luckily, Innsbruck's Olympiaworld offers bobsledding experiences on their 'ice canal' for anyone wanting to give the sport a go.

 

Heli-skiing in Whistler, Canada
Another Kylie Jenner favourite, heli-skiing involves being flown by helicopter to a more remote (and higher!) area of ski slopes, untouched by other skiers. So basically, if a normal black slope is too "relaxed" for you, this is your man. Try it in Canada, the US, New Zealand Switzerland or Italy among other places.

 

Skydiving in Ireland – or further afield
Skydiving is available in almost any tourist country with some space and good views, but be careful where you go. A good safety record for the company you choose is key, and of course good visibility. Weather issues mean many skydiving enthusiasts travel out of Ireland where the visibilty is more reliable. That said, on an Irish summer's day you could be in the car, harnessed up and up in the air in a matter of hours.

 

Waterfall abseiling in Colombia or Costa Rica
You've probably tried abseiling on a school trip, but add a waterfall into the mix and things get crazy. Yup, this extreme sport involves exactly what it says on the tin – abseiling down a cliff face while a waterfall crashes all around you. Not for the faint-hearted…

It was all tantrums and lash outs in the Celebrity Big Brother house, but in an interview today, Stephanie Davis completely broke down in tears.

The actress was on Loose Women today when she began to talk about the reasons she became romantically involved with Jeremy. 

“I know it was bad with Jez, but he was the first person to love me for being me," she said before starting to cry.

And then she began to describe why she loves him.

“His morales and everything. I got speaking to Jez, when he was younger, he lost his mum, brother and sister in the space of 15 months.

"The only picture he had of his mum and brother was on his neck. He’s down to earth and calm and has such a great outlook on life after having such a terrible time.”

She also said that she doesn't feel bad about dumping Sam Reece via text.

“I said, you know, I said, ‘It’s nice to see you’ve been making money off the back of it. I’ve finally met someone who loves me for being me'."

Kris Humphries didn't have the best break-up with Kim Kardashian, so it would have been mega awkward for the ex-hubby to bump into Kimmy's current hubby.

The two stars were in Manhattan, New York last night and just narrowly avoided each other.

The rapper was in the Big Apple to attend the launch of Kendall and Kylie's new fashion line.

Meanwhile, Kris was in the city for work reasons since he has been out of basketball due to an injury in his right knee.

But there's no love lost between the pair , since Kanye slammed the basketball player in his song Cold in 2012.

"I’ll admit, I had fell in love with Kim. Around the same time she had fell in love with him. Well that’s cool, baby girl, do ya thang. Lucky I ain’t had Jay drop him from the team."

Ouch, Kanye. But then again, Kris probably doesn't care.

While Ciara and Future were once close enough to have a child together, it seems there is nothing left but bad blood between the former couple. 

The Love, Sex and Magic singer is reportedly taking her ex-boyfriend to court on counts of defamation, libel and slander. 

And she's looking for a cool 15 million dollars as a settlement. 

Yeah, things must have become really bad. 

According to the Jasmine Brand, the 30-year-old filed a court report last month over "several false and defamatory statements" allegedly made by Future in the public domain. 

According to Ciara, these comments have damaged her career both as a singer and a celebrity mother. 

The rapper has also allegedly publicly attacked Ciara's new relationship with sports-star Russell Wilson. 

"[Future is] purposefully published lies about [Ciara] on his Twitter account, social media and other interviews to destroy her reputation as a good mother, to diminish her brand and to impair her professional career in the entertainment industry," reads the court documents. 

Ciara has also claimed that the rapper is using the publicity to promote an upcoming album. 

We are wondering if Ciara regrets naming the kid Future Jr so…

In an extremely weird turn of events, Charlie Sheen claims he is nearly HIV negative.

The actor, who is being treated by a controversial doctor, Dr Sam Chachoua, claims to have mixed his HIV-infected blood with an uninfected sample to test the results of his treatment.

“I’ve been under the care of Dr. Sam for a couple weeks now, and we’re seeing some incredible results,” Charlie said on a YouTube video, which shows him having blood drawn.

The 50-year-old then said he will see “what shakes out” after his HIV-positive blood is added to clean samples.

After a few weeks, Mr Sheen resumes filming and claims that there is "glaring evidence" he and the doctor are on to something.

If this sounds very odd and confusing, here's the video:
