While the Kardashians might literally make thousands from a single Instagram post, Oprah Winfrey has just shown them all who's boss as she raked up a cool twelve million dollars with a single tweet about bread yesterday. 

That's just over eleven million euro to you and me. 

According to the maths brains at Market Watch, Oprah's seemingly innocuous tweet and thirty second video about how she manages to lose weight whilst eating bread turned out to be worth millions for the TV host. 

The tweet was used to promote Oprah's weight loss journey as part of Weight Watchers and when you combine this with the fact that Oprah has the single largest stake in the weight loss company, you can see how the dollahs would tend to add up. 

And as a testament to the power of social media, after Oprah released the short video, shares increased in the company to just under two euro. 

So with Oprah owning over six million of those shares, this basically means Oprah is currently sitting on eleven million euro off the back of that one tweet. 

However, the money won't go straight into her bank account right away as we don't suppose she has any intention to sell those valuable shares just yet. 

I mean, would you?

If we know Kanye like we think we know Kanye, we're not going to be surprised if he drops his newly named album Waves, along with his new Yeezy collection.

In his extravagant fashion, the rapper-turned-designer is said to be keeping people on their toes, and no one knows exactly when the album is going to drop.

But, according to Racked, Ticketmaster US has a LIVE page for an event called Kanye West – Season 3 – Swish.

Now, up until now we all thought his forthcoming album was called Swish, so this might just be an indication that both Yeezy Season 3 and Waves are debuting together.

What's more is that the Ticketmaster page also gives a date – the first date of New York Fashion Week; February 11. 

And adding fuel to the fire, Kanye hinted at this date last week, sharing a photo of his producer, Swizz Beatz, looking at a laptop which read "Yeezy Season 3" and "11 Feb 2026."

One thing is for sure. Macklemore's new single and follow up track to 2005's White Privilege was intended to create waves. 

With lyrics like: "You speak about equality, but do you really mean it? Are you marching for freedom, or when it's convenient", it's safe to say, Macklemore wanted White Privilege II have an impact. 

However, THIS may not have been the attention he had wanted. 

In the second verse of the new song, Macklemore raps: "You've exploited and stolen the music, the moment, The magic, the passion, the fashion, you toy with, The culture was never yours to make better.

"You're Miley, you're Elvis, you're Iggy Azalea.

"Fake and so plastic, you've heisted the magic, You've taken the drums and the accent you rapped in, You're branded hip-hop, it's so fascist and backwards."

And as one might expect, Iggy totally took the bait taking to Twitter to respond to the probing lyrics. 

"He shouldn't have spent the last 3 yrs having friendly convos and taking pictures together at events etc if those were his feelings," she said about the song in a tweet that was swiftly deleted.

While Macklemore kept out of the Twitter scuffle, he did respond to the comments in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine. 

"For me, that second verse is unpacking. It's an unpacking moment of internalised criticism and self-doubt.

"And I think that people get put into boxes, and the conversation around cultural appropriation – I was at the forefront of that, rightfully so. And that conversation also included Miley Cyrus and Iggy Azalea, and that's why their names are on the record."

There was major controversy at the end of last year when she won her Glamour Award, with people fighting to say she didn't deserve it.

And since then, Caitlyn has been nominated for numerous other awards including the Arthur Ashe Courage Award and the Teen Choice Award for Social Media Queen.

But it doesn't stop there as Cait as been nominated for yet another award today; The GLAAD Media Award.

Her show I Am Cait is in the running along with Adam Lambert's new album and Carol, the American LGBT media advocacy organisation announced today.

GLAAD announced a total of 101 nominations English and Spanish nominations and Caitlyn was recognised for her reality show and the Diane Sawyer interview she did last year.

The award ceremony will be held in LA on April 2, but we're pretty confident she'll come out on top.

We think freckles are absolutely gorgeous, but we don't know how we feel about drawing on multi-coloured freckles on our faces.

In a beauty look probably not safe at all for work but perhaps ideal for a summer holiday or festival, if done right we think this trend is super cute and quirky. 

As seen in a unique beauty tutorial by Dominique from Batalash Beauty, the look is created by using an array of brightly coloured liquid lipsticks. 

She then uses skinny precession brushes to scatter the pretty patterns across her face.

We think the finished result is very cute with the coloured specks matching the natural scatter of freckles on the face. 

And it seems that people are giving it a whirl with amazing results: 

Would you try it?

The wait is finally over!

After a tonne of speculation and delayed release dates, Rihanna has finally revealed the first single from her hotly anticipated album. 

The single entitled Work, features rapper Drake and is to be the first single from the album may be released as early as next week!

While there's no video as of yet, the track was premiered on US radio just this morning and we have to say, we like it.

With Rihanna's new tunes this month and Beyonce's latest record most likely out next month, we will have a tonne of party tunes to slay to for the rest of the year. 

The song is currently only available on the Jay-Z's streaming service Tidal or to preview and purchase on iTunes so it's still pretty difficult to access. 

You can also listen to a snippet of the track below:

Despite having many glorious movie stars, Irish men have been voted the ugliest in the entire world. *Sad face*.

International dating website, Beautifulpeople.com, which is solely for "beautiful men and women," revealed that less than one in ten of Irish single males are accepted onto the site.

We find this extremely harsh on our poor lads and also totally untrue. So, to clear things up, here's a list of HOT Irish men. You won't be disappointed:

10. Michael Fassbender

Whether he's Bobby Sands or Steve Jobs, we totally swoon whenever Michael comes onto our screens. 

 

9. Conor McGregor

Our own UFC legend, we can't leave Conor out of this list.

 

8. Colin Farrell

He's been the hot Irish guy for yeeears, and that's not going to stop anytime soon.

 

7. Allen Leech

Our Downton Abbey heart throb. Sometimes we watch the show just for him.

 

6. Jack Reynor

He's up for being the new Han Solo, and rightly so, just LOOK at him.

 

5. Chris O'Dowd

He's a geek but for some reason we find him hot. Ah well, it is what it is.

 

4. Pierce Brosnan

Come on, he was James Bond for god's sake!

 

3. Robert Sheehan

Our curly haired dude has always had a way with the ladies.

 

2. Aidan Turner

We're watching Poldark NON-stop. Just for Aidan Turner's bod.

 

1. Jamie Dornan

This Northern Irish handsome fellow THANK YOU LORD FOR JAMIE DORNAN.

As movie stars go, Chris Pratt definitely seems like he's got his head screwed on somewhat.

He's openly spoken before about how tough he had it financially in his early days as a struggling actor, admitting that he lived out of a van in Hawaii before getting his first movie role.

And even now, with two big movie franchises on the go – Jurassic Park and Guardians of The Galaxy – Chris seems determined not to get too complacent.

Posting after a long day of shooting on two separate films at Atlanta's Pinewood Studios, the father-of-one made it clear he wasn't taking his good luck for granted.

"Fifteen years ago I felt the same passion I feel today, but I had very little opportunity," he wrote.

"I had to hustle hard and go hungry. I had to eat sardines and figure out how to get gas money.

"And I never had a plan B. I never stopped believing. Ever. Don't give up. Apply constant pressure for as long as it takes.."

And even after 21 hours on the go, Chris still had some fun, throwing out random figures about the length of time he'd been awake for.

"It's 3:20am. I got picked up for work at 6:45am yesterday. I'm not good with math, especially after being up for approximately 61 hours but I think I've been up for over 77 hours," he joked.

"I did a table read for Guardians of the Galaxy 2 this morning and then shot all day on Passengers and just now wrapped some 144 hours later."

We're not sure we'd be quite so chirpy after 21 hours of working two jobs back to back…

Celebrity Big Brother took on a new low last night when health guru Gillian McKeith entered the house. 

The 56-year-old asked the housemates to give her a stool sample to test what their diets are like, and when they all argued (obvs), she told them she put laxatives in their knickers. WHAT?

"Don't worry, it's not touching anything," she said.

The whole ordeal led to a rather disgusting talk among the housemates… and we're so grossed out.

"Mine is like slop, said Stephanie, while Jeremy told Gillian he was worried about the smell. 

The task comes after the You Are What You Eat star revealed that she would be cleaning the housemates' minds, bodies and souls and named the four most "toxic" celebs.  

Stephanie Davis (no shock there), Scotty T, John Partridge and Tiffany Pollard were named as the worst influences in the house – giving Gemma Collins a free pass because she was sick.

Fox Mulder and Dana Scully made their long-awaited return to our TV screens last night, as the first episode of The X-Files' revival aired.

The verdict? If you were struggling to grasp what was going on in the original episodes, you won't be any better off this time around.

While no-one can deny that the theme tune is as chilling as it was fifteen years ago, the reviews on social media were somewhat mixed…

The plotline was as hard to grasp as ever

 

Some people weren't on board with the whole 'nostalgia' element

 

Although others were loving a bitta Nineties revival of a Tuesday

 

And some people… had no idea what was going on at all

We know she's a bit of a diva (understatement of the year), but we didn't think she's charge people – children included – £12 (€16) for a selfie.

The Big Brother contestant, who has majorly shocked fans with her antics in the house – refuses to take photos with fans for free. 

Alex Sibley, who was a BB contestant in 2002, took to Twiiter to share a photo about Gemma's behaviour. 

The tweet said, "Gemma Collins charged my friend's daughter £12 for this selfie."

After Alex shared the tweet, a number of other users hopped on the bandwagon and started telling their stories of similar experiences:

We just can't help but LOL at this.

The 1916 Rising is something that will stick with every Irish person, no matter what generation.

It's a part of our heritage, but sometimes sitting down in history class in school was sooo boring.

But, not for these 3rd class pupils from Sunday's Well Boys National School in Cork. They decided to spice their history lesson up a bit.

Instead of staying with the books and Powerpoint presentations, this 3rd class re-imagined the poignant event through Lego. 

The class reenacted and narrated the whole thing, and we have to say, it's pretty damn good.

Fair play, Sunday's Well Boys National School. Fair play.
