Reports are emerging of a bus crash in Tennessee which has left six children dead and 23 injured.

District Attorney Neal Pinkston told Channel 3 that five children were killed in the crash; the sixth child died at the hospital afterward.

The incident occurred in Chattanooga and, according to US media, the driver was taken into custody.

He faces five counts of vehicular homicide, reckless endangerment and reckless driving charges.

The crash happened at 4pm local time and it is believed the children were aged between five and 10-years-old.

Chattanooga Fire & Police Enlightener took to Facebook to encourage everyone to donate blood before writing: "This one is gonna hurt for a very LONG time." 

The bus ended up wrapped around a tree off Talley Road in the Brainerd area, and it took rescuers at least two hours to remove all children from the bus.

"Our hearts go out … to the families, the neighbourhood, the school, for all the people involved in this," Chattanooga Police Chief Fred Fletcher said at an afternoon news conference, according to The Tennessean.  

"We assure you we are doing everything we can."

Our hearts go out to the families at this tragic time.

In a move which didn't exactly endear him to certain husbands and boyfriends at the time, Robbie Williams once suggested he had slept with all but one of the Spice Girls back in the day.

Reflecting on his comment recently, Robbie said: "I told a joke a long time ago. And it sort of got out of hand. You know Back For Good the Take That song, I used to sing that on stage."

"I still do. On one particular tour before it I introduced it by saying ‘I am very fortunate to have been in Take That and four out of five of the Spice Girls.’

"I would like to apologise to all the Spice Girls involved and their husbands and boyfriends. I know a few husbands and boyfriends weren’t too happy with the joke," Robbie admitted.

And while the comment may have been made years ago, Mel B decided it was time to address the remark during a recent interview, but after misquoting the Candy singer, she inadvertently spilled some deets on her former band mates.

"He actually publicly apologised to me for all that mess… saying he had apparently gotten it on with all five Spice Girls. He wishes!" she told The Kyle and Jackie O Show.

"I was the one he never did," Mel insisted. “He’s a friend of mine… Yuck! He’s been with my friends, I don’t want sloppy seconds."

So in actual fact, both Robbie and Mel are saying the same thing…  how interesting

If one outfit caught everyone’s attention last weekend, it was Chrissy Teigen’s super split Yousef Akbar AMA gown.

Despite earning the model a place on fashion sites across the globe, the daring black dress didn’t exactly behave itself on the red carpet.

After Chrissy’s nether region was exposed by a troublesome gust of wind, the 30-year-old was accused of lacking class by online critics.

But while public wardrobe malfunctions are enough to send many celebs into hiding, yesterday the Lip Sync Battle host employed her trademark sense of humour to apologise to those affected by the sight of her “hooha”.

Alongside a collage of photos from the night, Chrissy wrote: “#AMAs! Love you so so so much…(Apologies to anyone harmed mentally or physically by my hooha) dress is #yousefakbar and shoes are @dsquared2 and laser hair removal is @sevlaseraesthetics.”

Just like that, Chrissy brushed off an embarrassing episode, shut down her haters and gave a shout out to her laser hair removal practitioner.

Less than a day after cancelling the remainder of his Saint Pablo tour, Kanye West has been hospitalised with a “medical emergency” in LA.

According to TMZ, the rapper was taken to UCLA Medical Centre for a “psychiatric evaluation” after he began “acting erratically” while visiting his trainer’s home.

A combination of management and law enforcement convinced the 39-year-old to agree to medical assistance.

He was assessed for severe sleep deprivation before being transported to hospital.

The Mirror has reported that Kanye’s wife, Kim Kardashian, has cancelled her first red carpet appearance since her traumatic Paris Fashion Week robbery to be by her husband’s side.

Kris Jenner admitted Kanye was left “exhausted” by his “gruelling tour” while attending The Angel Ball in New York shortly before the news of his hospitalisation broke, Perez Hilton states.

Having sold her first wedding to OK! magazine and endured two high-profile divorces, it's no real surprise that Cheryl Cole has done a full 180 in recent months and decided to keep her private life… well… private.

But that doesn't mean the star isn't aware of the scrutiny and speculation which surrounds her on a daily basis – a fact of life she addressed during a recent interview with The Sun's Fabulous magazine.

The former Girls Aloud singer, who is said to be expecting a baby with boyfriend Liam Payne, is refusing to feed into rumours, and insists the public can take from that whatever they want.

"I am happier than I've ever been before. Now is a good time in my life," she said.

And while she refused to confirm or deny any rumours, Cheryl hinted that the public have a good insight into how the star is feeling at various points in her life.

"I know you can tell exactly what is going on with me. My eyes give everything away," she admitted.

"I can't ever hide my emotions, and it's great that you can see I'm really happy. I learned to be less apologetic and not to give a sh*t about what people say."

While Cheryl and Liam haven't addressed the pregnancy reports, the couple's friends, Kimberley Walsh and Olly Murs, haven't done much to dispel the rumours.

Cheryl's really playing the long-game with this one.

A total of 96 pure-breed puppies found in the back of lorry at Holyhead last week have now been placed in foster homes. 

Sadly many are battling health conditions – meaning they cannot be placed in permanent homes immediately. However, the Dublin Society Of The Prevention Of Cruelty To Animals has highlighted that all the pups will eventually be assigned to forever owners. 

The animals, including basset hounds, beagles, Yorkies, cocker spaniels and Bichon Frise, are so-called designer breeds and were being transported illegally from Irish puppy farms to the UK in time for Christmas. 

In total, the animals were worth around €50,000. They were returned to Ireland and last week were assigned foster families. 

At the time of the discovery, the DSPCA said: "The levels that were taken to conceal these puppies are shocking with most of them squashed into small containers with little or no space, no food, no water and without the correct paper work.

"All 96 puppies came into our care, all 96 of them required veterinary attention and all 96 will be heading out to foster care and then onto their new homes.

"We are asking you to support the important work we do by making a donation on dspca.ie/donate."

Another post of the charity's Facebook page read: "Out of the 96 puppies that came into the DSPCA on Monday about half of them have health problems such as eye and ear infections and sensitive tummies due to poor diet and anxiety after a very poor start in life."

This seizure of the pups was part of Operation Delphin: an ongoing collaboration between DSPCA, Ulster SPCA, ISPCA, RSPCA, Scottish SPCA, Stena Line, the gardaí and customs and tax authorities in Ireland and UK.

Charlotte Letitia Crosby is nothing if not her true, authentic self.

She may have earned millions over the last five years and established a pretty lucrative career for herself as an original Geordie Shore cast member, but if you expected the fame and fortune to go to the Geordie lass's head, you'd be mistaken.

Sounding as down-to-earth as ever during a recent beauty tutorial, the 26-year-old admitted she didn't know why she employed certain methods and confessed to having run out of things to say while showcasing her skills.

And if that wasn't enough, the reality star then unleashed a torrent of expletives after burning herself on her styling tools, and many of her fans on Instagram can't get enough.

"She's f*cking hilarious," wrote one while another added: "Keeping it real…. so funny"

Unfortunately not everyone was as impressed with Charlotte's casual approach to the tutorial, with one Instagram user complaining: "I watched all that to see the end result and there wasn't one."

"So don't you get to see the end result?" added another.

You don't, but you do get to see the Charlotte we all know and love.

When it comes to the food of kings, we reckon that pizza, and Christmas dinner with all the trimmings are right up there among the very best. 

And now, praise the taste gods, Milanos has decided to combine both to create what ultimately amounts to a Christmas roast on a pizza.

Dubbed the fancy-pants Porchetta Natale Romana, it boasts pulled hog roast along with a soft herb stuffing, pancetta, mozzarella, rosemary, oregano and pine kernels, and fresh parsley and costs €16.90.

If that's not your cup of tea, the Pannetone Cheesecake (€6.85) – chocolate chip and orange marmalade panettone pieces in a creamy vanilla cheesecake, topped on a thick and buttery biscuit base – might be.

Otherwise, Snowball Dough Balls (€4.45) are a safe bet: Milano’s famous Dough Balls sprinkled with icing sugar and cinnamon and served with a vanilla cream dip.

Yesterday, fans of Gay Byrne were saddened to learn that the legendary broadcaster is facing a diagnosis of prostate cancer.

Making the candid announcement on his Lyric FM radio show on Sunday afternoon, the former Late Late Show host revealed that he will be absent from the programme next week because he is expected in hospital to undergo a series of tests.

Last night, the 82-year-old offered The Irish Sun a glimpse at how he intends to cope with his health concerns when he told the paper he has no option but to maintain a positive outlook.

“You don’t have any choice but to have a positive outlook,” said Gaybo.  “You have to have the best outlook possible.”

“You have to remember there are a huge collection of fellas who have survived prostate cancer.  They all survived and are doing well and why couldn’t that apply to me?”

Discussing his decision to make the news public, the father of two said he wanted stop the production of rumours.

 

“I just made the announcement because I wouldn’t be doing the show next week and to stop the rumours starting that I was dead or gone.”

He explained that doctors think he has “a little cancer of the prostate” but admitted that they won’t know for sure until the end of next week.

As any fan of the Ellen show will know, a celebrity's dignity is often checked at the door with their coat.

Unlike other chat shows where a star can sit back and shoot the breeze about their upcoming movie, Ellen encourages her guests to take part in games which generally leaves them looking pretty ridiculous.

And this week, that celebrity was Emma Stone.

While appearing on the show to discuss La La Land, Emma took part in a dance-off with the host, and it seems like it really got the better of both of them at certain points.

From Emma forgetting the rules mere seconds after beginning the game to Ellen looking more sheepish than we're used to seeing her during certain dance moves, Last Dance with Emma Stone wasn't quite as slick as we expected.

And to be honest, it only made us love the pair of them even more.
