Fashion giant Chanel are facing heavy criticism after it was revealed that a €1,260 boomerang is being sold as part of the brand's SS17 collection.

The 'luxury sporting accessory' has sparked huge online backlash with some Twitter users labelling the item as insensitive towards indigenous Australian culture.

On Monday, US makeup artist, Jeffree Star displayed the boomerang on various social media outlets, with the message:  “Having so much fun with my new @Chanel boomerang.”

The images ignited a huge online debate and users were quick to accuse Chanel of cultural appropriation.

According to The Guardian, one person wrote: “[it] humiliates a whole culture”.

“I am from Australia and I am offended that a company would make a joke out of something that was used as a weapon for survival.”

Speaking to The Guardian, a Chanel representative said the company was “extremely committed to respecting all cultures, and regrets that some may have felt offended.”

Other outrageously overpriced items featuring in the SS17 collection include, a set of three tennis balls (€514), a racket (€2003) and a set of beach paddles and balls (€4386).

Absolute NOTIONS!

Following last month's Netfilx hacking scandal, it has now emerged that Disney's upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar's Revenge could be the latest film to be held at ransom.

Disney CEO, Bob Iger, revealed the news yesterday.

According to The Independent, the hackers are  asking for a significant amount to be paid to them in Bitcoin and are threatening to release the film in segments online if their demands are not met. 

Disney are refusing to pay and are currently working with FBI officials to determine their next move.

The Pirates of the Caribbean franchise has already earned the studio over four billion euro and it is not yet known how the potential leak will effect box office ratings.  

Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar's Revenge comes to Irish cinemas May 26.

A teenager has collapsed and died at a school in the United States after consuming a high level of caffeine. 

The family of the teen are warning about the dangers of excessive caffeine intake, according to Breaking News.

David Allen Cripe drank a coffee, a large fizzy drink and an energy drink in the space of two hours, and suffered from a 'caffeine-induced cardiac event.'

The 16-year-old didn't have an undiagnosed heart condition, the coroner confirmed.

'Parents please, talk to your kids about the dangers of these energy drinks,' David's father Seán said. 

'Teenagers and students, please stop buying them.'

'There’s no reason to consume then, they can be very dangerous.'

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that adolescents, age 12 to 18, should not consume more than 100 milligrams of caffeine per day.

As women, there is a distinct pressure to wear makeup to look our best, and yet there is also a culture of shaming women for wearing 'too much' makeup.

The double standard is less than pleasing, and for some women, painting their faces is an empowering and creative endeavour.

One such woman is Kerry Whittaker, who recently penned a powerful and truthful post about an instance of makeup shaming she experienced at her job as a checkout cashier. 

'Why are girls so nasty?' she began her Facebook post about the incident.

'So I'm sat in work today minding my own, and I over hear a woman talking to what I presume is her 14 yr old daughter and they're sniggering laughing saying "have you seen the state on that? Who comes to work to sit on a checkout looking like that.. don't know who she thinks she is."'

'1st of all why would you find that acceptable? I'm not harming nobody. Would you say the same about a girl who has problems with her skin and spots on her face. I doubt it.'

'2nd, why don't you lead by example to your daughter about empowering other women rather than tearing them down. In this society the last thing we need to be doing to each other as humans is judging people based on looks.'

'3rd, when you can do a cut crease as sick as this then come back to me and tell me I look like sh*t.'

Kerry is clearly a makeup maverick, and her response to the unnecessary comments is completely golden.

Kim Kardashian's assistant Stephanie Shepherd basically runs the mum-of-two's life from her smartphone. 

She's the girl slightly in the background of the paparazzi photos, keeping the Kardahian's schedule running smoothly. 

As well as managing Kim's life since 2013, the 29-year-old has become fast friends with the entire family. 

The now COO of Kardashian West Brands opened up to Refiney 29 about what it's like to work for the most famous reality TV star in the biz. 

According to Stephanie, it's a constant stream of work and travel, but with a communal, family feel. 

Reflecting on what ahe has learnt from the Kardashian matriarch Kris Jenner, Stephanie had this to say:

 

A post shared by STEPHANIE ANN SHEPHERD (@steph_shep) on

'If you're a procrastinator, this is not the world for you.'

'If someone tells her no, she has no problem standing her ground and saying, "We're not accepting that, get someone on the phone and make it happen."'

'That woman can literally get on the phone and change the world.'

'And somehow, she juggles all of these kids, all of their careers, and still makes sure that every assistant, every staff member, has a Christmas present, delivered to us by Christmas, with a thoughtful card.'

'And it’s a nice ass Christmas present. That’s the kind of person I aspire to be one day.'

Who run the world? Kris Jenner, apparently.

Research which has just been developed at NUI Galway could improve the treatment of breast cancer.

The experts behind the research are looking at specific genetic factors that control how quickly cancer spreads, according to Breaking News.

The scientists are focusing on the Herv K gene, which has associations with tumour development.

'We are hoping we can develop biomarkers for a start, so we can better understand which women have an aggressive disease versus having quite a non-aggressive one,' said Dr Sharon Glynn from NUI Galway.

This assessment will give doctors a better idea of the treatment needed by patients.

'If we know that, we can better decide should people should people receive particular chemotherapies.'

So, it turns out taking regular power naps can actually make us happier. 

In a recent study conducted by the University of Hertfordshire, researchers asked over 1,000 participants to rate their happiness levels and note whether or not they napped throughout the day.

The subjects were then divided into three groups – non-nappers, short nappers and long nappers.

Results found that approximately 67 per cent of short nappers claimed to feel happy, while just 56 per cent of long napper and 60 percent of non-nappers said the same. 

According to Red Online, Richard Wiseman, Psychologist Professor at the university said:

"Previous research has shown that naps of under 30 minutes make you more focused, productive and creative, and these new findings suggest the tantalising possibility that you can also become happier by just taking a short nap."

"Similarly longer napping is associated with several health risks and again, this is in line with our results."

Short 'power' naps actually come with a whole host of health benefits. 

A separate study carried out by NASA found that 26-minute naps could boost alertness by up to 54 per cent. 

We won't argue with those statistics. 

Professor Wiseman also stressed the need for workplaces to provide quiet napping areas for their employees.

"A large body of research shows that short naps boost performance. Many highly successful companies, such as Ben & Jerry's and Google, have installed dedicated nap spaces, and employees need to wake up to the upside of napping at work."

Now, there's an idea we can definitely get behind.

The trailer for Netflix's latest female-led series has landed and we are already obsessed. 

Inspired by a short-lived show from the 80's, GLOW follows the life of out-of-work actor, Ruth Wilder, played by Alison Brie, who has been thrust into the bizarre world of women's wrestling. 

About to give up on her dream, Ruth hears of an audition hoping to find "unconventional women", and decides to give stardom one last try. 

The actress, and 12 other Hollywood misfits, land parts as the 'Gorgeous Ladies Of Wrestling'  and if the trailer is anything to go by, it leads to some hilarious results. 

The series is produced by Orange Is the New Black creator Jenji Kohan and Tara Herrmann. 

GLOW premieres on Netflix June 23. 

It's an 80's nostalgia, girl-powered extravaganza and we can not wait binge-watch.
