Piers Morgan is at it again.

Himself and Amber Rose have been having a go at each other on Twitter after the US model posted a half-naked photo of herself on Instagram. 

The 33-year-old shared the image on social media, in which she showed her pubic hair, in a effort to encourage women to embrace their bodies.

However, it seems not everyone is a fan of the natural look, and of course Piers had to have his say.

Replying to Amber's post, the journalist urged her to “put it away, luv”- a message which in turn prompted a huge response of its own.

The model then replied using the hashtag "#IllTakeThingsMisogynisticAssholesSayfor500Alex", and thus an all out Twitter spat was created.

The pair never did resolve the row, and what's more, Katie Hopkins just had to get involved in the action. 

Can't we all just get along?

So, it looks like we're in for another week of unpredictable weather. 

Although conditions definitely look set to improve, patches of rain and drizzle will continue throughout the next few days.

This morning will give way to bright and sunny spells with just a few scattered showers.

Rain will then extend from the southwest coast through Munster and Connacht this afternoon and remaining areas later this evening. Top temperatures of 15 to 18 degrees.

It will be a cloudy and damp start tomorrow, but some bright periods are due to develop later in the afternoon. A mild day, with top temperatures of 16 to 20 degrees.

Scattered showers and sunny spells will continue throughout the rest of the week.

Friday looks set to be the warmest day with temperatures expected to reach highs of 17 to 20 degrees.

The outlook for the weekend is still unclear, however a lot of dry weather is expected, with occasional sunny spells and just a few showers.

Temperatures in the high teens for most areas.

Not the worst but certainly not the best. Fingers crossed for next week lads.

With all of their congratulations on social media, Liam Payne has revealed that his One Direction bandmates still haven't met his son Bear.

Bear was born in March of this year, and The Sun is reporting that the lads have been showering him with gifts to make up their absenses.

Liam told the publication: "I mean, no one’s been over and seen him yet but I'm sure we'll make time.

"Niall bought him some trainers actually, which was really kind of him. Harry sent me some flowers, which was really nice."

And when talking about his home life, Liam said he's thankful to have Cheryl with him now.

"She's an amazing performer and if there’s a dance move she’ll be like ‘yeah, can you do this a bit more like this way’ she gets into it, it’s a lot of fun. 

 

A post shared by Cheryl (@cherylofficial) on

"It’s nice to have someone who’s a pro at home to tell you."

He also admitted that Baby Bear is already listening to music, and loves one of his songs in particular.

"There was a song of mine that I was going through my album this morning, picking up songs and seeing ones I still like, and there's a little 'woohoo' in one of the songs and he was literally laughing his head off, he loved it."

So cute!

Diamonds are a girl's best friend, right? Traditionally, most women go for a gold ring with a clear white diamond setting as an engagement ring.

But things have changed – women want a ring that reflects their style and personality. Listen, if it's going to sparkle on your finger for life, it better suit you

One trend that looks like it is here to stay is the black diamond; and we are HERE for it! 

Black diamond are perfect for the quirky bride who wants to give her rock an edge, and make the diamond pop.

It's a edgier alternative to more traditional white diamonds, and it's so different, which we really love.

It also has an antique-like vibe to it, which is incredibly sophisticated and elegant.

We decided to do a bit of a round up of our favourite black diamond engagement rings, direct from social media (of course).

As if we didn't know it already, woman are the stronger sex.

There has been a long standing myth that women are weaker than men, and it has been brought up time and time again throughout history.

However, according to research, women have a stronger chance of survival and we're born with it.

Woman Wearing Yellow Dress Beside Woman Wearing Red Dress

Steve Austad, an international ageing expert at the University of Alabama, spent two years studying why women live longer than men.

He found that no matter where you are in the world, women generally live about five to six years longer than their male counterparts.

Steven believes females are more "robust. Pretty much at every age, women seem to survive better than men."

attractive, beautiful, cute

In his study, the researcher noted that from a 2010 study, women were less likely to die from 12-15 causes, which include cancer and heart disease.

The only exception was Alzheimer's disease, which women are more likely to pass away from.

Steven said: "Once I started investigating, I found that women had resistance to almost all the major causes of death."

Kathryn Sandberg, director of the Centre for the Study of Sex Differences in Health, Ageing and Disease at Georgetown University explained: "If you look across all the different types of infections, women have a more robust immune response.

"If there's a really bad infection, they survive better. If it's about the duration of the infection, women will respond faster."

Weak, my a**.

A retro games bar sounds cool, but once you dive into this place you will realise it's a millennial's DREAM.

A legit dream.

That's not it, either. Next month, a specialised craft brew bar will open too.

And if playing Pac Man while drinking sweet craft beer isn't enough to get you excited, then all you need to do is take a look at its menu:

Dying? We are too. The new Smithfield spot recommend you book in advance so you won't be waiting for a table, but walk-ins are still welcome.

It's open from 4-11pm on weekdays and 4pm-midnight on weekends.

We just think we found our new favourite place.

Former Top Gear presenter Richard Hammond was involved in a car crash in Switzerland yesterday, which sparked a flurry of worry among his fans.

Richard was filming a segment for the second season of his Amazon Prime show, The Grand Tour, when his car rolled off a hill and burst into flames.

He was airlifted to hospital after losing control of a Rimac Concept One electric car while taking part in the famous Hemburg time trial.

His co-presenter, Jeremy Clarkson described the crash as one of the worst he's ever seen.

Speaking to his fans on DriveTribe in a post called I'm Not Dead, Richard thanked the medical team that treated him last night, as well as his other co-presenter James May for smuggling gin into the hospital.

He also apologised to his wife and daughter for getting into the situation in the first place.

Looking at the video (which you can watch here), Richard is in good spirits and still joking around with his crew.

We've been filling our Instagram feeds with things we're obsessed with; fabulous braids, frivolous trends, and of course, fancy food.

But if there's one thing that takes the biscuit every time, it's doughnuts.

From our love for them in Dublin, and around the world, the deliciousness of a doughnut has no words.

And our latest doughnut obsession? The glownut.

The glow in the dark treat was created by Australian company Black Star Pastry.

The sweet stuff is topped with yuzu icing which is packed with vitamin B (not only delish, but healthy, huh?).

Black Star Pastry decided to go with yuzu icing to be rid of additives that are used in most pastries around the world.

“We thought it would be fun to see people with glow-in-the-dark icing all over their hands and faces, so doughnuts were the natural choice,” baker Christopher Té told Daily Mail Australia.

“We would never create anything that was unnatural, even if it was a great idea,” he said.

“Black Star is all about great techniques and real cooking, we never add dyes or additives to any of our products. We strictly adhered to this principle in order to make the glow in the dark doughnut happen.”

And Black Star Pasrty don't stop with doughnuts. They also have a range of glow in the dark white hot chocolate, as well as neon doughballs.

Anyone fancy a trip to Australia?

Christy spoke to The Irish Sun on Sunday this morning and said that it was awful news to receive.

“I got a terrible shock. I got the result from my monthly blood test that I’m most afraid of.

“It was the worst news I could get, that this negative protein is growing inside my body.

He added: “All I can do now is more chemo but I’m not confident. Your blood develops an immunity to treatment so there’s no guarantee it’s going to work.”

We wish Christy the best.

Roisin looked gorgeous in a black polka dot skirt and bright pink top.

Danny later took to the social media site to share a picture of him and his friends, captioning it, "Wedding bants."

Hopefully more pictures of the special day will be released soon (in other words, we can't wait to see the dress!).
