When we look back on our favourite childhood shows, the likes of Lizzie McGuire, Full House and Sabrina the Teenage Witch spring to mind. 

Now, one 90s classic is returning to our screens, according to one of the show's main actresses.

Tia Mowry of Sister Sister has confirmed that she is actively working on making a reboot of the iconic show, all she needs is a producer.

'We’re looking, right now, for a producer and a writer, someone who can kind of be a leader of the pack in regards to running the show,' she told Nylon. 

'I thought people would kind of be jumping on it, but it’s a lot harder than my sister and I thought it would be.'

'Everything in my career has always been a challenge.'

Chloe Grace Moretx has responded to the intense wave of backlash which followed the advertising for her upcoming movie Red Snows and the 7 Dwarfs.

The movie is based on the original Snow White fairytale, but with a twist. 

'What if Snow White was no longer beautiful?' reads the new advertisement for the flick, a slogan which stands beside a comparative image of Snow White, one image shows a tall and slim version, the other a short curvy version. 

The spin-off movie is causing outrage on social media, and was even called out for fat shaming by positivity advocate Tess Holiday.

Chloe Grace Moretz, who voices Snow White in the upcoming children's movie, has taken to Twitter to apologise and share her thoughts. 

'I have now fully reviewed the marketing for Red Shoes, I am just as appalled and angry as everyone else, this wasn't approved by me or my team,' she said.

'Please know I have let the producers of the film know,' she continued.

'I lent my voice to a beautiful script that I hope you will all see in its entirety.'

'The actual story is powerful for young women and resonated with me.'

'I am sorry for the offence that was beyond my creative control.'

The reaction to Tess Holliday's tweet, in which she tagged Chloe, was shock and outrage. 

'No wonder kids have issues with body image,' said one.

'Enough of the size shaming. We are all unique and thus beautiful in our own way.'

'I'm willing to give the film a chance, but I agree that this ad sends a negative message, and probably could have been done differently,' said another.

Now, Beyoncé is confirmed to grace a few lucky thousand Coachella patrons with her presence in 20218.

However, there will be no holding her back next year, as the then mum-of-three will be storming the stage in Indio.

Katy Griffin will not return as co-host of CNN's annual New Year's Eve program after photos were released of the comedian holding a bloody head resembling that of Donald Trump.

In a statement, the network said, "CNN has terminated our agreement with Kathy Griffin to appear on our New Year's Eve program."

The images sparked huge controversy online with many accusing the comic of taking the joke too far.  

Donald Trump also weighed in, saying the joke was particularly offensive to his 11-year-old son, Barron. 

Kathy then took to Twitter to apologise for her actions admitting, ''I went too far. I was wrong.''

In the video she said: "The image is too disturbing. I understand how it offends people… I get it."

"I beg for your forgiveness. I went too far. I made a mistake, and I was wrong."

The comic was also dismissed by a casino in New Mexico where she was scheduled to perform her stand-up show on July 22.

Last week, Ed Sheeran fans were left confused after Russell Crowe referred to Ed's girlfriend Cherry as his financeé during an interview.

Had he secretly proposed?

Since when are Ed and Russell such good friends?

So many unanswered questions. 

Well, Ed has finally addressed the speculation, revealing that Russell must have just ''assumed'' that he and Cherry were planning to get married.

During an interview with Sydney's Nova969 he explained, ''You know, he's only met Cherry once and I didn't introduce her.''

''I didn't say anything. I think he just assumed. But no, we're not engaged.''

Ed has previously admitted he and Cherry are "on the path" to marriage but they have no plans to tie the knot just yet.

He also revealed that Russel emailed him to apologise for the slip up, but we can't imagine he was too happy about the situation. 

The singer is notoriously private when it comes to sharing details about his personal life with the media.

He'd much rather write a hit song about it instead.

Please say it's true! 

The rumour mill is in overdrive today after Taboo, a member of the Black Eyed Peas, listed Oasis in the line-up for Sunday night's Manchester attack benefit concert.

Of course, fans went wild at the thoughts of a reunion with one even exclaiming: ''If oasis are playing at one love Manchester im selling my family to go.'' 

While another wrote, ''Have -£0 to my name but watch me go to Manchester for Oasis.''

 

Rumours of a possibly Gallagher brother reunion have been doing the rounds for the last few weeks, with may fans believing their relationship may be on the mend after Liam sent out a tweet wishing Noel a happy birthday.

If the rumours are true, it will be the first time the feuding brothers have performed together since the band's split on 2009 – and what better time to do it?

However, the speculation looks set to continue as Taboo later deleted the tweet and apologised for any confusion.  

The three-hour long concert will be held at Manchester's Old Trafford cricket ground almost two weeks after the attack at the Manchester Arena took place.

Coldplay, Take That, Niall Horan, Usher, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus and Pharell William will all join Ariana on stage in an effort to to raise much needed proceeds and pay tribute to victims and their families.

Tickets go on sale on Thursday June 1 at 10am, with proceeds from the event going towards the We Love Manchester Emergency Fund.

For those of us not lucky enough to be there, the three-hour long show will air on BBC on Sunday night from 7:15pm, and donations can be mage through the We Love Manchester JustGiving page.

A Belgian university has been forced to apologise after asking it's female students to wear ''low-cut'' tops to their graduation ceremony.

The medical faculty of the Free University of Brussels sent an email to graduates suggesting what they should wear to the event.

“From an aesthetic point of view it’s preferable for the young women to wear a dress or a skirt along with a nice low-cut neckline, and the men a suit.”

They added, “of course, ladies, this advice is not compulsory”. – Gee, thanks.

A screen shot of the email was posted on an unofficial university Facebook page called ULB Confessions, where it was immediately inundated with comments from anger students.

One user wrote, ''is this a joke? They are graduates of medicine and everything that we're asking them is to show their chest?'', while another added,  “Imagine if the ULB suggested that the male graduates wore a low-cut shirt. Preposterous.”

The university later responded saying, ''Hello, the Dean of medicine has noted yesterday of this message moved who enters in contradiction with the values and habits of the ulb. He immediately sent an email of apology, on behalf of the faculty, to all the students who received these instructions.''
