Beyoncé and Jay-Z clearly know the value in building a brand early, as Blue Ivy has already been tipped to create her own cosmetics line.

While we're all still hung up on the surprise announcement of Queen B's twins, it's Blue Ivy who is getting busy upping her business game. 

According to TMZ, Blue Ivy is en route to have her name trademarked for use in the goods and services industry.

Beyonce has put in a request to the United States Patent and Trademark Office to copyright the term Blue Ivy Carter for future business endeavours.

The name could be used for everything from fragrances to hair care to entertainment, music performances and films.

So potentially, there could be a Blue Ivy makeup line in the works. Kylie Jener, look out.

This isn't the first time the Carter-Knowles power couple have attempted to trademark their little ones name.

Back in 2012, their attempt to trademark the name was rejected as someone had already patented the term.

Hopefully they get the deal the second time around,as a Blue Ivy may want to start building her empire before the twins arrive.

Emoji's are a saving grace when it comes to our virtual exchanges.

From the smiling face that makes the snarky message to your house mate about dishes seem nonaggressive, to the toasting pints when you want to go out, emojis are a language of their own.

Which is why we weren't all that surprised when we discovered that certain emojis are the inspiration behind some of 2017's most unusual hair trends.

Makeup mogul and sister to Louis, Lottie Thomlinson just revealed her ode to the emoji in the form of an intricate hair tapestry.

While this look, created by the hair heroes at Bleach London, definitely isn't for everyone, festival season is fast approaching and we can think of no better way to hide our worse-for-wear festival hair.

Lottie went for a heart eyes emoji in her hair, and showed off the stand-out look on her Snapchat.

Bleach London first debuted the tapestry look a few months ago, and we've been waiting for it to make a come back ever since.

While it's definitely not the most wearable, the crochet emojis are so cute we may just have to try it for ourselves once Forbidden Fruit rolls around.

Another emoji getting a hair makeover is Kim K's favourite, the peach emoji.

Bleach Londons Awkward Peach perfectly mimics the subtle hue of the peach emoji, and it's definitely the ideal shade for summer.

Off to the hairdressers we go…

Last night's Celebrity Big Brother final left viewers shocked, as Coleen Nolan took the crown.

The Loose Women host was announced as the winner of the shows 19th season, beating out runners up Jedward and Kym Woodward.

She also won over contestants Bianca Gascoigne , Nicola McLean and James Cosmo. 

The 51-year-old was a runner up on the show when she first appeared as a house mate in 2012, but her unexpected win has divided CBB viewers. 

Jedward and Kym were the bookies favourites to win the entire show, so Coleen's win was definitely unprecedented.

The reactions on Twitter show that fans weren't entirely happy with the outcome.

Many felt that Coleen was undeserving of the title for being, as one viewer put it, "a bore."

However, clearly the fans were voting as the TV presented swooped in and took the title.

"Here I am, the winner of Celebrity Big Brother 2017, and that's all down to you, and I will never be able to thank you enough, from the bottom of my heart thank you so much," said the star, in a video tweeted out to her fans. 

This year's All Stars Vs New Stars concept was very popular, mixing new faces with CBB veterans, so we're already excited for the next season.

Let's be fair – we're the creators of the Shamrock Shake… well, McDonald's is, but Saint Paddy is our saint, after all.

And each year, to celebrate St Patrick's Day, the fast food chain whips up the infamous milkshakes to delight us all.

Even though it's just a beverage, the anticipation for it to hit the restaurant is pretty high – but this year it's going to be even better.

Yep, instead of just the one shake (that's so last year), Maccy D's is coming out with four new flavours, and we're already looking forward to tasting them.

According to Brand Eating, the new flavours are going to be chocolate, frappe, hot chocolate and mocha.

The frappe version features a chocolate chip frappe blended with the Shamrock Shake syrup, and the same whipped cream and chocolate syrup topping.

Now you can't beat that.

If you love cosmetic goodies and treating yo'self, then this charity event is right up your street.

Now, don't get us wrong, manicures and make-up are deadly, but the cause of this event is pretty admirable in itself.

100minds is a simple concept in which 100 students aim to raise €1000 each, in a combined effort to achieve €100,000. They also only have 100 days to raise the moola!

Niamh from Foof.ie is one of the students from 100minds and has organised an evening of all things beauty in order to accomplish her goal.

The night will include various make-up demonstrations, massages and manicures being carried out in the swanky Morgan Bar in Temple Street.

There's a few more surprises in store too, so for any make-up addict, it's not a night to be missed.

Niamh's goal for the night is to raise enough money for a new satellite classroom for St.Gabriel’s Ward in Temple Street Hospital. 

The children in this ward are recovering from brain injuries and a lot of the patients can be kept in hospital for a number of weeks or even months. 

With this satellite, it'll help those children to work and study, and not fall behind what their peers are learning in school.

The event will take place on February 8 2017, and if you want to purchase tickets, check out here. Tickets are priced at €15pp.

We all know that homelessness is a major crisis in Ireland, and apparently people sleeping on freezing streets is inspirational for one fashion designer.

New York Fashion Week: Men is currently underway, and N.Hoolywood, a Japanese brand, is facing serious backlash after their show.

The range commended the homeless for their inventiveness in how they dress, using blankets and sleeping bags as coats and plastic bags to protect shoes from water damage.

"As our designer travelled the cities of America, he witnessed the various ways in which people there lived on the streets and the knowledge they have acquired while doing so," said notes at the show according to Cosmo. 

"His observations of these so-called homeless or street people revealed them to be full of clever ideas for covering the necessities of life."

The models appeared on the runway touting black plastic rubbish bags, with extra garments artfully draped an tied over their shoulders.  

The clothes were oversized, highlighting the issue that homeless people have acquiring well fitting garments. 

The slogan "Outdoors, Be safe, Survive" was emblazoned on coats and plastic bags.

Advocates for the homeless and fashion critics alike have labelled the show "tasteless," "tone-deaf" and "insensitive."

"Hopefully,the proceeds from the sale of this collection will go to initiatives benefiting the homeless youth who inspired it," said one, though N. Hoollywood have not said that the sale of any of the items will go towards supporting homelessness services.

It's all a bit too close to Zoolander territory for us.

We all know the drill. We get a little bit too tipsy and start exclaiming our love for everyone under the sun – or do it the other way around and berate everyone under the sun…

Sigh.

We all wish we could take back those senseless messages… and well, now we all can. Finally.

So, if you've ever found yourself DMing you ex, your boss or your frenemy, you can now take it all back as if it never happened.

And it's pretty simple. All you have to do is hover over the Direct Message you sent and an 'unsend' option should come up. Click that and hey presto! Vanished forever.

However, if they've already seen the message, you can't erase it from their mind, so you know, be quick before you have to live with The Fear.

President Donald Trump seems to be very interested in how women dress and present themselves.

According to a report by Axios, Trump likes the women who work for him "to dress like women."

Twitter was quick to take this statement to have sexist implications, and quickly responded to the president's seemingly sexist standards.

After all, what does it really mean to "dress like a woman?" A skirt and high heels at all times?

Twitter users have been uploading pictures of themselves dressed like women, but probably not quite in the gender-typical way Trump meant.

The women are proving that females can be tough and feminine at the same time.

They are proving that their skills and worth are not effected by not dressing in a traditionally feminine fashion.

Women working for the Trump campaign reportedly felt pressure to wear dresses in order to impress the POTUS.

"Even if you're in jeans, you need to look neat and orderly," the source told Axios. 

According to Axios' source, looking the part is hugely important to Trump due to his history with TV work, and it applies to both men and women.

The source explains that guys "need to have a certain look" and "be sharply dressed", and that Trump has a particular obsession with ties.

While the alleged rules may also apply to men, Trump hasn't previously fat shamed men or made any comments about wishing to grab them by their genitalia, so the movement to educate the POTUS on what women wear day-to-day is more than reasonable.

After all, there are plenty of kick-ass women out there today who slay at what they do, with or without the skirt.

Now that the dust has settled somewhat on the absolute Hunger Games of a morning that saw the entire country attempting to nab some Ed Sheeran tickets, the reactions to the sold-out gig are pouring in. 

Most people are pretty outraged by the fact that the tickets we're sold out at one minute past 10, and the scourge that is Seatwave is taunting fans further by selling pairs of tickets for as much as €1408.86. We're serious. 

We've compiled a lost of the best reactions that pretty much sum up this whole Ed Sheeran ticket scrum in 180 characters or less.

1. This guy who's mixing metaphors like a pro.

2.  This poor soul who jumped the gun and got car park tickets instead of actual tickets.

3. Seriously, where are the people who managed to get tickets?

4. Preach.

5. The struggle was real.

6. Looks like we all got the same security question.

7. The real fans are up in arms.

8. We'd definitely fork out for that!

9. Hear hear!

10. Ah here, this is beyond ridiculous..

Taylor Swift and Zayn Malik's super sexy track, I Don't Wana Live Forever, for the upcoming Fifty Shades Darker was met with an even sexier music video during the week.

But now, the pair have released separate acoustic versions of the song – and we honestly don't know what one we prefer.

Each making it into a solo track, Taylor sings with her guitar in an open studio and looks super good while doing so:

And in Zayn's version, he is singing alone in a stripped down studio, and of course, has made the video into black and white, his signature stamp:

Which version do you prefer? We're LOVING Zayn's.
