Beyoncé is proving that she essentially runs the world this week, with her shock pregnancy announcement breaking the internet last night. 

The pop icon announced that she is pregnant with twins in a surprise post on Instagram.

Many fans were quick to point out how amazing the star looked in the image, with a green veil draped over her face and one had cradling her bump as she posed in lingerie in a field of faux flowers.

Treating her fans to yet more surprises, the star has released the rest of the images from her pregnancy photo shoot over on her website.

In a series of posts entitled I Have Three Hearts, a nod to the fact that she is carrying twins, the star poses both nude and in underwear against a variety of backdrops.

Five-year-old Blue Ivy also features in some of the shots.

The mum proved that she definitely does not do pregnancy announcements by halves, as she posted a series of poems about motherhood alongside the shots. 

"Mother is a cocoon where cells spark, limbs form," one begins.

"Mother swells and stretches to protect her child, mother has one foot in this world, one foot in the next, mother, black venus."

Some of the images were ven shot underwater, proving that even a pregnant Queen B loves an artistic photo shoot.

We can't wait to see what else B is bringing in the wake of her announcement.

This is mad.

We've seen our fair share of celebrity stranger twins over the past few years, but along with Ariana Grande's doppleganger, this one has to take the biscuit.

During the Christmas holidays Cara Delevingne shared a photo of her dad back in the day on Instagram – and it turns out he has an total look-a-like.

More than a month later, American student Seth Hamby, saw the photo and proceeded to post a side-by-side snap of him and Cara's dad, Charles.

They're insanely similar.

However, the Internet didn't leave it at that, and now everyone thinks Seth is a time-traveller:

You never know.

We only have a few more weeks until we say goodbye to Girls, but as it turns out, we shouldn't be bidding farewell forever, as a movie could be on the cards.

Fans of the show have been gearing up for its departure after almost five years, but along with sadness may come excitement as Lena wants the show to go feature-length.

The Girls creator is pretty certain the flick will be coming to a cinema near you, but admits that it might be a while, because she wants the cast to grow and be in different places in their lives.

Speaking to the Hollywood Reporter, Girls showrunner, Jenni Konner, said: “We feel like no one necessarily needs to hear from us right now. But if someone wants to do the movie, we'll do it.”

“I'd just want to leave enough space so that we are finding them in a super different place than we left them," said Lena in a separate interview.

We're already excited about this.

Tickets for Ed Sheeran's two Dublin gigs as part of his worldwide Divided tour sold out in mere minutes. 

Thousands of despairing fans have taken to Twitter in the hours since the gig sold out to express their disappointment.

However all might not be lost, as Ed is being hotly tipped by the bookies to keep his Irish tour rolling.

BoyleSports are offering odds of 1/3 that the superstar will add one more appearance to his Dublin line up, according to the Irish Mirror.

The odds of him adding two extra dates is priced at 4/7. 

The potential additions to the tour make sense, as the singer is taking a three day break between his Dublin and Glasgow gigs, so perhaps Ed will add another date to satiate his Irish fans.

The singer-songwriter is also tipped to play Electric Picnic at  9/4 odds.

Fans camped out overnight to be in with a chance of purchasing the highly coveted tickets. 

While we're keeping our fingers crossed that Ed does decide to add another date, Ticketmaster tweeted back one dismayed fan that there will be "just the two dates" for the line up.

Here's to hoping they change their minds!

Sex and the City entertained us with the antics of Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda and Samantha for the best part of a decade, and now Instagram page Every Outfit on SATC keeps us amused with throw backs to some of the foursome's fiercest looks.

The hugely popular page has recently branched out into creating merchandise on their SATC shop, Miranda Solidarity

While having a browse, we spotted a very saucy surprise nestled amongst the Carrie tees and Miranda tote bags.

The store is selling sex positive Samantha Condom Gift Sets, the perfect gag gift for Galentine's Day.

Entertain the Samantha of your group with this gas gift, which includes a SATC-themed "Do Not Disturb" door hanger.

Each condom comes in individual pink and leopard print cardboard packaging, perfect for keeping in your clutch bag. 

The set comes wih five condoms, one for every NYC borough. 

"Samantha Condoms are made of FDA-approved premium latex and are lubricated, obvi," says the site.

Better safe than sorry, and who better to promote safe sexual encounters than the character who furthered the cause of female sexuality back in the 90s.

When it comes to the various methods employed by celebrities to keep their weight in check, Kendall Jenner's may be one of the most peculiar we've ever heard.

The model, who has walked for the likes of Marc Jacobs and Victoria's Secret, recently informed her fans and followers that her interior decor has more to do with her desire to stop snacking, and less to do with the aesthetics of her home.

We know, we were fairly baffled too.

Revealing the details on her app, Kendall explained how the decision to decorate in order to stave off the munchies came about.

"While I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do with the room, I went for dinner with friends and they had just gone to the Human Condition exhibition at a former hospital in LA," she wrote.

"They were telling me there's a pink room at the exhibit that had an explanation of the colour choice: Baker-Miller Pink is the only colour scientifically proven to calm you and suppress your appetite."

"I was like 'I need this colour in my house!'" she added.

Oh, how things can change in the space of 24 hours for a chocolate-lover.

While yesterday we celebrated the Malteaser Teaser going it alone, today we're being forced to consider the unlikely combination of chocolate… and sushi.

But after research aplenty, we've decided this may actually be something we can get on board with because – for the most part – these delicacies are actually sweet.

The idea, which started as an April Fool's joke last year, gained momentum over recent months, and resulted in a speciality store in Japan creating and serving the KitKat sushi delicacy.

So for those of you still reading, the delicacies will come in three flavours;  Maguro, Tamago and Uni.

According to reports, Maguro is raspberry flavoured Kit Kat on puffed rice covered with white chocolate – definitely something we'd try.

And then it gets a little fishier…

Uni has both melon and mascarpone cheese-flavoured Kit Kats wrapped in seaweed while Tamago is pumpkin pudding-flavoured, served on puffed rice covered in white chocolate and wrapped with seaweed.

Oh, and all three varieties have a hint of wasabi.

Perhaps given the unlikely combinations, the delicacies will only be available at Tokyo's newest KitKat Chocolatory shop between February 2 and 4 this year.

Maybe it'll catch on…

The entire country held it's breath as 10am approached, and hundreds of thousands of Ticketmaster tabs were opened in the hopes of getting tickets to the most hotly anticipated gig of the year.

You LOL-ed at the hardcore zealots queuing up in the rain over night for tickets, "sure have they no internet or something?" you thought.

And now you are ticket-less, having joined the throng of thousands of online buyers who failed to get through to Ticketmaster before the gig sold out.

Tragedy has struck and you are still raging from the emotional roller coaster. 

1. Hope

The stomach churning moments up to 10am have passed, and you are finally being held in the ticket queue. 

You haven't been this nervous since getting your Leaving Cert results, and though you say "I know I haven't a hope of getting them," you are secretly clinging to an intense, hopeful yearning.

It's like the lotto right? It could be you. 

2. False hope

OH MY GOD you're through. 

Okay, time to choose your preferred seating and number of tickets. 

Fingers, toes, and everything else remains crossed.

3. Denial

"Sorry, there are no tickets of this type available."

Cue manic laughter as you frantically refresh the page, change your preference to tiered seating and think "someone might have let their tickets go when they saw the bloody price, it's possible right? Right?"

4. Despair

"Why have you forsaken me cruel world?"

"What have I done to deserve this cosmic ridicule? Am I not a good and kind person, a contributing member of society who deserves to see Ed live?"

5. Anger

At this point you've Snapchatted your friends, who are possibly still stuck in the despair tier of emotion, a picture of the sold out gig on Ticketmaster and you are RAGING.

"Why didn't I queue up in the lashing rain at 2am like I told myself I should have?"

6. Anger at Ed

Like, hello Ed Sheeran? 

You know you are beloved in Ireland and you teased us mercilessly since your return with your Irish-themed album.

There's even a song called Galway Girl for crying out loud, you should have know that you would have sold out a full week of gigs never mind two poxy nights in the 3 Arena. 

7. Acceptance

Even though we all know you're lying you yourself and everyone else, saying that you don't care that you didn't get tickets to the gig of the year can help soften the sting.

And you'll see it all on Snapchat, right?
