Yearly Archives: 2017

We first saw them on the runway of the Marni Spring/Summer 2013 show, but blurred lips are BACK, and better than ever. 

That's right ladies, blurred lipstick is set to be one of 2017's biggest beauty trends, and we are loving it. 

Last year brought use finely lined lips (Kylie Jenner, we love your work), and perfectly precise pouts. 

This year is going to be a little bit more grunge, with an almost smudged effect taking over the beauty-sphere.

According to Cosmopolitan, you must "start off by dabbing some concealer on the outer edges of your lips. Then apply a lipstick in the colour of your choice to the centre of your lips."

Using a bold shade, "use your fingers or a lip brush to lightly pat some more lipstick on the rest of your lips. This will help to create a gradient effect where it looks like the lipstick fades into your skin."

How FAB-U-LOUS are these?

She wasn't the first one to do it, and she certainly won't be the last, but Lola Kirke's decision not to shave her armpits ahead of the Golden Globes has attracted a worrying amount of coverage among the press and public.

And while many have celebrated Lola's decision, it seems a certain section of society believe an unshaven female armpit warrants a death threat.

In a post which stunned fans and followers this week, the actress took to Instagram to address the 'controversy', and made reference to the negative backlash she had received in the wake of her red carept walk.

Sharing a photo of herself on the night Lola wrote: "Ok, Now I'm really ready. Thanks to all you beautiful people that didn't send me death threats on account of my awesome hairy armpits."

Refusing to dwell on the drama which followed her appearance, the Mozart in the Jungle actress decided, instead, to pay tribute to the individuals who helped her prep for the big night.

"And thank you @susanwinget for always making me feel cool and @reginaharris for my make up, @blakeerik for my hair and @andrewgn for my kickass dress!" she wrote.

Stunned by the star's admission, fans and followers wasted no time expressing their disbelief over her revelation.

 

Red carpet ready!

"Why are ppl so amazed by this like wow hairy pits? I'm inspired," wrote one while another remarked: "Beautiful human!!! Thanks for trying to change this patriarchal society!"

"As Kelly Le Brock said in those old commercials, "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful." Glad you're refusing to be shamed by the demented and confused," added another.

Unfortunately, not everyone was on the same page, with one Instagram user writing; " So flashing disgusting armpit hair is somehow gona change womens rights or equality or whatever, find other ways , not this bullsh*t."

Can't school everyone.

The occupiers of Apollo House will finally leave the building this morning, as one of Ireland's most supported and well publicised acts of guerrilla activism comes to an end. 

The Home Sweet Home initiative has said that it will move the residents to an undisclosed location.

More than 10 residents stayed in the building overnight as several returned from alternate accommodation they'd been provided by the government, which was deemed "unsafe" and "unsuitable."

They will leave the building this morning to comply with the High Court order to vacate, which came into effect at noon on Wednesday. 

"It is regrettable that in recent days the state has failed to take this opportunity to publicly support this effort to address a national emergency." said the Home Sweet Home initiative. 

"The Apollo House building, because of High Court Action, is not suitable for residents who need to access support services who can't get in."

"We are moving our residents to somewhere they will be able to access services. We are staying with them and continue to advocate for them."

"We will ensure that all of the matters agreed with Minister Coveney will be delivered and will continue our Emergency Housing Plan delivery."

Anyone still inside Apollo House in Dublin could be held in contempt of court, if they haven't vacated the homeless safe haven by the time the High Court is updated this morning.

Yesterday, the court refused to grant an extension to an order to leave the NAMA owned building.

A convoy of taxis are currently moving the residents to their new digs.

We had been warned that wintry conditions were set to hit the island – and it's now official: it's SNOWING in Ireland.

One caller told 2fm's Breakfast Republic that a bit of a blizzard is going on in Wicklow, while others around the country have been posting snaps of their own mini winter wonderlands on social media.

Kristine Boyd is this morning in Belfast – where the snow is coming down fast and heavy.

And Maeve McGrath in Kerry captured her dog on a snowy walk this morning. 

There is also snowfall in Tipperary.

As well as in Ballymena in Co. Antrim.

Met Éireann has said that it will be "very cold today," with "some hill snow in places" which "will turn increasingly to sleet and snow at lower levels this morning, mainly over Ulster, Connacht and west Munster and in remaining areas this afternoon and evening."

And if that wasn't enough to make you want to hibernate, it adds: "Some thunderstorms are likely to develop also. Top afternoon temperatures of just 2 to 4 C., and feeling colder in the strengthening west to northwesterly wind."

Brrrrrrrrrr!

Lets not beat around the bush, we all love Nutella, whether it be in a crepe, on toast or even alone on a spoon.

So imagine our devastation when we read a study that claims that one of Nutella's main ingredients, palm oil, is carcinogenic. 

The report, by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), claims that palm oil is more cancer-causing than any other oil when refined at temperatures above 200 degrees, as it often is in the food processing industry.

However, the study did not recommend that consumers stop eating it (thank goodness) as further research into the area is required.

Nutella producer Ferrero has taken a public stand to defend the ingredient, after some companies have called for a boycott of the cheap oil. 

"Making Nutella without palm oil would produce an inferior substitute for the real product, it would be a step backward," Ferrero's purchasing manager Vincenzo Tapella told Reuters.

Nutella relies on the oil to help create its smooth, spreadable texture and maintain its shelf life. 

In order to counteract the 3 percent dip in sales that Nutella has seen since the publication of the palm oil report, the company has released a TV ad discussing the studys findings and reassuring customers that its spread is safe.

"The palm oil used by Ferrero is safe because it comes from freshly squeezed fruits and is processed at controlled temperatures," Tapella says in the ad. 

Well thank god for that.

Paris Jackson was adamantly against the casting of Joseph Fiennes as her father, Michael Jackson, in an upcoming Sky Arts television movie Urban Myths.

The teen spoke out about the casting of Fiennes, to the point where she called it 'disgusting.'

Fans were shocked by Fiennes’ appearance as Jackson as the trailer for the movie launched this week. 

“I’m so incredibly offended by it, as I’m sure plenty of people are as well,” Paris responded on Twitter when asked for her thoughts on the portrayal.

"It makes me want to vomit."

The TV movie focuses on an alleged road trip across America that Michael Jackson took with Elizabeth Taylor and Marlon Brando after 9/11.

A debate arose on Twitter when the casting of the film was originally released about the fact that MJ would be played by a white mad despite his African-American heritage.

“Where is the respect? They worked through blood sweat and tears for ages to create such profound and remarkable legacies. Shameful portrayal,” Paris continued.

“He made a point of it plenty of times to express his pride in his roots. He would never have wanted this.”

“It angers me to see how obviously intentional it was for them to be this insulting, not just towards my father, but my godmother liz as well," she finished.

“It is part of a series of comedies about unlikely stories from arts and cultural history. Sky Arts gives producers the creative freedom to cast roles as they wish, within the diversity framework which we have set,” Sky Arts previously told People.

Two months after his split with Victoria's Secret model Bella Hadid, the Weeknd was spotted out on a date with singer Selena Gomez. 

The Cant Keep My Hands To Myself singer and the Weekend were seen kissing behind a dumpster (not very Hollywood glam) in Los Angeles. 

The pair were photographed cuddling as they walked down the street and were generally acting like a cutsie loved up couple.

Bella Hadid isn't too happy about this, and understandably unfollowed Selena on Instagram. 

However she still follows her ex The Weeknd, real name Abel Tesfaye. 

Just in case you want to have a quick creep, right Bella? 

Bella and The Weeknd dated for almost two years after they met in back in April 2015 when Bella agreed to pose for the Canadian musician's album artwork for the Beauty Behind The Madness.

The pair split two months ago, reportedly due to hectic work schedules. 

Their schedules became synchronised at the Victoria's Secret fashion show in December, when The Weeknd performed a string of his most popular hits while Bella stormed the catwalk.

Selena Gomez aso performed at the event.

We know he can spit a rap in Drop The Mic and multitask in Carpool Karoke, but how would James Corden fare when faced with a real-life Tony Award-winner in a Broadway Riff-Off?

The answer to that is pretty damn well if his recent musical exchange with Neil Patrick Harris is anything to go by.

Going head to head with the much-loved How I Met Your Mother star, James reminded us that when it comes to musical theatre, he really knows his stuff.

Clocking up more than 1.3 million views in just over a day, James and Neil had YouTubers falling all over themselves as they tackled classic Broadway hits.

And we'll let the lads take it from here…

Following persistent rumours in recent months that Russia had fixed the Republican campaign, and were bribing Donald Trump, the President Elect has hit back.

Yesterday CNN dropped the news that Russia had compromising information on the new President.

However, Trump has dismissed the allegations as “utter nonsense” and branded it a "witch hunt".

According to CNN, the information was delivered to Trump, along with former President Barack Obama last week.

The pair were shown documents gathered by a former MI6 agent which outlined that Russian agents had obtained X-rated content of the soon-to-be White House resident.

In addition, it was alleged that the Russian operatives had been communicating with the Trump campaign during the election.

Buzzfeed published the unverified documents on their website, stating they wanted Americans to “make up their own minds”.

"The dossier, which is a collection of memos written over a period of months, includes specific, unverified, and potentially unverifiable allegations of contact between Trump aides and Russian operatives, and graphic claims of sexual acts documented by the Russians.”

"BuzzFeed News is publishing the full document so that Americans can make up their own minds about allegations about the president-elect that have circulated at the highest levels of the US government.”

Senior Trump adviser, Kellyanne Conway, has dismissed the memos, as unverified and untrue on Late Night with Seth Meyers.
