The Victoria's Secret fashion show took place last weekend, and the controversy surrounding the event has been mounting ever since, despite the fact that it hasn't even been aired yet.

Ed Razek, chief marketing officer of L Brands (VS's parent company) threw caution (and tact) to the wind in his exclusive Vogue interview about the fashion show, which first began in 1995.

The public were less than impressed, to say the least, about his statements regarding transgender models in his 'fantasy' show, as well as his attitude towards Rihanna's ground-breaking Savage x Fenty lingerie show.

Razek was quizzed about the lack of diversity in his own show, which features predominantly skinny, cisgender white models, and had more than a few things to say on the matter:

"Do I think about diversity? Yes. Does the brand think about diversity? Yes. Do we offer larger sizes? Yes….Shouldn’t you have transsexuals in the show? No. No, I don’t think we should. Well, why not? Because the show is a fantasy."

As you can imagine, this caused major drama, as it appears to imply that transgender models are not part of the 'fantasy' world of Victoria's Secret.

Razek later issued an apology regarding his comments about transgender models, which wasn't received well:

His outspoken opinions on the 'fantasy' which excluded transgender models were not the only bone of contention. Razek also shared his own thoughts on Rihanna's phenomenally successful show:

"It’s a 42-minute entertainment special. That’s what it is. It is the only one of its kind in the world, and any other fashion brand in the world would take it in a minute, including the competitors that are carping at us."

"They carp at us because we’re the leader. …We’re their first love. And Victoria’s Secret has been women’s first love from the beginning."

"Everybody keeps talking about Rihanna’s show. If we had done Rihanna’s show, we would be accused of pandering without question."

Blogger and influencer Louise O'Reilly (@StyleMeCurvy) spoke out about the contentious chief marketing director in a tweet, which Bad Gal Riri LIKED.  The shade.

Her show featured a huge range of models ranging in size and ethnicity, as well as ability. Pregnant model and long-time Fenty ambassador Slick Woods walked the show while nine months pregnant.

Rihanna has yet to officially comment on the Victoria's Secret fashion show, but we highly doubt she'd be impressed by the now-infamous Vogue interview.

To think, it was only back in 2012 that Rihanna performed at the fashion show herself… how time flies.

2018 is a whole other fashion show ball game it seems.

It's the kind of love you don't expect to last in the hills of Hollywood – and yet, Chrissy Teigen and John Legend are defying all the odds.

Their love gives us hope as their relationship has just grown from strength to strength.

Chrissy was honoured at the Glamour magazine’s women of the year awards, and John took to the stage to express how proud he is of her – and it was just perfect.

We need a man like John to gush over us and make a special night, that little bit extra amazing – Chrissy is a lucky lady. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by chrissy teigen (@chrissyteigen) on

Starting with some spicy humour, John introduced himself as a “trophy husband.”

But he quickly turned his attention to Chrissy, describing her as a star and the “heart and soul of the family”.

"I am very much in love with this woman…But I’m not the only one who loves her. Many millions of people who aren’t married or related to her love her too," he confessed to the crowd.

“Everywhere I go, I meet people, fans, who used to ask me for an autograph or tell me how much they love my music. Now, the number one comment I get from people who used to be my fans is how much they love Chrissy. She gets bigger cheers than I do at my own concerts. They love her," he added.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by chrissy teigen (@chrissyteigen) on

John touched on why he thinks she's such a hit with fans and has captured the hearts of millions around the world – and he hit the nail on the head.

He gushed: “People love her honesty. Her humour. Her beauty and style. Her passion for food. Her sense of adventure and fun. And they love her big, beautiful heart."

"The heart she wears on her sleeve. She inspires so many people and so many women. I mean, she’s the kind of woman you write songs about.”

And John did just that in 2013 and wrote the smash hit All of Me, which was all about Chrissy – ugh, yay for love.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by John Legend (@johnlegend) on

The 39-year-old couldn't finish up his speech without mentioning Chrissy's bad*ss online presences. 

He said: “I think the world may have missed out on Chrissy’s full awesomeness if it weren’t for social media. She would have never fully shone the way she does if she were filtered by publicists and handlers.

“Chrissy’s biggest impact may be the way she proves that just by being the person you are, you can make a difference. Being who you are, unapologetically, you can make a difference.”

 “I am amazed by the woman that you’ve become. And I’m truly glad that the rest of the world has finally found out about it, too,” he finished.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by John Legend (@johnlegend) on

The two of them were emotional messes as the model accepted the award.

Chrissy described John as the "most incredible husband on the planet” and added that "you are our everything."

“I didn’t cry during our wedding. I hate you John, I really do,” she said, later on, still touched by the speech – adorable.

The pair shares two children together, two-year-old, Luna and six-month-old, Miles Theodore.

Chrissy and John have been together since 2007 and going from their moving words about each other, they've truly found something wonderful in one another.

We do believe in love, we do, we do.

Olivia Buckland has had enough of queries about when she and new husband Alex Bowen are going to start a family. 

The couple said I do on September 15, after meeting on Love Island back in 2016.

However, the newlyweds have since been plagued with the 'when’s the baby coming' question.

'We’ve always been questioned, because we were engaged for such a long time – we were engaged for longer of our relationship than not, so I think people started to assume we were engaged because we wanted to start a family,' Olivia told The Metro in their Fertility Month Series. 

Olivia explained how people still assume that marriage means having children, but that she feels there is much more she wants to do with her life. 

'I’m so career driven that I find it a little bit offensive when people keep asking me about having a child,' she said.

The reality TV star feels that while we have come on leaps and bounds as a society when it comes to sexism, women are still expected to want to have children by default. 

'One day, sure, there’s a chance we’ll have kids, but to be asked that constantly, it puts this expectation on you,' she told The Metro. 

'There’s more to life for women.'

It appears to be official – we have a new celebrity romance to get excited about.

And it's none other than the ride that is Channing tatum and pop superstar Jessie J.

An unlikely relationship perhaps, but one that seems to be going from strength to strength.

The 30-year-old took to Instagram to post about Channing's Magic Mike show in London. 

She posted a snap of the saucy stage production with the caption, ''Congratulations @channingtatum What a show…. Ladies and Gentlemen you don't want to miss this."

Jessie added several emojis including a tongue face and a cheeky aubergine. 

This seems to confirm reports that the pair are an item, as Channing has been spotted at two of Jessie's recent concerts in Seattle and Salt Lake City.

The 38-year-old actor is single since he announced his separation from wife Jenna Dewan

The couple had been together for 12 years after meeting on the set of Step Up in 2006, and marrying three years later. 

At the time, they stated that, "We’re living in an incredible moment in time, but it’s also a time where truth can easily get distorted into 'alternative facts' so we want to share the truth so you know that if you didn't read it here then it’s most certainly fiction.''

"We have lovingly chosen to separate as a couple. We fell deeply in love so many years ago and have had a magical journey together.”

Well, it seems that Channing has found love again – and we wish him and Jessie all the best.

Ariana has had one hell of a year.

But now, she is ready to leave all the sh*ttiness behind and embrace what's to come next.

The 25-year-old took to Twitter to express how grateful she is for the ''painful and yet beautiful and exciting chapter of life'' in the wake of her shock split from her fiance, comedian Pete Davidson. 

She wrote to her 58 million Twitter followers, ''when it rains it pours but i’m embracing all of it.''

She continued, 'I'm excited for whatever else the universe has in store for me.''

The pop star went on to thank her friends, who recently threw her a surprise party.

She wrote, ''Thank u to my best friends who have helped me turn the literal sourest of lemons into the sweetest pink ass lemonade ever @victoriamonet @tbhits @taylaparx clink clink bitch.''

So sweet!

She also responded to a fan's message and said, ''I honestly wouldn't have been able to continue at all or process any of it as well without u as my motivation. ‘so thank u for holding my hand thru it all, wether u could feel it or not.''

These tweets come after she split with Pete after a whirlwind four-month relationship.

At first it seemed that shade was being thrown by both parties, with Pete poking fun at his former fiancee in a Saturday Night Live skit and Ari tweeting, ''For somebody who claims to hate relevancy u sure love clinging to it huh.''

Now however, the pair appear to have dropped their feud, with Pete saying that Ariana is ''a wonderful, strong person and I genuinely wish her all the happiness in the world.''

We can't keep up – but we do say keep that chin up Ariana.

The teaser trailer for Toy Story 4 has finally landed and we are so unbelievably excited. We couldn’t quite believe that the franchise was returning with a fourth instalment, especially at how final the third movie felt. It was the perfect goodbye, but alas Woody, Buzz and co. are back and we must admit we’re only thrilled to see them.

The fourth movie will follow Woody as he struggles to deal with being replaced by another toy. Pixar revealed: "Woody has always been confident about his place in the world and that his priority is taking care of his kid, whether that's Andy or Bonnie. But when Bonnie adds a reluctant new toy called 'Forky' to her room, a road trip adventure alongside old and new friends will show Woody how big the world can be for a toy."

The teaser trailer gives fans a glimpse at the gang who appear to be in a spot of bother. New toy Forky begins to freak out in the clip which causes the other toys to panic.

We are counting down the days to Toy Story 4 and June 21, 2019, seriously needs to hurry up.

Tim Allen who voices Buzz Lightyear warned fans about the upcoming movie, saying we'll be sobbing from start to finish.

He said the storyline is incredibly great, but he struggled to get through some scenes because he was fighting back the tears.

If you've ever had the pleasure of sitting around a table with a few generations of your family, you may have noted the different pronunciation of words.

They can vary depending on where you come from in Ireland, but I do enjoy my nana's Longford take on 'cooker' and 'book.'

However, the correct pronunciation of words can cause some serious family conflict – and we have a few more words to add to the list to spice up the next family get-together.

That is according to new research conducted by Huawei, as they have uncovered words that as a nation we constantly get wrong.

Don't look so smug though as you are probably one of the people mispronouncing them.

Sadhbh took the top spot for the most regularly mispronounced names in Ireland – get your tongue around that one.

In fact, 25 percent of survey respondents confessed to butchering the name.

Caoimhe, Muireann, Tadgh and Blaithnaid closely followed behind as names we politely murder with our feeble attempts – sorry.

We all know that pretentious pr*ck chowing down on the trendiest international cuisine and we get corrected immediately on the right way to pronounce it.

Acai bowls are the perfect example of this, they made their debut in Ireland a few years ago.

Thanks to YouTubers, we as a nation struggled and continue to do so, to get our mouths around how on earth we say it right – don't feel bad though, there's Youtube videos dedicated to its pronunciation. 

Huawei's research showed that Acai, Worcestershire and Quinoa were the most mispronounced foods in Ireland – so get ready for the family fights.

However, in light of collecting the data – they set the record straight for a pronunciation close to their own heart.

They finally settled how we should be saying Huawei – and FYI it's "wah-way"

Sure, as long as you say any of the words with an unjustified sense of confidence – you'll be grand.

Since the moment the clock stuck midnight on October 31, the Christmas season is upon us.

Well, some people argue that December is the only month allowed for the Santa hype train to leave the station, but we totally disagree. The Christmas tunes are blaring, ChristmasFM is almost back up and running, and the greatest jumpers are already in stores right now.

Finding the funniest, most glamorous or just plain ugly Christmas styles can be a tricky task. We've only gone and done you the favour of finding all the best ones. Thank us later, a Christmas card will do. Or maybe some mulled wine and mistletoe?

THE EXCITEMENT.

1. The drinking game jumper

First up, we've got an actual drinking game in woolly jumper form. There literally is nothing else as magical. Tipsy Elves have gifted us with this joy, order it from Amazon for €45 and you'll be the life of every festive party. 

They even have the rules for the game printed on the back so you won't forget, and it comes with six balls for you and your pals. Hint: the bulls eye results in the entire party drinking. Good luck with that one…

2. The Jesus jumper

Up next, we have a Jesus Christ birthday jumper from Uppers and Downers, the current price is €59.

To be fair, the Christian holiday is supposed to be celebrating the religious day of Jesus' birth, so the fact that his face is on a jumper isn't unheard of.

It is most definitely unconventional however, especially seeing as he is sporting a birthday hat, a red balloon and a dove. To each their own, we say.

3. The Tupac tribute

Next, we've got an actual Tupac Christmas jumper. We didn't think it was possible either, but Tipsy Elves have only gone and done it.

Get your official "Only Santa can judge me" jumper for €35.50 from Amazon, and rest assured you will be the talk of the hip-hop town.

The resemblance between Tupac and Mr. Claus is uncanny… sort of…

4. The gin-lovers jumper

Gin lovers, this one is going to rock your world. Not On The High Street have released an exclusive Christmas jumper dedicated to a stunning gin pun.

GINgle Bells: we truly want to shake hands with whoever thought of this as a Christmas jumper concept, it's pure GINius.

It won't break the bank either, the website are releasing it for just €37, excluding shipping from the UK.

Get on this one ASAP, we have a feeling plenty of Bombay Sapphire, Cork Dry and Hendricks fans will be racing to purchase it..

5. The glow in the dark jumper

This next festive fashion piece looks pretty normal at first glance. That is, until the lights go off. The white material turns fluorescent green and the red material reverts to black, so there will be no difficulty in spotting you once night falls.

Yes, Jolly have legitimately created a GLOW IN THE DARK Christmas jumper. For an absolute steal as well; it's only €32.

If you are desperate to light up the party, this is the one for you. 

6. The Brexit jumper

This next offer is tongue-in-cheek with a heavy dose of politics: Teespring have created a jumper based around Brexit. Seriously.

It's currently priced at €32.16, and has already gained traction online due to the controversy of the UK situation.

Will you be that person at the Christmas party who has one glass of mulled wine and engages in serious political debate throughout the night?

7. The Make Christmas Great Again jumper

This next one is yet another political figure reference, wear it if you dare.

Yes, someone genuinely took it upon themselves to design a jumper around Donald Trump. As if his face doesn't bombard us in every other domain…

Cloud City 7 appear to want to stoke some light-hearted Christmas cheer through a dash of controversy, for just €31 (delivery not included.) Keep the change, ya filthy animals.

 8. The Game of Thrones jumper

We are MAJOR fans of this next one, inspired by Game of Thrones, of course.

Funky Christmas Jumpers online are releasing this magical themed jumper for just €44.99

The twist on the classic phrase 'Winter is Coming' has us GASPING for Christmas (and the final ever season of the show, no biggie). 

We recommend try building a Jon Snow-man to match the jumper, just' a thought.

9. The selfie jumper

The next joyous jumper we discovered is also from Funky Christmas Jumpers, and is about as millennial as they come.

A JESUS SELFIE jumper has indeed been created. Even more absurd, a COUPLES JESUS SELFIE jumper.

Stop the world, we're getting off.

10. The Tesco Value jumper

Last but not least, the Tesco Value Christmas jumper.

For those Christmas fans who want to keep things on the cheap, this offering is perfect for you.

We wonder if Supervalu, Dunnes Stores, Lidl or Aldi will release their own versions? Competition is healthy, folks.

There you have it, 2018's latest and greatest Christmas jumpers.

Grab yours in time for December you can wear it 25 days straight, that's our plan. 

Which will you choose? Happy shopping, gals.

Cheryl has been grabbing headlines as her new single Love Made Me Do It has created quite a stir on social media.

However, it wasn't really related to her music, but more about how much Cheryl's face has changed.

After an appearance at Capital Radio, fans were so confused about her new look, and speculation about cosmetic surgery quickly started to spread like wildfire.

One Twitter user commented: "Why does Cheryl’s entire face look different?"

Now look, we don't care if people enjoy cosmetic surgery – more power to you, but I think the majority of people on the Internet were just shocked at the radical change.

However, the 35-year-old denied the rumours and said her appearance was simply down to lack of sleep.

"Still had a pillow crease on my face this morning for my Capital interview. Guess that’s what happens when you go to sleep at 2 and wake up at 5.30,” she said.

However, today, the singer actually gave the real reason behind why she looks so different to The Sunday Times Style magazine – and it's kinda adorable.

The singer confessed that her son, Bear is responsible for her new look.

“My whole body, even my face, everything’s changed since Bear was born. But I feel like I’m better than who I was. I don’t care what my body looks like in that respect. I’m not obsessed about it," she said.

"I created a life! I’m amazed by myself. And I’m kinder to myself because of it. I focus less on my insecurities because they’re so much less relevant.”

Now, not everyone is totally convinced, despite her explanation, many of her followers didn't believe that pregnancy could change someone's physical appearance so drastically.

One user on Twitter said; "What do you think of Cheryl's new look? She says her face has changed since having a baby. I thought it would be down to fillers and botox and all, no?"

I have birthed a child and can confirm that my entire body changed after pregnancy – even my immune system did – however, I still look very much the same.

Could pregnancy be responsible for the change? It's possible. Did she have cosmetic surgery – it's also possible.

We will probably never know the full truth and that's okay – focus on her music, and not her face.

Miley Cyrus has been left 'devastated' at the loss of her beloved Malibu home to the California wildfires, it has been reported.

The wildfires have destroyed thousands of homes across the west coast of America, ravaging land and leaving 230 people missing and a death toll of 31 so far.

In a series of tweets on Sunday night, the 25-year-old pop star confirmed the news of her home's destruction, and has stated her gratitude for the survival of her pets and 'love of my life', Liam Hemsworth.

Her pets were safely removed from the premises, and the singer called for fans to donate to the emergency services to prevent any further damage at all costs, especially loss of life.

She took the time to thank those who are supporting the relief efforts:

"Sending so much love and gratitude to the firefighters and LA country Sheriff’s department! If you are interested in getting involved see next tweet…. Donate $ , Time , Supplies I love you more than ever , Miley."

Other celebrities whose homes have been affected include Gerard Butler, Simon Cowell, Kim Kardashian West, Lady Gaga, Robin Thicke and Neil Young.

Actor Gerard Butler shared footage of the wreckage surrounding his home on social media, saying it was a "heartbreaking time" for Californians.

Caitlyn Jenner revealed to fans that the fire came within metres of her home.

"It was devastating out here in Malibu," she told Instagram followers. "You can see the hills are totally scorched. We're very, very lucky."

The fires have burned collectively over more than 6500 square kilometres, the rough equivalent to half the size of Sydney. 

US President Donald Trump has blamed the horrific wildfires which engulfed the state on "gross mismanagement".

The estimated amount of people who have been forced to flee their homes is roughly 300,000.

To give assistance to the emergency services, donate to the Red Cross, The CCF Wildfire Relief Fund, Humane Society of Ventura County, Baby2Baby or the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation
