Congratulations are in order for Conor McGregor, he was just been nominated for two ESPY Awards.

The awards, which are hosted by US TV network ABC, are for those who have succeeded in various sports around America.

Conor is up for Breakthrough Athlete of the Year as well as Fighter of the Year.

It's going to be a busy few months for the fighter as he's taking on Nate Diaz in UFC 202 on August 20.

Nate recently beat Conor in March, so it's going to be an unmissable match for The Notorious' fans.

We think it's safe to say that whenever anyone makes a mistake now, we're going to say they're pulling a Steve Harvey, after his Miss Universe debacle.

Well, Jamie Foxx pulled the ultimate Steve Harvey at the Golden Globes last night when he was presenting the award for Best Original Score. 

He announced the winner to Straight Outta Compton – who didn't actually win – and then quickly retracted his statement, repeating Steve's "it's right here on the card" apology speech.

Now, of course, Jamie was joking, and the winner, Ennio Morricone, composer of The Hateful Eight, wasn't even there to accept the award. 

Instead, the writer of the film, Quentin Tarantino, took to the stage to accept the award. But in classic Quentin fashion, he managed to annoy people while making his speech, and referenced "that ghetto" in a bad light during it. 

So, when Jamie went back on stage to welcome his daughter, Corinne, this year's Miss Golden Globe – he took the opportunity to shut down Mr Tarantino, questioning his "ghetto" comment for the whole world to see. 

And of course, fans reacted on Twitter to the slip:

A tint; a half head of highlights; a rinse – when it comes to hair, it's easy to fall into a major colour trap.

You rock the same old tresses year after year, and despite vowing to jazz things up with something a little more adventurous sticking to what you know is ever-tempting.

Which is why here at SHEmazing! we were SERIOUSLY inspired by the looks on offer at the recent Peter Mark Colour Trophy awards.

It's pretty much THE biggest night in the industry – and getting our hands on some snaps from the high-profile event has us pining for new locks.

Yup this is your official hairspiration alert: because if the international judging panel that flew in for the contest (fancy-pants) don't know what's what in the world of hair colour, then the rest of us are a total lost cause. 

The Colour Trophy winners

 

MC’d by the always dapper Darren Kennedy and held at the Double Tree Hilton Hotel in Dublin 4, an audience of some 700 gathered for the spectacle. 

On hand were the expert likes of Frederic Pavard (Alexandre de Paris), Gareth Williams (headmasters), Ian Brady (Cats), Patricia Strachan (L’Oreal) Holly O’Keefe (Peter Mark) and Michael Doyle (Peter Mark).

Young Colourist Of The Year, Sinead Keane

 

To rapturous applause, the Peter Mark Colour Trophy winners were announced as Lyndsey Corcoran and Danielle Brolly from Peter Mark Killiney. Meanwhile, the Peter Mark Young Colourist Of The Year was Sinead Keane, from Peter Mark Athlone. Finally, the Peter Mark Men’s Styling Award went to Rachel Flanagan, from the Market Cross, Kilkenny salon.

But for us, the high-point was the INCREDIBLE fashion show on the night. If you're in the market for something that's really going to turn heads – definitely take inspiration from the Peter Mark talent that was on offer last Sunday: #hairswoon…

In the aftermath of the 2014 Grammys – Taylor Swift was certainly courting plenty of attention, though not necessarily for the right reasons.

Although she was a performer on the night – as well as a high-profile nominee – the 25-year-old ultimately didn’t walk away with a coveted gong.

Worse still, video footage caught her bitter disappointment as it was announced that Daft Punk had beaten her, scooping the Grammy for Best Album.

"When they announced the Album Of The Year winner it was like, 'And the album of the year goes to… Reeeeeandom Access Memories, Daft Punk!'” Ms Swift has now explained.

“And they really dragged out the reeee…”

As her own nominated was entitled Red, there was understandably some momentary confusion. “For a second there, I kind of thought we had it, and we didn't.”

The disappointment meant the singer-songwriter wasn’t in the mood for partying. “I remember not going to afterparties,” Swifty added.

“I went home and I cried a little bit, and I got In-N-Out Burger and ate a lot.”

The songstress furthermore explained that prior to the ceremony, a load of fellow attendees had told her that she was definitely “gonna win”.

"I wish they wouldn't do that because you don't know if you're gonna win – someone else could very well win."

To add insult to injury, the Trouble singer in the aftermath sparked countless memes which captured her distress.

However, Tay-Tay went on to state that not winning a big award can actually prompt better music: "You can say, 'Maybe they're right – maybe I did not make the record of my career.'

“Maybe I need to fix the problem, which was that I have not been making sonically cohesive albums.

“I need to really think about whether I'm listening to a scared record label and what that's doing to the art I'm making."

At age 16 Ed Sheeran decided to drop out of school so he could spend more time dedicated to his music career. We feel like we’re not the only ones who might say he made a good call.

The chart-topping singer has been the recipient of many awards over the last year alone, and now he’s going to be adding another accolade to his mantel piece.

The University Campus Suffolk are honouring the 24-year old with a degree to recognise his outstanding contribution to music.

Ed said about the award: “I'm really grateful to University Campus Suffolk and I'm honoured to receive this Honorary Degree. I've had an amazing year with my world tour and this makes it even better.”

Ed has added that he would do his best to continue to support the university as they have done in the past for him and his music, reports the Daily Mail.

“Suffolk is very much where I call home and I'm always welcomed back and get so much support. Receiving this recognition is a real privilege.”

The Don’t singer has mentioned that he looks forward to “building links” with the university in the future.

This news comes just days after Ed hit the headlines when he unveiled his new giant tattoo.

The pop star was inundated with questions and queries when the media just couldn’t begin to fathom what prompted his decision.

 

Halfway and ouch

He took to twitter to set the record straight. He said he couldn’t understand “all this kerfuffle over a tattoo”.

He got the ink in order to commemorate his sell-out gigs at Wembley stadium and first revealed the body art in an Instagram post captioned “Halfway and ouch.”

We can only imagine, it is quite the piece of art.

Taylor Swift and Nicki Minaj are the latest celebs to air their dirty laundry over Twitter.

The two songstresses have found themselves going head to head over their respective nominations for this year’s VMA awards. Although, at further inspection it seems like there may have been a miscommunication somewhere along the way.

The nominations for this year’s MTV Video Music Awards were released yesterday, with Taylor being nominated in an outstanding nine categories, including video of the year for Bad Blood.

Ms Minaj also received a hefty amount of nominations, including the nod for best female video and best hip-hop video for Anaconda.

But Nicki made no secret about how she felt slighted not being nominated for video of the year.

The Starships singers took to Twitter to voice her opinion. “If your video celebrates women with very slim bodies, you will be nominated for vid of the year.”

As Taylor was nominated amongst Ed Sheeran, Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars, Kendrick Lamar and Beyoncé, it is understandable that Nicki’s comment seemed like a dig at her.

Taylor replied saying “I’ve done nothing but love & support you. It’s unlike you to pit women against each other. Maybe one of the men took your slot.”

However, Nicki’s reply made it seem as if she didn’t know what Tay-Tay was talking about. “Huh? U must not be reading my tweets. Didn’t say a word about u. I love u just as much. But u should speak on this.”

Could Taylor have simply misunderstood Nicki’s slight, or is Ms Minaj simply trying to cover herself after insulting an innocent person?

Selena Gomez put on a very emotional display at last night’s AMA Awards.

The singer was performing her new single, The Heart Wants What It Wants as she struggled to hold in tears, becoming very emotional by the time the song ended. 

However, she wasn’t the only one who became overwhelmed by the performance, as her best friend Taylor Swift was clearly moved too. When the camera rested on her at the end of the song, Taylor could be seen to be choked up but looking very proud of her BFF.

The song is known to be about her on-off love affair with Justin Bieber, who it seems she has finally let go off (for now!).

The Jenner sisters, Kendall and Kylie, along with their older sister, Kim, have drawn some unwanted attention on themselves since last night’s MTV VMA Awards.

The trio, who attended the event together, were seen using their phones during a tribute for Ferguson last night.

The city of Ferguson, in Missouri, has been struck by tragedy since the death of 18-year-old Michael Brown, an unarmed teenager who was fatally shot by a police officer.

The death of the teen has sparked outrage in the city which has resulted in riots and increased levels of violence.

At last night’s VMA’s, rapper, Common, lead a moment of silence for Michael Brown, whose funeral is being held today, and for peace all over the world.

Really not the best time to be caught on camera on your phone, as the girls were…

The internet has since responded the best way it knows how, with many people tweeting things like:

It will be interesting to see how the Kardashian camp deal with this major faux-pas…

Ooh, there is going to be a lot of angry Ed Sheeran fans out there after this!

Miley’s MTV VMA Awards appearance was not quite as controversial as last year and she managed to keep her tongue inside her mouth all night, but did hit the headlines for two reasons.

First, there was the amazing thing she did for a struggling homeless man, Jesse.

When it was announced she had won the VMA for Video of the Year for Wrecking Ball, instead of going up on stage herself, she sent Jesse up in her place.

Jesse delivered a moving speech about the struggle for homeless people in Los Angeles while Miley looked on in tears.

This really made a change to the impression she made at last year's VMA when she twerked on stage with Robin Thicke (remember him?) 

The second thing? Oh, she called Ed Sheeran an a**hole.

Don’t believe us? Here’s the proof, in GIF form.

He’s possibly the nicest guy in showbiz – could it be the Taylor thing?

Or, it could also be that time Ed slightly dissed her, saying: “It’s a stripper’s move. If I had a daughter of nine, I wouldn’t want her twerking.”

Ed later apologised for his comments: “Something said in jest when I was drunk is being misquoted now, just wanna make it clear I genuinely like mileys music a lot.”

Not so sure she accepted your apology, Ed…!

Kim Kardashian’s bum is probably the most famous in the world these days – sorry Jennifer Lopez.

So, it was only natural that it caught the attention of a certain singing superstar last night, yes, we’re looking at you, Usher!

The Burn singer got caught dirty sneaking a peek at Kim’s famous behind on the red carpet at last night’s VMA Awards.

Kim was wearing a colourful seventies style minidress as she posed for photos on the red carpet, as Usher passed by, checking her out and photobombing her at the same time – skill!

Somehow, we’re not too sure Kanye will appreciate your humour Usher, but we do!

Usher isn’t the only one to get caught looking at Kim’s bum in recent weeks, the reality TV star shared an image of a security guard checking her out on her Instagram account last week.

We wonder if she will share her opinion on Usher’s wandering eyes!
