Pop sensation Selena Gomez might be smashing her current Revival world tour but unfortunately that doesn’t mean the star is feeling totally herself.

Last night the singer got real with fans at her Indonesian concert and later used Instagram to share her emotions with the world in a heartfelt post.

According to Billboard, Selena appeared to get a little teary on-stage as she explained to her audience why the song Kill Em With Kindness is so important to her.  She said: “I get really frustrated. I get stupid sometimes.”

“I say things that I don’t mean, or that come out wrong just because I care so badly. But the thing is, at the end of the day, no war in anger was ever won.”

“I do know that deep down in my heart that I have to believe that we can love each other and always be kind no matter what it takes in us.”

While it’s not totally clear what sparked the star’s emotional presence, she later took to Instagram to say she “felt extremely unauthentic, unconnected to both myself and my music”.

 

 

Selena – who has just turned 24 – wrote: “I've never really felt like my materials, wardrobe or a video could define me. I act on a moment and fear something that hasn't happened.”

“I'm stagnant, I stay still and don't just sit with myself first and ask 'is this where I am, whole heartedly?'”

“I've always told the truth. I'm always true to my word, I've shown who I am but I need to rethink some areas of my life creatively and personally. had to get that out."

 

 

The post was captioned: “not being negative about anything I've done. I'm grateful for every single moment I get here – Indonesia you were LOUD and clearly inspiring. Love you so much.”

The Good For You singer has received an abundance of support from fans since the post first appeared with one writing: “I know you'll probably never read this but i, and all selenators, love you so much and will always be here for you no matter what. Please stay strong and don't loose that smile who stays us alive (sic).”

And another said: “Thank u for sharing. I think we all have those inauthentic moments. Your authenticity will rise above again. Sometimes we just slip into an inauthentic space (sic).”

If you're going to create your own capsule collection of clothing and bikinis for the summer months – you may as well wear it too. 

Which is exactly what Charlotte Crosby is doing today: stepping out in a pretty red patterned playsuit that costs just €37.

Part of her popular Nostalgia range from inthestyle.com, we reckon the reality TV star looks pretty gorge.

Still, last night the reality TV star herself sparked concern when she claimed that she felt like 'sh*t'.

Taking to Twitter she wrote: "I've never felt like such shit in my whole life…..I need to sort myself out ASAP. There's no excuses for this."

Her fans were quick to offer reassurance, however, with one writing: "Ya gorgeous babe couldn't ever imagine you feeling or looking like s***"

Another added: "Life's to short to feel s*** mate dust it off and keep smiling :)"

Earlier this year, Charlotte also shocked fans by quitting Geordie Shore. She also revealed that she had suffered an ectopic pregnancy shortly before breaking up with co-star Gaz Beadle.

With everything that's been going on of late – Kim, Kanye, Calvin & Co. – understandably, Taylor Swift hasn't had much time to tend to her usually busy social media platforms.

However, she has now emerged from self-imposed digital exile, taking to Instagram to mark the 24th birthday of her BFF Selena Gomez.

Posting a throwback snap of the duo making a heart with their hands, the singer wrote: “Going through old pictures today, because @selenagomez just turned 24! 

“I can’t imagine my life without you, Selena. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!”

Selena has had her friend's back in recent weeks, as Ms Swift, 26, manages the fall-out from her Kimye feud, the breakdown of her relationship with Calvin Harris, and her new romance with Tom Hiddleston. 

And the birthday gal also took to Twitter today with a 26-second long acoustic-sounding snippet from a forthcoming song.

"Did this on my birthday… coming soon. Thank you so all the love. I love you guys, God bless," she wrote as she shared her new music.

Significantly, the unveiled lyrics sang: "The world can be a nasty place. You know it; I know it.

"Still you don't have to fall from grace. Put down the weapons you fight with."

Which, coincidently, we reckon sound mighty suitable for Ms Tay-Tay Swift.

Yup – it's just about hottest hair look of 2016… indeed this video of one young woman's super-long, Rapunzel-like dye-job has is HYPNOTIC

And when it comes to the rainbow-hair, there’s good news and bad: the good all those gorgeous colourful hues aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.

The bad? Well, as anyone who's dabbled in the trend will know, maintaining those purples, teals, reds, and greens fades FAST. Aka this is one look that quickly gets VERY expensive.

Luckily, inventive fans of the trend in the Philippines have come up with a way to DIY-dye for just a few euro: tissue paper.

As one beauty blogger explains, after putting bright strips of the paper into a saltwater solution and letting the dye bleed out, you can stain the ends of your hair by dipping them in the mixture and letting them soak.

Hurrah!

Others wrap their hair in the saltwater-soaked tissue – much like your hairdresser would if you were going for a full head of highlights.

Of course, it’s unlikely that the colour will actually last very long BUT for a quick ‘n’ easy weekend dye-job for a night out – this is pretty perfect.

As a proud plus-size model, Ashley Graham has come in for criticism from various corners of society, and as her star continues to ascend it really looks like the girl can't win.

From politicians dubbing her 'unhealthy' and suggesting she has years of ill health ahead of her to speculation that Amy Schumer was unimpressed by her inclusion in the same body-shape category as Ashley – a claim she has since dismissed – the 27-year-old has been forced to defend her shape and size time and time again.

And while the vast majority of criticism has come from those who consider Ashley too large, the model is now facing another group of critics who are currently slamming her for looking like she's dropped a few lbs.

After sharing photos of herself working out, Ashley, who was the first plus-size model to appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated, was inexplicably met with negativity by some of her followers.

"Fake fat person. You're not overweight, Stop saying you are. If you are fit, own it," wrote one. "If you changed, just keep it real, don't tell me you're fat when you look like perfection."

"I don't want you to stop from going to the gym at all. I just want to say, that I hope you will stand for your body and your curves like everybody should," commented another.

Taking aim at a snap of Ashley rocking white co-ords and a cropped leather jacket, another Instagram user wrote: "I knew it you did lose a lot of weight! I am no longer a fan of yours you betrayed a lot of people!"

"So I'll find another plus size beautiful woman bcuz you're full of s**t!!! #damnshame #justliketherest," she added. (sic)

Stunned by the outburst, Ashley defended her against the criticism, writing: "People come on my page and body shame me because I'm too big, because I'm too small, because I'm not good enough for their standards…But at the end of the day I'm good enough for me."

Many fans wasted no time supporting the model's stance, with one writing: "All you women shaming get are disgusting."

"Body positivity isn't about size or her size, it's about acceptance. Any women shaming her should be ashamed of themselves." she finished.

When it comes to Instagram, Perrie Edwards has it absolutely nailed.

From sneak peeks into the life of a jet-setting popstar to cute family snaps and make-up mishaps, Perrie balances her page perfectly.

But now it looks like she's hoping to take it up a gear when it comes to the bikini snaps if her most recent uploads are anything to go by.

Unfortunately for Perrie, a number of fans have taken it upon themselves to question the singer's motives for this change of direction.

Suggesting that the British star is attempting to compete with her former fiancé's current girlfriend, one Instagram user wrote: "She has nvr done this when she was still with Zayn. I guess she's trying to compete with Gigi." (sic)

"Why always bikini? You never do this when you with Zayn. Why? Trying like Gigi?" added another.

Responding to the suggestion, another fan of the star wrote: "Compete with Gigi? Are you serious? It's very unlikely that's she's trying to "compete" with Gigi."

"Maybe Zany said she couldn't post any "revealing" pictures of herself. Or she could finally be comfortable in her own skin. Don't always assume because you never know," they added.

"She's just feeling confident in her body and has embraced it fully? Her life does not revolve around Zayn, she had a life before him and has a life after him," argued a fan.

"It's sad that all of you put two women against each other for the sole reason that they dated the same man. That's undermining their success," she added.

Preach girl, preach!

In our parents’ day, if you wanted a little recipe inspiration, you’d dig out a cookbook and hope for the best.

These days, we can be exposed to a whole world of food at the touch of a button, and we have Instagram and foodie bloggers to thank for that one.

But if you’re two steps away from smothering yourself with kale leaves if you have to endure another post on the benefit of healthy eating, then we have the perfect antidote for you.

In a trend gaining serious momentum across the pond, internet users are rating hotdogs, and the results are nothing short of mouthwatering.

From New York to Texas, people are getting snap happy with their franks, and it makes for some seriously compelling scrolling.

 1. Dirt Dog, Los Angeles

These bacon-wrapped street dogs should be high on your list if you're hitting Hollywood any time soon.

A staple among Angelenos, you can choose between meat, soy and veggie-based dogs as well as traditional, Portuguese or lobster buns!

2. Dirty Frank’s Hot Dog Palace, Ohio

With 40 variations available, this Ohio-based weiner joint is a a dream come true for any hot-dog devotee.

From the Seoul Dog, topped with Korean kimchi and sriracha, to the Viva Baconia for bacon lovers, we're literally drooling all over ourselves.

3. Nathan’s Famous, New York City, NY

A Brooklyn institution, Nathan's Famous started out as a five-cent stand back in 1916.

One hundred years on, Nathan's just as famous as he was, and equally delicious.

4. BK Carne Asada & Hot Dogs, Arizona

Located in Tuscon, the BK Carne Asada &Hotdogs is a favourite with locals.

Hot dogs with a smokey Mexican twist is the order of the day in this place, and we want one NOW.

5. Lafayette Coney Island, Detroit, MI

According to the New York Post, when you're in Detroit, you get a Coney dog. End of story.

As typical an American hotdog as you can get, the Coney dog is a an all-beef, onion and mustard sensation.

6. Gene and Judes, Chicago

Providing the good people of Illinois with franks since 1951 – Gene and Judes is somewhat of an institution in Chicago.

Oh, and did we mention each one is served with a fistful of fries? Delish!

There are some celebrity couples – who shall remain nameless – who only have to post one tribute to each other to have social media reaching for its sick bucket, and then there's Chrissy Teigen and John Legend.

While we'd happily watch them read the phone book to one another, we're even more pumped when they get all gushy about one another. (It's just our thing, don't judge us.)

Taking to Instagram yesterday, Chrissy hit everyone in the feels when she shared a shot of herself and John chilling out in Lake Como, writing: "Back to where it all began – Lake Como, Italy – first came here in 2007."

"A boat tour guide took us to a little spot on the lake and told us to make a wish," Chrissy wrote in a post which has racked up a staggering 455,000 likes.

"I asked for this to be the man I marry and have children with," she confessed. "I think John asked for the most perfect bite of cacio e pepe.  Both came true, and here we are."

We don't know whether it's because she can make us laugh and cry at the same time, or because we just want to BE her, but props to Chrissy for that one.

We're in bits over here.

We image the likes of Tom Fletcher having oh-so cool birthday bashes involving a chic nightclub, bottles of champagne and vodka, and an after-party in a five-star hotel suite. 

But nope – it seems when the dad-of-two marked his 31st bday over the weekend, he did so in a spectacularly low-key fashion.

Indeed, and as revealed on Instagram, the celebrations looked delightfully worlds away from his celebrity status.

Standing with his two-year-old son Buzz hanging from his t-shirt (major swoon all the same), Tom can be seen holding up a balloon in his left hand, and a home-made card in his right.

In the background, the glorious weekend mayhem of family-life is in clear view: oodles of coloured toys, puzzles and games and are strewn around the vicinity. 

Better still, Mr Fletcher reveals in the accompanying caption that his birthday 'presents' included "a poop on the living room floor and a pee on the bathroom floor".

Still, his loyal fans didn't seem to mind – the Instagram snap was soon flooded with hearty best wishes and birthday congratulations.

As well as toddler Buzz, Tom and his wife of four years, Giovanna, have a five-month old son, Buddy. 

Yesterday, the musician added a further snap of Buzz to his Instagram page. The touching black-and-white snap shows the child playing with a toy car. "Love watching my boy use his imagination," he wrote.

And this morning, Mr Fletcher revealed that he and his eldest son had on complementing footwear.

Me and Buzz are having a shoe-off," he wrote alongside a snap showing the elder Fletcher in Mickey Mouse slip-ons, and the little boy in corresponding Super Mario runners.

News stations and media outlets were awash last night with coverage pertaining to an attempted military coup which began in Turkey yesterday.

In frightening scenes which played out across Ankara and Istanbul, soldiers and tanks took to the streets of Turkey's two main cities in a move which has thus far left 90 people dead and hundreds more injured.

With Turkish President, Tayyip Erdogan, calling on his public to support him, the coup appeared to crumble in the early hours of Saturday morning as crowds took to the streets in an act of defiance against soldiers who had assumed positions around both cities and claimed to have taken power.

While caught up in the chaos which ensued as a result of the attempted coup, Limerick model, Judy Fitzgerald, took to Instagram to give an insight into events unfolding in Instanbul.
 

Sharing footage of a busy street in Istanbul eight hours ago, Judy wrote: "The government has fallin and has been taken over by the military here in Istanbul." (sic)

The short clip shows a stream of armed officials making their way through the city followed by chanting groups – all of whom were being filmed by stunned onlookers on the pavement.

"Airports and everything have been shut. What is the world coming too?" she wrote alongside a series of hastags.

At last estimate, 745 individuals had been detained following last night's violence and 130 soldiers have so far been arrested, with President Erdrogen last night asserting: "What is being perpetrated is a treason and a rebellion. They will pay a heavy price for this act of treason."

Khloé Kardashian hasn't been having the easiest time of it lately.

With rumours swirling about her husband Lamar Odom, and social media users accusing her of major hypocrisy this week, it's no surprise the 32-year-old reality star might want to take a step back from the limelight every now and again.

What with being a Kardashian, however, Khloé was never going to fully bow out, and instead chose to make a social media star of her pet pooch, Gabbana.

In a move that has the famous Calabasas clan written all over it, Khloé decided to put a GoPro on her dog, and upload her adventures to Instagram.

And the internet is absolutely loving it.

Sharing the footage with the public earlier today, Khloé wrote: "You guys!!! I put a GoPro on my dog Gabbana and the video is the best thing ever. She's just too cute!!"

1.3 million views later, it looks like Khloé's Instagram followers agree…

At a time when a celebrity’s social media game is almost as important as the talent which brought them to public attention in the first place, it’s refreshing to know that not every Hollywood heavy-hitter buys into the whole process.

Having recently become Instagram’s most followed person, you’d be forgiven for thinking Selena Gomez has a team of social media consultants who edit, tweak and ultimately OK her contribution to social media, but it’s not the case.

With a staggering 89 million followers, 23-year-old Selena, who says Instagram is her favourite social platform, has kept the public captivated with a selection of candid shots and selfies – all devoid of outside influence.

Explaining her approach to photography and Instagram as a whole, she confides: “It comes in a moment when I capture something happening, and I go, 'Oh, that would be great for Instagram. I should post it.”

“I know it's boring, but that's genuinely what I do,” she says when commenting on her rise to the top of the Instagram charts.

“I'm not sure there's a method to my madness,” she admits before revealing she had no intention of becoming the network’s most followed person.

“I try to find a good balance of just being 100 percent myself and knowing when to post a really good selfie with good lighting.”
