Amy Schumer is a legitimate star. The actress has been gathering up some impressive awards of late. Not only did her hilarious TV series Inside Amy Schumer take home an Emmy award last week, she’s also got a Peabody Award and a Critic’s Choice Television Award to her name.

Now she has another trophy to add to her collection: Best Body.

 

There are so many foods I want to thank

The 34-year old shared a hilarious photo on Instagram that captured the very moment she was announced the winner of the Best Body award. She appears to be both shocked and delighted with her win.

Her caption is probably the best part though: “There are so many foods I want to thank.”

The comedian is not someone who is afraid to poke fun at herself, and how often brings up the topic of body image online and in her work.

While she often makes joke about her own weight, she tends to make a very clear point that she is happy and confident just how she is, and other women shouldn’t feel the pressure to slim down either.

“It’s very therapeutic for me to be like, ‘Yes, I’m not going to look like a malnourished bird,’ and I like speaking to that, as well as speaking to my work and what I’m doing,” she told reporters during the press tour for Trainwreck.

"I'm not going to apologize for who I am, and I'm going to actually love the skin that I'm in. And I'm not going to be striving for some other version of myself,” she said at the Glamour UK Women of the Year ceremony.

Also, let us never forget the time she photobombed the entire cast of Game of Thrones:

We have a lot of love for Amy Schumer right now.

The internet is positively FULL of them. And while they're not celebrities, to their thousands of followers, they're most certainly very famous.

Welcome to oh-so privileged lives of Instagram's pampered teenagers: a strangely hypnotic world brimming with designer labels, expensive watches, beach-breaks and totally OTT 16th and 18th birthday bashes. 

Now we've stumbled upon Lilli Hymowitz, the so-called 'Prom Queen of Instagram,' who's causing an online storm among her 12,500 (and climbing daily) followers. 

BFFs with the likes of 18-year-old model Hailey Baldwin and 16-year-old singer Madison Beer, her father is the wealthy hedgefunder investor Gregg Hymowitz.

A former pupil at the €40,000-a-year Riverdale Country School, Lilli is now home-schooled privately.

She lives on Manhattan's swish Upper East Side in a century-old €30m abode belonging to her father, but also spends lots of time with her photographer mother, Debby, in her multi-million dollar apartment in the same locale.

She evidently likes bikinis and horses – because her Instagram account @lillievehymo is FULL of both. 

Indeed, Lilli has been involved in equestrian competitions since the age of four, and is a seriously accomplished horsewoman now – although partying is increasingly getting in the way of the sport.

This week, an interview she did recently with New York magazine went to print. In it, she admits: "I got a lot of followers when I became friends with some people that have names out there."

Dubbed a real-life Gossip Girl Serena or Blair by many of her peers, her 16th birthday caused a serious stir: themed Lilli’s Dark Circus, a soiree in her honour was held at Le Bain, a chic cocktail bar in the city's Meatpacking District. 

Teens who attended some months ago still refer to it as the “party of the year.” Probably with good reason too: mega-star Jason Derulo performed.

The heiress admits to having a fake ID and no curfew – and certainly she goes out an awful LOT. She also thinks there are few feelings better then a shower the morning after the night before.

Still, Ms Hymowitz acknowledges that not everything you see online is always the real-deal. "You can edit your life on Instagram," she states in the recent interview. 

"I think people think I’m cooler than I am."

It looks like Lamar Odom is finally returning to the public sphere. Well, at least he is on Instagram anyway. The ex-husband of Khloe Kardashian has returned to social media after a number of months away.

He took to his verified account on Monday and started sharing some photos of himself playing basketball for the LA Lakers and another of his previous teams the Rhode Island Rams. The 35-year old also looked to be making a fresh start with a return to some healthy looking meals.

 

Mmmmm

Brown rice, avocado, head –boiled eggs and a purple smoothie. Seems like standard athlete snack-time to us.

On Thursday he shared a flashback snap of a newspaper clipping from his time as a high-school athlete with a headline that read: “Lamar Odom, Christ the King.” 

 

A-10 Title! Go Rhody!! #tbt #throwbackthursday #atlantic10championship #gorhody #ncaa #basketball #lamarodom

It certainly seems like a change from his recent bizarre behaviour. After he was spotted confronting his ex-wife Khloe in the early hours outside her gym, he went on a series of rants about the incident.

TMZ captured Lamar on camera as he stressed that he did not ‘attack’ Khloe and she knows what really happened.

According to Lamar Khloe refused to publically clear his name. He also threatened to spill secrets, though he didn’t specify who they were related to.

It has been a difficult year for Lamar aside from he and Khloe finalising their divorce. Two close friends of the athlete tragically passed away in drug related accidents in the same week in June.

From his social media activity it seems like Lamar might be keen to move on from the public drama of the summer and focus on his basketball again.

​Khloe meanwhile can be seen in the latest trailer for Keeping Up With The Kardashians as revealing to her family that she and Lamar were still in contact. She told her siblings:

“I don’t believe in just acting like that relationship never existed.”

An 18th birthday is certainly a milestone event – and it seems that Kylie Jenner is intent on making it a memorable one for her long-standing BFF, Jordyn Woods.

The reality TV star, who only turned 18 herself last month, also went ALL OUT with a pretty spectacular gift: namely a €50,000 Mercedes-Benz C-Class.

As you do.

Understandably, birthday gal Jordyn was pretty blown-away by her friend's generosity. 

Posting a snap of the black car – which had been adorned with an oversized red ribbon – to Instagram, she gushed: "There's no words to describe how I feel.. I just don't know what I did to deserve this."

She continued: "I can never thank @kyliejenner for motivating me to always do my best and always opening up new opportunities. Do good and good things will happen. Blessed and grateful always.

"Love you and thank you again to everyone who made me feel special on this 18th year. Finally."

Ms Jenner herself also shared a similar photograph, along with the caption: "Happy birthday jordyn. Thank you for being you.

"Most down to earth selfless human being! I hope you enjoy it."

Of course, Kylie herself was given a ridiculously amazing car for her own 18th birthday: her boyfriend Tyga gifted her with a white 482 Italia Ferrari, valued at a cool €300,000.

Not that she was entirely happy: within weeks the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star had dropped it into a garage for a major paint-job and new rims

Jordyn is part of the Jenner sisters' trusted inner circle; most recently, she accompanied Kylie on a celebratory beach trip to Mexico.

The most Instagrammed food is surprising, BUT we love it!

Yes, brightly iced doughnuts can step aside. Macarons, your time has passed – because IG have crowned pizza its new 'it' food!

Vice reports that the cheesy Italian dish is the most photographed food on IG. The study was carried out by chef Alessio Mecozzi and PR firm Klaus Davi. 

The researchers poured through 300m food photos uploaded onto IG and found that 17m of them had the hashtag #pizza added to it. 

Not surprisingly, New York had the most pizza photos, hogging 6.1 percent of all pizza pics around the world. 

Pizza is one of those Internet-friendly foods with a cult following, producing countless memes and even emoji delivery orders. It also doesn't hurt that celebrities like Chrissy Teigen and Jennifer Lawrance are totally obsessed, too. 

Sushi ranked in second place in the study, followed closely by pasta. 

But we have to say, we think pizza is No. 1 too.

We love Instagram, and we're definitely not the only ones, because of late the photo-sharing app has hit a massive milestone of 400 million active monthly users.

As with all of our favourite things, it was only going to be a matter of time before something came along and ruined it for us all. We thought that Instagram had escaped the fate of so many others before it. Unfortunately, we were all wrong.

The latest feature to hit the app means that sponsored posts are now going to be making appearances in your feed.

Each advertisement will have a ‘Sponsored’ label to let you know that it is not part of your usual viewing schedule. You will be given the option to tap to hide any ads which don’t appeal to you.

This just means that the people behind the scenes at Instagram are then able to tailor the sponsored content which appears on your feed to that which you might be more interested in.

“Our aim is to make any advertisements you see feel as natural to Instagram as the photos and videos many of you already enjoy from your favourite brands.”

This is the first time that the free-to-download app has made moves to try and introduce official sponsored content on the app. Meanwhile celebs have been using the app to promote certain products by using the hashtags #spon or #sponsored.

She clearly keeps her 36.6million Instagram followers enthralled with regular snaps of her oh-so fabulous life (case in point – €4,500 Chinese takeway). 

But some of Kylie Jenner's fans were somewhat irate yesterday when the teenage reality TV star shared bikini snaps online.

Not that the 18-year-old didn't look totally amazing – donning a God Save Queens bra and criss-cross knickers (sadly, the items haven't been released just yet – but they will be landing soon), Kylie certainly showed off her amazing figure to full effect. 

And while a head-on snap, which garnered 1.2million likes of approval, didn't seem to cause too much upset – a second image (which incidentally notched up 1.3million likes) shared shortly afterwards proved rather more divisive.

In the controversial shot, Kylie can be seen leaning over a jacuzzi feature by the pool at her €2.2m Calabasas home. 

Her pert derriere and totally smooth, tanned skin are in full view – but some fans questioned whether the image was entirely natural. 

"No one has a bum like that clearly been photoshopped or airbrushed," one stated. 

"Her bum DOES NOT look like that," another claimed, adding, "she's been touching it up."

A third suggested: "Where's the cellulite .. Everyone's got some big or small."

This week, the Californian sun is beating down on the upmarket Calabasas area: temperatures have reached a scorching 36C on some days.

Still, the heat means Ms Jenner is getting plenty of use out of her new pool – a feature which she has just had renovated after moving into the property last month.

One of our favourite people in the WORLD has joined Snapchat!

Ed Sheeran took to his Instagram account last night to share the news that he is now using the social media site. 

He posted a picture of his Snapcode along with the caption, "Take a picture of this on snapchat and it lets you follow me. How exciting". 

If the code isn't working for you, you can add Ed by his username: teddysdaytoday.

If his IG and Twitter accounts are anything to go by, we reckon he will be sharing some very cool pictures, full of funny quotes and backstage shenanigans. 

The IG photo already has 95,000 likes, so we're guessing Ed's Snapchat has probably crashed by now but we're really looking forward to seeing what his first snap will be!

If it's anything like this one, we'll be quite happy.

He presided over the Ireland team on Saturday – with the squad kicking off their World Cup campaign with a convincing 50-7 win over Canada.

But back in his hotel room, all is not so straightforward for Irish rugby caption Paul O'Connell.

The 35-year-old Limerick-man is staying along with the rest of the boys in green at the Hilton at St George's Park, a state-of-the-art English FA centre located in Staffordshire, not far from London.

The hotel is emblazoned with football memorabilia honouring past English greats – though, understandably, the decor is not entirely to Paul's tastes.

Taking to Instagram last night, he posted a snap of the wall beside his bed – a wall adorned with an action-shot of former England goalkeeper Peter Shilton. 

 

Peter Shilton watching over me tonight. I'd rather Packie Bonner.

"Peter Shilton watching over me tonight," he wrote. "I'd rather Packie Bonner," he added referring, of course, to the Donegal goalie whose famous penalty save sent Ireland into the quarter-finals of Italia '90. 

Mr O'Connell has captained Munster, Ireland and the Lions previously, and with 105 caps, is among the most-experienced players currently taking part in the Rugby World Cup, which runs until October 31.

We all know what you see on Instagram often isn't real. 

Even Alexa Chung has openly confessed that her IG feed is full of creative crops. 

That's what one Thai photographer has set out to reveal exactly how people distort images to make their lives look more amazing. 

Chompoo Baritone named his series #SlowLife, which shows a typically impressive IG post, along with its surrounding reality. 

The amusing compositions show people enjoying a moment with friends, on a holiday or making a meal, along with the closely cropped, heavy filtered segment they'd most likely share on social media.

Taking to the current #fit trend, where we see people post photos of their impressive yoga skills; one of Chompoo's snaps shows a girl being assisted by her friend during the handstand. 

Another satire is the #foodporn craze, which sees a healthy homemade meal – beside not-so-healthy noodles and a microwave meal. 

“No one is as happy as they seem on Instagram,” said Alexa Chung to Stella magazine.

But then she added: “Instagram would be awful if it was reality, wouldn’t it? 'Here are my spaghetti hoops and me crying over EastEnders.'”

With nearly 4.4m followers on Instagram, Brooklyn Beckham is a social media star in his own right. 

But that doesn't mean the young model goes without rules from his parents. 

Oh no, David Beckham has revealed that he and his wife, Victoria, keep a strict eye on his social media accounts. They monitor and approve everything Brooklyn posts on Twitter and Instagram.

"Our 16-year-old son, Brooklyn, he's got like 4 million Instagram followers," David Beckham told ABC News

"We control everything that he posts, everything that he does, and it's the same with our other kids."

He also admitted that Victoria is "the strict one in the house"—so perhaps dad is the parent Brooklyn goes to for sign-off any shirtless pics like this one.

Jordan Hanz in a 24-year old make up artist who shares her amazing make up skills and transformations on Instagram with 250,000 followers.

Her incredible fantasy-inspired make up looks can take between three and five hours each to create and they are actually mindblowing. She has got some magic skills with a contour brush, she really does. 

 

A photo posted by HANZ (@jordanhanz) on

For her newest project, Jordan chose to create a video that shows how derogatory labels can have a powerful affect on women. Speaking to Buzzfeed Life she explained that she was "watching the VMAs, and saw Amber Rose's statement outfit," she then became "instantly inspired by her."

Her idea then became a reality when she spent hours and hours creating a stop-motion video where hurtful words would appear on her body. She used makeup body paints to write the words whcih signified the stereotypes she felt she and the women in her life have had to fight against. 

 

A photo posted by HANZ (@jordanhanz) on

"As a woman who speaks out against others, I've often been called a bitch," she explained, "There is such a double standard when it comes to powerful men and women."

As the video goes on many words appear on her skin, Jordan says the phrase which was most difficult for her to write was 'asking for it'.

 

A photo posted by HANZ (@jordanhanz) on

"After I was assaulted, I was made to feel that it was my fault. Victim shaming and slut-shaming is something that I want to break down."

She then removes the words and explained the message behind the video as this:

"If we love each other, and have unbreakable self-love, NOTHING can hurt us. We are strong, bad-ass women that are ladylike as f**k, because WE choose how we see ourselves."
