Kristen Stewart has always been open about her sexuality. Having been in relationships with both men and women, the 27-year-old has compared her dating preferences to eating sandwiches, admitting she wants “to try everything.”

The actress, whose leading role in the hit Twilight series shot her to stardom, is currently seeing model, Stella Maxwell, but says she is completely open to dating men again in the future.

Speaking to Harper's Bazaar UK, Kristen explained her thought process:

“Some people know that they like grilled cheese and they’ll eat it every day for the rest of their lives. I want to try everything.”

“If I have grilled cheese once I’m like, ‘That was cool, what’s next?’ ”

Having previously dated her Twilight co-star, Robert Pattinson, fans of the actress were surprised to learn that she was in a relationship with Alicia Cargile a few years after the couple's very public split.

“Did you think I was faking it?” she says. “I’ve always really embraced a duality. And really, truly, believed in it and never felt confused or struggling. I just didn’t like getting made fun of.”

Earlier this year, the actress told The Guardian she is “just trying to acknowledge that fluidity, that grayness, which has always existed.”

So, while Kristen's "grilled cheese" analogy may not be the most eloquent we've ever heard, what she's saying makes perfect sense.

So, earlier this year it was revealed that one of our favourite sitcoms was making a comeback – and now, new details about the much anticipated Will and Grace revival have been revealed.

Fans of the series may remember the 2006 finale which took a glance into the future, revealing that Will and Grace has gone their separate ways, each finding partners and starting families of their own.

With such a definitive ending, the idea of a revival seemed like an all but impossible dream – until now.

Writers of the shows's upcoming 12-episode revival have decided to completely dismiss the events of the final episode and continue as if it never went to air.

According to Entertainment Weekly, when Will and Grace returns in September, the main characters will still be single, childless, and living in their New York City apartment.

Oh, and Jack will still be living across the hall, and Karen will still reside in luxury Fifth Avenue mansion.

“We spent most of our time trying to figure out what would be the way to make the show the best version of itself coming back after 11 years,” says executive producer/creator, Max Mutchnick.

“That finale really caused us a lot of grief. You write a finale because a show is over. You never think that it’s coming back again.”

“When the decision was made to bring the series back, we were like, well, we left them with kids, right?” added executive producer/creator David Kohan.

“We frankly did not want to see them being either good parents or bad parents. We wanted them to be Will and Grace.”

We couldn't be happier about the decision to leave the characters exactly how there were, because honestly, we can't imagine them any other way.

Will and Grace is set to return to it's home on NBC on September 28, but until then, you'll find us binge watching the first eight seasons.

Thought your job came with some pretty decent perks? Think again.

While you spent this Monday daydreaming about sandy beaches and city scapes, the staff over at the White Moose Café were surprised with an all expenses paid, three-day trip to Disneyland Paris.

That's right, the owner of the popular Dublin café, Paul Stenson, has decided to celebrate its two year anniversary by closing up shop and treating all his employees to a well-deserved weekend away.

 

To celebrate our 2nd birthday, we're closing the cafe in Jan to bring all cafe staff to @disneylandparis!!!

A post shared by White Moose Cafe (@whitemoosecafe) on

Paul made the announcement after gathering all staff members in the adjoining hotel, Charleville Lodge for a sing-song in honour of the café's second birthday.

“I’m delighted to say we’re now doing very well for ourselves and I want you to give yourselves a round of applause for that. However and it’s not with delight I say this, it’s sadness – In January 2018, the cafe is going to close,” he said.

“Yes, the café in January is going to close for three days because we are going to bring you somewhere”.

Paul then held up a photograph of Disneyland Paris' famous Sleeping Beauty's Castle, asking his team: “Do we all know where that is?”

Of course, the news was met with cheers of shock and joy, with Paul concluding:

“We’re bringing you to Disneyland as a way of saying ‘Thank You’ for all the hard, very very hard work you’ve done”.

Look like we've got ourselves a candidate for boss of the year.

Let's face it, when it comes to romantic gestures, it's all about that personal touch. 

Sure, flowers and chocolates are nice, but an extra special gift requires a lot more planning and creativity – and that's exactly what this woman's boyfriend (AKA our new favourite person) did.

Berlinda took to Twitter over the weekend to share a photo of the gorgeous necklace she had received from her boyfriend, Angel.

But this wasn't just any necklace.

The 22-year-old had gifted Berlinda with a necklace made from the petals of the first bouquet of flowers he gave her.

Yep.

The viral tweet has since garnered over 80,000 likes, and as expected, people can not deal with this adorable gesture.

Speaking to the Press Association, Angel said: “I was looking to do something special to show my appreciation for her and the things she does. I came across a video of how they make the necklaces with the scorpions inside of them and I thought to make my own spin off and put something meaningful inside of the necklace.”

After creating the pendant, he then attached it to a silver Pandora chain before presenting it to Berlinda on their three month anniversary.

Although the couple have only been together for a short while, Angel said Berlinda “brought out a side” to him that he “never even knew existed”.

“I know how much she loves flowers so I thought it would be meaningful as she can now have a piece of the first bouquet of flowers with her wherever she goes.”

We're not crying, you are!

In your weird news of the day, ladies, our good friends up in Co Donegal quite literally felt the earth move earlier today.

According to emerging reports, an earthquake, which measured 1.5 on the Richter Scale, was recorded at approximately 06.45 this morning on the Fanad Peninsula.

It has been established that local residents in the Milford and Kilmacrennan areas experienced tremors, and the Irish National Seismic Network is eager to hear from anyone who experienced the earthquake.

According to Today FM, the Irish National Seismic Network have launched a questionnaire for members of the public to share their observations on this morning's quake.

Commenting on the incident, Tom Blake, the director of the Irish National Seismic Network, said: "There was a minor tremor which measured 1.5 on the Richter Scale — that’s a fairly minor tremor but was felt nonetheless."

“It was felt by people and would have been felt by animals. Our systems pick up very minute tremors," he explained.

“We are very keen to hear from people and if people could share their experiences with us then we would ask them to get it touch."

According to The Irish Times, there have been no reports of injuries or damage to buildings in the wake of the minor earthquake.

Leading the way in sexual education, Norway's national broadcaster, NRK, want to show teenagers the honest side of sex.

It is hoped that the show, due to be aired later this year, will provide children aged between 8 and 12 with a healthier perspective on nudity and sex, by showing real life sex scenes.

The programme, Line fikser kroppen, will see host, Line Elvsåshagen, openly discuss issues around body positivity, puberty, and of course, sexual encounters.

She said: “The idea is not to show sexual organs in action but rather to move away from a glorified image and show that sex is a nice and intimate situation that can often be a bit clumsy without being dangerous.”

Producers have put out an open call for couples who are willing to get intimate on camera, but, rather understandably, their efforts have not proved successful thus far. 

In an attempt to raise the profile of their search, the show has hung posters around the country and has made contact with a number of blogs.

P3's editorial director, Håkon Moslet, said the new programme offers a more realistic narrative to that seen in pornography:

“Just showing surgically-enhanced bodies and overly-choreographed sex creates false hopes and misperceptions.”

“We hope that by showing sex in its entirety, rather than just merely as penetration, we can provide the target group with the right approach.”

Ladies, there’s little we love more than a glitzy awards show, so hats off to the good folk behind the Wella Professionals TrendVision Awards 2017 who really pulled it out of the bag this week.

Aiming to pay tribute to the hairdressing industry's leading talents – both in terms of competitors and show teams – this annual competition was a vertiable haven for the hair mavens.

With hundreds of photographic entries to choose from, a shortlist of finalists were selected to present their look at the ICONS – an Exclusive View event featuring the Ireland Heat, in a bid to be recognised as the next big name in Irish hairdressing.

And ladies, it was a night of pure, unadulterated creativity at Dubilin's Clayton Hotel on the Burlington Road.

The uber-slick evening was hosted by TV personality Nicky Byrne who opened with the competitor’s parade of models.

Sassoon Academy, Edward Darley & Gareth Vance presented “Underpass” while the Wella Professionals Style Council collaborated with Leonardo Rizzo and Laura Daniel from Sanrizz to present a fearless Sebastian inspired show.

But obviously, the real excitement was the competitor parade who were all supported by family, friends and colleagues, and left the audience in no doubt as to their incredible talent.

And without further ado, here are your Irish finalists.

  • Stephen Aiken: Conroy Hair
  • Aaron Healy: Wayne Lloyd Hair
  • Albena Hristova: Style Club

We're going to take a wild guess here and say that your last Instagram seflie didn't happen in one take.

Of course it didn't.

The lighting, angle, pose and filter all had to be just right so that everyone would see the best version of you.

See, we rarely tend to focus on the positive features about ourselves, and instead become engulfed by our so-called flaws.

It doesn't matter how beautiful your friends think you look au naturale, you still think you look like the bride of Frankenstein after a few too many.

And that's exactly the kind of negative behaviour one Instagrammer is trying to stop.

Louise Aubrey, a student at SciencesPo Paris and UC Berkeley, recently uploaded a side-by-side-comparison, illustrating how she sees herself versus how others see her.

 

 I am guilty. I am here to always be completely honest, because I feel social medias need more of it. | As much as I preach self love and truly made some progress accepting myself, there is something I really struggle with : pictures  Whenever I see a picture of me, the first things which catches my eyes are my FLAWS. I always see what is wrong. "Too close". "My nose appears too big." "My legs look too white". "I look terrible" This is usually what follows when someone show me a picture they took of me  YET, I really do not look at people's flaws first when I look at a picture of someone else ! On the contrary, I tend to focus on their assets So why not do the same with yourself ? We really need to learn not to be so harsh on ourselves. It is not healthy. I am going to work on it, and I hope you will too.  _____________________________________ Je plaide coupable. Vous savez que l'honnêteté est une valeur que je chérie; et je trouve que ca manque sur les réseaux sociaux. | Malgré que je prêche l'acceptance et l'amour de soi et que j'ai fait de réels progrès sur le sujet, il y a quelque chose avec lequel j'ai toujours beaucoup de mal : les photos  A chaque fois que je vois une photo de moi, tout ce que je vois en premier sont mes défauts. Je vois toujours ce qui ne va PAS. "Trop proche" "Mon nez paraît trop gros" "J'ai l'air trop blanche" "Supprime" : ce sont généralement mes premières réactions après avoir vu une photo de moi  Pourtant, ce n'est pas du tout comme ça que je réagis quand je vois une photo de quelqu'un d'autre ! Au contraire, j'ai plutôt tendance à voir leurs atouts Alors pourquoi je l'applique-t-on pas à nous-même ? On doit vraiment apprendre à ne pas être aussi dur envers soi-même. Ce n'est pas sain. Je vais travailler dessus, et j'espère que vous aussi. 

A post shared by Louise| PARIS |Thinker & Maker (@mybetter_self) on

She makes the point that while she tends to focus on her 'big nose', 'back fat' and 'cellulite', others focus on her 'big smile', 'long legs' and 'strong butt'.

The blogger urged her followers to indulge in a little self-love and treat themselves as other would.

“We really need to learn not to be so harsh on ourselves. It is not healthy. I am going to work on it, and I hope you will too.”

Speaking to Metro.co.uk, Louise said: “I created this post because I feel social media platforms are not quite what they could be and should be – i.e a tool to promote empowerment.”

“Self-criticism comes from several causes. The society we’ve evolved in overemphasises our physical appearances. The influence of role models, the use of photo editing; it puts a great pressure on our shoulders and nourishes the feeling of not being worthy enough.”

This is a lesson would could all benefit from.

Early last month, Lauren Conrad sent her fans and followers into a tailspin when she uploaded a shot of some embroidery which confirmed that herself and her husband, William, had welcomed a baby son into their lives.

"He's here! We're so excited to welcome Liam James Tell into the world!"she wrote on July 6.

And while fans of the fashion designer were happy to dine out on the upload for a day or two, it wasn't long before the star was asked for snaps of her newborn son.

Choosing to chat with People magazine in the weeks that followed her son's birth, 31-year-old Lauren posed for shots with the little boy and gave an insight into the impact Liam has made on her life so far.

"Before the delivery, I felt like I was getting ready for a blind date," she said. 

"We considered doing the 4D ultrasound but then decided to wait. I just remember thinking he was so cute – and I was surprised by how tiny he was.

Liam, who weighed 6lbs 14 oz, surprised his mum, with Lauren saying: "I was convinced I was having a giant baby, to the point where I didn't even buy newborn clothes – in my head he was 9 lbs."

Reflecting on her pregnancy, the former Hills star explained that she was eager to find out the sex of her child prior to his arrival.

"I don't really love surprises. I like to have all the information. And I was sharing my body with someone so I wanted to know as much as possible about him."

"I always hoped I would have a boy. Boys are so fun. I was a tomboy, and I always play best with boys. When we found out, I was so excited."

Recently, Lauren's former co-star, Audrina Patridge, revealed that she would be up for a Hills reunion, saying: "We're all married, we all have kids, we're all at a different place in our lives so we'd all be able to relate to each other way more."

And it's been just days since Whitney Port welcomed her own baby boy with husband Tim Rosenman, so with the right amount of encouragement, Whitney might get in on the action.

Something tell us Lauren would run a mile espcially if Speidi got wind of it…

We all remember Louis and Zayn's infamous Twitter spat of 2015, right?

The former One Direction bandmates famously fell out after Zayn Malik abruptly quit the group in the middle of a world tour, and one of the greatest bromance of our time came to an untimely end. 

Digs were made, shade was thrown, and let's face it, things got pretty awkward for a while.

However, that's all in the past, and fans will be delighted to know that the feuding friends are finally “mates again.”

Speaking on Andy Cohen Live earlier this week, Louis Tomlinson opened up about where he and Zayn stand some two years after their headline-making fall out.

“We got back in touch with each other and kind of cleared the air and talked everything through. So we're mates again, I suppose,” he said.

“Like anything like that, it takes time. But it was nice that we had an opportunity to clear the air and be adults about it, I suppose.”

The admission comes after Louis revealed that his late mother, Johannah Deakin, urged him to reconnect with his old friend, insisting “life's too short.”

"My mum said, 'You've got to get back in contact with Zayn. Life's too f–king short. A mother's intuition is just f–king crazy. It always felt supernatural to me. My mum always knew what I was feeling and what I wanted,” he said told The Sun earlier last month.

Now that they have put all that bad blood behind them, we're hoping the guys can re-establish their tight bond, and perhaps even work together in the future.

Let’s face facts, the vast majority of us are creatures of habit, and generally tend to hit up the same venues, week in and week out.

From the handy after-work local to the same-old Saturday night spot, it’s easy to get stuck in a rut when it comes to socialising.

So, when you and the squad do happen to hit upon a new venue, it’s hardly surprising you act like you’ve discovered fire.

From feeling smug over the new discovery to regretting the times you've wasted in the same old spots, finding a new venue lights a fire under any group of friends.

And here are just 8 things we’ve all thought while taking in the splendour of a new spot.

1. “This is the kick up the arse we needed, lads.”

Whether it's the decor, the tunes or the atmosphere, stumbling upon a brand-new spot is invigorating and makes you reassess every other spot you've frequented up until this point.

"Can you believe we actually used to pass this place, and never once thought to look in?!"

2. "This place will totally overhaul how we spend our weekends."

Considering you're all a few drinks in, you'll start to see the new spot as some kind of offering from above, and endlessly list its amazing attributes.

"Girls, Number 22 has a Flashback Friday! Wait, wait, it also has a Peep Show Sunday!"

3. "I can’t believe we spent hours jostling for one lousy drink in that other hellhole."

The discovery of a new bar can bring out a fickle side in you that you're not exactly proud of, but you can't help it.

Up until three hours ago, your former local was your favourite place on earth, but with the mention of Number 22, its Library Bar and their 2 for €12 cocktails, you've forgotten the other places even exist.

4. "Just think how slick this is going to look on Instagram."

You know how naff it sounds, but your Instagram account will thank you for a snap of a place as swish as this.

With Burlesque dancers performing in the background and countless incredible-looking cocktails in the foreground, your new hotspot is just crying out to get 'grammed.

5. "I can wait to show the out-of-towners how we roll up here."

If you and the girls think this place is swish, just imagine how your pals from out of town will react.

"That's it; every birthday, engagement party and Hen night is taking place here from now on. That's the end of it."

6. "Wait, maybe we should keep it a secret."

Mere moments after you decide to splash the place all over social media. you wonder if you should have just kept it secret.

"Wait, wait, wait. Delete them all – I don't want anyone else to know about this!"

7. "No! Everyone needs to know that we’re in the know."

And then comes the moment you accept that you simply can't hide your discovery, and you have to take credit for this incredible find.

"We're the people that everyone hates, and I don't even care."

8. "This place is our new Holy Grail."

You're only in the door an hour and yet everything in the place is working for you; the music, the staff, the seating, the crowd, the atmosphere.

And this means that you will now drop everything for a night out in the place, and if that means you're boring because you refuse to try anywhere else, so be it.

"It's official, ladies. We've found our place in this city."
