Thanks to the rise of social media and a certain Kardashian clan, female beauty standards have changed somewhat over the past few years.

We've said bye-bye to thigh gaps and hello to voluptuous curves – and while many may see this as a step in the right direction, others suggest the new 'ideal' has simply changed from one unattainable body type to another.

One girl who believes this to be true is 15-year-old, Juliana Delacruz.

The Texas native recently earned the praise of her social media followers after she posted a picture of her petite figure, along with the caption: “just because I’m not ‘thick’ it doesn’t mean that I’m not able to love my body. #selflove”.

According to The Independent, the Instagram post received over 50,000 likes, though Juliana has since her her account.

In an interview with Yahoo LifeStyle, Juliana revealed how she deals with negativity around body image.

“I overcome this negativity by fighting with positivity. The only reason why I post about it because I want other girls who experience this to know that they’re not alone.”

She also has this advice for anyone who is struggling with self-love:  “Not everyone is going to think we’re beautiful. Everybody has their own opinion and we should try our hardest not to let the opinions bring us down.”

“I know that we all have insecurities and it’s something we can’t change but we’re all so different and unique that we should express ourselves the right way and not let what other people say or think define you.”

Preach!

Meghan Markle's producer ex-husband, Trevor Engelson, has reportedly started work on a new comedy series based on the couple's divorce.

The pair married in 2011, though split a few years later, and in 2016 , it was reported that the Suits actress had become romantically involved with Prince Harry.

It's understood the unnamed project, which will take inspiration from Meghan's current relationship, has received a pilot order from America's Fox network.

According to Deadline, the plot will focus on the complications and custody battles faced by American dad whose ex-wife goes on to marry into the British royal family.

And while the pair do not have any children together, it's clear to see that Trevor has drawn on his real life experiences – though it should be noted that the comedy is fictional and the lead characters are not based on Meghan or Trevor.

Those rumoured to be working on the project include New Girl producer, Jake Kasdan and Modern Family's executive producer, Danny Zucker.

No word word on whether Meghan approves of the script, though according to reports, the comedy will feature all fictional characters.

The Irish Charities Regulator is urging compliance in the charity shop sector after it was revealed that one shop owner had been prosecuted and three shops have ceased trading since 2016.

A public notice issued by the statutory body also stated that a further seven 'charity shops', no longer market themselves as such.

These stores have had to make amendments to their shop fronts to make it clear to the public that proceeds from sales would not be donated to charity.

Charities Regulator Chief Executive John Farrell said: "All charity shops must operate as part of a registered charity and all proceeds must go towards that charity's charitable purpose.

"If the public see a shop that they think, or any reasonable person would think, is a charity shop, but is not part of a registered charity let us know and we will step in."

If the public have a concern that individuals or shops are in breach of the Act, they can report their concerns by email or to the Charities Regulator’s dedicated phone line at 01-633 1550.

With a string hit movie roles and award nominations already under his belt, it's safe to say that Domhnall Gleeson has well and truly earned his place in the who's who of Hollywood.

Having often earned praise from critics and fans alike, it now looks like the Irish actor's co-stars are getting in on the action.

Ahead of the upcoming release, Goodbye Christopher Robin, Margot Robbie has been praising Domhnall's performance and even admitted how she wants to “keep working with him forever.”

The film follows the story of WWI veteran, AA Milne (Domhnall Gleeson), and his party girl wife, Daphne (Margot Robbie).

After years of struggling to bond with his son, Christopher, Milne eventually finds a way to connect while temporarily alone in the countryside one summer's evening.

Their magical adventures then inspire him to write and publish the stories that will eventually popularise the characters of Winnie the Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore and Tigger.

Having first worked together on the 2013 romance, About Time, Margot and Domnhall don't plan to end their professional relationship any time soon.

Speaking to Bang Showbiz, the Australian born actress said: "He is unbelievable. He was amazing and he is such an incredible actor."

"I love the choices he makes with the roles he does. He is very funny and a wonderful person."

"He is the greatest guy in the world. I want to keep working with him forever," she added.

And it looks like the love goes both ways with Domhnall also gushing over his Christopher Robin co-star.

"Margot Robbie is wonderful. She is brilliant to be around and a really good person,” he said.

"You want to hold on to those people. I have worked with her twice now and I hope that relationship continues over the years."

And with plans to work together on next year's Peter Rabbit already in motion, it looks like this talented pair are giving us a lot to look forward to.

Cara Delevingne has caused quite the stir with a recent Instagram post, with many fans accusing the star of condoning a “not like other girls” mentality.

On Friday, the model/actress shared a photo of a girl perched on a step surrounded by books, along with the caption “One girl loved reading so much she forgot how to take a selfie.”

The image clearly rubbed some people up the wrong way, as the comment section was immediately flooded with negative feedback from angry users.

Some thought she was suggesting that people who take selfies are somehow less intelligent than people who read often, with one user asking: “Why can't ya be both?”

Following the backlash, Cara revised her caption to say: "Wow! The backlash on this picture is heavy!! I am not trying to say that I am better than anyone. It's a nice reminder to me and to anyone. The power of getting lost in a book."

We can certainly understand where both sides are coming from, as selfies are often wrongly associated with an obsession with vanity and/or a lack of intelligence, and it's a tricky topic to approach without ruffling a few feathers along the way.

If there's one thing you can say about the Kardashian/Jenner clan, it's that they know how to keep the public enthralled.

No matter how many times you insist you're done keeping up with them, something will always happen to draw you back into their world.

And, unsurprisingly, the best place to hang out during these times is with like-minded folk on Twitter.

So, when word landed last night that 20-year-old Kylie Jenner is reportedly pregnant with her first child, Twitter went into meltdown, and everyone grabbed the popcorn.

While the young businesswoman and reality star has yet to confirm the reports which are currently circulating all over the world right now, social media users are wasting no time sharing their thoughts on the supposed pregnancy.

Here is just a glimpse of what you might have missed so far…

Zoe Sugg, aka Zoella, is often cited as one of the biggest beauty YouTubers, gurus and bloggers in the world. 

The 27-year-old has been filming YouTube videos in her bedroom for the best part of a decade, but the lifestyle influencer actually started out on a much bigger screen. 

The makeup devotee was actually in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, which she has previously mentioned in videos. 

 

A post shared by Zoella (@zoella) on

'I was 10 when they first started filming for the first film, and my primary school is in the village they used,' the beauty guru wrote in a blog post.

'So they came and asked everyone in my year (which was probably about 7 children) if we wanted to be extras.'

'Of course we said yes. I was in Hufflepuff. The first year, we were used in Snape's potion class scene.'

'I am not seen in the film annoyingly, but its nice to know i was there. We also got to mingle with the cast, we watched spider man with them.'

The blogger goes on to reveal that Devon Murray, who plays Seamus Finnegan in the film series, asked her out, to which she politely declined.

'I was 10 years old and boys scared me,' she said, adding a 'haha.' 

'I was also in the second film…again..you cannot see me. I went to London to be on the Hogwarts express…which was so exciting.' 

So she has been to Hogwarts AND boasts the biggest channel on YouTube? No we're not jelly, you are.

On the first show of the new season, Girls Aloud star and recent winner of Celebrity Big Brother Sarah Harding will join Ray in studio.
