‘She’s insanely gorgeous’: Amy Schumer’s boyf is oh-so smitten

Jan 19, 2016

Amy Schumer has never made a secret of her disastrous dating experiences, from dating friends ('It's not good') to getting cold feet ('I'm bad because I chicken out and get scared and overwhelmed and run away').

But now that the actress is romancing carpenter Ben Hanisch, her relationship dialogue has changed a little. Don't expect Amy's next stand-up show to be about d*ickhead boyfriends, because both she and Ben are smitten, and they're not afraid to show it.

In fact, Ben couldn't resist telling his Instagram followers just how in love he is, while sharing some snaps of the couple from Sunday's Critics' Choice Awards.

"One more from last night because this girl looked insanely gorgeous and I'm in love with her," he wrote next to a photo of him and Amy in their finery.

And it's not just Ben who's been gushing on social media, either.

Just hours after heading off on tour following Sunday's awards, Amy posted to say she was "missing" her man, sharing this group photo:

Too cute.

Amy's also been dropping the L-word, telling PEOPLE magazine at the Golden Globes on Jan 9 that the pair were "in love" and were finding the relationship "really exciting."

But the comedienne was quick to point out that she hasn't exactly been a hermit for the last few years, either.

"I've never been dating anyone that the public's really known about," she explained.

"But I like that everyone thinks I've been single my whole life. They're like, 'She got her first boyfriend!'"

Beach and Sunsets! Amy Schumer’s new beau is giving us ALL the feels

What better way to celebrate a new relationship than strolling around on the beach at sunset.

That's where Amy Schumer's new boyfriend, Ben Hanisch, took her last night, and posted a photo on Instagram to prove it.

The photo showed Amy all wrapped up, walking along a beautiful beach, with the sky turning yellow and pink. *Swoon*.

And adding more romantic feelings to the post, he captioned it, "There is no place I'd rather be." *Double swoon*.

However, the night before had a completely different setting, as Amy took her new beau to the Golden Globes, and thanked him on IG "for being my after date."

Aww, we just LOVE these two together.

Did Amy Schumer actually meet her new fella on a DATING APP?

Jan 7, 2016

As many of us singletons are often caught slaving over Tinder and Happn, reports circulated today that Amy met her new man on a dating application.

We brought you the news yesterday of Amy's new bae, Ben Hanisch, but what we didn't know then is that the pair allegedly met on a dating app called Bumble.

However, while gossip sites went crazy over this piece of information, Amy was quick off the mark to refute the claims.

Taking to Twitter, Amy wrote: "Please let the record show that I have never in my life been on Bumble."

However, the app itself doesn't sound too bad. It's is all down to the woman to make the first move which sounds like it would be right up Amy's street.

Yep, matches are deleted automatically if the girl has not reached out to make contact with the guy within the first 24 hours.

The duo have revealed their relationship status on social media in the last week with Ben posting a particularly adorable message on an Instagram pic of the pair.

"Sometimes in life you get extremely lucky, and the smartest, funniest, most beautiful woman comes along when you least expect it."

"Here's to what adventures 2016 brings!"

We are super happy for Amy. Meanwhile, we will just continue to swipe right and hope.

Hot hot hot: Amy Schumer just landed herself a delicious new man

Jan 6, 2016

by Amber Saunders

Our fave funny woman, Amy Schumer was in Washington DC yesterday to support Barack Obama's fight against gun violence.

And what many people noticed about her photos of support, was that she had a handsome new guy in tow.

The comedian called the good-looking fellow her "man", and we have to say congrats Amy, he's hot.

Her new beau is called Ben Hanisch. He's a furniture designer based in Chicago, and it seems that he's pretty crazy about her.

On New Year's Eve, he shared a photo on Instagram of Amy and captioned the snap, "Sometimes in life you get extremely lucky, and the smartest, funniest, most beautiful woman comes along when you least expect it. Here's to what adventures 2016 brings!"

Awwww.

And Ms Schumer, being the funny gal that she is, made a pregnancy joke on not one, but two photos.

We're hoping this is the beginning of a very long romance, and you never know with Amy, she might really be pregnant.

WATCH: Tina Fey and Amy Poehler recreate Bad Blood and it’s GAS

Dec 20, 2015

by Amber Saunders

When asked on SNL that question that all working mothers hear – How do you balance it all? – Tina Fey nd Amy Poehler decided to answer it in a rather unusual way.

They didn't lay out their daily plans or their step-by-step routines. No, instead Tina and Amy channelled Tay Tay and made their very own version of Bad Blood with their very own squad too.

Amy Shumer is one of their leading squad members, as well as Tina's nanny, Amy's two nannies and their shared gynaecologist. Interesting.

They even dressed up in Taylor's costumes, full of tight-fit leather and gothic make-up. But it really has to be seen to be believed, ladies.

Saoirse Ronan sure has some pipes! Watch her take on Hotline Bling

Dec 16, 2015

by Amber Saunders

Is there any limit to Saoise Ronan's talents?

She has just been nominated for a Golden Globe for her performance in Brooklyn and it now turns out that the Irish actress can also sing.

In a video for W Magazine, a number of famous faces were asked to reinterpret Drake's stellar tune, Hotline Bling.

And evidently in good spirits, the Dublin born talent donned a blonde wig and belted out the tune at the top of her lungs.

While some simply read the lyrics and others attempted to act it out, we just love watching Saoirse having a good time.

Amy Schumer and Seth Rogen do a pretty hysterical reading but we also love Brie Larson giving the tune socks as well.

Watch the hilarious video below:

Baring all! The unexpected stars getting their kits off for Pirelli

Celebrity

Nov 30, 2015

by Amber Saunders

Amy Schumer and Serena Williams are just two of the enviable list of women who have posed for an up and coming 2016 calendar.

The Pirelli calendar, which is notorious for using nude models for each month, is enjoying a much needed revamp this year.

For the first time, the shots were taken by legendary photographer Annie Liebovitz and feature inspiring women mostly with their clothes ON.

“When Pirelli approached me, they said they wanted to make a departure from the past. They suggested the idea of photographing distinguished women,” said Liebovitz.

“After we agreed on that, the goal was to be very straightforward. I wanted the pictures to show the women exactly as they are, with no pretence.”

However, there are still one or two months that feature a tasteful, semi nude shot for 2016 but this time the nudity has a purpose.

In the case of Serena Williams, the tennis superstar is photographed from behind pushing a wall and the snap articulates her sheer physical strength and power.

Liebovitz noted that Amy Schumer's nude was a little bit more tongue in cheek.

"The Amy Schumer portrait added some fun. It’s as if she didn’t get the memo saying that she could keep her clothes on."

That's SO Amy.

We absolutely commend the 43rd version of the calendar for abandoning it's nude models in favour of women of achievement and it already looks like something we would hang on our wall.

As we say our goodbyes to Katniss… WHAT the hell is next for J-LAW?

Celebrity

Jennifer Lawrence has had a pretty impressive run since she took up the baton of the Mockingjay in the formidable Hunger Games series.

Yep, our girl has been on quite the journey since she first hit our screens as our ultimate girl crush, Katniss Everdeen.

Not only has she gone and swooped up an Oscar during her five years working on the series but she has also been named entertainer of the year by Entertainment Weekly, is nabbing character roles ten years her senior and is apparently worth more than any other actress of Hollywood.

Yeah, she’s pretty hot right now.

And just when you thought she could not get any cooler, she has gone and found herself a squad to rival Taylor's, has continuously killed it on the red carpet and still manages to remain her HILARIOUS self.

Now that the Hunger Games has reached its inevitable conclusion and the press stints are drawing to a close, surely Jen is going to have a lot of free time on her hands. So what is next for the rising star?

1) Joy

Jen will be straight back out doing press after Christmas for her next film, Joy, where she is once again joined by her ultimate on screen beau, Bradley Cooper as well as cinematic royalty, Robert de Niro.

The film is a biographical comedy-drama following Joy Mangano, a single mother of three who throughout four generations builds her own business empire after creating the ‘miracle mop.’

2) X-Men: Apocalypse

Jennifer will also be reprising her role as Mystique in the next instalment of the X-men series due for release in the Spring.

3) Passengers

Little is yet known about this project, except that it will be a sci-fi drama and Jen will co-star opposite Chris Pratt and Michael Sheen.

The story follows a spacecraft bringing thousands of hibernating people to a faraway planet. One passenger has a problem in his sleep chamber and he decides to wake up another sleeper, instead of spending the next 60 years on board alone.

We will have to wait until the end of next year for this one folks!

4) Writing

And of course Jennifer wants to expand her talents off screen. J-Law is working with her BFF Amy Schumer and Amy’s sister, Kim, on a comedy screenplay.

"They are the funniest motherf—kers that ever lived. They're brilliant writers, too. And fast! The script is pretty much good to go. We work really well together—it's been the most fun thing ever! All I do is laugh."

It is safe to say we are LIVING for that movie.

Amy’s ever-growing squad: Ms Schumer’s new BFF is Amber Rose

Nov 17, 2015

by Amber Saunders

Amy will soon become the next Taylor Swift as her #squad just keeps on growing. First, she became best friends with our fave actress, Jennifer Lawrence and then she struck up another friendship with Selena Gomez… and now she has moved onto Amber Rose.

On Sunday, the pair attended the VH1 Big in 2015 event and along with Entertainment Weekly, Amber honoured her new pal, Amy.

Ahhh I love this Bad Bitch @amyschumer #HowToBeABadBitch

A video posted by Amber Rose (@amberrose) on Nov 15, 2015 at 10:06pm PST

"Being on set with Amy is pretty amazing," said Amber, who starred in the Milk, Milk, Lemonade sketch on Inside Amy Schumer.

"She's constantly funny. It's not an act she puts on, it's really her personality. It's a lot of laughs, a lot of fun. She's all about girl power. I love it. She's a great friend."

I am also in this picture @amberrose #bigin2015

And then Amber even admitted that she sees a lot of herself in Amy.

"We both like to encourage women to be comfortable in their bodies. I do it through activism, and you let strange men touch on you in the subway. I like that sometimes too.

Again. I am pictured here. @amberrose is my friend on the right. We are working on her confidence

A photo posted by @amyschumer on Nov 16, 2015 at 1:29am PST

"I always have so much fun with you, and I consider you a friend. If I can get serious for a second, people. I just want to thank you for making us laugh and more importantly, making us think. You are the best and I love you so much".

Amy and Amber continued to take LOADS of pictures during the night, including a snap of Amy helping Amber with her confidence.

Move over Jennifer! It seems Selena Gomez is Amy Schumer’s new BFF

Nov 2, 2015

by Amber Saunders

Well, you can officially add Selena Gomez to Amy Schumer's long list of celebrity friends.

This weekend, Selena presented the comedian with the Hollywood Comedy Award at the Hollywood Film Awards in Beverly Hills.

"I talk about her obsessively," Selena admitted before she presented the award.

"I've tweeted her often. I try to impersonate her and it doesn't really work. I actually just met her so basically what I'm saying is I'm really happy that clearly Jennifer Lawrence wasn't able to do this tonight because I love you."

The Revival singer also praised Amy for being the first comedian "to speak to the women of my generation."

"Amy, you've inspired me to not take myself too seriously… You constantly made me feel like I'm a bad ass even though most of the time I'm not. You say things I wish I could say and you never ever make me feel bad about anything I do in my personal life."

But even after Selena's lovely words, when Ms Schumer took to the stage, she couldn't help but make a joke, "I didn't even ask Jen-Selena, you were my first choice."

‘I wanted to quit comedy!’: Amy discusses her body image issues

Oct 16, 2015

by Amber Saunders

The outspoken Amy Schumer is never one to miss out on the opportunity for a good joke.

However, while Amy is perfectly fine with using her comedic skills to point out how women in Hollywood are judged for their appearance, her own body image issues have taken their toll on the star.

The 34-year old is working with Goodwill on a project that aims to inspire women to dress themselves with confidence.

She explained that it was inspired by her own insecurities related to being in the public eye:

“Some nights I just didn’t even want to go on stage because I couldn’t find an outfit I looked good in,” she told the Today Show.

Talking to Maria Shriver about the project Amy further explained that it has been a “struggle” for her for her entire life.

“Being in the entertainment industry, standing on a stage in front of people. I can’t perform my best or be confident if I’m not sure if I’m pulling at something.”

She admitted that sometimes her anxieties concerning her public appearance made her consider giving up her career:

“Sometimes I would just want to throw in the towel and say, ‘I’m not going to do stand-up tonight.’”

She said that meeting the stylist from Trainwreck, Leesa Evans, had a huge influence on her self-confidence.

“Leesa had given me this gift of showing me how to dress and feel good,” Schumer explained, tearing up.

In an emotional moment, Amy tearfully added, “To see the person I care the most about being given those tools was just really moving for me and I just wanted to give it to every woman.”
