All women, everywhere are in possession of one – but it seems that a lot of us actually struggle when it comes to saying the word: 'vagina'.

In contrast to male genitalia, of which there are numerous throwaway phrases, women also feel uncomfortable coming up with an 'acceptable' reference for their sex organs.

Even the word 'penis,' somehow seems far more ordinary and everyday. 

According to a survey of 1,000 women and released this week by Ovarian Cancer Action, two-thirds of those aged 18 to 24 would be too embarrassed to even use the word vagina at their doctor’s office.

Which is in contrast to older ladies over the age of 65: just one in ten in that age bracket reported the same thing.

More than half of younger women – 57 percent – would also rather just Google their symptoms than visit their GP to talk about vaginas and vulvas.

Ovarian Cancer Action, a British charity, did the survey to encourage younger women to speak up about their gynecological health. 

In Ireland, ovarian cancer is the fourth most common strain affecting women: more than 300 new cases are diagnosed annually.

Although relatively rare, some of us carry a genetic mutation that makes us more susceptible to developing the disease.

Angelina Jolie earlier this year revealed that she had undergone preventative surgery – having her ovaries and breasts removed – because she was a high-risk candidate.

​Reddit has been responsible for some pretty interesting, and amazing things, as well as some other questionable events but we won’t dwell on those.

However, it is where That Nordic Guy, a digital artist, and his incredible work was first appreciated.

Since then, Buzzfeed have also caught on to his genius and over the past number of days we have been overwhelmed by an awful lot beauty taking over the internet. For example, Game of Thrones actress Natalie Dormer and Emma Watson.

That Nordic Guy is responsible for digitally altering the faces of some of our favourite, and most genetically blessed celebs. In doing so, he morphs their features to somehow make them even more beautiful than you imagined.

We know it sounds pretty creepy, and the internet it flooded with ridiculous celebrity memes and face swapping trends. These however are entirely different. They are actually quite stunning.

According to the man himself, he started doing this work when he needed original characters to put faces to the names of those he had created for a short story.

Five years later, and we are still in awe of these images. Seriously, you have to take a look. We think you will be quite impressed.

This one even moves:

Angelina Jolie and Megan Fox:

Taylor Swift and Emma Watson:

Colin Farrell and The Terminator even got combined:

And all of the Hemsworths, basically:

Our minds are blown.

Never a dull moment in the Jolie-Pitt household!

Angelina has been announced as the executive producer for an upcoming animated film called The Breadwinner.

Variety reports that the film will be produced by Angie’s production company Jolie Pas Productions.

The film will be directed by Nora Towme, who previously co-directed The Secret of Kells, and is based on Deborah Ellis’ young adult novel. It follows the story of a young girl living under the Taliban regime in Afghanistan.

Parvana must disguise herself as a boy in order to become the breadwinner for her family as her father was wrongly imprisoned.

Speaking about the project Angelina said:

“I am delighted to be working with a talented team of artists who I know will do justice to the richness, creativity and strength of Afghan culture and to little girls like Parvana.”

She noted that millions of young women like Parvana are “growing up today under oppression or conflict, and helping their families to survive in those conditions.”

 

 

 

 

 

The project is currently casting and in pre-production with the Cartoon Saloon team from Kilkenny already working on animation for the film.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are back in business, people.

It's been a whole decade since the famous couple have graced our movie screens together but we won't have to wait much longer as they have just released the first trailer for their new movie, titled By The Sea. 

Ange and Brad's newest project is a far cry from the 2005 action-packed comedy Mr. and Mrs. Smith. In By The Sea, Angelina plays Vanessa, a broken woman in the midst of a dysfunctional relationship with her husband Roland, played by her real-life spouse Brad.

In an effort to deal with problems in their marriage, the troubled couple resort to drugs and violence. 

Angelina revealed that she and Brad actually filmed some scenes while they were on their honeymoon last year… not exactly the most romantic way to celebrate being newlyweds.

In an interview with Stylist Magazine Jolie admitted there was a weird vibe on set at time. "We kept joking that all of the crew felt like they were living in a house where the parents were fighting and you don't know where to stand or look," she said. Kind of strange, no?

The stunning actress wrote and directed the flick, set in a seaside town in France back in the 1970s. 

If the trailer is anything to go by we are going to be taken on an emotional rollercoaster ride with this one. Watch it now:

We knew there was someone missing from the crowds at Guy Ritchie’s wedding this week.

While her husband Brad Pitt partied the night away with some famous pals, including David Beckham, Sting and Claudia Schiffer, Angelina Jolie had other matters to attend to.

 

…that night at Guy's I hung out with these Guys… #jaxguyjuly #InspiriTour #lucacalvani @robertogirombelli

The Oscar-winning actress was in Burma on a four-day trip with Aung San Suu Kyi.

She joined the country’s opposition leader and democracy campaigner to visit workers in the country who are forced to be employed in horrific conditions.

Angelina met factory workers, most of whom are women, at an industrial zone on the outskirts of Burma’s largest city. The pair witnessed first-hand how the women work and live and also toured inside the factory.

Earlier this week Angelina, who is a special envoy for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, travelled to Kachin state. This has become home to tens of thousands of displaced people since the ceasefire between Burma’s government and rebel fighters broke down in 2011.

This is her first visit to the country which has only recently been released from military rule.

While Angelina was busy in South-East Asia, husband Brad enjoyed a night with friends at the star-studded bash to celebrate Guy and Jacqui’s wedding.

Earlier this week a source had told The Mirror: “The guest list is jaw-dropping. It’s like the Oscars. If even half of them come, it will be the party of the year.”

It certainly looked it! We nearly lost track of all the celebs spotted at the festival-themed nuptials.

Parents to three young children, they've been together for six years – not to mention engaged since 2012.

And today – finally! – 33-year-old model Jacqui Ainsley married film director Guy Ritchie, 46, in a lavish ceremony attended by the crème de la crème of showbiz. 

Social media snaps show that the bride looked stunning in an A-line lace dress and floral headband.

There to witness their Big Day are the likes of Brad Pitt and ­Angelina Jolie as well as George and Amal Clooney, who themselves married less than a year ago.

Sting and wife Trudie Styler arrived this afternoon, as did Jemima Khan, Gwyneth Paltrow and David Beckham – all three of whom appear to be attendance without a plus-one. 

Producer Matthew Vaughn, who worked with Guy on Snatch and Lock, Stock, and his wife Claudia Schiffer also witnessed the happy couple tie the knot earlier today.

Celebrations are currently kicking off, with chef Jamie Oliver doing the food with the reception – which is being held at Ashcombe House, the couple's sprawling country estate in Wiltshire in south west England.

The wedding seems to have a music festival feel to it, with teepees and tents set up around the grounds. 

A source told The Mirror earlier this week: “The guest list is jaw-dropping. It’s like the Oscars. If even half of them come, it will be the party of the year.

“There are marquees being set up in the gardens and food by Jamie’s chefs. It’s going to be amazing.

“Guy is well connected and liked, so it’s no surprise there are so many people invited to his wedding.”

Guy's eight-year marriage to Madonna famously ended in 2008. He and Jacqui have three children – Rafael, three, Rivka, two, and Levi, one, while Guy also has two sons, Rocco and David, from his first marriage.

The world's most famous family raised a few eyebrows yesterday when they stopped for lunch somewhere highly out of character.

With two world-famous actors (including one UNICEF ambassador) as their parents, you'd be forgiven for thinking Knox, Vivienne and co. lived on a freshly prepared vegan diet at all times. but it seems that's not always the case.

Brad, Angelina, 13-year-old Maddox and 9-year-old Shiloh stopped at a Subway shop in Glendale, California yesterday and by the sounds of it they ordered like pros. According to a member of staff, the foursome left with two meatball marinara footlongs, a six-inch chicken teriyaki and some children's meals. The bill came to $44 (€40) – hardly an A-list price tab – and Brad even left a tip of $6 (€5.50).

The Jolie-Pitts unexpected visit soon caught the attention of the media, with their pitstop even making a few news bulletins in the US later that day.

It seems the Hollywood couple had been visiting a Toys R Us store in the area with their brood before heading ice-skating for twins Knox and Vivienne's seventh birthdays. "They rented a bus and headed for an afternoon of ice-skating at Iceland Ice Skating Center," an onlooker told Us Weekly. "Knox and Viv were bundled up with snow hats and mittens. They were really excited about it."

This is not the first incident of late in which Brangelina have ensured their children live a somewhat normal life. Last month the stars and their six kids flew in economy class while travelling from Paris to Nice, waiting at Charles de Gaulle airport for two hours along with other passengers and putting their luggage in the overhead lockers themselves. 

First flying like us normal folks, then eating like us… what's next?

So maybe this is the key to a long lasting celebrity marriage.

Actress, and wife of Les Miserables actor Hugh Jackman, Deborra-Lee Furness has said that she’s banned Hugh from working with a certain A-lister.

In the past Hugh has gotten up close and personal with a number of Hollywood ladies including Halle Berry and Nicole Kidman. But, Angelina Jolie is the one co-star Deborra is not allowing Hugh work with.

Not too surprising considering Angelina does have a history of romance with her co-stars; Johnny Lee Miller (remember that weird wedding t-shirt?), Billy Bob Thornton, and rumours floated that she was with Colin Farrell for a while too.

The couple were interviewed by The Today Show and asked how they cope with seeing one another getting hot and heavy with other actors.

Deborra joked “I’ve told his agent he’s not allowed to work with Angelina.”

While we’re sure that Deborra has absolutely nothing to worry about, we do empathise with the 59-year old, considering Angelina is known for being the woman of many men’s dreams. Also the fact that she hasn’t ever been afraid to date her co-stars. And then marry them- ahem, Brad Pitt.

After 19 years of wedded bliss and two children, Oscar, 14 and Ava, 9, Deborra just isn’t willing to take any chances.

The blonde Aussie told joked in the interview that she doesn’t have anything personal against Angie, “I’m sure she’s very nice and I love what she’s doing – shining a light on awareness for adoption…just kidding.”

The couple were interviewed before they took part in the Adopt Change fundraiser in Melbourne, Australia.
During the interview the pair also revealed that they never spend more than two weeks apart when working, a promise they made early in their relationship.

“We’ve managed to keep that,” 46-year old Hugh said proudly.

So Deborra probably has nothing to worry about after all!

“I just want to find my Brad Pitt."

Don’t we all Veronika? This 27-year old from Vancouver, Canada might be halfway there already. The internet sensation has been told she’s a dead ringer for actress Angelina Jolie since 2011.

At the time Veronika was working as a shop assistant and thought it was “bizarre”. But, she says “Angeline is absolutely gorgeous so I was obviously flattered too.”

In 2011 Veronika started to get lip fillers, and since then she’s been blowing up the internet with everyone from Us Weekly to E! online remarking on the similarities between the two.

Veronika says that she’s often complimented for her looks,  but she’s still looking for her prince charming, "I've been single for over a year now after a five-year relationship ended, and I'd love to meet someone special.”

She says that it’s proving difficult for her with men often getting nervous when she talks to them. She says that men are “intimidated by the way I look”.

She does remind us of Angie. The similarities stop there though, as Veronika models a far larger bust than her celebrity doppelganger.

The model, now based in Dubai, has undergone two breast augmentations. When she was in school she was bullied; being called “flat-chested” and “chubby”.

Now she treats her almost 650,000 Instagram followers to snaps of her in the gym, and using her waist trainer.

We’re getting lots of Tomb Raider vibes with the braids and that pout.

Her appearance can have a downside. According to Veronika, “no normal, respectable guys are ever keen, but I'm too shy to approach men myself."

According to her social media accounts, Veronika might be too busy in the future to let the “creeps” bother her anyway. She’s been doing plenty of photo shoots, we wonder if an acting roles are in her future?

She could play Angelina’s sister, that’s for sure.

We all love going to the cinema every now and then. But, sometimes, we just want to throw our hair up, put our slippers on and watch the latest film with a bowl of popcorn from the comfort of the couch.

Netflix is great for these nights in but the problem is you are never able to see the latest release or the box office hit that you are dying to watch.

Well, have we got good news for you! The one and only Brad Pitt has teamed up with Netflix and given them total distribution rights to his upcoming film, War Machine.

As well as heading the production of the film with his company Plan B, the Moneyball actor is starring as the US general in control of American forces in Afghanistan.

It is a satirical comedy that is based on the book The Operators: The Wild and Terrifying Inside Story of America’s War in Afghanistan. The book was written by Michael Hastings, a Rolling Stone contributing editor and a reporter for Buzzfeed who tragically died at the age of 33 after a high-speed car crash in 2013. 

Hastings toured Afghanistan with General Stanley McChrystal and after documenting the General badmouthing the White House and their handling of the war, McChrystal was recalled to Washington by President Obama, and it ultimately ended in his resignation. Brad Pitt is to play Gen. McChrystal.

The ever-so-handsome 51-year-old’s involvement is a huge coup for Netflix, as this is their first distribution deal with a movie of this calibre. This is going to gain the company some serious credibility in the film production world, to go along with the reputation they already have for TV series, such as House of Cards. Filming is set to begin in August. 

If you’re worried that Brad may be taking a step towards TV movies, don’t fear. That chiselled jaw will still be gracing the big screen with loads of upcoming projects, including a new film where Brad and Angelina will star beside each other. By the Sea is a romantic drama directed by the beautiful Angelina.

We couldn't be more excited to see them playing husband and wife on screen again!

She was the baby that confirmed her parents were so much more than just another Hollywood fling – and today (can you believe it) Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt turns nine. 

Happy birthday, Shiloh!

The gorgeous child of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt was born in Swakopmund in the southeastern African country of Namibia on May 27, 2006. 

And although her mum and dad met and fell in love on the set of Mr & Mrs Smith (when he was infamously still married to Jennifer Ainston) they didn't confirm their union until four months before Shiloh's birth – by which stage Angie was sporting a noticeable baby bump. 

At the time, the actress was already a parent to Maddox, now 13, and Zahara, ten. 

With Brad, she also went on to adopt Pax, 11, and give birth to twins Knox, a son, and Vivienne, a daughter, who are now six. 

Shiloh is know for her love of dressing like a boy. She shuns girly dresses and anything pink or pastel, and also asks to be called 'John'. 

"I think she is fascinating, the choices she is making," Ms Jolie has said of her daughter's appearance. 

"And I would never be the kind of parent to force somebody to be something they are not. I think that is just bad parenting."

At the time of her birth, her pictures were sold to a glossy magazine for an eye-watering €7m – a record-breaking figure which her parents used to support several charities close to their hearts.

After seven years and six children together, Brad and Angelina announced their engagement in April 2012.

Last August, along with her five siblings, Shiloh witnessed her parents marry in an intimate ceremony held at their private estate, Château Miraval, in southeastern France.

It’s the app that has absorbed millions since launching and going viral last week – how-old.net calculates your age based on your facial structure and features.

Microsoft has now revealed that 33m people have used the software so far, collectively offering up 240m pictures for analysis.

Branded the ultimate vanity device, the outcomes have occasionally proved controversial. Indeed, users have been taking to social media in drones to share their delight and dismay at the results.

“Sorry if we didn’t quite get the age and gender right,” Microsoft offers by way of a disclaimer, “we are still improving this feature.”

But what about preened and groomed celebrities? With access to the best stylists, dieticians, cosmetics, and beauty treatments that money can buy, surely they look years younger than the Average Joe and Jane.

Not always so, it seems. Here at SHEmazing! we put some of our favourite famous faces through the app – with sometimes surprising results.

The stars the How Old app reckons look older:

Clockwise: Kylie Jenner is still just 17, and Lindsay Lohan is actually 28; 
22-year-old Selena Gomez, and Margot Robbie, who is 24

 

And the ones that have been deemed to look younger:

Clockwise: Demi Moore is incredibly 52; Victoria Beckham is actually 41;
Halle Berry has already marked her 48th birthday, and Jennifer Lopez is 45

 

Finally, the celebrities How Old got (pretty much) spot on:

Clockwise: Duchess Kate is indeed 33; Angelina Jolie is 39;
Michelle Keegan is 27, and Laura Whitmore has just turned 30
