Is this just the best birthday present or what?

Mindy Kaling knows exactly how to celebrate her birthday in comfort. The Office star marked her 36th birthday by having a pyjama party and watching the horror flick, It Follows with a bunch of friends and a whole load of McDonald’s.

 

 

Part of my birthday is we got to wear pajamas and we are watching It Follows at lunch.

This sounds like the perfect birthday party to us!

And what present did the actress really want for her birthday? Why, a Dubsmash from friend Lena Dunham, of course!

Mindy tweeted her special request saying “I would also love a dubsmash of @lenadunham doing a portion of @tomhanks iconic “there’s no crying in baseball” speech.”

Sure enough, the talented  Ms Dunham obliged.

 

Your bday wish is my command @mindykaling

But it wasn’t all about Ms Kaling as the kind-hearted writer also tweeted asking fans what their favourite charities were so as that she could donate to them.

“For my birthday I’d like to go shopping. What are your favourite charitable organizations and why? Tweet me link & I will give!”

This is just so sweet! All in all, this sounds like a seriously great birthday to us.

And why else is she one of the most iconic women today? Why, that hair of course!

From Days of Thunder to Moulin Rouge, this strawberry blonde bombshell has rocked some pretty fantastic looks.

She was in the area – but Niall Horan went to a lot more effort to ensure he could spend another evening with rumoured love-interest Ariana Grande.

The singers were both in attendance at the swish Botafumeiro restaurant in Barcelona to celebrate the 26th birthday of their mutual friend, videographer and director Alfredo Flores.

​And Niall, bless him, flew more than 1,000km from Brussels, where he was performing as part of One Direction's One The Road Again tour, to be there.

He also then had to hop on another flight today, this time covering 1,750km to Copenhagen, where the band plays this evening.

Meanwhile, 21-year-old Ariana is due to perform at Barcelona's Palau Sant Jordi stadium tonight.

Yesterday evening, she took to Twitter to congratulation her friend.

Ms Grande wore a white halter-neck top with criss-cross detail for the birthday celebrations, teaming it with a black skirt. Mr Horan kept it simple in a black t-shirt and jeans, finishing off his look with suede boots.

Niall, 21, was out again with Alfredo on Sunday evening, with the Mullingar-man taking to Instagram to post an image of the continued revelry. Then this afternoon, the posse was seen leaving another bar in the Catalonian capital.

 

Only way to celebrate @alfredoflores is the king !

Despite spending increasing amounts of time in each other's company, Ariana and Niall have insisted that they are "just friends".

Indeed, the former has reacted angrily to insinuations that her male friends may be something more.

"I am tired of living in a world where women are mostly referred to as a man’s past, present or future PROPERTY/POSSESSION," she said in an on-line mouth-off earlier this month. "I do not. Belong. To anyone. But myself."

At 29 years of age, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have lived almost their entire lives in the public eye.

Making their onscreen debut at just 9 months old in Full House, this hard-working duo have managed to turn their acting career and their other accomplishments into their own brand dynasty.

To celebrate their birthday, we are going to take a look back at some of their biggest achievements over the years.

1. At the age of six, the girls founded Dualstar Entertainment, which made them millionaires by the age of ten.

2. When they turned 18-years-old, the teenage media moguls took over the company. The CEO of Dualstar described the girls saying, “They’re smart. They’re articulate. They’re rational.” The girls remained owners of the company until its collapse in 2007.

3. Following their film careers, the Olsen twins took a very impressive dive into the fashion industry. Aside from being described as fashion icons, the pair launched their own clothing line called Row in 2006.

4. Only last week, Mary-Kate and Ashley took home the Designer of the Year award for Row’s women’s wear at the CFDA Fashion Awards.

5. The sisters are said to have a combined worth of over €250million. 

Wow… that is a LOT to accomplish before the age of 30. We hope they are having a huge celebration tonight because after reading that it sounds like they could do with the night off!

As you have probably heard by now, Kim Kardashian rented out the Staples Centre for hubby Kanye’s birthday on Monday.

A host of celebrity pals joined them to shoot some hoops at the home of the Lakers which cost Kim an astonishing €110,000 to hire out.

Kim stuck to the basketball theme, which Kanye clearly loves, and when he got home from playing ball – she had ANOTHER huge surprise waiting for him.

Part two of Yeezy’s present was his very own basketball court in the back yard of their mansion.

It is reported that Kim had construction crews get to work on the new court while Kanye and friends were distracted in the Staples Centres game.

This new court is said to be a 7,000 sq. m addition to their home

It is clear Kim spared absolutely NO expense for the rapper’s birthday and we can’t wait to see the celebrations he throws in return for her 35th birthday in October. 

All this, just for his 38th. We can’t even imagine what she’s going to pull off for his 40th. 

Kim and Kanye's €17m Hidden Hills California home sits on 3.5 acres of land so there is definitely plenty of room for a basketball court. 

The court is in addition to two pools, two spas, fountains, a rose garden and a vineyard.

Previously owned by Lisa Marie Presely, this mansion is the epitome of luxury.

Having hired the whole 20,000-seat home of the Los Angeles Lakers, up first, Kanye got to play basketball with his favourite NBA players – and Justin Bieber too. The venue hire was said to cost upwards of €150,000.

Khloe Kardashian was first to Instagram about the news, telling her followers: 'Kim rented out staples b****!!! Him and his boys are going to bal!!!!! Happy birthday Yeezy!!!!'

The bash saw John Ledgend sing the national anthem and take to the mic to sing Kanye a happy birthday. 

A source told E! News: ''Kim rented out the Staples Centre so Kanye and his boys could play an NBA-style game with real refs and Laker girls!

''John Salley is the announcer. Houston Rockets player James Harden and rapper 2 Chainz are the coaches. John Legend sang the national anthem.''

Kanye's friends – including Justin Bieber, Tyga and Pusha T – as well as his family joined the rapper at the court and NBA legends Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal recorded special messages for the star that showed on the big screen.

Also present was troublemaker Justin Bieber, who Instagrammed a picture of himself with Kanye, before deleting it and posting a slightly different image.

Kim isn't the first celebrity to hire out the 20,000-seat home of the Los Angeles Lakers. Justin Bieber rented the venue in 2011 for a romantic dinner. 

Also present at the party were Kris and Kylie. Kylie took to instagram to show off her red dress and short bob haircut, while posing her sisters.

It might seem difficult living in the shadow of the Kardashian tribe, and now Caitlyn Jenner and her social media record shattering, but Kanye West can certainly hold his own.

Today is no different for the hip-hop superstar as June 8 is his 38th birthday. Happy birthday Kanye!

 

His thirty-seventh year was nothing to laugh at. Kanye announced that not only would he and his wife, Kim Kardashian be welcoming another baby into their family, but he also announced plans to release a new album, titled SWISH.

The star also debuted his fashion line in New York and received an honorary doctorate from the School of Art Institute Chicago.  This was in recognition of his contributions not only to music but fashion and popular culture.

Kanye also made sure to spend plenty of time with family this last year. He travelled with Kim and sister-in-law Khloe to Armenia, the Kardashian family’s ancestral country. While there Kanye surprised everyone with an unplanned concert!

Kanye’s not the only member of the West family who likes to give back. Today, wife Kim took to Twitter to wish her husband a happy birthday. Which led to the star’s birthday to be trending on the social media site for some time earlier today.

 

Kris Jenner also chimed in to wish her famous son-in-law well on his special day, despite the famous mom-ager keeping notoriously tight lipped with regard to other family matter recently. Namely her ex-husband’s recent transition from Bruce to Caitlyn.

While we all hope the hard working star enjoys his special day, we do have one burning question. Who is going to have the bigger cake, Kanye or North?

She shot to fame in early 2013 when Robin Thicke spotted a nude image of her on the front of a magazine – and asked her to feature in his Blurred Lines video.

The song went on to be a global hit – and Emliy Ratajkowski became an overnight star.

And today, she turns 24. Happy birthday, Emily!

Yesterday, the Sports Illustrated model was in New York to mark the occasion. She later posted an image to her Instagram account to thank her "beautiful friends in NYC," for a "wonderful" day of celebrations.

In it, she can be seen wearing a low-cut, black dress, which she has accessorised with a gold choker. Her hair is worn in loose waves, and she is holding in her hand a sunflower.

Today, she also shared a snapshot of her generous breakfast-in-bed birthday feast. 

Seen lounging in her hotel bedroom draped in a snug white dressing gown, Emily is surrounded by the likes of brioche, croissant, pain au chocolate, poached egg, wholemeal toast, coffee, fruit juice – as well as a bottle of chilled champagne. 

And she makes sure to thank her boyfriend, musician Jeff Magid, for the feed. 

Still a relative unknown in his chosen industry, Jeff and Emily have been dating for around six months.

On the back of her glittering modelling career, Ms Ratajkowski is lately branching out into acting. Last year, she had a part in Gone Girl, and in August, We Are Friends, in which she also stars, will be released.

She furthermore has a recurring part in The Spoils Before Dying, a comedy mini-series whose cast includes Will Ferrell and Val Kilmer.

Born in London to American parents, she grew up in California. She also regularly spent time in Bantry, Co. Cork, where her father's family is from.

Angelina Jolie hits a milestone today as the gorgeous Hollywood actress, director and producer turns 40.

It is reported that hubby Brad Pitt wants to spoil her rotten for the day as he and the brood plan some special events. 

A source told British magazine Closer, that Brad "has planned a string of surprises for Ange's big birthday on the fourth of June, including a trip to a private island, which he's hired out just for them." The actor has reportedly even bought an antique emerald ring, which he's engraved with the date they first met.

Angelina has kept us consistently fascinated throughout her career, going from wild child and two-time divorcée to being one of Hollywood's biggest leading ladies, all the while staying focused on her six children, her marriage and her role as a UN goodwill ambassador. 

All of this in mind, we think it's fair to say Angelina is our favourite Hollywood leading lady.

At first when it seemed she broke up what was the fairytale marriage of Brad and Jennifer Aniston, we were definitely all wearing the Team Aniston t-shirts. But Angelina has changed our minds and now we couldn't live without our fix of Brangelina on the red carpet. 

In honour of her 40th birthday, we have taken a look at ten of her most notable quotes:

1. This brilliant one liner about her unorthodox childhood
"When other little girls wanted to be ballet dancers I kind of wanted to be a vampire."

 

2. Her frank honesty about her rebellious years
"I didn't die young. So I am very lucky. There are other artists and people that didn't survive certain things… people can imagine that I did the most dangerous, and I did the worst… for many reasons, I shouldn't be here."

 

3. On what she looks for in a partner
"I like someone who is a little crazy but coming from a good place. I think scars are sexy because it means you made a mistake that led to a mess."

 

4. Her view on how her life has changed for the better
"I’m still a bad girl. I still have that side of me…it’s just in its place now…it belongs to Brad. Or…our adventures."

 

5. On how she and Brad met
"Not a lot of people get to see a movie [Mr & Mrs Smith] where their parents fell in love. What’s going to be funny is when they think Mom and Dad are a little bit cool. Because right now, we’re not cool Mom and Dad."

 

6. Her beautiful tribute to Brad
"Sometimes I think my husband is so amazing that I don't know why he's with me. I don't know whether I'm good enough. But if I make him happy, then I'm everything I want to be."

 

7. On having so many kids
"The great thing about having a bunch of kids is they just remind you that you're the person who takes them to go poop! That's who you are!"

 

8. Her openness about why she is leaving the world of acting behind
"I became an actress because my mom wanted me to become an actress. It took me until my mid-30s to realize I actually didn't. I actually wanted to write and direct and be more involved in politics and humanitarian issues.

 

9. The reason she chooses to do so much humanitarian work
"I have so much in my life. I want to be of value to the world."

 

10. Her advice for other young women
"Make bold choices and make mistakes. It's all those things that add up to the person you become.

Happy Birthday Angelina!

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 has been reported that Selena Gomez threw a tantrum at her best friend Taylor Swift’s 25th birthday party in New York recently.

In the super-awkward allegations, Selena is reported to have screamed and shouted about Justin Bieber, with a source revealing: “She shouted, ‘No one understands me! My boyfriend doesn’t even understand me!’” Other guests were said to have been made to feel awkward throughout the whole incident, and Sam Smith reportedly 'just stared [at her]'.

If the rumours are to be believed, then we really hope Selena is okay, because this does not sound good at all.

Taylor’s birthday was a huge A-list affair, with Queen Bey and Jay-Z in attendance, and HAIM, Karlie Kloss, 5 Seconds of Summer and Kelly Osbourne also showing their faces to celebrate with the star.
