Remember that time you did a day's work and managed to insult an entire nation in the process? Yeah, us neither, but that's because we're not Rich Cohen of Vanity Fair fame.

The writer, who recently penned a piece on Aussie actress Margot Robbie, has managed in just few words to insult the Australian public, and also give a frankly bizarre assessment of both Margot's appearance and prowess on screen.

And, unsurprisingly, people are absolutely fuming.

Responding to Rich's description of Australia where he writes Australia is 'America 50 years ago, sunny and slow, a throwback, which is why you go there for throwback people', social media users have taken to Twitter in their droves to pour scorn on Rich's assessment of the land Down Under.

"Clearly written by a man who knows NOTHING about Australia," wrote one. "It's full of things about the country that simply aren't true."
 

And it wasn't only Rich's description of Margot's native country that riled people, but his sexist assessment of the Wolf of Wall Street actress, writing: "She is 26 and beautiful, not in that otherworldly, catwalk way but in a minor knock-around key, a blue mood, a slow dance."

Fearful the wider public might have been fooled by Margot's hair dye and high heels, Rich hastily added: "She is blonde but dark at the roots. She is tall but only with the help of certain shoes." Thanks for that, Rich.

Drawing attention to the approach Rich took with the piece, another Twitter user wrote: "The quietly awful thing the Vanity Fair piece did is steer the conversation away from Margot Robbie's talent, which is what matters."

Twitter users have slammed the American publication for allowing the piece to go to print, but thus far neither Rich nor the magazine have responded to the controversy.

While Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is currently thrilling audiences in London, it looks like it was the cast of the play that got the biggest thrill of the run so far when Emma Watson decided to rock up at the Palace Theatre in the English capital last night.

While die-hard fans had previously questioned the fact Noma Dumezweni – a black actress – would be playing the adult Hermione on stage, Emma Watson happily gave the award-winning actress her seal of approval, and yes in spite of this, they had yet to meet face to face.

Surprising the cast last night, 26-year-old Emma arrived backstage and posed for photos with fellow actors before meeting Noma in one very moving moment,

Emma took to social media to share that moment with fans and followers, writing: "It was SO lovely to meet you" alongside a photo of the pair gazing at each other.

Noma did the same and it sounds like the actress was bowled over by their touching meeting, writing: "Now I feel I can share the maHUSSIVE joy I felt, alongside the company when a beautiful, humble and very kind young lady." (sic)

"It really was quite emotional to be in your company. And Thank you 4 your lovely self," she continued. "We spoke of you with MAJOR respect."

Fans of all things Potter-related fell all over themselves as the posts were uploaded, with one writing: "It's so beautiful to see you together. Thanks for sharing this photo with us. All Potterheads are dying."

The posts have been liked almost 50,000 times since last night.

You know how awkward it is to call someone by the wrong name? Well imagine doing something very similar, but on a much grander scale.

Done it? OK, you're now a lot closer to imagining the face-palming that went on in RTÉ offices yesterday afternoon when Coronation Street star, Jane Danson, pulled their publication up on an error.

After interviewing the popular actress for the RTÉ Guide, they took to Twitter to share the good news with followers, and majorly effed-up in the process – something which didn't go unnoticed by the star herself.

"We chat to@bbceastenders star @RealJaneDanson as she tells us what's in store when Leanne Battersy announces her pregnancy," they wrote in the now infamous post.

Copping their mistake, Jane responded, writing: "Erm I think you mean Coronation Street! I mean I have only been there 20 years!!"

She then went on to retweet the Guide's post on her own page, joking: "They had one job."

With people ripping it out of the Guide online, they quickly responded to Jane writing: "@RealJaneDanson oops!!! Sorry! Gonna blame baby brain for that! D'oh!"

Oh, the humanity.

Most of us here at SHEmazing! HQ are seriously regretting giving our Speech and Drama classes the heave-ho after primary school since hearing how much the cast of The Big Bang Theory are being paid nowadays.

According to Deadline and People, not only have the ensemble cast made a mint through production deals, bonuses and various other perks, everyone's favourite on-screen nerds have started earning a whopping $1 million per episode.

While it's well-known that the cast of Friends were on a sweet mil per ep when they finished up in 2004, David Schwimmer and co. reportedly had to spend much of their time on the show arguing for equal pay rises as the show gained viewers and rose in the popularity stakes.

So, while the Central Perk kids spent years reaching the million dollar mark, it's understood the BBT guys took just a couple of years to reach those dizzying heights after pay negotiations began back in 2014.

Up until two years ago, the cast fronting Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady's geeky bonanza were taking home $325,000 per ep, but it sounds like Chuck is more than happy with the new arrangement.

"Everybody should be very successful and happy and rich. They earned it," he told E! News. "It's a great cast. It's their time."

Just think about it – another mill in the bank every time a director yells 'That's a wrap!'

While only a new addition to the Googlebox cast, Ava Moffatt has already managed to endear herself to the viewing public.

Giving as good as she gets when it comes to her older sister, Scarlett, and ruthlessly assessing the latest TV offerings, it's easy to forget the newest reality TV star is just ten-years-old.

So, it's no surprise Googlebox fans are all OVER a throwback photo which 25-year-old Scarlett shared on Instagram yesterday.

 

Ten years ago #throwback #baby #sister

A photo posted by S C A R L E T T (@scarlett_moffatt) on

Alongside the photo which showed a teenage Scarlett with baby Ava perched on her hip back in 2006, Scarlett wrote: "Ten years ago, #throwback #baby #sister."

With Scarlett looking like she hasn't aged a day in the past decade, fans were quick to comment on the best-selling author's pose, with one writing: "Gosh, you were doing duck face before everyone."

This isn't the first throwback snap Scarlett has shared with her legions of fans and followers, having recently uploaded a split-shot of herself partying at 21.

"A very Skinny Minnie Me, " she wrote in the post which was liked thousands of times. "Ah to be 21 and a size 6 again."

Keep 'em comin', Scarlett!

Our childhoods were spent desperately trying – and ultimately failing – to fly a kite which our parents had splashed out on in the local pound shop.

Running up and down a nearby green while the useless yoke trailed behind us on the ground was as soul-destroying as it got for a nine-year-old, so we're seriously feeling for Anna Faris today.

Taking to Instagram yesterday, Chris Pratt uploaded footage of his wife looking downcast as she tried to get her damn kite to raise even half an inch over her head.

"My wife is all things…Lover. Actor. Mother. Kite master," he wrote alongside a snap of the Scary Movie actress looking like she'd literally lost the will to live.

 

My wife is all things… Lover. Actor. Mother. Kite master.

Giving fans an insight into the REAL struggle she endured, Chris then shared footage of the star's plight in a vid which has clocked up a staggering one million views since yesterday.

Encouraging his wife, who – and we don't want to cast aspersions here – definitely needs a little schoolin' in the ol' kite-flying , Chris can be heard shouting: "Come on, come on wind! Good job, it's almost up! It's almost up!"

"Haha that's literally everyone that tries to fly a kite," wrote one Insta user while another remarked: "I don't think even a tornado would send it up with the way she's holding it!"

Now, we know kite-flying was never our thing, but surely a bit of  a running start would help…

 

Come on wind!!!

Even if you think Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston are totally set to last and live happily ever after, it's hard to deny that their relationship is definitely one of the showier in the industry.

From allowing paps to get shots of their long walks on the beach to wearing items of clothing which declare their love for one another, the TayTo romance is playing out for all to see, and they seem to love it.

And while media outlets around the world are busy speculating about the pair, it seems the answer to the 'Is it real or not?' question lies with none other than…Philip Schofield.

That's right ladies, Schof apparently has the inside scoop on the romance, and he said as much during a This Morning segment devoted to the pair.

With Rylan Clarke pouring scorn on their countless PDAs and the speed with which their relationship is developing, good ol' Phil decided to add his tuppence in.

"I was talking to someone yesterday who knows him very well and said he wouldn’t do the T-shirt thing – it’s not in his nature to that," Phil revealed.

"She's leading everyone on," he added. "She's leading everyone on. I'm pretty sure. I'll stick my neck out here"

That's it! If Phil says Tom wouldn't wear a T-shirt dedicated to his girlfriend, then who are we to question him?

With news emerging that police in Sweden are currently investigating five rapes and more than 10 sexual assaults at the Bravalla Festival in Stockholm, Mumford and Sons have vowed to boycott the event until there is a substantial improvement in security.

The band, who headlined the festival which took place between June 29th and July 2nd, took to their official Facebook page yesterday to condemn the action of some festival-goer's

"We're appalled to hear what happened at the Bravalla Festival last weekend," they began in the post which has been liked more than 25,000 times in 24 hours.

"Festivals are a celebration of music and people, a place to let go and feel safe doing so," they continued. "We're gutted by these hideous reports."

Making their feelings clear, they finished the post by confirming they would not be playing at Bravalla again until something is done to prevent such crimes.

"We won't play at this festival again until we've had assurances from the police and organisers that they're doing something to combat what appears to be a disgustingly high rate of reported sexual violence."

The post has been shared more than 1,000 times since its upload, and has opened a debate among the band's followers on how to approach the issue.

"Unfortunately the effect of any actions taken by the police and/or organisers will be limited because the root of this problem is on a much deeper societal level, where boys are raised in to thinking that this kind of behaviour is okay," began one Facebook user.

"We must teach our sons that it is never okay to rape, and teach our daughters that they should never accept to have their bodies and integrety violated in any way, shape or form in their lives," she added. (sic)

Another suggested the band need to play a more active role in combating the issue, writing: "OR you play at festivals but before each gig you actually tell the audience to look around and be more aware of the problem. Be part of the solution to reach out."

According to The Telegraph, Swedish Prime Minister, Stefan Lofven, has vowed to tighten laws relating to sexual assault.

Ever since Mila and Ashton got together we've had a feeling in our bones that this was one Hollywood couple set to last.

Maybe it's because they met as up-and-coming stars, went their separate ways and eventually found their way back to each as A-listers, but we definitely think there's something extra-special about this one.

So, when 32-year-old Mila recently revealed that she and her husband of one year were literally incapable of lying to each other, we knew we were on the money with those two.

During a recent interview with Glamour magazine, the Black Swan star explained: "We can't bulls**t each other. I literally can't lie to him."

Mila, who is said to be expecting twins, admits there's no way either of them can play it fast and loose with the truth, continuing: "He can call me out on everything, and I can do the same, because there's nothing about the other person's face that we don't know."

Explaining that their profession plays a role in their ability to recognise a porky at 100 feet, Mila said: "We know when they're acting, thus we know when they're lying."

"There's nothing we don't know about each other because we've known each other for so long: the ugly, the bad, the good," she added.

"It truly is being married to your best friend. That’s a cliché; it's cheesy. But it's true."

God, if we didn't love them, we'd kinda hate them…

According to emerging reports, Lionel Messi has been sentenced to 21 months in prison after being accused of tax evasion.

The 29-year-old international footballer was accused of creating a number of fake companies in Uruquay and Belize in order to avoid taxation on image rights between 2007 and 2009.

While the footballer will not actually spend time behind bars as the Spanish system states that prison terms under two years can be served on probation, he was fined €1.9 million by a court in Barcelona and will face imprisonment if he reoffends.

It has been established that Messi, who earns more than a quarter of a million euro a week and won Fifa World Player of the Year five times, attempted to evade €4.1 million in tax over the course of two years, but insists he was unaware of these financial oversights

Messi's father, Jorge, who – according to his son – dealt with the footballer's financial affairs, received the same sentence as his son.

Love them or loathe them, the Kardashian family are going nowhere.

Public fascination with reality TV stars coupled with the family's innate desire to feed that fascination with the help of complex love lives and dysfunctional relationships means the Kardashian family will, whether you like it or not, always be prime watercooler fodder.

And with Kylie and Kendall carving names for themselves, and the arrival of Mason, Penelope, North, Reign and Saint, we're already gearing up for KUWTK: The Next Generation after Kim, Kourtney and Khloé finally decide to go live in their walk-in wardrobes and never emerge.

And by examining this obsession with the Calabasas clan, one University of Durham has just earned herself a first-class degree.

Sociology student, Eliza Cummings-Gove, was told she was 'ridiculous' for devoting her 10,000 word dissertation to the famous family, but it looks like the powers that be had other ideas, and awarded the 20-year-old Londoner the highest honour.

"I think there is a lot of cultural snobbery about it," Eliza said. "The Kardashians are everywhere in the media and they are shaping many of the girls today into the women they will become."

"In my dissertation I didn't have enough words to talk about the men in the family and their role in a post-feminist world," she explained. "The relationship between women and their partners, ex-partners and, in Rob's case, their brother is a really interesting and complex."

Eliza, who admits she was 'euphoric' upon hearing of her results, explained that she watched 80 hours of the reality show as part of her research.

80 hours? That's basically us when we have a duvet weekend…

If social media is anything to go by in the last two days, hell hath no fury like an American scorned on July 4th.

And while we're pretty sure most people found Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston's July 4th celebrations more inappropriate than Kaley Cuoco's Independence Day slip-up, that hasn't stopped the Big Bang Theory actress from dropping to her knees and grovelling like there's no tomorrow.

Taking to Instagram on Monday, the popular actress paid tribute to her country by sharing a snap of her three pets chilling out on an American flag, and people are NOT happy.

"Thank you @the_pet_handler for taking care of the squad while im out of town! 4th of July pups!" wrote Kaley in a move which Instagram users have deemed inappropriate on so many levels.

"Showing disrespect for the flag, it should never touch the ground, or let your pet stand on it!" wrote one while another remarked: "That's not a towel. I believe in the right to burn the flag in protest as long as it's in context, that's why so many people gave their lives, for freedom."

"But this is not that, this is simply disrespectful," they added "That's a flag. A symbol of what people have sacrificed for."

Acknowledging her major misstep, Kaley swiftly deleted the offending image before replacing it with heart-shaped stars and stripes snap.

 

I would like to comment on a photo I posted yesterday , that has caused lots of controversy. First off, please know, I have the utmost respect for my country. I am a proud American in every sense of the word. I understand the American flag stands for our freedom and represents American heroes , past and present. Yesterday I made a mistake by posting the picture that was taken of my sweet dogs posing on an American flag. I sincerely apologize to anyone that has been offended by my previous post. This is no way reflects my feelings toward what the American flag represents. Living in the public eye, can be extremely difficult at times. Every mistake and every imperfection is amplified. I am not perfect. I am a proud American, today, tomorrow, always.
