Trump supporters on Twitter are not happy with Tina Fey’s latest comments condemning young white females who voted for the President.

During a star studded live-streamed telethon fundraiser for the American Liberties Union on Saturday the actress and comedian hit out at the demographic.

Making reference to a home improvement channel in the States, she said: ‘’A lot of this election was turned by white, college-educated women who now would like to forget about this election and go back to watching HGTV.’’ 

According to The Independent, preliminary exit polls conducted by Edison Research, showed that Donald Trump won 45 per cent of white college-educated women’s votes while Hillary Clinton won 51 per cent.

However, when you take into account all white female voters, both with and without a college degree, Trump came out on top with 53 per cent versus Clinton’s 43 per cent.

Fey went on to urge those young female Trump voters to look at the bigger picture, saying ‘’It doesn’t affect you this minute, but it’s going to affect you eventually.”

Viewers took to Twitter to express their outrage at Tina’s comments with many saying that the star’s comments were harsh and unfair.
 

 

Tina Fey isn’t the only celebrity to criticise white female Republican voters recently.

Girls creator and leading actress, Lena Dunham wrote an essay just days after the election results in which she described her disappointment at the large proportion of white women who chose not to vote for Clinton.

“It’s painful to know that white women, so unable to see the unity of female identity, so unable to look past their violent privilege, and so inoculated with hate for themselves, showed up to the polls for him.”

If anyone knows how to tease his legions of fans, it's Harry Styles.

The former One Direction singer sent his Instagram followers into a tailspin in recent days with a series of uploads which suggested that details on his solo endeavour were not too far away.

And today, he finally put them out of their misery.

Taking to social media, the 23-year-old shared a sultry photo of himself with the title of his new material, and the date fans can get their hands on it.

 

SIGN.OF.THE.TIMES // 7.APRIL.17 //

A post shared by @harrystyles on

Alongside the photo which has amassed 468,000 likes in less than an hour, Harry wrote: "Sign of the times. 7 April 17."

And Instagram lost it.

"You finally posted!" wrote one fan, alluding to Harry's decision to share three blank uploads in recent days.

"My fragile heart can't handle this," gushed another while someone else added: "This is a dream."

Nope ladies, it's happening…

Between Summer of 69 and Everything I Do (I Do It For You), Bryan Adams has released some absolute belters in his day, and there's scarcely a house in Ireland that doesn't have at least one of the Canadian's CDs nested among others.

So, we are pretty pumped to learn that the Heaven singer will be taking to the stage to play Live At The Marquee in Cork later this summer!

Following his last sell-out show at the Marquee in 2014, the multi-platinum selling recording artist has confirmed he will bring his GET UP TOUR back to the People's Republic on 11 July 2017.

With over 65 million records sales under his belt and number 1s in 40 countries, the singer's decision to return to Cork has unsurprisingly thrilled his Irish fans.

If you want in on the action, be sure to bring your A-game next Monday at 9am when tickets for the gig go on sale.

See y'all there, ladies.

In an Instagram post which has amassed almost 100,000 likes in just 15 minutes, Chrissy Teigen has revealed that she has been suffering from postpartum depression.

Alongside a black and white shot of herself, the much-loved model thanked Glamour magazine for allowing her to share her experience, and told her followers that she is relieved to have been able to open up about the issue.

31-year-old Chrissy, who welcomed baby Luna in 2016, wrote: "I'll just say it: I have post partum depression. So much love to @glamourmag for letting me share something that was eating me up inside for months and months."

While acknowledging her popularity on social media, Chrissy admitted that she was apprehensive about sharing her experience despite her notably candid demeanour.

"One of the most amazing things about social media is the ability to interact candidly with friends and fans and it felt so weird knowing what I was going through but not really feeling like it was the right place to speak on it," she wrote.

 

I have dreamed of this day!

A post shared by chrissy teigen (@chrissyteigen) on

"I've always felt genuinely close to all of you and I'm insanely relieved you now know something that has been such a huge part of me for so long."

In the essay published in the popular magazine, Chrissy wrote: "I know I might sound like a whiny, entitled girl. Plenty of people around the world in my situation have no help, no family, no access to medical care."

"I can’t imagine not being able to go to the doctors that I need," she added.

Chrissy's post has been inundated with messages of support from fans and followers, with one writing: "I felt so bad that you felt the need to apologize because you're "famous" which is bs because you're still human and allowed to have a mental illness."

While she still has ‘rough days’, Chrissy insists is improving every day.

Ah lads. There was something in the water at last night's Oscars if the latest report emerging Stateside is anything to go by.

While the industry is likely still recovering from the now infamous Best Picture gaffe, a leading Australian movie producer named Jan Chapman is reportedly devastated to have been featured in the award show's In Memoriam montage.

Intending to pay tribute to the late Janet Patterson, a four-time Oscar nominee who passed away in 2015, the academy accidentally ran a photo of her friend and colleague Jan Chapman.

Issuing a statement following the unfortunate error, Jan said: "I was devastated by the use of my image in place of my great friend and long-time collaborator Janet Patterson."

"I had urged her agency to check any photograph which might be used and understand that they were told that the Academy had it covered," she asserted.

Paying tribute to her peer, Jan continued: "Janet was a great beauty and four-time Oscar nominee and it is very disappointing that the error was not picked up."

Lest there be any further confusion, Jan added: "I am alive and well and an active producer."

The In Memoriam tribute film featured stars including Carrie Fisher, Prince and Debbie Reynolds.

We all know if you want to see famous people flaunting their wares, you rock up to Instagram.

But if you want to see famous people brawl it out amongst each other, you head right on over to Twitter.

And if there are two people capable of attracting a crowd within the Twitosphere, it's JK Rowling and Piers Morgan.

Considering that there's no love lost between the author and the Britain's Got Talent judge, JK decided to set a trap for the journalist, and it went down a storm among her followers.

Sharing a screenshot of a very flattering article which was penned abour her, JK wrote: "Just been sent this! Could the writer let me know who he is? I'd love to thank him. #Valentine's."

Wasting no time calling JK out for sharing the complimentary piece, Piers retweeted the author, writing: "Priceless #humblebrag BS."

"Nobody plays the celebrity game more abusively or ruthlessly than you, Ms Intensively Private Billionaire'.

And the kicker?

Piers himself had written the gushing prose way back in 2010… and there was no way in hell Twitter was going to let this one go.

"Hook, like and sinker, " wrote one while another added: "You do realise you wrote this and that's the joke?"

"I don't think it has quite dawned on him that he wrote this sycophantic tripe for the mail 6 years ago," remarked another

Piers, it might be time to admit defeat on this one.

"To anybody anywhere who feels like giving up sometimes but finds it in themselves to get up and keep fighting, I share this with you," so said Emma Stone upon receiving a Golden Globe for her role in La La Land at last night's award show.

In a short but moving speech, 28-year-old Emma exhibited the warmth and humility which has helped make her one of most popular and admired actresses in the industry over the past decade.

The actress, who has been nominated twice before but failed to come away with a gong, paid tribute to her family and friends before turning her attention to anyone who has shown strength of character in the face of adversity and rejection.

Articulate, eloquent, elegant, but – perhaps most importantly – humble, Emma Stone is easily one of our favourite stars, and here are just seven reasons why we adore her.

1. She does it for the redheads… and the blondes… and the brunettes.

No matter what colour your hair is, Emma is one of the few stars who can provide a picture-perfect example of the look you're going for in preparation for your next hair appointment.

2. The words of advice we don't realise we need to hear until she utters them.

Preach on Emma, preach on!

3. Her refusal to conform to Hollywood's beauty ideals, focussing instead on what actually makes a captivating performer… and, you know, person in general.

Spread the word, Miss Stone.

4. Her goofball sense of humour, and her reluctance to tame it no matter what the situation.

Interview, award show, or press event; Emma is always naked… except for her clothes and underwear obviously.

5. When she said what most of us begin thinking around lunch-time on a Friday.

How much do we wanna have Sunday pints wih this girl?

6. The time she fan-girled so hard over a Spice Girl, we all claimed her as our spirit animal.

Would you look at how excited she is?

7. The time she was so adorable, we almost wept.

Emma, we salute you.

Earlier this year, Taylor Swift hosted a Fourth of July party so legendary she could easily have offered up her entire Thanksgiving in its honour.

But eager to continue her reign as the queen of public holidays, last week the Bad Blood singer rounded up her famous squad to mark Thanksgiving with a trip to the beach, an epic attempt at the Mannequin Challenge and, most importantly, a Disney-themed singsong.

Unlike so many Hollywood stars, Tom Hanks is a man of the people.

From photobombing wedding snaps, acting as a human lost-and-found and enduring hideously awkward conversations with drunk people, Tom Hanks is the celebrity of everyone's dreams.

So while we weren't especially surprised he reached out to a fan recently, we couldn't help but be touched by his gesture.

After receiving a sketchbook containing pictures of his various movie roles courtesy of artist Denise Esposito, Tom not only responded to the package but even sent a present in return.

Sharing the exciting moment on Facebook, Denise wrote: "For those who don't know the story – I'm trying to make it really short – nearly a month ago I gave him as a gift a Moleskine sketchbook with all his filmography drawn inside."

"He was so impressed that he gave me a present as well," Denise continued. "How amazing life is when your favorite actor sends you a typewriter and a thank you letter? How unbelievably cool is that?"

"I can't stop staring at all of this. When a gesture is worth a thousand words.. and this man really left me speechless."

Paying tribute to Denise's talents, Tom, who is a collector of vintage typewriters, wrote: "Denise Espostia, for your lovely book of sketches of all those movies."

"Here is a typewriter to do with whatever you need. Make more art! And many thanks."

How badly do we want to impress Tom Hanks?!

Earlier this week, Kanye West was hospitalised for exhaustion and sleep deprivation after he began “acting erratically” while visiting his trainer’s home.

While numerous celebrities have come forward in support of the rapper, few have surmised the situation as effectively as Lady Gaga.

In a series of tweets released from her official Twitter account yesterday, the Paparazzi singer praised the controversial star for his “bravery and courage” and asked the public to refrain from mocking the father of two over his mental health concerns.

 

I my family

“It’s not funny to joke about anyone’s possible or not possible mental illness,” she began.  “This is a sensitive time for many.  Let’s be kind and loving.”

“While I don’t agree with everything he does I hope the public shows compassion and [love] for @kanyewest and each other.  One love.  One race.”

The 30-year-old concluded her statement by writing: “@kanyewest I support and love u brother, I see in you bravery and courage to stop this tour and take care of YOU.  You are a GREAT artist (sic).”

 

 

Yesterday, John Legend admitted that he was with Kanye’s wife, Kim Kardashian, shortly before the Famous creator was hospitalised.

“I was concerned by what I saw,” he said.  “So hopefully he’s getting some rest and some time to figure things out.”

Having once been described as a “poster girl for all things Celtic Tiger”, it’s hard to align Pippa O’Connor’s photocall image with her current status as leading influencer, denim designer and doting mum.

As drastic as her journey away from the days of Krystle nightclub and Andy Quirke now seems, there’s no denying that Pippa has managed to remain relevant in the increasingly competitive circles of Irish fashion.

In addition to ditching the false tan, “bad hair extensions” and “too short” clothing, the 32-year-old has made a number of clever career moves which have enabled her to become the celebrated fashionista she is today.

Blogging: While pregnant with her oldest son, Ollie, in 2013, Pippa launched her award-winning blog, pippa.ie.  Presenting her approach to fashion, beauty, lifestyle and motherhood in a relatable style quickly enabled Pippa to gain an impressive social media following, which currently enables her to reach around half a million people per day.  By 2015, this “accidental” success story enabled its founder to retire from modelling and focus on her entrepreneurial endeavours.

The Pippa Palette: Truly placing the Kildare native on the pathway to commercial success, the Pippa Makeup Palette has been sold 150,000 times since its release last year.  Produced by Blank Canvas Cosmetics and retailing for €34.99, the Pippa Palette features six wearable eyeshadow shades as well as blush, highlighter and contour powders.

Fashion Factories: In the last two years, Pippa has entertained around 40 different gatherings with her Fashion Factories.  In a recent interview with the Irish Independent, the mum of two described how running these fashion, beauty and lifestyle events helped her deal with the untimely death of her own mother, Louise, who passed just a fortnight before Pippa’s Fashion Factory debut.     

TV Presenting: While her husband, Brian Ormond, remains one of Ireland’s most recognisable television presenters, Pippa herself is no stranger to life on the small screen.  Having been open about her desire to try presenting, last year she joined TV3’s Xposé as a guest host.  She returned to the channel this August to front The Seven O’Clock Show with Brian.

Becoming an author: In September this year, Pippa released her first book, Pippa: Tips to Live Beautifully.  Channelling her interests in fashion, beauty and lifestyle into a series of easy to apply tips, Pippa’s book aims to help others discover their own personal style while enhancing their sense of self-confidence.

National advertising campaigns: Adding yet another string to her bow, the busy blogger starred in the first TV advertising campaign for Connacht Gold Half-Fat Butter this October.  The ad – which sees a very glam Pippa posing in an oversized butter tub – has been played on RTÉ, TV3, 3e, Sky and E4.

POCO: Last month, Pippa began to tease her latest entrepreneurial project across her social media channels.  It was quickly revealed that said venture was a five piece range of jeans called POCO, which had been designed by the model herself.  Just as her book is filled with advice learned through her own life experiences, POCO was created to counteract issues Pippa has previously had while finding jeans.  This is especially obvious when it comes to the ‘Mama To Be’ style, which features an “ultra comfort” band that sits beneath the expectant mother’s bump.  POCO is currently available at pocobypippa.com.  Prices range from €85-€110.

She’s no stranger to the gym, but it seems it could be more than Ellie Goulding’s love of fitness that’s enticing her there.

The Starry Eyed singer has sparked romance rumours with her personal trainer, Bobby Rich, after it emerged that the pair had posted matching images of Ellie on their personal Instagram accounts.

The photo shows the 29-year-old songstress covering her face with a bouquet while attending a wedding which is believed to have taken place two months ago.

 

Hmmmm…Would fit perfectly in my hand luggage

On Ellie’s account, the picture is captioned: “Only went and caught the bouquet”.  Similarly on Bobby’s page it says: “She caught the bouquet.”

But while fans have become increasingly convinced that the pair are an item, a source told The Mirror that Ellie is still single.

“They’ve been hanging out for a number of weeks as friends as well as training,” said the insider.  “Their friendship isn’t something she’s keeping quiet as she’s posted about Bobby a number of times on social media.”

Since splitting with Dougie Poynter in March, Ellie has been linked to Prince Harry

But since Harry is now publicly dating Meghan Markle, could Ellie move on with Bobby?

We’ll have to wait and see.
