As the 20th anniversary of the murder of child pageant queen JonBenét Ramsey drew near, a massive influx of documentaries about the unsolved whodunit occurred.

Now, Netflix has decided to offer up a documentary of their own, but their take on the mystery is quite different than all the others. 

The trailer for the new doc is out, and it looks completely riveting. 

The documentary epic explores the murder through the theories of actors auditioning to take part in the flick, essentially breaking the third wall of filmmaking in an intimate an exploratory way. 

Casting JonBenét uses the opinions of actors, all from the Boulder, Colorado area, to tell the sorry tale. 

The film "expands the formal horizons of a documentary," according to the The Hollywood Reporter, and we must say that it looks very intriguing

The documentary first appeared at the Sundance Film Festival before it was snagged by Netflix.

We literally cannot wait to watch.

Just before Christmas, The Apollo House office buildings in Dublin were occupied by nearly 90 homeless people.

The NAMA building provided food and shelter to those in need during the Christmas period, with people from all walks of life coming across the country to help out.

And with all of the occupiers being housed elsewhere, you could say that Ireland really came together to support these people.

Now, TV3 are set to air a special documentary about exactly what happened inside that building.

Inside Apollo House – The Untold Story will air this Thursday, February 23, and will tell the inside story of how a group of people took over the office block and turned it into a shelter for those in need.

It will also feature candid interviews with key players such as Glen Hansard and Jim Sheridan.

 

Inside Apollo House – The Untold Story will air on TV3, this Thursday at 10pm.

The Late Late Toy Show is easily one of the most popular nights on the Irish TV calendar.

Both young and old alike tune in to see what trouble Tubbers will get into, but as well as that, the talent is a huge part of the show.

Kids from all over the country want to perform on it, and now for the first time ever, we're going to get a little sneak peek into what actually goes on behind-the-scenes.

RTÉ are filming a three-part documentary which will look into what goes on in the audition phase, much like the smaller 2015 documentary, The Late Late Toy Show Unwrapped.

Hillary Jones, the show's producer, said in a press release: “We really want to capture the joy and excitement of the performers taking part in The Late Late Toy Show.

“Last year, The Late Late Toy Show Unwrapped, gave viewers a small glimpse of the regional auditions as we looked back over the history of the show but this year we’re bringing them right into the heart of the process.

“For the children auditioning this is a once in a lifetime experience. We’re aiming to give viewers a real insight in how the biggest night on Irish television comes together by following some of the little stars auditioning to take part and going behind the scenes with the team who put the show together.”

The documentary will air a week before the Toy Show, November 25.

A lack of time; a lack of money – oh, and no invites: unfortunately, most of us can't just drop everything to hit the current crop of fashion weeks (sob) in New York, London, Paris or Milan.

However, we can still (hurrah!) live out our stylish dreams through the magic of Netflix. 

And right now, the streaming service is offering a LOAD of amazing behind-the-scenes films and documentaries that embody all things fashion. 

In fact, a quick peruse of the Netflix catalogue confirms it has A LOT to offer any budding fashionista.

International designers, the dark side of modelling and even (swoon!) Anna Wintour herself: it's positively a treasure trove.

So SHEmazing! says sit back, relax… and enjoy the fashion. 

 

1) Dior And I

Dior And I is an exciting behind-the-scenes glimpse of how Raf Simons's made his first collection for Christian Dior in 2012.

Raf has both his reputation and the legacy of Dior on the line with only eight weeks to complete the collection. Mr Simons and his dedicated team work against the clock to make his vision become a sublime reality. 

 

2) The Director

This documentary is an intimate portrait of Gucci's creative director, Frida Giannini. The Director spans 18 months inside the iconic Italian fashion house. Exploring the inspiration behind the brilliant woman, we see her own evolution as well as Gucci's. 

 

3) Paul Smith

In this behind-the-scenes film, we watch Paul Smith celebrate his 40 years in the business. Director Stéphane Carrel follows Mr Smith from London to Paris and then Tokyo. The film also looks at how he builds a brand and an empire from English pop culture. 

 

4) Advanced Style

Advanced Style examines the world of seven unique New Yorkers whose eccentric look and booming spirits have guided their approach to ageing. Based on Ari Seth Choen's blog of the same name, the movie paints a moving portrait of independent, fashionable women ages 62-95.

It also looks at how they challenge the conventional ideas of beauty and ageing in the industry. 

 

5) The September Issue

This movie takes the viewer inside a world they only think they know. Anna Wintour, the legendary editor-in-chief of Vogue for the last 25 years, is the most powerful figure in fashion. With unprecedented access, we see the build up to her lusted September issue. 

 

6) Bill Cunningham New York

Bill Cunningham is an 80+ New York Times photographer. For decades, Bill has been obsessively and inventively documenting fashion trends and high-society fashion soirées.

Many fashion greats such as Anna Wintour, Tom Wolfe, Brooke Astor and David Rockerfeller all appear in the movie – all out of their love of Bill. Mr Cunningham's enormous body of work is more reliable than any catwalk as an expression of time, place and fashion. 

 

7) Chasing Beauty

What is beauty and is it worth the cost? This is the question posed to supermodels, photographers, agents and the like in the world of fashion. The documentary sees a rare glimpse of the dark side of modelling and how many people actually gain real success and happiness from it.

It looks like Ed Sheeran is getting ready to release a film of his own… and we can’t wait!

The Give Me Love singer has sold out three concerts in Wembley Stadium in July and a camera crew is going to be there to capture the action.

The film is going to be a documentary that follows the 24-year-old backstage at the concerts and, of course, the gigs themselves. Between the three concerts, Mr Sheeran will be performing for approximately 27,000 fans.

Ed is following in the footsteps of Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, and One Direction, all who have released their own concert documentaries, to great response.

Speaking about the upcoming film Ed said, “We are doing something for the Wembley Stadium gigs. It will be a documentary. It’s going to go out in cinemas in the UK and Europe. But it’s just going to be a one-off thing.”

The Photograph singer is playing in Dublin’s Croke Park on the 24th and 25th of July. Tickets are still on sale for €80 but if that is too pricey at least now you will be able to enjoy the Ed Sheeran concert experience for a lot cheaper and from the comfort of your own home!

The family of Amy Winehouse are not pleased with the new documentary about the life of the late singer.

The documentary, Amy, is set to get its debut screening in May at the Cannes Film Festival, but her family do not want to be associated with it because it is "misleading" and "contains some basic untruths".

A spokesman for the Winehouse family said they "would like to disassociate themselves from the forthcoming film about their much missed and beloved Amy", because they claim that it is "misleading and contains some basic untruths".

They believe the documentary does not show the "huge effort from all concerned to help Amy at all stages".

Winehouse's father, Mitch, 64, told The Sun On Sunday: "I felt sick when I watched it for the first time. Amy would be furious. This is not what she would have wanted." 

The spokesperson also said: "The narrative is formed by the testimony of a narrow sample of Amy's associates, many of whom had nothing to do with her in the last years of her life. Counter views expressed to the filmmakers did not make the final cut." 

The role of Blake Fielder-Civil in Amy's life is also not fully acknowledged. 

The talented singer died in July 2011, aged 27, due to alcohol poisoning, after previous battles with drugs and alcohol

The first official teaser trailer for the Amy Winehouse documentary has been released. 

Created by the makers of the BAFTA-award winning SENNA, AMY contains much archival footage of the tragic singer that many fans will never have seen. 

From the beginnings of a glittering career, to her demise from alcohol, the documentary tracks Amy's life and features her own thoughts on fame: "I don't think I'm going to be at all famous. I don't think I could handle it. I would probably go mad, d'ya know what I mean, I'd go mad."

Amy passed away aged just 27 in the summer of 2011.

We love a good pizza as much as the next gal here at SHEmazing, but this guy has really gone overboard. Dan Janssen eats nothing but pizza every day – and only cheese pizza. He doesn’t even get any goodness out of a few onions or mushrooms scattered on top. And FYI, he’s not overweight – though he DOES have diabetes.

How is this man still alive? Watch the short documentary here.
