Ladies of the moment, Kourtney Kardashian and Kylie Jenner have washed off a lot of bad press lately, but it seems the girls weren't thinking too much about it last night as they dazzled at the Golden Globes after-party.

With boy drama coming from every angle – Kylie's boyfriend Tyga has been accused of cheating and Kourtney's ex, Scott has been pictured with another woman – the sisters put on a show in glittering dresses as they attended the InStyle and Warner Bros Golden Globe after-party bash. 

Kourtney showed off her toned figure in a Julian MacDonald dress and Kylie wore a princess-like two-piece. 

And of course the ladies weren't shy of the camera, posing for pictures with any chance they got. 

At the end of the night, it seems like Kourtney and Kylie had a ball, and let's hope they forgot about their man troubles for one night.

We think it's safe to say that whenever anyone makes a mistake now, we're going to say they're pulling a Steve Harvey, after his Miss Universe debacle.

Well, Jamie Foxx pulled the ultimate Steve Harvey at the Golden Globes last night when he was presenting the award for Best Original Score. 

He announced the winner to Straight Outta Compton – who didn't actually win – and then quickly retracted his statement, repeating Steve's "it's right here on the card" apology speech.

Now, of course, Jamie was joking, and the winner, Ennio Morricone, composer of The Hateful Eight, wasn't even there to accept the award. 

Instead, the writer of the film, Quentin Tarantino, took to the stage to accept the award. But in classic Quentin fashion, he managed to annoy people while making his speech, and referenced "that ghetto" in a bad light during it. 

So, when Jamie went back on stage to welcome his daughter, Corinne, this year's Miss Golden Globe – he took the opportunity to shut down Mr Tarantino, questioning his "ghetto" comment for the whole world to see. 

And of course, fans reacted on Twitter to the slip:

A huge congratulations is in store for Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Jason Statham. 

The pair are set to tie the knot after five years of dating, their reps have confirmed to E! News.

The blonde bombshell debuted her engagement ring on the Golden Globes red carpet last night, and we have to say, she had the biggest grin plastered on her face. 

The news comes after the 28-year-old model and 48-year-old actor enjoyed a trip to Phuket, Thailand. Over the past few weeks they were looking as loved-up as ever as they were seen hitting the beach and soaking up the sun. 

We just can't wait to see her wedding dress! *Swoon*.

Ah, award season. We all love the glitz and glam of awards season, but sometimes the celebs choices don't exactly live up to expectations.

On the other hand, there are the few that totally nail it, and look better and better every year. Here, we look back on last night and the stars that dominated the red carpet… and the ones that, well… didn't. 

Best dressed

Lady Gaga – Versace

We don't think we've ever seen Lady Gaga look so ladylike. We adore her black velvet gown.

 

Kate Hudson – Michael Kors Collection

Keeping in with the hottest trends, Kate can really rock a crop top. Sure with her bod, she can get away with anything.

 

Saoirse Ronan – Saint Laurent

Saoirse hit all the right notes last night. Wearing a Saint Laurent gown, she looked like a golden goddess. 

 

Jenna Dewan Tatum – Zuhair Murad

Channing must be one happy man! Jenna looked oh-so-elegant in this Zuhair Murad dress.

 

Cate Blanchett – Givenchy

Taking inspiration from the 1920's, Cate nailed this look fro head to toe. 

 

Jennifer Lopez – Giambattista Vali

The ever-daring J Lo stood out from the crowd in this yellow Giambattista Vali dress. She never fails on the red carpet.

 

Kate Bosworth – Dolce & Gabbana

We are totally crushing on Kate's Dolce & Gabbana dress. All the sequins, but in a great stand-out colour.

 

Worst dressed

Katy Perry – Prada

While there's nothing exactly wrong, we think it's a bit boring for award season. She does look smokin' hot though.

 

Julianne Moore – Tom Ford

Julianne has a fab body for her age, but we think this sequin gown is a bit much and the light is hitting it in all the wrong places.

 

Eva Longoria – Georges Hobeika

We can see where Eva was going with this look, but it reminds us a bit too much of our granny's tablecloth. Sorry, Eva. 

 

Sophia Bush – Narciso Rodriguez

Oh, Sophia. You were our fave in One Tree Hill but we're afraid, like Katy, this look is just too boring. 

 

America Ferrera – Jenny Packham

And the debs dresses have arrived! While America shines bright in yellow, we feel like we've gone back to debs season. Not good. 

 

Undecided

Heidi Klum – Marchesa

Let's be real, Heidi always looks great. But, we're so undecided on this dress. We love it, yet the feathers are a bit over-kill.

 

Jennifer Lawrence – Dior

J Law can get it sooo right; and then so wrong. We're kinda getting thrown off by the big diamond necklace, but still, she looks very elegant. 

Trending

Jennifer Lawrence may have wowed in a red Dior gown at last night's Golden Globes, but her behaviour throughout the night didn't get quite the same level of praise.

The actress, who scooped the Best Actress In A Musical Or Comedy award for her role in Joy, publicly hit out at a reporter for using his phone in the Press Room.

Interrupting the reporter midway through his question, Jennifer said, "You can’t just live your life behind your phone bro. You can’t do that, you’ve gotta live in the now."

When the interviewer, who didn't appear to have English as his first language, tried again to ask how Jennifer felt about her chances for the Oscars, she interrupted once more to say, "We're at the Golden Globes, if you put your phone down you would no that."

Cue nervous laughter from the assembled press – and a fair few angry tweets:

Another reporter stepped in to defend the actress though, saying she was well within her rights to complain:

It didn't seem to be Jen's night in terms of pleasing the press, however. 

Earlier in the night, the actress' oh-so awkward interaction with Katy Perry during an E! interview on the red carpet had also raised eyebrows for some viewers:

We doubt Jennifer lost too much sleep over the criticism though – she was no doubt too busy celebrating her huge win.

It's been a huge 19 years since the world first saw Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio on screen in Titanic, and we're still not over how cute they are.

In fact, the two stars reunited at last night's Golden Globes, and even seeing them hug was enough to send Twitter into overdrive.

A clip from the show's live broadcast shows Kate and Leo chatting animatedly – no doubt about their respective Best Supporting Actress and Best Actor wins – before sharing a hug:

Jack and Rose, is that you?

Kate was one of the first to pay her congratulations to her former co-star after he accepted his award for Best Actor in a Motion Picture (Drama) for his role in The Revenant.

As for the English actress, she took home a gong for her role as Joanna Hoffman in Steve Jobs alongside Michael Fassbender.

While the pair both won last night, it remains to be seen if they'll get the same dose of good luck at the Oscars, with Leo's 22-year fight for a win still continuing.

For now though, we're just happy to see them back together – and so is everyone else, it seems:

Jack & Rose 4 EVA.

If the people of the world hadn't heard of Tropical Popical after it got a triple shout-out on The Ellen Show last week, they certainly have now.

Actress Saoirse Ronan couldn't resist name-checking the popular Dublin nail salon on the Golden Globes red carpet in LA this evening, as she recalled the moment she heard about her Best Actress nomination.

"I was getting my nails done in a salon in Dublin and I had no idea the nominations were coming out that day" she told E! host Giuliana Rancic.

"By the time I was doing all the reaction phoners afterwards, I was sitting in the corner of this salon, it's called Tropical Popical, there's lots of palm trees and flamingos, and everyone was getting their nails done and drinking champagne around me."

Speaking about last week's Ellen Show mention, salon owner Andrea Horan told SHEmazing it was a dream come true.

"It feels like it's fake.The fact that she [Saoirse] was actually describing the salon was just amazing. It's gone mental since then, we've had people calling from all over."

Carlow native Saoirse looked absolutely breath-taking in a white Yves Saint Laurent number for her appearance at tonight's awards, showing she's more than able to handle the high stakes of the US awards circuit:

She was at the centre of some geographical controversy this week, as UK channel Sky News claimed her as "one of our own" when annoucning her BAFTA Best Actress nomination.

Presenter Richard Suchet today apologised for any offence caused:

Wishing our gal Saoirse the best of luck this evening!

Saoirse Ronan might be Hollywood's darling right now after her stellar performance in Brooklyn, but her name is clearly still causing everyone a few issues.

While primary school classes in Ireland are littered with Muireanns, Aoifes, Siobháns and Saoirses, the same is most definitely not true on the other side of the Atlantic, where fans are finding poor Ms. Ronan's name a bit tough to get their heads around.

But not to worry, as Ellen DeGeneres has stepped in to help out – just in time for awards season. 

The best way to avoid people pronouncing your name wrong at an awards ceremony? Wear a massive sign over your red carpet gown, of course.

Saoirse appeared on Ellen's show in LA yesterday ahead of this Sunday's Golden Globes, and as a thank-you for coming on she was presented with a nifty sandwich board emblazoned with the words "Hello, My Name Is Sur-Sha." 

Complete with pockets for Moet champagne and other red carpet snacks, obvz.

While on the show, it seems Saoirse also gave a shout-out to her hometown – and her favourite nail salon in Dublin's fair city, Tropical Popical.

The actress was getting her nails done at the South William St salon when she heard about her nomination, and staff there got a very exciting call yesterday from LA ahead of the Ellen interview's broadcast:

Ellen's not the first celebrity to take Saoirse and her hard-to-master name under their wing, however. Back in November Ryan Gosling included a lesson on how to pronounce the Irish moniker when presenting Saoirse with the New Hollywood Award for Brooklyn.

"Since we're all here, I thought we could just go over it," he said. "It's not 'Say-or-see' or 'Seer-say' or 'Sorcery'… It's 'Ser-sha', like inertia."

Nice. Now here's hoping there are no mistakes when Saoirse inevitably picks up the Best Actress gong on Sunday.

A number of Irish stars have been nominated for Golden Globes this awards season and we could not be more proud. 

And it kind of seems fitting that Saoirse Ronan was in the country when she got news of her nomination. 

The 21-year-old is up for the Best Actress award for her performance in Brooklyn and many are speculating she is a shoo in for an Oscar. 

And as it turns out, Saoirse got wind of her nomination while getting her nails done in popular Dublin salon on South William Street, Tropical Popical. 

And it seems that everyone in the salon got understandably pretty excited. 

In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Saoirse admitted she was getting a lot of phone calls while she was trying to get her manicure done. 

"So I answered: ‘I can’t talk to you right now! I’m getting my nails done!’ Then, my publicist was like, ‘Well, you just got nominated for a Globe, so you have to talk to us!’ I kind of squealed."

 

Just some lil #GoldenGlobe nomination bubbles. NBD! (Really read waaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh)#SaoirseRonan #TropicalPopical #GoldenGlobes

The actress said that the whole salon cheered when she told them the news. 

"It’s quite a way to find out you’ve been nominated. And I’ve gotten gold painted on my nails. I’ve got golden nails right now."

We are going to take that as a good sign! Fingers crossed.

As we come to the end of the year, many of us are very aware that we are about to head into awards season. 

While we don't know who is going to come out with an Oscar at the end of it, the nominees for the earlier awards such as the SAGs and the Golden Globes usually give a pretty good indication of who will at least be nominated, if not outright win. 

The Golden Globes have just released their list of nominees and two Irish heavyweights are set to contend in both the Lead Actor and Lead Actress categories.

And well, we obviously think they both should win. 

It's no surprise that Saoirse Ronan has been nominated for her leading role in the epic Brooklyn which has received rave reviews as well as a serious Oscar buzz since it's release last month.

And we all know that Americans love the Irish so fingers crossed. 

Saoirse will be competing against Cate Blanchett who starred in Carol and Brie Larson who is the lead in Lenny Abrahamson's upcoming flick, Room.

Michael Fassbender has also been nominated for a Globe for his role as the titular character in the equally well received biopic, Steve Jobs. 

Michael will be competing with the likes of Leonardo di Caprio for the Revenant and Oscar winning actor Eddie Redmayne who starred in The Danish Girl. 

So yeah, stiff competition in both categories but then again, no one else has the luck of the Irish. 

The Irish directed Room itself is set to do very big things this awards season. Lenny Abrahamson's highly anticipated flick is up for three awards at the Globes including best Drama, Screenplay and Best Actress. 

And the luck of the Irish does not end there. 

Up and coming Irish actress Caitriona Balfe has also received a nomination for her role in the American-British TV series, Outlander. 

So yeah, if not one award goes to an Irish person this awards season, we will eat our caps. 

Other notable nominees include Jennifer Lawrence for her role in Joy, Orange is the New Black for best television series and Amy Schumer for Trainwreck

This week, Zayn Malik allegedly threw shade Taylor Swift's way – retweeting a message that implied the songstress is more focused on making money than using her fame for good.

It was a move that prompted Tay-Tay's boyf Calvin Harris to launch a full-on attack on the former One Directioner… though the Scottish DJ later relayed somewhat, complimenting Mr Malik on his "great voice". 

Still, it's certainly not the first time that 25-year-old Ms Swift has been involved in a tiff. In fact, trouble and feuding seems to follow the singer-songwriter.

Here, we chronicle the highs and lows of her top six fall-outs:

 

Taylor Vs Katy:

The original feud! We can hardly remember what kicked it all off at this stage – something to do with Katy, 30, allegedly stealing her former friend's dancers for a world tour (why were the dancers so eager to leave, we'd like to know).

And even now, it seems it's the stand-off that refuses to die-down.

In fact, just late last month, Ms Swift brought on stage with her during a concert in Massachusetts an over-sized shark – a prop Katy famously used during her Super Bowl performance. She evidently thought it was hilarious; others were less enthused.

Of course after Taylor's high-profile Bad Blood video, we're guessing that a kiss-and-make-up scenario isn't on the cards anytime soon. 

 

Taylor Vs Miley:

We love that Ms Cyrus, 22, speaks her mind – and speak her mind she certainly did during a recent interview with Marie Clare.

“I don’t get the violence revenge thing,” the singer said referring to Taylor's Bad Blood video. “That’s supposed to be a good example?

"And I’m a bad role model because I’m running around with my titties out? I’m not sure how titties are worse than guns.”

Now, HollywoodLife.com reports that Ms Swift knows Miley doesn't like her (FYI: Katy and Ms Cyrus are mates – and Tay-Tay thinks the former turned the latter against her).

In fact, Swifty is SERIOUSLY concerned that the Wrecking Ball singer is going to have a pop at her at the VMAs in two weeks' time: Miley is presenting; Taylor is up for nine awards.

We can't wait. 

 

Taylor Vs Nicki

Speaking of the VMAs – Taylor was left red-faced when she assumed Nicki Minaj's VMA Twitter rant was about her (it's not always all about you, Tay-Tay).

Ms Minaj, 32, had been complaining that her mega-hit Anaconda didn't get a Best Video nomination (which actually does seem a bit strange). 

"If your video celebrates women with very slim bodies," her online complaint began, "you will be nominated for vid of the year." Cue Taylor jumping in, taking it all personal. 

Predictably, within 24hours Katy Perry just couldn't resist elbowing her way into the situation with her own online contribution. 

Wowsers. Anyway – Twitter went properly into meltdown over the whole situation, and Tays later took a chill pill and admitted that she had probably jumped to conclusions.

She also invited Ms Minaj to join her on stage "anytime," (pretty sure the woman sells out her own concerts, mind). The duo subsequently seem to be on good terms – for the moment anyway. 

 

Taylor Vs John

The Pennsylvanian singer and a guitar-weilding John Mayer had a brief romance – although things didn't end too well. Then she wrote a song, Dear John, which he claims is a bit mean.

Lines include: "Don't you think 19 is too young to be played by your dark twisted games, when I loved you so?" and "I lived in your chess game, but you changed the rules every day."

These days, Mr Mayer says she just ignores him.

"You can see me at the Grammys doing what I do best, being avoided by Taylor Swift," the 37-year-old said while hosting the Late, Late Show back in February.

John and a certain Katy Perry, of course, have had an on-off thing since 2012 – which probably doesn't help matters.  

 

Taylor Vs Apple and Spotify

Taylor famously withdrew her music from Spotify because she says they weren't giving her enough dough – though the likes of U2, The Rolling Stones and Paul McCartney don't seem to mind. Anyhoo, her argument is: "Music is art, and art is important and rare.

"Important, rare things are valuable. Valuable things should be paid for."

So, what's the alternative? Well, funny you ask… because in early June Apple began its music streaming service – a platform that, until Tay-Tay bemoaned its payment policy just a few weeks after its launch, many folk were unfamiliar with.

"We don't ask you for free iPhones. Please don't ask us to provide you with our music for no compensation," she said in an open letter.

The tech corporation quickly did a U-turn, as confirmed by executive Eddy Cue on Twitter.

And so in the end everyone involved seemed rather happy – especially the woman herself, who just days after the incident announced that she'd be releasing her mega-selling 1989 album… on Apple. Yup, everyone's happy, so.

 

Taylor Vs Tina Fey AND Amy Poehler

We hardly know where to look – comediennes Tina and Amy are living legends, after all. But a couple of years ago, Swifty just didn't find them all that funny 

Why? Well, the duo were hosting the Golden Globes in 2013, peppering the gig with plenty of tongue-in-cheek gags. Over the course of the evening, they even made fun of Miss Taylor's dating history.

Tays didn't seem to see the funny side though and later told Vanity Fair: "there's a special place in hell for women who don't help other women."

Ouch.

In contrast, for example, the likes of Hollywood legend Leonardo DiCaprio managed to smile and say nadda at the receiving end of similarly scathing remarks.

Indeed, last year he did just that when Ms Fey announced his arrival on the Golden Globes stage with the properly hilarious: “And now, like a supermodel’s vagina, let’s all give a warm welcome to Leonardo DiCaprio…"

Actor Jeremy Renner has responded to outrage over his comments about Jennifer Lopez’s breasts at Sunday’s Golden Globes Awards.

The pair were presenting an award together when Jennifer spoke about opening the envelope, saying: “You want me to do it? I’ve got the nails” to which Jeremy replied: “You’ve got the globes too" and staring at her breasts.

The internet did not take too kindly to Jeremy’s words, branding them sexist and inappropriate. However, Jennifer spoke after the incident to E!, telling them she found it really funny: “That was really funny. He’s a very funny man. It even made me a little hot.”

Now, the actor himself has responded to the public outrage, taking to his Twitter account and writing “A reminder not to take this sh** so serious. Thanks Jennifer – you’re a gem.x.”

Do  you think people overreacted to Jeremy’s words or is it completely inappropriate to point out a woman, or indeed anyone’s body in the way he did?
