Body shaming can happen to women of any size or shape, and can happen on a public platform when you work in Hollywood. 

Actress Chloe Grace Moretz has spoken out about her firsthand experience with having her physique criticised, and at a seriously young age. 

Chloe spoke to Variety about a horrible instance of body shaming, which happened to her when she was just fifteen. 

 

A post shared by Chloe Grace Moretz (@chloegmoretz) on

'This guy that was my love interest was like, ‘I’d never date you in real life,’ she began.

'I was, ‘What?'” she said. “And he was like, ‘Yeah, you’re too big for me’ – as in my size.”

He was 'one of the only actors that ever made me cry on set,' she continued, declining to name the culprit.

'I went bawling to my brother and he was like, ‘What happened?’,And I was like, ‘He told me I was too big.’ And my brother was like, ‘What just happened?’ My brother was so angry.'

'I had to pick it up and go back on set and pretend he was a love interest, and it was really hard.'

'It just makes you realise that there are some really bad people out there and for some reason, he felt the need to say that to me.' she continued

'You have to kind of forgive and not forget really, but it was just like wow. It was jarring. I look back on it and I was 15, which is really, really dark.'

Chloe went on to describe another occurrence, in which she was ostracised from her film crew due to the actions of her male co-star.

'They have this inferiority issue and I’m like, ‘You are completely equal to me, you are no different than me. I just happen to be the lead in this movie, and I don’t know why just because you are kind of the smaller character that you’re pushing me into a corner to try and put me down.'”

Kudos to Chloe for speaking out on the dual issues of equality and body shaming.

If this isn't the best movie idea ever, we don't know what is.

Apparently a script has been written for an Avengers-style Disney princess movie, and it's floating around Hollywood as we speak.

According to Tracking Board, the currently titled Princesses has been sent out to all studios, with the hope that Disney will pick it up.

Beloved princesses such as Belle, Cinderella, Snow While, Ariel, Jasmine and Rapunzel will all take part in the action movie, with the hope that Elsa, Anna and Moana will be involved too.

And if you're wondering why the script is being sent to numerous studios, it's because most princesses actually belong to public domain, with only recent princess characters being trademarked by Disney.

Hello Giggles further claims that director Joachim Ronning, who is behind Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales and Netflix show Marco Polo, is already attached to the film.

This. Will. Be. EPIC.

 

Oh, and while we have you; don't forget to have your say in the inaugural SHEmazing Awards this May! It's time to vote, and you can do it right here!

Starring Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, La La Land is the movie that has us falling in love with musicals all over again.

Up for a record-tying 14 Oscars (only Titanic and All About Eve can match that figure), it also won every category it was nominated for at the Golden Globes last month.

Oh, and it’s made close-to ten times its budget back already.

Here at SHEmazing! we say – go see it asap!

And if you’re wondering what the, ahem, song and dance is all about… here are eight very good reasons to LOVE La La Land

1) You will worship musicals again

Sure for the first five minutes, you wonder how it’s all going to pan out. After another ten minutes of La La Land, you really start to like what you see. And after 30 minutes – well, then you are just ALL OVER musical films forever more.

2) You will covet the weather

It’s Ireland; it’s February. It’s chilly and damp and a bit dreary. What better time to inject a spot of LA sunshine and light into our lives? It’s practically a health treatment…

3) You will fall in love

Maybe not with your date – but certainly with the loved-up duo that is Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling. Their chemistry = ah-maze-ing! This is their third film together (the others being Gangster Squad, and Crazy, Stupid, Love) and, yup, they’re once again pretty much perfect.

4) You will sing

Stick the soundtrack on Spotify in the aftermath and truthfully, you will listen and sing along to little else for weeks.

5) You will adore dance

Dancing With The Stars has its merits, sure. But what you experience in La La Land is approximately 1,000 times better than anything seen on a celebrity-infused reality TV show.

6) You will dream

La La Land is all about making dreams come true. And every one of us – deep down – is a bit of a dreamer, right? This is a movie that offers beautiful escapism, making you feel all warm and fuzzy and happy inside at the same time.

7) You will be utterly devoted to Emma Stone

Put simply, she remains one of the most talented, smart and funny actresses we have ever seen. She is Hollywood royalty for all the right reasons.

8) You will quiver when you see Ryan Gosling

Do we need to elaborate? The guy is not only the sexiest man alive, but he also can dance, sing, AND play the piano. That is all the #boyfriendgoals right there.

While others were ringing in the New Year, some prankster was celebrating the legalisation of Marijuana in California.

Over the course of New Year’s Eve into New Year ’s Day, someone trespassed down to the iconic Hollywood sign and changed it to Hollyweed.

The law was passed to legalise recreational use of the drug on November 8.

A surveillance video is currently being checked to determine the identity of the man according to TMZ.

The man altered the sign using a tarp to change the O’s to E’s and inserted white boards to complete the change.

This is the second time the famous Hollywood sign has been was vandalized. The last time was January 1, 1976.

Snoop Dogg was clearly delighted with the stunt.

Legendary Hollywood actress Zsa Zsa Gabor has died.

Just two months shy of her milestone 100th birthday, the Hungarian icon passed away following a heart attack. 

She was rushed to a Los Angeles hospital today, but sadly was pronounced dead on arrival. 

Married to Conrad Hilton in the 1940s, she found fame during the 1950s on the big screen – but had in more recent years been in bad health. 

In 2005, Zsa Zsa suffered a stroke. And in 2010, her right leg was amputated following complications arising from a hip replacement. 

Married nine times, she is survived by her most recent husband, Frederic Prinz Von Anhalt.

Ms Gabor had one child, Francesca Hilton, who died last year from a stroke – although her ageing mother was said at the time to be largely unaware of her daughter's passing.

Britney Spears is officially back, after dropping her sexy new single Slumber Party last night.

The pop idol made her triumphant return after taking a break from releasing new music in favour of a residential spot at the Axis at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas.

The new track, also featuring up-and-coming artist Tinashe, proves that the comeback queen still has what it takes.

The video sees Brit take on an Eyes Wide Shut style masquerade party, before showing off her impressively toned bod in a series of totes throwback Noughties ensembles.

And yes, there are enough highly choreographed dance routines and solo scenes of Britney crawling across tables to bring us right back to the Toxic days. Hurrah!

The video was just released on YouTube today and has already garnered half a million views. 

The track is from the pop icon's latest album Glory which was released in August.

Sophia Bush has come a long way since her One Tree Hill days, but it's clear the actress still has some Brooke Davis left in her if this stylish home is anything to go by.

The actress welcomed People into her Hollywood Hills home, and the tiny glimpses they pictured are just beautiful.

Very minimalist, with a touch of girl power, have a look inside the brunette beauty's home:

As the chill is coming back in the air, and the nights are getting darker, we'd do anything for a little glimpse of sunshine here in Shemazing! HQ.

And we'd certainly like to be in Niall Horan and Eoghan McDermott's shoes right now.

If you don't know why, check out Niall's latest Insta:

 

this was a bad idea . Any guesses why ?

Jealous? Yep, us too.

The lads, who are part of the London Irish Crew (along with Bressie and Laura Whitmore), are soaking up the sunny rays in Hollywood at the moment and decided to have a little splash in the pool yesterday.

The Mullingar man captioned the photo: "This was a bad idea. Any guesses why?"

No doubt he's talking about how sore that splash was on his bare skin, but to be honest, we rather that than the freezing chill hitting us when we wake up in the morning.

Someday ladies… someday.

In 2008, a group of high school students were named the Bling Ring, after they were convicted of stealing millions worth on money and goods from celebrities' homes… and now it seems that it's started back up again.

The original group cleaned out the likes of Lindsay Lohan, Orlando Bloom and Rachel Bilson. Before they were caught, the gang of teens wracked up a massive $4m in stolen goods.

However, in recent months, stars such as Blac Chyna, Scott Disick, Kevin Hart and Chris Brown have all been targeted, and police think there's another Bling Ring doing the rounds.

None of the stars were in their homes when the thieves hit, and mysteriously the robbers knew exactly where the safe was once they entered the house.

Kevin Hart was hit the hardest, with them taking more than $500,000 in jewellery and household items.

"They took so much stupid stuff," he told Radar Online. "They took a pair of my jeans."

Blac Chyna had $200,000 taken from her in cash and jewellery, and Chris Brown had about $50,000 swiped from his safe.

And just like the early 2000s, the burglars left absolutely no sign of forced entry.

A full 8,500km away from her native city, Kerrie McMahon has found herself hoisted up into the warm Californian air to a height of some 6metres.

Gracing one of Sunset Boulevard’s famed billboards, the gorgeous UCD-graduate can be seen in a dark bikini advertising 138 Water – the celebrity-friendly bottled water which often hydrates the likes of Rob Kardashian, Hailey Baldwin, Lana Del Ray, and Blac Chyna.

An Irish model with BIG dreams of making it Stateside, she’s been busy building her career on home-soil while also steadily boosting her profile in the notoriously competitive Los Angeles entertainment industry.

And there’s no doubt that hard work pays off: Kerrie is now on the verge of becoming one of the most recognisable Irish names in the US.

“To see myself on a billboard is completely surreal!” the 27-year-old exclusively admitted to SHEmazing today.

“Being honest, just being on the Sunset Boulevard Strip is so exciting in itself – never mind having countless numbers of people seeing me in a major advertising campaign.

“It's funny being a million miles away back home in Ireland and my American friends sending me pictures of it as they drive past. They tell me they say ‘hey, I know her!’ when they spot my 138 photo, which always makes me smile.”

Kerrie shot the campaign recently at an undisclosed Hollywood mansion worth millions.

“There are a lot of mega-famous people in that part of the world,” she said coyly when asked about who owned the property – although she did tell us that hanging out with big names and celebrities is part-and-parcel of the social scene in LA.

It was last year when Kerrie had her first taste of high-profile stardom, securing her first 138 Water billboard advert – and to be asked back for another shoot this summer is a testament to how successful her debut was.

Next up for the Dundrum-native is an appearance on the famed pages of men’s magazine Maxim.

“I’ll be in the September edition,” she explained. “We shot in Las Vegas earlier this year. It was incredible – up in a seriously plush penthouse over-looking the city with a crew of photographers, hair and make-up people, technicians and stylists.”

Kerrie hopes to spend more time in the US over the next few months in order to capitalise on her recent successes.

The one thing she won’t be changing anytime even if she does make the move permanently to the US?

“My accent is definitely very much Irish!” she laughed. “A load people over there seem to initially think I’m Russian – until I open my mouth that is!

“I certainly haven’t lost a bit of my Irish accent – and I doubt at this stage I ever will.”

Kendall Jenner is moving – and her new house is totally swoon-worthy.

Right in the heart of the Sunset Strip, the model has bought Emily Blunt and John Krasinski's former home for $6.5m (€5.8m).

It's kitted out with six bedrooms, five bathrooms, a huge pool and an amazing view over West Hollywood.

Lying on 4,800 square feet, Kendall signed all the documents on Wednesday and the deal closed this morning – and we just can't wait to see how Kris Jenner will decorate it (because let's be honest, we all know she will.)

Have a look at where Kendall is going to be living from now on:

Any Irish person knows that we consider a good cup of Barry's Tea to be a bit of a national treasure and it seems that one of our favourite talented exports is sharing this knowledge with the world. 

Saoirse Ronan, who is getting ready to hit the Golden Globes this weekend, had a little treat in store for her friends at the Hollywood Foreign Press Office (HEPA). 

According to the Irish Independent, the Brooklyn star sent each member of the organisation a box of Barry's Tea along with a personal, handwritten note with each gift. Each box even included hand drawn diagrams on how to create the perfect cuppa. 

She is too adorable!

"There is nothing that reminds me of home more than Barry's Tea," said the personalised letters. 

"So as a gesture of my sincere gratitude, I wanted to share a piece of my home with you."

The HEPA announced last month that they had nominated the 21-year-old for two Golden Globes this year off the back of her spectacular performance as Eilis in the hit film, Brooklyn.

And it seems that Saorise found a fitting, Irish way to thank them. 

The Carlow native has always cited a good cup of Irish tea to uplift her if she ever gets a bout of homesickness. 

Once those Hollywood big shots get a sip of a good cup of Barry's, we reckon she has a great shot at a win.
