If there's one thing that Bruno Mars won't accept, it's accusations that he lip-syncs when he takes to the stage to perform.

After appearing on X Factor last month, the Locked Out of Heaven singer was subject to criticism that he had mimed 24K Magic – something which he adamantly denied during an interview with NME this week.

Sounding pretty outraged by the speculation, Bruno said he can take most things that are thrown at him over the course of his career, but he won't let this one slide.

“I was reading something about me miming. Which is… well, you can say anything you want about me or my music, or make any kind of joke you want, but that to me is like, well, I’m going to get extremely insulted.”

Reflecting on the rumours that circulated following his X Factor performance, Bruno sounded genuinely insulted by the public's perception of  his performance.

"You have no idea how hard we rehearse. Just seeing that, it blew me away. Like, ‘What are they seeing? What do you mean!?" he asked.

The singer, who is due to play Dublin next year, insisted that the idea of lip-syncing is not something he would ever accept from himself or anyone else.

"Never! I’ve never lip-synced. I could have a 150-degree fever and I’ll still be up there, singing live. That’s our profession. That’s what we do.” he finished.

Right, now let that be the end of it…

When it comes to the Kardashian / Jenner sisters, there's absolutely no doubting that Kendall is the most enigmatic.

Admittedly quite shy, 21-year-old Kendall doesn't tend to share as much as her siblings either online or through interview, so we were fairly stunned that she decided to take part in Spill Your Guts or Fill Your Guts.

The notorious Late Late Show segment is James Corden's method of getting his guests to reveal as much as possible, and in fairness to Kendall she actually played ball… for the most part.

While she decided to drink bird saliva rather reveal who her least favourite member of Taylor's squad is, the model did admit that when it comes to her nieces and nephew's names, she definitely has a least favourite.

Oh, and when it came to ratting Kylie out? Kris actually INSISTED her daughter down some clam juice and stay loyal to the Kardashian family values…

Fair play, Kendall.

Whether you've endured your own one or witnessed someone else's, awkward dates are not something any of us are strangers to.

So, when one woman happened to overhear a conversation taking place between a couple on their first date, she felt compelled to share the awkward with everyone.

(If she was going down, she was taking us with her, basically.)

And Twitter is having a field day.

We'll let Kelly Fine take it from here.

While no stranger to controversy, Helen Woods is likely to have infuriated countless members of the public this week after she tore shreds off of Scarlett Moffatt in her latest column for The Daily Star.

Offering her opinion on the latest series of I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here, the former escort suggested we were having the wool pulled over our eyes by the popular contestant.

Slamming Scarlett, who has gained a loyal following since taking part in Gogglebox, Helen branded her 'fake as f*ck' before comparing her to a former Geordie Shore star.

"Jesus, those drag queen lashes and terrible fake tan. Transparent, just another Charlotte Crosby," wrote Helen.

"She tries soooo hard to be funny, when in fact she's funny putting zero thought into what she's saying."

"People who try too hard get on my tits, leave the comedy to the experts like Joel," Helen suggested.

Acknowledging the public's love for 26-year-old Scarlett, the former Big Brother star suggested we need to raise our standards.

"If she's what we get for a nation's sweetheart, we are even lower than wherever rock bottom is."

Well, thanks for that Helen.

From Michelle Obama to the Red Hot Chili Peppers, most stars fall all over themselves to take part in The Late Late Show's Carpool Karaoke segment.

And it looks like Madonna is no exception.

And while thousands of her Instagram followers are pumped at the idea of seeing the Queen of Pop duet with James Corden, not everyone is that impressed by the announcement.

Sharing a snap of herself with James on Instagram last night, Madonna wrote: "Riding around Manhattan with the Hunk of Burning Love" in a move which sent social media into a tailspin.

"Awesome! It's about time," gushed one of her followers, but not everyone is on the same page.

"This b*tch needs to retire" wrote one Instagram user while another added: "The most overrated popstar of all the time"

While the upload itself racked up 113,000 likes, many of The Late Late Show's followers wasted no time sharing their thoughts on Madge's imminent appearance, with another writing: "Terrible choice."

"Why she decided to do this right after Gaga? Isn't she jealous of Gaga? smh," added someone else on Twitter when the news broke.

Well, let's just see how it goes, shall we?

There's no one quite like Kris Jenner, is there?

While most grandparents would be overjoyed by the arrival of a new grandchild, it seems Kris is struggling to hide her irritation over the child's chosen name.

After welcoming baby girl Dream Renee last week, Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna have had to deal with the fact Dream's granny is unhappy with Rob for refusing to chose a name that begins with K.

Yeah, we know.

"Kris would have loved them to follow tradition and pick a K name for the baby," an insider told HollywoodLife.

"They told her all along it wasn't going to happen but she was still holding out hope right up until she saw the birth certificate," the source added.

And while Kris' other children didn't choose 'K-names' for their offspring, it appears the onus was on Rob to continue the tradition after Kourtney and Kim broke from it with their five children.

Thankfully, Kris pulled herself together and has since accepted that the name 'Dream' is here to stay, with the source adding: "She's over her disappointment."
 

 

It was all a DREAM❕❕ haha I love her

"The most important thing to her is that the baby is healthy and Rob is happy," they added. "Her heart is so full right now, she feels like this baby saved her son's life."

In a move which he hopes will inspire others,  Black Eyed Peas member Taboo has revealed that he underwent 12 weeks of chemotherapy after being diagnosed with cancer in 2014.

In an interview with People magazine, the 41-year-old rapper explained that he was dealt the devastating blow when he admitted himself to hospital with what he assumed was a bout of flu.

Unfortunately for the popular star, doctors diagnosed Taboo with stage 2 testicular cancer – a diagnosis which required an aggressive form of chemotherapy.

"It all started with a pain in my back and abdomen," he  said "The very next day I went into surgery to have the 'mother ship' removed. But my fight had just begun."

Stunned by his band mate's diagnosis, will.i.am did his utmost to support Taboo, with the latter explaining: "Will.i.am instantly reached out to a great doctor who helped me figure out a treatment plan. I was racing against the clock."
 

While Taboo explained that there were times when he wanted to give up, he sought inspiration from individuals who had gone through the same experience and focussed his attention on music.

"I began channelling my energy into the thing that keeps me alive and spirited: music. I wanted to share my story and inspire others like those who had inspired me."

Two years after his journey began, Taboo has confirmed he is officially cancer-free and has used his experience to to help others.

"By the grace of God I'm alive and along with my partner @americancancersociety we are gonna help millions of people going thru the same fight I went thru," he tweeted.

Let's be honest – whether you were a fan of the Twilight franchise or not, it's no surprise to learn that the atmosphere on set was far from welcoming at times.

And if anyone was going to spill those deets, we knew we could rely on Anna Kendrick who played Bella's pal Jessica Stanley.

Reflecting on her time on the set in her memoir Scrappy Little Nobody, Anna revealed that while the stars of the movie attempted to make her feel welcome, weather and general morale kind of prevented it.

"Kellan Lutz is the sweetest guy, but that day I think he might have strangled me if he’d had the energy," Anna admitted while explaining that the cast and crew were attempting to shoot the movie in freezing conditions in Canada and Oregan.

Anna then turned her attention to Kirsten Stewart, writing: "[She] – one of the most committed actors I’ve ever worked with — made a valiant effort to be friendly, but I could tell she was putting her back into it."

"Underneath every word, I heard 'You don’t know, man, you don’t know what it’s like out there.'" Anna added.

It sounds like Anna happily would have sacrificed her part in the franchise had she known what she was in for.

"If you told me I had to be in that weather with no relief, I would have bailed like the little b***ch I am. Extreme cold messes with you," she insisted.

"The elements don’t discriminate. And no amount of ‘you’re getting paid to do this’ matters when your body’s basic survival requirements are in play."

Christ, that sounds like no picnic.

She has countless audiences eating out of the palm of her hand on a regular basis, so you'd be forgiven for thinking very little fazes Adele.

But, you'd be wrong.

While performing in Mexico this week, the Londoner revealed a fear (albeit a very rational one) of the vampire's best friend – the bat.

After spotting one enter the arena, she completely lost it and thankfully the moment was captured and subsequently circulated online for people who enjoy watching others in distress.

"There's a bat!" she shrieked from the stage while flapping her arms wildly in what we believe was an impersonation of the offending creature. "There's a bat there and it landed by your head!"

"It landed right by your head! Oh my God, it's a f**king bat. Welcome to Mexico," she continued. "It's true, I'm happy to be here, but a f**king bat, Jesus Christ!"

Take it away, Adele.

The following is an extract from Peter Varga's Humans of Dublin.

Drawn from the archives of the incredibly popular online blog, Peter Varga's Humans of Dublin gives a voice to the people of our capital city.

A collection of portraits, memories and snapshots, Humans of Dublin provides a thought-provoking insight into the Irish capital and its vibrant and diverse inhabitants.

Pictured above are a couple who offer their own shared experience of life in our capital.

Do you find it challenging walking hand in hand on the streets of Dublin?

Depends where we are. It can be challenging, but we do it anyway. Sometimes we get abused by people passing by, not only with words but physically too.

For us, as girls, it’s still easier. We can get away with it like we’re friends – for guys it’s not the same. But don’t think this is what we pay attention to.

There are a lot of supportive people around, and negative comments don’t happen as often as you think.

We’ve been through so many things together, and they’ve made a really strong bond between us.

It’s happened that we went separate ways before, and it wasn’t always easy, but in the end we always found each other on the same road again.

We’re together over three years now, which is why we decided to get matching tattoos.

Peter's Vagra's Humans of Dublin is available to buy now.

Kylie Jenner aside, the Kardashian sister which has undergone the biggest transformation in recent years is undoubtedly Khloé.

Having been branded the 'ugly, fat sister' countless times over the course of her life, our favourite Kardashian sister decided to channel other people's negativity into something positive for herself.

And hell, it worked.

And now, the 32-year-old is eager to help others who have endured the same physical and emotional struggles she went through while in the glare of the media spotlight.

In a spin-off from Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Khloé will be seen helping members of the public to overhaul their lifestyles, and she is pumped.

Taking to Twitter earlier today, Khloé could barely contain her excitement over her new show, tweeting: "I have worked soooo hard on Revenge Body!."

"I can't wait for you guys to meet these amazing people! Their journeys are incredible! Proud!" she added.

And here is the sneak peek we've all been waiting for.

Unless they're a particularly close friend or relative, it's difficult to muster up enthusiasm for the grainy ultrasound images which are appearing on our social media feeds with increasing frequency.

While we're thrilled for the happy mum or dad-to-be, we'd by lying if we said we could see more than a blurry outline nestled among even blurrier blobs.

(And no, we definitely can't see the similarity to your cousin Mick.)

But at the same time, we're generally able to see the difference between an ultrasound and a popular Italian dish…unlike one woman on Facebook whose recent remark is now going viral.

That lasagna looks crisp…

After spotting an upload, she made the mistake of offering her opinion only to be told she had mistaken a foetus for a family dinner-time favourite.

Beneath an ultrasound on her newsfeed, she wrote: "That lasagna looks crisp" to which the person responsible for the upload replied: "That's my daugher."

And if you need us, we'll be lying in a darkened room.
