While her ex-husband, Brad Pitt, has been negotiating custody of his children following his split from Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Aniston has been speaking to Marie Claire about the dynamic of her own relationship.

Having wed Justin Theroux in 2015, the former Friends star told the magazine that Justin has given her a sense of comfort she had sought for decades.

Jennifer, who has endured a high-profile divorce from Brad Pitt and railed against intense media scrutiny over her lack of children over the course of the last decade, explains that Justin brings out the best in her.

"There's no part of me that I don't feel comfortable showing, exposing. And it brings forth the best part of myself, because I care about him so much." she explained.

Adding to this heartwarming summation of her marriage, she continued: "And he's such a good person. It hurts me to think of anything hurting him."

Jennifer suggests that this level of contentment is not something she is particularly used to, explaining that she's spent much of her career having to justify personal choices.

"My marital status has been shamed; my divorce status was shamed; my lack of a mate had been shamed; my nipples have been shamed," she said.

Reflecting on her decision to write an open letter highlighting the media's treatment of her personal life, she told the magazine: "I just thought: I have worked too hard in this life and this career to be whittled down to a sad, childless human."

God, if we didn't already love her enough already…

Credit where credit's due – our country has has an array of absolutely cracking clubs, pubs and bars, and our capital city rarely falls short when it comes to top-notch watering holes.

While we all have our favourites dotted around the city, the good folk at the National Hospitality Conference and Awards have the final word when it comes to what constitutes the biggest and brightest in Ireland.

And they have officially spoken.

In an event which took place in Dublin's Intercontinental Hotel last night, a number of Dublin hotspots were given the nod, and we're pumped that more than a few of our top picks made the cut.

So, without further ado….

Best Pub:

The Stag's Head on Dublin's Dame Lane is one of the best known in the city, and ultimately came up trumps in this coveted category.

Best New Establishment:

Farrier & Draper, which replaced The Lost Society on South William Street earlier this year, nabbed the gong last night.

Best Cocktail Bar: 

The Vintage Cocktail Club, which is nestled behind a fairly unremarkable heavy black door on Crown Alley is home to one of the coolest bars in the city, walked away with this coveted prize last night.

Best Traditional Pub:

Toner's of Baggot Street won out over South Anne Street competitor Kehoes this time around.

Best Nightclub:

The Wright Venue beat off competition from the iconic Lillie's Bordello to nab the best nightclub award.

Let's be honest – as well as lusting after the brand's exquisite underwear, most of us spend the duration of the Victoria's Secret show drooling over the Angels walking in the iconic fashion show.

And while we all accept that these women are paid to look…well… pretty much perfect, it doesn't come as easily to all of them as the rest of us might like to think.

Commenting on this, Victoria's Secret Angel, Bella Hadid, explains: "It’s crazy because I think that when other people look at all of the VS models or all of the girls who are walking, they’re like, ‘They’re not human. They don’t have any insecurities.’"

"But I think every single girl who’s going to be walking probably has an insecurity," she said while chatting about the upcoming show.

Bella told People magazine that she regrets the effort she has put into her pre-show preparation, and she's already missing the curves she lost in order to attain a 'picture-perfect' Angel image.

'I really didn’t mean to lose weight. Like I want boobs. I want my ass back," the 20-year-old model admitted.

And yet despite appearing to regret her new look, she applauds her determination and willpower to have achieved it in the first place.

"I’ve been eating hard protein every day, and working out for three hours every day. It’s crazy but I think that if you set your mind to something, I think you can succeed."

Gigi's younger sister was also keen to remind the public that despite perhaps overdoing it this time around, she doesn't expect to be criticised for her appearance.

'My weight fluctuates and so does everybody’s and I think that if people are gonna judge, that’s the worst you can possibly do because everybody is different,' she said.

Bella will be walking alongside the likes of Kendall Jenner, Irina Shayk and Karlie Kloss.

When it comes to celebrity feuds, there are some we just never expected to see, and one involving Tina Knowles and Stacey Dash is most definitely one of them.

In your bizarre news of the day, Beyoncé's mum has become embroiled in a war of words with 49-year-old Stacey who played Dionne in Clueless.

Yeah, we know.

It all kicked off when Tina took to Instagram to share a photo of herself posing alongside Kelly Rowland dressed as Stacey's character in the smash-hit 90s film.

Appearing to throw shade at Stacey, Tina wrote: "This is my baby as Dione last night of course she is prettier and more smart than the one from the movie but I was confused cause she kept saying something about her pager." (sic)

Unsurprisingly, the tabloids threw themselves on the post and wasted no time suggesting that Tina was referring to Stacey herself as opposed to the character she played in the film.

Responding to the controversy, Stacey took to Twitter to address the issue, tweeting: "Beyonce's mom just threw some shade at me? Here's my unedited response."

Directing fans and followers to her blog, the Fox News correspondent wrote: "Well, you never know what you are doing to wake up to, do you? This morning, I awakened to people telling me that Beyonce’s mom was saying that I was ugly."

Sharing a screenshot of Tina's post, it sounded like Stacey was pretty certain the comment was aimed at her personally.

"First of all, if you’re trying to throw shade about someone’s intelligence, maybe use “smarter” instead of “more smart." Stacey wrote. "Here’s the thing  – Kelly Rowland is a beautiful girl and I love the costume!  Imitation is the best form of flattery."

Slamming Stacey for taking the remark personally, one of the star's followers replied: "Oh, honey… keep reaching for that relevance… someone may actually give a sh*t, someday."

"It was obvious she was talking about the character. SMH," added another.

And if the whole thing wasn't cringey enough, it looks like Tina got wind of the controversy and edited her post, writing:"Lord no shade intended!!!! It was a character in a movie!!"

Well frankly, this is all just so embarrassing.

We'll be honest – we never actually believed a roll in the hay equated with a full-on cardio session, but when you hear it enough times, you do start to use it as a reason to ditch that evening's gym session, right?

But if your other half has been using the no-pants-dance as an excuse to take a time-out from training during the week, you may want to tell them they've been wasting their time.

According to a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, for a man who weighs 154 lbs – or 11 stone –  a 60-minute sex session will burn 210 calories which is the equivalent of walking at – wait for it – a moderate pace.

And if you think 60 minutes sounds pretty damn ambitious, you're not alone.

Commenting on the stamina of our other halves, the scientists explained: "Given that the average bout of sexual activity lasts about six minutes, a man in his early-to-mid-30s might expend approximately 21 calories during sexual intercourse."

Adding insult to injury, they continued: "Of course, he would have spent roughly one third that amount of energy just watching television, so the incremental benefit of one bout of sexual activity with respect to energy expended is plausibly on the order of 14 calories."

14 measly calories? Sounds like those lads need to work a little harder…

If there was one former couple we did not see reconciling, it was Stephanie Davis and Jeremy McConnell.

The couple, who began their relationship in front of the Celebrity Big Brother cameras in January, went through countless ups and downs over just five months before eventually calling it quits in May of this year.

But not before Stephanie announced she was pregnant, and the pair engaged in their fair share of mud-slinging online.

And while it looked like the pair had officially moved on in recent months, it seems Irish model, Jeremy McConnell, has had a change of heart after hearing of Steph's recent hospitalisation.

Speaking to The Sun, a source close to the Dubliner said Jeremy has realised his conduct often fell short, saying: "It’s like a switch has gone off in his head and he’s now realised his posts et cetera might not be appropriate."

"Stephanie will be in hospital for a few more days and Jeremy has decided to get rid of anything negative," the insider added.

Commenting on Stephanie's public persona, the source suggested her calmer demeanour has a lot to do with Jeremy's supposed change of heart.

"She has grown up a lot over the last few months, which is very apparent from her attitude publicly."

"It’s definitely been noted by Jeremy and perhaps this latest move might be a step towards him trying to reach out to her.’

According to reports, while Stephanie is still in hospital, she and her unborn child are doing well.

With reports suggesting Millie Mackintosh had destroyed her wedding dress in order to create a Halloween costume, it's no surprise Phillip Schofield broached the topic with Millie's ex, Professor Green, when he appeared on This Morning earlier today.

Grabbing a slot on the show to promote his latest single, the Just Be Good To Green singer, who split with Millie in February of this year, was forced to comment on his former wife's supposed antics.

And, in fairness to him, he played an absolute blinder.

"Come on mate, you've got to have a sense of humour," he told Phillip. "Divorce is horrible but if you've been married to a person and you can't look back with kindness you've made a mistake."

Honing in on the rapper's new track, Phillip suggested he may be playing Millie at her own game by penning a 'revenge' song – a suggestion that didn't sit well with the 32-year-old star.

"It's not a revenge break up song, revenge for what? It's mad to me, revenge for what?" he asked the host in response to the idea.

Yeah Phillip, revenge for what?!

We're with you on this one, Green.

Icelandic airline WOW air has announced flights from Ireland to the US from just €130.

Starting June 2017, WOW air will be flying from Dublin and Cork to Pittsburgh via Reykjavik four days a week from €129.99 one way.

By the time the Pittsburgh route opens, WOW air will also be offering flights to Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston, Washington DC, New York and Miami.

As well as America, WOW air flies to Canadian cities Montréal and Toronto.

With so many options at such affordable prices, we think a trip across the Atlantic could well be on the cards.

Look, by the time the crown has been officially placed on the head of the winner, we generally know all there is to know about each and every I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here contestant.

But we'd be lying if we said we always knew who each 'celebrity' was at first glance.

Thankfully, however, it doesn't look like we're going to have to rely on Google in order to identify this year's contestants because if emerging reports are true, the show's bosses have a total belter lined up this year.

From reality stars to soap stars, we're actually able to identify the vast majority of this year's potential jungle recruits.

Let's take a look…

Let's be honest, dropping to your knees and sliding across a floor is a move generally reserved for hyper seven-year-old boys at weddings.

That, however, didn't stop aspiring rapper, Honey G, going for it at the weekend after learning she had made it through to X Factor's next live show.

But unfortunately for the 35-year-old contestant, she didn't quite pull it off, and ended up almost face-plating in front of millions of viewers.

While Honey G played it cool in the wake of the facepalm moment, Twitter had absolutely no chill.

Twitosphere, you can take it from here.

Look, we all know washing, drying and styling our hair is not something many of us women relish.

Not only is it time-consuming and pretty tedious work, one gust of wind or drop of rain can completely ruin our efforts, turning our slick style into something a little… well… greasier.

And yet despite this, we soldier on and tend to our barnets on a daily basis, but one woman has officially had enough.

Speaking to Marie Claire, Kayleigh Conners explained that years of shampooing, dyeing and styling had left her with problematic hair – something which she no longer wanted to put up with.

"Like a lot of hair-conscious people, I used expensive shampoos from salons – convinced that they were "the best" – washing every three days or so, wreaking havoc on my budget," she explained.

"And after sinking in all this money and time, the day after I washed my hair, it'd always be greasy and oily. So then, I'd have to use dry shampoo. It got to the point where I'd just wear my hair up most of the time because I didn't want to bother with it."

Having attempted to switch up shampoos, Kayleigh eventually heard of a blogger who decided to step away from the shampoo completely,

"Eventually, I came across an article about a blogger hadn't used shampoo in two years—and her hair looked amazing. My hair was already gross, I thought. What's the worst that can happen? It can become even more gross? That's when I decided to give it a try," she explained.

While Kayleigh knew some 'no poo' types advise pushing through the tough period where hair becomes lank and dirty, she explained that that method wouldn't work for her and she needed to feel like her hair was clean.

"So I did some reading and found a clay to take all the gunk out. I used it to help me detox off shampoo for nearly a year. But, over time, I learned the clay breaks your hair down. It's too rough to use long-term."

Two years on, Kayleigh has eventually found the perfect solution and makes her own shampoo.

"I use a recipe of the color herbal powders. I mix them together to get the Shikakai, which is softening and gently cleansing, but not quite cleansing enough for me – so I include ground soap nut powder to be more shampoo-detergent like (but without any chemicals)."

"I'll mix that into a paste with rosewater and, after wetting my hair, work it through my scalp and then I'll leave it for about a minute. Then I rinse—and that's it. I do a deep condition every few weeks, but maintaining the natural oils doesn't keep me dependent on conditioning."

Kayleigh. who has an Instagram account dedicated to her natural approach to beauty routines, insists her hair has grown faster, maintained better volume and doesn't require much styling since making the switch.

So yeah, will you be trying it?!
