If you – like us – have been accused of spending far too much time in the shower, then you're going to want to hear ALL about this incredible new showerhead which actually measures how much water you've used.

According to Look, Hydrao's smart showerhead attaches to your shower and an LED light changes colour the more water you use.

The showerhead will be green when you begin your shower, but once you hit the ten-litre mark, the showerhead will turn a shade of blue.

So far, so helpful, right?

When you hit the 30-litre mark, you'll be bathed in an orange light and when you hit the 50-litre mark, the showerhead will flash red reminding you that other people in the house have a right to hot water too, you know.

And not only will this innovative creation reduce the number of rows that take place in homes up and down the country, it also gives you the opportunity to keep an eye on the effect you're having on the environment.

Connecting the Hydrao to your phone will allow you to track you water usage and set goals for water conservation.

We know ladies, it's the future.

The Kardashian / Jenner family have been incredibly accepting of their ex-husband, step-father and father as he transitioned from Bruce to Caitlyn, but there's no denying that the announcement had a profound impact on all members of the Calabasas clan.

And while millions of people are under the impression that the former Olympian's news came as a total shock to her family, many of her children and step-children were aware that she was hiding a secret.

Opening up during an extremely candid interview with Vogue, Kendall reflected on the numerous occasions she questioned her father's secretive behaviour.

"My whole life we would, like, catch her, and we would be like, What is going on here?" she recalls. "I think we know, but do we?" she asked.

"At one point Kylie and I thought he was cheating on my mom, because he had makeup and nail polish," Kendall remembered. 

"One time we found those squishy boob things. We found wigs. And then one time I actually ran into her. In this house. She had no idea."

Recalling an incident when she saw Caitlyn making her way around the home in the early hours of the morning, Kendall said: "One morning I woke up at 4:00 a.m. so thirsty, came downstairs into the kitchen, and grabbed a bottle of water."

"And as I was coming back out, my dad was coming down the stairs in, like, a wig and makeup and shoes – the full nine. And she didn’t see me. I literally froze," Kendall admitted.

"Please don’t turn left." Kendall remembered thinking. "Because she could either turn left or turn right. Thank God she turned right and – to this day! – has no idea that happened. "

"That was the first time I had ever seen her," Kendall admitted.

We wonder what Caitlyn will make of that revelation.

Gary and Paul, who revealed their tactic while speaking to RTÉ before the race, have made history as Ireland takes home its first ever medal for rowing at the Olympics.

Finishing behind France and ahead of Norway, the O'Donovans from UCD and Skibbereen rowing clubs, have sent Irish fans into meltdown as Twitter celebrates alongside the siblings.

Coming out in their hundreds to support the brothers, Skibbereen residents waited with bated breath as they watched the siblings make their way to finish line.

And then there's the guy who says what everyone is thinking…

Massive congratulations, lads!

We all know there's no love lost between Zayn Malik and Azalea Banks.

But after tearing into the Pillowtalk singer earlier this year, the 212 rapper was faced with considerable criticism and even found herself dropped from festival line-ups as a result of her racist and homophobic slurs.

And, unfortunately, it doesn't look like the singer has learned her lesson if her recent remarks are anything to go by.

Commenting on Zayn's highly-anticipated spread for GQ, the 25-year-old New Yorker cast aspersions on Gigi's bae.

"He legit looks like he used to be a girl," she wrote of the 23-year-old's recent photoshoot. "He gives me transman teas."

The comments have come as a surprise to Instagram users who were quick to remind Azalea she had recently professed to having turned over a new leaf.

"The amount of people that get hurt when I use the word vs. the amount of people I’ve said it to are just not worth it,” she wrote at the time. “This isn’t a cop out, its just me realizing that words hurt."

By the looks of things, Azalea's back to her usual tricks.

Since Geordie Shore drunkenly stumbled onto our television screens in 2011, viewers have been fixated by the on again/ off again dynamic between Gaz and Charlotte.

And while there came numerous points throughout the show's run that we thought Gaz and Charlotte might actually make a go of things, that came to an end when Gary revealed he was in a serious relationship with someone else.

For two whole years, Gary seemed like a changed man as he turned his back on his usual womanising antics on the hit MTV show and grew ever closer to girlfriend Lillie Lexie Gregg… until he called time on their relationship in November of last year in order to focus on his small-screen career, that is.

And whether Lillie resents the fact Gary chose Geordie Shore over her, she hasn't been backwards in coming forwards about her ex- boyfriend's on-screen love interest.

Referring to Charlotte's recent revelation that she had endured an ectopic pregnancy while carrying Gary's child, Lillie slammed the star for publicising the matter.

"I think it's disgraceful that she'd talk about her ectopic pregnancy for publicity. It's private," Lillie raged.

With word having gotten back to Charlotte that Lillie had some very strong opinions on her decision to disclose the information, Charlotte took to Twitter this afternoon to make a dig at Lillie.

"Not the best of days when a painful time in your life gets brought back up for someone else's gain," Charlotte wrote before following the mesage with a sad-face emoji.

Showing their support for Char, fans of the reality star responded, with one writing: "She has a cheek saying your a disgrace when she's using you and your story for publicity so she's lower than a disgrace." (sic)

"Don't let yourself be hurt over someone who is completely irrelevant's opinion. She's only known cos of who she's dated," added another.

"Shameless, heartless and vile, just for press," tweeted another. "Showing her true colours…needs to go back to the hole she crawled out of."

We can't see this one dying down any time soon.

This is a developing story

According to emerging reports, two people have been seriously injured after a shooting took place outside a bar in the vicinity of a shopping centre in northeastern Spain this morning.

Local media in the city of Zaragoza have confirmed that a gunman opened fire at approximately 11.00 local time.

El Heraldo reported that a motive for the attack is still unclear, but police sources have revealed that the gunman had targeted his former wife.

While some media outlets have reported that the man at the centre of the attack fled the scene, further police sources have said he has since turned the gun on himself.

His two victims are currently being treated in hospital.

It's been 12 years since the release of Mean Girls, and yet we still find ourselves quoting lines from it on the regular.

From muttering 'She doesn't even go here' when a colleague is banging on to thinking 'So you agree, you think you're really pretty' when someone accepts a compliment a bit too quickly, the teen flick has clearly become engrained in our generation's conscience.

And while it obviously spoke to us on an emotional level, us Irish ladies are not as familiar with the various cliques which exist in American high schools.

But Dublin? Dublin, we know.

And that is why the latest offering from YouTube and Facebook comedian, Enya Martin, has struck a chord with thousands of us this week.

Shared on her Giz a Laugh Facebook page, Enya parodies Mean Girls, and offers all of us an insight into how the film might have played out had it been set in our capital city.

Ladies, down your tools – This one needs your undivided attention.

Scotty T is no stranger to a case of mistaken identity.

After recently posing for a snap with former CBB housemate Jeremy McConnell, Twitter users were flummoxed to see Jez had jokingly tagged the Geordie Shore star as Gaz online. (Lol Jez, lol)

And while Scotty T paid little attention to Jeremy's 'gag', he's going to have a harder time living down his own Twitter blunder.

With classic Geordie charm, the CBB winner decided to reach out to Kendall Jenner on Twitter this morning, and failed miserably.

After sharing a photo of Emily Ratajkowski on his page, Scotty tweeted: "Right……..you are ridiculously fit @KendallJenner!"

Finishing off the post with all the tact for which Geordie Shore lads are famed, he hastagged #daymmmm and #gizalick.

Wasting no time schooling poor ol' Scotty on his international models, Twitters users flooded the reality star's page with comments.

"That's not Kendall I'm dying," wrote one while another clarified: "That's not Kendall ya madman that's @emrata."

"To be fair they are the double of each other..but no its not Kendall haha," added another.

Maybe Scotty is trying out Jeremy's approach to online humour…

A 24,500 square metre data centre which will help run online services including the iTunes store, App store and Siri has been granted planning permission in Galway by An Bord Pleanála.

The establishment of the data centre, which is set to cost approximately €850 million, signals very welcome news for the Republic as it beat out 18 other countries also vying for the project.

Despite flooding fears, energy usage, environmental and climate change impact and wildlife issues being raised in objection, An Bord Pleanála this week ruled in favour of the project.

While acknowledging concerns, the board insisted that the centre's establishment would not infringe on the surrounding community.
 
"It is considered that the proposed development would not seriously injure the amenities of the area or of property in the vicinity, would not have an unacceptable visual impact, would not exacerbate risk of flooding in the vicinity, would not result in a risk of pollution, would not be prejudicial to public health, would be acceptable in terms of traffic safety and convenience, and would not have detrimental environmental impacts," they concluded.

The centre, which will be housed on a 197-hectare site near Athenry owned by State forestry company Coillte, will be comprised of large halls with an uninterrupted electricity supply which store data from smartphones, tablets and computers including images, video and documents.

Commenting on the landmark decision, local TD Ciaran Cannon suggested that Apple's decision to set up in Galway may act as a catalyst for other leading corporations.

"It is significant in terms of what it says to the world," he said.

"This is a development that needs high quality broadband, high quality power supply and this local economy has shown it can deliver." he added.

"It’s a very strong endorsement for the whole region and this is the beginning of what I hope will be a very significant ICT cluster."

According to the Irish Independent, 300 people are set to be employed during construction, while 150 will secure positions following the centre's establishment.

The general consensus at SHEmazing! HQ is that The Fall was undoubtedly one of the most frightening series to ever hit the small screen.

And despite the fact the vast majority of us watched it through our fingers, we kept coming back for more…before losing a night's sleep in the aftermath.

Focussing on the cat and mouse game which played out between Jamie Dornan and Gillian Anderson in the first two series, it sounds like us viewers are in for a serious shock as we head into season three.

Commenting on his role as Paul Spector, the 34-year-old actor teased fans of the show by saying: "You can expect the unexpected."

"There’s quite remarkable turns in the third season that I really genuinely think people won’t see coming that are hugely exciting," he added.

While he reached global fame for his role as Christian Grey in the Fifty Shades franchise, it sounds like Jamie credits his role as serial killer Spector for much of his success.

"You know, that job changed my life," he said.

"They’re like family to me and I’m forever grateful for it to be a part of my life and, you know, I would play that character to my dying days if I had the opportunity," he revealed.

And we'd watch him play it…through our fingers though, obvs.

Fans were left stunned when Joshua Jackson and Diane Kruger called time on their relationship earlier this summer.

Despite the fact Diane appeared incredibly reluctant to tie the knot after ten years, theirs seemed like one of the most steadfast unions in Hollywood.

But it wasn't meant to be.

And while Diane has had to fend off speculation she had been having an affair with Norman Reedus, Joshua has kept a low profile… until now.

Appearing at Television Critics Association press tour yesterday in order to present the third season of his Showtime drama The Affair,  Joshua was forced to field questions regarding fidelity and relationships failures.

And, unlike many of us who would fall apart having to address such topics in the aftermath of a break-up, the former Dawson's Creek star did himself proud.

When asked by a reporter what makes a relationship fall apart, 38-year-old Joshua responded: "I don’t know, truthfully."

Referring to characters in the show, Joshua continued: "I think each one of the situations is individual. The relationship between The Affair’s Helen and Noah presented its own issues."

Undoubtedly feeling the pressure given the timing of the press junket, Joshua finished by saying: "The relationship between Cole and Alison presented its own issues, and I’m not sure that there is an answer."

Props Joshua, props.

If the word 'genius' was removed from Kanye West's vocabulary, he'd have a pretty hard time describing himself.

Convinced he's brought more creativity to the music industry than other artist, the Life of Pablo singer has never been shy about saying as much.

"For me, you know, I’m a creative genius," he once told Jimmy Kimmel. "And there’s no other way to word it."

Well, as far as Paul McCartney is concerned, there are a few ways to word Kanye's contribution to the world of music, but 'genius' isn't one of them.

When asked by Rolling Stone if he agreed with Kanye's description of himself, the Beatle said: "I don't throw that word around. I think he's a great artist."

Softening the blow for poor ol' Yeezy, Paul continued: "Take My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. I played it when I was cooking, and it was like, ‘This is good. There's some really innovative stuff."

And while he may not consider Kanye a genius, Paul was obviously more than willing to work with the star.

Recalling his decision to collaborate with Kanye and Rihanna, Paul told he publication: "When the word came from his people, through my people, I thought, ‘Let's give it a go.'"

Kanye, that's all you can ask of a Beatle, OK?
