Earlier this week, Kim Cattrall caused waves when she made her feelings for former co-star, Sarah Jessica Parker, known during an interview with Piers Morgan.

Commenting on reports she had delayed the production of Sex and the City 3, the 61-year-old actress insisted that she had been portrayed badly by those involved.

"It’s quite extraordinary to get any kind of negative press about something that I’ve been saying for almost a year of ‘no’ that I’m demanding or a diva," she told Piers.

Turning her attention to those involved in the discussions, Kim continued: "And this is really where I take to task the people from Sex And The City and specifically Sarah Jessica Parker in that I think she could have been nicer. I really think she could have been nicer."

Kim went on to label her relationship with her former colleagues as 'toxic' – something Willie Garson, who played Stanford Blatch, has taken grave exception to.

Taking to Twitter to reference Kim's interview, Willie wrote: "Dear fans, because I'm "toxic", I'm going to negotiate a contract for 6 months, not come to terms, then say I never wanted to do it anyway."

Responding to fans' suggestion that the movie should be created without the character of Samantha, Willie responded in the negative, writing: "All or none, as it should be."

"Nope, all or none, ALL are integral and have always been treated as such," he added when pressed on the issue in the Twitter thread.

However, not everyone supports Willie's swipe at his former co-star, with one fan suggesting that the tweet was indicative of a toxic relationship.

"No, toxic would be trying to shame someone on social media into doing something she clearly doesn't want to do. SATC is dead and buried!" wrote one.

This thing doesn't look like it's going to settle down any time soon.

Earlier today we reported on Jimmy Kimmel's deeply moving tribute to the dozens of people who were murdered by gunman, Stephen Paddock, on Saturday night in Las Vegas.

While choking back tears, Jimmy offered a commentary on the senseless loss of life seen time and again in the United States due to a distinct lack of adequate gun control.

Insisting that 'prayers and thoughts are insufficient' as the United States comes to terms with the worst mass shooting in history, Jimmy appealed to those in power to use their 'common sense', and actively prevent the public from procuring weapons which can kill and maim hundreds of innocent people in mere minutes.

The studio audience applauded the presenter's heartfelt speech at the top of the show, and Twitter has also been quick to highlight the significance of Jimmy's words.

However, not everyone was as moved by the host's commentary on the massacre, with many taking to Twitter to accuse the father-of-four of an insincere address.

Form comparing car manufacturers with those in support of the 2nd amendment to suggesting that the host's stance was one of a Communist, Twitter didn't hold back when pouring scorn over JImmy's heartfelt plea.

The vast majority of us, at some point, have returned home to find a note from a tradesman explaining why he was unable to complete a particular task.

Whether it was due to the fact he couldn't access your property or needed to source particular tools in which to complete the job, few of us are strangers to the ups and downs of getting work done in our home.

But if Twitter thought it had heard it all by now, it was sorely mistaken, after one social media user shared a note a maintenance person had left at her home.

Uploading a photo of the message, Elie revealed that the reason the work was incomplete was because – wait for  it-  'black cat said no'.

Clearly in knots over the discovery, Ellie wrote: "Guys, maintenance tried to visit my house today and only left this on the door I'm crying."

And she's not alone.

The post, which was uploaded just two days ago has amassed almost 40,000 likes, with Twitter users insisting that 'black cat said no' will be their go-to excuse from now on.

Sharing photos of their own black cats looking decidedly put out by the suggestion that maintenance would want to carry out work, Twitter, in this instance, played an absolute blinder.

Feast your eyes here.

Social media users have taken to Twitter in their droves to commend Julia Louis Dreyfuss's response to her recent cancer diagnosis.

The Veep star uploaded a short but poignant message to her Twitter account after learning that she had breast cancer.

Turning her attention to the millions of other women dealing with a similar diagnosis, the 56-year-old actress urged the public to work towards supporting them.

"1 in 8 women get breast cancer. Today, I'm the one," she began in a post which has been liked almost 400,000 thousands in less than 24 hours.

"The good news is that I have the most glorious group of supportive and caring family and friends, and fantastic insurance through my union. The bad news is that not all women are so lucky, so let's fight all cancers and make universal health care a reality."

Unsurprisingly, Julia's fans and followers have wasted no time showing their support for their star and paying tribute to her empathetic post.

Among the supporters are high-profile names including former vice-president Joe Biden, Hollywood producer Judd Apatow and Pitch Perfect star, Anna Kendrick.

"We Veeps stick together. Jill and I, and all of the Bidens, are with you, Julia." wrote Joe in a post which has been liked more than a quarter of million times.

"Sending you love and strength but it appears you beat us to it and are sending the world love and strength," Judd wrote in a tribute yesterday.

HBO, home to the award-winning Veep, have released a statement regarding Julia's announcement, beginning: "Our love and support go out to Julia and her family at this time."

"We have every confidence she will get through this with her usual tenacity and undaunted spirit, and look forward to her return to health and to HBO for the final season of Veep."

Remember the last time you left the house feeling like a goddamn queen, only to have the universe conspire against you?

Yeah, us too, because… well… we're all human. And that's life.

Reminding us of this cruel lesson is our new favourite person, Laura Jane Williams, who not only fell victim to the treachery of the universe, but went ahead and uploaded footage of it to Twitter.

Laura, who is an author by profession, decided to film herself walking down the street, before revealing that she was feeling quite sexy.

And then this happened…

Unsurprisingly, Twitter has instantly gained a new hero, as Laura's page has been inundated with messages from the public, congratulating her on a top-notch upload.

 "Honestly what f*cking beautiful moment," wrote one while another added: "I’ve played this about 1000 times and I’m still crying."

Laura, you do you.

It's been just over two months since Linkin Park frontman, Chester Bennington, took his own life at his home in Palos Verdes Estates in California.

And as his fans and followers come to terms with the singer's passing, his family, friends and former bandmates have done their utmost to remind the public of the person behind the chart-topping songs and albums.

Taking to Twitter this week, Linkin Park shared backstage footage of the 41-year-old during a lighthearted moment, writing: "Cherishing all the times Chester made us laugh. Taking a look back at some of our favourite LPTV moments."

The short clip has amassed a huge response, with social media users paying tribute to the father-of-six in the aftermath of his death this summer.

"I’ve been doing the same thing! Watching made me smile/laugh. Grateful we have these moments," responded one fan to the band's poignant post.

"What a guy. Chester was one of a kind, and things like this will live on forever!" added another.

Recently, Chester's wife, Talinda Bennington, shared a video of her late husband just 36 hours before his death – footage which showed the singer in high spirits as he relaxed with his family.

Reminding the public that people who suffer from depression often do so in silence, writing: "This is what depression looked like to us just 36 hrs b4 his death. He loved us SO much & we loved him." (sic)

The band's upload last night has amassed more than 30,000 likes so far.

Thanks to the rise of social media and a certain Kardashian clan, female beauty standards have changed somewhat over the past few years.

We've said bye-bye to thigh gaps and hello to voluptuous curves – and while many may see this as a step in the right direction, others suggest the new 'ideal' has simply changed from one unattainable body type to another.

One girl who believes this to be true is 15-year-old, Juliana Delacruz.

The Texas native recently earned the praise of her social media followers after she posted a picture of her petite figure, along with the caption: “just because I’m not ‘thick’ it doesn’t mean that I’m not able to love my body. #selflove”.

According to The Independent, the Instagram post received over 50,000 likes, though Juliana has since her her account.

In an interview with Yahoo LifeStyle, Juliana revealed how she deals with negativity around body image.

“I overcome this negativity by fighting with positivity. The only reason why I post about it because I want other girls who experience this to know that they’re not alone.”

She also has this advice for anyone who is struggling with self-love:  “Not everyone is going to think we’re beautiful. Everybody has their own opinion and we should try our hardest not to let the opinions bring us down.”

“I know that we all have insecurities and it’s something we can’t change but we’re all so different and unique that we should express ourselves the right way and not let what other people say or think define you.”

Preach!

If there's one thing you can say about the Kardashian/Jenner clan, it's that they know how to keep the public enthralled.

No matter how many times you insist you're done keeping up with them, something will always happen to draw you back into their world.

And, unsurprisingly, the best place to hang out during these times is with like-minded folk on Twitter.

So, when word landed last night that 20-year-old Kylie Jenner is reportedly pregnant with her first child, Twitter went into meltdown, and everyone grabbed the popcorn.

While the young businesswoman and reality star has yet to confirm the reports which are currently circulating all over the world right now, social media users are wasting no time sharing their thoughts on the supposed pregnancy.

Here is just a glimpse of what you might have missed so far…

What does Chrissy Teigen do when she needs a grocery item?

Well she takes to Twitter to alert her legions of fans, of course.

The model was on the hunt for a bunch of bananas last night, and rather than venturing out to the shops, she relied on her 7.5 million followers to come to her aid.

Chrissy promised a pair of her husband John Legend's underwear, a signed cookbook and a Becca highlighting palette to the follower who could get her the bananas the quickest (the gal was clearly gasping for a slice of banana bread).

When asked if he was in on the distribution of his underwear as a prize, John tweeted: 'Yes and I approve. Can't make banana bread without brown bananas.'

Follower Meg Zukin had the goods, and so was chosen to make the swap, despite being one banana short of the requested amount.

Meg drove to meet Chrissy's assistant to make the swap. 

However, there was one condition on the exchange. 

Chrissy tweeted that on the request of her assistant, the fan must sample a small piece of the bananas in front of her assistant, for Chrissy's safety, on the off chance the fan was some kind of poisoner. 

The bananas then made their way to the model's mansion in mega quick time, to fulfil their destiny of becoming Chrissy Teigen's banana bread, as evidenced by a follow-up picture of Chrissy's assistant arriving with the goods. 

However, this snap raised further, non-banana related questions. 

Fans were quick to point out that Chrissy and John's dog was inexplicably dressed up as a bell hop.

To this Chrissy simply said: 'Don't ask.'

Just another day in Celebland…

Despite a rise in bloggers and influences speaking out against unrealistic beauty standards and 'perfect' Instagram shots, there are still a small minority of people who feel the need to put others down.

Sure, it would be great if all this negativity never existed in the first place, but isn't it great when a foolish attempt at body-shaming backfires completely?

Well, that's exactly what happened to Twitter user, Leyton Mokgerepi.

Earlier this week, plus-size blogger, Lesego Legobane, was stunned to discovered that her photo had been used in a meme posted by Leyton.

The image was placed beside a photo of a slender woman wearing a barely-there swimsuit, with the caption: “Girls that I like vs girls that like me.”

While these type of comparison memes are generally intended to be light-hearted and funny, Leyton's attempt was quite the opposite.

But of course, Lesego had the perfect response, simply replying: “I don't like you.”

Her reply has since racked up over 200,000 retweets and close to 700,000 likes.

Leyton later tried to backtrack by tweeting the same image along with the caption “Girlfriend goals” – but no one was buying it.

Bravo Lesego, bravo!

A television news reporter, who described herself as a 'chunky girl' while braving the wrath of Hurricane Irma, was met with the a reassuring response from her colleague this week. 

Sara Sinder, a reporter for CNN, was broadcasting live from Florida when she used her size to demonstrate just how strong the winds were.

She told news anchor, Don Lemon: “What we’re also seeing is a lot of projectiles, you’ve been hearing from everyone that that’s the danger here. The things that cover the lights are flying around. The tops of trash cans flying around.”

“And this wind — I am not a small woman, as you know, Don. I am a chunky girl, and it is blowing me around when the gusts come really, really hard.”

Back in studio, Don wasn't impressed with Sara's self-deprecating comments and as soon as the camera cut back, he offered this advice: “You’re a beautiful woman no matter what size you are. There’s nothing wrong with having a little curve.”

Of course, the clip quickly went viral and it's safe to say Twitter has a bit of a mixed reaction.

While most people praised Don for his response…

… some weren't quite on the same page.

Daily Show host Trevor Noah also criticised the clip saying: “Okay, that was a bit weird because, uh… Don Lemon, that report said nothing about being beautiful… I wished the camera would have cut back to Sara to respond like, ‘Yeah Don, I never said I wasn’t beautiful.’"
