As we reported earlier, Taylor Swift and Nicki Minaj have clashed over tweets that Nicki posted about the VMA nominations.

And the reactions from other celebrities have been absolutely hysterical.

Firstly, Kim Kardashian hilariously (and accidentally) got caught up in the action when she was tweeting pictures of herself from the Vogue Spain photoshoot.

When she captioned one of the pictures “Imma let you finish but…” fans quickly assumed that Kim was throwing a dig at Taylor and referencing the time Kanye interrupted Taylor’s 2009 VMA acceptance speech.

When Kim realised what she had done, she took to Twitter to explain herself.

And in a slightly more deliberate fashion, Bruno Mars also decided to get in on the action when he mocked Taylor and Nicki by creating his own VMA themed Twitter feud with Ed Sheeran.

Ed obviously saw the funny side of the joke, tweeting Bruno back saying, “@BrunoMars any way we do dis you gon’ come up short”.

Taylor Swift and Nicki Minaj are the latest celebs to air their dirty laundry over Twitter.

The two songstresses have found themselves going head to head over their respective nominations for this year’s VMA awards. Although, at further inspection it seems like there may have been a miscommunication somewhere along the way.

The nominations for this year’s MTV Video Music Awards were released yesterday, with Taylor being nominated in an outstanding nine categories, including video of the year for Bad Blood.

Ms Minaj also received a hefty amount of nominations, including the nod for best female video and best hip-hop video for Anaconda.

But Nicki made no secret about how she felt slighted not being nominated for video of the year.

The Starships singers took to Twitter to voice her opinion. “If your video celebrates women with very slim bodies, you will be nominated for vid of the year.”

As Taylor was nominated amongst Ed Sheeran, Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars, Kendrick Lamar and Beyoncé, it is understandable that Nicki’s comment seemed like a dig at her.

Taylor replied saying “I’ve done nothing but love & support you. It’s unlike you to pit women against each other. Maybe one of the men took your slot.”

However, Nicki’s reply made it seem as if she didn’t know what Tay-Tay was talking about. “Huh? U must not be reading my tweets. Didn’t say a word about u. I love u just as much. But u should speak on this.”

Could Taylor have simply misunderstood Nicki’s slight, or is Ms Minaj simply trying to cover herself after insulting an innocent person?

In case you missed it over the weekend, the #GrowingUpWithSiblings Twitter trend brought back some very intense memories of fights for the bathroom. It also reminded us all that no family car journey would ever be complete without a fight over who sat in the middle, or the lengths we went to keep control of the remote. 

Sure, some lucky people had childhoods blissfully unaware of what it was like have your wardrobe routinely raided, but that was not always the case. As usual, Twitter users were very quick to remind us what is was really like to grow up with brothers and sisters and the results were hilarious. 

You were capable of serious plotting

The moment of panic

We all wanted to be the favourite at some point

Feeling very smug whenever this happened

"No we don't."

We feel your pain

One Direction’s fans made Twitter absolutely explode with rumours of Liam getting engaged to his girlfriend, Sophia Smith.

Proving once again that they are the most hard core fans, they have even managed to get #SophiamIsEngaged trending worldwide.

But could there be any truth to the rumours?

Sadly, it appears that the commotion was stemmed only from excited fans.

Liam took to Twitter to show that he at least found all the tweets comical.  He even retweeted his favourite fan tweet from the frenzy.

Since the 21-year-old shot down the rumours, other 1D fans seem to be having a meltdown over the fact that people started these rumours in the first place.

Liam also proved this week that he is not afraid to speak his mind as he openly slammed Naughty Boy during the band’s performance in Vancouver.

Mr Payne read out a sign that an audience member was holding up that bashed the music producer that has caused so much friction between Zayn and the rest of the band.

Rihanna has become the victim of another alleged stalker only a year after a previous stalker had been arrested.

The 27-year old Umbrella singer has been the victim of threatening messages on social media. The man had even posted a photograph of a gun and bullets.

On April 30 the alleged stalker posted a selfie outside Riri’s home but when police arrived to the location he had left. Reports from TMZ have said that the user account from where the tweets were sent is registered under two separate names.

The police in the U.S are now tracking the suspect electronically. While the selfies outside her home are not the most pleasant, the other messages he wrote are far more disturbing.

In a tweet the man, named as Alex Mercer, wrote “Should of killed @rihanna a minute back I would be good right now. Sorcery is a weapon I use guns, bout to get a gun licence, can’t use my hands.”

In early June he posted a message saying “Imma marry @rihanna Lord willing s#omebody might die or something.”

Gossip Cop reports that some of the messages, which included Bible verses, were sent to Rihanna’s ex-boyfriend Chris Brown as well as the singer herself.

Some of the man’s tweets refer to her as his “baby momma” and others even refer to the singer’s young niece: “@rihanna tell majesty that her step uncle said happy birthday.”

His Twitter account was suspended but he appears to be using an alias in order to continue to bombard the star with messages. He even directed one to Jay-Z, whose record label Rihanna is signed with: “@S_C_ tell them in not a stalker you know me other page got suspended.”

Early in June a man was reportedly arrested after attempting to gain entry to Rihanna’s New York apartment building but was stopped by her bodyguard.  

This is not the first time Riri has had to deal with situations involving trespassers and stalkers. This time last year a 53-year old man was arrested after he was hand-delivering unsettling messages to Rihanna’s Soho apartment.

X Factor host Caroline Flack did not hold back when she took to Twitter to shut down some body shaming tweets that were flying about the TV star.

Following her appearance at the X Factor Manchester auditions earlier this week, Caroline, 35, sparked some pregnancy rumours.

Her outfit choice was the starting point with her loose fitting animal print top sparking twitter users to debate whether or not she might be expecting.

Last night so took to Instagram to address the wondering public as she posted a photo of her and fellow presenter Olly Murs.

Her caption read:  "Dear whoever ….I'm not PREGNANT . I like loose fitting clothing and I don't dress for you I DRESS FOR ME!!!!! And it's also very personal and very rude…. I'm off to eat 5 burgers!!!!!!"

The star also addressed one magazine in particular, shutting down any speculation regarding the matter of her private life very simply:

Short and sweet.

Caroline isn’t the only X Factor star to be under the spotlight recently.

Just days ago Cheryl Fernandez- Versini took to Instagram to address some nasty comments she had received regarding her figure online.

After some Instagram users left comments on a photo of the X Factor judge saying she had gotten too thin, Cheryl was quick to address the body-shaming and put an end to it.

The 32-year old singer has recently said she’s sick and tired of nameless social media users declaring that she has lost too much weight.

She said: “Have some respect and maybe think there may be reasons why before opening your mouth please.”

One Direction kicked off the North American leg of their world tour last night in San Diego.

This was their first show in the U.S since Zayn Malik left the band.  Everything was going just fine, the Directioners were in top form and the guys had an amazing concert. Except for one small little slip up.

Fan favourite Harry Styles took a bit of a tumble onstage. Naturally, his bandmates couldn’t contain their laughter. They almost had to stop singing and gather themselves. We don’t blame them, watching people fall is comedy gold.

Watching people fall in a dramatic and cartoonish fashion in front of a massive crowd of screaming fans is even better. Come on, look at him. It’s impossible not to laugh.

The good people of twitter reacted much like we had hoped. Within hours #ohnoharry was trending worldwide and there have been countless memes and gifs made of the unfortunate moment.

Harry was able to laugh off the little snafu but his fans, dedicated and passionate though they are, were also very quick to make the most of his embarrassing moment.

They did a really good job.

Will Smith's son Jaden Smith celebrated his 17th birthday yesterday while performing topless at the New Look Wireless festival. 

Jaden, who has followed in his parents footsteps by becoming an actor and rapper, is known for being a bit 'out there' when it comes to his fashion – but he's also garnered a stellar reputation as a weird and wonderful tweeter.

Jaden's little sister, Willow, takes after him in a lot of ways. Indeed, the 14-year-old is equally as outspoken and the pair seem to spend a lot of their time focusing on being free thinkers and disagreeing with society. 

Some of Jaden's tweets are just bizarre, but you've got to hand it to him, for a 17-year-old, he has a pretty deep understanding of life. 

This sounds so awkward 

He's actually got a point here 

Yea, swerving too hard is the worst 

Well, not exactly. 

There's a good chance she'll guess it's you Jaden 

Not quite…

Deep, bro 

That's the main thing 

He may be on to something here, we hate customs 

That's a tough one 

Yea, we have no words for this one

We know by now that Taylor Swift likes to keep track of some her fans social media activity.

She did after all recently weigh in on one Tumblr users fashion dilemma with some red carpet advice.

 

UM ROBERT IS FLYING @staronstage #1989TourGlasgow

A photo posted by Taylor Swift (@taylorswift) on

Yesterday, she tweeted her love of a fan’s cover of Bad Blood, and now Alessia Cara has created a social media storm.

She’s already been creating some buzz in the industry since her hit Here went viral, but considering the amount of Swift covers that exist on YouTube already, we think the fact that Taylor put the spotlight on this one is saying something.

Looks like Gigi might have to move over because we think it won’t be long before Alessia gets her own inflatable swan and joins the ultimate girl squad.

Taylor wrote on Twitter that she thinks Alessia is "AMAZING". She used all capitals so you know she's being very serious. 

Alessia’s more relaxed version of Bad Blood, including Kendrick Lamar’s rap, has grabbed the attention of the 25-year old music star and her 60million followers since Tay-Tay retweeted the video.

We imagine that’s probably the best shout-out Alessia could have imagined.

Her reaction pretty much sums up what any of us would have done after receiving a nod from the Grammy winner.

Nicely done, Alessia.

The trend #CANCELYOURENGAGEMENTZAYN started trending earlier this afternoon, and has been growing rapidly since.

Ever since former One Direction singer Zayn Malik and his girlfriend Perrie Edwards of Little Mix fame got engaged in 2013, the former's fans have taken to social media to voice their unease.

We thought we had seen the height of their dedication when the 100 days since Zayn left trend went viral. This is taking it to new extremes, however, and some fans are not too pleased with the trend taking over.

The couple have been in no rush to walk down the aisle since their engagement, and Perrie has recently said that all of the questions about her future wedding were starting to get on her nerves.

In an interview with Capital FM she said: "I am sick of getting asked when is the wedding, when is the wedding? I'll get married when I am bloody ready! Amen!"

Meanwhile, Zayn has credited their busy working schedules with keeping them from walking down the aisle already, last year he said that “we’re just kind of engaged, we just haven’t had time to organise things like that.”

Well, if the nearly 100,000 tweets are supposed to cause a change of heart from Zayn, it doesn’t look like the wedding will be happening. Ever.

However, a lot of Zayn fans are trying to set the record straight:

We honestly thought we stood a chance, but the Twitter-verse set us straight:

Some ‘Zerrie’ (Zayn and Perrie’s couple nickname, fyi) supporters are on a mission to call out the person who started the trend however, saying they are embarrassed by it.

We imagine they might be…

First dates can be brutally awkward. Just imagine your worst ever first date experience. And now multiply it by 10 and have the whole of the internet be able to read it.

We’ve got a lot of second hand embarrassment just thinking about it.

For one unlucky Canadian lady, this unfortunately happened. Toronto based writer Anne Thériault was minding her own business in a coffee shop on Friday when she couldn’t help but overhear some very cringe-worthy antics from the table beside her.

Not wanting the rest of the world to miss out on the suffering Anne thoughtfully live-tweeted the whole ordeal. She graciously did not identify either of the participants. We imagine that they’re very grateful. 

And things just went downhill from there:

Seriously?

 

He likes the sound of his own voice too, his "inner demons" not so much.

Who doesn't appreciate a good coffee though?

Then things got a bit serious….

And mystery girl responded accordingly:

Then she plays it cool.

This is like The Great Escape

And she's out of there, thankfully. We're sure it could have been a nice guy, maybe he just got a little nervous. Moral of the story: first dates are just awkward.

Twitter was all a flutter yesterday when the hashtag #singlebecause started trending in Ireland.

To be honest, some of the reasons people come up with for their relationship status are hilarious at the best of times, but yesterday Irish Twitter users really pulled out all the stops.

While some people would rather pretend they have bird flu than explain to their granny one more time why they didn’t bring an S.O to the family BBQ, others were more than happy to explain their single status with the world.

So we read them, and we rounded up just a few of our favourites. It was pretty difficult to narrow these down, there were some absolute gems.

We knew this would catch up with u

It was all downhill from there.

Truth. 

Even fictional characters struggle.

This man has a lot to answer for.

You can't deny your true feelings.
