A digital marketing agency is recruiting a ‘Kardashian Kurator’ to write about members of the Kardashian/Jenner families for £250 a day, three days a week. The job requires following their activities on social media, watching Keeping Up With The Kardashians and reporting on their daily activities.

It seemed as if every star in the world had descended on LA last week for the Golden Globes. The biggest names in film and television rubbed shoulders, drank champagne and dined on an all-vegan menu. (A surprisingly tasty carrot soup, FYI.) And yet, in the clamour of the weekend, one woman proved to be firmly on the top of everyone’s must-meet list: Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

Love Island is back in a new country, with a new host and at a new time of year – but with the same old diversity issues.

It was a summit the likes of which the royal family has never seen before. The Queen, Prince Charles, Prince William and Prince Harry, coming together at Sandringham to discuss their most recent, explosive problem: Megxit. Now, the Queen has spoken.

Receiving an Oscar nomination is a milestone in the career of any actor, and most will remember where they were when they received word of their achievement. That will definitely be the case for Florence Pugh. The 24-year-old has just discovered that she has been nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her performance as Amy March in Little Women, but when the call came through she wasn't actually even dressed.

The 2020 awards season has kicked off and we are now fully in the swing of things. Last week we had the Golden Globes, last night we had the Critics' Choice Awards and today we were blessed with the list of Oscars' nominations. Phew.

Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop is known for selling weird and wonderful (and quite expensive) items. However, one of her latest products has caused quite a stir. Even for her. Last week, the internet erupted into giggles when the site started selling a candle, which was not-so-subtly named This Smells Like My Vagina.

As the shockwaves of Harry and Meghan's bombshell announcement continue to be felt, there are lots of reports claiming that Harry and his brother William are battling to find a resolution. The pair are in crisis talks with father Prince Charles and their grandmother the Queen, but they have already agreed on one thing.

Forget Christmas. It's the most wonderful time of the year: the Oscars are coming. And ahead of the ceremony in February, the nominations have been announced by actors John Cho and Issa Rae.

Thanks to Netflix, we're still obsessing over Friends. Yes, that’s even though it ended in 2004. And Jennifer Aniston keeps on fuelling the fire. You’ll remember that she sent the internet wild when she joined Instagram in October, with her first photo being a selfie with the Friends crew.

It’s not even been a week since Meghan and Harry made the announcement to step down from their senior duties, but already, it looks like the Suits star could make a return to acting. (Which we are so here for.) According to reports in The Times this weekend, the Duchess has already recorded her first voiceover work for Disney, with the recording happening at the end of last year.

Phoebe Waller-Bridge is already turning out to be the big winner of awards season (but then, by how much we all loved the second series of Fleabag, we’re hardly surprised). Last night, the director-slash-actress triumphed yet again, by taking home best actress in a comedy series and best comedy series at the 2020 Critics' Choice Awards.

Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid have split up and got back together again more times than we can count .But this time it looks like the couple are firmly back on, as they were spotted arm-in-arm as they strolled through New York with friends on the way to his 27th birthday celebrations.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle this week announced their decision to quit as senior Royals and become 'financially independent'. While many praised the couple's decision, it has reportedly sent shockwaves through the Royal family, leading to the Queen holding a crisis summit at Sandringham with the family tomorrow to discuss the situation.

Beyonce set the Beyhive abuzz this week when she posted a photo of herself leaning to sip from a martini. It wasn’t just the magnificence of the beverage, or the dazzling beauty of Bey herself, which prompted a social media outpouring – rather, the inferences drawn by internet sleuths, who’ve taken the pic as a sign that the queen of music will be penning and performing the new James Bond theme song.

Ok, gang. Sherlock hats on, please. So – Sienna Miller attended the Golden Globes on Sunday, looking sparkly as ever. Nothing to report, beyond her customary loveliness. But later in the week, Sienna was papped walking through New York. Bundled up against the cold, she wore a coat, hat, boots – but no gloves. No. On the contrary, her fingers were bare – that is, aside from a very conspicuous ring, on a very significant finger. So, diamond. Ring finger. Engaged? Maybe.

So Stormzy and Wiley have been engaged in a good old-fashioned grime feud since New Year’s Day. It’s been great fun watching the duo be mean about each other’s mums, Stormzy calling Wiley a fuckboy, and Wiley pointed out that it was embarrassing to collaborate with Ed Sheeran. Stormzy’s a ‘weirdo’, Wiley’s a ‘dinosaur’. Etc, etc.

Amy Schumer shared a powerful picture on Instagram last night highlighting the dark realities of IVF treatment. Showing followers her bruised stomach - which occur when injecting the midsection with long, thick needles used for IVF - she detailed feeling ‘really run down and emotional’. Schumer asked for advice from women with experience of IVF, even sharing her phone number with followers.

Can you believe it's that time of year again? Well, it's understandable if it's come upon you a bit sooner than usual: this year, Love Island is returning earlier thanks to a brand new winter season.

In light of the terrible fires affecting much of Australia, many are doing their best to raise money to help those battling to fight the blaze, as well as support the people and animals left in its wake. Now Phoebe Waller-Bridge is doing her bit, and you can be a part of it. Fancy your own piece of cultural history that has the added bonus of helping those in need? There is a way.

As if we needed a new reason to celebrate the cultural phenomenon that Phoebe Waller-Bridge has become, she's now got two new trophies to fit somewhere on her packed mantelpiece. Last night she won a pair of Golden Globes, one recognising her performance in the second series of the acclaimed performance, and one naming the programme the best comedy of the year.

Four very different women, facing the trials and tribulations of life, work and love? Are we talking about comedy classic Sex And The City? Or classic novel Little Women? The two are cultural phenomena in their own way, but we admit we hadn't exactly put them together before. Until now, of course.

Instead of posting photos of the devastation caused by the Australian wildfires, Margot Robbie decided to take a different approach to help raise money for the crisis. The actress - who grew up in on a farm in rural Queensland - showed fans candid pictures from her childhood, kept in family albums, to demonstrate how much her home country means to her.

The 2020 awards season has officially begun with The Golden Globes kicking everything off and let’s just say that if last night’s antics are anything to go by, we have a lot to look forward to this year.

It has been fifteen years since Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston sent shockwaves through the world of show business by announcing that their marriage was over. Since then, both actors remarried - Brad to Angelina Jolie, Jennifer to Justin Theroux - and yet they are clearly still in each other's lives: following Sunday's Golden Globes, the pair were at two after parties together.

It has been a while since we have seen Harry and Meghan out and about. Sure, there have been a few Instagram posts, and a glimpse or two over Christmas as they spent some time in Canada. But the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's six week break from official business has left a major couple-shaped hole in our lives. Thankfully, though, the drought is over: they are back in Britain and beginning 2020 with their first engagement.

Get ready for an epic day of royal-spotting: Lady Kitty Spencer, niece of Princess Diana, is reportedly engaged. The 29-year-old may not strictly be royal, but her connections with Prince William and Harry - they are first cousins - means that her forthcoming wedding will have one of the world's most enviable guest lists. Is it too early for us to start wondering what Kate and Meghan will be wearing?
