Now Taylor Swift takes Conor Kennedy home to Nashville to meet her parents

It seems that Taylor Swift and Conor Kennedy's Love Story is gathering pace.
The country singer headed home to Nashville this week to introduce her new boyfriend to her parents.
Excited fans posted pictures of Taylor, 22, and Conor, 18, on Twitter, as they explored her adopted hometown.

And Taylor's parents, who are currently undergoing a divorce, even reunited to share a meal together and meet their daughter's beau.
Taylor and Conor visited the Pancake Pantry, Starbucks, and various other low key eateries as they looked around.

Her fans were delighted to catch sight of Taylor in the flesh.
'This day is the best day of my life,' a fan named Abby wrote on her Tumblr page. 'I met Taylor Swift with my absolute best friends like we said we would do one day. We saw her with her new boyfriend.
God is good! Taylor's excited fans went online to share their

'We told her how happy we were for here and she had the biggest smile on her face. God is so good.'
Taylor has been dating Conor, the son of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the late Mary Richardson Kennedy, for about two months.
She has already received the seal of approval from her boyfriend's family, after she joined the Kennedy clan at their Cape Cod vacation compound.
His grandmother, family matriarch, Ethel, 84, even told journalists at a recent Television Critics Association event in Beverly Hills that the family 'should be so lucky' to welcome Swift into the fold.

The couple were brought together by Conor's aunt Rory Kennedy after she attended one of Taylor's concerts with her two daughters. 
Rory, who directed Ethel, the upcoming HBO documentary about the family matriach, gushed that Taylor 'is a great friend of all of ours.'
Adding: 'We love her. She's awesome.'
Taylor told Vogue earlier this year that she's a great admirer of the Kennedy clan, describing the moment she met Ethel Kennedy as 'the only time in my life I have ever been starstruck.'
Taylor certainly deserves a positive spell in her love life, following a string of high-profile romance flops with Taylor Lautner, Joe Jonas, John Meyer and Jake Gyllenhaal.

Feeling broody? Kim Kardashian shares intimate snaps her and Khloe cooing over their handsome nephew Mason

Kim Kardashian has been busy updating her fans with intimate snaps from her family's recent Dominican Republic trip.
But she saved the best for last, because nowhere does Kim look as beautiful as in these photographs her enjoying a night with her nephew Mason.

She and sister Khloe obviously spent a night occupying the two-year-old while their sister Kourtney, 33, spent some time with her partner Scott Disick.
And they looked to be having a whale of time, as aunties do, as they posed for pictures with the incredibly handsome boy.
Both sisters looked like they'd caught the sun and had orange and yellow tops on that blended in with Mason's natty shirt.
Kim looked like a natural, and the way her relationship with Kanye West is going, it may only be a matter of time before she has a go herself.

It is not often that the real Kim can be seen with her guard down acting naturally without TV cameras.
But the reality television star has been sharing copious photographs of her and the rest of the clan on holiday.
The Kardashians went on a family vacation to the sunny Dominican Republic and although the excursion was filmed, their private time away from the cameras was not.

The episode aired a few weeks ago on Keeping Up With The Kardashians, but some pictures were kept exclusively for the family album.
Kim, 31, looked as good as ever in a turquoise two-piece bikini that showed off her impressive cleavage but, she kept the rest of her body covered in a colourful kaftan.
The model looked carefree as she relaxed on a boat with her long brunette locks falling over her shoulders with her eyes hidden behind a pair of sunglasses.

In another picture she can be seen posing with her younger sister Khloe who was sporting some braided hair and stayed completely hidden also in a kaftan.
Kim tweeted: 'The whole family went to The Dominican Republic... you would have seen our trip on the show a few episodes back.
'I was going through my camera and found a ton of pics from our vacation!!' she tweeted.
She added: 'We had the most amazing time! Probably my favorite family vacation yet. Even Kendall and Kylie's BFF's Maddie and Spencer came to join in on the fun!'

Even workaholic Kris Jenner seemed to be enjoying herself as she got her daughter to stand with her autobiographical book titled Kris Jenner... and All Things Kardashian.
The manager of all the sisters joined Khloe in not showing off her bikini as Kylie, Kendall and Kim all lay down to sunbathe.

Men and Boys' Swimwear Fashion - A History


The ancient world

The Egyptians, Phoenicians, Persians, Greeks and Romans all had swimming as part of their culture. However, evidence of how men's and boys swimwear looked varies considerably. In southwest Egypt, the 'Cave of Swimmers' wall drawings, thought to be some 10,000 years old, depict nude swimmers; not much fashion there then. However, other pre-Christian art shows men swimming in robes and long billowing trousers, so there was no consistent style of swimwear in the ancient world.

The dark and middle ages

In Europe, the art of swimming was not much practised after the collapse of the Roman Empire. Water was unsafe to drink, and people thought that swimming in the stuff would invite plague. There's even a theory that people did not swim because to show you could float was evidence that you practised witchcraft!

Changing attitudes in the 18th and 19th centuries

It wasn't until the mid-1700s that bathing came back into fashion. Doctors in England started to prescribe sea baths as a cure for all sorts of illnesses. Sea bathing received the Royal seal of approval when George III took to the waters in Weymouth in 1789. The idea of swimming for health reasons quickly spread across the channel. The French aristocracy took to the past time after the Duchesse de Berry, the daughter-in-law of Charles X, took an inaugural dip at Dieppe in 1824. Her first swim even merited a ceremonial volley of cannon fire when she entered the waters in August of that year. In England until the 1830s, the sexes swam separately at different times and places, and so it was common for men to swim nude.

The first swimwear styles

It wasn't until the 1840s when mixed bathing became acceptable in Britain that the first bathing costumes appeared for men. However, because swimming was not yet deemed suitable for children, there was no boys' swimwear fashion at this point. Men's swimwear in the 1840s consisted of colourfully striped short-legged drawers with a drawstring at the waist. This swimwear fashion was imported from France where mixed bathing had existed since the late 18th century. However, a key design flaw - the drawers had a habit of falling off - caused the market to move to a new design: a one-piece with a short-sleeved top and short-legged bottoms. Often the outfit had a broad horizontal striped pattern, which is what many of us imagine, correctly it turns out, was the fashion in Victorian times.

The 20th century

The advent of paid leave for the working man and comprehensive railway networks allowed whole families to take sea-side holidays for the first time. Swimming came to be seen as a recreation and something in which children could participate. This change in attitude created a market for boys' swimwear, which mimicked men's designs. After the first world war, it became fashionable to have a tan, so men's and boys' swimwear lost the sleeves - the tops morphed into a singlet style with narrow shoulder straps - and became shorter in the leg.Knitted wool became common, and in the 1930s, the top half of the outfit disappeared perhaps influenced by the 1932 'Tarzan the Ape Man' film starring a bare-chested Johhny Weissmuller. After the second world war, swimwear fashion started to evolve once more. New man-made fabrics such as latex and lycra made the costumes more like a second skin, and the number of colour combinations exploded.

Modern trends

In continental Europe in the 60s and 70s, the diminutive 'Speedo' style costume took off (figuratively speaking). In Anglo-Saxon countries, fashion went in the other direction from the 1990s. Men's and boys' swimwear covered up more of the leg down to or even below the knee. This Speedos v Boardies clash of styles has even been the source of political strife. In many European countries, local governments have banned board shorts, Bermudas and the like in municipal swimming pools because of hygiene concerns. In 2007, one local authority in Belgium was accused of imposing the rule in order to dissuade Muslims - presumed to want to dress more conservatively - from using its pool. The other big recent innovation is the development of body-covering sun protection swimwear. Through the use of lycra and new finishing techniques, 'rash vests' and one-piece body suits have appeared on the beaches providing 50+ UPF sun-blocking properties.

While installing motorised satellite dish

It has been some time since Satellite Dish TV became a common part of life. In fact, for today's generation watching the same channel or same set of local channels is non-existent. We are all accustomed to watching channels from all over the world and belonging to different categories, be it politics, current affairs, sports, music or movies, all thanks to the invention and installation of satellite television. We don't give it a second thought today when we switch from one channel to another watching a program from the United States or another from United Arab Emirates. Still, this wouldn't have been possible without motorised satellite dish antenna.

So what makes motorised satellite dish special? Well, for one, it saves you the effort of turning the dish antenna to a different direction each time you change your channel. Still not getting the point? Perhaps a small peak into the history of satellite dish would help you understand. When satellite dish first made its appearance, it was designed to be installed in one particular direction through which a viewer would receive signals for a particular set of channels; often, the channels of one's own city or country.

Suppose you want to watch a final match of tennis that is telecast through a channel that you don't receive currently. You go out and turn the dish pointing to another direction to receive another set of channels, one of which is telecasting the match you want to watch. Your wish is fulfilled; still, it took some effort and time, isn't it? A motorised satellite dish, on the other hand, lets you watch any channel you want by automatically turning to a particular direction each time you switch the channel. In other words, it lets you stay in front of your television and enjoy your match without losing time.

For motorised satellite dish right positioning is crucial. If you install it in a place that has many trees and posts it is possible that the transmission you get is disturbed. And since you are not there each time to check whether there is any obstacle or not, you are prone to receive a frequently interrupted transmission. Hence, while installing the motorised satellite dish, make sure you've found a place where trees and mountains are not blocking the transmission.

Satellite dishes come in different types that support different frequencies like C-Band, Ku-Band, LNB, etc. You could select the one depending on the channel package you want. With so many satellites above you watching a program you want is right at your reach no matter from which part of the world and which language.

Kids Like Flying Lanterns


There is a wide selection of Chinese lanterns as well as flying lanterns is just one sort. The actual flying lanterns can also be referred to as sky lanterns online mainly because soon after lighting them they'll begin to move up into the skies.

The most beautiful and passionate thing to experience is many hundreds of soaring lamps that are lit up and drifting way up into the night heavens. Viewing these kind of sky lanterns is usually breath taking. These lanterns have been tracked back to c.230 B.C.E having located proof of all of them first being manufactured at that time. These types of lamps tend to be customarily constructed with paper. The particular lamps are popular currently, in nearly all area worldwide, with kudos proceeding towards the Oriental Lantern Celebration. The festival will be celebrated about the 15th day of the first month of the Chinese New Year; in addition, they use them to be able to honor the very first full moon of the New Year. Curiously, lamps were used for military communication through wartime.

The modern-day lanterns are available in a multitude of shades, designs along with styles. A few of the hues available are white, yellow, blue, green, red in addition to so many other hues. Not only are colours available however, you can select from several distinct styles at the same time, for example cherry blossoms, peach flowers in addition to seasonal figures and designs. The forms in which the actual lanterns are available in have progressed drastically through the years and now they are available in brand-new shapes not just classic spherical. A number of the available designs that are available include the kite, star, cylinder, eclipse in addition to conventional round styles and they're available in dimensions ranging from 3 all the way to Twenty four inches. With some ingenuity in addition to imagination, the particular lamps are coming in brand new resources just like silk and also nylon and also the standard paper.

 The new ideas the brand new era tend to be creating have added to the buzz and the novelty of these historical lights. A few of the new efforts that are just getting into target can be lotus sailing water lamps plus the chain lamps that are 10 tiny plastic lantern lighting that can be strung just like Xmas lamps. To add to this specific brand new era of lighting that are sweeping the marketplace are actually lamps that are battery powered and also include LED lamps within them. All these lamps will need simply no use of fire or maybe electric wires, leading them to be safer for young children to be around.

The purposes for Chinese Paper Lanterns will be endless. Sky lanterns online and also flying lanterns which a number of call them could be the most amusing of all of the lamps you could choose from, obviously taking into account that they are applied safely.

Need some Help? James McAvoy gets hit by a cab after fight with Jessica Chastain on set of The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby

She was nominated for an Oscar for her performance in The Help, and the writers who are very, very originally behind her latest film, had a huge hit with the song... Help.
Funny then, that Jessica Chastain's could really have done with some as she endured a rough, physical fight with her husband (played by James McAvoy) in New York today.
Jessica, 35, is filming The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby, which takes it's title from the Beatles' song, Eleanor Rigby, which was actually written by Paul McCartney.

It's widely believed that John Lennon penned Help, though the songwriting team always created the finishing touches to their songs together.
She's certainly making herself feel at home on the set, where she and co-star James McAvoy are composing a dramatic symphony.
The 35-year-old brought her pooch, a rescue named Chaplin, along to the set earlier in the week.
The redhead shot to fame last year as the result of a handful of high-profile movies including The Help and Tree of Life, for which she garnered much critical praise.

She won over 35 critics' awards and was widely hailed as Hollywood's next big thing.
Her new movie, in which she stars opposite the Scottish actor, does not yet have a release date but is already attracting a lot of buzz because of its unusual format.
The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby tells the story of how a married couple in New York City deals with an emotional, life-altering experience, from two different perspectives.
It will be split into two feature films: 'His', giving the perspective of McAvoy's character, and 'Hers', offering the perspective of Chastain's character.

The writer and director of the film is New Yorker Ned Benson, and this is his first feature film.
Jessica lives near the beach in Santa Monica, Los Angeles, with Chaplin and her other two rescue dogs, Radley, a corgi-spaniel cross, and Roman, a chihuahua mix.
When she’s not working she loves to cook – she’s a strict vegan and together with Woody Harrelson topped PETA's list of 2012's Sexiest Vegetarian Celebrities contest.
The pair beat out more than 100 of Hollywood's hottest vegetarians, including Michelle Pfeiffer, Anne Hathaway, Ellen DeGeneres, Ben Stiller and Joaquin Phoenix.

Battle of Bond Street: Sexy Victoria's Secret upsets upmarket neighbour Fenwick ... and the new store hasn't even opened yet

American lingerie giant Victoria's Secret has been teasing UK fans with the promise of a British store filled with their signature sexy underwear for over a year.
A mammoth corner site on London's prestigious Bond Street has been secured for the first flagship shop and although building hiccups have meant that the glitzy opening has continued to be delayed, the launch date is almost here ... and not everybody is happy about it.
Designer department store Fenwick has been located at 63 New Bond Street since 1891 when it opened as a small shop offering exclusive tailoring for ladies.
Model Barbara Palvin models a vintage style lingerie set from the brand's spring/summer ranges

Its customers are mostly well-heeled women of a certain age who enjoy shopping and lunching in this exclusive London enclave, just a stone's throw from Claridges and home to designer labels like Mulberry, Louis Vuitton and Dolce & Gabbana.
 

These women are probably not the target market for Victoria's Secret who are famous for their bold, bright, affordable designs, and whose super sexy, super glossy campaigns have made the American high street brand a globally recognised name.

And it is these scantily-clad campaign images that are said to have gotten Fenwick's knickers in a twist.
They star the world's most beautiful supermodels wearing not very much as they show off the latest lingerie designs and often feature in the store's huge colourful window displays alongside mannequins dressed in babydolls, briefs and bras.
Not the kind of thing that Fenwick might think the more respectable shoppers in W1 want to be faced with as they spend their way around Bond Street.
According to reports by The Evening Standard the conservative department store is 'concerned about the potentially provocative window displays and the type of shoppers it will attract.'
Victoria's Secret will open on the corner of New Bond Street and Brook Street in London's West End
Victoria's Secret will open on the corner of New Bond Street and Brook Street in London's West End
A spokesperson for the department store has since denied the claims saying: 'At Fenwick we welcome any retailer who brings a new customer to Bond Street.'
And The Bond Street Association confirmed that it had not received any complaints (although they did comment that they 'can understand that some might feel they want to object.').
U.S. brand Abercrombie & Fitch caused a similar stir when its behemoth of a store arrived on genteel Savile Row in 2007, and with it gangs of teenage customers desperate to get hold of the U.S. fashions, and  semi-dressed floor staff that
manned the doors.

Victoria's Secret declined to comment on the retail snobbery spat, but did refute Twitter rumours that the store is set to open this week.
It looks like Fenwick's customers will have to wait a little longer to be outraged.

Here come the angels: The brand's stable of supermodels are expected to fly in to London for the launch of the flagship store

Are the boys keeping you up... A tired Tara Reid touches down in Dublin with her best buds Jedward

They spent the last week partying in the South of France together, and yesterday they journeyed to Sweden for a show.
And now Tara Reid has touched down in Ireland with her main men Jedward as they tirelessly promote their new music.
But on arrival to Dublin Airport the unlikely threesome looked as though they were feeling the affects of the last seven days.

Yesterday it appeared that life on the road with Jedward wasn't without its hazards for Tara Reid.
The 36-year-old fell over on stage during an appearance at the Stockholm Pride Festival, and had to be helped up by one of the twins.
It was surprising that she lost her balance, considering that she was wearing a pair of neon trainers rather than more hazardous high heels.

David thanked his Twitter followers for their well wishes on his trip to the States and said: 'Thanks 4all ur lovely messages I'm sure me and the gorgeous @MissAmyChilds @marchatton and the lovely @Jadeelliott85 will have a great time!'

The couple are clearly smitten, and Amy tweeted recently: 'Such a lucky girl to have the best boyfriend @David_uk_Peters xxx'.
 
The couple first got together during a night out together in Liverpool in May following a flirty Twitter exchange.
According to one of Amy's friends, the reality TV star is 'so happy at the moment' and cannot 'wipe the smile off her face.'

And it seems that Amy cannot even compare to David to any of her past boyfriends, after describing him as a gentleman.
'I can't compare him to anyone,' she told new! 'We're really getting on. It's still early days, it's only been a month but I do really like him.'
