Who knows the dirty little secrets of celebrities better than the (lucky/unlucky) people who are permanently glued to their sides? Their other halves? Their family members? Their dearest friends?

We already come to terms with the fact that we’re probably going to pile on half a stone and be declared bankrupt by the time New Years Day comes around… but at least we have the memories to…

What follows typically involves: a lot of alcohol, emotional breakdowns, fights, love squabbles and eventually the best part – …

Forever expecting our growth spurt to hit us at any given minute – us shorties face a multitude of different problems, all because were drew the short straw (quite literally).

Halloween has been and gone and I for one, did not gather up my courage and visit the most haunted places around the UK (like some of you daredevils out there). If I wanted to experience horror…well, we have all sorts of things for that right? Films, tv shows, nightmares, nearby church bells ringing at ungodly hours of the night and creepy kids knocking on our doors demanding sweet treats… But, understandably, not everyone likes staying inside with knees tucked up to their chins under blankets, desperately making sure toes aren’t sticking out in case the demons get us… For…

So we keep going until all we can hear is ringing and all we can see is the bottom of a toilet bowl… Next thing, the deed is done and the sun is peeking through the curtains.

Clear your diaries because it starts on Sunday…
Morbid curiosity is the perfect term to describe our fascination with doppelgängers. – The word itself is German, meaning “double walker” or “double goer” and traditional stories equate doppelgängers to evil twins. Sometimes doppelgängers are portrayed as ghosts and bringers of bad luck but, personally, having a look-a-like has its positives too! For example, send one off to replace you at work when you just can’t be bothered to go in. Especially on dreaded Mondays! It’d save you some sick days too!

Trust me – women think A LOT of things about men. They’re infuriating, annoying, amazing, shocking and sometimes just beyond all belief. Most of the time you just stare at them trying to figure out if you want to hug them or strangle them! It’s normally a pretty close call… Meanwhile, men are in their own little bubble, bobbing along without a care in the world and largely unaware of our inner turmoil. They think the inside of a woman’s brain is a complicated place. Filled with mystery and double meanings, never quite saying what we’re actually thinking… Well, here’s…

”It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.” -Marcus Aurelius For the most part, Hollywood icons manage to live full and luxurious lives -with the exception of some drama of course. But sometimes, things can go horribly wrong and over the years, we have watched as some of our most treasured stars be cruelly plucked from life in the strangest of ways.

Living in the city is never boring: there’s always something to do! Shopping, cinema, coffee, nights out, meeting with friends, and maybe the occasional spot of sightseeing. It’s safe to say towns and cities have a lot more going on than a small village in the middle of nowhere! But all this must come at a cost (doesn’t everything!) Along with all these attractions comes people, and with the people comes cars, litter and general waste. Whether it’s in the air, on the street, or even in our homes – our towns are filled with dirt. But who are the…

A character with absolute sass? Check. A sensational make over? Check. A sexy Prince Charming played by Richard Gere? Check. WHAT MORE COULD YOU POSSIBLY WANT IN A FILM? Yes it’s the one and only Pretty Womaaan, walking down the street, pretty womaan… And when straight-talking prostitute Vivian is hired by wealthy businessman Edward, it’s basically a Cinderella story waiting to happen. But, did you know that the fairytale ending – where they rescue each other – was originally a MUCH darker ending? Or that Julia Roberts was far from first choice to play the leading actress? We’ve all seen this nineties…

The time: a scorching hot summer’s day in May 2018. The place: my living room. Me: clutching a tear stained tissue, sniffling, and marvelling at how wrong I was when I shrugged and said “Oh, I’m not that fussed about the royal wedding” just a few days beforehand. How very, very wrong. I really thought I didn’t care, and yet there I was, glued to the screen, unsuccessfully choking back tears as Meghan walked down the aisle to Handel’s ‘Eternal Source of Light Divine’ like the goddamn goddess she is. It’s easy to be jealous of Meghan- successful actress, certified…
We all know the drill for watching a horror movie…You sit down, get the popcorn at the ready, a huge blanket (to keep warm) and prepare to be scared and terrified – with that blanket ready to be used as a shield if needs be. It all starts off ok, but by the end you come to the realisation that you are not going to sleep for the next year…and the bedroom lights will be firmly left on for the foreseeable. And yes, shadows and noises at night make you jump more than they should, but you just reassure yourself,…

Alcohol is everywhere we look: in the shops, on tv, in pubs, bars, clubs and probably (definitely) in our homes as well! (Who doesn’t have that emergency stash of gin for the cold winter nights when you cannot fathom the thought of leaving your home/pyjamas/dog). And inevitably, the media is constantly on our backs, selfishly revealing how many units we should consume per day and the devastating impacts should we go over the Government’s recommendation. Guilty! Whether it’s students downing Jäegerbombs, professionals enjoying a glass of Merlot after a stressful day at work or simply having a pint down the…
Every year Autumn rolls around: the clocks go back, the evenings draw in as auburn leaves skitter across the frosty ground, and there’s a creeping sense that something is missing from our TV lives… We’ve fallen in love at the villa and shimmied our way through the first half of Strictly season, braved the boardroom and watched Simon Cowell take down wobbly vocalists – like a lion let loose in the gazelle enclosure. You’d think our every entertainment wish and whim would be catered for – and yet, there’s something missing. There just aren’t enough…gigantic terrifying insects. Luckily without fail…
The reality TV series that sees 12 celebrities live together – and compete to be crowned King or Queen of the Australian jungle – is always a TV highlight of the year. Despite the fact that we recently heard Ant will not be presenting the show for the first time (he’s still in recovery until 2019), I’m sure it will still be great with Dec: albeit very different. Fortunately, it has been announced that Holly Willoughby will be filling his spot… We can all get extremely excited because the start date has also been released. Clear your diaries because it starts on Sunday…
You might be packing your bags and crossing state lines after reading this: consider this your pre-warning… If where you live is near the bottom of the list, congrats you sexy little thing, you. If where you live is near the top… well… it’s what’s on the inside that counts. Right? Well, the brains behind the dating app, Clover, believe that the key to a successful relationship is actually “mutual attractiveness”, so – naturally – they decided to create a system which can determine just how attractive a person is. Like, actually scientifically. The clogs ticked away, chewing around with…
So we know that the US is home to some of the biggest take-away joints on earth – not to mention the fact that a single slice of pizza can be as big as your head! Mmm…pizza…. FOCUS! It’s no secret that the convenience of fast food has become a catalyst for the obesity crisis currently sweeping across America. Therefore, it is unsurprising that 13% of the world’s population of obese adults are based in America alone. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than one-third of US adults are overweight and unhealthy! Let’s face it, those…

“My chances of being PM are about as good as the chances of finding Elvis on Mars, or my being reincarnated as an olive.” You might love him, you might hate him…but there’s no denying that our Boris – the ex-foreign secretary – makes for good entertainment. If he’s not attempting to over topple Teresa May, he’s usually busy making a complete t*t of himself and our beloved country…you’ve got to laugh, to avoid the alternative: inevitable wailing. The blonde-haired buffoon’s been the butt of a lot of jokes over the years, but how well do we really know ‘BoJo’?…
