We previously talked about our love for that amazing infographic of every Oscar’s Best Actress gown since 1929.

And now to celebrate the style of the Cannes Film Festival, another infographic has been created to highlight the most iconic dresses at the film festival from 1953 to 2013.

We love seeing how much style has changed over the decades, and especially the different actresses who have made the list throughout the years, too.

We predict that the gorgeous Blake Lively will definitely be the iconic Cannes dress of 2014, due to her rocking the red carpet in that amazing Chanel Couture dress.

Heidi Klum has jumped to Justin Bieber’s defence after he was accused of groping her at Cannes.

The supermodel spoke out about the claims involving the Baby singer – who was photographed alongside Heidi at the amfAR Gala in a snap that appeared to capture the singer touching her chest.

Heidi insisted Justin was NOT feeling her up, adding that he was in fact, a “very polite” young man.

“He was totally not touching me, by the way,” said Heidi. “It maybe looks like that because sometimes in pictures things look a little . . . I’m like, what are they talking about?”

“He’s very polite and very nice,” Heidi said of the Boyfriend singer.

Well, that’s us told!

While we all love the sweet and salty taste of peanut butter, it’s not exactly the healthiest treat out there. Thankfully, there are some healthier and just as delicious nut butters that can easily be used as an alternative.

Almond Butter
Almond butter is probably the most popular nut butter alternative. This is mostly due to the similar taste to peanut butter and of course, being healthier.

Walnut Butter
Doesn’t look as appetising as its counterparts, but it’s still a delicious spread that can be used for various lunchtime snacks.

Hazelnut butter
Basically the healthier version of Nutella. Yes, there may be no chocolate, but it’s still sweet and of course a lot healthier too.

Cashew Butter
Sweet, addictive and can be the perfect mid-morning snack.

Macadamia Nut Butter
More ideal for desserts and can be great as side dip for fruits. Mmm…delicious.

Brazil Nut Butter
Salty and crunchy, but still a perfect spread for that lunchtime treat.

Pecan Butter
Very sweet and even more delicious when spread over a slice of homemade brown bread.

Sunflower Seed Butter
This is technically not a nut, but in reality, neither is the Brazil Nut! However, sunflower seed butter is still probably the mostly healthy spread on this list. Not only is it low in calories, but it’s perfect for those who have an allergy to nuts and is delicious too.

It’s often difficult to find that ideal living situation and even harder to find that ideal housemate. But when you do, the two of you just know that you are both going to be housemates forever:

Know each other delivery orders
You know each other’s orders off by heart. More importantly, you know when you desperately need to hear that phrase “fancy a Chinese?” Because it is literally what you’ve been thinking about all day.

Her family is your family
And vice versa. Whenever you’re on the phone to your mum, she always asks about your housemate and your housemate’s mum always thinks to send up some extra treats for you to have as well.

You have a routine
If she has a fella around, you know it’s a good idea to spend the rest of the evening in your room. But you don’t mind, because you know she would probably do the same for you.

Know too much
You both know way too much about each other. Seriously – way too much.

Best nights in/out
Whether it’s staying in or going out altogether, you two always have the best nights.

This has to be the best selfie of One Direction’s Croke Park concert – if not the world!

Niall Horan took to Twitter to share a snap of himself posing with some of the band’s biggest fans in the shape of Irish rugby hunks Cian Healy, Brian O’Driscoll and Jamie Heaslip.

Niall posted the photo on Twitter with the message, “Had these legends at the show last night! Brian o’driscoll , @ProperChurch @jamieheaslip !the best selfie I’ve taken ever ! #kings”.

Cian Healy also shared his own snap of the lads on Twitter, and cheekily implied that Niall could take a leaf out of their book when it came to keeping in very….very good shape.

“We need to teach @niallhoran how to squat!!” he wrote, referring to himself and his rugby pals as “#ClosetDirectioners”!

We wouldn’t mind watching that workout!

Extensions are great if you have thin hair or just can’t seem to grow it longer than your shoulder – seriously, what is with that?!

However, there are a few things you need to know before you invest (a lot) of money into your hair.

Fine hair? Avoid glue-ins
If you have fine hair, you need to avoid glue-in hair extensions. The glue can actually be thicker than your hair making it harder to remove – eek, sounds painful!

Getting used to it
It will take a bit of getting used to, and not like the getting-used-to-a-new-cut kind of used to. Styling will be awkward for a while but it will get easier – we promise.

Don’t just go to anyone
Seriously, when it comes to your hair, professionalism goes a long, long way! Don’t just pop into any ole hairdressers – you want to be sure they’ve done this before, even if it means paying a little more.

Taking care of them
If you have synthetic extensions avoid using any hot styling tools. If you want to continue to rock GHD curls or have poker straight hair, you may want to consider going for human hair. You also can’t wash synthetic ones like you would normal hair.

Khloé Kardashian has posted mugshots of herself and Scott Disick looking like something off America’s Most Wanted on Instagram to celebrate his 31st birthday.

She captioned the snap, “Happy birthday to my partner in crime @letthelordbewithyou I love you LD!!”

Not yet ‘Lord Disick’ back then, Scott was only 18 when he pleaded guilty to a non-criminal charge of driving while under the influence of alcohol.

Khloé was arrested for DUI in March 2007 and was sentenced to three years’ probation.

She later admitted to violating that probation by failing to sign up for alcohol-education class in a timely manner and ended up spending about three hours in jail after being sentenced to a possible 30 days.

“What I could have done is just unthinkable,” Khloé  said on The Tyra Banks Show in 2008. “I will never, ever do that again.”

While the birthday message could be seen as a bit of harmless fun, some fans have deemed it ‘totes inappropes!’

One person tweeted, “This is just totes inappropes! She wasn’t laughing at the time, but now it’s funny?!”

Kourtney Kardashian is said to pretty annoyed at the snap too, as she’d rather just forget Scott’s bad boy past which has caused a lot of rows between the couple since they met.

Uh-oh.

If you’re like most girls on earth, you have a hate-hate relationship with PMS.

Mood swings, bloating, uncontrollable food cravings – they really kick our ass every month don’t they!

But before you raid the medicine cabinet, here are a few alternative remedies to help ease your monthly woes.

Supplements
A recent study showed that vitamin E and fatty acids are amazing for easing those PMS mood swings, sore breasts, cramps, headaches and bad skin.  A daily multivitamin should supply you with the Vitamin E you need, and you can pop a daily fish-oil capsule to get your fatty acids.

Acupuncture
Research shows acupuncture is ace at treating PMS cramps, insomnia, headaches and nausea. Most women are said to experience PMS relief within 24 hours after a session, so depending on your reaction, you might want to get treated once a month in the week before your period.

Herbs
New studies have shown thyme to be pretty effective in easing PMS woes.  Evening primrose may help alleviate anxiety and cramps, while valerian root, an ingredient in many teas, can ease bloated tummies.

Sweating and stretching
Mild forms of exercise can ease several PMS symptoms, including cramps and headaches. Working out not only releases pain-busting endorphins but also triggers dopamine (your natural source of pleasure and satisfaction) and serotonin (a depression and anxiety fighter). And doing hip and back stretches can increase blood flow to contracted uterine, abdominal, and lower-back muscles, easing the tension that leads to cramps.

Solange Knowles will probably be more known lately for fighting with her brother-in-law Jay-Z, rather than her own music.

But it’s not all bad for Solange, as it’s been revealed that her recent record sales have soared as a result of the controversy.

Apparently her record sales have increased over 233% and according to Nielson SoundScan the same week in which that CCTV footage was released, digital sales for her single Sandcastle Disco were up 600 from the previous week.

Well, we’re not really surprised given all the publicity she’s got recently but we doubt Solange sees this as a good thing.

Thought cruises were just for old people? Well, it’s time to think again! Here are our six best reasons why we are considering a cruise for our next holiday!

You only have to unpack once
Seriously, unpacking and repacking has got to be the most annoy thing about travelling.

You will always have a view of the sea
People on land pay top dollar for this

The amount of places you’ll see
You will experience more cities in a week then you would travelling around by plane.

Money
You don’t have to worry about carrying around a load of money – most things, including food,  are paid for before you even get on the ship.

Meet other people
We admit this can be done on any holiday, but this way you won’t lose them as they move on to other places – you’re all stuck together until you go to land.

Comfy bed
The best thing about a cruise is the fact that while you are travelling you have a comfy bed to lie down on – you won’t get this on an aeroplane!

The activities
Depending on which cruise you pick, there can be so many activities on board that you won’t have to leave.

Singer, Ed Sheeran has revealed that he is planning on converting a former police station in his hometown of Framlingham, Suffolk into a youth centre.

According to sources, the 23-year-old singer has invested £1.6 million into the construction project.

Ed Sheeran spoke of his excitement for the youth centre recently and said he discovered his own love of music at his local youth centre before it got sold on.

”I’m really excited about the project. I had a youth club from when I was 12 when I grew up which did a battle of the bands every week and that’s where I and other bands started playing. Then the land the club was on was sold… and I just went off to London and did shows instead. Now there’s no youth club and nothing to do so it’s a bad situation.”

But Sheeran also admitted that the youth club will factor into his future retirement plans.

“The plan when I get older is to end up running that (the youth club) – so I have pretty much planned my retirement.”

Awww that’s sweet Ed, but we don’t think you will be retiring for a long time yet.

Niall Horan has certainly won our hearts after his brief stay in Ireland this week.

First it was the formation of the ultimate bromance with the great Brian O’Driscoll, than he gave the ultimate shout-out to his hometown Mullingar, during Saturday night’s performance.

But Niall proved what a complete gent he really is, by making one six-year-old’s dreams come true yesterday.

Ahead of his Sunday show in Croke Park, Niall met with Leah Hession and signed some of her One Direction items.

Leah’s mum, Lorraine said that she and her daughter were taken completely by surprise by Niall’s appearance.

“I didn’t know about it. We were in the room a few minutes and then Niall walked in. He was on his own and didn’t have security or an entourage. He must have spent five minutes with us and he 100 per cent made the effort with Leah.”

Leah is battling a rare form of kidney cancer and Lorraine’s mum revealed that the whole encounter felt like a dream to her daughter.

“He was so kind and generous and hugged her and signed all of her memorabilia. Leah keeps asking was it a dream. This has given us precious memories that will be with us forever.”

Niall went on Twitter today to thank his fans “for an incredible weekend”.
