It looks like Rita Ora is looking up to her icon, Beyoncé, for hairstyle inspiration. 

The singer was seen performing at Radio 1’s Big Weekend in Glasgow yesterday and showed off her new colourful braids along with an impressive set of cornrows.

Rita rarely shies away from her blonde hair so it is refreshing to see her take a risk and change it.

What do you think of Rita’s new hair? Love it or hate it?

The opening up of the ‘Ex’-Files is the most common reason why couples argue!

If the thought of his ex really bugs you, so much so that it’s causing rows, here are a few reasons not to fret so much!

1. They ended it! They’re not star-crossed lovers like Romeo and Juliet. It just wasn’t meant to be. You are!

2. He doesn’t compare you to her. Do you always compare your current and ex-boyfriend? Of course you don’t!  Thinking of people like that is just a big fat waste of time.

3. He’s moved on. He’s with you now, and he’s loving it! Nobody is forcing him to be here.

4. She’s moved on. Hopefully! And if she’s still clinging onto him and stalking him on Facebook, then that’s just sad, and definitely not a threat to you!

5. He talks about her just enough to show that he’s not hiding anything from you, but not so much it makes you worry. There is a perfect amount to talk about an ex, and it’s that sweet spot right there.

6. He’s not hiding your relationship. If he calls you his girlfriend, and introduces you to his friends, then he’s proud to be yours. He certainly isn’t hiding you from his ex either, because he couldn’t care less what she knows!

7. You have intimate inside jokes and a language that’s just yours and his, and nobody else’s. OK, he might have had that with his ex too, but now he’s got a whole new set of pet names for you…babycakes.

8. If you keep worrying, it will turn you into an insecure bundle of crazy and he will realize there’s nothing he can say or do to make you feel safe. And that makes for an unhealthy relationship. Or a broken-up one.

9. Most ex-girlfriends are normal people who are not scamming to steal your man. She’s not a crazy bitch or a soap villain! Imagine your ex’s current girlfriend thinking that about you.

10. He doesn’t go nuts about your ex-boyfriend, because he knows he doesn’t have to. And you should trust him as much as he trusts you.

It looks like Sofia Vergara has been fixing her broken heart by hanging out with her family.

Sofia recently split from her fiancé, Nick Loeb.

The Modern Family actress has been on a trip to New Orleans with her son and niece this weekend and has shared many lovely photos of their trip.

However, when Sofia shared photos of her niece, we were struck by how similar they look!

Other people must have thought the same thing as Sofia captioned on image: “Taking my mini-me niece around NoLa.”

What a beautiful girl!

Let’s face it, there is a LOT of stuff you can do in college that just doesn’t happen in real life. Here are some examples of what we will miss most this summer:

1. Not being able to see your college friends every day. Sniff.
We live and breathe every minute with our college homies and adapting to spending time without them is one of the major downsides to summer.

2. Midday drinking
Now that you’re back home, it’s no longer possible to skip your 3 hour lab for a pint of Fosters in the student bar. Instead, the only alcohol you will consume during the day will be the Bailey’s cheesecake your Granny offers you during lunch.

3. Peaceful sleep-ins
Back in college, daily lie-ins were always a part of your morning routine. Sadly, you are now woken at 9am by your mother who sharply opens the curtains and lectures you on how “you should be outside enjoying the good weather while we have it!” Ugh.

4. Having an excuse not to work
Throughout the college year there’s always an assignment to be used as an excuse not to get a job. Now that you have three to four months sitting on your behind, you have no excuse to pass down a job offer from the local supermarket. For those of us who already had part-time work, prepare for a dramatic increase in ‘weekday’ work. Whoo.

5. Meeting new people
College offers brilliant opportunities to meet new and exciting people almost every day. At home however, you know everyone in your little town or village. A whole summer spent with the same people day everyday is bound to take its toll. Bring back the randomers!

6. Going out whatever night you feel like it
Whether you’re in Dublin or Cork, Limerick or Galway, any night can be a ‘going out’ night. To our misfortune, Monday Madness and three euro pints on a Thursday are unheard of concepts in our locals. Drinking on a weeknight at home offers a crowd of your father’s friends and a varied choice of Guinness or Heineken on tap. Monday Madness? We think not.

7. The classes you actually like
Although attending class wasn’t really your thing all semester, during the summer months we would happily sit in a class with the oddball lecturer who likes to reminisce about his weed smoking days on an escapade to Holland back in the 80’s. The entertaining stories kept your mind occupied.

8. The convenience of delivery food
In college, if you don’t feel like cooking, food was only a call away. Whether it’s Chinese or Indian, food is at your doorstep within the hour. However, if you live in the back arse of nowhere and you’re pretty sure that the sat-nav doesn’t even acknowledge where you live, scraping the bottom of the freezer for a microwave pizza is as good as it gets.

9. The Free Wi-Fi
Hey, not everywhere has free Wi-Fi, it’s a commodity in this world! Not the best connection at times but it still kept you constantly connected during those ‘morning after the night before’ scenarios when a tagged photo or two needed to be removed immediately.

10. Being able to live on a budget
In college it’s quite acceptable to live off literally zero cash. The summer months are an expensive time what with bikinis to be bought for sun holidays and interrailing tickets to be paid for. There’s grown -up style responsibilities on the horizon and it’s time to start saving. Sigh.

How Katie found out about the full blown sexual affair!

Her cheating husband Kieran told The Sun newspaper “In late September we arranged to meet for the first time in the car park of a country pub. I arrived in my Ford Focus after work and she arrived in her Ford Fiesta. I got in her car and we talked and kissed for about ten minutes … By the second meeting we were having oral sex. I was getting what I wanted and fed Jane what she wanted to hear.”

He also commented – “The routine was usually the same. I would get into the passenger seat of Jane’s car, she would jump on top of me and we would have sex. I didn’t wear a condom because it added to the risk.”

Model Abbey Clancy is in big trouble with lingerie boss Michelle Mone.

The Strictly Come Dancing winner clashed with Michelle after she posed in her underwear for brands Veet and Scholl.

As a result, Abbey was told she is no longer the face and body of Ultimo – the firm Michelle owns.

A spokesperson said, “Each party have decided to terminate the contract due to creative differences.”

Abbey first became an ambassador for the brand in December 2013, when she replaced Michael Buble’s wife Luisana Lopilato.

Her latest campaign was only released a few weeks ago.

It is a real change of tune for the founder of Ultimo Michelle, who recently sang Abbey’s praises for her work on the latest campaign.

“Abbey looks gorgeous in the new Ultimo designs, which are perfect for injection some colour into your lingerie drawer this summer,” she said.

Abbey is the latest in a long line of celebrities to have appeared in Ultimo campaigns, with Mel B, Penny Lancaster and Rachel Hunter, coming before her.

Eek, we’re not convinced Miley is going to like this too much!

Tyra Banks uploaded an image of Miley’s face photoshopped onto a turkey with the words “Who’s ready for Twerky?”

It’s far from a flattering shout-out for the singer and given what happened with Jennifer Lawrence last week, we’re not sure Miley will take this too well.

The supermodel then captioned the photo: “Dinner time.”

Miley had appeared on Tyra Banks’ TV show long before her twerking days and may see this latest mocking as a serious diss from an old friend.

Do you think Tyra’s Instagram photo was just a harmless joke or a bit mean?

Seriously, what is it about alcohol that makes us crave a Big Mac or giant bowl of salty chips as soon as we have taken a sip! It does nothing for our healthy eating – excluding the drink of course!

Here are three ways to make you stop craving those extra calories:

Have a good meal before you go out
We’re talking a proper, hearty dinner, potatoes and all. Not only will it soak up the alcohol, it will also fill you up enough to not crave that chipper after.

Drink plenty of water
We definitely promote sensible drinking here at HQ! Not only will water help you to keep your senses, it also helps to prevent dehydration caused by the alcohol which causes you to think you’re hungry.

Leave early
Simply drinking less than you normally would will help keep those cravings away. And leaving early is not nerdy… we promise!

Queuing for the bathroom on a Saturday night around the country’s nightclubs can be a soul-destroying time for every girl. You can’t help thinking of all the fun you are missing out on back at the bar and you curse that Tequila Sunrise. Everyone knows OJ is a diuretic – how could you be so stupid!

So now, as you stand in the line of 30 other girls, fighting over the mirror and skipping the queue, you start to take it all in. Here are some things you are likely to hear:

1. “OMG look at the bloody queue!”
On entering the toilet you realise that you’re going to be there for a while.

2. “Sure feck it, we might as well have a Chupa Chups while we’re waiting”.

4. “Where is my phone – have you seen my phone?”
This girl only realises she’s lost her iPhone as soon as she gets into the bathroom . “Try ringing it” is literally the stupidest thing you can say at this point.

giphy5. “Can I borrow your foundation? Does anyone have any make up?”
Drunk girls can’t match their shade properly… ‘Sure you’ve got the same skin type of me’ No sweetie, no she doesn’t.

10. “Where is Lucy? LUCY ?!?” *Frantically knocks on every door in the club*
Ah, what’s a night out without a 50 minute search for a friend who’s probably getting with someone in a random corner of the club.

Selena Gomez is currently in Nepal as a UN ambassador, but it seems that isn’t the only reason for the trip.

While in Nepal, Selena was interviewed by Bisnu Sharma, a well-known journalist in the country.

Sharma then took to his Twitter account and quoted Selena’s words during the interview, which seem to reveal why she needed a break from the US, “I am in Nepal for to escape American media. I wanted to mental peace.”

Fans of Selena will have noticed that there seems to be a hint of sadness in her Instagram posts of late.

She recently uploaded a bikini selfie along with the words: “Taking my power back.”

Hopefully Selena can find the peace she needs in Nepal, it can’t be easy dealing with all of that boyfriend drama on such a public scale!
