We all make mistakes in the kitchen and many of our planned dishes never turn out exactly as planned. But one person decided to make fun of the many culinary disasters across the globe, with a Tumblr account called SomeoneAteThis. Here are just some of the most funny food photos that have appeared on the hilarious account:

More bread?

This user felt bread could slightly improve this scenario, we’re not so sure.

Fancy a Fry-up?

Probably not after seeing this, the user captioned their attempt of a morning fry-up: “Is this a still from an autopsy demonstration video on VHS or breakfast? We will never know.” Well at least they saw the funny side, not sure if they’ll be digging in though.

Cat Food

Definitely not the most appealing dish but it probably tasted delicious…

Eggs?

This is just gross, no way around it.

Glunk?

Not a real dish but not sure how else to describe this attempt at a dessert.

Ready Meals Gone Wrong

We’re not even sure what this is.

Slime?

This actually looks like radioactive waste.

Pizza?

They might have over done it on the cheese.

We really are gutted for Kasey and Can-Linn.

Last night’s Eurovision semi-final featured Austria’s drag artist Conchita Wurst and promised to match the drama of Tuesday night’s Ukraine-Russia tension.

There were the usual crazy acts, bizarre performances and cringe-worthy songs that also featured in the first semi-final, but Irish viewers were more invested in this show as our own was to take to the stage.

While Kasey gave it her all, Ireland’s performance faded into a medley of very similar songs and performances, so it wasn’t all that surprising we didn’t make the final cut.

After the results were announced, the singer said: “We were delighted we got to represent our country on a world stage,” Smith said after the results were announced. “Being in the final would have been a bonus but you can just never predict how these things are going to go. We put our heart and soul into it and gave it our all. It’s given me a real taste for being on the stage and as far as I’m concerned, this is only the beginning for me. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience.”

The ten countries to make it through to Saturday’s final are Switzerland, Norway, Greece, Slovenia, Poland, Romania, Malta, Belarus, Austria and  Finland.

We wonder if Katy will respond to Gaga’s not-so-subtle dig at her artistic integrity.

The enigma that is Lady Gaga took to her Twitter account yesterday to call Katy out for copying her: “It looks like green hair and mechanical horses are the thing now.”

While the ARTPOP creator never mentioned Katy’s name, there’s no denying who the tweet was aimed at.

LadyGaGaKatyTweet

Another Twitter user recently tweeted the comparison between the two pop starlettes after seeing Katy’s Prismatic concert:

While there definitely are similarities, Lady Gaga goes through so many looks and concepts that it’s almost impossible for musicians to try something new that she hasn’t dabbled in at some stage.

But what do you think? Is Katy a kopy-kat or is it pure coincidence?

Relationships are far from easy and can go through various rough patches, but despite our best efforts, there are some rough patches we simply can’t get through.

You don’t fight anymore
Sure that sounds great initially, but you know deep down inside that neither you or your partner are really trying anymore. Sometimes couples need to fight with each other over the important things because when you’ve both stopped doing that, you’ve really both stopped fighting for your relationship.

Nothing works
You’ve been working on your problems for a while but sometimes its time to face the reality that despite your best efforts, it’s just not working.

Doomed relationship
Some relationships are just doomed from the start. You may have gotten together for completely the wrong reasons and some couples stay together out of fear of being alone. But you have to ask yourselves, what is really better in the long run? Being miserable in a relationship that is never going to work or the possibility of finding someone who could truly make you happy?

Different values
The more you got to know each other, the more you began to realise that two of you actually don’t fit. Sure you’re both attracted to each other but there are some things you can’t ignore and values are one of them.

Don’t worry – it can’t be that serious if she’s posting snaps to Instagram!

The singer was admitted to hospital yesterday after she began projectile vomiting due to suspected food poisoning.

Uploading a picture of herself hooked up to a drip, Lily assured fans she was ok: “#SHEEzUS in #SHOSPITAL . I’m fine though guys, just need some fluids cause i can’t keep anything down.#dramz.”

It looks like she’s being spoiled as she also posted a picture of gifts sent in by friends and family, so there does seem to be a silver lining.

Get well soon, Lily!

Neon colours can be a little tricky to pull off, but it looks like they here to stay. If you aren’t brave enough to go full on neon, why not add a pop of it on your nails for an on-trend style.

Neon is perfect for toes or fingernails to compliment your style and Jessica Awesome Neon nail kit will help you incorporate fabulous, fluorescent hues into your life.

The kit includes three fun shades: candy coloured Purple Burst, sherbet hued Pink Explosion and sunset-inspired Orange Zest.  It also contains Reward – an ultra-nourishing vitamin enriched therapy that contains Vitamin A, C and E and natural botanicals – to give your nails a little TLC.

A top coat of Brilliance, also in the kit, will help you get the most out of your neon polish coat. It is a fast drying top coat that leaves a glossy shine and helps to prevent yellowing, chipping and smudging.

Start your manicure by painting one coat of Reward base coat, paint with two coats of your chosen colour and finish with a high shine coat of Brilliance.

Following in the footsteps of Julia Roberts and Madonna, Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting has posted a picture of her excessive body hair.

It’s not what you think though – she was just sharing a picture of the beauty team prepping her for a scene on her hit TV show.

Kaley is being covered in body hair for a scene on The Big Bang Theory where Penney ends up involved in a low-budget movie, Serial Ape-ist.

It’s so surreal to see the actress covered in hair while wearing a hot pink top and hair rollers.

Can’t wait to see this episode!

When Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow announced their decision to consciously uncouple, there were whispers about the real reason for it.

Gwyn was almost immediately accused of cheating with Donovan Leitch because of a picture of the pair greeting each other at a baseball game.

We weren’t convinced – and we were definitely more interested in the less gossiped story regarding Chris and Alexa Chung.

The two had reportedly gotten close, sharing a love for obscure music and London, and were even spotted having late night milkshakes last summer.

This week a tweet appeared from a diner who spotted the pair having a cosy dinner together at a New York restaurant.

So were the gossip columnists right? Was Chung the spark for the Martin-Paltrow divorce?

Watch this space.

Feeling overwhelmed, can often leave you with feelings of panic.  However, a couple of breathing exercises can help you to feel a whole lot better.

Take 10 breaths
If you are starting to feel overwhelmed try to take ten breaths. In through your nose and out through your mouth, counting to ten for each one.

Slow deep breaths
If the 10 deep breaths didn’t work, try to get more oxygen into your body by taking slow, deep breaths. Concentrate on keeping your breathing slow and steady, until you feel a lot more relaxed.

Connect with your body
People who feel a panic attack coming on, would do well to place one hand on their chest and another on their stomach. You can feel your breathing which will help you connect with your body and distract yourself.

Hold your nose
Simply take a breath, close your nostrils with your fingers, hold for about 4 seconds and release.

4 second breaths
Inhale and hold for four seconds, then exhale for another four. Concentrating on you counting is great for distracting you from what is happening around you.

Everyone everywhere is talking about British model, Cara Delevingne and you would think at this stage, her name would be easy to say by now.

But that doesn’t seem to be the case with Reese Witherspoon, Kate Upton and Zooey Deschanel who struggled to pronounce Cara’s surname last Sunday.

The actresses and model were caught a little worse for wear in a lift at the Met Ball. Reese was definitely the funniest out of the bunch as she slurred her way through pronouncing Cara’s name and in the end gave up by yelling  “can’t say Cara’s f**king name”.

After watching this video, we’re convinced more than ever that these girls would be great to hang around with on a night out.

There is something about travelling alone that will really help you see the world in a different light. However, before you pack a bag for one it’s important you know the basic safety rules, how to meet other people just like you and the best places for going it alone.

Safety tips
When travelling alone, it is important you stick to basic safety rules: never go out at night alone, always know the way back to your hotel, never get drunk and make sure you stick to the dress code of the country you are visiting.

How to meet like minded people
Sometimes travelling alone can get lonely so try to meet up with like minded travellers who don’t mind you tagging along. Staying in hostels are a great way to make new friends and make sure you strike up a conversation with others on the plane or train journey.

Where to go
You can go anywhere you please! Going it alone means the destination, length of time travelling and what to do is up to you. However, if you are having trouble deciding, Europe, South East Asia or Australia could be good spots to head to -you are bound to bump into at least one Irish traveller.

Elizabeth Banks could be heading to court soon, as she’s been accused of ripping off the script for her latest film, Walk of Shame.

Dan Ronsen is suing the actress, as he’s claiming he previously pitched the idea for a movie called Darci’s Walk of Shame to Elizabeth Banks and her producer husband, Max Handleman in 2007.

Ronsen said he gave his script to the couple and never heard from them again.  Dan said that there are too many similarities between his film and Bank’s Walk of Shame to be coincidental. Oh dear!

Ronsen plans to sue Elizabeth $500,000 for the script and he also wants all of the profits from Walk of Shame too.
