Victoria Beckham turned down Kim Kardashian’s request to design her wedding dress – for fear it would cheapen her brand!

The 40-year-old fashion designer was reportedly approached earlier this year about creating a gown for the reality TV star’s big day, but asked her team to tell Kim she was too busy.

But insiders have said VB refused the offer because she was concerned about ‘devaluing’ her brand!

Kim was said to be desperate to wear a VB dress for her nuptial with Kanye West, but Victoria – who works with the very A-list of the showbiz world, including royals – apparently didn’t want to be dragged into the world of reality stars.

They don’t call her ‘Posh Spice’ for nothing!

Kimye have been teasing us for weeks now about the details of their big day.

The couple are apparently set to marry in a secret ceremony in the coming days, and the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star was seen boarding a flight to France earlier this week.

They were rumoured to be having a lavish wedding extravaganza in Paris, but it’s also been claimed they are going to break with expectations by holding a highly secretive ceremony  instead.

Kim and Kanye are so intent on keeping their wedding private that they have secured a ‘confidential’ marriage license so no one officially knows what the heck is going on!

BMI – or Body Mass Index – has been the go-to method of measuring what kind of shape we’re in for years now

It works by dividing your weight in kilograms by your height in metres squared – simples.

But now, many scientists are calling for another means of testing because BMI doesn’t take body fat into account.

Muscle is heavier than fat, and so the index has come under fire recently, because some athletes might be considered ‘obese’ when their BMI is taken.

And then there’s the ‘skinny fat’ person, who has little muscle mass but might have a layer of fat around their middle – which is thought to contribute to heart disease and Type 2 diabetes.

Doctors are said to be adopting a new system called the ‘Body Shape Index’ – which takes in your waist measurements too.

The BSI is more about your body’s fat content than your weight.

Another method being tested out is the Body Adiposity Index (BAI), which divides your height by your hip circumference to calculate body fat percentage.

Can we not just judge it by what jeans still fit us?

The song that has given Pharrell Williams international success and a Oscar nomination was actually not supposed to be for Pharrell in the first place.

Pharrell revealed in a recent interview, that Cee Lo Green originally wanted to record Happy and sounded amazing on it to.

“He sounded amazing on it, he burns my version! But … how do I say this diplomatically? The powers that be, at the time, did not see it fit for him.”

But Pharrell has insisted that Cee Lo has handled Happy’s success graciously.

“It’s not his fault — he was totally down with it … He was one of the most gracious people about it when it came out.”

Travelling helps to broaden the mind, experience new cultures and meet new people. It’s not all serious and educational though – these places will give you a right good giggle every time you pass their town name…

Boring, Oregon
Apparently, Boring’s slogan is ‘The most exciting place to live.’ Eh, really?

Yolo County, California
Why not head to Yolo, sure You Only Live Once.

Dildo, Canada
Imagine the conversation with your boss, ‘So, where are you from?’ ‘Dildo’
*Cue awkward silence…*

Shades of Death Road Road, New Jersey
Apparently, a lot of accidents happen on this road – maybe we’ll do a detour around this road.

Emo, Co. Laois
Whoever said Laois wasn’t an emotional place to visit had obviously never been to this town.

Lake Disappointment, Australia
Oh dear! Maybe we’ll give this one a miss, it sounds like we’ll just be disappointed…

Sandy Balls, Hampshire
Yes, you did read that right.

Glee star, Lea Michele has spoken out about Cory Monteith’s death in her new book, Brunette Ambition.

It’s been almost a year since Cory was found dead in his hotel room, as a result of a heroin overdose.

Lea, who plays Rachel on the hit show, spoke of how her character has been grieving for Finn and about keeping Rachel’s famous Finn necklace as tribute to both Finn and Cory.

“I’ll always keep Rachel’s ‘Finn’ necklace from Glee.

Much like Rachel, Lea also keeps a necklace of “Cory” around her neck.

The Jenner and Gomez feud may have died down for now as Selena apparently said “she has nothing but love” for the Jenner girls.

But what caused the rift in the first place? Well apparently, Selena mostly blames Kylie and Kendall, for her relationship breakdown with Justin Bieber.

Sources say Gomez gave Justin “one last chance” but she had enough when she saw saucy snaps of Kylie Jenner on Justin Bieber’s phone.

To make matters worse, Justin apparently cheated on Selena with a lot more girls.

“She saw stuff on his phone that proved he was lying to her and he’s been hooking-up with other girls the whole time, there was no way he could talk his way out of it. They had another huge fight and she says that she’ll never go back.”

It seems Justin might feel the same, as he recently unfollowed Selena on Instagram.

Let’s hope that Selena makes up with Kylie and Kendall soon and forgets about Justin, for good.

Remember the late nights, the parties and well, all of the laughs you had as a student.

DCU’s Media Production Society has managed to recreate all of those moments with a hilarious video of what it’s really like to be a student in Ireland.

We probably relate to far too many of these, especially the cooking disasters.

Could Damon be killed off The Vampire Diaries?

The answer is yes, if Ian Somerhalder has anything to do with it!

The actor was speaking to E! when he said: “When Damon dies, it is the dopest episode.”

Wait, what? Dies?!

Damon continued on to say that the ending is going to be pretty intense: “The ending, I think, is really going to throw people. It definitely involves Damon in a really cool way. There is some very cool stuff with Damon, Elena, Bonnie … stuff you just didn’t see … It is definitely a cliffhanger.”

We just really, really hope he was joking about that dying part…

For a lot of ladies, caring for your hair is a significant part of your beauty regime, and no doubt you listen to every single hair myth that’s going! Here’s the truth behind those myths:

1. Myth: Pulling out a grey hair makes more grow

Truth: When plucked, your hair can only reproduce one strand whether it’s grey or not. The worst thing that will happen is that you will get a bald patch, hat is definitely worse than a grey hair.

2. Myth: Cold water makes your hair shiny

Truth: Unfortunately, this one is false.

3. Myth: Unwashed hair is great for styling

Truth: Freshly washed hair can make your style go flat so wash the day before.

4. Myth: your hair grows faster if you get it trimmed frequently

Truth: This is not true but it will get rid of those split ends.

5. Myth: You must repeat the shampoo use

Truth: Unless you hair needs two lots of shampoo, one thorough clean will do.

6. Myth: Oily scalps should skip the conditioner

Truth: It helps keep it healthy and strong, just avoid the root area.

7. Myth: Your hair needs 100 brush stokes daily

Truth: It could actually weaken your hair.

8.  Myth: you’ll get sick if you go out with wet hair

Truth: You won’t, well only if you don’t stand beside someone who’s sick – then you will.

9. Myth: Lemon juice lightens your hair

Truth: This is true, yay!

10. Myth: You shouldn’t wash your hair everyday

Truth: This one is actually true. Washing your hair every day will strip it of its natural oils making it dry. Wash when your hair is dirty, or when you can’t get away with a spritz of dry shampoo…

It’s not everyday One Direction photobomb your holiday snaps!

Harry Styles and Liam Payne had an adventurous day as they hiked the stunning Inca ruins on Matchu Picchu in Peru, when they found themselves in the background of a couple’s photo.

In true cheeky chap form, Harry stuck out his tongue while Liam pulled a somewhat shocked face.

We’re pretty jealous – imagine One D photobombing us in Lanzarote!
