The 15 stages of living all by yourself
When you live alone, every day is a filthy gift and the only person there to unwrap it is you. You can lounge in your tracksuit bottoms and sit around eating popcorn off of your stomach all day and no one can tell you it’s ‘gross’ or ‘sad’. But with great power, comes great responsibility and sometimes living alone can turn you into an anti-social minger with no regard for anyone but yourself. In some ways it’s the perfect life.
1. At first you might have a hard time adjusting to your newfound freedom.
2. But then you realise that this means you can literally do whatever the hell you want. Always.
3. No More Clothes…
4. You can eat all the food!
5. And drink all the booze…
6. You dance like no one is watching. Because no one is.
7. Hygiene is no longer of concern to you.
8. You can listen to whatever the hell you want all day and no one can say a thing.
9. You find that you really don’t have the patience to deal with other people anymore.
10. And you become irrationally protective about your abode
11. Soon you find yourself doing barely nothing
12. And start drinking out of bowls like an animal.
13. Eventually you find yourself craving human interaction
14. But socialising doesn’t come as easily as it used to.
15. One day you’ll wake up surrounded by crap and decide it’s finally time to get a roommate or move in with your significant other.

Great Gatsby director to make Elvis movie
It’s hard to imagine what a movie about the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll made by one of Hollywood’s zaniest directors would look like!
Well, it might not be long before we find out, as Baz Luhrmann is in talks to direct an Elvis Presley biopic.
The Romeo and Juliet movie-maker has been in negotiations with Warner Bros about depicting the life of the iconic singer on the silver screen.
The studio has also secured full rights to the Love Me Tender singers’ entire back catalogue for the movie. And that’s not all – Fifty Shades of Grey writer Kelly Marcel is working on an original screenplay for the film.
It’s yet to be revealed what period of Elvis’ life the movie will depict before his death in 1977 aged 42.
Baz has a number of projects in the pipeline, including the highly-anticipated Kung Fu movie, but the director hasn’t revealed what he’ll start work on first.

Designer creates the ‘world’s most comfortable’ heel
When it comes to heels, the majority of us have accepted that there is no such thing as style and comfort.
However, thanks to one British designer, we know longer have to endure any pain at the cost of remaining fashionable.
Shoe designer, Chris Shellis has created the “world’s most comfortable stiletto” with a 1,000-year guarantee. Yes, you read that right.
Shellis’ label, House of Borgezie designed the heel with a stainless Steel and sterling silver stiletto, which is fashioned out of the same materials as your kitchen cutlery.
What makes these shoes so uniquely comfortable, as well as stylish, is the slope of the shoe, plus silicone liners on the toe strap and rear heel. There’s also a removable heart-shaped sole, which can be replaced with spares after some wear and tear.
Unfortunately, price-wise these might be a little out of our range, as one pair is estimated to be £995. But Chris insists they are a “good investment”.
“Women could even hand them down to their granddaughters.”

McBusted star doubts our Irish lads can pull off supergroup success
A McBusted star has warned off Irish bands Boyzone and Westlife from forming a supergroup – because he doesn’t think they’d be able to pull it off!
Despite McBusted’s success, the boys – Tom Fletcher, Danny Jones, Dougie Poynter, Harry Judd, James Bourne and Matt Willis – don’t think a Boyzone and Westlife union would work.
McBusted star Tom said, “I heard Boyzone and Westlife are rumoured to be doing something similar to us. The thing is, I’m not sure if it would work as well for other bands. Good luck to anyone wanting to form a supergroup, but it probably won’t be as easy and natural as it was for us.”
“McFly and Busted go way back. I was in McBusted for a while before McFly, plus Harry and Charlie went to school together and I went to school with Matt.
“James has written most of McFly’s hits. So the lines between the two bands have always been blurred. For us to merge seemed the natural thing to do,” Tom said.
The stars are currently on a 34-date arena tour, and most of their shows have been total sell-outs so far.
