With so many stars sharing photos of their wonderful family Thanskgiving celebrations, spare a thought for poor Demi Lovato.

The singer was clearly very emotional yesterday as she took to Instagram to share a photo of herself on a video call with her family.

The 22-year-old was in tears, dabbing her eyes with a tissue as she held two phones up in front of her.

Poor thing!

The star was unable to join her family for the holiday festivities this year, as she is currently supporting Enrique Iglesias on the UK leg of his tour.

Sharing the photo with her followers, Demi wrote: “I got to FaceTime with them which is better than nothing! I love them so much and I’m so thankful for them.”

We’re glad that Demi was able to raise a smile as she added: “Also, shout out to my double chin for being with me on this Turkey Day.”

Poor Demi. Let’s hope she at least got some turkey for her troubles!

Alan Foran decided he wanted to pop the question to gorgeous girlfriend, Amanda Lavery and he didn’t want to do it any old way either.

This besotted boyfriend pulled out all the stops to make his proposal as special as possible and managed to give us all goose bumps in the process.

We’re talking flash mobs, brass bands and his girlfriend’s favourite Christmas hymn: here’s a man who knows how it’s done.

Guys the world over, take note.

We’re still recovering from Kim Kardashian’s nude shoot for Paper magazine, but it seems as though her most risqué project is yet to come.

What could possibly be more risqué than posing completely naked for a magazine, we hear you say?

How about a completely nude shoot involving Kim and Kanye?

According to reports, the couple are so delighted with the response to Kim’s recent photo shoot (which Kanye, apparently, helped to direct) that they want to make it a joint venture next time.

A source has revealed that Kanye has already organised and commissioned a “gallery-worthy” picture of the couple “lying naked in a loving embrace”.

Not usually ones to shy away from the spotlight, the couple are also said to be keen to share the end result with the world.

A source told OK! magazine: “There’s going to be a big reveal party once it’s done!”

Seriously, someone needs to tell them that we’re just fine without that image!

She has been on the show for 13 years, so it’s only natural for the Emmerdale cast to be upset over Sammy Winward’s shock departure from the show.

The actress, who found fame playing the role of Katie Addyman in the popular soap, reportedly announced that she is to quit the show next year.

Referring to 29-year-old Sammy’s popularity with cast, crew and fans alike, a source told The Sun: “Sammy is the Michelle Keegan of Emmerdale so everyone is gutted that she’s leaving.”

“She’s hugely popular and her character has been a big part in the show overtaking Eastenders,” they added.

While Sammy is reportedly keen to take up other acting opportunities, fans need not despair just yet, as the actress has supposedly asked for her character to be kept alive after her exit.

Sammy was just 15 years old when she joined the soap as stable manager Katie. She went on to have a rather complicated romantic relationship with character Andy Sugden, and has been at the centre of some of the show’s biggest plotlines.

While fans will no doubt be sad over Sammy’s departure from the show, it will be exciting to see what’s next for her!

Some people love sexting while other people would rather die than send a suggestive text to a random guy or even their other half.

Whether you love it or hate it, do any of us actually have any idea if we're even good at it?

Different strokes for different folks and all that, but there are a definitely few key issues we should ALL keep in mind before closing our eyes, internally screaming and pressing send.

Here are the top ten tips for ensuring a cringe-free sext-fest.

1) Don’t do it if you’re not comfortable.

Like all sex, it’s meant to be a mutually pleasurable endeavour

2) Don’t get his name wrong.

This is vital

3) Don’t laugh at him.

Yes, he misspelled his own body part, but no one’s perfect.

4) Don’t mention the cringy move he tried in bed last week.

You didn’t look so hot that time you got stuck in your own bra, ya know.

5) Don’t promise a sexy photo and then send a photo of a cat.

Hilarious? Yes. Mean? Definitely.

6) Don’t take forever and a day to reply.

No likes to have sex amongst the tumbleweeds.

7) Don’t do it in the same room as anyone else.

Yes, it’s a little wild, but it’s also a lot weird.

8) Don’t be disappointed if he’s failing to turn you on.

Your ‘sexy’ puns and ‘saucy’ gags mightn’t be as stimulating as you think either, ya Casanova.

9) Don’t somehow find a way to argue in a sext, even if you think it’s cute.

It’s not, you’re being annoying.

10) Don’t forget to relax, have fun and practise as often as possible.

If you get good enough, you could soon add it to your CV. (You could, but don't.)

We have learned by now to take a lot of the crazy things Sarah Silverman comes out with as a joke, but the actress and comedienne had us gearing up for a mega celebrity feud with her latest Instagram post.

Sarah, who is currently dating actor Michael Sheen, appeared to take a rather nasty dig at Michael’s ex, Kate Beckinsale, in her latest Instagram post.

Sharing a picture of herself in front of a big screen featuring Kate’s face, the 43-year-old wrote: “I can’t believe my boyfriend ever dated this PIG.”

Before you jump to conclusions though, Sarah’s Instagram post was all in the name of comedy!

Indeed, Sarah recently spoke of her ‘love’ for the Underworld actress, who has a 15-year-old daughter from her marriage to Sheen.

 

I can't believe my boyfriend ever dated this PIG

A photo posted by @sarahkatesilverman on

Appearing on Howard Stern’s Sirius XM radio show, Sarah said that far from being intimidated by Sheen’s string of beautiful exes, she takes it as a compliment.

“No, it’s more like, ‘Look at all these beautiful women and he loves me.’ It’s more like that, like, ‘Wow!’” she said.

Referring to Kate, Sarah added: “I love her. She’s hilarious…She’s really cool.”

Phew! That’s one potential catfight we can cross off the list!

Very sad news this morning, as it has been reported that reality TV star Ryan Knight has died.

The 29-year-old, who starred in MTV’s The Real World: New Orleans, reportedly passed away on Wednesday following a night of partying with friends.

According to TMZ, friends of the star found him on Thursday morning.

The cause of death has not yet been disclosed to the media.

A number of Knight’s friends and former co-stars took to their social media accounts in the past 24 hours to express their sadness over the star’s tragic death.

Close friend Zach Nichols, who starred alongside Knight in The Challenge: Battle of the Seasons, paid tribute to him on Twitter, writing: “You lived your life in the fast lane, and your smile was contagious. My bunkmate, my buddy. Rest easy pal, I’ll miss you.”

Knight’s on-off girlfriend Jemmye Carroll also shared a heartbreaking message on Twitter, accompanied by a collage of some of their special moments together.

“Words will never be enough to justify the connection we shared and the pain I will forever feel. RIP,” she wrote.

Such sad news. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.

Shia LaBeouf has claimed that he was sexually assaulted while taking part in a week-long L.A performance art project which allowed members of the public a one-on-one encounter with the Transformers star.

The 28-year-old actor claims the assault took place last February when, as part of the project, the actor sat silently in a room wearing a tuxedo and a paper bag over his head.

According to the Lawless star, a woman entered the room and proceeded to assault him on Valentine’s Day this year.

Commenting on the shocking event, Shia said: “One woman who came with her boyfriend, who was outside the door when this happened, whipped my legs for ten minutes and then stripped my clothing and proceeded to rape me.”

The traumatised actor went on to comment on the effect it had on both himself and his girlfriend saying: “It really hurt her as well, as I guess the news of it travelled through the line. When she came in she asked for an explanation, and I couldn’t speak, so we both sat with this unexplained trauma silently. It was painful.”
