It’s official ladies, Hollywood actor Chris Pine is a single man again!

The Into The Woods actor appeared on The Ellen Show, where Ellen was quick to grill him on his relationship status, saying: “So, you’re handsome, you sing, and are you single?”

The actor responded with, “Oh man! I’m  a single man”, despite rumours he had been dating actress Zoe Kravitz.

Ellen also convinced Chris to sing an amazing rendition of Frank Sinatra's Summer Wind, which we are very grateful to her for.

Model Karreuche Tran caused some serious talk last night when she tweeted announcing she was a “single lady”, leading people to believe she had split once again from Chris Brown.

Karrueche took to her Twitter account and wrote, quite cryptically: "Looks like I'm a single lady again."

Many media outlets picked up on the supposed break-up, but all was not as it seemed.

Now, it has emerged the tweet was due to an episode of a show she is starring in, called Single Ladies. Karrueche wrote a follow-up tweet, writing: “I was talking about the show Single Ladies I just came back from shooting an episode lol gee wiz.”

Oh, yes, “lol gee wiz” indeed, how did your followers not pick up on that after your original tweet was just so clear, Karrueche…

Sounds like she and Chris Brown are still giving things a go then!

Whether the reason behind your choice to go vegetarian, it can be hard sometimes to explain your decision to other people.

We know being veggie can make certain things a little more complicated – your Granny will still try to force that Shepherd’s Pie on you every time you visit – but it can be so worth it, too.

Just be prepared for one of the following questions every time you dine out…

1. “But have you actually even TRIED meat?”

Whether you have or you haven’t is beside the point. What this question really means is, “why are you being so awkward?!”

2. “You’re really pale… you must be low in iron.”

Nope, I’m just Irish, thanks. Spinach and other leafy green veg are amazing sources of iron, but the general consensus is that without red meat, you might as well call yourself anaemic and be done with it.

3. “Oh… you eat fish though, right?”

This one’s usually asked just before someone serves you up a big plate of seafood at a dinner party. Awkward. Another delicious meal of sliced pan and lettuce it is, so.

4. “But do you not get bored only eating vegetables?”

Vegetables… and soups… and curries… and chilli… and casserole… and lasagne…

5. “You can just peel the pepperoni off this pizza, it’ll be grand.”

Really? REALLY?!

6. “You probably can’t have this. It has dairy in it.”

Wait, no! I’m not vegan! Gimme the cake. Gimme!

It looks like EastEnders actress Jacqueline Jossa and her boyfriend have split following a telling tweet he posted last night.

The TOWIE star tweeted: “Relationships just do not seem to work.” Jacqueline is currently expecting the couple’s first child, so a break-up for them couldn’t come at a worse time.

Yesterday, the actress posted a tweet that read: “Let me make this easy for you”, which she then promptly deleted, sparking early speculation of issues in the relationship.

Things haven’t been easy for the couple during their time together, with Dan being accused of sending illicit photos to others girls back in September as well as being arrested just last week over an incident with his ex-girlfriend and mum of his son, Megan Tomlin.

Dan and Jacqueline announced back in August that they are expecting a baby, with the actress often sharing photos of her growing bump on social media. Let’s hope these two can work things out.

Barmaid Shirley Carter has had some ups and down during her time in Walford and it looks like the woman who plays her is no stranger to drama either.

Linda Henry, who joined the Eastenders cast eight years ago, is set to stand trial over accusations of racially aggravated harassment in an incident which is said to have taken place in September of this year. The actress has denied the accusation and is reportedly devastated over the upcoming trial.

The 51-year-old TV star decided not to attend her initial hearing, but has pleaded not guilty through her lawyer with a source telling The Sun newspaper: “Linda is horrified at the accusation and intends to fight it tooth and nail.”

The actress is adamant that she will clear her name and an insider has reported: “Those close to her know the truth and the type of person she is. She has never been in trouble before, has never been accused of this type of thing before and is determined to prove she is innocent of these deeply offensive claims.”

The incident apparently took place outside Jamie Oliver's Greenwich restaurant and the trial will begin in February of next year.

Former Spice Girl and acclaimed fashion designer, Victoria Beckham, has revealed that she plans to stay in the UK “as much as possible” to help her younger sister Louise deal with her recent divorce.

Family-oriented Victoria believes that staying in the UK as long as she can will be a support to her sister in the aftermath of her split from second husband, Darren Flood.

The protective older sister has reportedly been a shoulder to cry on for Louise following the collapse of her five year relationship and has no intention of leaving her sister to deal with the heartache alone.

Commenting on their close relationship, a source said: “They’ve always been there for each other as sisters and it’s one of the reasons she wanted to spend as much time as possible in the UK.”

This is Louise’s second divorce in recent years, having split from first husband Hayden late in 2007.

Like her older sister, Louise is also a mum-of-four and the recent divorce is said to have been very difficult for everyone involved, with an insider saying: “It’s sad for the entire family because they were all close to the couple.”

We’re glad Louise has such a solid support system at this difficult time.

Christmas is meant to be a time of happiness and fun, but it can also bring feelings of stress and anxiety for many.

With so many people to see and catch up with, the financial pressures of gift-buying and Christmas parties, and the stress of finishing last minute work before the holidays, it’s easy to become overwhelmed at this time of year.

Before the festive season really kicks off, here are a few pieces of advice to ensure your Christmas runs smoothly…

1. Set a budget
Christmas might be a time of giving, but you have to consider your personal finances, too. A small, thoughtful gift is enough if you're short on cash – don't blow your wages on huge gifts that you'll regret in the New Year. When it comes to parties and gatherings, don't be afraid to say "no" if you simply can't afford a big night out. There will be plenty of others so  accept the FOMO every once in a while and have a night in.

2. Take care of yourself
Too much Christmas cheer can leave you feeling worn out, sluggish and down in yourself. Make sure you get enough sleep and exercise and that you're eating well too. Don't go overboard on the mulled wine – alternate with water every drink or two to ensure you don't wake up with an unexpected hangover tomorrow.

3. Make time for you
With family and friends arriving home from all corners of the country (and the globe), there's a huge pressure to see everyone and to be "on" at all times. Make sure you take the time to relax by yourself and recharge your batteries too, even if it just means getting out for a stroll after work. If you find social gatherings tiring, try to organise one-on-one meetings instead of huge group events where possible.

4. Be realistic
Try to keep your expectations reasonable, especially when it comes to family time at home, which can be strained or difficult for some. The Christmas dinner table is not the time to bring up past grudges, so if tensions flare, try to set aside your grievances until another more appropriate time. A little understanding can go a long way.

5. Acknowledge your feelings
Yes, Christmas is meant to be a happy time but it's not that way for everyone. If you're far away from loved ones or find that this is a difficult time of year, it's okay to get upset. Forcing yourself to be happy will only make you more agitated in the long run. Don't be afraid to discuss your feelings with those close to you – talking things out can do a world of good.

6. Recognise signs of stress or anxiety
If you notice yourself getting overwhelmed or feel that you're not coping, don't just overlook it. Simple relaxation techniques like deep breathing, going out for a stroll or taking a break might be all you need to get back on track. If these feelings persist, consider talking to a professional or someone you can trust.

We normally flick through a couple of glossies or scroll through our iPod when we're on a flight, but then again, we’re not Mr. Kanye West.

The rapper and husband of Internet Breaker, Kim Kardashian, was reported to have spent quite some time on a flight from Paris this week ogling nude photos of a brunette lady on his laptop.

Was it Kim? We're not sure.

The Grammy-award winning star, known for his major ego, was travelling from the French capital to Helsinki and caused quite a stir it seems.

Not only did many of his fellow passengers report that the Love Lockdown singer passed the time checking out the ladies on his computer, but he also he delayed the entire flight, refused to apologise and declined requests for autographs. Charming!

One witness to his diva-like behaviour said: “The whole flight was waiting on one of those buses that ferries passengers from the gate to the plane. Kanye and his assistant boarded in a huff and they did not apologise for keeping everyone waiting.”

When the superstar was asked for an autograph, a witness said: “He initially seemed to say yes, but then pointed at the line of passengers behind him waiting to board and declined…mostly through hand gestures. He was not talkative at all.”

OK, so he didn’t speak, he didn’t write, but he did apparently give one passenger “a reluctant fist bump”.

Result!

We're all for sharing holiday snaps or fancy dinners on social media, but Katie Price's latest tweets have really taken a turn for the bizarre.

The former glamour model reportedly checked into hospital for her seventh round of breast implant surgery today – and she's been sharing live updates from her bed.

The action started a few hours ago when Katie uploaded a picture of two breast implants on a table with the caption, "Like I've been saying, out with the old in with the new."

TMI, much?!

The star also uploaded a series of sultry selfies with captions like, "here I am in my hospital bed," just in case there was any doubt where she was and why.

Earlier this year, a friend of the 36-year-old revealed that Katie had been planning a massive plastic surgery makeover to transform her post-baby body after having two children in quick succession with husband Kieran Hayler. 

Katie herself spoke on Loose Women about the changes to her body having given birth twice in two years. "Before I met Kieran I'd just had my boobs done, three months before," she said on the show. "So they were so good, the boobs, and then I met Kieran, and within five weeks I got pregnant and I've been pregnant for two years."

The model described her plans for new implants as "my Christmas pressie to myself."

We hope it all goes well… no doubt Katie will let the world know either way!

The drama on I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here usually centres around Bushtucker Trials and skinny dipping, but something altogether more sinister has tainted this year's series.

Security on set in the jungle has had to be tightened after a reports of a murder just ten minutes from the camp.

Residents in the tiny town of Murwillumbah were left shocked when a 52-year-old woman was found dead in the street two weeks ago. The death is being treated as "suspicious" and the investigation continues, according to local police.

To make things even more worrying, this is the second unsolved murder to have been reported in the area in the last two months. Back in October, a local man aged 37 was murdered in Coomera, about an hour up the coast from the I'm A Celeb base. A police inquiry into his death is still ongoing.

The show's producers have reportedly brought in extra measures to protect the contestants and crew during filming of the show. "We have a security team on site. The safety and security of our celebrities and crew is of the utmost importance," said an ITV spokesman.

Contestants for this year's show, again presented by Ant and Dec, include Kendra Wilkinson, TV presenter Melanie Sykes, Irish model Nadia Forde, and rapper Tinchy Stryder.

If you’re a twenty-something experiencing even the slightest twinge of self-doubt about your life achievements to date, all you need to do is turn on the radio to feel totally inferior all over again. To take one very glaring example, Taylor Swift’s recent new album sold a record 1 million copies in its first week, and she conveniently titled it 1989 to let us know that, as well as being a hugely successful artist, she is only 24.

The same goes for Adele, Justin Bieber, Rihanna and countless other artists who were selling platinum records while we were still pulling all-nighters over college essays. And that’s just the music side of things. Mark Zuckerberg, the co-founder of Facebook, was named the world’s youngest self-made billionaire in 2012, aged just 27. Ouch.

With so many youthful successes out there, it can be easy to feel like we’ve made a bit of a mess of things. Where is OUR multi-billion euro company, huh? Where is our international acclaim?

Next time you’re getting down on yourself for not having made the Billboard Top 100 just yet, try to remember that the Taylor Swifts and Mark Zuckerbergs of the world are only a tiny percentage of all the young adults out there. For every global name, there are a million other unknowns who haven’t made their mark just yet.

That’s exactly the point Mark and Anna Vital of Funders and Founders were trying to drive home with their It’s Never Too Late campaign – a series of infographics paying tribute to the many people who found huge success later in life.

Jan Koum, the founder of WhatsApp, didn’t come up with his big idea until he was 35, for example. And CraigsList? The genius idea didn’t occur to founder Craig Newmark until he was 41. Mark and Anna also note that of the top 100 founders on the Forbes List, the most common age to start a successful company is 35. Food for thought.

But if tech isn’t your strong point, and you were relying on your vocal/acting/dancing talents to have earned you global acclaim by now, it can be difficult to trust in the fact that your big moment might suddenly arrive when you reach your mid-thirties. Sadly, some success is just down to pure luck. Jennifer Lawrence, Lady Gaga and all the others do have huge talent, but they were also the one in a million who was spotted at the right age and at the right time, when the market needed someone just like them. If it hadn’t been J-Law cast as Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games, it would have been the next girl in line.

And despite all of the perks that come with it, would we even want to be global superstars? Unless you’re a hyperactive, attention-seeking extrovert, it’s probably going to be hard to keep up the momentum needed to stay in the spotlight.

One Direction’s Zayn Malik has come under criticism recently for missing out on the band’s album launch and showing less interest in public appearances – but can you really blame him? It must be exhausting having to work to someone else’s agenda, day in and day out. Your life is no longer about you. It’s about your manager, your agent, your audience, maybe even your shareholders.

So next time you berate yourself for doing nothing with your life, be thankful that it’s yours to live, and don’t forget that your light bulb moment might be waiting just around the next corner.
