Hold the phone – Harry Styles wrote a song about Taylor Swift?!
Touché!
While we’re all still obsessing over Out of the Woods, Taylor’s supposed ode to ex-boyfriend Harry, it seems that the One Direction singer has put his thoughts on their romance into song too!
This is just too much.
According to reports today, Harry has penned a break-up song all about “the one that got away” – that’s Taylor – and it featured on a record by singing duo Alex & Sierra.
That’s not even the saddest part – the song is called I Love You.
The song is all about Harry’s regret over the failed romance, and includes such heart-breaking lyrics as: “I fell in love with a beautiful girl/ And she still takes my breath away”.
Guys, you are killing us here.
Just take a listen to the song below, and let us know your thoughts.
Could it be that Harry and Taylor’s love story isn’t over just yet? We’re secretly still rooting for them!
Last month we were treated to the first sneak peek of the new Hunger Games film, Mockingjay Part 1, which comes out on November 21st.
Now a second preview has been released and it's even MORE epic, if that's possible.
In the trailer, titled Return to District 12, Katniss is on her own with no Gale or Peeta to watch over her – and The Capitol know exactly what they need to do to bring her down.
Lorde's new song Yellow Flicker Beat, written especially for the film, is a great match for this new, darker trailer. We can't wait to see the movie in full!
Ed Sheeran has always been refreshingly honest about his experience in Hollywood. When he was still struggling to make a name for himself, he remembers being ignored by people who had no interest in the twenty-three-old musician. “Everyone in LA introduces themselves with their first name, last name, what they do, how many awards they've won, how much they earn, but only if they know who you are.” Sounds fairly grim to us.
But fear not, Ed has discovered that not everyone in Hollywood is like this. Step forward BFF's Courteney Cox and Jennifer Aniston. You ladies have restored Ed's faith in humanity. The Lego House singer remembers his first time in Courteney's home and says: “I brought my cousin Murray who isn't a superstar, but everyone spoke to him and thought he was cool. Jennifer's just as friendly. I'd only ever experienced the darker side of Hollywood and they give you faith in everything.” Seriously, how sweet is that?
Seems like Ed and Courteney's friendship works both ways though! Ed introduced the Cougar Town star to her current fiancé Snow Patrol star Johnny McDaid. See, this is exactly how friendships are meant to work!
First we had Iggy Azalea and Snoop Dogg feuding across the twitosphere and now, if the latest Twitter offerings are anything to go by, Russell Brand and Donald Trump will certainly be crossing each other off their Christmas card lists.
Sixty-eight-year-old American business magnate Donald really let loose on Twitter this week and decided that British actor and comedian Russell Brand was going to hear exactly how he felt about him. Calling him a 'major loser' and questioning why Katy Perry ever married him, the savvy businessman probably knew that Russell wasn't going to take that lying down. And he was right.
In response, Russell asked Donald: “Are you drunk when you write these tweets? Or does that foam you spray on your bald head make you high?” Considering how out-of the-blue Donald's attack was, we think Russell handled it admirably, adding “I don't think your daddy left you any witty ripostes, and everything you have you inherited.”
Donald then bored of the British funnyman's replies and turned his attention to Obama, but for how long? We can't see this bizarre feud dying down anytime soon!
Prince Harry was left feeling a little disappointed at a charity event held in London yesterday when he found himself seated between two men. When the Prince, known for his mischievous side, addressed the 200-strong crowd at a fundraising gala dinner held by 100 Women in Hedge Fund, he quipped: “I am not entirely sure who made the seating plan, but I am sitting between two men. I thought it would just be 100 women and myself.”
The event, which was held in The Royal Hospital in Chelsea, was to raise funds for children's charity WellChild of which Harry is a patron. His brother William and sister-in-law Kate are also patrons, but were notably absent. It has been reported that Kate is suffering from pregnancy sickness and was unable to attend.
Harry's passion for the charity was evident in his speech when he said: “There are few organisations which share WellChild's hunger and determination to do better; my support and admiration for this important charity grows stronger with every inspirational young person, parent or carer that I am lucky enough to meet.”
Harry's mother, the late Princess Diana, was known for her warmth with children and it seems Harry has certainly inherited his mum's traits.
We have pores all over our bodies – they are simply hair follicle glands. They look after us by excreting salt and sweat, and keeping our skin moisturised. But sometimes these glands can get clogged, most commonly on the face.
A build-up of oil, dirt, dead skin or sweat can lead to spots, blackheads and enlarging of pores. Not nice!
Here are our top tips for ensuring your pores stay unclogged and your skin is blemish-free…
1. Always take off make-up
After a night out the temptation to leave make-up on is strong. Resist the urge! A gentle cream cleanser will remove foundation, mascara and other make-up that can sink into our delicate facial skin. Wearing a primer under make-up also creates a base layer to give skin better protection from heavy make-up and airborne dust.
2. Cleanse, cleanse, cleanse
Even if you're not wearing make-up, it's important to cleanse to remove oil, sweat and dirt that settles on your skin throughout the day. A liquid or gel cleanser will gently remove build-up on the skin, lowering your chances of clogged pores. Yay!
3. Scrub it off
Exfoliating even twice a week will go a long way toward keeping your skin in great condition. A mild scrub helps to gently open pores and remove any trapped particles. It will also get rid of the top layer of dead skin that can clog pores over time.
4. Keep it natural
Skincare products that are laced with chemicals can cause irritation to your skin, meaning it'll produce even more oil than usual. If you have sensitive skin look for hypoallergenic or organic products that will be kind and gentle!
5. Stay clean
It might seem obvious, but eating oily or greasy food isn't just bad for us on the inside. Oily residue can linger on our hands and face, and will eventually be absorbed by the skin. So be sure to clean your hands and mouth after eating that plate of cheesy chips! Giving your phone a wipe with an antibacterial cloth every day, and changing your pillowcase regularly will also reduce your skin's exposure to oil, dirt and bacteria.
Channing Tatum, the 34-year-old star of Magic Mike has recently opened up about his family life and it's only left us wanting more! Channing met his wife, dancer and actress Jenna Dewan-Tatum, on the set of Step Up in 2006 and the talented couple welcomed baby Everly into their lives in May of last year, but it seems like family life hasn't dulled the energetic pair.
Talking about their morning routine, Channing says: “Dance battles do sort of happen, to be honest! When we wake up in the morning we put on music, and while Everly's eating we dance and it just starts to get stupid.”
Everly has obviously inherited her parents flair for dance as Channing describes her nappy changing routine as pretty intense. “It's almost like a break-dancing battle to get it in her. As soon as you lay her down, she's bridging out of it and doing some jujitsu windmill.” Sounds like mornings in the Tatum household are a lot more fun than ours anyway!
While most couples cringe at the thought of watching their partners sex scenes on film, this laidback pair make a joke out of it. “She watches when I do love scenes and we've had to kind of find our way with it. She'll cover my eyes and I'll cover hers. It's all in good fun.”
Sounds like the Tatum's have a pretty interesting domestic setting, right?
Ah, middle children. We really have it tough. For the first few years (maybe more) of our lives, we were the baby, doted upon by all. And then, boom. Shunted into the middle.
Us middle children have less of a defined place in the family, so we overcompensate by being super-individual in other ways. It’s not all bad! Here are nine things you’ll know to be true if you were born in the middle…
1. You can remember the day it all changed
"A new baby? Excuse me, I’m the only baby around here." Your protests were sadly drowned out by the screaming child that was now your greatest competititon for attention… after your older sibling of course.
2. You were always teased by the others
A middle child is the perfect candidate for endless mocking by the other siblings. Why, why has this fate befallen us?
3. “Conflict resolution” is your middle name
You became an expert in calming down both sides during an argument, if only to get some peace. And you were always, and still are, the go-to person when someone wanted to vent about another sibling.
4. You learnt to do things your own way
Well, if no-one’s going to notice you at home, you’ll sure as hell get noticed elsewhere. Be it a crazy hobby or a great sense of style, whatever you chose, you owned it.
5. That awkward parenting window meant you never knew if you’d be in trouble
Things that might have warranted a total freak-out from your mum and dad for your older brother don’t seem quite so bad by the time you get around to doing them. So it’s all good when you come home with your hair dyed traffic light red. But on the other hand, they let him get away with going to his first house party at fifteen and that MOST DEFINITELY won’t be permitted for you.
6. Your parent’s attention was constantly elsewhere
Hanging around the sitting room while everyone talked over you, before retreating to the sweet silence of your bedroom. Yup, that pretty much summed up a normal evening in your house.
7. You’re naturally extremely objective
Your place in the family means you can see things from all sides – you’re protective of your younger siblings but you also know what it’s like to constantly compete with an older brother or sister. Being so chilled out means you're the wildcard favourite of the family in many ways.
8. Your pop culture knowledge spans decades
You managed to watch all those over-18s films with your older brother long before it was sensible to do so, but you have a pretty broad knowledge of iCarly and Wizards of Waverly Place, too.
9. You wouldn’t give up your position in the family for anything
Sure, it’s impossible to get noticed, but your middle child syndrome has definitely shaped your sense of individuality. You’re the black sheep… in a good way!
The 36-year-old star of hit 90's TV show Dawson's Creek has revealed why he won't be marrying his stunning girlfriend, Diana Kruger. Discussing their eight year relationship in an interview with Glamour magazine, Joshua says: “I can tell you why we're not married. We're not religious. We're both children of divorce, so it's hard for me to take marriage at face value as the thing that shows you've grown up and are committed to another person.” Fair enough!
Joshua once said he was surprised he ever made it to a second date with the star of Inglorious Basterds because their first was such a disaster! “I took her to an Italian restaurant and there was some flower that was blooming. She was allergic to it, so she sniffled and sneezed the entire time. And when I get nervous I talk a lot. So I just chewed her ear off for an hour and a half! I'm surprised she ever called back.”
Well, you obviously did something right Josh, because she did more than just call back! The beautiful blonde once flew from Kenya, via London, to Vancouver to spend twenty four hours with her beau.
Who needs a marriage certificate to confirm that kind of love?
Bono is famed for his bombastic on-stage presence, his endless charity work and his sunglasses. Yes, those sunglasses are almost as famous as the band's biggest hits, but it turns out that they're more than just a gimmick. Who knew?
Speaking on The Graham Norton Show which will air tonight, the pint-sized star having been asked by Graham whether he ever intends to remove the shades, said: “This is a good place to explain to people that I've had glaucoma for the last twenty years.” However, he goes on to reassure fans saying: “I have good treatments and I am going to be fine.”
The band, appearing alongside other guests Robert Downey Jr, Stephen Fry and Robert Duvall, addressed the controversy surrounding their latest album Songs of Innocence, which was added to the music libraries of half a billion iTunes customers without their consent last month. Bono joked: “All those people who were uninterested in U2 are now mad at U2. As far as we are concerned, it's an improvement.”
Tune into BBC One at 10.35 tonight to hear the band discuss the four decades they have spent together as one of the world's most famous groups.
28-year-old television and radio presenter Jameela Jamil delivered a speech in the House of Commons last night which has gotten everybody talking. And no wonder! The former model and current host of The Official Chart on Radio 1 discussed body image, self-esteem and the impact the media has had on her career.
Speaking about her personal triumphs thus far she said: "It came out that I had gained almost 200,000 listeners on my show. The papers ignored this and instead ran a wonderful piece that I'd gained- not 200,000 listeners on my show, but instead- two dress sizes.” Jameela found this devastating and describes it as a turning point in her career.
Jameela's speech managed to be powerful, moving and incredibly funny. She's just one of those people who can engage and captivate an audience, isn't she?
Following on from both Emma Watson's acclaimed speech at the UN last month where the Harry Potter star promoted the HeForShe movement and Brazilian artist Carol Rossetti's stunning collection of digital postcards which aims to empower and motivate women, we have a feeling that the tide may be turning with regards women's issues in today's society.
The response to Jameela's speech was overwhelmingly positive with people taking to Twitter to congratulate the writer and broadcaster on the inspirational talk. You need to have a listen!
