Olly Murs has slammed Taylor Swift’s new song, 'Out of the Woods', which is said to be about his good friend, Harry Styles.

The singer appeared on a radio show and was questioned about Taylor’s new song which is said to be about Harry as it references an incident in which Harry needed 20 stitches after a snowmobile accident.

Olly said about the Harry reference: “come on, let it go. Write something new that isn’t about Harry … Bless him, it’s been like two years and he’s still getting lashed out isn’t he?”

Hmm, does he have a point?

Olly also pointed out that 'We are Never Ever Getting Back Together' was also about Harry. 

Nah, we love 'Out of the Woods' too much to care who Taylor was writing about!

This is wayyy funnier that it probably should be…

SuperValu have suffered something of an embarrassing autocorrect fail on a text they sent out to customers today.

The text read: “Special! THUR-FRI, Amazing Turkey Offer, Frozen Bastard Turkey 4kg-5kg was €18.99, NOW ONLY €7.99, save €11. Quotas Apply….”

Yes, that’s right…bastard turkey.

Sounds perfect at the Christmas dinner table, no?

The company have yet to address the accidental spelling error on their social media accounts; however they did follow up with a second text that read: “Apologies to all our customers for the error in the text message that was sent earlier this morning. We did not mean to cause any offence. The message should have read: Special! Thur-Fri, Amazing Frozen Basted Turkey 4kg-5kg.”

Whether you moved away for college or are finally renting your own place now that you have a paying job, the time comes when you need to say goodbye to your good old single bed and step out into the big, bad world.

Here are a few things you'll only realise when you're living out of home…

1. Laundry doesn't do itself
And, even worse, it's VERY time-consuming. All that washing, drying and ironing, only to wear your clothes and get them dirty again. It's a vicious circle!

2. Food is VERY expensive
Since when did chicken breasts start costing approximately 1 million euro apiece?! Your mum might have turned her nose up at the Tesco Value products but they'll do just fine for you, thank you very much

3. Not only that, food goes off way too fast
You had such good intentions for that bag of lettuce and those bananas. But now they're all slimy and stinky. How did your parents keep your fridge constantly stocked with fresh food?! It's a mystery.

4. Bathrooms get dirty very quickly
Oh… so the toilet doesn't stay clean forever. And what's all this grotty stuff on the shower doors? Can I move home now please?

5. A cosy house = heating = bills
Your new place never has that warm and inviting feeling when you walk in, because you're terrified of leaving the heating on for too long. Sure it's grand, you can just throw on a jumper… over your jumper.

6. Your mum is a kitchen hero
Cooking for six people with different tastes… every night? Without retreating to the sitting room and crying? You can barely manage to feed yourself, let alone the entire house.

7. Housemates can be HARD WORK
Either they never, ever wash their own dishes, or they love having people over at 3am on a Tuesday. There's always something that'll grind your gears. And as they're not your little brother or sister, you can't start shouting at them. Boo.

8. Nothing beats a cheeky weekend trip back home
All the food. All!

Hmm, it would seem this Kelly Brook-David McIntosh saga isn’t quite as ‘over’ as we thought.

The model, who is currently based in LA had finished her relationship with the former Gladiator, but it seems she really misses him.

Perhaps his open letter did some good after all? 

In a series of tweets which were reportedly later deleted, Kelly wrote: “@devildawg85 Truth is we talk everyday and Miss each other. I’m sorry for how I’ve behaved. I really loved you x.”

Kelly also reportedly shared a snapshot of missed Facetime calls from her former fiancé on the social media site.

However, David wasn’t the only one Kelly is said to have tweeted (and deleted!)…

She also sent a message to his rumoured girlfriend, Metisha, writing: “@Metisha Darling you have no idea. I wouldn’t want to be you right now. Have some self-respect and compassion. We just broke up.”

This can only get more awkward…

Have you heard of Carol Rossetti yet? If not, don't worry because you're bound to hear a lot about her in the coming weeks and you may soon have a favourite Rossetti piece.

The self-proclaimed feminist, frenetic reader and chocolate lover also happens to be an amazing graphic designer and illustrator who has created a range of empowering images that depict the struggles and obstacles women face on a daily basis.

Carol's aim is very simple. She want to motivate and empower women to fight gender discrimination and prejudice through her collection of stunning digital postcards. The beautiful hand-drawn designs are celebrations of identity and messages of encouragement which few women will fail to be moved by.

Brazilian-born Carol began the project entitled “Women” in May and has tackled issues ranging from sexuality and appearance to careers and gender stereotyping. The images were originally created in Portuguese, but she has since translated them into several other languages and uses her blog and Facebook page to publish the images.

Carol recently said: “I loved drawing since I learned how to grab a pencil. I think most kids love drawing; the only difference is I never stopped practising.”

We don't know about you, but a lot of Carol's messages really struck a chord here with us.

Max George has a new romance AND a new hairstyle it would seem!

The former member of boyband The Wanted has been spotted hanging out with Oklahoma beauty queen, Carrie Baker and the couple seem smitten with one another. 

Max has been living in Los Angeles for a few months now, and if this relationship keeps blossoming – he may never come home!

Carrie shared a sweet photo of her and her new man on Twitter, writing: “Had the best birthday I could’ve asked for … Thanks to all my best friends and boyfriend! I love you @MaxGeorge.”

Max was once engaged to Michelle Keegan from 2010 until their break-up two years later in 2012. Michelle is now engaged to be married (very soon!) to TOWIE star Mark Wright.

While we try to always be as honest and open as we can with the people in our lives, there are still some lies we tend to tell from time to time…

1. "I’ll be ready in a minute"

We're going as fast as we can – promise!

2. "I’m fine"

Probably the most well known lie that women tell. We all know its not true. "Fine" is girls-speak for: "if you don’t figure out what’s wrong by yourself in the next 10 seconds you’re in for it." Whatever you’ve done start making up for it now. 

3. "It wasn’t that expensive"

It totally was, but we look amazing in it, so no judgement from you ‘Mr I Only Ever Shop in Penneys’. We deserve it every once in a while. We don’t complain to you about those ugly-ass runners that cost a stupid amount of money. Not to your face. We’d like you to do the same.

4. "I don’t mind"

Oh we mind – but we're trying to be nice. 

5. "Him? He’s just an old friend"

Erm apart from the year when you were fourteen – but that hardly counts now, right?

6. "I just don’t want to be in a relationship right now"

You're just not her type but she doesn't want to hurt your feelings, soz. 

7. "I woke up like this"

Nope, she got up an hour earlier and snuck on some concealer and mascara – boom. Oh that minty fresh breath? It's just natural. 

8. "You don’t have to get me anything for my birthday/Christmas/Anniversary"

Yeah, I know, we’re frustrating. She says it but you’ve got this niggling feeling that that can’t be right and you’re correct. No way will she be pleased if you come up empty handed. If you do and you say: "But you told me you didn’t want anything." You’re supposed to smarter than this.

9. "I’m not jealous"

She’s jealous. Probably while you two are out in a bar and some sweet young thing sidles up next to you and starts getting a bit too friendly. She wants you but you’re taken. Act like it.

10. "It was so annoying, they wouldn’t stop hitting on me"

It wasn’t annoying, she loved it. The only reason she’s even mentioning it is because she wants to get a reaction out of you. Like jealous rage and confessions of undying devotion. It never works because if you don’t act jealous she’ll get annoyed and if you act too jealous then you’re being the insecure annoying one. It’s a lose-lose move, if only we’d stop saying it…

11. "Sure, go on have fun"

It’s not that she doesn’t want you to have fun, she  does. But just doesn’t enjoy the idea of you having fun without her. She’s not going to stop you but you’re going to have to tell her how much you wish she could have been there. And you missed her. And she’s great.

Men and women are not the same creatures – it’s just a fact of life. And while we do get on in many, many ways, there are just some things that we see no sense in. At all.

We bet you know a man who’s guilty of a few of these!

1. Sharing his farts like they’re beautiful gifts
Guys seem to be conditioned to think that a fart is some kind of achievement. Wow, your body has released some gas and it’s super-stinky. We don’t need any more information, thanks. No need to waft it our way!

2. Not texting back when it’s REALLY important
It takes 20 seconds to write a reply! Even worse when we send a carefully crafted emoji message and he doesn’t text back. Has he no care for our art?!

3. Not committing to anything. Ever.
Ok, we get that he’s not ready for a long-term relationship right now. Grand! But when we ask what film he wanst to see tonight, there are other answers aside from “Don’t mind.”  

4. Doing disappearing acts
After a few weeks of “seeing eachother,” things seem to be going well – but all of a sudden the texts and meetings stop. Just like that. If he wants to end things, he should be brave enough to say it!

5. Assuming every bad mood is a sign of PMS
“No, it’s not hormones. You’re just really annoying me right now.”

6. Not returning the favour in bed
Enough said on this one!

7. Comparing us to his ex
We don’t just mean her good qualities, either. We shouldn’t have to defend ourselves just because his ex did something crappy and we’ve somehow reminded him of it with our own actions. Not fair!

8. Never noticing our new hairdo
It’s PLATINUM BLONDE for God’s sake!

Not many A-listers would admit to having a rat infestation, but Jennifer Garner is becoming more candid by the day. The 42-year-old star of Dallas Buyers Club spoke to Conan O' Brien about the domestic issue she and husband Ben Affleck have been faced with and revealed her funny, mischievous side in the process.

So, it turns out that the backyard of Ben and Jen's Los Angeles home has a lot of ivy and, unfortunately, ivy can lead to rats. A lot of rats. Brave Jen, instead of dealing with a costly removal, decided to hire a herd of goats to get rid of the problematic plant.

The stunning actress made the decision to invite more than a hundred goats into her back garden, in the absence of her husband, and then sent him photos of the chaos. “I sent that picture to Ben on location… It was like, his first day on the Batman set…I said 'Honey, I'm taking care of the ivy!'”

The plan, however, wasn't exactly flawless. The goats weren't the most quiet of workers and unfortunately, no one told Jennifer that ivy grows back over time.

We don't know about you, but we're starting to like Jennifer more and more.

Ellen DeGeneres is so popular with celebrities these days that they even want her to announce the birth of their firstborn!

The queen of chat shows (sorry Oprah) today announced the arrival of Fall Out Boy’s Patrick Stump’s newborn son.

Ellen tweeted: “It’s a boy! Actually it’s a @FallOutBoy. Congrats @PatrickStump and welcome baby Declan! See y’all in 2 weeks!”

Declan is the first baby for Patrick and his wife Elisa. We love that they chose to give him an Irish name – cute!

We wish Ellen would announce the birth of our firstborn on Twitter…

Declan isn’t the first Fall Out Boy baby to be born this year as Pete Wentz welcomed his second child, Saint Laszlo only two months ago, while Joe Trohman welcomed daughter Ruby back in April.

I think at some point the name Saint came up because we thought he'd be a saint if he waited to arrive until his dad was home from tour, and he did. The name suits him. Meagan is a natural mom and it's amazing to watch her with him. The addition to our family is very exciting and Bronx is already planning everyone's Halloween costume

We think they’ll need to set up a crèche for any future tours they have!

Congratulations to Patrick and Elisa on their exciting new arrival!

If your picture is going to be shown online all over the world, it's understandable you might like your teeth whitened a little, or some extra colour in your cheeks. But there is a point of no return when it comes to Photoshop – and whoever edited these poor women's photos has just gone WAY too far.

The 26 portraits, which were taken last month at the finals of the 2014 Miss World Phillippines competition, have come under fire for showing wildly unnatural skin tones, face shapes and eye colours.

This model's eyes look totally freaky:

While this woman's face has lost all contours altogether:

Commenters on were quick to criticise whoever oversaw the editing of the images, with one saying, "All these girls look like they've been sandblasted smooth. They have almost no faces left."

Another asked if the editor was possibly "high when he post-processed these photos." 

While the Photoshopped pale faces and red lips are an interesting comment on cultural beauty preferences, we can't imagine these women were too happy with the finished product!
