A 23-year-old man from the UK has spent over £100,000 trying to look like his idol Kim Kardashian. The results are startling, as Jordan James Parke shows off his enhanced lips, tattooed eyebrows and facial fillers.

Jordan says he has been a fan of Kim ever since watching Keeping Up with the Kardashians: “She’s the most gorgeous woman ever. Her skin is perfect, her hair, everything about her.”

In addition to the procedures above, Jordan has also had botox and veneers – even going as far as to try out Kim’s vampire facial…Jordan is also a massive fan of Kim's favourite make-up technique – contouring. 

Jordan also knows exactly how to deal with his haters, saying: “I laugh when people try to insult me by telling me I look plastic or fake. Do they think I’m going for the natural look? If I was, I’d ask for my money back.” That’s a good point, really…

There is tragic news for Teen Mom star Amber Portwood whose dad has passed away. Amber’s dad, Shawn Portwood, appeared in the reality TV show before his daughter’s stint in prison.

Amber’s brother spoke of how his father helped the MTV star get her life back on track after her imprisonment back in 2011: “I know that he helped Amber because he gave her strength to get better. He is the reason she was able to turn her life around. He set the precedent for what she needed to do to get better.”

Amber, who left prison last year, is set to appear on screens once again for a new season of Teen Mom alongside the other original stars, Maci, Catelynn and Farrah. Her daughter, Leah, is now five-years-old.

The reality TV star tweeted her thanks for people’s support earlier today: “I just want to say thank you to everyone for all your kind words. This is a heartbreaking time for my family your prayers help..love always.”

Khloé Kardashian has set tongues wagging after she attended a Clippers game in L.A. recently. The KUWTK star was seated in the same seats she used to when still with Lamar, with her estranged husband’s ex-teammates even coming up and addressing her as Mrs. Odom.

And that’s not even the strange part! Later, Khloé was signing jerseys for fans at the game and wrote her signature as ‘Khloé Kardashian Odom’ – the moniker she used when still in a happy marriage with Lamar.

Though the reality TV star has filed for divorce, the former couple are still officially married. Does this most recent news mean that perhaps  Khloé wants to give her marriage to Lamar another chance? While it may mean nothing – it is technically still her name, after all – it could also mean Lamar is back in her life.

The couple have been separated for almost a year, after tying the knot back in 2009. 

While we absolutely loved Khloé and ‘Lam-Lam’ as a couple, if the rumours are anything to go by he needs to sort out his issues first. Could there be hope for one of the best-loved relationships in the Kardashian household?

Some girls were fortunate enough to be born with a head of thick hair which they can curl, straighten and play with to their heart’s content.

Many of the rest of us, however, were not blessed in this department and have spent more time than we ever thought possible fantasising about having a mane of hair that makes heads turn on the daily.

If you’ve resigned yourself to the notion that you will never have a head of enviable hair, then now is the time to wise-up and realise that thick luscious locks are definitely within your reach!

All you need to do is school yourself on these DIY tips and tricks!

DIY Trick #1

Don’t wash your hair too frequently!

Each time we wash our hair, we damage our hair’s natural nutrients which makes our barnet weak and brittle. So this is something we definitely need to avoid on our quest for thick, luscious locks!

DIY Trick #2

Beat one or two eggs, apply it to wet hair, allow it to settle for approximately 30 minutes and then wash it out with shampoo and warm water.

This protein treatment can be applied once a week and will promote strong, thick hair growth!

DIY Trick #3

Apply Aloe Vera gel to your scalp and allow it to sit for 30 minutes before washing out with warm water.

This treatment can be carried out once or twice a week and the moisturising quality of the aloe vera will have a fantastic effect on your scalp which will, in turn, lead to stronger, thicker hair.

DIY Trick #4

Apply an avocado hair mask once a week by mixing one mashed avocado with a tablespoon of olive oil and allowing it to sit on your hair for approximately 30 minutes, before rinsing it out and shampooing.

The vitamin E in the avocado has a positive overall effect on the hair shaft which is exactly what we want, right?

DIY Trick #5

Step away from the straightener, ladies!

We know how damaging these appliances can be, so if you’re serious about strengthening your hair then it’s vital you minimise your use of these tools. Sorry girls, but that’s the bottom line!

Hoping to wake up with long, thick locks isn’t enough. We really need to be proactive about our hair care if we truly want a bangin' barnet! 

These five tips will do wonders for the overall health of your hair, so why not try one today!

2014 has been a big hair year for Beyoncé, but we can't quite wrap our heads around this newest look.

We're used to seeing the singer with sleek waves, but she stepped out with an all-natural look recently that was a little different than the norm.

Beyoncé was spotted in New York with a huge mane full of frizzy curls barely contained under her hoodie:

It must take some serious effort with the GHD to tame that!

This isn't the only dramatic look Bey has debuted this year. Back in October, the internet exploded when she was pictured with a seriously short and voluminous fringe:

She also showed off some fairly out-there long blonde braids back at the beginning of the year, another style that sent Twitter into a frenzy:

We wonder what she'll be rocking in 2015!

After her best friend Nicola McLean stepped in to slam David McIntosh's lying ways, Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace has finally made her own feelings known too.

The model took to social media to say she'd had a "lucky escape" and to respond to trolls who were ridiculing her for getting upset.

David and Aisleyne had been seen out and about on a string of dates during his split from Kelly Brook, but there seemed to be a serious overlap going on once he and Kelly reunited.

Things really came to a head when David was spotted on a date with Kelly just a day after taking Aisleyne out for the night. Awkward!

Earlier this week, Aisleyne posted this screenshot of an old Instagram picture of the former couple, with the caption, "lucky escape."

Last night she hit back at those who claimed her and David had only gone on "2 dates," branding them as "d**k heads." Ouch!

She later posted again saying, "Im not a woman to be manipulated or lied to":

Showing she had more important things to be worrying about than lying men, Aisleyne also showed off a radical new brunette bob last night, sharing this picture with the caption, "New hair don't care":

We like her attitude!

What is it about Christmas and relationships? You and your significant other can sail merrily through the rest of the year completely unaware of other people’s impression of the two of you, but come the festive season it’s like everyone in your life suffers from verbal diarrhoea and just can’t wait to share their thoughts on your relationship.

If you’re not being grilled by nosy aunts and uncles at the annual turkey sandwich buffet, you find yourself interrogated by friends who've enjoyed few too many festive vodkas.

Here are just some issues you and him face before the first bauble is even hung from the tree.

1. Your mother panics that you might dessert the family on the big day and have dinner with his parents.

You’re forced to talk her down off the ledge and admit that you haven’t been invited to his place on Christmas Day, something that didn’t bother you… until now.

2. His mother panics that she should have invited you to join them for the family dinner, Stephen's Day charades and the New Year's family trip.

He's forced to talk her down off the ledge. Sure, we only have five chairs. She’d have to sit on dad’s step ladder and…she does have her own family.

3. Your father panics when it looks like your boyfriend will be staying the night at some point over the holidays.

I don’t care what you get up to outside of this house, but that young lad will be plenty comfortable on the couch tonight.

4. You panic when people keep checking your ring finger on Stephen’s Day and then look unnecessarily sympathetic when they hear you got a juicer and not a sparkler.

What! The only ring I want right now is the chocolate covered biscuit one from that goddamn tin.

5. He panics when he realises that New Year’s proposals are apparently even more anticipated than Christmas Day proposals.

What! She wants a ring doughnut more than she wants a ring from me at the moment, I swear to God.

Roll on January when we can all get back to normal, right?!

Kylie Jenner has yet to confirm that she is officially dating rapper Tyga, but we reckon it's just a matter of time!

The reality star posted a seriously intimate shot on Instagram yesterday, and although the face of the man she's with is hidden, his neck tattoos would suggest it is Tyga. 

17-year-old Kylie shared this close up snap of herself lying next to the mystery man, with her hand on his neck. All that's visible of her love interest is a gold chain and a white t-shirt.

Tyga's neck tattoo, which reads "Passionaye," in a tribute to his mother Passionaye Nguyen, definitely seems to match the one seen in the photo. Trying to tell us something, Kylie?!

As well as posting cosy photos on Instagram, the rumoured couple have been getting into the spirit of the festive season together with lots of charity work of late. Not only did they volunteer at a Thanksgiving dinner for the homeless last month, the pair also visited the cancer ward at Los Angeles Children's Hospital this week to spend time with patients and bring them gifts.

Although Kylie and Tyga have both refused to confirm or deny if anything is going on between them, sources close to the couple claim they've been dating for months. 

Tyga, who is eight years older than Kylie, was previously engaged to Kim Kardashian's close pal Blac Chyna. The pair have a two-year-old daughter together.

Christmas is all about rekindling the magic of childhood and we can think of no better way to do this than to sit back and enjoy the wonder that is Paddington.

The film, starring Nicole Kidman and Julie Walters, brings to life Paddington Bear, the little Peruvian bear fascinated by all things British. And frankly girls, it is the perfect antidote to a tough day in the office or a long evening Christmas shopping.

While not a Christmas movie as such, the film still explores the importance of magic and imagination, and like all fantastic children’s films allows good to triumph over evil every single time!

Here’s what to expect from this must-see flick!

1.  An array of colours

From the pastel paint decorating the houses on the Brown’s street in London to the vivid red of Paddington’s cherished hat and the deep blue of his iconic duffel coat, this film is a total treat for the eyes!

2. Classic British accents

Is there anything more comforting than an old-fashioned British accent? This film, despite its modern setting, hints at an era gone by with its quaint English accents and British mannerisms.

3. Laugh-out-loud moments

There’s nothing quite as charming or funny as the personification of animals so watching little Paddington navigate day-to-day life in a modern family home is cute, touching and downright hilarious at times.

4. Good vs. Evil theme

The good vs. evil theme plays a massive role throughout the entire film and reminds us why family films are so important, especially at this time of year!

5. The urge to have a little Paddington of your own

Once you watch the flick, you’ll see what we mean. Having a well-meaning, but clumsy little bear wander around your house eating maramalade sandwiches is pretty much all you’ll want after spending an hour and a half in the company of him and his beloved family, the Browns.

Go check it out!

They may have starred alongside each other in 2006 smash The Departed, but relations between Leonardo DiCaprio and Mark Wahlberg weren’t always as professional as they are now.

In the early 90’s when Leo was slowly making a name for himself as a serious actor and Mark was making a name for himself dropping his pants as a rapper and underwear model, the pair were on decidedly bad terms.

Recalling his less-than-professional approach to the limelight at the time, Mark told The Hollywood Reporter in a new interview that he and Leo had a run-in at an MTV basketball game. Mark admitted he was “a punk”, saying: “I was not nice to Leo that day.”

Following this incident and upon learning that Mark had been offered a role in Leo’s 1995 film The Basketball Diaries, Leo said: “Over my dead f*cking body. Marky Mark’s not going to be in this f*cking movie. This f*cking a**hole is not going to be in the movie.”

Fortunately for the pair, they patched things up and bonded over their love of acting. Today the actors are on good terms and can often be seen hanging out at basketball games together.

How ironic.

If you're a fan of some light celebrity stalking from time to time (i.e. every spare moment), then Instagram is no doubt your mecca. How else would you know what your favourite celebs are doing and eating every moment of the day?

But when it comes to Instagram poses, a simple smile is never enough – and there are some standard go-to poses you'll definitely spot over and over in your feed.

Here are eight of the biggest clichéd poses and photos…

1. The “I have an adorable pet, therefore I am adorable” selfie
Miley Cyrus alone does not equal cute. Miley Cyrus plus a husky puppy DEFINITELY equals cute.

 

2. The “don’t mind me, I’m just sleeping” selfie
Then how in God’s name are you operating the camera, Katy Perry?!

 

3. The “HOW SEXY AM I?” duck face
Well at least Kim didn’t crop little North West out of this snap…

 

4.  The “just being casual… and yet so sexy” sparrow face
The evolved version of the duck face, the sparrow face involves sliiightly parting your lips while pouting. For tips, just follow Kylie Jenner on Instagram. She’s all about the sparrow face.

 

5. The “oh, you caught me off guard” hand-in-hair pose
If you want a super-posed photo to look like it is in fact not posed at all, just throw your hand in your hair á la Jourdan Dunn.

 

6. The “slightly off balance” crossed leg and head tilt
Favoured by fashion bloggers and reality stars.

 

7. The “yes, I do work out, how did you know?” selfie
Either taken at the gym or at home in workout clothes. Sweat is okay, a red face is NOT. Ellie Goulding is positively glowing in this snap:

 

8. The “I love my life” candid laugh
Laughing at something off camera is Instagram code for “my life is amazing, it’s far better than yours, soz.”

So we were all delighted to see that Britney, who’s had more than her fair share of romantic drama, has finally found love with a new man.

Charlie Ebersol has been given the thumbs up by Britney’s parents and embraced by her two young sons, but it looks like the 31-year-old's recent comments may be a little hard to decipher!

Speaking to People, the writer and producer said that horribly traumatic events in his past prepared him for his relationship with Britney. Hmmm, what? We’re hoping it was meant as a compliment, but we’re not quite sure!

Commenting on bullying he experienced as a child and a plane crash he survived, but which tragically took the lives of all on board except him and his father meant that Charlie feels he’s better able to handle the relationship he is now enjoying with the Baby One More Time singer.

Opening up about their romance, Charlie said: “My personal life is my personal life, but I will say this; If I had not gone through what I’ve gone through, I would not have been prepared to be in a relationship of any kind, much less in one with someone like Britney.”

Well, as long as he knows how lucky he is, we suppose!
