We all know the FLOTUS just loves her fruit and veggies – and what better way to show her true feelings that doing a little dance with a turnip?
In a Vine released by The White House, Michelle asks: “turnip, for what?” before dropping the beat…
We love it, maybe Sabina might do her own version?
If our job was to kiss Jamie Dornan every day then the mornings wouldn’t seem so bleak…
So it’s no surprise Dakota Johnson looks happy on the set of Fifty Shades of Grey!
The movie has returned to shoot in Vancouver recently where Dakota and Jamie were seen sharing a kiss for a scene.
Director Sam Taylor-Johnson was also spotted at the woods scene, while author of the best-selling book, EL James, shared an Instagram snap of the woods where the scene was being shot.
All of these little sneak peeks are making us super excited for the movie – we can’t believe we’ll still have to wait until February!
Kris Jenner's relationship with her youngest daughter Kylie is on very rocky ground right now. The tension between the pair has officially reached fever pitch with 17-year-old Kylie adamant that she can no longer live with her mother. As a result, Kylie is leaving the family home and moving in with older sister, Khloe.
Reports claim that Kylie is sick of being ignored by Kris who is focussing all her attention on Kendall's modelling career. Older sister Khloe, who regularly refers to her mother's habit of favouring certain daughters, has luckily offered Kylie a port in the storm.
There's no doubt that Khloe often felt in Kim's shadow while growing up and it seems like history may be repeating itself with the young Jenner sisters. A source close to the family has said: “Kylie is constantly arguing with her mom because Kris acts like Kylie doesn't even exist. She hates how her mom has destroyed their family unit and traded her soul for fame.”
So Khloe and Kylie will be living (it up) together. Is it just us or could there be a new show in the works?
How many times have you drooled over a pair of shoes or thought a handbag was almost good enough to eat? Yeah, us too, and it looks like we're not the only ones, if the latest venture by the Berkeley Hotel in Knightsbridge, London is anything to go by!
Collaborating with Jimmy Choo, the hotel's pastry team, Pret-a-Portea, has drawn inspiration from the 65-year-old's signature designs and have created an even more delicious version of his shoes and handbags. Frankly, who knew that was possible?
From the 13th to the 19th of October, the uber-chic Berkeley Hotel will be providing fashion lovers with the opportunity to taste one of the team's amazing delicacies- and what self-respecting fashionista would give up the chance to sample the vanilla and chocolate flavoured Anouk pointed-toe pump? Exactly.
Served in The Caramel Room from 1 to 6pm, you can expect to pay £41 per person. (Or £51, if you fancy a glass of champagne with your miniature Candy cassis cremeux clutch. And who wouldn't?)
Sandra Choi, the brands creative director, enthused: “We are excited to have our Jimmy Choo collection immortalised by the Berkeley's Pret-a-Portea, which after nearly ten years has become such a respected institution in the fashion world. I can't wait to see our designs interpreted as edible delicacies!”
Jimmy Choo isn't the only designer to be immortalised in sugar though! Louboutin, Oscar de la Renta and Miu Miu will also be given the Pret-a-Portea team treatment. The pastry team's collection honours Louboutin's signature red sole while Miu Miu's skin tote takes the form of a chocolate pecan moelleux. * heavy breathing.*
Cake, biscuits and fashion; this is one collaboration we can definitely get behind.
Zac Efron is officially off the market ladies, as he’s been spotted cosying up to his new girlfriend, Sami Miro.
The new couple were first seen together back in September and it looks as if things are going very well indeed as the actor has shared a cute photo of them on his official Instagram account.
Everyone knows an Instagram snap makes it official!
Chargement
Thx to @ReneRedzepiNoma and team @Nomacph. You've created a sophisticated, one of a kind culinary experience I'll never forget. You rock!
Zac ended his short-lived romance with actress Michelle Rodriguez back in August after two months together.
As much as we hate to admit it, Zac and Sami do make a very sophisticated and lovely looking couple!
It's all over, folks. After just six months, TOWIE's Chloe Sims and Elliott Wright have confirmed they've split.
The couple got together earlier this year during a TOWIE spin-off show in Marbella, and had just recently moved in together and introduced their kids to one another.
Their reps claim the break-up is amicable, but a source close to the pair says they are both "cut up about it."
It's thought the split could be linked to Chloe's ongoing friendship with her old flame Mario Falcone, though Elliott's publicist denies this is the case. "They love each but they've been having a few rows. Not over Mario, that's a completely separate issue," she said.
Chloe and Mario were pictured kissing on a night out back in March, just before she got together with Elliott.
Despite her new relationship the reality star has remained close to Mario, which Elliott was apparently not happy about.
Just last month though, Chloe spoke about her hopes that Elliott would propose. "'I drop hints to Elliott all the time," she admitted in an interview with Closer. "My friends tell him how desperate I am to get married, to trigger the whole idea in his mind!"
Elliott also recently opened up about the relationship, saying he hoped it wouldn't fall foul to the TOWIE break-up curse. "We're very happy. I know people say about the curse but I don't see that happening. Not for us anyway… I think the good thing about me and Chloe is we do work together, we both live together, we've both got kids and I think it just shows that we're quite happy at the moment and it means it's a solid relationship."
Hmmm… maybe they'll work things out? We hope so!
Kesha is suing her former producer over a number of serious allegations.
The singer is taking a case against her mentor, known as Dr. Luke, for charges of sexual assault, sexual harassment, gender violence, civil harassment and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
She claims the famed producer had been abusive towards her since she signed with him almost ten years ago. On one particular occasion, she recalls taking what Dr. Luke referred to as "sober pills," before waking up naked in his bed "sore and sick with no memory of how she got there."
The report goes on to say that after the incident, the music mogul "threatened that if [Kesha] ever mentioned the rape to anyone, he would shut her career down, take away all her publishing and recording rights, and otherwise destroy not only her life but her entire family’s lives as well. He also threatened her and her family’s physical safety."
Dr. Luke denies all allegations, which also refer to a number of occasions when he verbally attacked Kesha's weight, calling her a "fat f**king refrigerator." The star entered rehab earlier this year for an eating disorder – something she claims was directly related to her producer's repeated negative comments about her appearance.
The singer also says she feared for her safety around Dr. Luke – citing one incident when she escaped his Malibu home and ran barefoot down a motorway to hide from him, after he began acting violently toward her.
The controversy began last year, when fans began petitioning for Kesha to be released from Dr. Luke's "evil grasp," claiming he was stifling her creativity.
The producer has filed a counter-case, saying the allegations are all lies created by Kesha's new management firm and her mother Pebe Sebert.
He also states that Kesha threatened him with the lawsuit months ago in the hope that she would be released from her exclusive contract with his company.
Well girls, as the weather and the abundance of 'basic' jokes have reminded us, it's officially the season of the pumpkin-spiced latte. Love it or loathe it, there's a lot to be said for the health benefits of the enormous orange fruit.
Here are just a few reasons you should think about including it in your diet:
Skin
Pumpkin is a fantastic source of vitamin A and what's vitamin A good for? Your skin! With the changing weather, our skin can really suffer at this time of year so anything that keeps it in good condition is good with us!
Weight
Pumpkin is full of fibre and fibre-rich food keeps you feeling fuller for longer. If you're currently watching your weight, then be sure to introduce some pumpkin into your diet. At 40 calories a handful, you really can't go wrong.
Mood-booster
Pumpkin seeds can actually boost your mood! The evenings are getting darker, the mornings are getting a little more miserable and that chill in bed at night is definitely not your imagination; it's no wonder that a lot of us need a mood booster around this time of year. Pumpkin seeds are rich in an amino acid called tryptophan, which is important in the production of serotonin. Serotonin levels dictate your mood. Something to think about!
Detoxification
Pumpkin juice is very useful for flushing toxins from the body so it's often recommended as a detoxifying food. Drinking water throughout the day and including pumpkin juice in your diet will increase urine content, thereby helping you to maintain a healthy urinary system.
Immune-booster
If you haven't already caught a cold, then you need to keep it that way! Pumpkins are full of immune-boosting vitamins that will help keep you in tip-top shape this autumn and winter. Incorporate it into your diet to keep sniffles and tissues at bay.
Less carving, more eating!
We've been waiting nearly a month for Natasha Hamilton and Richie Neville to reveal a picture of their new baby girl – and they've finally obliged!
The couple posed with little Ella Rose for a shoot in OK! magazine:
Isn't she a cutie!
The doting parents had kept their new arrival shielded from the media until now, although Natasha did give fans a sneak peek when she posted this adorable picture on Twitter late last week:
The Atomic Kitten singer had a hypno-birth in water, and said the whole experience was extremely emotional. "I pulled her out from under the water and into life. She came out with her hands above her face… We were both in tears," she explained.
The couple even hinted that wedding bells might be ringing soon – though nothing has been confirmed yet! "She's Ella Rose Neville – and hopefully I'll be a Neville soon, too!" said the singer. Aaaaw!
Remember when America's Sweetheart, Reese Witherspoon, was arrested for a DUI in April 2013 and the world went into meltdown? Remember when she uttered the words “Do you know my name?” and the world cringed? Well, it turns out the stunning 38-year-old actress was cringing along with us.
Speaking about the incident at a press conference for her new movie Wild at the BFI London Film Festival yesterday, the Oscar winner said: “I made a mistake. We all make mistakes. The best you can do is say sorry, learn from it and move on. I clearly had one drink too many and I am deeply embarrassed about the things I said.”
This isn't the first time Reese has commented on the event, but it seems like she may be dogged with questions about it every time she intends to promote a film for the forseeable future and Reese seems to know exactly why this may be the case. Analysing the interest in the story, she said: “I think it was a moment where people realised that I wasn't exactly what they thought I was. I guess maybe we all like to define people by the way the media presents them, and I think I have showed that I have a complexity that people didn't know about.”
We don't know how much more Reese can say about the incident. Maybe it's time to move on.
With so many new trends emerging in the world of beauty, it's easy to get caught up in the latest ones. We tend to focus primarily on the shade or finish that is hot this season, but we should never neglect primary necessities. Remember; trends come and go, but some beauty regimes will stand to us for life.
Moisturise
Beauty director at Marie Claire, Didi Gluck, tells us to think of our skin like leather. Yeah, gross we know, but doing so will remind you to constantly hydrate the largest organ you have! What does leather look like when left untreated? Yeah, exactly.
Splurge on your hair
You could be wearing last night's top and last weekend's jeans, but if your hair is healthy, glossy and cut well, then you're fit for a runway. We love DIY tips and tricks, but for some things you just need to turn to a professional and hair care is one of them. Establish a good relationship with your stylist, use photos, allow yourself to be guided and communicate, communicate, communicate!
Tools of the job
Put simply, you wouldn't run a fork through your hair to tease tangles, so why do some many of us use the wrong brushes on our face? Using the correct brush in the correct way makes the world of difference. Invest in a tool kit, girls!
The lighter touch
Now that you have the right tools, it's essential you mix them with the right amount of product. Didi reveals that Jemima Kidd revolutionised her beauty regime by advising her to confine foundation to the nose and under eye region. Be brave, and reveal more of your natural skin tone. You may be pleasantly surprised by the result.
Nailed it
If your nails look like they're crying out for some TLC, then you better listen! Hiding stained nails with a few layers of plum varnish isn't going to cut it. Get to the root of the problem. Hydrate and shape your nails at home, but seek professional nail help from time to time to keep hands and feet looking immaculate.
With every new season comes a trend we know we can get on board with and this season is no different. Girls, it's time to rock the midi dress.
The 70's inspired dress is the style of choice for the A/W season and its versatility makes it the perfect choice for our lovely country's changeable weather – what more could you want!
With a hemline that falls between the knee and the ankle, you can opt for the more feminine, floaty style or alternatively, rock a more structured, tailored version. Unlike a lot of dresses which have a very specific space in the wardrobe, the midi can overlap between work events, drinks with friends or a chill-out afternoon.
As always, your choice of footwear can dictate the vibe. Dressing down with ballet pumps will promote a laid back, hippy inspired look, while teaming with a good pair of Autumn boots will channel your inner 70's fashionista.
Similarly, your choice of jacket will play a part in the look you're going for. An edgy leather jacket teamed with a midi dress will have you bang-on-trend, while a mac over a midi will keep you warm and cosy as we head into winter.
Unsure whether the length and style of the midi is for you? Fear not; with the abundance of midi dresses currently on the high street, you are bound to find one to suit your style, figure and budget.
Next, Zara, Topshop, Warehouse and H&M are all carrying affordable designs, which differ hugely in style, colour and fabric; so get out there and find the midi that best suits you. It's a staple for this season's wardrobe, so don't get left behind!
