We can’t imagine the ranting that must be going on in Heidi and Spencer Pratt’s house today.

It has been revealed that an ad campaign that Heidi starred in has been axed due to phenomenal backlash from the public.

Heidi signed up to star in a TV campaign for Sealord, a New Zealand-based seafood company, and was featured in a rather cringe 30-second advertisement.

No sooner was the ad aired however, before viewers and customers alike took to social media to condemn the brand for featuring the former star of The Hills.

While most were merely unimpressed by Heidi’s performance in the cheesy ad, others were plain furious that the company would pay the megabucks to land the contract with Heidi.

Not only was the ad and Heidi’s performance labelled as “awkward” by Twitter users, the company came in for harsh criticism for their “low standards”. Ouch.

The colourful (aka hate-filled) feedback was so bad that Sealord decided to axe the campaign entirely, releasing a statement that read: “We heard you NZ! You told us that you loved our REAL fish but not Heidi Montag. So, we listened and changed our TV Ad to star only REAL people.”

Somewhere out there, Spencer is having one massive freak-out.

Check out the original ad below.

Let's face it, some people are cat people and some people most definitely are not. If you're worried about getting matched with a true cat hater on Tinder, maybe you need to change up your apps.

Tag a Cat is technically a "cat picture sharing" system but it's extremely interactive AND uses GPS to connect you with fellow cat lovers all over the world… or just down the road. Sounds like a dating app to us.

Users can follow their fave cat picture feeds, comment on shared items and link with other feline fans. From there you can arrange a date to bring your two cats together… or leave the moggies at home and have an owner-only meeting!

Tag a Cat's creator says the app is perfect "for people who can’t get enough of cats, and want to share their own cat pics with like-minded people."

Never again will we feel awkward about over-sharing pictures of our pets!

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s marriage appears to be rock-solid, but that hasn’t stopped the reality star from slapping her husband with a ban.

According to reports today, Kim has told Kanye that under no circumstances is he allowed to contact his newly-single ex-girlfriend, Amber Rose.

Since news of Amber’s split from husband Wiz Khalifa hit the headlines, rumour has been rife that the model was back in touch with old flame Kanye.

While sources say that Amber was only reaching out to Kanye to ensure there was no bad blood between them, it was later claimed that the pair had been texting daily since.

Naturally, Queen Kim was not best pleased with what she was hearing, and has apparently now imposed a ban on Kanye to prevent any would-be flirtation between the pair.

While we couldn’t imagine Kanye having eyes for anyone other than Kim, there is a history of drama between the three of them.

Amber once said that Kim was “one of the main reasons” why she and Kanye broke up, branding her a “home wrecker”.

Yikes! Somehow we don’t think we’ve heard the end of the drama surrounding this love triangle.

Being introverted isn’t something you can really change, or should have to. It simply means that you’re more responsive to external stimuli than other people. Ever need some alone time after being around people for too long? Well, that’s just your body’s way of telling you to recharge.

Even though being introverted is just a fact of life, the world just wasn’t made for us shy and retiring types. Here are some truly awkward struggles only introverts will relate to…

1. Making conversation with new people
Small talk. Oh god. You can barely hear their answers because you’re frantically trying to think what question to ask next.

2. Ending said conversations
Please make it stop. You have two options here. Hope and pray that a mutual friend will come over, allowing you some sweet relief, or implementing an excuse like “I’ll be right back, just grabbing a drink.” Right back? NOT LIKELY.

3. Needing alone time after a big social event
Everyone else is up for an after party after that night out, but all you want is your bed and the promise of a lie-in with a good book tomorrow. It’s the little things.

4. Suffering from Resting Bitch Face
The struggle is real. If one more stranger on the street tells you to “smile, it might never happen,” they’re going to get a dose of Actual Bitch Face.

5. Trying to figure out if you have FOMO or JOMO (Joy of Missing Out)
Yes, you would love to be at that gig. No, you don’t want to make conversation with anyone right now. Yes, you probably should be doing something tonight. No, you don’t want to leave your bed ever again.

6. People always thinking you’re upset or worried
Quiet ≠ sad. We promise! We’re just conserving words here.

7. Everyone being loud in work when you’re trying to get stuff done
Some people thrive in noisy environments. Those people are not introverts. Can we all just, please… sssssssh?

8. Hoping your visitors will leave early
Being “on” all the time can be exhausting. Much as you love having people over, you usually reach a certain point where your craving an empty house again.

9. Making plans and instantly regretting them
Please cancel. Please cancel. Please cancel.

10. Your other half not understanding that you just need some alone time  
I love you… but I’d love you more if we could just sit in silence for a while.

We’re never short of drama with The X Factor, are we?

Forget contestant controversy, the judges are at each other’s throats now!

It all started with the first of the live shows last weekend, in which poor old Louis Walsh lost not one, but two of his acts.

The whole incident has left a very bitter taste in the Irish music mogul’s mouth, and he’s decided to unleash his fury on Simon Cowell, accusing him of bullying.

Slamming Simon for his harsh comments against Louis’ acts, the judge said: “I’m always the fall guy on the show. I think it’s my job. It would probably be perceived as bullying if you do it to girls. It’s ok to do it to me.”

Louis wasn’t finished there, though. Venting his fury over Simon’s criticism, he said: “He does what he wants. But when it’s so public on the show I gasp. I never know what he will say.”

Louis’ devastation at losing bands Blonde Electra and Overload Generation in just the first instalment of the live shows was painfully evident, and we can totally understand why.

We wonder what Simon will have to say about Louis’ latest comments!

As if we didn’t already know…

After weeks of PDA-filled performances and speculation, Ariana Grande has finally confirmed the news that we all suspected – she and singer Big Sean are an item.

The pint-sized singer revealed that the pair are officially in a relationship during her latest interview, with Telegraph Magazine.

Ariana clearly realised that there were only so many times they could publicly gaze lovingly into each other’s eyes before she would have to come clean about their romance.

When posed with the big question in the interview, the 21-year-old admitted that the pair were definitely more than friends, saying: “He is one of the most amazing men in the whole world, and that includes my grandfather and my brother.”

Wow, that’s a pretty big statement to make!

“I think the world of him, and he’s an amazing person. That’s kind of all there is to it,” she added.

Of course, stepping out with a high-profile star should be no big deal for Ariana. The Break Free singer previously dated The Wanted’s Nathan Sykes.

The pair dated for four months last year, before splitting ‘amicably’.

Ariana and Big Sean have certainly received a lot of attention in the past few weeks, so it’s good to finally know where they stand!

Ooh, we love a good Hollywood romance, and this looks like a very interesting pairing.

Yesterday it was confirmed that Kat Dennings and Josh Groban were all loved-up, and today it’s Shia LaBeouf and Kate Mara who have set tongues wagging.

The actors, who are starring in a new movie called Man Down together, were spotted looking extremely cosy on a recent trip to Disneyland.

The House of Cards actress didn’t seem bothered that the cameras were around, and was snapped cuddling into Shia with her arms around his waist.

A source told E! News that it was pretty obvious that there was more than friendship going on between the pair, saying: “They were very close to each other from time to time. At one point they were holding hands and they were always looking at one another in the eyes.”

Sounds like it’s serious, then!

It looks like Kate definitely has a type, having just gotten out of a four-year relationship with fellow actor Max Minghella.

We love Kate, and Shia is definitely one of the more interesting celebrities in Hollywood, so we are certainly intrigued to see what happens!

The first photo of former X Factor USA presenter Steve Jones’ wedding to wife Phylicia Jackson has been revealed, and it is as beautiful as we expected.

The Welsh presenter surprised everyone by exchanging vows with Phylicia in a secret ceremony earlier this month, and we have been waiting patiently to check out the gorgeous couple on their special day.

A delighted Phylicia indulged our curiosity by sharing a stunning black and white snap of the newlyweds on their big day, with the caption: “Still pinching myself one week later. Perfect day and a perfect start to forever.”

While we’re swooning over how delighted Steve and Phylicia look in the picture, we are also loving the bride’s amazing wedding day look, especially the embellished bodice on her dress.

It’s been a whirlwind few weeks for the couple, given that they only announced their engagement five weeks ago. They certainly didn’t waste any time, did they?

They look truly ecstatic in this picture. We are so happy for them, and wish them all the best in their future together.

Many couples are forced to go through periods of long distance at one stage or another. Maybe one of you has to move a few hours away for work, or you two live on totally separate continents.

Regardless of the number of miles between you both, long distance relationships can be hard work. Skype, WhatsApp and Facebook might be great but they’re no substitute for a cuddle on a lonely Monday night.

It’s not all bad though! Here are a few of the pros (and cons) of going long-distance…

1. Independence
Pro: You’re free to use your time however you want without having to consider someone else on a day-to-day basis. Many couples would kill for this freedom!
Con: You always feel like there’s a little part of you missing – in fact you’d give anything to have to factor your man into those after work plans!

2. Great sex (when you’re together)
Pro: There’s no better recipe for amazing, mind-blowing sex than having to go four months without it. You’ll barely make it home before jumping on one another!
Con: No sex when you’re not together. Enough said.

3. Absence makes the heart grow fonder
Pro: Sacrificing parts of your relationship makes you realise just how much you care for your other half. All the times you do share together in person will gain new significance, and when you finally get to live in the same place, you’ll never take that closeness for granted.
Con: When your relationship is reduced to a Skype call and a few Facebook chats every day, it can stop feeling real. There’s only so many times you can say “I miss you” before it loses all meaning.

4. Your bikini line can take a break
Pro: No point in going for an all-out Hollywood wax if there’s no-one to enjoy it, is there?
Con: That first wax after three months is HELLA painful.

5. Amazing chats every day
Pro: When you’re living together, distractions like the new episode of Love/Hate can seem far more pressing than actually having a proper conversation with your S.O. But when your whole day revolves around that phone call, you’re going to make it count!
Con: The money you spend on data and phone credit could feed a small African country.

6. Making plans for the future
Pro: Thinking about you plans down the line together takes some of the sting out of a long-distance relationship. Much as it might terrify other couples, you two will know exactly what your plan is for one/two/five years from now.
Con: It’s still a long way off. You’ll have lots of conversations along the lines of: “Well, six months is only 24 weeks, which is REALLY only 168 days.” Sadface.

7. Commitment
Pro: If the two of you can survive months or even years apart and still come out the other end a strong and happy couple, that bodes pretty well for the future. It’s a sure sign that you two are committed to making this relationship work.
Con: We see no cons with this one… enjoy it!

It’s been a rough few weeks for Jennifer Lawrence, but the actress has proved that nothing will dampen her spirits.

While promoting her latest movie, Serena, on the red carpet last night, the star showed that she is back on top form after the nude photo leak scandal – and up to her bold antics once again!

Looking nothing short of stunning in her Dior tuxedo gown, the 24-year-old couldn’t resist playing up for the cameras, pretending to pick her character’s nose on the giant billboard poster behind her!

Good old Jen, we can always count on her to provide us with a good laugh on and off camera.

 

We wouldn’t have blamed the Hunger Games actress if she had decided to throw a few stony-faced glares for her latest public appearance, given how traumatic the past few weeks have been for her.

As well as coming under intense scrutiny over her alleged new romance with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, the nude photo hacking scandal continues to haunt her, with some of the explicit snaps most recently turning up on her official Wikipedia page.

We’re glad to see that Jennifer can still have a laugh amidst the controversy surrounding her.

This couple are too cute.

Lady Gaga and her actor boyfriend Taylor Kinney have reportedly gone to very special lengths to prove their love to one another, by holding a ‘commitment’ ceremony.

Their lovely news comes just weeks after it was reported that the couple may have tied the knot, with Chicago PD star Taylor seen sporting some flashy bling on his ring finger.

But while the speculation of a wedding was shot down, news of their romantic ceremony seems to indicate that marriage may not be too far off for the couple.

Gaga and Taylor’s ceremony took place in the Joan Tratorria restaurant in New York, with family and close friends in attendance.

A source told The Daily Star: “They don’t have time to plan a wedding, so they decided they would have a small gathering to show the people they love most how committed they are to one another.”

Gaga and Taylor have been dating since 2011, having met on the set of the singer’s You and I video.

What fantastic news for the couple. They always seems so loved-up in one another’s company.

It looks like we have another celebrity feud on our hands.

This time, it’s Snoop Dogg and Iggy Azalea who are taking swipes at each other – why can’t we all just get along?

Snoop kicked things off by sharing the meme below to Instagram that carried the caption: “Iggy Azalea no makeup”.

Iggy wasn’t best pleased when she found out about the Drop It Like It’s Hot rapper’s post, and immediately hit back at him.

The Fancy singer publicly blasted Snoop on her Twitter, writing: “Why would you post such a mean pic on Insta when you send your bodyguards to ask me for pictures every time we are at shows?”

“I’m disappointed you’d be such an ass for no reason,” she added.

Could it be that Snoop is jealous of Iggy’s impressive six nominations at the American Music Awards?

Either way, we think she put him in his place.

It’s been a drama-filled few weeks for poor Iggy, with her former manager claiming that the pair were married and that he was planning to cash in when he brought divorce proceedings against her.

The Australian singer went on to dismiss the story as false.

Guys, can't we just be nice to each other?
