Wow. Lottie Moss really, really hates “chavs”.

The model – younger half-sister of the iconic Kate – is known for her unashamedly opinionated tweets, and just couldn’t resist letting her feelings on the grammar skills of some of her social media followers known.

Taking to Twitter, the 16-year-old ranted: “When chavs put status’ I honestly don’t understand half of what they’ve put…The grammar and spelling is shocking.”

There you have it folks. Be sure to have your spellcheck turned on the next time you want to broadcast to Twitter – Lottie could be watching!

Of course, the model’s latest tweets shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. Lottie has previously made her feelings towards chavs well-known, once declaring: “I hate chavs, I hate everything about them, I hate their loud voices and the words ‘init’, ‘phat’, ‘fam’, etc.”

So just to confirm, the chav life is not for Lottie.

Lottie has an ever-growing and impressive modelling portfolio to go with her loud opinions. The pretty blonde recently scored a campaign with Calvin Klein Jeans, going on to sign with the prestigious Storm Model Management agency.

We’re sure we can look forward to more of Lottie’s interesting insights as her career continues to skyrocket!

Sometimes a few kind words of advice is all we need to let us know that things will be okay. And who better to offer life tips than those who've already gone through it all themselves?

Radio presenter Riyadh Khalaf took to the streets of Dublin to ask some of Ireland's pensioners what knowledge they would pass on to their 16-year-old selves, if they had the chance.

"Be kind," "Don't worry" and "Follow your dreams" are just some of the messages they shared.

Weeping? Us? Never.

Dedicated One Direction fans will remember that time the band got stuck inside a store due to the hordes of fans literally pressing themselves up against the door (it was so scary).

So we just cannot believe what Niall Horan got away with doing last night.

The Mullingar man took to social media to let the world know that he was on the London Tube, even uploading a selfie – and there is not a frantic, screaming fan in sight!

What is going on in the world?!

Maybe it was too late in the night for Niall’s most dedicated fans to be out and about, or maybe everyone learned a valuable lesson about privacy after what happened to Harry Styles over the weekend.

There were some pretty furious fans on the rampage yesterday, when a photo of a worse-for-wear Harry vomiting at the side of a road showed up online, with the photo then going viral across social media and news websites.

It’s comforting to know that Niall can be a “normal” person and hop on public transport without being mobbed by crazed fans.

Also, on a side note, we are loving his stripey shirt!

Five hot singers isn't enough for One Direction it seems, as the group have taken on a new band member.

Well, kind of! 

Actor Danny DeVito is set to star in the lads' new music video for Steal My Girl, and he was definitely looking the part on set! Niall tweeted this picture with the excited message, "Cant believe that Hollywood Royalty @DannyDevito is in the steal my girl video! what a legend!"

The boys just look in awe of him – very cute!

Danny himself seemed delighted to be on set with Harry, Niall and co, sharing a couple of snaps of his own on social media:

The Matilda actor even got 1D involved in his famous Trollfoot "project", a set of photos all featuring his oh-so-pretty right foot:

Interesting…

Steal My Girl is the lead single from the lads' hotly anticipated album Four, which will be released on November 17th. We can't wait!

The cause of death of former child star Skye McCole Bartusiak has been revealed.

The actress was found dead at her home in Texas back in July. She was aged just 21.

At the time it was thought her death could be linked to a medical history of epileptic seizures, but a new report shows the cause of death as "an accidental mix of painkillers and muscle relaxants".

The results also showed evidence of difluroethane in her system – an inhalant found in household products which is used to get high by "huffing."

Skye's body was found by her boyfriend in the garage apartment next to her parents' Houston home. She was sitting up in bed, leading her mother to believe she may have had a seizure and choked.

The young woman was best known for her role alongside Mel Gibson in The Patriot in 2000, aged seven. Her mother described her as "a kind and really beautiful girl" who had "lived such an amazing life."

We are all familiar with Doctor Google – our attempt to diagnose our headaches for free which inevitably tells us we have terminal brain cancer.

Now however Google are trying to give access to real medical advice. The feature is part of their Helpouts feature, a video service which connects you to experts who can help with problems or teach new skills.

Now when you Google a symptom, the site will offer to connect you to a trained medical professional through your webcam.

A Google spokesperson explained the new move.

“When you're searching for basic health information — from conditions like insomnia or food poisoning — our goal is provide you with the most helpful information available. We're trying this new feature to see if it's useful to people.”

It could be a great resource for people who don’t have the time or money to get to a doctor in person for every little worry!

Amanda Bynes will be kept on psychiatric hold for two more weeks, it has been revealed.

The actress was taken to Las Encinas hospital in Los Angeles last Friday, immediately after she touched down at LAX airport from New York. It's believed she thought she was being taken to a hotel but that her parents had arranged for her to be taken directly into medical care.

Just hours before being admitted to the treatment facility last week, Amanda took to Twitter to post a series of shocking allegations about her father, claiming he had verbally and physically abused her as a child and had "fondled himself" in front of her many times.

She then deleted the tweets and admitted her father had never done any of those things, but that a microchip in her brain was the cause of her confusion:

The actress' parents are said to be relieved that she will receive the treatment she needs. "They're happy she's safe and that Amanda is finally getting some help," said a source.

The star is being held under section 5150 of the California Welfare and Institutions Code, which allows for mentally ill people who are a danger to themselves or others to be taken into care against their will.

Ever had one of those nights where you spend the entire evening looking after a friend who just got too drunk, too fast? Forget dancing to Beyoncé, you're filling them with pints of water and trying to convince them it's time to head home.

The developers behind a new project called Vive hope to stop nights getting to that messy stage. The Vive wristband links you wirelessly to your group of friends, and each of your heartbeats and hydration levels are monitored throughout the night. 

The bracelet vibrates every so often and in order to stop it, you're required to give it a little squeeze – the idea being that if you've had one too many G & Ts, you won't even notice the vibration.

If you or one of your friends doesn't "check in" with a squeeze of the band, the other members of your group will be alerted and can then find whoever's missing using GPS on their phones.

Could be good idea for big nights out – as long as you haven't ALL overdone it on the tequila!

In possibly the strangest news of the day, something very weird is happening to Hermes Birkin handbags, and customers are not happy.

According to reports today, customers have been returning their notoriously expensive arm candy, complaining that the leather smells like marijuana!

Yes, you read that correctly.

Concerns were raised when a ‘badly tanned’ collection of the handbags – some of which can cost up to $20,000 – arrived at a boutique, with customers later returning the luxury items over the nasty smell.

Before anyone starts to think that there might be some funny business going on at the Hermes factory, there is a perfectly reasonable explanation!

Apparently – due to aforementioned ‘bad tanning’ – the leather used to create the bags can sometimes give off an unpleasant smell when placed in direct sunlight.

A source told Page Six that the famous fashion house are pretty mortified about the whole thing, saying: “The bags are being sent back to Paris as nobody knows quite how to deal with this embarrassing situation.”

The Hermes bag, beloved of celebrities such as Victoria Beckham and Kim Kardashian, is one of the most hotly-coveted items among fashion lovers, so we doubt this will do much to tarnish the brand’s reputation.

In her career-high interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Taylor Swift admitted that one or two of the tracks from her new album, 1989, would be about her failed relationship with Harry Styles.

Rumour had it that Out of the Woods would be the first song to clue fans in on what happened to break that dream couple up, and we’re giving you your very first listen here!

Taylor says that Out Of The Woods explains exactly what it's like to be in a fragile relationship.

"This song is about the fragility and kind of breakable nature of some relationships. This was a relationship where I was kind of living day to day, wondering where it was going, if it was going to go anywhere, if it was going to end the next day. It was a relationship where you kind of never feel like you're standing on solid ground."

Eek, sounds like dating Harry can leave a girl in a constant state of panic.

Some good has come from this split though, with Taylor confirming the two have managed to be friends (read: not kill each other at unavoidable public events) and she says that Out of the Woods is a personal favourite out of her long list of self-written hits.

"Out of the Woods is one of my favorite songs on this album. I wanted to make sure that these songs sounded exactly the way that the emotions felt when I felt them."

Much as we love Renée Zellweger, the first two Bridget Jones films would have been nothing without Colin Firth and Hugh Grant.

Now though, it seems we might have to suffer the final instalment of the series without the two lads!

It was revealed last year that Colin would not be appearing in the third film – a decision that was surprisingly not his but author Helen Fielding's. Colin's character Mark Darcy was (*spoiler!*) killed off for the third Bridget Jones book, Mad About the Boy.

And now to make matters worse, it seems Hugh Grant, who played the sleazy yet charming Daniel Cleaver, has pulled out of the third and final movie entirely. This must be a big shock to producers, as Hugh's character features quite heavily in the third book, and even turned out to be "a pretty good guy," according to Helen.

Back in 2012, writing began for Bridget Jones' Baby, but the film has yet to be picked up by a studio. And if Hugh's comments are anything to go by, the script isn't all that great. "I think they’re going to go ahead and do it without Daniel," he said in a recent interview. "The book’s excellent, by the way, but the script is completely different — well, the script as I last saw it a few years ago."

Very sad altogether! We kinda feel like this right now…
