We thought that they were rock-solid after three years together, but it has been revealed that 90210 actress AnnaLynne McCord and Prison Break star Dominic Purcell have called time on their romance.

A representative for the 27-year-old actress confirmed the sad news to Us Weekly, adding that the split was entirely amicable.

The pair began dating back in 2011, having met on the set of their action thriller movie Officer Down.

While the split has only been reported this weekend, sources are claiming that AnnaLynne may have already moved on.

The actress took to her Twitter page earlier this week to share a photo of herself at a New England Patriots match in San Diego, and is said to have travelled all the way down there to cheer on her rumoured new squeeze Julian Edelman.

“Big thank you to [Julian Edelman] for making me lose my voice SCREAMING his entire 56 yard run for a much needed TOUCHDOWN,” she wrote.

We kind of loved AnnaLynne and Dominic together, but it’s great to hear that they are still on good terms after the split.

It can be hard to transition into a cold-weather wardrobe, but one very versatile piece that you can take with you from season to season is a cropped sweater.

We know the word "cropped" instantly suggests showing some skin, which is less than tempting in the winter months, but cropped sweaters can be layered easily over shirts or dresses, or worn with high-waisted jeans or skirts for an elegant cold weather look.

Here are a few of our favourite ways to wear this A/W 2014 favourite….

1. Layered over a shirt
A relaxed and easy look that's perfect for lazy weekend afternoons. This street style queen has the right idea with a gorgeous soft grey sweater over a white button-down:

2. Matched up
Twin-sets aren't just for grannies you know! Kim Kardashian's matching sweater and pencil skirt is seriously elegant, but go for a more relaxed look with looser and less structured fabrics if you prefer.

3. Fifties style
A high waisted flared skirt is the perfect complement to a fitted and cropped sweater – how gorgeous is that pastel tartan print?

4. With high waisted jeans
Taylor goes super sleek with a fitted sweater and leather braces, but high-waisters look just as good with loose chunky knits – work this look however you like!

5. With a pencil skirt
This look is perfect for a formal occasion where you don't want to look too put-together. Mix and match prints and colours for a fun and easy look. We love Khloé Kardashians's stripey grey number!

6. Under a leather jacket
A fitted cropped sweater doesn't have to look prim and proper – add some edge to your look with a studded biker jacket like Miley's:

7. Over a dress
This fashion blogger gets the casual look just right – a great relaxed option for the office.

8. With slacks
So chic! We can only dream about abs like Vanessa Hudgens ones but we will definitely be stealing this look!

The end of the year is always a time for reflection about the months gone by. We look back on what’s happened over the last 52 weeks, we tune into all the “best of” shows and we wonder how the days came and went so fast.

December is also a month when we begin to think about the year ahead, and set new goals to replace ones that might have fallen by the wayside over the last while. We’ll definitely lose that stubborn extra stone this year, or finally get back to the gym, and we definitely WON’T be smoking/eating takeaways/getting stupidly drunk in 2015. Definitely not.

January is a great opportunity for a fresh start. As the year draws to a close it’s easy to slack off on our diet or fitness regime, or stop giving 100% at work. We say we’ll do better next year. No need to worry just yet.

But when you think about it, January is just another date on a calendar. If we really do want to make 2015 the year of self-improvement, why wait nearly three weeks to start? If our aim is to really get on top of things and start holding ourselves accountable, then why not start doing that right now?

Not only will we be giving ourselves a fighting chance at actually achieving our goals, but we’ll have a wealth of preparation behind us. So if you’re considering getting back into the gym, research prices now and check out the facilities in your area. If you’re planning a new healthy eating regime, try to exercise more restraint than usual over the next few weeks, so January’s crazy diet plan isn’t a total shock to your system.  

If you already know what you want to achieve, let tomorrow be your new start and not some arbitrary date next month. You don’t have to go into full-on dedication mode, but allow yourself to get used to the idea of a new you. It will make things so much easier in January, believe me.

Yes, a start date that just so happens to be the first day of a new year certainly has a good ring to it. But why put that pressure on yourself? If you could enter the New Year having actually made a start, no matter how small, on your 2015 goals, you’d feel so much more at ease about what lies ahead.

So let’s stop calling them New Year’s resolutions. They’re simply our resolutions, our goals and our hopes. And they can be achieved at any time, not just when the clock strikes midnight on January 1st.

It's been a sad day for Justin Bieber.

As any animal lover will know, a pet can be a hugely important part of the family – and so the singer was understandably devastated to say goodbye to his childhood dog Sammy today.

The 20-year-old shared a sweet throwback snap on Instagram of him and the gorgeous pup, with the caption, "R.i.p Sammy, you were the best puppy ever."

Two cuties!

Sammy had been living with Justin's grandparents in Ontario, Canada for the last few years, but Justin had grown up with him at home. Fans were quick to console Justin and express their sadness at the pup's passing, with the hashtag #RIPSammy trending on Twitter today.

"Rest peacefully baby boy actually so upset about this huge loss #RIPSammy love you," wrote one fan, with another adding, "He literally grew up with Justin. This is so sad. #RIPSammy."

While Sammy did appear to be a very loved family member, Bieb's track record of recent pet ownership has not been great.

The singer was criticised by animal rights groups for taking a capuchin monkey named Mally on tour with him last year and promptly forgetting about him after he was seized by German customs officers.

Justin apparently failed to present the proper vaccination paperwork for the creature, but later failed to collect his pet or send on the relevant documents. Mally was eventually moved to an animal park near Hanover.

The star also spontaneously purchased a bulldog puppy as a gift for his dad Jeremy, before leaving him in the care of dog trainer Trevor Dvernichuk and never returning.

We hope Sammy had better care than that in the last few years of his life…

If you’re a fan of HBO series, Girls, then chances are you’ve wondered what our four New York ladies and their abundance of emotional baggage would be like on the silver screen.

The answer to that question is, as we all know, ‘amazing’.

Here are just a few reasons why we need Hannah Horvath and her motley crew to do their dysfunctional thing in a cinema near us soon.

1. We might get more than a three minute rap out of Marnie.

 She has so much more to share with us, right?

2. We may find out exactly why Shoshanna doesn’t love her grandmother.

It’s been bugging us for years.

3. Maybe Jessa or Shoshanna will be ‘the wound’ in the movie version.

Ooooh.

4. Maybe Marnie and Charlie will finally have their ‘little brown babies’ together.

Well, we can dream!

5. We might find out what else ‘all adventurous women’ do.

We need to know so we can be a big, brave, adventurous one, right?

6. We might just find out if Hannah truly is the 'voice of her generation'.

Although, we kind of already know.

7. We'll definitely learn if liking someone’s 'quirky online presence' will make up for passing them an STD.

Who doesn’t need schoolin’ on that matter?

8. Maybe Hannah will discover that the point of friendship is to be 'interested in what your friends have to say.'

That'd be handy.

9. Maybe Jessa and Marnie will finally convince Hannah to wash her forehead before a big night out.

Despite Jessa thinking she doesn't want to.

10. Perhaps Hannah will learn how to behave at funerals.

She won't, will she?

Come on Hollywood, make it happen.

By now you will have heard about Sony’s cringe-worthy emails leak, in which co-chairperson Amy Pascal swapped insults about Angelina Jolie with producer Scott Rudin.

After learning how Angelina was described as a “spoiled brat with a rampaging ego”, we all told ourselves that we would give anything to be a fly on the wall at the next meeting between the Maleficent star and the authors of the insults.

Well, we didn’t have to wait too long, because the moment was captured on camera, and in very public fashion.

We can’t even imagine how much Amy Pascal was squirming when she bumped into Angelina at the Hollywood Reporter Women in Entertainment Power 100 Breakfast this week, particularly after copping a look at the actress’ expression.

It’s fair to say that Angelina has a face like thunder!

Pascal and Rudin’s comments were made in relation to a conflict over the filming of the Cleopatra and Steve Jobs films. According to the emails leaked and printed on Gawker, Jolie was unhappy that director David Fincher pulled out of the Cleopatra movie, in which she was supposed to star.

Saying that he didn’t want to waste time over the issue, Rudin wrote to Pascal: “I’m not destroying my career over a minimally talented spoiled brat who thought nothing of shoving this off her plate for eighteen months so she could go direct a movie.”

Ouch! Now, could someone send us a transcript to go with the above picture?

As every woman knows, a waxing appointment is not exactly a cause for celebration. Yes, we leave the salon silky smooth and oh-so-super-sexy, but we also have to deal with a hell of a lot of discomfort in the meantime.

If you dread your appointments, but adore the results of a good wax, then you should definitely consider some of the following hacks to make sure your beauty regime is as agony-free as possible.

Hell, we don’t have time for pain, we’re busy women.

1. Refrigerate some soothing lotion the night before your appointment and turn to it in case of an emergency later.

Future you will thank you for it!

2. Pop an over-the counter painkiller about half an hour before you’re due to hop up on that table.

You, girl, are ready for this.

3. Do NOT schedule a waxing appointment when you’re due your period because your sensitivity to pain is heightened at this time of the month, however your tolerance to pain is at its highest a few days after your period!

Bring it ON!

4. Apparently our pain threshold is at its highest between 3 and 5pm every day girls, so get booking an afternoon session!

No, a morning appointment doesn't suit me unfortunately.

5. Avoid using scented body creams, working-out or wearing restrictive clothing for about 24 hours after your waxing session.

You do NOT want your perfectly smooth skin ruined by an eruption of pimples due to misuse of lotions or excessive sweating from a tough work-out.

If you follow these tips, you will have done everything in your power to make the appointment as painless and stress-free as possible. Go you!

It looks like former X Factor star Matt Cardle has found love just in time for Christmas.

According to reports, the singer has been cosying up to glamour model and Celebrity Big Brother star Casey Batchelor.

A source told the Mirror that Matt and Casey struck up a flirtation at an event last month and have been on a string of dates together since.

The eyewitness observed that the pair looked very smitten as they hit a nightclub together recently, telling the newspaper: “They were snogging and giggling.”

Very saucy!

While Casey did post an Instagram photo of herself and Matt together two weeks ago, neither star has come out and addressed the dating rumours.

This isn’t the first time that Matt has found himself at the centre of romance rumours with a well-known face. Last Christmas it was rumoured that he was seeing Mel C, with the pair putting on a very flirtatious show for the cameras after the release of their duet, Loving You.

We love a bit of romance, so we say good luck to them!

Every month we tell ourselves it will be different, but every month it’s the same.

Sometimes it’s through no fault of our own and other times it’s most definitely our own fault.

Girls, we’re talking here about the inevitable ‘last week before payday’ panic.

Some weeks you might just have a lot of unavoidable outgoings; gym membership, doctor’s appointments, car insurance, birthday dinners, wedding presents – all of which leave you scrimping, saving and longing for the moment you can check your bank balance without cringing.

And then there are the other months you just couldn’t resist that tartan cape, spent three weeks living off instant noodles as a result and didn’t even THINK about logging into your online banking.

Here are ten ways to know that payday is just around the corner

1. Your public transport fund can only be found down the side of the couch or in the pockets of old handbags.

Two euro and… a button!

2. You pretend to scoff at the idea of a takeaway coffee and an almond croissant.

But you're fooling no one.

3. You consider a plate of fried onions and three pasta shells a legitimate dinner.

Add salt to taste.

4. You wait for the three cent change you’re due when purchasing an ‘Eat in the next twelve seconds or die’ sandwich.

I’ll thank you not to judge me.

5. You glance at old bus tickets you come across in case there’s any change on them.

Possession is nine tenths of the law.

6. You wonder about the credit union account your parents opened for you when you were little.

Didn’t I have a supersaver squirrel account or something when I was six, mam?

7. The idea of casual midweek drinks is actually laughable.

Hahahahaha!

8. Necessities like toothpaste and facewash suddenly become luxury items.

I’ll just use this old bar of soap that’s been here since I moved in, I suppose.

9. You question your past shopping habits and find yourself horrified by your choices.

I spent 88 euro on accessories in Penneys and I have no food to eat?

10. You spend the hours leading up to your wages hitting your account writing lists of all the unnecessary beverages, accessories and jackets you’re going to buy.

And the cycle continues.

Being a member of the most famous family in the world definitely has its downsides, as Kylie Jenner has proven with her latest social media posting.

The 17-year-old’s exhaustion with the constant media speculation surrounding her rumoured romance with rapper Tyga was clear as she took to Twitter to address the latest stories doing the rounds.

Indeed, we could practically hear her sighs of frustration as she responded to the latest rumour claiming that she is pregnant and planning to elope with Tyga.

“I’m not trying to become a rapper, I’m not getting married, and I’m not pregnant….,” tweeted the reality star.

Kylie has found herself at the centre of rumours involving not only her romantic life, but also her appearance, and it seems that her patience is wearing very thin at this stage.

Recently the star took to Instagram to blast those who suggested she had undergone cosmetic surgery on her lips, insisting that her pumped-up pout is the result of clever makeup tricks.

Just block it all out, Kylie!

We can already hear the sound of thousands of men’s hearts breaking all over the world.

It looks like model and actress Emily Ratajkowski is officially off the market after stepping out with her new man.

The Gone Girl star, who split from boyfriend Andrew Dryden earlier this year, has found romance again, with musician Jeff Magid.

A source told Us Weekly that the pair have enjoyed a string of dates and appear to be quite smitten with one another.

After spotting the pair enjoying the Bombay Sapphire Artisan Series Finale party on December 5th, the source confirmed that they were very much an item, reporting that they were "joined at the hip”.

Emily has had quite a hectic year after rising to fame for her cameo in Robin Thicke’s controversial Blurred Lines video. As well as killing it in her modelling career, the 23-year-old also played the role of Andie in Gone Girl.

It sounds like she can add blossoming romance to her list of wins in 2014!
