This is pretty hilarious.

If you remember back to the good ol’ days of not having to worry about rent, or sugar or your carbon footprint, you’ll remember being scared about growing up. For all of the reason just listed.

Buzzfeed decided to ask these children what they thought adulthood was really like, and needless to say, they were right about everything.

This is a film all about a girl who doesn’t care much for hygiene, but she is very horny. Can you see where this is going?

Wetlands is based on a 2008 novel by Charlotte Roche, and it's getting great reviews at film festivals. It tells the story of 18-year-old Helen Memel who winds up in hospital after a shaving accident and has weird, trippy, sexual fantasies about her hot doctor. At one point, a plant grows out of her nether regions. Seriously.

It’s one of those films where you don’t actually want to watch, but you kind of have to. We suppose it makes a nice change from the usual Hollywood productions…. Check out the trailer to see for yourself!

Kevin Hart is engaged!

The comedian announced the exciting news on his Instagram account, writing: “She said YEEEEESSSSS…… #Happy #MyRib #iFu**ingLoveHer.”

The photo featured Kevin, looking delighted, with his wife-to-be, Eniko Parrish showing off her stunning diamond.

The proposal came on Eniko’s 30th birthday as the Ride Along actor previously shared an image with a birthday wish for his girlfriend of five years on his Instagram account: “Happy Birthday to the most amazing woman in the world. Today is your day babe & we are going to party like it’s 1999….I love you so much. I’m a better man because of you. P.S your old as sh** now lmao #Dirty30 #HappyBday #ThrowBackPic.”

This will be the second marriage for Kevin, who was previously married to comedian Torrei Hart. The couple have two children together, Hendrix and Heaven.

Congratulations to Kevin and Eniko on this exciting news!

Update: A video of Kevin's engagement was uploaded to Instagram by a friend, username mrrugs and shows the moment the actor dropped to one knee – so sweet!

He may be a household name in Ireland, and now it looks like it won’t be long before Rory McIlroy is known all over America too!

The Holywood native, who’s pretty handy with a golf club like, appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon last night alongside Tiger Woods.

The show features a hilarious game called Facebreakers, in which Jimmy and his two guests must be the first to break the glass that has their face on it…you’ll get it.

Needless to say, the winner was predicted long before the show aired and his name was actually already engraved on the trophy…!

It has been revealed that Bressie will star in an upcoming RTE TV show.

The singer, who has previously been a judge on The Voice, will feature in a show called Teenage Kicks which focuses on scouting new musical talent in Limerick.

Bressie opened up about Teenage Kicks, saying: “There’s a big rap scene down in Limerick, that’s how it ended up. It is myself, one of the lads from Fight Like Apes and a member of The Rubberbandits, so it’s following us and our work with musicians to put a band together, it was amazing.!

The show’s episodes are set to be 40 minutes long and see the The Voice judge choosing band members from over 250 auditions – phew that sounds like work!

 No doubt the addition of The Rubberbandits member will make for a few giggles!

We wonder what the show will be like – will you be tuning in? It is due to hit our TV screens this autumn. 

Meanwhile, it has also been confirmed that Bressie will be returning to our screens on The Voice. We can't wait to see who replaces Dolores O'Riordan and how they get on with our opinionated Bressie!

If you’re having a bit of a quarter-life crisis and wondering what to do with yourself, why not consider a new job? Specifically, a new job as a Doctor of Chocolate. Yes, you heard us. Doc of Choc.

Cambridge University is hiring someone for the unusual new post, starting next January. Unfortunately though, you’ll need to know a little more about chocolate than the merits of Golden Crisps versus Galaxy Honeycombs, or which Snack bar goes best with a cuppa.

The main focus of the job is to study how chocolate can be stored in warm climates… not quite Willy Wonka stuff, really.

While you will get to be around a lot of chocolate as part of the role, we’re not sure you’d actually get to eat any of it. Also, the job is for PhD students only, so that does rule out some of the chocolate fiends among us.

We really had our hopes up for a while! Hopefully Cambridge will let us know if their research project requires any chocolate tasters down the line… That is a role we would be more than qualified for!

Edele Lynch of B*Witched fame way back in the 90s, has entered the Celebrity Big Brother house – because she wants a ‘clean slate’.

“I want to go into the Big Brother house to press the reset button, clean the slate and start again.”

Yes, because no one EVER comes out of the Big Brother house with all their secrets revealed and their dignity in shreds….

She’s already off to a bad start as she’s said that people are going to hate her – especially when she’s got her period – which, by the way, WILL be happening while she is inside the house:

“I am very blunt, and sometimes too honest. If you don’t want to know how big your bum is in your jeans, don’t ask me.

“If you leave the toilet dirty, that is going to wreck my head. And if I’m at my time of the month, they’re not going to like how I react.

“That time of the month will happen in the house, yes.”

Phew, thank God we know! How else would we have coped?

Edele will be joined by Lauren Goodger, David McIntosh (Kelly Brook’s fiancé) and White Dee from Benefit Street.

Darren Sutherland’s former manager Kellie Maloney, who recently announced her sex change and will formally be known as Frank, will also be in the house.

We can’t really see Edele and Lauren hitting it off… will the claws be coming come out?!

Sofia Vergara has been going out with Joe Manganiello for two months, and now she’s been seen wearing this huge sparkler… hmmm – is that wedding bells we’re hearing?

The Modern Family star was spotted wearing the ring as she went for a walk on a sunny day – though no one is quite sure if it means a wedding is on the way, or if it just means that Sofia likes to wear really big rings on her wedding finger.

It DOES seem to match the necklace she was wearing, so there is every possibility that it just a nice piece of jewellery, presumably from her new collection for Kay Jewelers, which she's been tweeting a lot about lately – could this just be a genius PR stunt?

Sofia only split form her ex-fiancé Nick Loeb in May, citing busy schedules as the reason for their breakup. She got with Joe a few weeks later, so you’d be forgiven for thinking he was just her rebound guy.

However, it looks like Sofia is much more serious about the relationship than that, as even if Joe didn’t give her that ring, it sure is acting as a pretty big hint for him to get down on one knee!

These celebrities don’t waste any time, do they?!

Ever wondered how many bites you take per day? No, neither have we, but it seems that keeping track of how many mouthfuls of food you eat could actually be a factor in weight loss.

Most of us are guilty of eating our food too fast and gulping down meals and snacks in just a few bites. Research has shown that chewing slower and taking smaller mouthfuls can aid digestion and weight loss, but of course it’s easy to forget that when you’ve just opened the bar of Galaxy you've been craving all day.

Now, a company in South Carolina have taken things to the next level by developing a bite-counter which tracks how quickly or slowly you eat by noting your wrist movements. The Bite Monitor’s creators believe that 100 bites per day is the perfect amount if you’re trying to lose weight. 

Apparently, each bite we eat has an average of 17 calories for men and 11 calories for women… depending on what you eat in a normal day of course.

We’re not sure if we really want to know exactly how many spoons of Ben and Jerry’s we’ve just eaten to be honest, but, hey, it could be worth a try!

Huge congratulations are in order for actress Milla Jovovich – she’s expecting her second child!

The Resident Evil star took to Facebook yesterday to announce the good news:

“This was originally going to be a post to tell you how excited I am about flying to Cape Town, South Africa to begin working on Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, but… My husband Paul and I just discovered that we are expecting another baby!!!”

Yep – that’s right, Milla’s having another baby and you’re going to have to wait a while longer for the next Resident Evil. There’s no chance of anyone else filling Milla’s shoes in the film either as her husband is the director. The pair, who already have one daughter named Ever Gabo Anderson, have decided to wait until their baby is born to start filming:

“Between the stunt work and what will become my ever-expanding belly, we didn't think pregnancy and zombie killing are the best combo! Lol! I imagine the only thing I'll be killing in the near future is an endless supply of cupcakes. Yikes…”

Hey, we would choose cupcakes over zombies ANY day so we can’t really blame her! She added:

“In all seriousness though, we want to make the best movie possible and that would be extremely difficult, to say the least, in my present condition.”

Don’t worry Milla, we understand! Just promise to keep us informed on all the possible baby names ok?

Miley Cyrus is well known for her wild child antics but she has taken things to a new level with her latest project – a five foot tall homemade bong.

The 21-year-old made the smoking device from fans’ gifts, mainly brightly coloured bracelets, ribbons and toys. The creation also features fake leaves, flowers and two strobe lights. She’s not one to do things by half, our Miley.

Yesterday she took to Instagram to post this video of the crafty piece, with the caption “5 foot bong almost complete, this one is a collab with my f**king beyond kiewl fanz.” Some creative spelling there!

The singer also personalised her delightful new gadget with beads reading “Weed,” “Bangerz” and “Floyd” – the name of her dog who passed away earlier this year.

Miley has been very open in the past about her drug habits. In an interview with Rolling Stone last year, the pop star said “I think weed is the best drug on earth. Hollywood is a coke town, but weed is so much better.”

What would poor Hannah Montana think about all of this?!

It can be hard to know how much is too much when it comes to getting dolled up. If you find you feel self-conscious when wearing more formal items like heels and full skirts during the day, then you’ll love the new ‘casualising’ trend.

The word was actually coined by Jennifer Lawrence in an interview way back in 2011, when she admitted she “normally find[s] a way to ‘casualise’ anything too showy,” but fashion bloggers and celebrities have really embraced the trend recently.

Solange Knowles used a cute sweater and long jacket at New York Fashion Week to add some fun to her monochrome skirt and heels.

Check out Olivia Palermo looking classy in a fringed skirt, toned down with a sporty bomber-style jacket.

By introducing a more dressed-down accessory or piece of clothing to your outfit, you’ll avoid looking too prim and proper in that gorgeous dress or skirt.

Here’s some tips for relaxing your look:

1. Wear a loose sweater or long blazer over tailored pieces

Adding something more free-flowing can relax an otherwise formal look, making you feel more comfortable in stiff-looking skirts and trousers.

2. Inject some fun to your outfit with a statement tee

A great way to dress down a pencil skirt or a fuller skirt is to wear something brighter and more relaxed on top. Try a bright t-shirt or tank top to modernise your look.

3. Mix textures

Combining chunky-knits or embellished pieces with sheer and simple fabrics can add an element of creativity, while still keeping your outfit formal enough for work.

4. Add some colour to your all-black look

When going formal, especially at work, it can be easy to become over-dependent on blacks, greys and other muted tones. Bold colours and neons are all over the high street this season, so pick up a few more adventurous pieces to add some playfulness to your wardrobe.

5. Pair your dress with a comfy shirt

One-piece items like dresses can be hard to change up, but a soft flannel shirt does the job brilliantly. Wear it over the dress or just tie it around your waist for a look that’s perfect for weekends.
