Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber have become the latest celebrities to do the Ice Bucket Challenge – a social media phenomenon where people get nominated to dump a bucket of icy water over their heads to raise awareness of Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

How exactly does this raise awareness for ALS? Who knows. It does seem to be working though as over $4 million has been raise for the charities involved. I'm sure this is why all the celebrities are doing it, and not so they can have wet t-shirts on camera.

Selena was nominated by Ryan Seacrest and Taylor Swift to get drenched, and she gamely took up the challenge, sharing the result on Instagram.

Selena posted another video afterward nominating Cara Delevingne, Suki Waterhouse and James Franco to take part in the challenge.

A few hours later, clearly social media stalking his on-again-off-again girlfriend, Justin Bieber posted his video. We can't help but feel he didn't put as much effort in however. Is that water even cold?

 

Bieber decided his nomination should go to… President Barack Obama. Yeah, I'm sure he'll get right on that.

Michael Bey is the director of some of the biggest blockbusters of our time, such as Transformers and Armageddon. He’s quite found of explosions and dramatic music – unlike the producers of Pixar’s Up who relied more on the sweet story and nice plinky plonky music to set the scene.

However, someone decided to give Up the Michael Bay treatment, and now it looks like a VERY different film! We’re not sure we like it!

It was inevitable that something as popular as Tinder would have a song written about it, but we didn't expect it to be this good.

The American indie band Miracles of Modern Science (MOMS) has teamed up with Kristin Slipp from Cuddle Magic to create a new song 'Swipe'.

MOMS say the song deals with their experiences with online dating sites and apps like Tinder and OkCupid. We can relate!

When recent Harvard graduate Nuseir Yassin went on a two-month backpacking trip around the world, he decided to reach out to strangers across the world with the help of a Rubik's Cube.

Across 11 countries, Nuseir got 84 strangers (plus one snake and one monkey) to do a single move on the puzzle, so they could collectively solve it.

Nuseir wrote about the video project:

"After graduating from Harvard College in May, 2014, I decided to backpack for two months and see what the world had to offer."

"I also wanted to solve a 3x3x3 Rubik's Cube throughout the entirety of my journey. To do so, I had one person do one move only in different locations I had travelled to. This is the final result."

There are to be even more cast changes in the long running sci-fi series as Jenna Coleman has announced she is quitting her role on Doctor Who.

Jenna – known for her years on Emmerdale as Jasmine Thomas – plays the Doctor's companion Clara Oswald, a role she first appeared in 2012. This years Christmas episode will reportedly be her last.

This comes not long after the recasting of the Doctor himself. Matt Smith stepped down as the Doctor is an episode aired last year, and will be replaced in the upcoming series.

The next Doctor will be Peter Capaldi, best known for playing sweary spin doctor Malcom Tucker in The Thick of It. The new series is set to start on August 23rd.

A series insider has said that the decision was “mutual”.

"It's important to keep the series moving and fast-paced," they explained, "and the time is just starting to feel right and the feeling is that it could be a perfect Christmas storyline."

"By the time she leaves she will be one of the longest-standing companions ever. She has been absolutely brilliant in the role but everyone agrees it is a part that should change after a period."

Jenna said that she's really happy about the move, but for the moment isn't thinking about the future.

“It's one of those jobs that will only happen once – the whole adventure that it brings. The key is not to worry about the future, and enjoy it.”

Grey's Anatomy is showing so signs of slacking in it's 11th series, as they have a new addition to the long running show.

Oscar winning actress Geena Davis will be joining the cast in the next series as a new surgeon at Grey Sloan Memorial hospital. She is reported to have an important storyline arc in the upcoming season.

Geena won her Oscar back in 1989 for Best Supporting Actress in the film The Accidental Tourist. She is most famous however for her roles in Thelma and Louise opposite Susan Sarandon, and as President Mackenzie Allen in Commander in Chief.

Other big news for series 11 (spoiler alert!) includes the rumours of marriage troubles for Meredith McDreamy, with some speculation of a divorce for the on-screen couple.

Producers have said that the upcoming series will focus heavily on Meredith, which may give weight to the rumours.

”It’s really a Meredith-centric season,” says Shonda Rhimes, creator of Grey’s Anatomy. “There’s a lot of growth. She’s lost her person. Her sister has showed up. Her husband is chafing to go someplace else."

"She’s got all these things going on. … But for me right now, it feels like it’s Meredith. I’m feeling her more acutely because she’s lost her person.”

Actor Michael Cera, famous for his roles in Arrested Development, Scott Pilgrim, Superbad and a hundred other great films, has released a surprise album.

The album, titled True That, was released on BandCamp this week and amazingly, isn't terrible. It's 18 tracks long and gives the charmingly sparse bio: “Michael Cera was born in Canada in 1988 at the tender age of zero." It's free to stream, or you can buy the album online for $7.

This isn't Michael's first try at the music biz, he's played bass for the supergroup Mister Heavenly, and played the mandolin for Weezer's 2010 album Hurley.

Speaking about his debut album, Michael seems embarrassed more than anything else.

"I didn't want anyone to take it seriously or think that I was taking it seriously by it being a big thing."

"It's there now. Now people can hear the stuff I've spent time with and care about for a long time."

The star of Sherlock and The Hobbit, Martin Freeman has apparently been banned from Twitter – by his wife.

Martin's wife, actress Amanda Abbington who also plays his wife Mary on the series, says that he would share too many unpopular opinions on the social media site.

“He will never tweet,’ says Amanda. “He would destroy his reputation.”

“He’d say something he regrets. He says things he regrets every day at home and I say, “That, right there, is why you can’t do Twitter!”

“He is very vocal about stuff so we have to be careful.”

WARNING: This is not for the faint of heart.

Katy Perry decided to get her nose pierced and, being Katy Perry, decided to share the video on Instagram for our viewing, er… pleasure?

This apparently isn't Katy's first taste of the needle, as in the video's caption she recounts that the first time her nose was pierced, she did it herself, age 13, with a safety pin.

"Last time I did this I was on my own with a safety pin & cube of ice @ 13. This time I thought it was best I left it to the pro's. Sorry mom (again)"

We feel a bit sick now.

For the second time in a year, 17-year-old Kylie Jenner has crashed her car, destroying a brand new Range Rover. She claims it wasn't her fault this time, as a woman who got cut off in traffic swerved into her.

Thankfully no one was injured, but this is the latest in a series of accidents and tickets in the reality star's very short driving career.

She crashed her first car last August, an $125,000 SUV, just 18 days after she got her driving licence. That time she caused a three-car-crash when she rear ended someone, slamming them into the car in front.

She has also received two tickets this year, one for speeding and one for having tinted windows and driving with a teenager – not allowed for minors.

We don't know if they have a points system in the States but Kylie must be pretty close to being taken off the road at this stage. And er… maybe that would be better for everyone.

Cheryl Cole didn’t always want to be a singer, in fact the newly Mrs. Fernandez-Versini actually wanted to be a ballet dancer and even made it to the Royal Ballet summer school.

However, it was here that her dreams were squashed when she felt a bit of an outcast due to her social standing.

Taking up ballet at the tender age of three, Cheryl admits she always wanted to be a ballerina but it all changed when she attended the prestigious school.

Talking about to The Times Magazine, Cheryl said: "And then I went to the Royal Ballet [summer school] when I was 9 or 10. Hated it. Squashed the dream. It wasn't me. I didn't fit in. I had to be sponsored to go there because me parents couldn't afford to send us there, and everyone else was – obviously… Basically I was a bit of an outcast."

Cheryl thinks her social standing played a part in feeling different from other pupils. "It was the first time I'd ever felt… class. I didn't know what it was. Everyone around was normal to me. There was this thing, and we were all on the same level… 

She added: "I didn't understand it. I just knew it was… different. And that they were… looking down their noses. If you like. But I couldn't express it. ‘I was out of place. I think about 9-year-old me, and I think, "That must have been hard."

Aw, we can image a little Cheryl telling her parents that she no longer wanted to pursue her dream. How sad. Although her decision to focus in on her singing has certainly paid off!
