Despite reports that Cody Simpson and his ex-girlfriend, Gigi Hadid, were back together, it seems the singer has finally put the rumours to rest.

The singer was speaking on The Morning Show in Australia when he confirmed that he and Gigi, a model who has featured in Sports Illustrated, have broken up for good once and for all: “I guess I’m back on the market.”

The couple first called it quits back in May, following a short-lived relationship, but were later said to have reunited when they were spotted getting cosy. 

However, Cody also added "It's a little complicated" while speaking on the show, so who knows what the future holds for the couple. 

The singer is just back in his home country following a tour in Europe and says he is now going through a "career transition" – sounds like there is exciting things to come!

Reading about how mortified Lauren Goodger is about her ex, releasing that sex tape to the public, has just made us ever more adamant about how you should NEVER make one, no matter how lovely your boyfriend is. Here are ten reasons why:

Your boss could see it
At least Lauren Goodger is a celebrity – they can get away with all kinds of things and still manage to rake in some cash (just ask Kim Kardashian). Us mere mortals, however, could face some serious backlash if our bosses saw us getting our rocks off.

It won’t look good
Let’s face it, doggy style is not a good look. You’re better off not knowing the reality of what you look like during sex. Ignorance is bliss in this situation.

It won’t sound good
Have you ever listened back to a recording of yourself and been horrified at the sound of your own voice? Do you really want to hear what you sound like just before the big O? Once again, ignorance really is bliss.

Your MOTHER could see it
You’d never be able to go home again! You’d actually have to move to a different country and remove yourself from the family completely. Oh, dear God. It’s not worth the risk.

Your future CHILDREN could see it
They’ll probably be more embarrassed than you, but would you really want to do that to them?

Your future boyfriends won’t be impressed
You might not end up with the person you’re with in the sex tape, so imagine how a future boyfriend would feel if he came across it? You could be ruining the love life of future you.

He might show it to his friends
Do you really want them all watching you do THAT? We didn’t think so.

People could see it, and then comment on your performance
Talk about making you super paranoid! NO thanks!

Your Twitter account might be flooded with abuse
People really let loose on social media about what they REALLY think of you, and this will do nothing for your self-confidence.

It’s just too risky
Just don’t do it – the mortification that could ensue isn’t worth it.

Some people worry more than others, and some people are hypochondriacs. If you do most of the following, chances are you may be on of them…

1. You Have Web MD Bookmarked
You use Web MD for everything. Before Web MD you were probably a normal human being. However since you started using it you have had a mild encounter with Leprosy and Malaria.

2. A Headache is Never Just a Headache
A headache, is at best a migraine. Neither is backache just from carrying all the groceries in at once, it’s kidney problems. 

3. You Will Never Be Seen Caring for a Sick Friend
At the first sign of a cough you are gone in a puff of smoke. They are banned from your house and you proceed to disinfect everything they’ve touched. If only you had the expendable income to burn everything they’ve breathed on.

4. Public Transport is your Mortal Enemy
Buses, trains, planes. They’re all unclean! The thought of holding a railing going up the stairs makes you shiver.

5. If You Do Get Sick You Plot Revenge
If the unlikely does happen and you are plagued with the common cold, you trace your steps to figure out who was the last person that coughed in your presence.

A Plague  On Both Your Houses!!

 

6. You Want to Cry When Someone Takes a Drink of Your Drink or a Bite of Your Food
We're not talking about a complete stranger. Anyone would be taken aback if that happened. We're talking about a close friend who asks for a bite of your pizza. The idea of sharing food is alien to you.

7. Your Doctor Hates You
Your doctor would love to call in sick himself if he knew you were making an appointment. You’re even a regular at A&E.

 

8. You are the Most Insensitive Person When it Comes to Other People’s Issues
Other people are the hypochondriacs, not you. Oh no. 

 

9. You Know Exactly What GMOs, Trans Fats, Tartrazine and Triacetin are
You’re a waiter’s worst nightmare because you strongly believe that every type of food is out there to kill you.

10. Having a Friend Studying Nursing or Medicine Is The Best Thing To Ever Happen to You
You have no qualms about ringing them in the middle of the night because you’re not sure if you just slept on your arm funny or if it’s the early signs of a stroke.

11. You Carry A Mini Pharmacy Everywhere You Go
You are prepared for all scenarios. Headache, sinus, feeling bloated, feeling constipated, allergy medication, plasters, antiseptic. Of course you still need immediate medical advice too.

12. Hand Sanitizer is your Best Friend
Literally, everywhere you go, it comes with you. 

13. Handshakes Make You Squirm
This is where your bestie comes in. You try at all costs to avoid people’s filthy, germ riddled hands

14. You Know the Exact Routine of Your Bowel Movements
Any irregularity has you typing into Web MD once again.  

15. Public Bathrooms
Instead of seeing a place to relieve yourself, all you see is a pool of germs, bacteria and life altering diseases. The thoughts of using one sends you into a panic attack.

16. You Despise Handryers
Normal people don’t understand this. But you know all this machine does is make all those germs airborn. Shouldn’t have even bothered washing your hands in the first place.

 

17. You Have A 3-Strike Rule
Because going to the doctor is expensive you’ve developed a system. If you have two of either nausea, fatigue or a headache, you can go to the doctor.

18. You Wish You Could Just Get Your Appendix Out
You know it’s a ticking time bomb that must be stopped.

19. You’re Obsessed with Medical TV Shows
Whether it’s real or fiction,you are obsessed with these shows. You feel they give you the necessary qualifications to be able to self diagnose yourself and question your doctor’s qualifications.

Research has been published in The American Journal of Psychiatry that claims to have found how a specific gene reacts to stress, and apparently, this could predict whether or not a person is at risk of suicide.

Dr. Zachary Kaminsky took blood samples from living people, and found an increase in the chemical that sets off this gene in those, who had reported suicidal thoughts.

Dr. Kaminsky said that this discovery could help a lot of people: “If we can identify who is at risk, we may be able to intervene in effective ways. Notably, we could identify individuals in military populations who are more vulnerable to stress. We know they’re going to be experiencing stress when they go off to combat.”

These advances in science can’t come quick enough, Ireland had the second highest rate of suicide across Europe last year.

If you’re feeling down, remember there’s always someone to talk to

Up-and-coming singer Pia Mia has been no stranger to the tabloids recently, with her rumoured affair with Kanye West earlier this year clocking up a serious amount of column inches.

Anna Daly has volunteered herself for some ‘touching up’ this week, as part of Ireland AM’s Love Your Body week.

We wouldn’t fancy watching someone point out exactly what was wrong with our photo, and poor Anna was no different:

“Of course I felt self-conscious as they adjusted my waistline, but what was harder was showing the pictures to a focus group of teenagers from around the country, it was like they were playing spot-the-difference with the before and after pictures.

“You would not want to be over-sensitive if you’re getting photoshopped.”

Thankfully, Anna isn’t obsessed with her appearance:

“I’ve had two kids recently and my body shape has changed. I probably do need to lose a few pounds but it’s not something that keeps me up at night by any means.

“I don’t feel pressure to look a certain way. If I felt any pressure I’d be skinny.”

What do you think of her before and after pictures? Apparently the graphic designers got rid of the visible veins on Anna’s feet, slimmed her waist and face, removed a scar on her arm and altered her skin tone.

Filming for season 8 of The Big Bang Theory has been delayed further, due to contract negotiations involving five of the show's stars.

The issues are said to be due to salary negotiations for Kaley Cuoco, Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki, Kunal Nayyar and Simon Helburg.

Warner Brothers issued a statement regarding the delay, saying: “Due to ongoing contract negotiations production on The Big Bang Theory, which was originally scheduled to begin today, has been postponed.”

Uh oh, this does not sound good! We hope they can sort the issues soon and get back on our screen in usual hilarious fashion!

Mark Simpson, the UK journalist who penned the term “metrosexual” over twenty years ago, is back with an updated term for the vain men in our lives.

Introducing… The Spornosexual!

So, what exactly is the spornosexual, and could you be living with one right now? (Scary thought!)

Spornosexual seems to be a play on the words "sport," "porn" and obviously, "sexuality." But what does it actually mean in a man? 

Well, according to Simpson in an article he wrote for the Daily Telegraph, a spornoseuxal is a male who, in the age of mass social media and internet consumption, is best described as “these pumped-up offspring of those Ronaldo and Beckham lunch-box ads, where sport got into bed with porn while Mr Armani took pictures.”

You'll see them at the gym, flexing their honed muscles or perfecting their tan on the sunbeds – these guys take metrosexual to the max! 

Simpson goes on to say that the spornosexual treats their bodies as the “ultimate accessories,” meaning that it is all about the bod, not the clothes like the previous metrosexual man. These men love to be loved: “They want to be wanted for their bodies, not their wardrobe. And certainly not their minds.”

Eek, harsh much?! We’re thinking he is alluding to the likes of the Geordie Shore lads, so perhaps it’s not time to worry about your guy just yet.

You may want to confiscate the drop-it-low V-neck though, just in case.
