Just before Angelina Jolie’s Billy Bob Thornton days, the actress took to taking cocaine and heroine on a regular basis. Her drug dealer at the time captured footage of a young, scarily think Jolie in her squalid apartment while he visited with a delivery. Now Franklin Meyer has spoken out on their relationship, her usage and that shocking video.

We cannot handle how cute this is.

Mila Kunis has revealed who her very first kiss ever was and then made all of our dreams come true.

Yes, it was Ashton!

Mila is now engaged to the very first guy she ever kissed – does it get any more perfect?

The actress told W magazine: “My first kiss ever was with him on the show…and when That 70’s Show had a prom, my date for the prom turned out to be my fiancé. We can honestly say we went to prom together!”

Mila, please, you’re killing us here!

We all have experienced uncomfortable cramps when it comes to that time of the month, but for others it can be more than a little uncomfortable. Endometriosis can cause unbearable period pains and is actually more common than we realise.

If you are suffering from any of these four symptoms, make an appointment with your doctor.

Painkiller overload
If you are reaching your maximum daily painkiller intake but still can’t get relief from the pain there might be something a little more sinister going on.

Symptoms happen days or weeks before you get your period
It is not normal for cramping, diarrhoea or any other period pain to happen weeks before your time of the month.

You cancel things
Don’t just accept if you are cancelling nights out, calling in sick or being forced to stay in bed all day because of the pain, get it sorted and checked.

Going to the toilet hurts
If you notice that going to the toilet hurts a lot more during your period give your doctor a call.

There is no point enduring the pain when there might be another reason for it. Get it sorted, girl.

We’ve all heard a lot of myths and misconceptions about sex, mostly from our friends or maybe the odd google online. Mental floss has done us a great job in rounding up the truth and debunks these infamous so-called facts. Take a look.

A priest based in Donegal has told his parishioners that practising yoga, tai-chi or Reiki is “contemptible.”

Fr Padraig O’Baoill wrote in his weekly newsletter to the parishioners of Gaoth Dohair: “As followers of Jesus Christ we should not partake in things that go against our religion. Accordingly, you should not take part in yoga, thai chai or Reiki … do not put your souls in jeopardy for the sake of these contemptible things.”

A local yoga teacher in the area has reacted by saying: “I have to say that this advice seems to be coming from a position of ignorance. However, I think priests in general are sceptical of yoga and Reiki. I can see where they are coming from but I think they need to find out more about these subjects.”

Will you be foregoing your weekly yoga session?

Here are the types of guys that every girl will encounter during their lives at one point or another:

1. Overly attached
We’ve all had this one, the one that’s constantly texting you and Facebooking you to see how you are. At first, you really do like all the attention and affection, but after a while it really gets annoying and starts to creep you out. You know you have to break up with them, but you’re worried they will go crazy when you do.

2. The slob
When you first meet them, they scrubbed up pretty well and actually made an effort. Two months into the relationship they’re are so comfortable in your presence they don’t care how they look. Anytime you go over, the house is a mess and their wearing  sweatpants and a t -shirt that is way to big for them.

3. The best friend
You were drunk one night and sparks flew and  thought it was a great idea. Everything went downhill from there and you didn’t even last two weeks. You know each other so well that it’s unbearable being boyfriend and girlfriend together. All you want is to just go back to being friends again.

4. The model
They are way out of your league and you count your blessings when you’re with them. Eventually you realise how vein they are and how they have absolutely no personality. They’re amazing in bed and you can say to the grandchildren when you get older “I tapped that”, if you have that sort of relationship with your grandchildren?

5. The gym freak
They basically live in the gym and are constantly obsessing over how many carbs they had today and the amount of protein bars they ate. You always see them in sweatpants/yogapants and earphones in. They have a cracking body, but they spend more time in the gym than they do with you.

6. The car lover
They spend all their time,  money and effort on their baby, meaning their car. They are always upgrading it and getting new parts. They can never miss an episode of Top Gear and if they actually put as much time and effort into the relationship as they do with their car, you would probably still be with them.

7. Dumb and Dumber
They aren’t the brightest tool in the shed and when someone tells a joke, it takes them forever to get it. In fairness, that wasn’t the reason you got with them in the first place, but every now and then you wonder if they actually ever went to school because of some of the stuff they do is just tragic…

8. The asshole
When you first  meet them you like their attitude and how they don’t take shit from anyone, but over time you realise how bad a person they actually are. They are constantly giving out about someone and things turns bad for you if you don’t agree with who they hate.

giphy

9. The psycho
You mistake their psychotic tendencies for being a person with great energy. They’re always the first to do something crazy on a night out and after a while of being with them, they start to request to do weirder and weirder stuff in bed. They’ll end up doing the most outrageous things to show much they love you.

sammi-sammy-jersey-shore-crazy-gif10. The shy one
On the complete other end of the spectrum is that really shy person that for some reason or other you’re attracted to their shyness. You know they’re completely genuine and you don’t have to worry about them cheating on you. Although, they never voice their frustrations or talk about how they feel so you don’t really know where you stand.

11. The scab
When it comes to birthdays and anniversaries they really live off the saying it’s the thought that counts.  They say that they‘re broke, yet they  got a new phone last week. When it comes to presents, the furthest they go is getting you an empty card, not even a scratchcard…

Help-Me-Im-Poor-Kristen-Wiig-Bridesmaids-Airplane-Scene-GIF

12. The alcoholic
They are always great to be around on a night for and hour or two but after midnight they go way overboard and they will drink anything and everything. You’re the one who has to deal with the carnage after a night out and the one who pats their back when they’re puking on the street.

13. Mr. Forgetful
They can’t remember when you got together and they’ll always forget your birthday…

Oops

14. Suave and sophisticated
They have an undeniable swagger and sophistication about them and you are pulled in by their lore. Whether they’re a man or woman they will always be polite and courteous. They can be quite forward sometimes and they say exactly what they think of you. Sometimes you just don’t want to hear the truth.

tumblr_inline_mqf53xMJ0h1qz4rgp

15. The cheat
The less said about this one the better. You always had a sneaky suspicion that they were up to something behind your back. Their dubious texts, strange behavior and denial of any wrong doing. Of course, there is really only one thing to do in this situation….. Revenge?

Clueless actress Stacey Dash is not too impressed by Kanye West’s recent comments about rape, comparing the intrusion of the paparazzi to the violation of rape.

And it looks as if it wasn’t just the general public that disagreed with his comments, but celebrities too!

The actress was speaking on Fox News Wednesday when she blasted the rapper’s misuse of the word rape: “For Kanye to say rape, maybe he needs to go spend some time on Rikers Island … Go to Rikers for a while and then he’ll know what rape is. I don’t get celebrities not understanding that the paparazzi are doing their job.”

Yikes! Fighting words, Stacey!

Kanye is not the first person to compare the paparazzi intrusion to rape, with Charlize causing a storm with similar comments recently.

We all love to indulge in some fancy underwear, but according to Debenhams’ latest research, wearing your underwear as outerwear is the latest trend.

B by Ted Baker has seen an uplift of 132% in the sales of printed chemises since May with the floral garden print chemise proving most popular. Other best sellers include camisole tops, skirt slips and lacy night dresses, which women are apparently incorporating into their work-wear.

Alain Mehada, head of Personal Styling at Debenhams gave this advice for people wanting to give this trend a go: “Try pairing a silk floral cami top with a pencil skirt and jacket for a chic glamourous look or pair a slip lace dress with a pretty cardigan. Elegant sleepwear such as soft silk printed pyjama tops paired with the right trousers is a classy style and can easily be translated to office-day wear. Sophisticated and suitable for work, this catwalk trend is a hit.”

Victoria Beckham looked great in a Louis Vuitton black lace slip dress at the Wimbledon this week. So you see, Superman isn’t the only one who can rock his underwear on the outside.

Getting that wedding invitation with a ‘plus one’ can be like a slap in the face if you’re only recently single, or if you really don’t want to be single. Don’t let your lack of a date ruin what could be a great night though – you’ll regret it in the long run. Here’s how to survive a wedding sans plus one.

Look your best
If you’re comfortable in how you look, it’s one less thing to worry about. Also, you want people to be utterly shocked that someone as fabulous as you could be single.

Don’t leave early
It looks bad. You should wait at least until they’ve cut the cake, then if you still feel like you’d rather be at home hiding under your duvet, you can leg it.

Find other singletons
You’re definitely not the only one there without a date – find other singletons to have some fun with. Who knows? You could find your future husband!

Small talk
Have a few conversation starters for when you’re sitting around the table. You can talk about the dress, the location, the priest. Wedding themed chit chat is always good, for obvious reasons.

Find the oldies
When you’re looking for people to talk to, don’t avoid to older generation. More often than not, they’re great fun and have great stories. They’ll keep you entertained for hours.
