It hasn’t been a great time for Justin Bieber lately. His relationship with Selena Gomez seems more complicated than ever, and the singer always manages to get himself in some sort of  trouble with the law.

And now it seems that Justin Bieber will be charged with a misdemeanour vandalism for egging his neighbour’s house.

The L.A. County District made the decision this morning, after footage emerged of the singer staging the attack last January.

Justin Bieber has now accepted a plea deal to avoid jail time and has agreed to a year of probationary community service.

A prosecutor who investigated the case and apparently told the victim of the attack: “If this isn’t a felony, nothing is.”

But despite Justin’s plea, the singer’s legal team are still planning to plead a no contest to the charges.

Holidays are great but sometime we just want a little more than a week in the sun, drinking piña coladas by the pool.

If it’s adventure that you are after you need to do at least one of these things abroad before your sense of adventure disappears.

Volunteer
Teach English in a foreign country, save the turtles in Costa Rica or build houses in South Africa, whatever you do, volunteering abroad will give you a sense of achievement and fantastic memories that will stay with your forever.

Work abroad
Volunteering abroad can be pretty hard on the pocket, unless you are pretty amazing at fundraising, so why not work abroad? If you are just out of college you can get a one year work visa for the US or a J1 if you are still in college. If the States isn’t your cup of tea, go for a two year visa to Canada or head down under for a couple of years.

Learn a language
Remember the craic at Irish college? You even managed to come home with a cúpla focal. Europe is so accessible in terms of college and work and you have such a huge choice of location. Why not head to Spain and learn Spanish or Germany? Or, if you are looking for a real adventure, grab a flight to Poland.

Trek
A trek is a great way to be in the open for longer than it takes to get from one bar to the other. The Inca trail in Peru is a four day trek, or why not do the Camino de Santiago if Peru is out of budget? If you want to go further afield, why not put the Himalayas on your to-do list?

We can’t help but feel even more excited, after the release of the latest trailer for Hunger Games: The Mockingjay.

The teaser starts off like the previous one with a message from President Snow, who’s now joined by Jena Malone’s Johanna Mason.

But the broadcast is soon overtaken by a creepy interruption from a member of District 13.

Christian Bale obviously took a liking to being a hero when he played Batman, because he’s back in a new film called Exodus: Gods and Kings and he’s playing Moses. Yes, Moses from the Bible.

Will he be victorious as he battles for his people’s survival? Who knows?!

Well, we all know really, but still, it looks like it’s going to quite the epic battle film! Watch the trailer below for a glimpse of what’s to come.

According to reports, Miley Cyrus has been secretly dating her Bangerz album producer Mike Will Made-It, for the past nine months.

“Everybody in her circle knows they’ve been together this whole time.”

Miley apparently started a relationship with the 25-year-old producer, soon after splitting with her fiancé Liam Hemsworth, in September 2013.

Insiders have said that the couple are “pretty serious” and Mike has even won over Cyrus’ mum, Tish.

“Tish says he’s part of the family.”

Sources went on to say that Miley made the point to meet up with Mike during her Bangerz tour and to “talk and text all day, every day.”

Another witness revealed that the couple were “all over each other” at a BET Awards bash on June 28.

Well we didn’t see this one coming, we wonder what Liam thinks about this?

After living at home, moving out can be a shock to the system, especially if you never stepped foot in the kitchen other than to pour yourself a bowl of cereal.

It is not just a book of recipes though, it has an abundance of advice on how to shop for certain ingredients, how to cook them, what flavours work together, how to keep your cool when it comes to cooking, tips on what’s in season and when, the best way to entertain and principles on how to become a better cook. This will become your best friend if you are a little inexperienced when it comes to the kitchen.

With over 90 gorgeous recipes, including braised chicken, salted caramel popcorn fudge, cherry fool, strawberry shortcake and chilli con carne to name a few you will never be short of ideas of what to cook. Callum hits all the right foodie spots, covering big breakfasts, exciting salads, foolproof desserts and our ever favourite time-saving dinners.

Founder of Sprout Cooking School, Callum also came second in the second series of Masterchef Australia and travels around the continent sharing his love of food and his passion for cooking.

Beauty is a mass of ever fluctuating changes of what is in and what is so last year. With so many changes happening it can be hard to keep up.

However, right now all you need to do is focus on these five beauty trends, the rest can wait until next week’s changes.

Bed head
Messy top knots, loose braids and less-than-perfect ponies are so hot right now that you would be forgiven for putting your hairbrush away for a few weeks.

Eyeliner
Eyeliner has never really gone out of fashion, but this season it’s all about heavy liner. While it’s not particularly practical for the office, bang on layers of the stuff when you are heading out.

Nail art
There are so many options for nail art that you must have been hiding under a rock not to have noticed it slowly creeping onto the scene. You can either go free hand, invest in a stencil or buy stick on ones. Either way you’ll be bang on trend if you have funky art on your nails.

Pink lips
Whether you go for a pale or bright tone, you need to invest in a good pink lipstick. No doubt red will be back on trend in the winter so don’t throw out that classic colour just yet.

Green nail polish
Green polish looks great with a tan. Invest in a light, pale colour, a bright neon one or a subtle teal. There are so many options out there you will literally be spoilt for choice.

There are good and bad things about everything – relationships included!

Good: You Can Do What You Gosh Darn Like

3573902_o

You can go do literally do whatever tickles your fancy. Whether it’s as elaborate as travelling the world, dress whatever way you like, to watching E! News without him bitching to change the channel.

Bad: Spiders

mdn

“OH JESUS GET IT AWAY!” You’re on your own there…

Good:  More Time To Focus On Your Professional Ambitions

Started from the bottom

Get rich or die tryin’

Bad: You’re Surrounded By Love Songs

#girlpower

It seems that instead of embracing every new love song that comes out, you find yourself actually realizing how much you can’t relate to most songs anymore. You’ll soon find yourself listening to music which provides female empowerment, and enjoy that a lot more.

Good: Crazier Life Scenarios

tumblr_mm6nn7b77g1rum5i0o1_500

You never thought you’d end up at some random dark underground rave at 6am in god knows where with god knows who. But you are and you’re having a blast!

Bad: Well, Crazier Life Scenarios

gif8_1397739826

“So and so has tagged you in 1 million photos”. What have you done?

Good:  More Snoozing Space

tumblr_mcf0xicfx11qlosn9o1_500

You can now starfish in peace with all the duvet you ever dream off. Livin’ the life.

Bad: Lack Of Spooning/Forking

tumblr_llspu2An4h1qjgw6ko1_500

We all love a good cuddle here and there. Those days are gone, it’s just you, your pillow which you wrap your body around and that gift vouchers for Ann Summers.

Good: You Are You’re Own Critic

843051867Whether it’s your own appearance, your personality or major life decisions, there’s no one else to give the final verdict apart from you. This in result is mega-empowering.

Bad: Creeps, Creeps Everywhere

creeps, creepy everywhere

A lot of guys think it genuinely okay to inform you that he loves how your bosom looks and assume that because your cleavage is on show that you have no doubt in your mind that you will sleep with anyone.

Good: All Your Hard Earned Cash Goes On You

Fuck Love

You may not be rolling in cash but you find that you have more money to play around with.

Bad: “Are you seeing anyone?”

Are you seeing anybody

This is always an awkward question; if you not seeing someone than you’ll receive a pitiful face and a talk about how “he is out there.”. Or if you are seeing someone, you can’t say it without sounding like you’ve been planning your wedding together.

 Good: You Become Closer To Those Who Never In A Million Years Would Be Your Friends

ohh friend

This usually happens on the steps of some building close to whatever nightclub you went to that night. It’s 5am and you find yourself having a full on DMC with a girl who you kind’ve know but never took the time to as you usually would leave the club several hours previous with your boyfriend. YAY NEW FRIEND!

Bad: You Miss Having A Romantic Connection With Someone

Ewan

As much as you do enjoy the company of pizza, you have the best friends in the world and spooning your dog has not just become acceptable but immensely enjoyable it is just not the same. The desire to be held and admired by a special someone can get a tad overwhelming, especially after watching Moulin Rouge for the third time this week.

Good:  You Can Eat/Fart/Burp Whenever You Want

the+little+mermaid+dicovers+pizza.+i+wanna+be+where+the_b3a2d8_3648273

The sense of relief when you don’t have to worry about what kind of wind you about to realise into the atmosphere. You can just do it, continue devouring that 20e meal deal from Dominos and follow it up by belching the alphabet.

 Bad: Having To Do Everything Yourself

waah

Having to do everything for yourself can get really really annoying. Your tired, you’re hungover and a fry won’t make itself. It’s hard not having someone there to ask really nicely to do it for you *puppy eyes*.

Good:  Flirt With Whomever You Like

flirt

There are sometimes in your life when an incredibly good looking man wanders into your life. You’re convinced that he must be from heaven as someone that looking cannot be human and for whatever reason he’s got his eyes on you. Time to be cool, have the bants and stare at this absolute beauty.

Bad: It Been A While So You Forget How To Flirt

bad flirting

Other times you can be a bit rusty, or immensely intimidated. Either way you’ll find yourself desperately trying to keep composure and not appear like a mentally insane patient who decided to escape from the asylum and go to Coppers.

Good: Life Is One Adventure After Another

YAY

Though all the dramatical moments, lonesome nights and major life events you know that being single in your 20′s is an absolute blast. Life is full of opportunities, every night out is great craic and you can’t remember the last time you went home before the lights went up.
