Lady Gaga is not exactly the shy and retiring type, so we were not one bit surprised to see that she recorded her Thanksgiving video from her bed.

The star took to Instagram to share a video she recorded between the sheets, with boyfriend Taylor Kinney making his presence known!

The singer looks fresh-faced and beautiful as she addresses her fans: “Happy Thanksgiving, little monsters. I love you so much and there’s nothing that I am more thankful for than having you in my life.”

Just as the Bad Romance singer goes to blow a kiss for the camera, she gets the swift blow of a pillow to the head – and there is no mistaking who delivered it!

Gaga can’t contain her laughter as she exclaims: “Ouch! Taylor!”

Let’s not deny it – these two are pretty adorable.

They found love on last year’s X Factor, but it looks like it’s all over for 2013 finalists Tamera Foster and Sam Callahan.

According to reports, it was 17-year-old Tamera who called for the split, after a year together, in order to focus on her career.

While she reached the quarter-final in last year’s competition, Tamera was swiftly signed up to Simon Cowell’s record label Syco.

Now, it has emerged that Tamera was told to break it off with Sam because being linked to another contestant may damage her quest for chart success.

A source told The Sun: “Tamera had strong feelings for Sam, but she is also very ambitious. It wasn’t her intention to hurt him, but she knew it was time to move on. Sam is moving on with his career and is still very ambitious so it just wasn’t going to work.”

It sounds as though we can look forward to some new music from Tamera very soon, with the star recently teasing big plans for 2015.

Taking to Twitter to address her fans, Tamera wrote: “Thank you for being so patient, I’m taking my time so I can give you the best! I won’t let you down. 2015. One love.”

We hope both singers are okay after the split!

Last week it was revealed that Made in Chelsea's Stephanie Pratt was indeed seeing Josh Shepherd – a close friend of her ex and co-star, Stevie Johnson.

We doubt poor Stevie had a lot to be thankful for yesterday as Josh shared these pictures of him and Steph celebrating Thanksgiving together with his family:

To make matters worse, the couple have been getting seriously cosy together on social media over the last couple of days. Earlier this week, Stephanie posted this snap to Instagram with the caption, " we woke up like this":

Josh also shared a similar couch snap the day before, saying, "she's gone all shy…":

Okay, we get that these two are smitten, but talk about rubbing things in Stevie's face!

Things really came to a head on Monday night's episode of Made In Chelsea, when Stevie confronted Steph about her relationship with his ex-best pal. When she confessed that she really did like Josh and that it wasn't just a rebound thing, Stevie then cut all ties with the pair, telling Josh that he "shouldn't have gone there." Awkward.

Despite a tumultuous couple of weeks on the show, Stevie took to Twitter last week to reassure fans that he was doing okay:

We hope he finds a new lady soon!

X Factor finalist Fleur East has been one of the standout performers on this year's show, but she has let her talent do the talking so far, preferring to keep her personal life out of the spotlight.

Although she did admit that there "might be someone" special in her life, Fleur refused to dish any further details to the press.

Now though, her secret boyfriend's identity has been revealed. The singer has been seeing French fashion designer Marcel Robin for quite a while and things are "definitely serious," according to an insider. 

"She is very proud of him, but has been keeping his name a secret in a bid to protect him from the publicity the show has given her," added the source. 'It has been difficult but, because Marcel understands, it hasn't created any tension."

Marcel is no stranger to the limelight, though – his fashion label, Elevate London, has been worn by the likes of Rita Ora and Jason Derulo. And although Fleur has kept her man's identity under wraps, she has in fact worn a number of his designs on the show, too.

With just three weeks to go until the X Factor final, Fleur has beaten Italian singer Andrea Faustini to become the bookies' favourite to win. Although Andrea was hotly anticipated to be this year's winner, his outburst after last Sunday's results show has left many worried if he may be crumbling under the pressure.

Our generation has been afforded so many more opportunities than our parents before us. We can travel across the world at the drop of a hat (provided we have a few quid), we can have a cross-continental video chat simply by pressing a few buttons, and we can discover exactly what’s going on all over the world with a few quick scrolls on our smartphone.

Our little bubble can be as big or as small as we want it to be. It can stretch across the globe, or it can be confined to our couch, a onesie and the TV. While it’s truly amazing and eye-opening to have the freedom to be part of anything, at any time, that open door also comes with a few problems.

If you’re the kind of person who hates being left out of a conversation, or hates missing even the smallest of events with friends, you’ve definitely experienced FOMO at one point or another. Let’s face it, you probably experience it at least once a day.

Maybe you have work to catch up on, or are desperate for a few minutes to yourself, or maybe you just don’t have the funds. Whatever valid reasons you have for why you really shouldn’t be attending that dinner/house party/cocktail night, it’s impossible to ignore the little voice in your head that says, “but what if you miss out on something AMAZING?”

As the generation that has so many opportunities for discovery and exploration at our fingertips, it almost feels shameful to say “no” to an invitation. Why stay in for a quiet night when we could be out and about again, meeting new people and having incredible experiences?

Sometimes though, a reality check can go a long way. Yes, we might miss out on a life-changing experience at that gig/cinema trip/lunch, but in all likelihood, we probably won’t. All it will have resulted in is that we’ve now spread ourselves too thin and let ourselves down in other ways – by not getting enough sleep, by losing focus at work, or by missing out on family time.

As much as we need social experiences in our lives, we also need to maintain some sense of stability and balance. By rushing around trying to see everyone and discover everything that’s out there for us, we only end up missing out on the things that matter most – contentment and fulfilment.

So tonight, why not skip that invite for drinks that you really can’t afford a month before Christmas, and snuggle up with a cuppa and the Late Late Toy Show? Allow yourself to spend quality time alone or with family. Don’t stress about what you’re missing out on in the big bad world – just get settled in the moment and enjoy it.

Actress Tara Reid was enjoying some family time in Palm Springs yesterday over the Thanksgiving break. But some of the shots she shared on social media led to worried comments from fans about her increasingly slender frame.

The comments began when the American Pie star shared a snap of her standing at a window wearing only a pink and turquoise bikini. Although she seemed delighted to be relaxing in the sun, captioning the picture, "Visiting my parents house in Palm Springs for thanksgiving before the turkey," her followers soon began to express concern over her thin shape.

"You are too skinny," said one, while another comment read, "please get this girl a sandwich."

However other fans were quick to defend the 39-year-old actress, with one writing, "Her weight is her business. Stop being so judgmental. You don't know her story."

Tara didn't seem bothered by the comments, posting another message on Twitter later that day which read, "feeling good tonight."

She was clearly enjoying a relaxing day – even skipping out on evening arrangements with friends as she slept off her Thanksgiving dinner:

The actress has always had a slim frame and has defended her weight in the past, however her shape has drastically slimmed down over the last number of years. Recent snaps of her getting ready for Halloween in a short flapper-style dress also led to concerned messages from fans:

We hope she is doing okay!

Niamh Geaney sat down with chart toppers Sheppard who performed in Ireland as part of their European tour. This indie pop band all the way from Australia has dominated airwaves with their track Geronimo, even managing to knock Pharrell Williams' ‘Happy’ off the top spot in the charts. Our beloved Ellen De Generes is also a huge fan inviting the group to perform live on her chat show. Hear what the guys have to say on the Irish, touring with family and making it big in the US.

You'd be hard-pressed to find someone who doesn't respect, revere or just downright adore actor Morgan Freeman.

If we keep trying, we may be as cool, calm and collected as him one day, but until then we'll just remind ourselves why it's totes normal to want to be a 77-year-old male actor.

Here are just five reasons for channelling your inner Morgan

We want a voice as comforting as hot chocolate on a winter’s night, just like him.

We want people to say our voice sounds like the voice of God, just like they do about him.

We want people to create memes about how amazing we are, just like they do for him.

We want people to attribute touching, thought-provoking quotes to us whether we said them or not, just like he gets.

We want to star in critically-acclaimed Oscar-winning movies, just like he has.

Honestly, is it too much ask?

Thanksgiving Day is supposed to be a quiet time of rest and relaxation with the family.

So we can understand Drew Barrymore’s frustration when hers ended in a spot of trouble with the law!

The actress found herself slapped with ticket for jaywalking while she crossed the road after an early morning yoga class in Beverly Hills.

Of all the things to be told-off for, Drew!

The 39-year-old was seen playing with her hair nervously while a police officer took down her details, before presenting her with a fine.

It seems that Drew wasn’t quite so put out by the incident, however, as she later broke into a dance for awaiting paparazzi.

Well, that’s one way to shake off your troubles!

Drew has been a busy woman of late, having recently launched her own perfume range.

The star shared a sneak peek of the ad campaign for her scent ‘Cherished’ earlier this week, which she revealed will feature her eldest daughter, Olive.

Everyone was surprised to see Gemma Collins throw the towel in so early on her appearance in I’m A Celebrity, but the reality star has finally revealed the truth behind her decision.

In an interview on ITV’s This Morning, the TOWIE star today said that she had suffered an ‘horrific ordeal’ just 24 hours before leaving to participate in the show.

While Gemma could not go into detail due to an ongoing police investigation, she was visibly emotional as she recalled the traumatic event.

“I had been through an horrific ordeal 24 hours before I left for Australia. I was in so much shock, shock trauma,” she said.

Saying that she was heartbroken at having to leave the show so early on, the 33-year-old admitted she knew deep down that she wouldn’t be able to endure the task ahead of her.

“I have wanted to go into the jungle for three-and-a-half years – it’s the job I’ve wanted my whole life,” she said, adding, “The TV producers knew something had gone on but I covered it up.”

The star went on to confirm that she donated the fee she received for her stint on the show to charity.

Poor Gemma, we hope she’s okay!

There is nothing quite as relaxing as a long, hot soak in the tub. It’s the perfect antidote to a stressful, tiring day and we all need to indulge more often!

If you’re more used to a quick shower every morning, then you’re really missing out on this stress-relieving treat.

Why not take some time to prepare a bubble bath for yourself and reap the benefits!

We almost always put more effort into experiences for someone else, than ourselves. So, imagine you’re trying to treat your friend or other half to a relaxing, pampering session, but instead provide yourself with all the lovely treats you’d provide them!

Atmosphere
If the bathroom is cold or all you can hear are creaky pipes above you, then chances are reality won’t live up to expectations.

Make sure your bathroom is nice and toasty before you take the plunge and try to have some relaxing sounds playing in the background. Our personal favourite is a little Enya, but hey, it’s up to you.

Candles
Candles are a really lovely touch when you want to relax and unwind. Dim lighting and strategically placed tea lights will go a long way towards relieving stress or tension and adding to the relaxing atmosphere you’ve worked so hard to create.

Just remember to blow them out once you leave the bathroom in search of your PJ’s!

Bath Cushion
These are a tiny touch that can make all the difference. Placing a small bath cushion, or even a rolled up towel, at the nape of your neck while you recline in your scented bubbles is heavenly.

Just be certain not to drift off and fall asleep!

Treatments
This is not the time for your weekly exfoliation or tan-removing regime, which as we all know is more work than anything else!

By all means, use scented bubble bath and apply some conditioning treatments to your skin allowing them to soak in as your relax, but don’t decide to use your bath-time has an opportunity to rid your feet of corns and calluses!

Towels
If you’re going to be getting out the tub after a luxurious soak only to graze yourself by rubbing at your skin with threadbare towels, then again, the experience won’t live up to much.

Have a small, soft towel laid out for yourself to step on and two fluffy, warm towels ready to wrap yourself in once you’re finally ready to get out.

Girls, why not take some time to treat yourself to an hour-long soak in the tub, then cosy up for the rest of the evening and plan your next pamper session!
