A close friend to Snow Patrol’s Johnny McDaid has revealed he will marry Courteney Cox on her 50th birthday next month.

The wedding will take place on 15th June in Courteney’s Los Angeles home and is expected to be an intimate affair.

Courteney has been selling the event as her birthday party, but has told guests to wear white, dress smart and expect a big surprise.

The pair, who got together last year, sparked marriage rumours in February when Courteney was spotted wearing what appeared to be an engagement ring.

A selection of family members and close friends, including Jennifer Aniston and musician Ed Sheeran who set the couple up, are expected to be in attendance.

McDaid’s friend says: “Johnny and Courteney are madly in love and they want it to be special. They can’t think of a better time to become a family than on her birthday.”

Here’s hoping these aren’t just rumours!

Notice a certain decrease in your Facebook friends recently? Well, here are just a few of the possible scenarios that probably got you unfriended in the first place.

School friends
Let’s face it, you two haven’t seen each other in over seven years so, is it really that surprising? If your honest with yourself you’ve no interest with what’s going in their lives and if they hadn’t unfriended you in the first place, well you probably would have sooner or later.

Too many friends
Nothing personal but, this person simply had too many Facebook friends and unfortunately you didn’t make the cut.

Different opinions
It can happen and in the long run you’re probably better off, as you’re only going to get into nasty commentary debates on Facebook that never end well.

Post too much
This can be a common sign that you might be spending too much time online? There’s nothing wrong with expressing yourself but, posting every five minutes will definitely give someone cause to block you from their newsfeed or remove you altogether.

 Vaguebooking
If you can’t talk about something on Facebook, then it’s probably best you don’t post a vague, annoying status about it.  Because nothing annoys your Facebook friends more, than Vaguebooking.

Fitness nut Millie Mackintosh has revealed she has no qualms about going under the knife to increase her breast size.

“Sometimes I wish I had bigger boobs! But then I also love that I can go without a bra,” the Made in Chelsea star admitted in a recent interview.

Millie is forever posting pictures of her healthy lifestyle to her Instagram account and we’re starting to doubt she ever leaves the gym.

Thankfully it seems like surgery isn’t a priority right now and Millie says she’s never been happier with her body.

Hopefully she keeps that attitude and stays away from the operating table.

With proposals, wardrobe malfunctions, more wardrobe malfunctions and now a near-death experience, Monday’s Met Ball must be the most dramatic one in the history of the event.

Ok, so ‘near-death experience’ is a bit of an exaggeration, but when Hayden Panettiere fell on the red carpet stairs, things could have been a lot worse.

The Nashville actress caught her foot on the skirt of her beautiful Dennis Basso gown as she tried to walk down the stairs and slipped.

Thankfully Hayden was fine and quickly got back up, taking it all in good humour.

We knew Jennifer Lawrence was a trendsetter, but this is just ridiculous.

After a dramatic exit from the show that made her a household name, Katherine Heigl is coming back to TV with her tail between her legs.

NBC has just announced it will pick up State of Affairs, a show about a high-ranking CIA agent played by Katherine who acts as the president’s daily adviser.

You have to appreciate the irony after the actress caused so much trouble trying to leave Grey’s Anatomy so she could pursue her career on the big screen.

Katherine’s Grey’s Anatomy character, Dr Izzie Stevens, was given a no-show exit in 2010 after she made a number of enemies on set with her reported diva behaviour and her public criticisms of the show.

We bet Shonda is feeling a little smug right now…

Be honest, when picking up a pair of shades, do you go for style or the SPF it offers?

If you want to protect your eyes, you’ll definitely be going for the latter after reading this.

According to the World Health Organisation, up to 20% of cataracts (clouding of the lens inside your eye) are caused by overexposure to UV rays.

When it comes to protecting skin from the sun (most!) ladies are well versed in applying suncream, but did you know that your cornea can also burn? Sounds awful…

You can also get skin cancer on your eyelids and around the eye area.

It is important you pick up a pair of sunnies that have a UV400 label or ones that tell you they offer 100% UV protection.

Also, pick up a wide brimmed hat for extra protection – your eyes deserve it.

Jon Hamm might be known all across the globe for his iconic role of Don Draper on Mad Men, but the actor has admitted before he achieved any fame, he had to work in “soft-core porn”.

But steady on ladies, the actor never starred in any of these raunchy films, he was just the set-dresser.

“I was actually at that time working as a set dresser for Cinemax soft-core-porn movies. It was soul-crushing.”

Poor Jon, but needless to say he’s found the job of his dreams and couldn’t be happier.

“This is the best job I’ve ever had and maybe ever will have in my life — it’s so fun to play all of this. It can be relentlessly dark. It can be terribly sexually inappropriate, is a way to say it. But who else gets a chance to do any of that stuff? There’s so much there.”

We’re glad you’re happy Jon but, we still can’t imagine you working in any role in the porn industry.

Booking a hotel from the comfort of your couch definitely has it advantages; however, while it may be a lot easier, there are a few things you definitely need to do and others that you definitely need to avoid.

Shop around
Don’t just book from the hotel’s own site. Look around price comparison websites like Trivago instead. You will definitely get a better deal this way.

Read reviews
Make sure you won’t be left with any unpleasant surprises by reading reviews on the hotel before you book it. Be wary of fake reviews though – always go with your gut instinct.

Give the hotel a ring
If you really can’t find a good price, give the hotel a ring. You may be able to barter a better deal.

Watch out for hidden fees
Make sure you get the full cost of your booking before you confirm it. You don’t want to think you are getting a great deal only to find out it’s not really that great.

Location, location, location
If you opt for the cheaper hotel, make sure it is not so far away from attractions that what you save on accommodation you lose on travelling costs.

Prince William surprised many American Airlines passengers last the weekend, when the Prince decided to fly economy.

William apparently mingled and chatted with his fellow passengers who were little shocked at the Royal presence.

It seems William had no problem in flying couch after returning from his pal’s wedding in Tennessee.

One news reporter managed to take a shot of the Prince’s head on the plane.

Reports are suggesting that Wills paid for the flight himself but was surrounded by his security entourage.

Still, William has given us another reason to fly economy.

Apparently Miley Cyrus is refusing to perform on America’s music music show, The Voice, due to an apparent feud with the singer and judge, Christina Aguilera.

Even though Christina is currently not on the show as she’s on maternity leave, Miley is still refusing to come on the music show, due to its association with Aguilera.

A source close to Miley revealed that the signer took offence at a tweet sent by Christina which said: “Cheers from one dirrty girl to the next @MileyCyrus…wear em’ loud & proud, girl-yes!”

Apparently Miley didn’t appreciate the tweet believing it was a “fake compliment” and “undermined” her in the process.

Ok then Miley. But the 21-year-old singer is adamant she won’t be performing on the show, with one source saying she is resisting “countless offers” and the “show knows her reasons”.

“Even if Christina has temporarily stepped aside, The Voice is still Christina’s show and Miley doesn’t want to lift a finger to help that woman,”

Matt Damon has acted out plenty of iconic roles in his time, but none are as memorable as Jason Bourne.

It seems that the actor agrees, as Matt has recently revealed that our favourite action star could be returning to our screens a lot sooner then we thought.

Matt Damon said he would love to play the character of Jason again, if director Paul Greengrass was interested too.

“I’ve always been open to it if Paul Greengrass is the director and… we’ve just never been able to come up with a story. It felt like such a good way to end it the last time, but having said that I love that character… and I’d love to see what happened to him.”

We hope this is true, because as much as we loved The Bourne Legacy film in 2012, nothing can really compete with Matt Damon’s own Jason Bourne.
