Rupert Everett has made some not-so-nice comments about Queen B, Kim K, Rihanna, and just about every other curvy woman in the world.

The Stardust actor told Mail Online in an interview over the weekend: “I grew up with the ideal of female beauty being delicate with long, slim legs.”

Not stopping there (oh, how we wish he had), Rupert went on to describe just what he thought of women with curvier figures, “Now it’s terribly ‘in’ for women to have these huge great legs with massive thighs.”

“Rihanna has them, Kim Kardashian has them, Beyoncé has them, with her elephant ankles and gigantic a*** … I think it’s the reason all these big, clumpy shoes are fashionable – to support these huge legs they all have.”

Wow, he seems like a super sound guy.

There never seems to be enough hours in the day to get everything done, never mind making sure you are taking good care of your health.

Between skipping meals, eating on the go and not getting enough sleep, our bodies can suffer, resulting in us getting sick more than we should and our skin making us look older than we are.

Wheatgrass roots contain the most powerful anti-aging enzyme known to man which helps to aid digestion, strengthen the heart muscle and lessen the effects of radiation and cellular aging.

OxyGrass Aeroponically-Grown Wheatgrass is the only wheatgrass product that contains both the roots and the top growth of the plant, which means you get the maximum amount of vitamins, minerals, enzymes and amino acids.

Wheatgrass also makes a great detoxifier as it cleanses, destroys and eliminates free radicals in the body. It also helps to support the lymphatic system to remove toxins from the cells of the body. So it is perfect if you are on a detox.

Wheatgrass helps to boost the body’s immune system, which helps to fight off illness and ailments and assists in breaking down fats, making it a great aid in weight loss.

The roots also have an abundance of chlorophyll, which vitalizes and energises your body and protects it from carcinogens as it strengthens cells and detoxifies the liver.

Due to its huge alkalizing ability, it can help restore your natural PH balance, especially useful if you have a highly acidic diet of sugar and processed foods.

OxyGrass Wheatgrass has a smoother, creamier taste than other conventionally grown wheatgrass products, all due to the nutritious roots.

It is available in both a 15 day or 33 day supply sachet form and 200 supply tablet form. You can even drink the sachets in fruit juice or water, depending on your preference.

OxyGrass Wheatgrass is 100% natural, is free of yeast and dairy and is suitable for vegetarians and vegan. It is also the only one that is grown in nothing but air making it one of the most sustainable methods of food production.

The Saturdays singer Una Healy often steps out with dramatic looking cat eyes that a lot of women lust after. Luckily, her eyes are pretty easy to recreate and you can get them done in five easy steps.

Curl your lashes
Curl your lashes before you put any make-up near your eyes. Heat up the curler with the hair dryer and press.

Primer
Apply a little primer to your eyelids to help keep your eye make-up in place.

Line the eye
Using a black pencil eyeliner line the lid just at the top lash line and bottom, don’t draw on the cat flick just yet. Use your black liquid liner and go over the pencil line at the top. You will also use the liquid line to draw on the flick. When doing your flick, make sure it goes out as far as the bony part of the eye.

Eyeshadow
Choose a bronze eyeshadow that has a metallic shimmer. Make sure you blend right up to just below your eyebrow line.

Mascara
Finish by applying lots of black mascara or false lashes just like Una. Apply a little mascara to the lower lashes as well.

If you overindulged as much as we did on chocolate over Easter, this guide to the best every day detox teas can’t come quick enough!

Burdock Root Tea
Burdock is a little-known herb that has a lot of detoxifying benefits. It can has been shown to strengthen the immune system as well, and has been known to help purify the blood.

Cayenne Pepper Tea
The healing properties of cayenne pepper are just starting to create a buzz. Most find that drinking it with a slice of lemon cuts down on some of the spicy taste.

Chicory Tea
Not only can this help you detox the body, it’s also been shown to help rev up your metabolism, so you’re getting at least two major benefits from drinking this.

Dandelion Tea
Dandelion raises levels of an enzyme in the body known for its detoxifying functions. These have been known to help the body get rid of carcinogens, or cancer-causing toxins in the body.

Garlic Tea
OK, so you have to get past the pong to benefit from this tea, but it’s well worth it if you do. This tea it is definitely going to work to help cleanse the body.

Milk Thistle Tea
The benefits to the liver make milk thistle tea worth drinking. The liver is the focal point of your organs, and when it isn’t operating at its best, there is a virtual domino effect on your other organs. So any detox plan you undergo should have the liver as the main organ worth treating.

Turmeric Tea
This tea can help kick-start your liver and gallbladder into creating more bile, which helps to break down toxins and flush them from the liver and out of the body.

They say first impressions count for everything, but now a new study has claimed that it only takes 12 minutes for your crush to decide if there’ll be a second date!

You might spend hours getting ready, but a survey carried out on 2,000 singletons claims that it is those first crucial moments that can make or break a potential romance.

In short, you need to make a good impression, and fast. Eek!

So how do you secure that second date in under 15 minutes?

1.  Do make eye contact, smile and really focus on what he’s saying. These are all ways to make a lasting first impression.

2.  Don’t ask too many questions. A recent study found that the more questions speed daters posed to each other, the less connected they felt. So ditch the mental checklist and let the conversation flow naturally instead.

3.  Do check in with yourself. It’s easy to get so caught up in wondering how you’re coming across on a date that you forget to ask yourself if you’re interested in the person across the table. Don’t let those first 12 minutes go by without actually assessing your own level of interest.

4.  Don’t take a smoke break. A recent survey found that smoking on a date was a bigger deal breaker than checking your phone or showing up late.

5. Do stay away from risky topics. That includes any mention of your ex, politics or your favourite sexual position!

Bressie has opened up about his struggles with depression since he was a teenager.

The musician and star of The Voice penned an honest and emotional article for The Irish Independent in which he spoke about John Waters recent comments on mental health that caused much controversy.

John Waters said about depression: “I don’t believe in depression. There’s no such thing. It’s bulls***. It’s a cop out.”

Bressie said he was “low, very low, and scared sh******” after he purposely broke his own arm as a teenager, “One evening, I anchored myself to a chair as I lay by bed and intentionally and repeatedly crashed my forearm against the bridge of the frame until I felt the bone break.”

Bressie spoke about how he feels Ireland has come so far since he was a teenager suffering from depression and although there “may still be people like John who either don’t fully understand the complexities of mental health or are lucky enough not to have been affected by it, but I can tell you one thing, there are far more people out there who do understand.”

He also praises the Irish media in creating a platform for openness surrounding mental health issues, saying: “The Irish media is being incredibly forward thinking and supportive and genuinely having an impact and, without doubt, saving lives.”
