Jade Thirlwall, member of Little Mix, has claimed that she has “weird” eating habits.

The singer spoke about how it takes her a long time to eat a meal and this may be to thank for her slender figure.

Jade said: “I literally take a year to eat a meal because I eat such tiny portions … I guess I do get fuller quicker because I eat slower. I’m just a very weird eater, I think.”

The Little Mix singer also spoke of her admiration for her bandmate, Jesy’s, figure: “Jesy has the most amazing body – I’d do anything to have that figure.”

The pubs may be closed tonight, but that probably won’t stop you stocking up on the vino and making the most of the long weekend.

If you’re feeling a bit peaky over the weekend, step away from the fry-up and try these healthy hangover cures instead.

1. Eggs
Besides being an easily digested food that’s gentle on your stomach, eggs are packed with protein. Plus thanks to their large amounts of cysteine, eggs help mop up alcohol’s leftover toxins.

2. Coconut water
Lots of people swear by this stuff to cure a hangover, and for good reason. It’s really hydrating, and one carton typically packs more potassium than a banana—which is the key nutrient for feeling better fast.

3. Bananas
One fruit that works its magic on a hangover is the humble banana—especially if you’ve (yikes!) thrown up. It’s the obvious choice to get potassium into your system fast, plus bananas are gentle on the stomach. They’ll provide necessarily electrolytes lost during heaving drinking,

4. Green tea
Green tea is packed with antioxidants, which keep your body’s cells and organs healthy. This means a healthier liver, which will help you recover faster. If you’re feeling sick, add rosemary or lavender to your tea – they’ll calm your stomach fast.

5. Miso soup
Have some miso soup with your eggs. Miso soup replaces a lot of things our bodies need to feel better: water, sodium. Because it’s a fermented food that contains healthy bacteria, miso can also help with digestion if last night’s kebab is playing havoc with your insides.

Tinder, Snapchat, Plenty of Fish – wherever you try to find your potential new squeeze, there are certain similar characteristics that these platforms hold. We’ve become a society that has accepted online dating, snapchatting strangers and swiping left or right based on first physical impressions. We retain our romantic hopes, but the reality is much less enchanting.

Situation: Saying hi

Expectation: This will get the budding relationship off to the perfect start.

Reality: Very likely you’re going to get a penis pic in return – BOOM there it is.

boing

Situation: Receiving messages

Expectation – Depending on what speed you want things to progress there can be different expectations. Maybe you’ll want cute messages, flirty messages or maybe a conversation in which he reveals his hopes and dreams. Whichever you’re looking for, you want his messages to show he’s interested in you.

Reality: He’ll slip up somewhere along the line, answering a question you haven’t asked therefore shooting himself in the foot and confirming he’s chatting at least one other person someone, but probably more, the cyber slut.

thatssotrue_3772_1331169384

Situation: Arranging dates

Expectation: You will both have similar interests and the venue you both choose is your dream date destination.

Reality: There will be no date. He just wants to sit at home, get a few nudey pics from you and mess around with himself….that perv!

AF6u6

Situation: Meeting in person for the first time

Expectation: You will meet up in a neutral (dream date destination) place and he will be even better looking and kind in person.

giphy

Reality: His pictures were taken three years ago while he was in the best shape of his life. Now, however, he is an overweight 30-something, dressed head to toe in a Manchester United kit. His hairline has also receded 3 inches from what it was in the pictures. Basically, he’s Wayne Rooney without the money.

Situation: Rejection

Expectation: It doesn’t bother you that much and you move onto the next one..

Reality: It bothers you a little, but then you quickly get over it and move onto the next one.

Is it just us or is James Franco doing a lot of silly things lately?

He has landed himself in trouble yet again when he branded a theatre critic a “little bitch” on his Instagram, which he has now deleted.

However, as James should know well already, this is the internet and nothing truly goes away forever.

Apparently New York Times theatre critic, Ben Brantley, had some not-so-nice things to say about James Franco’s current Broadway run of Of Mice and Men.

James wasn’t too impressed by Brantley review and told him he should be working at Gawker.com, eek!

Oh James, what are you doing to us? Put down the smartphone.

There’s an art to flirting—and we have the science to back it up.

Studies suggest that flirting skills could be even more important than looks in helping snag your crush – so get practising ladies!

Here are some appealing facts about flirting that might help you to reel in the dates.

1. Eye contact can make you more attractive
Once you get that whole smiling thing down, flash those peepers. Not only is it a major signal that you’re interested, but eye contact can actually make your crush fancy you more than he did before you start batting your eyelashes at him.

2. Touching is a must
While men need to play it cool when it comes to this one (nobody likes a groper!), a gentle touch on the shoulder, the forearm or the knee from you is a primitive bonding exercise that will make him go weak at the knees.

3. How you hold your head could make all the difference
Scientists have found that you’re most alluring when you angle your head forward, so you’re forced to look ever-so slightly upward. This creates a more feminine look, and we know how guys dig that.

4. The power of red is a real thing
Whether you choose red lips or a red dress, this is the colour of power and confidence, that will bring all eyes to you. The ‘red dress effect’ not only helps in attention-getting, but also makes women appear more open to sexual advances. This may or may not be what you want, but it is something to consider before going out on the prowl.

5.  It’s good for you!
Weird, right? But those who get their flirt on and do so regularly are walking around with higher white blood-cell counts making them healthier.

It’s Good Friday – which can only mean one thing – the pubs are closed. The horror!

If you didn’t make it to the off-licence on time last night, there are certain ways to get around the no-booze rule.

1. Hotels can serve alcohol with a meal

For obvious reasons hotels are allowed to serve a drink and a meal, but keep in mind many hotels demand that you be a guest to avail of their Good Friday loophole.

2. Take in some dog racing

Why not take a trip down to your local greyhound stadium for a race, a bet and a tipple.

3. Head on to the ferry or take a flight

It is slightly drastic and sometimes quite pricey, but you can drink away on board both an aeroplane and a ferry. Once you get through security with a ticket in your paw, you can grab a pint at one of the airport bars!

4. Cross the border

Head for the hills and cross the border. All pubs and clubs should be open in Northern Ireland as well as off-licences.

5. Private Members Clubs

If you know some impressive secret handshakes that unlock the doors of certain clubs you could be in luck as various private members clubs are allowed to sell alcohol for up to six hours.

6. Head to the theatre

Once you have a ticket and you’re inside the playhouse you can avail of the theatrical loophole and grab yourself a few scoops. To the theatre darlings!

7. Go to the train station

Once you have a ticket you can be served in some train stations throughout Ireland. Once you have an intercity ticket you’re sorted, you’ll be served in the station bars and you don’t even have to take the train.

8. Befriend a soldier

Army bars don’t have to comply with the dry-Friday laws and the drinks are supplemented. This means discount pints, soldiers and firearms a plenty.

But remember, don’t drink and drive

And stay safe

If anyone can do a good King Joffrey impression, it’s Jack after all…
