Justin Bieber was reportedly banned from some of Miami’s top nightclubs.

The Baby singer and his entourage’s party plans didn’t get off the ground over the weekend, as they were apparently denied access to the city’s biggest hotspots.

Although the 20-year-old singer’s team rang ahead to reserve tables, the managers of the clubs were said to have refused to let them in as the singer is one year under the legal age.

The managers were also said to have thought the star would create bad press for the venues as the last time he let his hair down in Miami he was charged with driving under the influence (DUI), resisting arrest and driving without a valid licence.

Some clubs offered to let the Heartbreaker singer in if he agreed to perform but he declined.

Justin, who has pleaded not guilty to all the charges against him, is set to appear in court again on May 5th.

Ever wondered why you get hungry at odd times – like after you dinner or in the middle of the day?

Here are four reasons why you get hunger pangs:

You ate your food too quickly
Feeling hungry even though you just ate five minutes ago? You probably ate too fast so allow your food to settle for about 20 minutes before assessing if you are actually still hungry.

Lack of sleep
A lack of sleep triggers your appetite. So when you feel you are hungry at odd times it could be due to feeling tired.

After a workout
Not surprisingly, after a workout you will feel hungry. Make sure you have some kind of recovery snack after exercising like a boiled egg or a piece of chicken

You are thirsty
Dehydration can cause you to feel like you need to eat something. When you feel hungry when you don’t think you should be have a glass of water and see if that helps.

In the last two years dating has become increasingly easier. Most people don’t even need to leave their houses to meet new people. Since this kind of thing can be quite dangerous, make sure you know a friend of the person at least. It will seriously annoy you if they are a catfish and you will have to sit in a bar with them for 30 minutes, while you realize what a shit situation you are in. Apps have changed the dating game and most will say for the better. But here are the ones that have made the biggest impact:

1. Tinder

Probably the most famous of all, specifically targeted towards dating, in 24 languages, you could find your perfect match. Or, just realize you fancy no one that lives near you. All hail Tinder and the random hook ups it has created.

2. Snapchat

Ah Snapchat! An innocent way to send a photo of you with your boobs out to the whole population of males or females in your city. There is nothing that Snapchat cannot do. And, in case anyone was wondering, people will know who you have been Snapchatting – very territorial all together.

3. Whatsapp

Whatsapp is a device where texting is seen in a more casual manner. The group named after your cleverly titled group of friends is how you keep up appearances. Your Whatsapp photo may define you, so, choose carefully. Also, if there are any naked selfies floating about, they will fly through Whatsapp as quick as a flash.

4. Instagram

If you want to know who is the sap out of your group or if someone is in a relationship – take to Instagram. There will be couple selfies, sorry, #couplie’s. There will be presents they have received and there will be that awkward first date you both had. Liking on Instagram is also a way to know who is looking at your photos.

5. Facebook

Poke here and poke there, poking wars have become quite the Facebook epidemic. Who you talk to on chat, or who likes your photos, could be the sign of a new relationship. Numbers are exchanged and soon you will be in contact with your new date. Facebook has opened gates for us all.

6. Google

When you meet someone on a night out, on Tinder or through Facebook you will most likely Google them to make sure they aren’t a convicted felon. Google carefully and wisely. Add every single thing you know about them into the search bar – make it easier on yourself.

7. Twitter

Twitter is a very casual way to find someone. Many random people follow each other. It just isn’t as private as Facebook or Whatsapp. Anything you put on Twitter you are letting the world see. If you say where you were for dinner people will know your exact where abouts. So, don’t expect privacy on this yoke – unless your profile is fiercely private of course.

The Voice judge will.i.am has come under fire by the BBC for plugging his smartphone watch live on air.

The Black Eyed Peas frontman could be in line for a slap on the wrist from The Voice producers after he used the accessory during the show’s final on Saturday night.

The musician used the gadget to take a phone call from his pal Cheryl Cole, despite the channel’s strict advertising and product placement ban.

Cheryl had called him to praise his winning act Jermain Jackman for his rendition of Miley Cyrus hit Wrecking Ball.

This isn’t the first time the star has landed himself in hot water as he was previously banned from wearing a jacket embroidered with the words Go Hard Or Go Home, after he was accused of using the slogan to plug his 2011 single T.H.E. (The Hardest Ever).

will.i.am spoke of his latest gadget when wearing his smartphone watch during a recent appearance on Alan Carr: Chatty Man.

He said, “It takes my heartbeat, my calorie burn, you can make purchases from it. I started the company and funded it and used my own money to develop it.”

Ed Sheeran has penned a song about an ex-girlfriend – and it features on his new album.

The A Team singer – who has announced his new album ‘x’ will be released on June 23rd, admitted that one track on the record is a “true story” about a former lover.

He said, “If you date a songwriter, prepare to have songs written about you.”

Ed may have taken a leaf out of his close pal Taylor Swift’s book  who has written a number of songs about her ex-boyfriends, including One Direction’s Harry Styles.

Ed said the track “could have gotten nastier” and claims the song is a “100 per cent true story”.

The 23-year-old singer has posted details of his new album on Twitter, the follow-up to 2011’s ‘+’, which sold 102,000 copies in its first week on sale.

It would appear that Scarlett Johansson is not a fan of her nickname, ScarJo.

The actress spoke with Glamour magazine about her strong feelings on the subject saying, “I associate that name with, like, pop stars. It sounds tacky. It’s lazy and flippant…There’s something insulting about it.”

Scarlett also spoke about her distaste for interview questions only female stars get asked: “Actresses get stupid questions asked of them all the time like, ‘How do you stay sexy’ or ‘What’s your sexiest quality?’ All these ridiculous things you would never ask a man.”

Scarlett stars in the newly released trailer for Jon Favreau’s movie, Chef. The comedy also stars Sofia Vergara, Dustin Hoffman and Robert Downey Jr.

The American Music Country Awards brought out the big names in country music from Faith Hill and Miranda Lambert to Taylor Swift and Jamie Lynn Spears.

We love award looks and this red carpet didn’t disappoint!

Miranda Lambert looked stunning in a gold gown with a plunging neckline which hugged her in all the right places. Very sexy!

Olivia Munn’s look was a little more understated but still absolutely beautiful. A flowing red gown with cute capped sleeves and a side slit was definitely red carpet-worthy!

Taylor Swift won it for us. This outfit was so perfectly executed we cannot find fault at all. From the on trend crop top to the side slit and wavy bob – we think she looks perfect!

We all know that drinks such as red wine, tea and coffee can lead to stained and yellowed teeth.

Well, did you know that these foods can not only help to whiten your teeth but also neutralise bad breath and keep gums healthy?

1. Strawberries
Everyone’s favourite fruit contains malic acid which acts as an astringent to remove pesky stains from your teeth.

2. Milk and yoghurt
These dairy goods are light in colour and contain high levels of calcium which will keep your teeth strong.

3. Pears
Neutralise bad breath with a pear!

4. Apples
These fruits have a high water content which promotes saliva leading to whiter teeth. Apples also strengthen gums.

5. Broccoli
Have some raw broccoli with your lunch and it will clean the surface of your teeth, keeping your pearly whites clean.
