So this is the show everyone is talking about – it can’t be that good, right? Eh, where did the last three days go?

You can’t remember life before it and don’t want to imagine life without it
You attach yourself to other fans of the show – in the office, amongst friends and even strangers on the bus.
You ring in sick to work after watching ‘just one more episode’ until 3am.
You dream about your favourite characters when you finally do turn it off and sleep.
You consider retraining in whatever it is the lead characters do. How hard can detective school be, really?
You start to think of any other activity as obstacles between you and the show, including washing, eating and spending time with loved ones.
Nobody is safe from your rants on the merits of and multiple meaning behind the show, and you’ll continue on regardless even when they start to back away from you slowly.

Demi Lovato slams Lady Gaga for glamorising eating disorders

Demi Lovato was obviously as horrified by Lady Gaga’s latest performance as we were!

Gaga is known for her strange and quirky performances and videos, but this one went a little too far!

In case you didn’t see it, Gaga got artist Millie Brown to puke on her while she performed at SXSW in Texas.

Demi has been a long-time advocate for sufferers of eating disorders and, although a fan of Lady Gaga’s, she called her out on this latest stunt.

Taking to her Twitter she wrote: “Sad…As if we didn’t have enough people glamorising eat disorders already. Bottom line, it’s not “cool” or “artsy” at all.”

Well, if you know Gaga’s monsters like you think you do, they didn’t take this lying down with Demi later writing:

“It’s not “shade” and it’s not “hate”. But someone has to come forward and say it and I’ll take the heat.”

She later added: “Ps. I’m still a little monster myself.”

Do you think Lady Gaga’s performance went too far this time?

Have researchers finally found a way to combat superbugs?

According to new research, common painkillers could help in the fight against superbugs.

The research which was published in the Cell Press journal Chemistry and Biology says that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may be able to kill bacteria found in superbugs.

NSAIDs including ibuprofen can be found in basic painkillers that many of us have in our cupboards at home.

According to Dr Aaron Oakley from the University of Wollongong in Australia, who headed the study: “The fact that the bacteria-killing effect of the anti-inflammatory drugs is different from conventional drugs means that the NSAIDS could be developed into new kinds of antibiotics that are effective against so-called superbugs.

Experts say that superbugs are currently resistant to antibiotics and the new findings could be of significance in the fight against the bacteria.

Dr Oakley led the study on bromofenac, carprofen and vedaprofen and added: “This is important because the superbugs have become resistant to many – and in some cases most – of the available antibiotics.”

Seth Rogen has made his own explicit tell-all list.

Unlike Lindsay’s reported “kiss and tell list”, Seth’s is, unsurprisingly, a “smoke and tell” list as he names all of the celebs he has ever sparked up a doobie with.

Seth answered the question on Watch what Happens Live recently with a rapid fire naming round, here is what he said:

Jonah Hill: “yeah
Sarah Silverman: “Yes, many times.”
James Franco: “This is really depressing for me to say: I’ve never smoked weed with James Franco because he doesn’t smoke weed.”

Seth also answered that he had not smoked weed with Barbara Streisand but they “talked about it” a lot.

Our guy sources reveal what they do when the girl folk aren’t around…

We do urinate in a whirlwind motion and flush the toilet early in order to race it to the end…

We sometimes fantasise about your female friends….yerp

We delete our search history’s and cache…

We like to see how high we can pee in a communal urinal…

We remember things based on familiarity so if you tell us the name of your best friend’s new boyfriend, we have literally have forgotten it 5 seconds later.

We sometimes pretend to be asleep, because you’re talking about shoes or something…

Boobs are our weakness….

We have found it funny to leave our socks on during sex…

We will never ask for directions because we were rocking the independent vibe way before Beyonce and her cronies came along…

We spend an hour in the jacks, not for space or me time, just because it’s that enjoyable…

We can multi task…we just don’t do it so you can have your little joke time.

We love taking advantage of man flu when it comes along…

We never admit we’re wrong, because…

Top 8 tips on choosing the right bikini for your body shape

When you’re looking for a new bikini, you have to think about what you want it to do for you. Some people aim to enhance curves, while others want to hide their bust.

Here are our top tips on finding the right bikini:

If you’re busty upstairs, make sure you get a top with an underwire.
If you’re not so boobalicious, a top with ruffles will give you the illusion of being busty.
Hide flabby bellies with a ruched one piece suit.
To downplay your backside, go for dark colored briefs or shorts.
If you don’t have much of a behind, then whip out the ruffles again. Ruffles always add volume.
If you’re a curvy girl who wants to look slim, then go for vertical patterns to create a slimmer torso.
If you have a boyish figure, go for a bikini with feminine details and the sides cut out. This will create an illusion of curves.
To avoid love handles, go for folded bottoms.

If you are in the mood for getting organised for you holipops find your perfect bikini, swimsuit or separates with celebrity inspired swimwear.

James Arthur outdoes Rylan Clark on the fake tan

It seems James Arthur has been taking a few make-up tips from Rylan Clark but went a little over board.

The X Factor contestants were photographed together backstage at ITV’s This Morning but James looked a tad on the orange side.

The Get Down singer showed us all just how little his knowledge is in applying tan as his hands were clearly missed.

Unfortunately, the 2012 X Factor winner has not been helping himself lately and has been involved in a few Twitter spats.

The Impossible singer slated One Direction on the social media site before posting a homophobic slur to a rapper and labelling his fellow contestant Lucy Spraggan a “two-faced fickle attention seeker”.

It seems that even Simon Cowell is not happy with him and after James called all the X factor winner “muppets”, the music mogul said: “I think James, unfortunately, has had so many issues with what he has done publicly – which is a real issue with me. Somebody should have told him to shut up and just put the records out.”

The cast of Modern Family are known to be close and are often snapped in one another’s Instgram photos.

But Sarah Hyland got more than she bargained for when she took a video of co-star, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, lip-syncing to Idina Menzel’s ‘Defying Gravity’.

Jesse gets really into it as his make-up is being prepared for shooting the show, he actually pushes his make-up artist out of the way and performs a little dance.

We love it!
