Harry has been going out with dancer Cressida Bonas for quite a while now so it would be no surprse if the two have decided to take the next step.

Plain old white vinegar has the ability to clean your home from top to bottom. It brings up a great shine on tiles and silver and has amazing deodorizing properties.

Use vinegar in the following ways for an economical and thorough way of cleaning your home.

1. Tiles
Mix vinegar with some warm water and use on your tiles to bring up a great shine and get rid of stains.

2. Microwave
Use vinegar to shift those tough stains in your microwave.

3. Stainless steel hob
Using vinegar on your hob will make the silver gleam and break down any food residue.

4. Drains
Because of its incredible deodorizing properties, vinegar can clear up any lingering smells caused by your drain. If mixed with some baking soda it can also unclog your drains.

5. Smelly rooms
Whether it’s smoke, wet dog or perhaps that salmon from last night, vinegar is the solution! Simply place a bowl of vinegar in the area that smells and wait for an hour or two. Although it will smell like vinegar for a while, once you throw it away all the offending smells will have disappeared! Magic.

5 relationship deal breakers

Most relationships just can’t get past these big issues that are a part of life.

1. Jealousy
If one or both of you are constantly jealous it means there may be a lack of trust and no relationship will get past that.

2. Distance
If you are more like room-mates than a couple it won’t last too much longer. Try to change it if you can, if there is just too much distance then you need to let go.

3. He want kids, you don’t or vice versa
Children are a massive part of adulthood and ultimately if it something you want or don’t want and your other half disagrees it simply can’t last.

4. He is critical/you are critical
If one of you (or both) is overly critical, especially in public or very personally it isn’t a healthy relationship.

5. You want to get married, he doesn’t or vice versa
You need to decide if you can live your life without being married rather than hoping he will change his mind. If you can’t, then it may be time to move on. If it is you who doesn’t want to get married you need to figure out if it is a sacrifice you are willing to make for your significant other. If it isn’t, then you need to let go.

Money is tight for this Knocked Up star

Knocked Up star Katherine Heigl admits she hasn’t made that much money in the past few years.

The former Grey’s Anatomy actress is starring in an upcoming independent film Jenny’s Wedding but the filming won’t be going ahead if it doesn’t reach its $150,000 target by 28th March.

So far it has only reached $32,311 and when asked by TMZ if she could help them out, Heigl replied: “I haven’t made that much in the last few years, man. I gotta support my family.”

Unfortunately, if this movie doesn’t go ahead it won’t be the first flop for the star. In 2013, Heigl starred in The Big Wedding which failed to earn big bucks, even though it had a pretty good cast including Robert De Niro, Diane Keaton, Robin Williams and Susan Sarandon. Her 2012 flick One for The Money also flopped and rumours had it that the 35-year-old was difficult to work with.

Katherine claims to have earned $12 million in 2010 for her role in Life As We Know It but things seemed to have gone downhill since then; however, she will be joining the cast of CIA in NBC’s upcoming drama so hopefully things are on the up.
