Spike Aerospace, Inc. have plans to create the world’s “first supersonic business jet” that will not only cut flying time by half but will be the first windowless business jet.

Instead of windows, the interior of the Spike S-512 will be covered by display screens embedded into the walls. Cameras surrounding the aircraft will construct “breathtaking panoramic views” that will be displayed inside the jet.

According to the company it is not all about looks and there is an actual reason for removing the windows.

They said: “It has long been known that the windows cause significant challenges in designing and constructing an aircraft fuselage. They require addition structural support, add to the parts count and add weight to the aircraft. But until recently, it has not been possible to do without them.”

The firm also claims that it will cut flights down by half so that “it will save passengers time so they can explore more of the world”.

Unfortunately, with style comes a hefty price tag and the supersonic jet will set you back $60 million. However, on the brighter side, it is not due for release until December 2018 so you have some time to save.

When she isn’t snapping adorable photos of her two little boys or arguing with Katie Hopkins on TV, Peaches is working on her wardrobe and can be seen at all the latest fashion shows.

Peaches’ style has changed a lot over the last two or three years and she can now be seen looking chic, demure and elegant as opposed to mass amounts of denim hotpants and leather jackets!

This first red carpet look is absolutely stunning, we love the deep wine colour with the black lace and oversized sash.

We think pastels look great on Peaches’ pale skin and this outfit is the cutest. We weren’t too sure about the silver shoes but they’re growing on us!

Oversized coats are great for keeping warm and they look super chic. Go for a neutral colour like Peaches.

This last outfit is simply stunning – Peaches’ dress is a lovely shade of, erm, peach! Complete with retro hair and a dazzling ring!

We love this girl!

Despite her multiple wins in the past, Jennifer Lawrence didn’t believe she’d won the award for Best Supporting Actress for American Hustle at this year’s BAFTAs.

The Oscar-winner was forced to skip the ceremony due to filming commitments on X-Men: Days of Future Past and the news was delivered by someone on set.

Jen has been neck-in-neck with Lupita Nyong’o from 12 Years a Slave since awards season started and was also up against Julia Roberts, Oprah Winfrey and Sally Hawkins in this category.

When asked about her win by Deadline, she said: “Oh, it was a big surprise. I didn’t remember that the BAFTAs were happening that day. I certainly did not think I was going to win one, so I put it out of my mind. So there I was, in the middle of being painted blue, and someone said, ‘You just won the BAFTA!’ And I said, ‘Oh, go f**k yourself!’ And then it turned out they were serious.”

Never a dull moment with Jennifer – we can’t wait to see what happens at the Oscars!

In the past, moving in together meant two people were crazy about each other and just one step away from walking down the aisle.

Today, couples move in together because of their finances rather than their feelings.

In a new study, over a million couples admitted to moving in with their partners earlier than anticipated.

Some decided to share a home just a month after they started going out while one in 12 bought a property with their other-half within six months.

According to home insurance expert Gareth Lane: “Many people appear to be moving in with their partners sooner than they anticipated, helping with the costs of living and future financial plans.”

We know money is the driving force for a lot of things, but we didn’t think moving in together was be one of them.

Romance, eh?

Katy Parry was booed off the catwalk after turning up to the Moschino show 50 minutes late during Milan fashion week.

As she was one of the front row guests, the show couldn’t start without her and The Dark Horse singer then proceeded to hold things up even further by posing for photographs.

Rita Ora also turned up 45 minutes late, but because Katy was the last person to take her seat, the fashion lovers took their frustration out on her.

Katy’s friend Jeremy Scott was making his debut for Moschino, so she arrived head-to-toe in the brand’s collection.

At least she looked good…

Everyone needs an outdoor haven but living in an apartment means that you only have a tiny amount of space to work with; however, that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun with it.

Lights
Fairy lights are not just for Christmas and are a great way to create an atmosphere, but just make sure they are outdoor lights. Drape them over potted plants, pin them to the wall or string them through your balcony railings.

Plants
You don’t need to have green fingers to be able to keep a few potted plants alive. Choose brightly coloured pots and fill them full of plants – go for bright flowers with bright petals. Tie ribbons around for added luxury.

Seats
You won’t be able to relax without a few chairs. A plastic one piled with cushions is a cheap way to go. Don’t forget to take the cushions in when the weather changes though.

Candles
Feeling the chill? Invest in some candles. Pick up a couple of lanterns in your local garden centre or line up a few tea lights to create a real relaxing area.

Bliss.

If you want to give your lips an instant plump, you don’t need to put in as much effort as you think. With these five simple steps you can have lips that are as perfect as Angelina Jolie’s……. well almost.

Exfoliate
This is a crucial step before any lip application. Use a damp toothbrush or use a clean and small mascara wand to get rid of any dead skin cells on your lips.

Liner
A good lip liner will give your lips definition that will get you noticed almost almost immediately.

Brush
Apply your lip color with a lip brush to make sure it penetrates deep into your lips.

Gloss
Put a shiny gloss right in the middle of your lips. This will make the middle part more noticeable and your lips a full rounded appearance.

Conceal
To have a perfect pout, the edges of your lips must be clean. Use concealer to tidy up and watch your lips pout almost naturally.

Following his Miami Beach arrest, prosecutors have offered Justin Bieber a plea bargain usually given to first-time DUI offenders – community service, an alcohol education course and random drug testing.

While this may seem reasonable, it’s been revealed that Bieber will actually reject the  deal because he doesn’t want to undergo random drug testing.

Sources are claiming that Bieber is a little too fond of weed and this is why he won’t accept this condition.

Bieber’s team believe there are enough problems with the evidence to get him off the hook, claiming the arresting officer lied when he said Bieber smelled of alcohol and that he saw him drag race.

Let’s see if the prosecutors offer him a different deal…
