These places have some of the highest recorded temperatures ever recorded on earth – even the most avid sun-soaker wouldn’t risk tanning in these areas!
1.Death Valley, California
Located in the Mojave Desert, Death Valley is currently considered the hottest place in the world with records that reached 56.7 °C . It is both the lowest and driest area on earth. Strangely, though it is the hottest place on earth during the day, at night temperatures fall below freezing.
2. Dallol, Ethiopia
Once a mining town, this is now considered one of the most remote places on earth with an average annual temperature of 35°C.
3. Timbuktu, Mali
With a highest recorded temperature of 48°C, this area is located on the southern edge of the Sahara Desert and is considered one of the hottest places on earth.
4. ‘Aziziya, Libya
Until 2012, this area had the highest recorded temperature on earth at 57.8 °C, recorded in 1922. However, due to controversies and issues regarding that reading it was withdrawn as of 2012.
5. Dasht-e Lut, Iran
This area has the hottest land surface temperature which can climb to 70.7 °C though the air temperature is less than this.
Kris Jenner has broken her silence on the rumours that her estranged husband Bruce is going through a sex-change.
Following a procedure on his throat that was reported to be reducing the size of his Adam’s apple as well as being pictured with longer, feminine nails, the rumours began to circulate that Bruce was considering a sex-change.
When asked by TMZ if the rumours were true, Kris simply said, “idiots”, and called the paparazzi who asked “crazy”.
We think this whole Bruce-getting-a-sex-change thing can now be put to bed.
It’s no secret that when we go abroad we become more Irish than ever before. Even if you were a raw macrobiotic vegan at home, you will find yourself scouring the internet for Milky Moo’s or begging your mam to send more Lyons tea.
Here are the things you’re most likely to crave:
1. Club Orange/Lemon
Tommy’s favourite.
2. Tayto sandwich
Yes, you can now get Taytos most places but does it taste the same without Brennan’s bread and Kerrygold butter? No, no it doesn’t.
3. Bacon fries
A thousand empty packets scatter the pub’s tables every quiz night.
4. REAL butter
None of this “We can’t believe it’s not butter is it not no it tastes like real butter but it’s not” butter.
5. Barry’s or Lyon’s tea (no fighting please) with Irish bainne.
We’ve tried to recreate our homely cup of tea and it turns out the secret is in the milk.
6. Floury potatoes
With a load of salt and butter please.
Feeling fed up and disillusioned with love? Well we want to change that!
Everyone enjoys a beautiful love story and sometimes a good book can be way better than any movie so dust these off the shelves, fill up the hot water bottle and hide under the duvet.
1. Pride and Prejudice – Jane Austen
A classic. Be prepared to fall in love with Mr. Darcy all over again and start speaking like someone from Downton Abbey.
2. The Notebook – Nicholas Sparks
You’ve seen the movie, cried over the movie and obsessed over the movie. Now read the book!
3. The Time Traveler’s Wife – Audrey Niffenegger
You’ll need a box of tissues with this one.
4. Wuthering Heights – Emily Brontë
Another classic. Catherine and Heathcliff’s passion is palpable, and heartbreaking.
5. Where Rainbows End – Cecilia Ahern
Cecilia’s second novel may not be quite as popular as her first but that doesn’t stop it from amazing. True love conquers all!
This rap gets faster and faster and he doesn’t trip up at all, not once! But it did take him 67 takes…
Meryl Streep is set to play a key role in women’s history in new film Suffragette.
Meryl will take on the role of Emmeline Pankhurst, a suffragette who was heavily involved in gaining the vote for women. She also suffered terribly in a prison for her actions, being force fed through tubes while on hunger strike.
The movie will be written by Abi Morgan, writer of The Iron Lady, and directed by Sarah Gavron.
Carey Mulligan will star as a young feminist who decides peaceful methods are not working in the fight for women’s right to vote and so turns to more militant and violent tactics.
The movie will also star Helena Bonham Carter and Brendan Gleeson.
Boy George stepped out on the red carpet at the BRIT Awards sporting what looked like bruises and blood above his left eye.
However, while he may have looked like he had been in a fight, the Karma Chameleon singer had actually put on the strange make-up himself. Explaining the look to Vogue magazine, the 54-year-old said, “I’m a fashion victim”.
The British singer shared a picture on Twitter of him heading to the awards ceremony and captioned it, “Rockin’,” clearly implying that he was going for the rocker look.
Last year, the Do You Really Want to Hurt Me hitmaker had a bit of a spat with One Direction member Liam Payne after he accused Liam of snubbing his 13-year-old niece. He tweeted: “Top marks to Harry Styles for stopping for a picture with my niece and Bo**ox’s to Liam and the disrespectful w**ker of a minder!”
However, Liam did not let it go without defending himself and tweeted back: “@BoyGeorge now now boy lets not tell porkies. Firstly thanks for getting my name wrong three times, then asking me where is liam?…awkward. Then when you finally got it right saying you wanted Niall instead.”
Thankfully the night went off without any problems between the pair and neither ended up with real bruises.
Beyoncé is known for always putting on an amazing show.
After her Drunk In Love performance with husband Jay-Z silenced the crowd at this year’s Grammys, we couldn’t wait to see what Queen B had in store for us for her hit single XO.
Disappointing? Well you tell us!
Aww, this little girl is so cute, she cries every time she hears her parent’s wedding song. So sweet.
We love Emma Stone and her style is always simple and stylish with a seemingly endless supply of lovely winter coats, collared shirts, skinny jeans and cute boots.
This first look is exactly that with a checked winter coat, cute grey jumper and matching hat.
This second look is a beautiful greek-style gown with a sexy side slit. We love the style of the dress so much but we aren’t convinced about the colour.
Emma’s third look is a trendy tartan jacket paired with her signature skinnies and a white shirt.
We love this last look – the lace, the hair, the lipstick – all of it! The gothic look really suits Emma we have to say.
