Yearly Archives: 2014

Remember last January when Justin Bieber decided it would be a good idea to egg his neighbour’s house in Calbasas, California? We’re pretty sure by the time July rolled around and the singer found himself agreeing to a plea deal to ensure he avoided jail time, he will have realised what an unsmooth move it was.

But in case the twenty-year-old singer needed any further confirmation that egging someone’s house is a bad idea, having to shell out $80,000 to settle the case would most likely make him think twice in the future. $80,000 is one expensive prank, right?

The incident is in the headlines again because Justin’s lawyer, Shawn Holley, today updated a judge on the singer’s progress in adhering to the rules and regulations passed down

Further to the $80,000 pay-out, the ex-boyfriend of Selena Gomez has been ordered to stay at least 100 yards away from his victim and has thus far completed four of twelve court ordered anger management classes. This is in addition to the five days community service the baby-faced singer has to complete as punishment for the vandalism charge.

Justin is currently working with MusiCares which is an organisation set up to help musicians fighting health and addictions problems and will remain on probation until 2016.

We presume Justin's egging days are now behind him!

If you've ever patted yourself on the back for arriving to work at 9.04am instead of your usual 9.15am, or confidently strolled into a restaurant at 8.30pm thinking that's what everyone else meant by "7ish," then you can count yourself as a member of the Late People's Club.

Some of us are just naturally late. It's nothing personal against anyone, we just can't seem to make it anywhere on time.

Our fellow latecomers will understand, but when you're the only Late Person in your group of friends/class/office, it can result in some seriously awkward situations.

Here are a few Late Person problems we face every day. The struggle is real, folks.

1. Battling the snooze button 
In your half-awake state you somehow manage to convince yourself that you DEFINITELY don't need to get up yet, or at all for that matter. Cue a frantic rush out the door with no make-up on when you finally jolt awake fifteen minutes before you're meant to be in work. Oops.

2. Rushing. Always rushing.
It's a wonder you haven't given yourself a stomach ulcer by now for the amount of public transport-related stress you experience every day. "Why, why, WHY is this bus driving so slowly?"

3. Always being late no matter how much time you allow
It's as if the tasks you need to do to get ready somehow expand to fit the time you have. Oh, you've allowed yourself an hour to get ready for your night out instead of 45 minutes? Don't worry… you'll still be late as usual.

4. Enduring the tense silence when you enter an important event late
Even if you've only missed the first 30 seconds of that morning meeting, the pain of trying to find a seat, take your coat off and mutter "sorry, sorry, bus was late" while everyone pretends not to judge you is enough to make you swear you'll NEVER be late again. Until next week.

5. Struggling to come up with new excuses every time
"Bad traffic" worked for a while, until you accidentally mentioned to your boss that you walk to work every day. "Um… I couldn't find my shoes?"

6. Arriving everywhere out of breath
There's nothing more attractive than showing up to your Tinder date fifteen minutes late with a big sweaty face. Sexy!

7. Debating whether to tell the truth to whoever's waiting
Ok, you could just own up and say you're running late and probably won't be in town for 40 minutes. But somehow every time it just feels easier to send a cheery "There in five!" text. Five what? Five hours?!

8. Deluding yourself that you actually WILL be "there in five"
It'll be graaaand. Just don't check your watch for at least twenty minutes to keep up the illusion.

9. Reeling in shock when something starts on time
Yes, the film was due to start at 6.30pm. But we all know that the ads take at LEAST half an hour, right? Right?!

10. Allowing just enough time, only for something to go drastically wrong
Ah, the bus broke down. Great. Just great. Why is the whole world against us?!

Rapper Nicki Minaj  is no stranger to controversy, but she may have gone too far this time. The thirty-one-year old singer has come under fire as a result of the video for her latest track, Only.

The Anti Defamation League has slammed Nicki for using “unadulterated Nazi imagery” in her new animated video. The video, also featuring Drake, Lil Wayne and Chris Brown, is littered with what appears to be various references to Nazism.

Nicki appears as a dictator, while soldiers sporting red arm bands reminiscent of those worn by SS officers also feature, but unfortunately, it doesn’t stop there.

Flags with interlocking Y and M letters have been compared to swastikas while explosions and gas masks only add to the speculation that the Anaconda singer is trivialising that particular period in history.

The national director of ADL, Abraham H Foxman, who himself survived the Holocaust has said: “This video is insensitive to Holocaust survivors. The abuse of Nazi imagery is deeply disturbing and offensive to Jews and all those who can recall the sacrifices Americans and many others had to make as a result of Hitler’s Nazi juggernaut.”

Nicki has yet to comment or respond to the allegations. What do you think of the rapper's latest offering?

If you're trying to drop a few pounds, a simple tip is just to skip the fad diets and stock up on non-processed, wholesome food that'll keep you full and boost your metabolism.

Some foods can even do a bit of the work for you when it comes to losing weight. Here are a few to include in your "Christmas party dress" diet….

1. Mushrooms
These cute little vegetables really pack a nutritional punch – and they help to regulate blood sugar too, meaning your body can maintain a healthy weight more easily and can endure exercise for longer. Forget the Lucozade Sport and cook yourself up some of these bad boys!

2. Eggs
Eggs are a great breakfast option that will leave you feeling full right up until lunch. They're also a great addition to salads for a lunchtime meal that won't have you craving snacks later.

3. Apples
Fibre is the name of the game if you're trying to avoid late afternoon hunger pangs, and apples are full of the stuff! They're also a great energising food to eat first thing in the morning. 

4. Porridge
The slow-release carbohydrates in porridge oats mean you won't be looking for a bar of chocolate or a biccie come 11am. Top your bowl with berries, seeds and nuts for an even healthier morning meal.

5. Almonds
Raw almonds are the dieter's best friend – they're a great quick fix for hunger pangs. Try to limit yourself to a handful – chew them slowly to let your brain register the feeling of fullness.

6. Broccoli
This low-calorie veg is full of fibre, and works great as a substitute for other high-fat side dishes. Swap your chips or mash for broccoli and other cooked veg once or twice a week and you'll soon notice you feel less bloated and more energised.

Katy Perry has opened up about the pain she went through following the breakdown of her marriage to Russell Brand in 2012.

The singer was speaking to an Australian outlet when she described how her depression following the split is chronicled through her music: “Sometimes you can be blinded by your extreme emotions. I definitely was looking for answers, and during that time I wrote that song, and I was depressed and it was sad.”

Katy said she decided to share her experiences in her songs to let other people suffering with depression that they’re not alone: “I wanted to share that side of my story because I know there are so many other people out there that have gone through things like that, and you always feel like you’re the only one going though it.”

We're so glad Katy is feeling better! 

If you are affected by any of the issues in this article, please call The Samaritans.

No matter what healthy eating tactics you try, sometimes a craving for junk just creeps up on you out of the blue.

If you can practically set your watch by that 3pm hankering for chocolate, maybe it's time to take control. Here are five common mistakes to avoid if you're trying to curb those cravings once and for all…

1. You skip breakfast
Yup, your mum was right. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, full stop. A protein-filled morning meal will not only set you up mentally and physically for the day, but it'll also reduce cravings as the afternoon goes on. Scrambled eggs and brown toast or porridge with a spoon of peanut butter are both great protein-packed brekkie options that will satisfy you for the day ahead.

2. You over-indulge
Sometimes, there's just no avoiding that junk food craving. So, who cares, you're going to eat that Dairy Milk/cake/brownie and you're going to enjoy it. But rather than inhaling the whole thing, try savouring just a small amount instead, then putting the rest away and waiting for at least fifteen minutes. You'll most likely find that a small amount was just enough.

3. You eat nothing when you get a craving
If a sugar or salt craving is your body's way of telling you it needs fuel, don't just ignore it! Substitute high-fat foods with a healthy alternative like fruit or nuts – a snack that will satisfy you and distract your brain from its "I need Doritos" campaign.

4. You guilt yourself afterwards
Okay, you ate a biscuit. Or, all of the biscuits. Rather than shaming yourself for giving in, just accept the fact that you ate something tasty and you enjoyed it. By linking "bad" foods to guilt in our brain, we become less able to cope with and overcome cravings for those foods.

5. You keep temptation nearby
If there's a bag of crisps or a box of Celebrations sitting within arm's reach, you're probably going to find yourself mindlessly indulging. So keep healthy snacks nearby instead, and remove temptation from your cupboards at home. After all, if those chocolate HobNobs aren't there, you can't eat them!

If you haven't watched last night's season finale of Love/Hate then what are you doing here?! You're about to read the entire episode in GIF's which, trust us, does it no justice!

If you did watch it, then like us, you may have had an emotionally turbulent time between 10.15-10.30pm last night…

We're still recovering.

Here are the reactions we experienced during last night's episode of Love/Hate:

1. When we were waiting for the action to happen for like, 45 minutes…

2. When poor Janeh got tortured with a saw and we realised Aardn would never get that ‘word’ from Nidge he’d been promised for about six months

3. When we realised Fran wasn’t going to get to kill Nidge after all…

4. When Noely said he was going to ‘smash’ Fran’s back door in…

5. When we realised what he actually meant by that and the pool cue was snapped in half…

6. Everything that happened in that scene after that…

7. When Nadine said she wasn't a prostitute and Ado thoroughly disagreed

8. When Donna called Siobhán ‘chicken’ for the ten millionth time…

9. When Detective Moynihan ate Nidge's tax disc…

10. When we realised we haven't heard Tommy talk in about a year…

11. When Siobhán started shouting at Nidge and wouldn’t stop and Warren wouldn’t go inside

12. When Patrick arrived on the scene and all hell broke loose…

13. When Siobhán lay bleeding (but STILL breathing people!)

14. When Patrick shot Nidge twice (but not once in the head, people!) and Warren was watching, rather calmly we might add

15. When it ended and we realised it would be another year before we find out if King Nidge has lived, if Donna would ever see her chicken alive again, if Fran will ever play a round of pool again and if Leighton would ever get out of that feckin’ apartment and into some fresh air

16. When we decided it was the best episode yet and how much we cannot wait for season six…

Emeli Sandé has announced that her one year marriage to Adam Gouraguine has ended in divorce.

The singer admitted that after the ten year relationship came to an end, she was almost close to a breakdown: “Everyone thought I’d gone mad. ‘What do you mean a divorce? We were all at your wedding a few months ago!’ … But there was something inside me that said, ‘This isn’t the life. You’re pretending to be someone else.’”

Despite the relationship breakdown and divorce, Emeli says she will keep a tattoo that reads ‘I Love You Adam’ in the Serbian language.

Poor Emeli, it’s always difficult to deal with these things in the public eye so at least she got to grieve for the relationship outside of the spotlight.

It's two weeks before payday and you suddenly realise you have all of €50 left in your bank account. Cue a fortnight of Tesco Value meals, walking to work and checking EVERY pair of jeans you own for a stray fiver.

If this sounds like your life on a regular basis, the way you shop could be to blame

Here are a few bad habits to keep an eye out for next time you hit the shops… it's time to say goodbye to that mid-month money crisis!

1. You try too hard to keep up with celebs and style bloggers
Yes, we may spend the majority of our working day lusting over Taylor Swift's outfits but that doesn't mean we should be planning to replicate her look entirely with an all-out splurge in Brown Thomas. Celebrity fashion is a great source of inspiration, but always try to keep purchases well within your budget.

2. You shop now… and think later
That amazing winter coat might look absolutely stunning with your new leather boots, but it's not going to be quite so alluring when you're struggling to pay rent and bills next week. Try to keep track of your spending with an online banking app or simply by keeping receipts and taking note. Little purchases (or one big one) can soon add up to deplete your month's finances.

3. You shop by trend
Metallics and leopard print might be all over the catwalk this season but are they really necessary in your wardrobe? Your overall style (and your bank balance) will be much better off with a closet full of great basic pieces and one or two on-trend items, rather than a pile of one-season clothes that you know won't see the light of day after a couple of wears.

4. You buy a new outfit for every event
Night out with the girls? New outfit. Family dinner? New outfit. Work colleague's wedding? New outfit. Updating your wardrobe every time another social event comes around is a surefire way to run out of cash. Try on a few pieces at home, or borrow from a friend, before you go running off to Topshop in a panic.

5. You impulse buy
If you're anything like us, at least two thirds of your wardrobe consists of items you bought on a whim and will never wear, though you convince yourself you'll DEFINITELY need them some day. Next time you're tempted to impulse buy, step out of the shop and wait a day or two before making your decision. If you're still lusting after the item, maybe it's worth it. If not, well you've just saved yourself fifty quid!

6. You buy the same stuff over and over
"Yes but this is a SPECIAL pair of black skinny jeans." If your wardrobe is full of the same kind of items over and over, it might be time to shake up your spending habits. Go through all your duplicates, try them on and you'll soon realise you don't really need to buy seconds (or thirds) just yet.

7. You're a divil for online sales
When that 30% off email comes pinging into your inbox, it's as if the internet is calling out to you to spend, spend, spend. Wow, you had no idea you needed that gorgeous Zara dress that's now down to €80. Why? Well, because you probably DON'T need it.

8. You're a brand name snob
Okay, you make the odd trip to Penneys but aside from that you're a River Island/Oasis/Topshop fiend at heart. As for cheaper chain stores or budget shops, you'd never been seen dead buying something there. But the secret of the truly stylish among us is that they don't care where they buy their clothes as long as they fit well and look fab.

9. You shun charity shops
You can't bear the thought of shopping in Oxfam, but that vintage shop next door tempts you every time. Newsflash: they're pretty much the same thing. Yes, you'll have to root around the charity shop shelves for longer and you won't find something every time, but think how smug you'll feel when you walk out with that AMAZING dress/coat/shirt for a fraction of the price it should have been sold for!

10. You have no idea what's in your wardrobe
Unless you've moved house or had a spring clean recently, you probably have no idea what you'd find if you raided your own closet. Spend a few hours shopping your wardrobe next time you have the urge to hit the shops!

Mary-Kate Olsen has sparked rumours she has had plastic surgery on her face following a red carpet appearance last week.  

The actress stepped onto the red carpet alongside her sister Ashley at the 2014 World of Children Awards in NYC last Thursday.

However, her appearance was a little less ‘Olsen’ than normal, sparking rumours that she has gone under the knife…

Renée Zellweger caused similar talk when she appeared on the red carpet a few weeks, sporting what many believed to be a dramatically different appearance. 

Mary-Kate is also rumoured to have tied the knot with Olivier Sarkozy recently after they were spotted wearing matching gold bands.
