It has been one hell of a dramatic week for Mel B. While we still don’t know the truth about this “mystery illness” she was diagnosed with last week, her family are very publicly at odds with her husband.

While Mel has yet to address the rumours surrounding the state of her marriage to Stephen Belafonte, her mother Andrea has sparked fresh concerns with a series of worrying tweets.

Andrea, who shared her deep concern over Mel’s welfare on Twitter last week, took to her social media page to slam Belafonte for his ‘abusive’ behaviour towards her.

“Little good newa 4 [sic] me lost half a stone in 1 week [and] will never suffer a vile abusive 3am call from Stephen Belfonte again!!” she tweeted.

In another rather worrying tweet, she wrote: “On average it takes 30 beating 4 [sic] a woman to leave [an] abusive man, how sad, more should be done 4 these victims!!”

Stephen has publicly denied accusations that he had something to do with the bruises on Mel’s face and arms during the X Factor final on Sunday night.

Mel has yet to make an official statement, and we’re wondering how long it will be before she eventually has to speak out about the rumours.

We pondered the strange wording of Caroline Flack’s sarcastic tweet to ex-boyfriend Jack Street last week, and now it seems that she was dropping a heavy hint at the true reason behind their split.

When Jack appealed to his social media followers to vote for Caroline to make it into the final of Strictly Come Dancing, the former X Factor host accused him of trying to ease his guilt over their split and told him to ‘fill himself with glee’.

Now it has emerged that the 35-year-old may have been making a reference to former Glee actress Dianna Agron, whom it has been revealed has been getting very close to Jack while he works with singer Sam Smith in the States.

Dianna starred in the video for Sam’s song I’m Not the Only One, and rumour has it that she and Jack had a lot of fun partying together – something which Caroline only recently found out about.

“Caroline didn’t know Jack was at those places and only found out later though friends,” a source told The Sun.

Something tells us the drama has only just begun!

Uh-oh. We think someone is about to be in some big trouble, and that someone is Kris Jenner.

The Kardashian matriarch is usually not one to get caught up in drama with her daughters, but it seems she just couldn’t resist when Kim sent her a nasty email criticising her style.

Kris turned up to the Hollywood Reporter Women in Entertainment breakfast last week looking gorgeous in a chic black dress with a white collar and ribbon detail in the cuffs.

While Kris seemed to be delighted with her choice of attire for the event, daughter Kim was not, and she decided to make her thoughts known in a cruel email.

The email, which Kris subsequently shared with her Instagram followers last night, read:

“I love you mom but no more pilgrim adams [sic] family outfits…you have exhausted this look, done. Move on, we need chic tights dresses not this omish [sic] s*** anymore”.

It’s obvious that Kris was hurt by Kim’s words as she wrote:

“After spending an amazing morning at The Hollywood Reporter Women in Entertainment breakfast, and while I was in my car and hadn't even gotten home yet, my LOVELY daughter @kimkardashian sent me this delightful email after she apparently saw my picture online…so I wanted to share with you her special holiday cheer. #ithoughtilookedfab #cantdoanythingrightlol.”

Needless to say, Kris’ followers have been jumping to her defence, telling her not to listen to Kim, and we have to agree with them.

You looked fabulous, Kris!

Deciding to pan out in the cinema for a night of relaxation is always ruined when you realise you’ve forgotten the cardinal style rule for a night at the flicks; stretchy, stretchy, stretchy.

When you’re in a pair of jeans that are cutting off the circulation to your brain (well, they will be after a wheelbarrow of popcorn anyway) you can kiss goodbye to a chilled-out evening.

Here, girls, is all you need to do and wear for a trip to the cinema. Take note!

Hair

Loose is the only way to go here, ladies.

Who needs bobby pins digging into their heads when they’re trying to get their flake on?

Pants

Like your hair, we’re talking loose, loose, loose.

Ok, so pyjamas are ‘technically’ frowned upon, but could you possibly ditch the ones that sport sleeping sheep and get away with that black pair? Who would ever know?

T-shirt

Hoodies are normally considered the go-to guy in cases of major chill- fests, but you’re playing with fire here. What if you get too hot and all you have beneath is a skimpy cami?

Ladies, you need to opt for a cotton T-shirt (optimal breathing material) for when your nacho sweats kick in.

Outer wear

Like we said, ditch the hoody in a stuffy cinema.

Go for a soft, long sleeved cardigan, your arms stay warm but the open-buttoned lay-out of your standard cardigan accommodates any food baby issues.

Footwear

Considering all of the above, you’re not really going to want to team your killer heels with that sassy ensemble.

Cons all the way.

Now your sexy ensemble is complete, go eat and flake your heart out.

It always seemed like Khloe Kardashian and her younger brother Rob enjoyed a relatively good relationship despite butting heads like siblings tend to do, but this may no longer be the case.

30-year-old Khloe is making serious threats against her brother if he doesn’t vacate her L.A mansion by the end of the year, with a family insider revealing: “She’ll consider legal action to force him out if he’s not gone by January.”

Khloe, who appears to have given the troubled Kardashian son a safe haven in recent months, is no longer happy with the arrangement and wants him out, calling the 27-year-old ‘lazy’.

Rob’s behaviour is a major concern to his older sister Khloe, with sources saying: “He orders food, smokes pot and spends hours watching TV and playing video games. He sleeps all day and stays up all night." Reports also claim that weeks can go by without Rob ever leaving his sister's home.

Apparently hard-working business woman Khloe is unimpressed by Rob’s lifestyle and work ethic with reports claiming: “He hasn’t made any attempt at getting work, going to therapy, getting help or giving up drugs.”

It doesn’t sound like Rob is in a very good place at the moment, so we hope he gets the support he needs.

Oscar-winning actress and all-round wholesome human being, Gwyneth Paltrow, was denied the chance to contribute to Yahoo Food because she doesn’t have any little letters after her name.

Yep, that’s right, the Yahoo CEO and president Marissa Mayer decided that Gwyneth should have attended university if she wanted to write for foodie site, Yahoo Food.

Commenting on the situation, one executive said: “Mayer disapproved of the fact that Paltrow did not graduate college.” This seems a little short-sighted considering the fact that Chris Martin’s ex practically personifies healthy eating and all-round well-being and would therefore be a very valuable asset to the site!

Gwynnie has, after all, written and created a best-selling cookbook in addition to being the face of popular lifestyle website, Goop. Maybe someone should tell Marissa that Gwyneth managed to do all this and take home an Academy Award WITHOUT having to sit through 9am lectures.

But here’s the bottom line kids- Marissa Mayer only considers university graduates as potential website contributors and poor old Gwyneth fell short on that front. We bet Gwyneth’s really kicking herself for focussing on her amazing acting skills now.

Darn it!

Yes, Christmas is a time of joy and family fun, but it's also a time of awkward chit-chat with extended family you haven't clapped eyes on since this time last year.

Once you've covered the "aren't we so lucky with this mild weather?" and "God, hasn't the year FLOWN" basic chit-chat topics, it can be hard to figure out what to say next.

To avoid choking on your turkey with the awkwardness of it all, here are a few pop culture moments from 2014 to bring up if you're in need of a conversation starter…

1. With teens 
Teenage cousins who'd rather be anywhere but here, cranky adolescent siblings… you get the picture.

– "On a scale of amazing to AMAZING, what did you think of Taylor's new album?"

– "Do you reckon Justin is going to win Selena back? Her performance at the AMAs broke my heart."

– "Those new Instagram filters, amirite?"

2. With middle-aged relatives
Long-lost aunts and uncles, the Godmother you haven't seen since 2003, etc.

– "Who knew Stevie Wonder had NINE kids? The man's a machine."

– "Have you managed to delete the new U2 album from your phone yet?" N.B: confirm they're not a U2 fan first.

– "How amazing was Ellen's Oscar selfie? I vote we re-create it for this years family picture."

3. With those of an older vintage
Grandparents, grand-aunts, grand-uncles, elderly relatives… and so on.

– "I think 2014 was Ryan's best Toy Show yet, don't you?"

– "Enda's Christmas message: what's the verdict? He did well to throw in that Facetime line."

– "The Mrs. Brown's Boys Christmas Special – hit or miss? I think they used up all the best material for the movie, personally."

4. Your emergency bonus topic
For when a serious tumbleweed hits

– "So, what did we all think of Kim Kardashian's bum in that photo shoot?" *runs away*

We can’t imagine A-lister Johnny Depp will be too happy now that his secret New Years Eve plans have been revealed to the public!

The Pirates of the Caribbean actor will be hosting a New Years Eve party at the end of the month, but apparently 2015 isn’t the only thing his guests will be celebrating!

It has been reported that Johnny and his fiancee Amber Heard will be tying the knot on the 31st in front of A-list attendees, including Les Miserables star Helena Bonham Carter and Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler.

Apparently, the acclaimed actor, who turned 51 in the summer, is normally quite low-key so his decision to host a massive party on Amber Island in the Caribbean raised a few eyebrows and led many to believe that Amber would be taking a step or two up the aisle.

Reports that 27-year-old Amber had decided to postpone wedding plans due to Johnny’s drinking habits have been officially quashed with this latest news.

The couple began dating in 2012 after meeting on the set of The Rum Diary and we can’t wait to hear that they made the plunge!

Ever since Sesame Street introduced us to the mind-bending wonder that was dogs with human hands, we've always found it juuuust a little creepy.

So we're not sure how to feel about this Christmas dinner video from pet food company Freshpet, which features an array of very dignified cats and dogs enjoying Christmas dinner.

There's the cat who rocks a sweater vest…

The ghetto bulldog…

And the surly teen…

Even though the human hands are freaking us out QUITE a bit, we have to admit this video made us laugh… especially the dog casually petting his OWN PET DOG. So meta.

It’s not so long ago that Nicki Minaj confirmed that she had split from her long-term boyfriend Safaree Samuels, and now that reports are claiming that she has taken up with a new man, it seems Samuels is feeling the strain of their split.

According to reports, Samuels has caught word that Nicki is dating fellow rapper Meek Mill, with the revelation leaving him devastated.

A source told entertainment site TMZ that Samuels has become a total “shut-in” after hearing about Nicki’s alleged hook-up, and shockingly, friends say he has spoken “openly” about suicide.

Nicki and Samuels dated for 12 years and announced their split back in October, following weeks of rumours.

Nicki was recently questioned by Ryan Seacrest over her potential new romance with Mill, but she denied any claims that she had a “new boy”.

For anyone looking for a little incriminating evidence against a Coronation Street star, cast member Brooke Vincent has given it to you on a plate!

The actress took to her social media to share a carefully selected snap from the cast’s Christmas party, but accidentally shared the secret password to see the entire collection of private photos. Yikes!

If Brooke is anything like us, she likely spent all afternoon trying to find a mildly acceptable photo of herself and her friends. But all that effort counts for nothing now, as her near 500,000 followers have the photo booth passcode.

Show bosses had pulled out all the stops to ensure that the cast and crew could enjoy a little privacy on their big night out, reportedly getting the catering staff at the event to sign a confidentiality clause.

While we feel it would take a lot of effort to track down the photo booth suppliers to actually get up to any mischief with the information, we can’t imagine some of the cast will be too happy knowing that the public now has access to their drunken pictures.

Let this be a lesson learned, Brooke!
