Oh no, there is some trouble in paradise as TOWIE and Geordie Shore couple Marnie and Ricky seem to have ended their engagement. 

The couple got engaged just six months after they began dating but it seems the relationship has ended as quickly as it began. 

Marnie Simpson and Ricky Rayment unfollowed each other on Twitter yesterday following an upsetting tweet from the Geordie girl.

She tweeted yesterday saying: "I couldn't of ever imagined what this day would bring. My heart is broken. "

Marnie also removed her fiancé from her Twitter bio and from her cover photo on her profile. 

Followers were quick to offer their support saying they were so sorry to hear the news and that they have been thinking about her all day. 

Rumours of the split were sparked on Saturday night when the couple were set to appear together at a club event. However, Ricky turned up to the appearance solo. 

It seems Marnie has now deleted any pictures of her and her former fiancé from her Instagram account where she used to post several couple selfies.

We love our best friends; they are ALWAYS there when we need them the most, bring us our favourite chocolate when we're sad and even tell us when our outfits are really bad. 

To be honest, we would be lost without them.

So if you have already found your BFF, here are the signs that they will stick around for life:

1. You can finish each others sentences and know exactly what the other means by just giving them a look. Some people think it's weird but you really don't care.

 

2. You are able to sit in silence and it's not awkward – hey, sometimes you just need a few minutes to scroll through Instagram.

 

3. You just KNOW when they've had a bad day. You also know exactly how to cheer them up. 

 

4. You can tell them when they're being out of line – without feeling guilty for calling them out. You're just doing the best for them.

 

5. You also can tell them when they are wearing a really bad outfit. Green and silver sequins is just a no-go girl.

 

6. When you find out they totally had your back when you weren't there. #Respect.

 

7. You're genuinely happy for each other's success. NO fake-smiling here.

 

8. They're new partner was super nervous meeting you for the first time – because you are kind of a big deal.

 

9. Venting on Whatsapp at 2am about your love life/job/parents is totally acceptable.

 

10. You might not speak for ages, but when you do, it's like you were together yesterday.

It turns out, which isn't too surprising, that having a laugh with your partner is a good indication of the well-being of your relationship. 

A study that was published in the Personal Relationships journal tested 77 couples who had been in a relationships for an average of four years. 

During the study, psychologist Laura Kurtz asked the couples to describe how they first met and Laura and her team looked out for signs of spontaneous laughing. They measured how often and for how long each couple laughed together during the testing.

Following this, each couple filled out a survey explaining their satisfaction and their closeness in the relationship and Laura explained that "In general, couples who laugh more together tend to have higher-quality relationships.”

The psychologist then explained that "We can refer to shared laughter as an indicator of greater relationship quality.”

So it turns out as long as couples laugh together, they are sharing moments that strengthen their relationship as “moments of shared laughter are potent for a relationship. They bring a couple closer together.” 

Who new a good joke was so important?

When it comes to style disasters – pretty much no celebrity is immune from the odd wardrobe mishap or sartorial disaster.

In fact, we're pretty sure that somewhere, at some stage, even Olivia Palermo has had an off-day.

And certainly, over her decade-and-a-half long career, a certain Britney Spears has also had her fair share of style catastrophes.

The list is arguably too long to delve into (double-denim with Justin Timberlake, anyone?) but few could forget her memorable-for-all-the-wrong reasons MTV VMA performance back in 2007 – a lip-syncing car-crash that was widely panned and ridiculed in the aftermath.

Still, eight years later, Ms Spears has certainly redeemed herself: she turned up to this year's VMA offering last night in a figure-hugging gold dress that turned heads and very possibly stole the show.

Yes, the 33-year-old mother-of-two was undeniably stunning wearing an unforgiving limited edition gown from Labourjoisie’s 2015 collection.

The thigh-skimming number features a low neckline, and cut-out panels at the waist and abs – not for the faint-hearted, granted, but Brit-Brit pulled it off perfectly.

Of course, the superstar remains one of the world’s most successful musicians – but her 2007 VMA appearance was the beginning of her now infamous downward spiral.  

She had a mental breakdown, underwent emergency psychiatric treatment, and her family feared for her life and the safety of her children.

In fact, for a period of time, she even lost custody of her two sons – Jayden James, nine, and Sean, eight – and a court handed over control of her personal and financial affairs to her father (that set-up is ongoing).

However, these days, things are looking a lot more positive for Britney, and TMZ reported recently that her “doctors have stabilised her to the point she can successfully work and maintain a personal life”. 

In late 2013, Ms Spears began a two-year residency show Britney: Piece Of Me at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. She is currently paid around €425,000 per performance.

Andrew Hozier Byrne has finally given us an insight into who he likes to hang out with in his spare time and we want to join the crew. 

The singer posted a picture on Twitter yesterday in which he is partying with One Direction members Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan and one of our favourite people, Ed Sheeran. 

This group of lads look like they are having some serious craic as they pose in the photo booth with drinks in hand and Hozier said: "I had to hang this on a fridge. I had to. Fun times."

The Bray singer recently announced that he might be taking a break from music for a while. 

While on BBC's radio's Good Morning show, he explained that a hiatus may be on the cards, the same week One Direction announce the same thing. 

“It’ll be nearly two years on the road at that stage, and I’d loved to take a break and think about the next album,” he said

Hozier, who has become extremely successful in just two short years, has been touring the world non-stop since he gained success with Take Me To Church. 

The singer was also nominated for two MTV VMAs last night for Take Me To Church which was up for Best Rock Video and Best Direction.

We are seriously beginning to think that Taylor and her girl squad are planning on taking over the world and we are starting to get a little worried. 

Taylor has claimed pretty much every celebrity every as her BFF while performing all over the world as part of her 1989 World Tour and last night she was pictured with quite a few of them. 

She showed up on the red carpet for the VMAs with some of her pals in tow, including Cara Deleveinge, Gigi Hadid, Karlie Kloss and the rest of the cast for her music video Bad Blood. 

Taylor, who was nominated for nine awards, scooped four of the coveted trophies last night including two awards for Blank Space and two for Bad Blood. 

The singer went on stage to accept the Video of The Year award for Bad Blood while joined by her girl squad and her collaborator Kendrick Lamar.

Aside from just winning awards, Taylor presented them too, giving Kanye West the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award to honour his career to date. 

Back in 2009 when Taylor won an award over Beyoncé, Kanye stormed to the stage to tell her that Queen Bey should have won. This year, Kanye pretended to run on stage during her acceptance speech before sitting back down again and pretending to take a nap. 

Kanye then went on to give an 11 minute speech during which he announced that he is going to run for president in the year 2020. 

Here is the full list of awards from last night:

Best Rock Video: Fall Out Boy, Uma Thurman

Best Pop Video: Taylor Swift, Blank Space

No Eurosaver cheese burger for us, no siree – McDonald's is about to get seriously fancy, all with an Irish twist too.

Yes, the fast food chain is releasing its limited edition McMó​r, and it's arriving THIS Wednesday.

Branded as an "Irish artisan burger," it includes Ballymaloe relish and Charleville cheddar cheese and will be available in all 88 McDonald’s restaurants across the country for a limited, six week period.

As well as the relish and cheese, there is also the McMó​r's potato-flaked bun to look forward to, as well as 100 percent Irish beef and bacon, shredded cabbage, and whole baby leaf kale.

It's been in development for more than a year too and today McDonald's said in a statement: "We’re delighted to launch the McMór – and to be collaborating with great Irish producers to create our first ever Irish artisan burger."

Other limited edition items to hit restaurants around the world include the McLobster, available seasonally in parts of the US and Canada; the McHotDog; the McLean Deluxe, a reduced fat offering, and the chain's black burger – a squid-ink infused, Halloween-themed delight occasionally on offer in Japan.

Every year, something dramatic goes down at the MTV VMAs (we're thinking Kanye storming the stage to ambush Taylor Swift in 2012, or Britney's car-crash Piece Of Me staging in 2007), but last night just seemed particularly insane.

We were all expecting the MANY crazy outfits by host Miley Cyrus, but no one was expecting the major shade thrown between her and Nicki Minaj. 

Miley made it clear earlier this week that she had zero interest in patching things up with Nicki following their recent Twitter feud. 

But Nicki was not about to let her have the last word. While accepting the award for Best Hip Hop Video, the Anaconda singer turned her attention back to the host saying: "Back to this bitch, who had a lot to say about me in the press the other day." 

Rebel Wilson, who was on stage with Nicki at the time, had an expression so shocked that it pretty much summed up how the entire world was feeling watching at that very moment. 

No – there was just no getting away from the serious awkwardness of the entire scenario. 

Miley was always going to create controversy of sorts at the awards ceremony, but we're not sure this is what she had in mind. Still, and in fairness to the Wrecking Ball singer, she actually managed to acknowledge the shade without throwing it back at her. 

“Hey, we’re all in this industry, we all do interviews and we all know how they manipulate shit," she said politely. 

“Nicki, congratulations.”

To make things even worse for the 22-year-old, Nicki and Taylor Swift seemed like they were serious besties last night, even though Taylor was recently involved in her own well-documented Twitter feud with the rapper. 

The pair performed together at the awards and Nicki even tweeted afterwards to say: "Taylor, thank you for being epic." 

Indeed, it seems like the Trinidad and Tobago native is trying to create her very own girl squad (sans former Hannah Montana star Miley, natch): she posted a picture last night of her look from the red carpet alongside Tay-Tay, Demi Lovato and Britney Spears. 

 

Kisses to my girls

Miley arguably got the last laugh though, as she made the HUGE announcement of a forthcoming album which she has kept completely under wraps. 

She surprised fans saying she would be releasing her new album Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz online… for FREE! 

The ceremony then closed with Miley singing and dancing with the cast of RuPaul's Drag Race.

She is determined to have a healthy pregnancy this time around.

Indeed, Kim Kardashian admits now that while pregnant with her daughter in 2013, she piled on the pounds.

It is something which she says contributed to her developing preeclampsia, and to the early arrival of North five weeks before her due-date.

So understandably, the reality TV star, currently expecting her second child, has hired a dietician – replacing her donut habit with plenty of freshly-prepared food.

Still, while promoting her new cookbook In The Kitchen With Kris, momager Kris Jenner revealed that her second eldest daughter is nevertheless indulging in occasional sweet treats.

“She like sweets right now,” Jenner, 59, told ExtraTv.com. “She probably shouldn’t eat too many sweets… but she loves all my desserts.”

The 59-year-old also said that her entire family have their personal favourite when it comes to their mum's home cooking.

“I know that every time Kendall comes home from being away from her modelling – she’ll be gone two to three months at a time – she will literally text me when she lands saying, ‘Can you make me the tomato basil pasta, can you make me this, can you make that?’”

Ah, Instagram, how we love you.

From all the celebrity photos we could ever need, to killer street style snaps, and dishes of delicious food (especially of the quirky kind) – we have to admit we're addicted. 

But with good pictures comes embarrassment, as I'm sure we've all experienced.

If you are not guilty of one of these, you're lying. 

 

1) Taking a selfie in a public place… and getting caught

We just wanted people to see our outfit of the day! But the SHAME when you get caught.

 

2) Spending WAY too long arranging make up/food/pets

We swear, those fresh flowers, perfume bottle and pretty items were all just lying there perfectly styled together – they were BEGGING me to take a picture.

 

3) Pondering over a caption for longer than five minutes

"What will I caption this pic?!"; "Is this funny or will people think I'm weird?"; "Am I being too abstract".

 

4) Letting boyfriends go hungry – because you need to snap your meal first

He hates you for it, but will give in – because he KNOWS how important it is. 

 

5) Taking 50 selfies in a row to get the 'perfect one'

But sometimes even that one isn't good enough, *open camera* – *selfie mode*… and it starts all over again. 

 

6) Struggling to show off all your accessories in the one picture

You have practically become a yoga instructor while cramping to get everything into one snap. Ouch. 

 

7) Stopping in the middle of the street to get the ideal angle

Because the traffic will wait for you, obvs.

When one beauty blogger found black dots on a blender sponge, she decided to investigate further.

Little did Stevie Miller know then what she was about to unearth: a half a dozen beetle-like creatures that had seemingly buried their way into the item.

With her mother looking on via Sky, she documented the examination on camera. The resulting clip was then posted to her Facebook page and has now been viewed 1.5million times.

The 20-year-old, who hails from Suffolk, uses a tweezers and scissors to dissect the beauty blender – a pink sponge applicator which she had recently ordered from the US.

"I realised there was a slight hole in it, which confused me endlessly as I'd only just got it," she explains to the camera.

"I did a little digging, and found two, very obscure strange bugs living inside my beauty blender.

"They'd been there the entire time, and they were strange-looking."

Holding one of the larger creatures to the camera, Stevie declares that she will be "sending the video to the maker of beauty blenders and say you need to make them bug-proof".

Ms Miller concludes with: "I'm probably going to get some skin disease now and will never be able to leave my flat again.

"I need a shower, I need bleach, I need Jesus."

Never buy a beauty blender from another country.
