Jones was the fizzy drink of choice for every teenager back in the 2000's. 

The red and blue-coloured drink was (and still is) popular for many, but now the soda brand has welcomed a pumpkin pie flavour to it's crew. 

With over a month to go until Halloween, it seems the world is becoming obsessed with pumpkin-flavour everything, from spiced lattes to scones and even pumpkin-spiced cupcakes. 

The autumn flavour is only available for a limited time, adding to the line of both strange and classic flavours that has built a cult following over the years. 

But pumpkin-pie isn't the only limited-edition flavour that is going to spice up your life as Jones have also introduced Blood Orange and Lemon Drop Dead; all in time for the festivities next month.

The autumn launches are each covered with haunting cartoon zombie and mummy faces, adding to their thrill of the scary day. 

The limited-edition drink will be available online and in selected stores. You can find your nearest store here.

Since last night, the hashtag #FreedomForKesha has been trending worldwide, and some people are curious as to why exactly that happened.

Yes, I'm obviously talking about Kesha (that's what the post is titled and that's why you clicked lol)... BUT SERIOUSLY, our lack of Kesha is problematic.

​Kesha has not released any new music since 2012.

Although at the time aside from the single Die Young, her album didn’t appear to make much of an impact in the first place. This was largely viewed as a result of her working with producer Dr. Luke.

Fans even set up a petition that aimed to release the singer from her contract with the producer as he was holding her back creatively. That year Kesha told Rolling Stone:

“What’s been put out as singles have just perpetuated a particular image that may or may not be entirely accurate.”

Two years later Kesha went to a rehab facility in order to recover from an eating disorder. Her mother later revealed on Twitter that her daughter was suffering from bulimia and Dr Luke was part of the problem.

In October 2014, Kesha filed a law suit against the producer in order to be released from her contract with him. The suit also alleged that she suffered “mental manipulation, emotional abuse and sexual assault” while working with Dr Luke.

He claimed she was trying to extort him and since then Kesha has been stuck in a legal battle unable to release any music. Court documents released this week had her attorneys saying that she is facing a “point of no return.”

 

Since then her fans have taken over social media in efforts to show their solidarity with Kesha.

Dr. Luke’s spokesperson said:

“As long as she continues to stand by her false claims of abuse against Dr. Luke and remains in breach of her contracts, he will continue to protect his professional and personal reputation.”

Ryan Reynolds appeared on US chat show Live with Kelly and Michael this week to chat about his upcoming movie Mississippi Grind. 

However, the hosts weren't particularly interested in the movie that much, as what they really wanted to know more about was Ryan's daughter James.

And we really don't blame them because we want to know all about her too!

The actor admitted that James' first word was Mama. 

"What my wife doesn't realise is that the baby calls me 'Mama' too."

Ryan also revealed that he has tattoos which he is planning to get removed.

"I have some tattoos from way back in the day," said Mr Reynolds.

"Anything you say, 'You know what? Let's put that on our body forever', you're going to have a sober second thought about it."

The 38-year-old also told Kelly and Michael that his little girl was unwell recently saying, "It was terrifying."

But Ryan kept it funny, admitting the embarrassing details of his daughter's fever.

"I was told to check her temperature…through her rectum, which for me it was like…'Nooo, it can't be'."

"There's a mouth! There's an armpit. There's got to be something!"

While it will probably come as no surprise to many, another recent study has found that the humble potato is one of the most fattening vegetables. What might be of more interest however, is that there are a few more vegetables that need to be given a wide berth if you’re looking to slim down.

Harvard researchers have said that rather than filling up on potatoes when you’re hungry, you should try and opt for brown rice or a wholemeal bread instead.

So what are the other vegetables we’re eating that might not be doing our healthy lifestyles any favours?

Celery

Often considered a dieter’s best friend, it has not been proven to help aid weight loss. However blueberries, prunes and cauliflower should apparently be considered instead.

Sweetcorn

Unless you’re eating fresh corn then you might want to give it a skip. The tinned or packaged kind tend to be devoid of the good nutrients that the fresh vegetable can provide for you. Similarly you may not reap the benefits of this vegetable when it’s covered in melted butter.

Peas

While they aren’t necessarily going to make you gain weight, researchers say that there are more nutrient dense (and tastier) vegetable options out there. Researchers again pointed to fruits for helping participants shed weight, as people tend to substitute them for sugary desserts. If you really want more veggies though, cauliflower came out as the top vegetable for helping aid weigth loss in this study.

You can't control waking up on the wrong side of the bed – but you CAN control what you do after you get out of it. 

There are so many factors that can make your mornings less-than-ideal, like hitting a traffic jam or forgetting your umbrella when there's a downpour (I bet we all know that horrible feeling), but other little morning habits could make you start your day on the wrong foot.

Set yourself up for the best day possible by avoiding these morning behaviours:

Drinking coffee too early

Is there really ever a bad time for coffee? Well, yes, it turns out there is. Your energy levels rise naturally when you first wake up in the morning, so drinking coffee then causes an extra energy surge that can leave you jittery. 

Instead, you'll reap in more benefits if you drink coffee at least an hour after you've gotten out of bed. That's when your energy levels begin to plummet, so coffee will keep you in check for the afternoon. 

 

Your breakfast is too small

Grabbing a handful of berries and Greek yoghurt before you leave the house in the morning might sound like the perfect healthy breakfast, but something that small will set you up to binge in the afternoon or evening. 

Not only is it just not enough food, but it's lacking in nutrients that are key to feeling full. Adding some fibre and protein into your first meal of the day will set you up for whatever the day has in store.  

 

Checking your e-mails first thing

This one is a nasty habit that most of us are probably guilty of. Checking your inbox or social media the moment you open your eyes in the morning can set you up for stress all day. 

Instead of worrying about what the world is going to throw at you first thing, focus on starting the morning with something calming, like exercise, sipping on tea or talking to your friend. This will actually help your body's productivity level and get your creative juices flowing.

Hip-hop couple Nicki Minaj and Meek Mill appear in their first photo shoot together as a couple in the latest edition of GQ. In an interview with the magazine the pair talked about pretty much everything.

Including what it means to be ‘the most controversial couple’ in hip hop. The pair revealed that neither of them feel any fear about burning bridges with other stars, and possible friends, in lieu of supporting one another.

Despite the fact that Nicki has been rocking some serious bling since April the duo denied that they were engaged. Nicki did admit however that their romance really began when Meek was in jail last year. That was when she knew she loved him apparently.

“I saw him going off on Twitter, and I was like, ''Oh man, he needs somebody to, like, make him feel good right now.''

So when I heard he went to jail I was really disappointed. I reached out to his people like, 'Yo, let him know I'm praying for him to come home’,” Nicki explains.

“I definitely think we have a normal relationship off-camera. We're like any other couple in the hood,” Nicki added, pointing out that maybe their successful careers make them slightly different from normal couples.

Discussing their falling out with other artists Nicki simply said: “I'm very happy I tweeted about the VMAs, because Anaconda had too much of a cultural impact to not be up.  Taylor Swift called and we're good now. She didn't see the bigger picture. We talked. We got over it.”

Meanwhile she admitted that she may not always agree with Meek and his feud with Drake, but she will tolerate it. She added that “Meek Mill don’t regret nothing.”

So Drake probably won’t be having a heart-to-heart with Meek just like Taylor and his girlfriend then.

Over the summer while many celebrities seemed to be on in the habit of going their seperate ways, there was at least one couple we could count on to give us some hope. 

Apparently, they've been nicknamed G.I Joe, but if you had told model of the moment Gigi Hadid this seven years ago she probably would have laughed. Gigi, 20, and her boyfriend Joe Jonas, 26, have known each other since Gigi was 13. How did they meet?

 

A photo posted by Gigi Hadid (@gigihadid) on

In probably the most Hollywood fashion you could imagine: at the Grammys. 

In a Periscope Q & A, the model revealed that back then she had no intention of attaching herself to the Jonas brother. She said that he asked her to a baseball game and she said, "No, maybe next time."

"I was so nervous; I literally didn't even know what it meant to hang out with a boy," she explained.

She also didn't think that Joe realised that the Grammys were on a Sunday and she had school on Monday, so she didn't think it would work out. Joe was persistent though and Gigi said she remembers that Joe "wrote his number on a piece of paper and gave it to my mom."

While the age gap might seem a little off to some, ET Online explained that Gigi may have gotten the ages mixed up. Apparently while she was pictured with her parents David and Yolanda Foster at the 2010 Gremmys she was not pictured at the 2009 event. So she was probably 14 when she and Joe first met. 

The duo certainly seem to have moved on since then as they have been practically inseparable this summer. 

Ever since the news broke that Gigi and Australian singer Cody Simpson were no longer an item, pictures began to emerge of she and Joe almost everywhere. 

The runway model even hosted a very sweet (very star-studded) surprise birthday party for the former Disney star.

You can now add restauranteur to Drake's CV. 

Early this week, the 28-year-old rapper had a low-key celebration for the opening of his new restaurant, Fring. 

He opened the restaurant in his hometown of Toronto and invited his BFF Serena Williams, Jada Pinkett Smith and Jaden Smith. 

The menu for his restaurant is still under wraps, but the star did partner up with chef Susur Lee, of the restaurant Lee, Bent and Luckee. 

He also hired past contestants of US TV shows Iron Chef and Top Chef Masters to join the venture, so the food must be good! 

Drake has been a friend of Susur's sons Kai and Levi Bent-Lee for a while, which kind of explains the partnership, and according to Fashion Magazine, the menu will feature Asian hints as per Susur's signature, mixed with high-end snacks.

Celebrity stalking cases are ten a penny, but it's rare that the celebrity themselves is the one accused of doing the stalking.

That's what's going down in Kylie Jenner's world though, as the teen may have to rally her lawyers for a court case brought by a former love rival.

A 17-year-old named Chelsea Clark is seeking a restraining order on the grounds that Kylie made her life hell because of her connection to Jaden Smith.

Kylie and Jaden dated back in 2013, but Chelsea claims he wanted to be with her instead, sparking a three-year feud.

Quotes from Kylie during an alleged conversation between herself and Chelsea include "Leave my boyfriend alone cause you will never be like me" and "This is war."

The teen also hurt her back in a car accident… which she claims was masterminded by Kylie and her crew.

Chelsea's request for a restraining order has been denied, and she was due to bring evidence of conversations between herself and Kylie to court yesterday. 

She missed her slot, but a hearing has been scheduled for October 9.

As for Kylie, her camp insist they've never heard of Ms. Clark, and the youngest Jenner certainly didn't seem too worried on Twitter this evening:

Somehow we can't see this court case causing Kylie too much bother, especially considering she's now in a relationship with 25-year-old rapper Tyga.

As for Jaden, he's since moved on with model Sarah Snyder, who he was seen kissing openly at NYFW last week:

Poor Chelsea has a tough case on her hands.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie could be about to welcome a new addition to their ever-growing brood.

The couple are reportedly making plans to adopt a Syrian orphan, after Angelina made one of several visits to refugee camps in Turkey earlier this year.

As part of her work as a United Nations Special Envoy for Refugees, the actress travelled to the country to meet first hand with victims of the Syrian displacement crisis.

After meeting three young brothers who had been orphaned when their father was taken away by soldiers and their mother killed in a bombing incident, Angelina apparently made the decision to adopt again.

The Mr and Mrs Smith star, who has three adopted children and three biological children with her husband Brad Pitt, suggested adopting more than one orphan, but soon realised it was not a realistic plan.

"Angie wanted to adopt all three [Syrian brothers], but when she got back to the United States, and told Brad about it, he said no,' an insider tells RadarOnline.

"Going from six children to nine was just way too much, and Brad was concerned about how it would impact their other kids.

"Angie didn't put up a fight. She knew it just wouldn't work. But they compromised at adopting one."

As a result of her involvement with the UN, Angelina has made more than six visits to Syrian refugee camps.

Back in 2013, the actress urged the world's governments "to save a generation of traumatised, isolated and suffering Syrian children from catastrophe."

Anyone who has a long commute to work will know that it often feels like 'dead time.'

Unless you have a good book, or some pre-work prep to occupy you, there's not a lot else to keep you amused on that bus, train or even car journey.

So it doesn't seem totally unreasonable to us that you might decide to do your make-up during that time, thereby giving yourself more time in bed and less time bored on the bus.

But now one expert is urging women to stop doing their make-up on the go, saying it could pose a very real health risk.

"The modern-day phenomenon of applying make-up on the journey to work undoubtedly increases the risk of scratching your cornea," explained Dr Susan Blakeney of the UK College of Optometrists.

Any sudden jolt on the bus or train could result in any number of minor injuries from mascara wands, eyeshadow applicators or even tweezers, she says.

Plus, there's also the added risk of getting an eye infection from applying make-up with unclean hands. "The human eye is pretty resilient, but poor hygiene can lead to unpleasant infections."

That's us told.

After the huge success of their surprise single Drag Me Down in July, the One Direction lads have released details on what could be their final ever album.

A video posted to the band's official Twitter account today saw Harry, Niall, Louis and Zayn telling fans what to expect.

"Our new album Made In The AM is available for pre-order today," Harry explains. 

Fans keen enough to order the album in advance will also receive a free instant download of the band's newest single Infinity.

The album will officially drop on November 13, though we can probably expect another "surprise" single release before then.

As fans will know, this will be the lads' last studio album before they take a long-term break in March of next year.

The news was confirmed last month, first by The Sun's Dan Wootton, and later by the boys themselves.

"We are not splitting up, but we will be taking a well earned break at some point next year," Niall wrote on Twitter. 

"Don't worry though, we still have lots we want to achieve!"

Record label boss Simon Cowell said news of a hiatus didn't come as a surprise to him.

"After five years – I know what their schedule was like – it was gruelling. They would have burned themselves out," he admitted.

"They got so successful so quick and they've got so many great songs now that they could be doing this for 5 years, 10 years, 20 years."

With no new music on the horizon for 2016, the lads' upcoming album is no doubt going to be a good 'un.
