Just two months ago, model-turned-actress Cara Delevingne was forced to deny rumours of relationship troubles between herself and girlfriend St Vincent.

But today the stunning couple let their actions do the talking, as they sat front row at the Burberry Prorsum SS16 show in London.

The pair, who have been together since last summer, looked completely besotted with one another throughout the fashion show, which they attended in matching black Burberry cut-out dresses.

Whispering into one another's ears, Cara and her girlfriend (real name Annie Clark) couldn't have looked any more in love.

Of course, Cara wasn't only focused on her girlfriend, taking time to chat and laugh with some pretty high profile FROW-mates, Kate Moss and Sienna Miller.

Back in June, Cara took to Instagram to tell her followers she was "very much in love" with Annie, after some cryptic messages about heartbreak on her social media feeds led people to think a break-up was imminent.

And she drove the point home in a Vogue interview published just weeks later, describing her relationship with the singer as "a big part of why I’m feeling so happy with who I am these days."

Despite Cara's contentment now, she admitted it took her some time to embrace the fact that she was in love with a woman.

"It took me a long time to accept the idea, until I first fell in love with a girl at 20 and recognised that I had to accept it,” she said.

We're delighted to see the couple looking so happy together.

They're the gorgeous couple who have been inseparable since first meeting three years ago in Dubai.

Certainly, Mark and Michelle's glitzy summer wedding proved the high-point of what has very much been a picture-perfect, fairytale romance.

Still, as they both forge ahead with their respective careers, it seems that the love-birds are about to embark on their first big challenge of married life: a long period of separation.

Ms Keegan, 28, has now revealed that filming for BBC's five-part Our Girl drama will take her to Africa for a full three months in early 2016.

And she's not even sure if her 28-year-old reality TV star husband will be able to visit her.

 

Date night.

In conversation with the Sun On Sunday, the actress admitted: "I'm out there for a long time. Obviously I'll miss him and I'll miss home.

"But it's my first job working away properly and I'm just excited for the challenge.

"If Mark can come out then he will pay me a visit. It'll be tough but worth it."

If you're low on funds but looking for an outfit with a difference, your first port of call should always be your local charity shop.

Yes, high street shops and even dedicated vintage stores might look more appealing, but as long as you're willing to rummage a little and be creative, you're guaranteed to find charity shop gems at half the price you'd pay elsewhere.

And we're not talking random Penneys slogan t-shirts for €1, either. Proper vintage finds, amazing prints, tailored pieces and more are all hidden away on charity shop rails waiting for a new home.

Here are a few tips to ensure you get the most out of your next visit…

1. Be ruthless
You don't need to spend hours slowly browsing through the racks – keep an eye out for prints and textures that catch your eye and you'll be sure to find a gem soon enough. Oversized coats and sweaters are always good bets as sizing is less of an issue. Only buy pieces that you can actually imagine in your wardrobe, rather than saying 'Oh, I'll wear it at some stage.' You probably won't.

2. Don't be afraid to tailor
Just because that gorgeous fifties-style skirt is a size too big doesn't mean it wouldn't look perfect with a few nips and tucks. The same goes for sleeves that are too long or necklines that are too high. Stylist Courteney Smith is a huge advocate of tailoring both new and vintage finds – check out her Instagram for inspiration.

 

3. Don't just look for clothes
Why splurge on a new Topshop leather satchel when you could find a perfectly good one for a quarter of the price at St Vincent de Paul? Leather ages brilliantly, so handbags are always going to be a solid charity shop bet. Also keep an eye out for homewares… some well chosen mis-matched plates and cups can totally pimp up your kitchen collection.

4. Quality is key
Just because something is cheap doesn't mean you have to buy it. And likewise, if something in a charity shop seems over-priced, it could well be because you're getting a super high quality piece for a fraction of the usual cost. Materials like denim, wool and leather are all good finds as they're designed to look even better with age.

 

5. Keep an open mind
If you've never shopped in a charity shop before,  you may need a little attitude adjustment. Yes, the clothes are not as beautifully arranged as they are in other stores, and no things won't smell brand new, but that's the joy of vintage shopping. If you're still a little apprehensive, stick to shops that have a dedicated 'vintage' section with more unusual and colourful finds.

She is the petite popstar known for her racy on-stage attire and love of dresses that leave little to the imagination.

Which is why we were somewhere taken aback to hear that Rita Ora is supposedly concerned that her face is getting fat (her face is definitely NOT fat).

However, it seems that – if recent reports are to be believed – the 24-year-old’s complaints relate not to her actual face.

Instead, she is referring to a tattoo in her likeness emblazoned on her ex Rob Kardashian’s chest.

Of course, Mr Kardashian’s on-going battles with his weight have been well-documented. He quit his family’s mega-hit reality TV show in 2013 and has rarely been seen in public since.

It has been suggested that he previously tipped the scales at 135kg (300lbs) – although he seems to have slimmed down in recent months too.

Ms Ora and Rob, 28, dated more than three years ago. And although their union lasted just a year (she said they broke up because she was too busy focusing on her career) it seems that he was totally smitten during their time together.

And now Mirror.co.uk reports that the singer is less than sympathetic to her former flame’s current struggles to stay slim and healthy.

The website quotes a source who revealed: “Rita was with friends when Rob’s weight was brought up but she was more concerned about the tattoo.

“She was joking about how stretched it must look. Everyone was grossed out.

“She hasn’t spoken to him in ages, so she doesn’t know if he got it removed.”

Taking the plunge after just six months of dating, it is believed that the black-and-white portrait of the English popstar remains on Mr Kardashian’s torso – although with the help of his tattoo artist, he does have plans to have the image altered in the future.

The inking shows Ms Ora in a black bustier top and boyfriend jeans, with her blonde hair in tight curls – a snapshot taken from a shoot she did shortly before the pair began seeing each other.

'Netflix and chill' is the new 'want to come up for a drink?' in the world of dating – a casual suggestion that we all know is going to lead to something more.

Now, some smart tech folks have capitalised on the term with a new app that serves a genius function.

If you're bored and not in the mood to swipe through hundreds of potential Tinder matches, you can simply find out who is nearby and send them an invite to, you've guessed it… watch Netflix and chill.

Like this:

The app, TikiTalk, was launched last week to great success, but the founders say it was just a flukey idea.

"Netflix and chill is just so funny. It was everything we were about. Sending someone an invite or whatever, you can make them smile," co-founder Daniel Ahn told Unilad.

"With Tinder, you have to swipe with every person. With this app, you literally open it, and you see who’s around you. From there, you can send them an invite to Netflix and chill."

Just last week, another new app, Netfling, promised to find you a match based on your Netflix preferences, pairing people with lots of mutually loved shows.

And with TikiTalk, we reckon the circle is complete. Find a match who loves the same shows, then invite them up with a cheeky 'Netflix and Chill?' request.

Who needs Tinder?

Nutella – a king of foods; a champion among spreads.

Chocolate and hazelnut and sweet, sweet sugary goodness… coated on toast, a crepe, and fruit; used in cake, biscuits and buns, or devoured with a spoon on its own – all-in-all, it's tough to beat. 

And admittedly with such deliciousness on offer, we've never given much consideration to the pronunciation of the brand itself. After all, it seems fairly phonetic: nut followed by ella. Simples.

Not so, however. In fact, unless you're a particular clever-clogs, you've definitely been pronouncing the name incorrectly for your entire Nutella-eating life. 

The epiphany comes via a quick glance at the company's website: located under the FAQs section is "what is Nutella hazelnut spread?" – the answer to which is worded as such: "Nutella (pronounced 'new-tell-uh') is a tasty, unique spread made from the combination of roasted hazelnuts, skim milk and a hint of cocoa."

Yup, there it is – new-tell-uh – and NOT nut-ella. 

We hardly know what to say… except that the original (however incorrect) pronunciation is likely to continue to dominate for some time.

To some, cookies are treat-yourself food, a reward you give yourself every once in a while because your so damn healthy!

To others, they can be a go-to midnight feast (naughty), or something you eat with a cup of tea every day. 

We believe that cookie dough may be just as tasty as the cookie itself, so when we came across Delish's Cookie Dough Dip, we couldn't help but share it with you. 

Minus the flour and plus cream cheese, they have made cookie dough easy to make, way creamier and way dreamier. 

The dip takes only a few minutes to whip up, and you most likely have some of the ingredients already: a block of cream cheese, butter, icing sugar, and milk chocolate chips. 

Sounds good already, doesn't it? 

Blend the ingredients together as much as you can; you can whisk by hand if you want an arm workout or opt for an electric mixer so save some time (and sweat).

Then all you have to do is pick a dipper! Delish have used some fab-looking pretzels, but the choice is up to you. 

What the video for a quick tutorial:

So now we know why Nick Jonas favours a clean-shaven face.

The singer is branching out from music with a new role on Scream Queens alongside Lea Michele and Emma Roberts, but he's had to make a few changes to get into character.

Nick stepped out on set in Los Angeles this week looking nothing like his usual self – and it definitely wasn't a change for the better.

With a scruffy beard, goatee and shaggy haircut, the 23-year-old could have been mistaken for someone twenty years his senior.

Of course his outfit didn't help: belted chinos, a striped polo shirt and a green padded gilet.

Thankfully though, the facial hair at least was revealed to be fake, as Nick was seen minutes later beard-free. Phew…

Nick – who rose to fame playing alongside his siblings Joe and Kevin in The Jonas Brothers – has been trying his hand at the world of acting lately, and this is his biggest role yet.

The former pop star will play a frat boy named Boone on the new horror-comedy show, but his character certainly doesn't sound likeable.

"[My character] touches on the prick side. It’s very fun to play,” he told the Huffington Post, saying the show was an "exciting new journey" for him.

Prior to his Scream Queens role, Nick starred in a short-lived teen show with his brothers called Jonas, as well as appearing in Smash, Hawaii Five-O and Kingdom. 

He's had plenty of time to focus on his acting career of late, having split from his long-term girlfriend Olivia Culpo over the summer.

Since the break-up, Nick has been linked to model Kendall Jenner, though he swears there's nothing going on.

"Kendall is great and naturally with her being good friends with Gigi [Hadid] and with Joe [Jonas] and Gigi dating, there are times we’ll be in the same place and we all hang out," he explained, while insisting the pair were "not dating."

Well, he certainly won't be wooing any new ladies with that awful goatee…

Felicity Huffman is best known as the blonde Desperate Housewife from Wisteria Lane.

But last night, the 52-year-old actress looked almost unrecognisable as she showed off her chocolate brown locks at the Emmy Awards. 

Felicity first debuted her look at the Emmy Eve party in LA on Saturday night, where she wore a figure-hugging dress to show her toned physique. 

Her husband, William H Macy, was behind her all the way as she posed on the red carpet, her dark hair straightened and wearing delicate make-up. 

Her frock had a see-through mesh with gold pattern details, which she teamed with gold heels. 

At the official Emmy Award ceremony, Felicity opted for her hair in a messy updo, and wore a navy pleated halter gown. 

The star had been nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie, for her appearance in American Crime. 

Her husband was also nominated for a gong for his role in Shameless US. 

We love her new look and think her and her hubby look so cute together!

Jackie Collins was one of the world's top-selling novelists, with over 500m copies of her books sold in more than 40 countries and 30 of them bestsellers.

She was known for giving her readers an unrivalled insider's knowledge of Hollywood and the glamorous lives (and loves) of the rich and famous.  

From glittering rock parties and concerts to stretch limos and mansions, here are five of Jackie's books you need to read. 

Lucky, 1985

Lucky Santangelo is a woman ready for action. From LA to New York, Lucky fights for her father's honour but comes up against his evil wife.

Winning is all that matters in this book but you're sure to come across steamy romance scenes and exciting cat fights all the way through. 

 

Chances, 1975

Gino Santangelo's rise to prominence in the glitzy world of gambling and organized crime includes his adventures in Las Vegas, where he builds a multi-million-dollar hotel during the city's early years.

 

Hollywood Wives, 1983

They lunch at Ma Maison and discuss hot gossip. They cruise down Rodeo Drive in their Mercedes Benz and turn shopping at Gucci into an art form.

They are the Hollywood Wives, a privileged breed of women whose ticket to ride is their famous husbands. It's Hollywood at its most flamboyant. 

 

Lady Boss, 1990

The dangerously beautiful Lucky returns in Lady Boss. And this time the shockingly sensual, ruthlessly clever Lucky is out to conquer Hollywood! 

With Lady Boss, Jackie Collins brings back one of her most intriguing and endearing characters. She also proves once again that she is the unquestioned queen of glamorous fiction.

 

The Santangelos, 2015

A vicious hit. A vengeful enemy. A drug addled Colombian club owner. A sex crazed Italian family.

The ever powerful Lucky Santangelo has to deal with them all, while Max—her teenage daughter is becoming the “It” girl in Europe’s modeling world. And her Kennedy-esque son, Bobby, is being set up for a murder he didn’t commit. But Lucky can deal with it.

Friends may have ended a whole decade ago, but fans still love re-imagining alternative endings and outcomes for the sitcom's six lead characters.

One change we're glad never came to pass though is a version of Friends WITHOUT Jennifer Aniston.

The 46-year-old actress started playing the role of Rachel Green in her mid-twenties, and while she has gone on to do plenty of film work since, it's still her most memorable part.

But last night actress Jane Krakowski revealed that it could have been her in the beloved role if things had gone a little differently.

"I, like almost every actor in the world, auditioned for Friends," Jane told E!'s Giuliana Rancic on the Emmys red carpet.

"I wish I had gotten that one. I actually auditioned for Rachel and didn't go very far."

Friends kicked off in 1994 and ran for ten years, finally ending in May 2004. With a starting salary of €20,000 per episode that soared to €890,000 per episode for each lead cast member for the final two seasons, it was certainly a gold mine in terms of TV roles.

Luckily for Jane, her big break came along just a few years later, when she landed a part in Ally McBeal as office assistant Elaine Vassal.

She later went on to play vapid actress Jenna in Tina Fey's 30 Rock, and is currently starring in the hit Netflix series Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt alongside Ellie Kemper.

All the same, Jane admitted her manager was "very sad" that she failed to swing that Friends role. Yup, we would be too.

With temperatures soaring close to 40C in Los Angeles yesterday afternoon, stars struggled to cope on the Emmys red carpet.

Heavy make-up and floor-sweeping gowns are hardly perfect hot weather attire, and the sizzling weather meant a lot of attendees were suffering. But things got too much for one actress in particular when she came close to collapsing during an E!'s live red carpet broadcast.

Olivia Culpo was on air with hosts Giuliana Rancic, Ross Matthews and Brad Goreski when she fell to her knees behind a podium.

She could be seen with her head between her legs as the other stars rushed to help her.

In another red carpet link-up later on, Giuliana was quick to reassure viewers that the former Miss USA was doing fine. "She got a little overheated at the end there, she's okay," she explained.

Olivia also took to Twitter after her fright, posting a picture of herself in a wheelchair being pushed through the theatre's main lobby.

"OMG it is SO HOT out here. Literally just almost passed out #Emmys2015 #ERedCarpet," she wrote, adding, "@GiulianaRancic @helloross @mrbradgoreski its ok I know u would have caught me."

Though there were no other fainting incidents, other stars were certainly showing signs of overheating.

Dancing With The Stars host Mario Lopez was drenched in sweat under his suit jacket, but he didn't mind showing off.

A pregnant Cat Deeley wisely came along with a portable fan:

And Amy Schumer followed suit too, being sure to keep cool in her custom made Zac Posen gown:

You'd never have this problem at the IFTAs, that's for sure.
