There’s something a bit satisfying about seeing celebrities BEFORE they became famous.

And usually that comes along with a weird hair do or less-than-fashionable clothes. But not this time.

Anne celebrated her People's Choice Awards nomination for Favourite Movie Actress by posting high school yearbook photos of fellow nominees Meryl Streep, Scarlett Johansson, Melissa McCarthy, and Sandra Bullock.

Usually, if someone posted an old photo of you, it would be a nightmare but these ladies look just as good then as they do now.

Can we just note how well Meryl Streep has aged?! You go, girl!

We all know Jennifer Lawrence isn’t the smoothest of celebs. Who can forget her epic fall at the Academy Awards in front of the most famous people on the planet?

Well, now she’s made another small blunder on the red carpet for the latest instalment of The Hunger Games.

Jennifer tried to kiss her co-star, Natalie Dormer on the cheek, but accidently hit her lips. #Awkward.

But J Law didn’t blush or run away (like most of us would) instead she did this:

We all know from Gigi’s Instagram account that she never shies away from a make-up free selfie. And surprisingly, it’s not expensive facials that have her skin looking so well.

In a recent interview with W Magazine, Gigi revealed that she has a simple beauty routine that DEFINITELY gets our lazy-girl seal of approval.

"I hate facials," she told W. "I just don't want someone touching my face — I get claustrophobic."

Her clear complexion is not down to the work of Hollywood’s best dermatologists, but rather something you would find in the chemist or supermarket.

"I put toothpaste on pimples to dry them out," she says, stressing that "it works."

Gigi admits she only gets the odd zit every now and then, but when she does, it’s toothpaste that saves the day.

Controversial. Would you try it out?

We really can’t wait for this one. Chloe Grace Moretz has been cast to play Ariel in the new live-action adaptation of The Little Mermaid.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Chloe will play the mermaid princess who falls in love with a beautiful prince and trades her tails for legs and feet in order to be with her man.

However, there's a twist. We’re not talking about the lovely Disney movie here. Nope, Universal are making the Hans Christian Anderson story come to life and it will be based on the original Danish fairytale, so it will probably be WAY darker than the Disney classic.

Still, we can’t wait to see the movie, and more exciting, we can’t wait to find out who will play her prince.

As we all know, beauty trends come and go, but it’s only the great ones that stick around. And we think this new beauty trend is particularly great.

Nail polish and nail art have seriously upgraded in the past few years, but Nail Inc. has just released a new spray-on nail polish that we think is the future of the perfect home manicure.

The new invention is designed to make polish application quicker than ever. All you have to do is apply the base coat and then spray your nails using the graffiti-style can for around 20 seconds. Then just follow that up with a top coat.

Now, the thing that everyone is worried about it getting all of the polish on your hands, but not to worry! Once the top coat has dried, the leftover polish can be removed with soapy water or even face wipes. Handy!

Nail Inc Paint Can will be available at the end of this month. All you have to choose is the colour now!

Burberry's CEO, Christopher Bailey may have worked alongside Romeo Beckham a couple of times, but now the main man teaming up with his mother, Victoria.

Yesterday, it was announced that Christopher and Victoria will become the first ever patrons of Graduate Fashion Week.

Graduate Fashion Week is the world’s leading event that celebrates the creativity of students and graduates within fashion.

It showcases the work of more than 1,000 students from colleges and universities all around the world and represents the future of creative design talent.

Christopher called his new role, “a true honour” and applauded the work at this year’s show in London.

"It is so important to support and mentor young people, and GFW provides an essential platform for them at this important time in their life," Victoria told Vogue.

"I'm delighted to be joining Christopher Bailey, working together on such a worthwhile project."

And although Mr Bailey was impressed by this year’s talent, he kept tight-lipped about hiring one of the students.

“What we look for more than anything is raw talent and an ability to challenge convention – we try to take those qualities and set them in a world in which they can be fully explored."

The latest (and last) premiere of The Hunger Games was described as bitter sweet by many of The Hunger Games cast. But that didn’t stop them from having some fun on the red carpet.

People reports that last Thursday night, Jennifer Lawrence and her fellow castmates from The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 walked the red carpet in London for the premiere of the final instalment in the film series. Sob!

It was more than likely their last time walking the carpet together, and Sam Claflin snapped an epic group selfie to remember the experience.

The photo was taken at Leicester Square's Odeon cinema is an excellent tribute to Ellen DeGeneres's Oscar selfie (which Jennifer was also a part of).

 

This isn't goodbye, it's a see you soon. #friendsforlife #mockingjaypart2 #londonpremiere

The snap included Sam, Jennifer, Elizabeth, Julianne Moore, Gwendoline Christie, Liam Hemsworth, Donald Sutherland, Natalie Dormer, Woody Harrelson, and Stanley Tucci, just to name a few. 

But the best part of the photo? The caption. “This isn't goodbye, it's a see you soon," Sam wrote on Instagram.

It has only been a couple of days since Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton announced they are dating, BUT that’s not the only thing that these two love birds are up to.

It has been revealed that Gwen and Blake are making music together.

It's described as "a mid-tempo ballad" and the lyrics discuss "telling a lover to leave the relationship if that is what they truly want." Which we think is a bit awkward for a new couple to sing.

Neither Gwen or Blake have commented on the new song (which isn’t even finished yet) but People reports that it already sounds REALLY good.

Meanwhile, E! News reports that Blake’s ex-wife, Miranda Lambert, says she “doesn’t care” about her ex’s new relationship.

"Miranda is at a point in her life where she is really focusing on herself and her music," E!'s source added.

P.S. Here’s a totally cue picture of Gwen and Blake holding hands.

For anyone who grew up reading and watching Winnie the Pooh, it turns out we were lied to the WHOLE time.

Yep, Winnie the Pooh is actually a female bear. Who knew, right?! And to really confuse things, she is from Canada, not England.

In a new picture book called Finding Winnie: The True Story of the World's Most Famous Bear, we find out that Winnie is actually named after a Canadian black bear from London Zoo called Winnie (real name Winnipeg).

The new book was written by ​​Lindsay Mattick​, who is the granddaughter of the soldier who brought Winnie to England.

Lieutenant Harry Colebourn​ bought the bear for just $20 during the First World War.

The soldier and his bear became inseparable, until he was called away to France for army duties and had to leave Winnie at London Zoo.

There's a happy ending though because Winnie made a new friend very quickly; a boy who always visited her at the zoo, Christopher Robin.

It's starting to make sense now, right? Because Christopher was so fond of the bear, he named his own toy bear after Winnie. And who was Christopher's dad? Author ​AA Milne​, who went on to write the classic Winnie books.

Mystery solved, folks!

If you're a Coldplay fan, then you're probably already excited about their upcoming studio album, BUT we have even bigger news.

As former Hollyoaks actress Stephanie Davis is forced to quit the jungle – over a potentially fatal nut allergy – I'm A Celebrity bosses are desperately scrambling to secure some alternative big names for the reality TV show.

And it seems they've succeeded: signing a cheque for a cool €280,000 they've managed to rope in none other than former professional boxer Chris Eubank. 

“We have been struggling to attract big names in the older celebrity world, so we are delighted to have secured Chris.

“Chris is not a man known to mince his words, and he often comes out with bizarre rants, making him an ideal candidate for I’m A Celebrity," a source told The Sun.

They added: “His eccentricity will be something to behold – especially when he is hungry and deprived of sleep as campmates always are in the jungle."

Other names thought to be lined up for the reality show include Dragon’s Den investor Duncan Bannatyne, TOWIE star Ferne McCann, Made In Chelsea’s Spencer Matthews and X Factor choreographer Brian Friedmann.

Earlier this week, soap star Stephanie Davis, 22, confirmed on Twitter that although she had secured a place on the show, it was subsequently revealed that a nut allergy that could prove fatal.

Understandably, Stephanie has been left gutted that she can no longer take part.

Ever woken up with a hangover, checked your Twitter timeline and cringed?

Drunk tweeting is never a good idea, but if you just so happen to have 23.8million followers hanging on your every word, then it's most definitely a bad decision.

Adele admits she learnt that the hard way a few years back, when she had her Twitter privileges removed after sending a few too many ill-advised tweets.

"When Twitter first came out I was, like, drunk tweeting, and nearly put my foot in it quite a few times," she revealed during a BBC Special last night.

Even though she doesn't drink these days, the Hello singer says she still prefers to let someone else manage her social media.

Nowadays each tweet Adele writes has to go through not one but two different members of her team before going live.

"My management decided that you have to go through two people and then it has to be signed off by someone, but they're all my tweets," she explained, after being asked about the rumour that she had no access to her own Twitter account.

"No one writes my tweets. They just post them for me. So, yeah, that's very, very true."

Adele's not the only celebrity to have employed a social media manager in recent years – it's quite common among Hollywood's elite, in fact.

Lena Dunham recently revealed that she had sworn off checking her own Twitter notifications or posting her own tweets, after repeated incidents of online bullying.

"It really, truly wasn't a safe space for me," she said. 

"'Even if you think, like, 'Oh I can read, like, ten mentions that say I should be stoned to death' and kind of, like, laugh and move on.

"That's verbal abuse. Those aren't words that should be directed at you ever."
