Well this little cameo role was unexpected for Cara Delevingne – but then again, she does love to surprise us.

The model/actress/general badass made an appearance in the live-action trailer for the video game Call of Duty: Black Ops III. 

The game, which is loved by every man around the world (and will probably be loved even more now that Cara is in the promo), posted behind-the-scenes shots of the actress using a harness to fly through the air while filming the advertisement:

 

In the short clip, Michael B. Jordan serves as a slick narrator through the game's fighting chaos, and American NFL player Marshawn Lynch rises up to play his famous Beast Mode, all the while a regular guy, Kevin, gets to play out his action-hero fantasy (because what else happens in video games, right?). 

But then Cara shows up and totally steals the show:

Is this the relationship news that EVERYONE has been waiting for?

Justin Bieber has just revealed that he is still not over his ex-girlfriend, Selena Gomez. 

According to an interview with Access Hollywood, the 21-year-old admitted that some of the material written on his new album, Purpose, is about his past love.

When Access Hollywood's Billy Bush asked Justin just how much of the album was about her, Justin replied, "A lot of it, dude." He then went on to explain that three songs on Purpose were written specifically for her. #Swoon.

He also said that he and Selena need some time to do some individual "soul-searching" so they can figure themselves out, but the singer didn't deny that they might get back together some day, noting that they still keep in touch.

"[She] is someone I love dearly. I'm never going to stop loving her. I'm never going to stop checking in on her. 

"I don't think if you end a relationship, you should end that, unless it was super toxic and you guys were hurting each other physically or mentally," he said.

"We always respected each other and we still respect each other."

Now, we don't know about you, but if Selena got back together with the Biebs, he just might tone down his crazy antics. Only time will tell.

Twitter has just announced that it is changing its favourite button for a like button – but many Twitter users have reacted badly to it online. 

Since the social network began, it has used a favourite button, which we have all become VERY used to. 

Favouriting a tweet could mean, "I find this tweet funny" or "this is good, but not good enough to retweet." It could also mean "I acknowledge your tweet, but can't be bothered to reply" or "I want to end this conversation, but on a positive note!" Favouriting is also a great way to bookmark something you want to read later in the day.

Now, however, we won't know what to do if any of the above situation arise. #Unlike.

And since Twitter announced the change, the Internet has been going MENTAL. Here are some users that haven't taken the news very well…

Demonised for years as being high in saturated fat, there’s no doubt that butter is now very much back in vogue.

From paleo plans to your morning bulletproof coffee – at the core of a load of healthy eating habits of the moment is grass-fed butter.

In fact, far from being something to avoid, in moderation the food is something of a nutritional powerhouse: think oodles of vitamins A, D, and K-2, not to mention heart-disease preventing CLA.

So here at SHEmazing! we were pretty excited to see that the Improper Butter brand is expanding for the festive season.

Enter the wholly Christmas-appropriate trio of sage, rosemary & thyme butter; boozy brandy butter; and cinnamon & honey butter.

Yes, we’re already thinking of the yuletide delights we’ll be whipping up when the limited-edition range is finally released at the end of this month.

Because, in short, Improper makes us seem waaaay more competent in the kitchen than we actually are – so any expansion of what the brand currently has on shelves is to be warmly welcomed.

Suddenly we are Donal Skehan (albeit with less impressive hair): we bring steak alive with a dollop of garlic, snazzy up fish with sunblushed tomato & basil, and concoct a mean prawn dish from scratch with garlic, chilli & basil.

And it’s not just us either. Since the brand’s launch last year (it’s available in SuperValu stores, close-to a dozen Tesco outlets around Dublin, and in gourmet grocers nationwide) it’s proved immensely popular with fabulous foodies and creative culinary types.

Driven by talented 20-something businesswomen Elaine Lavery and Hannah O’Reilly – the duo met in UCD before they graduated in 2012 AND they’ve already been backed by the Dragons – Improper has recently launched in the UK too.

Need some inspiration to put the brand’s festive range into good use? Check out Elaine and Hannah’s top tips below:

1) Sage, rosemary & thyme butter – with fresh Christmas herbs. Butter under the skin of your turkey or bird of choice before roasting, to keep it succulent and tasty. Or why not create the perfect stuffing? Simply melt down one pack and add 300-500g of breadcrumbs. RRP €2.89 for 100g.

2) Boozy brandy butter – with brown sugar, brandy, lemon and orange zest. Not just for Christmas puddings and mince pies. Slather over scones, toasted brioche and pancakes in the run up to the big day. We’ll go back to counting calories in January. RRP €3.49 for 100g.

3) Cinnamon & honey butter – smooth honey and freshly ground cinnamon. Swirl through porridge or spread on toast, French toast, pancakes, scones and waffles. The best suggestion yet? Melt and toss over popcorn (YES!) while you gather round for your family’s favourite festive film. €1.99 for 100g.

The three new seasonal Improper festive butters will be available from November 23 for a limited five-week run in SuperValu stores nationwide as well as independent stockists, including Fallon & Byrne and Donnybrook Fair, both in Dublin. Also see improperbutter.com.

We all love the odd fast food meal from time to time. Between McDonalds, Burger King, KFC, Subway and more, there's so many to choose from.

That's probably the reason why fast food companies aim high when trying to promote their new burger, wrap or chicken box. 

With striking backgrounds, bright colours schemes and succulent meat, the images are designed to strike anybody passing by.

Now, we know the actual meal might not always look as good as it's picture, but comparisons are something else:

Just as we hear the good news that Kendall Jenner will take to the Victoria's Secret catwalk, we've some bad news to share too.

According to People, Rihanna has dropped out of the lingerie show, just a week before it is set to be recorded. 

For this years show, Rihanna was supposed to perform with The Weeknd and Selena Gomez, but has suddenly dropped out of the event because she wants to concentrate on her upcoming album.

It was reported yesterday that the singer is "worried" about her new album and fears her new tracks will disappoint fans. 

But not to worry, as another major pop star will take her place.

People reports that British singer Ellie Goulding will step in for Rihanna on the day, making Ellie a VS Fashion Show first-timer. 

And with Gigi and Kendall just announced as angels, there will be LOADS of newbies sticking together on the runway this year.

So you're officially past the honeymoon period (you've even accidentally farted in front of him). But how can you really tell if you two have staying power?

Forget proving yourself with lavish gifts and declarations of love, the real test of a couple's strength is how they cope with assembling a flatpack DIY shelving unit that's missing one screw.

If you two can manage to come out the other end of the following stressful situations unscathed, you can safely say your future together looks bright.

1. A trip to IKEA together
The site of many a break-up, we reckon. Deep breaths.

 

2. Your first joint grocery shop… when one of you is on a budget
"Are you seriously going to drink THAT much milk in one week?"

 

3. Your first drunken fight
So many feelings. So little sense.

 

4. The departures lounge of Dublin Airport with a six-hour flight delay
"I told you we should have checked online before we came, I TOLD you."

 

5. The first time you bring them along to a family gathering
And your grandma calls them by your ex's name.

 

6. Trying to decide what takeaway to get when the both of you are starving and hungover
"What'll we have?"
"I don't mind." 
"Let's get Indian so."
"No, don't want Indian."

*head explodes*

 

7. Meeting "the lads" for the first time
And smiling even when one of them makes a joke (ahem) about your other half being a total player

lovely animated GIF

 

8. A "friendly" board game
*flings board upside down, storms out of room*

 

9. Choosing what to watch when Premier League game clashes with the X Factor final
There can only be one winner.

Victoria's Secret shared a video last week of the moment Gigi Hadid was asked to walk in the lingerie fashion show, and we saw just how happy the model was with her priceless reaction.

At his lowest point he contemplated suicide, but these days Tom Fletcher says he is in a much clearer, healthier and more stable place.

The singer, who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2010, explains that his outlook on life has changed over the last two years, largely thanks to his son Buzz.

"Having a kid has really helped me in my life. It gives you a sense of needing to be stable," he told The Mirror.

"It’s not about you any more, it’s about this child that you’ve decided to bring into the world. 

"You don’t have any choice but to cope with life because you’re doing it for someone else."

Tom and his wife Giovanna welcomed Buzz in 2013, and the McBusted star says it was a huge turning point for him. So much so, in fact, that he no longer uses medication.

The 30-year-old, who is expecting his second child early next year, first opened up about his mental health issues after Robin Williams's suicide last year.

Writing in response to a radio host who branded Williams' decision to take his own life as "diabolical," Tom said depression was no black and white issue.

"Sometimes … the storms come. I'm not talking about a light shower, I mean the full works," he wrote on his website. 

"The darkest skies you have ever seen … It's so completely consuming that it is suddenly not only the only thing you know but the only thing you have ever known.

"When I'm not in a storm I can remember pretty well what it was like being in it, but when I am in the storm I can't remember what it's like ever being happy."                     

We're delighted to hear Tom is doing so well these days.

This is exciting news for Harry Potter fans! J.K. Rowling has announced that she is writing a new children's book. 

The author revealed the news during her first interview as her pseudonym Robert Galbraith on Radio 2 Book Club. 

"I have an idea for a children's book, actually I have written part of a children's book that I really love, so I'm definitely going to finish that, " she told presenter Simon Mayo. 

Ms Rowling was on the show to promote her new book, Career of Evil – a series about private investigator Cormoran Strike – which she is writing under her alter ego. She also said in the interview that writing under a pseudonym is "genuinely liberating."

"The deal was even if I am found out, Robert doesn't do publicity. I just like Robert's writing career to be less about the hype because I'd done so much of that with Potter," J.K. explained. 

"I'm the kind of writer who really does want to be alone writing in a room most of the time. With Robert, it feels like it's mostly about the writing, even though people know it's me."

She added that she will definitely continue to write books under her birth name, once she finds some time off from writing a new screenplay for her Harry Potter prequel, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

Normally, if a rather creepy clown sang to you, "after all these years, you'd like to meet," you'd more than likely run home and hide. 

Fortunately in this case, the creepy clown is Joe Jonas dressed up for Halloween and this is a beautiful cover of Adele's new song Hello. 

Even though Joe is completely unrecognisable, it's still a pretty good video:
