When it comes to global fandom, Directioners and Beliebers are generally considered the most die-hard and devoted in the world, but it looks like they've some competition on their hands.

According to new research, British fans of Teenage Dream singer, Katy Perry, actually shell over the most dough when it comes to showing their devotion for the star.

Conducted by Barclaycard, The Battle of the Fan research established that KatyCats are the most flush with their money and are more than happy to majorly splash out on Katy merchandise and concert tickets.

Flashing the cash big-style, KatyCats spend, on average, £1,627 or €1,860 to get their fix of Ms. Perry and her on-stage extravaganzas.

"We compared fans of some of the world's biggest bands and artists – those that started when we did in the 60s and those who have more recently risen to fame," explained Katherine Whitton from Barclaycard.

"What the findings have shown above all else is that the nation's love affair with music, and especially live music, is very much alive and well … whether you're a KatyCat, Directioner, Swifty or Little Monster," she added.

And while that's all well and good, the research concluded that KatyCats – We've tried hating that term BTW, but secretly we totally love it – have beaten Yeezy fans, Queen Bey's subjects and Ri-Ri's army of followers to the top of the poll.

During a Black Lives Matter protest in Texas yesterday, snipers shot and killed five police officers.

Another six were injured – some critically – in the incident which played out in reaction to the highly publicised police brutality against members of the black community in the United States.

"An intensive search for suspects is currently underway," explained Chief Brown of the Dallas Police Department. "No suspects are in custody at this time."

Taking to Twitter in the hours that followed the shocking turn of events in Dallas, many high-profile individuals shared their thoughts on the unexpected display of violence.

"These Dallas shootings are horrific," tweeted John Legend earlier this morning. "Killing these officers is morally reprehensible and completely counterproductive to keeping us safe."

Insistent that the situation between police and the black community requires a peaceful approach, he added: "Being against cops killing is not equal to being for killing cops. We need peace in our streets."

Equally stunned by the violence which erupted in Dallas yesterday, actress, Olivia Wilde, told Twitter followers: "It is truly tragic when a vicious few turn a peaceful protest into a bloodbath. Horrific and sad."

Sharing an image of a placard which read 'If you are not angry, you are not paying attention," former OC actress, Mischa Barton, wrote on Instgram: "All Lives Matter.

Sharing her thoughts on the matter with 37 million followers earlier today, Demi Lovato tweeted: "My heart hurts. God help us" while Mandy Moore wrote: "The unending heartbreak on the news is just beyond devastating & infuriating. I'm at a total loss."

Meanwhile, Jar of Hearts singer, Christina Perri, offered her support to the families of those killed during yesterday's violence, writing: "Praying for the families of the officers killed tonight in dallas. praying we stop trying to end hate with hate."

"Only love can do that," she added in the post which has been liked thousands of times.

The Dallas protest was organised following Wednesday's fatal shooting of Philando Castile, who was shot by officers after being pulled over while travelling in a car with his partner, Diamond Reynolds, and her young daughter.

Just weeks after Kanye West released his highly controversial video for his new song, Famous, people are already starting to mock him.

Who are these jokers you ask? None other than Justin Bieber and Cheryl Cole, teamed with a line up of other famous faces. 

BBC Radio 1 uploaded a parody video of the rapper's music video this week, and it is bloody HILARIOUS. 

Along with the Biebs and Cheryl, the station recruited Ant&Dec, Nick Jonas, Carley Rae Jepsen, Meghan Trainor, the Five Seconds of Summer boys and Craig David, for this hilarious take on the music video. 

Check out the video here…and we DARE you not to laugh! 

The radio station filmed the celebrities separately, over a period of time, using a number of stand-ins. As a result of some smart editing, it appears as though the stars were in bed with one another. 

Kanye's video was released earlier this month, and displayed naked wax figures of some of the world's most famous people. 

Taylor Swift, Donald Trump and Chris Brown were among those featured in the Famous video, causing quite the stir on social media. 

Despite the NSFW element of Yeezy's video, it has now racked up almost 6 million views… which is pretty impressive.

Remember that time you did a day's work and managed to insult an entire nation in the process? Yeah, us neither, but that's because we're not Rich Cohen of Vanity Fair fame.

The writer, who recently penned a piece on Aussie actress Margot Robbie, has managed in just few words to insult the Australian public, and also give a frankly bizarre assessment of both Margot's appearance and prowess on screen.

And, unsurprisingly, people are absolutely fuming.

Responding to Rich's description of Australia where he writes Australia is 'America 50 years ago, sunny and slow, a throwback, which is why you go there for throwback people', social media users have taken to Twitter in their droves to pour scorn on Rich's assessment of the land Down Under.

"Clearly written by a man who knows NOTHING about Australia," wrote one. "It's full of things about the country that simply aren't true."
 

And it wasn't only Rich's description of Margot's native country that riled people, but his sexist assessment of the Wolf of Wall Street actress, writing: "She is 26 and beautiful, not in that otherworldly, catwalk way but in a minor knock-around key, a blue mood, a slow dance."

Fearful the wider public might have been fooled by Margot's hair dye and high heels, Rich hastily added: "She is blonde but dark at the roots. She is tall but only with the help of certain shoes." Thanks for that, Rich.

Drawing attention to the approach Rich took with the piece, another Twitter user wrote: "The quietly awful thing the Vanity Fair piece did is steer the conversation away from Margot Robbie's talent, which is what matters."

Twitter users have slammed the American publication for allowing the piece to go to print, but thus far neither Rich nor the magazine have responded to the controversy.

Celebrating 20 years since the release of their debut single, the Spice Girls have confirmed a reunion, but not in the way we expected. 

Wannabe was released on July 8 1996, and changed the meaning of the word 'Girlband' forever. 

We have been hearing whispers of a Spice Girls reunion for a long time, but it would seem that the dream is about to become a reality. 

Emma, Geri and Mel B, also known as Baby, Ginger and Sporty, took to YouTube yesterday to announce some pretty MAJOR news.

The trio stated that they will be staging a reunion to commemorate the anniversary of Wannabe, in the form of a "party."

Despite our excitement, two familiar faces were missing from this 40 second video.

Victoria Beckham is currently running her very successful fashion company, while also raising four children, which might explain why she is unavailable to party down with the Spice Girls. 

Mel Chisholm is also a busy woman, currently working on her seventh studio album, and judging the Asia's Got Talent show. 

The three remaining popstars have renamed themselves GEM, and are gearing up to make all of our spice-dreams come true. 

There is no news yet on the real details of the reunion, all we know is that GEM will be taking to the stage in the near future. 

"You've stood by us for 20 years, and we wanna say a big thank you,'" Geri says in the video. 

Well ladies, YOU ARE WELCOME!

While Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is currently thrilling audiences in London, it looks like it was the cast of the play that got the biggest thrill of the run so far when Emma Watson decided to rock up at the Palace Theatre in the English capital last night.

While die-hard fans had previously questioned the fact Noma Dumezweni – a black actress – would be playing the adult Hermione on stage, Emma Watson happily gave the award-winning actress her seal of approval, and yes in spite of this, they had yet to meet face to face.

Surprising the cast last night, 26-year-old Emma arrived backstage and posed for photos with fellow actors before meeting Noma in one very moving moment,

Emma took to social media to share that moment with fans and followers, writing: "It was SO lovely to meet you" alongside a photo of the pair gazing at each other.

Noma did the same and it sounds like the actress was bowled over by their touching meeting, writing: "Now I feel I can share the maHUSSIVE joy I felt, alongside the company when a beautiful, humble and very kind young lady." (sic)

"It really was quite emotional to be in your company. And Thank you 4 your lovely self," she continued. "We spoke of you with MAJOR respect."

Fans of all things Potter-related fell all over themselves as the posts were uploaded, with one writing: "It's so beautiful to see you together. Thanks for sharing this photo with us. All Potterheads are dying."

The posts have been liked almost 50,000 times since last night.

Rita Ora and Lewis Hamilton have been buddies for years, but in recent snaps taken of the pair, it looks like they have stepped their relationship up a notch.

The pair were away in Montenegro this week, and in a video captured by The Sun, Rita is seen frolicking around in a bikini as Lewis throws his arms over her.

In the clip, Rita and Lewis are cuddled up on the deck of a private villa, and then things take a flirty turn when the sportman sprays Rita with a hosepipe.

Lewis is seen drenching her with water, before walking over to the end of a dock and throwing her in.

An onlooker told The Sun: "They looked very cosy and flirty. It was clear Rita had had a couple of drinks and Lewis was loving every second of it."

Oooh, could they be our next Hollywood couple?!

They've been married for four years, but it doesn't look like the romance between Una Healy and Ben Foden is going to fizzle out anytime soon.

The couple are over in Sardinia at the moment to celebrate their wedding anniversary, and they looked SO loved up.

They each shared pictures of their other half on social media, and it's legit making us cry because they both just look so god damn GOOD.

Taking to Instagram, Ben shared a photo of his wife sitting on some rocks and compared her to a Bond girl – and we have to agree with him, Una looks amazing in the glistening sun.

He captioned the pic: "Think I've just spotted the next Bond girl, saw her lying on a couple of rocks in Sardinia? #00heaven."

Una also took to the social media site to show off her hubby (and his six pack):

 

True blue baby I love you

Lads, if we're this much in love when we're married, it will be *bliss*.

Those cute little bars of Kinder chocolate are the healthier option, right?

They're so small they must be better than a Moro, or a Snickers, or even just a small bar of Dairy Milk?

Well, turns out they're way worse.

A German food watchdog has called for the bars to be recalled since after testing, it found that the chocolate has dangerous levels described as "likely carcinogens."

The watchdog said that mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons – which comes from oil when it's refined – have been found in the product.

Kinder made a statement to the Mail Online, saying that this isn't actually anything new and "traces of mineral oil exist nearly everywhere and they can be transferred to food in many different ways."

It continued: "Main migration sources are, for example, mineral oil components from printing inks and recycled fibre."

It added that they are trying their best to make sure all mineral oils will not be transferred to its products again.
