With news emerging that police in Sweden are currently investigating five rapes and more than 10 sexual assaults at the Bravalla Festival in Stockholm, Mumford and Sons have vowed to boycott the event until there is a substantial improvement in security.

The band, who headlined the festival which took place between June 29th and July 2nd, took to their official Facebook page yesterday to condemn the action of some festival-goer's

"We're appalled to hear what happened at the Bravalla Festival last weekend," they began in the post which has been liked more than 25,000 times in 24 hours.

"Festivals are a celebration of music and people, a place to let go and feel safe doing so," they continued. "We're gutted by these hideous reports."

Making their feelings clear, they finished the post by confirming they would not be playing at Bravalla again until something is done to prevent such crimes.

"We won't play at this festival again until we've had assurances from the police and organisers that they're doing something to combat what appears to be a disgustingly high rate of reported sexual violence."

The post has been shared more than 1,000 times since its upload, and has opened a debate among the band's followers on how to approach the issue.

"Unfortunately the effect of any actions taken by the police and/or organisers will be limited because the root of this problem is on a much deeper societal level, where boys are raised in to thinking that this kind of behaviour is okay," began one Facebook user.

"We must teach our sons that it is never okay to rape, and teach our daughters that they should never accept to have their bodies and integrety violated in any way, shape or form in their lives," she added. (sic)

Another suggested the band need to play a more active role in combating the issue, writing: "OR you play at festivals but before each gig you actually tell the audience to look around and be more aware of the problem. Be part of the solution to reach out."

According to The Telegraph, Swedish Prime Minister, Stefan Lofven, has vowed to tighten laws relating to sexual assault.

Ever wake up from the night before with a bit of a sore head and think never again?  Yeah, us too.

But thankfully hangovers could soon be a thing of the past due to a brand new gadget which tells you when to stop drinking before you reach a hangover-earning state.

The new Bactrack Skyn wristband measures the amount of ethanol coming from your skin using an electrochemical sensor in a non-invasive way and sends an alert to your smartphone when that level has reached a certain point.

The world's first wearable alcohol monitor not only collects data about the levels of alcohol in the blood but also stores and interprets that information before sending it to a smartphone which will alert the wearer of the band’s findings.

The owner’s phone can be set to buzz when their blood alcohol content is approaching a figure like 0.04% to warn them to slow down.

According to Bactrack Skyn's website, the device could also be used by the family members of alcoholics as a warning that sobriety has been broken.

Because the wristband measures blood alcohol levels continuously in real time, it can tell you when you’ve had enough to drink before you even realise you have.

Bactrack Skyn was recently awarded $200,000 from the National Institute of Health in the US and will be available for purchase later this year.

Ever since Mila and Ashton got together we've had a feeling in our bones that this was one Hollywood couple set to last.

Maybe it's because they met as up-and-coming stars, went their separate ways and eventually found their way back to each as A-listers, but we definitely think there's something extra-special about this one.

So, when 32-year-old Mila recently revealed that she and her husband of one year were literally incapable of lying to each other, we knew we were on the money with those two.

During a recent interview with Glamour magazine, the Black Swan star explained: "We can't bulls**t each other. I literally can't lie to him."

Mila, who is said to be expecting twins, admits there's no way either of them can play it fast and loose with the truth, continuing: "He can call me out on everything, and I can do the same, because there's nothing about the other person's face that we don't know."

Explaining that their profession plays a role in their ability to recognise a porky at 100 feet, Mila said: "We know when they're acting, thus we know when they're lying."

"There's nothing we don't know about each other because we've known each other for so long: the ugly, the bad, the good," she added.

"It truly is being married to your best friend. That’s a cliché; it's cheesy. But it's true."

God, if we didn't love them, we'd kinda hate them…

Hozier came back with a bang this month after he released a track for the upcoming film, The Legend of Tarzan.

Entitled, Better Love, everyone (including his fans) thought that this was his comeback song – the track that would welcome him back into the music industry after taking some time off.

But as it turns out, the singer is flying right back under the radar.

"I'm going to take some time off so this is the last thing I'm going to be putting my name to for a little while," he told RTÉ TEN.

"I'm going to disappear for a while and work on the next album.

"In a similar way how I worked the first time round, go to a very quiet space and just see how the demos take shape," he added.

Even though we'll miss him in the charts, we're looking forward to a brand new music from the Irishman.

James Norton is now the most hotly tipped actor to replace Daniel Craig as the legendary secret agent James Bond.

According to the Metro, the Happy Valley star is now at 1/3 odds to play 007 in the Paddy Power betting stakes.

This puts him ahead of former favourites Tom Hiddleston (now 9/2) and Irish actor Aiden Turner (7/4) whose position in the Bond running has dropped after the BBC announced another series of Poldark in which he stars.

Norton has shot to the top of the potential Bond list – which also includes Idris Elba, Tom Hardy and Michael Fassbender – after being 33/1 just six weeks ago.

The 30-year-old British actor has previously appeared in Dr Who, War & Peace and the movie An Education.

A Paddy Power spokesperson told the Metro: “We’ve barely had any bets on Norton to be the next Bond…We thought the first this morning was like a hopeful roulette spin in Casino Royale.”

“However, after a sudden sequence of follow-up punts, we’re starting to suspect that we’re dealing with a Dr In The Know – so the odds have Skyfall-en.”

So many Bond puns, so little time.

We live in the age of the Internet and our phones are almost a part of our bodies by now. We get it, we're busy people and like to be kept updated – but do we really need to be kept updated while doing the no pants dance with our partners?!

As it turns out, our phones are seriously getting in the way of our love lives. Big time.

Durex just conducted a survey of Ireland's 'sexpectations' and the results are totally mind-boggling.

Try wrap you head around this: 67 percent of people touch their phones more than they touch their partner. Crazy, right?

It gets worse. Twenty percent of people rather spend two days without their partner than two days without their phone or Internet, and 15 percent only touch their partner every couple of days compared to 31 percent who touch their phones five times every hour.

66 percent admit to not being fussed about having sex if there's something juicy on social media and wouldn't even be inclined to initiate it if their other half was on their phone too.

But for the 34 percent who say nothing can get in their way of doing the deed, it turns out 22 percent of those surveyed are back on their phone within ten minutes. TEN minutes?!

Who knew digital distractions would play such a major part in our sex lives, huh?!

So put down your phone, light a few candles, get in the mood and hop on it, ladies.

Kylie Jenner seemed to be on cloud nine this week, having done her biggest restock of her famous Kylie Lip Kit to date. 

The make-up magnate also sent her Snapchat followers into a frenzy, when she announced she had trademarked the word 'Kylighter', leading everyone to believe a new line of high lighters are on the horizon.  

 

The collection. Still lots available at KylieCosmetics.com

Despite all the excitement, The Better Business Bureau, a non-profit organisation in the US that deals with business ethics and practises, gave Kylie Cosmetics an 'F' rating in a recent evaluation – their lowest score possible. 

Fear not, our favourite reality star is already bouncing back from bad reviews.

The write up on the BBB website states that there have been 134 official complaints about the company in the last 12 months, which caused the poor grading.  

Kylie cosmetics had been getting a number of complaints because a number of products were being stolen in transit, as a result of easily recognisable packaging. 

King Kylie's company is still in the early stages of development, having only officially launched in August 2015, which may explain the issues being faced. 

However, proving the power of the Jenner name, quickly after the news of the "F" hit the press, Kylie Cosmetics' grade was adjusted to a "C."

The CEO of the Better Business Bureau, Rick Copeland,claimed that his organisation was not aware of the sheer volume of the company and the amount of complaints was smaller in proportion to actual sales.

Next time do your homework guys!

According to emerging reports, Lionel Messi has been sentenced to 21 months in prison after being accused of tax evasion.

The 29-year-old international footballer was accused of creating a number of fake companies in Uruquay and Belize in order to avoid taxation on image rights between 2007 and 2009.

While the footballer will not actually spend time behind bars as the Spanish system states that prison terms under two years can be served on probation, he was fined €1.9 million by a court in Barcelona and will face imprisonment if he reoffends.

It has been established that Messi, who earns more than a quarter of a million euro a week and won Fifa World Player of the Year five times, attempted to evade €4.1 million in tax over the course of two years, but insists he was unaware of these financial oversights

Messi's father, Jorge, who – according to his son – dealt with the footballer's financial affairs, received the same sentence as his son.

Disney star Debby Ryan was arrested for drunk driving in April, and she finally received her sentence today.

According to E!, the actress was driving around LA when she crashed into another car. LAPD confirmed that the 23-year-old was then arrested on a felony DUI, however her offence was reduced to two misdemeanour counts of driving under the influence and driving with a blood alcohol level above .08.

Later that week, Debby took to Twitter to apologise to her fans.

"Over the last few days I have had the chance to think about my actions, and I wish I had used better judgement.

"I recognise that I am a role model and have always worked hard to set a good example for my millions of fans. I am so sorry to disappoint everyone."

Today, Debby pleaded no contest to driving under the influence and she was sentenced to three years probation. She will also need to complete three months in a DUI program and community service.

No matter how much we tell ourselves it's going to be different this time, an evening at a gig ALWAYS turns into one very long and messy night.

And our remedy for alcohol over-indulgence and serious lack of sleep the night before is pretty much always a giant vat of coffee – with extra coffee – the following morning.

But it seems we may be setting ourselves up for a world of health issues if the findings of a recent study conducted at the McGill University Auditory Sciences Laboratory are anything to go by.

The research, which was published by JAMA Otolaryngol Head Neck Surgery, explored the theory that caffeine can have a negative effect on a person's hearing after they've been exposed to considerable sound levels.

According to NME, the Consequence of Sound study exposed three groups of female albino guinea pigs to either caffeine, 110 decibel "pure tone sound" or both.

 And researchers concluded that the groups who were exposed to both recovered their hearing a lot slower than the sound-only group.

The 15-day study pitched their noise levels between 100 and 120 decibels – the typical level heard at most concerts.

Ladies, it sounds like everyone's gonna have to speak up.

Beth Louise Carr has such a love for Disney, that she has spent her entire student loan, somewhere to the tune of €26,000, on Disney memorabilia and trips to Disney theme parks. 

Beth admits to falling in love with Disney after watching Beauty And The Beast as a child.

The art student has since collected thousands of toys, and has visited Disney resorts nine times all over the world.

Beth, who from her instagram account appears to have a promising career as an artist, has turned an entire room in her house into a fairytale dream land. 

The young woman from Sunderland has admitted to having "thousands of Disney toys all over the house."

"I own five Disney outfits, with a wardrobe filled with Disney inspired T-shirts and accessories" she went on to tell the Mail Online. 

Boyfriend of the mega-fan, Lee Creighton, believes that Beth has spiralled out of control, and has had to ban her from all Disney stores in the UK. 

Despite the ban, Lee has gone to Disneyland in Paris a number of times with his girlfriend, and supports her love of all things Disney. 

Beth started her Disney clad instagram three years ago, and it has now gained 2,100 followers, most of whom appear to be fellow Disney fans. 

Beth also told the Mail Online about her reasons for loving Disney, citing a hard childhood where "Disney always managed to put a smile on my face."

Beth and Lee are set to jet off to Disney World in Orlando this September.

Hakuna Matata guys!
