Mobile phones are tricky business (especially for clumsy people). My phone currently has a smashed screen, dints on the side and a temperamental camera – the result of many drops and falls.

It happens to the best of us, but when your phone is brand spankin' new, it feels like a little bit of your heart drops as you see the screen smash on the ground.

However, we may not have to ever have that sinking feeling again as MegaTinyCorp has just created 'The Anti-Gravity Case'.

The nano-suction technology (imagine millions of tiny suction cups) on the case means it can stick to mirrors, glass, metal, kitchen presses, tiles, car dashboards and more.

Not only will this case save you from scratches and dreaded falls, it's also great for taking selfies, streaming videos, Skyping and recording video blogs.

Can it get any better?!… Well actually, yes it can.

It's also one tough cookie. The edges of the case are raised so it will protect your phone if it does happen to fall, and the nano-suction material also absorbs shock, so there won't be any screen cracking either.

We just think we've found our new best friend.

So many celebrities deny going on crash diets, having a little botox, or even admitting to hair extensions.

We get it. They're in the public eye and want to present their best possible selves; but we don't understand why they try so hard to hide the little bit of help they've received (especially when it's super obvious).

However, one gal that isn't afraid to hide her help is Rita Ora, and she even thinks it's "weird" that some people find it so hard to talk about.

“Some people feel really weird talking about hair extensions, but the reality is your hair can’t grow overnight, so why not get creative,” she told InStyle.

The 26-year-old is happy to admit that after years of damaging her locks with bleach and bad dye-jobs, she needs a little bit of a lift with her tresses now.

“The trick is, you have to completely own it, and that’s a confidence thing.

“I was only 14 (when I started dyeing my hair), which is why my hair is so short and damaged now," she added.

Being a natural brunette, Rita constantly has to dye her roots, but even with all the up-keep, the Hot Right Now singer says that blonde has "always been my thing," and she's not going to change anytime soon.

She's known for her sassy presence on social media and she certainly didn't shy away from showing off at her 4th of July celebrations today.

Ariel Winters took to Instagram this morning to show off her gorgeous bikini body, and her beach-ready look is absolute summer life goals.

The 18-year-old took to the social media site in a white bikini and captioned the snap: "Will always look back at this."

We've seen a lot of incredible make-up transformations lately, but few are quite as mesmerising (or disturbing) as watching a five-year-old boy turn into Drake.

French-born make-up artist Magali Beauvue has been receiving a lot of attention this week after she successfully managed to transform one of her client's sons into the bearded R&B star using a powerful combination of extreme contouring and, well, beard painting.

Last weekend, Magali – who has been based in the Caribbean for the last eight years – posted a video to her Instagram account in which she shows her followers how she made bare-faced schoolboy Dylane look like the star.

Naturally enough the video has gone mega-viral with Dylane even being dubbed 'Lil' Drake'.

Speaking of the clip, Magali told Complex: "Dylane had so much fun doing it… he was looking at himself in the mirror and was saying 'Oh I really look like Drake now'."

"Something about [Drake] makes him seem so friendly despite his notoriety."

"People love him… that's why 'Little Drake' gets so much love."

Who else is guilty of wondering how many days you can get away without washing your hair?

That is what they invented dry shampoo for right? To allow us all an extra 20 minutes in bed in the morning. 

Most of us are decent human beings who enjoy being fresh and clean, but you'd be lying if you said you've never skipped a shower, out of pure laziness.

Well, we are here to tell you just how often you can skip your morning shower…thank you science for your wisdom. 

According to Professor Stephen Shumack, President of the Australasia College of Dermatologists, a person should only shower when they need to (i.e when you start stinking up the room). 

Professor Shumack told the Sunday Morning Herald that showering is a "social pressure rather than actual need."

"It's become popular because of the social need to smell good. But it's only the glands in your armpit and groin that produce body odour. They're not all over the body" the doctor went on to say.

The doctor did claim that showering too often can be bad for you and "can cause actual damage making people more permeable to bacteria or viruses, itchy skin, dryness, flakiness and worsening conditions like eczema."

So the moral of the story is, daily washing is totally unnecessary but if you're feeling smelly, have a shower.

Just as Chris Evans steps down from hosting Top Gear, it seems that another celeb is very keen to take on the job.

Brian McFadden wrote to the BBC on Twitter yesterday, and in a series of messages, begged the bosses to consider him for the job.

The former Westlife singer said that he would "happily drive the best cars in the world and get paid for it."

He also referred to Jeremy Clarkson's ill-fate by promising "not to punch any producers," which eventually led to the host departing from the show.

Finally, Brian offered himself as a "female anchor," and shared a picture of himself wearing a wig and bright red lipstick.

Top Gear bosses have yet to announce who will take over Chris Evans' role, but it's expected that Friends star Matt Le Blanc will return for a second season.

Stories featured in Humans of Dublin have hit the headlines on numerous occasions for their ability to bring the internet to tears, and this latest one is no different.

Shared on the Humans of Dublin Facebook page last night, internet users were given an insight into the love story that unfolded between a dancer and her late husband over the course of 57 years.

"I started dancing when I was about 10-years-old. I met beautiful people throughout my whole life because of it. I did Irish dancing and afterwards moved up to the ballroom, we did all sorts of dance," Clare told photographer Peter Varga.

"This is how I met this lovely man too," she continued. "He was so handsome, you know? I was walking in Herbert Park with two girls when I saw him again, he was with his two friends."

"They said they were going to the Ritz that night and asked if we wanted to join them," she recalled. "I will always remember that film, The Desperados. We nearly weren't let in because we were so young. We all had to stand up, as if in high heels, just to get in."

Just 16 when she met him, she revealed: "I never had anyone else, before him or after. That is how we spent 57 years dancing together. He was a lovely and handsome man, you know?"

Peter then captured the moment his subject proudly clutched a photo of herself and her husband, and the internet is in bits this morning after it.


Commenting on the latest post, one Facebook user wrote: "Thank you for sharing your story. I love the photo of the two of you and I'm so glad your "night at the Ritz" lasted for 57 years."

"My parents met on a blind date to go to a dance on Halloween in 1957," wrote another follower of the page. "They got engaged that Christmas and were married the day after Valentine's Day in 1958"

"They were together a week shy of 50 years when my dad passed away. Sometimes those random chance encounters lead people to the person they're supposed to be with. Here's to a lifetime full of love!"

Aw ladies, it's too early for this!

The Humans of Dublin #TakeACloserLook collection is in connection with Vodafone, and snaps of Clare were captured on the Vodafone Smart Platinum 7.

As anyone who’s done the necessary acrobatics knows, getting the perfect angle for a great selfie can be a real pain… in the elbow.

Indeed, the social media-driven activity has now officially resulted in selfie elbow, a medical condition related to the better-known tennis or golf elbow.

One leading medical expert is now advising that people warm up and stretch before taking pictures of themselves.

Recently, the host of NBC's Today Show, Hoda Kotb, went to a doctor due to a chronic pain in her elbow, and was diagnosed with the painful condition.

 

Good morning!!!! #lukebryantoday @todayshow

Dr.Jordan Metzl, a sports physician in New York gave elle.com a few tips on how to evade this achy elbow.

"Maybe people should alternate their arms — start spreading the load. Alternatively maybe people should start stretching before they take selfies, so they can warm up their muscles" he said.

The queen of selfies, Kim Kardashian, who in 2014 admitted to having taken more than 1200 pictures of herself, should really consider getting her elbow examined.

We would hate to see a day where Kim could no longer snap a pic, due to an untreated case of selfie elbow. 

Kim, be safe, be healthy and get checked!

Can you imagine having to call in sick to work, because of SELFIE ELBOW? 

Amazing.

For most people their first car is something that will get them from A to B, hopefully without too much chugging on the way.

But Brooklyn Beckham is not most people.

According to the Mail Online, the teen model has been spotted driving around London on his own in a brand new Mercedes C-class having just passed his driving test.

The sleek grey car is worth around €44,000 and can go from 0-100km/h in less than 7 seconds – which seems like a lot of power for someone who only began driving in March but, according the Mail, 17-year-old Brooklyn was well able to handle his new ride.

Brooklyn wasn’t long back from LA when he took the car for a spin, having recently flown across the pond to visit his girlfriend Chloe Moretz.

 

When you're missing bae 🙁

The  young power couple have become increasingly public with their relationship lately, giving everyone the impression that they’re in it for the long haul.

And we doubt Chloe will be too upset to see that car picking her up from the airport.

A new petition has been launched calling for Jesse Williams to be fired from Grey’s Anatomy after he spoke out against racism at last month’s BET Awards.

While making his acceptance speech after receiving an award for his humanitarian efforts, Jesse – who plays Dr Jackson Avery in the hit medical drama – explained how prevalent racism still is in the States today by highlighting cases of police brutality and the lack of equal opportunities available for people of colour.

He said: “I don’t want to hear any more about how far we’ve come when paid public servants can pull a drive-by on a 12-year-old playing alone in a park in broad daylight, killing him on television then going home to make a sandwich.” 

“We’re done watching and waiting while this invention called whiteness uses and abuses us, burying black people out of sight and out of mind, while extracting our culture, our dollars, our entertainment like oil.”

 “The thing is, just because we’re magic, doesn’t mean we’re not real.”

Jesse – who played Holden in The Cabin in the Woods – received a standing ovation before he had even finished the speech, with many audience members being reduced to tears by his impassioned words.

But not everyone was so impressed by the actor’s speech as the Independent has reported that a new Change.org petition has been launched which is calling for Jesse to be removed from his position on Grey’s on the grounds that his speech was racist.

The petition – which has so far received over 2,300 supporters – states: “Jesse Williams spewed a racist, hate speech against law enforcement and white people at the BET awards.”

“If this was a white person making the same speech about an African American, they would have been fired and globally chastised, as they should be, but there has been no consequences to Williams' actions.”

“There's been no companies making a stand against his racist remarks and no swift action condemning his negative attitude.”

So far there has been no reaction to the petition from the ABC network.

If Rihanna and Beyoncé know anything, it's how to work (work, work, work, work) a packed stadium, but unfortunately they just weren't given the opportunity to do so during their respective UK tours in recent weeks.

Despite the fact their concerts were touted as 'sold-out' just about everywhere, both Ri-Ri and Queen Bey ended up playing to a half-empty Wembley stadium during the UK leg of their tours.

And while some feared that the poor turn-out was due to a waning interest in the female stars, it turns out the rows upon rows of empty seats in the world-famous venue had more to do with ticket touts and less to do with the ladies' popularity.

According to a report in the Daily Mirror, ticket touts did what they do best and bought in bulk when the gigs were announced – we just LOVE when they do that, don't you?

And then due to their overly-inflated prices and the fact that most people can't justify shelling over hundreds even if it to see their idol, they simply weren't able to shift them in time for each gig.

So, there's that, and then there's the fact some fans actually FORGET to turn up…
