The Internet is filled with celeb focused “Where Are They Now” type posts, but few searches produce as glorious results as those for former Buffy star Tom Lenk.

Despite having appeared in How I Met Your Mother, Samantha Who? and The Cabin in the Woods, for many Tom is still best remembered as Andrew Wells from the famed supernatural drama.

Today Tom can be found on Instagram operating an account which is nothing short of wonderful under the name @tommylenk.

To the delight of his 113,000 followers, the 40-year-old actor regularly recreates the outfit choices of some of Hollywood’s best known stars.

Check out some of our favourite looks below:

Honestly, any sort of booze flavoured beauty product gets us excited (gin and tonic bath bombs anyone?).

So naturally, when we stumbled upon beer flavoured lip balms, we felt they could not be ignored. 

Once again, Etsy has provided us with a weird and wonderful gift idea, and we thank them. 

Aromaholic is an online store that sells whimsically named lip balms, in every flavour imaginable.

Our favourite of their many offerings are the craft beer flavoured lip balms, which come in three different flavours. 

IPA, Belgian white ale and Vanilla porter are the flavours you can buy, and cost just €4 each (or €12 for the trio).

We REALLY want to try these out!

She’s gone glitter cowgirl, netted one piece and who could forget that infamous meat dress?

But in recent month’s Lady Gaga’s style could be described as verging on ordinary.

Thankfully the star has now corrected that impression by stepping out in a bizarre tulle ensemble in a unique show of support for US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

Last night, the 30-year-old hitmaker took to Instagram to reveal the eye-catching outfit which appears to involve visible underwear, a partially mesh skirt, a feather-topped cowboy hat and a whole lot of tightly scrunched tulle.

Each of the four images she uploaded is branded with an election focused caption.  These include “In times of stress I like to be fashionable #Election2016 #GoVote #ImWithHer” and “Let’s go you modern suffragettes, go put on your hats and #GoVote ‘Corsets Off’”.

She’s an outspoken feminist, an advocate for ditching makeup and now Alicia Keys has revealed herself as an opponent to the Disney classics.

In a new interview with Net-A-Porter’s The Edit, the Girl On Fire singer claimed she doesn’t like her sons watching Snow White because of the way in which its female protagonist is presented.

“I feel like it’s by design that I’m raising boys; like there’s a reason. I really feel that,” she said of her relationship with six-year-old Egypt and ten-month-old Genesis.

“They say that every child learns from their mother — it’s ingrained from babyhood.”

“Have you watched Snow White lately?” she asked.  “I get real funky about the classics; I don’t like [my sons] watching it.  It’s totally sexist, misogynistic – she’s cleaning for seven dwarfs.”

Clarifying that her issue lies with the way Snow White’s role is portrayed as opposed to the role itself, the 35-year-old said: “There’s nothing wrong with a woman who chooses to stay at home with her family, it’s a hard-ass job, but it’s the way it’s spoken about.”

OK so we cannot deny the fact that many celebrities look similar (Nina Dobrev and Victoria Justice anyone?).

However, this celebrity similarity is just freakish.

Katy Perry and Little Mix member, Perrie Edwards, are literally the same person.

The discovery was made by one of Perrie's fans, when she places a picture of the two stars together, to form one perfectly symmetrical face. 

The pair are virtually identical, even down to their choice of eyeshadow colours. 

The post was uploaded 2 days ago, and has since been liked over 62,000 times.

Fans of the two singers have been losing it, with thousands commenting on the picture. 

"This is TERRIFYING" wrote one fan, while another wrote "these two were switched at birth".

Tulisa Contostavlos has denied reports which suggest she pulled out of this year’s I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here days before she was due to fly to Australia.

According to the Daily Star, show sources claimed the singer had a last minute change of heart about appearing in the 16th series of the reality show because she has a fear of insects.

However a rep for the former X Factor judge has since told The Mirror that Tulisa couldn’t have dropped out of the series because she had never agreed to take part to begin with.

Tulisa’s rep said: “This story is complete lies.  Tulisa never signed up for I’m a Celebrity this year.  She never even had a meeting with the show this year.”

The Daily Star suggested that the former N-Dubz singer had been approached on multiple occasions about entering the famous jungle with an offer of £500,000 reportedly being put forward.

The site quoted the 28-year-old’s “epic bug phobia” as a potential reason for her alleged backing out and said Strictly Come Dancing’s Ola Jordan would take Tulisa’s place on I’m a Celebrity this year.

We love hair trends, and the more outrageous they are the better. 

The latest hair trend to hit Instagram is inspired by Lisa Frank illustrations, an ode to the nineties. 

Imagine rainbow hair, but done with more of a ballyage technique. 

The results are absolutely AMAZING, and we sort of want to try it out.

She jumped to fame as part of Netflix’s quirky sci-fi drama Stranger Things, but it seems Millie Bobby Brown will not be defined by her character, Eleven.

Having previously rapped Nicki Minaj lyrics and effectively covered Ed Sheeran’s Thinking Out Loud, the 12-year-old actress has appeared in her first music video.

Teaming up with Birdy and Sigma for their new track Find Me, the young Brit gives an emotive lip-syncing performance while starring as the video’s only featured character.

Millie told Rolling Stone that she was “excited” to be included in the project because she is a long time Birdy fan.
