Ever since she appeared on Ex on the Beach and Celebrity Big Brother, there's been no denying Megan McKenna's fiery temper.

And it doesn't look that her experience in the public eye has done anything to rein it in if a recent Twitter outburst is anything to go by.

After sharing a snap of herself sipping on a drink while propping up a bar, the Essex-native tweeted: "Doing what I do best."

And while the post racked up likes from die-hard TOWIE fans, some Twitter users used the post to reference the star's messy relationship with fellow reality star Pete Wicks.

"Really? Coz Pete said you don't drink?" wrote one while another added: "Not according to Pete!"

"All you've done is drink since Pete said you didn't and was boring, very sad, be you!! Not what he wants," remarked yet another.

Instead of ignoring the remarks, Megan went off on one and replied: "You don't f*cking no me! I drank before. Keep your opinion to yourself you troll. I HATE people like you!"

Proving they have the reality star's back, many of Megan's fans were quick to set the record straight… well, kind of.

"You obviously never watch Ex on the Beach," wrote one. "She's always drank." while another added: "If i remember correctly, she drank before any of this, so your point is irrelevant tbh."

Well. good to know… ahem…

As anyone with a Twitter account will know, the Internet is a hypersensitive environment at the best of times.

But for an A-list celebrity with links to the most high-profile divorce of the decade, the realm of social media is an aggravated minefield waiting for its next victim.

While attempting to comment on the US presidential race over the weekend, Justin Theroux inadvertently criticised his wife’s ex-husband, Brad Pitt, and in doing so drew the wrath of the web onto himself.

After posting a shot of some Berlin street art – which happens to contain the words “F*ck Brad Pitt” – to his Instagram account, the American Psycho star was forced to deny any intention of wrongdoing.

Since sharing the image, the 45-year-old director has added a lengthily hashtag which claims the post is not shading anyone because he is “not eleven years old”.

With a hashtag like “andNOthispostisNOT‘shading’anyonebecauseimnotelevenyearsoldimeanseriously” we think Justin has proved his point in the most grown-up way possible.

Remember the last time you were in such dire need of a chocolate fix, you helped yourself to a stranger's KitKat after letting yourself into their car?

Yeah, us neither.

And while there have been times we'd have stepped over our own mothers for half a Malteaser, we generally subscribe to the school of thought that stealing is wrong… even if you do own up to your actions in a note scrawled on a discarded napkin.

Highlighting the gall of some chocaholics, Hunter Jobbins took to Twitter to share a note which he found in his car after he left his vehicle unattended on college campus.

"Saw KitKat in your cup holder, I love Kit Kats so I checked your door and it was unlocked," read the note. "Did not take anything other than the KitKat. I am sorry and hungry."

Sounding worryingly used to this type of carry-on, Hunter tweeted: "Left my car for maybe 15 minutes in front of the dorms and I come back to this. College, man."

We're sorry, but this is not something we'd get over too quickly.

Thankfully, KitKat is with us on this one and swiftly replied to Hunter's post in an effort to make it up to him.

"Who steals someone's Kit Kat?! WHO DOES THAT?! Shoot us a DM and we'll replace it for you," they assured him.

Ya know what? We've had a few stolen on us in the past too…

Adding fuel to the rumours that this year's X Factor has been a fix from start to finish, the latest contestant to leave the show has revealed she had been told her time was up 24 hours before the announcement was made.

Gifty, who lost out to girl band Four of Diamonds on Sunday night, sounded pretty resigned while being interviewed in the aftermath of her departure, and even suggested that there's more to the show than meets the eye.

While viewers and fans of the show were left reeling by the 20-year-old's departure. the aspiring star seemed less stunned and admitted that the result didn't come as a surprise.

During an interview with On Demand Entertainment, the former contestant said: "Oh I knew I was going home, I got told I was going home on the Saturday night, so I knew.”

And yet in spite of this shocking claim, Gifty played down fix rumours, saying: "When it comes to the whole fix allegations I don’t know I can’t say anything, I’m not the producer."

"I feel like the show is what you make of it," she continued. "We just perform and we just have to be great and hope people vote for us."

Gifty's departure was the subject of intense criticism after her own mentor, Simon Cowell, opted to vote her off the show in error – a gaffe for which he has since apologised.

"It was embarrassing and humiliating! That's the nature of live TV but it was horrible," he said. "People should have voted for her that's the way it goes."

Gifty's remarks come after reports that Honey G is being given the royal treatment behind the scenes.

Ireland’s Euros hero Robbie Brady has proposed to his long-term love, Kerrie Harris.

On Sunday, dance school owner Kerrie took to Instagram to celebrate her engagement to the Irish soccer star by sharing a photo of the couple with their two-year-old daughter Halle.

“That’s Halloween sorted so.  Feyonce it is,” wrote Kerrie.  “#HePutARingOnIt My heart could burst right now #FutureMrsBrady.”

Clearly delighted by the proposal, the 24-year-old continued to celebrate the good news online last night as she posted a picture of her stunning engagement ring to social media.

Kerrie – who first started dating the Norwich City footballer when she was just 16 years old – captioned the post: “My new favourite accessory #TheBoyDidSoGood #TheDream #Fiancé.”

OK, so we all know a couple's official wedding photographs have the potential to look a little… well… samey.

With many photographers following the same pattern for most couples, it's no surprise that many newlyweds want to shake up the process and inject a little individuality into proceedings.

But it looks like one couple's quest for a unique set of snaps backfired when they found themselves on the receiving end of serious abuse after sharing them online.

In a move not many of us would be rushing to replicate, Gareth Ferguson and his wife Toni decided to simulate a sex act as part of their official photos, and not everyone is impressed.

"People have told us it's disgusting, that we've lost the plot or have missed what a wedding is supposed to be about. Some have even called it porn," admitted Toni.

Offering an insight into their thought process, Gareth said: "The photo was both of our ideas. We wanted to do something a bit different."

"Nobody knew about it except the photographer. He found it hilarious when we told him what we wanted before the big day – he loved it."

While many couples would blanch at the prospect of posing for such an intimate shot, the newlyweds said they had a blast posing for the photo.

"We were in absolute hysterics. I'm glad you couldn't see her face and I had my back to my camera because we could not stop laughing." Gareth confirmed.

"Toni spent ages just staring at the floor giggling like a schoolgirl. I don't think she would have made it through any of the others I wanted to do. That was by far the tamest one."

According to the Irish Mirror, the couple have since removed the shot from Facebook after receiving countless negative comments.

Since first hitting screens in 2011, the cast of Geordie Shore have provided viewers with endless rows, unstable romances and some seriously mortal sessions.

But with Vicky Pattison, Charlotte Crosby and most recently Holly Hagan opting to leave the show which propelled them to fame, it looks like those left in the house are also beginning to question their futures with MTV.

Last month, Scotty T revealed plans to stick with the controversial reality series until he turns 30 in two years’ time, but now the Newcastle native has admitted that he is taking a break from the show.

Speaking to Digital Spy, the popular Geordie explained: “The thing is, I might be taking a break.”

“Whenever I go on Geordie Shore, I go too wild – I just need to calm down.  And obviously the filming dates clash with [my] pantomime [in Leeds], so that could be a big thing.”

Despite acknowledging the role partying played in his decision, Scotty was quick to deny reports which suggest he has been warned by show producers to curb his behaviour.

“There's a lot of things in the media that aren't true these days,” he said.  “But it's people talking about me.  At the end of the day, if it was true, would I still be here?  Would I still be doing the show? Exactly.”

While his role in the next series of Geordie Shore may be limited, Scotty told the site that he’s not willing to ditch the show completely just yet, but confessed that when he does return to the house, he will be “a lot calmer” than he has been in the recent past.

 

Sounds like a good idea to us.

While the X Factor is no stranger to novelty acts (Wagner, Stevie Ritchie and Jedward to name but three), it's not often you hear they receive special treatment from the production team, right?

In all fairness, most novelty acts have been used to stir up debate among viewers until they're eventually booted out and the contest can really get started.

But it looks like Honey G is the exception to the rule, with rumours flying that the aspiring rapper is being treated like royalty by members of the show's production team.

"Honey G‘s ego is out of control at the moment, she is the only contestant who gets her own dressing room and anything the G wants, the G gets," admitted a source.

Unsurprisingly, fellow contestants are feeling pretty put-out by the dynamic – something which Honey G apparently couldn't care less about.

"There is such an atmosphere backstage with Honey G going from being a really popular member of the team to the token favourite, and the other contestants are getting angry," the insider added.

Confirming the rumours, Honey G told radio presenter Scott Mills that she's the only contestant to be given her own private space in the multi-million pound house which the contestants share over the course of the show.

"I have my own room because I'm special like that. Hip hop stars who are rich and famous who've made it probably don't sleep in bunk beds," she reasoned during the interview.

Unlike other years when novelty acts were wheeled out and subjected to a barrage of criticism from the judges week in week out, Honey is the star of the show right now, and her treatment confirms that.

"She only has to click her fingers for water and the production assistants are all over her. Everyone else has to fend for themselves," the show's source added.

Imagine what it'll be like when she actually hits the big-time… ahem.

There are people who lovebomb their other halves at every available opportunity (Liam Payne, we're looking at you), and then there are other people who use Instagram to rip it out of their significant others.

Step forward, Jessica Biel.

In a move which will surely garner her a whole host of new fans, the actress decided to take the p*ss out of JT and his recent brush with the law.

Having snapped himself voting in the US presidential election, the Cry Me a River singer found himself on the wrong side of the law for violating a new Tennessee law which prohibits voters from using phones for any purpose while voting.

Reminding the public of her husband's misdemeanour, Jessica took a shot of herself rocking an 'I voted' sticker and gave a shout-out to Justin in the process.

"When you're so turnt up about voting that you do a photo shoot with your sticker and think it's cool but then second guess it, but you've already posted, but at least you waited to get home before snapping so you won't almost go to jail, shout out to@justintimberlake."

Jessica's post, which has clocked up more than 77,000 likes, has been inundated with comments from fans who loved her spin on the incident.

"Omg I'm dead! She is too funny," wrote one while another added: "Relationship goals."

Courtney Smith has been one of our go-to stylists for years now and we always take inspiration from her fab outfits and bold fashion choices.

Well, Courts has teamed up with Buffalo Shoe Lab to bring us a capsule collection that any fashionista will die for.

From slouchy thigh-highs to metallic ankle grazers, there will be something to suit every style in the collection.

Speaking about the new venture, Courtney said: “It has been a dream come true, working so symbiotically with head Shoe Lab designer Audrey Murray and teaming her creative expertise with my vision.

"For me, this is such a natural partnership as Buffalo has always been my go-to shoe store both as a stylist and a girl obsessed with amazing footwear.”

If you want a pair of these babies for yourself, check out Buffalo Show Lab website here, or drop into the Shoe Lab stores on Exchequer Street from 9 November and in Arnotts from 10 November.

Prices start from €155.

The prospect of seeing a couple hit it off in the First Dates restaurant is one of the main reasons we tune into the popular Channel 4 show because, let's be honest, we have to endure some pretty awkward exchanges for the most part.

After watching one guy play the old 'I've left my credit card at home' trick in the latest episode, viewers were in dire need of a real spark, and thankfully, Ibiba and Aaron delivered on that front.

Hitting it off from the jump, the pair traded compliments and shared pretty intimate details of their lives with one another over dinner before revealing they would love to see each other again.

After getting together and meeting each other's children, the loved-up couple returned to the restaurant to share some pretty exciting news with viewers who championed their union – they're expecting a baby!

And Twitter had an absolute field day.

We'll be honest here – if someone decides to break out the Thriller dance, we're gonna need to see a lot of enthusiasm.

That iconic dance just doesn't cut it unless it's being performed with the same energy Jacko and the crew gave it back in the day.

So, when President Obama and the First Lady decided to give it a bash during a Halloween event in the White House over the weekend, they didn't quite blow us away.

Looking kind of reluctant to fully let their hair down, the couple gave a fairly lacklustre performance, but look, they tried all the same, right?

And while the vast majority of us see the sweetness behind the impromptu routine, not everyone is as willing to offer props.

Commenting on the footage which hit YouTube yesterday, one member of the public wrote: "That's exactly how much effort he puts into his presidency too."

"This is the lowest energy "Thriller Dance" I have ever seen. Sad!" commented one YouTube user.

"The Obama's have no passion for anything American," remarked one while another added: "They should be packing and moving out. Time to go dance your way out of office."

The video has racked up more than 55,000 hits in less than a day, but there's no denying the Obamas have divided the public on this one.
