She’s been branded a diva by Bruno Mars, but it seems a low key engagement could be on the cards for Adele.

Just weeks after her partner Simon Konecki arranged for a cloud of love notes to rain on the singer mid-show, reports have begun to emerge which suggest the couple have quietly agreed to get married.

According a Mirror source, the 28-year-old Grammy winner and 42-year-old charity boss have decided “it’s the right time to think about making that step”.

A friend of the couple said: “They won’t make a big song and dance about it, that’s not the way either of them are, and you won’t see Adele walking around with a huge diamond on her finger flaunting it.”

“But they’re ready to take the next step and [are] both very excited about the prospect.”

With the arrival of the Trumpkin, it’s become increasingly obvious that pumpkins are one of the world’s most versatile fruits.

They can portray political agendas, act as fillers for pies or simply decorate people’s porches. 

But did you know the humble pumpkin can also be used to produce music?

Having previously used wine glasses, frying pans and rubber bands as instruments, software engineer Dan Ndombe headed to a pumpkin patch to source some seasonal inspiration for his latest online music video.

Having selected pumpkins of various shapes and sizes, the Arkansas based YouTuber cut into the Halloween treats, filled them with water and proceeded to use them as drums to create one of the most unique renditions of the Ghostbusters theme tune the Internet has ever heard.

Harry is believed to have met the brunette model while visiting Toronto this summer to launch the Invictus Games.

Having been one of the most talked about web series of the year, there’s bound to be more than a few Stranger Things costumes this Halloween.

Already actress Amy Schumer has set high expectations for such attire as she and boyfriend Ben Hanisch have teamed up to channel two of the show’s most beloved characters.

Last night, the 35-year-old New Yorker took to Instagram to share a series of images in which she is dressed as Stranger Things’ Dustin while her boo pulls off his best Eleven.

Equipped with backpacks, bikes and epic captions, it’s safe to say Amy and Ben are #HalloweenGoals.

Yes, you read that correctly, people are hopping on the band waggon of a new hair trend, and it is BIZARRE. 

Super Mario pixel hair is a kind of dye art that was created by the group Xpresion Creativos from Madrid, Spain.

When the model's hair is in moving, it just looks like she has multi-colored highlights.

HOWEVER, when her hair is straight and still, you can see the man himself.

Before emojis came on the scene all we had to work with was the letters and symbols on our keyboards, and to be honest, we ended up with some pretty dodgy signs for laughing faces – remember putting a whole load of ':L' or ':P' at the end of a text?!

So that's why we need to be really thankful to Shigetaka Kurita, who created the emojis we love and use today.

While speaking to The Guardian recently, Shigetaka said that he never thought emojis would become as popular as they are today (he created his first batch of them way back in 1999, FYI).

''I’m surprised at how widespread they have become. Then again, they are universal, so they are useful communication tools that transcend language.''

And even though he must have made thousands of emoijs in his time, his favourite isn't anything flashy or cool; it's actually the sweetest one there is.

''I still have a soft spot for the ones that communicate positive emotions.'

''I would say the heart is my all-time favourite.''

Brilliant! What's your favourite one? We love the sassy girl.

According to the Independent, police are investigating the tragic event and three men, aged 26, 39 and 32, were taken into custody for drug-related enquiries.

Peter Cassidy, a neighbour of Amy said: "It's another young life lost. She was just a 21-year-old with her whole life ahead of her. The people who live round and about her are really stunned."

Our condolences go out to Amy's family at this difficult time.

As you probably know were big fans of Bryan Cranston here in Shemazing! HQ, and we basically love everything he does.

Whether it's a TV show, a movie or even leaving little notes in airports for his fans, it's seems like he can do no wrong.

And wait until you listen to him reading Shout Out To My Ex, Walter White shtyle.

Bryan was being interviewed by BBC Radio One during the week and they asked him to read out the lyrics to the Little Mix hit.

We have to say, he totally killed it. And of course, his fans loved it too:

Cute kids and adorable dogs will slay us any day of the week, but this scene in a dog shelter in the US is totally breaking our hearts.

Children aged between 6 and 14 are kneeling outside kennels of dogs who are shy and fearful and reading them their favourite books in hope to comfort the canines.

How sweet!

Reading to shelter dogs

Jo Klepacki, the director at the Humane Society in Missouri told The Dodo: "We wanted to help our shy and fearful dog[s] without forcing physical interaction with them to see the positive effect that could have on them."

The kids are asked to take a short course that helps them to read the body language of a dog and look out for signs of stress or nervousness. 

After they complete the course, the kids are then encouraged to soothe the pups through reading.

"Hearing a child reading can really calm those animals. It is incredible, the response we've seen in these dogs.

"What this is also doing is to bring the animals to the front in case potential adopters come through.

"They are more likely to get adopted if they are approaching and interacting, rather than hiding in the back or cowering."

We can't deal!
