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

We're going to come right out and say it – we adore the Obama family.

From the President's drop the mic public addresses to the First Lady's decision to ride shotgun with James Corden, the Obama family are the family you WISH you had if only everyone could just play it cool for five damn seconds.

And yet while President Obama broke the mould in so many, many ways, he remains steadfast in his traditional approach to one particular job – fatherhood.

Reminding the public that you can be schlick as a world leader but a total goon when it comes to your children, good ol' Barack decided to serenade his oldest daughter during yesterday's 4th of July celebrations in the White House, and we cannot get enough.

From his God-awful singing voice to the appreciative-but-please-stop side hug Malia goes for, this is just too adorable.

Ladies, fast forward to 4.00 for that oh-so-golden moment…

If the Kardashian girls are known for anything it's got to be their killer curves, but with the release of Fergie's controversial new MILF video people are once again questioning if Kim's waist really is tiny as it seems to be.

Mrs Kardashian West appears numerous times in the star-studded clip and – in classic Kardashian style – she is mostly seen in figure-hugging clothing.

But when the reality star is seen wearing a skin-tight body suit which looks like a pair of booty-shorts and a white MILF tee, her waist looks surreally small when compared to her hips.

Fans are continuing to suggest that her waist has been virtually trimmed down in the shot with comments like "omg her proportions look horrifying" and "the photoshop makes her look so distorted" appearing repeatedly online.

In an attempt to silence the haters – or prove she really does have the most naturally curvacious frame on the planet – Kim took to Snapchat on Sunday to share some behind-the-scenes footage from the making of MILF.

 

In the clip a blonde Kim can be seen posing on set while the caption reads "F*ckYoPhotoShop #CorsetLife", which would suggest that she has had some waist-defining help in the video but that it's of the more traditional kind rather than being technologically enhanced.

The authenticity of Kim's famous figure was also thrown into doubt back in 2014 when her Internet-breaking Paper magazine cover was released.

At the time Paper’s editorial director told E! News: “So many people have asked us 'Oh, is that butt…it can't be real, it's padded, you added to it, in retouching…' That is all 100 percent Kim Kardashian."

"We did not create a body. We did not shave pounds of her waist."

“That is who she is. That's what she looks like. That's why she's a superstar."

You'd think to woo a star like Rita Ora you'd have to go all out with the glamour – flowers, champagne, fine dining maybe?

But apparently the British singer is quite happy trade all that in for a simple cheeky Nando's!

According to The Sun, Rita was spotted in the popular restaurant with none other than Professor Green last week and the pair were reportedly looking pretty cosy as they chowed down on a portion of Peri-Peri chips.

The recently divorced rapper picked the former X Factor judge up from her East London home on Thursday afternoon before taking her for food.

And, according to a Sun source, the pair even shared a quick kiss when Rita got into the car: “Pro picked Rita up and she seemed really excited to be heading out with him. They had a friendly kiss in the car before heading off.”  Cute!

So what happens when two pretty major celebrities walk into a chain restaurant?  Well, everyone stares.

The source said:   “Inside it was really busy and people did stop and stare."

“It’s not every day two of the biggest pop stars in the country are just hanging out together in your local restaurant."

“They seemed totally relaxed and fine being somewhere down to earth. They were laughing and joking and very comfortable in each other’s company.”

 

Unfortunately friends close to the pair are insisting they are just old friends and that any car kissing was just to say a friendly hello.  

Rita – who was admitted to hospital for exhaustion last week – has recently been linked to her ex Calvin Harris.

Meanwhile rumours have been circulating that Professor Green has a romantic interest in our very own Vogue Williams, but Vogue told Loose Women the pair are just mates.

Congratulations today to Emily Blunt and John Krasinski who have welcomed their second child.

John took to Twitter to announce the news and revealed that their little girl had been born two weeks ago.

Sharing the news on Independence Day, The Office star wrote:

“What a better way to celebrate the 4th… than to announce our 4th family member!”

John even went on to reveal their second daughter’s name and we just love it.

“2 weeks ago we met our beautiful daughter Violet.”

Looks like this celebrity couple are sticking with a colourful theme as little Violet now becomes the little sister to two-year-old Hazel.

The pair announced they were expecting their second child in January.

John spoke about adapting to life as a dad on the Ellen show where he said Hazel is trying to decide on what accent she should go with.

"She is talking. She's talking a lot. She's starting to do little bits, which is hilarious. Like if she's looking for me instead of saying, 'Daddy, Daddy,' she says, 'Where is that daddy?'.

"And she's starting to pick up on Emily's accent."

Huge congratulations to the pair and we can’t wait to see pictures.

Debbie Rowe, the mother of two of Michael Jackson's children, Paris and Prince, has been diagnosed with breast cancer. 

The couple met in 1996, while Debbie was working as a nurse in Dr. Arnold's dermatology office, where Jackson was being treated for vitiligo, the disorder that changed Jackson's skin colour. 

The 57 year old married the Billie Jean singer in back in 1996, having expressed her interest in having his children.

The love birds had two children during their short three year marriage, Paris Jackson, now 18, and Prince Jackson, now 19. 

According to TMZ, Paris, who stopped speaking to her mother over a year ago, is not aware of her mother's illness.

This mother-daughter relationship began to fall apart a few years after Michael Jackson's death, when Paris started dealing with a number of personal issues. 

Debbie Rowe is currently engaged to The King of Pop's former business manager,  Marc Schaffel. 

We hope she has a speedy recovery!

We all know that the TV and movie industry can be a cut-throat business, so we shouldn't be overly surprised that stars miss out on acting roles because of other people's egos, should we?

But we're still a little stunned to learn that David Hasslehoff, who played Mitch Buchanan in Baywatch, ensured the Oscar-winning actor, Leonardo DiCaprio, didn't secure a role on the world-famous TV show when he was 15.

Having tried out for the role of Hobie – David's on-screen son – Leonardo ultimately failed to secure the role despite the fact the production team were all for it.

Speaking to the Hollywood Reporter, show producer, Michael Berk, said: "We actually had DiCaprio ready to be cast. But David thought he was too old to play his son."

Concerned how he would appear to the show's global audience, David persuaded the team to re-cast for the role, with Michael revealing: "David thought it would make him look older. He had a lot of concerns of that type."

The role in the show, which ran from 1989 to 2001, ultimately went to nine-year-old Jeremy Jackson whose star never really ascended as high as good ol' Leo's.

Jeez David…

Fergie's new video for MILF, has resulted in a major internet debate on the empowerment of Mothers.

The reaction to the video has been mixed, with some people seeing it as degrading and others empowering. 

One anti-milf commented on the YouTube video saying 'All I see is women with NO self respect. "Milfs" can be sexy without acting like HOES.' 

On the pro side of the argument, we saw a number of very positive reactions to Fergie's concept.

One fan commented on the YouTube post saying 'I love that this song is empowering to mothers, that they are still sexy even though they've had kids! its also the first time they're sexualising moms who breast feed.'

As accents go, we have always been major fans of an Australian twang.

And what is hotter than an Australian accent you ask? Zac Efron doing an Australian accent – THAT'S WHAT. 

In a clip from his upcoming movie, Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates, Zac is forced to imitate an Aussie in order to sell Tequila. 

Throw some shrimp on the barbie, and have a listen here…

The High School Musical heartthrob spoke to news.com.au, where he mentioned his concerns about his dodgy accent.

"Hopefully I didn’t screw up too bad. It’s a very difficult accent and I have a lot of respect for people that can do it well … and for Australia. So I don’t want to mess it up. But for the sake of comedy I will give it my best shot" the star said. 

Don't worry Zac, you were #flawless

Efron has already starred in two major comedies this year, Bad Neighbours 2 and Dirty Grandpa, which leads us to think he is trying his hand at a career as a professional funnyman.

Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates is set for release this Thursday, the 7th, and it looks HILARIOUS.
