Forgetting to put capital letters in an extensive hashtag can lead to all sorts of hilarious confusion, which is something Ed Sheeran found out recently.

Ed is one of the most popular singers around right now, so it's no wonder that the star has spawned a slew of hashtags to honour his various songs and accomplishments, but one in particular his been grabbing a lot of attention.

The #Sheeranalbumparty hashtag may seem innocent enough to the less filthy minded of us, but to others, the tag was a slogan of perceived perversion.

It's supposed to read Sheeran album party but the format of the hashtag makes it read something entirely different. 

The term was coined on Twitter after a tweet from Ed himself, in a nod to Susan Boyle's similar hashtag that went viral in 2012.

#Susanalbumparty was a genuine mistake made by a less than astute member of Susan Boyle's PR team, but luckily for Ed, his hashtag is just a prank. 

"I'm glad I'm not the only one on Twitter with a dirty mind this morning," said one amused fan. 

"Everyone lolling at the #sheeranalbumparty makes me feel old. Susan Boyle did it first AND unintentionally, a true star," said another.

Other have declared it the best hastag in existence.

What do you think?

Mischa Barton has been involved in a legal battle in recent weeks, after reports surfaced that an alleged sex tape of the star was being sold to pornography companies.

Mischa has been granted a restraining order against the person she believes to be responsible for the attempted sale of the tape, which falls under the revenge porn category as Mischa claims she was unaware she was being filmed. 

"I just want to say that I’ve been put through an incredibly hard and trying time,” she said in a statement.

“This is a painful situation, and my absolute worst fear was realised when I learned that someone I thought I loved and trusted was filming my most intimate and private moments, without my consent, with hidden cameras."

"Then I learned something even worse: that someone is trying to sell these videos and make them public."

"I came forward to fight this not only for myself but for all the women out there.”

“I want to protect them from the pain and humiliation I’ve had to go through. No woman should have to go through this,” she said.

“It is a very hard thing to do but I am glad that I am finally standing up for myself.”

The alleged creator and attempted distributor opf the tape has been instructed by a judge that he is under no circumstances able to "sell, distribute, give away or show any naked pictures of videos of any type of Mischa Barton," according to her lawyer.

Stephanie Davis is said to be the alleged victim of the assault claims that have been brought against ex-boyfriend Jeremy McConnell. 

The model has denied any involvement with any assault. 

Very few details about the investigation are known, but Merseyside Police have released a statement confirming they are looking into the report.

"Merseyside Police can confirm a report was received of an assault at a property on Thursday 9 March," a police spokesperson told the Mirror. 

“Officers were contacted on Sunday, 12 March and an investigation into the incident is on-going."

"At this time no arrests have been made.”

"Jeremy denies any wrong doing, however he is fully cooperating with the police in their investigations,” according to Jeremy's rep. 

According to The Mirror, it’s alleged that Stephanie was forced to call the police after Jeremy began behaving "oddly."

Stephanie then raised concerns from fans over some bruises which she documented in the bath on Snapchat.

There is currently no confirmation that these bruises are connected with the alleged assault in any way. 

Jeremy has returned to Ireland to be with friends and family.

We kinda freaked out when we heard that Love Actually is getting a sequel.

And even though it's only a ten minute short film, we can't wait for it to make its comeback.

Red Nose Day Actually will air on BBC One on March 24, and Andrew Lincoln was picked to tell us the news.

He hung up his zombie-slaying boots to do what he does best… communicate via placards.

 

And Twitter was loving it:

The luck of the Irish!

A woman from County Tyrone has won the Best Dressed prize at Ladies' Day at Cheltenham, and we're loving her look.

Una O'Farrell Feeney scooped up a reward of €11k, after judge Roz Purcell crowned her with the coveted prize.

However, Una said that she's not used to all this attention and even had her wedding abroad to avoid all the people.

She told the Herald, "It's funny because I went to New York to get married and there was only 10 people there because I don't like people looking at me and there's a lot more people looking at me now.

"I started thinking about what I was going to wear about four or five weeks ago. I got the dress and I had the shoes to match. I'm delighted, I'm overwhelmed. 

"I haven't won a Best Dressed before, I've never so much as won a pound in the lotto," Una added.

We're only delighted for her!

Imagine seeing a cake so beautiful you just want to launch into it… only to find vegetables in your mouth.

Bleh.

Well, that's the latest food craze in Japan.

According to CNN, salad cakes are taking over the country, as many are seeing them as a healthy alternative to traditional baked goods.

Japan's Mitsuki Moriyasu invented  "salad cakes", made entirely of vegetables, in 2015.

Called Vegedeco Salad (decorated vegetables), they first came on the scene in 2015 after cafe owner and food stylist, Mitsuki Mooriyasu, wanted to enjoy some guilt-free baking.

The icing is made out of tofu, the sponge cake is made from soy powder, eggs and vegetable oil and Mitsuki uses natural vegetable colouring to decorate her creations.

Then, once you bite inside, you will find marinated, cooked and diced veggies.

This next-level cake, flavored with pumpkin, has broccoli, cauliflower, beets and purple sweet potato inside, wrapped in yellow cauliflower, purple petit veil and amaranth sprouts.

"It looks like a normal cake — but it's made of only veggies. You can have it for breakfast, lunch… and it's very suitable for dinner with wine.

"Each cake tastes different, depending which vegetables we use, but I would say it tastes like something you've never had before," Mitsuki told CNN.

Lads, we don't know how we feel about this…

Pizza is probably one of our (if not the) favourite meals here in Shemazing HQ.

You just can't beat a delicious crisp base with gooey cheese and any topping you fancy. Mmm…

So, when we found out a pizza festival is heading to the UK, we were all ready to book our flights.

breakfast, color, cooking

Next month, Brum's Big Fat Pizza Festival is heading to Birmingham, and it sounds like an absolute delight.

Taking place on Saturday April 29, there will be pizza competitions, pizza game shows, pizza bingo and a pizza rave. We're not sure what a pizza rave entails, but we're sure up for it.

There will also be local artists, musicians and DJs to amuse you throughout the day. Oh, and there will be rum, gin and cocktail bars open so you can wash all the pizza down with a nice refreshing drink.

Tickets are only £7.50 (€8.65), and you can pre-order them here.

See you there?

When it comes to weight loss, each journey is unique, and invariably depends on the individual's physical composition, fitness levels and determination… among many other things.

Each person has their own tips and tricks for shedding the lbs, but it looks like one woman's approach to losing weight has seriously piqued the interest of social media users as her story is doing the rounds for the second time in 12 months.
 

Following the death of her mother and partner, Justine McCabe gained a considerable amount of weight, and after vowing to shed it, decided to document her journey by taking one selfie a day as she slowly made her way towards her goal.

Dropping from 313 lbs to 189, Justine shared her journey with Instagram users, and racked up more than a quarter of a million views in the process.

 

The person you see reflecting in the mirror…will provide you with the biggest challenges in life. The human spirit is powerful. Do the work. Suffer the setbacks, push past the pain and excuses. True motivation is not an outside source. It's staring directly back at you. There is nothing you cannot be, do or have. Live with no regrets and don't ever give up. This is what drives me.

"The person you see reflecting in the mirror will provide you with the biggest challenges in life. The human spirit is powerful," she wrote in a post last summer.

"Do the work. Suffer the setbacks, push past the pain and excuses. True motivation is not an outside source. It's staring directly back at you," she continued.

 

Make today your Monday!I have started and stopped more times than I can count. I was convinced I would be unhappy and overweight forever…until the day came that I had enough. Enough exhaustion, enough depression, enough self shame…enough of living in a body that didn't feel like me. Every single decision you make will get you closer than you were yesterday. Take the stairs, park further away, cut out that extra serving, go to the gym when you don't want to, learn to live healthy…and whatever you do…just keep moving. Keep doing.

"There is nothing you cannot be, do or have. Live with no regrets and don't ever give up. This is what drives me. My motivation," she finished.

Justine used exercise to combat the depression she had sunk into following the loss of her mother and partner, admitting: "There were a few times I cried on that elliptical,”

Over the course of two years, Justine says she has developed a love and passion for health and fitness.

"I could become complacent with my accomplishments, but why would I do that? We've got one shot at this life," she insists. "I'm going to push every boundary, face every fear, fill my life with knowledge, determination and inspiration."

Pretty Little Liars has been with us since we were young teens and it's safe to say we pretty much grew up with the characters.

That's probably why we got all the feels watching this trailer.

The latest teaser focuses on the girls' kickass friendship throughout the years, from where they all started to where we last saw them.

The good times, bad times and bizarre times are all thrown into this 50 second clip and if you're a fan of the show, you're going to get chills. 

Pretty Little Liars will make its comeback on April 18, and we're going to be sad to see it go.

If you're a former Disney child, then you'll know all about its original movies.

And to say the least, Camp Rock was one of the biggest films to hit our TV screens as kids.

It was the first time we really fell in love with Demi Lovato, Nick, Joe and Kevin Jonas.

Demi and the lads now have big and bright careers in the music business, but it looks like they could be heading back to the Disney Channel sometime soon.

Joe has constantly been teasing fans that Camp Rock is making a return, but he's teased the same thing many times over the years, therefore, nobody really believes him anymore.

But now, Demi has come forward and said that Camp Rock 3: The College Years is "totally" going to happen.

While on the red carpet at the Kids' Choice Awards last week, the singer took the credit for the comeback.

When asked about the rumours by Entertainment Tonight, Demi said: "My idea, my idea! We're totally going to do it. It'll be like American Pie meets Disney Channel… It's going to happen."

American Pie meets Disney Channel? Now that's something we're down with.
