Once the summer rolls around, most of us would step over our own mother to get our hands on tickets to our favourite music festival. (Sorry mam.)

But we'd draw the line at signing up to a weekend with a man who sounds like he's one Craigslist ad away from being on the FBI's Most Wanted List.

In a posting which was circulated widely before getting deleted, 56-year-old Gordon requested the company of a young woman for a weekend at Stateside festival, Coachella.

And while ostensibly the 'lucky' gal would be getting the ticket for nada, Gordon had, according to Some Life, a few stipulations which he would expect his guest to adhere to.

And this is where it gets very, very creepy.

We'll let Gordon take it from here…

"Ok here’s the deal. I have a VIP Pass for Weekend 2. I’m willing to give it away for free to the right person. I’m looking for a travel “companion” that can enjoy the festival with me and just have a good time," he wrote.

"I left my job as Supervising Manager at Soup Plantation and subsequently divorced my wife of 11 years. I cashed out my 401k and decided that moving forward, my life is all about having fun!"

And with that in mind, Gordon is all about finding the 'right one' to share in the 'fun'.

Here are just 20 guidelines Gordon would need you to stick to if you want to spend a week soaking up the sights and sounds of Coachella…with him.

1. Must be female between the ages of 19 and 25.
.
2. Must be comfortable traveling [sic] in a Recreational Vehicle (Vintage Shasta Chinook 3100 – pic attached.

3. Must have fashionable sense of style in the vein of typical Coachella goer (i.e. cute indian headband, small ripped jean shorts, lots of colorful bracelets, etc).

4. Preferably have a playlist of various Coachella artists on phone we can listen to on ride over.

5. Must keep hands and feet moisturized at all times.

And he doesn't stop there…

6. Must be open-minded and opportunistic.

7. Must be ok with periodic hand-holding (perhaps during certain sensual songs and while walking into the festival initially)

8. Fingernails and toenails must be nicely painted and harmonious with general color scheme of outfit.

9. I will provide snacks such as beef jerky and peanut butter sandwiches but if you have additional snacks and/or drinks…BIG BONUS!

10. Being social is fine but no excessive fraternizing with other male festival-goers, and male festival-goers, and most definitely NO PUBLIC AFFECTION with other festival-goers (violation of this rule results in immediate removal of Tropic Motor Motel room privileges and maybe even return ride).

Oh, there's more…

11. Periodic moments of extended eye contact.

12. Allow me to brush your hair once per day (not mandatory, but encouraged).

13. Must not be into drugs, pot ok.

14. Must take a minimum of four photos of us together and post them to your Instigram [sic] account.

15. Any personal grooming such as toenail clipping, eyebrow plucking or lipstick application must be done in my presence.

And the final (most terrifying) five…..

16. At least once during festival, you must allow me to carry you on my shoulders so you can see stage better (perfect time for instigram photo!)

17. At least twice during the festival you must tell me in a playful manner that 'I am naughty'.

18. At some point in time during the festival you must tell me that 'you didn’t know how this would go, but you’re actually having a really good time'

19. At least once during our stay after your shower, you must use the steam to write a cute message on the bathroom mirror for me to find later when I shower.

20. Must be ready to party and HAVE FUN!

Thanks Gordie, but we're going to have to pass.

James McAvoy and Anne-Marie Duff met on the set of Shameless and had the perfect on-screen relationship.

That transformed into a real-life relationship for nine years, only for them to separate last year.

They kept up appearances, but filed for divorce during the summer of 2016… and admittedly, our hearts were broken.

And now, James has opened up about how his life has changed since the break-up.

Speaking at the premiere of his new movie, Split, the actor said, "My life has changed massively.

"At the same time, so much has stayed the same. Even separated, we're still respectful of each other and committed to doing that publicly and personally."

It's good to see that there's no horrid fights or nasty jabs being thrown around. Still, we'll miss these two being together.

Unicorn everything blew up in 2016, but if you thought the trend was over, prepare to be mistaken.

Tasty, unicorn-themed treats have been all over our instagrams, from macaroons to doughnuts, but the latest confectionery invention is beyond dreamy.

These unicorn ice creams are the creation on baker Raymond Tn, a baker and food decorator based in Melbourne, Australia.

 Ray is a self taught baker who comes up with the most whimsical, adorable sweet treats we've ever seen.

Raymond actually does giveaways of these pops over on his Instagram, so if you're not in the mood to fly to Melbourne to get your hands on some, an Instagram add might be a better option.

We're still kinda down about Pretty Little Liars coming to an end this year.

Yep, April will mark the last ever season of the show (possibly), but that doesn't mean our girls are leaving our TV screens forever.

In fact, one of the girls is hopping right back on it with a new reality TV show.

According to Variety, Shay Mitchell, who plays Emily Fields on PLL, has landed herself her own show and looking at the description, we're going to be obsessed.

Named Shades of Shay, the series will give "an intimate look at [Shay's] life and the next phase of her career," now that she's finished filming Pretty Little Liars.

Reports suggest that the show will not only cover her professional life, but also her personal life.

We're going to be glued to this.

Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian just finalised their divorce in December, but it seems that Lamar is regretting his choice.

Appearing on talk show The Doctors, Lamar was asked: "Going forward, when you look at your life ahead of you, what are you looking forward to?”

"“Umm, honestly, I want my wife back,” he responded after a pause. 

The former NBA player just completed a month long stint in a rehabilitation centre, which is why he was appearing on the show.

The 37-year-old is set to discuss his life after rehab, and clearly he wants Khloe to be part of it.

Looks like that whole Revenge Body thing is working, Koko. 

 

A photo posted by Khloé (@khloe.kardashian1) on

The pair tied the knot in 2009, but split almost four years ago, amid rumours that the basketball player had cheated on his wife.

The divorce was delayed after Lamar fell into a coma after an alleged drug overdose in a Nevada brothel. 

The two have remained friends, with the two a attending Kanye West show together and Khloe seeing over Lamar's hospital recovery.

Barack Obama surprised his right hand man, Joe Biden, yesterday by honouring him with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Obama called Joe "the best vice president America's ever had" and also a "lion of American history."

The emotional ceremony saw Joe shed a few tears, and when Joey sheds tears, so does the whole world.

SO EMOTIONAL.

Here's the best reactions on Twitter:

We're not crying, YOU are.

If you've just endured a hellish day at the office, this recent footage may help to put things in perspective.

Australian news anchor, Amber Sherlock, went to town on her colleague, Julie Snook, when she realised they were both wearing white tops for the next segment of their live show.

Sounding like the girl everyone was afraid of in secondary school, Amber demanded that Julie change before expressing disbelief that she hadn't covered her white top on her first request hours before.

Looking like she's no stranger to Amber's attitude, Julie attempted to placate her co-anchor while the psychologist invited to participate in the segment looked on in discomfort.

And while Amber may have gotten her wish (Julie was given a jacket to wear), she has lost a lot of fans in the process.

Commenting on the footage which has amassed thousands of views on YouTube so far, one member of the public wrote: "For someone wearing white she really has shown her true colours."

"What a moron. please tell me she's been fired." added another.

Ladies, this makes for some seriously awkward viewing.

It’s staring us in the face, day in and day out, but it’s the last thing on our mind when it comes to cleaning.

The thoughts of sorting out the contents of our prized make-up bag, or washing brushes is just a painful thought; and, as our good friend Kimberly "Sweet Brown" Wilkins saidain’t nobody got time for that.

Even with the glorious brush cleaning devices that have swept the market, we still find the task as off-putting as any other chore.

But, spring is in the air, so perhaps it’s time to clean out that make-up bag sooner, rather than later.

Think of all those facial oils that absorb into the bristles of our much-loved brushes, and then think of all the bacteria that is now breeding on them – EUGH!

Taking into account their daily use, your make-up bag and applicators should at least get a weekly clean, or a wipe at the very least.

What you will need:

Brush cleanser

Cleansing shampoo

Hand towel or kitchen roll

Cleaning mitt or rubber gloves (optional)

1. The bag

You cart that bad boy everywhere, it lurks at the bottom of your handbag and your dirty brushes live in it, so washing it once a month will keep it in pristine condition.

Handwash it, or throw it in the machine if machine washable. You could use face wipes or baby wipes in-between to give it an extra spruce.

2. The Brushes

You slather, set, contour and make your face glow with these babies so treat them with a bit of TLC.

To keep them in good condition, your brushes and sponges should ideally be washed once a week.

Wash them individually using warm water and a cleansing shampoo. Don’t soak the brushes as this loosens the bristles, causing it to fall out over time.

Rinse well, pat dry with the towel, and leave to air dry on the hand towel or kitchen roll.

3. The Make-Up

Firstly, get rid of any out-of-date make-up or make-up you never use.

Mascara needs to be changed every three months, while lipsticks should ideally be changed every 6 months – anything over a year old is just bad.

Powder and eyeshadow containers get grubby too so, get a wipe or clean damp cloth, and wipe inside and out.

We all have our favourite shades of eye shadow or lipstick, but make up trends are forever changing and they also change with the season.

Updating your make-up colours with the seasons will keep you looking radiant all year round for example, bronzer looks great in the summer but out-of-place in the winter.

 

Go forth and clean, ladies

Oh we are SO excited about this news! 

Our favourite little elephant is set to hit the big screen once again, in a live action remake of Disney's Dumbo

Tim Burton, the genius behind The Nightmare Before Christmas, is planning to produce this reboot, and is already approaching some of Hollywood's biggest actors.

This week it was confirmed that Will Smith is in talks with the producers of the film, to play the father of children who form a bond with Dumbo.

Tom Hanks is also being considered for the role of the movie's villain, which would certainly be a change from his typical roles.

Of all the Kardashian sisters, Khloé is probably the most candid, so we've been waiting with bated breath for her to appear on James Corden's Spill Your Guts or Fill Your Guts,

But, surprisingly enough, it wasn't actually Khloé who dropped the biggest secrets this time around.

After being asked to reveal who he considered the rudest celebrity, James admitted that our very own Pierce Brosnan was far from gentlemanly after bumping into him at a U2 concert.

After explaining that Pierce left the venue, James revealed that he and the people he was with attempted to move into that space before being removed by the Irish star.

"And literally, I've never felt anything like it. This arm went on here and just pushed me out of the way," James admitted.

Oh, and when Khloé decided to defend him? James was having none of it…

Ladies, when it comes to going braless, we would consider ourselves true supporters of the #freethenipple movement.

HOWEVER, we cannot deny the fact that some situations are more socially acceptable than others when it comes to ditching the  bra! 

You know what we mean… you should probably wear a bra to mass or to the office (we said probably), but under no circumstances are you required to rock under wire in the following situations…

Image result for when you get home from work and you ditch your bra

The cinema

It's dark, your getting comfortable… and a bra should not get in your way! 

Holidays

You know what sucks? Sand in your bra… so really the only logical explanation would be not to bother. Don't even pack a bra when you go on your holidays… waste no time.

Netflix and chill

This one goes without saying. If you are at home, on the couch with your laptop and a massive bag of minstrels, then there should be NO bra in the mix. 

In bed

People who wear bras to bed? DON'T trust them.

Grocery shopping

Listen, you've managed to get yourself to the shop, which is a big enough achievement, so why bother adding a bra into the uncomfortable mix? 

Hangover days

Under NO circumstances should any of us be expected to wear a bra when hungover. You might as well be wearing a straight jacket, let those boobies breathe!

Lectures

If you are going to sit through 60 minutes of torture, then a bra should really be optional. Wear a baggy jumper though, for fear of a cold breeze. 

Coppers

You may start the night wearing a bra, but we can't guarantee you'll go home with it.

Your birthday

Why? Because nobody should have to wear a bra on their birthday… FACT! 

Live your authentic lives ladies… stay #braless!

There will be a time for wallowing in the doom and gloom of Donald Trump’s forthcoming presidency, but for now, it’s time to celebrate the outgoing First Family.

Say what you like about Barack Obama’s policies and achievements during his eight-year reign; he and his family were the definition of goals, and they sure are going to be missed.

As the moving vans arrive at the White House, we’re looking back at some of the most iconic images and moments from the Obamas’ time there.

 

1. Celebrating Barack’s first election victory as a family

All the way back in 2008, when Sasha and Malia were still tiny – and before the handsome Barack became a silver fox!

2. That famous fist-bump

An iconic moment after Barack secured the Democratic nomination back in 2008, perfectly capturing the couple's unified approach to his presidency.

3. Chilling out with Bo on the South Lawn

Barack and Michelle have always shown themselves to be devoted parents – both to daughters Sasha and Malia, and dogs Bo and Sunny!

4. That elevator snuggle 

Their aides may have tried their best to avert their eyes, but we couldn't get enough of this tender moment shared by the President and the First Lady, at the inaugural ball in 2009. Couple goals, personified.

5. Family first

This shot of the family flying into Chicago speaks volumes about their close bond – it's all hugs and hand-holding with the Obamas and their daughters.

6. Giving her the thumbs-up

Michelle is a total queen, and it's clear that Barack is head-over-heels in love with his woman – as demonstrated by his cool 'thumbs-up' last year, as they welcomed the Prime Minister and First Lady of Singapore to the White House.

7. Eyes only for each other 

While millions of us gushed at home as we watched them, it was always so clear that Barack and Michelle only had eyes for each other – even in the really big moments, like their first dance at the inaugural ball, in 2013.

8. Daddy's girls

While he may have spent eight years as the President of the United States of America, Barack's role as a parent was always most important to him. Sasha and Malia are clearly total daddy's girls, as proven by this gorgeous shot of the trio sitting down to watch Michelle deliver a speech on TV.
