Anne Marie brought us the TUNE that is 2002.

The singer has worked her magic once again, but this time she has stepped out of the studio and into the world of food.

Taking to Twitter, the British superstar has started a chain of weirdo food combos and honestly, it is giving us a laugh and the shivers.

Get ready to either vomit or defend some of the food responses. 

And, it's not a bad way to find out who the real freaks of your friend group are. 

Here are some obsessions with vegetables, tomato ketchup and salt. – EW.

 

Nutella fans shield your eyes now.

Although these make more sense that the vegetables, they're still odd.

We can understand the appeal of sweetness of the Nutella paired with the saltness of the meat, but the cheese? 

The next food combo is actually a personal favourite and I will defend it.

The balance of hot and cold, mixed with the salt and sweet makes this a delicious pairing.

Yep – it's the old staple – chips and ice cream/milkshake.

Then we revert to the right down wrong food friends and we can't cope.

Does vinegar really accompany baked beans? What happened to good old fashioned toast?

We will not be thanking you – that sounds horrendous.

Now people are sinning against the perfection that is avocado.

This twitter account suggests adding jam to our avocado and we are having none of it.

Is there any food combinations you swear by?

I highly recommend white bread, buttered with bourbon biscuits – to make the ultimate sandwich. 

Give it a go before you call me out and bunch me in with these food weirdos!

Strictly will be on our screens in the next week and the excitement for it's return is really ramping up. 

Pro-dancer favourite Kevin ''from Grimsby'' Clifton has announced that he is taking on a new venture.

Any guesses as to what it is?

Kev is planning on launching a Strictly podcast – well, if his fans are interested, that is!

It was during a live broadcast that he let slip that he is really into podcasts, especially football ones. 

He then asked for help in naming the podcast – so keeps your ears out for that. 

In other Strictly news, Kevin has been defending the BBC's choice to sign up YouTuber Joe Sugg as a contestant for this year.  

There were many disgruntled people complaining that Joe wasn't famous enough to earn a place on the hit show.

Kevin stepped in to back the Internet sensation, who has 8.2 million subscribers on his video channel.

 

Congrats @iamashleyroberts @bbcstrictly

A post shared by Kevin Clifton (@keviclifton) on

"Why do they have to be on TV a lot to be well known. And YouTube is TV. Just a different screen. He will bring in new viewers that never would watch Strictly and would have no idea who any of us ballroom dancers are…" he said.

There was also people commenting on the fact that some contestants already have previous dance experience.

When contestant Ashley Roberts – a Pussycat Dolls singer, dancer and choreographer, was added to the line-up, Kevin responded with, ''there's always some with dance experience. She will be learning ballroom for the first time. I suck at tap for example. Also @bbcstrictly leaves it to the voter. You vote for your favourite, doesn't have to be the best dancer by the judges." 

Go Kevin, you were always our fave.

Yes, you read right.

Winona Ryder is known for being a bit, shall be say, quirky.

However, during the press tour for her up-and-coming movie, Destination Wedding alongside Keanu Reeves, she shocked with a confession. 

She is sure that she married Keanu Reeves on-camera when they made Dracula in 1992. 

According to Entertainment Weekly, Winona said, “we actually got married in Dracula. No, I swear to god I think we’re married in real life.''

While their characters get married in the movie, the man marrying them wasn't acting like they were. 

“In that scene, Francis [Ford Coppola] used a real Romanian priest,” she explained. 

“We shot the master and he did the whole thing. So I think we’re married.”

It seems that Keanu doesn't share the same crystal-clear memory as his co-star as he asked Winona did they actually say ''yes''.

Yep, they did, she reminded him.

''It was Valentine's Day,'' she told him.

How romantic! 

The penny finally dropped for her alleged hubby whe he admitted, “oh my gosh, we’re married.''

And it's all thanks to director Francis Ford Coppola

Destination Wedding hits cinemas on August 31st and we are so there – who doesn't love two '90s icons?

With CAO Results out today, soon comes the panic that comes with looking for student accommodation – let's be real, it's a hellish situation. CAO offers are made on 20th August leading to a scramble (to put it mildly!) for any living arrangements that might be half-decent – given that securing accommodation in Dublin at the moment is akin to the search for the Holy Grail. Rents are high and choices are few, so it's a source of worry for many. 

Finding the right place presents many hurdles and problems for students and their families. With this in mind, and should you be lucky to nab a place before college starts up, leading student accommodation provider Hazelwood Student Village shares their top do’s and don’ts when searching for student accommodation so that even the little things aren't forgotten before you sign any dotted lines.

Do: Start your search now – Location, Location, Location

If you have filled out your CAO form you know the location of the universities and colleges you have applied to. Start your search now. Before you receive your CAO offer know the area you’d like to live in. Create a shortlist. You would be best placed to start your search now and familiarise yourself with what is to offer. It’s important to think about the convenience of your accommodation; would you be near to the university facilities, local shops, nightlife? identify areas with good transport links so that you can widen your search. Prioritise areas where you will feel safe, check that it is close to amenities and shops. With these areas mapped out, you will be a step ahead when you receive your CAO offer.

 

Do: Work out your priorities and your non-negotiables – Safe and Sound

Think about your preferred accommodation. To share or not to share? What are your priorities? Security, Ease of Access to college, Strong reliable internet connection, bedroom size, Public transport directly into the City Centre or to your college? What can’t you live without? Once you have identified what your top priorities are, this will help narrow down your search. Safety and security should be top of the agenda when you move into a new property. Some purpose-built student accommodation has security gates, manned security personnel. Make sure these are on your list.

Do: Ask for advice

If you have any friends or family living in Dublin ask them what they know – you never know what tips they might come out with. If you know students the year ahead of you who have been through this exercise ask their advice.

Don’t: Panic and take the first accommodation you view

Once you have started searching for accommodation in or near Dublin, don’t make the rookie error of placing a deposit with the first place you view. Make sure to shop around.

Don’t: Be scammed

There are online scams and frauds. Meet the landlord or agency. If you pay in cash, get a receipt. Only sign a contract for the period you intend to stay in the accommodation, remember if you do not require the accommodation for the summer agree that you re renting for the college terms only. Take photographs of the accommodation before you move in. Note any damage, any paintwork chipped or peeling so that it doesn’t get taken out of your deposit as a penalty.

Don’t: Sign a contract without going over the small details

Different accommodation offers different packages – make sure you know exactly what is being offered to you. Are there any hidden extras, such as WIFI and Utility bills? Add these into your budget to make sure you are being as realistic as possible with what you can afford. Make sure to check the start date and end date on any contract.

Wands at the ready, we're heading back to Hogwarts…

Past pupils and old enemies Draco Malfoy (Tom Felton) and Neville Longbottom (Matthew Lewis) recently met up in Los Angeles – and couldn't help but joke about their Harry Potter alter-ego's. 

Tom put up a snap on Instagram of himself, holding a Slytherin backpack, and Matthew, with the caption, ''see how close he was to converting…. @mattdavelewis #gryffindork.''

Matthew was sticking to his Gryffindor roots however, when he put up a similar shot, captioned, ''take your Slytherin paws off me, you damn dirty ape! @t22felton.''

 

See how close he was to converting…. @mattdavelewis #gryffindork

Looks like Tom's attempt at a Slytherin recruiting session didn't work out – but he might get another chance as this isn't the first time recently that former Hogwarts students have hung out. 

In April, Tom and Matthew posed for pictures with Emma Watson (Hermione Granger), with Tom posting them to social media, saying, ''school mates #hogwartsalumni."

Wonder how the trio would fare in the wizarding world – reckon the would be mates? 

 

School mates #hogwartsalumni

A post shared by Tom Felton (@t22felton) on

Fans understandably went wild on social media when the guys put up the pictures.

One wrote, ''Tom Felton carries a Slytherin bag with him. Everything is feeling right with the world again'' while others, who are clearly Slythrein fans, were teasing Matthew.

One wrote, ''come to the Slytherin side @mattdavelewis ,we have cookies'' followed by a snake emoji. 

Others, however,were just delighted to see the two former co-stars together. One simply said, ''this is the best photo I’ve seen all year.''

Now, can we have a full-cast reunion soon please?

Vogue Williams has finally given us a look at her romantic nuptials to Spencer Matthews in this week's Hello! magazine.

The couple tied the knot in a stunning ceremony in Scotland two moths ago and have now revealed exactly what happened on their big day.

The pair, who have been together since the early 2017, exchanged vows on the banks of the loch on Spenny's family’s 30,000-acre estate in June. 

The simple and intimate outdoor ceremony was attended by Spencer's brother James and his wife Pippa Middleton. 

 

The best day of my life @hellomaguk

A post shared by voguewilliams (@voguewilliams) on

Spencer dished to the magazine, "it has gone down by many as the best wedding they’ve ever been to.''

''It was a family affair in the middle of nowhere and it felt very secluded. We were surrounded by the people we love."

The 32-year-old bride, who was six months pregnant on the day, dressed her baby bump beautifully in an exquisite Paul Costello gown.

Spencer’s half-sister Nina Mackie, his brother-in-law James Middleton, and Vogue’s sister Amber, who was also maid of honour all gave readings during the ceremony. 

"At the time it was so wonderful but almost dreamlike. It took a little while to sink in, but I certainly feel married, settled, and happy," said 30-year-old Spencer. 

"Everything has fallen into place. As we’ve said before we are best friends, we love being together, so it does feel just perfect. We’re delighted. I can’t imagine life without Vogue at this point. People say, what’s changed? What’s different? But it’s just part of growing up, meeting your soul mate and moving on with life."

The couple are gearing up to welcome their first child in a few weeks.

Spencer has previously gushed that he and Vogue want a brood of four.

“Vogue and I want four kids so I think it’s nice for the eldest to be a boy, especially if our next is a girl. I like the idea of my daughter having an older brother to look out for her, especially if we still live in London and she wants someone to party with,” he said.

Congrats guys – we think Vogue made a beautiful bride.

Loose Women's Stacey Soloman has been sharing snaps from her holiday with her two kids on Instagram and they are amazing.

Why, you ask?

Because she's documenting her real body on the social media platform by putting up several pictures of her enjoying the sun, sans filter.

Currently on holidays with her two son's – Zachary, ten, and six-year-old Leighton, whom she had with previous partners, Stacey treated us to a few real pictures. 

On one snap, she wrote, ''no filter needed. Loving my extra fold over tummy lines this year, they look like a six pack wahoo! Winning! Happy hump day xxx.''

The photo was welcomed by many people, who praised Stacey for showing what real bodies look like.

One wrote, ''I love that you don't filter your photos and are just comfortable being yourself. You look amazing!''

Another photo revealed  that things aren't always as picture-perfect as they appear on social media.

She posted a picture of herself on a boat, wind blowing her hair,  and not a thigh-gap in sight.

 

Classic stand on the front of a boat pic! Smashed  it. they don’t call me Stacey Sexy Solomon for nothing

A post shared by Stacey Solomon (@staceysolomon) on

She captioned it, ''classic stand on the front of a boat pic! Smashed it. they don’t call me Stacey Sexy Solomon for nothing.''

People were quick to comment on how naturally gorgeous she looked, without any editing.

One comment said, ''simply gorgeous!! Love your pics and how you are so proud of your body. We all come in different shapes and sizes and should all be proud xx'' while another wrote, ''Stacey you are an inspiration to all woman no filters nothing the way everyone should be you look amazing.''

How refreshing is to see tummy rolls? Stacey is proper beach-body inspo.

Stranger Things fans listen UP: your wish for S3 might have just been granted.

The hit Netflix show is due to be back on our screens in summer 2019 (yes, we are raging about this.)

While the cast have been dropping bits and pieces of info about what to expect when we head back to Hawkins, it's been David Harbour who plays Chief Jum Hopper that has finally given us some juicy storylines that we can't wait to sink our teeth into.

It's obvious to anyone who watches the show that Hop and Joyce Byers( Winona Ryder) have some hot chemistry between them…we're talking a tangible fizz.

It was during a Q&A at an Emmy nomination celebration event on Friday however that David let slip a possible S3 spoiler. 

According to Variety, David said that, ''it's the summer of love in Hawkins, Indiana."

It sounds like while Eleven and Mike will be enjoying their blossoming teen romance, Hopper might not be on his own. 

"I mean Hopper has his own issues with love, but Hopper will probably be confronting some of those issues, yes," David said. 

Sounds like a Jopper hint to us!

David has always been a die-hard shipper of his and Winona's characters, so for him, this is what he's wanted since S1.

“There may be other people in the mix in this situation, but I think they’re built for each other and I would love to see them get together,” David revealed. 

“From the very beginning, I thought that these are two tortured, messed up, beautiful people who are like puzzle pieces that can’t stand each other but actually need each other.”

This is definitely not the first time David has shared his thoughts on the will-they-won't-they romance between Joyce and Hopper. 

David bashfully explained his best scenes on S2 when he said, "there will be nights on set at three or four in the morning where Winona Ryder will be telling these stories and I will have this experience where I look at her and I’m feeling so jazzed about my life. And I feel like I’m in love with her – it’s a beautiful thing."

If that isn't true love, we don't know what is. 

 

Listen kid, your mother looks so beautiful at the sag awards tonight…

A post shared by David Harbour (@dkharbour) on

Netflix released a teaser for S3 titled, ''Ahoy! Something is coming… to Hawkins, Indiana!', showing the new Starcourt Mall, equipped with fan fave Steve Harrington and newcomer Robin (Maya Thurman-Hawke) at their jobs in Scoops Ice Cream Parlour. 

It's nt enough for us superfans out there so David, if you're reading this, please don't stop with the spoilers, ok?

We are HERE for them. 

And Jopper, obvs.

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel are one of Hollywood most gorgeous couples so it makes sense that their young son, Silas, is absolutely adorable.

The pair, who have been together since January 2007 and married in October 2012, are parents to only Silas, who turned three in June.

The family recently visited the Louvre in Paris and Jessica revealed in an interview that he was just like every other kid there.

You guessed it…bored. 

According to Us Weekly, Jessica spoke about it when she was on Late Night with Seth Meyers, saying that she had taken the toddler there during Justin's world tour. 

 

If that pic doesn't say ‘City Of Love’ then I'm out…

A post shared by Justin Timberlake (@justintimberlake) on

"We're at the Louvre, and we're looking through all of the most incredible old painters and the paintings," Jessica said. 

"I'm like 'Look, look! This is important!'"

Silas, however, was less than impressed and as Jessica explained, more interested in his iPad than looking at priceless pieces of art. 

While her son might not be fascinated by art, Jessica mentioned that other parts of their trip to the City of Lights appealed to him. 

"He now knows what the Eiffel Tower is and that's something that he loves. He wouldn't have these experiences if we weren't able to just get out there and go for it."

The cute snap of Jessica and Silas in Paris was captioned, ''if that pic doesn't say ‘City Of Love’ then I'm out…''

The picture got an outpouring of comments from fans gushing about how gorgeous Silas' curls were to how fast the toddler years go by.

One wrote, ''he is adorable. These moments fly by too fast! Love this pic. Beautiful'' while another said, ''this baby’s hair is more glamorous than mine so I’m jealous. I love this sweet pic! Hold on to him tight and cherish these moments.''

We couldn't agree more – what a sweet family!

It is us or does payday feel like ages away?

When you have spent all your money on rent/G&T/clothes/holidays, it can become a bit tricky to keep feeding yourself with healthy and tasty food. But don't worry, we have a few tricks that can be of great help.

Firstly, think of all the food you already have in your cupboard, fridge or freezer and make the most of it. You can try and be creative but also go for some classic that never disappoint. To this day, pasta with tomato sauce remains a true favourite and only cost a fraction of a tenner.

Another way to avoid spending too much on food is to reduce the amount of meat and fresh fish you cook. Pulses and eggs are great sources of proteins and nutrients and cost very little. Don't forget about the trusted spuds, pasta and rice, which are so versatile and nutritious.

To help you find inspiration and cook on a budget, we have gathered some cheap and yummy recipes.

 1. Tuna and sweetcorn cakes

2. Crispy bacon and tomato spaghetti

3. Spicy falafels

4. Lemon and pea risotto

5. Potato salad with Dijon mustard and dill

6. Turkey pasta salad

7. Spanish tortilla

8. Poutine

9. Spicy black bean fajitas

First off, no this article isn't from 1996 – The Backstreet Boys were set to play a gig last night.

Unforch, severe weather conditions caused a structure to collapse, injuring fourteen concert-goers.

Luckily, the fans were treated by emergency personnel and then taken to local hospitals.

According to Billboard, group member Kevin Richardson revealed in a tweet what had happened as that the band were set to perform at the outdoor pavilion at WinStar World Casino and Resort in Thackerville. 

"Hey folks! Severe weather, high winds and rain just passed thru here in Thackerville, OK. Emergency crews are on the scene as tent collapsed and some folks who were seeking shelter were injured. Waiting to determine damage to our stage and production," he wrote.

Fellow band member Nick Carter also tweeted, ''waiting and praying for our fans that were injured. If we can perform we're ready to go. But safety is first."

According to KOCO-TV, the incident occurred around 5:30 p.m. local time and people were evacuated due to an oncoming storm. 

However, the fan injuries occurred when "something happened inside" the pavilion. 

WinStar said in a statement released to ET that, ''all patrons in the area were asked to move and to seek shelter from the storm. However, about 150 patrons who were standing in line for the Backstreet Boys concert did not heed staff's warning … the storm hit and knocked over the concert entrance trusses with 70-80 mile an hour winds and heavy rain. 14 people were treated at the scene and then transported to local hospitals. Two have already been released."

Dallas reporter Allison Harris of Dallas shared a video tweeted to her from someone at the concert from "right after it fell. Several people hurt including a young girl. Several fans spring to action including former army nurse who’s husband was hurt."

She also tweeted, "friend at the Backstreet Boys concert at Winstar Casino says an awning fell on people. She estimates 10 ambulances responded, paramedics took people out on stretchers."

Kevin later confirmed that the show would not be going ahead but he promised, ''keep your tickets because, Backstreet WILL BE BACK!''

Backstreet will be back, alright?
