The world is now aware of Kanye West’s phone password, and it wouldn’t take a genius to hack this one.

In case you weren't aware, Kanye West has inadvertently revealed during a meeting in the Oval Office with Donald Trump that his phone password is…

Wait for it…

000000.

Yep, you read that right.

A global musician with cameras on him at all times has possibly used the weakest lock code of all time. “OF ALL TIME!” as he once shouted at Beyoncé from the 2009 VMA stage.

If anyone can name a more dense password code, please let us know.

He was in a meeting with a political figure who literally has nuclear codes, but his penchant for privacy clearly doesn't parallel with the US Oval Office.

Not that Trump is a model of privacy, he seems to want the entire globe to know his thoughts at all times on Twitter.

Nevertheless, West’s password is the least of his controversial troubles right now.

He met with the President to discuss “male energy”, prison reform and technology, suggesting that he admires Trump's obsession with masculinity in order to feel strong himself.

Maybe he wants his phone to get hacked, so people can read all of his monologues to himself hidden in the notes section of his precious iPhone X?

West pulled out his phone while elaborating on his political ideas to Donald Trump, repeatedly claiming to agree with him on the topic of America’s greatness.

His Make America Great Again hat caused a stir, as per usual.

West continued with his empowered speech, saying that the President’s public perception affects the entire world: “If he don’t look good, we don’t look good.”

Therefore Trump “has to be the freshest, the flyest… the flyest planes, the best factories.” It’s unclear whether West will propose a new iFactory, too. We’re going to have Apple — an American company — work on this plane.”

If anyone else has this password, we recommend you change it, for your own sake.

Especially if dozens of TV cameras are on you in the most important office in the world.

Sarah Ferguson arrived at St George's Chapel to witness her youngest daughter Princess Eugenie marry her fiancé and long-time boyfriend Jack Brooksbank.

Wearing an emerald green dress which show-cased her glamour, the Duchess of York donned an amusing green hat as she climbed the chapel stairs. The dress was made by local Ascot dress maker Emma Louise Design.

It seems to be the hat that’s gaining more attention than the dress, for once. It would be more suited to Hogwarts than Windsor Castle tbh.

It’s resemblance to the famous golden snitch from the Harry Potter Quidditch franchise has not gone amiss:

The hat was nearly blown away in the wind as she attended the wedding, but the wings probably would have carried it to safety, or else strategically landed on Princess Eugenie’s head to get the best view of the wedding.

Who knows, maybe two teams of Quidditch players would have chased it around the grounds on broomsticks?

Ferguson may even be showing her Harry Potter house colours, who would have thought she’d be Team Slytherin?

The mother of the bride was joined by eldest daughter and maid of honour Princess Beatrice, who wore blue.

Sources are insinuating that Beatrice is Team Ravenclaw. If she is the seeker she's in a great position to get the snitch, that's for sure…

Princess Beatrice, elder sister and Maid of Honour to Princess Eugenie, has broken a slight tradition with her outfit for the royal wedding and opted for an outfit of colour, after some experts expected her to wear a more pastel colour in line with the bride, as Pippa Middleton did to sister Kate's marriage to Prince William. And she also opted to arrive with her mother, rather than the bride as was expected. 

She arrived at St. George's Chapel in Windsor alongside her mother, Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, wearing a boatneck-style Ralph & Russo dress, which was a vibrant royal blue. It was accompanied by a simple purple fascinator.

Eugenie's wedding dress code was quite strict (men had to wear morning coats and women day dresses), and Beatrice followed the rules to a T by perfectly matching her fascinator to her dress (as the royals do) and a pair of heels. Her style for the day, was fittingly, more demure than on previous occasions so that her sister would take centre stage. 

A Maid of Honour isn't quite as big a tradition in Britain as it is here or in the US, but the royal family confirmed that Beatrice would take the role by sharing a sweet family snap of the two sisters on social media.

The elder sibling was also notably there as a support to her mother, who though no longer officially in the royal family, naturally played a key part in the wedding. Despite the Duke and Duchess or York separating many years ago, they still live together and are frequently seen out at public events supporting both their daughters.

The big day has finally arrived for the Royals, and the bride has made her appearance. 

Princess Eugenie made her entrance at St. George’s Chapel looking incredible in a Peter Pilotto gown.

The dress was designed by both Peter Pilotto and Christopher de Vos, and it has buckled the minimalist trend that other Royals have opted for. 

Eugenie is wearing the stunning Greville Emerald Kokoshnik tiara, also known as the Boucheron tiara.

The gorgeous piece of jewellery once belonged to the Queen Mother, who was left it by Mrs Greville. 

The 28-year-old opted for her hair to be in an up style by Sonny-Jo Macfarlane at Hari’s and make-up by Bobbi Brown’s Hannah Martin.

Eugenie accessorised her look by matching the tiara with emerald earrings. 

The diamond drop earrings are a gift from the groom, Jack Brooksbank.

Eugenie’s wedding shoes are by Charlotte Olympia and she carried a bouquet by Patrice van Hellen Oakes. 

The off-the-shoulder, Peter Pilotto gown beautifully honours her battle with scoliosis.

The princess underwent surgery at age 12 for the spinal condition and she bravely chose to embrace her scars on her big day.

Jack and Eugenie are now officially man and wife.

It's time to buy hand sanitiser and disinfect wipes in bulk.

It turns out many of your work colleagues, friends and family have forgotten what their mama taught them at age three.

Three-quarters of us are failing to wash our hands properly, according to the results from a survey by Initial.

Now before you go waging a war on germs, there are only certain ones that aren't our friends.

There's an important reason why your mam would stand over you and make sure you got every inch of your hands nicely lathered – bacteria. 

The survey showed that a staggering 95 percent of the 264 participates did not spend long enough washing their hands to fully remove those little germy fellas. 

The excuses offered up was poor hand-washing practices (sorry, mammy), being in a hurry, and another fifth said they refused to sud up in a dirty bathroom – which is fair.

And the results show that people aren't loving soap – in fact, only 60 percent occasionally use it when getting those hands clean.

It's the lads that are the biggest offenders, with two third of them never using soap or very rarely, compared with 36 percent of women – Gross.

Something you mightn't have known, according to the experts, cold water is far less effective in removing oils and germs – so get ready to scald the hands off yourself in the name of hygiene.

Getting into the nitty-gritty, the hand washing pros say we NEED to spend over 20 seconds giving them a good scrubbin'.

But only 5.3 percent of those surveyed actually did this…could you only imagine how much bacteria is sitting on your phone after you give your hands a quick rinse and run? – Puke bucket, please. 

And moving to manners, before we inhale our food, only a tiny 23 percent wash up before every meal.

And three-quarters of us sinners, only wash their paws occasionally before a meal – like Christmas.

So the next time you go to shake someone's hand, just keep this information in mind.

And remember it for the next time a co-worker asks to borrow your stuff or hands you something to you – the horror. 

The expert advice to all you disgusting people is to wash your hands AT LEAST six times a day –  in particular before every meal and after using the bathroom. 

20 seconds is the golden rule with warm water and get every inch of the hand – I'm talking to you boys. 

I can hear the collective mammy's sighing around the country as they've attempted to teach us this basic life hack for YEARS.

100 Women I Know is movement which began with a questionnaire which asked women to share any experiences of rape and sexual assault.

92 out of the 100 Women asked in a survey said they had been pressured or forced into sexual activity.

The shocking results were hugely emotional, blunt and upsetting.

They also detail the harsh realities which women face every single day, yet sexual violence is so prevalent that women have been effectively silenced on the issue until recent times.

These experiences which were generously and bravely shared led Phoebe Montague, founder of the project, to direct and produce an award-winning short documentary film which focused on four intimate interviews.

Break the Habit Press decided to publish the book, and a movement to strengthen solidarity between survivors of assault was born.

It is imperative that sexual violence is addressed as a social issue, one which needs to be stopped at all costs.

Jazmin, one of the women featured in the documentary, has decided to collaborate with Phoebe in launching their sister organisation People We Know.

The organisation aims to provide an educational programme which attempts to prevent young people from becoming victims or perpetrators of sexual violence.

By planning much needed workshops for schools and communities, these transformative activities are designed to educate and engage young people on the difficult topic.

The participants will hopefully feel encouraged to reconsider their preconceived notions, judgments and misconceptions surrounding consensual sex, healthy relationships and sexual violence.

Young people are the future and it is our responsibility, as a society, to empower them with tools for change.

100 Women I Know on Instagram shared a disturbing statistic on World Suicide prevention day: 1 in 10 victims attempted suicide as a result of sexual violence.

The Instagram page also wrote a statement paralleling the image, detailing how sexual violence and suicide go hand in hand far more often than previously thought.

“63% of victims suffered mental or emotional problems as a result of sexual violence. 53% reported having problems trusting people or having difficulty in other relationships. 1 in 10 victims attempted suicide as a result.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A study by the Office for National Statistics found that 63% of sexual violence victims suffered mental or emotional problems. 53% reported having problems trusting people or having difficulty in other relationships. 1 in 10 victims attempted suicide as a result. – Yesterday was World Suicide Prevention day, yet suicide affects people’s lives every day, globally. – Sexual violence is just one of the many reasons people attempt or die by suicide. Deciding to take ones life is never an easy option, let this day be a reminder to us all to live our lives with compassion. – Male suicide is the biggest killer of men under 45 in the UK. We have a massive issue surrounding lack of communication and emotional connection worldwide. Check in with your loved ones; the “weak” and the “strong”, be kind to strangers; you never know what battles someone is fighting. – Reaching out to ask for help is never easy, if you don’t have anyone to speak to directly, there are services available to help. Don’t feel ashamed by your circumstances or embarrassed at your inability to cope, you are certainly not alone. – Please call 116 112 now for UK Samaritans. @samaritanscharity – – – – #MentalHealth #worldsuicidepreventionday #SuicideAwareness #SexualViolence #Abuse #Survivors #StrongerTogether #ReachingOut #Compassion #Love #PeopleWeKnow #100WomenIKnow #MoreThan100Womem

One thing is certain: Changes in our society must be made if we ever want women to feel safe, and their voices need to be heard.

Magic makeup bags are definitely one of the best inventions to come out of the beauty industry this year. 

It's a fairly nifty little contraption – a makeup bag that uses a drawstring to contain all of your makeup while also giving you the freedom to open the bag up wide and see all your bits. 

There's nothing worse than scrabbling around the bottom of  your makeup bag looking for your eyelash glue or pot of concealer, and these magic bags rectify that issue. 

As always, Penneys is ahead of the curve and has hopped on the trend. 

As pointed out by a particular former blogger gossip page, the bags can be purchased from wholesalers, but that process involves ordering the bags in from far-flung countries which take months to arrive, or, you can get them from overprices beauty boutiques.

To be frank, the Penneys version is much higher quality and equally as affordable. 

The bags come in at a steal, for just €4.00. 

Ideal for travelling or gals with a lot of makeup who like to see it all clearly and in the one place, the bags are dead handy.  

They're the perfect stocking filler for the beauty junkie in your life, and we know it's ages until Christmas, but we advise snapping one up soon before they fly off the shelves.

Disney has warmed our hearts on this dreary Friday morning by sharing the first teaser trailer of Aladdin. We have been dying to get a glimpse at the live-action movie.

The haunting teaser trailer opens with a shot of a desolate Agrabah as Jafar’s sidekick Iago flies through the sky.

We are then taken to the famous Cave of Wonders, where the iconic tiger mutters: “Only one may enter here… one whose worth lies far within… the diamond in the rough.”

Aladdin enters the Cave of Wonders as Jafar stands outside, waiting for his treasure.

The final shot sees Aladdin lift up the famous lamp.

The orchestral version of Never Had a Friend Like Me hauntingly plays at the end of the trailer and we are eager to hear the full soundtrack.

The rumour mill buzzed when Channing Tatum was recently spotted on a date with a well known British pop star.

Six months after his split with his wife Jenna Dewan, the actor is reportedly dating Jessie J.

However, they are just keeping it casual at the minute and seeing where things go.

Channing’s ex recently commented on the dating news and reacted with maturity and grace in her response.

“Jenna knew that Channing was dating and it wasn't a surprise," a source told E! News. "A friend had told her what was going on."

The Step Up star was already aware that Channing is dating, and there are rumours that she has moved on herself.

“She doesn't really care what Channing does as long as he's being there for [their daughter] Everly. Jenna's dating too, and they are both moving on with their lives."

It appears that Jenna is unscathed by her former partner’s dating life. Both of the actors’ number one priority has always been their little girl.

When announcing their break up in April, the parents revealed it was a mutual decision. Both felt they would always be close friends, but it was time for them to go their separate ways.

“We are still a family and will always be loving dedicated parents to Everly.”

Channing and Jenna both seem happy with where they are at right now.

And it looks like we will have to wait and see if the 21 Jumpstreet star’s new relationship develops into something more serious.

With whispers around the internet of cult beauty brand The Ordinary possibly closing down, we’ve decided to round up a list of The Ordinary’s best products to nab before it leaves us forever.

Renowned for its accessibility and affordability, the relatively new brand has recently found itself in the media for all the wrong reasons, after the founder Brandon Truaxe had a MAJOR Instagram rant.

Alleged major criminal activity has resulted in reported shutdown for the company, with Truaxe claiming that The Ordinary will close effective immediately.

The Ordinary works to educate their customers on the presence of every ingredient involved in skincare by naming them after the core component, so the company completely evaporates any sense of transparency.

There are no tricks, false advertising or flowery language usages involved, just honest products, and cheap prices.

Founder Brandon Truaxe explains on the company’s website that “The Ordinary exists to communicate with integrity and bring to market effective, more familiar technologies at honourable prices."
