Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez have been totally off-again, on-again of late, but it seems that they are now very much officially ON.

The pair have been in full selfie mode recently, with Justin posting this cozy snap of them both to his Shots account:

Now though, they’ve reportedly taken their relationship to the next level with a secret commitment ceremony in LA, according to Life & Style magazine. A friend of the stars said that the young couple even “exchanged Cartier promise rings.” 

The same source also revealed that “Justin has wanted to take Selena back to his native Canada and marry her.” Given that they’ve only been back together for about a month, this seems a touch too soon for us, but the heart wants what the heart wants!

Justin’s apparently been on his best behaviour of late, with sources saying Selena is “finally being treated the way she always wanted him to treat her … like a princess.”

We hope it lasts!

Sweat is a totally natural bodily process, but we do admit it can be more than a bit annoying. It’s one thing to sweat heavily while you’re out for a jog or in the middle of a hot yoga class, but it’s quite another to be “glowing” excessively during a job interview or a first date.

Whether you want to reduce your levels of underarm sweat or keep those wet patches hidden, here are some of our tips to keep you cool, calm and collected!

1. Choose your clothes wisely
Synthetic fabrics and clingly clothes are far more likely to get you sweating. Choose lightweight cotton fabrics that are relatively loose around the underarm area. Dark colours also hide sweat well so they’re a wise choice too if you want to keep embarrassment at bay!

2. Make the most of your deodorant
High-power deodorants can take a while to start working as their active ingredients have to work their way into the sweat duct. Many deodorants are more effective if applied the night before rather than first thing in the morning.

3. Avoid spicy foods
Curry spices, as well as onions and garlic, can all increases levels of sweating. Avoid that spicy vindaloo the night before your next job interview and go for something that’s a little less taxing on your system!

4. Arm your underarms!
If sweating is something you’d rather not worry about at all, why not try an absorbency pad? MONDSS Underarm Wear is an Irish-designed product that’s a really discreet solution to underarm sweating. The pads adhere easily to your skin and prevent perspiration from soaking through onto your clothes. At only €9.99 for a pack of ten, they're great value too. Order them online at www.mondss.com!

We don’t know how actors film sex scenes. We really don’t. Talk about the most awkward thing EVER! And Rosamund Pike sounds like she’s not a fan of them either!

The actress opened up about filming sex scenes for Gone Girl with Neil in a recent interview, and it sounds pretty cringe worthy!

“It was very funny doing [rehearsals for our sex] scene. David [Fincher] left Neil and me alone on that set for like two hours to make sure we could do it. But when it’s just two of you, basically kind of f**king on a bed, it feels so inappropriate.”

‘Inappropriate’ sounds like an understatement to us! Rosamund’s character was pretty busy with all the men in the film – as she said that getting intimate with her onscreen husband Ben Affleck wasn’t always easy either, as the two had such a strange relationship:

“Ben and I would have these scenes that were very giggly and sort of romantic, and then we'd go to this very dark place… I tried to get us out of that. Neil was incredible at that. We were in hysterics in the editing room.”

We are pretty excited about this film here in SHEmazing! – only a few more weeks to wait – it’s released the first week in October! Yay!

Whether you’re looking to spice up your relationship or just make things a bit more interesting, here are the sex essentials! (After another person, obviously).

1. The Karma Sutra

Get that old time book out and get ready to work it.

2. Sexy Soundtrack

A soundtrack to your sexy night is essential. Otherwise, you may get the giggle when that diarrhoea ad comes on TV.

3. Porn

Not for everyone, but if you’re not into visualisation, why not try reading a sexy novel?

4. Lube

It’s slippery and fun, what’s not to love?!

5. Lingerie

It’s not easy being a girl – until it comes to sex, that is – and all we have to do is throw on some sexy lingerie to capture your attention. Lace? Great. Red? Fantastic. Suspenders? Oh stop…

6. Candles/A Dim Lamp

In essentially every single sex scene to ever make it onto film, there are no bright, unflattering lights under which your cellulite will be shining bright or your face glowing puce. No, instead you have candles, dim lights and a red orange glow.Take a little inspiration and dim your lights tonight, because there’s nothing sexy about observing your partners skin condition under the glow of what could also be mistaken for a surgery lamp.

7. Sex Toys

Never fear, we’re not in any shape or form suggesting that you’re bad at sex. We’d never say such a thing, in fact. However, take some good sex, add a vibrator or some other form of battery operated plaything to the mix and you have yourself a recipe for success. It’s going to do nothing but benefit you both, keep you both excited, plus add some new sensations and areas of interest into the mix. Winning. If you don’t know where to look for and don’t want to go to a local shop then check Eden Fantasys. They have all kinds of sex toy and essentials you need to make your sex life better. Don’t forget to use Eden Fantasys coupon codes to save some money on your purchase. Check it out and thank me later.

8. Contraception

Sorry to end this whole thing on a massive downer, but safe sex is better sex. Nobody wants to come away from sex with anything other than a smile on their face. Unless you’re in a loving committed relationship and you’re trying for a baby, then by all means, get to it!

Do you stare in the mirror imagining your face with straighter teeth, a different nose, clearer skin? Well, stop. It’s time we learned to love our imperfections, and here’s why:

They make us human
Nobody is perfect. Trust us. We bet even Cheryl Cole is hiding something – possibly under that massive rose tattoo. Imperfections are what make us human – would you really want to be walking around like a Barbie doll? Quite frankly, that’s just creepy.

They make us unique
So what if you’re the only one in your group of friends with a five finger forehead? Do you really want to be a carbon copy of your friends? Learn to work your imperfections – they’re what make you, you!

They connect us to our family!
Do people know you’re an O’Brien because of the bump in your nose? Would you really want to get rid of that distinctive feature? Plus, it’s nice to resemble your family – it makes us feel more part of a group!

Because striving for perfection is a waste
Perfection is impossible, so even if you straighten your teeth, dye your hair and lose that excess weight, you’ll probably still find things you want to change. You’re better off investing in your confidence instead – it’ll last longer, and be more beneficial!

Because what you think is an imperfection, could be someone else’s favourite thing about you.
Hate your legs? Or your hair? Well, that could be the very thing that someone else loves you for. So give yourself a break ok? It’s time to love yourself, warts and all!

Lauren Goodger broke down on Celebrity Big Brother last night claiming she is not over her ex-boyfriend.

Lauren dated TOWIE co-star, Mark Wright for eleven years until they split in 2011. Mark is now engaged to Michelle Keegan and they are thought to be getting married very soon.

We’re hoping that it wasn’t Mark that Lauren is pining after, but a more recent ex, Jack McLean.

Also, it is well known that Lauren has been hit with a gagging order banning her from speaking about Mark. 

The TOWIE actress cried to CBB co-star Edele Lynch, saying: “I’m not over my ex. I try to convince myself that I am over him but I’m not. I know he has a bad track record but he ain’t that guy anymore. When he was in my life he would never let anyone say a bad word about me. But what have I done? I’ve fu**ed it up.”

The heartbroken admission comes after her in-house relationship with Geordie Shore’s Ricci has seemingly come to an end.

Jack and Lauren fell out when a sex-tape starring the TOWIE beauty was leaked online. Though Lauren did later say she wasn't certain he was the one behind the video's mysterious appearance online. 

Poor Lauren, it’s not easy mending a broken heart – no matter who caused it.

The internet went into overdrive yesterday when Apple publicly revealed the new iPhone 6, due to be released on September 19 in the USA, What really caught our attention, though, was the announcement that a new Apple Watch will go on sale early next year.

In true Apple style, the designs are sleek and minimalist, but we were pleasantly surprised at how stylish some of the varieties were. 

Aside from lots of high tech chrome and sporty rubber straps, the designers also revealed a "Watch Edition" line, with really sleek leather straps and gold or rose gold faces. Gorgeous! The gold is apparently 18-karat, so it won't come cheap. Prices for the basic version (no gold involved) start at $349, or €270. But just in case we win the Lotto between now and early 2015, here's what we'll be buying:

The watch is controlled using a "digital crown" – a button on the side of the watch face. 

So what can this watch do? Well, it can tell time, obviously – to within 50 milliseconds. Fancy. It can also monitor your daily activity and work out your optimal levels of exercise. And you'll be able to stay in touch with alerts, notifications, voice messaging capabilities and a new app called "Real Touch" which allows you to send a virtual touch via your wrist. 

Sounds cool – but we'll need to start saving ASAP!

Norwegian artist Marius Vibe decided to figure out once and for all what the most beautiful woman in the world looks like. To do this, he looked at the top eight women from Maxim’s 2011 Most Beautiful Girl List. He then photoshopped two faces together at a time:

Rosie Huntington-Whitely and Natalie Portman

Olivia Munn and Anne Hathaway

Bar Rafaeli and Katy Perry

Mila Kunis and Cameron Diaz

And then he merged the faces of Bar Rafaeli and Katy Perry with Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Natalie Portman:

THEN (this guy must have a lot of time on his hands!) he merged Anne and Olivia with Mila and Cameron:

At last, he mixed up these two faces together to create what he thinks could be the most beautiful woman in the world:

Verdict? She's pretty – no doubt – but the MOST beautiful? We're not too sure!

Gavin Rossdale has addressed the hurt a story ran by OK! magazine caused to him and his wife, Gwen Stefani.

The musician told Howard Stern how he was on holiday with his family in Sardinia when someone emailed him the story, which ran on the front cover and described it as “demoralising” saying: “It’s so mean-spirited.”

Gavin also said that having to tell Gwen about the story was painful and humiliating, saying: “there she is looking so beautiful, so happy.”

So it looks like these two are going nowhere anytime soon and we are so happy to hear it!

Gavin and Gwen were married in 2002 and have three sons together, Kingston, Zuma and Apollo while Gavin is also a dad to British model, Daisy Lowe.

Justin Bieber got booed at an event for New York Fashion Week on Tuesday so he did what anyone would do, put his head down and quietly walked out.

Ha, sure! Nope, he stripped on-stage to his boxers and stood there posing. Cringe.

He featured on-stage at the event with model Lara Stone and defended his actions, saying: “I don’t feel comfortable unless I’m in my Calvins. So, what’s up? Is that cool?”

Needless to say, Lara looked a little bit confused especially when he later asked her “Is that better?” to which she replied “So much, thank you Justin.”

Justin later posted an image of himself half dressed to his Instagram account writing: “Just stripped on national television hahahaha it wasn’t planned lmao.”

Something tells us your the only one who finds it funny, sorry Justin. Not sorry.

Come ON, Selena!
