Here we go again… 

Every year you tell yourself it'll be different this time around, every year you tell yourself you won't leave everything to the last minute.

Will we ever learn? 

Probably not, but hey, it wouldn't be Christmas without some last-minute mayhem, now would it? 

Here's a handy list of the best gifts that can be picked up in town this weekend:

Worrying new research has shone a light on the way employers view men and women in the workplace.

According to a YouGov survey for the Young Women’s Trust, bosses are up to five times more likely to lable their male employees as ambitious, when compared to their female counterparts.

Confused? Offended? Downright appalled? – Us too.

But it gets worse.

For the study, 800 employees with human resources decision- responsibilities were asked a series of questions about the gender differences in the workplace.

Results revealed that men were perceived as the confident of the sexes, while women were said to be more “conscientious” at work.

As well as that, one-in-three participants said they believed sexism exists in their workplace while one-in-eight admitted that they knew of sexual harassment that had gone unreported.

And as if all this wasn't bad enough, one-in-10 revealed they were aware of a gender pay gap at their company.

While none of these findings have us jumping for joy, we're calling BS on the ambitious thing – and we're not the only ones.

“Young women do not lack ambition but too often they are held back by employers who – knowingly or not – discriminate against them,” said Dr Carole Easton OBE, chief executive at Young Women’s Trust.

“It’s no wonder women are held back in the workplace when those making hiring decisions have such outdated views,” she added.

“It is employers and our economy that miss out on the talents of young women as a result. Young women who want to work are meanwhile struggling to make ends meet and finding themselves in debt.

“We need urgent action to improve young women’s prospects and give them hope for the future.”

Earlier this year, rapper Nelly protested his innocence after he was accused of raping a woman in his tour bus, just hours after leaving the stage.

The US star, real name Cornell Haynes, claimed he was a “victim of false allegation” in series of tweets following his arrest.

He was released without charge, and the case was later dropped after the victim refused to testify.

However, it has now been revealed that Nelly's accuser, 22-year-old Monique Greene, is suing the rapper for defamation and sexual assault.

In the lawsuit filed on Monday, Ms Greene’s lawyer, Karen Koehler, said: “Nelly has sought to restore his reputation due to his arrest for sexually assaulting Ms Greene by defaming her.”

She claims that on the night in question, Nelly invited her back to an after-party, which she attended before being driven to his tour bus.

Once inside, Ms Greene says the rapper led her to the bedroom where her assaulted her.

Nelly lawyer, Scott Rosenblum, says the musician plans to counter-sue, adding: “We always believed her accusation was motivated by greed.”
