Having eaten our way through the festive season, our thoughts reluctantly turn to 2016 and the uphill diet struggle that lies ahead.

Of course, there's always a plus side – the one here being that, no matter what happens, we'll never have to survive on water and cayenne pepper like poor Beyoncé.

Celebrities have gone to some fairly extreme lengths to achieve their red-carpet worthy bodies – it seems having iron-cast willpower is a prerequisite for an A-lister.

Here's a look at some of the more bizarre celebrity eating regimes…

The Master Cleanse
What it is: Lemon juice, maple syrup, cayenne pepper and water are mixed into a special drink, of which almost two litres must be consumed every day. This is combined with a special laxative tea to keep things moving. 

Celeb fans: Beyoncé famously used this diet to shed the pounds for her role in Dreamgirls, and again before her appearance at the 20015 Met Gala.

 

The Baby Food Diet
What it is: One of more meals a day is substituted for baby food, which in theory seems like it could be a good idea. After all, food intended for babies is probably super-healthy, right? Yes, but it's also devoid of taste and texture.

Celeb fans: Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon have reportedly given this faddy diet a go.

 

The M-Plan
What it is: One meal a day is swapped for a mushroom-based substitute, apparently helping you to lose excess weight around your tummy, thighs, upper arms and bottom, while maintaining your curves.

Celeb fans: Katy Perry and Kelly Osbourne are both M-Plan fans.

 

The Alkaline Diet
What it is: Alkaline dieters avoid acid-producing foods that can cause the body to stress out. Recipes on the alkaline programme are mainly based on fresh fruit and vegetables, while coffee, junk food, sugar, salt and alcohol are major no-no's.

Celeb fans: Victoria Beckham reportedly swears by this eating plan.

 

The Blood Type Diet
What it is: This diet, created by naturopath Peter D'Adamo, is based on the suggestion that particular foods have different chemical reactions depending on our blood type. For example, those with Type A blood should avoid meat altogether, while Type B can eat certain meats.

Celeb fans: Miranda Kerr (a Type A, doncha know) follows this regime to keep her catwalk queen figure in check.

We love when celebrities decide to get up and have some fun in public, so it's no wonder we love Lip Sync Battle

Ah the humble photobomb. 

One moment of comedic spontaneity captured on film for us to all laugh at forever

Photobombs are hilarious at the best of times and an unintentional photobomb is even better, but we never get tired of seeing our fave celebrities deciding to photobomb eachother.

That stuff is priceless. 

So here we have the definitive ranking of the best celebrity photobombs of the entire year. 

8. Hilary Clinton gets photobombed by Kim and Kanye

There was no way that Kim Kardashian was going to continue living without a selfie with the next potential leader of the free world. 

And there was no way that Kanye was not going to photobomb it. 

7. Naomi Campbell and Fifty Cent get photobombed by Leonardo di Caprio

This endlessly enjoyable snap could have just been photobombed by a very creepy looking and hairy stranger but this pic is infinitely funnier because it's Leonardo di Caprio. 

6. Diane Kruger gets photobombed by Jared Leto

"Who is this blazen-haired, satin-wearing stranger destroying my carefully crafted pap shots? 

"Oh. it's just you Jared. Carry on."

5. Blake Lively and Taylor Swift get photobombed by a kangaroo 

Winner of the cutest photobomb ever by a country mile. 

4. Jennifer Lopez gets photobombed by Jennifer Aniston 

Because sometimes you have to destroy that too perfect selfie. 

3. The entire cast of Game of Thrones gets photobombed by Amy Schumer 

This just gives us life. 

2. Beyonce and Jay-Z get photobombed by a slice of pizza 

What is that even doing there? 

1. Kim and Kanye gets photobombed by Amy Schumer 

We think this photobomb will go down in history. 

No one can steal Amy's thunder, NO ONE.

A year ago a partnership between Beyonce and Topshop was announced, and we all got a bit excited.

Today it has been confirmed that the joint sports and streetwear venture will launch in April 2016. 

Queen B and the high street giant have created Parkwood Topshop Athletic Ltd. The label is set to produce clothing, footwear and accessories across dance, fitness and sports categories, with collections aiming to be stylish and functional, offering technical performance.

According to WWD, the label for:

“Women who go to yoga or the health club, as well as those who just want to look as if they do”. 

YES!

This is Topshop’s first shared venture into the athleisure world, and Beyonce’s first partnership with the label. It is not her first venture into fashion however, Bey already owns a clothing brand called House of Deron.

Sir Philip Green said about the partnership: "We have been looking at this category as fashion inspired fitness develops, and know that this is right in our customers' heartland.  

"Creating a partnership with Beyoncé, one of the most hard-working and talented people in the world, who spends many hours of her life dancing, rehearsing and training is a unique opportunity to develop this category." 

The range will reportedly be sold in 20 counties and the venture will be part of the Arcadia group, which also owns Dorothy Perkins and Miss Selfridge chains.

It might just a little bit early to say it- but we really cannot wait for 2016!

So, have you ever wondered how you would react if you actually got to meet Beyoncé?

We reckon there could be tears, she is a pretty big deal after all. When you add Jay-Z to the scenario then you’re even more likely to be rendered star struck and speechless. 

To be honest, we get a little bit uncomfortable just imagining the awkward moment that would undoubtedly unfold because no one is that cool. If you are then kudos to you but we reckon most of us would panic.

Which is exactly what happened to UFC champ Holly Holm. You would think the person that defeated the previous champ (and internet favourit) Ronda Rousey would keep it together.

Alas no one is safe from suffering mortification when confronted with the magical being that is Beyoncé. 

“I meet Jay Z and he says, ‘This is my wife,’ and I’m like, ‘Oh, hi, what’s your name?’ Because that’s what I do when I meet someone’s wife,” Holly explained to KRQE in Albuquerque.

“And as I’m shaking her hand, I’m thinking, ‘Why did I just say that? Why did I just say that to Beyoncé?’”

Holly was a VIP viewing party for a boxing match when she and her husband got the chance to rub shoulders with the mega-stars. 

“I can’t even focus on what he’s saying because I just put my foot in my mouth,” she explained. 

“I literally have to interrupt him. I’m like, ‘I’m really sorry,’ and I go back to Beyoncé and I’m like, ‘I can’t believe I just did that.’ She goes, ‘Oh no, it’s fine.’ I’m like, ‘No, I really, really…it’s such an honour to meet you.’”

Awks. It happens to the best of us Holly, don’t even worry about it gal.

Kevin Federline was kinda famous for a while… we suppose.

He was the notorious back-up dancer that married Britney back in 2007, and even though he is the father to Brit's sons, he hasn't been really relevant on the celeb scene in a good few years. 

So when he started to bash the Queen of music, Beyoncé, Twitter went into total meltdown. 

Over the weekend, K-Fed replied to a tweet about Bey's boobs, which made an appearance at Britney's Las Vegas show: 

But the back-up dancer didn't stop there. He then went on to make an observation about her face (as if the boob tweet wasn't silly enough):

If anything, "sawface" reminds you of the most terrifying movie, Saw. And the last time we checked, Beyoncé probably has one of the most beautiful faces on the planet (am I right?). 

But of course, Kevin's tweets didn't go unnoticed and Beyoncé's fan completely shut him down:

That'll be the last time you publicly shame a women Kev.

Britney Spears's Piece of Me Las Vegas show is known to snap up a few famous faces but last nights attendees had the whole Internet freaking out.

Yes, everyone's favourite power couple came out to support everyone's favourite pop princess for her most recent Sin City performance. 

And of course the Britney and Queen Bey fans took to social media to share their excitement about Hollywood's royal couple being in attendance (Bey is wearing the black hat):

Well, we don't know if this has ever been done before, but we're sure Blue Ivy is used to the recording studio since her mother is Queen Bey, right?! 

Chris Martin has a very special guest on his new album, which will be released on December 4. Three-year-old Blue Ivy is collaborating with Coldplay on their song, A Head Full Of Dreams. How a three-year-old can collaborate, we don't know, but baby Blue isn't the only unexpected guest to sing on the new track. 

Chris has also asked Gwyneth Paltrow, his ex-wife, to sing alongside Blue. What a combination, huh?!

The band have already revealed that artists such as Noel Gallagher, Beyoncé and Tove Lo are featuring in the new album, but we just didn't expect Gwyneth and Blue.

“Everyone who got asked to sing on our album has an important part in our lives,” Chris explained to The Wall Street Journal.

“I don’t want to get too hippie, but what I’m trying to learn in my life is the value of every human. Inclusiveness is the key thing.” 

OK, Chris, whatever you say!

Finding an outfit for a wedding is never going to be easy.

However, if you are Beyoncé then you apparently don’t have to play by the rules and can where whatever it is that you want. Lucky Beyoncé. She obviously wasn’t afraid of offending anyone last weekend when she rocked up at a pal’s wedding in an all-white outfit. 

As one would expect, she looked amazing.

She uploaded some snaps from the event to her Instagram account and we do love her wrap dress with gold detail on the trim. Flawless. However, is it acceptable to wear white to a wedding if you are not Beyoncé?  

The answer is yes if you are Blue Ivy. Who broke our hearts with her pretty white tulle dress with matching ballerina flats. Very cute. 

This is definitely not the first time Bey and Blue have gone for matching outfits. Unsurprising considering Bey spent many years in the most co-ordinated girl band of all time: Destiny’s Child. 

They even allowed Jay to join their fashion fun at Halloween when they took costume inspiration from Eddie Murphy’s Coming to America film. 

There was also the occasion where they both accessorised like true festival queens. 

Oh, and the time they both appeared in Vogue

Balmain jackets, custom-made Yeezys, Dior dresses… North West and Blue Ivy Carter are most definitely two of the best dressed toddlers in the world.

The pair regularly appear on social media alongside their famous mums – Kim Kardashian-West and Beyoncé Carter-Knowles – and we've often had a hard time deciding who is cuter.

For the moment though, Blue Ivy has taken the lead, thanks to a downright adorable snap which Bey shared online yesterday.

The singer updated her website with some unseen Halloween snaps, including one of three-year-old Blue looking picture perfect in a purple dress.

The outfit, based on Rapunzel's look from the Disney film Tangled, featured two long braids attached to Blue's head with a hairband. The famous tot looked delighted as she walked through a garden in her bare feet.

In standard Beyoncé style, there was a costume change of course, as Rapunzel wasn't Blue's only Halloween look.

As previously reported, the superstar family dressed up as the cast of Coming To America last week, with Blue donning a brown and gold silk dress for her Imani Izzi costume.

Eddie Murphy's cult comedy was released in 1988, so we highly doubt Blue got the movie reference, but the family certainly looked the part – Beyoncé and Jay-Z rocked matching costumes as Prince Akeem and Queen Aoleon.

Of course, Blue wasn't the only princess on the block this year – her style rival North did look pretty cute as Frozen's Elsa, we have to admit:

Let's face it, they're both undeniably adorable.

The internet is evidently a constant source of celebrity: bolstered by the likes of Instagram and Snapchat, we all now have a wealth of famous faces at our finger-tips.

But access to big names is a notoriously mixed bag.

Who would have thought, for example, that Rihanna and Beyonce are so happy to be photographed, while Blake Lively is somewhat more aloof?

That's not all that Big Apple-based paparazzo Miles Diggs, who runs 247Paps.TV with his business partner, Cesar Peña, revealed in conversation with the New York Post.

In fact, he laid bare the celebs that he and his ilk love to snap… and the ones they definitely don't…

 

The stars paps love:

1) Taylor Swift: “The smartest businesswoman in the business.” Her bodyguards arrange all the paps in a line outside her front door so everyone gets a clear shot when she enters and exits in immaculate outfits. “If you don’t get eye contact, your camera wasn’t working.”

2) Kim Kardashian: “She’s top of the food chain,” with even nonexclusive shots of Mrs West worth $300 to $1,000. Plus, she gets a majority cut of exclusive photos she sets up with photo agencies. “She’s trying to coach [half-sister] Kylie to give up photos more because the family needs somebody out there while she’s on maternity leave.”

3) Nicki Minaj: “When she’s feeling herself, she’s going to walk out and walk real slow, almost do a pose like a red carpet on the middle of the sidewalk.” Shots of Minaj wearing colored wigs and cartoon-style outfits are easier to sell.

4) Rihanna: A favorite. Friendly, always impeccably dressed and down to earth. She hangs out at restaurants and bars without security, and often into the wee hours. “She’s an eight-hour wait waiting to happen.”

5) Beyoncé: “She’s great if she wants to be shot and bad if she doesn’t.” Her bodyguard is known for having the longest arms around, perfect for blocking a shot Bey doesn’t want.

 

…And those they don’t:

1) Leonardo DiCaprio: “He hates being a celebrity.” He hides his face behind umbrellas or under beanies, berets, beards and sunglasses.

2) Scarlett Johansson: “She’s like a female Leo . . . She’s one of the best at spotting paparazzi. Her hand goes up, and she puts scarves in front of her.”

3) Alec Baldwin: The notoriously prickly actor has attacked and insulted paparazzi before, but Diggs and Peña say it always seems linked to an upcoming film, play or wedding. “Everything is timely with him. He’s a very calculating guy.”

4) Kristen Stewart: Used to bolt when cameras were near. “I’ve never seen a human being run as fast as Kristen Stewart.” But she wasn’t fast enough to escape the shot of her making out with married director Rupert Sanders, which ruined her relationship with Robert Pattinson (not to mention his marriage to Liberty Ross). She now has a publicist and is more willing to be photographed.

5) Blake Lively: “She pretends to be a sweetheart,” but Mrs Ryan Reynolds is notoriously hard to find, and if she knows a pap has snapped her, she’ll arrange her own photos and release them for free.
