When Lauren Conrad wasn't busy bemoaning the lack of 'real people' in Los Angeles, she was – as a student of the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising – up to her eyes in magazine clippings and fabric cuttings.

So, after making a name (and a fortune) for herself in the fashion industry, it's no real surprise that the former reality TV star still chooses to create her own Halloween costumes.

Teasing her fans and followers this week on Instagram, Lauren shared sneak peeks of the work in progress before unveiling the finished design on her website.

 

Made my Halloween costume today! As usual lots of tulle was involved.

Uploading a snap of the items involved, she wrote: "Made my Halloween costume today! As usual lots of tulle was involved."

Fans sent themselves into a frenzy guessing what she might be making, with general consensus concluding that she was opting for a ballerina.

Lauren kept schtum before sharing another snap which suggested her fan base were way off, writing: "Any guesses?! We’ll be revealing the full costume tomorrow, but until then, here’s a little sneak peek to give you a hint!"

 
"Mimes? Dolls? Maybe some Alice in Wonderland vibes?" wrote one while another added: "Deck of cards? Queen of hearts, joker?"

A pro at milking any situation, Lauren held her fans in suspense before eventually sharing a full-size snap of the costume.

And in fairness, it's pretty cute.

"Well, ladies and gentlemen, the wait is over!" wrote Lauren. "This year, my girlfriends and I are dressing up for Halloween as (drumroll, please)… Circus performers!"

"I came up with this idea a few months ago when I saw this sequin star dress from Valentino’s Star Studded collection. I had a vision of putting a pastel twist on regular circus performer costumes and incorporating the star sequins from that dress into our own costumes."

"So, my friends Lauren and Hannah and I got a bunch of tulle, some pretty ribbon and feathers, put on some circus music, and started crafting away." she added.

And if you're interested in recreating Lauren's look, she provides a step by step guide on her website.

She may be part of one of the biggest girl bands in the world right now, but Jade Thirlwall of Little Mix fame fought her fair share of demons before establishing herself as a bonafide popstar.

Opening up about her issues in the band's autobiography, Jade explains that a number of events led to the development of an eating disorder which saw her weight plummet to just six stone.

From navigating problems at home and school to dealing with the loss of a family member, a 13-year-old Jade attempted to gain control by monitoring her diet in a move which eventually resulted in her hospitalisation.

"Anorexia is a self-destructive thing and you become stubborn, so when people are trying to tell you something you get it into your head that they're against you and you're not going to listen," she wrote.

 

truly terrifying. hats off to me mam for producing the omen. #mothersday

Revealing the extent of the problem, Jade explained: "My periods stopped and things were getting out of control but I don't think I really cared about what was happening to me."

"I felt so depressed at the time that I just wanted to waste away and disappear." she admitted.

The singer pinpoints her meeting with medical professionals as a turning point in her battle against the illness, writing: "It took going to hospital to make me realise that it wasn't a game, it was something really serious."

"They sat me down in the clinic and were quite tough at first, spelling it out: 'You're destroying your body and if you keep doing this you will die'" she remembers.

Thankfully, Jade received the help she needed and slowly returned to a healthy weight during her teens,

For a woman so in tune with social media, it seems hard to believe that Geordie Shore's Marnie didn't anticipate the speculation which would ensue when she made the decision to delete all trace of her boyfriend Lewis Bloor from her Instagram page.

Marnie, who got together with Lewis during Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year, decided to address the rumours that she and the TOWIE star had split during an appearance on Loose Women today.

Dismissing the reports that she and Lewis had called time on her romance, Marnie admitted that while they are finding their long-distance relationship difficult, they are still very much together.

"It’s really really tough just because we live so far away from each other.” Marnie admitted. "We’re working through it. It’s hard."

Acknowledging the fall-out from her social media move, Marnie appeared to regret deleting the photos, saying: "We had an argument and I went and deleted every single picture of him off Instagram.”

“I forget everyone’s looking and I thought, ‘Why have I done that?’ Like, now I’ve put so much pressure on us," she added.

And Lewis didn't help matters either after tweeting a message which appeared to suggest he was content with developments, writing: "One door closes another one opens that's how life works."

Keeping us on our toes there, guys.

Over the course of her time on Geordie Shore, we've watched her transform from an over-the-top 18-year-old (in need of a lot of minding) to a self-possessed 24-year-old, but it looks like Holly Hagan has decided that she's officially done with the Newcastle party scene.

Or at the very least, done with being filmed while living it up on the Newcastle party scene.

According to emerging reports, Holly has told the show's production team that her time on the MTV show is over, and she'd rather leave on a high than fade into the background as she vies for attention alongside newer cast members.

"Holly formally told producers she was off earlier this month," a show's source told The Sun.

Explaining the motivation behind the reality star's decision, the insider confirmed that Holly is feeling on edge since the show's overhaul, saying: "She’s got her own projects to follow and there's a whole new cast that's come in and she's feeling that it's really time to move on."

Following in the footsteps of Vicky, James and Charlotte (to name but three), Holly apparently won't be reversing her decision despite persuasion from the show's team.

"Producers have asked her to reconsider but so far she’s stuck to her guns," the insider revealed.

Well, that's that then.

If you thought the delicacies served up to desperate stars in I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here has been pretty bad so far, it looks like we've seen nothing yet.

From witchetty grubs to fish eyes, almost 200 celebrities since the show's debut in 2002 have choked down countless creepy-crawlies (among other things) in order to keep their stressed-out fellow campers in rations.

And while the vast majority of us gagged delicately into our pyjama sleeves during these particular bushtucker trials, recent reports suggest we're going to need our own personal sick buckets for the upcoming series.

Speaking to the Daily Star, a source close to the long-running programme revealed that production teams intend to introduce crocodile vagina to the menu.

That's right ladies, celebrities will be feasting on a female crocodile's secret secretness.

"In the past, celebrities have had mealworms, witchetty grubs, fermented egg and fish eyes to eat," they acknowledged.

"They’re a picnic compared to this delicacy," they added. "A croc’s vagina is something else. Ant and Dec will giggle about it but they don’t have to eat it."

Seriously, who needs pay cheque THAT badly?

Decades before he became a Friday night staple in the late 1990s, Graham Norton was making studio audiences laugh, and thanks to the wonder that is the world wide web, we've all been given an opportunity to see it.

In footage, which was originally uploaded to YouTube in 2014 but has been doing the rounds again this week, a teenage Graham is seen taking part in a hearty debate on the merits of teenage discos on a show called Youngline.

Sounding like the voice of reason among a group of teens who appear to have had a banter bypass, Graham asks his Youngline contributors who seem particularly concerned about the teenage discos: "What's the big deal? It's an oul dance."

Hinting at the notoriously witty chat show host he was to become in the future, Graham then fielded a question about his disco sexcapades with the same tongue-in-cheek manner we love him for today.

Ladies, this is gold.

Look, we'll be honest, we generally approach Vogue's '73 Questions' segment with more than a little trepidation.

The rapid-fire nature of the interview means the chosen celebrity has only mere moments to make an impact, and what if our favourite celebrity absolutely fluffs it?!

Thankfully for us. Emma Stone – the latest celeb to lead the style bible team through her LA home – absolutely nailed it.

From revealing she used to bake dog treats in a dog bakery to admitting she doesn't have a style icon, Emma reminded us that when it comes to Hollywood A-listers, this girl is refreshingly down to earth.

Oh, and that Britney Spears impression? Absolutely flawless.

Amanda Seyfried recently made the decision to openly discuss her reliance on anti-depressant medication during an interview with Allure magazine in a move which is bound to resonate with fans suffering from the same condition as the much-loved Hollywood star.

While explaining that she chose not to install a stove in her guest house, she reasoned that it was likely due to her need for control – something which she feels stems from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

Explaining that she manages the condition with the help of medication, Amanda insists she had no intention of weaning herself off it.

"I'm on Lexapro, and I'll never get off of it," she explained. "I've been on it since I was 19, so 11 years."

"I'm on the lowest dose. I don't see the point of getting off of it. Whether it's placebo or not, I don't want to risk it."

Acknowledging the stigma attached to mental conditions, Amanda insists she refuses to feel shame for controlling symptoms with medication, saying: "And what are you fighting against? Just the stigma of using a tool?"

"A mental illness is a thing that people cast in a different category from other illnesses, but I don't think it is. It should be taken as seriously as anything else."

"You don't see the mental illness: It's not a mass; it's not a cyst," she continued. "But it's there. Why do you need to prove it? If you can treat it, you treat it."

At the height of their fame in the mid 1990s, Oasis were asked to contribute a track to an upcoming British movie, and due to a little miscommunication Noel Gallagher ultimately declined.

So basically, as the Britpop era gained momentum and Oasis were widely considered one of the best bands in the world, Danny Boyle approached the lads from Manchester and suggested they write a song for Trainspotting, but unfortunately for Danny, Noel wasn't having it.

And that, ladies, is because Noel failed to ask what the film was about, and assumed from the title it was about actual train spotters – a relatively twee pastime which he clearly felt wouldn't properly represent the Oasis brand.

"Danny is from near Manchester and he was very keen to have Noel Gallagher do something but there was a reason why he didn't do it," producer Andrew Macdonald recently recalled. 

"He came to the launch party in Cannes, but I don't know why he didn't do a piece of music," he added, according to the Independent.

Filling in the blanks for the film's producer, costume designer, Rachel Fleming, explained that Noel had recently admitted his mistake.

"I met Noel at a thing the other week and he said to me: 'I would have done something, but honestly I thought it was about train spotters. I didn't know.' That's what he actually said."

Ah, Noel. Imagine Blur, Pulp and Iggy Pop made the same mistake?!

When it comes to climate change and carbon footprint, Leonardo DiCaprio is a man on a mission.

But long before Leo began promoting environmental awareness, there was only one lad you could call when it came to these matters – and that lad was Captain Planet.

Between Captain Planet and the world's favourite Oscar-dodger, we'd be in safe hands, so it’s no real surprise that the 41-year-old actor has taken up the production reins when it comes to the long-awaited Captain Planet movie.

Only dying to take pollution down to zero, Paramount and Appian Way Productions are bringing the 90s cartoon into the 21st century, and if a quick glance through the cartoon’s archives are anything to go by, it’s in dire need of a modern twist.

We mean, just take a look at the chaos which ensued when the Planeteers took a trip across the pond and wound up in Northern Ireland.

After taking a trip down memory lane with Sean and Stuart, we're fairly sure, you – like us – have a few questions.

Why did Belfast look like an intergalatic wasteland? Why did Sean morph between an Irish and Scottish accent? And why did Captain Planet only care about the 'old people'?!

Unsurprisingly, YouTubers had a hard time wrapping their heads around the cartoon's assessment of the situation in Ulster, with one writing: "Captain Planet will be fondly remembered as the show that united the Irish Catholics and Protestants in cringe."

"I don't know what's more catastrophic. The destruction of his neighbourhood or their attempt at Irish accents," wrote another.

We're with them…

Between their new track, Shout Out To My Ex, and Perrie revealing that Zayn did indeed end their engagement by text, Little Mix haven't held back when it comes to Zayn-bashing recently.

But it looks like they may have gone too far if pushback on a recent Instagram post is anything to go by.

In a move which undoubtedly references Zayn's now infamously poor dance audition on The X Factor, Jade is seen being egged on by band mates while recreating Zayn's dodgy dancing.

Unfortunately for the ladies, however, not everyone was impressed by the blatant put-down, with many Instagram users calling the girls out on their 'childish' mudslinging.

"LM needs to grow up," wrote one follower. "I can't believe these chicks are 23 to 25 yr old women but yet act 6. Like it ain't Zayn's fault he's no Justin timberlake or Chris brown, when it comes to dancing."

"Would u like if someone make fun of u for something they thought u didn't do right am sure u won't," added another.

"Instead of LM making fun of Zayn's dance moves from the past, maybe they should learn how to act they age instead of immature, ignorant petty women," raged another.

Well, that went well…

Romance which blossoms in the Celebrity Big Brother house rarely stands the test of the time in the outside world, but while some contestants are more than happy to go their separate ways, others take pleasure in a little mud-slinging.

Proving he's a card-carrying member of the latter camp, Geordie Shore's Scotty T recently threw some serious shade at TOWIE's Megan McKenna who he cosied up to in the CBB house earlier this year.

Commenting on the drama currently escalating between Megan and Peter Wicks, Scotty showed little sympathy for Megan who recently learned that Pete had been sending X-rated snaps to former girlfriends.

During his MTV segment, Scotty weighed in on the controversy, saying: "At the end of the day he shouldn't have been doing it, but I don't understand why his ex bird went to the papers."

Sharing a snap of Megan looking pretty distraught, Scotty said: "Obviously she wasn't happy when she found out. I mean, look at this picture of her, man."

"Look at her f*cking face. That is sheer evil there, like." he said of the 24-year-old reality star.

Continuing to pour scorn on Megan, Scotty made reference to their own doomed romance, saying: "I mean I wouldn't like to get on the wrong side of her, man."

"I remember once on Big Brother she went to me 'If you ever do anything wrong, I'll cut your d*ck off,'" he claimed.

Don't hold back there…
