Since its advent at the dawn of the new millennium, Big Brother, and its celebrity spin-off shows, have gradually become more and more risqué.

With members of the general public and so-called C-list celebs vying for notoriety in the now infamous reality TV house, the antics of contestants has, over the years, escalated from chaste kisses and nocturnal fumblings to full-on sexcapades in full view of other housemates.

And it sounds like a lot of people have had enough.

With Marnie Simpson making headlines after enjoying the 'most romantic shower' of her life with Lewis Bloor, and Stephen Bear (who has a girlfriend) begging Chloe Khan for sex in the house bathroom in the latest series, campaigners are concerned about the x-rated nature of the show.

Calling for the long-running show – which switched from Channel 4 to Channel 5 in 2011 – to be axed, a spokesperson for Mediawatchdog-UK said: "If Channel 5 needs to resort to this sort of controversy to maintain any interest in Celebrity Big Brother, then perhaps the format needs to be allowed to die a bit more quietly."

"What’s most concerning here is Channel 5’s on-demand service that allows children to watch such programmes with just a box tick to say they’re old enough."

"Post-watershed is one thing but the Internet means nudity is on the air 24 hours a day," they added.

Remember when Tom's red shorts were the talk of the summer back in 2000?

So, it doesn't exactly sound like the Suicide Squad cast fully nailed it in the performance stakes, but when it came to the aesthetic for the highly-anticipated superhero flick, it looks like those guys gave it their all.

Having to share the vast majority of her screen-time with a pair of miniscule hot pants, Margot Robbie dedicated herself to a work-out regime which anyone can recreate…as long as they have three hours a day to spare.

According to Margot's trainer, Andie Hecker, in the run-up to a scene which shows her in little more than a bra and fishnets, the Aussie actress exercised for a staggering three hours per day.

Opting for a Pilates-based routine as opposed to high-intensity interval training, Margot worked herself into the shape which has gotten movie-goers talking since the first sneak peeks of the film leaked earlier this year.

In addition to incorporating extra reps into a standard Pilates routine, Margot's trainer also included swimming sessions as well as a ballet-inspired jumping circuit which saw Margot perform ballet jumps, jump rope, and make use of a rebounder trampoline.

Acknowledging that the actress was not required to prioritise any one body part over another, Andie told Cosmopolitan: "It was very important to me to keep her regiment well-rounded in order to condition the entire body and not overwork any one muscle group."

Between Margot's regime and Gigi Hadid's dedication to the gym mat, we can just FEEL our motivation increasing…well, ya know, kinda.

Since its release in 2014, Ed Sheeran's Thinking out Loud has become a modern-day romantic classic.

From engagements to first dances, this song is the soundtrack to millions of relationship milestones, but it appears we mightn't actually have Ed to thank for it.

According to emerging reports, the 25-year-old pop sensation is being sued on the grounds he copied Marvin Gaye's track Let's Get It On for the production of Thinking Out Loud.

The Independent reports that the family of Ed Townsend –  the co-writer for the 1973 track – have sought legal advice as to whether they are owed damages due to the similarity seen in Sheeran's song.

According to court documents, the Townsend family conducted their own research into the the issue, which read: "The Defendants copied the heart of Let's and repeated it continuously throughout Thinking."

"The melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic compositions of Thinking are substantially and/or strikingly similar to the drum composition of Let's". it continued.

While Ed, his record label and legal team have yet to issue a response regarding the track which has racked up 1.2 billion views on YouTube, media outlets have made reference to the fact this is not the singer's first time being implicated in such a situation.

Earlier this summer, the singer was sued for $20 million for copying Amazing – a song penned by Matt Cardle's songwriters –  for the production of Photograph.

If your Monday Morning Blues are particularly bad this week, then footage of Britney Spears' recent trip to Hawaii might send you completely over the edge.

But as we're total gluttons for punishment here at SHEmazing! HQ, we couldn't help but watch the star's most recent Instagram upload over…and over…and over.

Accompanied by George Michael's Faith, Britney's video shows herself and her two boys, Sean and Jayden, getting their chill on during a trip we could probably only afford if we ever made good on the Prize Bonds Nana left us.

Fans of the Toxic singer have been quick to comment on the video which has raked in a staggering 796,000 likes in just nine hours, with one asking: "Can I be your assistant Brit??"

Another Instagram user made reference to the star's clear appreciation of a hotdog during the clip, writing: "Omg! So jealous you can eat that and still have an amazing figure!"

Ladies, watch at your peril…
 

 

Wheeeee! #Hawaii

When your high-profile relationship and even higher-profile split plays out in front of a global audience, you have to expect a certain type of fall-out.

And while there's no doubt Taylor Swift has come out of Tayvin saga a lot worse off than her former boyfriend, Calvin Harris, the Scottish DJ hasn't managed to escape ridicule entirely.

Upon accepting a Future Icon award in Las Vegas this weekend, the 32-year-old star was placed in a fairly awkward position when host Howie Mandel made reference to his world-famous ex-girlfriend.
 

 

Thank you Caesars for my Future Icon award!!!

Cracking the biggest Dad joke of all time, the America's Got Talent judge complimented the DJ's threads, saying: "That’s a nice suit. Who’s your tailor?"

Only delighted with himself and the audience's reaction, Howie then added: "See what I did?"

After laughing off the jibe with a fake chortle you reserve solely for moments like that, Calvin responded: "You got that prepared, you had that one ready."

In spite of Howie's remark, Calvin kept his composure before delivering a speech, and sharing the moment online for Instagram users.
 

 

An honor to meet a living legend!!!

"Thank you Caesars for my Future Icon award!!" he wrote alongside two photos of himself proudly clutching the award.

Massive congratulations are in order this morning following the news that much-loved celebrity chef Jamie Oliver has become a dad for the fifth time.

Taking to Instagram in the early hours of this morning, Jamie shared a photo of his gorgeous little boy, and his social media followers have wasted no time sending messages of congratulations to the Oliver family.

"And then this just happened guys !! IT'S A BABY BOY!" he began in a post which has been like almost a quarter of a million times since its upload.

"Everyone in the Oliver family is very surprised and beyond happy," he wrote before paying tribute to his wife of 16 years.
 

"He arrived safely, mum @joolsoliver was really really amazing, unbelievably composed, natural birth and my two eldest girls got to come in at the very end as the baby was born which was amazing to witness very very emotional," he continued.

 "8 lbs ( that's 16 packs of butter for you bakers out there) anyway were all hitting the hay it's been a long day big love… bless a little baby boy Woop Woop."

"And love to all you mums out there," he finished. "How amazing you are it blows my mind …. Big love jamie o"

The TV chef and campaigner explained that his little boy has yet to be named, adding a PS: "No baby names yet."

Having chosen Poppy Honey, Daisy Boo, Peta Blossom and Buddy Bear for their first four, we can't wait to hear what they come up with!

We all know Kim Kardashian has a penchant for the dramatic – we mean, remember when she lost her earring in the ocean?

And when you're naturally that dramatic, you need a BFF who can handle you, and acknowledge that while it may seem little to everyone else, it's a pretty big deal to you.

Thankfully for Kim, this person comes in the form of Chrissy Teigen who – unlike the rest of the world – genuinely cared when Kim's beloved Blackberry finally kicked the bucket.

In a move that showcases her sense of humour as well as her top-notch friendship skills, Chrissy sent Kim a note – accompanied by a bouquet – which urged her to remember the good times she shared with her much-loved handheld device.
 

"I'm so sorry for your loss," the new mum wrote. "I know how much you loved your BB."

"You were both very lucky to have each other and you will always have the memories," she assured Kim in a gesture which has sent social media users over the edge.

Sharing footage of the flowers and note on Snapchat video upload, Kim said: "You guys, how thoughtful is Chrissy. She sent me this floral arrangement. She just gets me."

Oh, she definitely gets you, but she also couldn't have said that in person with a straight face…

There are some people who choose between the six original cast members when discussing their favourite Friends characters, and then there's other people – us – who choose Mike Hannigan.

Ah Mike, ye of the phantom keyboard tricks, sick one-liners and 'sailor on leave' skills.

Played by Paul Rudd, Mike Hannigan was the first man that made Phoebe think she might want to hang up her hippie threads and become a soccer mom for life.

But it looks like the writers didn't actually have this future in mind for Phoebe.

According to Hank Azaria, who played Phoebe's love interest David in earlier episodes, writers actually intended to bring David back, pair him off with Phoebe and let those two lovebirds live out their hippie/ sciencey future together.

And it sounds like Hank was pretty cut up about the writers' decision.

"It actually did sting a little bit," Hank said. "Whatever part of me is David the science guy who went to Minsk, which admittedly is probably a small part of me, but that part of me wanted to end up with Phoebe."

Giving props to Paul, Hank, who's best known for voicing numerous Simpsons characters said; "I think, honestly, what happened was Paul Rudd is so awesome that they sort of found a groove with him and my character became more of just the grist for that mill."

Imagine Phoebe's wedding to Mike hadn't gone ahead – no steel drum, no dying dog, no manic wedding planning from Monica… it just wouldn't have been the same.

Attempting to do justice to one of the world's greatest performers is no mean feat – something which X Factor hopefuls should keep in mind – so hats off to Ariana Grande who pulled it off with aplomb during a performance on ABC's show Greatest Hits this week.

Paying tribute to Whitney Houston, who died suddenly in 2012, the Bang Bang singer performed a mash-up of How Will I Know and Queen of the Night, and she absolutely slayed.

Taking to social media to mark the performance, Ariana wrote: "Thank you so much @greatesthitsabc. Honored & grateful to have been a part. #howwilliknow #queenofthenight"

And in a total break from the norm when it comes to covers of pop classics, YouTubers were all for an album of Ariana doing Whitney.

"Paying tribute to a legend is quite a hard work and she did it so good," wrote one while another added: "Can we just have a whole album of just Ariana doing covers bc this, this, is heavenly."

Credit where credit's due, this is glorious.

Fountains of Wayne had it right when they said Stacy's mom has got it going on, but it looks like the memo failed to reach Stacy's mom herself who is currently undergoing bizarre rituals in an effort to look younger.

Rachel Hunter, who played every teenage boy's dream in the video for the 2003 chart-topper, came to prominence in the early 90s when she appeared on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, and despite no longer modelling, the New Zealand-born star still possesses a keen interest in the world of beauty.

As part of her television show, Tour Of Beauty, the 46-year-old former model is allowing therapists from around the world to perform a myriad of beauty rituals on her.

Taking to Instagram this week, Rachel shared her experience of an Asian treatment, and it looks pretty uncomfortable.

The treatment removes the fine hairs from a woman's face with the help of a neck razor – all in an effort to open pores and assist the absorption of moisturiser – and must be repeated every three weeks so as to avoid the emergence of stubble.
 

Uploading a video of herself looking mildly uncomfortable as the blade edged towards her eye in the 'Japan Episode', Rachel wrote: "Having a shave. No I didn't grow any stubble. But I have to say my skin felt amazing."

"Just some of the amazing experiences I had from superfoods to ancient remedies, on wellness , longevity on @rachelstourofbeauty #beauty #beautycare," she added.

Instagram users were quick to comment on the upload, with many enquiring into the after-care procedure and others offering their opinion on the treatment.

"Discussed this with Japanese woman here in Sydney," wrote one follower. "She said her mum does this. She said to her mum "You're crazy for shaving", and her mum replied "You're crazy for not shaving". We all have our own version of normal."

Too true…but we don't think we'll be trying it any time soon.

We've all been there: you've finally reached the till, there's a queue of disgruntled shoppers shuffling behind you, your items get scanned through, and then your credit card gets declined.

Do you frantically look in your purse for cash knowing full well you don't have a cent or do you simply take it on the chin and say you'll call back later?

Most of us would cringe from head to toe and vow never to return to that store, and it sounds like Adele is no different.

The multi award-winning star may have millions in the bank but that doesn't mean she's immune to the odd technical glitch, and she experienced one while shopping in H&M recently.

In classic Adele style, the singer spilled the deets to her audience during a performance in San Jose's SAP Centre over the weekend.

"I went to H&M and my card got declined," she confessed. "Oh my days, pretty embarrassing."

Thankfully, the singer managed to go unrecognised, but the incident still didn't do much for the star's pride, continuing: "Nobody knew it was me, but I was mortified."

We don't know about you, but it makes us feel so much better over all those times we had to do the fake run to the ATM.

BRB…we swear.

While the 17th series of Celebrity Big Brother revolved around Stephanie Davis and Jeremy McConnell ill-fated romance blossoming, its predecessor focused mostly on the burgeoning on-screen alliance between former porn star Jenna Jameson and Teen Mom star Farrah Abraham.
