If Rihanna and Beyoncé know anything, it's how to work (work, work, work, work) a packed stadium, but unfortunately they just weren't given the opportunity to do so during their respective UK tours in recent weeks.

Despite the fact their concerts were touted as 'sold-out' just about everywhere, both Ri-Ri and Queen Bey ended up playing to a half-empty Wembley stadium during the UK leg of their tours.

And while some feared that the poor turn-out was due to a waning interest in the female stars, it turns out the rows upon rows of empty seats in the world-famous venue had more to do with ticket touts and less to do with the ladies' popularity.

According to a report in the Daily Mirror, ticket touts did what they do best and bought in bulk when the gigs were announced – we just LOVE when they do that, don't you?

And then due to their overly-inflated prices and the fact that most people can't justify shelling over hundreds even if it to see their idol, they simply weren't able to shift them in time for each gig.

So, there's that, and then there's the fact some fans actually FORGET to turn up

We're going to come right out and say it – we adore the Obama family.

From the President's drop the mic public addresses to the First Lady's decision to ride shotgun with James Corden, the Obama family are the family you WISH you had if only everyone could just play it cool for five damn seconds.

And yet while President Obama broke the mould in so many, many ways, he remains steadfast in his traditional approach to one particular job – fatherhood.

Reminding the public that you can be schlick as a world leader but a total goon when it comes to your children, good ol' Barack decided to serenade his oldest daughter during yesterday's 4th of July celebrations in the White House, and we cannot get enough.

From his God-awful singing voice to the appreciative-but-please-stop side hug Malia goes for, this is just too adorable.

Ladies, fast forward to 4.00 for that oh-so-golden moment…

We all know that the TV and movie industry can be a cut-throat business, so we shouldn't be overly surprised that stars miss out on acting roles because of other people's egos, should we?

But we're still a little stunned to learn that David Hasslehoff, who played Mitch Buchanan in Baywatch, ensured the Oscar-winning actor, Leonardo DiCaprio, didn't secure a role on the world-famous TV show when he was 15.

Having tried out for the role of Hobie – David's on-screen son – Leonardo ultimately failed to secure the role despite the fact the production team were all for it.

Speaking to the Hollywood Reporter, show producer, Michael Berk, said: "We actually had DiCaprio ready to be cast. But David thought he was too old to play his son."

Concerned how he would appear to the show's global audience, David persuaded the team to re-cast for the role, with Michael revealing: "David thought it would make him look older. He had a lot of concerns of that type."

The role in the show, which ran from 1989 to 2001, ultimately went to nine-year-old Jeremy Jackson whose star never really ascended as high as good ol' Leo's.

Jeez David…

With discussion surrounding rape culture – and its prevalence in everyday life – continuing to rage around the world, it's no surprise that things got more than a little heated on Zendaya's Twitter page yesterday when she saw herself included in a post about rape.

Sharing an image, which has since been deleted, the 19-year-old actress expressed her distress over our generation's regard for women and sex crimes.

According to The Independent, the former Disney drew her followers' attention to a post which featured her, Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj and Rihanna alongside a reference to 2013 film, The Purge.

Drawing on the premise of the movie – where all crime is legalised for 12 hours – the Twitter user asked: "If the purge was real, who y'all raping?'

Understandably horrified by the post, Zendaya lashed out at the Twitter user, writing: "This is absolutely disgusting and you should be ashamed of yourself."

"Is this really what my generation thinks is ok? she asked "People are sick."

Having gotten the star's attention, the Twitter troll basked in his newfound online notoriety before Zendaya cut him down with a quick assessment of his characteristics.

"The only thing that's lit is your immorality and inhumanity young man. I pray you find some sense," she wrote.

"I don't think I've ever seen something so disrespectful," wrote one of Zendaya's followers in response to the post while another questioned: "Why are people like this allowed on earth?"

Zendaya's posts on the subject have been liked more than 40,000 times since yesterday.

Let us set the scene for you.

It's a quarter to four in the morning, you and your BFF are slumped across the kitchen table after a night out and as one of you cracks open more vino with the heel of your shoe, the other begins to have what can only be described as an existential crisis.

Teetering perilously close to the edge, she insists you mean more to her than – hic – anyone else in the world, but – hic – what is the point in this whole – hic – thing called life?

If that sounds familiar, you're going to feel like you've already read Justin Bieber's latest post because it basically sounds like all of us after a few too many gins with a few less hiccups and a lot more punctuation.

"It's crazy how some people don't even question or ponder the reason for their existence and are okay going through the motions," he began in a post which has clocked up 427,000 likes in just two hours,

"We don't live to die," he insisted." We have purpose and meaning! Step outside your comfort zone and challenge your friends by asking those tough questions like what do you think the meaning of life is? What do you think your purpose is?"

"I'm not saying you have to believe the same thing I believe but at least have the discussion," he pleaded.

"Sometimes it can be scary opening yourself up to what can come from those conversations, and I think it can be easier sometimes to just avoid and not think about it."

Finishing off the post before faceplanting signing out, the Love Yourself singer wrote "But I think it's worth it!!!"

Good man yourself, Justin. Sure, you're dead right.

In an industry which consistently focuses on the aesthetic, Aussie actress, Rebel Wilson, insists she has no intention of conforming to Hollywood's beauty ideals, and even credits her shape for her global success.

According to The Independent, the Pitch Perfect actress insists that despite what Hollywood would have you think, gaining weight actually did wonders for her career and celebrity profile.

Reflecting on the moment which caused her to question the link between appearance and audience appreciation, Rebel recalled being in a play with an actress larger than her.

 

Thanks again to @flaremag for making me their March cover girl. Issue out now!!

Speaking to The Telegraph, she said: "I was like: ‘Oh. That girls’ getting a lot of laughs, a lot easier than me. What is it?’ Because I don’t think there’s much difference in talent."

"And I remember distinctly thinking: ‘I think it’s because she’s fatter’. And then, I don’t know if it was mega-conscious, but I thought: ‘How can I get more laughs? Maybe if I was a bit fatter…’ And then suddenly I was fatter and doing comedy,” she explained.

Rebel said her appearance has predominantly worked to her advantage, once telling Cosmopolitan: "When I walked into my agent’s office for the first time, they looked and me and said, ‘Wow, we have nobody on our books like you.’ And they signed me on my second day here."

The 36-year-old actress, who suffers from a hormonal imbalance, acknowledges that her perspective is far from the norm in Tinseltown, saying: "I saw my size as being an advantage whereas so many women see it as a disadvantage."

If we didn't love her enough already…

Becoming pregnant by a member of One Direction last year made Briana Jungwirth instant internet fodder as die-hard Directioners clamoured to share their thoughts on the relationship that existed between the LA-based stylist and Louis Tomlinson.

And unfortunately for Briana, the new mum has had to face an inordinate amount of criticism and scrutiny since welcoming her son Freddie in January of this year.

Taking to Twitter last night, the 24-year-old, who is reported in a custody battle with the One Direction star, pleaded with the public to respect her and her child as they reluctantly navigate life in the public eye, but unfortunately for Briana it did NOT go down well.

"To all those who feel the need to make disparaging, hateful and inappropriate comments concerning me and my son Freddie – I am sincerely sorry that you all have chosen to focus your time and attention on my life and the life of my son", she began.

"Surely you must have better things to do than pry into the personal ife of a single mom and newborn child," she continued.

"I am a proud new mother that is extremely joyous about my child being in this world and have shared that joy with my friends and family on a daily basis – often times through social media."

"However, that does not give anyone the right, or an invitation to be nasty and disparaging toward me," she wrote. "So, please stop prying into the private and personal facts of my life and my son's life in order to weave stories and peak public interest."

In the lengthy post, Briana urged people to rethink their approach to her and her son, writing: "I am confident that in the days and weeks to come, you all will find that your negativity and venomous attacks were little more than time wasted."

Unfortunately for Briana, it looks like her words fell on deaf ears with many Twitter users using the post as a platform to slam the single mum.

"I know none of this is real but she's making herself look like a f*cking idiot (I'm loving it), like honey sit ur ass down," wrote one.

Slamming Briana's post, another wrote: "She literally follows every acc out there abt her & "Freddie", also she can put accs on private if she wanted privacy lol." (sic)

Insisting that she's simply looking for attention, Briana's followers suggested she check her privacy settings before suggesting that her personal life is being invaded.

Well, that didn't go to plan…

Whether she was rocking an Alice band, a long sleek bob or a head of beachy waves, Lauren Conrad generally remained pretty consistent when it came to her hair colour.

Warm honey tones tended to be the order of the day for the former reality TV star, but it looks like she's decided to go all Taylor Swift at the Met Gala if a recent Instagram preview is anything to go by.

While the 30-year-old Laguna Beach-native herself has yet to unveil her new look to her five million followers, Kristin Ess – Lauren's stylist – has teased the transformation on her own Insta page, and people are OBSESSED.

Uploading a shot of a coy-looking Lauren sporting platinum-blonde tresses, Kristin wrote: "Got to spend this morning with my human doll @laurenconrad and some of my fave ladies at @enews@cinalin @iamcattsadler {hair by me & makeup by @amynadinemakeup."

 "Just a bunch of hard working ladies making the world go round," she added in the post which has clocked up more than 8,000 likes since its upload this weekend.

The stylist's followers were all over Lauren's icy-blonde look, with one writing: "The perfection that is Lauren Conrad" and another commenting: "Lauren's new look is mesmerizing."

Ladies? We sense a hair appointment coming on…

We've all dabbled in a little online shopping after a few too many gins, and the worst that generally happens is we receive a dress three sizes too small which a drunker and more positive version of ourselves had such high aspirations for.

While we can forgive ourselves those early morning misdemeanours, we'd struggle to get over buying tickets to see Queen Bey and then forgetting to actually show up as one woman in the UK did over the weekend.

Last Thursday. 34-year-old Tammy, fuelled by a few drinks, decided to go online and nab herself, her husband and her son three tickets to experience the Formation World Tour.

All was well until the happy trio were on their way to Sunday night's performance, and Tammy realised they were late…a full day too late, to be exact.

Pumped they'd be finishing off the weekend in the presence of greatness, Tammy opened her Ticketmaster app while on the train to the stadium and swiftly decided that alcohol and online activity shouldn't mix.

"It said only past events and I saw it said Saturday and realised the show was over and we couldn’t go anymore," she told BuzzFeed after sharing her story with Twitter.

"I think a lot of Beyoncé fans on Twitter could relate to me feeling devastated," she said. "There were the odd people laughing at me, but a lot of people were genuinely devastated for me as well, so that was nice, in a way."
 

If ever there was a better reason to stick to Lemonade in the future…. (Yeah, we actually went there, and now we'll see ourselves out.)

Our favourite couple of the moment are getting cuter and CUTER.

Brooklyn Beckham and Chloe Grace Moretz have been publicly dating since May 2016, although we suspect the relationship has been going on much longer. 

Yesterday, the lovebirds sent the social media sphere into a frenzy, with an exchange of PDA-ridden pics. 

Brooklyn, 17, visited his actress girlfriend on-set yesterday, and shared a number of photographs of his visit through Instagram and Twitter. 

The Neighbours 2 actress joined in the fun, by posting an ADORABLE pic on Instagram, with the caption 'I think I'll keep him.' AWWWWW…

 

I think I'll keep him 🙂

We are getting serious #powercouple vibes from these two teens!

Before news broke that Iggy Azalea had called time on her relationship with Nick Young it looks like the Australian rapper was already having a rough enough time of it.

In footage which has been uploaded to YouTube, Iggyy was seen being approached by a randomer while waiting for a flight at a New York airport this week.

Remarkably pleasant to someone who was openly filming her, Iggy was reminded that trolling isn't always the reserve of keyboard warriors.

After approaching the 26-year-old star, the sarky randomer clearly couldn't wait to deliver his one-liner, saying: "Are you Iggy Azalea? I would just like to thank you so much for ruining hiphop."

Walking off with a delighted laugh, Iggy was left standing there in a moment which has been watched more than 65,000 times online since its upload on Sunday.

Ah lads, our hearts!

The best things in life come in twos – shoes, earrings and cupcakes (when we buy them anyway) – so we are PUMPED over reports that Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher are expecting twins!

While the notoriously private Hollywood couple, who welcomed their first child in 2014, have yet to confirm reports, insiders say they're absolutely buzzing over the news.

According to Life & Style, the source said the Black Swan star and her husband can't wait to add to their family, revealing that 'they love the idea of giving Wyatt two baby siblings'.

Apparently the news hasn't come as too much of a shock to the couple considering that twins run in Ashton's family and he himself has a twin brother named Michael.

"They’re both so happy," confirmed the source close to the couple before revealing that 38-year-old Ashton has been buying everything in pairs and is 'super excited' by what's to come.

The couple, who tied the knot in July of last year, started dating in 2012 after starring opposite each other in That 70s Show.
