Adam Collard and Zara McDermott have been together for three weeks, and the two have made it publicly known just how much they love each other. 

Many doubted that the pair would last once they left the villa, considering Adam's behaviour while they were there. 

He got with Kendall Rae-Knight, Rosie Willaims and Darylle Sargeant while in the house and admitted to sleeping with over 200 women.

However, it seems that the duo really do care for each other, well, if Adam's latest tattoo is anything to go by.

The 22-year-old took to Instagram to share a photo of his latest inking – a back 'Z'. 

21-year-old Zara was rather chuffed with the gesture and shared a photo of Adam's hand on her Insta stories, writing: "He just got a lil Z on his hand." 

And in fairness to the chap, the tattoo is fairly classy looking – even though it looks like an N depending on what way you're looking at it… 

The pair's relationship has moved pretty quickly since they left the villa, with Adam moving into Zara's family home soon after.

Get ready to hide behind  – well, anything, because Michael Myers has returned for one final killing spree, 40 years after his first in 1978. 

The official trailer for Halloween was released last week at San Diego Comic Con and it scared the absolute sh*t out of us tbh. 

The sequel follows on from the second movie in 1981 (making the wise decision to ignore the later, more unforgettable sequels.)  

Jamie Lee Curtis is back as Laurie Strode, who is suffering from PTSD following the bloody events of that Halloween night 40 years ago. 

This time, the plot goes as follows: Michael has been incarcerated in a psychiatric facility since the original night of murders when he is confronted by two filmmakers who want to learn more about his attacks.

Triggered by this, Michael escapes and heads off to stalk and torture women once again –  but he knows one thing: Laurie will be ready and waiting for his return. 

There are some changes to Jamie Lee's characters backstory – in this version, she has a daughter, played by Judy Greer, instead of a son.

She is also not the sister of Michael Myers, who is simply a manic, unknown serial killer.

Jamie Lee discussed how these changes positively impacted her character at San Diego Comic Con.

According to Entertainment Tonight, she said, ''it's a movie about trauma. It’s a movie about what happens to somebody when you’re 17 years old and you have this horrible trauma perpetrated on you, and you have no help. This is a woman who has carried, for 40 years, her entire adult life, this trauma.''

Yes, we can imagine being chased by a knife-wielding masked man who has butchered your two best friends would be fairly traumatic alright. 

“We are seeing in the world today, primarily women, who have been traumatised in all sorts of ways, physical violence, emotional violence, sexual violence and, in Laurie’s case, actually knife-attack violence… all of those women are having the moment where they will no longer allow that to be the narrative.”

She continued, ''no longer does that define them, that they are standing up and saying, ‘Enough’. And this is a movie about ‘enough’ at a time when it happens to be a national and worldwide message. And so it couldn't’t be timed better, and it couldn't’t have been written better.”

John Carpenter's Halloween has long been hailed a a classic and fans have been sharing their excitement on social media in the lead-up to this latest instalment. 

Someone on Twitter clearly wasn't counting down or anything when they wrote, ''12 weeks and 87 days till the #HalloweenMovie drops on theatres!'' while another said, ''amazing how this movie will bring us #HalloweenMovie fanatics together. The cool thing is we have a couple of months to go to grow this family. Gonna be awesome.''

The eagerly-anticipated movie will hit screens worldwide on October 19th 2018 and WE. CAN'T. WAIT.

Obsessed with checking Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr, Pinterest, Snapchat and Periscope?

You could be putting your mental health at risk in the pursuit of the perfect online persona. 

A recent study from the University of Pittsburgh’s Center for Research on Media, Technology, and Health found that using multiple social media platforms may put people at increased risk of depression and anxiety.

The study found that if you are a fan of just one or two platforms, you are less likely to develop symptoms of anxiety and depression than those who engage on multiple social media sites. 

"Compared to those who used 0–2 social media platforms, participants who used 7–11 social media platforms had substantially higher odds of having increased levels of both depression," says the Pittsburgh's Centre.

If we were all being honest with ourselves, we would say that sadly, getting likes and comments on a perfectly set-up Instagram picture does give us a little buzz.

It's this feeling of false acceptance and success that people can get hooked on, and when a status or photos flops, so can our mood.

“People compare themselves to the posts they see, and then feel inadequate,” Nicole Amesbury, head of clinical development at online-therapy company Talkspace told the New York Post.

“Another reason is biology-based. Each time they open an app and see a positive response, they get a small amount of dopamine released in the brain."

"When someone doesn’t get enough ‘likes’ or dopamine hits, they feel the loss.”

We think we could do a Kendall Jenner and take a social media sabbatical for ourselves after hearing that.

It's been one year today that the world lost a talented musician, in the form of Linkin Park frontman, Chester Bennington.

He tragically lost his life from suicide last July in Los Angeles at the age of 41.

The Grammy-award winner had openly spoken about his struggle with depression and his issues with substance abuse before his untimely death. 

His heartbroken fans took to social media in huge numbers today to mark the anniversary.

They wrote, ''the tears have started. Miss you so much Chester It feels like it was only yesterday, and yet feels like a lifetime ago.''

Another said, ''for every time that you and your music helped and help me, when I'm feel alone but your voice is with me, misunderstood but I find comfort with your words…for these 18 years and wonder how many more of infinity love…THANK YOU CHAZ.''

His bandmates paid tribute to him today, posting to Instagram.

Mike Shinoda, Joe Hahn, Dave Farrell, Rob Bourdon, and Brad Delson penned the emotional message. 

They wrote, “it has been a year since your passing — a surreal rotation of grief, heartbreak, refusal, and recognition. And yet it [still] feels like you are close by, surrounding us with your memory and your light. Your one-of-a-kind spirit has authored an indelible imprint on our hearts — our jokes, our joy, and our tenderness.”

“Eternally grateful for the love, life, and creative passion you shared with us and the world,” they continued. “We miss you more than words can express.”

Our thoughts are with Chester and all of those who loved him, today.

Skin break outs happen to the best of us..even the perma-glowy Millie Mackintosh.

Thank f*ck for that, we here you say.  

The 28-year-old former Made In Chelsea star took to Instagram stories share her acne woes with her 1.3 million followers. 

Luckily for Mills, she could pop to get some light therapy done when she started to suffer with her complexion.  

 

Spell it out 

A post shared by Millie Mackintosh (@milliemackintosh) on

She explained in her post that her skin ''has been breaking out since my wedding…not sure if it's the heat or what, off to get some light therapy @drfrancesprennajones will let you know how I get on!"

Later that evening, Millie posted again about her skin troubles, saying how it made her feel ''rubbish.''

Her solution to it all?

Lash on a pair of oversized sunnies. Yep, it works for pretty much everything tbh. 

So what is this light therapy that she was getting and can we afford it if we don't live in Chelsea?

Well, the treatment involves using controlled artificial ultraviolet light to help reduce symptoms and slows the progress of common skin conditions.

Shockingly, getting the treatment done with a dermatologist is super pricey.

 So for those of us who aren't socialites, there are brands like Neutrogena who do a Light Therapy Mask, and it does pretty much the same job.

Things aren't all bad for Millie however, as she is recently back from her sun-drenched honeymoon in Crete following her wedding to Hugo Taylor on June 22nd. 

She shared the whole holiday with us, posting envy-inducing snaps of blue skies, sandy beaches and gorgeous bohemian outfits. We're so not jel at all.

Here's hoping that her acne troubles are behind her as she starts married life – we think she still looks gorgeous anyway.

In late June, the Advertising Standards Authority for Ireland (ASAI) upheld a complaint made against blogger Rosie Connolly.

It was claimed that the 28-year-old had filtered and photoshopped an image uploaded to Instagram.

The photograph was promoting a product sponsored by the makeup brand Rimmel.

The social media star has remained tight lipped about the ASAI ruling – until now.

 

A post shared by Rosie Connolly-Quinn (@rosieconxxx) on

Previously, Rosie stated the image in question had been approved by the makeup giant.

Rimmel Ireland however, took down the post as “it did not reflect their values as a brand.”

Nevertheless, they added that there was never an intent for it to be misleading.

Now, the blogger said she felt that she had been made an example of by the Advertising watchdog.

 

A post shared by Rosie Connolly-Quinn (@rosieconxxx) on

Speaking to the Irish Mirror, Rosie said she didn't blame the ASAI for their ruling, but did agree when asked if she felt they made her an example.

“Yeah, I do. I think they have to I suppose, that’s their position," said the blogger.

“Back when it happened I actually explained my position and how it all came about. I wasn’t going to relive the whole thing again when they came out with the ruling.

“But yeah, I don’t blame them for it. I think that’s just the way it goes. There are plenty of people who have broken rules or done things that were frowned upon by the ASAI but obviously my complaint was upheld, that’s fine.”

 

A post shared by Rosie Connolly-Quinn (@rosieconxxx) on

The blogger delved into the reason why she decided to stay quiet after the complaint was upheld.

Rosie felt she had been honest with her followers before the ASAI made their ruling and didn't want to relive the past.

“I came out and I explained exactly what happened, I was very open and honest when it all happened so when [the ruling] came out recently I wasn’t going to go through the whole thing again.

"Anyone who has followed me for that long already knows the story so I thought there was no point in bringing it up again."

 

A post shared by Rosie Connolly-Quinn (@rosieconxxx) on

However, Rosie added that she respects the ASAI's conclusion and why they did it.

 “I suppose they have to and I respect their guidelines, I respect what they have to do to make a point," she explained.

“So yeah, I do feel like I was used as an example but I don’t think that there’s anything wrong with that.”

 

A post shared by Rosie Connolly-Quinn (@rosieconxxx) on

The ASAI’s Complaints Committee stated after they chose to uphold the decision, that:

“All involved in the production of marketing communications that care should be taken so that the use of pre- and post-production techniques did not mislead about the attributes of the product being advertised.”

It will be interesting to see if further complaints of this nature will be ruled in the same way, and how that could impact the Instagram bloggers and brands who sponsor them.

Mental health is a topic that's – thankfully – being slowly but surely unstigmatised in society and the media.  

With more people speaking out about their experiences, it is making it easier for us regular folk to ask for help when we know something's wrong.

Former Destiny's Child member Michelle Williams is one of those trailblazing celebrities.

 

A post shared by Michelle Williams (@michellewilliams) on

Taking to Instagram, the 37-year-old shared a post detailing her struggle with depression.

She wrote, ''for years I have dedicated myself to increasing awareness of mental health and empowering people to recognise when it’s time to seek help, support and guidance from those that love and care for your wellbeing.''

She continued, “I recently listened to the same advice I have given thousands around the world and sought help from a great team of healthcare professionals. Today I proudly, happily and healthily stand here as someone who will continue to always lead by example as I tirelessly advocate for the betterment of those in need.”

Her fans applauded her for sharing with one writing, ''sending you love and light! Thank you for sharing. love love and appreciate you'' while another said, ''take care of you. We will always be here for you.''

Friends of Michelle's quickly responded with messages of love and support for her, with Missy Elliot tweeting out, ''I want to lift our sis up in prayer because there are so many people battling this & many trying to deal with it alone. Please No jokes this is REAL & as human beings let’s keep the ones who are openly dealing with it uplifted & be encouraging to them!''

Michelle has previously spoken out about feeling suicidal during her time with the girl band.

While guest-hosting American chat show The Talk, she revealed that she was depressed from her teens to her 30's.

“I’m in one of the top-selling female groups of all time, suffering with depression,” Michelle said. ''It got really really bad… to the point of I was suicidal […].''

“I was at that place where it got so dark and heavy because sometimes you feel like, ‘I’m not supposed to be feeling this way – what do I do?’ I wanted out.”

Well done to Micelle for highlighting that, pop star or not, no one is immune from mental heath issues.

Running into an ex-boyf is one thing, but playing his wife in a movie is another entirely. 

This nightmare scenario is what happened to actor Amanda Seyfried when she was filming the sequel to her 2008 hit movie, Mamma Mia!

Amanda, who play's Sophie in the movie, and Dominic Cooper, who plays her on-screen love interest, Sky became a real-life couple after the original movie's release.

Although the duo split up three and a half years later, they still hung out on Amanda's 30th birthday and remained good friends.

Which seems to have worked out well, now that they're back playing a couple again ten year's later.

But how does Amanda's husband, Thomas Sadowski, feel about this?

 

'Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again' is now in production!

A post shared by Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again (@mammamiamovie) on

 ''I think he has the same kind of issues that I would have if we were hanging out with his ex-girlfriend from long ago,” the 32-year-old told The Mirror

“I’d guess he assumed Dominic is in love with me the way he’s in love with me. And it’s just not the case. I’d rather he be jealous than completely fine with it. He’s very supportive and he loves this movie, and [he and Dominic] got along absolutely fine when we were shooting.”

It's a good thing that her hubby isn't too jel because it certainly seems like they're BFF's with Dom posting pictures of Amanda and other cast members to his Instagram.

All hail Queen Kylie.

It seems that she's everywhere atm, right?

From landing the cover of Forbes, to shocking the world by removing her lip fillers, now the 20-year-old is gracing the August cover of GQ mag alongside her fella of one year, Travis Scott. 

The couple shared images from their stunning photo shoot all across social media yesterday, with Kylie uploading two snaps to her Instagram.

The billionaire business mogul and her 27-year-old rapper beau, who are parents to five-months-old.Stormi, were interviewed by Mark Anthony Green and they spilled a lot of goss.

A post shared by Kylie (@kyliejenner) on

The pair revealed that they never had a proper first date, as they met at Coachella where she decided to join Travis on his tour bus. As you do. 

'“So he said, ‘I'm going back on tour—what do we want to do about this? And I was like, ‘I guess I'm going with you,’'' Kylie told the magazine

Obviously, social media blew up in response to this shoot – and everyone has an opinion. 

Some fans were focused on how they were styled, wth one writing, ''Travis Scott's net worth is estimated at $8M. By Forbes’ estimate Kylie’s net worth is $900M. That’s more than her ENTIRE family w/Kanye combined yet via photo shoot, GQ endorsed reducing Kylie to a lap trophy/sex object. And women wonder WHY the equality struggle is real.''

Many others loved the photos though, and Instagram was filled with comments of support.

''You two are the absolute dream couple'' followed by heart-eyes emoji's said one, and another wrote, ''Kylie looks very happy with Travis. They both suit each other.''

Kylie, who has made a pretty $900million from Kylie Cosmetics, recently hit headlines due to comedy page The Fat Jew who set up a GoFundMe page to get to $1 billion (yes, really). 

''I don't want to live in a world where Kylie Jenner doesn't have a billion dollars. WE MUST RAISE 100 MILLION DOLLARS TO HELP HER GET TO A BILLION, PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD, THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. LINK IN BIO TO DONATE,'' it wrote.

Understandably, people were p*ssed off.

''Wow didn't know this level of stupidness actually existed,'' one person commented on the post.

We think that – somehow – Kylie will manage to scrape together bus fare without our help, don't you?

Miley Cyrus has her fans up in arms about why she has deleted her Instagram posts.

The singer has also changed her profile picture to a black circle on the gram, Twitter and her website. – Interesting.

We have no idea what this could possibly mean, so we turned to the Internet for answers. – Cue all the fan theories.

 

Some have dared to dream that new music could be imminent.

Others are speculating that it's the end of the singers and Liam Hemsworth relationship. – (Although, we are completely refusing to believe this, or all love is forever dead.)

However, we will miss all the ADORABLE pictures she posted of them. 

Sticking to the more plausible music theory, Miley will be following in the footsteps of Taylor Swift if she uses the social media blackout as a way to drop new tracks. 

Tay-tay famously wiped her socials before the release of her album 'reputation'.

Here is hoping we are spoilt with some new tunes – to say we are excited – is an understatement.

Love Island lothario Adam Collard caused havoc while in the villa with his women-hopping antics.

And now that he's been booted off the show, it doesn't look like anything's changed. 

The Geordie, 22, may have been declaring his love for fellow contestant Zara McDermott, 21, on Aftersun last night, but it looks like he still isn't completely over his former flame Rosie Williams, 26.

Adam and Rosie didn't get off to the smoothest of starts, with the hunk dumping Kendall Rae-Knight to recouple with the Welsh solicitor. 

However, things didn't last long between the pair after Zara entered the villa and immediately turned Adam's head.

We didn't see that one coming, said literally no-one.

It seemed like Adam and Zara were the Real Deal though, mainly due to the fact that he didn't seem interested in any new girls…probably because no new girls came in before she was kicked out of the villa. 

Cynical, us? Never.

However true love does exist everyone, because now that Adam and Zara are both out, they're posting loved up pics on Instagram, like the one below.

It just doesn't sound like him, does it?

According to The Mirror, "it just shows what a rat he is. Rosie cannot believe he's got in touch when he's been banging on about Zara."

A rep for Adam was quick to quash any whispers of a romantic reunion, stating that he was simply ''wishing her 'good luck' and with a view to 'staying friends'.'' Hmmm.

If we were Zara we wouldn't be going overboard with those romantic Insta snaps just yet….

Kylie Jenner is known for many things. 

Her lip gloss range, her reality TV show, the fact that she's part of one of the most famous showbiz families on the planet…oh and her now-iconic full pout. 

While she initially denied having anything done to her lips, she admitted all in 2017 on her show Life of Kylie

She told Complex magazine at the time that, ''it has been an insecurity of mine all my life. I felt like no one wanted to kiss me.”

Explaining why she had originally lied about the cosmetic work, she explained that she had panicked.

''What are all those moms going to think about me? These kids, my fans, they’re going to think I’m crazy. I didn't’ want to be a bad influence. I didn't’t want people to think you had to get your lips done to feel good about yourself.''

However, it seems that she has had a change of heart.

In the past, she admitted that she might have gotten carried away with the injections.

“When you first get them done, you’re like, ‘Oh, it could be a little bit bigger on that side.’ I’d go back and be like, ‘They went down’ and think they could be bigger. But I went too far.”

While people were purely speculating about the Insta snaps at first, Kylie then confirmed her different look by saying, ''I got rid of all my filler'' followed by worried emojis.

Kyle recently spoke about how her baby Stormi had not inherited her lips, but has big beautiful eyes. 

She told friend Jordyn Woods during a YouTube Q&A that, ''she has the biggest eyes ever. The one thing I was insecure about, she has. She has the most perfect lips in the whole entire world. She ain't get those from me. Thank her dad for those.''
