Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes have snapped back at haters making fun of the way they kiss, deciding to lock lips in an Instagram video that gets…sloppy.

Shawn explains:

"So we saw on Twitter and stuff, you guys saying about the way we were kissing and how it looks weird. Like we kiss like fish,” Mendes tells the camera in a clip posted to Instagram.

Camila adds that it ‘really hurt our feelings’. Shawn added; "We just want to show you how we really kiss." The couple then go in for the kill, and we died a slow death from that point onwards.

They basically mash their faces together, with Shawn even putting his hand on the back of the singer's neck at one point, but the laughter gets the better of them and they pull apart.

If they wanted to break the internet they’ve succeeded, as the clip has fetched over three million views in two hours. Their sales from Señorita must be sky-high at this stage.

Celebrities (Niall Horan) had plenty to say in the comments section, but Twitter users couldn't keep their horror to themselves;

"I just saw Camilla cabello and Shawn Mendes kiss in the most horrific, tragic, and disgusting way". We reckon 'tragic' is too harsh a word to use, but we admit to being frightened by the sloppiness.

There were, of course, numerous tweets about eyeballs needing cleansing;

"Why is this on my timeline again, I don't deserve such treatment," another internet user wrote- referencing Arthur memes for good measure;

The classic confused girl GIF popped up as well, not to be missed;

We wonder how fish feel about being compared to two of the most currently successful artists in the game? Nemo is probably chuffed.

At the same time, why is there so much hate about their style of kissing? They're two happy youngsters in the prime of their lives falling in love, yet people are disgusted by their smooches;

Maybe we're all just jealous that Shawn Mendes is now a taken man, or that Camila Mendes is a taken woman. 

#Shawmila fans have been speculating about their relationship since the release of their collaborative tune, and they have been pictured shifting the face off each other on numerous occasions.

They also put on a steamy performance at the VMAs this year, but 22-year-old Camila recently said she refuses to talk about their relationship because she wants to ‘protect’ it.

"I never want to open the door for people to feel like they are involved. I want it to be mine and his. That’s why I’m so tight-lipped about it: because I want to protect it," she said.

The Havana singer told ELLE:

"Love is the most sacred, precious thing to me. I want to always feel like my love is between me and that person, and never belonging to anyone else. As much as I love my fans, and as much as I love people, I like to live my life as normally as possible," she said.

"In a relationship, it makes me feel uncomfortable to invite everyone in on that.'

Kissing is fun, everybody knows that. But who would have known that the act of smooching can actually give you HEALTH BENEFITS? 

Does it heal your broken heart, clear your skin and boost your immune system? You're about to find out.

Strap yourselves in ladies, here are each and every glorious health benefit of puckering up. You should probably find someone to practice on…you know, for the sake of your body. It's a temple, isn't it?

Just don't do it like this:

mr bean love GIF

According to a 2009 scientific study, when we kiss somebody, our bodies release hormones which can actually ease stress. In the case of men, it increases bonding too. We love a good bromance alert.

Oral healthcare, anyone?

Now, we're not saying that you shouldn't brush your teeth or use mouthwash, but allegedly, a good kiss marathon is great news for your teeth and gums. How? Listen up:

Andréa Demirjian, author of Kissing: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know about One of Life’s Sweetest Pleasures, explains:

“When you’re kissing, you’re secreting more saliva in your mouth. That’s the mechanism that washes away the plaque on your teeth that leads to cavities.” A shift a day keeps the dental plaque away, girlos.

It acts as a painkiller (Seriously)

Your achy, break-y heart deserves some attention. Especially when you've got some form of cramps, like your time of the month.

Apparently, some lip action actually helps to reduce the effects of chronic pain. Some savvy scientists at Current Pharmaceutical Design conducted some research into smooching, learned that the “cuddle hormone” oxytocin is packed full of analgesic painkilling properties.

Oxytocin s released whenever you kiss and hug your partner, so do it as much as possible, we say. Blood vessel dilation after a good kissing sesh is great for reducing aches and pains, so when you're on your period, pucker up. You NEED it, right?

Hayfever or Bae-fever?

Anyone who suffers from allergies can rejoice at this news; apparently kissing eases itchy eyes and snotty noses (ew).

Researchers at Satou Hospital in Japan investigated the protective effect of kissing against allergies, and claim that locking lips for only 30 minutes can do wonders for the immune system.

It decreases the release of histamine (the chemical which is produced in response to allergens) as it relaxes you, and also can work miracles for eczema sufferers. Is there anything a great shift can't do?

No pressure, honeys

So apparently, kissing can even reduce your blood pressure? We've all felt butterflies in our stomachs and a weakening of the ol' knees, as well as a quickening heartbeat, and now we've figured out that kissing passionately does even more:

Demirjian explains: “It gets your heartbeat revved in a healthy way that lowers your blood pressure. It dilates the blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more freely, taking pressure off your organs, especially your heart and brain.”

Hot Diggedy Damn, we're 100 percent HERE for this science.

Feel Better In Love GIF

Let's talk about sex, baby, let's talk about you + me

Your sex life gets some HELLA drastic improvements from kissing; the two go together like Grace & Frankie, like women and vibrators, like Netflix and chill. You get the idea.

Kissing is also WAY more likely to increase your chances of having an orgasm. Lord knows we could use some of those…

As Carol Queen, the staff sexologist at Good Vibrations, explains;

“Kissing is a powerful type of foreplay… it helps increase the chances that both partners will have a good and pleasurable erotic experience.”

Face the Facts

So BASICALLY, kissing involves more than 30 facial muscles, which can be given a major workout from a good kiss.

According to Demirjian, tongue wrestling can strengthen your neck and jawline – very good news, as these are particularly tricky spots to exercise on a daily basis.

“Your mouth has a number of facial muscles,” she says. “When those are engaged in kissing, you can tighten and tone them.”

Tighten and tone, you say? Sign us up.

muscles what GIF

2019 Mood

A perfectly-timed kiss can be the ideal mood booster. If scientists are saying it, then it must be true, right?

Puckering up can give your body a big-time release of happiness hormones, such as serotonin, oxytocin and dopamine. Ooh la la.

Those hormonal bad boys can help you relax, restore and revitalise your system. What more could you need?

NOW do you believe us about scientific research? 

Grab that lad or lassie and get your smooch on, it's for your own benefit, and theirs too.

Your doctor has officially given you one prescription to visit the LOVE shack *winks* 

Get it, gurrrlllll…

Well, well well…what do we have here. Only a stunning new couple alert, and we've got the receipts to prove it.

Singers Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello have been photographed holding hands and kissing in Hollywood, and it's damn cute if we do say so ourselves.

The pair have just collaborated on new single Seniorita, but have long been quashing those dating rumours throughout their friendship, always insisting they're just friends.

The pair have since re-ignited speculation that they're more than just mates after being spotted out and about walking hand-in-hand and appearing to kiss (though a pesky cactus is in the way).

The two can be seen smiling as they walk side-by-side, with Shawn looking stylish in a striped shirt and Camila sporting a chic black jumpsuit.

Shawn is holding Camila's handbag for her because of course he's a gentleman. We can't cope.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by (@shawmilaita) on

According to Entertainment Tonight, Camila and Shawn were heading back to his Hollywood home and when they reached his front door it seems like they're kissing behind a cactus.

An Instagram Story was shared by a fan account the day before showing the pair snuggled up beside each other near a swimming pool, with her hands on his back as he dipped his hands in the water.

Many people are questioning whether this is all part of an elaborate PR stunt to promote their new single, Seniorita?

In the steamy video, the pair get pretty up close and personal with each other as she played a waitress who catches Shawn's eye.

The scenes feature plenty of sexy dancing, rolling around on a bed and Shawn zooming off on his trusty motorcycle, leaving poor Camila in the dust.

What do you think, are they just pretending or secretly in love?

The Jordyn Woods/Kardashian clan drama continues…

It's only been a few weeks since we last heard an update about what on EARTH is going on between Woods and her former BFF, Kylie Jenner.

The scandal that broke a few months ago involving Khloe Kardashian's ex, Tristan Thompson, and Woods kissing seemingly broke apart their friendship.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Kylie (@kyliejenner) on

Kylie has now made a subtle change to her social media, which throws more than a few forest of shade at Woods in the process.

The profile image featuring the former duo comes from a Kylie Cosmetics collaboration they did together and the products from that same collab had gone on sale in the wake of the news that Jordyn and Tristan had “hooked up.” Weird.

Kylie has now changed the image to one of just herself, mainly giving a stare that could give Bran Stark a run for his money.

Image credit: Twitter/@KylieJenner

Kylie is in the middle of promoting new goods, and the new banner picture is most definitely from the promo images. It could be possible that the new image wasn't intended to be shade at all, but this is the Kardashians we're talking about.

Shade is part of their careers. The last update we had was when Jordyn spoke to paparazzi at LAX airport about her love for Kylie over a week ago, with her mum offering plenty of good wishes for the make-up mogul.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Kylie (@kyliejenner) on

In a video by TMZ, Jordyn was asked point-blank whether she would be "willing to rekindle the friendship and try to make things right with Kylie." Woods replied saying, "I have love for everyone."

Her mum was more direct. "We love Kylie," she said, with Jordyn quipping , "Always."

We'll see where this goes, but it doesn't look great for the model.

Winter can be an absolute pain when it comes to your precious lips. We need them for so many things, especially kissing for Valentine's Day, but the bitterly baltic weather does it's best to dry them out.

We were intrigued by the science behind it, so asked Marie Therese, Head of Training with Graham Anthony Distribution, for the 411 on why our lips lose their coveted moisture.

She explained that our lips can become very dry because our lips do not have working sebaceous glands, which would serve the purpose of keeping our lips moist. Harsh conditions and ageing are also key factors.

So, leaving aside those less than fond memories of the local teenage disco, chances are you haven't banged heads with someone you're about to kiss in a long time.

Not that you have to think about it too hard, it just sort of happens that way – you'll go one way, they'll go the other and well, you know the rest.

But as it turns out, there's actually a scientific reason why.

New research has found that people are actually hard-wired to tilt their heads to the right when kissing a romantic partner.

Researchers asked 48 married couples in Bangladesh to kiss privately in their own home and compile an independent report on different aspects of the kiss – and the results were very interesting indeed.

The study revealed that men were about 15 times more likely to initiate a kiss with 79 reporting they had done so.

What's more, two thirds of all participants (both initiators and receivers) subconsciously chose to turn their heads to the right when going in for the kill.

Dr Rezaul Karim, from the department of psychology at the University of Dhaka said:

“This is the first study to show sex differences in the initiation of kissing, with males more likely being the initiator, and also that the kiss initiators’ head-turning direction tends to modulate the headturning direction in the kiss recipients.”

The findings also revealed that the direction the kiss initiator chose strongly predicted that of the recipient, as well as whether the person was right or left handed.

“This further suggests the underlying cognitive mechanisms of the act of kissing and head turning,” the authors said. 

“Though this action tends to be performed intuitively, a decision must be made about the direction to which the partners should lean to kiss each other.”

This study was particularly unique given that kissing is censored from film and television in Bangladesh meaning that the results were in no way influenced by cultural factors or copying.

“Prior works could not rule out cultural learning due to having western samples. It turns out, we as humans are similar even if our social values differ,” Dr Michael Proulx, from the department of psychology at the University of Bath added.

Whatever the reason, we're just glad that kissing-head-collisions aren't a thing we have to worry about.

Look, we're all unique. What appeals to one, might not appeal to the other.

Some couples love PDA, other couples despise it. Some couples have sex three times a week and others, three times a month. It's all to do with preference, right?

Image result for kissing gif

So, when we saw this study, which exposed the 'ideal kissing length', we were a tad confused… because, can you really time it? And who cares?

The study involved a Facebook Live video, produced by Virgin Atlantic, which saw a couple kissing in an airport.

Virgin Atlantic asked its viewers to send a shocked-face emoji at the moment they thought was time the kiss should end… and that was 12 seconds in.

The video had over 36,000 viewers and 628 reactions, which we'll admit is a fair amount.

But, you know what? Kiss longer, kiss shorter, kiss all night long… do whatever you want to do.

Emily Ratajkowski was certainly turning heads this week when she attended the MLB National League Champion Series.

She went to the event with her boyfriend, Jeff Magid and they looked very loved up together, posing for pictures and hugging each other throughout the day.

Fans tried to get a few pictures with the model, but she kissed her beau right in front of them!

Emily has been linked to Jeff since 2014, but the couple like to keep their relationship on the DL.

It seems that Jeff likes to keep himself on the DL also, as there's not a lot of information about him other than he's a musician.

We're delighted for Emily, though. It's nice to be all loved up!

If you've ever opened your eyes in the middle of a kiss, you'll know how weird it feels… and looks.

And while the vast majority of us tend to shut the peepers when we go in for the shift, not many of us know exactly why this is our default response.

If you've ever found yourself pondering this, ponder no more.

According to research conducted by Royal Holloway, University of London, we close our eyes when we kiss because we want to concentrate on our sense of touch.

In a study published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, researchers explain that we fear lessening the intensity of the kiss by over-stimulating other senses like our eyesight.

"Tactile awareness depends on the level of perceptual load in a concurrent visual task," explained cognitive psychologists Polly Dalton and Sandra Murphy. "These results could explain why we close our eyes when we want to focus attention on another sense."

"Shutting out the visual input leaves more mental resources to focus on other aspects of our experience," they added.

God, we're a right bunch of romantics.
