Selena Gomez raises eyebrows with surprise confession

Celebrity

Sep 5, 2014

This is a little surprising to say the least!

Despite a lot of evidence pointing to the fact that she and Justin Bieber are once again an item, Selena maintains she does NOT have a boyfriend.

Yes, that’s right, according to the singer, she is single!

The singer and actress made the admission at the NEO Adidas fashion show in New York this week, saying: “I live for a good boyfriend t-shirt even if I don’t have one.”

Erm, we think you might, Selena! Unless all of that kissing and cuddling was just as friends?!

Perhaps the two have fallen out (again) given that the Biebs was arrested (again) last weekend while with Selena.

Well, she didn’t think it was going to end well, did she?

Rory McIlroy has had a crazy few months, not just on the golfing course but on the romantic front too!

Following his engagement with tennis player, Caroline Wozniacki coming to an abrupt end back in May, Rory was then linked to Irish model, Nadia Forde.

Now, it looks like Rory has taken his interests stateside as he has been spotted with whom Radar Online are calling his possible new “girlfriend” – actress, Meghan Markle.

Meghan stars as paralegal, Rachel Zane in the USA Network drama, Suits.

The pair were seen out for dinner with friends recently, which may not seem like a confirmation (obviously) but Rory also featured in Meghan’s ALS bucket challenge video, after nominating her himself.

To add even more fuel to the romance rumours, Meghan runs a lifestyle website called The Tig in which she conducted an interview with Rory and well, let's just say it's very cute!

Hmm, could this be the start of something new for the two?

10 signs you have exited the honeymoon phase

Relationships

Sep 4, 2014

by Amber Saunders

So, when you first get into a new relationship, or start seeing someone, it’s exciting. Exciting, and nerve wrecking. Here are a few signs that you are well and truly over that stage.

1. Bodily Functions

You both break wind in front of each other and act like nothing happened – this includes farting.

2. Eating

You will eat anything, and everything, and not care how unattractive you look. The more food you can fit in your mouth at once, the better.

3. Time Passes

You can go a day or two without speaking, and it doesn’t bother either of ye.

4. Hand Holding

The need to hold hands/have a hand draped around shoulders as you walk down the street is gone. You may notice that this makes life easier for anyone else wanting to use the footpath.

5. PDA

FINALLY you've grown out of the ‘must-shift-the-face-off-each-other-in-public’ phase. This makes every single pringle on the planet happy, keep up the good work!

6. Sex

It changes. Not to say it becomes bad or boring, it just lacks spontaneity, and sometimes can be a little too like an army drill. No charm necessary, take your clothes off and await the intercourse.

7. Borrowing clothes

You don’t wear his shirt to be sexy, you wear it because its the first thing you came to when you rolled out of bed.

8. Friends & Family

You can only pretend to like your other half's friends for so long. After a while of dating you’ll begin to let your true feelings show. He probably knows his mate Dave is an asshole already, you’re just reminding him…

9. Your friends start to like you again

Now that you don’t talk about him/herself all of the time, your friends will be much more readily available to spend some time with you. Welcome back!

10. You don’t care

You’re perfectly comfortable with your other half seeing you without make-up and sometimes even with sudocreme slathered all over your face.

It has been reported that Ciara has gotten back together with her ex-fiancé, Future!

The singer ended the engagement last month after allegations that Future was cheating on her with his stylist.

TMZ report that the reason behind their reconciliation is that Ciara wishes to work out their issues for the sake of their baby son, Future Jr.

Ciara and Future were engaged for only seven months when she found out about the alleged affair and ended things.

The affair and cheating allegations had not been addressed by Ciara as of yet, although she did blast an article by US Weekly she says had nothing to do with her break-up.

Hmm, we hope things work out for the best and Future can keep himself from straying in the…er, future!

If One Direction fans have their way, Harry Styles and Miley Cyrus could be the new hot couple in town!

In a recent poll, it was found that Miley was the one woman Harry’s fans would most like to see him with!

Well, we certainly didn’t see that one coming!

Miley beat many other strong contenders in the poll conducted by Plusnet such as Katy Perry, Taylor Swift (been there), Selena Gomez and Kendall (been there too). Oh, she also beat Nigella Lawson too.

Of all these women, Miley came out on top – could there be a future romance on the cards?

Remember the time Miley snuggled up to Harry’s cardboard cutout?

Then again, we all do that, right?

Or that time Harry dressed up as Miley for Halloween?

We sense some lovin’ on the horizon…

Geordie Shore star, Charlotte Crosby, has opened up about her recent break-up.

Charlotte had been with boyfriend, Mitch Jenkins for over a year and a half, before he ended things – over text…!

The reality TV star opened up to MailOnline about the difficult break-up, saying they were supposed to be having a chat regarding their relationship: “I was meant to be calling him at 9pm. And I just got a message on my phone saying ‘Charlotte, it’s obvious you don’t want to be with me anymore, so i’ll just cut the bullsh** and I’ll finish things now.”

Charlotte was left heartbroken when she then had to enter the Geordie Shore house without her mobile and the two haven’t spoken since: “It was a bit upsetting when I came out of the house and he didn’t even try and text me. That hurt me the most. We haven’t spoken since.”

Poor Char – we wonder if Gary will be there to comfort her?! There could be trouble ahead…!

13 things you shouldn’t do while dating

Relationships

Sep 3, 2014

by Amber Saunders

Dating in the modern age has changed with the introduction of Tinder and numerous dating websites. When it comes to meeting them in person there are still a few things that haven’t changed. It could be that we expect too much and then when our hopes are dashed we wonder why. The main thing is to enjoy yourself and if things go well then good, but if they don’t, you just move on to the next one. Here are the dating mistakes that people are still making.

1. Being too quick to judge
So you finally meet them and they’re not Prince Charming, they may not look the same as their Tinder picture either. Don’t judge a book by it’s cover and actually give them a chance. If you’re already closed minded before you even talk to them, you will be in a negative state of mind. Get to know them a little bit before you make sweeping assumptions about who they are.

2. Forcing the conversation
Of course you want to get to know each other, but don’t make it awkward by forcing the conversation. Awkward silences are natural when you don’t know someone that well, it even happens when you do. Let the conversation go where it’s meant to go and don’t try so hard to fill the gaps.

3. Getting over attached
On the opposite end of the spectrum of being too quick to judge is getting over attached. You might be attracted to them or like their personality, but get to know a bit more before falling head over heels. See where they are at and what they think of you before committing to them.

4. Only focusing on yourself
Even though they might ask you about yourself, the conversation shouldn’t always revolve around you. Ask them about themselves and what their interests are and you never know you might have some things in common.

5. Building a wall
I’m not saying you should reveal every little detail about your life to them, but if you're closed off and guarded people will be less receptive. Tell them what you do and don’t like and you never know they could be similar to you. If you’re always afraid of letting your guard down it will be hard for both of you to get to know each other.

6. Having high expectations
This is one of the more common complaints about modern dating, everyone has such high expectations. It’s important to understand exactly what is meant by this and that it doesn’t mean lower your standards. It’s all to do with you and how you perceive others. Stop looking for the perfect match, and rather look for an acquaintance and go from there.

7. Comparing them to your ex
No one and I mean no one wants to hear about your ex when you’re dating someone. It’s in the past, you have moved on and it’s time to meet someone new. They will think that you still have feelings for them, it can make things really awkward for the other person. Steer clear of the topic and things should be plain sailing.

8. Coming off as desperate
Ok, so maybe you haven’t been on a date in a while, you might have fallen out with the idea. If you get back on the horse again try not to come off as desperate. People can smell desperation and it will be quite obvious if you really want to be in a relationship.

9. Leaving nothing to the imagination
We have Facebook nowadays, so we can check on people to see what they're like. It’s ok to check in and see what kind of person they are, but leave something for the imagination. Don’t obsess over every status and tweet as if it’s showing what kind of person they are. Once you have done your snooping leave the rest for you to find out for yourself.

10. Hearing only what you want to hear
You might not always be interested in what they are talking about, but take the time and listen, you never know, you might learn something. People are under the illusion that if you don’t exactly like the same things then you’re not right for each other. They can teach you new things and you might learn to like something you never thought you would.

11. Assuming that they don’t want a relationship
This is more for girls and how they think that every guy just wants to get into bed with you. Granted, there are some guys that do, but there are some guys that like you and want to get to know someone and possibly strike up a relationship with them. There is a difference between meeting someone on a night out and going on a date with them.

12. Over analysing calls and texts
So things went well and you exchanged numbers with each other, this is either when things start to get serious or they fizzle out. Don’t over analyse every little thing they do to you, odds are they actually mean it and there is no secret code that you have to try and decipher.

13. Leaving your friends by the way side
No matter how long you have been in a relationship, it is important to have time to hang out with your friends. Don’t spend every waking moment with your love interest and then you end up breaking up a month later. Try and find a balance between the two and you won’t feel like anything is missing from your life.

11 signs your ex has well and truly moved on

Uncategorized

Sep 2, 2014

by Amber Saunders

Sometimes a break up can seem like a rash decision and when you think about it, you see it was probably a mistake. Even though you might feel this way, your ex could feel completely different and has actually started to move on. At first you might have kept getting back together, but it seems like this time it’s really over. Here are the signs that your ex has finally moved on:

1. You’re always the one that contacts them
If you ring them, sure they might talk to you and humour you, but you seem to be one that always rings them. If they were still interested in you they would initiate things and take the time to get onto you.

2. They treat you like a friend
When they’re around you, they act as if you are one of their friends. They don’t single you out from the group or pay special attention to you. There clearly comfortable with just being friends, and are trying to help you be comfortable with that.

3. They don’t make any physical contact
If you are still attracted to someone you won’t shy away from physical contact, if they have moved on then they don’t initiate it. Their body language can say a lot as well and if they don’t stand close to you, then they don’t see you the same way anymore.

4. They always seem to be preoccupied with something
If they were into you, they would make time for you, but if they are always busy with something then they have moved on to other things. They don’t shy away from telling you what their up to and how happy they are.

5. They don’t show any signs of regret
Break-ups are never easy and sometimes after the dust has settled you can see things more clearly. If they don’t seem to be affected by it or don’t express any regret, it’s likely that they have turned the corner.

6. You don’t see them as often as you used to
If you have mutual friends that you hang out with, then you might not see them as much. You might seem them out every now and again, but most of the time they are with other people.

7. If they’re not uncomfortable being around you
Anytime you do see them, they seem to be comfortable in your presence. This is a very clear sign, if they still had feelings for you they would be a little nervous and apprehensive after what happened between you.

8. They don’t get emotional around you
If they don’t seem to be emotionally attached or express their feelings with you, then they have taken the next step. If they still had feelings for you, they might open up or talk about how they are feeling. If they’re emotionallly distant it’s definitley a sign that they have moved on.

9. They post loads of photos of themselves on Facebook
If they post loads of photos of themselves with other people, they are trying to show you that they have moved on. They don’t need you anymore and they are enjoying life as it is. As bitter a pill as it is to swallow, this is a sure sign that they are leaving you behind.

10. If they talk about other girls they’ve met
If they still felt something for you, then they wouldn’t bring up other people they like, when they’re talking to you. If they are comfortable with telling you about someone they meet, then they clearly only see you as a friend.

11. They are seeing someone else
People break up and get back together, so they could be with someone for a while and realise they want you back. If they have been seeing some for quite a while, then there is clearly no going back. They have found someone else and you’re no longer in the picture anymore. You need to get over it.

15 things you learn from your boyfriend

Uncategorized

Sep 1, 2014

by Amber Saunders

There are certain things about men that can only figured out after being with one for a considerable amount of time. To say that they’re an odd species would be a serious understatement. The phrase men are from Mars and women from Venus, only really sank in after about a year of being closely in contact with one on a regular basis. We deserve a medal, no joke.

1. Men Have Man Periods

FACT. Women get all the bad reputation for being moody and those moaning Michael’s get away scott free. It’s just not on really. Maybe it's sympathy cramps. How very kind of them.

2. Towels Apparently Dry Really Well On The Floor

Who needs a drying rack/clothes line when you have a floor, said every man ever.

3. Perfect Tea Makes The Perfect Man

If he can make you a great cup of tea then the rest can be taught along the way. If, however, he’s one of those sickos who puts the milk into the cup first then do yourself a favour and cut him loose now. Tea is no laughing matter, after all.

4. His Friends Bring Out His Idiot Side On A Whole New Level

One minute he’s all loving and sensitive and shit, the next he’s harping on about boobs with the lads and you don’t really know where to look. Simply whip out the last soppy message he sent you and the lads can join you in berating him for being a sellout. Winning.

5. Dominos Plus A Film Equals The Best Date Ever

At the start he tried to impress you by pulling out all the stops. Dinner in somewhere with actual place-mats, a great film, some inventive and interesting activities. Then he got you officially and considered pizza and tracksuit bottoms to be a big deal. Admit it though, you kind of like it.

6. Men Who Can Cook Are A Rare And Exotic Breed

If you have managed to land one of these, then hold on tight. Also, men who can actually cook like to do so all by themselves. Meaning we can sit back and get our latest tv fix. What’s not to like?

7. Conflict Is Sometimes The Only Way To Communicate

Men are sometimes so blind to their surroundings that you’d practically have to wipe your tears on him for him to realise that you’re upset. So failing that, a little shouting/door slamming is bound to get his attention.

8. Men Don’t Feel The Need To Share Plans

This is a very cleverly conducted plan about planning. It’s always because they’re planning something that they know is likely to infuriate you. For example: “I’m going out tonight with some girls from work”, said as he’s going out the door. Remain calm.

9. Football

This needs nothing more then that one word. Football has become the bane of my life. “Want to do something?” “Ok, once the match is over.” Ugh.

10. Being Farted On

It takes a little while to actually get to this stage but once you do, there’s no going back. Women apparently fart fairy dust and glitter. Men fart 75 times a day. Each with a growing sense of pride and worsening smell.

11. A Snoring Sleeper

You’re just drifting off to the land of slumber. Drifting, drifting, drift…Oh wait, he’s started to snore like a pig in heat and no matter how many times you hit him, he won’t shut up. The same goes for the twitchers, talkers and sleepwalkers.

12. Being Poked Awake

You’ve finally fallen asleep beside sow man himself, when, about one hour later (or so it feels), you’re woken up by what can only be described as a serious poke in the back. The morning glory is up and ready which means that you should be too, apparently. Swat it away.

13. They Never Really Stop Being Mammys Boys

You’ll never, ever be the number one woman in his life, not as long as his mother is around. She’s raised him, cared for him and loved him long before you ever came onto the scene, so the best thing you can do is try and get along with her.

14. Man Flu Is A Real Thing

Every girlfriend dreads hearing the words, “I don’t feel too good.” This generally means one thing, a serious and imminent onset of man flu. There is no known cure for man flu other than growing a pair and manning up. Preach.

15. Cover Control Is An Ongoing Battle

It’s battle of the fiercest out there. In bed. If you frequently wake up at the edge of the bed, cold and shivering beside your warm, starfishing slumber partner, than you my friend, have long since lost this battle.

Singer confesses she still loves her ex-fiancé

Celebrity

Sep 1, 2014

by Amber Saunders

Could there be a future for Miley Cyrus and her ex-fiancé, Liam Hemsworth?

Well, according to Miley, she still loves him! Not only that, but the Hollywood hottie apparently feels the same way about her!

Miley made the comments during an interview with Australia TV show, Sunday Night, when she was asked about her relationship with Liam: “I love Liam, Liam loves me.”

While Miley could have meant this in a positive, friendly way, neither Miley nor Liam have been in an official relationship since their break-up, perhaps this is why!

The singer also went on to describe the importance behind the hit single, Wrecking Ball, and what it meant for her relationship with Liam: “It’s about finding yourself. I had to set myself free.”

Miley began dating The Hunger Games actor back in 2009 and became engaged in 2012 before breaking up this time last year.

While Miley may divide a lot of opinion, they were super cute together so who know what could happen in the future?!

Is there anything quite like the Irish proposal? The nerves, the setting, the reaction, everything! Not that we're biased or anything, like.

This man decided to propose at the Aviva Staium, but it’s the lead-up to the proposal we loved best.

This girl knew something was up and with classic quotes like: “You seem like you’ve been drinking” and “you’ve a big f***ing cheeky grin on your face,” this has to be our favourite proposal video ever!

13 things we say to our boyfriends translated

When you’re in a relationship, being yourself and staying true to yourself is key, as unbelievably cheesy as that may sound. It’s far too easy after all, to lose a little part of yourself when you’re trying to accommodate another person into your daily schedule.

As close as you may be, there’s always going to be a tiny little something that you hold back, something that’s left unsaid or indeed, something that’s twisted in order to lessen the side effects (mainly silence) that it may cause. Here are 13 phrases that every couple use and what they really mean. So now you know…

1. “It’s up to you.”

I don’t care enough about this matter to argue, so therefore I’m handing the responsibility over to you in the hope that you will, for once, make the right decision.

2. “I’m fine, ok?”
