Ever since she appeared on Ex on the Beach and Celebrity Big Brother, there's been no denying Megan McKenna's fiery temper.

And it doesn't look that her experience in the public eye has done anything to rein it in if a recent Twitter outburst is anything to go by.

After sharing a snap of herself sipping on a drink while propping up a bar, the Essex-native tweeted: "Doing what I do best."

And while the post racked up likes from die-hard TOWIE fans, some Twitter users used the post to reference the star's messy relationship with fellow reality star Pete Wicks.

"Really? Coz Pete said you don't drink?" wrote one while another added: "Not according to Pete!"

"All you've done is drink since Pete said you didn't and was boring, very sad, be you!! Not what he wants," remarked yet another.

Instead of ignoring the remarks, Megan went off on one and replied: "You don't f*cking no me! I drank before. Keep your opinion to yourself you troll. I HATE people like you!"

Proving they have the reality star's back, many of Megan's fans were quick to set the record straight… well, kind of.

"You obviously never watch Ex on the Beach," wrote one. "She's always drank." while another added: "If i remember correctly, she drank before any of this, so your point is irrelevant tbh."

Well. good to know… ahem…

Remember the last time you were in such dire need of a chocolate fix, you helped yourself to a stranger's KitKat after letting yourself into their car?

Yeah, us neither.

And while there have been times we'd have stepped over our own mothers for half a Malteaser, we generally subscribe to the school of thought that stealing is wrong… even if you do own up to your actions in a note scrawled on a discarded napkin.

Highlighting the gall of some chocaholics, Hunter Jobbins took to Twitter to share a note which he found in his car after he left his vehicle unattended on college campus.

"Saw KitKat in your cup holder, I love Kit Kats so I checked your door and it was unlocked," read the note. "Did not take anything other than the KitKat. I am sorry and hungry."

Sounding worryingly used to this type of carry-on, Hunter tweeted: "Left my car for maybe 15 minutes in front of the dorms and I come back to this. College, man."

We're sorry, but this is not something we'd get over too quickly.

Thankfully, KitKat is with us on this one and swiftly replied to Hunter's post in an effort to make it up to him.

"Who steals someone's Kit Kat?! WHO DOES THAT?! Shoot us a DM and we'll replace it for you," they assured him.

Ya know what? We've had a few stolen on us in the past too…

OK, so we all know a couple's official wedding photographs have the potential to look a little… well… samey.

With many photographers following the same pattern for most couples, it's no surprise that many newlyweds want to shake up the process and inject a little individuality into proceedings.

But it looks like one couple's quest for a unique set of snaps backfired when they found themselves on the receiving end of serious abuse after sharing them online.

In a move not many of us would be rushing to replicate, Gareth Ferguson and his wife Toni decided to simulate a sex act as part of their official photos, and not everyone is impressed.

"People have told us it's disgusting, that we've lost the plot or have missed what a wedding is supposed to be about. Some have even called it porn," admitted Toni.

Offering an insight into their thought process, Gareth said: "The photo was both of our ideas. We wanted to do something a bit different."

"Nobody knew about it except the photographer. He found it hilarious when we told him what we wanted before the big day – he loved it."

While many couples would blanch at the prospect of posing for such an intimate shot, the newlyweds said they had a blast posing for the photo.

"We were in absolute hysterics. I'm glad you couldn't see her face and I had my back to my camera because we could not stop laughing." Gareth confirmed.

"Toni spent ages just staring at the floor giggling like a schoolgirl. I don't think she would have made it through any of the others I wanted to do. That was by far the tamest one."

According to the Irish Mirror, the couple have since removed the shot from Facebook after receiving countless negative comments.

While the X Factor is no stranger to novelty acts (Wagner, Stevie Ritchie and Jedward to name but three), it's not often you hear they receive special treatment from the production team, right?

In all fairness, most novelty acts have been used to stir up debate among viewers until they're eventually booted out and the contest can really get started.

But it looks like Honey G is the exception to the rule, with rumours flying that the aspiring rapper is being treated like royalty by members of the show's production team.

"Honey G‘s ego is out of control at the moment, she is the only contestant who gets her own dressing room and anything the G wants, the G gets," admitted a source.

Unsurprisingly, fellow contestants are feeling pretty put-out by the dynamic – something which Honey G apparently couldn't care less about.

"There is such an atmosphere backstage with Honey G going from being a really popular member of the team to the token favourite, and the other contestants are getting angry," the insider added.

Confirming the rumours, Honey G told radio presenter Scott Mills that she's the only contestant to be given her own private space in the multi-million pound house which the contestants share over the course of the show.

"I have my own room because I'm special like that. Hip hop stars who are rich and famous who've made it probably don't sleep in bunk beds," she reasoned during the interview.

Unlike other years when novelty acts were wheeled out and subjected to a barrage of criticism from the judges week in week out, Honey is the star of the show right now, and her treatment confirms that.

"She only has to click her fingers for water and the production assistants are all over her. Everyone else has to fend for themselves," the show's source added.

Imagine what it'll be like when she actually hits the big-time… ahem.

There are people who lovebomb their other halves at every available opportunity (Liam Payne, we're looking at you), and then there are other people who use Instagram to rip it out of their significant others.

Step forward, Jessica Biel.

In a move which will surely garner her a whole host of new fans, the actress decided to take the p*ss out of JT and his recent brush with the law.

Having snapped himself voting in the US presidential election, the Cry Me a River singer found himself on the wrong side of the law for violating a new Tennessee law which prohibits voters from using phones for any purpose while voting.

Reminding the public of her husband's misdemeanour, Jessica took a shot of herself rocking an 'I voted' sticker and gave a shout-out to Justin in the process.

"When you're so turnt up about voting that you do a photo shoot with your sticker and think it's cool but then second guess it, but you've already posted, but at least you waited to get home before snapping so you won't almost go to jail, shout out to@justintimberlake."

Jessica's post, which has clocked up more than 77,000 likes, has been inundated with comments from fans who loved her spin on the incident.

"Omg I'm dead! She is too funny," wrote one while another added: "Relationship goals."

The prospect of seeing a couple hit it off in the First Dates restaurant is one of the main reasons we tune into the popular Channel 4 show because, let's be honest, we have to endure some pretty awkward exchanges for the most part.

After watching one guy play the old 'I've left my credit card at home' trick in the latest episode, viewers were in dire need of a real spark, and thankfully, Ibiba and Aaron delivered on that front.

Hitting it off from the jump, the pair traded compliments and shared pretty intimate details of their lives with one another over dinner before revealing they would love to see each other again.

After getting together and meeting each other's children, the loved-up couple returned to the restaurant to share some pretty exciting news with viewers who championed their union – they're expecting a baby!

And Twitter had an absolute field day.

We'll be honest here – if someone decides to break out the Thriller dance, we're gonna need to see a lot of enthusiasm.

That iconic dance just doesn't cut it unless it's being performed with the same energy Jacko and the crew gave it back in the day.

So, when President Obama and the First Lady decided to give it a bash during a Halloween event in the White House over the weekend, they didn't quite blow us away.

Looking kind of reluctant to fully let their hair down, the couple gave a fairly lacklustre performance, but look, they tried all the same, right?

And while the vast majority of us see the sweetness behind the impromptu routine, not everyone is as willing to offer props.

Commenting on the footage which hit YouTube yesterday, one member of the public wrote: "That's exactly how much effort he puts into his presidency too."

"This is the lowest energy "Thriller Dance" I have ever seen. Sad!" commented one YouTube user.

"The Obama's have no passion for anything American," remarked one while another added: "They should be packing and moving out. Time to go dance your way out of office."

The video has racked up more than 55,000 hits in less than a day, but there's no denying the Obamas have divided the public on this one.

While Adele recently revealed she would love to give her son Angelo a sibling, it sounds like the much-loved star doesn't intend to rush into it given the struggles she endured following her first pregnancy.

Opening up about her experience of postnatal depression, Adele told Vanity Fair that the months following her son's birth in 2013 have had a lasting impact.

"I had really bad postpartum depression after I had my son and it frightened me," she admitted in the recent interview.

Adele, who turned 28 in May, admitted that her prior knowledge of the condition didn't tally with her experience of it.

"My knowledge of postpartum – or postnatal, as well call it in England – is that you don’t want to be with your child; you’re worried you might hurt your child, you’re worried you weren’t doing a good job."

"But I was obsessed with my child. I felt very inadequate, I felt like I’d made the worst decision of my life… it can come in many different forms," she explained.

Offering an insight into the methods she used to navigate the condition, Adele explained that she allocated a certain time in the week to focus solely on herself.

"Eventually I just said, I’m going to give myself an afternoon a week, just to do whatever the f**k I want without my baby," she said.

"A friend of mine said, ‘Really? Don’t you feel bad?’ I said, I do but not as bad as I’d feel if I didn’t do it," she reasoned.

According to emerging reports, Adele is planning to wed partner of five years Simon Konecki.

Commenting on the union, a source close to the couple said: "They won't make a big song and dance about it, that's not the way either of them are, and you won't see Adele walking around with a huge diamond on her finger flaunting it."

"But they're ready to take the next step and are both very excited about the prospect," they added.

Not long after Cheryl Cole's BFF, Kimberly, implied that her former band mate was currently celebrating some wonderful news, Olly Murs weighed in on the are they/ aren't they discussion, and added serious fuel to the fire.

Having been quizzed about the couple's relationship and potential baby announcement during a recent celeb event, Olly didn't do much to suggest the press and public were barking up the wrong tree when it came to Cheryl's changing figure.

While sounding like he didn't want to reveal too much, Olly still managed to stoke the flames by suggesting an announcement might be on the horizon.

"Honestly, listen, it's Cheryl and Liam's business… all the press are making speculation and rumours, but I'm sure when they feel confident and want to come out and tell everyone they will."

Like Kimberly, Olly was keen to remind people that the couple are entitled to keep any potential news to themselves.

"It's their own business and I'm sure they'll be fantastic parents if they are, so I wish them all the best," he added.

Hmmm, we're thinking Olly knows more than he's letting on.

So, as we all know, Justin Bieber is currently on the Irish leg of his Purpose World Tour.

And while you might assume he'd spend the weekend holed up in his hotel preparing his vocal chords, he was in actual fact topping up his tan in a Grafton Street salon.

After spotting the Canadian star, one Dublin fan decided to ask for a quick photograph… and let's just say it didn't go to plan.

Ignored by the Love Yourself singer on the busy Dublin street, Keith Casey was told repeatedly by the Bieb's bodyguard to give it up, and it sounds like a lot of the general public is with Biebs on this one.

After suggesting that he should have taken no for an answer the first time around, Keith responded to criticism on Instagram.

"For all the negative comments, I was not following Justin Bieber around Dublin! I actually have a life," he began.

"I had finished work and decided to do a sunbed, on my way down the stairs a big black dude (bodyguard) passed me and two seconds later Justin Bieber," Keith explained.

"Once it sank in as to who I just brushed shoulders with I stood outside waiting to ask him for a photo. I was the ony one who knew he was in there and on Grafton St!"

While Keith commended the star's security, he wasn't as complimentary when it came to Biebs himself.

"Justin got aggressive as you can see in my video. No need for it," Keith wrote. "My sister camped outside Ticketmaster for 24 hours to get a ticket to his show and this is is his attitude."

Well Justin, you've only gone and done it now.

Labouring over a college paper is not something many of us have ever relished.

From spending hours in the library researching the topic to pulling an all-nighter to get it in on time, preparing and ultimately completing an essay for university is no mean feat.

So, it's no real surprise that one female student from the States was left gobsmasked when her paper was returned to her with more than a passing implication that the work she handed up was not her own.

Tiffany Martinez took to Facebook to highlight her plight after her college professor suggested she had plagarised her paper by insisting that Tiffany would not have used the word 'hence' of her own accord.

No, seriously.

After being told to 'go back and indicate where she had copied and paste', Tiffany shared an image of the corrected paper online and wrote: "I was hurt badly this morning and publicly humiliated in front of my peers by a professor."

"They assumed I plagiarized my paper because it sounded too scholarly. How many degrees do I need for someone to believe I am an academic?" Tiffany asked.

In a blog post which followed the incident, Tiffany insisted that her professor's impression of the paper was based on her last name.

"My last name and appearance immediately instills a set of biases before I have the chance to open my mouth. These stereotypes and generalizations forced on marginalized communities are at times debilitating and painful," Tiffany wrote in a post which has been shared thousands of times.

"As a minority in my classrooms, I continuously hear my peers and professors use language that both covertly and overtly oppresses the communities I belong to. Therefore, I do not always feel safe when I attempt to advocate for my people in these spaces…My professor assumed someone like me would never use language like that."

"As I stood in the front of the class while a professor challenged my intelligence I could just imagine them reading my paper in their home thinking could someone like her write something like this?"

Tiffany's post has resonated with thousands online, with one social media user writing: "I got an ‘F’ with the word ‘PLAGIARIZED’ written at the top in bold red letters."

"She proceeded to yell at me and tell me to shut up (in front of my peers) when I protested,” they continued. “I’m 30 and I still think of that sometimes."

According to BuzzFeed, Tiffany has not spoken with the professor since the incident, but the incident has been brought to the attention of the chair of Suffolk University’s sociology department, who has launched an investigation.

While we'd happily wear the same top, skirt or pair of jeans as often as we want, there's something about dresses that make us think they're a one-wear garment.

And considering the fact that they can be pretty damn expensive, our logic just doesn't cut it on this front.

So, when YouTubers learned that fashion line, Showpo, had created a dress which changes colour, they understandably fell all over themselves to catch a glimpse of the garment which had the potential to revolutionise a woman's wardrobe.

And, a short time later, were ultimately left feeling pretty let-down.

Commenting on the footage which has wound up thousands in recent days, one member of the public wrote: "So fake, if you really did create this tech why wouldn't you explain it?"

"Possibly couldn't be faker," added another. "Almost instantaneously it reeks of acting, selfie style camera held by DSLR, over the top reactions from all."

So, wanna see what all the fuss is about?
