While our own mothers bet us into bin liners and didn't even consider taking part in Halloween festivities, the same can't be said for the Knowles / Carter clan.

In a move which has us wishing our mams and grannies had gotten dickied up alongside us back in the day, Beyoncé has shared footage of the prep which went into their family Halloween.

Opting to go as 90s rapper Salt-N-Pepa, Beyonce, her mum Tina, her daughter Blue Ivy and her husband Jay-Z gave us all serious family goals by taking the theme and running with it.

From the oversized shell jackets and the skin-tight lycra leggings to the gold jewellery and accompanying fanny-packs, Bey and the crew put the rest of us to shame.

"They killed it as usual," wrote one fan after checking out Bey's Halloween montage which was  – unsurprisingly – accompanied by Salt-N-Pepa's Push It.

"My fave family… Love u guys till infinity," added another.

Jeez mam, a little imagination wouldn't have gone astray back in our day.

Nothing send us on a diet and exercise guilt-trip quicker than clapping eyes on a parade of Victoria's Secret Angels.

And while we love nothing more than tuning into the annual fashion show, it takes a lot of positive thinking and frantic whatsapping with the girls to remember that these women are paid to look… well… as close to perfect as possible.

Considering this, it's heartening to see that the company – which uses some of the most beautiful women in the world to promote their lines – have released images that reminds us that these women also rock the same marks and bumps as the rest of us.

After the brand shared behind-the-scenes snaps of Jasmine Tookes modelling their Fantasy Bra during the week, the public realised that Jasmine rocked – wait for it – the same stretchmarks as the rest of us, and the company hadn't digitally removed them!

We know – we had to have a quick sit-down too.

Jasmine – the first black woman to model the Fantasy Bra in nine years – looked nothing short of breathtaking in the shots, and the marks on her bum did NOTHING to detract from that.

Whether the move was an intentional one on behalf of the brand or not is unknown, but that hasn't stopped fans of the model taking to social media to congratulate her for "proudly showing off her stretch marks".

Now, let us all take a moment to salivate over that underwear set.

As women, we're well used to enduring a little pain in the name of beauty.

From the toe-curling eyebrow thread to the bite-down-on-some-rubber bikini wax, us women have been taking a healthy dose of horror with our monthly beauty appointments for years now.

And if man flu has taught us anything, it's that our male counterparts aren't quite as hardy as we are when it comes pain.

Proving the point to millions of YouTube users, the Slow Mo Guys – also known as Gavin and Dan – decided to give our pre-holiday prep a go by having their legs waxed.

And, well, let's just say we don't see them making it a regular fixture in their lives.

According to a woman who's about to celebrate her 117th birthday, if it's a long life you're after, it's eggs you need to eat.

And according to Victoria Beckham, if it's clear skin you're after, it's salmon you splash out on.

During a recent interview with The Edit, the former Spice Girl revealed that after seeking advice for troublesome skin, she made a change to her daily diet and hasn't looked back since.

"I see a dermatologist in LA, called Dr. Harold Lancer, who is incredible. I've known him for years – he sorted my skin out," she explained.

"I used to have really problematic skin and he said to me, 'You have to eat salmon every single day.'"

Admitting she was a little sceptical, the mum-of-four continued: "I said, 'Really, every day?' And he said, 'Yes; breakfast, lunch or dinner, you have to eat it every single day.'"

Well, by the looks of things, tucking into salmon – which is chock-full of omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins A and C – has worked a charm on VB's skin.

And if you need us, we'll be in the fish aisle.

So, yesterday former Geordie Shore star, Charlotte Crosby, decided to send her fans and followers completely over the edge.

In a move which has gone down like a lead balloon on Twitter, the reality star revealed that she's planning to follow in Vicky Pattison's footsteps and head down under for a fortnight of bushtucker trials.

Confirming speculation last night, 26-year-old Charlotte wrote: "Yep I am going on @imacelebrity. I can't wait. So excited man."

Pumped at the prospect of seeing Charlotte tackle the same trials and tribulations her former co-star Vicky endured in the jungle, fans of the star wasted no time wishing her luck.

But it looks like their well wishes were unnecessary as an hour later Charlotte was forced to admit she had been joking – an admission that didn't sit well with the public.

"Such a funny joke isn't it? You excited your fans you moron," wrote one.

"F*ck sake, already told the girlfriend and she was buzzing and said you will win. Now I got to go break the news now thanks," added another.

But while some followers were clearly fuming, the most optimistic among them suggested Charlotte had merely made the announcement too early and had been forced to retract it.

"I was a little unsure if she was meant to be announcing it this early?" wrote while another remarked: "Are you sure you're not just saying that cos you got in sh*t for tweeting it?"

Hmmm, we might have to watch this space…

After being dropped from Simon Cowell's record label, X Factor winner, James Arthur, found himself facing into a fairly bleak future.

Without a penny to his name, the singer looked like he was going to be confined to the X Factor 'has-been' category alongside the likes of Steve Brookstein and Leon Jackson.

And it was then that reality show execs began inundating him with offers to appear on some of Britain's biggest reality television shows – invitations which James ultimately declined.

Recalling this period of life, the singer, whose comeback track hit the top of the charts in recent weeks, insists it was the right decision at the time, and even says he wouldn't have gotten a number one had he become a Celebrity Big Brother housemate.

"I got offered loads of reality shows including I’m A Celebrity and Celebrity Big Brother," he revealed during an interview with the Daily Star Sunday.

"They were life-changing amounts of money. The most I got offered was £250,000 for CBB, which I really needed at the time, not knowing if I had a career."

While paying tribute to the shows which helped revive some stars' flagging careers, James insists it wasn't for him.

"I’m a huge fan of those shows but I don’t think there’s any chance I would be back at No. 1 now if I’d gone down that route."

He might have a point, in fairness.

So, we all know Halloween is a total free-for-all.

Wearing a bin liner all weekend? Go for it. Rocking a bikini for the night? Good woman, yourself. Dressed as a wheelie bin until November 1st? Sure, no better man.

Unfortunately for Michelle Keegan, she never got the memo, and in a move which has infuriated Twitter users, the actress decided to shame women who opt for a skimpy costume.

"Halloween… For the people who dress up in underwear and throw blood on themselves and think it's ok… It's not!" the actress wrote in a post this weekend.

Wasting no time calling the star out on her supposed hypocrisy, Michelle's followers asked her to justify her comment considering the fact she's wearing a bikini in her profile picture.

"Smh at you and your hypocrisy I mean look at your profile picture? Let people do what tf they want if it isn't hurting," insisted one.

"Dumbest tweet ever… Look up hypocrite or research what Halloween is," advised another.

Highlighting Michelle's supposed lack of support for the sisterhood, one Twitter user asked: "Sorry but when did you write the rules? Girls can do and wear what they want without being shamed."

Well, that went down well, Michelle.

With radio silence from Cheryl and Liam (save for a few gag-worthy Twitter posts) it's come down to the public to figure out whether Cheryl is indeed pregnant with her first child.

And when there's only so much squinting you can do at the Crazy Stupid Love singer's midriff, it's always helpful when someone close to Cheryl weighs in and implies that we are all, indeed, onto something.

Suggesting we're not barking up the wrong tree, Cheryl's best friend and former band mate, Kimberley Walsh, recently revealed that Cheryl is indeed in a good place right now.

And while Kimberley, who is currently expecting her second child, tried to rein in her remarks, she didn't do much to persuade the public that the couple won't be hearing the pitter-patter of tiny feet very soon.

With Cheryl once having said she was born to be a mother, 34-year-old Kimberly remarked that she's delighted for her friend during an interview with the Daily Star's Life magazine, saying: "Yes, I'm really happy that she's happy."

"I don't really want to go in to too much detail on that because I feel it's something that she should speak about, but to know she's happy makes me happy," she added.

This isn't the first time Kimberley's been asked about Cheryl's life with Liam Payne, having said earlier this month that she'd rather not comment on speculation.

"She’s one of my best friends and I would never speak about any friends’ personal lives. I just try and leave them to it," she admitted.

So, what is it that Kimberley thinks Cheryl should speak about?!

While most of us spent the last three days celebrating Halloween for fear of having a workplace hangover on Tuesday morning, some very brave amongst us have held out and decided not to dress up until tonight.

If you're one of these folk and still looking for inspiration, it might be worth taking a leaf out of this kid's book.

Stumped for a costume, 10-year-old Kyle Hall from Swords decided to raid his attic and go as his sister… on her communion day.

Rocking a veiled hat (no, seriously) and a fairly ornate dress, Kyle recreated Karlann's Communion Day look, and by the sounds of things his sister's fairly impressed.

Taking to Facebook to share a snap of her sibling, Karlann wrote: "My 10-year-old brother just went to school dressed up as me on my Communion hahahaha I swear he doesn’t give a sh*t!

Unsurprisingly, Facebook users have been all over Kyle's look, with one writing: "I wish I could like this again, so good "

Anyone else a little creeped out by the random hand clutching the photo frame?!

If you know a lad called Cormac who lived it up in France during the Euro 2016 championship, it might be worth telling him he's wanted.

In a move which has sent Irish football fans reaching for every innuendo they can think of this week, a French girl called Rita posted a message to an Irish football fan Facebook page in search of a little assistance.

"I was hoping to have some help from the You Boys in Green supporters club in finding an Irish football fan called Cormac who I met here during the Euros this year," she began.

"I don't have any more information other than his first name and where we met, but I'm trying to contact him about an important matter."

Rita explains that she met Cormac at La Place du Change – a square in the Old Town where Irish fans gathered together on Saturday and Sunday evening during the Euros – at around 1am on June 27.

"We met while the crowd was singing "Don’t take me home”, which they continued to sing for at least 10 minutes. He had lost his friends."

While most people, including us, are jumping to conclusions, Rita is keen not to alarm poor Cormac, finishing: "He needn't worry, I just need to touch base with him about something."

"Someone left more than memories in France. Man up now, u have a little one the way," wrote one. (sic)

Referencing a Christy Moore classic which tells the story of a hapless Joxer in Stuttgart, another follower of the page wrote: "Time for Christy Moore to write another classic song – Cormac goes to Lyon"

Cormac, you on this?

When it comes to Liam Payne and Cheryl Cole's relationship, Liam is definitely the more candid of the two.

From sharing selfies of the pair to posting declarations of love via Instagram, the former 1D star wears his heart on his sleeve, and doesn't care who knows it.

And while we're all for the celeb couple and their newfound devotion, sometimes we can't help but compare Liam to the person you blocked on social because you just couldn't handle their relationship updates.

After taking to Twitter to pay tribute to her fans yesterday, Cheryl's boyfriend muscled in on the post and reminded everyone just how devoted he is to the Girls Aloud star.

"I always love spending the day with you lot!! It makes me so happy," Cheryl tweeted following a book signing yesterday. "Thank you to everyone who came to the signing today. I loved it."

And in what has now become known as a classic Liam move, the 23-year-old wrote: 'So jealous of everyone who got to spend the day with my girl today. Grrrrrrr!"

Bitter and jealous? Us? Definitely,
