Remember when Orlando Bloom decided to go paddle boarding on holidays, and the whole world suddenly realised that they were mad into seeing a celeb go paddle boarding on holidays?

Especially when the celeb in question is butt-ass naked, but hey, no judgement here.

Well, while the rest of us committed the next 12 hours to sourcing uncensored snaps of Orlando in all his glory, the man himself was having somewhat of a meltdown.

So much so, he sought the advice of his ex-wife, Miranda Kerr, and admitted he was feeling a bit scarlet over the whole 'let's go naked in front of paps' thing.

Speaking on KISS FM's Kyle and Jackie O Show this week, Miranda revealed that Orlando, who is now in a relationship with Katy Perry, text her to give her a heads-up about the whole thing.

"Oh my god, he texted me and he was like, 'Um, I'm really embarrassed. Some photos are coming out. Just thought I should let you know," she recalled.

The model, who shares a five-year-old son with the actor, admitted she was less impressed by his decision in comparison to the rest of us… who were in full support of it.

"I was like, ‘Right, what were you thinking? Seriously, what were you thinking?' she said. "Obviously he wasn’t!"

Ah no he was, he was just giving the people what they want, sure.

We all know Stephen Bear cheated on Lillie Lexie Gregg with Chloe Khan while in the Celebrity Big Brother house, but according to Bear, who went on to win the latest series of the reality show, he wasn't the only one unfaithful during the course of their relationship.

While appearing on Loose Women yesterday, the Ex on the Beach star implied Lillie wasn't without a fault, saying: "The last two girls I have been with cheated on me. It’s bang out of order."

And Lillie wasn't having a word of it.

Taking to Twitter last night, Lillie, who met Bear while appearing on Ex on the Beach wrote: "Wow, how dare you?"

"Quite happy to go to the extent of a lie detector test on this one," she wrote. "Theres only one cheat and it certainly wasn't me."

Lillie, who confronted Bear during an emotional scene in the CBB house, added: "Categorically not true. That is my only comment."

And it looks like Lillie's insistence had the desired effect on her ex-boyfriend who appeared to go and check his sources before taking to Twitter to admit he was wrong to accuse her.

"Never believe rumours. Just spoke to @rossworswick and nothing happened," he wrote in a post this afternoon.

"Sorry LillieGregg, I wish you all the best of luck." he finished in a post which has been liked hundreds of times in mere hours.

If you – like millions others – found yourself enthralled by Stranger Things over the course of the summer, then you'll be pleased to hear the good folk at Netflix have officially announced they will be renewing the break-out hit.

While there have been whispers in the works ever since we laid eyes on Mike, Eleven and the rest of the cast, those in the know have kept us in suspense until today.

According to Variety, season 2 of the 80s sci-fi smash-hit show will consist of 9 episodes – one more than season 1 – and debut in 2017.

Speaking prior to the announcement, creators Matt and Ross Duffer drew attention to the fact that the show's arc allows for break-off storylines, saying: "There’s a bigger mythology, and there’s a lot of dangling threads at the end."

"We could explore it if Netflix wanted to continue," he added.

And thankfully, they do.

This morning it was reported that pop princess Selena Gomez will be taking a much needed career break in a bid to improve her physical and mental health.

And now, sadly, the news has broken that the Kill Em With Kindness singer will not be performing in Dublin this November as previously planned.

According to Entertainment.ie, it has been confirmed that Selena’s time off will coincide with the European leg of her Revival World Tour, which means her November 8 show in Dublin’s 3Arena will not take place.

If you thought you had beaten the system at its own game by ordering a chill G&T instead of a beer or cider when trying to shed some lbs, you may want to sit down before reading on.

According to experts in the field, our favourite tipple  – and the Holy Grail for dieters everywhere – can come in at around 150 calories which is 11 calories more than a full-fat can of Coke.

Yeah, we know – we're devastated too

"Some people assume it is healthier because it is a spirit and you may only use one shot of alcohol but this is still one unit, the same as half a pint of beer and one small glass of wine," said Rob Hobson Head of Nutrition for Healthspan.

Revealing something we all know deep-down, but generally refuse to accept, Rob added: "There is no healthy alcoholic drink unfortunately."

So, we now know that a shot of gin comes in at 75 calories and 250 ml of tonic water equals 150, but what about the sugar content?

According to Rob, a standard G&T can carry 19 grams per serving… and now we're crying.

"You can reduce the sugar and calorie value of gin and tonics by adding sugar-free tonic water, which is a better option," he advised.

"If you are worried about the amount of sugar and calories in your drink then you could stick to a spirit with a low calorie mixer or soda water and flavour it with fruit, vegetables (cucumber) or herbs such as rosemary and mint."

OK fine, pass the damn cucumber.

After 56 years on the box, Coronation Street is, undoubtedly, an institution in the UK and Ireland.

And yet despite their decades of experience, bosses behind the Manchester soap still find themselves on the wrong side of the public from time to time.

Case in point: Monday's episode of the long-running soap.

During a scene in the street's salon Eva Price, played by Catherine Tyldesley, made reference to an enslaved character from novel and TV mini-series Roots, saying: "I've got more roots than Kunta Kinte."

"No idea who that is, by the way, just something my mum used to say," the character added.

Viewers took to Twitter in their droves to express their disgust that Kunta Kinte – a young man taken from Gambia and sold as a slave –  was the subject of such a throwaway remark.

"So what’s up with the cultural insensitivity on Coronation Street? ‘I got more Roots than Kunta Kinte’ That’s kinda racist," wrote one while another added: "Really Coronation Street? I think you need to have a word with the scriptwriter!"

In addition to voicing their opinions on Twitter, almost 300 people reported the scene to television watchdog Ofcom who said: "We will assess these complaints before we decide whether to investigate or not."

Acknowledging the public's distaste for the scene, a spokeswoman for the soap said: "We apologise if this dialogue has caused offence."

Oh Lord, Twitter is a scary place to be sometimes.

And we can only assume Zayn Malik is quaking in his boots right now if a recent set of uploads to the social media site are proved authentic.

According to Twitter handle exposezaynmalik, the former 1D star has been cheating on girlfriend, Gigi Hadid, and they purport to have the messages that prove it.
 

Responding to the shots which appear to show Zayn flirting and attempting to meet up with a girl who most definitely isn't his girlfriend, Zayn's fans have insisted the messages are fake.

"If you're gonna make sh*t up, at least make sure you put the correct grammar/words and sh*t smh," wrote one while another added: "if you stanned him you would know better this is not his style and language of writing…honey you FAILED."

Dismissing accusations that they had photoshopped the messages, the Twitter account responded: "Funny yall call the screenshots fake but not the picture it self when it was taken by the same person zayn is talking too."

Offering details into the exchange which took place between Zayn and the girl, they insisted that the recent screenshots are only the tip of the iceberg, and revealed that they have further proof that Zayn has been unfaithful.

"Bare in mind we're not asking you to believe us if you want to stay in denial then ignore us but we don't care about you ranting to us." they wrote. (sic)

According to a report in Cosmopolitan, Zayn, Gigi and the girl reportedly involved in the supposed matter have yet to comment on the controversy.

If our Irish mothers taught us anything during our hideously awkward teenage years, it's that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

So while you may have longed for Angelina Jolie’s lips, and your mate may have been all about Kate Hudson's smaller pout, the lad in your History class may actually have seen something in your chapped pucker.

And it is, as we all know, incredibly difficult to define the ‘perfect’ face, but it sounds like Harley Street facial cosmetic surgeon Dr Julian De Silva has come pretty damn close.

Based on the requests for famous facial features from 1,000 women about to undergo cosmetic surgery, Dr De Silva has revealed the world’s most desirable face.

And in fairness, it is pretty stunning.

Boasting Keira Knightley’s eyes, Kate Middleton’s nose, Penelope Cruz’s lips and Selena Gomez’s chin, this computer-generated face is an example of the features favoured by those going under the knife.

Commenting on requests he receives from patients at the Centre for Advanced Facial Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery, Dr. De Silva said: “Obviously the challenge for me is to look at their facial proportions and advise whether this will be a good look for them after surgery.”

"Thankfully, a lot of the time, it works very naturally to replicate a nose like the Duchess of Cambridge's or eyelids similar to Keira Knightley's,” he said.

“But on other occasions we do have to amend the plans because there are limits to how far you can improve what nature has given you."

Acknowledging the patient's need to use celebrity features as a template, Dr. De Silva added: "What is wrong with wanting to look like your favourite star? It helps cosmetic surgeons to quickly establish exactly what a patient wants."

Amen.

Look, we all know Geordie Shore's Gaz has a lot to to learn when it comes to his treatment of women.

And while his Twitter bio argues "I do what every other lad does… I just do it on TV", we're not convinced every other lad would post a message to a female reality star suggesting she's akin to a prostitute.

After learning that TOWIE star, Chloe Sims, had slammed him in a column for New magazine, Gaz firstly decided to let her know he couldn't care less what she thought of him.

Sharing a screengrab of her recent tweet, he wrote: "F*cks sake, Another crying myself to sleep tonight… This just hurts me so much."
 

So far, so relatively diplomatic, right?

But instead of leaving it at that, the Geordie lad decided to go one step further by posting an image referring to Chloe which read: "Gold Digger: Like a hooker, only smarter."

Calling her out for the second time that night, the 28-year-old reality star wrote: "Let's not argue… I want to take this opportunity to wish you all the best with your new documentary."

Unfortunately for Gaz, not everyone was impressed with his snarky dig.

"Wow Gaz. You're actually vile," wrote one while another added: "Hardly a gold digger either, self made, independent, mother and you've put that out for her daughter to see. Wrong dude."

We doubt the feedback will have any effect on Gaz though…

Ever since news broke yesterday that much-loved and highly-acclaimed actor, Gene Wilder, had passed away, social media has been awash with tributes to the star.

From those in the industry to movie fans, Gene's passing at the age of 83 has struck a chord with millions all over the world today.

Paying tribute to the original Willy Wonka, Coldplay uploaded an impromptu performance of Pure Imagination – one of the most widely recognised songs from 1971's Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

After finishing one of their own tracks at a concert in Denver last night, the lads launched into Pure Imagination, and it is definitely one of those moments which will stick with every concert-goer in attendance.

"This is so special. Would have loved to have been there. How lovely are those lyrics," wrote one fan on Twitter while another added: "Say what you want about @coldplay but they know how to bash out a heartwarming tribute."

Ladies, how perfect is this?
