If you thought Stephen Bear was torn between two women, you're very much mistaken.

But it's not that he's suddenly declared himself a one-woman man, and turned his back on fellow CBB housemate, Chloe Khan, in an effort to rekindle his romance with former girlfriend Lillie Lexie Gregg.

Oh no, not Bear.

He has, in fact, got his eyes on yet another reality TV star… well, he does if Laura Carter's recent interview with The Sun is anything to go by, that is.

The reality star, who made headlines for her raunchy on-screen antics with Marco Pierre White Jr, during her own stint in the Celebrity Big Brother house has revealed that Stephen Bear has shown more than a passing interest in her.

Opening up about an encounter they had in the past, Laura said: "We met on a night out, spent the night kissing and were all over each other and then carried on messaging each other for a while."

"He kept telling everybody in the club I was a 10/10 and he had to get with me," she revealed. 

"I ended up leaving quite early to go to bed that night and he then showed up at my door at 6am with some friends," she explained, "I’d just woke up and he was on his knees begging to come in for a booty call."

Offering more details than anyone with a delicate stomach might want, Laura insisted that she won't be drawing a line under the episode.

"We haven’t done anything too sexual yet, that’s all I’m saying. I will be getting in touch with him," she insisted.

And now if you'll excuse us, we'll be dry-heaving in a corner.

Look, we all know guys and girls are pretty different when it comes to wishing their mates a happy birthday online.

Us ladies pour our hearts out and make an effort to recall each and every milestone moment in our friendship.

And lads? Well, lads do not.

Case in point: Our very own Niall Horan from Mullingar.

Taking to Instagram earlier today, Niall paid tribute to his former bandmate, Liam Payne, on his 23rd birthday, and managed to be fairly creepy in the process.

 

Happy birthday @liampayne !! Miss your scent…

Sharing a photo of Liam cuddled up against his pal, Niall wrote: "Happy birthday @liampayne!! Miss your scent…"

Miss your scent? Well, if they're not the words left by a deranged stalker in a teen slasher flick, we don't know what are.

Surprisingly though, it looks like we're on our own when it comes to this particular post because thousands of Directioners are all over it.

From admitting that the snap had brought them to tears to declaring their love for the duo, it looks like it was only us grossed out by the wording… and the poo emoji.

Oh, well.

There's nothing we loved more as children than coming up with cute and imaginative names for other people's pets, so the idea of doing it on a grander scale would have appealed to us immensely back in the day.

And following the birth of a southern white rhinoceros calf on Thursday August 25, Dublin Zoo have announced they need a hand naming the little lad, and that's where the children of Ireland come in.

Calling on our country's younger generation for assistance with this very important task, Dublin Zoo have asked for suggestions for the newest arrival which are based on his African origin.

"We are absolutely thrilled with the new arrival," said Helen Clarke-Bennet, team leader of the African Plains 

"Ashanti is an experienced mother and the birth was very relaxed. The mother and calf are bonding and will remain very close for the first year of his life," she added.

With only 20,000 of these incredible creatures left in the wild, Dublin Zoo are committed to assisting the survival of the near threatened southern white rhinoceros.

And we're committed to making sure it gets the greatest name ever,

If you know of a little person who is a dab hand at this kind of thing, then be sure to let them know that Ashanti and Chaka need some help naming their son pronto, and find out more here.

Look we'll admit it, we're partial to a selfie or two.

And when we're with our friends, we're even more partial.

Oh, we're well aware we look like a pack of dopes when we've the phone hovering above our heads and we're giving our best Gigi, but that generally doesn't stop us.

Although, according to one woman from the States, it definitely should.

Taking to social media for a fairly epic rant, Susanna lamented today's selfie-obsessed youth, and does a fairly accurate version of most of us trying to find the perfect Insta profile.

Susanna, we see your point and we're totally guilty, but we're not stopping.

According to reports emerging Stateside, Mariah Carey's sister has been arrested for prostitution in New York.

Alison A Carey, who has been estranged from the Hero singer for a number of years, was the subject of a sting operation after police investigated allegations that the 55-year-old had been prostituting herself out of a Saugerties hotel.

According to Saugerties Police Chief Joseph Sinagra, Alison identified herself as the sister of the award-winning performer – a claim which was confirmed after authorities investigated Carey's background.

It has been established that Alison uses lyrics from her sister's smash-hit songs in her online ads – postings which helped police track down Mariah's sister over the weekend.

Authorities have warned anyone who believes they may have a sexual encounter with Alison to seek medical attention.

Mariah's sister, who is due in Saugerties Town Court tomorrow, was sent to Ulster County Jail in lieu of $1,000 bail.

When Ryanair launched a sale last week in honour of their latest award, thousands of us salivated over Europe's slickest hotspots before making the most of the deal.

And with many still pumped over their super-cheap holiday abroad, online fraudsters have decided to cash in on the atmosphere by circulating a message which purports to offer two free Ryanair tickets in honour of the airline's 35th birthday.

Here's the thing though – Ryanair won't turn 35 until 2019 which led many to question the authenticity of the offer.

Confirming the public's scepticism, Ryanair took to their official Twitter account this morning to warn customers against the online scam.

"Please be aware of an online scam offering free Ryanair tickets," they wrote alongside an image of the fake offer. "This is not an official promotion."

You heard them, ladies – Steer well clear.

Ohhhh, we're having a moment here, ladies.

OK, so we all know Walk The Moon's Shut Up and Dance was one of the biggest tracks of last summer.

And unfortunately for any song which instantly becomes the soundtrack of the summer, many of us tire of it fairly quickly.

But whether you're still playing Shut Up and Dance on the daily or skip past it any time you hear the opening chords, this guy's rendition of the track will have you reevaluating everything about the Billboard winner.

Gerard Carroll from Dungannon has taken Facebook by storm in recent weeks after sharing footage of his version of the track, and frankly it's everything you could want of a cover and more.

His vocals (Girls, that accent…), the harp, and the simplicity of the video has us pressing replay on the regular.

And we're not the only ones.

"Oh my god I love this!!! Absolutely beautiful!" wrote one Facebook user while another added: "You made my Day so Beautiful. Thank you."

Aaaaand replay.

Remember the last time you searched high and low for the perfect dinosaur tail, but couldn't find one for love nor money?

Yeah, us neither.

But that hasn't stopped ASOS from thinking one step ahead and stocking up on an accessory which might give us an idea how Kim Kardashian feels navigating a room full of Ming vases.

At £25 a pop, the super-shiny Tell Tails Dinosaur Tails straps onto your waist and protrudes from your bum… exactly how God intended.

Touted as a festival accessory, this intriguing butt ornament is bound to complement your flower crown and make day-glo make-up pop… right?

Well, it's currently sold-out so somebody thinks so.

And here was us thinking baby wipes, booze and battered wellies were all we needed for EP this year – Excuse us while we go and reevaluate our lives.

There are a number of female celebrities who we'd happily walk over hot coals for. (Chrissy Teigen, we're looking at you.)

Whether it's their attitude, their humour or their sense of style, some women make us want to be bigger and better at everything we do, and for Lena Dunham, that person is Rihanna.

Taking to social media earlier this morning, the Girls actor laid bare her feelings for the Work singer, and Twitter cannot cope with the accuracy of the sentiment.

"I would literally do anything for Rihanna," Lena wrote in a post which has been liked thousands of times in mere hours.

"I just want to make her as happy as she makes me. Whatever seh needs," she continued. "That's not creepy, right?"

Reassuring Lena that it's totally OK to feel her feelings – whatever they may be – the star's followers admitted that the feelings she has for Rihanna are the exact same as the ones they have for her.

"Does it feel creepy if I say I feel the same for you." wrote one. "I knew it wouldn't. I can be your second best friend after riri."

"That's exactly how I feel with you and Jack," added another follower, referring to Lena's relationship with Jack Antonoff of Fun fame.

Some of of Lena's fans, however, decided to play Devil's Advocate with the actress and tested her limits when it came to her love for Ri-Ri.

"What if she called you at 4am just to talk from a different time zone cuz she was lonely on tour?" wrote one.

"Would you drive her to the airport?" they added. "Would you help her move?"

Something tells us it'd be a yes on all fronts.
