People on Twitter have called for the arrest of Katie Hopkins following anti-Muslim comments she made on social media.

The always controversial Katie was watching Channel 4’s 24 Hours in Custody when she made the ill-advised decision to tweet: “Father beats his daughter with an iron bar. But he is a good Muslim, prays in his cell & attends the mosque. So that’s all happy days then … The police are singing from the same hymn sheet. Mohammed is going DAAAAAAN. Alahu Akbar “

She then continued, inciting further outrage: “Palestinians busy knifing Israelis. 2 state solution my arse. Filthy rodents burrowing beneath Israel. Time to restart the bombing campaign.”

There have now been calls from many people on Twitter to bring Katie's tweets to the attention of police, citing them as hateful and racist.

Eek – something tells us Katie may play a tough game, but behind bars would be a whole different story. Let's see how this one plays out…

You know when you make plans with a *sort of* friend but then your actual friends make even better plans so you cancel the *sort of* friend, telling her your sick and then run into her in a nightclub at 3am?

Well, the famous version of this happened to Sam Smith recently…

Sam tweeted that he was ill and needed rest, writing: “Nashville, sorry I can’t come out to say hey tonight after the show!! Still not feeling 100% and need to sleep!! So sorry xxxx.”

However, according to Twitter, Sam decided not to get rest and instead had a night out on the town, tweeting three hours later: “Best night EVER at a karaoke bar in Nashville!!!!!!”

Oh, Sam – rookie mistake.

Over the last week or so, you may have heard a bit of buzz about something called Ello.

In case you’re still completely in the dark, Ello is a new social network that is selling itself as the anti-Facebook. Although it’s up and running, it’s still invite-only.

Think of it as the Regina George of social networks – a total Mean Girl. People are so keen to be part of the exclusive club, in fact, that invites are selling for up to $100 on eBay. WTF?!

So what’s all the fuss about?
Aside from the fact that there are fewer members (for now, anyway), what’s the real difference between Ello and any other social network? Well, here’s the thing: it has no ads and the creators say it never will.

That means no annoying sponsored posts, no bizarre weight loss ads starring Miriam O’Callaghan and Jennifer Aniston, and no fear that your information is being shared with companies all over the world.

“You are not a product,” says the Ello manifesto, which describes the site as “a place to connect, create and celebrate life.” Sounds kinda like all the other social networks, if we’re being honest!

Another perk is that you can use any name you like on your profile. This mightn’t seem like a huge deal to most of us, but Facebook’s recent policy that users can only use their legal name on their profiles has outraged many, especially drag performers and LGBT activists.

What’s it like?
We haven’t been invited into the inner circle yet, but we’ve tracked down a few people who have. Ello was created by a group of artists, and the overall look is very minimalist, with lots of white space. 

But it’s not very user-friendly according to one user. “Clean and simple—although the look is trying a bit too hard and the actual user experience is a nightmare. Thank you, hipster designers,” said writer Leslie Horn.

It works similarly to Facebook and Twitter, with timelines, news feeds, @ replies, the whole shebang. It’s just a little, well, cooler.

Should I even bother with it?
Hard to say. There’s a big buzz now because it’s still not open to all, but it’s difficult to know whether Ello really could be a match for the other giants out there. No big stars have made the move yet, so it’s not going to be as useful as Twitter is for news or as Instagram is for celeb- stalking.

It’s free to request an invite on the website though, so you might as well get your name on the list!

Kirsten Dunst stars in a great new video about how the selfie culture affects a familiar face.

The video shows two girls who, without even asking, take photos with her and then don’t even talk to her.

Kirsten tells the girls “you can ask me a question” but as they already have their selfie – all they want her to do is tag them.

As the girls drive away they remember all of the great movies Kirsten has been in – but didn’t bother to talk to her about.

Has the selfie culture gone so out of control that we don’t even treat celebrities like real people anymore?

This certainly makes it seem that way, doesn’t it?

Ever mistakenly clicked “like” on that picture of your crush’s sister’s wedding after a round of intense Facebook stalking? Then you’ll know the pain of making a fatal social media mistake.

Social media might be advertised as a way for us to openly connect with the world around us, but we all know it’s more about showing off a heavily edited and filtered version of our lives. A brunch picture here, a “night out” status there… perfect! That’s all well and good until you blow your cover by making one of these epic fails….

1. The drunken Facebook message
This also applies to WhatsApp and even good old fashioned texting. A drunken message – be it to your crush, your boss or your ex – will cause levels of fear that you never even knew you were capable of experiencing. Hopefully it’s just a jumble of letters rather than a full-on booty call. If it’s the latter, all you can do is cringe – especially if there was no reply!

2. The accidental follow
Giant clumsy fingers, why do you forsake us so?! It’s so easy to accidentally press “follow” or “Add Friend” and yet it only ever seems to happen when it’s someone you really, really don’t want any contact with. You have two choices – remove the request and hope they’ll think the email notification was a glitch (ha!) or just accept the damage and move on.

3. The shameful Netflix “watched” list on Facebook
This is totally grand if you’ve been watching Louis Theroux documentaries, but your "watched" list is more likely to accidentally sync to your Facebook profile when you’ve just spent four hours watching Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. Cringe. The kind-hearted folks at Netflix are apparently testing out a new “privacy mode” to allow you to watch your favourite shows incognito. Bring on the guilt-free Toddlers and Tiaras marathons!

4. The moment when you find that guy you fancy on Tinder
This brings about all levels of stress. Is he showing up because he’s already seen you and swiped to let you know he's game? Or has he not seen you yet? WHICH ONE? In this situation, not much can be lost by swiping right – if he doesn’t return the favour, it’s his loss. On the other hand, if he does…

5. The autocorrect carnage
It all happened so fast. One moment you were crafting a hilarious tweet, sure to earn you hundreds of wry laughs and new followers, the next you’ve posted it… only to realise that your phone has very kindly autocorrected a key word. No… that WASN’T meant to say “erect”. Delete or post a bashful “oh, silly autocorrect” tweet? The choice is a difficult one!

6. The “Seen” dilemma
Facebook’s “seen” feature on Messenger can be really handy when you’re waiting to hear back from a friend. But when someone asks you a question you rmost definitely don’t want to answer right now, it can be your worst enemy. It can also cause undue levels of stress when you’re waiting on a reply from a crush. Oh, he saw the message five hours ago? Great. GREAT.

7. The not-so-sneaky LinkedIn profile view
Unlike every other social network, LinkedIn lets you see who has viewed your profile over the last few days. This also means that your estranged primary school best pal can see if you’ve been nosing around her profile too. Oops.

We all have those Facebook friends that we regret accepting, and generally it's because of one (or more) of these irritating habits: 

1. Using Text Spelling

tumblr_n3gcv318wH1smcbm7o1_250

It’s 2k14 now, this is not Bebo and the only people who speak like that any more are 13 year olds and our parents. Sadly for them, they caught on to the trend eight years too late. We just don’t have the heart (or nerve) to tell them.

2. Detailing Your Relationship(s)

Why all of the tongue?! By all means, be in love, but 57 photos of a kiss? Nooooo!

3. Cheesy Check In’s

We all know someone who checks into bed. Why? WHY? We all go to bed, most of us visit it every night, in fact. Any check-in involving a couple and either a couch, bed or hotel and involving the word ‘snuggle,’ needs to be stopped. Now. Jealous? Us? Never. 

4. Uploading An Excessive Amount Of Selfies

Many people feel the need to take thousands (not an exaggeration) of selfies and then share them. 

5. Uploading Excessive Pictures In General

We get that you went to Magaluf. We get that you made new friends and drank yourself into oblivion, night after night. We just wish that you would get that we don’t need to see two hundred odd blurry images of it all. No really.

 

6. Having A Stupid Job Title

None of the following are feasible job titles: "being a mad bastard," "being a professional legend," or being anything with x’s in it.

7. Anything To Do With Attention Seeking Statuses

Cryptic public statuses merely exist to gain interest from people otherwise not interested in you. 

8. Commenting On Something You Haven’t Even Read

Read first, opinion second. 

9. Liking Everything Within Your Sight

Fans are in fear for their idol Miley Cyrus following a death hoax over the weekend.

The hoax claimed that the singer had died in her home following and overdose, but was quickly discovered to be untrue.

However, fans are still fearful for Miley following an uncharacteristically quiet few days on her social media.

The Wrecking Ball singer has been documenting her new found love of arts and crafts over Instagram for the last few weeks but has not shared anything with her fans in over three days, leading them to worry for the star.

We’re sure the star is just taking a well-deserved break, but it’s good to see she has fans that care about her so much!

Come back, Miley, we miss you!

Cara Delevingne has finally broken her silence on the Michelle Rodriguez and Zac Efron situation with some not-so-nice tweets!

The model is obviously far from happy about the stories going around and has taken to her Twitter account to voice her disgust at rumours: “Still more press poop spilling out their asses/mouths! Must be a case of journalist diarrhoea at the moment.”

She continued to voice her displeasure at the media’s coverage of the love triangle by writing: “Dear journalists, there is so many more important things going on in the world. You effect what people read. Have some respect for your jobs.”

Yikes, she is NOT happy with what is being said at the moment.

Her ex girlfriend, Michelle, was recently seen kissing actor, Zac Efron, while on holiday and the story has been extensively covered over the last two days.

A study of how much Twitter affects your relationship has been conducted, and the results aren’t good – but don’t run off and delete your account just yet.

Russell Clayton surveyed 386 Twitter users who were in relationships, asking them about how often they use the site and how often they had Twitter-related problems in their relationship. This was defined as arguments due to spending too much time on Twitter or looking at friends’ Twitter profiles. They were also asked about whether any Twitter-related problems resulted in a break-up or divorce.

The results weren’t surprising: heavy use of Twitter was related to Twitter-related conflict and relationship difficulties. Relationship problems were also especially likely to result from excessive Twitter use for couples who had a lot of Twitter-related conflict.

We can’t help but think that Clayton didn’t really need to do a survey to figure this out – it’s all pretty obvious stuff.

However, it’s important to remember that couples who break up over Twitter-related conflict most likely had other problems to begin with, and that’s why one half of the couple got so attached to Twitter, or Facebook, or any of the various social media platforms. So if you’re happy in your relationship, you shouldn’t have anything to worry about!

Social media is meant to be fun, but that doesn’t mean you should go hell for leather when it comes to posting photos from last night or updating statuses (ahem, football fever anyone?). Here are some great tips to stop your friends from hiding your latest status updates:

Tag attack
It’s all well and good when you’re the one uploading and tagging the photos from the night before, but beware, if you tag your friend when she’s not looking her best, she WILL get you back. When you least expect it.

Selfie central
We’re all for uploading the odd selfie, but if you do it too often, people will get bored. Save them for when you’re looking REALLY well and want to show it off!

Angry status updates about other people
These are definitely not good. Keep your personal issues to yourself- you’ll regret it in the long run if you don’t.

Love, love, love
We all want to shout it from the rooftops when we’re feeling the lurrrve for our significant other, but if you do this too often you will start to grate on peoples’ nerves. Especially those who aren’t as loved up as you.

Retweet, Fav, Repeat
Apparently it’s not cool to only retweet other peoples’ tweets. People want to hear what you have to say, that’s why they followed you. That being said, if you haven’t got anything good to say, what’s so bad with letting someone else do the talking instead?
