Everything You Need To Know About the Golden Globes

Hurrah for the coming of awards season, kicked off last night with The Golden Globes as stars from around the world descended to celebrate another year of film. Here's all you need to know about the night.  

Benedict Cumberbatch's Photobomb

After successfully photobombing U2 at the Oscars last year, Mr Cumberbatch is back on form as last night he managed to get involved in a snap of Meryl Streep with Margaret Cho who played a North Korean general. Priceless. 

Stars Held Up 'Je Suis Charlie' Signs

It was wonderful to see solidarity at this year's Golden Globes, and stars turned out to show their unity by holding signs reading 'Je Suis Charlie' in the wake of the Paris tragedies. Other stars to hold up signs included Diane Kruger, Patricia Arquette, Cathy Bates and Amal Clooney, who wore a badge on her clutch. 

The Brits Did Well

Eddie Redmayne, Ruth Wilson and Joanne Froggatt (Downton) all won awards last night, most notably Redmayne's for his role as Steven Hawking in The Theory of Everything. 

Taylor Swift Partied With Her BFFs

Amongst the married couples, new loves and mums-to-be, songstress Taylor Swift arrived with her posse of gals to celebrate the Golden Globes in style. Joining her were Selena Gomez, Lorde and Lena Dunham. Who needs boys huh? 

Chrissy Teigen Won the Award for Best Cry Face

John Legend's wife had a pretty emotional response to his Golden Globes win last night, and her reaction went viral. Rivalling that fugly Kim K cry face, Teigen took it in her stride tweeting "it's been 5 minutes and I'm a meme", followed by a silly faced selfie with her husband. 

George Clooney Recycled His Wedding Tux 

Back in September, silver fox George Clooney wed Amal Clooney in Venice in front of their star-studded guests. Backstage last night he admitted his outfit was exactly the same as his wedding attire, but more adorable was his acceptance speech: 

"It's a humbling thing to find someone you love. Even better if you've been waiting your whole life...Amal, whatever alchemy it is that brought us together, I couldn't be prouder to be your husband."

  

Conchita Wurst Took to the Red Carpet

One word: Fierce. Wearing a velvet, emerald green piece, Conchita sauntered down the red carpet looking pretty darn classy. 

The Realisation that Jessica Chastain and Amy 

Adams Look So Similar

Do you know what I mean?! 

Can We Just Talk About Colin Farrell's Moustache? 

Sleazy 70's detective comes to mind...

In other news: Kevin Spacey dropped the F Bomb and J Lo got complimented on her chest by cheeky chappy Jeremy Renner. 

Best and Worst Dressed at The People's Choice Awards 2015

Best Dressed 

Olivia Munn

Olivia Munn stunned in this glittering monochrome number, with varied horizontal stripe thicknesses to compliment her figure. She dressed down the look with a casual pony and plain black stilettos. Perfection. 

Chloe Moretz 

Who knew mesh and leather were kissing cousins? Chloé Mortez really is coming into her own style-wise, and I love this oxblood-black buttoned mini skirt she teamed with a white mesh top. The vintage accents in both pieces fuse them together into an ideal ceremony outfit. 

Ginnifer Goodwin

Oh Marilyn! I love how Ginnifer Goodwin chose an ankle-grazing '50s style dress in a crisp white shade- it perfectly juxtaposes her raven hair, and the 3/4 length sleeves are very slimming. 

Sarah Hyland

Actress Sarah Hyland was a true bejewelled beauty as she arrived at last night's People's Choice Awards in Christian Siriano. Embellished from top to toe in high voltage metallics, the sheer bottom half of the dress also allowed her to show off those amazing pins. Go girl! 

Kat Dennings 

I'm loving the return to retro right now, and Kat Dennings go it spot on with her black lace piece. With statement frilled shoulders and a floor length composition with her body tidily packed away in a mini dress, she really shone. 

Katherine McPhee 

Move over Kim K, there's a new Balmain beauty on the block. I am such a huge fan of this modest, yet chic co-ord created by the French designer. From it's eye-blurring horizontal-striped skirt, to it's colour-combining halter, McPhee showed what monochrome was made of. 

Melissa McCarthy 

I love actress Melissa McCarthy and thought this navy trouser suit was given an extra edge with a subtle leather trim and some vibrant rouge. 

Worst Dressed

Anna Faris 

What kind of flamenco-esque flop is this? Just like the movies she signs for, this two-piece is pure tat. Frills are for clowns! Oh wait... 

Portia De Rossi 

I'm really not a fan of this geometric cobalt blue jumpsuit by Zuhair Murad. Cut-outs are trickling away from the catwalk and it was a wrong move to team the piece with nude stilettos as they are swallowed by the strength of colour in the outfit. 

Ellen DeGeneres

I'm afraid Ellen Degeneres looks more like a tennis player, than a talk show host. The sickly off-white hue of her jacket sadly extends to her trousers and her trainers. Matchy matchy= pukey pukey.  

Kim Kardashian Bitter About Younger Sister Kendall Jenner: " I Bought Her A F**king Career"

Ouch. 

Looking at the Kardashian/Jenner family in perspective, you could say that teenagers Kendall and Kylie have made a more graceful entrance into showbiz than their half sister Kim Kardashian. As season 10 of hit series Keeping Up With The Kardashians approaches, an insightful trailer released showed the Kardashian-West had less than loving words for her model sister. 

Amongst the fights, sex and romance emerged a jealousy for Jenner, who is now at the height of her high fashion modelling career. In the clip, Kim rants to her older sister Kourtney, " I'm not buying her a f**king pair of shoes, I bought her a f**king career". 

The newly made eutrepeneur has walked the runways for the likes of Chanel and Dolce & Gabbana, befriending models Gigi Hadid and Cara Delevingne and has most recently bagged herself a clothing line with younger sister Kylie Jenner. 

The trailer also showed her and new husband, rapper Kanye West make several attempts to get pregnant for the second time. Teasing the audience, a positive pregnancy test is then shown without revealing with whom it belonged to. Hate to be the spoiler guys, but I'm pretty sure it's Kourtney... especially after Kim took to Twitter to dispel rumours with "No I'm not pregnant". 

Bring on Spring! I can't wait for the drama.

Kim Kardashian Reveals New Balmain Ad Campaign With Kanye West

Just when you thought they'd taken over pretty much everything, Kim and Kanye, the unstoppable force of celebdom strike again. This time, the power pairing have yet another intention of breaking the internet with the news that they will be appearing in their first ever ad campaign for Balmain.

Both a lover of the label, the couple are pals with creative director Olivier Rousteing, having worn many of their designs, some of which include heavily embroidered dresses and military blazers, double-breasted jackets and geometric designs, the pair have well and truly joined the Balmain army.

The promotional poster which Kim promoted on her Instagram shows a passionate embrace, with the reality star with her signature swept-back look complete with smokey eye. I don't know about you, but I feel like a 3rd wheel just looking at this hot shot. Phew!

Keira Knightley is Pregnant With Her First Child!

STOP THE PRESS.

I'm unnaturally excited at the news that English rose Keira Knightley is pregnant with her first child!

At the Independent Film Awards

Rumours were rife recently, but were rekindled when the star wore a rather loose fitting, but rather exquisite dress to the Moet British Independent Film Awards. This news is like, more compelling than Christmas (yeah I said it).

Ever the reliable source *rolls eyes*, Page Six confirmed that the 29-year-old who is married to James Righton is definitely with child. Okay so I'm relying on sketchy sources, but come on guys! The site claimed the Pride and Prejudice actress is more than three months pregnant and that it was a happy surprise for the pair.

LOOK AT DEM *AW*

"Keira and James are thrilled. This wasn’t planned, but that is how they wanted it. Keira and her stylist have been putting together looks that hide her growing bump."

She has just finished filming Everest and is expected to take a break from acting when her bouncing baby arrives. Fear not Keira fans, the star revealed she has no plans to quit anytime soon as the stay-at-home mother role isn't right for her. 

Keira is so cool, she wore shades to her own wedding. 

She said:  "Would I want to be a stay-at-home mother? No. On the other hand, you should be allowed to do that, as should men, without being sneered at."

Congrats Keira and James! 

Zoella: Entrepreneur or Marketing Tool ?

Titan vlogger Zoella staggered book charts as she hit the best sellers list for her debut novel, but it left me pondering and indeed doubting the sanity of the publishing world. 

Zoe Snugg released Girl Online last week with over 78,000 copies bought, a record-breaking number and nothing to be sniffed at. Being the same age as me, the young woman first began dishing out fashion and beauty tips back in 2009, before becoming a Youtube sensation with 6 million subscribers under her belt. 

With writers toiling over their work for years on end, struggling authors praying for their first publishing deal, and creative souls among us giving up after never being discovered, it left me wondering how a young lady could get this far this quickly. 

Zoella is, on the surface, an irrestitably cutesy figure. Tiny frame, perfectly placed dimples, impossibly silky, flowing hair and enough advice on anxiety to last you a lifetime, she is the embodiment of what teen girls look up to. But is there something deeper than simply someone behind a camera talking about something  she loves? 

The 24-year-old was today forced to take a break from the internet after it was revealed that she did not write Girl Online. Giving her game away by crediting ghostwriter Siobhan Curran at the back of her book, publisher Penguin then revealed that it was in fact Curran and Zoella's editorial team who created the novel. 

So what I hear you say.. Katie Price did it! Her pages couldn't be used as toilet paper. But do Sugg's fans care? And is this all a huge marketing ploy? 

After several ghostwriters turned down the opportunity to write Girl Online (one being offered £7,000, the other refused due to the mere 6 weeks it was planned to be written in), it's not hard to jump to conclusions about brand Zoella. 

Her blogs and vlogs are pumped full of products, beauty items are pushed as Sugg describes them creating unrealistically effective results. Rip down the facade and her blogging world is a gashed ruin of brand pushes so concentrated they have sucked the life from the talent she had. Originally a young woman with dreams of being a presenter, she is now a tiny doll, advertising a brainwashingly cute image that convinces teens to invest money they dont have in products they didn't want. The most difficult question of them all is, does Zoella even realise this herself? 

Entrepreneur or marketing tool? Has she changed the world of blogging as we know it? 

Katie Melua Discovers Spider Living in Her Ear

Just in time for Halloween, melodic singer Katie Melua had a chilling tale for us all. This really is the Closest Thing to Crazy I have ever seen!

Arachnophobes, your worst fears have here (or hear) come true! Songstress Katie Melua took to her Instagram (as you do) to announce that a spider has been lurking in her ear for seven whole days. Going to the doctor to complain about a consistent scratching noise that had failed to cease, her assumptions that it may have been tinnitus were abandoned.

How could this creepy crawly have accessed her ears I hear you scream. She said:

"Basically I used these old in-ear monitors to block out sound on a flight, a little spider must have been in them and crawled inside my ear and stayed there for a week".

Just in case you might not have caught the drift, she decided to post an image on Instagram

Fluffy is that you?? 

Instagram is for pretty food, pointless selfies and the dilemma of hot dogs or legs. NOT SPIDERS.

The doctor reportedly removed the spider using a micro hoover and after placing it in a test tube,Melua freed it in her back garden. Look out for the singer on the next episode of Spring Watch.
