Our main talent is being able to make groundbreaking articles out of certain boyband’s crotches, and also consuming the largest amount of crisps known to man in under five minutes. But Tom Fletcher from McFly’s talent is being able to write super amazing songs that make us weep with joy like it ain’t no thanggg.

And, he manages to do all that whilst being all gorgeous and fit and stuff as well. Some people are just blessed it seems.

Yesterday, Tom posted the latest video on his YouTube channel to share the experience of challenging himself to write a song in the quickest time possible. As you’ll see in the vid, in the time it takes us to make a cup of tea and complain about the hole in the crotch of our leggings, Tom has his written an album-worthy song for McFly. OH LIFE.

Armed with a pen, paper and a pink ukelele (all the essentials), Tom’s creation I Hope You’re Feeling Great is born, and even though it’s a mere pre-breakfast activity for him whilst stuck in a hotel room, (probs on the 3rd floor innit), it’s most definitely going to be stuck in our heads forever thanks to its super cute little catchy tune

CinemaCon in Las Vegas saw many Hollywood films previewed the past few days but it’s a women in film panel that was most revealing.

The Hollywood Reporter’s editorial director Janice Min moderated the panel on which actress Geena Davis, Bridesmaids director Paul Feig, The Hunger Games producer Nina Jacobson, Regal Entertainment CEO Amy Miles, and Fox Animation Studios president Vanessa Morrison sat. They report:

Feig said he’s always tried to promote strong female characters, but was told again and again that movies with women wouldn’t work. “I was always shut down so quickly. You start to weirdly accept it,” he said.

Min recalled a number of headlines in the weeks leading up to the release of Bridesmaids in 2011 suggesting that the R-rated female comedy could never work.

“I was terrified, thinking that if I screw this up, no women are ever going to star in movies again,” Feig said.

A very real fear when you consider the climate surrounding women in Hollywood. “It’s insanity. It seems like you have to go out of your way to leave that many women out,” said Davis, who founded the Geena Davis Institute of Gender and Media in 2004. But what happens in Hollywood translates to what happens in theaters as well.

(While we're on the subject, I figure I'd bring up this video. It's from a speech Geena gave back in February. She brings up some very good points, i.e. in crowd scenes, only 17% are women. It's actually really informative so if you have the time I suggest a look)



Miles — the only female to head a major theater circuit — said it’s disheartening to note that women make 70 percent to all 80 percent of all purchases, yet females only make up roughly 50 percent of those going to the movies. She questioned how much money Hollywood is leaving on the table by not turning more films that appeal to women.

Miles also noted that when she receives toys and other movie swag from studios, she rarely has anything to take home to her small niece. Rather, it all goes to her nephew. “He’s much more excited than she is about the movies. Yet you want to build an affinity for moviegoing from a young age,” she said.

Ah, yes, the old self-fulfilling prophecy. THR also notes the panel was somewhat reticent to discuss the female-driven Fifty Shades of Grey.

When Min asked if the upcoming movie would be the best or worst thing to happen to women in film, the panelists giggled but remained largely silent. Davis responded by saying she was “speechless.” Feig begged off by saying he didn’t read it (he did joke later that would direct it), while Morrison skirted by saying she was in animation. Miles shrugged with a smile and shook her head playfully to indicate she wouldn’t be responding.

Jacobson, the only one to respond, noted, “Female desire is a very complex subject.”

Understatement of the century?

The plot is deceptively simple: it’s the story of the Borgia family living their lives in Rome. It just so happens this family’s father is the Pope, and this is the 1490s. It's a different playing field from your average family drama.

That's just the tip of the Borgia iceberg, and here are a few more points to whet your palate while we await the Sunday night premiere.

Because I'm the Pope, That's Why

Since this is, in its way, a family show, we have to start with the trunk of the Borgia family tree: Pope Alexander Sextus aka Rodrigo Borgia aka Holy Father aka Jeremy Irons in a skirt.

Irons is fantastic as the Borgia patriarch. Yo-yoing between Shakespearean dramatics and quiet seething, if the actor isn’t having the most fun of his career, he's certainly fooling me. Mercurial, in turns practical and so devout that he's bought his own press, the character is easy to both love and hate. Irons never lets up on the dichotomy and neither do the writers. Holy Father is a mad mix of true believer, vain peacock, and pragmatic religious and political leader in a time where the position of Pope was the equivalent of being king of the Christian world.

Pope Alexander truly believes that he is the heir to the throne of St. Peter and the voice of the Church as ordained by divine providence. It makes for an interesting conundrum considering that all his sins are still there when the Holy Father's piety is added to the mix. Sorting out which version of the man you're dealing with is all part of the fun.

Fruit of the Borgia Family Tree

Now that you know about the Holy Father, here's a look at the children that grew from the branches of his family tree.

First Born - Cesare Borgia (Francois Arnaud) - Cesare is the oldest of the four children Rodrigo had by his first mistress. He steals pretty much any scene he's in, even when up against acting titans like Irons. Despite being capable of despicable acts, I find it impossible to do anything but adore him. He delineates his causes - church from family, love from duty, necessity from desire - even if it doesn't change his behaviour. His self-awareness and depth of heart (for his friends and family in general; for his sister in particular) somehow counters the fact that he is a cardinal who on occasion murders people. I'm not sure how he does that, and Arnaud's acting being just that good is my only answer. His devotion to both his whole family is heart-breaking in its sincerity and desperation. He doesn't want the life he has been assigned by his father - the life of a priest. He's an expert fighter, a mediocre clergyman, and a loving son and brother, in some ways to the point of insanity.


Prodigal Son - Juan Borgia (David Oakes) - Juan is the second son, raised to be a military commander but was terrible at it. He was terrible at basically everything besides getting drunk, needling one of his siblings past the breaking point, jumping to the wrong conclusions, killing the wrong people, and sleeping with prostitutes. If you needed one of those four things done, then Juan Borgia was your guy. Juan was also Holy Father's favourite of the three boys for absolutely no reason that anyone could see (except Juan). Sadly, Juan's behaviour, some of the worst of which involves baby-dangling à la old-school Michael Jackson, lead to his untimely end. However, I imagine his presence will still be felt this season.

Little Sister - Lucrezia Borgia (Holliday Grainger) - I won't lie, Lucrezia is another one of my favourites. Her physical attributes are obvious but her personality traits are what get me every time. When we first meet her, Lucrezia is a sweet little kitten in episode one. By far one of the most glorious and painful things done over the two seasons we've seen so far was showing us how she learned less than friendly skills and grew from that kitten into a fierce jungle cat.

On the other hand, you have to admit that a huge part of Lucrezia is who she is in relationship to Cesare - much like how Cersei Lannister's relationship to Jaime is so important in Game of Thrones though so far nothing's happened between them. They're chastely cute so we let that slide. Cesare's love and support for her is unconditional. Counting on that allows Lucrezia to make bolder moves, share her secrets and through Cesare's male smokescreen and accomplish things most women couldn't have. Lucrezia's always getting smarter and her metaphorical teeth and claws are just starting to be sharpened to a razor's edge.

Baby Boy - Joffre Borgia (Aidan Alexander) - Innocent little Joffre's the youngest of the lot, younger even than Lucrezia and perhaps all of ten or maybe twelve at the outside when they marry him off to Sancia, Duchcess of Squillaci (played by Emmanuelle Chiriqui) who is much older than him and sleeping with Juan when they meet. We haven't seen much of Joffre yet but he's young. Maybe that will change this year? It's always fun to see the sweet ones corrupted.

Ladies, Ladies, Ladies

Considering the absolute power of the patriarchy in the period of the Borgia, the show manages to produce some of my favorite female characters on TV right now. Mistresses abound because when you're dealing with institutionalized celibacy, wives are non-existent but a cardinal's gotta get their kick's somewhere right? In The Borgias we have the Pope's amazingly self-possessed and gorgeous long-time mistress Vanozza (Joanne Whalley), the mother of his children. She has passed over for his new and equally awesome mistress Giulia Farnezi (Lotte Verbeek).

I'm a modern woman with modern values and I don't like an old man going through mistresses like tissue paper but Giulia and Vanozza are so clever and classy and somehow join forces. The fact that these two women, who could've been torn apart by jealousy and position, instead come together to build an even larger stronger family with a greater purpose is mind-exploding.

The writing and acting between them, and later Lucrezia, is done so carefully and with such consideration that the progression is seamless. I can never pinpoint the exact moment they transition from nemeses to allies. The triad is complete when they bring Lucrezia into their circle, then woe unto the men who try to stand against them. Each woman as their own skill - for example, Giulia Farnezi excels in maths and proceeds to filter through the church accounts and find all the fraudulent entries in ledgers. Vanozza's familiarity with the city gives her untold connections and she can get the three of them into dark places they couldn't imagine otherwise to find information.

Lucrezia, well, in one of my all-time favourite moments of the series thus far Lucrezia is actually made the in loco parentis Pope while the Holy Father is out of town. "Can a woman occupy the chair of St Peter?" a cardinal protests to which Pope Alexander says, annoyed "Well, plainly one does." She, her mother, and Guila then proceed to systematically upend the system to bring change to public works while Holy Father's away, just to give you another taste of their awesomeness.

In the May 2013 issue of WOMEN’S RUNNING, Sparkle actress and singer Jordin Sparks opens up about what she does to maintain her fabulous curves. And, she shares her weight loss journey and gives useful fitness, eating and confidence tips that helped her get ready for bathing suit season.

She also talked about her workout playlists, her dream of running with Fergie and her relationship with singer-songwriter boyfriend, Jason Derulo. Here are the highlights:

On Biggest Inspirations:

“Watching my dad was one of my biggest inspirations.” “There are days I don’t want to get up, let alone run, and Jason’s a great motivator.”

On her music of choice while running?

“Kanye West, Jay Z…and I listen to Jason a lot. I can’t help that—it’s just nice to hear his voice. I’ve also been listening to some new up-tempo stuff of my own that I’m excited for people to hear.”

On her dream Running Buddy?

“Fergie”

On her snacks of choice?

“Baby Carrots, Instant Maple-Brown Sugar Oatmeal, Almonds, Apples, Bananas, Clementines, and La Croix Sparkling Water”

On her workout routine?

“I put my iPod on shuffle and let the song’s pace determine my interval. If it’s a slow song, I turn the incline way up and jog to the beat. If a faster song comes on, I turn the incline down and watch the miles fly by.”

Check out some behind the scenes photos from Jordin’s shoot:

When University of Maryland student Rebecca Martinson's insane email to her Delta Gamma sorority sisters leaked on the Internet, her expletive-ridden rant was just begging to be interpreted by an actor that can pull off the gravitas worthy of the commanding language she used.

Enter Michael Shannon, one of the most electrifying actors working today. His performances in "Boardwalk Empire," "Take Shelter" and "Revolutionary Road," among others, show off the range of an actor with a truly terrifying side.

Check out Funny Or Die's exclusive video of the Oscar nominee reciting Martinson's rant (although we admit we'd rather hear the words coming from Barack Obama's mouth).

One Direction, Rihanna and Carly Rae Jepsen will also contend in several major categories

Taylor Swift, fun. and Maroon 5 lead the finalists for the 2013 Billboard Music Awards, which will air live on Sunday, May 19 beginning at 8/7c on ABC from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

While all three artists are finalists in a whopping 11 categories this year, Swift and Maroon 5 will also compete for the coveted Top Artist prize at this year's ceremony. Swift is coming off of another blockbuster year in which her album "Red" notched the biggest debut sales week of any album in 2013, while Maroon 5 added more hits to its arsenal with songs like "Payphone," "One More Night" and "Daylight." fun., which scored its first No. 1 single with the anthem "We Are Young," will contend in the Top Hot 100 Artist and Top Duo/Group categories, among others.

After scoring 18 category appearances in 2011 and 13 more in 2012, "Diamonds" superstar Rihanna once again lands double-digit finalist slots by competing in 10 categories this year, including Top Artist. Meanwhile, Carly Rae Jepsen's breakout year -- marked by the song of last summer, "Call Me Maybe" -- landed the Canadian pop singer showing in nine categories this year, including Top Hot 100 Song, Top Pop Song, Top Digital Song and Top Radio Song.

And don't forget about One Direction, which released two albums in the U.S. in 2012 and racked up eight spots as a finalist at the 2013 BBMAs. 1D will compete against Swift, Maroon 5, Rihanna and Justin Bieber for the Top Artist prize, and the boy band will square off against Jepsen, Gotye, PSY and the Lumineers for Top New Artist.

Also of note in 2013: the addition of EDM categories at the Billboard Music Awards, which reflects the overwhelming demand for electronic music. David Guetta, Skrillex, Swedish House Mafia and deadmau5 will compete for the Top EDM Album prize, while finalists for Top EDM Song include Baauer's "Harlem Shake," Calvin Harris' "Feel So Close" and Swedish House Mafia's "Don't You Worry Child" (feat. John Martin), respectively.

Billboard Music Awards finalists were based on key fan interactions with music, including album and digital singles sales, radio airplay, touring, streaming and social interactions on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, VEVO, Spotify and other popular online destinations for music. These measurements were tracked year-round by Billboard and its data partners, including Nielsen Entertainment and Next Big Sound.

Swift, Bieber, Bruno Mars and Miguel are all set to take the stage at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards, which will be hosted by Tracy Morgan and executive produced by Don Mischer. Additionally during the broadcast, Billboard will honor Prince with the coveted Billboard Icon Award, and the ingenuity of this year's hitmakers will be celebrated with the new Milestone Award, presented by Chevrolet.  Fans can vote for their favorite finalist now at Billboard.com/milestone.

Along with the Screaming Females, Garbage recorded one hell of a cover of the iconic Patti Smith song.
I got to meet Marissa (the front-woman of The Screaming Females) when I worked for Garbage earlier this year and she is one incredible performer with some fierce guitar skills, as seen in this video, and she's hilariously adorable.

As always, Shirley is a goddess and my day is made.

The future of Futurama is this: It’s ending, again.

As first reported by EW.com, Comedy Central has elected not to renew the cult-fave animated series for Season 8, meaning that the 13-episode back half of Season 7, which begins unspooling June 19, will mark the show’s swan song. The (latest) series finale is set for Sept. 4.

Futurama of course previously was met with cancellation news once before, in 2003, when Fox ended the series after four seasons. Comedy Central ultimately revived the far-out space comedy, and proceeded to renew it for Seasons 6 and 7.

Series creator Matt Groenig tells EW.com that the show may again seek out another new home, saying, “We have many more stories to tell.” But should there be no takers, “This is a really great way to go out. I think these episodes are the best ones we’ve ever done.”

Kim Kardashian has revealed that she has found her first pregnancy "scary".

The reality TV star - who is currently expecting her first child with musician Kanye West - appeared with her family on an E! special with Ryan Seacrest last night (Sunday, April 21).

Kim revealed that she has warned her younger sister Khloe Kardashian against getting pregnant, as she has found it so "painful".

'I'll call Khloe and say 'Don't do it! You're so lucky',' she said.

X Factor USA co-host Khloe said that her sister has been urging her and husband Lamar Odom to use a surrogate or adopt instead, saying: "[Kim says] 'I hate this!'"

"I've had a lot of pain, everywhere. I'm in pain, physically," Kim added. "I get really paranoid [and] I start Googling things, the things that come up are really scary. It just freaks me out all the time.

"I was waiting for this amazing experience where I can just do whatever I want, eat whatever I want, feel great, and it hasn't been that way."

Khloe said: "Her back hurts, her breasts hurt, her stomach hurts, her feet hurts, her head hurts, her eyes hurt, her nails hurt. She cries all the time, too."

Kim also said that she is ready to get married to West, days after settling her divorce from Kris Humphries. Their marriage only lasted for 72 days.

"I do think I would get married again," said Kim. "That's what I've always wanted. And just because you think you find it and you realize that's not it, I was brave enough to realize that quickly and not waste time.

"I found what I really wanted. So I think I definitely do want that."

Kim also defended West over claims that he has left her to deal with the pregnancy on her own.

"He loves watching the show. He travels so much that it's just not a reality for him to be there and be on, but he loves to watch it," she said. "He loves the whole experience."

As if Directioners weren't already desperate to sneak backstage to see One Direction, the lads' latest revelation will have them clamouring for a glimpse behind the scenes.

According to The Sun, the 1D boys have been getting up to some mischief on a Segway - with cheeky Harry Styles getting his kit off in the process.

In an interview with the paper, Louis Tomlinson explained: "Niall turned up recently at a gig with a Segway. We were all spinning about on it, then Harry decided to strip off and go streaking. He turned a few heads."

Bandmate Niall went on: "He's a braver boy than me. It can get a bit chilly when you pick up speed.

"It can be quite cold backstage too."

Unfortunately for Harry, the nudity isn't always confined to the backstage area.

Liam revealed: "I pulled Harry's trousers down on stage one night. What I hadn't considered was that I might whip his pants off by accident too - which happened."

A red-faced Harry added: "Worst of all though, it was a night when the concert was being filmed for our new movie. If it stays in you'll see what I have to offer - in 3D."

Just one more reason to get your This Is Us tickets early when the film is released in August.

cannot wait tbh
