As I get older, I’ve realised that my friends don’t always have to play the part of the leading lady and be my best friend and it’s ok to have acquaintances that stand in the chorus line but what do you do if you have a friend who always wants to be the star of the show? Read more »
Winston Churchill once said that there are two things in life that are guaranteed, death and taxes. A strong, healthy marriage unfortunately didn’t make the cut. And this is why I believe wholeheartedly in pre-nups.
Bad divorces can happen to good people and pre-nups act as a financial safety net. Kanye West may have forgotten his table manners at the MTV Video Music Awards but he’s right about one thing. People who refuse to sign pre-nups are gold diggers, pure and simple.
Lily Allen made an appearance on Neighbour’s last night showcasing her song ‘22’ which is currently at number 13 in the Aria Top 50 Single Charts.
‘22’ is about a woman who had the world at her feet at 22 but now she’s almost 30 years old and doesn’t have a career or a boyfriend.
According to the song lyrics, “It’s sad but it’s true how society says her life is already over. There’s nothing to do and there’s nothing to say ‘til the man of her dreams comes along, picks her up and puts her over his shoulder.”
But how many number one singles, movies, magazine covers or product endorsements does it take for celebrities like Lily Allen to realise they are ‘society’?
The word nude usually brings up images of celebrities desperate to get their kit off in a bid to launch or revive a dying career.

When asked the question “Your clothing liberated women in the 1920s. Are you still a feminist?” Lagerfield ‘channeling’ Coco said “I was never a feminist because I was never ugly enough for that.”
But why is it that feminism and fashion seem to be mutually exclusive?
Giorgio Armani apparently once said that “When a woman alters her look too much from season to season, she becomes a fashion victim.” Admittedly, most of us have been a fashion victim at some point in our lives – either buying clothing that don’t fit, sacrificing our bodies for uncomfortable clothes or shoes, walking down the street in a short skirt or open toed shoes in sub zero conditions or buying a smaller size in the off chance we lose weight. Here’s ten ways to avoid becoming fashion road kill.
Gym rage is on the rise, and whether you’re about to do your first spin class or you’re a regular in the weightsroom, Gillian Nalletamby gives you some tips to help you play nice in the gym.
Arriving at the gym 40 minutes before a popular spin class was about to commence, I found to my dismay that every bike had been accounted for. Tensions rose and a fight broke out when one person accused another gym member of stealing their bike.
So how do you stop gym rage from occurring (and I’m not talking about steroid abuse) and what is the proper gym etiquette to endear you to your fellow gym members?
