Okay, it’s official. The Hadid sisters are taking over. Everything’s coming up Hadid. In a few years, every runway will be all Hadid, all the time.

Because one year after Gigi Hadid walked the Victoria’s Secret runway, Bella Hadid is following in her footsteps.

Yup, Bella will be walking in this year’s Victoria’s Secret show.

It’s a big deal. Not only because the Victoria’s Secret show cements any model as a cool person to watch, or because she might get to wear a big set of wings (exciting stuff), but because this year, the show will take place on Paris. Fancy.


Stop everything. Pringles are a biscuit not a crisp

Everyone has been attempting ‘Pringle Ringles’ this week (once you pop etc) but there’s something about the challenge that should send a chill down your spine.

This video of Pringles being made is deeply satisfying

After all these years of scoffing Pringles, it turns out that the snack isn’t even a potato chip or crisp.

While Wotsits and Monster Munch do qualify as potato products even though they are made from corn, the humble Pringle is technically a biscuit or cake.

It is no laughing matter either, with the case being taken to Britain’s High Court back in 2008.

When Daisy the 13-year-old beagle ruptured a disc in her back, her family knew it was time for her to be put down.

She was too old for surgery and in a lot of pain.

‘It was hard for us to see her like that,’ Victor Flores, one of Daisy’s owners, told metro.co.uk.

After speaking with the vet to work out what was best, Victor’s mum, Shannon Adams, decided to postpone putting Daisy down for just one more day.

Brownie Batter, obviously.

But as we’ve gotten older, wizard birthdays seem to have died down.

Trick-or-treating isn’t really a thing anymore, is it?

Sure, kids are let out to roam free dressed as ghosts and ghouls – but after shouting ‘Trick-or-treat’ at their neighbours, they’re only ever offered a treat.

In fact, kids today don’t even expect to be given a trick. Which pretty much defeats the whole purpose of the phrase they’re calling at every door.

So we think it’s time we put the true meaning back into trick-or-treat – starting with these chocolate-covered brussels sprouts, which are… Read the full story

There are two major benefits of being in a relationship.

One of them is that you don’t have to die alone (also, and related, fending off questions about your relationship status at family parties).

The other is that you get to dress up in a couple costume at Halloween, which we all know is the zenith of smug coupledom.

Following in the lovely footsteps of ASDA, Toys R Us is now taking measures to make toy-shopping more enjoyable for children with autism.

On Sunday November 6th, Toys R Us branches across the UK will hold a quiet hour, when the lights will be dimmed, fluorescent lighting will be scaled back, no in-store music will be played, and no announcements will be played through the speakers.

There will also be designated quiet zones, where children can take a break if shopping becomes a bit too much.

Sipping a gin and tonic will never be the same again.

The price of gin is about to rocket up due to how current alcohol duties are pegged to inflation.

Inflation is expected to increase by 3% this year, according to forecasters, meaning the cost of spirits could shoot up by around 34p a litre.

That would add 2.3% to the price of a bottle of Gordon’s gin (usually around £15 a litre) and 1.5% to a bottle of Bombay Sapphire (usually around £22).

When you go to an Italian restaurant, the dream is to feel like you’ve been transported to Italy, and are tucking into a bowl of linguine by a riviera, or something.

Usually this is achieved, sort of, by just making the food as close to authentic Italian cuisine as possible.

Carluccio’s has cheated a bit by introducing a virtual reality experience.

From November, Carluccio’s will be giving out Google Cardboard glasses. When you slot your phone into the glasses and access a special link provided by Carluccio’s, you’ll get a virtual reality look at areas of Italy where new meals on the… Read the full story
