Man Candy - Andre Hamann


After stumbling upon his Twitter @Andre_Hamann we fell a little bit in love, then we went browsing his Instagram instagram.com/andrehamann and we fell inappropriately head over heels. Clearly Andre is a model... surprise, surprise but he's multitalented too. Not only can he stand there looking super pretty he can also play guitar; really really well (see what we mean about falling in love with him). AND he's got his own clothing brand hazeandglory.com, which we'd happily spend our entire wages on. What a catch! We really struggled narrowing down the pictures to post here so after you've had a ponder head over to his instagram for more!





Our eyes are forever grateful to you Andre!

TOWIE - Final Episode.



TOWIE is over, that’s it, done and dusted, and it’s a wrap. Season 12 has come to a close and despite a distinct lack of Mario (tut tut) it wasn’t all that bad, after a stead start we got ourselves plenty of Ricky & Jess screen time, Lockie returned, Dan took hit top off (although not nearly often enough), there was new romance, classic cheating rumours, family feuds and of course, Arg being Arg. Here’s what we learnt from the final episode…

1. Arg is basically Alan from The Hangover, only less beardy and much less funny; he’s a shit Alan.
2. We got far too excited at the prospect of Charlie’s hair looking good.
3. The tables were set to turn; Chloe was almost the new Ferne on the outside of an Essex family mafia.
4. Lewis would totally have been the object of our cheers at sports day.
5. Naked pictures alert! Rookie mistake, have they learnt nothing from Arg?
6. The psychic card man had so much frizz it gave us anxiety, Poor bloke.
7. No matter what the fancy dress theme a bow tie can always be worn. Apparently.
8. Candy floss is the best peace offering of all time – if a Mulberry bag or trip to Paris isn’t available.
9. The Grease inspired fun fair is the best party idea, EVER. Bravo people of Essex.
10. 50’s Lockie looks exactly like normal Lockie… FIT.
11. 50’s Tom also looks exactly like normal Tom… FIT.
12. Charlie has proved to the world he can grow hair and it has served a fancy dress purpose, but surely now is the time to part company, please.
13. Bobby is now the envy of anyone with a pulse. Dan seemed to enjoy the smooch almost as much as Bobby.
14. More Grace screeching, our ears can’t take much more. We’d rather listen to Justin Bieber.
15. 50’s Ricky looks exactly like normal Ricky (wearing a vest)… way FIT.
16. If TOWIE introduced a red button commentary feature Ricky would have to do it, he’s the drama commentary king.
17. Arg’s nervous laugh is so close to crossing over from endearing to crazy.
18. When Lydia saw the shoebox her eyes lit up like Arg at a buffet.
19. We need much more Dan action.
20. Elliott was doing a lovely romancey speech and all we could think was how on earth have we not noticed his veneer lips before. It’s kind of adorable.
21. Arg managed to pull off actual romance, bless him. However if it’s not Shane Filan singing it we’re not interested.
22. We definitely missed Mario.

Holly Hagan, 'The Singer'.



Prepare to be shocked and amazed; we certainly were! Geordie Shore’s Holly Hagan can sing… really! And to prove it she’s released an actual track!

Holly has teamed up with dance music giants, All Around The World, to create the track and it’s no doubt going to surprise plenty of people; something she’s incredibly excited about. Holly said, “I never thought I’d have the opportunity to be able to make my own music record, it’s like a dream come true.”

The track is a cover of Kelis’s ‘Milkshake’, which was a huge hit (prepare to be amazed again) over 10 years ago, seriously! (We feel old). Holly has vamped up the track giving it a whole new Clubland twist, turning into an instant dance floor filler.

I’ve always been a fan of the song, and now I’ve given my own take on it. Since my early teens, I’ve always loved Clubland, and dance music and so do all my friends. This track is unapologetically Clubland.

I hope everyone can have a sing and dance along to it, and just have fun, because that is my intention.

The whole idea came about when Holly was partying, no surprise there, and heard a Milkshake bootleg featuring 50 Cent and Mary J Blige. Falling in love with the song lead her to producer/DJ Steve Cocky and the rest as they say is history.

If you’re a big Geordie Shore fan, the whole, Holly can sing thing, might not be the biggest shock. As she starred in a homemade YouTube clip along side Charlotte Crosby where she showed off her powerful voice covering City High ‘What Would You Do’. However to most, this is somewhat of a revelation! Don’t just take our word for it though, check out Holly’s skills for yourself…

Lateysha Loves



MTV's favourite Welsh star Lateysha Grace is fast becoming a fashion guru for her fans so it made perfect sense for her to bring out her own range.

Lateysha teamed up with www.LoveSasha.com for her first Autumn/Winter range that became an instant hit and boasted incredible sales, so much so Love Sasha were more than delighted to team up with Lateysha once more for her Summer range.

At a slender size 10 with curves in all the right places it’s no surprise she’s body-confident and developing into a proud role model for real girls. What better way to showoff than in style!

The Lateysha Loves collection is a mix of floral, colourful, two-piece and monochrome items; perfect for the summer trends and reflective of her own personal style. You’d be surprised how many famous faces bring out a collection they wouldn’t wear themselves but that’s not the case here; she’s got her summer wardrobe perfectly catered for.

"I'm abroad quite a lot this Spring Summer, I'm off to a big party in the Netherlands, A beach theme party in Belgium, and of course, my annual 2 weeks in Magaluf and with my collection I don't need to buy anything more than just my bikinis."

You may think it’d be a tad expensive to get the Lateysha look, but you’d be wrong. She’s not someone who’ll go out and spend £100’s on clothes and Lateysha has worked hard to ensure fans of her collections don’t have to either; personally hammering down supplies to keep prices rock bottom. Everyone loves a stylish bargain and with prices ranging from just £8.99 to £29.99 you’d find it hard to beat!

Here’s a snippet of what she has to offer… you can find the rest at http://www.lovesasha.com/lateyshaloves.html

EastEnders - Hello Ma (Again)



Nick is ALIVE, we know it, Charlie knows it, Carol knows it and soon everyone will know it. He’s heading back to Walford to cause trouble for Dot, his long suffering Ma.


We all thought he was dead and buried when son, Charlie, arrived and delivered the news but since then things haven’t quite added up. Finally speculation ended during Monday’s episode when Carol answered Charlie’s phone and instantly recognised those sinister tones.

But why did he and Charlie fake his death? And why is he soon to be heading back? We can guarantee the answers won’t be boring!

With EastEnders 30th anniversary approaching, Executive Producer, Dominic Treadwell-Collins said “it’s only fitting that our original bad boy – and soap’s most iconic villain – returns to Albert Square to cause more trouble for his Ma. It’s time for the indomitable June Brown to have the Nick story to end all Nick stories – and with Declan and Pauline in the mix too, it’s going to be an exciting bumpy ride as the Cottons begin to unravel…”

It’s been 5 years since John Altman last wore Nick’s infamous leather jacket and he’s very much looking forward to his return, “After a five year break I'm very pleased and much looking forward to returning to EastEnders. With the promise of some hard hitting and gritty storylines I'm sure the residents of Albert Square will be none too pleased to see Nick Cotton back on the streets of Walford. I'm also looking forward to working alongside Declan Bennett and Pauline McLynn. And of course being reunited and working once again with my ‘dear old Ma’, the wonderful June Brown. ”

It won’t be long until we’re hearing ‘Hello, Ma”, again!

Marnie Simpson - Eye, Eye.



Geordie Shore’s new girl (when we say new girl we mean newest girl) Marnie is drop dead gorgeous, but she’s got a secret. The blue-eyed-beauty is actually a brown-eyed-girl!

She’s always been a huge fan of experimenting with different eye colours to achieve different looks. For years she’s had to wear uncomfortable and unnatural looking lenses; after all there’s no point having striking eyes if nobody believes they’re real! So to solve this problem Marnie teamed up with www.mycosmeticlenses.co.uk and created her own range of lenses.

The range includes, sea green; light hazel, mistry grey, pure blue and pure violet. You’re spoilt for choice! It was important to Marnie that the lenses looked natural and were comfortable and she’s achieved just that.

"I would often get complimented for my lovely pure blue eyes, and would just smile and agree. No one would be able to tell."

"I worked hard with the design team and everything on the site I'm very proud of."

"We also worked hard to get the shape and makeup of the lenses correct so that they're extremely comfortable to wear in the eye, as in the past I've worn lenses that really irritated."

Marnie’s lenses start from just £12.99 (including free delivery – yay) AND they have a whole 1 year life after first use… now that’s what we call value for money!

So if you’re an avid user of lenses and you’re looking for better quality or perhaps you’re thinking about experimenting with your look, you know exactly where to head!

TOWIE - Episode Nine.



The penultimate episode of TOWIE hit our screens Sunday night there were family feuds, roller-skates, DIY and some Arg bashing. The only thing missing was Dan and Lockie topless in dungarees… oh wait! Here’s what we learnt…

1. Dan and Lockie are the new chuckle brothers, only less hairy and 7% more handsome.
2. Chemistry is like Chlamydia, you’ve either got it or you haven’t. Bobby is the new Yoda.
3. There was a family feud at a wedding. That’s about as rare as Arg putting his foot it in.
4. Ricky was staying well out of it. Wise, wise boy.
5. Lydia’s sister Georgia has arrived, now there’s two of them. They’re multiplying!
6. Oh look Jasmin is still on TOWIE!
7. Lewis won’t be the face of B&Q any time soon.
8. It’s all Arg’s fault. Always.
9. Debbie must have an ‘I heart Arg’ t-shirt hidden away somewhere.
10. We get the impression Georgia doesn’t like Arg very much. In fact she probably like thrush more than him.
11. It’s only a matter of time before the Sims family brings out a range of headgear. It’ll be coming to a T K Maxx near you.
12. Tom got 18% more attractive every time he appeared on screen. Which was only about 3 times, but still, the curls and stubble action is working for us.
13. If roller-skating was an Olympic sport Vas would win Gold, but only if the team outfits were on trend, obviously.
14. After all that with Arg, Georgia didn’t even get a milkshake!
15. It’s mandatory in Essex for every guy to own a pair of tight white jeans. Lockie was rocking them like a Sailor at a Wham concert.
16. Chloe and Ferne were alone in a room together and not a single insult was thrown. That’s some serious progress.
17. We will never laugh within 15 feet of Danielle just incase she thinks we’re laughing at her.
18. Lauren needs to get some friends apparently.
19. Being told off by Jess is like being told off by the really lovely teacher everyone likes, she’s not angry she’s just disappointed. We feel ashamed on Arg’s behalf.
20. During the Jess V Arg V Elliott ‘chat’, Ricky looked like a toddler who was about to start tugging on his penis to make the grownups stop shouting.
21. Ricky wins the award for best conversation exit, ever.

Holly Hagan - The Fashion Bible.



It’s no secret that Geordie Shore’s Holly Hagan is HOT! She’s transformed from rainbow haired ‘baby elephant’ (her words, not ours) to bonafide brunette goddess. She’s hit the gym and changed her diet and now has curves to show off in all the right places; and what better way to show them off than in her very own collection.

Teaming up with The Fashion Bible, Holly has created the perfect summer wardrobe that fits real girls; girls with actual boobs and bums! We ourselves boast quite the pair and have spent far too many days trawling the high street in the hope of finding something remotely fashionable, that’ll fit without looking like we’re 6 months pregnant or about to go Hulk and burst out completely. One look at Holly’s new Summer Holiday Additions and we’re spoilt for choice!

We want to buy practically everything, and normally for clothes that are made to fit a real woman you’d expect to be paying a premium, but luckily for us prices start at just £8.99… yes, really, we’ve double checked and everything! That teamed up with sizes ranging from 6 to 26 there really is something for everyone.

Thanks to Holly we can finally enjoy summer in style!

Here’s a selection of the collection… you can find the rest over at, www.thefashionbible.co.uk/clothing-c1/holly-hagan-c128

TOWIE - Episode Eight.



We missed Sunday’s episode, we’re so ashamed. Our TOWIE education has been stunted and we missed the Arg and Lydia revelation. It won’t happen again. Wednesday’s episode gave us some actual genuine emotional moments; we didn’t think they had it in them! Here’s what we learnt…

1. It’s true. Shopping does make everything ok. Vas is so wise.
2. Arg’s shorts are always too short.
3. Gemma and Danny Dyer are the Essex dream. Or nightmare, we can’t decide.
4. Tom looked like the beautiful love child of Rambo and Action Man.
5. When Vas had a teary face we wanted to hug him and squish his adorable little cheeks.
6. Danielle and Vas’s ‘make up’ was the most genuine conversation we’ve seen on TOWIE is year!
7. We’re considering setting up a fund to pay for Ricky’s therapy after walking in on Arg and Lydia’s morning fun.
8. Elliott in proud big brother mode is more adorable than a baby hugging a puppy with three legs.
9. Fernes ‘black book’ of men was basically the Essex phonebook.
10. Lockie having his back, sack and crack wax was too good not to watch twice. He has a chest as smooth as a baby’s bum and the arse of big foot!
11. Lauren couldn’t stay mad at baby face Bloor for longer than 15 seconds. She held out well.
12. All Gemma wants is a proper geezer with the manners of a prince and the bank balance of an heir… because they exist.
13. Debbie doesn’t even get fazed when Arg overshares, this is proof she’s had to endure it far too often.
14. Ricky missed half the wedding because he was staring at Jess… our ovaries just melted.
15. Jess looked bloody beautiful. Like a Disney princess without the evil Queen or dwarves.
16. Ferne set Gemma up with a 23 year old she met in Vegas who’d already kissed her. I don’t think we’ve found the next Cilla.
17. We don’t know exactly what Dan, Diags and Lewis were talking about, we were far too busy staring at Dan.
18. THE GC HAS TO STOP!
19. Danielle and Lauren both standing at the bar wasn’t even slightly awkward. Said no one ever.
20. Elliott should write a book on romance.
21. Arg should buy an advanced copy.

24.7.14

Geordie Shore - Episode One.


Geordie Shore is officially BACK! Oh how we’ve missed those Geordie scoundrels getting mortal and christening the shag pad. Episode one was minus legends Vicky and Charlotte but we did get to see newcomer Aaron in action. It didn’t take them long to get into the swing of things. Here’s what we learnt…

1. Holly is looking frickin’ hot!
2. Scotty doesn’t understand the logistics of a surprise.
3. Oh James you joker you… someone needs to help him out with the definition of funny, please.
4. Word of the day. Sassy. Half way between slut and classy.
5. Shocker, Gaz’s mate has already shagged Holly.
6. James thinks Aaron looks like a colouring book. We’d paint him by numbers any time! (That made as much sense as we planned)
7. We’re not quite sure what’s happening with Scotty’s hair!
8. Gaz daring girls to kiss him shouldn’t theoretically work. But it does.
9. Holly was the meat in an Aaron and Scotty T sandwich. She’s been in worse places.
10. Marnie’s ‘Im staying away from the boys’ statement lasted about 5 hours. Oh the willpower.
11. James got fit… literally.
12. The fancy dress theme for Gaz’s birthday party was pimps and whores, so just an average night out on the toon for him then.
13. All the lad wants is sex with no strings attached. You’d think by now he’s have realised that is too much to ask.
14. You can’t take off a tortoise’s shell.
15. Gaz telling a tortoise to fuck off with a serious face was much funnier than it should have been,
16. Scotty makes a beautiful whore.
17. When the ‘fat, old stripper’ headed straight for Gaz he looked like someone had taken a shit on his pillow. The horror.
18. Two consecutive shags, equals love.
19. When Scotty was sprawled over Gaz they looked like poster boys for Brokeback Mountain 2, adorable couple.
20. Marnie dropped the C bomb.
21. Next week we get our VICKY fix!

EastEnders - Ben is back!



There’s a new Mitchell heading to the Square, now when we say new we only half mean it. Ben Mitchell is BACK, but with a brand new face in the form of Harry Reid.

Ben left Walford after finally being banged up for killing poor ol’ Hev in 2012. Earlier this year little Ben was released early from prison but has since given Albert Square a wide birth… but that’s all about to change.

There’s drama aplenty waiting for Ben when he arrives, there’s daddy Phil, Lola and baby Lexi and most importantly Hev’s best mate Shirely. We can’t imagine there’ll be much need for many mini quiches at his welcome home party!

Harry said “I'm very excited to be joining EastEnders – not only because it's a great show but also to be playing Ben, a character that is so renowned and from such an iconic family. I'm looking forward to getting started and working closely with the legendary Steve McFadden. I can't wait to become a fully-fledged Mitchell.”

The man responsible for making EastEnders watchable again Dominic Treadwell-Collins, Executive Producer said: “Ben’s half-Beale and half-Mitchell and Harry perfectly encapsulates both the Mitchell danger and Beale heart that make Ben such a complex character. Ben’s return to the Square is going to have big repercussions for his family, his friends – and his enemies. Plus a few residents he hasn’t even met yet…”

Ben will be back with a bang later this year.

17.7.14

TOWIE - Episode Six.



Episode 6 already!! Wednesday’s episode gave us fashion drama, new looks, more Ricky action and polo. When we say polo we mean people at the polo, nobody wants to watch actual polo. Here’s what we learnt…

1. Elliott spray-painted those jeans over Damn Wright; it’s the only logical explanation.
2. Gemma loves Bobby more than bread, initially a loving gesture but on closer inspection who actually loves bread on its own?
3. His mouth was saying no but Diags’s feet were saying yes, oh yes.
4. In Essex it takes 4 men to buy a pair of shoes.
5. Making all your kids friends one day shouldn’t sound sinister, somehow Ferne made it.
6. Ricky was getting his Yoda on again and the bit-of-rough-sexy-stubble was back.
7. New Grace sounds just like old Grace… unfortunately.
8. We couldn’t agree more with Chloe! It’s raining and you arrange a garden meet Charlie?! Did you not even consider the hair frizz!!
9. We didn’t pay much attention to what Charlie was saying, we were more focused on wondering if he physically can’t grow more facial hair or if it’s style choice.
10. Victoria Beckham certainly wouldn’t get offended if Kat Slater didn’t like her fashion show.
11. Vas chose an event where everyone is dressed super dapper to go camo… we so don’t understand being on trend.
12. Arg gets 64% less twatish when he’s around Lydia.
13. Grace finds Fran intimidating. This is the same Fran who looks like she’d lose a fight with a Borrower! She would however win a mouthy match against a 13-year-old chav.
14. Tom went from Polo Gent to Grease Lightening Hunk during his outfit change. We know which we prefer…
15. Elliott isn’t good at speeches? Lies! We recall several of his Wright almighty monologues he so loves to share.
16. Vas, Jaz, Paz… she’s got a degree in buying and merchandising, alright!
17. Agent Ricky went straight in with the killer question, Arg & Lydia? He got it from a never to a who knows within seconds.
18. We know Fran and Grace had an argument of sorts but we have no idea what was said, we had to press mute.
