Hayley Hasselhoff is arguably best known for her surname. While the model may be trying to carve a career in her own right, with a name so recognisable, she'll forever be tagged with the moniker of 'David Hasselhoff's Daughter.' That said, however, Hayley is beginning to carve her own lane away…

Regardless of what Ke$ha says, the only way I've ever woken up "feeling like P Diddy" is if P Diddy wakes up every morning feeling like death incarnate; regretting every moment of existence leading up to that point, as his alarm blares and bleats by his bedside table. But I…

One of the internet's biggest (and most unusual) stars has got to be Dr Sandra Lee, aka: Dr Pimple-Popper. Seriously, if you told me a couple of years ago that a dermatologist's YouTube channel would take off big-time on the internet, I would have laughed in your face. Yet she…

Ugh. Why is it so hot?! Call it a weird anomaly, call it climate change, but whatever it is, it needs to go. Summer, in theory, is a great idea; plenty of outside time, plenty of festivals and lots of swimming time, but the novelty of all that wore off back…

Losing weight sucks, you guys. If I raided an ancient tomb and found a genie who granted me three wishes, at least one of those wishes would be to make it so that I could get Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's body by doing little more than just eating pizza all…

I like to think that the best (and easiest) way to get the body of your dreams is simply to drastically lower your standards and expectations. Getting a six pack, perfectly-sculpted biceps or whatever will take months of dedicated training and careful eating, and I simply do not have the…

It's a sad fact that people still viewing breastfeeding in an archaic, outmoded manner. Mothers everywhere are still being shamed left, right and centre for the (apparently) heinous crime of making sure that their children are fed in public.

Ah, summer - with its long days, warm evenings, and endless opportunities to hang out with friends and loved ones, what's not to love about the season? Well, other than the BLISTERING HEAT, of course. Seriously, I get that most people enjoy the kind of weather that allows for barbecues…

Fortune cookies (whether they actually taste good or not) are one of the best things about ordering Chinese food. Who doesn't get a little bit excited about what their future could have in store? Unfortunately, not every fortune turns out to be as helpful or as optimistic as we'd like. From…
