You just can’t keep a good comedian down. Sacha Baron Cohen takes even the most mundane of situations, and finds a means of turning it into comedy. If he isn’t throwing Kim Jong Il’s fake ashes all over Ryan Seacreast – then he’s killing an old lady on stage.

The Biebs just can’t do anything right lately. In a very short space of time, the Canadian has managed to sully his reputation quite badly. The problems seem to stem from a recent fascination with prostitutes. First, he was caught leaving a brothel under a bed sheet. Then he got hit in the face with a bottle. Then a ‘mystery woman’ (prostitute) posted a video of him in his bed – and now this.
Perhaps its because she’s gotten a little older, or a little more comforatble with her celebrity status – but for some reason Beyonce has been pretty playful on her tour stop in Australia.

Why has it taken the world so long to come up with this – it’s a total no-brainer. IfOnly is the name of a new site that is bringing people and celebrities together – and making serious cash while doing it.

Yup, you read that headline correctly. In what was a truly weird night in Amsterdam, Miley began by opening the MTV Europe Music Awards with her hit song “We Can’t Stop”. That wasn’t the weird bit though, the weird bit was the a space-themed silver spandex suit she wore, and the twerking she did on stage with a female dwarf. Also, she smoked a joint.

It’s true, the bike helmet does take some of the open-air appeal away from biking – but it may not have to be that way for much longer, as two women in Sweden have come up with an ingenious solution.

It can be said with a certain degree of confidence that those people who order gluten-free pizzas don’t even know what gluten is, what it does, or why they’re actually rejecting it. It’s a fad now, and the health-conscious are paying good money for bland bread, made out of cornflour. But why?
Yves Rossy and his jet-pack are by no means a new story. But flight after flight, he continues to capture the world’s imagination with his ability to fly at over 300km/h with apparatus that is controlled in the palm of his hand.

This kid has clearly not seen a day without playing football. How else could he be this good at such a young age? We’ve seen all the pros do some fancy flicks on the sidelines, like Mesut Ozil’s chewing gum trick, but we’ve never been given a performance quite like this one.
‘Time’ is known for their world-class journalism, hard hitting analysis and classy magazine covers. Never one to take cheap shots at public figures, the world was shocked when they decided to make a fat joke on their most recent cover.

Jaimie Alexander – heard the name? If not, don’t be too concerned. Apart from appearing in a few low-budget horror flicks, she hasn’t made much of an impression on Hollywood. That is, until she decided to step out onto the red carpet without any underwear.
What do you do if you want a live feed on your smartphone that displays all of your body’s biometric data? You shove a massive computer chip under your skin, of course. Tim Cannon, a biohacker, recently became the first person to have one of these implanted – and it looks pretty painful.
