After a party while waiting for the first train to go back home I was all alone on this deserted trainstation in 's-Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands. To kill time, I decided to take a picture. Hope you like the result!
The Beatles did it. So did the Spice Girls. And Katy Perry will do it soon. As the latest pop phenomenon of the moment it makes sense that One Direction also make the leap into the big screen.
However, the One Direction boys have their own ideas for their movie debut – they want to remake Romeo And Juliet.
"Movies are something we would consider. But it would have to be what we want," Harry Styles tells The Sun. "We would love to do Romeo And Juliet, as depicted by One Direction, and we should play the parts – Niall would be Juliet!"
And it could happen too, as Niall Horan has said that he would play a female part for the good of 1D,
"I don't really mind playing Juliet, if I'm honest. I'd do whatever is good for the group," we imagine he said with a resigned sigh. "I'm there. We are all there for each other."
Ahhh, bless him.
If boss Simon Cowell doesn't like the idea of the boys starring in a Shakespearian tragedy, there's always the option of casting actors to play the boys in a biopic about their journey to becoming international teen heartthrobs.
Who would the boys like to see play them in a film about their lives? Harry wants Orlando Bloom, Liam Payne thinks Taylor Lautner should play him, Louis Tomlinson wants Leonardo DiCaprio, and Niall thinks Tom Felton should be him on the big screen. As for Zayn Malic… er, he wants Louis to portray him.
Brand new US TV series Revenge follows a heroine who's out to get her...wait for it...revenge, and the leading lady, Emily Thorne, has got us thinking about all the other fictional heroines who kick ass and destroy people who've hurt them. So here's a gallery of some of our favourites. Who's yours?
The blonde, blue-eyed Emily VanCamp looks like butter wouldn’t melt, but as her character Emily Thorne, she’s out to wreak Revenge on all of the powerful, moneyed types who destroyed her father’s life. One by one, she’ll take them all out using very manipulative techniques, all the while getting closer and closer to arch-nemesis Victoria Grayson’s son. And she doesn’t kill them all. In a truly twisted way, she’d actually prefer to see them suffer alive. Eeeek!

Although Abi Phillips is just as bubbly as her Hollyoaks character, she's a bit more clued up than dopey Liberty Savage. We caught up with her ahead of Hollyoaks' Enchanted Forest festival special.
Who's your favourite person to work with on the Hollyoaks set?
I don't have a specific person - I love working with my family (the Savages). We get on great, but Danny (Mac) and James (Atherton) literally just bully me because of my accent. My dad (Dirk Savage) and we just get on great. And then there's Joe (Tracini, who plays Dennis Savage) – he's sarcastic, so it's just really funny and I really enjoy working with them.
Why do Danny and James take the mickey out of your accent?
Because it's Brummie! It's like Awllriiiighhht!
What's the best thing about being in Hollyoaks?
It's the experiences you get. I'm learning so much. I never used to any acting, but I'm learning how to do different things and I'm meeting so many interesting people and I get to see how things work. Everyone's really lovely to each other and I get to sing as well which is good.
Are you singing in the festival episode?
This time it isn't me who saves the day…so you're going to have to watch and see who does! What type of music have you got coming up? I've got a lot of songs. There's fast ones, there's ones taking the mick out of people who told me that I can't do things. They're quite funny. And I've got Adele-ish numbers - I've started learning the guitar and I've got a lot of ballads in there.
What's your funniest festival moment?
Ages ago, I had a really really rubbish phone at a festival in Spain. This guy came up to me and was like 'Give me your phone'. Because it was so crap I just gave it to him and was like 'Yeah, sure'. He looked at it and was like 'Actually you can have it back'! I'm going to my first proper festival this year – Creamfields. That should be good.
What storylines are coming up for Liberty?
We've got a massive storyline about the caravan. It's so funny because my character is such a dope and she doesn't think about what she's saying. We've got this massive festival stuff coming up, too!
What type of storylines would you like to have?
My brothers are so overprotective of me – I'd really like my character to go a bit wild on the boy front. It would get so many people in trouble and they you'd get to learn what the family's about. It'll be cool to see why they're like that as well.
Also, you'd get to get off with loads of fit people…
Yeah, that's cool! [lots of giggles].
Find out what fate awaits Liberty in the Enchanted Forest festival special of Hollyoaks on Channel 4 at 6.30pm on Friday 8 June. Also make sure you're on heatworld.com to catch heat4, our exclusive live web show.
We'll have Jessica Forrest, Danny Mac and James Atherton on the sofa with Will Best and Lucie Cave!
Over at the halls, the Savages are making themselves very very unwelcome. Dirk's on true disgusting form and Barney, Annalise and Scott tell Will that he's got to get rid of them.
"Thanks for keeping me in the loop, by the way"
Doug's still wallowing in bed because he's not ready to come out to everyone. Texas and Leanne are being supportive – Texas a bit more than Leanne, perhaps. Texas eventually gets Doug and Ste to talk, but Ste's furious because he's been left to do all of the work, with only Barney to help him. Just as Doug's about to tell Ste that he's still in love with him and hasn't forgotten about him, he feels awkward around Barney and has to leave. Ste just about manages with the deli, and Brendan pays him a visit to help get rid of rude customers. In a roundabout way, he says that he's looking out for Ste.
"Once a whore, always a whore"
Mercedes is putting on a brave face – well, 'brave' might not be the word for it, because she's started selling sex again. Doctor Browning's lured her back into it. That morning, in the hospital, he tells Lynsey that Mercy's back on the game and says: "once a whore, always a whore". Lynsey is furious and rushes to see Mercedes. They have a fight – Mercy says she's totally over her experience with Silas and that Lynsey's the one who needs help. Lynsey storms off.
"What is wrong with people, eh? I mean, you think you know a woman…"
But later, Lynsey sees a news report saying that Silas could have murdered 100 people. Riley gets home and just wants to chill out but when Lynsey can't get through to Mercedes, she panics and tells Riley she's got to go and find her. Riley doesn't understand why, then Lynsey tells him that Mercedes is making money through sex. He's furious and goes outside to start punching walls, hulk hulk smashy smash style.
Doug sees him and tells him to come over for some beers and a chat. All's fine, but Leanne drops the bomb that Doug's gay, and Riley's fuming that he hasn't been told before – he's meant to be Doug's best mate!
"She invited me back to her room and she's gone crazy"
Over at a seedy hotel, Mercedes has lured an unwilling punter into a bedroom. But the moment he reminds her of Silas, she breaks down and locks herself in the toilet. Luckily, the man answers the phone to Lynsey and tells her where they are. She goes to see Mercedes and she breaks down.
How's Mercedes going to get closure about Silas? Will Doug ever tell Ste how he feels? What does Brendan want from Ste? Are the Savages ever going to leave the halls?
If you've been watching ITV2's new show The Exclusives you'll know all about the six wannabes journalists, fighting it out for their dream job.
And if you've not been watching it, you should.
On tonight's episode, the rookies get their hands on celebrity couple Chantelle Houghton and Alex Reid for Closer magazine.
They're set the challenge of recreating an iconic royal photograph to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, and opt for a photo of Prince William and Kate Middleton on their wedding day last April.
A right royal mess
But it doesn't quite go to plan.
After failing to find a replica of Kate's gorgeous wedding dress for Chantelle to wear, Chris Goddard; an expert seamster – or not – gets to work on his own fabulous creation. Leaving it to the last minute, Chris sits down the night before the shoot with a piece of lace, a pair of nail scissors and a travel sewing kit.
The next day, Chris arrives at the shoot with his handiwork, which unfortunately for Chantelle only consists of a top half; a top half that needs to be fastened to pregnant Chantelle using bulldog clips.
Nice.
"I look worse than the Princess in Shrek," she exclaims.
The big news is that Silas – you know, the serial killer - has avoided trial by saying he's mentally unfit. Mercedes upset Riley's not reacted well to it – and goes on the hunt for Lynsey, Mercedes and Doug to talk about how angry it's made him. Lynsey tells him to calm down about it – that being angry won't help. Mercedes says the same but she's not okay at all, and keeps on having horrible dreams about the time Silas kidnapped her and threatened to kill her and her unborn baby. That would kind of stick with you.
And Doug…well, Doug's not thinking about Silas at all. He's holed himself up in his room for weeks and refuses to talk to people or interact like a normal human being. Ste's struggling at the deli on his own – he can't cook and serve and talk and look good all at the same time, and god knows how he's handling all the money side of the business.
Riley talks to Doug about Silas, and how upsetting it is that the truth will always be hidden if he doesn't stand trial. Doug realises that it's his turn to tell the truth, and after Leanne nags him, he confesses that he thinks he's gay and he doesn't know what to do about it.
Meanwhile, the Savages come back from a family holiday to discover their campervan's gone. They can't call the police about it because it was full of Dodger's dodgy knock-off goods. Myra's dumped all of this stuff behind the Dog and tips the Savages off about it. They find it and start to look for somewhere to live. While they think of ways to make money, Dennis is delighted to have them move in to his place.
Some other families aren't so close-knit, though. Just as she's about to go into an exam, Maddie sees her dad getting off with Carmel – yep, the married man Carmel was dating is the college queen bee's dad! Though Maddie pretends to Tilly that nothing's wrong, she can't manage her exam at all…and of course, Carmel is heartbroken.

[landscape and square photos should be of the Savages, main photo should be of Mercedes]
Mercedes pretends not to be shaken about Silas not standing for trial, but it's clearly changed her behaviour. She dolls her self up – slowly, because her hands are shaking with fear, and arranges a hotel date with Dr Browning – the doctor who once charmed her into becoming a prostitute.
Texas is upset about it, too. That's not the only thing bumming her out. She doesn't want the Savages to live with her – Dennis said they could move in because they had nowhere else to go – and she's worried about Doug. Leanne, who's excited about Doug being gay – blabs to Texas about it. Texas tells Doug she understands that people can fall for other people, regardless of their gender – just look at her and Jodie!
Doug's still frightened, though, and when Texas and Leanne try to take him out to a gay bar, he bolts out of a car, and when he bumps into Ste, he runs away from him. He's been ignoring his cute co-worker for weeks. Cheryl goes to cheer up Ste – she can tell he's heartbroken - and invites him out to a roller disco. He refuses though. When are these boys going to sort it out?!
Texas has enough of the Savages very soon into their stay, so she chucks them out. Left with nowhere else, they move into the student halls with Will. Annalise is not happy at all – with Rob away she'd set up a perfect nest for her and Scott to hang out in. That's all ruined with Dirk and Dodger about, though.
That's not the only problem with accommodation in the student halls – Barney's rent hasn't been paid and he desperately needs some money from somewhere. He nags Ste for a job, and because he's struggling without Doug there, he obliges.
Ed takes Carmel a mahoosive bunch of flowers, but she's not interested in his apologies and tells him to go and make it up with Maddie. He then re-gifts his daughter the flowers and hands over some money. She doesn't accept the bouquet but is more than happy with the money. She spends it on pizzas with Ruby and Tilly, half letting Esther join in. Maddie doesn't understand why Tilly's being so nice to Esther after she 'made up' the rumour about Tilly and Jen. Carmel apologises to Maddie about dating her dad, Maddie pretends not to know about the affair and won't admit it to Esther, even though she overheard the conversation.
Congratulations are in order for Britain's Got Talent runners-up Jonathon and Charlotte.
The opera singing teens have gone and got themselves a nice little record deal with the big man himself – Simon Cowell.
Jonathon Antonine, 17, and Charlotte Jaconelli, 16 have been signed to Syco Music and are set to release their first album on 3 September.
The pair, who lost out to dancing pooch Pudsey and his owner Ashleigh on BGT, took the judges and the world by storm when they belted out The Prayer at their first audition.
At first Simon told Jonathon to ditch Charlotte, which he refused to do, but Simon soon admitted he was wrong.
"This show is designed to give people like Jonathan and Charlotte an opportunity. I think their debut album is going to be stunning," Simon said.
What Jonathon and Charlotte have to say about it all
Jonathon admits he can't quite believe it's all happening.
"Appearing on the show has been a huge confidence boost and I'm still pinching myself that we are actually making our album. Thank you to everyone for making this happen for us," he said
Charlotte added: "This is a dream come true for us. Never for a second did we think auditioning for Britain's Got Talent would lead to a recording contract. We are so grateful to Simon and all our fans for helping us to get to this position."
And by the looks of YouTube, there are A LOT of fans: their performances on the show racked up an impressive 22 million YouTube views globally.
You may have seen pictures of Anne Hathaway sporting a scary looking skinhead lately. And you've probably come across photos of Hugh Jackman looking less dashing; more dishevelled recently.
Well this is why.
Anne and Hugh are both starring in the movie adaptation of Les Miserables. Most famous for being a West End smash hit, Les Miserables - which translates as The Miserable - was originally a French novel, which focuses on the day-to-day struggles of a number of hard done by characters including ex-convict Jean Valjean, played by Hugh.
Les Miserables is due for release 11 January 2013.
We're going to explain exactly what happened in last night's Revenge. Only read this if you've seen the first episode, as it is spoiler-tastic!
We start off at a very expensive, very posh engagement party. A pretty lady called Emily Thorne (Emily VanCamp) is getting married to a pretty boy called Daniel (Josh Bowman). Only problem is, Daniel's on the beach and he's just been shot dead. Just as we're getting our head around things, the action flashes back to five months beforehand, the beginning of summer.
Emily moves into a big house in the Hamptons – she used to live in it with her dad – David Clarke - when she was younger – she also used to be called Amanda Clarke. Her landlords are about to divorce- Lydia's husband has left her for a woman half her age. Lydia's still in town though, and doesn't she tells best friend, matriarch Victoria Grayson that she doesn't want her husband to sell the house.Victoria's Daniel's mum - and Emily/Amanda's future mother-in-law. Keeping up?
Emily has photos of Lydia and Conrad (that's Victoria's husband) kissing (we don't know how she got them - TV magic?) and follows them to the South Fork Inn, where they're meeting for a lunchtime bunk-up. He has a stomach problem and is rushed to hospital - strangely, Emily bumps into them as Conrad's being carted away by paramedics.
Victoria rushes to see Conrad (Henry Czerny) at hospital but her worries disappear when she realises that he was having an affair. She tells him to never do it again. Later, at Victoria's charity fundraising boat party – Emily's been invited by best friend, Croydonite Ashley (Ashley Madekwe) – Emily mentions seeing Lydia at the South Fork Inn, and Victoria realises her best friend has been sleeping with her husband!
Victoria maintains her icy-cool composure, and takes the stage to start the charity art auction. In fine style, she announces that she's returning a priceless Van Gogh painting to Lydia as a "constant reminder of the friendship we shared" and says that not only is Lydia's house for sale, but she is leaving the Hamptons for good. She then has her escorted from the boat. What a humiliating send-off!
At the end, we discover that Lydia was Emily's dad's secretary and testified against him when he was taken to court (he was accused of murder). That's why Emily sneaked some poison into Conrad's lobster bisque (we told you this lot were posh) at the South Fork Inn so that he'd have to go to hospital. She was the one who made sure Victoria knew that Lydia and Conrad had been sleeping together!
Other stuff that happened
- Because his dad's bar is in debt, fittie Jack (Nick Wechsler) sells his boat to billionaire Nolan Ross (Gabriel Mann), meaning he won't go to Haiti. Meaning we get to see more of him!
- Jack's dog, Sandy, recognised Emily. In the flashbacks we discovered that Sandy used to be Emily's dog when she was called Amanda.
- Jack's boat is called 'Amanda'! His brother is called Declan (Connor Paolo), and fancies Daniel's sister Charlotte (Christa B. Allen)
- Conrad and Victoria fight and they talk about destroying a man – this is Emily's dad, we think. Especially seeing as Victoria was with the police who arrested David
- Nolan got Emily/Amanda out of prison (when she dressed like Kristen Stewart) and told her that her dad wasn't a murderer.
- Emily's dad, who is now dead, left her a 49% stake in Nolan's company, that's how she can afford to rent such a massive house!
- Suspicious of her new neighbour, Victoria sets a private investigator on Emily.
- Some amazing one-liners: "Mom, you're too young and too pretty to be this senile" and "I might as well move back to Croydon"
What we want to know
- The person who carried Daniel's body looks a lot like Jack. But is he the one who fired the shots?
- During the engagement party, Emily wipes some sand off of her hand. Where did it come from?
- Where did Emily find the photos of Lydia and Conrad kissing?
- Why was Emily in prison? Why did she have such a bad wig?
ALSO - the song Emily listens to when she's putting her feet in the sand is Hold On by Angus and Julia Stone. Nice, isn't it?
Long update this week - there's a lot to take in, though!
You can watch Revenge every Monday on E4 at 9pm. To catch up with old episodes, go to Channel4.com/4od
Just yesterday, we were getting all shocked and confused about Justin Bieber getting his rage on with a photographer in Los Angeles. Today, we're all back to normal - and even did a little squeal on behalf of all teen girls around the world when we heard the brand new track Die In Your Arms from Biebs' forthcoming album.
Now, this song was actually a bit of a favourite of ours when we hung out with Justin last month at his album party. We think it's got the whole "Baby, Baby Baby… oh!" thing going on – listen to it a few times and you'll get what we mean. And we're very glad the pint-sized one has put it out there for public consumption.
And we're not the only ones liking the song. The Bieb's manager Scooter Braun bigged up the track massively – saying he thought of it as having an old-school Michael Jackson sound.
He noted, "…and when I say old school mj… I'm talking Jackson 5 feel"
The 18-year-old singer's new album, Believe, is due out on 18 June and will contain some high-profile collaborations with Drake, Taylor Swift, Nicki Minaj and Ludacris – and Justin himself even told us that he's written some seriously emotional lyrics in there, including one song which is all about the woman who accused him of fathering her child - Mariah Yeater.
Sounds like this might be an album well-worth listening to for a whole host of reasons. And we have to wonder what else Biebs has up his sleeve. But in the meantime, have a listen to Die In Your Arms below and let us know your thoughts…
As if a McFly wedding and a McFly engagement weren't enough excitement for us - now we've been given some amazing news about these fabulous fellas… That's right Tom Fletcher, Danny Jones. Harry Judd and Dougie Poynter will be playing a very special one-off summer show as a part of The Olympic celebrations. Could 2012 get any better? (The answer to this is 'no' by the way.)
The McFly boys will play a set at an event called London Live, which will be held at London's Hyde Park on Saturday 4 August – and while they're banging out some tunes like Star Girl and It's All About You in the sunshine (well, we're hoping there'll be sunshine), there'll also be some super huge screens dotted around the place so sports fans won't miss out on the days' Olympic events. How brilliant.
The boys, who are mostly off holidaying and honeymooning around various parts of the globe at the moment, will also be joined by a rather jam-packed line up who have already been announced, including The Voice coach Tom Jones, Cast, Amy McDonald and Dodgy (remember them?).
But the best part of all of this is that it's completely free to see Dougie and co' hit the stage – which in our eyes in just a big double-whammy of greatness. In fact, you could just show up in your flip flops (we're sending positive weather vibes out) on the day and you'll still get to see them… which is, frankly, great. We'll obviously be there doing some serious screaming, so please do look out for us!
Head here to find out and more about the event and secure tickets in advance.
First there was Geri Halliwell, then there was Leona Lewis, then came the luscious Rita Ora – and we've just heard that Nicole Scherzinger has become the latest lady to be confirmed as a guest judging spot on The X Factor.
"I'm super excited to be back in London for The X Factor," a very excited Nicole announced. "Last time I was here we found One Direction and I can't wait to find more unique and interesting talent here in the UK."
Scherzy (as we like to call her) is obviously no stranger to this judging lark – not only did she controversially take over Cheryl Cole's panel position on the US version of the show, but she also did some guest-judging for the British edition two years ago.
It's thought that the full-time judges Gary Barlow, Tulisa Contostavlos and Louis Walsh are looking for someone they can really gel with to take on the role for the live shows – and sadly for Geri, she doesn't seemed to have gone down as well as she'd hoped. As we told you this morning though, newbie on the block Rita Ora seems to be impressing her fellow judges and audiences alike, although it's not clear yet whether her lack of experience will count against her.
There were also some surprise visitors to the London-based auditions today. Boybanders JLS decided to drop in to scope out some of the talent. But apparently the lads looked a teeny bit fidgety when another boyband sang one of their songs… ooh, we can't wait to see how that went when it's on telly.
Back to Scherzy though – and the pretty ex-Pussycat Doll will be taking her chair on the panel tomorrow at the 02 Arena London. And frankly, we're expecting some great results because as the lady herself says… last time she was here, they managed to find One Direction. We'll be expecting equal excellence!
One Direction have devised yet another genius way to send their legions of teenage admirers into a fan frenzy… A global DVD viewing party.
Sadly, this doesn't involve the boys travelling to the homes of each and every 1D fan on the planet and sitting in their living room while watching their new Up All Night – The Live Tour DVD. Instead the band will interact with their fans via Twitter.
At 5.30 on Thursday (31 May) the boys will watch the DVD and tweet along, revealing all sort of gossip and insider info from the show filmed in Bournemouth. They'll encourage fans to get involved and will be rewarding their favourtie tweeters with follows and re-tweets.
If you want to join in but don't have a copy of the DVD yet, don't worry. You can WIN one off of us – but you've only got until Friday to do it.
Will you join in with 1D's DVD party?
At least the boys will be safe if they're chatting to their fans on Twitter. Boys were recently set upon by a group of – shall we say over enthusiastic – fans as they left their hotel in New York.
Girls grabbed at the 1D boys' hair and clothes before they were bundled into a car by their security guards.
It's the end of an era - but at least the Westlife boys are going out in style.
When they announced in October last year that they were splitting after 14 years together, the whole world - especially Louis Walsh - shed a tear. Now who's going to provide first dance songs at weddings up and down the country?
But the boys did promise to give us one last tour to say a fond farewell and gives us the closure we all deserve.
The last date on Westlife's Farewell Tour - 23 June, Dublin's Croke Park - will be broadcast live to 200 cinemas across Britain and Europe so we can all mourn together.
"It is bound to be a hugely emotional night and we expect to have tears in our eyes for nearly every song," the group said in a statement.
"The fact that the show will be beamed to our fans in cinemas around the world only adds to our excitement."
Thank you and goodbye Westlife - it's been emotional.
Beyonce Knowles made a triumphant live performance comeback this weekend – rocking the stage at brand new multi-million venue in Atlantic City.
It was Bey's first performance since giving birth to her gorgeous daughter Blue Ivy four months ago, and for a new mum who's probably not getting much sleep at the moment she put in an amaingly lively and energetic performance.
Beyonce played three shows at the new Revel Resort as part of Memorial Day celebrations, and the concerts marked Bey's first live performances since August last year.
The Halo singer paid tribute to Whitney Houston during the show, and also sang hits from all four of her solo albums, as well as some Destiny's Child classics, and a cover of Lauren Hill's Ex-Factor.
Proud husband Jay-Z was in the audience and he tweeted, "BEYONCE is the best performer in the world. Period."
We'd say he's just being biased… but let's face it, he's not wrong. Just look at Bey go!
Also is the audience were the First Family – minus Barack Obama. Michelle Obama treated her two daughters Sasha and Malia to a night of fun watching Beyonce's comeback!
Sadly, last night was the last in the series of The Only Way Is Essex. But at least they went out with a Jubilee-themed bang.
The gang donned their finest red, white and blue attire – with Nanny Pat wearing a nice little Pearly Queen get up – and jumped on a bus to a pretty fancy Jubilee garden party. But as usual, this night promised to be filled with drama.
Here's what happened:
Lydia's still going steady with Tom
Lydia Bright tells her buddies Lucy Mecklenburgh and new girl Danielle that her and new beau Tom Kilbey aren't boyfriend and girlfriend… yet, but her mum and family really like him.
During the girlie chat, Lucy breaks down in tears when she starts talking about boyfriend Mario Falcone and Diags' rivalry. It's all got a lot more serious between the boys since Mario posted offensive pictures of Diags on Twitter and he retaliated by slamming Mario for having a girlfriend who cheated on him.
Oh dear.
Later on, at the Jubilee party, Diags confronts Mario about everything that's been going on. As you can imagine, they don't really sort things out and they mostly just tell each other to f*** off. A lot.
Joey and Sam are definitely back together
All's well that ends well, eh?
Joey Essex and Sam Faiers had a bit of a relationship meltdown last week, but it looks like the pair are very much back together.
Joey even tells his cousin Chloe Sims he wants to marry her. One step at a time Joey…
Turns out Sam's asked Joey to write her a love letter – but what does it say?
At the Jubilee party, Joey takes Sam to one side and presents her with his love note. To say it's adorable would be an understatement.
Arg is back on Lydia's doorstep
Arg is once again hanging around Lydia's doorstep, asking her mum Debbie to talk to him. She reluctantly lets him in and puts the kettle on.
Debbie tells Arg he's turned into some kind of monster by calling Lydia all those horrible names and he's clearly upset to hear this. A tearful Arg tells Debbie how hard it's been for him since Mark Wright left Essex to work on his Hollywood tan, and how losing Lydia at the same time has really upset him.
He also starts going on about how much he loves Debbie and how much he misses her – maybe these guys should get together… or is that just too weird?
During this heart-to-heart, Arg also admits to 'sleeping with a few girls behind Lydia's back' when they were together – something Lydia's always suspected.
Arg gives Debbie a thousand kisses and a rather intrusive hug and heads on his not-so-merry way.
Gemma and Arg hit it off
It looks like it's been on the cards before, but now Gemma Collins hints that she'd like to get a lot closer to Arg. As she's talking about him to the girls, she can't help but giggle like a lovesick teen.
At the Jubilee party Arg admits to Joey and Diags that while he was at boot camp in Marbella, Gemma gave him some under-the-covers action. After this admission, Arg goes on to say there is chemistry between him and Gemma, but he's just not sure if he really fancies her.
As he goes to leave the party later on, Gemma chases after him to see where he thinks he's going.
Gemma wants to know what's going on between them because it's obvious – to her at least – that there's bucket loads of chemistry between them.
Arg starts tripping over his words and saying how he's 'very fond of her' and how he loves their friendship and other not-so-promising phrases.
But Gemma doesn't hold back and tells Arg she loves him.
Hang on a minute – what happened to Rami?
In one of the most awkward moments in the history of TOWIE – and there have been a few remember – Arg throws caution to the wind and tells Gemma to just kiss him. He and Gemma do some serious smooching and then giggle for about twenty minutes.
So will Arg and Gemma still be together when TOWIE returns to our screens – we'll just have to wait and see…
A few weeks ago, we showed you the schmaltzy US trailer for awesome new TV series Revenge. And we're totally excited because the UK version of the trailer is even better – it's a bit shorter, a bit slicker, and loads edgier, and shows you a bit more of what the actual show is like. Oh, and it's got that fantastic soulful dubstep track Too Close by Alex Clare on it.
Set in posh town-by-the-sea The Hamptons, Revenge is a soapy drama following socialite Emily Thorne (Emily VanCamp) as she sets out to destroy all of the powerful moneyed types who wrongly framed her dad for a crime he didn't commit. Along the way she meets the beautiful Daniel Grayson (Josh Bowman) and...well..yeah, we're not going to spoil it for you!
The re-telling of the Count of Monte Cristo is basically Desperate Housewives but younger, darker and prettier and without all the slapstick schtick – it's on E4 starting tonight (Monday 28 May ) at 9pm. We'll be livetweeting it @heatworld, too!
These scallywags have gone and made a really hilarious music video again. This one is particularly glossy and pretty – not just because of half-naked fittie Ashley Horne – but because it's a trailer for their upcoming E4 show.
The Midnight Beast have their very own surreal musical comedy series – and it will be on telly later on this summer.
This latest track, Quirky is all about people who go the extra mile to seem as weird and kooky as possible by doing things like drinking peppermint tea and wearing silly hats. We're looking at you, Zooey Deschanel.
One thing though, you've got to BEWARE, this video is full of great big naughty swearwords. If you're watching this in the type of place where you don't want people to see swearwords all over your computer screen, best be discreet about it!
Now that you haven't been given the sack, what do you think of the track?

We've been holding out for an S Club 7 reunion for as long as we can remember, but for now it looks as though we've got former band member Tina Barrett's new solo effort to keep us going.
That's right, Tina's new single Fire is being released this summer and we've got the video here for you lovely Heatworld citizens to feast your eyes upon. The video has a 1920's theme which shows Tina starring as a lounge singer seducing the crowd with her fiery performance.
Tina is naturally very excited about the release of her first ever solo single, the singer tweeted,
'Hey guys as u all know I'm droppin a single so 2 every1 tweeting me when? It's going 2 be end of August because of all the amazing support from you guys i'm now putting together a proper plan!'
We don't remember Tina's vocals featuring heavily on many of the S Club tracks, so we're intruiged to hear how her voice sounds...we just hope this doesn't mean that one of our favourite 90's bands won't be reforming after all *sad face*
As always we want to know what you lot think of the single, get your comments in.
The speed with which boyband One Direction made it big over in America must have broken some kind of world record. The cheeky chaps went straight to number one in the US, riding the wave of Bieber fever and raising their profile throughout the world.
However, one band who don't seem too pleased with the boys enormous success accross the pond is rock group Kasabian, in fact, lead singer Tom Meighan is a little miffed, branding the boys 'five little d**ks', charming. In a recent interview Tom blasts,
"It's frustrating when you see five little d**ks like that take over America. It's horrific but you've just got to get on with it...They're a boyband, for God's sake, and there will always be room for boybands. They're kids. Let them eat the candy."
Tom spoke about the bands numerous attempts to try and crack America, and admits that they've still got to get out their and keep trying. He continued,
"We went to America and it was a harsh f**king tour we did. We did nearly eight weeks out there and it was f**king gruelling. It was the hardest we've ever been pushed. We did well, we won the war on terror on that one. We've got to keep going back and back."
Cracking America has always been a touchy subject for UK groups, as most seem to falter at the first hurdle. What do you Heatworld citizens think of Tom's rant?
We love The Voice, so it's pretty exciting that two number one artists are going to appear on the final of the show. The Voice USA judge Adam Levine's band Maroon 5 and Suffolk's very own Ed Sheeran are to perform for the BBC show.
Presenter Reggie Yates confirmed the news on the show's official website: ""Wowzers. Oh my days. Oh my wowzers. Just a few words to express how I feel about what I'm about to tell you. Shall I shut up and tell you? Yep, fair enough."
Get on with it, Reg! "So it's with great pleasure and big plate of wowzers (sorry, need to stop saying wowzers) that I reveal the performers for next Saturday's live final are *drumroll*... ED SHEERAN AND MAROON 5!! Like I said: wowzers (sorry). Hold tight for song info. Exciting. Okay bye, Reggie x p.s: Wowzers"
WOWZERS! Are you excited to see the two perform? We're guessing Ed's going to do something quite acoustic-y and we're hoping Adam Levine takes his top off. Fingers crossed, eh?
In other The Voice-related news, Tyler James and Bo Bruce have said that the competition is so therapeutic they can compare it to rehab!
Sounds a bit much, but Tyler told The Sun: "It is the best therapy I have ever had in my life. When we came into this competition I was a mess. "I had just lost Amy, I was a really nervous, shy person and I have come out of myself"
When he stopped talking about Amy Winehouse, he added: "I have seen people come out of themselves. It's like being in rehab. You see people start to grow from what they were."
Bo added: "It is one big love-in. It is the best therapy you could ever get."
Bart gives Brendan £600 and strangely, he accepts it. Meanwhile, Nancy's freaking out about her pregnancy. Darren comforts her and they agree to keep the baby secret until after the scan and not get too excited about it.
Callum fell asleep on the sofa waiting up for Martha to get home after her interview - Lacey heard her come home drunk last night. She wasn't alone, though. She was with her new boss - who she slept with to get the job. Callum tells her she's no better than a prostitute and Martha slaps him.
Lacey's been let down, too. Her dad isn't taking her to Iran. Callum says he'll stick around for her, and upsets his teacher by saying he won't be going to America anymore. As he burns his map of the States, he's devastated, but knows that he can't afford the tuition fees and that he can't leave his family like this.
Myra's back at home and argues with Jacqui, who insists she shouldn't have taken the rap for Bart's cannabis plants. Bart goes to see Sinead but she's cross that he seems to have no regrets. Diane's furious, too, and marches them over to the McQueens and has a go at Myra for lying to the police. Jacqui agrees, and admits that it was her who grassed Bart up but her plan for him to take responsibility for his actions has gone wrong - pretty much, yeah!
Getting away from all the mental McQueen goings-on, Carmel goes off on her date with Ed. It's perfect - he's rich and charming and Carmel already thinks she's in love. They kiss and plan to meet again. But as she walks away from his fancy car, he puts his wedding ring back on. What a sleaze!
