Mariah continues her reign of weirdness

Following her tardiness for This Morning, and bizarre butterfly confetti stunt on the X Factor, it turns out that Mariah Carey has been causing trouble on the GMTV sofa. Well, that’s once she managed to get onto the sofa, and reportedly had two people to lower her onto it. According to GMTV presenter Kate Garraway, Mariah also had her entourage on hand to make sure that she was being filmed from her best angle, as well making sure that she had her own toilet roll on hand. Most bizarrely is that Mariah has someone to walk backwards at all times in front of her in case she falls over. Mariah’s people have hit back saying that Kate Garraway’s claims are a ‘clear, gross exaggeration.’ Is she a diva? Is there ever smoke without fire? [Daily Mail]

Get a body like Twilight’s Ashley Greene

There’s no denying that Twilight star and onscreen vampire Ashley Greene has a body to die for (we’re hilarious, we know). Ashley spilled the beans on her fabulous figure; part of her secret is to work a 12 hour day, and then only eat healthy food. But to keep looking svelte, Ashley did four hours of training everyday as well as fight training. She also does pilates most mornings and some cardio. Ok, so perhaps getting Ashley’s figure isn’t quite as easy to work into our daily regime, but a few pilates classes here and there would be a good start. [InStyle]

Show 40% of flesh to attract a man

We’ve all had that “is it too low cut? Is it too short?” or “is it frumpy? Do I look like someone’s mum?” debate when picking an outfit to go out in. But scientists have now found that the key to attracting a man and not looking like a frump or overtly sexy, lies in percentages. Psychologist Dr Colin Hendrie of Leeds University studied nightclubbers, they looked at how many times women were approached by men and what they were wearing. They found that women showing 40% flesh attracted the most men, more than 40% was deemed to indicate future infidelity. Those showing only 30% were approached by fewer men. Not so surprisingly the most attractive 40%s were wearing very tight clothes. If you’re wondering how you get to 40%, then each arm is 10%, each leg is 15% and the torso is 50%. Good luck with the maths girls! [Daily Mail]
