Okay so on paper this reads as a low-budget British vampire-comedy set in a prison starring WWE Superstar Stu Bennett, The Dapper Laughs Guy and the legend that is Steven Berkoff… However only some… of this is true???
A short while ago I was asked to give Fanged Up a cheeky watch with the intentions of giving a short one paragraph critique for some reason or other. I was more than happy to oblige however I couldn’t wait for the movie to drop so I could really sink my teeth – get it – nto this movie and give you my honest review. Mostly because a lot of people checking out the film in the DVD section...

Brooke Shields hopes that George and Amal Clooney keep their children away from the public eye for a while.
"They've got enough of being self-absorbed with selfies," Shields tells Et's Jennifer Peros of today's kids. "I mean, it's enough already. You sort of don't want to add Hollywood to it."
Read: Brooke Shields Throws Shade at Ex-Husband Andre Agassi Over His Memoir
Last week, The Talk's Julie Chen broke the news that Amal, 39, was pregnant with twins.
"Now, what we did find out that no one else is reporting is that the twins are due this June," Chen said. "The two have been married for just about two and a half years."
Shields, 51, knows what it's like to grow up in the spotlight. At 15, she was the face of Calvin Klein, and in 1980, she made a big splash on the big screen in The Blue Lagoon. She also has plenty of parenting experience, as she is...

Big Brother's decision to bring back six ex-housemates for yesterday's task had a big impact on the finalists.
Danielle McMahon, Zoe Birkett, Winston Showan, Steven Goode, Biannca Lake and Mark Byron all returned yesterday (August 13) to give the final six some tips on how to deal with the outside world.
However, Ash Harrison found the reunion difficult and later cried in the Diary Room as he admitted that he's missed having Winston and Steven in the house.
"I can't wait to see them again," he said. "It's not like I'm sad, it's just overwhelming... I just wanted to keep hugging them."
Meanwhile, Mark's return had a big impact on Christopher Hall as Pav Paul told him: "You really like him don't you... I don't think you realise how much you talk about him."
"I must do," Christopher replied. "I'll get over it."

Big Brother housemate Ash Harrison has confirmed that he doesn't "fancy" his fellow contestant Helen Wood - describing her as a "knob".
The model made his comments during yesterday's task, which saw ex-housemates returning to give the finalists some advice about returning to the outside world.
During the media training session, Ash was asked if he fancied Helen and joked: "No... she's a knob! She's my best mate in the house and she's alright to look at, but she's a knobhead."
Returning housemate Zoe Birkett pointed out that his comments could result in a negative headline - which this very article proves.
Elsewhere, Helen apologised to Zoe for her behaviour after she was asked if there was anyone that she planned to say sorry to upon leaving the house.
However, she added: "Everyone else I genuinely probably didn't like and don't deserve an apology... Everyone else can get stuffed."

Earlier this week, Helen and Chris Wright moved into a secret room where they could listen to their fellow housemates, but Helen was unhappy with what she overheard yesterday (August 12).
During a conversation with Christopher Hall, Ashleigh described Helen as "f**king nasty" - mentioning the moment earlier this series when Helen called Jale Karaturp a slug - and added that she has no respect for her.
Meanwhile, Christopher admitted that he is annoyed by Helen's "power" and suggested that Ashleigh was the only person who didn't obey her.

Six ex-housemates are returning to the Big Brother house today (August 13) - to help the finalists prepare for their return to the outside world.
Ahead of the final on Friday (August 15), remaining housemates Ash Harrison, Ashleigh Coyle, Chris Wright, Christopher Hall, Helen Wood and Pav Paul must try to learn important skills to win a party for themselves and their ex-housemates.

Big Brother housemates Ashleigh Coyle and Pav Paul have become famous for today's task.
The duo were told earlier that they have been transformed into celebrities and will be treated like stars, beginning with new clothes for them both.
Ashleigh and Pav were also told to make outrageous demands of Ash Harrison and Christopher Hall, who have become their entourage.
So far, this largely seems to have consisted of making Ashleigh cups of tea while she waits for a tweet from P Diddy.
However, the duo will also face the darker side of celebrity as they will come up against the paparazzi.
Throughout the day, Big Brother will read headlines to the house, such as "X was spotted having a cat fight in the garden with the housemate they have the least in common with".
Ashleigh and Pav must pose in the location from the headline with the housemate that they think matches the description.

Big Brother housemates Helen Wood and Chris Wright were shockingly evicted last night - but they only got as far as a secret room.
The group was aghast when they were gathered on the sofa yesterday (August 11), and even more surprised when Emma Willis began speaking to them over the tannoy.
She announced that Helen was the 13th housemate to be evicted, leaving the Mancunian visibly upset.
Despite the fact that Helen was told to leave the house through the Diary Room, the housemates did not seem to realise that the eviction was fake and were all surprised by the dramatic turn of events - with Ashleigh Coyle offering to sort out Helen's suitcase for her as Christopher Hall repeated: "This can't be right."

Big Brother housemate Ashleigh Coyle was struggling with homesickness yesterday (August 10).
As the group come into the final week, both Christopher Hall and Chris Wright noted that the 18-year-old's homesickness has "stepped up a notch".
"There's nothing we can say anymore," Christopher mused, while Chris joked: "When I'm feeling s**tty, she's in a good mood, and when she's feeling s**tty, I'm in a good mood."
Ashleigh later opened up to Chris about her excitement about going home, saying: "I can't wait to get back to normality... To have my normal way of thinking again."
Chris agreed that none of his friends ever talk about themselves, as Ashleigh joked: "One more week of listening to the same s**t about themselves!"
However, Ashleigh's homesickness did not go unnoticed by the other housemates, as Helen Wood described her as "very boring" for an 18-year-old and added: "She's a very grumpy girl.

Big Brother's Ashleigh Coyle has expressed her gratitude for being put in the house.
With the series ending on Friday (August 15), Ashleigh became teary and told Christopher Hall that he and Chris Wright have been a "massive, massive part" of her experience.
"I wouldn't ask for it any other way," she said. "[I would never have been] as grateful to this experience and the people who put me in this house [without] the fact that I made you as friends."
Ashleigh then discussed Helen Wood, Ash Harrison and Pav Paul, saying that despite the divide, she would be delighted for them if one of the trio is crowned the winner.
"I still feel if there are three people who do misunderstand me, it's personally because I don't want anything bad to happen to them three," she explained.
"Because I know I don't have a chance in hell of winning the show, I want it to be you or Chris.

Big Brother's Helen Wood has been found guilty of causing the divide between the housemates.
The verdict was delivered by Judge Judi James yesterday (August 10), after both Helen and Ashleigh Coyle gave their arguments to the court.
Helen's lawyer Pav Paul told Ashleigh: "You started your journey as a very loveable, bubbly character and was perceived as the young innocent lady of the house. However, this doesn't seem to be the case.
"Your tendency to pounce in arguments only when you're backed up by your friends shows you're malicious, which consequently leaves a divide in the house every time."
Ashleigh's lawyer Christopher Hall countered: "Ashleigh has strove to make any amends with any housemates that she has had difficulty with.
"She has displayed determination to overcome problems and has put effort into building relationships with all housemates, in spite of the many nasty comments which have been directed at her.

The divide between housemates in the Big Brother house continues to grow.
In tonight's show (August 10), housemates discussed the impact of Winston Showan and Mark Byron leaving the house, with Ash Harrison suggesting that if "two others could have gone it [would] not be as bad", before adding: "No offence, Pav."
Ashleigh Coyle told Big Brother that she was "dead excited" to be in the final, and analysed the different groups in the house. She suggested that Pav has joined Ash and Helen's group and described the situation as being like "watching the new kid desperately trying to get in with the popular kids".
Ashleigh went on to say: "[Pav is] actually a really nice guy and easy to talk to… It cringes me out when I see him desperately want to be their friend."

Housemates have been reacting to last night's (August 8) eviction, when Mark Byron and Winston Showan left the Big Brother house.
In tonight's show, we saw the housemates look on as Mark left the house to a chorus of boos. As Winston's name was called out as the next evictee, they were shocked and surprised, with Helen Wood's first reaction being: "Is this a joke?"
She then noticed that because housemates were all laughing out of shock when Winston left, they didn't get to say goodbye properly. All the housemates decided that it was a fake eviction and that he was in a different room as the next Power Housemate.
Big Brother called Ash Harrison to the Diary Room to confirm that Winston was actually evicted, and neither him or Mark would be returning to the house. Helen comforted Ash by saying: "You'll see him in a week."

Winston Showan has become the twelfth housemate to leave the Big Brother 2014 house.
The gym-addict bachelor was evicted shortly following Mark Byron after receiving the second-highest number of public votes.
The remaining housemates were shocked at the public's decision, and remained convinced that the Essex boy's exit was a ruse.
"Yeah, I'm a little bit shocked," Winston told host Emma Willis in his post-eviction interview.
"I'd have loved to have made the final, but that's just the way it is. If people want me out, I'd rather be out.
"I've made it 65 days," he added, "and when I first went in I thought I'd be out week four."
When asked why he felt the public wanted to send him home, Winston was at a loss.
"We broke out yesterday... but I don't think that's something people would have disliked," he shrugged.

Big Brother housemates ended up in a major row yesterday (August 6) over trust issues after losing the 'Power of Money' task.
The latest task saw everyone individually entering the Diary Room and asked if they wanted to share or steal £15,500. Mark Byron, Chris Wright and Ash Harrison all chose to steal the cash for themselves.
In an all-or-nothing twist, Ashleigh Coyle was challenged by Big Brother to name the trio, with the promise of £25,000 being added to the prize fund if she was successful. She could only identify two of the three, incorrectly naming Pav Paul instead of Mark, which resulted in the house failing the task and winning no extra money.
Afterwards, Chris, Ash and Mark gave their reasons for choosing not to split the money, despite an agreement made beforehand between the housemates to share.
"I didn't think everyone would f**king split it," said Mark. "I know I would.

The second day saw housemates add an additional £5,000.
Although Mark Byron missed the opportunity to win £1,500, failing to demonstrate his psychic abilities with a meerkat, everyone later worked together to successfully decipher a code and unlock a vault, bringing the cash total to £15,500.
The final part of the task involved each housemate individually entering the Diary Room and asked if they wanted to share or steal the money.

Later, Helen overheard Ashleigh tell Chris in the kitchen: "You just got very passionate about Helen over the past 45 minutes."

However, Ashleigh told Pav that she found it difficult to nominate him, while Ash agreed, adding he was "desperate" not to put Pav up for eviction.
Helen then expressed her belief that none of the new housemates should win the £100,000 prize because "other people deserve it more".
Pav later told Big Brother: "It's not my fault I came in halfway through. It's not my fault that I didn't start when they did, and that's quite difficult to come to terms with."

The Big Brother housemates have passed their wildlife task.
In order to successfully complete the challenge, housemates had to replicate whatever behaviour was described by a wildlife commentator.
Actions performed by the housemates included Pav Paul eating the contents of the fridge and wiping yoghurt on his face, Mark Byron and Christopher Hall taking part in a 'mating ritual' and Winston Showan performing a toilet dance and a sex dance.
Chris Wright and Ashleigh Coyle took part in a number of actions, with Chris grooming Ashleigh by licking her ears. The pair then splashed each other at the 'watering hole' and rolled around the sofas to mark their territory.
Winston and Ash Harrison then competed against Mark and Christopher in a tribal dance, before the latter pair also retreated to the 'watering hole'.
The housemates were informed that they had passed the task, prompting them to dance in the garden in celebration.

Big Brother housemates Christopher Hall and Ashleigh Coyle fell out yesterday (July 30).
The duo were discussing this week's website shopping task when Christopher wondered: "What on earth else can they do to us?"
However, his comment rubbed Ashleigh up the wrong way as she suggested plenty could still happen to her, as she had not been "degraded" as much as some of the other housemates.
When Christopher asked what was wrong with her, Ashleigh replied that she was "f**king tired" and warned that she would "f**king hit the roof" if Christopher continued to make similar comments.
Christopher eventually told Ashleigh to stop being "ridiculous" and chose to leave, telling her to stop being "so immature".
Discussing the argument, Chris Wright suggested that Ashleigh needed to calm down, while Mark Byron admitted that he wanted to intervene but had been told to stop doing that by Christopher.

Housemates will embrace everything to do with the internet in this week's shopping task.
Big Brother has created its own version of the world wide web for the task and will be relying on the public to help decide the fate of the shopping budget.
A giant laptop will be placed in the house, and when housemates are needed they will enter a task room that's decorated like different websites. It will then look like the housemates are 'inside' the internet.
For housemates to pass the overall task, they need to gain enough hits over the two days.
In the first task, housemates will be given costumes and props before recording a 20-second video, with the aim of it going viral.
The public hold the power in this task as for housemates to receive the maximum amount of hits they are required to meet a certain amount of 'likes'.

This week, Pav Paul, Zoe Birkett and Chris Wright all face being evicted during Friday's (August 1) show. But who voted for them?
In tonight's show, we see housemates make their nominations in the Diary Room, and there are a couple of odd reasons thrown into the mix.
First up was Ashleigh Coyle, who's immune from nominations herself. She voted for both Pav and Zoe to face the chop.
Also taking this decision were Christopher Hall and Winston Showan, who both nominated the two newbies.
Mark Byron also voted for Pav, but picked Chris as his second nomination.
Zoe decided on Chris as well for her first ever nomination session in the house, followed by Christopher. Her reason for nominating Christopher involved the fact that he never seems to wears shoes.
Ash Harrison used the same unusual reason to justify nominating Christopher, and gave Pav as his second vote.

Steven Goode has become the ninth housemate to be evicted from the Big Brother house.
Ashleigh, Pav, Steven and Zoe were all up for eviction following the formation of the Power Alliance - and the following twist - but the 23-year-old from Bushey received the most public votes.
"I knew it guys," Steven told the remaining housemates as his name was read out.
"I'm going to go to the top of them stairs and rock it, don't you worry," he added, before laughing at the audience chants of "two-second Steven".
"It feels really good [to be out]," he told Emma Willis. "I did sort of anticipate going... But I would have liked to have been in on first day and out on the last."
When asked about the nominations process, Steven admitted that he took this week's votes especially personally.
"I don't think you can not take it personally," he said of Ashleigh...

The housemates took it in turns to get each other's hearts racing in the latest round of this week's shopping task.
The Red and Blue teams were given the challenge of individually staying calm while members from the opposing team tried to raise their heart rate.
As part of the Losers task, the one-on-one game was rigged in favour of the Red Team, but the housemates were left completely unaware.
First in the hot seat was Ashleigh Coyle of the Red Team, who faced Chris Wright, representing the Blue Team in the "scare" part of the task.
Chris attempted to frighten a blindfolded Ashleigh by getting progressively closer and closer to her face while her pulse was monitored.
The Red Team's Ash Harrison then tried to scare Steven Goode by screaming loudly. Steven's heart rate was shown to have increased more, meaning Ashleigh won the battle.

Big Brother will set a 'losers' task this week.
Housemates will be divided into Red and Blue teams, then pitted against each other in a series of head-to-head challenges.
The winning team will win prizes after every game, and then a luxury shopping budget at the end of the task.
However, the Blue Team will be unaware that the games are actually all pre-determined and the Red Team will win every time.
The real task will be for the Red Team to irritate and convince the Blue Team that they are incapable of winning, and reduce the Red Team's confidence.
The Red Team will be told that they will automatically win every game, but in fact, the deciding head-to-head game will not be predetermined, and will be fair.
If the Red Team win, due to the Blue Team believing they are incapable of winning and accepting defeat, then the...
