Mariah Carey's Live TV Wardrobe Malfunction

Wardrobe malfunctions had been out of the news for a while. I never liked the phrase. It sounded more like it was the briefest précis of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe ever.

But they're back, as Mariah Carey had a wardrobe malfunction live on TV. She was on Good Morning America when the back of her dress broke. Good Morning America, indeed. Mariah said, "My dress just popped!" And the hosts didn't go to help her.

Well, if I heard someone say that I'd assume it was just an excuse to cover a fart. If there's no dog to blame you have to pick something.

Mariah then said: "It seems like a YouTube moment, possibly a Spotify moment!"

Does she not know what Spotify is? Or is she so musical she needs the right background music before she lops a pap out?

She managed to hold onto the front of the dress, so no one saw anything too breasty. That's a shame. With the number of times she's bothered the charts in recent years that could've been the biggest release she's had in ages.

Men KOd By Toilet Fumes

Another headline that caught my eye tells of "Men Overcome by 'Dangerous' Toilet Fumes". Let's be honest, we've all had that. And I don't just mean from something you ate. Forget to flush after you've put bleach down, go for gold and you can make chlorine gas. That's either real science or something I dreamed once. Either way, it's a worry.

The two men were taken to hospital and their building evacuated. Wow. Talk about, "I'd give it a minute if I were you." I've cleared a room before, but never a building.

The men, believed to be in their 60s, suffered breathing difficulties after sulphuric acid had been mixed with toilet clearer in the bowl, creating a dangerous gas.

Forget the gas, why were they pouring H2SO4 down the lav? How bad were the skids that a di-basic acid was needed? So many questions in this story, none of which I want answered.

It ends OK though. The East of England Ambulance Service said the men were treated and stabilised before being taken to Southend Hospital. And hopefully prescribed some fibre.

Phones or Sex?

According to a new survey 94% of Brits would rather live without sex than their mobile phone.

Hmm, an interesting dilemma. Well, I pay monthly for it so I wouldn't want to be without it... so I'd keep the sex.

Kidding! I don't pay monthly for sex. That's more of a pay as you go deal.

I guess it makes sense. I'd be better at going without sex than my phone because I have put the practice in. Since Motorola brought out their brick I've always had a phone. During the same time I haven't always had sex. In many ways using a mobile is better than sex. Although you'll get tutted at if you do either in a train's quiet carriage.

Also in the survey 9% admitted they preferred their mobile phones to their children. If you would've stuck to your phones instead of having sex in the first place you wouldn't be having these regrets now.

Thankfully this is all theoretical. You don't actually have to pick between your phone and having sex. In fact, put it on vibrate and you're well on your way to having both at once. You can always try "sexting". I did that the other day. It's great. It's the only way I can get those PPI people to leave me alone.

Love On The Underground

To Prague, where there are plans to run an underground train for people to try and find someone to pull. It's a special "love train". Or if you're the kind of perv who enjoys rubbing your crotch into the person in front of you during rush hour, it's just like every other train.

The plan is to have a special section on some trains where single commuters will go and potentially find a partner while travelling. You'll be able to tell which carriage it is as there will be a sign, and it'll just be full of fat businessmen.

I hope the rules are enforced. If you get on there with a wedding ring you should get tutted at like someone using a mobile phone in the quiet carriage.

Some people don't like the idea. One male passenger said: "When I'm in a rush, I enter the first open door I see. I should watch out now and make sure no one starts seducing me." Don't worry, take it from me, you get used to it.

Still, it's nice to know you can meet someone and get off a few minutes later.

Venezuela Caught Short.. of Loo Roll

Venezuela is running out of toilet roll. It's causing a national panic. Now is not a good time to be a Labrador puppy over there, you could be shot on sight.

People over there have been panic buying loo roll. It's tricky, because you don't want to panic too much, or you'll have an accident and use up all your supply.

The paper shortage is an embarrassing episode for new president Nicolas Maduro, who was chosen as Hugo Chavez’s successor before the iconic leader’s death in March. He has to be careful how he plays this. Take a lead from Marie Antoinette and don't say, "Let them use a bidet."

One person caught up in this told a journalist, "I’ve been looking for it for two weeks. I was told that they had some here and now I’m in line."

It just makes you realise how lucky we are. Even the people suffering in the Eurozone countries don't have that problem. In fact, as the Euro fails and the notes are worth the paper they're printed on, if anything they have more paper to wipe their arses with.

The government has promised to import 50 million rolls in the next few weeks and has blamed the shortage on anti-Maduro forces attempting to destabilise the country.

Yes. If I wanted to bring down a nation I'd do it by cutting off their bog roll supply. You know what they say, "society is two meals away from anarchy". I think it's probably two poos away from it too.

Man Dies of Wasp Love

A man in Sweden has died after having sex with a hornet's nest.

Did it have HIV? Wow, shocker!

No, a 35-year-old man was discovered with 146 stings on his body, of which 54 were on his genitals.

I can't help thinking one of his mates will be at the funeral sobbing, "Why didn't he listen!? I didn't say, 'Get yourself a horNET...'"

He was left so bloated by the fatal incident, neighbours mistook him for a whale carcass when they saw his inflamed body lying on a lawn.

So the moral of the story is, don't try to have sex with hornets. And if you need to be told that I should also say don't try to nail your face to a post, lick the electrified rail on The London Underground, or try to quit breathing for Lent. I'm here to help.

When Steve Chatted To Tom From McFly

I was lucky enough to get to chat to Tom Fletcher, aka Tom from McFly. He's very tech-savvy, and by that I mean he's a bit of a social media expert. I'm a massive social media obsessive, so we ended up talking about that. Have a listen.

Princess Kate Has Best Pregnant Hair - FACT

My favourite headline of the day, from the Express...

"The Duchess of Cambridge claims top spot in favourite pregnant celebrity hairstyle poll"

Wow. Who knew they did a poll of people's favourite hairstyles of pregnant celebrities? That gets to the bottom of the issues that everyone's talking about.

I tried to make my own list of favourite pregnant celebrity hairstyles after reading this. I was a list of only one person because I couldn't think of more. And the only reason there was one on the list was because I'd just read about Kate Middleton.

It's Fabriah.com that surveyed 350 women about who had the best hair while pregnant. I've read the rest of the survey and it includes people like Halle Berry and Frankie Sandford from The Saturdays.

Sadly it let me down. I was hoping that somewhere in the results would be a celebrity with nice hair but who isn't actually pregnant, they've just got fat lately. Shame.

Would You Rather? Justin Bieber?

Nearly a third of people would rather do housework or go to a Justin Bieber concert that do physical exercise, according to what I can only assume was a badly worded survey.

Do these people realise it's not and either or? If Bieber has managed to convince people he's the only alternative to the gym no wonder he's the biggest celeb in the world. He's be as popular as obesity, and that's doing very well these days.

Maybe that's why he didn't get too many complaints when he was two hours late to start his shows. People were thinking, "Well, this is annoying but it's two hours where I haven't have to try and work out while no-necked guys make me feel bad."

The same survey asked people who often they exercised. 32% said once a month. That's an awful lot of going to see Justin. Seeing him once a month.

But let's not forget there was another option. Doing housework. I could just do a bit of housework and save myself from the gym and JB? Brill. And it explains why teenagers have such messy rooms. That's science.
