Some popular things get better with age, while others are best left in 2021. So, here’s our list of ten trends we’d like to say goodbye to. 10. Jackets with shoulder pads Many blazers and coats have started coming with large shoulder pads and surely no one looks better in these than without? Now, I […]

Lil Nas X and his unapologetic commitment to who he is has been so important to the music industry.  Nas has challenged the framing of the hip-hop genre and the music business itself, performing proudly as a gay male in the industry. And he has not shied away from stirring up controversy and a legendary […]

Back in December 2017, Star Wars: The Last Jedi had just hit cinemas. As someone who had fallen victim to unwarned spoilers on the internet before, I hatched a simple plan. I deleted my social media apps temporarily. Facebook, Instagram, all of them. What happened, however, was more than I could have ever anticipated. Gone was […]

A petition created by Katie Price put forward the idea of requiring verified ID to open a social media account, after her family suffered “the worst kind of abuse towards [her] disabled son” Harvey. Over 600,000 people supported the petition, whose proposal gathered further approval after the abhorrent racial abuse suffered by footballers following the […]

This week marks a year since the tragic death of TV presenter Caroline Flack. Flack, 40, died at her flat in London on the 15th of February 2020, just weeks before she was due to go on trial for allegedly assaulting her boyfriend. She had taken her own life after learning that the hearing would […]

Twitter is a place for the people who don’t really fit the Insta gang or the Facebook mothers, so they pile in on the blue bird and share 280 characters of thoughts on literally anything. It’s a place for fangirls, it’s a place for politicos and it’s a place for diaries. And memes. So who […]

When it comes to election time, tensions run high. They run high within households, cities, workplaces – and even the highest of companies. A couple of weeks ago, demands were made to have Facebook ban all political ads. And just this week, Google has announced they will ban them. This news comes after the EU […]

‘No good turn goes unpunished’ is an expression that might be quite close to home for US rapper Kanye West at the moment after he was falsely accused of providing sub-par catering at an event he performed at on the 1st of November. Kanye and his Sunday Service team performed at a fundraising event called […]

This week’s What Annoyed the Internet is yet another example of good TV shows/movies being ruined because of cast members acting like clowns. Jane the Virgin is one of the most wholesome, unproblematic shows to ever have been created. Centred around a Latina family, JTV shone a refreshing light on LGBTQ+ relationships, strong women, bilingual […]

Michael Owen and Alan Shearer are two of the greatest forwards of their days, with the latter being the Premier League’s all-time top goal-scorer, finding the back of the net 260 times over the course of his career. Of those 260, one hundred and forty-eight came for his home club, Newcastle United. It’s clear that […]

Love Island finished earlier this week and has left us with nothing to do when it hits 9pm these days. Though it seems that horrid Twitter and Instagram trolls have found a way of busying themselves – by harassing star Molly-Mae Hague who placed second in last Monday’s final. Molly-Mae, who was coupled up with […]

Despite having lived in the UK for my entire life, I always seem to be discovering strange new things about this island. One of the weirdest facts I’ve learned is that Scouse men apparently don’t use wallets. Instead, they just have loose coins and cards rattling around in their pockets. I found this out on […]

How do I even begin to choose between the many Internet-annoying events of last week? It feels like longer than just a few days ago, but in the space of seven days, we had a record-breaking heatwave, Jacob Rees-Mogg’s ridiculous list of banned words and a new Prime Minister. Of course, Twitter had a lot […]

This week, a ‘businesswoman’ annoyed the Internet after a dumpster fire thread in which she claimed poor people “have no class at all” because someone didn’t return her Tupperware once. Below, Melissa Jeanine details her interactions with ‘broke people’ and they all seem to centre around her baking something that no one wanted or asked […]

There was yet another squabble about Ariana Grande’s sexuality on the Internet this week. The reemergence of this ancient debate came after the release of Victoria Monet’s new song MONOPOLY. The song, in which the world of dating and romance is compared to the board game Monopoly, features Ariana Grande singing about liking ‘men and […]

PETA must be one of the most frustrating animal rights organisations to exist. On the surface, its intentions are honourable; it wants to end all forms of cruelty towards animals including cosmetic testing, the meat and dairy industry and habitat destruction. For the most part, everyone can acknowledge that animals suffer unnecessarily because of humans […]

After watching Abducted in Plain Sight, it seems that a normal review will not reflect how this one-part documentary has affected all those who’ve seen it. In an attempt to do it justice, we have reviewed not only the film itself but people’s response to this truly unforgettable story. Bizarre, disturbing and downright sick Just […]

Since One Direction announced their hiatus way back in 2015, things on the 1D side of life have been (in comparison to the warfare years of 2010-15) pretty quiet. Yeah, we’ve had solo music and tours, but we’ve not had the sheer wig-stealing drama we used to. So, here at b**p, we thought we’d head […]

Happy International Women’s day (at the time of writing) to all the women of the site! This day is remarkable in many ways, not least of which is that it’s one of the few where I’m willing to use an exclamation point. This is a day of marking the incalculable female contribution to the world. […]
