If you think you've seen it all before, it's because you probably have! The TV and movie costumes that have been repeatedly recycled over the years

Think you’ve seen that costume before? Odds are, you have. The sartorial sleuths over at Recycled Movie Costumes have dug through decades of television shows, movies, promotions, and miniseries to see where a costume has popped up – again, and again, and again. The result is a fascinating look into the reprised roles played by these dresses, coats, and other costumes. Who, what, wear: This Elizabethan collar, called a whisk, was made for the 2005 production The Virgin Queen Queen bee: However, Beyonce added some R&B flair to the whisk in a television commercial for O2 Priority in 2013 Strike a pose: Glenn Close wore this gown in 1998's 'Dangerous Liaisons,' left, and Madonna wore it four years later to perform on the MTV Music Awards to perform 'Vogue' In 2006, worn in 'Marie Antoinette' From the 1999 mini-series 'Aristocrats' From a 2012 episode of 'Horrible Histories' Josie grossie: This fanciful ballgo

Kill or cure? Scientists reveal that toxins like lead and mercury were the 'miraculous' ingredients that were REALLY used in the snake oil remedies of the early 1900s

Snake oil has become synonymous with frauds and schemes, and now professors are looking into what the questionable concoctions were sold in the early 1900s. The Smithsonian published an article trying to break down the scary combinations of damaging- and sometimes even toxic- chemicals in the hopes of shilling it out to the unsuspecting. A chemist from the University of Detroit Mercy looked at the patents of a number of the questionable salves and discovered the presence of mercury and arsenic in some of the so-called 'snake oil' potions doled out in the late 1800s and 1900s. The closest remnant of a shred of truth to the effectiveness of snake oil dates back to the theory that Chinese laborers would use an oil derived from the Chinese Water Snake to help soothe their aching joints. From there, the chain of truth becomes a slithery thing to hold on to. Many would-be chemists- few of whom had any real medical or scientific training- made their own concoctions and touted their r

ustin Bieber shows off dodgy new haircut after allegedly turning up THREE HOURS late for concert

ustin Bieber shows off dodgy new haircut after allegedly turning up THREE HOURS late for concert We're not sure what he's thinking with this new buzzcut but at least the Jedward inspired quiff is gone forever (hopefully) When you strip away the context, this is just a teenager pointing at a camera Twitter Forget about the sweary outbursts, monkey smuggling and other controversial moments – this is the biggest sign yet that he's having a late-teens crisis. The puny popstar appears to have styled his new hairstyle on the amazing and slightly controversial website dedicated to lesbians who look like Justin Bieber. But credit where it’s due, Justin’s hair does look incredibly soft which must be the job of a set of straighteners or some relentless blow drying. Biebs, 19, is currently travelling the world for his Believe tour and it certainly hasn’t been without scandal or drama. You might remember the fury when he arrived so late for his London show that young fans had

Russell Brand tells the Kardashian sisters he's "vulnerable to concept of KKK threesome"

Russell Brand tells the Kardashian sisters he's "vulnerable to concept of KKK threesome" The womaniser was being interviewed by the equally rude Kim, Khloe and Kourtney when the topic of conversation quickly turned to sex He's a cheeky chap, isn't he? REX He’s poetic and whimsical with a fascination for sex - so we aren’t surprised Russell Brand immediately turned his chat with the Kardashian sisters into utter filth. Russell was a guest on the Kardashian takeover of the Chelsea Lately show – which is basically a more naked version of Graham Norton. And obviously feeling a little flushed by Khloe, Kim and Kourtney hosting the interview, the comedian was showing off and turned things sexual. He joked: “I’m vulnerable to the concept of a KKK threesome.” Khloe immediately turned to look at her pregnant sister Kim before exclaiming: “Well, I heard pregnant p***y is the best p***y.” We would have found her comments a bit shocking if it wasn’t for THAT jaw-dr

The former Pussycat Doll shows off her incredible body, and it's making us want to sign up for one of those military boot camps IMMEDIATELY It's funny, this is exactly what we look like in our gym kit too We're trying not to not jinx the fact that the sun has finally decided to show up, and we fully expect there to be yet another snowstorm later this week. But if we looked half as hot as former Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts we'd burn all our clothes and prance around in a bra and pants all day. Yep, we'd prance alright. Ashley, who is the new face of Garnier Ambre Solaire No Streak Bronzer campaign (remember? We told you that last week. Do try to keep up) posed her perfect little ass off in the shoot which appears in the new issue of Look magazine. The 31-year-old I'm A Celeb...contestant seems to be in some manner of disused warehouse. L

Simon Cowell: "I don't care if people say I'm gay - but I'm not, anyway"

Simon Cowell: "I don't care if people say I'm gay - but I'm not, anyway" The X Factor supremo says he doesn't care and it would make “no difference” to his life or career When you're this rich, who cares about rumours? Wireimage Simon Cowell has declared he is not gay – but claims he isn’t bothered a bit if people think he is. The music mogul, who has never married despite dating a string of beauties, insists he is not worried by rumours about his sexuality. He said: “I couldn’t care less because it’s nothing to be ashamed of. If I was living 200 years ago in a coal mine, maybe, but I work in possibly the gayest industry in the world.” The X Factor boss, who starred in a hilarious spoof wedding with comedian David Walliams for Comic Relief, claimed it would make “no difference” to his life or career. He added: “A lot of my friends are gay, but I’m not and don’t even think that way any more. It feels like such an antiquated question.”
