BREAKING NEWS: Actress Zoe Saldana has just got married...and has remained Zoe Saldana. Yes, that's right- her husband took her  surname, rather than the traditional alternative. The feminists of the world are rejoicing. It marks an almost rebellious stand, a change in society and how women value themselves. It shows freedom from men and independence. Women all over the world are celebrating, with hopes that this will encourage more men to do what women have had to do for- well, for as long as anyone can remember.

Last night (Monday 1st June), we were introduced to Caitlyn Jenner. The latest cover star for Vanity Fair Magazine, Caitlyn set herself up with a new Twitter and Instagram account, and with the support of her Kardashian/Jenner family, as well as several other publications, we were shown a range of photos showing off her new body- which is stunning, may I add- her luscious locks, and the strong woman she is destined to be for the rest of her life. Obviously, this transformation has caused quite a stir. Having been married to Kardashian matriarch Kris Jenner for 23 years and having two beautiful daughters with her, this transition from masculine athlete to glamorous cover star has been a shock to the system, and has stirred up a mix of reactions from both the family and from the public. After the big reveal, I myself had a multitude of things I wanted to say regarding the whole situation. I took to twitter, ready to speak my mind- and then stopped.
