It's too hot for TV, but not for us

Bar Refaeli—the beautiful Israeli supermodel, ex-Leo DiCaprio squeeze and former Maxim covergirl— is causing a furor in her native Israel after her eye-popping bikini ad for Hoodies was deemed too hot for TV.

It features the gorgeous model soaking up some rays and cruising in a speedboat, all while looking absolutely amazing in a tiny two-piece. What's even more incredible is that Refaeli was reportedly 3 months pregnant when she shot the bikini commercial. You never cease to amaze us, Bar.

New Top Gear host Chris Evans has joined co-presenter Matt LeBlanc in dismissing reports of a rift between the duo, saying that he has learnt a lot from working with the former Friends star.

The show returns to screens this Sunday and speaking at the launch event at Dunsfold Aerodrome in Surrey, Evans described LeBlanc as his "wing man". He said he found the American actor's dedication to making the show work remarkable.

"He's worked on one of the biggest shows of all time and to make a show like Friendsyour work ethic has to be supreme," said the broadcast veteran.

"The overriding thing that hit me first was how much he's prepared to work to make the job a good job. He never looks at his watch or says 'Can we go?'."


Chris Evans - Relieved show is about to air

Earlier this week, LeBlanc described rumours of a personality clash between himself and Evans as "a big load of bulls***".

LeBlanc was unable to attend the press launch due to filming commitments on his BBC comedy series Episodes, but he sent a video message, in which he expressed his pride about what he, Evans and the rest of the team had achieved.

"It's great that the show continues to prompt so much global interest, even before we have shown the first episode," said LeBlanc. "I've had an amazing and crazy few months since joining Top Gear. We've accomplished a lot and I'm extremely proud of it."

With the new series premiering on BBC Two on Sunday at 8pm and RTÉ2 half an hour later, Evans said he is relieved that the wait is almost over. 

"It's the cork off the bottle, because all the pressure has been building up," he said. "So I just want the first show to get out there, get it on the air and then get on to show number two. We are already making it and we finish it tomorrow."

Dubliner Eddie Jordan, who is a former motorsport team boss, motor racing driver Sabine Schmitz and YouTube car reviewer Rory Reid are also set to star alongside Evans and LeBlanc as part of the new Top Gear line-up. The new series will air in 83 countries over six continents in a 72-hour period.

A special occasion with a Royal Touch / Giant iTab


 

A special occasion with a Royal Touch

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry were at the Olympic Park on Monday (16 May) for the official launch of their new mental health initiative, the Heads Together campaign. The royal trio are hoping to break down the stigma surrounding mental health with their new campaign, and help people feel more comfortable discussing mental wellbeing, as well as providing the tools they need to support friends and family.

Giant iTab are proud to support the 'Heads Together' campaign. We were delighted to be invited by the charity Best Beginnings to provide one of our Giant Smartphones to showcase their multi award-winning Baby Buddy app that supports families on their emotional and physical transition to parenthood. Best Beginnings has already supported more than 2 million families across the UK and with more funds they can enable more families to give their children the best start.

"A huge thank you to the whole team at Giant iTab for their pro-bono support at the Heads Together launch event on Monday. Their awesome Giant Smartphone brought Best Beginnings' stand and our award-winning Baby Buddy app to life. The giant phone is absolutely brilliant - it's just so inviting. As I had hoped, their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge spent time exploring our Baby Buddy app on their Giant Smartphone and its many interactive features. It was really visual and so much fun that we aquired great news coverage too!"

Get naked. (Picture: Instagram/naked.in.nature)

Everyone can appreciate the restorative power of getting outside, forgetting work and phone screens for a few hours, and getting back to nature.

Care to take it up a notch?

Let’s be real. The best way to truly, deeply embrace nature is by getting back to our body’s natural state, too.

Yep, we’re talking getting naked. Naked in nature.

That’s exactly what Instagram account Naked in Nature celebrates. They ask any of their followers who are up for getting nude to submit their photos of going full-on natural, sharing stunning images of naked bodies in front of incredible natural sights.

Because there’s nothing quite like feeling the cold mountain air on your naked bum.

 

Or standing at the edge, exposed to the elements.

 

Is there anything as refreshing as a skinny dip?

 

Or a skinny, erm, hike?

 

We know it’s a bit out there.

 

But we truly think naked travel might be the way forward.

 

It’s one way to avoid excess baggage fees.

 

And it’s the best way to feel entirely free.

 

To escape from your daily life.

 

And get back to the wonders of nature.

 

We’re honestly considering dropping our clothes for our next sightseeing trip.

 

We probably won’t take pictures though.

 

As inspiring as these ones may be.

 

Definitely beats our holiday wardrobe.

So go on, get naked and get out in nature. It’s one way to achieve true calm and freedom

Machine v Humans in Adidas bid to clean up the oceans ... by Fiona Wyatt

Adidas are cleaning up the oceans with a new sneaker design but at what cost? If the factories become automated what happens to the people currently doing those jobs? Is this the beginning of a Machine v Humans debate in the footwear industry?

Fiona Wyatt writes ... What I love about being a blogger, is the luxury to explore a story and see how it unfolds. I have been slack on researching and writing so I missed the Futurecraft series of video’s from Adidas (alright adverts). My research has shown me that Adidas are pushing the footwear production line by creating four new manufacturing methods: Parley for the Oceans X Ultraboost: Futurecraft 3D: Futurecraft Leather: Futurecraft Tailored Fibre.
