‘Accidents happen': Fans in hysterics over Cotton On jeans
A pair of jeans from Cotton On are going viral because of a questionable design detail that's been described as 'fart fashion' and compared to a bathroom mishap. It all began after TikTok user Adele shared a now-viral video, which has amassed 1.6 million views, showing herself browsing the denim section at a Cotton On store. The clip zooms in on a pair of blue jeans featuring brown stains across the front and back. Adele wrote over the clip, 'What was Cotton On thinking?' Her caption said, 'Someone had an accident', which quickly set the tone for thousands of comments. Jeans become butt of the joke One user joked that Cotton On was now selling pants that have been 'pre-sh*t' in, so you 'no longer need to sh*t them yourself'. Another person said they looked like 'quite the mess', one thought they were 'ew', and someone else declared 'they're so ugly'. Even Cotton On staff weighed in, with one admitting, 'as an employee … we also hate these jeans'. 'So you're telling me I could have accidentally slipped in mud, put my jeans on that pile, and get money for it?' another user asked, as a different person replied: 'Yes, because we absolutely want to look like we just had explosive diarrhoea in our jeans'. 'Run, don't walk … to the toilet,' another quipped. High fashion as inspo Crudeness aside, the jeans appear to be a budget-friendly 'dupe' of a high-end pair from cult label Acne Studios. The original, the Distressed Organic Mid-Rise Wide-Leg Jeans, retail for a staggering $1470 and is described by luxury retailer Net-a-Porter as 'intentional distressing … creating jeans that look as though they've been worn and loved for years'. Meanwhile, Cotton On's version, the Low Rise Straight Jean, is priced at $69.99, which is a fraction of the designer price tag. Fashion expert weighs in Fashion stylist Donny Galella told that it's not unusual for brands like Cotton On to offer affordable versions of premium designs. 'We are living in dupe culture world,' he said. 'Acne is definitely one of the world's hottest brands but given the cost of living crisis, many people don't have a spare $1400 laying around for a dirty looking pair of jeans. Especially for a 'trend' style pair of jeans that will have a short shelf life'. Mr Galella's advice is to 'invest that money into a more classic style pair of jeans that will be much more versatile and have a much longer shelf life'.

Iconic singer Billy Joel speaks candidly about attempting to take his own life
Billy Joel has spoken about past struggles with his mental health, revealing he attempted suicide twice in his early twenties. The legendary music star revealed in the new documentary Billy Joel: And So It Goes that he ended up in a coma after he tried to take his own life following an affair with a friend's wife. The affair began while Joel was living with his then bandmate Jon Small, Jon's wife Elizabeth Weber, and their child. Joel revealed that he eventually realised that he was in love with Weber, despite her being married to his bandmate. 'I was in love,' he said. The fallout was immediate and painful. 'I felt very, very guilty about it. They had a child. I felt like a homewrecker. I was just in love with a woman and I got punched in the nose which I deserved. Jon was very upset. I was very upset.' The confrontation ended their band, Attila, and destroyed the men's friendship. Weber left, and Joel's mental health deteriorated rapidly. 'I had no place to live. I was sleeping in laundromats and I was depressed I think to the point of almost being psychotic,' he said. 'So I figured, 'That's it. I don't want to live anymore.'' Joel attempted suicide twice and his sister, Judy Molinari, tearfully recalled seeing him in hospital. 'He was in a coma for days and days and days,' she said, 'I went to go see him in the hospital, and he was laying there white as a sheet.' Joel later checked himself into a psychiatric observation ward. The experience, he said, reshaped his life. 'I got out … and I thought to myself, you can utilise all those emotions to channel that stuff into music.' It comes after Joel announced that he has been diagnosed . The disorder happens when cerebrospinal fluid builds up inside a person's skull and presses on the brain, disrupting their cognitive functions. The symptoms tend to be similar to those suffered by dementia patients and include difficulty walking, cognitive issues like memory difficulties or emotional changes, and urinary issues. Joel announced the news on social media last month, cancelling all his upcoming tour dates as a result.
