I started things off poorly despite getting the green 'Y'. Too many words still ended with 'Y' to make a solid guess. I tried all new letters with GLOAM but none turned up yellow or green. NERDY seemed like a good guess, and it was. Only one word remained: NERVY for the win!

The word "nervy" comes from "nerve" + the adjective-forming suffix "-y." It first appeared in the late 1800s in American English, originally meaning "showing courage or boldness." Over time, it also came to mean "overly bold" or "agitated and anxious," depending on context.

New Bonnie Blue documentary includes footage from her controversial sex stunt
It was the tabloid story of 2024 when OnlyFans creator Bonnie Blue declared that she'd slept with over 1,000 people in 12 hours. Her stunt instigated a conversation around whether 26-year-old Blue, whose real name is Tia Billinger, was carving a new path for feminism or destroying the one that had been laid out for her. 1000 Men and Me: The Bonnie Blue Story airs on Channel 4 on Tuesday 29 July at 10pm and will explore the life of Blue around the time of the stunt and in the months following. It also features behind the scenes footage from the infamous event. Press material says: 'This resulting documentary goes behind the headlines, clickbait and ragebait to discover what life's really like in Bonnie's wild orbit, how she got here and what's really going on behind those steely blue eyes. 'The film sensitively explores the central question polarising debate about her: Is she a 'dangerous predator', pandering to male fantasies and perpetuating the patriarchy? Or an empowered, sex positive, businesswoman having the last laugh?' Read more: Director Victoria Silver added: 'Bonnie Blue refuses to conform to public opinion and lives life by her own rules. At a time when factual TV is awash with retrospective stories, I wanted to capture the energy of a live and evolving story, with a woman at the heart of it who's living her life in such a bold way.' Channel 4's Commissioning Editor Tim Hancock said the documentary includes 'incredible access' to a story 'at the edges of modern morality' that will leave the audience 'questioning their own presumptions' about one of the UK's most polarising people. In June of this year, Blue announced she would be running a 'petting zoo' event with the aim of allowing 2,000 men to have sex with her. She hoped to be tied up in a glass box for the stunt, which reportedly had her banned from OnlyFans on the grounds of it violating their policy against 'extreme challenges.'

'Makeup meal prep' hack goes viral on TikTok: 'I'm influenced'
Her beauty hack is no longer under wraps. UK-based makeup influencer Sam Begum is dividing the Internet with her head-scratching yet speedy makeup routine: a full face of cosmetics applied to a piece of plastic wrap at night, then slapped on her face in the morning. Videos of her technique have racked up nearly 10 million views on TikTok in recent weeks. Advertisement Sam Begum's TikTok videos showing the puzzling technique have wracked up nearly 10 million views in recent weeks. sxmiabegum/ TikTok Begum, 23, starts by sticking a clean piece of plastic to her naked face, then applies foundation, concealer, blush and bronzer onto the film, then sets it aside. The next morning, she finishes the routine by reversing the plastic and placing the side with the cosmetics on her face. Advertisement The warpaint initially appears blotchy and out of whack, until Begum uses a puffy makeup brush to blend it in and applies setting powder over the top. A lip gloss pulls it all together — all while Begum walks out of her apartment building. @sxmiabegum anything for an extra 20 mins in bed🫶🏽 @Lancôme foundation @Saie blush @Diorbeauty stick contour @Huda Beauty lip oil ♬ original sound – Mell ❤︎︎ 'Girl mathing 20 more minutes in bed,' reads the caption of one of her videos showing the technique, which has amassed over seven million views since it was posted June 30.

Some TikTokers are inspired by the glam game-changer. Some TikTokers felt inspired by the glam game-changer, while it 'pissed off' others. sxmiabegum/ TikTok 'Meal prepping makeup,' one person mused in the comments.

Begum did not respond to requests for comment.

Hundreds in Birmingham for Ozzy Osbourne memorial as rock pilgrims hail 'number one'
Hundreds of Ozzy Osbourne fans gathered in Birmingham city centre this afternoon, July 26, to remember the Birmingham superstar and music legend. Heavy metal fans and shocked members of the public have filed into the city to visit murals and memorials since news of the Black Sabbath frontman's death broke on Tuesday night. BirminghamLive spent Saturday afternoon in Victoria Square with gutted fans who travelled from across the country, some for more than three hours, to remember the Prince of Darkness. READ MORE: Oasis' moving Ozzy Osborne tribute plays out at London Wembley Stadium show READ MORE: 'We were kicked out of college for listening to Ozzy Osbourne rehearse next door' Ozzy died on Tuesday, July 22 at 76, just weeks after his final show at Villa Park Stadium - sparking an outpouring of grief among Birmingham's communities and all over the world. Look through our photo story below from the memorial. READ MORE: Crowds gather for Ozzy Osbourne memorial in Birmingham city centre But Brummies will always claim Ozzy as their own, he's part of the city culture and forged a career that gave the world so much more than just heavy metal. Rock pilgrims were out in force on Saturday, communing with flowers, drinks and memories as old friends met and new connections were made. The sun shone as many hugged each other and chants of "Ozzy Ozzy Ozzy Oy Oy Oy" could be heard above the crowds. Joining the many young and old fans clutching a bunch of flowers, Leigh Gittus, from Cannock, said: "It felt important to come, I can't explain why it feels like we've lost a member of the family; even though we've never met him. "It's more the influence they've had on the bands we listened to growing up." Gaz Morgan, who plays in a band called The Dead List with Leigh, added: "It felt like a weight, everyone was in tears. I got the phone call and felt cold, I don't want to get like this over celebrities but this is just different." Gaz, an Aston Villa season ticket holder said their whole group went to the Back to the Beginning show and "cried all the way through." A group of three friends, Joe, Zak and Elisa told us: 'We're gutted its up and down, the last time we were here was for the gig, enjoying the music and now weeks later we're here for the memorial we just can't believe it.' Mike Coyle, from Manchester, said he had worn a Black Sabbath t-shirt every day since hearing the news. "He gave us an identity," said Mike. Friend Johna Curtis added: "The first time I saw Ozzy live was in 1998 when I was 16, I've been a fan ever since, Ozzy created all of this, I just came here to pay respects." You can watch the full interview with Johna and Mike in the video at the top of this article. Also out in solidarity and remembrance were father and son Marc and John James, from Acocks Green. "We've come to pay our respects and lay flowers he was the master of heavy metal, we've just gone and signed the book of condolences. They should build a statue of him" said John. Marc added: 'I was shocked. He always will be number one.' Travelling from Bristol was Fanni Meszaros and husband Ivan Troncoso. Fanni said: "I love Ozzy, it is so emotional that many people came, we live in Bristol but it is an important day. It was heart-breaking I never expected to cry from someone's death like this but I did." Kings Norton brothers Oli and Greg Blackburn spoke of how Ozzy was a "pillar of Birmingham's culture." 'He's a constant and the fact he's gone makes it difficult he transcended metal, it's hitting us. Greg was the catalyst for me' said Oli, 27. Greg, 30, added: 'He was such a very dedicated and passionate man, it was special to witness the Prince of Darkness there for us.' The pair saw Black Sabbath perform in 2013 in Birmingham, as Oli recalled: 'My fondest memory of that gig in 2013 was Ozzy shouting I can't f*****g hear you down the mic, it was wonderful.'
