One user received more than 30,000 likes on their comment, 'We need to look at ourselves in the mirror.' Another user said, 'Imagine being down bad enough to buy this,' their comment received 11,828 likes. 'Everyday we stray further from god,' a third person chimed in. Sweeney said her followers started demanding samples of her bathwater after she first partnered with Dr Squatch to promote their body wash. In the commercial she appeared in a bubble bath, now she's selling her suds. 'When your fans start asking for your bathwater, you can either ignore it, or turn it into a bar of Dr. Squatch soap,' Sweeney said in a press release. The soap bar features exfoliating sand and pine bark extract, combined with a splash of the actress' bathwater. According to the brand's statement, the scent 'channels two of the best places on Earth: the great outdoors and Sydney Sweeney's bathtub'. Sweeney, who recently became single, added: 'It's weird in the best way. 'Hopefully, this helps guys wake up to the realities of conventional personal care products and pushes them towards natural.'

Curries can aid weight loss
Curry Credit: BANG - Entertainment News BANG - Entertainment News Bang Showbiz Eating curry can help people lose weight. Scientists have found that those who eat spicy foods stay slimmer because they tend to gorge on less food than individuals who eat milder dishes. The heat from the Indian delicacy causes an "oral burn" that makes people slow down their eating habits and reduce their portion sizes - according to an analysis of 130 foodies who enjoyed meals of varying temperatures. Dr. Paige Cunningham, a food scientist at Penn State University in the US, said: "Increasing spiciness slowed people down. "We know from other research slowing down eating typically reduces how much people eat. "For a single meal, increasing spiciness reduces energy intake. If this cut in energy intake is maintained over time this might help individuals reduce energy intake, which could help with weight maintenance and weight loss."

New findings - conducted by researchers from Hunan Normal University in China - show that men with psychopathic traits are more appealing to the opposite sex. In the study, the researchers showed photos of men with varying degrees of Dark Triad traits - narcissism, machiavellianism and psychopathy - to over 500 women, who were asked to rate the men in terms of attractiveness and trustworthiness. The results revealed that the images of the men with high Dark Triad traits were seen as both more trustworthy and more attractive by females. Study author Dr. Qi Wu said: "In short-term cooperative settings, individuals with high Dark Triad traits tend to inspire more trust." "[This is] partly due to being seen as more attractive based on their facial features."

Techno and dance music may cause bad drivers
Car radio Credit: BANG - Entertainment News BANG - Entertainment News Bang Showbiz Motorists who listen to techno or dance music could become bad drivers. A study by Brunel University in London academics, said drivers need to "exercise caution" when listening to "fast-temp music" because of how it stimulates the brain. Experts believe tracks with a fast beat, aggressive lyrics or loud bass tones can encourage risky behaviour from those behind the wheel, such as not being alert or speeding. This is because the music - such as 'Angels' by Robbie Williams - stimulates a part of the brain called the amygdala, which is a small structure inside the brain that is a part of the limbic system that automatically detects danger - and triggers a slight or fight response. Brunel University said: "Our findings indicate that drivers in high-load, urban environments should exercise caution in their use of fast-tempo music.'
