You don't need a red carpet to be a celebrity anymore. All you need is an Internet connection.
Throughout 2015, our news feeds were dominated with plenty of inspiring, hilarious or even heartbreaking stories that we couldn't get enough of. More often than not, these stories weren't about some Hollywood A-lister or a reality star, they were about regular people like us.
These people found their 15 minutes of fame using the power of the Internet.

Now that you've (hopefully) finished your Christmas shopping, it's the perfect time to start thinking about some collective New Year's resolutions.
It's up to you as an individual to decide if you want to eat more salad or be more positive in 2014, but there are some blanket resolutions everyone can live by.
And if we stick with them, together, it's going to be a very promising new year.

  • 1. Twerking.
