Oriel High School prom

A dramatic entrance is the order of the day and Year 11 pupils from Oriel High didn't disappoint last Thursday night.

There was everything from a fire engine to a Harley Davidson motorbike on show before the party at the Copthorne Hotel Effingham Gatwick.

Teenagers at the Maidenbower school also turned up in an array of impressive sports cars, a bus and an army truck.

Ryan Sallows, Oriel High's business manager, said: "Preparing for the prom is no longer just about finding the perfect dress or suit, the novelty of making the best entrance possible is a big part of the night.

"One year we had students arrive on space hoppers and word spreads through the school. The next year group want to try and better it.

"It is the perfect venue because there is a driveway undercover where relatives can take photos and watch all the students arrive.

"This year the bus stood out for us when we saw all the students streaming out of it."

There were also fun awards handed out including for the best dressed student and the pupils most likely to become teachers.

Mr Sallows added: "At the end of the night and the days following the prom it hits home to the student that it was the last occasion they will all be together as a group."

Philip Stack, the school's head teacher, said: "I have always been very proud of them and their achievements and never more so than at our prom."

Caffeine overdose ruled cause of prom king's death

A caffeine overdose has been ruled the cause of an Ohio prom king's sudden death before graduation in May.

The Lorain County Coroner reports Logan Stiner of LaGrange, Ohio, had toxic levels of caffeine in his body, and died from an irregular heartbeat and seizures after ingesting caffeine powder.

Stiner was found by his brother near the white powder on May 27, having taken enough to cause the overdose while at home from school for lunch.

"I never thought it would hurt an 18-year-old child," resident Lora Balka told WKYC. She says she hopes his death will encourage other youths to consume caffeine in a mindful manner.

While it's not sold in stores, caffeine powder is available on the Internet and is stronger than traditional forms of the supplement. One teaspoon of the powder contains up to 1,600 milligrams of caffeine — about 70 cans of Red Bull. Comparably, energy drinks contain about 280 milligrams, and a 12-ounce Starbucks coffee contains 260 milligrams.

A warning label on the caffeine powder suggests using a micro-scale to measure a safe amount, and companies claim that it improves focus, increases endurance and elevates mood.

4 Great Sites for Affordable Teen Fashion

ens are always on the lookout for affordable and fashionable clothing retailers. Whether you’re in the market for summer outfits, lazy beach day bathing suits and dresses, or a simple pair of heels for a summer internship, these websites will have you set with a new wardrobe in no time (and no money).



1. Lulus.com Last month, I shot a segment in LA for Access Hollywood, and my entire wardrobe as well as my models’ outfits were mostly provided by Lulus.com. I’ve been a major fan of the website (who carries affordable brands like BB Dakota and Jessica Simpson) for quite some time now, and after working with them on a major segment and seeing how efficiently they run, I couldn’t be more impressed.



2. Missguided Another retailer I partnered with for my Access shoot was Misguided, a UK brand similar to Lulus.com, but with many different brands and price points. Taylor (modeling a Missguided dress above) rocked this red mini on the show, and people raved over its $17 price tag! Make sure you get “misguided” and end up here!



3. Boohoo.com Boohoo recently invited me to their press preview in NYC, where my eyes became locked on several pieces suitable for my teen budget, and sense of bold fashion choices. For those girls and boys looking to experiment this summer with bold prints, trendy colors, and unusual fabrics, Boohoo is the place for you.



4. Sheinside Similar to other online retailers, Sheinside has become an inside source for everything fashion-related. Known for being one of the first online retailers to latch onto trends the minute they hit the runway, Sheinside deserves your thanks for efficiently bringing Paris and Milan RTW pieces straight to your computer, and without the hefty price tag.

The Band Perry, Wynonna Judd Lift Williams Syndrome Campers' Lives at Country Music Camp

Last week was a special one for 30 campers from across the country, who descended upon Nashville for the Academy of Country Music Lifting Lives Music Camp. Held June 23-27, the five-day event provided music enrichment through performance and education for campers who have been diagnosed with Williams Syndrome.

Many of the biggest stars in the format took time out of their schedules to share the gift of music with the campers. On Monday, Republic Nashville’s The Band Perry led a songwriting workshop, recording a song with the campers called "Bright Eyes" during a Wednesday recording session with producer Ross Copperman at Ocean Way Studio that also featured a visit from Curb’s Lee Brice. Throughout the week, campers got to visit with rising stars The Swon Brothers, J.T. Hodges, and Casey James, before winding up their week closing out the Friday night performance of the Grand Ole Opry with Chris Janson.

Sandwiched in the middle of the week’s events was a night of karaoke at Music City hotspot Winners Bar on Division. Participating in the Wednesday night event were Atlantic’s Brett Eldredge and the legendary Wynonna Judd.

Eldredge told Billboard that he was glad to be a part of the event for the second year. “I fell deeply in love with this event and ACM Lifting Lives Music Camp," he said, "I woke up and was waiting all day to get to this moment. I called my mom and dad last year after it was over, and told them I wish you could experience what I just did writing songs with the campers. I’ve never been that moved in all of my life. I wanted to be able to use my music ability to help out others and share with others. The campers here have so much energy and love for it, I’m just so inspired.”

An event like the karaoke night is proof of the power of music, and how it can unite, said Eldredge. "Someone is singing ‘I Believe I Can Fly’ right now, and they are getting into it on stage. They’re holding their hands up on stage and enjoying it. That’s what I want to see when I go to watch a show. I want to feel it, and they do that. I get to be here to lend my craft to it, and that’s a touching feeling. Music touches all, and it can take you so many places – it has nothing to do with your struggles you might be having. It can help you with them."

For Wynonna, what sets the night apart is the pure and unfiltered enthusiasm that the campers feel for the music – and the artists involved. "These kids here are so joyful. One of them said to one of the camp counselors, 'I get to see Wynonna. That’s going to make my whole week.' I love that kind of feeling. Country music fans are the most loyal in the universe. I get more out of it than they do. Somebody will walk up to me and say something so real and so tangible that isn’t about show business. It’s real people, and a real loving environment. They get out there and they own the stage. Last year, I had a guy say 'Sit down, I’m gonna sing to you.' He was telling me what to do."

Judd agreed with Eldredge’s assessment concerning the power of music, saying she still is amazed by its' healing power. "I think music saves everyone’s life. I’m on Twitter everyday, and people will talk about listening to my song while I’m going through chemotherapy or one of my songs helping them through a divorce or something like that. Music is a healer, and I don’t care what you’re going through. We all can remember a song from a period in our lives that got us through."

For camper Joshua Dean – who entertained the crowd with take on The Zac Brown Band’s "Colder Weather," it was a week that he will be eternally grateful to the ACM as well as the Vanderbilt Kennedy Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities for organizing. "I think this is crazy. I’ve been to a lot of country music venues, but nothing like this. Lifting Lives has really blessed us all, and to be able to come here, and experience this for the first time. ACM Lifting Lives Music Camp gives young adults with Williams Syndrome a chance to experience Nashville and country music, but all kinds of music. To experience all of that in one week is an awesome feeling."

Jennifer Aniston Looks Radiant on First Red Carpet in Months, Supports Justin Theroux at Leftovers

Jennifer Aniston's first red carpet appearance in months was worth the wait. The Cake actress looked stunning and slim as she walked alongside fiance Justin Theroux at the New York City premiere of his new HBO series The Leftovers on Monday, June 23.

Asked how it felt to have Aniston there to support him, Theroux told Us Weekly, "It feels great!"

Clad in a black blouse left unbuttoned to expose her cleavage, and a black miniskirt that showed off her toned, tanned legs, the 45-year-old Friends alum happily posed for photographs with her husband-to-be, 42. She wore her hair in loose, tousled waves past her shoulders, and kept the accessories to a minimum—just earrings, a gold watch, and her huge diamond engagement ring.

Theroux, meanwhile, cut a dapper figure in a Dior Homme navy wool suit and crisp white shirt. He and his future wife—engaged since 2012—were all smiles on the red carpet, and even wrapped their arms around each other's waists as they stood side-by-side.

"Jen and Justin were really sweet together," an onlooker tells Us Weekly. "They were both absolutely beaming. Inside the event, Jen was being really sociable and looked extremely happy. They looked totally in love and seemed very relaxed."

Aniston has not made an official red carpet appearance in several months. Her last major premiere was the Life of Crime debut at the 2013 Toronto Film Festival in September. Since then, she's been busy filming the movie Cake, for which she wears minimal makeup and sports a short brunette bob.

The Leftovers, premiering June 29 on HBO, stars the actress' fiance as the chief of police in a fictional New York suburb following a global "Rapture" of sorts. The show is based on Tom Perrotta's novel of the same name, and costars Amy Brenneman, Christopher Eccleston, Liv Tyler, and Chris Zylka.
