text messages

Welcome to the world of direct messaging. A lot of men like to use this place to be really slick, but unfortunately, most of them are unsuccessful. Men definitely underestimate the bullsh*t detectors that women are essentially born with. Just because we can't see you via text, we can still read between the lines, and rest assured we WILL roast you if it's what you deserve. So be afraid Chads, be very afraid.

Ryan Gosling, the guy who won over the nation's hearts after his role in The Notebook, turned the big 4-0 last week on November 12. Although his celebration wasn't as lavish as Kim Kardashian's 40th birthday private island rave, his celebrity friends congratulated him nonetheless. Together with Mock Diaries, we bring you the hilarious (but satirical) text messages he received from friends and family. Welcome to this week's parody series of celebrities' intimate conversations.

While the world continues its descent into madness, celebrities are continuing to live their best lives. Between Kim Kardashian celebrating her 40th birthday on a private island and Gwen Stefani getting engaged, there's no shortage of celebrations happening amongst the rich and famous. And now another celeb who we owe a huge congratulations to is Scarlett Johansson, who married Colin Jost last week. Although it's Scarlett's third marriage, it is only Colin's first, so perhaps she can give him some tips on how to survive it. Although, on second thoughts, maybe she's not the best one to ask for advice on this particular topic. Either way, we've teamed up with Mock Diaries to bring you the text messages that Scarlett received after the wedding from her famous friends and family. Welcome to this week's parody series of celebrities' intimate conversations.

Each week, together with Mock Diaries, we bring you a sneak peek into the secret world of texts between celebs. One of the most significant celebrity news pieces this week was Gwen Stefani's announcement of her engagement to her boyfriend of five years, Blake Shelton. After posting the happy news on Instagram yesterday with the caption: 'Yes, please!', her picture boasted an enormous engagement ring. We were able to get ahold of the text messages her family, and some of her very famous friends sent her after hearing the exciting news. Welcome to this week's parody series of celebrities' intimate conversations.

Ever wondered what famous people text their other famous friends? Come on, admit it, we've all been there. Are their conversations as weird and mundane as the regular folk, or do they just gossip about other celebs? Does Beyoncé really shoot text Jay Z to grab some milk on his way home? I guess we'll never know, but we've teamed up with Mock Diaries to bring you parodies of celebrities' intimate conversations with their family and friends with the hope to make you laugh (or cry, it's totally up to you how you react!)

Whether it's the classic "We need to talk," or seeing a bunch of missed calls from your mom, we all know what would trigger us if we woke up seeing it on our phone screens. A Reddit thread asking people for the worst text message to wake up to has revealed some heart-stopping answers, which I know would send me into full-blown panic mode if I received them. Scroll through and see if any of these (nuclear threat warning aside), trigger you and bring up any bad memories.
