BoredPanda have compiled a selfie gallery featuring these rogue additions - including pooping dogs and sex toys - and they're guaranteed to make you cringe...

NEW Amber Harrison (left), the personal assistant at the centre of the Channel Seven sex scandal, has gone to war on the network - releasing a barrage of private emails sent between network executives including chief executive Tim Worner. Ms Harrison took to Twitter on Thursday night to post the private emails from 2014 which detailed alleged dealings with the Corby family in the days leading up to Schapelle's (right) release from a Balinese prison. The leaked emails are the most recent online spray in an ongoing war between Ms Harrison and Channel Seven, where she was embroiled in a sex scandal with the CEO Tim Worner (inset). 'We got Mercedes' signature late last night. So very close,' one email said.

It has emerged that Tara Palmer-Tomkinson's body was discovered at her luxury London apartment (inset bottom) by her cleaner. She was found dead yesterday aged 45 following a battle with a brain tumour - days after builders said they heard a 'loud bang' from her home. The revelation comes as a friend appeared on This Morning to claim she had relapsed 'into a dark place'. Ivan Massow (pictured right with Tara and inset on the show) said: 'She was facing a lot of problems. The recurring issue [was] that it was very hard for her to stay off drinking and things.'

The sanctimonious may tut tut tut, but Tara Palmer-Tomkinson (right), who was found dead yesterday at her home in London, was a secret - and braver - part of many of us, writes KATIE HOPKINS (inset). We grew up with her, watching her be brilliant in a bikini and snorkel (left), or all fur coat and tiny white knickers, wishing we could be half so brave. A girl who seemed to be like the rest of us, loving her family and friends, making spectacular cock-ups and being brilliantly batty like we want to imagine posh people always are. She even managed to make her godfather, Prince Charles, seem normal, a man just like the rest of us. How we would all love to be so free.

Prepare to go cross-eyed over one photographer's mind-boggling optical illusion snap - as no one is sure how many zebras this image taken by South African Robert Holmwood actually contains. The retired mechanical engineer captured the gaggle of Burchell's zebra at the Kruger National Park in his native country. And the 64-year-old, who retired two years ago, said everyone who views the confusing image has a different opinion on just how many zebras there are in the frame.

A group of property owners in the Sydney beachside suburb of Cronulla have sold their four blocks of eight apartments for $54 million, taking home $1.7 million each. The 32 owners of 49-51 and 55-57 Gerrale Street (pictured are the interiors of some of the properties) put forward an expression of interest to developers and said they had a number of responses. The sale comes after a recent change in NSW strata laws, where only 75 per cent of strata owners need to agree to sell entire blocks to property owners, meaning they can force their neighbours to sell their homes.

Megan Dixon (left), 18, had been interviewed by assistant manager Shantel Wesson (right) for a part-time job at a new branch of Miller and Carter in Enderby, Leicestershire. But the A level student was shocked to receive a text message just moments after the interview, which said: 'It's a no' (inset). When the teenager responded to ask why, Shantel replied: 'Just not engaging. And answers we're "like" basic.' She then used the emoji which depicts someone laughing so hard that they're crying. Megan also claimed the assistant manager had behaved poorly during the interview, by not having a copy of the teen's CV to hand and drinking coffee throughout. A spokesman for Miller and Carter told the paper said they 'could not apologise enough' and that the texts were sent in error and intended for the manager.

From an unfinished fire temple to the resting place of secret society members, pyramid mausoleums were once a popular place to be buried in the US. Freemasons like Fred Adolphus Dorn (inset top right) and George W.P. Hunt (inset bottom left) had pyramids built to honor their loved ones. Dorn's wife Cora (inset top right) was buried in a 25ft Masonic pyramid in California and Hunt and his wife were buried in a 20 ft white-tile pyramid (bottom left) on a hilltop in Arizona. Charles D. Poston (inset bottom right) converted to Zoroastrianism and attempted to build a fire temple (bottom right), which later became his resting place. More than 150 years later, Nicolas Cage (inset top left) followed the trend and had a pyramid mausoleum (top left) built in a famous New Orleans cemetery. DailyMail.com looks at these four along with two others of the most interesting pyramid mausoleums in the US.

Alan Fogg, 54, had to brake suddenly to avoid the family who appeared from in front of static traffic near their school gates. Led by their mother, Alan stopped so harshly he came tumbling off his bike and hit the ground. Alan said: 'I was picking my way through traffic going towards the school when the mother and her children came out of the traffic. I stopped as hard as I could because I was going to hit them and I stopped so quickly that I had the bike on its nose. I ended up falling on the floor but I was uninjured.'

Staffy Bella caught the reptile trying to snatch eggs from the family's chicken hutch in Yandina, Queensland, when the dog started chasing the intruder around the yard. But the lizard threw a spanner in the works by seeking shelter on the dog's back, clinging on for dear life with its claws.

Welcome to Alert in Nunavut, Canada, on Ellesmere Island, where the average February temperature is -33.2C and the record low is -50C. These temperatures are cold enough to freeze unprotected corneas, skin and muscle, in minutes. But that's not all the population here - which can reach over 200 - has to contend with. There's the isolation, too. The nearest town to Alert is 340 miles away and you cannot reach it by car - only by air or sea. Or dogsled.

A video has captured the moment that two flight passengers claiming to be lawyers got into a vicious row over an arm rest.

Many of the other passengers on the plane, believed to be a Monarch Airways flight from the UK to Malaga in Spain, can he heard laughing as the pair's feud escalates.
