It seems amazing to think that next year marks the end of a decade. For many of us, that time represents the move from primary school to secondary, to sixth form and well into university \u2013 but it isn\u2019t just us that have changed. The world is a completely different place than it was ten years ago, and our writers have been looking into the big stories in entertainment news that have defined the decade.<\/b><\/p>\n

Zayn Leaves One Direction<\/span> \u2013 Morgan McMillan<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

On 25th March 2015, Zayn Malik decided to go in another direction. Fans were screaming, hearts were broken, and the world was falling apart because the beloved five-some became a foursome \u2013 ironically <\/span>after<\/span><\/i> they\u2019d just released an album entitled <\/span>Four<\/span><\/i>. Zayn\u2019s departure came as a shock to many fans across the globe as One Direction was in preparation for their fifth studio album. However, Zayn cited that he \u201cfelt it was the right time\u201d to leave the group as he wanted to live a \u201cnormal life\u201d. His departure served him well, as he released two hit solo records since and has done duets with Taylor Swift and Sia, showing he chose the right direction.<\/span><\/p>\n

The rest of the band only lasted one more album before calling it a day themselves and going on hiatus, and since then each of them has joined Zayn in becoming successful soloists in their own right.<\/span><\/p>\n

Celebrity deaths- Becky Davies<\/span><\/p>\n

This year will, unfortunately, go down in history for the seemingly relentless tide of heartbreaking celebrity deaths. The year started with the news that the legendary David Bowie had passed away (sparking <\/span>that <\/span><\/i>\u2018David is dead!\u2019 incident on <\/span>Celebrity Big Brother<\/span><\/i> with Angie, his ex-wife, and Tiffany Pollard), followed closely by the wonderful Alan Rickman, and then iconic broadcaster Sir Terry Wogan. The following month, <\/span>To Kill A Mockingbird<\/span><\/i> author Harper Lee passed away. Comedians Ronnie Corbett and Victoria Wood and boxer Mohammed Ali were next, and then we heard the devastating news that Prince had joined them. Caroline Aherne and Gene Wilder were next, and the year came to an end with the news that George Michael and Carrie Fisher had also passed away. There are not enough words to do each of these incredible people justice, but fans were united in a cloud of grief for the stars who they had idolised from childhood to adulthood. They \u2013 and many others \u2013 will be sorely missed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kendall Jenner\u2019s Pepsi Ad<\/span> \u2013 Morgan McMillan<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

World peace can be done simply by promoting peace and love down the street and getting a supermodel to hand a can of Pepsi to a police officer. Crazy idea? We know, but that didn\u2019t stop the Kendall Jenner Pepsi Ad from doing so. The two-and-a-half-minute advert features Kendall being photographed in a fashion shoot. As she sees a multicultural protest outside, she becomes inspired, taking off her wig and dramatically wiping her lipstick off to join the crowd. The \u2018short film\u2019 was criticised for appropriating the Black Lives Matter movement as the imagery was similar to photos of Ieshia Evans, a protester who was arrested by law enforcement while protesting the death of Alton Sterling at the hands of police.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kylie Jenner, Baby!<\/span> \u2013 Morgan McMillan<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Out of the blue, Kylie Jenner announced the birth of her baby girl (Stormi Webster) with Travis Scott after keeping the pregnancy a secret for its entire duration. On 4th February 2018, she released a video titled \u2018To Our Daughter\u2019 which features a series of home videos from throughout Kylie\u2019s pregnancy. The video is heart-warming and shows all the private intimate moments we were not able to see (which for the Kardashian\/Jenner family is a rarity). For example, her former best friend, Jordyn Woods said \u201cWhen you\u2019re 20 years old, you are just figuring out your life, you don\u2019t know what you want, you\u2019re an indecisive teenager and you\u2019re just becoming a young adult. And there is one thing your mom knew for sure, and that was you\u201d. This one line formed tears for many fans (including myself), and since this, Stormi and Kylie have gone on to create the amazing \u2018rise and shine\u2019 meme.<\/span><\/p>\n
