Who - and what - we love right now (and what we definitely don't)
HEROES
Kym Worthy For vowing to solve 11,000 forgotten rapes in Detroit. When a box of discarded rape kits (DNA swabs taken after rape allegations) was found in a warehouse, Kym - Detroit's chief law enforcement officer - made police investigate each case. 1600 kits have now been analysed, identifying 37 serial rapists.

Tokyo's Power Ranger An all-round lovely guy in Tokyo has proved he's just the kind of person we want to get stuck next to on public transport. Tadahiro Kanemasu, 27, dresses up as a Power Ranger (bear with us) and carries suitcases and buggies down the Underground stairs. Nice bloke. Watch him in action below:
England's women's cricket team Who beat Australia to regain the Ashes - like our men. But who didn't then celebrate the victory by urinating on the pitch - unlike our men.
The 96-year-old pop star Tissue alert. When Fred Stobaugh's wife of 72 years, Lorraine, died in April, he wrote her a love song - which he entered into a competition. The cute country lullaby, Oh Sweet Lorraine, has since stormed to no.7 on US iTunes and had 1.9million YouTube views. A taster? "Oh sweet Lorraine, I wish we could do all the good times over again..." Aw, Fred.
Paris Hilton's porter For shifting all 20 - yes, 20 - of Paris's suitcases back to LA after her month-long DJ stint in Ibiza. In case you're worried we used a typo, we did mean 20.
DOUCHEBAGS
Anyone getting a snail facial £50. To be covered in mucus. Nope.
The melfie-takers AKA: purveyors of extreme male selfies. First there's Bieber looking all smug with his shirt off. Then Adam Levine starts parading about in his (very, very small) pants. Basically, unnecessary information.
Facebook nail varnish It exists. Enough said.
Anyone associated with Twerking Just as we're finally recovering from that VMAs routine, the Oxford English Dictionary goes and makes Twerking officially a thing. Is it wrong to say we kind of miss Gangnam Style?
