5 conversation topics you can also bring up today instead of complaining about the weather

So you wanted to get up this morning and couldn't because your body was stuck to your mattress like melted gorgonzola. Yuck. Yes, we know: last night was a heavy one. Even your sweat was sweating. Are we going to whine about the weather all day? No way, we got other stuff to talk about.

In Temptation Island VIPS there will be –surprise – from now on tablets on the nightstand where you can request footage of your partner

Oh dear. Save the drama for your mama. So we're just talking about a kind of extra campfire. The candidates can request footage via their iPad a maximum of two times. It's going to be crying time...

There will be a remake of The Simple Life with Paris Hilton
Goodness. We were all over the moon because The Simple Life was returning (even with Lindsay Lohan instead of Nicole Richie!), but it turns out to be a rumor. Paris dismisses the story on Twitter as a fairy tale. ‘It's not true. Yes, I loved that show and was approached to do it again. But I had to say ‘no’ because I have an extremely busy work schedule as I travel the world to run my business empire.’ Such a shame.

The procession caterpillar is once again terrorizing our country
Especially in Amsterdam, reports of skin rashes have skyrocketed since this weekend. Do you have red, itchy bumps right next to each other on your arms and legs? Then you have probably fallen prey to the oak processionary caterpillar, the larva of a moth. Every year – especially with warm weather – the caterpillar comes out to play. There's not much you can really do about it; if you're itching, it's advised to call your doctor.

It's a party at the Huis ten Bosch palace, Princess Alexia is celebrating her birthday
She blows out fourteen candles. Notably, there are no public festivities (as is usually the case for the daughters of the royal couple) this time. The princess is busy with her second school year at the Christian Gymnasium Sorghvliet in The Hague and is keeping it nice and quiet this year. Good for her.

Oh and, just one more thing: if you think it's warm outside now, you're going to cry when you hear about the hottest outdoor temperature ever recorded...
In Azizia (Libya), a temperature of 57.7 °C was recorded on September 13, 1922. That is officially the hottest temperature ever recorded on Earth. Almost SIXTY degrees. Oh. My. God. We're not even talking about melted gorgonzola anymore; you'll wake up as a crispy four-cheese pizza.

Additionally: today totally allowed to come to the office in a bikini and without excuse devour two, three, fuck it, who cares, four ice creams. Gotta love the summer in The Netherlands.
