Super 6 heartbreak
Super 6: Free to play with a £100k jackpot up for grabsFrank Lampard may have been celebrating etching his name further into Chelsea's history books last weekend, but he also cost one Super 6 player the £100k jackpot. The 34-year-old moved joint second with Kerry Dixon in the club's all-time leading goalscorers list as he netted the fifth their 5-1 victory at Southampton.
While Lampard wheeled off celebrating putting the icing on a fine comeback win, Carl Chamberlain was left reeling as a 4-1 scoreline would have left him with six correct scores from his predictions.
Carl, from Dunstable, was not left completely empty handed however, as he won the £5,000 weekly prize plus a £1,5000 'Get 5 bonus' for his FA Cup selections.
Sky Sports Soccer Saturday pundit Phil Thompson gave Carl a good run for his money as four of his six correct score predictions came in, giving him bragging rights in the studio.
If you want the chance to win big you can play Super 6 free every week. All you have to do is predict the scores of six selected matches. There's £5,000 guaranteed every week for the best performer and get all six results correct and you could win £100,000. Play now

Wait, What?! Super Freaky Photos of Women Who Dress Like Dolls
The Internet is home to many creepy things you can never un-see. Right now, it's the breeding ground for a bizarre craze in which women (and a man or two) show off the results of their attempts — through dramatic plastic surgery, makeup and other methods — to look just like human Barbies or porcelain dolls.
And wouldn't you know? Some are gathering huge followings on social media or YouTube pages with their video beauty tutorials. Many followers are fans legitimately interested in emulating the living dolls' looks — and others gawk for the same reason you probably can't look away right now.
Here we bring you some of the most unbelievable living doll photos we've seen. It's downright baffling. You've been warned.
Facebook.com/valerialukyanovaamatue21We are trying to figure out how Ukraine's Valeria Lukyanova walks without falling over, but we figure her left hand is propping her up out of frame.
Twitter.com/dakotakotiDakota Rose has more than 77,000 Twitter followers — plus a YouTube channel with tutorials on how anyone interested can emulate her style.
venusangelic.comHere's what Venus Angelic wants you to know about her, per her website: "My sparkling personality, my voice and my me exists only once in this entire universe." We think that's probably true.
Facebook.com/pages/Olga-Olyenik/495864760447997We're glad Olga Oleynik is sitting down in these shots, because it seems like falling over every time she stands up would be a real risk and that makes us nervous.
Facebook.com/AnastasiyaFukkacumiShpaginaUkraine's Anastasiya Shpagina has close to 100,000 Facebook followers, including many who gush over her porcelain good looks in the photo comments.
justinjedlica.comOh yes, there's at least one Ken doll to go with all these Barbies: New York's Justin Jedlica credits a fascination with the lives of celebs like Michael Jackson and Donald Trump for his desire to transform his looks this way (presented without further comment).

Super Cute Fashion Risks You Need to Be Taking This Summer
Jon Kopaloff/FilmMagic, Anita Bugge/WireImageHere's why crop tops are wearable right now (unlike the ones you might remember from the last decade they were popular): They don't bare that much. Think more a peek of rib cage than a bra-to-hip reveal.
Jonathan Leibson/WireImage, Frederick M. Brown/Getty Images, Steve Granitz/WireImageCutouts are omnipresent on red carpets these days, and you can get the celebs' right-now look with even a sweet keyhole at the bustline or flash of waistline.
Rob Kim/FilmMagic, Earl Gibson III/Getty Images, D Dipasupil/FilmMagicYou could go full Gatsby by wearing an all-fringe dress for an evening out, or just dip your toe into the trend with a bit of the stuff on a swimsuit or handbag.
Taylor Hill/Getty Images, Christopher Polk/Getty Images for Sony Pictures, D Dipasupil/FilmMagicThe great thing about lace is its versatility. Dress up with a full lace gown, or pair a pretty top with a denim jacket for everyday gorgeousness.
FameFlynet, Inc.We love the trend of mismatched two-piece swimwear for its total cost effectiveness: Try a fun combination of two suits you've worn in past seasons — et voila! A totally updated beach-ready masterpiece.
Mark Cuthbert/UK Press via Getty Images, Michael Buckner/WireImage, Rommel Demano/FilmMagicLook crazy pulled-together in this classic color combo that gets a summer update in sweet frocks and lightweight pants.
David Livingston/Getty ImagesYou don't have to go crazy with nail art to make a very on-trend statement. Try a mani in a fun color, with a contrasting hue on each ring finger for attention-grabbing accent nails. Tres chic!
Taylor Hill/FilmMagic, Kevin Mazur/WireImage, Jim Spellman/WireImageIf you're into conjuring crazy '80s excess, fear not: Updated for this season, neon makes a bold statement in little pops of color on shoes, belts, and clutches. Head-to-toe commitment isn't necessary, but it is fun, especially when applied to a pretty frock!
Jason Merritt/Getty Images for GLAAD, Imeh Akpanudosen/Getty Images, Jason LaVeris/FilmMagicSo gorgeous, so you — yes you! Anyone can wear this look, which is also easy to maintain since the color doesn't begin at the roots.
Donato Sardella/WireImage, NCP/Star Max/FilmMagic, Jason LaVeris/FilmMagicFrom colorful frames and lenses to wacky shapes, statement sunglasses are both totally on-trend -- and also a perfect way to get the sun protection you already needed for your eyes this summer.

Super Easy Toenail Designs: Watch These GIFs for the DIY!
From sandy beaches to flip flops that expose your toes to pretty much everything, sometimes summer pedicures barely last a week. To keep your tips looking fresh try one (or all!) our favorite pedi quick-changes.
To DIY, simply choose a rainbow of five colors and paint each toe a different hue. The effect looks really on trend, but takes no extra time than a standard pedi.
Subtle, but really fun, a glittery diagonal effect starts with a coat of nude polish. After it's completely dry, position a strip of tape across the top. Paint glitter polish on the exposed part of the nail, and then peel away the tape. The result is nude with a little attitude.
A topcoat of matching glitter adds dimension to a plain pedicure. Begin with a bright color (such as the orange we used here) and select a glitter in the same color family (we went with gold).
Start with day-old white nails and select two or more colors for dots. Choose complementary hues (think shades or blue and green) or contrasting colors like blue and orange dots. Drop blobs of nail polish on a scrap of paper. Dip a small brush (a pointed Q-tip also works) into the nail polish and paint tiny dots on your toenails.
