Who is … Fie Laursen?

She is a 16-year-old Danish blogger who made tabloid headlines this week when she was spotted kissing Peter Birch, a reality TV star 12 years her senior

How did that happen?!
They attended the MTV EMA party held in Copenhagen on Monday, and seeing as Birch is currently on a break from his on/off relationship with reality ditz Amalie Szigethy, he saw the chance to switch out the old with the very, very new.

Ew.
It does seem a tad creepy. Laursen, however, defended their hook-up, saying it was “no biggie”, and that even though she slept at his place, nothing happened.

Sure … so what does this girl do?
Her blog is about fashion and friends, but Laursen was essentially unknown until January of this year, when she received national media coverage when she spoke about cyber bullying on a DR1 talkshow. According to Laursen, she was the target of multiple bullies after she shared her dreams of becoming a model.

Poor girl!
Another blogger, Bitterfissen Bethany, called the show ‘feelings-porn’. But then again, Bethany is a self-titled bitter c**t, so you might want to take that with a pinch of salt.

What’s next for Laursen, then?
Apart from her blog, she’s started an anti-bullying campaign on Facebook called @Stop Mobning (Stop bullying). Despite the good-hearted philanthropy, we think (and hope?) she’s got all the makings of a future blog-star scandal queen in her: a chihuahua (named Justin after the Biebs, of course), an oversized Louis Vuitton bag, a serious penchant for the colour pink and a killer pout!

    Internationals in Denmark rarely join a trade union

    Internationals are overrepresented in the lowest-paid fields of agriculture, transport, cleaning, hotels and restaurants, and construction – industries that classically lack collective agreements. A new analysis from the Workers’ Union’s Business Council suggests that internationals rarely join trade unions – but if they did, it would generate better industry standards.
