As you know, we're old romantics and proud of it! We'll never tire of looking at couples in love, couples standing up for themselves or couples just being their plain old fabulous selves. So without further ado, here are eight couples who, in the face of adversity, remained strong, good- humoured and most of all, in love.

1) And why should they?

2) Who wouldn't love a couple and a backdrop as fabulous as this?

3) Just yes.

4) One of the first gay couples in New York to marry.

5) Couple stage peaceful protest after a lesbian couple were ejected from a supermarket for kissing in the aisles. 

6) She has a point.

7) Exactly.

8) Looks like it feels a lot happier for these two ladies.

And finally…..
BRAVO

They grow up so fast! It seems like only yesterday we were watching Mary-Kate and Ashley on Nickelodeon, and now one of the twins has apparently tied the knot!

Mary-Kate and her banker fiancé Olivier Sarkozy were spotted wearing gold bands on their ring fingers as they ate lunch in the Hamptons recently, a sight which immediately set tongues wagging. 

And a "well-connected source" has now confirmed that the happy couple have indeed made things official. Speaking to Lucky magazine, the insider revealed that the pair got married in a top-secret ceremony sometime over the last few days.

Just a few family members were in attendance at the hush-hush wedding, it has been reported. MK and Olivier's reps have yet to confirm or deny the news, but those gold rings look like a pretty sure sign to us!

The couple, who share a townhouse in New York, got engaged back in March after almost two and a half years together. 

Although they did receive some heat at the beginning of their relationship for their 17 year age gap, it seems older men are somewhat of an Olsen tradition. Ashley's currently dating director Bennett Miller who is 19 years her senior.

If 27-year-old Mary-Kate did indeed marry her sweetheart, she'll also become stepmother to his two children, aged 14 and 11, from a previous marriage.

Congrats to the happy couple!

Remember when a trip to the cinema was the easier option? When you didn’t want to wear five inch heels or have a pint slopped down your arm, then the cinema was the Get Out Of Jail Free card. You’re still going OUT, you’re just not going OUT OUT. Everybody wins!

So when did the easier option suddenly become a complete head melt? Have you ever flopped into your cinema seat and felt utterly shattered by everything that went before? Yeah, that’s  because you’re experiencing Movie Goer Fatigue.

Let’s take a look at the stages, shall we?

Scheduling
You really want a trip to the flicks, but trying to get yourself, your significant other and a few friends in the local multiplex at a time that suits everyone is harder than making a 9am lecture.

Pilates, late shifts and football training have been conspiring against you for weeks and you’re starting to realise the company isn’t as important as getting to see the actual damn film!

Seating
Front, middle or back? It sounds like a fairly straightforward question, so why do you break out in a sweat and forget how to speak English. “Ehhh…baaaiiiddle?”, you reply while your friends nod in agreement. Flawless.

It doesn’t stop there though. VIP seats? Hell no, we’re not made of money. That won’t stop us from trying to sneak into them later though.

Snacks
The deals. We never know if we’re getting a good bargain or not. Do we NEED nachos, popcorn, a drink AND a family-sized bag of Minstrals? Yes, we do. It’s economics.
 

Damn, Ben& Jerry’s stand! I don’t have enough hands!

Drinks
God forbid, you head to a cinema with a bar. We’ve missed more than one movie because our friend’s drunk on Pinot noir impression of her boss was too good to interrupt.

Should we go in now? Trailers have to be over, right? Nah, one more round!

Toilet breaks
Should you go now, just in case? But you don’t NEED to go now. Although you ARE about to drink what looks like a bucket of diet coke, shouldn’t you prepare yourself? Yes, no, yes, no.
 

Look at that queue! No!

And then…
You’ve made it! You’re actually pushing open the doors of Screen #7 and are about to see the film you’ve been banging on about for weeks. Careful now, while you spill your drink, trip up the stairs and attempt to sit in the lap of some oul lad. This better be worth it.

Joshua Jackson opens up about the sex scenes involved in playing Cole in hit new series The Affair. The thirty-six year-old actor and Diane Kruger’s other half has revealed that filming the particularly graphic sex scenes for the show is not dissimilar to filming fight scenes. Joshua says: “It’s aggressive, but the truth is it’s just like doing a fight scene as an actor. You’re not really beating someone up in a fight scene. The sex is aggressive.”

Joshua admits that these scenes can leave both actors feeling a little unsettled so he tries to be as reasonable about the whole process as possible, saying: “You’re putting a woman in a very vulnerable position when you’re doing scenes like this so the more upfront about it you can be and the more choreographed it can be, the less opportunity there is for awkwardness or anything else bad to happen in that space. For a woman to be completely exposed on a film set is an uncomfortable space.”
 

Perhaps Joshua’s approach to these scenes makes it easy to believe the former Dawson’s Creek star is quite chivalrous and he thinks he inherited his mother’s version of feminism, saying: “You can be simultaneously kind and chivalrous without being patronising. I feel like there’s a degree of grace with which you can live your life when it comes to the opposite sex and you should.”

Well said, Josh!

If our mum had starred in one of the greatest sitcoms of all time, you’d be pretty sure we’d be interested. Friends, the show whose re-runs we never tire of, spawned catchphrases, songs and hairstyles and yet, Lisa Kudrow’s 16-year-old son Julian has no interest in watching the performances which made his mum a household name. We'd be even MORE interested, if she was pregnant with us during filming, like she was with Julian!

Speaking to Jimmy Kimmel in a recent interview, the hilarious fifty-one-year-old actress revealed that her son ‘loves everybody else’, but isn’t overly impressed by the quirky, coffee-house singer Phoebe Buffay. The mum-of-one laughed off Jimmy’s concerns and reassurances about disinterested offspring and was more than happy to reminisce about the show which ran for ten years and brought the lives of six New Yorkers into our living rooms every week.
 

Coming soon to Netflix, die-hard Friends fans can binge-watch the sitcom which premiered twenty years ago. TWENTY YEARS AGO!  (How old does that make us feel?) Maybe if Julian schedules a duvet day, three takeaways and twelve hours of non-stop Friends, he’ll soon see what he’s missing!

Now that the clocks have gone back, winter is well and truly on its way.

Suddenly it seems to be getting dark even before we've left work for the evening – not to mention the fact that it's been raining just a little more than we'd like (okay, a lot more).

But life isn't all bad when the colder weather sets in – in fact, in many ways we love it!

Here are just five things we're super excited about for the next few months…

1. All the hot drinks
Hot chocolate, mulled wine, hot buttered rum or a simple cuppa by the fire. Warm up those freezing fingers with a steamy cup of something delicious, and sit back and enjoy the sound of the rain pouring down outside. Give us a warm fire and a delicious hot drink over a sunny summer beach any day!

2. The style!
Cardigans, scarves. hats and gloves – the high street is full of winter clothes now and we can't get enough of it. Not to mention all those slinky and sparkly Christmas party numbers. Winter fashion is the BEST.

3. It's an excuse to eat loads of amazing food
Christmas dinner aside, the colder months are just BETTER when it comes to food. Be it a hot stew at your mammy's table or a steaming bowl of tomato soup on a cold day, we love the tasty opportunities that the cold weather brings. Plus, your body needs the extra insulation, so forget the diet for the next few weeks. That's our expert opinion!

4. The build up to Christmas will be starting soon…
… even though it kind of has already! As soon as Halloween is over, Christmas decorations will start popping up all over the place and you can really begin getting in the mood. Our "Christmas is here" checklist? The Coca Cola trucks ad, Last Christmas on the radio, and of course, The Late Late Toy Show.

5. Couch time becomes essential
A Sunday hike? Ha. Get thee to the couch with a blanket, slippers and a whole lotta Netflix. Now you're in the winter spirit!

6. Parties galore
The colder months are full of work events, friendly gatherings and dinners in the run-up to the festive season.. not to mention Halloween and Thanksgiving (if you have an American friend/roommate/relative). Get your glad rags on!

Kris Jenner, the world’s most famous ‘momager’,  has discussed her son Robert’s body image on a recent episode of The Dr. Oz Show. Despite saying, on national TV, that her twenty-seven-year-old son has always been ‘chubby’, the mum-of-six said that she tells her children “how much they’re loved and how beautiful they are on the inside.”

Recent reports suggested that Rob and his mother’s relationship is far from loving, with the young sock designer claiming that Kris treats him “like dirt” while a source close to the family said: “It’s his mom who makes him feel terrible.” We don’t know how Rob will feel about Kris’s latest TV interview in that case.
 

Rob’s non-attendance at his sister Kim’s wedding to Kanye West earlier this year was yet another indicator that all was not well in the Kardashian camp.  This, in addition to reports that Kylie could no longer stand living with her mother, doesn’t do much to prove Kris’s claims that she’s a “real supportive parent”.

Kris and older sister Kim have reportedly made reference to both Rob’s appearance and professional life in the past, with some sources claiming that Kris once said: “He’s an obese person with a failed sock line.”

Kris says that everyone’s a critic, but it must be very difficult for Rob if he thinks his mum is his biggest one.

If you're sick of Pumpkin Spice Lattes and feel that the dawn of the Starbucks Red Cups is a long time away, fear not, as the coffee giant is cashing in on the seasonal fun with a special Halloween drink, available for just three days.

Behold, the Franken Frappucino – a Green Tea Frapp with peppermint and white chocolate mocha added. Yum!

Look at all that scary, green goodness!

Starbucks Ireland don't officially have the Halloween drink advertised in their branches (maybe they're waiting to use the recipe for Paddy's Day), but you can just be cheeky and ask for one anyway – here are the instructions!

  1. Start with a Green Tea Frappuccino
  2. Add java chips
  3. Add three pumps of white mocha sauce
  4. Add three pumps of peppermint syrup (and substitute that for the classic syrup – there’s no classic syrup in the Franken Frappuccino.)
  5. Top with whipped cream and mocha drizzle.

We will definitely be giving this one a go!

This 911 call will raise the hairs on the back of your neck – and you can’t even hear it.

A victim of domestic abuse raised an alarm at her house by ordering pizza – but she had actually dialled 911.

At first, the operator, Keith Weisinger, is somewhat confused by the woman’s call, but soon come to realise her covert operation.

He later told the story on Reddit, in his own words.

Here is how the call went:

“911, where is your emergency?”
“123 Main Street”
“Okay, what’s going on there?”
“I’d like to order a pizza for delivery” (Oh great, another prank call)
“Ma’am, you’ve reached 911”
“Yeah, I know. Can I have a large with half pepperoni, half mushroom and peppers?”
“Ummm…I’m sorry, you know you’ve called 911, right?”
“Yeah, do you know how long it will be?”
“Ok, Ma’am is everything ok over there? Do you have an emergency?”
“Yes, I do”
“And you can’t talk about it because there’s someone in the room with you?” (moment of realisation)
“Yes, that’s correct. Do you know how long it will be?”
“I have an officer about a mile from your location. Are there any weapons in your house?”
“Nope”
“Can you stay on the phone with me?”
“Nope. See you soon, thanks.”

Weisinger then checked the address given and discovered multiple domestic disputes reported from there.

Police officers at the location found the woman beaten up with her drunk boyfriend in the house and Weisinger says he’ll never forget the clever rouse she used to raise the alarm of her abuse.

Why can’t real-life relationships be more like the ones we see on-screen? Here’s our list of the best fictional boyfriends ever.

1. Noah from The Notebook

With his combination of charm, sincerity and adventurous spirit, Noah has all of the ingredients to be the perfect boyfriend. He knows what he wants, and he’ll do whatever it takes to get it, even if that means dangling off a Ferris wheel. Let’s face it: Ryan Gosling in any role is our dream boyfriend.

Memorable quote: “I want all of you, forever. You and me, every day.”

2. Nick from New Girl 

From the moment that Jess moved in with the guys, we were already rooting for her and Nick to get together. Although he can be a little grumpy and pessimistic at times, he’s a loyal friend, a great listener and the perfect partner in crime. Who didn’t swoon during that amazing first-kiss scene?

Memorable quote: “I think you’re the kind of girl a guy would come back for.”

3. Jack from Titanic

Jack Dawson is the ultimate romantic. Come on, the guy froze to death to save the life of the girl he loved, even when it was quite clear he could have fit on that piece of wood. We love his boyish charm, spontaneity and smile that could melt any girl’s heart. Plus, he really knows how to wear a tux.

Memorable quote: “You jump, I jump, remember?”

4. Dr McDreamy from Grey's Anatomy

Oh swoon swoonage. Mc Dreamy, the ultimate gentleman; he’s kind and gentle and… he’s a brain surgeon. Meredith is annoying as hell and we don’t know how she got him, but wow. 

Memorable quote: “You’ll never love yourself half as much as I love you.”

5. Pacey Witter from Dawson’s Creek

Pacey Witter was the heart throb of many a girl born in the late 80’s/early 90’s who watched Dawson’s Creek religiously. The way he looked and treated Joey Potter was unparalleled, he was the bench mark that many a boy was measured against, and few measured up. So sweet, so unrealistic.

Memorable quote: “You and I were one of the few things, perhaps the only thing, that ever made perfect sense to me.”

6. Tom from (500) Days of Summer 

Tom is a hopeless romantic and one of the few guys left who still believes in fate and true love. You would never have to worry about “defining the relationship” with him – if Tom is with you, you can rest easy knowing he’s in it for the long haul. Plus, we love that he has good taste in music and a penchant for running through IKEA stores.

Memorable quote: “I love how she makes me feel. Like anything’s possible… or like life is worth it.”

7. Graham from The Holiday

The heartbreaking story of poor widowed Graham who falls hopelessly in love with Cameron Diaz in The Holiday. The scene when he’s doing Mr Napkin head for his daughters is really what gets us in this one. 

Memorable quote: “I finally know what I want and that, in itself, is a miracle. And what I want is YOU.”

8. Chuck from Gossip Girl 

With confidence, class and a smouldering gaze, Chuck Bass is the epitome of tall, dark and handsome. Although he can be kind of mean, we can’t help but be drawn to his bad-boy charm. If more college guys dressed as well as Chuck does, the world would be a more beautiful place.

Memorable quote: “I’m sorry I gave up on us when you never did.”

9. Johnny Castle from Dirty Dancing

Pretty much the coolest guy we’ve ever seen, Johnny from Dirty Dancing was the best. We all dreamed of meeting an older, sexy ride that taught us everything we needed to know about life and sex in one summer. Dem hip moments though…

Memorable quote: “Nobody puts baby in the corner”

10. Aidan Shaw from Sex And The City

He’s not Mr.Big, he never will be – he’s a whole other kind of guy. Aidan was just… so…. nice. This man just wanted to carve you furniture and take you to a log cabin and then out to his cool bar. Okay so maybe he wasn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but for the sane women out there who can actually appreciate a genuinely nice guy – he was your Adonis.

Memorable quote: “I love you, Carrie. There’s no one I could love more. I want to live my life with you.”

10. Smith Jarrod from Sex And The City

Well we couldn’t exactly include SATC and NOT have Smith in here. Not only was he literally the hottest thing ever to grace our screens, he was also head over heels in love with Samantha, totally faithful, accepted her for exactly who she was and just an all round absolute gem.

Memorable quote: “I forgot to tell you something on the phone: I love you.”
