Not content with taking over the big screen with a string of Hollywood successes, Irish actor Colin Farrell now plans to take on the world of television.

The Dublin native confirmed that he will be starring in the second season of HBO drama True Detective.

He confirmed to the Sunday World that he will appear in at least eight episodes of the new series. Given that season one actually only had eight episodes in total, it sounds like Colin has a pretty major role!

Although he doesn't know many details yet, the actor said he is already "so excited" to begin filming. "I know very little about it, but we’re shooting in the environs of Los Angeles which is great. It means I get to stay at home and see the kids."

Colin has previously admitted that he keeps his children James and Henry out of the spotlight and that they know very little about their dad's fame. "They have no idea what I do for a living," he said in an interview earlier this year. 

"Henry saw me on the TV screen once and he went, 'What are you doing there?'" Aaaaw!

Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson will not be returning to their iconic True Detective roles this season, but the hunt is on for a big name female to star alongside Colin. Favourites at the moment are Rachel McAdams, Elisabeth Moss and Colin's Alexander co-star Rosario Dawson.

Hmmm, we don't mind if Rosario joins you on screen Colin, but you can leave the dodgy blonde wig behind this time!

If you felt a bit sick even reading that, you are not alone.

Always one for experimenting with flavours, Starbucks has launched a new Dark Barrel Latte inspired by Irish stout such as Guinness.

Starbucks describe the new latte as a “blend of espresso, and chocolatey stout flavoured sauce and freshly steamed milk, topped with whipped cream and dark caramel drizzle.”

It's also available as a Frappuccino, but if you want something cold that tastes like Guinness, you could always, you know, drink some Guinness.

It's currently only available at a few locations in the US while they test its popularity, and the reaction on Twitter has been… mixed.

It looks like the Guinness Latte is a contender to be the next Marmite.

Celebrities have reacted to the latest slew of leaked nude photos to hit the internet over the weekend.

Kim Kardashian, Rihanna, Kate Bosworth, Vanessa Hudgens, Gabrielle Union and Amber Heard are among those who reportedly had their iCloud accounts hacked. 

Amber was among those worst affected. The actress, who is engaged to actor Johnny Depp, appeared in over 50 of the leaked snaps. One of them was clearly taken for her fiancé – in it she holds a sign reading "Tonto", in reference to Johnny's character in The Lone Ranger

As for Rihanna, two topless pictures – one with her breasts censored – were uploaded to Reddit yesterday morning and then quickly deleted.

Although many of the stars have kept quiet since the news emerged, some were quick to make public statements confirming the photos were real.

Gabriele Union released a joint statement to TMZ with husband Dwayne Wade, revealing that she has already contacted the FBI in relation to the published photos of her. "It has come to our attention that our private moments, that were shared and deleted solely between my husband and myself, have been leaked by some vultures," the statement read.

"For anyone out there also being affected by these and other hacking and hate crimes – We send our love, support and prayers… We have done nothing wrong."

A bit of a shaky start to the pair's new marriage – they tied the knot only a few weeks ago!

There has been no word from Kim Kardashian's camp about the leaked snaps of her, but husband Kanye looked decidedly upset yesterday as her was pictured arriving at LAX airport.

Vanessa Hudgens – who is apparently shown fully nude in the leaked pictures – is worried this new round of images will seriously damage her career, according to a source. This is not the first time the star has been affected in this way – back in 2007 she apologised publicly to fans after intimate pictures appeared online.

"She has learned to accept that it happened before and there really isn’t anything she can do about it,” an insider revealed to Hollywood Life. “She is still upset, and now that it has happened again, she is even more rocked by it because she really wants to be known as a serious actress. She is very upset and is looking to have her people do something about it more strongly this time.”

A number of unseen Jennifer Lawrence nudes were also uploaded, according to reports. The Hunger Games star has yet to make comment but she has appeared in public a small number of times since the first photos of her leaked last month.

Shane Richie, best known as Alfie Moon on EastEnders, is in trouble today as it seems he was photographed kissing a mysterious blond woman last week after the TV Choice Awards.

Shane has been married to his wife Christie Goddard since 2007, and they have three children together.

This allegation comes just three years after Christie forgave him for a long term affair with the woman who ran his fan club that was revealed in the press.

Speaking to the Sun on Sunday, who published the photo today, the source recounted the incident.

“[The blond woman] was running her finger down his chest and into the open collar of his shirt, then ran her fingers through his hair and stroked his head,” the source revealed.

"They were giggling and chatting for a full 20 minutes before they headed back in. But Shane stopped the woman and put his arm around her waist.”

"She wrapped an arm around him too, and he leaned in to kiss her passionately on the lips twice before they finally broke away from each other."

‘He then walked to his chauffeur driven car alone, got in the back and left, while she returned to the hotel.”

Shane's representatives have refused to comment, and we're not surprised, how can he get out of this one?!

Just as things were dying down, a second wave of celebrities have been caught up in the naked photo hacking scandal.

Stars targeted by hackers this time include Kim Kardashian, Avril Lavigne, Aubrey Plaza, Vanessa Hudgens, Mary-Kate Olsen and Hope Solo.

The photos were posted to the site 4Chan, but with the tighter regulations brought in after the first photo scandal three weeks ago the pictures were quickly removed from the site.

Unfortunately, by the time the site's administrators swung into action the photographs and videos had already been downloaded and distributed elsewhere.

As with the first pictures, they seem to include snaps that are years old, backing up the claim that these pictures have been acquired and distributed online in secret for a long time.

The FBI are still investigating the first leak, while Apple claims its iCloud security has not been breached and that it was a targeted attack.

It's been a terrifying week for the family, friends and fans of R&B star August Alsina.

While performing, August fainted and fell off the stage, and had to be rushed to hospital. The next day he was placed in a medically induced coma, and was put of a breathing machine while suffering seizures.

Thankfully however, it looks like August is starting to recover. He came out of the coma after three days, and posted a heartfelt message on Instagram to his worried fans.

“This is a bit graphic but I wanted to share this with every follower of mine. I woke up out of a 3 day coma… and this guy @banggang_moneyteam right here never once left my side.”

“What I'm tryna say is cherish the ones in life who cherish you & take good care of yourself. Your life can be gone in a split second'. I'm recovering well and thank you for all of your prayers & concerns. – Yung”
