Emma Stone evidently doesn’t think too much of the charms of one Colin Firth.

The actress appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman where she revealed what she really thinks of her Magic in the Moonlight co-star.

When David says: “He’s a tool,” Emma agrees, saying: “He’s a nightmare … he’s a toolbag.”

Hmm, we’re sure Emma was just joking…hopefully!

Buzzfeed have published a list of ’25 coffee shops around the world you must see before you die’, and 3fe on Grand Canal Street made it to number 15!

In the article they said that “The vibes are so peaceful and calm that you’ll get lost watching the baristas prepare coffee” – we are SOLD!

Owner Colin Harmon is delighted with the publicity: “We’ve managed to make it onto a few international lists over the years, mostly thanks to the various baristas we’ve had compete at the World Barista Championships.

“We have quite a high profile internationally as a result but most of the coffee drinking public in Ireland have never heard of us so lists like this are great for business.”

Harmon appreciated how the article paid tribute to his dedicated staff as well: “It’s so nice that the article made reference to the staff in 3fe because they all put a huge emphasis on service and making sure customers feel welcome at the shop.”

We’ll definitely be heading down soon!

We all love a bit of sunshine, and let’s face it, it doesn’t happen too often!

Clisare, who created that hilarious video Shite Irish Girls Say, has done it again with another brilliant (and spot on) video.

What more could you need when the sun comes out in Ireland only oil and vodka.

Concealers are great – they hide a multitude of sins on our faces and leave us looking red carpet ready! However, some of them can be pretty expensive leaving them out of reach of our tiny budgets.

Samm Newman, from Ohio in the US, has accused social media giant, Instagram, of deleting her account due to her size.

The teenager believed her account was deleted because she shared photos of herself in lingerie, she explained: “Fat is not a bad word. How confident can you be if you keep censoring yourself because people don’t want to look at you? My Instagram, it was my safe place because when I was there, I could share anything.”

Instagram have since reinstated the woman’s account and apologised: “When our team processes reports from other members of the Instagram community, we occasionally make a mistake. We apologise for any inconvenience.”

This is not the first time Instagram has been accused of double standards when it comes to deleting people’s accounts. Instagram is not short of women in bikinis, however, when Meghan Tonjes shared a photo of herself recently, her account was deactivated: “I have pride for my curves. My still very fat body. I like a lot.”

Electric Ireland have done a survey to find out the habits of Irish people when it comes to breaking up with each other, as part of their ‘Breaking Up With Bills’ campaign.

The results we’re pretty interesting – apparently 21% of us have broken up with someone over a text message or email. And men are twice as likely as women to misbehave, in order for their other half to do the dirty work.

Not cool guys, seriously.

If you made it through April with your relationship intact, you should be ok, as it’s the most popular month for breaking up. Whereas in October we must like cuddling up in front of the fire as the evenings get darker, as it’s the least popular month for break ups.

Social media is a tricky one for us to deal with post-break-up as well, one in three of us have de-friended an ex on Facebook, and more than half update their new relationship status immediately.

However, we’re an optimistic bunch at the end of the day, with 70% of people believing that it IS possible to be friends with an ex. Men in particular think this is very possible (though they weren’t the ones with their other halves misbehaving on purpose now were they?!)

Katie Holmes was spotted yesterday with a small baby bump – but it was just for a movie role!

Katie plays a pregnant woman in her upcoming drama starring Ryan Reynolds, called The Woman In Gold.

The actress is a mum to eight-year-old Suri, who she is often seen out and about with.

Katie was also seen walking along a beach shooting scenes with Blake Lively’s husband, Ryan. Can you imagine a hotter co-star?! We can’t!

The Woman In Gold is the true story of one woman’s battle to reclaim her heritage after the trauma of World War II.

Guys are simple beings really, there are things that really, really scare them. We ladies have a lot to thank for that, because most of them are our fault. #sorrynotsorry

1. Girls Crying
The single most awkward situation a guy can find himself in. Thoughts go flying through his head: Do I hug her? Do I ask her about it? Do I pat her on the head and say “there, there” over and over again?

 2. Periods
They just don’t want to hear about it. Which, frankly, is offensive.

lady problems

 3. Big Boobs
They know the trouble they’ll be in if they look down and it takes all their concentration not to.

4. Women In General
The single biggest lie that men tell each other is how good they are with women.

5. Changing Rooms At The Gym
This one doesn’t involve the ladies, but it does involve being naked in front of other guys.

6. Being Asked Directions To Somewhere You Don’t Know
Whenever this happens, the first thing you should do is apologise and explain that you don’t know where that is. However, this rarely happens, and they try to be helpful. By the time they’ve realised that they actually can’t be any help, it’s too late and they just leave them more confused than they were before.

7. When Someone Stands Next To You At The Urinals
Men don’t like this. Especially if there are a lot of other free urinals around, apparently.

8. Another Guy Talking About Something Emotional
They aren’t like us…

9. Girls Asking About Feelings And Emotions And Stuff
Guys aren’t the emotionless robots that we’re often made out to be, but most of the time their emotions are pretty normal, and the most complicated thing they’re thinking about is what’s for dinner. But girls aren’t really ever satisfied with this response, and decide to dig deeper expecting to find another layer. Cue the awkwardness.

10. Tripping Over When You’re On Your Own
To be fair, this one is the worst for everyone.

11. When You Accidentally Touch Hands With Someone In The Street
What’s the big deal? Keep on walking, fellas.

12. Relations Asking About Your New Girlfriend
Girls don’t mind this question, we just answer normally. Guys on the other hand, get all hot and bothered.
