There are plenty of viral wedding videos, but nothing will make you smile like this mother and son’s dance routine.

This pair decided to take their wedding dance to the extreme by creating a surprise dance mash-up of their own.

What makes it even better, is the bride clearly didn’t see it coming.

James McAvoy and his X-Men co-stars got up to a lot of mischief while shooting the movie.

The actor returns as Professor Charles Xavier in action flick X-Men: Days of Future Past, and said he shares a “real strong bond” with his co-stars, including Michael Fassbender and lovebirds Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult.

“We had a lot of fun when we were filming. We’ve got a real strong bond, both of the groups do actually. Me, Michael [Fassbender], Nic [Hoult]… Jen Lawrence, Peter Dinklage, Josh Helman… There was a lot of farting about, you can see [it],” he said.

“But then, I don’t know, that translates on the cameras [because] we’re all tied so closely and the things we sacrifice for each other, that makes a good ensemble. These movies always pick up a good ensemble,” the actor added.

X-Men: Days of Future Past hits Irish cinema screens from May 22nd.

Miley Cyrus has hit back at claims surrounding her controversial performance at London’s G.A.Y. nightclub.

The claims mostly surround the 21-year-old’s performance of her hit song, Wrecking Ball and the rant she had about the song’s meaning, beforehand.

Miley implied heavily throughout her rant that the hit song was in fact about her ex fiancé, Liam Hemsworth.

But Cyrus has now taken to Twitter to insist that her on-stage rant was not about her ex, but just an attempt to get the crowd riled up about her performance.

Miley went onto say in her tweets that she doesn’t usually respond to reports, but she didn’t want hateful things being said about people she cares about.

Well it’s good to see that Miley and Liam are on good terms, but still that rant seemed a little too coincidental for our liking.

Alec Baldwin has been arrested in New York.

Though very little details have been released as to why the actor has been arrested, it is thought it is because he was riding his bicycle the wrong way on the road and when approached by police, did not have any ID on him.

There have been mixed reports regarding the recent arrest with InTouch magazine saying that the actor was “quiet and calm” while other sources say he was very angry and screamed at officers.

This wouldn’t be the first time Ireland Baldwin’s dad has been in trouble and is often known for his volatile outbursts at paparazzi.

Alec recently took to Twitter to say that the police did nothing wrong but blamed photographers for camping outside his house and frightening his daughter.

As soon as celebs hit the big time (well kind of!) their next big step, it seems, is to launch a perfume – Katie Price has done it, Kim Kardashian has three and Paris Hilton has ten!

The latest reality star to add to the list of perfume launches is TOWIE’s Sam Faiers, who has released her very first perfume, La Bella.

According to Sam, the scent is based on her personal favourite smell – vanilla! But also contains “elegant iris flower and benzoin at the heart”

Talking about her scent, the Essex girl said: “I didn’t want to simply put my name to something, like a lot of celebrities do, that’s not the direction I want to go.”

The star has secretly been wearing her perfume before its release in June and it seems like it is already a hit as Sam admits to receiving “so many compliments”.

The 23-year-old already co-owns boutique, Minnie’s, so, even though she is set to quit the hit show at the end of the series, she definitely won’t be sitting around twiddling her thumbs.

Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher have been the unfortunate victims of some serious paparazzi stalking since they began going out.

Now that Mila has officially announced her pregnancy, it seems as if things have gotten even worse.

The actress proved she had really had enough recently and yelled at photographers outside their home.

Ashton was also there and tried to lead his fiancée inside and away from any negative situation.

As much as we love to see photos of Mila, it’s never nice to see a pregnant woman in distress so hopefully they can leave them alone.

Somewhere along the way, ‘carbohydrate’ became a dirty word.

Celebrities like Jennifer Aniston were swearing off them for life and ‘carb-free’ alternatives were popping up on menus the world over.

However, a healthy carb supply can help give you bags of energy, keep blood sugar levels even and keep you in a good mood!

Here are five healthy foods which actually have more carbs than a slice of bread:

Sweet Potatoes
Spuds are known for their starchy carb levels, but a medium-sized sweet potato has 24 grams of carbs, 105 calories, and lots of vitamin A and potassium. Plus they’re yummy too!

Kidney beans
Kidney beans are packed full of healthy carbs – around 30 grams per serving! Put them in a yummy chilli for a carb-kick that won’t leave you bloated.

Chickpeas
Chickpeas have up 35 grams of carbs per cup—with only six of those grams from sugar. Chickpeas are also low in calories (just 210 per cup). Hummus anyone?

Apples
Sink your teeth in a delicious apple to get up to 27 grams of carbs into your daily diet. It also comes with about five grams of fibre, 114 calories, and 1.5 grams of fat.

Raisins
The perfect low fat snack! Just a quarter cup of raisins has 33 grams of carbs – more than twice as much as a slice of bread! With 123 calories, 1.5 grams of fibre per quarter cup, a handful of raisins will give you bags of energy!

If you’ve worked in retail for any amount of time you’ve probably developed a smoking habit, cynical attitude and lost hope in humanity.

Dealing with rude customers, annoying managers, and endless shifts all for minimum wage should be recognised as a crime.

These are the things that every retail worker has had to endure in their time.

1. Being expected to stop thieves
You work on the register or in the stock room, but somehow you’re also expected to tackle a 6″5′ fleeing thief. Hire a security guard for Christ’s sake, that’s not in your job description.

2. Customers throwing money on the counter rather than placing it in your outstretched hand.
There is nothing more infuriating than this ignorant a**hole! Clearly seeing your hand waiting to accept the money, they drop their change on the counter and expect you to pick it up, one coin at a time.

f3. When you have to tell a customer their card is declined
The awkward face EVERY retail worker makes at this moment.

468750664. Customers making a mess
You sometimes feel like they are doing this purely to piss you off!

giphy5. Rude customers
There is nothing worse than having to deal with an ignorant customer, struggling maintain that fake smile on your face.

22jCQ276. Customers letting their kids run wild and free
If you must go shopping with your complete family, for the love of God, please don’t bring them all up to the register to pay. Believe it or not, only one person is needed for this mighty task.

7. Dealing with “cute” couple fights over who is paying.
Just give me the money. Go enact your strange financial foreplay somewhere else.

giphy8. Wandering off in the middle of a transaction
Someone sees cousin Mary enter the store and leaves during the transaction to catch up on the last thirty years.

giphy9. Customers blaming you for stuff out of your control
Someone freaks out at you because the price isn’t what it says on the label. They seem to feel like your job is also to MAKE the prices, but this is actually not the case. Find someone else to take out your frustration of being overcharged €2 on.

Everybody has their fake retail smile. It gets harder and harder to maintain the longer you work there!

11. People paying you with a mountain of change
Yes, we don’t mind taking your change but within bloody reason. We don’t want to count 2000 1c coins when there’s a queue of 10 people behind you!

30-Trucks-of-Coins

12. The Customer is almost NEVER right!
Vehemently arguing that a product is overpriced, only for us to show you that you were actually looking at the completely wrong label, or you hadn’t realised that the price was in EURO, not pound sterling!

giphy13. You and your friends work completely different shifts
The little fun you used to have in work has been taken away from you by your manager. Now you’re stuck working with the employees your least compatible with, in order to ensure you’re never happy at work.

giphy14. “Can I pay part card/part cash?”
WHY do you have to be so awkward? You really shouldn’t have to divide up a subtotal of €15 by cash and card.

fuck-the-fuck-off

15. Customers who move at an obnoxiously slow pace when there is a massive queue behind them
Anybody who moves THAT slow clearly is doing it on purpose. I don’t care how old you are. Shift it sister!

16. A half hour break is simply not enough for the hell you have to put up with each day
Time doesn’t seem to apply during working hours. 30 minutes break is a totally different amount of time than 30 minutes on the register.

17. You agree to cover someone’s shift and immediately wish you could go back in time to change your decision
“Why did I just do that?” The worst part is that the other person never returns the favour.

18. A customer has mistaken you for a qualified therapist
We don’t want to hear about your life struggles at 5pm on a Tuesday evening. Just take your purchases and head for the exit please.

19. People entering the shop and meandering around the store at closing time!
Are these people actually serious? Despite what they might think, we actually do have other things to do and would like to leave when our shift ends. If you want to wander aimlessly around the store at closing time, please pay me extra for allowing you to do do.

tumblr_mmwl07l8gx1rt9ukxo1_50020. Trying to text without your boss seeing you
Texting your friends under the register that you’ll need them to pick you up a copious amount of alcohol to forget about your job for the briefest of moments, without your boss catching you.

anigif_enhanced-buzz-11572-1381172380-921. Having to deal with drunk or high customers
The worst of the worst. Slurring their words and gazing hopelessly into your eyes. The stink of alcohol pouring into your nostrils as you try your best to deal with their dire antics.

giphy22. Telling a customer that there is in fact a queue in your store
Yes, there is actually a line that you must enter, not just burst your way to the head of the register. And then they get pissy with you for telling them nicely.

ff

23. The terribly annoying retail jokes that we hear ALL the time
You’ll immediately recognise these. “Do you take cash?” Haha good one! Yes, we do actually accept cash… Now hand it over.

giphy24. Infuriating “witty” retorts from customers
when an item doesn’t scan: “It must be free.” Or even worse. You’ve endured a 3 hour blitz of customers and are enjoying your first sip of water and the temporary silence, when you here: “Oh you must need something to do?!”

25. You’re not above breaking your phone in order to avoid being called into work on your day off
You’ve thought about it. Either turning your phone off or pinging it off a wall because you just give up. Nothing is worse than going into that place on your day off.

anigif_enhanced-buzz-24468-1381170458-29

26. Your outlook on life has completely changed after working in retail
You’ve developed a cynical attitude and your hope for humanity is completely drained.

Eek, it doesn’t look as if there is much sisterly love here!

Following THAT fight with Jay-Z, Solange has deleted almost every trace of Beyoncé from her Instagram account.

The sisters, who are often snapped candidly together, are clearly having difficulties and now Solange has made this even more obvious.

There is only one single photo of the pop star left on Solange’s Instagram account, with many followers asking her if she has forgotten to include it in her delete spree.

It has also been revealed in the last day that Jay-Z wasn’t the only one fighting with Solange on the night of the Met Gala.

Solange also reportedly yelled at designer, Rachel Roy, right before the incident in the elevator occurred. Beyoncé  is said to have intervened in the argument between her sister and the designer.

The group were attending an after-party in the Boom Boom Room at the Standard Hotel in New York City.

We really hope these two can sort these things out – it’s never nice to see sisters fighting.
