According to us Irish ladies, Mr Right must know his way around a toolbox.

A recent survey, carried out by RaboDirect, revealed that just over 50 per cent of Irish women are looking for a man who is good at DIY.

He must be good with a hammer and be able to get to grips with a power drill, according to the survey.

Similarly, the survey says that 54 per cent of men want a girlfriend who is good in the kitchen.

And we thought we had moved on!

It seems most men – a whopping 84% – are still pretty old fashioned at heart and insist on offering to pay the entire cost of the first date.

However, the survey says only one in 10 women would make a similar offer though more than half now happily offer to split the bill.

It’s only fair!

Rita is now dating DJ, Calvin Harris, we wonder what he makes of all of this!

Meanwhile, Cara is said to have split from her girlfriend, Michelle Rodriguez as the two have not been seen together for a few weeks now.

Nick Cannon has spoken about the rumours that his marriage to his wife of six years, Mariah Carey, is coming to an end.

It was rumoured that the marriage was over because Nick had exposed too many intimate secrets about his marriage and Mariah was not very happy about it.

The actor said: “You kind of have to ignore it, because every week it’s something different, and if you paid attention to it, it actually probably would really start affecting you. It’s kind of humorous, really. It couldn’t be further off from the truth, and it really affects the creditability of the so-called newspapers.”

Nick’s words come soon after photos emerged of the family enjoying a Mother’s Day together.

It’s nice to see that this is one celebrity couple who won’t be splitting any time soon!

There is disappointing news for Pippa Middleton this week after it was revealed her bi-weekly column in The Telegraph has been cancelled.

The column, ‘Court and Social’ was reportedly just not interesting enough to readers as she wrote about spinning classes, cooking pasta and perfect pancakes.

Pippa wrote the column for only six months, so the news will no doubt come as a disappointment to Kate’s little sister.

Kristen Stewart may be the face of iconic designer labels Chanel and Balenciaga, but even she hasn’t escaped a cringe-worthy style faux-pas on the red carpet.

The Twilight star said she is “so, so embarrassed” by the snap taken of her as a child actress at the première of 2002 thriller Panic Room.

But it’s adorable!

Kristen said, “It shouldn’t be embarrassing because I was so young, but it doesn’t even matter how young you are, you’re just so, so embarrassed.”

The actress, who was only 12 at the time, added, “I definitely look back and think, “Oh that wasn’t my best choice”, or that it was so obvious that I wasn’t comfortable in that.

“It is a good feeling though, when you get it right and you can walk tall. It shows, everyone can see that.”

The mammy in the friend group has a serious amount of sh** to deal with, if you do most of these things then it’s probably you…

1. You’re enthusiastic about EVERYTHING
Being the mummy of the group is all about the enthusiasm. Whenever a friend says things like  I got a new job/ boyfriend/ apartment, they will be met with an excited scream of OH MY GOD that is so GREAT, I’m soooo EXCITED for you- AHHHHH!!

emma-stone-excited2. Your handbag contains every item known to man
Your handbag has enough supplies for any situation that could possibly occur: food, make-up, wet wipes, hand sanitizer, 5 shades of lipstick, safety pins and a mini toothbrush…

 3. You know your tea
The mom of the group knows how everyone drinks their tea and can literally remember who takes half a spoon of sugar or who doesn’t take milk..

giphy-3

 4.  You’re fierce
Nobody messes with your friends- if anyone does they can expect a serious talking to. You don’t want to get on this girl’s bad side.

 5. You’re responsible for the Saturday night round up
Rounding everyone up on a Saturday night can be hell. John wants to go to supermax, Eva will only to to Eddie rockers, Siobhan is sitting outside crying and Dean is shifting the face of some young one in the smokers area. It’s the mum of the group’s  job to get everyone in a taxi and back home.

giphy-26. Snacks are your forte
Moms of the group always make sure no one else is hungry. When anyone comes over there is chocolate, crisps and popcorn. Hungry guests are a mom’s worst enemy.  You got this!

 7. You’re in charge of drunk naps
The mum of the group always puts everyone to bed after a night out, she also puts drunky Niamh in the recovery position.

giphy-68. You’re a die hard listener
You’ve heard your best friend go through every little detail of her past break up about 75 times and yet you still listen to her. As the mum of the group you are always listening to everyone else’s problems because you give the best advice.

giphy-5

 9. You always know the best words of encouragement
The mum of the group never loses her endearing sense of optimism. She’s the one who sends you little encouraging texts and messages and says things like  “Of course you don’t look fat” “You are DEFO going to pass that exam” “He’s an idiot not to like you”.

britneycriesandclaps_zpsb6e2e7b710. You get asked to do the dogs work
“Can you help me with my drivers licence form?”, “How do I do my tax back?”, “Will you come with me to get an STD check?” All questions you hear frequently.

Eek, this is embarrassing.

Poor Angelina Jolie suffered a somewhat major make-up fail on the red carpet last night.

Although her husband, Brad Pitt was by her side on the red carpet for the premier of The Normal Heart, he didn’t seem to notice his wife’s powdered face!

Angelina had patches of white powder all over her face which may have been highlighted by the camera flash.

The actress suffered a similar situation last week at a photo call for Maleficent but only on her legs and not too noticeable.

However, it was hard to miss the beauty faux-pas this time, we’re surprised Brad didn’t point it out.

What is it?

Leg cramps can be pretty painful but do you know what to do when they happen?

There is nothing worse than getting a leg cramp in the middle of the night. Thankfully there are ways to stop it.

What causes them?
Muscle cramps can be caused by a number of things including over exercising, switching from a high heel to a low shoe, when it’s cold outside or when you are dehydrated.

How to relieve them?
The best way to stop a muscle cramp when it is happening, is to stretch and massage the muscle. Try taking a warm bath to relax the pressure or place a heat pad on it. Alternatively, an ice pack can also help. Make sure you don’t put the ice pack directly onto the skin as it could burn it. If it is still there, try walking around or leaning against the wall.

How to prevent them?
Make sure you stay well hydrated and maintain a healthy diet. Stretch everyday and before exercising. Limit the amount of caffeine you consume.

It hasn’t been too long since the “unconscious coupling” of Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow, but it looks like Chris isn’t wasting any time!

It has been reported that Chris was seen having a quiet, intimate drink with none other than style queen, Alexa Chung.

The two were spotted at a bar in Manhattan, New York, where sources say: “Chris and Alexa seemed to know each other really well … They were both in a great mood.”

Hmm, we wonder if this was just old friends catching up or perhaps an early love story in the making.

Either way, we wonder what Gwyneth will make of all of this.
