Nicky Byrne of Westlife is reported to be replacing Colm Hayes in the 11am-1pm slot on RTE’s 2fm. It has been said that Colm will be staying with RTE’s 2fm but moving to a different slot.

The move is another shake-up for company since it was taken over by new controller, Dan Healy who believes Nicky will “appeal to young audiences through instant likeability and humour”.

Ryan Tubridy rang Nicky on his own radio show to congratulate him and Nicky told him about his fears and how he was looking forward to the future: “It’s very daunting for me … I’m really, really looking forward to it. I’m very excited.”

This new change comes shortly after it was announced that Hector’s breakfast show would be taken over by Jennifer Maguire, Bernard O’Shea and Keith Walsh.

We have some bad news for George Clooney fans – the lovable actor has said “No” to Twitter.

Twitter-stalking celebrities is just as popular as Facebook-stalking your social circle, but unfortunately, we won’t be able to add the silver fox to our list of stalkees anytime soon.

Talking to Variety, the Monuments Men star said he wouldn’t have a Twitter account for fear of saying “something stupid” after a couple of drinks. He added: “I also don’t think you need to be that available.”

His revealed that his mates – Brad Pit and Matt Damon, no less – won’t be joining the social media site either.

The actor said: ”I don’t see Matt or Brad or myself wanting to get our thoughts out in a 140-character-thing at three in the morning. God forbid, you take a sleeping pill and wake up and the sentences don’t even make sense. What a horrible idea.”

Clooney has previously voiced his thoughts on the site, saying: “anyone who is famous is a moron if they’re on Twitter. It’s just stupid.”

Not sure the folks at Twitter will be pleased to hear this, George.

There are just some items of clothing that every girl should have and here they are:

Leggings
You can dress them up or down. They also never go out of fashion.

A tight blazer
A great way to make a statement without coming off as too serious.

Black pencil skirt
Whether it’s for an interview or a meeting, a pencil skirt is a must-have.

Ballet pumps
It doesn’t hurt to have a pair of emergency pumps in your handbag.

Red heels
You’re not a real woman until you own a pair of these.

White shirt
You can never go wrong with a white shirt

Gray trousers
For when you want to look smart without over doing it.

And for the days you just want to be yourself, a pair of comfy jeans never killed anyone!

Nothing like a tell-all book to get your ex back for cheating on you. Or so Brandi Glaville seems to think!

The star of reality show The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills has recently released her book, Drinking and Dating P.S. Social Media is ruining Romance. In the revealing book, Brandi makes the allegation that her ex-husband Eddie Cibrian left her with an STD.

Eddie and Brandi broke up in 2009 following his affair with country singer Leann Rimes, who he is now married to.

It doesn’t seem as if Brandi is over the breakdown of her marriage, as she also added: “It’s been five years now since I discovered my husband was sleeping with half of the women in Hollywood.”

Interior design changes and evolves with each passing decade – but which decades did it worst?

1. Victorian
So grand and vast, the rooms were huge, the colours rich and everything looks like it can’t be touched. Not that it isn’t pretty or impressive, but it’s not very practical these days is it?

2. 1970’s
The mustards, the browny-oranges, the weird shapes that took over everything? No, no and no.

1970's

3. Contemporary/2010’s
White and minimal. Where does all our stuff go? Homes look more like hospitals these days!

Taylor Swift has always been one to speak her mind and her interview with Glamour magazine is no different!

Speaking about stripping off, Taylor had some interesting things to say as to why she chooses not to: “I find it relatively easy to keep my clothes on … For me “risky” is revealing what really happened in my life through music.”

Taylor also addressed the self-control required to ignore negative articles on the internet: “I know when not to click on an article. Is it going to help my day? Is it important for my life? If the answer is no then I don’t click.”

1. Don’t worry, you’ll find someone eventually.
Will I now? Thanks so much for your input and belief in my love life, it means soooo much. They often don’t even recognise the sarcasm when you say this. Sigh.

2. There’s always sperm donors.
Why, will they go out with me?

3. What about that guy? Or how about that one?
Do you mean the one that looks like a serial killer or the one with the v-neck down to his bellybutton? Either way, we’ll pass.

4. How’s the love life?
This one is mostly heard at weddings or Christmas time and is usually uttered by older relatives who can’t seem to fathom the presence of a 26-year-old single woman.

5. You don’t need anyone.
We know.

Will Ferrell used his popularity and comic genius for good yesterday when he ran an “Ask me Anything” session on the social network Reddit.

The actor used the session to raise money for the charity Cancer for College which helps provide college scholarships for cancer survivors.

Some funny questions that came Ferrell’s way from fans and the public included, “What does Mark Whalberg smell like”? and “What was the craziest Hollywood party you’ve ever been to”?

One particularly good one was, “Is there any movie role, outside of comedy, that you wish you could have landed?” to which Ferrell wittingly answered: “Yes. It was down to me or Tobey Maguire for Spider-Man and they harshly told me I was too fat for the suit.”

Will was also asked about Pearl the landlady from the hilarious Funny or Die sketch which we have attached for you here because it never gets old.will_2
