We feel a little ill even thinking about this – but apparently you can now buy a colossal, mind-boggling 32in pizza in Dublin.

Being dubbed Ireland's biggest pizza (and we believe them), Pinheads Pizza on South Circular Road is seemingly doing a roaring trade.

Ordinarily setting you back €32, if you can polish it all off – along with two of the establishment's milkshakes – you'll be given your dinner for free, as well as a spot on their wall of fame.

"As part of a recent revamp of our store, we decided to come up with some new ideas which included the creation of the Biggest Pizza in Ireland," their website states.

Sadly, at the moment Pinheads don't deliver – they say they simply haven't designed a big enough box yet – but if you're in the area, would YOU be up for the challenge?

On Monday, Angels Among Us, a non-profit animal shelter in the U.S shared a photo on their Facebook and we have been feeling all of the feelings ever since. Angels Among Us specialise in rescuing animals from high-kill shelters and finding them permanent homes. 

Just hours away from being put down, two dogs, Kala and Keira were photographed in their pen hugging. The post also included a cry for help for the two pups who had just 2 hours left before they would be euthanized.

FREEDOM RIDE POSTED HERE:https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10153190881532912&substory_index=0&id=271191497911…

Posted by Angels Among Us Pet Rescue on Monday, 20 July 2015

The original post was told from the dog’s perspective and clearly touched many people.

“If no one saves us, someone will take her away from me. I'll see her as she goes down the hallway. She won't come back and I'll cry. They'll come for me next and I won't be as brave. We've comforted each other while we were here. She gave me hope when I had none. Now it's over. Unless…”

We’re not crying, there’s just something in our eyes. Honestly.

The photograph went viral almost immediately and to date has almost 20,000 likes and over 10,000 shares.

All the attention worked because just two hours after the post went online, both Kala and Keira were adopted by a new owner.

THEY ARE SAFE!!! There are no words to tell you how happy we are that these two best friends are safe and together! …

Angels Among Us were quick to update the public on the status of the pooches with a new photograph that included their new owner, and they look so happy.

“THEY ARE SAFE!!! There are no words to tell you how happy we are that these two best friends are safe and together! Thank you for your shares, donations and offers! Just look at these two!!! This is why we rescue.”

Proof that hugs can change your life. Excuse us while we try and get control of our emotions.

Amy Huberman is definitely an inspiration for a lot of Irish women when it comes to practical, stylish dressing, and she proved that again this week when a jacket she wore in an Instagram photo sold out in record time.

The actress and model posted a snap earlier this week showing her wearing a suede biker jacket from luxury brand Mint Velvet as she cycled around the garden on a kid’s bike.

 

Testing out my new biker jacket, thank you @mintvelvet #elevate #mintyfresh

"Testing out my new biker jacket, thank you @mintvelvet #elevate #mintyfresh," Amy wrote alongside the funny snap. For the mum of two, it was just a standard jokey photo, but for Mint Velvet it turned out to be a pretty lucrative post indeed.

The Dove Suede Biker Jacket, which retails at €180, sold out online and in stores across Ireland and the UK within 48 hours of Amy posting the picture, thanks to the buying habits of her 51.5k followers on the picture-sharing site. A spokesperson for the brand said they were delighted to see the mum-of-two sporting one of their pieces. 

"Amy is the epitome of a Mint Velvet shopper – relaxed glamour and a strong sense of self," they said.

While she rarely obviously endorses brands or products via social media, Amy generally does credit designers and stylists on her outfit posts, and often gives further details in the comments section if anyone asks:

Two weeks ago at Wimbledon, contemporary womenswear designer Zoe Jordan got a double whammy of promotion after Amy wore (and credited) her outfits on two separate days.

If you’re keen to get your hands on the same Mint Velvet jacket, you’re out of luck, although the label have promised there will be a similar one available in their new AW15 collection.

They won praise for continuing to share a home in the aftermath of their shock split – and it seems that Bennifer plan to live together when they move back to California too.

Indeed, the actors will reportedly rent Brooke Shields’s sprawling LA home once they leave Atlanta, where she is currently filming Miracles From Heaven.

Last month, Ben, 42, and Jennifer, 43, announced that they planned to divorce after a decade of marriage.

However, they continue to live together for the sake of three children: Violet, nine, Seraphina, six, and Samuel, three.

And while the duo already own a €16m property in the exclusive Pacific Palisades neighbourhood in west LA, they are having major construction work carried out and it won’t be ready by the time Miracles From Heaven wraps.

Meaning they are delighted to have secured Ms Sheilds’s 500sq metre, five-bed abode, which is located in the same area. Rent is believed to be set at a cool €27,500 a month.

Construction on their own house has also been delayed – seemingly in light of their changing domestic set-up.

It is believed that the pair have more recently added in a separate living dwelling for Ben on the grounds of the main house – where Jen and the children will reside.

Sources confirmed to Page Six that Mr Affleck will “remain with his family on this new property”.

Shortly after their split was made public last month, the entire Affleck-Garner clan went to the Bahamas for a holiday away from the headlines.

And last weekend, Ben was spotted holding an adorable golden retriever pup, which sources say the family rescued while in Atlanta.

In his new film Southpaw, Jake Gyllenhaal plays a star fighter Billy Hope. Jake underwent months of incredibly intense training to transform himself for the role.

However, there’s another transformation he underwent which didn’t appear to require as much effort on Jake’s part.

The 34-year old plays a character who is fighting to redeem himself not just in the sporting world, but in the eyes of his young daughter.

Oona Laurence, who plays his daughter in the film, has been credited by Jake as one of the reasons he is very excited to become a dad.

Speaking with Entertainment Tonight, Jake said: “when I meet Oona for the first time, I just fell for her.” He added that "your heart opens up to her." Sounds like someone’s biological clock might be ticking.

Jake admitted that he “deeply” loves children, including his nieces and he thinks becoming a dad is something he would be “lucky” to experience.

"I am not a father yet, but it is definitely a dream of mine.”

While he can add fictional dad to his CV, Jake said he “would love for it to not be fictional.”

He added that he does find some of the ladies he works opposite to be “hugely intoxicating”. Despite that, he has denied rumours that he and his Southpaw co-star Rachel McAdams are an item.

Meaning, he is currently single, and apparently looking for someone he can start a family with.

We imagine he won’t be short of any number of offers once people get a look at his new physique in Southpaw which will be in cinemas on July 24.

It’s hard to believe that it was three summers ago that all we could talk about was the thrilling summer read, Gone Girl.

And for a refreshing change, the movie was almost as good as the book. This was in no small part thanks to the stellar cast and the brilliant direction from David Fincher.

While author of the novel, Gillian Flynn, has remained sceptical on whether or not she may get down to writing a sequel, we do have one ally on our side – none other than Charlize Theron.

The Oscar-winning actress stars in another on-screen adaption of Ms Flynn’s, Dark Places. And it appears that Charlize is as eager as to try and get Gillian to write the next instalment of Gone Girl as we are.

In an interview with E!, the Mad Max: Fury Road star joined reporter Marc Malkin in attempting to woo the author into telling us what happens next to Amy and Nick Dunne.

“Come on,” Charlize urges. “You have to.”

To which Ms Flynn replied, “I don’t know if I can go back to the Dunnes quite yet – those diabolical Dunnes. I think about it every once in a while… I do. It’s hard to shake sometimes.”

Well, at least that didn’t rule anything out!

Thakfully Charlize had a fool-proof plan (hmmm) which she revealed. “I’ll get her drunk tonight and make her sign a contract,” the 39-year-old proposed.

Although it doesn’t look like anything is going to be in the works anytime soon, Gillian has said that she wouldn’t rule out a second film in the future if she could get David Fincher, Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike back on board.

Twink, real name Adele King has revealed her emotional distress at having to give up her south Dublin home due to financial strain.

The 64-year old former panto queen has revealed that she think it is inevitable that she will lose her family home. The house on Idrone Avenue in Knocklyon, Dublin is a Georgian home which she says she may have to leave in order to move into a more manageable property.

She told the Brendan O’Connor on his radio show: "Short of winning the lotto… I mean, don’t get used to me not being in the papers about it because I always will be.  It’s a cross around my neck."

She explained that the house was never actually hers, “you never own a big Georgian house like that, you’re the custodian of it.”

Despite that she certainly feels attached to the property and was overcome with emotion speaking about the prospect of giving it up.

“I put my life, soul, heart, money, earnings, everything into that house.  It was the home I bought my children up in, was married to David in," she revealed.

While she says that she is working hard to try and keep the house, the entertainer admits that it would be almost impossible to remain in her home.

"The banks are the banks, they’re owed money, they’re owed money.  That’s not their problem, that’s my problem," she told the radio presenter.

It seems that her start-up baking business just won’t be enough to allow her to remain custodian of the house.

She confessed she is “working all the hours God gave me” to keep herself out of debt, but she can’t envision herself earning enough to cover her costs.

“I can’t even talk about it – break my heart, break my heart."

The Mirror reports that the bank is seeking to repossess the home with papers filed with the courts showing that as of two years ago the bank was owed €244,000 at that time.

Harry Judd, the drummer of McFly and McBusted has just revealed that he and his wife are expecting their first child.

The gorgeous 29-year-old took to Instagram to share the news. In the photo, Harry is smiling along with his wife Izzy who is holding her tiny baby bump.

“Izzy and I are so happy and feel truly blessed to be able to share with you that we are expecting our very own little miracle #BabyJudd” the musican wrote.

It is no huge surprise that the couple are starting a family as it was only a few months ago that Mr Judd revealed to OK! magazine that he wanted to have kids at some point in the future.

“It’s not like we’re planning,” the star admitted. “But we want kids one day. We don’t really know. I still feel quite young. But I want kids more than anything, one day.”

Harry isn’t the first member of the McBusted team to start a family. Tom Fletcher has just celebrated his son Buzz’s first birthday.

It's only a couple of weeks until Kylie Jenner turns 18, but the teenage reality star is already taking the first steps into adult life.

Last night on Twitter the 17-year-old revealed that she had just left behind a big part of her childhood – her schooling. While you'd be forgiven for thinking Kylie had dropped out of education long ago considering she rarely refers to school or class on her various social media platforms, the truth is that Kylie has been homeschooled and has been steadily working towards a high school diploma.

With her high school years finally completed, the youngest Jenner took to to Twitter to celebrate. "Today, for the first time, I am very excited about tomorrow for no damn reason. Just that I'm alive & I have a wonderful life to be lived," she wrote last night.

"Oh AND.. I finished school last week.. & I know I never post on social media when I'm in class but that doesn't mean…I don't encourage education! Because I do! gooooodnight." 

While Kylie herself has generally kept quiet about that more sedate part of her life, her big sister Kim has proudly spoken out about it in previous interviews. "She goes to school. She’s homeschooled," Kim told Access Hollywood in May.

"She has a year left… She goes to school every single day. Perception can be reality and people assume maybe she’s not in school because she’s not posting about being in school all the time," the expectant mum said.

We're not so sure about the "year left" comment, seeing as that interview was only two months ago, but all the same we're delighted for Kylie. Roll on the summer!

Over the last few days the folks at TG4 managed to stir up some controversy when they tweeted an interesting ad for ladies football.

The image is one of a female GAA player holding a football to her body that makes it appear that she is pregnant.

In the two days since it was first posted by the TG4 account there has been a massive response on Twitter and divided opinion on the endorsement of the upcoming game.

The text accompanying the image reads: “The most important nine months of a woman’s life.”

The ad has made its way in front of the public and has not been removed from the account despite the controversy surrounding it.

Many people online are unimpressed with how the ad represents the sport. Some are calling it “disgraceful” while others are not happy with women being reduced to “baby making machines”.

Speaking to TodayFM spokesperson for the Ladies Gaelic Football Association Derek Kinnevey said that the ad was never supposed to be released as it had been rejected in 2009. However they are looking at the publicity it has generated in a positive light. The hope is that the ad will “translate into focus on the field”.

According to Derek, the poster was "never meant to be seen by the public," though he added that "there’s no point in hiding from it now. It has generated a huge amount of discussion around ladies’ football and womens’ sports.”

The DailyEdge.ie reports that “this particular image was one of the ones that didn’t make the cut,” while the Ladies Gaelic Football Association also added they have a good relationship with TG4.

Many online commentators have noted how the ad has certainly generated conversation surrounding women’s sports but by drawing attention to motherhood they are reinforcing gender stereotypes.

As of yet TG4 have not commented on the ad’s appearance on social media or the debate surrounding the image online. 

Dublin player Sinéad Finnegan is one of those in support of the ad and has retweeted the ad on her own account. 

 What do you think of the ad? Should it be removed?

Tyler Shelton has video blogged every single day of his twenties, so when it came time to propose to his girlfriend Haylee Rose, he knew it had to be pretty special.

While the proposal itself, which took place on a beautiful cobbled street in Rome, is pretty special, it's the days and weeks leading up to it that really had us tearing up.

Haylee's father Greg passed away last April, long before Tyler ever had the chance to ask for his daughter's hand in marriage. Instead, he asks each of Haylee's three siblings for their individual blessings, and dedicates the whole proposal to Greg himself.

"Dear Greg," he wrotes in the touching video. "I'm going to marry your daughter. I always thought of how I was going to ask for your blessing one day, and now that day is here. I wish you were here to hand your baby girl off to me, so I promise to be more than you would ever want me to be." 

He continues: "I want to be the man who shares her love and patience and gives her everything she needs. I'll tell her exactly how beautiful she is, and I'll show her how to believe in herself. I will take care of her. I want to give her experiences people only dream of, and love her unconditionally, because I wouldn't want to see the world with anybody else." 

Prepare to shed a few tears watching this…

He’s been retired from the game for more than a year, but Brian O’Driscoll continues to rake in the cash.

In fact, accumulated profits at his main firm soared by €100,000 to more than €3.6m last year – the same year he was saying goodbye to Leinster and Ireland fans.

In 2013, profits at ODM & Promotions had increased by €340,000.

Brian’s second autobiography, The Test, was released last November just in time for the Christmas rush.

The 36-year-old rugby legend also works as a presenter and pundit for Newstalk and BT Sport, and has lucrative deals with HSBC and Lexus, although much of his mega-earnings come from savvy investments.

Through a government-incentive for retired athletes, the Dubliner can also claim back 40 percent tax on his gross earnings from sports activity for the next ten years.

He set up his firm back in 2001 when he was still just 22. At the time, Brian had just months previously scored an incredible hat-trick of tries in Paris – a performance which understandably catapulted him into the public consciousness.

In the same year, he also joined the Lions squad for the first time for the team’s tour of Australia.

Mr O’Driscoll has been married to actress and author Amy Huberman for five years and they have two children: two-and-a-half year old Sadie, and Billy, who was born in November. They live in a €1m home in Goatstown in south Dublin, a property they bought back in 2005.

Meanwhile, Johnny Sexton, 30, is doing well too: new accounts show a record year for JAS Management and Promotions Ltd, with accumulated profits soaring by €385,000 to €861,250.

He is married to his childhood sweetheart, teacher Laura Priestley, and they have one son, Luca, who celebrated his first birthday last month.
