The Internet has gone into meltdown since the discovery of this McDonalds employee and people have began seriously crushing on her. 

Weiwei is a McDonald's worker from Taiwan who people have described as basically looking like a living doll. 

One blog, RainDog, first noticed her and shared photographs of her online that quickly turned Weiwei into a viral sensation, which sounds a bit creepy. 

She is now getting her first taste of Internet fame as she enthusiastically performs the McDonald's Good Morning Song in a YouTube video. 

After these photos began to spread, men started to flock to the restaurant in which Weiwei works and the place has been flooded with people hoping to get a glimpse of her.  

Although you may find all of this a bit creepy, it seems it's working out for the best for Weiwei as she has recieved extra work because of it. She has been given a spot on game shows and now works as a model on the side too.

We are secretly delighted to hear the news that the Paleo diet may have been wrong all along about ditching the carbs. 

It's SO extremely difficult to lead a low-carb life as the diet advises, eating mainly just fruit, vegetables, meat, nuts and seeds. 

Many celebrities have been seen to swear by the Paleo diet including Matthew McConaughey and golfer Phil Mickelson. 

Although this diet has gained a lot of popularity over the passed few years, experts are now debating whether we need to include carbs in our diet or not.

A study carried out in the University of Chicago suggests that eating carbohydrates was vital for the acceleration of brain growth over millions of years, these carbohydrates include potatoes which the Paleo diet suggests you steer clear of. 

Several nutritionists have also joined the debate saying that although the Paleo diet helps people lose weight, it may not be the healthiest option. 

The Paleo diet is based around the diet of those living in the Paleolithic era. It's concerned with people eating the same diet as our hunter-gatherer ancestors would have eaten. 

Although this diet has been effective since being introduced, the study carried out says "“Eating meat may have kick-started the evolution of bigger brains, but cooked starchy foods together with more salivary amylase genes made us smarter still.”

According to this study, to truly eat Paleo, higher levels of carbohydrates are necessary. The explanation for this finding it that the brain uses 1/4 of the body's energy which is hard to meet on a low-carb diet. 

The study reports: “Up until now, there has been a heavy focus on the role of animal protein and cooking in the development of the human brain over the last 2 million years" 

"The importance of carbohydrate, particular in form of starch-rich plant foods, has been largely overlooked.”

The internet went mental over the weekend when rumour kicked-off that Jennifer Aniston's top-secret wedding dress had finally been revealed. 

Sadly however, it later emerged that the gown was not connected to the actress in any way – and that it had all been a big misunderstanding. 

Still, we shouldn't lose hope just yet – it seems that we may have indeed been given a sneak-peak of her wedding day attire before… on reality TV show, Say Yes To The Dress.

Say what, now!?

Yup, TMZ has done some stellar digging, and discovered an April airing of the hit show which reveals an awful lot. 

In it, a bride is seen trying on options in Manhattan's swish Kleinfeld boutique – eventually weighing-up the merits of a €7,600 gown from Mark Zunino. 

She initially feels the price-tag is too steep until, that is, an employee reveals: "I know the dress really well – I actually picked this dress for Jen Aniston to wear on her wedding day."

She adds: "In my head, this is Jennifer Aniston's dress."

The piece in question – a sweeping silk sheath gown  – is a classic, somewhat understated creation. 

It features a stunning deep illusion neckline and plunging back with buttons in silk crepe and lace, and has a chapel train and cap sleeves.

The gown is also an exclusive to the Chelsea bridal boutique. Indeed, the upmarket outlet is the exclusive stockist of pieces from the Mark Zunino bridal label, which was founded in 2011.

TMZ has now asked Kleinfeld for a comment, and the website says it is currently waiting to hear back. Mail Online approached the designer himself, to which a representative replied: "We can neither confirm nor deny that we designed the gown for Jennifer Aniston's special day.

"We can confirm that we did do sketches of wedding dress options for her."

Interestingly, LA-native Mr Zunino has already dressed Jen's BFF Courteney Cox for the red carpet.

Jennifer, 46, married actor Justin Theroux, 44, in a top-secret ceremony on August 5 at their €20m LA home. They have been together for four years, and engaged since August 2012.

In the past year, the beauty world has gone c-r-a-z-y for coconut oil – largely because it promises so many glorious things. 

Not only can you cook food with it, you can use it as a beauty product too – in fact, it is the wonder product of 2015, we reckon. 

That's why we got so excited to learn that one of our favourite coconut water companies, Vita Coco, is about to release an all-new coconut oil. Yipee!

The new oil is organic, 100 percent raw, extra-virgin and cold pressed, which means you will get the very best out of its ingredients. 

As the ultimate cooking ingredient, it can be used to make the healthiest of meals and, what's more, is that you only need a drop of it – so it lasts for ages. 

On the beauty side of the deal, it is the biggest secret in town, helping you to take care of everything from your skin to your hair and nails.

And ANOTHER benefit? It's the best natural energy supplements out there. If you feel sluggish throughout the day, mix a bit into your coffee or spread a bit on your toast and you will be just as active as a kid in a sweet shop – but without the nasty crash later in the day.

Oh, and it's thought to boost the immune system too.

To get your hands on the beauty wonder head to Tesco or Boots. Yay!

He's undeniably running a controversial campaign – and US presidential candidate Donald Trump raised eyebrows again today when it was revealed that he plans to eliminate J1 visas.

In a policy paper on immigration and published today on his official website, the billionaire Republican specified that he'd rather replace the popular programme with "a resume bank for inner city youth".

In short – he wants to help US-born young people rather than invite over Irish students.

Mr Trump is himself the son and grandson of Scottish and German immigrants and recently caused outrage when he called Mexicans "rapists" and criminals. He subsequently refused to retract his remarks.

He has extended his lead in the 2016 Republican nomination race and now boasts 24 percent support, according to official polls.

Some 8,000 Irish applications were processed this year by the US Embassy for the summer work programme.

Indeed, Ireland sends more students to the US on the J1 visa than any other country in the world.

The visa allows young people to work and live legally in the US for up for four months.

International superstar Iggy Azalea, has recently been the target of some vicious drug rumours after people spotted some marks on her hands in a paparazzi photograph.  

The Fancy singer landed in Australia to the news that the world of Twitter had quickly reacted to these rumours with many people accusing her of having a heroin addiction. 

The rapper has never backed down from denying untrue rumours in the past and this time was no different. She took to Twitter to set the record straight saying:

"Just landed in Australia and I am dying with laughter because nicks just showed me an article that says im a heroin addict. WHAT?! LOL."

She then went on to explain what those 'track' marks on her hands were "could be injecting heroin into my hands…. OR could just be scratches from @AleHerself's evil cat that attacked me the other week"

So Twittersphere, there's nothing to worry about here, Iggy is NOT a drug addict, she's simply been hanging out with an angry cat. 

But the rumour mill is not going to stop Iggy enjoying herself while down under. She posted a selfie with her fiance Nick Young, saying "Nick is having trouble adjusting, but I'm ready to go out #HiAustralia."

Here's the scenario: You are the world's ultimate foodie (in your own right) and you just so happen to win the lottery tomorrow. Of course you would tour the world to eat at the best restaurants and have the most extravagant dishes. What foodie wouldn't, after all. 

All you need is a plane ticket and ALL of your cash, because believe us, with the prices of these dishes, your money will be gone in no time.

Here is a list of the world's most expensive food:

 

The most expensive burgers

The most expensive burger in the world is from Serendipity 3, New York and sells for $295 (which is just under €270). It is made with white truffle butter-infused Japanese Wagyu beef, topped with James Montgomery cheddar cheese, black truffles and a fried quail egg.

It’s served on a gold-dusted roll spread with white truffle butter and topped with a blini, crème fraiche and caviar. If that isn't good enough, it is also served with a solid-gold tooth pick. 

 

The most expensive curry

The Samundari Khanzana (meaning seafood treasure), contains Devon crab, white truffle, Beluga caviar, gold leaf, a Scottish lobster coated in gold and four quail eggs.

It can be found in Bombay Brasserie, London and comes in at an astonishing £2,040, which is about €2,900. 

 

The most expensive dessert

We're back to Serendipity 3 in New York with the world's most expensive dessert. You won't believe the price of it – $25,000 (€23,000). Yep… We're lost for words too. The luxury desert is an ice cream sundae and contains a blend of 28 cocoas, including 14 of the most expensive in the world.

It is decorated with edible gold and served in a goblet lined with edible gold. Wow. And if that wasn't enough there is also a 18 carat gold bracelet for you at the bottom. 

 

The most expensive bagel 

This bagel would be a real breakfast treat. It is made with white truffle cream cheese, goji berry-infused riesling jelly and gold leaf. The bagel is available in The Westin New York and costs $1,000 (€905). 

 

The most expensive ham

The most expensive ham comes from The Food Hall in Selfridges, London. The 6.8kg ham costs £1,700 (€2,400). It comes from pigs that were only fed acorns and roots to give them a distinctive flavour.

The ham is then cured for three years before being put in a handmade wooden box with an apron handmade by a Spanish tailor. Fancy pants.

Taylor Swift has been making some serious headlines over the past few months as she travels the world with her 1980 tour. 

Night after night we have been bombarded with images of Taylor being joined on stage by her oh-so famous besties and we have started to wonder, how many besties can one gal have?

But for one on-looker, it just all got too much. She couldn't handle seeing or hearing about Taylor saying the words "Please welcome to the stage…" again.

So she decided to completely take the p*ss and film herself perfectly imitating Taylor's optimistic ignorance while introducing SO many people to the stage. 

As much as well love Taylor, it seems like the world she lives in might be a tad unrealistic full of besties and short-shorts. This girl has perfectly captured her positivity when introducing even the less-than-appropriate people to the stage. 

"Please welcome to the stage, the first woman ever, Eve! From Adam and Eve!" – Best line ever.

Last night saw girl band Little Mix appear on the Late Late show with James Corden as part of their American tour to promote their latest single, Black Magic. 

It is just a few weeks since Perrie Edwards was dumped by her fiance Zayn Malik, but she seemed in top form last night as she chatted to the television host. 

Although her relationship with the former One Direction member via text recently, Perrie was smiling brightly and seems to be in good form with the help of her fellow band mates. 

Perrie who is 22-years-old was lucky enough to get a big hug from the show host, James, as he wanted to make sure that she was ok. 

James asked her "are you ok? It's been a tough few weeks. Are you alright?" and smiling Perrie replied "You know what? I'm good. We're having an absolute blast in America."

"Things are going so well and I just wake up every day and I thank my lucky stars I have these three girls." 

Although Perrie is in the midst of heartache, Little Mix are still promoting their newest single which has remained at number 1 in the UK charts for three consecutive weeks. 

The band were also lucky enough to be invited to perform with Taylor Swift over the weekend at her show in Santa Clara, California. Leigh-Anne described the experience as "Incredible. Do you know what? She is the most loveliest person ever, she's so lovely."

We're four months away still – a full four months and a bit in fact (we just counted).

But that hasn't stopped one department store from getting into the spirit of things.

In fact, Brown Thomas in Dublin, Cork and Limerick are all unveiling their Christmas markets on Thursday – yes, that's August 20. 

Each store apparently has a "dedicated space," which has now been transformed into "a festive Christmas market – filled with Christmas trees and trim, beautiful decorations, crackers and festive food".

And the themes for this year’s BT markets (just so you're in the know) include Ice Palace; Venetian Winter; I Love Candy and Santa’s Journey.

Hmmm, we reckon we'll still probably end up doing most of our shopping at the last minute (circa December 23).

Ho, ho, ho!

One man in America has been dressing up as Batman and visiting sick children in hospital. However, the sad news has been announced that he has died following an accident with this 'batmobile'.

Lenny B. Robinson from Maryland had a custom Lamborghini which was modelled on the Batmobile and had a Batman symbol on the license plate. 

Last night Lenny was killed when his car broke down on the high way. The Washington Post reported that the 51-year-old was driving home when he experienced some engine trouble and he pulled over at around 10:30 pm. 

It is reported that he stopped "partially in the fast lane" and began to check the engine for any problems. At this time, another car hit the Batmobile, which in turn proceeded to strick Lenny who was standing in front of the car. 

The father-of-three was unfortunately pronounced dead at the scene and the other driver was left uninjured. 

Lenny has been extremely popular in the media in 2012 when people began to notice him visiting sick children in hospital dressed as the super hero. 

Scott Robinson is Lenny's older brother and he explained that he spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy his car, costume and the toys he brought to the children every time he visited. 

The everyday hero visited patients all over Maryland and Washington DC while bringing them bracelets with the Batman symbol on them. When speaking about his brother, Scott said: "He touched a lot of lives and made a lot of kids smile. That's all he wanted to do."
