In 2003, Finding Nemo introduced us to the much loved character of Dory.

The beloved blue fish with short-term memory loss was voiced by comedian and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres and since then she has been on a somewhat interesting campaign to convince Pixar to release a sequel.

This week at the D23 Expo in California, John Lasseter, Disney’s Creative Chief Officer made this point very clear when he showed crowds a super-cut of all of Ellen’s tireless pleas. He joked that he had eventually given in to the star’s requests and said “We are in production on Finding Dory.”

Speaking to People magazine about the news, Ellen said the film means an awful lot to her personally.

“She’s flawed,” she said of the animated fish, “I think that’s important for kids to grow up and see flawed characters that are loveable.”

She said that she thinks audiences, young and old should see how even though Dory makes “mistake after mistake”, she still has a very supportive group around her that “travel with and forgive her”.

In Finding Dory the plot is set to focus on Dory’s adventure as she tried to find her own family.

Ellen says that the film will reveal how this loss of family has taken a “toll” on Dory despite how she’s tried to act like “everything’s fine.”

The characters of Dory’s parents are to be voiced by Diane Keaton and Eugene Levy. While Modern Family start Ed O’Neil will take on the new character of an octopus and fellow Modern Family alum Ty Burrell will portray Bailey, a beluga whale.

We really cannot wait for this release!

A truly heart-warming picture has captured the attention of the country this week as brave Clodagh Cogley shared a photo of herself crossing the Golden Gate Bridge.

Clodagh, 21, was one of the students involved in the Berkeley tragedy earlier this summer.

The Milltown native has longed dreamed of crossing the San Francisco bridge and this week she and her dad managed to tick it off of her bucket list.

While at the rehabilitation facility in Santa Clara Valley, Clodagh made excellent progress and was able to return home to Ireland earlier than expected last week.

A Facebook page launched to help raise funds to ensure Clodagh’s home can be adapted to her needs now that she is in a wheelchair wrote an update for the public:

“We arrived back in Ireland on the August weekend and Clodagh is now settling in into the next phase of her rehabilitation. The staff in Dublin are also wonderful so it is really good to make such a smooth transition.”

Just a week after the tragedy, which left five Irish students and one Irish-American student dead, Clodagh took to social media to share an inspiring message.

Hey friends, just an update to let you guys know how I'm getting on (slowly catching up with the individual messages I…

Despite breaking her spinal cord, she said she intended to give her rehab “everything I’ve got.” While she acknowledged the chance of her using her legs again were “pretty bleak”.

In spite of her injuries and the tough road to recovery, Clodagh’s positive mind set is proving to be very inspiring for friends, family and the Irish people.

Three of the seven students injured in the accident in June, Aoife Beary, Niall Murray and Hannah Water are continuing to receive treatment for serious injuries they sustained in the accident.

Introducing a little bit more exercise into our lives can sometimes mean we end up a little short on time.

Stressing ourselves out running from place to place in a desperate bid to make it to the gym before they close can leave us feeling worse than when we spent all weekend on the couch with Netflix.

Rising at the crack of dawn to get to a Yoga class before the sun comes up is also not going to work for everyone. In efforts to help you decide whether a morning or evening workout is going to be better for you, we put together what makes morning and night workouts good for you.

Now all you have to do it decide if you want to set your alarm, or indulge in a mid-morning snooze.

Morning Workouts are better because:

The energy boost

Getting up early is hard, your bed is ultra-comfy, we understand. However, the exercise enduced endorphins from a morning workout can get you seriously pumped for your day ahead.

The routine

According to experts rising early for your workout will leave you more likely to stick with your fitness routine than if you choose the night time option.

You get it done

If you’re not altogether wild about actually exercising, then opting to hit the gym in the morning may be your best bet. That way it’s finished and out the way, so you’re less inclined to spend all day dreading it and end up not going.

Night workouts are loved because:

It relives stress

If you had a frustrating day, then something like kick boxing, or even some gentle yoga are going to help you work it out and get rid of all that negative energy after a long day.

You can work out for longer

In the morning you can end up rushing your trip to the gym or opting for a shorter run so you can get ready for any other plans you might have. At night you’ll have more free time, and if you wait until after peak hours the gym will generally be less crowded.

You are actually ready

Muscle function and strength apparently peak in the evening hours, according to experts, so you might actually be able to work out a little harder as you’re physically more prepared to exercise.

Kris Jenner is appearing on the cover of Haute Living New York this month.

While we thought that perhaps she and Scott Disick had managed to put behind them their tense relationship, it looks like his recent behaviour means Kris is not going to be welcoming him back into her family in the future.

The 59-year old reality TV mogul and manager has shared with the magazine her opinion on some of her famous family’s recent activities.

Speaking about daughter Kourtney, who is in the middle of a very public split from partner Scott Disick, Kris says she is incredibly proud of Kourt.

“She’s kind of my hero right now- she makes good decisions.” Kris said about the 36-year old’s separation from Scott after photos emerged of the former party boy looking far too cosy with an ex-girlfriend.

“She always puts her children first,” Kris continued, saying “This situation has made me realise how strong she is.”

Kourtney and Scott were together for 9 years and have three children together. Their relationship appears to have come to an end in recent weeks. In July Scott was spotted partying and cozying up with former flame Chloe Bartoli.

Hollywood Life reports however that since joining his children for a visit, Scott is eager to get back on the Kardashian clan’s good side. Apparently, he even “wants Kris present when he and Kourtney have future meetings so she can help play mediator.”

Somehow, we can’t imagine Kris is going to be inclined to let Scott get away with anything.

The Saturdays singer Frankie Bridge, 26, gave birth to a boy at four minutes past midnight this morning.

Already parents to a 21-month-old son named Parker, her footballer husband Wayne, 35, was again by her side this time.

And the duo have already revealed the name of the new arrival: Carter.

Ms Bridge is evidently feeling well and happy too: she's already back on social media – and this morning took to Twitter to say, "our gorgeous baby boy Carter Bridge was born this morning.

"He is absolutely perfect – Parker is so excited to be a big brother!"

Former professional footballer Wayne, who retired from the game last summer, and Frankie married in July of last year.

Unusually for pop-star/footballer nuptials, the couple kept their Big Day completely private. In fact, it was three months before snaps of their wedding emerged – via her Instagram account.

In a handful of posts, she described the ceremony and celebration, which was held at the lavish Woburn Abbey in Bedfordshire, as "amazing," and made "even better," by the presence of their son.

They dated for four years before tying the knot.

This break up just seems to be fuelling more and more drama.

Since Zayn Malik and Perrie Edwards called it quits on their engagement, which Zayn is rumoured to have done via text, there have been countless rumours about the pair circulating.

While Zayn has kept relatively quiet on the topic, more interesting in supporting minions around the world it seems, Perrie’s friends are not afraid to let their feelings be known.

Her Little Mix bandmates have made it quite clear that they are not exactly Zayn’s number one fans at the moment.

Earlier this week a “Zayn is irrelevant anyway,” sign appeared with some fans outside a meet-and-greet for the band.

Rather than opt to ignore it, band member Jade decided to take it home with her.

Then on Wednesday, the band was performing their latest single Black Magic when a fan caught a very interesting moment on video.

After the line “just to help him see what he’s been missin’”, Jesy points to Perrie.

Naturally, their fans were quite excited.

Not entirely surprising considering since the news of the break up has come out, Perrie’s bandmates have been showing their support for their friend any time they step out in public.

In the first interview where their split was mentioned, her band mates saved her from an awkward conversation saying they weren’t going to talk about the issue.

The reason behind the beak up is still unknown, although there has been plenty of speculation. Us Weekly reported a source as saying: “He just wanted to move on and start over in all ways.”

Sharon Stone is certainly not afraid to bare it all on the latest cover of Harper’s Bazaar magazine.

The 57-year old Basic Instinct actress has gone completely nude, except for a fabulous pair of Jimmy Choos along with jewellery from Tiffany & Co.

In the interview with the magazine Sharon talks about her preference for using fillers rather than go under the knife.

She explains that after she suffered a stroke in 2001, she uses the fillers on her face as part of the area was left damaged. Sharon spent nine days in an intensive care unit after the stroke.

Following her release she said that it took her two years to recover her ability to speak and walk as she used to. Speaking about using the fillers Sharon said:

“It’s so common now for people to use fillers, it’s almost like a beauty treatment… It’s a far better alternative to having your face cut apart and looking like you got sucked into a wind tunnel.”

She also talked in-depth about her struggle to return to full health after her stroke.

Her doctors had diagnosed her with a ruptured vertebral artery and she recalls how the stroke changed her entire life.

“My brain isn’t sitting where it used to, my body type changed, even my food allergies are different.”

Her speech was also affected and she worked with a speech therapist to correct a stutter which she had developed. She says that the ordeal was difficult but left “more emotionally intelligent.” During her recovery her marriage to journalist Phil Bronstein broke down and the pair divorced in 2004. She also lost custody of their adopted, then 8-year old son, Roan to Phil. 

Since then she says that she is getting her life back in track, but she feel her love life is a little lacklustre, she tells the magazine: 

"I don't think men realize that I'm flirting. They just think, Oh, she's fun!" She wonders, apparently;  "Do you think people even realise I'm straight? I think they have questions about it because I have so many lesbian friends right now."

​Reddit has been responsible for some pretty interesting, and amazing things, as well as some other questionable events but we won’t dwell on those.

However, it is where That Nordic Guy, a digital artist, and his incredible work was first appreciated.

Since then, Buzzfeed have also caught on to his genius and over the past number of days we have been overwhelmed by an awful lot beauty taking over the internet. For example, Game of Thrones actress Natalie Dormer and Emma Watson.

That Nordic Guy is responsible for digitally altering the faces of some of our favourite, and most genetically blessed celebs. In doing so, he morphs their features to somehow make them even more beautiful than you imagined.

We know it sounds pretty creepy, and the internet it flooded with ridiculous celebrity memes and face swapping trends. These however are entirely different. They are actually quite stunning.

According to the man himself, he started doing this work when he needed original characters to put faces to the names of those he had created for a short story.

Five years later, and we are still in awe of these images. Seriously, you have to take a look. We think you will be quite impressed.

This one even moves:

Angelina Jolie and Megan Fox:

Taylor Swift and Emma Watson:

Colin Farrell and The Terminator even got combined:

And all of the Hemsworths, basically:

Our minds are blown.

Michelle Keegan and husband Mark Wright are definitely dedicated to their fitness regimes, they have plenty of Instagram snaps to prove it too.

While the pair have been spending time in the U.S recently, they managed to commit to their gruelling workout schedule. Despite being busy in LA for a week of exciting business meetings, Michelle took the time to share a video of Mark out for a jog in the scorching California sun.

Wisely opting to accompany her husband of almost three months by bike, Michelle looked pretty pleased with herself.

After their week in the sun, the pair jetted off to the East Coast to spend some time with Mark’s family.

The duo enjoyed a romantic picnic for two in NYC’s Central Park. Posing for a sunny snap the two twosome could be seen conveniently located beneath the ‘Essex House’ building. We imagine this was much to Essex native Mark’s delight.

Meanwhile Michelle was finding her inner zen as she took some time to practice her yoga poses.

 

A video posted by michkeegan (@michkeegan) on

In her latest blog post for Hello! Michelle kept her fans in the loop about the genetically blessed pair’s American adventures.

She said the pair had been invited to stay at Mark’s uncle’s house in The Hamptons, and she was very excited to get to visit the picturesque location.

She recalled how her favourite TV series Sex and the City had an episode where Carrie and co. hopped on the Hamptons Jitney for a girls weekend.

Michelle wrote, “It’s a very relaxing and friendly place,” and they spent most of their time on the beach.

The pair were also keen to keep with their fitness schedule while relaxing too it seems:

“Every morning we borrowed some bikes and did a 5km bike round the village (basically for a nosey at some of the huge houses here!)”

She said that after the “pace of LA” The Hamptons was the “perfect wind-down week”.

We’re only a little bit jealous, honestly.

The latest instalment of the hugely popular Hunger Games film series has been much anticipated.

So naturally there’s a lot of promotional work being done in the lead up to the release.

However, it looks like someone may have made a bit of a boo-boo when it came to double, or possibly even triple checking the newest poster to be released for fan consumption.

And when we say ‘bit’ of a mistake, we actually mean a huge mistake.

The spelling error could have possibly been laughed off (which we doubt), except the unique print scenario has given the poster a very NSFW rating.

Considering the rapid-fire nature of social media these days, it wasn’t long before people online caught wind of the error.

While some mistakes can be rectified, considering the amount of screenshots of this going around already, it seems like it could be too little too late. We understand, sometimes mistakes just happen. This was just one very, very unfortunate incident.

Something tells us that someone somewhere is not having such a great day at the office.

Amy Schumer is apparently making the most of her time here in Ireland.

The Trainwreck star was spotted out and about with the film’s director Judd Apatow and a certain musical star.

 

Amy and Judd joined forces with Glen Hansard in Grogans pub on Castle Street in Dublin to experience one of our nation’s favourite past times. A sing-song.

The tunes covered include The Aul Triangle, always a classic. That is not all thought, because from the looks of things the trio may just have crashed a wedding while out on their jaunt.

Last night Amy and Judd were at the O’Reilly Theatre in Dublin for a Q&A with Panti Bliss. While there, Amy admitted her adoration for Irish comedian Meave Higgins.

"Maeve Higgins, I'm sorry, but we're keeping her," she said. "And we'll send her back for holidays."

Tonight the stars will be at Dublin’s Savoy Cinema for the Irish premiere of the film, if you don’t think you’ll be able to catch a glimpse of Amy then make sure you watch this clip from yesterday’s antics. It is amazing.

Sing along with celeb friends
