You may have heard that tomorrow will be very special day for teenagers up and down the country tomorrow.

The second Wednesday in August can send some school leavers into a state of despair at the mere thought. Parents have also been known to get a bit tetchy around this time of year as well.

A quick gander through the hashtag #LeavingCert on Irish twitter today proves that is very much true today as exam students shared their dread with the world.

We gathered up some of the best from today and you can be sure tomorrow will have plenty of gems too.

Plenty of messages have been shared on social media to remind students that tomorrow’s results aren’t going to determine their entire future.

More people have taken to twitter to reminisce about their results day memories. Plenty of students have also been letting us know they intend to celebrate (or commiserate) tomorrow.

Surely it won't be that bad?

Ah yes, we know the feeling well.

Bit harsh, no?

Some people have been counting down the days….

We're not sure we were that enthusiastic to get a hold of the mysterious brown envelope…

Ah here.

One thing that we know for sure, there’s going to be candles light across the length and breadth of the country tonight in preparation for the big day.

Never a dull moment in the Jolie-Pitt household!

Angelina has been announced as the executive producer for an upcoming animated film called The Breadwinner.

Variety reports that the film will be produced by Angie’s production company Jolie Pas Productions.

The film will be directed by Nora Towme, who previously co-directed The Secret of Kells, and is based on Deborah Ellis’ young adult novel. It follows the story of a young girl living under the Taliban regime in Afghanistan.

Parvana must disguise herself as a boy in order to become the breadwinner for her family as her father was wrongly imprisoned.

Speaking about the project Angelina said:

“I am delighted to be working with a talented team of artists who I know will do justice to the richness, creativity and strength of Afghan culture and to little girls like Parvana.”

She noted that millions of young women like Parvana are “growing up today under oppression or conflict, and helping their families to survive in those conditions.”

 

 

 

 

 

The project is currently casting and in pre-production with the Cartoon Saloon team from Kilkenny already working on animation for the film.

He is one of Hollywood’s finest and most bearded men but back in the day Henry Cavill is revealing how he had a tough time at school.

Star of The Man From U.N.C.L.E has confessed that when he was a teenager he suffered from serious bullying as a result of having spare “rolls”.

Speaking with Men’s Fitness magazine, Henry, 32, has said that he was referred to as a “lemon” by his bullies.

“A guy who gets nowhere with girls”, he explained.

He says that his bullying reached it’s peak when he moved to a prestigious public school in Britain called Stowe, where the Daily Mail reports, fees can be close to €13,000 a year.

'They used to call me Fat Cavill,' Henry, who was then 13-years old said. From the beginning of his time at the school he felt like an outcast and would not be able to speak with his parents on the phone without breaking down.

The now buff leading man is considered by many on Hollywood to possess the most impressive body in the business. Henry himself though still says he is an “indulger” and struggles with keeping himself away from treats at times.

In the past he has spoken with Event magazine about he struggled with his body image as a youngster. He says that while he was never very weak physically, the daunting would eat at him emotionally:

“I could have stood up for myself in that department. It was name-calling, and kids do that. So I comfort ate.”

In the interview with Men’s Fitness Henry also talked about his most awkward moment yet as an actor.

In a scene for The Tudors he explained that he may have been a little too in the moment:

“I hadn’t rearranged my – stuff into a harmless position. She’s basically rubbing herself all over me and, um, it got a bit hard."

Totes awks, Henry.

In case you haven’t noticed recently, bloggers are having a bit of a moment.

They are everywhere, from Instagram to Facebook we are practically inundated with fashion and beauty advice. While some of us love the chance to get some advice or a review of a new cult product, others are not such big fans.

This weekend one Dublin girl had decided that enough was enough

She wrote in a post:

“Hey you guys. I've spent the last 24 hours watching bloggers, vloggers and everything in between. I actually don't know how they take themselves so seriously.”

She decided to add her contribution to the world of beauty bloggers. The result was pretty hilarious.

Since she posted her video, it’s been viewed almost half a million times, and she’s uploaded a second one since.

Hey you guuuuuuys, we found our new favourite blogger.

The absolute irony of the video’s now viral status is that the amount of views and shares her post has are the kind that fashion bloggers spend their time fantasising about.

Hey you guys. I've spent the last 24 hours watching bloggers, vloggers and everything in between. I actually don't know how they take themselves so seriously

In case you haven’t heard the news, Kim Kardashian is pregnant with her second child.

Her pregnancy has so far, been documented by many eagle-eyed celeb watchers since she confirmed the news. Naturally, this has led to there being some less than pleasant comments about the reality TV star on social media.

 

Banger sisters

A photo posted by Kim Kardashian West (@kimkardashian) on

This weekend Kim and her sisters donned some very interesting outfits for a photoshoot. He skin-tight PVC dress raised speculation about her supposedly ‘missing’ baby bump.

One Instagram user commented on her photo saying: “Did her preggo bump disappear or is ti just me??”

Enough is enough for Kim and she has decided to shut down her haters in the most Kim Kardashian stye possible: a selfie.

Also of note, she appears to be completely naked in said selfie.

Obviously keen to shut down the rumours that have been circulating about whether she is actually pregnant or not, Kim addressed the gossip head on.

“I’m blessed to even be pregnant & even luckier to not have preeclampsia,” the 32-year old wife of Kanye West wrote.

She informed her 42.3 million followers that they would know if she had gone the surrogacy route as she would have documented the whole experience.

Keen to quiet any body-shamers targeting her, Kim noted that she has “learned to love my body at every stage” of her pregnancy.

One young couple are taking the term ‘sparks were flying’ to a whole new level.

Lexie Varga and Dylan Corliss were walking down the road when they were caught in one of the severe thunderstorms that passed through the California area last week.

It wasn’t until a passer-by stopped the duo to tell them what had happened that they realised they had actually been hit by lightning.

The two suffered from only minor injuries after the freak accident. Speaking to KCAL, Dylan explained what happened during the strike:

“It was more of just kind of shove, you know, and it felt kind of like I was getting hit over the head with metal or something.”

Lexie said she thought that the force they felt was due to an earthquake, rather than the one in a million chance of being struck by lightning. She didn't seem to be all that concerned after the incident, even telling her mom they wouldn't need to see a doctor as they both felt fine.

Dr. Stefan Reynoso who treated the pair after the incident occurred said it was because the two were holding hands that they didn’t suffer more serious injuries.

“These two were lucky that they were holding hands. It helped to diffuse the electrical current that ran through their bodies.”

 The couple are now joking that they have an “electric love”.

Four years ago Perrie Edwards and Zayn Malik were a happy young couple. They got engaged and were rumoured to be looking for an incredibly luxurious house to start their married life together.

Then the news came that Zayn had reportedly dumped the Little Mix star (possibly via text), and Little Mix fans were less than impressed.

Not only have her fans been showing Perrie some serious support on social media since word of the split reached the public’s attention. Her bandmates have also been by her side since the news broke.

Now it seems that their supportive acts can also include serving Zayn with some serious shade.

When a fan made sign appeared outside a Little Mix press event, the girls weren’t afraid to take matters into their own hands.

The sign, which read “Zayn is irrelevant anyway” popped up on social media in the hands of band member Jade.

Apparently she was also overheard telling a fan that the statement was “true”. One fan says that the other side of the sign read “Stay strong Perrie”.

Some Zayn fans however were not pleased with Jade and the Little Mix crew expressing their opinions on the former 1D member. 

This comes just days after it was reported that over the weekend Perrie had removed any sign of Zayn and their relationship from her Instagram account.

​Zayn meanwhile has been keeping active on social media. The former boy band member sent Twitter into a frenzy when it was discovered he had favorited a tweet from Kylie Jenner.

He then made an appearance at the newly-turned 18-year old’s birthday party over the weekend.

We have seen a lot of bizarre inventions in recent years, but this probably takes the top spot.

If you thought the Face Trainer was the weirdest beauty product around, then you need to take a look at this gadget.

From the same place that brought us the Face Trainer, the Breast Gymnastics Hand Massager is here to solve any of your saggy boob woes. Seriously, this is an actual invention, and yes it is shaped like a hand.

It is a sad fact of life that eventually everything starts to droop at some stage, but this invention from the Japan Trend Shop, is hoping to help you defy gravity for a long as possible.

Being called “your personal breast sculptor” it claims to “shape and tone your breast into a better form.”

Which, to be honest, sounds very appealing. The downside is, it is essentially a giant plastic hand. A pink hand, but a hand shaped device nonetheless. A touch creepy?

We are wondering why we should buy one of these when we have two hands of our own. Apparently though, the gymnast breast massager can “reach places that your hands just can’t.”

Can it apply flawless tan to our upper back as well or is that asking too much?

The product description goes on: “Normally a woman doesn’t want a hand on her breasts like this uninvited… but with this helping ‘hand’ you can separate them and return your breasts to their normal buoyant beauty.”

The massager is the invention of celebrity midwife Takiko Shindo who has been famed in the past for her ‘legendary breast gymnastics’.

Also, consider this: the Breast Massager has been "modeled on Takiko Shindo's actual hand, so you really are getting a personal massage from her."

It's been almost two years since loud-mouthed lass Sophie Kasaei quit MTV's Geordie Shore, but she says she doesn't regret a thing.

Sophie says she's much more in control of her life nowadays. "When you're on Geordie Shore you're in there for six weeks, you're partying every night, you're not going to the gym, you're very controlled by the producers… Now I do go to they gym around two or three times a week," she explained to S! TV.

The 25-year-old says she's no longer a "fat slob" and she's loving her busy new schedule. And with her own clothing boutique, beauty salon and party planning companies on the go, we reckon she barely has time to stop.

Sophie was in Dublin recently to give her support to Flutterby Fashion Styling's fashion show in aid of Fibromyalgia and FibroIreland, put together by stylists Nicole and Shauna Spain. Check out her interview and more backstage fun from the show in the video above.

Have you ever been so fed up or so far behind with a module in college that with a few drinks in you, you wanted to mail your lecturer and complain? Well this guy did just that. 

One student, Patrick Davidson, was clearly out for a heavy night on the beer and decided he had no other option but to email his lecturer to ask for an extension on his work. 

It would be expected that in this case, the lecturer would do the exact opposite of grant him the extension and possibly dock marks for the drunks rant, but nope, he got extremely lucky. 

The email got off to a questionable start when Patrick wrote: "Mr Martin. Just letting u kno that u r a motherf*kn g and I'm sorry that u r bald. Lol" 

He then went on to offer him some help for his lack of hair saying "If you want I get hook you up with a girl that can get your hair back", before getting to the point and asking for an extension on his assignment because he would be "sick af tomorrow."

And to our surprise, and probably his too, Mr Martin was completely cool about it which officially makes him the most laid-back lecturer around. 

He replied by giving him an extension without question and thanking him for his concern about his bald head saying "My wife likes it and I don't get paid enough to get implants."

"On a side note… What were you drinking last night? Next time you email me id like a bottle of whatever you had so I don'thaev to remember what you said. "

Have you ever watched a horde of runners fly by and wondered how on earth do they do it?

Long-distance running can be as much of mental challenge as a physical one. Most of us consider how much longer we have to go, or ask ourselves why on earth we’re putting ourselves through all that pain.

You wouldn’t be alone in wondering what on earth is going on inside the heads of those people jogging an “easy” 15 miles before work on a Monday. The British Psychology Society decided to do some research and their findings are making us feel a lot better about ourselves.

The study revealed that the runners surveyed spent 32 per cent of their time running thinking about how much “Pain” and “discomfort” they were in.

They also spent 40 per cent of their time considering how fast they were going and how much longer they had to go (the runs were at least 7 miles long). A popular thought to consider: “downhill, don’t kill yourself”.

To be fair they did spend the rest of their time out running considering their surroundings. Although while most were considering the beautiful scenery, others were concerned with any dangers hiding around the corner. Such as “I hope I don’t see any snakes.”

Some of our favourite thoughts from the survey:

"Hill, you're a b**** … it's long and hot.”

"This is such a fu**ing busy street. I hate it.”

"That sucked!”

"I need it to start raining, it's hot, its' really hot, humid.”

Another thing that makes this survey even better, the runners were asked to “think aloud” while they ran rather than trying to remember everything afterwards.

So the next time you drive past someone who looks like they’re giving themselves the best pep talk of their lives, they’re more than likely lamenting their dodgy knees or ill-fitting socks.

So we know most people would probably spend quite some time touring around the world if they happened to scoop the Euromillions jackpot.

However, if your first port of call is a new house… then we have just the abode for you. 

And sure, if you're an overnight multi-millionaire (oh yeah, tonight's jackpot is worth €30m), you may as well splash the cash and be truly lavish. 

In fact, we've decided the first thing we're going to do if our lucky numbers do get picked, is buy Glin Castle in Co. Limerick… because we REALLY need 21 bedrooms.

Our future home comes in at a huge €6.5m which will seem like pocket-change once we win all those millions. This mansion sits on more than 150 hectares of park land and contains formal gardens as well as a functioning dairy farm on the grounds.

It extends to 2,000sq metres over three floors, which we reckon is is plenty of room for our new personal trainers to take us for jogs in the morning. Heck! We could actually even have our own music festival on the grounds.

The house is a romantic, fairytale style castle and is just the type of luxury we are after.

It's a tad old-fashioned, but we plan to do pimp it out with a home cinema, a glam room (or two), walk-in wardrobes galore and maybe a swimming pool and jacuzzi for good measure. 

The last Knight of Glin, Desmond FitzGerald, died four years ago; his family have lived in situ for an incredible 700 years.

What we also love for our €6.5m? The great hall would definitely be good for great parties. Featuring symbols of Ireland, it has never been restored since its construction in the 1780s.

Off this party space is a magnificent double-flying staircase – the only one of its kind in Ireland – and a swish Venetian window.

There is even a secret passageway: concealed within a broken mahogany book case.

Over the years the likes Mick Jagger, Marianne Faithfull and Talitha Getty have all stayed there. There are further celeb connections too: the last Knight's daughter Catherine FitzGerald is married to Dominic West of The Wire fame. She is selling up along with her two sisters, who both live abroad. 

Still if all else fails and we don't win the Euromillions, what about a load of us chip in and buy it together?
