In news that will probably make a lot of people happy, Hollywood actors Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg are coming to Dublin. 

The pair will be jetting in on December 7 to promote their new film, Daddy's Home. 

The film focuses on Will Ferrell's character, Brad, trying to be a good step-father to his wife's two kids.

But then the kids' real dad, Dusty (Wahlberg), comes into play and upsets their whole routine. The men then pursue to battle it out for the affection of the children. 

It looks like a really funny movie and we can't wait to see it when it hits cinemas on St Stephen's Day. But for now, here's the trailer and Will telling us to get our pubs ready:

Finally technology has caught up with our lives, and provided us with the one thing we've always longed for.

You know what we're talking about – the ability to delete a text from someone's phone before they've read it.

So next time you send a text to someone by mistake (argh) or drunkenly message your ex (urgh), you can stop the inevitable, all thanks to a new app called Ansa. 

Ansa is a texting service, much like Viber or WhatsApp, but with the added ability to remotely delete messages, before or after they're read.

And if you're having a conversation you'd rather not ever share with the world, you can turn on the "off the record" feature, meaning you can send messages, photos or videos that "self-destruct" in seconds.

Here are just a few times we WISH we'd had Ansa at our disposal…

1. That time we clicked 'Reply All' on a work email by mistake
After using a few, shall we say, unsavoury words about someone in the office

2. That time we sent a message to the WhatsApp group chat that was meant for someone else
This guy knows what we're talking about

 

3. That time we thought 3am was the perfect time to re-connect with our ex
3am is not the perfect time for anything except Abrakebabra

 

4. That time someone sent "I'm pregnant" messages to our entire contacts list as a "hilarious" prank
That is NEVER hilarious, btw.

When it comes to cooking (or everything in life, really) we love a good shortcut – and there are so many genius hacks out there to help the cooking-challenged among us. 

But some hacks can be more successful than others, and some can turn out to be super dangerous too. 

Just take this sideways toaster shortcut that is supposed to make a mean grilled cheese. One woman tried it and it turned out to be a VERY terrifying ordeal. 

One unfortunate woman from the UK, Suzanna Dale, saw the hack online and decided to try it. But as you can see, her plan went disastrously wrong. 

DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME… !!! …Saw a tip on FB about turning your toaster on it's side for toasted cheese…..thought…

Posted by Suzanne Dale on Wednesday, 18 November 2015

Suzanne told the Manchester Evening News that her toaster burned for about 20 minutes. She also proceeded to throw the toaster out of her kitchen window. 

"They were real flames, it could be dangerous," she said. Lesson learned – DO NOT try this at home.

2015 marks the triumphant return of Irish pop sensations, The Corrs. 

Yes, our favourite family had the whole island buzzing last summer with the news that they would be reuniting – as well as doing a comeback tour. 

Set to release new material in January, the four siblings from Dundalk decided it was probably about time they surprised their fans with a little flavour of what is to come. 

Except no one knew about it, of course.

The band released a tweet less than two hours before the gig was about to start, alerting fans to the impromptu performance at the Ruby Sessions in Doyles. 

A similiar gig had been planned for earlier this year, but it was cancelled at the last minute.

The band belted out fan favourites such as Breathless and Runaway at the packed gig and we have to say, it looked pretty spectacular. 

 

 

To top it all off, all proceeds from the gig are going to the Simon Community. 

All we can say is WHERE were we?

Most of us will admit to feeding our animals scraps under the table or letting them climb onto the couch for a cuddle.

But one thing that is almost never shared by an animal and a human is a romantic meal for two. Until now, that is. 

As part of a (rather strange) promotional campaign for Mon Petit cat food, Nestlé is offering an unique catering service – complete with a private chef – for you and your cat. 

The chef will turn up to your door and whip up a four-course meal for you and your furry feline.

 

Now, the chef won't make the same meal for you and your pet (thank god), but the meal will consist of the same foods. 

For the starter, the cat will be served a pouch of Mon Petit maguro (tuna) and a similar fish dish garnished with vegetables will be served to the human. 

Next, they move onto the soup – Mon Petit crab and sardines will be given to the feline and a delicious bowl of crab, scallops and sardine soup for the owner. 

And then guests can prepare to feast on the main course, as Mon Petit will serve roast chicken in a vegetable sauce for the kitty and a human version of the dish for the owner. 

The catering service costs a massive €170, but good news (or bad, whatever you're into) is that the service is only available in Japan. 

We're not quite sure whether this idea is crazy or brilliant, but one thing's for sure, the cat will probably have a tummy ache afterwards.

Just last week, glitter roots emerged as a new – and very seasonal – beauty trend. Little did we know that some industrious men would decide that all that sparkle shouldn't just be reserved to head hair.

The latest buzz-worthy beauty trend is not for the girls, but for the guys. 

Introducing, the glitter beard:

 

#glitterbeard happened. You're welcome. #diamondstatetattoo #beard #winning

A photo posted by Nick Peirce (@tattoosbynickp) on

Men across the globe are dipping their facial hair into what looks like VATS of glitter in an attempt to embrace the festive season. 

While we love a good bit of facial hair over here at SHEmazing!, we are not quite sure we could cope with coming face-to-face with a real life glitter beard. 

But if you LIVE for some festive spirit and know a man with impressive facial hair, why not tell them to ditch the Christmas jumper and embrace the #glitterbeard instead?

For you need to know about achieving the perfect shimmery beard straight out of Christmas heaven, check out the video below.

You’ve let us down, Biebs.

And it’s certainly not the first time.

Yep, our favourite Canadian pop star has been uttering the 's' word left, right and centre this week after he cancelled TWO live performances due to 'personal reasons.'

Justin was due to tape a live rendition of his recent singles yesterday to be aired during the MASSIVE CBS Thanksgiving Day Parade. He was also meant to perform on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert but pulled out. 

At least, he said sorry though.

Hmm, these apologies sound familiar and it is not just because he went and wrote a song solely about being sorry. 

Turns out that Justin Bieber has been sorry many MANY times. 

1)  The Biebs was sorry when he refused to finish a performance because the crowd would not let him clean up a spillage on stage. 

So this happened.

During a recent live performance in Norway, Justin Bieber dramatically stormed offstage all over some spilt liquid and apologised to his fans on Instagram. 

2) He was also sorry when he was two hours late to start a performance in London due to 'technical difficulties' 

Back in 2013, Justin was extremely late for a performance in London's O2 arena and many of the younger beliebers had to leave because it was a school night. 

We can only fathom the devastation but of course, but at least you can always say sorry (even if you underestimate how late you were). 

3) He was kind of sorry when he posted a picture of his bare bum to social media 

He definitely didnt need to say sorry to us, but the Biebs apologised to his younger fans for a naked picture he posted to Instagram. It was quickly deleted but poor Biebs had to explain himself to the 'littles'. 

4) He was very sorry when he got caught making racist jokes 

Back in 2014, an old video surfaced of the Biebs making some pretty questionable jokes and of course, the internet lost it. 

However, being an expert in apologies at this stage, Justin's sorry came fast and swift in a public statement. 

"I thought it was ok to repeat hurtful words and jokes, but didn't realize at the time that it wasn't funny and that in fact my actions were continuing the ignorance."

"Thanks to friends and family I learned from my mistakes and grew up and apologized for those wrongs. Now that these mistakes from the past have become public I need to apologize again to all those I have offended. I'm very sorry."

5) He was really REALLY sorry for being a bit of an idiot 

At the beginning of this year and on the cusp of his career re launch, Justin made a Facebook video apologising for basically all of his bad behaviour. 

We definitely have the mini violins out for you, Justin.

Selena Gomez is certainly the lady of the moment!

Just days after Justin Bieber publicly serenaded her at a bar in LA, Selena, 23, was spotted with another major male pop star. 

And this time it was One Direction's Niall Horan. Yep, the Mullingar man reconnected with Selena after the AMAs and the duo went out for a cosy dinner with Selena's parents. 

Dinner with the parents? Very interesting! 

Selena, Niall and Mr and Mrs Gomez went to Malibu hotspot, Nobu, but Us Weekly reports that the Niall and Selena are just good friends. 

It was just three days before that the Good For You singer had a reunion with her ex Justin, 21. And they certainly had tongues wagging when pictures surfaced of them spending time together in Beverly Hills

But Niall and Justin aren't the only men Selena has been spending time with as she was also spotted two weeks ago having dinner with Gigi Hadid's BFF, Samuel Krost – and they looked particularly cosy. 

All we want to know is who will Selena choose, or will she choose any of them at all.

Ah, the morning commute. 

We will never get used to being packed onto the train like sardines and sweating by the time you get to your destination even though its -2 degrees outside.

And let's not forget the various questionable odours, ESPECIALLY if it happens to be raining. 

Well, we may not be able to solve all those problems but the Minister for Transport is putting in an expanded DART service for 2016 which might just make that commute slightly more bearable. 

Due to a serious increase in passenger numbers on all commuter routes, our good ol' Minster Paschal Donohoe has proposed DART services that will run every ten minutes during the week with a more reliable service put in place for the weekend. 

YES. 

And for those who look to avoid the commuter scrum, DART services will operate from earlier times on mid week mornings.

That's right, you will be able to get a train from 5:50am from Malahide, 6am from Howth and 5.35 from Bray! 

And Minister Donohue is delighted. 

“Proposed changes – which will see DART services running every 10 minutes and for longer hours – will be great news for customers as it should mean less congestion on carriages at peak times and enhanced reliability, both of which will be welcomed."

Every little helps!

He's been married to Jada Pinkett Smith for twenty years, and Will Smith has finally revealed the secret to a happy relationship.

Unfortunately, it's a little less romantic than you might think. Speaking at the LA premiere of his film Concussion this week, the actor said the main thing keeping his marriage going strong was his and Jada's insistence on "not quitting."

And indeed, the 47-year-old star admits his two decades of marriage haven't always been easy.

"It’s like our marriage was the most difficult, gruelling, excruciating thing that we have ever taken on in our lives. And you know we're just not quitters."

While many long-term couples would say teamwork is important in a relationship, Will seems inclined to disagree.

"I would say is that we never went into working on our relationship.

"We only ever worked on ourselves individually, and then presented ourselves to one another better than we were previously."

Over the last few years the couple, who have 17-year-old son Jaden and 15-year-old daughter Willow together, have been plagued by divorce rumours.

However they've always insisted they're as strong as ever – with Will even taking to Facebook earlier this year to put an end to the speculation.

"So, in the interest of redundant, repetitious, over & over-again-ness… Jada and I are…NOT GETTING A DIVORCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!" he wrote.

"I promise you all – if I ever decide to divorce my Queen – I SWEAR I'll tell you myself."

Their approach to marriage might be a little unorthodox, but twenty years on it still seems to be working for this pair.
