Conor McGregor recently starred in an ad for Budweiser promoting a competition to win €50,000 and a job of your dreams.

However, RTÉ has banned the ad from appearing on its station.

The national broadcaster cited that they are against “heroes of the young” promoting alcohol, reports the Sunday Business Post.

When you watch the ad on Youtube you have to confirm your age but Budweiser have said they had the ad already pre-approved for TV.

Since the beginning of the year there has been numerous rumours that Rob wants nothing to do with the Kardashians – mainly because he started dating Blac Chyna, formerly known as the Kardashians' enemy. 

But, it seems we were all mistaken as the whole family gathered to celebrate Rob's birthday last night at Nobu in Malibu, California.

The 29-year-old reality star spent the evening with his sisters Kim, Kourtney, Kendall and Kylie, as well as his mom Kris, Kanye West and Scott Disick.

Kylie’s boyfriend Tyga was photographed arriving at the St. Patrick’s Day themed dinner alongside Kendall earlier, but Rob's flame Blac Chyna was nowhere to be seen.

So, were the fights and Twitter feuds all for show?

Either way, Rob seems to be happier than ever and getting back in good health, so maybe the distance from the Kardashians worked.

We all love a bit of Graham Norton, from his stint on everyones beloved Father Ted to his popular talk show, we just can't get enough of the comedian.

And now, it seems we're going to get a whole lot more as Graham is about to debut his first novel.

UK publishers Hodder & Stoughton have revealed that even though the book has no name yet, it will be hitting bookshelves soon.

“I’m thrilled to be publishing Graham’s first novel and to be launching what we believe will be a major new career for him as a novelist,” Hodder & Stoughton's Hannah Black told the Mail On Sunday.

“This is a darkly funny book; Graham is a skilled storyteller, the writing impressively broad and layered.

“He knows this world and he understands people, their secret passions, and motivations, and that is in part what helps to make this such an accomplished and compelling debut,” she added.

The TV host wrote the book last summer, and actually surprised himself by doing it.

“Like so many other people I’ve always wanted to write a novel and I’m both proud and shocked that I have finally done it. It’s a mixture of mystery and romance, set in a part of the world I love,” he said.

Adele is one of the biggest stars on the planet, and we all know she’s extremely private about her family life.. it’s understandable.

But the Hello singer was left in outrage last night when a hacker stole pictures of her son and shared them online.

In the security breach, photos including ones of her three-year-old son, Angelo, as a newborn, were posted all over Facebook.

Other pictures that were stolen included one of her pregnancy scans, a selfie she took in her kitchen while pregnant, and some from when she was a kid.

According to The Sun, the hacker is believed to have taken the pictures through Adele’s partner, Simon Konecki’s email account.

An source told the newspaper: "I was appalled and upset for Adele when I saw the pictures. They are really private and should not be passed around.

"I think it is disgusting that her so-called fans were sending them around and I thought it should be stopped. They are way too private, especially the scan and picture of her when she was pregnant.

"If Adele wanted to share these pictures I am sure she would. It would be up to her if she wants intimate pictures like this shown around."

According to numerous emerging reports, 14 people have lost their lives after a bus carrying university students crashed in Spain earlier this morning.

The vehicle, which was carrying Erasmus students from several different countries, was travelling to Barcelona from Valencia when it collided with a car and overturned on the AP-7 motorway near Freginals – a town which is approximately 60 miles south of Tarragona.

It has been established that approximately 20 fire crews and seven ambulance crews are currently working at the scene in an effort to free casualties who are trapped inside the bus.

Commenting on the morning's tragic events, mayor of Freginals, Josep Roncero, said: "The coach crash is a tragedy. At the moment there are 14 fatalities. Many Erasmus students were travelling in the vehicle."

"The coach has crossed the central reservation and overturned. It’s the worst accident I can remember," he continued. "All the injured have now been transferred to different hospitals in the area."

While the nationalities of the dead and injured have not yet been confirmed, reports indicate that the students travelling on the ill-fated bus were studying at Barcelona University.

Our thoughts go out to everyone affected by the tragedy.

Ronan and Storm Keating have been extremely busy lately, with Storm launching her own boot line and Ronan flying to and from Australia to film The Voice; but that didn't stop him from getting a new and sentimental inking.

Ronan spent some time in a tattoo parlour over the weekend where he had a meaningful tattoo done on the top of his right arm – the coordinates of three different cities that hold a very special place in his heart.

"The Origin of the coordinates will always be where my heart lies #Dublin #Archerfield #Sydney," he wrote beside the Instagram snap.

Dublin is the city where Ronan was born, Archerfield is where he married Storm last year and Sydney is where the couple met in 2010, while they were both working on Australian X Factor.

Storm also took to Instagram to share a pic of her husband getting inked. "Adding to the collection #Tattoo #BondiInk #Coordinates #Dublin #Archerfield #Sydney," she captioned the snap.

Jamie Oliver has landed himself in a bit of hot water this week after some comments he made about breastfeeding angered a number of people who have come out to criticise the chef. 

"We have the worst breastfeeding in the world," said the father-of-four on LBC 

"If you breastfeed for more than six months, women are 50% less likely to get breast cancer. When do you ever hear that? Never.

"It's easy, it's more convenient, it's more nutritious, it's better, it's free.

And Twitter was not impressed as a number of women felt that the celebrity chef was lecturing them on the needs of their baby. 

The backlash got so bad that the 40-year-old was forced to clarify his comments in a subsequent tweet.

"I'm not planning on starting a campaign on breastfeeding. It's simply a matter of interest following my nutritional studies over the past two years.

"I understand that breastfeeding is not easy and in some cases not even possible but just wanted to support women who DO want to breastfeed and make it easier to do so.

"As a father and father-to-be I would never want to offend women or mums as I knows how incredible they are and I would get a kicking when I got home!"

The backlash comes just days after Jamie and his wife Jools confirmed that they are expecting their fifth child.

We don't know about you but we think this dog has a serious pregnancy glow about her. 

Lilica the dog may have been expecting a litter of five pups, but that didn't stop her from absolutely slaying this photoshoot. 

Lilica's owner asked Brazilian photographer Ana Paula Grilla to take pics of the dog in her heavily pregnant state and well, if these snaps don't put a smile on your face then we don't know what will. 

"It was amazing, I felt like I understood her completely,” said Ana on taking the snaps. 

“She made sensational poses!"

And it seems that the internet agrees as the shoot is quickly going viral. 

Oh and the best part? Lilica gave birth to five healthy pups just the next day.

Scott Disick and Kourtney Kardashian may have broken up last summer, but we still harbour all hope that they will end up together. 

So when we hear Scott say that he will always love her, we get a bit emosh about it all. 

"I mean, she’ll always be family to me and probably the person I love the most in the world," said the 32-year-old to US Weekly. 

"So even though we’re not together, we’re still close and it’s still nice to be around each other."

The pair were spotted yesterday as they took their three kids on a fun-filled day out to Harry Potter World in Universal Studios. 

The former couple regularly take the kids out for play-dates but Kourtney was quick to dispel rumours that they were getting back together. 

"By the way, everyone relax. We have three kids together. We spend time together," said the star in a Snapchat video recently. 

The fun excursion comes just days after Scott was spotted hanging out in LA with his rumoured new girlfriend, 20-year-old model Christina Burke. 

The model, who bears a striking resemblance to Kendall, has reportedly been dating the reality star for weeks according to US Weekly. 

Let's hope this is just a phase.

So Pope Francis has just made history yet again by being the first church leader to get an Instagram account. 

Welcome to the 21st Century, Francis!

The Pope officially joined Instagram today under the name Franciscus after meeting with the head of the social media app last year and announcing the move earlier this week. 

The popular Pope has already mastered the art of selfie-taking, so it's only natural that he make the mighty leap into photo-sharing himself. 

Francis is no stranger to social media however as he already has a Twitter account on which he announced his Instagram news. 

"I am beginning a new journey, on Instagram, to walk with you along the path of mercy and the tenderness of God," read the tweet. 

His first post is a snap of himself praying with the caption: "Pray for me."

Having only been set up today, the account has already amassed over 298 thousand followers at the time of writing. 

We really hope he gets into emojis at some point soon.

So our favourite Irish boybands are being reincarnated into a new act and while this may seem like the best news ever, but not everyone is happy about it. 

Brian McFadden, formerly of Westlife, and Keith Duffy of Boyzone have joined forces and confirmed a Boyzlife tour which will involve performing some of the original groups' greatest hits. 

However, Kian Egan is not particularly happy about it. 

"From the perspective of someone who spent 15 years in Westlife, it was really aggravating,"  said the Voice judge to OK! Magazine. 

"It was really unfair on the fans [because] everybody thought that this was what’s happening, you know that Westlife and Boyzone [were uniting]. 

"I was scratching my head when I first saw it. It’s a bit of an odd one – a member of Westlife who left the band after 4 years decides to use half the name for whatever it is that they’re doing."

But Brian hit back at the comments on the Late Late Show last night. 

"I was actually in Westlife for more than 4 years but maths was never Kian’s thing in fairness.

"A lot of people probably did get confused because a lot of people probably thought we were doing a McBusted."

Keith added: "At the end of the day myself and Brian are after teaming up to do a show and talk about 20 years in the business.

The lads are kicking off their tour in London on October 16 before doing 11 more gigs around Ireland.
