Many of us know what it's like to live abroad as an Irish expat and suffer serious home sickness. 

Whether we are missing a cup of Barry's Tea or a chicken fillet roll, living abroad generally tends to mean being a bit broke, a bit lost and feeling more Irish than you have ever felt before. 

And that's the exact vibe Sean Burke plays up in his recent video Letter from an Irish Expat. 

From wishing to hear the Angelus to accidently embodying all Irish stereotypes, this video hits the nail on the head.

It's not everyday that a Hollywood movie star can stroll around the busiest square in the world and not be bothered. 

But that is exactly what happened to Superman actor Henry Cavill. 

The 32-year-old, who was also crowned People's Sexiest Man Alive, strolled around a packed Times Square in New York and not one person noticed him. 

 

Dear Doubter, The glasses are good enough. Regards, Superman #WhoWillWin #Superman

A video posted by Henry Cavill (@henrycavill) on

To add insult to injury, the actor also donned a Superman t-shirt and even stood underneath a massive billboard poster for his upcoming flick, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. 

Henry posted the gas video to his Instagram to prove that a pair of glasses are more than enough to keep Superman disguised. 

Watch him discuss the experience on Jimmy Kimmel Live

Actor Dylan O'Brien was rushed to hospital after a dangerous stunt on the set of the Maze Runner: Death Cure did not go according to plan. 

According to the Daily Mail, the 24-year-old has sustained several severe injuries though his representatives have confirmed that they are not life-threatening. 

The star of the popular young adult, dystopian series reportedly fell off a set-piece that was designed to look like the back of a train and was then hit by a stunt car. 

Dylan was then rushed to a local hospital in Vancouver, British Columbia where filming was taking place. 

"Production on the film will be shut down while he recovers," a spokesperson for Fox said in a statement. 

"Our thoughts go out to Dylan for a full and speedy recovery."

Dylan's publicist confirmed the reports but also stated that the actor should make a full recovery from his injuries. 

Meanwhile, a number of Dylan's co-stars and friends have taken to social media to wish the star a speedy recovery:

So Kendall and Kylie Jenner were having a blast with their big sis Khloe yesterday as the trio went undercover to go on a tour of Hollywood. 

And the disguises were rather impressive. 

Khloe donned grey hair and turned into an very vocal lady from Albuquerque while Kendall opted for a ginger wig. 

Kylie pretty much looked like herself except added a fake nose and fringe. 

And they seemed to be having a blast as they travelled around their own neighbourhood incognito. 

They even called out the tour guide when they got facts about the Kardashians totally wrong. 

The adventure was all documented on Kylie's Snapchat but it wasn't long until the paps caught up to them.

Zach Miko is making headlines all over the world as he becomes the first plus-sized male model to sign with renowned, global agency IMG Models

The 26-year-old is the first of the agency's so-called BRAWN division which will depart from the a-typical male models we see in the fashion industry today. 

Zach recieved international attention when he became the first plus-sized male to model for top US brand Target and was then scouted by IMG on Instagram. 

"Being a man of size, I never imagined for a minute that this would be a possible career,' Miko said to Buzzfeed 

"Then, Ivan [president of IMG] told me about his dreams for the fashion industry: diversity, inclusion, evolution. I knew then I hadn’t just found an agency, I had found a home.

"I consider myself a beefy, stocky kind of guy or whatever buzzword you want to use. I’m in the fashion business and I’m required to dress fashionably and yet I have size issues.

"It becomes defeating when I don’t consider myself morbidly obese, but I go to certain stores they don’t have my size."

IMG, which houses world-famous names such as Kate Moss and Gigi Hadid, is using Zach to launch it's new plus-size male division, Brawn. 

Yeah, now we just can't wait to see Zach on a runway.

So the first teaser trailer for Blake Lively's upcoming film the Shallows sure does succeed in piquing our interest. 

The movie stars Blake as a recently bereaved surfer who is left injured and stranded on a slab of rock just metres from the shore. 

Doesn't sound too bad? Yeah, just add a hungry, great white shark to the mix. 

Blake was spotted filming for the film on Lord Howe Island in Australia. She even brought hubby Ryan Reynolds and baby daughter James out for a little holiday while on location. 

The thriller is due to hit cinemas in June.

Beyonce cast wheelchair-bound model Jillian Mercado as part of the latest campaign for her merchandise and we have to say she looks so fierce. 

The 28-year-old, who suffers from muscular dystrophy, can be seen modelling hats, jumpers and other items on queen Bey's official website. 

The blogger-turned-model burst onto the fashion last year when she was chosen to star in a Diesel campaign before being signed to IMG models. 

"[My aim is to give] hope to people who are maybe saying, 'My life is over' because they are disabled. You can totally do it, nothing should be stopping you," she said to the Daily Mail. 

"Working with IMG, my goal is to make it so that I am not the model in the wheelchair and I’m just the model. 

"If I can do big shows like Alexander Wang or Chanel and not be seen as the token girl. That goes a long way toward challenging perceptions. 

"There is still so much change that needs to happen, but I want to make way for whoever has that mind-set that I had when I was younger.

"I want the people who were hesitant in pursuing fashion because of the way that people might perceive them to know there is a place for them."

Jillian has landed internships with Allure and Veranda magazine as well as having attended the Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC.

Madonna has grabbed headlines once again today as it was revealed that she exposed the boob of an underage fan during her live gig this week. 

At a packed house in Brisbane, Josephine Georgiou, a 17-year-old aspiring model, was invited up onstage to perform with the iconic singer where Madge proceeded to pull down her top. 

"She's the kind of girl you just want to slap… on the ass… and pull," said the 57-year-old to the crowd. 

She then proceeded to tug at the top, exposing a breast before adding: "Oh sh*t, oh sorry, sexual harassment. You can do the same to me." 

The incident has caused criticism across social media this week but Josephine has come out to say that she is okay with the whole thing. 

"Only I get to decide if I'm humiliated or not – why would people assume I am humiliated by my own breast, nipple or body?" Georgiou reportedly said to the Courier-Mail in Australia. 

"I didn't realise my boob was such a big deal, it was nothing to me." 

The incident comes less than a week after Madonna missed a court hearing for her custody battle over son Rocco and having several meltdowns onstage.

Actor and comedian Eddie Izzard is planning to run 27 marathons in 27 days for Sports Relief. 

While we try to contemplate that unfathomable amount, the British star has also been chatting about coming out as transgender over 31 years ago. 

In a passionate speech, the 54-year-old spoke about coming to terms with his gender identity. 

"I am a transgender guy who came out 31 years ago… I've got boy genetics and girl genetics," he said in a promotional video. 

"We get obsessed by it in humanity. We've been obsessed for 5000 years of civilization and people are still being murdered – in Uganda they were trying to sentence people to death.

"No matter what sex or sexuality, how you self-identify, or who you fancy, matters not one whit – what do you do in life?

"What do you make? What do you add to the human existence? That's what matters."

So Ellie Goulding went on a night out in Newcastle and it seems that all the Geordie Shore lads were just dying to spend the evening with her. 

But it was Scotty T who prevailed and turned to social media to boast about the encounter. 

The On My Mind singer was out after her gig in the The Toon and seemed to be paryting it up with the Celebrity Big Brother winner. 

The Geordie lothario posted a snap of himself, Ellie and his cousin to his Instagram (though it was deleted a while later) with the caption: "Me @elliegoulding and me cousin @jerxzj in Perdu Newcastle last night! Absolutely smashed!"

But it seems that Scotty was not the only Geordie lad who wanted in on some Ellie action. 

Gary Beadle also tweeted his fans encouraging the star to get in touch: "'Is @elliegoulding in Newcastle tonight ???? I want to go….everyone tweet her tell her to get in touch… Thank you."

And lucky for Gaz, the star replied enthusiastically prompting Gary to get her to message him for the deets. 

Who knows whether the pair actually did meet up but it seems more than likely. 

Just weeks after her split from Dougie Poynter, it seems that Ellie is hot property. 

Hon the gals.

Jimmy Kimmel has been all about Ireland and St. Patrick's Day on his popular US talkshow Jimmy Kimmel Live this week. 

The infamous presenter has spent the past few days trying to figure out how to pull the perfect pint of Guiness. 

Earlier in the week, he had the Guiness Brewery Ambassador, Eoghan Clavin, on to help teach him how to achieve that perfected Guiness look. 

While Jimmy's own pint went very well, when he tried to have some American fans pull them in an Irish pub on Paddy's Day, it's safe to say that the results were not half as good. 

The host tuned in to Rock and Reilly's Irish Bar in West Hollywood for a pint-pulling contest and the finished products were definitely a bit ropey.
