Reality star Farrah Abraham has retracted allegations against a taxi driver whom she claimed tried to rape her in January of 2015. 

The Teen Mom star had stated in her podcast Farrah & Friends that an Uber (a taxi company equivalent to Hailo) driver had attacked her while getting picked up from her hotel. 

She also claimed that her then-boyfriend Simon Saran had to come and "rescue" her. 

Just days after she made the statements, Farrah has now denied that she was actually attacked, simply saying that the incident could have ended in rape. 

"It could have escalated into a rape situation," said the 24-year-old to Page Six. 

"I got into the car and the gentleman was looking me up and down. Something was wrong with him, like he was mentally disabled."

According to the mother-of-one, the driver had made her walk to his vehicle instead of picking her up at the hotel and made her "uncomfortable" by staring at her. 

Footage recorded at the scene shows Farrah yelling at police officers as they tried to diffuse the situation. 

Uber responded to the initial allegations by claiming that no report of the incident had been made to the company and that the star had been banned from using the service anyway after her friend had spilt alcohol all over the front-seat of an affiliated taxi. 

And according to the police, no official report was filed with them at the time either.

Hozier will appear on The Late Late Show this Friday night, March 11, and if you play your social media cards right you could have a front row seat.

Ryan Tubridy and co. are looking for Hozier's biggest fans (or at least the most inquisitive ones) to form part of the studio audience for this week's Late Late.

To be in with a chance of scoring tickets, you simply need to let RTÉ know the ONE question you'd ask Hozier if you had the chance to meet him face-to-face.

You can submit your question via Twitter using the hashtag #HozierLLS, or via the RTÉ One and Late Late Show Facebook pages (keep an eye out there for details).

The lucky few who submit the "most interesting and intriguing questions" will be selected for this Friday's studio audience. As well as getting to hear Hozier perform Cherry Wine live on the night, they may even get the chance to ask Hozier the question themselves live on air.

While that sounds like it could end up being just a tad awkward, we'd never sniff at the chance to see Hozier singing live, just a few feet away.

Please note that you must be over 18 to form part of The Late Late Show's studio audience.

Since that Summer is kinda, nearly here (go away cold weather), it's time to get excited for all the ice cream and ice pops we can stuff into our faces.

But Ben & Jerry's is welcoming its new ice cream sandwich to Ireland next month, and let's just say we'll be eating them all Summer long.

They are coming in two different flavours, Chocolate Fudge Brownie (YASS) and The Cookie Dough 'Wich which both sound as good as the other.

Now all we have to do is wait for the weather to turn around – but let's be honest, they look so good we'll probably eat them in the cold anyway.

Just weeks after cancelling a number of US tour dates due to health reasons, Janet Jackson has cancelled her entire Europe/UK tour.

Ticketmaster informed fans of the sudden change via email this morning, adding that it was "not possible" to confirm new dates at present and that those with tickets should return to their point of purchase for a full refund.

Among the gigs affected – which include concerts in France, Germany, Scotland and England – is Janet's April 2nd gig at Dublin's 3Arena.

The Ticketmaster email cited "scheduling difficulties" as the main reason for the tour cancellation, but some Twitter users speculated that low ticket sales could be to blame:

Back in December, Janet postponed all dates on her US tour to give her time to recover from vocal chord surgery, but rescheduled the dates just two weeks later.

In what could have ended in absolute disaster, one Irish kid certainly knows how to make the most of a wedding. 

During a wedding in Lucan last weekend, a video showing the antics of one little boy during the ceremony is gong a storm 

While Tanya Malone attempted to get up the aisle to marry her fiance Mark , it seems her nephew Rhys could not resist the urge to jump on the voluminous train of the dress. 

In fairness, it does look pretty comfortable. 

But in a very fortunate turn of events, the dress managed to withhold and the bride thankfully did not reveal her derriere to the entire congregation. 

Phew.

It doesn't seem to be the best of times for Conor McGregor lately as one of his trainers has been arrested in relation to a deadly assault in Dublin.

The Herald reports that Jonathan Dargan, who coached Conor in Taekwondo for a number of years, is a doorman at the popular Dublin nightclub Lillie's Bordello.

The Tallaght man was arrested by Gardaí investigating the death of Patrick Mullally, who was punched over the weekend in his bid to break up an argument, and later died from his injuries.

Mr. Mullally was on his way home from his own retirement party at the time.

After being questioned for a few hours at Terenure Garda Station, Mr. Dargan was released without charge. According to the Irish Independent, he was not previously known to Gardaí and had a clean record.

It's thought Mr. Dargan ended up in a verbal row with a woman close to him on the night in question, with Mr. Mullally attempting to step in to intervene.

No other information has been released.

If you were feeling a bit weird about the whole Liam-and-Cheryl situation, you can probably imagine how Liam's ex-girlfriend Sophia Smith must be taking it.

After being pictured together on a casino date night over the weekend, a source told Heat magazine today that Liam and Cheryl are "practically living together," with Cheryl regularly spending the night at her new man's Surrey home.

Unsurprisingly, Sophia's more than a bit freaked out news of the new romance, especially considering her own two-year relationship with the One Direction singer only ended last November.

Speaking to Now magazine today, Sophia admitted that she was finding it all very difficult to process.

"It's so weird," she said, adding that she'd heard a few rumours but didn't expect things to move so fast.

"I knew about them a little while ago, but who thought it would actually come out? I didn’t."

However the 22-year-old was keen to emphasise that she wasn't letting Liam's new romance get her down, telling the magazine that she was "all good."

Speaking about his split from Sophia shortly after news broke late last year, a "devastated" Liam said he had no choice but to end things for Sophia's sake.

"Being on the tour all this year and being away from her was so hard. We spent so much time apart.

"But in order to do right by somebody sometimes it's better not to do what your heart wants, but to do what's better for them."

Aerosmith frontman Steve Tyler is  dating his 28-year-old personal assistant according as they are spotted out at their first public event as a couple. 

The 67-year-old was first reported to have been seeing his PA romantically back in 2014 but the pair seem to have become serious as they were snapped out holding hands this week. 

Aimee Ann Preston is ten years younger than Steve's eldest daughter Liv while she is one age to his other daughter Chelsea who is 28. 

But it seems that the 38-year age gap is not causing any issues for the pair as they looked incredibly happy as they stepped out for a recent event. 

While there has been no word from live on how she feels about the romance, we reckon it may be a little awkward. 

The pair were snapped together at an Oscars viewing party held by the Elton John Aids Foundation. 

Steven has a bit of a reputation for dating women younger than him as he split from Erin Brady in 2013 who was 25 years his junior. 

You do you, Steve.

Even though we may all be celebrating International Women's Day this week, a viral video has surfaced which unfortunately reminds us just how sexist many industries in the world are. 

In a social experiment done by Casting Call: The Project, young actresses are asked to read out casting calls for female characters, all of which were taken from real casting websites. 

And the results are pretty unbelievable. 

While some 'requirements' for female roles are so ludicrous you can only laugh at them, some of the words reduced the women in the video to tears. 

From requiring women to wear push-up bras, be under a certain age and of a "slender build", it's easy to see why the film industry receives such criticism. 

"We are hoping that this fun and cathartic project will contribute to the conversation about the deeply flawed ideas of female characters and work for women in the arts in general," the team behind the project who are looking to redefine female stereotypes in film. 

"We hope that it will keep all of us (of every gender) talking, thinking, asking and most importantly, CREATING OUR OWN WORK that will, in turn, bring about the roles we all want to see for female actors." 

Watch the powerful video below:

Dublin 8 is now home to a brand new cookie café, but this is no first-time venture for owners Jenny Synnott and Elaine Cohalan.

The couple have been selling their wares at festivals and farmers' markets for two years now, and this year took the leap to open their own café and bakery on Dublin's Thomas St.

It opened over the weekend, and if you haven't had the chance to check it out yet, we'd strongly suggest pegging it down there soon.

Why? Well, firstly, the cookies.

Freshly baked and in a variety of flavours like classic chocolate chip, sea salted caramel and peanut butter, these are no ordinary biccies.

Secondly, the coffee, made with beans from Irish artisan roasters Coffee Culture:

 

And finally, the cookie dough, so that you can whip up your own batch at home:

Enough said. We're already sold.

Check out The Dublin Cookie Co now at 29 Thomas St, Dublin 8.

If you find Taylor Swift unbearable at the best of times, then you will likely expire over the comments she wrote as a teen. 

However, we can see a lot of ourselves in Tay's early days on social media. 

Buzzfeed uncovered what is believed to have been Taylor's MySpace page from back when she was just a young country singer with big hair and big dreams. 

The profile has been swiftly (*lol*) deleted, but we still have all the best bits proving that Tay as a teen was just as cringey on social media as the rest of us: 

When you had very few options for your profile pic

Tay's first profiler was one of her showing off her 'spelling bee champion' t-shirt. 

Cool. 

When you could not deal with any pictures your friends uploaded of you 

"THAT IS SICK TAKE IT DOWN."

"I want it off NOW.

"but I loove you."

Passive aggressive Taylor is the best.

When it was okay to get deep on the internet 

Yes, this was written by the same lyrical genius that wrote Blank Space. 

When you could be publicly weird with your friends and did not care 

"Well, anyway, listen my queer fellow. I thinketh we shall hangeth out sometime soon."

Before social media was all about being to coolest version of yourself 

When affection for your pals could have been misconstrued for actual stalking 

Hey pal, if you're looking for me I'm in the white van outside your house… 

And finally when you and your BFF's inside jokes just looked downright absurd 

Because f*ck sewing machines, am I right?

We’ve been staring longingly at the blank gable-end wall on the corner of George’s St and Dame St since Joe Caslin’s Marriage Equality mural was washed away by rain back in May. And finally, ten months on, the space has been filled again – for a very good reason.

A new mural appeared on the wall above Rick’s Burgers overnight in honour of International Women’s Day and the 1916 Rising.

Created by Irish artist Gearóid Ó’Dea, the 10m high street art installation features three women who each played a pivotal part in the Easter Rising: Countess Markievicz, Margaret Pearse and Grace Gifford-Plunkett.

The piece was drawn in full colour using pencils and watercolours by Gearóid, before being digitally reproduced on a large scale for the purpose of the mural.

In choosing the three subjects, Gearóid says he wanted to reflect all sides of Irish history, the good and the bad.

“I feel that, taken together, each of these women strike a balance. Each played a different kind of role in the Rising. Some are well remembered, others not.”

The image shows the three women woven together by strands of their hair, something which Gearóid considers an important piece of symbolism.

"For me, the texture of the hair suggests a toughness, a gentleness, and something more mysterious. Hair was an important symbol in Celtic mythology, empowering and magical. As a composing element in this piece, it feels right."

Check out the new piece now – before the rain gets to it.
