Do you reckon you know your best friend's taste in an other half better than she does?

Well, Tinder is currently testing out a new feature that will allow you to recommend the profiles of potential matches that you think your pal would just adore. 

The beloved dating app is making plans for a button that will allow you to share a profile with another pal who is on the app. 

That friend will then be able to log into their own account and swipe yes or no to their friend's recommended profile. 

"We are testing the ability to play matchmaker on Tinder," the company wrote in a blog post.

"While swiping through potential matches, a small group of users may see the option to share a profile they come across."

Once you click the share button on a match you think would suit your pal, the app will generate a link to that profile which will be sharabke via text and perhaps instant messaging services such as WhatsApp. 

The link will then expire after 5 clicks or 72 hours. 

It will be so nice to take the credit for all of our friends' blossoming relationships from here on out.

Miley Cyrus has reportedly decided to ditch her party ways as she prepares to settle down with fiancé Liam Hemsworth. 

The 24-year-old popstar and her actor beau rekindled their romance over the festive period with many sources reporting that the engagement was back on.

According to insiders close to the star, Miley is cutting ties with any friends who could be considered to be a bad influence. 

"She either doesn't answer their calls or says she's not going out. Liam never liked that she got crazy, so Miley's making big changes," said an insider to US Weekly. 

"She doesn't want to screw it up. She has been cooking and cleaning for Liam, waiting on him hand and foot.

"She wants to make sure she keeps him."

The pair, who split back in 2013 after a three-year romance, are currently residing in Liam's Malibu home. It was reported last month that Miley had bought a house next door the the Hunger Games star's home to be closer to him. 

The source said: "They know what they have is real. Miley needed some time to grow up, but she feels ready for this now."

Pop princes Years & Years have re-released their single Desire now featuring Tove Lo and complete with a shiny new video. 

And according to frontman Olly Alexander, the new video is looking to celebrate the entire spectrum of sexuality. 

"Most of the pop videos I’ve seen that have any male and female interaction are usually centred around a romance, and that’s great," said Olly in an open letter to Facebook. 

"I am all for romance, but let’s face it there are a lot of other sexualities and identities that are well deserving of some shiny pop video love."

The openly gay singer and actor had wanted to embrace his sexuality through music for some time. 

"I’ve been wanting to make a video with some of my queer family for a long time and Desire felt like the right time to do it.

"I wanted the video to feel sexy. Everyone has a different definition of what they find sexy, so why do we so often get given one version of what sexy is time and time again?

"Is there a rulebook for men and women on how to feel sexy or what sexy is?

For me, whoever it is, two women, two men, a group of gender-queer people, it’s all cute. It can all be a positive and a joyful expression of sexiness and sexuality, you don’t have to be a specific gender to enjoy it.

While we are all for celebs changing up their look from time to time, we can't say we were expecting this drastic change from actress and comedienne Rebel Wilson. 

The 36-year-old has ditched her flowing blonde locks in favour of a new daring shade. 

And that shade is bright orange. 

We can't say that this is our favourite look for the Pitch Perfect actress who usually rocks a gorgeous shade of blonde. 

Rebel was snapped leaving a Beverly Hills salon with her new 'do but it has not been confirmed whether the look is for a role or a personal change for the star. 

The Australian actress has been on a whirlwind promotional tour for her latest flick How to be Single and she is due to begin production for Pitch Perfect 3 in the next few months. 

We love Rebel but we kind of hope this look is for a film or else just a transitionary colour.

Fans were left guessing last night as Adele wore a giant diamond sparkler on her wedding finger sparking rumours that she may be engaged to partner Simon Konecki. 

The Hello singer took the capital by storm last night as she gave an emotional performance that blew everyone away at the 3 Arena. 

While on stage, the 27-year-old told the crowd that her partner of five years had actually flown into Dublin to surprise the singer. 

However, she admitted she was too busy prepping for the big show to spend much time with Simon so hopefully they will get to enjoy some downtime in Ireland today with little Angelo ahead of her second concert tonight.

Meanwhile, attendees gushed over the singer's stellar performance and even the toughest of Irish celebrities couldn't help but shed a tear. 

Amy Huberman shared a gas snap to her Instagram yesterday of husband Brian O Driscoll apparently getting a bit emosh while attending the concert last night. 

 

Uh oh. Someone got emosh at Adele

Reports have confirmed today that TV presenter Laura Whitmore and her boyfriend of just a few months, Rory Williams, have decided to split. 

The news comes just a week after rumours circulated that Laura had enjoyed a flirtatious night out with notorious Hollywood bachelor, Leonardo DiCaprio at the BAFTA's. 

"Things haven’t worked out with Laura and Rory. Some of her friends think they are still going out but he’s getting on with his music and doing his own thing," a source told the Mirror. 

"What happened with Leo didn’t help the situation either. It just created a lot of unwanted attention."

Meanwhile, Laura has admitted that the publicity surrounding her alleged night out with the Oscar winner had been tough.

"I’m going out with someone. I promise I didn’t stay in Leo’s room all night!” she told 3am

However, Laura is getting over the split by hitting the slopes for a ski trip this week while the Sunset Sons frontman is back on his UK tour. 

The pair met last summer at a music festival and Rory had taken a trip to Ireland to meet the family over the Christmas break.

When are people going to remember that getting naked on ancient monuments is simply not okay. 

Two men were arrested yesterday for taking photos in the complete nip on the ancient site of Machu Picchu in Peru. 

The British and French men were put before a judge in court and formally charged with moral misconduct and all for a Facebook cover photo. 

The South American heritage site increased police presence in 2014 as a pattern of streaking and nude photos became synonymous with the area. 

And it seems they are now taking the offence very seriously. 

"Stripping naked at Machu Picchu probably isn't a great idea, unless you want to be removed from the citadel and possibly face criminal charges," said a rep for Ferter Peru Travel to the Telegraph. 

"Prudish perhaps, but those are the rules."

Yikes!

A 3-year-old has been touring the country on a mission to realise his dream of becoming a police officer. 

Following a big day out at the Garda HQ in Dublin back in September, Ceejay McArdle has been travelling across the country helping the Gardaí out on their daily duties. 

And judging from his Facebook page, he is doing a darn good job too. 

The Monaghan native suffers from leukaemia and is to be undergoing rigorous treatment until 2018. 

But that's not stopping him from having his moment with local police officers who have been taking the sick child under their wing and welcoming him onto the force. 

From sectioning off crime scenes to making arrests, we reckon Ceejay definitely has a future in the business. 

"Castleblayney's youngest Garda recruit and cancers worst enemy!!" reads his social media page and we can't help but agree.

Even though we reported yesterday that this relationship has officially ended, it seems that drama follows Celebrity Big Brother stars Stephanie Davis and Jeremy McConnell around. 

After Jez finally admitted that he did in fact cheat on her while she was still in the CBB house, Stephanie reportedly broke things off with the Irish model. 

However, it would seem that she did not take the news well as she was hospitalised yesterday over a severe asthma attack. 

While all the drama has been unfolding at home, Steph had been doing some promotional work over in in Majorca when she fell ill. 

"Stephanie was admitted to hospital yesterday after suffering an asthma attack. She is currently recovering," said a spokesperson for the actress to the Daily Mail. 

"Stephanie was panicked after having a really bad stress-induced asthma attack," added a friend. 

"She always travels with her inhaler but didn't have it with her yesterday whilst working so had to be admitted to hospital for stabilisation.

"She's recovering now and feeling much better. It was very scary."

Close pals of the star revealed that Jeremy's confession of cheating was a huge surprise to the former Hollyoaks star. 

"Jeremy has point blank denied this until his TV appearance and so it was a massive shock to her when he appeared and announced that without giving her any warning."

The revelation came after Steph was given a first hand confirmation of the cheating rumours from the girl in question, 19-year-old dancer Caroline Pope.

If we know one thing about British actor Benedict Cumberbatch, it is that he is adored by a significant legion of (predominantly female) fans. 

So yeah, we reckon the so-called Cumberbitches are all over this seasonal treat. 

Because this Easter you can officially buy a Cumberbunny, which is exactly what it sounds like; a chocolate bunny adorned with Benedict's handsome face. 

And it looks friggan' delicious. 

However, if you thought it would be cheap to nab a edible version of the 39-year-old actor's face, you would be wrong because the tasty treat would set you back over €60.

Still, if you adore a bitta Benedict, it may just be worth it.

Ireland's west coast will once again be home to a blockbuster Star Wars cast and crew this summer, with preparations in motion for Lucasfilm to return to Kerry.

Skellig Michael, off the coast of Kerry, featured prominently in the final scenes of Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens, and according to new reports, the cast will return to film at Ceann Sibéál on the Dingle Peninsula for Episode VIII.

Building contractors have already begun installing a 1.5km metal roadway to facilitate the transportation of filming equipment to the remote area.

Although the Irish Film Board is keeping official details of the filming plans under wraps, RTÉ note that – according to local knowledge – the cast are expected to film there for at least two weeks in May.

Local landowners have been asked to enter into access agreements with Lucasfilm, while hotel and holiday accommodation owners have also been made aware of the plans.

Star Wars: Epiosde VIII will be directed by Rian Jackson and will see Episode VII cast members Domhnall Gleeson, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Daisy Ridley and John Boyega returning, with Benicio Del Toro, Laura Dern and Kelly Marie Tran all rumoured to be on board.

Mean Girls is arguably the greatest teen comedy of our generation, so naturally it simply needed to be turned into a musical. 

Thankfully, the film's creator Tina Fey agrees and has admitted in an interview that she is working on it. 

We may not have many details yet, but it's safe to say that it is going to be sensational, right Regina? 

K. 

"My husband [composer] Jeff Richmond and I, [along with lyricist] Nell Benjamin, have been working on it," said Tina when asked about the project. 

Obviously, our dying wish is to see Jingle Bell Rock performed on-stage as part of a Mean Girls stage-show, so we are all over this. 

But unfortunately Tina remained tight-lipped when asked for more details about the project. 

And we all know that is why her hair is so big right now (it's full of secrets).
