A suspicious package was found this morning near Store Street Garda Station.

A man in his 40s has been arrested and searched after he was spotted in the Store Street area. He has been taken to Irishtown Garda Station for more questioning.

The Luas Red Line and Busaras bus station were closed down, as well as The Jacobs Inn Hostel. The hostel was evacuated around 6.30am, when the alarm was raised.

A garda spokeswoman said: "Gardai have closed off a road after an incident this morning and the Army Bomb Disposal Team attended the scene."

The road has now been re-open but commuters are expected to be delayed if travelling by train or on the Luas Red Line.

We absolutely love the Irish fans over in France at the moment.

They're just going about their days singing, dancing, and catching up with ex-Boyzone singers.

Yep, in the latest video of the Irish at the Euros 2016, Keith Duffy is in the middle of a huge group of fans and he's having the time of his life.

Spotted on Joe.ie, he starts singing No Matter What, and it's like no version you've ever heard before.

We love it. Gwan' the Irish!

North West had a very special day yesterday, as she celebrated her third birthday.

And it was no picnic garden party for the tot either. Nope, her mam, Kim, treated her to a party in DISNEYLAND.

The reality family and their little ones spent the entire day in the theme park, and of course Nori busted out one of her princess costumes.

 

Thank you @disneyland for making all of my princess dreams come true today!

We hope they all had a great day.

Well, Taylor Swift has swiftly moved on from her former flame, Calvin Harris.

Just weeks after splitting from her DJ boyfriend, Tay has found new love – in the shape of Tom Hiddleston.

Last night, pictures surfaced online of the singer kissing and getting very cosy to the Thor star. They were taken during a romantic day out at the beach on Rhode Island

According to People, Calvin was "unaware" of his ex-girlfriend's budding romance, and honestly, we can't believe it either!

The pair apparently had an instant spark when they met at the Met Gala.

A source told The Sun: "Tom has been courting Taylor since they met – he sent her flowers. She's been won over."

Congrats to one of our favourite celebrity couples! Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher have announced that they are expecting baby number two.

The couple confirmed their family is about to get a little bigger now that Mila is pregnant with the couple's second child, according to People.

In a recent Interview with Entertainment Tonight, the expectant mother said: “Having this little human to raise … it was a balancing act, and then you learn how to be a great partner, and a great wife, and a great woman, and be yourself, and still be responsible for a living child. It’s definitely a learning process.”

The pair were married last July after welcoming their first child, Wyatt Isabelle in 2014.

Huge congratulations to Mila, Ashton and little Wyatt who is soon to be a big sister.

The body of a two year old boy has been found by divers in Florida some 16 hours after he was snatched by an alligator at his Disney World hotel.

The child's body was intact upon discovery, authorities said at a press conference, meaning it was likely he drowned during the attack. 

The boy has now been identified as Lane Graves, the 2-year-old son of Matt and Melissa Graves, who hailed from Nebraska. 

He, his parents, and his four-year-old sister have been at the resort since Sunday and were at an outdoor movie night when the tragic event happened.

Local sheriff Jerry Jennings said he and a Catholic priest broke the news to them: “Of course, the family was distraught, but also I believe somewhat relieved that we were able to find their son’s body," the law enforcement officer said in the aftermath.

The youngster had seemingly been paddling in the lagoon attached to his hotel yesterday evening when the reptile attacked as his family looked on.

Local authorities had already stated that the child was unlikely to have survived the terrible incident. 

Disney has reportedly closed all the beaches at its resort in the aftermath.

This is the first reported alligator-related fatality of 2016 in Florida.

The boy was playing on the the Seven Seas Lagoon beach, a man-made body of water open to Disney guests, when he was taken by an alligator and dragged into the water.

His father Matt reportedly went in after him and fought to try to save his son, but he was unable to do so, and was injured in the process.

According to Reuters, a professional team of some 60 people were involved in the subsequent location of the child's body. 

US authorities have captured and killed five alligators in the area as part of their investigations.

It's been a year since girlband G.R.L. announced they were parting ways after struggling to recover from the tragic death of band member Simone Battle.

But, according to the Mirror, the Ugly Heart hit-makers – who were last seen touring with Meghan Trainor in Australia – are set to reunite.

A brief statement on the band's management's website says: "G.R.L. are back. Watch this space."

When 25-year-old Simone Battle died by suicide in 2014, her bandmates were determined to continue making music and performed the song Lighthouse in her memory.

But nine months later their management released a statement to Billboard stating they were breaking up.

It read: "Nearly nine months following the tragic death of band member Simone Battle, girl group G.R.L. announces today that they are disbanding. We wish them continued success in each of their next creative endeavors."

Although the details of their reunion are not yet known, we're excited to hear that the girls are back together.

If you or anyone you know has been affected by suicide or simply want to talk, you can contact Samaritans in Ireland here.

Ever had time to kill in the hospital but could find nothing to do?  

Well Australian beauty blogger, Mollie Makeup, has found the perfect solution – get your brows tinted while you wait.

When her planned caesarean section was delayed on Friday, makeup guru, Mollie Harwood, decided to go for a wander around the hospital and just so happened to stumble across a beauty salon (as you do).

 

What to do when you're waiting to have a c-section….  #beautytreatments #eyebrows #39weeks #imready !!!

A photo posted by m o l l i e H a r w o o d (@mollie_makeup) on

Since she had conveniently forgotten to have her brows tinted before she checked-in, Mollie decided to treat herself and live video stream the process for her Facebook followers.

In the video – which has since been shared thousands of times – the hair and makeup artist explains: "Of course nothing with babies ever goes to plan so I arrived here thinking that I was going in probably, I don’t know, 10.30/11 o’clock to have a caesar and no, that is not happening.”

“So I decided to go for a wander in the hospital and I found a beauty salon.”

“And one thing I forgot to do before I came into hospital was get my eyebrows tinted…so this amazing woman is tinting my eyebrows.”

The brunette from New South Wales eventually gave birth to baby Bronte on Sunday – with her brows perfectly in tact.

Now just to find this magical hospital-come-salon…

While retail therapy is definitely up there as one of our favourite pastimes, there are times when we have arrived home from a shopping spree feeling more stressed than we ever thought possible.

Form crowded fitting rooms to mile-long queues, sometimes the search for a new dress can be more effort than it's actually worth.

Thankfully, the good folk at Zara have realised that we need a bit of a helping hand in this department, and have decided to introduce a few features which will make the day of any regular shopper.

According to Refinery 29, the store plans to kit out their fitting rooms with touch screens meaning that the awkward half-dressed mooch back to the shop floor for another size will soon be a thing of the past.

Oh, and those queues that make you want to simply drop to your knees and howl?

They will be replaced by a collection of self-service tills which means if the person in front of you really DOES want to shoot the breeze with the shop assistant, they can still do so, but you don't have to suffer behind them for fifteen agonising minutes.

While the features have been introduced in various branches of the popular store, it may be some time before they reach the Emerald isle, but that doesn't mean we can't celebrate, right?!

Ladies, it's definitely a step in the right direction!

It's been two years since Jeremy Meeks' mugshot sent the internet into meltdown and now the man affectionately known as "Hot Mugshot Guy" has released his first professional headshot.

The Californian felon – who has been locked up in a Nevada prison for felon weapon charges since 2014 – became an internet sensation when his mugshot received over 100,000 likes after being posted to Stockton Police Department's Facebook page.

The attention won the father-of-three a $30,000 modelling contract with White Cross Management before he was even released.

The new picture was posted to Meeks' official Instagram account yesterday and shows the former gang member wearing a Golden State Warriors peaked cap while staring straight into the camera.

Before his March release, Meeks' agent Jim Jordan told the Mail Online that the 32-year-old had been inundated with work-related requests.

He said: "We have major, major fashion brands, designers on the table. We have movies on the table, we have book deals on the table, we have reality non-scripted television on the table, we have pilots on the table, we have club openings in Dubai, Vegas and all over the world."

"We have royalty wanting Jeremy as a special guest in their palaces – we have major, major requests from Japan to Australia, Russia to Dubai, to all the ends of the earth."

But before you get as excited as Meeks' agent, it might be worth noting that the "man who launched a thousand memes" seems to still be under house arrest.

Last night he shared another image on his account which was captioned: "Count down #housearrest #bayarea."

So, it might be a while before we see Meeks and his pale blue eyes shooting in any glamorous locations.
