Every single time we think Carpool Karaoke can't possibly get any better, James Corden goes and pulls it right out of the bag, doesn't he?

After snagging the Red Hot Chili Peppers for The Late Late Show's hugely popular music segment, James and the lads cruised LA while belting out the band's biggest hits…as well as some lesser known, much more questionable ones.

Between demanding to know what the lads meant by specific lyrics – 'What have you got that you're going to give to my mum?' – to revealing he loves a good man wrestle, James is clearly pumped that he's getting to shoot the breeze with one of the industry's biggest acts.

Proving the excitement may have gotten too much for him, James even strips off while rocking The Zephyr Song, and frankly we're all over it.

Chili fans, you need to prepare yourself for this one because it's as epic as you'd expect.

We're not able to count how many days we stared at the TV screen for hours playing Crash Bandicoot.

Apart from Pokémon, it was the game of our childhood. And now, it's coming back.

Yes, any Crash Bandicoot fans better be ready for the revival of the game on PlayStation4, which is coming out later this year.

Sony made the announcement at its E3 press event, where it said that all three Crash games are getting a major upgrade as well as an option to make your own player.

Have a look at the trailer here… So much better than what we used to play:

Narcos was one of them TV shows that you randomly started watching while bored one day on in Netflix. And then after binge-watching and being sucked into the show, it felt like there was a giant Narcos-sized hole left behind when it ended.

We've been there, but particularly with this series that gripped you from the very beginning.

Well, Hallelujah girls, because the season two teaser trailer has just landed, and even though it doesn't tell you much about the story (like nothing, at all), it does tell you when it's coming back to a Netflix screen near you.

In the video, you'll see Pablo Escobar looking very intense while staring down into the camera. Then three important dates pop up on the screen: 1/12/49 (the day he was born), 2/12/93 (the day he died) and 2/9/2016 (the day the series is coming back).

Have a look at the teaser here:

After almost a year apart, reality stars Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick have sparked rumours of reunion after they were spotted on a family trip together in Las Vegas.

After flying from LAX to Sin City via private jet, the former couple brought their three children – Mason, Penelope and Reign – to see Cirque du Soleil’s The Beatles LOVE show at the Mirage hotel.

Afterwards the pair brought six-year-old Mason to dinner with them, where they were described as being "all smiles and very happy" by a Us Weekly source.

The eyewitness said:  “They were relaxed and very loving…They were out to have fun as a family and made sure Mason did too."

After the meal, Kourtney attended Scott's appearance at 1 Oak nightclub – where he regularly acts as host – with Kourtney's sister Khloe and family friend Malika Haqq.

But before you get too excited over the apparent rekindling of romance, a source revealed to Hollywood Life that the pair are not together and that Scott is actually seeing a number of different women.

 

Another great night last night with #ScottDisick and friends! Join us tonight for @djgusto Saturday's! #EndedUpAt1OAK

The source said: “Scott and Kourtney aren’t together…Scott still has a stable of girls he’s seeing. They are committed to being good co-parents together and that’s it."

"He drives her nuts sometimes and its not always easy but they do it for the sake of the kids. That includes going on amazing vacations together as a ‘family'."

"Mason likes Las Vegas, too. They all have a fun time. But that’s as far as it goes.”  Awh!

 

Happy birthday baby daddy!

And since Scott apparently believes in a Kardashian curse, we think he and Kourtney have a bit to go before they could possibly reunite.

Anyone who has ever taken part in the VHI Women’s Mini Marathon knows that it's definitely a day for the memory books.

Whether walking, jogging or running for yourself or for a family member, the annual June event in our capital city brings thousands together, and reminds us that when it comes to sport and charity, we have it absolutely nailed.

It's been a week since this year's Women's Mini Marathon, and with some of us still nursing blisters and others still pumped after trumping their personal best, this Facebook upload has given us ALL the feels.

Shared on the VHI Women's Mini Marathon Facebook page yesterday, the short vid captures the excitement and enthusiasm generated by this incredible summer event.

Can you spot yourself?

This is possibly one of the best fan videos to come from the Euros 2016 so far.

Instead of fighting with the team playing against us, or having a bar brawl, our fans over in France decided to take part in a huge rendition of Dancing Queen, and we totally nailed it.

In the video, a Swedish fan is seen holding up speakers, while the ABBA song pours out through them, and always the ABBA fan, a whole group of Irish joined in.

See, you can't bring us anywhere:

We’d be the first to admit that we’d be lost without our phones, but between the scaldy battery life and the constant messages which insist we’re out of storage, that thing can REALLY get on our last nerve.

Thankfully, however, it looks like the good folk at Apple have finally wised-up and realised most of us would rather hang on to cherished snaps than scroll through the Stocks app. (Who'd have thought it?!)

Yep, those whizzkids over in the States are now allowing us to delete the default apps we never use!

But instead of taking credit for this welcome move at Apple’s Worldwide Development Conference yesterday, the tech giant waited until savvy Apple-lovers noticed that the default apps could now be purchased on the App store.

That’s right, ladies, if you can purchase them on the App store that means you can delete them too!

Oh, and if that wasn’t enough good news, those tech superstars have also unveiled iOS10 which, among other things, offers users even more flexibility when it comes to its Messaging service.

From instantly replacing words with emojis to sending handwritten notes, this is the kind of tech wizardry we can definitely get on board with.

Check this out.

We're happy enough with our draw last night against Sweden, but something that's even better than that is the Irish flags sporting the streets of France at the moment.

Now, these flags aren't your usual green, white and orange, and they don't only sport the word, "Ireland" across them. No, these flags are so much better.

From taking the mick out of the team, to numerous amounts of Father Ted quotes, these are the best Irish flags from the 2016 Euros:

1. Every Irish person away on their holliers…

 

2. Well, that's one way to do it!

 

3. Obligatory Father Ted flag

 

4. ALL of us last night

 

5. Eamon <3

 

6. Shout out to Shane Long

 

7. This one was actually stolen during the match 🙁

 

8. The best thing, apparently…

 

9. For the year that's in it

 

10. He'll always have us covered

*UPDATE Wednesday, June 15, 12pm: Kane has now been found. His friends say he was attacked and robbed in Nice, but that otherwise he is well and safe. They have thanked everyone who shared the campaign for their support. 

 

The friends and family of soccer fan Kane Leslie are getting behind a social media campaign to locate him in Nice. 

The young Northern Irish man has been missing since Sunday afternoon and significantly missed his team's first Euro 2016 match against Poland.

It is believed that he has last seen heading towards the French costal city's beach.

Among those who retweeted the appeal was Calum Best, the socialite son of Belfast legend George, and radio presenter Colin Murray.

He has now officially been reported as a missing person to French police. A close friend – Steve Hudson – who is driving the campaign with the hashtag #findKane added on Twitter this morning that he believes Mr Leslie has lost his wallet.

Anyone with information about Kane's whereabouts is being asked to contact Steve on social media.

Yesterday, it was revealed that a young Northern Irish fan had become the first fatality of Euro 2016. Darren Rodgers, who was 24 and from Ballymena, fell 8metres to his death on Nice's beach promenade. 

As a mark of respect, Republic of Ireland fans stood up and applauded on the 24th minute of their team's game against Sweden yesterday evening.

When Britney Spears snuggled in for a selfie with Modern Family star, Ed O'Neill, we (like Brit) fangirled all over ourselves, but it turns out all was not as it seemed.

According to the man himself, he hadn't a bean who Britney was when she approached him for a quick pic at Los Angeles International Airport.

Commenting on the selfie which sent social media into overdrive last March, Ed, who plays Jay in the hit sitcom, said: "She came up and said, 'Oh, Mr. O'Neill, I love Modern Family, and you're my favourite on the show.' And I was like, 'Well, I'm here, I'm the only one here,'"

Insisting that that the Toxic singer was more than polite, Ed told Ellen DeGeneres: "So she sat there and we took it and I said, 'Have a nice trip, I’m going,' and I left."

"So the next day my manager texts me and goes, 'What is this? 53,000 likes. It's Britney Spears."

While the rest of us might recognise Britney Spears at a 1,000 paces, Ed admits the same couldn't be said for him that day.

"I mean, look at the look on my face – do I look like I'm sitting with Britney Spears? You know my daughter, Sophia, she said, 'You are a moron.'"

We hate to say it Ed, but we might be with Sophia on that one!

In the end of last night's match, Ireland drew 1-1 with Sweden, which will delight any Irish fan because that means we're one step further to the final. 

And if there's anything that will get you motivated to support our boys in green, it's Conor McGregor's call to Ireland.

The UFC champion urged the lads to show how tough they really are, and refuse to take any backwards steps in their games.

"These young pups were still in their nappies when you were knee deep in the trenches," is one of our favourite lines from Conor's message, but apart from that, he is carrying the spirit we all need to win.

Our next match is Saturday, June 18, where we will go head to head against Belgium. Let's hope Conor's message sinks in as we take on the next stage.
