YES! Bryan Cranston is returning to the world of illegal drugs once again. 

In his new movie The Infiltrator, he jumps to the other side of the war on drugs, as he will play a Special Agent. 

The four-time Emmy winner stars as real life Special Agent Robert Mazur, who helped take down Pablo Escobar's cocaine empire.

It's certainly one that's not to be missed, and judging by the trailer, Bryan puts on a brilliant performance:

They both recently shut down rumours that they had gotten married on the Greek island of Sifnos, but now, we think Kylie Minigue and Joshua Sasse could be wed.

The British actor took to Instagram and shared a poem that read, "To my wife."

Joshua posted a two-verse poem written by William Ernest Henley to promote poetry, but the title sent fans into absolute meltdown.

Whether they got married in secret, who knows, but we can't wait to see the dress! We just hope Kylie and Joshua are happy.

Singer and songwriter Bridy bewitched the nation at the age of 14 with her cover of Bon Iver’s Skinny Love, yet even with all the fame, she still has had to do a lot of growing up.

While her friends lived leisurely, teenage lives – studying, shopping, socialising – Birdy, at 19-years-old, has released three albums and toured the world.
 
Five years into her career and now a young adult, Birdy has flown the nest and moved to London which is a major change for her naturally shy personality.

Her new album, Beautiful Lies, chronicles a critical period of self-discovery and newfound independence for Birdy. This is the sound of a young woman stretching her wings and taking flight.

Due to popular demand, Birdy is playing a second show in Dublin's Olympia Theatre on October 26. Tickets will be on sale through Ticket Master on June 17 at €40.05.

It has been a week full of speculation that Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik had broken up —  there were multiple sources that confirmed it. But even though the sources were wrong, it's a pretty sticky situation to get out of.

However, the gorgeous couple figured out a way to put any more speculation aside. For the record, TeenVogue claim that they are totally 100% back together.

And how did they announce that they're seeing each other again? The same way they did it from the very start. They went outside holding hands and let the paparazzi do their thang

And they looked sassy AF while doing it too.

We just can't get enough of watching Princess Charlotte grow, and every time we see her she's even more like Kate.

The royal baby delighted crowds outside Buckingham Palace today, making her first appearance on the famous balcony as part of the Queen’s 90th birthday celebrations.

Princess Charlotte appeared on the balcony in Kate’s arms, while Prince William talked big brother Prince George through the festivities.

Of course, this is George’s second official appearance on the Palace balcony, and it seems he’s already well-seasoned in royal protocol – not one little bit of boldness in him!

The LIC (London Irish Crew) started up in 2014, when some of Ireland's biggest celebs met up in London to have a few pints.

This crew included the likes of Niall Horan, Bressie, Laura Whitmore and Eoghan McDermott as well as a few others.

However, in recent times, everyone has been mega busy leading their own lives, so LIC was supposedly no more… until now.

The gang all met back up again this week, and judging by Laura's Instagram snaps, they all had one hell of a time.

We've become so used to Kylie Jenner changing around her hair left, right and centre, so when it comes to Kendall, we always know that she will play it safe… until now.

The model has only gone and gotten her first BOB – and it's looking sooo good.

Well, what we can see of it anyway.

The reality star showed off the new do' on Snapchat, and we're hoping this isn't another wig game. We're so over them.

But, we're SO into this.

We'll be honest, sometimes when money is tight and we want to buy some wine, anything that's cheap and alcoholic will do. We've all been there, right?

Well, then it turns out that we're actually all geniuses!

According to Cosmo, the best wine in the world is £4.37 (€5.54), and you can pick it up in UK chain supermarket, Asda.

We kid you not.

The Decanter World Wine Awards were held this week, and over 235 judges and wine connoisseurs were blind-folded and asked to taste a huge range of wines.

Then came the La Moneda Reserva Malbec, which the judges said was the "ultimate crowd pleaser" and it won Best in Show.

So, there you go, cheap really is cheerful.

We all know that Simon is trying to give the X Factor back some life, and the tried and tested faces are hoped to bring the show back to what it was.

Yesterday, Louis Walsh, Sharon Osbourne, Nicole Scherzinger and Simon Cowell all posed together again, sitting at the iconic audition desk. Hurrah!

Louis, who quit the show in 2015, looks only delighted to be back in action, while Sharon and Nicole look ready for action.

We'll be happy to see them back on our TV screen!

Congrats are in order for Amy Huberman, she's just landed her next movie!

According to The Irish Sun, the mum-of-two has signed up for a role in ZOO.

ZOO is based on the true story of a Belfast girl named Denise Austin who saved an elephant's life during the bombings of 1941.

Denise was one of the first female zoo-keepers in Belfast at the time, which made her take action after RUC officers shot dead 23 animals incase they would escape during the time of the fighting.

 

Office for the day. Office has a leak. But the plumber is on the way.

However, she wouldn't let them shoot the elephant, Sheila, so Denise would bring her home and keep her in her garden before walking the animal back to the zoo each morning.

Amy will join a deadly cast, including Game of Thrones stars Art Parkinson and Ian McElhinney and Ian O’Reilly from Moone Boy.
