Look, there's no denying that Netflix smash-hit, Stranger Things, came totally out of left field and knocked us all for six this summer.

And if you still find yourself marvelling at the cast, the story's arc or the wonder that was Dustin, you're not alone.

In fact, you're in pretty good company as Aaron Paul of Breaking Bad fame is right there with you.

Having been given the opportunity by Elle to interview Millie Bobby Brown who plays Eleven in the sci-fi show, Aaron did what any of us would do – he fangirled all over himself.

According to the magazine, Aaron chatted with Millie over the phone earlier this month, and was unable to keep his chill for even one minute.

"First of all, I love you," he told Millie after thanking her for taking the phone call. "I have to start this off by saying that I'm just such a massive fan of yours."

"I mean, really, from one actor to another, I have such incredible respect for you. I really admire your work," he told the British-born actress.

After Millie revealed that she always felt she wanted to do something creative, Aaron responded:  "I'm so happy that you found this passion inside of you. A group of friends and I have a group chat in which we only discuss Stranger Things and how cool Eleven is."

Sounding genuinely awestruck, Aaron told Millie that her name constantly pops up in discussion in his home.

"I gotta tell you: My wife and I are constantly talking about you," he revealed. "We're constantly saying, 'Her parents must be so proud!' To be honest, we wish that you were our child."

And instead of pretending that the line was suddenly super dodgy before abruptly hanging up, Millie simply laughed, replying: "I wish you were my parents!"

Now, that girl has chill.

Today, two Irish women have made the decision to live-tweet their journey to the UK to seek abortions.

Beginning at 4am this morning, @TwoWomenTravel shared poignant photos of an Aer Lingus airplane, a handwritten note and the interior of a taxi – all of which they directed at Enda Kenny.

As discussion surrounding the Repeal the 8th debate continues to rage, they wrote: "We stand in solidarity with all women exiled by @EndaKennyTD, his predecessors, his apologists. #twowomentravel."

"Pretty ordinary sights, in a place away from home. Can't say it's comforting, though," they added of another shot.

And Twitter users, including The Late Late Show's James Corden, have been coming out in their droves to support them.

"Today, @TwoWomenTravel but you're not on your own in this. So many people are with you," he wrote in response to their decision to document the journey thousands of Irish women are forced to embark upon every single year.

Lending their support to the two women, members of the public have shared the #repealthe8th hashtag online while encouraging others to do the same.

 

 

 

 

It is understood that the two women will continue to share their journey until their return home to Ireland tomorrow.

The Rugrats was an integral part of anyone growing up in the nineties, with so many characters to love and admire (Angelica you're a queen). 

Sadly, the actor who voiced our beloved Stu Pickles, father to Tommy and Dil, has passed away. 

Jack Riley

Jack Riley died yesterday after a battle with Pneumonia and infections, at the age of 80. 

Jack appeared on more than 140 episodes of The Rugrats, reprising the role in the 1998-2003 movie trilogy and also several episodes of follow-up series All Growed Up! 

Jack Riley is survived by his wife Ginger Lawrence, and their two children. 

May he rest in peace.

In a recent interview, Jonah Hill admitted to winding up in hospital while filming The Wolf of Wallstreet.

The 32-year-old actor said he contracted bronchitis due to the large volume of vitamin powder he snorted while making the 2013 film.

I think we all remember how much fake cocaine Jonah was doing throughout that film… *spoiler alert: a lot of it*

Jonah played party-loving stockbroker, Donnie Azoff, alongside his good friend Leonardo Di Caprio, who played the infamous Jordan Belfort. 

During an appearance on American talk show Any Given Wednesday with Bill Simmons, Jonah said: "We were literally doing fake coke for, like, seven months, every day. I never had more vitamin D in my entire life; I could have lifted a car over my f***ing head."'

While the movie set was a drug free zone, Jonah admitted that "if you ingest that much matter into your lungs, you will get very sick."

Jonah was brought to hospital while filming, where he was treated for bronchitis.

Jonah is set to play another drug-fueled character in his new movie War Dogs, where he plays Efraim Diveroli, a real life arms dealer. 

War Dogs will hit Irish cinemas on August 26, 2016, and we can't wait!

A sub-franchise of a well-known chain of American gyms has come under fire recently after suggesting, in no uncertain terms, that women who rock the classic pear shape may want to get their head in the game and start changing it.

And people are, unsurprisingly, raging.

Taking to Instagram to highlight the offensive ad, Little Miss Sunshine star, Abigail Breslin, reminded the gym that women shouldn't feel pressured to work out purely to fit a gym's unrealistic beauty ideal.

"Wow honestly disgusted by this @goldsgym you should be ashamed of yourselves," she began in a post which has been liked thousands of times this week.
 

"Things like this are the reason 9 year old girls develop eating disorders," Abigail added. "Working out should be something you do for yourself, your health and your mind & body, not cuz a corporation declares your body shape isn't what girls should look like." (sic)

Grateful she didn't become a member of the gym, Abigail finished by writing: "Interesting they had to single out females. Good job for preying on people's insecurities and perpetuating body image issues!"

Like the actress, the public wasted no time sharing their views of the ad online.

 

 

Responding to the barrage of criticism they faced at the hands of outraged internet users, Gold's Gym have assured the public they will be taking immediate action against their Egyptian franchise.

Too little, too late?

Yesterday, the good folk at Met Éireann told us that we'd likely be in for a wet and windy weekend, but we're a hopeful bunch and crossed our fingers that it was just a a passing blip.

And then this morning they issued a status yellow weather warning.

In place up until 6pm today, the warning affects Wexford, Clare, Cork, Kerry, and Waterford and comes after violent winds and heavy, thundery rain rocked the country last night.

Hot on the heels of Met Éireann's forecast, the Republic's police force took to Twitter to offer similar advice.

In words which would be music to our ears on a weekday but are much, much less appealing as we kick off the weekend, an Garda Síochána basically advised us to sit this one out.

"It wet and windy out there. Unless like us you have to get up I'd suggest turning over for another snooze. If you have to go out be safe," they wrote. (sic)

"Will do, wouldn't want to get done for refusing to follow the direction of a Garda," responded one Twitter user.

Further to this, forecasters have urged anyone planning trips to the seaside to exercise caution due to high spring tides, aggressive sea conditions, and strong winds.

And if you need us, we'll be back in bed… the Guards told us.

Fans were totally shocked today when Sarah Harding appeared on This Morning, donning a very different look.

She has been very vocal about growing old naturally in the past, but now her fans aren't so sure she's staying true to her word.

When her segment was over, her followers flocked to social media to call out the singer:

However, the presenters copped on to what was happening and asked her outright if she had anything done to her face.

And to be honest, her answer was a bit wishy-washy.

"As a woman, as we're getting older we all start to become a little more insecure, that's all part of growing old and growing up. We should embrace it!"

She then tried to crease her forehead to show she has no botox in her face.

It looks like Olly Murs is throwing a bit of shade at the X Factor since he's going to be performing on Strictly Come Dancing – Simon Cowell's arch nemesis in the TV world.

RadioTimes.com has confirmed that Olly and another former X Factor contestant, Rebecca Ferguson, will both appear as musical guests at the launch of the series.

Now, we all know that nearly everyone in the UK and Ireland have to do an annual swapathon with the channels, but Strictly is looking to take the top spot on Saturday September 3, when the first episode of the series will air.

And with Daisy Lowe, Anastacia, Ed Balls, Will Young, Louise Redknapp and Danny Mac all taking part, we're really looking forward to it.

When celebs go on Big Brother, it's safe to say the producers fork out thousands upon thousands to get big names on the show.

But, we're pretty shocked about the amount Stephen Bear is taking home when the show ends. 

With some contestants raking in six-figure sums, Stephen is only getting a measly £12,000.

When Bear's amount was leaked last night, there was outrage on Twitter since Christopher Biggins (he was kicked off the show for causing widespread offence) walked away with £150,000.

However, apparently Bear doesn't seem to mind the difference and is more focused on "long-term success."

Speaking to The Sun, an insider said: "He knew he would be one of the stars of the show and really pushed for a bumper pay cheque but the producers wouldn't budge.

"[Bear] had hoped he would be able to cash in with big bucks magazine deals with his girlfriend after leaving the house, having split with his manager and signed to the same management team as Lillie to make it happen.

"But now that he has cheated on her with Chloe Khan he will have to work hard to build the relationship back up again."

Ah Bear, you screwed yourself up big time.

*Some users may find these images distressing*

A warning has now been issued to pet owners in the Cork area, after a family dog was attacked seemingly for no reason while he lay in his own back-garden.

In a heart-wrenching post on an animal charity's Facebook page, images of the injured pet were afterwards posted – prompting an outraged response from hundreds of people. 

Shared via Arc – Animal Rescue Cobh – it read: "Word of caution to any dog owners in Cobh – it's a fright to God when you can't even keep your own family dog out in the back garden without him being abused.

"Our family dog who wouldn't hurt a fly has been minding his own business in the back garden when some lowlife poured some sort something over him which has been described by the vet as a sort of chemical.

"The holes in his back are from someone poking him with an iron through the fence.

"So everyone please keep an eye on your dogs and if you see any suspicious activity around a house please report to the Gardai! We are absolutely devastated that someone would do this to our dog."

In response, Peta Ireland has also offered up a €2,000 reward for information that leads to the discovery of the perpetrators of the vicious attack.

"It's imperative that any community faced with a cruel and callous act such as this take measures to find the culprit and bring him or her to justice," Peta's Elisa Allen said.

"Animal abusers are a danger to everyone – they take their issues out on whoever is available to them, human or non-human – and must be caught before they act again."

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Garda Confidential Line on 1800-666-111.

When Catfish first came onto MTV, we were shocked by what some people can do behind their computer screens.

However, it was a good learning tool, and thought us to be more careful about talking to strangers online.

Yet, this man mustn't have got the message because for the past six years, he thought he was dating Katy Perry.

Yes, the world-famous Katy Perry.

Spencer Morrill was convinced he was in a relationship with the star, despite only speaking to her over the phone once.

He appeared on the show this week and told Nev and Max: "It was an immediate connection. A million 'I love yous' back and forth. It was pretty cool.

"I would like to meet face to face and see if there's a future here."

Spencer and the false Katy had been texting and emailing for years and he even made her an engagement ring which he said cost him "25 percent of his savings."

Oh, and that one phone call? That set him back nearly 300 quid.

As the show goes, Nev and Max did some digging and found out that Spencer was actually talking to a woman called Harriet from the UK.

Nev broke the news: "We've found the person you've been talking to beyond really any shred of doubt, and you still want to believe the thing that makes you happier. You need to know that you're not talking to Katy Perry."

When Harriet and Spencer came face to face she eventually apologised for her actions.

"I'm like genuinely sorry. I can't change what I did, but I understand that it was really wrong," she said.

Drama, drama, drama!
