Enda Kenny will be the man turning on the lights of Dublin this Christmas.

Yay? Nope, sorry Enda, but you're not exactly the man to get the party started.

However, he's only going to be in one part of the city.

Taking to the north inner-city, which has been riddled with gangland-related crime in recent months, Enda wants to show residents that the Government is by their sides.

He recently visited the closed Garda station on Fitzgibbon Street which has been out of action for some time. Mr Kenny intends to re-open the station in the next year.

"It will be a very significant demonstration of the intention of the government. It’s just a stone’s throw from the unfortunate incidents in the area," he said.

The Christmas lights are going up in 30 streets around Dublin, and Enda has been the only person confirmed so far to turn the lights on.

Louise captioned the snap, "This is my life now," which we're sure many new mums can relate to. 

So far, Louise has been keeping her little tot under the radar, but revealed to Stellar that she might be more open with him in the future.

"I'll probably want to share about my baby, but I'll talk to my husband about it because he's quite private."

Fair enough, but we'd love to see some pictures of her adorable new addition!

Next up will be Bryan Cranston, who'll be chatting all about his new autobiography, which already sounds amazing.

Eddie Redmayne and LeAnn Rimes will also be sitting down the lads to talk about their various upcoming projects.

We can already see this show being an absolute belter.

It looks like Pippa Middleton isn't wasting anytime planning her upcoming wedding.

The 33-year-old only got engaged this year, yet she's due to tie the knot next May… and anyone who has planned a wedding will know those months will fly by.

Pippa was dating hedge fund manager James for less than six months when he popped the question with a £200,000 engagement ring.

According to People, sources close to her party planner say that she is "super excited" for her big day.

"They have a lot in common – he's charming and old-fashioned. Everyone thinks he's quite the catch."

It is believed Pippa will walk down the aisle in Bucklebury, the Berkshire home of her parents Carol and Michael.

"They will most likely host it in a marquee in their garden."

We just can't wait to see her dress!

It's safe to say, in this day and age, a lot of us are mighty impatient and will do anything to speed things up.

Many of us are guilty of pressing the 'close door' button when getting on a lift (because who wants to wait an extra 20 seconds for the door to close itself?!).

Well, it turns out that that button is actually a scam and hasn't worked on any elevator since the 1990s.

Say whaaat?

According to experts, the button is a fake and won't actually close your door faster – it's there to make you feel in control.

A disability act was passed by manufacturers in 1990 which states that a lift should remain open as long as possible to facilitate anyone with a disability, such as someone on crutches or in a wheelchair, who might need extra time walking onto the lift.

However, the button will work for emergency services, but only with a special key or code.

Karen W. Penafiel, executive director of National Elevator Industry Inc told The New York Times that it's still very important to have those buttons there… to boost self-esteem.

"Perceived control is very important. It diminishes stress and promotes well-being."

Well, there you go. Will you still press the button now even though you know it doesn't work?

Here at SHEmazing! Towers we were oh-so ridiculously excited to hear about The Eatyard, a foodie market arriving in time for Christmas in central Dublin.

And now things have just gotten pretty epic – because three seriously delicious offerings have been confirmed for the launch.

Kicking off on Thursday November 24 Box Burger – a popular staple on the Bray seafront in Co Wicklow – will be there serving great gourmet burgers and sides loaded with finger licking toppings.

Next there's Dublin Donut Company – handcrafted doughnuts made locally in the capital. And especially for The Eatyard, the DDC team has come up with a build-your-own ice-cream doughnut with glorious toppings including the likes of homemade Reeses Pieces. Yum.

Finally, the family-run Broughgammon Farm has also gotten on board. Specialising in goat, free range veal, and seasonal wild game, they're all about sustainable food sourcing. 

The Eatyard is setting up shop beside one of the capital’s best-loved bars, The Bernard Shaw, on South Richmond Street and frankly we're hungry just thinking about it.

So, not only can Adele sing, be funny and look fab, but she's also one Hell of a peacemaker!

Professor Green has opened up about his fight with Robbie Williams and has admitted that it was Adele who patched everything up.

The rapper fell out with Robbie after he pulled out of a collaboration. Robbie ended up choosing Dizzee Rascal instead of Pro G on a new track, which riled Green up.

Pro told The Sun: "We had a cuddle at Glastonbury while watching Adele. It was all down to Adele.

“I was p*ssed off that he wasted my time. But he sent me a really nice email saying sorry and it takes a proper person to apologise.”

We're glad they've patched everything up!

Spice bag speed dating. Something we thought we'd never say, but by God, it's a good idea.

The fab people of DCU's Science and Health society have set up the event which mixes "the spice and the shift."

The event is taking place in The Slipper (best place ever) just across the road from DCU campus on November 2.

DCU's Science and Health member Maddy Nelson told Goss: "We are always brainstorming ideas for new and fun events to put on for our members.

"We're big enthusiasts of both the spice and the shift and thought the two in combination would be the best thing DCU has seen!"

Two spice bag vouchers will also be given out to the couple who kiss first on the night (and we're not talking about a peck on the cheek).

Tickets are on sale in The Hub and are €5.

We've practically grown up with these girls, from watching them in secondary school, through to college and beyond.

It'll be sad to see the Pretty Little Liars leave our TV screens, but we bet the last ten episodes are going to be absolutely epic.

And now the cast of the show have permanently marked the end by getting matching tattoos.

The gals all headed out for dinner together, including Janel Parrish (Mona), to celebrate Troian's birthday and afterwards the gorgeous ladies went to a tattoo parlour.

They each got inked the first letter of their screen name… and staying true to PLL form, they got them on their finger which they make the 'sush' sign with.

PLL, you're breaking our hearts.

Whether it’s her daughter’s Instagram debut or the first time she started ‘cooking’, Chrissy Teigen is not shy about sharing her little one's milestones on social media.

However, Luna dressed up in a banana costume is definitely the BEST photo we have seen on Chrissy's Instagram.

Taking to the social media page yesterday, the mum-of-one was clearly having lots of fun dressing her six-month-old up for her very first Halloween.

While another said: "She will soon have an opinion and you won't get a chance like this again!!"
