Much and all as we'd love the Gallagher brothers to draw a line under their tumultuous past and decide to play a stormer of a gig at Croker (too far?), deep down we know that that pair are unlikely to ever really bury the hatchet.

The siblings, who fronted one of the biggest bands of our generation, have made no secret of their inability to get along, and despite going their separate ways back in 2009, it looks like they're still incapable of being civil towards one another.

Proving as much during an interview with the Toronto Sun, Liam revealed that after happening upon his brother at a Manchester City game, he decided to forego the hearty handshake in favour of a nipple twist.

As you do.

"I think it was a football match in 2013 or ‘14. A Manchester City match and he was in one box and I was in another box. And I was in one floor and he was in the floor below me.” Liam explained.

"I went into see him and I pinched his nipple and kissed him on the ear. I don’t think we spoke," he added.

Offering an insight into Noel's reaction to the bizarre exchange, Liam recalled: "I think he pulled one of his faces like he’s sucking a f*cking lemon.”

Sounds about right.

The days are getting shorter and the nights are getting longer. With winter upon us and it really is time to snuggle up and get cosy with all that the season has to offer. But hang on! Do you really need to spend the winter alone? Wouldn’t it be much better to have a snuggle buddy to cosy up to on the cold winter nights?

If you are feeling the winter blues and need someone to make you smile without braving the cold, wet and windy weather what about trying a dating site? That’s right. Spend those lonely nights chatting online with a potential partner and who knows, you may not be spending the evenings alone for long.

Step 1 – Sign up to a dating site

Possibly the most difficult part is actually biting the bullet and signing up to a dating site. You may have been contemplating it for a while but not actually plucked up the courage. What are you worrying about? With an online dating site, you are in control. You can visit this site to check all the benefits and see that you can choose who you want to talk to and when you want to talk to them and if they don’t turn out to be the right one for you then you can move on to meet someone else.

Step 2 – Build your profile

Once you have plucked up the courage or found the time to create an account, next you need to build yourself an online profile. You need to make yourself sound interesting without going overboard. Find a nice profile picture of yourself and write a bit about your likes and dislikes. Spend an evening with a friend getting them to help you. After all, it is much easier sometimes to hear what others have to say than trying to write about yourself. Get them to help you pick a profile picture as well. Remember, it doesn’t have to look like something that was taken in a professional studio. Set unrealistic expectations and you will spend hours getting ready for dates if you set the bar too high with lots of photo filters!

Step 3 – Wait for your matches

Dating sites are very clever and will use an algorithm (computer geek-speak for coding) to match you to others based on your age, gender, likes, dislikes, preferences, hobbies and interests. If only life were this simple all the time. Imagine if you could walk into a bar and give a list to the bartender of the single man or woman that you would like to meet – it would be as easy as ordering your drink. With an online dating site, it really is that simple. The computer will find people that you are likely to get along with and match you based on the information that you both give. You may have several matches, if this is the case you can decide which of them, if not all, that you would like to get to know better.

Step 4 – Get to know them better

Once you have chosen a person or people that you would like to get to know better than start chatting with them in an online chat room. This is the perfect place to get to know someone better from the comfort of your couch on a cold winter’s night. You can hide behind a screen without having to venture out in the cold for endless dates. Enjoy messaging, flirting, laughing and finding out more about one another. Once you are sure you would like to meet them you can then arrange a date. It couldn’t be easier.

Step 5 – Arrange to meet for your first date

So, you have been talking for a while. You feel like you have got to know the other person really well. You like the same things, you laugh at the same jokes and you are so intrigued that it is time to arrange your first date. Make sure you choose something that will suit you both; something that you will both enjoy. If you feel like you may need a quick escape then choose to meet for a drink. If you are confident that you are going to get along like a house on fire then you could meet for dinner or go to the cinema. The world is your oyster and who knows, you may end up meeting the man or woman of your dreams.

Mariah Carey has reportedly been dumped by her billionaire fiancé, James Packer, after a disagreement about her extravagant spending habits and new reality show.

According to Woman’s Day, the Australian businessman left the 46-year-old singer after falling out over her plans to expose their lifestyle on her new reality show, Mariah’s World.    

“It’s all over,” a family friend alleged.  “James had huge reservations about Mariah’s new reality TV show and the fact that she was willing to expose their lives to the world.”

The site states that 49-year-old James allowed Mariah to keep the $10 million diamond engagement ring her gave her in January this year after a whirlwind romance.

Those close to the Packer family are said to be unsurprised by the news as they have reportedly had reservations about the relationship since its inception last year.

A source said: “James is very generous but Mariah takes it to the next level.”

“When she refused to come to Australia for [James’ sister’s] birthday party it created a lot of tension in the family. His mum hated to even hear her name mentioned, and James’ tight circle of friends never really thought they would marry.”

Mariah cancelled most of her South American tour earlier this week.

Niall Horan is fast becoming the most-loved member of One Direction.

From his hilarious underwear selfie earlier today, to his bashful game of Who'd You Rather, we have to say that we're all over Niall at the moment.

The Mullingar native played the popular game on Ellen today, where you have to choose between two women on who you'd rather… do/be with (?).

He had to choose between a number of female stars including Taylor Swift, Rihanna and Demi Lovato.

However, it was Ellie Goulding who ended up winning the game.

Now, we all know that the pair are just really good friends, but wouldn't that romance be so sweet?!

Whether your flight is an hour long or seven hours long, it can be difficult to get comfy, and if you're stressed, all organisation might as well go out the window.

Between being up early (probably) to catch your plane, trying to have everything ready, and having to bull your way through the airport to get to your gate, all you want to do the minute you hit that plane seat is have a nap… but we all know how that goes. It's hella uncomfortable, rigid and down-right awkward.

However, this little genius pillow might just save the day.

See, it's not only a flight pillow, it has handy little compartments built in it as well. So now you can have a nice little snooze while keeping all your bits and bobs organised.

Say goodbye to searching your handbag for your passport! We love this little contraption.

Congratulations are in order for the Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants actress Amber Tamblyn and her husband, David Cross, as it has been revealed the couple are expecting a little girl.

Revealing her baby’s gender in a blog post for Glamour, Amber wrote how she has been thinking a lot about the world she is bringing her daughter into, saying: “Motherhood has been heavily on my mind because I am going to be a mother soon.” 

“I’m pregnant, with a daughter on the way. I think constantly about the world I am bringing her into. Will I get a phone call from my daughter someday, one she never wanted to make? Will I have to share with her my story, and the story of her great-grandmother’s words to her grandmother?”

About to welcome a little girl into her life it is no surprise that the 33-year-old has been thinking about women in today’s society, touching on the US election in particular.

 

Here is my latest piece for Glamour. It's personal and important, like this election. "Somewhere between Donald Trump calling Hillary Clinton a woman with “tremendous hate in her heart” and “a nasty woman,” I found myself making a phone call to my mother I was hoping I could avoid forever. A story I shared about an encounter with an ex-boyfriend had gone viral, and I feared she would read about it in the news. When I told her, my mother’s reaction was unshockingly unshocked. “You know,” she began, “I have a story of my own I want to share with you.” Go ahead and fill in the blank of my mother’s story. It’s easy, isn’t it? I was at a _____, and a guy ______. I was _____ years old and the father of one of my friends ______. I was at work and my boss __ ___. I was walking down the street and _ ____. I exist, therefore _______is bound to happen. On the phone, my mother ended with a second story. She told her mother what had happened to her, and I’ll bet you can fill in this blank, too. My grandmother’s response to my mother was, “Boys will be boys. You just have to be really careful around them.” This is what has passed for wisdom, what’s been handed down between women for generations. It continues today. It encourages women to take a backseat in their own lives, telling them it’s okay: men know how to drive and know what they’re doing. It tells us to shush, to not make a fuss, to accept the world as it was built for us. It tells us we shouldn’t ask for more than what we are given, from dollar bills to the Bill of Rights. Boys will be boys and girls will be, what? Quiet. Hungry. Subservient. Game. I’ve been thinking about motherhood a lot lately. What it means to be one, what it means to have one, what it means to know one, what it means to make decisions as one and have conversations as one. I am very lucky to be surrounded by strong mothers, from my own mom to some of my best friends—those who are raising young women to accept themselves and those who are raising young men to accept women.Motherhood has been heavily on my mind because I am going to be a mother soon. I'm pregnant, with a daughter on the way…" (article link in bio)

“After I’m done writing this, I’ll go back to my desk and fill out my absentee ballot. I’ll be voting for more than just a woman; I’ll be voting for a revolutionary idea. I’ll be voting for a future for my daughter where conversations about our bodies and our lives are broader than what value they have for men,” she adds.

“A future where being a mother is less about warning our daughters about our sons and is instead lifting them up to their greatest potential,” Tamblyn writes.

“A future where my girl will someday say, ‘Donald who?’ and think nothing is revolutionary about a woman becoming President. A future where she can’t even believe that was ever even a thing.”

Amber’s Glamour post comes not long after she shared her story of abuse on Instagram in response to Trump’s leaked tapes.

Tamblyn and her 52-year-old husband married in 2012 after dating for five years.

Aw, congratulations to the couple.

The Pretty Little Liars have filmed their last scene.

Today marked the official series wrap of PLL, and while we're heartbroken there's only ten episodes left, we are loving all of the tributes that the cast are writing to each other.

The creator of the show, I. Marlene King penned a final note to the cast and crew – her "PLL FAMILY."

"Today marks the series wrap on 'Pretty Little Liars,' my home away from home for the last seven seasons. When I call 'cut' on the very last scene, all five PLLs will be in the shot. 

"Tears will be spilled, gifts will be exchanged, and final memories will be made. The most meaningful gift, however, is that we call ourselves 'PLL Family' because that is how much we mean to each other.

 "In an age where technology often separates people, we used social media to bring them together. In season six, Spencer quoted A. A. Milne, author of 'Winnie the Pooh': 'How lucky I am to have something that makes saying good-bye so hard.' And those words have never spoken to me so loudly.
