Well, we've been rather distracted since the Late Late Show couch hosted not one but TWO home-grown hotties at the weekend.

Cillian Murphy AND Jamie Dornan… sure, look – where would ya be having it.

Anywho, upon repeat watching of the RTÉ One segment, we've been picking up the Murphy-Dornan gems that prove once and for all that the pair of 'em are just about the best things to happen to Ireland in a long time.

Case in point: that moment when – after a spot of protesting too much – Cillian admitted to having a full-colour copy of Jamie's arresting Calvin Klein advert in his downstairs loo (us too, Cill).

Host Tubs couldn't resist flashing up a black and white snap of the now-famous campaign (can't say we blame him), although in response Corkonian actor Cillian threw out something of a dig.

Through a wry smile, he uttered: "I've never seen that before," before adding: "And I never want to see it again!"

"Well for a start that's not true," Jamie himself continued by way of a reply. "I've been to your house."

"You know the little toilet you have under the stairs?" the Down-man asked. "Wallpaper!" he jested while signalling to his Anthropoid co-star.

Cillian's response?

"Nah, that's the colour version…" 

A spot of tongue-in-cheek banter? We're choosing to believe not, not least as every bathroom deserves a little bit a Jamie.

Watch the segment below:

It is safe to say there is never a dull moment in the world of Kanye West!

The latest drama has been sparked due to a controversial model casting-call for the rapper's upcoming fashion show.

In a tweet sent out by Kanye, "Multiracial women only" was outlined as one of the few criteria for potential models, which has sent social media into a frenzy. 

The models were also asked to arrive make-up free, and to "come as you are."

This tweet comes just days before "Yeezy Season 4" is set to debut on the opening day of New York Fashion Week.

Thousands have people have been throwing shade at Kanye, and his "racist" tweet.

"I assume you're joking?" wrote one tweeter, while another wrote "How do you even class multi racial… are you doing blood tests or something?"

Despite the major backlash online, it has been reported that hundreds of potential models showed up to the casting in Manhattan.

We are pretty excited to see what this season of Yeezy has to offer!

It’s been a tough year for Teen Mom 2’s Kailyn Lowry and it looks like things aren’t about to get any easier as her husband Javi Marroquin appears to be seeing another woman.

This summer the former couple – who share a two-year-old son named Lincoln together – admitted that they were headed for divorce after months of struggling to deal with the miscarriage of Kailyn’s third child.

And now it seems Javi has moved on from the reality star as he is reportedly seeing a woman named Nancy Gisell.

According to Blasting News, the young dad – who recently returned from a six month stint with the United States Air Force in Qatar – has admitted that he has “lots of love” for Nancy.

And while the reality star has insisted that the pair are not yet in a committed relationship, he did introduce Nancy to baby Lincoln during a recent holiday in Myrtle Beach.

For now Javi is keen to play things cool with his potential love interest, but he has admitted that he and Nancy were deployed together.

Between VMA love declarations and heartfelt Instagram tributes, things between Rihanna and Drake seem to be moving at a surreal pace.

And since their suspected romance appears to be going from strength to strength, it is little wonder that fans have already found a link between RiRi’s latest tattoo and the One Dance singer.

Earlier this week the award winning songstress visited New York City’s Bang Bang tattoo parlour to have a camo shark tattooed to her ankle, and while to most people this may seem relatively insignificant, diehard fans have already found a place for it in the Rihanna/Drake love story.

According to Glamour, the Canadian rapper recently bought a camo shark for the Diamonds star while on a visit to Ripley’s Aquarium.

And while to many the shark may look like any old shark, Rihanna’s new ink does look suspiciously similar to the camo shark that Drake gifted her with.

Whether or not this suspected link is ever confirmed, we have to admit that Rihanna’s shark tat is pretty damn cool.

Tyra Huntt started her final year in secondary school this week.

On her first day back after summer break, Tyra needed to get a photo taken for her student card. 

Rather than opting for the classic smile, this high school senior decided to get creative with her photo opportunity. 

Tyra PERFECTLY recreated her first day of Kindergarten picture, and the result is amazing. 

Donning the same green hoodie and weary-eyed expression, it's safe to say that Tyra has already nailed her final year of schooling. 

The teen shared the image on her Twitter, where it has received 108,000 likes and over 37,000 retweets. 

People have taken to social media to applaud Tyra on her amazing sense of humour, calling her "a real life comedian" and "an absolute hero". 

We salute you Tyra, good luck with your senior year!

Mother Teresa has been officially named a saint as a result of dedicating her entire life to working with the poor in India.

The canonisation of Mother Teresa comes just 19 years after her death, which for a sainthood is a short amount of time. 

Pope Francis made the sainthood official this afternoon in front of 120,000 people in St. Peter's Square in Vatican City. 

The inspirational woman was canonised as Saint Teresa of Kolkata, which is what she will be known as from now on. 

The service was in Latin, but the Pope's words translated to: "She made her voice heard before the powers of this world, so that they might recognise their guilt for the crime of poverty they created. May she be your model of holiness." 

Apparently Queen Sofia of Spain was part of the large crowd that attended the ceremony.

Also in attendance was hundreds of nuns from the sisterhood Teresa started and 1,500 homeless people that were treated to lunch at the Vatican afterwards!

What a lovely story!

Anyone else hoping for an iCarly reunion series? YAS!

We’ve become used to seeing sweet family snaps on Chris Hemsworth’s Instagram but the actor chose to give a glimpse at his own childhood in his latest post.

To mark Father’s Day in Australia, the Thor star took to social media to share a sweet childhood memory with his little brother, Liam.

Pictured alongside their dad, Craig, Chris shared the family snap along with the caption:

“Happy Father's Day dad!

“Thanks for taking me surfing every weekend and driving me to football training and athletics training and to friends’ houses and anywhere and everywhere and for loving mum and us kids so much.

“Love u”.

And Chris isn't shy about sharing family photos on Instagram either.

 

Another strange family portrait to add to the mix. #dressmaker #premier #wheresluke?

Whether you love them or hate them it’s hard to deny that the Kardashian-Jenner girls have some pretty enviable figures.

And with their curvaceous bods landing them modelling deals left, right and centre, it’s little surprise that a variety of companies are eager to replicate the girls’ success.

Unfortunately for one LA based weight loss company though, it’s easy to take the Kardashian-Jenner branding style that bit too far.

 

 

A video posted by Kylie (@kyliejenner) on

 

A number of sizeable billboards were spotted around LA this weekend in which a Kylie Jenner lookalike is used to promote a fat freezing weight loss service – a situation the real King Kylie is none too impressed with.

According to the Mail Online, the 19-year-old reality star is not happy with the idea that the company's potential customers could be lured into using its services under the illusion that Kylie herself promotes them.

The owner of the boards DoctorFatOff.com offers Cool Sculpting services which are supposed to freeze the fat off those who avail of them.

Sadly for DoctorFatOff though, we’re sure the boards won’t be around for much longer as TMZ has reported that Kylie’s famous fam already has its legal team working on the case.

As with any language, the emoji symbols were eventually bound to develop their own hidden meanings.  

But while we’re more than happy to use these little images to boost our sexting game, do we really need life-sized emojis arriving into the bedroom?

Well, according to the creators of the "Emojibator”, that is exactly what we need!

Refinery 29 has reported that the not so innocent aubergine emoji has reached the pinnacle of its fame by being made into an actual vibrator.

And – according to emojibator.com – this particular sex toy not only boasts ten different vibration settings, but also offers users a “healthy serving of Vitamin D” (yup, they actually went there).

On top of that, the Emojibator comes in discreet packaging, can be shipped worldwide and can even be used in the bath.

Between this and the Pokémoan products we found earlier this year, it seems there really is something for everyone.
