Mortifying your siblings on social media is something we all tend to do from time to time, and it looks like Kylie Jenner is no different.

Taking to Instagram last night, the youngest Jenner sister shared a snap of a fairly ropey-looking Kourtney, and sarcastically captioned it 'Vibes'.

The photo, which shows a teen Kourt rocking a pretty dodgy blonde look, has been liked almost one million times, with Kylie's followers wasting no time calling the mum-of-three out on her questionable beauty choices.

Noticing the startling resemblance between the eldest Kardashian sister and Nirvana's late frontman, Kurt Cobain, one Instagram (brilliantly) commented: "Kourt Cobain."

Others fans were quick to question whether Kourtney had gone under the knife since this snap was taken, with one asking whether Kourt had had a nose job.

And in one particularly heartwrenching remark, one of Kylie's young followers tagged a friend and used Kourtney's photo as evidence that there's hope for everyone. (No, seriously.)

"See, she wasn't that hot as a teen but we WILL get hotter," she wrote, and now we're finding ourselves feeling weirdly emotional over Kourtney's 90s grunge look.

No? Just us?

We thought Adele was pretty damn impressive when she tried her hand at a bit of the ol' rapping during Carpool Karaoke with James Corden, but it looks like she might have some competition in the form of Millie Bobby Brown.

Millie has become an overnight sensation after nailing her role as Eleven in Stranger Things, and while we knew she had the acting and singing downpat, we had no idea she was so skilled in the rhymin' department.

While appearing on Jimmy Fallon's The Tonight Show, the young British star was encouraged to showcase her skills during a game of Stranger Strings in which the young cast of the hit sci-fi show read out statements and guessed who they might apply to.

Sounder slicker than we ever could, Millie launched into the first verse of Nicki's Monster, and frankly we're all blown away.

Is it weird to be jealous of a 12-year-old?

Victoria Beckham has given a very revealing interview as part of the October issue of British Vogue. 

The cover star has admitted to a number of things, including the fact that she was drunk when she first met her husband, David Beckham. 

In the feature, Victoria penned a heartfelt letter to her younger self, where she highlights a number of things she wished she knew when she was young. 

The fashion mogul writes that she fell in love with David when she first met him, although she was drunk at the time. 

"Love at first sight does exist. It will happen to you in the Manchester United players’ lounge – although you will get a little drunk, so exact details are hazy." 

David and Victoria have been married since 1999, and have four beautiful children together.  

In this October issue, Victoria also admitted that she felt "plump" when she was 18, citing that she struggled with body image from a young age. 

She speaks candidly about her relationship with fashion over the years, referring to the fact that she looks back at her younger self and smiles, because she took risks and wore what she wanted.

"You will learn, as you mature, to swap heels for Stan Smith trainers, mini-dresses for crisp white shirts. And you will never be one of those people who just roll out of bed." 

Victoria, you're a total rockstar!

Earlier this week, Dublin commuters were left gnawing their knuckles when word landed that Dublin Bus were planning six days of strikes across the month of September.

With images of the chaos caused by the Luas strikes still fresh in the public's mind, more than a few of us began panicking over what this strike might bring.

But, it looks like we might not have to worry if a meeting scheduled for later today goes well.

According to Newstalk, unions representing Dublin Bus are set to meet with management this afternoon in an effort to avert proposed industrial action.

Speaking to the radio station today, Dermot O'Leary, the general secretary of the NBRU, explained that Dublin Bus drivers are seeking a pay increase akin to that received by Luas drivers earlier this year.

"When we’re comparing like with like, which is what trams and buses are, from our point of view, you’re looking at a situation where tram drivers, come 2020, will be on €53,000 including their bonus," Dermot said.

With Dublin Bus drivers receiving on average €38,000 a year, Dermot is keen to highlight the disparity which exists between salaries revieved by both.

Here's hoping this afternoon brings good news.

Look, we'd be lying if we said a tiny part of us didn't wish our own lives mirrored that of the one John Legend and Chrissy Teigen share with their daughter Luna.

And judging by the response internet users gave a video Chrissy posted last night, we're definitely not alone.

Racking up more than two million views in just 11 hours, Instagram is all over footage of John playing O Tannembaum for his daughter as Chrissy cradles her.

Looking chill AF, the couple entertained their four-month-old daughter with the traditional German Christmas carol while the rest of us melted, and wished they could just adopt us.

"They are so perfect, I can't handle it," wrote one of Chrissy's followers this morning while another gushed: "This is my favorite video ever."

Ah lads, we can't cope.

OK, so we all know that David Beckham is the ultimate #HusbandGoals… and now he's total #DadGoals too.

The former footballer took to Instagram to wish his son, Romeo a happy birthday.

Captioning a gorgeous photo of the pair, David wrote: "To my beautiful boy who turns 14 years old today.. A special little man with a beautiful heart and a smile that is going to break many hearts in years to come.

"Happy birthday superstar… Love Daddy."

Victoria also took to the photo-sharing app an hour later and posted a cute black and white image of her son.

It's safe to say they were the talk of the town on Celebrity Big Brother.

Much like Jeremy McConnell and Stephanie Davis, the pair flaunted their relationship on-screen, but unlike Jez and Steph, they're not going to broadcast it now that they're out of the house.

According to a source close to the pair, Marnie and Lewis want to keep their relationship going and will keep the more intimate details private.

 

Okay. @lewisbloor1

"Lewis and Marnie are well aware what people are saying about their relationship. They know that things moved very quickly between them in the house but they truly believe what they have is genuine," the insider told The Sun Online.

"They both have enough experience in the industry to know that the way to persuade people they are for real is by not shoving it in their faces.

"Of course they’ve been inundated with offers for mag shoots since leaving the house but despite some of the offers being very tempting, they have turned them all down so far. 

"Instead they plan on keeping their romance mostly to themselves without OTT shoots and endless interviews."

Even though we weren't so sure about them in the house, it seems like they're making the right decision now.

If you've been to Disneyland, then it's safe to say the Tower of Terror is one of the best and most thrilling rides in the place.

Well, now you only have a few months to enter The Twilight Zone.

Disney announced today that the epic ride is closing in January 2017 and will reopen as a Guardians of the Galaxy ride…. SMH.

However, as fas as we know the change will only happen in Disney's California Adventure theme park, and the Tower of Terror in Paris and Florida will remain open (we hope).

Leading up to it's closing, the park is planning on throwing a few events around the ride, including 'Late Check-Out' which will take place in two weeks and run until October.

There will be more confirmed leading up to it's departure on January 2, but for now, we're devo.

Amy Schumer killed it in Dublin last weekend and looking at Instagram, she had a great time roaming around the city centre too.

The comedian is touring around the world, and last night she took to the stage in Stockholm, Sweden.

She was only a few minutes into her gig (two minutes to be exact) when a man in the audience shouted at her, "Show us your tits." Lovely… Ugh.

However, Amy's reaction was just too perfect and she completely shut the guy down:

That's how it's done, ladies.

Seeing what child stars look like these days has become a bit of a trend now… but let's be honest, they all usually turn out to be hotties.

And Dean Thomas from Harry Potter is no different.

Remember Dean? He was sorted into Gryffindor along with the likes of Harry, Ron, Hermione, Nevil and his BFF Seamus.

Look at him now!

Dean was played by Alfie Enoch who now stars in How To Get Away With Murder (who knew he was the same guy?!).

Unfortunately, Alfie seems to not have any form social media (we checked) so these pictures will have to do for now. *Sigh*

Not too shabby, huh?

If you squat like a good thing, but have yet to see any change to your tush, you may have your working environment to blame.

According to emerging reports, you can squat until you're blue in the face (literally), but you'll undo all your good work if you spend most of your working day sitting on your bum.

For those of you who spend the majority of the day at a desk, you're unfortunately leaving yourself susceptible to the curse of the pancake-arse, also known as 'office-ass'.

Speaking to the New York Post, physical therapist, Abby Bales, advises office workers to stretch their legs for five minutes every hour in order to avoid that 'extra-long back' look.

Reminding the public that, despite popular opinion, sitting on your arse won't make for a bigger booty, Abby said: "The more you sit, the more you have the chance of developing a flatter booty."

"So, the first line of defence is to stand up more," she advised.

More regular tea breaks, it is.

Glenn Coco is one of the most recognisable names in the world of teen movies, but his face? Well, his face, not so much.

In a Mean Girls scene which we tend to recreate any time we have to divide anything between our friends, Damian can be seen distributing Candy Canes around Cady's classroom, and good ol' Glen Coco manages to get his hands on four.

While his name steals the scene, viewers only get the briefest glimpse of the back of his head, so if you've spent the last 12 years wondering exactly what Glenn Coco looked like, you can stop right now.
 

 

Almost ended up in a 127 hours type situation to get this view.

Played by David Reale, Glenn Coco is a bit of a looker, and only got himself a part on the film on account of being super hungry. (No, seriously.)

Speaking to Dazed, David explained: "I actually auditioned for a different part in the movie. I didn't get it."

"I wasn't 'officially' cast in the film at all – my first day was my only day," he said. "I just spent it trying not to look guilty while I ate all the free food."

"What happened was, they ended up filming a lot of the school stuff right across the park from my apartment in Toronto," he explained.
 

 

Trapped in a box of infinite vanity, thirty thousand feet in the air.

"One day I sort of wandered onto set to see if I could watch some scenes being shot and maybe get some free food – I was a 19-year-old actor with no money so eating was a daily mission."

Impressed by his nerve, the director gave David a role, and Glen Coco was born.

Altogether now, four for you…
