If there’s anything we love more than Thai food, it’s FREE Thai food.

And if you feel the same, you might want to hightail it to Clarendon Street by noon tomorrow if you want to get your hands on a free takeaway lunch from one of the city’s most popular Thai and Vietnamese restaurants.

That’s right, ladies, Saba is celebrating their 10th birthday by giving away – wait for it – 100 free takeaway lunches between noon and 1pm tomorrow afternoon.

Oh, and it doesn’t stop there.

In honour of their milestone moment, the restaurant will be running a 10 Day Thai & Vietnamese Festival which will kick off on Friday September 2nd, and give you the chance to tuck into their most popular dishes for just €10 a pop.

And if that sounds amazing, you better brace yourself for this one.

In addition to free lunches tomorrow and €10 specials, the good folk behind the uber popular Thai spot will be giving the public a chance to win a trip of a lifetime to Thailand for two people with – and again, you’re going to have to brace yourself –  €2,000 spending money.

We know it’s a lot to take in of a Monday morning, so you guys should probably go and have yourselves a nice little sit-down.

There are a number of female celebrities who we'd happily walk over hot coals for. (Chrissy Teigen, we're looking at you.)

Whether it's their attitude, their humour or their sense of style, some women make us want to be bigger and better at everything we do, and for Lena Dunham, that person is Rihanna.

Taking to social media earlier this morning, the Girls actor laid bare her feelings for the Work singer, and Twitter cannot cope with the accuracy of the sentiment.

"I would literally do anything for Rihanna," Lena wrote in a post which has been liked thousands of times in mere hours.

"I just want to make her as happy as she makes me. Whatever seh needs," she continued. "That's not creepy, right?"

Reassuring Lena that it's totally OK to feel her feelings – whatever they may be – the star's followers admitted that the feelings she has for Rihanna are the exact same as the ones they have for her.

"Does it feel creepy if I say I feel the same for you." wrote one. "I knew it wouldn't. I can be your second best friend after riri."

"That's exactly how I feel with you and Jack," added another follower, referring to Lena's relationship with Jack Antonoff of Fun fame.

Some of of Lena's fans, however, decided to play Devil's Advocate with the actress and tested her limits when it came to her love for Ri-Ri.

"What if she called you at 4am just to talk from a different time zone cuz she was lonely on tour?" wrote one.

"Would you drive her to the airport?" they added. "Would you help her move?"

Something tells us it'd be a yes on all fronts.

It’s no secret that the Kardashian-Jenners have had mixed feelings about Blac Chyna since she entered the famous fam as Rob’s girlfriend earlier this year.

But at long last the one person who’s remained adamantly against their relationship seems to have given in, as last night’s episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians revealed that Khloé Kardashian is finally back on speaking terms with her brother.

With a little help of family momager Kris Jenner, KoKo and Rob ended their month-long silence – a situation which had stemmed from the only male Kardashian’s failure to inform his family of his daddy-to-be status before it went public.

Acting as a go-between for her adult children, Kris said to Rob: “You are her best friend and she has not talked to you in a really long time…She loves you so much and she misses her brother.”

Rob initially remained sceptical about whether or not he was actually Khloé’s BFF, before suggesting that his 32-year-old sister is the source of her own drama, not him.

According to the Mail Online, Kris then tried to convince Rob that he doesn’t have to sacrifice his relationship with his family for his engagement with Blac Chyna but again the celebrity sock entrepreneur was not totally convinced.

 

 

Family is everything!! I love my brothers!

He said: “No, I know, but you all are not that welcoming of this relationship so you can't expect me to be all like ‘Let's hang out and everything is cool and fine’ it's not that easy.”

Eventually Rob caved and called an enthusiastic Khloé.  He told her how their late father “would not be happy” with the fact that they had spent so long on bad terms.

Later Khloé and Rob were filmed discussing their issues, with Khloé insisting her brother does not have to eliminate himself from her life because of his relationship with Chyna.

Afterwards the radio talk show host told cameras: “It feels so good to have my brother back in my life. I just feel so much more safe and at peace that he is here and someone I can talk to and call and lean on and be that goofy brother.”

While rumours continue to circulate that all is not well between Rob and his significant other, it’s good to hear his familial relationships are finally on the road to recovery.

They’ve one of the most talked about celebrity relationships of recent years, but that hasn’t stopped fans from weeping with joy over Drake’s love declaration for Rihanna at last night’s VMAs.

While presenting the Work singer with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award – aka the MTV VMA Lifetime Achievement Award – Drake dedicated a heartfelt speech to “the most beautiful, talented woman [he has] ever seen in [his] life”.

In a modern fairytale moment – which saw Drake stand in full tux professing his love for a satin gowned Rihanna – the rapper described RiRi as “one of [his] best friends in the world” and “someone [he’s] been in love with since [he] was 22 years old”.  Awhhh!

 

During his speech he spoke candidly about the first time he and the Barbadian beauty met – FYI it was 11 years ago in a restaurant called Avocado – and how despite having now achieved an “untouchable level” of success, Rihanna has remained totally true to herself.

He said:  “Some artists need to play a character to achieve success, some need to downplay their own natural instincts to blend in.  She succeeds by doing something no one in this industry does, which is being herself.”

 

Fans of the pair were quick to announce their own joy at Drake’s revelations, with one Twitter user writing: “Drake’s 29 now, so he’s been in love with Rihanna for 7 years…….I’m not crying….YOU’RE CRYING.”

While another said: “Drake just admitted he’s in love with Rihanna.  AND WE ARE OFFICIALLY WRITING FROM THE GRAVE.”

For all the feels, check out Drake’s speech in full below:

For most people taking part in James Corden’s Carpool Karaoke would be actual life goals.  But for Britney Spears it seems the experience wasn’t quite the dream we’d expect it to be.

While recounting her time in the car with James for an American radio station on Friday, the Toxic singer said that cruising around Los Angeles with the British entertainer – whose name she appeared to have forgotten – was “so awkward”.

The 34-year-old told KTU 103.5FM: “It was a little awkward, like, driving by grocery stores…People walk by and there are like 18 cameras around us.  This is just so awkward.”

 

 

So many more things on the way… #Glory is coming soon. Pre-order now!

According to Entertainment Tonight, Britney also described how The Late Late Show host “controlled the whole thing” before jokingly discussing how sick she was of hearing Baby One More Time and Oops!…I Did It Again on repeat.

But overall the mother of two did enjoy her time with James.  She said:  “It was really fun…The guy was just so incredibly sweet.”

“I had no idea he has kids, he's a teddy bear.  I was like, ‘I just want to hug you right now’.”

Britney received a fair bit of criticism online after the segment aired on Thursday as Twitter users suggested she had mimed the lyrics to her own songs.

One person tweeted the star saying: “Britney you knew this was a carpool karaoke right?  And not carpool snapchat lipsync?”

While another said: “Goes to Carpool Karaoke.  Concept is to sing along your own songs.  LIPSYNCS ANYWAY.  The one & only Britney Spears.”

Whether it felt awkward at the time or not, it sure looked like the celebrity pair were having fun reliving Britney’s glory days dressed in those famous grey and white school uniforms.

Apparently, Charlie Sheen is in major financial trouble! 

The actor's ex wives, Denis Richards and Brooke Mueller, have agreed to half their child support payments.

This may seem like a really nice thing, but the two women are afraid that if Charlie ends up in court, the payments would totally stop. 

The women have each been receiving €50,000 a month, but have agreed to only accept €20,000 from now on. 

According to TMZ, Charlie Sheen is making "next to nothing" at the moment, despite his impressive acting history. 

Apparently Charlie threw in some pricey real estate for his twe ex-wives, and has also committed to acting in a show alongside Denise.

TMZ also reported that Charlie is "liquidating his assets, because he's facing a slew of legal claims." 

Hopefully he gets sorted soon!

As an international superstar you’d imagine Liam Payne must be pretty hard to surprise in the present department.  But thanks to some super thoughtful One D fans, the singer is about to receive a gift with a difference.

When faced with the challenge of buying for the person who appears to have everything, a group of Liam’s resourceful followers decided to set up a fundraising campaign to mark the singer’s upcoming 23rd birthday.

Using a Just Giving page, the fans who “would like to give back” are using the popstar’s birthday to raise money for the Way Youth Zone in Wolverhampton – a community centre in Liam’s hometown.

The page reads: “Liam Payne has done so much for fans so we the fans would like to give back.”

“In honour of his 23rd birthday, we are collecting donations for  the Way Youth Zone in Wolverhampton, a purpose-built facility for the city's young people aged 8-19 (and up to 25 for those with disabilities).”

Cheryl’s boyfriend eventually heard about the fans’ plan through his mother and took to Instagram to express his gratitude.

 

Alongside a picture of an article about the fundraiser, Liam wrote: “My mum just showed me this who’s ever idea that was thank you so much what an amazing birthday present” (sic).  Awh!

Fair play to the fans for coming up with such a positive way of marking the singer’s special day.

Earlier this month Pinterest had us swooning over its most popular wedding dress, and now the much loved image sharing site has really given us wedding fever with its favourite engagement ring.

We all know it’s the thought that counts when it comes to receiving gifts, but when jewellery reaches engagement-level importance, it sure is nice to dream about the perfect rock.

And – according to HelloGiggles – there is one engagement ring in particular that’s made its way into many people’s dreams as the Alvadora Diamond Ring has been pinned over 160,000 times.

The 18 carat white gold ring features a bezel set gem, lattice detailing and a halo of diamonds and is available for purchase from American retailer Brilliant Earth for $1,490 (that’s currently around €1,330).

The vintage inspired piece also comes in four different styles:  White gold, rose gold, yellow gold and platinum.

Previously it had been reported that the Verragio Venetian ring by Raymond Lee Jewellers was the most popular engagement style on Pinterest with 63,000 pins.

Like the Alvadora Diamond ring, the Verragio Venetian is an 18 carat white gold piece but it also boasts 0.45 carats of diamonds and costs around €3,800.

Kirsten Stewart recently opened up about what life was like when she dated her Twilight co-star, Robert Pattinson. 

Despite living every teen girl's dream, dating the hottest vampire ever, life was not great for Kirsten at the time.

“People wanted me and Rob to be together so badly that our relationship was made into a product. It wasn’t real life anymore. And that was gross to me.”

Gross… IS SHE INSANE?

What part of dating the demigod that is RPatz could ever be gross? 

Now we know she is referring to the whole experience of being in the public eye, and becoming more of a product than a real couple, BUT STILL.  

Kirsten and Rob dated for almost six years, while starring alongside each other in the Twilight movies. 

The couple split in 2014, after it was revealed that Kirsten had been cheating on Rob with a married man. 

Rob Pattinson is currently engaged to English musician FKA Twigs, while Kristen is dating her former assistant Alicia Cargile.

Whether it reads horribly, is difficult to pronounce or just invokes a feeling of indescribable horror, you don’t have to be a grammar Nazi to wholeheartedly despise a word.

And just in case you’ve never felt fully able to express your hatred of one particular piece of language, the good people at Oxford Dictionaries now have an official means through which people can denounce their least favourite words.

The #OneWordMap is a global campaign aimed at discovering the most hated word in the English language and so far the results are pretty much bang on.

According to Indy100, “moist” is currently the number one most hated word worldwide.

Other words which have already received the vote of doom vary from “no”, “like” and “stupid” to “Brexit”, “love” and “panties”.

The project – which has already received over 10,000 submissions from around the world – aims to gather information which will allow researchers to map the least popular words in the English language by country, age and gender.

The saga between Joe Jonas and Gigi Hadid is ongoing, despite the fact that they have both moved on. 

Joe, who recently said he'd kill Gigi (it was a joke obviously), has admitted to writing a song about a certain someone. 

In an interview with The Sun, the young heartthrob said that “I have written a song that is going to p-ss someone off. They’ll know it’s them."

Joe admitted that he doesn't believe that the songs are offensive, stating that "in a way, it’s a compliment that you affected me that much. Even if the content isn’t positive, at least I cared.” 

That's one way to look at it…

The 27-year-old called it quits with model Gigi Hadid back in May, and has since gone on to date a couple of other models such as Daiane Sodré. 

Joe has said that he has no immediate plans to release these "revenge songs" but admits that the public will hear them eventually because "songs leak all the time". 

We are so curious to hear these tunes…
