After today learning that they had been voted 'the world's favourite airline', Ryanair decided to mark the news by holding a serious sale.

According to The Mirror, the airline are letting 100,000 seats go for – wait for it, ladies – just €19.99.

The first place position – measured by the number of passengers each airline flew – was awarded by the International Air Transport Association, and Ryanair are understandably thrilled by the announcement.

"IATA has once again confirmed that Ryanair remains the world’s favourite airline as we became the first airline in the world to carry more than 100 million international customers in one year, thanks to our ‘Always Getting Better’ programme and by offering the lowest fares in Europe,"  said Ryanair's Robin Kiely.

"Customers can look forward to more new routes, new digital features, new cabin interiors and even more low fares, as we carry more than 117m customers this year," he added.

But until then? Well, these bargain seats, for travel in October and November, are available for purchase on the Ryanair.com website until midnight Monday 29 August, so get going!

Earlier this year, she suffered from a devastating miscarriage three months into her first pregnancy. 

But model and reality TV star Courtney Stodden has now acquired a life-like 'reborn' doll – which she says was recommended to her by her therapist. 

Wearing a short pink wig and sunglasses, 21-year-old Courtney shared a video on Instagram which show her excitedly cradling the doll. 

Admitting that she was "so nervous," about the arrival of the reborn baby boy she can be seen in the video saying "I don't want to hurt him," as she unwraps the packaging.

"He's so pretty; so beautiful – he looks just like a baby…" Courtney can be heard adding. 

Ms Stodden then turns to her pet dog to introduce the doll: "Look at your baby brother!"

In an accompanying caption, the model – who has been married to 56-year-old Dough Hutchison for five years – shared: "Just received my reborn baby today! Exciting.

"I know it may seem a little strange but my therapist suggested that having him may help me cope with my loss. #rebornbaby."

She later posted three more images – one black-and-white snap of the doll, along with another the doll alongside one of her dogs, and another one which showed the accompanying 'birth cert,' which came with the doll. 

Shortly after her miscarriage, which she spoke publicly about in July, Ms Stodden also shaved her head to manage her grief.

Some fans today expressed their concern that the reborn doll was unhealthy for Courtney – but others thought it could prove beneficial for her as she copes with the loss of her baby.

Willow Smith is not your average 15-year-old (we still can't believe she's only 15).

She pulls off some of the coolest styles, and her latest look is certainly no different.

Featuring on an upcoming photoshoot for CR Fashion Book, Willow sports some face tattoos, but don't worry, they're not real.

When we first heard she had ink on her face, we didn't know what it was going to look like, but it's actually pretty cool.

The feature was styled by Carine Roitfeld (one of Kim K's BFFs) and shot by the world-famous photographer Bruce Weber.

The whole shoot comes out on September 15, and we can't wait to see the rest of it.

We'd step over our own mothers – sorry, mam – to look like Jessica Alba, so to hear she's not fully content with her appearance comes as a bit of a shock, if we're honest.

The mum-of-two opened up about her body hang-ups while speaking with Allure for their September issue, and it turns out the Sin City would take back her tats if she could.

The 35-year-old actress and businesswoman, who first got inked at 18, admits she regrets taking the plunge.

"You’re never going to be in the same place emotionally and mentally at 18 that you are at 20 or 25 or 30," she explained.

"Something that's meaningful to you when you're younger is not going to be meaningful to you five years later," Jessica elaborated.

Jessica, who rocks flower tats on her neck and a Sanskrit inking on her wrist, admits they're simply not as important as they once were, saying: "I have a few tattoos. I'm not into them now the way that I was."

 

I'm so excited for my @dl1961denim collection to come out this fall #JAxDL #dl1961 #Ad

And while the star can't do much about the tattoos unless she plans a few laser sessions, she has ensured various other mistakes from her past haven't made it into her present.

A massive fake tan fan back in the day, Jessica no longer opts for an artificial glow, saying: "I remember, it was a trend, and we all used to do it. You put the sticker on to see how dark you got."

"I would never do a tanning bed ever now, " she insisted.

Well, that we can get on board with.

Unlike Justin Bieber who feels every selfie with a fan is an affront to his humanity, Gaten Matarazzo of Stranger Things fame loves nothing more than being asked for a snap.

So much so, he has begun devoting his own Instagram account to photographs of fans only delighted to have grabbed a shot with the young actor.

Earlier this week, Gaten, who plays Dustin, announced his good intentions online, writing: "I'm starting a new thing."

"Every fan that stops me and asks me to take a picture with them, I will ask them to take a picture with me because they mean as much to me as I mean to them," he wrote in a post which has everyone at SHEmazing! HQ whimpering into their hands.

"This guy was awesome, I couldn't resist having him be in the start of my new trend," 13-year-old Gaten explained to his 400,000 followers.

 

This guy was really sweet thank you for stopping me to take a picture.

Since sharing the first shot two days, Gaten has added random snaps and accompanies them with sweet descriptions of the people he had just met.

"This was Doris she is super sweet," he wrote alongside one while in another he told followers: "Derek was awesome! He recognized me in the elevator it was pretty funny actually."

Unsurprisingly, Gaten's fans are all over his idea, and are only dying to meet him and make their way on to his Instagram page.

"You are legitimately a gift to this world and you make me super happy," wrote one fan.

And if you need us, we'll be whimpering in the corner.

When Kendall Jenner recently moved house, not only did she net herself a seriously sweet pad, she also landed Jimmy Kimmel as a neighbour.

And as happens in Hollywood, Jimmy was quicker to invite his new neighbour onto his chat show than he was to extend an invite for dinner – something which didn't escape Kendall's attention.

While appearing on Jimmy's show during the week, Kendall called Jimmy out on the social faux pas, saying: "I hear you're a chef. And I want you to make me some food."

"I'm really offended you haven't invited me over yet," she told the show's host.

Quick off the mark as always, Jimmy replied: "Are you allowed to eat when you're on the cover of Vogue? It is permitted?" before adding: "We will invite you over to the house to eat something."

After Kendall laughed off the joke and accepted Jimmy's invitation, she said she feared it was a pity invite.

"Can I tell you something? It is a pity invite," he replied.

Ouch!

Is it just us or do the Kardashians' re-model their houses every few months?!

Kylie is the latest family member to do up her pad, and she showed it off on Snapchat last night.

Taking to her bedroom, the reality star gave her fans a little tour, and to be honest, it looks like a huge living room with a bed planted in the middle.

Now, don't get us wrong, it's dreamy AF, and we'd love to have something like it ourselves…

With social media dominating so much of our time, it’s hard to imagine life before filtering photos was part of our daily routine.

And while your Insta filter of choice may have seemed relatively insignificant before now, a new study has shown that your favourite form of camouflage may actually reveal some very important clues about your mental health.  

During a study of 166 Instagram accounts and almost 44,000 photos, researchers from Harvard and the University of Vermont discovered a link between particular colours, filters and subjects in people’s social media accounts and depression.

Photos which featured more blue, dark and grey colours were found to predict depression in the individual who posted them. 

People with depression were more likely to have fewer faces in their pics than those without – which could be linked to socialising less frequently – and they were also less likely to use filters.

Where filters were used, the black and white edit Inkwell was most commonly associated with depressive states.  Additionally, depressed individuals generally received fewer likes for their posts than those with more positive mental diagnoses.

According to the Evening Standard, those behind the study believe its results are significant enough to suggest that Instagram photos could actually be used in the future as a form of mental health screening.

So turns out all that time debating whether Hefe or Nashville is better could be of use after all.

Cats are creatures of habit, we get that.

But when your need for ice cream is considered less important than a cat's need for ice cream, sparks are going to fly as one Twitter user found out this week.

Sharing screenshots of a conversation she had with her mother, Jenny Katz publicly outed her mam for caring more about Coco the cat's need for French vanilla ice cream than her own kid's.

Offering the public a back story for the heated exchange which took place between herself and her mam, Jenny said: "My mum will lay down and watch the news and Coco immediately knows it’s time."

"She sits right next to my mum and paws at the bowl when she wants more, it’s so cute."

But not so cute that Jenny felt she couldn't disrupt this nightly routine by chowing down herself.

Shame on you Jenny, even we knew that was Coco's.
