The Kardashian family are famous for many things, and one of those things is because all of their names begin with the letter 'K'.

Well, it might be time to crown this Cork family the new Kardashians as they out-do the reality stars when it comes to names beginning with the infamous letter.

Say a big hello to Kenneth, Kieran, Kevin, Keith, Kristopher, Konrad, Kraig and Kory.

The Ballyphehane natives names might rival the famous family, but sixth-born son Konrad admitted that at first it was only a coincidence.

“The first three names were kind of a coincidence. My mom had the same nurses for all of our births so they started to help pick names for the rest of us.

“Besides our names though I don’t think we have much in common with the Kardashians,” he told the Independent.

Konrad was recently crowned Mr Gay Ireland, and said it's a totally different world to what he's used to.

“Two years ago, I would barely speak in general, let alone in public. Having to do interviews for papers, radio and even judging this year’s MGI heats, has massively improved my self confidence."

We wish him the best of luck!

There are some people who choose between the six original cast members when discussing their favourite Friends characters, and then there's other people – us – who choose Mike Hannigan.

Ah Mike, ye of the phantom keyboard tricks, sick one-liners and 'sailor on leave' skills.

Played by Paul Rudd, Mike Hannigan was the first man that made Phoebe think she might want to hang up her hippie threads and become a soccer mom for life.

But it looks like the writers didn't actually have this future in mind for Phoebe.

According to Hank Azaria, who played Phoebe's love interest David in earlier episodes, writers actually intended to bring David back, pair him off with Phoebe and let those two lovebirds live out their hippie/ sciencey future together.

And it sounds like Hank was pretty cut up about the writers' decision.

"It actually did sting a little bit," Hank said. "Whatever part of me is David the science guy who went to Minsk, which admittedly is probably a small part of me, but that part of me wanted to end up with Phoebe."

Giving props to Paul, Hank, who's best known for voicing numerous Simpsons characters said; "I think, honestly, what happened was Paul Rudd is so awesome that they sort of found a groove with him and my character became more of just the grist for that mill."

Imagine Phoebe's wedding to Mike hadn't gone ahead – no steel drum, no dying dog, no manic wedding planning from Monica… it just wouldn't have been the same.

If you love pizza then you are going to be over the pepperoni moon with this latest invention.

A pizza ATM is now a legit device that has just been installed into a university in the US.

All the students will need to do is touch the screen to choose what sauce and toppings they want, then the little machine has an oven built-in so within a few minutes you'll be welcomed with a hot, cheesy pizza. Mmmmm.

I think I speak for everyone when I say this needs to be installed into every college, uni and office in the world.

It's safe to say that one thing that has never popped into my head is a bath bomb for your mouth.

But, it popped into someone's head and alas, the mouthwash-bomb was born.

As weird as it sounds, Lush, the fresh handmade cosmetics company, has come up with this creation and now, I'm super interested (but slightly hesitant) in trying it out.

I have a feeling it'll be like one of those sweets from back in the day where you dip a lollipop into a load of fizzy stuff and it feels like an explosion in your mouth.

The new mouthwash tablets come in three flavours; Créme De Menthe, Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster and Ugai.

At the moment, these bombs are only available online, so if you want a minty fresh breath (or a Ugai-fresh breath – whatever that is), take a look here.

Attempting to do justice to one of the world's greatest performers is no mean feat – something which X Factor hopefuls should keep in mind – so hats off to Ariana Grande who pulled it off with aplomb during a performance on ABC's show Greatest Hits this week.

Paying tribute to Whitney Houston, who died suddenly in 2012, the Bang Bang singer performed a mash-up of How Will I Know and Queen of the Night, and she absolutely slayed.

Taking to social media to mark the performance, Ariana wrote: "Thank you so much @greatesthitsabc. Honored & grateful to have been a part. #howwilliknow #queenofthenight"

And in a total break from the norm when it comes to covers of pop classics, YouTubers were all for an album of Ariana doing Whitney.

"Paying tribute to a legend is quite a hard work and she did it so good," wrote one while another added: "Can we just have a whole album of just Ariana doing covers bc this, this, is heavenly."

Credit where credit's due, this is glorious.

Fountains of Wayne had it right when they said Stacy's mom has got it going on, but it looks like the memo failed to reach Stacy's mom herself who is currently undergoing bizarre rituals in an effort to look younger.

Rachel Hunter, who played every teenage boy's dream in the video for the 2003 chart-topper, came to prominence in the early 90s when she appeared on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, and despite no longer modelling, the New Zealand-born star still possesses a keen interest in the world of beauty.

As part of her television show, Tour Of Beauty, the 46-year-old former model is allowing therapists from around the world to perform a myriad of beauty rituals on her.

Taking to Instagram this week, Rachel shared her experience of an Asian treatment, and it looks pretty uncomfortable.

The treatment removes the fine hairs from a woman's face with the help of a neck razor – all in an effort to open pores and assist the absorption of moisturiser – and must be repeated every three weeks so as to avoid the emergence of stubble.
 

Uploading a video of herself looking mildly uncomfortable as the blade edged towards her eye in the 'Japan Episode', Rachel wrote: "Having a shave. No I didn't grow any stubble. But I have to say my skin felt amazing."

"Just some of the amazing experiences I had from superfoods to ancient remedies, on wellness , longevity on @rachelstourofbeauty #beauty #beautycare," she added.

Instagram users were quick to comment on the upload, with many enquiring into the after-care procedure and others offering their opinion on the treatment.

"Discussed this with Japanese woman here in Sydney," wrote one follower. "She said her mum does this. She said to her mum "You're crazy for shaving", and her mum replied "You're crazy for not shaving". We all have our own version of normal."

Too true…but we don't think we'll be trying it any time soon.

It's safe to say all Directioners went wild when they found out that Harry Styles is set to star in Christopher Nolan's new movie, Dunkirk.

It's a world away from his usual antics, but when stills from the movie hit this week, Harry's fans loved his military look.

Today, Christopher released the first trailer for the film, except (Harry fans, block your ears) Mr Styles is nowhere to be seen.

The story focuses on the evacuation of soldiers by the British Army from the city of Dunkirk in 1940.

Even without Harry, I have to say, the trailer looks deadly.

Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton went public with their relationship in November 2015, and it seems things are starting to get pretty serious.

A source close to Gwen told Us Weekly that the couple are already making wedding plans. 

As soon as The Voice co-stars wrap their separate tours at the end of this year “getting married is a priority,” says the source.

A friend of Blake's told US Weekly that, “He hasn’t been this happy in years. They’re both in this for the long haul.” 

Blake, 40, is currently devising the perfect way to ask Gwen to be his wife. 

A source close to the country music star revealed that "he has a plan in the works.” 

The source continues to claim that the couple talk of marriage all the time, and have plans to wed in the future. 

“They say things like, ‘when we get married’ all the time. They have plans for their future together and have talked about where they will live and the possibility of more children.”

Gwen has three sons from her previous marriage to rock star Gavin Rossdale, while Blake has no children… YET!

If you – like millions others – blame your little handheld device for being unable to concentrate on a book for more than ten minutes these days, you may want to try a little bit harder… for the good of your health.

While so many of us can happily devote 12 hours to a Netflix binge, the thoughts of spending an hour alone with a book while our phone charges in another room is enough to bring an embarrassing number of us out in a cold sweat.

But in addition to all the standard benefits associated with reading, experts have recently established that those who read tend to live longer lives than those who don't.

In a study of more than 3,500 individuals over the age of 50, scientists discovered that those who read for up to 3.5 hours a week were 17% less likely to die in the following 12 years while those who read more than that were 23% less likely.

Commenting on the findings, Becca R. Levy, a professor of epidemiology at Yale University said: "People who report as little as a half-hour a day of book reading had a significant survival advantage over those who did not read."

Researchers established that, on average, regular readers tend to live two years longer than those who don't.

Ladies, it's time to attack that book pile by the bed.

Princess of pop, Britney Spears, has been absolutely raking in the cash lately, thanks to her Las Vegas residency.

According to TMZ, Britney made over €11 million in 2015, during the 12 month period (WOAH!)

At the end of 2015, Britney was worth a grand total of €50 million, but had spent upwards of €7 million in the 12 month period.

How does a person spend that much money in just one year?

WELL… the report on Britney's earnings also outlined some of her CRAZY expenditure, including the large amount of money she spends on her pets. 

Beyond the obvious houses, cars and children… Britney also spent €34,000 on pet care, €60,800 on massages, grooming and nails, and €56,000 on clothing in 2015. 

Basically, she is living the absolute dream, and so are her pets!

As a major dog-lover, Brit has two pooches, a Yorkshire terrier named Hannah and a white Maltese named Lacey. 

Incase you were wondering, the reports only reveal a fraction of Britney's wealth.

There are also millions more in various trusts.

Well for some!

We've all been there: you've finally reached the till, there's a queue of disgruntled shoppers shuffling behind you, your items get scanned through, and then your credit card gets declined.

Do you frantically look in your purse for cash knowing full well you don't have a cent or do you simply take it on the chin and say you'll call back later?

Most of us would cringe from head to toe and vow never to return to that store, and it sounds like Adele is no different.

The multi award-winning star may have millions in the bank but that doesn't mean she's immune to the odd technical glitch, and she experienced one while shopping in H&M recently.

In classic Adele style, the singer spilled the deets to her audience during a performance in San Jose's SAP Centre over the weekend.

"I went to H&M and my card got declined," she confessed. "Oh my days, pretty embarrassing."

Thankfully, the singer managed to go unrecognised, but the incident still didn't do much for the star's pride, continuing: "Nobody knew it was me, but I was mortified."

We don't know about you, but it makes us feel so much better over all those times we had to do the fake run to the ATM.

BRB…we swear.
