If Pokémon Go has given you the pep in your step life coaches could only dream about, then it won’t be long before you’ll want to take your Pokémon hunting abroad, right?

After tramping the highways and byways of our own little emerald isle, it’ll be no time before you’ll start imagining pastures new, and envisioning the number of Squirtles and Sandshews which are nestled among them.

Let’s be honest, there’s only so much rambling around your own neighbourhood you can do before you start wondering what other countries have to offer you in the Squirtle stakes.

With that in mind, it's definitely worth considering the Pokémon hotspots dotted across the globe, right?

The good folk at Expedia are all about helping you tick off your Pokémon Go travel bucket list, but the question is – are your prepared to pack your bags?

1.Circular Quay, Sydney, Australia

According to the experts, there are Pokémon popping up all over the place in Circular Quay, especially when thousands of Sydney-siders descend on the waterfront to join an unauthorized Pokémon Go Walk.

So, what are you waiting for?!

2. Disneyland, Anaheim, California, United States

Those in the know claim elite players will make a beeline to the Sleeping Beauty Castle which is now a top tier gym if they're serious about catching those little lads.

By the sounds of things, the most magical place on Earth is practically a Pokémon breeding ground.

3. Central Park, New York, United States

We've all seen the vid, right? Yep, there's no denying those little guys have made a home for themselves in one of the world's most famous city parks.

And it's time for you to go find them.

4. Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, United States

At the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Pokémon players will find “Zubats” flying around ancient Roman sculptures, encyclopedic collections as well as antique weapons and armour from all around the world.

If only it had been this much craic when our parents were dragging us to museums of a Sunday.

5. State Library of Victoria, Melbourne, Australia

Combine Pokémon hunting with culture-celebrating at this Aussie hotspot!

Sightseeing and Pokémon Go can be an exhausting combination so take some time out and join the other players sitting on the library steps training up their Pokémon.

6. Big Ben or Savoy Hotel, London, United Kingdom

The good folk at Expedia assure us that London is awash with Poke Stops right now.

And if you're in need of Pokeballs? You need look no further than the Savoy Hotel.

7. The Colosseum, Rome, Italy

There are some serious Pokémon hunters in this Italian city, and when in Rome…

This city is crawling with Pokémon as both the young and old of Rome have given into the craze, so it looks like you might have a little competition on your hands.

8. Stonehenge, Wiltshire, England

Not only can you walk in the footsteps of Neolithic ancestors, but you can also follow the path of the adorable Eevee.

And if you really are on a quest to catch ‘em all, you’re going to need to get all of this cute character’s different evolutions.

Retired fire fighter David Van Buren has cared for his 13ft male alligator, named Gwendolyn, for 47 years, but the gruesome-twosome now face separation. 

The reptile, whose favourite snacks are pizza and cookies, has been with David since he was just nine-years-old. 

And ladies, he even took this lad to college. 

Back in 1994, Gwendolyn and David were separated for a time by government officials, but a judge overturned the decision and reunited the duo.

Now, David and his pal-igator are in trouble with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission, who want David to make changes to his property to accommodate Gwendolyn.

David insists that Gwendolyn is healthy and is not a danger to anyone, and he will do whatever it takes to keep him. 

Lorenzo Veloz, an investiGATOR (it's too easy) for the commission, said that "Unfortunately, Gwendolyn the alligator is not in the proper caging it is supposed to be,” 

According to David, all parties involved in this dispute agree that it is in Gwendolyn's best interest to stay where he is, once all of the changes are implemented. 

Who said dogs are a man's best friend?

After she made the decision to post a photograph of a young woman in an extremely compromising position on Twitter last week, we're not altogether sure if we want any advice from Khloé Kardashian right now.

But, we're willing to give the reality star the benefit of the doubt on this one as her nuggets of information have less to do with social media etiquette and more to do with personal upkeep.

And while she may not be known for keeping cool online, there's no denying the star is looking EXTRA slick of late, and it seems it all comes down to the use of Vitamin E.

"Slather Vitamin E oil on your face at night," she urges fans. "It fights wrinkles, inflammation and redness—and it’s great for acne scars! I put Vitamin E oil on my lashes every night, too, to keep them super-soft."

"Add Vitamin E capsules to your daily vitamin list to balance cholesterol levels, ease PMS symptoms, and improve muscle strength," she continued.

And in classic Khloé style, she didn't stop there when listing the vitamin's benefits, adding: "No joke: Vitamin E may strengthen vaginal lining."

"Moisturise your labia and vagina with Vitamin E oil to combat dryness and soothe irritation," she advised.

Alright Khloé, let's just leave it there, shall we?

As every dedicated pinner will know, Pinterest is a haven for interiors inspo and there are few rooms in a house which deserve more design dedication than the bedroom. 

Unfortunately the problem with developing a unique personal space is that it can take a lot of time and effort, so we’ve pulled together some eye-catching ideas from the online board sharing platform to help you kick your creativity into gear.

The bed: The main focus of any bedroom is obviously the bed but even if it is the room’s most practical feature, it doesn’t necessarily have to be boring.  Whether your sleeping space is flat on the floor or stacked on top of someone else’s, Pinterest will know how to make it look magical.

 

 

Walls: While all white bright rooms will always be super chic, Pinterest also has a great collection of contrasting colour bedroom images.  It demonstrates that there is no need to keep walls boring as striking wallpaper can be applied to create a unique focus point in the bedroom and mix and match paints can be used on alternate walls.

 

Lighting: Whether it comes from a natural light source like a large framed window or an artificial base like a quirky lamp, light in a bedroom is an absolute essential.

 

 

The little things: Sometimes it can be the smallest details which give a room its authentic feel.  From stacks of magazines to framed positivity quotes if Pinterest promotes anything it’s well placed small touches.

Remember when Vanity Fair writer, Rich Cohen, recently offered an assessment of Margot Robbie and her native country, and managed to insult millions of people in the process?

Well, while members of the Australian public took to Twitter in their droves to slam both the writer and the article which contained a scathing assessment of the land down under as well as one its most-respected actresses, Margot kept schtum.

And while one might hope she did so in order to take the high road, it was actually because despite the clearly derogatory nature of the piece, Margot was unfazed as she had, in fact, read much worse.

Rich went to great lengths to subtly deride the star, writing "She is 26 and beautiful, not in that otherworldly, catwalk way but in a minor knock-around key, a blue mood, a slow dance."

She is tall but only with the help of certain shoes. She can be sexy and composed even while naked but only in character."

And yet, Margot simply deemed her encounter with Rich as 'odd' and expressed her surprise over the controversy which followed the publication of the piece.

Speaking to The Project, she said: "I remember doing the interview and being like, ‘That was an odd one."

“Then I read it and I was like, ‘Yeah, the tone of this is really weird, I don’t really know what he’s trying to get at or play at," she continued. "But I didn’t expect it’d be like an uproar about it, at all."

"But I’ve read far more offensive, far more sexist, insulting, derogatory, disgusting things on a daily basis," she admitted. "Maybe I’m desensitised to it now."

If that's the case, it's a seriously sad state of affairs.

If you've been glued to Netflix original series, Stranger Things, you'll have been hard-pressed to ignore the burgeoning romance which appears to be blossoming between Mike – one of the show's main protagonists – and his new friend, Eleven.

And while the young actors – Finn Wolfhard who plays Mike is 13 and Millie Bobby Brown who plays Eleven is 12 – have tackled some incredibly harrowing storylines over the course of the show's arc, when it comes to kissing, there's no denying their young age.

Speaking to Vulture, Finn opened up about his first foray into scenes which contained a romantic element, and while he insists he was comfortable, Millie's reaction to their first shift was a little less enthusiastic.

"Because we got along so well and we were friends prior, we were more comfortable with it because we knew what was going to happen," he began before revealing it didn't end quite as well as it began,

"Once it happened, it was just, whatever. Millie's reaction was the funniest thing I've ever seen on set," he admitted. "We didn't kiss until the first take, and we did it. It was a really good take."

"They yelled cut. Millie got up and just looked, like, disappointed," Finn confessed. "Then she yelled out, “Kissing sucks. That sucked.”

And while many young lads would balk at Millie's reaction to their mad skillz, Finn thought it was hilarious, laughing: "It was the funniest reaction I've ever seen on a person, because I was her first kiss. I don't know, it was really, really funny."

Fair play to him – we don't know if we'd have handled that reaction so well.

Top Gear has been in turmoil ever since the exit of Jeremy Clarkson, with ratings taking a major dive in recent months.

Chris Evans, who replaced Jeremy on the show, announced he was quitting on July 4 via Twitter, stating "stepping down from Top Gear. Gave it my best shot but sometimes that's not enough."

Since then, a lot of people have been wondering who will take over from Chris Evans, and hopefully bring Top Gear back to its former glory.

Well, it would seem as though a certain famous rapper is throwing his hat in the ring for the Top Gear gig. 

In an interview with the Daily Star, American rapper 50 Cent expressed his interest in presenting the award winning television hit.

“I would love to work on Top Gear, I could save that show for sure, but it would cost them."

Fiddy went on to explain why he would be good for the job, claiming that “there ain’t a car I haven’t owned over the years, my car collection is as good as anybody’s out there.”

Apparently, the In Da Club singer is a huge fan of the show: “Top Gear was one of the world’s iconic shows and it’s a shame it came to this. It’s a show you know you can watch any country you are in."

50 Cent is no stranger to the camera, having starred in a number of hit movies and television shows. 

We would absolutely LOVE to see 50 Cent on our screens, rapping his lyrics while attempting to drive 120kmph in a Volkswagen Beetle.

Arriving home to a house filled with more candles than you could shake a stick at, we're not surprised this Cork woman believed her partner, Keith Stanton, when he said there'd been a power cut and he needed her help.

After enlisting the help of the Pat Fitz Band, Keith tricked his girlfriend into coming home early so he could get down on one knee and pop the question.

With the band playing I'm Yours by Jason Mraz in the couple's kitchen, Keith told Liz she was 'a fantastic mother and a fantastic partner' before asking if she'd become his wife.

Sharing the footage on their official Facebook page yesterday, Pat Fitz wrote "Keith Stanton proposed to his beautiful partner Liz this summer and asked us to be part of it. We were delighted and honoured to be part of it. Heres how it went…"

The band have been inundated with comments from social media users wishing the Cork couple well, with one writing: "Ah Liz that's fab. Fair play stangy I'm bawling after looking at that."

"Cheers here now a bawling hormonal wreck," added another. "Must not have been a candle left in Cork city"

Well, if everyone else is bawling, we may as well join in…

Whether it was too subtle or too sarky, we're all had moments where we instantly regret a joke we've made on social media.

From realising it hasn't quite landed to sweating over your followers' response to your stand-up material, social media can be a minefield when it comes to the lols as Jeremy McConnell discovered this morning.

After sharing a snap of himself and fellow Celebrity Big Brother contestant, Scotty T, on Twitter, Jezza decided to caption the shot: "Me and Gaz last ni." (sic)

But it wasn't Gaz…and that, ladies, is the joke. (Badum-bum-chiiiii)

Fearful Jeremy had had a lobotomy, the reality star's followers wasted no time schooling him on the Geordie Shore cast, with one writing: "WTF that's Scotty T check again it's defo not gaz lol."

"Awkward moment when you don't even know that it's @ScottGShore and not @GazGShore," added another.

As more and more members of the public took to Twitter to set Jeremy straight, the Dubliner clearly reached the end of his tether, replying: "I know it's Scotty you morons."

Well you can see where the confusion arose Jez…

Rushing to the defence of Jeremy's quality gag, one Twitter user raged: "A majority of tweeters have had a humour bypass. They must have undergone this procedure when they had their brains removed."

Hmmm…we don't know about that one.

“The weirder the better” has long been the motto for success when it comes to YouTube and if the latest ‘100 Layer Challenge’ trend is anything, it’s weird.

Over the last few weeks we’ve seen people apply 100 layers of liquid lipstick in a single sitting, create a ‘polish mountain’ with over 100 layers of nail polish and pile on 100 layers of foundation with totally grotesque results so it was probably only a matter of time before someone decided to do it all at once.

Cue YouTube sensation Jenna Marbles.  The LA vlogger decided to create “the epic meal time of beauty videos” by applying 100 layers of foundation, nail varnish, lipstick, fake tan, hairspray and false eyelashes all at once.

The completion of this phenomenal challenge has already earned the 29-year-old Internet star more than five million video views since the 14 minute test was posted on Thursday.

Before she embarked on her 100 layer journey, Jenna set up the challenge by explaining her inspiration and goal and asked viewers to pray for her skin, lips, arm and beauty blender, all of which she expected “to die” during the application process.

Even by coat number ten the entertainer looked more than caked in makeup and by coat 21 her lashes looked like furry black caterpillars so you can only imagine what she looked like after more than seven and half hours of intensive makeup application.

Her older sister might have broken the internet with hers, but that doesn’t mean Kylie can’t get in on the action when it comes to the Kardashian’s world-famous collection of derrières.

In a move straight out of Social Media for Reality Stars 101, Kylie shared an incredible brief video on Snapchat which seems to suggest she has decided to gets hers inked, but then said little else on the matter.

And social media, as it is known to do, has understandably gone into meltdown mode over it.

The clip, which has amassed over 41,000 views in a day, has sparked debate among the 18-year-old’s followers, with some arguing that the location of the tattoo was inappropriate.

Condemning Snapchat users for casting aspersions on Kylie’s decision, one wrote: “What does having a tattoo on the butt cheek have to do with anything slut related?”

“Last time I check the butt is still part of the body. People get tattoos in their mouth, on their lips, tongue, face ect so why not butt??” (sic)

“Why is everyone trippin' over her getting a tattoo on her ass? Lots of people do it and she's 18 I don't see what the problem is,” added another.

“I love how people get so bent outta shape over stuff like this,” slammed another. “Why y'all get so offended and upset when she get a tattoo? Are y'all related? Did u give birth to her? Did u raise her?”

Now all we're waiting for is the big reveal…

Unless you're happy to shell out for a space in the short – or indeed long-term carpark – while living it up abroad, the vast majority of us opt to get the bus to and from the airport.

So, the news that Dublin Bus have launched a second airport route will be met with delight from jet-setters in the capital today.

According to the Irish Independent, the new route will start at Camden Street, and will serve multiple stops including St Stephens Green, Merrion Square, the Docklands (Silicon Dock) and the IFSC, before ultimately taking the Port Tunnel route to the airport.

The 757 route, which acts as a competitor to Aircoach, will cost €6 one-way and €10 return –  a difference of €1 and €2 respectively in comparison to Aircoach fares.

The announcement will not only be welcomed by air passengers, but also signalled good news for the economy, with Dublin Bus confirming that both the new route and an extension to the old one has created 40 new jobs.
