In the biggest "are they or aren't they" since Cheryl and Liam, Four Loko has been under serious scrutiny after a Facebook page cropped up claiming that the infamous beverage was coming to our fair isle.

The page was since proven to be a hoax, after Phusion Projects confirmed to SHEmazing! that the @FourLokoEire page was not affiliated with the brand in any way. 

And that should have been that.

Or so we thought.

That's because in an exclusive chat with SHEmazing! Four Loko told us this afternoon: "We recognise the tremendous potential opportunity in Ireland, which is why we will very likely be launching there in the near future."

CELEBRATE!

While there is no set launch date for the alcoholic fizzy drink, fingers crossed we won't have long to wait to get our Four Loko fix.

If you've ever been on a J1 to the States, or even heard war stories from those who have, you will be well aware of the mythical Four Loko. 

For those not in the know, Four Loko is a malt liquor drink which comes in a 750ml can, and has a 12 percent alcohol content.

There's one in every family – the sibling who will not shell out for their own Netflix account, and instead makes use of other people's log-in details on the sly.

If you've been inundated with recommendations which bear no resemblance to your own TV preferences, you've likely fallen foul to a sibling who desperately needs a Netflix Gift Card in their Christmas stocking.

Available in three pre-paid amounts – €15, €25, €50 – the Netflix Gift Card can be added to an existing account or used to open a new one, so you can say goodbye to scrounging siblings for good in the new year.

The card, which could herald the dawn of more peaceful family relations, can be used with any viewing plan, so why not treat yourself to a Netflix account exclusive to you… by springing for a gift card exclusive to your sibling?!

Everyone's a winner!

The perfect winter night in involves Netflix, a great glass of vino and a cosy knitted sweater.

This season, cosy knits are no longer reserved for jumpers, scarves and cosy cardigans, the seasonal texture is now the prettiest nail pattern Instagram has to offer.

 Cable knit nails are trending, and the 3D design has captured our hygee-loving hearts. 

The raised texture might be a little hard to replicate if you're doing a DIY job, but if you bring photos to any good nail salon they can achieve the look using a 3D gel polish.

 The results are pretty amazing, and look very Insta-worthy when wrapped around a steaming mug of festive hot chocolate.

If you;re looking for more likes this Christmas, these nails could be the way to go.

Remember the episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians when Kylie and Kendall were tasked with recruiting potential models, and Kendall was too shy to approach anyone?

Oh, how times have changed.

Now one of the most influential models in the industry, the 21-year-old doesn't bat an eyelid performing the various tasks expected of international models, and even admits that stripping off is her favourite part of the gig.

Chatting to W magazine, Kendall revealed that while she may harbour a fear of taking a tumble on the runway, she relishes the opportunity to showcase her body while walking for the likes of Marc Jacobs.

Reflecting on the Marc Jacobs show, Kendall told the magazine: "I actually surprisingly was not nervous, not extremely nervous. I was more excited. I think I wasn’t nervous because I was wearing flats."

"Like, I got to wear, like, flat shoes so it wasn’t as nerve wracking. I was, like, I can’t fall. There’s no way I can fall."

And while falling was her biggest fear, she acknowledged that most people may have been more concerned about the sheer V-neck she was showcasing.

"And then my tits were out. I don’t know why I wasn’t nervous about that. I was really excited about my tits being out, actually."

"I’m weird. I love my tits being out. It’s like one of my things, I guess," she reasoned.

We'd be the same if we looked like Kenny.

Last night played host to one of the biggest events in the fashion calendar, The Fashion Awards 2016

Recently re-branded to its new title from The British Fashion Awards, the ceremony gives recognition to the best British and international creative talents within the industry. 

The event also attracts some of the biggest celebs from all over the globe, with the likes of Gigi Hadid, Olivia Palermo and Alexa Chung attending this year's celebration.

This year, our very own Simone Rocha took home the coveted accolade of Best British Womenswear Designer

The Dublin born designer, and daughter of John Rocha, took home the award honouring "a British ready-to-wear designer who has been instrumental in leading women’s fashion in the past year."

While most fashion fans were delighted that an Irish woman won the coveted prize, some were quick to point out the fact that the prize was for a British designer.

However, Simone enjoys both Irish and British citizenship .

Derry native Jonathan Anderson was also nominated for best British women's wear designer, for his brand J.W Anderson.

The Northern Irish designer established J.W. Anderson in 2008 and shot to fame thanks to a triumphant first show at London Fashion Week and a hotly anticipated collaboration with Topshop.

The creative was also nominated for Best International Accessories Designer for his work with luxury brand Loewe.

If you think Ireland is cold at this time of the year, then you've never been to Finland.

The average temperature between December and February is is -4 degrees and November marks the beginning of snow season, which for most, is not ideal weather.

And Helsinki Airport has copped onto that fact this year.

Just as you enter, there's a massive sign that reads: "Nobody in their right mind would come to Helsinki in November.

"Except you, you badass. Welcome."

The Internet has absolutely fallen in love with the sign and many have taken to social media to praise it after it was posted on Imgur last night:

If there was ever a time to don your most satirically sound ensemble, the British Fashion Awards would be it. 

As with any red carpet event, the style stakes were high, and the celebrities came out in force to prove their fashion credentials. 

There were plenty of head turning looks that got everyone talking, from feathered pyjama sets to skin tight silk. 

1. Alexa Chung

Hailed as the reigning queen of British style and the ultimate fashion it-girl, Alexa's look didn't disappoint on the red carpet.

This pale yellow, feathered pyjama set hit all of this years trend marks, and the designer's slicked back hair and signature red lip complemented the busy ensemble.

2. Gigi Hadid

Model-of-the-moment Gigi showed off her killer figure in a skin tight Versace Couture silk jumpsuit. 

The star won the International model of the year award, which isn't surprising after modelling for major brands like Victoria's Secret, Tommy Hilfiger and Vogue this year.

3. Karlie Kloss

This Victoria's Secret veteran cut a striking figure in this slim line, cut-out column dress.

While Karlie was absent from this year's show due to other commitments, the model channelled the VS vibe with glamorous waves and a cat eye flick. 

4. Mollie King

The ex-Saturdays star opted for a boho-chic look in a floral gown, but kept things autumnal with a berry toned palette. 

She also opted for a very Sienna Miller-esque beauty look, with loose waves and natural make up. 

5. Pixie Lott

Songstress Pixie went bold in the novelty accessory of the season, the tiara. 

Keeping with the regal vibe, Pixie added her tiara to a Dolce & Gabbana fishtail style gown which wouldn't look out of place at a royal ball.

6. Jenna Coleman

Actress and ex-flame of Prince Harry Jenna Coleman stunned in this Erdem Spring 2017 ruffed dress.

Her dramatic liner and loose up-do contrasted perfectly with the prim and proper gown.

7. Lily Donaldson

The Victoria's Secret models were out in force at the British Fashion Awards,  and Lily Donaldson made a statement in a sheer, dusty pink dress.

The full length gown featured intricate embroidered and showed off her model figure to perfection. 

8. Olivia Palermo

The ultimate fashion insider Olivia Palermo rocked an oriental inspired dress, accentuating the statement look with maximalist earrings and an iridescent clutch.

We're not totally sold on those shoes though.

And breatheeee.

President-elect Donald Trump put the worry into students everywhere when he said he wanted to abolish the J1 Visa programme for Irish students, but you can now let out a huge sigh of relief as it has been extended for another three years.

Even though when Trump goes into office he has the power to repeal this decision, it is said to be welcomed by both the Irish and American governments.

HOWEVER, there's one major catch. If you're planning to go during your summer holidays, there could be major setbacks as the extension, so far, does not include the 90-day Visa.

It only relates to the 12-month Visa.

Donald has removed his views about the J1 on his website and his latest policy on immigration, so don't worry, there's still hope.

Three months after they revealed they were splitting, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have reached a temporary custody agreement.

With six children, the question of custody was one of the first asked when the news of their split broke back in September.

Well, reports are now suggesting the pair have reached a temporary custody agreement.

The couple’s six children will remain in Angelina’s custody with Brad continuing to be allowed “therapeutic visitation”.

Brad will also have to continue attending weekly therapy sessions as well as submit random drug tests.

Shiloh, Maddox, Vivienne, Zahara, Knox and Pax will also continue to receive their own individual counselling.

The news comes just weeks after the FBI officially closed its investigation into the incident on board a private plane.

Watch out, ladies, because Kit Harrington is in Northern Ireland!

The star is currently filming season seven of Game of Thrones, and has been spotted out and about in Belfast.

He's a firm fave among fans there as he rarely says no to a picture. He was also spotted his girlfriend, former GOT co-star Rose Leslie. Rumour had it that the pair had split up, but if she's following him over to our green shores, we'd say they're very much still together.

Have you spotted any other GOT cast?

Congratulations are in order today for Jimmy Kimmel and his wife, Molly McNearey as the couple are expecting their second child together.

Jimmy announced the news last night on his late night talk show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Announcing that he would be hosting the 89th Academy Awards in February, Jimmy tied in his personal news by jokingly adding:

“Also, my wife is hosting a baby inside her body. So that’s what’s coming.”

“We got the ultrasound – which is weird because it’s like you’re already spying on the baby — but we asked the technician not to tell us whether we’re having a boy or a girl,” the 49-year-old added.

“Our plan is to let the child decide for itself”.

Jimmy even went on to share details about possible names for the baby saying:

“We want that to be a surprise, but I have been trying to think of names that would work for a boy or girl.

“So far, I’ve come up with two: No. 1 Dyson after the vacuum or Gelatin with a J. No? That’s exactly what my wife said.”

This is the second child for the couple who are already parents to two-year-old Jane.

Jimmy is also dad to a son and a daughter from his first marriage.

Even though there was controversy that it was fixed, Scarlet Moffatt came out of the jungle a queen, and we couldn't be happier.

Now, we all know that the winners of I'm A Celeb get a heap load of money, and Scarlet has some very specific plans on what to spend it on.

Speaking to The Sun, the reality star said: "Now that I've lost weight, and my t*tties are cleaning my shoes, I would like them lifted to where they are meant to be.

"When I was bigger I had J-cup boobs and I would get a really bad backache. I was advised by the doctors actually that I should probably get them reduced.

"It isn't that it bothers me particularly, but I would just love to be able to not have to wear a maternity bra, and have one that normal people wear. And that is one thing I'm going to look into next year.

"It would just be nice to buy my dad a caravan. I don't think I've ever felt as happy or content as I have now, so a million pounds isn't going to make any difference.

"I'm really sensible with my money. So I would like to own my own house rather than rent. That's really boring isn't it? What else can I buy? Loads of chicken kebabs!"

Yes Scarlet, you QUEEN.
