Una Healy has fast become the favourite judge on The Voice of Ireland, and now the flame-haired beauty is about to debut a solo track.

RTÉ took to Instagram earlier to say they were excited to hear Una's new song on the singing contest this weekend.

Una opened up about her solo career lately, telling Goss about her new album: “It’s a singer-song-writer style, but because I have done so much pop with The Saturdays, there’s definitely influences of that too,” she said.

“I wrote the songs myself and I’m putting it together. It’s more organic than anything I’ve done before with the band.”

When you're wandering around Dublin Zoo, it's safe to say you expect a nice and calm day walking around the grounds.

Well, one little girl was out of luck during the week when she went to see the tigers. The big bad cats broke out in a row and terrified the little girl who ended up running away.

According to the Daily Mail, the toddler's parents captured the footage and uploaded it to YouTube over the weekend, where it has been shared thousands of times.

We have to say, if tigers broke out into a fight while we were there, we'd probably run away too.

Three Irish students who narrowly escaped with their lives following the Berkeley tragedy last summer have taken legal action against two of the companies involved in the incident.

Blackrock, the proprietors of the Library Gardens apartments, and Greystar, the Library Gardens managers are being sued by Aisling Tallon, Caroline Conlan and Cliodhna Maloney who claim they suffered 'severe mental and emotional harm' as a result of the harrowing event.

According to RTÉ, the three young women stepped off the fourth floor balcony mere moments before it collapsed during a 21st birthday party on June 16th in an incident which claimed the lives of five Irish J1 students and one Irish-American student.

The students, who shared an apartment with another of the tragedy's survivors, have initiated legal proceedings in the California Superior Court in Almeda County, saying they 'seen, heard and felt the collapse of the balcony, followed by seeing and hearing their dearest friends plummet to the ground below".

According to attorneys representing the three Irish women, the balcony had exhibited signs of severe water damage for more than ten years – something which the owners of the property are purported to have been aware of.

Ashley Donohoe, Olivia Burke, Eoghan Culligan, Niccolai Schuster, Lorcán Miller and Eimear Walsh all lost their lives in last summer's tragedy.

It seems that Harry Potter fans are more against each other than Gryffindor and Slytherin. Some fans went mental yesterday when JK Rowling revealed who her favourite character was in the book.

One fan asked the author who she liked the best (apart from Harry, obvz) and she replied, Dumbledore.

We love Dumbledore, he practically took Harry under his wing and saved him countless times. And yes, it was heartbreaking when he died in the arms of Severus Snape (even though we knew he was going to die because he was wearing a cursed ring).

Put all that together, along with some angry fans (who really hold a grudge) and JK Rowling was bombarded with disgust: 

You can't please everyone!

Let's face it, yoga isn't for everyone, so if you're totally sick of trying to fit in with bonafide yogis then you may want to follow in the footsteps of our Canadian friends.

Rage Yoga, which was created by a woman going through a break-up (of course), lets you get to grips with your downward facing dog while dropping F-bombs and slugging on vino.

Eh, where do we sign?

Explaining that standard yoga just wasn't for her, creator Lindsay-marie told Vice: "When I started going to yoga classes, I felt like I didn't really fit in at a lot of those different studios."

"They have a very deadpan, serious, overly serene approach to things. And that's just not how I roll," she added.

Deciding to introduce swearing, drinking and heavy metal to her sessions, Lindsay tells potential clients: "Want to better your strength, flexibility and become zen as f—? Enjoy the occasional f-bomb or innuendo? You've come to the right place."

And you know what? We believe her.

After she shared a very emotional post on Instagram (reportedly about her ex-hubby Lamar), it seemed that all Khloe Kardashian wanted to do was kick back and have a few drinks with friends.

But that also included her on/off-flame French Montana as the reality star and rapper were spotted on a night out in LA.

 Khloé, looking a tad worse for wear (but not as bad as we all look coming from Coppers) was holding onto a male friend as French led the way to their cars.

On Sunday morning, Khloé took to Instagram to share a rather angry note: "It doesn't matter how loyal you are to someone. You can't change someone's heart and bad habits unless they want to themselves," it began.

"We have to learn to stop taking on peoples problems as if they are our own. Loving people does not mean we have to carry their burdens and confusions on our back."
