Whether you're totally shocked or saw it coming a mile off, the news that Rob Kardashian is set to tie the knot with Blac Chyna has rocked social media today.

And with thousands taking the chance to slam the reality stars' upcoming nuptials, at least Blac Chyna knows she'll always have the backing of her BFF Amber Rose.

Taking to Instagram to share the same image which Chyna uploaded earlier today, Kanye's ex wrote: "Congratulations to my Family @blacchyna and @robkardasian!!"

"Please don't let nothing or no one tear you guys apart!" she wrote in a post which has clocked up 68,000 likes in less than an hour.

"I never seen my sis so happy and I couldn't be more happy for her!  Sometimes we find love in the strangest places," she wrote in the tribute to the newly-engaged couple.

Already excited at the prospect of becoming an honorary aunt, 32-year-old Amber finished the post, writing: "God Bless you 2! Now let's get this wedding together so y'all can start making some babies."

While Amber may be over the moon for the loved-up couple, the same can't said for everyone online today, with thousands doubting the validity of the relationship.

"Shut the f**k up!!! No way. She wants him for his monayyyyy" wrote one Instagram user while another huffed: "Oh ffs you gotta be kidding me."

We can't WAIT to hear what everyone's favourite momager has to say about this one.

If you fancy going to one of the biggest club nights of the year, then your time has come.

International DJ Steve Aoki is coming to Dublin and Cork with Desperados for two nights of absolute mayhem.

And if that doesn't float your boat, Desperados fans are in for a real treat with the drinks brand coming up with the most bizarre combo "FULL MOON AND TEA PARTY." Sounds just right for us Irish, right?

The Academy and Cork Opera House are set to take on a whole new look on the night which will see neon beach party vibes mixed with a Mad Hatter's tea party.

Sounds unreal…

Tickets go on sale on April 6, and are available to buy on the Ticketmaster website for €23.90 including booking fee.

Ellie Goulding and Calvin Harris have already released some bangers, and now the blonde beauty has teased us that more music from the duo is heading our way.

Speaking to The Guardian, Ellie let slip that she has worked on a new track with Calvin… And another male singer that "isn't Justin Bieber." Because that clearly narrows it down for us.

Many fans of the pair have said on social media that it's going to be the tune of summer 2016, and if it's anything like I Need Your Love or Outside, then we can see it becoming an absolute anthem.

Ellie recently said that she's taking a break from the music scene since splitting from Dougie Pointer, but luckily it seems that her break won't last very long.

Police in Paris are investigating the death of a Disneyland Paris worker, who was found dead in the park's Haunted House attraction.

Le Parisien claim that the man is thought to have been electrocuted inside the Phantom Manor on Saturday morning.

The 45-year-old was apparently finishing some maintenance work behind the scenes at the time.

A Disneyland union rep said was employee "always had a smile on his face."

The park has stayed open following the death, but the Phantom Manor attraction is expected to remain closed until today while police carry out their investigation.

We don't know about you, but it's just too creepy for us.

It looks like the people who slammed their relationship may have to eat a big ol' slice of humble pie today following reports that Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna have gotten engaged!

Getting the ball rolling, Blac Chyna, who shares a child with Kylie Jenner's bae Tyga, took to Instagram earlier today to share a snap which has sent social media into a complete tailspin.

Clutching a grinning Rob's chin in the photo which has clocked up 160,000 likes in mere hours, Chyna showed off an absolute WHOPPER of a rock which was sitting daintily on her ring finger.

 

YES !…!…!

A photo posted by www.Lashedbar.co (@blacchyna) on

And in case anyone was left in any doubt as to the nature of the post, the 27-year-old accompanied the photo with a message which simply read: "YES!…!…!"

According to TMZ, Rob popped the big question last night before the couple, who only began dating in January, hit the tiles to celebrate.

While the rest of the Kardashian clan were nowhere to be seen following the big moment, Chyna's mom decided to toast the happy pair's engagement by joining them at the Ace of Diamonds strip club…as you do.

We wonder if Kim will be invited to the ceremony…

This is unexpected, and we're really not sure we're getting the whole truth, but Kerry Katona has revealed that Colin Farrell once came onto her in a nightclub… And she rejected him.

The singer was still married to Brian McFadden at the time, and although she fancied Colin, she says she couldn't go ahead with Colin's advances as she was still Brian's wife.

“My old crush was Colin Farrell. I met Colin years ago when I was married to Brian and he came onto me,” she told OK! Magazine.

“I was out with Keith Duffy and he was stroking my leg and saying: ‘You’re a fine young thing!’I would have gone for him.”

Since divorcing Brian, Kerry has been famously unlucky in love. Maybe when she split from Brian she should have called Colin up.. She probably wouldn't be pulling her trousers down in an airport then.

Reports surrounding an upcoming biopic which is set to tell the story of Adele's journey to mega-stardom have been really doing the rounds this week.

And according to Vogue, it looks like Adele has finally decided to weigh in and have her say on the matter.

Addressing claims that Bridesmaids star, Rebel Wilson, is set to portray the Someone Like You singer in a potential future flick, Adele told London audiences she would definitely have the final say on that particular situation.

Commenting on the rumours that the Aussie star will be wowing audiences with her portrayal of the Tottenham-native, the 27-year-old award-winning performer joked that Hollywood honchos would need the all-clear from her before any film hits the silver screen.

"They need my f***ing permission," she announced. "I've heard there are rumours about Rebel Wilson playing me in a movie – let's see if that turns out to be true."

In classic Adele style, the singer took no prisoners when giving her thoughts on the topic, joking: "Just because I'm plus-sized doesn't mean she's playing me."

Looks like it's still a case of rumour has it…

Having served six years with the US Marines in both Iraq and Afghanistan, Lucca the dog has been awarded the animal equivalent of the Victoria Cross during a ceremony in London today.

The 12-year-old German Shepherd, who lost her leg and suffered severe burns to her chest during an explosion in 2012, was awarded the Dickin Medal in honour of her work during her time with the Marines.

Completing a staggering 400 missions during her six-year service, the now-retired Lucca is said to have saved the lives of thousands of troops while in the line of duty.

Recalling the explosion which saw the courageous animal maimed for life, Corporal Juan Rodriguez , Lucca's handler, said: "I ran to her and saw her struggling to get up."

"I picked her up and ran to the shelter of a nearby tree line; applied a tourniquet to her injured leg and called the medics to collect us."

For Corporal Juan Rodriguez, supporting Lucca during her recovery was a no-brainer, saying: "I stayed with her constantly throughout her operation and her recovery. She had saved my life on so many occasions – I had to make sure that I was there for her when she needed me."

According to ITV, the heroic Lucca flew in from her home in California to receive her award this week – and now we're crying.

We love you, Lucca!

You'd think we'd be used to sudden downpours and sodden socks by now, but with summer just around the corner we can't help but feel that someone really needs to tell the weather.

According to Met Éireann, today is likely to be the best of a bad bunch, with the rest of the week providing us with below average temperatures and regular rain showers. Oh joy!

Breaking the HUGELY disappointing news to The Independent, weather forecaster, John Eagleton, confirmed: "It won’t be a great week with very average weather conditions and showers for most of the week."

By the looks of things, Ulster and north Leinster can expect outbreaks of rain and risks of thunder this afternoon while tomorrow will bring light showers and overcast conditions.

The rest of the week will see a mixture of bright spells and heavy showers before eventually turning cold and unsettled as we approach the weekend.

How marvellous!

While the story goes that JK Rowling wrote her world-renowned Harry Potter series in a variety of cafes around Scotland, the truth of the matter is that she did most of the work in the Edinburgh home she shared with her baby daughter Jessica.

While she did indeed frequent coffee shops during her times as an aspiring writer, both Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone and Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets were written with the help of a typewriter and a chair which the author received for free when she was a young single mum living in subsidised housing.

And this week that 1930s-inspired chair is being sold at auction in New York City, with bids having already reached a staggering €$65,000!

According to Sky News, the world-famous author accompanied the chair with a note read: "This was the comfiest one, which is why it ended up stationed permanently in front of my typewriter, supporting me while I typed. My nostalgic side is quite sad to see it go, but my back isn't."

Described as "a small piece of history connected to the mythology of the Wizarding World and one of the most beloved characters in children's literature", this chair is about to make some collector or uber-fan very, very happy.

The winning bid is due to be announced tomorrow!

Since she burst into our lives (and CD collections) in 2002, there's rarely been a dull moment in the life of Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, and it doesn't look like it's about to get any quieter.

Amid rumours that she's giving up her position as a judge on The X Factor, the Geordie star has officially confirmed that her time on the long-running talent show has finally come to an end.

Speaking to the Mail Online, the 32-year-old, who is currently loved-up with 1D's Liam Payne, said that she made the decision in order to focus more attention on the solo career which has spawned numerous number one hits.

"I have had such an amazing experience being a judge on The X Factor. I have learnt so much and enjoyed nurturing talent, but I’ve missed making music and am excited to be recording again," she explained.

The star, who joined the show in 2008 and exited in 2010 after taking up an ill-fated and extremely short-lived position on the American version, said: "I want to thank everybody I have worked with along the way, especially Simon who I love to bits"

The Fight For This Love singer, who rejoined the UK judging panel in 2014 after resolving relations with Simon Cowell, sounded content with the decision, insisting: "I hope the show continues to produce stars and I wish them all the best."

Simon, who recently compared Cheryl and Liam's romance to that of loved-up chipmunks, wholeheartedly supports the star's decision, saying: "Cheryl and myself spoke about this. I totally understand her commitment to making more records."

"She has been amazing on the show and in the near future we will be working on other things together," he said of Cheryl's sad departure.

According to an official statement, Cheryl has BIG plans for the future, but promises to tune in every weekend on the show's return.

Sure Cheryl, sure!
