It's been a few weeks now, but Kim Kardashian is still determined to get her own back on those who criticised her for THAT topless selfie.

The KUWTK star posted the (now oft-parodied) 'I have nothing to wear LOL' photo at the beginning of March, to a chorus of mixed responses from celebs and fans alike.

One star who remained very firmly on Kim's side was model and actress Emily Ratajkowski, who soon posted her own topless selfie in response – and even received a thank-you note from Kim for doing so.

Now, the pair have teamed up for yet another risqué selfie shoot, which Emily described last night as proof of the freedom they have as women to "to choose when and how we express our sexuality."

Both Kim and Emily posted the photo, which shows them standing topless in a bathroom while pointing their middle fingers, to their social media accounts last night.

And while Kim chose to re-use her old caption with a slight tweak ("When we're like…we both have nothing to wear LOL"), Emily used to opportunity to get her point across.

"We are more than just our bodies, but that doesn't mean we have to be shamed for them or our sexuality.#liberated," she wrote.

"Even if being sexualized by society's gaze is demeaning, there must be a space where women can still be sexual when they choose to be."

The humble chicken fillet is something of a college diet staple, and has saved us from too many hangovers to count.

But after watching RTÉ's What Are You Eating last night, we might skip the hot deli next time we're looking for a quick lunch – and it seems we're not the only ones.

The new series, which kicked off last week, aims to lift the lid on processed and convenience foods, many of which are considered healthy by Irish eaters, but are in fact packed with calories, fat, salt and additives.

And for presenter Philip Boucher-Hayes and chef Hilary O'Hagan, the first meal up on the chopping block was, you've guessed it, the chicken fillet roll. Irish people consume around 45,000 chickens every TWO and a half hours, making us one of the top consumers of poultry in Europe.

It was this clip, in which Hilary explained that virtually all the "good" meat (breast, leg etc) is removed from a chicken carcass before the remainder is blended and crushed up into a "chicken fillet," that really had people questioning their choice of lunch.

The chicken fillet connoisseurs of Twitter didn't take the bad news too well:

Things didn't get much nicer then, as Philip visited a chicken processing factory:

And then of course there were the cold hard facts – between roll and chicken alone, a chicken fillet roll comes in at over 1,000 calories and packs in 5g of salt, more than your RDA of 4g per day.

Up next week is milk and cheese, so we'd suggest having something other than a toastie and a milky cuppa on your plate while watching it…

Catch What Are You Eating next Wednesday March 6 on RTÉ One.

The screaming baby, the sweaty man who reefs his shoes off the second he sits down, the woman who spreads herself and her belongings over her seat AND yours… There are a whole variety of awful passengers you can meet on a plane.

But one traveller came face-to-face (or face-to-ponytail) with the creme de la creme of dire flying buddies recently, after sitting down in his seat to be presented with this:

Eh, oblivious much?!

"Congrats to the ponytailed young woman in seat 22B," wrote the unfortunate soul, a man named Dante Ramos.

"You've invented a whole new way to be awful at 35,000 feet."

After "marvelling for a bit at her obliviousness,"  Dante, a columnist with the Boston Globe, got the woman's attention and finally found himself with a view unobstructed by a stranger's ponytail.

For the record, this kind of madness happens on other forms of transport too, as evidenced by our Deputy Ed Paula's experience en route to Limerick last year:

Honestly, aren't people just the WORST?

If you're already getting the guilts about your post-payday shopping spree, we have just the solution – a super-stylish buy that'll allow you to donate to a very good cause.

As part of Ireland's Autism Awareness Month campaign, accessories brand Stella & Dot have pledged to donate all proceeds from Irish sales of their new Harmony Bracelet (€19) to charity.

The gorgeous bracelet perfectly complements Stella & Dot's original gold wishing bracelet, with the addition of rainbow pavé for a hint of coloured sparkle.

For each bracelet purchased in Ireland during the month of April, all net proceeds will be donated to Irish Autism Action, a young dynamic, innovative and passionate organisation bringing positive change into the lives of those affected by autism.

Stella & Dot Vice President Kathleen Mitchell says that Irish stylists for the brand are "extremely passionate" about giving back and are hoping to make a "big impact."

Every year in Ireland, some 276,000 people are impacted by an autism diagnosis – be it the person being diagnosed or their friends, family members and loved ones.

"We at Irish Autism Action believe that awareness is key to driving understanding and therefore understanding can transform lives," said the charity's CEO Kevin Whelan

Updating our jewellery collection while also helping a brilliant Irish charity? Sounds like a win-win to us.

The Harmony Bracelet can be bought at one of the 260 independent Stella & Dot stylists in Ireland or online here.

Irish Little Mix fans, we hope you've been keeping your eyes peeled over the last 24 hours, as the glam foursome have officially touched down in Dublin for the first of two shows at the 3Arena.

While Jesy and Jade seem to have been staying under the radar. Perrie and Leigh-Anne took some time out yesterday and today to enjoy Ireland's capital, starting off with a nice cuppa.

When in Rome and all that…

Of course, if you follow Perrie on Snapchat, you may have spotted her checking out some other Irish delicacies.

Like a brown bread ice-cream cone:

Or, for dinner, a big dirty plate of Chinese – maybe she was hungover?

The singer also hit Temple Bar, which for once looked pretty quiet:

And she even stopped to enjoy a few tunes from some buskers – in the form of Irish band Keywest.

Before hitting the hay, the singer tucked in to some cookies and milk courtesy of her hotel.

Not the worst way to end a day of sight-seeing.

There have been no updates from the girls today as yet, but with their gig kicking off in mere hours, fans won't have long to wait to see them in the flesh.

Do you ever lie in bed on Sunday with a banging hangover and just WISH McDonald's could roll up to your window so you wouldn't have to move? Yep, us too. 

The fast food chain rolled out a new app over a year ago, but until now all you were able to do was check for the nearest restaurant and look up the menu – not very exciting.

But according to TheStreet, Big Mac fans will soon be able to order from an updated app as well as use a loyalty awards programme.

"We will be piloting ordering capabilities through mobile in some geographies outside the United States this year," said McDonald's chief digital officer Atif Rafiq. 

However, he declined to specify which locations would be included in the trail run but we're guessing it'll be a few European cities (like us!).

There's also no word on whether the app orders will be available for delivery or just in-store pick-up but we're PRAYING it'll deliver.

Yes, they are believed to be mythical creatures, but now scientists think that unicorns were real thousands of years ago – except they weren't the pretty white pearly things were thought they were.

A study published by the American Journal of Applied Sciences claims that newly discovered fossils found in the Pavlodar region of Kazakhstan are that of unicorns – or Elasmotherium sibiricum – which travelled the world around 29,000 years ago.

According to the paper, the unicorns looked more like rhinos than horses and stood about six feet tall, were 15 feet long and weighed around 8,000 pounds.

Unfortunately, no magical flying abilities were found but you never know, Science might definitely will improve in the future.

White Chicks was possibly one of our favourite movies of the 00's. It was something you could just sit back and laugh at (which was perfect for hangover days).

And now, one of the film's White Chicks, Marlon Wayan wants to bring the movie back.

He took to social media a couple of months ago to show off a doctored picture of White Chicks 2 and said if it surpasses 300,000 likes he'll talk to the studio about making a sequel. It has now received over 1.5 million likes and Marlon is making it his "mission" for a comeback.

"The response has been overwhelming and amazing," Marlon said on Instagram.

“This movie is something that my fans really want, this is a movie that definitely should be made. I’m on a mission to make this happen. I know with all that’s happened in the pop culture and the socialite circles since the original ‘White Chicks’ we can surely knock a sequel way out the park.”

We're totally hoping he can actually make this happen now!

Double Act, The Suitcase Kid, The Story of Tracy Beaker, Vicky Angel… If you're getting all the nostalgic feels just hearing those words then we have some great news for you.

As one of the most successful children's authors of the last two decades, Dame Jacqueline Wilson has penned countless bestsellers, but for the most part she shies away from the public eye.

If you're a fan of her work though, get yourself to the RDS on May 5 at 6.30pm, where Jacqueline will be speaking as part of Dublin's International Literature Festival.

According the the event organisers, the famed author will be chatting about "some of her most popular characters, including Tracy Beaker and Hetty Feather, and her brand new book, Rent-a-Bridesmaid."

Tickets start at a (frankly bargainous) €5 for kids and €7 for adults and are on sale now.

Last week, Justin Bieber broke his fans hearts after telling them he will no longer do meet and greets for the remainder of his Purpose tour.

But now some of his followers have found out that he is still meeting fans – if they're famous enough.

According to TMZ, a source close to JB said that in order to purchase the €1,800 ticket, you need to be close to Justin or in his inner circle of friends.

And American ice hockey legend Wayne Gretzky is one of those in the inner circle.

Fans were outraged to see the Biebs cuddle up to Wayne's family and took to Twitter to rant.

One user said, "So no meet and greets unless your the #GreatOne's kid," while another vented, "It is funny that rich people still get meet and greets!! Don't get yourself too tired bieber!!," and another commented: "haha too hard to meet real fans but it's cool too meet rich fake ones."

Ouch, Justin. It seems like your Belibers aren't too happy with you!

After the huge success of Room, Lenny Abrahamson has announced the next movie he is going to direct – and it sounds pretty brilliant.

The Dublin man is taking on Neal Bascomb's upcoming book The Grand Escape.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, The Grand Escape is a true story that focuses on three World War I pilots that are trapped in Germany's infamous POW prison.

It will follow the war's most elaborate prison escape as well as the three men's fight for freedom.

The picture is going to be brought to the big screen and produced by Element Pictures, the same company that worked on Room with Lenny.

We know it's going to be a while away, but this sounds very promising.
