Dublin pub MVP allows dogs into its bar, nearby café Pupp allows dogs in for brunch. Heck, in SHEmazing Towers we even allow puppies to sit at our desks.

So when we heard that a London cinema had decided to open its doors to willing canines (and their owners), we got just a little bit excited. Surely this means it's not long until we can bring Fido along to Cineworld with us?

The Picturehouse Central in London has scheduled in a season of films all about the relationship between pooches and their owners, and the first screening will be open to dogs as well as humans.

"It's a brave cinema that opens up their doors to dogs," the Picturehouse's programme director Clare Binns admitted to The Times yesterday.

However the paper notes that Clare is expecting a "higher class" of dog – i.e. one that won't drool or pee on all those plush cinema seats.

While the first film of the season, Heart Of A Dog, is described as a "dreamy, drifty and altogether lovely movie," the next, Amoros Perros, might not be quite so chilled – it's set in Mexico and deals with the aftermath of a "horrific car crash."

Right, who wants to be the first to sneak their dog into an Irish cinema? We won't tell if you won't…

Wednesday night's episode of TOWIE is making headlines this week for more reasons than one.

Megan McKenna's epic bust-up with Kate Wright ("You're gonna rip my f**king head off!") was definitely addictive viewing, but there was one other moment in the show that had viewers raising their eyebrows.

In a scene where Kate was walking her dog with on-off man Dan Edgar, the camera pulled out to show a passer-by chatting on her phone.

The only issue? That passer-by, clearly an extra who was giddy with nerves, was clearly holding her phone upside-down. Oops.

TOWIE viewers were quick to spot the on-screen fail, which obviously went unnoticed by ITV before the show aired:

Good work, TOWIE extra. Good work.

In today's 'making you feel old' news, it's been a whopping ten years since Lauren Conrad bid goodbye to Laguna Beach in favour of LA.

And yesterday the reality star-turned-author met up with two old friends in New York for a very special occasion – the launch of her new book, Celebrate.

Lauren's former co-stars Trey Philips and Dieter Schimtz were among the gang of friends and influencers who turned out to support her at the first press event for her party-planning guide, which is available to purchase from March 29.

MTV alum Trey was sure to post a snap of the trio – and their champagne glasses – on Instagram to commemorate the big evening.

"Congrats @laurenconrad on her new incredibly gorgeous and useful book. And a great party to boot!" wrote Trey who now works in New York with fashion designer Vera Wang.

Fellow Laguna Beach star Dieter also took to social media to congratulate his friend, saying he'd had a "blast" at the glam event.

And while she mightn't be on great terms with Kristen Cavallari these days, Lauren says she still fondly looks back on her Laguna Beach days as a "unique" time.

"There was an innocence to it because none of us were doing it to get any deals or other ventures — we were just all friends and it sounded cool so we did it," she says of the show's early days. 

"We didn't know what we were really doing, so I think it was this very interesting time where people didn't have ulterior motives. We were just filming a documentary."

We still have our fingers crossed for a Laguna Beach: Where Are They Now episode…

Jeremy Kyle viewers were left reeling yesterday after one particular guest seemed to cause quite a stir, but not in the way you might expect. 

Dubbed the best-looking man to ever appear on the show, Ricky Blay has admitted that his life has changed since his episode of the infamous UK show aired yesterday. 

"To be honest I find that quite surreal, I'm surprised," said the 22-year-old to the Mirror. 

"I'm not exactly god's gift but of course I don't think I'm ugly. But then again the competition that I'm going up against on Jeremy Kyle isn't exactly that hard is it?

"If people want to find me the sexiest guest on Jeremy Kyle I'm quite happy, they can crack on!" he joked.

Ricky appeared on the show to support his half-brother even though he found the experience a bit embarrassing. 

And it seems that his bro also made headlines yesterday for teaching Jeremy how to do a slut-drop on the show. 

After receiving a barrage of friend requests on Facebook, the attractive lad also revealed that he is in fact single. 

"I'm still single so I'm not tied down. What comes in the future from it, I'm quite happy to welcome anything with open arms."

He has apparently already been back to ITV to record another segment for the show, so keep your eyes peeled for further appearances of the lovely Ricky.

Braces, X-rays, extractions and countless consultations; Rebecca Heasley has certainly endured more than her fair share of invasive medical procedures over the last decade.

In fact, she’s now recovering from double jaw surgery – a gruelling procedure which, in January, took some eight hours to complete.

“An orthodontist in Loughlinstown recognised that something wasn’t quite right,” the now 20-year-old explains chatting to SHEmazing. “So I was referred to Gerry Kearns in St James’s Hospital.”

At the time she was aged just 12 – shortly afterwards she was diagnosed with ICR: idiopathic condylar resorption, a poorly understood condition which can result in a misshapen jaw, significant pain and difficulty when eating and breathing.

It is particularly common among teenage girls, though doctors can still only speculate as to why that is.

“The first two weeks were the roughest,” the Co Wicklow native reflects today of her on-going recovery. “I was in a lot of discomfort and I just thought ‘oh, what have I done!’

“But once I got through those initial few days, I started to feel better. The swelling began to go down too and I could see how successful the operation had been.”

During surgery bone was taken from Rebecca’s hip and then inserted into her lower jaw to bring it forward by a full 2cm. Her top jaw was also broken and realigned.

Now, she’s still grappling with a largely liquid diet, something which she’s been documenting on her Instagram page.

“In total I maybe had a single bowl of cereal the week after surgery, but now I can have things like scrambled eggs, overcooked pasta and mashed potato.”

 

••Week 2 •• End of Week 2 post Double Jaw Operation: Chipmunk look has calmed slightly There's still swelling around my cheeks, lips, chin and jaw line. My lower lip has some sensation back but my chin is still completely numb. Aul' hip is healing well, stitches completely dissolved now. Pain wise, there's not much, a lot less than I expected anyway! I get these short spasm around my lower lip and chin every few hours, which is the muscles acting the maggot and the anesthetic wearing off! I've 7 sets of strong elastic bands holding my jaws closed, so still on a liquid diet, for the next 2-3 weeks.. All I want is a solid chicken sandwich.. Maybe a few cheese burgers and some sweet potato fries but my day will come. #progress #bitbybit #doublejawoperation #recovery #gimmeaburger #week2 #slowlybutsurely

She’s since returned to her studies at UCD – Spanish and linguistics – and is now getting ready to sit her second year exams.

The eldest sibling in a family of three boys and three girls, Rebecca will also travel to Chile this summer to spend a year abroad in a Spanish-speaking university.

“My surgeon told me to take a full month off,” she says, “but I needed to keep up my college work and make sure I pass my exams so I can go to South America – meaning I was back within two weeks.

“At first, my hip caused me a good bit of pain, but once I could walk again I felt I could also attend lectures.”

Reflecting back on her teenage years, thankfully Rebecca reckons she’s managed to shoulder ICR pretty well. “I’ve actually always been quite outgoing.

“Of course I was self-conscious that I had a very weak jaw-line, and at times I struggled with my breathing, but I tried not to let it get me down too much.”

She's also found inspiration via the well-known blogger Leanne Woodfull – who had a similar operation also with Mr Kearns three years ago, and who documented her experiences via a popular vlog. Now Rebecca is hoping that she can help others in the same way.

“I've already gotten messages from people asking about it all, what the recovery is like and if I would recommend the surgery,” she says.

Indeed, she’s now in the process of putting together her own video.

“It will contain hospital pictures and I'll talk more in depth about the experience,” Rebecca reveals, concluding: “I love being able to help raise awareness of ICR – even if that’s simply offering a bit of reassurance or just providing a couple helpful tips for recovery.”

Just days after Justin Bieber posted yet another Jelena throwback, Selena Gomez turned up at his Los Angeles concert last night along with a whole host of other celebrities. 

Earlier this week, Justin took to Instagram to share a throwback snap of the former couple kissing with the caption: "Feels."

And as if that wasn't enough to send the internet into a total tizzy, Selena went and commented under the picture simply saying: "Perfect."

Selena was then captured by fans at the JB gig rocking out to her exes hit songs and seemed to be having a great time. 

And just in case you are not convinced that the brunette in the fuzzy images is in fact Selena, super-fans of the singer obtained a pic of the star posing for pics with two male fans earlier that day wearing the same black choker. 

Oh and one of them appears to be wearing a Justin Bieber VIP placard around his neck (good detective work people).

School was difficult at the best of times, but if you were on the nervous side as a youngster, those six hours in the classroom could feel like a living hell.

From awkward chats at the bosca bruscair to the horror of being asked to do a sum on the blackboard IN FRONT OF EVERYBODY, school was a minefield and everyone had gotten an instruction manual except you, right?

Here are 20 (yes, just 20) things that would bring any nervy kid out in a cold sweat during what are supposed to be the best days of our lives.

1. Being left in charge of a younger class when you can barely look after yourself.
“So much responsibility on my young shoulders.”

2. Not getting a 'cool' reference
“What? Shifting? Yeah, do it all the time. Did it at breakfast.”

3. Not being able to find something for the Nature Table when you're Nature Leader that week.
"That's it. I can't take this pressure ANY MORE."

4. Being put in goals against your will.
“James, you're a reasonable man. Don't do this to me.”

5. Forgetting about the Trocaire Box until the last minute.
"Mam? Dad? Empty your pockets."

6. Cutting a circle that doesn't look like everybody else's circle.
"OH. MY. GOD."

7. When everyone one else's mam opts for clear plastic on their textbooks but your mam bumps for brown paper.
“It's like shes TRYING to give me anxiety.”

8. Being sent on a message halfway across the school.
“I'll never make it back in one piece… and oh my God is that person looking at me?”

9. Being forced to “gratefully accept” the offerings of classmates when you forgot your lunch.
“Oh for the love of… Spam.”

10. Having to move colour groups and make new friends.
 “They don't know how I operate! They don't know my mode!”

11. Thinking you've left embarrassing notes in the library book you've ALREADY RETURNED.
 "I returned my diary too, didn't I?"

12. When a new person joins your class and gets friendly with everyone straight away.
“Who sent you?”

13. Thinking that someone thought you might have cheated.
“I wasn't looking! Oh God, I wasn't looking!”

14. Having to do anything more than a wee in the classroom toilet.
 "Just…..five …more…hours."

15. Not having your journal signed after a serious 'Take a walk to the principal's office'  warning.
 "It's like I ENJOY feeling like this."

16. Not hearing a particular word during Friday's spelling test.
“I know! I'll guess…. hmmm… A.N.X.I.E.T.Y”

17. When your parents helped you with your Maths homework, but THEY DIDN'T DO IT LIKE TEACHER.
 "But that's not how we did it when we were at school, pet."

18. Not being able to find a partner when your teachers says 'Pair-up'
 "I'm going to die alone."

19. Being asked to tell the class 'a little something' about yourself.
 "Oh God, what do you want from me?"

20. Having to play with someone from another class because the teacher made you.
"Maybe let's not talk to each other."

Coronas frontman Danny O'Reilly comes from family bursting with musical talent, and we were given just a taster of it today, thanks to RTÉ.

The singer, accompanied by his sister Róisin O and cousin Aoife Scott, recorded a beautiful version of the Irish folk song Grace at Kilmainham Gaol recently, as part of RTÉ's Centenary celebration.

RTÉ released a short clip of the recording today, and it's simply beautiful – though there's no sign of Danny and Róisín's ma, Mary Black.

You've no doubt heard Grace at the odd trad sesh or pub lock-in, but what you might not know is that it only dates back to 1985, and was written in honour of Grace Gifford, who married Joseph Plunkett in Kilmainham Gaol just hours before his execution for his part in the Easter Rising.

So it's a very fitting tribute indeed.

RTÉ will show the full version of the song on Monday night during an evening of music which also features  Imelda May, Jack L, Gavin James, The High Kings, Colm Wilkinson, Iarla Ó Lionáird, Sharon Shannon, Dónal Lunny, John Sheahan, Celine Byrne, and Seo Linn.

Centenary kicks off on RTÉ One on Easter Monday at 9.35pm, with a live broadcast from the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre.

The awkward moment when you realise that scrumptious teacher you have a huge crush on is actually a male model, are we right?

Yeah, it's never happened to us either. 

But it did happen to the students of the University College of London last year, when their maths professor and engineering PhD candidate Pietro Boselli happened to be just ridiculously good looking. 

And it wasn't long before students realised that their hunky professor actually lived a double life as a fashion model and their posts quickly started to go viral. 

Fast forward one year and the hunk has raked up over 870 thousand followers on Instagram as well as landing a major new contract. 

Yep, the 28-year-old reportedly inked a deal with top fashion brand Giorgio Armani as the face of their athletic-inspired line EA7 (which is no surprise considering Pietro's serious ab game). 

The model actually worked for Armani before in 1995 as the face of their junior campaign at just eleven years old. He then took a break from modelling until he was 18 before he was scouted and signed to a modelling agency. 

Since then, the Italian has taken jobs with Vogue and Moschino as well as obtaining his PhD. 

And he still finds the time to hit the gym and chisel those abs. 

We'll just leave this here…

Phillip Schofield may be a successful television presenter but his true claim to fame is that he appeared in an episode of the infamous US sitcom, Friends. 

Well, his voice appeared. 

Yep, while interviewing former Friends actor Matthew Perry on This Morning, Phillip revealed that his laugh can be audibly heard in the audience during a particular scene in the show. 

While the 53-year-old is very excited by this small part in Friends, Matthew was less than impressed. 

"I think we have to talk about how much free time you have," said the actor.

What is it about Irish dads and their ability to turn your mood from neutral to THE HEIGHT OF STRESSED in two seconds flat?

They seem to exercise this power most often when the TV is involved, especially when you're just trying to binge-watch Orange Is The New Black in peace.

"Who's yer wan, at all? Is she off to a fancy dress party in that get-up? Why are there no MEN in this show?"

The folks over at The Irish Take have captured the intense annoyance of watching TV when your dad's in the room, with this epic video.

It's dubbed over a clip of Yvonne Connolly cooking on TV3's  Seven O'Clock Show, and it's pure genius (though a bit NSFW).

When you watch TV with your Dad……

Posted by The Irish Take on Wednesday, 23 March 2016

"She made a f**king b***cks of the kitchen altogether now, she's made a right f**king mess."

Yeah, cheers dad, you can go now. Seriously. GO.

As we all know, Dublin is a very historic town and we don't even notice the beautiful buildings that surround us sometimes.

Well, Airbnb does and it has some of the most gorgeous buildings on offer in the city.

From family homes to chic city apartments, there's something for everyone. And with the 1916 celebrations in full swing, you won't believe the history that happened in some of these places you can stay in:

Pearse Street

Padraig Pearse was the author of the Proclamation of Independence, and was present in the GPO during the Easter Rising. He was also the Commander in Chief of the Irish forces. Anyone visiting Dublin can stay on this historic street named after Padraig in a penthouse apartment with views of the city.

 

Dún Laoghaire

More than 2000 British soldiers arrived in Ireland through Kingston, which is now called Dún Laoghaire. This charming home is just minutes from the marina and is a fab location for soaking up the history of Dublin.

 

Dublin Castle

Dublin Castle was one of the key locations the rebels failed to take during the Rising. You can stay in this amazing landmark which was Ireland’s armed police force headquarters until 1922 but now lies this chic city apartment.

 

Mount street

The area around Mount street and the canal is one of the most noteworthy 1916 locations and this Victorian house listed on Airbnb will allow visitors to Dublin to soak up the history of Dublin the minute they go out the front door.

 

Kilmainham

There were 16 executions in Kilmainham as a result of the Easter Rising and this Airbnb listing is the perfect place to stay for any history buffs visiting Dublin.
