With Game of Thrones and Star Wars both filming here last year, it seems that Ireland is becoming even more popular when it comes to films and TV shows.

And now The Disney Channel wants a piece of the action. The network is currently filming a new musical TV show in Northern Ireland in hopes it will become as popular as High School Musical.

The show titled The Lodge is set in Montalto Estate in County Down but it's also setting its sights on Castlewellan and Tollymore Forest.

David Levine, director of programming for the Disney Channel in the UK and Ireland said: “Northern Ireland has a great production pool and up until now it has been mostly known for swords and dragons.

“Disney Channel is bringing songs and dancing – we have a great, talented cast who can not only act but sing and dance and we have original songs.”

“We’re investing quite a bit, and you have production, post-production, builders, sets and filming in multiple locations here.”

The Lodge will film in Co Down until this summer, with it set to air on Disney in September.

William Roache is facing backlash from the fans and family of actress Anne Kirkbride today, after revealing his version of events about the months leading up to her death.

Anne and William appeared alongside each other as Coronation Street couple Deirdre and Ken Barlow for 35 years, and at the time of Anne's death from cancer last year, William paid tribute to his friend, saying her death had hit him "so personally."

Now though, the actor has spoken out about the circumstances surrounding her unexpected death – which happened during a three-month hiatus from Coronation Street – and Anne's family are blasting him for overstepping the mark.

In quotes published by The Mirror and other media outlets today, William describes Anne as "an alcoholic" and "depressed" and said that her hiatus was a last resort from Coronation Street's producers, unrelated to her cancer diagnosis.

"What happened to Anne was… she was was an alcoholic," he is quoted as saying. "She was on drugs for depression. She had been an alcoholic but she was off the drink.

"She was on anti-depressant drugs all her life and then she just started crying a lot and I spent half my life sort of comforting her and getting her back on track.

William also said that Anne's distress was affecting the Coronation Street filming schedule, and that certain scenes had to be delayed because she was "weepy and wailing."

He claims that ITV gave Anne three months to "sort herself out" during which time she was diagnosed with cancer.

"They [doctors] found her right lung full of cancer and she had a brain tumour. They took her into hospital on the Friday and she died on the Monday. In a way it was a blessing."

Anne's husband David Kirkbride has confirmed that his late wife would have "described herself as an alcoholic," but adds that she "hadn't touched a drop in 30 years."

Meanwhile, fans over on Twitter have also hit back at Ken for oversharing about his late friend:

There has been no response from William's rep as yet.

Rugby stars Mike McCarthy and Devin Toner certainly got into the spirit of super heroes as they both re-enacted the famous stances.

Emmy winner Baz Ashmawy also rocked up to the premiere last night (without his mammy) as well as Red Rock actors David Crowley, Chris Newman and Adam Weafer.

The blockbuster movie sees the two heroes battling it out to see who will win, however a new threat comes along and it's up to the them to save the day – together.

With three small children – the youngest of whom is still only four months old – already at home, Kristin Cavallari says she's definitely NOT having any more kids.

Mother to Camden, 3, Jaxon, 22 months, and Saylor, 4 months, we can imagine the reality TV star and her husband, professional athlete Jay Cutler, have their hands full.

In fact, they're absolutely sure that their family is now complete; in fact, Jay, 32, is being sent off for the snip.

“We’re taking permanent [birth control] measures. We’ll just leave it at that,” the 29-year-old revealed this week referring to a vasectomy.

And with two boys already in the family, the Kristin was particularly delighted to welcome baby Saylor last November. 

“She’s going to steal Jay’s heart, which will in turn melt mine!” Ms Cavallari said at the time. 

“I’m excited for the boys to grow up with a sister. I think it will help them to better understand and respect women.”

Frances Bean Cobain has filed for divorce from her husband of only 21 months.

The daughter of Courtney Love and the late Kurt Cobain split from Isaiah Silva but says that he won't take any of her father's money, reports TMZ.

The former Nirvana frontman's estate is valued at $450 million (€400m), and Frances' divorce docs include a warning that he should not even think about making a money grab.

However, the documents do read that she will pay the 31-year-old spousal support.

The pair were officially married in secret in June 2014, but only celebrated the union with friends last September.

However, despite one relationship ending, Frances seems to be reconciling with her mother after their very difficult past.

Like any twenty-something who's smitten with someone new, Gigi Hadid hasn't been able to resist the odd post about Zayn Malik on her social media accounts.

Cosy couple selfies, snaps of her new man asleep on her couch, it's all there – but that doesn't mean she's going to let people get away with saying nasty things about her or her new relationship.

After posting a photo of her Pillowtalk-ing boyfriend to Twitter last night, the model got a few needlessly negative comments from followers. In true Gigi style through, she had an ice-cold comeback.

The drama started when Gigi posted this sexy snap of Zayn with the caption "I mean…":

Within minutes, Twitter user @modelior stepped in to tell the model to "practise how to walk properly instead of having a new bf every 2 weeks."

Ouch. But Gigi's retort was even harsher, and we kind of love her for it:

"I've dated 3 guys in 3 yrs, hun," the 20-year-old wrote, referencing her previous relationships with Cody Simspon and Joe Jonas. 

"My walk can always get better; I hope the unrelated bitterness in ur heart can too."

YAAAAS, Gigi.

Zayn also weighed in recently on the crazy hype that his new relationship – or any relationship, for that matter – stirs up in the media.

"I try to keep the two very separate. I try to, as much as I can. But there's only so much you can do," he told Complex of the blurred lines between his public and private life.

"I'm learning to deal with it. It's just one of those things now, in the background. I just leave it as a bit of a noise in the background."

The Gilmore Girls reunion is shaping up to probably be the best TV revival ever – and now another actress has been added to the line-up.

Laura Graham's on-screen daughter in Parenthood is set to make a small cameo in one of the four episodes, which will air on Netflix later this year.

TVLine reports that Mae (a.k.a Amber Holt) will be in the show, "In a really fun (albeit small) moment with Graham that will delight Parenthood fans."

We're hoping she might do a little musical number with Laura, but whatever happens, prepare for ALL the emotions.

*If you haven't seen Wednesday night's episode – look away!*

Megan McKenna has only been in a handful of episodes of TOWIE, but it's safe to say she's already bringing ALL the drama.

And on last night's episode, the battle commenced between Megan and Kate Wright.

The pair had an awkward run-in and instead of hiding away, the girls both confronted each other over the comments Kate made in the previous episode (if you didn't see it, Kate indirectly called Megan a dog).

Kate began, saying: "I know you're fuming about the comment I made at the pub quiz but I was only joking."

"You said, 'you're gonna rip my f**king head off', somebody came over to me and said that's what you'd just said."

Megan claimed that it was an exaggertion but admitted she wasn't in the best of moods at the time.

The rift started while the gang were enjoying a pub quiz and Arg asked the cast to name Pete Wicks' dog, to which Kate blurted out "Megan McKenna!"

In the end the women agreed to disagree, but we can see more showdowns in the future.

Rob Kardashian has certainly changed his tune this year, and it might be all those healthy meals Blac Chyna is feeding him, or it might be because he's running around playing step-dad her son – but whatever his trick is, it seems to be working.

The 29-year-old was spotted out shopping with King Ciro, Blac and Tyga's son, and he is looking better than he has in a long time.

According the The Daily Mail, Rob has lost more than 50lbs since he got in a relationship with the former dancer, and although he isn't back to his good 'ol days, he's definitely taking the right steps.

He's looking happier than ever too, with even his mother Kris admitting he's doing better since Blac came into his life.

Fair play Rob, keep doing what you're doing!

We love looking back at characters from our childhood and seeing what they look like (and what they're up to) now.

And today, we came across Stevie from everyone's favourite, Malcolm in the Middle.

We watched the show for hours on end but not many of the characters made it to the big time after the show was cancelled.

Of course Bryan Cranston went on to star in the most popular TV show of all time, but what about everyones beloved Stevie?

Well, Craig Taylor didn't do much after his stint on Malcolm, and he recently surfaced on social media with quite a different look.

Artist? Space cadet? Who knows? He has certainly changed for the better though… We think.

Billie Piper and her husband Laurence Fox have broken up after nine years of marriage.

Laurence confirmed that the pair have gone their separate ways and insisted there were "no third parties involved" in their split.

The actor took to his Facebook page last night to share the news: 'Laurence Fox and Billie Piper have separated. No third parties are involved. 

"For the sake of our family we request and appeal for space and privacy at this time."

Billie and Laurence were married in 2007 and have two sons together, Winston, seven and Eugene, three.

The fact he has to mention that no third party was involved sounds a bit suspicious, but we're sad to see the marriage break down.
