This year is turning out to be a pretty great one for Kildare man Dara O Briain.

In January it was announced that Dara will join Angela Scanlon presenting the reboot of Robot Wars and now he's adding another game show onto his list.

The show is named Go 8 Bit and will air on Dave this autumn. It will see celebrities join Dara and battle it out against each other in classic and new games such as Pac Man and Grand Theft Auto.

”Put a video game controller in the hands of a nun and she’ll turn into a trash-talking bloodthirsty monster,” he told VIP.

“Give a controller to a comedian and they’ll do that too, but be funny. In video games veritas, my friends.

“This show is a raucous, back-biting, properly competitive celebration of the world’s favourite pastime,” he added.

We don't know about you, but we can't WAIT for this to air.

Boo, Tuna, Doug the Pug… we love a good Insta-famous dog over here at SHEmazing. So we were downright starstruck to hear that a pup who just so happens to have 2.2m followers on Instagram has graced our captial city with his presence.

As well as generally being the cutest thing on the planet, Jiff has made something of a name for himself over in the US, where he has worked on campaigns for Target, hung out with countless celebs and even appeared in a Katy Perry video.

Yup, that's him and KP chilling like old friends after a day of filming.

For now though, Jiff's happy to take in the sights and sounds of Dublin, and here's where he's been so far.

It came to light today that the Kardashian sisters are being sued for breach of contract on their beauty line, and now Kylie's boyfriend Tyga is being sued for up to $75,000 (€66,000) worth of damage.

The rapper seems to be a bit of a dine and dash-er when it comes to renting homes as past landlords have described him as a "tenant nightmare," reports TMZ.

Ty rented a property for his company, Egypt Last Kings Clothing, but when his landlord came to visit he found the place abandoned.

The doors and walls were painted black, the ceiling tiles were painted over with abstract art and there were ink stains all over the concrete floor. The landlord also claims that ink was poured down the drain which is an environmental no-no.

According to the celeb site, Tyga owes more than $75,000 (€66,000) in damages and also five months rent which Tyga failed to pay.

Five weeks ago she posted a gushing Valentine's Day message on Instagram – but it seems that all is not well in the Eccelstone-Rutland marriage. 

Reports are swirling that the 31-year-old mum-of-one is set to divorce Jay, her husband of three years, with his recent legal woes being cited as the 'final straw' for the billionaire heiress. 

One source has told The Sun: "They live in the same house but are no longer in the same bedroom. She has been open that their marriage is effectively over."

The duo are parents to Sophia, who recently turned two. 

"Her first priority is protecting Sophia and upholding the family’s reputation," the source added, "so she won’t make any announcements in a hurry."

A spokeswoman told the tabloid that "Tamara has no intention of discussing her marriage with the media at this time," however, another friend added that the couple is "in a different place to a year ago. It’s sad to see".

Ms Eccelstone has recently taken two holidays alone with her daughter, although last month she shared a loved-up Valentine's post with her 200,000 Instagram fans.

"I knew after our first dinner that you were the one," she said. "Thank you for sweeping me off my feet and loving me every day since. Love you always."

The eldest daughter of Formula 1 chief Bernie Ecclestone furthermore posted an image of a giant wall of heart-shaped flowers that Jay gifted her.

Mr Rutland, a former stock-broker, appeared at a London court last week charged with assisting on-the-run cocaine trafficker James Tarrant. He did not enter a plea and will return to the same court on April 6.

The family famously lives in a 57-room, six-storey, €90million mansion on Kensington Palace – London's most expensive street.

One month and two holidays later, Millie Mackintosh is finally back in the UK and ready to make a fresh start as a single lady.

The Made In Chelsea star confirmed her split from her husband of two years, rapper Professor Green, just last month, before jetting off to Australia for a beach holiday.

And just last week she headed to Portugal for a week-long exercise and juice cleanse with the so-called Juice Master, Jason Vale.

While we were intensely jealous of Millie's two sun-drenched getaways – and the many, many bikini photo ops – one thing we don't envy is the Post-Holiday Fear she must have been experiencing as she landed back in London over the weekend. 

It seems the reality star has been doing her best to keep herself busy since returning home, and has already gotten to work on settling herself in to her new place.

After reportedly moving out of the newly renovated Edwardian home she had shared with her husband – real name Stephen Manderson – in London for the last year, Millie has set up shop elsewhere in London, and last night shared a snap of her neatly arranged clothes hanging on a rail.

"Productive evening," Millie captioned the snap…. which is giving us SERIOUS style envy, btw.

According to one source, the final straw for Millie and her husband was the issue of kids – specifically, that he wanted them and she didn't.

"Kids became a big problem," an insider told The Sun last month. "They loved each other but would have these crazy explosive rows."

Here's hoping this month marks a fresh start for Millie, and for Stephen, too.

As we were scrolling through the Internet this morning, we came across THE WEIRDEST thing.

Buzzfeed decided that Easter eggs are so good to look at, that they might as well be painted onto a few lads' bums.

Why these men agreed to have bunnies and chicks plastered on their derrieres is beyond us, but hey, that's the Internet.

Now, enjoy the bums… Or be totally freaked out by them, either one is cool:

Buying a Christmas present for your 80-something granny-in-law has gotta be tough at the best of times – never mind when the granny in question is one of the world's longest serving monarchs. 

But we reckon that Duchess Kate nailed it back in December 2011 – the year of her marriage to Prince Wills – coming up with a thoughtful and appropriate gift that evidently the Queen loved.

Chatting on a forthcoming two-hour ITV documentary to mark the British royal's 90th birthday, Mrs Cambridge admitted that she was a tad nervous having to come up with a decent pressie.

“I was thinking, ‘Gosh, what should I give her?’

“I thought, ‘I’ll make her something.’ Which could have gone horribly wrong.

"But I decided to make my granny’s recipe of chutney. I was worried about it, but I noticed next day it was on the table.

“Such a simple gesture went such a long way for me.”

Queen Elizabeth II has been on the British throne since 1952 and celebrates her milestone birthday on April 21.

Adele has been putting on an exceptional performance night after night during her live tour.

And if you thought bringing the Irish lads up to sing or interrupting a proposal was good, then you've seen nothing yet.

The singer was coming to the end of a fast-beat song in London's O2 and while she was bending down she exclaimed to the crowd, "I think I just twerked!"

Seeing if it was just a fluke, she wiggle her bum again – much to the delight of her cheering fans.

But clearly finding the new-found bum move all too much, she told her fans, "My bum could break my back it's so enormous!"

Seeing the reaction, the mother-of-one tried the move again, delighted with herself.

We're thinking that no matter where you are in the world, if you go to Adele's concert, you're going to have a good time. The girl is just GAS.

Kourtney, Kim and Khloe Kardashian are being sued in a civil lawsuit filed by Hillair Capital Management in Los Angeles, according to TMZ.

The investment firm is seeking more than $180 million (€160m) for their beauty line.

Hillair has accused the sisters of breach of contract, fraud and deceit after it invested more than $10 million (€8.9m) to redeem their struggling make-up line.

The lawsuit claims that the firm agreed to invest in Kardashian Beauty in July 2014 "after former distributor, Boldface, went belly up amidst legal and financial troubles."

"The Kardashians immediately stopped marketing, promoting, and supporting the line and began courting new potential investors to buy out Hillair’s stake. In short, the Kardashians wanted a better, more lucrative deal," court documents said.

We all know the deal. You're out until five in the morning but have to be somewhere else by 10am.

You pull yourself out of bed – no matter how awful you look – and leave the house in hope that no one will see you.

But if you're a major star, like Rupert Grint is, then you might have a problem going unnoticed.

The actor was seen leaving a London hotel last weekend and fans started to worry on social media about his well-being.

It's all good though, because when his rep said it was simply a stray hair that made Rupe look so dishevelled.

"The picture is misleading as there is a curl of hair under his eye and it's very poorly lit. He has been working very hard rehearsing for a new sky show and also training hard. I saw him on Sunday and he is looking great."

Hmmm… Sure.

We'd say he was absolutely hanging, but you know, the stray hair excuse works too.
