Most of us would take the idea of a few pints down the local for granted, but if you're a global superstar things are a little different.

Niall Horan's been making the most of his extended break from the limelight by fitting in a few well-earned holidays, both at home and further afield.

And after returning to Mullingar over Christmas, Mr. Horan made another trip to his hometown today for a cheeky Paddy's Day pint – his first March 17 on Irish soil in five years, according to The Sun.

"Happy St. Patrick's day everyone.  Always proud of our little nation," he wrote on Instagram alongside a snap of himself slugging a pint of Guinness in what looked to be a relatively quiet Irish pub.

Niall was taking no chances though, and attempted to stave off attention from fans by pulling his cap down over his face.

With some spare time on his hands, Niall's been using the opportunity to get back to his first love – golfing. Just yesterday he was out in the "freezing cold" for a putt around:

We don't feel too sorry for poor freezing Niall though, as he's only just back from a sun-drenched trip to Thailand with 2FM host Eoghan McDermott and three friends.

Eoghan called the holiday a "week in paradise," and judging by the snaps posted by the pair on social media, it certainly was.

Happy March 17 Niall!

Congrats are in order for Northern Irish actor Jamie Dornan today, with reports coming in that he's become a dad for the second time.

It's thought the baby made his or her entrance earlier this month.

Jamie and his wife Amelia Warner have made no official birth announcement as yet, but given that news of her pregnancy first went public back in November when she was a few months along, it stands to reason that she would indeed have given birth by now.

Adding to the speculation, Amelia was spotted out and about in Notting Hill two days ago with a friend and two prams, and was happy to wave and smile for photographers as she walked by.

The new addition will be a little brother or sister for Jamie and Amelia's two-year-old daughter Dulcie.

And while he's normally a fairly reserved chap, Jamie's never been able to hide his pride when chatting about his little girl:

Too sweet. Here's hoping we get news of the baby's sex and name very soon indeed.

Filming for next years Gilmore Girls revival is already underway, but one cast member's presence has yet to be confirmed – Melissa McCarthy.

Although Lauren Graham (Lorelai), Alexis Bledel (Rory), Scott Patterson (Luke) and a whole host of others are already on board for the four-part reunion, there's been a lot of back-and-forth about Melissa's participation on the show.

Now Melissa has revealed that she most likely won't be reviving her role as Sookie – though she insists there's no bad blood and that it was simply a matter of scheduling.

"I don't think I am [coming back]," she told E! News this week while promoting her new film, The Boss.

"I didn't actually get asked to do it. But I think they thought I was busy, and then by the time it did come up, then I actually was."

Though she won't feature in the revival, Melissa promised that she'd be tuning in with the rest of the fans.

"I loved that show, and I think the fans for that show are super loyal and great and I will watch every single one of them." 

With both Ghostbusters and The Boss coming out this year, it's no surprise that Melissa might have less time on her hands than her former co-stars, but we're still holding out hope for a cameo.

But despite Melissa's reservations, Gilmore Girls creator Amy Sherman-Palladino admitted she'd happily write in a last-minute part if it came down to it.

"Look, if Melissa is available and has an afternoon free, I'll write her a scene," she said last year.

"Melissa was one of us. If she has a spare moment to run over [to the set] — even if for just a cameo — we would be totally game."

Fingers crossed.

Hidden cats, snowmen disguised as pandas… the internet loves a good visual riddle.

And this photograph, posted to Instagram by snapper Tiziana Vergari, is one of the best we've seen in a while.

At first glance, it looks like a row of young girls sitting on a bench, but once you look closer you see that there's definitely some element of mirroring and reflection involved.

The question is though, how many girls really did pose for the photo? Unsurprisingly, the internet is somewhat divided, with close to 1,000 comments each suggesting different answers.

Tiziana has since confirmed that the image is of two sisters – just two – looking into a mirror, but people are still drawing their own conclusions.

Some say four – like this guy who swears he has it all figured out:

Others say three:

The Swiss lifestyle photographer shared the image as part of Instagram's #WHPIdentity project, for which users are asked to submit photos around the theme of individuality.

Already it's racked up over 13,000 likes and counting, and we can see why – it's a stunning piece of photography.

Ah, the Debs. It is generally hyped up as the biggest night of your life, so it stands to reason you'd want to pick the perfect date.

After deciding that he wouldn't buy a corsage for anyone other than an A-lister, this American high-schooler set about finding a way to get Daisy Ridley to his prom.

Behold:

Kevin Carlock's heavily Auto-tuned video invite has gone viral in the last week with over 40,000 Youtube hits, and while Daisy sadly won't be attending the prom, she did in fact send a heartfelt apology.

"Thank you so much for that brilliant invite to your formal," she wrote in a note to Kevin via Instagram.

"Unfortunately I'm locked in an intense staring competition with Luke Skywalker, somewhere in the middle of the galaxy, so won't be able to make it!"

 

@kevincarlock your video made my day! Can't believe I only just saw it! Thank you!!!

And it seems that asking out a celeb through the medium of song and social media is taking off – just look at this inspired Jennifer Lawrence invitation:

If you're celebrating St Patrick's Day in the West today you might notice things are a little more subdued than usual.

At least that's the aim of the plan laid down by several supermarkets and off-licences across Galway, preventing revellers from purchasing alcohol until 3pm today, March 17.

It's hoped the initiative will help to cut down on anti-social behaviour in the area, on a day which is notorious for on-street trouble.

According the Gardaí, the initiative is totally voluntary and businesses are under no legal obligation to refrain from selling alcohol.

Speaking to Newstalk today, Galway's Lord Mayor Frank Fahy said that the issue of anti-social behaviour on March 17 was not just isolated to one part of Ireland.

"We need to encourage people that there are other ways to celebrate St Patrick's Day other than going over the top as regards alcohol.

"It's not just Galway, every city has the same problem, right across the country."

St Patrick's Day is something of a global holiday at this stage, and while here in Ireland we're content with a few pints of the black stuff on March 17, other countries feel the need to go all out.

Here are just a few of the Paddy's Day "traditions" that we (thankfully) steer away from on the Emerald Isle.

1. Using Guinness as an ingredient (in anything other than stew)
Guinness in a pint glass – yes. Guinness in stew – yes. Guinness in brownies, cheesecake or cupcakes – no,  no and NO.

 

2. Dyeing beer green
Are you enjoying that neon green lager? REALLY though, are you?

 

3. Dyeing rivers green
We're looking at you, Chicago.

 

4. Dyeing anything green, in fact.
A green loaf of soda bread does not a Paddy's Day lunch make.

 

5. Greeting people with obscure phrases as Gaeilge
"Go n-éirí an bóthar leat, a Shéamus!"

 

6. Playing It's A Long Long Way To Tipperary at full blast
Thousands of incredible great songs have come out of Ireland, sadly that's not one of them.

 

7. Affectionately referring to March 17 as "St Patty's Day"
#paddysnotpattys

 

8. Saying "Top of the mornin' to ya!," even in jest
"Top of the mornin' to ya, random Irish person! Can you tell us the way to the Guinness Storehouse?"

paris hilton gross ew disgusted grossed out

 

9. Having t-shirts made bearing your family name
No true Irish person would be seen dead in a t-shirt proclaiming they were one of "The Killarney O'Shaughnessys," and that's just a fact.

Tributes are pouring in this morning for legendary magician Paul Daniels, who has sadly passed away after a short battle with cancer.

Paul, 76, was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour last month after collapsing at his home and suffering a suspected stroke.

A statement from his publicist confirmed the sad news this morning.

"One of our most beloved entertainers, Paul Daniels, has passed away at the age of 77.

"The TV star, who was diagnosed with a brain tumour earlier this year, passed away peacefully at home with Debbie at his side in the early hours of this morning.

"Debbie and the family would like to thank everyone for their support and asks that their privacy be respected at this sad time."

Paul's adult son Gary paid tribute to his father this morning with a gorgeous image of a white rabbit in a top hat:

"It is with incredible sadness that I can confirm that Dad, Paul Daniels, passed away over night," he wrote.

Speaking to The Mirror last month, his son Martin admitted that the family knew from the time of diagnosis that nothing could be done.

"Dad's not going to get any better. There's no treatment which can help him. Doctor's haven't said how many weeks or months he might have – and we haven't asked.

"He knows things are not in his hands now and we are living in the knowledge every day is a bonus."

Paul, a native of Middlesbrough, England, received numerous awards over the course of his long and successful career in magic, 

He is survivied by his wife of 28 years, Debbie McGee, and his three adult sons from a previous marriage to Jacqueline Skipworth.

Ah, Paddy's Day. The most Irish day of them all. And where would we be in Ireland without all the craic?

Sure, most of the fun of Paddy's Day is meeting up with your friends and going for a few drinks.

But if you don't want to face the herds in town, stay at home and have some fun with these Guinness jelly shots.

The combo of Bailey's, Guinness, coffee and chocolate kinda makes these shots seem too good to be true – but sure, we'll give everything a go.

Here's the recipe if you fancy it. Now go and be merry. Happy St. Patrick's Day!

He filled our feeds for years with many pictures of his happy little face popping up in gifs and memes – and now the 'Success Kid' is back and all grown up.

The photo of the now eight-year-old was posted on Imgur, and my, he has grown.

His mother is standing with him in the photo holding up a little 'Success Kid' toy while Sammy grins beside her.

Last year he surfaced on the Internet again when his family lauched a GoFundMe campaign for his dad to receive a kidney transplant.

The operation was successful (yay) and we hope to see Sammy strike a few more hilarious poses in the future.

We watched it religiously from 2007 to 2010 and now we might be able to get a little more Gavin and Stacey (and Smithy and Nessa) in our lives.

James Cordon revealed today that he would “love” to reprise the role of Smithy on the show one last time.

The Late Late Show presenter returned as Gavin’s bashy BFF for a Sport Relief sketch recently and said he’d like to write another special with Ruth Jones, who played Nessa.

“I’d love to do another Gavin & Stacey special. It’s just finding the time. My favourite was the last Christmas special," he told the Daily Star.

“Writing that with Ruth for two weeks was just brilliant, so I’d love to do another one. Watch this space.”

Oh, don't worry James, we'll be watching.

She was always one of our faves on The Hills so we were delighted to find out Audrina Patridge is pregnant with her first child.

Audrina revealed she is expecting her baby with fiancé Corey Bohan in December, and the happy couple just announced the gender of their baby…a girl!

The Hills alum took to her blog to reveal the news today, and looking at the pictures, they couldn't be happier.

"You guys have no idea how hard this has been to keep my mouth shut, but we are finally ready to reveal the gender of our little munchkin!" she wrote.

"Don't worry, I'll get right to the point…We are thrilled to announce that we will be welcoming a sweet little GIRL into our family in July!" Eeek! 

In the blog post she also said that she's open to taking suggestions for baby names. But whatever they call her, we're sure she's going to be one rockin' baby.
