Justin Bieber totally turned himself around last year and he went from an annoying, baby-faced diva to a handsome grown-up hunk.

And while his fans think that they know everything about him, there's some little quirks he likes to keep to himself.

But, Glamour mag sat down with the Sorry singer and asked him 25 random questions.

While they might be simple, they're still informative – and might we say, the answers make us Bieleb in him even more.

"What's your most underrated characteristic? My sense of humor.

"Your favourite iPhone app? The selfie and antibullying app Shots.

"You mean, your app! Most used emoji on your phone? The smiley face 🙂

"What's the last song you sang in the shower? Alanis Morissette's Ironic.

"Somewhere in the world you haven't been that you'd like to go? India.

"What would you want as your last meal on earth? Spaghetti Bolognese.

"What is your greatest fear? Small spaces.

"First splurge? A sports car.

"The TV show you're binge-watching now? Workaholics.

"Us too! Last person you kissed? I don't kiss and tell."

Last year a million and one Uptown Funk flashmobs broke out all over the world – and the Internet.

But this one of Norwegian Navy cadets dancing on their graduation day is just too good not to share.

The video has gone viral because they're all clearly having the time of their lives. And obviously they all accomplished a pretty impressive feat graduating from the naval academy. 

Well done guys!

Season 7 of Modern Family wrapped shooting on Tuesday, and one person who's already celebrating is Sarah Hyland.

The actress, who plays Haley on the long-running sitcom, took to social media yesterday to show off a very dramatic new look.

Gone are the blonde/bronde locks she's sported in a variety of lengths over the years, and in their place is a raven-black bob.

"Change. Is. Good," Sarah wrote alongside  a photo of herself and hairstylist Nicki Lee. "I love it."

While we can see why the actress would want a change, we're not sure the jet black suits her pale skin – although it could be the bright sunlight that's washing her out here:

Either way, Sarah seems delighted with the shift in her style, and has been posting selfies galore since taking the plunge:

After splitting from her boyfriend Matthew Prokop – and taking an abuse case against him – back in 2014, the actress has found love with English actor Dominic Sherwood, and we're delighted to see her so happy.

"You're my best friend and I love you," she wrote in a sweet birthday message to her man just last month.

Too cute.

Well, this was totally unexpected but also totally awesome.

Show Nightclub in Tallaght, Dublin are hosting a 90s night and none other than S Club are going to be there.

It's looking like two of the bands members, Bradley and Jo are set to give a live performance on Saturday night, according to the club's Facebook page.

Hell, yes.

So far, only 168 people have confirmed they will be attending the 90s nostalgia night, so get in quick before it totally fills up.

Doors open at 10.30 and there's a €25 mega deal on offer for five drinks and admission – but let's be real, all we're interested in is getting down to the S Club beat.

TV presenter and former model Glenda Gilson has absolutely no qualms about turning 35. 

In fact, she has never felt better as she revealed that she got less worried about her looks as she aged. 

"You're not doubting yourself [anymore]- that's age I suppose," said the Xposé presenter to the Mirror. 

"I think as you get older you don't care. When I was younger I would be thinking 'oh God, I've no make-up on' or 'my hair isn't done.' "

The stunning presenter reckons that times have changed and having a more natural look is now in fashion, rather then being done-up all the time. 

"I see girls that I started working with, models who have their businesses now, and they're the same.

"They've no make-up on and they've their hair up in a bun and they're natural beauties. You just don't think too much about it all now."

Glenda spent her birthday weekend in Kerry with husband Rob MacNaughton.

Ah Zayn, we're totally loving what you're doing at the moment. The singer has released the audio for his third single, Like I Would today.

It cuts right in between his heavy-hitting Pillowtalk and his slow ballad It's You.

One thing's for sure though, relationship issues were the only thing on his brain when he was writing this album as he sings about a "cold-hearted" partner that leaves him for someone else. Ouch. 

This is a total banger that sneaks up on you, and we have to say, we love it.

RTÉ have cancelled their plans to run an Irish Strictly Come Dancing due to lack of funds to support the show.

As we all know the BBC's Strictly is one of the most popular shows on TV in the past few years, but RTÉ doesn't have the budget to make it as good as its counterpart.

According to the Irish Sun: “Strictly is an award-winning international format with electric dance routines,” said an insider.

“It’s not a show you can cut back on costs.”

BBC bosses were concerned that another version of Strictly so close to the English version wouldn't work as it would be difficult to find celebrities in Ireland that can dance.

“It’s not just the production values, it’s finding celebrities who can dance in Ireland. The UK is so big, it’s no prolem there, but you’d struggle to find enough well-known faces who can dance in Ireland.”

Well, we were excited there for a moment, but we guess we can't have everything!

While the thought of having a dancing session with our Dad and posting it to social media is probably our literal worst nightmare, this father-daughter duo have seriously nailed it. 

Irish dad James and his daughter Tia love a bit of dance music and their latest offering on their Facebook page, The Trance Family, has seriously taken off. 

The page has garnered over 100,000 followers in the last month and regularly features videos of the entire family getting their boogie on to trance music. 

We can't lie, this video totally had us bopping along. 

"I'm getting lot of reaction from people from Mexico, Norway, Germany, Egypt – all messaging me privately," said dad James to Belfast Live. 

"It's just mental."

The video features the pair in the car getting down to the song Adagio for Strings and their moves are genuinely something to behold. 

Watch the pair in action below:

In the words of Avril Lavigne, why do you have to go and make things so complicated?

That's what fans are thinking at the moment as rumours arise that Avril is getting back with her ex-husband Chad Kroeger.

The 31-year-old shared a picture of the pair looking cosy in the recording studio, and many fans flocked to tell her they wish she was back together with her former partner.

One Instagram user said, "Please stay together," while another wrote, "You're my last hope on love." Another one simply said, "CHAVRIL."

Avril has been bust lately recording her sixth studio album, which will be the first bit of music she's produced in three years. 

Now, the picture isn't proof of a romantic reconciliation and Avril is known to stay close to her exes – like she did with Sum 41's Deryck Whibley whom she divorced in 2009 – but fans of the couple are hoping this is the start of something new.

RTE's popular wedding show Don't Tell the Bride is to feature it's first gay couple tonight and everyone is pretty excited about it. 

Kerwin Villabolos and Mark White will be seen tying the knot tonight in the first same-sex marriage to feature on the show. 

The happy couple first met in former Dublin gay bar The Dragon which used to be on Georges Street and reportedly had a civil partnership in 2014. 

According to the Irish Independent, the couple officially marry in tonight's episode in a 1916-themed wedding ceremony. 

"Civil partnership was amazing," said Mark about the long-anticipated marriage. 

"It made us a unit but I think marriage offers so much more."

The popular show allows for one-half of a couple to organise an entire wedding without their partner's knowledge or input and of course, the couple usually have wildly different opinions of how they want their wedding to go. 

The unique episode comes after same-sex marriage became legal in Ireland after a referendum last year. 

You can watch the episode tonight on RTE 2 at 9.30pm. 

Watch the trailer below:

We can't get enough of sassy Blue Ivy and so we were delighted when her superstar mum Beyonce decided to post a rare snap of the child to her Instagram. 

And it seems Blue is a total girly girl through and through as they snap showed her playing around in her Mum's make-up bag. 

The 4-year-old was snapped donning pretty crystals across her forehead, pink lippie and some rather questionable eyeliner (though an admirable attempt for a first try Blue!) 

 

A photo posted by Beyoncé (@beyonce) on

Continue doing you, Blue, is our advice. 

Two hours earlier, Bey posted a snap of herself also working some intense make-up including a gorgeous gold lip a the pair were backstage at a music video shoot, according to the Daily Mail. 

The star also shared snaps from her recent video with Coldplay for the song Hymn for the Weekend.
