We may associate Maisie Williams with being a child star, but she's already 18 and looks every part the woman in her latest cover shoot for In Style. 

The Game of Thrones actress has hinted to having a man on the scene before, but she finally opened up about her relationship. 

"We've been together for over a year. I guess you could say things are getting pretty serious. He's not famous, I met him at school. And now he's my boyfriend.

"People feel it’s strange that someone who’s famous can go out with someone who’s normal. I don’t meet anyone else. 

"Maybe I’m doing it wrong, but I don’t go to all these parties. I don’t meet the other young, male actors. I just like normal people, I guess."

They have already been together a year, but there's still no sign of her secret bae on her social media pages and it seems she would like to keep it that way. 

The star reveals that she struggles with her fame as she is actually quite shy. 

"I don't want to upset anyone.

"But like I said, sometimes I'm really quiet and so I'm stood with a fan and it's like, silence. Sometimes they walk away and I just think, god, they're really disappointed."

However, it certainly seems that the star, who started acting at the age of 13, is really all grown up. 

"I’ve come back to that point where I don’t want to do the 'tits and teeth', but I also don’t want to be angry and mean about everything. I’ll just be somewhere in the middle where I can be myself.

"I always used to say and do the right thing. But as I got older and formed my own opinions, I said things wrong and got in trouble. 

"After going through all of that, I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m never going to please everyone and so I should just be happy."

Words of wisdom.

If you were bracing yourself for a nightmare commute to work through Dublin city on Tuesday next, you can breathe a sigh of relief.

Planned strike action on March 8th has officially been called off, according to reports just now.

Although further strikes – on St Patrick's Day, Easter Sunday and Easter Monday – may go ahead, Tuesday's strike was called off to allow both sides of the current dispute to speak at the Workplace Relations Commission.

Luas drivers are currently fighting for a 53% pay rise, although SIPTU spokesman Eoin Reidy said last week that they were willing to reconsider their demands.

"We've always said that that's an opening position, we've always said we're prepared to negotiate, we've always said we're prepared to moderate that and compromise," he told the WRC.

SIPTU has also acknowledged that if drivers do strike during Easter weekend it will be "tragic," not least because of the many 1916 Rising commemorations planned for those days.

Transport Minister Pascal Donohue seems hopeful that the planned talks next week could result in a resolution to the pay dispute.

"I sincerely hope that this signals an intention to resolve the matter so that regular services, without interruption, can be resumed", he added.

If you're rocking a serious rack, then you'll know only too well how much stress those ladies can cause on a daily basis, right?

From wardrobe malfunctions to back pain, these DDs of ours definitely aren't all they're cracked up to be, but try telling that to someone desperately stuffing chicken fillets down their bra.

Having a cleavage that rivals Christina Hendricks is not ALWAYS awful (we can rock Fifties style like pros), but sometimes it is. Sometimes it really, really is.

Case in point:

1. The shopping factor
Girlie retail therapy with your less-endowed pals is a no-go if bra shopping is on the agenda.

“Don't mind me, I'll just be in here with Margo and her measuring tape for the next few hours.”

 

2. The shirt factor
You either fasten that annoying button and rock your inner Lunch Lady Doris from The Simpsons or you keep it open and attract some very unwanted attention.

3. The work-out factor
You may be swinging an 18 kg bell or hitting 10 km on the crosstrainer, but when your boobs are knocking you out, these achievements are the last thing on your mind.

“Yeah whatever, I have a black eye.”

4. The cringe factor
Yes, you've been living with these curves for years, but every so often your inner pre-teen will emerge leaving you mortified by your assets.

“Oh my God, my dad knows I have BOOBS.”

5. The style factor
That high-necked, 60's-style dress looked just PERFECT on the hanger, but one quick visit to the fitting room reminds you why that style best left to our lady friends with the neat B-cups.

6. The gravity factor
You may be the envy of your smaller pals, but the first time they see you in your pyjamas without a bra, they realise how fortunate they really are.

“Knees meet boobs. Boobs? Knees.”

7. The gross factor
All boobs sweat, but big boobs? Yeah, they REALLY sweat.

“Pass the talc. I'm going in.”

8. The bikini factor
Just because you're a 12 on bottom does NOT mean you're a 12 on top, and yet those designers just won't listen.

9. The sexy factor
There are definitely times when it's fun to flaunt the girls, right?

And then there are other times when your greasy hair, un-made up face and tea-stained sweat pants aren't in keeping with the cleavage you're accidentally displaying.

10. The jewellery factor
Any girl with big boobs knows they have to choose their neck jewellery very, very carefully.

Torc-style? Fine. Long pendant that suspends from your chest like a make-shift cat toy? Not so much.

11. The seat-belt factor
Necessary? Yes. Comfortable? No.

“Time to divide and conquer, lads.”

12. The cross-body bag factor
Same as above.

“Hey, why does your bag look so much shorter on you than it does on me?! Oh…oh, right yeah, sorry.”

We got a lot of love for uber-successful plus sized model Ashley Graham. 

Not only is she challenging beauty standards in the fashion industry, but she has managed to hit back at criticism in a wonderfully poised way. 

Last week, former Sports Illustrated model Cheryl Tiegs criticised Sports Illustrated for putting Ashley on the coveted cover of the 2016 Swimsuit Edition. 

But Ashley has finally answered back after the internet quickly jumped to her defence. 

"Cheryl Tiegs may have said what she said and it may have hurt a lot of peoples feelings," Graham said to E! News

"But my skin is so thick. I kind of rolled my eyes, I was like, 'Oh whatever, another one of these ladies.' 

"But what's great is that—the fact that she said it—it means that other women think like her. And what that means is that we really need to change the industry.

"There are too many people thinking they can look at a girl my size and say that we are unhealthy. You can't, only my doctor can!"

Despite Ashley being the first plus-sized model to ever grace the swimsuit issue of the magazine, Cheryl did not have positive comments. 

"Actually I don’t like it that we’re talking about full figured women because it’s glamorising them," said the 68-year-old to E! News. 

"Your waist should be smaller than 35 inches. That’s what Dr.Oz [American health expert] said and I’m sticking to it.

"No I don’t think it’s healthy. Her face is beautiful. Beautiful. But I don’t think it’s healthy in the long run."

We bet you're eating your words now Cheryl.

In today's world, it's all go, all of the time and honestly it can be hard to keep up with our hectic schedules.

But a new technique has been formed that could make you sleep better, work better and be more productive.

According to author Craig Ballantyne, the 10-3-2-1-0 formula will give you the "perfect day," leaving you well rested and energetic.

He believes that switching off at the right time before bed and sleeping well is essential and will give you loads of health benefits.

Want to know how it works? It's pretty easy:

  • 10 hours before bed: No more caffeine
  • 3 hours before bed: No more food or alcohol
  • 2 hours before bed: No more work
  • 1 hour before bed: No more screen time
  • 0: The number of times you hit the snooze button in the morning

“The single most important factor in winning your mornings and owning your days is to get up 15 minutes earlier and work on your No. 1 priority before anyone else is awake. It's that simple,” Craig told the Telegraph.

“When you follow this formula, you'll get more done and stop letting the big opportunities in your life slip away.”

We're all on for more sleep and being more energetic so we might just give this one a go.

Caitlyn Jenner has had a pretty incredible year. 

Not only has she told the world that she is trans, but if reports are to be believed the Kardashian star is planning to also adopt a child. 

According to In Touch magazine, the 66-year-old is planning to become a Mom along with her best friend Candis Cayne. 

"Caitlyn and Candis have thought about adopting an older child because there are a lot of trans kids whose parents have turned away, or who have run away from home," a source told the magazine. 

"But the ideal scenario is a baby. Being a mom is Caitlyn's dream."

And the source also revealed that Kris, Caitlyn's former partner with whom she shares two children, is not exactly thrilled with the news. 

Yep, reportedly the Kardashian matriarch thinks the plan is "a terrible idea" and that Caitlyn is "just doing it for attention."

While we're happy for the star, we don't know how much truth there is to the claims. 

In Touch has been publicly shamed by Caitlyn in the past for fabricating stories including a photoshopped picture of Caitlyn as a woman before she made her announcement that she was transitioning back in April. 

Either way, we say you keep doing you Cait.

In this day and age, and with all the controversy of it online, it's a wonder why people feel the need to body shame. We're all different, we're all beautiful – end of story.

But Tom Fletcher's wife, Giovanna, had to take it upon herself to hit back at nasty strangers who criticised her baby bump.

The mother-of-two took to Instagram to tell fans about the stranger's comment and how it affected her.

"A few days ago I had a near stranger point at my stomach, laugh and say 'Oh look, Mummy's still got her tummy'. This was eleven days after giving birth," she began.

"Yes, I still have a bump. But that bump kept my little baby boy safe for a whole nine months. That bump has filled my world with even more love and light than I knew possible. That bump is a miracle worker."

The post was filled with positivity and love and we just hope we look that good after giving birth.

If your general mood is a bit 'meh' right now, worry not, because we have just the solution.

What's better than a video of a sleeping puppy waking up from his nap, you ask? A video of EIGHTEEN sleeping puppies waking up.

This Instagram vid has gone viral since it was shared by Australian Shepherd breeders Jeff and Emily Mabey last week, and we can see why. Just look at the little fluffballs, all grumpy and sleepy as Emily wakes them up:

If cute animals and general fluffiness is your thing (of course it is), then we highly recommend following Jeff and Emily's account, Green Valley Aussies.

Why? Well, they share snaps like this on a daily basis:

Oh, and this:

And this… enough said.

You're welcome.

So plunge necklines were a feature of many of the most stunning gowns seen at this years Oscars, but we're pretty sure wearing a revealing neckline doesn't give anyone permission to scrutinise and rate your boobs. 

And yet here we are. 

National UK tabloid the Sun published the so-called 'titsee index' which rated the neckline of the top actresses at the awards show out of ten, including our very own Saoirse Ronan. 

Isn't it just hysterical? Well, no, its actually not. 

The internet is suitably enraged with many critics lamenting the fact that actresses are being rated on their appearance rather than their accomplishments.

Even though the Sun is notorious for it's use of shock tactics and questionable story angles, we reckon this one may have over-stepped the line. 

And it seems that Twitter is in total agreement:
