Actress Rose Byrne and her partner Bobby Cannavale welcomed their first son into the world just over a month ago, and this week Bobby showed the adorable little boy off to the world.

Taking a stroll while giving Rose a bit of time off, Bobby was seen carrying his newborn, Rocco in New York City.

The 45-year-old cradled his baby against his chest – and we just can't get over how cute Rocco is. 

Daddy and son were also wearing matching outfits, giving the picturesque moment even more perfection. 

Rose and Bobby have been dating for three years, and while on the Late Show, Bobby gushed about what a great mother Rose is.

"She's incredible – she's what you'd think she'd be. She's beautiful and wonderful and he's a beautiful boy."

Ah, Kanye, you just can't seem to get things right at the moment, huh? The rapper is in deep water today, and he really didn't see it coming.

The 38-year-old took to Twitter last night to share a photo of his laptop screen to show his fans he was playing Sufjan Stevens – but some eagle-eyed fans noticed something much more peculiar.

One of the tabs Kanye had opened read "Pirate Bay Torrent Xfe.." which led the viewers to believe he was illegally downloading music.

And one pretty famous DJ completely slammed him when he saw the allegations. Deadmau5 accused him of stealing the synthesiser programme which retails for nearly €200.

The DJ wrote: "What the f*** @kanyewest … Can't afford serum? D***."

But he didn't stop there. The 35-year-old music producer continued:  "Let's start a Kickstarter to help @kanyewest afford a copy of Serum.

"He needs a small loan of 200$ #prayforyeezy."

Kanye has yet to reply to the claims (but knowing him, he will soon). Saying that, we can't see this ending very well for him.

As Sunday's episode of TOWIE aired, viewers were shocked and called Gemma Collins out on her rude manner while she was on the phone to a customer.

The boutique owner then took to social media last night to slam her fans, calling them "haters," and revealing there was actually no one on the other end of the phone line.

The 35-year-old uploaded a snapshot of a positive review of her boutique in a bid to squash rumours she ran a bad shop.

She posted: "Just want to clear up … TOWIE the other night as you know it's a TV show …

"When we was filming the phone went and it was an advertising company cold caller to which I said call back in one hour …As it was NOT A CUSTOMER ….

"We have an amazing customer service ethic and haters gonna hate but truth is my shop is expanding on many levels and I love what I do customer service is key as being a car sales girl back in the day I'm sick of people trying to knock my amazing boutique which is fun friendly and excellent customer service X."

This isn't the first time Gemma has been called out on her rude attitude though. As we all know in Celebrity Big Brother, people were raged by how she acted towards other people and her TOWIE co-star James Lock also said she was "the biggest liar in Essex."

We just hope that was a cold caller and she doesn't act like a diva in real life.

Over the years there has been constant rumours about Westlife and Boyzone forming a supergroup… and now Brian McFadden and Keith Duffy are creating their own.

Boyzlife will star the two former boyband singers in a project that is funded by the Hilton hotel group.

The men will make every Westlife and Boyzone fan dreams come true as the pair are going to take to the stage to perform the biggest hits from each group.

Brian also admitted that while nothing in set in stone, he'd love the other lads to join him.

”We all had a chat, the lads. We said it would be amazing. Not even just performing together, but can you imagine the craic? he told The Sun

“Nine of us Irish lads on a tour bus together, going round the world together. It would be absolute carnage. We all get on so well so you never know.

“We would have so much fun on tour. We could end up adding more people to the next one. Right now this is about me and Keith but the door is always open.”

The lads are kicking off their tour in London on October 16 before doing 11 more gigs around Ireland.

Like many of us, this Dublin Adele fan didn't snatch up a ticket to her concert this weekend.

So, he decided to tweet the singer herself in hopes she might just see the tweet… And she DID.

Patrick, who you may remember won The Voice of Ireland last year, wrote: "I've followed @Adele since MySpace & have seen her live every time she's played in Dublin, but don't have a ticket for this weekend."

And only a few hours later, Adele replied to Patrick: "I'll sort you out my love. Can't have you missing this one x."

GAAHH. Imagine being Patrick?!

He even took to Twitter to say, "I'm afraid to go asleep in case I wake up & it was all a dream!"

We just can't get over how sound Adele is. This is a fans dream coming true.

Ten years after its TV debut, Disney Channel has announced that a new movie is in the works.

But it's not any movie, no, it's High School Musical FOUR.

MTV reports that the channel revealed the good news last night, saying that a nationwide cast search has already begun.

But don't get too excited about the original cast. Unfortunately Disney think Zac and the gang are too old for high school now but instead they plan on making it with an all-new cast (sob) and have a Romeo and Juliet/ West Side Story-type vibe.

Basically, this franchise made millions, and Disney is hoping to recreate its magic by getting their heads back in the game

Lady Gaga's performance at the Oscars last week left us with all kinds of feelings. 

Performing her song Til it Happens to You, she was joined on stage by a number of sexual assault victims in a moment that will not be forgotten easily. 

Taking to Instagram today, she described the emotional journey to the stage. 

"The first day of rehearsal with all the survivors I could barely get myself together. My body was wrecked with inflammation and pain, crying and shaking the whole walk to the stage.

"The whole night before I did not sleep. The fear of knowing I would finally face that I belonged in that group. I told them I was so sorry I couldn't be Lady Gaga for them, that I couldn't even get dressed.

"I could barely get through the song, couldn't hit any of the high notes. Hair wet, sloppy tee shirt jeans uggs, tissues. They all hugged me and told me that it was okay because it was more real this way, that they understood that they were in pain too.

"They told me they were there for me to support me because they believed this message needed to be heard. Without them I never could have felt strong.

"They accepted me for me, at my lowest and that was good enough for them, so somehow through the magic of their courage they made it good enough for me too."

We reckon Gaga slayed it. Watch the performance below:

Mean Girls may be the most iconic teen movie of our generation, but this trailer completely flips the comedy on it's head. 

Instead of a hilarious satire on high school 'mean girls', Mashable has made a trailer for Mean Girls as a romantic drama based on a secret romance between Cady and Janice. 

And it is really convincing… 

It is also a movie we would absolutely watch. 

Watch the trailer below:

Selena Gomez wore a stunning Louis Vuitton embellished gown to the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party but things did not quite go to plan. 

The Hands to Myself singer looked absolutely stunning in the floor-length silver gown but revealed that she managed to rip the dress just after having her picture taken by the VF offical photographer. 

Sharing the picture to Instagram, the 23-year-old blamed having one too many burgers as the reason for the wardrobe malfunction. 

"I legit ripped my dress right after this shot," said Selena to her followers. 

"I blame In-n-Out." 

Yep, the pop princess cited a popular American burger franchise as the reason for the dress fitting a little too snugly on the night and of course, we all know the feeling. 

Selena was joined by squad members Lorde and Taylor Swift at the star-studded after-party and we reckon they were on hand to help out their with her faux-pas. 

Ah, the perks of a perfectly formed squad.

Many people would advocate that the best part of having an ice-cream is the cone and we would tend to agree. 

And never has this been more true than the discovery of cones made from delicious, sugar-coated DONUTS. 

Yep, this new concept has the internet extremely excited even though you have to travel all the way to Prague to try them.

And as we slowly but surely creep into the time of year where it is actually appropriate to have an ice-cream and 99 machines across the country have the cobwebs swept off, never have we ever craved somewhere closeby to serve this new spin on a traditional cone. 

Because we could defo see ourselves heading out to Howth with a donut cone in hand. 

The sweet treat is made from traditional donut pastry dusted with cinammon and sugar before topped with a healthy dollap of chocolate sauce and ice-cream. 

YAS please.  

If you happen to be a luck duck and are heading to Prague in the near future, you can find donut cones at the Good Food Coffee and Bakery.

She might count Lorde, Gigi Hadid, Karlie Kloss and Lena Dunham amongst her besties, but the very first member of Taylor's squad was her childhood friend Britany Maack.

The pair have known each other since they were just a couple of weeks old, and so it was inevitable that Taylor would step up to the plate as Britany's maid of honour last month in Philadelphia, with both of them clad in custom Reem Acra courtesy of Tay.

Some luck (or Taylor-approved planning) with the wedding date meant that Tay was long finished with her world tour and so was able to head to Philly for the rehearsal dinner, wedding ceremony and reception.

So there's more than a few sightings of her in the 11-minute wedding video, which Britany shared yesterday. And there are definitely a few nuggets of info that we didn't know until now.

That Taylor performed at the reception for example:

Or that she partied 'til the wee hours on the dancefloor:

Or, most touchingly, that she made a super-cheesy but super-lovely maid of honour speech on the day. The video features some clips from the speech, which – if Britany and her husband Ben's reactions were anything to go by – went down a treat.

"He [Ben] would chase her, and pursue her through middle school and junior high and high school," she said of the happy couple. 

"And their paths would diverge, and then come back together, and it would be so magically unpredictable but at the same time, so incredibly fated, just like the best love stories are."

She also made reference to the fact that her life has gone down a drastically different path than Britany's has, but added that their friendship has always endured.

"Everything in my life has changed except for me and Britany.

"She was my partner in crime at Brownies sleepaway camp, and she was my date to the Grammys."

Too cute. Watch the video in full here:
