If you dreamed about riding the Millennium Falcon or fighting a battle between the Resistance and the First Order, then it could soon be your chance for your dreams to come true.

And, Disneyland is the place where dreams come true, right?

Hell yeah it is, and it has just unveiled plans for a new Star Wars Land in its American theme parks.

Harrison Ford and robot BB-8 took to the stage to debut the plans for the new land during a celebration for Disneyland's 60th anniversary.

Mr Han Solo himself introduced the plans, saying: "Star Wars is, for lack of a better word… awesome.

"I'm so blessed that I had the opportunity to be part of it, to walk in these iconic locations. And soon, you'll be able to do that as well.

"Not in a galaxy far, far away, but in a place close to home."

What an intro, right?! No word on when the project will be finished, but we're booking a ticket first thing.

The Jungle Book was one of our favourite childhood movies. Who doesn't want to sing along with bears and monkeys, hey?

And now, this year the brand new live version of the film is hitting the big screen.

It retells the story of Mowgli and his adventures with the jungle animals, but this time there's a star-studded cast of voices including Scarlett Johansson, Bill Murray and Idris Elba.

The movie hits cinemas in April, and even though we're adults, we can't wait to see it.

So, it seems that everyone's favourite heartthrob has a bit of a BO problem.

According the Kendall Jenner, the former One Direction singer really needs to take a shower.

In the latest episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Kendall was talking to Kylie about Harry Styles improving his hygiene.

"I've asked him to shower more, and told him a little deodorant never hurts," the model said. Ouch.

But we're guessing Ken doesn't have to worry about it too much as she's keeping things easy on the dating front.

According to Daily Mail, Harry and Kendall both have big careers abd Harry doesn't want anything serious for the moment. 

"Harry doesn't want to settle down so he would never get a serious girlfriend during this phase of his life… In Harry's eyes, it was never anything official."

We're just hoping he listened to Kendall.

Room To Improve always offers up a tonne of Twitter fodder, from building plans going massively over-budget to couples speaking to each other through gritted teeth about French windows as the cameras roll merrily on.

But last night's episode was a little different. For once, there was nothing to make fun of.

The build went smoothly, the finished house was gorgeous, and the homeowners were a total delight. So much so, in fact, that Mel and Aoife gave Twitter total relationship envy.

They were just so HAPPY with the whole process…

 

That enthusiasm!

 

They didn't seem bothered by things going over-budget, or that their three-bed semi detached house in Baldoyle cost them a whopping €770,000 in total.

 

Or the fact that they had to move in with Aoife's parents for FAR longer than planned. Though why would they? Aoife's mam and dad were downright amazing too.

 

All in all, Mel and Aoife definitely take home the title of Most Agreeable Couple Ever.

 

But when it comes to feeling the love Cormac the builder wasn't left out in the cold either:

 

Sadly though, he's taken:

We're already excited for next week's episode.

If you watched the Election Special on RTÉ2 last night, there was a whole range of issues covered and Keelin Shanley was praised for handling the debate that got quite heated at times.

But if you wanted to take a break from all the serious arguments, then the sound guy was working in your favour.

Right in the middle of the debate, which was held at the Facebook headquarters, a microphone slipped and whacked Leo Varadkar right in the face.

Not many people noticed, but one man couldn't help but have a giggle at Leo's expense because, let's be honest, it was the perfect moment.

They are rarely seen together, in fact the last time all three members of Destiny's Child were together was at the Superbowl half-time show in 2013.

But last night, the gal pals were out in force for Kelly's 35th birthday.

Beyonce, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams all wore their Sunday best as they posed for pictures in Sunset Tower Hotel, Hollywood.

Also at the birthday gathering was Bey's mother, Tina and her sister Solange as well as PLL star Bianca Lawson and Rob Kardashian's ex Adrienne Bailon.

Kelly shared all the fab snaps on her Instagram page, and we just love seeing the girls let loose and having a good time.

All we're hoping for now is a Destiny's Child world tour. High hopes, we know

She sparked a lot of rumours last week when she was seen getting cosy with the one and only Leonardo DiCaprio, and now, Laura Whitmore tells us what really went down at the BAFTA after-party.

During an interview with Hello!, Laura dished that "everyone was having fun – there was a lot of dancing," but she refused to answer any questions about Leonardo.

However, she told the mag what she looks for in an ideal man.

"Someone who can make me laugh and with whom I can have fun. I love banter so someone who can keep me on my toes. I don't mind having a few arguments," she said.

"I'm not interested in big, over-the-top gestures but little things, like I'll keep the ticket stubs from a gig I was at, or a T-shirt."

Since many news outlets have issued articles about Laura and Leo, the presenter has hit back on social media, and said that the situation is "shocking."

"I studied journalism for 4 years and find it shocking that someone can write a story about nothing and make up quotes. Extremely demeaning," she tweeted.

Nobody messes with the Whitmore.

She did make a selfie book full of pictures of herself, so we can't say we're surprised she printed said selfies on a leather jacket.

Yep, Kimmy K stepped out in LA last night sporting a leather biker jacket with white pictures of her face painted all over it.

On one arm, the word 'SLAY' was painted down it, and on the other arm was 'CHILL'.

Meanwhile, Kim also showed off her post-baby body, donning a skin-tight bodycon dress with fishnet tights.

The reality star and her sisters and mother were all out for dinner at Nobu to celebrate Jonathan Cheban's birthday.

They all looked killer… but we're still not so sure about the selfie jacket.

Well, they shocked us all with their toxic relationship in the house, and many doubted they would stay together in the real world.

But as it turns out, the doubters were right and Jeremy and Steph have split.

Speaking to OK!, a rep for Jez said: "He cares really deeply for Steph, however, the pressure of the relationship was just too much.

"He really wishes it could have worked out, and he wishes Steph the very best for the future."

This comes after Jeremy went AWOL for a day and Steph decided to dye her hair platinum blonde… So, maybe the both of them were having a mini meltdown?

Either way, they both unfollowed each other on social media yesterday, which probably means the break-up is real… Even though they went ring shopping last week.

It has always been a rollercoaster with these two!

A number of high profile celebs have come forward to support Kesha on social media after her tragic court ruling last Friday.

And while most of her supporters are hashtagging and supporting her with kind words, Taylor Swift decided to do something a bit different.

The singer was called out for not raising her voice, but Tay did much more than that – she donated $250,000 (€225,000) towards her legal fees.

"In a show of support, Taylor Swift has donated $250,000 to Kesha to help with any of her financial needs during this trying time," a spokesperson told E! News.

Last night, Kesha's mother even spoke out to thank Taylor, saying, "Taylor Swift has just generously donated $250,000 to Kesha, as a show of support during this difficult time. AMAZING!!" she tweeted.

So, is Taylor some sort of angel? We beginning to think so.
