A man has been arrested in the US for throwing a live, 3-foot long alligator through the window of a Wendy's drive-though. 

Yes, you read that sentence correctly. 

The 24-year-old Florida man reportedly threw the animal from the back of his truck through the window after picking up his order at the drive-thru of the popular US fast food outlet at Royal Palm Beach in Florida. 

Incident reports from the scene, which allegedly took place last October, show pictures of the predator in the restaurant after the bizarre event occurred. 

Joshua James was arrested yesterday on charges of tossing the 3-and-a-half foot creature into the Wendy's kitchen. 

CCTV footage from inside the restaurant shows the creature moving freely throughout the restaurant. 

Joshua is reported to have picked the creature up on the side of the road, according to Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission

Joshua reportedly yelled: "See ya later, alligator" as he drove off… 

(Okay we made that last bit up, but it was just too good to not use.)

Mere hours after reports began to circulate that Khloe Kardashian had ditched her basketball-playing beau James Harden, came the news that the reality star is now trying her hand at online dating. 

Yep, the 31-year-old star has set up her own profile on free dating site OKCupid according to a post on her website. 

"I've never done online dating before," said the Kocktails with Khloe star in her post. 

"But just for sh*ts and giggles, Malika and I decided to fill one out. It was actually really fun to do, LOL!"

And the star sure knows how to sell herself as her byline reads: "Working or hanging out with my nieces and nephews: Penelope, Mason, Reign, Saint and North!"

No hiding who she actually is then. 

According to US Weekly, Khloe said goodbye to the 26-year-old sport star weeks ago. 

Khloe, who is still married to Lamar Odom, praised James on numerous occasions for supporting her through her estranged husband's recovery after he was found unconscious in a Nevada brothel last year. 

"When Lamar isn't in physical therapy he is with Khloe. They continue to be closer than ever. No one really knows what will happen with them in the future," a source has told E! News

"Lamar has a very positive attitude – Khloe is so proud of him. She encourages and motivates him everyday."

This video has had us in stitches this morning.

The gas clip shows two drunk men attempted to wheel a broken couch up a hill in their hometown of Drumquin in Derry. 

Let's just say the transportation of the furniture did not go to plan and the expedition descended into total chaos. 

After seeing the bizarre sight underway, a man pulled over in his car to record proceedings. And thank goodness he did because the video has already racked up half a million views. 

From drunken angry shouting to a rather unfortunate tumble, you actually could not write this stuff. 

Watch the hilarious video below.

The 20-year-old can be seen to cover her modesty as she sits attractively on some wooden boxers wearing nothing some very snazzy shoes, statement jewelry and a spritz of "Chanel No 5."

The model, who is currently dating singing sensation and bona fide heartthrob Zayn Malik, took to Instagram to express her gratitude for the cover.

The Pillowtalk star retweeted a post of the new covers with some simple but very telling emojis. 

Yeah, we reckon we would be smitten too.

The Cranberries are set to regroup and tour the festival circuit this summer according to founding member, Noel Hogan. 

The guitarist and songwriter for the band took to Twitter to announce that the popular Limerick group will be doing "a few shows" this summer and we can't wait to hear which Irish festivals make the cut. 

The band, best known for their songs Zombie and Linger, have only yet announced one of the upcoming shows, which is at the Festi’neuch festival in Neuchatel, Switzerland on June 9. 

The band has not performed live together since the release of their 2009 album Roses, the bands first new material since 2001. 

We have our fingers crossed for an Electric Picnic headline spot. 

The regrouping comes just two years after lead singer Dolores O' Riordan initiated High Court proceedings against songwriter Noel Hogan. 

Though there is no reports over what the action was about, the proceedings were eventually struck out. 

Dolores is also facing four charges which include assault after she was arrested last year. In November 2014 she was arrested in Shannon Airport following a flight from New York.

We simply cannot keep up with these two. 

Audio footage has emerged of a blazing row caught between Stephanie Davis and Jeremy McConnell mere hours after the end of the Celebrity Big Brother final. 

The audio, captured by a guest at the hotel in which many of the CBB contestants were staying after the final on Friday, hears Stephanie out in a hotel corridor banging on a door after Jeremy while other housemates try to console her. 

The argument came days after Jeremy was accused of cheating on Stephanie during a personal appearance at a nightclub after he left the house. 

"Jez is leaving me, oh my God he's actually leaving us. You're actually leaving us after everything I put on the line for you. How much I love you," says the actress. 

"I love you to bits. I wanted to make love tonight."

However, the pair have since been spouting their mutual adoration for each other on Twitter 

Don't know about you, but we're getting a whiff of 'publicity stunt.' 

Listen to the bizarre footage below.

Irish actor Liam Neeson has revealed this week that he is currently romantically attached, seven years after the passing of his wife, fellow actress Natasha Richardson. 

In an interview with the Irish Independent, the Taken star revealed that he is involved with an "incredibly famous" lady but would not reveal her identity for fear of embarrassing her.

Don't do this to us Liam, we NEED to know. 

The 63-year-old did let us in on how he intended to treat his new lady. 

"I'd embarrass her if I said her name, she's incredibly famous. I'll have to do my best for her. It's amazing how far a simple bunch of freshly picked flowers will go in a lady's life, I find."

Liam's wife died suddenly after a freak accident on a family ski trip left her with fatal head injuries. 

Liam only had the strength to open up about the tragedy in an episode of 60 minutes that aired in 2014. 

"I went in to her and told her I loved her. Said, 'Sweetie, you're not coming back from this,' he recalled. 'You've banged your head.' "

"It's – I don't know if you can hear me, but that's – this is what's gone down. And we're bringing ya back to New York. All your family and friends will come."

The much-loved actor was romantically involved with British PR woman Freya St Johnston but the two-year relationship ended in 2012.

Danny O’Reilly has hit out at a political ad this week after they used his name. The front man was described as being "shafted" by the radio industry.

The Coronas member took to social media to name and shame the campaign and said he never was asked to be a part of it.

The campaign claims that Irish talent is not given enough airtime on radio stations.

However, the singer did write that "the current legislation affecting what constitutes as 'Irish music' needs to be reviewed."

We loved to hate him on Mr Selfridge, and now Leon Ockenden is set to play quite a different role.

Coronation Street has cast the bad boy to play Michelle Connor's ex-boyfriend in the soap.

The actor, who is best known for his role as Harry's son-in-law in Mr Selfridge will be playing the part of groom-to-be Will.

His first scenes will see him book an appointment with wedding planner Michelle, played by Kym Marsh, and even though the former lovers haven't seen each other in years, sparks start to fly.

We're looking forward to seeing if Will will destroy Michelle's relationship with Steve McDonald (probably) or if he'll turn out to be the good guy (probably not).

Shoppers and Tesco staff had quite the ordeal over the weekend as a man entered the local supermarket in Rush, Co Dublin and threatened to light himself on fire.

Fire crews, paramedics and the Garda rushed to the scene to try and help the man away from harm.

It was a busy Saturday afternoon when then drama unfolded. One witness told the Irish Independent that the man in his 40s walked up to the deli counter and then poured fuel over his body and on the floor.

"The man was fumbling with the lighter. I think the only reason he couldn't light the fire is because his hands were wet," the witness said.

One of the deli workers then ran to find security, who attempted to reason with the man.

Since the man wouldn't back down, the security guard tackled him and pushed him along to the fire exit.

"We could hear a staff member calling all managers to the deli – then staff were running for fire extinguishers," she said. "Then she was asking customers to evacuate the shop."

"If he had lit himself on fire, the two women working behind the deli would have been trapped in there," the witness added.

The man in question was later taken to Beaumont Hospital where he was examined by a mental health specialist.
