Now, we know The Lovely Girls competition on Craggy Island was a major hit (even if it wasn't real), and Father Ted loved it also, but there's a new competition running in Kerry, and we think it might be even better.

The Lovely Legs competition has been launched in a shop in Kerry for the run up to Valentine's Day. 

And it's not just the ladies entering, nope, the lads are in on this one too.

Men and women are being asked to send in pictures of their legs for the chance of winning €100 and a years supply of tights OR a suit, shirt and tie for the men from East River in Listowel, Kerry. 

The men's legs are being judged by Lynn and Fiona O Connor and the ladies legs are being judged by Radio Kerry DJ, Andrew Morrissey. 

If you want to apply, you have to be 18-years-old and over. The closing date is this Valentine's Day at 2pm.

So get snapping ladies… and men.

It's fair to say that when we were 18 years old, we probably cried about every single little thing that would happen in a relationship. It's completely normal.

For the most part, Kylie Jenner seems like she has it all together, she's confident and she's never seen breaking down.

Until now though, as at the end of last night's episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, a clip for next week's show saw Kylie completely fumble and cry over her boyfriend, Tyga.

In the clip, she is heard saying, "I just, like, don't know what to do about T."

She's then seen sobing, with Kourtney trying to console her, but before it went any further the clip stopped.

Relationships can be mega-difficult at any age, but we think this outburst might be because of the allegations Tyga cheated on her with a Brazilian model. 

The model, Annalu Cardoso, 23, allegedly slept with the rapper while Kylie was "out of town."

As claims her marriage is on the rocks, and even further claims that she's secretly seeing grime artist, MC Meridian Dan, Lily Allen has launched an attack at the BRIT awards for not nominating any grime or rap artists.

She slammed "music industry figures" for not paying attention to un-signed artists and said that people who "work at major labels" are focusing on the wrong thing.

The singer wrote on her Facebook page a lengthy rant about her feelings, and let's just say, she didn't hold back. 

"The voting academy consists of 1000 music industry figures', and here lies the problem, music industry figures don't necessarily care about music, they mostly care about themselves, they vote tactically for their labels artists to win or so that their competitors at other labels DON'T," she began.

"Skepta JME and Stormzy are all unsigned artists, who would gain from them winning anything? In fact them being nominated or even winning poses a direct threat to 'music industry figures'.

"Imagine if Skepta or Stormzy won , who would they thank in their speeches, who's ego would get massaged?"

"The artist could benefit immensely that's for sure this is an an example music industry figures throwing artists under the bus for personal gain and it's not a culture , it's a religion."

We can see another nominations controversy starting.

The build-up to Vanessa Hudgens playing Rizzo in Grease has been coming up fast.

She's probably the best girl around for the job, but then she hit a standstill when her father, Greg, passed away one day before the show debuted.

"I am so sad to say that last night my daddy, Greg passed away from stage 4 cancer. Thank you to everyone who kept him in your prayers," she wrote on social media.

But it's clear that Vanessa us true to her art, as she still performed the opening night. "Tonight, I do the show in his honour," she added on Twitter.

And she did just that.

As the actors and actresses took a bow in front of the Grease Ferris wheel, a message came up at the bottom of the screen. 

"In loving memory of Greg Hudgens. June 22, 1950 – January 30, 2016," the tribute read.

And Vanessa's long-time BFF, Ashley Tisdale was supporting here friend all the way though.

"There's My Girl @VanessaHudgens!!! #GreaseLive," she wrote on Twitter.

If you're a Harry Potter fan (who isn't), then you'll really wish you were at the Universal Orlando Resort right now.

The theme park hosted its third annual Harry Potter weekend celebration, and some of our favourite characters decided to pop by and surprise fans.

And what more could you ask for other than Ron and Ginny Weasley together.

Feeling nostalgic? We're loving this pic.

The actress, Bonnie Wright, shared a snap of the two ginger wizards and captioned it, "Family time."

Earlier in the weekend the HP alum also joined Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom), Katie Leung (Cho Chang) and Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood) for a panel that showed their favourite memories from the movies.

Ah, to be a kid and binge watch Harry Potter again.

Donegal is one of the most scenic counties in Ireland, and now it's getting its very own whiskey distillery.

The combo of stunning cliffs, a gealtacht, the wild atlantic way and whiskey means that Carrick in Donegal is soon going to become a hotspot for tourists.

The Sliabh Liag Distillery at Carrick in Donegal will be this first whiskey distillery in the county in over 174 years.

With the views, there really is no better place and while everything is still in the planning stages, the owners, James Doherty and Margaret Cunningham have already debuted their first whiskey called The Silkie.

We can't wait to try it.

Between photoshoots and campaigns, editorials and runways, models can be put in all sorts of situations.

But model of the moment, Kendall Jenner has revealed the weirdest thing she's done for fashion.

Speaking to Grazia, Kendall said the the strangest thing she's done was in her first ever runway for Marc Jacobs.

“Bleaching my eyebrows the first time for the Marc Jacobs show. I barely recognised myself.”

And we barely recognised her either. It was only after the show finished then everyone copped on it was Ms Jenner debuting her runway-self.

We don't know if we'd go so far for fashion though.

We think we know all there is to Harry Potter, but once more JK Rowling has revealed a little snippet of information that no one else knew about.

After the HP website, Pottermore released its newest version last week, JK gave us the details that we really wanted, and she didn't disappoint.

Yep, JK revealed that there are other wizarding schools in the world.

Mahoutokoro in Japan, Castelobruxo in Brazil, and Uagadou, in Africa. She also revealed some interesting things about the schools, too.

For instance, students that attend Mahoutokoro are given enchanted robes when they start school, which grow in size with their owners and change colour as they age and increase in skills.

And, Uagadou is the largest of all wizarding schools and welcomes students from all over the continent. Impressive.

Now, what else are you hiding from us Ms Rowling?

It seems like the whole world just can't seem to get the hang of Irish names.

After Denis Quaid messed up Saoirse Ronan's name at the Golden Globe nominations, Leonardo DiCaprio has gone and messed up Domhnall Gleeson's name at last night's SAG Awards.

Leonardo won Best Actor Award for his part in The Revenant, and while he was thanking the cast and crew, he said Domhnall Gleeson… But it didn't quite sound like the way we say it.

Instead, it kinda sounded like he said 'Duumbal' Gleeson.

Ah, we'll get there someday! Watch Mr DiCaprio's speech and spot the error:
