Megan McKenna has been very up front about her feeling towards Scotty T and Tiffany Pollard's flirtatious escapades in the Celebrity Big Brother house mere days after her eviction. 

Tiffany made no secret of the fact that she wanted a piece of Scotty T now that Megan was gone and it seems that her advances did not go unnoticed by the Geordie heartbreaker as the pair shared numerous drunken kisses on the show last night. 

And speaking to Rylan Clark on Big Brother's Bit on the Side, Megan has been very unimpressed with all that has gone down in her absence. 

"As soon as I leave, this happens.

"Tiffany's just horny. She comes across as desperate… I knew he would be like this. We've got a good summer planned."

Yep, it seems that Megan had high hopes for her relationship with Scotty T after their romance in the Big Brother house, but we're not sure what will happen after Scotty's most recent antics.

Tiffany was seen walking in on Scotty T in the shower on last night's steamy episode of the reality show. 

"It's so big!" the fiery reality star exclaimed after sneaking a peak of Scotty's package. 

"She definitely touched it…" said Megan after being shown the clip. 

"I'm not going to lie, I was definitely disappointed. I've only been gone a day, my bed is still warm… "

Better off without him, Megs!

While Cara may not be treading the runways herself anymore, she sure still knows how to totally steal the show. 

The 23-year-old model decided to bring her pretty pooch as her plus one for the Chanel Haute Couture SS 16 show in Paris today and it's safe to say that the pair garnered quite a bit of attention. 

Cara and her pet, who is only a few months old, sat front row for show as they watched Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid tread the catwalk. 

And it seems that the lovely pup is a total natural with the cameras as he strutted his stuff outside the show. 

While Cara's girlfriend St. Vincent was no where to be seen, it seems that the actress-turned-model had her hands full with her pet whom she affectionately refers to as her "baby boy."

In true VIP form, the pampered pooch had his own handler present at the show who took the dog outside when he got a bit restless. 

Cara has been a proud mother to Leo for two months now after she posted a barrage of pictures of her new pet to  her Instagram. 

Well seeing as Kim K made baby North sit FROW, then why not a cute lil puppy we say.

On Saturday January 2, the family of Caoilte O Broin identified his body after it was pulled from the River Liffey.

Caoilte had attempted to take his life on several occasions prior to his death, and though he was receiving treatment, his mental health had deteriorated to such a point that his family were left in fear for their own lives.

He experienced "extreme psychosis" and would scream for hours, threatening to kill both himself and his family.

"Caoilte died needlessly due to systemic failures that let families all across this country down when someone is suffering from mental health issues," the O Broin family said in a statement on Facebook.

"Caoilte died from his mental illness. This could have been prevented."

Speaking to JOE.ie before his death, Caoilte's sister Catríona said that a 'dual diagnosis' was one of the biggest barriers to him receiving the treatment he needed.

A dual diagnosis is a term used when someone suffers from a substance abuse problem – drug or alcohol addiction – alongside their anxiety, depression or another mental health issue.

"We have tried to have him committed, again and again, but we keep being told that it comes down to the drinking, and that his mental health problems are considered separately," Catríona explained.

"My brother drinks because he is in pain. He is sick. He has no hope. He sees no other way."

On Thursday February 11, the O Broin family will hold a silent candlight vigil outside Dublin's Government Buildings to petition for better treatment of those using mental health services in Ireland.

"We are seeking legislative changes so that no other family will have to endure the suffering that Caoilte and his family have had to."

All details on Facebook here for anyone who wishes to attend or show their support.

Blogging has really taken off in the past number of years, and it's safe to say that most people either know a blogger personally or are a blogger themselves. 

But, in new guidelines released by The Advertising Standards Authority in Ireland, blogging is about to drastically change.

The ASAI revealed today that they are cracking down on bloggers all over the country, with no online personality being able to talk about a product or service without letting their fans know they are getting paid to do it. 

The same rules were introduced in the UK two years ago after numerous complaints were made about full disclosure.

ASAI's chief executive, Orla Twomey told the Sunday Business Post that since bloggers are in the media, they have to follow the rules like everyone else does.

"The ASAI code requires advertisers not to mislead consumers, not to offend them, make sure advertising is truthful and that consumers know when they’re receiving marketing material," she said.

"As digital and online develop, new people come into those industries that do not have a background in traditional media and the understanding that codes apply. It’s not that we are reinventing the rules, because the rules apply to all media".

So, now if a blogger – of any kind – has worked with a brand, they need to outline it clearly on the blog post or vlog. 

They will also be asked to include hashtags on social media posts, like #ad or #sponsored to let people know money has been exchanged. 

The new standards are going to be coming into effect as soon as March 2016.

When 15-year-old Trevor Sullivan opened his eyes for the first time after receiving a brand new heart, the relief and excitement on his face was palpable. 

How do we know? 

Because Trevor's dad caught the emotional moment on camera and the 42-second video has now gone viral all over the world. 

Trevor first became ill in 2014, before suffering heart failure in early 2015. 

The Michigan teen waited a year for his turn to be given a suitable new heart and despite the considerable risks, he came out the other end happy and healthy. 

"I'm so happy," says a very emotional Trevor in the clip. "I've been waiting so long. I can breath again."

The family released the video to raise awareness about the importance of organ donation and this touching moment will most definitely have an impact.

We know January is a crappy month for everyone, but former Backstreet Boy, Nick Carter is making this month hell for himself.

The singer was arrested earlier this month at an infamous Florida bar called the Hog's Breath Saloon. 

According to TMZ, Nick "was originally escorted out of the Hog's Breath Saloon for unruly and disrespectful behaviour."

Mr Carter then became aggressive, "striking and choking" the bouncer after he was thrown out.

And now the bouncer, Skylar Carden, has filed a lawsuit against Nick, where he is stating the singer physically assaulted him. 

This comes less than a week after the 35-year-old publicly apologised on Twitter.

Last Saturday, he posted a tweet saying: "I am human and at times it can be a struggle to balance a healthy lifestyle. I'm not perfect and for that I am sorry."

He then went on to share another tweet: "When we fall we have to get up and keep on walking. I hope you stay by my side and continue to walk with me."

Mark Zuckerberg has been making a solid effort over the last year or two to really let Facebook users into his own life a little more, from giving his dog Beast a personal page to posting updates about his baby daughter.

And last night he shared another insight – this time into his fashion habits.

If you've ever seen a photo of Mark on-site at Facebook's HQ, you'll notice he always, ALWAYS, wears the same functional outfit – a light grey t-shirt and a darker grey hoody.

But if you thought the Zuckerbergs' long-suffering housekeeper was left to wash that one outfit over and over again, you'd be wrong. Instead, Mark simply has countless multiple versions of the very same t-shirt and hoody hanging in his wardrobe:

"First day back after paternity leave. What should I wear? Feeling undecided" he wrote alongside the picture showing a rack of grey t-shirt after grey t-shirt.

"I really want to clear my life to make it so that I have to make as few decisions as possible about anything except how to best serve this community," Zuckerberg explained last year of his decision to wear the same look each day,

"I feel like I'm not doing my job if I spend any of my energy on things that are silly or frivolous about my life."

Very Devil Wears Prada indeed, except we're guessing an American Apparel grey T costs slightly less than Miranda Priestly's all-black ensembles.

Louis could not contain his excitement about becoming a daddy last week and it seems that the pop star is all set to totally spoil his baby boy and her mom. 

According to numerous reports, Louis has agreed to shell out over ten thousand euro a month in child support to his baby mama, Briana Jungwirth.

All added up, this will mean that the 1D star will have shelled out over €21.m by the time the child is 18. 

The money will go towards all the baby costs as well as putting the newborn and his mum up in a luxury four-bedroom house in California. 

The baby, who is rumoured to have been named Sydney Rain, was born on Friday and the delighted Louis tweeted to confirm the news. 

"He is healthy and pretty amazing 🙂 I'm very happy!!"

Louis is so happy in fact, that he is planning to be more than generous with the cost of raising a child. 

"Louis is doing everything he can to provide for mother and baby. He’s very wealthy but is still being hugely generous in the amount he is giving," a source told The Sun. 

"He’s taking being a dad very seriously."

However, the source also suggested that the Jungwirth family were not too chuffed with the pay out. 

"There's already a lot of talk about who is going to pay what. The family have slightly exaggerated expectations of what Louis should be contributing every month."

Yikes!
