It's safe to say that most of us tuning in to Big Brother this year have been waiting eagerly for the moment that Scotty T and Megan McKenna were going to get it on, considering that both are single and have admitted to fancying each other since night one. 

And after playing it VERY cool for their first week in the house, it seems that it all went down last night. 

Following Megan admitting to pal Stephanie that she was fancying Scotty even more after spending time with him in the house, it seems that the Ex on the Beach star could not keep her feelings in check any longer. 

The pair can be seen playing some serious tonsil tennis in Scotty's bed late last night. 

We wonder how Jordan Davis', Megan's ex, who has not been happy with all the flirting in the house, feels about this latest development. 

What do you reckon? Real romance or total showmance? 

Watch the intimate scene below and judge for yourself:

As we reported yesterday, Nicki Minaj and Teen Mom star Farrah Abrahams had a rather nasty fight on Twitter over the past number of days. 

And while we all watched to see who would back down first, it seems that Chrissy Teigen took a front row seat and revealed what we were ALL thinking. 

The mum-to-be tweeted, "nicki minaj VS farrah abraham is not something I knew I so badly wanted before."

We hear ya, Chrissy! 

The Nicki and Farrah fight took an even bigger turn last night, as Farrah made a statement to HollywoodLife and even mentioned Nicki's brother who was charged with raping a young girl. 

"Nicki has no room to talk about my family relationships, nor insinuate I'm a porn star, or I have no idea why she is insulting Porn, again the scene had nothing to do with my sex tape, and for her to talk about my daughter, my mother and be disgusting and ghetto I no longer am supportive of her or her music.

"I have no intentions of wasting a further word on her. Keep watching my reruns Nicki and help your bro not rape people. I want to stay away from her and her family."

Woah, we don't think there has ever been such a nasty celeb battle.

A mini-break to San Francisco or a last-minute trip to Boston might sound totally out of the question given your post-Christmas bank balance, but with prices like these you might just be able to make it work.

WOW air have just launched brand new routes between Dublin and USA/Canada, with fares starting at €199 one way including taxes and charges.

The Icelandic airline operates all flights with a stopover in Reykjavik, their main transport hub, and it's the first low-cost airline to offer transatlantic routes out of Ireland.

WOW currently flies to Boston and Washington DC, and will offer regular flights to LA and San Francisco from June, plus Toronto and Montréal from May.

"This is a game changer for WOW air, and arguably the travel industry, making travel to the US and Iceland both easy and affordable from Ireland," said WOW's founder Skuli Mogensen of the new routes.

"We are thrilled to add Los Angeles and San Francisco to our fast growing network."

As well as the North American destinations, WOW also flies from Dublin to Reykjavik for €95 one way, which is handy if you're planning a trip to Airwaves festival in the Icelandic capital this year.

Right, we're off to empty our bank balance of our last few hundred quid. See you in LA…

We all loved him and his twin brother in Desperate Housewives as the Scavo twins, and now Charlie Carver has come out as gay. 

The actor came out on Instagram last night in a series of heartwarming posts, which explained in detail his feelings towards revealing his true self to the public. 

A total of five posts were uploaded to his page, with the exact same picture that read, "Be who you needed when you were younger."

We're delighted that Charlie can now be himself to the world, and reading his IG posts below will warm your heart: 

 

Pt 1: “Be who you needed when you were younger”. About a year ago, I saw this photo while casually scrolling through my Instagram one morning. I’m not one for inspirational quotes, particularly ones attributed to “Mx Anonymous”- something mean in me rebukes the pithiness of proverbs, choosing to judge them as trite instead of possibly-generally-wise, resonant, or helpful. And in the case of the good ol’ Anonymous kind, I felt that there was something to be said for the missing context. Who wrote or said the damn words? Why? And to/for who in particular? Nonetheless, I screen-capped the picture and saved it. It struck me for some reason, finding itself likeable enough to join the ranks of the “favorites” album on my phone. I’d see it there almost daily, a small version of it next to my other “favorites”; I’d see it every time I checked into the gym, pulled up a picture of my insurance cards, my driver’s license…. Important Documents. And over the course of about-a-year, it became clear why the inspirational photo had called out to me. As a young boy, I knew I wanted to be an actor. I knew I wanted to be a lot of things! I thought I wanted to be a painter, a soccer player, a stegosaurus… But the acting thing stuck. It was around that age that I also knew, however abstractly, that I was different from some of the other boys in my grade. Over time, this abstract “knowing” grew and articulated itself through a painful gestation marked by feelings of despair and alienation, ending in a climax of saying three words out loud: “I am gay”. I said them to myself at first, to see how they felt. They rang true, and I hated myself for them. I was twelve. It would take me a few years before I could repeat them to anyone else, in the meantime turning the phrase over and over in my mouth until I felt comfortable and sure enough to let the words pour out again, this time to my family…

Pt 2: For anyone who can identify with that experience (and I think we all can to some degree; saying something from a place of integrity, owning and declaring oneself), the immediate and comingling sense of relief and dread might sound familiar to you. For me, and my family, it was a precious conversation, one where I felt that I’d begun to claim myself, my life, and what felt like the beginning of a very-adult-notion of my own Authenticity. For that, and for them, I am forever grateful. *Note “Coming Out” is different for everyone. You can always Come Out to yourself. Coming Out as Gay/Bi/Trans/Non-Binary/Yourself or What-Have-You is at first a personal and private experience. If you’re ready and feel safe, then think about sharing this part of yourself with others. I recognize that I was born with an immense amount of privilege, growing up in a family where my orientation was celebrated and SAFE. If you feel like you want to Come Out, make sure first and foremost that you have a support system and will be safe. I would never encourage anyone to Come Out only to find themselves in harm’s way – a disproportionate number of Homeless American (and Global) Youth are members of the LGBTQ community who were kicked out of their families and homes out of hate and prejudice. It is a major issue in-and-of itself, and a situation not worth putting oneself at risk for. The more I adjusted to living outwardly in this truth, the better I felt. But my relationship to my sexuality soon became more complicated. The acting thing HAD stuck, and at nineteen I started working in Hollywood. It was a dream come true, one I had been striving for since boyhood. But coupled with the overwhelming sense of excitement was an equally overwhelming feeling of dread- I would “have to” bisect myself into two halves, a public and private persona, the former vigilantly monitored, censored, and sterilized of anything that could reveal how I self-identified in the latter. I had my reasons, some sound and some nonsensical. I do believe in a distinction between one’s professional life and their private one…

Pt 3: After the first episode of television I shot went to air, it became clear to me that I was at least no longer anonymous. For the first time, I found myself stopped on the street, asked to take a picture by a complete stranger – part of the job I had willingly signed up for. Fame, to whatever degree, is a tricky creature. In this day and age, particularly with the access offered by social media, it demands that you be On, that you be Yourself, Always, in your work and to your fans. In this way, the distinction between public and private has become blurry, begging questions like “to what extent do I share myself? Do what extent do I have to?” When it came to this differentiation of public/private, I was of the opinion that my sexuality could stay off the table. While my Coming Out was very important for me, I wanted to believe in a world where one’s sexuality was for the most part irrelevant. That it didn’t “matter,” or that at least it was something that didn’t need to or ideally shouldn’t ever have to be announced to a stranger, a new colleague, an interviewer. Even the words “Coming Out” bothered me. I took issue with them insofar as that “Coming Out” implied being greeted with attention, attention for something I would prefer to be implicitly just Human, an attribute or adjective that was only part of how I saw my whole self. I did not want to be defined by my sexuality. Sure, I am a proud gay man, but I don’t identify as a Gay man, or a GAY man, or just gay. I identify as a lot of things, these various identifications and identities taking up equal space and making up an ever-fluid sense of Self. Furthermore, as an actor, I believed that my responsibility to the craft and the business was to remain benevolently neutral – I was a canvas, a chameleon, the next character. For the most part I had a duty to stay a Possibility in the eye of casting, directors, and the public. If I Came Out, I feared I would be limiting myself to a type, to a perception with limits that I was not professionally comfortable with. And I created in my imagination an Industry that was just as rigid in this belief as well.

Pt 4: After having the privilege of playing a range of characters, gay, straight and otherwise, I realize this is not the case. Things in this business have changed and will continue to. Thank GOD. I know that because of all of the brave men and women who’ve come out, self-identified, or couldn’t have possibly ever been “In”. So to them, I am also forever grateful. But then I saw that little photo on Instagram. Well, in truth, it had found me long after I’d made up my mind to write something like this. There were so many drafts and plans, none of them ever getting off the ground. So I bided my time, justifying the silence with the fact that I hadn’t really ever been “in”. I tried to live as authentically as I’ve known how to, as a gay guy, since that concept became available to me, only once or twice intentionally dodging the ever ill-timed question with the subtext that might have as well read “ARE YOU GAY???” I’ve lived “out,” not feeling the need to announce so. I was comfortably out in my private life. And for a time, that was enough. Things change. There’s a lot about the Now that I’m very excited about these days. I feel like more and more people, particularly young people, are striving to create a safe world for each other. We’re learning new vocabularies to help others feel heard when they try and articulate their perceived “otherness”- words like cis- and trans-, non-binary, fluid… We’re together exploring the possibilities of the Social Media Frontier, experimenting with new ways to connect, galvanize, and awaken. I get fucking MOVED every time I hear a high school voted in their transgender classmate as Prom King or Prom Queen, or when I see Twitter afire with outrage over mistreatment, brutality, and injustice. But I also mourn over what feels like a lot of anger and righteous indignance. I long for the world to be simple, for everyone to feel happy and safe in who they are as individuals and members of a community. I can only hope that the beginning of this unrest is productive, something our generation(s) is moving through in order to end up someplace better.

Pt 5: But what can I do? How can I participate? Honesty is probably a great step in the right direction. I now believe that by omitting this part of myself from the record, I am complicit in perpetuating the suffering, fear, and shame cast upon so many in the world. In my silence, I’ve helped decide for to you too that to be gay is to be, as a young man (or young woman, young anyone), inappropriate for a professional career in the Arts (WHAAA???) So now, let the record show this- I self-identify as gay. And does that really matter anymore? As a young man, I needed a young man in Hollywood to say that- and without being a dick about it, I owe it to myself, more than anything, to be who I needed when I was younger. Happy 2016, and all my best to you and yours in the year ahead. And let the record show my twin brother is just as cool for being straight. Much Love, C

No matter what colour the dress or what statement was trying to be made, gold was totally in when it came to red carpet beauty as seen at the Golden Globes. 

And it lends to the versatility this shade has in terms of makeup as gold-hued eyes were paired with a range of dress and lipstick shades. 

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley rocked gold from head to toe with her bronzed, gold eyeshadow picking up the tones in her dress. Not to be washed out by too many nude shades, she used warmer brown tones to flush out the eyes. 

Meanwhile, Amber Heard picked up on the pink colours in her ensemble with a very on-trend soft, rose gold inspired eye look. 

Meanwhile Jennifer Lopez rocked a killer, red lip while allowing soft gold hues embrace the eye area with just a lick of mascara. She finished off her look with sun-kissed skin and glittering highlights across the face. 

If the Globes are anything to go by, it would seem that gold is going to be the go-to red carpet statement for our favourite celebrities this awards season. 

All the products you need to go for gold: 

Catrice Absolute Nude Eyeshadow Palette, €4.49, McCabes Pharmacy
Rimmel Sun Shimmer Maxi Bronzer, €9.49, Boots 
NARS Eyeshadow Duo in Isolde, €34, Brown Thomas

What better way to celebrate a new relationship than strolling around on the beach at sunset. 

That's where Amy Schumer's new boyfriend, Ben Hanisch, took her last night, and posted a photo on Instagram to prove it. 

The photo showed Amy all wrapped up, walking along a beautiful beach, with the sky turning yellow and pink. *Swoon*.

And adding more romantic feelings to the post, he captioned it, "There is no place I'd rather be." *Double swoon*.

However, the night before had a completely different setting, as Amy took her new beau to the Golden Globes, and thanked him on IG "for being my after date."

Aww, we just LOVE these two together.

With the One Direction hiatus officially under way, it seems that Louis Tomlinson is planning a big move to the states to be closer to the mother of his child, Briana Jungwirth. 

While the pair are not an item, Briana is getting very close to her due date which is believed to be later this month and according to the Mirror, Louis wants to be all set up in LA before she gives birth. 

Though he is already helping out financially and has said that he thinks Briana will make "a fabulous mother," it seems the 24-year-old popstar intends to be very much a father figure for his first child. 

"Although they're not romantically involved, Louis thinks Briana is a great woman and will be a fabulous mother," a source told the Mail Online. 

"Louis has been helping Briana financially and is prepared to get stuck in with all the tasks that caring for a baby demands."

Another factor that prompted the move was Louis' blossoming relationship with American actress, Danielle Clark. 

Danielle and Louis have been getting extremely close with the 1D star reportedly having spent a lot of time with the actress and her family. 

The relationship was confirmed when the pair packed on the PDA whilst on a skiing trip in the French alps earlier this week.

Show us a person who can stay silent while Rolling In The Deep is blaring out of their car radio, and we'll show you… a very strong-willed person.

There is no better feeling than singing your little heart out in the car when no-one (or probably everyone) can hear you.

And if you're going to do it, you might as well do it properly with a Grammy winner next to you in the passenger seat, as James Corden proves.

Adele appears on the US Late Late Show's brilliant Carpool Karaoke this Wednesday, and James showed a sneak peek of his time in the car with her on the show last night.

The preview's just over a minute long, and we're already dying to see the rest.

Just WAIT 'til you see Adele giving it socks to the chorus of both Hello and Rolling In The Deep… all while balancing a mug of tea on her lap.

Could we love her any more?

Pierce Brosnan this morning paid tribute to "a beautiful woman" after the tragic loss of his close friend Beau St Clair to ovarian cancer.

Beau, who was Pierce's producing partner for over 20 years, passed away at her home in Malibu over the weekend.

"Farewell my Darling Beau Marie… We made memories in the movies we made, and a deep friendship in the life we shared," the Irish actor wrote on Instagram today.

In a further statement released through his publicist, he mourned the loss of his "dearest friend" who had "fought this insidious disease valiantly for ten long years."

Variety reports that Pierce visited with Beau just a few hours before she passed away.

Pierce and the 69-year-old California native founded their production company Irish DreamTime in 1996, and together worked on films such as Evelyn, The Nephew and a remake of The Thomas Crown Affair.

Beau's death is no doubt made all the more difficult for Pierce by the fact that his daughter and first wife Cassandra both suffered from the same disease.

Charlotte Brosnan died of ovarian cancer in 2013, 22 years after her mother's passing in 1991.

"To watch someone you love have his or her life eaten away bit by bit by this insidious disease, that kind of sorrow becomes an indeliable part of your psyche," the actor revealed at a Stand Up For Cancer event last year.

"I held the generous, strong, beautiful hand of my first wife Cassie as ovarian cancer took her life much too soon.

"And just last year, I held the hand of my funny, wonderful daughter Charlotte before she too died from this wretched, inherited disease."

A mere matter of months since his highly publicised breakup with Lillie Lexie Gregg and only weeks following his brief rekindling of romance with Charlotte Crosby, it seems Gary Beadle is wasting no time getting back in the dating game. 

The Geordie Shore favourite was spotted out on a date with model and familiar face, Emma McVey. 

You may recognise Emma as the ex of Mario Falcone, former cast member of The Only Way is Essex. 

Gary and Emma were snapped out getting food in Leeds over the weekend sparking rumours that there was a romance blossoming between the two. 

Emma dated Mario from November of 2014 up until the summer when the TOWIE star tweeted a series of cryptic tweets one reading: "Never trust anyone… Sometimes even those closest to you are the worst."

He then went on the delete any photos of him and the stunning brunette from his Instagram before confirming to the press in October that the pair had gone their separate ways.

We're guessing that one didn't end well then. 

Meanwhile Charlotte cleared up any romance rumours between the cast members in a recent YouTube video where she describes her recent romp with Gary was just a "holiday fling" while the pair were both in London. 

They're no Char and Gaz, but what do you make of Gary's potential new lady?

It's January 12 and you know what that means! Don't you? Oh you don't? Well you should. 

It's the sixth annual Kiss a Ginger Day!

So it's about time you grabbed your nearest and dearest flame-haired friend and planted a big smacker on them. 

The day was launched on Facebook in 2009 as a response to 2008's Kick a Ginger day which sparked international outrage. Now in its sixth year, we reckon it's only a matter of time before this day becomes an internationally recognised holiday. 

To celebrate, we have lined up some redheaded celebrities that we would love to bump into today….

1) Eddie Redmayne

Toeing the line flawlessly between ginger and blonde, it's only fitting that Eddie's surname is Redmayne – considering that he literally has a red… mane…. 

2) Ed Sheeran

This one will be controversial as when it comes to Ed Sheeran, you either love him or hate him. 

From his talent to his tattoos, who are we kidding? We would definitely not miss an opportunity to plant a big one on him. 

3) Damien Lewis 

Rough around the edges, mysterious and a total dreamboat. 

We are still recovering from his topless scenes in Homeland. 

4) Rupert Grint 

Who would have thought that Ron Weasley would grow into the tall, hunky looker that he did….

He could singlehandedly make all our childhood dreams come true. 

5) Prince Harry 

Perhaps the most eligible bachelor on our list, we would take a royal romp with this prince any day. 

6) Domhnall Gleeson 

How could we do a post on redheads and not include an Irish face. 

Domhnall has been on our crush list for years but he really got our attention after holding his own on this smouldering Vogue shoot. 

Phwoar.

Passing through Kildare today? Keep your eyes peeled for a new addition to the country's roads.

Nope, it's not a statue to honour Kildare's most famous export Ray D'Arcy. Not yet, anyway. 

According to local site Kildare.ie, the Kilcock to Maynooth road is now home to Ireland's first ever Otter Crossing sign.

Apparently otters are commonly seen foraging for food on the road between the Rye River and the Royal Canal, and members of the public requested that the signs be erected there for safety's sake.

Ireland's otter population currently stands at around 12,000 – and indeed Imgur users in Cork also reported seeing what looked like otters (and not giant rats, we hope) near the Gate Cinema area of north Cork city last week.

It's an otter invasion, but not to worry, as we have the new signs to protect us.
