It's TOMORROW, Gilmore Girls fans. The day we've been waiting for all year is literally just a few hours away.

While we have sooo many questions (like, WHO will Rory end up with?), we have also set our eyes on a wedding dress inspired by the woman herself, Ms. R Gilmore.

 

Don't take it from us, take it from @martha_weddings : "You HAVE to see this wedding dress" #MeetRGilmore

Bridal designer, Floravere, has envisioned what Lorelai's daughter might walk down the aisle in (if she does), and we absolutely love it.

The embroidery is subtle but stunning, and the stream-lined design is definitely perfect for Rory to say 'I do' in.

Hell, we'd love to say 'I do' in it…

Floravere explains on their website: "The R.Gilmore honours the woman who embraces tradition, but adds her own personality and verve to it, who is beautiful and smart, witty and kind, independent and deeply rooted."

TOMORROW, people.

We all know that sometimes the best way to get your mind off a break-up, is to get to work, and it seems like that's what Danny O'Reilly is going to do.

Just as the news broke of his break-up with Holly Carpenter yesterday, The Coronas front man is set to play a gig in Galway today – absolutely free.

But if you're there at the moment, you better be quick because he's set to take to the stage at 2pm outside Enable Ireland on High Street (opposite Sonny Molloy's bar).

The Front Door announced the news earlier today. “If you are in town be sure to call in or tag any friends that are fans!”

If only we could get a helicopter down…

She may be in a very happy relationship right now, but it sounds like Scarlett Moffatt's new-found fame played a role in the demise of a previous relationship if recent remarks made by an ex are anything to go by.

Opening up about the TV star who looks set to take the crown in I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here, Ian Billett revealed that the pressures of Scarlett's rising profile resulted in him calling time on their relationship.

The 30-year-old who met Scarlett at a book signing insists that he has nothing but goodwill towards her and simply feared their relationship might put the skids on her burgeoning TV career.

"It sounds like I’m a softie but her career was really starting to take off and she was being invited all over the place, the door was just opening for her," he said.

Reflecting on Scarlett's response to her newfound fame, Ian added: “She is sometimes a bit too eager to please and would never cause offence by asking someone to leave her alone."

And while Scarlett did show concern about the public's perception of her during her time with Ian, her ex insists her conduct in the jungle is "100 per cent genuine,"

According to Ian, Scarlett, who is now in a relationship with Luke Crodden, was taken aback by his decision to call time on their romance.

“She didn’t take too kindly to it at the time. It was my decision and it was the right thing to do for both of us." he insisted.

Let's call a spade a spade, if we were offered one extra minute of 2016, each and every one of us would politely decline.

As years go, it'll probably be remembered as one of the most disconcerting, disheartening and dismal one in recent history.

From the state of global politics to the passing of much-loved and high-profile figures, 2016 was the year that just wouldn't let up.

And with just five weeks until we ring in the New Year, comedy duo, Flo & Joan, have decided to take a look back at the year which opened the door to Brexit and closed the door to Barack.

Ladies, this is genius (and pretty damn catchy).

From gin-infused Christmas baubles to gin-inspired advent calendars, there's very little that doesn't improve with a quick dash of gin.

And if a little good, a lot is even better, so it's no surprise that a hotel dedicated solely to the spirit has popped up in one of the world's most glamorous capital cities – London.

Set to open on Portobello Road on Dec 16, The Distillery will become a veritable haven for gin connoisseurs who can pursue their passion across four floors.

From the Resting Room on the first floor which boasts suspended gin barrels to the first floor GinTonica restaurant, we're already planning our visit.

Oh, and if that wasn't enough, the Ginstitute, where guests can learn how to make their own gin, is being moved to the hotel in addition to a gin museum which will school guests on their favourite tipple.

"Guests can enjoy a considered selection of international spirits that have been aged in hand-built barrels suspended above the bar from which they will be directly served," a spokesperson for the hotel confirmed.

"Due to the spirit’s ongoing ageing process within the barrel, no two drinks will be the same,’ they added.

And yes, that is the sound of us swooning.

‘The most exciting parts of the project are the new and unexpected opportunities that have come with a development of this size and scale."

"We are proud purveyors of London spirit and we look forward to exciting guests from around the globe with amazing gin and other wonderful new distillates and aged spirits," they added.

Guests from around the globe? That's us they're talking about, you know.

See you there.

If there’s one way to boost your celebrity status, it’s to wear something controversial to a high profile event.

Tove Lo has become the subject of international headlines for wearing a mesh dress with an embroidered depiction of the female reproductive system on its front to last night’s ARIAs in Sydney.

The Swedish singer’s burnt orange ensemble was both celebrated and criticised on social media after she shared an image of it on Instagram with the caption: “Uterus dress for #ARIAS MADE BY @emeliejanrell.”

The Cool Girl hitmaker paired the see-through piece with Hannah Jinkins platform boots and a set of striped socks.

Fans dubbed the outspoken star “the ultimate role model”, praised her for “normalising women’s organs and bodily functions” and even suggested the dress should be sent to Melania Trump to wear.

Other comments on the thread were not as encouraging with some calling the outfit “distasteful” and others suggesting the dress was “NOT forgiving”.

If the sensation of a banging headache coincides with the sound of your alarm clock, you're not alone.

According to statistics, one in 13 people wake up with a headache (despite not having hit the vino the night before) and it turns out their sleeping position may be to blame for this one.

Highlighting the issue, Marie Claire gave us the 411 on the positions to avoid if we want to wake up bright-eyed and bushy-tailed in the morning. (Or, you know, as close to human as possible)

According to those in the know, sleeping on your front, in the foetal position or with your arm over your head put you on the fast-track to a world of pain upon waking.

These positions are known to cause tension in the neck and shoulders while, in some cases, they are responsible for cutting off circulation in this area which understandably causes discomfort.

And while it may not sound the most appealing, for those who do wake up with headaches, experts advise you to adopt the 'coffin-pose 'before drifting off as this position maintains a straight spine and allows for proper blood circulation.

Worth a try, right?

Meeting Santa as a little'un is a big deal.

Meeting Santa when you've spent your entire life playing with a toy version of him is something else entirely.

So, it's no real surprise that a one-year-old Shina Inu named Kya nearly lost her mind with excitement when her owners, siblings John and Angelina, decided to bring her to meet the man himself at the local mall

"She really loves her Santa, and she has to have it year-round,” 19-year-old Angelina told BuzzFeed. "Whenever we come home, she brings it to us."

With that in mind, John and Angelina packed Kya and their other dog Lucy in the car and prepared to meet Kya's hero.

And as you might expect, it went perfectly.

 

So I got a picture with santa and it kinda blew up on twitter go read the article on buzz feed in Bio

"She just sat there and looked at him,” Angelina said. “She usually misbehaves when we take her to Petsmart, but she was behaving for Santa."

Sharing the magic moment on Twitter, Kya managed to melt the hearts of thousands, with one writing: Why am I crying?"

"This is the best picture with Santa in the entire universe," added another one.

Ladies, you're welcome!

Look, we're not claiming we'd keep our cool if we met Tom Hanks in person, so we're not judging Harry Styles right now, but we are cringing for him after comedian Kathy Griffin shared an exchange which took place between Tom and Harry back in 2014.

In Kathy Griffin’s Celebrity Run-Ins: My A-Z Index, the popular comedian recalls an awkward moment which played out backstage at an Eagles gig when an intoxicated Harry made a beeline for Tom in an effort to, you know, shoot the breeze and talk movies.

Documenting the moment in eye-watering detail, Kathy may as well have transported us back in time as we watched Harry do what we all would have done in the presence of greatness.

Harry: Re-membah when you wuz savin’ Private Ryan and had to bring ‘im back to ‘is mum? Re-membah?

Tom Hanks politely replies with caution: Yes.

Harry: Re-membah when you wuz in Cappin Phillips? And the other guy sez, ‘Oim’ the capn’ now”? ‘Membah?

Tom, trying go figure this young man out: Yes, yes, I do remember.

Harry: Was that scaarrry?

"Even I wasn’t expecting that question. I turned to Tom: Yeah, Tom, was that scary?" Kathy wrote.

Tom, clearly trying to save Harry Styles from himself (in a way Kendall Jenner never could): Harry, have you met my friend, the comedian Kathy Griffin? (Tom really hit the word comedian hard.)

Harry was unfazed and returned his attention to the great Tom Hanks again …with the questions. It was like he was doing a memory brain teaser.

Harry: Re-membah when you wuz Forrest Gump? ‘Membah? ‘Membah?

Tom, still indulging: I was, yes.

Harry: You wuz always runnin’? Membah?

At this point, Kathy took a break from relating the exchange to chime in and remind her readers: "Yes, he was asking Tom Hanks if Tom remembers playing the role of Forrest Gump, for which he won the Academy Award."

"I can’t point out here enough how Harry Styles seemed to think it was him mission to make sure Tom Hanks did not forget the names of any of his films or the fact that he had starred in these films."

Kathy then returned to the narrative, and we're back cringing into our sleeves as Harry lumbers on with the conversation.

Harry: That was a good film.

Tom: I do remember.

Without explanation, Harry Styles turned and pivoted away. Tom Hanks had been pretty much frozen in the same sport during this magical and epic exchange. Tom’s answer was perfect and delivered very dryly:

Tom: Sometimes, I just want to drive them to rehab myself.

And that, ladies, is what happened when Harry met… Tom.

So, Kylie Jenner has just broken an online record, and she has – wait for it – Christina Aguilera to thank for it.

She may have been only five-years-old when Christina was the height of her fame, but that didn't stop her doing an amazing job channelling her inner Chrissie for Halloween this year.

And lads, it has definitely paid off.

After donning leather chaps, a striped bikini and blonde hair extensions, Kylie transformed into the Ms Aguilera of the Dirrty era, and in turn became the owner of the most watched ever video on Instagram.

 

Can I be XTINA forever

A video posted by Kylie (@kyliejenner) on

After just three weeks, footage of Kylie dancing to the pop stomper has accumulated a staggering 36.9 million views and nearly 150,000 comments.

And while fans of the youngest Jenner sister wasted no time praising both the costume and the milestone moment, other Instagram users were less impressed.

Forgetting perhaps that she was imitating another star for the purposes of Halloween, one follower wrote: "She copies everyone. No originality. The next one to have a breakdown lol!!!"

Beneath the video where Kylie asked if she could be 'Xtina forever', one responded "No, you can not be Xtina" while another added:" She a hot mess, yo."

Jeez lads, how do you really feel?

Earlier this week, Kanye West was hospitalised for exhaustion and sleep deprivation after he began “acting erratically” while visiting his trainer’s home.

While numerous celebrities have come forward in support of the rapper, few have surmised the situation as effectively as Lady Gaga.

In a series of tweets released from her official Twitter account yesterday, the Paparazzi singer praised the controversial star for his “bravery and courage” and asked the public to refrain from mocking the father of two over his mental health concerns.

 

I my family

“It’s not funny to joke about anyone’s possible or not possible mental illness,” she began.  “This is a sensitive time for many.  Let’s be kind and loving.”

“While I don’t agree with everything he does I hope the public shows compassion and [love] for @kanyewest and each other.  One love.  One race.”

The 30-year-old concluded her statement by writing: “@kanyewest I support and love u brother, I see in you bravery and courage to stop this tour and take care of YOU.  You are a GREAT artist (sic).”

 

 

Yesterday, John Legend admitted that he was with Kanye’s wife, Kim Kardashian, shortly before the Famous creator was hospitalised.

“I was concerned by what I saw,” he said.  “So hopefully he’s getting some rest and some time to figure things out.”
