If a tasty glass of wine and a good book is your picture of the perfect night in, then your going to be overjoyed with this new gadget.

A winery called Matteo Correggia has teamed up with a product design agency, Reverse Innovation, to bring you a range of wines called Librottiglia.

What is this, you ask? Well, each Librottiglia is half the size of a normal bottle and has been wrapped in a short story which complements the style of the wine. Interesting, hey?

But it gets better, the reason behind the smaller bottles is that they equal about two glasses, which the winery says is the perfect amount of wine to drink to get you through each short story.

That means you won't run out of wine while still on the last few pages of the book.

Matteo Correggia said: "Characteristics of each wine are matched to a narrative genre to create a perfectly balanced experience based on the sensory impressions and scenarios imagined in the stories."

However, there is one MAJOR downside – the stories have all been written in Italian, so we're going to have to wait until it reaches our green isle to enjoy it.

Olly Murs appeared in the Late Late Show last night and revealed what it's really like to go out partying with Niall Horan.

The singer gushed about his friend, saying that he feels like he's Niall's big brother.

“He’s brilliant, me and Niall met in 2010, when he was doing X Factor, and we’ve been mates ever since.

“Over the years, me and Niall just became really good pals. In this job, you just click with certain people, and we just got on really well, and I’m just kind of like his big brother, really."

And when it comes to going out, well, let's just say Olly can't really keep up.

“The last time I went out with Niall properly was in London, and all I remember is, he’s got his mates that come out and they’re all Irish as well – and you guys can drink!

“And I thought ‘aw yeah I can drink’ – but, no chance.

“And we went out, and I remember it was such a good night that we walked out and it was daylight, and we were like ‘oh my God, it’s like 6 o’clock in the morning'."

And when asked about the ladies: “We go out, we meet ladies, of course, yeah. A couple.”

Well, they are very lucky ladies.

Everyone wants to share a picture-perfect version of their lives online, and we all take inspiration from others – but how far is too far when it comes to copying the perfect picture?

Lauren Bullen, a 23-year-old Australian who runs the travel blog Gypsea Lust, pretty much permanently travels the world with her partner, posing for pictures in far-flung corners of the world.

The wanderluster's Instagram feed features a medley of envy-evoking scenery, blue lagoons, mountain tops, cute couple photos and breathtaking outfit snaps that have garnered her almost 800,000 followers.

Mimicking her lifestyle is completely unattainable and unaffordable, but Bullen recently accused one woman of doing just that. 

Last week, Bullen shocked her fans when she posted a blog entitled “Imitation is the Sincerest Form of Flattery”, revealing a series of images by someone named Diana Alexa.

The images eerily mimicked Bullen's original shots, down to the clothing, composition and location. Even some of the captions were copied by the other Instagrammer. 

The images were too similar to be coincidental, and Bullen called out the "creepy" way Diana Alexa shadowed her every travel expedition and outfit choice in the since-deleted blog post.

After the blog post went viral, Bullen and the copy-cat were bombarded with hate by people who claim the photos were part of a publicity stunt to gain followers, after both pages grew astronomically.

One online detective even connected the two via an archived Twitter account, in which Bullen's email address and Instagram ID appeared in Diana Alexa's profile.

Some Insta-obsessed fans have even claimed that the two girls are friends or sisters, out looking for five minutes of online fame.  

Some speculators believe that Diana Alexa is a friend of Bullen's who travelled with her, and took the same photos to draw attention to the pair's social media feeds. 

The Diana Alexa Instagram is now private, and all posts have been deleted. 

One online conspiracy theorist even went so far as to accuse the copy-cat of being Bullen in a brunette wig.

Bullen has since denied these rumours, telling Cosmopolitan: "I've heard the speculations, and honestly, it's so disappointing when you share an experience and it goes viral without you ever wanting that, and then it gets turned around and put back in your face."

"I'm seriously so disheartened that people are turning this around and accusing me," she added.

To look at the photos emerging from California right now, you would be forgiven for thinking that the sunny state is experiencing its first festive snowfall.

But, no, that’s not snow that’s taking over Santa Clara; it’s actually a giant foam blob!

According to reports, a fire suppression system at a hanger in San Jose International Airport malfunctioned yesterday, leading to the release of THOUSANDS of gallons of fire retardant foam.

After making its way over the 60-foot high hangar, the foam began filling the streets – and it’s just about the most bizarre sight filling our timelines today.

Speaking to CNN, one local described the magical scene: “It looked like snow, but as you got closer, it looked like a bubble bath gone terribly wrong.”

Needless to say, there have been some truly hilarious responses over on Twitter.

“When you use dish soap instead of dish-washing soap in the dishwasher,” tweeted one amused local.

Elsewhere, another wrote: “This apocalypse is weird as hell!”

Given how dramatic the last few weeks have been, maybe this is a sign that we all need to chillax and have a little fun…in the foam.

He may be at the top of his game right now, just a week after becoming the first UFC fighter to hold two titles at the same time, but Conor McGregor is set to take some time out.

According to UFC President Dana White, Conor has pledged not to fight again until May, after the birth of his first child with long-term partner Dee Devlin.

The decision has nothing to do with McGregor’s love of the sport or need for time off, however – it’s all for Dee's benefit.

White told the Los Angeles Times: “He won’t fight before May. His girl gets super-stressed out when he fights. He doesn’t want her having any of that stress while she’s pregnant.”

“He should take time off. He’s been fighting non-stop. Nothing wrong with him taking time off. It’s good for him and her, and it’s good for the baby,” he added.

Vogue Williams has revealed that she can become absolutely obsessed with her looks.

The former model, who currently has her own show, On The Edge, on RTÉ has admitted that when she sees herself on TV, it can be pretty difficult.

Speaking to Goss, Vogue said: “I didn’t realise how easy it was to become obsessed with the way you look.

“It’s very nerve-wracking to be judged on your body like that. I didn’t realise how easy it was to become obsessed with the way you look from doing things like that."

Talking about taking part in a bikini competition, the Dublin DJ said: “I’m very competitive so I found myself being like ‘Ugh, I don’t look like the other girls’.

“I found myself thinking things about my body that I never thought about before because I’m quite comfortable in my own skin.

“From doing that, I thought ‘This would not be for me,’ because I would be too easily influenced by the competition and easily become quite obsessed with that, but [the competitors] see it as a sport.

“I just don’t think it’s the healthiest of sports to be doing. I think that you put your body through a lot, I don’t think it’s a healthy thing to do to yourself," she added.

We'd be lost without our friends, and how many of you remember first meeting your BFF?

Was it in school, at camogie practice, or did you randomly bump into them at the middle green in your estate?

Sometimes, having that one friend is the only thing to prop you up in those dark days, and as it turns out, just like love, friendship at first sight is a legit thing that helps us along the way.

We all see and hear about love at first sight, and often wish that couple who stumbled upon each other in the pub and instantly hit it off was us, but seeing that it can happen with friends has totally lifted our spirits (because we rather have fab BFFs than a boy, any day).

A recent article in the New York Magazine explored the theory and proved that it is actually quite scientific.

One of the studies investigates the lurrrrve side of things, and states that if you believe it will happen, it will happen. 

And so, the same thing happens with friendship at first sight. So, while finding your BFF4L is great and everything, it's based on very real science.

If you get a good feeling about a person from the start, you generally make a lot of effort to keep them in your circle and explore where that relationship will go.

And on the flip-side, if you get a feeling like that girl is covering something up, you're not going to want to include her in your everyday life, and will try find anything to validate your feelings that there's something off about her.

So, at the end of the day, it's all down to your gut feeling.
