Even though we knew their relationship was totally dysfunctional at times, we couldn't help but be won over by the unlikely pairing that was Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick.

As part of one of the biggest reality shows on the planet, Kourtney and Scott were hella entertaining, and we always hoped they'd reunite after calling time on their relationship shortly after the birth of their third child.

And thankfully, it looks like all the hoping and wishing has paid off.

According to HollywoodLife, the reality star couple have decided to give their relationship another chance in the hopes that it will work this time around.

Speaking to the website, a source close to the family said: "Kourtney and Scott have never been able to stay away from each other for a long period of time."

"This whole time they’ve been broken up he’s been texting her and calling her to tell her he’s still in love with her," the source revealed.

Unsurprisingly, Kourtney was reluctant to dive back in, with the inside adding: "He's hurt her so many that that she wanted to believe she was done with him or god, but the truth is she's still in love with him too."

Right now, they're trying things out, but Kourtney is insisting on taking things slowly and making sure Scott can behave himself."

Well, that's put a serious pep in our Monday step.

Just days after McDonalds announced they would be adding a Nutella burger to their menu, the folk behind Ronald’s everlasting smile have gone one further.

In addition to your standard McDonald’s staples, Irish customers will now have the opportunity to tuck into the Signature Collection which was created by the company’s team of food specialists and its prestigious Chefs’ Council.

The premium range, which features a thick cut burger served on a brioche bun comes in three flavours– Classic, Spicy and BBQ – and is the result of  experience harnessed from Michelin-starred restaurants and the company’s own supplier network… if you don’t mind.

And while yes, the notions know no bounds, we’d be lying if we said weren’t intrigued.

Oh, and if that wasn’t enough, your Signature Collection burger will be hand delivered if you opt to make use of the chain’s new Table Service feature.

That’s right ladies, you can now get your munch dropped to your table if joining the queue isn’t doing it for you.

What a time to be alive!

After X Factor contestant, Emily Middlemas, sided with the three judges who criticised her Saturday night performance, fans of the aspiring star wondered how her mentor Simon Cowell would take the perceived criticism.

And thankfully for Emily, the music mogul has held his hands up and insisted that if he knew Emily wasn't happy with her chosen song for 'disco week', he would have given her the go-ahead to change it.

After performing Wishing On a Star, the teenager was told that her performance was somewhat lacklustre – a criticism which Emily readily agreed with, saying: "I really want to do something upbeat. I've just stood on the one spot."

Taking Emily's comments on board, Simon insisted that he felt no ill will towards his act, saying: "Listen, I have a thick skin."

"I want her to be successful so we have to work very closely tonight and tomorrow to find the song we'll be happy with," he said.

"The way the process works is we choose the songs on a Sunday night when we get the jukebox result," Simon explained.

"We sit down, come up with some ideas and then routine them. Often we will change the songs if people don't like them – which does happen a lot."

"I didn't know, and maybe I'm wrong, but I didn't know Emily didn't like the track. If she didn't like it, 100 million per cent I would have changed it," he confirmed.

A little more communication next time, guys…

Good news for Aerosmith fans!

The US band have today announced that they will be taking to the stage in Dublin as part of their 'farewell tour' next summer.

Set to bring the house down at Dublin's 3Arena on June 14 next year, tickets for what is set to be an epic gig will go on sale this Friday at 9am.

The band who have been together for –  wait for it –  a staggering 45 years are said to be pumped at the prospect of performing to their European fanbase, and shared a video of a spoof news segment which shows them announcing their intentions.

"Aerosmith will return across the Atlantic with one of the greatest rock shows ever seen and will undoubtedly be the ultimate must see event of 2017 as the band embark upon this, their 'farewell' tour, saying 'Aero-Vederci Baby!" a statement from the band said.

We can't wait!

When it comes to internet crazes, the Mannequin Challenge was definitely up there with our favourites.

But like all viral fads, they tend to get old pretty quickly.

And just as our interest was beginning to wane every so slightly, a group of guys and gals at a gaf party in Ireland gave the challenge a go, and absolutely nailed it.

Uploaded to Facebook by Franky Harte, the two-minute video shows dozens of party-goers frozen in action as the camera makes its way through the crowded house.

The footage has been viewed more than 22,000 times since its upload yesterday, and we're only responsible for about 2,000.

Take a bow, lads and ladies.

Let's be honest – the only thing better than a trad session is an impromptu trad session.

And if anyone has that nailed it's Ímar – a trad group made of up of five lads from Ireland, England, Scotland and the Isle of Man – who decided to make the most of a hellish traffic jam in Germany by whipping out their instruments and taking part in a spur-of-the-moment practice session.

Setting up shopir among miles of stationary vehicles, the lads got stuck in – and the internet can't get enough.

Sharing footage of the session on Facebook, they wrote: "People often ask how we find time to practice… #tourlife #themar #faterlight.

Racking up more than 1,500 likes this weekend, the footage was clearly a major hit with the band's fans and followers.

"Lol. Nothing more than expected. Well done lads," wrote one Facebook user. "Bet you put a smile on a lot of folk stuck in that traffic jam."

"Thanks lads. Brought a smile to my face. Hup!" added another.

Now, that's how you do it.

Going through a break-up is hard enough in itself, but going through one when your loved ones show next to no sympathy is a different story altogether.

We mean, is it too much to ask that your family keep you in Haribo and Haagen-Dazs while you mourn the end of your relationship? No, it's not.

Unfortunately one teenage girl, her father never got that particular memo.

After telling his daughter to pull herself together by text, he then dealt one more crushing blow by slamming her ex's appearance in a move which has Twitter in stitches this week.
 

Sharing a screengrab of the text on social media, Daleynee wrote: "My dad is so mean lmao."

Speaking to BuzzFeed about the post which has racked up a staggering 20,00 likes in a week, Daleynee said: "I think he meant more of a stop whining because I was on the phone with one of my close friends for quite a while already."

"He tries so hard to be hip, that’s probably the funniest thing about him," she said.

We'll be honest – she's more forgiving that we would be.

After recently teasing fans and followers with sneak peeks of his latest video, John Legend officially released it over the weekend, and YouTube is struggling to cope right now.

Featuring his wife Chrissy Teigen and baby daughter Luna, the video for Love Me Now has given everyone a major case of the feels.

 

It’s here! Watch the official video for #LoveMeNow on @vevo http://smarturl.it/LoveMeNowVideo

Acknowledging the timing of the video's release, 37-year-old John told Instagram users: "We didn't think about the election when we planned the release date for this song and video. But in this time of conflict and uncertainty, it's clear that we all need more love."

"I find it in my family and in my music. Embracing my family has made today full of love and light despite the bad new," he said in reference to Donald Trump's win in the presidential election.

"But it's also important that we show love and empathy to people who may not look like us or live like us. Those who are marginalised and rejected, feared and left behind."

 

It's been quite a time for the United States and the rest of the world as we all watched the election results come in early Wednesday morning. Some of us wept for our country. Some of us celebrated. Some of us are already taking to the streets in protest. You all know how I wanted and expected the election to go. I wanted us to choose unity and inclusion over building walls and singling out ethnic and religious groups for hate and suspicion. I wanted us to choose progress over yearning for some long-lost mythical era when America was supposedly greatest. I wanted us to destroy the highest glass ceiling instead of electing an admitted sexual assaulter. But we did not. These are the election results and all of us will have to learn to deal with it. I will not give up though. I will continue to be aware and vigilant. I will continue to speak out for justice. We didn't think about the election when we planned the release date for this song and video. But in this time of conflict and uncertainty, it's clear that we all need more love. I find it in my family and in my music. Embracing my family has made today full of love and light despite the bad news. But it's also important that we show love and empathy to people who may not look like us or live like us. Those who are marginalized and rejected, feared and left behind. The video premieres Friday and features a diverse group of people from all over the world. From Standing Rock to Iraq, from Orlando to the DR. Love is universal. We all need it. We all can give it. And it will ultimately win over hate. I have to believe that. If you want to join in our celebration of love, use the hashtag #lovemenow and send us a picture of you and someone you care about.

Explaining the reasoning behind the latest track from his fifth studio album, he added: "Love is universal. We all need it. We all can give it. And it will ultimately win over hate. I have to believe that."

YouTubers wasted no time checking out the vid, with one writing: "This was so beautiful I'm tearing UP."

"Yeah, a light in the midst of political chaos," responded another.

We're just one day into the latest series of I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here, and Twitter already has their money on Gogglebox star, Scarlett Moffatt, walking away with the crown.

It looks like the 25-year-old, who rose to fame for her witty one-liners on the Channel 4 show, has already won over the vast majority of I'm a Celeb viewers if the public's reaction on social media is anything to go by.

Scarlett, who recently revealed exactly how she prepped for her time in the jungle, looks like a firm favourite to win after making a dramatic entrance into the camp alongside Gavin and Stacey star, Larry Lamb.

And the viewing public fell in love with her all over again.

Twitter, we'll let you field this one.

Considering their latest track is called Shout Out To My Ex, it's hardly surprising to hear that the Little Mix ladies love nothing more than taking aim at their ex-partners through song.

In fact, being able to do so actually makes Leigh-Anne, in particular, feel very fortunate.

Speaking to Fabulous magazine, 25-year-old Leigh-Anne says she loves using past experiences in the creative process – especially if she knows it will wind up the former men in their lives.

"We've all been through heartbreak and love, so we've written a song that girls can relate to," she said. "It's kind of an 'up yours!'

"I love that they will think: 'Oh, f**k you,' when they hear it. That's why I feel so lucky that we can express ourselves through our music." she added.

The ladies, who have been through their fair share of high-profile break-ups, say they use their material to send a message to past boyfriends.

"In my opinion, they always come back and this could be a way of saying: "Do you know what? Too late. I didn't like you anyway!"

"If your ex has been a bit of an a***hole, then it's nice to belittle them!" Leigh-Anne added.

We wonder what Zayn and Jake will make of this…
