So, the Power of Three is making a comeback!

Yep, according to the Hollywood Reporter, Charmed is getting a revival, but it's going to be a "reimagining" of the original series.

This basically means that our fave witches will not be returning to the show. *Sobs*.

Instead, the show will take place in 1976, a few decades before the Halliwell sisters were ever in the mix.

One of the main witches, Alyssa Milano, previously said that she thought it was too soon for a Charmed reboot, but then again, she shared a throwback image of her time on the show on Instagram only a few hours ago. 

Will she make a cameo appearance? Because if she did, fans (ahem, we) would freak.

It's been a year, but now the king of love songs is BACK!

Ed Sheeran has been teasing us on social media over the last few days with pictures and lyrics, but last night he released his first track from his new album, Castle on the Hill.

The pop anthem is an ode to his childhood and his friends, and we absolutely love it.

But that wasn't it. Nope, minutes later Ed dropped another new song called Shape of You which goes down the R&B route.

If these new songs are anything to go by, we can't wait to hear the rest of his new album.

According to emerging reports, a teenage boy has died after being stabbed to death in a Dublin housing estate earlier today.

The victim, who Gardaí believe is in his late teens, was attacked at approximately 3.30 this afternoon in the Jobstown estate of Kilclare Crescent in Tallaght.

The teen, whose address has yet to be established, was pronounced dead at Tallaght Hospital.

The scene of the crime in the Dublin suburb is currently being preserved for technical examination.

While an investigation has been launched, it has been established that, thus far, no arrests have been made relating to the incident.

Oh Mikey, Mikey, Mikey, what were you thinking?

So, one guy who was clearly in need of a little attention in recent days decided to post a snap of an elderly lady who supposedly came upon his open Twitter account and decided to share a selfie with all his followers.

So far, so this millennium, right?

Except it never happened.

Unfortunately for Mikey, who purportedly fell victim to an elderly prankster named Jane, Twitter wasted no time calling BS on the entire post. 

Responding to the post, one Twitter user wrote: "Hello Michael, The next time you fake a tweet, be better about which pic you rip from Google. Have a nice day and Happy New Year. Madison."

Failing to realise that Twitter is a community of online detectives, Mikey only went and took a snap from Pinterest uploaded by a lady called Barbara Olsen who wrote: "I decided I should put a new picture of myself up on my art board."

"I took a selfie "first one with my IPad / mini, not bad for an old lady…2015, I love my horned rim glasses. The painting behind is also a fav. I will try to get a pic of it."

And if that wasn't enough, Mikey also forgot to disable his geotag setting, and inadvertently revealed he was in Sale not Manchester… where the Central Library is, in fact, located.

Twitter, unsurprisingly, is refusing to let poor ol' Mikey away with this one, and have had a field day roasting him online.

"Your life would be much easier if you took down this fake tweet instead of blocking everyone that points it out," wrote another Twitter user.

Ouch!

Way back in 1994, a die-hard Kate Moss fan decided to catch up with the model, shoot the breeze and just, you know, see how good ol' Kate was getting on in life.

Unfortunately for Fiona from Hereford, 23 long years passed before her letter was acknowledged, but the day has finally come, and today is that day.

Taking to Instagram, Kate Moss's agency shared a snap of Fiona's handwritten letter, and apologised for the (frankly unacceptable) delay.

"FOUND – Unopened fan mail from 1994! Fiona from Hereford there's a signed Kate Moss book here for you… Sorry about the wait," they wrote in a post which has attracted thousands of likes since its upload an hour ago.

And if you're wondering what Fiona had to say to Kate back at the height of the latter's modelling career, wonder no more.

Like most of us, Fiona was keen to get an insight into the model's love life, writing: "Are you going out with Johnny Depp? If so, can I have yours and his autographs and photographs please?"

But instead of merely picking Kate's brain, Fiona knew it was good manners to share some of her own information with her potential pen friend.

"I always wanted to be a model or a hairdresser. I opted for hair and beauty because I love chips and junk food and I am short so in years to comes who knows I might even be doing your hair and makeup. Fingers crossed anyway."

"This is the sweetest!! I hope she sees this!" wrote one Instagram suer while another added: "I love the bit about chips and junk food. I hear you Fiona."

Fiona, it might have taken more than two decades, but your efforts have finally paid off.

The next time you feel like bailing on your Yoga class, channel your inner Tao and remind yourself that if a 98-year-old can get her stretch on, so can you.

Tao Porcon-Lynch, the new star of Athleta's latest campaign, is taking the internet by storm right now as she draws on her own experience of positive thinking to encourage women to recognise their own strengths and potential.

The leisure and sportswear brand decided to use Tao, who began doing yoga at the tender age of 8 in India, as the face of their The Power of Positivity: Two Yogis, Stronger Together campaign, and it's safe to say we have a new hero.

Speaking to Shape magazine, Tao explains: "Aside from yoga, I love to be as active as possible. I do ballroom dancing when I’m not teaching yoga."

"I credit my active life, enjoying little luxuries I love, as well as my mindset, for my energy and happiness," she said.

Reminding us how important it is to approach the future with a positive attitude, Tao added: "What you put in your mind materialises, and I don’t put age and decay in my mind. I always look for the good and my next adventure."

Take a look at Tao in action.

I cannot even begin to cope with these AMAZING brushes…

The wonderful folks at Storybook Cosmetics (the Harry Potter makeup people) have started working on makeup brushes that resemble the rose from Beauty and the Beast. 

Yes, we are deadly serious.

Not only are these brushes giving us serious Disney vibes, but they also remind us of Romeo and Juliet.

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet," asked Juliet, famously.

The company posed an image on Instagram last week of the brushes, which are currently in production.

"We will keep you updated every step of the way! Expected early Spring!"

We'll be waiting with bated breath.

There is nothing more exciting than a new season of style, and we are definitely ready to shed our faux furs in favour of some lighter, brighter, springtime threads.

There are plenty of trends we are dying to ditch in 2017, so we've never been more eager to get to grips with spring/summer styles.

Unfortunately, our January budgets are still stretched a tad tight, but Penneys has stepped up and is already dolling out doses of fresh, forward-thinking fashion. 

Jacket €23, Trousers €16

The high street bargain store has just unveiled its Spring 2017 collection, and some of it is seriously stylish.

We love this oriental style pyjama suit, which we could see Alexa Chung rocking with a pair of block heeled, black boots and a clutch. 

Dress €25

Been dreaming of a Self Portrait dress all year but couldn't quite scrape together the funds?  

You're in luck, because this white, detailed lace dress could have stepped straight of the high-end run way. 

The high Victorian neck keeps this piece firmly in with the high street trends while maintaining an understated designer edge. 

Mules €25

Mules are still going strong in the new season.

This Penneys pair are paying homage to one of winter's most popular looks, embroidery.

While we wouldn't be long getting frost bite if we tried to go sans socks in these beauties now, snap them up when they hit stores so your can wear them all summer long. 

Jacket €23, Trousers €16

80s style, brightly coloured power suits were showcased on every designer runway, taking inspiration form America's latest presidential election and it's resounding pantsuit obsession. 

This pink Penneys style is a softer take on the trend, ideal for weddings and cocktail parties with a structured shirt and clutch or with a slouchy t-shirt and runners for a casual day time look. 

Jacket €21

Ok, we know we're getting a teeny tiny bit ahead of ourselves, but how divine would this panelled denim jacket look slung over an edgy black dress and boots for festival season?

If you can't wait until that long to wear this panelled piece, pair it with some high waisted trousers and a shirt for a casual work-to-bar look. 

Mesh dress €16

Layers of mesh and tulle are one of Spring's biggest catwalk trends, but translating the look into a real life wardrobe can be notoriously tricky.

Luckily, Penneys had created this sheer mesh shift that can be thrown over a shorter dress, t-shirt dress or even black jeans for a deconstructed nod to the tulle trend. 

We can already see ourselves emerging from Penneys, multiple bags in hand. See you in the queue!

Dublin Zoo has no doubt been celebrating all month following the birth of a male scimitar-horned oryx – a species classified as extinct in the wild.

The adorable baby was born on December 8th, and brings the herd total to four.

With his long legs, big beautiful eyes and gorgeous colouring, the youngster is simply eye-catching – and that's even without the magnificent horns that will develop as he grows. And we CANNOT wait to pop in to see him! 

Sadly, this type of animal, which was once widespread across Northern Africa, has gradually disappeared from the wild due to overhunting, habitat loss and competition with domestic livestock.

The species have now been classified as extinct in the wild by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), as there has been no definitive evidence of their presence in the wild for more than 15 years.

However, for the past three years, Dublin Zoo has financially supported the reintroduction programme for the scimitar-horned oryx in Tunisia. Through conservation breeding programmes, zoo-bred oryx have been reintroduced into semi-wild areas in four national parks across Tunisia. Currently there are over 200 oryx in such semi-wild areas.

G'wan, Dublin Zoo!
