Fashion mega-brand and noughties favourite Abercrombie & Fitch has filed High Court action against a small clothes shop in Claremorris, Co Mayo. 

What issue could a huge fashion house like A&F have with a local Mayo business?

Well it's all down to a debate about the name, according to The Times. 

Holly Star/Facebook

A&F claims that the stores name and logo breaches the copyright of the Hollister brand.

The shop, called Holly Star uses an eagle as its brand logo, while Hollister's branding utilises the silhouette of a seagull. 

The shop stocks mens, womens, and childrens clothing, including brands like Freddy, Oaklands and Super Dry, which can be seen on their Facebook page.

Was anyone else up early enough to witness the blizzard that unfolded this morning? 

Met Éireann has issued a status yellow weather alert as temperatures plummeted last night, and warns of more snow and ice to come.

"Very cold today, with frost, ice and lying snow in many areas at first," says the national weather forecaster.  

"A bright day in most areas, with sunny spells and showers, some falling as snow in the early morning, but mostly of rain, hail and sleet during the day, some of them heavy, with isolated thunderstorms, especially in the west and northwest."

Clearly winter isn't quite done with us yet. 

AA Roadwatch has also issued a warning, reminding drivers to be extra careful today during the difficult driving conditions. 

"Give yourself plenty of time to reach your destination and use major routes as they are more likely to have been gritted than secondary roads."

"Remember, stopping distances are 10 times longer in ice and snow."

Clearly Ireland has a lot of Disney Fans, as Beauty and the Beast set an Irish box office record over the weekend, grossing €2,200,000. 

This mega-sum makes the film the most high earning three-day opening weekend in Irish box office history, despite us all being busy with Paddy's Day. 

"Beauty And The Beast enchanted Irish audiences with the biggest opening weekend in history," reads a tweet on the Disney Ireland Twitter page.

"This tale as old as time will continue to ring on in hearts after the last petal falls."

The film is a live-action adaptation of the animated classic, starring Harry Potter heroine Emma Watson as Belle, and Dan Stevens as the Beast.

The film also stars Ewan McGregor as Lumière, Ian McKellen as Cogsworth, Emma Thompson as Mrs. Potts, Stanley Tucci as Cadenza, and Kevin Kline as Maurice alongside Belle and the Beast.

The former Deputy First Minister of Northern Ireland, Martin McGuinness, has died this morning. 

The former Minister passed away aged 66 after a short illness.

President Michael D Higgins has paid tribute to Mr McGuinness for his contribution to the peace process in Northern Ireland.

"As President of Ireland, I wish to pay tribute to his immense contribution to the advancement of peace and reconciliation in Northern Ireland – a contribution which has rightly been recognised across all shades of opinion," said the President in a statement. 

"As a political colleague of many years, and having participated together in the Presidential election campaign of 2011 that brought us all over Ireland, Sabina and I have appreciated both Martin McGuinness’ warmth and his unfailing courtesy."

"In addition to his services in public life, as an inclusive believer in community in all its forms he will also be remembered for his warm support for Derry GAA and Derry FC." 

"His death leaves a gap that will be difficult to fill. May he rest in peace.”

Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams TD also paid his respects to Mr McGuinness this morning: 

“Throughout his life Martin showed great determination, dignity and humility and it was no different during his short illness."

“He was a passionate republican who worked tirelessly for peace and reconciliation and for the re-unification of his country."

"But above all he loved his family and the people of Derry and he was immensely proud of both."

It’s yet another congratulations today, this time for Gal Gadot who has welcomed her second child.

The Wonder Woman star took to Instagram to announce the news, saying:

“And then we were four. She is here, Maya. I feel so completely blessed and thankful for all the wonders in my life.”

The star shared the news alongside a picture of herself, husband Yaron Versano and their eldest daughter, Alma.

The Israeli actress has shared many sweet moments throughout her pregnancy with fans.

Last week, the actress took to Instagram in a candid moment and said:

“Today I had a moment with myself when I was looking out the window at the beautiful clear blue sky, and I realised that I’m nine months pregnant and soon will have a new lovepup as an addition to our family.”

Well, those nine months are up, and Gal seems delighted to have welcomed her second daughter.

Gal and husband Yaron married back in 2008 and welcomed their first daughter Alma in 2011.

Gal is set to light up our screens this summer in Wonder Woman.

If there's one show which is guaranteed to bring us out in a sweat, it's Don't Tell the Bride.

The thoughts of leaving the entire wedding (and the choosing of the gown) in the hands of the groom doesn't exactly inspire confidence in many brides-to-be.

And that's why it makes for such good TV.

The latest couple to take part in the emotional rollercoaster that is the RTÉ show are Nikki and Jamie who met on Plenty of Fish five years ago, 

And in keeping with the aquatic theme, Jamie opted for a blue gown for the big day.

Tune into RTÉ2 tonight at 10pm to see how Jamie's theme went down…

When Adele sings, you stop and listen.

And when she lets rip at you, you definitely take heed… as one security guard at her recent Melbourne show learned.

In footage which is doing the rounds on Twitter today, the London-born singer interrupts her performance to tell a security guard to rein in the orders he was giving her audience.

"Excuse me sir,” she said. “I know you work here but can you please stop telling people to sit down?"

Reminding him that her fans were entitled to stand up and dance if they wanted, she added: "This is a music show, if people can’t see then they can stand up. And if you’re moaning about people dancing, then what the f*ck did you come to a show for?"

"If I see one more person being told to sit down, then I swear to God…” she added as the crowd cheered her on.

Unfortunately not everyone is with Adele on this one, with numerous Twitters users criticising the singer for unnecessarily embarrassing the guard.

"Great to see #Adele belittling and embarrassing a security guard for just doing his job," wrote one.

"B*llocks. If you want to dance go to a dance hall, not a concert. A seat is exactly what it says, a seat!" added another,

Hmmm…

Remember when your mam would coat your fingernails in foul-tasting polish to stop you from nibbling on your nails?

Well, it looks like years of enduring that manky taste has finally paid off because these days you can actually get your hands on a nail polish that tastes like our favourite tipple – prosecco.

Brought to us by Groupon, the company revealed what's to be expected of the polish.

"Made with real prosecco, this lightly sparkling varnish, which comes in the shade Gold Glimmer, tastes and smells just like the real thing," they explained beneath a YouTube video promoting the product.

While licking our fingers and sucking on our nails is not something we generally tend to do (even in private), we'd be willing to give it a quick go just to see if the 'real prosecco' claims hold up.

Purely for research purposes, you understand.

After travelling to India to bring home the body of her friend Danielle McLaughlin, Donegal-native Nicole Farren delivered a speech at a memorial service in Goa in which she paid tribute to the 28-year-old and lamented the devastating way she spent her final hours.

Speaking to those gathered, Nicole said: "We can not even begin to comprehend what has happened to our amazing beautiful friend Danielle."

"It is horrific and such a tragic way to have departed this world. No one deserves the pain and suffering she endured."

"How anyone is capable of committing a brutal act such as this to another human being is beyond our understanding," she said of the discovery of her friend's body in a remote area of Canacona in Goa last Tuesday morning.

"We want justice for Danielle. She deserves justice. We know that we all want the same. Whatever community we come from. Whatever our backgrounds. We all want the same thing. Justice. So let's get it together."

Nicole went on to highlight an issue which is never far from the headlines, saying: ""If anything, we hope that this will not only make India but also the rest of the world stand up and face the facts, that there is still so much injustice for women, that in some places we are second class citizens."

"Things need to change, Women need equal rights all over the world. They should be safe always and never be scared, have to live and die in fear.

23-year-old Vikat Bhagat was arrested over the murder, with police claiming he has confessed to the attack.

Look, we've all been there, but knowing that you're not alone doesn't make it any easier when the people who are meant to have your back let you down again and again, right?

When it seems like your relationship with someone is unbalanced, and you're the only one actively participating, it's not long before you crack.

Tearful phone calls, frustrated accusations and the support of true friends is how most of us handle the disappointment, and Jen Hatton and Emma Doran are no different.

In a Facebook video which has been viewed more than 20,000 since its upload, the Facebook personalities perfectly illustatrate what it's like to feel at the end of your tether… with a certain someone.

We'll let the girls take it from here…
