It's been 20 years since Titanic was released amid a flurry of global publicity, and in honour of the Hollywood classic's anniversary, Retro Drive-in Movies will be bringing the Di Caprio classic to the silver screen again.

Over the course of St Patrick's weekend, the world’s biggest outdoor LED screen will take up residence in Dublin's Cherrywood, and for one night only, you and the squad can revisit Jack and Rose's tragic story… and argue over whether there really was any room for Jack on that board.

And it doesn't stop there.

With a nod to the real people behind the box office smash, every ticket issued for the Titanic Drive-in will be connected to a real passenger aboard the ill fated ship, complete with the passengers name, nationality and type of ticket.

Wait, we're not done.

If Titanic isn't your thing, Retro Drive-in Movies will also be playing host to a number of other classics including Stand By Me, The Princess Bride, and Top Gun to name just three.

Tickets cost €28 (plus booking fee) per car, so if you want in on the action, pick them up here!

Emma Watson is obviously a kind an gentle soul, and between her humanitarian work and her sweet demeanour, she really is a precious human being.

Emma showed how sweet she can really be in a recent interview with a Spanish broadcaster.

Emma, recreating her first ever scene in Harry Potter, interrupted the interview to tell the journalist that she had pen on her face.

Not only did Emma inform the now blushing broadcaster about her face-to-ink ratio, but then proceeded to get up and wipe the shmutz off the girl's face herself, before calling her makeup artist in to fix the damage. 

The journalist was understandably embarrassed, but Emma attempted to put her mind at ease about the whole thing. 

"I'm so sorry! I just, I know what it's like to have something on your face," apologised the Beauty and the Beast star, who was there to chat to the journalist with co-star Dan Stevens about the upcoming flick.

Dan attempted to break the ice, by dubbing the event "the day Emma Watson did my makeup." 

Honestly, we'd take a pen to the chin if it meant Emma would give our contour the once over.

Ed Sheeran has been having a moment with Ireland, between his new song Galway Girl tugging at all of our heart strings, and his sold out Irish tour dates.

We thought all hope was lost when it came to ever getting tickets to Ed's gig, but now the singer is giving us some hope. 

The star has come up with a treasure hunt, in which people have to find the lyrics to Ed's song in an unknown place marked by coordinates on this map.

The undisclosed location has already been revealed by some fans to be Eyre Square, Galway, which is fitting seeing as Ed's one that got away clearly lives there, according to his new tune.

Ed fans have until March 10 to get down to Galway and take a picture with the lyrics to be in with a chance of winning tickets to his sold out 3 Arena gig as well as a meet and greet. 

Fans then have to upload the image it to social media with the hashtag, #DivideLyricsIE.

The M6 is going to be chock-a-block!

Being blessed with a pasty Irish complexion can make shopping for bronzing and sculpting products a little tricky.

We've all suffered through those moments where we suddenly realise that what looked like beautifully sculpted cheekbones in our bedrooms this morning, actually looks like two orange stripes lining our faces.

Unless you apply a layer or two of fake tan, most bronzers are simply too dark and orange-toned for cooler skin tones, but now one iconic bronzer is being re-launched in a shade for pasty girls. 

Benefits Hoola Bronzer is a makeup bag staple loved by the Kardashians, makeup artists, and normal girls alike.

Now the iconic bronzer is getting a long overdue paler companion, in the form of Hoola Lite.

The shade is perfect for pasty girls all year round, or for fans of a tan in the wintertime when their post-holiday glow is less prominent. 

The bronzing powder is already available online, and we can't wait to give it a try on our wintry complexions.

With mere hours to go until the weekend, we are (unsurprisingly) putting a great deal of thought into the various tipples we intend to taste test over the next 48 hours.

And while there were many contenders in the running, we're fairly certain that the first weekend of March will be dedicated to the creation and consumption of a rose raspberry G&T.

If you plan to join us on this one, here's the low-down on what you'll need.

Ingredients

  • 200g raspberry 
  • 150ml gin
  • 150ml tonic water
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 1 lime juice
  • 3 tsp rose water

Method

1. Mix the rose water with 500ml of water. Pour into an ice mold and freeze.  

2. Using a fork, crush the raspberries with the gin, sugar and lime juice. 

3. Using a blender or a food processor, crush the rose-infused ice and pour into 4 glasses, filling up to about half.

4. Divide the gin preparation among the glasses. Top with tonic water and decorate with lime slices.

You can thank us later…

Twitter is losing the plot over Ed Sheeran's new album, but one song in particular is standing out to fans. 

When Ed originally released his track list, there was one song that really caught Irish fans' eyes.

The new song, called Galway Girl, was released at midnight last night along with all the rest, and the hashtag is now trending in Ireland. 

“I’ve got a trad band called Beoga. They’re actually from Belfast, but they’ve – it’s a fiddle, a pipe, a bodhrán and piano. And we really jam,” he explained to Eoghan McDermott on his 2FM show. 

“It’s going to be good. I do think I’ll never be able to play another song in Ireland again because this will be the song."

With mentions of Guinness, Grafton Street, céili dancing and Carrickfergus, Ed's definitely paying homage to our Emerald Isle.

Whoever this song is written about clearly left a lasting impression on Ed!

We've been listening to it on repeat all morning.

Human remains have been found at the site of a former Mother and Baby Home in Tuam, Co Galway.

“These remains involved a number of individuals with age-at-death ranges from approximately 35 foetal weeks to 2-3 years,” said The Mother and Baby Homes Commission of Investigation.

“Radiocarbon dating of the samples recovered suggest that the remains date from the timeframe relevant to the operation of the Mother and Baby Home. The homes ran from 1925 to 1961."

The site has been undergoing excavations to investigate sub surface anomalies that were considered worthy of investigation.

The commission have now confirmed that “significant quantities of human remains have been discovered” in a structure which appears to have once been some kind of sewage container or septic tank. 

Children's Minister Katherine Zappone said it was "very sad and disturbing news" in a statement.

 "It was not unexpected as there were claims about human remains on the site over the last number of years."

 "Up to now we had rumours. Now we have confirmation that the remains are there, and that they date back to the time of the Mother and Baby Home, which operated in Tuam from 1925 to 1961," she said.

In a recent televised interview, Lisa Kudrow revealed that she had been subjected to misogynistic remarks while filming hit sitcom Friends.

Recalling the event while appearing on Watch What Happens Next, Lisa, who played Phoebe Buffay for ten years, explained that a guest star had obviously taken exception to her decision not to wear make-up during the show's rehearsals.

Speaking to host Andy Cohen, 53-year-old Lisa said: "I rehearsed without make-up for most of the week. And then, on show night, I'm in hair and make-up and I was told, 'Oh wow, now you're – can I say it?'"

Breaking off to check with Andy whether she should reveal the true nature of the remark, Lisa continued: "'Now you're f**kable.'

While Lisa refused to reveal who was responsible for the reprehensible comment, the actress did admit that she confided in a co-star in the aftermath.

"I told Matt LeBlanc,' Lisa laughed. 'He's like a big brother.' 

And yes, we're all racking our brains as to who would have said it…

Our Friday just got a whole lot better, as we spotted a delightful new event doing the rounds on Facebook.

The Latin Quarter Gin Fest is coming to one of the most beautiful cities in the west, and we're already so excited. 

Hosted in Galway's bustling, cultural and iconic Latin Quarter, the experience will be all the more "gin-joyable" thanks to the idyllic cobbled streets and river Corrib rushing by. 

Held March 30 to April 2, it will be well worth the road trip. After all, when is Galway not a good idea? 

Master classes and tastings, gin afternoon tea, gin trails, food and gin pairings, gin cocktails and competitions, blind tastings, new gin launches, gin experientials, along with Gins & Reels music sessions will be going on over the weekend, not to mention the multiple free workshops on offer. 

"Galway is renowned as the city of festivals, so adding Gin Fest to the programme of events is another fantastic celebration for locals and visitors to the city to savour," said the Latin Quarter Commitee.

"In the past year, bars across the country have seen such a surge in the popularity and demand for gin so we want to create a festival that brings people together from the master distillers to those who enjoy drinking gin."

Forget the international springtime mini-break, Galway is going to be unreal that weekend!

There are some Instagram accounts which make us want to literally climb inside our computers and set up home, and Created and Found is definitely up there.

The brainchild of Jette Virdi, the account showcases a range of contemporary Irish-made homeware and lifestyle products which actually has us lusting after chopping boards and wooden spoons

(And as the children of Irish Mammies, it's not often we find ourselves fantasising over a life filled with little more than wooden spoons.)

Speaking of mammies, with Mother's Day fast approaching, Created and Found could be right up your street if your mam is obsessed with all things lifestyle-related.

And if she's not? Well, more for you.

From ceramics and sundries to wood and linen, this site has us imagining the beautifully decorated home we have yet to get our hands on.

Oh, and if you do decide to gift your mum with something from Created and Found before March 20, the good folk behind the range will throw in a surprise free gift.

It's the eternal struggle, do you click checkout on your massive ASOS spree or continue to live comfortably for the rest of the month?

Two weeks of beans on toast wont be that bad when you're wearing the latest pair of embroidered biker boots, right?

Now, the exact amount of incoming cash that should be spent on new threads is officially here, and we may need to adjust our budgets somewhat. 

According to financial expert Pete Dunn at WWW, there is an exact percentage to keep your shoe spending to, and it's pretty minimal.

Of your monthly take-home, only 5 per cent should be spent on clothes, shoes and accessories. 

So, if you're on the average full time work salary of €25,000 per year, then you have about €1250 annually to spend new bits from Topshop. 

This is an average of about €105.00 a month, so not too shabby if you just need a new pair of shoes or a few Penneys bits for a weekend break away. 

Maybe we could try and stick to the 5 per cent rule for Lent and see how we get on.

But then again, we did just spot the nicest new handbag in Zara…

Usually, First Dates has us cringing behind our couch cushions as a series of Irish pairs try to find love on national television, but last night, something was a little different.

Last night the show set up the ultimate culchie power couple, Lisa and Jamie, and the sparks absolutely flew. 

Lisa from Waterford, a self-proclaimed flirt, was hoping to find the love of her life, and we kind of thought she might have found him in Jamie.

The pair instantly hit it off, and got chatting about all things farming.

When Jamie revealed he had more than one bull on his farm, Lisa concluded that he must deal with "fussy heifers" like herself on the regular.

We were seriously rooting for these two, so when things didn't quite work out, we were less than pleased.

John and Deborah were the second couple on the night, and not everyone was impressed with John's attitude.

From his aversion to public transport and his slightly unenthusiastic reaction to Deborah's maternal status, some Twitter users thought that he needed a reality check. 

Another couple got a bit deep and philosophical on their date, as a hilarious mix up ensued when Ciarán tried to pronounce the word but simply couldn't.

Luckily his date was on hand to help him out, although some Twitter users thought that they looked more like father an son than boyfriend and boyfriend. 

Sligo doorman Luke and Supermacs fan Lauren got on like a house on fire at the start, but things quickly fell apart after paying the bill. 

Lauren was less than impressed when Luke asked to split the bill, as she firmly believes that "the fella" should always pay.

Oh, and he also forgot her name, leaving him with a 0 per cent chance of obtaining a second date. 

So there was some awkwardness after all.
