Dozens of puppies have reportedly been seized at Dublin Port.

According to 98FM, Gardaí believe the pups were being smuggled out of the country illegally, since none of the animals had a pet passport.

They were all Labrador/Collie cross breeds and aged at just 10 weeks old.

All of the puppies are now in the care of the DSPCA, and will be available for adoption within the next week.

In this year alone, Gardaí have seized almost 500 dogs.

Listen, we all have those days (and nights) where we absolutely plaster on the makeup to make ourselves feel glamorous. 

However, most of the time we just want to look fresh, dewy and like we have no makeup on at all, right?!

Thankfully, the gorgeous folks at M.A.C cosmetics are releasing a new line of foundation, that will make you look like you have an Instagram filter on at all times.

The genius new foundation range balances sheer coverage, a dewy glow, and a texture that makes your skin feel like it's naked – but you'll look flawless.

The foundation is aptly named Next to Nothing, and is being released in both liquid and powder form. 

The liquid, Next to Nothing Face Colour, feels similar to a BB cream or a slightly richer tinted moisturiser – it feels weightless on the skin, and will leave you hydrated, rather than that chalky feeling of typical foundations.

The powder, Next to Nothing Pressed Powder, is soft and silky, with an almost iridescent quality – imagine your normal powder's sexy cousin, and you have this fabulous product. 

The two glorious new products are launching in April, just in time for summer and will cost €30 for the liquid, and €26 for the powder. 

We cannot wait to try this!

It looks like Celebrity Big Brother might be coming to Ireland.

Coco Television, who are behind some of our favourite shows such as Irish First Dates, Don't Tell The Bride and Room To Improve, have apparently claimed the rights to the reality show.

A source told the Irish Sun: "Big Brother has never been done in Ireland but Irish broadcasters are now so risk averse to new programme ideas, it's a safe show and could provide content for all three TV3 channels."

TV3 will reportedly secure the rights from Coco Television, so they can air the first ever Irish version of the show, to compete with RTÉ's Dancing With The Stars.

We can only image what this would be like!

We doubt he's too happy about this!

Brooklyn Beckham's ex-girlfriend, Tallia Storm, has called him an "airhead," after speaking to the Daily Mail about their relationship.

Nearly every brand, network and company played April Fool's pranks yesterday, but we have to say that Snapchat was one of our faves.

It was a subtle one, but a gas one nonetheless.

Snapchat played a joke on the photo-sharing site by adding an Instagram filter to its options.

And the funniest thing about it is at the end of the filter, it's liked by 'my_mom and 2 others'.

Slagging Instagram because mams only use it?! Harsh.

Even though April Fool's Day is over, we're hoping Instagram has a comeback.

We loved her in the early noughties with songs like I'm Like A Bird and Promiscuous.

And now Nelly Furtado is making a comeback.

The 38-year-old is back after a five year break from the music. Her last album was in 2012 with The Spirit Indestructible.

Nelly said that her new album, The Ride, comes from meeting her lifelong musical inspiration, St Vincent, while at a festival in Japan a few years ago.

She told the Herald Sun: "I am such a huge fan so I was so pleased to see her name on the bill and that she was playing the same stage.

"And then she comes up to talk to me and I'm like 'She knows who I am!' We're in my dressing room and I'm feeling like a dorky, lame pop star in front of a rock star."

We can't wait to hear the full album.

Back in 2015, everyone was super surprised that Dermot O'Leary got axed from his presenting gig on The X Factor.

But, it turns out it could have been the best thing for him now that his total net worth has sky-rocketed.

Yep, good 'ol Dermo is worth a staggering £12m (€14m), and well, fair play to him!

Dermot makes his moola mostly from The X Factor, but also pulls it in from other TV deals, like hosting the National Television Awards and the BRITs.

The Irishman also makes a bit of cash from his Saturday morning BBC2 radio show.

Well for some!

Hands up how many of you send post on the regular?

No hands? Thought so. Unless it's a thoughtful birthday card, a wedding invite or something *~businessy~*, we rarely send cards or letters anymore.

Sad, but true.

However, An Post is really trying to stay in with the cool kids lately as it has begun to sell emoji stamps.

Nope, this isn't some April Fool's joke. About two weeks ago the company released the stamps along with the words, 'Don't Worry Be Happy' written in both English and Irish.

We're not sure how to feel about this…

It looks like Batgirl is going to be a movie star!

It has been announced that Batgirl is close to getting her very own standalone movie, all thanks to filmmaker, Joss Whedon.

According to Variety, Joss just about has a deal nailed, which will see him write the script, direct and produce the flick for Warner Bros as part of the DC movie universe.

Even though Batgirl is one of the most popular heroines, she's never actually gotten her own movie, however, it is said that the flick will also feature a few familiar faces from Gotham.

The film is reportedly going to be based on th Batgirl story from the 1967 DC comic.

In this edition, Barbara Gordon, the daughter of Gotham City police commissioner James Gordon, appears as the first Batgirl in The Million Dollar Debut of Batgirl! by writer Gardner Fox and artist Carmine Infantino.

Apparently, Joss has been meeting with various Warner Bros producers in the past few months to get this film on the silver screen, so fingers crossed everything will pull through.

However, he assured fans he was OK by tweeting: “Thank you for all the messages. I’m absolutely fine. We had a very hot dressing room and I thought I was going to faint on live TV!”
