It's safe to say Game of Thrones has a pretty hardcore fanbase. 

The hugely popular fantasy series has captivated audiences across the globe, and the latest trailer has left fans shook.  

The seventh season returns this July and according to the trailer, ''The great war is here.''

In previous years, the series has kicked off around April, but this year fans must wait until mid summer to get their fix. 

The penultimate season will contain just seven episodes and will feature a cameo appearance from Ed Sheeran.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, show-runner, Davis Beniff said, “For a long time we’ve been talking about ‘the wars to come’.” 

“Well, that war is pretty much here. So it’s really about trying to find a way to make the storytelling work without feeling like we’re rushing it.”

The seventh season of Game of Thrones begins on July 16.

Tom Hardy has started a fundraising page to raise money for victims of Monday night's terror attack in Manchester.

The actor described the events as an “inconceivable atrocity” and has now set up a Just Giving page in order to gather donations for the British Red Cross Society's 'We Love Manchester Emergency Fund'. 

On the page he writes: “There is no bringing back those who have been lost, pointlessly, in such a cowardly and brutal fashion.''

“I am truly saddened by what I have witnessed and there is no doubt that terrorism is an evil thing.''

“There will be much to do and for many the beginning of a new life without those that they love and also a new life damaged irrevocably by the actions of a crime which has no reason, no heartfelt purpose but was simply a cruel cowardly and barbaric, meaningless act of violence.''

“And it is with those, the innocent victims and the witnesses of this atrocity that my heartfelt concern and deepest sympathy lies.”

The star set out to raise £15,000, but that total has since been surpassed with £17,147 raised so far. 

Meanwhile, organisations, individuals and community groups have donated over £2 million in just 24 hours to the Manchester Evening News' fundraising campaign.

We thought we were totally over remakes, as there has been a long line of them over the past few years.

But, you're going to be super excited about this reprisal, especially after you see the woman who's behind it.

The Hunger Games star and all-round badass woman Elizabeth Banks has secured the remake and we can't wait to see what she has up her sleeve.

What's more, a release date has already been set for the film – June 2019.

The actress has been hired by Sony to revitalise the TV and movie franchise, however the cast details are still being kept under wraps.

The original angels were Farrah Fawcett, Kate Jackson and Tanya Roberts, and their roles were later adapted by Cameron Diaz, Lucy Liu and Drew Barrymore in the two films released in 2000 and 2003.

So far, the only others details being made public are that Elizabeth will produce the movie along with her husband, while The Lake House director David Auburn will write the script.

You may have heard of Bang Bang Cafe in Phibsborough as the place is famous for its iconic brunch burger.

Now, the cafe is making more than a culinary gesture to the community.

In a recent Facebook post, the D7 cafe shared a snap of a 'pick me up pack,' free to anyone who needs it. 

'It's a dignity pack (a backpack with things in it) that people finding things tough, living homeless, or in some other difficultly may find useful,' reads the post.

'It's got dry high energy foods, socks, toiletries, water, towels, clean wipes, a hat and gloves and some other things.'

'They were put together by a wonderful young girl to help people in the city and her plan is to take her @Dignity Packs Ireland nationwide, when she has finished her Leaving Cert.'

The pick me up pack is an impactful way for businesses or individuals to help the homeless or struggling members of their communities.

Major kudos to Bang Bang for contributing so positively to their area, and may many local businesses follow suit.

As a mark of respect to the hundreds affected by the Monday night's atrocity in Manchester, it has been reported that much-loved fashion brand, Boohoo, donated £100,000 to a fund established to support victims of the terrorist attack.

Upon learning of the carnage which unfolded in the wake of an Ariana Grande concert at the Manchester Arena on May 22, the brand took to Twitter to express their heartache over events.

"Today we wake up to news we never imagined we would hear," they wrote referring to the death of dozens of innocent concert-goers.

"Boohoo was born and bred in Manchester – it is the place we call home. Our thoughts are with all those affected. As a sign for all those involved, our channels will remain silent for 24 hours."

Following the brand's decision to remain silent, they then responded to a crowd funding appeal put forward by the Manchester Evening News.

With the publication calling for donations, it has been revealed that the fashion line donated a staggering £100,000.

While the brand decided not to highlight their altruism, the Manchester Evening News paid tribute to their generosity in a Twitter post.

"They didn't want a big fuss but @boohoo made a £100,000 donation to #Manchester! Thank you." read the post.

Meanwhile, British food retailer, Morrisons, donated £250,000 bringing the fund to just over £1,000,000.

Monday night saw one of worst acts of terrorism the UK has ever seen.

22 people were killed and a further 59 injured after a suicide bomber detonated a device at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester Arena.

As those caught up in the event scrambled to find their loved ones, Stephen Jones, a homeless man who was sleeping near the venue, preformed a heroic act of kindness amidst the chaos. 

Speaking to ITV News, Stephen described how he pulled nails out of a little girls face.

''They needed the help. I'd like to think someone would come and help me if I needed the help,'' he said.

''It was a lot of children with blood all over them – crying and screaming. We were having to pull nails out of their arms and a couple out of this little girl’s face.''

Stephen's heroic act caught the attention of West Ham football club's co-chairman, David Sullivan and his son.

The pair then took to Twitter in an effort to track him down. 

A JustGiving page was also set up for Stephen and has raised over £21,000 so far. 

The money raised will go towards finding him permanent accommodation in Manchester.

We all fight with our baes, besties and family members occasionally, and it's those fights with the people who really know how to hurt you that sting the most. 

Whether it's a sly dig at a personality flaw you've been working on or an insecurity of yours that gets brought up, it's those horrible moments that really hurt.

'When [you're] in conflict, inevitably [you] will say something that hurts the other person using the inside information that you have on them or that they have on you,' relationship expert Hal Runkel told Business Insider.

'Everything in you wants to scream something right back at them: "Oh yeah? Well, you're starting to look like your mother!'"

According to the expert, it's not 'sorry' that will bring the argument to resolution, but 'ouch' instead.

When things are getting heated, it's at this point that you can take the 'ouch' phrase out of your arsenal and use it to your advantage. 

The relationship expert explained that the best phrase to use is: 

'Ouch. That one hurt. I don't know if you were meaning to hurt me.'

'I don't know if that's what you were going for; but that's what you did.'

It sounds like the updated version of 'I'm not mad, just disappointed,' and if 'ouch' instils fear into the hearts of our opponents the way that phrase used to in our teens, we're using it.

As many brides-to-be will know, planning a wedding takes a lot of work.

There's the dress, the rings, the venue, the invitations, the guest list… and of course, the wedding hashtag.

A wedding hashtag has only become popular in the past few years, and while some brides want to steer clear of social media on their big day, others opt to have a hashtag for the memories and the LOLs.

And many guests admit that it's much easier to find wedding photos on social media under a hashtag than trying to look up individual guests accounts'.

So, say hello to the Wedding Hashtag Test.

This new website is basically a time machine to the 90s, as it not only generates a hashtag, but it also calculates you and your significant other's compatibility.

You'll feel like you're doing a ~*groovy*~ test from a teen magazine.

But, it's really fun and you'll no doubt have a laugh with your partner when you only score a compatibility rate of 21 per cent.

Give it a go and let us know the gas hashtags it creates in the comments below.

It's a widely known fact that women don't orgasm as often as men through intercourse alone.

And as a result of this, we're often described as complex creatures, when the simple fact is we need more than a few short, swift thrusts in order to climax. It's not exactly rocket science.

And, according to Jannette Davies who recently featured in Channel 4 documentary The Super Orgasm, no matter how eager and dedicated your partner is to you and your needs, if you can't bring yourself to orgasm, it's unlikely your partner will be able to.

Speaking to Marie Claire, Janette, who owns a sexual positivity company called Scarlet Ladies, insists that masturbation and communication is the key to ensuring an orgasm.

"My one piece of advice for women is to get to know your body," she advised when reflecting on the obstacles faced by many women in the bedroom.

"The most important thing is learning what works for you. I understood my body because I masturbated – and that is hands down the reason why I can have multiple orgasms."

We're constantly advised to be open with our partners, but when we don't know how to achieve orgasms by ourselves, this can surely only result in a 'blind leading the blind' exchange.

"Communication is important, but you can’t communicate what you want from a partner if you don’t know yourself," Jannette reminds the public.

For many women, orgasms are as much a mental and emotional process as a physical one, so it's vital you're open to the various processes that go into achieving one.

"I think when you are in denial of any sort or have something that you are holding back it makes it 10 times harder – we all know orgasms are in your mind."

Sounds like it's time to get reacquainted with ourselves…

Here we go again.

First it was the dress, then it was the flip-flops and now there's another ambiguous photo dividing opinion online.

Twitter users have entered a huge debate over the background of the photo below. 

Some are saying it's a river, while others are adamant it's a wall.

What do you think? 

We can see where the confusion lies.

Either a river or wall would fit nicely into the outdoor picnic scene but the angle makes it difficult to determine. 

And now, just like every optical illusion – everybody's got an opinion. 

Some even got technical about it. 

After a brief office poll, we here at SHEmazing HQ are team wall all the way.
