If you've yet to sample the delights of James Corden's Carpool Karaoke, we have two questions for you:

1. What have you been doing with your life?

2. Are you for the the best 12 minutes of your week?

The viral talk show segment has played host to some of the biggest names in the music business, and last night, The Foo Fighters finally got to hop onboard.

As usual, the band belted out some of their biggest hits including All My Life, Best Of You and Learn To Fly, but it was the impromptu detour that really caught the attention of viewers.

James brought the guys to a nearby Guitar Centre and challenged Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins to a mini drum-off, perform treating those in attendance to a rock n' roll cover of Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up.

We may have a new contender for best Carpool Karaoke of all time.

Further chaos could be in store for Ryanair passengers as frustrated pilots call for better working conditions.

According to RTÉ News, the possibility of a work-to-rule by pilots looks increasingly likely, with 33 of the airline's bases having rejected a proposed bonus scheme.

The news comes after Ryanair announced they would cancel up to 50 flights a day for the next six weeks after it mismanaged its employee holiday rota.

The company's AGM is being held this morning, with passenger refunds and crisis management expected to top the agenda.

A total of 315,000 customers were affected by the cancellations, and the airline is reportedly facing a bill of up to €20 million to compensate passengers who were left stranded.

In a statement issued yesterday afternoon, Ryanair said they expect have taken on extra customer service staff in order to deal with refund requests.

“We have taken on extra customer service teams to speed up the rate at which we accommodate and action alternative flight requests or refund applications.

“We expect to have the vast majority of these completed by the end of this week.”

Break out the velvet hair bands and get ready for a 90s throwback like no other, because Sabrina the Teenage Witch could be returning to screens as early as next year.

According to Variety, The CW and Warner Bros. Television are currently working on a new hour-long drama series based on the much-loved character.

But, there's a twist.

Should the series go ahead, it would be based on the Archie comics, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, which reimagines the adventures of the teenage witch as a dark coming-of-age story.

It's reported that the potential series would go hand-in-hand with Riverdale, a show also based on the Archie Comics.

Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, chief creative officer of Archie Comics, will serve as writer and executive producer while Lee Toland Krieger, director of Riverdale, looks set to direct and executive produce.

We can not wait for this!

Despite a rise in bloggers and influences speaking out against unrealistic beauty standards and 'perfect' Instagram shots, there are still a small minority of people who feel the need to put others down.

Sure, it would be great if all this negativity never existed in the first place, but isn't it great when a foolish attempt at body-shaming backfires completely?

Well, that's exactly what happened to Twitter user, Leyton Mokgerepi.

Earlier this week, plus-size blogger, Lesego Legobane, was stunned to discovered that her photo had been used in a meme posted by Leyton.

The image was placed beside a photo of a slender woman wearing a barely-there swimsuit, with the caption: “Girls that I like vs girls that like me.”

While these type of comparison memes are generally intended to be light-hearted and funny, Leyton's attempt was quite the opposite.

But of course, Lesego had the perfect response, simply replying: “I don't like you.”

Her reply has since racked up over 200,000 retweets and close to 700,000 likes.

Leyton later tried to backtrack by tweeting the same image along with the caption “Girlfriend goals” – but no one was buying it.

Bravo Lesego, bravo!

For the next two years, we will be living with a void in our hearts, where Game of Thrones used to be.

Most people will grin and bear it, secretly counting down the days until we can return to Westeros.

However, WE will be spending our time investing in all the merchandise we can find, from makeup to booze (and everything in-between).

With that in mind, we are pleased (and SO excited) to introduce you to the 'Dragon Fire' palette, courtesy of the magical humans at Storybook Cosmetics.

That's right ladies, there is an eyeshadow palette coming out that is completely inspired by our girl, Daenerys Targaryen.

The dreamy cosmetic company just posted a photo to their Instagram saying that they're creating a brand new palette, captioning it: "Dragon Fire Storybook Palette! Artwork approved, onto sample printing and finishing our fire shades!" 

So, while no actual shades have been released, we can pretty much assume that the colours will be warm and wonderful.

And if we're being totally honest – we don't really care what the colours are like, because we love Khaleesi so much.

While you wait for this inevitably awesome new palette, why not try Storybook's other Game of Thrones-inspired goodies?

Though their products are not official GoT produce, they're clearly inspired by the fictional world we wish we lived in. Take their dragon scale lipsticks, which went pretty viral online recently.

There is no official release date yet for the Dragon Fire palette, but you can follow Storybook Cosmetics on Instagram here for information.

We're SO EXCITED!

An investigation has been launched after a Parcel Motel depot in Lucan was raid by thieves.

The incident happened at the facility on the Newcastle Road at around 2am on Monday morning.

The Parcel Motel service allows customers to have their online purchases brought to a designated depot should they not be available at the time the delivery is due to arrive.

Various purchases were stolen after thieves forced open a number of compartments, though exact figures are not yet known.

Customers using the Adamstown depot at the Maxol Service station have been re-directed to the Lucan facility located at Texaco on the N4.

Any customers who had parcels stored at the location have been advised to email the company directly at support@parcelmotel.com

A spokesperson for the company said: “For any customers wishing to send a parcel, your label is valid at any other Parcel Motel location in the country.”

“When our Adamstown location is back up and running, we will advise customers to let them know.”

“Apologies for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your patience.”

Garda investigations are ongoing.

So, while a lot people who choose to follow a vegan diet are generally satisfied with the plant-based food products available to them, most will admit there are a few things they miss.

Sure, there are a number of alternatives on offer – vegan cheese, yogurt, and even chicken, to name just a few.

But there is one food product plant-based enthusiasts have not been able to replicate – until now.

Four clever food science students from the University of Udine in Italy have created a product that looks, feels and tastes exactly like a hard-boiled egg.

According to Food Navigator, it's made from a selection of legume plants (such as beans, pulses and peas), vegetable oils, a gelling agent and vegan salt.

The 'egg' is packed with protein, but unlike the real thing, it's completely cholesterol-free.

The university is reportedly in talks with companies who might be interested in manufacturing the product, meaning it could be hitting our shelves sooner rather than later.

What a time to be alive!

A survey conducted by the infamous cheating website, Victoria Milan, has revealed that Irish men the most likely to become angry when denied sex.

For the study, researchers asked 9,507 females from 23 countries to note how men react to rejection in the bedroom – and the results were very interesting indeed.

Worryingly, anger or aggressive behaviour was the most common response, with men form Ireland, Hungary and Portugal proving to be the biggest offenders.

According to the website, this unacceptable reaction is likely caused by a need to mask the deep feeling of embarrassment.

Boo-frickin-hoo.

The next most common reaction came in the form of the silent treatment, with Austrian, Swiss, Finnish and Norwegian men most likely to give their partners the cold shoulder.

Reasoning, pleading and manipulation were also common with men from Czech Republic, Greece, France, New Zealand and Poland often finding themselves barred form the bedroom by women who are sick of their tactics.

But, all hope is not lost. There actually are some men out there who can handle the rejection and don't apply pressure.

Men from Australia, Netherlands, Sweden, The UK and The United States were all found to be respectful of their partners wishes – so, you'll just need to start looking a bit further afield.

After almost 10 years together, one of Hollywood's most beloved couples have decided to call it quits.

According to US Weekly, Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christensen have called time on their decade-long relationship and are now living in separate cities.

The pair, both 36, welcomed their daughter Briar Rose in October 2014.

A source told the magazine: “They’ve been on the outs for a couple of months. They are completely, officially done.”

Ouch.

Rachel and Hayden met back in 2009 on the set of Jumper, and were engaged shortly after, though a brief blip in the relationship saw the couple call of their engagement in 2010.

However, the separation didn't last long and the pair reconciled three months later.

In a 2013 in interview with Cosmopolitan, the O.C actress opened up about their relationship.

“I'm a really good girlfriend — I always put all that first in my life. I'm definitely the person who would make him his favourite dinner to come home to.”

“I love to cook, so we make dinner at home a lot and watch movies.”

In a follow up interview with Cosmopolitan UK opened up about her love of romance:

“To have a partner is one of the greatest things. I've always been a fan of love! I love any movie or book or anything to do with love because I'm a romantic.”

First Chris and Anna, now Rachel and Hayden?

Sorry guys, love is officially dead.
