As Liam Gallagher swaggered on to the stage at the One Love Manchester concert on Sunday, gathered crowds held their breath in anticipation of the appearance of his older brother, Noel.

But as Coldplay frontman, Chris Martin, joined Liam on stage for a rendition of Live Forever, the audience and viewing public were forced to conclude that the reunion millions so desperately wanted would not take place at the Old Trafford arena on this occasion.

And with Liam taking to Twitter to criticise his brother's non-appearance at a gig which will undoubtedly go down in British history, a source close to Noel has felt compelled to speak out in Noel's defence.

While Noel may not have been present at a concert organised to honour the dozens killed and injured at an Ariana Grande concert last month, the 50-year-old rockstar has been secretly doing his bit for those affected.

With Mancunians using Don't Look Back in Anger as their anthem in the weeks that followed the terrorist atrocity at the Manchester Arena, Noel has made sure to donate all royalties from the song to the victims and their families.

Commenting on the remarks and Twitter backlash which followed Noel's non-appearance, Radio X host, Gordon Smart, shared Noel's endeavours with the public.

"Loads of amazing musicians from Manchester couldn't play the gig, but none of them have been dug out. All that has come from that night is good will from most people."

"I've seen some unpleasant headlines about Noel and why he never played the gig in Manchester at the weekend," Gordan said. 

"It's only right to point out, and I don't think this is public knowledge because I'm sure he would never mention it, but I found out today that as soon as Don't Look Back in Anger started to appear spontaneously at the vigils, he made sure all the royalties went back to the families."

"That was before any gig was mentioned," he added.

"It seems wrong to me that Noel's getting a hard time for a reunion he was never part of," Gordan asserted.

"It's a shame any attention at all has been taken away from a really special occasion at Old Trafford. But there you go, true fact. He gave his blessing for the songs without any drama at all."

We wonder if Liam has any idea…

Remember the avolatte? We thought we had reached peak hispster nonsense when an Aussie coffee shop started serving their soy coconut flat whites in pitted avocado halves, but now the madness has gone even further. 

In true hipster fashion, an even more obscure vegetable has been chosen as the vehicle for a new veggie latte. 

Take a bow, the humble carrot.

The team at Locals Corner, a Sydney based coffee shop, took to Facebook to share a snap of the abomination.

The frankenfood concept features a hollowed out carrot acting as the cup for the hot latte within. 

We get the whole waste not, want not thing, but seriously?

Just put it in a cup. 

The cafe has also previously served their lattes in hollowed out apples served on a saucer of pineapple, for when your latte makes you a little peckish for one of your five-a-day. 

And, of course, they tried their hand at the now notorious avolatte. 

Maybe we're just basic bit***s, but we'll take a paper cup over a hollowed-out carrot for our coffee any day.

Hundreds of women are taking to Twitter today to delve into the reasons why they choose to proudly wear the label of a feminist. 

The #FeministsAreEverywhere hashtag is trending in Ireland this morning, ahead of the Women's Council of Ireland's Feminists are everywhere AGM. 

 Women (and their male allies) are taking to Twitter in their droves, citing the gender pay gap, abortion rights and social equality as the catalysts that make them proud to call themselves feminists. 

'Feminists are everywhere will feature feminists in a range of areas and sectors, including feminist leaders in advocacy and campaigning, the media, in business and in the community,' reads the Women's Council of Ireland event description.

'Speakers will discuss the challenges women still face in order to become leaders and outline what needs to happen to make Ireland a more equal society.'

Want to feel inspired to tackle the patriarchy today?

Look no further than this fierce, feminist tag.

Fashion and lifestyle blogger, Sarah Hanrahan, was crowned Social Influencer of the year at the inaugural SHEmazing HP Awards last month, and we can't think of a more deserving winner. 

Sarah's journey to the top of the Irish blogging game was far from traditional. 

Four years ago, the former psychiatric nurse created i come undone as a space to simply share her outfits and style inspiration. 

Since then, her online success has reached heights she never though possible and today she boasts an impressive 39,000 Instagram followers.  

Two years of backpacking gave Sarah a new outlook on life and fashion choices alike. 

With precious few belongings to her name, Sarah learned how to style her clothes around any occasion. 

She recommends people choose quality over quantity when it comes to their wardrobe, after all, ''a cluttered space creates a cluttered mind.''

''I have less clothes than my friends – yet I never have nothing to wear," she explains.

In an effort to put her minimalist outlook to good use, Sarah started the I Come Undone Detox – a wardrobe de-clutter service that encourages people to save time and money by being selective in their fashion choices.

Things have really evolved for Sarah over the past few years. 

After realising she could offer so much more than fashion advice, the blogger decided to use her knowledge of Dublin  to branch out in other directions.

''I took for granted how well I knew Dublin.," she says.

Today, i come undone is packed with tonnes of unique content born of Sarah's first-hand knowledge of her home town's food and social scenes, including things like ten alternative Dublin first date ideas and even a guide to Dublin's top dog-friendly eateries. 

So, what are Sarah's tip for anyone looking to start in the industry?

Get into it for the right reasons, blog about you passion and above all, stay true to yourself.

After all, ''your integrity is everything" she reminds us.

Some solid words of wisdom from our Social Influencer of the Year.

Last month, Clémentine MacNeice's chic and sophisticated fashion sense earned her the title of Style Icon of the Year at the inaugural SHEmazing HP Awards. 

She is one of the most established stylists in the country today, but how did she make it to the top of her game?

 

Happy Head #OOTN

A post shared by Clémentine MacNeice (@clementinemacneice) on

Having originally set out to complete a degree at Trinity College, Clémentine's journey into the industry was somewhat unconventional.

English and Drama was her subject of choice, however, it was the costume design module that really ignited her imagination, and inspired her to pursue a career as a stylist.

Upon making the decision to jump head first into the world of fashion, Clémentine took various style-related roles in an effort to establish herself in the industry she loved so much.

Starting at the bottom, she offered her style skills for free, before eventually making a name for herself as a freelance stylist. 

Today, she is one of Ireland's most sought-after stylists and boasts an impressive list of clients, including TV3's Anna Daly, Karen Koster and Lucy Kennedy, as well as Dancing With the Stars presenter, Amanda Byram.

The stylist achieves her timeless look by combining contemporary and vintage pieces, but what is her number one style tip?

"Invest in key pieces. Don't waste your money on trends and be daring!"

And as for the guys, Clém reckons our very own Conor McGregor has hit the nail on the head when it comes to out-there fashion choices. 

So, with a keen eye for style and a wardrobe most women would kill for, it's no wonder Clémentine MacNeice was crowned our Style Icon of the Year.

On Sunday, our president Michael D. Higgins met Bernie Saudners in the Áras, and it's safe to say our bromance dreams came true.

Of course, we all went wild with the pictures, but it wasn't until last night that America caught on to it.

Bernie tweeted a picture with Mickey D, while also letting his supporters know that both of them have very similar views on a number of important issues.

However, Twitter concentrated more on the resemblance of the pair, going so far as to say they're twins:

And many Americans LOVED that our president's Twitter handle is @PresidentIRL:

We can see the buds of a beautiful friendship.

What better story for a musical than the story of Cher's life?

She's a total goddess so it's no wonder her life story is set to debut on Broadway next year.

The singer tweeted the news last night, saying: "Just got off the phone w/Writer & Director of musical.

"There will be a performance in theatre with actors, dancers, singers. It'll be on Broadway 2018."

According to the New York Post, Cher: The Musical chronicles the star's life beginning with her upbringing in Los Angeles. 

It'll go on to show how she met Sonny Bono in 1962 and went on to become one of the most famous pop duos of the time.

 

A post shared by Cher (@cher) on

With the couple divorcing in 1975, Cher went on to have a phenomenal solo career, which will also be depicted in the musical.

The show had a try-out in January, and after Cher wrote: "I sobbed & laughed, & I was prepared to not like it. Audience clapped after songs, & gave a standing ovation."

The musical will features several of Cher's hits including I Got You Babe, Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves, Take Me Home, Believe and If I Could Turn Back Time.

For the past number of years, you could almost bet on the weather to be warm and sunny during examination time.

While all of the Junior and Leaving Cert students studied in their rooms and panicked in exams halls, we could bask in the sunshine and thank the Looord that we're not back in those grimy halls.

Well, it appears that that's not going to happen this year.

According to Met Éireann, Ireland is going to be quite unsettled this week, with rain and thundery showers in store.

Maximum temperatures will reach 14 to 17 degrees today, but don't get too excited because rain will develop and "will turn heavy in many areas."

Tomorrow, Thursday, is looking mostly cloudy, with "patches of rain and drizzle, turning heavy and persistent along southern coasts and extending northwards into much of Munster and many parts of Leinster by morning."

Friday doesn't look too bad, as it will be dry in many areas "with sunny spells." A few scattered showers will occur, but they won't turn heavy until Friday night.

However, Saturday doesn't look bad at all. It will become "dry in many areas, with some bright or sunny spells developing." There's still a possibility of rain, but we're going to hold out hope.

To be honest, we're kind of surprised Britney has never done a make-up collab before.

She was our spirit animal growing up, and all of us wanted to look like her after she made the film Crossroads.

Well, the co-founder of make-up brand Too Faced has made us very excited with his latest social media post.

Jerrod Blandino took to Instagram to share a picture of what looks like a new eyeshadow prototype with the caption, "I'm a slave for you."

Ring a bell?

Obviously, Britney fans hit the roof, and the rumour mill quickly went into overdrive.

One fan wrote, ""If this is a Britney collab I will love you forever Too Faced," while another said, ""OMG PLEASE BE BRITNEY COLLAB PLEASE."

Too Faced said that they couldn't confirm anything at the moment, but we're hoping a Britney collab is on the way.

French police have shot a man who attacked an officer with a hammer outside the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris.

The man has been identified as being an Algerian student according to the identification he was carrying, and was wounded but not killed in the shooting.

The French Interior Minister said the attacker shouted 'this is for Syria,' before being taken down by police, according to RTÉ.

The man attempted to attack police with a hammer outside the iconic Notre Dame cathedral, and was later found to also be armed with kitchen knives.

Hundreds of people took refuge in the cathedral and nearby cafes, with many of them updating the public via Twitter as to what was going on. 

A counter-terrorism investigation has been launched in the aftermath of the attack. 

The attack came just three days after the tragic London Bridge attack which claimed the lives of seven people.
