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!

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…

If you fancy purchasing a few, you can check out An Post's website.

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.

Last night, Kendrick Lamar dropped the video for his new single, Humble.

And while the song has many qualities, it was praised all across social media for including natural beauty.

Featured in the video was a woman with no make-up, stretch marks, and her hair was flowing au-natural.

The lyrics include lines such as, "I'm so f*cking sick and tired on the Photoshop/ Show me somethin' natural like afro on Richard Pryor. 

"Show me somethin' natural like ass with some stretch marks/ Still will take you down right on your mama's couch in Polo socks, ayy."

And here are the reactions from Twitter:
