If you've ever found yourself losing sleep over the number of people who appear in the photographs you upload to social media, your concerns may be placated with the help of a Japanese company called Family Romance.

In a bid to help those who tend to think quantity over quality when it comes to friends, Family Romance have launched a service called Real Appeal which allows you to 'hire' people to populate your uploads.

So, here's the deal.

Those who feel they're in dire need of a mate or two can choose people from a catalogue – and can even specify certain characteristics, such as gender, age and style – before hiring the individuals for a minimum of two hours at a cost of €42.

According to the folk behind the service, they receive an average of 100 requests per month for their service, and they even offer fake family members and seat fillers for various other occasions like weddings and business seminars.

Something to think about the next time you think your friends are about to bail on you…

It sounds like baby number three could well and truly be on the cards if Kim Kardashian gets her way.

In a promo that aired last night for next week’s episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, the 36-year-old announced to her family that she wanted to try for another child.

Kim has been open about her struggles to conceive with her first two children, and says her doctors have advised her that another pregnancy may not be safe for her.

However, the 16 second promo showed the mum-of-two share her determination to have another child.

“I’m going to try to have one more baby,” Kim told her shocked family.

“I want my kids to have siblings, but the doctors don’t feel like it’s safe for me.”

Kim is already mum to three-year-old North and one-year-old Saint with husband, Kanye West, but admits that she’d like to have more.

However, mum Kris was seen sharing her concerns with Kim in the clip from next week’s episode, saying:

“I don’t want you to do something that would put you in danger.”

Kim has previously spoke about her struggles to conceive after a surgery to fix a condition called placenta accreta.

As well as adjusting her diet, Kim also received acupuncture and visited her doctor daily in her efforts to conceive.

Last month, Kim sparked rumours that she and Kanye were trying for baby number three after she shared a fan’s post about hoping to get pregnant.

Disney fans, take note.

If you have plans on May 20th, cancel them, because the Prince Charles Cinema in London's West End is hosting an all night Disney sleepover.

It's like all our childhood dreams are coming true at once.

The cinema will be showing seven Disney films, Alice in Wonderland, The Jungle Book, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin and The Lion King, along with one very exciting mystery movie on the night. 

This reminds us of our childhood evenings spent swaddled in blankets, eating popcorn and settling in with a good Disney video. *Sigh* 

The movie marathon will run all night, from 8.45pm to 9am the following morning.

So, we think it may be time to book tickets to London pretty soon, right? 

If you can't make it over for this amazing event, simply make a blanket fort and get the laptop out to return to your childhood instantly with your favourite film.

Sunday evening plans sorted.

If we could eat Mc Donalds all day, everyday, we totally would, and one of the tastiest elements of a Mc D's is the savoury sauces.

That's why when we saw that the sauces are being sold on supermarket shelves,we felt that you needed to know this vital fact.

The secret sauces from the iconic Big Mac, the Fillet-O-Fish and the Mc Chicken will all be available in bottle formula. 

The sauces will be available from this spring, but in a devastating turn of events, the sauces are currently only available on the Canadian market.

Despite this upsetting development, we're still seriously appreciating people's Twitter reactions to the news. 

People do love that Big Mac sauce, though. 

Hopefully the yummy sauces make their way to Ireland, ASAP!

Harry Potter fans have often wondered what the delicious sounding Butterbeer beverage from the Hog's Head tasted like.

Or at least, we have anyway.

The Warner Brother studios in London made muggles dreams come true by creating the drink, and now Butterbeer ice cream has appirated into existence.  

Yuengling's ice cream have brought out a Butterbeer flavour of their delightful frozen treat, and we're pretty much drooling. 

"Have you heard the news!? Butterbeer and Strawberry are our new flavors for 2017!" reads a post on the brand's Instagram.

"Indulge on Butterbeer Ice Cream, made from half butter cream ice cream, half butterscotch ice cream with a butterscotch swirl."

It's made up of half buttercream ice cream and half butterscotch ice cream, and sounds completely delish. 

Unfortunately it's currently only available in America, but hopefully their trend will catch on here ASAP. 

If only Professor Trelawney could tell us…
