Thousands of Irish women marked International Women's Day by taking to the streets in both the strike and march to repeal the 8th amendment.

The Repeal Project has gone from strength to strength since its conception, and supporters of the movement can be identified by their distinguishable black slogan jumper.

Unfortunately, the jumpers have been out of stock for months, despite the demand for them.

Aside from a Repeal pop-up in Nine Crows last December, the jumpers have been notoriously tricky to get ahold of since last summer.

Luckily, for those who still hanker to get their hands on one, the Repeal Project has announced that they will be restocking their online store on April 23. 

The store previously sold the jumpers as well as T-shirts, and even hinted at some snazzy bomber jackets.

The proceeds from the sales go to The Abortion Rights Campaign Ireland, so you can now sartorially support the cause while donating to it financially.

People have been going to great lengths to get their hands on the jumpers, and SHEmazing! even previously exposed a black market of counterfeit jumpers

Mak your calendars if you've been waiting all these months to get your hands on the real deal.

OJ Simpson is currently serving 33 years in a Nevada prison after he was found guilty in 2008 of robbery and kidnapping. 

The former NFL player is eligible for parole in October, and according to TMZ, there is an opportunity for the star to cash in on his infamy. 

After the success of the TV drama, The People vs. OJ Simpson, some producers could be interested in offering OJ a show. 

In 2006, a TV special was shot about the book OJ Simpson wrote, entitled If I Did It, which fictionally explored how he would have committed the double murder of his ex wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman back in 1994, a case in which he was the main suspect. 

"Someone will try to recreate the TV special that was never broadcast for several reasons … years have passed, O.J. has done time for unrelated crimes, and People vs. O.J. Simpson was a big hit," according to the sources approached by TMZ. 

The TV special never aired due to public outcry. 

The former NFL player could be released from prison on parole later this year.

Kylie Cosmetics has had quite a few mishaps in the short time that the company has been in existence.

Makeup mogul Kylie Jenner has come under fire once again for the cosmetic company's latest mistake, which saw Kylie customers receive Kylighters with empty pans. 

 

Some customers have received their Kylie packages, but upon opening their Kylighter palettes, they found that there is no highlighter inside the packaging.

The issue seems to transcend shades, with Banana Split, Cotton Candy and Chocolate Cherry all affected according to customer photos.

This bizarre mishap is the latest in a long list of Kylie Cosmetics beauty blunders, after the teen's Peach Palette was said to have given off a chemical smell which caused headaches, and later fans accused the star of repackaging old lip kits as new "exclusive shades." 

Others have tweeted to complain that when they did receive Kylighters with pans full of product, some of them were smashed.

Others received boxes which had removable stickers for labels, instead of the name of the product being printed on the boxes.

When one customer peeled off the sticker, the name on the box read First Date, one of Kylie's Valentine's Edition blush names.

Whether this customer got a sneak peek at one of Kylie's future releases or if he got an old product box is yet to be seen.

Kylie's customer service team has been reaching out to customers to offer apologies and replacements for the empty pan products.

However, they have not made any comment on the peeling labels.

The search is focused on the Mayo coastline in the Blacksod area. 

Contact was lost with the helicopter at around 1am last night.

The team were out evacuating a crewman in need of medical attention on a UK fishing vessel, according to the Irish Times.

“Conditions are reasonable. It was a moonlit night last night so it wasn’t so bad. It’s daylight now, which makes it easier for them” Tony McNamara, a lifeboat operations manager in Achill told The Journal.

If there's one thing in this world that makes us happy, it's animals.

So, when we came across this article on Buzzfeed about a man who makes hats for his toad, we jumped for joy.

The hats are all made out of foam paper and take no more than 10 minutes to make.

Chris Newsome noticed that every night one particular toad would park itself outside his front door.

His friend's son recently lost his own pet toad, so Chris decided to make the hats, "because all kids would laugh at a toad with a hat."

Newsome told BuzzFeed News he started making the hats to cheer up a friend's son who had lost his own pet toad "because all kids would laugh at a toad with a hat."

Chris said: “He asked me if Mr. Toad was still coming to visit me every night, so to make him feel better I sent him a photo to show that Mr. Toad was alive and well."

He started off the hat trend with a pink top hat featuring a feather and an eye spectacle, and then followed that with more than ten other hats, ranging from baseball caps to cowboy hats.

Newsome started with the pink hat and then topped it off with a feather and a monocle for a dapper look.

"The toad never seemed to mind the hats. I would just place them on its head and it would just sit there," he said.

We can't get enough of this.

Ah, egos…

In the latest episode of Robot Wars, we saw two teams go head to head with a major age difference.

And as Angela Scanlon announced the winning team (the kiddies won), the grown, well-in-his-40s, man decided to walk off the show.

Talk about throwing a strop.

Now, we'll admit is was a very mild strop, but nonetheless, at least be the bigger man and congratulate the kids?

And of course, Twitter had a few things to say about it:

Another day, another ridiculous Trump claim – and this time, it involves microwaves.

The President's senior adviser, Kellyanne Conway, has dealt with her fair share of controversy, but this is probably one of the most ludicrous claims.

During an interview with North Jersey yesterday, Kellyanne suggested that the alleged wire tapping by Obama in Trump's campaign headquarters involved far more than just tapping phones.

“What I can say is there are many ways to surveil each other," said Ms Conway during the interview.

“You can surveil someone through their phones, certainly through their television sets — any number of ways.”

She then continued saying that monitoring can be done with “microwaves that turn into cameras."

She added that "this is a fact of modern life.”

Kellyanne gave absolutely no evidence towards her claims, so for now we're going to sit tight that there was no spying through microwaves.
