So, when Beyoncé broke the internet three weeks ago with her pregnancy announcement, we expected there to be a few copycats emerging from the Beyhive.

There was even a pregnant chihuahua who posed for her own Beyoncé-themed photo shoot, and now beauty bloggers are also being inspired by Bey's blossoming bump photo. 

 

A post shared by Beyoncé (@beyonce) on

Taking to Instagram, uber-popular makeup artist Jezmina Daniel shared a snap of some very exciting lip art with her 1.1 million followers.

The lip art guru painstakingly painted the image of Bey's pregnancy picture onto her lips, and it looks bomb AF.

We can barely draw a stick man on paper, never mind a full photo shoot on our lips.

 Jezmina even included Bey's green veil and flower garland. 

The beauty blogger is famous for her lip art looks, and each one is an absolute masterpiece.

Danielle Bregoli, the infamous online sensation behind the "cash me ousside, howboudah" catchphrase, has had unprecedented fame in the wake of her two Dr Phil episodes.

Danielle, who appeared on the talk show to discuss her bad behaviour, became an internet star after saying she would fight audience members on the show. 

Now, it is rumoured that the "outspoken" 13-year-old is getting her own reality TV show.

The "cash me ousside" girl is heading to Hollywood on Wednesday to meet with reality show producers, according to TMZ

The teenager's managers reportedly told TMZ that the 13-year-old has been contacted by four production companies who are interested in doing a reality show with Danielle and her mother.

The teen has been quick to capitalise on her fame since her Dr Phil stint, doing radio interviews and constantly updating her ever-growing Instagram.

The teen's unprecedented popularity is going from strength to strength, and the girl now has more followers on Insta than President of the United States Donald Trump. 

How bou'dah.

Eatyard has definitely brought some extra life onto South Richmond Street, as the uber-cool food stall collective has attracted tons of foodie fanatics.

The mini food festival will be back up and running this Thursday from 12 noon, and it has announced some intriguing new additions.

First and foremost, there is an amazing waffle stall setting up shop called Bubble Waffle, and their cone-shaped confectionery treats are what dreams are made of. 

The treats take their inspiration from the street food of Hong Kong, and describe themselves as creating "a bubble waffle, filled with ice cream, fruit, sprinkles, and any topping you can dream of, all so it looks like a cone." *drools*

Next up, we have Umi Falafel, who are uprooting themselves from their location on Dame Street to make a cameo at Eatyard.

Kerala Kitchen, an Indian street food experience, and Pow Boa, a Taiwanese steamed bun stall, are also opening their doors.

The newcomers will sit alongside veteran stalls like Veginity, Pitt Bros and Box Burger to create a diverse mix of sights, scents and, most importantly, tastes.

Eatyard have also added a new stage to the market, and it will host weekly gigs, talks, demos and workshops, which will be held alongside the food vendors.

The foodie fest will run from Thursday to Saturday each week, from 12 noon. We're whipping out our eating pants.

If you awoke to news that your monthly salary had not yet landed in your bank account, you're not alone.

According to emerging reports, Bank of Ireland have been fielding queries from irate customers who are awaiting the lodgement of wages and other payments this morning.

Acknowledging the outcry, Bank of Ireland have responded to customer complaints, advising the public that the complaints are 'being investigated as a priority'.

Attempting to assuage irate members of the public, the bank has advised customers that 'payments can process throughout the day'.

And, unsurprisingly, Twitter is having none of it.

"Here, I try a look simply called 'Pants,' as Cassius goes for 'That Dude from #incubus' and Jemima experiments with 'Off to Therapy!' Congratulations @dominokirke. We love you."

We wish the couple all the best in the future.

Serena Williams is one of the world's greatest athletes, so you'd never think you'd find her in a random tennis park.

But, these lads did… or rather, Serena found the lads!

Serena was on a walk with her fiancée, Alex Ohanian, and her dog Chip, when she came across two guys playing a match.

So, like all champs, she went up to them and asked if she could play the winner.

And of course, like all of our favourite celebs, she documented the whole thing on Snapchat.

The lads, were surprisingly grand with this, exclaiming "YES PLEASE!" to her idea, before it actually hit them that they're going to play tennis with Serena Williams, because then their reactions swiftly turned to, "OMG what the HELL!"

We think we might love her even more now.
