Following the release of her hugely successful Fenty Beauty range, Rihanna is now lending her talents to the world of fashion.

In her latest quest for world domination, the star has reportedly signed a deal with TechStyle Fashion Group to launch her own collection of designer undergarments.

The full details of RiRi's new business venture have not yet been revealed, however a source told WWD that the project has been in the pipeline for over a year, and designs sample have already been produced.

The rumoured project is also in keeping with TechStyle's celebrity track record, having previously worked with the likes of Kate Hidson and Demi Lovato.

Rihanna's reps are yet to comment on the reports, and the whole thing is basically still in the speculation stage, but of course that hasn't stopped fans from jumping the gun and offering up their life savings.

Some creative fans have suggested the Rihanna name the line 'Fenty Booty', and honestly, we're on board.

#MeToo – Then and Now, by The Trinity Long Room Hub, Arts and Humanities Research Institute.

On 6 February 1918, the ‘Representation of the People’ Act was enacted in the UK, giving approximately eight million people in England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland the right to vote, including six million women. After decades of campaigning by suffragists, the Act extended the franchise to women over the age of 30 years if they were married to members of the Local Government Register or property owners. It did not give parity with men. Under the same Act, the majority of men aged over 21 were given the right to vote.

On the occasion of International Women’s Day, Trinity are partnering with the Institute of Irish Studies in Liverpool University for a discussion exploring if and how the position of women in society has changed over the century.

It will be part of the Trinity Long Room Hub’s Behind the Headlines discussion series. 

Tickets available here.

The Supreme Court in Limerick has ruled on the Constitutional rights of the unborn.

The landmark judgement stated that the unborn does not have inherent Constitutional rights outside the right to life in the Eight Amendment, overruling the previous of the High Court which stated that babies in the womb could have similar rights to children.

Chief Justice Frank Clarke deliver the judgement in Limerick this morning, saying it was the unanimous view of the court.

This latest development removes a potential stumbling block to the forthcoming Referendum.

It comes after a 10-page document seen by The Irish Times revealed how women seeking abortions will have to wait for a certain amount of time to “elapse” before the medication is administrated.

Orla O’Connor, Director of the National Women’s Council of Ireland, welcomed the ruling:

"The judgement paves the way for a referendum on the Eighth Amendment and will hopefully allow the Government to bring the referendum bill to the Dail this week. From talking to people across the country we know that people are looking for controlled change of our laws on abortion."

"They want to protect women’s health and well-being and ensure that doctors can care for their patients here in Ireland. This is only possible if we remove the Eighth Amendment from our Constitution and allow the Dail to legislate for the provision of abortion care, in line with best medical practice."

The Cabinet are due to hold a special meeting on Thursday to finalise the wording of the Referendum Bill.

Latest reports suggest that the government's draft abortion laws will contain a period of reflection in the first trimester.

A 10-page document seen by The Irish Times revealed how women seeking abortions will have to wait for a certain amount of time to “elapse” before the medication is administrated.

It's understood the draft will commit to legislating for termination in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy.

Two doctors will have to sign off on a termination on the grounds of a risk to a woman’s health (physical or mental) or her life.

In the cases of fatal foetal abnormalities, two medical professionals will be asked to determine whether an abortion can be provided.

The news comes as we await an important ruling from The Supreme Court on the rights of the unborn, the details of which could impact the forthcoming referendum.

It follows a High Court ruling which stated that babies in the womb could have similar rights to children.

The Cabinet are due to hold a special meeting on Thursday to finalise the wording of the Referendum Bill.

Is it us, or does food taste better when it looks like a rainbow? For this grilled cheese sandwich, we are convinced it is true.

Fair enough, it does take a bit more time than a normal (understand plain, boring) grilled cheese, but it is 100% worth it!

Rainbow grilled cheese

For 2 servings

Ingredients

  • 4 thick slices bread or brioche
  • 250g mozzarella
  • 5 food colouring (purple, blue, green, yellow, red)

Method

Divide the cheese into 5 bowls. Add food colouring to each bowl and mix. 

Generously butter 2 pieces of bread. Place one, buttered side down, on a pan over medium heat. Place about a tablespoon of each cheese lengthwise on the bread, in this order: purple, blue, green, yellow, red. Place the other slice on top, buttered side up. 

You can also make the sandwich on a plate or a board and then transfer it onto a hot pan.

When the cheese starts to melt, turn the sandwich in the pan to toast the top side of the bread. Keep in the pan until the cheese in fully melted. 

Place on a plate, cut horizontally and enjoy!

Former Oasis singer Liam Gallagher was interviewed by a load of kids recently, and it is the funniest and most heartwarming interview we've seen in a while. 

Sat in front of a bunch of children, Liam is put through his paces as he's asked about his brother Noel, who he does not get along with (to put it mildly), his favourite Disney film and how he deals with his anger management issues! 

One kid even insisted that he played a song called Oasis, and despite Liam explaining that that is the name of the band, she was having none of it!

"I know the song called Oasis that you played," she asked. 

"Which one is it? was Liam's reply. 

"Oasis.

"Yeah, that was the band. What was the song called? 

"Oasis. 

"Oh right, cool. Is it a good song? 

"Yeah. But you were in it."

The 45-year-old also dished out some, eh, career advice, although we're not sure we'll be sharing it with our own kids! 

"If you wanna be a rock star, look out the window, stare at the clouds and do loud farts."

 And while he did keep it clean for the most part, the singer did manage to sneak in, ahem, an adult joke when asked if he gets sweets after he performs.

"Yeah, sort of…" was his reply. 

Check it out below, and trust us – it'll make you laugh!

If you are a massive fan of Cards Against Humanity, then you are in for an absolute TREAT. 

The rumour mill has been working overtime, and apparently we'll be getting a Disney version of the game soon.

I cannot even imagine how weird that will get, but I'm here for it. 

Disney Cards Against Humanity Soon To Be Released card spread 1

A post on the game's Facebook page, which was very quickly deleted, showed off some of the Disney themed cards – so really, we're just waiting at this stage. 

The graphic cards are basically here to RUIN your childhood, and the magic that goes with it.

Some of the violent card options include ‘Jane and Tarzan’s wild jungle sex adventures’, ‘vaginal burns from Lumiere’ and, perhaps the worst of all, ‘Bambi’s dead mother’.

May she rest in peace. 

The game already has a Harry Potter version, so Disney does seem like a natural 'next-step'.

Just when you think you seen it all, from glitter tits to unicorn lashes…

Ladies, we have discovered a beauty trend that is probably going to be VERY popular for festivals this summer. 

Jewelled eyebrows are starting to appear on social media, and we kind of love them? 

The artists responsible for these bejewelled brows are the glitter geniuses at The Gypsy Shrine (the people behind glitter tits, FYI).

So basically, we don't all want to run around festivals with our tits and bums covered in sparkles, so The Gypsy Shrine came up with a slightly more wearable alternative. 

And so, bejewelled eyebrows were born! 

Jewel Brows Trend

Jenna Meek, who is the creative director of The Gypsy Shrine spoke with the gorgeous folks at Cosmopolitan about her latest creation:

"With The Gypsy Shrine HQ spending our days designing new jewels and covering our bodies head to toe in our products, we thought, where else can we put our jewels? Our brows! With the brow trend on fleek these days, we thought we had to impress and go bold." 

To get the look, the artists position Mix 'N' Match jewels and use eyelash glue to secure them. Simples. 

Will you give this look a go?

Public service announcement:

Cadbury has been forced to shut down chocolate production at it's Birmingham site due to on-going water issues.

The confectionery company confirmed that last week's extreme weather caused a pipe to burst at the factor, and have temporarily closed as a result.

But don't panic just yet, water services are reportedly working around the clock to fix the problem and hope to get the site back up and running as soon as possible.

A representative also assured the public that the supply of chocolate will not immediately be impacted – thank God.

"While we have no water supply to our manufacturing site in Bournville, our supply of chocolate is not immediately impacted as we currently have sufficient stock available to manage through this hopefully short disruption," they said.

In the meantime, it's probably wise to stock up on as many Dairy Milks as you can get your hands on – you know, just to be on the safe side.

Like it or not, the sad reality is that, when it's come to business and boardroom, it's still very much a man's world. 

It's no exaggeration to say that women are statistically less likely to reach the top of the corporate ladder, and while more and more women are making waves in the corporate industry, there remains a distinct lack of representation in top positions. 

In an effort to change the way we shop for goods and services, a female-led research group has created an app that allows consumers to see the number of women in leadership at the world's top brands and businesses.

Founded by journalist Iris Kuo and marketing leader Camille Ricketts, LedBetter Index, Database and Application aims to improve to give the public a closer look at which companies promote gender equality in leadership, allowing women to affect change with their buying power.

After receiving a grant from the International Women's Media Foundation Howard G. Buffet Fund, the app was formally launched in June 2016.

Exposing the gender ratio at the top 230 companies worldwide, LedBetter gives each business a score out of 100.

With an average female representation of just 20.9 per cent, the index highlights the need for greater equality on corporate boards across the globe.

Just nine companies managed to break the 40 per cent mark – a figure Iris describes as “disappointing”

Speaking to The Huffington Post, she said: “We were heartened to see there are companies out there that are close to approaching gender equality. It’s disappointing there aren’t more.”

While we still have a long way to go, LedBetter enables consumers to promote change and pave the way for the growth of women in business.
