Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively are one of our favourite Hollywood couples. She won us over as the ever so stylish Serena van der Woodsen in Gossip Girl, and Ryan never fails to make us laugh with his sarcastic and witty tweets.

They may be loved by many, but like any Hollywood couple, the pair has been hit with dozens of rumours since they started dating.

Recent reports claimed that the actors haven’t been spending much quality time together due to their hectic schedules. Deadpool 2 will be released in the coming weeks and Blake has landed the lead female role in the film adaptation of the Mark Burnell novel The Rhythm Section, so the duo are certainly busy, however, The Proposal star couldn’t help but comment on rumours about their marriage.

Taking to Twitter, Ryan responded to an article that said, “Deadpool, Ryan Reynolds, and wife Blake Lively struggling to spend 'quality time'.

The 41-year-old  replied, “I wish. I could use a little “me time”.”

The Green Lantern star’s sense of humour is second to none. We couldn’t think of a better way to respond to those rumours.

In the past, Blake has opened up about their relationship, admitting that they try not to work at the same time.

The Age of Adaline star told People, "My husband and I don’t work at the same time, so we all go together as a family. If we’re away as a family, it’s never more than for a day. We stay together.”

Is is just us, or has the process of looking after our skin gone a little OTT over the past few years? 

Gone are the days when an auld bar of soap and basin of warm water was enough to keep the blackheads at bay – now it's all about vampire facials and Korean sheet masks. 

Now, don't get us wrong – we love a goof sheet mask as much as the next girl, but there are some skin-care trends that we struggle to get on board with. 

Namely, butter-masking. And no, 'butter' isn't a cute name for Lush's new face mask. We talking 100 per cent dairy, spread-on-your-toast butter. 

This rather peculiar process involves smearing the ingredient all over you face and body, in what we can only imagine would be pretty slippy circumstances. 

However, as odd as it may seem, it looks as though butter-masking actually holds an huge amount of benefits. 

The high fat content works to moisturise dry skin, while the abundance of B12 and vitamin D give your skin a super goddess-like glow. 

Explaining the process, dermatologist Jacques Lurpacques told Metro.co.uk: 

"Simply take a stick of butter and apply it to your face using the stick as a crayon, painting it on, or rubbing in the butter with your hands."

But what about taking it off? Not a problem. 

"Don’t worry about removing the butter – it’ll sink into your skin in 15 minutes or so and the lingering product will give your skin a healthy sheen."

What's more, Jacques even recommend using butter as a natural highlighter – though we're not sure we'd want our faces smelling like a block of Kerry Gold all day. 

"I actually recommend my clients use butter as a skin-friendly highlighter. A stick of butter is much easier to use as there’s no need for brushes, so your makeup bag won’t have clutter."

So, will you be trying this?

A masterpiece of rom-com cinema, Legally Blonde is a modern classic, and i'm prepared to fight anyone who says otherwise. 

Back in 2001, Elle Woods captured our hearts by teaching us to follow our dreams wherever they make take us, and exactly how to grab the attention of our object of affection (the bend and snap is foolproof). 

After being dumped by her boyfriend for being too 'blonde', a determined Elle decides to prove him wrong by hitting the books and applying for Harvard Law School. 

What follows is a truly magical journey of one woman's self-discovery, proving that anything is possible if you your mind to it.

The final scenes provided us with one of the most iconic graduation speeches of all time, however it seems the feel-good ending was actually somewhat of an after-thought. 

According to reports, Karen McCullah, the film's co-writer, revealed that the cult movie almost went with a completely different ending. 

"Originally it ended at the courthouse right after the trial," she told Entertainment Weekly.

"Everyone was congratulating Elle, and Emmett came up and gave her a big kiss.

"Then there was a tag where it was a year in the future and she and Vivian, who was now blonde, had started the Blonde Legal Defense Fund and they were in the quad handing out pamphlets."

She goes on to explain how the test-screen audience were less than impressed with the lacklustre ending, prompting creators to add what is now considered to be one of the film's best scenes. 

"The test-screening audience didn't feel like it was an exciting enough ending for her, success-wise. The kiss made it seem like it was a rom-com," McCullah said.

The film's other writer Kirsten 'Kiwi' Smith added: "They knew that this was not a movie about a girl getting a guy."

So, as the story goes, the crew and cast had to rush-shoot a new ending in London, and Reese Witherspoon even had to wear a wig after she had already chopped all her hair off for an upcoming role. 

It was a bit chaotic, but oh boy are we glad they did it.

If you're anything like us, Easter morning is often spent lounging around the sitting room surrounded by piles of torn wrapping paper and empty Easter egg packaging. 

The chocolate just keeps on coming and before you know it you've milled into half an chocolate orange, the ears of an unsuspecting Lindt bunny, and more creme eggs than you can even count – and it's not even lunchtime.

But hey, it's only one day a year, so you may as well enjoy it!

And to help ease the guilt, we've compiled a helpful list of all the reasons why a chocolate-based breakfast is actually good for you.

1. Chocolate makes you happy

A natural mood-enhancer, Chocolate is known to release a number of 'happy' hormones into the brain. 

It also contains a compound called phenylethylamine, otherwise known as the 'love drug', which arouses feelings similar to those that occur when one is in love.

Honestly, who needs a boyfriend when you've got a selection box and a chocolate Santa? 

2. It can help relieve stress

Studies have shown that eating dark chocolate everyday can reduce stress hormones in as little as two weeks. 

Chocolate everyday and not a care in the world? Don't mind if we do. 

3. You'll eat less throughout the day

Believe it or not, chocolate consumption may actually reduce your appetite, meaning you'll be less inclined to overeat throughout the day.

And given that all portion control generally goes out the window on Easter weekend, a chocolate-based breakfast might be just want to prevent a turkey induced coma later on in the evening. 

4. It can help with PMS

Dark chocolate acts as the perfect remedy for many PMS symptoms such as bloating, fatigue and irritability. 

It's antioxidants also also trigger the walls of your blood vessels to relax, lowering blood pressure and improving circulation.

Sounds good to us! 

5. It helps to wake you up

The caffeine content of chocolate can vary with the types of beans, however all chocolate will produce a slight stimulatory effect. 

It's nothing compared to the pick-me-up feeling you'd get from a cup of coffee, but we're willing to bet that if you ate enough of it you'd be alert all day. 

6. It's good for your skin

One of the less known benefits of chocolate is that if can actually do wonderful things for you skin. 

It can help you maintain a healthy glow by modulating healthy blood flow, while high flavanol cocoa powder has been shown to provide effective defence against sunburn.

Today, thousands of marchers took to the streets of Dublin in solidarity with victims of rape and sexual assault in the We Stand With Her rally. 

Holding banners proclaiming 'I Belive Her' and chanting 'sue me Paddy,' the march served as a reminder that while the Belfast rape trial may now be closed, with not guilty verdicts handed out, the discussion about sexual violence, rape and consent is just beginning. 

The SHEmazing team was at the March, you can check out our live coverage and pictures over on Instagram – @shemazing.ie.

Working in an a big office can have it's ups and downs – from temperature disagreements to running out of coffee, the struggle can sometimes be real. 

Luckily, we're not accustomed to much drama in the office – which is why this viral Twitter threat had us enraptured. 

Uploaded by Zak Toscani, who acts as the narrator for the story, he details how his co-worker's lunch was stolen by someone, and how it all went down.

While a stolen lunch isn't a huge drama in the grand scheme of things, this well-executed story had us on the edge of our seats until the end:

The weather has been far from cute lately, and sadly the Ester weekend may be no different.

While today will be mostly dry with a few sunny spells, there will be some scattered showers, particularly in the east. Temperatures will remain around 7 to 10 degrees Celsius.

Be especially safe Sunday night, as heavy rain is expected in the southern counties, and will travel northward overnight and into Monday.

A status yellow weather warning is in place from 6pm Sunday April 1 to 6pm Monday April 2.

Frost, hail, and thunder risks are all possibilities over the Easter weekend.

Hailstones especially can make driving quite hazardous due to their unpredictable and localised nature.

If you find yourself in a downpour of hailstones, you are advised to reduce your speed without braking and to increase your braking distance.

As well, you should use your headlights (don’t forget, your daytime running lights only give light to the front of your car) and, if need be, warn other drivers with hazard warning lights.

Drivers are also recommended to switch off cruise control when driving in treacherous conditions and avoid sudden steering movements or braking suddenly.

Stay safe out there gals.

Kendall Jenner has been keeping us all in suspense with a sneak peek of a pretty interesting Instagram page.

The mysterious Instagram account was hyped on Kendall's Insta story, leading fans to question exactly what it represented.

The page, called @PIZZABOYS, only has three posts. 

 

A post shared by PIZZABOYS (@pizzaboys) on

Two of which are simple text posts reading 'Coming Soon,' while the third shows Kyle and Kendall dolled up and standing in a pool. 

Nothing too unusual there except in the snap, they're both holding pizzas submerged under the water.

The bio of the page reads 'in crust we trust,' with fans speculating that the pair are staring a pizza company. 

 

A post shared by PIZZABOYS (@pizzaboys) on

However, that doesn't seem super on-brand for the Kardashains, who usually keep their business endeavours in the realm of fashion and beauty. 

Like some of Kendall and Kylie's past business ventures, Kendall has been accused of allegedly ripping off the Pizza Boys concept from an already existing artistic collective called @pizzaboyzzz.

The comments section of the three posts on the page Kendall promoted is flooded with criticism of the page, comparing it to the work of Pizza Boyzzz.

 

A post shared by PIZZABOYZZZ™ (@pizzaboyzzz) on

'This is such trash. @pizzaboyzzz have been delivering good original art and ideas so you are going to try and bite off that? Come on. You know you are just ripping them off. So sad. The #pizzaboyzzz hustle and work hard and you guys roll up and try to swipe their thunder?' reads one comment.

'Didn't you guys learn your lesson with the Biggie/Tupac thing? You can't just keep stealing and not get called out,' claims another commentator. 

As the product or concept for Pizza Boys has yet to be revealed, we'll have to wait and see what the page is actually all about.

When it comes to the issue of the 8th Amendment, religious organisations are seen to be associated with voting to maintain the constitutional statute which prevents access to safe abortion in Ireland. 

However, Bishop of Cashel, Ferns and Ossory Michael Burrows has now publicly pledged his support for the Repeal movement. 

The Church of Ireland Bishop  has said that he will be voting to remove the 'flawed' constitutional amendment.

Speaking to The Irish Times, the Bishop said: 'I will be voting for Repeal because I believe, as I did in 1983, that the text of the Eighth is incorrigibly flawed.'

'While I may be anxious about what may happen next, I believe sufficiently in parliamentary democracy to hand the matter to legislators and indeed to trust them.

That is their duty and their vocation.'

This week, the public received the official date for the referendum, which will be held on May 25.

Those who wish to vote are encouraged to check the register as soon as possible to make sure they're on it.

Iarnród Éireann has announced that major works will be taking place over this weekend, which will affect all Heuston routes, Northside DART, Drogheda, and Belfast services.

Heuston routes will be affected through Monday, as a new underbridge is being installed at Sallins.

Bus substitutions are being used for some services.

Be sure to check Irish Rail's website to see how your route is impacted.

No DARTs will be running between Howth, Malahide and Dublin Connolly today and Sunday so that tracks can be upgraded.

Services will operate between Connolly to Bray/Greystones for people relying on that route.

Regarding Belfast (Enterprise) systems, trains will only be running between Belfast and Drogheda today and Sunday.

Bus transfers will be used between Dublin Connolly and Drogheda.

Not ideal for the Easter weekend, we have to say.

Trigger Warning: This article contains descriptions of rape and sexual assault. 

Almost six months ago, an investigation was opened into Ed Westwick, after three women made rape and sexual assault allegations against the actor. 

Now, a fourth women has come forward alleging that she was also the victim of rape at Westwick's hands. 

According to Us Weekly, Haley Freedman, issued a police report on Wednesday.

'I can confirm Haley filed a police report on Wednesday, regarding allegations that Ed Westwick raped her,' said a statement from Freedman's lawyers to Us Weekly. 

'She will be meeting with the district attorney next week'

An inside source also told the publication the stylist was ‘prepared with evidence including personal medication information from her doctors to back up her claims against Ed Westwick.’

Westwick has strenuously denied the previous allegations which have been levelled against him.

He has not publicly responded to Freedman's allegation.

 

A post shared by Ed Westwick (@edwestwick) on

Actress Kristina Cohen was the first to accuse the Gossip Girl actor of rape. 

In a graphic Facebook post, she detailed how she was 'paralysed' by fear during the alleged assault. 

'I was paralysed, terrified. I couldn’t speak, I could no longer move.'

'He held me down and raped me,' she claimed. 

The investigation into these allegations is ongoing.
