90s kids, you're in for a treat. 

Iconic LA-based TV series 90210 is returning to our screens with the original cast lined up to reanimate their former roles in a mini-series, but there is a bit of a twist. 

In an interesting script choice, the mini-series will focus on the actors as they prepare for a 90210 revival, in a kind of self-aware 90210-ception.

Jason Priestley, Jennie Garth, Ian Ziering, Gabrielle Carteris, Brian Austin Green, and Tori Spelling will all play themselves rather than take up the reigns as their former characters Brandon Walsh, Kelly Taylor, Steve Sanders, Andrea Zuckerman, David Silver, and Donna Martin. 

However, they will be playing 'heightened' versions of their own personalities, and the story lines they will be acting out will reflect their own lives since leaving the show. 

It sounds like it's going to be a highly scripted reality TV show about a regular TV show, and frankly we're here for it simply for the nostalgia alone.

'What will happen when first loves, old romances, friends and frenemies come back together, as this iconic cast – whom the whole world watched grow up together – attempts to continue from where they left off?' reads an intriguing statement about the show.

'Beverly Hills, 90210 left an indelible impact on pop culture and an entire generation,” explained Michael Thorn, president of entertainment for Fox, to Consequence of Sound. 

'Its powerful legacy is an important part of our network’s DNA – bold stories not told anywhere else and bigger-than-life-characters – and we’re honored to bring back the beloved original cast members for 90210.'

The show originally began almost 30 years ago, in 1990, and ran for 10 seasons.

There's nothing we love more than a good rom-com and The Notebook is just iconic.

From Rachel McAdams and Ryan Goslings fizzing chemistry to the cool 1940s fashion to teh absolute sob-fest of a finale, you can't go wrong with it.

Unless you're Netflix that is.

The streaming service has come under extreme fire on social media after fans were baffled at what appeared to be an alternate ending.

Alternate…ending…of The Notebook?!

No, it cant be: Noah and Allie dance, Allie remembers their epic love story for a millisecond and then forgets and they die peacefully in each others arms we're bawling so hard at this stage.

However, in Netflix' version, after Allie remembers their love, they are seen holding hands before the credits roll.

Obvs fans went mad on social media – and rightfully so. 

One said, ''DO NOT EVEN DARE GIVE US YOUR WEIRD EDITED VERSION OF THE NOTEBOOK. That ending is sacred!''

While another wrote, ''The @netflix in the UK doesn't show the full ending to The Notebook & I'm actually about to riot.''

We hear you.

Netflix was alerted to all the dramz and took to Twitter to reassure viewers that they didn't edit the beloved flick.

They said that an alternate version exists and they played the one that they were given.

They soon updated the situation by writing, ''We've we've uploaded the correct (is it correct? who knows at this point) version so the familiar ending is restored.''

Well thank f*ck for that – now we're off to stock up on tissues and give the classic another watch.

Queen of social media, Chrissy Teigen, has raised a vitally valuable question about the differences of interviewing men and women.

The world has a pop culture fascination with Chrissy and her husband John Legend's relationship; they're both witty, socially aware and created ADORABLE children.

However, there's taking an interest in their family life, because they do share quite a lot with their following, but there's also taking questions way too far.

Chrissy revealed this week that John constantly gets asked, "How do you deal with your wife", and we are not happy. 

She tweeted a thread about the type of questions her husband gets asked in interviews, and it just seems like some MAD double standards to us; 

"I feel like a very common question when interviewing john is basically “how do you deal with your wife” and … I don’t love it." We wouldn't love it either, because she would never get asked how she deals with John.

She elaborated on the question and how she feels about it, and it's relatable as always. 

"It happens a lot. “Does she ask you if certain things are okay to say?” …it’s just very weird to me," she said. 

"No. He doesn’t. I don’t care. and he doesn’t care. End of question." she tweeted, continuing the thread. Shut that sh*t down, Chrissy. Asking how you "deal" with your wife implies that she's difficult to live with, and causes hassle in his career.

Chrissy has her own illustrious career, and yet never gets asked the same question about her husband.

"He usually does the standard “No…she knows what she’s doing…” but it’s not even that. It’s just that I am a different human than him? It is the most common question with him. Please stop."

Rightfully so, Chrissy said John usually shuts the question down fairly easily, but emphasised that she's actually a different person than him with her own life and goals, who isn't just tied to him while he goes out and earns.

She concluded;

"I’m not mad at anyone who has asked this. I get that we are very different. It happens a lot though and I’m just not very into it. You don’t ask me how I deal with watching MSNBC every night or what I do while he’s silent for a week."

Damn straight, Chrissy. They're basically implying that she's mouthy and loud and controls the voice in the household, and how does he COPE with that as a husband?

Teigen isn't afraid of using her social media platform and sharing her opinions on mum-shaming, body-shaming, IVF, postpartum depression and the political situation in America right now.

Translation:

By asking John Legend but not Teigen about his coping mechanisms when it comes to his partner, the basic tone of the question is that it must be a hardship to be married to an outspoken woman, we think.

*Eye roll* The man has an EGOT (An Emmy, several Grammys, an Oscar and a Tony) and THAT'S the most common question he gets asked? How does it feel being married to an opinionated and thoughtful lady?

We can think of far more complex things to ask the hugely successful musician, to be honest, that don't involve the notion of a woman using her voice for empowerment. They're separate humans with separate careers, people.

This one is an absolute curveball, if we're honest. We thought the news that Jordyn Woods is embroiled in a cheating scandal with Khloe's ex and baby daddy Tristan Thompson was bad enough…

Now it's been reported that Jordyn ALSO was hooking up with another one of Khloe's ex-boyfriends ON THE SAME NIGHT as Tristan: James Harden. *Gasp*

Grab the popcorn for this roller-coaster of a ride, it's a wild time.

Kylie Jenner's 21-year-old former BFF is allegedly telling her truth in an interview with Jada Pinkett Smith, airing this Friday, but she also signed a non-disclosure agreement with the Kardashians as an extra on their reality show.

The Red Table Talk will hear Jordyn's side of the story, but The Blast have other tales to tell regarding the night in question. Sources claim that Woods told friends that she “hooked up” with James Harden right after Thompson.

TMZThe Blast, and People all reported that Woods signed an "ironclad NDA" with the famous family to never speak about them, so the interview could get her in a spot of legal trouble, but if this claim about Harden is legit, Khloe will presumably be RAGING.

We have absolutely zero idea what Jordyn was thinking if all of these allegations are true, we're guessing alcohol played a part though. 

The incident with Harden apparently happened on February 18 in LA, after James had come home from an NBA All-Star game. (Khloe must have a thing for basketball players.)

Woods apparently confided in her mates that she'd hooked up with Harden, and that Khloe gave the Woods her "blessing". Khloe dated Harden for eight months back in the day.

Unforch, Khloe didn't actually know about the meeting between Woods and her ex-boyfriend and found out after the news broke of Thompson's alleged affair with Woods.

Woods claims to have contacted Khloé that Monday after leaving Thompson’s home, and claimed she was being a “watchdog” to make sure nothing dodgy happened, and never mentioned James Harden.

Sources state that Khloe was absolutely “devastated” over Woods' betrayal, as Woods is Kylie's best friend and has been almost like a member of the family herself.

Hey Irish Hinchers, drop the Zoflora – we have some good news for you. 

Mrs Hinch is coming to Ireland to promote her new book Hinch Yourself Happy, and if you have always wanted to meet her, here is your chance. 

The expecting mum shot to fame on Instagram thanks to her squeaky clean, beautiful home, as she helps hundreds of thousands of people manage their anxiety via cleaning and tidying.

Mrs Hinch, real name Sophie Hinchliffe, accumulated a whopping 2 million Instagram followers in the space of a year thanks to her humour and positivity, as well as her honest portrayal of her life and her amazing cleaning tips. 

Her new book will be available on April 4th, and will focus on accumulating all of her best cleaning and organising hacks in one place. 

Mrs Hinch is taking Hinch Yourself Happy on tour – and she's making a signing stop in Dublin.

Over on Instagram, Mrs Hinch posted a list of her book signing dates. 

' I can’t believe I can even say the words “my book tour” if I’m honest.. I’m so so nervous but more than nervous, I’m so excited to meet as many of you as poss! And I’m also so excited for all of my Hinchers to meet each other,' she wrote. 

'We’re all in this together.. so it would mean the absolute world to me to see you all together chatting about hinching and zoflora and minkehs and wishing each other all the very best.'

Penguin, the books publisher, is clearly anticipating a big turn out, so they are using a ticket system for the signings. 

Tickets cost the same price as the book, and include a signed copy of the book in the price (you can find the ticket link here). 

However, tickets for almost all of the signings are currently sold out. Mrs Hinch took to her Instagram story this morning to promise fans that she would try to secure more dates for signings due to the high demand. 

'I'm going to speak with Penguin with more tickets and dates,' she wrote. 'I so wish I could meet every single one of you some how.'

The signing will take place on April 13th in Easons on O'Connell Street – hopefully more dates will be added soon.

It's been a long week for the Kardashians, and the drama is showing NO sign of slowing down yet. 

Long story short; Tristan Thompson, 27-year-old Cleveland Cavaliers player, baby daddy to True Thompson and Khloe Kardashian, is safely locked in the dog house. For good reason.

Khloe's ex cheated on her AGAIN, but this time with Kylie Jenner's 21-year-old best friend Jordyn Woods. We can't make this sh*t up.

Of course, this ain't the first time dear old Tristan has cheated; he cheated on his pregnant ex-girlfriend WITH Khloe initially and then cheated on Khloe while she was pregnant. But yeah, he seems swell. 

He's reportedly trying to make amends with the reality star following the absurd scandal, and has thirstily been liking her Instagram posts.

We have no idea on earth as to why Khloe still follows him on the social media site, we'd have blocked him lightning quick.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Khloé (@khloekardashian) on

Yup, Tristan is already trying to worm his way back into Khloe's life. However, Jordyn Woods herself is giving her first interview since the news broke; she's sitting down with Jada Pinkett Smith and the Red Table Talk episode airs this Friday.

We suspect neither Jordyn nor Tristan will come out of it looking like angels… 

People's sources, while discussing Jordyn's upcoming tell-all, said "if Jordyn says anything except 'I’m sorry' or tries to trash Tristan, that’s going to push Khloé back to him and destroy Jordyn."

We can't see Khloe ever being 'pushed back' to Tristan, but it looks like he's been trying his very best to put things right. Good look with that, henny.

"Tristan has been telling Khloé that he feels bad and that they have a kid together and that he disrespected her as the mother of his child," People's insider says. "He’s trying to make amends."

Look at him liking Khloé's photos, the absolute NECK. Some fans suspect the pair have already reconciled, but we suspect her famous fam would intervene if she took him back again…

It has been said that, ''Ed got married a few days before Christmas. It was very quiet – just Ed's oldest school pals, limited family and the priest.''

The report continued, ''There were only 40 people – so no Taylor Swift, record company executives or any royals or pop star pals. He wanted no fuss and he wanted it to be something entirely for them -just a tiny winter wedding. Neither of them were that fussed about making a big deal about it. Cherry just wanted to get it out of the way without any problems or intrusions.''

As a nation, we are total cheese lovers – and it’s a fact too! According to a new survey from Dubliner Lighter, almost 100 percent of us eat cheese on a weekly basis. And in a world of healthy living and eating, it’s not hard to see why –it’s bursting with a host of nutrients including calcium, phosphorus, zinc, vitamin A and vitamin B12. However, one thing over 80 percent of respondents did not know, is that there is 11.2g of protein in 40g of Dubliner Lighter cheese, snatching the top protein snack title from other much-loved and more popular protein fuelled snacks including nuts (8g), avocados (0.8g) and quinoa (1.8g) per 40g.

When commenting, Dr Marianne Walsh, Nutritionist, National Dairy Council, says;

“Irish consumers are becoming increasingly interested in health and nutrition. They understand now more than ever the role that protein plays in contributing to normal muscle and bone health. Ireland is well known for its top quality and sustainable dairy production, with one of the longest grass-growing seasons in the world. Cheese production is a large part of this dairy heritage and a natural, local product, which is high in many important nutrients, including protein.”

As for dieting, 65 percent of the population admitted to dieting from time to time, 80 percent do not eliminate dairy from their diet and only 3 percent eliminate cheese. In fact, recent research carried out by Bord Bia shows that 45 percent of Irish people admitted that they ‘couldn’t live without cheese’, with respondents confirming that cheese is their go-to snack
In an era of healthy living and lifestyles, where following health & fitness gurus on Insta is practically a national past time, Irish people have become increasingly interested in health, nutrition and well-being.
Our lives are still incredibly busy, so finding quick and easy bites that are lunchbox friendly is important and cheese ticks all the boxes – it’s a nutrient dense snack, making you feel fuller for longer; it has a high protein content and 38% of your recommended intake for calcium (40g serving). Irish people are already tapping into the benefits of lighter cheese, especially post workout, as almost 80% do eat, or will now consider eating lighter cheese as a post workout snack. It’s great for cooking too and Dubliner Lighter Cheese have a brilliant selection of recipes from the humble a French toastie to the healthy and tasty Taco Fries, or a crowd-pleasing Phyllo Pizza. And, you will not have to compromise on taste with 64% of those asked, agreeing that lighter cheese tastes just as good as full-fat cheese.

Remember the black skinny scarf trend from 2015? It's a difficult one to forget. 

Celebrities, bloggers and gals on the high street alike went mad for the Kate Moss-inspired look, which involved draping a skinny , black, usually silky scarf around your neck. 

The accessory was huge in the summer of 2015, with Gigi Hadid, Miranda Kerr, Olivia Palermo and Lily-Rose Depp all sporting one in the space of a week.

Now, the black skinny scarf is making a come back, so I hope yours is still buried in the bottom of your jewellery box (or in your tights drawer, where mine has been inexplicably hibernating.)

However, instead of embellishing our necks, it's adding an accent to our hair.

Hair scarves are making a comeback – with the skinny,m simple black scarf being the most chic of them all. 

Pinterest

However, if you're a fan of colour, there is currently a whole host of prints and colours to choose from on the high street. 

Bandanna style prints look divine as simple neck ties with a crisp, top buttons undone white shirt, while a colourful scarf can add interest to the handle of a plain handbag when not being worn in your hair. 

Hair scarves, all €9.95 from Zara

There's no doubt about it; Tyra Banks changed the face of the modelling industry forever. From starting a massively successful TV show on the concept of model-hunting, to fashion lines to movies (Lifesize, anyone?), the woman is iconic.

Her star is set to rise even further, if that's even possible, because apparently she's set to open a 21,000 square foot AMUSEMENT PARK in Los Angeles about models. Seriously…Just picture the level of fierce.

We, for one, were literally obsessed with America's Next Top Model; the show spanned 24 cycles and we watched them all. The television series had a huge number of hooked fans, so her Model-Land theme park should be a success.

The woman is legit the Walt Disney of beauty.

She posted a stunning image to her Instagram, and captioned the snap; "My dream for you will soon be a reality. #ModelLand. A place where everyone can be a model. A place where all beauty is celebrated."

"I can’t wait for you to step into your light. Head over to Model-Land.com to sign up for more information." Oh, sign up we did. The veteran model recently opened ANTM for all genders, more inclusive body types, heights and rid the show's of an eligibility age limit.

According to Model-Land's press release, the amusement park is;

"A first-of-its-kind experiential attraction, Model-land will intersect a fantasy version of the modelling world with state-of-the-art interactive entertainment, creative collaborations, curated retail, dining and special events." 

"The breakthrough new attraction is set to open in late 2019 at Macerich’s Santa Monica Place, the iconic open-air shopping, dining and entertainment destination just blocks from the beach in Santa Monica."

“I created Top Model to expand the definition of beauty based on my own pain of being told ‘no’ that I couldn’t do something because I’m curvy or I’m black. My empathy for women in general increased through the experience," Banks told Booth Moore of WWD.

Tyra continued, expressing her hope for even more expansion;

"And now with Model-land, I’m taking it ten steps forward, giving people the opportunity to engage with the elusive world by opening it up to everyone. Men, women, families, all generations can come and enter this model world for a day, have a fun shopping experience, and an eventful meal. This will be the first of many.”

As a permanent destination, visitors will be able to "step into their light" so just about anyone can be a model. Banks spoke about her Disneyland inspiration, a place she went a lot as a child; 

"There is a storyline I have been working on for a year. Anybody can enter and feel like a model,” she said about the space.

Banks, as the godmother of breaking beauty barriers, is continuing her mission to bring modelling to the masses. She really does bring the industry into the mainstream, and we love her for it.

Last summer, floaty, Prairie-style tops began popping up on our fashion radar thanks to model-of-the-moment Bella Hadid. 

Soon, the cool kid set of Insta began rocking the puff-sleeve look, offsetting the pastoral girliness with chunky boots and chain belts, but as summer came top a close the blouses also faded in popularity in favour of chunky turtle necks and shearling jackets. 

However, the sun has begun to shine again, and milk-maid style tops are re-emerging as a form favourite for the upcoming warmer weeks. 

Missguided milkmaid tie front bardot crop top in black €27.65, Praydanna White Castello Blouse €23.99

While they may have outdoorsy beginnings, the milk maid top is the perfect addition to a summer work wardrobe – a rare item that works just as well in your office as it does in the fields of a music festival. 

The classic look generally involves a ruched bodice, some kind of sweetheart tie at the bust,and voluminous sleeves. 

Missguided Petite square neck peplum blouse with puff sleeve in white €27.65, Glamorous ruched crop top with long sleeves in mini spot €30.42

A longer sleeve and squared off neckline is a tad more business-like for incorporation into a work wardrobe. 

The girlish capped sleeves can be extended and streamlined, allowing the delicate bust detailing hint at the trend, which blends perfectly well with a pair of jeans and a work blazer.

Longer sleeves also work well in our temperamental climate, and add a more Victorian vibe to the look. 

PrettyLittleThing crop top with sweetheart neckline €24.89, Emory Park milkmaid top with gathering €35.95

However, the classic short sleeved, plisse bodice style that is living it's best, cow-milking life on Instagram is the perfect summer top. 

Paired with denim shorts and boots, it's a stunning festival look. Added to black trousers and heels, it's a night out essential. 

As long as we're not expected to participate in agricultural activities, we're buying into the look big time.
