If dating wasn't already hard enough – there's now ANOTHER trend to contend with.

Get ready to add this bad boy to the list as it's pretty ripe amongst daters.

Sneating is the name of the latest dating faux pas, that you need to watch out for.

The term refers to a person going on a date with the sole intention of getting a free meal.

Getting fed for free is their only agenda, and you can be sure after that bill has been paid, you won't be seeing them again – EVER.

The old phrase of dine and dash has caught up with 21st century dating and it's pretty horrendous.

However, there are 'sneaters' that are perfectly unapologetic about their behaviour. 

A serial sneater opened up to the New York Times about the trend.

"I could get used to hanging out with strangers for a decent feed. I’m hardly the first person to think of this – it even has its own dating term, ‘sneating’, which means sneakily chatting someone up solely for the purposes of a free meal – but I’m committed," she told the publication.

She continued: "I started being more strategic about the guys that I matched with on Tinder. Guys who said they were old fashioned or knew how to treat a lady were in."

"They were the ones who were likely to pay on a first date. Guys who said they were modern or into equality were out – they were clearly Dutch daters all the way."

"I started lining up one or two dates a week. Whenever the bill came, I did that lame thing where I offer to pay half but then don’t argue when he says he’ll take care of it," she added.

Right – so that's another excuse for us to stay at home in our pjs and to avoid the whole dating world – thank you, sneaters.

A man has been arrested in connection with the death of a 27-year-old woman in Donegal last night.

Gardaí sealed off the area in Forest Park in the village of Killygordon after being called to the scene.

Local reports on Friday morning stating that a person had been fatally wounded.

Sources then said the victim had died following the incident, with the body remaining at the scene.

Gardaí have since confirmed that a full investigation has been launched into the circumstances surrounding the death of the young woman.

A man in his 20s has been detained in Letterkenny Garda Station.

Three ambulances allegedly arrived at the house in the east of the county in the early hours of this morning, with children and other occupants leaving the house shortly afterwards.

A statement released by the Gardaí at 11:45am has stated;

“Gardaí are investigating the circumstances of the death of a woman in her 20s this morning the 4th of January 2019 at Forest Park, Killygordan, Co. Donegal. The woman was pronounced dead at the scene."

If you require abortion information or help, please be careful about fake websites.

The HSE has issued a warning about a bogus website which is imitating the newly launched MyOptions website. 

The official MyOptions web page is run by the HSE and provides correct information about abortion services available in the Republic of Ireland.

A freephone line was also established by the HSE with trained professional counsellors on the other end.

You can find the helpline phone number through the MyOptions.ie web page.

However, a bogus MyOptions has surfaced online when users search for the free helpline. 

The fake site reads: "Call us now and book a free ultrasound if you are thinking about termination and need to know how far pregnant you are and all you need to know to be fully informed.”  

It includes an Irish mobile number listed under the contact information and an email address.

The site is linked to an anonymous Facebook page, which began sharing anti-abortion videos in May 2018.

A spokesperson for the HSE confirmed that the website isn't linked in anyway to the official MyOptions helpline or website.

“We are aware of a number of websites and ads that are appearing in search results and social media that claim to be providing unplanned pregnancy support services under variations of the myoptions name,” the spokesperson stated. 

The spokesperson added that unreliable agencies mightn't be "upfront" about their motivation behind the information they are providing people.

“Some unreliable agencies may not be upfront about their intentions and may try to influence a person’s decision. The HSE recommends that people should only visit a recognised or HSE-funded unplanned pregnancy counselling agency,” they said.

“If people are looking at information online, look for the HSE logo.”

They added that the correct freephone number for people seeking information about their options is 1800 828 010. 

The HSE has released a number of warning signs that usually means the source you've sought help and information from, is unreliable.

These include extended periods of time between appointments, meeting in public places such as a hotel or car park and a delay in pregnancy test results.

Your results should be provided to you immediately.

If you receive information or leaflets with limited information and it contains negative or frightening language, is another indication.

Lastly it you are shown inappropriate media such as pictures and videos during counselling sessions is a big red flag, as they are used to sway a woman's choice.

Who knew that Kris Jenner was the queen of ad-libbing?

The Kardashian momager is a key cameo in Ariana Grande's iconic noughties-inspired Thank U, Next music video, and the blooper reel has just been gifted to us and all we can say is; God is a Woman.

That woman is Kris.

Blooper reels are undeniably traditional when it comes to 1990s romantic comedies, and Ari has also bequeathed the audience with a WHOLE DELETED SCENE from the Legally Blonde aspect of the video.

thank you next legally blonde GIF by Ariana Grande

The "I'm taking the f*cking dog" scene from the renowned Reese Witherspoon flick features Ari masquerading as Jennifer Coolidge's lawyer while confronting her ex-boyfriend.

Troye Sivan getting smashed into a locker multiple times also features ("she's gonna f*cking slam me, I just know it"), not to mention a GAS moment where Miranda Sings' water breaks while Ari (AKA Regina George) walks past her. 

The funniest part HAS to be Kris Jenner getting a little too into her cameo role as Regina George's mom.

While in the audience recording her beloved 'daughter' performing the song, Jenner whispers to the woman beside her;

“When I was raising Ariana I always told her that if a guy ever f*cks with her, she should just say "thank u, next." I told her … if she ever had sex without a condom, she’d get chlamydia and die.”

Wow, now THAT is called good acting.

As well as Mean Girls and Legally Blonde, the acclaimed video also paid tribute to Bring It On and 13 Going On 30.

It's only the fourth day of 2019 and Scott Disick is already in hot water.

The drama has come in the form of a photo that Scott posted with daughter, Penelope.

The picture of his six-year-old daughter and himself has been branded by some as "racist".

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Scott Disick (@letthelordbewithyou) on

The snap shows the daddy-daughter duo tucking into some Asian cuisine.

However, it was Penelope's pose that fans have taken issue with.

The little girl is seen pulling at her eyelids and people have taken offence to the "inappropriate face".

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Scott Disick (@letthelordbewithyou) on

"What he is teaching his daughter in this photo, is racism," commented one user.

“Wow and this is a prime example of how racism is taught. People aren’t born with it. Ignorance at its finest,” said another.

"The problem that people have is this that they’re eating Asian food and holding chopsticks. Obviously, his daughter is trying to make a fun of Chinese eyes! Look people, tell your kids it’s not funny to be racist," added another.

However, fans were quick to come to his defensive and say that Penelope was making an innocent face, as children always pull faces.

"Kids can’t just make funny faces anymore?? It’s pathetic that everything is now “racist” or “offensive”. This is a CHILD making a funny face. People need to get over themselves and stop making mountains out of mole hills," said a user.

"Hello Asian girl here – if she was pulling them to the side and there was a racist caption or Asian emoji then I would feel offended – but it honestly just looks like she’s trying to pull her face and make it look funny lol she’s so cute," commented another.

"Good grief. Leave it alone. She is a cute little girl making a face for the camera. My grandkids do the same thing," said another.

The obvious choice for making a bth extra special is a bath bomb from Lush – and for a night like Valentine's we would be tempted to reach fo the SexBomb bath bomb.

The Aubergine boasts an uplifting scent, with bergamot, fruity ho wood and saucy litsea cubeba. 

With green, blue and purple bath swirls forming as it dissolves, it's damn pretty to watch. 

As for Peachy, the clue is on the name.  Essential notes of grapefruit, fresh peach juice and davana make for a sweet and citrusy bath scent. 

We#ll see you in the virtual queue picking up these bad boys for ourselves and the gal pals as the ideal Galentines Day gift.

Singer-songwriting sensation Jessie J has announced on Instagram that she is taking a break from social media following the heartbreaking death of her bodyguard.

In the lengthy post, she writes that she would like to focus on being "present" with those whom she loves, citing "some unexpected heavy personal stuff" as the reason for her break. 

"When sadness hits it's important we embrace it, so it doesn't define us. I have to practice on myself what I talk about in stage and in my music too. In a good way."

The Price Tag singer disclosed that her security team member, Dave, passed away very suddenly a few weeks ago. He was part of her team for four years, and the singer described him as "family".

Announcing that the break would be from all social media for a considerable length of time, she finished by writing;

"Want to live in the moment as much as I can and not through my phone. I love you all. Happy new year. The year of living the best life for you!"

She was undeniably close with her bodyguard, Dave. She shared images of him via her Instagram account, describing him as a loving father and a man of immense kindness

She captioned another post;

"I wrote this because I want everyone to remember the man you were. You were a gentle giant with a heart so big everyone felt it. I love you so much. We were supposed to meet for hot chocolate next week. 

"I miss you. I will see you on the other side one day. Rest easy Dave, give your Dad a hug from me"

Broadway is about to get a whole lot more romantic; it's been announced that The Notebook, AKA the most heart-string tugging film/novel of all time, is coming to the stage as a musical.

Singer-songwriter Ingrid Michaelson shared the news on NBC's Today Show yesterday, and revealed that she has been developing the musical for over a year.

The 2004 movie starred Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams, and sparked a real-life love story between the pair as well as love blossoming on-screen.

The original novel was published in 1996 and shot Sparks to fame.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Magasinet Woman (@womandk) on

A producer on the NBC family drama This Is Us is writing the show, Bekah Brunstetter, and it will be a collaboration between her and Nicholas Sparks; the novel's original author.

The writer posted his delight on Twitter, saying that he is "thrilled" to be part of the team who will adapt the story to the stage.

The story follows a young couple in the 1940s who fall hopelessly and passionately in love, but are forced to part ways after turbulence between her family and Gosling's character.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by The Notebook Official (@the_notebook) on

They later reconnect, and the tale flicks between the 20th century and modern day, where the protagonist chronicles how time has impacted their lives in a tragic way.

Despite mediocre initial film reviews, the movie became a smash hit which has remained iconic in the romantic-drama genre.

Gosling and McAdams were relatively unknown at the time of filming, but their chemistry was undeniably. The pair met on set, and dated from 2005 until 2007, and again in 2008 before splitting up for good.

Casting news has yet to be revealed, and no opening date has been announced for the Broadway show.

More recently, movies such as Pretty Woman and Mean Girls have been adapted to the stage.

We can't wait to see the show, it's sure to bring the romance.

“It’s just been bad news after bad news after bad news and I think that fact that I haven’t called him and been like, ‘Hey, wanna come around for a cuddle?’ means that it’s big for me, because ordinarily, when things get difficult, I do need to have somebody around to share those problems.”

The news has recently hit that rapper Kanye West is expecting his fourth child with Kim Kardashian West via surrogate, and now it appears that the 40-year-old has confirmed the news.

When photographers congratulated West on the baby news and wished him well on his future arrival, Kanye responded; "Thanks, bro."

One year on from welcoming their daughter, Chicago West, though this time they are opting to use a different surrogate.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Kim Kardashian West (@kimkardashian) on

Allegedly the famous pair will be having a baby boy, but this may not be the final addition to the Kardashian clan, as Kanye apparently wants SEVEN children.

In an October episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Kim revealed to Larsa Pippen in that her husband was stuck at that number.

However, reality television star spoke to ELLE in 2018 about her torn emotions over baby number four;

"I dunno," she commented. "My home and my heart feel really full right now, in the best way." She then made it absolutely clear that four kids would be more than enough for her, with her lack of time.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Kim Kardashian West (@kimkardashian) on

She added; "Seven kids is crazy. I could never, especially in like the world we live in."

"I've been kinda hesitant about having more kids because it literally keeps me up at night, thinking about how my kids will survive in a crazy world like this," she continued.

The famous couple have two other children; North West and Saint West.

Kim Kardashian was allegedly advised not to have any more natural pregnancies by doctors after two complicated births.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Kim Kardashian West (@kimkardashian) on

Another birth could prove life-threatening for Kim, after she suffered from placenta accreta during her first two baby deliveries.

The 38-year-old said of her surrogate for Chicago: ‘Having a gestational carrier is definitely different, but anyone who says or thinks it’s the easy way out is completely wrong."

"People assume it’s better because you don’t have to deal with the physical changes, pain or complications with delivery, but for me it was so hard to not carry my own child, especially after I carried North and Saint."

Congratulations to the Kardashians on the baby news, we can't wait to hear what name they give their new little boy.
