Forbidden Fruit may seem like it's YEARS away (the countdown began a very long time ago), but it's not too long until you'll be soaking up the sunlight in the pure STUNNING grounds of the Irish Museum of Modern Art, listening to top-class music.

Just picture the scene; You're taking in the sweet, sweet tunes with a refreshing beverage in hand, surrounded by your friends and some randoms you only just met (happens every year).

Forbidden Fruit is the green light which indicates the beginning of summer, and it's been building up in popularity over the last few years, and for good reason. The festival draws in some of the biggest emerging talents around.

Diplo really doesn't waste any time, does he?

Cardi B is only freshly single after a major split drama with her baby daddy Offset, after their year-long marriage.

The 26-year-old rapper clearly has a long line of suitors vying for her hand, and after posting up a stunning Instagram image of herself, Diplo just had to join in.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by @commentsbycelebs on

The image of herself showed off a gorgeous pink outfit on December 16, and she captioned the shot;  “I’m Dasani with the drip, bab ymommy with the clip."

The mother of adorable five-month-old Kulture has been keeping herself busy since Offset crashed her set at Rolling Loud on December 15, but Diplo hopped on the Cardi train.

The 40-year-old musician commented; "I'm single btw" under the Instagram post, and fans damn well lost their mind.

Cardi B has yet to respond to the cheeky DJ and music producer's comment, we're fairly sure she most likely needs time to herself after the whole Offset drama.

The Migos rapper has been doing everything in his power to win her back, but Cardi is staying strong like the queen we know she is.

In an Instagram live video on Monday night, she did admit that she was “missing the D” though, so who knows if she can resist Offset's charms for long.

We're Team Diplo, his caption and comment game is SO STRONG.

World-renowned footballer Ada Hegerberg had just been crowned the first ever female recipient of the Ballon d'Or award, which essentially is a marker that you are the best player IN THE WORLD btw, when French DJ Martin Solveig put his foot in it.

He created a hugely awkward moment on stage when he asked the gifted player if she could 'twerk', to which she curtly responded with a simple 'No'.

We probably would have responded in a much less classy manner, but that's a testament to how much sexism she has presumably had to deal with as a female footballer.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Gt yapmıcaksan kabul etme (@minnosmagazin) on

The 42-year-old DJ claimed that the Lyon and Norway superstar forward, despite answering "no" – had told him after the ceremony that she "understood it was a joke".

Hegerberg also told BBC Sport she "didn't consider it sexual harassment" after the 23-year-old was recognised as the world's best player in Paris

It was all the more awkward seeing as the footballer's speech was referencing her hopes of inspiring girls to believe in themselves.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Ada Stolsmo Hegerberg (@ahegerberg) on

The reaction on social media was swift and furious, with tennis player Andy Murray commenting on the matter; "Another example of the ridiculous sexism that still exists in sport."

"To everyone who thinks people are overreacting and it was just a joke… it wasn't. I've been involved in sport my whole life and the level of sexism is unreal."

Solveig took to Twitter to express his apologies, but claimed that it was a total misunderstanding.

He also uploaded a video, claiming that anyone who has known him for a while is aware of his respect for women, and that it was taken out of context;

We don't quite know what to think of this one.

Do you think the question was out of line, and that Murray is right in saying that sexism still exists in sport?

Or do you think this all blown way out of proportion?

We were given a SERIOUS blast from the past earlier today when we realised that none other than Shaggy is in town.

Yes, it appears that the Jamaican-American reggae super-star is in Galway – kicking back with his daughter and enjoying pints of Guinness at Moran’s of the Weir in Kilcolgan. 

The It Wasn't Me singer was on stage in Toronto as recently as the weekend, but he seems to have already brushed-off any jet-lag and has settled into the city of the tribes nicely.

Yesterday, the 46-year-old was snuggled up in his hotel suite with his adorable daughter, watching movies and ordering room service. 

It doesn't seem that Shaggy is performing in the locale any time soon, so we're assuming that this trip is strictly pleasure. 

 

Flew into NY this morning in now on a flt.to Ireland…. Need a Guinness! #familyTime

A photo posted by Shaggy Aka Mr Boombastic O.D (@direalshaggy) on

Indeed, upon flying into New York before connecting to Ireland, he marked one Instagram snap with the hashtag #familytime, adding: "Need a Guinness!"

Last year, the musician had another major hit with I Need Your Love. His Out Of Many, One Music album also received a Grammy nomination earlier this year.

Spin 1038 DJ, Daniella Moyles, picked up a new friend to bring to the office today – which we assume isn't a regular occurrence. 

She was on her way to work when she spotted a hobbling injured baby seagull on the side of the road. Nooooo!

She stopped to help the little guy and somehow got him into a cardboard box and into the safety of her car. 

Daniella tried getting in touch with as many vets as she could in the city, but given that it was so early, most of them were all still closed. 

Thankfully, someone listening in to the breakfast show texted the guys with the name of a vet that specialised in birds and would be able to help them.

The well-known Spinis transported the bird out to the veterinary clinic in Raheny in Dublin and Hoppy finally got the help she (or he, we're still not sure) needed.

The little bird has been given painkillers (phew) and it turns out she just has a small fracture but that should be OK soon.

Hurrah! And congratulations to Ms Moyles on her good deed for the day.

Paris Hilton was today en route to Liverpool from London, but rather than opt for a helicopter or chauffeur-driven car, the reality TV star and socialite decided to make the three-hour journey via train.

 

Next stop – Liverpool!

A photo posted by Paris Hilton (@parishilton) on

Sitting comfortably in a Virgin first-class carriage this morning, the 34-year-old happily posted pictures to her Instagram account of her unassuming commute.

Paris, who is worth €90m, would have paid as little as €100 for her ticket.

She is in the UK to promote her new perfume and this afternoon is at a branch of Superdrug in Liverpool to meet and greet fans.

Incredibly this is her 18th fragrance in just 11 years – her very first offering, Paris Hilton for women, was released back in 2004 at the height of her fame and went on to be an international best-seller.

Yesterday, the heiress also treated herself to a stealth London shopping spree: donning a short, dark wig and giant sunglasses she hit Topshop’s flagship store on Oxford Circus.

Wearing comfortable-looking skinny jeans and a €155 Johnson herringbone bow sweater, she picked up a haul of accessories and clothing – all packed into six large carrier-bags.

She’s clearly a big Topshop fan too. “Always find the cutest clothes and accessories there!” she said of the Philip Green-owned store afterwards.

 

Ms Hilton only arrived in London from Los Angeles yesterday – and came with no fewer than eight suitcases for her trip.

After her UK stopover, she travels to Cannes for a DJ gig before moving on to Mexico. Her new single, High Off My Love, is released on Friday.

Irish singer Imelda May put a British DJ firmly in his place during an interview with the BBC.

During the interview, DJ James Watt wanted to know just how many of her band members the Dublin star had…ahem…gotten cosy with.

Talking about the singer’s marriage of 17 years to guitarist Darrel Higham, he said, “Now I know you married one of your band members. Did you, you can tell me Imelda, did you try them all out? First? And then decide which one…”

Feisty Imelda wasn’t having any of it and told the DJ he was lucky he wasn’t sitting next to her as he definitely would have gotten a “dead leg or a sore shin” for his insanely cheeky question!

Good woman Imelda!

Katy Perry and boyfriend Diplo have called it quits – because Katy didn’t want to settle down.

The 35-year-old American DJ – real name Thomas Pentz – apparently called time on their romance when it became clear that they ‘wanted different things’.

Katy is said to have freaked out when her boyfriend told her he wanted to introduce her to his parents.

The 28-year-old Roar singer thought this was way too much, way too soon!

The couple were first linked during the Coachella Valley Music And Arts Festival in early April, before being spotted getting cosy at the Amazing Spider-Man 2 after party in New York.

Katy is still feeling raw following her February split from on-off boyfriend John Mayer, and just wasn’t ready to take it the next stage with Diplo.

Maybe being single for a while is the best thing for this pop star!
