Una Foden was announced as a judge for season four of The Voice of Ireland just last week and now the last judge has been announced as Rachel Stevens!

Rachel, who was once part of S Club 7, will join veteran judges, Kian Egan and Bressie and new judge Una on the talent show which airs on RTÉ on the 4th January next year.

Rachel spoke of her delight at the announcement, saying: “I’m a big fan of The Voice so I can’t wait to join the team of coaches on the Voice of Ireland this year. I’m sure it will be great fun, but most of all I’m looking forward to listening to the great vocal talent that Ireland has to offer each week and to securing a team of people who have excited me enough to make me push that button for them. When I turn my chair, it will be for someone really special who gets under my skin and I truly believe has what it takes to make it to the final.”

We wonder which of the ladies Kian will take on, having come face to face with Dolores and Jamelia in past times – we can't wait to see!

If you ever wondered whether or not Sharon Osbourne was a fan of U2, well, she answered your question quite bluntly on Twitter last night!

While some people are falling over themselves to express how in awe they are of U2’s generosity in giving away their new album Songs of Innocence for free on iTunes, Sharon Osbourne does not agree:

Woah – she certainly didn't hold back there! And Sharon isn’t the only one who is less than impressed with the band’s deal with Apple. Irish singer songwriter Paul Brady felt it was the “nail in the coffin” of the music business:

Yikes. Looks like U2 have made quite a few enemies with this move. Though we’re sure they won’t be too worried when they’re splashing the cash. Life is just not fair!

We actually never thought we would say this, but the internet has just gotten cooler!

Remix artist Kutiman took several music videos that had been uploaded to YouTube and put them all together to create this absolute cracker of a tune!

This is incredible when you consider that Kutiman doesn’t know any of the artists – this is true editing skill. 

If you are feeling a little bit worse for wear today, take four minutes to relax with this song – it will make you feel better, we're sure!

Ooh, this guy could annoy some hardcore Mumford and Sons fans – but we think this is pretty hilarious!

Dione Beary uploaded this video of himself to YouTube which sees him playing what he feels is every Mumford and Sons song ever.

Does it sound like this one?

Or…this one?

Hmm, maybe he's onto something!

We still do love us some Mumford though!

Cheryl Fernandez-Versini took a break from smooching her sexy French hubby recently to shoot the video for her latest single – and it looks amazing!

Cheryl shared behind-the-scenes snaps for the track I Don’t Care on her Instagram, showing off some stunning scenes around Spain.

Cheryl, whose new album Only Human is out in November, is making the most of her free time before she returns to her role on The X Factor alongside Simon Cowell, Mel B and Louis Walsh.

Earlier in the week, the singer was seen arriving at Malaga airport with hubby Jean-Bernard for a holiday in the sun.

It’s a tough life but somebody has to do it!

Ed Sheeran has proven once again what an absolute legend he is.

The singer is in Ireland doing lots of promotional work as well as attending his cousin’s wedding in Spiddal.

Despite all of this, Ed still managed to do a secret gig in Dublin last night!

He performed for a small (but very lucky) crowd in Doyle's pub on D'Olier Street as part of the weekly Ruby sessions. 

But that's not all, the Don’t singer also praised our lovely city in an Instagram snap this morning, writing: “Played a secret gig for the Ruby sessions last night in Dublin. Always the best gigs of the year for me.”

Ed will also be making an appearance at the HMV store on Henry St. today at 12pm. 

We think it’s fair to say he loves us.
