For years now, the redheaded community have sought to have their locks represented on the emoji front, and for years now they've been brutally rebuffed.

While there are surplus emojis we have little use for, our ginger friends have been given little to no recognition on the digital front… until now, that is.

According to emerging reports, a redhead emoji is set for release next year, people.

The Independent reports that Emojipedia have released a list of 67 emojis currently under consideration, and the flame-haired individual is among them.

But before it's considered a sure thing, it's important to note that the proposed emoji needs to make it through the subcommittee's fourth-quarter meeting, but so far, things are looking good for our ginger friends.

Pressure mounted in recent months when Twitter became a veritable haven for anyone who felt personally victimised by the lack of a ginger emoji.

Since the news broke that a ginger emoji may be in the works, Twitter has wasted no time celebrating the potential new addition.

And people are seriously here for it.

What a time to be alive!

Talinda Bennington, widow of the late Chester Bennington, has thanked James Corden and producers for allowing the family to decide whether an episode of Carpool Karaoke featuring the Linkin Park singer will go to air.

The 41-year-old died by suicide at his Los Angeles home on July 20, just days before Linkin Park were due to embark on a North American tour.

The singer was also due to appear in an upcoming episode of Carpool Karaoke: The Series, but James Corden has said that Chester's family should decide whether it is shown or not.

Corden told the Associated Press: “We will approach it in whichever manner his family or the people that were involved in that episode, however they would like it to be handled.

“We will navigate it as delicately as possible and just adhere to whatever wishes they would want because I don’t think there’s any other way we could deal with it. It’s a tragedy.”

Talinda then took to Twitter to thank the talk show host for his comments:

The first episode of Carpool Karaoke: The Series was shown on Apple Music on Wednesday.

North Korea's official news agency has said the country is considering a missile strike on the US Pacific territory of Guam.

The news comes just hours after President Donald Trump threatened the communist state with “fire and fury like the world has never seen,” following suggestions that they had overcome one of the last obstacles to being a fully nuclear armed state.

The state-run news agency, KCNA, said North Korea's military is "examining the operational plan" to strike areas around the US territory of Guam, specifically Andersen Air Force Base – a move designed "to send a serious warning signal to the US."

Guam's governor, Eddie Baza Calvo, released a video address on Wednesday, reassuring citizens that there was no reason to be alarmed.

"I want to reassure the people of Guam that currently there is no threat to our island or the Marianas," he said.

"I also want to remind national media that Guam is American soil and we have 200,000 Americans in Guam and the Marianas. We are not just a military installation."

This message was reiterated by The US Departemnt of Defense who said they have the capabilities to counter any threat.

Speaking to CNN, spokesman, Johnny Michael said: "We always maintain a high state of readiness and have the capabilities to counter any threat, to include those from North Korea."

According to China's official Xinhua News Agency, at least five of the deceased were tourists and at least 28 people are thought to have been seriously injured.

President Xi Jinping called for a rapid response effort to the quake which also destroyed the local power and phone networks.

Medical teams, rescuers and other resources have been sent to the site.

The quake hit a region bordered by the provinces of Sichuan and Gansu, right on the edge of the Tibetan Plateau.

The epicentre was approximately 24 miles from the county of Jiuzhaigou, which has a population of 80,000.

According to reports, the US Geological Survey measured the earthquake at magnitude 6.5 and 5.5 miles deep, while the China Earthquake Networks Centre said it was magnitude 7.0 and 12 miles deep.

We can all admit that we fell in love with mermaids when we first watched Ariel swimming around with Sebastian under the sea.

The Little Mermaid inspired many Halloween and fancy dress costumes, but since then, a mermaid has taken on a new iridescent lease of life.

With every beauty brand creating mermaid makeup brushed and every high street store creating mermaid-style accessories, it's safe to say the mermaid trend is staying put. 

 

A post shared by MuMuNAMIKOMORI (@namikomori) on

With pretty hues of pink and purple, we all go wild for anything with 'mermaid' in front of it now; mermaid lattes, mermaid shimmer, and even mermaid toast.

You'd think we had enough of it by now, right?

Well, not so, because we are currently freaking out about this mermaid cafe in Thailand.

The Mermaid Island Cafe is a dreamy dessert shop in Pathum Thani, and is embellished with mermaid scales on its walls, and even The Little Mermaid characters.

Oh, and they also give you a mermaid tail to wear while dining in the restaurant – casual.

And it's not only the decor that is inspired by the magical sea creatures; the menu is also kitted out with mermaid cupcakes, cheese cakes, waffles, smoothies and coffee.

BRB, getting our mermaid tail on.

Almost 687,000 patients are waiting for treatment from Irish public hospitals, according to RTE.

This is a record high, according to the National Treatment Purchase Fund, who are responsible for the collection, collation and publication of Inpatient and day case waiting lists.

This is an increase of almost 9,500 on last month. 

Galway University Hospital has the longest waiting list in the country. 

The Galway University Hospital outpatient waiting list has 38,501 individuals on it. 

The majority of these have been waiting less than three months for treatment. 

The Mater Hospital, Dublin, Cork University Hospital and Waterford University Hospital also have extremely long waiting lists. 

Most patients are waiting to be seen by a consultant for the first time, and the majority are based in outpatient clinics.

We all love lusting over the hottest designer kicks on Instagram, but oftentimes the price tag makes the covetable shoes oh so unattainable. 

Gucci has been having a major moment, and the high-end brand loves to adorn their famous sneakers with bumblebee embellishments in luxe fabrics. 

Making their own spin on the designer look, Penneys are coming to the rescue and providing us with a similar look for a tiny fraction of the price.

Penneys €18.00

We were having a snoop around Penneys this week, and spotted these amazing Gucci-esque runners.

Decked out in a lush velvet finish, these bad boys are smattered with bumble bee embellishments.

They are even finished with sumptuous ribbons as laces, which make them look ten times their actual price.

For €18.00, you really cannot go wrong, but you better act fast. 

The runners are Limited Edition, so once they're gone, they're gone.

A man has been found guilty of possessing explosives with intent to endanger life or property.

The verdict was made after after Nadeem Muhammad, 43, was found to be carrying a pipe bomb when attempting to board a Ryanair flight to Italy at Manchester airport.

The device was found in his hand luggage.

Mr Muhammad sobbed in the dock at Manchester Crown Court after hearing the verdict on his charges, according to The Guardian. 

Security officers discovered the homemade device on 30 January.

The device was reportedly created using masking tape, batteries, the tube of a marker pen, pins and wires.

The device was smuggled in the zip lining of his suitcase.

Mr Muhammad claimed he had never seen the device before. 

After an initial detainment, he was released and allowed to board another flight to Italy after security officers originally thought that the device was not a viable bomb. 

'It is clear that the consequences, had he been successful, could have been disastrous,' said the Crown Prosecution Service's Sue Hemming.

He will be sentanced on August 23.

An online petition has led to the removal of a sign reading 'Send Me Nudes' from a popular UK store.

Missguided's store in Kent mounted the piece of neon art to the wall which spelled out the phrase. 

This gained the attention of youthworker Rachel Gardner, who created an online petition to have the sign removed, which has since gained almost 9000 signatures. 

'Teenage girls feel under increasing pressure to create and send nude pictures of themselves,' reads the petition description.

'NSPCC report says teenage girls are most adversely affected by the sexting culture.'

'Once online, these nude images can be seen and used by anyone, making girls and vulnerable young women the victims of bullying, revenge porn and exploitation.'

'Many of these nude images can even make their way to child abuse websites. It is illegal in the UK for nude images of under 18's to be created, sent and shared.'

'Send me Nudes' legitimises the culture of sexual coercion that teenage girls and young women experience daily,' continues the petition page.

'In posting 'Send me nudes' in their store, Missguided are promoting a negative and damaging culture. Instead, they should be empowering young women to value their intrinsic value and express their uniqueness through the art of fashion,' according to the page. 

'So we are calling on Missguided to respect girls and take down their sign.'

Bluewater Shopping Centre, where the store is located, commented on one of the petition tweets to say that the sign was being removed today.

Missguided clearly listened to the criticism and responded accordingly.

We're sure that by now, everyone has seen those amazing photos of Rihanna that she uploaded to her Instagram. 

Dressed in a blue wig and bejewelled bikini with a halo of feathers behind her, Riri rocked the sexy look. Casual. 

The Barbados-born queen received thousands of comments from her adoring fans, but one comment in particular got those fans seriously angry. 

 

A post shared by badgalriri (@badgalriri) on

Chris Brown, who assaulted Rihanna back in 2009 while they were in a relationship, decided to comment on the image. 

He commented a single emoji, which has been described as 'oogling eyes.'

Does he actually mind. 

Fans retaliated in a big way, completely slamming the rapper for his comment, which many deemed to be 'disrespectful' considering their history. 

 

A post shared by badgalriri (@badgalriri) on

'@chrisbrownofficial is so desperate. You ruined it, no one knows who you are,' said one.

'@chrisbrownofficial too late. Can't get her back now,' said another. 

The comments section is littered with arguments between Chris Brown fans and Riri fans. 

 

A post shared by POWER 95.3 (@power953) on

Some are even harbouring a hope that this comment means they might get back together.

'Am I the only that still have hopes for them to get back together . I really thought they would be the dopest couples in the game,' said one fan.

We're not so sure about that one…
