Ray D'Arcy is set to be joined on the couch this weekend by a very interesting guest. 

Ivana Trump, who was previously married to (you guessed it) current POTUS Donald Trump, will be sitting down with Ray to discuss her relationship with the president. 

Outspoken Ivana will also be sharing her exact opinion on First Lady Melania Trump.

 

A post shared by Ivana Trump (@itsivanatrump) on

Ivana previously told Good Morning America that she sees her self as the real First Lady, and that she assumes that Melania's life 'in Washington must be terrible.'

She will also be discussing her daughter Ivanka's role and impact on the Washington regimen. 

Also set to join Ray is reality TV star Millie Mackintosh. 

The Made In Chelsea veteran will sit down with Ray amid rumours of her immanent wedding to long-term beau Hugo Taylor. 

Millie is set to discuss how she went from London it-girl to style icon with a very private personal life. 

Also on the line-up for this Saturday's Ray D'Arcy Show are Wicklow brothers Sean and Conor Price who will be live in studio this week sharing their X Factor experiences, as well as broadcaster Charlie Bird.

If you want to get your hands on a Repeal decoration just in time for Christmas, make your way to the Flea for Choice on December 9 in Dublin's Workmans Club.

Sarah Maria Griffin, who penned the incredible We Face This Land, has enlisted the help of her mother to create the stunning designs in aid of the Abortion Rights Campaign.

Taking to Twitter, the Spare and Found Parts author explained that she and her mother would be selling a limited supply at the Christmas edition of the fundraiser next month.

And if the response is anything to go by, you'll need to act fast if you want to see one adorning your tree this festive season.

The Flea for Choice will kick off at noon and finish up at 5pm, and for more details on the event, make sure you check out their Facebook page.

If our reddened cheeks and numb fingers were anything to go by when we arrived into the office this morning, winter has officially arrived.

And, unsurprisingly, it's not going anywhere fast.

According to the good folk at Met Éireann, it's a weekend for fluffy socks, duvet forts and gallons of alcohol-infused hot chocolate.

Tonight will see the arrival of frost which will become severe as the night progresses, with temperatures dipping as low as -3 degrees.

Friday will be a cold, breezy day, but may be broken up with some bright spells and showers. Some of these showers will, however, carry hail, sleet and snow with a slight risk of a thundery burst too.

Saturday will kick off with a cold, frosty and icy wake-up call and continue throughout the day and into the night, with lows of -2 degrees.

Thankfully, Sunday makes way for some warmer spells, with temperatures reaching 9 degrees as the frost and ice clears.

Ladies, it's a weekend for the couch.

In theory, we love the idea of an office Kris Kindle. In reality, we struggle with the notion.

While we may see our workmates more than we see our own family and friends, that doesn't mean we know them very well.

Considering this, it's always best to play it safe when it comes to choosing presents for the people you work with.

By all means, do a little snooping if you think it will help, but don't tie yourself in knots over it.

Instead; take a look at our top picks when it comes to the office Kris Kindle…

For her…

 

For him….

With just over a week to go until this year's Late Late Toy Show, there's no doubt that the festive season has officially descended in Ireland.

And much and all as think we can wait another eight days for the festive fun and frolics, the truth is, we can't.

It's as simple as that, ladies.

So, it's no surprise that we practically went into meltdown when we got a sneak peek of the show's promo, which is set to hit our screens tonight between EastEnders and Fair City.

This year’s trailer goes for a traditional Christmas feel taking inspiration from the classic children’s story The Nutcracker, and we're all about it.

Take a look here.

Actress Jessica Szohr  played the love-her-or-hate-her character of Vanessa on iconic TV series Gossip Girl. 

Jessica starred alongside Ed Westwick in the show, and the pair were involved in multiple storylines together. 

Their working relationship flourished into romance, and the pair dated for over a year. 

 

A post shared by Jessica Szohr (@jessicaszohr) on

In a recent interview with Cosmopolitan, the actress was asked for her thoughts on the rape allegations her former co-star is currently facing. 

'It's a difficult subject right now for anyone that's involved on either side,' the actress told the mag. 

'I don't even really know how to answer it, if I should, because I don't want anything to get twisted, because I have known Ed for years and know how lovely he is, and don't think he would ever put someone in a position like that.'

 

A post shared by Series&movies (@123movies__) on

She told the mag that she struggles with wondering whether the entire truth is being told. 

'It’s difficult, because you don’t want someone you know to go through that or do that to someone, or knowing them well, knowing that you don’t think they would, and you don't want, for the girls that are coming forward, it’s like, are they stretching the truth?'

'I’m really trying to answer this as open and nicely as I can, because it is touchy, and I obviously for any of these situations, wasn’t there, for either side, so I can’t say it did or didn’t happen,' she continued. 

 

A post shared by Jessica Szohr (@jessicaszohr) on

'But I know him well and I’ve known him for years, and I found it shocking.'

Ed Westwick has denied the accusations made against him by three separate women. 

The situation is still undergoing investigation.

The search mission for the Galway native was postponed at approximately 3am this morning, but resumed shortly after 8am today.

Are they or aren't they? That's the question we're all dying to get an answer to when it comes to the multiple rumoured pregnancies within the Kardashian clan. 

Ruler of the roost Kris Jenner has keep very quiet about the entire pregnancy rumour debacle, despite being questioned about it on multiple occasions.

Now, Kris has taken to Instagram to show off some pyjamas which may hold the key to unlocking the secrets of the Kardashian coven's alleged reproduction. Yes, really. 

 

A post shared by Kris Jenner (@krisjenner) on

'Thank you for a collection for every one of my grandchildren,' she captioned the post. 

So far, so Instagram humble-brag, but if you pay attention to the picture, there are nine pyjama sets in the picture…and Kris only has six grandkids.

Penelope, Reign, Mason, North, Saint and Dream. That would mean that Kris has cosy PJs ready for her impending grandchildren as well.

Kim and Kanye's confirmed incoming arrival makes seven, so could Khloe and Kylie make eight and nine? 

Perhaps the mother of reality TV accidentally let the cat (or the babies) out of the bag with this snap?

However, we're thinking that it wouldn't be like Kris Jenner to make such an astronomical error. 

Realistically, if momager Kris had her way the pregnancy announcements would stay under wraps until a KUWTK special, so we're thinking Kris might just be taunting the world with her latest post.

In September, model Elsie Hewitt filed a lawsuit against actor Ryan Phillippe, claiming he had domestically abused her. 

Elsie alleges that there was an altercation between herself and Phillippe, which left her with chest pain, bruising and abrasions.

She also claims that Phillippe abused drugs, including the use of alcohol, cocaine, ecstasy, psychedelic mushrooms, and steroids.

 

A post shared by elsie (@elsiehewitt) on

Phillippe has consistently denied any of the allegations made against him.

Taking to Twitter, the actor distanced himself from Hewitt, writing:

'To be clear: i have not had a “girlfriend” for over a year now and have barely dated anyone since.' 

 

A post shared by ryan (@ryanphillippe) on

'Any other labels or mis- characterizations, from media or gossips, related to anyone, briefly, connected to my personal life, are false.'  

According to People, Phillippe is counter-suing the model, based on claims that she 'broke into Phillippe’s home in the middle of the night without permission' and 'fabricated a story in an unjustified attempt to extort money' from him to further her career. 

Phillippe 'was raised by women in a household where women’s rights, feminism, and advocacy were very much at the forefront, and he is sickened to have been falsely accused of domestic violence,' according to a statement obtained by People.

In March of last year, five family members lost their lives when their car became submerged in the waters of Lough Swilly in County Donegal.

The car they were travelling in plunged into the water, killing all passengers, but one.

The inquest into the tragedy began yesterday morning.

It was heard that Sean McGrotty, the driver of the car and father to three of the passengers, had a blood alcohol level of 159mg.

This is three times over the legal limit of 50mg.

Pathologist Dr Catriona Dillon said that Mr McGrotty's level may indicate a state of intoxication, she said, according to RTÉ.

However, she stated that she could not judge how this level would have impacted Mr McGrotty as each individual is different.

It was heard that the pier was coated with a thick and slippery coat of algae. 

The inquest will continue this morning, with a verdict and recommendations expected this afternoon.
