Dua Lipa is a complete and utter queen, with her single New Rules topping the Irish charts for weeks, and a pair of sell-out Dublin gigs to her name. 

We love to belt out New Rules in the car, at pre-drinks or just in general wherever the mood takes us, but one person we never imagined enjoying Dua's dulcet tones was POTUS Trump. 

However, YouTube channel Maestro Ziikos has used the power of video editing to give us a taste of exactly what it would be like to be serenaded by Trump singing New Rules.

Ireland was in the throws of Ed fever three months ago, when tickets for the singer's Irish stadium tour went on sale.

The red-haired musician is playing a grand total of seven shows around Ireland, three of which are in Phoenix Park, Dublin.

According to The Irish Independent, members of Fingal County Council have requested an urgent meeting with Dublin City Council.

The residents concerns over the gigs will be raised, and the meeting will focus on potentially moving them to another location in the park, rather than at the Ashtown Gate entrance of the park where they are due to be held. 

Local residents were reportedly not consulted about the concerts.

'If they have it in a more central location, for example the monument or the 15 acres, near the Papal Cross, It will be at least controllable," councillor Howard Mahoney said at a meeting of Fingal County Council.

'It's a bit like Garth Brooks. We're not objecting to the thing taking place, we just feel there is a more suitable location for it.'

'It's a huge inconvenience for residents.'

Halloween is one of the best nights of the year, but sometimes the effort and expense of getting a costume can just be too much. 

One of the great things about transformational makeup is that when your creative look is on point, there's no costume required.

These Instagram Halloween makeup looks are so fierce, you could pluck your costume from your own wardrobe with no one any the wiser.

A number of allegations of sexual harassment, inappropriate behaviour and rape have been made against Hollywood film producer Harvey Weinstein in recent days. 

A number of actresses have joined the victims in speaking out against the producer. 

Lindsay Lohan, who has previously worked with Weinstein, took to social media to defend him. 

 

A post shared by Lindsay Lohan (@lindsaylohan) on

According to E News! the actress uploaded two videos to Instagram, in which she defended the producer.

'I feel very bad for Harvey Weinstein right now, I don't think it's right what's going on,' Lindsay said in the video. 

The video included Harvey's name typed in pink font beside an angel emoji. 

'I think Georgina needs to take a stand and be there for her husband,' she said, referring to Harvey's wife who announced yesterday that she was leaving the producer. 

'He's never harmed me or did anything to me—we've done several movies together,' she continued. 

'I think everyone needs to stop—I think it's wrong. So stand up.'

The videos have since been removed from Instagram.

After a number of cancellations yesterday, Aer Lingus and Ryanair are back on track for today. 

Yesterday, Ryanair and Aer Lingus cancelled a number of French flights due to a strike by French air traffic controllers.

Affected customers were able to change their flights with no charge. 

Today, flights are back up and running on both of the Irish airlines. 

'There are no disruptions expected to the Aer Lingus schedule today,' reads the Aer Lingus website. 

'However, we would always advise our guests to check the status of their flight prior to departing for the airport.'

Ryanair does not have any information relating to today's flights, however, yesterday's advice reads:

'Ryanair advises customers to arrive at least 3 hours before the scheduled departure time of their flight, to ensure they have sufficient time to arrive at the boarding gate at our recommended 30 minutes prior to their scheduled flight departure time.'

The New York Times last week published a list of allegations of sexual harassment and rape against American film producer Harvey Weinstein.

The list included allegations from actress Ashley Judd, as well as a number of other women, including former employees of the producer.

Now, A-listers Angelina Jolie and Gwyneth Paltrow have joined the victims speaking out against him.

 

A post shared by Angelina Jolie (@beautiangie) on

Angelina had a similar experience to many of the women, finding herself alone with Weinstein.

'I had a bad experience with Harvey Weinstein in my youth, and as a result, chose never to work with him again and warn others when they did,' Angeline Jolie told the New York Times.

'This behaviour towards women in any field, any country is unacceptable.'

 

A post shared by Gwyneth Paltrow (@gwynethpaltrow) on

Gwyneth Paltrow also told the NY Times that she had an encounter with the producer after he signed her up to play her breakout role, Emma Woodhouse in Emma. 

'I was a kid, I was signed up, I was petrified,' she said, recalling how she had previously considered the film big wig to be her mentor. 

'I thought he was going to fire me.'

Harvey Weinstein’s wife, Marchesa designer Georgina Chapman, yesterday told People Magazine that she was leaving him. 

'My heart breaks for all the women who have suffered tremendous pain because of these unforgivable actions,' she said. 

'I have chosen to leave my husband. '

Footage of the producer has also emerged in which he admits to groping a model.

The new series of Stranger Things premieres on Netflix on Friday, October 27.

Forget pumpkin spice, butterbeer is the real flavour of the autumn season.

Harry Potter fans will be familiar with the iconic drink which is hugely popular in the world of witchcraft and wizardy, and now, it's finally time for us muggles to get in on the action.

Sugar Shack Donuts, a US based bake shop, have created the ultimate Harry Potter-inspired treat in the form of the butterbeer doughnut – and honestly, we're drooling already.

Complete with a shimmery glaze, sparkling sprinkles and gold stars, these little pieces of heaven are every bit as magical as you'd expect.

Oh, and did we mention every doughnut is topped with its very own golden snitch?

But alas, these beauts are currently only available in Alexandria, Virginia, and Washington, D.C., so unless your willing to zip across the Atlantic on your Nimbus 2000, you'll have to admire them from afar for now.

Or, if you fancy getting creative in the kitchen, you could always try to conjur up your own magical creation. 

We reckon they'd go down a treat at any Halloween party!
