Elsa Pataky opened up about Liam at the launch of the Women’s Secret Christmas campaign.

She said that Liam has been feeling quite down after the breakup, “My brother-in-law, well…After a relationship that you've dedicated ten years to, he's a little bit down, but he's coping well.”

Elsa stressed that Liam will be okay with time, “He's a strong boy and he deserves the best.”

Commenting on his marriage to Miley, Elsa said, “I think he deserves much better.”

Liam has been spending quite a lot of time in Australia, where his brother Chris Hemsworth and Elsa live with their three children.

Elsa explained that returning home was the best move for Liam to make.

"You always find support in your family, and he's joined at the hip with his brother, who has been there to give all the strength he needed," she shared.

You is set to return to Netflix next month and it looks like Joe is as creepy as ever.

The dark drama returns for its second season on December 26, with Joe now laying low and hiding from his ex in LA.

Can he deal with his past and make a fresh start, this time with the right woman?

In brand new photos, Joe is acting seriously shady as he approaches one woman in the grocery store, sneaks around in a baseball cap and even spends time with a new woman, who may or may not be his next victim.

Netflix even shared a photo of Joe and his ex-girlfriend Candace, but is this scene a flashback or does Joe run into her in LA?

The show is based on the book by Caroline Kepnes, which means that avid readers can discover the future of You. Anyone who is already a fan of the novel will know that season two will be based in Los Angeles.

Showrunner Sarah Gamble also revealed that the audience will learn much more about Joe's past in the next season, including how he became an obsessive stalker and serial killer…

“There's a lot more to explore about Joe from earlier in his life. Those are the things we're starting to get into for season two,” she told The Hollywood Reporter.

Season two of You airs on Netflix on December 26.

To join Frank and Honest on its mission and help them to achieve this goal, it’s very simple… You buy a reusable cup, They plant trees.

This marks the next step in Frank and Honest’s sustainable journey. It was the first national coffee brand to move to 100 percent compostable takeaway coffee cups in 2018. This Christmas, they want to encourage the purchasing of reusable coffee cups.

Not only will customers get 20 cent off their coffee every time they bring their own cup, but now Frank and Honest is also pledging to purchase and plant native trees.

It’s more important than ever that we take care of the environment and making small daily changes is the easiest way to make a positive impact. With this in mind, the purchase of reusable cups encourages the move to our sustainable future and is in line with the brand’s overall mission. Join Frank and Honest and be part of giving the gift of native trees this Christmas.

Fans of Love Island were stunned when Greg and Amber announced their split. The winners of the reality show parted ways earlier this year, with Limerick man Greg facing a heap of backlash after reports emerged that he dumped his former beau by text.

Breakups are never easy and often come with quite a lot of drama, but the drama and attention is even more severe when you’re a celebrity.

The entire nation knows your business and those closest to you are even exposed to the drama.

Greg revealed that his family, including his mum and sister, were sent death threats following his shock split from Amber.

The rugby player opened up about the tough time in an interview with Extra.ie.

He said that he was well able to handle the negative comments, “It was quite tough, but I’m kinda used to the locker room banter with the lads. Any insecurities in the locker room and you’ll be eaten alive.”

However, he was deeply concerned for his mum and sisters who weren’t used to being in the public eye whatsoever.

“It was when they got at my mother and my sisters – that touched a nerve with me. It really got to me so I had to calm them down and make sure they were OK,” he revealed.

We are all so invested in celebrity relationships, but at the end of the day they’re just people.

Attacking Greg’s family for his actions is beyond unnecessary.

Pippa looked beautiful when she arrived at the ParaSnowBall at the Hurlingham Private Members Club in London.

The mum wore a dress by Anna Mason, which will set you back a pretty £990.

The tulle floral and polka dot number is by far one of the nicest outfits Pippa has donned since she made headlines with her stunning made of honour gown at Kate and William’s wedding in 2011.

The ParaSnowBall is an event for people with disabilities who engage in winter sports. Pippa has been attending the ball for years and is deeply passionate about supporting the event.

Speaking about the inspirational event, she said, “I am honoured to be supporting Disability SnowSport UK and as a keen skier myself, I feel very passionately about enabling those with a disability to experience the joy of skiing alongside non-disabled people. The ParaSnowBall sponsored by Delancey was an inspirational celebration of Paralympians," HarpersBazaar reports.

The Middleton sisters have certainly upped their style game this year.

On a day like today, all I want is my Gossip Girl boxsets and a giant pizza. The miserable weather has certainly dampened our moods but one thing that'll perk us right up is trying the world's best pizza.

And you can have it delivered right to your door, thanks to Fallon & Byrne.

While the rest of us debate whether pineapple is or isn’t acceptable on pizza, Fallon & Byrne has been to the home of pizza in Italy, and competed against 500 of the best pizza makers in the world.

Head Pizza Chef Alessandro Capozzi was crowned Best Pizzaiolo in Ireland and placed second in the world at the Campionato Nazionale DOC.

Fallon & Byrne pizzas can be ordered directly from the Deliveroo app and enjoyed from the comfort of home or as an office treat. They are authentic Pizza Napoletana and created using the fresh ingredients of Fallon & Byrne’s famous Food Hall. 

Joe Groves at Deliveroo said: “We all know Fallon & Byrne pizza is delicious, and now it’s officially world class delicious. Truly authentic Italian pizza is an art form that deserves to be eaten, shared and enjoyed by all.

“We’re really proud to be able to deliver world class dishes to the homes and offices of Ireland, all thanks to working with the likes of Fallon & Byrne, who are as passionate about great food delivery as we are,” he added.

The international competition saw over 500 pizza chefs from across Europe, including a strong Irish contingent, the United States, Africa and South America vie for the top prize. The award is a huge coup for Ireland and an acknowledgement of the incredibly high standard of pizza now available in the country.

The competition is recognised by UNESCO in support of Neopolitan-style pizza, as an important expression of food culture and the definitive version of Italy’s most famous dish.

Ahead of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, on November 25, World Vision Ireland has stated that one in three women and girls experience physical or sexual violence in their lifetime, most frequently by an intimate partner. 

According to World Vision Ireland, an international aid charity, almost 750 million women and girls alive today were married before their 18th birthday; while 200 million women and girls have undergone female genital mutilation (FGM).

“Violence against women and girls is one of the most widespread, persistent and devastating human rights violations globally, today.” Niall Mc Loughlin, CEO of World Vision Ireland, said. 

“It remains largely unreported due to the lack of support services, and the silence, stigma and shame surrounding it. Violence against women manifests itself in physical, sexual and psychological forms, including intimate partner violence – battery, psychological abuse, marital rape, and femicide; human trafficking; female genital mutilation (FGM); and child marriage.

"World Vision Ireland is working to raise awareness of these issues in Ireland and abroad. With international support, education and empowering women, we can reduce these figures significantly.”

The Declaration on the Elimination of Violence Against Women issued by the UN General Assembly in 1993, defines violence against women as “any act of gender-based violence that results in, or is likely to result in, physical, sexual or psychological harm or suffering to women, including threats of such acts, coercion or arbitrary deprivation of liberty, whether occurring in public or in private life.”

World Vision Ireland said that gender-based violence can happen to anyone, anywhere, but that some women and girls are particularly vulnerable, including young girls, migrants and refugees, indigenous women and ethnic minorities, or women living through humanitarian crisis.

“Violence against women is a barrier to gender equality, family development, education, child welfare, and human rights.” Niall McLoughlin said. “71% of all human trafficking victims worldwide are women and girls, and 3 out of 4 of these women and girls are sexually exploited. With robust international peace agreements and supporting women in vulnerable communities, we can hope to tackle and correct these issues.”

According to World Vision Ireland, only 52 percent of women married or in a union freely make their own decisions about sexual relations, contraceptive use and health care. 1 in 2 women killed worldwide were killed by their partners or family in 2017, while 1 out of 20 men were killed under similar circumstances.
