A poor stranded dolphin was rescued by gardaí yesterday morning on a beach in Tralee, County Kerry.
A dolphin became stuck on Cockelshell beach on the outskirts of Tralee just before 9am yesterday, and a member of the public raised the alarm.
The struggling animal was discovered, and two gardaí attended the scene to keep the distressed mammal safe. Assistance from the local fire serves then arrived.
Dolphin beached in Co. Kerry
The bottle-nosed swimmer was released back into the ocean after finding it's way into trouble on the beach.
A source told the Irish Mirror: "The dolphin had stranded on the beach at low tide and was spotted by a person walking in the area.
"There was no one else to call so the guards were phoned and they came out and set about saving the life of the animal," they continued.
The famous Fungi is known for roaming the Tralee area, but the local celebrity isn't believed to be the mammal that was beached yesterday.
"Gardaí in Tralee attended the scene of an incident on Cockelshell Road, Tralee at approximately 8.15am today Thursday 25th July 2019 where a dolphin was discovered beached.
"Local Fire Services were called and they assisted Gardaí in returning the dolphin to the water."
The dust has barely settled on the whole Jordyn Woods versus Khloe Kardashian feud, which was spurred on by Khloe's ex and baby daddy Tristan Thompson's infidelity.
Woods has now been spotted partying with yet another one of the reality TV star's exes, only weeks after the Kardashian Klan excommunicated her from their lives after she shared a kiss with Tristan.
The 21-year-old model has clearly moved on from the incident and has now been spotted with another ex of Khloe's; James Harden.
NBA star James and Khloe dated in 2015 after she separated from her ex-husband, Lamar Odom.
Their short-lives romance ended after James got frustrated by the constant onslaught of paparazzi chasing them.
"I didn't like all the attention. I feel like it was for no reason," he told Sports Illustrated of the "worst year" of his life.
"I wasn't getting anything out of it except my name out there and my face out there, and I don't need that – it wasn't uncomfortable, but it wasn't me."
He added: "I don't need pictures of myself when I'm driving my car. Who cares? What shoes am I wearing? Who cares? Where am I eating? Who cares?
"It was unnecessary stuff that I think trickled down to my teammates. I had to eliminate that."
Jordyn was pushed into hitting back at the Kardashians after Khloe was accused of fat-shaming the 21-year-old.
In a recent episode of Keeping up With The Kardashians, an intoxicated Khloe made negative comments about Jordyn's figure on the phone to Tristan's friend Oguz Savas.
Malika Haqq (her bestie) and Khloe were sitting with a glass of vino in front of them when she FaceTimed Tristan's friend.
Savas insisted Tristan "didn't kiss anyone " and doesn't "remember anything" from the night in question, but Khloe screams "liar!" at him.
"Tristan, f**k you if you can hear me," Khloe shouted as Malika tried to hold her back. "They both admitted it to me. Both of them. Fat f**king a**holes!"
Jordyn didn't seem to care about the whole debacle, and we're definitely feeling her vibe a lot more than Khloe's.
We thought we'd heard it all after the whole 'don't put ice lollies up your vagina' warning yesterday, but this takes the cake.
According to The Sun, a Spanish lake in Galicia is gaining notoriety for social media influencers thanks to it's gorgeous turqoise waters and stunning aesthetic.
There's only one, minor downside. The crystal clear water of Monte Neme is actually a toxic waste dump, created by the Tungsten mine which was utilised during World War II.
According to reports, the mine was abandoned in the 1980s and the 'lake' is a large hole full of dangerously contaminated water. Lush.
A Spanish publication named Publico claimed that one person started getting sick after taking a dip in the luscious green water, and broke out in a rash that lasted for two weeks.
What did he have to say about his experience? "The photo was worth it." Wow, no wonder the earth is slowly dying.
Another Instagrammer told them that she "didn't see the warning signs" and went swimming because "the water looked very pretty."
Unfortunately for her, she later suffered from a two-week long skin irritation and vomiting bug. Do it for the 'gram, they said. It'll be worth it, they said.
Doctors have since spoken out about the health concerns which the lake can create.
Manuel Ferreiro, a doctor at University Hospital of Coruña, told The Local:
"Brief exposure will most likely cause eye and skin irritation but a longer time in the water and digestion of the toxins could cause stomach problems, vomiting and diarrhoea."
Personally, we'd avoid these waters at all costs but you can bet certain influencers will still make the journey to the lake.
We don't know about you, but we're mighty confused right now about Lili Reinhart and Cole Sprouse.
Rumours rocked the entertainment world this week, with E! Newsand Harper's Bazaar among others reporting that the Riverdale pair had split up after two years of dating.
The former couple are now trolling us all after showing a united front, proving that they remain close friends. They both took to Instagram to debut a stunning vampire photoshoot, taken just before they broke up;
The interview explains their relationship in their own words, with Lili hinting that #Bughead's relationship on the TV show may also be coming to an end.
Shutting down rumours that they couldn’t be near each other, both of them mocked the ‘inside sources’ criticising their relationship, claiming that they were avoiding each other at Comic Con.
Lili captioned the photo: "BREAKING: A reliable source has confirmed that none of you know s**t." Drag us, Lili. We deserve it.
Meanwhile, Cole chose to go down a darker route and joked: "UNPRECEDENTED: Cole Sprouse and Lili Reinhart consume the flesh of ‘reliable sources’ to fuel their bacchanalian sex cult.’" Plot twist?
The interview took place just before they called time on their relationship, confirming that they'd parted ways in the months following the chat.
Emphasising the fact that they were on unstable ground, the duo had their interviews conducted separately but insisted they were on good terms.
Don’t believe everything you read on the internet, kids. And news sources should try a little harder to be less vile. “Reliable sources” can kiss my ass.
Lili told W Magazine: "At first, I didn’t want things private. "Now that I’m X amount of years in, I do appreciate the privacy we have, that Cole's encouraged me to take.
"No one knows how long we’ve been together, and no one will until we’re ready to say it. No one knows how we fell in love, except for our close friends and us," she added.
"It’s really special." Lili was catapulted into fame after getting the role of Betty Cooper on Riverdale.
Amber Gill's long-time BFF Mart Tweedy is backing her and Greg O'Shea to win Love Island.
Mart said he's over the moon to witness Amber looking so relaxed and happy with the 24-year-old rugby player from Limerick, who came into the villa just when her drama with Michael Griffiths was coming to an end.
“He’s Irish with muscles, what’s not to like?” he told OK! magazine. Amen to that. “He’s such a gentleman.
“I think Michael only wanted her back because he saw her laughing and happy with Greg. He was jealous,” he said.
“It would have been difficult for Amber to build trust with Michael. I think it would have brought back memories of when she was hurt in the past.”
Tweedy is running Amber's social media account during her time on the show, also claimed that Amber would never have sex in the villa.
“Never in a million years. She’s been getting requests on Instagram from companies like Babestation and Pornhub,” he said.
I hope Greg and Amber are another Jamie and Camilla.. met at the last minute and have been together ever since, I love them together and she deserves it after what she’s been through in the villa #loveisland#amberandgregpic.twitter.com/SAzyFNoaZo
Maura’s Instagram following has boomed since she entered the Love Island villa a month ago.
The pair argued over his involvement in Jordan Hames' controversial decision to confess his feelings for India Reynolds after just making Anna Vakili his girlfriend, behind her back.
Hewitt told OK! magazine that she's adapting to the couple, but isn't confident that they'll last.
“It could be a summer romance, and then they’ll come back to reality,” she said. I do believe Maura likes him. I love that she’s upfront and feisty, but I think she’s a bit overpowering.

Jason Momoa is well known for being one of the most infectious sources of energy in the celebrity sphere, but he's truly made a few children's wishes come true today.
The 39-year-old Aquaman star, who was launched to fame after starring as Khal Drogo in Game of Thrones, shared a series of adorable photos from his first Make A Wish Foundation volunteering experience.
He spent time with some of his youngest fans, many of whom are terminally ill. The actor was clearly overcome with emotion about spending time with such inspiring youngsters.
He captioned the sweet photo; “My first 'Make A Wish'. I will do this for life. Such an amazing day with Eva Eros and Kalice and all the ohana.”
Momoa added, “Mahalo Warner Bros for setting up an amazing tour for these beautiful children.” The actor is known for using Hawaiian phrases on his social media posts.
The superhero gave the kids an inside look at Warner Bros Studios, where a few costumes for its biggest franchise are held.
The Batman costume and Batmobile, as well as the Aquaman throne and his costume from the 2018 film live at the studio, among others.
Momoa admitted that he had been so moved by the Disney film that he cried “numerous” times.
“The Lion King was amazing congrats to everyone who made this film. It was epic.” he wrote, adding, “Thanks for making me cry numerous of times in front of a bunch of children.”

Finally, we have the data which reveals the changing ordering habits and food trends poised to hit Ireland this summer.
It's vital information that we simply HAD to know, and Deliveroo went full FBI secret agent to discover the fascinating food facts.
The summer trends reveal that low alcohol consumption and the 'fourth' meal notion are changing our eating habits. The data also shows that seafood, exotic fruits and hemp-based products are on the rise.
Summer is knocking on the door and it's time to binge the ridiculousness that is Love Island and crack open a beer in the back garden.
There's a grand oul stretch in the evenings, meaning we can have a picnic lasting pretty much all night. It's no surprise that our eating habits change in the sunny season.
Deliveroo's data shows that changing consumption patterns, seafood and exotic fruits are all on our summer menu in 2019.
Without further ado, here are the top five summer food trends in Ireland:
1. Lower alcohol consumption
Restaurants like Morocco Gate and The Hill in Ranelagh have incredible virgin beverages for those who are kicking the booze.
According to research, younger generations of Irish people are drinking way less than the previous generations at the current age. Whether that's for health reasons or just preference, it seems the youth are lovin' that sober life.
The trend is due to carry on in the same manner, as delicious mocktails and non-alcoholic beers come further into the fray.
2. Hemp-based products
CDB Oil (Cannabidiol) is a phytocannabinoid which is believed to be associated with wellness and health benefits.
Hemp-based products have exploded onto the scene and their popularity is showing zero signs of slowing down.
Deliveroo caters for CBD lovers through hemp ingredients found in Freshii and 143 restaurant dishes.
Umamii and The Hulk both contain ingredients of this kind, and the food-delivery platform expects to make many more hemp-based products available soon.
Ireland's taste for seafood has apparently evolved past the stage of 'fish and chips' for the warm summer months.
The emergence of gorgeous restaurants ike Bao House, Miyazaki and Toyko Kitchen has led to an influx of seafood dishes becoming trendy in the capital city.
Shellfish, seaweed, sushi and sea snacks have become sophisticated common orders on Irish menus, with requests for sushi alone increasing by 35 percent this year.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are becoming less than regular for many Irish people's standard meal structure.
A 'fourth', smaller meal fits in with the busy lives of Ireland's millennials, apparently. The most popular times to order on Deliveroo at the moment are 9:43am, 1:04pm, 3:45pm and 7:35pm.
As a result of this newfound demand, Deliveroo has extended its delivery hours to later times, where customers can now order from over 30 food favourites.
Eddie Rockets, Subway, Burrito & Blues and Supermacs in Dublin, Cork and Galway are now delivering food via Deliveroo until 2am. Midnight snack alert?
2019 has seen a 23 percent jump in the number of partners who have used ingredients from the Pacific-Rim, featured in the new dishes of Maneki and Opium.
Flavours from the Southern Hemisphere are diversifying Ireland's food palate, and this summer will see more fresh, tastebud tingling foods emerge.
Dragonfruit, guava and seafood dishes are at the top of our Pacific-Rim lists, that's for sure.
Eyal Booker was catapulted into fame last year after taking part in the phenomenon that is Love Island, the ITV2 reality show that's become beloved all over the world.
The 23-year-old appeared on Celebs Go Dating after his stint in the Spanish villa, and definitely knows his stuff when it comes to reality TV romance.
We caught up with the model and TV star at the launch of a massively-exciting essence lip collection. Their Lip Saviours range features 52 fabulous products including lipsticks, lipglosses, lipliners and liquid lipsticks.

Oh, did we mention that they're all under €4? essence have also created the ultimate lip look book to offer you dozens of options to create your signature look.
essence also prides itself on it's cruelty-free status, so you can mix and match to find your glamorous, natural, vibrant, glossy, understated or matte lip looks without worrying about animal testing.
Eyal Booker is representing the ground-breaking beauty brand, which sponsors both Love Island on Virgin Media player as well as the biggest pageant in the country; Miss Ireland 2019.
Of course, we simply had to ask him his opinions on our Irish exports, namely Longford lass Maura Higgins.
“I love the Irish contestants, I love Maura. I just loved her from the start. I think that the way she’s entered the villa, the way that she’s held herself, the things she comes out with; I think she’s a powerful, independent woman who’s proud of who she is and stands up for what she believes in and says what she wants. I think that that’s really inspiring for young women out there, and she’s a good influence and good person to have within the public eye and society”.
“She’s going to have a good career. At first, it took a little time to get used to her but now we can’t get enough of her. She’s contagious and just says it how it is. That goes a long way in this show.”
The latest controversy to shake the villa is, of course, the meltdown between Anna Vakili and Jordan Hames.
The model asked Anna to be his girlfriend only days ago, yet pulled India Reynolds aside for a chat (on Curtis' advice) to confess his feelings for her, while Anna was only metres away.
What does Eyal think was going through his head? The pair were dumped from the villa last night, but were they authentic?
“I don’t know where that’s come from (Jordan’s feelings for India), I don’t know what Jordan was thinking. They’ve screwed each other over within the process, you know when Anna left him for Ovie and then came back to him and now Jordan’s about to do the same. As much as they’re trying to make us believe their relationship, I don’t buy the reasons that they’re in the villa. I just think they want to be genuine but they’re actually just not that into each other.”
ITV bosses have faced numerous accusations that the reality show is a 'fix', with claims made against the honesty of each character.
In Eyal's time in the villa, he denies that the show every forced anyone into a certain narrative of hero or villain, womaniser or gentleman;
“They don’t try and create something that’s not there. They highlight some things over others, in terms of the edit. I wasn’t just this spiritual, tree-hugging guy but that’s a lot of what I was made out to be. You can’t all be the same, and they edit everyone a different way. There’s no one there saying ‘You should do this’ or ‘You should do that’.”
Other criticisms made against the show involve the noteworthy emphasis on physique and appearance. Does Eyal think the show has contributed to the continued popularity of beauty pageants like Miss Ireland?
“Pageants have always been popular and I think with social media and the world that we live in, they can grow even quicker and bigger because there’s accessibility to a wider audience. I think Love Island showcases the fact that it can reach such a vast and big audience. It encourages other people to get on social media and get on platforms and use that platform in order to further themselves."
Amy Hart recently posted an Instagram snap of a charity who she works with closely, but trolls commented that the image was 'boring'. Social media presence is a huge part of Love Island stars' careers when many of them leave, but do they control who they work with and their brand?
According to Eyal; “We have complete control. When I came out of the villa, I got a management because I needed to manage everything that was going on. They try and guide you in a direction that they see fit for you but also a direction that you see fit for yourself. It’s just a discussion that you have. We have incredible platforms when we come out, and I think charity is a big thing on people’s minds and people want to use their platform for good as well. It’s something that a lot of people go into and become ambassadors for because, as much as you’re reaping the rewards of having such a huge platform and getting all of these brand deals, you also want to give back to people in less fortunate positions."
He continued; "Charity is a nice thing to do, I’ve always worked with them but now I’m doing on them on a bigger scale because I’ve got a bigger audience.”
“I work with World Vision, very closely. I’m an ambassador for them, and I also work with the RSPCA and Dog’s Trust. I’ve always loved animals, all animals, and animal welfare. World Vision is to do with young children and their families in areas of conflict or disaster, and it’s about sending emergency response and helping them further themselves. Children are the future, they’re the generation who are going to shape our world and who are going to be here when we’re not. Providing them with the best possible tools in order to have the best and brightest future is essential for our world to get better and better.”
Another problematic aspect of the show, arguably, is their continuous sponsorship from fast fashion brands. The stars wear different ensembles every day in the villa, with companies like I Saw It First working with the reality show.
I love Love Island, I just do, (call me a sucker for a fairytale in a thong) but I hate its sponsorship & promotion of fast, throwaway fashion – which surely can’t have been made by people paid enough or treated… https://t.co/R1zEKyk8w8
Once the Islanders leave the villa, many of them will work with branding constantly, showing a materialistic lifestyle via their social platforms. Does Eyal see an issue with this side of Love Island life?
“It’s an interesting one, I actually hadn’t heard that until now. I think there’s two sides to this story. I think that everyone’s individual style and fashion showcases the fact that you can self-express and be who you want to be, and dress and wear what you want to wear. I think fast fashion is affordable for people, but at the same time, fast fashion is one of the biggest polluters of our environment. It contributes to huge amount of emissions and pollution and adds to climate change."
He continues; "It’s one of those things where we want instant gratification and we want to be able to purchase all the things that we want for a low price but we don’t really see at which cost we’re getting them at and how detrimental it is to our environment. I’m in a Catch 22 about that one, I work with some fast fashion brands and I would like to think I’m an environmentalist and I care about our planet. I think there’s a balance that we can find within it. Although fast fashion, although it’s been around for a while, it has only just come into play and become as popular as it is. It’s about us starting to regulate that and coming on board with how we as a society consume things and over-consume things.”
“Through omnipresent product placements and advertising, #LoveIsland has turned into fast fashion’s biggest advocate.” https://t.co/5I3HBXVln7
Does he do his homework on the brands that he associates with, when it comes to ethics?
“essence is cruelty-free which is part of the reason I’m at this event. I couldn’t be an ambassador for, let’s say the RSPCA who campaign against animal testing, and then a brand who test on animals. We’re only human and we make mistakes, we overlook things, but we try as hard as we can to highlight the things that align with me and then we go from there.”
The show is undeniably heteronormative, and excludes the majority of the population.
"The fact that it would be such a big deal is testament to the fact of how far we’ve got to go." https://t.co/oV0USsKTYs
With Love Island spreading Stateside and now to South Africa for the winter edition, does he think these expansion moves could mean an LGBTQ+ version could be in the pipeline soon?
“I think it would take some time for people to catch on to. I’ve grown up within an entertainment, performing world, I don’t differentiate between anyone; your sex, the colour of your skin, your appearance; whatever you are, you are. But I think we, as a society, whether we like it or not are still evolving and still changing and becoming aware of the LGBTQ+ community. I think as much as I’d like to say that there’d be no stigmas attached and no judgements, if we see what judgements come from Love Island and how much stick people can get as heterosexuals, then we have to be realistic at what the response would be. I think that that’s the way it’s going to go, and eventually there will be all kinds of shows for all kinds of people, but we have to ease it in slowly.”
Love Island is setting quite the romantic scene tonight, as Maura and Curtis, Ovie and India and Greg and Amber all head on their final one-on-one dates before Monday's final.
Maura and Curtis head on their second date, after that weird orange picking incident earlier in the week.
Maura receives the text which tells the couple to head out of the villa, and Curtis is so above himself that he leaps into the pool. He says in the Beach Hut; "I’m just so excited, Maura makes me smile."
"She makes me happy and she makes me laugh. I could just look at her all day because she is absolutely beautiful."
Image: ITV/REX
Maura smiles as she says that "the last one went really well, so I’m sure this one will be even better!". Curtis asks Maura if she thinks her parents will like him, and she confirms the Mammy's love.
"Yes! Mammy would absolutely love you. I would be nervous to meet your parents." Curtis then reassures Maura that his "parents will love you." We bet.
"I know I don’t tell you a lot of the time that I like you, but I really do," Maura emphasises to the dancer. "You’re funny and I love your smile. When you smile, I smile."
"I’m a very lucky man,’ Curtis replies, before grabbing Maura for a dance before their date ends. Hmmm, didn't he have a similar date with Amy
Image: ITV/REX
Next up, it's #Gramber. The charming Irish lad and the fierce Amber. We heart them. Greg receives a text saying himself and the Newcastle beauty will be getting alone time at last, on a boat.
"I remember walking through the door on the first day and not liking anyone," Amber says in the Beach Hut ahead of their date. "And now I’m on my final date with Greg, who I actually really like."
"Me and Amber have really connected," Greg reveals in the Beach Hut. "We have each other’s backs and we’re really getting on. It feels really special to be here and to have met her." AWWWW.
Amber finally expresses to Greg how she really feels; "When we first met, I had an instant connection and that is something that I never get,’ she tells the Limerick rugby player.
Image: ITV/REX
He replies with the same emotion; I’ve never had an instant connection with someone," he tells her. "It was so easy with you. I’m just delighted that I got to meet you."
"I felt it straight away and I was just hoping you felt the same. I wouldn’t want to be on this date with anyone else," Amber says. "Look at you getting all soppy," Greg laughs.
"Doesn’t happen often so take it while you can,’ a bashful Amber jokes.
Finally it's Ovie and India's shot at a romantic outing. Ovie can't hide his happiness in the Beach Hut; "I’m excited about going on this date with India. I’ve been waiting a while for this. It has come at the ideal time.
Image: ITV/REX
It's India's first time outside of the villa since her arrival; "I'm so excited," she says. "It’s pretty hot outside and he’s hot, so I don’t know how much hotter it’s going to get!"
The couple walk down a candelit path to their date. "I would say this is a hell of a start to something," Ovie tells India before she opens up to him.
"I’m so glad you’ve been in the villa the whole time," she says. "It’s been an amazing experience but it wouldn’t have been half as good if you hadn’t have been there.
"I came in to meet someone but I didn’t expect to meet someone and get on with them and like them as much as I like you,’ India tells a delighted Ovie.
Image: ITV/REX
"You know I don’t know how to take compliments," he jeers. Ovie also tells India that he wasn't expecting to find love, and was fine with simply being ‘Amber’s guardian angel’.
"When I walked into that date, you stood out to me so clear," he tells her. "It really changed the whole experience for me. It’s brightened up my days."
India gushes over his respect for her security, saying; "Do you know what my favourite thing about you is? You’re always checking that I’m ok and you’ll just give me a little wink or a nod."
Damn, we love Ovie. Can he be a boyfriend to every woman in the world? Or guardian angel? Anything? Check out the preview below;
Looks like this brilliant Irish beauty brand has yet another celebrity fan to add to it's list: None other than the legendary American rapper Cardi B.
