Watch out, ladies, because Kit Harrington is in Northern Ireland!

The star is currently filming season seven of Game of Thrones, and has been spotted out and about in Belfast.

He's a firm fave among fans there as he rarely says no to a picture. He was also spotted his girlfriend, former GOT co-star Rose Leslie. Rumour had it that the pair had split up, but if she's following him over to our green shores, we'd say they're very much still together.

Have you spotted any other GOT cast?

Keep an eye out ladies, because the beaut that is Ed Sheeran is in Ireland at the moment.

Over the last few days, the star has been spotted around our fair green isle, and fans have been snapping him out on the street.

The singer took a break from music this year and previously revealed that he has a connection with Ireland through his grandmother.

According to the Irish Mirror, he was spotted around Belfast during the week but is staying in Dublin for the weekend.

And one person Ed ran into while staying here was Game of Thrones star Liam Cunningham. Both men were in Belfast two days ago and met up for a pint, while also delighting many fans with photos.

Keep your eyes peeeeled.

When it comes to climate change and carbon footprint, Leonardo DiCaprio is a man on a mission.

But long before Leo began promoting environmental awareness, there was only one lad you could call when it came to these matters – and that lad was Captain Planet.

Between Captain Planet and the world's favourite Oscar-dodger, we'd be in safe hands, so it’s no real surprise that the 41-year-old actor has taken up the production reins when it comes to the long-awaited Captain Planet movie.

Only dying to take pollution down to zero, Paramount and Appian Way Productions are bringing the 90s cartoon into the 21st century, and if a quick glance through the cartoon’s archives are anything to go by, it’s in dire need of a modern twist.

We mean, just take a look at the chaos which ensued when the Planeteers took a trip across the pond and wound up in Northern Ireland.

After taking a trip down memory lane with Sean and Stuart, we're fairly sure, you – like us – have a few questions.

Why did Belfast look like an intergalatic wasteland? Why did Sean morph between an Irish and Scottish accent? And why did Captain Planet only care about the 'old people'?!

Unsurprisingly, YouTubers had a hard time wrapping their heads around the cartoon's assessment of the situation in Ulster, with one writing: "Captain Planet will be fondly remembered as the show that united the Irish Catholics and Protestants in cringe."

"I don't know what's more catastrophic. The destruction of his neighbourhood or their attempt at Irish accents," wrote another.

We're with them…

Well, hold the phone because two of our favourite ladies just got tattoos in Northern Ireland.

The babes headed to Belfast to be inked by tattoo artist Kat Paine, who said both of the girls are "dead-on."

Kat took to Facebook to share a fab pic of them in her studio. She captioned the snap: "Got to tattoo these gorgeous girlies today Maisie Williams and Sophie Turner from Game of Thrones."

Neither of the women have shared their matching tattoos yet, but Maisie took to Instagram yesterday to post a picture of the pair along with the caption: "07.08.09."

"Triumphant," "ridiculously good," and "show-stopping" are just some terms used for Busted's comeback tour – which is making us even more excited to see them live.

Yep, Matt Willis, James Bourne and Charlie Simpson are all back together again after 12 years of a break, and their new concert, Pigs Can Fly, seems to be their best one yet.

The lads are bringing their tour to Ireland soon, and will play in Dublin and Belfast later this month.

Special fan packages are also available, which include tickets to the OMFG Zone and the Pigsty Package (which both sound wonderful).

The Pigs Can Fly tour is coming to Belfast's SSE Arena on May 30 and 3Arena in Dublin on May 31. Tickets are priced ar €53.15 are you can get them here.

Can't wait? Yep, us either.

Thousands of Northern Irish fans have been left disappointed today with the news that Little Mix have cancelled both of their Belfast shows.

A rep for the band confirmed the news this afternoon, just minutes before the foursome were due to begin a 2pm matinée show at Belfast's SSE Arena.

The second gig, at 8pm tonight, has also been called off.

According to the band's statement, the group were unable to perform after Jesy Nelson fell ill, but the show's will be rescheduled for a later date.

Unsurprisingly, there has been quite a bit of backlash over on Twitter:

Here's hoping no more dates will be affected.

Jamie Dornan might have gotten some stick for his "awkward" interviews during the Fifty Shades press circuit, but us Irish know he's good craic underneath it all.

In fact, he's even sound enough to take a break from filming to spend some time with his fans, as Belfast ladies Lois Brady and Paula Morrison learnt last week.

The Down native was at the Old High School in Belfast working on the new series of The Fall, and when he got wind that the two ladies were waiting outside to try to meet him, he soon obliged by heading out for a few photos in the rain.

"Security told us if we hung about he would come out and say hello," the ladies told SHEmazing. 

"It was lashing with rain but he came out and he chatted a bit. We got our pics and ran back to the car.

"It reminded me of my Take That stalking days when I was 15."

Just look at him there in black and white… is it just us or did it suddenly get very hot in here?!

A big thank you to Paula Morrison and Lois Brady for sending this in.  If you have a story, video or anything else you think we’d love, catch us on Facebook, Twitter or hello@shemazing.ie. The best submission EVERY month wins a €50 shopping voucher!

Do you have plans for the next four weeks?

Well now you do because there are Christmas markets all around the country that you need to visit. 

We are already stupidly excited about the arrival of the GIANT 15 metre tree that has arrived in Dublin for the festive season. Now we’re even more eager to spread the Christmas cheer because… Christmas markets.

Dublin 

Dublin's Custom House Quarter will be transformed in order to host the I Believe Festival, which is running from November 26 to December 23. 

Along with an appearance from Santa (of course) the “chalet style village” is going to offer amazing food and craft stalls so those last minute shopping trips won’t seem so bad.  Also, this will be the home of that massive tree, so basically everything you love about Christmas in one place.

Galway 

Grab your Lederhosen! Galway's Christmas market is offering a range of traditional fare this year. The market has 50 stalls takinh over the central square, with an amazing mix of food, crafts and festive activity.

Live entertainment is a big part of the festivities here, with choirs galore. And naturally, a souvenir-sized German beer tent sits at the heart of it all, offering Bavarian brews, salty pretzels, sauerkraut and more. Robbie Henshaw will be on hand to kick-off the festival on Friday 20 November.

Limerick 

Limerick's Milk Market is the best spot for Christmas activity for visit for two reasons: 1) ALL of the food and 2) the all-weather canopy covering.

If we’re being honest Irish Christmas markets are more likely to be caressed by rain than snow, so that canopy is a big plus. Also, the stalls packed with artisan foods are there all year round but when Christmas arrives they pull out all the stops. Just try the special festive fudges and you’ll understand.

Belfast 

Stalls are basically packed around Belfast’s City Hall, with a fab range of food, drinks, crafts and titbits available from Europe and beyond.

There is also a special post box whisking post off to the North Pole (get there before Dec 17). Also, brunch lovers should keep St. George’s Market – open all year round – in mind.

Cork 

Not to be outdone, Cork's Glow festival promises to be an amazing Christmas event. This year includes Ireland's largest Ferris wheel… winning. 

The market on Grand Parade has the usual festive food and craft stalls (don't forget to pop into the English Market across the road for a little Christmas nibble).

The highlight of Cork's celebrations though is the transformation of Bishop Lucey Park. The park is to become a Victorian pop-up storybook throughout Glow, with 3D scenes from 'Twas the Night Before Christmas set to create a very ethereal vibe. So you are basically in your own Christmas fairytale.

Belfast bus driver Paul Doyle has been praised by thousands for his kindness to a homeless man after a student who was riding his bus posted about his caring act on Facebook.

AnnaMarie McDaniel wrote a post on the Translink Facebook page. She described  how the driver stopped the bus beside a homeless man who was soaked in the rain. 

On the bus home from university there, absolutely miserable wet and cold night. I get the same bus every Tuesday and…

Posted by AnnaMarie McDaniel on Tuesday, 10 November 2015

The driver handed him a plastic bag with a winter coat that he had bought for him.

By this afternoon more than 66,000 people had liked the post. There were also close to 2,000 comments that praised Paul and thanked him for making their day. 

Michael Dornan, a representative for the Unite union, told Belfast Live:

"Paul is a very laid-back, reserved and quiet person. He told me he had repeatedly seen this young man standing in terrible conditions with no coat and his clothes were very thin.

This particular day he just said he thought he would try and help and look after him. He put it in a bag with some food. The young lad got very emotional and broke down.” 

BT

He added that Paul is a very humble individual and he is taken aback by the amount of people who have responded to his generosity.

This is however not the first time Metro drivers have made the effort to help their local community.

"We as a Union intend to do something on the run-up to Christmas for homeless people, to help them in some way.

They seem to be the forgotten people of Belfast, especially coming up to Christmas."

The mega-famous boyband left thousands of fans heartbroken on Tuesday evening when they backed-out of a high-profile concert at the last minute.

Due to take to the stage at the SSE Arena in Belfast as part of their On The Road Again tour, just 30minutes prior to One Direction's scheduled performance waiting spectators were told via a representative that the gig had been cancelled.

Although at the time an official statement from their management said that Liam Payne was ill, further details of his mystery condition are now emerging… and it seems that the 22-year-old suffered from a 'backstage meltdown'.

"The pressures of fame and being on the road for two years have made Liam ill," a source told The Sun.

“He was devastated about letting everyone down, especially the fans, but he wasn’t physically able to get on stage. He had a complete meltdown.”

The source added that it had been "brewing" for a while and the uncertainty of his future with the band's impending hiatus hadn’t helped matters.

One Direction have now committed to performing an extra Belfast date tomorrow evening for the fans they left disappointed on Tuesday.

 Liam himself took to Twitter to confirm that he is "feeling much better now". He added: "I really can't wait to perform and make it up to everyone later."

Fans were left devastated last night when One Direction cancelled their scheduled On The Road Again tour performance in Belfast.

And with tickets for two more concerts – tonight and tomorrow night – already sold-out, understandably thousands of attendees have been worried that they too would miss out on the show.

However, Aiken Promotions has now said that those WILL go ahead as planned. Better still, anyone who missed out on last night's gig will be able to attend a rescheduled concert this Friday. 

"Once again we apologise for the cancellation of last night’s One Direction show," the statement began. 

"We thank everyone for their understanding and their good wishes to Liam. 

"Tuesday’s concert has been rescheduled for this Friday 23rd October. All tickets from last night's postponed concert will be valid for Friday.

"For anyone not able to attend the rescheduled show on Friday, please contact point of purchase for detail of how to obtain a refund."

With the band going on an extended break from next spring, their three Belfast gigs had been very much eagerly anticipated. 

However, Northern Irish fans – as well as those who had travelled from around the island to the SSE Arena – were left hugely disappointed when the lads cancelled at the last minute.

A statement read out to the largely irate crowd said that Liam Payne had fallen ill and was unable to perform. Disappointingly, none of the band appeared in front of their fans, though Harry, Louis and Niall did take to Twitter later in the evening.

Both Mr Styles and Mr Horan stated that "these things happen," while Mr Tomlinson said the situation was "out of our control".

An online official comment from the band's management last night explained: "Unfortunately One Direction have had to cancel tonight's concert in Belfast.  

"Liam has been taken suddenly ill, and the concert will sadly not be taking place. Fans have been asked to hold on to their tickets and there will be a further statement tomorrow.

"The band apologise to their fans and wish Liam well as soon as possible."

Thieves often don all manner of strange attire in order to conceal their true identity.

And in Belfast this morning, one female armed robber opted for a "distinctive cow-print onesie," as she held up a man in Belfast city centre. 

Police said the woman, who carried a gun, stole cash from her 20-year-old victim on Great Victoria Street at 3am today.

She travelled in a blue Volkswagen Golf and was accompanied by two men at the time. The gang subsequently escaped with a sum of cash in the same vehicle.

The PSNI have now said that they are asking "anyone with any information about this incident to contact detectives".

First rats, now cows, what will Belfast city centre be victim to next?
