If you were one of the lucky people to go to see Rihanna in concert at the Aviva Stadium last night, then you might have seen the singer get a bit overwhelmed.

While singing Love the Way You Lie, the Irish audience chanted back the lyrics to her, and it seems like it was all just a bit too much.

Seconds later, she starts tearing up, and was so emotional that she wasn't able to continue singing!

US gossip website, TMZ are stunned by the sight, but we know Irish fans have a certain charm on people.

'Super cute' and 'exhibition' aren't terms you'd normally put together – but when it comes to Dublin's new petography exhibit, they're perfectly matched.

On Tuesday night a host of Ireland's best known faces gathered together to look at some rather unique photos of their pets at the Petography: Secret Life of Pets Exhibition in Dublin's Temple Bar.

The display, which was created by the team from Universal Pictures Ireland to celebrate the release of The Secret Life of Pets, documents what the pets of Irish celebrities get up to when their owners aren't around.

Featuring the furry friends of international rugby player Gordon D’Arcy, TV presenters Glenda Gilson and Kathryn Thomas and models Roz Purcell, Rosanna Davison and Holly Carpenter, this launch was a cuteness overload.

The free display – which opened to the public yesterday and will run until June 28 – is being held at Filmbase in Temple Bar to help raise money for Ireland's largest animal welfare charity, the ISPCA.

In two weeks time when the event closes, the images – which were shot by celebrity photographer Lili Forberg – will be auctioned off to raise funds for the charity.

Free event – check.  Good cause – check.   Adorable animals – check. 

The Secret Life of Pets will hit Irish cinema screens on June 24, and we are PUMPED!

A suspicious package was found this morning near Store Street Garda Station.

A man in his 40s has been arrested and searched after he was spotted in the Store Street area. He has been taken to Irishtown Garda Station for more questioning.

The Luas Red Line and Busaras bus station were closed down, as well as The Jacobs Inn Hostel. The hostel was evacuated around 6.30am, when the alarm was raised.

A garda spokeswoman said: "Gardai have closed off a road after an incident this morning and the Army Bomb Disposal Team attended the scene."

The road has now been re-open but commuters are expected to be delayed if travelling by train or on the Luas Red Line.

It's the salad bar with the serious following – and now Chopped has branched out from its city centre, Ballsbridge, Baggot St, and Fairview locations to another site in Rathmines.

Suffice to say from now on it will be giving Dublin 6-based folk some incredibly delicious lunch options, but right now it's practically a riot down there.

Why? Well, because at the moment salads are being given out FOR FREE.

The offer extends until lunchtime (1pm) so if you happen to be in the area, you need to elbow your way in pretty much immediately.

After 1pm, all purchases for the rest of the day are a wholly tempting half price. 

For anyone who misses out – there is some further good news, however: Tallaght and Sandyford will also be getting their own outlets very soon.

Hurrah for salad!

Thousands of us pass through or work right in the centre of Dublin, yet when it becomes the norm to us, we don't realise just how gorgeous our capital is.

Well, Canon decided to show us just how pretty the city centre is by holding an event in the capital's most photographic locations, which saw us snapping away until midnight.

The night was crystal clear (which is practically unheard of!) and our lads that went to the event were able to capture beautiful shots of Dublin by night.

A short briefing was given by photographer Dave McKane beforehand, and the results are stunning:

If you love Disney, have ever been to Disneyland, or are simply just the smallest Mickey Mouse fan, then you need to see the GIGANTIC Disney cruise ship that arrived in Dublin this morning. GAH.

Carrying nearly 4,000 people, the Disney Magic Cruiseliner stopped in Dublin at 5.30am as it's making its way from Port Canaveral in Florida to Dover in the UK.

The ship is absolutely massive. Huge. It has 11 decks on board and is 300m long, making it the perfect size to comfortably enter and turn around in the River Liffey.

Passengers on the cruise were given Cruise Dublin Visitor passes this morning so they could enjoy the city before departing at 5.30pm this evening.

They were also greeted by what Dublin Port described as a "Game of Thrones inspired entertainment spectacle."

It's a common thing. More common than you think.

Say you're heading out on a Saturday night. You all meet in your friend's house, and when the drinks run out, you haven't a notion where to head to next.

Do these scenarios seem familar? If yes, then there's a new app here to help you out. Yay!

Dublin Pub Finder will help you find the perfect pub in the city centre based on your preferences.

Niall Horan has been living it up in Dublin over the past week or so, and if you were in Krystal nighclub last night, you might have even bumped shoulders with him.

The singer has been relaxing (and partying) on home turf while cheering on his BFF Rory McIlroy at the Dubai Duty Free Irish Open.

Niall headed to The Bridge in Ballsbridge last night to start the evening off – a pub which is owned by rugby players Jamie Heaslip, Sean O’Brien and Rob and Dave Kearney.

However, he swiftly made his way to Dublin's Harcourt Street to party the night away at Krystal – and we're kicking ourselves for not going to the popular spot.

“Niall wanted to come to Krystle just to chill, so the managers cut off a private bar in their suite just for him and friends,” a source told Goss.ie.
