With Radiohead and Coldplay having already sent Irish music fans into a tailspin this year, we didn't know how much more hysteria we could take when it came to upcoming gigs in our capital city.

And then Bruno Mars and Emeli Sandé announced they would be both taking to the stage in Dublin next year… and all bets were off.

While we'd love to say they were collaborating, unfortunately that's not the case, but hey maybe next time.
 

Emeli will be playing the Olympia Theatre on March 18 next year while Bruno will be hitting up Dublin's 3Arena on April 29.

If Emeli is your bag, you need to bring your A-game this Friday morning when tickets go on sale, but if Bruno swings it for you, then prime yourself for next Monday morning when you and countless others will be vying for a place in Bruno's audience.

Is it normal to feel stressed and excited in equal measure?!

While the viewing public could listen to Scarlett Moffatt for days on end, it seems they'd happily press 'mute' on Vicky Pattison.

It looks like the former Geordie Shore star hasn't gained any new fans after trying her hand at the ol' presenting on the latest series of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here.

 

Vicky, who won last year's series of the long-running show, was joined by Stacey Solomon, Chris Ramsey and Joe Swash on Extra Camp, and as far as viewers are concerned, she should leave the presenting to Ant and Dec.

The Judge Geordie star has come in for serious criticism on Twitter today, but if we know Vicky like we think we do, she won't bat an eyelid.

Good news for Aerosmith fans!

The US band have today announced that they will be taking to the stage in Dublin as part of their 'farewell tour' next summer.

Set to bring the house down at Dublin's 3Arena on June 14 next year, tickets for what is set to be an epic gig will go on sale this Friday at 9am.

The band who have been together for –  wait for it –  a staggering 45 years are said to be pumped at the prospect of performing to their European fanbase, and shared a video of a spoof news segment which shows them announcing their intentions.

"Aerosmith will return across the Atlantic with one of the greatest rock shows ever seen and will undoubtedly be the ultimate must see event of 2017 as the band embark upon this, their 'farewell' tour, saying 'Aero-Vederci Baby!" a statement from the band said.

We can't wait!

Let's be honest – the only thing better than a trad session is an impromptu trad session.

And if anyone has that nailed it's Ímar – a trad group made of up of five lads from Ireland, England, Scotland and the Isle of Man – who decided to make the most of a hellish traffic jam in Germany by whipping out their instruments and taking part in a spur-of-the-moment practice session.

Setting up shopir among miles of stationary vehicles, the lads got stuck in – and the internet can't get enough.

Sharing footage of the session on Facebook, they wrote: "People often ask how we find time to practice… #tourlife #themar #faterlight.

Racking up more than 1,500 likes this weekend, the footage was clearly a major hit with the band's fans and followers.

"Lol. Nothing more than expected. Well done lads," wrote one Facebook user. "Bet you put a smile on a lot of folk stuck in that traffic jam."

"Thanks lads. Brought a smile to my face. Hup!" added another.

Now, that's how you do it.

When it comes to the world of celebrity, there is a very distinct hierarchy.

And unfortunately for many British reality TV show stars, they often get a fairly hefty dose of… well… reality when they realise that not everybody who appears on television is held in the same regard.

Venting about this issue in her column for Star magazine, The Only Way is Essex cast member, Chloe Sims, expressed confusion over the fact she was denied entry to a club because an Olympic medallist was already inside.

Eager to highlight the 'downsides' of fame, Chloe wrote: "Once I got told I wasn’t allowed in because Usain Bolt was there. What’s that got to do with me?’"

34-year-old Chloe insists her role on the ITVBe reality show often means she's judged unfairly by the general public – something which apparently sometimes wreaks havoc on a night out.

"I've been refused entry to a nightclub three times because I’m on the show', she complained.

Don't worry Chloe, there's still always Marbs.

When it comes to Harry Potter merchandise, the sky's the limit for some people.

And nowhere was this more evident than during a recent auction which saw a first edition Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone go for a staggering £43,750.

While those in the know at Bonhams Fine Books and Manuscripts Sale estimated the book might go for between £15,000 and £20,000, it exceeded all expectations after a series of what has been described as "intense bidding".

"This was an exceptional price for a much-loved modern classic," senior specialist Simon Roberts said following the astronomical deal.

“The book was in excellent condition which added to its appeal for collectors and I am not surprised that it attracted so much interest and such intense bidding.”

According to reports, the first edition, which hit shelves in June 1997, went to a London-based businessman.

The entire plot of Game of Thrones Season Seven has reportedly been leaked online.

Fans of the hit show were left in turmoil today after a report by GOT community site Watchers on the Wall suggested that a Reddit leak of the plot may well be legitimate.

According to The Huffington Post, Reddit user awayforthelads shared Season Seven spoilers online three weeks ago, but it wasn’t until Watchers on the Wall confirmed some of the leaked details by comparing them to set photographs and source information that viewers began to take the leak seriously.

So what did this mysterious Reddit user predict?

WARNING: THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE TO LOOK AWAY!

If the leak’s claims are correct, Dany and Jon Snow hook up, the Wall falls, Arya kills Littlefinger, Jon does not find out who his real parents are, Jon’s real name is Aegon, Olenna acknowledges that she poisoned Joffrey, Cersei is pregnant, Targaryen recognises Jon and the White Walkers take control of one of Dany’s dragons.

Naturally, fans of the show have been left distraught by news of the leak.  Many have taken to Twitter to discuss their internal state of struggle.

Look, by the time the crown has been officially placed on the head of the winner, we generally know all there is to know about each and every I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here contestant.

But we'd be lying if we said we always knew who each 'celebrity' was at first glance.

Thankfully, however, it doesn't look like we're going to have to rely on Google in order to identify this year's contestants because if emerging reports are true, the show's bosses have a total belter lined up this year.

From reality stars to soap stars, we're actually able to identify the vast majority of this year's potential jungle recruits.

Let's take a look…

Joel Dommett

If you don't remember him from Skins, you may known him from Live in Chelsea and Impractical Jokers UK.

Let's be honest, dropping to your knees and sliding across a floor is a move generally reserved for hyper seven-year-old boys at weddings.

That, however, didn't stop aspiring rapper, Honey G, going for it at the weekend after learning she had made it through to X Factor's next live show.

But unfortunately for the 35-year-old contestant, she didn't quite pull it off, and ended up almost face-plating in front of millions of viewers.

While Honey G played it cool in the wake of the facepalm moment, Twitter had absolutely no chill.

Twitosphere, you can take it from here.

It’s been five years since the last Harry Potter movie hit cinemas, yet somehow the mere mention of the boy wizard still makes fans hyperventilate.

So when that enthusiasm was coupled with the Internet’s love for quirky sci-fi drama Stranger Things, the result was bound to be the best form of viral magic.

A new video has appeared online which imagines a world in which Mike, Dustin and Lucas join forces with Harry, Ron and Hermione, while Eleven and her stash of Eggos face the legendary Professor Snape.

Ever since she appeared on Ex on the Beach and Celebrity Big Brother, there's been no denying Megan McKenna's fiery temper.

And it doesn't look that her experience in the public eye has done anything to rein it in if a recent Twitter outburst is anything to go by.

After sharing a snap of herself sipping on a drink while propping up a bar, the Essex-native tweeted: "Doing what I do best."

And while the post racked up likes from die-hard TOWIE fans, some Twitter users used the post to reference the star's messy relationship with fellow reality star Pete Wicks.

"Really? Coz Pete said you don't drink?" wrote one while another added: "Not according to Pete!"

"All you've done is drink since Pete said you didn't and was boring, very sad, be you!! Not what he wants," remarked yet another.

Instead of ignoring the remarks, Megan went off on one and replied: "You don't f*cking no me! I drank before. Keep your opinion to yourself you troll. I HATE people like you!"

Proving they have the reality star's back, many of Megan's fans were quick to set the record straight… well, kind of.

"You obviously never watch Ex on the Beach," wrote one. "She's always drank." while another added: "If i remember correctly, she drank before any of this, so your point is irrelevant tbh."

Well. good to know… ahem…

Remember the last time you were in such dire need of a chocolate fix, you helped yourself to a stranger's KitKat after letting yourself into their car?

Yeah, us neither.

And while there have been times we'd have stepped over our own mothers for half a Malteaser, we generally subscribe to the school of thought that stealing is wrong… even if you do own up to your actions in a note scrawled on a discarded napkin.

Highlighting the gall of some chocaholics, Hunter Jobbins took to Twitter to share a note which he found in his car after he left his vehicle unattended on college campus.

"Saw KitKat in your cup holder, I love Kit Kats so I checked your door and it was unlocked," read the note. "Did not take anything other than the KitKat. I am sorry and hungry."

Sounding worryingly used to this type of carry-on, Hunter tweeted: "Left my car for maybe 15 minutes in front of the dorms and I come back to this. College, man."

We're sorry, but this is not something we'd get over too quickly.

Thankfully, KitKat is with us on this one and swiftly replied to Hunter's post in an effort to make it up to him.

"Who steals someone's Kit Kat?! WHO DOES THAT?! Shoot us a DM and we'll replace it for you," they assured him.

Ya know what? We've had a few stolen on us in the past too…
