Look, we'd be the first to admit that there'd want to be a fairly hefty sum of money waiting for us if we were to agree to a trip through New York's 'scariest haunted house'.

And by the looks of things, that was also Kevin Hart's and Jimmy Fallon's criteria when it came to taking a trip through Blood Manor for Jimmy's nightly talk show.

Having survived a now infamous rollercoaster ride together in 2014, the two showbiz mates decided to show viewers exactly what they were made of by taking on the Blood Manor challenge.

And it turns out they're not made of much.

From Jimmy's pre-pubscent screams to Kevin admitting the whole situation was 'giving him gas', these two lads would have been better suited to a brief ride on the ghost train.

Like, we genuinely think we could have handled this… ahem.

Most grooms fear they'll return from their stag do in some way incapacitated, but for one lad from Roscommon the bad luck befell him before the whistle was officially blown on his pre-wedding celebrations in Poland.

And it looks like his wingmen are more than happy to go on without him… as long as they can find a suitable replacement.

Taking to Done Deal with a clear mission, more than 20 lads from the West explain the need for a quick deal, stating: "Unfortunately the stag had accident with stairs broken ribs punctured lung bla bla bla."

Putting the call out for a replacement stag, the lads – with clear concern for their fallen brother – gave a quick round-up of what would be required of their new mate.

'Must be fit, healthy and able to answer to Eamo." the ad reads. "Must be good craic and have passport. Leaving Roscommon 12.30 Friday. €100 to change name on ticket. Good weekend assured."

Who'd say no to that?!

For anyone who hasn't been keeping up to speed with the goings on of former Girls Aloud members, Sarah Harding has been busy treading the boards in Blackpool as Molly in Ghost the Musical.

But it doesn't exactly sound like she's been captivating audiences if Twitter is anything to go by.

Having been forced to pull out of her Monday night performance due to a knee injury, Sarah was replaced by understudy Kelly Hampson who reportedly pulled off the performance actually expected of Sarah.

Taking to Twitter to pour scorn on Sarah's depiction of Demi Moore's on-screen character, members of the public didn't hold back.

"Just been to see Ghost and I've never heard anyone sing as bad as Sarah Harding," wrote one.

"Thank god Sarah Harding understudy came on half way through, I've never heard or seen someone that bad in a show!" added another.

"Sarah Harding was an embarrassment, she can't sing and kept talking over co stars lines I won't be wasting money," commented another.

It's going to be hard to come back from that amount of criticism…

In case you missed it, tickets for Coldplay's Croke Park gig went on sale yesterday morning, and despite queuing, refreshing, sweating and praying, countless fans emerged from their mission empty-handed.

And if Twitter is anything to go by, disgruntled fans know exactly who they want to blame.

Venting fury at Ticketmaster, members of the public have accused the outlet of providing their sister company with tickets which were ultimately sold at a higher price – an accusation which the company have denied.

Between the gig selling out in under forty minutes and tickets going for re-sale soon after, Twitter is not happy.

Yesterday, we brought you the news that when it comes to stressing out their mates, dogs are clearly up there with friends who insist you need another shot… on a school night.

And while Jack and Archie were once Twitter's favourite pooches, they've had to make way for a dog who got his head stuck in a doughnut… and couldn't be happier about it.

Taking to social media to share an insight into her pet's thought process, Twitter user, Brielle, wrote: "I put this donut pillow on my dog 20 minutes ago and he loves it and won't let me take it off."

Brielle shared a variety of snaps and with 71,000 likes and counting, something tells us that when it comes to dogs and doughnuts, Twitter is fully on board.

Whether languishing on the kitchen floor on posing on the bedroom throw, this dog knows you're never fully dressed with a doughnut.

Commenting on the collage of adorable snaps, one Twitter user wrote: "That went from odd > silly > f*cking hilarious > utterly amazing in three pics."

"My mom's reply to this "Aww! Now everyone's gonna want one. Goes with everything!'" added another.

And then we had the guy who rolled out the slickest dad joke of all time, quipping: "Hmmm…. Dog with a doughnut around his neck… I guess deep down he wants to be a police dog!"

Oh, you!

When it comes to our wedding day, the dance us ladies generally focus on is the first one between ourselves and the person we've just married.

But if you think five minutes swirling around the floor to John Legend's All of Me gives you carte blanche to air guitar with your bridesmaids all evening, think again.

In a move which has lit a fire under bridal parties all over the world, one bride and her four bridesmaids decided to perform a perfectly choreographed routine to Beyoncé's Upgrade U.

And ladies, they slayed.

Calling on the ladies in their lives to get their own heads in the game in time for the big day, Twitters users have wasted no time tagging mates in an effort to set the ball rolling.

"Gals was genuinely gonna tag you and ask can we start rehearsals soon," wrote one while another added: "F**k yeah! We need to start preparing for Mary's wedding."

Unfortunately, not everyone was on board with one gal admitting: "I'm not in shape to do this. Sorry" and another explaining: "Just to clarify – this would be physically impossible for me to do if you're getting ideas."

Ah ladies, where's the enthusiasm?!

Remember how hideous it was when a middle-aged teacher would utter words like ‘orgasm’ or ‘ejaculation’ when attempting to educate you and your class on the wonder that is the human reproductive system?

While we all made it out of those particular Biology classes alive (only just, mind), the hideous memories came flooding back this week when we heard Pat Kenny throwing the word ‘gee’ around on national radio like nobody’s business.

Assuming the much-loved broadcaster had momentarily lost his mind and forgotten the mike was switched on, we soon realised good ol’ Pat was simply trying to get to grips with a butter-like product known as ghee.

Inviting what we can only assume is a ghee expert to join him in the studio for a crash course on the aforementioned product, she and Pat indulged in numerous innuendo with wild abandon.

And listeners all over Ireland instantly regretted ever purchasing a radio.

We mean, did he really need to use the word over and over? And did she really need to invite him to smell her ghee? And did he really need to ask her how she uses her ghee?

No they didn’t, but now we all know…. and there's nothing any of us can do about it.

We all know what it's like to start laughing at the most inopportune moment, right?

Whether it's during a medical appointment, immediately after hearing bad news or in the middle of a presentation, when that fit of giggles strikes, there's very little we can do about it.

And while it's bad enough on that scale, doing it on national television definitely takes the biscuit, but that's exactly what happened when CTV News Winnipeg host, Maralee Caruso,  attempted to report on the story of a British man who lived for three days… as a goat.

That's right ladies, Goat Man is real, and he's written a book on his research too.

Describing the reasoning behind Thomas Thwaites' decision to create prosthetic limbs and live in the Alps, Maralee and her two co-hosts nearly keeled over with the mirth.

And thankfully, one viewer had the good sense to share it on Twitter.

When it comes to the love story that was Jack Dawson and Rose DeWitt Bukater in Titanic, more than a few questions have been raised over the years.

Why did Rose not move over? Why did Jack not demand Rose move over? And how would the romance have played out had it been set in Dublin?

While Enya Martin, the woman who brought us Mean Girls – Dublin style, can’t offer definitive answers for the first two, she’s done an amazing job tackling the third.

In an upload which has been shared more than 11,000 times from the Giz a Laugh account, the Facebook and YouTube comedian parodies the love story which hit the silver screen almost twenty years ago, and absolutely nails it.

Brace yourselves for this one, ladies.

There's barely a house in Ireland that doesn't boast a Christy Moore album, and we all know a 21st party, wedding reception, or retirement shindig wouldn't be complete without a tune from the man himself.

So, we are absolutely PUMPED that the Kildare-native has confirmed he will be taking to the stage at Vicar St. later this year.

If you can chant the words to Joxer with the best of them or perform a haunting rendition of Ride On after a G&T or ten, it's time to bring your A-game, and get your hands on those tickets, ladies.

Christy will be giving it socks in the famous Dublin venue on December 19 and 20 as well as Jan 2 and 3, with tickets costing between €39.50 and €49.50.

They will be going on sale Thursday September 29 at 9am, so you have six days to prepare yourselves.

We can't wait!

He may have looked pretty slick on the night, but it looks like the run-up to the Emmy Awards was anything but plain-sailing for Jimmy Kimmel.

In footage which has racked up more than a quarter of a million hits in less than 24 hours, the much-loved host can be seen hitchhiking to the venue with the help of some of our favourite TV stars.

After escaping the clutches of Modern Family's Phil and enthusiastically chiming in with everyone's favourite driver (James Corden, obvs) Jimmy finds himself, yet again, without a ride to the show.

The intro to this year's awards has come in for massive praise from YouTubers, with one writing: "Jimmy Kimmel is f**king gold."

"Funniest guy on late night currently imo," added another.

Ladies, check this out!

If you're a die-hard Corrie fan, you'll have seen some things in your day.

From Sarah Louise's pregnancy at 13 and Richard Hillman's killing spree to that infamous tram crash and hostage situation, Coronation Street viewers are made of stern stuff when it comes to their soap storylines.

Or are they?

While they may be able to handle all of the above, it seems they struggle when it comes to a simple hook-up scene between two of the show's male characters.

"Homosexual scenes in #Corrie tonight were sickening. Most now tolerate this practice but we don’t need it rammed down our throats," wrote one member of the public.

Stunned that producers would give the go-ahead for a kissing scene between Billy Mayhew and Todd Grimshaw, viewers took to Twitter in the droves – and Daniel Brocklebank, who plays Billy, is furious.

Using the same medium as his critics, he tweeted: "Had many angry tweets saying "I'm disgusted my kids saw men kiss on tv"

"I'm disgusted they left it up tv to teach their kids how love works," the actor added in a post which has been liked thousands of times.

Thankfully, it looks like Daniel's outrage hasn't been in vain and he has since returned to Twitter to thank social media users for their support.

"Thanks for ur AMAZING messages! Let's not hate on the homophobes," he wrote before adding: "We're bigger than that. Hate breeds more hate. They need love & education."

Paying tribute to the actor today, one follower replied: "I'm bursting with pride for the way you handle all of that, thank you for being a good egg."
