Let's be honest, we love it when our international artists show off a little bit of their Irish side.

And Hozier, while on a hiatus from music, did just that while in Killarney recently.

The Wicklow native shared a throwback video on Instagram of himself at the Ladies View – a portion of the Ring of Kerry which "name apparently stems from the admiration of the view given by Queen Victoria's ladies-in-waiting during their 1861 visit."

The musician got a great laugh by being a "rebel" and breaking the rules by being a male in the women-only spot. 

But, something that stuck out to us more than ever, was the caption he put on the video:

 

Throwback to rebel antics #ladiesview #ladiesonly #breakingtherules shmad lad.

A video posted by Andrew Hozier Byrne (@hozier) on

"Throwback to rebel antics #ladiesview #ladiesonly #breakingtherules shmad lad."

Yep. "SHMAD LAD."

How Irish?! We're sure his American fans haven't a notion what he's on about.

Remember when our little Nokia phones could only hold up to 50 texts and once that limit was reached we had to delete them all? Those were the days…

But, not anymore since every conversation you have can now be screen-grabbed and published to the Internet. It's become quite a popular thing lately, and we have to say that this is one of the funniest exchanges we've seen.

One Irish woman decided to troll her boyfriend by texting him High School Musical lyrics. If you can't remember the song, have a listen:

OK, now here's how the conversation went:

She got him good.

By giving €9.99 a month you will be able to keep your HD service and twin-screen viewing OR you can continue to pay €7.99 a month for standard definition and only one screen.

“Impacted members will be clearly notified by email and within the service,” said Netflix.

The lads and lassies over at Facts asked a bunch of kids their thoughts on dating, and let's just say their opinions are pretty hilarious.

As we all know dating can be a very difficult and confusing game, but these kids seems to have it all sorted.

From not calling your date "ugly," to making sure you ask for their last name, they truly spout out some pearls of wisdom.

Now sit back, relax and enjoy the relationship advice.

It was an emotional day at Aintree today as an Irish horse and jockey won the race.

19-year-old David Mullins won for the very first time, and his little brother, Charlie just couldn't keep the tears back.

And it wasn't just us that thought the moment was just too adorable to handle:

Congrats, David!

Jimmy Kimmel has been all about Ireland and St. Patrick's Day on his popular US talkshow Jimmy Kimmel Live this week. 

The infamous presenter has spent the past few days trying to figure out how to pull the perfect pint of Guiness. 

Earlier in the week, he had the Guiness Brewery Ambassador, Eoghan Clavin, on to help teach him how to achieve that perfected Guiness look. 

While Jimmy's own pint went very well, when he tried to have some American fans pull them in an Irish pub on Paddy's Day, it's safe to say that the results were not half as good. 

The host tuned in to Rock and Reilly's Irish Bar in West Hollywood for a pint-pulling contest and the finished products were definitely a bit ropey. 

Watch the hilarious video below:

St Patrick's Day is something of a global holiday at this stage, and while here in Ireland we're content with a few pints of the black stuff on March 17, other countries feel the need to go all out.

Here are just a few of the Paddy's Day "traditions" that we (thankfully) steer away from on the Emerald Isle.

1. Using Guinness as an ingredient (in anything other than stew)
Guinness in a pint glass – yes. Guinness in stew – yes. Guinness in brownies, cheesecake or cupcakes – no,  no and NO.

 

2. Dyeing beer green
Are you enjoying that neon green lager? REALLY though, are you?

 

3. Dyeing rivers green
We're looking at you, Chicago.

 

4. Dyeing anything green, in fact.
A green loaf of soda bread does not a Paddy's Day lunch make.

 

5. Greeting people with obscure phrases as Gaeilge
"Go n-éirí an bóthar leat, a Shéamus!"

 

6. Playing It's A Long Long Way To Tipperary at full blast
Thousands of incredible great songs have come out of Ireland, sadly that's not one of them.

 

7. Affectionately referring to March 17 as "St Patty's Day"
#paddysnotpattys

 

8. Saying "Top of the mornin' to ya!," even in jest
"Top of the mornin' to ya, random Irish person! Can you tell us the way to the Guinness Storehouse?"

9. Having t-shirts made bearing your family name
No true Irish person would be seen dead in a t-shirt proclaiming they were one of "The Killarney O'Shaughnessys," and that's just a fact.

As today marks Proclamation Day in Ireland's 1916 Centenary Programme, schools all over the country gathered to express their vision for Ireland's future.

And over on Twitter, Newstalk decided to get adults in on the event too, by asking people what being Irish meant to them.

The results, unsurprisingly, were brilliant.

#BeingIrishMeans…

Unpronouncable first names

Having strange tea-making rituals

Never being able to serve tea to visitors without the obligatory kilo of biscuits

Taking strange pride in our ability to complain

Always saying thanks to the bus driver, unless they've committed a cardinal sin

Never being without someone to talk to

Ah, it's good to be Irish!

RTÉ have cancelled their plans to run an Irish Strictly Come Dancing due to lack of funds to support the show.

As we all know the BBC's Strictly is one of the most popular shows on TV in the past few years, but RTÉ doesn't have the budget to make it as good as its counterpart.

According to the Irish Sun: “Strictly is an award-winning international format with electric dance routines,” said an insider.

“It’s not a show you can cut back on costs.”

BBC bosses were concerned that another version of Strictly so close to the English version wouldn't work as it would be difficult to find celebrities in Ireland that can dance.

“It’s not just the production values, it’s finding celebrities who can dance in Ireland. The UK is so big, it’s no prolem there, but you’d struggle to find enough well-known faces who can dance in Ireland.”

Well, we were excited there for a moment, but we guess we can't have everything!

A children's beauty pageant has invited Katie Price's daughter, Princess, to take part in the competition – and it looks like she might accept.

The 8-year-year in being lined up for the Toddlers and Tiara's type pageant which is to be held in either Dublin or Cork.

Katie's daughter recently came under fire for wearing make-up and sharing the picture on social media, but Katie insists that it's her decision if she wants to put on lipstick or not.

The Irish competition is going to be held by an American company, Universal Royalty Beauty Pageant, and the show's host seems to think it would be the best idea for Princess to accept the invite.

“I know Katie’s daughter has been invited to go to another pageant in the US… But she doesn’t need to go to all that trouble and expense, because I’ll be bringing America to Ireland,” Annette Hill told Goss.

Katie will certainly be an interesting show mom.

It seems that Jeremy Clarkson has backed down off his high horse and has apologised to the Irish Top Gear producer who he punched last year.

Oisin Tymon launched legal action against Jeremy and the BBC after the car fanatic punched him and left him with a bloody lip last March.

Mr Clarkson allegedly completely lost his temper when he was told he couldn't order a sirloin steak after a day of filming. He then proceeded to call Oisin a "lazy, Irish c***" while they were at their hotel.

But today, Mr Tymon's lawyers have revealed that the case has been settled and Jeremy paid the producer £100,000 (€126,000).

Jeremy has now issued a statement via his law firm: "I would like to say sorry , once again, to Oisin Tymon for the incident and its regrettable aftermath.

"I want to reiterate that none of this was in any way his fault. I would also like to make it clear that the abuse he has suffered since the incident is unwarranted and I am sorry too that he has had to go through that.

"I am pleased that this matter is now resolved. Oisin was always a creatively exciting part of Top Gear and I wish him every success with his future projects."

Jeremy reportedly tried to apologise to Oisin before, and last June he tweeted that he was "so sad and sorry it's ended like this" after his last Top Gear show with James and Richard aired.

Two of our absolute FAVE Irish presenters are coming back for a reboot of Robot Wars.

Dara O Briain and Angela Scanlon have been announced as the new presenters for the BBC2 show.

The bubbly pair will be filming in a new purpose-built arena in Glasgow which will see them get up close and personal with the teams and of course, the robots.

Speaking about the show, it was clear that Dara is excited to be a part of it.

“I am thrilled to be presenting Robot Wars,” Dara said.

“For too long, the schedules have cried out for a show in which dedicated amateurs, toiling day and night, handcraft sophisticated automatons built on the delicate interplay of hand-wired servo motors with custom-built circuit boards and fingertip motion control," he told VIP.

“Just to see them get smashed to pieces by a dustbin carrying a massive hammer. It’s war, and how I love it so."

Angela also seemed thrilled to be joining the reboot of the popular show.

“I’m so excited to be joining such a legendary show that, after all this time, still manages to make people squeal with joy,” she said.

“I cannot wait to see the robots in all their metallic glory playfully destroying each other!”

And we can't wait either.
