When it comes to interviews, the ladies of Little Mix rarely play by the rules.

If they're not pranking their interviewer, they're ripping the question sheet out of their host's hands as they did during a recent interview Down Under.

While chatting to radio hosts, Wippa and Fitzy, during their Aussie promo trip, Jade and Perrie were faced with a question about their band mate Jesy Nelson which they weren't happy answering.

With reports swirling that Jesy and her fiancé Jake Roche had called time on their relationship, it's no surprise that the hosts decided to venture down that line of questioning, but they didn't get too far before Jade and Perrie put a halt to it.

After being asked why Jesy had been spotted without her engagement ring in recent weeks, Jade responded: "That's rude, that."

Chiming in, Perrie added: "That is brutal. You just came out with that! Jeez! Next question, sir!"

And just in case they hadn't made their feelings clear, Jade ensured they wouldn't be able to pose any more awkward questions….

Most of us would have to work up the courage to approach our idol and request a photo, so if we did manage it we'd be feeling pretty damn mortified if we later saw that they had cropped us out of the image.

Considering this, it's no surprise that Twitter his currently in love with 18-year-old Erin Safran who fell victim to Conor McGregor's photoshopping skills recently.

After bumping into the Dublin sport star on a New York city street, Erin and her brother asked for a quick pic and were thrilled when Conor was only too happy to oblige.

 

Three legends.

Erin then did what an upstanding millennial would do and splashed that snap all over social media before tagging her new BFF on Instagram… who then cropped her out of the photo.

And yep, that sound you hear is the internet cracking up.

Instead of resigning the moment to the annals of personal mortification, Erin took to Twitter to own the humiliation.

And Twitter absolutely love her for it.

Sharing a splitscreen of the original snap alongside the new version, Erin wrote: "If you're having a bad day, just remember @TheNotoriousMMA cropped me out of our photo."

"OMG! Connor McGregor is just heartless!' responded one Twitter user. "If he could do that to you then he would do that to any one of us!"

She's right, you know.

While we know they have a string of stylists and make-up artists at their service, most of us still assume that the vast majority of supermodels are a dab hand when it comes to all things beauty-related.

We mean… look at them.

But it turns out we were a little off the mark on this one if Gigi Hadid's recent comments are anything to go by.

Speaking to W magazine, the 21-year-old, who has walked for the likes of Victoria's Secret and Tommy Hilfiger, admits that when it comes to cosmetics, she could take them or leave them.

"I wish I had the energy to do full makeup," she said.

"Honestly, like there are people that I'm even friends with that are full beauty, outfits, everything, looks every single day. And I wish I had that energy. I just don't."

Acknowledging that her association with Maybelline means she might need to shake up her attitude, she added: "Since I became the face of Maybelline, I'm trying to be more adventurous I'd say. Especially on the red carpet and stuff, I'm trying to spice it up."

Red carpets aside, Gigi generally keeps it pretty simple when it comes to her face, saying: "I always have nude lipstick with me just cos I feel like even if you have no makeup on, a nude lip is always cool."

So, she barely wears make-up and still looks like that? How is that fair?

Even though we knew their relationship was totally dysfunctional at times, we couldn't help but be won over by the unlikely pairing that was Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick.

As part of one of the biggest reality shows on the planet, Kourtney and Scott were hella entertaining, and we always hoped they'd reunite after calling time on their relationship shortly after the birth of their third child.

And thankfully, it looks like all the hoping and wishing has paid off.

According to HollywoodLife, the reality star couple have decided to give their relationship another chance in the hopes that it will work this time around.

Speaking to the website, a source close to the family said: "Kourtney and Scott have never been able to stay away from each other for a long period of time."

"This whole time they’ve been broken up he’s been texting her and calling her to tell her he’s still in love with her," the source revealed.

Unsurprisingly, Kourtney was reluctant to dive back in, with the inside adding: "He's hurt her so many that that she wanted to believe she was done with him or god, but the truth is she's still in love with him too."

Right now, they're trying things out, but Kourtney is insisting on taking things slowly and making sure Scott can behave himself."

Well, that's put a serious pep in our Monday step.

Just days after McDonalds announced they would be adding a Nutella burger to their menu, the folk behind Ronald’s everlasting smile have gone one further.

In addition to your standard McDonald’s staples, Irish customers will now have the opportunity to tuck into the Signature Collection which was created by the company’s team of food specialists and its prestigious Chefs’ Council.

The premium range, which features a thick cut burger served on a brioche bun comes in three flavours– Classic, Spicy and BBQ – and is the result of  experience harnessed from Michelin-starred restaurants and the company’s own supplier network… if you don’t mind.

And while yes, the notions know no bounds, we’d be lying if we said weren’t intrigued.

Oh, and if that wasn’t enough, your Signature Collection burger will be hand delivered if you opt to make use of the chain’s new Table Service feature.

That’s right ladies, you can now get your munch dropped to your table if joining the queue isn’t doing it for you.

What a time to be alive!

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!

When it comes to internet crazes, the Mannequin Challenge was definitely up there with our favourites.

But like all viral fads, they tend to get old pretty quickly.

And just as our interest was beginning to wane every so slightly, a group of guys and gals at a gaf party in Ireland gave the challenge a go, and absolutely nailed it.

Uploaded to Facebook by Franky Harte, the two-minute video shows dozens of party-goers frozen in action as the camera makes its way through the crowded house.

The footage has been viewed more than 22,000 times since its upload yesterday, and we're only responsible for about 2,000.

Take a bow, lads and ladies.

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.

After recently teasing fans and followers with sneak peeks of his latest video, John Legend officially released it over the weekend, and YouTube is struggling to cope right now.

Featuring his wife Chrissy Teigen and baby daughter Luna, the video for Love Me Now has given everyone a major case of the feels.

Acknowledging the timing of the video's release, 37-year-old John told Instagram users: "We didn't think about the election when we planned the release date for this song and video. But in this time of conflict and uncertainty, it's clear that we all need more love."

"I find it in my family and in my music. Embracing my family has made today full of love and light despite the bad new," he said in reference to Donald Trump's win in the presidential election.

"But it's also important that we show love and empathy to people who may not look like us or live like us. Those who are marginalised and rejected, feared and left behind."

 

It's been quite a time for the United States and the rest of the world as we all watched the election results come in early Wednesday morning. Some of us wept for our country. Some of us celebrated. Some of us are already taking to the streets in protest. You all know how I wanted and expected the election to go. I wanted us to choose unity and inclusion over building walls and singling out ethnic and religious groups for hate and suspicion. I wanted us to choose progress over yearning for some long-lost mythical era when America was supposedly greatest. I wanted us to destroy the highest glass ceiling instead of electing an admitted sexual assaulter. But we did not. These are the election results and all of us will have to learn to deal with it. I will not give up though. I will continue to be aware and vigilant. I will continue to speak out for justice. We didn't think about the election when we planned the release date for this song and video. But in this time of conflict and uncertainty, it's clear that we all need more love. I find it in my family and in my music. Embracing my family has made today full of love and light despite the bad news. But it's also important that we show love and empathy to people who may not look like us or live like us. Those who are marginalized and rejected, feared and left behind. The video premieres Friday and features a diverse group of people from all over the world. From Standing Rock to Iraq, from Orlando to the DR. Love is universal. We all need it. We all can give it. And it will ultimately win over hate. I have to believe that. If you want to join in our celebration of love, use the hashtag #lovemenow and send us a picture of you and someone you care about.

Explaining the reasoning behind the latest track from his fifth studio album, he added: "Love is universal. We all need it. We all can give it. And it will ultimately win over hate. I have to believe that."

YouTubers wasted no time checking out the vid, with one writing: "This was so beautiful I'm tearing UP."

"Yeah, a light in the midst of political chaos," responded another.

We're just one day into the latest series of I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here, and Twitter already has their money on Gogglebox star, Scarlett Moffatt, walking away with the crown.

It looks like the 25-year-old, who rose to fame for her witty one-liners on the Channel 4 show, has already won over the vast majority of I'm a Celeb viewers if the public's reaction on social media is anything to go by.

Scarlett, who recently revealed exactly how she prepped for her time in the jungle, looks like a firm favourite to win after making a dramatic entrance into the camp alongside Gavin and Stacey star, Larry Lamb.

And the viewing public fell in love with her all over again.
