Remember when choosing a partner for a primary school tour was one of the biggest moments of the academic year?

You want to go with her, but she wants to go with someone else, but she promised and now you're going to have to call in a favour.

Well, it turns out schoolyard etiquette is no different to the world of celebrity as an MTV exec recently revealed when discussing the seating plan for the upcoming Video Music Awards.

According to those in the know, Hollywood's biggest and brightest are given the opportunity to request the artist they would like to share an arm rest with on the big night, and it sounds like Taylor Swift causes serious headaches for party planners.

Commenting on the confusion that arises as a result of this custom, MTV Vice President Gina Esposito explained that the Bad Blood singer is so popular that fellow celebs are chomping at the bit to cosy up with the star.

"She has so many good friends, and it was hard to figure out the ‘Taylor’ of it all in past years because so many people were requesting to sit by her and sit with her," Gina explained.

Reflecting on previous award shows, Gina said of Tay: "She’s often really requested."

Something tells us that that mightn't be the case this year…

Like the Irish weather, the guy who fell over on the ice and the kid who played What’s Snots on The Den, the Rose of Tralee is something we, as a nation, are allowed to make fun of.

Hell, it’s practically our duty.

Yet despite our supposed disdain for the long-running contest, a staggering 1.7 million of us chose to tune and get our fix of the action this week.

And an astounding three-quarters of a million witnessed the moment a stunned Chicago Rose, Maggie McEldowney, took her place in Rose of Tralee history after being crowned winner at the 58th annual event.

Oh, and it wasn’t just the people at home in Ireland keen to hear the Sydney Rose’s views on the 8th Amendment or the German Rose's take on Lil Wayne either.

With 115,000 total worldwide streams, the popularity of the contest is ever-increasing.

Acknowledging the changing tide, host Dáithí Ó Sé said: “It’s been another fantastic year at the Rose of Tralee. This is my seventh year hosting and each year it just seems to get better.”

Since Monday there have been over 55,400 Twitter mentions – a figure which undoubtedly helped make this year’s contest was one of the highest rating programmes of 2016.

Commenting on the show’s success, RTÉ’s executive producer, Brian Páircéir, said: “With 1.7million viewers tuning in over the two days to watch the Rose of Tralee it just proves once again just how popular it is with people watching at home.”

Make no mistake – you'll be watching again next year, and you know it.

She became a mum to Josey Hollis Dorsey in September 2015, but this was not Naya Rivera's first pregnancy.

Opening up in her memoir, Sorry Not Sorry, the Glee actress reveals that upon learning she was expecting Ryan Dorsey's child back in 2010, the actress chose to terminate the pregnancy.

While now happily married to Ryan, the actress had, at the time, just ended their relationship and made the decision to seek an abortion without telling Ryan of her pregnancy.

In an incredibly revealing excerpt of her book, 29-year-old Naya reflects on the termination –  which took place a day before filming an episode of the show – and explains that she chose to reveal her decision in an attempt to support other women.

Speaking to People magazine in the run-up to the book's release, she said: "It was very scary to open up about everything, It's not something a lot of people talk about, but I think they should."

"I know some people might read it and say, 'What the Hell?' But I hope someone out there gets something out of it," she added.

Naya, who played Santana Lopez in the hit musical show, married Ryan in 2014 before welcoming their son a year later.

He may have said he hopes to put a ring on Marnie's finger in the next five years, but that hasn't stopped Celebrity Big Brother viewers from questioning the authenticity of Lewis Bloor and Marnie Simpson's relationship.

Along with Stephen Bear and Chloe Khan, Lewis and Marnie became the subject of intense speculation as fellow housemates and CBB fans suggested that the couple's affection came down to nothing more than a desire to boost their own profiles.

But, according to Marnie's mum Sharon Kinney, that couldn't be further from the truth.

While appearing on Celebrity Big Brother’s Bit On the Side, the Geordie Shore star's mum insisted that her daughter's relationship with Lewis was genuine, saying: "She’s just gone with her feelings."

"Marnie is a very strong, independent woman. With Lewis, she just went into that house with an open heart and she met someone who she has a connection with," Sharon continued.

In addition to defending the authenticity of the romance, Sharon dismissed notions that her daughter was overshadowed by the TOWIE star, saying: "I wouldn’t agree with that at all."

Lewis recently acknowledged the public's scepticism, saying: "I understand how people will look at it, it is very crazy but yeah she is great and I can't wait to see her."

And yet despite Sharon and Lewis' claims, BFF Charlotte Crosby doesn't see a future for the couple, telling New! magazine: "I don't see anything materialising with them on the outside. I don't think Marnie's suited to him."

In the words of Justin Bobby, truth and time tell all…

Any Friends fan will know that an over-the-top “OH. MY. GAAWWD” from Janice was always a sign that hilarious antics were to follow, but who is Janice in real life and what does she actually sound like?

Well – as a new interview with This Morning has revealed – Chandler Bing’s on-off lover was played by an actress named Maggie Wheeler and Maggie Wheeler sounds NOTHING like her on-screen persona Janice Litman Goralnik.

Sitting with Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes on the British TV show, the actress opened the segment with Janice’s famous “Oh. My. God” catchphrase, something which she says she “never” tires of doing.

During the interview, Maggie – who actually possesses a very smooth voice in real life – explained how the character of Janice developed throughout her time on the famous sit-com.

She said: “The laugh happened organically in the first rehearsal, because I needed to find a way to laugh, because Matthew Perry is so funny.”

“I thought, ‘This guy’s gonna make me laugh on set, I've gotta be prepared.  What am I going to do?’  So I created Janice’s laugh just as a safety measure for when Matthew made me laugh.”

Maggie also revealed how she came to the show for one episode as part of a “one shot deal” and how happy she was when the writers consistently chose to bring back her beloved character.

With all the laughs she’s given us over the years, we couldn’t imagine Friends without Janice.

We all know that the most recent series of Celebrity Big Brother has been hailed the most explosive of its run, but is that purely down to the housemates' antics or is it actually the very clever editing tricks of the show's producers?

According to emerging reports, CBB bosses have been slammed by fans for concealing certain incidents in the house which may have turned viewers against the show's biggest heavy-hitters.

With Ex on the Beach star, Stephen Bear, constantly grabbing headlines for his on-screen antics with Chloe Khan, viewers are now questioning why they weren't informed of various warnings he got throughout the show which may have led to his eviction.

And it looks like Sam Fox's recent eviction interview may be to thank for the backlash against producers.

According to the former popstar, 26-year-old Bear received a staggering four warnings in one day, and even played a prank on Sam which ultimately resulted in her requiring medical attention.

"What he did, he said “I know this really good magic trick, you’ve got to look into this water bottle," Sam explained. "I said, ‘please promise me this water’s not going to go anywhere’. "

"Well straight away, he squeezed it, the contact lens went to the back of my eye, I had to see the medic, get that out, wear an eyepatch for half a day," she revealed.

Viewers are accusing Celebrity Big Brother bosses of editing out Bear's worst bits in order to ensure the show's ratings –  a claim which was backed up a show's source."

"Bear is constantly breaching the rules and the other housemates are complaining," the insider revealed. "No celeb would normally get away with this.

Hmm, sounds like they have some explaining to do.

These days, James Corden is one of the most recognisable faces in the industry.

And while he may seem like an overnight success to many, James has actually been plugging away at his TV career for more than two decades.

Long before he hit it big Stateside with The Late Late Show, the British star was honing his interviewing skills in the UK, and cut his teeth with none other than rock legend Meatloaf.

And in honour of James' 38th birthday, BBC last night released footage of a teenage James shooting the breeze with the I'd Do Anything For Love singer all the way back in 1995.

Looking ever so slightly awe-struck, a 17-year-old James, rocking classic 90s attire, chatted with Meatloaf over an English breakfast, and in fairness to him, he did a lot better than we would have fresh out of secondary school.

Ladies, this is beyond cute.

The Cavan Rose got some land when her segment during the first night of the Rose of Tralee pageant was interrupted by a fairly irate-looking priest intent on stealing her spotlight last night.

Clutching a handwritten sign, Matt O'Connor – not a priest but the founder of Fathers4Justice – tried to raise awareness of his organisation, before being escorted off-stage in front of a stunned audience.

Defending his decision to interrupt both the televised event and Lisa Reilly's interview with Dáithí O' Shea, Matt told Radio Kerry: "Lets put it in context – it's a beauty pageant, not somebody's holy communion."

"I was told – and I hope it's the case – that she carried on, the show carried on…and fair play to her," Matt said. "It's disconcerting, but let's remember this was a peaceful protest, it was nothing more dramatic than that, a couple of seconds on television, let's put it in that context."

Revealing that last night's protest only signalled the beginning, Matt continued: "The contest itself – the Rose of Tralee – has widely been panned as being a sexist and outdated beauty pageant; but it's an issue that we thought needed to be aired and it's the first of many protests we're going to be staging across Ireland."

Standing by his approach, Matt added: "That right to protest is actually enshrined in law. We have a right to peaceful protest, this was a peaceful protest."

And while it may be considered peaceful, Matt's decision left the Cavan Rose feeling more than a little rattled.

Commenting on the moment which – along with the Sydney Rose's impassioned speech – has been doing the rounds on Twitter today, Lisa said: "I was very, very close to bursting out crying."

"Dáithí gave me a bit of a squeeze," she continued. "Then everyone started to stand up for an ovation, especially the escorts and the Roses."

"It was the first time in eight years a Cavan Rose was in the Rose of Tralee so I wasn't going to let people down," she insisted.

Their friendship in the Celebrity Big Brother house definitely had its ups and downs, but if Megan McKenna's latest column is anything to go by, she can officially draw the line under any relationship she ever had with Stephanie Davis.

Writing for Reveal magazine, Megan weighed in on the drama surrounding Steph and her ex-boyfriend and former housemate, Jeremy McConnell, in a move which isn't going to win her any fans from Steph's camp.

Acknowledging that she's laying herself bare to criticism, Megan insisted: "There’s always two sides to every story."

"I don’t agree with Jez cheating before he knew Steph was pregnant, but people have forgotten that she cheated first, on her ex-boyfriend with Jez… in front of the entire nation," Megan continued.

The 23-year-old reality star then attempted to highlight Jeremy's perspective on the matter, writing: "Everyone’s feeling sorry for Steph because she’s pregnant and putting on the waterworks, but I don’t agree with bringing up a baby in a toxic relationship, that’s what Jez’s point is."

The former Ex on the Beach star sounded fairly certain that the Dubliner would take responsibility in the long run, continuing: "I fully believe he’ll support that child and be there for it, he just doesn’t want to be in a relationship with her."

"It’s both of their responsibilities, but why dish your dirt out all over the place, like Steph has?" Megan asked.

In a message to her former housemate, Megan, who now stars in TOWIE, suggested Steph change her attitude, finishing: "Instead, focus on yourself and your baby, rather than cashing in from bad-mouthing him."

Well, that's gonna go down like a led balloon in the Steph camp.

Nude shots with strategically-placed items we can get on board with, but nude shots with strategically-placed teddy bears? No, thanks.

And it looks like Instagram is with us on that one.

After uploading a shot of himself covering his modesty with a soft toy last week, Made in Chelsea's Jamie Laing didn't quite get the response he was expecting.
 

 

Teddy Bears Picnic

In response to the image which Jamie captioned 'Teddy Bears Picnic', fans found themselves a little baffled, and wasted no time telling Jamie as much.

"Ew, ew, ew," wrote one while another slammed a friend for drawing her attention to the snap, writing: "Oh god why did you have to tag me in this?"

And his girlfriend, Frankie Gaff, who recently joined the MIC line-up. didn't fare much better when she shared another last night.

A week on from the initial negative response, it looks like Frankie thought she might have a little better luck, but no dice this time around either.

"Not sexy at all!" commented one Instagram user while another ignored Jamie's creepy teddy and asked Frankie: "Is he still cheating on your arse?"

Whether it's Jamie's dazed expression, his perma-tan or the disturbing use of a teddy bear, people just aren't feeling it.

Guys, it may be time to admit defeat with this selection of snaps.

Die-hard X Factor fans were left stunned when Louis Walsh was dropped from the judging panel, but it seems no one was as put out by the show's new set-up than the Mayo-native himself.

According to Simon Cowell, the Irish music mogul took serious issue with the show during his absence, and didn't hold back when telling Simon exactly what he thought.

Setting the scene for the public, Simon explained that once the clock would strike 2am, he knew he'd be in for a world of earache.

"But honest to god, it was a weekly call," Simon admitted. "It would start about two in the morning and I'd be like, 'Oh God, it's Louis again'. I'd put it on speaker, lie down and listen."

"What was so funny was that he used to phone me every week," Simon recently revealed. 

"I'd get an hour where he would scream down the phone and I'd be like, 'Well, stop watching. I can't help it, it's not my fault if you don't like it anymore."

And unlike most of us who might delete the Mayo man from our palm pilot, Simon got a kick out of Louis' reaction and can't wait to have him back on the show.

"He was passionate, he missed the old show and I liked seeing that side of Louis," Simon explained.

"Sometimes he can get a little bit passive, but this was the Louis I have always known as a manager, he's got a big mouth, he's outspoken and critical, but that's what I love about him," he added.

We wonder how long it will be before he utters the classic "But Westlife, Simon" remark on this year's show.

It's that time of year again, ladies.

Roses line up, mammies cry, escorts look awkward… and Twitter goes into total meltdown.

Taking to the website in their droves since last night, members of the public shared their thoughts on the long-running pageant, and it is, unsurprisingly, a mixed bag.

From tongue-in-cheek remarks on the appearance of an angry priest to heartfelt tributes to this year's Sydney Rose, when it came to this year's Kerry-based event, we definitely didn't turn a blind eye.

And here are just some of your thoughts.

1. She has a point.

2. Yep, sounds about right.

3. "They all have lovely bottoms"

4. This guy.

5. This gal.

6. Preach.

7. Too true.

8. "She's worth it"

9. And then there was this…
