We’re surprised by this. While Elle MacPherson is a hugely famous supermodel, people will still always remember her as Janine the dancer on Friends. Janine comes into the show as Joey’s roommate before becoming his girlfriend. Arguably some of the best episodes of the show included her character, (The One with the Routine is definitely […]

This is brilliant. Emma Watson has been long known for her activism for gender equality, she is a global goodwill ambassador for the UN. She has gained a lot of respect over the course of her career for using her status to promote important messages. Recently a controversial columnist for the Sun wrote that he […]

It’s a bit of a mixed message. These days companies are trying hard to be relateable, influential and groundbreaking. When it works, it can be powerful, but a lot of the time, they miss the boat. Wrangler jeans is a perfect example of this. They launched an attempt at a body confidence campaign which uses […]

We’re packing our bags. We’ve all been obsessed with unicorns at some point in our lives, whether it was as a kid while playing with our my little ponies or as teenagers watching Harry Potter, or even now as adults (and that’s okay!). If you love the mythical creatures you’re not alone because there is […]

People aren’t happy about it. Sunday night’s 6 chair challenge was as controversial as ever, with Sharon making the decision of who to bring to judges houses in the overs category. The final 6 were chosen by Sharon and after some seat swapping Samantha Atkinson, James Wilson, Relley C, Christopher Peyton, Janet Grogan and Ivy Grace […]

Cheeky but effective. Since the news broke that Brad and Angelina were no more, it’s hard to find someone who hasn’t heard about it. While rumours fly around about why they split up and other names get dragged into the mix, one company has found a way to use the divorce to ruthlessly sell their […]

Ridiculous. Emma Watson is and always will be very well-known for her role as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films. However, she has since gone on to prove herself in other acting roles, and outside of the film industry. She is also admired by many for her activism, in feminism and education. In 2014, Emma became […]

The actor supports the cause. Today, the number of people who showed up to support March for Choice was overwhelming. There is strength in numbers, and after today hopefully people won’t feel alone in their struggles with the 8th amendment. Thousand’s of people showed up today despite the less that perfect weather. Several well-known people […]

Fingers crossed. There has been a lot of news surrounding The Great British Bake Off as of late. First, we heard the show was moving to Channel 4, then presenters Mel and Sue announced their departure. And although people already felt the show wouldn’t be the same, Mary Berry announced that she was leaving which […]

Nooo. The bestselling book The Fault in Our Stars was written almost five years ago, and while it was very popular while it was first released, the feature film which followed it saw it become a firm favourite among young people every where. The author of the book, John Green, was relatively well known before […]

We’re very surprised by this. It seems that the vast majority of young people are not happy with their image and would like to be thinner or fitter. Sadly the methods people are using to obtain their idea of a good figure is not always healthy, from detox teas to quick fix diets. However, professionals […]

This one is accurate. This week Donald Trump Jr. shared a horrifically offensive tweet with an image which compared Syrian refugees to tainted skittles. The image, even for a member of the Trump family, shocked a lot of people. This image says it all. Let's end the politically correct agenda that doesn't put America first. […]

This story posted to Reddit has highlighted a very real problem when it comes to consent. There has been a lot of talk about consent and sexual safety in recent months, more so than ever before.

We love it! Penny and Leonard have been on and off for 9 seasons so it’s great to see them finally tie the knot (again) in the opening episode of season 10. The show aired on Monday night in the US and has not yet returned to our screens, but we still managed to get […]

This is pretty ridiculous. H&M is one of our favourite places to shop, from basics to statement pieces the shop has it all. But lately people have noticed something different about the shop that doesn’t seem fair. The shop has recently expanded to sell homeware and beauty but it means that another vital section has […]

Amazing. This is one of those things you never thought you wanted to do until you found out it was a thing. Our favourite sea sponge Spongebob Squarepants had a pretty random home considering he lives under the sea. But his pineapple abode always looked pretty cosy.

Finally some good news. There is nothing worse than calculating how much money you’re going to make at the end of a month only to get a paycheck with a considerably smaller number on it. No one likes tax, from PRSI to PAYE it’s horrible to see money being deducted from your payslip. But we […]

Are you dying to see it? Most people have a bit of a love/hate relationship with Disney’s Frozen. While it is a lovely film with a great message, the ‘Frozen fever’ meant a lot of people quickly got very sick of the film and more specifically the songs. A second Frozen film has been on […]

What did you think? The X Factor is no stranger to criticism but this year many people have said that the bosses are trying a little too hard to get people’s attention with stages scenes and auditions.
