What's Hot!

Ahoy there - The Tall Ships are back in Belfast. It's free to see the ships and most of the festival activities. Lidl are hosting the Belfast Titanic Maritime Festival, which includes cookery demonstrations by chefs Dean Coppard and Ian Orr and children can enjoy storytelling and magic tricks. There's funfairs, street theatre, interactive activities and fireworks display. Please visit www.tallshipsbelfast.com

BBQ time - A new survey by Asda has revealed Northern Ireland barbecue lovers are happy to stick to the basics when it comes to al fresco cooking - with 43 per cent of us spending under £20 to host a barbecue for friends. This compares to other parts of the UK where some spend up to £80 on food and drink along, with one in 10 splashing out £90. Enjoy the sunshine.

What's Not!

More surgery - Pop star Jessie J has undergone a second round of surgery to treat her mystery condition. The singer revealed last week she was in hospital recovering from an operation, but would not reveal the nature of her surgery or illness.

Rapper Kanye West reportedly demanded an entire field for 250 members of his crew at Glastonbury Festival at the weekend. He wanted a private area to be built for his entourage, which included wife Kim Kardashian.

Competition winners:

The winners of last week's Sunflowerfest tickets are Danielle Copeland from Saintfield, Evelyn Clare Duffin, from Antrim, Una Jordan from Belfast, Frank Boyle from Down and John Hutton from Bangor.
