LOTTIE Ryan (right) was born to be a rock chick.
It was great to see her smile as she stepped out to launch the Summer Blowout gig.
Speaking about what her dad would think Lottie said, "He would be like, 'Rock on, go for it.'"
At a time when it's hard to raise a smile, Lottie's beautiful grin was a sight to lift the heart.
IF YOU dropped Grainne Seoige down a sewer she'd come up smelling of roses.
She's dropped the weight, parted with the husband, and is now prepared for her UK invasion.
The Galway bombshell is due to re-emerge on GMTV with a new, sexed-up image soon, and I'm delighted for her.
The Brits took Terry Wogan, Dara O'Briain and Graham Norton.
It's about time they snapped up some of our female talent.
I THOUGHT it was hilarious when I saw Miriam O'Callaghan's name attached to the 50th Anniversary celebrations of The Pill in Ireland.
I mean honestly, if ever there was a poster girl for not taking the pill, it's mum-of-eight Miriam!
But as always the sassy blonde had plenty to say on the subject and had the guests to the bash at Fallon & Byrne curled up in laughter with her speech, and then silenced by her honesty.
After raising a toast to the pill that allowed Irish Catholic women to enjoy a break from endless childbearing, Miriam jibed, "POST-feminism, my ass, I say!
"Yes, the pill has empowered women. But you see very few women in very high profile jobs.
"Do men sit in their work, thinking, 'Who's picking up my year-old? No.
"Do I sit in my studio thinking, who's picking up my four-year-old?' Yes.
"Nothing has changed, really. We are just doing ten times more work than most men."
Seeing the irony in her fronting an anniversary for the pill, Miriam laughed, "It's a bit ironic in my case because I ended up with eight kids.
"I never set out to saying I wanted eight kids. I had fertility treatment, and I always say that, but it worked very well. I am the best ad for
fertility treatment!"
Amazingly enough, this party coincided with the release of a report that claimed there is a rise in crisis pregnancies for the over 35s.
According to the director Caroline Spillane of the HSE Crisis Pregnancy Agency, "Financial worries, concerns over job security or relationship breakdown can turn an unwanted pregnancy into a crisis."
Like the saying, 'You can lead the horse to water, but you can't make it drink...' I wonder how so many grown women could still land themselves with a unwanted or crisis pregnancy, when there are so many ways to prevent it.
While taking the pill might not make you a high-powered executive within a successful company, it will give you the power to plan your family.
Get the picture, get the pill, and remember to take it everyday ladies!
SINEAD O'Connor is something else. I know she's one of the most beautiful Irish women, but doesn't she have a mystical power over men? It's almost impossible to keep track of her lovers!
Well, best of luck to her this time round. May it be lucky wedding number three with Steve Cooney.
And also congrats to Michelle Heaton and Hugh Hanley on their nuptials this week.
After attending her pal Jordan's second wedding the week, Michelle said 'I do' at a secret beach ceremony in the Bahamas, and from her gushing messages on Facebook, she couldn't sound happier.
It seems like the quickie wedding with no fuss is making a comeback.
