Rihanna is being sued by her former Irish bodyguard.

The Rude Boy singer is being sued for defamation by her former head of security, after allegedly sending an “untrue” and damaging email to him and his wife.

Dublin-based Geoffrey Keating claims the pop star made ”nauseatingly offensive” and false statements about him in an email sent to him and his wife last July.

Mr Keating also claims the star used the same defamatory allegations in a telephone call to his sister.

Mr Keating, who worked for Rihanna on her Diamonds tour between October 2012 and July 2013, claims the comments have tarnished his reputation and damaged the future of his business.

He is seeking damages against the singer and he also wants her to publish a correction of the alleged defamation.

Mr Keating’s solicitor Gerald Kean, was granted permission yesterday to serve the singer with the legal papers at her New York home.

Anna Nolan, presenter of The Great Irish Bake Off, officially opened Dublin’s second Natural Bakery store in Donnybrook yesterday.

The Natural Bakery opened its first store in Kilmainham and third will soon open in Rathmines.

A state of the art bakery is located on site in the Donnybrook store and the company boasts a highly skilled team of bakers.

Breads from all over the world will be available, from the Irish brown and white soda, French baguettes and Pain de Champagne and Poland’s Roogalla as well as a wide range of delicious cakes and pastries.

Owner of The Natural Bakery, Luke Creighton, spoke about his delight at the opening of the new store: “When we opened our first store in Kilmainham we never imagined that we would see queues of people outside the store waiting to buy our products. I feel very confident that this shop in Donnybrook and indeed the shop we will be opening next month in Rathmines will also be a hit. We are creating jobs and in my opinion we are also creating some of the best breads and pastries in the city.”

It looks like Daniel Craig will be setting up home on the emerald isle, for a while at least.

The 007 star and his wife, Rachel Weisz, are looking to temporarily move to Ireland while Rachel films her latest movie The Lobster here. Production is to begin in Kerry but the couple will base themselves in the capital.

The English actor has already been on the lookout for a new pad and according to an insider, the couple “got in touch with the estate agent as early as last December to look for properties that match their criteria”.

Apparently, Daniel and Rachel are looking at homes in south of the city, in particular Dun Laoghaire, because “it’s by the seaside and out of the city centre, yet close enough if they want to get to the airport.”

The duo would want to get a move on though as Rachel starts filming in March. Weisz will be playing the lead role alongside our very own Colin Farrell.

Here are four things you just have to do on our beautiful green island:

Cruise down the River Shannon
Being the longest river in Ireland means it is fantastic for cruising down. Rent a boat and grab some friends – you’ll have the time of your life.

The Wild Atlantic Way road trip
The Wild Atlantic Way is a 2,400km road trip that takes you from Co. Donegal to Co. Cork via unspoilt villages, rugged coastline and incredible views. You will truly see what incredible things the West has to offer.

Visit Fungie in Co. Kerry
If you haven’t already made a trip to see Ireland’s most famous dolphin, now is the time. However, there is more to Kerry than Fungie; Dingle is a lively place with plenty of pubs, shops and restaurants.

The Dublin Literary Pub Crawl, Co. Dublin (obviously!)
This is one of the capitals most famous pub crawls and is a must if you ever find yourself wandering the street of Baile Atha Cliath. It takes about two and a half hours to complete and you will hit at least four pubs along the route.
