Ireland

Last month, Courteney Cox went on an adventure with wildlife expert Bear Grylls.

However, as they made their way through the green grass of Ireland, Bear pointed out that they have to collect their dinner.

Not looking too happy, Courteney asked him what that was, and the adventurer lists out an "Irish menu" for her.

"Birds, if you catch them, worms, lots of, bugs, grubs, insects, flies, crickets, caterpillars."

Courteney didn't seem too happy about the "Irish menu" and said she rather eat grass than any of that stuff.

And to be honest, we don't blame her. Ewwwww.

Jean Bernard Fernandez Versini has certainly had a hectic few months.

Not only did he have a very public split with Cheryl, but he also took a fancy to Irish MIC star Nicola Hughes.

And it seems he has a little crush on the Irish as he wants to open his next restaurant in Dublin.

An insider close to the star said: “JB has been working on his restaurant project in London which is going to be huge, the next logical move is Ireland.

“JB has always wanted to see Ireland, he’s always thought the country is so beautiful and everyone he has met from Ireland has been lovely and down to earth – that’s really important to him.

“He’s also a huge, huge fan of Conor McGregor so he’s really focused on Ireland at the moment,” the source said.

When we picture Sarah Jessica Parker, it's hard not to picture her as Carrie Bradshaw dominating New York streets in her highest heels but it seems SJP loves spending her down time in Donegal.

 

The 51-year-old actress owns a holiday home with her husband Matthew Broderick in Kilcar Co Donegal and it looks like their son James loves it as much as they do.

The 13-year-old has apparently grown to love the area as well as one other Irish tradition.

 

"My son is 13 and has a certain vanity about his appearance that seems age appropriate. He's interested in soccer and GAA," Sarah told the Irish Sun on Sunday.

 

 

I might do this all day long. Cause I love himsez so. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JW! XXX, Mama

Sarah says that the family, including her son James and her seven-year-old twins Marion and Tabitha all try and get to Ireland as much as possible but unfortunately this year it seems the Donegal town won't see a visit from the A-list family.

 

"We always have a fabulous time in Donegal and I’m sorry we’re not going to be able to make it this year.

 

“It’s one of our happiest places ever, but sadly we have to skip this summer. My in-laws will be visiting instead.”

 

 

SHARE if you'd have any tourist tips for SJP.

While other countries are guaranteed a consistent supply of Vitamin D during the summer months, those of us in Ireland have to wait with fingers crossed for the sun to reveal itself.

So we’re sure you’ll be delighted to hear that this weekend we’re in for some sun.

According to the Independent, Ireland’s temperature will begin to rise today with those in the sunny South East benefitting the most.

Between Sunday and Tuesday temperatures in the west of the country are expected to reach 25 degrees, while the rest of us should be prepared for 21 degrees.

Unfortunately you’ll have to make the most of the weekend sunshine as Mr Sun will be dashing off late on Tuesday, only to be replaced by a thunderstorm.  From there temperatures will drop to around 10 degrees.

Well, you can’t accuse an Irish summer of being boring!

Desperate Housewives was certainly something we all binge-watched growing up. The glamour, the drama… the crazy.

But now, a little bit of that has come to Ireland, in the name of Felicity Huffman.

Yep, the actress touched down on our green shores this week to celebrate her daughter's birthday.

The star took to Twitter to share some pictures of her stay at Ashford Castle, Co Mayo.

She wrote: "This might be the most beautiful place I have ever been to.

My girl is 16 this week and we're off on an adventure."

She also said that she's going to be spending some time in Dublin, so watch out ladies!

It's safe to say PokémonGo has taken over the world in just a few short weeks.

Kids and celebs alike are playing the game, but with 150 different Pokémon to catch, sometimes the chances are slim.

Unless you have the Irish start-up app, Mawla.

The Dublin-made app is after putting together a series of maps in order to help people find their Pokémon.

Explaining how it works, the app's developer Dan Malone said: "We speak directly with the PokémonGo servers.

"We pretend to be an app and to be in a certain location and they say 'oh you're an app, in Stephen's Green! There's x,y,z Pokémon around you!'

"The way I get the coverage of the areas that I have is by creating a grid of overlapping rings an slowly walking out from the centre to a radius I've defined."

Mawla has been rolling out since PokémonGo was released, and so far, Dan said the fans are unbelievable.

"The reception has been incredible, I've had 180,000 visits to my website in one week. It's been great overall."

Anyone who grew up in the noughties will remember JoJo’s Leave (Get Out), but since then little has been heard about the American singer-songwriter.

So we're delighted to learn that the former child star is about to make her long-awaited return to music and that she is only mad to pay our little green island a visit.

In an MTV question and answer session which was streamed through Facebook Live today, JoJo revealed that Ireland is one of the places she would most like to travel to.  She said: “I would love to go to Ireland.  I have a shamrock right here [points to her finger], I have a place in south Boston so I feel I have a connection with Ireland.”

 

The singer – who released her debut album at the age of 12 – has been engaged in a major legal battle with her former record label for almost seven years as she claims Blackground Records caused her career “irreparable damage” by delaying the release of her third album.

When asked to explain the story behind the song I Am, the star replied: “There was a time that I was going through where I was suing my record label for the second time and I wasn’t sure if I was ever going to be able to get out of that situation.  And I was really depressed and I felt like I was really weak.”

“So I went to my therapist and I was saying all these negative things and she called me out on it.  [She explained that] your words have a lot of power and by saying things like ‘I am weak, I am broken, I am tired, I am depressed’ you might stay in that state.”

The therapist encouraged JoJo to write a list of positive ‘I ams’ in a process which eventually inspired the song.  

Since she last released music JoJo has been through a lot as on top of her legal dispute the 25-year-old recently admitted that in the early noughties she was so desperate to lose weight she began injecting herself with supplements while only eating 500 calories a day.

Thankfully she has since returned to a healthy body weight and is releasing her latest album Mad Love this October.

 

Welcome back, JoJo!

When RTE announced yesterday that Ireland will be getting its own version of Dancing with the Stars, people quickly began to speculate that The Voice of Ireland could be getting the chop.

And unfortunately for lovers of the popular talent show, that indeed seems to be the case.

According to The Irish Mirror, The Voice of Ireland will be scrapped after five seasons to make way for the world famous dancing competition.

Channel Controller for RTE One and RTE2 Adrian Lynch said: “After five hugely successful seasons of The Voice of Ireland now is a perfect time to refresh the Sunday evening entertainment slot with one of the world’s best-loved formats.”

“We want to thank everyone involved in The Voice of Ireland for their incredible hard work over the past five years in the making the show such a success.”

The Irish version of Dancing with the Stars will document 11 celebrities as they learn to move like professional ballroom dancers and will air on RTE in early 2017.

It seems that for those of us in a relationship, the last year of every decade in our lives is a major danger-zone when it comes to cheating.

So if you’re 19, or 29 – or more importantly if your partner is – you may want to take heed.

That and the most dangerous age of all for straying is… 39.

The results come from a study of 1,000 people by the somewhat controversial IllicitEncounters.com, a dating website for married people which says it has more than 70,000 Irish members.

It has now revealed it has 18 percent more Irish profiles in years ending in nine than for other years in the decade – suggesting the looming presence of another decade causes concern for some.

IllicitEncounters.com said in a statement today: "Beware of the figure nine – it is the danger age as far affairs are concerned.

"This is applicable to men and women. Both go looking for affairs when they are on the verge of entering a new decade.

"IllicitEncounters.com research shows that some people cheat to get their partner’s attention. If their partner’s a workaholic or unavailable to them, being caught with someone else is a way of saying: ‘Hey, if you love me, pay attention to me!'

"‘Payback cheating’ is also common. If you’ve cheated in the past or done something else to hurt your partner, they might retaliate to get even."

The website added that it sees its subscriptions rise by 25 percent over the summer months.

Plans for the Bank Holiday weekend? Well, you'll be happy to know that you'll be doing them in sunny weather, but as always in Ireland, there's a catch; we might be in for some showers (so pack a brolly).

According to Met Eireann: "While there will be some sunny spells, there'll be a good deal of cloud around this afternoon and evening.

"Highest temperatures of 18 to 20 degrees, in a light to moderate west to northwesterly breeze.

"Showers will then die away to leave a mainly dry night with a mix of cloud and clear spells. Lowest temperatures of 9 to 11 degrees in just mainly light northwesterly breezes.

"Tomorrow, Sunday, will be dry during the morning with a mix of cloud and some sunshine.

"A lot of dry weather too for the afternoon and evening, with some sunshine, but there will be a scattering of showers too, these mostly light though.

"Highest temperatures of 18 or 19 degrees in a mostly moderate westerly breeze."

Delighted! Enjoy the Bank Holiday, guys!

Last night, Shay Given announced that he is retiring from international football.

The 40-year-old goalkeeper took to Twitter to thank his fans and team-mates for all of their undying support over the years.

He wrote: “I’m one of the lucky ones who got to wear the jersey for his country and wore the badge with pride 134 times.

"But now it's time to hang up the gloves and move from the onion bag to the terraces, where I'll be shouting the lads on as one of Ireland's biggest fans."

He finished with: "Couldn't have done it without you."

With a very emotional goodbye, his fans flocked to Twitter to wish him the best:

One thing that stops many of us from going on a night out is the cost.

In college, student bars and low drink offers meant we could party all night for twenty quid and arrive home safe, but now, along with a taxi to and from the bar, OUTRAGEOUS alcohol prices (I paid nearly €12 for a drink the other night) and an entrance fee, nights out are very, very expensive.

However, now the Drinks Industry Group of Ireland (DIGI) are looking to lower the excise of alcohol in Ireland by 15 percent.

The lobby group are calling for the reduction in the next budget. In DIGI's pre-budget plan, it says that excise is a "direct tax on tourism and that a reduction would support the drinks and hospitality industry, boosting economic growth."

It also pointed out that since Brexit has made the sterling pound vastly drop, it will give an immediate boost to buying alcohol over the boarder.

DIGI's chairwoman, Maggie Timoney said: "An alcohol excise reduction is a vital response to the new and immediate effect of the uncertainty caused by Brexit.

"Alcohol tax is a regressive and inequitable tax and ours is very high by EU standards. We believe that the particularly high Irish excise tax is detrimental to economic growth and economic activity.

"We would urge the Government to reduce excise by 15 percent in October's budget," Maggie added.
