The glitz. The glamour. The grime.
Another thing that occured to me while watching the news last night was just how crappy O’Connell St is as a place to hold a star-studded movie premiere. The buses going by; the red carpet stretching across the chewing gum-filled pavement; the street lit up by the front of Dr Quirkey’s.
I could have sworn that Hilary Swank was trying to kick the Big Mac wrappers away from her legs while she was being interviewed. Although, she loves Ireland and loves Guinness. How refreshing for a foreign star to come here and speak so candidly of us, and with so few clichés too.
I think it’s very brave that an obvious hermaphrodite would choose to live their life in the public eye.

Comment by Shane | December 20, 2007 at 5:32 pmShe makes my skin crawl. Seriously.
Comment by Twenty Major | December 20, 2007 at 7:10 pmWas she that cheerleader from Long Island we all heard about in Friends?
Comment by Dan Sullivan | December 21, 2007 at 1:02 amHave you ever been to Hollywood? O’Connell St. is the Champs Elysee compared.
Comment by markg | December 21, 2007 at 12:26 pmSteve Finnan is left out of the Liverpool squad to play Chelsea while Hilary Swank turns up to a premiere in Dublin. Coincidence? I think not.
Comment by Brock Landers | December 21, 2007 at 1:35 pmMarkg - No, I haven’t, and I actually once avoided the opportunity to go there so I could spend an extra day in San Francisco. But I’d still rather go to a premiere there than O’Connell St. What about you. ever stepped out of a limo in Hollywood and into the glare of flashbulbs?
Brock - Strangest theory of the year. Well done.
