Âåëüâåò: Òóò Äæîíàòàí ñ Ðèíîé õîäèëè íà ñâèäàíèå â Äóáëèíå) Jonathan Rhys Meyers is wisely choosing to stay away from booze. The troubled Irish star was spotted on a hot date at a posh Dublin restaurant, and onlookers say he didn’t touch the sauce. It’s encouraging news, given that the actor has checked into rehab on three separate occasions and arrested twice in alcohol-related charges. Concerns about “The Tudors” star’s drinking problems sparked Showtime studio bosses to order Rhys Meyers to stay clean while filming the latest season of the hit show this summer. The 32-year-old Dubliner decided to obey authority while dining out at the Dublin restaurant Pichet with a mystery blonde bombshell. Rhys Meyers passed up wine offers and chose to sip on lemonade instead. A witness told Ireland’s Herald: "He didn't touch a drop all night – he stuck to the soft drinks the whole night and was overheard telling the waiter that a good friend had recommended Pichet to him." The Irish actor, dressed in his trademark jeans, biker boots and leather jacket, and his date, a petite blonde who was certainly not on-and-off girlfriend of five years Reena Hammer, were seen gazing in each other’s eyes while deep in conversation all night. "She was a stunning blonde and very petite – she looked like a model but was quite timid,” the source said. “He came in a little while later and was the total opposite. He was very gregarious, chatting away the whole time.” Though happy he’s sober, now all Rhys Meyers fans want to know is who was his mystery dinner date? http://www.irishcentral.com/ent/Jonathan-Rhys-Meyers-wisely-stays-away-from-alcohol-on-hot-date-59242867.html

Âåëüâåò: I’ve become massively obsessed with the Tudors recently, and seeing as I have been away, all I can say is thank God for Sky Plus. I watched the two previous series, downloading them on iTunes which cost me an arm and a leg. Incidentally, why on earth have iTunes put the price up from £1.79 to £2.49? Hello? I thought they were trying to encourage people to stop downloading illegally? Making legal downloads more expensive isn’t the best plan! Anyway, the Tudors is awesome. It’s got a kind of glossy American quality to it, but without the cheesiness and the bad acting that you sometimes see. It’s a perfect mix of impressive American production values (cue the American voiceover-‘Previously on the Tudors’) and good old British intelligence, and the result is that the script is clever and subtle rather than obvious and crass, and the acting is generally brilliant. Jonathan Rhys-Meyers is amazing as Henry VIII, playing a slightly different King that you might expect. He’s a good looking, intense guy with a hot temper, rather than a fat bloater. Add model and actor Henry Cavill into the mix, and most of the female viewing public are in danger of fainting (lucky they are sitting on the sofa). So don’t be put off by the ‘historical’ vibe, it’s full of action and sex-its cracking viewing. My advice would be to order the first series pronto. http://www.femalefirst.co.uk/blog/2009/10/jules-knights-blake-blog-2980/

Âåëüâåò: Lauren Conrad’s former boss Kelly Cutrone has a suggestion on who should play her in “The Hills” star upcoming movie – Irish actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers. In Conrad’s book “L.A. Candy,” which is loosely based on the MTV star’s life, the Kelly Cutrone character is the fictional tough-as-nails PR boss Fiona Chen. Now that “L.A. Candy” is being made into a movie, Conrad needs someone to portray the People’s Revolution founder on the big screen. “What about Jonathan Rhys Meyers? That could be really good crossover role for him," Cutrone suggested to MTV News. The fashion icon, who is now featured in “The Hills” spinoff “The City,” has a few runner-ups in mind as well. "They would have to have black hair — they would have to be slightly on the mean side. I would like Cher to play me," she said. "I think that would be really great. She's ageless and she has long black hair and she wears all black and she could be really mean.” Her other choice? Acting vet Anjelica Huston, who was born in Ireland. "Anjelica Huston could play me," Cutrone said. "I mean, I think we should bring back some of the great ones — they're older. They're more established. And they have the ability to be mean.” But in the end, Cher and Jonathan win the casting competition. “I like Cher. I think we should just go with Cher — Jonathan Rhys Meyers or Cher." http://www.irishcentral.com/ent/The-Hills-and-The-City-boss-Kelly-Cutrone-would-cast-Jonathan-Rhys-Meyers-to-play-her-in-LA-Candy-67738812.html
Âåëüâåò: The last time I met Jonathan Rhys Myers in Hollywood was at the Golden Globes in January, where he was nominated for a Globe for Best Actor in the Tudors. He was very far from relaxed the whole evening and ended the night seemingly plastered in a dingy tourist bar on the Sunset Strip. There has been a lot of concern expressed about his well-being since then, after he failed to show up at two different events where he was due to receive awards for his work and it was reported that he had gone into rehab in late February. When I met him in Beverly Hills last week, he looked tanned and healthy, dressed in a mustard coloured leather jacket and white shirt. He let it be known pretty quickly that his disposition towards the Irish media these days is far from friendly. “ I haven’t had a drink in years, not a drop”, he says inhaling deeply on a Marlboro light. So where has he been for the past few months and how did the rehab go? The question irks him. “ I was in Middlesex for the whole period, in the countryside. I did not go into rehab, no, no, no,” he says swigging from a large glass of orange juice. “I was staying in the countryside in Middlesex with my councillor, but we are actually really good friends, so it wasn’t a rehab. I wasn’t doing treatment for alcoholism, I’d done that already. I don’t drink at all.” We are off to such a tense start, I decide there is no point in avoiding the questions that everyone would like answered. If he doesn’t drink, how come he was photographed coming out of an off-license in London last month and also was photographed being held up on the street in LA by Jim Sheridan in January. “ Someone said there were photos of me alright, so I went and looked on the internet and that photo was from six or seven months previously,” he says, arms now folded defensively across his chest. “If I’m not at something, they’ll just print an old photo of me. I go out for a night out once a year or something like that and it just ends up in the newspaper because you’re a celebrity. It’s very hard for the media with actors like me, because I don’t date other actresses and I don’t hang out with movie stars. “ It’s very hard to find stories about me, because I live an incredibly low key life. I think people would like to think I’m a hell of a lot naughtier than I am actually. I am actually quite a boring guy. I spent the last week and a half playing bloody golf. Me, Jonathan Rhys Myers! If anyone saw me in those stupid golf clothes on the golf course, there would have been a different story written!” Since filming of the third season of the Tudors ended last summer, Rhys Myers has been on hiatus, working on a movie, but enjoying a lot of time off. Filming of the fourth season will begin soon and in the meantime, he is enjoying spending time in LA with his three brothers, one of whom also lives here and the others who are visiting from Spain and London. All are musicians who play together in a band called “Suzy’s Field”. “ All actors are frustrated musicians,” laughs the actor who played such a sweet “Elvis” in the CBS series a few years ago, for which he was nominated for a Grammy and a Golden Globe. “ I just felt I needed time off and I didn’t need to go to awards ceremonies,” he says of his non-attendance at the IFTA awards and the Oscar Wilde event in February. “You can get slightly waylaid as an actor doing that sort of thing and I’m never that comfortable at them anyway. But you know what Irish newspapers are like, there are always going to be more aspects on your personal life than your professional life, because you’re an Irish person so they tend to make up or embellish whichever story, trying to sell newspapers.” He refuses to give an example of what he believes was falsely reported about him in the Irish papers, but he quickly makes a parallel with what he says is a co-dependant relationship between the British royal family and British press. “ Royalty is almost exclusively an English art at this point. I mean the money, the revenue that they make, just think of the magazine columns! Prince William or Prince Harry and whatever strumpet they have on their arms that day, millions and millions of pounds.” So how attractive is it for him to be playing an English monarch, as Henry VIII in The Tudors? “ I think the reasons royals are so attractive is, what actor doesn’t want to play the guy sitting on the throne, with everybody looking at them, with those amazing costumes and all those lines,” he laughs, warming up a little. “Actor-royal, royal-acting!” Rhys Myers talent and range have propelled him straight onto the Hollywood A List, alongside Tom Cruise, Scarlett Johannson and Reese Witherspoon. Not yet 32 years old, he has already been in 36 movies and three tv series. Not bad for someone who appears to be battling his private demons and lost who his mother, Geraldine suddenly two years ago, and to whom he had been very close. “ I believe that everything I’ve done up to now has been an apprenticeship. The first phase was where I was allowed to play roles, have successes, have failures, all of this by the time I was 31. That’s the apprenticeship. What I do from 31 to 50 is probably my career, so I probably haven’t even started yet.” What kind of friendship or mentorship has he received from other Irish stars, like Colin Farrell, who’ve made it big and have also struggled with addiction? “ I think a lot of artists understand it, because it’s part of the artistic thing. For me, it’s like various phases, like any young fella would go through in his 20’s when you’ve suddenly got a ton of money and a lot of downtime. “ But it’s grand. You just kind of put it in the past. You make your choices and you trust the people you trust and if you trust yourself, then it all works out.” These days, he says he plays a lot of sports, like skiing and golf and he writes a lot. Who does he share his life with? “ Several people, I suppose, several people who are close to me. It’s extraordinary but I live my life much more Spartan than people would imagine I would. I don’t have many things. I don’t accumulate possessions. I am not into money, apart from the essential of what you need to live on. But I do require peace and quiet and I require tidiness. “ On Sunday mornings I clean my house. It’s the funniest thing you’ve ever seen. It’s my ritual. It’s fantastic. I don’t have a cleaner. I am not very good with my hands but I think if I was good with my fingers I think something like origami would be very good for me; something that’s very sort of neat and tidy. “ I think it’s probably a little sort of actor OCD but I constantly have to have everything spotless and in mint condition before I read, especially. I have to have the whole room almost feng shui, before I read. It’s just one of those weird actor things, but it’s just another fragment to throw into the other part.” http://patriciadanaher.net/writings_rhysmyers.html
Âåëüâåò: Catwalk Kidd is a big fan of Irish fashion JETSETTING model Jodie Kidd last night declared herself a dedicated follower of Irish fashion. International clothes-horse Kidd, also an accomplished polo player, flew into Ireland for a glitzy awards ceremony to celebrate some of the country's leading designers. Kidd presented designer John Rocha with the coveted Best Fashion Designer Award at the Off the Rails Fashion Awards in the RDS, Dublin. The British catwalk star insisted she was a "big supporter of Irish fashion" and was thrilled to be attending the event. Actress and author Amy Huberman, a star of RTE's 'The Clinic', was delighted to be chosen as the best-dressed female celebrity. Her delight was relayed to the audience in the RDS Simmonscourt via a pre-recorded video link. The fiancee of Leinster rugby star Brian O'Driscoll was unable to attend on the night as she was in Cork for work on a new show. Despite her absence she thanked the fashion-conscious 'RTE Guide' readers who had voted to put her on a shortlist for the prestigious prize. "I was so excited to find out that I had won this award, especially when it was a public vote and there were so many other stylish women in the category," she said. "It's incredibly flattering, so I'd really like to thank anyone that voted for me." She also gave a few nuggets of information about her own fashion choices: "You dress for yourself essentially, so it's nice when people admire a style or how you put things together. "It such a nice award to get. I'm a huge girly girl and I just love clothes." RTE fashion editor Janet Butler collected the award for best dressed male celebrity on behalf of Jonathan Rhys Meyers. The star of 'The Tudors' was also missing as he had to fly out of Ireland immediately after filing the fourth series of the drama. The judging panel bestowed the best stylist award on Paula Hughes. Before the awards ceremony got under way, models displaying outfits from Coast, Oasis and TopShop got into their stride with smart styling from Graham Cruz, and Joanne Hynes showed off fabulous evening wear. http://www.independent.ie/national-news/catwalk-kidd-is-a--big-fan-of-irish-fashion-1943509.html
Âåëüâåò: Òàêè Äæîíàòàíó ÷åãî-òî âðó÷àò Saoirse Ronan and J. J. Abrams will be honored at the fifth annual “Oscar Wilde: Honoring the Irish in Film” pre-Academy Awards party on Thursday, March 4, 2010 at the Ebell of Los Angeles. The event is presented by the US-Ireland Alliance, a non-profit organization created to foster ties between the US and Ireland. The intimate, casual awards ceremony has led to collaboration among artists and business for both countries. James L. Brooks created an episode of The Simpsons about an Irish pub closing. He traveled to Ireland to premiere the episode, which featured his co-honoree Colm Meaney, and performers Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova. Fiona Shaw, who was also an honoree, saw singer Duke Special perform. The Belfast singer/songwriter joined Fiona in the cast of Mother Courage and Her Children, which is currently playing at the National Theatre of London. This time around, US-Ireland Alliance is honoring Saoirse Ronan with the “Wilde Card,” an inaugural award recognizing a rising talent in the film industry. Ronan began her acting career at the age of nine, and went on to recurring roles in two Irish television series, The Clinic and Proof. She has appeared opposite many well-known actors in her career: Michelle Pfeiffer and Paul Rudd in I Could Never Be Your Woman; Gillian Armstrong’s Death Defying Acts with Catherine Zeta-Jones and Guy Pearce; and City of Ember, Gil Kenan’s fantasy adventure, with Bill Murray, Tim Robbins, and Toby Jones. In 2007, Ronan starred in Atonement opposite Keira Knightley and James McAvoy. She earned an Oscar Nomination for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role. Ronan recently completed filming Peter Jackson’s The Lovely Bones as well as Peter Weir’s The Way Back with Daniel Craig, Ed Harris, and Colin Firth. US-Ireland Alliance President Trina Vargo states that Ronan represents a new generation of electrifying performers. Also being honored is J. J. Abrams, who will be made an “Honorary Irishman.” Vargo comments that Abrams has made his mark in virtually every facet of the business. Abrams is an Emmy and Golden Globe winner best known for his work as creator or co-creator of Lost, Felicity, Alias, and Fringe. He has his own production company, Bad Robot, under which he created and executive produced ABC-TV’s Alias and Lost. Abrams also reveals his musical talent with his four TV shows by composing their theme music. Aside from television, Abrams is a feature film director. His credits include: Taking Care of Business starring Charles Grodin and Jim Belushi; Regarding Henry with Harrison Ford; Forever Young with Mel Gibson; Mission: Impossible III; and Star Trek (2009). He also collaborated with Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Bay on Armageddon. Other honorees have included Brendan Gleeson, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Van Morrison, Terry George, Neil Jordan, Jim Sheridan, and David Holmes. Many honorees at US-Ireland’s party win an Academy Award the next night. When screenwriter Bill Monahan was honored, he won an Academy Award for The Departed. Hansard and Irglova performed at the event before winning an Academy Award for their song “Falling Slowly” from the film Once. Vargo observed that nominees often feel the luck of the Irish from this event. http://www.irishemigrant.com/ie/go.asp?p=story&storyID=5484
Âåëüâåò: Jonathan Rhys Meyers has a busy few months coming up. In addition to saying goodbye to his popular Showtime series “The Tudors,” which begins airing its fourth and final season in January, the Irish actor will also premiere his film with John Travolta, “From Paris With Love,” and begin shooting another project with Kevin Bacon in Belfast. “From Paris With Love” is a spy caper set in France, and it opens on February 5. Check out the trailer here. It looks pretty interesting. Meanwhile, JRM will try his hand at comedy with Bacon in a project called “Whole Lotta Sole,” which is due to be filmed in Belfast. According to “Entertainment Tonight,” JRM plays a thief who tries to rob a fish market, resulting in the taking of Bacon’s character as hostage. Irishman Terry George is a co-writer of the script. “It's very exciting to have one of the best young actors today, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, teamed up with one of the greats, Kevin Bacon,” says the director, Jay Russell. Rhys Meyers and his on-off girlfriend, Reena Hammer, also did their bit for the environment last week by attending the annual Rainforest Project in London hosted by Prince Charles. http://www.irishcentral.com/ent/Jonathan-Rhys-Meyers-keeps-busy-after-wrapping-The-Tudors-70627227.html
Âåëüâåò: Äæîíàòàí ñ Ðèíîé ñêîðî ïîæåíÿòüñÿ??? Reena, 23, who is the creative director of Urban Retreat, the beauty company founded by her father, George, tells me that she has stuck by the 32-year-old actor, despite reports that she had dumped him because of his drunken behaviour. "We have been together through everything in the past five years," she says. "Marriage has come up a few times as we have been together for so long: it would be lovely. I am still young and there is no rush, but you never know." The couple will be entertaining both sets of family this Christmas at their house in London. "I will be cooking for 10 people, which is quite scary," she says. Rhys Meyers had previously been romantically linked to the actresses Toni Collette, who played his wife in the film Velvet Goldmine, Katie McGrath and Asia Argento, his co-star in B. Monkey. His engagement to Cha Cha Seigne, an Irish socialite and model, ended in 2002. In 2007, he was arrested in Dublin Airport and charged with being drunk and in breach of the peace. The charges were later dropped. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/celebritynews/6624128/Marriage-to-Jonathan-Rhys-Meyers-would-be-lovely-says-Reena-Hammer.html
Âåëüâåò: JONATHAN RHYS MEYERS HATES SEX SCENES Irish actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers doesn't enjoy filming love scenes because you have to pretend to be having sex in front of lots of people. Jonathan Rhys Meyers hates shooting sex scenes because make-up gets applied to your butt. The Irish hunk thinks the least enjoyable thing about being an actor is having to get steamy with your co-stars in front of the rest of the cast and crew. He told German TV channel Tele 5: "It is embarrassing every time. You have to pretend that you're passionately making love and forget the whole world. But of course you're on set with about 20 people, a camera and a make-up woman conceals the pimples on your butt." Although Jonathan hates shooting sex scenes, the 'Match Point' star is finding his profession easier as he gets older. The 32-year-old star added: "I am now 32 and everything that has happened so far, I call my apprenticeship. The rest of my career I can loosen up." http://www.contactmusic.com/news.nsf/story/jonathan-rhys-meyers-hates-sex-scenes_1124740

It has always (and I repeat, ALWAYS) been a dream of mine to just randomly meet a celebrity anywhere on the streets with no occasion/event whatsoever. And, indeed I just have!!! I was having lunch with my friend in a restaurant of a little higher class than normal. We were seated facing the entrance. Just as we got seated, and our drinks came, I saw this guy walk in. I didn't register it at first and continued talking to my friend. But like after a second, it hit me. I thought that guy looked REALLY REALLY familiar. Instantly, I knew it was Jonathan Rhys Meyers. I turned to look back at him straight away and stared! Man! I nearly ran over to give him a hug. But, obviously being in such a nice restaurant, I behaved myself. Haha.. I used to think he was quite hunky. Even though not hunky to me anymore, but still, JRM!!! OMG!!!!!!! I used to be such a big fan of him! Anyway, he went to join this table where a girl and a bald headed man were already seated. They were seated not too far way from where we were seating. When he was seated, he looked towards my direction. There was nothing behind my table, so I'm pretty sure he was looking at me. He didn't look once, but a few times! WAHAHAHAHA! It may just be me thinking that, but I don't care! While I was searching for a picture of JRM to put in the picture above, I was typing in "Jonathan Rhys Meyers" on Google. You know how when you type something, a list of recommended searches come up below? Well, below "Jonathan Rhys Meyers" was "Jonathan Rhys Meyers girlfriend" and "Jonathan Rhys Meyers Gossip". Being the curious me, I wanted to know who his she was, so I googled it. And when I saw image results, I was surprised to see a face I have seen before. It was the girl that was sitting beside him in the restaurant!!!!!!! Her name is Reena Hammer. Her dad has something to do with Harrods and her mom owns Ruby & Millie cosmetics which she will take over eventually. Saturday the 19th of December, 2009 at about 3pm is indeed one day to remember! =)=) p/s: December 19th is also my daddy's birthday.

Âåëüâåò: Tributes Paid to Film Correspondent Michael Dwyer Michael Dwyer Tributes are pouring in from the Irish cinema and arts industry following the death of film critic and cinema promoter, Michael Dwyer, on Friday, January 1st. He was 58. Mr. Dwyer served as the film correspondent for the Irish Times for over 20 years. He was previously the film critic for several other publications including the Sunday Tribune, the Sunday Press and the In Dublin magazine. An established and admired cinematic advocate and commentator, Mr. Dwyer was also a driving force behind the promotion of Irish and international cinema. He became involved with the Film Society in his native town of Tralee, Co. Kerry in the early 1970s and went on then to establish and direct the Federation of Irish Film Societies where he organised the screenings of arthouse films across the country. Following on from this Mr. Dwyer co-founded the Dublin Film Festival in 1985, an event he was to manage and programme for years before stepping down in the mid 1990s. The festival ultimately ran into financial difficulties which lead to Mr. Dwyer becoming active in the founding of its replacement, the Dublin International Film Festival in 2002. He was also a member of the board for the Irish Museum of Modern Art until very recently. Today’s Irish Times features accolades from Mr. Dwyer’s peers and Irish cinema heavyweights such as Daniel Day Lewis, who says of the critic “He was a compassionate and empathetic writer. His criticism was not cruel or self-serving, but always honest, fair-minded, and guided by his essential love of the form itself.” Actors Cillian Murphy and Jonathan Rhys Meyers speak of Mr. Dwyer’s support in the early days of their respective careers and Brendan Gleeson calls Mr. Dwyer “one of Irish film’s great friends – insightful lucid, always positive.” Gabriel Byrne paints a powerful image with the words “Perceptive and objective, magnanimous and uncynical.” Irish directors Neil Jordan and Jim Sheridan also make contributions with the former simply stating that Dwyer was “the most delightful man imaginable. He was almost too kind at times.” And Sheridan highlighting Mr. Dwyer’s talent in his field by heralding him as the first to recognise ‘My Left Foot’ and finishing by saying “he didn’t have two sides to him.” The Irish Times’ Hugh Linehan, in the same article, describes his former colleague as “a lover of life and of movies.” and continues to describe him as “the most influential Irish film critic of his generation”. Mr. Linehan also makes reference to the Chevalier des Arts et Lettres accolade that was bestowed on Mr. Dwyer in 2006 by the French government in recognition of Mr. Dwyer’s dedication to Irish and International film. Aine Moriarty, CEO of the Irish Film & Television Academy, said, "Michael Dwyer was a true great friend of the film community in Ireland. His genuine love of the art form meant that his reviews and critiques were always honest and balanced, mixed with his innate ability to remain kind in his delivery. As a result Michael was highly respected by his readers and craftspeople/filmmakers alike and became Ireland’s most influential Irish film critic. He will be greatly missed by the film community and everyone who had the pleasure of knowing this wonderful man”. Also paying tribute to Mr. Dwyer’s life and works was Martin Cullen TD, Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism who stated: “I am saddened to hear of the passing of Michael Dwyer. The film sector and the media have lost a passionate, dedicated enthusiast who for more than three decades has been the most singular, significant influence on cinema in Ireland.” The minister continued, saying “Michael Dwyer was passionate about film as an art form and his commentary whether on the printed page or on radio or television had a wonderful combination of knowledge and instinct. His authoritative journalism was essential reading for anyone interested in Irish and world film. He was committed to his craft, to the promotion of film and filmmaking in this country and was also known for the great impression that he gave of Ireland abroad, while interviewing many screen stars.” And concluded by stating “The film community in Ireland and abroad will miss this distinguished, knowledgeable and popular journalist. I extend my sincere sympathy to his partner Brian, mother Mary, sisters Anne and Maria at this sad time. May he rest in peace.” Mr. Dwyer died as a result of an illness which was diagnosed after the Cannes Film Festival last summer. Following a period of respite he returned to the Irish Times and described a glad return trip to world of cinema, writing “as the audience filed in all around us, I felt a deep sense of belonging and a surge of pleasure to be in a cinema after all those months, to be back where I belonged.” The film critic’s funeral will take place tomorrow, Tuesday, January 5th at 11am in the Church of the Holy Name, Beechwood Avenue, Ranelagh, and will then move to the Mount Jerome Crematorium. http://www.iftn.ie/?act1=record&only=1&aid=73&rid=4282794&tpl=archnewshome&force=1
Âåëüâåò: JONATHAN RHYS MEYERS I WAS 18 when I first met Michael Dwyer. We were in a hotel in Leicester Square before the screening of my first film, The Disappearance of Finbar. He really put me at ease. Such a nice guy. Then, when it was shown in Ireland, he gave me a great write-up. It really meant something to get a write-up like that from somebody so respected. He was personally supportive and he was supportive of Irish film. You know, it’s actually hard to be supportive when you have that power. You can sell more newspapers by saying bad things about people . http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/features/2010/0104/1224261598524.html

A roomful of beautiful, well-dressed people, all gathered to celebrate your towering achievements, and applaud vigorously as you step up to receive your Most Terrific Person of the Year award, writes KEVIN COURTNEY When the invites are sent out for this year’s big awards ceremonies, you can be sure the celebs will be swiftly rsvp-ing and rehearsing their acceptance speech for the night. But there’s one awards invite that Irish celebs handle as though it were an envelope filled with anthrax. When this awards ceremony kicks off tomorrow night at Dublin’s Sugar Club, you can be sure most of the nominees will be at home washing their hair, or will be otherwise engaged. There’s no shortage of top names on the shortlist for the third annual Gooseberry Awards – which includes Westlife, Joe Duffy, Daniel O’Donnell and Chris De Burgh – but don’t be surprised if none of them shows up on the night. The Gooseberries are Ireland’s anti-Meteors, anti-Iftas and anti-Sharks, celebrating the “worst” in Irish entertainment and media. Ireland’s celebrity bubble is a small one, but the Gooseberries are intent on bursting it in style tomorrow night, when they hand out “Goosies” to this year’s crop of celebrity chaff. “It’s meant to be self-deprecating, but not many Irish celebs are very self-deprecating,” says journalist Barbara McCarthy, who started the Gooseberries with Sugar Club manager Oisin Davis. “A lot of them have an overblown sense of their own importance, and few of them have a sense of humour, so it’s hard to persuade them to come down to collect their awards. Irony and sarcasm seem to be lost on them.” Still, McCarthy is hopeful that one or two of the nominees will show up and take it all in good spirit. She conceived the Gooseberries as an antidote to the annual back-slapping fests that clog up the Irish social calendar. The format is based on the US Raspberry awards, or the “Razzies”, which highlight the worst in Hollywood filmmaking. Leading the pack for 2009 is The Tudors star Jonathan Rhys Meyers, who will be given a lifetime achievement award for his ongoing role as a true divo of drama. “It’s the full-of-himself-ness, the tantrums at the airport, the dodgy moustache and the man-heels,” says McCarthy. Chris De Burgh is nominated in two categories, Worst Act of 2009 and Worst Gig of 2009 (for his Gaiety concert last autumn). Should he win in either or both categories, he’s unlikely to turn up to collect his gongs. Never fear: McCarthy has asked Paddy Casey to accept the award on Mr De Burgh’s behalf; though, if Casey agrees to do it, he may draw the line at singing The Lady in Red . “We’ve got great alternatives lined up, just in case the winners don’t turn up,” says McCarthy. “When Twink won last year, Panti made a great acceptance speech.” Other nominees include twin brother duo Jedward (Worst Irish Act), Terenure rockers The Coronas (Worst Irish Album and Worst Irish Single), journalists Kevin Myers, Brendan O’Connor and Barry Egan, and radio presenters Marty Whelan and Derek Mooney. VIP , the RTÉ Guide and The Phoenix go head to head in the Worst Irish Publication category, Harvey Norman have two nominations for Worst Irish Ad of 2009, and The All-Ireland Talent Show is neck and neck with The Afternoon Show and TV3 News for Worst Irish TV Programme. The nominees were chosen by public votes posted on the Gooseberries website (thegooseberries.com), so there’s no use complaining. Ryan Tubridy, is absent from the nominations, which can only be taken as an endorsement of his first season at the helm of The Late Late Show. The recession has reawakened the spectre of begrudgery, but McCarthy insists these awards are all about good-natured slagging – the Gooseberries may be green, but not with envy. “It’s just people asking, why do we have to endure this, or what are we paying our TV licence for? It’s a fun way to complain about all the mediocrity out there.” * The Gooseberries take place at the Sugar Club, Dublin, on Thursday at 8pm, Adm free http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/features/2010/0113/1224262198051.html

It seems the Irish-born star of Mission Impossible III has been making the most of the good snow and empty slopes here in Chamonix for a low-season break. It's not the first time Jonathan, who is most known for playing Henry VIII in TV series The Tudors and err....looking nice, has spent time in Chamonix. He was also spotted back in 2008 when he apparently enjoyed his first visit to the valley and treated himself to a helicopter sightseeing tour over Mont Blanc. If you've spotted Jonathan Rhys Meyers on your travels around Chamonix this week, let us know! http://www.chamonet.com/whats_new_article.php?id_whats_new=6248&id_back=1

Âåëüâåò: Jonathan Rhys Meyers Ladies, get out your hankies. This spring, the last season of Showtime’s hit series The Tudors will air. Even sadder, it’s the last time we’ll be seeing Jonathan Rhys Meyers in tights. Thank God he has other stuff in the works: This month, he stars in the action flick From Paris With Love. Oh…and if his superb acting chops and piercing baby blues weren’t enough to make you fall for him, he thinks every woman deserves a pair of Louboutins. http://www.cosmopolitan.com/celebrity/exclusive/fun-fearless-male-2010
