Have you seen http://www.bavariamickeyrourke.com yet? It’s the brand’s latest project just in time for the...

Kevin Spacey in Dublin at the Jameson Cult Film...
Kevin Spacey was in Dublin last night at the Jameson Cult Film Club, part of the Jameson Dublin International Film Festival. He gave a Q&A afterwards.
The highlight was probably his impressions of Morgan Freeman, Al Pacino and others, as below:

Where Do I Start? by Nyree Yergainharsian - a...
(Part of THEATREclub’s “the THEATRE MACHINE turns you on: (vol ii)” at the Project Arts Centre, Dublin.)
Nyree Yerhainharsian has an interesting story. Disarmingly honest, refreshingly frank and decidedly confident, her small but simple piece on who she is and where she’s from was both different to what I expected and funnier than I thought it would be.

Competition: Win a €90 bouquet of roses from...
I got into a conversation with a new friend recently about the fakeness of Valentine’s Day - how it shouldn’t just be February 14th that people use to tell others they love them. I have no strong feelings either way, but wouldn’t let the day pass without doing something.
