  2. David Bowie's director son thinks Irish actress is a star
    August 05, 09

    With his new movie "Moon" getting rave reviews and critical acclaim, writer and director Duncan Jones - and son of legendary artist David Bowie - may have a bit of Irish luck up his sleeve. The 38-year old writer and director hails from Kent, England but in casting for "Moon," Jones chose Irish actress Dominique McElligott to play the earth-bound wife of astronaut Sam Bell (played by actor Sam Rockwell).

    July 01, 09

    U2 kicked off their new 360 Tour in front of 90,000 screaming fans in Barcelona last night from a spaceship. Well, it's not really a spaceship but it sure looks like one! The band walked on to the stage at 10 p.m. to the sounds of David Bowie’s “Space Oddity.” It was a fitting choice for an intro, being that the band’s stage, The Claw, resembles a spaceship on legs.

  4. Third time unlucky for Jason O'Mara as 'Life on Mars' axed

    Irish actor Jason O'Mara's third big American break has fallen flat as ABC has axed his show "Life on Mars."

  5. A Very Tasty Cake
    March 10, 09

    IS it me, or do you sometimes feel suckered by charity albums? Don't get me wrong - the intentions are great. Socially conscious music in CD packages, however, is typically packed with album filler, half-baked b-side ideas or tepid live versions from your favorite bands that are peddled as "new songs."

    If you're looking for something sweet and original, might I suggest dropping in on The Cake Sale? The album, recorded in Dublin last year and spearheaded by Bell X1's Brian Crosby, is a collection of alternative acoustic gems performed by a who's who of Ireland's music scene.

  6. Roisin Murphy Roars Into Town
    March 10, 09

    SHE'S a famous pop singer and a internationally respected style icon - the Gucci fashion house put at the heart of their Fashion Rocks show this year - but at heart Roisin Murphy's still a Wicklow girl who went to London and became a star.

    Last week she was in New York to promote her latest album Overpowered by playing one of the most anticipated one-night-only shows on New York's calendar this year.

    Critics have described her as Madonna with talent, or Amy Winehouse with her act together, and they have called her latest album so good it's unnerving.

  7. The Comeback Man
    March 10, 09

    Meeting Mickey Rourke, 52, feels more like meeting a rock star than an actor. One thing's for certain, he doesn't disappoint.

    Flanked by two female assistants and dressed in an eye-catching striped jacket with a dapper silk handkerchief exploding from his breast pocket during a recent press day in New York to promote his stunning comeback film "The Wrestler," Rourke doesn't just enter a room.

  8. The Hall Rocks With Irish
    March 09, 09

    Why in God's name are you taking her to Cleveland for her birthday?!? That was a recurring question when I told people of my plans to celebrate my wife's milestone birthday (a husband's code of conduct forbids me from printing her age) this past weekend. I was just following orders; the missus always wanted to go to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Did I marry the right woman or what?

    Walking up to the hall is an experience guaranteed to raise more than a goose bump or two.
