Well the Haunted House affair on Wednesday was indeed, haunting. Scary ogres parolled the crowd with blood oozing from their faces! Plenty of loud noise, eery smoke effects and even the Gardai turned up (police to our international readers!). Well done to Intrepid (Tara & Koo) for organising such a great launch. I also heard that in the region of €60,000 was raised for charity between Louis Maguire of Funny Stuff TV (makers of Haunted House), TV3 and Intrepid.
Milling around the haunted crowd were Ray Senior of ShowBizIreland, Caroline Morahan & Jordan Lee McDaid, Julian Benson, Sarah Devitt and Toni Wall. The party continued on to Club Anabel till the early hours, giving all 27 contestants a good chance to get to know one another.
My weekend was rounded off nicely on Sunday, with a trip out to Killiney to meet Ireland's newest pop group, winners of Irish Popstars, Six. Emma, Sarah, Sinead, Kyle, Andy and Liam are sure to hit the bigtime when their debut single is released on the 8th of February. I've already heard it and a catchy number it is. You can see them perform for the first time ever at the Childline Concert in the Point this coming Sunday.
And as if a line up including S Club 7, A1, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Blue isn't enough celebrity for you, then you better get down to Tolka Park on Saturday. Keith Duffy is holding his annual charity footie match - the Keith Duffy All Stars v Sky One's Dream Team.
