Top 100
The newly revamped Cocoon was the location for the latest Social & Personal par-tay, hosted by the irrepressible P.J. Gibbons. A veritable Who's Who of familiar faces, the great and the good quaffed champagne and indulged in Haagan Dazs, while checking out whether there actually were any eligible men in the room. That's why we were there, to celebrate the Top 100 Most Eligible Men List.
Standing proud in the top spot is none other than comedian (and fellow blogger) Des Bishop. The native New Yorker was unable to attend the big bash as he is currently recording a show for super channel HBO. Also sharing the space at the top are actors Cillian Murphy and Keith Duffy, playboy Eddie Irvine and U2's Larry Mullen Jnr. No doubt the judges, who included my agent John Compton, had a tough time deciding.
From my vantage point I spied designer Nicky Wallace, models Astrid Brennan and Peter Lloyd, publicists Sinead Ryan and Amy Buckeridge (who celebrates her brithday next week), diarist Gavin Lambe - Murphy and fashionista Anne Boylan. A glowing Glenda Gilson made a dramatic late entrance, obviously enjoying life after Brian. You could tell what type of party it was by the cars double parked outside: a Ferrari, 2 Mercs, a convertible Lotus (Glenda's new voiture) and a Beemer.
We repaired to Bruxelles for Pussy's hilarious show, where we bumped into Ali Chawke (Ireland's answer to Paris Hilton?), Emily Cox of Slattery and Richard Kavanagh. Oooh er missus.
Question of night: Which married woman flirted openly with guys half her age? Her millionaire husband was clearly embarrassed, but turned a blind eye to her drunken behaviour.
