Rosie Howick appears to be your typical Cork woman- personable, with that confidence which is just on the safe side of cocky. However the 31 year old mother of one stands out from the crowd as Ireland’s only Kylie Minogue impersonator.
So it’s freezing cold and every radio station and newspaper columnist is talking about how we’ll be on a diet of gruel or, on special occasions, bread and dripping, before Summer. Never fear. Lindsay Lohan has brought some cheer to an otherwise gloomy morning….well if you’re a LiLo fan that is.
She wrote on her MySpace blog:
“little piece of TRUE information:
we did NOT break up!”
Romance is alive and well and it’s thrashing hotel rooms!
The saga continues…Access Hollywood is reporting that Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson have broken up. To be honest I’m hoping this isn’t true. I was kinda rooting for the pair of them to defy the odds, withstand the paparazzi and endless gossip and ride off into the sunset on white horses between Ellen and Portia.
However it looks like Lindsay may be riding solo from now on. The infamous ’source close to the couple’ said that Lindsay has packed up her old kit bag and moved out of the house she shared with Ronson.
Lindsay’s sister Ali Lohan is supposed to be moving in with her to support her through the breakup. She’ll probably need the support as she’s being painted as ‘the crazy redhead’ Cruella DeVille character in this story…driving poor Samantha to literal exhaustion. Mmm…From what I can see since the couple confirmed their relationship, Lohan has said she loves Samantha and ‘cares about her deeply’. She’s been by her side through all her gigs and they seemed happy. That said is there ever smoke without Firecrotch?
Lindsay stated adamantly that if the pair ever broke up she’d declare it on her MySpace blog and there hasn’t been a peep out of her yet. Fingers crossed she’ll come out and say it’s all just bullshit.
When it comes to Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson there is always some debate raging in the media. First it was the ‘is she or isn’t she’ saga. Then the ‘is it a publicity stunt’ debate. And , most recently, the media decided to analyse every facet of the relationship and await its demise as the ‘they’re on the verge of splitting up’ stories hit the press on a weekly basis.

Christmas can be a tough time for relationships. Spending Christmas Day apart or with your in-laws can make anyone turn to the mulled wine for comfort or fling some brussel sprouts at a particularly annoying relative. If you believe what you read it’s been a tough Christmas for Firecrotch. As well as having to deal with every aspect of her relationship being media fodder, she has to deal with her ‘peach’ of a dad who took a break from trying to attack Sam over Christmas to drop a bombshell on the family. Lindsay wrote on her blog:
Hurray!!! Just found out that there’s a new lesbian night running in Dublin and it doesn’t happen once a year when a group of naked lesbians sacrifice the blood of an ox to the Lord of the Dance on O’Connell Street. It will be weekly. Yes WEEKLY. About frigging time!!!
The night is called ‘Dodgeball’…perhaps the best name for a lesbian night ever! A stroke of genius by the organisers!! It will be on every Thursday night in the Dragon on Georges St. Whatever will us Irish girls do? We can now choose between Dodgeball and the two monthly nights- CaKE and Kiss…look at the scene grow!!!
The Irish Independent reported yesterday that gay, lesbian and bisexual patients may be receiving substandard medical care from their doctors. To assist general practitioners (GP’s), the first book of guidelines for doctors on the care of gay patients has been published.
Research behind the book reveals that many people are still wary of revealing their sexuality to their GP- thus the need for the GP to encourage the disclosure of this information, appearing approachable and understanding.
It’s not surprising, particularly in Ireland where gay rights are so far behind the rest of the developed world, that people remain secretive. No doubt the situation is aggrevated in smaller practices, with a doctor who treats both you and the rest of your family. Hopefully this move will make more people comfortable with their doctor. Afterall, you’re paying him/her 50 quid…you may as well get your money’s worth!!
