Celebrity Farm

We were watching... celebrity farm

RTE gets in on the reality game with Celebrity Farm. Think Twink, Mary Coughlan and a few other micro-celebrities bickering on a farm to raise money for charity. Rumours of nervous breakdowns and vote fixing persist while claims of ageism take root.

We were talking about… wmd

Blair and Bush tried to convince the rest of the world that Saddam had ferreted away weapons of mass destruction, capable of deploying within 45 minutes, but we weren't so sure. Funnily enough, despite the invasion they never found any.

We were reading… The Da Vinci Code

Author Dan Brown hit the jackpot with his novel The Da Vinci Code. It sold over 80 million copies worldwide and annoyed the Catholic Church no end. Thousands of conspiracy theorists flock to see The Last Supper painting in Milan.

We were lusting after... Justin Timberlake

Who knew that the curly-haired dweeb from boyband NSYNC was a hottie in waiting? Cue his debut album Justified with classics like 'Cry Me a River'. Britney's ex earns himself some serious industry credibility and a whole new female following.

My Hero

Wes Anderson, the film director who created some of my favourite movies since the '80's. The Royal Tenenbaums, The Life Aquatic and The Darjeeling Limited.

My villain

Reality TV. No one should be famous for doing nothing.

My low point

Borat and Bruno.

Best invention

Facebook was pretty good. Got in touch with all the gals I went to secondary school with in like a nano second after years of not knowing where in the world they were!

Work of art/book/song

Arcade Fire I think will always remind people of the noughties

If i could change one thing

To get back the hours I lost watching Tom Hanks in The Da Vinci Code.

My happiest time

I am pretty happy now – two shows on Today FM, two cats, a nice house, can't complain.

My greatest hope

That people can stop worrying about losing their jobs and not having enough money to pay bills.
