A very Irish showbiz roundup of the weekend...
On Saturday, Conor and Sean Price were eliminated in the quarter finals of X Factor along with fellow contestant Sam Black. They were so gracious in defeat, and told Dermot O’Leary "We’ve had a great time and we never expected to come this far. Every week is the highlight." That's definitely not the last we'll have heard from the 2 lads, that's for sure!
Saoirse Ronan will host Saturday Night Live next week! As Oscar buzz builds with her performance in Lady Bird, Saoirse Ronan is the star of the moment in the US and has been invited to host NBC's Saturday Night Live.
It's a big deal for Saoirse, who will present the show on December 2, with U2 providing the music on the night.
Niall Horan has won an American Music Award!
He thanked his supporters from the Microsoft Theatre (a very underwhelming name for a theatre) in Los Angeles on Sunday night when he was presented the award voted for by the fans.
“This is unbelievable, I’ve had a hell of a year. To be put in that category with some of my friends was unbelievable enough,” he said.
When asked what her most unappealing habit was, Andrea Corr admitted she still sucks her thumb...at the age of 43. She also scratched all of Jim’s records when she was younger... monster.
