<strong>CHALLENGE 126!! This is insane. I could only do this if I had a herd of horny shotgun wielding elephants behind me looking for a piece of prime Linehan rump! Ruuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Brian Maher of Spin 1038</strong> and movie man <strong>Mike Sheridan of entertainment.ie / RTÉ’s TwoTube</strong> will set out to run 126 miles (the equivalent of 5 marathons) in one day in aid of <strong><a href="http://www.specialolympics.ie/">Special Olympics Ireland.</a></strong> Pushing
the limitations of physical and mental endurance, the pair’s journey
will begin in Limerick City at 7am on Thursday 26th April. Approximately
30 hours later, they will arrive on Dublin’s Grafton St. <br />
<br />
You can donate through www.challenge126.com or by texting the word ‘Donate’ to 57252

A collection of all my videos for ION TV @ entertainment.ie. We have a smorgasm-bord of celebrities and high profile musicians, red carpets, movie premieres, charity events, celebrations and loads more from learning Polish with Saoirse Ronan, chuckling with Colin Farrell, to a Pun-tastic chat with Danny from The Script, to swearing lessons with Dara O Briain, sandwich fillings with Jedward, to Lisa Hannigan baking "special cakes" for Bob Dylan to threesomes with Amy Huberman to fingering the Scissor Sisters! It's all here. And loads more. Enjoy! <br />

Er..actually DO!FOOD, GLORIOUS FOOD.....OOH AND WINE.<br />

Man on the moon, hovering skateboards, Reebok Pumps, adult nappies, tupperware, tic-tacs, slippers in the shape of cute animals, fold-up combs... Jesus, is there any end to the list of groundbreaking inspirational ideas and inventions that have been developed by the human being.<br />
<br />
So, it is with great disappointment that we are still faced in this, the year of our Lord 2012 with NO SMELLYVISION or TASTETV. (If only you could taste the big pea or the smell the beef cheek...all is revealed in the video).<br />
<br />
Oh yeah, I can post that my cat has just farted or which cream biscuit rules the world but we need that extra added ingredient which would make those cookery shows just that little bit more palatable...I'm looking at you <b>Jamie Oliver</b> with your herb garden that changed your life...he never mentions the f*cking team of gardeners that are paid to upkeep though...AAAARRGGHHH!! Jamie doesn't mind...he's very rich.<br />
<br />
Although, I've never been bothered by Heston's hay cooker or the Blumenthal bunsen burner. I do like a crazy cooking implement and this night had a few!<br />
<br />
So, I was very happy indeed to go along to the <i>'Curious Feast for the Senses'</i> at the Sugar Club in Leeson Street, Dublin 2 for a night of food & wine where we could eat as the chef prepared...fantastic! You don't get that on TV!<br />
<br />
All thanks to the lovely wino people at <b>Brancott Estate</b>. <br />

<br />
So, to celebrate this month of amour, myself and the ION TV crew grabbed our bows and headed along to help shoot some love arrows at the Tesco 'Love In The Aisles' singles night in Cabra. I have to say it was one of the best laughs I've had in a long time as the set-up was excellent and all the singles taking part were a riot. Fair play now lets get to the love!<br />

Dublin was awash with luvvies for the 9th annual IFTA awards last week. So, of course myself and the ION TV crew headed along for all the glitz and glamour dahling! Well, I didn't have any glitz or glamour myself but I managed to find a nifty pair of socks to rival the ones worn by Niall Breslin aka <b>Bressie</b>, discussed the possibility of ripping off his shirt to reveal a Kerry GAA top with <b>Michael Fassbender</b>, Vampish sexuality with <b>Kathryn Thomas</b>, talked working in Ireland with <b>Dana Delaney</b> (Katherine off <b>Desperate Housewives</b>), Agnes Brown's knickers with her creator <b>Brendan Carroll</b>, talking food with the Irish Masterchef lads and the lovely <b>Charlene McKenna</b> off Raw plus loads more!<br />

ION @ BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition<br />
<br />
WE headed along to the place where the country's brightest bunsen-burning boffins competed to see who had the biggest brain!<br />
<br />
Myself and Tony the Cameraman (that's his actual surname) spoke to a load of science students from Cork, Dublin, Kerry, Monaghan, Clare, Wicklow and loads more.<br />
<br />
There are some brilliant ideas in here and it's good to know that while Ireland is on it's feckin knees in debt we REALLY have some of the best brained geeks in this country. <br />
<br />
The future's bright!<br />

<br />
Okay, so I wouldn't say I'm the bravest person in the wrold...stupid (I have nealt electricuted myself twice and have eaten a scorpion..that as they say is for another day) but most definitely not brave. And when it comes to fairground rides they are not really my top priority for enjoyment. Admittedly I've got up on a few dodgy ones in the past (ooh er missus!) but being the selfless, courageous reporter that I am entertainement.ie asked me to head along to the 7UP Winter Wonderland in Kilmainham Gardens. Luckily, I had a six month tour of duty in deepest Afghanistan to prepare me!<br />

ION crew headed along to the <i>Taste of Christmas</i> show at the Convention Centre (on the quays in Dublin, building looks like God dropped a can and hasn't bothered picking it up) recently to meet the <b>Masterchef</b> Maestros <b>Dylan McGrath</b> and <b>Nick Munier</b>. I was a massive fan of the show when it was on and so I decided to make something very special for the lads to critique...<br />

Last night was the celebration of <b>Hairy Lipped Hare-krishas</b> all across the world with the Tripod in Dublin looking like the casting stage of a dodgy 70s porn movie...It was wall to wall sausage as the uber upper-lipped brigade paraded their magnificent mushers to the world before attacking them with the wilkinson sword...<br />
<br />
This year alone they reckon they have already raised close to €80 million worldwide as men relinquish the razor for one month. That's a lot of lives saved from prostate cancer.<br />

<br />
Popped or should I say flew along to the early exclusive screening of Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1 (strange name I don't see what Dawn did to deserve that). So I donned my best Edward Cullen get up, (sparkly face, Victorian manners, poetry book etc) and headed along to chat to a few crazy Twihards:<br />

<br />
As if Friday wasn't enough excitement! <br />
<br />
On Thursday I met one of my assured comedy heroes in the shape of the man mountain that it <b>Dara O' Briain</b>. He is like our very own <b>Stephen Fry</b> in the national treasure sense, has a massive presence yet a gentle giantness that doesn't involve throwing cars at building in a temper or ripping up 200 hundred year old Oak trees from their roots...NO, this man is a giant of comedy. The BFG (Big Funny Giant) and I chatted before and after his gig at the eircom spider awards... it's the Oscars for Internet people.<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/BFrVW-JU5ZU" width="560"></iframe><br />
<br />
On Saturday, still reeling in wonderment and with a permanent silly smile of disbelief after the 4-0 result against Estonia, I found myself listening to <b>Radiohead</b>'s <i>The Bends </i>on my <b>Steve Jobs</b> while simultaneously waiting in a media room to interview Jedward. It was a psychologically scarring musical paradox and I am still dealing with it.(lots of crying in cold showers) While a lot of you maay have been enjoying this incredible feat by the feet of <b>Ronan O Gara</b>...I was the filling in a "Jedward sandwich"...<br />
<br />
Smuggling turtles in bread... <br />
Wet T-Shirt Competitions...<br />
Draft lists for Santa...<br />
<br />
It can only be Jedworld.<br />
<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/9164clsxOiI" width="560"></iframe><br />
"Stuck in the middle with you!"<br />
<br />
Also spoke to the very sound JLS guys...<br />
<br />
and asked Oritsé about a certain HOT X Factor lady by the name of<b> Kelly Rowland</b>!<br />

<br />
There was a time when a "marathon" just involved peeling a wrapper and munching down on a solid rectangle brick of peanut, caramel chocolate and dried squirrel balls* NOW, not only have they changed it to Snickers but it also involves 42 km of gruelling running from one point to another point...Henry Ford is rolling in his grave people!!!<br />
<br />
Well, he may have given us the motor car but these 14,000 runners are giving a lot more. Blood, sweat, tears, joy, and most importantly over €10 MILLION raised for charity.<br />
<br />
These people are legends. WE spoke to a Lion, a Zombie, Santa Claus, The Ghostbusters, a blind woman who is running her THIRD marathon, Ray D'Arcy the ~TodayFM main man at the finish line, and many more.<br />
<br />
*this was regaled to me by a man who drank turps for tea, often ate his own underpants and once sucked a fart out of his own arse when using a lift. Therefore it is hearsay and comment and I'm clearing myself of libel in this instance. Phew! <br />
<br />
So, let your finger loose on the play button and enjoy the Dublin City Marathon 2011 as seen through the eyes of ION:<br />

<br />
It was a treacherous night on Friday last when I was given the unenviable mission of getting to the Tripod club in Dublin city centre to attend the launch of Battlefield 3.<br />
<br />
As you will see from the video myself and the cameraman Matt had to dive falling bombs, dodge bullets as they whizzed past our ears, and of course manage to give the best goddam piece to camera of my life *raises fist to the sky* ;-)<br />
<br />
There's also an interview with English/Irish singer and rapper Maverick Sabre who is fast becoming real hot property on the music scene. A very talented young man who also happens to be very sound. Nice mix. <br />
<br />

Don't worry I'm not stuck at the back of the fridge after mistakenly underestimating the length of my arms in a futile bid to get a plug into a socket.<br />
<br />
ION went along to the Irish Premiere of The Help. Based on the book by Kathryn Stockett, which sold 5 million copies, this is the film version and it has already mirrored the success of the book taking in over 300million worldwide and 4 weeks at the top of the US Box Office. <br />
<br />
We spoke to Director<b> Tate Taylor </b>and star<b> Octavia Spencer</b> who plays Minny (the whisper on the street is that she could be a shoe-in for Best Supporting Oscar. You heard it hear first.<br />
<br />
...now where's that fecking plug....ooooooh ;)<br />

<br />
I am officially the worst most inconsistent poster of blog updates since Jesus himself set up thechosenone@blogspot.com let's face it he hasn't updated in over 2,000 years so at least I'm not as bad as him but then again he has a couple a billion followers...I have you five. And, I love you all.<br />
<br />
So, to make up for my lack of scribing and for the two people who still check my blog every other month (never mind that other three) I thank you very much you beautiful human species. Here is a selection of the most recent videos I have made for ION.<br />
<br />
If you likey leave a comment on youtube or send to friends or fans of the old Rooster...the tall guy has a national radio station at his disposal so I'm using good old fashioned lick arsing to get my stuff out there...thanks. Again, did I mention how good you are looking today..ooooooohhhh that leopard vest and leather rain coat are like soooooo hot!!!<br />

Yes, it was an electric weekend up in Stradbally. Only a little driving misty sideways wetness on Friday night to dampen some of the crowd's resolve but otherwise a glorious sunny escapade. Had to stay pretty sane for the entire weekend as this is the first festival I've ever officially worked in a media capacity. This meant heading early to bed on Friday (2am) so I could be fresh for the interviews...however my plans were scuppered by a shouty twat who insisted on singing the first two lines of the National Anthem and then repeating them..again...and again...and again and if that wasn't enough he insisted on singing yes you guessed it the first two lines to Nothing Compares to You by <b>Sinead O Connor</b>. "A voice like Celine Dion Ted", he did not. 'Mr Two Lines Man'. Always a popular punter wherever you go. I buried him in the woods.<br />
<br />
Saturday was crazy with bands to be interviewed and crazy things to do and see in the 600 acres of electric eclectic madness. There's loads of clips from the crowd, festival food, weddings in blow-up churches, people pumping hard, <b><a href="http://entertainment.ie/eiTV/ION/Electric-Picnic-2011-ION%20-Picnic-Bites/1691.htm">rolling boobs down hills</a>, (this should really be a new spectator sport!!, the incredible backwards walking man! 37 secs in on same video) dancing, screaming, pies and a huge collection of crazy sunglasses and clothing!</b><br />
<br />
We have interviews with fine Irish up and coming bands who will be household names soon enough. There's <b>Shouting at Planes</b>, <b>Cocophone, Katie Kim</b>, <b>Hot Sprockets</b>, <b>Favourite Sons, The Gorgeous Colours </b>- a real mix of some great Irish Acts. Comedy comes in the form of <b>Dermot Whelan</b> (in which he said his coat was made of chickpeas so I had to lick it to check!) and the great <b>Foil, Arms and Hog</b>. Check them all out here: <a href="http://entertainment.ie/eitv/ion.asp">http://entertainment.ie/eitv/ion.asp</a><br />
<br />
There's also the King of DJ's and the one that every person who has ever bought a vinyl, attempted to scratch or just fancied themselves as a bedroom DJ then this man needs no endtroduction: <b>DJ Shadow</b>. He's a very serious guy when talking about music. He don't mess around. It was just before his gig and I'd say that he approaches a set like a General going into battle. I offered him a treatsize Curly Wurly, but he's not a fan ;-) Also spoke to a band called <b>Grouplove</b>...they're from the States and will be huuuge I'd say. Click on the pic above to see me carry out my psychic test and a collective high five vibe!<br />
<br />
Here's one of their songs, 'Tongue-tied' I reckon big things are on the horizon. Very catchy track.<br />

<br />
Christopher Mintz-Plasse (Red Mist, McLovin) and Anton Yelchin (Star Trek's Chekov) both at the Cineworld cinema in Dublin for the premiere of this remake of the 1985 Horror Classic - Fright Night!<br />
<br />
Check out our Hammer Horror inspired video (I robbed the axe off a poster!) <br />
<br />
There's also a very funny story from one of the fans who met the two stars in a lift and didn't know who they were but asked them if they were going to see the movie. Very funny. I also managed to squeeze out of the two lads the female they would most likely want to get their vampire teeth into ;-P<br />

Trailer for the movie...the 3D really works with the gore flying out at you! It's not going to win any Oscars but you can see Colin Farrell relishing the Jerry Vampire role...you could say he really gets his teeth into it... sorry, I'll get my coat.<br />

<br />
The effects in this are fantastic considering it most probably had a small budget...leads me to think that it may be a viral for a video game? Otherwise, brilliant shooting and clever little flips, I had to rewind a few times to work out where she was going!<br />

The guy who made this must have the patience of a Nick Park (Aardman Animations genius) because each person (500 in total) has to hold a different photograph (he developed 1,500 photos..maniac) in order for it to give the illusion that it is moving...to be honest I think he has too much time on his hands...apart from a photograph that is ;-/<br />

<br />
HE MUST HAVE A FOOT LIKE TRACTION ENGINE!!!! <br />
<br />
At least one team called The Hoops are through to European football. Shame on Celtic by being hammered by a bunch of part-timers (to be honest the Scottish League has held no interest for me in recent years) It is like watching two angry bears fight over squatting rights in the woods as a load of wide eyed little animals look on...oooohhhh we might nick a point off either of ye and that'll make our season...nah pointless.<br />
<br />
On the other hand, Shamrock Rovers have made a Europa League that would have only caught the attention of Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur fans much more interesting a viewing experience.<br />
<br />
This volley alone is worth about a million quid to The Hoops:<br />

And I missed that goal because I was reporting for ION on the Future Bright showcase for new emerging Irish Music talent at Crawdaddy's:<br />
