HANGOVER: PART 2 PREMIERE.

Finally, I'm allowed to indulge my tranvestism...Eddie Izzard would be proud.



Some Pics From Hangover: Part 2 Premiere



Myself and Andrea Roche...she was desperate for a pic so I obliged. I'm so nice.


Bernard Dunne and myself exchanging boxing tips.


That's a beard De Niro would be proud of...he might be out of the ring
but he's still a whippet.



What's a Premiere without the totty eh!?


Hot blond. Check.
Rabid monkey in sleeveless denim jacket. Check.


Chatting to ex Expose man Sean Munsanje. Sound guy.


Look it's Paul O' Grady. Wow.

The Week of The Icons - 'BOBAMA'


Apart from the clichéd pint of Guinness shot, the baby and old lady hugging, the Tome Cruise moment on the mobile phone, the Richard Pryor inspired speech, this was the highlight for me:

Great advert for BMW. Check out how thick the doors are!


First we get the Queen talking Gaelige, then Barack Obama gets a sesh on in the before unknown Ballygobackwards backwater of Moneygall, (I bet he was probably the first black man, never mind President of The United States to sup a pint in that pub!) now forever on the map as 'Obamaville' it was an incredible day for Irish pride. Can we organise more state visits please!? In the past fortnight I have completely forgotten all the acronyms; IMF, ECB , BOI, AIB, EMF, and it's just been positivity on the airwaves. And, how much better does that feel? WEll, the answer my friend is blowing in the wind (and fuck me it was windy yesterday especially when Barack and Michelle arrived in Ireland nearly blown off the runway and then greeted by Darby O'Gillmore and The Little People) ....Okay so I robbed that 'Blowin' line from a certain Mr Robert Allen Zimmerman...AKA Bob Dylan who is celebrating 70 years on this planet but Zimmerman is not ready yet for the Zimmerframe. A living legend is a term thrown around but he is the true embodiment. A chameleon of a man he is the only living artist among a select group (Cohen, Waits, Young, McCartney, Simon, Moore etc.) that stands head and shoulders above what is out today and like a complicated fossil he just doesn't want to be "got."

"Well I try my best to be just like I am, but everybody wants me to be just like them."

Pretty much sums him up. Happy Birthday Mr Zimmerman. And thanks.

Here are some of my favourite pics of the little Jew who knew.


Taken in Woodstock in 1968 this is possibly my favourite Dylan photograph. A large print hangs in the Morrison Hotel in Dublin and the first time I saw it I just stopped. It was taken by rock photographer Elliot Landy and one day when I have some money "it will be mine!"


Simple truth...either that or waiting for the bus.


Looking like Joyce or Rimbaud this could have been taken at the turn of the century.



Good hair. Better scarf.


Classic young Dylan.


With the legend Johnny Cash. Check out their duet 'Girl of the North Country' on
Nashville Skyline. Sublime.


Braincogs on fire.


With his son Jakob.

And after selling over a 1oo million albums, the Pulitzer Prize, Nobel Prize nomination, 20 million Google pages, over 30 studio albums and at least 500 songs what can you possibly choose as his greatest musical moment? This wins hands down:



Although, let's face it this is a close second:


Yes. That is Bob Dylan rapping with Kurtis Blow in 1986 but we all know that Dylan wrote and performed the first rap song way back in the 60s:

ONE IS GOING ON THE SESH!



Security is tighter than a Robin's ringpiece. Cordons left, right and centre in the Capital. Here are a few pics taken of O'Connell street and the surounding area. I was asked for ID three times and had my bags checked. Obviously I don't mind, but today was not a good day to be carrying around my rather extensive collection of 'Weather Ladies Wear Rubber' pornography.

I love a gate but this is offence-ive... Sorry.



"If I knew you were wearing the same dress I would have changed."


"Erm, now lads we're we all supposed to gather here?"
"Yes Pat, this two metre squared area is notorious for Ra heads."


It's unusual that there's so much security when she was already out last night banging yokes at a club in Ballyfermot!


"Oooh Phillip one is mashed!"

SUPERHERO FUN RUN IN PHOENIX PARK


Batboo...I mean Babes!


The Super Family...check out Clark Kent (Dad) in the background. This lady made the Super Dog costume herself. This dog was HUGE but brilliantly friendly...there's a clip of me chatting to him in the video below...he was chilled cos he would kick my ass no problem!



Supergran? Looks more like the guy in Total Recall :-/


Super Smurf! (I thought she was Super Sperm...hunting for an Ovary!)


Out of Bat Breath?! This little dude looks a bit like Chris from Family Guy.


Little Bat Dude and his Mother aka...Super Mummy! Genius.


Even Obama and co. were getting in on the act!

Is a bird? Is it a plane?

Noooooooo, it's me dressed up as in a glorified onesy that is otherwise known as Batman Light, The Boy Wonder, the Mikey Graham of the Superhero world...Robin!

Reported for Entertainment.ie on the Superher Fun Run raising money for Our Lady's Children's Hospital in Crumlin. The weather was fantastic (I'm sure I spotted Gerry Fleming aka Met Eireann Man keeping the rain off!) and it was amazing to see some of the efforts that people went to and for such an incredible cause.

Here is the video:

They Came, They Saw, They Conquered

Here is my interview feature with the two guys (James Wan and Leigh Whannell) who created the first Saw movie and which has since become a torture porn phenomenon that has grossed nearly $900,000,000 dollars. That is insane, but as the lads said the studio money men just sit their counting the profits waiting for more unwilling victims to become part of Jigsaw's plans. I met the lads in the U2 Clarence Hotel and they were beaming smiles on legs...their new movie called Insidious is out today and cost only $800,000. It has already grossed over $35m at the US Box Office. Unreal. No wonder they're all smiles.

Just click on the pic:



"Whatever you do, DON'T shout cut!"

And, Insidious isn't the only horror being inflicted on us today...Will (you marry me) and Waif celebrate their nuptials across the water...If two Jack Russells were getting married I would happily wish them the world of good especially if i was getting the day off! Good luck to them they seem pretty down to earth...well for people who have Granny's in Palaces I suppose. And because I have been caught up in the romance of it all, here is a wonderful clip of Wills and Kate talking about how they first met...my eyes are welling up just thinking about it...awwwwww

Sometimes these flash mob adverts get on my tatties, but this is actually very funny. Prince Harry posted this video on his Facebook page saying, "this is what it's really going to be like!" His lookalike in the video is brilliant....and Camilla Parker Bulldogs is pretty good. Dancing up the aisle to "House of Love" by East 17 is a lot more palatable than domestic violence specialist Chris Brown...those chino wearing bell-ends in that other famous Youtube monster hit melted my head.



Things I learned this week...

Pigs can have unfeasibly large bollocks. Lord help us, but how does this fella sit down...although they probably pop up in front of him like a footstool :-/

John Sullivan R.I.P.

Very sad to hear the news over the weekend of the death of a comedy legend. He is the man who gave us one of the greatest comedy characters Del Boy Trotter. A character up there with Homer Simpson as far as I'm concerned and nearly as influential especially on a wee big toothed, side parting, nobbly knee'd, short pants wearing wee man like myself. Every Friday or Saturday I loved to sit and watch Only Fools and Horses, and catch the "Rodney, you plonker!", "Mange tout" "ruby murray" "Dave" and any number of legendary catchphrases that Sullivan engraved in comedy lore in between trying to hear the jokes because my Mum and Dad would be wailing in laughter. There was a cracking piece in the Mail about the genuine pleasure of Sullivan's comedy...it took the piss but was never snide.

He also gave birth to a very special little three wheeler...one day Rodders, we'll be millionaires!

One of my favourite scenes was the chandelier. As many of his stories came from his Dad, a plumber in London, this is supposed to have happened. All of the best comedy comes from truth and one of the reasons why OFAH was s o successful is because of the believable characters.



And this wasn't far behind...

VIDEO KILLED THE RADIO 'STAR' (!?)


Although in this situation I hope that I will be able to make clips until me hair tis greay and my bowels run astray. Here's a clip of a brand spanking new addition to Entertainment.ie called I-ON (as in "eye on" geddit? very clever, ye see all those years at Uni paid off!) that is a video magazine hosted by yours truly and featuring a ton of comedy, music, movie, exhibitions and events and the punters who attend. It will be a great craic and obviously the most important people are yourselves, so if we stop you for a chat say hello! Gonna start in the Capital and then work our way around the country.

This one is all about Fast & The Furious 5 - Rio Heist. I went along to the premiere party to speak to the fans of the monster motor movie.

WARNING: This clip features gratuitous boobs, (Georgia Salpa and hot blonde) even more gratuitous attempts at comedy, loads of fans, clips from the movie, and to top it all...a fantastic Gardai outtake....stay to the end...it's gas! Wooooop Woooop!

So, please give this video some love on youtube and pass it on if you can :-)

Fankooooo xx

Heard Prendeville is back on air this morning. Was thinking of cracking one off in public and I might get myself back on the radio...Can't afford a plane so the local double decker bus will have to do. Now where did I put that dirty mac?

So to celebrate his return...I was going to suggest Return of the (dirty) mac by Mark Morrison, but I think this one is more appropriate:

OOOPS!!!!!!!!!!

I know that you have to make videos in advance, but this managed to get out and make Martin Johnson look like an even bigger ignorant ape than he is...sweet.

And no wonder they lost. Look at all the forward passes!

I plan to start my day with a bowl of gin and cornflakes, Riverdance myself to the bookies, wade through the dyed green river to a hooley, catch the eye of the highest ranking farmer's daughter, fight bare-knuckle for her honour in a hay bail cage and then finish the day off with a set-dance. So, between the jigs and the reels to pre-empt my stereotyped drunken Irish behaviour, I will not have time to update this blog on Drunken Day.

HAPPY PADDY'S DAY

Patriotic sweets. "Amhrán na Bean"

Here is a selection of videos that will hopefully amuse one:


Possibly my favourite Simpson episode:


Here's a Paddy's Day greeting from a very early U2. This looks like it was filmed around the same time Angela's Ashes was based :-/ Watch the Edge playing football it's hilarious!



The Muppets in Aran sweaters = Comedy Genius.



And for the alcoholics:

I will never complain about the weather here again. Watch as this town is destroyed in less than 5 mins. The speed and power is frightening.

FINALLY GOT THE HAIR CUT.




ALL HAIL MING!

The most honest television advert I've seen...




...and the most honest poster.

This is from a while back and is still the greatest representation of Fianna Fail (no fada is deliberate)

What a legend. I'd happily give this woman my vote. Jaysus, at least crime levels would drop!

Check this out.

As passersby ignore a gang of thieves robbing a jewellery store in broad daylight, out of the corner of the picture runs a red-riding hood figure wielding a hangbag and starts bashing the scum-bags over the head!



Reminds me of one of my fave shows as a kid:

BTW, the theme song was also sung by a certain Big Yin :-)

Well it is Erect...I mean ELECTION time! Jesus, I've been spending to much time alone at this keyboard.

So, in keeping with the saucy, sexy and downright debauched themes of Lenny's Logbook, I will be featuring some decidedly scandalous features and commentary on the forthcoming elections.

Starting as I mean to go on. After posting the 'Orgasm Voting' campaign yesterday. A tactic that they used in Spain to attract young people to the ballot box, I have been researching on how other countries have been doing it (voting that is). Let's face it, the posters that currently grace our lampposts and because of the wind - our streets, front gardens, and windscreens (I remember a woman calling into the Rooster once who nearly crashed because Dan Boyle landed on her windscreen on the way to work. Don't worry it wasn't the real Dan Boyle...the car would've been a right off :-S). Our politicians look like the cast of Orcs from the Lord Of The Rings. God, they are the ugliest cretons so it's lucky that looks don't matter and they are amazing, self-sacrificing humans willing to lead the country as best they possibly can. Take a tip from the SATC ladies - USE PHOTOSHOP PEOPLE! As Ricky Gervais said, "The people who worked on the Sex and the City 2 posters deserve an award." He's right, because if they weren't touched up it would have looked like an advert for Last Of The Summer Wine.

Anyhoo, here's a few tips for how we can campaign in this country:



1. Turn heads. Especially mens. Obviously, don't turn up to vote with NO PANTS on. Unless you live in West Kerry, I hear it's the norm there.


2. I have no idea what this means. It's a naked woman with a pen. That's all that you need to know.


3. American Free Speech is in the constitution. "America...F*ck Yeah!"


4. Again, no idea what this means. But, I guarantee her health and education legislation changes have incredible foresight.


5. Now, this man won't f*ck your economy. Can't say the same about your daughters :-/

WE have a lot to learn from the Spanish when it comes to advertising our Election. Although they seem to have mixed up the L with an R. Ooh er missus!

Did you check out the premiere of Boardwalk Empire last night?

Directed by Martin Scorsese and with the jittery bug-eyed Steve Buscemi in the lead this could only be good.

However, I couldn't help thinking of the 'Beer Baron' episode on The Simpson's. There is a character on Boardwalk Empire who looks based on Rex Banner!


"To alcohol. The cause of, and solution to all of life's problems."


One of the greatest episodes ever in my opinion.

Here it is in full. Picture is a bit ropey, but if you have twenty mins spare it's worth the eye-squinting.

I'M ALIVE!!!!!!!

Apologies for the rubbish blogging but I've been washing my hair a lot lately and once the spell of the Herbal Essences shampoo and conditioner casts it's spell on me I find it impossible to leave the shower as I am engulfed by a follicle orgasm...And DON'T get me started on my Magnum ice ceam time...jaysus shut the windows, pour a hot bath, phone off the hook (well on vibrate who owns a landline these days apart from the police and fire brigade??!?)

So, anyhoo I am still in existence on this planet Earth and for all my three readers (although this number has more than likely dropped to a half...thanks Mum I know your there for me ) I am truly sorry...although apologies are all over the news this week with the Scotsman and the hairy one from Sky Sports getting the sack over their untiring campaign work for Women's Rights.

Is it any surprise that a man who looks like a block of thick shit granite with a cough of blond spurt on top and a man so hairy that he needs not the use of gloves or even a shirt in the winter turn out to be ignorant bullies who think that acting like a kid in a playground who really fancies a girl but thinks the best way to get her to like him is to bully her and using chat-up lines that would be embarrassing in a school disco should be bumped off the telly?

The more I read about them the more I realise how hated they were by ALL the crew - male and female. No surprise how this stuff got leaked then.

Andy Gray has gone back to live in Bedrock. And, I hear Richard Keys has headed off for a twelve week 'Help With Hairy Hands' program at Saint Clabert's. ("I really shouln't be here!")

Here's a few vids that sum up the week:



Some classic Apres Match action:



Well I suppose they learned from the best:



Check out what I got up to last night!
