ShowBiz Ireland - 9 Years & Still Getting Away With It!
Pass the adult diapers and passport to Florida, ShowBiz Ireland just entered into our ninth year. Oh Yes. We're still out there harassing celebrities, annoying stars and irking socialites. Set up on Paddy's Day waaay back in the year 2000AD, we are the world's oldest independent celebrity dedicated website. Up Yours Perez Hilton!

With some really bad editorial decisions made by Ray Senior, ShowBiz Ireland has been grafting away for nearly a decade now. Totally making it up as we stumbled along. Initially our scope was to end the international misconception that Ireland was a provincial backwater - hello, we're modern contemporary society. Less thatched cottage and pipe smoke, more handbags and gladrags. Less Clancy Brothers, more U2.

We've now relaunched as ShowBiz.ie and continue to find great amusement poking fun at the ever expanding celebrity obsessed media culture we helped to create. These days anyone can become famous for anything, and adorn the front pages of our nations' papers. Back when we started Bono would struggle to get a mention on a front page, and proper famous people would hide-out here as we had little or no press intrusion. Just Dermot Hayes! That was until we introduced Ireland to the Paparazzi and messed the whole thing up... Ahem, sorry about that.

Going forward ShowBiz.ie will try to keep-up with the rate of expansion of this little internet world and feed the growing appetite for our brand of celebrity production. We've gone interactive too folks, so now you can have your say... Just remember, we've always depended on our readers to tip us off when they spotted a celeb on the town, so keep us informed. Lately, we're getting more and more of your celebrity photographs sent in and published, as anyone with a digital camera can be a paparazzo these days... So, if you see a celebrity - Pap 'em!
