Bond Premiere Part Deux...
It seems we may have prematurely ejaculated our prognosis on last week's Quantum of Solace Premiere. For it was merely one-of-two James Bond launch nights. The first one last Thursday night was for the old fogies, the second one last Friday night was for the young bogies... Clever keeping the fogies and the bogies apart.

Wesley Quirke, Rosanna Davison |
Okay, so there were TWO James Bond Premieres on subsequent nights in Dublin last week. We were a little quick-off-the-mark saying that the first Irish one was nowhere as glam as the UK big budget extravaganza. Well it kinda was - but then the follow-up one last Friday night was a little more with-it featuring a younger bunch of camera friendly faces...

Wesley Quirke, Rosanna Davison |
Headed-up by Wesanna glam-bots Rosanna Davison & Wesley Quirke, the Halloween Premiere had a touch of James Bond class about it...Speaking of these two, Rosanna protested to the media that the couple hadn't in fact broke-up over her encounter with Jesse Metcalfe in Krystle a few weeks back. According to Rosie, Jesse acted all "sleazy" and forced her to sit on her knee for that mere quantum of a split-second her boy Wes walked into the room and spotted the handsome duo in a flirtatious clinch. Okaaaay. We'd like to see the CCTV footage to back-up that little explanation. Anyone buying it? Anyone??

Claudine Palmer |
Also at the Bond themed Bond Premiere (well what other theme could they go with?) was our total fav WAG Claudine Palmer. Without her Tallaght hubbie Robbie Keane around, Claudine was chaperoned to the 'do' by her mother Joan.
|
Claire King (Emmerdale), Rob Ellis |
Adding a touch of maturity to the hip young proceedings on the night was hot Emmerdale alpha female Claire King. The UK star was escorted at the Alfa Romeo sponsored event by Rob Ellis...
|
Enda Waters, Kathryn Thomas |
And speaking of escorts, TV presenter Kathryn Thomas had a Garda one... Not an official motorcade type one mind... Her fella Enda Waters just happens to be an actual Garda... Meaning he's in the Gardai Siochana... And he was her plus one... Her escort. Duh?
|
Brian Ormond, Pippa O'Connor |
Another hot couple out and about at the Premiere Part Deux was Brippa. Yup. Brian Ormonde and Pippa O'Connor took time away from domestic bliss and scaring horses to don their glad rags, jump on the good foot and boogie on down to The Savoy.
|
Sara Kavanagh |
Model Sara Kavanagh was at the black tie party sans her boyfriend Conor Buckley who was probably busy getting the afterparty at Krystle nightclub ready when we snapped her. And for those of you not up on your Intercert French; "sans" is Barry Egan's Sunday Indo speak for "without". At least we think it is?? We are sans French folks.
|
Collette Fitzpatrick |
Other guests on the night included bustier (is that more French?) clad TV3 hottie Collette Fitzpatrick. It was nice to see Collettzer out from behind a newsdesk and confidently filling-out that low-cut dress. Move over Andrea Roche, we've found a new unhealthy boob obsession.
|
Izabela Chudzicka |
Before we go we'd like to mention our favourite Pole Izabela Chudzicka, Channel 6's Jenny Buckley sans her fellow TV jockey Michelle Doherty (lovin' this sans buzz), actress Rachel Kavanagh and her actor Dad John Kavanagh, RTE stalwarts Baz Ashmawy and Aidan Power, and many more who attended Daniel Craig's second spy outing...
|
Jenny Buckley |
As indicated above, the James Bond themed party concluded at the Krystle nightclub afterparty party. It was an all black tie affair at the VIP club - so it all looked a little like a grown-up Debs... Thankfully, without the corsages and cummerbunds.
|
Wesley Quirke, Rosanna Davison |
Oh, Jesse Metcalfe wasn't invited to the James Bond Dublin Premiere or Krystle afterparty. Apparently he's too sleazy... Will we ever get to the real truth behind Jessegate? Funnily, Mischa Barton wasn't invited either! Don't cross The Rose Petal folks. Her power goes all the way to the feckin’ top... Shhhite. Think we just got added to her list.

Rosanna Davison |
Rosanna Davison: deadly... hot. Dum de dum dum dum de dum de dum dum dum de ne nee nee...
