Coleen Upstages Keith's Dinner...
Former Irish football hero Keith O'Neill held his charity benefit retirement dinner in The Burlington Hotel last week but the presence of a certain famous footballer's girlfriend was all anyone was talking about...
The world of ShowBiz is a strange place indeed! In the past in order to get a taste of the limelight you had to have some sort of talent whether it be singing, dancing, acting, presenting, sport, etc...
But these days the ability to shop seems to be talent enough to attract media attention from around the world!
At Keith O'Neill's benefit dinner last week all anyone was interested in was Wayne Rooney's girlfriend Coleen Mcloughlin even though there were talented performers like Brian McFadden and Nicky Byrne, football legends Bryan Robson and Gazza, and buckets of other interesting and famous people...
And we still can't work out why the world's media is so focused on this 19-year-old girl who has absolutely no other claim-to-fame other than being the girlfriend of a talented footballer?
Don't get us wrong, she's pretty and quite bubbly but over the two days she spent in Dublin she had 24 photographers from every newspaper and magazine in the UK tracking her every move...
Not even Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake got that type of attention when they visited Ireland last year - MAD!!
And poor Coleen must have been asking herself the same question as she was pushed by photographers to the point of frustration at Keith's dinner and the following day as went shopping at Brown Thomas.
Luckily she had old-school security pro Anto at her side at all times to keep the snappers at bay and boy did she need him!
But for our money the standout beauty at Keith O'Neill's dinner had to be Nicky Byrne's wife Georgina who looked stunning in a low-cut blue dress, showing off her new fantastic physique after recently becoming a fitness instructor...
