Celebrity Hitch Hiker Hoofer Award: Martin & Murphy...

When Michael 'Lord of the Dance' Flatley received his 'Entertainer of the Decade' award in Dublin at the weekend, the event turned into a veritable Celebrity-Hitch-Hiker-O-Rama. For our money, gossip columnists Paul Martin & Eoin Murphy's double team on the Superhoofer ran away with our C.H.H. Award. But there were other contenders folks...

Paul Martin, Michael Flatley, Eoin Murphy

It seems that since we launched our Celebrity Hitch Hiker Awards, a few months back, the phenomenon of jumping into photos with stars has gone into total overdrive. Such is the demand to get a ShowBiz Ireland C.H.H. the great unwashed Press are even teaming up with rival publications to grab the honour... Well, when was the last time you saw a gossip writer from The Mirror posing with his sworn enemy from The Sun? Never! Thats when... We think Paul Martin, Michael Flatley and Eoin Murphy make a fantastic threesome. Ahem.

Niamh Flatley, Michael Flatley

The occasion was the Variety Club of Ireland's ceremony in The Four Seasons Hotel where Michael Flatley was honoured for entertaining the masses over the past decade. Only thing is, apart from appearing on a few talk shows, Michael Flatley hasn't really done much over the past decade. Just thought we'd throw that salient point out there Variety Club voting members... Hello! Have you seen his IMDB page?

Michael Flatley, Brendan Grace

Having recently appeared on the Richest People in Ireland list, Flatley had numerous well-wishers and back-slappers lining up to be his VBF at the ceremony. Hacks included... Amongst them was hilarious in the 80s comedian Brendan Grace, who did the whole "I'm soo drunk" character when the cameras turned on him. We haven't stopped laughing yet. We're bereft of ribs.

Gerry Ryan, Michael Flatley

Also among the hoards of Celeb Hitch Hikers honouring the fact that Flatley hasn't really entertained since 2000 and STILL GOT A FECKIN' AWARD, was new man to bachelorhood Gerry Ryan. No doubt Ger was inquiring whether the Superhoofer had ripped up his Little-Black-Book since he married Niamh and settled in Cork. No chance Ryaner.

Gerry Ryan, Harry Crosbie

Gerry in turn got CHH'd by the owner of The Point, Harry Crosbie - who has a strange habit of erecting enormous billboards with insider jokes printed on them to entertain his mates. Gas. We think giving someone an 'Entertainer of the Decade' Award who well, hasn't entertained for a decade, even funnier. Ah, to be rich and bored.

Etain Boyd, Jason O'Callaghan

Entertainment on the night was supplied by former ShowBiz Ireland editor Jason O'Callaghan and his popular Irish Rat-Pack tribute band... Since putting journalism far behind him aul Jayo hasn't looked back - at least someone got sense!

Michael Flatley

Congrats on the 'Entertainer of the Decade' Award Mick. Fantastic achievement considering all your best work was done in the 90s. Oh, and then there was the flute music CD... We strongly feel that Dustin The Turkey should have got this award. Why? At least then it might have been somewhat credible.
