Tallafornia Puts The T in TV3... Love or hate TV3's choice of programming, there's no doubt that Ireland's second fav television station has its eyes on the No.1 spot. As they laid out their Spring Schedule stall The Convention Centre yesterday we even had the likes of Vincent Browne hanging with the Tallafornia tribe... Madeline Mulqueen, Jay Abbey We never thought TV3 would ever really become a serious challenger to RTE's dominance, but as we write this bit we have Vincent Browne on the box. Top man... Later, it will be over to Conan on 3e and Ireland AM on TV3 in the morn... Hmmmm, RTE who? Maybe Grainne Seoige was right. Nikita Murray, Natalie Geraghty, Kelly Donegan (Tallafornia) Yestereve TV3 launched their Spring Schedule 2012 at The Convention Centre with buckets of stars from their serious news stuff and rather more lite programmes. We are of course talking about the tanned cast of Tallafornia who seemed to grab all the attention at the party. Even Vinnie B fell for Kelly Donegan's charms. Phwoar. Kelly Donegan, Vincent Browne Apart from the Tallaght bunch vajazzled to within an inch of their lives, there was also the likes of Madeline Mulqueen and Holly Sweeney at the launch, we think they had parts in Celebrity Come Dine With Me. Saying that, not a sign of Paul Martin nor Brian Kennedy anywhere? WTF?? Tallafornia Cast In other news, Kirsteen O'Sullivan posed with her new Xpose chums Glenda Gilson, Karen Koster, and Lisa Cannon. And we got our first look at Laura Woods in TV3 mode... Nice... Side note: Noel Cunningham should be President. Seriously. Madeline Mulqueen, Holly Sweeney So there you have it folks, if like us you are finding your TV flicks are landing you more and more on Ireland's 2nd channel, don't be surprised. They're ramping up the ratings... What are RTE gonna do about it? Hopefully something more than grabbing Late Late Show guests from the RTE canteen. Again and again and again. We reckon last week’s show got such high rating as people were Tweeting how bad it was and inquisitive folk tuned-in to see that slow motion car-crash... Did you see the lovely girls bit? They were only short of bollards and Ryan saying: "of course, they ALL have lovely bottoms".

She looks lovely. Melissa February 01, 2012 - 13:42 You might find it a parody that one of the tallafornia cast is now with assets but if you got your facts right you'd know that Kelly was in miss universe ireland and was with Andrea Roche and then moved to Assets all BEFORE tallafornia. Don't see why people are so judgmental theyre young people enjoying themselves and having met them at one of their club appearances they're all lovely and up for a laugh! The show is entertainment it's edited a certain way, i say fair play to them and they should make the most of it! Marshall Matthewson – CNN HQ February 01, 2012 - 12:18 Looks like Vincent Browne is asking the hard questions to two Anglo Irish executives....eh sorry two Tallaght lads Friedrich Paulus – Encircled near Stalingrad January 30, 2012 - 08:31 Is Pippa O'Connor going to present a TV3 version of Mastermind? Felix Steiner – Stalingrad January 30, 2012 - 07:22 The second series of Tallafornia will be finished on location in Mountjoy. Roffle. Reinhard Heydrich – Bohemia & Moravia January 29, 2012 - 16:33 Amused to learn that at least 1 of the Tallafornia Howyaz is now a 'model' with Assets. Beyond parody. Sarah – Sarah January 27, 2012 - 19:01 Love Pippa's dress- v classy Robert Ritter von Greim – Hamburg January 27, 2012 - 17:27 The males on Tallafornia are reason enough to justify Ireland junking its policy of neutrality. Conscript them and send them to Afghanistan. Adam – Dublin January 27, 2012 - 12:44 Can't let these reality fools get anymore than the 15 minutes of fame coming their way. See they're doing appearances at clubs in Dublin and Wicklow this week, useless half wits! Go away! trt January 27, 2012 - 11:55 Jaysus dude, you go to the gym like so many of the rest of us. Whoopy do da. Do we really need to see you with your shirt off in public? Heinrich Himmler – Berlin January 27, 2012 - 08:04 Not sure why the Tallafornia cast look so happy - do they not realise that the show has been edited in a way to make them look as "Ah Jaysis Howyiz" as possible? Also, what on earth are Glenda Gilson and Laura Woods wearing? Claire – Dub January 27, 2012 - 04:06 Stop giving this useless council estate morons airtime please SHOWBIZ.IE – Recommended Links: January 27, 2012 - 00:58 TV3: www.tv3.ie Leave a Comment * Your name * Your email address (will not be published) Your location Remember me ? ?
