O'Grady Grabs An Old Pussy...

Channel 4 stalwart Paul O'Grady hooked up with his old drag-queen buddy Alan Amsby after The Late Late Show on Friday night. Ah, Lilly Savage & Mr. Pussy out on the town in Dublin – just like the good auld days folks... Tom Jones, Mick Hucknall and Jonah Lomu were also on Pat Kenny's guest list...

The Sexbomb himself, Mr. Tom Jones was also a guest of Pat Kenny's. Looking younger than his years, Tom sang for the Late Late audience and talked about a new song of his called 'Sugar Daddy' - written for him by Bono no less.

Mick Hucknall

Also performing on the show was everyone's favourite ginger crooner Mick Hucknall. New Zealand's All Blacks rugby legend Jonah Lomu was at RTE too to talk about his illnesses and immanent fatherhood. He also paid tribute to Limerick murder victim Shane Geoghegan...
