Last night the Sycamore Hotel held the launch of actress Amy Huberman's first novel Hello Heartbreak!

Fiance Brian O'Driscoll was there to support his future Mrs. as well as co-star Leigh Arnold. Siobhan O'Connor, Shane Horgan, super GLAM Victoria Smurfit, Paul Howard, Kevin Thornton and Cineal Saoil's FAV girl Laura Toogood were all in attendance!

The very talented Ingrid from Butterfly Style pulled Ms. Huberman's look together with a dress from Lara while the always glam and poised to perfection Laura Toogood wore black spray-on Versace trousers with gold and black stilettos, a grey cardigan, a white vest top and a couple of black layered necklaces and a rose scarf. All the ladies looked totally lovely!

West Coast Cooler Rose and Evian were on offer in the swank Temple Bar club as PR maven Joanne Byrne of Presence PR pulled off the event and made a lovely evening for Amy, her family, friends and supporters!

Celagutite Rank 30/6/09 - 6/7/09

Time for some more rankings! Let us begin.... All publicity is good publicity! People were talking this week about the glam and stylish hostess Hayley Rock letting her rack up 1582 points and slipping in to the number FIVE spot! Tall, blond, chic and connected - we've been fans of Miss Rock for a while. Quickly becoming the new International Irish 'It' girl and out shining Nadine Coyle, The Saturday's Una Healy is this week's number FOUR with 2009 points! Jet-setting totally glam Miss Rosanna Davison is at THREE this week with 2989 points, and she still found time for a night out with Mam and Dad to the Bruno premiere! We love this chica!! Glenda Gilson and her ever baffling love life got her the number TWO position, loads of column inches and 3129 points this week! We love ya GG, no matter what! Claire Tully's new official website, her BA-NANAS bod and her always smart, witty and interesting opinions in her column got her 4079 points and this week's number ONE slot! The rest of the countdown came in as follows - SIX the multi-talented AMY HUBERMAN, SEVEN her friend and co-star LEIGH ARNOLD, EIGHT was the adorable Niamh 'Nemo' Walsh, this week's NINE is DIANA DONNELLY and finally at TEN the glam SUZANNE McCABE.

Huberman the Heartbreaker

Golden blond hair, gorge blue eyes, leading role in a hit network show and 'the BOD' on her arm, what more could a girl want? A best-selling novel that is what!Amy Huberman's debut novel Hello Heartbreak is out now and it is just what every girl needs in her beach tote this summer time!Check out some excerpts from this totally fab, fun and girly romantic romp!

<<...Twenty something Izzy is fed up. She has split with boyfriend Cian, the dirty love cheat, and is sick of her job as a dogsbody at film company Lights, Camera, Action. If she was paid to write the script of her so-called life (working title: "Welcome to Dumpsville") it would definitely not include: baggy tracksuit bottoms and dread locked hair; her flatmate's ever-present lump of a boyfriend watching everlasting football matches on the living-room TV; ill-advised booty calls; panicky pregnancy tests; and, bumping into Cian and his new squeeze, Brenda, while looking like something the cat spat up. It definitely would include: sleek hair, sleek limbs (come to think of it, more-or-less sleek everything); a Jaffa Cake-eating rabbit called Dermot; a foul-mouthed gran with a heart of gold; Jonathan-absolute-total-ride-Cunningham And, of course...; a girl's best friend, Gavin. Since real life in Dumpsville is way weirder than anything she could make up, all Izzy can do is take a deep breath and hang in there...>>

<<...You’d think twenty-seven years would be enough time to wise up to the rules of love and loss, especially Rule Number 1: Do not, at any time, let him see how much he has hurt you. But no, Izzy Keegan was probably off doing sambuca shots when that lesson was taught. So, starting with public humiliation (that infamous blow-up with her Ex and his new woman … huge mistake), and taking in temporary insanity, rebound sex, and a night in a police cell along the way, Izzy has to make up her own rules for coping with heartbreak... Luckily she has friends who are there for her through thick and thin (even if ‘doing an Izzy’ is their new shorthand for completely losing it). And she’s got her foot in the door of the film business (though dogsbody wasn’t exactly the job she dreamt of doing). Now, all she has to do is put the dirty cheating love-rat behind her. You’d think twenty-seven years would be enough time to wise up to the rules of love and loss. Make that twenty-seven and a bit …>>

The book is amazing and Amy writes with all the girly-girl charm of Plumm Sykes, Jennifer Weiner and Sophie Kinsella! She also has a delicious literary sophistication that makes this novel more than just fun and entertaining but very readable. The Independent went so far as to say she writes "like Jane Austen on ecstasy"Reading about Izzy's public humiliations and romantical ups and downs is heartwarming and strengthening, Izzy is going through what all have of us have been through - times TEN!

Amy has said "Not everybody is going to like it," she adds, philosophically. "Not everybody is going to like me. Not everybody is going to like everything I do." We find this all VERY hard to agree with but suppose it could be true... "At the end of the day I am so proud of it. I'm not claiming it is Booker Prize material. I hope people like it and that's all I can hope for. All the literary critics may not but if Mary on the 47 bus does ... ."

Amy's humility shines through in her writing as well. Although she may never have become a crazed psycho-stalker like Izzy or a very public freak attack breakdown, you do get the feeling that this beautiful 30 year old, who seems to have the world at her feet, has had her own share of heart break. There are very honest and common emotions flowing through this book. The whole novel creates a connection with the reader, with every girl out in reader world, and it has to be said that in reality it is Amy, as the book's author, that you are connecting to.

Three Cheers For Miss Huberman!! Hello Heartbreak is a chick-lit triumph, and she should be very proud! Go grab a copy now, head down to the beach or in to your comfy chair and enjoy!

SUPER Celagutite Rank 16/6/09- 29/6/09

Sorry for the delay kiddies, SERIOUS I-T issues had as pulling our hair out these past two weeks but we finally bit the bullet and straightened it all out! Well this is a TWO Week version so lets jump right in!

At FIVE this time we have a new, and sure to be reoccurring entry into the countdown, Diana Donnelly with 7380 points, the new Miss Universe Ireland! Though she got a bit of press leading up to the night as a rumored favourite, in the days after the competition her face and name was everywhere! Congrats on your crown Diane and congrats on being catapulted into the Celagutite Stratosphere!

FOUR, with a just a few more notches at 7425 points and the help of her pet snake is the adorably spunky Emma Quinlan! I have undoubtedly seen Miss Q. in her knickers more than I have glimpsed myself, but with a body like that I say go for it!! Seemingly always up for a party or game for a laugh Emma doesn't need a boa constrictor to garner attention but hey, it doesn't hurt!

This time around 7900 point and in the number THREE position is one my fav's! Leigh Arnold is a gracious, talented and glowing lady and deserves every nice thing that is prnited about her! I think it is safe to say that she is quickly becoming Ireland's sweet hear and Cineál Saoil could not be happier!

Number TWO is super sexy glamazon Rosie! 10, 000 points in 2 weeks, WooHoo! Just within the last month Miss D. really has really seemed to take a big leap outside her comfort zone. She no longer seems like a beauty queen, she is showing us herself! Both with amping up the fashion stakes, keeping us all guessing about her and Wes and even having slightly cheekier sound bytes and quotes in the press, we like this new Rosanna!!

At number ONE with 10,700 points it is Amy Huberman! An 'It' girl, an actress, a fashion inspiration, a philanthropist and all around lovely gal, and now an up and coming author!! - we thinks we'll be calling BOD Mr. Huberman is she keeps all this superwoman stuff up! Congrats Ames!!

Rounding out the top 10 were Laura Toogood, Glenda Gilson, Sara Kavanagh, Pippa O'Connor and Hayley Rock!

We'll see you all again promptly on Monday and if you are really dying to know how the results are tabulated email me miss.emeraldapple@gmail.com :o)

Celagutite Rank 8/6/09 - 15/6/09

Welcome to Week Two!

It was sort of a slow Celagutite news week, but we are Ranking just the same! Let's dive right in, shall we;

Moving back just one spot at number FIVE, with 1525 points is the beautiful brainy Laura Toogood! Miss Toogood manages to look splendid in her most recent photo shoot while hitting the books hard! Must be all the running and those FiFlops she told us about! Good job Miss Toogood, always a delight!

With only 50 more points Laura's VBF, Rosanna Davison is at number FOUR with 1575! She stayed much more quite this week after a previous news-filled week but she still managed to get those page inches for being glam, fab an gorgeous! Cheers! In a rather large jump from last week number THREE is the gorgeous and talented Leigh Arnold with 2050 points. Rumors of a split with main man Marcus kept her name high in the news but they were just that - rumors - and the two are totally loved up and fine!

Just ahead of Leigh is her 'Bill' co-star Amy Huberman is number TWO with 3050 points! Her style, her engagement, her upcoming novel - and even a not quite so glam pic of her at a young age in the Herald - all helped her bump up her score this week! Adopted Irish Celagutite Michelle Heaton took a huge leap into the countdown this week and snatched the number ONE spot! With 6625 points - due mainly to her BFF duties as official cry-on shoulder to Katie "Jordan" Andrea-Price Miss Heaton was everywhere but, the revelation that she will now act as a fashion consultant and personal shopper to Dublin elite had some genuine Irish Fashionistas up in arms! Finishing up the Top 10 are as follows; Glenda Gilson dropped to the sixth spot with 1050 but hey - atleast that nasty break up seems to be media forgotten! Followed by Emma Quinlan then, Pippa O'Connor, Michell McGrath and finally "I'm to Sexy for my Beauty pageant" Louise Kavanagh at ten!
