This Saturday, The Irish Sun leads with the headline “Ryan: I’m not Gerryâ€.  The Sun helpfully shows a picture of Tubbers and a picture of the late G Ryan, just in case we didn’t realise that they were two different people.
Did we miss something here? Is this really a news story that deserves to be splashed across the front page?
The Irish Daily Mirror staff appear to have a better grip on what makes a news story, since they lead with the story which is dominating the broadsheets – that of the Government ignoring the top financial experts they employed to give them financial advice. The Mirror is also giving away toys to promote Toy Story 3. We’ve heard that the film is very good and is enough to move grown men to tears.
Inside the Irish Daily Star is news that U2 have been the biggest earning stars in the music business over the last 12 months, raking in more than €100million.
Several of the tabloids have pictures of Wayne Rooney with his hands down his shorts and his wife Coleen with her finger up her nose. Class. The two are currently on holiday in Las Vegas.
There’s also a report that George Hook claims to be flattered that his Sky TV ads were mimicked by the Apres Match lads during the World Cup.
Really, George?
