Tales From The Tabs

Former Miss World Rosanna Davison has hit the headlines this morning for her internet tirade against an unnamed rival model.

The outburst, posted on social networking sites Twitter and Facebook, included: “You would not believe what she said to Wes [Quirke, Davison’s boyfriend]. Is it possible to be that ugly and stupid? Surely God made some terrible mistake?” and, “Life must be tough when you look like a horse. Hey, we all know who I’m talking about. Shoulders ‘r’ us.”

JOE’s betting partner Paddy Power has opened a market on the identity of the unnamed horse-like “beauty”.

Unsurprisingly, perhaps, Glenda Gilson is listed as the 5/4 favourite, with Pippa O’Connor next best at 3/1, Kathryn Thomas installed as 4/1 and Louise Kavanagh marked up at 6/1 fourth-favourite.

Kavanagh, meanwhile, reckons it’s not her. She told the Irish Daily Star Sunday, “I really don’t know who Rosanna is talking about but Dublin is so small and there are plenty of backstabbers. Anywhere there is a group of girls there’s always a bit of bitchiness and drama behind the scenes.”

Girls, bitchiness, drama. Go figure.

Elsewhere, actress Amy Huberman is delighted that husband-to-be Brian O’Driscoll will be returning home from the Ireland rugby side’s tour of Australia and New Zealand unsullied by his experiences. The pair are to be married in Co Leitrim this coming Friday.

Ever the fatalist, Huberman says (on page 17 of the Star), “It’s one of those things – he played one of the most physical teams in the world and came away fine but will probably snot himself on some steps the night before the wedding.”
