Stars slump at IFTAs as tough times hit glitterati

THE tough times have started to hit the Irish glitterati with stars being forced to recycle dresses and shop at TK Maxx, and failing to get flowers from their boyfriend on St Valentine’s Day.

Brian O’Driscoll may have been in Rome at the weekend for Ireland’s rugby game against Italy but that seems like no excuse not to send his actress girlfriend a Valentine’s Day gift.

Amy Huberman shook her head when asked if Brian had sent her anything for Valentine’s, saying she’s sure he’ll make it up to her when he gets back. Not even a hint of “or else” in her eye.
