Sinead O'Connor biopic in the works

A biopic of the late Sinead O'Connor is rumoured to be in the works. Variety has learned a movie about the life of the Nothing Compares 2 U singer has been commissioned by See-Saw Films, who produced Slow Horses and The Power of the Dog. The film will tell the story of the early life and career of the Bray musician, who died in 2023 at the age of 56, her rise in the music world, and how she used her platform to challenge powerful institutions. The biopic aims to capture the story of a young artist whose talent and activism left a lasting global impact. Behind the project is Irish production company ie: entertainment, which executive-produced the critically-acclaimed O'Connor documentary Nothing Compares, and worked with the singer in the process, alongside fellow Irish banner Nine Daughters (God's Creatures, Lady Macbeth) and See-Saw Films (Slow Horses, The Power of the Dog). Irish pop and rock singer and musician Sinead O'Connor (Image: Star Tribune via Getty Images) Nine Daughters and See-Saw reunite having previously collaborated on Ammonite. Sinead was one of Ireland's most influential cultural figures, who rose to international fame with her 1990 album I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got, featuring the global hit Nothing Compares 2 U. The track earned her a Grammy, multiple international awards, and made her the first woman to win MTV Video of the Year. Beyond her music, Sinead was a vocal activist, addressing issues such as sexism in the music industry and abuses within the Catholic Church. Her 1992 appearance on Saturday Night Live, where she tore up a photograph of Pope John Paul II, remains one of her most-discussed moments in television history.

The film aims to capture the story of a young artist whose talent and activism left a lasting global impact. It comes after last month her father Sean revealed he visits her grave every week. The 87-year-old told Oliver Callan on his RTE Radio 1 show: "When Sinéad passed, I cried my eyes out for a fortnight. I still miss her," he told Callan. "Of course it's a comfort (the outpouring of grief by the public), but Sinéad had two personas. "One was in the public arena and the other was with her family and I saw her funeral as being lovely for her fans. Sean O'Connor with Oliver Callan "At a personal level, I've never had publicity in respect of Sinéad and it made it all the more hurtful for all of us when she died. "I visit her grave every week... and we have a conversation and I bring her up to date." The radio presenter asked what he did for Sinéad when "the fame part was cruel to her", and he replied: "You can't do anything except be there. "Sinéad could be outrageous in the public world and she could be outrageous in the family, she could be cranky. In the end I always had compassion for her, she was always on the edge. "We got on very well, most of the time, sometimes she'd fall out with me." He also recounted the happy memory of the last time he saw Sinéad when they took a three-night holiday in Wexford and said that having so much family around him helped when she died. "It was a sad time, the extent of the family around me helped," he added. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest news from the Irish Mirror direct to your inbox: Sign up here.

National Lottery reveals which Oasis star's name is luckier

As Oasis prepare to make their long-awaited return to Irish shores, the National Lottery has taken a deep dive into the historic data of previous winners. It turns out the Gallagher rivalry extends right into the jackpot stakes, with the lottery discovering which brother's name is luckier. The data doesn't lie, and it revealed that the winner in this race is Noel. The name Noel is luckier than Liam. Pic: Emmett/Fear PR/PA Wire Since 1988, players named Noel have appeared as winners of high-tier prizes 18% more often than those named Liam. This means that the Noels come out on top ahead of the Liams in this Gallagher rivalry. If you happen to be from Mayo, like the duo's mother Peggy Gallagher, you're certainly not 'looking back in anger'. Wednesday's jackpot is an estimated €15million. Pic: Shutterstock. The county has produced a whopping 209 National Lottery winners since its inception in 1988, giving a new meaning to 'west is best'. With the band back together, and the nation gearing up for a nostalgia-fuelled singalong, the National Lottery is tipping its hat to all past winners, especially the Noels, Liams, and indeed victorious Mayo locals. Meanwhile, this Wednesday's Lotto Jackpot rolls to an estimated €15million.

Darragh O'Dwyer, National Lottery spokesperson said: 'With Oasis returning to Irish stages, we thought it was the perfect time to explore how the Gallagher rivalry plays out in our own records. 'Looking at historic data, we've seen more high-tier wins associated with the name Noel than Liam, an interesting coincidence that adds a fun twist to the excitement around the band's reunion. 'Whether you're a Noel, a Liam, or from Mayo like the Gallaghers themselves, it's always fascinating to see the stories behind our winners.' Nearly 30 cent in every €1 spent on National Lottery games goes back to 'Good Causes' in the areas of sport, youth, health, welfare, education, arts, heritage and the Irish Language. In total, more than €6.5billion has been raised for 'Good Causes' since the National Lottery was established 37 years ago. In 2024 alone, €239.3million was raised for local 'Good Causes' in communities across Ireland. The National Lottery is only for those aged 18+ and they urge people to 'Support Responsibly'.

Jeff Bezos wants wife 'front and centre' of next Bond film

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos reportedly is 'obsessed' with making his wife 'front and centre' of the next James Bond film. The multi-billionaire wants his wife, Lauren Sanchez, to be cast as the next Bond girl and considering Amazon now own the rights to the franchise, it could very well happen. Today's top videos STORY CONTINUES BELOW The couple got married earlier this year in a huge event that took over Venice in Italy. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos reportedly is 'obsessed' with making his wife 'front and centre' of the next James Bond film. Pic:Now, he wants her to be one of the main faces of the next Bond reboot. A Hollywood insider told Rob Shuter's newsletter: 'He's obsessed. This isn't just fantasy casting – Jeff wants her on screen, period.' Rob Shuter is a well-known British-American journalist, gossip columnist, magazine editor, talk show host, and author.

But she's Jeff's muse, and when you spend $8 billion, you get what you want.' Amazon acquired MGM Studios for $8 billion back in 2021, giving one of the world's richest people a lot of power over what will go on in the 26th instalment of the franchise. The multi-billionaire wants his wife, Lauren Sanchez, to be cast as the next Bond girl and considering Amazon now own the rights to the franchise, it could very well happen. Pic: Marco Bertorello/AFP via Getty Images Lauren is a former journalist turned author, who also has a pilot's licence and is the founder of Black Ops Aviation. Casting her as one of the leads in the next Bond movie would no doubt incite a fair bit of fury from 007 fans. The film is currently in development, being written by Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight and directed by Dune's Denis Villeneuve. Daniel Craig as 007. Pic: Danjaq/Eon Productions/Kobal/REX/Shutterstock It is still unknown who will be the next James Bond after Daniel Craig ended his journey with the character in 2021's 'No Time To Die'. Aaron Taylor-Johnson and James Norton have been rumoured as frontrunners for the part, while Paul Mescal's name has also been thrown into the mix. However, The Hollywood Reporter recently reported that Scott Rose-Marsh, a red-headed 37-year-old, was 'brought in sometime in late June to read sides from 1995's 'GoldenEye', presumably for just-hired director Denis Villeneuve'. The relatively unknown actor's biggest credits so far are 'Krays: Code of Silence' and 'Wolves of War'. According to THR, Scott was given the instruction to not 'impersonate a previous Bond'. When Daniel Craig was initially cast as the iconic spy, there was initial backlash over his blonde hair – which was seen as a drastic change to the character's original description. If THR's rumours are true and Scott lands the role, it will be interesting to see the reaction to the first red-headed 007. The Bond reboot has a tentative release date set for 2028.
