I think I'll be there soon. Got my Irish passport. 'It's scary and horrifying here.' Mia would be following in the footsteps of fellow American expat, Rosie O'Donnell, who relocated to the Emerald Isle earlier this year. Pic:It's not the first time Mia has shown she is considering making Ireland her new home, with the Golden Globe winner last year saying she would move to Ireland if Donald Trump returned to the post of President of the United States of America.

Cat Deeley takes off wedding ring as she's seen for first time since holiday with male friend and Patrick Kielty split
The star was seen out for dinner with a male friend in Sitges in Spain at the start of the month BYE BYE BLING Cat Deeley takes off wedding ring as she's seen for first time since holiday with male friend and Patrick Kielty split CAT Deeley has taken off her wedding ring as she was seen for the first time since her split with Patrick Kielty, and trip with a male friend. Cat and Patrick - who share sons Milo, seven, and James, five - announced that they were separating last month. 6 Cat Deeley has taken off her wedding ring as she was seen for the first time since her split with Patrick Kielty, and trip with a male friend Credit: BackGrid 6 Cat was spotted without the bling on her left hand while stepping out to run errands in a very chic outfit Credit: BackGrid 6 The TV presenter has instead swapped it onto her right hand, in a nod to this new chapter of her life Credit: BackGrid 6 Cat and Patrick Kielty announced their split earlier this month Credit: Andres Poveda LTD Now photos show This Morning host Cat, 48, without her ring on her wedding finger. The TV presenter has instead swapped it onto her right hand, in a nod to this new chapter of her life. Cat was spotted without the bling on her left hand while stepping out to run errands in a very chic outfit. She had a crisp white shirt on and denim jeans, and wore her hair down in loose waves. The mum-of-two clutched onto her purse while out and about near the former couple's marital home. Cat looked sunkissed following her recent trip to Spain with a hairdresser pal. The star was seen out for dinner with a male friend in Sitges, Spain on August 2 - just days after she and Patrick, 54, split. Onlookers told the Daily Mail how the presenter looked 'crestfallen' during the 'difficult time'. The snaps obtained by the publication show Cat without her wedding ring as she and hairdresser pal Ben Skervin tucked into dinner at restaurant Chiringuito de Garraf. Patrick Kielty 'didn't feel like an equal partner' in failed marriage to Cat Deeley - admitting 'rough patches' they had to work through Ben is a celebrity hairstylist and has worked with the likes of the Spice Girls, Mariah Carey and Madonna. A fellow diner said: 'Cat looked a bit down and a touch crestfallen, not her usual spritely self, which is understandable given her marriage split. 'Her accent was recognisable to a number of Brits at the restaurant, which is popular with celebrities, and she had interacted with a few British kids also dining there 'She clearly needed to be around her nearest and dearest during such a difficult time.' Cat was a no-show at the funeral of Patrick's mother in March, his family 'knew the marriage was over'. One said: 'Whatever rockiness was going on in the marriage, something as momentous as his mother's funeral, you would make up even temporarily and just put your 'best face' on as we say in Northern Ireland. "Cat obviously knew how close Patrick was to Mary and she should have come to be by his side, a hand on his shoulder as he buried his mother. 'The fact that she stayed in London and presented This Morning on the day, it's not been forgotten. At the time of Mary's funeral, Cat insisted she'd stayed in London to be with their sons Milo, seven, and James, five.A spokesman for Cat told the Mail: "Cat remained at home to be there for her two young children before and after school on this very sad day." 6 Cat looked in the zone as she zipped around the shops Credit: BackGrid

Irish golf ace will ‘stick to the day job' after being treated to ‘best seat in the house for our Toronto landing'
LEONA Maguire landed in style as she got to join the pilots in the cockpit while touching down in Toronto. The Cavan native is due to compete in the Canadian Women's Open this week. 3 She's a frequent flyer with Aer Lingus due to her global playing schedule Credit: @leonamaguire 3 Who wouldn't want to try on the hat too? Credit: @leonamaguire 3 This was her spectacular view that so few people get to experience in their lives Credit: @leonamaguire The Solheim Cup star has shown signs of late that she's getting back towards top form after her game had abandoned her for a while. She placed inside the top-20 in four consecutive tournaments before disappointing at the Irish Open in her last outing where she wound up finishing tied-63rd. Yet despite that letdown at Carton House, the 30-year-old's mood remains in good spirits as she joked about getting to feel like a pilot for the day. She quipped: "Captain Maguire reporting for duty. "I clock up a lot of air miles but such a cool experience having the best seat in the house for our landing into Toronto today en route to Canadian Women's Open. "Thanks Aer Lingus as always but I think I'll stick to the day job!" Like the Irish Open, Canada's showpiece event rotates between several courses with this year's edition being held at Mississaugua Golf & Country Club. American Lauren Coughlin won last year's title whilst Maguire was never in contention - winding up in 57th place on five over par. This weekend just gone saw Maguire's top male counterparts Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry both net hefty six-figure sums for their week's work at the BMW PGA Championship in Maryland, USA. Lowry came in a tie for 23rd place while McIlroy was joint-12th with those placings good enough to earn cheques for $229,000 and $441,000 respectively. Golfer admits he overdosed before disastrous final round of BMW Championship Lowry saved his best for last as Sunday saw him produce a round of 67 (three under) after his patchy recent form had continued over the first three days. That improved his tournament total to one over par. He carded four birdies versus only a solitary bogey. Fans will be particularly encouraged by how he finally got going with his putter as the 38-year-old topped the strokes gained on the green metric whilst sinking 110 feet of putts. That was an important upturn in his play as tied-23rd ensured he qualified for the PGA Tour's season-ending Tour Championship for just the second time in his career. Lowry rose to 24th in the FedEx Cup standings. The top-30 acts as the cut-off point. That'll take place this week at East Lake in Atlanta, Georgia. McILROY MOJO Meanwhile McIlroy wound up level with Harris English and Ben Griffin on three under after shooting a par round of 70 on Sunday. The five-time major champion played well for the vast majority of the day but had a nightmare on the fifth and sixth holes as he registered consecutive double bogeys. Reflecting afterwards on his strong back nine, an encouraged McIlroy noted he fared better than he expected given he'd chosen to take three weeks away from the course prior to the BMW. He admitted: 'I wasn't expecting much to be in contention but there were glimmers of really good stuff in there this week. 'As I said I found a bit of a groove over those last nine holes. It is certainly something to build off going into the Tour Championship next week.' That competition wasn't as vital to the Down native since he'd long since secured his spot at the Tour Championship as he comfortably sits second in the qualification list behind only Scottie Scheffler. For what was his FIFTH victory on tour this year, the world number one bagged a mammoth $3,600,000.
