Large crowds expected as Longford Variety Group rolls out the red carpet for ‘Who's That Behind the Mask?'
Longford Variety Group has been arguably Longford's chief proponent of community based groups and local charities for much of the last three decades. During that period, the group has accumulated in excess of €260,000 for a multitude of charitable bodies and schools. It's a feat the volunteer-run group proudly celebrates with this year's major summer fundraiser. That showcase has been dubbed 'Who's That Behind the Mask?'. It's an occasion that promises to be an evening like no other as a line-up of surprise celebrity guests and beloved local personalities don elaborate disguises, daring the audience to guess who's behind the mask before each big reveal. The evening will act as a timely prelude to the group's eagerly awaited annual fundraising spectacular which is set to return in November. Its corresponding 'This is Me' four night extravaganza saw the group raise a further €10,000 for a number of locally based organisations, the fruits of which were presented to a host of bodies earlier this year. 'This show is all about fun and mystery,' said Charlie Murray, Chair of Longford Variety Group ahead of next month's fundraiser. 'Every ticket sold helps fund vital programmes in our schools and supports the incredible charities that keep Longford communities thriving.' Who's That Behind the Mask? takes place on Friday, June 28, in the Longford Arms Hotel. Tickets are €15 (+ booking fee) and are available now from Kevin's Dry Cleaners, Dublin Street, Longford, or online via Eventbrite.

Demi Lovato Broke Out Her 'Camp Rock Knees' At Disneyland, And The Fans And I Think 'She Won The Internet'
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Celebrities love visiting Disneyland Resort as much as the rest of us, but when that celebrity is also a former Disney star, it's like the stars have aligned to give us something great. Such was the case when Demi Lovato recently visited the Happiest Place on Earth and brought her 'Camp Rock Knees' with her. If you've seen the Disney Channel movie Camp Rock once or a hundred times, you need no explanation. (If you haven't, get a Disney+ subscription and watch both it and its superior sequel immediately.) Demi Lovato's knees have become famous due to the TV feature, at least on the internet, and on a recent trip to Disneyland that she posted to TikTok she broke out the performative knees and the film's song 'This is Me' in various spots across the resort. Check it out. Needless to say, fans are here for this one. As a fan of the Camp Rock movies and of Disneyland, this is the best thing I've seen on the internet in quite some time. It's fun and funny, and I'm not the only one who thinks so. The replies to Lovato's video are full of comments loving this, and they're not just from fans but from other stars and major organizations. She did it. She won the internet. 👑 - GRAMMY Museum we cannot thank you enough for this Spotify Forreal - Olivia Rodrigo exactly what we KNEEded - matthewscottm I wanna go to Disknee Land 😩💖 - Vinny Thomas If you're not familiar with this iconic dance move, check out the performance of "This Is Me" from Camp Rock, and watch her pull the same move early in the song. While I love everything about this video, eagle-eyed fans might have noticed one particularly interesting shot that makes the whole thing even better. If you pay attention to the video, you'll notice one of the spots where Demi Lovato breaks out the knee bends is while she's walking along the track of Radiator Springs Racers, one of the best rides at Disney California Adventure. It turns out the ride briefly broke down while she was on it, requiring Lovato and her friend Ally Pettitti, who posted to TikTok, to be evacuated. It's one thing to break out the 'dis-knees' at Lovato calls them, on Pixar Pier, it's quite another to be able to do it in a place that most people don't. As a Disney celebrity, Demi Lovato probably gets special opportunities to see things most guests don't, but it's sort of hilarious that in this case, it happened because something broke down. Many Disney Channel stars have distanced themselves from the Mouse House after moving on in their careers and Lovato has some very justifiable reasons if she chose to do the same. As a fan, it's great to see her still embracing her Camp Rock youth, which so many clearly love.
