Daniel Radcliffe, The Boy Who Lived and Starred in the Harry Potter Movies, partied with some Irish Gaelic Football (soccer) players. And thanks to the miracle of Brit slang, we can say he "had a magical night on the piss."
"Hipster heaven" Electric Garden & Theater — "a brand new all round social space combining bar, restaurant, theatre, gallery & club" — is hoping to set itself apart from the rest of Galway's nightlife by promoting itself as being exactly the same.

Joe Biden, in character as always, made a terrible joke about lubrication yesterday at the White House reception for Irish prime minster Enda Kenny. It's not even funny in its un-funniness, really; it's just kind of... bad:
In case you forgot amid all the terrible news, today is St. Patrick's Day. Here's a photo of Kate Middleton passing out shamrocks to the Irish Guards. The ceremony dates back to 1901, and this is the first year Kate had the honor — previously, the Queen Mother was on shamrock duty. Of course, the most important part…
