ex-Westlifer Brian Mcfadden eist voogdij over kinderen
ex-Westlife-zanger Brian McFadden is woest na het zien van de beelden van zijn ex-vrouw Kerry Katona, waarop zij cocaine snuift, terwijl hun twee dochters thuis zijn. De zanger zou in gesprek zijn met advocaten om te kijken of hij de volledige voogdij over de kinderen kan krijgen.
De kinderen Molly (7) en Lilly Sue (7) zouden in een andere kamer hebben zitten spelen op het moment dat hun moeder Kerry Katona high werd. Brian was zeer van slag toen hij dit hoorde en met eigen ogen zag. Brian is inmiddels verloofd met zangeres Delta Goodrem en zij zou er akkoord mee gaan als de kids bij hun komen wonen. McFadden wil niet dat de kinderen nog langer bij Kerry blijven

Brian wants the girls to live with him and sexy Delta
22nd August 2009 By Jerry LawtonSCANDAL-hit
Kerry Katona fuming ex-husband is planning to take their two children to live with him in Australia.
Singer Brian McFadden, who lives in Sydney with his pop star girlfriend Delta Goodrem, is flying to Britain within the next few days.
Worried Brian, 29, has told pals he will now seek custody of daughters Molly, seven, and Lilly-Sue, six.
The former Westlife star has called in lawyers to launch his legal battle.
He is said to be at photos of Kerry, 28, snorting a white powder thought to be cocaine at her home in Wilmslow, Cheshire, as the girls played downstairs.
Brian will fly in from the US, where he has been working on new songs, to be with his daughters. He would need court permission for the girls to live permanently with him and Delta, 24.
A source close to Brian said: Nothing has happened yet. It depends on what happens when he gets to England.
Kerry,s former publicist Max Clifford told an Australian newspaper: Brian McFadden will possibly be attempting to get custody, as he has done in the past.
Pals say losing her two eldest children could push mum-of-four Kerry over the edgez. A family friend said: She could not bear for them to be so far away.
Police and social services are due to quiz Kerry over the pictures when she returns from a holiday in Tenerife.
Meanwhile, it was revealed the hard-up star is so desperate for money she arranged to be snapped topless on a beach for a share of the royalties. A pal said last night: That,s a new low for her.
September 05, 2009 02:00pm .BRIAN McFadden has revealed plans to delay his wedding to Delta Goodrem so he can return to Ireland to look after his daughters.
McFadden wants to move to Ireland to live with children Molly, 8, and Lilly Sue, 6, for up to a year.
The former Westlife singer, now engaged to Goodrem, was speaking for the first time since former wife Kerry Katona was engulfed by a drugs scandal.
In an extraordinarily open interview, he told of his heart-felt plea to Katona for temporary custody of their two children.
``Today I made a plea bargain. Neither of us can afford to go another year in the courts in the UK,'' he told a live TV chat show in Ireland.
``She gives me the kids and I bring them back here (to Ireland) and me and my mum will look after them.
``Let her go sort her life out, get whatever problems she having, she needs to go get them fixed, and if in six months to a year's time, if she's got her life together, they can go back.''
Revealing he had not spoken to Katona in four years, he told of his despair at his children's ``unstable environment''.
The girls live with their mother and her husband Mark Croft in north west England.
Katona, a former Atomic Kitten singer was secretly recorded snorting cocaine in the home last month.
Her daughters are believed to have been home at the time.
Asked why he was living in Australia when he feared for his children, he said: ``My career is destroyed here, in the UK and Ireland. ``It just is. It's just the way it is over everything that's happened.''
Kerry Katona's ex-husband Brian McFadden has revealed that he has lost his custody fight for their children for a second time.
The Westlife star battled to take Molly 8, and Lily-Sue 7, into his care after Kerry was filmed allegedly snorting drugs.
But the singer has now told the Daily Telegraph the court ruled against him. He said: "It is over again. It actually was finished a couple of months ago. I just have not said anything about it.
"I have had two battles now and unfortunately I have lost both of them. It is twice I have gone to court and spent a lot of money and lost."
Brian also revealed that he had spent Christmas with his girls and that all seemed well with Kerry and the girls "at the moment".

15.09.2009 Westlife 3 Piece Perfume Gift Set - Limited Supply!
The first fantastic fragrance from Westlife is available in a gift set with a 100ml body lotion and 100ml shower gel for only £19.95!
After continually being asked by fans both on their websites and in person as well as in interviews what their favourite female fragrances were, the boys decided that perhaps they could develop a fragrance specially for the fans to thank them for their continued support over the last ten years.
Taking inspiration from their favourite feminine accords and with creative input from expert perfumers, Westlife was created.
The light sparkling and feminine fragrance opens with fresh crisp top notes of uplifting lemon, bergamot and blackcurrant leaf, enriched by a full floral heart of rose, geranium, white lily and heady jasmine transcending to a softly sweet and powdery base of vanilla pod and white musks.

Westlife's dream to make male scent
Westlife have revealed they plan to create a male fragrance, hot on the heels of their new female scent.
The Irish chart-toppers - Nicky Byrne, Kian Egan, Mark Feehily and Shane Filan - launched Westlife X in Dublin, celebrating their ten-year anniversary in the pop business.
Despite having to deal with the devastating loss of his dad on November 3, Nicky was happy to promote the fragrance, saying: "We'd love to do an aftershave at some point, obviously - we'd wear it then, wouldn't we, ourselves? So yeah, down the line, we'll start small and see where we go with this."
heeft een evenwichtig karakter: hij is niet snel boos en aandacht en liefde worden door hem gemakkelijk gegeven en ontvangen. Hij is vrij meegaand. Willen mensen daarvan misbruik maken, dan hebben ze een probleem: als hij eenmaal boos is dan gaat dat niet zomaar weer over. In een dergelijke boze bui zegt of doet hij soms dingen waar hij later spijt van kan krijgen.
Hij is zeer gesteld op gemak en comfort. Hij ontspant het liefst in een omgeving, waarin hij van alle gemakken voorzien is. Als het aan hem zou liggen dan vermijdt hij moeilijke en/of spannende situaties. Hij moet zichzelf soms dwingen de meest noodzakelijke dingen te doen.
In zijn werk is hij geduldig en rustig. Hij gaat vaak langzaam te werk. Het is voor hem van belang dat alle feiten boven tafel komen. Hij is een doorzetter: hoe lang het ook duurt, hij zal de resultaten krijgen die hij wil.
zijn mensen met een uitgesproken voorkeur voor afwisseling. Zij houden van reizen, van het zien van nieuwe dingen en het ontmoeten van nieuwe mensen. Het interesseert hen weinig hoe lang iets meegaat, als het hen maar stimuleert. Spelletjes vinden zij altijd leuk - als ze maar snel gaan.
Zij hebben een goed verstand en een snelle manier van denken. Zij vinden het leuk om nieuwe dingen te leren, hetzij uit boeken, hetzij van mensen. Duurt het echter te lang voordat er een antwoord op hun vragen komt, of is het antwoord te moeilijk, dan verliezen zij snel hun aandacht.
Zij zijn speelse personen, met wisselende stemmingen. Zij zullen nooit lang verdrietig of ongelukkig zijn: zodra er iets nieuws of interessants langskomt zijn zij hun stemming alweer vergeten. Hun grootste vijand is sleur en de daarbij behorende verveling.
De Kreeft is een emotioneel type en gevoelig voor de subtiele manieren waarop mensen met elkaar communiceren. Als de lucht gevuld is met onplezierige gevoelens, dan voelt hij dat. Hij heeft een grote behoefte aan emotionele steun en wilt steeds weten dat degenen van wie hij houdt, ook van hem houden. Hij vindt het belangrijk zeker te weten dat er voor hem gezorgd wordt en dat wat er ook mocht gebeuren, hij toch altijd naar een beschermde plek kan terugkeren. Als zijn fundamentele behoeften echter onbevredigd blijven, dan zal hij in zijn schulp kruipen en zich onzeker gedragen. Een onzekere Kreeft kan de zelfzuchtigheid zelve zijn, net zoals een Kreeft die zich veilig voelt uitermate genereus kan zijn. Hij is gehecht aan de oude vertrouwde dingen en waarschijnlijk heeft hij een stille plek die alleen van hem is en waar hij heen kan om alleen met zijn eigen gedachten te zijn. Wat het leven hem ook mag brengen, een van zijn eerste stappen in een nieuwe omgeving is ongetwijfeld het zoeken naar een dergelijke plek.
De Weegschaal is warm en gevoelig en verkeert graag in het gezelschap van mensen. Hij houdt er totaal niet van om ongeacht welke reden dan ook buiten de groep te vallen. Hij kan bogen op een vrij sterke wilskracht, en blijkt dan ook vaak degene in de groep die de dingen in gang zet. Zeer vaak vindt hij het echter moeilijk een besluit te nemen. De reden is dat hij van ieder probleem duidelijk beide kanten ziet en dat voor hem de keuze tussen deze twee mogelijkheden dus niet zo simpel kan zijn. Daardoor kan hij soms pas besluiten als het al te laat is. Wanneer twee anderen het met elkaar oneens zijn, maakt zijn begaafdheid om beide kanten van een beslissing te overzien hem tot een uitstekende vredestichter. Een aantal mensen met de Zon in Weegschaal uit een andere kant van dit teken. Zij nemen graag aan wedstrijden deel en genieten van onenigheid en confrontaties onder vier ogen met andere mensen.
Westlife singer Mark Feehily announced his engagement last week on Twitter.
The star and his boyfriend Kevin McDaid got engaged on their fifth anniversary. They have not revealed a date for their civil partnership.
Feehily tweeted: "Hi guys,ITS TRUE!!! Myself & Kevin are engaged!! We are so happy! Exciting times ahead,thanks for all ur kind words! Lotsa love,Mark&Kevin x"
The singer kept his sexuality a secret until he began dating McDaid in 2005.
He recently paid tribute to the late Boyzone star Stephen Gately, who was the first member of a boyband to come out.
Gately announced he was gay in 1999, at the height of Boyzone's fame.
Following Gately's death in October, Feehily said: "Stephen was extremely brave. He was the first member of a boyband to come out, and, in hindsight, it helped me and probably lots of other gay lads to understand their sexuality and come out.
"Every time a celebrity who is admired by millions of people comes out, it's one more blow to any negative stereotype out there."
Westlife singer Mark Feehily has dismissed rumours that he plans to marry his gay partner
The gay artist met his partner, a member of former boy band V, Kevin McDaid, last year, and despite being engaged, insists there are no wedding bells yet.
He told the Irish Independent, "There are no wedding plans. There was never any wedding plans, it was totally picked out of the sky.
The star highlighted Canada, where gay marriage is legal, as an ideal holiday destination, but said he would not go there to get married, "I might go to Canada for a holiday, who knows, but not to get married.
"I may get married one day, but there is no notion or plans now."
He was speaking with fellow band mates at an event to raise money for Irish Autism Action
Mark Feehily has claimed that becoming a gay icon has been his biggest challenge so far
Gay Westlife star Mark Feehily has claimed that becoming a gay icon has been his biggest challenge so far.
Mr Feehily told the Irish Mirror: "If somebody does come out that is in the public eye then they're going to represent all homosexuals, not just themselves.
"I don't know that I necessarily like it too much because, knowing me, I would probably say the wrong thing.
"But in that sense all I can do is try and share what I have learnt through my experience. But there is big pressure there and it's a huge challenge."
He added: "I think it is fantastic gay people can now get the same benefits as a straight couple. It is not something I am looking into at the moment. But if I decide to do it then I'll probably tie the knot in London."
Brian McFadden is reportedly keen to rejoin Westlife.
The Irish crooner - who left the band in 2004 to make it on his own and focus on his family - is looking to set up talks with his former bandmates Nicky Byrne, Kian Egan, Mark Feehily and Shane Filan, reports New!
A source told the magazine: "Brian... hosts a football show on Australian TV but that's about it."
They continued: "His solo deal is over and he needs to kick-start his career. He's hoping that a chance to sing again will remind people what he's good at. He is hopeful the boys will think about it."
Brian - who currently lives in Australia with fiancee Delta Goodrem - has had little success with his solo career. He had hits with Real To Me and Irish Son in 2004, but has failed to have any chart-topping singles since then.
Brian in Westlife 'would be weird'29/10/2009
Shane Filan has poured water on rumours Brian McFadden might return to Westlife, saying it would be "weird".
Brian has been rumoured to be rejoining the group he walked out of in 2004.
But lead singer Shane, 30, said: "It would be weird, it would be like a stranger coming back to a band."
He added: "Brian being in the band for us was kind of like going to school with somebody for five or six years. Then you go to college and you see each other at the end of college and it's hard to be back all of a sudden being perfectly friendly with that person and to fit into that role again."
And although Shane is still friendly with Brian, who has two daughters with ex-wife Kerry Katona, he doubts whether a professional relationship could work now. He explained: "We've changed as people and we've changed as a band... we've moved on."
And although reuniting the band looks unlikely, Shane admitted: "Maybe someday we would sing with him."
But Shane doubts whether Brian, who is enjoying success in Australia with fiance Delta Goodrem, would even want to rejoin the band.
He said: "I was chatting with him the other week and he said he was really enjoying himself and he was very happy and everything was starting to make sense for him. So I don't think he would want to be back in Westlife personally."

Westlife to kick off new tour in Belfast
Westlife: Heading back to Belfast
Record-breaking Westlife are to kick off their 2010 tour in Belfast marking their 51st show at the Odyssey Arena.
The Irish boy band will be back in Belfast on May 2 as part of their Where We Are tour.
The last time they played Belfast was in May 2008, when the celebrated their 50th show at the venue, breaking all records for an artist or band.
The following month they marked their 10th anniversary by playing a show at Croke Park in Dublin to 83,000 fans. Since then theyve taken a break from touring but are hitting the road again next year to promote their new album.
Tickets for the Belfast show go on sale next Thursday, December 9, at 9am.
Meanwhile, the bands Nicky Byrne has revealed a tour secret to the hosts of the BBC NI programme the Friday Show, Eamonn Holmes and Rachel Tucker.
Nicky said: When we do our tours and we go off stage at the very end, when we come back on for the encore, we made a pact that wed always do it commando.
Its a true story, so every time we come back on for our final song, or the last three songs or whatever the encore is, it all hangs out! We actually did it tonight as well!
Eamonn replied: That gives a whole new meaning to Flying Without Wings!

Westlife set to wow Croke Park with JLS
WESTLIFE will play Croke Park alongside X Factor runners-up JLS, the Herald can exclusively reveal.
Following in the footsteps of U2 and Take That, who played the venue last summer before 80,000 fans each night, Westlife will be taking to the stage in June, promoters MCD announced today.
Shane, Nicky, Kian and Mark played Croke Park for the first time last year. The band are now looking forward to their return trip on June 5, in one of the most eagerly anticipated concerts of next year.
Tickets for the concert go on sale on December 11, and are expected to be snapped up fast.
Westlife stormed to the top of the charts a few weeks ago with their new single, their first since they decided to take a year out.
The band's frontman Shane Filan said they have been "experimenting" with new music in addition to their already incredibly successful format.
"We've been experimenting with a fresh vibe on this record, working with new producers and writing songs for the album ourselves. After 11 years we see this as phase two of the Westlife story," he said.
The foursome spent most of this year hidden away in studios across Europe working with some of the most established musicmakers in the industry.
Their latest song Where We Are features work from Grammy-nominated Ryan Tedder, who has worked with superstar divas Leona Lewis and Beyonce.
The boys recently released a cover of American Idol contestant Chris Daughtry's hit What About Now to much praise, and were a massive hit when they appeared on the Late Late Toy Show last week. And the group have also been putting their writing skills to good use, as Mark Feehily just penned a song with former All Saints frontwoman Shaznay Lewis.
Their comeback has come at one of the most emotional times for the band in recent years.
Earlier this year, Kian Egan lost his father following a long illness. Dad-of-two Nicky then lost his father, Nikki, suddenly. And the band were also upset when Stephen Gately passed away unexpectedly in his home in Majorca.

I just wanted to say hello and fill you in on everything thats been going on over the last few weeks as its been a while since you heard from us.
Christmas was really lovely. It was actually a bit of a weird one in a way because Gillians granny died the day before Christmas Eve. She was 95 and had lived a great life and seen four generations of the family. It actually brought us all closer together and Christmas Day was really special as we had all the family around us we had 17 of us here for Christmas dinner. Gillian did the cooking, as she also did on New Years Day, when there were 34 of us, including 17 grandchildren!
It was probably the nicest Christmas so far, because I hadnt been rushing around doing promotion and then hurrying to try and buy presents and stuff, so we could enjoy the build-up properly. Id been looking forward to it for a long time and it was so nice to be at home with the family. Gillian surprised me with a camera that Id really wanted for ages on Christmas day, which I was so happy with. I got her some handbags and boots and shoes and stuff. It was also the first year that Nicole really understood Christmas and that was amazing to watch. When youre growing up Santy Claus and all that stuff really makes Christmas for you, and then you get older and Santy doesnt come anymore, and then when you have kids the magic starts all over again. She was so excited about seeing Santy we left out a glass of milk and cookies for him. It was Patricks first Christmas, but obviously he didnt really know what was going on.
Ive been at home all the time for more or less the last six months, apart from a couple of small trips. Its been really nice to relax and get to do things like play golf every Sunday with Gillians dad. Its quite weird being at home too though because Ive been thinking about work loads and I need to keep myself busy. Its the singing I really miss, and Im looking forward to getting back on the road. Ive been chatting to the boys and we all agree that the thing were most excited about is performing on stage again.
We miss you all and were really excited about starting work on the new album. Its going to be back-to-basics, with all new songs and no covers, like the first few albums. Weve heard a few of the songs so far and will be hearing the rest over the next few months. I think its shaping up to be really good as its the first album of our second decade we want it to be the best so far!
Take care

A Message About Stephen Gately
We are, like everyone else, in shock today. We met Stephen Gately back in 1898 when we first started out and since then have had the pleasure of meeting him many times. He and the Boyzone lads paved the way for us as a band. He was a friendly, positive spirit and a passionate performer. Our thoughts are with Andy and the rest of his family, his friends, his legions of fans and of course his bandmates Keith, Mikey, Shane and Ronan who will be devastated at the loss of a truly beautiful person.

Hi Guys...
It's been a while but thats only because we have been busy putting the WHERE WE ARE tour together! We will be performing songs from our latest album plus all the greats too...we have put modern twists of some of the older ones to shine them up and they are sounding splendid! Its all coming together so get yourself down to the gig if youre not already going anyway!
It's gonna be a blast, look forward to seeing you there!
In other news, we were shocked to hear that the ACTUAL location for our 'What About Now' video is no longer there! It was a massive glacier in Iceland and as a result of a recent volcanic eruption it has gone! Wow scary!
