Kerry Katona is happy with

Brian McFadden's new wife

 

Kerry Katona's children are ''happy''

with Brian McFadden's new wife.

The Westlife singer - with whom Kerry was married and has daughters Lilly-Sue, nine, and 11-year-old Molly with -

wed his second wife Vogue Williams last

September and although

Kerry and Brian shared vicious comments over

Twitter shortly after the wedding,

she insists she has no problem with Vogue

as long as she is a good stepmother to her children.

Kerry said: ''As far as I'm aware,

[the kids are] very OK with it, and they are very happy.

Vogue is their stepmum and as

long as she's a good stepmum,

I have nothing to complain about. ''

 

 

 

Former Westlife star Brian Mcfadden is convinced

Niall Horan will be the first to leave

One Direction to forge a solo career.

The Irish singer quit his own boyband

in 2004 to spend more time

with his family and to launch himself as a solo artist,

leaving the group to continue without him as a four-piece.

He believes Horan will eventually follow in his footsteps,

and those of former That That star

Robbie Williams, by exiting

One Direction and branching out on his own.

MCFadden tells Britain's Real Radio Yorkshire,

"I reckon from One Direction,

probably Niall (will be first to leave).

He comes across as the guy who'll probably

follow in my steps and Robbie's

steps and be the first to leave.

All the ones that leave first always have

that same kind of twinkle in their eye; they're a bit bold, a bit naughty!

"I reckon Niall's the naughty one...

He has a twinkle in his eye though

and I've seen that twinkle before in the mirror!

He's gonna cause trouble...

(He will say) 'I'm out of here';

he'll be full of whiskey and

Guinness and he'll do something.

(I) just have that feeling, just a gut feeling."

 

 Brian McFadden misses

sausages

Brian McFadden misses sausages and football while he is living in Australia.

Brian McFadden misses sausages and football.

The former Westlife singer - who moved to Australia in 2006 to be with ex-fiancée Delta Goodrem - misses UK culture and is looking forward to moving back to Ireland to be closer to his daughters.

He exclusively told BANG Showbiz: ''I miss Sausages. The sausages in Australia are f***ing disgusting. I've never had a good sausage in Australia, ever, and the first thing I do as soon as I get back is a proper British and Irish sausage. Miss them.

''I do miss is football. Even though we watch it in Australia I miss the banter over in the UK. In Australia we don't have that culture of sitting in a pub on a Saturday watching the football and having a pint.''

Brian only gets to see his two daughter Molly, 11, and Lily-Sue, 10- with ex-wife Kerry Katona - twice a year in their school holidays. However, he hopes to rekindle his career in the UK in order to be closer to them.

He said: ''I'd like by the end of this year to be able to maintain my career here again.

''I would like to have a little success here to be able to be close to my girls and be close to my family and friends again and be able to work closer to home would be nice.''

Brian's fourth album, 'The Irish Connection' - which sees him perform a number of Irish folk songs - as well as duets with Ronan Keating and Sinead O'Connor - will be available from March 4.

Former Westlife star Brian Mcfadden has urged pop sensation Justin Bieber to take a break from his busy career or risk burning out early.

The Irish singer cited exhaustion as one of the key factors for his departure from the boyband in 2004 and warns the Baby hitmaker to learn from his story and slow down before it is too late.

He tells Entertainmentwise.com, "I think with One Direction and Justin Bieber, the difference is, there's five of them boys (in One Direction) so, one of them might have a bad day but the rest of the four can keep it going.

"But Justin just seems to be constantly going, working so hard, so someone's going to have to tell him to take a break soon. That's what happened to me. If I'd been able to take a break before Westlife, I probably would have still been in Westlife.

"You have to be in control of it and take the time off and enjoy it because you don't want to get to the stage where you're not enjoying it anymore. This is the best job in the world, but as long as you appreciate what you're doing."

 

Former Westlife star Brian Mcfadden was bombarded with death threats from One Direction fans after suggesting Niall Horan would be the first to quit the group.

The Irish singer was asked about the boyband in a recent interview with Britain's Real Radio Yorkshire and MCFadden singled out Horan when the host urged him to pick which singer he thought would be the first to launch a solo career.

MCFadden now reveals the comment sparked a backlash from the group's fans and he received a slew of threatening messages via Twitter.com.

He says, "I wouldn't wanna (sic) f**k with their fans. I was asked who I thought would be the first to leave One Direction on the radio - I didn't know (who to choose), but they (the hosts) said to pick one, so I said Niall because I'm Irish, he's Irish, and he has that glint in his eye. Then I get these Twitter comments from nut jobs (sic) like, 'Go f**king kill yourself'. I'm like, 'Calm down.' They're f**king nuts... It's different now because of Twitter - you can see how crazy people are."

 

 

 

 

 

 Brian McFadden: Marriage has made me grow up

by Bang Showbiz | 22 April 2013

Brian McFadden has ''grown up'' since meeting Vogue Williams and says he and his model spouse love nothing more than quiet nights at home.

Brian McFadden has ''grown up'' since meeting Vogue Williams.

The 33-year-old singer - who married the model in September 2012 after 18 months of dating - insists he has settled down and he now prefers quiet nights at home with his 27-year-old spouse to nights out.

He said: ''She's a great girl. We've changed each other. The two of us grew up and settled down when we met each other. Going out is a rare event now.

''I play golf while Vogue walks the dog and goes to the gym, then in the evening we watch a box set of 'Lost'.''

Despite feeling content in their home life together, Brian - who has daughters Molly, 11, and Lilly-Sue, 10, with ex-wife Kerry Katona - and Vogue insist they are in no rush to start a family, but when the time comes, the former Westlife singer is willing to put his career on hold.

Vogue said: ''I don't feel I'm in any rush but it's one of the reasons I wanted to make a base here [in London].

''I think 30 would be a good age - I still have lots of things I want to achieve.''

Brian added in an interview with Britain's HELLO! magazine: ''I'd like to see Vogue concentrate on her career. I'd be happy to be a stay-at-home dad.''

 

 

Brian McFadden wants to reunite with Westlife.

The 33-year-old singer was part of the boy band's original line-up alongside Shane Filan, Nicky Byrne, Mark Feehily and Kian Egan,

but quit the group in 2004 leaving them to continue as a four-piece for eight years until they split last year.

Brian hopes to work with the guys in the future and thinks there could be an opportunity when they aren't all so busy with their new careers.

Former bandmate Shane is releasing his first solo album 'You and Me' this November, Nicky has moved into TV and is presenting 'The Hit' alongside Aidan Power, while Mark is currently a coach on talent contest 'The Voice', Ireland.

Talking on UK TV show 'Daybreak', Brian said: ''I would definitely love to do something with the guys one day.

He explained: ''I don't think it's going to happen for a long time, the boys are all going off on their solo ventures now.''

Despite his enthusiasm he insists he would never appear on reality documentary series 'The Big Reunion', which has seen several successful pop bands reform for tours.

The musician - who is married to Irish DJ and reality star Vogue Williams - said: ''I wouldn't [reunite], not for 'The Big Reunion' or something like that but I would love to do something with them again of course we used to have so much fun touring and singing together so I would never rule it out.''

Brian has released four well-received solo LPs, the most recent being 'The Irish Connection', and he insists he isn't worried about Shane's new music eclipsing his, as he is a fan of his single 'Everything to Me'.

He explained: ''I really like what he's doing. I wouldn't say there's competition because obviously we're in different times in our career, this is his first single out and it's all an exciting time for him, it feels like I've been doing it for a long time. We've got different styles as well at the moment and I think he's really creating his own sound.''

Brian McFadden set to

quit Australia for Ireland return
By Paul Martin, Irish Daily Mirror 15/12/2011

BRIAN McFadden is set to make

a dramatic move home to Ireland - seven years

after he fled claiming he was

the "most hated man in the country".

The star, 31, is planning

to quit Australia in the New Year and return to

Dublin where he grew up so

he can be closer to his family.

Brian has been persuaded

it's the right time to move home

by his new love, model Vogue Williams.


The star moved to Australia

seven years ago to be

with his then fiancee, singer Delta Goodrem.

Since then he's landed a major

TV role as a judge on Australia's Got Talent

and enjoyed a rejuvenated music career.

But pals say

the star desperately misses his daughters - Molly, 10,

and eight-year-old Lily Sue - who he has

with ex-wife Kerry Katona.

Now Dubliner Vogue has convinced

him it's time to come home.

A source revealed: "Brian is really excited

and planning to buy somewhere

in Ireland and start over again.

"He will still spend four months of the year in Australia

because he has so many TV commitments.

"But now he has found love with Vogue

he sees it as an opportunity

to come back to his home country

and start seeing more of his family,

especially his daughters."

Brian's girls live with reality star Kerry in Warrington,

England, but currently

he only gets to see them twice a year.

Brian and Vogue

have been dating since last May when

the Irish Daily Mirror revealed they were an item.

Three months ago she moved to Australia

to be closer to the former Westlife star and the couple's relationship

has been going from strength to strength.

Brian McFadden Confirms

Engagement to Vogue Williams
2012

Talking about his wedding to

his girlfriend of eight months,

the former Westlife singer tweets,

'Ill have to invite all my followers to the wedding.

Well have to get married in central park.'



Brian McFadden has asked his girlfriend of eight months,

Vogue Williams,

for her hand in marriage.

The "Just Say So" singer confirmed rumors

of his engagement to the Irish DJ in the latest issue

of OK! Magazine,

adding that he has told

his former fiancee Delta Goodrem about it.

"We've let [our exes] know out of respect,"

the former member of boyband Westlife shared.

"They both went 'Great,

as long as you're happy' because they're

both happy as well and have moved on.

We don't have any nasty 'ex' animosity

with our recent partners." He added,

"Vogue and I are actually setting

a date and we're actually getting married."

Speaking of his short courtship

with 26-year-old Williams,

the 31-year-old singer explained,

"It's early [to be engaged]

when you think about how long we've been together,

but not when you consider

the amount of time

we've spent together... we've literally

spent every second of every day together

for eight months now."

Having received congratulatory messages

from his Twitter followers,

McFadden uploaded a picture of Williams

on the micro blogging site with a note,

"My beautiful wife to be x."

He later wrote to his new fiancee,

"Ill have to invite all my followers to the wedding.

Well have to get married in central park." Williams

herself tweeted, "I'm engaged!!delighted!!"

McFadden was previously

married to Kerry Katona,

with whom he has two daughters.

He began dating Goodrem in 2004.

They got engaged in 2007,

but called it off in April 2011.

Their joint statement at the time read, "

This decision has been made

with a lot of soul searching from both

parties with the realization

that they have grown apart."

Our kiss was before Brian met Vogue,

says McFadden girl


By NIAMH HORAN Entertainment News Reporter
Sunday Feb 5 2012

'THE blonde socialite who was pictured

kissing Brian McFadden on a night

out has spoken exclusively to the Sunday Independent

to say the kiss happened months

before he fell for Irish model Vogue Williams.

The singer and his new fiancee

had just returned from Ireland

after celebrating with an engagement

bash among family and friends

when the photographs of the star getting

close with

the blonde blogger were leaked on to the internet.

The woman is

named as Ruby Jacenko, a self-professed 'lifestyle guru'.

Speaking yesterday,

Ms Jacenko said

she hooked up with

the singer when they were both single.

"It was just a bit of fun on a night out and

it was months before he got with Vogue.

"I have met both

Brian and Vogue since -- a couple

of months into

their relationship after they both moved in together --

and she seems like a lovely girl.

I think they seem like a great couple."

Sources close to

the couple said last night that there was

"obvious upset" caused by the photographs.

"They've just gotten engaged,

there was big celebrations at home,

everyone is so happy for them and then these emerge.

Even though it happened

months before Vogue and Brian ever got together.

"They are very much looking forward to

spending the rest of their lives together,

the wedding is still very much

on and they are very much in love.

They have laughed off

the pictures as nothing more than

a single lad on a night out.

He is completely head over heels for Vogue now."

Ruby Jacenko,

who runs the blog notgoinghome.com,

claims the pictures were taken last April,

after McFadden had split from his former fiancee,

singer Delta Goodrem,

and before he hooked up with Williams.

She said

she wanted

the images to remain private

and that the camera on which

they were taken was stolen from her office.

The 22-year-old said she has contacted

the police over the theft of the camera

and other personal items.

"My iPad, computer and video camera were stolen.

It's sad because these were private photographs.

Brian and I were out partying,

having a laugh -- there was

nothing more to it than that."

The 31-year-old Irish singer,

who split from Delta Goodrem

in April of last year, asked

the 26-year-old DJ and model Vogue Williams

to marry him while he was touring

with Stevie Nicks in November.

After posing for photos showing off the ring,

McFadden told the Australian edition of OK magazine:

"It's early (to be engaged)

when you think about how long we've been together,

but not when you consider the amount

of time we've spent together.

"We've literally spent every second of every day

together for eight months now."

Brian Mcfadden Fights Back Over Cyber Bullies
14 February 2012 16:03



Irish singer Brian Mcfadden

has launched a foul-mouthed tirade on

his Twitter.com page attacking "cyber bullies"

who stalk him online.

The former Westlife star was fuming

when one fan posted

a string of derogatory messages aimed at him,

including poking fun at him for

not getting an invite to the Grammy Awards.

MCFadden decided he'd had enough of the torments

and outed the Australian user,

named JohnRiot, on the microblogging site,

before challenging him to a fight.

In a string of messages he fumes,

"Your a c**t face.

If you want a go let's do it.

I live in woolloomooloo. You know where I am.

Bring it on juice junkie.

One on one... Hey steroids face johnriot

I am absolutely up for a one on one pikey fight.

You have insulted me and my family.

Let's end this!!! JohnRiot come on you old lesbian.

Put your f**king money

where your juiced up mouth is!!!!!

"F**k these cyber bullies!

Let's take a stand!!!! F**k that.

Let's stoop to there (sic) level!!!!

"Come on johnriot speak up.

Let's do it. Stop hiding behind the internet.

You know who I am and where I am! Stand up."

BRIAN McFadden had an epiphany last year.
The Irish singer/songwriter began singing mature,

emotional ballads as a young man in boy band Westlife,

then in a successful solo career.

But he had a musical second childhood

with the electro pop of Just Say So,

which debuted at No.1 in Australia and put him on

radio stations that previously

had struggled to find room for his slower material.

McFadden abruptly changed musical direction -

following

Just Say So with more radio-ready electro -

but with diminishing returns.

"People weren't making

the connection with a 31-year-old fat guy from

Ireland singing songs

that should be sung by a good looking

18-year-old with a six-pack," McFadden says.

McFadden

was not the only pop artist guilty of changing

tack for something sounding

like commercial radio
"You want to be on the radio.

And I was.

Just Say So was my biggest airplay hit and a No.1,

but you don't sell any albums

because people just like that one song.

That's not the kind of artist I am."

And so, his musical party days are over.

There's a whole

album of electro songs scrapped

that would have been

the follow up to the Wall of Soundz project.

Instead he's back to

writing songs on an acoustic guitar,

rather than a synthesiser.

The first taste is single Wrap My Arms.

The B-side is a cover of

Adele's Someone Like You; the artist McFadden

notes has changed everything in the musical landscape.

"Adele kick-started having classic-style songs

played on radio," he says.

"Then came Ed Sheeran, (Christina Perri's) Jar of Hearts.

Radio was afraid to get back to slower songs.

It suits me, that's what I do best.

"I remember starting in the industry

and the whole idea of having a hit was making

a song that stands out from everything else.

Even I got into the trap of going into the studio

to make a song that would sit nicely on the radio

with everything else."

While McFadden

is working on what will be his fourth solo album,

these days his own career takes a back seat.

There's his job as a judge on Australia's Got Talent -

where he's seeing an influx of rock bands auditioning.

"Bands are hot again," he says.

"There's a lot of guys in their 30s auditioning

who have been gigging away for years."

He is also working behind the scenes.

Two local acts he's produced -

Penny Phillips and The Sunshine State -

have albums due this year.

The video for Wrap My Arms features

McFadden's fiancee,

Irish DJ and model Vogue Williams -

who will get her own moment in

the sun on this year's Dancing With the Stars

(McFadden is already preparing to have "the talk"

with her dancing partner).

He credits Williams with making him

the happiest he's been. And the most sober.

"It's not the new me, it's the old me.

Once you hit 30 it's harder to bounce back.

I never got hangovers until last year.

I felt manhood properly kick in.

I wasn't in a boy band any more

where you can just keep on going," he says.

Despite fan fantasies,

McFadden will not be appearing

with the soon-to-split Westlife on their

farewell British tour for old times' sake.

"They're touring while I'm doing

Australia's Got Talent and

I know who feeds me.

Actually, they both are (feeding me)," he says.

"Westlife have got a greatest-hits album out,

so I'm sitting here while they're out there

sweating their bollocks off making me

money from royalties!"

Brian McFadden tackles Bieber fan



The former Westlife singer, 32,

Brian McFadden and Vogue Williams

pick medieval castle for their Italian wedding










Former Westlife

star Brian McFadden will tie

the knot with Vogue Williams

in a luxurious Italian castle on September 2.

The singer, 32 will marry his bride, 27

in Castello Di Vincigliata in

Florence and

the pair are thought to be spending €220,000

on the wedding,

the ‘Irish Daily Mirror’ reports.

The couple will also host their joint

stag and

hen party in the Italian city

as part of their four-day celebration.

The castle,

which dates from the 13th century,

offers views over

the Tuscan countryside and boasts ornate gardens.

Ceremonies are usually held on the lawn,

followed by welcome cocktails

on the terrace in the garden.

Guests will then enjoy

a romantic dinner in the courtyard with candles,

followed by coffee in the drawing-rooms,

with its original furniture and frescos.

A close friend of the couple said:

“They’re going all

out for this wedding – this is going to

be a massive party

that people will be talking about for years to come.

“After looking through

all the options available to them in Florence,

Brian and Vogue

both agreed to go with the Castello Di Vincigliata.

“It’s just perfect for them,

as soon as they saw it they fell in love.

They’re both quite private people and

the castle will keep them hidden from media attention.

“They thought long and hard about

where to host their joint stag and hen but eventually

decided to do it before the wedding

in Florence so both their

Irish and Aussie guests could make it.”

Brian has picked Australian

DJ Kyle Sandilands

as his best man and will

have five other groomsmen,

while Vogue,

who announced last week

that her wedding dress

will be from Australian design

house J’Aton,

will have six bridesmaids on the day.

It’s been reported that the couple

will read out love

letters during

the ceremony and doves will be released.

Celebrity guests are expected to

include Dannii Minogue

and Mel B who will travel to Italy for the big day.

 

 

 

BRIAN McFadden

has been tipped to be fired as

a judge on Australia’s Got Talent as

TV bosses look to shake up the tired format.
Last week’s f

final of the show was a ratings disaster

prompting talk of

a new line-up for next season.

Former Westlife star Brian, 32,

appears on the panel alongside fellow judges

Dannii Minogue and Kyle Sandilands.

Talk that Bri is set to leave the Channel 7

show escalated after his spat

with a station boss at the final of Dancing

With The Stars in June.

It was claimed McFadden

was riled over creative differences regarding a solo

TV project and had threatened to quit the network.

He later denied this, saying:

“Do I look like someone who is about to resign?

I am really happy here.

I only have to come to work one day a week.”



Getting hitched ... Vogue and Brian

Yesterday Bri’s representative played

down talk that he’s been axed, stating:

“None of them (the judges)

have negotiated for next season.”

Dad-of-two Brian jets back to Ireland today

with fiancée Vogue Williams

ahead of their September wedding in Italy.

The loved-up couple are due to arrive in Dublin Airport this morning.

McFadden’s rep was also forced to shoot down talk

that he was leaving Oz for good,

and explained that he is coming home

to Ireland to record tracks for a new album.

Brian sparked alarm online

after telling his Twitter followers

that he was leaving Oz, writing “so long Australia”.

But his rep said: “He is definitely returning.

“He has an album due to

come out around Christmas and

he is busy recording.”

Dubliner Brian

is also set to work on new RTE talent show

The Hit while he is here.

He has been lined up as

one of the acts to judge on the show,

which will be fronted by MTV babe Laura Whitmore.

Kerry Katona and Brian McFadden

Kerry Katona goes on Twitter

rant after Brian McFadden dismisses their marriage]



That time came along again yesterday,

after Brian dismissed his first marriage to Kerry

following his wedding

to Vogue Williams over the weekend.

Brian McFadden

has now taken to Twitter again to vent his fury

after Kerry said she had no regrets

about their relationship

as it produced their two daughters.


Brian's angry fingers typed:

"Some people just can't let go of the past.

Even if it destroys the future.

I love my Kids but there

the best thing in my life that came from

that shambolic relationship."

He didn't stop there though.

He got a bit more cross and sweary.

Brian continued:

"Now please f@+k off and let me and

my wife enjoy our life.

With my Two girls. And to everyone else.

Mind your own business."

He concluded: "I'm sick of everytime in my life

I'm happy some pr*** tries to destroy me."

Wowzers.

The whole thing started after Brian McFadden revealed at his wedding that

he no longer acknowledges

his marriage to Kerry Katona.

He said:

"This is me getting married for the rest of my life -

and a completely different life.

I was 18 or 19 when I got married the first time.

I was in Westlife.

I had no idea what I was doing.

It wasn't till I was 30 that I turned into an adult."


Kerry wasn't very happy with Brian's comments,

though. She took to Twitter to fight back,

saying: "I will never let anyone take away

my first marriage not even my ex husband!

We may have been young but

I knew full well what I was doing!!!"

"And never in a million years would I ever dismiss it,

especially bringing

two amazing children into it... Love mummy xxx."

After Brian's latest outburst,

we reckon it's back over to Kerry...

 

 

 

 

Brian McFadden’s best man

denies that partying reason for wedding no-show






Monday Sep 10 2012


Brian McFadden’s best man has

denied claims that he was too

drunk to attend his friend’s wedding.



Australian DJ Kyle Sandilands

did not turn up when

the former Westlife singer married

Vogue Williams in Florence last Sunday,

despite flying to Italy for the event.

It was suggested that the DJ had gotten drunk

the night before and was too ill to attend the wedding.

However Kyle dismissed those claims

and said that a severe migraine was to blame.


He told ‘The Irish Sun’@ “I travelled

and was up for 30 hours.

I didn’t go out the night before like everyone else did as I was f****d. I got a migraine

on the day and just couldn’t attend.

Simple as that.”


Kyle, who is Brian’s fellow judge on ‘Australia’s

Got Talent’,

also said that

he was not the best man but only a member of the bridal party. He added:


“That’s my devil, those headaches.

Can’t do a thing about it.”


Meanwhile, the newlyweds

have returned to Australia after a short

honeymoon in Italy

. Vogue,

who has changed her name from Williams to McFadden

on her Twitter account, tweeted:

Westlife, Croke Park, Dublin June 1st 2008

croke park - westlife live

Nicky Byrne leads the opening number






Among the huge crowd at a packed Croke Park were these Westlife fans in the front row who had travelled from Germany to see their idols




Monday June 02 2008

WESTLIFE lived the dream as they wowed 82,000 fans at a sold-out Croke Park last night.

The Westlife lads arrived on stage to the sort of roar normally reserved for a goal by home team Dublin in the All-Ireland Final.

With an explosion of fireworks, and dwarfed by crazed dancers on stilts, they launched into 'Hit You With The Real Thing' then 'World of Our Own'.

The group tore through a selection of hits, including 'What Makes a Man' and 'Uptown Girl', which got the sea of fans, some wearing bunny ears and carrying banners, singing and dancing.

The set was huge, with massive screens beaming the boys' every move to the people below.

Kian Egan told the crowd it was a perfect 10th birthday present for the band.

"To be here in our national stadium in front of over 85,000 people is unbelievable," he said.





WESTLIFE celebrated their triumphant Croke Park concert over the weekend by partying into the early hours with friends and family at an exclusive after-show party.

The bash took place at Floridita on Dublin's Abbey Street. The band was joined by friends and family, including manager Louis Walsh and ex-Ireland soccer international David O'Leary.

Band members Nicky Byrne, Kian Egan, Shane Filan and Mark Feehily made a quick dash to the Four Seasons Hotel after the gig to scrub up before arriving at the after show party.

The nightclub was decked out in Westlife regalia, including an ice sculpture commemorating the band's 10 years at the top of the charts.
