Shameless Plugs From Brian McFadden
Former Westlife star Brian McFadden checked in with his MySpace friends (@brianmcfadden) on Tuesday (May 20) with the following bulletin:
Hi everyone,
Well here I am again…and good to speak to you all again…
So since we last spoke I have been doing LOTS of promo and morning TV shows for the single and I’ve also started some filming for Football Superstar (starts on Fox 8 on June 19… shameless plug #1)…
Shameless plug #2 is that I am performing at The Basement in Sydney this Wednesday and Thursday night – please come along if you can.
Axel Whitehead is also performing and I’m really looking forward to it and especially playing at the legendary Basement which I have heard so much about (and the fact that Prince has played there)!
Starting to prepare for my next single which will be coming soon and I’ve got some pretty exciting people doing a new mix for me on one of my tracks!!…Stay tuned…
Until next time – thanks again and hopefully see you at The Basement,
Cheers,
Brian

Brian McFadden Plotting Custody Battle Against Kerry Katona

The former Westlife star plans to use footage of her reality television program ‘Crazy In Love’ to argue cocaine and alcohol abusing Kerry and her second husband Mark Croft are unfit to raise the two girls. “Those poor girls need stability because they’ve lived a rollercoaster ride with Kerry for too long,” a McFadden friend told the British tabloid. “You only have to look at her show and see the mess she’s in. Brian can give them the upbringing they deserve.”

Brian McFadden Blasts ‘Disgusting’ Ex-Wife Kerry Katona
Brian McFadden is lashing out at his ex-wife Kerry Katona in an interview with News of the World, outraged by her claim that a late return by their two daughters Molly and Lilly-Sue from a visit to Brian and his fiance Delta Goodrem in Australia triggered anxiety which brought on the premature birth of her fourth child Max. A shocking claim in the face of Katona’s cocaine abuse, alcohol addiction, and smoking during her pregnancy. “Kerry is a disgusting human being,” the former Westlife star fumed. “She manipulates people and plays the sympathy card for every stupid mistake she makes. Me and my family have been put through hell by her stupid games. She uses my two girls as a weapon in her childish games. She is an embarrassment to me, my family and my children.”

Brian McFadden Pulls Out Of Boyzone Reunion Tour
Former Westlife star Brian McFadden’s people checked in with fans on his blog at MySpace (@brianmcfadden) on Friday (February 1) with the following message:
Unfortunately Brian McFadden has had to pull out of his support slot on the Boyzone tour. This is due to the signing of a record deal with Universal in Australia which means his album will now be released there in May / June 2008 and would otherwise clash with the Boyzone dates.
Brian, currently in Australia, says “I was so looking forward to playing the songs from my new album live on this tour but the opportunity to get on with releasing my album in Australia is too good to miss. I’ll be back in Europe in the summer with a view to releasing my album and playing some dates and I look forward to seeing everybody then.”
