Did Lee Ryan’s mother mind seeing her beloved son being reported as a lad-about-town who couldn’t keep his trousers on? “She thought it was funny,” the former Blue singer told The Observer. “Why shouldn’t she? She used to say to me, ‘At least I know you’re not gay!’ Not that it’d ever have mattered if I was gay, she was just mucking about. My mum’s got a great open mind, very spiritual, very loving. As all mums are. Well, some.” Read more.

Former Blue star Lee Ryan tells the Daily Star when he jetted to Los Angeles to have throat nodules removed, he ran into Patti LaBelle, who apparently used an unusual technique to save the singer’s voice.

“She’s a legend so I was just happy to met her, but she’s a really spiritual person,” Ryan said. “So when I told her about my throat thing she said she could help. She held her hands just a few millimeters away from my neck for about five minutes. I couldn’t believe it, but two days later the nodules have gone and they haven’t come back since.”

Now that his voice is back in shape, Ryan plans on keeping it that way. “The only thing that does my voice in now is if I have a cigarette,” he said. “So there’s an obvious answer to that, I should stop smoking.”

The Sun reports that Blue star Lee Ryan Lee has so far failed to pay up the £200 criminal damage compensation that a court ordered him to pay to picture agency BIG after a court convicted him of damaging two photographers’ cameras last May and a warrant has been issued for his arrest.

“Lee’s representatives paid the costs by credit card on the day of the court case and that marked the end of the case as far as Lee was concerned,” a spokesperson for Ryan said. “He was amazed and upset to hear that the matter appears to still be unresolved and will be looking into how the mix-up could have occurred immediately.”

New Year’s Resolution For Blue’s Lee Ryan

Blue star Lee Ryan spoke with Radio 1 about the film he is making entitled ‘Changes’. The singer said, “I might do a little cameo. I might just walk past and you will think ‘Is that him?’. We’re going to have real actors in it, but there’s going to be kids that have got a lot of issues. It will be like therapy for them. I did a workshop when I was a kid. I was an angry little thing when I was younger. It helped me get some focus, the same as sport or anything. It’s going to be good, and it’s good to give something back.”
