Firstly, I have to say I am deeply saddened by the news about Stephen Gately! As you all know I have been a Boyzone fan since they began and I was lucky enough to know him, once my own career began. Last year I took my oldest friend Aimee to meet the Boyz in Liverpool (she adored Stephen) and she was so happy to finally meet him. (I posted the pic on Twitter) Stephen took time for people. He always made you feel like he was really interested in what you were up to etc. He was a good, good man! God, Saturday was such a sad day for so many people!! All I can do is wish his family, my deepest empathy!

She couldn’t have really done all those ad-libs in the Sugababes because everyone has to get a bit in don’t they…but i hope you get to hear her! You go girl!

I was also in with my chums Tinderbox and we started writing this song called “Stay” Oh my god, it’s so so sad! I’ve only ever had to hold tears in twice before while writing a song once was when writing “Kisses” because it’s about loved ones dying, the other was when I wrote, “Never Get Over You” for a Kittens album and now i did it again after writing Stay! Oh my god! Very pointed! I hope to finish that ASAP so you can hear it!

Liz McClarnon’s Theory On How She Was Misquoted About Lily Allen

Liz McClarnon checked in with fans on her blog at MySpace (@lizmcclarnon) on Friday (August 7), talking again about a recent press report suggesting she offered a warning to Lily Allen. The former Atomic Kitten writes:

I guess I should start with saying…. As I’m sure, you’re all aware I have never said about anyone in my flipping life…. “She better watch out!”

Apparently, I said that the other day about Lily Allen… erm… nope! Now, I’ve been racking my brains trying to think where that came from and I have a thought! (Yes, was painful!)… I did an interview about two/three months ago where a journo said to me, something like… you don’t like Lily Allen? And just said… it’s not that, I just didn’t like her comments and the faces she pulled, on the Ant and Dec show that time… nothing more! The journo then proceeded to RANT about the girl for quite a while (obviously not a fan) to which my response was mostly…. “No?”… “Really?”…. “Ooooo”…. etc…. So, maybe it was that?! Actually, alot of comments she makes do tickle me… so Whatevs! Naughty Journo! But actually it doesn’t matter does it?! It happens all the time!

Liz McClarnon: No ‘Lately’ Release Today

Liz McClarnon updated fans on her blog at MySpace (@lizmcclarnon) on Monday (May 18), talking about the delay of her new single ‘Lately’. The former Atomic Kitten writes:

Well I have to start this blog with some strange news… there will be no release of The Single today! There are legal reasons for it not coming out but hey… it’s nothing to do with me… I was only featuring anyhow! It’s to do with the company who were releasing it and the download around the world. But I am disappointed of course!!! It’s taken up A LOT of my time where I could be working on my own music! Oh dear oh dear oh dear…. and Breathe!! That’s my “the secret” kicking in!! And you’ve GOT TO believe me!! It so works!! I’ve been getting everything I want! Even if something not so great happens, something AMAZING comes out of it! I am so grateful for it!!!
