Brian McFadden To Fly Back To Ireland To Confront Ex-Wife Kerry Katona

 Westlife star is not happy...

_________________________________________________________________________________

Kerry Katona's decision to lash out at her ex-wife husband Brian McFadden before Christmas has left him furious and now he's planning to head back to Ireland for a showdown.

The former Westlife star was "disgusted" by Kerry's recent comments about their children and his abilities as a father, especially as she claimed that he didn't care about visiting them over Christmas.

Brian and Kerry have two children together from their previous marriage - nine-year-old Molly and eight-year-old Lilly Sue, but Brian decided to spend Christmas with his new girlfriend, model Vogue Williams.
In a magazine article, Kerry said: "One person I'm not expecting to hear from this Christmas is Brian McFadden.

"He hardly pays for his kids, he rarely rings his kids and I hope he feels guilty because my four babies are so beautiful, intelligent, funny and amazing and he doesn't seem to be interested in either Molly or Lilly."
Now, Brian is set to fly back to Ireland in the next couple of weeks so that he can take his daughters on a holiday, where he plans to introduce them to Williams for the first time.

"He is disgusted with Kerry's comments that he doesn't pay for his kids or want to see them," a source told The Mirror. "Brian was always planning to come back to Ireland and go over to the UK in the new year to spend time with Molly and Lilly Sue."

They also continued: "He wants Vogue to be part of their life now too and he just wishes Kerry would stop making accusations about him. They made a pact a few months ago that they would stop the public slagging and start behaving better to each other.

"But Kerry timed her latest attack for just in time for Christmas - it was a real low blow for Brian."

Do you think Kerry was right to air her dirty laundry?

Westlife concern over split

Westlife star Mark Feehily has admitted the quartet worried that no one would care that they were going their separate ways in 2012.

 Speaking to the Irish Daily Star, Feehily said: "We were worried about saying we were splitting up.
"But we've just found out that our tour is going to be the biggest tour we've ever done... So thankfully people - well, our fans - care."
 However, he said the members of the group are worried about the future.
"It is bittersweet because the reaction has been fantastic but we still have to face the unknown which is scary. We're walking into the dark - we've got no idea what's facing us," he said.
The 31-year-old said he wants to stay in the music business, but fears he'll never be a solo success.
"Ultimately people are going to look at whatever we do as either complete flops or successes," he said.
"You just have to be positive with yourself and try to do something good."

Westlife's Kian Egan: We're ready to get on with our lives

THEIR decision to rule out a comeback has left fans devastated.

But Westlife's Kian Egan said the reason they're so adamant about never getting back together, is to prove to fans it's no gimmick - they're ready to get on with their lives.

Speaking exclusively to OK.co.uk after Shane Filan, Mark Feehily, Nicky Byrne and Kian shocked the world of pop by announcing their split, Kian told us that following the Farewell 2012 tour - Westlife will be over for good.

"The reason why [the split sounded] so strong was because we didn't want people to think this was a break-up gimmick," he explained.

"That's why we're saying this is it, this is the final thing. Next year's tour really is it. We're not all of a sudden going to do a reunion in two or three years time.

"We want to go away and get on with our lives."

And while their decision has left their fans reeling, Kian said it "felt good" to finally break the news.

"We've been living with this for a quite a while and we've spent quite a bit of time talking about it for last few months," he told us.

"It felt pretty good to be honest. We all knew that we were making the right decision. And it's made everything else really enjoyable, you know?

"You're doing a lot of things for the last time and it just becomes really relaxed. And everyone's just really chilled out. There are no big dramas or big stresses."

The pop crooners have had a staggering 14 No.1 hits, seven No. 1 albums and 10 sell-out tours over the past 14 years, which - as Kian admits - has made it difficult for them to fully-appreciate the extent of their reign in pop.

 "The reality is it hasn't hit us at all," he smiled. "We're still at the top of the wave.

"[It'll probably hit us] this time next year. I don't think we even know what we've done in 14 years.

"Because all we've done is this, we don't have the opportunity to sit down and reflect."

The 31-year-old said the boys, much like their fans, will have to go through a period of mourning once it's all over.

"I think we're going to have to go through a grieving process to be able to reflect and go 'oh, it was amazing," he mused.










"I keep telling myself, 'Kian you're in a boyband, you're not saving the world. You're not the lead singer of U2!

"But we were in a boyband that latest 14 years. We couldn't have asked for more."

For now, Westlife are focusing on their Farewell tour, which kicks off next May, but they haven't neglected thinking about their careers beyond that.

"We're all going to do something, we're not all going to go home and sit on our bums for the rest of our lives!" he laughed.

"We're still young guys. I think Shane and Mark are two world-class singers - which is one of the reasons why we've stayed together for as long as we have - so it would be foolish to not go out there and start recording solo albums.

"Nicky seems to be falling very much towards TV and radio presenting. I see him doing well in that respect."

Kian, who's just welcomed a baby boy with wife Jodi Albert, said he's the most blase one of them all when it comes to the future.

ABOVE: Kian told  that the decision to split hasn't hit them yet

 "I just want it to happen naturally," he said. "I have no idea what I'm going to do.

"I'm open to all suggestions, [but] I'm not going to do anything that I don't really want to. I'm going to follow passions, follow love and if I end doing something that's great then brilliant, then if I don't, I don't."

He continued: "Just because I've lived my life one way for the first 30 years doesn't mean I have to live it the same way for the next 30 years. I'm way better off than when I joined the band!"

And, he added, while there will never be a big comeback for the boys - it doesn't mean they won't ever perform together again.

"It's not to say that we won't stand on the same stage again, in fact it's probably odd to think we'll never stand on the same stage again.

"{But, for us], Westlife has come to the end of its reign."

Why Kian Egan don't show off new baby Koa to fans

WESTLIFE'S Kian Egan and wife Jodi Albert have signed a six-figure deal with OK! magazine to feature their new baby.
Jodi gave birth to their first child, Koa, on Tuesday but the lad will have wasted little time before earning a first pay cheque.
The Herald can reveal how the delighted couple have signed a deal for an 'at home' shoot after signing a two-part deal with the UK glossy.
The young tot was born in Sligo General Hospital at 6.10pm on December 20 -- two weeks earlier than planned.
Over the next few days, the couple will take home their precious little bundle as they move into their new house in Sligo. It includes a state-of-the art baby room as they enjoy their first Christmas as parents.
And a source explained how Kian (31) and Jodi (28) have signed a follow-on deal with the publication, understood to be a "six figure sum", and will be keeping the baby under wraps until the interview comes out.
"They'll probably do the pics in January and this is a follow on to the previous spread they did on her pregnancy," she said. "They're just really happy and looking forward to going back to their new home with Koa, just in time for Christmas.
"They are doing brilliantly and Kian's just thrilled to bits. They've received so many nice messages from fans around the world - at one stage Koa was trending on Twitter."
Last September saw the couple, who married in 2009 in the Caribbean, posing for pics and doing an interview with OK! as they revealed their excitement about becoming first time parents. They first found out she was pregnant on April 29, the same day as Kian's birthday and the Royal Wedding.
A proud Kian, a mentor on RTE's The Voice Of Ireland texted the good news to friends and family before announcing the news on Twitter saying: "Our little baby boy Koa was born today at 6.10 pm. Jodi Albert is an amazing woman. Love them both so much. Both doing amazing, so proud."

He then added: "Wow thanks guys. Amazing to see our little boy Koa is trending in the UK! And he's only a few hrs old!!!"
His bandmates Shane Filan, Nicky Byrne and Mark Feehily were quick to follow suit as they sent their own messages of congratulations, as did wives Gillian Filan and Georgina Byrne.
Egan recently spoke of his excitement about becoming a first time dad. "I honestly can't wait for Jodi to give birth. I want to do everything -- nappies, feeds, whatever Jodi needs."
Kian will now be able to spend lots of time with his son as Westlife are set to disband after a greatest hits album and a farewell tour next spring which will culminate in Croke Park in Dublin on June 23.
The name 'Koa' is a traditional Hawaiian name meaning 'brave' or 'warrior' and could stem from Kian's much-publicised love of surfing.
Kian revealed that the couple had first come across the unusual moniker in a baby-name list and the pair both really liked it.

Glee's Naya Rivera Named New Proactiv Spokesperson

Even cheerleaders struggle with their skin. 

Glee star Naya Rivera, who plays the fresh-faced (yet potty-mouthed) Santana Lopez on the hit TV show, recently revealed that she suffered from bad breakouts earlier this year, making it uncomfortable to be on camera each week.

The 24-year-old turned to Proactiv's acne products to clear up her complexion, and now she's the brand's new spokesperson.

"The makeup artist on the set of Glee gave it to me and I kept it using it because I knew it worked for other people," she says. "I really wanted to work with Proactiv because the products really helped me."

She joins a star-studded lineup of current Proactiv celebrity customers-turned-spokespeople, including Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Avril Lavigne and Julianne Hough

'Both doing amazing, so proud': Westlife's Kian Egan becomes a father as wife Jodi Albert gives birth to son Koa

With just four days to go until Christmas Day, presents are being wrapped and put under the tree until the morning of the 25th.

But Westlife's Kian Egan got an early gift this year as he became a father for the first time after his wife Jodi Albert gave birth to a boy yesterday.

The former Hollyoaks star and the pop singer - who married two years ago in Barbados after a five-year romance – have named the child Koa.

Kian took to his Twitter page last night and wrote: Our little baby boy 'Koa' was born today at 6.10pm. Jodi Albert is an amazing woman. Love them both so much. Both doing amazing, so proud. X.'

He later thanked fans for their messages of support, admitting he was shocked to receive so many well-wishes.

He added: 'Wow thanks guys. Amazing to see our little boy Koa is trending in the UK! And he's only a few hrs old!!!'

And speaking to the Mail four hours after the birth, he said he was very tired and 'half asleep'.

He said: 'We had a long night last night so we’re both very tired. But we’re here in the hospital and all is fine.'

And a source close to the star said Kian has been on red alert for the past couple of weeks, opting to work from home in Sligo. He even chartered a plane home from London after the X Factor final, instead of staying overnight.

They said: 'He was never going to miss this. He is simply over the moon at becoming a dad.'

Kian's bandmates Mark Feehily and Shane Filan was among the first to congratulate the star.

Mark Tweeted: 'Congratulations to my great friends Kian & Jodi on the birth of their first child Koa,a bouncing baby boy! Yey!'

Nicky said: 'Amazing News for @KianEganWL & @JodiAlbert_xxx Welcome to the world Koa ! happiest days ever - & just in time for Santa too!'

He signed it 'NGRJ', referring to his wife Georgina Ahern and their twin boys Rocco and Jay.

And Shane added: 'Delighted for Jodi ,Kian and baby Koa Fantastic news!!! Congrats guys!!!'

Kian will be able to spend lots of time with his son as Westlife are set to disband after a greatest hits album and a farewell tour next spring which will culminate in Croke Park in Dublin on June 23

And the source added that Kian is 'over the moon' that Jodi and Koa will be able to be there.

They added: 'It’s going to be a big family day out for them and now Kian will have his own family there.'

Koa is a traditional Hawaiian name said to mean ‘brave’, ‘bold’, ‘fearless’ or ‘warrior’ and it is also a wood which is native to Hawaii and is used to make musical instruments, particularly guitars and ukuleles. 

It’s a flowering tree in the pea family, fabaceae and is the second most common tree on the Hawaiian Islands. It’s also the fastest growing and can reach heights of 82 ft.

Last night, Kian revealed that the couple had come across the unusual monicker in a baby-name list ‘and liked it’. It certainly beats Rolan Bolan or Zowie Bowie.

I was going crazy when our twins came eight weeks early -- Georgina

GEORGINA Ahern has revealed how she felt like she was "going crazy" when her twin boys were born eight weeks prematurely.

The wife of Westlife singer Nicky Byrne has spoken candidly for the first time about the anxious days in the aftermath of Rocco and Jay's arrival.

The couple had only just returned from a Westlife tour when they were caught unawares and Georgina had to be rushed to hospital.

"My husband Nicky and I had just come home from a few weeks travelling on the road with the Irish band Westlife," she recalled in Tiny Footprints, a book published for the Irish Premature Babies charity.

"It had not been the most comfortable of times, being pregnant with twins on a tour bus, attending concerts, etc.

"I was happy and relieved when we got back home to Dublin, thinking we had at least a couple of weeks to get ready.

"Soon after we settled in back home we went to visit Nicky's parents; I remember it was a Wednesday. While we were there, they presented us with two adorable carrycots.

"Looking back on that day, I can clearly remember going to bed that night, thinking perhaps something was about to begin a wee bit too early.

"That next morning, we dashed into the NMH in Dublin, where I discovered I was going into premature labour.

"In the early hours of Friday, 20 April, the boys were delivered by emergency Caesarean section, eight weeks prematurely. And so began our journey into the world of precious premature babies."

The boys were just 1.28kg and 1.64kg when they were born and while their parents were able to spend some time with them on the night of the delivery, they found it "heartbreaking" to be separated from them due to their condition.

"When my stay in hospital was up and it was time to be discharged, we were devastated," Georgina wrote.

"It was a very emotional time, and this was exacerbated by my pregnancy hormones going crazy."

 

Kerry Katona says Brian McFadden is ‘not interested’ in their daughters

by: Lisa McGarry


erry Katona has blasted her ex-husband Brian McFadden and claimed that he couldn’t be less interested in the two children they share.

The troubled reality TV star shares two daughters – Molly and Lilly – with the former Westlife singer and has become involved in public disputes with him before over their welfare.

Once again, instead of ringing him up and sorting out their dispute, Katona has taken to the pages of a glossy magazine to air her issues and told OK magazine that Brian ‘rarely rings’ to speak to his girls.

The former Dancing On Ice contestant was describing her plans for Christmas, when she launched into this diatribe:

“One person I’m not expecting to hear from this Christmas is Brian McFadden,”

“He hardly pays for his kids, he rarely rings his kids and I hope he feels guilty because my four babies are so beautiful, intelligent, funny and amazing and he doesn’t seem to be interested in either Molly or Lilly.”

 So cross is Kerry with Brian, that she even compared him to her other ex, Mark Croft, who I think we would all agree is a pretty big scumbag. However, she claims that he is a better father to his children than McFadden and insisted that they are now “on good terms”, adding that he will be coming to see his two children – Max and Heidi – over the festive period.

We think she meant to turn that round for Brian

After seemingly ironing out their differences a while back and being pictured giving each other a hug goodbye, Kerry Katona and Brian McFadden are right back at square one again, apparently.

In her latest OK! magazine column, Kerry has let rip at the former Westlife singer and accused him of not being interested in their two daughters, Molly and Lilly.
“One person I’m not expecting to hear from this Christmas is Brian McFadden,” she / someone else wrote for her.

Blissfully unaware Brian

 “He hardly pays for his kids, he rarely rings his kids and I hope he feels guilty because my four babies are so beautiful, intelligent, funny and amazing and he doesn’t seem to be interested in either Molly or Lilly.”

Steve and Kerry were completely unaware they were being photographed

She goes on to reveal that she’ll be spending Christmas with her mum Sue, new boyfriend Steve Alce (who weirdly hasn’t been scared off with her talk of more babies and marriage), Molly and Lilly.
She appears to have another dig at Brian by mentioning Mark Croft – the father of her two youngest children – and says they are “on good terms” and he’ll be having their kids for Christmas day.
It was during Kerry’s marriage to Mark that she developed her cocaine problem and the two had a very public battle over the children.
We’re assuming Brian’s yet to get his copy of OK! because he generally tends to spill his inner most feelings over twitter.
The last time, they fell out, he called Kerry a “pig faced mole” – we can hardly wait to hear what creature he comes up with this time.

Westlife tickets on sale for new dates

Greatest Hits Vol. 2. Out now! Get yours too.

Extra Westlife tickets went on sale for the band's 2012 tour yesterday (December 19th), with new dates added.

The group will be traveling around the UK and Ireland in May and June next year, starting at the Metro Radio Arena in Newcastle on May 14th.

As many as 28 dates have been announced for the Westlife tour 2012 so far, each in major venues like Belfast's Odyssey Arena, Cardiff's Motorpoint Arena and the London O2 Arena.

However, it seems the length of the tour is constantly expanding, with new shows confirmed regularly.

The last date to be added to the itinerary was a fifth one at the Belfast Odyssey, tickets for which have just been released.

This could be a chance for Irish fans to get their hands on passes if they missed the opportunity to do so when the general sale for two other gigs in the city was held earlier this month.

Westlife's Kian Egan and Wife Jodi Albert welcome baby boy

Westlife star Kian Egan has become a dad. 

The singer and his wife Jodi Albert became proud parents of baby boy Koa, weighing in at 8lbs and 2 ozs, born at 6.10pm last night in Sligo General Hospital. 

It had been the couple's wish that their baby was born in Ireland, and in Kian's home town of Sligo.

"That was how we planned it and it went to plan except it happened a little early," Mr Egan told the Irish Independent, revealing that January 1 had been the due date of their little arrival. 

Mr Egan, a surfing fanatic, revealed the name Koa was a Hawaiian name which he and his wife had found while checking a list of names and they liked it.
