Viva la Mega Kate 

We heard the shock news yesterday that Hussey have split up. No, us neither, but we're mentioning it not on the off chance that one of their fans or, indeed, someone that's actually heard of them visits this site, but so we can draw your attention to the website of the former Hussey and now solo 'star', Kate Sullivan.

Kate's website is quite easily the most unintentionally hilarious site we've seen in a long time. It's a masterpiece of optimism, a triumph of dreams over reality, of fantasy over facts and of a vaguely attractive girl doing her very best to look like a cheap prostitute. Highlights include her bio, featuring very few apostrophes and the claim that "Her sexy style and sassy attitude on stage has inevitably led to comparisons with Rachel Stevens and Beyonce.". We reckon that the comparison was something along the lines of "Kate is very much like a low-rent Rachel Stevens". Her diary page is depressingly empty, while her photo gallery is the very definition of 'Trying Too Hard'.

The cream of the site, however, is the fan mail page. This encourages you to send in your own message of support to Miss Sullivan, but does offer the caveat that "Unfortunately, due to the sheer volume of mail, we can’t print them all here, so make yours stand out from the crowd!". We think this claim is somewhat dubious if what they've published so far is genuinely the best out of what they've got. Our favourite is DenisM who writes "Let me take you around the world with me. I am a very shy international playboy, but I am sure you could bring me out of my shell. I also do a lot of diving. I bet you look good in a wetsuit. You can reply to me by phone 0************. Please do not reply to my email as it is my mums.".

We're going to keep an eye on Kate's career from now on and keep you updated on her progress. We desperately want her to succeed as we feel that she may be the most entertaining pop star the world has ever seen, even if it's not in the way she might be hoping for. So, as the website states "remember the name, Kate Sullivan. Because one thing is for sure, you'll never forget the performance.". No matter how much you might try.
