What Makes a Single Man
Brian McFadden may soon be finding himself more solo than he ever expected to be since leaving Westlife, as we've had reports - i.e. we've read the papers - that he and his wife Kerry Katona, as she'll always be to us, are on the verge of splitting up.
Naturally this is tragic news, if only because the reason Bryan left Westlife and became Brian was so that he could spend time with his family doing such activities as watching his babies run as that, along with drinking English tea and watching football, is what's real to him. If he no longer has a family, then there's nothing to stop him returning to the Westlife fold or, worse, releasing more of the god-awful sub-Bryan Adams shite that he considers to be music. Fortunately, we don't need to worry as they're pulling out all the stops to save their marriage; Max Clifford is involved and they're consulting a transexual marriage advice counselor called Auntie Graham, so it's good to see that they're taking this seriously.
Of course, what's most tragic about this news is that it comes in a week that should have been such a high for them as Kerry won the much coveted award of Best Celebrity Mum at some ceremony organised by OK Magazine. As we're not entirely sure in what way someone who leaves their children behind and buggers off to the Australian jungle to spend two weeks wearing a bikini on a profile raising TV show is a good mother, we can only assume that the other mums in the running for the award regularly beat their children with iron rods. Mind you, the awards can't really be considered in any way accurate or relevant given that the award for "Best Celebrity Couple" went to Stewart and Michelle from Big Brother, a title which is wrong on at least two counts.
