Boyzone are back

Post Take That reformation it’s what we’ve all been waiting for and the day has finally come – Boyzone are back and kicked off their UK tour in Belfast on Sunday night.

The whole crew – Ronan Keating, Shane Lynch, Stephen Gately, Mikey Graham and Keith Duffy have all been on an Atkins-style, no carbs diet and undergone an intensive fitness regime to beef up for the 33 shows they’re about to play around the country.

Apparently the highlight of the night is when the boys mix When The Going Gets Tough with DJ Eric Prydz’s Call On Me, which sees the boys running topless on treadmills.

Looks like its Boyzone’s moment in the limelight for the next few months, before Take That take over again at Christmas as promised by Barlow.


Eurovision flop

What a surprise – Britain flopped in the Eurovision song contest at the weekend at last place, alongside Poland, and Russia’s Dima Bilan took the top spot with 272 points (as opposed to Britain’s 14).

Andy Abraham got Terry Wogan’s support at least, who commented that Andy gave the performance of his life and deserved to get more points. “You have to say that this is no longer a music contest” commented Wogan, who also hinted that he might quit the show. What would Eurovision be without Wogan though...could things really get any worse?


In other news…
* Worst break-up in Hollywood history? Denise Richards are Charlie Sheen are currently in the scoring points stage in their divorce, with Charlie claiming at the weekend that Richards had emailed his new fiancé asking her for some of his sperm. Richards scored bonus points in her denying of the claim, which went something along the lines of, “I don’t want Charlie’s prostitute-tranny-infested sperm.” Ouch. Not that amicable then.
* Agyness Dean’s soon to be a movie star – soon to star in a film tentatively titled The Right Side of My Exultant Brain – alongside Dustin Hoffman’s son Jake. The film was co-written by Alanna Masterson, who plays in Agyness’s newly formed band Gene Jacket.
* All Apprentice fans need to know that the show for one week only is on tonight, as opposed to tomorrow, due to some football match or other (I think it’s something to do with England...) Anyway…apparently there’s a degree of controversy already around whoever gets fired on tonight’s episode, as certain newspapers have been banned from having access to them, despite being allowed to speak to all previously fired apprentice wannabes…
* Russell Brand has signed up to film a US chatshow. UK producer Box TV is making the eight-part series after Brand made such a good impression whilst promoting movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
