APRIL 08

 It's back to work for the boys, who've spent the last few weeks relaxing with family and friends and celebrating three special birthdays - Rocco and Jay's (Nicky's twins) and Kian's. The band flew down to Sydney yesterday to begin a whirlwind promotional tour. First stop will be visits to the top Sydney breakfast radio shows on Friday 2nd May - local fans can listen out for chats with the boys on Mix 106.5FM, Mix 97.3FM, 2GB and 2CH. The afternoon will be taken up with a flurry of interviews for press, websites and TV. They've then got a couple of days to prepare for the most exciting night in the Australian TV calendar - The Logies! The boys will be walking up the red carpet at the star-studded bash, then performing their new international single ‘Something Right' with a live orchestra. It's set to be an incredible show.No time for a lie-in the next morning as they have to be up bright and early to perform ‘Something Right' and ‘Us Against The World' on ‘Sunrise' the next day, before jetting over to New Zealand in preparation for the next leg of their arena tour.

The good Loife of Kian Egan and Jodie Albert

LOOKS like WESTLIFE crooner KIAN EGAN has been enjoying the good life of late, judging by his growing pot. His fiancée JODI ALBERT looks svelte and toned in a tiny bikini. But her beau has a powerful paunch spilling over his swimming shorts. He might sing like a popstar but he doesn’t look like one to me. The loved-up twosome were snapped sunning themselves in Barbados. That’s definitely The Loife.

Something kinda Oooh at 18th birthday party

Chart-topping bands Girls Aloud and Westlife performed at an exclusive party in Louth last night. The star-studded bash for an un-named 18-year-old Louth-area woman was held in a massive marquee adjoining Kenwick Park Hotel. Having entered the Top Ten with their latest single Can't Speak French the five-piece girl band was in a party mood for an exclusive date in Lincolnshire. They entertained around 150 guests who had taken over the 34-bedroomed hotel for the day and night to celebrate the teenager's birthday. They bopped the night away after a four-course meal in the Georgian-style hotel. After a 45-minute set, they were followed by Irish band Westlife, who led the Happy Birthday chorus to the teenager.

Band members sang Barry Manilow classic Mandy, followed by It's All about You and had their audience singing along to Flying Without Wings and You Raise Me Up. Their hour-long set finished at 12.30am. It was slightly later than scheduled as one of the band was delayed flying into Humberside Airport shortly before the party.

Security at the venue was tight. A management spokesman said security staff had to warn unwelcome photographers to leave the 320-acre estate. Owner Stuart Flynn said: "It has gone very well and was professionally done. There were about 150 guests at the birthday party and they have taken all of the hotel over." He said preparations for the party on the site had begun on Monday, with a pledge of total confidentiality for the family hosting the bash, as the hotel management has done for other exclusive events.Mr Flynn said: "We get them because we keep them confidential. As a venue we are doing more and more of them and have catered for 400-guest weddings. The big deals are coming through. The chap who booked it is very pleased. It has been a glamorous occasion. It was running a bit late as one of the four from Westlife had to fly into Humberside Airport last minute. They and Girls Aloud have been a delight to have here at Kenwick." The hotel and marquee were decorated with flowers and balloons all supplied in Lincolnshire. Mr Flynn said: "We stick to the same people and everyone locally has benefited." He said the mystery "party girl" had seemed happy with her celebrations. She is believed to be the same birthday girl who celebrated a 16th party two years ago in whose honour Will Young sang
