No Signs of Sister For Molly
Well, I reported 3 days ago that Kerry had given birth to a new little baby (well, I had said that there were rumours of her giving birth), but after Westlife and Bryan's appearance at the Childline concert in Ireland on Sunday, it looks like there is no new McFadden at the moment! But remember Kerry is due in about 2 days...
Remember, as soon as I know, it will be posted up here!

IT looks like WESTLIFE’s MARK FEEHILY took wishing for a white Christmas too far.
Mark dyed his barnet blond while in Ireland for the festive holiday.
He told me: “I got bored with my old hairstyle and I fancied a change.
“The
other lads have been giving me a bit of stick but they’re getting used to it.”
Mark and bandmates BRYAN McFADDEN, SHANE FILAN, NICKY
BYRNE and KIAN EGAN were in London yesterday shooting the video
for their new single Tonight — out on March 10.
Part of it will be shot in Mexico but will not feature the lads because Bryan does not want to be apart from his heavily pregnant wife KERRY.
**what do you think of Mark's new hair colour? Why not talk about it on the message board!**
Westlife & More Football! from Showbiz Ireland
Coronation Street's Keith Duffy has done it again - the likely Dublin lad has rounded up a host of Irish celebrities to challenge Sky One's TV Dream Team to a soccer match in Tolka Park.
The Keith Duffy Allstars Vs The Dream Team has become an annual event, with the Dream Team beating Keith's lads 4-3 last year.
But it's all just a fun day out to raise money for charity, so if you are a fan of Westlife or Coronation Street make sure you book your tickets at Ticketmaster now.
Keith will have celebrities such as Westlife's Nicky Byrne, Bryan McFadden, and Shane Filan, comedian Brendan O'Carroll, Popstars The Rivals Peter Smith, and many more.
It is also expected that some of Keith's Corrie pals will help him out on the day...
Kick off is at 12 noon on the 2nd of February and tickets are priced 15euro.

Shane To Be Godfather from The Sun
BRYAN McFADDEN and wife KERRY chose an unusual way to pick who they will ask to be the godfather to the baby they are expecting.
Bryan couldn’t decide which of his WESTLIFE mates to ask so he put all their names into a hat – and the couple picked out SHANE FILAN.
Westlife mate NICKY BYRNE revealed: “Shane will be godfather to Bryan’s baby. Bry put our names in a hat and Shane was the winner.”

Westlife Bonanza! from The Sun
WESTLIFE’s fab five each pocketed £647,000 last year as cash poured in from massive record sales, touring and merchandising.
And LOUIS WALSH’s management of the band made him rich to the tune of £1.2million. That does not include cash he earned as a judge on TV’s Popstars: The Rivals.
No wonder the boys had spending sprees in 2002.
Among purchases by SHANE FILAN and NICKY BYRNE were pricey engagement rings.
Shane and BRYAN McFADDEN also splashed out on Ferraris.
