Nicky On Twitter?


According to Westlife.gr it looks like Nicky has a twitter...!!!
Here is what Westlife.gr wrote:

"Oh yes it looks like Nicky IS on Twitter!! I know there are many people faking profiles but in this case it looks like Nicky has a Twitter!

I got some emails from visitors of Westlife.GR asking if I know whether Nicky's page on Twitter is real and I do think it is, mainly because his brother Adam confirmed it both on his bebo and his Twitter and he also confirmed it to fans who asked him.

For those who don't know what I'm talking about, apparently Nicky is on Twitter:


TWITTER.COM/NICOBYRNE:http://twitter.com/nicobyrne

Ah in this case, it's sooo amazing to have a way to keep up with what Nicky is up to! Gooo him for opening one!

Irish popstars Westlife play secret gig at Wirral hotel


THEY have topped the charts, sold tens of millions of records and have countless fans - but one fan from Wirral, in particular, was in for a treat.

For the 50th birthday party of one lucky fan - and guests - at an exclusive Wirral hotel, they were entertained by Irish pop band Westlife for a full 45-minute set.

The secret gig had been organised by the wealthy husband as a surprise for his wife at the birthday party at the Hillbark Hotel, in west Wirral.

Around 100 guests were treated to the show in a marquee at the party in the luxury hotel’s grounds at Royden Park, Frankby.

One of those lucky enough to grab a sneak view said the band had arrived last Saturday afternoon and spent several hours doing sound checks after being jetted in from Ireland.

He said it had been a “very intimate performance” and, although not a fan himself, had recognised the songs from the band’s extensive back catalogue.

He said: “It was all very hush hush”.

“They had said they loved doing this kind of gig because it took them back to where they had started out, playing to small but appreciative audiences, and that it made a change from playing to huge stadiums.”

It is understood the band later went for a night out in Liverpool and were seen at the Mosquito Club.

It is not the first time the band have performed such a gig for a private party. A year ago, Westlife and Girls Aloud were reportedly hired to perform at a private 18th birthday.

They had been booked by a millionaire businessman to play at his daughter's party at Kenwick Park Hotel in Louth, Lincolnshire.

The hotel where the band performed itself has a curious history, originally built in 1891 on Bidston Hill, in Birkenhead, for the soap manufacturer Robert William Hudson.

Hillbark was sold in 1921 to Sir Ernest Royden and in 1928 was moved to its present site - brick by brick - finally being completed in 1931.

It had been used by the local authority before being bought by current owners, husband and wife team, Craig and Lisa Baker.

While in Wirral, last weekend, the band are also believed to have stayed at the luxury boutique Leverhulme Hotel, in Port Sunlight, also owned by the Bakers, and were seen by a number of surprised locals walking around admiring the historic village the following morning before jetting off that day.

When asked about the secret performance by the band, a spokesman for the hotels last night refused to comment.

JODI & KIAN'S HONEYZOOM

KIAN Egan and Jodi Albert are cutting short their honeymoon so they can zoom back home and hit the charts again.

The couple will tie the knot in a dream ceremony in Barbados on May 8.

They will fly off this week to prepare for the big day that has been snapped up by a celebrity magazine for EUR600,000.

But the hard working stars have ditched plans for a lengthy break so they can get straight back to work.

Jodi, 25, told the Irish Daily Mirror last night: "We're not hanging around for a long honeymoon - we're coming back to start work on our albums."

The couple have invited friends, family and celebrity pals to Barbados for the big day.

They will exchange vows at a romantic beach front hideaway and party the night away at a top secret location.

But any plans for a romantic getaway after the ceremony have been iced because of both Jodi and 28-year-old Kian's hectic band schedules.

Jodi is due to go in the studios the week after the wedding with her new girl band while Kian will return to the studio with Westlife as they launch a massive comeback following a year off.

Jodi added: "What we've decided is to go over to Barbados early and really enjoy the whole build up to the day. After the wedding things are going to be really hectic so in a way we are going to do the celebrating before hand.

"I have to go into the studio with the girls and we are going to start recording our first songs. So it's really exciting. And Kian is also going to be working on new Westlife material so we need to get back as soon as possible.

"The honeymoon will be about three days and then we're hoping on the plane and getting down to some hard work."

Jodi will be joined by her Irish girl band mates at the wedding as well as pals from her Hollyoaks stint.

Kian's Westlife pals will also jet in for the big day and are planning a week of partying with their wives in the tropical hideaway.

Jodi said: "Kian and I are both really chilled out about the day. We've done all the organising and we just want to enjoy it now.

"It's not going to be a massive wedding. We want it to be intimate and fun for everyone. I can't give away the exact location but it's somewhere very special to Kian and I and we're thrilled with it."

This week, we want to hear what you’d say to the band if you could send a message to them. Perhaps you’d want to let them know why you like them so much, or tell them about a special Westlife memory. Leave your messages over in the forum now.

Last week we asked you to describe your all-time favourite Westlife TV appearance. This is one of our favourites, written by RachaelByrne-xo.

“This definitely has to be The Westlife Show! I remember that night, I was at a friend’s party but I demanded we put it on. I couldn’t miss a whole hour of just the lads!!It was so great though. Especially knowing what the Fans think are the Top 5 Westlife songs and them to sing them so amazingly!I have to say, one of the best parts of that show was when they went to that woman’s house! Imagine having Nicky try on your Pj's and Kian sitting on your loo! Gosh. You'd never wash them again! Haha!It was such a great show, a show dedicated to JUST them, which makes it so much more fabulous! I still can’t stop watching it now after over a year lol xo”

I live my life by that motto now, and i always say it to my friends, and to the children i teach. I'll also bring up my children to follow that rule.
Thanks Mark, you gave me back the confidence to be me. And for that i will be eternally grateful."

QUIET BASH


Jay and Rocco to celebrate second Birthday party with peaceful family gathering in portuguese sun

By Clodagh Sheehy

Cute brothers Jay and Rocco may be Ireland's most famous twins but their second birthday on Monday will be a quiet affair.

The grandsons of former Taoiseach Bertie Ahern will celebrate at a family gathering in Portugal.

As the sons of Westlife's Nicky Byrne and Bertie's daughter Georgina, and the nephews of successful author Cecilia Ahern, the boys are no strangers to the spotlight, but there are no plans for a big birthday bash.

The pair, who have their own bebo page, were born by c-section at Dublin's Holles Street Hospital six weeks early and had to spend the first month of their lives in the hospital.

The boys weighed just slightly more than a bag of sugar between them when they were born, with Jay weighing just 2lb 13oz and Rocco a minuscule 2lb 11oz.

Since then, they have been thriving, growing sturdy and strong at their lavish Malahide home.

Energy

According to their grandfather they are "full of energy. They love fun and games".

They even poked fun at their famous grandfather before Christmas when he broke his leg and had it in a plaster cast.

"They were imitating me everywhere and falling on the ground pretending they had hurt their legs," Bertie said.

The twins have also appeared on the Late Late Show with their Dad as a surprise for one of Nicky's biggest fans, Shauna Byrne (10), just two months before she sadly lost her battle with cystic fibrosis in February.

Last year for their milestone first birthday, champagne flowed at a family party in the Grand Hotel in Malahide but this year is more of a family event.

Doting dad Nicky, took a year off from his chart-topping band to spend time with Georgina and the twins and has said he still wants to have more children.

"Hopefully we're not done yet -- we would love to have more kids.

"I have always said I would have five," Nicky said.

"I don't know if I can convince Georgina on that, but we'll see," he later revealed.

Post Of The Week:Week 10



Here's this week's topic: what's your favourite thing a Westlife member has ever said? Maybe it's a joke they made on a TV show, a quote from a magazine or even a conversation you had when you met them! Let us know what it is over in the forum

Last week, we asked which artist, alive or dead, you'd most like the band to duet with. Here's one of our favourites, from Gunners4EvEr. Check out all the rest in the forum

"There are a lot of great pop acts out there that could really duet with Westlife. I thought for quite a while, somebody like Beatles or the Kinks or Take That would've been cool. Though for some reason, I really wanna hear Westlife do I HAVE A DREAM with ABBA! It's kinda weird. But I do think there'll be that wow factor between them. I HAVE A DREAM is a really strong song, and the lyrics just mean a lot. And having Westlife sing with the original singers of this song would just be amazing! It'll just be the best duet ever!!"
