Blue News

Three stories of Blue shenanegans for you today. First comes the sad tale of Simon Webbe, who the tabs claim is so desperate for a girlfriend that he has taken to hanging out in posh designer shops and chatting up the sales assistants. One Sunday tab quotes him thus: "I've got great houses and a nice car, the only thing missing is a woman to go with the whole package." Well if you keep asking shop assistants if they want to be part of your package it's no wonder you're striking out, mate.

Meanwhile Duncan wants to take a short break from the band to launch a movie career by starring in the forthcoming 'Carry On London'. Apparently he's up for a part as a cabbie who has a steamy affair with Lady Isabella Hervey. Word is, though, that the band are unlikely to reschedule their tour just to allow him a bit of onscreen nookie.

Finally Anthony has been putting his foot in it. While recording with blind superstar Stevie Wonder recently, Ant got so nervous about meeting his hero that he asked him if he had "seen any good films recently". Ouch!

I'M UTTERLY HUMILIATED

The six months pregnant fiancée of Blue pop star Antony Costa told last night how he callously dumped her in a cruel telephone call.

Tearful Lucy Bolster, who was to wed the heart-throb singer next year, sobbed: "I'm devastated and feel completely abandoned. I can't believe it. It all feels like a bad dream."

Single mum Lucy went on: "He has changed from the man who has been a fantastic father to my son, as well as a great boyfriend, to someone who doesn't want to know me any more.

"Words can't describe how hurt I am."

Beautician Lucy, 23, who is expecting her baby in March, has been dating Antony, 22, for two years.

The pair were to tie the knot at Blenheim Palace, the £100million Oxfordshire estate of the 11th Duke of Marlborough.

But distraught Lucy - who has a two-year-old son, Joe, from a previous relationship - admitted she hasn't seen the singer for more than six weeks.

Speaking for the first time about the split, she said: "Antony called me about a month ago while he was on tour.

"I hadn't seen him since the beginning of November and, as far as I was concerned, everything was fine between us. So when I got the call to tell me it was over, I went into complete shock.

"He told me it was over, but wouldn't give me an explanation. I asked him was there someone else, but he denied it."

Lucy went on: "What is unforgivable, though, is that he hasn't even contacted Joe, who adores him.

"It seems like I'm living every girl's worst nightmare. I'm six months pregnant, and it looks like, for the second time, I'm going to become a single mum. I feel humiliated."

Lucy poured out her heart after moving back to her mum and dad's home in Enfield, North London, from Sawbridgeworth, Herts, where she and Ant had set up home.

She said: "I don't think he would have cheated on me. He's got more respect for me than that, but then again, I feel like I don't know anything.

"We've gone out for over two years now and were planning to get married.

Antony really wanted this baby, and we were looking forward to becoming a family. I've heard he is planning to buy a house for me, my son Joe and our baby but, to be honest, I'm not interested in that. It all means nothing if Antony isn't there.

"I've been crying constantly. What hurts the most though is that Antony won't tell me why he wants to split.

"I've been phoning him but he won't return my calls. He's just blanking me. I'm utterly confused by the situation. If someone had said two months ago we would be finished by Christmas I would never have believed them.

"I'm having a little girl in March. While I can't wait until she is born, the happiness is mixed with sadness and a little bit of fear now I know I'll be going it alone." Lucy and Antony broke the news that she was expecting in July and held a lavish party at their new £500,000 home close to Posh and Becks' mansion.

Lucy is a close pal of Posh's sister Louise and has met the pop star at "Beckingham Palace".

Only a few weeks ago Antony, now on tour with the band, said: "Lucy has a son from her previous relationship, so we're looking forward to having a big family. I'm the happiest man in the world." But yesterday, Lucy also revealed she had given up her own career as a systems analyst to spend more time with Antony.

She added: "I met him when Blue were starting out and have seen their popularity soar over two years.

"His work means he's away a lot, so in February I gave up work to be able to travel around with him. Over the last four weeks I have been racking my brain to think of what I might have done wrong. One day everything's fine, the next it's over."

Lucy, who is taking a beauty and holistic therapy course, admitted she would still have Antony back.

She added: "Despite the fame, me and Antony had a pretty normal relationship and as far as I was concerned he was the one. I've never been into the showbiz scene. When you have children your priorities change. Despite what has happened I still want Antony back, I love him.

"I can't imagine life without him."

Lucy was speaking on her way home from a trip to Disneyland in America to cheer up her and Joe.

She admitted the future looked bleak. "I feel like I'm making a fool of myself ringing him constantly and not getting my calls returned. It feels like he's a stranger who I can't call.

"I haven't spoken to the rest of the Blue band, they're all lovely boys but I don't want to get them involved.

"Last year we spent Christmas in Barbados with Antony's family, this year it doesn't look like we'll be spending Christmas together at all."

Blue's meteoric rise to fame began in May 2001, when the London lads released their debut single All Rise. Their next singles, Too Close and If You Come Back, both went to No.1 and by the end of the year they'd won the Best Newcomer award at the Brits. Their next album teamed them up with Elton John for the hit Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word.

This year, they have won another Brit for Best Pop Act, they've been named the face of Pepsi in a £50million deal and have just completed their third album.

Lee nicks off with his mum

AS one quarter of boyband Blue, Lee Ryan has a fair bit of cash. So
we were surprised to see him smuggling booze and food out of a posh
London ball.

The pop heart-throb was with bandmates performing at the swish £3000-
a-head La Dolce Vita event on Thursday.

But as the lads dashed offstage Lee, who was with mum Sheila, started
grabbing all the food. Meanwhile Duncan James didn't get a bite to
eat as he was mobbed for autographs by guests. That might explain the
long face.

Warum rastet Boygroup-Sänger Lee Ryan so oft aus?
„Hau Ryan“ hat wieder zugeschlagen!

Der britische Sänger Lee Ryan (20) – immer wieder lässt er seine Fäuste sprechen. Jetzt prügelte er in London unkontrolliert auf Fotografen ein. Wird aus dem schnuckeligen Teenie-Idol langsam ein brutaler „Hau Ryan“?

Und wieder ein schlimmer Pöbel-Anfall!

Er sieht so unschuldig aus – doch er prügelt, pöbelt, randaliert: „Blue“-Sänger Lee Ryan ist laut Boulevard-Blatt „Mirror“ nach einer langen Party-Nacht in einem Londoner Nachtclub auf die Fotografen losgegangen. Ein Augenzeuge zum „Mirror“: „Die Fotografen waren für ihn wie ein rotes Tuch. Er torkelte und sagte, wenn sie nicht verschwänden, würde er ihre Kameras zertrümmern. Das hat sie nicht gekümmert, also tickte Lee aus.“

Und zwar nicht zu knapp: „Sein erster Schwinger ging wegen seines Alkohol-Pegels eine Meile daneben. Doch mit dem zweiten zerschmetterte er ein Blitzlicht“, so der Zeuge gegenüber dem „Mirror“.

Das wütende Opfer David Abbey: „Lee ist ein Kind – er kann sich einfach nicht kontrollieren. Er gehört an eine Hundeleine. Ich gehe notfalls vor Gericht, bis ich Schadenersatz für meine kaputte Kamera bekomme.“

Warum flippt der Nachwuchs-Musiker nur immer so aus?

Seine schockierende Pöbel-Bilanz:

  • Im August war das Bürschlein hackenstramm von einer Polizeistreife angehalten und sofort festgenommen worden
  • Zwei Wochen später prügelte sich „Hau Ryan“ mit Türstehern in einem Londoner Club – wieder im Suff
  • Kurz danach randalierte er sternhagelvoll in einem Hotel in Brighton (England), belästigte Personal und Gäste

Und jetzt die Attacke auf die Paparazzi! Der Pop-Musiker benimmt sich nicht wie der nette Schmuse-Bubi von nebenan, sondern wie ein entfesselter Rock-Star. Schlummert in ihm eigentlich ein richtig harter Bad Boy, den er nur nicht zeigen darf? Oder weckt der Alkohol die Bestie in ihm? Denn bei all seinen Ausfällen war der Popper stets im Vollsuff. Und uns fällt eine Parallele auf: Ähnlich verhielt sich Mega-Star Robbie Williams gegen Ende seiner Zeit bei der Ur-Boygroup „Take That“...

Was Lee im Job nicht darf, das lässt er offenbar anders raus. Immer nur treuherzig gucken, brav und süß sein – vielleicht sollten die Manager von weichgespülten Boygroups über ein Anti-Aggressions-Training für ihre Schützlinge nachdenken...

Lee-thal Weapon

Calm ... Lee poses for
picture with brunette

 

LEE RYAN lashed out at a photographer and smashed his camera after he refused to stop taking pictures of the star at a nightclub.

The angry BLUE singer, nicknamed the Clown Prince Of Pop, was pictured with a pretty brunette outside London’s 10 Rooms early yesterday morning.

Moody ... singer fled in cab

But things soon turned nasty when the boy band singer turned on a snapper and damaged his camera.

The pop star then fled in a cab with some pals.

Vicious ... singer Lee lashes out at photographer

A source said: “Lee lashed out because he had already posed for the photographer.

“He warned he would smash the camera if he didn’t stop – so he did exactly that.”

Blue – Lee, DUNCAN JAMES, SIMON WEBBE and ANTONY COSTA – have joined with STEVIE WONDER for their new single Signed, Sealed, Delivered, out Monday.

Guilty!

Poor old Lee Blue has ended up in trouble again, after smashing a photographer's equipment in a late night brawl. It seems the slap-happy popster was leaving a smart showbiz do with Girls Aloud at London's trendy 10 Rooms club when a couple of snappers ran up to him to get one of those candid shots we love to see.

Being a reasonable sort, Lee offered to pose for a couple of snaps if the paps promised to go away. But when one followed him down the street, still merrily clicking away, that's when the trouble started. A wild kick smashed the photgrapher's flash gun, and now he's looking to sue.

David Abbey - the pic-boy in question - has told the Mirror: "Lee is a child - he can't control himself. He needs to be put on a leash. I'll pursue this through the courts unless I get compensation for the 1,000 pounds worth of damage he has caused to my camera."

So, still chasing after Lee then. Haven't you learned your lesson yet, Dave?

NEW HIT FOR LEE

Blue hellraiser Ryan in late-night bust-up

SOMEONE get Lee Ryan into anger-management classes - quick.

 

The pop bad-boy could be heading for another run-in with the police after a bust-up with two photographers outside a London nightclub.

Blue heart-throb Lee, who had been partying inside the swanky 10 Rooms with Girls Aloud stars Nicola Roberts, Nadine Coyle and Kimberley Walsh, stumbled out at 3am with a gorgeous brunette.

Faced with a barrage of flashbulbs, he told snappers he'd pose if they'd leave him alone. But things turned ugly when one chased him up the street and refused to quit taking his picture.

"That was like a red rag to a bull," one witness tells us. "Lee stumbled up and said that if they didn't get lost, he'd smash their cameras. They didn't back down so Lee lashed out.

"His drunken haymaker missed one guy by a mile but a second wasn't so lucky - Lee's flying kick smashed his flash gun."

The snappers later reported the matter to the police and are demanding compensation for their broken equipment.

Furious freelancer David Abbey said: "Lee is a child - he can't control himself. He needs to be put on a leash

"I'll pursue this through the courts unless I get compensation for the £1,000 worth of damage he has caused to my camera."

Since Blue became Britain's top boy-band, Lee, 20, has cemented his hell-raising reputation.

In August, he was thrown out of Browns nightclub for being drunk and abusive. Later that night, he was found to be over the drink-drive limit and later banned for 18 months.

At the swanky Copthorne hotel in Newcastle, Lee is said to have sprayed guests with a fire extinguisher. And at Brighton's Seattle Hotel, he allegedly used one to attack the manager.

He has also been accused of fighting bouncers at London's Elysium and losing his rag with airport staff. Last night, a friend of the star claimed: "Lee posed for the photographers but they continued to harass him.

"He asked them three times to leave him alone."

The star's spokesman said: "Lee was being harassed. He stopped and posed but they just wouldn't leave him alone."

Lee Ryan schlug Paparazzo

Er hat Liam Gallagher als Chef-Sauf und Raufbold der UK-Szene abgelöst. Im August erst verlor Lee Ryan seinen Führerschein nach einer besoffenen Nachtfahrt inklusive Attacke auf 'nen' Polizisten. Nun durfte ein Fotograf die Faust des Blue-Sängers von nahe sehen. Lee haute zu, als der Paparazzo ihn und eine Brünette trotz Warnung weiter knipste. Ein Zeuge: "Ryan sagte dem Mann, er werde ihm seine Kamera zerschlagen, wenn er nicht damit aufhören würde - und exakt das tat er danach auch.

Karriere statt Family

Beim aktuellen Blue-Song Guilty schmelzen die Girls reihenweise dahin, doch statt mit seiner Liebsten unterm Weihnachtsbaum zu kuscheln, entpuppte sich jetzt ausgerechnet Anthony als knallharter Herzensbrecher: Er trennte sich von seiner Verlobten Lucy, die in drei Monaten ihr gemeinsames Kind erwartet!

Der Grund für den fiesen Split: Der volle Terminkalender der Band. Ein Insider bestätigte, dass Anthony Lucy in der letzten Zeit kaum gesehen hat. Gerade jetzt, wo sie ihn am meisten braucht! Kein Wunder, dass Lucy völlig verzweifelt ist. Ein Freund: "Sie fühlt sich im Stich gelassen. Sie ist im sechsten Monat schwanger, da kann man schließlich nicht einfach sagen: O.k., es hat nicht funktioniert, also verschwinde ich ohne darüber ein großes Aufheben zu machen."

Aus dem Blue-Management hieß es dazu, Anthony versichere, sich 100 %ig finanziell um die beiden zu kümmern und ein Haus für Lucy und das Baby zu kaufen. Ein gebrochenes Herz lässt sich damit allerdings nicht kitten...

HOT PEOPLE WITH SEAN O'BRIEN

BLUE star ANTHONY COSTA has left fiancee LUCY BOLSTER heart-broken -
by calling off their wedding just three months before she has his
baby.

A friend of Lucy said: "She's really upset - she feels she's been
abandoned.

"After all, she's six months pregnant and can't just say, 'Oh well,
it's gone wrong so I'll walk away without a fuss'.

"She feels totally let down and goes between being very angry and
very hurt by it all. She's got her family to support her - but this
is certainly not what she expected."

The decision by Anthony, 22, to finish with 23-year-old Lucy - who
has a son Joseph, two, from a previous love - really was out of the
Blue.

The couple recently bought a ?00,000 house near Posh and Becks'
mansion in Sawbridgeworth, Herts.

Now Lucy has gone away and plans to move back to her parents' home in
Essex.

It is such a contrast to the summer - when she and Anthony threw a
star-studded showbiz party to seal their engagement after his
proposal last year on the Costa del Sol.

Announcing the preg-nancy in August, Anthony even said: "We're over
the moon as we've been talking about it for a while and have been
trying.

"We'll marry next year and look forward to having a big family. I'm
the happiest man in the world."

Lucy also gushed about their wedding - which was due to be held at
Blenheim Palace - saying: "My son Joseph will be a pageboy and all
our friends will be there, including Blue. I am so excited. I can't
wait to marry Anthony.

"It should be an absolutely perfect day."

Since then, though, cracks have appeared in their relationship.

A band insider said: "Anthony's work has meant he hasn't seen much of
Lucy recently."

Last night, a Blue spokesman confirmed the split. He said: "No one
else is involved and Anthony has pledged his 100 per cent support
financially.

"He plans to buy a home for Lucy and the baby."

BLUE lads Duncan James and Lee Ryan snubbed their official after-show party to hit a Glasgow casino.

Hunky Duncan left his girlfriend Anya Lahiri to party with the stage crew as he went on his ultimate boys night out.

The band, who have been performing three sell-out gigs at Glasgow's SECC, were expected to attend a VIP bash at Glasgow's Cube club on Wednesday night.

But the boys chose to have a late night flutter on the tables of Clydeside's Rotunda Casino.

During the day, stringent security checks had been carried out at the Queen Street nightclub by the band's management, who demanded 150 VIP armbands for the boys and their entourage.

Some of their close friends had flown up from London. But on the night the roulette tables proved to be too much of an attraction for Duncan and Lee.

Both boys had joined as members on Monday night before they started rehearsals.

As band members Simon Webbe and Anthony Costa strummed guitars in their hotel the Glasgow Milton Duncan and Lee got rid of some of their dosh at the blackjack and roulette tables.

Hairy Christmas

It probably doesn't come as any surprise that with all those showbiz parties not even popstars are beyond the Yuletide bloat. In a TOTP magazine interview due out today, no wit wonder Lee Blue confesses to a particularly hairy festive experience.

"One morning over Christmas I woke up with really bad guts," Lee 'fessed. "I went to see my mum and cried, me guts are killing me!" Full up with mince pies, turkey stuffing and those little, round sausages wrapped in bacon no doubt, the low-browed loafer continued, "Then, when I farted, poo shot out me trousers and landed on the floor!" Euuuuuuw!

Notice we're not making any wise cracks [Oops!] about Yule logs and giving them a dusting. [Ah, damn and we tried so hard as well!]

Lee war blau! Lee Ryan und Alkohol, diese Kombi geht so gar nicht! Jetzt ist der Blue-Sänger mal wieder unangenehm aufgefallen: Lee randalierte im Suff in einem Hotel! Gemeinsam mit Bandkumpan Anthony kippte der 20-Jährige ein paar Schnäpse in der Hotelbar, dann zog er grölend durchs Haus. Mit einem BH bekleidet soll er sich dann den Feuerlöscher geschnappt, und den Hotelmanager, der ihn beruhigen wollte, mit Löschschaum eingeseift haben!
Natürlich tat Lee die Aktion am nächsten Tag schon wieder super leid, mit Konzerttickets und signierten CDs entschuldigte er sich kleinlaut bei den Hotelgästen. Vielleicht greift Lee ja demnächst wie alle Briten zum Nationalgetränk Tee!

Skandal-Boy Lee kommt aus den Negativ-Schlagzeilen einfach nicht raus! Auf der aktuellen Blue-Tour in England ließ er nacheinander in zwei Nobelhotels die S** raus und wurde unter anderem gefilmt, als er sich mit zwei Groupies im Whirlpool vergnügte...

Obwohl Lee ja gerne mit seinen Weibergeschichten prahlt, kann er froh sein, dass das brisante Tape nicht in falsche Hände geriet! Nachdem sich zuerst das Personal genüßlich ein Bild von Lees Schäferstündchen machen konnte, landete das Video in der Hand des seriösen Hotelmanagers, der die Aufnahmen aus Rücksicht auf den Ruf des Luxusdomizils sofort löschen ließ!

Ganz so lautlos ging der nächste Blue-Skandal allerdings nicht über die Bühne. Als die Jungs auf ihrer nächsten Tour-Etappe in Brighton mit ihrem Gefolge erst die Bar auf den Kopf stellten und sich anschließend sturzbetrunken auf dem Korridor mit Feuerlöschern eine ausgelassene Schaumschlacht lieferten, hagelte es an der Rezeption des noblen "Seattle Hotel" Beschwerden von genervten Gästen.

Am nächsten Morgen beeilten sich Lee und Konsorten, sich wegen der Lärmbelästigung und der ausschweifenden "Aftershow-Party" zu entschuldigen und zückten als Friedensangebot ein paar Freikarten für ihre nächste Show...

„Pack meine Brüste und quetsch' sie“, schrie Ryan eine Frau an
Vollrausch! Blue-Sänger
randalierte im Hotel

 

Wie viel Pöbel steckt in diesem smarten Bubi?

Lee Ryan (20), Sänger der Brit-Band „Blue“, trällerte sich mit schmalzigen Pop-Balladen in die Herzen der Teenies. Blickt brav und treuherzig in Kameras, legt den Kopf schmachtend zur Seite. Doch trinkt der smarte Bursche ein paar Gläser zu viel, verwandelt er sich in einen pöbelnden Proleten.

Erst im August war das Bubi-Gesicht sternhagelvoll von einer Polizeistrafe gestoppt und festgenommen worden. Zwei Wochen später prügelte er sich mit einem Türsteher in einem Londoner Club – wieder blau. Und jetzt wütete er volltrunken in einem Hotel in Brighton (England). Wird Bürschlein Ryan zum schlimmsten Pop-Prügler seit Liam Gallagher („Oasis“)?

Alkohol verwandelt Bubi-Gesicht Lee in einen tobenden Pöbel

 

30 der 71 Zimmer hatten „Blue“ im Seattle Hotel in Brighton (England) blockiert und an der Rezeption Benehmen und Anstand gleich mit abgegeben.

Hemmunglos kippten Ryan und sein Band-Kumpel Anthony Absynth, einen klebrigen Wermut-Schnaps, der zügig in den Kopf steigt. Ryan zerzauste sich die Haare und torkelte gröhlend durchs Hotel. Das berichtet die Tageszeitung „Sun“. Er zog einen BH an, stürmte in die Hotel-Bar und lallte zu einer Frau: „Hey, fass' mir an die Brüste und quetsch' sie.“

„Blue“ wurden durch ein Duett mit Elton John bekannt

 

Als ein Hotel-Manager den trunkenen Popper beruhigen wollte, riss Ryan einen Feuerlöscher von der Wand und spritzte den Mann ab. Im Treppenhaus erwischte er mit dem Löschschaum auch noch ein paar andere Hotelgäste.

Bis morgens um 5 Uhr wüteten Ryan und Anthony im Hotel, konnten sich erst dann beruhigen und schliefen ein.

Nach dem Ausnüchtern schlichen die Nachwuchs-Musiker kleinlaut durch die Flure und entschuldigten sich bei anderen Hotelgästen mit Konzert-Eintrittskarten und signierten „Blue“-CDs.

Vielleicht sollten es die beiden demnächst mit dem Lieblingsgetränk aller Briten versuchen – Tee. Der ist alkoholfrei und macht gar nicht erst so aufgeregt... (lut.) 

Kumpel Anthony gab im Hotel ordentlich mit Gas

Blue singer Lee goes on
bar rampage ... in a bra

 

POP plonker Lee Ryan has gone on a drunken rampage at a seafront hotel.

The bad-boy Blue singer DRANK super-strength absinthe, SOAKED the deputy manager with a fire extinguisher and TERRIFIED a 12-year-old girl.

He then ran back into the bar wearing a BRA and asked a woman to “squeeze my boobs”.

Witnesses said Lee — famed for his bad-boy antics — was with band member Anthony Costa, 21.

One guest said: “There was a mob of about 30 in the bar. Lee started to get really drunk and was screaming and rolling around on the floor.

"He and Anthony then started running up and down the corridors and sprayed each other with fire extinguishers.

“One woman came out of her room saying she had a terrified 12-year-old who had been woken up by the commotion.

“The manager told Lee and Anthony to be quiet — and got drenched with the extinguisher.”

Blue had booked more than 30 of the 71 bedrooms at Seattle Hotel in Brighton, where they were performing.

A spokesman for Blue said: “There was no offence meant. It was just high jinks.”

The band is now set to reimburse guests kept awake until 5am by Lee, 20.

They have also pledged concert tickets and signed records for the scared girl.

Dass Blue-Sänger Lee Ryan sehr offenherzig mit seinem Sexualleben umgeht, ist allseits bekannt. Neben irren Phantasien mit Aliens entgehen auch seine üblichen Frauengeschichten nicht gerade selten der Öffentlichkeit.

Jetzt gibt es scheinbar sogar Anschauungsmaterial über eines seiner Abenteuer. So soll Lee gemeinsam mit zwei Groupies in den Wellness-Bereich eines Hotels in Süd-England eingedrungen sein und sich dort vergnügt haben. Doch so ungestört sich die drei auch fühlten, sie wurden von einer Überwachungskamera gefilmt und sorgten somit für mächtig Gesprächsstoff unter den Hotelangestellten.

Pop Bad Boy Lee in Blue Movie Scandal

Shocked hotel staff discovered a real life Blue Movie on cctv tape – with the band’s sex-mad singer Lee Ryan in the lead role.

The rampant star was caught on camera romping with two girls in the spa at Bournemouth’s posh Highcliff Marriott

Lee, 20, sneaked into the leisure suite for a kinky threesome with the two Blue fans after staff had locked up.

When bosses saw the tape they were so terrified it would ruin the hotels reputation that they called an emergency meeting and banned staff from revealing details of the sex romp. It is believed that the cctv footage has now been wiped over.

An insider said: “the managers called everyone together to stop the news leaking to the press. It was a sensation at the hotel, especially because it was on tape. The staff were all talking about it.”

Blue were staying at the five-star hotel, which is one of Bournemouth’s most prestigious, on November 10th, when Lee and fellow band members – Antony Costa, 22, Simon Webbe, 24 and Duncan James, 24 – were performing at the Bournemouth International Centre. But Lee just couldn’t resist staging his own after-show performance.

The hotel source explained: “Shortly after the concert finished, about ten groupies came into the hotel, then Blue sneaked in through the back door. Later on Lee and two girls broke into the spa area after closing time and had sex in the Jacuzzi. Obviously they had quite a party in there”

It’s not the first time Lee has been caught having sex in a public place. He recently did the dirty with two girls in the VIP lounge of London’s Chinawhite club, potted a groupie on a pool table in a London recording studio and romped with a blonde in a toilet at the Cannes Film Festival.

Lee Ryans Amateur-Movie

Plant Lee Ryan eine Film-Karriere? In einem Luxus-Hotel in Bournemouth machte er schon mal einen Probedreh.

Location: der Whirlpool seines Apartments. Hauptdarsteller: er selbst und zwei von ihm persönlich gecastete Fans.

Der lustige Mini-Movie entstand ohne Skript und Regisseur, die spontanen Dialoge beschränkten sich im wesentlichen auf Ohs und Ahs, die Garderobe der Akteure war höchstsommerlich leicht. Die Angestellten des Mariott bestaunten das Ü-Kamera-Tape und löschten.

SINGING SHANE IS REALLY LOVIN' IT

There's no stopping Shane Richie. The EastEnders actor, charity singer and Grease theatre star is now an honoury member of boyband Blue.

Shane, who plays Alfie Moon in the BBC1 soap, is pals with the group's Anthony Costa, and went to see their Guilty tour in Brighton on Saturday night.

And much to the fans' delight, when Ant, Lee Ryan, Duncan James and Simon Webbe - shone the spotlight on Shane, 39, he jumped up on stage. "It was amazing," reveals our source. "They did a rendition of Grease's Summer Lovin' and the crowd went wild."

And Shane was soon up again belting out All Rise and Wham's I'm Your Man, which he released to raise money for Children In Need.

The lads are hoping to beat off stiff competition for the Christmas No 1 with a version of Signed, Sealed, Delivered, recorded with Stevie Wonder and Angie Stone, which will be released on December 15.

Duncan: Kein Solo-Vertrag

Wenn Blue einmal den Punkt ohne Rückkehr beim Band-internen Streit erreichen, müssen die Popfans von Duncan James Abschied nehmen. Der Sänger hat einen hoch dotierten Solovertrag für die Zeit nach Blue abgelehnt.

"Wir haben ihm einen Deal über zwei Alben angeboten, der umgerechnet 1,5 Millionen Euro wert war. Erstaunlicherweise hatte er kein Interesse", so ein Sprecher des Blue-Labels "Innocent". Anscheinend möchte Dunc mit Hilfe von Tara Palmer-Tomkinson ein großer Kino-Held werden.

Blue Go Bad

Open the Blue Photo GalleryWell no one can accuse Blue of not catering to all ages, at their Wembley gig this week the phwoarsome foursome went from being decked out in prison get up to a full-on fancy dress Michael Jackson medley.

Thankfully there was no dangling of babies, however the audience were, er, treated to the likes of such Jacko greats as 'Smooth Criminal', 'Beat It' and even 'Thriller', complete with zombies (but no Cheeky Girls)!

One happy Blue fan told the Pops: "It was hilarious! They were all dressed as Jackos in black suits with blue spangley hats for 'Beat it' and 'Smooth Criminal' and red cropped leather Jackets for 'Thriller'. It was cool, although Simon looked like a girl in his red outfit."

How's that for attention to detail, eh?

Blue have gone straight to the top of the charts with their third album Guilty, and it's not like the others.

The boys have decided to try a more rocky sound this time, and Duncan explained why they went for something a bit different.

He said: "The first album we tried out some Motown. The second album we did some dancing.

"It was like, let's try something different boys. Where shall we go? Let's take it a bit rocky."

More ballads too

But this doesn't mean they've ditched the ballads that fans love.

The first single, also called Guilty, reached number three in the chart.

"It's a ballad, it's a classic ballad, it's got a beautiful melody. And I don't think people expected us to come back with something like that, I think it's good to keep people guessing," said Lee.

No split

And following a few rumours of a band split it's good news for fans of the cheeky foursome.

"It's just that people want to say that to make a story - we are not splitting," confirmed Anthony.

Blue haben Angst vor Frauen!

Ausgerechnet Sprücheklopfer Lee und seine Bandkumpel haben in einem Interview mit dem People Magazin zugegeben, dass ihnen ihre meist weibliche Fangemeinde manchmal richtig unheimlich ist. Gerade die älteren Mädchen sind demnach offenbar wesentlich hartnäckiger, wenn´s darum geht, den knackigen Boys an die Wäsche zu gehen...

Duncan über die "Blue-Phobie": "Wenn wir nach unseren Shows etwas trinken gehen, sind die Frauen über 21 wie verrückt hinter uns her. Sie fassen uns zwischen die Beine und machen alle möglichen Sachen, vor allem, wenn sie etwas getrunken haben ... All diese Frauen wollen ein Stück von uns. Sie halten uns wohl für ziemlich scharf."

Eigentlich könnten sich die Jungs ja geschmeichelt fühlen, doch Dunc & Co. wollen alles andere, als nur auf ein "Objekt der Begierde" reduziert zu werden. James: "Die kaufen doch keine einzige unserer Platten!" Also Mädels, holt euch Blue-Scheiben oder lasst eure Finger von den Buben ;-)

BLUE'S QUEEN

Simon secretly dating Miss England

Suzanne Kerins

 

BLUE singer Simon Webbe is secretly dating the new Miss England, I can reveal.

Unlike bandmates Duncan James and Lee Ryan, the 25-year-old hunk has apparently remained steadfastly single.

But I can reveal Simon, who has been trying to keep the romance under wraps, has met up for a string of dinner dates with beauty queen Jackie Turner over the past month.

Simon met stunning Jackie when he was one of the judges at this year's Miss England contest at the Po Na Na night club in Hammersmith, west London last month.

I'm sure he wasn't showing any bias, but it certainly wouldn't have harmed the 25-year-old Miss Dorset's chances.

And after she was crowned he made his move by asking her out on a date.

Not that she was complaining.

My spies inform me that Simon and Jackie from Bournemouth have become incredibly close.One pal told me: "It's early days but they both seem very keen indeed.

"They only met last month but have already been out together a number of times.

"She is touring the Far East at the moment, but is planning to see lots more of him when she's back in the country."

Jackie - a model and qualified personal trainer - flew out of England on Thursday night.

She and the other Miss World hopefuls are now on a tour of Asia ahead of the big ceremony in China on December 5.

After winning the Miss England title, Jackie spoke of her hopes for the world final.

"It's fingers crossed," she said.

Meanwhile, Simon and his Blue bandmates began their UK and Ireland tour with a sell-out concert in Belfast last Tuesday night.

He and the rest of the boys will undoubtedly be celebrating today when they are confirmed as being at No 1 with their new album, Guilty.

Despite being linked with the likes of Dannii Minogue since Blue rose to chart stardom, Simon has remained resolutely single - although he has boasted of having sex with an ex-love on a car bonnet on the hard shoulder of the busy M62 between Liverpool and Leeds.

Nice.

It was later revealed that the former Port Vale footballer has a six-year-old daughter from a relationship with ex-girlfriend Nichola Jones when he was just a teenager.

Simon has said of his daughter: "Not a day goes by when I don't think of her.

"She knows I'm in Blue and she loves my music and likes dancing to it.

"We meet in town - go to the park and McDonalds and do daddy things. She seems happy and polite. She is everything I've ever really dreamed about."

Slam Dunc'd 
Oh dear. We wouldn't want to be Duncan Blue these days. Not only does the poor fella have to deal with Ant's moods and Lee's...well just Lee, he's now caught between his girlf Anya Lahiri and celebrity beanpole Tara Palmer-Tomkinson.

According to the Sun, Dunc's working relationship with Tara PT (they run production company Meltdown together) is causing problems for girlf Anya, who is becoming increasingly jealous of Tara.

Tara told the Sun: "I've got bigger fish to fry my own age. Duncan is six years younger than me. I know Duncan and he is a naughty boy and whatever it is they've got going on she'll have to get used to this sort of thing."

"But if I was her I wouldn't like seeing me with Duncan," added Tara, "what girl would?"

We reckon it's a matter of perspective. Viewed from a ninety degree angle, Tara's pretty hard to spot anyway.

Blue
Guilty
(Innocent)

"Pop will eat itself". Never a truer word has been spoken and if Blue's latest offering is anything to go by they are about to complete what has been a hearty and eventful meal. Guilty is, in equal parts, vapid, bland, hopelessly derivative, unimaginative and, occasionally, downright offensive.

It's sad to think that in a world that has so many talented and inspiring musicians, including ones within the sphere of pop, it's Lee, Duncan, Simon and Antony that are held up as being the pick of the pops.

Quite where such an accolade has come from, other than from the pen of some satanic marketing executive, is staggeringly. There is not one moment of the ballad-heavy, drippy, sugar-sweet overdose of Guilty that deserves even a second listen.

This is the sound of a band more interested in increasing their tabloid column inch count with their various late night shenanigans and celebrity ligging, than in their music. There is no effort, no emotion, no desire in any of the tunes on offer. Whether it be the cod-Justin high pitched tedium of "Stand Up", the wimpy fake heartbreak of "Guilty", the limp pop-disco nonsense of "Rock The Night" or chugging awful drippy seriousness of "Walk Away".

Not even the presence of the legendary Stevie Wonder and the equally fantastic Angie Stone on "Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I'm Yours" can get the party started. Their appearance only serves to show how untalented these four lads are.

Blue should change their name to Grey, so non-descript is this offering. There are rumours that they are on the verge of splitting. If Guilty is the best they have in them, let's hope such rumours are true.

Tara rant at Dunc's girl Anya

TARA PALMER-TOMKINSON laid into DUNCAN JAMES’s girlfriend for being annoyed at how much time she spends with the BLUE heart-throb.

TPT ranted about ANYA LAHIRI after flying to Belfast to watch the band kick off their UK tour.

Tara — who is a co-partner with Duncan in TV production company Meltdown — said: “I can’t be bothered worrying about what she is thinking.

“I’ve got bigger fish to fry my own age. Duncan is six years younger than me.

“At the end of the day, Anya is 19 and going out with Duncan who is in one of the biggest boy bands.

“I know Duncan and he is a naughty boy and whatever it is they’ve got going on she’ll have to get used to this sort of thing. I don’t need to be worrying about what she thinks.

“But if I was her I wouldn’t like seeing me with Duncan, what girl would?

“Anya is a lovely girl but I just can’t be bothered thinking, ‘Is this going to upset her?’

“Me and Duncan are partners in a multimillion-pound business and we are not going to stop seeing each other.”

Tara turned up at the band’s first night performance wearing a four-inch mini skirt. She tucked into — get this — burger and chips then jumped up and down and screamed during the gig.

Back at the plush Culloden Hotel, where the band were staying, she had changed into a red mini dress and red knee-high leather boots.

No wonder Anya’s got the hump.

But Duncan is likely to be smiling this weekend as Blue’s album Guilty looks set to go straight in at No1.

In full swing ... Lee Ryan

 

BLUE kicked off their UK tour last night with an amazing tribute to MICHAEL JACKSON.

The boys did their best Wacko impressions at the Odyssey Arena, Belfast, as they sang a medley of the odd one’s hits Thriller, Beat It and Smooth Criminal.

Not many people could get away with the Jacko look but I can forgive DUNCAN JAMES just about anything – even copying the red leather jacket in the band’s Thriller take-off.


Blue rock ... band set to top charts
 

The vocals of clown prince of pop LEE RYAN stood out, particularly during the band’s new songs, including current single, Guilty.

And SIMON WEBBE looked in fine form after recovering from a severe viral infection.

Blue are set to go straight in at No1 on Sunday with their new album, also called Guilty.

 DIDN'T WANT DUNCAN BORN

BY BLUE ST AR'S RUNAWAY DAD

BLUE singer Duncan James's runaway dad has revealed he told the star's mum to have an abortion.

And Simon Roscoe has boasted of the high life he had in the Far East while Fiona James struggled as a single mum.

Duncan first made contact with 50-year-old Roscoe last December.

But the pair have never met and 24-year-old Duncan recently described his biological father as ``a p **** '' and ``just asperm donor''.

Callous Roscoe said he told Fiona they would have to split when he was offered a computer job in Hong Kong in 1979. Then she revealed she was pregnant.

He said: ``I didn't want a child, so I told her she should havean abortion.

``She told me she was going to have the baby whether I liked it or not. Fiona claimed we were engaged when she became pregnant but that's not true I never saw any future for us.

``Shortly after we split up, I flew to Hong Kong to begin my new life. I had a fantastic time.

``I had a luxury apartment, a chauffeur and lots of girlfriends very much like the life I imagine Duncan now leads.''

Roscoe says he returned to Salisbury, Wiltshire, at about the time the baby was due and rang the hospital.

He added: ``They confirmed that Fiona had given birth. It sounds strange but I didn't ask if she'd had aboyora girl. I felt totally detached.''

Duncan says the only good thing to come out of his contact with Roscoe is getting to know his halfbrother Julian, 14, and half-sister Tara, 11, from Roscoe's marriage to German economist Maya Sallinger.

Roscoe said: ``In December 2002, Fiona rang to tell me that Duncan wanted to know if he had any brothers or sisters.

``I passed on their mother's number and he met Julian and Tara in February. He made it clear he wanted nothing to do with me.

``I've spoken to Duncan just once. A few months ago, Fiona offered me tickets to a Blue gig, so I called her.

``Duncan answered the phone and I told him I'd like to meet him.

He said, `You'll have to speak to my mum about that'. I never went to the concert.''

Duncan said of his father: ``He's an alcoholic who runs away from his responsibilities all the time.

``I never got so much as a birthday card or phone call from him.

``He left mum to bring me up on her own. I don't want him as a father and I never have done. Ialways felt he would come out of the woodwork.

``The most important thing that came out of him contacting me was the fact that I found out, six months ago, I had a brother and sister.

``I immediately noticed that in certain ways Julian resembles me at that age he's got my eyes.

``They struck me as sweet-looking children with lovely manners.''

Duncan visited Julian and Tara with his mum, Fiona, 45, who got on well with Maya.

Duncan said: ``I think that they like swapping notes about my dad.

``Maya and I have talked about Simon on one occasion and, to be honest, I found it a bit difficult.

``In the end, though, it merely confirmed the impression I already had of him.''

Fashion icons ... Duncan James and the other Blue boys will design their own Puffa jackets

TOPPING the charts isn’t enough for BLUE — they’ve also taken to the world of fashion.

The lads are the new face of Puffa jackets and have designed individual coats that will hit Selfridges stores in London, Manchester and Birmingham, but only in limited numbers.

Manufacturers are waiting to see if the jackets by LEE RYAN, DUNCAN JAMES, ANTONY COSTA and SIMON WEBBE sell well. If they do, a full range will follow next Spring.

Simon told me: “These jackets reflect our style.”

It is the second deal in recent weeks for the boys, who have agreed to be the the face of white chocolate Maltesers.

Spooky Blue

That Madonna has got a lot to answer for. Her obession with getting half the famous people on the planet to don one of those red string, Kabbalah bracelets and declare their interest in being 'spiritual' has clearly rubbed off on Simon and Duncan Blue.

The spooky twosome have revealed that they have been seeking career advice from mediums. Their job is to look for inhabitants of the spirit world who've got a bit of free time time to keep an eye on Blue as they go about their busy pop lives.

Duncan told the Sun: "They've said a tall man who smokes a pipe and plays the piano is protecting me. That describes my grandad so I know he’s looking down on me. It makes me feel safe."

And where Duncan goes, Simon won't be far behind, for one very good reason. He said: "I've seen a medium who told me if we fly on a plane with Duncan we will be safe."

Bit late for trick or treat, isn't it, fellas?

Duncan ... visits to medium

NEVER mind marketing and promotion, the boys from BLUE reckon spiritual guidance is the way to develop their career.

Duncan told me: “They’ve said a tall man who smokes a pipe and plays the piano is protecting me. That describes my grandad so I know he’s looking down on me. It makes me feel safe.”

And Simon adds: “I’ve seen a medium who told me if we fly on a plane with Duncan we will be safe.” Cobblers.

Simon's over sick blues


On the mend ... Simon

BLUE’s SIMON WEBBE left hospital yesterday after being treated for a severe viral infection.

Simon collapsed on Tuesday during the band’s rehearsals for their forthcoming UK tour.

He was rushed to Somerset’s Minehead Hospital and immediately quarantined to prevent the bug attacking band mates LEE RYAN, DUNCAN JAMES and ANTONY COSTA.

It was feared his illness would postpone Blue’s sell-out tour, which kicks off in Belfast on Monday.

Meanwhile, rockers SPEEDWAY have been added to the list of support acts during the 27 UK gigs.

Feeling Blue-ry!

More than used to making his legions of lady fans go wibbly-kneed at the very sight of him, Blue's Simon Webbe was on the receiving end yesterday. The phwaorsome four-some were in rehearsal for their forthcoming tour, when poor Simon came over all blue-ry and collapsed.

The barfy boy-bander was rushed to hospital in Minehead, where the lucky doctors and nurses promptly warmed up their apparatus and laid on their best bedside manner. After a thorough check-up, Simon was diagnosed with a severe viral infection.

A spokesperson told the Sun:"It's such a nightmare. He was so ill."

This setback has been a major blow for the Blue boys, who now may have to cancel some of their 27 tour dates to give sickly Simon time to recover. He has also been quarantined to prevent the rest of his bandmates from catching the lurg.

Hmmm, wouldn't be a bad tactic to exercise on Pea-B'Ryan from time-to-time too!

Blue star Simon Webbe was rushed to hospital yesterday after collapsing at a band rehearsal.

He has been diagnosed with a severe viral infection and was placed under quarantine for 24 hours.

The 24-year-old singer had been suffering from a stomach complaint for a few days but was taken to Minehead General Hospital in Somerset when he came close to passing out yesterday morning

It can't come at a worse time for the boy band as they start their two-month-long UK tour on Monday. They also release their album on the same day and have a full diary of interviews and promotional duties.

"The band are meant to do a dress rehearsal on Saturday but Simon is really unwell. He is resting up now and at least they have diagnosed him. It was pretty frightening. He is a fit and healthy guy and thought at first he had a dodgy tummy," said a source. "It just started getting worse and worse and he was vomiting, too. The guys have been rehearsing in Minehead and it was obvious yesterday morning that Simon was seriously ill.

"The band were practising one of their songs when he collapsed.

"Everyone was really worried and he was taken straight to hospital."

Doctors thought it was gastric flu at first but then they told him he had a severe viral infection. It is so serious he was placed under 24-hour quarantine.

"The last thing the other boys need now is to get sick, too. They are going to have to stay away from him for a few days to make sure they don't get ill either," adds the source.

"They are all gutted for Simon but obviously they all hope that he gets better for the first night of the tour.

"It's a long tour so he'll have to be fully recovered as they can't bear the thought of having to cancel dates."

AN DIESER STELLE MÖCHTE ICH SIMON GUTE BESSERUNG WÜNSCHEN!!!!
WERD SCHNELL WIEDER GESUND, SI!!!

Pity his future brother-in-law, John, who has just discovered that he has probably pitched up somewhere between a one-celled bacteria and barnacle by becoming a relative of lunk-headed Lee.

John spent his stag-night at saucy dance spot, Stringfellows, but things became a little, er, sticky when Lee decided it would be a lark to strip his brother-in-law and vacuum-pack him in cling-film.

Let's hope he managed to change before the big day as arriving at your wedding dressed like a ready-meal is unlikely to impress the bride...

WRAP DANCE
 

Normally it's the girls who get their kit off at Stringfellows, but Blue singer Lee Ryan had other ideas when he popped into the famous London lap-dancing haunt recently.

The 20-year-old hellraiser was determined that the stag do for his soon-to-be brother-in-law John was going to be a night to remember. So to bemused looks from fellow clubbers, Lee and his chums suddenly pounced on John, ripped off all his clothes and wrapped the unfortunate fella in clingfilm.

With no pants and just see-through plastic to keep you warm, it's not a look we'd recommend. At least if Lee's lovely sister Gemma didn't know what she was letting herself in for beforehand, she does now.

Das Leben des Ryan

Lee Ryan von Blue plant einen Film. Mit ihm in der Hauptrolle.

Lee Ryan von Blue hat endlich den richtigen Weg gefunden, um seine harte Kindheit publikumswirksam zu verarbeiten: Er macht einen Film darüber und hat sich bereits selbst für die Hauptrolle verpflichtet.

Lee, der das Skript zum Film im zarten Alter von 16 Jahren schrieb, erzählt in dem "Changes" betitelten Werk von seinem Kampf gegen die Legasthenie, dem harten Schulalltag und der engen Beziehung zu seiner Mutter Sheila.

Die Dreharbeiten zum Film könnten - laut Lee- im nächsten Jahr beginnen.

Sunday was a special day for Blue as 'Guilty' became their 8th consecutive Top 10 hit
We asked them about the forthcoming tour, how they felt about being back in the charts, and if they were disappointed that they missed out on having another No. 1 single.......

Dunc
"Of course we would have loved to have had another No. 1 but we are pretty pleased to settle for No. 2, we are just thrilled to have another hit, its fantastic. For me in particular, because I wrote the track, I was just so relieved that it was a hit at all !!. So for me it feels like a massive achievement and I'm over the moon. I wanted to thank all our fans for buying the single and a special mention to everyone who came down to see us at the signing in Piccadilly last week - you were awesome - cheers!

Lee
"Dunc was pretty nervous about the release, but to be honest we all had so much faith in the song that even if it hadn't been such a high new entry in the charts we still wouldn't have doubted that it was the right song to go with. We are really pleased and now we can't wait for the album to come out and for us to get on Tour

Ant
"Being on tour is definitely what we are most looking forward to. It's getting really close now and we are starting to stress out about the routines and show and everything. We just want this tour to be so good and are working really hard to try to make it even better than last year. Hopefully everything will come together this week during final rehearsals!!

Si
"It was the same last year. It gets exciting and scary as the album and tour get close, and of course the nerves start kicking in ! but as Ant says it should all come together this week. We have got 5 days of intensive rehearsals with the proper stage and everything. It's going to be a great show. We can't wait"

Blue singer dating Michelle Collins || 26 Oct 2003

Blue singer makes on-air date with Michelle Collins

Twenty-year-old Blue singer Lee Ryan has asked 40-year-old actress Michelle Collins out for a date live on television.

The singer, who was waiting to perform on This Morning, bounded on to the set of the ITV1 show in front of millions of viewers to give her a hug as she was being interviewed.

The actress told Fern Britton and Philip Schofield: "I'm really embarrassed they're watching me. One of them said he used to fancy me when he was younger when I was on EastEnders.

"Is that a back-handed compliment 'he fancied me when he was young', she joked, adding: "They are very lovely, I must say."

Then Ryan ran over, threw his arms around Collins and gave her a kiss, as she shrieked: "Oh my God."

He told her: "Any time you want to go on a date, Any time you want to go on a date, we'll go. Yeah, up for that?"

Collins replied: "Yes, yes, ahh I've gone all red."

Triumphant, Ryan ran off with his arms aloft shouting: "It's done, it's sorted."

Blue Movie

Blue singer Lee Ryan plans to take his revenge on all those nasty pupils at school and mean-spirited journos [Bad TOTP!] that have accused him of being a tad dim of wit in the past.

The boil-in-the-bag-brained boy-bander [Doh! Old habits! - Ed.]told the Sun: "When I was younger I got chucked out of three schools because they said I couldn't concentrate on anything. But the truth was I'm dyslexic and they didn't want to know."

When it got to the point that his school didn't want him to sit his GCSEs, Lee put pen to paper to write about his ordeals. Lee called his project, which he wrote at 16, 'Changes'.

Now the dunderheaded [Arghh!] singer seeks to make the life of Lee Ryan into a film script and is currently talking to a production firm about bringing it to the big screen.

While struggling with dyslexia can make school life difficult, it doesn't explain Lee's numerous loony episodes since then. With drink driving, bizarre political commentary and going out with Liz Kitten under your belt Lee, we think you'd do better to stick to comedy!

Britneys superkalte Fete:

Bei Britney Spears liegen die Nerven blank. Die zu ihrer Londoner Party eingeladenen VIPs behandelte sie wie aufdringliche Fans. Z.B. Duncan James. Der Blue-Star wollte sie im 'Rex'-Kino in ein Gespräch ziehen und wurde von einem Bodyguard deswegen sogar verwarnt. Nicht mal zum WC traute sich die 21-jährige ohne Security. Fast zum Eklat kam es, als ein Promi die 'Gastgeberin' fotografierte. Kategorisch verlangte sie, den Übeltäter hinauszuschmeißen. Die Stimmung blieb im Minusgrad-Bereich.

Das Leben des Ryan

 
Blue-Sänger Lee Ryan will sein Leben verfilmen! Wie er dem britischen Klatschblatt 'The Sun' erzählte, verfasste er bereits mit 16 ein erstes Skript, in dem er seine schwere Jugend verarbeitete: Er flog nämlich von drei Schulen, litt an einer Lernschwäche und wurde von seinen Mitschülern für das angebliche 'Dumm-Sein' verarscht. Nächstes Jahr will Lee nun endlich sein Filmprojekt in Angriff nehmen und natürlich auch die Hauptrolle spielen.

"Changes" ist der vorläufige Arbeitstitel, und behandelt werden soll unter anderem Lees stressige Schulzeit und sein Kampf gegen seine Rechtschreibschwäche. Beginnen sollen die Dreharbeiten Anfang nächsten Jahres.

BRITNEY SPEARS

 

Britney Spears gave Duncan James and Simon Webbe the cold-shoulder at a party in her honour.

Britney

Her minders ignored the Blue boys' pleas to join her in the VIP area at the Rex Cinema in London on Saturday.

Duncan, who has just met his brother and sister for the first time, got stuck into the booze with pal Tara Palmer Tomkinson while Simon's attempts to pull Holly Valance failed dismally. The Aussie singer was not pleased when Simon kept resting his hand on her bum. Atomic Kitten's Liz McLarnon fared better with Busted's Charlie Simpson.

Life of Ryan

Film plans ... Lee Ryan

BLUE singer LEE RYAN is making a film about his life – and has cast himself in the lead role.

The clown prince of pop has written a script and is talking to a production firm about bringing it to the big screen.

But at just 20 years old, does Lee really think his life is blockbuster material?

Lee has called his project, which he wrote at 16, Changes. I think Life Of Ryan after the Monty Python comedy might be more appropriate for the gaffe-prone star.

In the movie he will detail his troubled schooling, his battle with dyslexia and how life was made hell by bullies who targeted him for being “thick”.

In an exclusive interview, Lee told me: “When I was younger I got chucked out of three schools because they said I couldn’t concentrate on anything.

“But the truth was I’m dyslexic and they didn’t want to know.

“At my last school they told me I wasn’t allowed to sit for all my GCSEs because they thought I’d fail. Other kids used to give me stick and call me thick.

“So I sat down and wrote a script about what was happening to me and now I’m making a film of it.”

The biopic — which could start filming next year — will also describe his close relationship with mum Sheila. She “scrimped and saved” to pay for him to go to the famous Italia Conti stage school in London — only for him to be shown the door when he was 14.


Lee added: “My mum worked so hard to send me there but after about a year they wanted to chuck me out. They told her they thought I had attention deficit disorder.

“In the end the school got rid of me for wearing the wrong uniform. Changes is mostly autobiographical but it’s not all strictly following what happened to me.

“Some of it goes on much further about what could have happened to me if I hadn’t been successful.”

Hmm. Doesn’t sound like The Greatest Story Ever Told.

Despite his enormous success I can’t see Lee’s life story arousing the same sort of interest as films of history’s greats.

Back in the real world he and bandmates SIMON WEBBE, DUNCAN JAMES and ANTONY COSTA entered the charts at No2 yesterday with the single Guilty and release their album of the same name next Monday. On the same day, they kick off their sell-out UK arena tour in Belfast.

But after two years at the top, all four lads are preparing for life after Blue. Lee is concentrating on songwriting and acting while Simon runs a musical management firm.

Duncan recently signed a deal with a major Hollywood agency who believe he has what it takes to become an actor.

He also owns a TV production company with TARA PALMER-TOMKINSON called Meltdown and Antony has been cutting his teeth as a presenter on SM:TV.

SIMON'S IN A L'IL SPOT OF BOTHER

Blue singer Simon Webbe may have had a lucky escape after a brush with raunchy rapper L'il Kim.

The boy band - who released their new single Guilty this week - were at a recent charity Versace fashion show in Italy when Si nearly started a row with the pint-sized American, infamous for her sexy lyrics.

"I was sitting in the audience and I kept feeling something hitting the back of my neck," Simon tells us.

"I tried to ignore it for a while, but it kept happening. So I turned round to the person to give them a piece of my mind and realised it was L'il Kim flicking her hair. She's gorgeous so I let it slide!"

Perhaps Simon was worried that Kim would have made the air turn blue...

Unbe-Lee-vable

Older ladies, don't be shy. There's hope for the maturer fans of Lee Blue (does "why are you looking at the TOTP website, mum?" ring any bells?), as it seems the over-sexed song-monkey has something of a thing for the older woman.

Our story starts on Wednesday night. Lee was enjoying making a cute but drunken arse of himself at the launch party for post-Popstars: The Rivals band Phixx by falling in and out of a car boot, much to the delight of waiting tabloid photographers.

So come Thursday morning, he was in something of a state when Blue arrived at the TV studio where they make This Morning. Then his spirits lifted when he caught sight of fortysomething former EastEnders actress Michelle Collins on the set. Michelle spotted Lee and the rest of the Blue boys and told presenter Fern Britton: "I'm really embarrassed they're watching me. One of them said he used to fancy me."

Cue Lee, who promptly threw himself on Michelle, mouth first, saying: "Anytime you want to go on a date we'll go, yeah, up for that?"

So, girls, if your mum insists on coming to the Blue concert with you, our best advice to avoid embarrassment is to chain her to a chair...

What the Phixx Lee up to now?
Party animal ... Lee Ryan acts the goat for a change

 

YOU can rely on BLUE’s LEE RYAN to behave like a bit of an idiot at a showbiz bash.

The occasion this time was boy band PHIXX’s fancy dress launch party and the singer did not disappoint – jumping on a pal’s back before falling into the back of his car waving victory signs.

Perhaps he was celebrating after hearing his group are set to go to No2 in the charts this weekend with their new single Guilty.

First with the Guilty verdict

New album ... the boys from Blue

 

I’M the first journalist to hear BLUE’s new album Guilty — and it’s a corker.

Here is my exclusive lowdown.

The boys — LEE RYAN, ANTONY COSTA, SIMON WEBBE and DUNCAN JAMES — have made their third album stronger, more mature and edgier.

You have probably already heard the single, also called Guilty, which is out today.

Any one of the 15 tracks could be a chart hit but here are a few of the highlights to look out for.

Opener Stand Up is very JUSTIN TROUSERSNAKE, thanks to some amazing falsetto singing from LEE RYAN.

It has a summery, samba feel and a catchy chorus.

Bubblin has a harder R&B sound but it is a good step away from cheesy pop and a clear contender for No1.

Breathe Easy stands out as the album’s biggest slushy ballad. I reckon it is better than the title track and I can see the diehard Blue fans swooning to this one.

It is a dead cert for the top of the charts.

There are a few mid-tempo tracks, such as When Summer’s Gone. Like Walk Away, it has a catchy chorus and is bound to be on every radio station playlist.

Last but not least is No Goodbyes. Again, it smacks of a more mature sound with chart-topper written all over it.

Well done, lads — this one’s a winner.

Model Pupils

Not such a pop shocker has graced the pages of this site since...er...Lee Ryan's last loony blustering. But this one's a corker! Apparently, the original wit-less pop wonder did once attend school.

Having once ranted though that he'd like to sleep with an alien, but wouldn't date a virgin, you'd be forgiven for needing a little proof that the Blue boy did ever don a satchel and take control over his faculties.

However, according to the Star, Lee bumped into catwalk ice-queen Naomi Campbell at Thursday's Fashion Rocks event and discovered they both went to Italia Conti School of Performing Arts. "We chatted about our school days," he told The Star.

We're guessing the chat didn't extend into the realms of astrophysics or theology, but apparently he didn't do too badly at charm school. Naomi told the Star "He made me feel like a princess."

Hmmm, we wouldn't be too flattered Naomi. We know you've had boyf before, so Lee must think you're from outer space!

Im Clip zu ihrer letzten Single 'U Make Me Wanna', präsentierten sich Blue ganz lässig auf einer Edel-Yacht vor Südafrika. Zeit zum Relaxen? Weit gefehlt! Den Sommer verbrachten die Hübschen mit Tourneen durch Europa und den Fernen Osten, diversen Festivalauftritten in UK, sowie Aufnahmen zum neuen Album, das den Titel 'Guilty' tragen wird und auf das sich ihre Fans ab November freuen dürfen!
Ein würdiger Anlass, um die feschen Jungs selbst zu Wort kommen zu lassen!
 
Das neue Album ist das beste, was sie je produziert haben, befinden Blue 'weil es direkt vom Herzen kommt'. Auf das Ergebnis dürfen wir gespannt sein, hier könnt ihr schon mal einen Blick auf den Clip der ersten Single vom kommenden Longplayer werfen, 'Guilty': Eine Ballade mit schwelgenden Streichern & der gewohnten Portion Gefühl!

Blue: Mit "Guilty" melden sich die Jungs zurück!

Endlich! Lange hast du auf diesen Moment gewartet - und jetzt ist er da: Blue haben wieder eine neue Single am Start!
 
Blue sind wieder da! Nach "U Make Me Wanna" wurde es ziemlich still um die vier smarten Jungs aus London. Aber Lee, Duncan, Simon und Antony waren in dieser Zeit nicht faul! Im Gegenteil: Den Sommer verbrachten Blue im Studio, wo sie viele Songs für ihr neues Album aufgenommen haben. Dann ging es auf Tour durch Europa und in den fernen Osten. Doch rechtzeitig zum goldenen Herbst kehren sie auf die Musikbildfläche zurück mit einer gefühlvollen Ballade, bei der dir mit Sicherheit warm ums Herz wird!
"Guilty" ist eine ruhige und schöne Herbstballade, mit der du dich bei grauem Herbstwetter im Zimmer verkriechen und so richtig träumen kannst!
Den Song hat Duncan geschrieben. Für was sich Blue eigentlich schuldig fühlen, wissen wir nicht! Vielleicht dafür, dass sie die deutschen Fans so lange vernachlässigt haben ;o) Jedenfalls hat das übliche Produktionsteam True North der Single wieder den typischen Blue-Sound verpasst.
Was Blue zu Themen wie Tour und Album, die neue Single "Guilty" und die Zusammenarbeit mit Elton John verraten haben, das erfährst du in unserem StarTalk - von Duncan und Simon persönlich!

Blue im Star Talk bei Bravo

Das Album, das übrigens ebenfalls "Guilty" heißen wird, kommt am 3. November in die Plattenläden. Die für November und Dezember geplante Tour durch Großbritannien ist schon ausverkauft! Aber dann kommt ja auch schon 2004 und da werden Blue bestimmt auch noch in Deutschland vorbeischauen und ihren Fans eine Freude bereiten.

I want my own family (Dunk)

I WANT MY OWN FAMILY SAYS DUNC Oct 15 2003

EXCLUSIVE Blue star set to marry girlfriend `My ex-girlfriend Anya is
back on the scene. She's the one I have always loved, so fingers
crossed it might happen this time'

By John Dingwall

BLUE hunk Duncan James is set to ask on-off girlfriend Anya Lahiri to
marry him and start a family after finding he had a brother and
sister he never knew existed.

Duncan previously linked to a string of women including Dani Behr,
Liberty X beauty Michelle Heaton and It girl Tara Palmer-Tomkinson
said: ``My ex-girlfriend Anya is back on the scene. She's the one I
have always loved so hopefully, fingers crossed it might happen.

``We just started seeing each other again, it's new, so we'll have to
wait and see.

``But I think it could be another Blue engagement.''

All this has come hard on the heels of the emotional moment Duncan
discovered his father, who walked out on the family when Duncan was
born.

Duncan said: ``I always felt that he would come out of the woodwork.
The most important thing that came out of him contacting me was the
fact that I found out, six months ago, that I had a brother and a
sister.

``I'm 24 and I'd never had a brother and sister, but all my life I
always wanted one.

``So, to find out that my biological father has two children from
another marriage was quite intriguing to me.

``In my mind he's just the man that made me still, in my blood.

``I've got part of him and part of me is in two other children, if
you see what I mean.

``They live in Germany, sothey don't speak a lot of English. The
little boy, Julian, is 14 and the little girl, Tara, is 11.

``Julian speaks a lot more English than Tara she just sort of looks
at me and smiles.

``I've seen them about six or seven times now. Julian's got the exact
same eyebrows and eyes as me the spitting image, which is pretty
weird.

``I can't quite get my head around it sometimes. But it's nice and
it's something I'm learning to deal with.''

Despite meeting his new step-siblings, Duncan has so far refused to
meet his father.

He explained: ``I've never met him. I've just talked to him on the
phone and seen pictures of him.

``But he's never really wanted to make an effort with me. If he did
he would have got into contact with me before. So, in my head, he's
not a particularly nice person.

``Then he wrote a story in the paper that was a load of lies, tried
to `big' himself up, tried to make out all sorts ofstuff that wasn't
true. In the end, the fundamental point is, he left my mum when I was
born.

``He walked out and it doesn't matter who you are, that's
unforgivable, the lowest of the low. Not making any contact, or
nothing, for all those years, it's almost like I wasn't there, I
didn't exist in his head. ``But, as I said, the good thing to come
out of it is Julian and Tara.''

With two No.1 albums and three No.1 singles under their belt, the
Brit-award winning band release their new single, Guilty, on Monday.

They head to Scotland for live shows on December 2, 3 and 4 at
Glasgow's SECC some tickets are still available. Meanwhile, Duncan
insists his pop career could soon be over as he is already
considering a move into acting.

He said: ``I've always wanted to be an actor, since I did my first
school play, aged four. Now, because of my success with Blue, the
acting dream isn't so far behind any more.''

A DALY LOVE IN
 

THE Fashion Rocks after-show party turned out to be one big love-in.

Looking extremely loved-up, with their wedding rings on full show, newlyweds Tess Daly and Vernon Kay left the bash at the Kensington Roof Gardens with their arms wrapped around each other.

Blue's Duncan James used the continental approach to say good night to pal Tara Palmer-Tomkinson with a kiss on each cheek.

The saucy minx grabbed him by the neck and hung on for dear life as he said farewell.

But despite the intimate clinch - and a sneaky thumbs up from bandmate Lee Ryan - we're assured romance is not in the air. And hopefully Dunc's girlfriend Anya Lahiri will see it that way.

But spare a thought for poor Minnie Driver.

Despite looking stunning in her elegant frock, the actress was solo on Wednesday night and left the party alone

Tara kissed, cuddled and generally draped herself over the BLUE heart-throb at the aftershow party in West London.


Get your Palms on
that ... the couple cuddle

Duncan may have enjoyed the attention but he will have some explaining to do when his girlfriend sees these pictures.

Duncan’s never denied he is a flirt, but he assures me he’s a one-woman man and only has eyes for his girlfriend, ANYA LAHIRI.


It's mine ... IT girl Tara Palmer-
Tomkinson keeps hold of Dunc

An onlooker outside the posh Kensington Roof Gardens, where Duncan and Tara partied with his bandmates ANTONY COSTA and SIMON WEBBE, said: “Tara was all over him when they left and kept throwing her arms around him. He pecked her on her cheek but I think she would have liked more, given half a chance.

“He helped her into a cab and went off with the rest of the band.”

Don't Ask Blue's Lee What Month It Is

The People reports Blue singer Lee Ryan doesn't know all the months of the year. He confesses he is badly dyslexic and says he could never be bothered to memorize all 12. He added: "And now it's too late."

Am Mittwochabend fand in der Londoner Royal Albert Hall ein Happening der besonderen Art statt: Die besten Designer trafen auf die größten Namen des Rock- und Popbusiness, um gemeinsam mit Prinz Charles die Fashion Rocks Show zu zelebrieren, bei der Geld für seine Wohltätigkeitsorganisation gesammelt wurde.

Die Jungs von Blue hatten an diesem Abend die Chance, in Kombination mit der aktuellen Kollektion der Designer ihren Song "Guilty" zu performen.

Auch hier stand der gute Zweck im Vordergrund, wie Duncan betonte: "Es ist großartig für Menschen, weniger privilegierten Menschen, die mit dem Gesetz in Konflikt gekommen sind, zu helfen. Wir alle haben einen anderen Hintergrund. So ist das Leben, man hat nicht immer die perfekte Familie hinter sich stehen. Auch wir haben noch Träume und Sehnsüchte. Und der Princes Trust ist ein Wohlfahrtsverband, der diesen Kindern die Chance gibt, etwas aus ihrem Leben zu machen. Dies ist von unschätzbarem Wert, und es ist großartig ein Teil dessen zu sein."

Daddy Cruel

Duncan Blue's mum has written a book about bringing up her pop star son, and the heartbreak of being kicked out by his father when he discovered she was pregnant.

Unsurprisingly, Duncan has few fond feelings for his father. He told the Sun: "I never got as much as a birthday card or a phone call from him...He didn't even know whether he had a son or a daughter."

Duncan also reveals that at one point he planned a reconciliation with his father but before they had a chance to meet, his dad sold the story of their separation to the tablods. Duncan said: "I couldn't believe it...He had an opportunity to make amends after 24 years of not being around. I didn't even want him to be a father to me...In the story it was like he was trying to justify walking out on us."

Hard as it may be to believe, it's not all bad news though. Through investigating his family Duncan discovered a half-brother and sister in Germany: "Julian, who's 14, and 11-year-old Tara are great. And mum has forged a great friendship with their mum, Mya, who left my dad."

Fiona's book, Just The Two Of Us, is out on Monday.

Blue Sänger Duncan James schäumt vor Wut über seinen Vater: 24 Jahre lang wollte Simon Roscoe nichts von seinem Sohn wissen. Nun fühlte sich Duncan bereit dazu seinen Erzeuger zu sehen und bat ihn um ein Treffen. Roscoe war zunächst geschockt darüber, dass sein Sohn so berühmt ist. Doch schon im nächsten Moment rannte er zu einem Klatschblatt, um Familiendetails zu verkaufen. "Einige Dinge davon sind noch nicht mal wahr!", tobt Duncan. Das werde er ihm nie verzeihen.

Heartache of Blue's Dunc
A real charmer ... Duncan James
DUNCAN JAMES has looks to rival Brad Pitt – and an army of female fans thanks to his star status in Blue, Britain’s top boy band, who have sold five million albums and achieved three No1 singles.

But here, in an astonishingly frank exclusive interview, Duncan reveals the secret rift with his father that has torn his family apart – and tells of the special bond with his mother, Fiona Inglis.

Fiona has written a book, Just The Two Of Us, about her struggle to raise her son alone.

By VICTORIA NEWTON

AS far as Duncan James is concerned, he doesn’t have a father.

Never has had — and never will.

Simon Roscoe walked out on Duncan’s mum Fiona when he learned she was pregnant more than 24 years ago. He wanted her to abort her unborn baby but she refused.

Simon, now 50 but a struggling musician at the time, then chucked her out of their flat and dumped her on her parents’ driveway with her bags. He hasn’t seen her since.

It comes as little surprise that Duncan wants nothing to do with the man he has dubbed “a sperm donor”.

Duncan explains: “I never got as much as a birthday card or a phone call from him. He’d never done anything for me in my life. He didn’t even know whether he had a son or a daughter.

“He wasn’t interested in me as a person, so I thought ‘sod him.’ ”

But over Christmas last year, Duncan suddenly decided he wanted to meet Simon — out of curiosity rather than a desire to form a relationship with him.

When he told his mum, she was amazed.

Fiona, 46, says: “When Duncan told me it just blew me away. I’d waited for the moment for years, and I really wanted the two of them to meet. Duncan just said he wanted to see what the guy looked like before he dies.”

Fiona set about trying to organise a meeting.

After the initial shock of being told that his son was a famous pop star, Simon agreed to the meeting and the next few months were spent trying to organise a date. The pair spoke on the phone but the meeting never took place.

True to form, Simon was to let Duncan down one last time — by cashing in on his son’s fame and selling intimate details about the family background to a scandal sheet.

Duncan explains: “I just thought, ‘You b******.’

“I couldn’t believe it. I took a call from Blue’s publicist who told me what my dad had done and I was gobsmacked.

“He had an opportunity to make amends after 24 years of not being around. I didn’t even want him to be a father to me, I just thought for once he might have behaved responsibly. But I don’t think he’s capable of that. In the story it was like he was trying to justify walking out on us.

“It was very upsetting because he told a lot of lies in that story.

“I don’t think I’d ever be able to forgive him for that. I don’t want him as a father, and I never have done.

“I think he’s a p****. He’s an alcoholic who runs away from his responsibilities all the time. He left Mum to bring me up on her own, that’s all we’ve got, each other, there’s no one else now that my grandparents have died.”

One good thing has come out of Duncan’s heartbreaking situation. He discovered he has a half brother and sister in Germany — and they have become close.

He explains: “Julian, who’s 14, and 11-year-old Tara are great. And mum has forged a great friendship with their mum, Mya, who left my dad.

“Julian reminds me so much of me. They’re the closest I’ve ever got to a brother or a sister. My mum learned a lot about my dad.


Special bond ... Duncan with his mum Fiona

“She and Mya talked for hours, and it seems that my father had this pattern of behaviour where he got into a relationship and gave this woman an awful time. Now he doesn’t even have anything to do with those children. He can’t cope with responsibility.”

Duncan insists he had a very happy childhood, despite his father not being around.

He says: “I didn’t know any different when I was growing up. My grandparents spoiled me rotten and I guess they acted as the father figure in my life. I felt very loved as a child so I didn’t find it odd that other kids had a dad and I didn’t.”

There’s no doubt Fiona did a fantastic job raising her son.

He is well-spoken, polite, has impeccable manners — and is devastatingly charming.

Blue are about to release their new album, Guilty. Their first single from it, also called Guilty, is out on October 20. The track means a lot to Duncan.

He co-wrote it with former Take That star Gary Barlow, and Duncan had his girlfriend, Anya Lahiri, in mind when he penned it.

The singer and Anya, 22, from now-defunct girl band Precious, first went out in 2002 but they parted in March of that year after three months together. Duncan blames the split on stories in the Press suggesting he was playing around with different women.

He says: “Every time I was photographed talking to a girl at a party it said we were going out.

“It wasn’t true but Anya found it hard to cope with and we split up. I was no saint — but I’m not a womaniser either.

“Anya got back with an ex but we stayed friends. I used to call her up when I’d had a few drinks to tell her how I felt about her.

“That’s what this song, Guilty, is about.

“She told me she felt guilty for having a good time with me when she had a boyfriend.

“In the end I convinced her that we should be together and now I’m very happy.

“We went out for a meal one night and ended up kissing. We’re taking things very slowly and hopefully it will all work out.

“She’s got my mum’s approval, which is very tough to win. She’s very much a girl-next-door. She doesn’t wear mini skirts or tarty clothes.

“She’s from a very respectable family, had a good education and we have a laugh together.”

Duncan insists it is too early to talk about marriage — but listening to him talk gushingly about Anya, I wouldn’t mind betting that it happens sooner rather than later.

    Right out of the Blue
    (Filed: 14/10/2003)

    Singer Duncan James is helping Burton to shed its 'suity' image. Hilary Alexander meets him

    I can't think of a much better way to start the day than by sharing a bacon sarnie with Duncan James. He arrives clutching a Starbucks coffee in one hand and the sandwich, from a local "caff", in the other. He immediately offers me a bite, and it's delicious. As is he.

    Beige, faux-sheepskin, reefer jacket, £60; beige, cotton hoodie, £30; washed cotton, blue crew-neck top, £20; Bronx jeans, s-l, £30

    James says he is feeling "like a zombie" after flying in from Los Angeles and a promo tour of Japan, where his band, Blue, has become the third most popular act after Avril Lavigne and Tatu.

    James, 24, a Brad Pitt lookalike (only younger and with better skin), has been in the limelight ever since Blue released their debut single, All Rise, in 2001 - the beginning of a meteoric career that has included seven consecutive Top Ten hits and two number one albums, the latest of which has sold more than 1.6 million copies in Britain alone. They have also won Brit awards for Best Newcomer and Best Pop Act.

    On stage, James describes himself as the one member of the band with the "structured classical look". "Lee [Ryan] is into biker jackets, Simon [Webbe] likes long, three-quarter coats, Batman-style, and Antony [Costa] is the leathery hard-man, a bit of a Robert De Niro. We're all different, we're not clones.

    "Clothes are visually very important to us. Most of our stage clothes are custom-made for us. Dressing well is part of our career. We have to be seen to be looking very street, very cool."

    Off-stage, however, James is pretty much a T-shirt and jeans man. Today, he is dressed in a plain white T-shirt, scuffed Nike Air Force trainers and a pair of baggy D&G jeans.

    "I collect jeans," he says. "It's ridiculous. I've got 250 pairs - H&M, Marks & Spencer, Diesel, Burton, TopMan, Dolce and Gabbana, Gucci, Versace when I bought a house for my mum, I had to have a whole room turned into a wardrobe for all the jeans I'd collected."

    Burgundy cotton, patterned shirt, £25; beige, acrylic roll-neck, £18; brown denim jeans, also in blue, black, s-l, £30; boots, £40

    James has since bought his own flat and the jeans have moved with him, but he remains very close to his mother and, like any boy who has grown up without a father, is fiercely protective.

    "My mum is my only family. I wouldn't have anything if it wasn't for her. Dad walked out when I was a kid."

    James's mother, Fiona Inglis, has just documented her story as a single parent in a new book, Just the Two of Us, which is published this week.

    "It's about her life and mine," says James. "She was adopted and she talks about finding her real parents. It's very moving. I cried when I read that chapter. I found my real father, but we've only spoken on the phone.

    "I don't know if I'll ever see him. A lot of shit's happened in my family. All I know is that I ain't going to make those mistakes he made when I'm older." James, who grew up in Sidmouth, Devon, started singing at school and decided at a young age that he wanted to be an actor. He studied drama and joined the Sidmouth Amateur Dramatics Society.

    But, as in any single parent family, money was always tight. At 17, he landed his first job, as a check-out boy at his local supermarket. At weekends, he worked in a nearby cinema.

    "I was dressed up with a dicky bow and at half-time I had to go round with a tray of ice-cream tubs and a torch. I got £2.15 an hour - this was before the minimum wage. But I got to see films for free and was paid time- and-a-half on Sunday. By doing that, I could survive and earn some cash."

    Grey, cotton, zip-up jacket, £25; white T-shirt, £12; jeans, s-l, £30

    His next job was, at least, an introduction to performing, although as a red coat for Haven Holidays, he was still a long way from becoming a pop idol.

    "I did two and a half seasons with them and I learnt so much. I can compere, I can do ballroom dancing, I can waltz, quick-step, you name it. I guess I was a bit Michael Ball. I could do his voice very well. In fact, when I joined Blue, I had to have lessons to reconstruct my voice for pop. I was too theatrical."

    Being a member of one of the biggest boy bands since Take That has been James's life for the past two and a half years. "About 90 per cent of what we do is promos - interviews, photo shoots and recording. But it's the performing that I love. Doing the show is the best thing. On tour, you're performing every night. I love it. We all look forward to it.

    "We've got a big UK tour eight weeks before Christmas, starting in Belfast on the third of November. I can't wait. And, in February, we're doing our first tour outside Britain, in Japan."

    First up, however, is James's appearance, nationwide, as the new face of men's fashion chain Burton - his first solo project.

    "I felt a bit rabbit-in-the-headlights without the other three. But it was wicked. We were on this kind of old-fashioned fairground in south London, with two lurchers and smoke machines, so that it would look like winter. It was surreal, but cool.

    Navy, chalk-stripe, viscose-mix stretch suit, £150; white, herringbone cotton shirt, £30; shoes, from a selection, from £25; diamante cross, £16

    "I was really surprised by the clothes. I used to shop at Burton when I was 18. I bought my first suit there, black with purple lining. I paid for it myself and felt on top of the world.

    "I was really surprised by the way they've turned Burton round. It's not all suity and booty any more. There's modern, funky stuff: beautiful jackets, a sheepskin coat that I fell in love with and a red cardigan.

    "It's not D&G - that costs an arm and a leg. This is high street prices."

    For the time being, James is perfectly happy being a member of Blue. But he is well aware of just how short the shelf life of a boy band can be.

    "I want to act," he says. "I love Shakespeare and period drama. And musicals. I'd love to do Miss Saigon. But I couldn't do comedy."

    Right now, I'd say Duncan James could do pretty much anything he set his mind to.

    Blue singen mit Stevie Wonder! Lee, Duncan, Simon und Antony sind mit der Motown-Legende ins Studio gegangen und haben gemeinsam einen Song aufgenommen: Eine neue Version von Wonders Klassiker "Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours" aus dem Jahr 1970. Im Video spielt auch eine enge Freundin von Stevie Wonder mit, die Soul Diva Angie.
  • Simon Webbe über die Zusammenarbeit: "Mit Stevie einen Song aufzunehmen war eine völlig neue Erfahrung. Ein Traum wurde wahr, der Mann ist eine echte Legende." Blue werden den Song als zweite Single aus ihrem neuen Album auskoppeln. Der Longplayer "Guilty" steht ab 3. November in den Plattenläden!

    "Guilty" heißt die neue Single von Blue, Vorbote des neuen, dritten Albums der englischen Mega-Stars, die alleine in ihrer Heimat von jedem Album Millionen verkaufen.
    Die von Duncan Inglis geschriebene Ballade bringt die Blue-Qualitäten einmal mehr auf den Punkt: vier verschiedene, sich perfekt ergänzende Stimmen in einem Song, ein eingängiger Refrain, der sich mit jedem Hören mehr im Kopf festsetzt, und ein wunderbar passendes Arrangement. Streicher setzen der Produktion von True North das I-Tüpfelchen auf.

    Zu "Guilty" haben die vier Blue-Guys ein spannendes Video in Prag gedreht, das dem ruhigen Song durch konträre, aufgeheizte Handlung eine ganz besondere Dimension gibt. /atx -->

    MANAGEMENT TELL BLUE BOYS TO SHAPE UP

    BOY band Blue have been ordered on a crash fitness course by their management because they are out of shape.

    The pop hunks will embark on a mammoth arena tour of the UK and Ireland this autumn.

    But record bosses reckon that Lee Ryan and Antony Costa arebecoming too porky and Duncan James and Simon Webbe are too thin.

    Duncan, 24, explained: ``When you go into TV stations, you get a request list of what you want in the dressing rooms.

    ``We always ask for a kettle to make honey and lemon tea to help our throats and voices.

    ``We normally get crisps and chocolate too, but we are only being allowed fresh fruit.''

    The boys kick off their first tour, starting at Birmingham NEC on November 8 and visit cities including Sheffield, Newcastle, Glasgow and Manchester.

    But Lee admits he is struggling to get in shape for the first gig.

    He said: ``We've got a strict regime. We've got a month to go, but I've done nothing.

    ``I'm eating healthily though.'' Duncan said he and Simon have been told to get to the gym because they are too scrawny.

    He said: ``Simon and I have got to put on weight because we have got high metabolisms.''

    Blue Ordered To Shape Up

    Music industry bosses have ordered boy band Blue to go on a crash diet and exercise regime before they embark on their arena tour of the UK and Ireland this autumn.

    The band's management think Lee Ryan and Antony Costa have put on too much weight - while Duncan James and Simon Webbe have become too thin.

    Hunky Duncan says, "When you go into TV stations, you get a request list of what you want in the dressing rooms. We always ask for a kettle to make honey and lemon tea to help our throats and voices. We normally get crisps and chocolates too, but we are only being allowed fresh fruit."

    The singer adds, "Simon and I have got to put on weight because we have got high metabolisms."

    However, Lee is not finding it easy to stick to the new plans, and moans, "We've got a strict regime. We've got a month to go, but I've done nothing. I'm eating healthily though."

    Blue Team Up with Stevie Wonder and Angie Stone To Record “Signed, Sealed, Delivered I’m Yours”
    Duncan, Simon, Antony and Lee have teamed up with Motown legend Stevie Wonder and soul diva Angie Stone to record a new version of Stevie’s 1970 hit “Signed, Sealed, Delivered I’m Yours”.

    The track will be included on Blue’s highly anticipated third album “Guilty” and will be released as a single in December, rounding off what has undoubtedly been Blue’s most successful year to date.

    Blue flew to LA at the end of September to record the track with Stevie and Angie and filmed a video with the pair at the same time. The recording came about when Blue decided to follow up their 2002 Elton John collaboration by recording a second classic duet for their new album. The boys dream musical partner was Stevie Wonder and approaches were made to his management to record “Signed, Sealed, Delivered I’m Yours”. To Blue’s delight, Stevie agreed and with his blessing they then approached Angie Stone to also feature on the track, having previously recorded a cover of Angie’s “Don’t Treat Me Like A Fool” for their "One Love" album.

    Simon says: "Recording with Stevie was an experience like no other. It was a dream come true, the man is a legend. It was amazing to record "Signed, Sealed, Delivered I’m Yours" as it's one of our all time favourite songs. There was a great vibe on the video set. Stevie and Angie are good friends and that really came across. They made us feel very comfortable and we had a fantastic time."

    Lee: Star mit Janus-Kopf

    Einerseits pustet Lee Ryan Gedankenlosigkeiten wie die raus, dass die Beziehung mit "Kitten" Liz "harte Arbeit" für ihn gewesen sei, andererseits verblüfft der Blue-Star mit überraschenden Einsichten. Wie der, dass sich heutige Popstars vergleichsweise meinungslos bei ihren Fans einschleimen. "Das Busines ist Fake. Und niemand ist mehr wahrhaftig. Früher hatten Stars überzeugt, die in Songs durchschimmerten. Heute gehts nur um Partys, Clubs und darum, einen umzulegen oder Drogen zu nehmen."

    Liz's Phone Moan

    You might think that being a major pop celeb would be a good way of avoiding having to ring your ex-girlfs late in the night when you're feeling sad and lonely, but it seems not be true in the case of Lee Ryan.

    According to the tabs, the Blue crooner has taken to ringing former ladyfriend Liz Kitten at all hours when he's had a few to drink, and she's so fed up with it, she's had to change her mobile number four times.

    One of Liz's litter of Kitty-mates told the Mirror: "Liz finds the whole thing terribly upsetting. Lee usually calls when he's had a few too many beers. He's quite bolshie and some of the things he says are not the kind of things she wants to hear."

    And it's not like changing her number is proving to be all that useful, either: "The problem for her is that, because they are on the same record label, someone keeps giving him her new number. He probably doesn't realise she keeps changing the number to get away from him."

    A spokesperson for Lee offered this bewildered response: "He denies harassing Liz and wouldn't understand why anyone is saying he is."

    So, who's telling the truth? We'll letcha know when we do...

    Simon heikle Vergangenheit

    Vermutlich war er jung und brauchte das Geld: Bei einer TV-Show konfrontierte Komödiant Frank Skinner den Sänger Simon Webbe mit alten Nacktfotos. Der Blue-Star hatte fürs Oralsex-Kapitel eines Ratgebers posiert.

    Webbe saß sprachlos da, als Skinner referierte: "Dieses ist ein emotionales Buch über Sex und ein großartiges Leseerlebnis. Einiges hätte ich aber ohne die Illustration nicht verstanden."

    Er drehte sich zu Webbe: "Gehts dir noch gut? Du bist etwas blass. Sieht doch alles prima aus!"

    SIMON'S BLUE PAST

     

    THIS is the moment Simon Webbe's louche past caught up with him.

    CAUGHT ON PICS: Simon and the picture (below)

    His band Blue were guests on The Frank Skinner Show last night when the comedian flashed up a picture from Simon's nude modelling days.

    The 24-year-old appeared naked in an explicit sex manual called How To Behave In Bed by Richard Macdonald three years ago.

    Among the raunchy lessons in lurve is a chapter on the correct etiquette for oral sex. How very educational.

    "This is an emotional book on sex and I thank you, that's all I can say. Don't deny it's a great read. And there are things I wouldn't have quite got were it not for the illustrations," said Frank.

    "You alright Simon? You look a bit shaken. You look great in there."

    Meanwhile, mother of the year Jordan had better start looking for another babysitter.

    The 25-year-old overblown party girl dumped her long-suffering boyfriend Scott Sullivan on the show last night - for being in contact with his ex-girlfriend.

    So nothing to do with you trying to sleep with Brian Ormond from Pop Idol then, eh Jordan?

    After whining about how she is so misunderstood and the only reason she is out on the town so much is because she is "actually earning a living" - is that what you're calling it these days? - Jordan proceeded to ditch millionaire's son Scott.

    "It looks like I'm going to be single, and I know this comes out tomorrow night and Scott's going to watch it. But you know he hasn't been around for two weeks and his ex-girlfriend is always hanging around," she said at the recording on Sunday night.

    GOSSIP: Frank and Jordan

    "I have to put up with this all the time when I'm away and it's not nice. But I don't have to put up with it and I won't, cause there's plenty of fishes in the sea."

    Just leave them alone, love...

    Fon-Nervensäge Lee Ryan

    Eben noch gab Lee Ryan egozentrisch zu, die Affäre mit Liz Mc Clarnon sei für ihn ein Fehler gewesen. Sie dürfte dem wohl vollem Herzens zustimmen.

    Angeblich änderte sie in den letzten sechs Monaten vier mal die Handynummer, um nicht nächstens vom betrunkenen Blue-Sänger belämmert zu werden.

    "Vieles von dem, was er ihr zu erzählen hat, will sie gar nicht hören. Das Problem ist, dass er immer wieder ihre neuen Codes grickt, da seine Band bei der gleichen Company ist", behauptet ein Insider.

    LIZ RINGS CHANGES ON LEE

    His calls force Kitten to switch numbers 4 times

    THEY had one of the rockiest relationships in pop. But just when we thought we'd heard the last of the Liz McLarnon/Lee Ryan saga it's taken another twist.

    Liz

    The Atomic Kitten babe has had to change her mobile number four times in the past six months because Lee keeps pestering her with calls.

    Sources say even though Blue star Lee has dated a string of girls since his relationship with Liz fizzled out earlier this year, he still thinks it's ok to ring her for a chat when he feels like it.

    He's been calling her non-stop even though he says publicly he doesn't want to rekindle their romance.

    Liz has told pals she is definitely over Lee, doesn't want him back and wishes he would leave her alone. An insider tells us: "Liz finds the whole thing terribly upsetting.

    "Lee usually calls when he's had a few too many beers. He's quite bolshie and some of the things he says are not the kind of things she wants to hear.

    "He probably doesn't realise she keeps changing the number to get away from him.

    "He might think it's a bit of harmless fun, I'm sure loads of people call up their ex-partners when they've had a bit too much to drink, but in this case it's got a bit out of hand."

    Liz, 22, and Lee, 23, dated on and off for more than a year before finally splitting in April.

    Lee's publicist said last night: "He denies harassing Liz and wouldn't understand why anyone is saying he is."

    BEDDER OFF JUST SHUTTING UP, LEE
     

    It's been all of a nanosecond since Lee Ryan has felt the need to share some of his words of wisdom.

    So, thank goodness the Blue singer has come out with some more fascinating facts about his life.

    The 20-year-old reckons that virgins are "hard work" and that he prefers to bed women who have slept around.

    His ex-girlfriend Atomic Kitten Liz McClarnon must be honoured to have been linked with such a gent. "I don't mind if a woman's got a bit of history. I'd never judge her on that. Besides, virgins are too much like hard work!"

    And he's not bothered if his lovers sell their story, either.

    He added: "Good luck to them. I don't mind because the girls usually say I was good!

    "One even said I was better than Leonardo DiCaprio. How could I complain about that? I'm bloody brilliant, me!"

    If you're such as studmuffin, Lee, how come none of your women hang around for long?

    Lee Ryan pöbelt wieder

    Dem Jungen scheint sein Erfolg wohl zu Kopf gestiegen zu sein. Lee Ryan von Blue macht sich in letzter Zeit extrem unbeliebt: Erst wird er betrunken am Steuer seines Porsches verhaftet, dann tritt er auf einem Festival "aus Spaß" einfach eine Campingtoilette um, weil er denkt, sein Manager säße darin - dummerweise war es ein wildfremder Zeitgenosse, der den Schreck seines Lebens bekam - und nun legte sich der Sänger am Londoner Flughafen mit einer Angestellte an und beschimpfte sie so wüst, dass die Umstehenden rote Ohren bekamen!

    Was war passiert? Lees Flug war zwar schon längst aufgerufen worden, doch Herr Ryan bequemte sich zunächst nicht, seinen Allerwertesten aus der Business-Lounge in Richtung Check-In zu bewegen. Erst nachdem alle Passagiere schon längst an Bord der Maschine waren und diese bereits über zehn Minuten Verspätung hatte, weil man auf den Promi-Passagier wartete, geruhte der Star endlich aufzutauchen. Die Schalter-Angestellte konnte sich - berechtigterweise - einen Kommentar zu seiner Verspätung nicht verkneifen - und wurde daraufhin von Lee obszön beschimpft.

    Die Quittung bekam Mr. Ryan dafür dann allerdings nachdem er tatsächlich an Bord gegangen war. Der Flugkapitän verwahrte sich lautstark gegen Lees unverschämtes Betragen gegenüber der armen Frau am Schalter und erklärte den anderen Passagieren, er würde diesen "ungezogenen Schnösel" nur mitnehmen, weil es jetzt zu lange dauern würde, dessen Gepäck wieder auszuladen!

    Lee Ryan: Pöbel-Anfall am Flughafen

    Lee Ryan (20), Mitglied der Boy-Group „Blue“ (erst kürzlich blau am Steuer erwischt), hat sich schon wieder danebenbenommen. Wie wir dem britischen Boulevardblatt „The Sun“ entnehmen, bekam Lee auf dem Londoner Flughafen Heathrow einen heftigen Pöbel-Anfall: Kurz vor Abflug mahnte ihn eine Stewardess, sich ein wenig zu beeilen. Doch „Ich-hab-Star-Allüren-Ryan“ blieb einfach in seinem Sessel in der Business-Lounge von British Airways sitzen. Der ganze Flieger musste warten - und Ryan wurde auch noch aggressiv. Er pöbelt die unfreundlichen Worte „F*** off...!“ Ende vom Lied: Als der Blue-Sänger endlich deutlich gemacht hatte, dass er ein wirklicher „ViP“ ist, stieg er lammfrom in die Maschine...

    Lee Ryan ist Bettnässer!

    "Blue"-Sänger Lee Ryan hat einen ganz besonderen Trick, um Mädels aufzureißen.

    Er sagte jetzt: "Am liebsten falle ich Treppen hinunter. Ich stürze mich selbst die ganze Zeit Stufen herunter. Wenn gerade ein Mädchen vorbeigeht, werde ich im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes auf den Boden knallen und mir wehtun. Da halten die Mädels immer an und fragen, ob alles okay ist. Die Masche zieht immer."

    Tja, aber ob er die Mädels lange halten kann? Wie die "Sun" in ihrer heutigen Ausgabe berichtet, pinkelt und furzt Lee in sein Bett, um es aufzuwärmen
    Lee sagte jetzt: "Ich liebe es, in ein kaltes Bett steigen und es dann aufzuwärmen und dann gehört es mir, weil ich es aufgewärmt habe. Und ich furze rein und so. Furzt in eure Betten und haltet es nett und warm. Wenn es zu kalt wird, pinkelt euch an und es wird wärmer."

    Das ist übrigens nicht die erste etwas komische Aussage von Ryan. Vor kurzen gestand er, dass er gerne einmal Sex mit einem Alien hätte. Er erklärte, er würde sich sogar mit den Außerirdischen, die ja einfach unter uns leben, fortpflanzen.



    Lee und Vanessa von den No Angels?

    Guck mal, Giovanni! Ich hab noch nen Neuen! Und der sexy Typ an ihrer Seite ist auch noch viel berühmter als ihr Ex. Lee tanzte mit ihr bei der 38. Verleihung der goldenen Kamera in Berlin. Als würde Vanny den armen Gio provozieren wollen, dreht sie sich auch noch richtig in die Kamera! Nach der Party ging´s dann angeblich ins Hotel, wo dann auch noch die Nacht gemeinsam verbracht wurde. Und, ist da was dran?

    Vanny: Na ja, ich und Lee hatten einen echt schönen Abend, er hat mich zwar noch ins Hotel gebracht ist dann aber wieder zur Party gegangen um dann weiter zu feiern! Da ist echt nicht mehr gelaufen...! Was heißt denn nun nicht mehr gelaufen? Als was...? Nicht mehr gelaufen als tanzen oder nicht mehr gelaufen als knutschen?

    Lee: Vanessa ist echt symphatisch und sieht auch echt gut aus...wir haben uns sehr amysiert..zum Abschied auch geküsst aber mehr nun auch nicht! 

    Na dann sind wir doch ehrleichtert...und der kleine Giovanni wohl auch!
