It's late at night and in a crowded London bar, five famous lads are on a
night out together...
Picture this: five gorgeous mates are huddled round a table in a trendy
London hang out. They share a private joke and laugh, totally unaware that
all eyes are on them. But thats not surprising: when Kian,Mark,Shane,Nicky
and Bryan get together they attract a lot of attention. Big! has got a
ringside view on a night out with the Westlife boys...
Ladees' men
"Stop trying to play the shy irish boy!" laughs Shane at an embarressed
Bryan. Bry's insisting that he's no good at chatting up girls and the others
aern't listening. So he does what all boys do and diverts the attention to
someone else. In this case Mark, who Bryan reckons is the babe magnet of the
band. "Girls come to Mark like flies to poo!" chuckles Nicky. "We saw you
stood outside talking to two models!" chips in Kian. Mark admits defeat and
just grins.
Actually, the Westlife boys find it difficult to find girlies these days.
"I don't bother chatting up girls anymore", Shane sighs, as he sips his
drink. Kian agrees, "when I do try and chat up a girl they think, 'oh
you're only doing that because you're in a band'. But its not like that. And
when girls chat me up I don't know whether it's because of who I am or what I
do".
The other lads nod in agreement."then you think, 'whats the point?'" adds
Bryan. "Even if you do find a nice girl you'll be in another country
tommorrow."
Fame game
But this doen't stop the lads from dreaming.
"So come on then", says Bryan, livening things up."Which band would you most
like to spend the evening with: Precious, The Honeyz or the girls from S
Club 7?" Kian's face ligts up. "The girls in S Club are nice. They're a good
laugh and good looking!" Mark agrees, but Bryan wants more. "Who's your
favourite?" Mark doesn't hesitate. "Don't get me wrong" he says, "they're
all gorgeous but I like Tina best!" Bryan on the other hand is confused. " I
like Rachel and the grl with blonde hair", he declares. After the others
explain there are two blonde S Club babes, Bryan finally works out that it's
Jo he likes. "Are they single?" Shane whispers...
And the talk of famous laydees doesn't stop there. Just as another round
of drinks arrives we hear the lads discussing their recent apperance on
SM:TV. "Cats a real flirt!" exclaims Nicky. "But none of us had the bottle
to ask her out" laughs Bryan. Meanwhile Shane and Mark are debating who's
the best looking: Sarah Michelle Gellar or Katie Holmes.
But hey, its not all girls, girls, girls you know. The chatter does actually
stop for five minutes when the boys see an advert for South Park. Then
they're off, trying to out-do each other with Cartman impressions. Mark is
the undisputed champion and has Bryan in hysterics. Mark throws a peanut at
him to shut him up which sets Westlife off into a huge peanut fight! That
only dies down when Shane spots a gorgeous girl in a pink top and black
trousers. All the lads' eyes are on her and Mark's off! He returns five
minutes later looking sheepish. "I'm not like that you've got me all wrong,"
he insists, claiming he only wanted to say hello...
Money spinner
"I think we should get a Westlife helicopter!" Kian says later on in the
evening, as the conversation turns to what they'll spend their cash on when
they're rich. The others nod enthusiatically and throw in talk about Porches
and dream houses...until the rest of the band are distracted by Bryan who's
sitting up on the back of his chair doing an excellent impression of one of
those dinosaurs from Jarassic Park. Life's never dull, is it?
High Spirits
They boys are in high spirits now and Nicky decides it's time for a
confession. "Remember when we did that roadshow in Dublin?" he asks Bryan.
"Well, when i was in a mobile toilet someone opened the door and everyone
saw me in my boxer shorts!" The others roar with laughter and remember the
last time they were on a shoot with BIG! The pranksters cahnged a sign on the
studio door so all the models thought they had come into BIG!'s studio for a
casting: and the boys got to look at an array of gorgeous gals!
"Do you know what?" says Nicky, grinning massively. "The last time we all
went out was in Sweden, when we all ended up back in my hotle room with
Precious."
"Yeah they're our drinking buddies!" Kian chips in.
"You and Bryan used to be the party animals,"says shane to Kian, "but
these days when me and Nicky go out partying, nobody's gonna stop us!"
"Yeah, we can party from eight in the evening until eight in the morning"
says Nicky, looking chuffed with himself. "But when you go out you're in
bed by two or three in the morning!" which is clearly fighting talk, and so
a Westlife scrap ensues...
The bar's virtually empty. That is, apart from five lads still huddled
round a table laughing and jokin. As we're walking out we glance over at
them, still deep in conversation, and hear Shane saying, "Let's talk about
women again!" Because, as we all know, boys will be boys...
