OHMYGOSSIP — Offset wants Kim Kardashian West to run for president in 2020.
The Migos rapper – who is married to Cardi B – thinks the ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ star should become the first ever female to represent the United States because of all the work she’s doing for the criminal justice reform.
The 26-year-old star – who has been in jail multiple times for weapon charges and marijuana possession – told TMZ.com when asked if the reality TV star should run for head of state: “Hell yeah, I f**k with that sh*t. I’ve been through that sh*t. To be able to have a second chance? That’s one hunnid. Kim for president, man. She deserve to be president. Ain’t no other president doing that sh*t … And she helping black folks, so I f**k with that 10,000 times hard.”
However, it looks like the 37-year-old beauty – who has three children; North, five, Saint, two, and Chicago, nine months, with her husband Kanye West – may need a little more persuading if she’s to run for office as she has admitted she knows “nothing” about politics and wouldn’t even waste her time “going there.”
Addressing rumours on her blog KimKardashianWest.com, she said: “Honestly, I don’t even want to go there. I feel like it [being the president of the US] is the hardest job in the world, I don’t know much about politics.”
However, Kim is certainly winning over the potential vote of a lot of people as she recently convinced President Donald Trump to pardon Alice Johnson – a 63-year-old grandmother who was thrown behind bars in 1997 on money laundering and drug conspiracy charges – after she employed a team of lawyers to defend her.
She’s also now trying to get another convicted felon released from prison.
Kim is fighting for a 30-year-old man called Chris Young, who was sentenced to life in prison for marijuana and cocaine possession after being arrested in 2010, because she thinks it’s “unfair” that he was given such a harsh sentence.

OHMYGOSSIP — Mel B is willing to do “whatever it takes” to prove she’s a stable mother.
The ‘America’s Got Talent’ judge has ben ordered by the court to submit four months of drug and alcohol testing after a judge demanded a “full scale evaluation” as part of her custody agreement for her daughter Madison, seven.
However, the 43-year-old singer is determined to prove she’s a fit person to look after her children and has agreed to do a drugs test twice a week instead of once.
Her spokesperson Gary Madatyan told UsWeekly: “Melanie is willing to do whatever it takes to provide proof to the court that she is a stable person.
“She was ordered to take one test a week, but Melanie wanted to do more, and offered to do it twice a week. Melanie will be drug tested twice a week.”
The judge also ordered Mel and her ex-husband Stephen Belafonte – who have agreed to split the cost of the weekly testing – to abstain from alcohol or drugs at least eight hours before spending time with their little girl.
A source said recently: “The court ordered that neither party can consume drugs or alcohol at least eight hours before caring for Madison, and that they must choose a new custody evaluator by September 14 – both sides will submit names and the court will pick which evaluator to go with.
“After the court picks the evaluator then the evaluation will begin.
“The court today did not take custody away from Mel nor did they give Stephen what he wanted. Things could change in terms of custody down the line once the custody evaluation is complete, there has to be a custody evaluation in order for the court to make new custody orders.”
The Spice Girls star claimed last month she planned to check into rehab following an “incredibly difficult” six months that had seen her diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) but she recently clarified she didn’t need help with alcohol or sex addiction after rumours began to circulate.
She said: “I’ve been in therapy since my father got diagnosed with cancer nine years ago. My therapy changed a little bit because I was in a very intense relationship, which you can all read about in my book.
“I do address a lot of those issues. But you know, no, I’m not an alcoholic. No, I’m not a sex addict. You know, I was with the same person for 10 years and that was quite a turmoil, very intense. That’s all I can say about it.”
Mel also has daughters Phoenix, 19, and Angel, 11, from previous relationships.

OHMYGOSSIP — Jo Wood claims Roxanne Pallett was “always playing up to the camera” on ‘Celebrity Island with Bear Grylls’.
The 63-year-old model says the former ‘Emmerdale’ actress – who recently accused Ryan Thomas of assault on ‘Celebrity Big Brother’, only to back-track on her comments and apologise for her actions after leaving the house – was “luckily” only on the island for four days.
She said: “Luckily, she was only there for four days. She was always playing up to the camera.”
Jo – who was previously married to Rolling Stones rocker Ronnie Wood – claims Roxanne was “suddenly in a terrible state” when she opted to depart the show, which was filmed in May.
She told The Sun’s Bizarre TV column: “There was a lot going on, then suddenly she was in a terrible state and was leaving.”
‘Celebrity Island’ sees several famous faces attempt to fend for themselves for two weeks after being dumped on a land mass in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, and Paris Lee and Montana Brown also departed the series.
Former ‘Waterloo Road’ star Roxanne – who quit her radio show on Minster FM and panto ‘Cinderella’ earlier this month following her ‘CBB’ fallout – left the island because camp bonfires gave her traumatic flashbacks.
The 35-year-old actress’ spokesperson recently said: “Roxanne, her grandmother and mum were involved in a house fire in the middle of the night, when she was 16.
“Roxanne and her family were rescued by emergency services after being trapped in the house for a substantial amount of time.
“Roxanne suffered smoke inhalation and her mum was hospitalised for months as she lost her sight, this later returned after lengthy medical care.
“Her house was completely burnt out and Roxanne and her family lost all of their belongings.”
Martin Kemp, James Cracknell and Anthony Ogogo also star in the upcoming series.

OHMYGOSSIP — Colin Farrell and Common have joined ‘Eve’.
The 42-year-old actor and the 46-year-old rapper will join forces with Jessica Chastain in the drama movie, which will be directed by Tate Taylor.
According to Deadline, Jonathan Decker and John Norris will executive produce the motion picture, which will be produced by Chastain and Kelly Carmichael for Freckle Films.
Nicolas Chartier and Dominic Rustam will produce the film for Voltage Pictures, who will handle the sales at the Toronto Film Festival, which started on Thursday (06.09.18).
Chastain will play the titular character who works for a black ops group headed by Farrell’s alter-ego Simon, while Common will star as Eve’s former fiance Michael.
Taylor replaced Matthew Newton as the movie’s director last month following an online backlash over the exiting filmmaker’s history of alleged domestic violence.
Newton said in a statement: “I notified Jessica Chastain and the other producers on the film Eve that I will be stepping down as director.
“Since the announcement of this film, the responses, which are powerful and important, have not fallen on deaf ears. I am profoundly aware that I have a responsibility to lead where I have failed in the past.
“I can never undo the harm that I’ve caused the people I’ve cared about and I carry that shame and responsibility with me every day.
“Over the past eight years, I have been working extensively with healthcare professionals to help me overcome my addiction and mental health illness.
“For the past six years I have lived a quiet and sober life. All I can do now is try to be a living amends and hopefully contribute to the positive change occurring in our industry.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Eminem is already back in the studio.
The 45-year-old rapper – whose real name is Marshall Bruce Mathers III – only dropped his surprise album ‘Kamikaze’ last week, but he’s already recording some new material for another potential forthcoming release – and it looks like his long-time enemy Machine Gun Kelly is in the firing line once again.
Shady Records-signed producer Mr. Porter told Skoglund16 TV: “Right now, he in there working. We doing something else right now, but trust me, we’ll get to it.
“I’ll tell you this: I wouldn’t wanna be [Machine Gun Kelly]. It’s great that you took that opportunity and did that, hey, kudos to you, good for you.
“The one thing that I’m worried about . . . You remember when Thanos threw that whole planet at Iron Man? [It will be like that].”
Eminem decided to get back in the studio after Machine Gun Kelly, 28, released his diss track ‘Rap Devil’ in response to his newly-released song ‘Not Alike’.
On the song, Eminem raps: “Now you wanna come and f**k with me, huh? / This little c**k-sucker, he must be feeling himself / He wants to keep up his tough demeanour, so he does a feature / Decided to team up with Nina.
“But next time you don’t gotta use Tech N9ne if you wanna come at me with a sub-machine gun/And I’m talking to you but you already know who the f**k you are, Kelly/I don’t use sublims and sure as f**k don’t sneak-diss/But keep commenting on my daughter Hailie.”
Eminem fell out with MGK in 2012 when the rapper said his daughter Hailie – who was 16 at the time – was “hot as f**k” and the pair have been feuding ever since.

OHMYGOSSIP — Blink-182 have cancelled their autumn tour because Travis Barker is not “well enough”.
Doctors have ordered the drummer, who suffered from blood clots in his arms in June, not to perform on the band’s upcoming autumn mini-tour, which was due to start at Riot Fest in Chicago, which takes place from September 14-16.
Blink wrote in a statement: “It is with a heavy heart to report that blink must cancel its fall mini tour which was set to kick off September 12th on their way to headline Riot Fest in Chicago. Medical issues have sidelined Travis per doctors’ orders. Trav’s medical team anticipated he would be well enough by fall to tour but after recent checkups they were not able to clear him in time for the scheduled run of dates. (sic)”
Travis revealed doctors have told him the risks associated with drumming are “too great” for him to get back to his sticks for now, but he is doing “everything” he can to be able to tour again.
He added in a statement: “The past few months have just sucked as I have been sidelined just waiting for my doctors to clear me so I could get back on the road and perform with my band. Unfortunately, the risks associated with drumming are still too great.
“I am doing everything I need to do so I can get back on the road as soon as possible. I want to thank my fans, family, friends and bandmates for all the love and support. (sic)”
The band are hoping to headline Riot Fest in 2019.
Blink were forced to postpone dates on their Las Vegas residency in June when Travis’ doctor warned him not to perform after he suffered from blood clots in his arms, followed by a staph infection.
Travis said: “I’m as good as I can be. I’m just following the doctor’s orders. I actually had [a] staph infection and a ton of blood clots, and I’ve just been in a recovery period. So I’m just waiting for everything. I see doctors weekly.”
What’s more, Travis was involved in a potentially tragic car crash in July when his vehicle was hit by a school bus, but he and his son, Landon Asher, 14, escaped unhurt.

OHMYGOSSIP — Ryan Thomas has been forced to leave the ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ main house and go into “quarantine” after falling ill with a mystery illness.
The former ‘Coronation Street’ actor hasn’t had the easiest of times recently following his punch row with his former co-star Roxanne Pallett last week, and it seems all the stress has wreaked havoc with his stomach as he’s been moved to the spare bedroom with a sick bucket because he’s been feeling “unwell.”
Big Brother announcer Marcus Bentley told viewers in last night’s (06.09.18) episode that Ryan would be spending the day on his own, adding: “Ryan is feeling unwell. On medical advice, he will be spending the day in the spare bedroom.”
Ryan’s health has been deteriorating over the past few days as earlier this week he asked Big Brother if he could see a doctor because his muscles were aching.
He complained at the time: “Honestly you have no idea, all here, all here, everything is fully aching. I know tomorrow I’m going to feel worse. I’ve been in every bed here really. My leg is really sore.”
Ryan’s battle with ill health comes just days after Roxanne accused him of being a “woman beater” after he playfully jabbed her in the side while in the abode.
The former ‘Emmerdale’ star’s accusations led to the 34-year-old actor receiving a warning from Big Brother, which infuriated viewers as they didn’t believe he had done anything wrong nor had he intentionally set out to hurt the brunette actress.
Roxanne has since back-tracked on her allegations after leaving the infamous abode last week and has admitted she made a “horrible mistake”.
But Ryan’s mother Sandra is worried about his state of mind since the incident.
She said recently: “I don’t think I’ll ever forgive her. I just want Ryan to feel good in his own state of mind. That will help me forgive Roxy more, when he gets over it and he can be normal again. It’s how she apologises to him.
“I can’t watch him cry. It makes he really distressed, it really does. It hurts.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Kanye West served as creative director at the Pornhub awards on Thursday (06.09.18).
The 41-year-old rapper and his company DONDA collaborated with Willo Perron’s WP&A agency to curate the Los Angeles ceremony – which was streamed on both Kanye’s wegotlove.com and the adult entertainment website – and even opened the show by performing ‘Hurry’ with Teyana Taylor.
During his performance, Kanye was said to have used several lyrics referencing his “appreciation for the female anatomy” before praising Los Angeles and leaving the stage.
The ‘All Day’ hitmaker custom designed all the statuettes given out on the night, and even individually styled all the presenters.
An official announcement about his involvement said: “Kanye has designed a bespoke erotica-inspired award statue for each of tonight’s unique categories. In line with the futurist theme, the award statues represent imagined alien sex toys.”
Kanye also debuted a new music video for his collaboration with Lil Pump, ‘I Love It’, which was directed by Spike Jonze, and merchandise he had designed was on sale at the event.
Giant videoscreens showcasing artwork by Richard Kern provided the backdrop to the ceremony, which was held at the Belasco Theatre.
Other performers at the event – which was hosted by adult film star Asa Akira – included Young MA, Blackbear, and Dana Dentat.
The ‘Stronger’ singer’s involvement in the ceremony came after he spoke of how much he loves watching adult movies on Pornhub.
Kanye – who has daughters North, five, and Chicago, eight months, and son Saint, two, with wife Kim Kardashian West – was asked if becoming a father to girls had changed his views on women, and replied: “Nah I still look at Pornhub. Blacked is my favourite category. What’s the point of being Kanye West if you can’t let’s break down the porn categories. A lot of black on white, obviously.”
Following his comments, Pornhub offered Kanye a free lifetime membership to their website.

OHMYGOSSIP — Sam Humphrey is to undergo “high risk” surgery.
The ‘Greatest Showman’ actor – who suffers from skeletal dysplasia and stands at 4ft 2in and- is set to go under the knife in Los Angeles after suffering from Crohn’s disease complications and his loved ones have appealed for privacy over the coming weeks.
His family said in a statement to E! News: “Sam has been suffering from complications due to Crohn’s disease, which is exasperated by Sam’s skeletal dysplasia and size.
“He is currently under the care of some of the best doctors in the world at Cedars Sinai and is undergoing high-risk corrective surgery. His family and friends are with him and they ask for privacy while Sam is treated and recovers.
“They welcome everyone’s prayers and support at this time.”
Shortly before the news was announced, the 24-year-old star took to his Instagram account to wish his ‘Greatest Showman’ co-star Zendaya a happy birthday.
He shared a photo of them together and wrote: “To a really amazing beautiful gal.
“She’s super talented and a huge super star; what an incredible experience and honor to work alongside such a talented talented young artist!!HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZENDAYA.(sic)”
Sam has previously spoken about how he had wanted to be an actor since he was a child and cited ‘Greatest Showman’ co-star Hugh Jackman as his inspiration.
He previously said: “I’ve always wanted to become an actor since the age of five. Lots of kids wanted to grow up to be a fireman or anybody else.
“It was when I was eight years old, I saw Hugh on the big screen for the first time. I really enjoyed his performance. Something just triggered inside me and knew that was the guy I wanted to follow as an actor and for my career. Ever since then, he was my inspiration in acting.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Selena Gomez feels “a little selfish sometimes”.
The ‘Heart Wants What It Wants’ hitmaker says it is important to use her fame to give back and is taking her volunteering with A21 – a non-profit organisation that works to fight human trafficking – “extremely seriously”.
She told E! News: “I think that it’s easy for someone in my position to maybe be associated with an organisation because they feel it would be great, they can contribute dollar-wise. None of that is wrong. I think for me, I’ve been wanting something that I felt like I could contribute most of my time to, because I love what I do, but I feel a little selfish sometimes and I have always said that. I take it extremely serious and my friends are heavily involved with me because it’s not something happening a million miles away. It’s actually happening here.”
Meanwhile, Selena recently revealed she has been silently supporting A21 for the past six months but remained silent about her work because she didn’t want people to think she was doing it for attention.
She said: “I wasn’t going to immediately start discussing it. It’s out of my comfort zone. I needed to be fully immersed in it. [It’s not about] ‘What a great thing another celebrity is doing’ … That’s not why I want to talk about it. I can’t be silent about this.”
Selena also took to Instagram to urge her fans to find out more information about
A21 on their website.
She wrote: “Alright. Speaking from my heart for over an hour to someone who puts those thoughts into paid words can be hard for me. The older I get the more I want my voice to be mine. This is all apart of my work within an industry that’s been around longer than all of us have been.
“The purpose of my interview was three fold. My work with A21, my new collection with Coach, and some new music. As I’m aware there will always be interests in one’s personal life because that’s the pace of our ‘social’ generation. I’m grateful for my position and I will always find ways to make my job more about others and giving back – all while having the best time with my music, fashion, film and my love for learning about the world that I’m eager to tap into more and more.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Cate Blanchett’s children think she’s really “uncool.”
The 49-year-old actress may have numerous films under her belt and a successful theatre directing career, but her kids – Dashiell, 16, Roman, 14, Ignatius, 10, and Edith, three, whom she has with her husband Andrew Upton – think she’s an embarrassment and have encouraged her to bag better roles.
Speaking on ‘The Jonathan Ross Show’, which will air on Saturday (08.09.18), the ‘House With a Clock In Its Walls’ star said: “They do and they don’t [watch my films.] My son gave me some great career advice a few years ago, he said, ‘Mum, when are you going to make a blockbuster?’
“I said, ‘I was in ‘Lord of the Rings’!’ And he said, ‘Yeah for about 30 seconds.’ So it didn’t really count. I had no brownie points with my children.”
Her co-star Jack Black – who has sons Samuel, 12, and Thomas, 10, with Tanya Haden – added: “My boys, they actually prefer the work of Will Ferrell. I think it’s natural that kids think that their parents are really uncool and embarrassing.”
Cate and her family recently moved back to the UK from her native Australia because, although she’s used to seeing killer snakes and poisonous spiders around, she wanted her children to grow up in a country that is more “benign.”
She explained when asked why she moved back to the UK: “I just think that in my country you walk into a field and you’re going to be killed by some kind of snake or accosted by a huge [animal.] It’s much more benign here… pigs, chickens.”
And in between acting and raising her kids, Cate is looking forward to catching up on novels she hasn’t read and pottering around in the garden.
She said recently: “I suppose that’s what I like about coming back here.
“There are so many books I haven’t read, so many films I haven’t watched, so many conversations I haven’t had, so many plants I haven’t planted… It’s important to sort of sit and think what could be next.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Shane Richie will return to ‘EastEnders’ later this year.
The 54-year-old actor will reprise his role as Alfie Moon for a big autumn storyline, after he re-appeared on the BBC One soap in May only for his alter-ego to discover his wife Kat Moon’s (Jessie Wallace) cousin Hayley Slater (Katie Jarvis) is carrying his baby.
Alfie was under the impression Hayley was about to have a termination before he headed back to Spain, and he will no doubt be shocked to see she decided to keep their unborn baby.
Shane’s alter-ego will get in touch with Kat to ask for her help with a favour, but unbeknown to her he will be in London to surprise her.
The actor has already started shooting his comeback ahead of the autumn plot.
In May, Shane hinted that he could make a permanent ‘EastEnders’ return.
He said: “I think when you see tonight’s it actually raises more questions, so this is certainly not the last you will see of Alfie. But I can’t say any more than that.”
Alfie’s May return was kept firmly under wraps by ‘EastEnders’ bosses after Shane met with executive producer John Yorke about a comeback, and the producers went to extreme lengths to ensure nobody knew he was back.
Shane added: “We had code names, censored scripts, cars with blacked out windows.
“Obviously John and the team wanted to keep it a surprise for everyone.
“It was exciting to be back at Elstree, especially without anyone knowing.”
Before Alfie’s ‘EastEnders’ return earlier this year, viewers last saw the character in the soap’s 2017 spin-off show, ‘Kat and Alfie: Redwater’.
The programme saw Kat and Alfie head to Ireland to find her secret son, but the trip nearly killed the pair of them, and the series concluded with the fates of the beloved characters unknown.
Kat was involved in a potentially-devastating boat accident and Alfie, who has a brain tumour, and was last seen on a hospital bed.

OHMYGOSSIP — Adele Silva has suggested Roxanne Pallett didn’t behave like she “should” on the set of ‘Emmerdale’.
The 37-year-old actress worked with the disgraced ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ star on the soap until 2008 and was one of 21 cast members to condemn Roxanne after she falsely accused Ryan Thomas of punching her and she’s admitted the fact no one spoke out in support should have “rung alarm bells”.
She said: “Sometimes when people come in and they don’t behave like they should and that many people are speaking out about it, then obviously it kind of rings alarm bells.
“I think when 20 plus people speak out about a certain person and they’re probably not that vocal on Twitter anyway then… There’s no smoke without fire.”
And Adele claimed it was “baffling” that the 35-year-old star had continued to find work over the years.
She told Fubar radio: “The more we talk about it the more we give attention to it is playing into somebody’s hands, and maybe they like that in a narcissistic kind of way.
“When someone has a reputation and they’re been fired from different jobs or lots of people are claiming they’re been bullied or accused of different things, then it’s baffling that I think that person gets employed again and again and again.
“And then you get to a situation like this and you think this was going to happen at some point.”
The former ‘Hollyoaks’ star went on to praise Ryan and his brother Adam Thomas “the nicest boys”.
She added: “Nobody’s got a bad word to say about them, and I think that speaks volumes that literally everybody was going ‘I know Ryan. I know Roxanne. I love Ryan’.”
Roxanne apologised for her accusations earlier this week and admitted she realised she had “got it wrong” when she quit the show and was able to watch the footage back.

OHMYGOSSIP — Sir Paul McCartney and Keith Richards are planning to go into business together – making inflatable dog kennels.
The two rock legends came up with the bizarre portable pooch product whilst they were both recently on vacation in the Turks and Caicos Islands where they would hang out most days after lunch.
Speaking on the WTF podcast, McCartney said: “[We were] designing portable dog kennels that were inflatable. It was a pretty good idea, we thought … We got round to if you had one you could custom-make them for Dalmatians to be polka dot. It was a good idea, I thought.”
Host Marc Maron the cheekily asked if cannabis was involved in the creative process, to which the musician replied: “In the kennels? In the creative process, it was required.”
McCartney and Richards’ respective bands, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, broke through in the 1960s at the same time and went on to dominate the charts all over the world.
Although it was often claimed that the two acts were rivals, the ‘Can’t Buy Me Love’ hitmaker insists they got on great and respected each other’s work.
He said: “The legend grew that there was a rivalry and everything, but it was the opposite. If we had an album coming out on August 28, we’d ring them and say, ‘Have you got anything coming out?’ and they’d say, ‘Yeah, we’ve got something coming out August 17,’ so we’d put ours back a bit. It was a nice scene.”
The Rolling Stones – comprised of Keith, Sir Mick Jagger, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood – recently completed their mammoth ‘No Filter Tour’ which saw them sell-out stadiums all over Europe.
And McCartney admits their continued success on the road makes him wish that his late former bandmates John Lennon and George Harrison could join him and Ringo Starr for a Beatles tour.
Asked if watching the Stones now made him wish The Beatles could still tour, McCartney replied: “Yeah, but unfortunately two of mine are dead. You’re kidding me? It would be fantastic if we still had the Beatles together to tour.”
McCartney released his new album ‘Egypt Station’ on Friday (07.09.18) and to celebrate the arrival of his 17th solo studio LP he is performing a concert live on on his YouTube.
The set will be comprised of his fresh material, including single ‘Come On to Me’, and hits from his time with The Beatles, Wings and early solo career.
The live stream begins at 8:00PM (ET) / 1:00AM (BST) on Friday night.

OHMYGOSSIP — Boyzone admit it feels “amazing” to be able to sign off their career with a final album which features the vocals of their late bandmate Stephen Gateley.
The Irish boy band bring out their seventh and last LP ‘Thank You & Goodnight’ this November and then are heading out on a farewell tour that starts in January 2019 and for the record the guys reworked one of Stephen’s unreleased solo songs, ‘I Can Dream’, as a tribute to their friend – who tragically died in October 2009 at the age of 33.
Shane Lynch admits once the demo was discovered he and the rest of the group – Ronan Keating, Keith Duffy and Mikey Graham – knew instantly it had to be included on the tracklist.
Appearing on ‘Good Morning Britain’, he said: “Do you know I think when it comes to this being our final album, it’s amazing to be able to wrap it up with Stephen on there too. I think that was important for us. But it came to us. It actually dropped on our laps as a producer got in touch with us guys, or the record company, saying they have this stuff. He was moving his studio and he goes ‘I’ve got Stephen’s vocals on this record from ’03 or ’02. Do you guys want it?’ And as it so happens we were making an album and we said ‘100 per cent, we’d love to have it.’ ”
The guys admit it was a “bitter sweet” experience to use their pal’s vocals as it reminded them of their loss but they are proud at what they have achieved with the track.
Mikey said: “It was an unusual experience, kind of bitter sweet, the song was presented to us and it was about 20 years old or so, so the production style was kind of dated on it. So we took it into studio, stripped it down, built a whole new song about it, changing the sentiment from a love song to a nostalgia song, more about our journey through the last 25 years, and great to have Stephen, his vocal, as the pinnacle, the core of that song.”
Ronan added: “It was very emotional when we first heard it, especially having all of our voices next to Stephen’s after all this time.”
And Ronan is adamant that this is the final chapter in Boyzone’s story as their 25th anniversary as a group seems like the perfect moment bring things to an end.
He said: “Basically we’ve had 25 brilliant years, it’s been amazing, we’ve been blessed. There’s not a lot of bands that have been able to stay together this long. We want to go out on a high, it’s the right thing to do, it feels right for us.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Robbie Williams and Ayda Field have welcomed a third child.
The couple have become proud parents to daughter Colette ‘Coco’ Josephine Williams via surrogacy after a “long and difficult” struggle to have another baby.
Taking to Instagram, she wrote: “I spy with my little eye an extra little hand … So we have been keeping a very special secret! We are delighted to share with you that we have had a baby girl….welcome to the world Colette (Coco) Josephine Williams!!
“It has been a very long and difficult path to get here, which is why we have kept it on the down low. Family comes in all forms, and this little lady, who is biologically ours, was carried by an incredible surrogate mother, to whom we will be eternally grateful. We are over the moon to have this beautiful baby girl in our lives and so blessed that we live in a world which makes this possible. As with Teddy and Charlie, we ask that you respect Coco’s privacy and allow us to grow into our new team of 5! #TeamWilliams (sic)”
Meanwhile, Robbie – who has Theodora, five, and Charlton, three, with Ayda – previously revealed his daughter is a “performer” like her father.
He said: “Ted is a performer. She came out of the womb with jazz hands! She should be doing stuff already because she is just naturally inclined to be a performer and I’m happy about that. It’s a good job and a nice life and hopefully I can help her avoid the pitfalls I fell down … I would love to [bring them on stage] all the time but we’ve chosen to keep the children out of public life. So it’s difficult because the second I do that, it’s an invitation to the world to put their faces in newspaper and right now we’ve got a good thing going because they can’t do that.”
