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 that's 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 embarrassed Bryan. Bry's insisting that he's no good at chatting
up girls and the others aren'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, 'what's
the point?'" adds Bryan. "Even if you do find a nice girl you'll be in
another country tomorrow."
Fame Game
But this doesn't stop the las 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 lights 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 girl 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 appearance 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 enthusiastically
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 Jurassic 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 road show
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 changed 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 hotel 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 joking. 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...
