Ex-McFadden to fight for kids’ custody with drug scandal-hit Katona

Former Westlife singer Brian McFadden has said that he’ll fight for custody of his kids with ex-wife Kerry Katona, following the knowledge of her addiction to drugs."I’ll fight to get custody of my kids and bring them to Ireland," the Sun quoted him as saying.

Katona was recently caught snorting drugs at her Cheshire home and was also given a police caution for assaulting her accountant.

Brian told TV host Ryan Tubridy: "It is manic. Kerry’s also just got arrested."

The Irish singer is presently in Australia with his fiancée Delta Goodrem but plans to return to his country if he gets his kids back.

He said: "If I get full custody of the kids, I will be coming back to Ireland."

Meanwhile, Katona, who has been sacked from her 250,000 pound -a-year job fronting TV commercials for food giant Iceland, is reportedly terrified after hearing Brian’s comments.

I will tell you when I’m ready for marriage, yells Salman!

With Salman Khan’s much awaited flick ‘Wanted’ ready for release, the hunk of an actor is all geared up to deliver a Box Office hit and end his Bollywood jinx which includes a string of flops! With the slick promos of ‘Wanted’ running on the idiot box, the movie is one of the most anticipated releases for die-hard Salman fans.According to the latest Bollywood news, Salman spoke at length about his views on media professionals, his career and his much anticipated marriage in a recent TV interview.

The mercurial Salman lambasted the media stating, “You media people really believe that you can make anyone into the biggest star there is, right? Maybe you cannot make or break a star, but you can influence judges, lawyers, public prosecutors, etc. You can also give us more stress with family, old parents and 50 billion people calling up home and asking our family about what is the truth and what is not.”

A miffed Salman continued his rants and maintained, “I wish you would make an effort to clarify stories more sincerely. We get a text message saying ‘this is the story and we need your side of it’. But before anyone confirms, you already have the full story in place and no mention of any version. When you get a star’s side of the story, get it properly... not just a last line saying ‘this person denied it... or wasn’t available for comment...!”

When prodded on the million-dollar question about marriage, Salman retorted, “If you are going to ask me the same question billions of times, I get irritated. Always, ‘when are you getting married, when are you getting married’? Marriage is big. I’m not one to hide it. I will tell you when I’m ready. I’m not going to run away, man. It’s a respectable thing. But you know, this country has more important issues then just talking about my shaadi!”

Speaking about journalist ethics, a mellowed Salman said, “Friendship with journalists doesn’t mean they keep on writing anything. I have very few friends and those that I had, they’ve all passed away, a long time ago. Some of them were my childhood buddies. I have never developed any special relationship with any presswallah.”
