WESTLIFE THE MOVIE?!
A guy called Iam made our documentary that was on BBC2 over christmas. He said if we ever do a movie, he'd be well up for directing it, which would be cool. We would have to play ourselves though cos it would be too weird watching someone else being us!

MARKS BALLS
We've just finished making a new video for world of our own - hope you all like it! There was a lot of hanging around, so we just played a lot of pool. We invented a new game called Balls, but it's basically just bowls on a pool table - Mark's a demon at it!

NUMERO UNO No 9
I can't believe we've had nine No 1s now - it's amazing! we were chilling at home with our friends and families when we heard and it was weird not being together, but we more than made up for it later in the evening! Kian, Shane, me and Mark went out and had a few drinks in London. Well, more than a few!

I NEED A RESOLUTION
As a band we're just gonna keep striving to be the best we can possibly be and I dont think we've done badly so far! For myself I'm gonna try to stop swearing so much. Do I think I'll manage it? Not (bleep)-ing likely!

TOTP AWARDS
We really enjoyed the totp awards. Performing with Mariah and being on stage with her was really cool - such an amazing voice! Seeing J.Lo was great as well. Talk about a superstar! We're glad they were such a success cos totp is massive and has always supported us. So thanks, totp!
BR> STAG DO COMING THROUGH
Bryan's stag do was crazy! We all went down to Limerick City and it was flat-out drinking! We're not planning to sing on the big day though. Well, not unless we get really merry! It's gonna be a top day definitely. A good Irish wedding - they're always mad!

THE BARE ESSENTIALS
We've been out doing promotional work in the Far East again. Bryan loves going because he can pick up loads of electrical goods that you can't buy over here. Our fans over there are great and we love them, but they do get quite manic sometimes and we have to take extra security - otherwise we'd end up with all our clothes being ripped off!

SECRET ADMIRER?
St Valentine's Day was quite a busy one for my postie - only joking! Shane probably got the most cards, but it was a close thing! We worked all that day, but I did get to spend the night with someone special - the Top of the Pops team!

BACK TO THE GRINDSTONE!
Going back to work is always difficult after a long holiday! Immediately after our breaks, we headed off to the NRG Awards in Cannes to perform with Kylie, Geri and Britney. Oh, and there was a big bash to attend afterwards. Oh it's a hard life, isn't it?!

WHAT A BALLS-UP!
Phew! It's all go, go, go at the moment - we've been flying all over the place! Mind you, I quite enjoy being on a plane cos I actually get time to sleep! We all have these great portable DVD players and we're all obsessed with our playstations, too. Nicky loves all the football games, of course - he loves being the goalie!

DO OR DYE!
You may have noticed I've been sporting a new 'do! I felt like a bit of an image change. I didn't do anything too radical though - I just wanted to go a bit darker. I don't think I'd look very good with pink hair!

WALTZING WITHOUT WINGS!
My wedding reception was at Slane Castle and Kerry and I gave each of our guests a special silver coin with our names engraved on it. Then everyone had another little surprise cos I got changed into top hat and tails and we both did a dance routine like Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire! Thant was grand!

WHEN IN ROME!
It was a strange experience being invited to a private audience with the Pope at the Vatican in Rome. We performed at his annual charity pop concert and our mums were so proud they came along to watch!

OVER THE (HONEY)MOON!
The best bit about getting married is the honeymoon - Kerry will kill me for saying that, ha-ha! We started off in SUn City, South Africa and then we went on to Mauritius. All we did was lounge in the sun and eat nice food - perfect!

HEY, MICKEY!
All the other lads have had time off, too. Shane, Nicky and Mark decided to take it easy ans spend some time with friends and family at home. Kian was a bit more adventurous and booked himself a holiday to Florida. He loves it there - he's been loads of times.

RIGHT UP OUR AISLE!
Me and Kerry finally tied the know on the fifth of January. It was amazing and Kerry looked stunning. Loads of our mates turned up to the ceremony, too, like Tash and Liz Kitten, Lee Blue and Ronan Keating. Dane Bowers even sang in the church, which was cracking!
