Former Boyzone star Shane Lynch gave photographers the evil eye as he left a trendy nightclub yesterday. Shane - now working with rappers Redhill - showed off a designer contact lens after partying at the Black Kat Kingdom of Soul club in London's posh Park Lane. The Irish heart-throb, clutching a bottle of plonk, also gave onlookers the finger - either that or he was demonstrating how many of his 15 minutes of fame he's got left. |

BOYZONE motormouth Shane Lynch shows how to attract the paparazzi's attention. Clutching a bottle of wine and dressed like a teen skateboarder, he swaggers from a London club. But at least this time he tries to show a bit more class - in the company of It girl Lady Victoria Hervey. The blonde beauty has become a tabloid darling, turning up in very short skirts at all the city's B-list parties. But it remains to be seen if any of her society breeding will wear off on the 25-year-old Dub. No doubt we'll find out the next time a camera comes his way. Lady Victoria gave him a lift after they met up at the Black Kat UK Kingdom of Soul Club in Old Park Lane. Only last month there was a fracas outside the club involving Ali G creator Sacha Baron-Cohen when he clashed with a journalist. As you can see from Shane's joyous expression, he had a great night partying - with his finger on the pulse of fun. Since Boyzone split the lads have been doing their own thing with varying degrees of success. Lynch has at times appeared bitter towards the now highly-successful solo star Ronan Keating, and has been quoted as saying he wants to give his former bandmate a "damn good slap". He also claims he was thrown out of the boy band because he "wasn't gay enough". But Lynch and his rap band Redhill could yet find success and are "rumoured to be thrashing out a mega-deal with Virgin". He is also in the bad books of rap star Puff Daddy - real name Sean Coombs but now known as P Diddy - after thumping him two years ago at an MTV Awards party after bodyguards manhandled his then wife Easther Bennett. Lynch said: "Puff Daddy is neither a good rapper or a decent human being. We don't get on very well." He threw a punch after finding Easther surrounded by Puffy's minders. He said: "I didn't care if he was chatting her up because that's no problem, she's well able to look after herself. "But I went to make sure she was OK and there was this big, big, black guy - one of Puffy Daddy's gang - pushing her. "Puff Daddy was standing on a table holding a bottle of champagne. "He pointed it and started to shoot it at me for whatever reason, I don't know. "So I jumped through the air and gave him a solid one to the jaw and he fell off the table. Then all hell broke loose." Early last year Lynch's marriage to former Eternal singer Easther fell apart because of the pressures of being a minor celebrity. |
