Brief news from the Delta & The Potato department: the UK tabs have always kept, er, tabs on Our Delta Goodrem and her postmodern mermaid fantasies, largely because not only were her mild-mannered AOR ballads reasonably successful there, but because she was blessed by the hand of the Gods, i.e., she was on Neighbours. And Potato was in... whichever one he was in, so that's his credentials sorted.

It follows, then, that they should take a keen interest in her growing profile in the States as well as us, though I was particularly impressed that Bizarre's Gordon managed not only to big-upps Delts but also get the boot in, in italics for effect, re: Potato's former love, Kerry "Chipshop" Katona (not to mention making approximately 87 "wind" related puns):

I've never been a massive fan of the former WESTLIFE crooner but you've got to admit he's got great taste in women.

Well he has now.

Here's Delta on exceptional form at the Jorge Pasada Foundation gala dinner in New York this week.

She looks a million miles away from her days as a teen in Neighbours.

And a real upgrade from Brian's ex KERRY KATONA then.

That name in all-caps again, just in case you missed it the first time around: KERRY KATONA. Did you get that, Brian "Potato" McFadden? You may be engaged to Our Postmodern Mermaid Delta now, but you were once married to KERRY KATONA.

And so on, and so forth.
