Boyzone Singer Stephen Gately Dead At 33…
1:47PM Andrew Belonsky | We were never fanatics, but we did always have a special place in our hearts for Irish boy band Boyzone. Especially for their token gay, Stephen Gately. Sadly, Mr. Gately has passed on. And the sensational, gay-tinged speculation has begun! More »
Boyzone Versus Rihanna’s Entourage
11:27AM Jess McGuire | Oh fantastic, I get to talk about Boyzone again! Why? Because the lads are getting into fisticuffs with rival celebrity gangs, that’s why. Apparently the Irish crooners got “all up” in the grill of pop star Rihanna’s entourage in Sydney recently, and their behaviour led to them copping a stern telling off from security.
Pop princess Rihanna’s band got into a drunken brawl with reformed nineties boy band, Boyzone, when they were in Sydney.
The reformed Boyzone – Ronan Keating, Keith Duffy, Mikey Graham, Shane Lynch and Stephen Gately – were in a nightclub during their national promotional visit when they met the superstar’s band.

Boyzone Party Hard In Melbourne
12:37PM Jess McGuire | Reet reet reet! Another urgent bulletin from the Two Day Old News TM team – Boyzone were in town over the weekend and apparently kicked up their heels quite happily at a couple of Melbourne bars!
Blast-from-the-past boy band Boyzone are in town and some of them were quick to hit the Melbourne nightclub scene on Saturday night.
They dropped into Chapel St bar White Charlie for a “few quiet drinks” before seeing out the early hours in club 161.
We hear the boys were more than happy to pose for snaps with the fans, and mingled with the crowd until about 3am before moving down the road to 161.
Way to party hard, you mad Irish bastards!
To celebrate the existence of Boyzone, please look after the jump for a mind-bogglingly appalling video clip! More »

Boyzone’s Choice Of Comeback Attire Suggests They Are Fans Of Lacklustre Australian Comedy
1:27PM Clem Bastow | You may have read way back that Boyzone had been inspired by Take That and Backstreet Boys’ respective success on the comeback circuit and planned their own money-grubbing reformation tour and single heartwarming return to the industry.
They’ve put the wheels in motion for said reformation, with a schedule that naturally includes a performance at London’s G.A.Y. All good and campy, we thought, until we saw the pictures:
There was just something about their get-up and general “vibe” that was ringing a bell in our minds. It took a while for us to pinpoint precisely what it was, and then we realised:
Someone must have sent the lads from Boyzone a copy of BoyTown. More » 
Boyzone’s Comeback Party Spoiled By Indian-Giver Mika
11:50AM Clem Bastow | Imagine for a moment that you’re a member of Boyzone: you’ve never really been that well regarded, despite cracking covers of Father And Son and Baby Can I Hold You Tonight. You were never the cutest nor the youngest, and there probably aren’t that many people who would be genuinely excited if you got back together – at least, not as excited as they got about Take That.
Imagine, then, that you managed to nab a killer comeback track, written by one of the current buzz kids, and that it all seemed to be falling into place.
Now imagine that said buzz kid is Mika and, being a sooky sooky la la, he decided you couldn’t record the song he’d offered for anyone to record after all. Spare a thought for the Oirish lads, because it’s all true.
Mika penned the song, called I Gave It All Away, for other acts to buy and release.
But after Boyzone recorded it the Grace Kelly star decided they were “too cheesy” — and BANNED their version.
An industry insider told me: “Mika wrote the song and made it available for other artists. Boyzone loved it. They thought it was perfect to launch their comeback so they recorded it and it sounded great — a certain No1.
…Boyzone — who had a No1 single with When The Going Gets Tough in 1999 — have been left gutted. A spokesman for the band said: “It’s a real shame because it’s an incredible song and we all loved it.”
Doesn’t that last little quote just kill you?
Can’t you see Boyzone crying into their Guinness and brown bread in a dank Dublin pub, Ronan putting a fatherly arm around Stephen Gately and saying, “Don’t cry, little one. We’ll get us a comeback single if it’s the last thing I do!”
Mika should be ashamed of himself and may the leprechauns haunt his dreams. More »
