Brian's Faves
...Finn McCool -There's an old Irish legend about Finn McCool, who was this amazingIrish warrior from Irish folklore. He was just this fantastically coolbloke. I wish I could have been him.
...Westlife - I miss these boys becausethey're my favourite guys. I don't actually miss being in Westlife, butI do miss the 4 of them because for six years they were my bestfriends. Their next album, featuring covers of the Rat Pack songs, isjust brilliant, honestly. It's made with a live orchestra and is fab.
...Lucky Rock - My dad once give me a peiceof rock, which is now a very treasured possession of mine. I touch itfor luck, especially as it was blessed by a bishop and is supposed toprotect me from any dangers.
...Karaoke - Kerry and I are fans of Karaokeand we love singing You're the one that I want because it's such agreat sing-along. We once had a few too many sangrias and got up toperform it in the Cheers bar, in Alcudia, Majorca. That was great!
...Jennifer Love Hewitt - She's a very good looking and talented actress. She was in the Enrique Iglesias video, Hero, remember?
...The NSPCC - I'm really proud that whenKerry and I got married, we asked that instead of buying gifts, ourguests should make a contribution to the NSPCC. It's a very importantcharity that helps children less fortunate than our own.
...Friends - When Kerry and I want to chillout, we normally stay in and watch a few episodes of Friends. It's justclassic TV. I also love to strum my guitar or find my Playstation 2, onwhich I try to imagine I can actually play golf!
...Chinese Food - When we're staying in,we'd rather send out for a Chinese takeaway rather than cook ourselves.My favourite home-cooked meal though, is Kerry's speciality, which isdeep fried chips, eggs and beans with toast, but a Chinese takes somebeating. Kerry insists you can't beat fat chips with lots of salt andvinegar served in newspaper, but she did used to work in a chippy!
...Spoiling Kerry - One of my favouritethings is to spoil my beautiful wife with unexpected presents. I calledher once and said: "I'm in Harrods and have just bought you somethingvery special." She was like: "Ooh what have you got me? Tell me!" Istruggled really hard to keep it a secret. I also bought her a ToyotaYaris once, but my mum ended up driving it. Typical.
Lovelife!

Quotes
"Molly loves my new record Real To Me and knows allthe words, but unfortunately she keeps shouting "bull***t" which isthe first thing I say on the record.

It would be impossible, not evenat McDonald's."- how his life has changed

"We still have the wintery ballads...there's a few up-temposas well, like the Celine Dion-type of up-tempos. It's not like thestomp of Backstreet Boys. I can't see it doing worse than the first. Itcan only do better."- talking about the new album

Nicky explained: "There's abit at the end of the video on the last line of the song which has usall with Mariah in slow motion, butwhen we saw the finished version, we're all smiling except Bryan, whois staring at her boobs.Because it's in slow motion it's really obvious, so the video had to bere-mastered so that his eyes are facing straight ahead like the rest ofus.No one noticed until it had already been sent out to a few places, sothere's still a sneaky look earlier in the video that Kerry Katonaisn't happy about."
