Ireland has long been a popular location for celebrity weddings and it seems as if we’re going to have another as The Irish Daily Star reports this morning that new power couple Russell Brand and Katy Perry are keen to tie the knot on Irish soil.
The couple are keeping their wedding plans close to their chest but Brand, who will be in Ireland to promote his latest flick, Get him to the Greek this week, is quoted in the paper saying, ‘I love performing there and I think Katy would love to do a big Irish wedding and a big party’.
Perry will also be in Dublin this month to fill in for Danni Minogue at the Dublin leg of the X Factor auditions. Brand claims his sex-addicted lothario days are in the past since hooking up with the American singer but frankly, we’re not convinced. Mothers, lock up your daughters!
Cracking story in today’s Irish Sun, who tell the story of four members of the North Korean World Cup squad who have returned to their World Cup base having attempted to flee South Africa following defeat to Brazil on Tuesday night. An Chol-Hyok, Kim Kyong-Il, Kim Myong-Won and Pak Sung Hyok are believed to have asked an African nation for asylum after fearing that they would face the wrath of madcap leader Kim Jong-Il for their performances.
Of course, the North Korean camp have denied any incidents ever occurred but manager Kim Jong-Hun did reveal a disturbing titbit of information. According to the Sun, Jong-Hun regularly receives tactical advice from Kim Jong-Il and he added that they plan to use ‘mobile phones not visible to the naked eye’ –  developed by the ‘Dear Leader’ himself – to learn how to beat the Portuguese.
