Brian McFadden Tops Singles Charts

Just as I was bemoaning the lack of Aussie talent on the singles chart comes the number one debut of Brian McFadden’s newie “Just Say So.” I know he was born in Ireland and all that, but now that he’s living here and marrying our Delta we’ve adopted him right? At any rate, Brian’s new tune is the only local release in the top 30, so I think it’s something to be celebrated.

While the Aussies have finally bowed to the pressure of Lady Gaga’s Fame Monster, they still have a strong presence in the album charts. John Butler Trio is breathing down Gaga’s neck with April Uprising, which holds steady at number two this week. Gyroscope enjoyed a great first week with Cohesion, which comes in at number three. And after five weeks on the charts, Angus & Julia Stone are still going strong with Down the Way, which sits at number 8.

A December Wedding for Delta and Brian

There’s no date just yet, but it looks like glamour couple Brian McFadden and Delta Goodrem will get hitched in December.

“We’re looking at the end of the year, Christmas time, in Australia,” Brian said in Ireland this week.

“During the next couple of weeks, we’ll definitely be setting a date.”

The Goodrem-McFadden clan expanded this week. Brian has two daughters, Molly and Lily-Sue, and now they have two puppies! The fluffballs are named Vail and Aspen after Delta’s favourite ski fields. How cute!

No Wedding Yet For Brian and Delta

Brian McFadden and Delta Goodrem announced their engagement last year, but don’t expect them to rush down the aisle any time soon.

While they originally planned to marry this year, they’ve pushed the nuptials back until 2009 to accommodate their careers. After all, Delta’s going to spend months in America promoting her album and Brian’s going to be touring his new album Set in Stone. Who’s got time to get hitched?

“Next year’s the wedding,” Brian told AAP. “We’ve had three years together every single day, and I think that whole three years was preparing for this year apart.

“It’s been hard but because we’re so prepared for it we knew we’d just work hard this year and try to set up the rest of our life.”

I really feel for them! I spent more than two years in a long distance relationship, so I know firsthand how much it can suck. On the flipside though, once you survive that I think you can survive anything! Good luck to them!

Delta Not Dumped, Brian Says

Well we don’t need to feel sorry for Delta Goodrem any longer. Just days after The Sunday Telegraph reported the pop starlet was dumped by Sony BMG’s American arm, fiancé Brian McFadden has set the record straight.

“The actual truth is she’s switched labels, she’s signed now to Mercury in America,” he told Melbourne’s Fox FM.

“I’ve been reading all week she was dumped but actually she’s over in LA right now shooting a video and the album cover.”

This is great news for Delta. Hopefully we see her receiving the international success she deserves soon!

Delta Says "I Do"

Cuter than cute celebrity couple Delta Goodrem and Brian McFadden are getting married. Contrary to earlier rumours, Delta accepted her Irish beau’s proposal last Friday.

“Contrary to false reports, the couple were hoping to keep the news private however they feel it is important to now confirm their exciting news,” a press statement said.

The pair began dating in 2004, after ending her long-term relationship with tennis ace Mark Philippoussis. They faced a tough time from the British media who alleged Delta was responsible for Brian’s split with ex-wife Kerry Katona of Atomic Kitten.

It’s great to see they’ve come out the other side and seem more in love than ever. There’s no word yet on when they’ll tie the knot, but I’ll keep you posted.
