The woman should lose her column. Though people are considering boycotting the advertisers if they do not pull their ads from the Daily Mail. Many companies will not want that association so may force the Daily Mail to do something.

It would be Ironic as it was the Daily Mail that stoked all the fuss over Russel Brand and Jonathon Ross. So to be consistent the Daily Mail should demand they sack the women and boycott themselves if they dont!!!!

Shouldn't that read "Apparently Stephen Gately was a massive bender at the time of his death. :lol: :oops:"

Anyway according the Daily Mail the cause of death was homosexuality.

Incidentally why has the (albeit sad) death of a minor popstar caused such a media furore, it's ridiculous, and sickeningly cynical as so many people (Louie Walsh/Ronan Keating the fat guy from coronation street) use this guy's death to get a bit of publicity.

As accurate as much of their reporting I see. :oops:

Well they did work with him during his Westlife days. Louis Walsh was their manager. So I would expect them to be there.

To cut a long story short, the press were hoping they had 'another Jacko' on their hands, the rest of the 'Zone :lol: were just hoping they could be associated with it (see their upcoming Mutant X-Factor appearance, apparently) :oops:

Highly unlikely the rest of the band were pretty normal. The press may be hoping for a car crash type scenario but the band were pretty normal other than the fact they were in a boy band.

I like the way the DM obviously tried to tough it out before forcing her to come out with this load of crap...

No no, I meant this is a shot in the arm for the band, whether they admit it or not (even to themselves).

Yes but I doubt that this was their intention. I doubt that they are like that. Though they may reform for a reunion tour because of this.

IIRC, before Gately died they were to have a reunion tour anyway, that's what I mean by saying, subconsciously or not, this might be a bigger boost for them than otherwise...

Well they might have a boost in sales, but reunion tours are all the rage now.
