The Westlife lads have been put on a pre-US tour diet by record label chiefs, because the high life has turned them into bloaters.

One source said “Westlife are going to have to compete against far more skinnier boy bands so they’d better go be thin so as to appeal to the American majority.”

Meanwhile, it sure looks like Westlife’s pretty boy, Kian Egan, has found himself a Westwife. According to reports, Kian was recently spotted shopping for an engagement ring with a mystery blonde at London’s Cartier jewelers.

If he does marry, he will be the second Westlife boy to get attached.
