GIRLS NIGHT OOT PERFORMER FENDS OFF STAGE INVADER WITH GIANT WILLY

The Scottish premiere of Girls Night Oot at Glasgow's Webster Theatre was a resounding success and even saw one enthusiastic audience member try to storm the stage.
The bolshy and bantertastic musical sequel to stage hit I Will Survive tells the story of four girls on a hen night.
With songs from the 60’s,70’s, 80’s, 90’s and now, it managed to get everyone dancing in the aisles.
Producer director Paul Harper Swan and his Inside Out Production team provided plenty of laughs with cheeky new lyrics to accompany popular tunes like Steelers Wheel's Stuck In The Middle and Katy Perry's I Kissed A Girl.


During a rendition of ABBA's Man After Midnight one man got hauled up on stage to be a stripper while the encore saw one over zealous audience member trying to get up on stage.
As she attempted to jump up and join the cast during their rendition of Tina Turner's Proud Mary she was fended off by one of the cast - Lauren Ellis-Steele - who played the bride to be - wielding an inflatable penis!
Sex mad Donna Hazelton, and the hilarious Alison Rona Cleland, joined Britney wannabe Natalie Tulloch in the supporting roles.
The show continues at Webster theatre in Friday and Saturday April 15 and 16 before heading to other Scots theatres below.
It's a wee bit naughty but a great night out for the gals.

BIFFY CLYRO'S JAMES COVERS UP HIS NAKED SKIN AFTER REVEALING NEW ALBUM COVER

Beverley Lyons
BIFFY Clyro might have got naked for their new album artwork but bassist James Johnston was keen to cover up when he got back to Scotland.
The bearded brother loves his tattoos along with the rest of the group and was keen to complete one of his newest designs.
As soon as he got back from the States he headed straight to the Lucky Cat tattoo parlour in Glasgow for his latest fix.
James chose a very fitting watercolour Scottish thistle tattoo by artist Kevin and had been waiting to get it completed.
The band just released the artwork for their forthcoming album Ellipsis and tomorrow (Tuesday) they will reveal their video for new song Wolves of Winter, the first single off of Ellipsis at 3pm on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/biffyclyro


Simon had previously teased the album cover saying: "I think the artwork for this will shock some people"
He and his bandmates James and Ben Johnston are depicted lining up in the foetal position on the cover.
Their new song Wolves Of Winter is already gaining rave reviews after being played by Zane Lowe.
Simon said of the anthemic song which shows off different studio sounds and techniques: "It feels like the best thing we've ever done. We've found a new verbiage for Biffy Clyro. Wolves of Winter is about us being wolves on a patch and if you come onto that patch, we’ll tear you limb-from-limb.”

VAMPS TALK SCI FI, SHARKS AND ARENAS AS THEY TOUR IN GLASGOW

VAMPS singer and lead guitarist James McVey claims his first novel is along the lines of Maze Runner or The Island.
The talented musician has been writing his debut work of fiction in between tour dates and studio time.
Balancing some spoons on his face, he said: "I'm writing a book at the moment. It is a science fiction adventure story if you like things, not like the Hunger Games but if you like things slightly peculiar and have to think a lot about things like the Maze Runner or Island film, it's along those lines. Hopefully you'll be able to read it soon. I'm on chapter seven and have still got a lot to tell. I'm halfway through."


James, who wowed the crowd at the SSE Hydro for two nights at the weekend with his Vamps bandmates, also revealed his big phobia of sharks.
He explained: "Sharks are my biggest phobia. Imagine if you are swimming in a really deep sea with sharks underneath. You'll see I don't go into the sea when I'm with the band or friends, even though there are no sharks, even in England."
James, Tristan, Connor and Brad thrilled their Scots crowd with an energetic set which saw them perform anthems like Can We Dance, Wild Heart, Volcano and Wake Up.


Connor Maynard joined in live for I Found A Girl while New Hope Club popped up randomly for Oh Cecilia.
Everyone got up on their feet as the boys ran down their runway to blast out their catchy tracks and James and Connor impressed with a short acoustic spot for Written Off and Risk It All.
Showing off their skills on guitar and piano the lads showed they have got the stamina to go the distance as they chatted and flirted with fans.
The Vamps have what it takes to go from arenas to stadiums. This time last year they played the SSE Hydro for the first arena tour and next year there'll be no stopping them. They're on fire.

CALVIN GETS THUMBS UP FROM SELENA

CALVIN Harris has another admirer in the form of Selena Gomez.
The singer has admitted she thinks the Dumfries born hit maker is 'wonderful'.
The 23-year-old singer hung out with close friend Taylor Swift and her DJ man at the iHeartRadio Music Awards last weekend and said: "He's great, honestly, he's such a wonderful guy."
Hands to Myself singer Selena also told Entertainment Tonight that social networking can cause issues.
She explained: "I'm very lucky that I have the platform I have, but on social media, as much as it's a blessing and it's fun, it can really tear people down.
"I always hope the people I'm involved with, and who support me, can just kind of spread love within that. It's hard."

RANGERS MIGHT HAVE HAD A LUCKY CHARM FOR LEAGUE WIN

Exclusive
Is this wee boy one of the reasons Rangers won the league?
Cancer patient Lee Welsh turned twelve yesterday (Tuesday) and Rangers invited him to meet them as a special present before their league winning match.
He was also a very special guest at their press conference last month.
James Tavernier who scored gave him a signed print and Martyn Waghorn gave him a signed jersey.


Lee from Larbert, who won boxing championships before being diagnosed with Non Hodgkin Lymphoma at the start of the year, said: "It was a really good birthday meeting the players and then watching them winning the league. I wished them luck before the game."
He added: "I love football but want to be a boxer because it is so disciplined and keeps you fit. I'm not doing any boxing just now because I have to use my energy to fight this."
Dad Richard added: "Mark Warburton has been brilliant and said any time you want to come up, just phone.
Since the change in management Warburton is like a breath of fresh air and very welcoming.
Lee has chemo so he has got to fit his visits in between that. He's had three bouts and is due a fourth. Now that Rangers have won the league hopefully he is seen as a lucky mascot."

LITTLE MIX HAVE A DATE WITH VIP SCOTS DREAMMAKER KIDS

Little Mix invited some very special little guests to their soundcheck at Glasgow's SSE Hydro.

The girls were keen to be on top form for their third sell out show at the venue - and thought the small kids from Les Hoey MBE Dreammaker Foundation might bring them a bit of extra luck.

They invited the nine children to watch them limber up and even held an impromptu question and answer session with them.

Amongst them were Caitlyn Fraser, 15, who suffers Germinoma a type of germ cell tumours in the pituitary gland.

Caitlyn who is one of only forty five in Britain with the condition and has three brain tumours as a result of it said: "It was so good. They were just singing and I was really excited although I feel a bit sick now."

Holly Dunlop ,8, from Livingston was chuffed after she asked two questions at the soundcheck. She said: "The girls were wearing jeans and hoodies, leggings and sweats and were very casual. I'm a big fan and when they asked us if had any questions I asked what song they liked. They said Black Magic. I got their album on my iPod for Christmas and that gets the crowd going because they do it at the end."

"They also said they had six dancers with them."

Nine year old Alisa, and Karly Bodman, six from Elgin were also at the rehearsal. Karly who suffers from acute myeloid leukaemia and had a born marrow transplant two years ago was too shy to ask anything but loved the songs.

The girls were asked by the small gathering if they went out in Glasgow and revealed they'd enjoyed a curry and a spa day before their gig.

Perrie also said her favourite food was haggis and that she auditioned for X factor in Glasgow because Newcastle was cancelled.






The night before the showbizlion.com can exclusively reveal that Jesy, who recently took two days off the tour because of 'ill health', went out for dinner in Glasgow with just her fiancé Jake Roche from the band Rixton.

She and her bandmates have been very emotional recently and fans have been guessing online that she may be pregnant.

The two, who chose to dine separately from the rest of the band, looked a bit dishevelled as they emerged from their black cab and as they walked hurriedly into their hotel Jake admitted they both needed to shower.

A make up free Jesy put on her shades even though it was midnight.

They didn't stop for any fans.
