Louis' Latest Girlband Gaffe... It may merely be a case of over-anxious PR execs trying to drum-up interest in yet another photocall - it could also mean the cat-is-out-of-the-bag on Louis Walsh and Kian Egan's new girlband... Either way, a misdirected press release yesterday named Michele McGrath as a final member of the much hyped group... Michele McGrath Ever since we announced that Louis Walsh and Kian Egan were launching a new all fabulous female group to compete with Girls Aloud, there has been so much media hype surrounding the band. Mainly because we predicted that Kian's girlfriend Jodi Albert and model Michele McGrath had been pre-ear-marked for places long before the open auditions took place... Michele McGrath Now all that has died down and the band is set to be whittled down from eight to five final girls, but an unfortunate PR gaffe has landed poor Michele smack-bang into another media storm... Michele McGrath Yesterday a press release went out to the media to announce a photocall opportunity with the stunning Assets model, stating: "actress and new girlband member Michele McGrath" would be showcasing a product in St Stephen's Green today... Ooops! Michele McGrath As far as we know this was just an over zealous PR slip-up and not a discreet announcement from the Louis Walsh camp leaking information... Although, we're predicting right here that Michele will be in the final line-up along side Jodi Albert, Sharon Condon and Linzi Cowap... We spotted Michele out shopping at 'Alila' clothes store on Drury Street last week.

There's no body that deserves this chance more than her and she's going to do us all proud. Everybody in Clondalkin was so happy for her over the weekend, we're all behind her 100% Delighted! – Dublin September 26, 2008 - 11:19 One of the finalists is Corrina Durran from Clondalkin. She is stunning, an amazing singer and very down to earth. You couldn't meet a nicer girl if u tried. So so glad she made it into the band. AND she is WAY better looking than all of those others put together!! Watch this spot! Louise – South of The Liffey September 23, 2008 - 11:42 i have it on good authority that she is in the band 100%............ good on ya shelly Deaner – Dublin September 22, 2008 - 13:59 Madge, your comments are completely ridiculous. You sound like a very bitter and silly person. Deaner – Dublin September 22, 2008 - 13:57 Bob and Lisa are being very melodramatic over a silly PR blunder that was clearly not Michelle's fault. Her being photographed out shopping is also not her fault and is purely down to the media's interest in her and any story related to this new girl band. If anything it's good PR for the band. I saw this young lady perform in a panto last Christmas that I brought my children to see and she absolutely stole the show in my opinion. She's a very beautiful and talented young lady and I'd be very surprised if she didn't make it into this new girl band. Madge – Dublin September 22, 2008 - 13:13 I think Michelle must have contacted the photographer herself , how else would they know where to find her !Dublin is a big city TALK ABOUT A SET UP -GET OFF THAT HIGH HORSE ALL U MODELS OUT THERE .I Hope you paid the snapper who trawlled to the location just to photograph u shoppin for no doubt free clothes which u'll wear once & return .the inside gossip has been in a magazine so dont go puttin blame on anyone Caitriona – Donnybrook September 19, 2008 - 09:27 What are people acting like Michelle is to blame for a PR Blurb. She has no need to lay low and not be seen in public... Good luck to Michelle, either way she'll be successful, whether she is in a girlband or not Model A1 September 18, 2008 - 18:30 She's fab and will be in the final band. It's not her fault a) if a PR company gets the facts wrong and b) if she gets snapped shopping. Check ur facts Bob & Lisa. Jen September 18, 2008 - 10:47 I fairness it was not really her blunder so why should she lie low........PR's mistake or was it a mistake...........?/ Lisa – Dublin September 18, 2008 - 10:04 Bob ;u r so right ,a bit too much in your face with her .... Michelle darling Pride comes before a fall so watch out & as for PR person who didnt check the mail shot before it went out to media ,your so fired i would say ! Fiona – Sligo September 18, 2008 - 10:00 O dear :what a storm in a tea cup ;i hope to god that the line up listed as above are not goin to be the new girlband .It wont last long ,there will be catfights ........ esaway – egypt September 18, 2008 - 08:54 i wish to send me a beautfull girls pics with pretty eyes trendy r what – Naas September 18, 2008 - 00:49 where can i hear her sing??? bob – belfast September 17, 2008 - 21:21 Michelle would be far better keeping her head down and lie low, a note to you Michelle.... stop going out and smiling for the cameras..keep the head down ...you dont see the other final seven out and in the papers every few days.... I've seen so many hopefuls in projects being shafted in the final stages...... due to being over zealous...
