Labyrinth : Popbitch.com : 09/27/01 SH writes :”New residents to my home town are Bryan McFadden (Westlife) and Kerry Katona (ex Atomic Kitten). A guy I know who works in the local Chartbusters video shop said that one evening Bryan came in looking for the old 80s film Labyrinth. They didn’t have it – so Bryan got the guy who worked there to write a note to Kerry saying ‘We do not have Labyrinth in the shop, from XXXX, who works in Chartbusters’ because she wouldn’t believe Bryan otherwise.” (alecz)
