Boyzone vs. Rihanna: Australian Bar Brawl

By Adrian Twist on | From getdagoss.com

Written by Peter Ross (UK) -

This fight is too bizarre even for a celebrity death match battle: weedy Irish boy band Boyzone in a scrap with Rihanna, or to be more precise, her entourage.

A fight between 5 members of Boyzone versus little Rihanna would still be stacked in the Barbadian's favour. So it was real madness to take on the burly blokes whose job it is to protect her. The Irish do like their drink and when too much Guinness is imbibed people do make risky decisions, like tackling on a hardened group of angry men.

The altercation began when one member of Boyzone tried to chat up the girlfriend of one of Rihanna's gang. Said's boyfriend got cross and then a ruckus started between Boyzone and the entourage that was eventually broken up by the bar's security.

The question is which member of Boyzone started chatting up another guy's girl? They're all married and it couldn't have been Stephen Gately who is gay and joined in a civil partnership. That leaves Ronan, Mikey, Shane and Keith as potential love rats. Apparently, Ronan hates the rest of the band, so it is unlikely he was involved, as he was probably keeping his distance. My betting is on Shane who although a devout Christian is quoted as saying the band "hadn't slept for two weeks". Excuses, excuses.

What is it about weedy celebrities taking on tougher opponents anyway. It's like when Tommy Hilfiger and Axel Rose had a fight. Tommy, what were you thinking? You're a fey fashion designer and Axe Rose is a toughened rocker. I guess when you're allowed to do anything you like and you're divorced from reality you probably start thinking you can do anything, even if that's starting fights you'll never win. What next Zac Efron starting on 50 Cent or Shia LaBoeuf having a pop at Russell Crowe.
