Tell it like it is, LIL...

must be a thrill for coleen nolan and husband ray - oh and her boys - not forgetting her brother in law - and her sister's fiance as p.a. -

yeah must be a thrill to be on the stage with three great talents like those household names bernie,linda and maureen

what fantastic voices they have and have you seen them dance - pause - badly

lulu anastasia chaka chan must be quivering in their heels

Never did like the Nolans, pop pap.  They are going to look dreadful on the stage. Anne is well out of it.

Or I'm in The Mood For Dancing?

Going  

Are they going to be wearing spandex?  I fear a few camels toes

There don't seem to be many girl groups that last any distance.
Unlike - Take That, Rolling Stones, BoyZone . . .

Well said Edwardian Lil, you speak the truth!

I can't stomach Coleen Nolan and her constant wittering about 'My Ray' & Shane Junior and her size (drumroll) '12' figure.  

I can never fathom why she is on tv . Shes a complete and utter irritant and her treatment of Anne is truly appalling. If I got a ticket for free to see the Nolans I wouldn't go.

Never knew that about Coleen Nolan, if its true, how dreadful!

PS Im a Livecloud virgin

This is the thread to pop your clogs in poppy 

How many of them are there?

So she was going to pay for a prostitute to sleep with her son to please her grandson? And Lil, do you ever pause for breath?

In the 80s, I used to think the Nolans were a fairly affable bunch, with some half decent pop songs; although to be fair, they had only one big hit that I can remember.  I have seen them perform live and they were pretty OK.  In Blackpool it was, quite a number of years ago; maybe 1990...  However, they ain't no Abba.  They are an end-of-the-pier act IMO. 

SO, I phoned up to see how much the concert tickets were for this year, in Wolverhampton, as I thought 'why not, should be a laugh...me and hubby can go...'  NEARLY FORTY QUID EACH!  I don't think so Sonny Jim!  I only paid £20 for Fallout Boy and I am only paying £22 for Paramore in December (sorry if you aren't familiar with them, but they are quite successful American rock bands who fill concert arenas in five minutes flat, and they charge HALF of what the Nolans charge!)

I used to like Colleen, but like a lot of people, am fast going off her.  I feel she has got too big for her boots, and that sarcastic, 'trying to funny and cheeky' kind of attitude that she has has gone sour and cold.  On family fortunes the other night, she won a prize for her answer, a weekend somewhere in the UK I think, and she said coldly 'thanks a lot,' and rolled her eyes.  Apparently, she thinks it's funny to always be rude and sarcy.  That kind of cheeky, rude attitude was only funny the first 4 or 5 times.  Seeing it every time she is on telly is downright tedious now.

As for Anne being ousted out; I understand from an interview with Anne earlier in the year that it was indeed something to do with Ray (Colleen's hubby,) and a row she had with him, but I wonder also, if it is something to do with her allegations about the Nolans' father; Anne said he sexually abused her, after he - and the mother - had died, and the rest of them were outraged and shut her out, claiming that none of them had been abused, and they weren't wholly sure she was telling the truth.

Still not sure why Anne felt the need to tell this after her father had died, and 40 odd years after it happened, but nevertheless, she has been treated appallingly by the rest of her family. 

What goes around comes around though; I am sure things will turn around for Anne, but I would disown them as a family, and refuse to ever acknowledge them again.  Blood is not ALWAYS thicker than water, and friends can be more reliable than family at times... 

But yes, I agree Colleen is quite annoying now

I m not a fan of Colleen I saw her as quietly manipulative when she was on DOI  when she is  on loose women which is a program I barely watch anymore, I put the sound on mute her voice is whiney and depessing and she has nothing interesting to say

Well said Marguerita.

Truth is..I need to get laid..

Coleen seems to aim at being the friendly mother on the Iceland ads and the chatty comedian on Loose Women.  I don`t believe either of them any more, she admitted just last week on Loose Women to having made a sex tape and her son was in the audience .  I think she was very manipulative on DOI the way she canvassed for votes on LW and in her numerous newspaper columns she admitted that she and Anne did not speak.  None of this relates in any way to the personna she wants to portray to the public.

Again, well said Jeppa.  And as someone mentioned earlier, did she not admit to getting her son a prostitute on his 16th birthday to enable him to lose his virginity?!     I sincerely hope she was joking, but I have a sinister feeling she wasn't. 

That was another thing she came out with on Loose Women pixie, it was the first Shane Ritchie had heard of it and, needless to say, he wasn`t happy.  He did say that he was sick of being blamed for every single thing that had gone wrong in her life, despite the fact that she admitted in her autobiography to having had an affair herself when she was married to him.

Oh I had forgotten about that Jeppa  Yes she was very bitter towards Shane, and let's face it - it takes two to break a relationship (in most cases anyway...)    She isn't the cutesey little blue eyed miss-innocent that she has presented herself as, is she? 

had a few moments to spare and read some of the extracts from Anne's memoirs. The poor cow!

i've seen  the nolans 6-yes count them 6 times-fourth time at the night out in brum (i was visiting) coleen was on stage-she had to leave at 9pm, cos she was 14, i was younger, i was gutted she had to leave
i didnt half fancy her
i dont now

yes it's terribly sad - there is no 'class' there at all no matter how hard they try to reinvent themselves

i urge you all to read anne nolan's statement and denise nolan's statement on their respective sites

coleen nolan has brought in 'the kitchen sink' ie her husband her sons her brother in law

why couldn't they have found 'something' for the founder member - perhaps joing them for a song or even as a p.a. - oh sorry - that job has been given to maureen nolan's fiance!

they are in it to fleece the public - no more

to say anne wasn't in the nolans for long is daft - there is such a thing as the internet and you tube

they were never nice people - common

suddenly linda nolan is in with the woodwork - she left 25 years ago to do 'nudie photos' - yes personal tradgedy - but with this in mind surely she would say - we must help our sister as she too has been through hell and back - but no - as soon as she got her foot in the door it was every man for himself - my gok - life's lessons are hard enough but not to actually learn from them

tours end -

wot then?

coleen nolan's career has been built on shane richie's popularity

she went on loose women as a guest to reveal details about his cheating at the height of his career

she forgot to mention that she cheated on him BEFORE he strayed

he didn't go on telly to make a fast buck about that fact - nor did he sell his story to the papers about her being unfaithful during their marriage

why?

because no one would have been interested

it's not my job as an edwardian to help this mob out - but nolans - sort it!

did you see kate thornton on her first day on loose women get her own back at mardy mare anne thingy from weakest link?

she said 'we have met before' 'when i started in the media i had to go and make you a cup of tea' - you ignored me completely

she said her dad hated anne robinson thingy because of it lol

GOOD FOR HER

read anne nolan's statement - coleen nolan has enough money to make these stories go away and has threatened to sue her remaining two sisters for telling the truth

who would do this when your sister doesn't have any money - how big time - how cruel

through her agent - coward!

poor girl has enough on her plate

coleen has said that anne nolan is trying to ruin their tour - em i think you done that yourself luvvie with that hellish rendition of 'bonnie tylers i need a hero' on good morning

I like Colleen and loved her on DOI but Donal was also fab, I don't half pick them on the RTV shows.

I can't stick Colleen Nolan,or most of the rest of those bitter bints on loose women.
Kaye Adams (a true journo) was right to ditch the show,a few years back.

i feel sure that if my memory serves me right -kaye adams thought that nolan was beside her with ref. to getting more money typical form - when nolan said 'i am right with you - go for it' adams got fired and nolan stayed need i say more

SHOCK! One thing wasn't adding up - so investigations were needed! How can Coleen Nolan's husband (a pub player) play on a LIVE NATION tour? How can Bernie Nolan's husband (a car salesman) play drums on a LIVE NATION tour? SIMPLES:: The bloody Nolans are going to MIME TO TAPES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They have just made an album - I bet they are gonna lip sync! lol Ironically, Coleen Nolan wasn't on the original recording of I'M IN THE MOOD - thus them recording their hits recently!!!! I thought something was weird? LIVE NATION wouldn't risk a car salesman and a pub entertainer on a uk tour! This story just gets better and better! lol No doubt each hubby will play a pathetic flurry to prove that it is LIVE - then back to THE TAPES! lol These men aren't professional musicians - not like Jane McDonald's fella! lol

jane mcdonald - bless lol

i can't get over it - they are charging over 40 quid for a ticket TO MIME! yeah buy a ticket why don't you and fill the hubbies pockets as well! rolls eyes I am bored with nolans : (

i tried to save oscar wilde's career too : ( but he simply wouldn't behav

being edwardian - i loathe nasty people getting away with it too many nasty people get off the hook money can launder nasty away : ( cheryl cole - done for GBH against a toilet attendant laundered away away away away oh lovely sensitive cheryl - sweet person - true lady money dear friends : (

Thanks Lil for all your posts.  I agree with much of what you say....  And yes, they probably will be doing some lip syncing and no, I WOULDN'T pay £40 a ticket.  Like I said, I only paid £20 for Fallout Boy and they are MUCH more entertaining than the Nolans; trust me!  LOL.  

Also, I was wondering actually at what point did Colleen become the most successful Nolan sister?  And why exactly? 

Sisters, sisters
There were never such devoted sisters

i think it was slagging alfie moon off dear pixie - then she became famous i wonder how real musicians feel about their husbands pretending to play to tapes and stuff and getting a musician's wage for it? how do you think the original member anne feels knowing she has been excluded but coleen nolan's troublemaking husband is doing the reunion! i wonder if he is essentially a nolan fan and indeed wants to be a nolan lol i wouldn't be surprised such a shame

I'm surprised anyone would pay good money to go and see them.
They look like a bunch of heiffers.
The only one who is still slim is the one they wouldn't let tour with them.

lol i think anne nolan should team up with the beverley sisters and go out on tour! LIVE nation (rolls eyes) LIVE nation only with backing tapes! let's hope the needle sticks......lol
