The Dredge: You'll never guess who's helping Louis Walsh pick a new boyband

The best of the day’s celebrity duuuurt.

EVERY WEEKDAY MORNING, DailyEdge.ie rounds up the best of the day’s celebrity dirt – from the top to the very bottom.

#MAN BAND It’s not Ronan Keating or Nicky Byrne or even Mickey Joe Harte helping Louis Walsh with his new boyband, it’s none other than broadcasting legend Aonghus McAnally!

If you’re a child of the eighties you might remember McAnally like this…

Presenting Anything Goes with make and do guru Mary Fitzgerald

… while the nineties saw him hosting The Lyrics Board (aka the best telly ever. EVER)

RTÉ/TV 50

…. but these days Aonghus is a broadcaster and musical performer, and now a boyband judge.

Two-hundred-and-eighty?! That’s a lot of fists of pure emotion!

Psst if you want to meet Aonghus (and who doesn’t?) there are more auditions in the Button Factory in Dublin today.

#ONE DIRECTIONE So One Direction are big in Italy then!

These are the scenes that greeted them in yesterday prior to playing gigs in Verona and Milan.

Last week was Pattinson’s 27th birthday, and Stewie was a no-show. (People)

She’s said to be “heartbroken” over the split, although they’re still living together in the same house. (Perez Hilton)

These kids. We can’t keep up.
