The place where everyone hangs out, chats, gossips, and argues

Im finding it realy hard to get anywhere with Westlife, I know I sound sad but my daughter was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour three weeks ago, this is her dream... wish upon a star sent our family on a wild goose chase to Dublin on Saturday to meet Brian McFadden, who did not turn up or call.

She is 13 and now struggles to walk, and is deaf in one ear. She belives that we will manage to get through to them. Their manager, promotion company and Brian's manager are not interested.

My cousin Nina listens to Chris in the morning and laughs constantly about his extensive phone book. He rings people all the time and can open doors that other people cannot. I dont suppose he is any easier to contact, but if I could get a message to Chris I would want to know if when these people become famous, do they forget the fans that helped them to get there.

Rebecca has at best 6 months but that looks slim now, all she wants to know is that they know that she exists. We are going on Saturday to Ipswich to their concert, and I am desperate to fulfil her dream. We can get the consultant to verify this information, as we have been told that people make this sort of thing up???

sorry if this notice board is not for this kind of thing.

Nina says that she especially likes tedious link and loved the piece from portugal with fat boy slim. keep up the good work, and thanks for being down to earth. cheers Chris

Not to sound heartless but I'm sure these people recieve a lot of these sort of requests. It's a lot like people who win the lottery and then get deluged with pleas for help, all from worthy causes. I guess what I'm saying is that they can't help everyone, however unfair it may personally seem. Not receiving a response is not personal.

The best thing to do if you wanted to contact any 'star' is to go through their management company. I wouldn't assume Chris Moyles has any personal contact to Westlife.

This is Chris Moyles' management: http://www.vivienneclore.com/

When I was seven my best mate had cancer and eventually died from it. Before he died though, his parents went through an agency that makes dreams come true for ill kids and managed to get him behind the scenes on Wacaday (sp?). Anyway, Stuart's hero Timmy Mallett wasn't interested at all and barely spoke to him, but Keith Chegwin was really good and spent loads of time with him - even afterwards, he called Stuart's parents to see how he was doing and actually turned up (discreetly so as not to make a fuss) to the funeral.

So some of them do do it, even though as Chris said, they must get thousands of requests - and every time someone has a go at Cheggars for being crap, I'm sorry but I have to disagree. I'm not normally into this celebrity thing at all, but I will always remember that.

To be fair, it would get very depressing trying to console terminally ill kids all the time. Good on them that do it though.

Just thought Id let you know that it was really great to get some responses. We did go through a chilrdens charity, they asked us to go to Dublin from Nottingham to meet Brian Mcfadden, we went and he didn't show up. we waited in a hotel room. Rebecca is getting worse and her tumour is well over half the size of her brain now.

Im exposing this story to the media, as Brian has released a solo song, the lyrics are that his fans know his name but not him. If he turned up ar sent some info to those people who were meant to see him maybe he would have a better profile.

Im sorry that my daughter is dying in the wrong year, but a blanket no meet and greet policy for one year is really tough on all westlife fans!!

glad to here that there is one famous person who is human, guess well have to support cheggers too.
